(General POV)
Location the New Earth: Manhattan; New York, the Avenger Tower
Tony along with Banner, and Dr. Stange whilst in the middle of their investigation on the Cores' message and activation, whilst using all the resources and knowledge over science, physics, chemistry, magic, enchantment, and cosmology not the study of stars, but cosmic forces.
All three men, were in their own corner in Tony's lab, Tony was working on main work table which has a white sleek design.
As Tony, he tapped and swiped data from the light blue holograms, that Friday, was helping to manifest, using his genius in robotic, physics, and tech, with Banner, he was adding his expertise nuclear physics, biochemistry, radiophysics, engineering.
Banner, he was sitting on his own workspace, a work bench filled with beacors, glasses, vials, and more, as he'd received Tony's data, he adjusted his glasses and read them.
After he read and analyze it, a blue holo-keyboard appeared in front of him, and he started adding his own data, before he'd swiped the file of data, over to their guest and aid for this research and investigation, Doctor Strange which is his actual name, and title, along with his superhero name as well.
While Stephen, he was once a man of medicine, his accident that left his hands practically disabled, and for a world famous and renowned, top class surgeon, it was basically a end of his carrier, he found enlightenment and became a sorcerer.
The Sorcerer Supreme, and superhero against mystical threats, he was surrounded by ancient tomes and books, some floating around his cross-legged, and floating form.
All to explain this weather, and environmental chaos, that's when Dr. Strange stopped reading when he'd twitched his head.
As he'd received a psychic contact from his team, the Midnight Suns, Banner, realized that Strange has become very, very quiet and still.
Looking over at a longtime companion, and college, removing his glasses and walking over to Strange, Banner asked him "what was the manner?" Doctor Strange, he turn towards Banner, and he called over Tony, as he'd told him what Caretaker has informed him.
And thank to Caretaker, and Nico they'd know now that Flash Thompson aka the Marker has resurfaced, after their failed court case against the Justice League, cause that same man has disappeared from their custody.
Now Flash Thompson, was in Central City, the Flash's terf, this shocked the two Avengers, and before either Banner or Tony could ask for any further explanation, Friday, she started to speak, telling them, "Boss. There's something you, and the other have got to see." as she'd turned on several devices, playing the news.
Showing Flash Thompson, covered in emerald green markings and light, the reporter and his crew were filming everything from a choper, circuling around the scene, after some words, the Flash arrived in the a yellow streak of electricity, onto the beach.
When he was about to do something, he was knocked away by some force, and then Flash Thompson started to speak or speak for a Core, as the message, "I AM NATURE'S HEART. FIRST OF THE CORES OF REALITY. I'VE BEEN AWAKEN BY THE PAIN OF THIS WORLD. POLLUTION. GLOBAL WARMING. DEFORESTATION. OTHER ATROCITIES DONE. THAT I CAN'T IGNORE. THE PAIN...PLEASE STOP. FIND ME. BECOME THE RULER, SOLE GUARDIAN AND MASTER OF NATURE. AIR. WATER. LIGHTNING. FLORA. FIRE. EARTH. ICE. LIFE. SHALL BE YOU'RE IF THE WORTHY FIND ME. I'VE ALREADY STARTED CORRECTING THIS WORLD'S DAMAGE. BUT I'M LOST. GUIDE ME. USE ME. I AM IN THE PATH OF GREATEST UNBOUND AND PUREST LIFE RESIDE... FOLLOW THE MARKERS THAT REPRESENT THIS WORLD'S NATURE..." this was a big surprise for everyone in the tower.
Especially for Ironman, Banner, and Doctor Strange, this means that the Cores are now starting to activate, and this explain why Mao stopped all the random and brutal attacks around the world.
Banner's eyes turned green for a minute, as his anger was shared with Hulk, Vista Verde barely survived Nomu King and those...gremlins, attack, and it was only cause at the moment that both the Big Guy, and Red were going to cross the line, and let their rage loose.
When Mao himself came, appearing beside Nomu King, who seemed eager to fight with them, and with a simple pat on the shoulder, the bird-headed, brain exposed hulk, stopped raging and with a final growl, left with all the gremlin through the black fog...it was because Mao, stopped it, not Hulk or Red, and since then they'd been eager to get another rematch with Nomu King, especially for what he's done to their home.
But with this latest information, that this, the first of the Cores of Reality, the Nature's Heart, the Avengers, the Midnight Suns, and all heroes and allies that they know, must move, Stephen agreed fully with Tony and Banner, using a quick spell to banish and store all his possessions.
As he'd thanked his old friends, and wished them luck on finding whatever this "marker" that the Core mentioned in it's message, spinning his sling ring to open a yellow-orange rift into the Midnight Suns' Abby, looking like a greatly accommodated living room, and stepping through rift, as it fizzled closed behind the Sorcerer Supreme.
Now the Avenger are in higher alert for any sign of these markers that most likely, have to do with a element involving nature.
Location Somewhere above the Pacific Ocean, Inside the Blackbird II
It's been a couple weeks, since the Marker, Flash Thompson made the announcement of the first Core of Reality's awakening, making many groups, organizations, and factions scramble to find well the start of this scavenger hunt, for the Nature's Heart.
That's what leads to now, the X-men being informed by Tony, about the Core, and the high possibility that Storm being soo deeply linked, both physical and spiritually with nature, she was affected by the Core, and now a volcano that should be long dormant, in the island of Hawaii, Mauna Loa, has become not only active, but has become more powerful than ever recorded.
Meaning that this must be the first marker on this hunt, obviously aligned with fire, the Avenger were sending Falcon and Hulk to back them up, as Wolverine in the pilot seat, Cyclops, and Nightcrawler were the x-men that personally inlisted to this mission, Cyclops optic blasts being a asset against volcanic debrie and rubble, while also taking down whatever the Forsaken might have in stored for them.
With Wolverine powers having a similar multifunction, his adamantium claws capable of handling almost anything, his super senses helping trapt civilians for Nightcrawler to rescue.
As for the mention of volcanic activity, Wolverine he and Scott were flying the new Blackbird...after the last one was stolen by Mao and his "groupies".
They were heading to Hawaii, as Mauna Loa, was about to erupt and become more unstable, and volatile than ever, plus the reason that the X-men and the Avengers are heading towards to the small, tropical island, was because their scanner picked up a familiar energy, that was amassing at the farthest end of the island.
This meant that the Forsaken were on the move, and with the new information delivered by the Avengers that they'd started detecting some of the same energy from Chicago, was starting to gather around the island.
Hence these X-men rushing in to fight, and get pay back for Bobby, as the massive customized, stealth ship blaster across the sky, over the vast waters of the Pacific Ocean.
As the heroes, including the League, are all rushing towards Hawaii, not only to save people from the upcoming massive, volcanic eruption, but fight against the upcoming Forsaken forces.
Falcon, Hulk, Cyclops, Wolverine, and Nightcrawler, along with Green Lantern, Green Arrow, and Flash were inbound to Mauna Loa.
Location the Island of Hawaii; Holualoa, Mauna Loa
Within the once tropical paradise, in the Pacific waters, peaceful, luscious, and warm, was now burning...
The largest volcano in the world Mauna Loa, which will active its eruption have been non-threatening, since the people have learned to live and evade that wrath of the volcano.
But now, Mauna Loa, wasn't only erupting, it was tearing the island apart!!
It happened out of nowhere, without any sign or warning, the volcano didn't shake or smoke or even gave any of the visual signs of a incoming eruption.
Instead, as the natives and tourists, were having another peaceful day, in literal paradise, when across the island literal veins of lava and magma burst from underground, breaking and melting through pavement, vehicles, and structures.
Fire spew from the earth, as geysers of sulphur and flames burn it all, the sandy white beaches, they'd started heating up soo much, that poor souls started to cook and melt their flesh away.
Waves of lava, surfaced from below and surged from the volcano, people screamed and ran for their lives, some falling through the ground, as the volcano was destroying the underground around the area, from the city, the forests, the jungles, and the beach, along with more were being burned away by the fury of Mauna Loa.
A eruption that succeeded all other eruptions of the past, hence the destruction and death that was happening everywhere, the only people "safe" were deep in the waters around the island.
As a tourist mother, ran through the chaos of a street being swallowed by flames and lava, holding her crying, and frightened daughter in her arms.
She watched as people were scrambling over one another, being caught on fire, crushed by weakening debrie of building, or even swallow by the ground beneath into a hellish inferno below, she was desperately trying to save herself and her child.
When a huge pillar of concrete, fell in front of her, crushing some people and splashing into some of the flowing lava, she'd barely managed to evade, being crushed or burned...but now she along with dozens of other were trapped in this part of the city.
She'd believed that this is the end, so she'd desperately tried to soothe her daughter, so she wouldn't suffer, but then a massive muscle bound monster, that everyone knew, especially from his green skin color.
The Hulk, he leaped over there and using his strength tore a path to safety, with Falcon flying above them, guiding the Big Green Monster, through the safest path out the inferno, the Avengers have arrived.
Another part of the island, a yellow streak of electricity, was dashing across the burning landscape, leaping from platform of every building and vehicle still standing, flashing to a person and taking them out of danger.
The Flash, the first Leaguer to arrive on the island, was using his super speed to save everyone he could, as Oliver and Hal told Barry through the comms, that they'll arrive in a couple of minutes.
Since they were picking up, special craft to take people off the island, and away from the upcoming fight, since the reading of that "unidentified" energy was still building up on the island, also telling the Scarlet Speedster, that two Avengers were in the island as well.
Barry, he already knew about that, since running around he saw Falcon and Hulk, rescuing people trapt in the cities, then Green Arrow, he told him that a big unknown aircraft has just made, a water landing in the west of the island, this could mean that backup must have arrived, they'll need it for whatever Mao has planned...
Location the Void of the Forsaken
In the realm of the Void, the red lightning tinted, empty sky under the forever moon, was lighting lightly on the dark landscape, with whisp of dark fog everywhere.
Jinx with Fishbone over her shoulder, grasping onto the trigger, and all her weapons ready, hanging from the shimmer demoness, beside her was her latest sister-wife, the pale greenish tinted skinned woman in a dark green, and green, skin tight uniform, Shego.
Shego, she was smirking as the two Infernal Lords, have arrived as well, the reptilian chimera, Kothoga, wheezing and snarling, as he and another monster made from candy, her red and black long mane, half skull exposed pony, Candymare, they stood behind of the two queens.
Later, as the massive amount and still growing amount of Vine Crawlers, spread across the landscape, moving away allowing legions of the Forsaken to answer the call of Jinx and Shego.
Starting with large amount of zerg, zergling skittering, shrieking, and roaring, with utralisks stomping their way into the area, and mutalisks flying above.
Not only zerg, but also skull headed mauler malefactors, and demodogs, as Shego wanted a fast striking, and overpowered aggressive force, while Jinx...she, just wants to cause utter chaos, and let Pow Pow loose on people.
Mao, he gave them free-reign to cause as much chaos, and destruction onto the island, as Mao already commanded the Core to empower and causing a massive eruption on Hawaii.
Even giving then a "go-ahead", to kill any of the heroes that will definitely be in the island, telling them to have a much fun as they want.
Jinx was pumped, as electricity was starting to surge through her arms, same could be said of Shego, as green flames were dancing around her gloved arms, as her smirk became a full-on smile, as she was eager to use her new powers to actually crush a do-gooder hero at last.
As the zerg, demodogs, and malefactors, soon at the midst of all the chaos wrought down by the volcano, the Forsaken will strike.
With the black fog, starting to gather and amass in one spot, right in front of the two brides, and two infernal lords, Jinx seeing that Mao was about to open a rift, she reached down her waist, grabbing onto her Zapper.
Pulling it free, and aiming it to the sky, channeling her electric powers through her arm, and onto her shock pistol.
Blasting a supercharged electric blast onto the air, laughing in joy and crazily, saying, "Alright guys!! Time to cause some mayhem, and anarchy!!!" this causing the zerg, demos, and maulers, roar into the air.
Shego, even let out a harty laugh, uncrossing her arms, now fully ablaze in her "green ego-flame", as she'd added her own two cents in, "You've heard her boys!!! Let's go crazy!!!" as the Forsaken started moving through the amassing rift...
