Author's Note: My knowledge of the X-Men comes mostly from the animated series, so just attribute any inaccuracies to an alternate-universe. Also, I like to acknowledge my inspiration for this story: Independence Day (my dad always thought the aliens should have won), Robotech, and Elizabeth Peters' Amelia Peabody mysteries.
