Upon seeing a video of Trevor Fitzroy broadcasting a livestream about murdering mutants on camera, Cyclops calls up the X-Men for a meeting and he tells them that Fitzroy needs to be stopped at all costs. However, Cyclops' team is a little short-handed as the two psychics - Quentin Quire and Psylocke, are too busy with the Psychic Rescue mission. Thus, the 'Operation Stop Fitzroy' team consist of Magik (as the field team leader), Idie Okonkwo, Juggernaut and past-Beast clone. As Cyclops appoints past-Beast clone to be on Magik's team, the latter (past-Beast) protests at the idea of going on a field mission as he claims that he is busy with his projects. Magik points out to past-Beast clone that since he is on Cyclops' team, he has to do some teamwork and if he doesn't want to, then he has to join Rogue's team in Louisiana.

At Detroit, the random mutant is hunted down by Fitzroy's drones. As she collapses to the ground, Fitzroy and his All-New Upstarts hover around her and they gloat that she needs to cut down her sedentary lifestyle. Before the All-New Upstarts could advance on the exhausted random mutant, the X-Men pop out of Magik's portal to stop them. As the battle rages on, Magik fights Fitzroy but she finds herself too evenly-matched as the latter (Fitzroy) has teleporting powers too. In the middle of the fight, Juggernaut recognizes the three new Upstarts as the mutants from O-Force, the D-List mutants who used to be on the reality show like the X-Statix. As Juggernaut asks why he is murdering mutants, one of the former O-Force mutants replies that he doesn't care about morality, he only cares about fame. While Juggernaut and past-Beast clone are fighting the three new Upstarts, Idie manages to save the random mutant who did not know that she is a mutant herself. Even though Juggernaut and past-Beast clone beat up the three new Upstarts, the battle ends with Fitzroy and his new Upstarts teleporting away. Before retreating, Fitzroy gloats at the X-Men that they will always be hated and feared while his Upstarts will be loved for hunting mutants.

Magik and the X-Men VS Trevor Fitzroy and the All-New Upstarts - Round 2

Trevor Fitzroy and Sugar Man are having an argument when the X-Men (consisting of Magik, Juggernaut, Quentin Quire and Jennifer Starkey as Animalia) teleport into the headquarters to have another round with the Upstarts. Knowing that Fitzroy might lose, Sugar Man leaves his rival to fend for himself. Fitzroy calls his minions to fight the X-Men. The All-New Upstarts consist of Trevor Fitzroy, Orbit, Ocelot and Orifice. Quentin Quire tries to shut down Fitzroy's brain to keep him from teleporting but Orbit disorientates him, causing Quentin to vomit. Fitzroy calls his minions to take down the X-Men while leaving Animalia out of the fight, claiming that she's nothing but a prize. As the battle rages on, Ocelot taunts Juggernaut by calling him 'soft' while trying to gut the nauseous Quentin. Fitzroy and Orifice trap Magik in the blast beams but she manages to deflect the beams onto them. However, just before Magik could charge at Fitzroy, she gets hit by Orbit's vertigo balls instead. Quentin Quire manages to shake off his nausea and hits Orbit with his psychic blast but unfortunately, he gets slashed by Ocelot. Meanwhile, Animalia watches the fight on the sidelines until she snaps as she realizes that she needs to help her teammates. Animalia changes into her lizard form and she nearly mauls Fitzroy for bullying her earlier. Since Fitzroy is pinned down, the X-Men managed to defeat his minions. Juggernaut also snaps when he crushes Ocelot to death, claiming that he is keeping his promise not to be too soft.
