Chapter 89.

Hey everyone. Back with another chapter.

First off, I wrote another scene at the end of the previous chapter, so you need to read it before you read this chapter.

Next, I have gone back and edited Chapter 87 and added MCU Namor, Squirrel Girl and the Fantastic Four to the conflict.

Also, Ray Terrell will be called Ray and Ray Palmer will be called Atom.

This chapter will cover the Battle of Wakanda and the Battle of Titan, and it will be very long, so please bear with me.

Also, and this will apply to any major battles in this series: I will only be covering the major characters in this fight. So any characters that don't have that much screen time are busy fighting off-screen.

For castings of the Fantastic Four:

John Krasinski as Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic.

Emily Blunt as Susan Storm/Invisible Woman.

Zac Efron as Johnny Storm/Human Torch.

Ron Pearlman as Ben Grimm/The Thing.

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

Disclaimer: I don't own any characters and elements you see in this fic. I only own Jason Stark and any other OC's and worlds you see in this fic.

On with the show.

No One's POV.

A few hours ago.

Bilbo Baggins was sitting in his chair, dozing as all the other heroes and armies prepared to go fight.

As he sat, a flash of green light appeared and a man in his late forties, his beard starting to go grey, emerged.

Bilbo looked at the man blankly.

"Bilbo Baggins. My name is Jim Corrigan. You are needed to help win this war, and your aid will also be needed in dealing with much bigger threats in the future" Corrigan said.

Bilbo said nothing and continued staring at him.

"This will help" Corrigan said.

He thrust out his hand and a green glyph appeared.

The glyph released an unearthly hum as he commanded it to rotate.

Bilbo's bald spot disappeared as hair returned to his head.

Life returned to Bilbo's eyes as the cloud of dementia lifted from his mind.

Years became decades as Corrigan increased the strength of the spell.

When the spell ended, Bilbo again resembled the friend that Jason, Detective, Deathstroke and Donna met in Bag End all those years ago.

Bilbo jumped up and looked at Corrigan.

"Thank you" Bilbo nodded.

"You welcome Bilbo. You know what you must do though" Corrigan replied, having shown Bilbo what had happened so far.

"I do" Bilbo nodded.

"Go to Jason Stark, and tell him that Jim Corrigan did this" the Spectre revealed.

"I will" Bilbo nodded.

"Oh and one more thing. You will need this" Corrigan held out his hand, revealing a white, glowing gem.

"What is this?" Bilbo asked.

"This is True Ice. It will aid you soon, and cannot be melted" Corrigan revealed.

"Good luck" Corrigan then said and vanished into a portal.

With determination in his eyes, Bilbo exited the room, ready to head out to battle.

Now.

The heroes and all the troops moved towards the Wakandan battlefield on devices called Antigravity Transports. They were like hovercrafts in a way.

The peoples of Middle-Earth and Westeros were amazed by the technology, finding it beyond even the best of inventions in there worlds.

Rebecca, Kara, Sam, Beck, Takio, Johnny Storm, Brian, Firestorm, Atom, Rhodes, Ray, J'onn, Ultron and Zari flew in the air after them.

The Hobbits had all been given Wakandan short-swords while Frodo, Bilbo and Sam also wore the Golden Tribe battle tunics.

Merry and Pippin had decided to wear Rohirim armour.

As Eowyn had not brought any armour, she had been outfitted in Dora Milaje armour, which she had found instantly likable.

Barry had been given a Wakandan sword which he could use to hew enemies in conjunction with his speed.

"You sure you know how to use one?" Clint asked him via comms.

"Not really." He said as he looked at Oliver, "Except a few basics Oliver taught me."

Oliver smirked and said, "You'll do fine."

Jason had also brought his Elvish sword Anguriel to the fight.

"Don't forget the contest." Clint said via comms and all five participants chuckled.

"Funny Jason, last time we were on the frontlines as well" Sansa said to Jason.

"Yes my friend" Jason replied.

Sansa smiled and wrapped her arm around her mentor's waist.

"How we looking, Bruce?" Natasha asked Banner.

Banner was unable to turn into Hulk so now he was wearing the Iron Man Armour: Mark XLVIII, also known as Hulkbuster 2.0.

"Yeah, I think." Banner replied happily as he ran around wearing it, "I'm getting the hang of it. Wow! This is amazing, man. It's like being the Hulk without actually..."

He tripped on a rock and fell down as Okoye gave him a look.

Banner got back up, cleaning his visor, "I'm okay. I'm okay."

"I've got three heat signatures breaking through the tree line." Rhodes noted and the atmosphere immediately turned grim.

Kara noticed who they were, "Some giant alien guy, a blue alien woman, a man in a black business suit and an old man with a stick."

"They must be Saruman, Peter Pan and part of Thanos' Black Order." J'onn added.

"Cull Obsidian and Proxima Midnight." Lady Galadriel identified them.

She wore her Elven cuirass and also carried a lance to battle this time as she knew she would be in the thick of fighting.

"Midnight is the one who escaped us, yes?" Elrond asked and she nodded.

"Then the other one's missing." Jason realized.

Steve's question was towards the two telepaths of the group out in the open, "Can either of you two find out where he is?"

J'onn tried but failed.

"No." he replied, "Something's blocking me."

"It's the Dark Lord." Lady Galadriel said grimly, "His prowess of the mind is preventing us from finding out what their intentions are."

The drop ships had all finished dropping outside the barrier now. The stream of fire had also stopped for the moment.

The hover ships all stopped and everyone landed at their destinations at last. Cull Obsidian and Proxima Midnight stood at the end of the barrier.

The Dunlendings, Dorthraki and most of the Dwarves had departed to the frontlines early. And now they had found kindred spirits in the Jabari.

M'Baku, Ghan, Thorin, Khal Drogo and Dwalin all stood at the front of the combined ranks of Jabari, Dunlendings, Dorthraki and Dwarves.

T'Challa shook hands with M'Baku gratefully, "Thank you for standing with us."

"Of course, brother." M'Baku replied in Xhosa.

M'Baku nodded as Dwalin said, "We will slaughter these evil creatures together."

M'Baku and the Jabari released their chant in agreement as Thorin, Drogo and Ghan cheered with the Dwarves, Dorthraki and Dunlendings.

"Anyone greeting our friends?" Natasha asked sarcastically.

"Barry, Nat, you're with us." Steve said and the pair nodded in agreement at his orders.

"Rumple, White Canary" Jason added.

Together, Jason, Aragorn, Steve, Oliver, Barry, Rumple, Natasha, T'Challa and Theoden made their way to the edge of the shield.

Theoden was mounted on his horse. Saruman of Many Colours, Cull Obsidian, Peter Pan and Proxima Midnight stood there to talk.

"Where's your other friend?" Natasha asked casually.

"You will pay for his life with yours." Midnight sneered, "Thanos will have that Stone."

"That's not gonna happen." Steve said firmly.

"You all wished to talk I heard." Theoden said before turning to Saruman, "Is it about peace again?"

"It is, Theoden King." Saruman said as all glared at him, "Lord Thanos will offer you mercy if you hand us the Mind Stone and go back home. Then we can have peace."

"We shall have peace when Thanos answers for the murder of Earendil and the theft of the Silmaril." Aragorn said to them, "When they are avenged, we shall have peace."

"Peter Pan. Well I certainly wasn't expecting to see you again" Rumple commented.

"Oh come on son, don't be like that. Aren't you glad to see your dear old father?" Pan asked with a malicious smirk.

"Look, just because you sired me, that doesn't make you my father" Rumple countered, making Pan glare at him.

"You are in Wakanda now." T'Challa said coolly to the four, "Thanos will have nothing but dust and blood."

"We…..have blood to spare." Midnight said, but she heard a low chuckle.

All turned to Jason who was smirking.

"Servants of dark lords, you're all the same. Do you think this is the first time we've fought outnumbered?" Jason challenged the four.

"You've never faced an army like ours" Midnight sneered.

"It's just the latest version of a battle we've long fought" Jason disagreed.

Like Aragorn and Steve, Jason believed that combatants were only as strong as what motivated them.

T'Challa picked up on what Jason was saying.

"Leave now while you still can" T'Challa warned Cull, Pan, Saruman and Midnight.

Midnight said nothing and raised her sword high.

Then one of the dropships grew larger as if it was going to spit something out. The group sensed the fight was about to begin and silently made their way back to their allies.

The Jabari, Dunlendings, Dorthraki and Dwarves stood together while the Gondorians, Men of Westeros, Merry Men and Elves stood with the Dora Milaje and Kingsguard.

The Rohirrim were mounted on their horses on the left of the others.

"They surrender?" Bucky cheekily asked Steve.

"Not exactly." Steve said as he, Jason, Rumple, Natasha, Oliver and Barry stood alongside him, Logan, Frank, Clint, Sara, Caitlin, Roy and Thea.

"Didn't think so." Logan shook his head.

"We can do this, right guys?" Barry asked and they nodded.

"Yeah. And I'm gonna count." Clint said as he, Jason and Oliver chuckled.

"Wanna make any last minute additions?" Frank asked with a gleam in his eye.

"With pleasure." Oliver smirked.

"I'm coming in too" Tommy smirked and Oliver nodded.

"Will you blow the horn, brother?" Faramir asked Boromir.

"Steve would approve for sure." Boromir said as he tapped his comms.

"Yes I approve, Boromir." Steve said with a smile as he tapped his own comms and Boromir put his horn to his lips before blowing as all the Gondorians, Merry Men, Rohirrim, Wakandans, Dunlendings, Dorthraki, Men of Westeros, Dwarves and Elves cheered.

Elektra, Danny, Doreen, Namor, the Fantastic Four and Colleen stood with them as well.

"I don't think we have been in a fight this big before." Danny said.

"No. And definitely not standing alongside Elektra and Harold of all people." Colleen joked and the three laughed.

"I didn't envision this happening either." Elektra said, "But I'm glad it did."

The three nodded.

"We will fight for king and country!" Namor said fiercely, gripping his trident.

Then Midnight raised her sword and several creatures rushed out of the dropships.

"Yibambe!" T'Challa chanted and his troops repeated.

"DEATH!" Theoden screamed with sword raised and his troops repeated.

Aragorn raised his sword and all his troops cheered.

The creatures then came into plain view. They were those Outriders Gandalf had mentioned. Several Orcs, Trolls, Lost Boys and Vampires charged with them too.

"Santa Maria!" Jason muttered in horror.

"The Outriders!" J'onn said from above.

"And the creatures of the Dark Lord." Lady Galadriel added.

All the creatures rushed at the barrier but didn't stop there.

While Orcs and Trolls were disintegrated by it, the Outriders and Vampires started pushing through to the shock of everyone, the Outriders ignoring their burning skins completely.

The Vampires didn't and were screaming in pain but were still charging.

The Lost Boys remained at the back of the army.

"Looks like we pissed her off." Natasha said dryly.

"No shit" Jason said sarcastically.

"They're killing themselves." Okoye said, horrified by how ferocious the Outriders and Vampires were.

"Just like the Uruk-Hai." Boromir grimly added.

T'Challa gave a command and all the Wakandans brandished their energy shields for protection while guns, high-tech guns, bows and arrows were raised. But no one got a chance to use them.

As the Outriders and Vampires charged closer, Kara flew to the ground at full speed and slammed her fist hard; causing a shockwave that sent them all flying back, destroying them all.

Never had the Free Peoples seen someone with that much strength. Even Steve paled in comparison. All of them cheered at her as she smiled in the air, a beacon of hope.

Few more came through but Rebecca, Sam, Rhodes, Atom, Takio, Brian, Firestorm, Johnny Storm, J'onn, Ray, Ultron and Zari were on the shield.

Atom flew around, firing his beams. He then came on the ground and shrunk before punching two while miniature and expanding again, got two more as Zari took some down with her wind blasts.

J'onn formed a telekinetic invisible shield and the Outriders and Vampires were stopped by it before he pushed it at them, killing them.

Brian rammed into several Vampires at super-sonic speed, destroying them.

Rebecca and Takio unleashed a barrage of repulsor blasts at the ground, killing several more while Firestorm and Johnny Storm brutally burnt some more Outriders.

Ray fired his beams from his palms and they incinerated some more Outriders, while Ultron destroyed some more.

Sam fired guided missiles from Redwing, killing more Outriders as he asked, "You see the teeth on those things?"

"Yeah. Don't wanna get caught between those." Brian said dryly.

"All right, back up, all of you." Rhodes said as he flew up to the Outriders while the others backed off. Grenades were ejected from the back of his suit, killing several of the enemies at the barriers again.

But more came rushing. Kara's eyes glowed and she fired her Heat Vision, causing a small blast that destroyed several more.

Then they noticed the foes were all circling the perimeter of the shield to get to the other way.

"They are going the other way!" Legolas called out in warning from where he stood with Gimli and the Dwarves due to their friendship.

"Cap, if these things circle the perimeter and get in behind us...there's nothing between them and Vision." Banner warned him.

"Then we better keep 'em in front of us." Steve said.

"How do we do that?" Okoye asked as T'Challa considered.

"Draw them to us." Aragorn said, remembering how they had done the same for Frodo, Sam and Natasha.

"We open the barrier." T'Challa finally said before tapping his comms, "On my signal, open North-West Section Seventeen."

"Requesting confirmation, My King. You said open the barrier?" The technician asked from the other end.

"On my signal." T'Challa confirmed coolly.

"This will be the end of Wakanda." M'Baku muttered.

"Then it will be the noblest ending in history." Okoye said.

"Let this be the hour when we draw our weapons together against the forces of darkness." Aragorn said and T'Challa nodded with a smile.

"You ready guys?" Jason asked.

"I'm not." Barry replied.

"We'll have to be soon." Caitlin said as Killer Frost finally took over, "Let's get this party started."

"Let's kick there asses" Robin Hood smirked.

"The day of Moon Knight is here" Marc Spector declared.

Steve readied his new shields as T'Challa ordered something in Xhosa and all the soldiers lowered their shields as he stepped forwards.

"WAKANDA FOREVER!"

He then lowered his helmet as the armies of Wakanda, Westeros, Gondor, Rohan, Greenwood, Merry Men and the Lonely Mountain charged as one alongside the heroes.

Barry and Conrad did there best to run at normal speed as Kara also flew slower than normal. As they got closer, T'Challa tapped his comms piece.

"Now!"

The middle of the barrier lowered and now all the Outriders, Orcs, Lost Boys, Trolls and Vampires rushed in.

Kara was there first as she landed in their midst and the shockwave sent many flying off. They tried to attack her but she was unaffected as she punched and kicked several of them away, destroying them.

During this time, Barry had unsheathed his sword and sped past all other defenders, whirling his sword as he chopped off the head of one alien just as Steve and T'Challa leapt there.

T'Challa sliced down several with his claws as Steve used his new shields to gut them.

Then Bucky, Nuke, Logan and Frank joined them, firing at the Outriders, Vampires and Orcs as Bucky also used his metal arm to smack any close to him away.

Logan roared and leapt at an Outrider, killing it with his claws as he fought them all.

Aragorn was almost a blur of movement as he took down Outriders with Anduril, appearing as lordly and gracious as Elendil himself.

Boromir dispatched another Outrider with a stab to the heart itself.

Faramir managed to barely avoid an Outrider and killed it with a stab to the throat.

Arwen was the epitome of Elven grace as she fought for the first time in centuries, Hadhafang soon becoming coated in the blood of Outriders and Orcs as she fought alongside her husband, the two making a magnificent duo as they fought back to back.

Four arrows hit the ground and exploded, throwing several Vampires back as Oliver, Jason, Tommy and Clint arrived and immediately began counting as they used their arrows and skills to take down Orcs or Vampires close by.

"Almost forgot." Frank commented as he started counting too while gunning down Outriders.

Sara and Natasha fought alongside Oliver and Clint.

The former was using Ciris again for the first time since her return from Middle-Earth and it soon tasted the blood of Orcs again.

Natasha used her batons expertly, electrocuting nearby Outriders.

Legolas was in the fray as well, switching between bow and knives as he continued counting while next to him, Gimli hacked at the legs and arms of Outriders, counting as well.

Nate steeled up, protecting himself from any damage and took them down with swift and strong blows as well.

The Hobbits were in the thick of the fighting too and their sizes were their advantages. Not being noticed by the Orcs or Outriders, they stabbed them in vital areas while they fought other opponents.

Beams of ice and fire hit the Outriders and Vampires, stunning them. Killer Frost smirked as she fired more at nearby enemies while Mick continued firing his Heat Gun.

Some of them were lifted up and thrown around by Nora using her telekinesis.

Miles fired his Venom Blasts, taking out some more, while Namor landed and killed some more creatures, swatting more aside with his trident.

Thorin, Dwalin, Drogo, M'Baku and Ghan fought together as the former used a hammer, Dwalin, Drogo and Ghan used axes and M'Baku used his knobkerrie, crushing any Outrider, Lost Boy or Orc in close vicinity.

Shaw jumped into the fray, using his gun and martial arts skills to take his opponents out.

Gloin, Dori, Nori, Fili, Kili and Bofur fought alongside Legolas and Gimli soon with their axes as father and son fought side by side.

They were joined by Thranduil who like at Battle of the Five Armies, chopped off heads of five Orcs at once before rolling and stabbing an Outrider and taking out another blade decapitated an Outrider behind him.

Elrond fluidly avoided enemy attacks and chopped down Vampires and Outriders with his new sword, hacking off limbs and heads mercilessly as Galadriel stood next to him and killed any other oncoming foes with telekinetic blasts of concussive energy. She knew she might have to use her lance soon as well.

Danny punched the ground with his Iron Fist, sending some Orcs and Vampires flying off before punching another Vampire with it as Colleen blocked an Outrider's attack with her chi-enhanced katana and struck it down.

Elektra, Elizabeth and Okoye too struck down nearby Outriders with swords and spear respectively, managing to avoid injuries mostly.

During this time, Rhodes fired a missile at a Troll's face and it exploded, killing it while J'onn again used a telekinetic force field to stop some and expanded it, killing more as Kara fired Heat Vision, destroying three Trolls simultaneously before flying into several Vampires at super speed, destroying them too.

"How much longer, Shuri?" T'Challa asked his sister via comms as he took down one more.

"I've barely begun, brother." She said from the other end.

"You might want to pick up the pace." He said as he sliced another down while Barry was a whirl of movement next to him, taking down several foes as Roy and Thea shot some down while keeping some distance.

"FORTH EORLINGAS!"

The Rohirrim army rode at full speed, joining the Wakandans, Gondorians, Men of Westeros, Silvan Elves and Dwarves as Theoden, Eomer, Gamling and the other Rohirrim struck down Orcs with their swords while on horseback or shot them down with arrows as they were trampled by their horses.

And then, launch bays opened up in the upper sections of all the dropships.

A large fleet of ariel drones flew out of the bays at high speed. Thanos had dubbed his drones 'Copters', after the source of there inspiration.

Ten feet in diameter, each Copter resembled a wheel of curved blades sandwiched between two metal discs.

The fleet darted through the open barrier and descended into the defending army like an orchestra of angry chainsaws.

Rhodes flew away to avoid being sliced and blasted them down.

Brian barely avoided being cut.

The fliers all had to scramble to dodge the attacks.

As Kara flew up to aid them, a blast of powerful magic struck her, sending her flying off high into Earths atmosphere, where she was knocked out.

"KARA!" J'onn roared as he flew to aid her.

But then, a powerful mental blast struck J'onn, knocking him out.

"Santa Maria!" Jason cursed as J'onn fell down.

With Kara and J'onn out, the defenders were getting overwhelmed rapidly by the Outriders, Orcs, Lost Boys, Trolls and Vampires.

Bucky was tackled to the ground by two Outriders as Frank was thrown down too.

Rhodes continued firing at several Outriders with Atom, Rebecca and Takio when all four of them were knocked down by Cull's hammer who caught it on return.

He, Midnight, Pan and Saruman had stepped into the barrier now.

T'Challa was also pushed down by some Outriders who dragged him away while Steve tried to hold one back but several more threw him down, trying to bite his legs.

Jason was fighting an Orc when a Vampire tripped him from behind and several of them ganged up on him.

Aragorn was fighting an Outrider when another tripped him from behind, several ganging up on him just as Danny tried to use his fist on one but a Vampire grabbed it and many attacked him too.

Oliver, Tommy and Clint were about to fire when Orcs jumped at them from all directions and they struggled.

Moon Knight was fighting a pair of Lost Boys when an Outrider jumped at him from behind, sending him down.

Barry was trying to cut down as many as he could but they were too many even for him when one of the Outriders suddenly made a cut on his back, making him fall down while they ganged up on him.

Banner was firing at them when several Outriders and Vampires jumped on him, tackling him to the ground.

"There's too many of 'em!" He yelled in despair.

All hope was lost. The armies of Thanos and Morgoth were gaining the upper hand. Kara and J'onn had been knocked out too.

Then a beam of light shot down from the heavens, incinerating all the Outriders, Orcs, Lost Boys, Trolls and Vampires standing there.

The enchanted axe known as Stormbreaker flew out of the Bifrost, flying and twirling in the air as lightning ran through it.

It killed several scores of Outriders, Orcs, Trolls, Lost Boys and Vampires, including the ones that were upon Jason, Steve, Aragorn, Oliver, Danny, Tommy, Moon Knight, Clint, Barry and Banner.

It flew back towards the Bifrost which dissipated as Thor Odinson caught it in his hand on return, with the two members of the Guardians of the Galaxy known as Rocket and Groot standing with him.

"Who is that?" Arya Stark asked as she got up.

"It's Thor!" Clint revealed and all smiled in relief, including those from Middle-Earth and Westeros as they had heard of him from Steve and Jason.

"You guys are so screwed now!" Banner laughed happily as he retracted his visor.

Saruman, Midnight, Cull and even Pan watched in fear.

They had taken out the two most powerful defenders on the field, only to face one even more powerful than them both.

Pan shuddered as he remembered taunting Thor earlier. Clearly he was starting to regret it.

"BRING ME THANOS!" Thor roared as lightning surged through him. He charged and leapt up, Stormbreaker raised as lightning emanated from him and the now darkened skies.

He then brought Stormbreaker down on the ground, with the exploding lightning killing more than 100 Outriders, Orcs, Trolls, Lost Boys and Vampires as the ground they were on became a smouldering crater.

Titan.

A portal opened and out walked Thanos, looking around and noticing the remnants of the Q-Ship.

His eyes then fell on Doctor Strange who was yards away on a staircase.

Strange, Tony, Cisco, Lex and Gwen had crash-landed on Titan some time ago, and they had encountered the remaining Guardians of the Galaxy, who had decided to team up with them.

Gandalf had also teleported there to aid them in battling Thanos.

"Oh, yeah." Strange quipped, "You're much more of a Thanos."

"I take it the Maw is dead." Thanos said and Strange nodded, "This day extracts a heavy toll."

Looking at the Eye of Agamotto, he said, "Still, he accomplished his mission."

"You may regret that." Strange warned, "He brought you face-to-face with the Master of the Mystic Arts."

"And where do you think he brought you?" Thanos asked him.

"Let me guess, your home?" Strange asked.

"It was." Thanos replied, planting his foot on some rubble.

He pressed his fist and activated the Reality Stone, conjuring an illusion of Titan in its glory days, with even people walking around, "And it was beautiful. Titan was like most planets. Too many mouths, not enough to go around. And when we faced extinction, I offered a solution."

"Genocide." Strange said in realization.

"But random, dispassionate, fair to rich and poor alike." Thanos clarified.

"They called me a madman." Thanos said as the illusion faded, "And what I predicted came to pass."

"Congratulations, you're a prophet." Strange said sarcastically.

"I'm a survivor." Thanos countered.

"With all six Stones, I could simply snap my fingers." Thanos pointed out as he snapped the fingers of his right hand, "They would all cease to exist. I call that mercy."

"Not when you murder innocents!" Gandalf snapped.

"Its life I'm taking. It will continue to grow if left unchecked and take a toll on the resources." Thanos told him, "Even your former friend understands that."

"Once you've killed people, what will you do?" Strange asked him as he got up.

"I'd finally rest... and watch the sun rise on a grateful Universe." Thanos told the two.

"The hardest choices require the strongest wills." Thanos said, firm in his resolution.

"I think you'll find all of our wills equal to yours." Strange said as he clapped his hands and summoned Tao Mandalas.

"All of our?" Thanos asked.

Then Tony Stark flew at him from above with a huge chunk of a building, smashing his face just as he activated the Power Stone.

"Piece of cake, Quill." Tony said as he flew off with Cisco Ramon and Lex Luthor.

"Yeah, if your goal was to piss him off." Peter Quill shot back as he put on his mask and flew with them.

The building was shattered by Thanos using the Power Stone who then turned the pieces into bats with the Reality Stone, to everyone's shock.

"Oh well done." Lex said dryly as the bats chased him, Cisco and Tony.

Cisco opened a powerful breach in the way which sucked all the bats into it.

A blinding light from Gandalf's staff momentarily blinded Thanos as a swinging Peter Parker hit him while Drax the Destroyer sliced his leg, with Strange arriving in front of him via portal.

Strange made an Eldritch Sword as Gandalf ran next to him with Glamdring out and the two duelled Thanos along with Drax.

Thanos eventually gained the upper hand and punched Drax away into debris.

He then grabbed Strange's sword which dissipated as he kicked him away, though Strange used a Tao Mandala to protect himself from damage.

He then tried to punch Gandalf but he put his bubble-like shield in the way by raising his staff, though it still budged.

Thanos activated the Power Stone and punched again, shattering the shield and sending Gandalf flying back.

Then Quill fired at Thanos from behind as Strange conjured platforms for him to jump on.

He planted an explosive on Thanos' back and gave him the finger.

"Boom!" He said before jumping into a breach Cisco had conjured behind him just as the explosive detonated, stunning Thanos.

Lex then fired a powerful breach at him which tried to suck in his hand.

He struggled to pull his hand away as Strange conjured portals from which Gwen Stacy jumped to attack.

"Magic!" Gwen said as she jumped into a portal. "More magic!" Gwen said as she jumped out and kneed Thanos before jumping into another. "Magic with a kick!" Gwen said as she kicked Thanos and leapt into another. "Magic with a-" Gwen was cut off as Thanos grabbed her in a chokehold and furiously slammed her to the ground, "Insect!"

He lifted up Gwen and threw her into Strange, Lex, Gandalf and Cisco, knocking them all down before ripping away his left hand from the breach, pressing his fist and using the Reality Stone to turn it into water.

Then there was an explosion as Tony fired several missiles at Thanos, making him stumble.

Thanos roared and absorbed the flames into the Infinity Gauntlet before firing back at Tony, throwing him back when Peter webbed his fist and tried to pull but the Mad Titan was stronger, pulling him instead and knocking him down before ripping the webbing off.

Then a Necrocraft rammed into Thanos from behind, sending him rolling down as debris fell upon him.

As he got up, a woman with cybernetic parts attached to her leapt out and punched him.

She was Nebula, his daughter whom he had tortured as punishment for betraying him.

She brandished her electric baton as Thanos said, "Well, well."

"You should've killed me." She snarled.

"It would've been a waste of parts!" Thanos sneered as she furiously attacked him, landing a few hits.

"Where's Gamora?" She asked when Thanos smacked her away.

That was when another breach opened near him, trying to suck him in but he used the Reality Stone to turn it to water as well.

A blinding light from Gandalf's staff blinded him again and that was all the distraction Strange needed.

The Crimson Bands of Cyttorak restrained Thanos' left fist while Drax kicked his knee, sending him down as Quill threw a gravity mine, restraining his other hand just as Peter webbed his chest and swung in his front.

Tony flew to Thanos' left and started trying to pull the Gauntlet out.

Thanos struggled and Peter had to use the 8 legs on his suit to steady himself and Gandalf used his telekinesis to help pin the Mad Titan down.

Cisco then opened a breach above Thanos and Mantis leapt down, putting her hands on Thanos' head, trying to use her powers on him.

Strange then restrained Thanos' other hand with the Crimson Bands of Cyttorak, aiding Quill's gravity mine while Gandalf, Peter and Drax kept him pinned.

Thanos screamed madly before finally stopping and staring around without seeing.

"Is he under?" Tony asked, "Don't let up."

"Be quick." Mantis warned, "He is very strong."

"Parker, Stacy, help! Get over here." Tony ordered and Peter and Gwen ran up next to him, helping to pull the Gauntlet off.

"She can't hold him much longer. Let's go." Tony said, "We gotta open his fingers to get it off."

Quill then flew in front of Thanos and retracting his mask taunted, "I thought you'd be hard to catch."

Pointing around he said, "For the record, this was my plan. You're not so strong now, huh? Where is Gamora?"

"My Gamora." Thanos groaned, his mind struggling with Mantis' powers.

"No, bullshit!" Quill snorted angrily, "Where is she?"

"He is in anguish." Mantis suddenly said.

"Good." Quill said without sympathy.

"He... He mourns." Mantis added.

"What does this monster have to mourn?" Drax asked as he struggled against Thanos.

"His hair?" Gwen joked.

"Gamora." Nebula whispered as Quill turned to her.

"What?" He asked in shock.

"She is dead. I can feel it." Nebula stated.

Now Quill had a scowl on his face and turned to Thanos.

"Master Quill, there will be a time to question the Mad Titan, it is not now." Gandalf gently counselled.

Tony remembered himself trying to murder Bucky after finding out of the deaths of his parents.

Now he feared Quill was making the same mistake in an even worse situation.

"Okay, Quill, you gotta cool it right now. You understand?" He said desperately as his visor came off, "Don't, don't. Don't engage. WE ALMOST GOT THIS OFF!"

"Tell me she's lying." Quill asked Thanos and on not getting a reply snapped, "Asshole, tell me you didn't do it!"

"I had to." Thanos groaned and that was it for Quill.

"No, you didn't." He said as he stepped closer, "No, you didn't."

Lex walked closer to restrain him but was too late as Quill started hitting Thanos' face with his blaster, "No, you didn't!"

Mantis' hold was broken as both Tony and Lex tried to restrain Quill, "Quill! Hey, stop! Hey, stop! Stop! Hey, stop! Stop!"

"It's coming, it's coming. I got it, I got it!" Peter said as he almost pulled it off. It was at the fingertips now. Just a little more.

Then Thanos woke up and head-butted Mantis, knocking her out and snatched the Gauntlet back, pushing Peter off and throwing Gwen down.

He then threw Mantis away.

"Oh, God." Peter said as he jumped away and grabbed her, using his spider legs to steady himself.

Thanos then kicked Drax away into Quill and Nebula.

He then pulled Strange to him before pushing him off into Gandalf and Lex, knocking them down.

Tony tried to fire at him but was smacked away as well.

Quill, Cisco, Nebula and Drax tried to charge him together but were knocked out by the Power Stone's blast.

Tony then smacked him and conjuring a blade with his suit, tried to attack but Thanos grabbed and head-butted him before throwing him down.

He then pressed his fist and using the Power Stone, shattered the moon above them.

He then rained down huge chunks of it.

Tony and Lex had to fly around to avoid, with Lex opening a breach now and then to send a chunk into it while Gandalf protected himself with his shield, gritting his teeth as he struggled against the chunks while Quill, Cisco, Nebula and Drax were sent flying around.

Wakanda.

Cull Obsidian was killing some defenders when T'Challa leapt at him and punched him, the kinetic energy sending him down.

Jason hewed several Outriders with his sword while Sansa barely dodged and managed to stab an Orc in the throat.

Brian Braddock flew at super-speed and destroyed some more Vampires.

"Bucky, gun now!" Sansa called out.

Bucky tossed his gun to Sansa who spun in a circle as she killed many Outriders, Orcs and Vampires.

"She's like a ballerina that kicks ass and slits throats" Jason muttered.

Sansa killed some Outriders and then tossed the gun back to Bucky.

"Come and get some, space dogs!" Rocket was shouting nearby as he shot down Outriders.

As some reached too close, Nuke, who was next to him, lifted him up.

Nuke then fired its gun, killing the Outriders while spinning them both around as Rocket fired and cheered, "Come on! Get some! Get some! Come on! Get some!"

"How much for the gun?" Rocket asked as Nuke dropped him.

"Not for sale" Nuke replied simply.

He then asked, "Okay. How much for the shades?"

Nuke simply grunted and moved away as Rocket said, "Oh, I'll get those shades."

"Yeah, okay" Tommy smirked nearby as he shot down some more Lost Boys while counting.

In the air, Ray barely avoided being sliced in two by a Copter and tuned, firing his energy blasts, destroying it.

Rebecca, Takio, Beck, Rhodes, Sam, Brian, Ray, Ultron, Johnny Storm, Atom, Zari and Firestorm were still battling the Copters with all there might, trying to draw there attention.

Several Copters flew towards the ground, dissecting several defenders, before Takio destroyed them with his repulsors.

"Watch out!" Rebecca called out in warning as a pair of Copters dived at Takio.

Takio flew out of the way and flew on his back, destroying the Copters.

Ultron flew around, blasting them with his concussive blasts.

"I hope metal is not the only thing left on Earth after this is over", Ultron muttered as he grabbed a Copter and crushed it with his bare hands, being far stronger than it.

He then used his gravity manipulation to pull a Copter towards another, making them both crash against each other before he dispatched them with concussive blasts.

He then grabbed another one and then raised the temperature of his hand before using it to slice the Copter in half.

"You're one hell of a badass", Rebecca commented as she fired at the Copters with her energy beams.

Firestorm helped them too with his blasts as he fired at the drones.

"Back at you", Ultron replied as he fired at another, destroying it.

Rhodes used his sonic cannon on two Copters. The result was enough to destroy them.

But then Earth-2 Laurel unleashed her Canary Cry and it destroyed quite a few of them.

"Okay, what?" he said in astonishment.

Brian grabbed a Copter and threw it into several Outriders, killing them all.

On the ground, Thor was slaughtering Outriders and Vampires again nearby as Jason, Steve, Oliver, Marc Spector, Sansa and Sara noticed him nearby.

"New haircut?" Steve asked.

"Noticed you've copied my beard." Thor said as he pointed at Steve's beard and he smirked.

"I love it man" Jason grinned.

"Good to have you around." Oliver simply said to him.

Thor then pointed at Groot who stabbed Outriders with his elongated hand and lifted them up, "By the way, this is a friend of mine, Tree."

"You found an Enting?!" Sara couldn't believe it.

"I am Groot!" Groot corrected both her and Thor indignantly.

Sara thought he was introducing himself and gesturing to herself said, "I am Sara Lance….Hroom."

Jason actually burst out laughing.

"What's funny?" Oliver asked him.

"Groot just said and I quote 'Let's fuck these fuckers up'. I imagine he's rather confused at this point" Jason chuckled.

"You speak his language?" Steve asked.

"Yeah, a guy named Jim Corrigan taught me" Jason replied.

That was when a wave of concussive energy disintegrated some Outriders and Galadriel appeared on the scene. Thor's eyes widened in horror.

"HELA?!" He growled.

"For the love of god, not again" Jason groaned before telling Thor, "Thor, whoever Hela is, it's not her. Her name is Lady Galadriel. People from her world look like some people we know for some reason."

"I know I look like an enemy of yours, Thor Odinson." Galadriel said gently, "But rest assured I am not her."

Thor nodded. While their faces did look the same, this Galadriel was calm, composed and wise, a contrast to his sister who had been ruthless, cruel and impulsive.

"Yes. You're not her." Thor agreed.

Marc threw a dart which emitted a sonic pulse, causing nearby Orcs to scream in pain, allowing there opponents to dispatch them.

Marc then ducked to avoid a strike from an Outrider and killed it with a knife to the throat.

Nearby, Jon Snow barely blocked a hit from an Outrider and killed it with a stab to the throat.

As another came to attack him, Sansa decapitated it.

"Sansa" Jon nodded.

"Jon" Sansa smiled.

Jon eyed Sansa out, as her clothes were different.

She was wearing black jeans, with several knives strapped on. She wore a black T-shirt and an olive green jacket.

Sansa nodded at Jon and moved away to kill some more Outriders.

Arya was struggling slightly as the Outriders were very powerful opponents.

Sansa leapt and drove her sword into an Outrider's brain.

Khal Drogo howled as he clubbed nearby Orcs, Outriders and Vampires into oblivion, with Danerys cutting down several others nearby.

Diggle and Rene spun in a circle, killing Orcs, while Shang-Chi flip-kicked another, and Nuke punched and kicked Outriders to great distances.

One Orc attacked, but Nuke lifted him up by the throat.

"Fuck you, asshole" Nuke to the Orc coldly, before throwing the Orc into several charging Lost Boys.

Earth-2 Laurel loved, firing her Canary Cry and killing some more foes.

Conrad sped around, punching nearby foes down, while Namor leapt and landed in the middle of a group of Outriders, throwing them back as a small crater was formed.

Namor roared wildly as he smacked foes off there feet and punched, kicked and threw Outriders and Orcs to great distances.

Takio was flying around, slaughtering more Outriders and Orcs when an unseen force pushed him to the ground.

It was Peter Pan who had angrily pointed his hand at him and was now coming for revenge against Jason Stark.

Takio tried to get up but Pan pinned him down with his powers.

"Peter Pan!" Takio snarled through gritted teeth.

"Beg me for mercy and I will spare you." Pan ordered him.

Takio was never going to beg his enemies for anything. Even during the rare chance it saved his life. He would die with honour.

"We will never kneel before Thanos." Takio snarled through gritted teeth.

Pan smirked. Now he would have his vengeance against Jason Stark by killing one of his best friends.

"Be at peace, Takio Maseoshiro." He responded coldly before increasing his telekinesis' power.

Takio gasped as the unseen force broke his ribs and crushed his internal organs brutally.

Blood poured out of his mouth.

There was a gurgling sound as he breathed his last.

Takio Maseoshiro had been slain!

Rory Regan noticed and with a furious roar, charged towards Pan at full speed intending to strike him down.

Then suddenly the ground burst open and five giant spiked wheels burst out. And they were lit by dark fires added by Morgoth. Threshers they were called.

They rolled towards the defenders. Rory was almost about to be killed by one when Barry sped him to safety.

"You okay?" Barry asked, not knowing the tragedy that had just befallen him.

Rory shook his head sadly and Barry gave his shoulder a supportive squeeze.

"Fall back, now!" T'Challa said too as the wheels roared and the flames from them spread, killing several defenders.

"Oh hell!" Nate Heywood said in horror as he too turned and ran.

"What the actual hell!?" Shang-Chi asked in horror as he promptly turned and bolted as well to avoid being killed.

---

In the lab, Wanda looked down and between Vision with a conflicted expression on her face.

"Go!" Matt urged her, knowing the noise from the fight will only overload his senses. Even in here he could hear it all, "We got this!"

Wanda nodded gratefully, the flame of decision forming in her eyes.

---

Outside, Sam, Rhodes, Rebecca and Ray were firing at a Thresher.

Frodo, Bilbo, Sam, Merry, Pippin, Natasha, Crowe Altius, Arwen, Elizabeth Braddock and Okoye were fighting side by side when the Threshers came upon them, their flames killing several defenders nearby.

But before they could be killed, Wanda flew in the way.

Using her powers, she stopped the Threshers and lifting them up, crushed scores of Outriders, Lost Boys and Vampires with them.

Wanda looked at them as Natasha smiled in pride.

"You think she has fireworks?" Pippin asked jokingly and the Hobbits chuckled.

"I think these were her fireworks." Sam replied.

"Why was she up there all this time?" Okoye asked randomly.

Crowe's eyes suddenly widened in horror.

"Glaive is alive. He will take it!" Crowe warned.

---

"She's on the field." Midnight said to her husband via comms, "Take it."

---

In the lab, Matt untapped his comms on getting the message when he heard someone outside.

He ran out and threw his Billy club at Glaive, staggering him and catching it on return as Glaive fought him.

Matt deflected his attacks with his club as the two guards tried fighting Glaive. Glaive lifted Matt by the throat and threw him off before slicing the two guards down.

He walked inside to see Eowyn and Ayo in his way. The two attacked as he tried to deflect while Shuri worked faster.

Matt then leapt at Glaive from behind and grabbing his head between his feet, flipped him to the ground.

Eowyn was about to strike him when Glaive tripped her and was going to stab her instead when Ayo blocked his attack.

He then elbowed Ayo and knocked her away before kicking Eowyn out while her baby cried on his crib.

Shuri stopped her work and taking out her blasters, fired at Glaive who blocked with his glaive.

He shattered the table as Shuri dodged his attack.

He then noticed the table was empty. Then Vision leapt at him and threw them both out the window as it shattered.

---

"Guys, we got a Vision situation here." Sam said as he flew and noticed.

Rebecca started, "Let's help-"

She was cut off when an Outrider leapt at the two and knocked them down.

"Somebody get to Vision!" Steve ordered as he punched an Outrider away.

"Don't let him get that Stone!" Jason ordered as he sliced another Outrider down.

"I got him!" Banner said as he flew away.

"On my way." Wanda said too when Midnight punched her down and stood over her, "He'll die alone. As will you."

"She's not alone."

Midnight turned around to see Natasha, Ruby, Elizabeth, Arwen and Okoye, ready to fight.

Midnight leapt at Natasha with a roar, trying to strike her down as Okoye ran next to Natasha but her spear was deflected away as Arwen blocked a strike meant for Natasha with Hadhafang.

---

Glaive kicked Vision away and then Cull sent him flying back with his hammer.

Then Bruce flew in the way and pointing the suit at them said, "Oh, no, you don't. This isn't gonna be like New York, pal. This suit's already kicked the crap outta the Hulk."

Then Cull grabbed his arms with his claw hammer as Bruce was shocked, "What? No! No!"

The suit flew them both away and threw them down as Bruce told the others, "Guys! Vision needs backup, now!"

He then got up and begged Hulk, "Hulk? Hulk, I know you like making your entrance at the last second. Well, this is it, man. This is the last, last second."

He fought Cull who chopped off one arm of the suit with his hammer.

"Hulk! Hulk! Hulk!" Bruce begged when his face transformed and roared, "NOOOOOOOO!"

Bruce returned to normal and roared, "Screw you, you big green asshole! I'll do it myself!"

Bruce punched Cull several times before being thrown down. As Cull was about to land the finishing blow, Bruce attached the severed gauntlet to him and said, "See ya!"

He activated it and Cull was sent into the air, with the barrier destroying him.

"Hulk, we got a lot to figure out, pal." Bruce said to his other personality.

---

Natasha, Elizabeth, Arwen and Okoye continued fighting Midnight.

Midnight then punched Natasha down and grabbing Okoye threw her off before kicking Arwen away into Elizabeth and Ruby.

Natasha split her baton into two and disarmed Midnight before being punched down.

Midnight tried to stab her with her blade as Natasha tried to push back.

Elizabeth then grabbed Midnight by the back of the head and threw her high into the air, where she got killed by a Thresher.

The five nodded at each other and moved to fight other enemies.

---

Glaive stabbed Vision and taunted, "I thought you were formidable, machine. But you're dying, like any man."

He retracted his glaive and threw Vision the other way, only to see Jason, Shaw and Marc Spector in his way.

"Let's do this!" Marc snarled before he, Jason and Shaw engaged.

Glaive snarled as he battled them with all his strength.

Their years of combat experience helped balance the fight.

The quartet was soon a blur as they fought faster than normal humans eyes could see.

Marc soon broke the deadlock by stabbing Glaive in the foot, momentarily distracting Glaive and making him drop his weapon.

That was all Shaw needed to pick up the fallen glaive and thrust it into Glaive's chest.

It protruded from Glaive's back as he gasped, the life leaving his eyes.

Shaw retracted the glaive and threw it aside as Jason helped Vision, "Are you all right, Vision?"

"Thank you." Vision said to them gratefully.

---

Shang-Chi flip-kicked another Orc down and ducked to avoid a claw strike from an Outrider.

Bucky was punching Outriders and shooting them down as Elektra sliced the head of two Orcs simultaneously near him.

Boromir killed an Orc nearby as Faramir chopped off another's head.

Robin fired several arrows; killing some more while Rumple killed more Outriders with telekinetic blasts.

Then a Troll tried to bring its sword down on Nate as he held it back with all his strength.

Boromir, Robin Hood and Faramir stabbed both its legs, making it roar in pain as it fell to its knees.

Bucky then leapt high and punched the Troll with his Vibranium arm, breaking its nose and sending it down.

Elektra leapt at it and stabbed its throat, killing it.

Doreen flipped to avoid an Outrider and took it down while Frank and Nuke gunned down some more together, and Logan roared and killed another Outrider.

Captain America threw his shield, taking down some more, while White Canary used her skills to take down more.

"Now it feels like old times!" White Canary called out to Captain America who couldn't help but agree.

Nearby, Reed Richards wrapped himself around one very large Troll, restraining it.

Susan Storm used her force fields to destroy more Outriders, Orcs and Vampires, while turning invisible to avoid them.

Johnny Storm fired his blasts, taking more of them down. "Flame on and badass."

"It's clobberin' time!" Ben Grimm roared as he picked up a Troll and threw it into several Outriders, Vampires and Lost Boys, taking them all down.

"Well, don't you see new things every day?" Conrad muttered to himself as he took down some more Outriders.

Suddenly, Ancalagon flew at the barrier and turned vertical, getting inside before turning horizontal again and fired at the defenders, burning many of the defenders as the Dwarves watched in horror.

"I beat Smaug, so I can beat this thing," Jason said, before imiadetley deflating on seeing its size, "Santa Maria! Okay anyone else is free to fight it."

As Ancalagon fired again, Wanda's hands glowed as she stepped forward and blocked the attack with her barrier.

She grunted, trying to hold it back. This was the most powerful thing her magic had ever gone up against. Her barrier soon started to buckle.

Then Galadriel walked next to her and put a hand on her shoulder.

Her powers of mind and magic bolstered Wanda's psychic stamina and she managed to hold back the fire just long enough.

Ancalagon then stopped firing and Wanda panted before smiling gratefully at Galadriel.

But Galadriel knew this was not the end. There was only one person powerful enough to stop Ancalagon.

She closed her eyes and urged that person with her telepathy.

"The Odinforce is yours, Thor Odinson. Only you can save us."

Thor girded himself where he stood and flew at Ancalagon at full speed, Galadriel's words giving him courage.

The deaths of Heimdall, his brother and his people still gnawed at him. But that very guilt became the catalyst for his power growing to its next level.

Barry and Conrad both knew something was about to happen and sped everyone in the vicinity away until there was a huge distance between them and Ancalagon.

Thor concentrated his godly essence and gave a cry of surprise as the Odinforce erupted inside him.

His eyes flashed with lightning at the sensation. He had never felt such power. And due to the distance from the others, he knew he wouldn't have to hold back.

He channelled the Odinforce into Stormbreaker before releasing it with a mighty throw just as Ancalagon fired again.

The axe, now empowered by the Odinforce effortlessly cut through the fire and the metallic dragon was vaporized on impact, consumed in a mystical blast almost as bright as the sun.

The force of the explosion threw every single combatant off their feet and the foes in the vicinity were vaporized as well.

The defenders had to cover their eyes with both hands to shield themselves from the light.

As they recovered, Bofur laughed happily and said, "Now this laddie knows how to deal with a Dragon for sure."

Stormbreaker returned to Thor's hands as the Odinforce dissipated. He realized he couldn't control it and it came in spurts.

"You will master it, Thor Odinson. Do not worry."

Thor nodded and flew into the air again, everyone invigorated by his victory.

The Copters were all destroyed now, the ariel fighters having taken them all out.

---

Morgoth had teleported himself out of the barrier before Ancalagon had been destroyed.

These enemies of his were invigorated by the victory. But soon, they would feel his wrath.

He had managed to remake his hammer Grond, and was going to make his enemies fear it more than Sauron's battering ram named after it.

He teleported himself to the battlefield at last as all combat ceased for a moment due to his imposing figure and dreaded aura.

"The Dark Lord is here!" Galadriel said as everybody felt chills down their spines.

"Damn, this guy's ugly" Jason quipped to lighten his own mood. It didn't work.

Grond had a six-headed blade surrounded by an unholy flame and was imbued with dark sorcery.

He used a mystic blast to scatter Bucky, Boromir, Faramir, Nuke, Elektra, Reed and Ben who were close by, knocking them all out.

Even Ben's rock from didn't prevent him from being knocked out.

Sam tried to fire at him from above but he was unaffected when Saruman pointed his staff at Sam and telekinetically knocked him against a tree, knocking him out.

Morgoth then swung Grond down like a bolt of thunder and killed several Wakandans, Men of Westeros and Elves below him while the force of the blow caused the ground nearby to collapse.

Some Gondorians, Merry Men and Rohirrim were swallowed by the fiery pit that the blow had left behind.

Rhodes and Atom tried to fire at him from above.

The Dark Lord struck them both with his mace simultaneously and they were thrown down, their suits damaged badly as they were knocked out by Morgoth's strength.

Zari flew at him and fired a wind blast but he manipulated the wind by waving Grond and released it back at Zari instead, knocking her out as Nora tried to use telekinesis on him but he blocked with Grond and hit her with a telekinetic blast of his own, knocking her out too.

Danny leapt at him with his Iron Fist charged when Morgoth swung Grond at him.

It hit his fist and Danny was thrown down, screaming in pain as all of his bones in that hand were broken to his own horror.

Never had a weapon hurt his Iron Fist like that.

Not backing down, Colleen stepped up to face Morgoth with her chi-enhanced katana.

Morgoth brought down Grond and her katana was shattered as Pan pointed his hand at her and she was thrown away before being knocked out as her head hit the ground.

Elizabeth stepped up to attack, but Morgoth threw her down with a mystic blast.

Enraged, Brian flew at Morgoth at full speed, intending to strike him down.

As Brian flew closer, Morgoth pulled him closer, and threw him down, using Grond and his magic-enhanced fist to knock Brian out.

Doreen yelled a battle cry and leapt to attack, although Saruman knocked her out with a telekinetic blast.

"FOR ATLANTIS!" Namor bellowed and charged.

Morgoth smirked as Namor leapt.

Morgoth smacked Namor with Grond, sending him crashing to the ground, knocked out.

Susan Storm then arrived, using her force field to form a battering ram as she hit Morgoth, the power behind it sending him staggering back as she continued, hitting him with it repeatedly.

Morgoth then grunted before stopping the force field ram by raising Grond, stopping it in its tracks.

Taking the opportunity, Susan formed a force field within Morgoth and started expanding it to take him down, but Morgoth raised Grond and blew out the force field, his own darkness added to it, as it hit Susan, sending her flying off and crashing to the ground as she lost consciousness.

Johnny Storm tried to fire some flames at Morgoth but Morgoth materialized water made of mystic energy, overpowering Storm's flames and sending him flying off as he fell on the ground, knocked out himself.

Morgoth had plans to increase his strength even more later. But right now, he had another way to increase his strength as well.

Morgoth concentrated and cast his mightiest spell since escaping the Void.

Thanos did not yet have complete dominion over the fabric of Eä. That included the aspect Morgoth had the greatest affinity with – Evil.

Morgoth's runestones answered their master's summons.

The runestones fed off evil thoughts and deeds, transforming them into sorcerous energy.

The Dark Lord had studied the history of Earth and its people. To his malicious delight, he concluded it was a world where evil flourished far greater than Arda.

Every runestone shattered after releasing their stored energy (to prevent others discovering how they worked).

Unimaginable quantities of black magic instantly poured into Morgoth from every corner of the globe. His power surged to levels he had not felt in millennia.

That power was quickly exercised as a Wakandan jet fired at him. Morgoth was unaffected and retaliated with a fireball that instantly consumed the jet.

The exhilaration Morgoth felt only fuelled one of his core beliefs. One of the worst narcissists in the cosmos, the Dark Lord still saw himself as the greatest of the Ainur.

"I AM MELKOR!" His voice boomed throughout the surrounds. "DOOM OF EÄ – NOW AND FOREVER!"

Morgoth's waxing power was symbolized by a change in appearance. He was now surrounded in an aura resembling tendrils of shadow. One of Mandos's prophecies came to pass.

Thor casually slaughtered Outriders with lightning before flying into a dropship, destroying it as he emerged from its top.

That was when he heard Morgoth's taunts and flew back inside to face the first Dark Lord of Middle-Earth.

"Who are you, boy?" Morgoth asked condescendingly.

Thor hovered in the air and as lightning roared in the sky he announced, "Hear me Dark Lord! I am Thor the Thunderer! Son of Odin! King of Asgard! But today, above all things, I am an Avenger! And this world is under my protection!"

With that, he flew at Morgoth as Stormbreaker and Grond clashed, the resulting energy producing a shockwave that killed any Outrider, Orc, Lost Boy, Vampire or Troll in the vicinity while those that were far off were knocked away by it.

---

Titan.

Peter saved Mantis, Quill, Nebula and Drax from the raining chunks with his webs, "I got you. I got you. I'm sorry I can't remember anybody's names."

Thanos heard lightning roaring behind him and turned to see Gandalf had summoned lightning to Glamdring.

The White Wizard pointed Glamdring at him and the lightning bolts shot out, hitting him and making him roar in pain.

Before he could recover, Gandalf repeated what he had done 4 years ago against another unstoppable monster

"You cannot pass!" Gandalf declared to him.

"I am a servant of the secret fire." Gandalf announced to his foe, casting a spell, "Wielder of the flame of Anor."

His staff emitted a bubble of blue-white light that covered him.

"The dark fire shall not avail you, Son of A'Lars!" The Wizard spoke in defiance to the Mad Titan.

Thanos used the Power Stone and brought his fist down on Gandalf. The bubble of light disintegrated.

Gandalf remained steadfast and told Thanos, "Go back to the shadow!"

Gandalf raised his staff and Glamdring and declared to his foe- "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!"

As soon as he finished, he slammed his staff down on the bridge and a loud cracking noise was heard.

Thanos snorted at the Wizard's display of power and took a step forward. Suddenly, the bridge under his feet crumbled and he plummeted below.

Gandalf gave an exhausted grunt and turned to walk away.

Down below, Strange opened a portal to where Thanos was falling. But even this tactic did not work.

Just before Thanos could fall into it, he used the Reality Stone and it turned to bubbles.

Thanos then held onto the remainder of the summit and leapt back up to face Gandalf who turned around to face him in fear and anticipation. Even Sauron had not been this terrifying.

As Thanos fired a blast from the Power Stone, Gandalf surrounded himself with the spherical shield of light as the Power Stone's energy tried overpowering it.

The shield inched back as the Power Stone's energy slowly overpowered it.

Suddenly, the shield disappeared and Gandalf staggered back but before the energy could hit him, he summoned the shield again, pushing back against Thanos with all his might.

Thanos stopped for a second and Gandalf very slightly let his guard down due to exhaustion. But that was all the Mad Titan needed.

He fired another blast from the Power Stone and it hit the shield hard, making it collapse at last.

Gandalf raised his staff in defiance but Thanos used the Space Stone to lift him into the air and slammed him to the ground, making blood pour out of his split lip.

Thanos lifted him with the Space Stone again and said, "You're full of tricks, Wizard. But you will interfere no more."

He then used the Reality Stone as Gandalf's staff ignited and disintegrated away.

Thanos once again slammed him down with the Space Stone, knocking him out.

A blast of energy struck Thanos as Lex Luthor arrived to do battle.

Lex kicked Thanos in the chest, staggering him slightly before punching Thanos.

Thanos used the Power and Space Stones in unison to destroy Lex's Lexosuit.

He then lifted Lex up by the throat.

"Alexander Joseph Luthor. You shall no longer interfere" Thanos said to him.

Lex spoke words that his past self a few years ago would never have said.

"Superman will stop you"

Thanos said nothing and slammed Lex to the ground, knocking him out.

He turned just as Gwen Stacy kicked him in the head.

As Gwen leapt around to punch, Thanos caught her by the throat and furiously slammed her to the ground, knocking her out as well.

Then Doctor Strange flew down to battle Thanos.

Strange summoned Tao Mandalas and fired bolts of Eldritch energy at Thanos which he leapt to avoid and fired a blast with the Power Stone.

Strange countered by opening the Mirror Dimension in the middle to absorb the beam and pushed it back at him.

Thanos destroyed it with the Power Stone's punch and transforming the remnants into a Black Hole, threw it back at Strange.

Strange cast a spell and the Black Hole was transmuted into mystical butterflies.

Suddenly, more hands popped from behind Strange and thousands of Stranges appeared. All of them restrained Thanos with Eldritch whips.

Then Thanos activated the Soul and Power Stones, destroying the clones as the real Strange was sent back and his astral form was seen for a second.

Thanos activated the Space and Reality Stones, pulling Strange to him by changing the landscape and held him by the neck.

"You never once used your greatest weapon." He ripped out the Eye of Agamotto and crushed it as nothing was inside, "A fake."

He tossed Strange away, knocking him out, when a nanotech clamp stopped him from closing his fist and Tony flew down, "You throw another moon at me, and I'm gonna lose it!"

"Stark." Thanos said.

"You know me?" A shocked Tony asked.

"I do." Thanos replied, "You're not the only one cursed with knowledge."

"My only curse is you." Tony sneered and fired missiles which Thanos blocked with his Infinity Gauntlet.

He flew at Thanos, transforming his feet into the huge jet as he kicked Thanos down before punching him back with conjured battering rams.

Thanos ripped off his helmet but another appeared as Thanos punched him back and ripping off the clamp, fired from the Power Stone, with Tony using a shield to block.

Thanos stopped and Tony kicked him and pinned the Gauntlet with a foot clamp before hitting him with battering rams, sending him down.

The force was enough to make him bleed a little as he touched his cheek and said, "All that for a drop of blood."

Thanos threw him of and started pummelling him before blasting him away with the Power Stone.

Tony fired with his reforming suit but Thanos used the Power Stone to block as they fought and Thanos blocked an attack of Tony.

Tony formed a dagger and tried to stab but Thanos grabbed his hand and broke it off before stabbing him.

Thanos pushed a gasping Tony back before holding his head.

"You have my respect Stark." Thanos said, "When I'm done half of humanity will still be alive."

As Tony gasped in pain, he said sincerely, "I hope they remember you."

He then pointed the Infinity Gauntlet at Tony.

"STOP!" Strange said as they turned to him. He was awake now.

"Spare his life...and I will give you the Stone." He promised.

"No tricks." Thanos warned.

"Don't!" Tony begged but Strange summoned the Time Stone from where he had hidden it disguised as a star.

Thanos held out his hand as Strange sent it flying at him. Tony shook his head sadly as Thanos took it and inserted it within the Infinity Gauntlet.

Power surged through him as he said, "One to go."

Then shots hit the Infinity Gauntlet. Quill was firing at him from above. Thanos simply opened a portal via Space Stone and escaped into it.

"Where is he?" Quill asked angrily as he pointed his blaster around.

He then noticed Gandalf staggering up, without his staff while Cisco also groaned and got up.

Lex and Gwen also staggered towards them.

Tony used his remaining nanoparticles to seal his wound.

"Did we just lose?" Quill asked, horror and guilt filling him.

"Why would you do that?" Tony asked Strange incredulously.

Gandalf had a feeling Strange had done what he had done for a reason. He was a Wizard after all.

Strange looked at them all and said ominously, "We're in the endgame now."

---

Wakanda.

The battle had reached a sort of stalemate now.

The Outriders, Orcs, Lost Boys, Trolls and Vampires had almost been destroyed by the defenders.

However, Morgoth was raining his wrath upon them.

A powerful bolt of lightning flung him back as Thor flew down at him but he sent him back with a mystical blast instead, pushing him into the air.

Thor roared and threw Stormbreaker at him with lightning charged.

Morgoth teleported away and Thor called Stormbreaker back when Morgoth hit him from behind instead, knocking him down.

Thor got up and blocked Grond with Stormbreaker as the two most powerful beings from either side clashed their weapons.

Morgoth pushed Thor back with another mystical blast and fired energy tendrils at him which he slid on the ground to avoid before throwing Stormbreaker at him.

The Great Enemy managed to swat it away with Grond and tried to strike Thor who leapt at the mace before leaping into the air catching Stormbreaker.

He slammed it down on the ground and the lightning knocked Morgoth away. As he started getting up, Thor fired a powerful lightning blast at him.

Morgoth telekinetically defended with Grond in the way.

They were in a deadlock for some time until Galadriel walked next to Thor to aid him.

She pulled out a phial and raised it, transforming in voice and appearance.

"BEHOLD THE LAST LIGHT OF EÄRENDIL!" She declared to Morgoth. "MAY IT DRIVE BACK YOUR SHADOW! ALL THE WAY TO THE VOID!"

Morgoth screeched as his physical form started to burn. His attacking legions cowered in fear before the searing light.

Concentrated upon the field, Morgoth's, Pan's and Thanos' remaining army was soon utterly vanquished.

The Dark Lord desperately moved to save himself. He surrounded himself in a shadow cloud before willing it to expand.

The cloud began inching back the attacks against his person. Thor roared, increasing his lightning's power. Just a little more pressure and they would win.

Morgoth felt the fight was slipping away from him.

Frustratingly, he had enough power to defeat or at least fight his assailants individually. All he needed was for their combined assault to ease just a fraction.

While still far from full strength, Morgoth possessed the abilities of all the Valar. That included Varda's ability to see across the depths of space.

Morgoth projected into Thor's mind a snippet of events on Titan.

Thanos stabbed Tony.

"Spare his life and I'll give you the Stone." Strange said as the Time Stone appeared and Thanos took it.

Thor was shocked because of what he had seen and that brought his lightning to a halt. Morgoth had his opening.

The attack against the Dark Lord instantly ceased as his shadow cloud exploded outward.

All the defenders in his near vicinity now lay unconscious in the field including Eddard, Robert, Rory, Conrad, Eomer, Erkenbrand, Thorin, Dwalin, Dori, Fili, Kili, Nori, Bofur, Gloin, Rocket, Drogo, Danerys, Arya, Jon, Robb, Bran, Ghan and M'Baku.

He was about to move away when Thor got back up.

"Not so fast, monster!" He roared as he charged with Stormbreaker again and Morgoth defended with Grond, the two trying to best each other.

"Are you okay?" Wanda asked Vision as she flew up next to him. Suddenly, he grunted in pain as the Mind Stone flared.

"What? What is it?" She asked.

"He's here." Vision gasped.

Steve looked around.

"Everyone, on my position. We have incoming." Steve ordered.

Natasha looked around and muttered, "What the hell?"

Everyone's eyes darted back and forth when Banner turned around and a portal opened as out marched Thanos.

"Is that him?" Aragorn asked.

"That's him." Banner confirmed, the dread in his voice clear.

"So this is the fucker that Nalia kept talking about" Jason muttered.

"Thanos." Thranduil whispered in dread as Elrond's eyes flared up in anger, the desire to avenge his father strong.

"Oh boy." White Canary muttered, as she and Captain America remembered the Earth-96 Thanos.

"Eyes up. Stay sharp." Steve ordered everyone as they prepared to fight.

Thanos stalked forwards menacingly.

Ray moved behind him and blasted him with beams of energy, sending Thanos slightly forward.

Thanos growled in annoyance and trapped Ray with the Space Stone, sending him flying off.

Banner leapt at Thanos but he used the Space Stone to make him intangible and Banner passed through him and went into solid stone where Thanos turned him tangible again and he was lodged inside it.

Steve charged at Thanos but was flung away by energy from the Power Stone.

T'Challa leapt at him but Thanos grabbed him by the throat and punched him hard. As he fell down, his suit discharged all the kinetic energy inside in a powerful but useless burst.

Barry sped around Thanos in circles as Logan leapt at Thanos with a roar but was grabbed by the throat and punched hard. He was dazed as Thanos threw him to the other side.

Barry then fired his lightning bolt but to his shock, Thanos absorbed it in the Infinity Gauntlet and with a burst of the Power Stone, threw him back, disarming him of his sword.

"Wanda."

Wanda turned to face Vision who urged, "It's time."

"No." She shook her head in despair.

"They can't stop him, Wanda, but we can." Vision urged.

As her lips quivered, he said, "Look at me. You have the power to destroy the Stone."

"Don't." She begged.

"You must do it. Wanda, please." He urged, "We are out of time."

"I can't." She croaked.

"Yes, you can." He encouraged, "You can. If he gets the Stone, half the Universe dies. It's not fair. It shouldn't be you, but it is."

"It's all right." He then said, "You could never hurt me. I just feel you."

With quivering lips, Wanda finally fired a powerful beam at the Mind Stone as Vision gasped in pain but allowed her to proceed.

Rebecca fired her suit's weapons, although Thanos trapped her with the Space Stone and threw her into a tree, knocking her out.

Frank, Natasha, Arwen, Ruby, Okoye, Roy and Thea charged at Thanos.

Frank fired bullets but was knocked down by the Power Stone.

Roy and Thea fired arrows as Okoye threw her spear.

Thanos blew them back with the Power Stone and sent Okoye, Roy and Thea down as well before using the Reality Stone to form pillars, trapping Natasha and Arwen.

Rumple fired a telekinetic burst, but Thanos threw him down with the Power Stone.

Thranduil leapt at Thanos but was stopped by the Space Stone and slammed to the ground as Elrond tried to summon another blinding flash of light but Thanos knocked him out with the Power Stone as well.

Beck fired energy beams, but Thanos stopped it and threw him down with the Power Stone.

As Caitlin fired her ice blast, Thanos used the Reality Stone to turn the beam into water before throwing Caitlin down with the Power Stone as well.

Mick fired his Heat Gun but Thanos absorbed the flames in his Infinity Gauntlet before firing them back at Mick, sending him down as his coat got charred.

Groot attacked Thanos with roots but he broke free of them.

Wanda looked back with tears and turning back to Vision, fired a beam from her other hand as well, breaking down.

Sara leapt and tried to slash at Thanos with Ciris but he used his superior reflexes to snatch it from her and knocked her out with its pommel.

Legolas, for the first time, fired an enchanted arrow. It exploded near Thanos and hit him with flames, actually hurting him before Thanos used the Reality Stone to transform the flames into water and sent them at Legolas as a small but powerful wave.

The wave hit him and knocked him out.

Gimli charged roaring, "BARUK KHAZAD!"

Thanos simply kicked him away into a tree, knocking him out.

Frodo, Sam, Bilbo, Merry and Pippin roared and ignoring their fear, charged at him, only for the Power Stone's blast to floor them all.

Clint fired an arrow at him but he turned it into feathers with the Reality Stone before knocking Clint out with a punch.

Aragorn roared, "ELENDIL!"

And with that, he charged at Thanos. Thanos tried to punch him but he actually backed to avoid the swing and brought Anduril down on the Gauntlet, sending sparks flying off.

He grunted, trying to push the Mad Titan back but it was in vain as Thanos lifted him up with the other hand and slammed him to the ground, knocking him out.

Diggle and Rene attacked, firing there guns, although Thanos floored them with the Power Stone.

"You won't get past me." Oliver declared with resolution in his voice and like Legolas, used an enchanted arrow for the first time.

The arrow multiplied into two and hit Thanos with small blast of lightning, making him roar in pain as it hurt him.

As Oliver tried to fire again, Thanos recovered and with the Space Stone, pulled the bow to him before knocking Oliver out with a burst of the Power Stone and threw the bow down, using the Power Stone to shatter it into pieces.

Steve slid next to Thanos and arrived in front of him.

Using his shields, he hit Thanos' abdomen, his left wrist and gave him an uppercut on his chin, though the Mad Titan was barely affected.

Thanos then brought his Infinity Gauntlet covered hand down on Steve which he grabbed with all his might and roared, trying to stop Thanos from closing it.

Then Thanos punched Steve hard, knocking him out.

Crowe Altius attacked, throwing a ball of magical energy that staggered Thanos.

As Crowe slid over a log, Thanos brought his fist down on her as Crowe held it back with all her might.

Thanos lifted Crowe up and slammed her down, knocking her out.

Firestorm threw balls of fire, but Thanos threw him down with the Power Stone.

Miles fired his Venom Blasts but Thanos took him down as well.

Ultron tried to attack from above, but Thanos fired a burst from the Reality Stone, turning him into blocks, taking him out of the fight.

Captain America threw his shield, but Thanos caught it and threw it back at them.

White Canary ducked under the hit and tried to strike, but Thanos punched her high into the air, where she crashed, losing consciousness.

Deckard Shaw tried to punch, but Thanos threw him down with the Power Stone.

Sansa, having picked up Bucky's fallen gun, charged, firing, although Thanos threw her down with the Power Stone.

With a roar, Jason leapt at Thanos, but the Mad Titan caught him by the throat and punched him hard, dazing him as he gasped in pain as he fell down.

Shang-Chi tried to kick, but Thanos kicked him into a tree, knocking him out.

Captain America got back up and leapt, but Thanos slammed him to the ground and hit him with a burst from the Power Stone, finally knocking him out.

Robin Hood fired several arrows at him, but Thanos blew them away and threw Robin Hood down with the Power Stone.

That was when Moon Knight threw a pair of knives, which Thanos deflected with the Space Stone.

He then grabbed Moon Knight by the throat and slammed him to the ground, knocking him out.

With all obstacles out of the way, Thanos then marched towards Wanda and Vision again.

Wanda used one hand to blast Thanos with magic as he used the Infinity Gauntlet to defend himself, being sent back a little but he persisted.

"It's all right. It's all right." Vision assured, "I love you."

The Mind Stone cracked and soon, exploded along with Vision as a small explosion occurred.

The pieces of Vision lay in the forest.

---

Nearby, Morgoth sensed what had happened and before Thor could attack again, hit him with a powerful fireball, sending him down.

"Come with me, Curumo." He said to Saruman as he teleported outside the barrier.

Morgoth, Saruman and Pan then teleported away.

Thor got up angrily and looked around to see Morgoth was gone. He then noticed that Galadriel was dazed.

"Go Thor Odinson. Stop Thanos" she telepathically urged.

Thor nodded and then took flight.

Along the way, he saw Kara staggering to her feet, having finally woken up, with J'onn aiding her.

The two saw Thor and took flight as well.

---

In the forest, Wanda looked down with tears.

"Now is no time to mourn." Thanos said as he walked past her, "Now is no time at all."

He suddenly felt something and used the Space Stone to stop an arrow being fired at him. He threw it down but it was just a distraction.

Jason attacked but Thanos threw him down and kicked him in the head.

And then he pressed his fist as the Time Stone activated.

Thanos used the Time Stone and the pieces reassembled, with Vision being reformed and whole again along with the Mind Stone.

"NO!" Wanda yelled and lunged forward but was smacked away as Thanos lifted Vision by the throat and reaching out, ripped the Mind Stone as a hole was formed in Vision's head and he went pale, dying in Thanos' grip as the Mad Titan tossed him away.

Thanos put the Mind Stone in the Infinity Gauntlet and roared as power surged through him.

Then a huge blast of lightning hit Thanos and sent him flying back. Thor had come!

Thanos fired a powerful beam from all six Infinity Stones powerful enough to destroy a planet but Thor threw Stormbreaker, charged with all of his power and it cut through the beam and lodged itself in Thanos' chest.

Thor flew down in front of Thanos and sneered, "I told you...you'd die for that."

Grabbing Thanos' head, he drove Stormbreaker further into his chest as the Mad Titan yelled in agony.

Kara and J'onn also landed on the ground, next to Thor.

Thor then stopped as Thanos seemed to be saying something to him.

"You should have...You should...You should have gone for the head."

And then he raised his left hand as Thor, Kara and J'onn yelled in horror simultansuly, "NO!"

SNAP!

And Chapter 89 is done. I hope you all enjoyed it.

Once again, there were a major ton of characters involved in this chapter, so anyone who wasn't covered was fighting off-screen.

I suspect that some readers might be disappointed by Takio's death. But notable deaths are needed in order to make any fictional war seem real, especially when those deaths are in direct proportion with the stakes involved.

RIP Takio Maseoshiro. He died a hero.

The Copters and Bilbo being de-aged were taken from Dr Matthatan's story, so thank you to him for those.

In the comics, the Spectre was capable of time manipulation which is why he managed to de-age Bilbo.

You will find out what the True Ice rune was for, but all I will say is that's connected to the Frost Archer.

Here are the list of Earths involved in this chapter:

Earth-1. Home of the Arrowverse, Star Trek, Lucifer, Devil May Cry, Fast and Furious and Final Fantasy.

Earth-2. Home of Jessie Quick and Black Siren.

Earth-38. Home of Supergirl and Keanu Reeve's Constantine.

Earth-96. Home of the 'Kingdom Come' heroes.

Earth-1937. Home of Once Upon A Time.

Earth-2016. Home of Stranger Things.

Earth-2018. Home of A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones.

Earth-199999. Home of the MCU, John Wick and Lord of the Rings.

Now, next chapter will cover the Decimation and will show who gets dusted.

Until next time, review, follow, favourite, stay tuned and tell me what you think of this chapter.
