- Untitled · 22 pages
Nightcrawler becomes very upset when he discovers that Cyclops has sanctioned X-Force to covertly do the X-Men's dirty work, including killing their enemies. The New Mutants discover where Cable and Hope are hiding out and the X-Men move in to intercept them just as Stryker and the Purifiers attack.
Publisher’s description
The race to find Cable and Hope is on, but who will get to them first? Will it be Cyclops and the X-Men or Bastion and his mutant-hating cabal? Cyclops isn't waiting for the answer to that as takes the fight directly to Bastion with the New Mutants!
