Rover Wolverine and The X-Men

-'Previously...'

-You've made everything worse!

Polaris, no!

Oh, man.

I'm working on a way to undo what has been done.

Argh!

SHE GASPS

Destroy.

Rarrgh!

Target acquired.

Halt.

BROKEN ROBOTIC RAMBLINGS

Another head-shot, Rover(?)

Destroy.

Didn't we talk about this?

We wanted its vocal modulator, remember? That's in the head!

Destroy.

SHE SIGHS

-Don't worry about it.

-Marrow!

-Oh, hey, Bish.

Why are you bushwhacking Sentinels?

It's not the way to scavenge parts for Rover.

-You know, maybe that head-shot did us a favour.

-Are you listening to me?

Yes!

-Good.

-The chest lens isn't cracked!

That is always the first to go. Rover, twist it out of there.

Destroy.

Aren't X-Men supposed to listen to their leader?

-HE LAUGHS

-That girl is so bull-headed!

She's putting too much trust with that walking pile of wreckage.

Perhaps, but I can see why she's befriended him.

He listens to her.

-It's a robot, Charles.

-To us.

It's a little loose. You better not lean forward much till I can fix it.

Destroy.

-HE SIGHS

-Let's move it, Marrow!

Recovery Sentinels are probably on their way.

OK, just because you've seen me ignore Bishop doesn't mean you can.

Rover?

Destroy.

You need a watch, Summers.

Not when I've got you telling me where to go, when to be there.

Believe me, I haven't begun to tell you where to go.

Charles, you there?

'Can you hear me? Charles?'

Bishop, continue on ahead. I'll catch up.

All right. Be careful.

Yes, Logan. I hear you.

Scott. This is a surprise.

Has something happened?

You might say that.

Summers here had a little stroll down memory lane

and came across something pretty important.

It's...uh...about the explosion at the Institute.

I-I'm not sure, but...

Perhaps it's best if I just take a look myself.

SHE GROANS

Jean, what's wrong?

Aargh!

Jean was the cause!

No, you can't blame her! We don't know what happened.

No, we don't. Not yet.

But having seen that psychic fire before,

I fear Jean may have a larger role in our fates than I ever realised.

You saw it before? Where?

In the memories of Magneto's daughter, Lorna.

She's one of the few survivors here

who actually saw the sky that day 20 years ago.

There is little doubt it's what ravaged the world.

Are you saying Jean was the cause of the apocalypse, not the war?

There's no way that she...

What happened?

You and I need to speak privately.

OK. Go on.

I have only begun to understand the true depths of Jean's power.

However, Jean I know very well

and only in times of great stress does that power surface.

-What are you saying?

-The war, Logan.

I firmly believe it's what pushes her to lash out.

And I also believe that by stopping it you will stop Jean.

And if I can't?

Then she must become your focus.

What do you expect me to do?

Whatever is necessary.

-Why were we cut off?

-It's the way it goes.

-Now what?

-Me and the X-Men are gonna figure out how to save the world.

You're gonna figure out if you're joining us.

Shout...watch...the kids...run.

The kids run and shout. Say that, Rover. The kids run and...

Destroy.

SHE SIGHS

-Destroy.

-What?

-Destroy.

Destroy! Destroy! Destroy!

Lift me up!

MECHANICAL WHIRRING

MECHANICAL PURRING

SHE GASPS Quick, put me down!

Time for night-night, Rover. Go, go, go!

We got Trackers at the perimeter.

SHE GASPS

HE GRUNTS

Bishop, we're in lockdown. Where's Professor X?

Still on his way.

MECHANICAL HOWLING

MECHANICAL HOWLING

Aargh!

MECHANICAL PURRING

HE GRUNTS

I told you to be careful.

MECHANICAL HOWLING

-Where's Marrow?

-With Rover. She wouldn't leave him!

-Seal the entrance.

-But...

-Now!

(Destroy.)

DISTANT MECHANICAL HOWLS

ELECTRONIC BEEPING

(Destroy.)

SHE GASPS

They're gone.

SHE GASPS

-They must have followed YOU up here.

-Knock it off, Marrow.

Since he showed up, Master Mold has been gunning for him

and it's not fair to the rest of us. Why don't you just leave us alone?

THEY BOTH GRUNT

Get some distance, now.

SHE GRUMBLES

Well, to think I wondered why her only friend is a robot.

I do understand her feelings.

This is a world none of us should have to live in.

Speaking of which, you spoke to Wolverine. Is he making any headway?

He has delayed the war, but obviously he has not prevented it.

Now I fear the countdown to zero hour has already begun.

If only Logan knew the exact time,

the very moment the sky fills with fire.

-Perhaps that would help him prevent it.

-I have an idea.

ELECTRONIC BEEPING

-See it?

-You mean that detention centre?

It's not just any centre. It's the original.

The one Master Mold used to upgrade itself.

-And where it started rebuilding its Sentinels.

-Interesting.

But how does that help us?

Because last time I was inside,

I saw where Master Mold's old components were.

Including its data storage unit.

Of course.

It would possess a record of events dating back to...

To perhaps even its creation!

-I say we raid the place.

-Agreed.

But getting in is one thing. Bringing something out is another.

Not if we have a distraction.

It would have to be fairly large.

-Rover large enough?

-SHE GASPS

You can forget that right now.

Sarah, please, let us explain.

You actually want to send Rover in to fight five Sentinels?

-He can handle himself, I've seen it.

-Yeah, against one!

-It's too dangerous.

-That thing is not your pet, Marrow.

-No, he isn't.

He's one of us.

And his life is worth more than some crazy plan to help HIM!

I don't need your permission! Get it ready, we're leaving in ten!

-Sarah...

-If anything happens to him, I will hold YOU responsible.

I've got a line of sight through a window.

-I can teleport us in that way.

-Good.

Marrow, is Rover in position?

-Marrow!

-Yeah, we're ready.

-OK, Vanisher, let's do it.

This way.

Destroy.

THEY BREATHE HEAVILY

How long were you held here, Bishop?

Most of my life.

It's where I was born.

-Was this yours?

-I was just a kid and not much of a threat.

I didn't even get my powers until I was 14.

No, this cell belonged to a mutant the machines were afraid of.

Wolverine.

He was hunting Master Mold.

He got himself captured hoping to find it here.

Did he?

-Yep. Why do you think Master Mold needed a new body?

-Of course.

Even after Master Mold went into hiding, Wolverine kept coming back.

-Why?

-For me.

He saw that my parents were...gone.

He took care of you. For how long?

Ten years.

In that time, he taught me to be an X-Man.

Right under the Sentinel's noses. When I was ready, he broke me out.

This is it. Hellion?

MECHANICAL BANGING

MECHANICAL BEEPING

Huh, that's new.

Means we got about one minute. Marrow, better send Rover in.

Marrow?

'Marrow, answer me.'

Here it is.

-It doesn't appear Marrow is coming.

-Vanisher, can you teleport us?

Not without seeing our destination. We must move it outside, first.

-Then that's what we'll do.

-MECHANICAL BANGING

THEY GASP

Mutants identified.

Halt, mutant.

Targeting.

Stay behind me.

-Destroy?

-No, Rover.

You can't. You won't survive it!

You... You can't.

LARGE EXPLOSION

I'll draw their fire.

Mutant identified.

Halt, mutant.

Aargh!

Mutant detected.

Target acquired.

Retrieving and securing property.

SHE GASPS Rover!

BISHOP GRUNTS

Halt, mutant.

Vanisher, wake up! We need you!

Targeting.

Destroy.

I have it.

Mutant detected.

Targeting.

HE GROANS

HE CONTINUES GROANING

Rover, no!

Destroy.

Rover, get out of there!

Targeting.

SHE SCREAMS

ELECTRONIC BEEPING

Destroy!

Destroy!

Destroy!

(Rover!)

We must leave!

No!

We can't leave him!

Rover...

Run.

I have costly news, Logan.

Through great sacrifice,

we have discovered how much time you have left before the end.

-What are we looking at?

-A fiery tide will overtake the Earth

beginning at exactly 9.43pm.

Eight days from now.

Tell me it was worth it.

You know Wolverine as well as I.

Now that he's aware of the time-frame,

he'll make the hard choices.

Marrow was right about Rover. He was one of us.

He gave his all.

Like an X-Man.

Thank you, Rover.

Tell Master Mold I can lead him to Charles Xavier.
