Herc stopped for a moment as he stared ahead at the shadowy figure, he wasn't sure what to really expect but he was sure that he wasn't an enemy at least. He smiled and stepped forward getting a little closer to the figure.
"Thanks for the help, but It was well in my power to handle them all by myself" he laughed as he spoke to show he meant no ill will. Danny walked past him and stared down the street as if trying to spot something. After a few moments a loud gunshot could be heard coming from the direction that, and Bucky could be seen in the distance in his modified version of Captain America's costume running across the street and into a dark building. As soon as he was out of site Cho activated there com-links and began to speak to them.
"Blue Team, this is Cho. I just wanted to give you a heads up that Bucky is showing normal life signs, but he seems to be getting chased by someone else who isn't infected or a demon. You might wanna check it out. Over and out
Spider-man walked forward stepping over the bodies as he moved, he thought it was interesting but a shame that the people had to be killed instead of cured. He kept moving and pressed his hands against the large stone dome, he put his head against it and knocked. It doesn't appear to be all to hard but from what I'm getting it's very thick. Can one of you try to put a hole in it, maybe what we are looking for is in there. It's at least worth a shot" He shrugged and took a few steps back as he waited to see what they would do.
Not far from Bucky came another figure bursting out of the darkness wearing a black trench coat and hat. It was Blackjack.
"hehehe...Ya can't hide from me Bucky!...I'm gonna git ya...!!
He moved up to the dark building and chucked a grenade through the window, shattering the glass. Standing there tapping his foot as he waited for the grenade to explode. "1...2...3...Boom."
An explosion could be heard from inside and Blackjack charged in the building, his guns at the ready.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
~Elsewhere~
XT, took some steps back from the large stone dome and responded to Spidey's request. "...I will try Spider-man, Sir..."
He reared his massive hulkbuster arms back and fired both of his rocket boosted gauntlets at full speed towards the side of the dome.
~Reeka looked up to the dome and blinked a bit, then nodded, agreeing with She-hulk. Makes sense I suppose. But if what ever took these guys out IS in there, woukldnt there be a door? How else would it get inside that giant thing?~
~Drako eyed the dark figured a moment then sighed. -What ever- he thought~
"Doesn't matter. We'll either find it and crush it, or it will find us and we'll crush it. I picked you guys because of our similar brute strength and Meatball head's magical strength. Nothing will get in our way. Now Reeka, could you do me a little favor and fly around and look for little unusual? You can cover much more ground faster than the rest of us."
Brian heard the call and assembled his team.
"New objective guys, we have to find Bucky and save him if he is in danger. Stay close Galaxia."
~Righty-Ho! Gives him a Mock Salute before flying into the air, arms spread out wide, and spinning. Look! Im a Helicopter! She thought to herself. She stopped spinning and looked about. Her happy go lucky face suddenly turned to shock. Wow! Thats alot of Dead Zombies! And I thought the street below had a lot of clutter. Hmm.. She ignored the unmoving bodys and focused on things that actually WERE moving. something Unusual... He means besides the dead Zombies and demons and giant monsters?Tch.. I dont even know what im looking for up here.. She sat indian style in the air and crossed her arms. Was she... pouting?~
=The dark figures left eye got wider and the right one seemed to close a bit. It was a look of curiosity towards Herc.=
I suppose it was... however I did not know it to begin with seeing as how I dont know you.
=His head jerked up, and both yellow eyes widened in response to the gunshot, then looked to Brian as he spoke to his team.=
Though I do not know who "Bucky" is I wish you all luck in your rescue mission.
=He turned and began to walk off.=
"I don't know but let's find out." He sped ahead of the new guy and stopped him in his tracks for questioning. "Forgive me but I can not allow you to move any further until you answer a few questions. You're not infected so that rules out the innocent human civilian. Are you working with the Hood or are you a demon in disguise?"
=Stopped before Brian and tilted his head a bit arching a brow in a curious look.=
I do not know who Hood is and I am certainly not a Demon, Zombie, or what ever. Now... if you will excuss me.
=Phases and steps through Brian, walking off again.=
I need to purge this city of these vile creatures and save my home.
=The purple aura around him flared up as he raised his left arm. A nearby crashed bus becomes engulfed in shadow and rises up. It was as if he was about to throw it at the nearest Zombie Mob.=
Danny looked back to where he saw Bucky run to and then back to the dark figure. He walked over by Brian but kept listening out in case he heard more fighting from where they saw Bucky go to.
XT's attack had caused the dome to crack and began to form a hole, when it become surrounded in blue energy and it became completely restored. Spider-man stood there looking at it with a confused look on his face although it couldn't be seen under the mask. He shrugged and look back at them group "umm Ok then"
A loud grunting could be heard from Reeka's location along with very heavy footsteps. Almost the instant the sounds were heard, a flaming H3 Hummer that was on top of a firetruck began to fly towards her at high speeds. It was thrown by Hulk who had been running around town killing every demon since the attacks started, he had visible bags under his yes from fatigue but every time he stopped he saw another and regained all of his energy in order to attack. But the fatigue was effected his already messed up mind already. He heard the strike hit the dome and ignored Reeka as he lept into the air, he landed a few meters behind the rest of red team and let out a loud roar.
"Demons....Think they can trick Hulk...pretend to be hulk's friends..won't work....
"aww crap"
~Reeka gave a soft huff as she looked about the area from the sky. She twisted around lightly to look at the area behind her only to see at the last second, a Hummer on fire... All she could say was.. Holy F... The hummer slammed into her and kept going before crashing into the ground away from the group. Drako, in the other group, glared at the dark figure. Well, is there something we ca call you? Or do i have to make one up? Hmm.. How about... Numb nuts?! whatcha doing with that buss Numb Nuts?~
XT turned around looking at hulk as his gauntlets returned to him and re-attached themselves. This is what his hulkbuster was built for.
He readied himself, standing in a defensive stance, thinking surely hulk would recognize the suit and go for him.
------------------------------------------------------------------
~Meanwhile~
Blackjack was hunting down Bucky inside the dark building, occasionally firing off a shot from his gun in attempts to draw him out and kicking down doors as he goes.
"Whoa Meatball Head, you just got hit with like 10 tons of irony, and it appears as if we're about to get hit by even more pretty soon. If he's not thinking right then we'll just have to quickly beat some sense into him."
Bran ordered his team to take their positions so they could engage the green Goliath. Meanwhile Brian could hear gunshots going off and thought it might be Bucky, he wants to learn more about the new guy and possibly enlist his aid, but there isn't much time.
"Listen I don't have much more time to talk but we're trying to stop the demons as well, and we could use your help. We're heading towards that building where the gunfire went off."
Without hesitation he and his team went off and headed towards Bucky's location who was still hiding from Black Jack. He then mustered the courage that his former mentor had and revealed himself with his own gun and knife in hand and the shield on his back. He shot off two shots that purposely missed.
"The next one won't miss, now surrender or I'll take you in myself!"
Galaxia stayed close to Brian, as promised. The gunshots made her nervous, plus the Dark mysterious guy.
(Meanwhile)
Red Star was finally in Ohio, in the city. She observed her surroundings as she secretly stopped her motorcycle near a building. Zombies. "Hm. This should be fun." Suddenly, she heard gunshots. "They must be close. I can feel it."
She started up her motorcycle, and rode off. Red Star felt that she was close to getting her sister.
Blackjack calmly began walking up to Bucky, holstering his guns and speaking.
"And just where do you plan to "Take me in."... Have you been outside lately?
He pointed out the nearby broken window.
"Just look outside... everybody is dead, they tore each other apart..."
He smiled as he took another step further.
"It's just you and me now, boy..."
With the blink of an eye Blackjack palm punched Bucky, grabbing ahold of his face with one hand and slamming his head downward onto a wall mounted heater.
"...*Sniff*..*Sniff*... You smell that boy?... I smell bacon...hahaha "
He said as he smelt the heater burning Bucky's face a bit and began to cackle.
"Hehe...well i guess it's time to finish this Bucky boy..."
Blackjack lifted his leg up as if he were about to curb-stomp Bucky.
Bucky pulled his head up from the heater and punched Jack right in the foot with his cybernetic arm. He then regains his composure and punches him again with the same arm in the face which sends him flying across the room.[i] "It's going to take a lot more then that to put me down." [i]He took his fighting stance and he was ready for another bout, but luckily Brian and the rest came and they were surprised at what they found.
"Black Jack is that you? Why are you trying to hurt Captain America? You were our friend, don't do this."
