(General POV)
Location the New Earth: Bludhaven, Evacuation Point-Before the Attack
SHIELD and their field agents were trying to evacuate the people of Bludhaven, in orderly fashion, using the main road leaving the city, being backed up, with pill-up of cars.
As desperate families and people were trying to escape from the upcoming nightmare, afraid that what happened to Chicago would happened to them, some families not wanting to wait, they'd left their cars, and some of their belongings to walk out the limits of Bludhaven.
Only lightposts, stars, and the Moon as comforting light sources, as people were almost trampling over one another, Kid Flash, Artemis, and Crush, trying to keep the calm and order, with SHIELD agents in blue, grayish blue, and silver tone uniforms and helmets on.
Armed with advance guns, in case of any Forsaken sighting, while SHIELD was glad some metahumans, and skilled individual like the female archer was providing the help, they didn't like these heroes connected to the Justice League, interfere constantly in their battles with enemies.
One time HYDRA attacked a SHIELD site, near Ground Zero, and the Flash stopped every bullet that their agents, shot at the HYDRA followers, cause they were fatal shots...since then, any Justice League involved hero, has had a almost animosital reception...but now wasn't time for greavinces.
The threat of Mao and the Forsaken was to great, for these agents to not be professional, that when all agents reserved a warning alarm in their helm-visors, it was honed in at the strange energy that constantly emanated from Ground Zero, meaning that Forsaken were close to comings.
As they started to mobilize, and stop people from panicking, the roar started to be filled with unnerving, and eerie black fog, when the Bluehaven people, saw this...they screamed, panicked, and scrambled harder to escape before they arrive!!
Kid Flash, seeing the black fog forming, he took Crush and Artemis with him, flashing away, leaving a orange lighting streak behind him, as he'd run, to warn Nightwing, and the other Titans, that assumed the attack would happen directly in the city like the Chicago attack.
Instead somehow Mao knew of the evacuation route, and plan to make his attack from there...
Present Time...
After Nighwing and the Titans were warn, and were heading towards the exit highway of Bludhaven, Dick, he contacted Fury and Bruce aka Batman, reporting where the attack was actually happening, Batman immediately responded that Flash and Superman were going on ahead to help, while Fury sent down more agents, and SHIELD battle-mechs for some heavy support.
Cause it's going to a fight a war, Fury deeply regretted not being able to save his agents from the Chicago invasion, and more that he'd couldn't have save more people, this time he'll provide as much help that he'd could to avoid another Chicago.
That's when the black fog, began to amass making a giant maw between the city line of Bludhaven, and the rest of the highway, only a couple hundred cars managed to pass beyond the invasion point, and soon enough, a giant horde of beige brown skinned gremlins, exactly like those monster that attacked Chicago.
Smashing all cars, and killing any poor civilian, that was in their way, then fireballs were starting to fly, burning people and causing cars to blow-up, in huge inferno, as new creatures of the Forsaken, similar to the previous brownish gremlin, only in red coloring with some draconian traits.
All minions cheering, and wooing at the chaos, that their causing, these female drones with bladed wings, various silver hairstyle, and yellow energy coloring, showing across the bodies.
Soaring out the black fog, the disassembly drones, they started shooting at everything and everyone.
Killing dozen, some SHIELD agents as well, as Kid Flash, with Artemis and Crush have returned, after putting the girls down, Wally, ran picking up people that were at risk of being killed.
At first he'd tried to get the people out of Bludhaven, but the black fog suddenly burst and spread all around the city in a single moment, so he'd no other choice but to called SHIELD, have them house as many people in the Helicarrier, away from the city and fog.
Fury agreed and told the speedster, to head into the southern borders of Bludhaven, the furthest place, to the highway, so Kid Flash was basically indisposed for this fight, as Artemis help her boyfriend, providing him cover, as she'd shot sharpened, explosive, hardening foam, and freezing arrows, at the gremlins and drones, trying to stop Kid Flash from saving the trapt people.
Crush using her Obelus, a sentient chain, along with her super strength to crush all creatures with a big smile on her face, she'd loved mayhem, while being a badass superhero.
Soon enough the rest of the Titans, arrived just in time for the flying, insectoid drakes, the mutalisks were starting to pour out the black fog, as well.
The mutalisks attacking with sharp barbs and acidic blasts, down at the road over-piled with parked cars, and fleeing people, even Artemis had to move as the car, she was standing on was riddled in white razor sharp barbs.
Artemis, she was forced to switch targets, saying a quick sorry to her boyfriend, and started shooting arrows at the flying creatures instead, with Starfire having dropped off Cyborg on the ground, that kicked and pushed away some cars, to let the people run away unimpeded.
While Starfire firing green solar energy bolts, she calls [Starbolts], destroying the flying zerg, but unlike in the Chicago incident the mutalisks were organized, and more oriented like a well oil unit, avoiding as best they could, Starfire and Artemis' attack, and even using hit-and-run tactics...even Fury noticed this, and ordered some his agents to help Artemis and Starfire, and dealing with those fliers.
Then when another creature, similar to the fliers, started to emerge from the giant, black fog rift, these resembles massive insects with purple glowing coloring, spikes, and two large waved-spikes at the front, these are roaches.
The latest addition to the Forsaken's legion, immediately these almost car sized insects started crawling forwards, and attacking with acid spits, a couple of SHIELD agents engaged the new enemies.
Shooting energy pulses, not doing any sort of damage on their carapace, until the Corpser Roaches, revealed a twisted ability within their strain, a roach managed to hit a agent with its saliva, as he screamed and melted in pain, the parasitic bacteria in the roach's acidic saliva, spawned violently and gorefully a pair of smaller roaches, known as roachlings.
Who immediately attack alongside the other roaches, a agent shocked and a bit traumatized by what he'd witnessed, happening to his buddy and co-agent, yelled over the comms, reporting the greater danger these new monsters possessed.
The roaches, swarmed forward smashing through cars, and attacking people those unfortunate to be hit, died a gruesome painful death, whether it be the acid melting them alive, or the roachlings spawning, violently out their bodies, the combined attacks of the mutalisks, roaches, drones, brown and red minions was devastating, only the Titans could do any semblance of damage to the Forsaken's monsters.
Nightwing and Red Robin, not only prepared stronger armor, incase they have to face off with Nomu King, or Sabrewulf, or Mao himself, but other gadgets, stronger explosives and throwing rangs, in Dick being Wingdings, and Tim using birdrangs.
Cyborg blasting his sonic-cannon, hidden rocket, and other of his tech against the monster, double careful against the roaches and roachlings attacks, not wanting what flesh he has left to melt away, and host some creepy insects!!!
He threw cars, and blasted his sonic-cannon at the monsters, causing large amount of damage.
Helping pinned SHIELD agents, out of jam, when a Brown tried to smash a metal hammer on Cyborg, only the hammer broke, while Cyber Titan, looked at the little baffled gremlin, and said, "Seriously a hammer?" before he'd football kicked the brown minion into a car, yelling his catchphrase, "Booyah!!"
Starfire, was dividing her attention both in the air and ground, trying to stop the flier, while helping her teammates on the highway, same could be said for Artemis.
Kid Flash would occasionally ram, and speed punch a minion or low flying drone, to backup his team, as he continues to help civilians off the highway, as Crush helped out Nightwing and Red Robin, in taking out the Forsaken's forces, but more and more were pouring through the rift, large part of the mutalisks and disassembly drones, flew passed Starfire and the people below, and headed straight to the city.
The Titans were losing the line, that when heavy rock music, started playing from several still intact cars, with Bluetooth, playing Rock Of Ages, by Def Leppard, soon a masculine, snarky voice was heard through the comms of all the Titans, "Don't worry kiddos, the adults are here to help." flying through the night sky, was a hotrod red and gold suit, came Tony Stark, Iron Man.
Immediately blasting his repulsor blasts, at the drones, mutalisks, and couple of the roaches on the roar, Tony superhero landed beside Cyborg, that complimented the Iron Man suit design.
Tony laughed and said, "Thanks kid, now then. Avengers!! Assemble!!!" soon the repaired and upgraded Quinjet came into view, with several Avengers, jumping out of the advance red and silver aircraft.
Those that came was Hulk, Black Panther, Captain America, Ant-man, and Wasp, while the rest remain in the Avengers Tower in Manhattan, incase of another Forsaken attack or any other catastrophe that needed their attention.
All landing beside Iron Man, the Titans under Nightwing's command regroup next to the Avengers, as Flash and Superman were still a few seconds away.
Captain America, he rushed forward throwing his vibranium shield at a car, ricocheting off several cars, and smashing onto some minions and roaches.
Hulk, he grabbed a car tearing it in half, using the halves as gauntlets to smash the monsters, and protect himself from the Reds fireballs and roaches acidic, parasitic attacks.
Nightwing pulled out his stun-batons, with Red Robin his bō-staff, fighting against the minions, with Black Panther fighting alongside the two former Robins, Black Panther's fighting skills, mixed with his deadly, vibranium claws, were quite literally tearing apart the enemy.
And every blow he took, store kinetic energy for a pulse blast, in later use, Iron Man, Wasp, alongside Starfire took to the air, blasting the drones and mutalisks in their sights.
Ant-man, hitched a ride on Artemis arrow, before smashing onto a group of minions, using his pym-tech to swiftly fight through them, and even shrunk and enlarged some cars to smash and explode upon impact with the roaches.
The battle was finally reforming the line, with a couple hundred only breaking through the two groups, Nightwing, he updated the League of the change of the tide of battle, and Batman responded that he, along with Atom, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, and Shazam will handle the few that make into Bludhaven, Bruce then said to Dick, "Dick don't worry. We'll protect the city, you focus on what you can do...son." Nightwing, he stopped swinging his kali sticks, and smiled, saying in response, "Thanks Batman." and resumed fighting.
Then a yellow lightning streak, flashed through everyone taking out a lot the Forsaken's forces, and once that streak stopped it reveal the red suited, and yellow lightning accented, Flash.
Wally, he appeared right next to Barry aka Flash, soo glad he was there, later a red laser cut through several of drones and mutalisks in the sky, as the red caped, blue suited, Symbol of Hope, Superman.
Clark, arrived and decided to remain and fight with the Titans...and Avengers, he told Flash to join Kid Flash in getting people onto safety, both speedsters nodded and flashed away to keep rescuing innocent civilians, just as thing were about to proceed, the minions started to speak, "The Master" The Master here" and, "Darklord here, here!!" as the sound of clapping echoed through the area.
Appearing from the black fog was him, in his paled skin youth, having white spiky, short hair, dark eyes, and his sharp-teeth, exposed in a huge smile
Wearing his usual clothing, a maroon, violet, and black jacket as a cape, with the ends of the sleeves and jackets releasing whisp of shadowy smoke.
A black form fitting long-sleeved shirt, a pair of gray clawed-gauntlets, red long pant suit, held by a white colored belt with a chrome fanged skull shaped belt-buckle, and a pair of horned fanged-skull knee, heavy armor like of a dark knight, the skulls, and a pair of black, slightly heeled boots with white skull faces at the toe area, with a pair of chrome spikes acting as horns for these skull-faces, Mao has arrived.
Clapping and chuckling, as he walked over to the Bludhaven highway, his minions excited with the sight of Mao, their darklord, the roaches making way for him, and the flier mutalisks and drones, swarming around him.
Mao, was happy to see the Titans, Avengers, and the Man of Steel all before him, as he kept on clapping, saying it was good to see old face...and turning to Nightwing and the Titans, and new faces.
Waving at Nightwing, and said, "The first Robin, Richard Grayson. How's your parents, were close enough to hear their back snap?" with a wicked smile, as Nightwing growled and ignoring everyone's words to calm him down, the Defender of Bludhaven, rushed straight at Mao, pulling six wingdings and throw them all Mao.
Who stood there no moving, aside crossing his arms, as a an eldritch, hand-shaped monstrosity which annihilates the opponent, while a mature, sensual, feminine voice said, "Empress Emblaze." appeared in front of Mao, and blocked all wingdings, crushing them, as a small multiple explosions and smoke released from the gaps of the eldritch hand.
When Nightwing saw this, he'd stopped his charge, as Starfire went next to him with her eyes and hands, glowing with her green energy, ready to defend her love, as the eldritch claw disappeared, two females came out the rift as well.
One being the familiar, eldritch drone with a human girl's skin grafted onto her form, Cyn the Absolute Solver, and a new Forsaken revealed, another woman of black hair, horned, and devil winged, in a purple kimono and black, golden accent under suit, Mao, he laughed and said, "Sorry let me introduce another of my wives. Lilithmon. My wives and I felt a bit bored, back home. And decided a night on the city, painting it red, and watching burn would be fun...don't you think my darling?", as Cyn and Lilithmon agreed, things have gotten more complicated for the heroes.
