Synopsis for ""Forging the Sword - Part 2: With a Little Help From My Friends""
Professor X and Magneto continue their discussion of the current state of mutant affairs when they are interrupted by the arrival of Callisto. She attacks Magneto with ceramic blades which are immune to his powers. Wicked intervenes by summoning her ghosts, which Callisto quickly dispatches. Freakshow comes to Wicked's aid, but is stalled in his attack when he regurgitates Unus, whom he swallowed in the previous issue. Unus runs away and returns to his team which is hiding out in the statue of Magneto and Professor X. Callisto decides to stick around on Genosha and assist Magneto and the Professor with their efforts. Meanwhile, in Unus' hideout, the teleporter Hub receives a telepathic visit from her friend Hack who warns her of an impending attack from an Omega Sentinel.
Notes
- Toad appears in this issue, still sporting an injured tongue which was cut off by Wolverine in Wolverine (Vol. 2) #167.
- Callisto confesses that she loves the mutated, tentacled arms which she received from Masque in X-Treme X-Men.
