Knives to Meet You is the forty-fifth episode of HeroStorm.
Plot[]
D.Va, Illidan, Tassadar, Tracer, and Genji have destroyed a Support Camp's Mercenary to get a healing Pulse. Tassadar grabs it as he congratulates his team. Noticed by him and Genji, Maiev appears before the five. She sends a shadow through a deflecting Genji and a wall, the shadow gets comfortable and it turns on a shadowy Abano. Illidan screams his catchphrase, "You are not prepared" and rallies to fight Maiev, who quickly gets the upper hand, trying a final slash, before he is trapped with handcuffs by Maiev, and Illidan is not able to escape.
The shadow soon gets an alarm and returns to Maiev, pushing Genji in her path and making fall. Meanwhile, Tracer shoots randomly and blinks everywhere, following her with the eyes. Maiev notices her disappearance. Tracer appears out of a thin line next to Maiev but the latter reacts quickly to attack her. D.Va uses her Boosters and Self-Destruction to send her MEKA right next to Maiev, but she simply jumps and avoids the whole damage of the explosion. D.Va, Genji, and Illidan watch this in complete surprise and they (with Tassadar) get handcuffed by Maiev, she prepares to use her fan of knives to kill them. They all scream in horror, except Tracer who just smiles. Next shot shows everything covered by knives and 4 of them dead, including Tracer (still smiling). However, Tassadar manages to get away with Dimensional Shift and returns with the Healing Pulse in hand and escapes. Maiev chases him but he uses a Force Wall, stopping her.
Epilogue
As a bundle of nerves and shaking like a leaf, Tassadar approaches to watch the place. Maiev blinks right in front of him using her shadow and scares Tassadar who quickly activates the Healing Pulse, uses his Plasma Shield, activates his Dimensional Shift and blocks Maiev with a Force Wall. As he reappears, however, he seems to have blocked himself too. Maiev watches in disappointment.
