Chapter 41 - The Cores of Reality 2: Nature's Heart

(General POV)

Location the New Earth: Overview

Poison Ivy, Livewire, Storm, and Mera's all were in comatosed state, with Storm being cared for by her teammates underneath the X Manor, while the rest of these women were relocated into Star Labs in Star City.

Because the League and X-men acted quickly, the surge of strange phenomenon on nature and weather, has lessen, but still the chaos happening and increasing allover the world, was dragging the heroes ragged.

Superman, Shazam, Aquaman, Captain Marvel, Falcon, Thor, and many, many more heroes have been working nonstop, to stop floods, rogue waves, earthquakes, landslides, and much worse.

Not only the League, and X-men were desperate for answers, the Avengers were also trying to uncover what is happening on the planet.

In his private lab, in the Avenger Tower, Tony, Bruce Banner, and a few of their friends have been pulling their resources to try, figure out this problem.

That's when yellow and orange colored, magical glyph was forming in the air, behind the two Avengers, coming out the glyph turned to a arcane rift came a familiar figure.

A old friend, well fit man, finely styled and cut white and black hair, with a thin lock beard, that has the most amount of hair on the chin, he is in a blue monk robes, with a red and yellow accented cape held by a powerful magical artifact, called the Eye of Agamotto, leather straps on his long sleeves wrist, a leather band on his waist, long indigo colored robe pants and similar colored boots with leather straps tied on them.

It's Doctor Steven Strange or as many call him Dr. Strange the Sorcerer Supreme, master of the mystic arts, and the chosen leader of a special group called the Midnight Suns, that they were also investigating what's happening on their world.

Dr. Strange, suggested to Banner and Tony, to work together to solve this problem and handle whatever is the source of this catastrophe.

Many, many geniuses of both science and magical arts, have been desperately trying to explain these calamities.

But then another event occurred...in the League's private holding facility, the same one that holds the comatosed, Flash Thompson, his arms strapped with IVs, and bands registering his vitals, and more.

When the monitor, beside his medical bed, started sparking in speed and intensity.

His marking and runes allover of his body, started glowing in a emerald greeen color, as he'd opened his eyes, and in a burst of green light Flash banished, as the sleek, futuristic medical-observation room, was engulfed in a blinking red light.

A alarm sounding off, sending a alert to all the League members, that the Marker, Flash Thompson was gone.

Batman, was the first to receive the alert, and he'd immediately rushed to the Batcave's Batcomputer to access the video feed, that was placed around the Marker's containment room.

Nearly over two months of absolutely no response or answer, from all the tests and observations done on Flash Thompson, and as soon as both Mao said basically that, "his search for the Cores, was too late", and all these unexplained weather and natural...or better said supernatural catastrophe.

With Batman, now checking all surveillance feed on Flash Thompson, when Dick contacted him, Bruce responded, "Nightwing, what is it? There something of out-most importance. The Marker is gone." Nightwing, he went silent for a moment before responding to Batman, "Ummm...speaking of the Marker, Bruce. Turn on the news...now!!" with the seriousness on his protégé's voice.

Batman, typed some keyboard bringing up the news feed on the Batcomputer, and the main Gotham Tonight channel, they started reporting of a strange marked man, floating over the ports of Central City, Flash's terf.

Many cameras capturing the feed of Flash Thompson, floating over the ocean, glowing in a emerald color.

Immediately Batman, contacted Barry not only cause its his city, but his powers would make it easy for the speedster to retrieve or intervene with whatever is about to happen...

Location Central City, West Beach/Port

Barry aka the Flash, in his red and yellow super-suit, was flashing through the streets of the Central City.

A yellow streak of electricity, following after every step of the Flash, as he was heading towards the west ports of his city, since Batman called him to check out on Thompson, that somehow escape their facility, and was now in Central City.

As Flash, easy moved around all cars, obstacles, and people while blasting towards his destination, he noticed that ARGUS has sent agents into the city.

Spotting their vehicles, and personale while running, through the city, as the buildings and skyscrapers turned smaller, and more factory like.

Even passing by a fish factory, entering the port boardwalks, until the Flash skidded to the stop at the shore of the beach, he saw Thompson the Marker of the Core, floating over the waters, quite away from the shore, and several news helicopters flying around the area.

Flash, he was about to run across the water and take Thompson, before something happens, but just when he was about to move, a blast of intense wind, blew Barry back, as he was thrown across the beach sand.

The water below Thompson, started to spin and form into a ever-expanding, and powerful whirlpool, stormcloud began to form and gather around the entire area.

Strong rain, wind, and thunder was occuring, algy and seaweed surge in growth, reaching the surface from the depths of the Ocean, the Flash now back on his feet, he saw as literal nature was bending around Thompson.

Honestly, it remind him of his encounters with Weather Wizard, then the multiple black, government style SUVs parked at the boardwalk of the beach, amred men and women in black gear, came out these vehicles.

ARGUS has arrived, under order of Amanda Waller to retrieve Flash Thompson, before the League or any other organization could do so.

As the Flash, he was about to blur forward again, aiming to do as Batman requested of him, a another wave of force, only this time only Flash was able to remain on his feet, as a bright, neon green light burst fort from the Marker, Flash Thompson.

Affecting those closest linked to nature itself, such as Fire, Killer Frost, Storm, Livewire, Poison Ivy, and many many more.

In the medical room, made for Livewire, Mera, and Livewire all three women, and many others across the world, all started glowing in emerald green light, and speaking in harmoniously as one, all able to listen the message of the Core, through out the world, the Avengers, the Justice League, the Midnight Suns, the Titans, the X-men and Young Justice, along with the rising Legion of Luthor, HYDRA, and other forces were listening the message, with at most interested attention.

The message is, "I AM NATURE'S HEART. FIRST OF THE CORES OF REALITY. I'VE BEEN AWAKEN BY THE PAIN OF THIS WORLD. POLLUTION. GLOBAL WARMING. DEFORESTATION. OTHER ATROCITIES DONE. THAT I CAN'T IGNORE. THE PAIN...PLEASE STOP. FIND ME. BECOME THE RULER, SOLE GUARDIAN AND MASTER OF NATURE. AIR. WATER. LIGHTNING. FLORA. FIRE. EARTH. ICE. LIFE. SHALL BE YOU'RE IF THE WORTHY FIND ME. I'VE ALREADY STARTED CORRECTING THIS WORLD'S DAMAGE. BUT I'M LOST. GUIDE ME. USE ME. I AM IN THE PATH OF GREATEST UNBOUND AND PUREST LIFE RESIDE... FOLLOW THE MARKERS THAT REPRESENT THIS WORLD'S NATURE..." once the key to finding this core.

Nature's Heart was delivered, all that were speaking for the Core, fainted and Flash Thompson, banished in a flash of emerald light.

Leaving the Flash and the ARGUS agents baffled, as the hunt for the Cores of Reality, has officially begun...

Location the Void of the Forsaken, Castle Nightscream; Throne Chamber

Mao, Vector, Lilithmon, Cyn, Jinx, and Shego were in their throne chamber, as Mao just commanded the first core to awaken and call upon all the heroes and villains of both Marvel and DC to chase after it.

This will cause unbelievable anarchy, across the world, Cyn, Vector, and Jinx were having a blast, while Shego was more calm, and Lilithmon was her usual elegant, and reserved self.

With all of this happening, Hell's Kitchen will be much more open for Blackmore and Doflamingo to fully sink their fangs into that sector, without any possibility for the Defenders or Kingpin to remove them.

But most importantly, as Mao planned to have his brides, be the main source of chaos and bloodshed in this little game, that he has the heroes and villains running around in.

The message was meant to be vedge, just for him to mess around the mind of the soo called geniuses of Comic Books, but using the Nature's Heart power over nature, Mao, he targeted all the most elemental based characters.

Either personally or someone close, like Aquaman's wife in his case, Mao couldn't help but laugh, as whoever get this core, will become a slave to the planet, feeling everything negative happening to it.

Hence why the Lord of the Forsaken, made the Core, forcibly correct all the things wrong in the environment, and then give a sob story, that it didn't understand alone, as he'd gave everyone the impression that the Cores, craved to be used and dominated.

Unlike the Infinity Stones, that twist desires, and annihilate the weak that wield them...except on Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3, that somehow base-classic Green Goblin could not only hold, but wield the Time Stone, and Magneto didn't immediately die after using the Power Stone is...just bullshit.

Except for Vision, Singularity, Silver Surfer, and maybe Captain Marvel, there shouldn't be anyone in Marvel's roster, that can directly wield the Infinity Stones, unless their cosmic level.

Or some plotline shit, some writer thought it be cool for that storyline.

Regardless the first on this spot on this wild goose chase, that he'll have the League and Avenger, as well many other go to is a place that represent fire...letting Jinx and Shego have fun for whoever shows up.

Then ice, water, lightning, plant, earth, and so on which will force the heroes to fight various of his eager wives, and all leading up to Vector's grand debut and havoc across the world, of course apart from maiming and killing, they'll let whoever gets the Core live, and grant the win to gets it.

But in the end it'll be pure mayhem, and brutality, as Cyn, and Jix wrapped themselves around Mao, clearly the most eager to start causing absolute mayhem on the New Earth again, and truthfully he'd understood.

It been a month, soaking up all the suffering and negative emotions of those affected by Iceman's death, but even he was getting eager to steer thing up.

Summoning his Blue Rose into his hand, he took aim at a brown minion swinging around a black candelabra, a with a quick pull of the trigger, and a purple energy bullet, blasting the candelabra.

Shocking the minions, around the brown that lost his "treasha", then they'd started laughing and cheering, those lovable walking twisters of chaos, Jinx, she'd laughed and complimented him on his awesome shot.

Spinning the large revolver, between his clawed fingers, letting a chuckle Mao really needed to kill something, and this latest surge of chaos will allow not only him, the girls, and the Infernal Lords, scratch the itch of having fun through havoc.

With this, Mao gently pried off Cyn and Jinx from himself, got off his throne, walking forwards a bit, still twirling around his Blue Rose, as he'd walked around he heard the girls shift from their own thrones, and walk over to him.

Mao started thinking it was time to expand the legion of monsters in the Forsaken, and maybe include some diversity in his Infernal Lords.

Since for eight summons, he'd only summoned males into those rank, as Cyn humming got his attention, she started walking over to his side, and said her cute, creepy girly voice, "Mao, sweetie. What's wrong? You've should be happy, we get to have soo much fun, soon!!" then Jinx shined in.

Jumping onto Mao's back, with a big, happy but crazy looking smile on her face, as she said, "Yeah!! We're gonna tear things up!! Blow up, everything!!! Make everyone cry, and run!!! We should be having a banger, so what's go you in a funk, babe?"

Shego, was the next one to speak, as Vector and Lilithmon were enjoying the scene playing out in front of them.

She said in her snarky, but honestly hot voice and tone, "Hey let the man think, girls. We got all the time to take what we want, and more. Let's just enjoy, the rare moment of no stupid hero, ruining our afternoon." as she'd sounded a bit exasperated, which Mao understood.

Years of being one of the top villains, in her world, until a teen...a teen cheerleader, beat her over and over with a comedy relief of a partner, Mao, he bets that Shego was enjoying being a queen, and having soo much power in many ways.

Mao waved at Shego to come over to him, a bit confused at first, before smirking and strutting over Shego was meet with a steamy, deep, hot kiss.

Shocked at first, but then Shego really got into it, and wrapped her arms and one leg over her man, as her sister-wives, cheered for them.

A couple minutes later, they parted their kiss, as Mao told her relax and enjoy herself, since soon she'll be able to crush and kill people that would put Kim Possible to shame.

This excited Shego, as she'd snuggled up to him, they started talking about some of their upcoming plans for the horrors that are coming, in this the first hunt of ten.

And with each, that Mao triggers more and more chaos, entertainment, and reward points will be piling up, knowing the League, Avengers, HYDRA, Luthor, and many other characters, they'll eventually trigger something of all-out war, just like Civil War or Injustice.

If that ever happens, the Forsaken will be more than happy to join in on all the fun as well, soon he'll summon some more creatures for the Forsaken, and also a brand new Infernal Lord that can backup, many of the others.

Being both a test if he can summon, NC-AU characters, and also if it succeed, he'll have a deal monster on his command, that is practically indestructible, a walking nightmare, and infector...if she's not eating her victims, or servents.

Regardless what's to come for the Nature's Heart hunt, is going to be...sweet.
