And now, we travel back to the 70's. Enjoy!


New Jersey, 1970:

Sora, Tony, and Steve materialized nearby Camp Leigh, the place where Steve was in the army and had received the Super Soldier Serum. Sora had also changed back into his KHIII attire.

"Are we in 1970?" asked Sora.

"We should be." said Tony. "I remember being shown pictures by my parents and J.A.R.V.I.S."

"Here comes someone in an old car now." said Steve.

A white car with a bumper sticker saying "Nuff Said!" drove by the three.

"Hey, man! Make love, not war!" the driver shouted to Sora, Tony, and Steve as he sped away, laughing.

"That's 70's talk alright." chuckled Tony.

But Steve was confused by the man. "Wait, I thought he was an army general."

Tony then thought about the man as well. "I thought I saw him at some of my showcasings." he muttered. "I mistook him for Hugh Heffner and me and Happy mistook him for Larry King in 2010."

"Wasn't he the army guy who got drunk on that ale Thor brought at that party before Ultron attacked?" asked Sora.

"Wait, no he worked as a security guard at the museum." said Steve.

"Now that I think about it, he was a FedEx guy who dropped off that package Cap sent me and called me, 'Tony Stank.'" said Tony.

"You know, he looks like a young Stan Lee." mused Sora.

Tony and Steve instantly grinned.

"That guy is the best." said Steve. "I love his work."

Tony then chuckled. "Alright. I know what we're all thinking. On three. One, two, three!"

"Excelsior!" the three said in unison before laughing happily.

"Alright." chuckled Steve. "Come on, let's get what we need."

"I'm afraid your mission stops here, Captain." came a voice.

Sora, Tony, and Steve jumped as they turned and saw Young Xehanort, Ansem, and Xemnas standing behind them. It had been Ansem who spoke.

Young Xehanort and Xemnas wore their Organization cloaks.

Ansem was now wearing his normal clothes. He wore silver-white gloves on his hands, each with a grey band on the wrist, while the rest of the glove, which had three black buttons lining one side, belled outwards. There was a black pauldron on both of his shoulders, each attached to his coat by two straps. He also wore black pants and black, silver-lined, knee-high boots identical to the ones worn by Organization XIII members. His black leather coat was red on the inside and lined with yellow, and also had a large grey section that covered the lower half and shoulders of the coat. Upon closer inspection, this grey section seemed to be attached by several small pins or buttons around the hip and neck sections of the coat, as well as by a belt that wrapped around his back and attached to the rim of the coat. The coat was high-collared and completely unzipped, showing the second, shorter jacket Ansem wore underneath. Hi's second jacket was white and high-collared much like the outer coat. It was mostly unbuttoned and exposed his chest before being closed up by three buttons and two belts near his waist, only to flare outward again, leaving three buttons undone. On his chest is the Heartless emblem, but it seemed to be just decoration as it appeared attached to the long coat.

"Ansem! Xemnas! Xehanort!" exclaimed Sora.

"Not those two idiots again." growled Tony as he remembered Ansem and Xemnas had foiled their attempts at getting rid of the gauntlet from Thanos.

"And the young incarnation of the big bad." Steve said with a glare.

"So nice to have you remember us." mused Xemnas.

"You lot still think you have a chance to fix what Thanos has caused?" Young Xehanort asked with a wicked grin. "You have already messed up which led to this whole mess."

"You so-called heroes think you can save everyone." huffed Ansem. "All you do is just meddle in everything at it leads to disaster."

"That's funny considering that you three follow Xehanort." Sora said with a glare.

"Exactly." said Steve. "Like Thanos, Xehanort is gonna cause destruction to all the worlds if he gets his way."

"And you lot think you're doing better." smirked Xemnas. "You're basically signing deathwishes to try and bring everyone back."

"You still can't think you can save everyone." Young Xehanort chuckled darkly.

"Doesn't mean we can't do whatever it takes to try." snarled Tony as he had his Mark 85 materialize around him.

"You three bastards are leaving this base and returning to your castle." said Steve as he got his shield ready.

"You really think you can face all of us?" Ansem asked, smirking.

"It's 3 on 3!" said Sora as he summoned Kingdom Key and Master's Defender.

Ansem, Xemnas, and Young Xehanort smirked as they summoned their signature Keyblades.

"You two ready?" asked Sora.

"Ready." said Tony.

"Let's do this." said Steve.

"Right! Let's go!" sais Sora.

(Ansem, Xemnas, and Young Xehanort Boss Fight from Kingdom Hearts III plays)

Mission: Defeat the Organization members

Party Members:
Sora

Iron Man

Captain America

Young Xehanort attacked first by casting orbs of darkness. Sora slashed them away and clashed Keyblades with the youngest Organization member. Tony fired several blasts at them, only for Xemnas to black them all and attack Tony with a Blizzard spell. Tony quickly materialized a shield that blocked it while Sora slashed Xemnas with Kingdom Key. Ansem tried to attack Steve as he blocked with his shield. Steve managed to bash Xehanort's Heartless in the face, only to get blasted by a Dark Firaga spell casted by Ansem. Sora and Ansem clashed Keyblade while Tony backed up the brunette by firing multiple blasts at Ansem. Young Xehanort casted Thunder Tracer against Sora. But a recovered Steve came to the rescue by throwing his shield against Young Xehanort's face. Xemnas snarled as he summoned one of his ethereal blades and attempted to slash them away. While he managed to slash Sora, Tony materialized an iron mallet and bashed Xemnas in the face. Sora cured himself and then fired Wind Tracer back at Xemnas. Ansem casted orbs of darkness at the group, which they easily dodged. Sora fired Firaga Burst at Assam as Tony threw a bunch of iron grenades at him. Young Xehanort jumped into the air and fired Meteor at the group. Sora was able to destroy them with Ignite spells while Tony and Steve managed to block themselves with their shields (Tony's being materialized).

Young Xehanort landed on the ground and fried Blizzara at the group, knocking them back. Tony got up first and blasted him with a beam from his chest piece. But no sooner did he do that, Xemnas sent a wave of ethereal bladed in his direction. Sora got up and fired Blizzaga back at the blades. Xemnas growled as he fired Ignite at the group. While Sora and Tony were knocked back, Stev managed to get up, jump into the air, and throw his shield into Xemnas. Ansem suddenly blasted Steve with a Tornado Tracer spell and then slashed him across his chest. But Sora managed to get Ansem back by casting a Triple Plasma spell at him. Tony sent several blasts from his palms against Young Xehanort, who only managed to block some of them while getting hit in the chest. He snarled as he fired Deep Freeze and the group, which Sora managed to counter by firing Double Firaga from both Keyblades. Xemnas summoned his ethereal blade in his free hand as he and Sora clashed their weapons. Steve blocked several dark orbs fired by Ansem as he charged forwards and spun around multiple, bashing the Heartless in the face.

Soon, the three villains were near defeat as they struggled to hold onto their Keyblades.

"Almost got 'em!" said Tony.

"Now what?" asked Steve.

Sora smirked as he had Two Become One summon behind him. "Watch this, Steve!" he smirked as he held Kingdom Key and Master's Defender in the air. Patterns appeared under his feet as he shouted,

"ULTIMA!"

Thrice the amount of an Ultima Spell was summoned as dozens of energy orbs of light bashed into the three incarnations of Xehanort multiple times, Beijing them fall in their backs, finally ending the battle.

(Ansem, Xemnas, and Young Xehanort Boss Fight from Kingdom Hearts III ends)

Ansem, Xemnas, and Young Xehanort laid on the ground, battered and bruised from the fight. Sora dismissed Two Become One and Master's Defender as he casted Curaga on himself, Steve, and Tony.

"Was that Ultima?" asked Steve in shock.

"Triple, actually." said Tony with a smirk. "And Sora can do a more powerful one with four. A spell he invented."

Steve was amazed. "Wow…" he looked at Sora. "Sora, you really are a one of a kind a Keyblade Master."

Sora chuckled sheepishly. "Thanks Cap."

Then, they heard the three villains groan while getting up.

"Very well then. Steal what you want from the army base." huffed Ansem.

"But remember this: even if you fix what was broken, the damage has been done." said Xemnas.

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" demanded Tony.

Young Xehanort chuckled evilly. "If you ever manage to fix this… then you'll know." he replied as the three left through a corridor of darkness.

Sora turned to Steve and Tony.

"We'll worry about that later." he said.

"Right." nodded Steve. "Come on. We got a stone and some particles to collect."

"But first, we'll need disguises." said Tony.


After going to a costume shop, the three Avengers arrived at the base, dressed all professional.

"Clearly, you weren't actually born here, right?" asked Tony.

"The idea of me was." Steve replied.

"The Super Soldier Serum." Sora realized.

"Right. Well, imagine you're SHIELD, running a quasi-fascistic intelligence organization. Where do you hide it?" asked Tony.

"In plain sight." Steve replied.

Then, they saw Tony's father, Howard Stark, enter the building with his friend, Edwin Jarvis.


Sora, Tony, and Steve were now in an elevator with a lady.

"I'll meet up with you through the vents." Sora whispered.

"Are you sure you can fit?" asked Tony.

Sora smirked. "Webby taught us. You'd be surprised what that girl duck is capable of teaching."

"She seems like it." Tony mused as he left the elevator. "Good luck on your mission, Captain."

"Good luck on your project, doctor." said Steve.

"See you later." said Sora as the elevator closed.


A young Hank Pym was working on the Any-Man helmet in his laboratory when the phone rang. He picked it up.

"Hello. Dr. Pym?" came Steve's voice.

"That would be the number that you called. Yes." nodded Hank.


We now see Steve talking to Hank on a phone down the hall while Sora stood nearby on watch.

"This is Captain Stevens from shipping. We have a package for you." said Steve.


"Bring it up." said Hank.


"Well, that's the thing, sir. We can't." said Steve.


"I'm confused. I thought that was your job." said Hank, puzzled.


"Well, it's just– Sir, the box is glowing and, to be honest, some of our mail guys aren't feeling that great." Steve said.


Hank grew concerned. "They didn't open it, did they?" he asked.


"Yeah, they did." said Steve.

He then held out the phone for Sora.

"Get down here, the men are starting to fall!" Sora called while trying not to attract attention.

"You better get down here." Steve said worriedly.


Hank immediately hung up and bogged down the hall.

"Excuse me! Out of the way!" he shouted as he ran past many people.

Seeing that they were clear, Sora and Steve went down the hall. They saw the Pym particles on Hank's desk.

"There they are." said Sora.

Steve carefully took three vials.

"Ok, I'm gonna go find Tony." said Sora.

"Head to the floor we dropped him off at then go through the ducts." said Steve.

Sora looked at a map nearby and nodded.

"Done."

Just then, they saw two women walk by. They quickly hid in a side office as they walked by.

"That was close." panted Sora. He then noticed something. "Hey, look at that Steve."

Steve saw what Sora was looking at: a picture of him in the army… prior to the serum.

"That was you?" Sora asked softly.

Steve nodded. "Yeah. Back when I was just a kid from Brooklyn hoping to defend my country.

Then, the two spotted someone through the window outside. Steve's eyes widened when he saw who it was.

Peggy Carter. She was organizing some papers.

"Peggy." Steve said with a sad smile.

Sora looked at Steve softly. "You miss her, don't you?" he asked.

Steve nodded. "Yeah. I had that date with her. But, now I know I can't have that life." he said solemnly.

Sora looked at Steve sadly. While he knew that Steve was happy in his new life now, he also knew that Steve felt guilt from having to leave Peggy after they defeated Red Skull. How broken-hearted she was after that, thinking she would never see Steve again, up until Steve was fished out of the ice and visited her until she died.

Then, Sora had an idea.

"What if you could?" he asked.

Steve looked at Sora, confused. "Whaddya mean?"

"What if you could live both lives?" he asked.

Steve was now more confused. "I don't follow." he replied.

Sora smiled. "I'll tell you later." he said as he went outside the office.

Steve wasn't sure what Sora had in mind. But he trusted him.

Sora walked through the hall when he was stopped by Peggy.

"Excuse me sir, but have you seen Dr. Hank Pym?" she asked.

"I saw him run down the hall." said Sora, nervously.

"Why would he do that?" asked Peggy, confused.

Sora shrugged. "Not sure. But I think I overheard something about some delivery making the shipping people sick."

Peggy grew concerned. After the Tesseract, the last thing they wanted was for something to happen to people coming in contact with a dangerous artifact.

"I'd better head down there." she muttered as she bolted down the hall. "Thank you kind sir!"

"You're welcome!" Sora called as he quickly ran for the elevator before Peggy realized what's-what.

Steve watched him go, amused.


Sora exited the elevator and used his Keyblade to open the vents. He carefully crawled inside.


Sora remembered the map layout as he crawled through the vents. He then came into a room where he could see Tony.

"Psst! Tony! Over here!" Sora whispered loudly.

Tony heard this and ran over to where Sora was and opened the vents with some nanoparticles.

Sora crawled out as Tony helped him up.

"We got the particles?" asked Tony.

"Yeah, but we'll have to hurry." said Sora. "Cause sooner or later, Hank and Peggy are gonna discover that they've been tricked."

Tony nodded. "Right, let's go."

They approached several containers. Tony used his glasses to scan them to see which one the Tesseract was in. The glasses detected which one it was.

"That one." he said.

Sora kept watch while Tony used an iron gauntlet from his suit to open the container with a laser. The container opened, revealing the bright blue Tesseract inside.

Sora quickly ran over to Tony with a case and Tony set it inside before closing the container.

"Gotha, back in the game." Tony smirked.

"Ok, let's go." said Sora.

Just then...

"Arnim, you in there? Arnim?"

"It's Dad!" Tony whispered in shock as he and Sora tried to leave.

Then, Howard entered the room. "Hey! Door's this way, guys!" he called.

"Oh, yeah." Tony said nervously as he tried to compose himself in front of his dad.

"I'm looking for Dr. Zola. Have you seen him?" asked Howard.

"Yeah, no, Dr. Zol– No, I haven't seen a soul." Tony stuttered.

"No, we haven't seen him." said Sora.

Howard nodded. "Pardon me. Do I know you?" he asked.

"No, sir. We're-we're visitors from MIT." said Tony.

"The both of you?" asked Howard.

"I'm an intern." Sora said quickly. "Top of my class. Graduated early and work as his intern now."

"Really?" Howard asked, impressed.

"Yeah, it's true." Tony lied. "He gets paid really well."

"That's great. And MIT too." Howard said, impressed. "What are your names?" he asked.

Sora and Tony traded nervous glances.

"Uh – Howard." answered Tony.

"Well, that'll be easy to remember." chuckled Howard.

"Howard — Potts." Tony added quickly.

"Well, I'm Howard Stark." said Howard. He looked to Sora. "What about you kid?"

"Uh - Ventus. Ven for short." said Sora, smiling nervously.

"That's an interesting name." mused Howard.

"Ven… LeStrange." Sora added.

"LeStrange?" asked Howard.

"Well my mother's Italian and my father's British." explained Sora. "I didn't hear an American accent until I was like, 7." (1)

"That's Nice." said Howard's as he held out hand to shake with Tony's.

"Hi." said Tony as he grabbed a finger.

"Shake it, don't pull it." said Howard.

"Yeah–" nodded Tony as they shook.

Howard then shook Sora's hand.

"Pleasure to meet you Mr. Stark." he said.

"Thank you Ven." said Howard as he looked back at Tony. "You look a little green around the gills there, Potts."

"I'm fine. Just, long hours." Tony replied.

"Yeah, lot going on in his life." nodded Sora.

"Wanna get some air?" asked Howard.

Tony didn't reply.

"Hello, Potts?" called Howard.

"Earth to Howard!" called Sora.

Tony shook his head, regaining himself. "Yeah. That would be swell." he nodded.

Howard pointed one direction. "That way." he said.

"Okay." nodded Tony.

"Need your briefcase?" Howard asked.

"Here you go Mr. Potts." said Sora, handing the case to Tony.

"Thanks kid." smiled Tony as they walked out.

"You're not one of those beatniks, are ya, Potts?" Howard asked, making Tiny gives him an odd look and Sora laugh.


Vormir, May 2018:

Aqua, Natasha, Clint, Pepper, and Carol materialized on the purple planet. They could see the giant infrastructure in the distance.

"There it is." said Carol.

"Wow– Under different circumstances, this would be totally awesome." mused Clint.

"Yeah, kind would be." nodded Pepper.

"I bet the raccoon didn't have to climb the mountain." said Natasha.

"Technically, he's not a raccoon, you know." reminded Clint.

"Whatever. He eats garbage." replied Natasha.

"So what's the plan?" asked Pepper.

"We wait for Thanos and Gamora to arrive." said Aqua. "We have to let him sacrifice her so we can steal the Soul Stone from him."

"It still sounds risky." said Clint. "But as long as we manage to get the upper hand long enough to escape, we'll be good."

"Let's hope so." said Pepper.

"I just hope he believes I'm a member of the Kree." said Carol.

"And hopefully not the traitorous kind like Ronan was to him." said Pepper, remembering the story Sora, Donald, Roxas, Ven, Rocket, and Nebula told them.

"As long as you act like Ronan was a disgrace to the Kree, I'm sure it'll work." said Aqua.

"Let's fly." said Natasha,

Carol took off first. Pepper then followed, flying for the first time in her Rescue armor. Aqua summoned her armor (except the mask) and then transformed Stormfall into her gilder. Natasha and Clint hopped on as they took off for the mountain.

This mission was gonna be extremely difficult.


New Jersey, 1970:

"So, flowers and sauerkraut. You got a big date tonight?" said Tony as he looked at the stuff Howard was carrying.

"My wife's expecting. And, uh– Too much time in the office." answered Howard.

"Congratulations." said Tony with a smile.

"Yeah, congratulations Mr. Stark." said Sora.

"Thanks." smiled Howard. "Hold this, will you?" he asked.

"Yeah, sure." said Tony as he held the flowers. "How far along is she?"

"I don't know– Uh– She's at the point where she can't stand the sound of my chewing." replied Howard. "I guess I'll be eating dinner in the pantry again."

Sora and Tony laughed. Before Morgan was born, Pepper was like that. Only much worse.

'Wonder if Della was like that before she laid her eggs. Or Victoria before she had Max.' Sora thought to himself, while also thinking of other mothers he met. Nala, Lorraine McFly, Jennifer Parker (in the future), Maggie McFly, Clara Clayton, Laura Barton, Maggie Lang, and especially Ortensia considering she and Oswald had 420 bunny children.

"I have a little girl." said Tony.

"She's very nice and adorable." added Sora. "Her name's Morgan."

"A girl would be nice." mused Howard. "Less of a chance she'd turn out exactly like me."

Sora and Tony looked taken aback.

"What'd be so awful about that?" asked Tony.

"Let's just say that the greater good has rarely outweighed my own self-interests." Howard replied.

"I see." nodded Tony as Howard talked to someone nearby. Tony turned to Sora. "Where'd LeStrange come from?" he asked, curious.

Sora smiled. "You remember me telling you about Lena, right?" he asked.

"Magica's rebellious shadow who got to live her own life with a caring family." nodded Tony. "You guys."

Sora chuckled. "Yeah, well, before she met Webby, Lena used LeStrange as a way to not sound related to Magica De Spell and secretly isolate herself from her abusive creator." (2)

Tony smiled. "That is very creative." he mused.

Sora smiled. "Yeah. Sure is."


Later, the three walked outside.

"So, where are you at with names?" asked Tony.

"Well, if it's a boy, my wife likes Elmanzo." Howard replied.

'Elmanzo Edward Stark.' Sora and Tony thought together. 'Or E.E. Stark. No, Double E. Stark.'

"That's a nice one." said Sora.

"Although, you might wanna let that stew awhile." suggested Tony. "You got time."

"Let me ask you a question." said Howard. "When your kid was born– were you nervous?"

"Wildly. Yeah." nodded Tony.

"Did you feel qualified? Like you had any idea how to successfully operate that thing?" asked Howard.

"Are you talking about a baby in terms of a machine?" Sora asked, bewildered.

Howard froze in place.

"Huh, guess I am." he said sheepishly.

Tony chuckled. "I literally pieced it together as I went along, I thought about what my Dad did, and–"

"My old man, he never met a problem he couldn't solve with a belt." sighed Howard.

Sora and Tony were shocked but looked at Howard with sympathy. No wonder he kept his distance from Tony. He didn't want to turn out like his dad. He wanted to be indifferent.

"I thought my dad was tough on me. And now, looking back, I just remember the good stuff, you know. He did drop the odd pearl." said Tony.

"Yeah? Like what?" asked Howard,

"'No amount of money ever bought a second of time.'" said Tony.

"Smart guy." Howard commented.

"He did his best." said Tony.

"He sure did." said Sora. He walked up to Howard. "Howard, let me tell you something. I have several friends who are parents or parents figures themselves. My friend Donald, after his sister disappeared, he took it upon himself to raise her children. No matter what obstacles he faced, he took great care of them for over 10 years. A dedicated father-figure for his sister's kids. And another friend of mine, well… he may be goofy at times, but he's a real dedicated father too. After his wife died in a car collision, he raised his son all by himself for 17 years. He may not be the smartest guy I've met, but he is a great dad. And Mr. Potts here, he may have had trouble in the past with… his students… but he learned from his mistakes. And he is a great father to a beautiful baby girl."

Tony looked at Sora, surprised and flattered by his words. He smiled at the boy.

"My point is Howard, parenthood isn't easy, but you'll figure it out as you go along." Sora said with a smile.

Howard thought over Sora's words and smiled. "Thanks kid. And let me tell you, that kid's not even here yet, and there's nothing I wouldn't do for him." he told them.

Sora and Tony smiled proudly at Howard as he moved to his car.

"Good to meet you, Potts. LeStrange." he said to them.

"Yeah, Howard– Everything's gonna be all right." said Tiny as he suddenly hugged him, much to Howards' surprise. "Thank you– for everything– you've done for this country." he quickly said.

Howard nodded with a smile as he went to his car. Sora and Tony then spotted Steve several feet away and exchanged nods. The two walked over to the Super Soldier.

Howard watched them go as he turned to Jarvis.

"Jarvis, have we ever met those guys?" he asked.

"You meet a lot of people, sir." said Jarvis.

"The older one seems very familiar." Howard mused. "Weird beard." he added. "And that kid…"

"What about him sir?" Jarvis asked, curious.

"He seems like the kind of kid you can trust." Howard replied.

Jarvis smiled. "You'd be surprised how many people of all different ages you can trust." he told him.

Howard nodded as he got into his car and Jarvis shut the door. Jarvis then got into the passenger seat and they drove off.


Morga, 2014:

2014 Nebula had captured 2018 Nebula. 2014 Nebula was fighting her future self..

"You're weak." she snarled.

"I'm you." Nebula shot back

2014 Nebula threw a punch straight at Nebula. Then, Gamora walked into the room.

"You can stop this. You know you want to." Nebula said to Gamora. "Did you see what happens in the future? Thanos finds the Soul Stone. You wanna know how he does that? You wanna know what he does to you?"

Before Gamora could ask, 2014 Nebula interrupted.

"That's enough. You disgust me. But that doesn't mean you're useless." she said with a dark look.

2014 Nebula took off the golden plate on the side of Nebula´s face and wore it herself.

She then walked into another room, where Thanos was as she held the Pym particles she stole off her future self.

"How do I look?" 2014 Nebula asked.

To be continued…


Hope you all enjoyed!

Next chapter… the fight for the Soul Stone.

See you then!
