"We got a dimensional disturbance outside of the mansion! Everyone head out their now!" Crystal said over the Mansion's intercom as she stared at the security cameras surrounding the Mansion. Before she could even get up out of her seat Thor, Quasar, and Photon were already on the scene. Walking out of the room she saw Jack-of-Hearts flying by.

"Better hurry slow poke!" Jack-of-Hearts teased as he zoomed by the Inhuman woman.

"Tell me about it," Crystal huffed as she ran after Jack.

"What's going on?" Neal asked as Crystal ran by the kitchen.

Looking back she said, "I don't know yet, but you might want to head to the basement. Make sure you stayed armed! Jarvis will show you where we store our weapons."

"Yeah sure. Take care of yourself out there," Neal said with a sinister smile. He was curious though. Just what had the Avengers running like a stampede of wild bulls.

"Will do!" Crystal yelled as she took off around the corner that lead to the door of the Mansion. In the front yard she would find the dimensional disturbance.

Walking outside she saw the disturbance was a group of tall men and women. Each of them were very much black and they almost seemed like living obelisks. They held power and regality about them. Crystal knew of these things well. She was a member of the Inhuman Royal Family. A royal could always tell when another royal was around.

"Who dost thou be and why hast thou intruded upon the sacred sanctity of this abode?" Thor asked with Mjolnir in hand.

He's always ready to clobber someone. What if they're here for help?

"We are the Moon Gods, Asgardian! You would do well to pay us the proper respect. We have come seeking your aid to stop the madman known as Tyrant. He plots to conquer the entire universe," Junn-Moon Lord said pulling his black cloak over his obsidian form.

"Tyrant!" Thor, Quasar, and Jack-of-Hearts all said simultaneously.

"Who's Tyrant?" Scarlet Witch asked feeling quite ignorant at the moment.

"Only one of the darkest and most powerful forces in the universe. He's put the smackdown on a whole bunch of the good guys Wanda," Quasar informed.

"What is he planning?" Jack-of-Hearts asked Junn-Moon Lord.

"He seeks to control the minds of entire worlds with a device he has acquired. Though he needs a catalyst to activate it. He seeks the Earth woman known as Karma. Know that he does not act alone. Firelord, Morg, and High Evolutionary assist him," Queen Wastha warned speaking for her husband.

"Is Tyrant already here?" Crystal asked. She wanted just how much time they had before this big bad got here.

"No, he is not coming for a few days yet. The same goes for Firelord and Morg. We have time to prepare for his arrival," Junn-Moon Lord replied.

"I shalt find Karma! Wanda take the lead!" Thor commanded as he used Mjolnir to wrap himself in a gust of wind and then he was gone.

Wanda didn't seem in the least bit fazed, "Okay guys here's the deal. We need allies in this fight. Tryant isn't going to be a joke. We can't afford to not take him seriously. Crystal ask the Inhumans to give us a hand if you will. Quasar head to the Shi'ar Empire and see what Gladiator can spare for us. The rest of us will see what other preparations can be made."

"Before you take to your tasks there is something else I must tell you," Junn-Moon Lord interrupted.

"And what is that?" Photon asked giving the Moon God a look that pretty told him that what he was about to say better not be bad.

"Silver Surfer, Beta Ray Bill, and Red Norvell are being held captive by Tyrant. They tried to defeat Tyrant on their own, but they were swiftly defeated."

"Crap crap and crap. What do we do boss?" Quasar asked.

"We'll save them later. We gotta focus right now," Wanda said sternly. Quasar nodded and took off at an amazing speed into space.

"I'll head to Attilan ASAP," Crystal said as she headed into the mansion. She was going straight for the Quinijets. Hopefully, Neal had done a good job fixing the suckers up.

Silver Surfer weakly opened up his eyes. Looking around he saw that he was trapped in a blue ionic energy chains as were his fellow partners in crime, Beta Ray Bill and Red Norvell. Neither of them had awoken yet and Norrin could still see that their wounds from the battle with Tyrant were still mending.

What where you thinking dragging them into this Norrin? You must have been insane! Now look at them. They're not even moving! Could you be so blinded by your rage? Are you no better than Firelord who was consumed by his anger? You should have went about this in a different way. A way that wasn't nearly as foolish. Now what world will pay the price for your foolishness. Damn it!

"Ugghnn," Red Norvell moaned as he stirred into consciousness. Silver Surfer let out a great sigh of relief. At least one was awake and in time he would be alright. The fact of the matter was that they had failed to stop Tyrant and now he was would eventually conquer some unsuspecting planet.

"Take deep breaths my friend. The thrashing we suffered was great."

"Tell me about it Norrin. I can still feel my head ringing. That Tyrant can throw some fierce blows. Oh man," Red Norvell moaned again as he looked over at Beta Ray Bill. The holder of Stormbringer had taken the worse beating of all three cosmic heroes. It was amazing to Norrin that the alien had managed to hold onto life as long as he had.

"He's quite the fighter. I'm sure he'll make it Norvell. Right now we need to get out of here and warn people of Tyrant's plan," Silver Surfer said tugging at his ionic chains. The shackles seemed to be dampening his powers a great deal and he wasn't able to access his molecular manipulation.

"I will not be held here! I WILL NOT!!!" Red Norvell yelled as he ripped himself away from the shackles with every ounce of strength he had. Holding out his hand his hammer, which was seated on a table in the corner, returned to his hand. Lifting his hammer high into the air he bought down the weapon on Norrin's shackles as his full strength quickly returned to him.

"Thank you Norvell. These chains hardly fit my color scheme," Norrin said in a rare joke as he made his board float to the ground. Unknown to many, but the board followed his every mental command. He could have called upon it to free him from the ionic chains, but he didn't want to risk damaging it. Especially since he had no idea how powerful the glowing blue shackles were.

"You don't look too good my friend. I'll get you out," Red Norvell exclaimed as he slammed down his hammer on each of Beta Ray Bill's shackles. The ionic bonds cracked opened like a sliced apple.

Slumping over into Red Norvell's shoulders the alien warrior was simply exhausted. Norvell was strong though and he could lift the load. It wouldn't be too hard he hoped.

"None of you are leaving this place! Tyrant shall not allow it!" a voice called from the shadows. All Norrin and Norvell could see was a silhouette of what looked to be a regular human.

"Who are you?' Red Norvell asked squinting his eyes.

The figured stepped forward revealing his purple frame to the two cosmic heroes, "I'm the Machine Man and you shall not pass!"

Attilan

"It does my heart well to see you again Crystal!" Krosscrux greeted with open arms. Standing next to him were Cohors and Duellem. They shared the same look of welcoming on their faces.

Crystal took Krosscrux in his embrace. Quickly she pulled back and asked, "Where is everyone else at? I come with an urgent message."

"Crosier and Medusa are out in the garden. Black Bolt has taken Lockjaw for a walk and-,"

"Just take me to my sister!" Crystal exclaimed grabbing Krosscrux's blue hand and dragging him along. Cohors and Duellem followed behind sheepishly.

"She's quite the forceful one," Duellem whispered to Cohors.

"Indeed."

Avengers Mansion (An Hour Later)

"High Evolutionary is crucial to Tyrant's plan. Someone should be heading to Mount Wundagore," Junn-Moon Lord suggested as stood around the Avenger's underground conference room.

"Tall and black has a point over there. We need to start taking some action," Photon said.

"Then let's get to it. The cavalry is here," Crystal smiled as she walked into the already crowded room with the Inhumans behind her.

Wanda nodded at the presence of the Royal Family and laid out a plan of action, "Okay here's how its going down. There will be two groups. One that attacks Mt. Wundagore and one that waits for Tyrant to arrive. First though I want Crystal and Medusa to track down Thor. You three can help him cover ground faster and if Tyrant gets to you guys first you'll be able to defend yourselves for a time. Karnak, Triton, the three new guys, Mikah, and Junn Moon-Lord head to Mt. Wundagore. The rest of us will wait here for Tyrant."

"I will deliver everyone to Mt. Wundagore, but be warned. Tyrant is a force like you've never seen. Fight him, but don't think you can win. It is an impossibility. You have not the power needed," Junn Moon-Lord stated as he threw his black cloak into the air and was gone. Mikah and the others disappeared shortly afterwards.

"Don't listen to him. We'll do fine," Wanda reassured though in truth she wasn't all that sure herself. Part of her hoped she was right, but Tyrant was a force of pure power. How would they be able to stand against him?

"Junn knows of what he says Avengers. We won't beat Tyrant," Queen Wastha said with just as much confidence in her voice as Wanda.

"We'll be sure to give him hell then!" Jack-of-Hearts yelled.

WHOORP! WHOORP! WHOORP! INTRUDER ALERT! WHOORP! INTRUDER ALERT!

"I guess he decided to show up a little early," Gorgon mused.

"Crystal and Medusa get out of here while you can! We'll handle the light weight," Wanda smirked as she slipped on her long red gloves.

"Good hunting guys!" Crystal exclaimed as she took her sister's hands went down a back doorway that led to the Quinijets. The tunnel hadn't been used in a while. It was built in case of emergency evacuations. This situation was close to call for a use of the tunnel.
