The X-Men have a lunch meeting with the parents of "Jean Grey" (she's actually Madelyne Pryor) in the X-Mansion. Then, Mr Grey notices that something is wrong with the TV and before Rogue could warn them, the explosion happens. The crackling TV and explosion is caused by none other than Siena Blaze, Hazard and the Marauders who came to the X-Mansion lawn for a rematch. The X-Men fight the villains while Beast and "Jean Grey" help to evacuate the parents out of the mansion. While everyone else are fighting, Wolverine notices that Sabretooth is not with the Marauders. It turns out that Sabretooth is in Sinister's lab, sitting out from the fight because he is waiting for Siena, Hazard and the Marauders to weaken the X-Men so that he could finish Wolverine or any X-Men off if he has the chance.
Back to the mansion, the fight is too evenly-matched for the X-Men and the foes. Once the civilians are evacuated; Beast and "Jean Grey" join in the fight to help the X-Men. As Arclight creates an earthquake to throw Morph, Harpoon, Wolverine and Cyclops off, Cyclops notices the underground pipe and tells the X-Men to knock out Arclight before she makes a gas explosion. Arclight gloats until she gets telepathically knocked out by "Jean Grey". However, "Jean" nearly collapses from overexerting her telepathy because of her pregnancy. The X-Men eventually work together and they switch their opponents. Jubilee switches from fighting Prism to fighting Hazard. Wolverine defeats Prism by using his claws because physical attacks are Prism's weakness. Bishop shoots Harpoon down after switching from Hazard. Rogue partially absorbs Gambit's explosive powers and moves in to pounce on Siena Blaze and scares her by threatening to blow her up. Jubilee, Morph and Storm work together to defeat Hazard. Since Riptide is too distracted by Beast, Gambit manages to knock out the Marauder from behind. Cyclops uses his optic blast to knock down Arclight.
