Previously onX-Men...
What is this place? A rain forest in Antarctica?
Its splendor seems boundless.
It's called the Savage Land.
Magneto.
Are you sure this is wise, Charles?
If you know another way to get to my plane,
I'm open to suggestions.
Careful, Magneto!
My apologies, Charles.
I'm used to surmounting cliffs with far more ease.
How much further?
Trust me, you'd rather not know.
There's so much I don't know about this Savage Land.
We're under attack!
Skyriders!
Nicely played, Charles.
We made it.
I knew it had survived.
Miraculously, as we did.
Not for long!
My Mutates!
(HISSES) Oh!
Please do not abandon us again,
former master.
Foolish Amphibius.
Don't you know you cannot challenge your creator?
No longer!
Look away, Charles! Do not look directly into her eyes!
You speak as if he had a choice.
Surrender your will to me, outlanders.
Succumb to the power of Vertigo.
They will give you no further trouble.
Excellent.
Now we take them to the Master!
It is for him to decide whether they live as his slaves,
or perish like the dogs they are.
Play that message again, Jean. I want to be sure.
I want to come back.
No! Get out of here!
Hurry! Branston Theatre. I need you now! Wolverine!
If that ain't Morph, I'll eat the Blackbird.
You're coming home, pal.
Does true evil exist in this sorry world?
When I drink this potion of my own devising,
the secret shall at last be mine.
It is him. Let's grab him.
Wait! Let him finish.
No! The pain! The terrible torment!
Henry Jekyll cannot endure such utter agony,
but it matters not to Edward Hyde!
Come on, we don't want to lose him.
Nice performance, friend.
Who are you?
You can cut the act, Morph. We got your invitation.
Morph? Never heard of him, stranger.
My name's Murphy.
Morph, what's wrong?
Get away from here! Now! I know he's watching.
He wants you and Jean. He has the professor. He...
The professor?
Don't worry, Morph.
We won't leave you.
Come on, batface! Show yourself!
Gotcha, shorty.
Careful with Summers and Miss Grey.
Quiet, Zabu. Now is not the time.
While the Mutates fight against Magneto,
perhaps we can use their struggle against them.
Come, my brother, there is much we must do.
Then, when the moment is right, Ka-Zar will have his revenge.
There, Zabu! The three-horns we saw before.
Come, brother, I will need your strength.
Run, three-horns! Flee for your lives!
What is that sound?
Like thunder, coming closer!
But I see no clouds.
By the Master... No!
Ka-Zar!
This way! Follow me!
Who...
No time to explain, Charles.
Pigs, you let them get away!
The Master will not be pleased.
Thank you.
You saved our...
Keep your gratitude!
Who are you, and why have you brought
the devil Magneto back to our land?
If he had not created those cursed Mutates,
our people would not be enslaved,
and my wife would not be a prisoner!
That's enough.
Whatever his past crimes,
Magneto is not to blame for your current troubles.
The Mutate called Amphibius told us he was obeying the orders
of someone he called Master.
Perhaps he means Sauron.
He and your Mutates have enslaved the people of this land,
taking many to your citadel, including my beloved Shanna.
Then she must be the one we saw carried off by Sauron.
What can we do to help you?
I should trust him?
You don't have much choice.
If Magneto betrays me again,
you, Xavier, shall suffer my vengeance.
Tonight we raid the citadel and free my captive people,
or perish trying.
What have you done with Xavier?
Scott. Jean.
How good to see you again.
Kindly go collect our guests.
I shall go to great lengths to be of service.
Two X-Men, gift wrapped.
Very thoughtful, George. Now, let's...
Enough!
Wolverine. Scott!
Get down. I want Sinister!
Come on, Sinister. You want me?
Here I am.
Ruckus!
The trouble with this crowd is
you have to shout to make yourself heard.
Well done, Ruckus. I'm proud of you.
Hey, it's what I live for.
You escaped me once, X-Men.
You will not be so fortunate again.
Quickly, my children, make our guests comfortable aboard the aircraft,
and we'll be on our way.
Not too comfortable.
Wouldn't want to be a burden.
Stop him!
Ruckus, get Jean Grey to the plane!
Keep your distance, little man.
Jean!
You grabbed the wrong girl, fat boy!
No, he didn't.
Warned you I couldn't be trusted.
Let's go, boys.
Jean!
No!
Easy, pal. We'll find her no matter what it takes.
Your citadel, Magneto, a sickness in the heart of our land.
It was not meant to be.
When I built it, I had great ambitions for this world.
Unfortunately, Magneto, the ambitions of powerful men
usually bring strife and misery to those they would improve.
Thank you.
There seems to be a chill wind tonight.
The one that has been blowing since the day
Magneto first came to the Savage Land.
Times change, jungle lord.
People do not.
This passage will bring us up directly behind the laboratory.
Zabu is wary of this, Magneto. As am I.
As well you should be, fool!
But how...
The Master long ago discovered your secret passage.
Now, where were we?
Come! We will find another way to free my beloved.
Quickly, we can still get them!
No! Let the animals go for now!
We have the two we really wanted.
You are the Master?
Silence! You are not worthy to speak his name!
No, I am merely the keeper of these devices
while the Master is away.
You may call me Brainchild.
Now, quickly, chain them to the wall.
There is work to be done.
What are you doing?
Brainchild, that's enough.
Master!
At last you've returned to us.
Mr. Sinister?
I've heard the name.
Frankly, I'm not impressed.
Professor?
Thank heaven you're alive. We've been so worried, so frightened!
I'm sorry to have caused you concern, Jean.
As you've undoubtedly noticed, Magneto, I've made a few changes
since inheriting this rather primitive installation.
A tissue sample from Sauron incorporated into this device
enables it to draw energy from any mutants in the Savage Land,
rendering their powers inoperative.
The Mutates seem unaffected.
They have taken precautions.
I hadn't realized
a side effect would be your renewed ability to walk, Professor.
I do hope you enjoyed it.
What do you want from us, Sinister?
Your very essence. Your...
Boys, Morph's about to do something we might all regret.
You still fight my control?
I'm free of it!
Exquisitely poor timing, I'm afraid.
Now you'll have to share your professor's fate.
Proudly! Better to die an X-Man than to live as your slave!
I should have let you die.
All I need now is for you to contact your students, Professor,
and bring them here.
You know I won't do it.
You speak as if you have a choice.
You?
Look at me, Xavier, and obey!
Resistance is futile. Obey me.
Obey!
No, never.
No, Professor, don't listen to him!
Stop! You could destroy him!
You are a fool, Sinister.
The most powerful mutants on Earth shall hunt you down
to see Charles Xavier avenged.
He resists like no other!
But in vain.
Won't listen. Can't listen.
Too many people who depend on me.
Can't allow you to control my mind.
Won't allow you to...
What have you done to him?
Charles?
Oh, Charles.
Wakey, wakey.
What do you want from me, Master?
What's going on?
Cerebro confirms it's the Professor's code.
You found him?
Hello, my friends.
It is good to see you again.
Professor?
You're alive!
If you will rendezvous with me
at the following coordinates...
Wait.
This is all very odd.
The Professor was not at all like himself.
Gambit, check the origin of that transmission.
In a minute. The Blackbirdjust come in.
- Cyclops. - Cyclops.
Guess who we found?
Hey, wait up!
- We have to talk! - We have to talk!
Morph said something about Sinister having the Professor.
So, we're flying into a trap.
Suits me.
The Professor's unnatural lack of emotion
suggests coercion.
If the old man was forced to call us against his will,
it mean he need our help bad, trap or no trap.
If somebody is holding Xavier,
I'm gonna enjoy making them let go.
We're nearing the Professor's coordinates.
How could anyone survive down there?
I honestly don't know.
Brace yourselves, people, we're going in!
