In "X-Men: Divided Part Five of Five," Cyclops and Emma Frost lead a desperate fight against a mind-controlled team of X-Men in San Francisco, unraveling Mastermind’s illusion as Angel saves the city’s mayor—only to be handed a surprising offer. Meanwhile, in Russia, Colossus, Wolverine, and Nightcrawler battle Omega Red before receiving a call to return home and seize the future. In a quiet epilogue, a mysterious figure approaches Martinique with an invitation to join the Sisterhood, setting the stage for what’s to come. Written by Ed Brubaker and illustrated by Mike Choi and Ben Oliver, with colors by Sonia Oback and Jason Keith, and a cover by Billy Tan and Brian Reber, this pivotal issue marks a turning point in the X-Men’s fractured journey.

Cyclops and Emma Frost fight the brainwashed hippie X-Men, eventually defeating Mastermind who escapes with her memory restored. As the illusion fades Angel rescues the Mayor of San Francisco from being run over by a truck, and she offers to help the X-Men with their "relocation plans". In Russia, Colossus, Wolverine and Nightcrawler defeat Omega Red in time to get the call from Cyclops to come "home" and "seize the future." In an epilogue, Martinique is approached by a figure whose face we cannot see who invites her to join the Sisterhood to be ready for the X-Men when they arrive.
