"The Enigma of Crunch" ends.
Wolverine, Mystique and Spiral must prevent Mojo from blocking the Crunch, the end of the universe, thus destroying reality.
The outcome of the battle, however, is in the hands of Jubilee, who must choose between becoming Mojo's slave, to save Logan's life, or rebel.
When she learns that Abscissa, Mojo's slave, is herself as an old woman, she chooses to rebel.
Spiral and Mystique travel back to the present and borrow a special missile built by Elsie-Dee.
While Elsie-Dee and Albert go back in time to save Logan's life in the past, preventing him from becoming the adamantium skeleton they found, Wolverine uses the missile to stop Mojo.
All back to the present, as if nothing had happened and with no memories, Jubilee finds herself in prison in Tokyo.

Final confrontation between Excalibur and Necrom.
The members of Excalibur merge into one body, inside Captain Britain, to face Necrom.
When they reach him, however, it is Rachel who challenges him alone, manifesting the power of the Phoenix.
Rachel is revealed to have the power to travel through time, which was already used when she arrived from the future.
Merlin reveals himself to Excalibur, explaining how he and Feron (the ancestor of the current one) were students of Necrom and together they created the beacons that connect the various realities and give power to Merlin.
Necrom is destroyed when he attempts to absorb the full power of Phoenix from Rachel.
Meggan and Captain Britain use their power to destroy lighthouses in all realities.
Roma takes Rachel back to her friends, but is knocked unconscious.
