the back. Paige poses as a slavegirl to Quietus, a High Foreman at

in the process. The fight is on! The kids find Mondo and
are attacked by the Sugar Man once again until Colossus

now under seige by all of the humans rebelling against the
mutants and there's no other way out. They charge through the
core and the mutants, Paige, Chamber, Skin, Vincente are left
looking out of the massacre as Colossus,Shadowcat and Illyana
soar out of the compound. As soon as the three of them are

but they have paid with their lives......
