War Begins!

Outside Cube Prison, alarms blared into the sky.

Hundreds of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents stood ready with the most advanced energy weapons in hand.

Agent Hill, the prison's director, watched the uninvited guests outside through a holographic screen.

Her face was ashen.

Had these Mutants gone mad today? Why had they gathered here all at once?!

Damn it!

Watching the X-Men draw ever closer, she took a deep breath.

"Scott!" Her voice rang across the entire battlefield through the loudspeakers.

"This is my final warning! Cease your illegal invasion immediately! Otherwise, we will take every necessary measure by force!"

Yet Scott's merciless crimson blast was the only response she received!

Boom!!!

The prison's outermost energy shield shattered instantly beneath the lingering force of extradimensional energy!

"I told you." Scott's voice was ice-cold.

"We came to take our people home. Either you open the doors yourselves, or we'll break in ourselves."

"Open fire!" Agent Hill gave the order without hesitation.

In an instant, dense energy beams poured toward X-Force like a torrential rain!

Yet Storm merely waved a hand lightly.

A barrier of raging wind and lightning appeared out of thin air, blocking every attack!

These attacks were far too weak for the X-Men and could not harm them in the slightest.

"How naive." Storm spoke disdainfully.

"You think these toys can stop us?"

The next second, Colossus's massive body charged straight toward the prison gates!

His fist carried overwhelming force as it smashed viciously into the gates forged from special alloy!

Rumble!!!

The entire prison shook violently!

Though the gates were not immediately destroyed, countless enormous cracks appeared across them!

"Open up!" Colossus roared, hammering them with one punch after another!

At the same time, the other members of X-Force clashed with the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents.

It was not an even battle, but
