Chapter 78 - [33] Luke Cage and Iron-Fist

------(A/N)-------

Updates will be inconsistent, my house is going through a renovation. Not sure If I can do 7 chap daily. But I'll try.

...

Looking at the two individuals, Max recognized them immediately. It was Luke Cage and Iron-Fist. Glancing towards Felicia, "Netflix and Chill?" He said, taking out a box of chocolates.

She looked at Max weirdly but shrugged and agreed to sit down and snack on chocolates while watching the two vigilantes fight their way towards the drug cartels.

"Wow! That's a lot of security." Max said. "You sure there's drugs in there?" he said, glancing at the Drug Cartels.

Felicia narrowed her eyes, "Maybe, not sure." She said. "But, are those ninjas…? " She said, pointing at some red-clothed men, as they came towards the two vigilantes with their swords drawn.

"Yup, they are--most definitely Hand members." Max nodded. "This is a trap but... don't know if it's for us or them." He shrugged. As the red-clothed ninjas joined the fight, it became visible that the vigilantes were slowly getting overwhelmed.

"Since when did New York have ninjas?" Luke asked as he punched a ninja sending him flying back, guarding against a sword attack by blocking it with his left arm.

"They are from an old organization called the Hand." Danny Rand a.k.a Iron-Fist said, as he sidestepped a sword strike. Using his quick reflexes, he chopped down on the attacker's neck, knocking him out instantly. Danny moved towards them with nimble movements, dodging the Hand ninjas as he knocked them one by one.

"How many are there!" Luke said, punching one of them in the gut, as he flew towards his comrades, knocking them down along with him. "There's no end to these guys."

"This was a Trap. We should have listened to Daredevil." Danny said as he used his Chi-ability, making his fists glow as he started attacking them impossibly fast. The ninjas couldn't even do anything as they were getting beaten up; he took out at least 30 of them at once before stopping. He still had to catch his breath as using his Chi ability drained a lot out of him.

"Yeah, well we f.u.c.k.e.d up," Luke said as he grabbed one of the ninjas by his head, throwing him like a bowling ball, taking down several other ninjas on his way. "At this rate, we will run out of juice before we can even confront King-Pin." He said panting, catching his breath.

They have been fighting for almost half an hour non-stop now. If this went on, they would lose. The worst thing is mixed with the ninja were other normal thugs, making them fight something akin to a small army.

Luke grabbed one of the Ninjas by his leg and started using him like a mace to attack the surrounding ones. He was getting irritated at the never-ending stream of ninjas. He was strong while the other side wasn't. So, he relied on his strength and threw one of the ninjas back several meters taking out a few more along with it.

Suddenly all ninjas, as well as the gang members, stopped attacking; in fact, they started to retreat, taking a few steps back, as if wanting to create room for the two vigilantes.

"Yeah, you better run," Luke said, smiling, thinking that the enemies were going to run away.

"No, somethings wrong," Danny said panting, as the environment got kind of eerie all of a sudden. It became too quiet for some reason; they could only hear each other's rough breathing.

Soon a person started making his way towards the Two heroes, even in this silence, the heroes couldn't hear his steps. It was as if he wasn't there.

The new Individual was similar to Luke Cage in terms of both height and build. He had long void-like black hair that floated due to the wind, pale white skin, and a brute looking face. For some reason, he was wearing black shades even though it was midnight—a red tuxedo and two one-sided blades that were hanging cross from his back.

He walked slowly, as if he had all the time in the world, while he tied his hair into a bun. A while later he stood only a few meters away from the two heroes. "You have fought well. Now leave." He ordered as the Hand ninjas started to retreat back by dragging their fallen comrades with them.

Crossing his arms, he looked at the two Heroes in front of him, "I'll give you one last chance. Beg for mercy now, and I will reward you a swift and painless death." He said with his rough English accent, As he pulled out his swords from their sheathes. The blades reflected the silver moonlight as he got in position.

"Don't, that's…" Before Danny could finish, Luke charged in pulling back his fist, ready to fight.

Thinking that he had unbreakable skin, Luke Cage attacked the sword-wielding villain without a second thought. Not knowing it would be the worst decision he would ever make tonight.

Luke struck first, as the villain sidestepped avoiding his wield jab, using one of his swords to upward slash at the Hero's hand.

Thinking that the sword would just bounce off his arms, Luke Cage punched with his other arm. Landing a hit on the villain's face, pushing him away, he smiled. But for some odd reason, he felt a jolt of pain from his left hand.

Taking a look, he became horrified as blood gushed out from where his hand should be. His hand was lying on the ground throbbing, twitching; blood constantly pouring out of the gaping wound. The villain had cut off his left-hand right from his elbow down.

Luke screamed in pain kneeling, holding his left arm tight, not knowing what to do. He never expected the sword would go through his unbreakable skin and wondered why he attacked so rashly.

The sword-wielding villain came forward holding his blade up high, ready to deal the finishing blow when Danny came along with his chi imbued fist he struck towards the villain—making him bounce backward.

Danny came closer to Luke, "That's why I said not to engage." He said as he used his Chi on Luke, trying to stop the bleeding. He couldn't possibly reattach Luke's hand with his healing. The only thing he could do now was to stop the bleeding.

"He's called the Gorgon. This is bad, we have to leave, right now." Danny said as he stopped the bleeding, looking at the villain who was walking towards them, not even bothering to finish them off quickly. "You can't fight like this, you have lost too much blood already." He said, supporting his friend to stand up.

.

"Aren't you going to stop them?!" Felicia asked, looking at Max, who was munching on his Chocolate ch.i.p.s, m.o.a.ning from p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e. "They are going to die there. That's the Gorgon!"

Max glanced at Felicia, "Now, someone has a moral compass. And here I thought you were a simple cat burglar." He said.

"Oh, God! You're useless." She said, jumping out of the building while using her grapple gun to swing towards the fight. Felicia knew some members of the Hydra and Hand organization and the 'Gorgon' was in both of them. Her mentor had told her to run if she ever saw him, yet she was jumping forward. Trying to save two people she never knew.

Landing with a roll, pulling out her claws, she charged towards the villain only to slash air.
