Chapter 7 - Ground Zero: Twisted Revelations

(General POV)

Location the New Earth, Chicago Battleground-Before Mao's Reveal

As the heroes were desperately fighting the legion of the Forsaken, Cyn managing to stab one of the Flash's shoulder, causing him unbelievable pain, and for some reason he couldn't phase through her mantis claw.

Pinning the Scarlet Speedster to the ground, while her disassembly drones, handle the Web-crawler desperate to help his new ally.

But the constant rockets, bullet, and swipes from the drones keep Spiderman from helping the Flash, as Cyn giggled her lips and face covered in gore from innocent people that have become her meal, during the little game between her and these two heroes.

Looking at the little runner, pinned by her prey, tapping her white, robotic fingers playfully on the white background, lightning bolt emblem on Flash's chest.

As she said to Flash, "I can hear heart beating, almost like invitation for me." adding a bit of her strength into her fingers, she started scrapping away Barry's suit and flesh making him scream, as Cyn said in a happy tone, "Let me in. Let me in. Let me in." over and over.

Just when she'd reached the muscle tissue of her prey, black fog started forming all around the area, immediately her drones disengage Spiderman, and were diving into the cloud of black fog, around the area.

As Cyn separated herself from Flash chest, and said, "Ohh God, fucking damn it!!" her cursing sounding slightly distorted almost like a glitching, censoring measure.

Turning to Spiderman who was web-swinging, in great speed, his suit covered in scuffles, cuts, and burns.

She swung her mantis appendage, and tossing Flash over at Spiderman, who caught his ally, as Cyn sighed, saying, "So close to having fresh speedster heart, ohh well. My hubby is calling, soo bye, bye for a bit." Cyn was shrouded in black fog, and dissappear.

In the downtown of Chicago, Superman was punched into a gas station, causing a huge explosion from his impact against the gas pumps and several abandoned cars.

Hulk was getting beat up, by Nomu King, all the punches that Hulk tried to throw back, all were useless on Nomu King, having activated his Muscle Augmentation quirk, and his Shock Absorption quirk working in tandem, making the the Big Green Machine's attacks useless.

As Hulk looked utterly beaten up, only Thor was doing some semblance of damage against the bird-headed beast, his hammer strikes weren't as damaging, unless he charged them with magical lightning, those blows didn't only burn but managed to break or even destroy piece of black muscle-armor beast.

Only for Nomu King's third power to be revealed to Thor and the others that have been fighting Nomu King for a while now, Nomu King has a powerful and fast healing factor, almost at the level of Deadpool!!! [Deadpool: Hey writer!! When is the main protagonist, awesome hero, and gut busting comedian, gonna appear? Hello? Writer? Are you...(Mute)]

Making this Nomu King, a even greater danger for all three heroes, as Nomu King he managed to tackle Thor onto the ground, causing a big shake and shockwave allover the downtown area, from the impact of them.

Before Thor could react, his helmet no longer on his head, exposed for a brutal beatdown, as huge black fists, started hammering down punches at his head.

Each blow causing a small earthshake, the onslaught of blows were to brutal for Thor to willstand, as he was fading and Nomu King yelled at his victim, "Die!! Die!! Smash!! Die!! Crush!!! Smash!! Smash!! Die!!!" over and over.

Hulk getting up, saw Thor being brutalized, and not moving, he yelled his friend's name, "Thor!!!" just as he was about to jump in and help Thor, pain shot through his beaten body.

And Browns and Mutalisks started amassing on the area, the insectoid drakes attacking Hulk with sharp barbs, and acid blasts, preventing him from helping the Prince of Asgard, Superman who also emerge from his makeshift tomb of rubble, saw the creatures attacking Thor and Hulk.

Just when he was about to blast fort and help the two, a black fog started to cover the downtown area.

The mutalisks disengage and flew into the black fog, as the brown minions all "ohhh" and said, "The Master calling." they scramble to go through the fog as well, while Nomu King stopped beating down at Thor.

Grumbling, then pointing down at the barely conscious Asgardian, saying, "Nomu King will smash you. Later. Hammer Man." disactivating his Muscle Augmentation quirk, and reverting to his base state, before leaping away into a thick mass of black fog, allowing Hulk to leap next to his buddy.

As Superman, he couldn't hear any of those creatures nearby, so he flew over to Hulk, checking over the batter, heavily bruised and injured Thor, Superman asked Hulk what he can do to help, Hulk grumble a bit and told Superman to smash the monster that did this to his friend, and help Iron Man and the other stop this all invasion.

Nodding to Hulk, Hulk as genter for a hulk, pick up Thor to take him to safety, before Hulk super jump away, Superman, he told Hulk he was sorry for the punch earlier, Hulk "hmmph" and said to Superman, "Let me punch later, and will be square." jumping away, leaving Superman alone to chuckle.

As the Man of Steel flew away, in the air, in another part of Chicago, Tony Stark the Iron Man flying through the damaged, and smoking Chicagoan building.

Tracking the surge of still unidentified energy towards the dark geyser, when Friday, was reporting that many people were being abducted by a black fog, spreading across the city.

She told Iron Man, that Hawkeye and Black Widow, along the identified superheroes, Batman, Green Arrow, and Black Canary were fighting a werewolf, as the AI assistant of Stark was showing live video feed of the fight, against Sabrewulf.

Scanning the werewolf, possessing cybernetic implants making the monster a greater threat, as all of Batman's gadgets were useless.

Sabrewulf powered through all the trick arrows that both Hawkeye and this Green Arrow guy shot at the bluish grey werewolf, if not for the beautiful Black Canary's sonic screams, blasting at Sabrewulf, the werewolf would have killed Batman, Green Arrow, and Hawkeye multiple times in the fight.

As this werewolf was too strong, tough, and fast for them to keep fighting, until Natasha pulled a final trick against the big bad wolf, trusting the other to keep Sabrewulf busy, while she'd planted, carefully placed explosive on a abandoned nearby building.

Triggering explosion while Black Canary, released a continuous [Canary Cry] on Sabrewulf, in order to keep him in the same spot...that the building was falling towards.

Growling in pain, as Sabrewulf tried to use his clawed hands to block out the scream, crushing down on his body, and ears...when Diana stopped, cause she was utterly drained of energy and stamina from keeping a [Cry] like that for a long period of time.

But instead of crushing Sabrewulf, Sabrewulf, he actually held the weight of the building chunk up, Batman acted and threw a electrified batarang at the werewolf, but then a hooked chain emerged from underneath the ground, and intercepted the batarang, destroying it, and in turn protected Sabrewulf.

Then dozen of monsters that Tony commented should be stars in a horror movie, appeared from underneath the ground, they look like gunny sack wrapped and strapped people, with a metal contraption on their heads, and chains attached to their straps, using them to hook the building that Sabrewulf held up, tearing it apart and rescuing Sabrewulf, who was pissed.

As the Burrowers were about to attack alongside Sabrewulf, and Iron Man he was about to instruct Friday to lead him, towards the fight.

So he can help Nat, Clint, and these three other heroes, but suddenly in his helm displays, the same dark, black fog started to spread around Tony's fellow Avengers and these guys, called Batman, Black Canary, and Green Arrow, he watched as Sabrewulf ordered the bound, subterranean creatures to leave, and Sabrewulf growled at the heroes and was swallow by the fog, disappearing.

This confused Iron Man, and Batman, they each contacted their teammates, demanding update on their status, each Avenger and Leaguer reported that they were banged up, from individuals confrontations with the unique monsters of these invaders.

Flash jokingly stated that Darkseid, Parademons weren't this bad, while Spideman said to his teammates, that Chitauri, were a vacation compared to all these monsters and creatures.

Before they could make a plan, and learn about the other heroes that were in the fight against these unknown invaders, all screens allover the city and beyond...even the screens from Metropolis, Lex Corp, Daily Planet news building, Gotham, Arkham, Central City, Kahndaq, Latveria, Wakanda, HYDRA base, AIM labs, the ARGUS building, SHIELD Helicarrier, and more.

No city, hidden base, and lab was free from this event, all tvs, monitor, computer, and cellphone screen was onslaughted with dark images, from a black and white eye looking back and forth, changing to bloody dismembered bodied, then turning to a unknown castle under a large bright moon, surrounded by storm clouds with red lightning and thunder, and many more horrible images.

Quite disturbing and no one could turn off these monitors or screens, until the images stopped and showed a young pale skinned, white spiky short hair, with dark not normal...or sane eyes, smiling in a twisted way with razor sharp-teeth.

Present Time...

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.

Mao, he was standing on the tallest...currently...building in the city, as majority of Chicago was devastated by his Forsaken, Cyn she was snuggling up to him, he looked down at her, her bloodstained smile so lovely and cut to Mao, Sabrewulf stood beside his right hand, and Mao petted his werewolf Infernal Lord, as Nomu King, stood by the side of the roof with his arms crossed.

Mao laugh again, as he bows in flamboyant fashion, introducing himself as Mao, the one responsible for forcibly and permanently merging two Earths from vastly different universes into one, as he spread his arms making the screens around the world, see his legion of brown minions, mutalisks, disassembly drones, and the recently summoned burrowers.

Then the screens turned to Mao again, as he showed his first bride, Cyn pulling a piece of intestine out a still alive man, eating him, Mao introduced her as Cyn, his eldritch, robotic wife of his harem, swallowing the bloody meat, she smiled, and gave a peace sign to the public watching through the screens.

All horrified at the sight of man being ate, while still alive, by some creature that looks like a girl was forcibly merged onto her form...not knowing that was exactly what happened to Cyn and Tessa, in Murder Drones.

Then Mao introduced Nomu King, and Sabrewulf two of his Infernal Lords, he was being careful to not reveal or spoil everything yet to come, as he'd told the name of his legion the Forsaken, monsters from a horrible, dark, alternate reality, that has watched over both Earths when they were separated and found it...too boring, and stagnant.

So he and his Forsaken, decided to change the course of this story, like something the Beyonder would do, he made this from madman like the Joker, obtained the Eye of Agamotto, or Dr. Doom gaining Anti-life Equation, all cause it'll be chaos.

Making Mao, and his followers smile, as he spoke, "All the blood, all the screams, all the pain, death, panic, mayhem, destruction...ohh it'll be so much fun!!! Our own playground, with endless..." as a small group of browns, brought some kid they snatched from the streets, while causing havoc.

Mao grabbed the teen, by head showing everyone as he slowly crushed and burst the head of the kid in bloody gore, as Mao finished speaking, "...fun.", this twisted display of mindless, cruel, insanity.

It disturbed many, and cause another surge of Chaos Points for him, as he went on to say what is happening to "New Earth's" Chicago was just the beginning, as Mao made a massive shroud of black fog, cover the entire building that he and the entirety of the Forsaken.

As repulsor blasts, missiles, arrows, sonic blasts, and much more, fade into the black fog, without causing any damage to the Forsaken or the building that they're all gathered on, as the Avenger and the Justice League have arrived, hearing every twisted word from Mao, that is clearly the one responsible for all this chaos.

They couldn't believe such being, that doesn't look over twenty could be this twisted that he would get along with Carnage and the Joker with ease.

The black fog, faded away under Mao's command, and he'd stopped messing with the screen monitors across the planet, Mao was slightly kneeling over the edge of the roof, looking at Iron Man, Spiderman, Hawkeye, Captain America, Black Widow of the Avengers, while Batman, Superman, Green Arrow, Black Canary, and Flash of the Justice League.

All with various show of wounds, and fatigue from fighting his legions, the only ones that looked more pristine condition being Iron Man, and Superman, but regardless, they started to preach and demand that Mao stopped his invasion, fix the world, and return all that he has abducted...Mao, looked at them for a moment, before making a rising claw swipe, making all the shadows of the area form a giant, growing wave of deadly, sharp shadows, surging forwards.

Forcing both hero groups to split up, and evade the attack, while Mao's shadow wave, destroyed the entire block in a 20-radius.

He smiled, as Mao order his bride, infernal lords, and legions, not to interfere for it was now time for him to enjoy himself fully in this party, bending the shadows to make a pair of large shadowy, devil like wings, he leap off the edge and took flight, diving straight at Iron Man, first.

Tony saw Mao gunning for him, and decided to blast his uni-beam at the big bad boss of the Forsaken, starting the epic clash between the Lord of the Forsaken, against the Justice League and the Avengers, this is going to be soo much fun for Mao, as the uni-beam got closer, only for Mao fold his wings, and twirl towards the right, dodging the light blue beam, and Mao once close to Tony Stark, he punched him across his helm face...
