After enjoying the event for several hours, they attend Machado's talk that evening, joined by Callisto (who's reappeared a bit earlier than expected). Her enhanced senses allow her to pick up on suspicious movement in the woods, and even as she warns Angelo, an energy blast from that direction barely misses Machado. It doesn't miss some of the bystanders, and the crowd panics, scattering and trying to take cover. This involves heading out of the open and into the woods, which complicates the situation.

Fortunately, a small team had already been aloft in the new [[Blackbird]], practicing telekinetic personnel drops. Under the cover of inclement weather provided by Ororo, they were able to arrive rapidly at Central Park, intervening to protect their people and Machado.

Tat manages to link up with Angelo and Machado.  They also encounter one of the assassins, who is a young mutant around the age of fifteen and have to flee to protect Machado. Karolina, is visibly glowing and Noriko is startled into making visible use of her powers, and get targeted by another of the team of assassins - again, a young mutant in his mid-teens - as a potential threat. Callisto makes a timely reappearance and is able to help them out. The five eventually manage to find each other in the woods, and focus on staying together and ahead of the 'bad guys' for long enough for the team to get there. This is obviously happening in one of the areas of the park where it's possible to get 'lost' for that long (the Ramble or North Woods).

One of the young assassins made another attempt to kill Machado, and Scott attempted a non-lethal counter with an optic blast. Unfortunately, he was hit from behind and the optic blast fired in an unintended direction, seriously injuring the young mutant. The other assassins retreated. Scott made the decision to send the injured assassin back to the mansion on board the Blackbird, but his injuries were too severe, and he did not survive the trip.  
  
Given the lack of notice, the team deployed is very small. They're dropped from the Blackbird (token pilot to be determined) under cover of fog provided from Ororo, who also gets herself to the ground while Jean takes care of that for Scott and Cain. Ororo continues to provide cover with the weather as they track down Angelo and the others, while remaining ahead of the police (who have arrived by then).

Jean, in an encounter with the young assassins (who turn out to be a team of four), finds a moment for a telepathic scan.

Cain, meanwhile, is very disturbed by finding himself in a combat situation with 'kids' - one of his personal buttons, after the [[X-Men Mission: Hole In The World| incident with Siena Blaze]].

After what can best be described as a running scuffle, they get to Angelo's group first, only to discover that they've been joined by more civilians.

But he's hit from behind and the optic blast goes in an unintended direction, seriously injuring the young mutant; it's a fluke accident, one of 'those things' that sometimes happens in combat.

Plot Summary

In late September, New Dawn held an exhibition in New York's Central Park. There were talks given on the movement's activities and way of life, demonstrations by New Dawn artisans, and other exhibits designed to introduce the movement to the wider world. Angelo, at Nathan's suggestion, decided to take a small group of students to the event. Tatiana came out of genuine interest, while Noriko and Karolina hoped to take the opportunity to slip away. Callisto, who had been planning to spend the day in New York, agreed to drop them off and pick them up.

The group attended Mariana Machado's talk that evening, joined by Callisto. Her enhanced senses allowed her to pick up on suspicious movement in the woods, shortly before an energy blast barely missed Machado and sent the crowd into a panic. When the Xavier's group became separated in the chaos, Angelo was only able to locate Tatiana, at first. The two of them also ecnountered Machado, whom Angelo convinced to stick with them as he called the X-Men for help. Elsewhere in the woods, Karolina's visible glow attracted the attention of one of the would-be assassins, a young mutant who identified her as a threat. She and Noriko were rescued by Callisto.

Fortunately, a small team had already been aloft in the new Blackbird, practicing telekinetic personnel drops. Under the cover of inclement weather provided by Ororo, they were able to arrive rapidly at Central Park, intervening to protect their people and Machado. With a telepathic scan of the young assassins, Jean established that their minds had been psionically manipulated to a heretofore unseen extent, while Cain was very disturbed by finding himself in a combat situation with 'kids', giving him a disturbing flashback to the incident with Siena Blaze.

One of the young assassins made another attempt to kill Machado, and Scott attempted a non-lethal counter with an optic blast. Unfortunately, he was hit from behind and the optic blast fired in an unintended direction, seriously injuring the young mutant. The other assassins retreated. Scott made the decision to send the injured assassin back to the mansion on board the Blackbird, but his injuries were too severe, and he did not survive the trip.

Back at the mansion, the age of the attackers, their obvious military training, and what was done to their minds raised other questions, given the events of Seven Minutes In Heaven. Nathan asked Jean to check the body for any unusual markings, and during a cursory examination, they found a small alpha-omega tattoo, identical to the ones given to new Mistra operatives.
