Chapter 30 - Hell's Kitchen 2: Fighting Back

(General POV)

Location the New Earth: Manhattan; New York, Hell's Kitchen-Battleground

As Blackmore was facing off with Iron Fist and Hellcat in one part of the city, Luke Cage tore the rifle-mass off a marksman killing it a gorery fashion, he was the current the largest threat of the Defenders, despite Iceman's power, he could still be harmed and even killed by either Blackmore or Golem.

Speaking of the eight Infernal Lord, as Power Man was crushing slayers, maulers, and some burrowers which their hooked chains, did nothing to man, Luke Cage, he was getting cocky, when bursting through a small department store, came Golem yelling, surging with purple electricity through his form.

Hitting the surprise musclebound Power Man, with a supercharged [Shock Charge] hitting a fully surprise Power Man, shocking and impacting against the body of the Defender, smashing Luke Cage, through another building.

Golem panting and grunting, as he walked over at slowly getting up, Power Man, as Golem said, "Me kill You." once again surging with his magical electricity through Golem, his right clawed-hand reaching down at downed Power Man.

Once his claws, curled around the back of Luke Cage's neck, badly shocking him, as Power Man hissed in pain, trying to pry the claws from around his neck, Golem roared as he jumped and lifted Luke Cage over his head and smash him down onto the concrete floor, hitting Luke Cage, as the electric explosion of the [Shock Slam] hit Power Man with powerful attack.

Luke Cage, he grunted in pain, few people can manhandle him in such a way, as Golem stomp hard against the back of Luke Cage making him grunt again from the impact.

While his skin wasn't affect, from physical blows, the sometime electricity coated attacks were causing Power Man pain and worse damage.

Before he could properly react, and get up, Golem was pounding his fists onto his back, every blow burying him deeper into the concrete floor, he was stuck in, then he felt actual pain and a slight scrape on his back.

As Golem's special claws, coated with purple electricity to cut the back lightly on the surface of Power Man's back, as Golem's claws barely damaged his target, Power Man immediately reacted.

Digging his hands, into the concrete slab in front of his hole, and grabbing it, and with his superstrength lifting over his head, and smash the concrete slab onto Golem's body, making the Artificial Giant grunt in slight pain and annoyance, pushed back by the unexpected blow.

As Luke Cage got back up, a long forgotten sensation of unease, as few people in this world...new or old...could ever be a threat to him, and this Frankenstein looking motherfucker, is a big threat to him, not only bypassing his invulnerability in several ways, but if he wasn't careful, those claws might actually kill him.

Golem screamed in anger, as he said, "Me not made to lose!! Me crush You!!" Luke Cage chuckled, wiped his nose of the dust, and responded, "Bring it on asshole!!" getting in a boxing like stance.

Golem yelled as he stomped forwards, swinging a heavy right straight, and Power Man, countered it with a powerful left curve punch, causing a shockwave from their powerful impact.

Shaking the building, which looks to be a private parking garage, back to Blackmore, as his conjured burrower chains, were torn off Iron Fist, and he'd tried to impale the Dragon of K'un-Lun, Hellcat delivered a flying right kick at the Malefactor of Evil.

Pushing him back, as she'd said to Iron Fist, "Now we're even Fist." Danny chuckled, as he'd responded back to her, "Yes. Yes we are. Now let's take out this monster." Blackmore roared loudly, before stabbing his blade onto the oil stained floor, conjuring multiple slayer blades around the two Defenders.

They barely avoided getting impale and cut apart, with Hellcat using her unnatural flexibility and reflexes to avoid the blades, and Iron Fist just leaping away, as they were airborne still, Blackmore attacked using two [Malefactor Conjuring] at a time, the Isolationist electrical surge and burrower hooked chains, all coming from the ground.

Hellcat not wanting to be hooked and slashed again, evaded and dodged all the chains, but the moment her feet touched the ground, she was being electrocuted, Iron Fist managed to avoid getting damage by leaping off the chains, and sending himself outside the range of the attack.

When suddenly a black ball with blipping red light, soared in the air, heading straight at Blackmore, it didn't take a genius to know that thing was a explosive, smashing his claw creating a shockwave that trigger the explosion, before the blast could hit him in full force.

But the smoke, obstructed everything letting Hellcat to fight through the burning pain from being electrocuted, just a couple moments ago.

Rushing out the building, panting a bit as she stood beside Iron Fist, looking back into the smoke covered area, as another figure joined the two Defenders, it was the Winter Soldier, meaning that their backup has finally come.

As Blackmore rushed out the smoke, only showing a slight bit of damage on his monstrous form, clearly angry at Winter Soldier's interfering with this fight, and once again denying him Hellcat's life, roaring he'd unleashed a burst of fire, so intense all three heroes were forced back from the flames.

But as the building, ignited in flames, burning fast as Blackmore burst out from another point of the building, leaped at the three heroes, Hellcat's claws ready, Iron Fist's fist surging with chi, and Winter Soldier's gun locked and prime for the upcoming fight!!

Golem slashed Power Man across the face, in his latest connected blow, three of his claws, swiping and cutting onto Luke Cage's face, and blood dripped down from it, something that hasn't happened to the man in a long while.

But he'd managed to land a crushing blow to Golem's face as well, but didn't do as much as Power Man hoped for, all it did was meager damage to Golem, as the eighth Infernal Lord smash down his fists onto Power Man.

Forcing the once Indestructible man, down onto his knees, giving Luke Cage a tigth bear hug, so he couldn't escape Golem he said to Power Man, "Me got You!!" his conductors and generator releasing massive amount of purple electricity, blasting a constant shock of his [Shock Wave], Luke Cage felt unbelievable pain.

The most pain he had in years, as the magical electricity of Golem, surge throughout every fiber of Power Man's being, he wasn't able to fight back or escape, as he'd barely heard Golem say, "Now You die." when suddenly a yellow-orange blur came soaring in and smash onto Golem.

Making him yell in pain, as he was launched across the street, smashing onto several vehicles, and a burning dumpster truck, leaving a huge vent on it.

Freed, Power Man released a breathe of relief, as steam came out from allover his body, Captain Marvel she looked at an old friend, and removed her helmet, revealing a beautiful face with spiky blonde hair, no longer in a mohawk.

She checked on Power Man, who was very slowly getting his senses back, and just when he was just back to normal, he saw a vented dumpster truck, flying toward him and Carol, so he pushed Carol out the way and dive to another spot, as the heavy, thick truck smashed onto the spot, rolling a couple times.

Before the dumpster truck, hit on the side of convience store, nearly breaking through the whole structure, as Golem panting angrily, as both Captain Marvel with her helmet back on, and Power Man stood side to side, Golem continued walking forward as he said, "Me want to kill Man. Why You stop Me?" Captain Marvel, was a bit shocked by the question, but answered in a slight irritated voice, "Cause I won't let a monster hurt my friends!!" blasting photonic beams at Golem.

Golem grunted a bit, as he started absorbing the energy that Captain Marvel was pouring unto him.

Carol, she immediately noticed something wrong, as her cosmic energy wasn't damaging the monster at the other side of the road.

When suddenly a massive spike of power, huge voltage of purple lightning, bursting out of Golem, zapping and burning everything around him.

His power was drastically increasing, shocking both Carol and Luke Cage, as she stopped blasting her energy, grunting in frustration, as she said, "Damn it!! He is a energy drainer!!!" Golem supercharged in a drastic level, roaring in fury!!

Golem spread his arms and claws, as he roared and yelled out, "Me destroy You!! Destroy everything!!!" smashing down his fists, and got onto his knees, yelling and roaring in such levels that it actually intimidated both the Defender and Avenger.

As Golem opened his mouth, and fired a massive purple, whitish-purple beam twice the size and width of Golem himself, unleashing his [Thunder Beam] super attack.

Captain Marvel, she'd threw Power Man out the way, crossing her arms hoping her own energy absorption and super physical abilities, can willstand the upcoming beam.

As the [Thunder Beam] consumed her, and blasted her away, burning everything in the path, obliterating everything caught in the beam, many malefactors, and the heroes in Hell's Kitchen got out the way.

Eventually Carol, she was being burned and pressured by the beam overtaking her, at least she was absorbing some of the damage, and energy, which she'd used to blast herself out of Golem's [Thunder Beam], her suit, let out sizzling plumes from her form.

She looked at Golem, with a huge, melted trench in front of him, as Golem got back up, soon joined by a large amount of Marksmen and Triggermen, all aimed at her and Luke Cage, Golem spoke in surprise, "Me shock. You should be dead. Me will kill You. Me Infernal Lord." his broken words, the marksmen and triggermen, started shooting at the two heroes.

Both Captain Marvel and Power Man they ignored the heavy onslaught of bullets, bouncing off both their bodies, they knew taking out Golem was now a top priority, with that capacity of destruction, they can't allow Golem to fire another beam, Carol flew at the flesh golem and malefactors, as Luke Cage ran ahead.

Mao who was watching everything from a nearby graffiti covered building, petting a mauler who was rubbing it's body on his leg, like a real dog.

He came a bit ago, wanting to lead telepathically some malefactors to the targeted area of Hell's Kitchen, subtlely.

Since Spiderman, Falcon, Daredevil, Elektra, and Iceman are busy taking out his malefactor legion, and rescuing the idiot that didn't fled the area.

As Mao observed Captain Marvel who is now fighting Golem, the marksmen and triggermen alongside Power Man, Mao didn't worried cause honestly Golem still held the advantage in this fight, as it progresses, and both heroes grew tired Golem, he can recharge and or overcharge his power to match and even crush these superheroes.

But with the other Avengers, as he thought about it, Mao noticed Thor flew over him, blasting lighting at some slayers, gorgers, and festers on the street below.

Mao wasn't worried of being discovered, because before arriving he casted magic on himself.

Practically making him unnoticeable by the Asgardian, and any other that isn't apart of the Forsaken, right now Blackmore was currently fighting Iron Fist, Hellcat, and Winter Soldier, Mao once again needed to tip the scales, as soon the Avengers and Defenders will notice that these malefactors and Infernal Lords, were a big distraction.

While the rest of the malefactor legion, was ravishing and slaughtering every spot of Kingpin, including attacking the high-class district of the city.

Meaning that once again he'd needed another heavy hitting, and fast monster to deal with Spiderman, Falcon, Daredevil, and Elektra, something that they can't harm or escape from easily, a natural hunter and beast...that's when it hit him, a monster from a movie he'd loved.

The monster from the Relic, the Kothoga the chimera of a tiger, a reptile, a fish, and insect, supposedly a apex predator, that has a grave weakness of not being able to survive without the hormones of some orange fungus, that a South American tribe use to make the monster, which can track prey across miles, climb any surface, swim, and much more.

By making his Kothoga, a smarter beast, stop his constant mutation, and make him stronger and bigger, plus taking away his weaknesses to cold, heat, fire, and extreme hormonal need, the Kothoga, will be a beast that few can match, so without wasting any more time, Mao he activated and commanded his Chaos System to summon Kothoga.

A red transparent floating screen, with pinkish-white wording on it, prompted [Kothoga/John Whitney + Greater Size + Enhance Physical Abilities + Increase Intellect + Extreme Temperature Resistance + Greater Fire Resistance + Companionship & Obedience + Hormones Dependency Removal + Mutation Completion= 18500 CP. Do you wish to proceed?] having one of his favorite horror monsters as his own beast, and Infernal Lord?

Of course he'd told the Chaos System to proceed, as 30-thousand+ dropped to 290875, and Mao sense his new Infernal Lord and beast steering and roaming across the Void, using his telepathic power to command Kothoga to come, as a mass of black fog appeared behind Mao.

As a huge 12-feet tall, and 18-feet long chimera a cross between a huge reptile and tiger, as well as various other animals, emerged from the black fog beside Mao.

The yellowed eyed, Kothoga main color is green, with multi-green tone marks and freckles on the creature, and a white underbelly, he has a brown fur on upper back and the end of the green spikes on his spine, and lastly some fur on the main massive, razor sharp, and powerful insectoid mandibles on the upper part of his jaw.

Speaking on mouth, aside the massive insectoid mandibles on the upper jaw, he has razor sharp teeth, and a smaller pair of insectoid mandibles on the lower jaw, a really long serpentine tongue.

Razor sharp, and huge claws with extra-digits on the frontal paws, a huge and long reptile tail with blackish-green tiger stripes on said tail, releasing a wheezing snarl, as Kothoga walked over to Mao's left side, as Mao petted Kothoga, and said one command, "Hunt and rip them apart." roaring like great beast, as he leaped over to another roof, chasing after his target, making Mao smile, as he'd watched with eagerness on the upcoming bloodbath.
