"Look at this." "This is the area where unexplained happenings, thought to be mutant phenomenon, have occurred." "I circled the area." "At the center is a remote mountainous region." "Most likely the causes of the mutant detection interference and the secondary mutations are to be found there." "Yes, please check thoroughly ." "MAN:" "Yes, they are coming toward us again." "But not to worry." "We can handle them this time." "I also asked my guys to come, just in case." "But I hope you guys can handle the X-Men." "You bet we will." "The real part of the fight is from here, Professor X." "I can imagine the look of surprise on your face." "We've been expecting you." "Hisako!" "What are you wearing?" "Cool, isn't it?" "Welcome home, Hisako, it's so good to see you." "Thanks, Daddy." "Well , just look at you." "I almost didn't recognize you." "You look all grown up." "You look like another person." "Emma, thanks so much for looking after her." "For selecting her as a member of the X-Men, even though she's a trainee." "Oh, don't thank me, she did it all on her own." "She's the one who managed to survive the insane training that Cyclops and Wolverine put her through." "We threw everything at her but the kitchen sink." "And believe me, we've only scratched the surface of your daughter's potential" "She has grown up emotionally and developed consciousness as an X-Man." "She has a very bright future." "How can we ever thank you?" "Good for you, Hisako." "I get that I still have a lot to learn, but I'm determined to give it all I've got as a member of the X-Men." "To build bridges between humans and mutants." "I know you all must be tired after the long journey, but people who want the vaccine have assembled here." "By all means, let's get started." "Thank you." "Oh, by the way..." "What is it?" "Actually..." "While you were in New York, the fish in the river started dying and so did many of the trees." "We've had a number of strange occurrences in the area." "And there's a bridge in the mountains that's twisted like a pretzel" "HISAKO'S FATHER:" "People here are getting scared and think that mutants did these things." "CYCLOPS:" "I see." "We'll look into it right away." "Beast, go ahead and get started without us." "No problem ." "Storm and Wolverine, check out the river..." "The three of us will take a look at that bridge." "It should mitigate the symptoms you've been having." "Thank you, Doctor." "Wow," "although there are so many mutants in this one small area, it's peculiar that Cerebro didn't detect them." "HISAKO:" "Here's the next one, Dr. McCoy." "Excuse me." "This is what happened to my hand." "The second mutation..." "Doctor, is the vaccine effective even for this?" "At the very least, it won't get any worse." "Since when have you had this?" "I see." "This suddenly appeared about three months ago." "Yes." "Well , so far, this river looks fine to me." "I smell something rotten upstream... (SNIFFS) ...but there is something more..." "This smell is..." "STORM:" "Why is the river this color ?" "I don't know." "But something's definitely not right." "(EXCLAIMS)" "Yuck!" "Really makes me wish I didn't have these heightened senses!" "STORM:" "What is happening?" "What on earth is all this gas?" "HISAKO:" "Do you think people are right in assuming that mutants did this?" "EMMA:" "You cannot blame peopl for thinking that way." "Only Magneto is capabl of something like this." "But it cannot be him, he is locked up." "Anyway, it's much worse than we heard." "Hey, Cyclops, Beast told me that you have a big wound in your heart." "A wound you might never totally heal from?" "How did it happen?" "Hisako..." "Sometimes things happen that people would rather not talk about." "WOLVERINE:" "Depending on their ability, some mutants may be capabl of doing that to the bridge..." "STORM:" "But we cannot conclude that a mutant is responsible." "EMMA:" "The same thing goes for the gas fields." "In any case, there's something happening and we don't exactly know what it is." "What's more, people think mutants have done this." "(DOOR CREAKING)" "BEAST:" "Well , that's it for today." "You two ladies were an enormous help ." "Thank you both." "Any time!" "Totally." "I couldn't ask for a more charming pair of assistants." "We are charming, aren't we?" "We better go help with dinner now." "Come on, Kyoko!" "Don't push me!" "I've finished administering the anti-viral I vaccinated the mutants with signs of secondary mutations first." "But I didn't expect there to be so many..." "Some of them were on the verge of complete genetic degradation." "(BLEEPING) Surprisingly , all of them live here, in this circl where the mutant phenomena took place." "(ALL GASPING)" "also, they experienced secondary mutations these last several years." "It means that there is something triggering the mutations at the center of this area." "I suppose so." "CYCLOPS:" "All right, then." "We'll check tomorrow morning." "STORM:" "We're coming up on the target zone." "Emma, what is it?" "That noise!" "My head!" "How can you stand it?" "What noise?" "We don't hear anything, darling." "What the hell , Cyclops!" "What's going on?" "I don't know." "I've lost control!" "(INCESSANT BEEPING) Can't you do something?" "We've got an incoming missil I can't avoid it!" "Hang on, everyone!" "We're gonna take a hit!" "How's she doing?" "Whatever it is, it seems to be getting worse." "It seems to have started when we entered the center of the circle." "Then, it has something to do with..." "Darn it!" "What's going on?" "(LOUD HOWLING)" "Those weird noises?" "Is that what you heard earlier, Emma?" "Those weird noises?" "(GROANING)" "Emma?" "What on earth was that What happened to the X-Men?" "Really?" "Come on, Storm." "Can't you do something about that freaky snow?" "I could if it was the weather!" "That's not snow I've ever seen..." "Are you feeling any better, Emma?" "A little." "The noise has stopped." "There is something terribl happening in this area." "And it might be what's triggering the mutations." "Anyway, it's not safe to return to the Blackbird." "It might explode." "For now, we should leave." "WOLVERINE:" "The U-Men." "Again." "That's just great!" "Are you ready for round two?" "Stay back!" "I've got him!" "Right back at you, you one-eyed freak." "Catch!" "Cyclops." "Next up, the freak with Adamantium for bones..." "What the..." "(GROANING)" "There'll be nothing left but a puddl of molten metal!" "Wolverine!" "Oh, go fly a kite, weather witch!" "Wolverine!" "I'm comin' now." "Damn it." "But he must have a weak spot somewhere." "Hisako!" "I wasn't able to get much data on you two." "But I don't think I'll need much." "(GASPS)" "My telepathy isn't working!" "You little. .." "Hisako!" "Ouch!" "BEAST:" "The shield generator is in the top of the spinal column." "That's my target!" "I have only one, but it's all yours." "(GROWLING)" "(YELLING)" "Get back!" "I'll finish him off!" "(HISAKO SCREAMS)" "(GROANS)" "Damn you all ." "Is everyone okay?" "Sure." "Never better." "My shoulders are sore and stiff." "BEAST:" "What have we here?" "Some sort of mutant detector..." "CYCLOPS:" "A what?" "Looks like Cerebro." "I thought these devices could only be found among us." "What do you mean?" "We couldn't detect a mutant in this region." "(LAUGHING)" "There is a monster here, more dangerous than any other mutant." "(BEEPS)" "Gosh, we should get out of here!" "Even with all your powers, you cannot handle that monster." "(LAUGHING)" "(BEEPING CONTINUES)" "It's surprising the U-Men were developing the detection system by themselves and that they were searching for mutants." "Then it wasn't the U-Men, who interrupted the mutant detection." "WOLVERINE:" "Then who is responsibl" "(WIND HOWLING)" "(STRAINING)" "Hisako?" "Is she all right?" "Why don't you let Beast carry you?" "But don't fall asleep." "Otherwise, you will never get to see the Broadway musical" "Yeah, last time we didn't make it." "(BEAST LAUGHS)" "Smells like humans." "(ALL GASP)" "Over there." "(DOOR CREAKS OPEN)" "We're lost." "And we hoped you might let us come in and warm up?" "Of course." "Here you go." "A cup of tea ought to help warm you up." "Thank you." "Excuse me." "You're Dr. Sasaki." "Yes?" "Yui Sasaki?" "That's right, the Sasaki Academy." "Professor X was just asking me about you." "I couldn't remember very well , but you are Dr. Sasaki, aren't you?" "(CLEARS THROAT)" "I'm Hisako Ichiki, remember me?" "Little Hisako?" "It's incredibl Finding you way out here in the middle of nowhere!" "When I was littl I attended the Sasaki Academy." "The Sasaki Academy is a school for mutants." "Dr. Sasaki was headmistress there." "I don't know why I couldn't remember." "That's strange." "(HISAKO LAUGHING)" "HISAKO:" "In a building located deep in mountains, the X-Men encounter a woman, Yui Sasaki." "Emma senses that Yui is hiding something in the way she acts and speaks." "Meanwhil Dr. Sasaki contacts Professor X and gives him startling news." "Next time on X-Men.:" "Betrayal."
