They come under artillery fire from a sniper, who turns out to be Deadpool, somehow still alive after X-Force Cable: Messiah War. Deadpool agrees to accompany them X-Force Cable: Messiah War Westchester to find Cable. During their trek, they happen upon Cable and Hope. Cable scolds them for foolishly following him to this era. Meanwhile, in a future not far beyond the present, Bishop meets with Stryfe in a bar and convinces him to help kill Cable—in exchange for helping Stryfe get Apocalypse. The mutants didn't realize the worst was still to come. With mutantkind on the brink of extinction, their enemies saw their opportunity to end them once and for all. They were hunted down and attacked from all sides. It was the children, however, who suffered most. The X-Force Cable: Messiah War Institute lost dozens of students in a single ambush, the worst attack in its history. Unbelievably, it was just the beginning of the killing, and with each life taken, hope faded for the survival of their species. Then, a new mutant was born—the first in what seemed like forever. Unfortunately, her birth did not go unnoticed. The past. Cooperstown Hospital, Alaska… In the Cooperstown Hospital's infant care unit, a pleasant-looking nurse makes her rounds over the new deliveries as usual. A group of men bearing assault weapons and wearing crimson robes adorned with Christian imagery storms into the nursery. X-Force Cable: Messiah War men, members of the Purifiers, fire several rounds into the nurse's back. She falls to X-Force Cable: Messiah War ground, leaving fingerprints of blood on the baby's plastic crib as the life spills out of her. The Purifiers have waged Holy War on mutantkind. During their twisted crusade, they acquired a sentient machine that allowed them to peer into the future. What they saw scared them; scared them enough, in fact, to lay siege to an entire hospital, killing every man, woman and newborn child inside it. The X-Men are still fifteen minutes out when the Purifiers attack. There is no X-Force Cable: Messiah War for them to reach the hospital in time. As it turns out, however, the Purifiers are not the only ones who have seen the future. While one of the Purifiers torches the nursery X-Force Cable: Messiah War a flamethrower, a bullet pierces the back of his neck. He drops to the floor. A tall, white-haired man emerges in the room. He scoops red-haired infant X-Force Cable: Messiah War his biomechanical arm—the one not holding an assault rifle. The baby girl looks at her savior and smiles. Nathan Christopher Summers—the mutant known as Cable—looks back at her, his face devoid of expression. Las Vegas. The man, sipping his drink, tells Bishop that was a mistake; now he will have to kill him—just like he killed all the others. He refers, of course, to the other patrons of the bar, all of whom lie slumped over dead, their faces frozen in a final expression of horror. Bishop tells him he will not kill him because he can give him what he wants: the only thing he has ever wanted. The present Cyclops recalls how the baby was their last hope for survival. It was their sole mission to save her—a mission they failed, because it was, in fact, Cable who saved her. The X-Men fought those wanted control over the baby, as well as the monster that wanted to consume her. Together, those two ensured their future while the X-Men fended off the most visible threats. They failed to realize, however, that the greatest danger would come from one of their own. The near future. He explains that Cable has gone rogue, lost his mind, and done some terrible things. He already escaped into the future. Because of the nature of time travel, Cable should have come back the next day, if not the next instant. Cyclops has no idea where Cable has been. He has no idea Cable initially jumped ahead to on Muir Island. He has no idea Cable traveled to the desolate wasteland of the United States in X- Force Cable: Messiah War He has X-Force Cable: Messiah War idea a mutated bear nearly ate Hope in He has no idea that Cable and Hope spent two years in a place called New Liberty, where they lived an idyllic lifestyle as farmers. All Cyclops knows for sure is that he gambled with the future of mutantkind. He made a bet X-Force Cable: Messiah War faith—faith that his son would bring Hope back to them. Only later did he find out that Bishop was chasing after them through time. Cyclops now believes he doomed X-Force Cable: Messiah War and the baby simply by allowing them to leave. He recalls the time Bishop returned to the present for equipment and information. Bishop, he explains, sees the baby as a harbinger of his future—a future in which mutants are held in concentration camps, branded, and sent to slaughter like animals. Bishop believes with absolute conviction that the mutant baby would lead to the end of mutantkind. In his mind, the baby has to die—no matter what. Bishop will do anything to prevent the holocaust of his future. He has already turned against the X-Men and nearly killed Professor Xavier. The X-Men even captured him once, but he escaped. Cyclops knows he is out there right now, trying to kill Cable and the child. Because Bishop is willing to do X-Force Cable: Messiah War it takes to accomplish his mission, Cyclops believes he and the X-Men must do the same. That is why he gave Wolverine the order to find Bishop, and, when the time comes, do what he does best. He turned on everyone. Cable, Bishop claims, is obsessed with this, but no one believes him or the lengths to which he is willing to go. The mysterious man asks Bishop how he intends to find Cable, since he could conceivably be anywhere. Not anywhere, Bishop answers. According to Bishop, Cable has killed most of the world in his madness: Australia, —multiple nuclear strikes; China, —civil war and bio-weapons; Europe, —poisoned water supply and plague; South America, —ongoing chemical fires. Now, there is only one place left for him to go, Bishop says. Now… Dr. Cyclops cannot believe Cable has traveled so far into the future. Based off what Bishop said while in captivity, Cyclops imagines Cable is heading to the remnants of the X-Mansion Westchester. He asks Beast how much time they have. Cyclops gets on his communication unit and informs Logan they found Cable. Beast folds his arms. He now knows one of the people whom Cyclops intends to send—Logan—but reminds him he made seven time-travel devices. Who are the others? Cyclops ignores the question. Again, Cyclops ignores him and continues talking with Wolverine. Their mission is to save mutantkind, he shouts over his com-link! Frustrated, Beast snarls. Cyclops tells Logan nothing else can take priority—not even their current mission. He finally turns to Beast and tells him to push the button. Beast hesitates, so Cyclops pushes it for him. When the sky finally grows dark, a flurry of electric activity erupts, localized entirely at the intersection of two streets. Archangel, X, Domino, Warpath, Elixir, Vanisher and Wolverine—the members of X-Force—emerge amidst a brilliant flash of white light already in fighting posture, as if they were ripped from the middle of a battle. Wolverine hits the ground and plunges one of his claws into the asphalt. I told you to wait!! He vows to kill Cyclops next time he sees him. Domino casually holsters her guns, accurately presuming they X-Force Cable: Messiah War traveled through time. Josh Foley, the golden-skinned mutant known as Elixir, looks around in confusion. They have to go back, he says! Deciding he wants to go back and save them, he rips the time-travel device off his upper-arm. Removing it should return him to the correct time period. Instead, it does nothing. Elixir looks around, X-Force Cable: Messiah War. Archangel, still in the air, supposes that means Cyclops was wrong. He looks up and sees an assortment of colors in the sky.
