Schism was a lame story, it was poorly executed, the fight between Cyclops and Wolverine was a load of rubbish and even now Rogue is still decided which side to choose in X-Men legacy, even after the sides have already been chosen. This how X-Men should of been divided up. There will no prelude to story, It will be six part story, the first four parts will be focus on how and why it happened and the last two chapters will focus, on who sides with who.
I would have Sentinels attacking mutants everywhere and anywhere and Cyclops would send his best X-Men to defeat the them. Cyclops, Wolverine, Emma and the Cuckoos, will remain on utopia, trying to keep the mutants on the island safe. Cyclops discovers there is bunch mutants terrorist on another island that are hunting down other mutants and putting both mutants and humans in danger. So Cyclops and Wolverine decide to check it out, while Emma and the girls remains on Utopia and there keeping in contact with everyone. Unknown to Wolverine, Cyclops tells the Emma to find a way to lead the Sentinels to the island. So Emma contacts Magneto to lead them there, Magneto is not unaware of Cyclops intentions. He leads a few Sentinels there. The Sentinels destroy the island and destroys all the mutants and humans on the island. While Magneto takes on loads of Sentinels, Magneto demonstrates how powerful he truly is.
In a building, falling apart on the island not far from Magneto. Wolverine stands above dead mutants and humans and discovers the mutants are only kids and dicovers Cyclops had no interest in saving the mutants and humans. Wolverine attacks Cyclops and we talking about a brutal fight here, not the fight we saw in schisms. Emma discovers whats going and she trys to break it up telepathly, but it deosn't work, there not listening. She contacts Magneto, Storms and Charles. Storm flys to island, Charles is teleported there by Pixie and after defeated sentinels, Magneto restraints Wolverine with his power, Storm Stops Cyclops with hers and Charles trys to calm them down and ask whats going on. Wolverine tells them whats going on and they all suprised.
The other X-Men defeat all the Sentinels and go back to utopia and dicovers what's going on. In the meeting room, the most important X-Men and most popular characters, talk about what happened. Storm decides this is not for her anymore, she wants to go back to teaching young mutants, in a school, not sending them to deaths, Wolverine agrees with her and so does Charles. They both take her side and then all the other X-Men decide what side to take. For next two issues, which will be one X-Men legacy and one Uncanny X-Men. We get to see who chooses what side and why. Storm become headmistress and Charles becomes Headmaster of a school again.
To me this sounds like a better story to split up the X-Men, What do you think? do you like this idea better ? If not, what would be a better story to divide the X-Men.
