After the New Mutants are permitted to land on the planet, thanks to Spyder’s orders, Mirage runs away, only to be attacked by a group of bizarre aliens, however she manages to turn them against each other and escape - only to run into another group of strange aliens. Gosamyr causes more trouble for the New Mutants, while Warlock tries to get Magik to help him expose Gosamyr for the fake that they both know she is, instead Magik tries to reach the hurt Wolfsbane, until Wolfsbane receives a psychic cry that Mirage is in trouble. Not knowing where to begin looking for her, Magik teleports everyone to Mirage’s location, even though it means going via Limbo. Arriving just in time to save Mirage, the New Mutants battle the aliens, and during the fight Magik realizes something is definitely wrong with Limbo and her powers, as she accidentally transforms an alien into a monster. Cannonball and Sunspot battle over Gosamyr when an alien tries to kidnap her, but the feud is settled when Magik shoves her sword into Gosamyr, revealing her true, hideous alien form. Debate rages amongst the young heroes as to whether or not Magik should have done that, and Warlock reveals what he knows about Gosamyr’s race. Sunspot is still smitten with Gosamyr and promises to save her family, so Gosamyr leads them to the location of her family, which happens to be where Spyder is keeping Lila Cheney - and the New Mutants are then captured! Back on Earth, the White Queen informs Magneto that the Hellions told her the New Mutants are on a rescue mission to save Lila who was kidnapped by some alien invaders, before suggesting that he join her at the Hellfire Club, as there have been some perplexing events happening in New York which require their attention. Magneto agrees, but he is very angry with his young charges, and decides on a better way to protect them….
