Cyclops and Wolverine inform Professor X of Emma's discovery.

Target acquired.
Halt.
(WHIRRING) Halt, halt...
Another headshot, Rover?
Destroy.
Didn't we just talk about this?
We wanted its vocal
modulator, remember?
That's in the head.
Destroy.
(SIGHS) Don't worry about it.
BISHOP: Marrow! Oh, hey, Bish.
Why are you still
bushwhacking Sentinels?
I told you, it's not the way
to scavenge parts for Rover.
You know, maybe that
headshot did us a favor.
What? Are you listening to me?
Yes! Good.
The chest lens isn't cracked.
That is always the first to go.
Rover, twist it out of there.
Destroy.
Aren't X-Men supposed
to listen to their leader?
(CHUCKLES)
That girl is so bullheaded.
She's putting way too much trust
into that walking pile of wreckage.
Perhaps, but I can see
why she's befriended him.
He listens to her.
It's a robot, Charles.
To us.
It's a little loose.
Better not lean forward
too much until I can fix it.
Destroy.
(SIGHS) Let's move it, Marrow.
Recovery Sentinels are
probably on their way.
Okay, just because you've seen me
ignore Bishop doesn't mean you can.
Rover!
Destroy.
You need a watch, Summers.
Not when I've got you telling
me where to go, when to be there.
Believe me, I haven't
begun to tell you where to go.
(DOOR SLIDES SHUT)
(BEEPING) Charles...
You there?
(FOOTSTEPS THUDDING)
WOLVERINE: Can
you hear me, Charles?
Bishop, continue on
ahead. I'll catch up.
All right, but be careful.
Yes, Logan. I hear you.
Scott, this is a surprise.
Has something happened?
You might say that.
Summers here had a little
stroll down memory lane
and came across
something pretty important.
It's, uh,
about the explosion
at the institute.
(STAMMERS) I'm not sure, but...
Perhaps it's best if I
just take a look myself.
(GRUNTING)
Jean, what's wrong?
(GRUNTS)
Jean was the cause.
CYCLOPS: No,
you can't blame her.
We don't know what happened.
No, we don't. Not yet.
But having seen that
psychic fire before,
I now fear Jean may have a larger
role in our fates than I ever realized.
You saw it before? Where?
In the memories of
Magneto's daughter Lorna.
She is one of the
few survivors here
who actually saw the
sky that day 20 years ago.
There is little doubt it's
what ravaged the world.
You're saying Jean was the cause
of the apocalypse, not the war?
There is no way that she...
(WHOOSHES)
What happened?
You and I need
to speak privately.
Okay. Go on.
I've only begun to understand
the true depths of Jean's power.
However, Jean, I know very well.
And only in times
of great stress
does that power surface.
What are you saying?
The war, Logan.
I firmly believe it's what
pushes her to lash out.
And I also believe
that by stopping it,
you will stop Jean.
And if I can't?
Then she must become your focus.
Charles, what do
you expect me to do?
Whatever is necessary.
Why were we cut off?
That's the way it
goes sometimes.
So now what?
Me and the X-Men are gonna
figure out how to save the world.
You're gonna figure
out if you're joining us.
"shout. Watch the kids run.
"The kids run and shout."
Say that, Rover.
The kids run and...
Destroy.
(GROANS)
Destroy. MARROW: What?
Destroy. Destroy,
destroy, destroy!
Lift me up.
(GROWLING) (WHIRRING)
(GASPS) Quick, put me down.
Time for night-night,
Rover. Go, go, go!
We've got trackers
at the perimeter!
(GASPS)
(GRUNTING)
Bishop, we're in lockdown.
Where's Professor X?
Still on his way.
(GRUNTS)
(SNARLING)
(SCREECHING)
(SCREECHING)
(GRUNTING)
(WHIRRING)
(GROANING)
(SCREECHING)
I told you to be careful.
(SCREECHING)
Where's Marrow?
With Rover. She
wouldn't leave him.
Seal the entrance. But...
Now!
Destroy.
(DISTANT SCREECHING)
(WHIRRING)
(BEEPING)
ROVER: Destroy.
(GASPS)
They're gone.
(GRUNTS)
They must have
followed you up here.
BISHOP: Knock it off, Marrow.
Ever since he showed up,
Mastermold has been gunning for him.
And it's not fair
to the rest of us.
Why don't you
just leave us alone?
(GRUNTS)
Get some distance now.
Well, and to think I wondered
why her only friend is a robot.
I do understand her feelings.
This is a world none of
us should have to live in.
Speaking of which,
you spoke to Wolverine.
Is he making any headway?
He has delayed the war.
But obviously, he
has not prevented it.
Now I fear the countdown to
zero hour has already begun.
If only Logan knew
the exact time,
the very moment
the sky fills with fire,
perhaps that would
help him prevent it.
I have an idea.
BISHOP: See it?
XAVIER: You mean
that detention center?
It's not just any
center, it's the original.
The one Mastermold
used to upgrade itself.
Where it started
rebuilding its Sentinels.
Interesting.
But how does that help us?
Because last time I was inside,
I saw where Mastermold's
old components were stashed,
including its data storage unit.
Of course.
It would possess a record
of events dating back to...
To perhaps even its creation.
BISHOP: I say we raid the place.
XAVIER: Agreed.
But getting in is one thing.
Bringing something
out is another.
Not if we have a distraction.
It would have to
be a fairly large one.
Rover large enough? (GASPS)
You can forget that
right now, Bishop.
Sarah, please. Let us explain.
You actually want to send
Rover in to fight five Sentinels?
He can handle
himself. I've seen it.
Yeah, against one.
It's too dangerous!
That thing is not
your pet, Marrow.
No, he isn't. He's one of us.
And his life is worth more than
some crazy plan to help him.
I don't need your permission.
Now go get it ready,
we're leaving in 10!
Sarah...
If anything happens to him,
I will hold you responsible.
I've got a line of sight
through a window.
I can teleport us in that way.
Good. (BEEPS)
Marrow, is Rover in position?
Marrow! MARROW: Yeah.
We're ready.
Okay, Vanisher, let's do it.
This way.
Destroy.
How long were you
held here, Bishop?
Most of my life.
It's where I was born.
(GASPS)
Was this yours?
I was just a kid and
not much of a threat.
I didn't even get my
powers until I was 14.
No, this cell belonged to a
mutant the machines were afraid of.
(GRUNTING)
XAVIER: Wolverine.
He was hunting Mastermold and got
himself captured, hoping to find it here.
Did he?
Yep.
Why do you think Mastermold
needed a new body?
Of course.
Even after Mastermold went into
hiding, Wolverine kept coming back.
Why? For me.
He saw that my
parents were gone.
He took care of you.
For how long?
Ten years.
In that time, he taught
me to be an X-Man
right under the
Sentinels' noses.
When I was ready,
he broke me out.
This is it. Hellion.
(ALARM BLARING)
Huh. That's new.
It means we got
about one minute.
Marrow, better send Rover in.
Marrow?
BISHOP: Marrow, answer me!
Here it is.
It doesn't appear
Marrow is coming.
Vanisher, can you teleport us?
Not without seeing
our destination.
We must move it outside, first.
Then that's what we'll do.
(DOOR OPENING) (GRUNTING)
Mutant identified.
Halt, mutant.
Targeting.
BISHOP: Stay behind me.
(EXPLOSION) Destroy?
No, Rover. You can't.
You won't survive it. You...
You can't.
I'll draw their fire.
Mutant identified.
Halt, mutant.
(GRUNTS)
Mutant detected.
Target acquired.
Retrieving and
securing property.
(GASPS) Rover!
Halt, mutant.
(GROANS)
Vanisher, wake up. We need you.
Targeting.
Destroy.
I have it.
Mutant detected.
Targeting.
(GRUNTING)
Rover! No!
(GROANS)
Destroy.
(GRUNTS)
MARROW: Rover! Get out of there!
Targeting.
(SCREAMS)
Destroy.
Destroy.
Destroy.
(SNARLING)
Rover.
We must leave.
No! We can't leave him!
Rover!
Run.
XAVIER: I have
costly news, Logan.
Through great sacrifice,
we have discovered how much
time you have left before the end.
What are we looking at?
A fiery tide will
overtake the Earth
beginning at exactly 9:43 p.m.,
eight days from now.
Tell me it was worth it.
You know Wolverine as well as I.
Now that he's aware of the time
frame, he'll make the hard choices.
Marrow was right about Rover.
He was one of us.
He gave his all...
Like an X-Man.
(CRYING)
Thank you, Rover.
(FOOTSTEPS THUDDING)
Tell Mastermold I can
lead him to Charles Xavier.
(GASPS)
Destroy.
