X-Men: Ronin #5

Issue Details

Synopsis

At the former site of the X-Mansion, police officers discover that all of the Sentinel pilots are dead, including Forge. They report this back to Chief Yoshida. Shiro doesn’t even see this as a setback, and suggests they immediately start rebuilding and start recruiting again. As time goes on, more and more mutants are arrested for so-called “interrogation,” even if they weren’t doing anything wrong. The X-Men and Toad now operate from under the ruins of the former Salem Center station, where they are joined by their friend, Psylocke. Betsy informs the heroes about the current turn of events, and she wants to do something about it. After Toad helps Jean train her powers a bit more, they rush into the city where they see how mutants Sam and Paige Guthrie rescue themselves from attacking cops. While Psylocke brings the two to Sensei Toad’s, Scott and Ororo go rescue the other captured mutants. Wolverine takes Jean with him to do something else. Meanwhile at the Hellfire Club, a party is going on. Xavier welcomes his new partners, Jason Wyngarde and Shiro, at his club. He discusses an agreement with Shiro to help build his new breed of Sentinels. Emma thinks her father won’t include either her or Tessa into his Inner Circle and angrily runs out, despite Tessa’s warnings not to. Emma is found by both Wolverine and Jean. Logan gives Emma the final chance to turn herself in and clear things up again, but she refuses. That’s fine by Logan, who in return kills Emma with his claws! Later at the X-Men’s new underground lair, Cyclops and Wolverine prepare lots of new recruits for the upcoming hard times. Storm gets out, hoping she can convince her friend, Forge, to join their ranks. Storm goes back to the place she and Forge had their first date, unaware of the fact Forge is actually dead.
