Weapon X has been divided into two strike forces. Cyclops, Storm, Marvel Girl and Nightcrawler attack the compound where Nick Fury was neutralized while Beast, Iceman and Colossus attempt to rescue Fury from his captors.

Between Cyclops, Storm and Nightcrawler the first team quickly infiltrates the base and finds their prime target, a creature that’s been genetically engineered from dozens of mutant genes. Cyclops has some problem destroying the creature since it is technically alive, but ultimately destroys the creature.

Meanwhile, Iceman downs the helicopters following the train that’s carrying Fury. Colossus is ordered to stop the train himself. He worried that he’s not strong enough and the train will simply crush him. Surprisingly, though, he manages to stop it with little effort. Beast moves in and rescues Fury from the rubble. Mission accomplished.

Back at the terrorists’ base, Marvel Girl and Storm try to convince one of the organization’s top scientists to work for SHIELD. Their orders change “from hire to fire” and Wraith tells Jean to terminate him. Se refuses, though, so Wraith offers her an ultimatum: the mad scientist or Cyclops. The decision is a tough one, but Jean ultimately kills the scientist.

After they return from the mission some of the X-Men begin to crack. Colossus tries to comfort the young Iceman, telling him the Wolverine will come to save them all. Just then Sabretooth and a group of Weapon X soldiers drag a bloodied Wolverine into a cell.
