"Destroy those insolent fools," Mandarin commanded his super villains. It was a battle of good versus evil. The heroes and villains stood face to face. All five super villains charged at the Avengers. Iron man lifted his hand and exclaimed.

"Avengers Assemble!"

Hulk and Abomination matched each other's strength. Blizzard and Thor battled with their elements. Hawkeye made the first move on Grey Gargoyle. Captain America fought Whiplash. Spider-man fought Scorpion's new improved form.

Mandarin activated his left ring finger. He shot Psionic blasts at Chun Li. Chun Li and Iron man stood in the defense against the Mandarin's rings. Both knew Mandarin was dangerous foe, so they had to keep on their feet. Iron man blasted his Repulsor rays at Mandarin. Mandarin, however, had blocked the rays by projecting an electromagnetic field.

"You are no match for me!" Mandarin exclaimed.

Iron man countered, "I beat you before Mandarin, and I'll do it again."

Mandarin laughed as he launched a barrage of fire and ice balls projectile against Iron man and Chun Li.

"Does this guy have any weaknesses?" she inquired.

"His rings are his source of power." He replied.

"Kikoken!" Chun Li shouted launching her trademark projectile attack at Mandarin.

Due to the power of the Mandarin's rings, their attacks had no effect on him. He laughed sinisterly at their futile effort. He fired a disintegration beam. The blast shattered everything upon impact. It was close call, but Iron man and Chun Li manage to evade the blast. "This foolishness has gone on long enough."

Both heroes charged at Mandarin, but were immediately pinned to the ground. Mandarin used his gravity ring to immobilize Iron man and Chun Li. They were unable to get free.

Mandarin approached them closely, "You are finished."


Meanwhile, the Avengers fought the super villains employed by the Mandarin. Each member handled one at a time.

"I'll gonna FREEZE you solid, Goldilocks!" Blizzard exclaimed.

"Your mastery over the ice is impressive mortal, but nothing compares to the thunder of Thor." He launched a powerful thunderbolt putting Blizzard down.

"My real enemy is Iron man, but you'll do for practice." Whiplash said lashing his electric whips at Captain America.

Cap held his shield, defending Whiplash attacks, "I fought in more wars then you can count pal, I'll never back down, not even to the likes of you."

Captain America tossed his mighty shield, but Whiplash knocked it away. While he was distracted, Cap pulled out his energy core, depowering him.

Grey Gargoyle stood in place as Hawkeye shot arrows at him. The attacks didn't piece his hard stone body. He chuckled over Hawkeye's efforts.

"You fool, my body is pure stone! You cannot possibly hope to hurt me with your toys!"

"Yeah I figured that, that's why I have this." Hawkeye shot an arrow producing thick glue blinding Gargoyle.

While distracted, he then shot a couple arrows above Gargoyle. Before Gargoyle got free, he noticed the arrows circled around him. This left him completely dumbfounded. The arrows detonated leaving Gargoyle plundering in deep water.

Hawkeye waved his finger, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, you're all talk unless you can back it up."

Hulk and Abomination continued to match each other's strength. Both were massive giants and were incredibly built.

"You are weak!" he insulted.

"Yeah, well your breath stinks." Hulk shot back.

Hulk and Abomination launched powerful punches at each other, clashing with a massive impact. When the dust settled, Abomination was sent flying.

"Humph! Lightweight." Hulk scuffed.


While fighting Scorpion, Spider-man noticed Chun Li and Iron man in danger. He quickly trapped Scorpion in his web, and hurled him at Mandarin. Just like Mary Jane, he desired the will to protect Chun Li. His felt his feelings growing stronger each moment with her.

He shoved him out of the way, "Grr, get off of me you idiot!"

Chun Li suddenly grabbed Mandarin's arms trying to keep him from using his rings any further. Iron man charged his suit and fired the Multi-beam cannon. Chun Li quickly dodged the beam as it smashed into Mandarin. But he shrugged the blast off.

The three heroes glanced upon the damage, in their distraction; Mandarin blasted the three of them away. "You have meddled with the ancient forces… for that you must pay! Such a pity, we could have had a very good relationship. But there is still time to change your mind."

"Sorry, but my answer still stands, even if we are physically connected. I won't join you!" Chun Li exclaimed.

"Then you shall be destroyed!"

Mandarin shouted as all ten of his rings lit up. The power was so overwhelming that even he could barely contain their power. As he held his arms towards the heroes, Chun Li suddenly leaped in and focused her energy in her palms of her hands.

"Kikosho!"

Mandarin and Chun Li's massive Chi surges consumed the area. Dropping to one knee, Chun Li was reaching her limit, but she intended to push further. Mandarin grinned over Chun Li's weakening, believing he was about to win. Chun Li stepped forward to continue her assault, ignoring the burning of her hands due to the immense power she was sending forth. Mandarin's rings have also begun to take a toll on him. Chun Li shouted as she continued to push her power to the limit.

A second later, Mandarin was blown away by Chun Li's Chi energy, "No! My rings!" all ten of Mandarin's rings were burnt and powerless.

Enraged over the loss of his power, he charged at Chun Li. Before he could react, Chun Li launched her legs at Mandarin in a series of fast kicks. Her vision started to dim after releasing so much energy and she started to collapse. Spider-man caught her, before she hit the ground. "Mandarin you're under arrest."

"Are you alright?" Spider-man asked with concern.

Chun Li winked at him as she passed out, "Don't worry… I'm …just …fine."

"Great work team." Iron man had complimented with a thumbs up.

Thor replied smiling, "Aye, a glorious battle has been won."

The Avengers rounded up the remaining super villains. Before Iron Man could capture Mandarin he was shot from behind. Mandarin was picked up by a group of unknown men bearing a skull symbol. The Avengers hurried to stop the men, but they escaped.


The boss cracked his knuckles in disappointment, "You have failed me Mandarin. I have little patience for failure."

Mandarin begged on his knees, "Please my lord give me another chance. I will get them this time!"

The boss appeared wearing a red military uniform, large silver shoulder plates, wrist bands, shin guards, and cap with skull insignia. His right hand surrounded itself with a purple aura as he drew closer to Mandarin. He struck him with a powerful blow, therefore, killing him.

"What a weak pathetic fool?" He exclaimed.


Hours later Chun Li woke up in a soft bed. She was confused by her sudden surroundings. She remembered that she was fighting Mandarin. "Good Morning, how are you feeling?" Tony greeted her with some morning coffee.

"Just fine thank you, but where am I?" Chun Li asked.

"You're back in New York in the Avengers Mansion. You were asleep for two whole days. We sensed you and Spider-man were in trouble, so we decided to step in." He answered.

"Where are the others?"

"They are rounding up all the super villains and their stockpiled weapons. After Peter submitted his photos to the Daily Bugle, he never left your side."

She suddenly noticed Peter besides her grasping her bandaged hand, "Is that so?"

"Stay here as long as you need, I'm going to check in on the others." Tony said, leaving the two alone.

While asleep, Chun Li blew her soft breath into Peter's ear. He shirked, ready to fend off against an enemy attack. Chun Li giggled at his quick response.

Peter grabbed Chun Li's shoulders with worry, "Chun Li, how are you feeling, are you alright?"

"I'm just fine Peter, don't worry. Aside from my hands being like this, I'll be fine." She assured.

Peter hid his blushing face. Each time Peter was with Chun Li, he felt his feelings get stronger for her. He could not hold himself back anymore. He was nearly at a loss for words. He wanted to confess, but he wasn't sure what she would think of him. But whatever the case, he had to take the chance.

"I found out Mandarin stood for your name. It was quite a shock for me." Peter had said.

Chun Li held her head, down in shame, "I see, I guess that must mean…?"

Peter held both of her hands, "Chun Li, I also found out another thing. It is that fact that it also stands for… beautiful spring. And I see no evil inside of you." Peter rubbed the back of his head nervously, "By the way, I don't know how to fully say this, but I like you, and I want you to be with me."

Chun Li went red after his sudden confession. She too was at a loss for words. Her eyes stared at the floor feeling stunned. Chun Li held Peter's hands. "What a coincidence, Peter! I feel the exact same way about you!"

Peter raised his eyebrow, "Really?"

Chun Li nodded her head in reply. The two glanced at each other with affection. The atmosphere was peaceful for both of them. Peter felt much relived after his confession. It was a brief moment before then, they embraced each other, sharing a passionate kiss.


Meanwhile, a flamed headed mystical being watched the events of the battle with Doom, "Hmph! And here I thought Mandarin had them under his grasp."

"He was fool to act on his own accord. He should have been following my orders, but he betrayed me. No matter I still get his stock pile of weapons. I am indeed most fascinated with this organization called Shadaloo and S.I.N." Doom reminded.
