Brief Description:
The Dark Beast opens a portal to the Age of Apocalypse, and accompanies Wolverine, Psylocke, Deadpool and Fantomex back to his home world, the Age of Apocalypse. There, they find a ruined world, polluted and destroyed, where humans are treated worse than animals by Master Akkaba soldiers. The Dark Beast locates his laboratory and finds the Life Seed - but this reality’s Nightcrawler teleports in, apparently the Dark Beast’s return was anticipated, and Nightcrawler takes the Life Seed, knowing it must be important. Wolverine becomes conflicted when he sees Nightcrawler, given his reality’s Nightcrawler recently died, but Wolverine knows they must get the Life Seed back. As he goes after Nightcrawler he is then attacked by this reality’s Sabretooth and Wild Child. Deadpool and Fantomex challenge Nightcrawler and regain the Life Seed, until Nightcrawler shoves his sword through Deadpool’s head and takes the Life Seed. Fantomex knocks it out of him, but it bounces towards Sunfire, who takes it and destroys it. Meanwhile, Psylocke prevents Wolverine from killing Sabretooth, as she knows this reality’s Sabretooth. Psylocke assures Wolverine that he nothing like the Sabretooth back on their Earth. With the Life Seed destroyed, the Dark Beasts opens a portal back to X-Force’s Earth, and escapes the Age of Apocalypse, leaving X-Force stranded. Though tensions run high, X-Force accompany Sabretooth, Nightcrawler and the others back to their undersea base to speak to their leader. Wolverine is still cut up about seeing Nightcrawler, and tells himself that only one other person could tear him up this bad - Jean Grey - and that is exactly who is Nightcrawler takes Wolverine to - Jean Grey…and Magneto!
