Edward awoke, shocked, he looked around the room, realizing that he was right in the heart of the High Venom's domain. He had quite a few questions, but he knew better than to question one of the High. He listened intently to all that was said, then looked at Nightmare and nodded.

"I owe you all my life, I won't disappoint you," he promised, lowering his head in respect to the High Venom, one of the city's great leaders. "I'm sure you already know who I am, but just in case, my name is Edward Iwan, the toxins are from my old friend Nudd Richards, he's a serial killer, and he's here to kill as many people as he can, I'll do whatever you tell me, but he's very dangerous, and he needs to be stopped as soon as possible," he offered, attempting to ensure that Nudd became a target of the High.

He then realized that they were in a cavern under Epic City, he looked around, noticing all the freaks, some on the walls, some on the ground, all of them deformed at least slightly. He stared with an open mouth.

"...Wow, I never knew this existed, this is incredible! How many people live down here?"
