Synopsis:The Mutant Liberation Front blow up an energy research facility, demanding the release of captive New Mutants Skids and Rusty. The mysterious Cable is following the MLF, but cannot prevent the destruction of the energy research facility. Skids, in her cell, with the unconscious Rusty nearby, watches media reports of their recent battle with the Vulture and Nitro, and is extremely angry that she is being portrayed as a villain, though is surprised to learn of the Mutant Liberation Front, and that they are demanding her freedom. Mystique comes to ask Skids some questions about the MLF, but as Sally points out, she doesn’t know anything, as she is not a terrorist. Mystique informs her that she will be remaining here in the custody of Freedom Force. Stryfe, the Mutant Liberation Front’s mysterious leader sends some of the MLF to liberate Skids and Rusty, unaware that Cable is on their trail once more. The MLF break into the facility where Skids is being kept, and soon Cable attacks them, until he is wounded by Strobe. The MLF break into Skids’ cell, and Rusty wakes, though he is instantly shot by one of the confused guards, thinking he is attempting to escape. This of course upsets Skids who is offered good reasons by Strobe as to why she should go with them, and with little to lose, Skids agrees, and they all escape. On Asgard, Skids’ teammates Cannonball, Mirage, Sunspot, Rictor, Boom-Boom, Wolfsbane and Warlock are celebrating their recent victory with the heroes of Asgard, when they are present with a map, showing them the way home, since the Rainbow Bridge was destroyed. Karnilla’s people are also returned to their human forms after being stuck in stone for so long. Mirage announces that she will be remaining in Asgard to right the wrongs Hela committed in the name of the Valkyries, and after Warlock shifts his form into a large ship, the New Mutants depart Asgard, to varying degrees of sadness. En route to Earth, they encounter the supposedly deadly Mindless Ones, but deal to them easily, before arriving back on Earth at the Statue of Liberty, though they do not see Skids and Rusty there and assume they escaped. With the X-Men and X-Factor gone, the New Mutants are at a loss as to what to do next, when suddenly X-Factor’s Ship falls from the sky. Meanwhile, in federal custody, Cable regrets not being able to rescue Skids and decides that he needs some help against the Mutant Liberation Front.
