Title:

Nightcrawler (2014)

Synopsis:
Crimson Hunt, Part 2

After receiving word of a powerful new mutant signature, Nightcrawler and the student Rico agree to investigate. Storm gives them information about the advanced weapons research facility where the young woman, Ziggy Karst, is employed. Following the Bamfs lead, Nightcrawler teleports himself and Rico into the facility, where they see it under siege by the Crimson Pirates who seemingly disintegrate all of the scientists. Nightcrawler regrets bringing Rico here, but Rico is determined to help, despite being afraid.

They leap into action, with Nightcrawler telling Rico to get the survivors out of here, and the Bamfs will help him. Nightcrawler engages Broadside first, but finds himself swarmed by Sea Dogs. The Bamfs attack Broadside and are able to steal his weapons. At the same time, Rico comes between some of the scientists and other Sea Dogs. He is then able to lead the scientists outside, before bravely heading back in to help Nightcrawler.

Nightcrawler is beset by Kilian and Bloody Bess in a sword fight. He wonders why he finds her so familiar, and after a lengthy battle, he takes her down. Several Sea Dogs, however, have located Ziggy Karst and chase her through the facility. They are about to set upon her, when Rico arrives to assist her. He sends the Sea Dogs running, and starts to strike up a discussion with Ziggy, who seems very interested in him - when she is shot at and vanishes.

Rico tries to attack Killian, before Nightcrawler teleports over to him him, and knocks Killian out, while Rico destroys his gun. He then notices that Ziggy’s rods are still moving, and decides that she must still be alive. Nightcrawler realizes that the Crimson Pirates haven’t been killing people, but teleporting them away. Nightcrawler wants to find Ziggy and the missing scientists, so instructs the Bamfs to use one of the weapons on him - and he finds himself in the facility run by Tullamore Voge, where Ziggy and the scientists are being held hostage.

Nightcrawler battles several aliens, before the Bamfs teleport in, and as Tullamore Voge watches via a monitor, Nightcrawler gives him a stern warning not to try this again, before he and the Bamfs teleport away with Ziggy and the scientists. Tullamore, however, swears vengeance.

Arriving back at the lab, Rico reports that the Crimson Pirates just disappeared. Ziggy kisses him, and suggests they have an adventure again sometime. Nightcrawler is happy for Rico and tells him to see where this friendship may lead, while announcing that Rico has the instincts of a hero and the soul of a good man.
