Marvel Superhero Adventures: Intergalactic Grand Prix/Transcript/Chapter 3

The transcript for "Hexpoint", the third chapter of the story mode of Marvel Superhero Adventures: Intergalactic Grand Prix.

Cutscene 34: "Welcome to the Harbinger's Hex"
(cutscene opens with the heroes flying on Scarlet Witch's ship. A silhouetted Uatu the Watcher is shown observing them)
 * Uatu the Watcher: (narrating) And the road to the Infinity goes on, as predicted and planned. With two phases of the Intergalactic Grand Prix hosted by the Grandmaster complete, two Infinity Stones in their possession, and another part of the Silver Surfer's Cosmic Board reassembled, our heroes make great progress on their journey and objective. They also remain prepared to battle more evils seeking to obtain the fragments of the Surfer's board, and abuse of their power...
 * Kamala Khan: So... what exactly is the Harbinger's Hex like? Is it anything like an island of witches of Salem, or...?
 * Peter Parker: Not really. It's more like an alternate dimension which Wanda created with the finest use of Chaos Magic, which was boosted by duplicates of the Reality Stone. I know, I've seen it before. Back when that insane colonel Stryker hired Mysterio to help him with his latest scheme against the mutants...
 * Captain America: ...which backfired so miserably when Mysterio betrayed him, and tried to use Stryker's Sentinels to expand his illusions across everywhere in the planet. We remember. It happened like months ago, but it's still well documented.

(the ship approaches a hexagonal red portal)
 * Scarlet Witch: Very well, everyone... we're here. Welcome... to the Harbinger's Hex.
 * (the ship crosses over the portal, entering the Harbinger's Hex, where the heroes are marvelled to see a heavenly paradise palace)
 * Gwen Stacy: Let me the first to say it. This place is beautiful!
 * Mary Jane Watson: And a thousand times more real than Mysterio's creepy illusions.

(the ship lands in a parking area, where Wanda greets Vision)
 * Scarlet Witch: How are things going, Vis?
 * Vision: Everything the way you left it, dear. All according to your design. (the heroes exit the ship, with Vision greeting them) And greetings, friends. Wanda and I are hopeful that you will enjoy your stay in the Harbinger's Hex.
 * Thor: We most certainly will, friend Vision.
 * Kamala Khan: I know I'm already enjoying it.

(end of the cutscene)

Cutscene 35: "Going on Ice"
(cutscene opens with Peter / Spider-Man approaching Shuri, who are checking on the container of the Silver fragments)
 * Peter Parker: Anything on scans about where to find more of them?
 * Shuri: I have good news, and bad news for you in this. The good news is: more fragments were found. The bad news is: those fragments are in one of our least favorite places in the universe. (Shuri displays images of the next fragments' location: Jotunheim)
 * Peter Parker: Jotunheim.
 * Shuri: Home of the Asgardians' ancient enemies, the Frost Giants. And Loki.
 * Peter Parker: Considering how powerful these fragments are, they're also too dangerous in the hands in the hands of the Prince of Lies.
 * Shuri: No doubt. But, there are good news about the fragments as well. According to my sources, a herd of winged horses from Asgard which found refuge after getting lost in Jotunheim during a storm have been collecting the shards. And keeping their young safe. They'll have much to do until someone will search for them, and take them home.
 * Peter Parker: Since we're not sure how busy other Asgardians are with other realms, or with Fin Fang Foom... I'll have to go there.
 * Jean Grey: (offscreen) Not alone, of course.

(Peter hears her voice, and turns around to see Jean / Phoenix and Winter Soldier)
 * Winter Soldier: No, we're not trying to stop you from trying to save those horses, or get the fragments they found. But, we also don't think you should go there by yourself.
 * Jean Grey: He's right. As you know, Jotunheim is not just the homeland of Thor's trickster brother and the Frost Giants. It's also one of the universe's coldest lands. You could freeze pretty hard in there, unless you have proper protection.
 * Winter Soldier: So, either you want it or not... we're going with you.
 * Peter Parker: Okay, if you insist...

(scene shifts to Jotunheim, where Spider-Man, Phoenix and Winter Soldier arrive via a Space Stone portal)
 * Mary Jane Watson: (radio voice) Are you sure about this?
 * Spider-Man: Don't worry, we won't be long. We'll be back as soon as we find the herd and the fragments with them.
 * Mary Jane Watson: (radio voice) Okay. Let me know when you're done, so I'll teleport you back. Good luck, Tiger. (ends contact)
 * Winter Soldier: So, what's the plan?
 * Spider-Man: Since we know the herd is taking shelter in the same place, we should probably find one wondering around, and follow it there. Anyone close by, Jean?
 * Phoenix: (using telepathy, she hears a neigh) Yes. Right in front of us. (she and group find the flying horse standing in front of them, noticing them, and neighing softly) He knows why we're here. And he wants us to follow him.
 * Winter Soldier: Well... it's a good thing these horses are smart enough to know who they can trust.

(the flying horse flies away, and three share an agreeing nod and follow him. End of the cutscene, cue to the "Snowblind" mission)

Cutscene 36: "Winged Steeds Lost and Found"
(following the "Snowblind" mission, Peter / Spider-Man, Jean / Phoenix and Winter Soldier follow the winged horse into a cave. There, they are surprised by the number of winged steeds residing in there, with females keeping their foals warm, and others helping their injured herd leader, who is keeping the Silver fragments safe. The three heroes then approach the winged horses to calm them down)
 * Winter Soldier: (petting an exhausted male) Yeah, yeah. I know.
 * Phoenix (approaching a timid foal) Shh. Shh. It's okay.
 * Spider-Man: (approaching the leader, and consoling him) Look at you... yeah, I know. (to himself) We really can't let them suffer like this. (turns on his ear communicator) MJ, we found them.
 * Mary Jane Watson: (radio voice) Got it.

(a Space Stone portal is opened, and Spider-Man and his group are met with Thor, Captain Marvel and Iron Man, who help them take the herd safely to the Harbinger's Hex, as Spider-Man and Iron Man retrieve the Silver fragmemts. Next scene, the herd is resting in the guardens of the Harbinger's Hex. The foals are playing peacefully with the adults wandering around, while Foster and Sarah nurse the leader to health, and Shuri and Stark place the collected fragments in the container)
 * Mary Jane Watson: (petting a winged foal) I'm truly glad that despite all that struggle, these beautiful creatures survived that horrible cold. Who knows what would've become of them next?
 * Thor: Only those who would survive Jotunheim for much longer, like those Frost Giants. And Loki...
 * Peter Parker: Yeah. Worst thing Loki could do than just let these horses freeze to death... would be faking his own attempts to save them. Just to win some glory in Asgard.
 * Thor: Aye. A bigger hypocrisy than any of his lies and excuses.
 * Peter Parker: (sees Diego chewing a ragdoll based on J. Jonah Jameson) If not bigger than a certain jerk I used to know.
 * Hank Pym: (his radar beeps) Speaking of hypocrites, I have to check my lab. Scans indicate there's someone pretending to be me to access its data. Either it's another of those shapeshifting thieves, or anything like those Super-Adaptoids we fought against earlier... I have to check it out just in case... (he rushes to a dimensional portal, with Wasp following him. End of the cutscene)

Cutscene 37: "Twisted Reflections"
(cutscene opens in a lab of Pym Industries, where Dr. Pym / Ant-Man and Wasp arrive)
 * The Wasp: (noticing the untouched items) Doesn't look like there's an intruder here, Hank. Everything's the way we left it.
 * Ant-Man: The lab so far, maybe not. (radars detect the intruder) But the Quantum Realm test area... (the pair head to the Quantum Realm test area, where they confront the silhouetted intruder) Now, I'm only gonna ask this once: who are you? And what do you want with my projects?
 * ???: (speaking with a sinister tone of Pym's voice) I believe you mean our projects, Hank.

(the intruder reveals himself as a twisted, sinister version of Pym himself in a black and yellow suit)
 * Wasp: He's you, Hank! In that Yellowjacket suit that Osborn built for Darren Cross with your tech.
 * Ant-Man: He has to be just another clone. Maybe also another shape-shifting thief. It can't be real.

(Yellowjacket fires a beam of his Quantum Particle gun at them, and they dodge)
 * Yellowjacket: No clone, no shape-shifter. I'm just as real as both of you are.
 * Wasp: So, what are you? Another dimension traveler? Another evil time traveler like Kang?
 * Yellowjacket: Whatever I am, I'm still Hank Pym. Except superior.
 * Ant-Man: "Superior"? More like just another twisted reflection. One that's leaving this world, now!

(Ant-Man and Yellowjacket leap towards each other to fight, with scene going slow motion. End of the cutscene, cue to the "The Once and the Future Hank" mission)

Cutscene 38: "A Crack in Reality"
(following the "The Once and the Future Hank" mission, Ant-Man and Wasp stand before a defeated Yellowjacket, who begins to glitch, much to the couple's confusion. Then, Yellowjacket vanishes, with his remains turning into Silver fragments and four duplicates of the Reality Stone)
 * The Wasp: He was just a copy. From some sort of illusionist.
 * Ant-Man: (using his devices to analyze the fragments and the duplicates) And I doubt this was Wanda's doing. There's no trace of witchcraft or Chaos Magic in the fragments.
 * The Wasp: Still... someone used those copies of the Reality Stone to create Yellowjacket with these fragments. And whoever that was...
 * Ant-Man: ...might be doing it for the same purpose as the Collector when he sought to take Grandmaster's throne.

(scene shifts to the pair returning to the Harbinger's Hex, and meeting with Peter / Spider-Man, Mary Jane and Diego)
 * Peter Parker: So, how was it?
 * Janet Van Dyne: (while petting Diego) After what we saw, we prefer not to talk it. Except of course, of what created that intruder.
 * Mary Jane Watson: More fragments of the Surfer's board?
 * Hank Pym: Powered by prototypes of the Reality Stone. Not the same that Wanda's using for the Hex. But still likewise powerful.
 * Peter Parker: And whoever's using these fragments and those prototypes of the Stone... is very much up to no good. We really have to find them before someone else does.
 * Hank Pym: (checking his radars) Radars indicate there are some more blurring in Savage Land. That should be the next place we could check out.
 * Mary Jane Watson: (her communicators beep, and she answers) Watson here. Uh huh. Yes. Yes, sir. On the way. (ends call) Yeah, such a coincidence that you're looking for fragments in Savage Island.
 * Janet Van Dyne: Let me guess: the next course of the Grand Prix is there. Right?
 * Mary Jane Watson: As scheduled.
 * Hank Pym: Could be a fine opportunity, then. Some of us completing the courses, while others search for the fragments.

(the group gives an agreeing nod)
 * Peter Parker: Well, then... (puts on his mask) Savage Land, it is.

(Cutscene ends)

Cutscene 39: "A Savage Briefing"
(cutscene opens with Phil Coulson and Robbie Robertson on their live announcement)
 * Phil Coulson: And welcome, sports fans, to another round of the Intergalactic Grand Prix! With me, Phil Coulson.
 * Robbie Robertson: And me, Robbie Robertson. And today's course takes place on Savage Land, home of the most savage wonders. Including of course... dinosaurs.

(footage of Savage Land is shown)
 * Phil Coulson: Yes, sir. This course promises to be a challenging one. Not just because of the dinosaurs, but because of other hazards. Including the volcano which was once the lair of the X-Men's foe Sauron. But fortunately, as our reporter Betty Brant confirmed, the administrator of Savage Land has created a challenging, yet safe path for our racers. Isn't that right, Betty? We pass the word to you.

(we see Betty in a track of Savage Land)
 * Betty Brant: Absolutely, agent Coulson. As we can see, it was a well designed and well crafted race track on Savage Land. Planned by the island's administrator, ruler and guardian, Devil Dinosaur... (Devil Dinosaur appears behind Betty, genuinely waving at cameras) who's likewise excited to see our racers competing in his track. Isn't that right, Devil?
 * Devil Dinosaur: (growls and roars translated by onscreen subtitles) Me Devil build track. Me set challenge.

(scene shifts to Spider-Man, Iron Man, Wolverine and Hulk watching Betty's live interview in their phones)
 * Wolverine: Hard to believe that T-Rex actually built this track for us to ride on.
 * Hulk: Devil may be a brute like both of us. A bigger brute than both of us. But he's smart. I know. Moon Girl does, too.
 * Spider-Man: Well, think of the things that matter, guys. He's still contributing like even Odin and Zeus did.
 * Wolverine: Whatever you say, Webhead. (to Stark) So who're we riding against?
 * Iron Man: Well, according to our schedules as MJ confirmed, the opponent team will have... (before he can finish, the opposing villains appear) the ogres who are coming now.

(the opposing villains arrive one by one, starting with Doctor Octopus)
 * Doctor Octopus: (exiting his vehicle) Surprised to see me, Wallcrawler?
 * Spider-Man: Only surprised that the Grandmaster didn't disqualify you from the tournament, like he should have. Even after your little scheme with the Sinister Six in Midtown.
 * ???: Those pathetic fools were nothing more than a test for you and your comrades, Spider.

(the second villain appears in a lion-headed zebra-colored quadbike, revealing himself as Kraven the Hunter)
 * Kraven the Hunter: Your real lesson is at hand.
 * Spider-Man: Kraven.
 * Kraven the Hunter: And one we consider your twin... Mr. Eddie Brock.

(Brock appears in a motorized tricycle)
 * Hulk: (laughs) Really? Some puny small-rate thug?
 * Spider-Man: Not quite as it seems, Hulk.
 * Eddie Brock: You heard the Webhead, Jade Jaws. You heard... (with blackened eyes and a distorted, inhuman voice) the Spider.

(Brock transforms into Venom, who emerges laughing deviously)
 * Wolverine: (to Spider-Man) How many more villains of yours did the Collector hire?
 * Spider-Man: A few more. Including one who was even part-time ally.

(the fourth villain appears: Michael Morbius)
 * Hulk: Morbius?
 * Wolverine: You know him?
 * Hulk: He's a scientist who got mutated into a vampire during his experiments with bats. Jen was in touch with him. She was his lawyer, once.
 * Michael Morbius: And before either you, or your cousin, or Spider-Man ask, Hulk... I'm only here for the money which the Collector promised. Unlike (points at the two remaining villains behind him) these two, who obsess with humiliating you.

(the two remaining villains are revealed: the Leader and Abomination)
 * The Leader: Not just humiliate him, Morbius. But also crush his spirit. So that he'll lose control, and become the monster again.

(Hulk snarls)
 * Spider-Man: Six of them, and... where are the other two of us?
 * Iron Man They said they'd "arrive with style" in this one.

(they hear a scooter coming)
 * ???:(offscreen; singing) YODEL-AY-YODEL-AY-YODEL-AY-EE-OOOO!!!
 * Kraven the Hunter and The Leader: (unison and face-palming) Oh, good grief! Him!

(the scooter rider arrives, revealed to be Deadpool)
 * Deadpool: Yay, me! Coming at ya, at maximum effort!
 * Camera Taglines: DEADPOOL. MERC WITH A MOUTH. A REAL ROADKILL.
 * Deadpool: (one of Betty's drone cameras film him, and he addresses to it) And I wrote the script for this entrance. All by myself.
 * Spider-Man: (to Kraven and the Leader) So? Why so bitter to him?
 * Kraven the Hunter: Apart of you, he cost me a great amount of money!
 * The Leader: And stole a priceless device I took decades to rebuild! (to Deadpool) And either you survive this or not, you will suffer for your mockery!
 * Deadpool: (mockingly) Ooooh, I'm shaking in my custom baby seal leather boots! Just like our teammate is chattering for nuts.

(both groups are surrounded by a horde of squirrels)
 * Abomination: (scoffs) Squirrels? Really? Is that all you got...? (realizes) No!
 * Venom: No, no, not now!
 * Both: Not her!
 * Deadpool: (with a maniacal tone) Oh, ho ho ho. Yes, her... (standing in front of Betty's drone camera, with a microphone) A racer you've all been asking for, ladies and gentlemen! She who made even the World Devourer tremble! The one and only! The Rodent Princess! The Avenging Nutball! The Slayer of All That Breathes! The Unbeatable... (the sixth racer in the heroes' team appears with a squirrel-themed go-kart, summer-saults in air for a pose, and winks at the camera) SQUIRREL GIRL!! With a special guest: Tippy-Toe!

(Tippy-Toe leaps on Squirrel Girl's left shoulder, waving at the camera. Venom and Abomination freak out)
 * Abomination: Why her? WHY IS SHE HERE?! WHO INVITED HER IN?!! SOMEBODY ANSWER ME!!!
 * Venom: Days of humiliation are coming back! We can feel it! THE HUMILIATION!!
 * Doctor Octopus: Control yourselves, you fools!
 * Mary Jane Watson: (to Spider-Man about Venom and Abomination) Why are they acting so paranoid?
 * Spider-Man: They're still embarrassed from the last time they fought Squirrel Girl. And lost in very few minutes.
 * Hulk: (whispering for Mary Jane) And I recorded it all in my phone.

(Squirrel Girl joins the gang, as Tippy is licked gently by Diego, and hops on his head)
 * Spider-Man: Looking good today, Squirrel. Ready for this big ride?
 * Squirrel Girl: Ready and eager, Spidey! (wraps her arms around Spider-Man and Mary Jane) Mamma's got brand new wheels waiting for first use!
 * Mary Jane Watson: Glad you do, because we've got a race to begin. So I say... (materializes her racing flag, and turns on her ear communicator) To your vehicles, racers!
 * Kraven the Hunter: (noticing Deadpool mocking him and the Leader) Either we win or lose, the sooner we finish this course, the sooner we relieve ourselves from that lunatic.
 * The Leader: (noticing Venom and Abomination hopping on their vehicles. breathing heavily) And of those two idiots' paranoia with (referring to Squirrel Girl) that rodent as well, I hope.

(End of the cutscene, cue to the "Ride of the Beasts" mission)

Cutscene 40: "A Savage Win"
(following the "Ride of the Beasts" mission, the heroes return to the Harbinger's Hex triumphantly. While Squirrel Girl greets the Mary Janes, Peter / Spider-Man is met with Kamala / Ms. Marvel)
 * Kamala Khan: How did everything go on your race?
 * Peter Parker: Oh, pretty good. And, wow. You should've seen Venom's and Abomination's faces when Squirrel Girl made an entrance. They freaked out like never before, as if the world was gonna end in seconds.
 * Kamala Khan: Wow, were they that traumatized by how she beat them to a pulp last time?
 * Peter Parker: Considering the numerous victories she had. Against Thanos and even Galactus... no doubt about it. Other villains weren't scared of her, but were kinda annoyed by how paranoid Venom and Abomination were. Well... at least, Kraven and Morbius expressed their respect for Doreen. Probably since that team up Doreen and Kraven had once... and like Morbius respects a lot of heroes like She-Hulk.
 * Kamala Khan: That's good. At least, two bad guys have some sense in their heads. By the way, I've been checking on Savage Land like Doctor Pym and Jan suggested, and... (reveals some of the Silver fragments in her possession) just to be sure they won't ruin Devil Dinosaur's hard work.
 * Peter Parker: Nice.
 * Kamala Khan: (checks a holographic agenda in her bangle) Now if no one minds... (puts on her mask) I gotta go get either my kart or my scooter. I'm on the next group on Savage Land, and I don't wanna be late.

(Kamala rushes to the vehicles, with Felicia Hardy / Black Cat and Diego noticing her)
 * Felicia Hardy: (to Diego) While she and her group are on their race, I should probably go after some more fragments before it's my group's turn. (Diego nods for agreement, as Felicia checks her holographic radar, as the Hulk silently notices her) And if these sources are right, there are some more lost in the Raft. Better go check it out while there's still time.

(just then, Hulk notices a statue of himself fighting what appears to be another Hulk in the middle of sell bars. Then, he approaches Felicia)
 * Hulk: (to Felicia) You're heading to the Raft. Right?
 * Felicia Hardy: Right.
 * Hulk: Because I'm going with you. Just in case another trouble happens, like... you know, that guy... (refers to a statue of Fin Fang Foom)
 * Felicia Hardy: Yes, I get it. And sure. Because I really could use a big muscle like yours just in case there's a breakout in the Raft.

(Hulk nods for agreement and they rush to a teleportation portal. End of the cutscene)

Cutscene 41: "Red Hulk Out"
(cutscene opens with Black Cat and Hulk arriving in the Raft, and spot Director Nick Fury and Maria Hill, who are overseeing supervilllains being carried to their sells)
 * Nick Fury: What brings you and Hulk to the Raft, Agent Hardy?
 * Black Cat: Nothing too much, sir. Just a little something silver which's detected in the Raft. And the big guy and I trust you know what that is?
 * Maria Hill: More fragments of the Silver Surfer's surfboard. Yes, we noticed. (reveals the fragments in her possession) We were going to contact you about them, although our sources kept saying you were offline.
 * Black Cat: Oh, yeah. About that...
 * Nick Fury: You're in the Harbinger's Hex. We know, Maximoff notified us about it.
 * Hulk: (notices an energy dome appearing) Just like I more personally figured that something was coming. (Black Cat, Fury and Hill notice the dome, which disappears, revealing the Red Hulk) Ross!
 * Black Cat: The Red Hulk. Busy day for hypocrites and zealots.
 * Red Hulk: (grunting and trying to pull himself together) Must... obey... master! Must... recruit... army! (his yellow eyes ignite in purple)
 * Maria Hill: Why does it look like he's in some sort of mind control?
 * Hulk: Don't know, don't care... just gonna smash!

(Hulk and Red Hulk rush towards each other, and fight each other)
 * Black Cat: Isn't there any good red to help us in this?
 * ???: (offscreen) You want "good red"?

(from the shadows, appears Daredevil)
 * Daredevil: Then by all means, I'll give you a "good red".

(Black Cat smiles, and they rush to help Hulk. End of the cutscene, cue to the "Prison Brakes" mission)

Cutscene 42: "Another Mutant Mastermind"
(following the "Prison Brakes" cutscene, the S.H.I.E.L.D. operatives return the runaway villains to their cells, with Red Hulk contained in Gamma powered chains)
 * Beast: This new Anti-Gamma system should keep Red Hulk at bay. You won't need to worry about him for a very long time.
 * Hulk: Serves him right.
 * Daredevil: As long as he doesn't rage.
 * Nick Fury: (noticing Red Hulk) Still... he wasn't much of his usual talkative self.
 * Maria Hill: I noticed. He also acted like he was the one obeying orders, and not giving them.
 * Black Cat: And how he got here... (her wrist radars beep, and she uses them to analyze Red Hulk's brain functions) his brain was being affected by Omega level mutant energies.
 * Hulk: So there's another mutant mastermind behind this?
 * Daredevil: Whoever it is, it would have to be a truly powerful one. Other mutant telepaths wouldn't have such power to control monsters like (referring to Red Hulk) him.
 * Maria Hill: (checks Black Cat's data about Red Hulk) And whoever that mutant is... its power levels indicate it's like older than any other mutant born. Like billion years older.
 * Black Cat: Our finest guess: this mutant might be like from another universe. One that Kang might have brought here in his failed attempts to rewrite time. Just saying.
 * Nick Fury: (noticing the Silver fragments) And whoever that mutant is... might be just another seeking these fragments. And for the sake of everything we care, that mutant must not have them.

(end of the cutscene)

Cutscene 43: "All About Ego"
(cutscene opens in Ego the Living Planet, with heroes and villains preparing for their race)
 * Ms. Marvel: So, there's another evil mutant after the Surfer's board fragments?
 * Hulk: That's what Black Cat and Fury confirmed. They also said this mutant is almost as old as even the Asgardians.
 * Kid Arachnid: First we had Sauron, then we had Deathbird, and now this god-like mutant? What else do we have to worry about? Another more powerful variant of Kang?
 * Hulk: Could be worse. If he were as powerful as he used to be, Kang could've brought something far worse.

(they notice Betty interviewing Ego through his avatar form)
 * Betty Brant: And on terms of performances, which of the heroes or villains do you think were the best, Mr. Ego?
 * Ego the Living Planet: My personal favorites would be ones with motorcycles. Including ones who are competing on my track now.
 * Hulk: (about Ego) He's talking about us, right?
 * Ms. Marvel: Could be us... (referring to the villains: Morbius, Madame Hydra, and Taskmaster, Titania and Venom) could be those five thugs with an ego... or...

(the three hear two more motorcycles incoming. First one is a pyrokinetic motorcycle, which stops next to Betty, Ego, and the competing racers. The racer is revealed as Ghost Rider)
 * Ghost Rider: Like all corrupt souls ate my fire, all amateurs in this race will eat my dust!
 * Camera Taglines: GHOST RIDER. SPIRIT OF VENGEANCE. FIERY KING OF THE ROAD.

(Betty's camera drones interview Morbius, Taskmaster, and Madame Hydra about Ghost Rider)
 * Michael Morbius: Is it part of my contract that I should face the Spirit of Vengeance himself? Absolutely not! You owe me double of the money you promised me for that, Collector!
 * Madame Hydra: I already found it insufferable enough that Deadpool was among the heroes chosen by the Grandmaster. But the Ghost Rider?! If I survive this, Collector, you will be hearing it all from me and all of my loyalists from Hydra!
 * Taskmaster: Big deal. I can still take on that bozo's flaming skull. They don't call me Taskmaster for nothing.

(the second motorcycle rider appears, leaping out of his motorcycle, and moving his cloak to resemble a Crescent Moon, with Kamala and Miles watching amazed)
 * Ms. Marvel: And that's...?
 * Kid Arachnid: (excited) Heck yeah, that is, baby!

(the rider lands on the ground, revealing himself as Moon Knight)
 * Moon Knight: Between my identities, may this one show you mercy.
 * Camera Tagline: MOON KNIGHT. AVATAR OF THE MOON. WILL HUNT YOU DAY AND NIGHT.

(Betty's drones interview Titania and Venom)
 * Titania: Okay, I know I'm racing with some big weirdos between those super-zeros the Grandmaster hired besides She-Hulk. But Ghost Rider and now Moon Knight? If I get outta here alive, you and I are gonna have a lot to talk about, Collector!
 * Venom: We don't like Moon Knight! (pauses) His three minds are too much for us.

(we see Ms. Marvel, Kid Arachnid and Hulk are met with Ghost Rider and Moon Knight)
 * Kid Arachnid: Surprised to see you guys decided to take part in the Grand Prix. For a while, we thought you'd be too busy with... you know...
 * Moon Knight: It felt like a good call. For the pleasure of a good ride. Underneath the Moon...
 * Ghost Rider: Same, although it was more personally because Blackheart accepted the Collector's offer. And if he's involved, it means bad news for the mortal souls.
 * Ms. Marvel: Blackheart?
 * Kid Arachnid: The son of Mephisto. And one of the most powerful and evil demons in the universe.
 * Mary Jane Watson: (speakers) The race is about to start. All participants, please get to your positions immediately.
 * Moon Knight: Another story for another time. Let's get to the race, first.

(others nod for agreement. Next, we see the heroes and villains getting their motorcycles to their positions for the race, as Ms. Marvel notices Ego's numerous avatar forms (taking different human shapes) appearing as the cheering crowd)
 * Ego: (in an avatar resembling Elvis Presley, with a black-striped orange jacket; to Diego) So... what's new, pussycat? (annoyed, Diego gives him a quick, angry roar, startling him) (nervously) Uh, okay. Never mind.
 * Ms. Marvel: (to herself) And to think the bad guys are the ones with the ego, now.

(end of the cutscene, cue to the "Alter Ego" mission)

Cutscene 44: "Solved Egos"
(following the "Alter Ego" mission, the five heroes return to the Harbinger's Hex)
 * Moon Knight: (pats Kamala's shoulder) T'was a good race, kid.
 * Ghost Rider: (gives Kamala a thumbs up) Hope to race with you again next course.

(Moon Knight and Ghost Rider go meet the others as Kamala is met with Gwen Stacy)
 * Gwen Stacy: Ghost Rider and Moon Knight showed you the moves?
 * Kamala Khan: Including the fanciest stunts. And it was awesome!
 * Hulk: (coming in with Silver Fragments in his hands) Where do I take those? (Kamala and Gwen point at the container, which is straight forward) Right.

(Hulk goes on)
 * Kamala Khan: So... are we gonna search for some more of the fragments.
 * Gwen Stacy: Well, I just finished my course on Savage Land. I'm scheduled to participate in Ego's track after the next two rounds... so, yeah. We maybe should. What do you think?
 * Kamala Khan: Alright. And if sources are right... there are still a few more that these winged horses didn't collect in Jotunheim.
 * Gwen Stacy: And like Peter said more than once: we should go get them before someone untrustworthy does.

(end of the cutscene)

Cutscene 45: "Cold Hot Pursuit"
(cutscene opens with Kamala / Ms. Marvel and Gwen / Ghost-Spider in Jotunheim)
 * Ghost-Spider: (checks her GPS, which is detecting Power Cosmic anomaly) Hopefully, it's just this spot. The sooner we get there and get the fragments, the sooner we'll get out of here before we freeze.
 * Ms. Marvel: (sees something nearby) Apart from the Frost Giants and other monsters who live in Jotunheim, there's just one big problem we should also worry about.

(Kamala points at the direction she was looking at, and she and Gwen see Amora the Enchantress and Skurge the Executioner coming from a portal)
 * Ghost-Spider: Drat! Can't we go anywhere without a villain following us?! (Amora and Skurge menacingly but silently approach the girls) Not gonna say anything like "Mind your own business, little mortals!" or "Go back to Midgard, or perish!"?

(a close-up reveals the villains' eyes igniting a purple aura)
 * Amora the Enchantress: (briefly snapping out of it and stammering) Ms. Marvel! Ghost-Spider! Help us! (but the aura returns and takes over again; distorted voice) Your master demands the fragments of the Herald's source of power. And we shall destroy any who stand in your way.

(Amora fires a dark magic wave at Ms. Marvel and Ghost-Spider, who dodge)
 * Ms. Marvel: Did she like... just ask us for help?
 * Ghost-Spider: Someone must be controlling them. Just like it happened to Red Hulk in the Raft.

(Skurge tries to attack the girls with his axe, but they dodge and counter-attack)
 * Ms. Marvel: Whoever it is, we can't let them get away with the fragments.

Cutscene 46: "Apocalypse Lives?!"
(following the "Frozen Face-Off" mission, Ms. Marvel and Ghost-Spider are shown with the recovered fragments, and standing before the defeated Amora and Skurge, who are free from their trance, but acting traumatized)
 * Amora the Enchantress: (sighs) It's... too late. Too... late.
 * Ms. Marvel: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Snap out of it! (slaps Amora) We want answers, now! So, tell us what happened. Who was controlling you?
 * Amora the Enchantress: The first born mutant of Midgard. He who was sealed away for centuries. He has assembled his four lieutenants, and now he longs to cleanse your realm. And all others with him! He can't be stopped!
 * Ghost-Spider: Don't count on it.

(Ms. Marvel and Ghost-Spider leave via a Space Stone portal. Next scene, back in the Harbinger's Hex, Scarlet Witch, Peter / Spider-Man, Captain America, Wolverine and Hulk are listening to Kamala and Gwen about what Amora told them)
 * Wolverine: The first born mutant?
 * Gwen Stacy: She also said he had four lieutenants. And seeks to "cleanse Earth".
 * Scarlet Witch: (pauses) En Sabah Nur. Also known as (shows them an image of Nur) the Apocalypse.
 * Kamala Khan: The Apocalypse?! As in one of your most powerful mutant foes?!
 * Peter Parker: Wasn't he destroyed by the X-Men like you said he was?
 * Scarlet Witch: Yes... but this is a different variant of him. One which Kang accidentally brought to our reality during his attempt to change time. This variant is not as powerful as the one our X-Men fought against. He's still evolving. But he still poses a great threat.
 * Vision: And he is not alone. As Amora the Enchantress might have advised you, the Apocalypse has four followers with him. Or as he prefers to call them: his Horsemen.

(Vision reveals silhouetted images of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse)
 * Captain America: Not sure who they are, but we have to stop them.

(end of the cutscene)

Cutscene 47: "Evil Reflections"
(cutscene opens with Spider-Man. Ms. Marvel, Captain America, Wolverine and Hulk in a Quinjet, arriving in the Temple of Apocalypse. The four Horsemen are shown helping Apocalypse rebuild his pyramid with the Reality Stone)
 * Spider-Man: So, what's the plan, Cap?
 * Captain America: Ms. Marvel, you retrieve the Reality Stone, and take it as away from the temple as possible. The rest of us will give it all we have to hold Apocalypse and his Horsemen back.
 * Ms. Marvel: Got it.

(Ms. Marvel leaps out of the Quinjet. Meanwhile, Apocalypse continues trying to harness the Reality Stone's power, until a peregrine falcon snatches it from his grasp. Dodging Apocalypse's beams, the falcon tricks him into destroying his healing altars. Escaping the collapsing Temple, the falcon approaches the heroes, revealing itself to be a shape-shifted Ms. Marvel)
 * Wolverine: Ya know, babe... as much as I knew you were a shape-shifter, I used to think you could just stretch your body like Richards or even change size like Pym. Never knew you could actually change your appearance like Mystique, or the Skrulls...
 * Ms. Marvel: Yeah, I know. That one, I tend to keep it in secret so much, that I almost forget to use it at times.
 * Captain America: Still, it was a helpful maneuver. One of the best we've seen. (Ms. Marvel smiles gratefully. Then, they hear Apocalypse roaring, and bursting out of the debris) Now, as you were advised to do, take the Stone as far away from here as you can.
 * Ms. Marvel: What about you?
 * Spider-Man: Don't worry, we got this.

(Ms. Marvel rushes away, as the Apocalypse spots the four angrily)
 * Apocalypse: My Horsemen... CRUSH THESE MORTALS!!!

(the Horsemen appear before the four heroes, with the first three revealing themselves as twisted versions of Captain America (Hydra Supreme), Spider-Man (who is in a Symbiote suit) and Wolverine (who is still Weapon X))
 * Wolverine: Oh, great. It had to be evil versions of us.
 * Spider-Man: Evil and aggressive, for that matter...

(Apocalypse uses his teleportation powers to summon Red Hulk, freeing him from his containment cell in the Raft, but still mind-controlling him)
 * Hulk: Again, Red? You must really be wanting for more.
 * Captain America: And by all means... we'll give them more.

(end of the cutscene, cue to the "Mirrors of Terror" mission)

Cutscene 48: "No More Horsemen"
(following the "Mirrors of Terror" mission, Spider-Man, Captain America, Wolverine and Hulk standing before their defeated counterparts, until Hydra Supreme, Symbiote Spider-Man and Weapon X shatter into pieces like glass, and dissolve)
 * Wolverine: And another crack of reality.
 * Captain America: Still just virtual copies like that Yellowjacket impostor that Doctor Pym and Wasp fought.
 * Spider-Man: (sees Red Hulk getting up) And unfortunately, Red Hulk here is the only one who's real. (Red Hulk growls while Spider-Man presses some buttons in his gloves) But I think I've got the solution for him.

(just as Red Hulk attempts to attack the four, Spider-Man shoots webs on his face)
 * Red Hulk: Think your webs can hurt me?!

(he tries to remove the webs from his face, but they suddenly expand around his body)
 * Spider-Man: Oh, not much. Just hold you back until you behave yourself. (to the others) A special formula I developed. Made of Adamantium and Vibranium particles. Courtesy of the king.
 * Captain America: Well thinking, soldier.
 * Spider-Man: Thanks. (Red Hulk begins igniting his body in flames) I wouldn't do that if I were you. (Red Hulk bursts in flames, causing the webs to absorb the heat, and inflate into a web ball) Moron. (lassoes Red Hulk with a large web cable) Care to do the honors, Hulk? (gives the cable to Hulk)
 * Hulk: (smiles deviously) My pleasure.

(Hulk pulls the cable, and swings the overheated web ball with Red Hulk inside it like a Olympic Hammer, and tosses Red Hulk out of orbit. Then, the web ball explodes)
 * Wolverine: Smooth. (the four are confronted by an angered Apocalypse) Now, it's your turn, punk.
 * Apocalypse: I have spent centuries of my existence planning to build the perfect world. A world where only mutants will thrive, even if it means the extinction of all other life forms. Especially you insignificant humans, who would destroy your own world just to achieve your loathsome desires! My universe or not, I will cleanse this world to its last atom, along with all who live and ever desired to live!

(end of the cutscene, cue to the "Road of Destruction" mission)

Cutscene 49: "Halfway We Go"
(following the "Road of Destruction" mission, the heroes stand victorious against a defeated and weakened Apocalypse, who attempts to escape, until Jean stops him)
 * Jean Grey: You're not going anywhere.
 * Apocalypse: And who are you to think you can stop me?!

(the four heroes step aside)
 * Spider-Man: You of all mutants should know.
 * Wolverine: If her version of your universe exists...
 * Captain America: ...then, what she could've done to you, our Jean will do it for her.

(Jean's eyes ignite a solar aura, as she unleashes the Phoenix Force)
 * Phoenix: Your presence poisons my universe. For that, you must be destroyed!

(the Phoenix proceeds to attack and decimate Apocalypse. Then, the Phoenix lands gently next to the heroes, reverting back to Jean)
 * Wolverine: Still nice knowing you got the Phoenix on our side, Jeannie.
 * Jean Grey: Like I told you before, Logan. I used to lose control when the Dark Phoenix was part of me. But the Dark Phoenix has been long gone. Now there's only the light side. Besides, this variant of the Apocalypse was weakened before he could reach his full potential. Which made him easier to be destroyed.

(sees something shining from Apocalypse's ashes, and inspects it. He discovers more fragments of the Surfer's board)
 * Spider-Man: And before those could restore him to life, or something...

(next scene, the heroes are still in the Harbinger's Hex, with the fragments being placed in the container)
 * Gloria Grant: What a coincidence. Just like you reached half of the Grand Prix, we've got half of the Surfer's board rebuilt.
 * Peter Parker: A great progress, indeed.
 * Kamala Khan: We've also got half of the Infinity Stones, which's also a great progress.

(then, they see their vehicles being taken to Happy Hogan's remote-controlled truck trailers)
 * Peter Parker: That also means we're moving to another briefing base. First, it was Happy's park. Then, the Hall of Kings. And then, the Harbinger's Hex. (to an approaching Grandmaster) So, where to now?
 * Grandmaster: Very much to that one special, private place where you young Terrans go to train in secret. The place where you once went to train in your early days as Spider-Man. And where (referring to Kamala) she trained when she first earned her powers, and became Ms. Marvel.
 * Peter Parker and Kamala Khan: Krakoa.
 * Grandmaster: And ms. Emma Frost just contacted us about it. She'll be your benefactor in the for this next phase of Grand Prix. And she's waiting for you this instant.
