Spoilers: 4th Century B.C.E. – Apocalypse is drawn to mutant twins in the English Channel.
Present – Captain Kate Pryde takes Captain Britain, Gambit, Jubilee and an unconscious Rogue aboard her ship on their way to the Braddock Lighthouse. Betsy intends to set up a Krakoan gate there as it was the seat of power of Excalibur for so long. The ship is attacked by the mythical Selkies. Betsy orders Kate to leave while she lures the Selkies away from the boat. Captain Britain, Gambit and Jubilee reach the Lighthouse site, with Betsy using her telekinesis to bring Rogue as well. They realize the lighthouse was destroyed. As the night falls, the three X-Men come across cloaked druids, but only Betsy is able to see them. One of the druids calls Betsy a ‘seer’ and shows her through a vision that Marianna Stern and Coven Akkaba have burned the lighthouse to the ground. The druids grant permission for the earth to bear the fruit of Krakoa, and so Krakoa grows a new lighthouse in place of the old one, with Rogue at the top acting as its beacon. While Gambit grows increasingly concerned about Rogue, and Jubilee about Shogo, the three of them decide to call it a night and get some sleep. Jubilee has a strange nightmare about Apocalypse taunting Shogo for being human. Meanwhile, Betsy dreams about a fiery wolf who brings her to an altar to Apocalypse that warns “He will use us. We can use him.” Jubilee uses the gates to bring Shogo to the lighthouse, while all three X-Men regroup. The druids return claiming to recognize Betsy’s title as Captain Britain and warning about their enemies of Coven Akkaba, who threaten the health of their lands. The Coven attacks the lighthouse, and a battles ensues. Apocalypse contacts Betsy telepathically and reveals that Coven Akkaba are former followers of his whom he abandoned because they thought themselves too superior. It is suggested that Apocalypse planted the gate in Morgan Le Fay’s castle so that a mutant could become the new Captain Britain, in turn claiming Britain and Otherworld as part of Krakoa. Apocalypse warns Betsy to return to Otherworld before it is too late to save Brian, while he and Rogue stay behind to defend the lighthouse. Gambit doesn’t want to leave Rogue, but Betsy convinces him to. Apocalypse volunteers to watch over Shogo, but Jubilee decides to take him to Otherworld as well. Captain Britain teleports Jubilee and Gambit to Otherworld. The three of them don high-fantasy versions of their costumes and immediately notice Shogo is missing. In his place, a fire-breathing Dragon appears.
“For so long, my life has been out of control. Chaos and serendipity, wrapped in insanity. I have suffered, I have lost. Not just my life, but my very soul, my self. But no more. Now I know who I am.” – Elizabeth ‘Betsy’ Braddock, daughter of Otherworld, mutant, telepath, telekinetic, defender of the realm and, above all, X-Man.

I guess the dragon is Shogo's otherworld form. Art was so good, Betsy looked stunning
Left shocked to what happened. Instead of answering, the issue raised more questions. I'm difficult to please and impress and I found it enjoyable and Tini Howard a crafty storyteller. She can be a modern Sehrazad.
This issue was really good, this book is killing it for me. It’s definitely one of the best Dawn of X books out there and really took me by surprise. I really like the character interactions, at first I thought the team was kinda an odd mix but they work great together and all their personalities compliment each other well. I also like how Tini is writing Jubilee’s character with more maturity while staying true to her character. She’s a mother now so it makes sense that she’s grown up more.
Psi Girl that! The person responsible for the X-Men comics has to listen and fix the power swap. In the beginning the body swap was the problem and got fixed with years of nagging. How many years of nagging Marvel requires to give back the butterfly to Betsy and the Psylocke code name. Their excuse will be a ''sorry we didn't know better than follow the money trail of sex sells.'' or cricket sounds.
The wolf may not be a creation of Betsy. People turn to magic creatures in the Otherworld. Only Hulk talks to third person. I can't imagine Betsy do the same she's too bright for that.
I have no flaw to attribute to the issue. The pace is good and the story picks up from where it was left. The cohesion in narration and the communication with the art is fantastic.
