The X-Men fall into a large pit of water and are attacked by more soldiers underwater. Psylocke and Beast find an entry port and are able to drain the water away, but are seperated from their other teammates. Meanwhile, Rogue washes ashore and seeks out Tessa. The two of them track the Action Force to Los Torres De Serranos. Rogue breaks her way in to the complex and finds most of the soldiers killed by Vargas and his aides. Vargas proves to be too powerful for her and knocks her out. The Beast and Psylocke come to her rescue and both are beaten badly by Vargas who claims to be a true homo sapien superior. When Storm, Bishop and Thunderbird fight their way through guards to the scene, they find the seriously wounded Beast cradling the dead Psylocke.
