Apocalypse's deadly plan continues
However, the immortal Mutant is well aware of Cable's efforts, and redirects him to the 1990s. They fill Cable in on what's been happening, but he doesn't give a damn about any of that; all he wants is Apocalypse. Elsewhere, Logan's managed to "question" the captive Sabretooth, and gets a reluctant Professor to probe deeper. Seeing the connection between the abductions and Apocalypse, backed up by Archangel's own research during his hunt, both parties decide to go back to when Apocalypse first built his Lazarus Chamber and destroy it.
The pyramid proves to be more guarded than they thought, as the Horsemen of Apocalypse are waiting for them. Fighting their way past, the X-Men

!!This episode provides examples of:
* AchillesHeel: Cable reveals Apocalypse actually does have one, his Lazarus chamber, which extends his life. Without it, he can at least die of old age.
* CallBack: Numerous ones to past episodes, including previous encounters with Apocalypse, including Archangel's research into Apocalypse, which lead him to discovering a false weakness. Here, it turns out there is a real weakness the X-Men can exploit to stop the madman.
* ChessMotifs: Subtle, but in the end, Apocalypse reveals his gambit was to capture Xavier. Or as he dubs him, the King piece.
* FromBadToWorse: At the end, Apocalypse reveals they have the final piece they need:
-->'''Apocalypse:''' The capture of the king... Professor Charles Xavier.
* HorsemenOfTheApocalypse: Turns out Apocalypse always wanted four horsemen to serve him, and in the past already had a Pestilence, War, Famine and Death protecting his sanctuary.
* NoOntologicalInertia: The hopes of the X-Men, that in destroying the ancient Lazarus chamber, the Apocalypse of the future won't exist. Their entire plan hinges on it.
