Title:

Nightcrawler (1985)

Synopsis:
Nightcrawler and Lockheed find themselves talking to a child-sized boggie. This boggie tells them they are on Bamf Island and invites them to see Bamf City. The small Bamf refers to Kurt as “Daddy” because he is the biggest Bamf ever seen on the island. Kurt and Lockheed accompany the small Bamf back to the cityIn the City, Kurt finds himself surrounded by thousands of smaller Bamfs and is herded up onto a stage for presentation to the community. However, Shagreen the Sorcerer appears with other ideas. The Sorcerer attempts to blast Kurt with magic only to discover this does not work as Kurt is standing on a spell stone. Shagreen changes plans and kidnaps all of the smaller Bamfs while issuing a challenge to Kurt to meet him at the Fangs of Doom. The small Bamf Kurt first met is hiding behind him and is not kidnapped. The two friends search the city only to discover that everyone is missing. The child-sized Bamf says they must call a friend to transport them across the Misty Sea to Fangs of Doom. After placing the call by blowing on large horns, they meet up with this reality’s version of Wolverine called “Mean”. A full size dragon that calls himself Lockheed answers the call. The large Lockheed agrees to transport all of them, including small Lockheed, to Fangs of Doom in order to rescue the small Bamfs. On the way across the Misty Sea, they spot a pirate ship, which just happens to belong to Kitty and Colossus. Kurt can’t help recalling the fairytale that he overheard Kitty telling Illyana in his own time frame. Soon, everyone is aboard full size Lockheed. Near Fangs of Doom, full size Lockheed is attacked from the water by a tentacled creature causing the passengers to plunge into the sea and swim for shore. The two teleporters discover that Shagreen is once again using his anti-teleportation spell so their powers will not work. Once on shore, carnivorous flying bats that Kitty refers to as Dreadwings set upon the six friends. During the fight, Kitty, with small Lockheed around her neck, is taken by the Dreadwings and flown to the castle visible in the distance. Colossus vows to rescue her and the four friends proceed toward the castle. Meanwhile, Illyana and Kitty accidentally transport the small Bamf into their time and have to return him immediately. Inside the castle, Colossus triggers a trap causing a large square boulder to drop on him. He smashes his way out unhurt. The friends continue on their quest. Kurt turns in time to see his friends disappear, their places taken by an enormous, Dark Bamf. Kurt utilizes all his acrobatic skill to avoid being captured by this creature, but to no avail. Everyone is captured and chained to a post in a sacrificial room facing Shagreen the Sorcerer.

Meanwhile, Illyana and Kitty are still working a way to bring Kurt and Lockheed home.
