Xavier has a vivid illusion of being attacked by an Omega Sentinel. Hub, Hack and Purge teleport aboard a plane full of Genoshan Magistrates who have an Omega Sentinel and a powerful mutant loaded into missile tubes aimed at Genosha. They are detected and have to battle the Magistrates but the plane is damaged and goes down during the fight. The missile tubes fall into the ocean and Xavier and Magneto jump in after them. The Magistrates paratroop down to the island with guns blazing.
