Gambit has gained the Elixir of Life but has to battle through the combined forces of the guilds to get to Bella Donna. Julien attacks and shatters the vial. Candra promises to restore the pact and powers if Gambit is killed but both Guilds forsake her and turn from the old ways. With the Guilds finally at peace, Gambit's father commands that he help preserve it by leaving for good. Gambit drips a few drops of the serum into Bella Donna's mouth in hopes she will be restored. His wife wakes up but without her memories. Driving Rogue off, Gambit is left to walk the streets of New Orleans, alone.
