Thank you to everyone who has favorited, followed or reviewed this fic so far.
Guest: Thank you for the review. Damn! Completely forgot about Charisma in Lucifer Season 2, thanks for the reminder. And yes, the Wesley thing sounds like a Easter Egg now that you say it. Okay, that's a cool fact, thanks for sharing.
Chapter 9- Loss
"The Senior Partners feel threatened", Wesley said as he walked between all of the assembled Heroes. "By you, yes, but there is someone who terrifies them even more than you do. And they want him gone."
"Who is this person?" Thor asked.
"They didn't tell me his name", Wesley said. "But they say he is making a powerful Witch on this Earth work for him, to further his own agenda, and what he plans is going to lock them out of this Universe."
"For some reason, I don't think that's a bad thing", Angel quipped.
"They also want you and Peter Parker", Wesley said as all looked at Angel and Parker. "Because you, Angel, killed their liaison, and you, Mr. Parker, destroyed him when they were using him as a vessel."
"I still have no idea how that happened", Parker said truthfully.
"That is not something they really care about", Wesley said.
"Now tell me again, why are we supposed to help the Senior Partners against this guy?" Steve asked.
"Well, if he locks them out, it will also lock all of you in here", Wesley revealed, and then there was pin drop silence for a few moments.
"How is that possible?" Aragorn asked.
"Have any of you ever heard of the Seed of Wonder?" Wesley asked, looking around at them all.
"Yes", Giles said. "It predates humans and ev-"
"If I could punch you right now, I would", Wesley snarled at Giles, who wisely kept his mouth shut and backed off, and Team Angel, especially Gunn, could only imagine what Wesley would do to Giles if he was corporeal, considering he had non-fatally stabbed Gunn for his indirect role in Fred's death.
"It predates almost everything on this Earth", Strange said as all looked at him. "Even The First Evil."
"The Seed's not evil, right?" Buffy asked. "Because in that case, The First Evil isn't an accurate name."
"The Earth itself was created from it", Strange revealed. "And it is what brought the Old Ones here."
"Yes, it is also what kept us on here", Illyria spoke as all looked to her now. "It was strong enough to prevent warring creatures and magical energies from bleeding into unknown older Dimensions."
"As long as it is in place, this order would continue", Wesley said.
"Think "cork"", Spike said as all looked at him now. "As long as it's in place, things stay more or less where they should."
"It is responsible for magic in this world too, and other Dimensions around us", Wesley said.
"So if it goes, I lose my magic, and not just me, every Witch and Warlock in this world", Willow said in realization. "And the Slayers will lose their powers too."
"Not something we can afford", Faith shook her head.
"So this person is trying to destroy the Seed, is that right?" Aragorn asked Wesley.
"Yes, he is", Wesley said. "To prevent the Senior Partners from entering this world."
"But he doesn't care what happens to this world in the process", Steve said in realization.
"We must stop him", Kal voice what everyone was thinking.
"Great", Angel groaned sarcastically. "As if the Senior Partners weren't enough."
"Well then, let's go", Strange said as he opened a portal…..but it didn't open!
"What?" Strange wondered in shock as he tried to open a portal again. He tried a third time, and this time small Eldritch energy fizzled in Space but nothing happened.
"What happened, cloak boy?" Spike asked. "You opened thousands of portal back in the alley."
"I feel like an amateur again", Strange muttered.
Merlin tried to teleport away but nothing happened again. "My teleportation doesn't work either."
Gandalf tried the same but the result was the same. "It appears none of us can travel swiftly right now."
Cisco held out his palm to open a breach but the energy fizzled out as well.
"Not again", Cisco groaned.
Willow tried to teleport but she failed as well. "Oh no!"
"Whoever this person is must be a very powerful magician if he can stop your portals", Legolas said.
"What are we supposed to do now?" Natasha muttered.
"Well", Bart said as he stepped up. "If we can't portal there, we must run", he turned to Thor, Kal, Kara, Aragorn, Steve, Tony, John Jones, Tess, and anyone else who could fly. "Or fly."
He then asked Wesley. "Where do we have to go though?"
"The Seed had a guardian before he died", Wesley said, looking directly at Buffy now. "The Master."
Buffy's eyes widened in shock and realization as she realized where they had to go.
Taking a deep breath she said. "The Hellmouth."
Same time, ruins of Sunnydale, Hellmouth
Doctor Doom hovered down from the crater, landing inside. He just needed to find it now. It would not be too hard.
In a few minutes, Bart, Pietro, Barry, Kal, Kara, John Jones, Thor, Steve and Tony had managed to speed everyone from the Hyperion Hotel to the ruins of Sunnydale other than Nina Ash, since this wasn't a full moon night, and they had also left Devil Dinosaur and Cordelia the Dragon, in case anyone attacked the hotel, and now they were faced by an army of Demons.
"Do these look familiar?" Tony muttered as they saw several 3-headed Demons jump out.
"Doom", Steve snarled in realization as they looked at all the familiar Demons.
"Oh come on!" Parker groaned. "Like couldn't he give us a bit of a break before starting up again?"
"Who is Doom?" Buffy asked.
"A powerful sorcerer and master of magic who wants…..I have no idea what he wants", Strange said as all prepared to battle creatures charging at them.
"Steady!" Aragorn commanded, standing next to Steve, Kal, Buffy and Oliver, all of them being leaders of their respective Earths.
"When we say go, the heavy hitters will go", Steve said.
"Just wait", Buffy said as the Demons got a little closer.
"GO!" All five of them said together.
Kal and Kara rammed into two large 3-headed Dogs really, really hard, sending them both flying off as Thor hurled down Stormbreaker, the lightning explosion taking down two more of those as all of them charged too.
Bart, Barry and Pietro sped around again with knives, slicing the Marionettes, which seemed to be the weakest Demons.
As the electric bats tried to fry them, Willow used her powers to send water at them, killing some while Wanda too used her red mist to take more down, and Strange sent some down with his concussive waves.
Storm grabbed a feline leaping at her and tossed it away before using powerful winds to blow back many more of them.
"Slayer and weather controller", Angel muttered. "What a combination."
Willow flew down next to him, destroying a blue fanged creature with lightning. "You should see Wanda, she is me and Buffy in one."
That moment, Wanda expanded a force field, sending many Demons flying off as Angel said. "Just did."
Parker punched a feline on the head, sending it down, and pushed his foot back to kick a blue fanged thing away before flipping to avoid another one of those leaping at him and punching it down.
Blaze passed by on his bike, wrapping his chain around a Scythe and turning it into ash.
Logan had his flaming claws out, using it easily destroy several Demons with a slice as Bucky walked next to him, firing his gun around. "See? You should use those more."
"I think I'm inclined to agree, bub", Logan said, slicing a Scythe to death with his claws.
Steve used his Ring to make a hammer and threw it to the ground, the shockwave sending many more Demons flying off as Angel, Spike and Illyria fought side to side.
Angel sliced a Demon's throat as Spike stabbed one in the gut, and Illyria chopped off three's head simultaneously.
"And here I thought the previous brawl would be our last", Spike quipped before turning to Illyria. "Enjoying this?"
"Yes, I am enjoying the violence, pet", Illyria said as Spike groaned, while Angel just chuckled.
Buffy sliced a feline with her sword and stabbed a blue fang leaping at her through the roof of the mouth, as Faith sliced another down effortlessly.
Jones put several of the creatures to sleep with his touch, while Hulk, Etrigan and Colossus scattered them about effortlessly.
Legolas, Oliver and Ollie were together again, firing arrows, with Gimli next to Legolas and taking out some more Demons with his ax.
Boromir pushed a Marionette back with his shield and brought his sword down on him while Nyssa fired an arrow at a feline rushing at him, killing it before walking next to him.
"I owe you once more, Nyssa", Boromir said to her.
"You can repay me by helping me fight some more", Nyssa smirked as they stood back to back, killing any creature that came close.
Tony fired a missile at a 3-headed Dog's middle head, destroying it and taking the other ones down as Terminator formed a blade and flew at another one, stabbing its heart as it went down too.
"Huh! Why didn't I do that?" Tony wondered.
"Because you're an idiot", Rhodes said, flying next to him and firing himself.
Connor used a scythe to slice two Marionettes and a feline before a 3-headed dog came upon him, but Kara did a thunderclap and it was sent flying off as she landed next to him.
"Thanks", Connor said.
"No problem", Kara said and gave him a wink, making him smile before she flew off.
Then suddenly there was a loud roar as all turned to see a giant green creature with long hair coming out of the crater, an ax in his hand. He looked a lot like Hulk.
"He green", Hulk snarled, glaring at him.
"Why does he look so much like us?" Banner wondered too.
Blade fired at him but nothing happened, except the creature growled in anger as Blade mouthed to himself. 'What-the-fuck?!'
Then suddenly, the creature ran at a Kryptonian speed, shocking everyone, killing a few Slayers in its way, as all watched in horror.
Willow was about to hit it with a spell when she was knocked back by a telekinetic blast and glared in anger on seeing who it was.
"Amy", Willow snarled in anger. "Why am I not surprised you joined this Doom guy?"
"Oh no! He actually threatened me and Warren-"
"Warren?" Willow asked in horror and that was when the skinless Warren flew up next to Amy with a jetpack.
"What? Shocked to see me?" Warren asked with a laugh. "My girlfriend here saved me, you must be wishing you had been able to save yours too."
Willow clenched her fists, struggling to not go dark again as she snarled. "So you saved him, for some reason, ending you both together is going to be very satisfying."
"Who do you think gave Amy the idea of turning you into me?" Warren asked and laughed Willow was even more angered at remembering that.
"We are going to lose our powers soon, and can't do a thing about it. Better have my revenge before that happens", Amy said as she fired flames at Willow who conjured a barrier to protect herself while Warren tried to fire a freeze ray at her but a fireball from Dawn below hit him, sending him back as she glared at him in anger.
Amy glared at Dawn in anger too when she was hit by lightning, throwing her back as Willow said. "She is good, but I am the real threat to you."
Warren roared and flew down at Dawn instead, but before Willow or Dawn could do a thing, Illyria stepped in his way and grabbed him by the face, throwing him to the ground, breaking his bones as he screamed in pain, and then shattered the jetpack.
Amy moved to strike Illyria but Willow conjured knives and hurled them at Amy, making her stop and deflect them instead, and during that time, Illyria ripped out Warren's spine, finally killing the misogynist scumbag once and for all.
"NOOOOOOOOOO!" Amy yelled in horror, only for a blast of energy from Willow to hit her face as she was sent flying back.
Kal flew in front of the big creature, speeding at it as their fists clashed, creating a powerful shockwave that broke the nearby ground while Bart, Barry and Pietro managed to speed away anyone nearby, protecting them from the creature.
Kal flew back to avoid a swing of the creature's ax and punched it hard, sending it flying off. As it crashed to the ground, Kal rammed down at it but it managed to slide away to avoid at its own super speed, with Kal destroying the ground instead.
It made to speed at Kal again but Kara rammed into it and it sent flying off once more, crashing to the ground, while both Kal and Kara fired Heat Vision at it, making it roar in anger as it first felt pain before it clutched its fists in anger, tightening its hand around its ax, and fire Heat Vision back, to their horror, sending them both flying back as it hit them.
It got up, only to be tackled to the ground by Hulk, making it drop its ax as Hulk roared. "HULK IS STRONGEST THERE IS!"
Hulk then punched its face thrice, destroying the ground underneath its head as it roared in anger before blocking Hulk's 4th punch.
"Not anymore", the creature said in a voice similar to Hulk and flipped him over, damaging the ground, and getting up, picked up its ax and rammed it into Hulk's chest, making him scream in pain again.
It was then hit by electricity from Gwen Raiden, but that only made it snarl in anger when Storm hit it with a powerful lightning blast from above and Wanda started forming a red barrier around it, trying to trap it in, but it stomped the ground with its foot and the resulting shaking of the Earth tripped her and many other nearby, making the barrier disappear.
Then Logan ran and leapt at it, managing to slice its abdomen with his hot claws, making it roar madly in pain before it kicked Logan hard, sending him flying off by many feet and crashing to the ground, now in need of healing of course.
Gandalf and Merlin both appeared on either side of it, trying to contain it telekinetically as they chanted spells, but it stomped the ground again and they were both sent rolling away.
Wonder Woman then wrapped it in her lasso. "I compel you to surrender."
The creature struggled, getting on its knees for a bit, before recovering as its strength increased and it grabbed the lasso, tossing her away and unwrapping it.
That was when it was hit by its own ax from behind as Hulk roared, driving it deeper into it and pushing it away, before it pulled the ax out and kicked Hulk away.
Then it was hit by Mjolnir as Aragorn called it back and twirled it in the air, slamming it on the ground as the lightning sent it back again, and then it was hit by a missile from Steve which exploded, making it stagger again.
Then it did a thunderclap and both were sent back as well, only for Kal to ram into it again.
Kal side-stepped to avoid a blow and grabbed its hand, flipping it over, and as it got up, Kara grabbed it from behind and flew up with it before tossing it into the air. Both flew at it and punched it together, sending it higher up, but it used its own speed to dodge their next punch and rammed into them hard, sending them crashing to the ground instead as it broke.
"Behold man's final mad disgrace. He creates a beast, to destroy his own race", Etrigan rhymed as he grasped the creature's ax between his hands to block a swing and kicked him away, making him roll on the ground. He leapt at him but the creature rolled away to avoid and rammed into him, sending him flying off.
That was when Thor landed in front of it as it gave him a roar of challenge.
"I see you have an ax", Thor noted before lifting up Stormbreaker. "Mine is better though. So I accept your surrender."
Vegeta's Super Saiyan theme plays
The creature just snarled in anger as Thor smirked. "That's right my friend. Let me ask you- does a mindless creature like yourself ever experience fear?"
He clutched his fists, tightening his grip around Stormbreaker as he grunted with gritted teeth, an aura flashing around his body as lightning cracked in the sky. The ground under his feet then broke as rocks flew around while clouds flew away too.
"Damn!" Buffy said, looking awed at his display of power.
"Man, we really need more like him, the two super cousins, the green guy, the Hammer King and Cap, actually, we need more like 'em all", Angel said next to her, everyone else looking at the scene in awe too. Of course the Avengers had seen it a few times, but it never got any less awesome to watch, and even the Demons were watching it.
Amy too watched the bit, and so did Willow.
Even the creature looked shocked.
"RRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH! YAAAAAH! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!"
The ground under him broke even more as the creature was sent flying back and so were many others as Thor roared louder.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGGHHHH!"
The ground shattered as an aura of Odinforce surrounded Thor, with everyone simply watching in awe at the scene.
The creature got back up and charged Thor with its ax as Thor put Stormbreaker in the way and the creature's ax was chopped into two, before Thor struck it hard with a lightning blast, sending it flying back again while Kal and Kara landed next to him and Wonder Woman walked up to them as well, and then Aragorn landed near them too while Hulk walked to them, and finally Steve landed near them as well. Etrigan too jumped near them.
"You think we can hold it off?" Kal asked Thor.
"I think we can", Thor agreed. In spite of his little display of power, he wasn't sure if even he could finish the creature yet, but he was sure he could give it the fight of its life.
"Well then, let's do so", Kara agreed and Hulk snarled in agreement.
"Come on", Steve said as all of them charged the creature together.
Same time
Doom reached his destination. The Seed of Wonder glowed bright red behind the barrier it was protected in. The blood of a powerful sorceress was needed to take it down.
Doom could have easily taken Amy's or Willow's blood, but he wanted the blood taking down this barrier to be special, and he had just the right one.
After Strange had sent Morgan Le Fay into the Dark Dimension, she had found herself at different spots in time due to the fact that Space and Time worked differently in the Dark Dimension. He had gotten her out and she had been the one to train him in magic until he had surpassed even her, and they had even become lovers for a small time.
However, Doom's dream was more important than even her. So he had taken her blood, almost killing her, but then used his power to heal her too, and then locked her back in the Dark Dimension.
Taking out the blood of her which he still had, Doom splashed it over the barrier while chanting. The barrier glowed and then faded, leaving the Seed exposed.
Doom moved to it when he sensed a presence behind him.
"Stephen Strange", Doom said, turning around to see Strange standing there. "Come to stop me?"
"That is quite the specimen you created", Strange said. "Has both Hulk and Kryptonian in it."
"Skaar isn't a specimen. Skaar is the perfect creation", Doom said to Strange. "Years ago when Dr. Banner was on the run from the government, he cut his finger on a bottle and it dropped into the soda of a bottle they were manufacturing. The blood was used to track him down. Once they had, the blood sample disappeared, because I had taken it."
"And the Kryptonian in it I'm guessing came from Clark when you captured him after the Demon possessing him left a few months ago", Strange snarled and Doom nodded.
"Yes, I took some of his blood when he was my prisoner in the red sun cell", Doom said. "And now the fruits of my labor are here."
"The fruits can be devastating, Victor Von Doom", Strange warned.
"Of course you would know, Stephen Vincent Strange", Doom simply said with folded arms.
The ex-surgeon narrowed his eyes. "That's Doctor Stephen Vincent Strange."
"And that's King Victor Von Doom. Remember that, or I'll carve it on your gravestone."
"I'm not here to trade titles and threats. I've come to bargain."
"I know of your bargains, Doctor Strange. The other party are never left happy."
"They've worked out for me." Strange quipped.
"But now you deal with Doom, and he demands a heavy price."
Doom then snapped his fingers.
As Amy made to fire a blast at Willow, she suddenly screamed. "No! NOOOOOOOOOO!"
And then a dark power covered her before she exploded into bits as Willow covered her face with her hand to prevent any of them from coming on her.
"What the hell?" Willow said in horror. While she hated Amy, even she didn't deserve to die that brutally.
Strange sensed what Doom had done when an enchanted mist also wrapped itself around the Eye of Agamotto. The Time Stone couldn't be affected by whatever Doom did, but the Eye had been, as Strange felt his connection to it weaken a little. But he wasn't going to give up.
"What will it take for you to leave the other Universes be?" Strange asked.
"What I want, you can't give me. I only ever desired one thing: the survival of my world."
"By destroying Universes."
"I've had plenty of practice," Doom shrugged. "What's one more?"
That was when Doom turned, firing a blast as Strange fired one of his own at Doom. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Doom's blast of Dark Magic hit the Seed, slowly covering it as it had veins of darkness around it, and then there was a shockwave as both the Sorcerers staggered back.
Strange's eyes widened when he saw the Seed was no longer there.
"No", he fell to his knees. "No!"
"And now this world shall end, while the Senior Partners will regret dealing with me", Doom said as he opened a portal of his own with Dark Magic and walked into it, closing it.
Willow was flying when she suddenly lost control and fell to the ground, groaning, and thankful that she hadn't bene hovering too high.
"Willow?" Xander called out, immediately coming next to her. "What's wrong?"
"The magic", Willow said as she looked at Xander with horrified eyes, almost close to tears. "Its…..its gone!"
Wanda had blocked the strike of a Scythe by trapping the scythe between her hands, when she suddenly felt herself weaken, to her horror, as she realized her Slayer powers were gone. The Scythe, now stronger, tossed her away as she crashed to the ground and it raised its scythe to kill her, but she managed to blast it away before it could.
Natasha kicked a feline in a spin motion but to her horror, it was unaffected this time as she felt herself weaken too. The feline snarled but she quickly shot it in the head before it could attack her.
Jenson had staggered a blue fang back with a kick and kicked it again but this time, it was unaffected, to her horror as she backed off, feeling herself weaken too. It leapt at her but she came to her senses and shot it down before it could hit her.
Lois and Chloe too felt their powers go as a Marionette came upon them, but Chloe managed to destroy it with a shot, fortunately.
Molly fell to her knees, feeling herself weaken and go normal again as a feline leapt at her but Gert saw it and telepathically called out to Old Lace, who leapt at the feline instead and ripped it to pieces while she ran to Molly. "Molly! Molly!"
"It's gone!" Molly said to Gert, looking like she was gonna cry. "My powers!"
Gert gave her a hug to comfort her.
Lena was cornered by a Scythe, her powers now gone, when Merlin hit it with a powerful blast, disintegrating it before wrapping an arm around Lena.
"My powers are gone", Lena said.
"I know", Merlin sighed.
Killer Frost was now pinned down by a blue fang, not having the strength to overpower it now, and it was about to bite her before she froze it with her powers, taking it down.
Sara stabbed a feline from behind after having narrowly avoided it. Her original plan had been to just kick its jaw and break it, but with her strength gone, that wasn't gonna work out well.
Kitty narrowly ducked to avoid a swing by a Scythe, having sensed her powers go in time, and then turned intangible, running through the Scythe and to the other side to avoid it.
A feline leapt at Bobbi but she held out her staves in the front, shocking it as it fell down while she sighed, feeling weak and normal again.
Storm was still in the air, having felt her Slayer powers leave, and sighed due to feeling weaker again, but still fired a blast of lightning at Skaar, sending it back as it snarled.
Patty was backing off as a blue fang moved at her, her powers now gone, when a gunshot hit the thing on the head and it died, as Patty turned to see Kate lowering her gun, and nodded in appreciation as Kate nodded back.
Buffy managed to slice down a feline as Faith ran her sword through a Blue Fang, and Elektra also sliced down a Marionette.
"We still have our powers", Buffy noted.
"Willow didn't activate us", Faith pointed out.
"Yeah", Elektra agreed.
Unfortunately, counting out Buffy, Faith and Elektra though, every Slayer had lost their powers now, and while they still had their skills, with their normal stats and weaponry, the Demons started getting the upper hand on them now, killing many as Buffy looked around in horror, remembering the Battle of the Hellmouth. And this time, they were powerless.
Skaar crashed away by many feet after a combined assault by Thor, Kal, Kara, Steve, Aragorn, Storm, Blaze, Reyes, Hulk and Etrigan. Then a portal opened underneath him and he fell into it.
"Fall back!" Aragorn ordered on seeing the now depowered Slayers being killed.
"Lois! Chloe!" Kal muttered in horror as he flew off to the battlefield to save them and others before anything bad could happen to them.
"Pull back now!" Steve yelled at the top of his voice too when all of the Demons they were battling were also pulled into a giant portal that opened, and it closed after all of them were in.
Everyone looked around at the dead depowered Slayers as Buffy ordered. "Check on them! Find out the wounded! Quickly!"
"On it. B", Bart said as he sped around, trying to check on them all, and so did Barry and Pietro.
"Wanda, you okay?" Parker asked her as he walked to her.
Wanda sighed, then nodded. "I think I should be, but I feel like a part of me is gone, which is weird since I got my powers just some time ago."
"Buffy?"
Buffy turned to see Dawn staggering to her, looking like she was in pain, tears in her eyes.
"Dawnie?" Buffy asked in shock, running up to her as the two hugged, not wanting to let go.
"Buffy, I'm not feeling so good", Dawn said to her, as Parker felt his heart race up, reminded of his own death due to the Snap, and then felt a chill for a second as well.
"Dawn, it's gonna be okay! I'm here for you, all right? I'm here", Buffy said, hugging Dawn and kissing her forehead when suddenly Dawn started fading in a green light.
"Buffy?!" Dawn called out again in a choked up voice before she faded completely into a green light.
"Dawnie!?" Buffy said again, her voice coming out as a hoarse whisper, with Willow, Xander, Giles, Faith, Spike and Angel looking horrified and heartbroken too.
Buffy fell to her knees, numb in pain, as Willow hugged Xander, who tried to comfort her, but had tears in his eye as well.
Spike and Angel shared a sad look while Giles walked to Buffy, putting a hand on her shoulder for comfort, and she didn't protest, while Faith kneeled next to her, wrapping her arm around Buffy, trying to provide what little comfort she could.
Alex had known Dawn for a short time, but he did like her, and he knew they had something going on there. Seeing her fade was as heartbreaking as his mom dying, if not worse. Taking off his glasses, he wiped his eyes too.
They had lost. Badly!
And the Seed is gone *groans* Sorry about that ending. So now Willow and any other magic user in Buffyverse is depowered, while the Slayers other than Buffy, Faith and Elektra have lost their powers, and Dawn has faded, since she was created from the mystical Key energy via magic too. In the comics, everyone was losing their memories of her and she was slowly dying, but I had her fade here to make it quick and horrifying. Sorry once more.
Now onto lighter matters, I was originally going to have Spike kill Warren, simply because we never got his reaction to Tara's death, but I decided a misogynistic rapist like him needed to be killed by a badass woman (evil or not evil doesn't matter), so in the show it was Dark Willow, and here it was Illyria. What's more painful though? Being skinned alive in an instant or having your spine ripped out? IDK!
And yes! I will use Thor for DBZ references, it's just tempting, and fun. Don't kill me! Plus, I find the line in-character for Thor. Not saying he's arrogant or anything because he's not, but he can say stuff like that as a battle tactic.
Skaar is Hulk's son in the comics but here I had him created as a clone with Kryptonian abilities too, to give our Heroes someone physical to contend with.
Doom had told Earth-10005 Lindsey in Chapter 1 of my previous story that he would come for the Senior Partners once he was done with the X-Men, and now he has fulfilled that, by preventing them from entering Earth-92 due to destroying the Seed.
Anyway, hope everyone enjoyed (or not, because of the ending) and see you all next time with another chapter. Stay safe from the coronavirus ya all!
