Deadpool and Jones had made it to the street below, crushing a few spines in the process.
Deadpool was first, decapitating two Bloods with a double roundhouse slash.
Jones followed up, spraying some thugs with the AK-103 and grinding up internal organs.
The so-called 'gangsters' didn't know what to do as they cocked their weapons and turned off the safeties.
"We got the numbers! We can take them!"
"Not likely!"
Spade followed out of the window, firing a zipline from a wrist gun toward a building opposite of the hotel with his M-16 on his hip.
"Jones, Deadpool! GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE WAY!"
Deadpool and the Sentencer had a good idea of what would happen as pulled back some, but still keeping up with the offense. Spade fired a 40 mil frag at the small of Crips and Bloods, blowing a few of them into the sky. The remaining 'bangers turned their attention to the Snypa coming down from the sky and pointed their weapons, only for gunfire to rain down on them.
Apparently, the forgot about the Punisher and Americop, who continued to pick off some of the thugs.
Moon Knight took to the sky and came down, firing some of his crescent-shaped projectiles, hitting some throats and hearts. He drew his truncheon and fired a cable line. When he descended, he swung his spiked left hand which literally popped out an eye and smashed another 'banger in the head with the club.
Moon Knight: "Come and get it, fuckers!"
When the battle was over, the seven upholders of true justice looked at each other. No words needed to be said, but they all felt and knew the same thing:
King Blood had to be stopped. Now.
Wedding Day: Last Minute Preparations
Bloodknight's Tower
Bloodknight stood before his soldiers. He looked before New York's notorious supervillains and the city's gangs which had been constantly jockeying for position atop the throne of the Big Apple's Underworld. He was favoring the gang he ruled over: the Bloods. And then he looked at his generals: Hammerhead and Tombstone.
Bloodknight: "This is it! Today is the day! The day that we leave start a new kingdom! Today is the day we leave behind the empire that Wilson Fisk left behind and the empire that Jigsaw promised you! We will begin a new regime! One where there is room for us all! I promise you from my heart: that there will be no more fighting! No more bickering amongst ourselves! Today, New York City! Tomorrow, the entire State of New York! And after that, who knows?! Will we conquer the whole country? But first, two obstacles stand in our way! The Snypa and the Black Rose!"
The "army" gave negative reactions at their mention.
Bloodknight: "And so, my comrades! We have lost many and so let us go, knowing that we are fighting for them!"
Cheers.
NYPD Building:
Thomas Crawford and Sam Keaton stood before their own team, a combined group of 50 NYPD SWAT officers, FBI agents and Marshals in full tactic gear.
Crawford: "You have your orders, bring Spade and Rose in. Alive."
"Get Jones as well," added Keaton. "There's no doubt the Sentencer is here, Thomas. I can smell it."
Soap: "And let's not forget: these guys will not shoot at you. They will, however, beat you down and apologize."
Crawford: "Lock and load, team!"
Sullivan: "Move out!"
Quintanez: "So, Sam, how do you know Jones is back here in New York?"
Keaton: "I can tell. There was something about those bodies in that Maracelli club that screamed 'Sentencer.' He's here, Miguel."
Quintanez: "I don't doubt it, man. Let's go to work."
Rose and Bridesmaids:
Rose slipped into her black wedding gown, fitting her knives into the lace holsters under the chest area of the dress. She had a belt of throwing knives sewn in as well as she looked at her bridesmaids, all prepared.
Rose: "You ready, ladies?"
Widow: "Ready."
Tarantula: "Absolutely."
Elektra: "Definitely."
Carmilla: "Let's get those bastards."
Gora: "I'm ready. Are you?"
Rose: "Alright, then. Let's go."
Rose was ready to spend the rest of her life Spade. She had been thinking of having a family of her own and there she would be damned if anyone would interfere with this.
Spade and Groomsmen:
Castle walked over to Spade and put a hand on his shoulder.
Castle: "You ready to go through with this, Damijin?"
Spade, looking up at Castle and nodding: "Yeah. I know it isn't gonna be easy, but it's gonna be the greatest day of my life?"
Castle: "What, getting married or blowing off heads of the pieces of shit that plague New York?"
Spade, smiling: "Not sure."
Castle: "Getting married's like protecting the innocent: the best thing you'll ever do."
Spade got up, shaking Castle's hand.
"I know, Frank. I know."
Spade looked at Castle's tux. All black and of course, he just had to have the white skull on his chest.
Castle: "Let's do this and get it over with."
Spade: "Agreed."
MSG:
Spade was standing at the altar, in his black tuxedo. Next to him was Moon Knight, Americop, Night Thrasher, Jones, Deadpool, and his best man Castle. Each man was out of their crime-fighting wear and in tuxedos except for Deadpool, who was wearing a special black mask.
Spade tried to remain without a smile as "Here Comes The Bride" began to play. Everyone turned toward the end of the arena as Rose, in a black and red wedding gown, with her bridesmaids Tarantula, Elektra, Gora, Carmilla, Domino, and maid of honor Widow followed behind her. Crawford could not be there to walk her down the aisle. When she got to the end of the aisle, Spade raised her veil up and quickly kissed her lips.
"Oh my God, Rose. You look...elequently beautiful."
Rose tried not to blush the two turned to the minister.
"Dearly beloved...well, there's no one beloved, I see...we are gathered to join these two in Holy Matrimony. I guess there's no one here to object as to why these two shouldn't be married..."
"We object!"
The voice came from up in the nosebleed. There were five of them. The Green Goblin, Sandman, Electro, Kraven, and Doc Ock.
Doc Ock: "Chameleon, could you please be so kind as to come out now?"
The minister looked up at Doc Ock and pressed his belt buckle, revealing Chameleon who was holding a pair of revolvers.
And that's when all of New York's street gangs revealed themselves. And finally...
Bloodknight, coming down from the other side of the bleachers with Barracuda and Bullseye on either side: "Well, it seems that the Snypa and the Black Rose had called on some friends. Sorry to say, but the wedding's over!"
And that's when everyone opened fire....
Seconds later, the entire syndicate looked upon the court and saw no one. No bodies. Nothing. Then Bloodknight realized his mistake.
"HOLOGRAMS!!!"
And that's when it all went to hell. Spade and Rose were on the screen that was above the scoreboard.
Spade: "Hey. You bunch of cocksuckers!"
Rose: "Did you think we were stupid enough to actually get married at the Garden?"
Spade: "Hell, no. However. You are all considered...fucked."
And the 'bangers looked up...
0:03...0:02...0:01...
Bloodknight, using his powers of flight and phasing, took to the sky and escaped through the roof as the home of the Knicks, the Islanders, and Rangers came down in a massive implosion.
A bomb....that took out one of the Big Apple's landmarks.
The video feed was actually a pre-recording of Spade, Rose, and company at Yankee Stadium. The holograms were actually an illusion technique done by Gora.
And the bomb? It was designed by a local bomb maker that Spade had met at least a week after arriving in New York. But it was no ordinary weapon. The catalyst was nitro and sonic energy.
Which explains why even the Sandman couldn't escape.
However, the real wedding would not take place for at least another month or so. This was a ploy to bring down the rumored Ultimate Syndicate created by the late Jigsaw. Good riddance. All that was left was to destroy the remaining members. The cops wouldn't do it, a majority of the superheroes were across the globe, and the ones who were left behind were in other parts of the country.
But Spider-Man/Peter Parker was in Russia getting pictures for a story about the Russia-Georgia conflict.
Daredevil/Matt Murdock was working a high-profile case in Washington.
Tony Stark was in Indonesia on a "business trip," which was a cover to stop the Mandarin's latest plan.
However, War Machine had offered his assistance. He agreed that Bloodknight needed to be put down for good for the sake of justice.
Right now, Intel reported that Bloodknight and crew were holed up in some old cathedral which had been outfitted with high-tech weaponry.
So, the vigilantes needed to fight fire with fire.
The guys felt the need to go into this fight. Rose objected. Spade overruled by suggesting the women continue dismantling operations while the men go into the belly of the beast.
And the argument was settled: Americop, Thrasher, Deadpool, and Moon Knight would accompany the women while Castle, Jones, Spade, and War Machine would take the cathedral.
War Machine presented Spade and Jones with suits similar to his own. Castle had already been provided with a suit from Solitaire.
The suits were all black except for Machine's.
Each suits complete with 30mm mini-guns, shoulder rocket launchers, .50 cal wrist guns, and energy repulsors which could also form shields.
And so...it was win or lose, live or die. The final stretch of the race...
Not exactly my best chapter, but I hope you like...
