Chapter 5: A City of Chaos
The city is on the brink. Captain America (Sam Wilson/MCU) is teamed up with Moon Knight (MCU), whose unpredictable nature is both a strength and a liability. But Sam knows that he needs all the help he can get for the mission to maintain order in the city while some of the Avengers are away. At Avengers Tower . . . Marc Spector enters the war room and says “City's eating itself alive, Captain.” Not looking back,looking out the window, eyes on the streets Sam says "Yeah, I know.” Steven Grant then says “That why you called me?” Sam finally looking back said “I need someone who knows how to fight in the dark. Someone who can hit hard, move fast, and doesn’t stop just ‘cause things get ugly.” Jake Lockly replied with a sinister grin. Good. Because I don’t stop if I don’t want to.” Sam studies him, then nods, accepting the chaos Moon Knight brings to the city and to The Avengers. Cap then says “Then let’s get to work.”
At the heart of the chaos, Shang-Chi (MCU) confronts Doctor Octopus (Alfred Molina) once again, this time calling for help from Luke Cage(MCU), Spider-man (Tobey Maguire) and The Wolverine. Who were the closest heroes to Doc Ock's lab. Luke was nearby because he heard Shocker was in the area. Spider-man was in the area leaving the daily bugle. The lab is a mess of exposed wiring, flickering lights, and shattered glass. Machinery hums and sparks fly from the previous fight with Shang-Chi. At the center of it all stands Doc Ock, his mechanical arms trying to fix some of the damage that had been done.
Ock glares at the intruders. All of which were poised for battle. Doc Ock begins to say " You are all a nuisan.” Before he can finish, Shang-Chi with the ten rings springs forward, sliding low under one of Ock’s tentacles and snapping a precise kick to his ribs. Doc Ock stumbles back, but the two front mechanical arms lash out at him. Shang-Chi backflips away just in time. Shooting webbing and swinging into the fight Spidey says “Oh Doc, you really gotta stop monologuing” Spider-Man fires webs at Ock’s face, but the same two front arms slice through them with ease. One mechanical arm swings like a wrecking ball, forcing Spidey to somersault mid-air. Luke Cage cracking his knuckles and stepping forward said “Alright, enough of this.”
A tentacle whips toward Luke, but he doesn’t move. Instead, it slams against his chest with a metallic clunk then just… stops. Ock’s eyes widen as Luke smirks. Luke grabs the tentacle and yanks hard. The force drags Ock forward, his feet touch the ground and start to scrape. As he stumbles, Logan sees his opening. Snarling and lunging in. With a SNIKT, Wolverine slashes at the tentacles. Sparks fly as his adamantium meets Ock’s steel, carving deep gashes into Ock’s mechanical limbs. Ock howls in pain as some sparks surges through his neural link. Ock lunges wildly, but Luke grabs him by the collar and slams him into a table, shattering it. Logan steps forward, claws at Ock’s throat. Doc Ock gritted his teeth, trying to regain control but his neural link was too damaged.Doc Ock pants heavily, defeated. His remaining tentacles twitch, but there’s no fight left in him. Spider-Man finishes webbing him up, ensuring he’s not going anywhere. With Doc Ock captured and sent to the raft things were looking up for the heroes.
The streets are a little more quiet, but the damage has been done. Some heroes and villains have found uneasy alliances, while others are set on paths that will bring them face-to-face in the future. Shocker(Comic) is still on the loose. Baron Zemo(MCU) plans to meet with The Punisher again. And while some have won battles, the war is far from over. The city remains in turmoil.
