(THEME MUSIC PLAYING)
MASTERMIND: No interruptions, now.
Not if you value your friends' lives.
(ALL GRUNTING)
(MASTERMIND LAUGHING)
You just sit back and watch.
Try and resist any heroic urges.
(WHIMPERING)
(GROANING IN PAIN)
Bad headache?
(GROANING)
Now, then, gentlemen,
if I could have your undivided attention.
(SCREAMING IN PAIN)
Don't even try it, X-Man.
I'm afraid your friends will have to manage
on their own this time.
(SCREAMING IN PAIN)
My hand is starting to hurt again,
just like before.
Takeo, can you hear me?
Takeo!
My baby.
(CRYING)
(GASPING)
Takeo. I remember you now!
EMMA: What are you saying, Hisako?
You know this boy?
He was at Sasaki Academy.
We used to play together all the time.
He was one of my closest friends there.
Takeo, don't!
If you release your powers,
the entire world could be destroyed!
It would be the end of everything!
(GROANING)
CYCLOPS: What are you talking about?
How can he destroy the world?
(LAUGHING)
Takeo's power is strong enough
to warp and twist the fabric of reality itself.
CYCLOPS: You're out of your mind. Look at him.
MASTERMIND: Please. What do you think caused
all the mutant manifestations around here?
-That's insane. -Is it?
You move a few strands of DNA around, and voila,
a lonely little boy gets some special friends.
(SCREAMING)
Leave Takeo alone!
What are you doing to him? Can't you see he's in agony?
Yes.
He's fallen prey to my illusion.
How could you do this to him?
If the pain is more than you're able to bear, boy,
break free of it.
Destroy everything around you, and your suffering will end.
(GLASS SHATTERING)
(CRASHING)
YUI: No! Please, you can't!
HISAKO: Why is this so familiar?
I... I remember.
I remember her crying.
The other kids were always ganging up on him.
(YOUNG HISAKO LAUGHING)
BOY: Look, the only ones left are Hisako and Takeo!
GIRL: Let's get 'em!
(GASPING)
HISAKO: It was their bullying that led to the accident.
(SCREAMING)
(GASPING)
The fire spread to the surrounding neighborhood.
Takeo disappeared after that.
We never saw him again.
(CRYING) I...
I...
(CRYING) Takeo.
Everyone was so heartbroken.
It was terrible. The town was in tears over it.
I can't believe I forgot about that day.
Omega-class telepaths have...
Have the ability to alter a person's memories.
-(HISAKO GASPING) -Of course.
Like father, like son, it would seem.
Takeo erased my memory?
YUI: I made him do it.
With everything that happened,
I was afraid someone would take him from me,
or worse.
So I told him he had to make them all forget.
HISAKO: It must have been so hard for him,
hurting his friends like that.
He didn't even know what he was doing.
And because of it,
Takeo had to scrub his entire existence out of our memory.
YUI: I decided to close the academy after that.
I thought the best thing to do was to isolate him,
at least until I could understand
his powers more fully.
I...
I was only trying to protect my son.
Why didn't you contact Xavier?
You didn't think he had a right
to know about all this?
I should have, I know.
But after everything that happened,
I just couldn't face him.
I failed Takeo.
And I failed myself.
(EMMA SIGHS)
(GROANING)
(SCREAMING)
MASTERMIND: I think that's enough therapy for today.
AUTOMATED VOICE: Altitude 2,000 meters and falling.
JEAN: Charles.
Your students are in danger.
They need you.
Where there's life, there's hope.
Charles!
AUTOMATED VOICE: Altitude 1,800 meters.
Was that really her, or just a dream?
Not that it matters.
Real or not, I need to survive this somehow.
My team needs me.
(SCREAMING)
(GRUNTING)
No, Takeo! You mustn't release your power!
It would be such a pity, though.
A power so magnificent should be shared with the world.
Well done, lad, truly!
Now this is Omega-class.
I don't imagine I'll have
the same problems I did last time.
HISAKO: He's not getting away with this.
Takeo did hurt the people around him that day,
but it was nothing
compared to the pain he's had to suffer.
He's been totally alone all because of his power.
(MASTERMIND LAUGHING)
If you think you're going to abuse that power,
think again!
(SNARLING)
(GRUNTING)
(GROANING)
You're dead!
Do you hear me? You're dead!
(YELLING)
(MARSH GRUNTING)
(SCREAMING)
Useless good-for-nothing!
New kid's doing all the work.
We can't lay around all day, Hank.
It's time for the vets to start pulling their weight.
Yes, I concur, but...
We'll need to do something
about his sensory amplification.
Our nervous systems can't take much more of this.
-Takeo! -No!
Hisako, stay out of the way.
This guy's mine.
But, Cyclops...
Well, this should be interesting.
Get down!
What?
Oh, my God.
Where?
Where am I?
What?
No.
No!
Everybody's...
What happened?
Jean?
(JEAN SOBBING)
Oh.
It can't be you.
Jean.
What have you done?
Jean.
What is all of this?
What happened to everybody? How did this...
It's all your fault.
How is this my fault?
You failed me.
If only you'd saved me,
none of this would have happened.
I tried.
I really did.
JEAN: This is the future of mutantkind,
the one you set in motion.
This can't be.
Their blood is on your hands.
HISAKO: Is he okay?
No. Look at him.
He's under Mastermind's control.
STORM: Emma, try to break through to him!
I can't, not in diamond form!
My telepathic powers won't function!
And if I revert back to normal,
Mastermind could harness my power
and turn it on us all.
He could create an illusion even more powerful.
Very astute, Emma. So clever.
Then we'll just have to take you out of the equation!
What the heck?
(WHOOSHING)
(GASPING)
(GROANING) Takeo.
(SCREAMING)
You okay, Emma?
For the time being.
This is the future.
Because of me.
JEAN: Yes, it's your fault.
CYCLOPS: No.
JEAN: (ECHOING) You brought this to pass.
Stop it!
I say good. All right, Hank.
As soon as this meathead zaps us again,
I want you to hit me as hard as you can.
And keep hitting!
BEAST: What are you talking about?
Look, we don't have all day here.
I'm cutting this short.
You want full throttle, you got it, pal.
But, Logan, if you do that, then...
Just do as I say!
Hey, tough guy, is that all you got?
I don't know what you're thinking, boy,
but it's your funeral!
Do it now, McCoy!
(GRUNTING)
(YELLING)
Are you all right?
I told you to keep hitting me!
(SIGHING)
(PUNCHING)
(GRUNTS AND GROANS)
Have you had enough yet?
(LOGAN GRUNTING)
Huh?
(SNARLING)
(GROWLING)
(YELLING)
-Huh? -What?
(ROARING)
Just die already!
Now!
He's lost in some kind of berserker rage,
and now he can't feel the pain anymore!
Come on, you little freak!
What the hell are you?
(SLICING)
(GASPING)
My stars.
Stop!
Wolverine, that's enough now!
Wolverine!
Wolverine, snap out of it!
Logan!
Gotcha!
Great Scott! Are you out of your mind, Logan?
You nearly sent me into cardiac arrest, you lug.
I think that shaved about two years off of my life.
Don't sweat it,
I think the joke's actually on me.
(GROANING)
Guess that took a little more out of me than I thought.
(BEAST CHUCKLING)
I hate to be the bearer of bad news,
but none of you X-Men will be leaving alive.
Why don't we start with your fearless leader?
STORM: Cyclops! Snap out of it!
EMMA: Cyclops!
JEAN: The future that you have chosen is full of despair!
And now it is time for you to share it!
(BOULDERS SMASHING)
Huh?
Jean?
You?
Who are you?
Jean, it's you!
I knew you'd come back.
You need to move on.
I can't, Jean.
I won't let you go again!
You're stronger than you know.
Cyclops, don't listen to her!
What do I do? I need you, Jean!
Trust yourself.
No, Cyclops. Don't leave me!
Don't leave me! Please don't go!
Hurry, my love. You know what to do.
I need you! Please!
Jean. Jean!
Don't leave me. I'm warning you.
Let me go. It's time.
Goodbye.
(GRUNTING)
-Cyclops broke through! -Yeah!
How could you have dispelled my illusion?
I had a little help.
You were always there for me, Jean.
You were always there when I needed you.
And come what may,
I will always carry a part of you with me.
But I can't let my guilt weigh me down
any more than it already has.
I didn't die that day.
I need to stop acting like I did.
I'm responsible for leading a whole team,
and right now they need me.
Breaking my illusion is hardly cause to celebrate.
I still control Takeo, so this game is far from over.
(ALL GASPING)
What is this?
You little wretch! All of your power is mine now!
Do you hear me?
No, stop!
(MASTERMIND SCREAMING)
(GLASS CRACKING)
Huh?
(GLASS SHATTERING)
Takeo!
No, stay back!
CYCLOPS: It's collapsing! We gotta go!
What on Earth...
AUTOMATED VOICE: Warning, unidentified turbulence ahead.
Must keep going...
(ELECTRICITY CRACKLING)
BEAST: If Takeo's reality distortion field
keeps spreading like this...
EMMA: It could be... the end of the world.
WOLVERINE: Ain't happening. We take him down right now.
We're going to attack him?
No, you can't! Please don't hurt Takeo!
If we don't do something,
think how many more will be killed.
You think your son would really want that?
The boy has suffered enough.
You know what needs to be done!
(SOBBING)
The... The sky!
HISAKO: What's going on? Did he...
CYCLOPS: His power's spinning out of control.
He's gonna rip this world apart.
(SOBBING)
WOLVERINE: You know what we gotta do, Cyc.
It's time to take him out.
EMMA: We have to do something.
CYCLOPS: It's now or never. Fan out!
I can't do it. He's my friend!
Then just stay back with the doctor.
(HOWLING)
(GROANING)
(ALL GROANING)
(GROANING) My mind!
(EXPLODING)
Charles, you're here!
STORM: The world is hurtling towards its demise,
and the X-Men are powerless to stop it.
One by one they are defeated.
In a cruel twist of fate,
a father is pitted against his son.
How will it end?
And what will come of the future?
Next time on X-Men... "Destiny."
