Before Wyre can get Beast to leave with him, he is attacked by Jennifer Starkey. When Beast surrenders, Wyre teleports away with the 3K X-Men.
In the "Age of Revelation" storyline, it is revealed that the Chairman of 3K is a synthetic body housing the mind of the original Beast, who was sent into a possible future in place of his Krakoan duplicate.

Cyclops later fired his eye beams at the ground near Schwarzchild enabling Juggernaut to defeat him. Even though Timebomb is the second-in-command, this puts the 3K X-Men members into a leadership crisis. The X-Men take advantage of it and defeat the 3K X-Men who are all teleported away.
