SPOILERS BEYOND THIS POINT!
Synopsis:
The Cabal yearns to capture a young woman who has the power of the Sight, the ability to view the Daemonite form of those they possess. The Cabal, consisting of Daemonites, knows that this young woman could destroy them all. Unfortunately for them, the WildC.A.T.s are also after this young woman, Voodoo, so they could use her power to fight against the Daemonites. The two factions converge to where Voodoo works, in a strip bar near Washington DC, and battle each other. The WildC.A.Ts emerge victorious, even gaining new members in the event, but a Coda assassin detonates herself, causing everyone to seemingly explode.
