Issue 5: Marvelous Devastation

Maverick Hunter HQ

BGM-Megaman X8 OST-Deepening Mystery

"Hold on. You're telling me "Ultron's" working with Sigma?" Spider-Man asked after Team Axl came back with news of Ultron's possible involvement in the recent Maverick attacks.

"That's what Dr. Pym said before he conked out." Axl remarked.

"If you think about it, it makes a lot of sense." Blake said. "Ultron hates humanity as much as Sigma does, they have so much in common. Who else would kidnap the Avengers and turn them into their own robot slaves?"

"Ultron and Sigma. Two Mavericks who are hellbent on destroying all life on the planet. Seems that both our worlds are in trouble now, Spider-Man." X said to the webhead.

"Yeah, you're right." Spidey replied.

"Guess it was a good thing you missed that mission with them." Sonic smiled that Spidey was lucky enough he was busy with the Daily Bugle that he wasn't a victim in Ultron and Sigma's capture of the Avengers.

"How fortunate. But that doesn't change the fact we have two homicidal robots out there using the Avengers to wipe out all of mankind." Spider-Man replied.

"That's seriously messed up. Turning heroes into killer machines because of a stupid virus. We can't let them get away with this." Knuckles remarked.

"Alia, have you learned anything new?" X asked the genius navigator, who has just finished analyzing the new data obtained from Wasp and Yellowjacket when they were Mavericks.

"I've figured out the source of their supply of ionic energy. Let me put it up on screen." Alia presses a key to show the heroes what appears to be a pink stone with a swirling cosmos on the screen.

"What's that? Some sort of stone?" Zero asked.

"No. That's an Exo Stone." Spidey said as he and the D-Avengers recognize that familiar cosmic stone.

"What's that?" Zero asked.

"A cosmic stone that holds unlimited power, eight in total with their own unique abilities and energies. Seems that this is the Exo Stone that controls ionic energy." Spidey gave a brief description of what the Exo Stones are.

"We've already collected a few of these. You have no idea how dangerous just one of them could be." Blake added.

"I believe you." X replied to the faunus.

"So that's what they're using to evolve the Sigma Virus. We can't let them get away with this." Zero said.

"What's our next mission, Alia?" Sonic asked.

"The readings I'm getting from this next Maverick are HUGE. This might require two teams if we want to stand a chance. I recommend Teams X and Zero for this one." Alia told the heroes.

"Sounds good to me. Try not to slow us down, Knucklehead." Sonic joked.

"As long as you don't annoy me, blue boy." Knuckles said, visibly annoyed by Sonic's taunt.

"You up for this, partner?" Spider-Man asked Blake.

She nods and smiles, "I'm ready. C'mon. We got work to do." She said before both teams are teleported to their next mission together.

BGM End


An Old Repliforce Air Force Base

BGM-Mega Man ZX Advent OST-Through the Lightning (Tunes Ver.)

Hundreds of feet above the vast sea, Teams X and Zero have been teleported to the top of a massive airship filled with docked fighter jets and the letter "R" plastered on everything.

"Whoa! We're flying way high!" Sonic exclaimed, shocked just like his friends, except for Zero, to be riding on a gigantic airship the size of the Helicarrier.

"This is one massive airship!" Blake commented.

"This used to be a Repliforce air base. Be careful not to fall everybody!" X advised as they begin moving through the rear of the airship. Two Big Ray cannons take notice of the heroes and begins to fire their lasers. Spidey's trusty spider-sense kicks him to warn him of the incoming danger, "Step out of the way!" He instructed. They all do just that and leap before the lasers fired on them.

"Nice try!" Sonic lunges through the air, destroying the cannons with his homing attack.

"I'm sensing some Mavericks who wants some fun." Spidey said as blue and yellow Shitapper robots join the fun. The blue mechaniloids shoot at the heroes while the yellow ones throw bombs at them.

"Leave them to us!" X said, working with Knuckles to destroy them. The hunter hero side-steps from the firing range of the blue robots while shooting them. Knuckles smashes through the yellow bots, punching one of them to fall on top of a small handful before finishing them off with a stomping spin attack. They continue fighting as they make their way inside the flying air base.

"This place is as big as the Helicarrier." Spidey commented while swinging in the air, web-striking a few white-armored flying Reploids called Flyers.

"You said this base was used by the Repliforce. Were they a military group that also fights Mavericks?" Blake asked X while slicing up an Aperoid while Sonic spin dashes through the small and cute Metall S mechaniloids.

"They were, until Sigma tricked us into fighting each other that erupted into a war that almost got the planet destroyed." X replied, releasing a charged shot at a Giga Death B while it was shooting missiles.

"I'll never forgive that Maverick for what he did." Zero growled, still angry, and a bit sadden of that tragic event since he was forced to kill two good friends during the Repliforce War, Colonel and her little sister, Iris, who Zero did have an attraction towards. He releases his anger by unleashing a giant energy slash that devastates a majority of the Mavericks in the hallway.

"The more I hear about Sigma, the faster I want to turn him into scrap." Sonic said, starting to really hate Sigma for all the disasters he caused on this futuristic world. "You guys beaten him before. How does he keep coming back?" He asked the Maverick Hunters.

"Sigma's immortal. His true form is a virus. No matter how many times we destroy him, he'll just return in a stronger body." Zero answered while slashing down a Pastegunner.

"Ultron does the same thing too. Those guys are really meant for each other." Spider-Man quipped as he webs up an Aperoid to be kicked in the chest and explode.

"Even immortality has its weaknesses. Can't you whip up an anti-virus program and delete him?" Sonic asked.

"We tried that the SECOND time he came back to life and it still didn't stop him." Zero replied.

"Then what should we do? If Ultron and Sigma can't TRULY be destroyed, then what's the point?" Blake asked.

"We keep fighting. Fighting until we destroy them permantely. Never lose hope!" X answered wholeheartedly. The united heroes break in the command deck of the airship where dozens of Mavericks are shooting at them. X and Blake immediately blast a good chunk into pieces while Sonic homing attacks above their heads. Knuckles uppercuts a big Aperoid for Spidey to swing by and kick towards Zero's saber slash to be cut into two before it exploded.

"I'm sensing something powerful out in the bridge. It must be another Maverick Avenger." Spider-Man said with his spider-sense.

"Then let's head out." X commanded.

BGM End

BGM-Megaman: Maverick Hunter X OST-Boss Appearance

The team walks out to the bridge where suddenly a big yellow beam from the air hits down on the airship, knocking the heroes off their feet. "What was that?!" Knuckles asked. As they stand up, they are greeted by a long, beautiful, blond-haired mechanical woman in metallic red, gold, and blue suit based on a Kree uniform. She wears a red sash on her waist and a metallic red mask that doesn't cover the eyes, mouth and hair.

"Captain Marvel!" Spider-Man recognized another member of the Avengers roboticized. "I understand why your readings are off the charts." He said, knowing full well the full power of this half-human/half-Kree superheroine.

"I don't want to fight you guys. Actually, scratch that. I'm REALLY in the mood to punch something. Ready to get your butt-whooped extra hard?" The corrupted Captain Marvel asked.

"Nice to see her personality hasn't changed a bit." Sonic said sarcastically with a deadpan face.

"Captain Marvel! Is it true Sigma is working with Ultron?" X asked her.

"So you've finally figured that out, huh? But they're more than just "working together", if you catch my drift." Carol said.

"No. Not exactly." Blake replied, confused.

"Carol. We're giving you this one chance. You either fight us and we'll give you an embarrassing beatdown, or you can surrender. Take your pick." Spider-Man said to the roboticized Carol Danvers.

"I choose: You die and we live happily ever after!" She answered, firing a photon energy blast from her hands that forces the heroes to jump back.

"That wasn't one of the choices!" Spider-Man quipped.

BGM-Megaman X8 OST-VS 8Boss

Captain Marvel fly at the heroes, bursting through the barrage of energy shots from X and Zero with no trouble whatsoever and punches X in the face, grabbing his leg to swing around and hit the heroes with before tossing him aside.

"You'll regret that." Zero growled as he heads in to fight the corrupted captain.

"Be careful! She's dangerous!" Spidey advised the skilled Maverick Hunter.

"Does it matter? It's six-against-one. How bad can she be-?" Zero was immediately cut off when he received a photon punch to the face that blown him through many sectors of the ship.

"I tried to warn you, pretty boy." Spidey quipped as he hears Zero growls through the rubble before he burst out from it. Sonic goes for a spin attack but was blasted away by Carol's energy blast. She immediately comboed Blake before elbowing Knuckles, knocking him to eat the metal floor.

"Never knew she was so strong." Knuckles commented, surprised by her strength.

"She's as tough as Thor and almost as strong as the Hulk! This shouldn't be surprising!" Spidey quipped, blocking a punch with his arm before punching her. She quickly recovers and blitz Spidey into a wall where he grunts in pain. X goes for a charged shot but was surprised when she absorbed it through the palm of her hand.

"She can absorb energy?" X remarked, shocked.

"Yes I can." Carol said and blasts a stronger blast at X after absorbing his charged shot to increase her own strength.

"She's Yang with alien DNA. We'll have to settle with physical attacks." Blake advised while helping X to his feet.

"Alright. I got just the thing." X decides to equip himself with the Special Weapon he copied from Hawkeye. He quickly gains a purple color scheme, in addition to a purple bow attached on his X-Buster and a mask similar to Hawkeye's. "Hawk Arrow!" He fires a singular, but a very fast purple arrow at Captain Marvel while she was distracted fighting Knuckles, Sonic and Zero, hitting her and caused enough damage to temporarily stun her to the ground.

"That had an effect on her." Blake noticed.

"That must have been her weakness." X said.

"Weakness?" Blake asked.

"Yeah. All the Mavericks I've fought tend to have one. Don't know why but it has helped save my skin plenty of times." X smiles.

With Captain Marvel weakened, Knuckles roars while delivering a flaming uppercut that blows Captain Marvel straight into the air. "Awesome, Knux!" Sonic smiled.

"My turn!" Spidey leaps above Captain Marvel, shrouding his right fist with the face of a blue man-spider using his aura. "Arachnid Fist!" He shouted, punching Carol so hard in the chest he slams her back to the airship, creating a crater in the process. "Give it up, Carol." Spidey told her.

"How 'bout 'no'?" She quipped. She begins to get serious, activating her powerful Binary form while simultaneously unleashing her Ion Mode, giving her an intense double aura mixed of yellow and purple. "How do you like me now?!" She asked, unleashing a gigantic burst of energy that blows all her former allies off the ship.

"Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa!" Sonic exclaimed as they fall hundreds of feet above the ocean.

"Gotcha!" Knuckles said as he grabs Sonic. Spidey was able to quickly shot a webline on the ship and grab Zero. Blake does the same thing with her ribbon and was able to catch X just in time.

"Thanks." He said as everyone launches themselves back on top of the ship where the evolved Captain Marvel waits for them.

"Ion Mode plus Binary? Totally not fair." Spidey said.

"Her energy readings are off the scale." X commented. They watch Captain Marvel charges up her energy and then fires multiple large purplish-yellow flaming beams at them, destroying parts of the ship while trying to hit them.

"Never thought a human possessed this much power." Zero commented while dashing under one of her killer beams.

X fires a charged shot of his Hawk Arrow, unleashing multiple homing arrows that, while it connected, barely scratched her. "She's not weak to Hawk Arrow anymore." He said before jumping over a beam.

"Her Ion Mode must've changed her weakness! Try something else!" Sonic suggested while repeatedly homing attacking Carol's energy barrier.

"On it!" X equips himself with Yellowjacket's Special Weapon, Sizing Insect, granting him a yellow-and-black color scheme and mask similar to Yellowjacket's. He uses his new power to shrink to the size of an ant, running pass the carnage between his big friends and the corrupted, powered-up Captain Marvel. "Eat this!" He quickly equips himself with his Second Armor and makes a mighty jump underneath Carol's chin. "Shoryuken!" He delivers a small, but painful flaming uppercut at the unsuspecting captain, knocking her off the air while sustaining impressive damage and X turns back to normal size. "Good. That was her weakness." He said.

"I ain't done yet, kid!" Carol proclaimed before getting tied up by Spider-Man's webbing.

"X, finish her off!" He urged him to hurry up while he struggles to keep her steady. X teams up with Zero and fires a double Spider Shot at Carol, packing enough force to put her down exhausted and unconscious, transformed back to normal with her Special Weapon absorbed by X.

BGM End

"Phew! That was rough." Blake panted, exhausted just like the others.

"Ugh. I feel so stiff. We haven't even fought Thor and Hulk yet." Sonic said, rotating his left arm to get some feeling back to it.

"That's gonna be a nightmare." Blake sighed.

"Hey, look at the bright side. We saved half of the Avengers." Spidey said to his cat friend to cheer her up.

"Yeah. That is nice." She smiled.

"Then let's not waste any more time and save more, huh?" Zero said to his teammates.

"Right. Once we're done saving the Avengers, we're ALL going to go kick Ultron and Sigma's butts!" Knuckles grinned.

"You bet. We'll stop whatever evil scheme they have planned. Let's return home, team." X smiles as they are teleported back to HQ for some rest and then begin their next mission.


Abel City, Sigma's Lab

BGM-Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite OST-Theme of Ultron

Unknown to the heroes, they still have no idea that Ultron and Sigma are more than just working together, they have fused into an unstoppable machine of destruction powered by an Exo Stone. Ultron Sigma is seen walking pass their growing army of Mechaniloids and Ultron drones, and a certain project that involves the Sigma Virus. They seem quite please that despite losing half of his top commanders, the Maverick Avengers, they don't seem too upset, almost perhaps they're just the beginning of his grand plan.

Suddenly, the Exo Stone on their chest starts to glow, almost as if it's telling them something, something very pleasant that will further enhance his plans for world domination. "Yes, we hear you." They talk to their precious Exo Stone. "Two of the Stones have appeared in this dimension. Lucky us. Go. Let us collect those Stones from them." They mentally instruct their robot army to start flying out of the lab for an important mission that seemingly involves two Exo Stones that have mysteriously appeared in X's world. "Soon the Exo Eight will be ours…"

Spider-Man: It's Spider-Man, reporting for duty! Have you learned anything new, Alia?

Alia: I have, and it's not good. Apparently, Ultron and Sigma fused into something called "Ultron Sigma"!

X: Ultron Sigma? That can't be good.

Alia: Speak of the devil. I'm getting reports they're attacking. These energy readings are nothing I've ever seen.

Spider-Man: We'll go check it out and hopefully we can put down Ultron Sigma.
