Prologue: Clint Barton, aka Hawkeye, gets ambushed by a section of the Hand while patrolling and knocked off a roof. He enlists fellow SHIELD agent Rosalyn Diaz to help investigate why there are ninjas running ops in NYC. Episode 1: A mystical talisman from K'un Lun has been stolen by the Hand and concealed in plain sight amongst other treasures and rare artifacts on display for a charity function at Shaw Industries. Danny Rand, aka Iron Fist, has returned to NYC to retrieve the dangerous relic before the Hand can use it for unknown and nefarious purposes. But he is not the only one after the relic - Black Cat (Felicia Hardy) has been hired by an unknown employer to steal it as well. Before they can rock/paper/scissors who gets to take it home, a small contingent of the Hand arrives to stop them. While Iron Fist tussles with the Hand, Black Cat shakes off the two ninjas on her tail and escapes into the night with the mystical relic... much to Iron Fist's chagrin.

Episode 2: Danny Rand invited Felicia Hardy to dinner. Unbeknownst to her, the Hand has been tailing her to recover the stolen gem from K'un Lun and before the couple could even order, they attacked. Meanwhile, Clint Barton and Rosalyn Diaz - Agents of SHIELD - had been checking out intel about ninjas in the vicinity the night Shaw Industries was burgled. Both Danny and Felicia "escaped" the restaurant, only to return as their alter-egos: Iron Fist and Black Cat. Black Cat's newest acquaintance, DareDevil, was also drawn to the ruckus and joined in the fight. The general of this particular faction of the Hand - Nobu Yoshioka - appeared to the heroes and warned them that the "Tournament" draws near, but the "Elder Gods" have taken control over it in an attempt to win dominion over this dimension.

Episode 3: Iron Fist has tracked Black Cat and the dragon gem down - but so has Daredevil, SHIELD Agent Clint Barton, and the Hand. They all converge on her rooftop, where Iron Fist reveals the truth about himself, the dragon gem, and its purpose. Black Cat decides he can have it back, but before he can retrieve it, ninjas attack and Nobu Yoshioka makes an appearance, taking the gem for himself and warning heroes that now the forgotten 8th City of Heaven has been unlocked and will fight to take dominion over all realms. Transcript: marvelutopia.proboards.com/post/33026/threadEpisode 4: A glowing orb appears in Central Park, spewing armored ninjas and trolls as it grows and secures "gates" around the perimeter of the park. Some valiant NYC citizens (Dazzler, Stardust, Iron Fist, Black Cat, Daredevil, X-23 to name a few) try to fight their way to the orb and stop it before that can happen. Dr. Strange appears and teleports them out of Central Park and to his doorstep, where he tells them that the 8th City of Heaven has been unlocked and the ancient laws of the Elder Gods have been enacted, in the form of a tournament. To the victor goes the spoils - in this case, if the evil 8th City wins, it will rule over all dimensions, including Earth. But Dr. Strange sits on the Counsel and as Steward of the Realm, he commits to helping the heroes win the battle for their world. Transcript: marvelutopia.proboards.com/post/33027/thread

Episode 7: Black Cat relays The Thunderer's message to Iron Fist. The ragtag team of Earth's champions followed The Thunderer's map for a secret meeting, where he regaled them with the unknown tale of the 8th City of Heaven. Not all is what it seems in this tournament - perhaps "the bad guys" aren't the real bad guys after all. The Thunderer tasks the group to right the wrongs dealt long ago, to seek a true justice, to save all their realms -- or all will be destroyed.

Episode 8: Iron Fist and his crew attempt to reach K'un Lun, and run into Stardust on the way. They are waylaid by the appearance of The Exterminator and Chopstix, who have come to take out Earth's champions once and for all. Iron Fist defeats Chopstix while Stardust and Black Cat exterminate The Exterminator - permanently. But one question remains unanswered: Why have the combatants of the 8th City of Heaven turned assassin, attacking outside of Tournament boundaries and violating the sacred rules and thus jeopardizing their chance to claim victory over all? Transcript:marvelutopia.proboards.com/post/33082/threadEpisode 9: The United States government has finally kicked into action against this invasion of American soil. After devising a dimensional disruptor ray to close the portal and end the Tournament, SHIELD agents were dispatched to clear the area so the ray could be used. They tussle with various forces sent to stop them, but they persevere. The dimensional disruptor ray is fired and successfully closes the portal... for a moment. Then, in magnificent glory, the Living Tribunal appears, judging Earth for violating the Sacred Rules of the Tournament and sentencing it to total annihilation. But Dr. Strange arrives before the sentencing could be carried out, countering with the violations of the 8th City, who had sent assassins to kill Earth's champions outside of Tournament bounds. The Living Tribunal considers Dr. Strange's defense and postpones sentencing Earth due to this new evidence. Transcript:marvelutopia.proboards.com/post/33080/thread
