Synopsis for "The Guns of Avalon (Part 3)"
In London, a Super-Skrull declared to his fellow Skrulls that they would have Avalon, then Britain, then the rest of the world before strengthening them with the Pendragon Force and telling them that they would fight the British Army on Westminster Bridge. At the bridge, Black Knight told Faiza to run later, as he believed that the world "will need doctors."
Back in Otherworld, Pete was contacted by a voice while Spitfire rushed to save John, who was surrounded by Skrulls and attempted to pull out Excalibur and failed. Black Knight, Faiza, and the British Army watched the Skrulls approach them while Tink and her fellow Otherworlders were already fighting them. The voices led Pete to a gate where he released "all that's evil." Afterwards, Merlin revealed himself and brought back Captain Britain at the center of the country and Tink, Spitfire, John, Faiza, and Black Knight all noticed.
Spitfire and John were overwhelmed by Skrulls before Captain Britain pulled Excalibur from the stone and was watched by Tink, who was also overwhelmed by Skrulls. Black Knight and Faiza fought the Skrulls in London and the Super-Skrull was prepared to kill the latter before Captain Britain attacked the Skrull and saved her.
