Lore[]
Oh, really? Vampires? Because muggers weren’t enough.
After the events at the Sanctum Sanctorum, the pages of the Darkhold were scattered during the ongoing invasion of New York by Count Dracula and his vampiric army. Meanwhile, the city has been heavily swarmed by vampires, and the citizens have been severely impacted, becoming vampires themselves. Several heroes, including Iron Man, Mister Fantastic, Doctor Strange, Scarlet Witch and Moon Knight, met at the Baxter Building to devise a plan to stop the vampires. They intend to deploy the Montesi Formula, an incantation from the Darkhold capable of eliminating vampires. This causes an argument amongst heroes, with Iron Man and Moon Knight (along with Khonshu) intending to use the Montesi Formula to completely exterminate all remaining vampires. While Mister Fantastic, Scarlet Witch and Doctor Strange disagree with their method, as there is a potential that those who have transformed into vampires will be saved.
With their meeting ends, Tony launches his Stark Sentinel to locate the lost pages, but is ambushed by a swarm of vampire bats and crashes into Grand Central Terminal. While Reed's plan is to use H.E.R.B.I.E. and the Fantasticar to locate and collect all of the Darkhold's pages so that they can use them in their own way before their opponents do. H.E.R.B.I.E. must travel to the Avengers Tower to upload the data, which reveals the dispersed pages.
Conclusion of Events[]
If the Attackers win in-game, H.E.R.B.I.E has enable to reach the Avengers Tower and has successfully implant the data, restoring the Avengers Tower's logo to its original position and revealing all of the Darkhold's pages with the assistance of Doctor Strange and Scarlet Witch's magic.
If the Defenders win in-game, Moon Knight successfully stops H.E.R.B.I.E. and destroys the Fantasticar, thereby preventing their attempt to locate the lost pages.
