Wakanda, the country of Africa, has always been their own independent nation, not welcoming outsiders or even asking for their help. It was a more primitive and civilized African culture. They had technology that was decades ahead of people, even made Stark tech look second rate.
Wakandain warriors and soldiers prepared for battle, day or night like night owls. When slight rumble in the trees was heard they spotted slight glimpse of unknown foe, already they went in for the attack. They didn't take any chances with outside invaders. It wasn't until Hydro-Man had quickly trapped them under his watery prison. Wizard lifted the Wakandian's hovering his shoulder.
Klaw shot a devastating sound wave causing the Wakandain people a massive earache. And Trapster made the final move by blasting a sticky chemical, covering up most of their body, but still breathing, nonetheless.
"The infiltration is a success." Wizard reported.
"Proceed with phase two of the plan, and hurry before deadline. And you shall claim your reward." Wizard's client ordered. "Whoever gets in your way, deal with them personally."
Continuing on their mission, Storm was the first one to be alerted of the activity going on. Thunder and lightning raged from the skies calling out like an angry god.
"Your path ends here. Surrender now and you will be spared." Storm demanded.
"No thanks." Trapster said blasting out stream of toxic projectiles. Wizard made the second move by tossing his anti-gravity disk. But being the Weather Witch she is, simple projectile attacks proved to be ineffective against her.
"You were warned." Storm shot back.
Wizard and Trapster held their hands out in surrender. She could not help but find it suspicions as she approached the super villains. Wizard grinned which made Storm raise an eyebrow. But before she could attack Klaw had already struck her from behind, this time with a more amplified sound wave. Hydro-Man made the final move by placing her head in water prison.
Due to the lack of air, it was hard of Storm to concentrate on her powers. The more she struggled the more pressure came to her. Soon the struggling had seized and she had already passed out.
"Bring her along with us, she could prove quite useful." Wizard suggested.
While Chun Li was on her mission with Cap, Spider-Man was assigned a mission from the Avengers. Instead he was with the New Avengers on this mission. There he was accompanied by Iron-Fist, Luke Cage, the Thing, War-Machine, Ms. Marvel and Strider (but only as reserve member). Given instructions by Black Panther, it was mission in Wakanda. The New Avengers moved through the forest of Wakanda away from the army who are very hostile towards outsiders. By time they stepped foot into the African plains, the Wakanda army greeted them with spears and guns.
"Um, we come in peace." Spider-Man said out of the blue.
"So it seems, follow us, King T'Challa have been expecting you." The soldier replied.
Black Panther turned his back towards the New Avengers. "Welcome my friends, as you can see we have crisis on our hands. Outsiders have invaded Wakanda by sneaking into the backdoor, thanks to M'Baku the Man-Ape. Once again he's after the Wakanda throne and he's teamed up with some hired mercenaries including the Frightful Four. The members are Wizard, Trapster, Klaw and Hydro-Man."
"I guess Man-Ape created his own fan club, how cute." Spidey joked with witty humor.
"M'Baku promised the mercenaries the Vibranium mount as payment for helping him take over Wakanda. But no matter what, we can't let it fall into the wrong hands, otherwise we are finished. Are you with me?"
Luke Cage scoffed. "Whatever, just as long as we get paid up front."
Iron-Fist smiled. "Yeah, what he said."
Thing cracked his knuckles. "Let's just make it quick, I have a game to catch up on, but I'd take a nice hot meal too."
"I'll make sure to give Stark the bill." Panther says.
"Your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man is at your service, your highness." Spider-Man said.
"I'll do whatever I can to help T'Challa." Ms. Marvel agreed. Iron-Fist, Thing, and War-Machine nodded their heads in agreement.
"King T'Challa, we're under attack by outsiders!"One of the Wakandain officers informed Black Panther.
"All forces to your positions fend off the intruders as much as you can. I'll deal with Man-Ape. If there is one thing he is weak against, it's his own greed."
Man-Ape appeared on screen interrupting the conversation. "Is that so little cub?"
"You will pay for this treachery M'Baku that I swear." Panther shouted shaking his fist.
"I have little time for your pity threats cub, for the advantage is mind. But I am a nice person, so I'll give you the chance to surrender and I promise to spar the lives of your people, as well as your bride to be." Man-Ape presented Storm in their chained up with special technology that neutralizes powers.
Panther clenched his fist in anger. "You are ruled by greed Man-Ape. It will be your undoing."
"Humph, we'll see you about that when we meet in battle. Or else you could give the throne to me and I will let her go without scratch."
"You will pay for this M'Baku!"
"I await your final decision cub; you have couple of hours to decide." Man-Ape concluded.
Ms. Marvel blocked Panther's way. "T'Challa, I speak for everyone when I say this is a trap."
"Man-Ape had disgrace Wakanda long enough, he has to be stopped. He even has my wife held hostage." Black Panther placed his hand on Spider-Man's shoulder. "Spider-Man, you and others job is to see to it that the Vibranium Mount doesn't fall into the wrong hands."
Spider-Man winked. "You'll go alone Panther, but you won't be alone."
"Get moving people, with this much Vibranium it would make us a fortune." Wizard commanded the soldiers as the raided the Mount. With a large amount of Vibranium in their arsenal, it would make them most powerful. It was a job well done.
"Hey Wizard, didn't anyone ever teach you to ask before taking?" Luke Cage called
"I should have known that feline would ask for help from the Avengers, attack." Wizard went in for the attack.
All the unknown mercenaries focus fire on Luke Cage's unbreakable skin which had him remain standing. The bullets tickled his chest only a bit. The soldier was left dumbfounded by his reaction. Luke had no problem pounding them afterwards.
War-Machine and Ms. Marvel took out the security cameras to avoid more forces coming their way. Iron-Fist and the Thing handled the ground work taking care of the mercenaries, therefore, stopping their plans.
"You men, take what you can back to the ship." Wizard ordered the soldiers.
Surprise enough, War-Machine and Mr. Marvel waited for Wizard outside before they ambushed him with straight projectile attacks. Now that he was away from the Mount, it was free for all. They released a powerful double impact enough to take down the super villain.
"Curse you all." Wizard moaned in pain as he passed out.
Ms. Marvel and War-Machine high-fived for good team work.
When Luke Cage took out the last soldier, he tore his jacket and revealed a Latveria symbol. Now he had clear idea who the soldiers were. "So what did Doom promise you in exchange for helping him?" Luke inquired holding soldier by the collar.
"We'll never answer to vermin like you. We take it to the grave if we have to." The soldier shot back arrogantly.
Luke's grip on the soldier tightens. "I can be very convincing. If you know what's good for you."
It was easy to find Man-Ape's location, since T'Challa knew the country of Wakanda like his own backyard. He burst in with open claws ready to skin Man-Ape alive. "Your early then I expected little cub." M'Baku said in soft tone/
"Enough, M'Baku! Where is my wife?" Panther had exclaimed with extreme rage.
Man-Ape pointed his index finger to Storm. The mutant was chained up from feet to chest, and had mouth restraint, while unconscious. Black Panther was itching for revenge; any moment he wouldn't to tear Man-Ape apart but even he had to be careful. As the ball of his foot lifted off the ground, he charged at Man-Ape. Out of nowhere, Klaw, Hydro-Man pinned Panther to the ground.
Man-Ape chuckled folding his arms. "You didn't think I'd come alone, did you little cub?"
Web shot at Man-Ape's face as Spider-Man as Strider cut down Hydro-Man and Klaw. "I know you too well to know you don't play fair M'Baku, so I had them follow me."
"Hey Man-Ape, isn't there some trees you should be climbing or bananas you should be eating?" Spidey says.
Enraged, Man-Ape pounded his chest and roared. Strider and Spider-Man kept Klaw and Hydro-Man busy; Black Panther took on Man-Ape.
With every sound blasted at Strider, it was cut through with his Cypher blade. Klaw adjusted his sound emitter and charged large wave of pure sound, able to take down a whole building. Even if the pressure was too much, Strider continued to march towards Klaw.
"Not possible, this alone would make anyone go mad!" Klaw was beyond shocked on Strider's not giving up the fight. Strider multiple himself in two and cut Klaw's weapon. It was close call, but he managed to succeed even at the cost of his blade being cracked.
Strider knocked out Klaw. "There is no place for amateurs."
"Hold still web head, how about coming in for a swim?" Hydro-Man chased Spider-Man all over Wakanda lands.
Spider-Man leaped from tree to tree. "I hold love to swim Hydro-Man, but I forgot my bathing suit."
As Spider-Man continued to get away from Hydro-Man, he stumbled across a deserted factory. All he had to do is wait for the right time and then strike. He now knew what to do as Hydro-Man caught up to him in pure water form. When it was time to strike, Spider-Man hopped out of the way.
"Nice trick Spider-Man, but you're crazy if you think this is going to work on me." Hydro-Man shouted, before he found himself trapped.
Spider-Man lied back relaxing with his hands behind his head. "Liquid Nitrogen Hydro-Man, fresh to order for your taste."
Now Hydro-Man was Hydro-Icicle.
The two primal beasts matched both speed and strength. Man-Ape was all about bronzes. Black Panther was all speed. For each miss, he tired Man-Ape more and more. Panther hit limbs and body organs with his claws. With series of kicks and punches, Man-Ape was easily taken down.
Panther retracted his claws. "Your punishment will be most severe Man-Ape."
Even with his broken blade, Strider Hiryu was able cut Strom free. T'Challa reunited with his wife and embraced her in a big, warm, hug. "Are you alright?"
"Yes, T'Challa, I am fine." Strom answered hugging him back.
Spider-Man hopped in. "So, do we get invited to the after party?"
As Man-Ape, the Frightful Four, and the Latverian mercenaries were under lock down in Wakanda solitary confinement super prison. One Latverian soldier had remained as he managed to sneak out before the other mercenaries were captured. When the coast was clear he reported to his lord and master by com on a private plane back to Latveria. It was only cart full, but better than nothing.
"I trust you succeed with the Vibranium?" Dr. Doom asked.
The mercenaries bowed his head. "Yes, my lord, and what of the others?"
"They are expendable. As long as you got the Vibranium needed that is all that matters. Transfer the amount through teleport at once, and I will send you the location."
"Yes lord Doom. And the heroes, they are soon to intervene?"
"Fear not, I have developed a foolproof plan to get rid of Earth's Mightiest Heroes and their allies, so remain on standby and I shall give you the instructions."
"Yes my lord."
