(Matt Murdock/Daredevil POV)
Location the New Earth: Manhattan; New York, Hell's Kitchen-Nelson and Murdock Law Firm: Matt's Office
I was reading Braille reports on my table, these files are a secret message from SHIELD, to request my and the Defenders help in investigating and reporting any information on the Forsaken.
Putting the files down, I stood up from chair, using my special walking cane, to only tap the wooden floor once, sending a clear picture of the world around me, my gift, after the chemical accident at my youth took, my sight and gave me this ability.
I could see more, than when I'd had sight, cause I'm Matt Murdock, the Man Without Fear, the Devil of Hell's Kitchen, Daredevil.
My lost sight, has gave me echolocative radar senses, letting me detect who someone is, or detect the truth just by the heartbeats of a person.
I suspect that the reason that SHIELD, and even the Avengers want my help, while making sure my friend and partner, Foggy, doesn't get involves, I contacted the Defenders, Danny Rand aka Iron Fist, has promised Rand Inds. support, he has been my friend and teammate in the battle to protect my childhood home, Hell's Kitchen.
Patsy Walker, also known as Hellcat, superhuman level of physical abilities including enhanced strength, speed, reflexes, agility, endurance, and senses, also member of the Defenders, when Chicago fell, Patsy has double her efforts to keep Hell's Kitchen safe.
Not that we didn't understand her, as I turn to the window and felt the sun, shining through, we'll fear Mao next moved, if he'd reveal someone's identity on another poll, attack a city again, or who knows what.
And while I couldn't see what horrors that monster and his Forsaken are doing to those people, I could hear...I could every gruesome detail happening through the broadcasts.
I tried to listen for any clue that could help against the Forsaken...but I've came out with nothing, I tighten the grip on my cane, thinking of the other Defenders, right now putting in the extra effort to make sure that Hell's Kitchen was safe and clear of possible Forsaken activity.
Luke Cage or as sometimes called Power Man, and Jessica Jones-Cage, Luke's wife and partner, also known as Power Woman, they are using all their resources and skills to interrogate, and find out clues about this place that Mao, took Chicago, from the few winners of Mao's game.
The Bat of Gotham, and his fellow bats, have been doing the same as Luke and Jessica, and even some of their group, have relocated to Hell's Kitchen, a young woman, codename Bluebird, along with another girl, going by Orphan, and a man wearing a advance suit, modeled after a bat, calling himself Batwing.
Not only those three bats, but two woman with connection in some capacity with the Justice League, first a crossbow wielding heroine named the Huntress, and a green theme ninja, name Cheshire, while I'd welcome the fight against crime in Hell's Kitchen, I couldn't appreciate that they'd more than once interfered with me and Elektra, eliminating Hand operations on the area.
I chuckle, as I'd remembered that Elektra, nearly traded blow with Bluebird, who I'd discovered to be Harper Row, after meeting both her in and off her custome, remembering her heartbeat, and tone of her voice, even with that advance voice scrambler...under my ears, almost nothing escape my noticed.
Elektra, she was clearly not happy with the weak hearted interloper on their terf, I'd had to play peace maker, and speaking of my dear Elektra, she hasn't had any luck with her contacts of mystical subject with the Forsaken, another dead end.
Sighing at that memory, I started making my way out the office, hearing Foggy, has arrived and was talking on the phone of his area, I smile as Foggy was trying to secure a case, involving one of the "Winners" of the Forsaken Games, demanding some compensations for unlawful termination of employment, after going into Mao's place.
Slipping some papers under the door, that will help his case, I leave the law firm, using a few light tap of my walking cane, I saw everything and evaded obstacles and people, while I think of the Defenders next move.
Bobby aka Iceman, a mutant that left the X-men to become his own hero, was now apart of the Defenders, he was young but his heart is in the right place, I believe that he'll become a great hero eventually, he just need to grow-up a bit more.
But his connection with the X-men, helped us try to see if Mao and his Forsaken were outerworldly mutants...but Xavier, confirmed that not only weren't they not mutants, none of them were human, at least that was one less thing on the list to check, continuing my walk, evading a distracted kid on a skateboard listening to music, I sidestepped and used my cane to stop him, before he rode to the road, and was run over by a speeding car.
Hearing the kid, being shocked and padding himself, I continued to walk.
As I was going to my favorite Cafe, I felt my vibrating phone, picking up, I heard the deep voice of Luke, he was telling me that something was happening in the south side of Hell's Kitchen, a gang boss and his lieutenants were viciously murdered, with multiple stabs and slashes.
I wonder if this had something to do with the Hand, or if Kingpin, like usually hired someone to assassinate, rivals or traitors, or maybe even failures, before I could reply at Luke, my ear picked up, intense static sound I hiss in pain, letting go of my phone, as the close proximity and my extreme sensitivity, making that sound ten-times louder and painful for me.
As my ringing ears were easing, and my echolocative hearing, was returning to normal and I started hearing the crowd, panicking and taking about the screens...which only meant that Mao was about to make a broadcast...but I didn't hear any screaming or the sounds normally associated with one of Mao's games, didn't sound.
Instead from what I'd heard from the others watching at the street motion, and other screens around the area, seems that Mao was alerting his next attack on one of the new cities, Bludhaven...
(General POV)
Location the Void of the Forsaken
Mao along with Cyn and Lilithmon beside him, legions of brown and red minions, along with disassembly drones, mutalisks, and roaches, in hundreds of hundreds thousands, waiting for Mao's command for the next invasion.
And the reason for this attack, a diversion, while he and the girls attacked Bludhaven, the terf of a certain Nightwing superhero, Blackmore would start making move unnoticed by the heroes, as his third Infernal Lord, took the Malefactors and Sabrewulf to kill off all competitors, and establish his gang, as well as power base in Hell's Kitchen, before any of the Defenders, Birds of Prey, the Hand, or even the Kingpin has a opportunity to retaliate.
As Mao held both blushing Cyn and Lilithmon closing, kissing them making them very happy, he promised them a great time, making them smile and excited, especially Lilithmon as this will be her debut, as the second bride and member of the Forsaken.
Before opening a rift in the underbelly of Bludhaven, Mao decided to empower himself, as not only did he'd expect the Avengers, Justice League, and obviously Titans to come, and they'll dominate in a fight of skill, so first he needed a power to better command in detail the zerg, he needed to be a telepath.
Mao didn't need telekinesis, a lot of magic worked like that, but mind reading and speaking, would make commanding his legions, along with order his lords, and brides much easier on the battles, also he'd needed a special defense against psychics.
A mind palace, which was completely twisted and horrific, it would be like a psychic trying to mind read Cthulhu himself both stupid and suicide, lastly Mao needed to improve his fighting skills, not needing to be a supernatural fighter, like Batman, Nightwing, Captain America, or Iron Fist.
He just needed to be able to fight at their level, and hurt them, Mao commanded his Chaos System to give him these powers and skill, as it stated to him, [Power: Telepath + Power: Nightmare Mind Palace + Skill: Expert Level Martial Art Fighter= 23400 CP. Do you wish to proceed?] Mao accepted and immediately his mind expanded in a new level, filling the Hive Mind of the Swarm, only he is the Swarm and eye of the storm.
Mao felt every zerg under his more direct command, and they welcome his command and rule know he'd understood Kerrigan's phrases on the Starcraft series.
In his mind and knowledge expanded, his body instinctively marked with multiple martial arts, he almost felt his previous fighting abilities...completely ridiculous in comparison.
If not for his super physical abilities, and powers, Captain America would have kicked his ass.
Now with this upgrades, Mao told his system to show his status now with the updates he has done to himself, a red transparent screen appeared right in front of his face, and display his information.
Status Name: Mao Race: Devil. Gender: Male. Title: The Fiend. Chaos Points: 165950. Domain: The Void. Powers/Abilities 1.Devil Physical Strengths. 2.Hellfire Command. 3.Umbrakinesis. 4.Domain Authority: Void. 5.Black Fogmaster. 6.Horror From the Screens. 7.Telepath-Mid Rank. 8.Nightmare Mind Palace. Skills 1.Expert Level: Martial Art Fighter. Higher Tier Units Brides-1.Cyn the Absolute Solver. 2.Lilithmon the Demon Lord of Lust. Infernal Lords-1.Nomu King the Prime Nomu. 2.Sabrewulf the Eternal Wolf. 3.Blackmore the Malefactor of Evil.
Even with his psychic power, being akin to a mid-leveled one, his mind palace, more than made-up for that weakness.
With everything ready it was time to have some fun in Bludhaven, commanding the Black Fog to amass and surge fort, forming a ginormous rift of dark fog, with a mental command all the zergs, minions, and drones surged fort, with him, Cyn, and Lilithmon calmly walking behind their legions...
Location the New Earth: Bludhaven
A young man with black short hair, and a tone, slightly bulked body, in a black and blue suit, that has a wide winged, tribal bird as the emblem on his chest, also wearing a blue colored domino mask was standing with some other individual on at the edge of a roof, from a tall skyscraper.
He is Dick Greyson, was the first Robin, now he is Nightwing the Defender of Bludhaven, and leader of the Titans, when Mao last broadcast, stated that on that night, Bludhaven will bleed, scream, and suffer, Nightwing he immediately rushed over to Bludhaven's aid with his some of team by his side, as they couldn't leave Jump City undefended.
As he looked through a special advance goggles, he felt the hand of his brother, Tim Drake, the third Robin, a black haired older teen, in a black and red armored suit with a black cape, golden accessories and a harness holding his logo on his chest.
Tim, he was comforting Dick, as a orange skinned alien woman, with long straight blood-orange hair, bright green eyes, wearing short-top, skirt, and thigh-high purple-indigo colored clothing, with silver armor around her neck, braces, and waist-belt.
This is Starfire, a funding member of the Teen Titans, and later the Titan, in a romantic relationship with Nightwing, along with a partner in fighting crime.
In a lovely voice, she said to Dick, "Worry not Dick. With us, and the League we'll protect this city." Nightwing, smiled appreciating Tim and Starfire's comfort.
But Mao and the Forsaken are like nothing that they've faced before, as he started looking through his goggles again, and notice a massive flying ship, recognizing it from Batman's reports, as the SHIELD Helicarrier, seems that SHIELD came to assist.
As African-American, buff young man with some blue and white themed robotic, and cybernetic implants, and a red eye on his right side of his head, also roboticized, this is Victor Stone, Cyborg, whose father used a Mother Box to save his life, after a terrible accident.
Turning him half-machine, he is also a funding member of the Teen Titans and later Titans, he picked up radio chatter from the SHIELD network, telling Dick that SHIELD was starting mass evacuation of Bludhaven, as he took a pause and said, "...not wanting another Chicago, to happen here." this was a fear shared by all the Titan gathered there.
They have to either force the Forsaken to retreat or manage to defeat Mao, which should distable the Forsaken completely.
Batman in formed them, that he along with Superman, Green Lantern, Flash, Wonder Woman, and Shazam were coming to provide aid, also bringing the Phantom Zone Projector, a last attempt to stop Mao and his monsters, before Bludhaven suffers greatly.
Then those Titans on the rooftop, notice a orange lighting streak, racing across traffic of fleeing, evacuating people, and towards their location.
Just a few seconds Wally West aka Kid Flash, along with Artemis Crook aka Artemis, and Xiomara Rojas aka Crush, Wally is a young red spiky haired man, in a yellow suit with red goggles, lightning bolt on his head, and lower suit, Artemis, Wally girlfriend is a archer, with a two toned green suit, mask, and styling a blonde ponytail, daughter of the infamous Sportmaster, that didn't want to follow her parents footsteps, and became a hero.
Lastly there's Crush, the daughter of the Main Man himself Lobo, having a punk biker style like her oldman, pale white skin, black marks around her red eyes, black almost Mohawk style hair, and all the badassery of a Czarnian.
The reason Wally returned so quickly with Artemis and Crush, Black Fog has been spotted at the evacuation route, this shocked the Titans, as Nightwing was the first to react.
Pulling out his grapple gun, and saying, "Titans Go!!" Red Robin, joining Nightwing in grappling along the city, Starfire carrying Cyborg as they flew after them, Artemis got princess carried by Kid Flash, while Crush hang on to Wally from his neck with a pumped expression on her pale face, as the flashed away!!
As they headed to the black fog site, Nightwing informed the League and SHIELD where the Forsaken are going attack the city, as a new battleground was about to start...
