"I'll keep warm at night knowing that you're trapped within the shadows of the psi-plane...haunted by the knowledge that you were definitively vanquished by...how did you put it?

"I don't want to do this Charles, rather I have to. I must be strong, because you and your X-Men are too weak to do that which must be done! ....For no matter what happens to you and me, the welfare of the children is paramount. Whether they be the innocent like Illyana, Doug and Anya before them, the lost such as my Acolytes, or the misguided like the fools you count among the X-Men; they need to be protected! They need to be awakened from the dream in which you've lulled them! Whether you admit it or not, they need...MAGNETO!" ~Magneto to Xavier at Illyana's funeral
