Ulysses and Arcadia were corned in a Kentucky coal mind by Argos. The mutant Cannonball arrived to aid the pair and managed to break Argos' staff. Then the rest of Sword arrived to aid Argos.[3]

Argos was given a new staff and and he and his team confronted Cannonball, Ulysses, and Arcadia. Arcadia used her powers to summon X-Force.
