A series of explosions tore through the prison. A figure wreathed in blue flames tore through the facility, leaving a path of destruction behind it. The Ghost Rider's maniacal laughter echoed off walls, and every prison guard who heard it felt their blood run cold. Gordon arrived at ...

Thor stared at the Valkyrie insignia on the woman's armor, and his expression shifted. By all rights, he should have attacked Mario immediately. Friend or not, this was a Valkyrie. The elite warriors who'd served his family for millennia. But he didn't move. The reason was simple: he couldn't beat Mario anymore.

On the road to Mount Doom, Frodo seemed to sense something. He suddenly looked up and noticed that Garrett appeared to be spacing out, lost in thought.
"I'm fine. Doing all right."
Garrett came back to his senses and replied lightly.

Frodo looked worried, and Sam...

"No one?"
Garrett stepped onto the scorched, blackened ground and walked a full circle, finding no sign of any living being. Perhaps they hadn't arrived yet. After some thought, he continued westward. According to the Rangers from Faramir's strike team, Frodo and the others had entered Mordor through a...

The smile on the refugee leader's face froze.
Viktor didn't look at the refugee who had spoken up and gave a simple explanation.
