Synopsis for "The End of the Beginning"
At Xavier’s School, the security system detects an intruder in the Danger Room. Cable and the New Mutants enter to find a swordsman named Shatterstar battling training robots. The team tries to talk him down, but he refuses to listen, fighting them off one by one until Cable knocks him out. Feral watches from a ventilation duct as they carry Shatterstar to the infirmary. After they leave, armored troops teleport in to locate and kill him. Meanwhile, Masque and two Morlock henchmen sneak into the bunker to retrieve Feral. In the infirmary, Shatterstar explains that he comes from Mojoworld a century in the future. He was sent to find the X-Men and get their help in overthrowing Mojo V and his Imperial Protectorate. Boom-Boom goes to the kitchen and comes upon Feral who attacks. Boom-Boom fends her off and, once the rest of the team enters, she explains she is on the run from Masque. Shatterstar detects the Protectorate troops’ arrival and goes to the Danger Room with Domino and Warpath to fight them. Feral and the others soon join them, unaware Masque and his lackeys are in the building. The New Mutants defeat the Protectorate soldiers, and Shatterstar kills one that is restraining hm by impaling them both with his sword. Masque appears and demands Feral’s return, but Cable shoots and kills one of his henchmen and tells him to leave. Later, Cable gathers the New Mutants and tells them Feral and Shatterstar have joined, but the team needs to leave the school. Too many of their enemies know where they are, and Cable’s methods put them at odds with X-Factor and the X-Men. Cannonball renames the team X-Force. Later, he and Boom-Boom discuss their reasons for sticking with Cable and share a romantic moment. After packing their things, X-Force departs. At the Mutant Liberation Front’s headquarters, Stryfe sends a strike team to Genosha to carry out an attack in retaliation for the country’s treatment of mutants. After they leave, he removes his helmet, revealing he looks identical to Cable.
