Chapter 4 – Uncanny X-Men #12: At Utopia, Teen Jean and Teen Scott tell Cyclops' Uncanny X-Men about the X-Men from the future who have come to the present to force them to go back to their timeline. Magik reveals Xavier is indeed Professor X's grandson because she had already met them, before teleporting away. Jeans asks Cyclops help. Meanwhile, at the Pacific Coast, Kitty argues with Storm about the situation, standing up for the O5 and their freedom. Xavier picks up a signal. Back to Utopia, Cyclops decides to help Jean and Scott, much to Emma and Magneto's disapproval. Emma is especially upset as she thinks he's only doing it for Jean and not thinking straight. Angel stresses that they all have to go back together. Xorna's future X-Men arrive at Utopia, and she telepathically freezes everyone on the island, except Jean. Xorna assaults Jean, but is interrupted by Emma and the Cuckoos. Emma reveals she was the one who sent the signal so they'd come and get Jean and Scott, but now that she has found out Xorna is Jean, she won't stand for it and let her abuse her own young self.
“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 didn't get the logic behind most characters in this issue. I mean, Cyclops almost stopped existing when his younger self almost died, yet he wants them to stay in the present? Kitty saw Cyclops almost vanishing when this happened, but she's also against sending the O5 back to the past? Emma for once thinks logically that the O5 must return to their time, but she changes her mind just because she finds out Xorn is Jean?
I hope there's a good explanation for this apparent lack of logic. Maybe Emma noticed something wrong in Xorn-Jean and that's why she's fighting her (and not just because of her childish jealousy of Jean), maybe Cyclops and Kitty suspect the future X-Men have different plans than what they're telling. But so far, nothing like this was even hinted.
Anyway, next issue it seems there will be a psychic battle of Emma, Teen Jean and the Cuckoos vs. Xorn-Jean. Maybe Psylocke could join this battle, since she'll be in the place? Unlikely, I know, but it would be interesting...
By the way, in two previous posts of this blog, the issue with part 3 of this crossover is referred to as X-Men #6. It's actually X-Men #5 (#6 will be the one coming up in October).
