Plot Summary
Maverick arrives at a church in Barcelona where he finds that the priests have been killed. As he searches the hallways, he finds Sabretooth. Sabretooth attacks Maverick, all the while asking if he knows why he is doing what he’s doing. Birdy used to help him, but she was killed, so he has no release. He escapes but tells Maverick to figure out who has been killed, then he will know why. Maverick knows that there is only one man who can stop the killing. Meanwhile, Kurt Geinstach meets with Garabed Bashur of the Executive Elite; he wants him to help protect himself from Sabretooth. Bashur suggests Wolverine or Maverick, as both have close ties to Sabretooth. He suggests that he contact Maverick, and do it fast. In New York, Rogue and Gambit drive toward the mansion, while Maverick secretly watches them. They enter the school and are met by Bishop; he thought they were intruders. As they discuss the situation, Maverick attacks, quickly taking out Gambit and Rogue. He surveys the scene and comes to Bishop. Before he could shoot him with more tranquilizers, Bishop grabs him but passes out as well. Beast and Professor Xavier then surprise Maverick. When Maverick tells them that he needs Logan, they agree to help, as Wolverine is currently not with the X-Men. Meanwhile, Creed meets with Bashur; he wants information, specifically a telepath. Bashur knows of one, an old man in Japan at the Yashida estate. After Creed leaves, Bashur contacts the X-Men, for Geinstach, specifically looking for Maverick. He tells them were Sabretooth is heading and whom he was killing. The team splits up; Rogue, Gambit and Bishop go to Frankfurt, while Beast and Maverick head to Japan. When they land in Frankfurt they find dead guards and eventually they also find Geinstach, dead. Sabretooth then attacks, taking out Gambit, but is caught by Rogue. As she punches him, Creed touches her face with his ungloved hand, resulting in her absorbing his memories. The flood of memories causes her to loose control. As Bishop prepares to take down Creed, he grabs Rogue as a hostage; Bishop lets him go. Beast and Maverick arrive in Japan and are greeted by Keniuchio Narada. Later that night, Sabretooth arrives, taking out a series of guards; he comes to the team, protecting the telepath he came to get. But he finds out that he was set up, the telepath hasn’t spoken sense the bombing in Hiroshima. He grabs the telepath anyway, but his thoughts overload the psychic’s mind, and he sends all of them into Creed’s mind. There, they witness him killing a couple in Japan and then their child. The link is then broken. As they awake they find Sabretooth gone, but Beast knows were he’s going: to see Xavier. Sabretooth arrives at the school, sneaking into the school he finds Xavier in the library. He attacks, but Charles stops him with a telepathic assault, stunning him. As he is about to attack again an energy weapon strikes him from behind. The team tracking him has arrived. Creed grabs Charles but Bishop shoots him in the head, knocking Creed out. Charles enters Creeds mind. He sees that everything Creed is, is centered on who he’s killed. The last memory Charles finds is of Creed as a child, chained in a cellar. His father wanting him to kill a rabbit, “only by killin’re you ever gonna survive.” Charles tells him he’s wrong, he has a choice. He also knows that Creed is hiding behind a façade of blamelessness. He will help, but not like Birdy. Later in the Danger Room, Creed and Charles talk by a projection of the boathouse dock. Creed thinks he’s a prisoner. Charles tells him it could be worse, but he will cure him of his murderous rampages and then Creed will pay for his crimes.

Sabretooth is on a killing spree, and the body count is rising. Maverick -- after a brief battle he is fortunate to survive -- realizes he's a bit out of his weight class. When it comes to taking down Sabretooth, he knows there's only one man for the job. Unfortunately, Logan is nowhere to be found. Instead, he recruits Rogue, Gambit, Bishop, and the bouncing Beast. They follow the trail of blood to Japan where they meet up with the Silver Samurai. In the end, however, it isn't brute force that wins the day but rather the mental strength of the world's most powerful telepath. In the end an uneasy truce is reached, one which is guaranteed to be short-lived.
Writer Fabian Niecieza and penciler Mike McKone combine to keep the action moving at a brisk pace in another enjoyable entry from this series.
