Synopsis

While Excalibur tries to figure out who Albion is, the man himself is explaining his origin story to Lionheart. On an alternate earth ravaged by war, Albion was offered the choice of the amulet or the sword by Roma but, unlike the rest of the Captain Britain Corps, he chose the sword. Albion conquered his own world and was able to make it to Excalibur's world which he plans to conquer to get back at Roma and Merlyn. To this end, he allies himself with Black Air and Shadow-X.
