Nightcrawler has sacrificed his life to get Hope to Utopia and the X-Men begin to mourn the tragic loss. Hope finally meets the X-Men, including Cable's father Cyclops. Donald Pierce contacts Bastion from inside Utopia and they begin to put the next phase of their master plan into action. Cyclops sends the X-Club to investigate Bastion's towers. Nightcrawler's funeral is held and, unable to contain his anger and grief any longer, Wolverine storms off with X-Force.
