Bound for Destruction
As S'ym skulks away, Amanda calls all of the other Splinter Realm rulers and their followers and they begin the war against the deadly and powerful foe. When nothing seems to stop it, the most powerful rulers combine their powers and using Amanda as a conduit, attack the creature, where Amanda learns its origin – that it was created from the magical database she had her ally Nugent make. Nightcrawler teleports back to New York and attacks the database physically, which wounds the creature back in Limbo, giving the exhausted Amanda the chance she needed to strike it down and destroy it. Afterwards, Dormammu and Mephisto say goodbye, but not before warning Amanda to take care where her ambitions lead her. Kurt tries to cheer Amanda up, and staring down at the destroyed Limbo, he manages to do so, leaving Amanda Sefton safe and Limbo in good hands.
