Magneto and Professor X have been confronted by Orchis agents as well as Nimrod and the Omega Sentinel.

…they despise humanity as much as mutants.

It’s now two on two and in the midst of that battle, that see power dampeners against the two mutants be on and off, Professor X loses his cool  wanting to know where Moira X is.

Moira is actually a captive of Destiny and her wife Mystique…

…who kill Moira X over and over…

…until she is reborn so many times, foretold where she’ll be by Destiny, Moira’s…

…mutant powers are lost.

She just wants to help mutants, but curing them!

She has such a device?!

Elsewhere, Nimrod negotiates Professor X’s life for Omega Sentinel’s with Magneto.

However, Nimrod doesn’t honor their deal and…

…power dampeners on, both Professor X and Magneto die.

Cypher enters the Destiny / Mystique vs. Moira X mess…

…reminding them that now that Moira is human they can’t kill her per the laws of Krakoa.

The future remains not fully clear with three likely paths before them.

In the end, Cypher replaces Moira’s missing arm with some of Warlock’s mutant tech and she goes on the run.

Magneto and Professor X are reborn…

…with Emma Frost revealing their secrets including Moira X to all of Krakoa’s mutants.

The Quiet Council…

…feels different…

…heading into the new Immortal X-Men series as part of…

…Destiny of X.
