Mission 1

"The Eclipse may be more than just a rare celestial occurrence. Hit the streets to give Dr. Strange the time he needs to investigate the mystery."
— Mission Preview

Mission Start

Maria Hill:

Agent, you might have noticed the eclipse that started yesterday... and didn't go away. Someone or something has tidally locked the Earth and Moon, keeping us shadowed here in New York.

Agent Coulson:

In London it's even stranger. The sun's not coming up there.

Dr. Strange:

This is an enchantment. I know not, as yet, who has done it... but the sudden appearance of vampires is an unsubtle hint.

Nick Fury:

Vampires?

Dr. Strange:

Demons as well.

Nick Fury:

Come on, Strange. You didn't just astrally project yourself here to pass the time. What's going on?

Dr. Strange:

I am here to warn you, Director. The eclipse madness will infect not just the vampires and demons--though they would be hazard enough--but the more mundane criminals of the city as well.

Nick Fury:

We'll stay on top of it. Can you do anything about this enchantment?

Dr. Strange:

I can... as soon as I have discerned its nature. I will begin at once.

Nick Fury:

Very good. People, I would like the vampire and demon population of this area reduced to zero. Move.

Tony Stark:

Let me know if you run into Kolchak. We'll bring him on board.

Screen Text

Emergency responders trying to coordinate help for people at the edge of the eclipse zone are running into some toothy problems. Send a hero to cover them while they try to help people get out of the darkened area.

Medusa has just informed us that she captured a vampire right after they first appeared. Let's help her get it to a secure interrogation facility.

Start

Agent Coulson:

Agent, Medusa was one of our first field assets to encounter a vampire. She's got it wrapped up in her hair. Get it to a secure facility so we can interrogate it.

Medusa:

This was hardly the way I anticipated joining this battle.

Tony Stark:

No, it's great. I wish we had more people who could hair-cuff vampires.

Complete

Medusa:

I have released it into the custody of... what did you call them?

Agent Coulson:

Our Occult Debriefing and Interrogation Unit.

Medusa:

Right.

Screen Text

We've got an astronomical simulation going that should outline the area of full eclipse. But we won't know for sure until we send a hero to run a Quinjet around that perimeter and find out exactly where the darkness ends.

Deploy 4

Screen Text

We're combing S.H.I.E.L.D. records to see if there are any friendly vampires we might be able to bring in. Blade's an obvious one, but is there anyone else?

Start

Agent Coulson:

We're going to see if there are any vampires out there we can bring in on our side. But we need some help reaching out to potential candidates. Well, first we need help locating them. Nico, we could use a hand.

Nico Minoru:

A friendly vampire census? I always thought missions for S.H.I.E.L.D. would be more exciting.

Complete

Agent Coulson:

Is Hannibal King still around? What about Spitfire?

Nico Minoru:

I'm still working on it. Do these people even have cell phones?

The National Park Service just called in an SOS from Liberty Island. Get Gorgon down there and make sure the rangers aren't demon food.

Start

Tony Stark:

We've got an emergency distress call from the Park Service on Liberty Island. Gorgon, we're stretched a little thin. Maybe you can jump down there and stamp out whatever problem they're having?

Gorgon:

I will. Then I'll come back here and stamp out your impulse to make stupid puns.

Tony Stark:

Well, wouldn't that be a kick in the teeth.

Complete

Gorgon:

The demons won't be a problem any more.

Tony Stark:

Much appreciated, Gorgon. We appreciate the steps you've taken to help out.

Gorgon:

I warned you--

Tony Stark:

Okay, sorry. Okay. I couldn't resist. That was the last one.

MiniBoss - Jack O'Lantern

Reveal

Agent Coulson:

Spider-Man, we're tracking Jack O'Lantern, who has just received something from a demon at this location. Swing by and relieve him of his package, if you would.

Spider-Man:

Um, sure. Is this going to involve fighting demons, too? I need to know if I should wear my demon-fighting pants.

Agent Coulson:

There are quite a few demons around. Plan your wardrobe accordingly.

Start

Spider-Man:

Hey, Jack, we hear you're having tea with demons. You know that's not cool, right?

Spider-Man, is there something about your blood? The demons got all excited when they smelled you.

Jack O'Lantern:

Spider-Man:

It's so nice to be wanted. Hey! Watch the fangs and spikes!

Lose

This is my time of year, web-head. I'm feeling strong!

Jack O'Lantern:

Repeat

My pals here were hoping to get another bite at you.

Jack O'Lantern:

Complete

Spider-Man:

I know busting pumpkins is vandalism, but sometimes I just can't resist.

Uuhhhh...

Jack O'Lantern:

Spider-Man:

The thing Jack got from the demons was a key. I'd bring it back, but one of the demons swallowed it and ran off.

Maria Hill:

Hold tight there while we collect Jack O'Lantern.

Tony Stark:

A key? Forgive me if I don't like the sound of demons handing out keys. I mean, what are they going to unlock?

Maria Hill:

Spider-Man, forget what I said about staying there. Find that demon and see where it's taking the key.

Spider-Man:

Roger that, S.H.I.E.L.D. boss lady.

MiniBoss - Grey Gargoyle

Back to top ↑

Reveal

Spider-Man:

I found Grey Gargoyle. He just had a little tete-a-tete with a vampire and a demon. I guess that makes it a tete-a-tete-a-tete. Anyway, one of them gave him something.

Tony Stark:

Good, precise intel as always.

Nick Fury:

Engage, Spider-Man. We have reason to believe Jack O'Lantern and Grey Gargoyle are both on a mission for the Hood.

Spider-Man:

We do? Exciting. I'll see what yon Gargoyle has to say about that.

Start

Away, Spider-Man. Run to the sun if you want to live.

Grey Gargoyle:

Spider-Man:

I'd kind of rather bring the sun back here. Won't you miss stuff like flowers and rainbows? I know I would. So I'm going to have to ask you to hand over whatever you got from the Fang and Claw Club back there.

Lose

Now if Jack O'Lantern has completed his errand, we may begin...

Grey Gargoyle:

Repeat

Now the vampires have your scent. I told you to run.

Grey Gargoyle:

Complete

Spider-Man:

Too many vampires. I mean, one would be too many, really, but there were too many for me to stop Grey Gargoyle from getting away.

Nick Fury:

Stay on him. If our intel is good, he's going to meet the Hood.

Spider-Man:

I hear and obey, O Mighty Leader.

Boss - Morbius

Back to top ↑

Reveal

Spider-Man:

It's everybody's favorite fake vampire, Doctor Michael Morbius. Don't look now--ugh, seriously, don't. He kind of fell off the no-blood-drinking wagon.

Maria Hill:

There might be a chance to gain some intel about the vampires here, Spider-Man.

Nick Fury:

Slap some sense into Morbius and see if we can get him on our side.

Spider-Man:

But I don't have my counseling license. I'll get sued.

Start

Spider-Man:

Whoa. Morbius. Didn't you have some kind of serum you made so you didn't have to go around gnawing on people's veins?

I cannot fight my nature. Leave me, or I will feed on you next!

Morbius:

Spider-Man:

So the serum didn't work, is what you're saying.

Don't you judge me. I tried... how I tried... but the air is thick with the scent of blood, and vampires run rampant. How am I to resist? I must feed!

Morbius:

Spider-Man:

Oh boy. This is going to be harder than I thought.

In-Fight

Spider-Man:

Hey! Knucklehead! You're not a real vampire! Remember? Snap out of it!

So hungry... ow!

Morbius:

Lose

This hunger... I can't control it. Must feed...

Morbius:

Repeat

Spider-Man:

I thought we had an agreement. You don't drink people's blood and S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't put you in a cage.

Complete

Spider-Man:

I don't like hitting you, but--well, actually, I do like hitting you, but I know I shouldn't. What I'm trying to say is I'll stop if you drop the vampire act and tell me about the real vampires.

You mean Dracula.

Morbius:

Spider-Man:

Dracula? Um, yeah. I didn't know I meant that, but yeah, that's totally what I mean.

Who else can keep vampires and demons from going after each other? Only the big guys. Dracula and Mephisto. Doesn't take a genius to see that. They've cast a spell to hold London in darkness... and New York in shadow. As long as it stays dark, humans in New York and London are going to be a food supply.

Morbius:

Spider-Man:

And you think Dracula is going to let you join the party?

That's what I... no. I know he won't. I was just... hungry.

Morbius:

Spider-Man:

Then you need to come on in and we'll get you some help.

Epic Boss - The Hood

Back to top ↑

Reveal

Agent Coulson:

Now we know what the Grey Gargoyle and Jack O'Lantern were up to: Scouting locations for the Hood to have his own little demon rally. Grey Gargoyle and the demon that was with Jack O'Lantern just opened a portal and flooded this area with demons.

Tony Stark:

The good news is they're fighting the vampires. The bad news is the Hood just stepped out of the portal with more demons. We need to shut it down, like, yesterday.

Dr. Strange:

I will do it. Parker Robbins does nothing on his own. We must discover which demons he has allied himself with this time... although I suspect Mephisto.

Maria Hill:

That's what Morbius said, that Mephisto and Dracula were in on this together.

Dr. Strange:

It shall be confirmed shortly--or new information brought to light.

Start

Strange, I figured you'd watch from the comfy confines of the Sanctum Sanctorum. Getting your hands dirty already?

The Hood:

Dr. Strange:

The dirt on my hands, to borrow your phrase, is quite innocuous in comparison to the blood on yours, Robbins. You have made yourself the instrument of diabolical powers, and you must answer for that. By the Vishanti, you must answer for it!

Lose

I don't see any Vishanti around, Strange. You know what I do see? Lots and lots of demons. You've got a problem, pal.

The Hood:

Repeat

Bet you never expected to see the Moon turned into a weapon, did you? Wait'll you see what comes next.

The Hood:

Complete

Dr. Strange:

I have closed the portal, but the Hood escaped through it... to whatever demonic realm he is using as a recruiting ground.

Maria Hill:

Do we know he's working with Mephisto? Or could he have his own plan?

Dr. Strange:

He channels the powers of the Nisanti. That race of demons is not one of Mephisto's creations... but that does not rule out an alliance of convenience.

Agent Coulson:

We'll see what Jack O'Lantern knows about it. He's probably been stewing on the Raft long enough to be chatty.

Epic Boss - The Hood/Dormammu

Back to top ↑

Reveal

Dr. Strange:

Now we face Dormammu and the Hood together. Robbins has sought new allies now that his previous partnership proved insufficient. We too should add to our ranks. Eric Brooks?

Blade:

I'm along for the ride. Long as there aren't any vampires, I'll get some exercise with demons.

Start

Dr. Strange:

Dread Dormammu, you scavenge at Mephisto's leftovers? I had thought you possessed of more pride.

Pride enough that your gibes do not shake me, Strange. They tell me only that you are desperate.

Dormammu:

Yeah, nobody's got a bigger mouth than a scared little man.

The Hood:

Blade:

Desperate? Hardly. You saved us the trouble of hunting you down in the Dark Dimension.

Oh, you will see the Dark Dimension soon enough. I will bring it to you all...

Dormammu:

Lose

Now vampire and demon alike will answer to Dormammu!

Dormammu:

Complete

Dr. Strange:

Dormammu, it seems, has not fully committed to your cause, Parker Robbins.

Go to hell.

The Hood:

Blade:

What's the line from Faustus... "Why this is hell, nor am I out of it."

Brits. Always quoting poetry. Okay, Strange, you got me. Let's see how long you can keep me.

The Hood:

Mission Complete

Dr. Strange:

It is as I feared. Dracula and Mephisto have combined their powers to perform this eclipse ritual. Morbius confirms it.

Spider-Man:

We've got him in some kind of Blood-Drinkers Anonymous. As long as we can keep him on the program, he'll help. So at least we've got that going for us.

Dr. Strange:

A crucial update. Have you more news or may I proceed?

Spider-Man:

Yup. Go ahead.

Dr. Strange:

Good. To the matter at hand: I can end it and restore the normal diurnal course of the sun... but I will need a few things.

Nick Fury:

Such as?

Dr. Strange:

Much of the necessary material I already possess... but there is a certain book in the possession of the Hellfire Club in London. It is known as the Darkhold. While I prepare the enchantment, someone must bring it to the Sanctum Sanctorum.

Dr. Strange:

Also, there are certain... components... that will easily be found here in New York.

Spider-Man:

Rat tails? Bedbug eggs?

Dr. Strange:

Demon parts. I will give you a list.

Tony Stark:

Demon parts. By the pricking of my thumbs, et cetera and so on. Okay, Agent, we're splitting up.

Nick Fury:

Hill and Coulson, you're staying here. Stark and I will handle things in London. Let's get Strange his demon parts and get the sun coming up again.

Nick Fury:

Back in the smoke, Agent, we've got an excellent guide here to the habits and vulnerabilities of the vampire. Meet Eric Brooks, better known as Blade. He's from London and he's half vampire, so he's going to be an asset to us in several different ways. Blade, thanks for coming in.

Blade:

If you're here to kill vampires, you're in the right place.

Nick Fury:

Psylocke will be leading Strike Team Lamia here in London. We'll also have Fantomex--and Blade. We don't want to waste his expertise. Your primary task is to locate and collect The Darkhold. We know it's in London, and we suspect the Hellfire Club has it. Strange needs it to conduct the ritual that will counter what Dracula and Mephisto have done.

Blade:

But along the way, we're going to kill a large number of vampires Ready, Agent? Let's move. Dawn's not going to come if we don't find this book.

Psylocke:

I'll canvas Hellfire Club houses and see if we can't do this the easiest way. Sebastian Shaw is a sociopath, but even he might find a permanently nocturnal London full of vampires an inconvenience.

MiniBoss - Selene

Back to top ↑

Reveal

Blade:

Looking for Dracula, but who did I find? Selene. Seems our vampires have a little help from the Hellfire Club.

Nick Fury:

Take her out. If nothing else, it'll send a message to Dracula and Shaw that friendships have consequences.

Start

Blade:

Selene. Making friends with the bloodsuckers?

I don't have any friends, Blade. Dracula has... asked a favor of Sebastian. I have my own aims to pursue.

Selene:

Blade:

Dracula has a deal with Mephisto. What's he need Shaw for?

You'll have to ask him. Or ask Sebastian.

Selene:

Blade:

I'll do that, once I'm through with you.

Fool. No one is ever through with me, unless I decide they are.

Selene:

Lose

You chase vampires. Adorable. Meanwhile others have set their sights on greater goals.

Selene:

Repeat

Blade:

If you're stopping me from killing vampires, that puts you on the wrong side. Bad decision.

Complete

You're quite determined. Perhaps I should give you want you want... although you might not want it once you have it.

Selene:

Blade:

Enough riddles. Where's Shaw?

Watch me go, and I'll show you.

Selene:

Blade:

S.H.I.E.L.D.: Vampires are down. Selene is gone.

Tony Stark:

She'll be running to tell Shaw we're looking for him. Psylocke, step up your search.

Psylocke:

If you think you can do it faster, you're welcome to try.

Tony Stark:

I'm just offering some gentle encouragement, and a reminder that vampires and demons are, you know, feeding on people.

Psylocke:

Oh, do tell. I hadn't any idea of that. I shall hurry!

Nick Fury:

What's with you two?

Tony Stark:

Don't ask me. Some people don't appreciate my leadership qualities.

MiniBoss - Mystique

Reveal

Psylocke:

Hellfire Club gathering spots have turned up empty so far... until now. Mystique is here.

Tony Stark:

Shaw wouldn't trust her with the book, would he?

Psylocke:

I should think not. On the other hand, he's not known for his predictability.

Nick Fury:

If you think the book might be there, go in. If not, keep looking. This will be simpler if we can go straight to the top.

Start

Psylocke:

This doesn't have to be violent... as much as both of us might like that. I'm looking for a book. Sebastian Shaw either has it or knows where it is. So I need to know where he is.

You're a turncoat and Nick Fury's plaything. The only thing you're going to get here is a shortcut to a coffin.

Mystique:

Psylocke:

I suppose it does have to get violent, then. Can't say I didn't try.

Lose

You got a little more than you bargained for, didn't you, traitor?

Mystique:

Repeat

Psylocke:

Maybe you don't have the book. But now you've made this personal.

Complete

Psylocke:

While Blade's off hacking away at vampires, I'm doing all the hard work, it seems.

Tony Stark:

Poor thing. Any sign of the book?

Psylocke:

It's not here. Mystique? If you want to walk out of here, start talking.

I know Shaw's not himself. That means opportunity. I don't care about vampires, or the book.

Mystique:

Psylocke:

Then stay clear of S.H.I.E.L.D. until we've made our contact with Shaw.

Deal. As long as you stay clear of me.

Mystique:

Nick Fury:

Psylocke, we know where Shaw is. If we can get the book from him without restarting a war with the Hellfire Club, I'd prefer to do that.

Psylocke:

You'll forgive me if I don't have much faith that this plan will work.

Nick Fury:

Oh, I'm real forgiving, as long as orders are followed.

Psylocke:

For once I took the simple approach and just knocked on the door. Shaw has invited me in.

Nick Fury:

The team goes with you. Don't get into a long conversation with him, Psylocke. Get the book and get out.

Psylocke:

He's--his mind is under someone else's control, Fury. I can tell.

Tony Stark:

I love this. The master plotter Sebastian Shaw, turned into someone else's cat's-paw.

Start

Psylocke:

Shaw, I'm here for a book called the Darkhold. We know you have it. Strange needs it, or we're not going to see the sun around here for a long time.

Catering to Doctor Strange's interests is not one of my preferred activities. Now, if there's nothing else...

Sebastian Shaw:

Psylocke:

Don't tell me you're happy to have London turned into a vampire playground.

I feel no particular impulse to discuss my happiness with you. The Hellfire Club keeps its own counsel and makes its own decisions.

Sebastian Shaw:

Psylocke:

And chooses the wrong side with astonishing consistency. Hand over the book.

I will not.

Sebastian Shaw:

Psylocke:

Then you're about to learn an unpleasant truth, Sebastian.

Lose

This will be the extent of my dealings with S.H.I.E.L.D. on this matter, I trust?

Sebastian Shaw:

Repeat

I grow impatient with this interference.

Sebastian Shaw:

Complete

Dracula... this means a war. Even he cannot shrug off the Hellfire Club. Take the book. If you kill Dracula with it, I will be the first to congratulate you. Now go.

Sebastian Shaw:

Psylocke:

Fury. I have the book.

Tony Stark:

Get it back here pronto. Do not pass Go, do not--

Psylocke:

I was talking to Fury.

Tony Stark:

Oh, well, I'm sure he'll tell you to take your time and maybe read passages aloud while you stroll back here.

Nick Fury:

Psylocke. Bicker with Stark another time. Stark. Shut up. We need that book.

Psylocke:

Spitfire's not one of them, is she?

Jack O'Lantern confirmed that Mephisto and the Hood aren't working together.

Agent Coulson:

In fact what he said was, "Mephisto? I'da steered clear of this if I'd known Mephisto was involved."

Maria Hill:

The Hood's going to need himself some new lackeys.

Agent Coulson:

Or Mephisto's going to make him an offer he can't refuse.

Maria Hill:

Either way, we'll need to be on guard for both of them while we start collecting demon parts for Strange. Spider-Man, here's the list.

Reveal

Maria Hill:

Baron Mordo has unleashed Blackheart. While we're collecting demon parts, Blackheart's collecting souls.

Dr. Strange:

Mordo is working a powerful ritual to open a permanent portal from Mephisto's realm to ours.

Agent Coulson:

Permanent as in we wouldn't be able to close it?

Dr. Strange:

Precisely. It is only possible as long as the moon is held in place, but if that portal is opened, Mephisto's legions will march through it a hundred at a time.

Agent Coulson:

That's a pretty vivid picture. Agent, we still need those demon parts, but your number one priority is interrupting Mordo's ritual.

Maria Hill:

I don't think any of us want to live in a world permanently linked to Mephisto's level of hell.

Start

Spider-Man:

Morbius, ol' buddy ol' pal, let's fight us a demon.

Blackheart, you've taken enough souls for today.

In the count of harvested souls, there is no such thing as enough.

I don't always know myself.

Whatever life force you possess, I will feed on it as it leaves your body.

Morbius:

I may not have a soul anymore, but if I do, I'll put it on the line.

Complete

Morbius:

Blackheart is dispelled. Is that enough to stop Mordo?

Maria Hill:

We don't know. The only way to be sure is to go after Mordo and make sure he doesn't finish his ritual.

Agent Coulson:

Strange has pinpointed his location. He doesn't look to be slowing down, so either he has enough souls or he's trying to open the portal anyway.

Maria Hill:

We can't take the chance that it'll work. Go after him.

Dr. Strange:

He is gone. One wonders what sort of welcome Mephisto will offer.

Maria Hill:

Mephisto needs Mordo, doesn't he?

Dr. Strange:

He does, yes. But that will not prevent him from inflicting punishment. Those who pledge themselves to Mephisto find that no failure comes without great pain.

Agent Coulson:

And we thought the boss was hard on us.

Spider-Man:

How'd we do?

Agent Coulson:

We've got most of what Strange needs. Also, there's no permament demon superhighway open into the heart of Manhattan.

Spider-Man:

So pretty good, right?

Maria Hill:

Yeah. Pretty good. But we haven't seen Mephisto yet. When he's done taking out his frustrations on Baron Mordo, he'll have another trick up his sleeve. Get these demon parts to Strange and we'll figure it out from there. What's the word from London?

Agent Coulson:

Communications aren't so good with all the occult interference. We'll have to wait until they get back to find out how things went. What we can do right here is make sure Strange has what he needs until the book gets here.

Tony Stark:

I should have known we weren't going to get out of here easy.

Blade:

Dracula has shown his hand. He knows we have the book and he doesn't want it to get back to New York. So he's pulled a mind-control stunt and we've got Black Knight, Union Jack and Captain Britain all standing between us and a clean getaway.

Nick Fury:

MI-13 is lending us a new Quinjet, but there's a catch: They won't clear us for takeoff until we break whatever spell these three are under. The clock's ticking, people.

Deploy 1

We're cut off. Make contact with every member of the strike team to make sure our communications aren't compromised.

Black Knight's just disabled MI-13's flight control facility. He's got vampires with him. We're not going to get far with them running MI-13's air traffic.

Blade:

I'm ready. Vampires shouldn't be much trouble, but I don't want to hurt Dane any more than I have to.

Nick Fury:

Is there any special technique to break mind control?

Blade:

Other than killing the vampire who did it? Not really. Couple of sharp blows to the head works sometimes.

Nick Fury:

Then give that a try.

Start

Blade:

Dane. You in there?

Hand over the book and live... at least, as long as Dracula permits it.

Tony Stark:

Psylocke? Your brother's headed right for you. We can't get to the Quinjet until we get--

Psylocke:

Yes. I know. Although one wonders why you can't just fly bloody commercial.

Tony Stark:

I'm sorry, have we met? Commercial? Me?

Start

Yield up the book and your S.H.I.E.L.D. allies may depart. Not you, though, I'm afraid. The Braddock twins are needed here. Dracula has need of the book, my sister. Let us not bicker.

Captain Britain:

Psylocke:

Oh, we won't bicker, Bri. What we're going to do is much more fun than that. We're going to fight. You and me, no holds barred. Because that's the only way I'm going to snap your mind out of Dracula's control.

Then you face the powers of the Otherworld.

Psylocke:

Wouldn't have it any other way.

Captain Britain:

Well done, Betsy. Let's go get the bastard.

Psylocke:

Sounds good to me.

Nick Fury:

Hold on. If you're going to take Dracula on directly, you might want to make sure the rest of Excalibur is in their right minds.

Blade:

Or we can take the shortcut and restore them by putting a stake through Dracula.

Nick Fury:

That's another option. I'm just saying, think it through.

Tony Stark:

Did you bring the book? If not, you'd better go get it. I'll count to a hundred before I start wrecking Quinjets.

Union Jack:

That was a hell of a wallop... but I guess I ought to thank you.

Fantomex:

You're welcome. Any Dracula left in your head?

No apology necessary. We've all been mind-controlled here and there. Occupational hazard.

Blade:

It's called a glamor.

Tony Stark:

What's called a glamor?

Blade:

That vampire mind control.

Tony Stark:

Oh. Well, don't get glamored, then.

I imagine you're having quite the time, vampire hunter. When was the last time you had so many targets to choose from?

Dracula:

Retire someplace quiet where the dead stay dead.

What a charming idea.

That explains the vanishing in a puff of smoke.

Blade:

Fog, Stark. He turns into fog.

Tony Stark:

Looked like a puff of smoke to me, but I'm no expert.

Nick Fury:

Get to the Quinjet. If Dracula skipped out on this fight, he'll be waiting for us in New York. Count on it.

Fight for your friends' souls, Strange. Perhaps you will even win them back. It is of no consequence. There are always others willing to bargain for their fondest desires...

Team Lamia is back from London with the Darkhold. Strange, this is your show now. Tell us what you need.

Dr. Strange:

With the Darkhold and the necessary demonic components in my possession, only one thing remains: I need time to conduct the ritual. The reason for this alliance between Mephisto and Dracula is clearer to me now. In the creation of a vampire, the soul is unmoored and lost; Dracula and Mephisto together have realized that Mephisto can claim that soul. Thus if their occult hold over the moon is not broken, every vampire created will be infused with the demonic power Mephisto grants upon claiming a soul.

Nick Fury:

You're saying we're looking at an army of demon-vampire hybrids.

Dr. Strange:

Yes. The more powerful demons and vampires we have already seen are early examples of this. We do not wish to see the finished product, you may be certain of that.

Nick Fury:

Agent, you heard the Doctor. He needs time, and if we don't give it to him, the world is going to be an eternal shadow playground for demon vampires.
