Kitty Pryde receives a letter from Japan with a photo of Puff, a dragon not unlike her own Lockheed, telling her to "come alone and bring [her] dragon." Upon arriving near Tokyo, Kitty is approached by Ryoko Oshiba, an agent for the Japanese Department of Supernatural Sciences, who has an interest in Puff, and knows of her recent correspondence. She informs Kitty of her group's history with the dragon, and of who stole her from their custody: a possible splinter group of The Hand called The Path of Destiny. As Kitty watches video of the ninja infiltrator, she notices his eyes greatly resemble those of her one-time master, Ogun.
Back in her hotel room, Kitty takes some time time to ponder this new information, and decides to take a walk in the nearby district. Several hours later, Kitty is attacked in what seems to be a random, but with her Wolverine-trained and ninja-honed martial arts, and the last-minute intervention of Lockheed, she is able to fend off her assailants. They head back to their home, where the ninja who hired them phases through a wall, makes quick work of the group, and burns down the building in an attempt to cover The Path's tracks. He assures his master, who asks if "the cat still has her claws", that it does appear that she has retained all of her skills, and that he is prepared to hunt her down.
