(General POV)
Location the New Earth: Inside the X-men's Blackbird
Inside the interior of the Blackbird, resembling a more stylish, and comfortable cago-plane interior, in gray and black color theme.
With multiple black chair, on the the main control panel of the plane, and a long gray furnished, long benches on the back, were a drop platform system is securely installed, and sitting in various spots of the plane are six mutants.
Six superheroes, and veteran members of the X-men group, who were sent to by their mentor and leader, Professor Charles Xavier, to save their long time friend and fellow mutant Bobby Drake, Iceman, currently in grave danger in Hell's Kitchen.
Just a moment Jean, she called them to tell them, what happened back in the X Manor, something that the Professor came across in his telepathic wave on Hell's Kitchen, seems to greatly hurt and affect him, she told everyone that Xavier was fine, and resting but until the Professor tells them what happened to him, they were going into the battle without the Professor backup.
Sitting on the pilot seat is Cyclops aka Scott Summers a young man, with lean muscle structure, with his short reddish-brown hair exposed on his X-man suit.
Wearing a yellow thin viser over his eyes, so he can not only see but also use his optic lasers at will, having black bodysuit, with yellow gloves, boots, belt, and harness over his chest, in said harness is the X-men logo on a crest.
He thanked Jean for the info, and told her and the others to take care of the Professor, and not worry about Iceman they'll bring him back home, ending that call.
Sitting on the co-pilot chair, beside Cyclop is Wolverine aka Logan Howlett, a mutant that possesses a healing factor that not only keep him in his prime state, but allow him to survive a deadly procedure of coating his entire skeleton in adamantium.
He was sitting with his arm crossed, in a yellow and black accent sleeveless body suit, which come with a cowl that give Wolverine a almost animalistic cowl-mask with huge black pointed-edge eyes like parts and white eye-lenses.
Has a pair of special long black gloves, with some yellow band accents, that have a special holes that his three adamantium claws, can sprout out his body without slashing his gloves, a silver belt with the X-men symbol as a belt-buckle, and lastly a pair of black boots.
On the back is Beast aka Hank McCoy, was hanging from one of the silver tunes, reading a book upside-down.
It was Beast form of calming himself, especially when it comes to the state of one of his previous, and cherished students, as he is a large mutant with a animalistic physiology and structure, with a human like face with some fangs, coming out his lower lips, sharpen ears, and clawed-nails.
Having blue fur allover his body, with a incredible muscular physique, as for his choice of a suit X-men it's stretch almost knee-length pants in a black color, with some yellow bands on the thighs, a yellow belt with a red X-men logo on the front, as a buckle.
Shadowcat the codename of Kitty Pryde is teenage girl, one of the younger mutants of the X-men with the power to phase through almost any object, matter, and surface, she walks or leaps through.
She is a cute girl of light brown hair, that she ties in a high ponytail, wearing her special X-men suit, being mostly black with a reverse faded aqua arrow on the front of the suit, starting the widest on the top and skinny on the bottom.
Having a pair of yellow folded-sleeve gloves, a yellow belt with a red X-men logo on the front, and faded aqua colored semi-high boots.
Shadowcat, was sitting on the back, near Beast trying to not lose her mind in worry for Bobby, and eager to reach the city, and save her close friend, they were among the younger generation of X-men and bonded quickly, so she desperately hopes they arrive and save him.
Anna Marie LeBeau or as codename says, Rogue she a great beauty with a luscious figure, which her suit esseuates, her exotic hair cause by draining Magneto once for a long period, being almost all brown with the front white, wild and semi-curly, her hair having great length.
She has light lovely skin, which also serves as her deadliest weapon, for any physical contact through skin, Rogue drains the life-force of the subject, in case of mutants, temporary their powers, and one time by draining Captain Marvel for a very long period of time, she gained permanently the powers of superstrength and flight.
Returning to her looks, she is wearing a tigth green and yellow full-body suit, that makes her breast more sensual, the bodysuit has a black X-men logo on the right upper chest area of the suit, with a open long-sleeved light brown jacket, with a larger black X-men logo on the right sleeve, lastly two brown leather belts linked onto crest, with a red X-men logo, and yellow gloves and boots.
The last X-men that was sent on this mission, is Nightcrawler aka Kurt Wagner a teleporter, with a unique physical appearance.
Honestly he is a mutant, that looks like a blue devil with a arrow-tip tail, he has yellow eyes, and three-fingered hands and feet, his X-men suit is a black long-sleeved full-body style with red padding on his chest, shoulders, gauntlets, and legs, lastly he also wears white gloves and boots, designed for his hands and feet.
He is sitting on the other gray couch on the otherside of the back of the Blackbird, he was trying to convince Cyclops to allow him to teleport ahead, search and get Bobby out of danger, but Scott and Logan they both declined this idea, as it was too risky.
The only way for them to rescue Iceman, without risking more of their own, and also Wolverine put his last words to this conversation, "Listen bub. I'm worry about Bobby as well, but we need to all go together. These Forsaken...there like nothing that we faced before. So we do this together, or not." Cyclops agreed, as they continue flying towards Hell's Kitchen.
Location Manhattan; New York, Hell's Kitchen, Grocery Store Parking Lot
The Defenders are desperately trying to get through the black fog barrier, set around a parking lot, from a devastated from a lot of damage.
As Mao's hellfire, was still approaching Bobby's broken and near completely mutilated body, he was utterly at Mao and his Forsaken's mercy, Bobby was desperately trying to push through his pain, and try to channel his ice powers.
But every time he tries, Mao would smile and subtlely used his telepathy to attack Iceman's mind, and stopped any sign of him fighting against the shadowy restrains that Mao, has him on.
That's when the sound of huge, heavy jet engines were blarring above them, Mao looked up, and saw the famous Blackbird, almost like the X-men movies, only more bigger.
Turning to Cyn, who smiled showing her sharp teeth, and said, "Happy. What do you need, darling? Loving wink." Mao, smiled back at Cyn, and pointing his clawed finger, up to the sky.
Cyn immediately understood, her eyes became more devilish, as she'd raised her right robotic, and second flesh hand hanging on her wrist, using her power of [Absolute Solver] making the yellow three-point symbol in between her fingers, and started to hack, corrupt, and psychically take control of the Blackbird.
Cyclops, was losing complete control over the Blackbird, glitches, and sparks flying allover the control panel of the plane, he couldn't pull it from a nose dive, falling straight onto the city below.
Wolverine, pulled Scott out the pilot seat, and told the rest of the X-men to abandon ship.
Everyone did as Logan said, but the platform couldn't open so Cyclops, used a high setting on his visor, and fired a huge, and powerful red optic laser, blasting a hole on the side of the Blackbird, allowing everyone to escape...that isn't Kitty or Rogue.
Rogue she used her flying power to simply fly out the hole, as Kitty she used her power, and phase through the Blackbird's floor, free falling with a big, excited smile on her face, as Shadowcat was falling onto a rundown, and dilapidated apartment complex, which she phased through the roof, and all throughout the twelve floors, and basement.
Once she phased through the final floor, onto the underground of all the building, she climbed out without issue or injury, Shadowcat, she started phasing through walls, and objects heading towards Bobby's location.
Meanwhile the rest of the X-men, Wolverine leaped through the hole that Cyclops made, sprouting out three, razor sharp, metallic claws out from in-between his knuckles.
Not worried, since his healing factor and indestructible bones, covered everything, but he didn't feel like waiting to heal from this crash, so he'd dived over at some brick, and graffiti covered building, stabbing and slicing through the wall without resistance.
Slowing down his fall, and leaping down to the road, growling, as he'd sniffed the air, and picking up Bobby's scent...and blood, so he rushed towards Iceman, and his claws were eager to slice apart the bastard that hurt the kid.
Beast, he did something similar to Logan, using his animalistic abilities and acrobatics to grab onto wires, poles, and more to slow his fall, and safely land.
While Nightcrawler he quickly, grabbed onto Cyclops and teleported to ground, together as they saw their Blackbird, was just about to crash.
When suddenly it stopped crashing, straight up, suspended on mid-air like if Magneto has used his power on the ship, then the Blackbird started to turn a full 180, and flew over to the grocery store area that Iceman was on.
Mao saw as Cyn, instead of crashing it onto the city, she and Jinx huddled together and begged Mao, if they can keep the plane for their own, even giving him puppy dog eyes and quivering lips...Lilithmon, she used her hand and sleeve to cover her mouth to elegantly giggle at the sight.
Mao, he chuckled and shake his head, then he sighed, saying, "Fine. But keep the minions and zergs away from it. Cause I'm not fixing what they bust or infect!!" making Cyn and Jinx "yay", rush over and kissed their husband.
So Mao he conjured a massive amount of black fog, and basically stole the Blackbird of the X-men, Jinx was excited to thinker and make the thing more cooler and deadly.
Cyn, she has a same mind set, as they gave one last kiss to their husband and left in the black fog, back to the Void, Lilithmon then decided to join her sisters, and return to the Void as well.
Leaving him, with Blackmore, Kothoga, and Golem, but at least the final guests of honor have finally arrived, as Mao saw the iconic yellow-suit Wolverine, classic Beast, and sexy Rogue, more padded Nightcrawler, X-men Evo style Cyclops, and Shadowcat.
Immediately Cyclops upon seeing the state of Iceman, he frown angrily and set his visor setting at its maximum output, firing a red optic laser blast, that can rival a Superman super-charged laser vision...only for that optic blast, once it cross the property line of the grocery store parking lot.
With a smile, at the sight of Cyclops' attack, entering the black fog and come right back at the Defenders and X-men, Rogue, Beast, Daredevil, Elektra, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones-Cage, Nightcrawler, and Wolverine jumped out of harms way.
As Scott's attack obliterated several buildings, near were they are, and if Kitty didn't jump at Cyclops and phase them both through the ground, Cyclops would have died to his own super-charged optic blast.
Mao laughed hysterically at the sight playing out in front of him, he even said, "Man. For superheroes, you're all quite stupid." gesturing around the place with a circling index finger, as he continued to speak, "Do you really think, that these people would let me enjoy, Iceman's suffering in front of them? Man, and I thought people were stupid. But mutants. You gave make bangers, look like Einstein." this surge of anger, and hatred from his insult and instigation, plus hastening his hellfire to burn Iceman, cause him to gain a large amount of CP, [Congratulations you've just earned 127500 CP.]
Largest score to date, as Bobby's body and soul were finally engulfed in hellfire, burning as he'd scream and thrashed around in agony, making all the heroes rage, and desperately trying again to reach Mao and the Infernal Lords, that's when the Avengers finally came back.
Mao thought it was time to wrap things up, as he noticed Nightcrawler bursting in a blackish blue whisp, clearly teleporting and trying to reach Iceman.
Which only resulted in him appearing in the same spot, over and over again, Wolverine and Cyclops shouted at the blue devil looking mutant, but he couldn't teleport inside the property around the grocery store.
It was a bit amusing, but now with Thor, Spiderman, and Captain Marvel back in the picture, with a simple command toward the Void, he put on the final show for the heroes, as small rift of black fog appeared beside Mao and a slayer malefactor came out, it bladed legs, clanking onto the pavement.
Making it kneel, and make some hissing and other noises, Mao pretended to understand the monster, and give a little performance.
Mao acted like he was pissed, even engulfing his form in shadows, hellfire, and black fog, giving the image of raging demon, before he pretended to calm down and revert to his usual handsome, twisted self.
Sighing, he looked at the Avengers, X-men, and Defenders with a clear tired and annoyed look, raising his right clawed-gauntlet hand, he said, "Seems that the fun has to end now." Mao snapped his fingers, and a massive tidal wave of black fog, spread and swallowed the entirety of Hell's Kitchen, all the heroes tried to cover themselves from the spreading black fog.
But the black fog, pinned then down, for a while when suddenly the black fog stopped and disappeared, when the heroes looked around and saw only each other, along with Mao holding onto the badly burned Bobby by the back of his head, showing him off in his pathetic state.
Mao he looked unamused, as he said, "Seems that this destroy all obstacles plan failed. Be happy that you'd save a city. Even if it wasn't done by you guys... As a final token of participation, let me tell you all that the Cores are about to awaken." this little news shocked the heroes, except the X-men that were a bit clueless of these Cores.
Raising and presenting Iceman, Mao spoke again, "Now before I go, let me end your misery." Mao threw Iceman at X-men, Beast was just about to catch him, when sharp spikes of shadows, emerged from the ground and impaled Bobby allover his body.
The X-men and Defenders scream in horror, at the sight of their dead friend and teammate, as a huge gain of Chaos Points, [Congratulations you've just earned 200000 CP.] making Mao laugh, and banish in black fog, returning to his Void, leaving the heroes to suffer, and enjoy the spoils of victory over the heroes again.
