As I was tracking Stryker and Shego but I could hear only one pair of footsteps ahead of me heading towards an escape tunnel. I had to make sure to stay silent so that whoever footsteps they were would not notice it was me behind them.

As I reached outside from the escape tunnel, I saw Stryker hop onto the helicopter trying to escape. I ran to the helicopter and grabbed him throwing him out of it onto the snowy ground. Stryker screamed as I held my gun at him not realizing that Logan was next to me with his claws out. Then all of a sudden Logan and I started to fall onto our knees on the ground clutching our heads. Stryker sat up with a grin.
"Wolverine, Lt. Drake." Stryker started to say as Logan weakly grabbed Stryker's leg. "How does your head's feel? Like there's someone else inside?" He asked. Logan and I tried to scream, but couldn't. He tried to extend his claws, but they only push out an inch and retracted back in. "Mortality's never really been an issue for you Wolverine. How's it feel to know that you're finally dying?" Stryker asked as he kicked Logan and I in the face. Logan rolled away from him while holding his head as Stryker kept kicking me.
"Why did you come back? Looking for answers?" Stryker asked Logan. "You cut me open and took my life." Logan said. "You make it sound as though I stole something from you. As I recall, it was you who volunteered for the program." Stryker said to Logan. "WHO AM I?" Logan asked Stryker. "You're just a failed experiment. You should be thanking me. If you really knew about your past. What kind of person you were you'd be destroyed." Stryker said as I watched him while clutching onto my throbbing head screaming in pain.
3rd Pov
Magneto and Mystique stare in awe as they approached the massive rotating sphere of the dark Cerebro that was now spinning at full speed with red lights emanating from within. The throbbing sound deafening as Mystique falls to the ground in pain. "Erik.... Hurry." She told him as she could barely control herself shifting into the hundreds of people that she has copied in her life. Magneto lifts a hand as there was a loud groan like the scratching of metal on metal, dark Cerebro begins to slowly stop. Xavier, catatonically stares at 143. Above them the red lights start to get brighter.
At the same time in the Filtration Room
Jean and Cyclopes lay on the ground in pain.
At the same time in the X-Jet
Laying on the jet floor Rogue and Bobby are too weak to move.
At the same time in the Containment Hall
Storm is on the ground, screaming as her eyes started turning white. Next to her Nightcrawler and the rest of the children writhe in agony.
At the same time in the Woods
Laying on the snowy forest ground lays Pyro crying as his fingers pulsed red.
At the same time in the Forest Helipad
Laying on the snowy ground lays Logan and Athena as her body starts to pulse red as they hold their heads against the ground, while Stryker turns and walks back towards the helicopter.
At the same time in the Escape Tunnel
Laying on the cold hard cement lays Remy holding his throbbing head while grunting in pain while his body starts to pulse with the energy that is stored inside of him.
At the same time in the Hallway Outside of Dark Cerebro
Magneto concentrates as his hands tremble. The dark Cerebro continues to screech, slowing down and after a few more seconds the giant sphere finally grinds to a halt. The sounds suddenly stops as silence rose in the air for the mutants that were affected by it. Laying on the ground Mystique stops transforming with her eyes wide frozen like a dead woman's eyes. She suddenly blinks and sits up as Magneto waves his hands soon the door opens up into the large room of Dark Cerebro. Magneto sees Xavier facing 143, still trapped in the illusion.
"Hello, Charles." Magneto greets with a small smirk on his face.
Athena's Pov
As soon as the hurting pain in my head stopped I realized that my body was pulsing red which will calm down as I breathed deeply and slowly. I slowly got up and turned my head and saw Remy coming toward Logan and I. I blew a sigh of relief that he was ok and turned my attention to Logan to see if he was good and luckily for him he was.

Logan, Remy, and I's attention turn towards the noise of a helicopter door opening. I turn my head giving Logan a nod of understanding on what he was thinking as he shot up like a bat out of hell and took off towards Stryker. Gambit an I went back through the escape tunnel to get back to the others. All of a sudden an explosion shook the entire base and at this moment I knew that we were in deep trouble. Gambit and I sprinted down the hallway to find the others fast before anything bad could happen.

As soon as we were getting closer to the others someone from my past came out of the shadows and was blocking mine and Remy's way.
