Miles and the exhausted X-Men fought through Essex Corporation to free Clarice and the imprisoned Mutants, escaping through her portal just as Obadiah Apocalypse recovered. They reached the Roosevelt Island Bridge, but Obadiah pursued them with an army, and Madeleine faced him with blood-red eyes as a spade symbol appeared on his forehead.

• Miles and his companions battled their way through Chimeras, using controlled enemies to break past Juggernaut and Seraph while Madeleine's condition worsened.

• Charles told Miles that they had found Erik, and Miles used their telepathic link to give Clarice the sensations of Montana so she could open a portal there.
• Professor X, Charles Xavier, and Magneto, Erik Lehnsherr, emerged from Clarice’s enormous portal.

Magneto joined the battle against Obadiah and the Chimera Legion, but his reckless attack endangered civilians and reignited his conflict with Charles. Miles uncovered an ATHENA agent and a hidden scheme, while Obadiah seized Magneto after learning how weakened he was; Clarice rescued him just as Logan charged at Obadiah.

• Magneto tore apart the Roosevelt Island Bridge to stop the Chimera Legion, but Richter and Mona prevented the trapped civilians' cars from falling into the river.
• Aurora warned Miles about an approaching vehicle with a psychic shield, and Miles discovered Jennifer Garcia, the ATHENA agent codenamed Hummingbird, communicating with the military.

Miles searched for a way to save Madeleine and traced a hidden web linking her creator, Dr. Stasis, Obadiah, and the ATHENA Office. He left the Institute with a team to find Dr. Stasis, while Charles and Magneto confronted the threat of Project ATHENA and its worldwide Leech Towers.

• Miles learned that Madeleine had less than two days to live and suspected that Dr. Stasis might be the only person who could save her.
• Miles recognized connections among Madeleine, Dr. Stasis, Obadiah, Ritts Yoel, and Dr. Nathaniel, and sensed that a hidden figure might be manipulating them all.

Miles and his team infiltrated the Aegis Bioscience Research Center to recover data connected to Dr. Stasis, escaping after Charlotte’s possession and Aurora’s hacking exposed them. The data narrowed the search to one location: the Alameda Secret Research Center in California.

• Obadiah Apocalypse inserted Miles Zero’s genetic sample into the Gene Conduction Device in his underground laboratory.
• Miles’s team reached the Aegis Bioscience Research Center, where Charlotte used Astral Roaming to possess a soldier and infiltrate the facility.
• Miles and Aurora tricked Colonel Mitterrand into restarting the research center’s servers so Charlotte could copy its data onto a hard drive.
• Colonel Mitterrand and Adjutant Hack discovered Charlotte’s operation, but Laura, Prosta, and Miles helped her escape with the hard drive.
• Miles examined the data aboard the Blackbird and identified the Alameda Secret Research Center as the remaining lead connected to Dr. Stasis.

Miles met Dr. Stasis to learn how to save Madeleine, whose Phoenix Force threatened to consume her, and uncovered the Essex clones’ war and the origins of the schemes involving her. When Obadiah Apocalypse arrived at the lab, he killed Stasis with an energy beam while Miles held Madeleine.

• Miles brought Madeleine to meet Dr. Stasis, but she began losing control until Stasis injected her with a sedative and revealed his identity.
• Stasis explained that Madeleine was created as a weapon against Obadiah and offered Miles Phoenix Serum as a dangerous way to help her share the Phoenix Force’s burden.
• Stasis revealed that he, Obadiah, Ritts, and Nathaniel were four clones of Dr. Nathaniel Essex, and that their rivalries had driven the Apocalypse Plan, Project ATHENA, and Madeleine’s creation.

• Obadiah Apocalypse emerged and pierced Dr. Stasis’s chest with Cyclops’s energy beams, killing him as Miles tried to escape with Madeleine.

Miles and his allies rescued Madeleine from a Phoenix-fueled rampage, and Miles awakened a new power after entering her mind and sharing her black flames. He then continued investigating the hidden forces behind Project ATHENA and identified Christopher Lopez at Johnson Base, where Magneto had once been imprisoned.

• A nationwide electronic storm caused by Obadiah fused with Miles's electronic-signal ability shut down the academy's systems, and Charles traced the disturbance to him.
• Obadiah killed Dr. Stasis and confronted Miles at the Alameda Research Center, but he retreated when Madeleine awakened in a berserk Phoenix state.
• Miles injected the Phoenix Serum and, with Prosta's help, reached Madeleine through her mental world as Laura and Dani tried to hold back her storm.

• Aurora identified the mysterious man from Jennifer's memories as Christopher Lopez, a supervisor at Johnson Base, the place where Magneto had previously been imprisoned.

Miles linked Magneto’s escort route to the Vorgan Building, a genetic research office, and Nathaniel Essex’s Egyptian hospital, then tried to contact Charles as a frightening theory emerged. Meanwhile, Magneto brought Obadiah to Cerebro to find the Leech Factories and destroy Project ATHENA, leaving Charles injured outside the sealed Mind Control Room.

• Magneto asked Clarice to take him to the Essex base to speak with Obadiah.
• Miles controlled officers at Johnson Base and uncovered suspicious records about Christopher Lopez, General Rums, and the escort route that carried Magneto to the base.

• Magneto explained that he and Obadiah would use Cerebro to locate the Leech Factories and destroy Project ATHENA, despite Charles’s warning that it would expose Mutants worldwide.
• Obadiah blasted Charles aside and shut the Mind Control Room doors as he and Magneto entered.
