A unpredictable mercenary is captured and begins telling a beloved fairy tale to a kidnapped child. He narrates a past adventure where he formed a team to protect a powerful young mutant from a time-traveling cybernetic soldier. His version of the story is heavily edited and reframed, offering a skewed and more comedic take on the violent events.
