New York City July 18th 3:00AM
"How are you doing down there Elisa?" Goliath spoke through the small radio he was carrying, "Not so good, the police are holding back the zombies while the city is evacuated but the evacuation is going to slowly and the number of infected civilians is greatly increasing, how about you?"
Goliath left a woman he was carrying on the castle's main garden, "The Area covered by the zombies is too big, the ground team is focusing on finding un-infected humans while those of us who can reach the eerie tower take them up to safety"
"Are Brooklyn and the others back with Talon yet?"
Goliath jumped back out in to the sky, "They're not back yet, I hope they haven't run into trouble"
Subway tunnel
"Duck!" Nightstone shouted as a rocket shot out of a bazooka and flew past Brooklyn and Talon, who were busy fighting a couple of zombies, "Are you crazy! you almost killed us!" Brooklyn shouted back at Nightstone, "I had to close the tunnel, before the zombies used it to get behind the barrier the police have set up"
"Let's return to the Labyrinth, Broadway and the others will be waiting for us" Talon said as he started running back through the tunnel.
"So, Nightstone, how do you know Demona", and how did you get Gargoyle wings?"
Brooklyn had been meaning to investigate if this man could be trusted or if he was just another one of Demona's traps.
"She's my mother, well, sort of she made me by using Sevarius's cloning technology, I was made with a mixture of DNA belonging to her and Macbeth, I think that she originally intended me to be a weapon, but she became fond of me and preferred to just keep me as her son and as the vicepresident of the Nightstone corporation after Thailog betrayed her"
a beam of thunder flew past them as they were reaching the Labyrinth, "They must have found a way in!" Talon shouted as he ran to where the beams were coming from, Claw was shooting at Broadway who seemed to be enraged and out of his mind, "Broadway! What are you doing buddy" Brooklyn shouted as he dodged a sofa Broadway had thrown at him, "They got him!" Talon shouted as he started to shoot electric beams at broadway.
"Claw! Where is Maggie?" Claw pointed to a corner where Talon could see Maggie laying unconscious, "Wait don't hurt him!" Brooklyn stopped Nightstone as he was about to fire a laser gun at Broadway, "may be sun rise will bring him back!"
"Maggie, are you ok?" Talon tried to get Maggie to wake up, "It's me Talon, wake up"
Maggie started to wake up but Claw pulled Talon away just as Maggie suddenly sprung to life and jumped towards him but ended up crashing in to Broadway, "We have to get out of here!" Nightstone shouted as he grabbed Brooklyn by the arm and pulled him out of the way as an electric beam that Maggie had shot flew past him.
Eyrie tower
NightCrawler teleported a couple of people in to the castle next to a place were Fox was helping a few people get down in to the lower levels of the building were labs and offices had been turned in to a temporary refuge, "Daredevil told us what was happening, no time no explain, more people to bring" he said and then disappeared in a cloud of smoke before Fox could say anything.
"Goliath! Black cat found some survivors five streets down!" Spiderman said as he swung past him on his way back to the tower, "Lexington! Hudson! Come with me, Angela! you go with Spiderman"
-------------------------------------
Scott was busy shooting zombies in the street, "Jean, take those people to the roof, Nightcrawler will take them to the castle from there!"
--------------------------------------
"Bluestone watch out!" Elisa Shot one of the zombies who was trying to cross the barricade the police had set up.
"Is any body there!" Elisa quickly picked up the radio which communicated her to Goliath and the clan, "this is Elisa, who's this?" the radio was quiet for a few seconds then it picked up the transmission again, "This is Nightstone, we have trouble"
Goliath overheard the conversation on his radio, "Where are Brooklyn and Broadway?"
"Brooklyn's here with me, but we lost Broadway and Maggie, I repeat we lost Broadway and Maggie!"
Goliath felt his world come crashing down, it had been bad enough when his clan had been crushed by the Vikings; he had sworn himself that he wouldn't loose another clan member in battle.
"That's not the problem! The problem is they're airborne, we have to stop them before they leave the perimeter, Broadway is heading towards Brooklyn Bridge, Maggie is going for central park!"
"We'll take care of Maggie!" Dr. Richards said through his Radio, "and I'll take care of Broadway" Spiderman said through his, "you and your clan have to concentrate in taking people up to the tower"
Eyrie Tower
Fox walked up to Owen who was leading people in to the castle, "can't puck do anything?" she whispered to him, Owen straightened his glasses, "Unless master Alexander's life is in danger, there's nothing I can do, and if I can, I can only do it to save his life; it is Oberon's law that I don't interfere in human events"
Central Park
"She is here somewhere!" Mr. Fantastic stretched to look over the tree tops, Johnny and Susan walked past him and continued to look for Maggie, "What's that sound!" the Thing said, a buzzing sound was coming from a group of trees a few feet to their right, suddenly there was a flash, Susan was barely able to make a force field before a bolt of lightning flew at them.
"Flame on!" the Human Torch shouted as he charged against the cat like woman
Brooklyn Bridge
A deformed and decaying Broadway was flying over the bridge when Spiderman kicked him in the air and sent him straight on to the ground, "Sorry big guy, nothing personal, just saving the world"
Broadway crashed on to the bridge and Spiderman landed over him and kicked him before he could get airborne again, "Oh! No you don't" Spiderman leapt on to a truck and prepared to strike at Broadway again, but this time, Broadway grabbed him by the leg and threw him back on to the truck where he crashed.
"Scott! Over there! It's Logan! They got him!" Storm shouted, she quickly flew down to ground level and sent several lightning bolts flying at Wolverine, who was running with a rabid glare straight for them, he jumped up at Storm, but was hit by Cyclops beam before he reached her, "He's no longer one of us, he's no longer human!" Scott said as he shot Wolverine again and sent him flying t a gas station, "I'm sorry!" he said as he shot once again and the gas station blew up, the flames engulfing Logan in a burst of fury"
Mary Jane Watson was staring down on to the city from the highest tower in the castle, "It's Horrible isn't it?" Fox walked up behind her and placed a hand on her shoulder, Mary Jane looked at Fox then back out in to the city, "Yes it is"
"Do you have anyone who is still out there?" Fox said when she saw the Sadness in Mary Jane's eyes, "Yes, how about you?" Fox looked out on to the city, "me too"
Brooklyn Bridge
Spiderman had been smashed against a truck and was barely getting up when Broadway grabbed him and smashed him against the ground; he was trapped now, Broadway had him against the ground and was preparing to take his head off with one bite, but before Broadway's mouth reached him, something tackled Broadway and sent him flying against a car, "are you Ok? Looks like I arrived just in time" a red and silver version of Goliath was holding out a hand to help him up, "Actually a few minutes earlier would have been better"
Broadway got up and sent the car he had smashed into flying back at Xanatos, who was thrown back by the attack, Spiderman evaded the attack by jumping but Broadway smashed in to him in mid-air and threw him back next to Xanatos, he walked up to where Spiderman was having trouble getting up, he threw himself against Spiderman, but just as he was about to reach him, a Mechanic arm grabbed him and started to squeeze him, harder and harder, "Doc. What are you doing?" Spiderman shouted but before Doctor Octopus could answer, Broadway was Split in two and fell motionless to the ground, "Saving our lives!"
The Human torch was evading the electric bolts Maggie kept throwing at him, they were fighting in the air now, one of them finally hit him and sent him flying to the ground, Maggie dashed down towards him but was hit by a laser before she reached him, a tall gray haired and bearded man was standing next to him, the man ran next to where Maggie had fallen he placed a small dart with a blinking light on her shoulder and took out a remote control, he turned around and walked away but Maggie woke up and launched her self at him, biting him in the leg, he turned around and shot her with his laser gun, he walked away again and pressed a button on the control remote, Maggie was getting up again when the dart on her shoulder suddenly exploded.
The Man walked over to a hover bike that was hidden behind some bushes and grabbed a long black coat that covered the injury on his leg, "are you ok?" he walked over to the human torch who was still laying down and had not seen what had happened, "yeah! I think so! Who are you?" the Human torch said as he got up.
"The name is Macbeth" the man said as he got on the hover bike and left.
"Johnny! Are you Ok?" Susan came running to her brother's side, "What happened?" The Thing and Dr. Richards came walking after her, "There was a man, he got rid of her and then just left"
"A man?" said Dr. Richards as he inspected Johnny, he was afraid that the same thing that happened to Goliath's clan would happen to his team. "Yes, he said his name was Macbeth"
"Richards! We need help! The Hulk has been turned in to a zombie, he's heading towards the barricade but we're having trouble stopping him!" Daredevils voice started to call for them from the Radio.
Demona, Angela and Daredevil were all fighting against the Hulk while Storm fought a group of zombies around them, "Our weapons don't have any effect on him!" Angela said as she evaded the Hulks huge arms reaching out to grab her out of the air, "Let me try mine!" Storm said as she shot a lightning jolt at the green monster but it was useless, the hulk was to strong for any of them.
The Fantastic Four arrived soon after, the Thing smashed against the Hulk and smashed several zombies when the Hulk crashed over them, The Human Torch started Bombarding Hulk with Fireballs.
Suddenly a motorcycle roar became highly audible, "What the F…" The Human torch could see a straight line of fire forming on the road down below at an incredible speed and heading straight for them.
The Ghost Raider took out his chain and tossed it at The Hulk's leg where it wrapped it self around it and forced him to tumble to the ground, "I have an Idea" Dr. Richards Said as he wrapped his arm around the other leg, Daredevil tied one of the hulk's hands with his staff and Black Cat the other with her Whip, now the Hulk was laying face down unable to move, Hudson landed on top of him and drew out his sword, "This is for Broadway!" he shouted as his sword came down and stabbed The Hulk in the head, the green monster immediately fell limp.
"The sun is raising!" Demona pointed out at the horizon, "you better go back to the tower she said to Hudson who was resting from the current battle, "aye, you best come to lass, you'll have no defense here, as a human you'll only be gettin' in the way"
"We must all rest, we've seem to have saved all the civilians that remained inside the perimeter, we should rest before helping the police or else like Hudson said, we'll only be getting in the way" Spiderman said as he landed next to them.
Eyrie Tower
"They're coming back!" Mary Jane said to Rogue and Fox who were standing next to her on the highest tower, Goliath landed next to them and so did Spiderman, "I have a favor to ask of you Spiderman"
"Shoot"
"In case anything goes wrong down with the police, will you bring Elisa back here to the tower?"
"Sure, but Why? Where will you be?" Spiderman had barely finished the question when the sun came up and froze Goliath in solid stone, "What happened?" Spiderman asked Fox who was the only one calm about what had happened, "That happens every day, they sleep during the day and live during the night"
-----------------------------------------------
"Why was everyone so eager to get here before sunrise" Johnny Storm asked Nightstone who was eating a bagel, "you'll see" he said and then pointed to a place where Angela and Demona were talking, the sun came up and Angela turned to stone while Demona transformed in to her human form.
"Wow!" Nightston assumed Johnny had been impressed by the transformations he had just seen but actually Johnny had only been impressed by Demona's Human Beauty.
Macbeth's Mansion
"What… What is happening to me!" Macbeth was twisting in pain on the ground, "What is this!"
Suddenly the room started to swirl around him, everything went dark and three unmistakable shapes appeared before him.
Phoebe: "You have been cursed to live"
Selene: "You have been cursed to die"
Luna: "But you cannot be Both"
Phoebe: "You are no longer among the living"
Selene: "But you are not amongst the dead"
Luna: "Not Human and not Un-dead"
Phoebe: "You are Stronger!"
Selene: "Faster!"
Luna: "Wiser!"
All three Weird Sisters: "You are…"
"Perfect!"
