Synopsis:

"Fang and Claw"

(Jan. 1988, 23 pages)

The New Mutants on Bird-Brain's home island meet the Ani-mates and attempt to talk to them. They attack Bird-Brain, considering him a traitor because he befriended humans. When they see Rahne become a wolf, they befriend her.

Roberto and Warlock return to the mansion, and Magneto realizes that the rest of the team is missing.

Bird-Brain explains that he was being tested in a maze when he escaped. He now takes the New Mutants into the maze, where all are subdued by the Ani-mates.

Animus and Rahne debate scripture: he doesn't want his creations acting like men or have names, and he plans to kill those who have rebelled against him including Bird-Brain.
