Marvel Superhero Adventures: Intergalactic Grand Prix/Transcript/Chapter 5

The transcript for "Dark of the Road", the fifth chapter of the story mode of Marvel Superhero Adventures: Intergalactic Grand Prix.

Cutscene 65: "Welcome to the Skrull Resistance"

 * (chapter begins with silhouetted Uatu the Watcher (who is seen in front of the Full Moon) observing everything in the sky at night)
 * Uatu the Watcher: (voice over) What started as a sportive tournament for glory has become a desperate race against time. But our heroes' progress in the Intergalactic Grand Prix remains well. With four of the Infinity Stones and a majority of the Silver Surfer's board fragments in their hands, they resume their journey, as scheduled. But bigger challenges still await for them, as they reach darker, and more hostile territories. Including those ruled by Earth's most feared tyrants...

(we see Happy Hogan's truck trailers arriving at a military station full of Skrulls, who help position the vehicles. The heroes and their companions exit their transport)
 * Gamora: (Zoe is shown to be hesitant) There's nothing to fear here, darling. The green ones with pointy ears are not evil. (picks up Zoe and moves on)

(Tippy-Toe is shown riding in the back of Diego the Tiger, who senses the smell of the place before moving on, with Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson watching and following)
 * Peter Parker: Diego looks confident enough to know we're not in a dangerous zone.
 * Mary Jane Watson: Just like every animal, Peter. He trusts his instincts.

(the assembled heroes are then met with G'iah)
 * G'iah: Good timing, heroes. Sure glad you got my dad's invitation.
 * Carol Danvers: Feeling's mutual, G'iah. We also hope your dad's not too busy with... you know, checking if the Kree are still scheming for your people's genocide...
 * General Talos: (approaching G'iah with Soren) Hopefully enough, Carol... the Kree are just as busy as the Grandmaster's loyalists in benefiting the Intergalactic Grand Prix. Especially since Ronan is among the contestants.
 * Miles Morales: Wow, really? Even Doctor Doom? Because you know...
 * Soren: Yes, we're aware of how distrustful Doctor Doom is to most humans who are not Latverian. Especially superheroes. But he found the Grandmaster's offer quite convincing enough so that he'll tolerate the outsiders.
 * Mary Jane Watson: (checking the schedules) And to prove that trust... he's scheduled some circuits of his own in Latveria. With a track of his design.
 * Kamala Khan: Do we take any chances of trusting him not to disqualify us from his circuit?
 * General Talos: More fortunately, my dear... that's also the Grandmaster's decision to make. Not Doom's. So, no. You will not be disqualified so unfairly like this. This, we assure you.

(end of the cutscene)

Cutscene 66: "Doom's Challenge"
(cutscene opens in Latveria, where the heroes are preparing their vehicles)
 * Mister Fantastic: Of all places, this is personally my least favorite.
 * Invisible Woman: Hopefully enough, the sooner we finish this circuit, the sooner we'll leave so that Doom won't be growling at our ears for what we wouldn't do.

(as Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman check on their vehicles, Ms. Marvel talks to Captain America and the Thing)
 * Ms. Marvel: I know he's your teammates' arch-nemesis, but... why does Doom hate Dr. Richards so much?
 * The Thing: Awful reasons, ya know. Som' say he's jealous that Reed got t' marry Susie. Som' say Doom thinks of Reed as competition to see who's th' smartest guy on the planet. But it's always been 'cause of som' accident in their college years. One that wuz clearly that metal head's own fault. Not Reed's. Ya know what I mean?
 * Ms. Marvel: Yeah. Ogres like those big jocks from Midtown High used to think the same: they make a big mistake or something bad happens to their lives, they choose to blame it on someone else. I know that because of that ogre Flash Thompson, who had like a lot of dad issues, and used to take his anger on Peter, who had nothing to do with it.
 * Captain America: I know. Tough life. But hopefully enough, we'll still do our best to put the ogres down.

(we see Spider-Man, Human Torch, Black Panther and She-Hulk)
 * She-Hulk: So? Who are we up against in this circuit's group?
 * Spider-Man: As MJ notified me, we're in an individual match. So...
 * Black Panther: She speaks of the villains we are competing against in this group.
 * Spider-Man: Oh, right. Sorry. (She-Hulk gives a "It's okay" gesture, and Spider-Man checks a holographic screen) Besides Doctor Doom, we're also up against... (holographic screen showcases the villains) Titania, Klaw, Doc Ock, Victorious, and... Kang. (the villains in the circuit appear, with Kang confronting Spider-Man) If you're still blaming me or my friends for your failure to save your woman from ceasing to exist, let me remind you again: that incursion that erased her and your world from existence totally happened because of you and only you alone.
 * Kang the Conqueror: I still detest you and your comrades for foiling my attempt to save my beloved Ravonna. But for the sake of the reputation I have left, and the benefits the Collector offered in exchange of my duty in his brother's tournament, I choose to tolerate you. For now...
 * Doctor Octopus: As do I. (also confronting Spider-Man) Even after that humiliating trap you and Emma Frost prepared for me and Zola's pawns, I too intend to focus my attention on this circuit first, and save my retribution for later.

(She-Hulk is confronted by Titania)
 * Titania: Don't think you'll get all the luck you're lookin' for, Greenie. With or without my Carl around, I'm still gonna make you eat my dust.
 * She-Hulk: And if you think I need my cousin's help to deal with you in this race, I only got two words for you, big girl: dream on.

(Mister Fantastic is confronted by Doctor Doom)
 * Mister Fantastic: Don't suppose just because this track takes place in your country, that we'll be disqualified even if we win, Doom.
 * Doctor Doom: I would not dream of it, Richards. Although I find yours and your Fantastic Four's presence in Latveria unpleasant, I cannot go against the Grandmaster's rules just to make you suffer.

(then, the heroes are met with the Grandmaster)
 * Grandmaster: All racers of Circuit 1 present? Very well. Get to your vehicles, and get ready. Race well, heroes and villains. And with honor.

(the heroes and villains move on to do so, as Mary Jane and Diego arrive)
 * Mary Jane Watson: Well, everyone's here. Just in time for the show. (Diego sees Klaw, and growls silently, but angrily) Not now, Big Daddy. Let him race first, then you can have a piece of him. Until then, go find the fragments of the Surfer's board, and take them to Gloria. (Diego nods for yes, and runs to the jungle. Mary Jane teleports in the air, and stands in a flying platform in front of the starting line, as the racers enter their positions) Alright, racers... (materializes her green flag) ready for your next ride?

(end of the cutscene, cue to the "Trial of Doom" mission)

Cutscene 67: "Respect the Tiger"
(following the "Trial of Doom" mission, cutscene opens with Phil Coulson and Robbie Robertson in Latveria)
 * Phil Coulson: And yet another outstanding performance from our champions, sports fans! One to ensure their ultimate victory in the Intergalactic Grand Prix!
 * Robbie Robertson: Darn right, Phil! (both are oblivious to a battered Klaw walking angrily behind them) (laughs) And only for a second time, we see Klaw trying to cheat in this circuit, only to let his down for...
 * Both: (both are pushed aside by Klaw) Yikes!
 * Klaw: (angry breaths) You two bozos think this is funny?! (walking menacingly towards the camera) We'll see how funny it'll be when I find out who stole my gems, and blow 'em to blasted pieces!! (the camera drone is startled, and hides behind Betty Brant. Everyone just stares at Klaw) Well?! Who was it?! Spill the beans!
 * Doctor Doom: You are just embarrassing yourself, Klaw. This is not helping your situation.
 * Klaw: I know it was one of you! Maybe even... (to Mary Jane) You! Did you get my gems?!
 * Grandmaster: Klaw... I wouldn't threaten my flag girl if I were you. Her pet does not appreciate that.
 * Klaw: (quizzically) Her pet? What's with her pet? (suddenly, something grabs his bionic arm, and pushes him in the ground. It is Diego chewing his bionic arm) (nervously) Huh... fish cookies?

(immediately, Diego slams Klaw into the floor five times like a rag doll, then tosses him at Kang and Doctor Octopus, knocking them down. Klaw gets up, and notices his bionic arm ripped apart)
 * Black Panther: I neglected to warn you, Klaw. That Mary Jane Watson's pet is not an ordinary animal. And... it was only the second time he did what he did to your arm, now.
 * Klaw: Second time? What do you mean "second time"?! (looks at Diego crushing the remains of Klaw's bionic arm with his jaws. Klaw reacts in horror) No! Not you, again! (comic book-like flashback plays. First image reveals tiger escaping a container capsule in the Jackal's lab. A second image shows Diego clawing Jackal's face. Third image shows Diego grabbing Klaw's arm. Fourth image (presented in red) shows Klaw, who is seen and heard screaming. Flashback ends, with Klaw still screaming, and hiding behind Doom's cloak) Get that beast away from me!
 * Titania: Wait, what...? What's so scary about this tiger?

(in a suspenseful moment, Diego lets out a massive, inhuman roar which shakes the earth, and causes a violent wind. When Diego stops roaring, we see Titania petrified, with her hair messed up)
 * Spider-Man: Let's just say he's an enemy of his (points at Klaw) and the Jackal's making. One they should've never met. Just be happy, though... that he didn't bite your heads. Because this is where your nightmare begins.

(Diego growls menacingly, as Doom shoves Klaw away from him)
 * Doctor Doom: I realise that. Therefore, our flag girl's pet has my respect. (to Mister Fantastic) And begrudgingly, so do you.

(the villains take their leave)
 * She-Hulk: I gotta hand it to you, MJ. (petting Diego) Your handsome tiger here is king.
 * Mary Jane Watson: The one, real king of the beasts. (cuddles Diego) Isn't that right, Big Daddy? Also... did you what I asked? (Diego nods for yes) Good boy.
 * Human Torch: Do what, MJ?
 * Mary Jane Watson: Search for what Klaw was getting mad about, and take them to Gloria and Shuri. And I don't have to say what it was, do I?
 * Ms. Marvel: Oh, yeah. More of the fragments of the Surfer's board. We forgot to see if some of us would be looking for them while we were in this race.
 * Captain America: Should be more surprised that Doom never noticed there were some in his country all along.
 * Mister Fantastic: Taking regard that the fragments were sentient and still connected to the Surfer... it could be possible that they remained undetected for Doom's tracers.
 * Spider-Man: It's one advantage we have. Let's see for how long we can keep that up.

(end of the cutscene)

Cutscene 68: "Insects in the Case"
(cutscene opens with M.O.D.O.K. in the A.I.M. base until he is met with a holographic projection of Mary Jane)
 * Mary Jane Watson: You and the other 11 villains of Group B are the next in Latveria's circuit, M.O.D.O.K.. You have five minutes.
 * M.O.D.O.K.: The leader of A.I.M. cannot be rushed. Tell the Grandmaster I am on my way. (Mary Jane ends transmission, as M.O.D.O.K. turns his attention on Scientist Supreme) I will leave you in charge of my sector while I'm gone. Let no one else know about the files you collected for me about the Soul Stone.
 * Scientist Supreme: Understood, sir. Nothing will happen until you're done. (M.O.D.O.K. teleports away and Scientist Supreme addresses to the agents) You heard him, man. Guard this sector with your lives.

(most of the agents obey, while two of them lay low. They are revealed to be Black Widow and Wasp in disguise, with two agents having been knocked out and left on their underwear)
 * The Wasp: Well... that was easy. Am I right or not?
 * Black Widow: Yes. (uses her binoculars to spot Scientist Supreme in the distance) But now, comes the hard part. Others would have small chances to succeed in this.

(end of the cutscene, cue to the "Small Chances" mission)

Cutscene 69: "A Mad Break-in"
(following the "Small Chances" mission, Scientist Supreme enters the central computer, and is about to insert a microchip)
 * Scientist Supreme: Let this file about the Soul Stone be the first step for A.I.M.'s rise to power.

(but then, Black Widow and Wasp point their fists to his head, knocking him out of cold with Widow's Bite and Stingers. Then, Black Widow retrieves the chip)
 * The Wasp: What was it you said about the "hard part", Widow?

(suddenly, a red alert alarm starts)
 * A.I.M. Security: Report to your stations immediately. This is not a drill. We are under attack. We are under attack.

(cameras showcase robots attacking the A.I.M.)
 * Black Widow: Most evidently, the part where we escape, and leave this place to rot away without our involvement.

(end of the cutscene, cue to the "A.I.M. for an Exit" mission)

Cutscene 70: "Not From Hydra or Ultron"
(following the "A.I.M. for an Exit" mission, Black Widow and Wasp manage to escape the facility through a teleporter, although one of the invading robots notices and follows them. They land in a forest)
 * The Wasp: Whew. For a second or two, I actually thought we were gonna...
 * Robot: (offscreen) Die, heroes! (Wasp and Widow notice the robot) Die!

(the two heroines just stare unamused at the robot, whose angry reaction changes to a more cowardly one)
 * The Wasp: (she and Widow raise their fists on the robot) Just like that? Really? (they blast and destroy the robot) Talk about bad programming.
 * Black Widow: (inspects the robot) And for our good fortune, those robots aren't from Hydra or Ultron. But whoever built them, might be just as obsessed as other villains are with the Soul Stone. And this one might be playing games with both heroes and villains in the wrong place at the wrong time.

(they are met with Lucky the Pizza Dog, who is caring a bag in his mouth)
 * The Wasp: I know. You found some more, didn't you? (checks the bag, which is carrying more Silver Fragments, and pets Lucky) Good boy.

(Hawkeye appears)
 * Black Widow: Any word from others?
 * Hawkeye: Only that we're following the plan. Some of us in the tracks, some of us seeking the fragments... pretty sure you know the rest. And Stark and Danvers are trying to track the Soul Stone before those big heads from either Hydra or A.I.M. can.
 * Black Widow: Well, then... (shows him the chip) let's see if this could help them.

(end of the cutscene)

Cutscene 71: "The First Soul Key"
(cutscene opens with Iron Man, Captain Marvel, Hawkeye, Hercules, Wolverine, and Hulk infiltrating the Mandarin's palace in the Valley of Souls)
 * Hercules: Are you certain this is the place?
 * Hawkeye: Nat didn't lie. That's the one.
 * Hulk: (notices Lucky with Hawkeye) Are you sure it's a good idea to bring your dog here with us?
 * Hawkeye: Lucky's a good tracker. He might be able to find that key first if we don't.
 * Hercules: I was not against the idea of our flag girl having that tiger as a pet. So... (petting Lucky) nor I will be against the idea of your dog being our guide.
 * Iron Man: According to the data Black Widow gave us, this is where we'll find one of the keys we need for the Soul Stone. One of the four we need to unlock that Stone where it's sealed in before any of the villains do.
 * Captain Marvel: (sees footage of the heroes of Group C (Ghost Rider, Moon Knight, Kid Arachnid, Ghost Spider, Rocket Raccoon and Groot, Phoenix, Thor, Star-Lord, Gamora, Wasp, Black Widow, and Winter Soldier) preparing for their race) Well, then... let's rap this up while we still got time. Otherwise, the Grandmaster might yell at us til our ears bleed for being late. Or for missing our circuits.
 * Wolverine: Wouldn't have any other way.

(they sneak into the palace, and spot the Mandarin in his throne room with Green Goblin, the Leader, Magneto and Kang)
 * The Leader: I still believe going by the rules of this tournament is a waste of resources! We should just go after those fragments which Klaw informed us about, and use them for our advantage!
 * Kang the Conqueror: And do you truly believe that the Grandmaster does not have his eyes open on us since his brother attempted to usurp him? Even if we kept the use of the fragments in secret, it would not work. He will suspect of everything.
 * The Mandarin: Regardless, the Grandmaster continues casting his favor on the superheroes for their performance in the tournament. We should consider improving our own if we are to succeed.
 * Green Goblin: Or maybe also weaken theirs. After all, they always say that to break a hero from the outside, we must break them from the inside.
 * Magneto: What is your point, Green Goblin.
 * Green Goblin: To break their confidence. To break their spirits! To break... their souls.

(the Goblin's glider shows a holographic image of the Soul Stone)
 * The Mandarin: The Soul Stone? Impossible. The Soul Stone is beyond the eyes and reach of even every cosmic being. Not even the Celestials could find them.
 * Kang the Conqueror: There is a way. In my timeline, where Thanos succeeded in collecting the Infinity Stones, world had it that he did so by collecting four cosmic relics known as the Soul Keys to find and summon the Stone. Without the need of undergoing its dark trial in Vormir.

(as the villains continue speaking, Stark and Danvers check their radars)
 * Captain Marvel: While these ogres debate, we should probably go after one of these Soul Keys, which is somewhere in the tombs, before they do.

(Stark agrees and he and the heroes follow him. Meanwhile, the villains see M.O.D.O.K. arriving via teleporters, and visibly furious)
 * M.O.D.O.K.: This is an outrage! OUTRAGE, I SAY!! I leave my agents in charge of my A.I.M. sector until I was done with my circuit. And they I return, I see my sector in pieces because of invading robots!
 * The Mandarin: (one of his rings alerts him of Iron Man and his team on the palace) A threat as real as the invasion which is already here in my palace.

(end of the cutscene, cue to the "Soul Iron Men" mission)

Cutscene 72: "Invading Toys"
(following the "Soul Iron Men" mission, Iron Man and his team stand against the villains, until a horde of toy-themed robots break in the palace, and attack both sides)
 * M.O.D.O.K.: Those robots again?! For invading my sector, feel the power of M.O.D.O.K.!!

(M.O.D.O.K. viciously attacks the robots with his mind blasts, as the heroes and villains continue fighting the horde)
 * Captain Marvel: (sees Lucky with the key and a bag of Silver Fragments) Guys, Lucky's got the key. And some more fragmnets from the Surfer's board.
 * Iron Man: Alright. MJ, we could use your teleporters, right now.
 * Mary Jane Watson: (radio voice) Right on.

(teleporters extract the heroes and Lucky out of the palace, as the villains finish off the robots)
 * The Mandarin: (notices the heroes are gone; angrily) Curses! You have not seen the last of me yet, Stark!

(back in the Skrull Resistance Island, the heroes take the assembled fragments to Shuri and Gloria, and place the first key in a ritual drawing)
 * Captain Marvel: One down, two more to go. (Diego approaches her with a decapitated robot clown in his mouth) And those robots that attacked us and the villains... only one madman would cook these up.
 * Wolverine: Arcade.

(end of the cutscene)

Cutscene 73: "A Mad Trap"
(cutscene opens with Miles / Kid Arachnid, Gwen Stacy / Ghost-Spider, Winter Soldier, Rocket Raccoon and Groot infiltrating Arcade's HQ in Madworld)
 * Winter Soldier: Stay sharp, team. This place looks like a peaceful theme park like the one from Coney Island. But don't let the looks fool you. Anything in this park could be a trap. Understand? (Gwen, Miles, Rocket and Groot nod for yes) Good. So, let's find that key, and get out of here ASAP.
 * Rocket Raccoon: (to Gwen and Miles) So, what's the horror story of this Arcade, exactly? I mean, besides the fact that he's this crime lord whose park's a place the some people go, and ain't seen again?
 * Ghost-Spider: He wasn't always like this, you know. He used to be just a regular toy maker and game designer who sought to achieve great success with his work, until he got yelled at by his own father, who bad-mouthed his work for like no reason, called him a joke, and... well, pretty sure you know the rest.
 * Groot: (confused) I am Groot?
 * Kid Arachnid: Abandoned his former identity. Put his normal life behind. And became one of the city's most dangerous psychos.
 * Rocket Raccoon: Just another angry phone kid with daddy issues. Hmph, as if that's the first time he heard that story...

(they continue on until they spot the key floating in a platform)
 * Groot: I am Groot.
 * Rocket Raccoon: Really looks too easy. Could be a trap.

(Winter Soldier stares at Gwen and Miles)
 * Ghost-Spider: I know. Because Miles and I are the ones with spider-senses, you wants us to check if it's a trap. (Winter Soldier gives a simple shrug) Well... when you pull it that way... (she and Miles approach the key slowly, and approach their hands on it. Then, the silence) Your Spider-Sense's tingling?
 * Kid Arachnid: Nope. Yours?
 * Ghost-Spider: Not a sound.
 * Kid Arachnid: Then, I guess we're out of danger.

(Gwen removes the key from the platform)
 * Ghost-Spider: I really didn't expect it to be this easy.

(suddenly, Gwen's and Miles's Spider-Senses blur)
 * Miles Morales: By the fact that our spider-senses are tingling now... I might as well presume the key was bait.

(a scanner machine surrounds the heroes)
 * Arcade: (maniacal laugh; speakers) Welcome to my beloved theme park, heroes! A place of endless fun and games worth dying for! I hope you'll enjoy the attractions I've built. They're so fun, you won't want to leave them!
 * Winter Soldier: Save your breath, Arcade! We don't have time for your little games!
 * Rocket Raccoon: Yeah, we got a Grand Prix to win, and we ain't gonna let some clown with daddy issues step in your way!
 * Groot: I am Groot!
 * Arcade: (speakers) Oh, I see. So you mean to tell me you rather play the Grandmaster's big game than visit my park. How offended I am! (from the gates, come robotic doppelgangers of the heroes) I spent years building the perfect game for all to play. And I still want it! No one is leaving my park! NO ONE!!
 * Ghost-Spider: (she envisions radiation on the robots) Those doppelgangers are powered by more fragments of the Surfer's board. This isn't gonna be easy.
 * Kid Arachnid: When is it ever?

(end of the cutscene, cue to the "Mad Little Park" mission)

Cutscene 74: "A Bare Escape"
(following the "Mad Little Park" mission, the heroes defeat their doppelgangers, and rip the Silver Fragments out of their bodies, although it also causes an explosion which injures the heroes)
 * Ghost-Spider: (getting up, with parts of her costume (including her mask's left visor) damaged) (panting) Getting tired of this. (turns on a communication unit) Shuri, we could use a few teleporters.
 * Shuri: (speaker voice) Right on.

(the teleporters extract the heroes out of MadWorld, with Arcade watching from his room)
 * Arcade: They'll be back. I'm sure of it.

(scene shifts to the six in the Skrull Resistance Island, where they are receiving medical treatment from Gwen's sister Sarah and Dr. Jane Foster, with Gwen's and Miles's uniform being repaired by Shuri and Gloria, and Groot taking a mud bath. They are met with Peter and Kamala)
 * Rocket Raccoon: (taking a bottle of water) After all that, let me be the first to say it: I'm never going back to that so-called park again. Not even if it's for a mission.
 * Gwen Stacy: Same. And... (checks the radars detailing the remaining keys' locations) drat.
 * Miles Morales: Don't say it, I know. The other keys are in places much worse than Arcade's park?
 * Gwen Stacy: One of them is. In the fiery realm... of Mephisto.
 * Winter Soldier: And the other key?
 * Gwen Stacy: In Knowhere. Almost near to the Collector's museum.
 * Peter Parker: (to Kamala) Are we really taking any chances?
 * Kamala Khan: If the idea's to get the Soul Stone before someone like Thanos does? Maybe.
 * Thor: Aye. (he along with Star-Lord, Wolverine, Ghost Rider and Moon Knight come in) But not by yourselves, young ones.
 * Peter Parker: Okay, then.
 * Peter Quill: So, what's your call?
 * Peter Parker: Kamala, Thor, Logan, and Quill. You go after the key in Knowhere. Ghost Rider, Moon Knight and I will search the one in Mephisto's realm.

(the heroes nod for yes, and they move on. End of the cutscene)

Cutscene 75: "Your Souls Will Be Mine!"
(cutscene opens with Peter / Spider-Man, Moon Knight and Ghost Rider arriving at Mephisto's realm)
 * Spider-Man: (checks on the radar) The key's straight up ahead. The sooner we retrieve it, the sooner we get out of this infernal place.
 * Moon Knight: Regardless of how infernal this place is, should be easier as long as there's no one else after the key.
 * Ghost Rider: (sees a cloud of darkness) Won't be so easy as you think, then...

(a maniacal laughter is heard from the clouds, which fade away, revealing Blackheart)
 * Blackheart: I find it impressive how you remain so observant about everything, Blaze.
 * Moon Knight: Blackheart. A busy day for evil demons.
 * Spider-Man: As much as we'd love to stick around yours and your dad's kingdom, we the good guys here are a little too busy here. So, unless you want us to get medieval on you... stay out of our way, will you?
 * Blackheart: Foolish mortals. Do you truly believe your meaningless threats will intimidate me? I am the son of Mephisto. The prince of darkness! Destroyer of all souls that worship light! And you... you are nothing but worms crawling in my domain! And your souls will be mine! As will the keys to the Soul Stone...
 * Ghost Rider: (ignites his chains with hellfire) Your territory or not, you will stay out of our way!

(end of the cutscene, cue to the "Midnight Inferno" mission)

Cutscene 76: "Only One Key to Go"
(following the "Midnight Inferno" mission, Spider-Man, Ghost Rider and Moon Knight, who stand before a defeated Blackheart. After Spider-Man snatches the Soul Key, Blackheart gets up, but not before Ghost Rider teleports himself, Spider-Man and Moon Knight out of Mephisto's Realm)
 * Blackheart: (growling angrily) We are not finished, Ghost Rider. One day, I will have those souls! And your realm will be MINE! (his yell echoes)

(meanwhile, Spider-Man, Ghost Rider and Moon Knight return to the Skrull Resistance Island with the key)
 * Spider-Man: Wasn't much of a terrifying ordeal like I was concerned it would. And by "terrifying ordeal", I would mean...
 * Moon Knight: ...if Mephisto himself found out that the key was in his kingdom, and he had the same plan Blackheart had in mind. Yep, we figured.
 * Ghost Rider: We were just lucky the keys were just a beacon for the Stone. Otherwise, Mephisto would've sensed it.
 * Spider-Man: And yet, it was just like the fragments of the Surfer's fragments in Latveria, I believe.
 * Ghost Rider: (staring at another direction) Speaking of which... (Mary Jane and Diego approach) looks like your girlfriend and her big cat found some more.

(Spider-Man unmasks himself as he and Ghost Rider and Moon Knight address to Mary Jane and Diego)
 * Mary Jane Watson: Diego and other heroes did, mostly. Because, as you know, I had to keep holding the racing flags for the circuits in Latveria. And, you guys? Did you find the key you were looking for?
 * Peter Parker: Had to wrestle with Blackheart in Mephisto's Realm to get there, but yep. (shows Mary Jane the Soul Key) We did.
 * Moon Knight: And with this one and others down... only one to go, now.

(end of the cutscene)

Cutscene 77: "Knowhere to Go"
(cutscene opens with Ms. Marvel, Thor, Star-Lord and Wolverine arriving at Knowhere)
 * Ms. Marvel: This should be easy. As long as that key doesn't fall in the Collector's hands, we'll be on our way in no time.
 * Wolverine: (notices a Knowhere dealer selling robot heads) The Collector might not be the only one we have to worry about, though.
 * Star-Lord: Wolverine's right. Arcade might still have some of the fragments of the Surfer's board that Rocket, Groot and others hadn't seen. He might be using them to power up his robots so they can travel in space...
 * Thor: ...and hunt for more than what he already possesses.

(the heroes find the Soul Key straight up ahead, and notice the Collector gathering more items for his museum)
 * Ms. Marvel: Still can't trust that guy after that incident in the Grandmaster's coliseum. (shapeshifts into numerous small animals to sneak her way to the key, and obtains it) That's that. Now, all we have to do is... (radars beep, alerting of danger) uh oh.

(the heroes watch as a cosmic teleportation portal opens, and numerous Arcade robots appear from it)
 * Thor: So it begins...

(one of the robots flies towards the Collector's tower, and breaks through his museum, startling the Collector)
 * The Collector: Who dares barge into my museum?!

(the robot displays a view screen showcasing Arcade)
 * Arcade: So, this is where rare prizes are kept safe across the Galaxy. You truly live up to your reputation as the Collector, don't you? (giggles diabolically) Now, if you would be so gentle... where is the Soul Key?
 * The Collector: The Soul Key?! What makes you think I have the Soul Keys?! (realizes) Carina, the monitors! Quickly! (Carina turns on the monitors, revealing the Soul Key is in Knowhere) It's here! (notices one of the heroes in the Knowhere) They must have it! They're your enemies!

(the robots notice Thor, Star-Lord and Wolverine)
 * Wolverine: (growls and draws his claws) I really hate this guy!

(end of the cutscene, cue to the "Out of Knowhere" mission)

Cutscene 78: "A Bifrost of My Own"
(following the "Out of Knowhere" mission, the heroes continue fighting Arcade's robots. Thor approaches Ms. Marvel, who has one of Arcade's robots pinned down)
 * Thor: Go back to Midgard, Kamala Khan. You are not safe here. (Kamala nods for agreement as Thor ignites his hammer with electricity) Do you need me to summon Bifrost?
 * Ms. Marvel: No need. I kinda got a Bifrost of my own. (punches the robot, absorbing the Silver Fragments with her Quantum Band, and uses it to open a teleportation portal) What about you and the others?
 * Thor: We will keep these robotic demons occupied. Go!

(Ms. Marvel hops into the portal, as Thor rejoins the fight. End of the cutscene)

Cutscene 79: "Payback Time"
(cutscene opens with Peter / Spider-Man and Mary Jane, who watch as Kamala returns)
 * Mary Jane Watson: Did you get it? (Kamala nods for yes, and shows them the Soul Key) What about Thor, Quill and Logan?
 * Ms. Marvel: Giving us time. Arcade sent his robots to Knowhere after the key. He still got some of the fragments with him.
 * Peter Parker: Then, we have no more time to waste. If we're gonna do it, we gotta do it now.
 * Mary Jane Watson: Not here, though. We've got no idea what the Soul Stone will cause after we summon it. It could either crash-land on the Island, and wreak tremendous havoc. Or worse, it could summon a beacon that might expose the Skrulls' location to either the Kree or Thanos.
 * Peter Parker: You're right. We can't afford to let that happen.
 * Kamala Khan: What do we do, then?

(they notice the image of MadWorld)
 * Peter Parker: Well... I'm not much of a payback guy. But in this psycho's case, I might make an exception.
 * Kamala Khan: You know what? Me too.

(a determined Mary Jane nods for yes. Next scene, they sneak into MadWorld with Diego)
 * Mary Jane Watson: I'll find a safe area to summon the Stone. Think you and Kamala can handle him?
 * Peter Parker: Relax, MJ. Sure, Arcade's a deranged thug. But he's no Thanos. Or Galactus for that matter...
 * Mary Jane Watson: Do be careful, though. (kisses him) Go get 'em, Tiger.

(Peter and Kamala put on their masks, and break into MadWorld's open areas)
 * Spider-Man: Now, all we have to do is draw him out.
 * Ms. Marvel: Leave that to me. (yelling with a deep voice) ARCAAAADE!!!! (her yell shakes the ground)
 * Spider-Man: Wow. That was... a little excessive. (they see Arcade arriving in his vehicle) But it worked, nice move.
 * Arcade: Well, well, well... if it isn't New York's friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, and everyone's favorite inhuman hero Ms. Marvel. I was dying to see you join my beloved park! The one place you won't be leaving. The one place you'll learn to enjoy...
 * Ms. Marvel: The only thing we're gonna enjoy is (banging her fists) kicking your butt, and shut this nasty palace of yours down!
 * Spider-Man: You heard my friend, Arcade. With or without those fragments that you stole... you're going down.
 * Arcade: (laughs) Oh, you amuse me, Spider! On a way others couldn't. And I'm dying to make the finest attraction ever! Get ready... for Boss Battle!!

(end of the cutscene, cue to the "Drive-In Madness" mission)

Cutscene 80: "Game Over, Arcade!"
(following the "Drive-In Madness" mission, Arcade is ejected from his pod, which explodes, and sends him flying to Spider-Man's and Ms. Marvel's feet)
 * Spider-Man: I admit it... it's been fun, Arcade. Just a shame you came to this far just to hear from me and Ms. Marvel those two old words about games: (mimicking an arcade game announcer, with a deep voice) GAME OVER.
 * Arcade: You think it's over?! As long as MadWorld lives, I'll still have the power! And I won't stop until...! (suddenly, the power on MadWorld begins to fail) What?! (an orange primordial light descends from the skies, and lands on MadWorld, destroying most of the attractions) No! Not my beloved attractions!! (the light, revealed to be the Soul Stone, descends to Mary Jane's hands, as the Soul Keys disintegrate. Arcade watches as a statue of himself falls into pieces) NOOO!!!
 * Mary Jane Watson: Cut it out, Reggie. Do you really have to make a scene everytime your toys fall apart? Then, you say you're "gonna be better than daddy and big bro".
 * Arcade: (getting up; angrily) And what do you know about me, Watson?! Nothing! You're just a damsel-in-distress like those... singers, cheerleaders, or whatever that alien old man calls you. You're not gonna deny me the Soul Stone...! (tries to punch Mary Jane, but she easily blocks the punch)
 * Mary Jane Watson: Lead singer of the Mary Janes? Me. (elbows Arcade in his nose) High schooler studying to be an actress? Also me. (Arcade runs towards Mary Jane, but she slaps him) Flag girl in the Grandmaster's racing tournament? Still me. (uppercuts him with a kick) But don't get any ideas of thinking me as a damsel-in-distress. (Arcade weakly approaches Mary Jane, but she punches him, knocking him in the ground) That term is degrading and disrespectful.
 * Spider-Man: You tell him, princess. (Mary Jane smiles at him, as Arcade tries to get up) And another thing, Arcade... you do realize you just threatened MJ, don't you? Because there others like you, who sought to have a less than appropriate approach on her. But they all shared the same fate. (Diego steps on Arcade's back with his front paws, and growls at him, as Arcade reacts in complete horror) Mauled into a savage pulp by her big cat. They survived... but they also ensured a fate worse than oblivion. So, I ask: who's the "damsel-in-distress", now?
 * Arcade: (whimpering) Me?
 * Spider-Man and Mary Jane Watson: (unison) Exactly.

(Diego lunges his jaws on Arcade's head, biting him off-screen. Scene shifts to the destroyed MadWorld as Arcade is heard screaming. Next scene, Arcade (petrified and with a large bandage in his bitten head) is being dragged by two S.H.I.E.L.D. agents to a ship)
 * Ms. Marvel: (to Mary Jane) Peter said bad things happen to these guys when Diego bites their heads. Like, what happens to them for example?
 * Mary Jane Watson: Effects are random; some of them get haunting hallucinations, like Flynn and Marsh, who still hallucinate about man-tigers beating them up, taunting them, torturing them... still others, like very likely Arcade here... they're tormented by traumatic, very problematic nightmares, like Flash still has those nightmares of a tiger-headed monster truck chasing him tirelessly. At least, it's what I heard from some mental institute doctors who checked on them.
 * Ms. Marvel: Does this mean Diego has some sort of psychic power along with the super-soldier serum he got?
 * Mary Jane Watson: I kinda heard of cat people who have like hypnotic powers. Just like Felicia can give bad luck to thugs who look at her in the eyes. Now, Diego? (pauses) It’s best not to question it.
 * Ms. Marvel: Okay.

(scene shifts to the heroes back to the Skrull Resistance Island, where their vehicles are being carried back to Hogan's truck trailers, with Peter watching)
 * Peter Parker: (to himself) Just a few more fragments of the Surfer's board and only one Infinity Stone left. Let's hope we'll make this trip across the universe for the Grand Prix count.
 * Captain America: (offscreen) And we will. (notices Captain America approaching) We came to this far... now, we'll make it to the end of the line.

(Peter nods for yes, and they hop to their trailers)
 * Happy Hogan: (through the speakers) Attention, crew. Fasten your seatbelts. Because we're going out of orbit in a few seconds.
 * Kamala Khan: Out of... what?? (the trailers and trucks are converted into a fleet of spaceships; stunned) OMG! Our next base is in space!
 * Peter Parker: Deep breaths, Kamala. We don't want you to get sick in this ride.

(the fleet takes off into space. Meanwhile in Knowhere, the Collector sees his museum in ruins)
 * The Collector: Those so-called heroes and their chaotic battles! They will pay for this! (notices something in one of Arcade's destroyed robots, and inspects it. He finds a fragment of the Silver Surfer's board in it, and then, sees an Orb in his collection. The Collector smiles devilish) And what am I waiting for? (laughs diabolically. Scene shows Knowhere's orbit as the Collector's laughter echoes)
