In the aftermath of war, there is always an eery sense of isolation. Even if you are among friends, comrades in arms, allies, you still feel alone in the world. You are left scarred, broken, and you want to be alone. You see your friends die, your friends abandon you.

I am getting ahead of myself.

Hello, my name is Kaos. And I am taking over this story. At least the beginning of this snipit.

The weak die, the strong prevail. It is a sad reality we live in. But I embrace it, more than most. More than anyone.

Blaze explained to you all that on our planet, Fria. Strength reigns. It's because we had one ruler back in the golden days, a man by the name of Lord Chane.

Chane was a benevolant leader. He was also my father. About ten years before Galactus rudely executed my planet, a war broke out. In the midst of the climax, Chane left his domain. He declared all who valued strength to stand before him. The war was between those who respect weaklings, and those who hate them. Chane hated this conflict. One of the supposed, "weaklings" stood forward. His name? Blaze. He fought against Chane and... Killed him. That mark he boasted I gave him? I gave it as revenge. He ain't the hero he makes himself out to be. He's changed and softened throughout the years as my hatred grew.

Everything happens for a reason they say. And guess what? Karma is gonna kick Blaze in the butt. And I will be there, laughing and pointing as the Avengers fall again. This time we wil take out Red Skull and Modok first.

Red Skull and Modok awoke in one of Hydra's many hidden bases. They got up and Red Skull yawned.

"How did you use that stone, Skull? Doesn't it require a vast amount of magic to use?" Modok asked.

"Indeed. But as Blaze so rudely spoiled, Red Skull is dead." Red Skull smiled and Modok aimed his laser at Red Skull.

Red Skull snapped his finger and he changed form to someone new entirely.

"Who are you?" Modok spat.

"You can call me... Doctor Strange." He bowed, before disappearing.

Hawkeye was asleep in his room, his hands behind his head as he nodded to his stereo. He heard giggling and a knock on his door which woke him. He grabbed his bow and aimed it at the door as he used his foot to push it open. No one was there.

He slowly stepped out, as he made his way down the hall slowly. He heard footsteps behind him and turned in time to see an all too farmiliar face.

"Kaos?" Hawkeye gasped. "What are you doing here, you freak?!"

"That's quite hurtful." Kaos sighed.

"Yeah? This will hurt too." Hawkeye fired his arrow, but Kaos caught it and snapped it in half.

Suddenly, Dark Aura surrounded and engulfed Hawkeye as he screamed, but the screams were smothered with the darkness. Kaos grinned wickedly.

"Now, the next person you see that you have a grudge on, you will attack without hesitation." Kaos smirked and disappeared as Hawkeye awoke in the hallway, alone.

"What happened?" Hawkeye mumbled. He stood up and walked down the hall, holding his head. He had a splitting headache.

He heard footsteps behind him and aimed his bow but he saw it was none other than... Black Widow.

"clint? Are you okay?" Widow asked.

"Natasha...?" Hawkeye muttered.

Hawkeyes eyes grew pitch black, as his anger started growing rapidy...

"I told you!" Modok pleaded, "i don't know where he went!"

Modok was backed into a corner. The entire Brigade had tracked him down.

"Where is Red Skull?" Loki asked.

"He wasn't Red Skull! He was using that as a disguise." Modok spoke. "The imbeciles name was Doctor Strange."

"Know anything about this guy?" Kaos asked.

"Doctor Strange?" Loki muttered. "Nada. Never hearda him."

"Okay. Kill Modok, he's no longer of use." Kaos turned to leave.

"Wait! No!" Modok screamed as Destroyer and Ultron obliterated him with a joint attack.

"Loki, do research on this Doctor Strange." Kaos ordered. "I have a revenge to see to. See how its going."

Kaos disappeared after that ominous farewell, as Ultron, Destroyer and Venom returned home and Loki sought out information on Doctor Strange.

Hawkeye raised his bow, as Widow arced a brow.

"What's up?" Widow asked.

"Everyone always compares us." Hawkeye growled. "You, the espionage spy, and me, the traitor! You are always hailed as a hero and i am always hailed a traitor and villain..."

"What are you talking about, Clint?" Widow asked, and tilted her head.

"We are no different! Yet I always am put down, and you are rose to a higher level!" Hawkeye scowled.

"You are crazy, lower that bow before you hurt someone." Widow approached Hawkeye.

"Don't tell me what to do!" Hawkeye exclaimed. "You are not judge and jury!"

Hawkeye suddenly let the arrow fly, as widow ducked under it, and when it made contact it exploded and Widow covered her face as smoke engulfed the two.

"Clint..." Widow looked saddened then turned serious. "I am sorry."

Widow dashed at Clint as she punched at him, he blocked with his bow. He kicked her away and strained another bow, this one making contact with her leg as it electrocuted her. She gasped and struggled to her feet, as she recovered. Widow aimed her widow's bite arm bracelets as she fired shots at Hawkeye, that electrocuted him. Hawkeye growled out and fired an arrow that exploded and sent Widow sliding back. He aimed a final arrow, and approached her.

"The spy fallen... What a disgrace." Hawkeye smirked. "And no one coming to your aid, some friends you got, Natasha."

"Clint... What are you doing this for? Aren't we friends?!" Widow pleaded.

"Friends... That's such a farfetch'd term. We were never friends." Hawkeye growled.

Hawkeye went to finish off Widow but the arrow waa blocked by a piece of earth that flew up like a rocket, knocking Clint off his feet. Clint reached for his bow which slid from his hand as a circle of fire shrrounded him. His bow was then picked up by Rocki, as Blaze walked up from the other side.

"Let me go!" Hawkeye commanded.

"Why did you attack Widow?" Rocki asked.

"She's a goody two shoes..." Hawkeye growled.

"Clint.. Look at me." Blaze ordered. Clint turned to him, and Blaze sighed. "Black dilated pupils with purple veins... Kaos got to him. Dark Aura."

"Is there a cure?" Widow grumbled as she stood.

"Yeah, if we knock him out, when he wakes he'll be good as new." Blaze replied.

"Allow me." Widow spoke, Blaze lowered the flames and Widow let loose a pink gas from her gauntlet as Hawkeye breathed it in, and collapsed unconscious.

Blaze threw Hawkeye over his shoulder and carried him to his bedroom, laying him down.

"He's gonna be okay." Blaze sighed and looked down at Hawkeye.

"Kaos went too far this time." Rocki walked up.

"You think? We almost lost Natasha. If we were a second later..." Blaze snarled.

Doctor Strange appeared in his meditation realm and the Time Gem floated from his grip and went into a storage unit.

"Three down. Mind, Space, and Time. All that remains is the Reality, Soul, and Power gems." Strange sighed. "And find the gauntlet. I must have it, so that it can not be used for evil."

"Sir, where is the others? Have any idea?" A butler under Strange's control walked up.

"The power gem is in Loki's scepter. I could've taken it by force, but I had to hold up this guise, as Red Skull." Strange spoke. "The reality and soul gems elude me."

"I will start research on them, sir." The butler bowed before leaving.

"Do that." Strange looked at the three gems on display. "All this power for good... If Kaos got ahold of these, the world would fall to its knees. Again. This time for good."
