NARRATOR: Previously onX-Men...
MAN 1: Mutant lover!
MAN 2: Send out the muties, or we’ll burn them out!
I’m just an ordinary mutant!
I don’t have any special powers.
ALL: No more mutants! No more mutants!
Why do you hate us? What did we ever do to you?
You were born.
What do you think of your final resting place?
(SCREAMING)
When I’m through with you, your mind will never recover.
I’ll risk it.
I wouldn’t, if I were you.
(ROARING)
WOLVERINE: The X-Men can help you!
XAVIER: What is this place?
MAGNETO: It’s called the Savage Land.
Hold on!
We’re going to make it.
(BOTH SCREAMING)
(XAVIER COUGHING)
Wherever we are and whoever brought us here,
we’re not going to be able to leave the way we came.
(SCREECHING)
MAGNETO: I shall never understand you, Charles.
In what way?
Your life would be infinitely easier if mine were to end,
yet you saved me.
I do not yearn for an easy life, Magneto, only a just one.
I would take little satisfaction in your death.
Get to the other side of the geyser!
Keep the geyser between us!
What are you doing? Isn’t he angry enough already?
I don’t want him to leave!
What?
Patience, Charles. All things come to those who wait.
Come and get us, you overgrown lizard!
(ROARING)
I may not have my mutant powers, Charles,
but I shall not die easily.
(GENERAL SPEAKING IN RUSSIAN)
(ALARM SOUNDING)
(PEOPLE SHOUTING)
(GASPS)
(ALARM BLARING)
OMEGA RED: The leaders were weak.
They restrained me once and lost the empire.
Now they have brought me back,
a living weapon they once had grown to fear.
The empire shall live.
They shall not.
Where is she? Something has gone wrong!
Nothing has gone wrong, General.
Darkstar?
Omega Red has been released from his bondage.
The first stage of the takeover is complete.
The republic’s capital has fallen.
So it begins, comrades!
Soon these pathetic sovereign nations
will be returned where they belong, to Mother Russia.
We shall restore our beloved Soviet Union!
You say this is for the good of the people.
For this, you risk using a living weapon,
one you could not control before.
For the sake of my countrymen, I hope you are right.
JUBILEE: It’s bad enough being left behind,
but they never leave anything to eat!
What the heck?
"Destroy all Mutants"?
With the Friends of Humanity, who needs enemies?
(MEN LAUGHING)
STOREKEEPER: No! Don’t! Please!
(MEN LAUGHING)
We don’t want mutant lovers in our town,
so we’re moving you out!
MAN 1: Get out!
Try picking on someone your own size!
Ha! Like you?
Yeah. Like me!
(GRUNTS)
She’s a mutant! Get her!
(MEN SHOUTING)
(JUBILEE GROANS)
We’re gonna see you beg, mutant!
Did I hear you desire to see mutant?
We are to play catch?
MAN 1: Get me out of here.
MAN 2: Let’s get out of here!
You two are all right?
Thanks to my old pal, Colossus!
Lucky you happened to be passing by.
Not luck. I was on my way to your mansion.
I need the X-Men’s help.
No one’s home.
Where is Xavier?
We don’t know.
Cyclops is in charge now.
He’s in Washington, with Jean and Beast
testifying before Congress on the mutant question.
Terrible things are happening in my newly freed homeland.
My people are being driven from their homes
by armies led by an evil monster,
someone called Omega Red!
I know the X-Men will help you as soon as they return.
I cannot wait! My family, all my world is in danger.
I must go now, alone!
Not alone!
"Hi! Gone to Black Sea with Colossus to stop some guy named Omega Red.
"Dinner’s in the freezer. Have a nice day. Jubilee."
There! Let’s go kick some butt!
JUBILEE: Sit back and leave the driving to us!
I never knew you were a pilot.
JUBLIEE: Oops.
Hey! I’ve logged over 300 hours
in the simulator.
Look out!
(JUBILEE EXCLAIMS)
(HORN BLARING)
JUBILEE: The Professor keeps telling me I have great reflexes.
COLOSSUS: This was the capital of my country, so recently freed.
This is awful! All the people are gone!
I must find my family!
(PEOPLE SHOUTING)
PRESIDENT: We must resist!
Help must be on the way.
OMEGA RED: There will be no help!
PRESIDENT: You... You can’t come in here.
This Parliament is...
Officially dissolved!
(SHOUTING)
Your country no longer exists,
so it has no need for leaders.
DARKSTAR: Stop!
We were instructed only to exile the Parliament.
Instructed!
The people instruct me!
In this chaos of disunion, the people are frightened.
They demand a return to the iron hand of a true ruler!
My iron hand!
Oh, no!
Mother! Illyana!
This was your farm?
It was my home.
Life was hard, but we were a family.
(MAN SPEAKING RUSSIAN)
COLOSSUS: Illyana!
COLOSSUS: In those days, the government was suspicious
of any damage to their equipment.
Many were branded wreckers or disloyal.
I, a mutant, took the blame.
I left my home, my country,
rather than bring the wrath of the government upon my family.
Now look at this.
ILLYANA: Piotr!
Illyana!
Illyana, you are safe!
I hid when the soldiers came.
Why do they do this?
Do not fear, little sister. I will free our friends and our family!
I hope the guys got my note.
Omega Red.
ILLYANA: The soldiers brought our people here.
I will free them, now!
Piotr! Wait!
Give me back my family!
(GRUNTS)
(SOLDIERS SCREAMING)
I thought you might need some help.
OMEGA RED: Mutant!
Surrender or this one is finished!
COLOSSUS: Illyana!
No!
Fool! You cannot stop me!
WOLVERINE: I can, you stinking octopus.
Just like last time!
Wolverine!
I heard some fools thawed you out,
so I’m here to put you back on ice!
Let me reintroduce you to my coils!
Illyana? Are you all right?
Yes, Piotr. But you must help the one who saved me.
(SCREAMS)
You are weaker than ever, Wolverine.
You are too old for fighting.
Goodbye, little man.
Get everyone out of here. Now!
Illyana!
Mama! Papa! You are safe!
Let’s save the reunion for later. Come on.
I don’t need your help.
Of course not. But you are guest in my country.
It is good manners.
(GRUNTS)
They cannot prevent my nation’s destiny.
Thanks, kid. I’m okay now.
Wolverine, you know this madman?
I tangled with Omega Red before either of you were born.
The Soviets created him.
Red’s got his own plans for this country,
and worst of all, nothing hurts him.
COLOSSUS: You defeated him!
WOLVERINE: Slowed him down.
And I got lucky.
Then we will get lucky again!
(BLACKBIRDWHOOSHING)
JUBILEE: The Blackbird!
What kept you guys?
We’d have been here sooner, but someone trashed your note.
You left without permission, Jubilee.
You have endangered yourself and others.
But Colossus and his people need our help!
WOLVERINE: The kid’s right.
Omega Red’s trying to grab back all the countries the Soviet Union let go.
If we don’t stop him here, we might not get another chance.
OMEGA RED: It begins.
The rebirth of the greatest empire on Earth.
DARKSTAR: That is not what was promised!
The towns are in ruins. The inhabitants who survive have fled.
The general’s victory is hollow.
I fight for the empire they gave away!
The people cry out for order!
What have we let loose upon the world?
Follow me.
With the help of the X-Men, we will take back our country!
Colossus! Look out!
(PEOPLE SCREAMING)
(SOLDIERS SCREAMING)
COLOSSUS: Get out of my country!
ROGUE: Come on, fellas. Come out and be sociable.
Well, that’s more like it.
Who are you?
Darkstar. A pawn of the old general’s!
No longer.
I have seen what their ultimate weapon has done to our people.
Omega Red must be stopped.
Then let’s do it!
Whirlwind, deliver them!
(WIND WHOOSHING)
(SOLDIERS SCREAMING)
(GROANS)
Wolverine has brought allies.
(GAMBIT GRUNTS)
Let him go!
One mutant or 100,
they shall all bow before the great Soviet Empire.
Where’d you come from, you tin squid!
You are the strongest of Wolverine’s mutant friends.
I want you all to see that none are safe from my tentacles.
You’re mine, Red!
Forgot about my Carbonadium armor, didn’t you?
Well, you scratch my back, and I’ll scratch yours!
(WEAKLY) I won’t let you.
(GROANS)
Our country is through with empires, Omega Red.
(GROANING)
For 25 years they imprisoned me.
No!
They were right to fear me.
(GRUNTING) You will be stopped.
I cannot be. I shall not be.
Mutant! You command the winds. Do you also command the cold?
Yes.
The deepest cold held Omega Red prisoner.
Perhaps it can still stop him.
What?
No!
Forces of nature’s cold, freeze!
Witch!
Fools! When will you...
(OMEGA RED GRUNTING)
COLOSSUS: Storm! Your cold hurt him! Now! With all your strength!
Ice, winds, storms!
No, not again.
For another lifetime.
Do not stop! Take us both!
I shall not...
Be gone!
(GRUNTING)
Piotr! You’ve done it!
You’ve stopped him!
COLOSSUS: Yes, Illyana.
We are free.
For now.
Soon it will be as it was!
DARKSTAR: It will never again be as it was.
Your army has been defeated,
and your monster has been returned to the ice from which he came.
A new day has dawned. Your night of terror is over.
With Omega Red back on ice, why don’t you come back with us?
Thank you, my friend, but this is my home.
We must rebuild what Omega Red destroyed.
At least come and visit. I can fly you over.
Well, perhaps.
Piotr, is the terror really over?
Yes. Thanks to such friends as the X-Men.
