There was a war... Weapon-x came out of the shadows with Dark Phoenix leading the GHOST army. It was the end of days for mutants. Weapon-x took power from behind the curtain. Buying politicians, or threatening them and their families. Thankfully the corruption stayed mostly in the states and Canada where they found the most need for it. S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Ultimates were forced into submission, they decided to take a dangerous task when they aided the mutant kind under "the governments" nose. Two years went by, the Brotherhood and The X-men remained intact.
The x-men had to abandon the institute and retreat to covert bases. Taking the many students with them, they split up. Trying to continue life for the children and fight a war. The brotherhood split up to different parts of the states to fight weapon-x on a larger scale. During the fighting and the rage of war, Dark Phoenix found the two main bases and set her GHOSTs upon them. Rift, having lost an eye to one of the predator's found out of this. Seeing the end to both her family and a loved one, she went out. It had been years, decades even since Rift had used her name-sake ability but the one thing the Doctor had unleashed was her memories including that one.
She activated a Rift that destroyed the attacking GHOST army, it saved both the x-men and brotherhood. It cost the world a life and the brotherhood a sister. Her body was found a few hours later, Pariah and many of the brotherhood were never the same.
Weapon-x began to seep into Europe, with Dark Phoenix giving them the power to move forward. This was their last mistake.
The Brotherhood and The X-men were forced to put aside their disagreements for the time being to defeat a greater threat.
This was how the war started, human against mutant. All mutant kind fought until the power of the Dark Phoenix was no more. With their main power source dead Weapon-X quickly retreated back to their main base. With the eye of the storm upon them the X-men and brotherhood worked together one last time. Having both lost their leaders in the war against the phoenix they were both still recovering, needed somewhere safe. The last act of teamwork between the opposing organizations was the mutant island, Genosia. With now an island for mutants many X-men stay there to protect the citizens from attack. Those that are left with the students have returned to the institute under their new headmistress, Kit Storm to teach a new generation. Emma Frost "invited" to come and teach at the institute, has become a help since the murder of Xavier. With great dismay they ceased they hunt for the killer, after six months of nothing.
