Silver Surfer punched Blacklove in the middle of her chest. Instead of causing damage like had had intended his silver hand sunk into her chest like it was tar. Then the daughter of Mephisto smiled as what looked like arcs of black electricity filled Silver Surfer's body. Norrin screamed wildly and then fell to the ground shaking. While Blacklove was occupied gloating over her victory she was suddenly slammed with a powerful telepathic assault from Captain Marvel and Oracle. Genis had used his Mind Gem to unite Oracle's and his powers. Then he amplified them ten-fold. The demoness let out an excruciating scream which was so powerful that it bought Gladiator to his knees and knocked Firelord, Hussar, and Starbolt unconscious. Ororo seeing that the battle was beginning to go badly launched herself on Blacklove thrusting her teeth into the dark creature's neck. Blood storm's attack threw off Blacklove long enough for Genis's and Oracle's combined attack to have even more of an affect as it ore through her mind.
"Enough!" Blacklove yelled as her eyes turned a deep crimson. Captain Marvel and Oracle turned stiff and feel to the ground as if they were statues. Black lighting filled Ororo's body and try as she might the vampire couldn't free her fangs from Blacklove's flesh. Smiling the Queen of Darkness pulled Bloodstorm off her body as if she was a paperclip and flung her into the air. As the woman's body flew through the air a black pillar arose rapidly from the ground slamming with her body. You could hear the bones crack at the collision.
Gladiator snuck up behind Blacklove and slammed her in the head with his elbow. Kallark then began to pummel the daughter of Mephisto with blow after blow. He didn't want Blacklove to get the chance to gain her composure and attack as she had the others. Gladiator almost began to get a little confident as his blows began to draw thick blood. Then out of nowhere all around him there came a wicked laughter. Looking down at Blacklove, Gladiator saw it as a bloodied Hobgoblin instead of the fact of his opponent, the daughter of Mephisto.
"Gladiator behind you!" Warstar yelled out in his robotic voice, bit it was too late. The giant black mass rapped itself around Gladiator. Within a matter of seconds the mass had his entire body surrounded. And in that same amount of time the black muck vanished. What Warstar saw next left him feeling stunned. In front of him was an emaciated Gladiator. You could see his bones through his uniform, which now hung from him loosely. It was like the mass had sucked the life out of Gladiator. Warstar began to now wonder if it was wise to come here.
"Perhaps you could make a good servant robot," Black love said from behind the Imperial Guardsmen. Warstar turned around to see Blacklove seated on a large black throne with bats flying around her.
"This ends now witch!" Silver Surfer, hurt and crippled, said as he enveloped Blacklove in a large cosmic wave of energy which altered, distorted, and mangled Blacklove's molecules causing her to fall to the ground defeated and deformed. Norrin knew she would eventually pull herself together, but for now she was defeated and that's all that mattered. Now it was time to find Adam Warlock and help the rest of the Infinity Watch out.
Elektra, Pyro, Drax, and Alastaire entered into the large chamber to find Adam Warlock chained to a large rock with nails fit for railroads driven into his shoulders. Green energy emanated from his Soul gem. Elektra was taken aback at the sight of her lover being tortured. Ms. Natchios was adamant on the fact she was going to save her lover. In font of Adam were the vampires Spike, Angel, and Drezan. All three of them held swords in their hands ready for battle.
"Admission to see Warlock is blood so open up those veins," spike smiled bearing his teeth. Aggrandizement was soon going to come his way if they managed to bet and kill these clowns. Mephisto didn't like people snooping around in his time territory. It really aggravated the guy.
"That admission is way too high mate! How bout I free my leader on my own," Pyro exclaimed as he used his Time Gem to age the chains and nails holding Warlock to dust. Adam Warlock quickly decamped from the rock that held him and tackled Drezan to the ground.
Suddenly the ground began to rumble and quake and behind Pyro and Alastaire erupted the Prince of Darkness, Blackheart. With a large fist he knocked Alastaire and Pyro to the side. Elektra pulled out her sais and charged into battle with Angel. The two were evenly matched with their weapons so they didn't have time to help their allies. Spike ran into Drax throwing his sword into the Infinity Watchmen's chest shattering the sword.
"Well, you're quite the brute," Spike exclaimed as Drax smiled and punched him in the chest sending the vampire into a wall.
Elektra meanwhile ducked the sword of Angelus and kicked him in the inner thigh. As he lost his balance she stabbed him in the neck with her and with her other sai stabbed him in the back. And just as quickly she pulled out her sais and left Angel to nurse his wounds.
"Vampire are such buffoons! They have no right to be denizens of my father's kingdom," Blackheart cursed as he lifted Pyro and Alastaire by their necks off the ground. His grip around them began to tighten draining away their air.
Pyro used his Time Gem to teleport himself and Alastaire behind Blackheart three seconds into the future. Before Blackheart even had time to react Alastaire used his Reality Gem to turn Blackheart into a bright blue marble statue.
"Do you know who we just beat!" Pyro huffed still trying to catch his breath. Alastaire looked up at him and let a wide grin come on his face.
Warlock punched Drezan in the fact causing blood to flow freely from his nasal cavity. Drezan then kicked Warlock in the shin and spun his body around stabbing Adam in the arm with his sword. The Soul Gem wielder yelled out in pain as a green blast slammed into Drezan making him relive all his past mistakes. He saw all the hurt and pain he had caused his ex-lover, Adam Warlock. He glimpses how he had brutally killed some of his good friends and how he shamelessly fought for various vampire syndicates.
"You may best me now Warlock, but never again!" Drezan hollered teleporting away. After he was gone Adam Warlock fell to the ground exhausted from the injuries he received during his time in Mephisto's realm of evil. Elektra ran to her fallen lover and held him close. She thought for only the slightest of moments that she would never get the chance to embrace Adam again. She had lost him once many years ago. She wasn't going to lose him again. Not even if it took her last breath and all her strength of will.
"What took you guys so long? It's far too hot here!"
Elektra smiled at Adam as she held him in her arms.
Singapore"This shouldn't be too hard," Superman said as he dusted his hands together. His team, the JLA, and the X-Men were going up against the omnipath Gamemaster and his cyborg army that was 10,000 strong. Too hard indeed.
"You know Superman you have the most amazing talent for understatement," Dazzler said winking at the big lug. She had grown quite a liking for Ka-el during the time, though brief, she's had to spend with him. Of course she kinda felt that his feeling toward her were the same.
"Trust me Alison. An army of cyborgs is a piece of cake. Now try to take me out to Tango and then we'll have a problem on our hands," Superman smiled. He found Alison to be quite the attractive lady, but his wife, Andrea Beaumont, was waiting for him back home. That was if they ever got home. At this rate it was starting to become more and more hopeless for the JLA. Lex and Batman worked at is night and day, but sometimes things were even out of their reach.
"Lets try to stay focused people. You ready to hit it Flash?" Polaris asked as she wrapped her arms around Flash's neck tightly. She was about to experience something she had never experienced before. Later on she knew she was going to abhor this experience greatly. Flash made sure Polaris was holding tight and with a smile of a maniac took off at a speed that would put a jet to shame. His target was the man at the front of the army.
As soon as Wally was in a few feet of Gamemaster he came to an abrupt and raucous stop. Polaris used the stop to propel herself right into Gamemaster. Lorna quickly put her on hands on the sides of Gamesmaster's temples and began to pump his bring full of magnetic energy. That would keep him and her busy.
Watching from above with binoculars Batman proclaimed without sounding at all excited," They've done it! Now it's our turn."
