This is not going to happen again.

It has been 20 years since Magneto betrayed us on the island; leading us into the trap created by his Brotherhood. 20 years since he killed Larry Trainor, Rita Farr and Christopher Summers. 20 years since he condemned me to this chair. 20 years since he destroyed Cliff Steele. 20 years since the mysterious death of our benefactor "The Chief", my friend Thomas Wayne. 20 years since he destroyed the original Doom Patrol.

It was 15 years until a group of adolescent costumed adventurers inspired me to try once again to help shape the future of man and mutant kind. Young sidekicks banded together as the Teen Titans combined with my pupils, my New Mutants, to form the X-Men.

Now those X-Men have been summoned to investigate another mysterious isalnd, Krakoa.

It has been three days since their last transmission. Two days since Cyclops returned alone; unconscious aboard the Blackbird with no memory of what happened to Jean, Donna, Wally and the rest of his teammates. Dick has returned to lead the rescue party. Old wounds healed in the face of this crisis. Donning the mantle 'Nightwing' he is joined by my leiutenant Cliff Steele, now known only as 'Box'. They are leading an multinational task force back to the island. Friends and colleagues discovered over the years since Erik's betrayal. Members of a vast network of mutant resistance to The Brotherhood secreted around the globe.

I can't help but fear this crisis was designed simply to draw them into the open. Regardless, I need their help to return my X-Men to me, to save the dream.

We expect heavy casualties. This is our second attempt. Vulcan's team is lost. I hold the next generation of X-Men in reserve. I cannot expose them yet. They are the future, this group is more expendable. Truley a Doom Patrol.

Please forgive me,

Prof. Charles Xavier (Mento)
