In the fantasy world, destruction based offenses are considered especially heinous. In the forest, the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious war crimes are members of an elite squad known as the The Striders of Rohan. These are their stories.

The fog is thick and is making it hard to see in the forest other than the tracking of Geralt.  His ability to track monsters is among the best and was led here by the sense of fear and screams of terror.  Geralt was leading an elite squad into the forest as he knew the monster he was tracking was nothing like he had faced in his life as a witcher.  He is followed  closely by the Winter Soldier who stops in his tracks as he sees someone ahead.

It looked like a burnt human.  As they got closer they could hear the screams of children, but there wasn’t a child in sight.  Winter Soldier goes to approach the man but he disappears.  “I think I might be hallucinating.  We’ve been traveling for days trying to find this monster and we’ve gotten nowhere” says Winter Soldier out of pure frustration.  

“Then get some rest.  We stop for a little bit and we will continue on.” says Geralt.

This was all but the start of a disaster for the Winter Soldier.  As he already has an unstable mind.  It opened the floodgates for Freddy Kruegar.  

Bucky Barnes was back to that night.  The night he killed Iron Man's parents.  He wanted to try and stop himself from doing it but couldn’t do anything as if he wasn’t there at all.  This kept replaying through the mind of the fast asleep Bucky.

The rest of the Striders had no idea what was happening until they heard the horrific screams coming from Bucky while he’s asleep.  Geralt then catches onto a new monster that's near.  The screams continued until he was laying in a pool of blood as Kruegar and slit his throat as Bucky succumbed to the fear of his nightmares. 

After his death the noises of the singing children began to grow louder and louder.  Almost as a battle cry for the Assassin’s they are trying to hunt.  Geralt knew more and more powerful forces were closing in.  The fog is so thick and commotion around him is inhibiting him from knowing if it's the one he is looking for.  

Geralt yells “We need to take defense and head in different directions; we cannot get cornered here.”

Azula, X-23, Wolverine, and the swamp benders continue on to the west as the entire team begins to split up with a few in each group. 

X-23 took the lead as they continued on.  She led them right to Hyperion who seemed to be waiting there for them.  

Hyperion greets them “Welcome, I heard you all coming so I thought I’d meet you here so we can get this over with”

“Over with, what do you mean over with” replies Azula

“Nothing but your inevitable death.  Don’t worry it’s not just me you have to worry about.  I brought a friend along so we can end this.  We don’t take too kindly to being tracked” says the cocky Hyperion as The Ancient One emerges from the thick fog.  

Wolverine wasn’t having none of this bullish so he leaped right at Hyperion to attack him, who immediately dodged the attack.  X-23 backs up the fellow mutant in trying to attack Hyperion.  This battle was one no saw coming.  These guys boxed harder than Mike Tyson on cocaine.  The regenerative powers from both sides are unmatched.  None of the attacks are doing damage.  

All while this is happening The ancient one attacked Azula with a bolt of lightning. Azula caught off guard as she didn’t know there was someone else who could bend nature other than her and the swamp benders with her.  Azula instantly orders the swamp benders to attack.  The swamp benders try to attack but with the lack of water in this forest their attacks are weak and cannot damage the Ancient One.

The ancient one laughs at them as he finds their powers and minds to be weak.  He then releases energy from his hands, incinerating the two swamp benders.  “You are all weak.  I am a master of mystic arts.  You are nothing but the scum on the ground”

Azula enrages and lets out blades of blue fire catching the nearby trees on fire.   The ancient one knew this would be a battle now. This fight between sorcerers is unmatched.  The strength of the blue flames is beginning to be too much for the ancient one.  The ancient one is a master of astral projection who was going to leave his body until he was crushed by a tree, but it was not anytree it was two walking trees.

“We're here to help the friends of the forest,” says Treebeard.  “We’ve come to help you rid the forest of scum.”

The battle between wolverine, x-23, and Hyperion was still ongoing.  X-23 is starting to wear out as the damage is becoming too much for her to regenerate and is decapitated by Hyperion.  Wolverine enraged ups the tempo but Hyperion was too much for him.  He was taken to the ground about to be defeated, until Azula lets out waves of fire at Hyperion who has no choice but to dodge.  Wolverine tries to finish him off as he is distracted but Hyperion’s sense of hearing is too great for Wolverine as he is able to dodge and give a deadly blow to Wolverine.  

Lying in a pool of blood, Wolverine says to Azula “We have to get back to help Geralt.  He can’t do this alone”

Azula then lets out a bloody scream and releases hell upon the forest.  Everything in sight was up in flames, even the tree beards who had just helped her were taken as part of the toll.  

Azula begins to run back to the way she came in an effort to find Geralt but only stumbles upon a battle of  Balrog of Moria and Ancalagon the Black against Dr.Manhattan.  

This really do be the battle of some big ole hogs out here.  Balrog even has more Balrogs coming to back his fiery ass up, but it isn’t enough.  Dr.Manhattan is able to absorb a lot of the damage.  As the balrogs come for reinforcement they are met by the Witch King on his fell beast who is able to give them the works.  Balrog of Moria wasn’t going to leave without a kill on the leaderboard as The Witch King tries to fly away Durins Bane smacks him to the ground harder than a Magglio Ordonez Home Run in the ALCS killing him and his beast almost instantly.  Ancalagon tries to distract the Zombied version of Dr.Manhattan as Durin's Bane attacks.

Back up has finally arrived as Ash comes in with her breaching rounds shooting them at the legs of Dr.Manhattan.  Glaz begins to let off sniper shots as he is able to see through the fog but his gun is useless against Dr.Manhattan.  Ash on the other hand isn’t able to be hit as she is almost running at mach speeds and her head cannot be touched (you can thank those bastards at ubisoft for this one). She was able to distract the confused Manhattan as Balrog dealt some deadly blows to Manhattan.

The Striders began to celebrate until Geralt showed up.  

“Why are you cheering” Geralt says to Ash and Azula

“We’ve won” replies the both of them 

“He’s still here”

Tornedron has finally arrived with Freddy, Sauron, and Father of Mortis.  These are some of the most powerful beings the universe has to offer and they are here to settle the score in a final scene in the forest.  

Freddy tries to take the mind of Geralt but it is no use as he isn’t sleepy nor would he be able to get into the mind of a witcher.  Geralt then tells Freddy “I’ve got something fun planned for you”

Abeloth then appears taking the form of a human deceiving Freddy.  He tries to attack as it isn’t enough for Abeloth.  In Fact it's pathetic as Abeloth is able to reverse the roles and make Freddy's World chaos.  Abeloth is more powerful in the mind than Freddy and is able to make him relive his own nightmares of the building that burned and killed him. 

Sauron then begins to slay Ancalagon the Black with ease.  Sauron then looks up at the Balrog ready to battle only to see it fall to the floor as both his life and Balrogs life were drained away by Tornedron as he was caught in the crossfire.  

Geralt is left alone with Azula as Abeloth has disappeared after the fight with Freddy.  Geralt and Azula are able to fight off the Father of Mortis.  Geralt’s sword was caught by Father mid attack but was shot at when doing so.  Father is so strong in the force he was able to hold off a sword from Geralt.  They are no match for Tornedron as they are both killed by the entity. 

The rest of the Stiders Team were on task to take out the Assassins in the city.  This unit is above the elite.  This unit is Boppin. (cue the SVU soundtrack)

The city is under mass destruction from the Assassin’s who are doing this for political gain.  Yea you didn’t see that coming did you.  The Striders who already know the city is under destruction lets out their two King Kongs.  Two big ole fahking monkeys bout to yug down on the city. 

Magneto enters the city with a metal bender at his side ready to conquer the entire city himself (he bout to do some serious work. Sorry not sorry zach).  He is met by 6 Guardian Knights.  They begin to launch an attack but are instantly crushed by Magneto and the lone metal bender.  

“These Transformers don’t stand a chance against the likes of me” says Magneto as he maniacally laughs. 

Montagne, Fuzz, and John Wick begin to breach buildings looking for lone assassin’s.  They are only to be met by Blue Marvel.  Who is not affected by the cluster charges let off by Fuze. 

“This isn’t working” screams John Wick.

Montagne continues the charge in which he is one hit by Blue Marvel as he is just a regular human.  John Wick begins hand to hand combat where he is finally not the favorite.  On the brink of death Wick jumps out the window of the building luckily landing safely other than sustained injuries from the fight.  

Quicksilver and Johnny Quick are amazed at the speed of each other and have been racing this entire story.  Just thought I’d say it.

Superwoman, Owlman, and Batwing then take on Sentry.

“You’re destroying the entire city, why?” yells a frustrated Superwoman

“This is nothing to us.  We want power”

“So this is political?  We hate politics around here.” says Superwoman.

Superwoman then leaps at sentry beginning even more of the destruction.  The strength and speed from the two alone are shaking nearby buildings.  Owlman and Batwing waiting for their opportunity to help superwoman are met by quicksilver who killed Johnny Quick during their race. Owlman and Batwing go back to back as they cannot see Quicksilver do to his speed.  

“He stopped I don’t see him anymore” says Owlman

Morg then approached them with Quicksilver in hand as he was able to catch him.  They then proceeded to give him a Detroit style curb side stomping in honor of Johnny Quick.  

They then hear the cries of a woman. 

“That was superwoman.” said owlman.

“We have to continue on.  She can hold her own.” said Batwing

Little did they know they were the cries of her death as Dr.Manhattan had joined Sentry who was on the brink of death from his fight with superwoman.  The Kongs know a cry for help when they hear it though and rush over.  Dr.Manhattan is now in a battle with some apes. 

He thinks less of himself now that he is fighting animals for political gain.

Steppenwolf also joins the apes in the fight against Manhattan.  Steppenwolf, knowing the politics of Earth had only seen this destruction coming for many years and has been ready.  They begin to attack the lone Dr.Manhattan.  The amount of strength from Kong and Steppenwolf aren’t enough to take him down though.  Dr.Manhattan is able to throw one of the Kongs killing him on impact.  

Magneto seeing an ape fly through the sky knew it was trouble and instantly headed into that direction.  Only to be met by more transformers on his way there.  

Magneto laughs in excitement “Let’s up the kill count shall we” as he is able to crush the remaining transformers with the help of his metal bender side kick.  

“You own the power of destruction but I own the power of creation”

“Who said that?” says Magneto 

“Me” as The Monitor appears from the shadows.  

Magneto out of anger begins to launch attacks but they all miss as The Monitor can see is coming.  

“You are nothing but a child in an adults body” says the Monitor 

“I am power” says an angered Magneto 

Magneto then begins to destroy everything around them but The Monitor attacks are quick and precise leaving magneto badly injured.  His metal bender side kick tried to step in but got manhandled by the eons old Monitor.  

The fight with Manhattan continued on as Magneto was never able to make it.  For the Assassins it looked grim as they haven't had any contact with the rest of their team as all communication has been destroyed through the city. Tornedron and Father have arrived at the city but are on the other side, The Monitor had just fought Magneto, and Manhattan who Blue Marvel thinks is the only one alive.  

Blue Marvel begins to see Manhattan lose the fight as there are too many of the Striders and has to pull out his only option.  He pulls out what looks like a phone and presses a button.  The micro nuke has been released.  

The entire city has been destroyed with everyone inside it besides Blue Marvel who is able to withstand the blasts because of his ability to manipulate matter.  Manhattan has a similar power but wasn’t ready to do so with the damage he sustained within the battle.

Blue Marvel then decides his only option is to travel to the forest to look for survivors as he did not meet with them before letting the nuke off in the city killing his own team.  Upon entering the forest he saw the bodies of his enemies and allies, but only one was breathing.  It was Freddy.  Blue Marvel instantly rushes to see if he can help save Freddy.

Freddy begins to laugh sinisterly “if only you knew” and Freddy then proceeds to take the life of Blue Marvel.  

Blue Marvel, stunned and amazed, says “why are you doing this and how?”

Freddy with a grin says “because I’m not actually Freddy.  I was able to take over his body.  His nightmares weakened his mind and he became mine.  I am abeloth the true bringer of chaos”
