Magneto had been right. A war did come. A war that was still raging across the United States, pitting brother against brother, mother against child. A war that led to what Professor Xavier had hoped would never happen, and Erik Lehnsherr had always feared -- mutants made to register with the government, and carry papers at all times. Mutants herded off to internment camps for "re-education." Mutants hunted down and killed, simply for being different.

No one believed it would ever go that far; not until the day the troops arrived at the mansion on Greymalkin Lane. They attacked with unprecedented ferocity against citizens of the United States of America for these so-called enlightened times. So many were lost or killed. The X-Men were no more.

But some survived. This is their story.
