Excalibur #25 Spoilers

Spoilers: Betsy reunites with Tom Lennox at the Green Lagoon bar, where he reveals his plans to reform S.T.R.I.K.E. under Pete Wisdom’s leadership. Betsy is distracted catching glimpses of the Otherworld battle in her mind and with Kwannon and Greycrow on a date also at the bar. Tom doesn’t expect them to renew their relationship but is hopeful Captain Britain might join S.T.R.I.K.E. on a mission in London. Soon enough, Alison, Vicki and Kevin join them. Betsy explains that she will fight for England in Otherworld instead and is encouraged by her dear friends.

In Otherworld, Maggie Braddock explains that Excalibur retreated back to the castle while the Captain Britain Corps held the Citadel, where Saturnyne is meditating on a scrying pool to enhance and heal the Captains. Excalibur agrees to jump into battle again while Jamie stays behind with Shogo and Maggie to protect the gate to Krakoa. Meanwhile Merlyn is casting a spell of sorts while Arthur’s forces erect siege towers and place ballistae around the Starlight Citadel.

Saturnyne deploys her White Priests against Arthur’s army. The Priests are soon joined by Excalibur, the Braddocks, Shatterstar and Bei; however, Arthur’s minions start targeting only the Captains Britain. Betsy orders the Captains to retreat, but it’s too late. Merlyn finally casts his spell wrapping the Citadel with an anti-magic bubble. Excalibur attempts to hold the Citadel’s doorway against their enemies. Betsy projects her butterfly avatar and orders her teammates to protect Saturnyne and escort her out of the Citadel.

Arthur breaks into the Citadel and meets Betsy in plain clothes. Without magic, Betsy loses her Captain Britain costume and powers. Betsy assures Arthur he won’t retake Avalon and will learn to fear mutantkind, after all he’s just a man. Betsy again projects her butterfly effect and subdues Arthur telepathically, leaving him catatonic while displaying a huge butterfly effect.

Excalibur rescues Saturnyne, just in time for Jamie Braddock to return riding Shogo. Excalibur flees riding on Shogo’s back. Betsy comes looking for Saturnyne, and Jamie just drops her for Betsy to catch. While out of Merlyn’s anti-magic bubble, Betsy becomes Captain Britain again. Betsy asks Shogo to carve a trench between the Citadel and Camelot with this reality-bending fire while Jamie holds reality together so it won’t collapse. Enraged, Merlyn casts a spell against Saturnyne and Betsy, who end up falling into the ground until they reach a place called the Sea of Secrets. Both women wake up on a small boat. Saturnyne says she’s ready to tell the story of how she took the Citadel from Merlyn.
