In the present, Domino, Jubilee and Kitty are still using Stenya to infiltrate Viper's fortress in order to stop Viper's plan to launch her satellite and to save Storm, Rogue and Psylocke. Jubilee and Kitty decide to go inside while Domino is heading to the launch pad.
Inside Viper's fortress, the mysterious man from before is unhappy about the launch's delay, Viper tries to explain to him that the weather make things difficult (thanks to Storm) and trying to launch the satellite before sunrise would be crazy. We also got the confirmation that Soteira is the name of the leader of this organisation and that she doesn't care about Viper's excuses, she must follow the plan.
Suddently we see Sapphire Styx acting crazy (Psylocke's butterfly appear around her head) because she has visions of Patch and he is trying to kill her but only her can see him. Snakewhip is trying to hold her but she's violently send away by a telepathic attack (again with Psylocke butterfly signature), Viper's completely shocked by this situation is calling to Mindblast who is still playing with Magneto.
Mindblast and Knockout decide to go help Viper but on the way they're attacked by Kitty and Jubilee, on the launch pad Domino sees that Storm and Rogue are trapped in the rocket carrying the Satellite that Viper is going to launch. But before she can do anything Stenya is killed by Bloodlust who wants some payback after Domino compltely whoop her ass in the previous issue.
Jubilee discovers that Mindblast has a lot of "tech junk" on her back, so Kitty decide to phase though her, completely shutting down her powers and revealing that this technology was the reason she was so powerful. Powerless, Mindblast can't control minds anymore, that means Magneto is free and is now really pissed!!!
Sapphire Styx is really in a bad shape, Patch is hitting her and cutting her nonstop but it seems Snakewhip can see him too now but not Viper who don't understand what is happening. Viper is warned that the launch site is compromised so she orders her troop to launch the rocket but on the launch site, Magneto appears more angry than ever and ready to kill mindblast but Kitty told him to worry about the rocket instead of killing her.
Domino finish her fight with Bloodlust with a nice kick to her face, Saphire appears again screaming like crazy with Patch still kicking her ass and asking her how many souls she stole. Domino ask her where is Logan and Saphire said he's buried inside her with all the other souls she stole but then another voice is heard by Domino, Kitty and Saphire. It's Psylocke saying to Saphire, it ends here, no more souls for her.
As Psylocke screams "No more souls" we see Sapphire Styx body is overloaded by all the souls she absorbed and is breaking down while Magneto is trying to stop the launch of the rocket.
To be concluded...
That was great! Really good issue, Domino, Kitty and Jubilee are all amazing here (especially Jubilee), we got an explanation for why the Femmes Fatales are so powerful, Soteira and Viper enhanced them with some technology.
"Patch" and Psylocke also managed to really scare Sapphire Styx and I'm curious to see what's going to happen to Betsy next issue. Unfortunately Storm and Rogue didn't do anything in this issue but I'm sure they're going to be the big focus of the last issue with Magneto.
The art is better than in previous issues and I think the reason is because there is much more action in this issue, Sillas is really good at drawning fight scenes. Also his Magneto is really frightening.
Frankly I'm impressed by Zub's writing, the characterizations of Domino, Kitty and Jubilee are top notch ! Unfortunately we learned nothing about Logan's whereabouts or about Soteira except that Soteira is also the name of the big boss of the Soteira organization. At SDCC, Soule also confirmed that her name is Persephone, so it's not really surprising she's also known as Soteira.
I can't wait for the last issue !!!!
