The story begins with Magik traveling to the future and witnessing a group of X-Men fighting Sentinels. After Teen Cyclops is nearly killed in a Sentinel attack, which almost rewrites history and results in the modern Cyclops disappearing for a moment, the modern X-Men decide to send the original five X-Men back to their own time. However, before they can, a future team of X-Men, consisting of Kitty Pryde, [[{{ComicBook/Runaways}} Molly Hayes]], Xorn, {{SelfDemonstrating/Deadpool}}, Beast, Xavier (Legion's son and the grandson of Charles Xavier) and Ice Hulk (Iceman), appear to do the same, as the presence of the original X-Men in the current timeline will result in disastrous consequences.
