Title:
Nightcrawler (2014)
Synopsis:
Reborn, Part 3: The Best Laid Plans
As Psylocke, possessed by the Shadow King, looms over Nightcrawler, and flanked by possessed Crimson Pirates, Sea Dogs and Bamfs, Nightcrawler looks up and sees the Blackbird suddenly materialize in a burst of brimstone energy. The Shadow King boasts they he will break Nightcrawler’s would-be rescuers, as two more Bamfs teleport the unconscious Bloody Bess onto the sand nearby.
Ziggy and Rico inside the Blackbird wonder how they can help Nightcrawler, given that the other X-Men have already been taken out. The Shadow King flies into the Blackbird, and the young mutants try to fight him, but he takes them out.
As Nightcrawler struggles against Psylocke, he soon learns that Psylocke is no longer under the Shadow King’s control. When she and Bess came into contact earlier, their psi-powers negated the Shadow King’s control. They engage the Sea Dogs and Pirates until they are defeated. But the Shadow King remains, so Psylocke and Bloody Bess pull Nightcrawler’s astral form out of his body. This enables Nightcrawler to enter the Blackbird and pull the Shadow King away from the students. They battle, and eventually, Bloody Bess’s astral form join them. Nightcrawler takes the Shadow King out. With Bloody Bess’s help, they return the Shadow King into the body of Omega Black.
Nightcrawler and Bess return to their bodies, to find Psylocke and the Bamfs unconscious, and Ziggy and Rico prisoners of the Crimson Pirates. The Sea Dogs then skewer Nightcrawler. The Bamfs and Bess protect Nightcrawler, while the Crimson Pirates escape with Rico and Ziggy.
Storm awakens and finds Nightcrawler dying. Nightcrawler regrets not saving the children, before his spirit floats away. Bess’s astral form tries to pull him back, until he is pulled into another realm by Amanda Sefton, who is trapped in way-station before Heaven. Their reunion is happy, but Nightcrawler is sad about the children. Amanda reveals that she is in this place for a reason, although she doesn’t elaborate on it. Nightcrawler is then paid a visit by Wolverine and Jean Grey, before he kisses Amanda goodbye. Bess pulls Nightcrawler back to Earth.
He wakes to find Storm, Psylocke, and Bess looking after him. He then announces that he and Bess are going to locate the other Pirates and deal with them and their employer once and for all.
