Thank you to everyone who has favorited, followed or reviewed this fic so far.

Thanks a lot to Brainstorm Sorcerer for his help again.

Now this chapter begins an arc in the story I really wanted to do. Let's do it.

Chapter 8- Seeing double

Strange along with Steve, Tony, Peter, Matt, Faith, Buffy, Willow, Tara, Angel, Cordelia, Spike, Giles, Dawn, Wesley and Lilah accompanied Wong to the Orb of Agamotto.

Thor and Hercules had both gone out again to protect people from any disasters, with the SHIELD Team going off to evacuate people as well, as a way of coping with Daisy's loss.

They noticed the Orb was focused on England, but steadily moving, tracking Camelot.

"Since Camelot was raised, we have concentrated on tracking Apocalypse. It seems he is content with remaining in the fortress."

"That was actually Camelot?" Tony ended up asking in surprise more than anything. "Where the hell is Arthur and his knights when you need him? I'll even take Morgana if we must."

"Wong, you wouldn't bother telling me this unless something is wrong."

"There is, Stephen." Wong waved his hand on the Orb, and several "cracks" started appearing on it. "Apocalypse started a spell that would drain not only the magic of this world, but throughout the Universe, every ounce of ambient energy would flow into him. Yet, it was stopped, by your efforts, and making our situation all the more dangerous."

"Wait, drain natural magic?" Willow asked and got nods. "That means….."

"We'll lose most of our powers", Tara realized, looking at her hands with a shudder.

"And I…." Dawn trailed off as Peter held her hand, trying to offer some comfort.

"You won't", he shook his head. "You won't."

"We won't let you", Buffy nodded firmly as Willow and Tara exchanged a look, more concerned about Dawn than their powers.

"This just went from a 1000 to 10,000", Cordelia sighed while folding her arms.

"What do the cracks mean?" Angel inquired.

"They are tears into other Universes." Jaws dropped and confused expressions from all.

"You mean…like….another bloody one like ours?" Spike asked and got a nod.

"And there are many more of the sort?" Wesley asked, getting another nod in the process.

"Apocalypse's spell would not have ended in our reality; it would spread throughout the Multiverse."

"A concept about which we know frighteningly little."

"Well, what we do know is there can be different Earths, one where Nazis won World War II, and one where we're all evil", Tony tried to bring the scientific side of the conversation. "And…that's all I got for now."

"The spell would have started not only on Earth, but it managed to affect ALL Earths. When the spell was interrupted, it caused a ripple effect, and those ripples made tears, and those tears are openings." Strange explained to them.

"We'll we be getting visitors." Wong noted.

"Friend or foe, I do not know. I can however theorize that those in closest proximity to the epicentre of the spell are most likely going to be seeing double. That's the best-case scenario."

"There's a worse one?" Faith asked in dread.

"Magic is often temperamental when mishandled. We have the God of Thunder, the Sorcerer Supreme, the Time Stone, and the Spawn of Mephisto all in one room with a legendary Master of Magic, a Nexus Being to boot, if the chronicle speaks the truth, and it does."

"For the uneducated students in the tour, Nexus Being means…?" Peter raised a hand, wanting to get an explanation for the whole thing.

"Merlyn was a vocal point in the universe, connected to the alternate realities, alternate Universes. His fall to evil made everyone at the time quiver in fear at the implications, and now, we are seeing them. With the union of power in that room when the spell was halted, the aftereffects could be catastrophic."

"As if Earth didn't have enough problems at the moment." Matt sighed with an angry scoff, angry and concerned over the whole thing.

"We need to contain this. Find these cracks, seal them up. If we can't and people are already coming through…just pray they're friendly."

"What about big blue?" Lilah inquired, as he was still the biggest problem. These other visitors could be threats, but Apocalypse, who was bringing in this final apocalypse, was still the greatest threat to them in this whole situation.

"He will have nothing to worry about. His Horsemen carry his will and power, and with each passing second, Apocalypse absorbs the magic of this world. Soon, the world's users of natural magic will be powerless, and that is just the start."

"I don't want to know the rest, it won't happen."

"I admire your optimism, Captain Rogers, but now is not the time for speeches."

"Your right, we need to get moving."

"I'll coordinate with Wong, try and hamper Apocalypse's spell and fix the tears. When you find the visitors from other worlds," Strange summoned some Iron Man gauntlets from Tony's suit, then ran his hands over as Eldritch symbols glowed, and they multiplied.

"What did you just do?" Tony inquired.

"This", Strange fired from the gauntlet at Tony and he disappeared.

"What the….." Faith trailed off as next moment they were in another room, a basement to be accurate, with various glass prisons, and Tony was now in one of them.

"Hey, this isn't funny! Let me out Sherlock!"

"Sure Sherlock", Strange shrugged as he let Tony out by turning an ancient dial, the cell disappearing with Tony walking out.

"You do that to me one more time-"

"And what?"

"I'll invite you to be the magician at my daughter's birthday party."

"Not interested", Strange shrugged as he gave the gauntlets back to Tony, and also handed them to Steve, Peter, Matt, Faith and the rest, though in Peter's case it was his web-shooters. "Use these. They'll transport them to the cells in the basement of the Sanctums."

"Got it", Steve nodded. "Now for the Horsemen, let's figure out who they are as well."

"Well, Electro I know, looked him up, Max Dillon, junior electrical engineer assistant at Essex but then fell into a vat with electric eels and got electricity powers", Peter told them what he knew, so now they had info about one of them.

"Okay, that's one and….." Tony trailed off. "Who are the rest?"

"Ethan Rayne, he was once a friend of mine, we used to tamper with the dark magicks", Giles informed everyone. "But then I stopped, he did not. We even used to summon Eyeghon."

"Are you lot insane?" Strange asked incredulously.

"Not so bright teenagers", Giles defended himself.

"Monsters like that are not to be summoned lightly", Wong warned grimly.

"Ethan loved causing messes. One Halloween he gave us all magical costumes that turned us into what we wore", Buffy said, groaning as she remembered that bit.

"Well, good thing I was the Pink Ranger", Dawn smirked, shooting Spike a look as he groaned too.

"I try not to remember that", Spike muttered.

"Think I know why", Angel snickered.

"Oh really? Want me to tell what happened to you?"

Angel stopped laughing.

"Good thing I didn't buy from his store", Cordelia commented.

"And there was the time he gave band candy to adults which regressed them to their teenage selves", Willow reminded, and Buffy and Giles both groaned again due to remembering Giles and Joyce making out.

"Then when he turned me into a Fyarl Demon", Giles sighed.

"So the man basically enjoys causing chaos", Wesley noted, then shrugged. "Not that we didn't already know from his speeches."

"From that to Apocalypse, what an upgrade", Lilah scoffed.

"That's two, what about the other two?" Steve asked.

"The Vampire thing, Ethan called him Morbius", Buffy remembered. "Does anyone know a person with that name?"

"Wait", Tony looked up, displaying a hologram of a 'Michael Morbius'. "This guy was a genius biochemist but had a rare blood disease. Heard he was trying to make a cure."

"Maybe the cure did this to him, we all know what that kind of stuff can do", Peter said with a wince.

"So, a Living Vampire, damn!" Angel muttered.

"Yeah, never thought I'd see the day", Faith shook her head.

"A guy who controls electricity, a Living Vampire, and Ethan Rayne", Buffy listed on her fingers. "That makes 3 Horsemen."

"And 4th time's a charm", Spike quipped. "Who's the 4th one?"

"Who would make a Demon cyborg?" Matt asked no one in particular, but that got the gears moving in the Scoobies' heads, especially Buffy's who reached the conclusion first, her eyes widening in horror.

"It can't be", she said.

"What can't be?" Steve inquired.

"Well, remember the Initiative?" Buffy asked and Steve nodded. "They made a human/machine/Demon cyborg and named him Adam."

"After the first Man?" Matt asked, since he'd done it to his own Adam too.

"No idea why, but he was powerful", Buffy told them all. "And intelligent too due to his data."

"Boring wanker though", Spike scoffed. "Really didn't like hanging around him. Only did because I was evil with a chip."

"We had to combine our essences to beat him then", Willow remembered, then groaned. "And now even….that won't work?"

"Well damn!" Giles snapped.

"That makes four", Strange nodded. "Well, they are not doing anything for now, but if they do, we will let you know."

"For now, we are going to try to contain the tears", Wong told all the others who were gathered. "You all find these visitors."

Strange then opened a portal as he and Wong were off.

"Great, just great, not only the Apocalypse but unwanted visitors", Tony groaned. "Who's up for it?"

"Not up for it but what can you do?" Lilah scoffed.

"Those who are helping with the disasters, let them carry on", Steve told them. "We will try to find these visitors, make plans on how to deal with Apocalypse, and tend to the injured."

"Some of them could help out here", Tara suggested and Steve gave a nod.

"Agreed, we're spread really thin, but let's do it."

Avengers Tower

A while later, all were working to try and track down these disturbances.

"Anything?" Steve asked as Peter, Willow and Tony worked on separate computers using AI, with Cordelia and Dawn helping a little.

"Looking Cap", Tony said. "It takes time, and-"

There were some beeps.

"Think we got some hits", Dawn realized.

"Please, share with the class", Logan offered.

"Well", Peter spoke up first for them all to hear. "There's some weird bald guy who appeared out of nowhere, and is causing havoc, with some woman in a weird suit."

"Could be someone", Steve nodded. "And?"

"Some big creatures in a forest region outside", Tony noted. "Can't get a clear read due to fluctuating energy though."

"All right, that's two, and?" Bruce inquired.

"Some sort of scarred guy ranting crazily somewhere", Cordelia noted. "Here, so we got that too."

"Got it", Frank nodded.

"Then we have some flying guy", Willow narrowed her eyes. "With a pale face, over here. And others like him."

"Well then", Buffy cracked her neck a little.

"And some guy with tentacles on the bridge", Peter narrowed his eyes at that.

"Then we got some guy with magic fireballs over here", Dawn pointed. "Near the pale flying guys."

"Some guy behaving like an animal causing a ruckus in the suburbs", Cordelia titled her head. "And also some muscular guy harassing people at the same area as the scarred one. All of these are reported to have appeared out of nowhere."

"Well, those are too many", Angel noted.

"And we're bloody spread thin", Spike scoffed.

"Some plant-like creature too, as big as Hulk", Tony noted with a sigh. "Think that's all we got for now."

"All right then, let's all split up, and get them, what do you say?" Steve asked and got nods. "Good, now-"

Matt and Faith were swinging on rooftops using Matt's Billy Club as the latter said. "I wonder what we would find there."

"Hopefully nothing we can't handle", Matt told her as they stopped, and then Faith looked ahead on top of a building, where there was a bald man in a trench coat, a target drawn on his head, standing over a wounded woman in a suit.

"You're good baby, I'll give you that", the man said before suddenly producing a card from his sleeve. "But I'm magic."

He threw the card and at that moment, Matt threw his Billy club, hitting the card and deflecting it before running and catching his club while flipping in the air and landing on the same building as the man and the wounded woman, Faith jumping and landing next to him.

"What the….?" The man looked around. "You were….and your suit-"

"Looking for me?"

The man turned around, and Faith's jaw dropped on seeing someone else in a Daredevil suit, and this guy was at least 6 feet tall. His suit was made of red leather, the suit was designed to resemble the Devil, complete with horns on the cowl helmet.

It also came with a red belt and a red zipper. The insignia retained the DD logo on Daredevil's chest. He also had a billy club holster on the right leg.

"You…" the man snarled.

"Bullseye", the other Daredevil cracked his neck before sensing the woman nearby, Matt sensing his heart beating faster. "Elektra…"

Matt couldn't believe it as Faith looked down at the wounded woman, then at the other Daredevil.

"What is going on?" The man wondered. "How is-"

The other Daredevil suddenly ran and flipped in the air, kicking Bullseye on the chin as he was sent flying off and crashing to the ground.

He got up and threw shurikens at all three. Matt deflected with his club as Faith caught it in her hand and crushed it, with the other Daredevil flipping to avoid it.

Bullseye threw a few more, with all three deflecting as the other Daredevil now had shurikens stuck to his club, and he threw it at Bullseye's head where the target was, making him stagger back.

Matt then ran to him and grabbing his head between his feet, flipped him to the ground, making him cry in pain.

Bullseye tried to throw a card but Faith stomped on his hand, making him cry out in pain, then fired a repulsor, and he disappeared.

"What?" The other Daredevil asked. "Where did he go?"

"Somewhere he won't hurt people again", Matt assured before tilting his head. "You're Daredevil?"

"Yes, I am, and you…" he trailed off before turning to Elektra, kneeling to her and holding her face. "Elektra…oh my God, its really you."

"Matthew?" Elektra touched his face lovingly, caressing it. "You seem different."

She looked between the two Daredevils. "Am I dying? Because there are two of you now."

"No, you're not dying, I got you", the other Daredevil hugged Elektra, letting out some tears. "I got you." He looked up at Matt and Faith. "What's going on? I…I sensed a change around me, something ripping apart, and now…..the world has a completely different frequency. How did that happen?"

Faith told him. "You're in a different Universe now."

"What?" Elektra was dumbfounded. "A different-"

"Yes, the dimensions between Universes are breaking and you are ending up in our Universes, from any point of your timeline, based on what Strange said, God I'm getting a headache", Matt shook his head. "You're in our Universe."

"And in this one, you're Matt and Elektra?" The other Daredevil inquired.

"Nope, name's Faith", Faith told the guy.

"Elektra is…gone", Matt said sadly, as even if he'd found happiness with Faith, Elektra was a sore spot always.

"You must have been transported here before your….." The other Daredevil held Elektra's face, and she realized what he meant.

"So I died?" He nodded. "And now you are from-"

"Years in the future, but now I got you, I'm not letting go", the other Daredevil hugged his Elektra. "I'm not, never."

"Think we should get her to medical", Faith pointed out as the other Daredevil looked up at her. "Then we can talk."

Frank Castle was now where they had said the scarred guy would be, as he looked around, gun raised, then heard gunshots go off and ran into the alley, seeing a scarred man having killed some people.

"What the fuck? Where the fuck am I?"

"Russo?" Frank called out, seeing the scars on his face, which were like that of Billy Russo, but amplified so they looked much worse.

Unlike Russo who'd started looking ruggedly handsome in a way, this guy looked completely ugly with those scars on him.

"The name's Russoti", the guy replied with a sneer.

"Oh, great", Frank scoffed as both fired at each other, then rolled away to avoid as they tried to fire again, but neither could hit the other.

"You have the vest! What are you? Some lackey or fanboy?" Russoti asked as he tried to fire again but missed due to Frank rolling behind a dustbin.

"Nope, the real deal, shit-face", Frank sneered as he got up, gun raised, only for a giant muscular Russian man to grab his wrist and twist, making Frank grit his teeth and drop the gun as the Russian headbutted him, making the back of his head hit the wall as Frank fell down.

Before Frank could react, the Russian lifted him up by the throat and threw him to the other side, making him hit the wall as he fell down again, gasping in pain.

Russoti took his chance and aimed to kill Frank, only for another gunshot to hit his hand, disarming him, and he turned to see another guy in a trench coat with the skull vest.

Frank looked up at him too, and this one looked exactly like Johnny Blaze.

The Blaze-Frank raised his gun again but Russoti rammed into him, sending him down as the gun dropped, and decked his face twice. "How are there so many of you?"

Blaze-Frank blocked the third time and head-butted him, sending him back while getting up, looking at the Russian. "You! Didn't I kill you?"

As Russian turned to him, he was suddenly decked on the face by a large, muscular and intimidating guy. This one too had a skull vest, and outside of the Russian, he was the tallest man present in the alley.

He saw Russoti too. "And how the fuck are you alive?"

Large Frank then ducked to avoid Russian's swing and decked his face twice before head-butting him, before being grabbed by the throat and slammed into the wall.

Blaze-Frank ducked to avoid a swing from Russoti, getting behind him, and kicked him down. As he tried to get up, Blaze-Frank grabbed him by the back of the collar and slammed his face into the wall twice, drawing blood.

Large Frank kneed the Russian in the gut twice and decked his face, before Frank grabbed him from behind in a chokehold, clawing his face with his fingernails.

As the Russian sneered, Large Frank grabbed his throat, then decked hard, making him cough before both Franks together pushed him down.

Frank would have killed them, but based on how his doppelgangers talked, it was obvious they'd died in their timelines either way, so best to let it play like that.

Aiming the repulsors, he fired at both the Russian and Russoti, and they disappeared as Blaze-Frank asked. "What just happened?"

"And why are you two wearing my vest?" Large Frank inquired before asking. "And how the fuck is Russoti still alive?"

"I know you two want an explanation, come with me, I'll tell you", Frank told his two doppelgangers, already liking both of them.

Steve and Tony landed in the forest region, with Tony putting Bruce down as they looked around.

Tony quipped. "You would think a big green guy duking it out or just breaking things up would be hard to miss."

That was when a large, 15 feet green creature fell near them and they jumped out of the way to avoid. And their eyes widened on realizing who it was.

"That's…" Bruce pointed at him. "Me! Its Hulk!"

Tony started. "And who thre-"

Electricity went off nearby and they turned to see a being seeming to be made of electricity standing there.

"I think that's our other guy", Tony pointed at it as he flew in the air and fired at it, only it absorbed the energy. "Well damn!"

It leapt and punched him with a forest-y fist punch, sending him flying off as the energy from the repulsor was redirected and launched into him too. "SHIIIIIIIIIT!"

Bruce snarled and turned into Hulk at that very moment, the electricity guy now looking at both Hulks in confusion, and the larger Hulk was confused too as he got up, looking at the smaller Hulk with curiosity.

"HULK SMASH!" Hulk hit the ground with both fists, sending a shockwave as the electricity guy was sent up into the air, and he then leapt at it, slamming it to the ground and punching him repeatedly.

As he made to punch again, the guy managed to punch him away too, and got up, only for the larger Hulk to ram into him. "TAKE IT ALL!"

He lifted up the electricity guy and tossed him away into a corner, then lunged at him but the guy got behind and kicked him before hitting him with more electricity, sending him down.

Steve twirled Mjolnir and threw his shield, hitting the guy and sending him off before catching his shield, then lunged but the guy charged and punched Steve on the face before he could raise his shield, sending him flying off and falling down to the ground…..near something!

Steve saw a large green hand, and stood up to see another Hulk lying on the ground. This one was closer in size to a normal human, and he seemed to be wounded badly, barely conscious.

"Oh no!" Steve gasped before turning to see Tony and the 2 Hulks rushing to fight the electricity guy once more.

Buffy, Willow, Tara, Dawn, Angel and Spike reached the area and saw people running from levitating pale creatures.

"What are they?" Angel asked no one in particular.

"They're Vampires", Tara said as they turned to her in shock. "From a different Universe."

"Damn! They can fly!" Spike quipped.

One of them, the main one, looked down at the group and asked. "Are you here to challenge me?"

"Well", Buffy quipped, brandishing a stake. "I'm Buffy, the Vampire Slayer, so yeah."

The Vampire tilted his head curiously. "You're not Buffy."

"What are you talking about?" Buffy asked in surprise. "I am-" She paused as it hit her. "I'm not your Buffy."

"Who are you?" Willow asked, preparing magic.

"You can call me Lothos", the Vampire revealed with a smirk as all of them got down to the ground.

"Lothos?" Buffy asked, then glared. "Oh you-"

Before Willow could fire magic, a magic shockwave from nearby sent them all falling down and they got up to see a blonde, young man fall down, groaning.

"Bloody hell!" He stood up, speaking in an English accent. "That really and truly hurt!"

Another young man stepped out from the shadows, his hair long. "Well stop stealing my things then."

"But it is so much fun", the blonde one laughed as they fired blasts of magic at each other.

"Attack!" Lothos yelled and his Vampires started attacking.

"Fighting a crowd of Vampires, it's starting to get boring at this point", Dawn sighed and they began fighting.

Peter swung on the bridge, landing on top of a car, as there was a traffic jam right now. "So, where are you, huh?"

Then his spider-sense tingled. He jumped on top of the car in the front, and spotted people running away. He turned to one of them and inquired. "Why are you running? What-"

Up ahead, there was a CRASH! Patches of the highway crumbled in a cloud of asphalt and dust. Peter looked to the front in horror and gasped. "Oh my God..." He knocked on the roof of the car, warning the one inside. "Uh, Ma'am, you should, uh... you should get out of the car." And then he called out to all people on the bridge. "Everybody get off the bridge!"

A driver got out of his taxi as the woman tried to get out too but the door was locked, unfortunately. "The door's locked. Doors- Hey!"

CRASH!

SLAM!

BOOM!

Something was piercing its way through the High Bridge roadway. Something with four giant metal tentacles.

The dust cleared to reveal a middle-aged man in a coat, wearing glasses, the four tentacles attached to his back. Seeing Peter, he smiled wickedly.

"Hello, Peter."

And there you go, the end of this one as we get various doppelgangers.

First up, we got Daredevil, Elektra and Bullseye from the 2003 Daredevil film starring Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner and Collin Farrell in the roles respectively at the start. Not a good film but I've some uses for those versions here.

Then we got Thomas Jane's Punisher from the 2004 film, and I also imagine Thomas Jane as MCU Johnny Blaze in this series, hence Blaze-Frank, and then Ray Stevenson's Frank Castle from Punisher: War Zone, who was Large Frank.

The 2 villains were Russoti aka Jigsaw from War Zone and the Russian from the 2004 film.

After that we had Bruce/Hulk from the 2003 film, meaning Eric Bana version, and the guy he fought was the Absorbing Man aka David Banner from that film.

And the wounded Bruce/Hulk that Steve found was the Bill Bixby (RIP)/Lou Ferrigno version from 'The Incredible Hulk' TV Series that aired from 1977 to 1982, and the last episode was some TV movie where he seemingly died, and they couldn't continue it due to Bixby's unfortunate and tragic passing. But he's here now.

Lothos is from the 1992 Buffy film starring Kristy Swanson, and there is a comic book series called 'The Origin' which is canon to Buffyverse, and it tells the origin story of Sarah Michelle Gellar's Buffy by adapting the film and modifying its story to fit Buffyverse canon. But anyway, this Lothos is from that film, and so are the other levitating Vamps, since they could do that.

The blonde British guy and his long-haired opponent are original doppelgangers of Buffyverse characters, and I'll tell in next chapter who.

The last one's obvious, Alfred Molina's Doctor Octopus from the Raimi Spider-Man Trilogy.

More doppelgangers shall show up soon, from the Buffyverse side I'm mostly making original doppelgangers, though some canonical ones will come too, and from the Marvel side, just wait and watch.

Hope all enjoyed and see you all next time with another chapter.
