Yes. I was prince and sword both, once. And my ancient enemy, the King of the Whirldemons, he who sought to conquer your world and devour its inhabitants -- he has very nearly broken free of the prison I put him in, one million years ago.
X relays this word-for-word to Thor, leading Spider-Man to grumble about a tape delay. He falls silent, however, as the Enigma Force continues to speak, detailing the horrors of the Whirldemons, those same creatures that so recently killed X and Thor and the rest. Their plan is the same as it always has been, to conquer, to kill, and to feast.
"We will stop them. Him." It is a solemn promise from X.
"Will you help us?" Sue wants to know. Spider-Man, too.
