Spoilers: The X-Corps drop the floating island on top of Selene, where the thrusters roast her alive. Sunspot joins the others to check if Selene is really dead. Selene resurrects herself and declares that no child will ever be able to kill her.
In reality, Selene is trapped in a stasis chamber developed by Wiz-Kid, Trinary, Tempo, and Somnus. Mirage explains that keeping Selene alive but pacified is the best way to contain her, despite Tempo's protests. The other Externals have also been locked up in stasis chambers where they relive an endless cycle of their worst nightmares.
Most of the X-Corps disband, while Strong Guy heads back to the floating island. Mirage and Sunspot talk and reflect on what their next move should be now that the threat of the Externals and the war against Orchis are over. Sunspot explains that Madrox and Layla are staying on the island with their son because it's their home. However, Cerebra stayed in Nova Roma to catalog all the mutants killed by Selene. Rictor and Shatterstar have taken a break to spend some time together. Betsy reunited with Rachel. The Proudstar brothers went back to Camp Gozhoo to rebuild their village. Sunspot admits he has no idea what to do next. Mirage leaves for a meeting with Karma and Wolfsbane. Meanwhile, Cannonball arrives at the floating island and reunites with Sunspot. The two hug and share a moment of friendship. The future is unlimited.
The Krakoan Era is officially over for Miss Betsy Braddock!
"She NEVER cracked under pressure", thank you Steve Foxe, you actually took the time to understand Betsy
ReplyDeleteMy new dream is that the original New Mutants become the official X-team with Betsy in the lead in the mentor/ProfX role, except, you know, actually out in the field kicking butts with the team. At least for one Annual issue. ;_;
ReplyDeleteI miss the Betsy/NM days.
Just thinking out loud. Carry on.
