Synopsis for "Endgame part 3: Lunar Opposition!"

In space, X-Factor and Charlotte Jones drift amongst the debris of Ship, contained in a sphere of energy formed of Ship’s essence.  A spacecraft rescues them with a tractor beam, and, once aboard, they learn their rescuers are the Inhumans.  Gorgon and Karnak reveal that Apocalypse has taken over Attilan, the Inhumans’ city on the Moon, and captured many of their people, including their queen Medusa. The Riders of the Storm are themselves brainwashed Inhumans.  Elsewhere, the time-traveler—called Askani—recalls her journey back from the distant future to save Nathan.  Beast explains how he helped Ship to condense himself into the energy sphere while Cyclops, Black Bolt, and Gorgon plan an assault on Attilan. Suddenly, the Riders materialize, kidnap Crystal, and teleport away.  Meanwhile, Apocalypse explains to his technicians his plan to absorb Nathan’s life force before the boy can become a threat to him.  Outside, X-Factor and the Inhumans face an army of brainwashed Inhumans led by android duplicates of Apocalypse.  Beast, Gorgon, and Karnak defeat this force by combining their powers to open a massive crevasse beneath it.  The two teams breach Apocalypse’s citadel and free the captive Inhumans.  X-Factor penetrates deeper and soon realizes they are in the Blue Area of the Moon where Phoenix died.  They find Apocalypse standing next to a captive Nathan, and Cyclops blasts him.  But, that proves to be just a hologram as the real Apocalypse, grown to the size of a building, reveals himself.  In his Swiss chalet, Sebastian Shaw is enraged to learn his company has been bought out. His son Shinobi enters and takes credit. Furious, Sebastian lashes out until Shinobi uses his mutant phasing powers to give him a heart attack.  Then, the chalet explodes.  Shinobi rises from the rubble and tells Sebastian he is fired.
