Chapter 4 - Ground Zero: Invasion Begins

(General POV)

Location the Earths-Overview

Things on both Earths of the Marvel and DC universes were getting more hectic, and disastrous across the globes.

Earthquakes, landslides, floods, and other disasters were growing in number and force, allover those Earths, as both the Justice League on one Earth, and the Avengers in another, had to call for assistance from other groups to try and stablelize the mayhem.

The X-men were called, Storm a African-American beauty of white hair, a white X-man uniform, was using every bit of her power to combat the wild disasters...until, a red lightning storm clouds started to form from Chicago, causing all natural disasters to worsen.

Meanwhile in the DC Earth, Flash, Kid Flash, and other with some abilities to combat the vile weather.

Joined forces but just like in the Marvel Earth, once those strange and ominous cloud emerge all became much worse.

The destruction wrought by whatever force that was growing in power from Chicago, force Batman to call the Titans, and the Team to provide backup, while in Marvel, the X-men were a great aid, but it was the appearance of the Midnight Sun, under the leadership of Doctor Strange that was the biggest shock to the Avengers.

In the end Iron Man, and Batman from their respected worlds, ordered some of their teammates to go with them to Chicago, and deal with whatever is causing all this chaos!!

Location the Void of the Forsaken

It was finally time, after letting both worlds suffer a bit of chaos, Mao, started to focus his authority over his realm, and the black fog that now dwell within it and himself forwards.

Making a vast black, ghastly void of thick fog and shadows, a humongous gateway through Mao's Void and the Earths, Cyn giggled, twitching a bit that her right eye, glitched.

So she did just like the scene of her chasing Uzi and N, licking her eye and saying, "Lick." Mao, he chuckled and ruffled her hair, making her very happy.

He then commanded all his legion, the browns, the mutalisks, and the disassembly drones, all surged forward through the rift, then Mao told Cyn and Nomu-King to go on next, as he was last to walk.

His cape-jacket, bursting with shadowy whisp at the end of the sleeves and cape-jacket, walking into the rift as well, the minute that he'd crossover the worlds will merge...Mao, with a wide smile of sharp-teeth, was excited to cause destruction and death in a massive scale.

Location the Earth, Chicago; Illinois

The both Earths, were becoming even more chaotic, as a massive burst of energy occurred all around the city of Chicago.

A black fog and shadows came out of black geyser of energy, that started coat the whole of both Earths, causing a giant mushroom like cloud, surging with red lightning over the city of Chicago.

Both worlds, suffered the greatest earthquake, causing some much destruction, and as cities and towns, suffer unbelievable amounts of damage, heroes from two worlds rushed to save the people.

As this chaos was happening, Chicago was suffering a worse amount of catastrophic devastation, over all other cities.

Then the creatures started to emerge from the pillar, geyser of dark energy from the center of Chicago.

Brown colored gremlins, with various scraps of junk used as armor, wielding various things as weapons, pitchforks, hooks, wood clubs, knives, and more, rushing out like a swarm.

Attacking everything, destroying cars, buildings, and killing people without restrain, smashing skulls into paste, chopping and stabbing people, with big toothy smiles, filled with wickedness and excitement.

All yelling, "For Master!!", "For the Darklord!!!", "This is fun!!", but the Brown Minions weren't just destroying and killing everything, when they find something they'd like they wield a new weapon or armor or hat for themselves, exclaiming that it was "Treasure", the browns weren't the end.

As the flying insectoid drakes, the mutalisks started coming through to the rift as well, a massive flying swarm.

Shooting either razor, sharp barb that penetrated through anything, be it cemeten or metal, or they would shot acidic projectiles, melting all unfortunately hit by the mutalisks attacks.

Iron Man, flying to Chicago from the west, he was getting reports of monsters attacking Chicago, and a large amount of casualties was starting to rise.

Batman on his Batjet, was also receiving similar reports, as he flew to Chicago from the east, both men contacted their teams about what is happening in Chicago.

As Friday, reported to Tony, and the Bat-computer was showing Bruce that many new landmasses, cities, and islands started to appear across the planet, as the seismic anomalies were...ceasing, whatever was happening Chicago, it was leading to this invasion.

Superman and Flash arrived in the city, being attacked by two different type creatures, Superman used his comms, to report the gremlins and flying creatures were appearing allover Chicago.

Appearing from rifts opening everywhere in the city, Flash running in a yellow lightning streak, through the city, smashing through Browns and rescuing as many people that he could, taking them inside the buildings away from the attacks.

He reported that he'd found some unknown person, a man in a red and golden suit, flying through the city blasting the flying creature.

Iron Man, he managed to arrive first to Chicago, and immediately he started to blast these creatures, Friday, she couldn't identify what these creatures are, assuming that it was 95% alien.

She reported to Tony, that Quinjet has arrived into the city, Hulk, Black Window, Hawkeye, and Captain America have made landfall.

But Friday, she also reported that unknown people were fighting against the invaders as well, showing Tony on his head-display, images of Flash fighting through the browns, Superman shooting his heat vision at the mutalisks, and last a advance jet in the shape of a...bat?...has entered the Chicago airfield, shooting down the mutalisks, and helping people trapped on buildings and roofs.

Tony, he "huh" and said, "Friday. Pull up, any report of these guys." and super fast moment, Tony once again was confused on these reports and information that Friday provided.

These dates, these places...they didn't exist, yet these were official reports, Friday would have filter through false reports...so who are these guys.

Batman in his aircraft, he'd had similar reports about Iron Man, Captain America, and the rest of the Avengers...something was wrong, Batman suspected it might have been somekind of time aberration.

When his Batjet, came under attack by a new kind of invaders, they were obvious female from their figure, possess a sleek, shining form, with bladed steel wings, syringe tipped tails, and various weapons at the end of their arms.

With wicket smiles, they started bombarding and slashing at the Batjet, causing massive amount of damage.

Before Batman can use countermeasures against these creatures, a new one appeared, a bigger one.

Leaping from building to building, smashing concrete, cement, steel, and glass under it weight and force, a massive humanoid monster, with a bird like head that has a exposed brain, leap at the Batjet.

The disassembly drones, scattered and let Nomu-King, have a direct shot at the Batman, seeing this threat was ignoring all bullets, and rockets that Batman fired at it, he pulled the emergency ejection switch, blasting open the cockpit and letting Batman out the aircraft.

Quickly taking out his grapple gun, he fired at a nearby skyscraper and pulled himself away, as Nomu-King smashed into the Batjet, destroying it in the impact.

Nomu-King, landed on the gravel of a small building's roof, he look back and saw the Batman, spreading his cape like bat wings, gliding away from some Browns that were at the skyscraper that he was about to climb.

Roaring, Nomu King yelled, "Nomu-King, smash puny bat!!" super jumping, straight at Batman.

Seeing the threat, fast approaching him, Batman reached to his utility belt and pulled out some smoke pellets, tossing them straight at Nomu King, blinding and disorienting him.

Nomu King, flew passed Batman, and smashed into a multi-windowed/stories skyscraper, Batman reached his comms and warned everyone of the new threats that have appeared.

Nomu King, shuke his head the office, that he'd crashed into was a complete mess, papers scattered everywhere along with destroyed cubicals, and computer, Nomu King, he smashed his giant bluish black fist onto the floor, making a huge hole, and shaking the building.

But before he could leave the building, and chase after the bat, that made him crash into this place, a huge green skinned, musclebound, giant with black slightly spiky, short hair, purple short wearing creature smashed into the building.

A huge hole, as the Hulk came to smash, he spoke in a deep voice, "You're one ugly monster, buddy." Nomu King, roared and yelled back at the Hulk, "Nomu-King, smash green giant man!!!" Hulk, he looked bewildered at Nomu King, and asked to himself, "Was I like that before?"

When suddenly Nomu King, blasted forward with his fist pulled back, and punched the Hulk, soo hard on the face, sending him flying and crashing through the next couple building behind the Big Green Machine.

Captain America, Hawkeye, and Black Window where on the street level, when they saw Hulk being blasted out the building, then some bluish black hulk-like thing, went after the big guy.

Cap, smashing a brown with a shield toss, saw this as he'd instinctively caught his vibranium shield with his red, blue, white color around a white star.

In all his years, fighting alongside his friends, he could count in one hand, how many people and things have been able to knock back Hulk, as another Brown tried to stab Cap in the back, when a arrow pierced through its skull.

Some distance away was Clint Barton, Hawkeye, his purple shades wearing, blond haired archer, had a cocky smile.

As he spoke to Cap on the comms, "Thank me later, Cap." Captain America, immediately responded back by throwing his shield at a wrecked car, ricochetting the shield to hit a mutalisk, behind him, and Hawkeye heard from the comms, "We're even Clint." making Clint, laugh.

As he pulled another arrow, and shot it at a small group of mutalisks, exploding them.

Natasha the Black Widow, she'd chuckled at Cap and Clint's banter, as she'd pulled her special stun batons, and started beating Brown...a brown even whistled, calling her, "Pretty lady." before she snapped his neck.

All of them heard from the comms, that there were new enemies, as Iron Man was fighting against some hungry and blood covered disassembly drones, in the air.

Just as Black Widow, copied to Tony's head's up, a green colored arrow flew passed her, and released a electric shock to a bunch of brown minions.

Then the roar of a motorcycle, as a blond woman with a biker vibe, came and behind her was a archer...that looked like a dark green colored Robin Hood, shooting various arrows at the monsters, Natasha, she was almost impressed whoever this guy is, he was almost as good as Barton.

The two new arrival got off the bike, and immediately Black Canary, she screamed blasting away many browns and mutalisks.

While Green Arrow, was backing her up, shooting various trick arrows at the invaders, they circled around Black Widow, a quick alliance, standing back to back to back.

As they'd fought against monsters, Natasha, asked their names, Oliver in a deep voice, responded, "Green Arrow", while Diana in a more normal tone, said "Black Canary" Natasha made sure to memorize their tones, body structures and more for the future.

Respecting their desire to remain anonymous, she responded, after throwing some shock-tags, electrocuting some monsters, and saying in a smug tone, "Black Widow"

In another part of Chicago, some disassembly drones were breaking into a barricaded building, filled with people.

Licking their lips, in anticipation of feasting and killing the civilians inside the place, sure they could have blasted their way into the building, but like any predators, stalking their prey, they play with their food.

Hence using saw blades to slowly cut their way in, as the people panicked and cried for help, as the dozen of drones, were licking their lips in excitement from outside, armed with claws, blades, and more waiting to rip and tear.

But unknown to them a figure, easily standing on a street lightpost, was a young man in a red and blue suit, with white accents especially on the arms and knuckles area, a black spider web pattern and spider emblem on his chest.

Peter Parker, Spiderman has arrived to the battle.

He is one of the younger members of the Avengers, but he has proven to be quite the skilled and talented young superhero from Queens.

Spiderman, he couldn't used his witty banter at the moment, people needed his help and fast, aiming his hands at the disassembly drone, that was almost through the barricade, he shot his webs at that drone.

Sticking two strand at her back, and with backflip, aided strong pull Spiderman, pulled that drone back fast, smashing onto the others, and making the still webbed drone airborne, Peter, raised his arms over his head and the momentum of his move, smashed the drone onto the road hard, crushing her head...putting her out of commission for a while.

Flipping a couple times in the air, and landing smoothly on the ground, the other drones were starting to get back up.

His white lensed eyes, focused on the...girl...monsters in front of him, he said, "Sorry girls, didn't mean...well yeah, I did mean to cut in." immediately his spider sense tingled, and the drone switch their blades and claws for machine guns, and cannons.

Firing their guns at Spiderman, with unbelievable speed, agility, and reflexes, he'd evaded all the bullets and cannon blast, web-swinging to a drone and smashed her onto the wall via a swinging kick.

Using his unpredictable fighting style, he smashed, punched, kicked, and webbed the drones with ease, just as he was reinsuring the people, his spider sense acted up again.

Ducking under a scythe like appendage of another girl with black hair and a bow...and when Spiderman leaped away and got look at his attacked, he was disturbed.

A girl with yellow X eyes, sharp-teeth, skin grafted onto a robotic like body, she turned cutesy, as her third mantis like appendage coming out her back, twitched a bit, and she'd said in a cheerful sounding voice, "Yeah. Get snuck upon." and even giving Peter a peace sign.

Spiderman, didn't need his spider sense to tell him this girl...this thing, is dangerous, getting in a low position, Cyn was hungry and eager for some spider legs...
