Alarms sound. Dogs are released. Searchlights fill the sky and soldiers mount every type of vehicle from helicopter to snowmobile. Someone has escaped their cell at Weapon X, a counter-terrorism division of SHIELD that trains young mutants to do the dirty work.

The mysterious mutant known only as “Nightcrawler,” a teleporter, kills three soldiers before stealing a snowmobile and nearly escaping his Weapon X captors. A strike force led by Colonel John Wraith takes him out. He orders both Nightcrawler and the girl in the next who sings to him be tortured.

Meanwhile, in Arizona, Wolverine explores an abandoned Weapon X base. He telepathically communicates with Professor Xavier to tell him the news: Weapon X has relocated. Again.

In the med-lab Marvel Girl examines Beast, who has recovered from his injuries with the help of an organ transplant using kangaroo and gorilla organs. They discuss the public relations tour of Asia that Cyclops, Storm, and Colossus have been sent on. While in Japan, though, a mysterious girl known as “Rogue” touches Colossus as he makes his way through a crowd of fans. Soon afterward she radios Weapon X and informs Colonel Wraith that she’s collected all the information on the X-Men that he wanted. Colonel Wraith orders three SHIELD divisions to prepare for an attack.
