Story

Storm, Boom-Boom, Rictor, Wolfsbane and Warlock have been captured by Magistrates and teleported to Genosha by the Magistrate called Pipeline. As a side-affect of his power, the mutants arrive naked, their clothes not being teleported along and, even worse, Warlock finds himself drained of nearly all his life-glow. The mutants learn that the driving force behind their kidnapping is none other than mutant-hater Cameron Hodge, who now inhabits a monstrous mechanical body. When they try to fight their way out of the Magistrates’ citadel, the mutants are stripped of their powers by Wipeout and locked away in a prison cell to await their procession into mindless mutates. Hodge wants the Genegineer, Dr. Moreau to transfer Warlock’s shapeshifting powers to him, but during an arguments between the two Warlock slips away. Even though it means further draining himself, he frees his friends by short-circuiting the force-field around their prison. Having no choice but to leave him behind, the four mutants escape and try to make it out of the citadel. They split up to increase their chances that one of them might reach the American embassy, though Rahne can’t stand leaving a teammate behind and goes back to help Warlock. She reaches the lab complex just in time to stop Hodge from infusing himself with Warlock’s shapeshifting ability, but she can’t prevent his death and ends up in custody again. Meanwhile at the Xavier estate, X-Factor meets with the remaining X-Men and New Mutants, trying to find out what happened to the kidnapped mutants. Eventually they learn of their friends’ fate from the news when Genosha’s president makes a speech. She announces that Genosha considers the X-Men criminals of the state who will be brought to trial, and Warlock is reported to have been killed while trying to escape. Just as the X-teams plan to go to Genosha, they receive a call from Val Cooper that the president of the United States wants to see them. However, does he wants to help them or stop them from acting?
