X-Factor is called in to stop Spiral from destroying a village as she searches for Arize. After defeating her, she recounts her origin as Ricochet Rita, a stuntwoman who met and fell in love with Longshot. After joining him in his crusade she is captured and transformed by Mojo (through Arize coerced methods) into Spiral and then sent back in time to set her own former self on the path (thus creating a time loop).

In the distant future on Mojoworld, Shatterstar rules the world while the Spineless Ones attacks in a rebel uprising. In the not-quite-as-distant future on earth, Arize arrives to ask the future version of X-Force to help overthrow Shatterstar (unaware that Shatterstar is being manipulated behind the scenes by "the Board" and the Scheduler and has already begun to dislike the condition of his newly "free" world). Back on Mojoworld, X-Force and Arize attack along with rebel forces and (with Shatterstar's help) manage to take down the Scheduler and the Board. And in the distance of the celebrating crowd Cannonball almost catches a glimpse of what looks like an aged Longshot.
Whiz Kid, Artie, and Leech protect a young girl at their school.
This story takes place right after X-Force #10. Cable rounds up his crew to take an inventory on the known threats to X-Force. Some enemies are questionable, but Cable wants to make sure his team knows what to expect in the future.
Note: Oddly, the table of contents entitles the third story "X-Force Villain's Gallery." Not only is it the wrong title, but the grammar is off, too (unless the gallery does really belong to the villains).
