Senator Kelly hires Zane to steal an inhibitor collar from the X-Men.

Animation. Senator Kelly hires Zane to steal an inhibitor collar. Zane hires Gambit to do it for him, but Wolverine exploits Gambit's greed to get it back.

When an explosive event shatters the lives of the X-Men and takes away their mentor, the beaten heroes walk away from it all. But then they are given a rare glimpse into the future, and see a world in utter ruin, ruled by giant destructive robots; a world that spiralled out of control because the X-Men had given up. Wolverine, the most legendary of all X-Men, reunites the broken heroes to prevent the world's destruction.

Senator Kelly wants to get his hands on an inhibitor collar that the X-Men have been using to help mutants who can't quite control their powers, and he has hired Zane to get it for him. Zane in turn has gone to the Thieves' Guild to hire the best thief. Gambit agrees to take on the task for a handsome fee. He successfully snares the collar and hands over to Zane. 

But when Wolverine finds out Gambit is behind the theft, he decides to use his greedy nature against him and offers double to steal the collar back. Gambit agrees and heads off with Wolverine to get it. They end up at the Trask Lab, where Bolivor Trask, MRD gadget man, has been given the responsibility of reverse-engineering the collar for Kelly. 

After much chaos, they get the collar, but greedy Gambit turns on Wolverine again. With his own trickery, Wolverine victoriously brings the collar back to the mansion. Their technology is safe for the time being.
