New Excalibur

Nocturne ambushes Petrie, one of Albion's Shadow Captains in order to infiltrate their group. The battle approaches the endgame as what remains of Shadow X and Excalibur converge on the Shadow Captains' position, much to the glee of Shadow Phoenix in her chance to lash out at those that have taken two teammates from her. She soon realizes how weak her position is as she watches a third comrade die- Shadow Angel. Caught of guard she finds herself face to face with Albion, and about to be clobbered. Captain Britain flies in to save her, and tries to convince Sage she needs to break free of Albion's control. The exchange of blows reveals two men sharing one face, giving both combatants a moment's pause.
