History: (X-Force I Annual#3 (fb) - BTS) - The
Chinese mutant revolutionaries of 3-Peace traveled to T'ung-Ling, China
to meet with a mysterious benefactor in hopes of soliciting his aid freeing the
Chinese mutants imprisoned by their government.
(X-Force I Annual#3) - 3-Peace met in T'ung-Ling to
discuss their attempted revolution the following day. Unfortunately,
they were discovered by Snake, a member of the Chinese
government-sponsored superteam, China Force. A began battle but was
quickly ended by the mutant Reignfire, who revealed himself as the man
3-Peace had traveled there to meet. Reignfire announced his plans to
help 3-Peace define and achieve their goals in exchange for sharing any
new resources with Reignfire's terrorist Mutant Liberation Front
organization. Once he regained unconsciousness, Snake returned to his
Chinese government masters and explained how Reignfire had interfered
with his capture attempt, prompting the government agents to express
disdain for 3-Peace. Worried what could happen if 3-Peace were allowed
to recruit more mutants to their cause, the Chinese government agents
asked Snake if his China Force team were prepared to quell 3-Peace's
opposition to the Chinese government. Four days later, 3-Peace joined
with Reignfire's Mutant Liberation Front to investigate a Chinese
military satellite tracking station outside of Shanghai in an attempt
to learn where the country's mutants were being kept. When Nuwa and the
MLF's Feral snuck into the tracking station by disabling the guards,
they were ambushed by China Force. The rest of 3-Peace arrived shortly
after, with the Collective Man pulling Snake in five different
directions while Jade Dragon and the MLF's Forearm knocked China Force
member Ox aside. Moonstar then disabled Rat with a psionic arrow and
Reignfire killed Rabbit, reminding Moonstar that sometimes, an example
in fear had to be made. Four hours later, after Nuwa retrieved the
needed information from the tracking station's databases, Reignfire
spoke with 3-Peace about their motivations and Jade Dragon insisted
3-Peace was not the group of naive idealists that Reignfire thought
they were. As they discussed recent events amongst themselves, 3-Peace
was unaware of Danielle Moonstar's thoughts that 3-Peace had asked the
fox to watch the henhouse by requesting aid from the MLF. The following
morning, 3-Peace and the MLF stormed the Citizen's Rehabilitation
Center, where they witnessed Reignfire brutually rendered all of the
guards unconscious. Following the guards' defeat, Nuwa pointed out that
Reignfire's harsh actions seemed contradictory to 3-Peace's goals but
Reignfire was quick to remind 3-Peace that there were times when harsh
actions must be taken to ensure the future of mutantkind. Making their
way inside, 3-Peace and the MLF located the main detention holding wing
and busted their way inside, only to find themselves faced with the
Chinese government and China Force. Realizing they had been led into a
trap, 3-Peace questioned why Reignfire would do such a thing, only to
learn that Reignfire had considered 3-Peace expendable and that the
Chinese government were in a better position to give Reignfire what he
wanted. After deducing that Reignfire had betrayed them shortly after
killing China Force's Rabbit, 3-Peace announced that they would not
abandon their dreams before escaping outside, where they were met by
the MLF's Feral and Moonstar. Nuwa immediately took out Feral but
Moonstar warned that while she didn't wish for things to come that far,
she couldn't let them escape. Knowing that Moonstar's ways did not
always match Reignfire's, 3-Peace pleaded with Moonstar to let them
pass and Moonstar ultimately relented, allowing 3-Peace to escape under
the ruse of being knocked unconscious by Nuwa.
