Arc Summary
Refusing to accept the loss of their best-trained and most effective operative, the illegal former military program, Mistra, spent two years trying to reclaim Nathan Dayspring. When outright violence nad threats failed, they resorted kidnapping his loved ones and brainwashing. Determined to bring Mistra down and stop the programming of young mutants into weapons, Nathan and the X-Men fought back, the war culminating in a massive assault on the Greek island of Youra. And when it appeared the lessons had not been learned and a new military program attempted to use Mistra technology and methods, is was the X-Men again who returned to Youra to shut things down when they went out of control.
