Hero's No More: "Marvel Zombies" Part I
As Ama had left the Soul Society to try to go back home, she went into the Limbo universe once again. Ama didn't want to go to another world or somewhere else in time. But, Guerrero had its own plans for her. As Ama traveled through the universe, Guerrero began pulsing near a vortex that showed an image of a city during the evening time. Ama decided to go through the vortex hoping it would lead her home. When she stepped onto the ground from the vortex, she found herself surrounded by water. Ama turned around and soon realized she was on Liberty Island. Ama saw the Statue of Liberty had no head. Then Ama looked at the sea water and saw that her hair was silver. Ama knew though that only on the full and new moon her hair would turn silver. But, somehow her hair was that color for no reason at all.
Then Ama heard screaming coming from New York City, which wasn't that far from Amas location. "Run away it's the end of the world Z-Zombies!" a woman said while running for her life. Unfortunately for the woman she was eventually caught by one of the Zombies that had metal claws and was devoured. Ama twitched her right eye in horror she stabbed her sword to the ground and dropped down to her knees. "Oh my god, is this Armageddon? Guerrero I don't understand. Dammmmmmn yoooooooooou Zombiessssssssss. DDDDAAAAMMMMNNNN YOOOU TOO HELL!!!" Ama yelled out to the sky. Ama didn't understand what was going on and why Zombies were around. Myoga stayed in Amas pouch because he figured if he ran he'd be left behind.
So the only option Ama could think of was to investigate this situation. She didn't want to but, she felt like trying to find survivors. Ama went into New York City hoping not to encounter any Zombies. But, as always trouble followed again, she ran into a Zombie who was once a hero to the innocent which was Spiderman. "Hey there ma'am you lost?" Spiderman said. "Ah no n-not really… Hey wait a minute aren't you Spiderman the comic book hero I always read about, a-and why are you a zombie?" Ama paused as she saw Spiderman coming closer to her slowly. Ama pulled out Guerrero from its sheath and backed away. "D-don't come any closer you huge spider o-or else…" Spiderman laughed and jumped at her. Ama out of desperation grabbed Guerrero with both hands and sliced Spiderman's right arm off. But, Spiderman with his left arm still attached to him shot a spider web from his hand, forcing Ama to let go of her sword.
"Oh crap, not good, not good at all, a comic book hero is about kill me." Ama said. Ama screamed from the top of her lungs and started running to her sword but, Spiderman grabbed Ama by her cape. "Well, you cut off my good arm but, I can still eat you with my other arm!" Spiderman said. Ama was dead silent and tried to struggle free. As she did only part of her cape was ripped off. Oh damn it not my family cape. Ama thought to herself. She flashed stepped and ran to the wall of a building where Guerrero was stuck to. Spiderman surprised at Amas speed was still hungry and wanting Amas flesh. Some how Amas flesh had a substance that was more of a sweet scent seeing as the dormant demon blood was in her.
Ama ripped off the webs that were still attached to Guerrero and used Flaming Phoenix on Spiderman. But, a lass Guerrero wasn't able to use its power. Ama tried it again but, didn't work either. Spiderman came closer. "Damn it Guerrero why won't you use your power on this stupid overgrown arachnid." Ama then figured the only way to get rid of Spiderman was to cut him apart. Seeing as she had already cut one of his arms off. So she made herself stop running and charged at Spiderman by flash stepping and slicing his body in pieces.
After that Ama traveled to an area by Leecker St. in New York City. When Ama turned a corner she saw a man having his brains eaten by a Zombie Duck named Howard the Duck. Ama was very disgusted and stayed near by and unseen. After the Zombie Duck had eaten the man's brains he went after the super heroin named Dazzler but, the same man appeared again along with a woman named Scarlet Witch. Ama couldn't believe what she was seeing and while staying near by learned that the man's name was Ashley Williams. Ama also over heard their conversation about going inside a building which belonged to Dr. Strange and that there was a book that was maybe able to stop the Zombies. So Ama watched them walk to the building.
"Another stinkin' Deadite." Ash said as he kicked the door open. Ash, Scarlet Witch, and Dazzler went inside and saw a Zombie feasting on a dead corpse. "All right zombie scum. Whaddaya have to say for yourself—Before I blast ya to kingdom come?" Ash says while he looks at the zombie. Both Scarlet and Dazzler were silent though and Ash continued taking to Doctor Strange (the zombie). Ash explained the situation and they needed to get a book. Dr. Strange told them the location of the library and then out of nowhere Ash shot the zombie with his Boom Stick. The three of them ran up stairs and saw the library. But, what they didn't know was that someone had been already there.
Ama heard voices and hid behind one of the shelves as Ash, Dazzler, and Scarlet, split up to find what they're looking for. Scarlet was headed to Ama's direction; Ama didn't want to be seen but, had no choice. Scarlet found Ama and was being threatened and was asked how she came in undetected. "Simple I came in through the back door." Ama said with a small grin. Ash and the girls were dumbfounded for a bit. "So what's a little gal like you doing in a place like this?" Ash asked. Ama looked down and then looked at Ash and gave him an evil stair. "One I'm not little! Two I've fought off a Zombie with a duel sword that lost it ability to use demonic attacks! And three I'm stuck it this crazy dimension trying to go home!" Ama said out loud. Dazzler covered Amas mouth before Ama could continue. "Jeez not so loud we don't want the rest of the zombies to know our whereabouts." Dazzler said to Ama's ear.
Scarlet then asked Ama how she ever ended up in their universe. Ama explained her story from when her sword originally, use to be two blades and how she learned that Guerrero was able to go through time and space itself. Ash couldn't believe that a small girl with a big sword was capable of doing that. "So Ama you want to leave this place to eh? Well then have you heard of the book of the Necronomicon?" Ash asked. "Um… sorry dude I don't follow." Ama replied. Ash smacked his forehead. "It's a book capable to bring destruction and death." Ash added. Ama put her right index finger to her cheek while looking at the sealing. "Oh you mean the book of the Dead?" Ama replied. Ash nodded. "Yeah I know about it why?" "We need that book in order to save this world." Dazzler said. Ama scratched her head and replied, "Let me guess you guys want me to help ya fine it right?" They all nodded and Ama agreed.
As they started looking Ash warned the girls that the books bite if you touch them. Dazzler found a grey book that had a face on it. Ash grabbed one of the coal grabbers by the fire place in the library and grabbed the grey book and tried getting the book to talk. Unfortunately the book wouldn't answer to them and so Ash threw the book into the fire place. Ash pulled out another book with the coal grabber and gave it to Ama to hold. This book was red and had horns on it. Ash threatened the red book with his chainsaw to try making it talk. The red book gave in and started explaining about the book of the Necronomicon's origin and the books corruption of people. But, Ash interrupted and replied. "I didn't ask for an entire damn book report. Just the CliffsNotes. Now spit it out—Where's the Necronomicon?" The book in a terrified tone said, "Latveria." "There. Wasn't that simple?" Ash said.
Both Dazzler and Scarlet Witch weren't happy. Ama was silent knowing she had to go out there again. Ama was upset that Guerrero lost its demonic power and wondered why. Dazzler walked to the window to see if the cost was clear. "My God… it just keeps getting worse." Dazzler paused and said "Th-the children." Ama walked over to see for herself. Ama was horrified when she looked out the window. What Ama and Dazzler saw were four young super hero children that also were also infected by other zombie hero's attacking innocent humans. After that they went down stairs and Dazzler said that she had her Quinjet near by passed the Zombie children. They were at the door and they were trying to devise a plan on how to get through, they were thinking of using Ama as a distraction but, Ama refused and told them that her sword still didn't have its demonic power back.
Suddenly they heard a big boom and they saw a group of people who looked like they were prepared to face the zombies. Ash signaled the girls to leave since the children were distracted. But, as soon as they got to the jet a Zombie was right there. It was none other than Iron Man. Ash and the girls were surprised and Dazzler and Scarlet used their abilities to temporarily sustain him. Ash and Ama went on ahead inside first as the others followed after them. Their flight took about several hours and as they were about to land. Dazzler and Scarlet told Ama and Ash about Doctor Doom. Who is a ruthless villain hell-bent on the destruction of man kind. Ama told Myoga to not show his face when they went inside. Ama knew that Myoga was the typical fleer and didn't want to risk losing him.
Back in New York Super Hero's left and right were getting infected by this unknown cause. Some one posed as Scarlet Witch who was actually Mysteak set one of the Super Hero's up. She was also infected like the rest and infected Quick Silver. Quick Silver had the ability of Super Speed and as he got infected ran across the world from Britain, Russia, Japan and other countries.
As they entered Dooms Castle Ash was trying to be a big shot demanding he check out Dooms library. But, Doom grabbed Ash's throat with his metal arm and threatened to remove Ashes head from his body. "My dear Miss Maximoff you know the Scarlet Witch is always a welcome guest in Castle Doomshadt—and Dazzler as well—under any circumstance…but that does not give you license to drag in what ever riffraff you see fit." Doom said angrily.
Scarlet Witch then replied "No, Lord Doom, you've got it all wrong. This—man Ashley Williams has information on what's behind the Zombie plague…he says he can stop it. Also this girl here, Amazon Callaway has a strong ability like a demon and assisted us on coming here." Doom turned around and started walking to his laboratory he said to them. "The Necronomicon has nothing to do with what is happening outside the secured walls of Doomshadt. The origin is extraterrestrial not supernatural." Ash got mad and Doom signaled his droids to restrain Ash. Dazzler tried to plead with Doom to see the book. But, it was no use Doom rejected. As they kept talking it turned out Doom said that it was a pan-dimensional virus, a cosmic contagion. Ama heard Doom as she snuck away from them to take a look around Doctor Doom's castle and find the library herself.
As Ama walked to one of the hallways Myoga asked Ama why she left them and that Ama was in no condition to fight. Ama ignored Myoga and kept walking. "Who are you and why are you intruding." A voice said. Ama turned around and saw a man who was bitten and became a Zombie. Ama freaked out and said. "What the hell I thought Doom said this place was protected by a force field." The man laughed and said. "Yes, yes it is but, you see I was outside before the force field went up and was bitten. I don't even like Doctor Doom even though I work as one of his scientist." Myoga jumped out of Amas pouch and Ama took out Guerrero. "Well zombie scum I might as well take you in before you take any one out."
Ama started charging at the zombie with her sword. The Zombie moved out of the way and tried to bite Ama. She side-stepped and slashed it's back. But, seeing as the zombie was still alive it still managed to attack Ama. The Zombie grabbed Amas cape when she tried to slash him again. The Zombie threw Ama to the wall and Ama was knocked out for a bit. Suddenly as soon as Ama was unconscious a Dark spiritual pressure hovered over her. The Zombie came closer to her and tried to eat her. But, was stung as Amas black spiritual pressure stung the zombie. Amas body lifted itself up and her eyes became red as blood when she opened them. Even though Guerrero could not use its abilities, Ama some how had some spiritual abilities, that also protected her from danger thing is Ama never noticed it. Ama grabbed Guerrero as she was getting closer to the zombie. She flash stepped behind the zombie and said in an emo tone, "Die." as she slashes off the zombies head.
Myoga frightened went closer to Ama. "My Lady, are you alright?" Myoga said with concern. Her black spiritual pressure suddenly faded and her eyes went back to normal. "Ah my head damn it!" Ama said out loud as she touched her forehead. Myoga was relieved that Ama was back to normal and as she looked behind her. Ama saw the zombie she fought was cut into peaces. Ama asked Myoga how did it happen and Myoga explained in small detail.
As they walked again Ama ran into an unexpected person. "Oh um… Doctor Doom uh hi…" Ama said nervously.
