Synopsis: NOTE: this is part of the Inferno crossover, and occurs during New Mutants 72.
Demons have overrun Times Square. N'Astirh gives Artie and Leech to Crotus to eat, but Taki punches him out with his wheelchair. He gets Artie to pull the plug on the computer, which is keeping the portal open, but Crotus plugs it back in.
The X-Terminators have got free and are attacked by demons. Taki creates a flying machine around them all, and blasts off into the sky to disrupt the portal. Demons follow and break the ship into individual ships; Taki is captured again. Skids pulls a baby out of the pentagram, and with the help of Leech, Rusty, and the New Mutants.
The New Mutants go to free the rest of the babies, while the X-Terminators go to free Taki. N'Astirh takes control of Taki and makes him operate the computer, to create spells to attack S'ym. Taki is able to multiply the spell out of control, so that it attacks N'Astirh, as well. Rictor saves Taki from N'Astirh, who decides to let S'ym make him techno-organic, so he can absorb the computer and have its abilities himself. But Taki restrains the computer, keeping it normal, and the stress causes an explosion.
The New Mutants have the babies; N'Astirh and the portal are gone. Taki is hurt, but a hero.
