- The Story:
- The Darkchilde feels that she is about to give in to the dark side. As Colossus sees her once more, he is shocked about her latest transformation. Ashamed she leaves to Limbo and resumes leadership there. Wolfsbane wants at least to save the seven-year-old Illyana she saw earlier in Limbo. That gives Magik an idea how to end Inferno. She uses a combination of magical spells, her soulsword and stepping disks to suck all the demons back to Limbo and sacrifices herself in a last stroke. Only the little child Illyana remains and is saved from Limbo; it appears as if the teenage Magik never existed.
