Chapter 27 - Nights of Mayhem

(General POV)

Location the New Earth: New Mexico; Vista Verde

Nomu King was driving Hulk and Red Hulk across the New Mexico town, the two hulks grunting slightly after every wall, car, and other things that they were smashed through by this bird-head hulk.

Then roaring Nomu King, he spun and threw the two hulks into two different directions, roaring and telling in a broken speech at the minions to destroy everything and find the "Flash man", Browns armed with various weapons, and scrap for armor, crushing and smashing everything with a big smile on their faces, and cheering in fun joy.

The Reds lobbing fireballs, everywhere igniting the buildings of Vista Verde, while the still undiscovered Greens were keeping to the shadows, jumping and stabbing all the running people of Vista Verde, then Hulk returned performing a leaping smash, blasting away some minions, locking to Nomu King.

Roaring at the prime nomu, and yelling, "I'm gonna smash you!! Come on bird-face!!!" stomping forwards, with Nomu King, responding in kind and the rematch of Bludhaven has started, throwing massive fists onto one another.

While Hulk tries to overpower and smash like he usually does against any monster, or hulk-type enemies, Nomu King, he was ignoring all the blows of the Hulk, with his Shock Absorption quirk, working utterly against the Hulk, and his blows weren't doing much to the first Infernal Lord, when suddenly Nomu King was blasted by Red Hulk's blasters.

Burning and launching the prime nomu flying from the blast, from Red Hulk's twin firearms, laughing as he taunted Hulk, "Hehe. See red beat green everyday." only for a car to smash onto Red, both hitting and exploding upon impact with Ross, making him grunt loudly in discomfort, as Hulk forgot to tell Red, that Nomu King regenerate like Wolverine.

Already the wounds that Red Hulk delivered to Nomu King, were completely healed and said Infernal Lord was very mad.

This wasn't looking good, unless they can take down Nomu King quick, he and those gremlins will destroy Vista Verde completely, but to really cause harm to the Infernal Lord, Hulk and Red had to do something that they didn't want to do.

They have to fully let their rage, and the monsters out, which will cause much more damage, than good especially since it was obvious to the Big Green Machine, that Nomu King was sent here to look for Flash Thompson...or to keep one of the Avengers big guns, occupied...little did Hulk know, he was wrong partly.

Mao sent Nomu King to rampage and enjoy himself, while another Infernal Lord, was also wrecking havoc across the globe at the same time...

Location the Third Sorcerer Sanctum, Hong Kong; China

Kefka Palazzo, the Laughing Destroyer has popped up in Hong Kong, immediately when the chinese saw the patworked wearing, blond haired, clown, they started panicking and running away, as Kefka smile and started his reign of destruction.

Snapping his fingers, then pointing his index fingers forward, throwing a violet, lavender, velvet color sparkle of colors, when they exploded in a massive spell of destruction, unleashing his [Ultima] spell like crazy.

All the block was being devastated, by magical devastation of Kefka, with the Hong Kong Sanctum Sanctorum being a three-story, Victorian-style brownstone with a Mansard roof, built in the French Baroque style building, that looks completely out of place if not for the special spells woven onto the building, making only the more magical attuned and those permitted are able to notice the building.

Which just gotta blasted by a wild soaring, [Firaga] spell fired by Kefka, hitting a golden magical barrier, as sorcerers in reddish and blackish robes like that worn by monks, started to emerge from not only the Sanctum, and from yellow-orange portal, opened by Sling Rings.

More than dozens sorcerers of the mystic arts, came to not only defend the area around the Third Sanctum, but stop the magical, insane clown.

After a nearly three months of the creation of the New Earth, all sorcerers have been trying to handle the surge of magical forces, aside their usual fountain of energies like Cyttorak, or Dark or Chaos Dimensions, which should be impossible, especially with Kefka possessing a unique force of magic, that shatters all established laws and rules that sorcerers, warlocks, witches, and wizards.

No one can explain this only these Cores of Reality, have not only sever these realms of magical energies, and replaced them.

And right now these sorcerers, with eldritch glyphs over their wrists, stood strong against Kefka, who was standing there...unimpressed by the weak magic castors, standing in front of him, as he spoke in high-pitched voice, "This is going to be fun. I hope you all last longer, then these little ants scurrying around this place." as he started to laugh, in a unnerving way, "The young master said to find that Flash guy. But...he didn't tell not to have fun!!! Destroy, destroy, destroy. Let's destroy everything!!!" with a swipe of his hand, a massive glaciar crystal appeared in front of Kefka, and saying repeatedly "come on" as it blasted apart, like a shotgun spread.

Many fast reacting sorcerers, conjured a shield to protect themselves, as a wide-spread blast of magical ice spell, impacting against their shields, but those too slow were impaled with ice blasts.

Making Kefka happy, and chuckling, as he took a thinker like pose, and unleashed a powerful chaos spell, rain of static sphere of destructive energy balls, started to track and rain hell, as this is Kefka's [Forsaken Null] spell.

Unfamiliar with this vile spell, everything was bombarded by Kefka's chaotic magic, causing utter destruction and huge explosions on everything struck.

The young and old sorcerers, started forming magical circle, to cast various spells to attack Kefka, and defend the Third Sanctum, but they'd underestimate the power and madness of the fifth Infernal Lord, and infamous Destroyer of Bludhaven.

As his [Forsaken Null] was still raining literal Hell, Kefka, he also cast [Thundraga] as fast lightning bolt, danced and moved frantically across the Chinese state, fire, explosions, screaming, rubble, and much more spread across the Hong Kong streets, some bolts even struck through the barrier spells of the Third Sanctum, and hit the Victorian-style building.

All the energy blasts, whips, transparent shards, fireballs, and many more spells shot at Kefka, were blocked and destroyed by Kefka's magical rampage.

Seeing the people panic, scream, and due, made Kefka laugh in joy...but he got bored, and decided to shake things up, spamming [Ultima] allover the place again, destroy vehicles, buildings, and people, flying up to the setting day sky, and in a cross-legged floating position, as he'd pretended to use his magic to check the city.

Shrugging and sighing acting like he hasn't found Flash Thompson, soo snapped his fingers, unleashing a torrent of [Trine] spells, as the trio of closing-in mirror shard, slice through everything, as the sorcerers alongside a higher ranking looking one in Kefka's eyes, he'd guessed it must be this Wong, that the Young Master, told him about.

Wong, looked like this Benedict Wong, that Mao told him about, dress in darker shades of reddish-brown robes, not only using his magic to aid the young and veteran practitioners of the mystic arts, but lead in the protection of the city, its people, and the Sanctorum as well.

They actually open a rift into the Mirror Dimension, and Kefka was unamused, nothing destroyed or broken in this dimension was actually destroyed, just fragment of 4-5D space, he was glad that Mao told him about this reflected space, as everything was mirrored and molded in reflection around Kefka, and the sorcerers, finally believing that they have the advantage over the Laughing Destroyer, started to leap over to him.

But Kefka lost all interest, these guys made something enjoyable into something utterly boring.

He sighed looked at one of the younger sorcerer, a blonde hair girl using a train to rush over to his floating position, and with a wicket smile Kefka moved.

Blasting down at his target, the girl saw Kefka dodging all blasts of golden energy, as Kefka tossed a arrow-tip [Fira] at her, causing a fiery burst that launched the girl into the reflective abyss below, laughing as he chased after the flailing and screaming girl.

She tried to active her Sling Ring, only as the sparks of magic were starting to form a portal, Kefka grabbed her hand, and said, "Ohhh neat little thing. Can I have it?" using his other hand to silence and forcibly make the girl nod, as Kefka continued "Really? Thank you, sweet girl. Enjoy the fall now." removing her Sling Ring, and letting her fall, waving goodbye to her.

As he looked at the Sling Ring, as something that might be useful for his experiments, as black fog started to form around him, which shock Wong and the other sorcerers, believing that without the right spells, nothing should be able to penetrate through the Mirror Dimension, as Kefka wave goodbye with a big smile, and all the sorcerers blasted a spell at him.

Missing as the fourth Infernal Lord, disappeared in a whisp, eerie black fog, groaning Wong spun his hand, and opened a portal for the poor girl, that Kefka left to fall to her eternal doom, Wong needed to warn the Sorcerer Supreme, Doctor Strange of the greater threat that is Kefka, and Forsaken are to the New Earth.

And these Cores might be more important for the sorcerers to search for, and secure.

Location New Jersey; Jersey City

A diverse urban city in New Jersey, part of the New York City metropolitan region located on the Hudson River waterfront.

It was nighttime, much chaos and destruction caused all around the globe, in the hands of the Forsaken, a vast amount of black fog was spreading across the city.

The people of Jersey City, were completely unaware of the growing danger, as it was finally time for the Jersey City massive attack and for the Malefactors and the soo mysterious third Infernal Lord will be reveal...partly.

Just at the shore edge of the Hudson River, a huge mass of black fog converted and form a rift for the Forsaken to emerge, as the pale white, decapitated but still locked heads of Slayers started to "walk" out with blades for feet and arms, then several dirty gunny sack bound, and chained Burrowers emerge from underneath the earth, a lot more in number than previous invasions.

Next were the hulking monsters of the Marksmen, riddled in bullet holes, blindfolded, and having a growth on their back with several riffles at the ready, and those last to emerge from the black fog are the Triggermen a multi-legged, and gun tipped creatures, those legs are connected to a corpse like main bodies, with their heads mostly blown off.

As Blackmore was the last to emerge from the black fog, transformed in his Creature form, it is completely inhuman, with an insectoid and skinny appearance, spikes on his head, shoulders and thighs, seemingly with a complete loss of all human traits.

Huge in statute, with a reddish tint allover the body, his left hand is a razor sharp claw, and the blade on its right arm is permanently blood-stained & jagged this creature moves more erratically and grunts the most when moving.

He roared like a great, horrific beast, stomping forward being followed by slayers, triggermen, and marksmen, while the burrowers, went back underground and tunnel behind the Infernal Lord, Blackmore in his monstrous form.

It didn't take a lot of time, as some bystander and civilians in the nearby area were attacked, a slayer stabbing a man wearing a benny a lift him up, like a bleeding pig, burrowers emerge from underground and struck hook tipped chains, tearing apart flesh.

Both Marksmen and Triggermen started unleashing a bulletstorm, shredding all in their sight, as Blackmore leaped into a crowd that hadn't been attacked by the other Malefactors yet, in a frenzy of claw and blade swipes, he butchered these people, blood and gore spraying on the Malefactor of Evil.

Roaring again as the people screamed and ran away, as it was clear the Forsaken have come to Jersey City, immediately some of the people tried to call the League or Avengers to come and protect them and their home.

As Blackmore lead the legion of Forsaken malefactors, directly into the city, destroying everything in their path, and also killing everyone in their sight, it was a utterly slaughter, even the Carnate and Baltimore incidents back in Blackmore's previous world, weren't comparable to this attack.

Location the SHIELD Helicarrier, Main Deck

SHIELD was immediately alerted by the flood of calls, about a massive attack from the Forsaken, they immediately contacted the Avengers, and the Defenders which were closest to the invasion site, but this attack seems different the rest.

Fury watched from his spot in the deck, the current feed of the horrible kills happening on the city, but unlike other times, that they did cause major damage, like Vista Verde, Gotham, many more other spots, live feed showed these creatures that the Forsaken have let loose on Jersey City, they're literal nightmare fuel, lead by a unknown monster, a creature of pure violent and bloodshed, but seems to have some twisted, sadistic thrill of killing, targeting those cowarding, or running from it.

Fury, watched this reddish creature, terrorize the populace of the Jersey City, ignoring those that were on it's grasp for tearing apart the ones that show it fear, or ran away from it.

Even conjuring multiple, razor sharp blades from the ground, impaling all that fled from it, and the other creatures...but this monster made sure to avoid vital spots, causing unbelievable pain, and leaving to bleed.

Fury, he suspects that this monster might be the elusive third Infernal Lord that they'd never seen, up until now, and it seems that Mao is worried about accidently killing Flash Thompson this time, seems this creature is more for total destruction, and murder.

He was still fighting and trying to negotiate the release of the Marker, into SHIELD custody with the League, and it seems that Fury fears were finally coming true, he'd wanted to push Flash go awaken and reveal the locations of the Cores, and eliminate the Forsaken...before they do this.

Go utterly pure destruction, only sick amusement, but that was for another time, they must stop this attack, Hulk and Red Hulk barely able to survive the Vista Verde attack, as the Forsaken were tearing through Jersey City...
