Description
In Scotland, Moira MacTaggert saves Rahne Sinclair, a young mutant werewolf from a lynch mob and brings her to Xavier’s school. Xavier is still depressed, due to the seeming death of the X-Men, but finally decides to help both Rahne and another new student, Xi’an Coy Manh. In the meantime, Donald Pierce of the Hellfire Club has decided to kill several young mutants, among them Brazilian teenager Roberto daCosta, who has just discovered his solar-fueled super-strength, Kentucky born Sam Guthrie, who discovered his powers during a mine cave-in and Cheyenne Danielle Moonstar, whose psychic powers are hard to control. Pierce decides though that he can use Guthrie and hires him first. Xavier receives a letter from Danielle’s grandfather, asking him to help his mutant granddaughter. He, Moira and the girls arrive to find that Black Eagle has already been killed by the Hellfire Club, whose guards now attack them. Together with Danielle, they prove a match for the guards and learn from them about the other teenagers Pierce has targeted. They decide to split up: Xavier and Rahne are to look for Sam Guthrie, while Moira, Shan and Dani fly to Brazil. After a run-in with the police, Dani and Shan follow Roberto, who sneaks out at night. The Hellfire mercs have kidnapped his girlfriend and he offers himself up to them. The girls try to help and, in the ensuing battle, Roberto’s girlfriend, Juliana, is killed. In the meantime, in Kentucky, Rahne and Xavier are attacked by Sam and Xavier gets captured. Rahne secretly follows them to Pierce’s headquarters, where Pierce intends to extract Xavier’s and Tessa’s knowledge, turning them into vegetables. Rahne is joined by the others and, together, they fight the guards, Pierce and the confused Sam. Pierce seems to have the upper hand, until Rahne manages to switch off the power dampeners holding Xavier under control. Sam Guthrie switches sides after he learns that Pierce’s trying to kill the others. Xavier takes over Pierce’s mind and then leaves him to the Hellfire club’s mercies. Later, back at the mansion, he welcomes his new students, which include Sam Guthrie.
