Complete story — includes the ending
In Northwest Kenya, a militia has seized a small village, threatening the locals while looking for Mutants. They're confronted by a vengeful Storm, who quickly humiliates and defeats the leader. The village leader warns her that others will come, to which Storm declares she's looking for their leader already.
At the Xavier Institute, the O*N*E are watching the X-Men. Rachel is in conference with her psychiatrist via telepathy, Bishop is checking up with Charlotte Jones in hospital, Cannonball is with his sister, talking with the Mutant internees on campus, and Psylocke and Kurt are sparing in the Danger Room. At that point, the cameras short out, due to the arrival of James Braddock, who disables the Sentinels with ease, and humiliates the O*N*E agents sent to arrest him by turning the ground beneath them to ice, and then dumping snow on them. The X-Men quickly attack, only for Braddock to use his powers to fool them into injuring one another. He's distracted by Bishop shooting him in the head, allowing Betsy to stab him with her katana. James briefly summons the Fury in order to stop his sister hurting him further, then kills and brings her back as a display of power. Before he can explain further, The Watcher appears above them. James demands he watches quietly, before explaining to Betsy what he did when he brought her back, making her immune to all manner of reality warping as a weapon. As he mentions something called "the Foursaken" a portal opens up, and a set of disembodied hands begin dragging him away, despite Bishop's best efforts. Holding her brother's abandoned hat, Betsy declares that this marks "the end of everything".
