Synopsis for "Underground and Over the Top"

Inside X-Force's Adirondack base
Cable carries the lifeless body of Cannonball to the base medi-lab. Boom Boom provides the covers and stops Sauron from pursuing. Thornn tries to take Boom Boom out and Domino steps in and saves her. Cable sets Sam in the medi-lab and cannot understand why someone he thought would be a 'High-Lord' would be able to die. He finally realizes that if Sam's destiny is such, then he would not have to brood over his body and it would happen whether he likes it or not. Cable sees Sauron following him and shoots him down.

Outside
Phantazia scrambles the groups' thoughts and they do not realize that the Blob is directly in front of them. He attacks and Shatterstar finally harms him when he cuts his mouth. He has never been hurt and is stunned. Rather than fight X-Force he gets scared and jumps off a cliff.

Inside
Feral battles Sauron. She starts to make a mark and then Cable steps in and shoots him from behind. This act ticks off Thornn and she starts slashing at Cable and rips up his face, revealing a bionic face underneath. Masque and Phantazia start to run away and Cable yells at Shatterstar to stop him. He does by stabbing Masque in the chest and lifting him off the floor. The battle seems to be won, and then Samuel Guthrie appears and asks what is going on...
