[Xavier] Previously on X-Men: Evolution...
Why use someone else to break in?
[Xavier] Because that’s what he does.
He manipulates others just as he did with Jean
in order to steal those rings.
Mesmero was just another puppet, like Jean.
There was someone else pulling the strings,
a mind more powerful than anything I’ve ever encountered.
The relic will help unleash
the most powerful mutant the world has ever seen.
You will know him as... Apocalypse.
[Magneto] I don’t care what it takes.
Destroy that spider!
[Xavier] Don’t do it, Magnus!
Do not destroy it!
[Magneto] I... must...
[shallow breathing]
The key has been destroyed.
That wasn’t just a key.
It was a guardian, designed to prevent Apocalypse’s release.
And with its destruction,
a second door will now open.
[Cyclops] It’s like every person she’s ever absorbed
is fighting to take over.
I think she’s gotten control
over all these powers at once.
[screaming]
[sighs, gasps]
Having all of those personalities driven out
has left her very fragile.
What do your visions tell you now, Destiny?
An ancient mutant will rise
to once again walk the earth.
Your fates,
both yours and Rogue’s,
are in his hands.
[Xavier groans lightly]
[Xavier moaning lightly]
[door creaking]
[Jean moaning lightly]
[Scott groaning]
Scott?
-[rattling] -[gasps]
[Kitty] Scott, are you all right?
[gasps]
Uhh.
[theme music playing]
[alarm beeping]
[moans]
[alarm stops]
[groans]
[coughs]
Ugh.
Oh, my head.
[sighs] What a nightmare.
[gasps] Oh, no!
[alarm beeping]
Kurt, wake up!
Everyone overslept!
[alarm beeping]
[alarm stops]
[Kurt] Oh. Five more minutes.
Come on. We’re missing our last day of school!
No way!
Ugh.
What a bizarre dream.
Ugh. Think I need some therapy.
[indistinct chattering]
[moans]
Ugh. I think I’m gonna pass on breakfast.
[bell ringing]
-[Scott] Hurry up! -[indistinct chattering]
-[Kurt] See ya! -[Amara] Let's go!
[tires screeching]
[engine starts]
[sighs] It’s kinda sad, isn’t it?
I mean, after today, we’re done here forever.
Good riddance.
Oh, come on.
You can’t tell me you don’t have at least some good memories.
Let’s just say I won’t be buying the yearbook.
[chuckles] Oh, are you ever gonna lighten up?
Yep. One minute after graduation tomorrow.
I can’t wait.
Rest assured, the feeling is mutual.
[Jean] Principal Kelly!
Understand this, you two.
I want this year to end on a good note.
Some of the students here have earned it.
So, tomorrow’s ceremony will be free of any mutant mischief.
Got it?
Just have our diplomas ready, and we’ll be out of your hair.
[engine whirring]
[Toad laughing]
[Lance] Knock it off, Toad!
-[doorbell rings] -[door creaking]
[Toad] Yo, who’s at the door?
Uhh?
[moans]
Ah!
[belches]
I hope Wanda ain’t messin’ with the door-to-door salesman again.
Huh?
[moans]
Huh?
[Toad grunts]
Ow!
[Rogue grunts]
[grunting]
Ugh!
Ah!
[Toad screams]
I hate this part.
[Toad moans]
What is going on down there?
Huh?
[Pietro] Hey! What’s going on?
[gasps]
[Pietro grunts]
Ah!
[weak moan]
[engine starts]
[Ororo] Nothing I can’t handle.
Don’t worry. I won’t let it rain on your parade tomorrow.
Thanks, Storm.
I want it to be perfect for when my family gets here.
[Xavier] Well, now, have you given any thought
to your futures?
Jean, I know you’ve been accepted to several universities.
Uh, well, uh,
I’ve been thinking a lot about studying medicine,
maybe even genetics.
I know where I can find a great tutor.
Well, you’ll find my rates quite reasonable...
[telepathically] and I’m very easy to reach.
The window.
[groaning]
[screeches]
[metallic footsteps]
[grunts]
-[Sabretooth growls] -[Rogue] Uhh!
[roaring]
[Rogue grunts]
[groaning]
[groans]
[laughter]
Awful bold of ya coming here, girl.
Or are you just stupid?
[Rogue screams]
[laughing]
Huh?
[metallic footsteps]
[screams]
[groans]
[clapping]
Bravo, cherie.
Looks to me like Rogue’s up to no good.
But, hey, I like that in a girl.
Only thing is, you’re not alone in this, are you?
[sighs] Who’s behind it?
Mystique?
[Rogue] Uhn!
I think so.
Question is, why?
[grunting]
Uhh!
See if you can guess.
Uhh!
-[kissing sound] -[grunts]
[groans]
Rogue, where are you?
Wha--
[groans]
[moans]
[indistinct chattering]
Nice day, anyway.
No, this is a great day, Scott.
Our whole future is ahead of us.
Yeah.
Whatever it brings.
So nothing else matters.
Not all the harassment, the lost friends,
the fights. Nothing.
We’ve earned this as much as anyone else,
probably more.
I know.
Hey, who is that?
[man] Jean!
[Jean] Oh, there they are!
Go. I’ll see ya at the ceremony.
[Ororo] Looks like the forecast is improving.
Yes. I think even Principal Kelly
would have to appreciate your mutant abilities today, Storm.
Welcome.
I think back to the first time I spoke in front of you.
Change was the theme then,
and it has never been more important
than it is today.
So, as you go out into this rapidly changing world,
it is essential that you take control of your futures.
You may look across from you
and see students who have certain advantages over you.
Don’t be deterred.
Any disadvantage can be overcome.
You can prevail.
We can...
Oh, no.
[muttering]
[sighs] And there goes graduation.
[panicked yelling]
Everyone, please, remain calm and exit the field as quickly as possible.
Not so fast, Rogue.
[magnetic hum]
[clattering]
Magneto, explain yourself.
The girl is under Mesmero’s control, Charles.
She attacked us to absorb our powers,
then wiped our minds with his power to cover it up.
What proof do you have?
My surveillance cameras.
They captured it all.
[grunting]
[Kitty grunts]
[Kurt screams]
[gasps]
Mutants have terrorized this world long enough!
Someone has got to stop them!
-Logan, track Rogue. -Got it.
You two, go with him.
[Logan] No! I don’t need their help!
Logan, you two must put it aside.
There’s too much at stake.
[both growl]
[engines revving]
Well, this is gonna be interesting.
[Xavier] Our goal is twofold. First, we must prevent Rogue
from securing the final key,
and in the likely event we fail...
We find the door first and defend it.
But for that, we need to assemble only our most-experienced team members.
[Xavier] To prevent Mesmero
from taking anyone else under his control...
I’m afraid I must place mental blocks within each of them.
It is the only way.
-Agreed. -I’ve had limited success
determining Apocalypse’s place of origin beyond ancient Egypt.
Search under his real name,
En Sabah Nur.
[sniffs]
Ah!
[both sniff]
Rogue!
Mesmero!
Neither of ’em were in the driver’s seat,
but I’m not gettin’ a scent.
That’s because you don’t know what you’re talkin’ about.
[both grunt]
I am not puttin’ up with this anymore.
[groans]
Here’s a bulletin.
Now, this ain’t about you, pit bulls.
Let’s go find Rogue.
She must’ve taken a boat.
-[jet engine sounds nearby] -Or a plane.
[Beast] En Sabah Nur.
Ruled about 5,000 years ago in Giza,
which would logically be the place he’s entombed.
But the specific location of that tomb...
is unknown.
I fear the only place that information lies
is within the mind of Mesmero.
I’ve been in that mind.
[moaning]
Ah!
[screams]
Perhaps I’ve had the answer all along.
[Xavier] With Cerebro amplifying my powers,
I just may be able to interpret the jumbled knowledge I took from him.
[heavy breathing]
I... I’ve...
I’ve found it.
[jet engine roaring]
[groaning]
[sniffing]
[Sabretooth] Yeah. They were here.
Gee, what was your first clue?
Think maybe they stole a jet, too?
-[growls] -[Gambit] Hey!
This them?
[Logan] Hmm. Looks like it.
They’re passing over California,
heading for the Pacific.
Hope you boys brought your frequent-flyer cards.
[jet engine roaring]
[door whirring]
I believe the door is housed in an underground chamber.
-Kitty? -We’ll be in radio contact.
[Shadowcat] I’ll let you know what I find.
[gasps]
Whoa! Uhh!
I--I landed on a stairway in some sort of chamber.
It looks huge.
[Beast, on radio] Kitty, do you see any kind of lever
at the top of those stairs?
Uh, hold on. I’ll look.
[Shadowcat] I think I found it, like a stone knob.
[Beast on radio] Push it in, then get out of the way.
[Kitty grunts]
[rumbling]
[Jean] Ah!
[rumbling]
Pyro, light the way,
and then let’s find that door.
No problem.
I don’t mind saying I’m totally creeped out.
You? I had to come in here alone!
[rattling]
[gasps]
[roaring]
[statues roaring]
[gasps]
[rumbling]
[Nighcrawler] Look out!
We’re trapped!
