They pretty much get beat down, but Santo does manage to sucker punch him...which actually staggers him. They pin him down for a very brief period of time...and the New X-Men get taken down.
Highlights:
Elixir overloads his Healing Factor using his powers. And X-23 slices his eyes.
This is pretty old...so none of the main New X-Men do much apart from Hellion. Who shields himself and his peers from Magma's lava. The Cuckoos eventually take out the Blob.
Rockslide holds of a Demon From Illyana's Limbo realm. While Pixie who is now an honorary member of the New X-Men sprinkles a little of her pixie dust at them which causes hallucinations.Rockslide also demonstrates that he can cause a literal Rockslide with his body...destroying his rock body.(He pulls himself back together later on)
Anole another new addition to the team...manages to strike Darkchild with his new arm, causing her to stop her Bloodstone spell on Pixie. Rockslide reforms using Limbo's molten rock and attacks Darkchild.(Who does possess a significant degree of strength.)
Mercury and Dust try their best to hold off Belasco....Elixir manages to "Death Touch" Belasco....it hurts him...but doesn't kill him.
Meanwhile Surge and Hellion are fending off demons in limbo...they head towards the castle and Hellion saves Dust in the nick of time. Surge attacks Belasco with Electricity, this does absolutely nothing...however she distracts him long enough for Hellion to TK Belasco into the ground. Belasco gains the upper hand and the other New X-Men arrive thanks to Pixie learning how to perform a magical teleport from Darkchild. There's a big old fashion brawl. The Cuckoos manage to harm Belasco telepthically...however his mind proves to strong to overwhelm. The New X-Men team up on Belasco and eventually Pixie manages to take Belasco out with her soul sword that Darkchild created from her.
Pixie knows how to teleport now...Dr. Strange might even take her as an apprentice when she's 18. We have her escape from Wolverine in one of his training sessions here.
this is great!...they seem so much better than the x-men, they work so muc hbetter as a team, especially since they aren't as powerful.
one character I've been curious is Nehzro, any scans of him in action, I missed the entire bellasco part of their story (until Iread this) and I went from them rescuing mercury straight to the aftermath of the belasco fight, so I have no idea who this guy is

New X-Men V2 #44 21st November 2007 (Writers: Craig Kyle and Christopher Yost, Artist: Humberto Ramos)
A group consisting of X-23, Hellion, Surge, Mercury, Pixie, Anole, Rockslide and Armour are teleported from the mansion to the Purifiers base in Washington D.C. by Pixies magical spell. They then sneak into the Purifiers headquarters. Hellion knocks a Purifier unconscious with a TK blast. Mercury raps her body around a Purifiers face so he suffocates and falls unconscious. Anole uses his camoflauge ability to infiltrate the Purifier base further without being detected in order to learn whether or not they have the Messiah Baby. He is grabbed by a depowered Rictor and demonstrates a martial arts throw.
The group deal with more Purifiers. Surge uses her electricity to torture a Purifier. Pixie attacks with her pixie dust, Hellion with TK blasts, X-23 with her claws, Mercury, Rockslide and Armour in her armoured up form brawl. Hellion then gets stabbed by Lady Deathstrike.

Rockslide enters into a brawl with a Reaver and Surge uses her electricity to blow a hole through another one. Rictor intervenes, buying a distraught Pixie enough time to teleport the New X-Men away from the Purifier Base.

The New X-Men start to question Scott's leadership when he decrees that they all should sit out of the loop for a while. We see Surge demonstrate her super speed, note the previous scans in the thread which show that her thought processing is directly proportional to the speed she's travelling. We also see Rockslide's body not get damaged after being hit by a very small concussive blast from a non-bloodlusted Scott.
