The main focus of the shot is a large monument in the center of Monument Park containing multiple figures in various action poses. Everyone notices the heroic face of Captain America, with his statue holding his shield aloft just as he was about to throw it. Behind him stands the likeness of the armored hero Iron Man, as well as the rugged, handsome looks of Thor. To the left of Captain America are Yellowjacket and the Wasp in each other arms, looking like it was carved off of one of the photos just after they were originally married.

Underneath the Fantastic Four logo, are engraved the names of Mr. Fantastic; the Invisible Woman; the Human Torch; the Thing; as well as Crystal. </p><p> </p><p>"This is Trish Tilby for Channel 6 News. This afternoon, President Hawthorne unveiled the new Onslaught Monument in Washington D.C.'s Monument Park, as a reminder of the true noble souls that gave their life in the never ending effort to protect the lives of people around the world, from the horrible monstrosity that called itself Onslaught, and the hundreds of millions that lost their lives afterwards in what we call now, The Onslaught Effect." The camera slowly moves away from the monument, towards the once familiar black-haired face of New York's most well-known newscaster. Dressed in a yellow business suit with a skirt, holding a microphone.</p><p> </p><p>"It has been two years since that fateful day that the superhuman Onslaught laid waste to Central Park, and in the final climatic battle with him, so many heroes gave their lives to protect the people of this city, this country, and this world.", Trish points back to a large monitor in the background. "Let's relieve the events of that day that has changed so many lives."</p><p> </p><p> </p><p><strong><span style="color: darkred">Scene:</span></strong> 2 <strong><span style="color: darkred">Location: </span></strong>Channel 6 Newsbroadcast: The Film Clip</p><p> </p><p>The scene opens up during the fight between the enraged Hulk and the overpowering Onslaught. Trish is off to the left of the camera, looking at the spectacle beyond. "This is Trish Tilby, reporting for Channel 6 news." A pause of a few seconds occur, as if she has forgotten what she is doing. Then she lowly says "Wow!", as Onslaught decks the Hulk. There is a few seconds of dialogue between Onslaught and the Hulk, as the camera is too far away to record it. Then the Hulk uppercuts Onslaught with all of his rage and power.</p><p> </p><p>There is a bright flash, as it takes the camera a few seconds to refocus. Around the Hulk, a few heroes stand, with a person pinned under the Hulk. Then the camera is brought to where the armor of Onslaught lies. It is shown cracked and broken, and a audible sigh of relief is heard from Trish, until the blue form made of pure energy rises out of the armor. </p><p> </p><p>"Oh, my God!", Trish states, as Thor dives upon the form with his mighty hammer leading the way. Thor seems to be knocked unconscious by the energy. The Human Torch and the Thing try to get to him, but are also rendered unconscious by the energy. Then the Avengers leap forward to save their friends, but the energy engulfs them and they fall. The next seen shows Iron Man holding Dr. Doom racing into the energy, with Hawkeye running into it. </p><p> </p><p>Dr. Richards seems to be talking with members of the renegade band of mutants, called the X-men. Then Dr. Richards and his wife run forward into the energy and are also overcome by its sheer power. Then, the camera focuses on the leader of the mutants, who calls himself Cyclops. As a ruby ray of destructive energy bursts from the golden visor that covers his eyes, the camera picks up him yelling, "X-men, Attack.". Then every member in their stylized costumed with an X prominently worked into the design, leaps to the offensive and targets the area where all the heroes lay in the bluish, sparkling energy field. The park bursts into different colors of lights and darkness as energy comes from the majority of the hands of these mutants.</p><p> </p><p>"No!", Trish yells, as she stares at the sight in disbelief, "They're killing them!". </p><p> </p><p>The area of blue energy and the bodies of so many heroes lay, explodes in a a fiery pattern of blue, yellows and reds. The earth revolts at the release of so much energy in one spot. The pure power of the explosion levels the park in at least 100 meters, bodies landing in so much as an ignominious lump. The camera records the supposed heroes, called the X-men, saving their own members from the destructive force of the blast.</p><p> </p><p>Trish stands partially within the camera's view, a look of horror and disbelief on her face. "I can't believe it. They didn't even try to save them. They let them die. All they cared about was saving their own." She slowly lowers her head at the camera, tears well up on her cheeks, making her mascara run. </p><p> </p><p>"Ladies and Gentlemen, What we've witnessed here today is a tragedy that will live on in our memories for all times. The death of so many that constantly risked their lives to make sure that this world would be safe enough to raise the next generation in, and the self-saving attitude of those who we once thought were heroes, called the X-men." </p><p> </p><p>All of a sudden, the ground beneath her starts to shake as an earthquake starts rattling the City of New York. In the background, seen through the static that now dominates the screen, one of the buildings in the cityscape slowly starts falling over spreading debris and destruction beneath it.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p><strong><span style="color: darkred">Scene:</span></strong> 3 <strong><span style="color: darkred">Location: </span></strong>Channel 6 Newsbroadcast: The Studio </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The monitor goes to black, as the camera re-focuses on Trish within the studio. "From what we saw in Central Park, we had no idea how it would affect the world. The people of Earth, watching across the globe, shocked by the death of so many heroes, would feel the power of this loss, as the largest earthquake in existence has started, focusing its destructive power around New York."</p><p> </p><p>The strange thing about this earthquake, is that earthquakes usually run along fault lines. There has never been a fault found within the New York area. So, this leaves the question, What caused the earthquake that stretched across the United States and the World itself. Some theorists hypothesized that the sheer power contained within the entity known as Onslaught, somehow caused these earthquakes and the strange blue radiation that arose from the cracks within the ground. This radiation caused mutation on a genetic level to people exposed to it. Other scientists have theorized that this was a secret weapon deployed by those cowardly X-men, to turn normal people into the monsters that they have become.", Trish slowly runs her fingers through her hair. "This occurrence which has been now called the Onslaught Effect for its randomness in causing the tremors and releasing the mutating radiation. Government scientists as well as the CDC and the newly formed Guard are currently working on the radiation trying to identify its origin as well as find a cure for its effects. The problem is that its affects were felt across the United States, with reports of exposure cases also in Europe and Asia. Surely this is a tragedy for the poor men and women changed by this radiation, but not as horrible as the fate of New York City.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p><strong><span style="color: darkred">Scene:</span></strong> 4 <span style="color: darkred">Loca</span><strong><span style="color: darkred">tion:</span> </strong>Channel 6 Newsbroadcast: Film Clip </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The monitor in the background comes on again, as the camera slowly maneuvers to catch the information that it is displaying. On the monitor it shows a picture of New York City's cityscape from a helicopter that is hovering by the Statue of Liberty. Then the picture fades to black and in white the words are written: August 4th, 1996, A day the world will never forget. Then the picture shows the ruins of New York City as it stands now. The picture slowly faces downward, where the side of the Statue of Liberty lays broken in pieces, with small portions of it barely above the water line. The remains of Ellis Island is broken in half physically with a good hundred feet of sea water between the two parts. </p><p> </p><p>The helicopter moves forward into the city, and the ruins become more apparent. People familiar with New York, will realize that Long Island is halfway underwater, with parts of skyscrapers sticking up, where they once reached proudly into the sky. Then the shot fades and reopens upon the Empire State Building. The Building has fallen down and has taken quite a few neighboring buildings with it. The true destruction of the city becomes apparent even to the most disinterested viewer.
