46 What's A Mob To a King?

-- Leipzig-Halle Airport, Schkeuditz, Germany --

Captain America was running through the airport with the Winter Soldier and Falcon right behind him. They had thought that no one had caught onto them when Iron Man landed out of nowhere.

"Cap. Birdboy. Assassin. Always run into people you know at the airport. So strange. Isn't that strange Rhoades?"

War Machine was floating above them and pointing 4 of the 17 guns on his body at the trio. "Very strange. You might wanna look into it for a science experiment."

"I will."

Natasha and J'Zaki walked out from the shadows in opposite directions. Captain America looked behind him to see that the way they had come from was blocked off by a male wearing a black and red suit with webbing patterns on it.

"Cap. If you keep running and fighting, you are just going to make this worse." Natasha tried to convince him one more time

"I can't, Nat. He was framed. There is a guy trying to bring out a bunch of really dangerous super-soldiers just like him."

"Then we will investigate, Rogers!" Tony had had enough. "But for now, you're going to lay down your weapons and surrender. You're going to come with us and we are going to try and make the best of this very terrible situation. Not just because it is the law but because it is us! Because we do not want to fight you, Cap!"

Just as he was about to respond, Captain America heard something over his comms.

[Hey, Cap. We just got some friends who arrived that have a private jet and have found the Quinjet. Head this way and then we will distract them. Then you guys can take your pick on which one you wanna use.]

Captain America lowered his body and raised his shield. Seeing that he was ready for a fight, Tony lowered the mask on his helmet, ready for the fight.

"Wait, Tony," Natasha stopped Tony. "I promised King J'Zaki that he could have the first round and we wouldn't help til he asked for it or really needed it."

"Really, Nat? A gentleman's duel?" Tony's mask lifted up again

"Not a duel," J'Zaki unsheathed one of his knives while gold light surrounded his legs. "Three vs one is just three men getting killed by one man."

J'Zaki rushed up to the group with a speed that caught everyone off guard. He kicked Sam in the gut before and sliced at Captain America. The latter was barely able to block it with his shield but the knife left a very obvious scar on it. Barnes raised his gun to shoot the king but a rock that appeared out of nowhere sent him flying.

In the first exchange alone, J'Zaki had already shown everyone present that he was more than the trio's match.

"Alright, guys. We might need some help over here." Falcon called for backup while he was lying on the ground, waiting for all the organs that got knocked out of place to return to normal.

[Got it. Sending over squads 3 and 4.]

"Than.." Falcon was cut off when he was given a punt kick to the head that nearly decapitated him. The black, flying sidekick got knocked out of the fight before it really even started.

"Sam!" Captain America yelled before throwing his shield only for it to get caught easily. "Shit!"

J'Zaki threw the shield at Barnes and knocked him back to the ground before he rushed over to Captain America and began to beat him CQC. The Avengers looked on in shock as Captain America was overwhelmed so easily.

Just as another punch was about to land on Cap's face, an invisible wave of energy launched J'Zaki into the air and away from Captain America. Everyone turned to see that Miles had been knocked away at the same time and 7 individuals were standing where he was.

"Isn't that Coulson's team?" Rhoades asked from above.

"Yep. And some other randoms. Get ready to move in." Tony's mask was lowered again

"Wait!" J'Zaki called out before standing back up. "Who said that I was done with them?"

"Really, your majesty? You still think you can take them?"

J'Zaki's eyes turned white. The tomoe appeared floating around the black dot in the center. A red aura exploded out of J'Zaki's body and several flaming spears appeared around him.

"Hmm. What's a mob to a king?"

"Is that chi?" Jessica asked Danny

"Yes. And such a violent display of it. This man is very dangerous."

The spears were fired out at all three groups. The Defenders hid behind Luke Cage, the Secret Warriors had Quake send out a vibration attack to deflect the spears, and Barnes hid behind Captain America and his shield.

Although each of them managed to survive the attacks, Luke Cage was knocked off his feet and back a few feet while Captain America was brought to his knees under the pressure of the attack.

The Columbian woman of the Secret Warriors rushed ahead and tried to punch J'Zaki but it was like she ran her neck right into where his palm was, nearly breaking her own neck. J'Zaki tightened his grip around Yo-Yo's neck and began to choke the life out of her.

Once the woman was unconscious, the king tossed her body to the side before looking at the others provocatively.

"Who's next?"

Daredevil thought he had managed to sneak up on J'Zaki but was surprised when a foot landed on the side of his face and knocked him several meters away. Danny wanted to use that as an opening to land an attack.

He jumped through the air as his fist began to glow yellow. The man punched out trying to catch his opponent distracted by Daredevil but somehow, one of J'Zaki's fists met his gut. All the momentum and energy that Danny was building up was destroyed in a moment.

Luke got off the ground and saw Daredevil and Danny going down so fast.

"Why haven't I heard of this guy before? I'm pretty sure we should have heard of this guy before?!?!"

"Don't ask me," Captain America looked at the scene in confusion. He had seen the king before thanks to the guilt he felt about the bombing but he had never heard of him being powerful like this.

A portal made of hellfire opened in front of the group. Out of the portal walked the Ghost Rider.

"You guys need some help?"

"Yeah, but be careful. Don't hurt him too badly." Captain American warned Robbie

Seeing the new opponent, J'Zaki he had met someone dangerous. He had been keeping track of the Ghost Rider since his predecessor gave him the spirit of vengeance. The young man's chest started shining.

"(Pick a God). I want to rampage."

(And that's 10 within 24 hours.)
