The employees of Stark Tower are not so easily surprised. After all, having Tony Stark AKA Iron Man as a CEO and boss you are bound to see weird events that make you desensitize to oddities.

"Hey did you hear about Mr Rhodes fighting the giant head MO something on a mobile base?"

"Oh yeah, I think it's MODOR. Anyway, could you give this spreadsheet to Ms Potts?

But even the workers can't believe what they are seeing. Erwin Serizawa AKA Godzilla is holding a giant plate of chocolate chip cookies and walking to individual cubicles to give each employee a cookie. One of them is taking out her wallet to pay but Erwin denies the offer.

"No thanks, you guys should have a snack for your hard work." He walks away to give snacks to others. He goes into the elevator and goes up with Luke Cage.

"Oh hello Luke. Want a cookie?" He holds his plate up. Luke shrugs and grabs one of them. "Sure thanks Erwin. What made you decide to give them away?"

"Oh I just made them for everyone and when I counted them and realized that I made too much, I wanted to give others my cookies. You know, give people a gift." Erwin explains as Luke bites into the chocolate chip and is impressed.

"Delicious just like Mom used to make. You know my pal Iron Fist has a soup kitchen. You can volunteer sometime."

Erwin thinks of the idea and nods as the door opens and they walk out. "Sounds like fun. Be sure to tell me the address later."

"Cool after this mission. Hey everyone! Erwin made cookies!" Luke Cage quickly walks away as the Apex Monster is surrounded by heroes wanting that sweet aroma.

"This is great!" Spider Man said, munching them.

Iron Man comes in and sees the plate of cookies. He grabs them. "Thanks for giving these to my worker bees. Has anyone seen Nicky?"

"Don't call me that Stark." Director Fury enters to give the next mission. "Our next destination is Atlantis. It seems The Masters of Evil are using Attuma to take over the underwater country. The Fantastic Four will go to Atlantis to assist Namor."

"We will do anything to save our friend." Invisible Woman said as her family have been friends to the King of Atlantis for years.

"There's more. It would seem a third party is erupting a volcano nearby Atlantis. If it erupts, the underwater city will boil to death."

"I mean, I love lobster as much as anyone else but this is ridiculous." Tony cuts in and Spider Man sighs. "Beat me by a second."

"As such," Fury tries to get the mission in gear. "We will send a second team to stop the eruption. That will be Speedball, Nova, and Godzilla. Namorita will be at the island to assist them."

"Yes! Finally my debut is here." Speedball is excited that this will be his first Ultimate Alliance mission while Nova can't wait to save the day. Godzilla looks at his cookies which Spider Woman notices.

"Are you okay Erwin?" She asks, wondering why he seems on edge.

"It's nothing Jessica. I just can't help but feel there is something wrong with this mission. Don't know why though."

Spider Woman can only give him words of encouragement and sets his mind to rest. "Maybe it's just jitters. This is your first mission after all. But you got this. After seeing you in Japan, I don't doubt you at all." She smiles at him and takes a bite of one of his cookies. "Hmm this is great. You definitely will get a girlfriend with that cooking.

Erwin can't help but blush at her words as he tries to regain some courage. "About that Jessica, maybe we can-"

"Godzilla!" Nova interrupts Erwin and drags him to the Quinjet. "We gotta leave now!

"Wonder what he was about to say." Jessica wonders and Peter can't help but see the conversation and sweatdrop. It reminds him of his nerdy self asking out MJ for the first time.

"Huh… So that's what it looks like from the outside."

The Quinjet flies outside the volcano into the beach. If you look into the volcano where smoke and ash is coming out from, you can see something moving inside it. Whatever it is roars with a cry that Godzilla can understand as he shivers from his seat which his teammates can see.

"Whoa Godzilla, are you okay?" Speedball asks as he is concerned if his teammate is afraid. But Doctor Serizawa has a predator look as if he is about to devour a prey whole.

"He's challenging us. He knows we are his enemies and wants to battle us." He said as they exit the jet and see a blue skin Atlantean.

"Greetings Surface Dwellers, I am Namorita. Cousin of Namor, King of the Seven Seas. I see you all saw the monster inside the volcano. Whatever it is, it seems to be living inside it and increasing the magnitude of the volcano."

"So wait, are you saying that if we don't stop it soon then it will erupt?" Nova questions and she nods.

"Sadly Atlantis is taken over by Attuma and he refuses to leave or evacuate the kingdom. We must put our fate in the Fantastic Four to save my cousin from the usurper's grasp. Let's go heroes." Namorita said as she walked with this team of rookies. All three of them have barely a year of hero work and this is their first official mission in the Ultimate Alliance. They all look up and notice the ash increasing as the ground shakes.

"He's prepared." Godzilla comments as he can feel the creature staring at them.

"God this heat." Speedball whips the sweet dripping from his head. It feels like walking on a stove. Suddenly The volcano shakes and breaks apart, showing a giant Pteranodon with its wings on fire and roars for all to hear. Trees and grass erupt on fire and they see the sand on the beach turn to glass.

"This heat!" Nova can't believe this fire around the island. Rodan takes off to the sky, his giant wings create cyclones by merely flapping his wings. Nova and Namorita fly up to go after the dinosaur while Godzilla and Speedball run at the volcano as the lava drips from the mountain. Speedball creates a barrier around his body and dives into the ground. He destroys the ground to create trenches and all the lava falls into it. Godzilla looks up and sees Nova firing energy blasts but Rodan's skin shrugs the blasts. Nova is then smacked by Rodan's wing and he falls from the sky. Luckily Godzilla jumps and catches him and they land safely. Erwin however begins to feel radiation go into his body due to Rodan emitting the radiation.

"Gah Sam! Get away from me!" He shouts at Nova as his body begins changing. The Nova corp member flies away and gets to Speedball and fires energy to deepen the hole. He grabs his fellow young hero and flies to get away from the explosion of radiation. Meanwhile above the island, Namorita calls upon the water to hit Rodan but he is more annoyed than hurt. He opens his beak mouth and fires flames. Namorita moves out of the way but her leg is hit and her wings stop and she falls from the sky. Godzilla in his monster form grabs the clone Atlantian and places her in the water to heal. The giant monster grabs Rodan by the talons and pulls him towards him.

Rodan breathes fire onto Godzilla's face as he grabs his wings. Blinded, he lets go and Rodan flies above to the cloud and dives towards him. Nova is above the island while he is holding Speedball and warns Godzilla. "He's on your 10 o'clock!"

Godzilla punches in the direction Nova said and hits the giant fire demon in the chest, causing it to fall into the sea. Namorita summons a whirlpool which envelops Rodan and sinks in the water. Speedball cheers as he is placed into the beach by Nova and Namorita lands on the beach as well. Nova pats Godzilla on the talon foot. "Nice job Godzilla."

Godzilla roars with a cheer.

"We won woo!" Speedball looks at Namorita. "That was awesome, you should be a hero!"

"You think I can be one?" The Atlantean wonders and Robbie Baldwin comes with an offer.

"I'm actually joining the New Warriors soon. You should apply too! I bet we will make a great team!" She is interested in the idea as the team prepares to leave but Godzilla dives into the sea.

Namorita looks at the giant reptile swim away. "Where is he going?"

The Fantastic Four stands next to the downed Namor and gives him medicine. He awakens to his throne room and his old friends next to him. "Reed? Susan? You have arrived in my kingdom."

"Sup water king. How's it going?" Johnny Storm knows exactly what to say to annoy the King of Atlantis. Invisible Woman explains the situation but not before smacking her brother in the head.

"Forgive him your majesty. Attuma and Tiger Shark have attack your kingdom and put you in a torture pod. We were able to save and heal you." Invisible Woman said and Namor nodded but you can see he is pissed about his imprisonment.

"You have my thanks as always Susan. I will make Attuma pay for this injustice." Namor gets up but he winces in pain.

"Please Namor, you still need to recover." Mr Fantastic tries to stop Namor from fighting with injuries but he is pushed out of the way.

"Silence Richards! You speak to Imperious Rex. The surface dwellers shall not interfere in this battle!"

"Namor, we can stop him and free your people. Please, we have been friends for years." Sue pleads as her friend needs to recover. He looks down and sighs.

"Very well Susan Richards. You have convinced me and am in your debt." He lets the Fantastic Four go after Attuma. Thing whispers to Human Torch.

"Notice he gives up once Sue talks eh?" Johnny snickers as the team enters the colosseum to see the Mandarin talking to Attuma with Tiger Shark by his side. The Chinese warlord teleports away, leaving the two water villains with the Fantastic Four.

"Well surface dwellers I must thank you. I have the reason to invade the surface because of your invasion." Attuma said as Tiger Shark snarls at the four. Tiger Shark swims towards The Thing and he punches him on the face. The aquatic villain grabs his arm and tries to bite Grimm but his teeth break. Mister Fantastic stretches his arm and punches Tiger Shark, knocking him out.

"Are you okay Ben?" Reed worries for his friend but Thing shrugs it off. "Naw Stretch, he barely break ma rock skin."

Attuma slams into the Human Torch and hits him, making him spit in pain. Sue looks at her brother in pain and summons a barrier around them. "Now Johnny!"

"You got it Sis! Flame on!" His body turns to fire and explodes with Attuma in the barrier with him. The Aquatic villain can't stand the heat so he breaks the barrier and swims away from the Fantastic Four.

"Yeah you better run!" The Thing insults the usurper but Attuma goes to a lever and pulls it down, opening a gate.

"Kraken! Destroy the Fantastic Four!" The giant squid exits and tentacle smacks Johnny, sending into a tower.

"Alright Calamari, it's clo-" Ben couldn't finish as he is smack to the ground, creating a man sized dent. Sue gets in front of her husband and creates a shield as the squid hits it. It tries to break the shield while Attuma mocks them.

"You are nothing to my greatness! I am the King of Atlantis and nothing can stop me and my Kraken!" He said but the Kraken is suddenly grabbed by a giant monster and lifted up. Attuma looks up and sees a bigger monster bite the Kraken in half. He can watch helplessly as the monster spits his squid out and glares at him. Namor places his trident behind Attuma's back.

"Do not think of moving if you value your life."

Reed looks up at the creature eating the Kraken. "Excellent work Godzilla."

Invisible Woman deactivates her shield and Mr Fantastic wraps his body around Attuma. But she gives the king a scolding. "I told you to rest Namor! You need to recover."

"Of course Susan Richards but your creature seem to stop the conflict. But this trash now must answer my questions." Namor presses his trident to Attuma's back. "Who was that interloper?"

Namor stands with Director Fury and the Ultimate Alliance as a hologram of a palace located in China. "He said it was The Mandarin of Masters of Evil."

"So they gave him a weapon. We must send a team to question Mandarin." Director Fury announces and Iron Man and Namor raise their hands.

"I'll go." They said together and they glare at eachother.

"The Surface Dweller must suffer for allying with my enemy." Namor didn't leave Atlantis to his advisors just to not get the chance to deliver justice to The Mandarin.

"Yeah well he and I have a score to settle. If there is anyone that should take down The Mandarin, it should be me." Tony remembers the man that had his minions kidnap him and torture to make weapons. He created his first Iron Man suit to escape and has been a thorn on Mandarin's side for years now.

"You both will go to the palace. Not only that but you will have assistance. Someone is attacking the palace as we speak." Director Fury tells them and Namor is curious. "Who is it?"

Ultimo punches the intruder of the palace but he jumps over the machine's fist and kicks it. The machine grabs a statue of the Mandarin and throws it at the intruder and yet he stands as the projectile comes closer.

"Hi-yah!" He punches the stone statue with a single fist. The Mandarin speaks through Ultimo.

"So you come for my head Shang Chi? You can try but I am the Master of the Ten Rings. My will is the will of the planet! I will destroy you like your precious village."

The Martial Arts Master looks at Ultimo and gets in stance. "My people cry for your defeat and I shall not fail them. Prepare for I am coming for you tyrant."

The leaders of the Masters of Evil are meeting: Doctor Doom, Loki, The Enchantress, Baron Mordo and Ultron. "Loki, did your Mandarin disguise work in Atlantis?"

"Dear doctor, I assure you my play was flawless. No doubt those fools will kill eachother." Loki boasts his skills and deception. Mordo scoffs at his fellow magician.

"Your magic was merely luck. Those fools merely cannot tell real skill."

"Careful with your word Mordo. A god is superior to a failure of a wizard." Loki insults his teammate which makes Mordo prepare to unleash his dark arts. Doom summons lightning between the magic users.

"Enough! Doom does not care for your banter. We must work together if we wish to be rulers of the planet."

Ultron waves the conflict away. "The question now is whether Mandarin and heroes will kill eachother?"

"It matters not if they do or don't." Enchantress said as she can only imagine the conflict coming. "Those that survive will be like flies to destroy. The warlord will pay for trying to overthrow you, Doom."

"But what about Intelligencia?" Loki questions about the other villain group. They are made up of Gamma villains and others that the Masters didn't recruit either because they weren't on their radar or just incompetent. "They are gathering more Gamma weapons. General Tojo joined them for vengeance after stealing his machine.

Doctor Doom scoffs about those fools. "General Tojo is an unstable buffoon. Him and the rest of those rejects are nothing. Once the heroes are dealt with, Intelligencia will be dealt with. Now let us enjoy the heroes fall in the Valley of Spirits."

Next Time- Mandarin and Trap
