If you get trapped in the idea that what is most important is what image of yourself you're giving to the world, you're on a dangerous path. - Jeanne Moreau
Underground Resistance Base/URB - Time: 8:37 PM
The heroes inside the base were taking a rest after the events with the registered heroes as they were talking to their comrades, until Cable walked toward Captain America to give him information of some sort, with him nodding.
"Ok people, listen up!" Cable said as all of the heroes looked. "We just received word of a major disaster at a chemical plant near New Jersey. Details are sketchy, but hundreds of workers might be trapped."
"That means we need to get those innocents out of danger." Captain America said as Cable nodded.
"Of course, this might be a trap created by our 'friends'." Cable said. "That's why we'll be having Cloak to teleport us in, and can get us out if there's any trouble.
"Ok, let's rescue those workers. Besides it being the right thing to do, it shows to be even more obvious that why being a hero shouldn't be against the law. Form a team of four as of now and move out!" Captain America said as the heroes began to find people to work with, one main one being Spider-Man, Black Cat, Wolverine, and Moon Knight.
"Never thought I'd work with you big boy." Black Cat said to Wolverine, making him growl.
"I'm not your boy girly." He said while Black Cat smiled a bit, while Spider-Man looked at Moon Knight.
"So, you ready for this? This might get a little crazy." He asked as Moon Knight nodded.
"As long as the power of Konshu is by our side, I'm always ready." He said while they stared at him for a bit.
"...Alrighty then. Just... er say hello to Konshu for me while you're at it!" Spider-Man said as the group of heroes walked to the elevator, along with the others, and went up.
New Jersey - Chemical Plant - Time: 10:21 PM
Inside the area, had nothing but flames until Cloak; a African American man wearing a black cloak lifted up his invisible cloak, revealing the unregistered heroes.
"How many trapped workers did the radio say?" Captain America asked Cable.
"Over three hundred... but somethings.. off. I'm not getting any signals, nothing at all." Cable said while the heroes looked around as they prepared themselves for anything while Cable himself looked down on the ground and saw a plate, saying it was made by 'Stark Industries', making his eyes widen. "Cloak! Get us out of here!" Cloak nodded until he was suddenly shot, falling to the ground as they looked around, seeing Iron Man, leading the registered heroes, S.H.I.E.L.D soldiers, and controlled villains.
"Of course it's a trap. How else could we get you all in one place?" Iron Man asked as the army began to surround them. "Skybird one, is the area fully coordinated?" He looked up to see the S.H.I.E.L.D helicarrier, deactivating it's cloaking device.
"Roger. Nobody is getting in or out." Maria Hill said as Iron Man nodded.
"Copy that, stand by." He said while Captain America stared at him.
"'Stand by'? You and S.H.I.E.L.D getting soft Tony?" He asked as Iron Man shook his head.
"We didn't come here to arrest you Cap. I talked S.H.I.E.L.D into giving you a chance." He said as Captain shook his head as well.
"You mean surrender? Sorry, but I'd rather take my chances. I'm not about to give of Tony, not in a million years." He said as Iron Man sighed and lifted a part of his mask, revealing Tony's face.
"Steve please... you know how hard I tried to fight this, but that was before Stamford." Tony said as he stared at Captain America. "The public doesn't want secret identities. Registration is the only way to make people feel safe when we're around." He then offered his hand to him. "At least give me a chance to show you our plans with my Twenty-first century protocol." Captain America looked around, seeing the controlled villains, soldiers, and helicarrier, then back at Tony as he accepted the hand offered to him.
"...You got five minutes." Captain America said as Tony smiled.
"That's all I'll need." He said until he noticed something on his hand, shooting sparks of electricity. "What the hell?" Once he asked this, his entire suit was then covered in electricity, shocking him until Captain America hit him with his shield, in which caused all of the other heroes, soldiers, and villains to fight against each other. In the distance, both Colossus and Multiple Man fought against Wonder Man; a man wearing black pants and a muscle shirt with a large 'W' on it, along with one of the controlled villains Bullseye; a man wearing black spandex suit with white gloves, boots, shoulder pads, and a black mask as it has a Bullseye symbol on it.
"There is no way I'm losing to such puppets!" Colossus yelled as he charged at them, with Wonder Man fighting back, along with Multiple Man fighting Bullseye, while Luke and Iron Fist fought both War Machine and Mr Fantastic. But at the same time, Iron Man was fighting against Captain America as he was being held and thrown against the wall, to which Captain got up from the attack until Iron Man started shooting at him by energy bullets, to which were reflected by his shield as he charged at Iron Man, hitting him through the poles of steel, making them both fall down onto a large area.
"Just give up already Cap. With the army I have, you can't win." Iron Man said as Captain got up.
"No way Tony, not for my country." He said as he was being blasted with more energy bullets, to which were being deflected by his shield again, until he formed a heated beam from his hand, making Captain hold his shield to stop it from coming through. Iron Man began to fly toward and was about to grab him, until Captain threw his shield into Iron Man's face, sending him back as he fell to the ground, with Cap falling down as his shield hit him in the chest, making Iron Man get the air hit out of him as Captain lifted him and began to hit him in the face, to which Iron Man countered by grabbing his shield and headbutting him, making him fall down until he stabbed his shield into the wall, stopping him as he jumped right back up, to where Iron Man was and hit Iron Man in the face with his shield, to which he countered by hitting Captain in the face as well, destroying a part of his mask.
"Had enough Rogers?" Iron Man asked as he punched Captain harder, until his neck was hit by the shield, stunning him as he was thrown at the wall, being knocked down as he wasn't moving.
"Amnesty, huh Tony?" Captain America asked as he breathed heavily. "Well... look who needs amnesty now?"
"You... still don't... get it... do you?" Iron Man asked as he tried to get up, with his suit shooting out small sparks. "You don't know... when you're... pushing things!"
"Reed can crunch the numbers... till the cows come home, but that won't change from right or wrong!" Captain America said as Iron Man finally got up and growled, revealing his face as a part of his mask was destroyed.
"Sometimes, you have to do the 'wrong thing' at the right time, to save what matters!" Iron Man yelled as he charged at Captain America, pinning him against the wall as he charged up a beam in his chest and fired it at him constantly, making it begin to destroy more of his suit and bruising him, until he threw him away onto the ground and aimed his hand at him. "Just stay where you are... come with me, and I'll give you medical treatment." Captain began to get up while lifting his shield.
"Aw, how very generous of you... even after nearly beating me to a pulp. You'll make a just and fine... what? S.H.I.E.L.D commander? President?" Captain asked in anger until he smiled a bit. "Oh yeah... they don't elect drunkards into the white house."
"...Don't go there Steve." Iron Man said as Captain America just kept smiling.
"Or be settled with drunk with power, am I right?" He asked as Iron Man growled in anger and shot a beam from his chest, to which Captain used his shield to repel it, as it shot the wall, creating a large cloud of dust.
"What?! Where are you Rogers?!" Iron Man yelled as he was suddenly attacked by Captain America and began to hit him harshly with his shield and fists, and was about to attack him again, he heard a buzzing noise.
"What's that noise?" He asked as he gets up and looks at Iron Man, until a large explosion came from the walls, creating a large hole and dust as Iron Man shot the wall, making him skid away from him as Captain looked around, seeing he was gone. "Damn it! Cable, I got Stark cornered but he got away! Anything on his location?"
"Negative, but Cloak is recovered enough to-" Cable tried to say.
"Fine, get everybody wounded evacuated. Everybody else stays, we're finishing this... And it starts by finding Stark." Captain America said as he walked through the hole.
"But Cap, we can't risk you getting captured!" Cable said as Captain America shook his head.
"I'm not discussing this Cable! You got your orders!" He said as he looked down and jumped off, hoping to find and finish it with Iron Man.
New Jersey - Chemical Plant - Time: 12:08 AM
August 23, 2018
The battle kept rampaging through the area, with most of the controlled villains still attacking, while Spider-Man, Black Cat, Wolverine, and Moon Knight fought some S.H.I.E.L.D agents, but stopped as they noticed something off about the villains, for they now had their eyes glowing blue and having small blue tendrils coming out of their back as they attacked the soldiers, regarding their side.
"Hey, what's up with them?" Spider-Man asked as they saw them picking up what appeared to be bombs and hooking them together, and ran off.
"They... don't seem like they're in control... I guess you were right about it Spidey." Black Cat said as one S.H.I.E.L.D got up and looked at them as he followed him.
"Whatever the hell they're up to, it ain't good." Wolverine said as the group followed him and saw the S.H.I.E.L.D agent looking over the corner taking pictures, revealing to be Colonel Nick Fury underneath it.
"Nick Fury?" Moon Knight asked as Fury looked at the group.
"You four, I need your help! Something BIG is going down! Those villains Stark's controlling are out of control. They've set up traps on the core traps to blow this place to kingdom come!" He said as Spider-Man crossed his arms.
"After what you put us through with that 'Secret War', you ask us for help?" He asked as he sighed and shook his head, then looked at his friends. "What do you say guys?" They nodded as Wolverine sighed a bit, but agreed. "Alright Fury, we'll see this for ourselves and then MAYBE we'll help you."
"I knew I could count on you." Fury said as he smiled. "Let's go. We need to head to the center facility of the plant!" He ran as the group followed him, seeing the bombs attached." I'll deactivate the bombs while you handle any villains that come our way!" He looked to see Venom landing next to them, along with the most infamous man known as Norman Osborn; The Green Goblin, for he was a green beast with large horns and devil ears while wearing only purple pants as he was on a metallic glider.
"Dang, he wasn't lying at all." Black Cat said as she took out her grapple hook, while the two villains began to charge at them, as they began to fight each other while Fury began to dispose of them one by one.
"We've been through a lot Nicky, but you're never one to be another guys puppet again!" Spider-Man said as he dodged Venom's tendrils as Wolverine lunged at him and began to claw him harshly while Moon Knight and Black Cat fought Green Goblin as he swung his large claws while he formed fire in his hands and made them turn into bombs, and threw them at the two heroes, while Black Cat and Spider-Man used their lines and threw it back at Goblin, stunning him a bit.
"Almost done!" Fury yelled as Green Goblin got on it's glider and flew off, while Venom shot a tendril onto Fury's hands, disabling him from stopping the bomb as it blew up, consuming him and the heroes and a large amount of the Chemical Plant.
