Title:
Gambit (1999)
Synopsis:
Maximum Security: Shell Game
Gambit leads the Unified Guild of Thieves and Assassins against the threat of Ego in New Orleans. Gambit realizes that the fight may be futile, but still fights on.
After clearing a block from the threat of the Ego-spore, Gambit and his group are approached by Heth’sa, an alien imprisoned on Earth. He explains that he once used to be a prison guard from the planet Culth, which uses the X-Cutioner armor as a guard uniform, but during a prison riot he ran away in cowardice and was sentenced to prison. When Maximum Security was implemented, he was sent to Earth.
Heth’sa makes a deal with the guild. If they can help him break into an Oklahoma silo and get him to the X-Cutioner armor, he will give them a data disk containing information on Ego collected by the High Evolutionary.
Gambit, Emil, Bella Donna, Mercy, and Heth’sa break into the facility and get the disk. Heth’sa uses the transport system of the suit to go back in time to kill himself instead of letting himself run away. Gambit follows Heth’sa, knowing that if the man dies, then they would never retrieve the information on Ego.
Gambit prevents Heth’sa from killing his past self and, instead, helps the man decide to make amends by fighting now.
Gambit returns to the present and makes plans to get the disk to Reed Richards of the Fantastic Four.
After they leave, the New Sun reveals that he was in the X-Cutioner armor during the Assassination Game and plans on killing Gambit to save the Earth.
