Synopsis for 1st story
Victoria Hand is cursing in and around her car, venting that Steve Rogers placed her with the New Avengers, especially to put up with Luke Cage and Wolverine for the rest of her life. She then stops when the sky turns orange and demons descend on New York.
Meanwhile, Iron Fist has turned up in a dimension of complete whiteness. Two unseen entities are watching him, surprised that he did not dissolve into nothing as expected when the one of the entities brought him him, meaning that he has some sort of magical protection in this dimension. Iron Fist trying calling out but his pleas go unanswered.
Back on Earth, the New Avengers are facing the demons that have entered their dimension. Strangely, not even the magic-users can recognize their species. The New Avengers rush off to help the civilians, while the magic-users go to Doctor Voodoo's Sanctum Sanctorum to figure out what's causing this. Jessica Jones flies back to Avengers Mansion to take young Danielle to safety, only to meet the demons there. She tries fighting them off, but she's out of practice and is overwhelmed. Luckily, Hand comes in, priming a large energy bazooka, urging Jones to fly high, before she fries the demons.
Meanwhile, the magic-users arrive in the Sanctorum to search for a book that will help them find the dimension where Iron Fist is. Hellstrom takes not that it would take a very strong magic user to possess them like that. Voodoo admits that he's right, before lamenting how he failed in his duty as Sorcerer Supreme, how he failed his brother. Turning to Strange, Hellstorm ask who could've done this. Strange admits that he doesn't know.
Back in the unknown dimension, one of the entities recognize the symbol on Iron Fist's costume as that of the Molten Heart of the dragon Shou-Lao. That means that the sacred teachings Iron Fist was taught is protecting him. The entity tries bargaining with Iron Fist, as for some reason, he can't grab the Eye of Agamotto himself. Iron Fist refuses, stating that Strange will come for him. But saying that name has enraged the entity, who attacks him. Out of the white then comes the Ancient One, who reveals himself to be the mastermind behind this demonic attack.
