Molly tossed and turned as she slept in her bed. The blankets were now covered in sweat and her body was on fire.

She saw haunting visions. Those that scared her mind and made her shake. Things that she had never seen before.

She had no idea if they were her own dreams, or Toxin's. The dark magic that was still bound to him was now plaguing her mind.

You are not dreaming, Molly Hayes. Listen. These are the most important words you will ever hear.

Your enemy is named Apoth. You just kill a God.

Molly: W-W-Who are you?!

Do not ask my name! When Abraham heard the voice of truth, he did not ask. He listened. He placed his child on the slab. He raised the knife.

I am truth.

And you are not dreaming.

You'll wither here, Molly, in the bosom of Y/N's peace.

Molly cried out as her mind began to scream at her.

Mankind is evolving itself. Apoth is the tertragammaton. The new name of God.

And by peace shall he unite all and destroy many.

Go to New York. The train. It began with the train.

Stop him.

This is not a dream.

Molly's eyes shot open and she sat up. She breathed deeply as she looked around her room.

Toxin: What was that?

Molly: I.....I don't know.

That, was a calling.

Monster:
Cabal War

Y/N: Here we are. The, uh, Light House.

You and your small team looked at the magical Light House that served as both the home base for Captain Britain and the gates of Avalon.

Brian: Well, there you are, Strikers.

You smiled as you shook the hand of Captain Britan. Brian, as you learned.

Y/N: Hello, Brian. It's good to see you again.

Brian: Likewise. I'm actually really glad you're here.

Wanda: Why is that?

Brian sighed. It seems like the problem may be worse than you thought.

Brian: Well, it seems that something appeared. A gateway.

Y/N: Yeah. We put it here after you....

Brian: It's not from us. It's from the Otherworld, not to it. Previous attempts to utilize the gate have failed. If we had a foreign object, something that regularly traveled between such worlds....

Y/N: You mean your amulet?

Brian nodded.

Brian: Though, I wouldn't advise separating me from the source of my power. I think I should go with you, but just you.

The others seemed a bit surpised, but you just signaled for them to stand down. Brian was right. You didn't know what you were getting yourself into. Maybe it would be best for you to go in with Brian first.

Besides, you could always just come back if things were as bad as they seemed.

Y/N: You guys just head back to base for now. I'll signal you on our cards when we get a better look at things.

Wanda was hesitant to obey, but she stepped back. She spoke to the others and they all stayed back while you and Brian apporched a clear space.

Brian: Okay. This normally feels weird for first timers. Try not to freak out.

Y/N: No problem.

Brian: For Avalon.

Y/N: For Avalon.

A bright purple light formed a a dome around you both.

Yeah, it definitely felt weird.
---------------
Victor: A vision? From some magic source?

Molly: It wasn't a dream, dad.

Victor was worried. Of course he was. Molly had nearly died merely a week ago, and now she was having strange dreams.

It must've been from the dark magic that was still in Toxin's DNA.

Victor crossed his arms and looked at the young girl.

Victor: So, what do you want to do? Y/N isn't here right now. If he was, he would find some way to deal with it, but he's off doing some magic quest.

Damn kid.

Molly: I need to leave. I need to know if this is real.

Victor raised a brow. He then shook his head.

Victor: No. Not going to happen. The world is still crazy after the War and I don't need you running around chasing dreams on your own. Especially when you're still recovering.

Molly: This wasn't a dream, dad. And we're no safer from it then we were with the war.

Victor chuckled.

Victor: I like this new you. Fearless. Certain. But you're still too young. And I'm now responsible for you. While you can't start a Striker mission, you can head to Laura and see if she thinks it's worth looking into. She might find this interesting.

Molly looked at the large man confused.

Molly: Wait, you're helping me break the rules?

Victor shrugged.

Victor: Breaking rules is how we get things done. I'm still hurting over the war, so I may spout things I'll forget about.

Molly smiled and hugged the former killer.

Molly: Thank you.

Victor patted her back and began to walk away.

Victor: Don't thank me. I didn't do anything.
----------
You could feel the magic all around you. The moment you and Brian arrived in Camelot, you could feel the magical energy hit your body.

You shivered.

Y/N: I will never get used to teleporting through magical portals.

Brian: Me neither.

Once you shook it off, you rose to your feet and looked around. You kind of expected Camelot to be......nicer.

The walls were dark. The ground was cracked. Whatever happened here, it killed the light. Like a sickness had sucked dry all the magic.

Brian: What happened here?

Y/N: I don't know. Do you think this is why that knight was peeping on us?

Morgan: Yes, indeed. Behold the pollution of my waters.

You and Brian looked around confused. You did just hear a lady talking right now, right? You didn't just imagine that.

Suddenly, the doors burst open and several Knights rushed into the room. You popped out your claws while Brian drew his sword. The Knights surrounded you with their weapons drawn.

Then, Morgan entered the room.

Brian: Morgan.....

Morgan: You will address me as Queen Morgan Le Fay, subject. You still serve me.

You looked to Brian for an answer. Instead, he bowed his head.

Brian: Yes, my queen. But what happened here? Why is Camelot in such ruin?

Morgan looked to you for a moment. She narrowed her eyes before she began to approch you. She moved so swiftly that it looked almost like she was floating.

She finally reached you and placed a hand on your cheek.

Morgan: Monster. That is you, is it not?

You eyed her suspiciously before you nodded.

Y/N: It is.

Morgan: Good.

You suddenly felt a sharp pain in your chest. You looked down to see that she had driven her nails into your skin. You grabbed her wrist, but you suddenly felt a surge of magic cross through your body.

You dropped to your knees and cried out. Did your senses not work with magic? What kind of bullshit was that?!

Brian: Y/N!

He moved to help, but Morgan swung her hand at him. Brian was suddenly frozen in place by a strange dark force.

Morgan then looked back at you.

Morgan: You were the one who made a fool out of my lover. Victor Von Doom.

You shook as you began to look up at her.

Y/N: You....slept....with....that....dork?

Morgan: Cute.

The surge grew worse as a black mark began to spread across your chest. You felt it start to tighten which only served to create more pain.

Morgan: That is a curse. With it attached to you, you will find that your powers will not work here.

You looked at your hand and tried to pop out your claws, but they were blocked. No fire, no ice, no electricity, no Manhattan Armor. You flexed your hand to try and get your nails out, but they were gone as well.

Y/N: What....the....fuck?!

You rolled over and pushed yourself back up. You balled your fists and held them up.

Y/N: I....can...still...kick...your...ass!

You went to attack, but Morgan simply waved her hand. You were suddenly flown across the room where you slammed against the stone wall.

You hit the ground and groaned.

Morgan then walked over to Brian where she grabbed his amulet.

Morgan: You cannot hurt me, Monster. I have my knight to protect me.

The black magic suddenly began to surround Brian in full which made him cry out. You watched as his uniform began to loose all color and change into a dark, evil version of what it once was.

Then, he stopped moving.

Morgan stepped away while Brian stayed still.

Y/N: Brian?

His eyes suddenly opened, now glowing a bright green. Morgan then looked over to you and smirked.

Morgan: Kill him.

Brian: Yes, my queen.

Your eyes grew wide.

Maybe you should've brought your team with you.
------------
Laura: You're having nightmares about tragedies? You think it's worth looking into because you think they might be connected?

Molly nodded. She sat across from Laura in the War Room. The lights were on low since that was how Laura liked to work. The other Laura, the Old Laura, was off looking into something else.
Aura had her back back the younger girl. She was watching the monitors.. Everyone was pretty much busy with their own stuff. Even Robbie was off in some other world helping a Spider-Man version of you*.

(*Go and Read the Spider Wars arc in both The New Spider-Man and the Astonishing Spider-Man!)

Even your task force was on stand by over at the Light House. That left very few people around to spare.

Laura: You know we don't have the manpower to spare to go on some dream quest. We have to have some people on stand by in case the Cabal attacks.

Molly: Then keep them here. We just need permission to use the jet or the boat or some kind of way to get to New York to see what's happening.

Laura: You're definitely not getting access to the jet or any other vehicles. Ask Victor....

Molly: We did. He said no. Then he told us to talk to you.

Laura stopped scanning and looked over her shoulder. Molly stood there firm.

Laura: You want me to help you break the rules?

Molly: Like you haven't broken the rules yourself?

Laura smirked a bit. Her smile then faded.

Laura: Molly, when you were nearly killed, what did that switch in you?

Molly: We're trying to prevent the apocalypse!

Laura: Apocalypse is a blue man with a short temper, Molly. And I pray that you never meet him.

She finally turned around to face the young girl. Toxin appeared on Molly's shoulder, which surpised Laura. She couldn't really recall the last time she had seen Toxin since the War.

Toxin: Aunt Laura, we have to stop what's about to happen!

Laura: Tox, I....

Toxin: If we don't then people will die!

Laura could hear the desperation in his voice. She looked at the two for a moment before she sighed. She then tossed something onto the table and turned away.

Laura: That's a key to the gateways. Don't take it when I'm not looking.

Molly watched Laura as she pretended to pay attention to the monitors. The younger girl smiled as Toxin grabbed the key.

Molly: Thank you, Laura.

Laura: I didn't do anything, Molly. Now let me work.

Molly nodded and left the room.
------------------
Wanda tapped her foot impatiently while the others hung around. They were waiting for you to make a call.

Crystal: He's been in there for a while now.

Pearl: Yeah, should we go in? Can we go in?

Loki: I can go wherever I please. I'm Loki. Who's gonna stop me?

The girls looked to Wanda. A red glow danced around her fingertips.

Wanda: He wouldn't go this long without communication. Something is wrong.

Wanda clenched her hand which caused the red magic to vanish. She stood up and walked over to where you and Brian had teleported.

Pearl: So, what do we do?

Wanda: We follow our leader.

Wanda closed her eyes and clapped her hands together. She then began to expand her hands to create a magical portal to Camelot.

In the throne room, you clenched your chest as Brian approached you with his sword. You needed to think of some way to get out of this.

Oh, magic portal.

The red portal opened in the middle of the throne room and your team jumped through.

Morgan: Intruders.

Pearl: Woah! Camelot's real! Something new everyday.

Loki: The magic here, it's disgusting. You should all be ashamed for how you represent yourselves.

Everyone looked at him.

Y/N: Dude.

Your team then looked over to you. Loki just waved.

Loki: Tally ho, my Godslaying brother!

Wanda: Y/N!

Y/N: Hey...guys...

Morgan: The Strikers. Well, now, this is perfect. I can destroy you all in one go.

Dark magic began to surround the room and spread through the Knights. Their eyes all began to glow bright green as they lifted their weapons.

The others stood guard as Crystal lifted you up.

Morgan: Now, my loyal Knights, KILL THE STRIKERS!
