Description
Just as Rogue, Wolverine and Bishop arrive on Muir Island, the lab complex blows up right in front of them. Separated by the explosion, they try to hunt down the Brotherhood members. The Toad is easily defeated and Bishop finds Sabretooth just in time to stop him from killing Wolfsbane, who is stuck among the debris. Having absorbed some of the explosion’s force, Bishop has enough energy stored within himself to blast Sabretooth two times, knocking him out. He frees Wolfsbane, ordering her to search for Moira, and runs into what seems to be senator Kelly. Bishop and Kelly argue quite a bit about their views on mutants, until Wolverine interrupts, attacking “Kelly,” who is actually Mystique in disguise. However, Bishop was aware of this and had tried to get through to her with words, rather than violence. In the confusion, she slips away, leaving the two X-Men to search for the missing Moira. Finally, they find her among the ruins, badly wounded, possibly not to survive the day. However, Moira has disturbing news: Mystique’s tampering with the Legacy Virus gave her the right idea for a cure. Outside, Rogue witnesses Mystique use Forge’s Neutralizer Gun on the unsuspecting Wolfsbane, permanently negating her mutant powers. Mystique insanely explains that, once her Legacy Virus has killed all humans, Earth will truly belong to the mutant race and, with the Gun, she can keep them all in check. Rogue tries to reason with her adoptive mother, who at first seems to give in but then rams a knife into Rogue’s gut, leaving her for dead. When Bishop and Wolverine arrive, they are caught in a Mexican stand-off, Bishop ready to use shoot Mystique with his own weapon, while Mystique threatens to Neutralizer on Logan, which would kill him as his healing factor is tied to his life energies. The situation is solved by Rogue coming around and stabbing Mystique with the bone claws she absorbed from Logan.
