The Backstory

Everyone always said... I'll do it tomorrow.. I'll do it
later... well what happens if there may not be a tomorrow?
What happens if those people you said you'd see later, tomorrow,
next week.. suddenly were gone... dead... or.. something worse..
because that's exactly what happened.
No one really ever thought the war would come.. sure they have
been talking about it, President after President... and then one
day.. the missiles started flying.. fired from silos all over
the world.. at America... at Canada.. at Russia... from every
way and beyond... there was no sense to it all.. it simply
happened. Good guys.. bad guys.. people who hated each other
for decades were suddenly brought together in a time of self
preservation, perhaps the enemy of my enemy is my friend type
thought, but in truth that's how it happened.
The war made the fabric of reality.. or perhaps a better thought
would be, the fabric of the realities, very fragile... almost
egg shell like and that can be a very difficult line to navigate
to begin with.. but when it was all said and done... all the
bullets fired, bombs exploded, missiles shot off... there was a
body count.. a fairly steep price to pay for all involved..
losses were felt on all sides... and sometimes in the confusion
of loss and bereavement is when the most sinister things can
happen.
The Hellfire Club, well what remained of it after the war...
decided to try to take advantage of the situation... and thought
they could use the chaos, strife and confusion to their benefit.
Perhaps find a way to take over and rule from the White House..
and so in an act of harried thinking, Donald Pierce got hold of
Selene's spell book. Rule number one I might add, never let an
inexperienced spell caster use a spell book, the consequences
can have dire repercussions.
Donald Pierce thought he was smart, he found a spell that would
turn the undead into zombies and apparently he misread or
misinterpreted the spell because he expected the Hellfire Club
to be able to control and to command this new found army of the
newly risen. He thought it would give them the numbers and as
such also help improve his ranking within the hierarchy; he was
wrong.
He was right, the spell gave them the numbers they'd need with
the undead army, the problem was... they couldn't control or
command them. There was way to reason, bargain or barter either
with this new found army... and that was not the only problem.
They weren't playing favourites... the newly risen were
attacking anyone and everyone.. it did not matter if they were
friends, family or flat out enemies. Everyone was fair game.
That was just one of the new found problems with all of this.
The fact the spell seemed to have no off switch or cancellation
button was one problem... but the fact recently dead humans,
aliens, meta-humans and mutants and mutates were all rising as
well posed another problem. people with powers, abilities and
more were coming back from the dead and that made them not only
dangerous but lethal as well.
The other major problem with Donald Pierce casting this spell
was, due to his inexperience he was unaware of how delicate the
fabric of reality had become at that juncture in time.. and a
hole was torn between worlds... it was fast, instant.. and as
fast as it happened it was done.. the deal sealed. Worlds that
had never known of the other were suddenly combined.. People
who were never seen walking down the street, were now there.. as
if they always had been. People neither world recognized now
having to get used to each other in order to come to terms of
working together in order to survive and hopefully find a way
to end this insanity.
Now, the world is in abject chaos. Not only is there the every
day problems to deal with as well as Sentinels... but there is
also this rising and continually growing army of zombies to
contend with... even Doctor Strange has been consulted and has
as of yet been able to find a way to reverse or cancel the
spell... and is busy at work trying to find a way... we can only
hope someone finds soon because the more people die be it from
any cause, the more problematic things are going to get...
