"Mutants; the Children of the Atom. Men and women granted power beyond measure. Mankind not understanding these gifts of evolution have chosen to meet them with persecution and death. There are those mutants that agree with the humans that this world is too small for both species and that one shall by necessity forever stricken from the face of the Earth. I believe in an alternative. A world wherein man and mutant coexist in peace. They’re providing a much needed balance to an all too fragile world. To that end, I have assembled those men and women willing to fight for that peace. To defend the world that fear is optional. To that end, I, Professor Charles Xavier, have assembled the X-Men."

"We believe the first step began with the retrieval of the Bastion unit. The prime unit Sentinels that were behind the events known as Zero Tolerance were adrift after the defeat of their leader Bastion. The prime Sentinel’s ability to morph into normal looking men and women allowed them to infiltrate the facility that Bastion was being held in and retrieved him. If the Bastion unit retrieved, it wasn’t long before the prime Sentinels returned to their primary function; a systematic eradication of all mutant life on Earth. Prior defeat at the hands of the X-Men no doubt dictated a radically different strategy from those employed in Zero Tolerance. Thus, very unusual alliances were formed."

"Excellent, team. You are definitely improving in your group maneuvers. Communication, improvisation, anticipation and trust. Well done, X-Men. Storm, Wolverine, Phoenix, Rogue. You are all just in time. For this next exercise, we will break you up into pairs. The idea of this exercise is to combat an opponent that places you at somewhat of a disadvantage. To claim victory, you have to improvise, adapt and eventually overcome."

"Cain. X-Men, we are under attack."

"For a better tomorrow."

"Heart is what wins battles."

"Plasma core charged."

"Cannon primed."
