"Seems like your analysis was right Hawkeye, he is from space, only another planet." Tony said.
Tony and Jarvis scanned the Maverick Hunter fully to determine his whereabouts, but they kept their suspicion in possibilities of alien invasion. Captain America and Hawkeye stood on standby in case he got hostile. It was complicated design, but Tony had managed to study it quickly to repair Zero's damaged armor.
After sending hours in the lab, Zero had managed to regain consciousness, even if he wasn't fully repaired. He was able to move his arms and legs slightly. Zero turned his head to face Tony. "Where am I?"
"You're in Avengers Mansion. Hawkeye found you on our front porch. Sorry, I did some analysis on your systems and your armor is quite impressive. I was able to repair most of it, but you're not back at one hundred percent yet." Tony explained.
"I see looks like the teleportation was success after all." Zero groaned still weak.
"Save your strength Zero, you'll need it." Tony held Zero down, keeping him from getting up.
"Your name is Zero, hope you don't fight like one." Captain America said.
"I also scanned your memory bank. It seems like Dr. Doom is making his move. We have to move out right away. Cap stay with Zero until he recovers. Hawkeye you're with me, we're going to contact the other Avengers from Stark Tower. If Doom wants a fight we will give it to him." Tony announced.
Before the word could get out on Dr. Doom's attack the Avengers Mansion was heavily locked down as the computer systems were scrambled. Each of the remaining Avengers inside the Mansion was separated from each other.
"Jarvis, explain what's going on right now. Who's in my systems?"
"Sir, we detected an unknown virus known as the Techno…" Jarvis shut down.
"Stark, we got problems." Hawkeye alerted.
"Yeah, tell me about it."
As the Mansion was heavily locked down, a savage nanotech monster known as the Technovore made his way to the Mansion. Each machine it ate, he only got stronger, thanks to Doom's modifications. And Tony Stark was the prey on his agenda. Tony was the main entrée on the menu for the beast, bypassing the other Captain America and Hawkeye.
"Get far away Tony; Hawkeye and I will cover you, while you contact the other Avengers." Cap ordered.
Each arrow and shield thrown at the Technovore now only did it faze him, it made him go more hostile than ever. Spotted in sight, the Technovore launched at Tony and started to drain the Arc Reactor from his chest. Even if it was only seconds, Tony felt that the Technovore drained half of his life away, and thus the beast continued his pursuit not letting anyone or anything stand in its path. Little did they know the Technovore wasn't the only problem?
The other heroes were now under attack.
After getting off the phone with her superiors and being back in New York City, she stared at a photo of her and Peter together. Since their work had been very hectic, they hardly spend time with each other. She only hopes that he was doing well without her. Well off course he is, so what was she worried about?
Upon applying the finishing touch on her lipstick she saw an unknown figure through her mirror or her apartment. It only took her a second to avoid the sniper shot coming right at her. She suspected another assassin, but whom? Falling to shot her, the assassin tossed a grenade at her.
"Damn it," she grunted leaping off her apartment window.
While falling she caught hold on a pole to reduce her fall. She found herself face to face with her assassin. Before the assassin to draw her weapon, Chun Li delivered a side kick to her rips. "Who are you, and who sent you?"
The assassin growled charging at Chun Li with her combat skills. When Chun Li launched her fast kicks, the assassin found it easy to move around the flow. Chun Li even launched a mid-level version of Kikoken, only to be countered back with stronger version of the attack. It like she was reading her every movement.
This had Chun Li raising her eyebrows, "No way."
She tossed a right hook to the assassin's face only to grab her mask. When the face was revealed, Chun Li jaw dropped. It was darker version of herself, only instead of blue and white. It was blue and yellow with darker shading on her skin.
"You're me?" Chun Li exclaimed.
The assassin finally spoke, "I preferred to be called, Shadow Lady."
"So you're a clone of me, interesting? Who's your creator?"
"You don't need to know that." Shadow Lady shot back, blasting a beam at the original Chun Li.
"Your full or surprises."
As Chun Li continued to fight using her fast combat skills, Shadow Lady redirected every blow at her and released something more powerful. Each punch and kick just countered with more intense nearly piercing the flesh. Shadow Lady took another stance and unleashed barrage of missiles all aimed directly at Chun Li.
It was not what she had anticipated, but Chun Li had managed to dodge most of the projectiles. However, she did not look up at the falling ruble coming down at her. "You will be reunited with your father in the afterlife." Shadow Lady delivered the finishing blow as Chun Li was rendered useless.
Meanwhile before Spider-Man could unmask himself, he was knocked by a familiar foe. Once again his spider sense was not triggered by this attack. Spider-Man turned around to see Anti-Venom in the flesh once more, looking bigger, dangerous and more vicious.
"Eddie, is this some kind of joke."
"No joke Web-Head, I'm here to have your head on my wall!"
Knowing the strength of Anti-Venom, he was more powerful and fierce then Spider-Man. Spider-Man knew he had to stay on his toes. Even in the wrong hand, Anti-Venom was still a dangerous force. Anti-Venom began attack Spider-Man in savage assault. He was bigger and stronger that even Spider-Man speed wasn't enough. In fact, he caught him before he made his move and Anti-Vemon delivered a series of slashes and punches on the web-head.
"Why are you here Demitri?" Morrigan demanded. "I heard you have some new friends."
"To make you mind succubus, body and soul, so stop resisting and submit." Demitri answered attacking Morrigan with fireball by fireball attack.
Morrigan dodged the attacks with ease. "If you want me that badly, you're going to have to get me. I don't make myself that easy you know."
Morrigan and Demitri fought once again settling their monster feud each other. Demitri licked his lips in anticipation. He was anxious to get a taste of succubus blood. As Demitri continued to attack Morrigan with his sharp vampire claws, he said, "I could care less about the rewards. All I want is to see your graveling on your knees."
"Then you are delusional," Morrigan shot back.
Morrigan take distance away as she spread her wings and launched a barrage of magical missiles at Demitri. Then with stroke, she released shadow blade within the ground. Finally she launched at him with waist blade, hoping to finish off the vampire.
"Come on out Demitri you know you can't hide from me. Your energy is all over the place." Morrigan taunted. Before her final calling, Demitri summoned swam a fire bats, blinding Morrigan. Then when the time was right, he impaled her and sucked her blood.
Morrigan was defenseless and powerless against him now.
As Reed Richards aka Mr. Fantastic continued to work on his lab in the Baxter building for whatever project to experiment on, he received a sudden distress call. The call had also alerted his teammates into action. Susan, Ben and Johnny were already on the scene.
Strangely enough, the call was coming from within the Baxter Building. It came from another world through Reed's test portals. When close to the portal, without warning it sucked the Fantastic Four inside.
Ben inquired, "Hey stretch; is this where the distress call was coming from?"
"Yes. But according to my scanners there is zero activity going on." Mr. Fantastic answered.
Through the baby blue skies and the fluffy clouds, it gave off a weird reading within Reed's scanners. Pretty soon, the Fantastic Four powers had begun to act up. Mr. Fantastic body expanded in multiple levels beyond his control, the Human Touch became hotter than before, the Thing grow more rocks on his body, and the Invisible Women flashed like broken like bub and even blinding her.
The peaceful sky had erased, therefore unwrapping itself. It now turned into a red space. Dupree of towers and castles floated like asteroids through the red space. Thus Mr. Fantastic was able to figure out they were in the Negative Zone, home of the supervillian Annihilus.
"Your fate is seal inside this dimension," Annihilus screeched. "Annihilus will see to it that you will never escape here."
The Fantastic Four were paralyzed by Annihilus's Cosmic Control Rod. The more energy it gave off, the weaker the Fantastic Four become.
On that day, SHIELD Helicarrier was patrolling the skies for any activity as well as the world. Nick Fury, Crimson Viper, Black Window and Maria Hill stood on lookout of any activity going on sky or ground level. No matter what, SHIELD agents were always on guard 24/7.
That wasn't until the Helicarrier was attacked by enemy ships.
"Open fire at whatever hit us. No matter what it takes, take it down at once." Nick exclaimed.
"Who do you think is foolish enough to attack SHIELD?" Maria Hill asked.
"Don't know, but I'm going to find out. Viper, Widow, take some troops and patrol the top level of the ship." Nick ordered.
"Yes sir," both agents replied in unison.
Both of the female agent's eyes shifted from one ship to another. When couple of bombs dropped their way, Viper and Widow used their agility to evade the blows. One ship was blasted from the sky, but the other one came straight at them on full collision after being blasted by the SHIELD torrents.
The enemy ship slipped inside the Helicarrier crashing in for speed ahead until it came to the cockpit. An army of SHIELD agents surrounded the ship ready to fire at any time. However, the enemy ship had plan for this moment. It released an Electric Disruptor, disabling all SHIELD weapons including jets, Man-Droid's armors, pistols and machine guns from an unlimited mile range. The ship released a massive torrent inside taking out every SHEILD agent in its path.
Nick Fury was helpless, and with his men down there wasn't much he could do. Right now, getting the injured out was top priority.
Nick tightened his fist. "Everyone abandon ship at once! Take the injured and get them out of here. I'll make call to the hospital at once!"
As the entire SHIELD agents were evacuated and everything was clear. Vile boarded the ship and became its commander. "Vile to Doom, I've taken control the SHIELD Helicarrier."
"Excellent work, and are the bombs set at the X-Mansion and Avengers Mansion?"
"Yeah, I've seen some troops on that as well as some others. Your plan worked perfectly. The heroes will not stand in our way this time, so you can proceed with the extraction." Vile replied in intercom. "In the meantime, I'll use this for target practice if those humans ever resist."
"Good, I leave it in your hands Vile."
Vile pulled the bomb trigger. And so the heroes fell one by one, neither one was in sight. All it left was Jarvis final report. "Avengers communication signal lost. Baxter Building to Fantastic Four commutation lost in unknown dimension. Access to SHIELD base lost. X-Mansion destroyed by unknown bomb. Contact to other Avengers by ID cards, lost."
