Doctor Doom became well aware of Vergil escape and he wanted to examine him, in terms of power. Doombots scanned all over the city of Latveria for the demon.
"No sign of target my lord." Doombots reported.
Doctor Doom ordered, "Find him and capture him."
Upon discovery of his footprint to his presence, Doombots were about alert the others, but was quickly caught off guard by the bombs set in place to insure he was not followed. So all contact was lost.
After entering this world of the heroes, the demon Vergil used an old shop of occult artifacts for his base of operations. It was a nice breath of fresh air to finally be out of the Netherworld. He intended to fully embrace his demon heritage just like his father, not to mention settle the score with his ego eccentric brother. Vergil had taken out the remaining Doctor's Doom's robots without taking a hit. As he took out the last one he said, "Be gone."
In the meantime, all candles were set as well as the stones, and the Hex mark was written. Everything shined in place like jewelry. He drew his Yamato blade and stabbed the blade to the ground using his own blood. Hopefully, it would work this time and with new objects, since he failed last time.
Before long, huge velvet light shined across the building. Vergil grinned with satisfaction it was as if his dream had come to realize. To his surprise, his bridging the world had opened the portal to mythical monsters and demons from another world.
Nonetheless, he was still proud of his accomplishment as he had a whole army under his command. They bowed to him as their master. "Now then my friend's let us take back what is ours."
Little did Vergil know he released a powerful being? "Yes, this world will be ours."
"Well, it looks like I have a surprise guest." Vergil said.
It was nice afternoon night as Peter took a break from his Bugle work and as Spider-Man. The news of Harry was devastating for him and he felt like blaming himself even more. Chun Li stroked his hair comforting him in her lap where Peter laid. No matter what, she said it's not his fault he still felt guilty.
"Just rest for while Peter, and don't think of anything else. I know you have a lot on your mind, but you can't do everything at once." She said trying to cheer up the depressed Peter Parker.
"I know, but I felt that I let everyone down." He replied soaking sadness.
"I'm almost amazed Osborn didn't blame Spider-Man for his son's loss. That would add more fuel to the fire for Jameson."
"Yeah, but no one but us knows he's really the Green Goblin. I still never had forgiven him for taking Gwen from me." The thought of loss on Gwen made his body cringe. It still hurt inside.
Chun Li placed her hand on his check and said, "I felt the same way once, but if you worry about it so much, otherwise you'll get wrinkles before me at age thirty five."
"Did you just make joke?"
"What? You thought I didn't have sense of humor as well. I could crack a joke too you know. And besides if Harry was still alive I'm sure he would want you to live on a nice life no matter what."
"You really think so." Peter asked.
"Without a doubt." She smiled. "So please don't forsake yourself just yet, we have strong partnership going and I would hate for it to end so soon."
Peter felt a little better and smiled a little. "Thanks Chun Li for everything."
Chun Li wrapped her arms around Peter, still lying on her legs, "Don't mention it smart guy."
The moment had now been interrupted by the sounds of monsters as they spread and sparks flied all over New York City. This aroused the attention of a lot of heroes. The darkness had purged the skies like solar eclipse all over again. Place by place people sheik in terror and fear over the monsters. To them they were nothing more by food on their place.
"If this is how Halloween is celebrated, then I hate to think what will happen on Christmas." He said.
Both up them rose up from the grass, "Peter, I'll help SHEILD with crowd control, in the meantime, get dressed and find out what's going on, and keep in touch with me." She ordered.
"Got it," Peter place his hand on her shoulder. "And be careful Chun Li."
She smiled and grabbed his touched his hand back, "I could say the same about you, and try not to be too reckless."
It didn't take his spider sense to arouse Spider-Man's attention to what was going on as he changed. It ringed through his mind constantly. As he suspected black magic was being done. And since Thor was in Asgard, this was job for Doctor Strange, assuming if he could find him at this time.
"Seize your actions at once foul demons!" called a little knight in shining armor as he tossed multiple lances at the demons attacking the people. It didn't' take long for Spider-Man to save the knight from incoming attacks taking a detour going to Doctor Strange home.
However, he was not pleased. "You must be another hell spawn. I assume your some kind of spider demon." He exclaimed.
"Demon, hey I'm not a demon, I'm human." Spidey defended.
"Do not dare to trick me with your lies demon. You may take on any shape and form, but you still can't trick me." He tossed axes and daggers at Spider-Man totally ignoring his responses. "For Sir Arthur, will save his princess and cleanse this world of monsters."
Arthur launched a barrage of weapons at Spider-Man like an angry protester. Spider-Man even tried webbing up the knight, but it was easy for him to cut and counter. "Sorry pal, there is somewhere I got to be, and that's to the next renaissance fair. You know you could be used for school play as the actual sir Arthur."
"Yes flee demon like the coward you are." Arthur continued.
On his swing around the city he discovered another person fighting the demons. They came at her in different directions, but they could not stand up to her arsenal of weapons. She had quite a figure with short black hair, and different colored eyes.
"Hey lady, careful with those weapons, you might hurt yourself." Spider-Man teased. On sight it didn't take long for her to shoot a missile at Spider-Man as she two was under the impression he was a demon.
"Okay, what is this, attack Spidey day?"
Spider-Man evaded most of her gunshots thanks to his agility and spider sense. After dodging the last bullet, Spider-Man got her by the legs with his webs. He hung her on the street light like Pinnata. "You're as gun crazy as the Punisher lady, why can't we ever just talk?"
Determined not to let up, she head-butt Spider-Man and shot him, but lucky for him he dodged it before it pieced his shoulder. She cut herself down off his webs, and was about to finish Spider-Man off. It takes one missile as she thought.
"Easy Lady, easy, he's a friend, and certainly no demon." Dante interrupted the fight as him and Deadpool stood in the background.
"Hey Spidey, how's the weather up there, aside from ups going on in the city?" Deadpool greeted.
Lady put her guns away and said, "This spandex looking weirdo is your friend?"
"Okay these are not spandex. And who are you calling weird?" He shot back.
She pulled back. "You meet the oddest people around. And if you were here this whole time, why didn't you say something before?"
"No reason, guess I was having a good time watching you kick his ass. After all, you're very cute when you're angry." She gritted her teeth in anger and gave him a hard right hook.
"Ooh you got burned Dante, and I know a thing or two about getting burned." Deadpool teased. "Wait, did I just say that?"
Lady asks Dante, "What the hell is going on here?"
Dante wiped the bruise off his cheek, "Hey I can't help it if I'm charming. And it looks like my dear brother Vergil is out of lockdown from the Netherworld. And he's doing everything he can to have demons at his control."
"And I thought Thor had family problems." Spider-Man scratched his head in disbelief.
"Guys watch out!" Spider-Man called as the big flashing velvet light shined their way. It not only impacted them, but the whole city as well. It started to corrupt itself with supernatural beings. The beam of energy had overwhelmed them without notice.
Spider-Man was the first to awake after being unconscious. But he barely had any strength to move as he was defendant on the trees holding him up. Upon exiting the park he found New York was now entirely different. Demons and monsters have taken over and made the state their home. New York had fused with another world. Firebrand and his hoard of demons surrounded them.
One hand to his side other to his head he said, "Oh boy, looks like this is going to be a long Halloween night."
