The older X-Terminators try to get to the graveyard where N'Astirh is holding their young friends but find the going difficult as the city has come alive and is attacking them at every turn. Meanwhile, N'Astirh is trying to force Taki into making a computer that will expedite his magical spells but finds the abrasive youngster tough to deal with. When N'Astirh captures the older kids and threatens them with death, however, Taki is forced to complete his machine that will allow the demon to use innocent babies to open a portal to Limbo and begin his conquest of New York.
