All I ask is that my gala go as planned for just one year!
Emma Frost has hosted a Hellfire Gala at the Living Island of Krakoa inviting several guests including non-mutants to celebrate mutant culture on a high class party. Including Doom 2099, who accepted Emma Frost's invitation to attend the Hellfire Gala in Krakoa, seeking to obtain access to the island's Chronovium deposits for his own purposes. The Hellfire Gala is famed for its lavish and elegant fashion, with guests dressed in high-end suits, dresses, and even armor. As the gala began, many non-mutant guests including Captain America, Black Panther, Loki, Cloak and Dagger were present during the event. While the event continues, a villainous robotic being with a strong presence appears from one of Krakoa's Gateways. The Gateway emits a brilliant red light that flashes into the guests, revealing itself to be Ultron, looking for his would-be assassin Doom 2099, who used the power of Chronovium to try and erase the villain from history. However, Ultron had escaped the attempt by fleeing to the Sol Galaxy, before arriving at Krakoa, announcing that he will invade the island and claim it as his own dominion, declaring that the "Age of Ultron" has begun. He summoned his large army of drones attacking each of who were present during the event. The mutants and the non-mutants allied to clash against Ultron preventing him to conquer Krakoa. Now, Ultron's goal is to capture important locations around Krakoa and be reborn into a new body.
Conclusion of Events[]
There are two cinematic endings in both sides in-game for this map.
The first conclusion shows Wolverine leaping into Ultron who is heading to the Grove and attempts to capture the Cerebro. Ultron is then destroyed by Wolverine by slashing his head with his claws. Despite his defeat, he is reborn at the Abor Magna as a completely different form of himself.
The second conclusion shows Ultron attempting to capture the Grove's Cerebro but was stopped and destroyed by Magneto and Emma Frost. Unfortunately, his dismembered head includes metal wires that shoot out and connect to Cerebro, which immediately hacks into Cerebro and remakes him into a digital version with a new body.
