Description
Dormammu says he no longer derives pleasure from beating weak opponents, and gives Strange an hour to reconsider the challenge. As Strange ponders Dormammu's overwhelming confidence, the mysterious girl appears again and takes him to The Mindless Ones-- a horde of aggressive, destructive creatures, who are only held back from killing all in their paths by the will-power of Dormammu! Still, his first duty is to Earth. Strange finds the girl imprisoned for "betraying" Dormammu-- and the battle begins! They seem almost evenly matched, until, with Dormammu's focus entirely on the battle, the barrier holding back The Mindless Ones collapses, and they rampage forward. As they're about to kill the girl, Dormammu turns and holds them back-- but they're too many coming too fast-- until Strange adds his power to Dormammu's! His domain safe once more, Dormammu is enraged that he should be in debt to a human! Strange extracts a vow that no harm shall come to the girl-- and that Dormammu must never set foot on Earth. He agrees-- but vows he will never rest until he has avenged this indignity. As Strange departs, the girl tells him she must stay, for it's her home-- "No matter where my heart shall be."
