X-Men

The Formerly-Dead X-Men (consisting of Frenzy, Cannonball, Jubilee, Dazzler and Prodigy) land into a timeline where it was it had the worst kind of robot attack by the Ultrons - both regular-size and giant-size like Sentinels. Frenzy notes that Prodigy must be in agony being around all these minds but though he doesn't know why he feels fine and his powers are completely under control. It's possible the shard in his chest is alleviating the symptoms of his unlocked powers. Jubilee is like that's reassuring and super ominous at the same time. They are almost crushed by the foot of an Ultron-Sentinel but Frenzy and Sam work together to take it out. Prodigy absorbed so much from Cyborg-Moira that he's not sure what timeline they're in so he runs towards a newsstand. He learns from a newspaper that Simon Trask was killed and immediately knows where/when they are. Even though AU Moira MacTaggert did kill the AU Trask family in the timeline, it did not stop anyone from producing mutant-hunting robots.

Then, the group hear the mental voice that sounded like a distress call and Jubilee notes that it wasn't Rachel Summers, it was someone else. The Formerly-Dead X-Men find that the person responsible for the mental distress call was AU Emma Frost. They find this reality's Emma, bloodied and holding one of her students who is unconscious (or dead). Emma starts to collapse and Jubilee breaks her fall, holding her. She asks Emma what happened who is starting to turn diamond for the first time. She's weak and doesn't recognize them. Prodigy says the only impressions he's picking up from her are of the Massachusetts Academy. Jubilee tends to her and asks her what they're up against. Dazzler is concerned they're already changing too much of the timeline by intervening. Emma says she'll show them what has happened.

They find out that AU Emma was present in the meeting with AU Henry Gyrich and AU Hank Pym discussing about the human-and-mutant relations which had gotten worse since the assassination of Trask family. AU Hank Pym wasn't sure about using Ultron as a new forms of Sentinels. AU Emma was against the idea while Henry Gyrich the mutant hater has vouched for the Ultron-Sentinel idea. Unfortunately, the meeting is cut short when Cyborg-Moira appears out of nowhere to kill Henry Gyrich and this prompts the Ultron-Sentinels to attack anyone in its path. The Formerly-Dead X-Men recognize her from AU Emma's telepathic projection but don't understand how she got to this timeline. Frenzy asks Prodigy to scan his mind to see if this happened before in any of Moira's lives and he sadly says no, that Cyborg-Moira just changed everything and he feels it's all their fault for changing the path to begin with. Jubilee cries as AU Emma dies in her arms. The Formerly-Dead X-Men vow that they must find Moira MacTaggert and stop her at all costs.
