Chapter 6 - Ground Zero: Let Chaos Reign

(General POV)

Location the New Earth, Chicago Battleground

Batman was in a dark Warehouse, the light have died, after a black fog appeared in the building.

He knew he wasn't alone in the warehouse, while the previous creatures have left, there was something else in there with him.

Activating his Detective Mode, on the lenses of his cowl lenses, he saw everything, slowly turning and scanning the warehouse that appeared in a blue coloring, with the Bat-computer in the Bat Cave, feeding him information on the crates, and microscopic traces around the warehouse.

As he looked towards the stack of containers and wooden crates to left, a huge and very fast mass passed before his eyes.

Tightening his grip of his larger pair of batarangs, he tried to track whatever kind of creature was in this building, he started moving around the warehouse, while keeping his senses focused.

Unknown to the Batman, above him was the werewolf, Sabrewulf, the latest servant of the Lord of the Forsaken, watching down at his prey, who is completely unaware that the wolf is preying on the bat.

Stealthily leaping to another crate, as Batman was completely on guard, approaching the south wall, forcing the creature, still scanning the room carefully, Batman already deduced that his stalker is smart, quite possibly another one of those unique monsters that Clark and Barry are fighting.

His detective skills, and deductive reasoning were telling him, this isn't the leader that orchestrated this invasion, but another follower.

Regardless on what or whom he's facing, he has to get out of this warehouse, and find whoever is responsible for this horrible attack on Chicago, just as he reached the wall.

Sabrewulf, was above him, his claws holding the wall as he looked down at the Batman, still looking around for him, Sabrewulf, he stealthily got closer, until his warm breathe was felt and when Batman looked up, Sabrewulf struck...

Location Outside the Warehouse, the Streets of Chicago

A wall was blasted open, as the graphity tagged wall of a highly damaged Chicagoan warehouse, was blown up.

Shooting out the dust cloud, from inside the warehouse was a grapple line, and soon came the black cowl-caped, and dark armored figure of the Batman, his chestplate having four claw marks, and bit of blood dripping from the fresh wound.

He barely survived the attack of the enemy, after getting the drop on him, Batman tossed his batarangs at the creature doing no damage, as it kept on attacking.

Using a high-leveled explosive, he'd escaped but not unscaved.

Then as the black fog, started emerging from the hole, followed by swarms of larger than normal bats, along with the creature.

As Batman landed on ground, switching off the Detective Mode of his lenses, he saw his enemy clearly...standing just at the edge of the hole, and rubble was a bluish grey furred werewolf.

There wasn't any other comparison, and Batman has face supernatural adversaries, countless times before...but this fell more into the JL-Dark territory.

He immediately noticed the cybernetics like claw and gauntlets, on this werewolf's hands, Sabrewulf started to walk over to Batman the bats swarming around the werewolf, as he spoke to Batman, in a deep aggressive tone, "A man pretending to be a creature of the dark? Ridiculous. I smell only a man, that should die in the gutter, like the rest of these...people" gesture around with his claw, to efficient to his final words.

Now it was clear, this werewolf is another intelligent creature, sent here by what or whoever is causing this chaos.

Roaring Sabrewulf got his claws onto the ground, and rushed forward like a beast in four legs.

Bursting fort at Bruce, in incredible speed leaping at Batman, who rolled at the side evading Sabrewulf's pounce attack, as he was still kneeling, he swiftly pressed a hidden button on his gauntlets, activating the electric generators that he'd installed, a long time ago, taking some inspiration from an old enemy, the Electrocutioner.

Sabrewulf, he immediately turned around and charged at his prey, tossing a highly concentrated smoke bomb onto his feet, Sabrewulf's senses were completely disorientated, snarling and hacking as his wolven nose was going haywire.

Taking advantage of the situation, Batman struck, hitting Sabrewulf with a electrified uppercut, shocking and hitting the werewolf hard, but in response Sabrewulf kicked Batman hard.

Knocking the Caped Crusader back, as Sabrewulf's cybernetic healing factor, kicked in, restoring his senses and Sabrewulf rushed out of the thick smoke that Batman made.

The two started fighting...or more like, Sabrewulf was overwhelming Batman, every blow and swipe that slightly connected onto him, was serious damage to his armor or body.

While Batman, he did his best to out-maneuver the werewolf, landing several electrified strikes, disorientate the beast with cape swipes, and occasionally toss a explosive or batarang at Sabrewulf.

But the literal monster he was facing, ignored all his attacks, and kept rushing at him, when Sabrewulf managed to pierce his claw onto Batman's side, and now in the grasp of the newly summoned Infernal Lord, he was about to bite off the head of Batman, when a couple of purple and green arrows hit Sabrewulf.

Covering the werewolf in ice, and hardening foam, allowing Batman to smash his head onto the freezing nose of the werewolf, freeing himself.

Holding his side, as it bleed, his fellow Leaguers and friends, Green Arrow and Black Canary, arrived with a red-haired woman in a black skin-tight suit with a yellow utility belt and a widow like emblem on said belt, and accompanying this woman, is a purple theme archer like Green Arrow.

And unfortunately this new archer, he was cocky talker like Hal, and Oliver sometimes, Green Arrow went over to Batman, and pulling a special trick arrow, to blast hardening foam to seal the wound.

Before they could speak, and plan their next move, the frozen form of Sabrewulf, around the hand started slightly shining green, as Sabrewulf's cybernetic gauntlets were infusing special chemical to boost the power, healing capabilities, and ferocity.

Breaking free from his makeshift prison, howling in fury, and then focus on his prey, but now instead of one, their are five of them, growling as he said, "Soo hungry. Your scent intoxicating. Tear you all apart." roaring again.

As Sabrewulf got on fours, and rush the heroes, immediately Green Arrow and Hawkeye started to shot various arrows, and Black Widow, started shooting her wrist stingers at Sabrewulf as well.

But they were uselessly exploded, and bounce off the fur of the werewolf, Batman yelled, "Everyone move!!" all five heroes, barely evaded a claw swipe from Sabrewulf, as the fight was just starting, against the werewolf.

Meanwhile, Mao he left the police station, and was walking through the streets of Chicago.

Spotting a man, with what he assumes is his family as he was leading a teenage boy, and woman, while mutalisks and browns chase after them.

Smiling, he mentally commanded his zerg and minions to back off, this shocked the family as Mao, swipe his right arm and a ball hellfire, soar at that family, burning them both in physically and spiritually, making all the brown minions in the nearby spot, yell and cheer, "Burn!! Burn!", nothing like burning someone alive.

As his Chaos System, stated [Congratulations you've just earned 3500 CP] seems that agonizing deaths, earn Mao larger amount of Chaos Points.

Mao, believes it was time for a bit more chaos, before the big reveal of himself and the merger of the worlds, speaking about that Mao needs a new power to expand his influence around this new Earth.

Along with summoning another creature into the legion, and unleash upon the masses of Chicago, and the heroes, as Mao kept on walking and started firing firebolts across the streets, destroying all buildings, and running civilians in hellfire, as another notification, [Congratulations you've just earned 6000 CP] more panic, deaths and destruction, adding more points to his overall Chaos Point bank.

Checking his status, from his red system, as it displayed his personal slightly, updated information.

Status Name: Mao Race: Devil. Gender: Male. Title: None. Chaos Points: 57250. Domain: The Void Powers/Abilities 1.Devil Physical Strengths. 2.Hellfire Command. 3.Umbrakinesis. 4.Domain Authority: Void. 5.Black Fogmaster. Higher Tier Units Brides-1.Cyn the Absolute Solver. Infernal Lords-1.Nomu King the Prime Nomu. 2.Sabrewulf the Eternal Wolf.

All good, his Chaos Points, nearly restore all the points, that he'd used to summon Sabrewulf who currently, devastating Batman, Black Canary, Black Widow, and the Archers.

First he wants some monsters, that can track down all victims across long space, and he remember about a certain monster from a horror shooter game, called the Burrowers from the Suffering series.

Lore states that those Malefactors, are fast tunneling creatures, tracking victims through sound and vibrations, done by the victims movement from above ground, plus a power that can allow him to manipulate the screens of the world.

From TVs, computers, and cellphones screens, Mao would be able to cause a large amount of panic, and spread the chaos and fear across the rest of the world, Mao, decided and commanded the Chaos System to give him, not only the Malefactor, but a new landscape to spawn them in a large and fast rate, as well as power he'd craved.

The system, that stated [Burrowers + Carnate Tainted Island + Power: Horror From the Screens= 27500 CP. Do you wish to proceed?] Mao immediately agreed, as 27500 were deducted from the 57250 Chaos Points as a total, reducing them to 29750 points in total.

Immediately he'd felt the Void expand again, as a dreary, bloodstained, and tainted island, filled with sin and eternal dark memories, emerged in the Void, and the Burrowers started tunneling across the Void.

Like all of the Malefactors from the Suffering series, the Burrowers have a basic human appearance.

The Burrowers resembles a human body tied up in a gunny sack with a considerable amount of wear to it, tightly constrained by leather straps, attatched to these straps are four long steel chains, tipped with sharp metal hooks, that they use to attack their victims.

Their head is exposed, though is contained inside a metal contraptions, Mao thought that they are perfect addition to his legion, Burrowers from game lore, are sensitive hunters, making the heroes and people in Chicago, easy prey.

Once again spreading the black fog, widespread across the city of Chicago, several dozen burrowers have crossed over, and almost immediately, as a cop was shooting at the mutalisks, trying to keep the flying zergs at bay, something horrific emerged behind the older man in blue uniform.

In a dirt covered, humanoid creature in a gunny sack, strapped in many tight leather straps, and chain tipped with razor sharp hooks, spun in place, slicing and tearing into the body of the old cop, before another burrower, appeared and violently slamming its body forward, swung the chains down and hooked on the cop's shoulder, and dragging down below...that was but one of the ever growing victims of these malefactors, and new addition of the Forsaken.

Another surge increase of Chaos Points, was happing at the rate people are dying and panicking across Chicago those 40-thousand+ points he'd used, would be replenished and surpass before the day ends...especially with what Mao was about to do next...

Location the SHIELD Helicarrier, Carrier Main Deck

In a highly advance deck, with the SHIELD's eagle emblem on the center of the wide path, that divides the lines of men and women working on the various computers and systems that operate the whole Helicarrier.

Standing in the main station of the deck, with two sets of screens on the both sides of the station, a bald African-American man, with a eye-patch and a dark lock style short beard and mustache.

Wearing a fully black colored clothing, from his coat, to his pants, his name Nick Fury, the Director of SHIELD, a man that has seen the worst of the world was shocked on what was happening, right now in Chicago. Drones sent to watch over the events that were unfolding on the city, not only unknown people were fighting the invading creatures.

Not only that already three high-leveled threats have been identified, three pictures appeared on the right screen of Fury, these images showed Nomu King, who was overpowering both the Hulk and Thor, as well as another hero that showed unbelievable level of power and durability, reports that no one knows where they came from call this man, Superman, supposedly the most powerful being on the Earth.

Turning away his attention from Nomu King and Superman, he turned his sight on a creepy black haired, and bow wearing girl, with skin grafted onto somekind robot, she was slaughtering and eating people while taking on the kid, Spiderman, and another new variable some speedster called the Flash, this girl...thing, was keeping up with two of them, and even caused some damage to Parker and the Flash, during their clash.

Lastly was the image of a werewolf of bluish grey fur, fighting and dominating two of Fury's most trusted and capable agents, Natasha Romanoff and Clint Barton, along three others unknowns.

Reports list their names as the Batman, Green Arrow, and Black Canary, from Gotham and Central City respectfully, two cities that didn't exist, until now.

Not only those but Metropolis, Themyscira, and more have appeared allover the Earth, along with soo much data and news reports of heroes, events, and more.

Fury, he didn't like this, not one bit, and these Justice Leaguers, at least their helping with the fight against these invaders.

Captain Marvel, Black Panther, along with the X-men, and a group known as the Midnight Suns, that Doctor Strange was leading was handling with the chaos happening across the planet, while the rest of the Avengers are trying to stop the invasion in Chicago.

Just as his second-in-command, a short black-haired woman with a blue long sleeved SHIELD uniform with a SHIELD emblem on her chest, white gloves, belt, and boots, her name is Maria Hill.

Before she could report on what happening across the Earth, all the screens started to crash, then turn into static, before a new person appeared in the screen.

A pale skinned, white-haired, dark eyed young man, with sharp-teeth exposed in a wide smile, which showed clear malice.

He started speaking, "Good day, everyone in New Earth. I'm the proud soul, responsible for all this chaos, death, and merging these worlds." laughing as the screen showed all the creatures gathering around him, and Cyn, Sabrewulf, and Nomu King stood beside him, appearing from the black fog.

Fury knew whoever this guy is, he is a very dangerous man, as Mao started talking again...
