With tears welling in her eyes, Psylocke is held immobile against the wall of the Danger Room, her neck trapped between two of Wolverine's claws. With gritted teeth, Wolverine asks Psylocke who she really is. Psylocke says that there is no need to answer that question. After sharing each other's deepest, darkest thoughts and deeds, they know who she is. Storm then asks Xavier if he could do a probe of both their minds to see who is telling the truth. The British Betsy tells Xavier that she would yield to a mind probe but Psylocke refuses, recalling too many violations of her psyche. Jean then asks Psylocke if it was because of all the people who have tampered with her mind, that she has adopted such an aggressive use of her telepathic powers. Psylocke points out to the X-Men that they all have accepted her not being the same woman she once was.
Yelling that neither is she the woman she claims to be, the British Betsy regenerates her psychic katana blade and attacks Psylocke. As both prepare to finish their battle, Xavier stops them from fighting and tells them they will not fight in his house. Wolverine then asks Xavier to step outside to talk to him for a moment and Xavier tells the two not to fight while he is away. In the hallway outside the Danger Room, Wolverine tells Xavier that neither woman is lying, but neither is telling the truth. When Xavier asks how his senses can tell when his mind probes cannot, Wolverine tells his that they both smell like the Betsy that went through the Siege Perilous, but fight with Ninjitsu styles that the original Betsy should not have known. After taking a long draw from a cigar, Wolverine tells Xavier the only way they will find out any answers is to visit the home of the Jigoku crimelord Nyoirin in Japan.

In Seattle, Washington Mesmero flies through the glass of his apartment window and falls to the street far below. As he falls, he is able to grab hold of a window ledge a couple of stories down from his window. Looking down from the balcony above, Foxbat explains to Mesmero that he has been tested by the Dark Riders and has been found lacking. Tusk, Psynapse, Foxbat, Barrage, and Gauntlet stand on the window ledge taunting Mesmero, who unknown to the other Dark Riders, is trying to take control of Psynapse's. Suddenly, Psynapse attacks the other Dark Riders with his psi-flashes. Immune from Psynapses attack, Gauntlet shoots the hanging Mesmero, who falls helplessly to the street below. Turning to Psynapse, Gauntlet raises his gun to the quivering mutant. With an evil grin, Guantlet tells Psynapse that he has been tested and he is not fit to survive. No more words needed, he fires his weapon.
In Tokyo, Japan inside of Shinobi Shaw's penthouse apartment Lord Nyoirin has come because Shinobi has summoned to see him. Lord Nyoirin asks why this meeting could not wait till tomorrow night when the Jigoku underworld heads meet. Shinobi says that he wants Nyoirin to regain control of his assassin, Kwannon and have her kill the X-Men. In return, Shinobi says he will second a vote to reinstate the Clan Yashida, which has been very unsteady since the death of Mariko Yashida, under Nyoirin's control. Lord Nyoirin agrees and they toast one another.
Meanwhile at the home of Lord Nyoirin, four X-Men (Beast, Gambit, Psylocke, and Betsy) sneak into the grounds of the estate. Gambit notices two guards at the door and takes them out with two of his cards. When Gambit exclaims how easy this is, Betsy tells him to not get over confident; Nyoirin's estate has eyes they cannot see. Psylocke questions how Betsy knows so much about the house, to which Betsy explains that her familiarity comes from having been held prisoner there for months. Just then a cadre of Ninjas drop from the ceiling, attacking the four X-Men. During the ensuing fight, Beast and Gambit notice how twin-like Psylocke and Revanche move and fight, practically mirror images of each other. After the X-Men defeat Lord Nyoirin's defenses, Gambit uses a lock pick to bust into Lord Nyoirin's private study. Inside, the X-Men are surprised to see a painting of Psylocke on the wall holding two Katana blades. Beast is able to translate the Japanese writing on the painting as saying "Kwannon in Repose" to which Revanche then exclaims, "I told you I was telling the truth"! After noting what a pretty picture it is Gambit asks the Beast if he can leave. Beast instructs Gambit to stay and deal with the inevitable showdown like a man... unless he doesn't mind taking him with him.
Back in Tokyo, Japan, Matsu'o has arrived uninvited and apparently unwanted at Shinobi Shaw's penthouse. Matsu'o explains to Shinobi that although he is not an Upstart, he has been granted permission by the Gamesmaster to kill Psylocke. Shinobi is enraged, as he believes he should have the right to kill Psylocke. However, since the Gamesmaster has spoken, he will not go against his wishes. Matsu'o tells Shinobi that he is no artist like himself and that Psylocke's death will be a work of art.
Back in Nyoirin' study, Gambit holds two energized cards to Psylocke's face, demanding answers from her. Psylocke knocks the cards from Gambit's hands, telling him that out of all the X-men, he is the last one she should be explaining anything to. As Beast ponders aloud why they were brought to this exact place, a shadowy figure with a glowing Katana slashes his back. It is the Silver Samurai. Brandishing his sword at the rest of the X-Men, the Sumurai tells them that in order to accomplish his goal of returning honor to the Clan Yashida, he will have to kill them all.
