Summary

  Shinobi has Graves experiment on Nga, trying to remove her mutancy. Intruder alert: Clearcut and Mindmeld go to confront X-Force. (Compare the cover Domino with p. 5! Anime schmanime.) Mindmeld puts Domino's mind into Caliban and Meltdown into Sunspot.

  Sunspot-Meltdown confuse each other, and Clearcut threatens to kill Domino's body (and slips a key into her belt), so all surrender.

  Shinobi offers to take Sunspot as an ally; he refuses; Shinobi gives the Manhs to Spiral, then reveals that Clearcut is a traitor. Mindmeld puts her own mind into him to subdue him, and this releases Domino and Meltdown. Domino frees them both using Clearcut's key.

  Clearcut somehow forces Mindmeld to stay in his body; Shinobi puts them both in the lab, to let Graves remove Clearcut's mutancy.

  X-Force attacks and destroys the lab. Mindmeld gets back to her own body, only to find an inhibitor collar on her. Graves shows no mutant factor in Clearcut, but he is still able to manifest blades at will (he never was a mutant). They leave the exploding lab, and Clearcut says his debt to Cable is paid in full.
