In Axioms: Part 2, Hawk faces a nightmarish adversary: Thorne, a clone created from his DNA by Cloud, Lucius Black’s top scientist. The DNA, obtained by Unit 9 during a brutal desert confrontation in the last issue, was used to engineer Thorne—a militarized final Draconian form trapped in its monstrous state. Sharing Hawk’s memories but warped by confusion and trauma, Thorne infiltrates Hawk’s apartment, mistaking it for his own. Their clash escalates into a destructive battle that spills into the city streets. Outmatched and on the defensive, Hawk works to draw the fight away from civilians, all while piecing together the truth about Thorne’s unstable mind.

At Lucius Industries, Unit 9 is rewarded for his successful espionage at the A.R.M.S Institute, where he stole invaluable intel and secret files. Cloud’s experiments are hailed as a breakthrough, furthering Lucius’s dark ambitions. Meanwhile, Jinn and Yang, Lucius’s apprentices, undergo rejuvenation in hidden chambers beneath Lucius Industries. As they reflect on their roles within the Slayers, Yang remains unwaveringly loyal, while Jinn harbors growing doubts about their mission and Lucius’s true intentions.

Back at A.R.M.S, Lightspeed, the head of the organization, is left fuming over the breach. Disappointed in his team’s failure to prevent the attack, he vows to strengthen their defenses and ensure such a disaster never happens again.

With new enemies rising and hidden truths lurking in the shadows,
Hawk is forced into a battle not just for survival but for control over his own destiny. Axioms: Part 2 intensifies the stakes, weaving a web of loyalty, deception, and the haunting cost of power.
