A/N: Please note, this is a crossover series that will mainly star villainous protagonists. It will be slightly OOC for the slash/het shipping that I have planned, but also will be multiversial. However, I intend on making a Masters of Evil from Marvel the main group. Also, I've been busy with life so I never really published much on the side, which I apologize for it… For now, lets get this show on the road!

Chapter 1: A Prelude to Power

It had been one of those days for Baron Zemo. It hadn't gone too well as he was defeated again by his very own nemesis, Captain America and his Avengers.

The building was collapsing from a bomb detonation and his Adhesive X chemicals had been destroyed yet again by Hawkeye, Iron Man, and Thor, while Zemo took on the Captain by himself, having an even match, trying to get the edge on him.

"No! I was too close to having conquered the earth! Must you ruin EVERYTHING?!" Zemo made a howl of anger, raising his sword as the american defender blocked the swing of his sword with his adamantium shield.

"Give it up Zemo! It's over, and you're out numbered!" The Spangled Starred hero told him as the reddish-purple hooded man merely narrowed his eyes and tripped the hero to the ground.

"You may have won this time Captain America. But remember this, the next time we meet, I plan to end your pitiful existence along with the Avengers!" Helmut told the First Avenger as he pointed his sword at him before backing off, and left the crumbling base.

The Baron was mentally scowling at the loss of his base, but managed to escape the Avenger's grip before they could detain him by boat, leaving with a handful of soldiers, and Arnim Zola to come along.

He had soon hid himself in the outskirts Somalia, a unfitting place to be sure, but with proper persuasion, he had managed to infiltrate the borders and began to establish new headquarters which took weeks to do.

However, Zemo wasnt satisfied. He had thought of ways to take down each member of the Avengers, but they would only work more together as seen with his failed attempt to cause a Civil War between the Captain and Iron man.

Inside the new lab inside the outskirts of Somalia, he was doing tons of research of otherworldly objects as he found information about a certain Green stone, remembering a yellow stone that was on the android, Vision.

"Hmmm, interesting… Very, very interesting…" Zemo muttered to himself as he was doing his research, intensely reading up on the stones. However, a portal was made right behind him as he had turned around and narrowed his eyes, knowing the portal was that of a Asgardian.

When the person came out of it, she was a familiar sight, and he narrowed his eyes at the witch.

"Enchantress, why are you here? Aren't you out to help your so called Leader?" Zemo told her with much hatred as he knew that she was working under Loki, and crossed his arms in a very agitated tone.

"Zemo, Zemo, Zemo. I came here on my free will. Loki is currently imprisoned, and Surt was dealt with by Thor. You're perfectly the most competent man I've met. That's why I came to make a simple deal." Amora told him as the Asgardian had tossed him a map.

The Baron rose an eyebrow as he took the map and began to look at it, making him raise it even more in suspicion.

"Why are you giving me this map?" Helmut asked in a rather suspicious tone, not liking this at all.

"Because, if I am to prove my loyalty, why not give you the map to find the Soul Stone or as you know it, the Green Infinity stone." Amora told him her reason as he sensed no lies from her, and she leaned on a wall as she was smirking, causing him to be surprised at this.

"So it's called the Soul Stone. I'm sure it'll be quite difficult to get my hands on it. If I read correctly, I won't be able to touch it with my bare hands, and will need something to seal it's power into…" Zemo admitted as he crossed his arms, before she shrugged.

"You're observant. The stone wont accept anyone weaker than me. However, I am able to use the stone to put it in something you can wield. However, in return, you will help me kill Thor." Amora told him as she was being quite seductive, but he wasn't phased by it, but nodded his head.

"Very well. I will accept that. But you will be my ally as well, wiping out the Avengers is what we have in common, I'd presume that is." Zemo made his comment as Amora smirked at his intellect.

"Indeed that much we do. However, aside from the nine realms, there's something much bigger than this earth, and Asgard. A Multiverse's worth to conquer. If you help me, I will help you conquer all of them." Amora told him in a very sincere tone as Zemo crossed his arms, unsure if she was serious or not.

"Show me." Zemo told her as she smirked at that comment alone.

"You'll see. In the Infinity Stone." Amora simply told him as he merely smirked at that.

"Very well. We shall head out." Zemo told her as he was now heading to find where the Soul Stone would be.

...

At Hydra Island's laboratory, Baron Von Strucker was pacing around, growing more and more infuriated at the failures of his comrades, having been forced to lead Hydra himself.

"Blast Zemo and his cowardice! Curse Skull and his lechery! And Curse that wench Viper for her defection! All of them will pay!" He cursed the three to himself as he was pretty much in the worst of moods.

He worked on researching and recovering his losses as Baron Zemo, Madame Hydra and Red Skull betrayed him to different factions.

"Damn it. Hydra seems to have fallen to disarray! No matter, the traitors made their choice when they betrayed me, Baron Wolfgang Von Strucker!" The leader of Hydra had now told himself as he had Klaw, Gravitron and the Grim Reaper as his allies, pacing around as he had plotted and calculated on what was going on.

It left him to himself and a island's worth of troops. It made him lament a bit, but he had too many enemies.

"I need more allies if I am to conquer the earth in Hydra's name, and take down the traitorous pigs." Strucker vowed to himself, but a voice could be heard as a portal appeared right behind him.

"Maybe I could be of use?" A male voice asked as he had smirked and leaned on the wall as he had a orange stone on his hand, not being affected due to his powerful sorcery.

"You! Who dares intrude to Hydra Island!?" Strucker told him in a demanding tone, glaring at the pale sorcerer, crossing his arms with a smug smile.

"It seems that you'd rather face your foes alone then. No matter, I'll be offering my services to Red Skull, or even Madame Hydra. Perhaps that Purple-Red masked Baron would suffice?" The Sorcerer told him confidently as Strucker scowled, before stopping the tattooed man.

"Wait. I am in need of your services." Strucker told him in a slightly nervous tone, causing the man to smirk confidently.

"I'd be glad to assist. I'm Quan Chi by the way, and I am not of your world. In fact, why conquer one world, when you can have all of this?" The man known as Quan Chi told him as he soon used his magic as he showed Strucker visions of all the potential worlds that he could take over.

"This…. This is wonderful…. How may I be able to travel?" Strucker told the pale skinned sorcerer as he was downright surprised from this.

"Means of travel is simple, Baron Strucker. This stone is a Infinity Stone. However, this stone isnt ordinary. In fact, it has the ability to stop time." Quan Chi explained as the stone was beginning to glow, making the Baron ever more curious.

"I see…. The stone is a means to travel?" Wolfgang asked in a rather curious manner, making Quan Chi smile.

"It could be, or I can teach you means of using Darkness." Quan Chi told him as he had used part of his power to create a portal.

"The power of darkness, huh… Interesting… Very well, lead the way. Grim Reaper, you're in charge of the base until I get back." Baron Strucker told his ally through the headset as a mere grunt was heard before Quan Chi and himself were leaving the base on Hydra Island to a whole new world.

...

Meanwhile, within the confines of his prison, Loki merely watched as he had managed to pull a smile from all of this, knowing that Amora was doing an excellent job as she got Zemo to ally with her.

"Good, when that fool finds the stone and collects the souls needed from it, I will steal the stone and make sure that I gain the powers fit to ruling all worlds…. Excellent indeed. Now, to plan my very escape." Loki told himself as he smirked, looking at the portal, watching over Zemo and Amora, knowing that this was a game of patience.

May the best member win.

A/N: Welp this is a start of the Hydra-Centric Crossover, but dont worry it will include other heroes and villains that you may know and love. In fact, It may take me a bit to find ways to make the fic work. All I know is that Red Skull, Madame Hydra/Viper, Baron Wolfgang Strucker, and Baron Zemo himself are in a civil war, trying to see who's fit to rule Hydra. I hope that this chapter is quite the enjoyable read!
