The issue opens with X-Force breaking into a S.H.E.I.L.D. helic-carrier.

Outside of the ship the team is breaking in while on the inside SHEILD is scrambling to see what is going on. X-Force separates into teams and enters the heli-carrier at different points. The different groups all make there way towards on place in the ship. During this time not much happens except for characterazation. Calibans fear of death, Siryn and Domino talking about Siryn's affection for Warpath, and Shatterstar losing his "edge". The team then converges at a place in the ship where there is a massive door. Working as a team they manage to pry open the door. Inside they find there objective, Cyclops, confined in very uncomfortable looking restraints. When X-Force goes to free Scott Summers X-Force finds the hostile resistance they had been waiting for. They also find that none other than G.W. Bridge is responsible for Cyclops' capture. Cable quicly uses a t.k. trick along with help from Cyclops and the resistance is quickly disposed of. Cable does what he had probably been waiting to do, knock out G.W. X-Force then makes there way to the blackbird which had been waiting cloaked. When they get in Scott happily finds his wife to be the pilot.

The final page of this issue shows a scene with Warpath. It is revelaed here that a woman named Risque saved him and nursed his wounds. Now they don't want to leave each other.
