Vol 2 Issue 14: Fate of the Unified World (Part 1)-Taking Back the Planet
Midtown, New Vale City
BGM-The Avengers (2012) OST-Assemble
The Unified World is dying. A majority of the planet's mightiest have fallen. Humanity is on its last legs, powerless against the immense power Thanos wields. In about 30 minutes, the titan will destroy everything, wipe the merged planet off the face of the cosmos forever. Is the light of hope truly gone?
Not entirely. The remaining heroes make their final stand right in the heart of Manhattan that is Midtown. Daredevil, Punisher, Namor, Moon Knight, Cyclops, Black Bolt and Sharon Carter among others kill as many aliens as they possibly could, doing whatever they can to stop them from destroying their home. The Chaotix, Mighty, Ray, and even Chaos leads an army of military agents to confront the alien menace. The huntsmen of Beacon Academy also join the fray on the streets. Professors like Glynda Goodwitch, Peter Port, and Bartholomew Oobleck do what they do best, kick major butt while instructing students like Team CFVY and Team CRDL to hold the line.
"Damn these alien devils! They just keep on coming!" The GUN Commander pilots his military's ultimate weapon, a large red mecha called Diablon to destroy as many alien scum as he could, but no matter how many he destroys more just keep on coming.
"Fury, the streets are getting overwhelmed! We need additional Paladins and Big Foots, stat!" General Ironwood requested, piloting his military's ultimate weapon to kill more aliens: A large black-and-silver humanoid-looking mech codename "Andromeda", the same battle mech he piloted during the Symbiote Invasion months ago but was destroyed by Salem in the ensuring battle.
'Working on it! Keep tight!' Fury replied.

BGM-Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds OST-Deadpool's Theme
Somewhere else in this warn-torn city, a group of aliens were running towards a particular red-and-black jumpsuit foe with swords, believing he is easy and sane enough to kill. That is completely not the case as this crazed merc-with-a-mouth is not so easy and is the exact opposite of sane.
"BANG BANG BANG BANG!" The mercenary shot down the dimwitted aliens with his guns, then proceeds to 'speak' to the fourth wall. "Yello, Fanfiction. Net! Wasn't expecting me, the awesome and lovable merc-with-a-mouth, Deadpool to make a cameo, huh? I wasn't expecting it either, but the Author was kind enough to put me in this once! How lucky am I? I didn't even have to threaten him with bad movies like The Last Airbender or that one movie where I wasn't so cool and couldn't talk! That was a mistake! People LOVE my voice! Now sit back, readers! Watch as the Amazing Deadpool about to teleport in to kick Thanos's purple, butt-cheek ass straight to the-," Completely out of nowhere, one of those space Levitations gobbles up the talkative mercenary during the middle of his babbling, "Oh, it stinks in here. I need to buy this guy some mouthwash."

BGM-The Avengers (2012) OST-Assemble
Back to the seriousness that is the end of the world, it seems that nothing the heroes do are making a slight difference. The massive air battle between the alien ships and the military's is quickly becoming one-sided in the aliens' favor. The heroes on the ground are losing ground against the alien onslaught. Groups of military soliders are either blown to smithereens or eaten by the Levitations. It truly is a dark day for New Vale City as it looks like it's about to reach its end.
"All remaining units, keep firing! This is our city! We won't let them take it!" Captain Yuri Watanabe and her NVPD officers stand and fire from behind a blockade of cars at a relentless group of aliens that don't know when to quit. A few of her officers get taken down while she gets hit by a laser gun from a Chitauri solider.
"Captain!" One of her officers shouts to her concern.
"Keep shooting…We can't give up…He wouldn't give up…" Yuri weakly refers to her partner, Spider-Man. Despite finding him annoying, she has high respects for the web-slinger, and in his name, she won't dare to give up against these invaders.
She managed to stand back up despite her injury to continue the fight, killing the Chitauri that shot her. Ravage Outriders were gunned down by the police force only to be replaced by the Metarex and more Chitauri. Together, the aliens broke through their barricade and have Yuri and the others at gunpoint. Yuri sweats, thinking this might be the end of her and her city as she stares at the gun pointed straight at her face.
One of the Chitauri speak in its native language that can't be understood by humans, but from what Yuri could tell, they are just about ready to kill her and her men. Yuri closes her eyes, waiting for her end. But at the last second, at the very last second, a web of miracle shows up.
"Captain! Look!" A still-alive officer tells his captain.
Yuri slowly opens her eyes, surprised that she's not only still alive, but the aliens that were going to kill her are found tangled up in a giant web net in the sky that has the words "MISS ME?" written in webbing in the middle of it.
Yuri smiles while staring at the message in webbing, know relived her friend is still alive and joking, "Always at the last second."
"C'mon, everyone! Put your backs into it!" Vector ordered his friends to continue fighting against the swarm of aliens surrounding them. Out of nowhere, a massive blue wind circles around the Chaotix, which forces them to cover their eyes from its intensity.
"The weather has gone bad!" Charmy said, covering his eyes.
"No. This isn't the weather." Espio replied. Once the wind has disappeared, the Chaotix were shocked to see the aliens that surrounded them were completely wiped out by that blue tornado.
"That was fast! Who did that?" Ray asked.
Mighty smirks, instantly figuring out the identity of their mystery helper, "He always loves making an entrance."
Velvet Scarlatina of Team CFVY wields a light copy version of Crescent Rose as she cuts down several alien troops in rapid succession. The rabbit faunus pants for a moment to catch her breath, met up with her leader, Coco Adel.
"Velvet, you alright?" Coco asked her.
"I'm fine." Velvet nodded, but then gasps when she spots Professor Goodwitch about to be ambushed by an Outrider while she's too distracted pushing back hordes of aliens with her telekinetic Semblance. "PROFESSOR GOODWITCH, LOOK OUT!" She shouts to her professor.
"Huh?" As Glynda turns around and would've taken a nasty maw from the Outrider if a sniper shot didn't kill it from a distance. "A sniper? Who could that be?" She asked.
"Someone who knows how to hold a gun from a great distance." Coco replied.
Velvet takes a look at her light copy Crescent Rose and quickly figures out who saved Glynda from the ambush and smiles, "I knew it. You guys are still alive."
More and more unexpected help just keeps on popping up around the city. Lightning strikes that kills dozens of aliens from a weather mutant. An arrow from a dark angel pierces a Chitauri head. A futuristic blue buster charging up to kill the Metarex mavericks. Reports of transforming dragon girls assisting the aerial fleet.
A leviathan chases one of the dragons, only for the dragon to leave as the flying beast is being directed towards Ironwood and Tower's mechs. "That's gonna be a hard one to smash." Tower said as he and Ironwood point their weapons at the space beast rapidly coming towards them but it wasn't needed. Out of the sky, Hulk suddenly appears in front of the generals, and with one massive punch that makes him roar, smashes the leviathan's face and shattering its armor plating.
"Hulk?!" Ironwood remarked, surprised to see the Hulk still alive and angry.
The Leviathan isn't dead yet though. It would've toppled over the three if a billionaire, armored superhero didn't fly in to save the day. "Hold on!" Iron Man fires a wrist-mounted missile at the Leviathan's open weakspot, causing the thing to blow up into big pieces.
The explosion of the Leviathan did a good job getting everyone's attention, heroes and villains alike, just for this one, unforgettable moment. Iron Man and Hulk stand next to each other as Shadow the Hedgehog has just teleported both the entire Unified Army and the Masters of Evil with a red ISO Emerald using Chaos Control into the middle of the battlefield.
"HELLOOOOO, NEW VALE! I'VE MISSED THIS PLACE!" Spider-Man shouted to all of New Vale City to announce the return of the Unified Army.
"RRRAAAAAAGH!" The Chitauri and all the aliens across the city roar angrily to see the heroes are still alive.
"GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" Hulk alone let out an even bigger roar while the Unified Army and the Masters of Evil pose to signify they are back and ready to save their unified world once and for all, which is more than enough to put back hope in the people as civilians around the globe watching the battle at New Vale cheer so hard even Thanos from his ship could hear them.
BGM End
Sanctuary II, Earth's Orbit
You can bet a million dollars, lien, and rings that the Black Order were absolutely shocked when they saw the broadcast of the heroes' sudden return after seemingly killing by their master's hand.
"Impossible!" Dark Oak remarked. Though he doesn't have a face, it is easy to tell the Metarex leader was caught off-guard by the heroes' survival.
"That can't be! The earthling heroes are still alive?!" Corvus shouted, furious.
"The humans really are a stubborn race!" Supergiant said, as she too is displeased they're still alive.
"But how?!" Proxima asked.
"Warlock."
The Black Order turn to their master standing behind them. Deep in his heart, Thanos had a feeling the heroes were still alive because of Adam Warlock and his Soul Stone. And though he now wields infinite power, that doesn't make it any less irritating to see his enemies are still alive judging from Thanos's scowling face.
Midtown, New Vale City
Sonic steps up and stands in front of Spider-Man, Captain America, and Ruby, as the four of them stand in front of the bigger and badder Unified Army, now with the addition of the Masters of Evil and their army, to give a little speech to Thanos.
"Yo! THANOS! You messed with the Avengers! You messed with our planet! And I bet you felt so clever, thinking you could destroy it while we were gone! But guess what? That ain't happening! This planet is jammed pack with heroes from three worlds and beyond, all very stubborn to give up! And now we're ALL here together, ready to kick your ugly purple butt!"
"I don't think he's listening." Spidey slyly said to his blue buddy.
"What a jerk. Cap, would you do the honors?" Sonic grinned his hand to Cap for the signal.
"Avengers…ASSEMBLE!" Captain America yelled to his united army.
BGM-Sonic Forces OST-Fist Bump
If this next part was from a comic book, where the ENTIRE Unified Army begin their massive counterattack against Thanos's army, it would most definitely encompass two whole pages with no dialogue, just sheer awesomeness to see all these heroes and villains working together to save their worlds. You got the Avengers working alongside the Freedom Fighters. X-Men standing strong fighting with their faunus cousins. Guardians of the Galaxy shooting everything in sight with their new Maverick Hunter buddies, it's beautiful.
"Take them down, Web Warriors! Web them up!" Spider-Man says while fighting alongside Scarlet Spider, Spider-Woman, and Neo Mecha Spider-Man.
"We are NOT calling ourselves that!" Jessica replied.
"And that is a terrible catchphrase!" Kaine retorted.
Above the skies, Thor, Storm, Phosphora, and Electro combine their lightning to obliterate a huge chunk of enemy forces, both from the air and on the ground. During this, Sonic and Ruby are having high-speed antics together against their enemies before combining their powers. "Time for the two of us to team up!" Sonic smiled at his speedy partner.
"It doesn't matter what's in our way! We'll blow past everything they throw at us!" Ruby return a smile.
The speedsters share a high-five with each other, performing a mid-air spin jump as they shout "DOUBLE BOOST", dashing away side by side, each one performing a red rose-filled blue boost that greatly amplifies their combined speed, strong enough to barrel through dozens of aliens without even thinking about slowing down.
"Yeah! That's how it's done! We've got unstoppable speed and timing! Keep it up, Rubes!" Sonic smiled as they continue their double boost.
"YAAAAAGH! COME AND GET SOME, SPACE DOOOOGS!" Rocket works together with Yang and Winter Solider as he fires his Ion Blaster at the ravage Outriders. A few of them dash towards the three which Bucky quickly took notice. He grabs Rocket and circles with him, continuing firing their guns and while Rocket continues shouting, "C'MON! GET SOME! GET SOME! GET SOME! C'MON, GET SOME!", all while Yang keeps punching every alien that crossed her path until the area was clear for a moment and Bucky let Rocket down.
"How much for those weapons?" Rocket asked Bucky and Yang.
"Not for sale!" They replied simultaneously.
"Okay, how much for the arms?" Rocket asked for their cybernetic arms, getting an annoyed look from the two before they walked away from him. "Oh, I'll get those arms." He muttered before returning to battle.
Nearby on the streets, X fires a reflecting laser at Captain America's shield to cut down the opposition, but if it wasn't enough, Chrom and Sally kindly finished the job before continuing to fight alongside these leaders. Doc Ock and Drax grabs a few Metarex and throws them at Wolverine, X-23, and Blake to viciously slices up before space step-sisters, Gamora and Nebula, glyph sisters, Weiss and Winter, and tribe twins, Raven and Qrow, leaped above them to kill their own group of enemies. Viridi raises her staff high behind Groot, enhancing the alien tree's power so he could easily overwhelm foes with trees and large spikes. Future warriors, Silver, Cable, and Lucina stand together against more aliens approaching. Silver pulls in their foes with his psychokinesis for Cable to shoot down and Lucina to cut open. Magic users, Dr. Strange, Dr. Doom, Salem, Robin, Baron Mordo, Ozpin and Enchantress combine their strength to cripple several powerful squadrons of invaders to clear the space.
Tails is inside the Web Cyclone in its Hulkbuster Mode and demolishes everything in his path with repulsors and rockets. Iron Man transforms into makeshift jet mode with his nanotech suit, tackling his enemies from the ground to the air and then meets up with War Machine, Tiki, Star-Lord, and Bunnie as they work together shooting down fliers. Blaze, Phoenix, Super-Skrull, and Human Torch burn their flying foes with all types of crazy fire blasts. Thor pierces through a warship and a Levitation with his hammer, leaving Palutena to cover the sky with a Heavenly Light to knock out more mortal aliens, all to make them easy picking for the Pits, Axl, Neo Metal Sonic, and Vulture.
Sonic grins as he rides with the Silver Surfer on his cosmic surfboard through the aerial battlezone, passing by Adam Warlock, Grimadoom and Nova destroying more ships, Yellowjacket growing giant to punch a Levitation, Hulk, Red Hulk, She Hulk, Thing and Knuckles knocking over a giant Metarex with a combined punch. The hedgehog decided to jump off Surfer's board high into the sky and confronts a Levitation about to swallow him. Sonic continues grinning and takes out a Laser Wisp capsule from his quills, absorbing its power to pierce through and destroy the Levitation from its mouth.
On the ground, Team RWBY and Team JNPR utilize various Wisps to enhance their attacks and annihilate all those that get in their way. A burst of wind flies past the huntsmen, revealing to be Spider-Man flying about in his Air Elemental Mode, cutting through his foes with wind-based web shots and wrist blades while twirling his spider-legs. His Spider-Sense warns him of debris about to fall on him, but thankfully Sonic and Ruby shows up to saving him by destroy the debris. Peter gives his best pals a smiling thumbs up as he swings by their side, with all three young heroes pushing forward to free their city from Thanos's grasp.

Sanctuary II, Earth's Orbit
"Our forces are dwindling! This can't be happening!" Ebony Maw comments on the battle at New Vale which is slowly being won by the heroes.
"Let's head back and teach those miserable fools a lesson!" Corvus recommended.
Before the Black Order could get the word of action from their master, something hits their ship that causes it to shake and made them almost tumble over. "What hit us?" Thanos asked who was foolish enough to attack his ship.
Outside the Sanctuary II
BGM-Shadow the Hedgehog OST- E.G.G.M.A.N. (Doc. Robeatnix Mix)
Things are about to get loud in space. The counterattack against Thanos has only begun. His flagship and his space armada has been found out by none other than the Egg Fleet and the Agents of S.W.O.R.D. Eggman's own massive space armada fires everything they have against Thanos's and manages to destroy a few. And it gets better. At the center of the Egg Fleet is a rebuilt Death Egg, piloted by the mad doctor of eggs himself, accompanied by Abigail Brand, director of S.W.O.R.D., and The Watcher, floating silently beside as he watches Eggman and Brand do their thing.
"Never again will you underestimate me and my genius, Thanos! All systems, full power! CHARGE!" Eggman shouted.
"GIVE 'EM HELL!" Brand yelled, ordering the Death Egg and their fleet to launch everything they got at Thanos's fleet.
Back inside the Sanctuary II
"It's more of those S.W.O.R.D. agents. And what ugly ship is that? Some mechanized Ego the Living Planet?" Ebony Maw asked, watching their fleet battling against the Death Egg.
"It doesn't matter what it is. Blow it out of orbit along with its fleet," Thanos ordered, "I don't know what game the earthlings are playing, but it will end in their failure."
"As you wish, Lord Thanos! All ships, focus fire on that fleet!" Maw ordered their fleet.

Back in New Vale City
'Nice to see you guys still kicking, Stark. Do you have a plan how to prevent armageddon?' Fury contacted Iron Man in the middle of him blasting ships out of the sky.
"I'm pretty sure we achieved armageddon a few hours ago," Stark quipped, "Just sit still, Fury. We know what we're doing." And as soon as he said that, he gets a call from Eggman. "Eggman, did you get Thanos's attention?"
'Yes, now hurry! I don't know how long my fleet will hold him off!' Eggman replied, telling him the distraction work and most of Thanos's fleet is focused on the Death Egg.
"Everyone! Huddle up next to Shadow!" Iron Man ordered the team that'll infiltrate Sanctuary II.
The D-Avengers, Blaze the Cat, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, Captain Marvel, Nova, X, Super-Skrull, Phoenix, Wolverine, Scarlet Witch, Adam Warlock, Doctor Strange, Hawkeye, Drax, Star-Lord, Gamora, Nebula, Grimadoom, Cinder, and Neo Metal Sonic all meet up with Shadow so he could use Chaos Control to send them in.
"Sure you don't want me to take us in?" Grimadoom teased his 'brother'.
"Your technique is sloppy. Mine's more refined." Shadow mocked.
"Don't be jealous." Grim joked.
"Let's go, Shadow!" Captain Marvel said to get a move on.
Shadow holds out his red ISO Emerald and begins to teleport with the group. "Chaos Control!" He said, teleporting everyone to Thanos's flagship in space.
Inside Sanctuary II
BGM-Sonic Forces OST-Nothing Can Contain Us!
Captain Marvel's team have successively infiltrated Sanctuary II via Chaos Control. And just as predicted, most of Thanos's forces are focused attacking New Vale and the Egg Fleet as they never predicted a group of heroes teleporting inside the massive death ship.
"This is the place. Still hate this ship." Nebula recognized the ship she and Gamora hated since childhood.
"Never liked coming back here." Gamora said, holding her Godslayer on her shoulder.
"Why not? This ship seems to have everything. Death troopers. Laser cannons. Bombs and power cells that can destroy a fleet." Spider-Man quipped.
"First we'll blow up this ship and take out the aliens, then we go deal with Thanos." Ruby said with a determined, fearless face, holding her Crescent Rose ready for the biggest fight of her life.
"From now on, we're gonna keep pushing forward! No stopping for anything," Sonic cracks his fists together as the heroes spot a big squadron of elite alien troops coming to attack the intruders, "We're not leaving until we take back our planet!" He declared as they all take a battle pose, planning to make the aliens regret invading their fused home.
BGM End
The Bridge of Sanctuary II
It just keeps on getting worse and worse for Thanos. His ship's shields are doing a fantastic job protecting itself from the Egg Fleet and their barrage of laser fire. What he didn't expect was a massive explosion from a part inside his ship that knocked its energy levels down 25%.
"Report!" Thanos ordered Ebony Maw.
"Someone has infiltrated the ship and blowing up our power cells!" Maw scans security for the intruders to find Captain Marvel's team having fun blowing up the power cells and reactors that power the ship. "The Avengers! How did they get in here?!" Maw exclaimed, quite surprised.
"Their fleet was a distraction. Clever, but pointless." Thanos figured out a small part of their master plan. Though the titan could easily wipe out the heroes now that he possesses the Exo Gauntlet, he allows them to continue holding onto their false hope. It's not just that he promised to kill them anyways in less than 30 minutes, he also arrogantly believes nothing can stop him. Still, he can't be too cautious. He thrust his gauntlet at his Black Order, granting them a dark aura from his stones that'll give them enough power to crush the heroes so he won't have to get his hands dirty.
"Go, my servants, and eliminate the pests." Thanos ordered his generals.
"We will not fail you, Lord Thanos. The heroes' days are numbered." Corvus evilly grinned.
New Vale City
It's not every day where genius arch-rivals such as Mr. Fantastic and Dr. Doom are seen working together to save the world. The two greatest minds and former colleagues stand side-by-side to fight back against the invaders. Reed rapidly stretches his arms to repeatedly punch his foes until they can't move, while Doom fires mystic bolts to kill those that dares to touch him.
"I always knew you had a heroic side, Victor." Reed said to his former friend.
"I have always been a hero to humanity, Richards. Everything I do is for the survival of the human race." Doom arrogantly replied.
"Tell that to the last few world-ending catastrophes you caused," Reed retorted, pointing out Doom's twisted sense of heroics that has brought the Earth and the universe close to destruction multiple times in the past, "It's not too late to change, Victor. Work with us instead of against us, just like old times."
"I will always be your better, Richards! Doom does not need your pity! I will save this world with or without you heroes!" Doom retorted angrily.
Unaware to Doom and Reed, a warship is about to take fire at the area they're in. A blast that's strong enough to kill them. The warship fires on the geniuses, with only Doom quick enough to react after spotting it. With little time, Doom pushes Reed out of the blast zone to take the full force of the laser, sacrificing himself as the Chaos Stone he held vanished to the wind.
"DOOM!" Reed shouted.
Joined by Ozpin, Amy, and Ms. Marvel, Reed runs back to the crater where Doom was killed, with nothing of him left behind. "Did Doom just…die?" Ms. Marvel asked carefully.
"He sacrificed himself to save me." Reed somberly replied.
"That's a…good thing, right? He was a bad guy." Amy asked, unsure herself.
"But it was because of him we have a fighting chance. Let's not let his death be in vain." Ozpin said.
Reed agrees with the headmaster and nods, "Right." He said before the four return to continue saving the world Doom, in his own twisted way, wanted to protect.

BGM-Sonic Heroes OST-Final Fortress
"BRING US THANOOOS!" Thor yelled as he thunder cracks his hammer on a Chitauri Brute, smashing him through a security door to a large chamber for another swarm of aliens that needs killing from the Unified Heroes. Shadow boosts through the swarm, throwing his signature Chaos Spears to kill a big group of Metarex. Cinder stabs and slices up her own group of aliens, finishing them off with a flaming tendril whip.
"Keep it up! We're about 50% done destroying their reactors! Once the commander center is destroyed, all the aliens will fall apart!" Iron Man reminded the team.
Warlock unleashes cosmic beams to destroy a whole army of aliens, and any that survived were killed by Drax. Yang tosses her partner Blake to the air. The cat faunus attaches a ribbon to swing through the air and swing kick a Chitauri off a bridge. Blaze spins around in flames to burn her foes and kicks them to a giant Outrider that Tails has no problem taking down with a punch from his Cyclone Hulkbuster.
BGM End
During the battle, Captain Marvel destroys another reactor, further weakening Thanos's ship. "That's another one down! Where to next?" She asked.
BGM-Mega Man ZX OST-Deep-Seated Grudge (Tunes Ver.)
Spider-Man was punching a Metarex solider until his Spider-Sense warns him of an energy spear aimed at Carol. "Carol, watch out!" He webs the cosmic hero away from danger.
"Thanks, Spidey!" Carol replied as the heroes watch the spear return to none other than Proxima Midnight's hand, standing between the rest of the enhanced Black Order.
"You earthlings really are a stubborn and FOOLISH race to come here!" Proxima mocked.
"You must be those Black Losers I heard got trounced. Here for a replay?" Hawkeye quipped, aiming his arrow at the dark generals.
"Still with the jokes? Soon you will jest no more once Thanos destroys your planet. There is nothing funny about your destruction." Corvus said.
"YOUR destruction might give us a laugh." Cinder taunted, getting into a fighting stance as she puts on her Toxin mask.
"Couldn't agree more with that." Carol slammed her fists together.
BGM End
BGM-Megaman Zero 3 OST-Cannonball (Mythos Ver.)
The battle between the heroes and the Black Order begins once Corvus flips over to strike at Captain Marvel. Carol successively blocks his glaive with her arm and then punches him in the face. The immortal general teleports through a portal behind her to get a surprise attack, but Ruby shows up and kicks him back. Corvus grunts and dashes towards Ruby while dodging Carol's attempts to blast him. He clashes with the little huntress before she was joined by Lucina and stand on even ground against him before Wolverine lunges and slashes him like an animal.
"You must be Dark Oak! Heard you stole our Planet Egg! Be kind enough to hand it back!" Sonic jokes around, avoiding Dark Oak's blade swings with his speed.
"You'll have to defeat me first, Ruler of Light." Oak replied.
"Don't know what you're talking about, dude. Speak English." Sonic quips, jumping to the side of Oak's energy slash.
"You are one of the few beings who can control the light of the Chaos Emeralds. But as it stands, not even their light could stop me as I am." Oak replied as he manages to hit Sonic.
"I seem to be an expert controlling powerful items. But if you think I'm the ruler of the light, then guess whose it's goddess?" Sonic smirks as Dark Oak gets blasted to a wall by Palutena. Sonic jumps up and then joins Nova, Blake, and Pit's assault against Dark Oak, hitting him with everything they got to severely damage the robot overlord.
"That spear is really pointy. Have you tried it for barbecues? I hear the perfect fork helps pick the best hotdog to eat." Spidey jokes, ducking over Proxima's spear stab then flip kicks her jaw and flies up to web her up, only for her to break free instantly.
"Childish scum!" Proxima throws her spear at Peter but it was deflected by Shadow.
"Spider-Man! We'll hold them off! Take your team to Thanos now!" Shadow ordered Spidey to take the D-Avengers to fight Thanos.
"I still think this is a very, very bad plan." Spidey replied as Grimadoom is seen taking his revenge on Proxima.
"It HAS to work! We have no other choice! GO!" Shadow said as he dashes towards Proxima.
"Alright. My team! Break off and move out!" Spidey ordered the D-Avengers to leave their opponents to their friends while they go hunt down Thanos.
"Leaving all your hopes in children? You fools ARE desperate." Proxima mocked both Shadow and Grimadoom.
"That's not it. I just don't want any distractions while I tear you limb from limb." Shadow smirked.
"I've gotten stronger since we last met, if you haven't noticed." Proxima taunted, showing off her new dark aura thanks to her master.
"Hmph. You truly think you are special in that department?" Grimadoom mocked, powering up his dark blue aura as Shadow transforms into his red-enhanced Chaos Boost state, wielding an ISO Emerald to further increase its form. "This time we won't let our guard down!" Grimadoom declared as the ultimate hedgehogs work together to defeat Proxima once and for all.
Hulk furiously roars against Black Dwarf's incredible strength, finding themselves brutally matched with every blow they trade against each other that devastate the arena. Metal Sonic zooms in, blitzing Dwarf repeatedly with remarkable speed, all while chuckling ominously. Somehow, Dwarf managed to hit Metal with his mace but failed to counter against an uppercut from Hulk, knocking the brute for Drax to strike a few times until Thor finishes charging up his lightning. The thunder god lets out a battle cry, dashing towards Dwarf with a charged up hammer to deliver the fatal blow to the head, killing Black Dwarf.
Jean Grey gets pelleted with arrows from Hawkeye, but it's not his mind that's in control. Supergiant uses her telepathy to take over Barton's mind to unwillingly fight against his allies. "Enough with the mind control, you freak!" Cinder fires her own symbiote flame arrow to hit Supergiant, freeing Hawkeye from her control.
"No one messes with my mind but me!" Hawkeye scowls and joins Cinder in the arrow barrage against Supergiant. Jean lifts up objects to hit Supergiant with but were deflected. Supergiant smiles as she forms illusionary clones to fight the Phoenix and Hawkeye. Too bad, Cinder isn't affected because her Spider-Sense tells her which is the real deal.
"Show's over." Cinder stabs the real Supergiant with a tendril and burns her alive, killing Supergiant.
Dr. Strange and Scarlet Witch also seems to be having trouble against their tricky opponent, Ebony Maw. His shadow reaper protects him from most of the mystic heroes' attacks so he could freely attack with his meteors. Then comes Star-Lord with a boot to his face, getting Maw's attention.
"Your powers are inconsequential compared to mine." Maw taunted, mentally lifting objects to his side and his shadow reaper floating ominously behind him.
"Yeah, but I've seen more movies." Star-Lord shoots at a nearby wall to the vacuum with space. Maw is quickly sucked in but tried to save himself with his reaper, but Warlock and Blaze aren't having any of that and combines their attacks to destroy his reaper and blast him to space to get killed by a laser shot from the Death Egg.
While Quill freezes the hole to space, Iron Man clashes his handblades against Corvus's glaive, doing his best to hold his own against the immortal general. "I cannot be killed, human." Corvus taunted Stark.
"Good for you." Stark quipped as Gamora stabs Corvus from the back and immediately gets Unibeamed, destroying most of his body, leaving Corvus an unconscious torso with a head that'll take a long time to regenerate his body.
Dark Oak finds himself on the verge of defeat. Even after absorbing Earth's Planet Egg and the increase in power thanks to Thanos, he has no defense against the overwhelming might of Nova, Captain Marvel, X, Nebula, Wolverine and Super-Skrull.
"Impossible! Me being overpowered?!" Dark Oak remarked in shock, receiving an energy beam from Nova.
"What did you expect, bub? You took the life of our planet, and that really ticked us off!" Wolverine said, stabbing Oak with his claws.
"We can't let you Metarex continue stealing the lives of so many worlds! This ends now, Maverick!" X stated, firing a charged shot that does heavy damage on Oak's body.
"The machine is right! Prepare to die!" Super-Skrull smashes a rocky fist that slams Oak's body to the floor. Nebula stabs Oak's large green eye, blinding him. Then here comes Captain Marvel with the finishing blow, blitz through and destroying his sword, then pierces straight through Oak's body, retrieving her world's Planet Egg back while Dark Oak lies on the ground as he blows up, destroying him while simultaneously killing the entire Metarex race now that their master is no more, bringing down a one-third of Thanos's whole army.
Proxima seems to be the only Black Order member still standing. She makes a final attempt to avenge her comrades by dash stabbing Shadow, but the ultimate life form distorts space around him to deflect her attack then gets punched by him.
"What is happening?!" Proxima is dumbfounded, confused how she and her allies are getting beaten by the supposed weakling trash of the Unified World.
"You're fighting the Ultimate Life Form! Protector of the planet! I made a promise to protect the world below! I am Shadow the Hedgehog, and by the name I was given, I will destroy you!" Shadow punches Proxima so hard with a chaos-charged punch, she's sent flying through multiple walls and debris.
Grimadoom teleports behind her with a ferocious kick, then summons a dark version of Raven's sword to clash with Proxima's spear and seems to hold the advantage. "I told you, didn't I? I grow stronger from pain! The pain you inflicted during our last clash! This is the power you gave me!" Grimadoom telekinetically pushes Proxima back. The snarling general throws her energy spear but Grimadoom easily dodged it by teleporting in place, but Proxima can control the spear without looking she is and turns it back at Grimadoom from behind. To her great surprise, Grimadoom easily caught the spear without even turning around.
"I warned you! I'm not letting my guard down this time!" Grimadoom teleports in front of Proxima and proceeds to beat the ever living stuffing out of here, dual-wielding his own sword and Proxima's spear. Shadow teleports in to the fun and works together with Grimadoom, blitzing her at terrifying speeds at all sides before they both kick her into the air for their final attack.
The ultimate hedgehogs charge up their respective energies and concentrates their attack directly above Proxima. "CHAOS BLAST!" The two unleashed a double Chaos Blast that vaporizes Proxima into nothingness, putting an end to the Black Order for good.

Shadow drops out of his Chaos Boost mode as he regroups with the other heroes in the chamber. "That's what you get for challenging your superiors." Grimadoom chuckled sinisterly.
"Got back the Planet Egg. Now let's hurry and destroy the commander center and catch up with Spidey's team!" Captain Marvel commanded.
"I'll be really mad if they finished off Thanos without me." Grimadoom joked as they continue traveling the Sanctuary.
"I'm sure it's quite the opposite." Cinder quipped.

"It's getting creepy around here." Tails said, piloting the Cyclone Hulkbuster as the D-Avengers travel deeper within Sanctuary II in search for Thanos.
"It's because we're getting closer to our objective." Lucina replied stoically.
"I guess we're going in the right direction. Are we?" Yang asked.
"Let me check with my Spider-Sense. It'll point out the most dangerous route." Spidey concentrates his Spider-Sense to pinpoint Thanos's current location. The split second he located him however, he feels a painful shock in his head, grunting in pain as he falls on his knee.
"Spidey, you okay?!" Ruby asked in concern.
"I'm fine…I felt the stones' power…Even if one's a fake…having all eight together…" Spidey slowly gets back up and shakes his head of the immense power Thanos wields. He points to a path that'll lead them straight to the mad titan, "He's over there…I'm sure of it."
"Well, guys, it looks like we've reached the climax of this little game. Time to make the big boss man responsible for this invasion, step up and play." Sonic grinned with a confident thumbs up.
"You betcha." Spidey and the others nodded in agreement. The whole D-Avengers team shares one huge fist bump before they take off to face their ultimate challenge yet.

Thanos: Little rodent. Do you not realize the immense power I now hold? No matter what trick you pull off, it will not work, I assure you.
Pit: Oh man. Can we really beat this guy? Everything we throw at him isn't doing anything.
Sonic: Just stay calm and stick to the plan. This plan has to work! I know it will! So let's play, boss man!
