Here's chapter 2. Thanks for the review and I'll answer the questions I got.
Carnage, or Cassidy was thought killed by the Sentry
When he erased their marriage Mephisto also changed the timeline. Civil War, Planet Hulk didn't happen or the events went differently. I'll reveal which is which later enjoy.
2: Blood Moon
Peter sat atop one of the many skyscrapers that made up the concrete jungle. 'I don't understand it but I get the feeling that this is all wrong.' He thought as he watched the moon slowly wheel its way over the shining metropolis.
"Penny for your thoughts." Whispered a feminine voice behind him. Peter turned to see Blackcat standing behind him. 'Can she possibly be any hotter?' he asked himself as the curvy heroine walk up to him.
"Nice to see you cat." He said.
"Likewise Spider." She spoke and kissed Peter on the lips, or what would have been his lip if this mask wasn't on. Peter would call their relationship complicated. By day they didn't know who each other were but by night they enjoyed each others company.
"So any action tonight?" She said crouching at the edge of the rooftop overlooking the city.
"Nothing yet but my section of the city is pretty small." Peter said sitting beside her. New York was home to many heroes and the ones who patrolled the streets had gotten tired of running into one another thinking they were criminals so they divided the city into sections and maintained contact through a loose connections of drop points. Police sirens caught their attention as the heroes watched several cars speed through the streets below. Peter looked up at Cat. "Duty calls." He said launching a string of webbing. Blackcat pulled a grappling hook from her belt and followed suit. Soon they were swinging side by side chasing the cop cars who came to a screeching halt outside a museum. As the cops set up a perimeter the doors shot off their hinges and out of the museum barreled Rhino. At the same moment glass shattered and what appeared to be the Green Goblin shot out of the skylight. Peter wanted to bring the Goblin down, but he had to deal with Rhino first before the big olf injured a lot of people. He motioned to Blackcat and swung down firing a threat of webbing in Rhino's path at ankle level. The massive man tripped over the snare and fell, shaking the ground with the impact. Spiderman dropped down on top of Rhino as the Blackcat landed in front of him. Peter was tossed off Rhino's back as the giant rose to his feet. Spiderman prepared to protect himself but Rhino just ran on into the cop cars and beyond. Peter and Cat followed Rhino for two hours as the behemoth dashed through the streets of New York with a one mindedness that baffled Spiderman. He noticed where Rhino was heading and looked over at Cat.
"I'll slow him down. You stun him." He called and swung forward landing in front of the rampaging villain. He dug his heels in and held his breath. 'This is gona hurt…' The impact jarred his bones but the Rhino was stopped for a moment. Peter looked up into the dead eyes of Rhino. No pupils just white. He held on but slowly Rhino was pushing him backward. Then the man let out a grunt and fell over. Peter barley leapt out of the way. He looked at Cat holding her stunner looking very pleased with herself. She smiled at him but Rhino's scream drew their attention. From beneath Rhino's armor something was moving. With a sickening crack a small dark shape shot from Rhino's back and down an ally. Peter and Cat gave chase but the creature was gone.
"What the hell was that?" Cat asked.
"I have no idea, but let's tie up Rhino and get out of here before the cops arrive." He said.
"So my place or yours?" She asked as they slung through the city.
"Let's go with yours." Peter said dropping back to follow his love interest back to her apartment.
The Darkling made its way back to its master and scurried up to sit on his shoulder. Blackheart stocked the beast's head and told it to keep an eye on Spiderman." The Darkling chattered and dashed off. As the sound of jets drew Blackheart's and Baron Mordo's attention. As a dark form dropped from the sky.
"Were you successful" Mordo asked. The leering apparition nodded and produced a small shield shaped device. Mordo took it and smiled.
"Excellent, we chose wisely to pick you as an ally War Goblin."
"It was my pleasure to work for the dark masters." He cackled in a high pitched voice. Before dismounting his glider. He snapped his fingers and the vehicle disappeared into a pocket dimension created by Mordo. "The gifts you gave me were more than enough and soon I shall have my revenge." He yelled. Mordo turned to Blackheart.
"You must go, the Gatekeeper will know of you demonic blood." He said. Blackheart nodded.
"I have prior commitments anyway." He spoke and melted into the shadows. Mordo turned and tossed the shield into the air. It levitated above the ground as he chanted in an ancient language. The shield opened and a swirling vortex of fire and ice two burning bright eyes shown in the maelstrom.
"What is it you seek?" It asked. Mordo smiled.
"Great Gatekeeper I have need to find a smith of Uru." He spoke.
As the moon rose to its zenith its white rays empowered the body of the hero known as Moon Knight. He moved quietly along the roof tops to of the city in search of his quarry.
"Marc, I got something on ambulance chatter." His partner's voice came over the radio headset.
"Go ahead." The Moon Knight hissed.
"Got a call about a girl near Central Park. She was found unconscious and had strange markings on her left arm. She was dangerously low on plasma."
"Thanks Frenchie." Marc Spector known better as The Moon Knight said and began to make his way towards Central Park. Marc was hunting a fellow creature of the night, but the thing he sought was not an avatar of Justice, but a animal that fed on the innocent when the sun went down.
"He's fed already, so he'll be stronger than before." Frenchie said. As Marc leapt from building to building.
"I know. Is the tracker still active? He asked flipping over an ally.
"Yes, he's not found it yet, but Marc the moon isn't full yet."
"I know."
"You'll be vulnerable."
"I know."
"Good luck."
"Thanks." He leapt and somersaulted to land on the edge of Central Park. He moved around looking for the recent action of his Quarry. The tracker attached to his belt beeped. A hiss came form behind and above. The Moon Knight turned and came face to face with his prey. "Morbius." He spat.
"I warned you Knight to leave me be, but you just couldn't leave well enough alone." The pseudo vampire hissed as he rushed Marc. Marc countered the rush and knocked Morbius to the ground.
"Come quietly and I promise that we will find you a cure." Marc said.
"Blade made that promise, Connors made that promise. After so long I have no faith left, only hunger!" He roared and launched himself at the Moon Knight. Hands outstretched ready to rend the vigilante to shreds. The Moon Knight dodged the attack and sprayed a mist of garlic essence from his gauntlet. Morbius fell to the ground choking on the mist. , as Marc advanced on him.
"Sorry Morbius but you gave me no choice." He said. Pulling a gun from his belt and firing. The dart hit Morbius in the neck. The vampire-man collapsed. "He's down. I'll bring him back to the citadel till I can contact the right people to deal with him." He said into his com. Static hissed back. "Frenchie?" He said tapping the mike. Dark laughter echoed through the park. The Moon Knight turned, but the sound was all around him. Growing more and more painful He threw his hands over his ears but the laughter continued. The pain became too much and he fell to the ground out cold. From the shadows of a nearby tree stepped the lithe form of Shriek. She brushed her raven black hair back from her white painted face. The numbing laughter dying down to a giggle.
"You'll both make fine additions to my master's army." She said as two Darklings leapt forward towards the fallen men.
As the night wore on Mary Jane tossed and turned in her bed. As she shifted she noticed the space next to her was unoccupied. She rose from the bed wiping the sleep from her eyes.
"Daniel." She called. The shadows near the bathroom shifted and became Blackheart. He quickly took his human form of Daniel Blackmoore.
"I'm here Mary Jane." He said returning to the bed. She smiled at him.
"I was afraid you had gone." She said as he joined her.
"Foolish I would never leave you." He whispered as he wrapped his arms around her. They kissed passionately. Blackheart tasted her purity and her innocence. He reveled in the taste as he forced his tongue into her mouth. He wanted to rip her throat out and drink her sweet life-force. A feral growl issued from his throat as he began to remove her nightclothes. It took all of his will not to ravage her until she was a husk, but the burning mark on his shoulder reminded him who she truly belonged to. Once Mary Jane had fallen asleep again the shadows along the window detached and the dark form of Thog became apparent.
"What is it?" Blackheart asked casting a sleep spell on Mary Jane.
"Did you enjoy her?" Thog asked.
"Get on with it!" Blackheart growled.
"Very well you father reminds you that she is ultimately his and that soon she will be needed to complete the spell."
"Is that all?"
"Yes."
"Then get out before I rip your head off." Blackheart roared. Thog bowed and disappeared into the night.
Well now we know what Blackheart's up to, but what happened to Moon Knight and Mobius? And why would Mordo need an Uru smith?
