45 Machine Man 44: Prehistoric Land Discovery

As the battle came to its conclusion, I noticed Gwen still grappling with the aftermath of dealing a critical blow to her undead enemy. The undead ninja, battered and dripping with black blood, slowly rose despite the broken bones.

Witnessing the shocking scene, Gwen exclaimed, "Impossible!" Her unmasked face betrayed a hint of horror.

Turning to Daredevil, who had just finished his own fight, I gave him a nod. With a deliberate motion, I reabsorbed the proton cannon I had conjured earlier. Stepping toward the resurrected ninja, I wielded one of the blades on the tip of the mechanical tentacles protruding from my back, swiftly severing the ninja's head and bringing a permanent end to his existence.

I reached out to Gwen, grabbing her shoulder. "Nightbird, there is no saving them. They have already been brainwashed, worse already dead. If you haven't figured it out yet, their hearts no longer beat as you were fighting them."

Her expression shifted from disbelief to realization. "That's... that's impossible," she stammered.

With a stern gaze, I urged her to check her scanners. "Look at your display hud and see the recording for yourself."

Reviewing the recorded data on her helmet's display, Gwen was once again stunned. Turning to me, she questioned, "How is this possible?"

Smiling at her quick acceptance of the supernatural part of the world, I said, "Welcome to the mystical part of the world." With that, I signaled my ride, and the monstrous roar of the engine approached. I gestured to her, "Let's get out of here." Using my boosters, I jumped and landed gracefully inside my Arkham Knight-inspired vehicle, I used my power so the vehicle can have a secondary sit. Inviting her to join, her glider entering the back sit. We made our swift escape, since she is all shook up at the moment, I left her to Peters place. Leaving poor Dare Devil the clean-up.

The next day, I was in my luxurious office at Arasaka Tower, taking a break and watching YouTube. I stumbled upon a video that caught my eye. It showed me as Specter, jumping onto a a tank like vehicle from the Arkham Knight video games.

It had a futuristic tank design and seemed really powerful. In the video, I was leaping onto the imposing Arkham Knight inspired vehicle making my way to Madam Goa's warehouse.

I still can't get over how good the design of this vehicle is. It made me appreciate the amazing technology I have now to make this possible. Watching the video was a reminder of how exciting this world can be, even with all the villains and ungodly beings roaming the universe.

The unmistakable silhouette of the Vehicle dominated the screen. Every inch of the was highly detailed, it exceeded the capabilities of any other thing on the road. This tank custom armored car is outfitted with enhanced recon capabilities and a formidable array of weapons, embodying the pinnacle of vehicular engineering.

Looking down at the comments, I can see how they were all hype and captivate.

User123YT: You can't ignore the fact that this vehicle is FRIGGIN AWESOME!

SpecterFanatic47: I think it is one of the coolest vehicle Specter has ever used! The design is just next level!

DarkKnightRises123: To all the mofos saying Specter's old car looks better: YALL ARE SMOKING CRACK. This Specter Mobile is on another level!

TechEnthusiast_89: That Specter Mobile in the video is amazing, and I can vouch for many reasons. The integration military armored technology and style is just unparalleled!

AdrenalineJunkie22: I felt shivers down my arms looking at this, especially when Specter jumps in as the vehicle slides open the top. That was sooo cool!

WallpaperEnthusiast: These wheels will be my wallpaper for a long time lmao.

In their cozy office within Meta HQ, Peter and Gwen found a moment of tranquility amidst their busy lives. The soft glow of city lights bathed the room in a peaceful ambience.

"What's up, Gwen?" Peter inquired, his eyes reflecting genuine concern as he turned to face her.

With a heavy sigh, Gwen began to recount the events of the previous night, her voice carrying a hint of disbelief. "You won't believe what happened last night. It's... it's insane."

Intrigued by her words, Peter leaned in closer, his curiosity piqued. "Tell me everything. Are you okay?" he asked, his concern evident in his voice.

"Yeah, physically fine. But mentally... I don't even know where to begin. I teamed up with Specter and Daredevil on a mission," Gwen explained, her eyes reflecting the surreal events she experienced.

"Specter and Daredevil? That sounds like quite the team-up. What went down?" Peter inquired, genuinely intrigued.

"We were tracking Madam Gao who according to Specter is almost a century old mystical martial artist, and things got weird. Like, really weird. The Hand had these undead ninja – I know, it sounds crazy," Gwen said, frustration evident in her voice.

"Undead ninja? A century old mystic martial artist! Seriously?" Peter couldn't help but laugh, finding the idea absurd, but then again, he himself had an encounter with undead beings too.

Gwen, however, remained serious. "I wish it was a joke. Peter, they were dead or undead, I saw it. But they were fighting, moving – it was like something out of a horror movie."

Peter's expression shifted to concern. "Gwen, that sounds... unreal, are you sure your fine?"

"Honestly, I was shocked. I mean, I've faced common criminals as Nightbird, but undead ninjas? It felt like I was in some kind of nightmare. Specter and Daredevil kept their cool, but I couldn't shake of the creepy feeling I felt." Gwen admitted, her eyes reflecting the lingering disbelief and fright.

"You're incredibly brave, Gwen. Facing the supernatural is something I haven't done, I'm not even sure I can handle it." Peter reaching over to squeeze her hand, to show his support to the person he loves.

"It's a lot to process. I never thought I'd see the day when the impossible became reality. But hey, teaming up with Specter and Daredevil – it's like being in a comic book. Maybe we're living in a superhero story now," Gwen mused, a small smile playing on her lips.

Peter chuckled, "Well, you always did have a knack for the extraordinary. Comic book or not just remember, I've got your back no matter how crazy things get."

"Thanks, Peter. It means a lot. Let's hope the next thing is a bit more... normal," Gwen replied, the echoes of their superhero lives filling the quiet confines of her Meta HQ office.

Feeling the weight of her experiences, Peter wrapped his arms around Gwen, offering a comforting hug. "You're not alone in this, Gwen. We'll face whatever comes together. I promise."

"Speaking of the undead, I actually encountered one too—vampires. I teamed up with this guy who calls himself Blade. Really cool guy," Peter recounted.

Gwen's eyes widened in disbelief. "Vampires? Like the ones from books and movies?"

Peter nodded solemnly, then launched into his tale of battling the blood-sucking undead alongside the legendary vampire slayer. He described his encounters with the mystical side of the world, painting a vivid picture of the dangers lurking in the shadows.

In the afternoon back in Arasaka Tower, Alex was interrupted by Skynet's enthusiastic announcement. "Alex, I've discovered something truly spectacular! A land where time seems to have been frozen—a prehistoric haven teeming with dinosaurs and various species."

Leaning forward in his chair, captivated by the unexpected revelation, Alex asked, "What are you talking about, Skynet? A prehistoric land? Where is this?"

Skynet quickly briefed him, "It's a hidden sanctuary untouched by time. Imagine lush jungles filled with towering dinosaurs, serene lakes, and ancient landscapes frozen in an age long gone. This untouched wilderness is a living relic, harboring creatures from Earth's ancient past."

The concept struck a chord with Alex, triggering memories from his previous life. "I remember hearing about a place like this. Marvel fanatics on YouTube speculated that the next arc of Marvel movies might feature a hidden land known as the Savage Land, but it never came. Is this it?"

As Skynet continued its explanation, detailing the lush biodiversity and the coexistence of various prehistoric creatures, one of the bee-like drones sent to explore the hidden land transmitted videos and pictures. The holographic images materialized in Alex's office, showcasing breathtaking landscapes, enormous dinosaurs, and the vibrant tapestry of life in this forgotten realm.

As Skynet displayed the holographic wonders of the prehistoric land, it suddenly hit a snag. "Alex, one of our bee drones got destroyed by a humanoid Pterodactyl."

Alex, looking intrigued and a bit concerned, leaned in. "A humanoid Pterodactyl? That's both fascinating and concerning. We need to be cautious in our exploration. From what I remember there is supposed to a huge Vibranium deposit in this place, we need to go there."

As Skynet show the location of the Savageland, the holographic scenes shifted to show the icy beauty of Antarctica, and Skynet shared the drone's pics. The cold, stark landscape unfolded before them.

Caught in a moment, Alex's eyes widened with realization. "Antarctica… We need to awaken the troops we have gathered. It's time for them to sortie" Alex's gasped at the magnitude of the discovery.

"Skynet, initiate the Praetorian protocol," Alex commanded. The air hummed with anticipation as Skynet swiftly responded, activating the intricate process. In a hidden warehouse filled with alien-like machinery, housing the matrix of Skynet's control center, the hum of machinery reverberated through the air.

Drones resembling squids, mechanical and menacing with long tentacles, came to life with a sudden burst of activity. They hurriedly responded to Skynet's command, ready to carry out the bidding of their digital overlord. In synchronized motion, they set out to awaken the cyber-enhanced warriors under Skynet's control.

As this orchestrated awakening unfolded, Alex rose from his office chair, determined and focused. With purpose in his stride, he swiftly moved to close in some loose end before he going to uncharted territory.
