 * Plot**

Time passes following the seniors' fight with the Brotherhood of Mutants. The team has been recognized as the New X-Men, and are congratulated by other X-Men who are busy with various problems (Storm, Rogue, Gambit, etc.). They now have the undisputed right to run the school. A week later, during class on a Friday afternoon, graduate of Xavier's school named Michael (code name "Discord") arrives and offers to help. Before discussion can take place, a van slams into the front gate. Emerging is an insect-like woman and a number of Brood warriors. The New X-Men, with Discord’s help, defeat the Brood. That night, Michael convinces one of the prefects (Meghan) and Billy to go to a club in New York City. Michael once dated Meghan and seems interested in rekindling that relationship. While Michael is at the club in New York City, he is approached by his boss, Mystique. He is told he did a good job and he is “in” the Brotherhood. It is revealed that Mystique has kidnapped Billy! A smoke bomb goes off in the boy’s room, allowing the members of the Brotherhood to escape, but the New X-Men (Phantasma, Mustang, and Panzer) are hot on their heels. Meanwhile, at the mansion, Ruth has a vision of Billy’s kidnapping. Ruth says he is the omega-level mutant at school. And now he’s in Mystique’s clutches…
