Chapter One: Cut
Earth-616
New York City, a city full of heroes and villains. There is no dull day as this is a city full of people with abilities beyond mortal men. And today is a usual day for the hero team The Avengers.
"I'll kill you all!" Yes. The latest villain the Avengers are currently facing, the psychotic scientist The Wizard as he sends his allies such as the monstrous Bi-Beast, the rebuilt Klaw, and Whiplash, the latest Frightful Four. The villains went to the location where Ultron was "destroyed" and Wizard seems to be using the locations for a drill like device.
"Seriously, of all things a mastermind would say?" Spider-Man joked as he blinds both set of eyes of the Bi-Beast.
"Who cares! Let's smash them!" Hulk roars. He grapples the cyborg and uses his immense strength to rip the robot in half.
"I like you're plan big guy!" Wolverine smirks as the mutant uses his claws slice off Klaw's sonic cannon.
"Get your heads in the game!" Captain America orders as he uses his shield to block off Whiplash's attacks. "We need to take out Wizard and fast."
"I can do that." Iron Man quips as the flies above the chaos and like a missile the flies towards Wizard.
"You don't know how much power I can harness now, Stark!" Wizard said manically as he activates his machine. "I've found so much energy, I could harness and I will be unstoppable!"
It was then the ground shook as the machine began to glow white as the energy was "transferring" into Wizard's armor.
"Now you will die..." Wizard yelled with absolute fury before-
BOOM
Wizard was hit by the giant decapitated head of Bi-Beast, knocking him unconscious and turning the machine off.
"Shut up Wizard." Hulk says with annoyance as he had enough of Wizard's maniacal raving.
"I could've done that." Iron Man complains as he as walks to Wizard's device and starts analyzing it.
"What is it?" Captain America asks.
"Some kind of energy harvester." Tony starts with his answers as he shows the Avengers a holographic display "It seems to be tapping into some kind of cosmic energy. I swear I've seen this kind of energy before. JARVIS, analyze this signature to every data base we have."
"YES, SIR" JARVIS states.
Unknown to them, Klaw was regaining conscious and was aiming his damaged sonic cannon at Stark.
"ANALYSIS COMPLETE."JARVIS states.
"Okay, what is this...Oh my god." Iron Man says in shock.
"Okay, if Tony has that look, this is not good at all..." Spider-Man stops as his Spider-Sense warns him as he sees Klaw ready to fire "WATCH OUT!"
It was then Klaw fires and Spider-Man shoots a strand of webbing at Iron Man and pulls him away from the blast. In that instant the force causes the webbing to detach and land on the machine as Klaw's sonic attack hits it. And suddenly-
KABOOM
Earth-111712
"The hell is that?" Captain Asuka Langley Shikinami asks as she walks to the recently created crater to see what looks like a damaged robotic head.
Now operational, Ultron uses his optics to look up to see Asuka.
SUBJECT: UNKNOWN HUMAN FEMALE.
AGE: APPEARS FOURTEEN OR FIFTEEN YEARS OF AGE. ERROR-SUBJECT SEEMS TO HAVE AN UNKNOWN SUBSTANCE IN HER SYSTEM. CANNOT DETERMINE AGE.
SUPERHUMAN: UNKNOWN. BUT COMPLETLEY POSSIBLE, DUE TO THE SUBSTANCE WITHIN HER BLOODSTREAM. HOWEVER, SHE SEEMS TO EMMIT AN UNKNOWN ENERGY UNDER EYEPATCH.
STATE OF BEING: OBVIOUS SIGNS OF ANGER, ANNOYANCE, AND DISTASTE.
RESPONSE: APPEAR HARMLESS DUE TO LACK OF WEAPONRY, REPLICATE OLD PROGRAMMING.
"GREETINGS *ZZZT* MY NAME IS ULTRON. HOW CAN I BE OF SERVICE TODAY?" Ultron says in a more "human" voice as his eyes turn blue. Ultron was then picked up by Asuka as she analyzes the robotic head with suspicion.
"Hmmm...you don't seem to be something made by WILLE or NERV. What are you?" Asuka asks, narrowing her eye.
ASSESMENT: CANNOT HACK TO NEARBY DATABASE. HAVE NO KNOWLEGE OF "NERV" OR "WILLE". SHIELD MUST NOT EXIST IN THIS REALITY.
RESPONSE: TO QUOTE HUMANS, "ACT STUPID".
"I HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF "NERV" OR "WILLE". MY PURPOSE IS TO SERVE AND PROTECT. HOWEVER, I CANNOT DO MUCH DUE TO EXTERNAL DAMAGE." Ultron lies.
"Well I know machines can lie, but I guess you're just a dumb robot." Asuka tells Ultron.
ASSESTMENT: BEEN INSULTED. POSSIBLITY OF TERMINATING THIS GIRL HAS INCREASED TO 50%
Asuka then notices the sky becoming night as she realized she needs to make a fire for her and her "companions." She turns around to see the catatonic Shinji sitting along Rei sitting next to him.
"Hey brats..." Asuka calls out as she tosses Ultron's head in front of them. "We'll camp out here for tonight. Also, I found a new friend for you tow and just as useless."
ASSESTMENT: BEEN HUMILIATED. POSSIBLITY OF TERMINATING THIS GIRL HAS INCREASED TO 100% AND MIGHT HAVE PLEASURE IN IT.
After a few moments of silence while Asuka was collecting fire wood, Ultron was feeling his equivalent of boredom and decides to talk to his company.
"HELLO *ZZZT*. YOU TWO SEEM TO BE QUITE SILENT COMPARED TO YOUR COMPANION." Utron says, pretending to be as friendly as possible.
Rei remains quiet and even confused at the talking head. Shinji only wraps his arms around his legs as he remains in a fetal position.
SUBJECT #2: FEMALE. GENETIC MAKEUP SEEMS HUMAN AND POSSIBLY SUPERHUMAN.
AGE: APPEARS HUMAN. SIMILAR BODILY ADNORMALITIES WITH OTHER FEMALE.

"I can tell you are sad. *ZZZT* I may not know the causes of which, but I may be of assistance. What troubles you? Also, may I ask *ZZZT* your name?" Ultron asks, "politely".
It was then Ultron's "kindness' seems to be reaching to Shinji as he looks at robotic head and answers quietly. "Ummm, I'm Shinji."
"*ZZNT* SHINJI. JAPANESE OF ORIGIN. YOUR NAME COULD TRANSLATE TO "RULE OF TRUTH". MY NAME IS ULTRON. I MAY LIKE TO KNOW YOU." Ultron says.
"Uh sure, I would like to meet someone who isn't going to hate me." Shinji says, timidly.
"THEN WE CAN BOTH BENIFIT, I DON'T HAVE ANY CONCEPTS OF HATE." Ultron lies as it seems he'd gain Shinji's trust.
ASSESTMENT: BEFRIENDED "SHINJI". DECEPTION HAS BEEN SUSCESSFUL.
Earth-616
After the explosion, The Avengers seemed unharmed as they look to see Wizard's machine is gone and what looks like a white portal that has taken it's place.
"The hell was that, Stark?!" Wolverine demands. The rest of The Avengers were also looking to him for answers.
"The machine was harvesting the energies created from the reality cracks when we defeated Ultron. It seemed Klaw's sonic blast made it release enough energy to create perfect portal." Iron Man answers as he looks over his data.
"Uhhh, Hulk confused..." Hulk questions, "Where's Spider-Man?"
It was then the Avengers noticed Spider-Man is missing.
Earth-111712
As it turns out, that portal was also the same dimensional crack Ultron escaped to in his apparent destruction. And now walls between worlds are gone as a white portal opens in the ruins of Japan.
"WHOOOOOAAAAHHHH!" Spider-Man yells as he is shot out the portal. "Ugghhh, my head. Now I know how Venom feels about being bombarded by sonic..."
Spider-Man stopped with his joke as he looks to see he is in some kind of red desert and seems almost dead.
"I would make a Kansas joke, but I am too weirded out to even play that card." Spider-Man says as he looks around the new world he ended up in.
To be continued...
