In the days that followed, Cyclops was content to harass the Avengers in repeated engagements, slowly capturing individual members with the intent on waiting them out. Namor wanted a more aggressive response to their detractors, however, especially after being injured and embarrassed in one encounter with the Scarlet Witch. Emma agreed with Namor over Scott, and the two of 
them began a psychic affair just as she and Scott once carried on behind Jean Grey's back. Emma's increased telepathy detected the Avengers in Wakanda, and she gave Namor the information. Atlantis brought war to Wakanda, and it took the entire team of Avengers to beat Namor down. Once he fell, however, a startling event happened: Namor's portion of the Phoenix Force left him, and divided among the remaining members of the Phoenix Five. [Avengers vs. X-Men #7-8]
The Phoenix hosts became more unstable after this, and lost the support of the other X-Men, including Storm and Charles Xavier. An assault on Magik's Limbo prison to rescue captured Avengers led to her and Colossus falling as well, leaving the Phoenix split between Emma and Scott. Emma felt herself slipping away under the Phoenix's influence, but Cyclops remained focused on the Avengers and mutantkind and could provide her no support. She began hunting down and punishing individual people who ever harmed a mutant, and began telepathically 
imposing obedience on Utopia with the remaining mutants. When the X-Men and Avengers finally came for them, Scott and Emma engaged in battle while privately sharing a meal together on a separate level of consciousness. Remotely aware of how much the Phoenix had changed them, Scott and Emma ended their relationship as Emma confessed her infidelity with Namor. In the real world, this prompted Cyclops to strike Emma down and claim the full power of the Phoenix Force for himself. [Avengers vs. X-Men #9-11, Uncanny X-Men (2nd series) #18]
Dark Phoenix Scott Summers was defeated by Hope and the Scarlet Witch, and Hope used the Phoenix Force to end the Decimation for good, reintroducing mutant manifestations to the world population. It was all with great cost, however, for Phoenix-Cyclops had struck down and killed Charles Xavier before he was beaten. Emma and Scott were arrested and held in federal custody for the actions they performed as the Phoenix. [AvX: Consequences #3]
In time, Cyclops escaped with the help of Magneto and Magik, and they rescued Emma as well. Although they had regained their senses, Scott and Emma felt their relationship was just too broken to return to at this point. Furthermore, their powers were also broken, apparently a side effect of their time as the Phoenix. Emma's diamond form remained, but her telepathy was either 
completely absent or beyond her control at first. Still, this small band of X-Men decided to remain together as a more militant option to Wolverine and his school. Cyclops became the public face of the "new mutant revolution" to come, while he, Emma and the others rescued new emerging mutants from humans or Sentinels that meant them harm. They created the New Xavier School, hidden away in the abandoned Weapon X facility in Canada.
After several successful missions recruiting new mutants, Cyclops and Magneto had a disastrous encounter in the field with the original five X-Men. Scott initially believed he may have gone mad or was being manipulated, but he and Emma conferred afterwards and realized the truth. Hank McCoy so hated Scott for all he had done in recent months that he went back in time and recruited the original teenaged versions of the team to confront Cyclops in the present. Emma, 
Scott and Magik went to the Jean Grey School to address the situation and recruit any students who wished to join them instead. Emma made psychic contact with the Stepford Cuckoos, who were surprised to find their old teacher/mother had lost her telepathy. Despite some initial antagonism, the Cuckoos agreed to follow Emma to the New Xavier School, helping train her telepathy just as she once trained them.
Emma and the X-Men continued their efforts while dealing with a mysterious force of rogue Sentinels stalking them. In time, they learned it was the Dark Beast seeking revenge on the X-Men. In fact, it was the influence of his disruptive nano-Sentinels that scrambled Emma's telepathy and the others' powers, not the Phoenix Force. Although technically a school, Cyclops and Magik mostly focused on combat training. It was Emma who showed interest in the new students with passive abilities like Benjamin Deeds, encouraging him to explore his powers and develop them more fully.
The New Xavier School expanded when Kitty Pryde and the original five X-Men all came to live with Cyclops and Emma as well, temporarily rejecting Wolverine and his school. The presence of the young Jean Grey in particular was off-putting, as both Emma and the Cuckoos instinctively measured themselves against the younger, untrained Marvel Girl. Emma's telepathy had returned thanks to her training with the Cuckoos, although she kept that a secret at first. She promised to 
train the young Jean in her growing telepathy, although her idea of training at first was to assault Jean telepathically with images of her affair with Scott until she learned how to block them. Despite this uncomfortable beginning, Emma and Jean found common ground and began to work together on their training.
The time came when Cyclops' "mutant revolution" ended. After one of their students was forced to alter time and remove an Omega class mutant threat from existence after Scott got himself, Emma, and many others killed trying to win over the new mutant, Cyclops realized his revolution was a joke. He shut down the New Xavier School and told all the students to go back to Westchester. He confessed to Emma that he had no idea what the revolution actually had been 
about, and was only using it as a threat to keep the humans who hated and feared them at bay. Emma tried to reach out to Scott in his emotional breakdown, but he put up walls between them by throwing her affair with Namor back at her. Even though she still cared for him, Emma felt she had no choice but to leave Scott behind. [Uncanny X-Men (3rd series) #1-32]
Despite their differences, Scott and Emma eventually reunited months later after the Incursions crisis. They took a team of X-Men to Muir Island to investigate a distress call from Jamie Madrox. The Multiple Man was found dead, victim of exposure to the Terrigen Mists. The Inhumans' sacred 
mist was floating around the planet in two clouds, bringing Terrigenesis to people with latent Inhuman genes in the populace. Somehow, the mist had become toxic to mutants, creating a sickness which became known as M-Pox. Unaware of the danger, Emma and the X-Men landed in the mists on Muir and were exposed. Emma and Cyclops were looking for other survivors on Muir when Scott collapsed and, in a matter of moments, died of Terrigen exposure in Emma's arms.
This senseless, useless death for the man she loved most broke Emma. She quickly decided this was not how the story of Scott Summers would end, and began crafting a response. Using her telepathy, Emma fooled the other X-Men when they reunited into believing Scott was still with them. Using her Scott image as a puppet, Emma prepared her X-Men to oppose the Inhumans 
and take revenge for the death of Madrox (and secretly, Cyclops). She and the Cuckoos transmitted a "Cyclops" projection to the world, warning them of the toxic effects of Terrigen and issuing a call to arms against the Inhumans and their death cloud. The Stepford Cuckoos realized the truth during the broadcast, but were cowed into keeping the secret by Emma's grief and rage.
