The streets of New York turned into a battlefield once again.
Drones swarmed like a metallic storm.
Energy blasts destroyed cars and buildings.
Civilians ran in panic.
But then—
Shadows rose.
Fredy stood in the center of the street.
"Arise."
Darkness spread outward like a wave.
Every fallen drone…
Every destroyed machine…
Cast a shadow.
And those shadows began to move.
Ten.
Twenty.
Fifty.
Eighty.
The shadow army expanded rapidly.
Spider-Man swung through the chaos.
"Okay!"
He webbed two drones together.
"This is starting to feel familiar!"
Above the city, Tony Stark blasted through enemies.
"Difference is…"
BOOM.
"This time they don't stop coming."
Fredy raised his hand again.
"Shadow Clone Technique."
Twenty clones appeared instantly.
Each one began forming Rasengan.
The battlefield turned into pure destruction.
But something was wrong.
Very wrong.
Fredy noticed it immediately.
The drones were adapting.
Learning.
Evolving.
Ultron was watching.
