the dead shall rise

Misty Knight, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, Danny Rand, Matt Murdock, Marc Spector, and Mockingbird were en route to the Police department to meet the Lieutenant.

A mob of angry protestors had gathered on the streets. Many of them toted picket signs that read slogans such as: "NO NEW LANDFILL", "ROXXON KILLS!", and "SAVE THE PLANET, KILL ROXXON".

The crowd marched down the street and angrily shouted threats and obscenities at a convoy of four semi-trucks with tanker trailers. The tankers all bore the name "Roxxon" in bold, black stencil letters. Police outfitted in riot gear desperately struggled to keep the demonstrators out of the way of the massive trucks. Reporters, camermen, and sound crew swarmed everywhere.

One of the demonstrators began to gather attention. He was a bizarre elderly man with a shaved bald head, garber in tattered gray robes. His picket sign read: "REPENT YOUR SINS" in scarlet red. The crazed old man could be heard screaming, "Repent your sins!! The end is near, the dead shall rise!!! You shall see that now is the time to seek redemption for armageddon is nigh!!"

Ranting and raving, the crazed old man darted between police officers and out into the path of the lead truck in the caravan. The on-edge driver overreacted and swerved to avoid crushing the demonstrator but lost control and caused his truck to jacknife on the road.

There was the sound of screeching metal followed by a noxious yellow cloud spraying into the air from a rift rent into the side of the wrecked and capsized truck. As the oily chemicals and fumes leaked across the pavement of the street the mob in attendance was thrown into a panic.
