- The Extremists Part Four · 22 pages
Warpath and Hepzibah track down Masque and his crew in the Morlock tunnels but the battle goes badly for our heroes. Skids explains that a Morlock named Qwerty wrote a prophetic book concerning the fate of all mutants right before M-Day and a rift has developed in the underground dwellers as to the interpretation of the tome. She takes Storm and Caliban to meet Delphi and the pacifist Morlocks in an underground cathedral right before Masque blows it up and brings the house down. Xavier calls off his hunt for Magneto to come to Storm's aid.
- Endangered Species Chapter 10 · 8 pages
Bishop brings Beast to the heart of District X to talk to a drug dealer named Charlie Hustle who specializes in mutant growth hormone. Beast's hope of finding mutant genetic material to work with is crushed, however, when Hustle reveals that all of his drugs lost their power on M-Day just like the mutants they were taken from.
