The doctor still felt the velvet monster's blood infecting deep inside of him. And while under the binds of the magic chains, he could not concentrate any energy to work up a counter spell. With each struggle attempt, it only rendered his body weaker along the way.

Dying for his revenge Mordo was all the more determined to rid himself of his worst enemy. About to make the final hit, his master had already stopped him. "No Mordo, he may be of use to us." Dormammu had told.

He reluctantly obeyed, "As you wish master."

With every crest by his side, Dormammu used his dark magic to absorb them into his entire being. With smiling grin, the purple monster had flew in took the crest for himself. Before he could aim at the dread lord, the servant had already stopped him.

With a scowl, Mordo exclaimed, "I should have known, we should not have trusted you. Your treachery is very well known, demon."

"Aren't you the cleaver one? Jedah said, wielding the crest in his possessions. "Years and years, you have craved to get out of your own dimension, yet you are weak here, even with the power of the crest. It only took a mortal to set you free."

"Fool! You think I do not know about the limitations of my own strength and power. Not only that I plan to conquer this earth dimension, but I also plan to fuse the Dark Dimension into one."

"We'll have to see about that now, won't we?" Jedah challenged. As the sorcerer went to make his move against the Makai, he was already fatally stabbed by him. He felt Jedah's blood burning through his body like fire. Even Strange was horrified by the outcome. Jedah had to either be brave or foolish to take on the Dark Lord by himself.

"You will regret this insolents!" Dormammu roared blasting out an incredible amount of dark magic at the demon.

With the crest at his control, he was able to deflect Dormammu's attack like a tennis ball. Each blast of magic energy was either absorbed or redirected at the demon. Even if the Dread Lord was not in his own dimension, he powers were still equal. And even the Sorcerer Supreme was impressed with the way he was handling Dormammu's assault.

Preparing for a final blow, Dormammu channeled his magic in a powerful concessive blast. It impacted the demon as he could not reflect the attack. Even with the Demon's Crest, he could not reflect the attack. Upon contact, it shattered the Makai, much to Dormammu pleasure, leaving nothing but his blood spread on the Dread Lord. And thus it begun it infestation on Dormammu.


Hours since the revival of the dark lord, more and more Soul Bees started swarmed their way like flies. And to make matters much worst, the Mindless Ones added to the mix of troubles they already faced. No matter how much they were cut down, more armies only rose along the way.

Suddenly, their attention had turn towards a surviving human being. A little girl nearly her preteens stood with her odd doll against the silent monsters. As the beast surrounded her, she remained as emotionless of the situation as it came. She neither showed signs of fear or even caution. With swing of the web, Spider-Man tried to rush to save her from the onslaught.

Before the beams could faze her, the Mindless Ones and Soul Bees were pushed back by an overwhelming force of Psychokinesis, yet she didn't even move a muscle to do it. Neither Spider-Man, nor the other heroes could believe what they have just saw.

"What manner of witchery is this?" Thor inquired.

With her magic, the red haired witch scanned the aura of the little girl. "This one is no ordinary human." Tessa kneed at her level. "You have a very troubled heart don't you? But I assure we mean you no harm."

Silent, she still held the same deadly look of no-return on her face. Just the look alone was enough for the heroes to keep their distance, considering her immeasurable powers. "Do not worry little one, we are not your enemy…" Tessa spoke softly, but paused sensing a sudden attack.

Out of the blue, a burst of magic extinguished the Mindless Ones and the Soul Bees in their path. Now the road was as clear as day. "There you are. You should not wonder off like that Anita." A monk of deeply rooted Buddhist and Hindu wielding a big sword, armed with large prayer beads approached the heroes.

Like the little girl, he also held a stoic look, displaying fear to his enemies. "It's been a while Donovan Baine." Jon had greeted.

"The stones tablets of Asgard tell many tales about the Dark Hunters, yet yours is much known among many." Thor added, knowing the monk.

Spider-Man grimaced at Thor, "You know this guy?"

"Aye, this honorable warrior once aided me in the battle against the demon Surtur. It was difficult battle indeed. We would have truly been engulfed if it hadn't been for him."

"Your gratitude is unnecessary Thor. I do everything I can to rid the world of the Dark Beings who seek to destroy it." Donovan replied. Anita went back to his side. "Anita and I make sure of that."

It all made sense to the witch now. "It seems like both of you had witness a great amount of grief, which is why she accompanist you on your quest."

Spider-Man nodded. "I guess with that face she doesn't exactly win brightest girl of the year."

Before the conversation could continue, a large exposition of energy appeared in a tornado form. It blazed with magic and fire mixed into a bender. As if it was not safe anymore, the repeats of Dormammu's laughs made them even more unconformable. Side by side as their backs touched on another, they stood their ground.

Blowing towards the city, the wind of Dark magic was aimed at the heroes. Luckily, they were saved by both Tessa's magic and the Eye of Agamotto. Exhausting as it was, it was still worth the save last minute save. However, they feared that they were not completely out of danger just yet.

"Odin's bread." Thor glanced at the attack.

Outside two beings of magic had clashed with each other. "So glad Godzilla isn't here to crash the party, then we would really be in deep trouble."

Dormammu had finally emerged, now spouting demonic wings, and held fangs and claws like a true demon. With his dark power, he was able to paint the sky blood red. Now longer was this the same Dormammu they have faced before, he was now darker and sinister. They were fused into one dark beast.

As he hovered in the air, he spread his terror among the city of New York. Alongside the Dark Lord appeared his servants, Satana Hellstorm, Anakaris, Q-Bee, and Dr. Strange, now possessed by Dormammu's bewitchments. Since Mordo had suffered a tragic fate, Strange served as his loyal servant.

"The earth is mine! And you will al parish with it!" Dormammu and Jedah exclaimed in unison.

With his concentrated abilities, the dark being summoned multiple red flamed tornados. Each of them were amplified with dark magic energy, enough render a person motionless. Sensing the power, Thor quickly swung his hammer. With the winds of his own, he canceled the tornado attacks of the dark lord with his own.

"Dormammu is more powerful than ever, if we are going stand a chance against this ultimate form of his, we're going to need the Doc back on our side again."

"I agree; but I don't think it will be made easy with his servants." Tessa added noticing the henchmen. "I sense the blood of that demon is still within Dr. Strange, but with my magic I think I can possibly purify it."

Q-Bee cling her fork and knife together. "It is feeding time."

"We will handle these beasts." Thor said, about to fight Dormammu with his full power. Within the skies he conjured a massive amount of thunder and lightning.

Formed into his wolf form, Jon Talbain went for the savage assault against the Succubus Satana Hellstorm. Fighting against Succubus creature was nothing new to the wolfman himself. And he was not at all charmed by her spell of beauty.

Using the powers of the psychokinetic abilities combined by Anita and him, they were able to blow away Anakaris attempts to bewitch them and any of Q-Bee's silent attempts.

In the meantime, Spider-Man and Tessa aimed directly at Dr. Strange. The witch sensed the dark magic corrupting not only his mind, but his soul. It gave a off an evil energy similar to the Dread Lord. Using the Eye of Agamotto and Tessa's magic they were able to bypass the army of Mindless One's and more of Q-Bee's Hive.

With Spider-Man's webbing, he pulled down the Doctor to ground level. Next, Tessa added her freezing ice powers to seal all four of his limbs shut. "Keep them preoccupied, while break the curse off of him." Tessa ordered.

"No problem."

The possessed Doctor struggled to break through his binds as Tessa started focusing her spells. In a sacred language and hand signs, she cast out multiple spells at a time, ridding her mind of all distractions that was going on. As she ventured into the mind of the good Doctor, she sensed the incredible amount of darkness in his being.

With her powers, she not only channeled her own magic, but the power of the Eye of Agamotto. But even so, Dormammu's immeasurable power created difficulty among the witch. It made her face sweat and her body strained with every attempt to break the curse. She almost felt herself being pulled in the darkness.

"No! Just a little further!" Tessa said with a grunted heavily. After the final cast, it released a great light within the Doctor, thus freeing him off the curse of Dormammu and Jedah.

Dr. Strange was now his normal self. "Hey Doc; I think this belongs to you." Spider-Man tossed the Eye back to Strange.

"How are you feeling Doctor?" Tessa asked.

Strange answered, "Fine, all thanks to your purification spell, now I believe we have a demon to banish once more."

"It makes no differences, for you shall all suffer my wrath." Dormammu said turning his attention to the heroes.

"Your time on earth is over Dread Lord!" Dr. Strange exclaimed.

"We shall see!" As he tighten his fist, he launched out sickle blade filled with the magical flames. For the next move, he stretched his arms to reach his blood nails towards the heroes. Strange, Tessa, and Donovan have casted a barrier, therefore canceling the attacks.

But the Dread Lord was not done just yet, as he pointed his arm upward, a stream of fireballs had begun to fall. Each of them carried a bomb of magical power inside each flare. With determination, Thor blasted up to stop the fireballs. With his mighty hammer, he had full control of the skies.

"Defend!" Dr. Strange shouted shooting out a barrage of bolts within his hands.

"Be gone demon of the dark world!" Tessa yelled casting a bunch of elemental spells at the demon.

Within his prayer beads, Donovan summoned guardians to aid him. Each of the guardians launched projectile blast after another.

Spider-Man and Jon Talbain leaped for their fast melee attacks, now powered by magic at the Dark Being, causing him to fall on his back. But even after the attacks, he was still ready for more. Relentlessly, the Dread Lord and the Demon kept on firing their combined attacks. It was not till the God of Thunder hailed the fireballs and his roaring thunder at the beast. Now the being was on his knees.

"It is time, I banish you to dimension much worst then your own Dormammu, that way you will no longer be a threat anymore. Eye of Agamotto, cast this fiend to the deepest dimension possible!" Dr. Strange activated his latest spell. But he could not do it alone, so Tessa had assisted him. Not only that, but Thor aided him as well. And finally Donovan lend his blade as well. Together the magic sorcerers fused their magic into one. It delivered a great beam of magic blasting a hole through the dark one.

After that, the Dread Lord was unfused. And he and his servants were sent being sucked up in a dark portal. The cyclone used its intense gravity force to pull the dark beings into the unknown. Along with his servants, they situation left the Dread Lord shouted out his final words. "Nooooo!"

It was hard effort, but they have manage to cast away Dormammu and his underlings once again. As his dark influence was gone, so were the blood skies. Not only that, but the citizens started to receive their souls back. Rising up on their feet once again, the people were happy to have regained conscious after waking up from their supposed nightmare.

"I must thank you all once again for your assistance." Dr. Strange said to his allies.

"It was my pleasure Doctor." Talbaine said.

Being the drifter as his is, Donovan required not thanks as he and Anita proceeded on their endless journey to hunt down anymore dark beings. But he knew it would not be the last, he would ever see of him. Thor had also left to go aid his fellow fallen Avengers.

"So what are you going to do? You are going to go back to your hometown of Iceland?"

After healing the last of her injuries, she replied, "Icelarn, and no. I will explore what this world has to offer in terms of great mystery in hopes to further improve my power."

"There is temple in Tibet that I once learned from; they are always looking for sorcerers like you to aid them. He is called the Ancient One."

Tessa smiled. "Yes, I will go and visit that temple of yours Doctor."

Spider-Man looked up at the bright blue sky and wondered, "By the way, what do you think happened to the Demon Crest?"

"They were sent back into their original dimension. But I would not worry about them, because our magic not only blasted the demon by the crest as well." Dr. Strange had explained.

Meanwhile through the wastelands of the demon dimension, the Red Arremer stepped through the endless of amount of bones, both consisting of human and demon bones. It was a never-ending battle for power and survivor. It was not till long as he stumbled across the six colored crest. It began to bring back so many memories to the fire demon.

As he held one of them in his claw, he sensed the powers were faintly there. Then after a second, it had disappeared. Now they were as useless as an old jewel. All six of them, no longer had the elemental powers like before. Firebrand was not surprised on this outcome. Looking back, he remembered why he cast the crest years ago. He acknowledged his strength and his strength alone. So the crest to him was unnecessary then as it is now, as he tossed them off to the deepest abyss of the demon realm, he continued his quest to find an advisory worthy of his skills.
