Synopsis:
Rictor and the mutated Wolfsbane make their way through the Genoshan Citadel, when they come across Cameron Hodge, whom Wolfsbane attacks. Nearby, Cable and Storm learn of the attack and make their way to the corridor. Hodge is aware of them coming and shoves his stinger through Cable. While Storm attacks Hodge, Cable is able to radio Cyclops, who is with Wolverine and Marvel Girl. Cyclops subsequently radios Archangel and sends him to help Cable. Cyclops tells Jean that when they reach Hodge, she is to stay away from him, causing Wolverine to get annoyed and suggest to Cyclops that he stop telling Jean what to do. The men argue, before Jean points out that she is capable of looking after herself. Archangel arrives just in time to help Storm, but the hate between him and Hodge runs deep, and their battle is brutal, resulting in Archangel getting captured and Hodge preparing to slice his head off. In the prison, Beast manages to free himself, but the others are still unconscious. Seeing some mutants nearby, the Beast plans to use them to help him. Havok arrives in the corridor just in time to save Archangel from decapitation by attacking Hodge. Wolverine, Cyclops, and Jean Grey aren’t far behind, and they join in the battle, although Hodge manages to shove his stinger into Wolverine’s back and injure Jean. Jubilee, Cannonball, Sunspot, and Boom-Boom, who is carrying the ashes of Warlock, are soon found by the Beast, who is with the mutants that are carrying the others. They then meet up with Chief Magistrate Anderson, who is holding the President of Genosha at gunpoint. Hodge makes his way to the top of the Citadel, where he is attacked by Cyclops and Havok, who combine their powers. The rest of the mutants are all reunited below, and watch as the citadel explodes. Havok and Cyclops continue to pour the power on, and eventually, all that is left of Hodge is his head, which still causes trouble, as he extends his tongue and wraps it around Havok, throwing him off the top of the Citadel. Jean catches Havok and Cyclops in a telekinetic field when they fall from the ledge, while Hodge’s head is found by Wolfsbane, who tears it apart and throws it under the Citadel as it collapses thanks to a seismic wave created by Rictor. In the aftermath, Genosha is put under military control, while the President is placed under custody. Havok warns Chief Magistrate Anderson that he will be keeping an eye on Genosha, as he will be remaining on the island, while Wolfsbane announces that she, too, is staying, and asks the New Mutants to scatter Warlock’s ashes on Cypher’s grave. Upon returning to Westchester, they do just that.
