Previously in Ultimate X-men: After the X-men's battle with Steganos, They were left beaten and bruised. Now it seems they may be going into round two, as Steganos plans to hijack the Apollo mach 4's launch, to retrieve the bullet which Kitty Pryde is trapped in.

Issue 3: Hope Part 3

-NASA, Launching bay-

"Scott! It looks like he has already torn through here, he must be on the ship by now!" said Emma. "Okay! Lets get him out of it" said Scott. "No Scott. If he is going to bring Kitty home, I cannot and will not let you do this" said Colossus. "No Pete, we don't have time for this" said Cyclops. "NO" Shouted Colossus. He punched Cyclops in the stomach, winding him. "ughn... Emma stop him..." he said. "How dare you!" Shouted Emma. She then flourished her arm dramatically, and telepathically knocked Colossus out. "Armor, stay behind with him, he will be out cold until I return him to consciousness, so don't worry" said Emma. "What? I totally wanted to come with" said Armor. "No. Stay here" said Emma. "Fine" said Armor, and she folded her arms and stuck out her bottom lip. As Emma, Cyclops and Wolverine ran down the corridor towards the Rocket.

-Aboard the Ship-

"Stop right there!" Shouted Cyclops. "Ah, the X-men, I was hoping you would come along for the ride.. strap in" said Steganos. And with that, he pushed a button. Suddenly the ship kicked into gear, the three x-men were slammed to the floor of the ship, unable to move as the unbearable friction vibrated all around them. A few moments later it slowed, as the ship made it into atmosphere. "okay.. X-men, before you decide to attack me. I would like to tell you this. The bullet is only for my home planet, so they can work on it, and gain new technologies themselves. Let me have the bullet, you can have its "precious cargo" said steganos. "No Steganos.. I don't believe you" said Cyclops. "He smells all right" said Logan. "I cant read any lying in there Scott, he is telling the truth" said Emma. "Fine. But you better keep your promise" said Cyclops. "oh, I will" said Steganos.

-Meanwhile. NASA-

"PUT YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR MUTIE!" Shouted the guards. "wha?" said Armor. "I am an X-man!" said Armor. "I am here to help!" she said. "Whatever.. how do we not know you were working with the Alien. "Well.. I aint no Alien" said Armor. "PUT YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR! OR WE WILL SHOOT!" The guards shouted once more. "Sheesh alright" said Armor. "Syke" she shouted. Then she transformed into her Armoured form, and punched the guards away. She then scooped up Colossus, smashed through the wall. Then, began to make a break for it.
