When Eric Lensherr starts to use his team to destroy famous landmarks such as the Empire State Building. Charles Xavier and his mutants try to stop them, but they fail, and Charles is left paralyzed from the waist down. Meanwhile Logan and Eric start arguing about whether or not it's right to be doing this. Logan expresses that he wants equality, and he joined the team because of that but teams and originations like this don't want equality they want superiority. He tells Eric that all mutants ever wanted was acceptance and that being what humans think they are, isn't going to get them that. So, with all that Logan leaves and talks to Charles Xavier. Meanwhile Colossus is struggling with what he should do, he knows that what he is doing is wrong. General Ross hears Colossus talking about it and decides to let Colossus go. He tells Colossus to run and hide but Colossus instead tries to be a hero which ends up getting him attacked by Eric and his mutants, but Charles and his team save Colossus and fight Eric's team. The movie ends with a fight between Charle's team and Eric's team where Eric's team wins again. Scott ends up going out into the battlefield alone and tells Eric's team that they don't have to be Eric's puppets and that Eric only tells them these things about acceptance and free will to get them to do what he says. Rouge looks at her team and realizes she's on the wrong side and so she grabs Eric's arm, takes his powers, and traps them all under a bunch of trucks.
