Brief Description: 

In Terra Verde, Professor X and Magneto were looking for Moira MacTaggert but have instead been led into a trap, as human Orchis troops as well as Omega Sentinel and Nimrod are expecting them. To their horror, Omega Sentinel and Nimrod slaughter the human troops, revealing the secret that they hate humans as much as mutants. The two sides battle, with the result that Nimrod takes Xavier hostage, just as Magneto is about to kill Omega Sentinel. Nimrod offers a truce and exchange of hostages. Xavier urges him to take it. If they die here, their knowledge of what happened to Moira is lost. However, once Omega Sentinel is freed, Nimrod cheats, leading to both Xavier and Magneto’s deaths. Moria, in the meantime, is a prisoner of Mystique and Destiny. When she realizes they know her secret, she feels safe in the knowledge they cannot kill her without destroying their own lives. However, she is wrong, as Emma Frost gave them Forge’s Neutralizer. Once they use it on Moira, she now is a powerless human. When they are about to kill her, Cypher intervenes, pointing out they are breaking one of Kraoka’s laws. Mystique considers killing him as well, but then sees he has reinforcements in the form of Warlock, his wife Bei and Krakoa itself. Warlock gives Morai a techno-organic arm for the one she lost and Cypher and Krakoa offer her a gate to leave. Mystique warns her that she will be hunted and Moira flees. Sometime later, Xavier and Magneto are returned to life by the Five and Emma Frost. Emma tells them she has revealed all their secrets to the Quiet Council. Those secrets will now be a burden all of them carry.
