Part 1: Last Testament of Scott Summers
Scott stares down a big chunk of ruby quartz and recounts the last two years leading up to this point.

Two years prior, instead of letting Wolverine charge in, he took the slow and steady approach. That gave Agent X-13 enough time to activate the Ghostbox. Scott blasted the sentinel coming out of the ghostbox. Agent X-13 was subdued by the others then blasted his own head off.

Weeks later, ghost boxes were opened all over the world, unleashing the sentinel units and wreaking havoc all over.

With that, it was just a matter of time when everyone gets killed off... except him.
"I'm not worth killing. Only good things are worth killing." Classic signs of survivor's guilt (the same condition Emma Frost felt when she was the sole survivor of the massacre of Genosha way back years ago). Blaming himself for basically failing the world, he put himself out of his misery...


Part 2: 4
Hisako aka Armor, Logan aka Wolverine, and Henry aka Beast, have been trudging slowly for the past year through the countryside towards, supposedly, for a way off the planet. They were following a lead: Kitty Pryde is back and is airlifting people out to safety. All they had to do is reach Kalispel in Montana.

Wolverine is in bad shape, the adamantium on his legs permanently bent. Henry is mentally ill, barely coherent and has the emotions of maybe a five year old. Only Hisako is the sane one left, and has a very dark disposition.

She believes it's a trap, despite Logan's insistence that it isn't. No signs of spacelaunch. Noone else going to Kalispel. All too quiet...

They finally reached Kalispel... or what used to be Kalispel. It was a trap. A trap that has already claimed the lives of everyone who arrived there before them. They see hundreds of skeletal remains surrounding a large crater.


Perhaps sensing their desperate situation, Hisako armor's up, and kills off both Logan and Henry. Without any food left, she knew it was only a matter of time before she too will be dead...
