HEEEEEELP! Darius Greg, Meiling Hong, Wario and Waluigi ran for their lives while being chased by a large number of beaver-like creatures. Fortunately for them, Remilia Scarlet and Fujiwara no Mokou arrives in time, and blasted the creatures away to ashes.

Makai, also known as the Ghoul Realm, is a is inhabited by both humans and creatures that would be considered myths. Makai is controlled and ruled primarily by three families: the Aensland house, the Dohma house, and the Bosital house, who are the three high noble families of Makai. Beneath them are seven other families: the Lepe house, Maximoff house, Hartland house, Kreutz house, Drey house, Gilman house and Funechika house.

Makai is connected to the human world through a portal that lies at the peak of an active volcano, Gilala Gila, situated in the middle of the continent. Ancient writings state that Makai was created from a being who appeared where there was nothing, and that every creature in this world are descendants of this first being.

Makai is made up of one central continent known as Matairiku. Matairiku is several hundred times larger than the combined area of Earth's continents. In the middle of the continent, an 8,000 km high mountain range sits with a 3,000 km high waterfall dubbed "Heaven to Hell."

The oceans that surround Matairiku have an immeasurable area. The ocean that lies on the eastern side of the continent is Daimakai, which is a sea of fire that can reach over 10,000 degrees Celsius. The ocean to the west, Daimayou, is opposite of Daimakai and is made up of ice. Where the two oceans meet, there is a gap enclosed by strong winds, lightning and thunder. The outer expanse of the oceans are walls of compressed air, making further travel impossible.

The story stars inside a central hall of the Maximoff Castle and inside, we see a male vampire sitting on his throne.

The male vampire is a tall and muscular man. He has a brown pointy hair and has red eyes. He wears a blue tailcoated jacket over a red muscle shirt with a white scarf, blue tight pants, brown boots and a red & blue cape. This is Demitri Maximoff.

Makai Noble and Vampire

Demitri Maximoff

Demitri grabs a glass of blood wine before drinking, he then lets out a sigh, "It doesn't get more dull than this...'' he muttered.

"Hmm... I suppose we both agree with that.'' a voice spoke.

Demitri sighed once more, "What are you doing here?'' he questioned.

Then a woman steps out from the shadows.

The woman has a slender frame and a large bust. She has a long sea-green hair and has blue-green eyes. She wears a sleeveless black bustier-like top adorned with white feathers and a small heart cut out of the midriff; purple nylons emblazoned with bat patterns; black boots; and conspicuous batlike wings protruding from her back and the sides of her head. This is Morrigan Aensland.

Makai Noble and Succubus

Morrigan Aensland

Morrigan giggled, "What a sour greeting?'' she mused, "Especially to a lady that's in your bedchamber.'' she pointed out, "I should expect better from a gentleman like you.'' she stated.

"Your here to settle our duel, I presume?'' Demitri concluded.

"Did I?" Morrigan chuckled.

Demitri grinned evilly, "Well then, Lord Aensland, come forth and fight me for the title of the 'Strongest in the Infernal World'!" he declared.

Morrigan sighed and crossed her arms, "Why do I even bother...'' she muttered.

Demitri's grin fell, "Hmm?'' he hummed in confusion.

"I'm the type of girl who wants to have fun.'' Morrigan claimed, "Either that or die of boredom.'' she stated, "Besides... you don't arouse me at all when you're like this.'' she admitted, "No fun at all.'' she whined.

Demitri sighed, "Would you please stop that?" he muttered in annoyance.

"Anyway... I didn't come here to fight you but to at least inform of you that Makai got itself some pretty interesting visitors.'' Morrigan revealed.

"Visitors?" Demitri questioned.

"They're quite an interesting group.'' Morrigan admitted, "I don't know why they're here but I had a feeling that they're looking for something.'' she stated.

Demitri thought about it, "Hmm... I see.'' he muttered, "Well then... lets set aside our rivalry for now and greet these visitors with open arms.'' he suggested with an evil grin.

Morrigan chuckled, "Gladly.'' she accepted.

Meanwhile in a graveyard somewhere in Makai, we see a group of Black Order soldiers walking around, scouting the area with their weapons up for any sort of hostile.

Suddenly, the soldiers stopped on their tracks when they felt a cold sense tingling deep in their spines, one of them is even shivering in fright.

And without warning, Demitri and Morrigan appears before them, much to their shock. And out of fright, the soldiers pointed their weapons at the two, only for their weapons to die before them by wilting like a certain plant.

"Oho~ Seems like our presence caught them by surprise.'' Morrigan mused.

Demitri scoffed, "More like we struck fear into their hearts but that's to be expected.'' he said before looming over the soldiers, "Now... I must question you mongrels of your presence in this realm.'' he begun, "What brings all of you here?'' he demanded.

Because of this, all of the soldiers began to shiver in fright while whispering and arguing to each other of whom to answer.

"Hey, what's the hold up boys?'' a voice questioned.

Everyone then turns around to see Thomas Camp strutting towards them, head swaying from left to right while dragging his crutch from behind, leaving trails on the ground. Upon seeing their leader, the soldiers responded by pointing their fingers at Demitri and Morrigan.

Thomas snorted, "I see.'' he mused.

Demitri crosses his arms, "And who are you?'' he demanded.

Thomas shook his head, "Thomas Camp.'' he replied, "Leader of these chums.'' he added while waving a finger at the Black Order Soldiers, "What about it?'' he asked.

Morrigan chuckled, "Ain't he a charming fellow.'' she commented before taking notice the Infinity Gauntlet on Thomas' right hand, "Wait a minute... isn't that the Infinity Gauntlet?'' she pointed out.

Demitri's face furrowed upon taking notice of the item as well, "Indeed.'' he confirmed, "But from I remember... that thing is in he possession of the Mad Titan.'' he recalled.

Morrigan's eyes then widen in realization, "Wait... could it be... that they're here for the Soul Gem?!" she concluded in shock.

Upon hearing that, Thomas' face lighten up, "Oh! So you bozos knows where the Soul Gem!" he cheered, "Alright... save me the trouble and hand me the Soul Gem, I'm gonna need it for little project.'' he demanded.

Demitri glares at him, "And what for do you need with the Soul Gem?'' he demanded.

Thomas rolled his eyes, "Look... what I do with the stone is none of your business.'' he replied, "Now give me the stone and no one gets hurt.'' he demanded with a smile.

Morrigan got into a fighting stance, "You will not lay a hand on the Soul Gem!" she declared.

Demitri's eyes began to glow before smiling evilly, "I suggest you leave this realm or I'll make you suffer the consequences.'' he declared.

Thomas sighed, "Hard way it is.'' he muttered while rubbing the back of his head, "Boys.'' he ordered.

The Black Order Soldiers nodded rapidly in reply before zooming away from the sight, leaving smoke-shapes of themselves behind.

"Are you going to fight us alone?'' Morrigan questioned in disbelief.

Thomas shrugged his shoulders, "I can manage.'' he replied.

Thomas then stomps the ground hard as large spiky rocks sprouts from the ground but Demitri and Morrigan quickly evaded it, the vampire and the succubus began to circle around Thomas, Demitri ignited his left hand with flames while Morrigan turns one of her wings into a blade, the two charges towards Thomas.

The absolute scoundrel smirked evilly, spinning his crutch before charging back.

And with that, three attacks clashed altogether.

Bzzzttt...

Meanwhile in a red planet somewhere in the multiverse, we see a strange man sitting on a rock in a meditating position, his eyes are closed and seems to be in deep thoughts.

The strange man has a blue skin tone. He is very tall, has a muscular and tone frame, he has a balding head and a circle drawn on his forehead. He is naked and the only thing he is wearing is a black speedo. This is Dr. Jon Osterman, also known as, Dr. Manhattan.

Cosmic Being

Dr. Jon "Dr. Manhattan" Osterman

Dr. Manhattan hummed, "I see.'' he muttered, "So, that's what's going on right now.'' he concluded, "I do hope that they resolve this problem soon or else I'll have to step in again and fix things.'' he stated. He then open his eyes, revealing it to be white as sheet, "Humans are such complex beings, some mortals seeks for peace while others prefer destruction, some humans seeks power to protect while others seeks power for their own greed, no matter how many centuries has passed humans can't still decided for one thing. At the very end... whatever choices they made, conflicts are inevitable, death is certain and peace yet to be accomplish.'' he stated, "Regardless how complex humans are, they remain interesting on their own right.'' he mused.

"I totally agree with you, Dr. Manhattan.'' a voice said in agreement.

Dr. Manhattan then turns around to see a young-looking female skipping her way towards him.

The young-looking female has petite frame and a flat chest, and has a chalk-white skin tone. She has as short & messy light-purple hair with a cowlick on top of her head and pink eyes with heart-shaped irises. She wears a teal-colored sleeveless cardigan over a black crop top, blue denim shorts over red tights. She wears purple boots and black arm-length fingerless gloves, she wears a pair of golden-colored circlets on her arms and has an orange detached wings on each side. She also wears a cat-like purple headphone on top of her head. This is Dyosa, a Cosmic Being simply known as the Maidens.

Maidens

Dyosa

"Ya-ho~ It's been a while Dr. Manhattan!" Dyosa greeted cheerfully.

Dr. Manhattan nodded, "A pleasure to see you as well, young maiden.'' he greeted back with a smile, "What are you doing here?'' he questioned.

Dyosa shrugged her shoulders, "I just want to chat, nothing much to it.'' she replied, "Anyway... have you heard about the large blue hand that has been grabbing and dropping off people into other worlds?'' she asked, "Many people claim that the blue hand belongs to you.'' she stated.

"I will not confirm nor deny that.'' Dr. Manhattan replied.

Dyosa chuckled, "I knew you would.'' she mused, "Anyway, I want to tell you that the maidens and I are going to make our move.'' she declared.

"I see.'' Dr. Manhattan muttered, "I guess you maidens got inspired of what the other divine and cosmic beings have been doing lately.'' he pointed out.

"Yup!" Dyosa chirped, "The Power Granter are giving powers to those who are no the verge of death and the Special Star is travelling across the multiverse to find somebody worthy of power.'' she stated, "And with everything going on lately, the maidens and I decided to lend our help by blessing certain people of our choice with powers and we'll call them, Blesseds!" she explained.

"I believed that someone has already coined that term.'' Dr. Manhattan pointed out.

Dyosa chuckled, "I'm aware.'' she admitted, "But these Blesseds will be different.'' she declared before pulling out a tablet, opening a social media site and began to browse some profile, "Now... I had to be careful of which person I'll bestow some powers upon.'' she stated.

"You're going to use that thing to create a Blessed?'' Dr. Manhattan questioned.

Dyosa giggled, "Yup!" she confirmed, "Now then...'' she muttered as she kept browsing each pages, "Hmm... this one nice but I can't be too sure...'' she muttered with a thoughtful expression.

"You maidens sure do things differently compared to the other divine beings.'' Dr. Manhattan commented.

"Well, we managed to adapt with time.'' Dyosa explained before landing on a certain page, "Aha! This kid will be the first one to be blessed with powers!" she declared, "I hope he likes it!" she cheered.

The page she is looking at... is none other than Lincoln Loud.

Bzzzttt...

Back in the graveyard somewhere in the Makai Realm, the entire place is completely destroyed with various debris scattered everywhere. Then a yellow-colored portal appears out of thin air and out came Doctor Strange.

Doctor Strange then looks around the place, "By the Vishanti... I'm too late.'' he muttered in disbelief.

"Indeed you are.'' a voice replied.

Doctor Strange turns around and saw Demitri floating towards him while carrying an unconscious Morrigan. Demitri is all beaten up, half of his attire is torn off with dripping down his face, Morrigan also suffered the same fate as him.

"What happened?'' Doctor Strange asked.

Demitri frowned, "That man... he got the Soul Gem.'' he replied.
