H.E.A.R.T, a group of highly trained and heavily armed women, have been secretly hired by community leaders to hunt and kill the Ghost Rider. While evading H.E.A.R.T Ghost Rider disappears into the Morlock tunnels beneath Cypress Hills cemetery. He soon discovers that the Morlocks are responsible for the recent child abductions in the area. Seeking answers Ghost Rider learns that the Morlocks are trying to protect the children from Masque, who plans to use his powers to disfigure the children of the surface. Both H.E.A.R.T and Blackout track Ghost Rider to the tunnels and a hectic battle ensues. X-Factor also arrives and protects the children and the Morlocks in the ensuing battle. In the end, H.E.A.R.T retreats and Blackout is defeated, for now.
