Synopsis

Stryker has taken out Sentinel Squad ONE with a Nimrod gauntlet he is wearing and he and his Purifiers move through the mansion looking for mutants to kill. The X-Men and New X-Men fight back but Onyxx and Cannonball are badly injured and Quill is killed. A hitch appears in Stryker's plan as Dust, whom he believed to be dead, proves to be very much alive and devastates his troops (X-23 disguised herself as Sooraya last issue). Elixir corrupts his healing touch by killing Stryker with his powers and his whole body turns from gold to black. Nimrod comes on-line and seeks out Forge.
