Things weren't good with the teams -- Cable had taken over the New Mutants and rechristened them into the para-militaristic X-Force, X-Factor was co-opted by the U.S. Government, Colossus had just lost his brother Mikhail to suicide and the love lives of many of the X-Men were in disarray -- Psylocke was trying to break ComicBook/{{Cyclops}} and ComicBook/JeanGrey up, Gambit's estranged wife Belladonna returned into his life only to commit suicide and Wolverine was forced to kill his beloved Mariko after she was poisoned.
Then, suddenly, the X-Men are attacked by the new Four Horsemen of Apocalypse as Cyclops and Jean are kidnapped while Professor Xavier, attending a concert by Lila Cheney, is shot by... Cable?! Now, the X-Teams must find a way to save Xavier, rescue their friends and find out what's going on.

* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Stryfe shows a "baby" (really a robot) hooked to a system, saying that if Cyclops and Jean Grey kill it, they'll stop Stryfe. He assumes they'll do it easily...and instead watches in shock as they defend the baby from the robots Stryfe sends after them. Stryfe can't even speak with the narration summarizing his entire world view is being destroyed.

!!Tropes Associated with this storyline:

** The real Cable and X-Force are blamed for the events and they really didn't have a shining reputation before the story started.
