Chapter Summaries

Ye Mo endured Klaue’s maximum-output sonic cannon to shield the injured T’Challa, using his Steel Bone enhancement to stay standing. As T’Challa recovered and attacked from the flank, Ye Mo charged Klaue and broke the platform’s support, leaving Klaue off balance and T’Challa poised to strike.

• Klaue set the sonic cannon to maximum power and fired at Ye Mo, who stayed in place to protect T’Challa and Emma Frost.
• Ye Mo activated his Skeletal Enhancement and epidermal keratin metallization fragments, hardening his body to withstand the sonic waves.
• Ye Mo held his ground despite his injuries, while T’Challa regained his strength and shifted through the rubble toward Klaue.
• Ye Mo taunted Klaue, then charged through the sonic attack as T’Challa burst from the rubble to flank him.
• Ye Mo rammed the platform’s support pillar and snapped it, sending the platform tilting as Klaue dropped the remote and T’Challa aimed his claws at Klaue’s throat.

Ye Mo endured Klaue’s sonic cannon to protect T'Challa, then joined forces with T'Challa and Emma Frost to disrupt Klaue’s attack. With the mercenaries thrown into confusion and the cannon’s weak point prepared, Ye Mo stood ready to strike its base.

• Ye Mo activated his Steel Bone defense and endured Klaue’s maximum-output sonic assault while shielding T'Challa.
• Ye Mo charged Klaue and toppled the platform, but Klaue’s mercenaries opened covering fire as the sonic cannon continued running.
• Emma Frost sent psychic interference at Klaue and his key subordinates, disrupting their commands and briefly breaking the mercenaries’ coordinated fire.
• T'Challa attacked the mercenaries while Ye Mo found a crack in the sonic cannon’s cooling-pipe joint and wedged an alloy fragment into it.
• Emma Frost continued interfering with Klaue as Ye Mo raised his fist over the cannon’s base, ready to strike.

Okoye and the Wakandan guards overwhelmed Klaue’s mercenaries after Ye Mo protected T'Challa from a sonic blast. Klaue escaped in a concealed stealth aircraft, and the group returned to base, knowing the conflict was not over.

• T'Challa thanked Ye Mo for absorbing the sonic blast, while Okoye’s guards surrounded Klaue.
• Klaue activated a hidden aircraft and escaped before Ye Mo or T'Challa could stop him.
• T'Challa declined to pursue Klaue and thanked Ye Mo and Emma Frost for their help.
• Ye Mo, Emma Frost, T'Challa, and Okoye left the square for the base as the guards cleared the battlefield.

Klaue escaped the fight in a hidden high-speed aircraft, but Ye Mo used Spatial Perception to track him into the mountains. Ye Mo, T'Challa, and Emma Frost pursued him as Klaue's aircraft warned of danger closing in.

• Klaue activated a concealed aircraft beneath the sonic cannon platform and escaped as T'Challa's strike missed.
• Ye Mo used Spatial Perception to locate Klaue's aircraft, and Emma Frost offered a weak psychic link to help track it.
• Ye Mo, T'Challa, and Emma Frost left the square and chased Klaue toward the mountains.
• Ye Mo tracked Klaue through the terrain despite the aircraft's evasive maneuvers, while T'Challa accelerated ahead.
• Klaue flew deeper into the mountains as his aircraft sounded an alarm warning that danger was approaching.

Ye Mo, T'Challa, and Emma Frost pursued Klaue through the mountains along Wakanda's border, using spatial perception and a mental link to track his aircraft. As Klaue deployed decoys and atmospheric interference, Ye Mo pushed through the storm and led the group north, leaving them still chasing him through the rain.

• Ye Mo activated Spatial Perception, found Klaue's aircraft, and set off with T'Challa and the exhausted Emma Frost.
• Ye Mo led the group through the forest and across a river by following the thermal updraft from Klaue's exhaust.
• When Klaue created false heat sources, Emma identified the aircraft's steadier energy signature and directed the pursuers toward a ridge.
• Klaue triggered an unnatural thunderstorm that disrupted Ye Mo's perception, so Ye Mo relied on logic and continued north.
• Ye Mo, T'Challa, and Emma pressed on through the wind and rain as Klaue's aircraft remained ahead of them.

After Klaue escaped, T'Challa thanked Ye Mo and Emma Frost and invited them to Wakanda as partners. As they traveled toward the capital, Ye Mo sensed an unnatural energy in a dark tunnel and spotted a pair of eyes watching him.

• During the convoy ride, Ye Mo's system detected high-purity vibranium nearby, and the Gene Spiral Tower stirred in response.
• When the convoy entered a tunnel and the lights went out, Ye Mo sensed an unnatural energy and saw cold eyes watching him from the darkness.

Ye Mo, Emma Frost, and T'Challa visited Wakanda's vibranium vein, where Ye Mo sensed the ore resonating with his Gene Spiral Tower. After returning to the surface, Ye Mo left Wakanda considering the deeper connection and possible future cooperation.

• T'Challa drove Ye Mo and Emma Frost through a long underground tunnel and welcomed them to Wakanda's advanced city.
• T'Challa took Ye Mo and Emma Frost by sonic-resonance elevator to Wakanda's vibranium vein and explained the ore's properties.
• Emma Frost sensed unusual energy waves from the vibranium, while Ye Mo felt its energy resonate with a dormant level of his Gene Spiral Tower.
• Ye Mo examined several vibranium samples discreetly as the resonance grew stronger, while Emma discussed her observations with T'Challa.
• Ye Mo and T'Challa spoke of future cooperation after the tour, and Emma told Ye Mo she sensed the vibranium was drawing him in.

Ye Mo returned to Wakanda’s Silent Zone and touched a dark red piece of raw vibranium, triggering a violent surge of energy. He broke through the Gene Spiral Tower’s seventh-floor barrier and awakened a new power, then stood with Emma Frost and T'Challa as the hall returned to calm.

• Ye Mo told T'Challa and Emma Frost that the vibranium vein seemed to call to him, and T'Challa agreed to take them to the Silent Zone.
• Ye Mo approached the floating dark red vibranium and touched it, causing a massive energy torrent to surge through his body.
• Ye Mo endured the pain and absorbed the energy as the hall shook, Emma Frost’s Telepathy failed, and T'Challa tried to shield him from falling debris.
• The seventh-floor barrier of Ye Mo’s Gene Spiral Tower shattered, and his silvery-white glow turned gold as he awakened a new ability.
• Ye Mo returned to the floor as the tremors ceased, and T'Challa recognized that he had activated something.

Ye Mo unlocked Vibranium Sense and used it to find a hidden vibranium fragment in Wakanda’s royal collection. T'Challa accepted him as an ally and began discussing Wakanda’s defenses against Klaue, while Ye Mo prepared for the challenges ahead.

• Ye Mo recommended randomized border patrols, psychic sensing, and training sentries to recognize traces on the ground.
• T'Challa led Ye Mo and Emma Frost out of the Silent Zone as Ye Mo reflected on his new power and the challenges ahead.

Ye Mo and Emma Frost persuaded T'Challa to establish a Wakandan intelligence network to monitor mutants, superpowered individuals, and other threats. As the new group prepared to investigate, Ye Mo sensed that the device he had taken from the square linked Klaue to a larger force.

• Ye Mo proposed a Wakandan “black box” that would collect and analyze intelligence without surrendering control of military decisions.
• Emma Frost explained how scattered reports and her Telepathy could help detect emerging threats, while T'Challa questioned who would operate the system and how it would be secured.
• T'Challa established the Special Intelligence Group, appointed Ye Mo and Emma Frost as chief advisers, and ordered encryption safeguards and training for Emma.
• Outside the Silent Zone, Ye Mo sensed a strange energy signal in the listening device he had taken and suspected someone had been directing events behind Klaue.

Wounded after escaping Wakanda, Ulysses Klaue agreed to cooperate with Hydra in exchange for equipment, troops, and support for another attempt to obtain vibranium. Meanwhile, Ye Mo detected abnormal energy fluctuations to the northwest and set out to investigate.

• Ulysses Klaue hid in an abandoned warehouse and blamed Black Panther and Ye Mo for ruining his attempt to steal vibranium.
• A disguised Hydra agent offered Klaue a sonic jammer prototype, an elite squad, and payment in exchange for helping secure vibranium.
• Klaue agreed to join Hydra but negotiated autonomy in operations against Wakanda.
• After the Hydra agent left, Klaue called another contact and requested more support and intelligence from inside Wakanda.
• Ye Mo received a system alert about abnormal energy fluctuations to the northwest, messaged Emma Frost, and went to investigate.

Ye Mo used unstable telepathy to intercept Klaue’s memories and discovered that Klaue had made a deal with Hydra for sonic shielding technology and elite support to steal Wakandan vibranium. He warned Emma Frost and sent an emergency call to T’Challa, drawing himself and Emma into the coming conflict.

• Ye Mo scanned Klaue’s thoughts from a nearby water tower and endured a painful surge of intercepted memories.
• Ye Mo learned that Klaue and Hydra had exchanged access to Wakanda’s resources for sonic disruptor technology and an elite squad.
• Ye Mo told Emma Frost what he had discovered and said he would contact T’Challa directly.
• Emma agreed to monitor for nearby minds while Ye Mo prepared to warn T’Challa.
• Ye Mo sent an emergency connection request to T’Challa.

T'Challa led Ye Mo and Emma Frost on a Wakandan assault to recover a vibranium sample from Klaue's secret base before Hydra could act. The team reached the abandoned factory and prepared to enter, while Ye Mo's Vibranium Sense warned that danger lay ahead.

• Ye Mo confirmed to T'Challa that Klaue's forces and an elite Hydra squad planned to strike that night, and Emma Frost reported that their psychic link remained active.
• T'Challa summoned Ye Mo and Emma Frost to Wakanda, where they agreed to take the initiative and attack Klaue's base.
• T'Challa assigned Ye Mo to breach the defenses and locate the sample, while Emma Frost would disrupt communications and monitor the enemy's minds.
• T'Challa ordered Okoye to assemble the royal guardswomen and decided to keep Hydra's involvement from S.H.I.E.L.D. for the time being.
• Ye Mo, Emma Frost, and T'Challa flew to the northwestern border and used Vibranium Sense to locate the base in an abandoned factory.
• The three approached the factory gates, where Ye Mo sensed hidden dangers, and T'Challa ordered the team to go in.

Ye Mo joined T'Challa and Emma Frost at the front of the assault on Klaue's factory, using his Vibranium Sense to guide their entry. After an automated defense system attacked them, T'Challa drew its fire while Ye Mo ran to locate its control hub with Emma covering him.

• Ye Mo insisted on leading the assault, and T'Challa appointed him deputy commander while Emma Frost agreed to cover his blind spots.
• Ye Mo sensed traps, snipers, and a brief safe window at the factory gates, then T'Challa kicked the gates open.
• Ye Mo charged into the factory first as Emma Frost shielded him psychically and T'Challa followed.
• Emma Frost warned Ye Mo about a laser, and he dodged it as T'Challa asked him to find the defense system's control hub.
• Ye Mo located the hub and sprinted toward it while T'Challa drew the system's fire and Emma Frost covered Ye Mo.

Ye Mo, T'Challa, and Emma Frost fought through the base's automated defenses to reach the central control hub. After T'Challa disabled the system, Ye Mo told them to open the cylindrical device holding the samples.

• Ye Mo detected an infrared sensor and led T'Challa and Emma Frost through a backup passage into the sample storage hall.
• The hall's automated defenses activated, attacking the three with lasers and missiles.
• Ye Mo drew the defenses' fire while Emma Frost and T'Challa advanced toward the control hub.
• Ye Mo blocked a powerful laser strike aimed at T'Challa and Emma Frost, and T'Challa severed the main cable to shut down the defense system.
• Ye Mo told T'Challa to open the cylindrical device, then examined a blinking miniature listening device.

Ye Mo used Ice Manipulation to freeze the exposed cables, disabling the laser grid and missile system so he, T'Challa, and Emma Frost could cross the hall. They reached the corridor to the main control room, where Ye Mo sensed stronger defenses and the real challenge ahead.

• Ye Mo warned T'Challa that pulling the severed cable could let the backup power reactivate the defenses, and said the laser grid would make a direct crossing impossible.
• Ye Mo used his Ice Manipulation Ability to freeze the high-voltage cables, causing the main power line to fail and preventing the backup power from reaching the lasers and missile system.
• T'Challa helped steady the weakened Ye Mo, and the three crossed the disabled laser grid.
• Ye Mo led T'Challa and Emma Frost toward the independently powered corridor to the main control room and warned that stronger defenses awaited them.
• Ye Mo entered the corridor first, sensing that the seventh floor of his Gene Spiral Tower was still processing the power he had used.

Ye Mo, Emma Frost, and T'Challa infiltrated a heavily monitored corridor and reached a hall containing their target. The chapter ended as Ye Mo leaped from a ventilation duct into the center of the hall.

• Ye Mo and T'Challa identified the corridor's scanning system, and Emma Frost agreed to mask their presence with her telepathy.
• Ye Mo used a modified signal jammer while Emma Frost shielded the group, helping them evade the corridor's surveillance.
• The three reached the guarded antechamber and entered a ventilation duct through a surveillance blind spot.
• Ye Mo, Emma Frost, and T'Challa crawled above the main control console and spotted technicians, mercenaries, and a glowing cylindrical device below.
• Ye Mo pushed open the duct grille and leaped into the center of the hall.

Ye Mo, T'Challa, and Emma Frost defeated the mercenaries and technicians guarding Klaue's facility, then entered the main control room. They found the glowing data core and prepared to inspect its contents, with reinforcements still a possibility.

• T'Challa shielded Ye Mo from gunfire and quickly took down several mercenaries in the hall.
• Ye Mo called out the technicians trying to trigger an emergency system, and Emma Frost made them lose their balance and electrocute themselves.
• Ye Mo disabled the ceiling turret with a modified Hydra device while T'Challa finished off the remaining mercenaries.
• Ye Mo used a signal jammer to bypass the two guards, and T'Challa broke open the main control room door.
• Ye Mo, T'Challa, and Emma Frost entered the control room and found the data core Klaue had been protecting.
