Summary

  Skids and Locus have been in Pandemonia's dungeon on Mt. Sorcista in Latveria since iss. 80. She enthralls them and plans to escape her confinement take over the world. She easily subdues X-Force, except for Sam, Dani, and Jesse, who are out.

  They return. Pandemonia is forbidden by treaty with Asgard to enthrall Dani, but she orders X-Force to attack her. Sam blasts away with her and Jesse before the fight starts.

  Desperate, they go to an occult bookstore for help and find Benchley, who brings them to Kale, an apprentice of the Atlantean sorcerer Dakihm. She identifies Pandemonia from the sigil inscribed on her victims' foreheads.

  They all go to rescue X-Force: Theresa knocks down Jesse, Dani psionically stabs Jimmy, and Sam has a good excuse to hit Bobby. Kale breaks Pandemonia's spells, but she counter-attacks. Dani somehow is able to release mystical power and blasts the demoness, and Kale sends her back to the Chaos dimension. Locus ports away, and Dani is still glowing.

  Domino questions Dr. Leonard about the Aguilar Institute and learns about the mutant children in Almost Reno (iss. 77).
