The X-Men travel to Chicago and try to save as many humans as they can from the impending culling by Holocaust. Sabretooth has Blink teleport himself and Wildchild directly to Holocaust so they can buy the X-Men a little bit of time. As Sabretooth battles his former partner, he learns the location of the Infinite processing plant and sends Wildchild to the X-Men with this information. Meanwhile, Rex tells Apocalypse that he has located the base of Magneto and his X-Men, Charles Xavier's old mansion in Westchester County.
