To celebrate their defeat of the Syndicate exactly one year prior, Blaze, Adam, and Axel met for drinks.
The next morning, Axel received a frantic phone call from Eddie "Skate" Hunter, Adam's younger brother, with whom he lived on the outskirts of town.
Blaze and Axel found Adam and Skate's house destroyed, and a photo showing Adam chained to Mr. X's feet.
