Title:

The Astonishing X-Men

Synopsis:
After damaging his Infinite processing plant, Blink goes toe to toe with Holocaust. Through some tricky maneuvering, Blink is able to best him and he ends up falling into a tank of genetic goo.

Elsewhere, the X-Men are beating the Infinites. Sunfire and Wild Child head off to save the human survivors. Wild Child distracts the Infinites, while Sunfire comes in for the kill. The humans are freed and they flee the area.

Back inside, Morph finds Blink, and he wants an update on the situation. While Blink explains, one of the vats explodes, and Holocaust is back for more. The three of them start fighting, and Holocaust takes the edge. All of a sudden, he writhes in pain. It turns out that Morph was actually Rogue who borrowed his power. She messes up Holocaust’s brain with her magnetic powers, and he is forced to let them both go. The actual Morph and the rest of the X-Men show up and they battle. When Rogue steps up, she starts winning, but is knocked out. Morph gets her to wake up by morphing into her son. She gets back up, and when Holocaust makes a comment about baby Charles, she belts him into next week. Before she can put the finishing touches, Holocaust teleports away, trying to take Rogue with him. However, Iceman shows up and uses his ice lasso to drag her back. She turns around and sees both Iceman and Sabretooth there. Blink is excited to see Victor again. They band together and Rogue states that the “Age of Apocalypse is over”.

At the stronghold in Manhattan, Apocalypse shows Magneto a glimpse of the fight between his X-Men and the Infinites. He assures Magneto that his people will be defeated.
