Summary

  While Rictor and Siryn take down Fitzroy, Warpath learns all about him from Bantam. Cable tricks Fitzroy into trying to drain his life-force through his metal arm, so Fitzroy's power drains himself instead and opens a portal, through which X-Force and Paige jump.

  Justice delivers Firestar to the Gamesmaster and finds that he has linked all his captives to him, so he cannot be attacked. The rest of the New Warriors attack Creed and threaten to expose him as a mutant collaborator (and progeny). He tells them the captives are being held in Shaw's Swiss chalet.

  X-Force appears in Shaw's Tokyo penthouse, where he is bathing. He likewise directs them to his Swiss chalet.

  Karma frees herself and the other captives. She has had Sienna under control, but the Gamesmaster overrides this and uses Sienna to attack them all.
