At Sebastian Shaw's Paris mansion, Storm breaks free from Donald Pierce's restraints and begins to fight his unrelenting soldiers known as "The Cleaning Crew." Nightcrawler and Wolverine finish off their adversaries at the Paris café and then take off to assist Storm and Bishop. Pierce attacks Wolverine with ferocious nannites that instantly blinds him, while Nightcrawler jaunts to Storm's aid. The Cleaning Crew won't let up on trying to exterminate the X-Men, but the team decides to focus their attention on Donald Pierce instead. Meanwhile in Hong Kong, Red Lotus assures Marvel Girl that the Hellfire Club will rescue the imprisoned mutants from the Casino's slave auction. However Selene, who has been hunting Rachel since New York, attacks Lotus and begins feeding on him. This prompts Marvel Girl to engage her in combat but she has trouble striking Selene's malleable body. Upstairs in the casino area, Emma Frost realizes that Courtney and Viper's cover is blown. Selene prepares to feast on Marvel Girl but is repelled in a glorious display of power. Rachel also shares a romantic kiss with Red Lotus in her moment of victory.
