The mysterious girl appears and takes Strange to The Mindless Ones, destructive creatures who are held back from killing by Dormammu's willpower. Dormammu imprisons the girl for betraying him and the battle begins. With Dormammu concentrating on defeating his foe the barrier holding The Mindless Ones collapses; he is forced to join forces with Strange to stop them. Now indebted to Strange Dormammu accepts his terms: no harm shall come to the girl and he must never set foot on Earth. Upon Dr. Strange's return to earth The Ancient One rewards him with a new cloak of levitation and amulet.
