As his Horsemen cause chaos and destruction around the city, Apocalypse gloats.
Using their respective increased strength, Beast and Iceman break the team out of their shackles.
Apocalypse uses that to his advantage, tricking Cyclops then expelling him and Marvel Girl from his ship.
Both heroes try to get through to Famine and War but they do not listen.
Pestilence escaped them but clashes with the Power Pack (I won’t be reading the tie-in comic for that story).
Meanwhile, Iceman and Beast are trying to battle Apocalypse but once again are tricked into making things worse for the city.
The ship is now crashing through buildings!
After helping the heroes for whatever reason, Warren is teleported back to the ship along with the other Horsemen (except for Pestilence).
Cyclops and Marvel Girl also arrive back onto the damaged ship.
Hoping to finally get through to their once friend, Iceman tricks Warren into believing that Death had killed his friend.
It works, Warren instantly turning on Apocalypse.
Having lost his strongest Horseman, Apocalypse carries War and the traitorous Caliban away with him.
Funnily enough, the ship lands on X-Factor's old complex.
Then the reporters swarm.
Done with the lying, Cyclops reveals all.
He implores those watching that humans and mutants need to work together to defend against those who are only interested in power and domination.
Not sure what’s in store next issue, this being the double-sized issue and all…

Picked this issue up with no context after finding it in back issue boxes at a comic shop. Just my luck that it ended up being a great issue.
The team dynamics here are strong and there were some pretty good one liners about how they were raised to be soldiers, and how mutants should no longer hide themselves from the world or lie about their intentions just so other people can stomach them.
Also I can’t be certain but I like to imagine the woman and baby on the last page are Madelyne Pryor and Nathan. If so, this was a pretty pivotal issue for multiple reasons…

Pretty good, big action issue with high stakes and a major shake up of the status quo for X-Factor.
