MUSPELHEIM

The fiery realm of Muspelheim was not spared from the power of Thanos' gauntlet. With Asgard destroyed Surtur is the undisputed ruler of the Nine or rather Eight Realms. A portal opens and Thanos emerges from it. When he does the Firelings run and hide from the Mad Titan, his reputation known among the denizens of Muspelheim. He walks across the under dwellings toward Surtur who sits on his throne. As Thanos approaches Surtur sits up.

"Thanos…The Mad Titan! Have you come to bow to the King of the Eight Realms?"

"I now understand the riddle of death…But you killed the personification of death…"

Surtur stands up, "You speak of the arrogant bitch! Hela…Yes she died at my hands…And so shall you if you do not bow…"

"Why should I bow?"

The flames of Surtur's body get bigger and he starts to change size. Now he is a giant, "This is why you should bow Mad Titan…" His flaming sword appears in his hand. The soul and reality stones on Thanos' gauntlet start glowing. Surtur bends his face down to Thanos "Last chance Titan…Bow to me…"

Thanos punches Surtur in the jaw and he falls back into his throne crushing it and cracking the wall. He spits magma like blood from his mouth. "You have sealed your doom Thanos…" Surtur stands up and swings his sword with both hands in an overhead attack. Thanos raises his left hand and stops the sword. His body starts glowing red and he grows into a giant standing shoulder to shoulder with Surtur. Thanos snaps Surtur's sword and punches him in the gut.

Then he grabs the fire spawn by the crown, slams him against the wall and punches him in the face with his gauntlet covered hand. He grabs Surtur by the neck and throws him down, then he points the Infinity Gauntlet at the Fire King drawing his power away. Surtur starts to shrink and return to his normal size. Thanos steps on him and that is when a horde of Firelings break cover and swarm Thanos.

Thanos sneers and unleashes a wave of power, now everything in Muspelheim is covered in ice and the Firelings are frozen solid. Thanos returns to his normal size and grabs Surtur by the crown again. He rips the crown off Surtur's head and breaks it in half. "That fight was very disappointing…" Thanos says and leaves Muspelheim.

THE SOVEREIGN HOME WORLD

The Dark Star appears in the skies of the Sovereign homeworld. Triangle shaped ships detach from the Dark Star and smash into the ground unleashing hordes of Or troops. Ebony Maw and the members of the Black Order float down to the surface via his telekinesis. When they land Ebony points his hand at a section of the city and unleashes a massive wave of telekinetic energy. Five city blocks along with all the buildings are leveled instantly. Ebony Maw floats into the air and starts flying towards the Tower of the High Priestess.

SOVEREIGN HIGH COMMAND

The command center is in chaos when Councilor One enters, "Order! All of you come to Order now…"

It gets quiet, "Councilor…We have calculated a 100% probability that the Black Order is after the Birthing Chamber of Adam Warlock…"

"Right release the Sovereign Guard…"

Dressed in golden armor the Sovereign guard storms the Or forces and cut through them with perfect precision. The outclass the savagery of the Or at every turn fighting with swords, blasters, and blaster riffles

THE BLACK ORDER

Proxima Midnight, Corvus Glaive, Black Dwarf, Black Swan, and Elf Supreme a new member stand at the rear of the army watching, "This is not good…" Proxima says as a beam shoots over their heads and blows up a transport.

"The Sovereign live up to their reputation…" Black Dwarf says.

Proxima looks at Corvus, "Corvus my dear it is time we show them the power Lord Thanos has granted us…"

Corvus nods and starts running through the rear guard of the Or forces. As he runs his body splits and he becomes ten. The ten become a hundred, and the one hundred multiply into a thousand. By the time Corvus reaches the front lines he has multiplied himself into an army of one million. His duplicates attack with speed and strength beyond any of the Sovereign Guard army.

Proxima looks at Black Dwarf, "Lets teach the Sovereign a lesson…Take down their precious Alpha Generator and Apex Chamber…"

Black Dwarf runs a few feet and leaps through the air at the Alpha Generator. As he flies through the air a shield goes up around the dome. He hits the dome and bounces off. When Black Dwarf hits the ground he makes a crater. He stands up as the Sovereign Swords attack him. They are just as tall as Black and are adorned in Silver armor.

HIGH PRIESTESS AYESHA

She stands on the balcony watching as Ebony Maw flies towards her. She rushes inside and starts tapping on her arm computer, "Computer lock down the Citadel tower…"

"Tower in lock down mode…Activating defensive grid…" The Computer replies.

"Vylee where are you with those fools…" She says staring at Adam's birthing chamber.

VYLEE AND ROCKET'S MERGED SHIP

The merged ship exits hyperspace and it cloaks. Vylee is piloting the ship with Rocket as a copilot. "Dam!"

"What's wrong?" Steve asks.

"It's the Black Order they are attacking on the planet surface…I calculate a 93% probability that someone from Earth told Thanos about Adam Strange…"

"Who?"

"I will access your internet and every computer network on your planet later to determine the culprit…I am hypothesizing but this person may have magical abilities…"

"Hey can you tell me what the next winning lottery numbers are…" Tony asks.

"8…15…33…39…41…45…" Vylee says spouting numbers, "There is an extra number you call the power ball…19…"

"Holy shit…"

"No more jokes…" Steve says. "The Black Order being here changes the game…"

"You have no idea…I have Calculated a 83% probability that Thanos has enhanced the Black Order with the Infinity Stones…They are more powerful then the last time you faced them…"

"So are we…" Thor says.

"It's us or them…I say we kill them all…" Nebula says speaking up.

"No!" Steve says, "Our top priority is to get Adam Warlock's birthing chamber…Nothing else matters…Wasp stay out of sight and get to the High Priestess…Thor, She-Hulk, Captain Marvel take down the heavy hitters…The rest of us take on the rest…Hawkeye find a high place and do what you do best…"

"I can teleport you all down…" Vylee says.

SURFACE OF THE SOVEREIGN HOMEWORLD

Ebony Maw reaches the Citadel Tower of the High Priestess. He points his hand at it, but Thor appears in front of via a teleportation beam. "Stay thy hand servant of Thanos for you face the Mighty Thor…"

"Thor son of Odin King of Asgard or what's left of it…"

"Die Monster!"

Thor hurls his war axe Udrin'Var, but Maw holds his hand out stopping the axe. He thrusts his hand down and slams Udrin'Var to the ground. Thor blasts him with lightening from his hands. Maw places a telekinetic shield up, but it starts to waver. He teleports and reappears behind Thor and a kinetic punch he sends flying into a building. He grabs the building with his mind and brings it down on Thor burying him.

("Those Earthlings are here…Thee Avengers…") Maw says telepathically to the others. Udrin'Var flies off the ground to the rubble as lightening arcs through the debris. With an explosion Thor rises up catching his war axe. "You are a formidable opponent Asagrdian, but this must end…" His eyes start glowing blue and Maw overthrows Thor's mind. "Attack your friends…" He commands.

Thor spots Iron Man diving on the army of Corvus and hurls a bolt of lightening at him. "Um guys Thor just chucked a bolt of lightening at me…"

"His mind is being controlled…" Vylee says over the COM, "Maw can probably control minds use your sonic emitters and turn them to level six at 9.7 cycles…"

Iron flies at Thor, "Friday are we ready…"

"Ready boss…" Iron Man blasts Thor with the emitters. He drops Udrin'Var and grabs the sides of his head. Then he falls from the sky and hits the ground.

"Thor is down someone pull him of the field…" It is Vylee who teleports him away. Then Iron man flies at Ebony Maw. Maw kinetically grabs him and starts ripping his armor off. At the last minute Tony blasts him with a uni-beam from his chest arc. He deflects the blast with his hand and the beam hits a building. Maw drops him, but Vylee teleports him to safety.

That is when Maw is tackled out of the air by Nebula. He tries to throw her off, "That won't work on me brother…Telekinetic energy is related to electricity and my cybernetics can conduct a lot of kinetic energy…Now die again…"

Hawkeye is in a tree shooting arrows into enemy forces. His arrows are more advanced because of Rocket. He now has freeze, gravity, multi-missile, black hole, acid, poison, laser burst, sonic, and hologram arrows. "Man I am loving these arrows…"

Natasha is fighting Proxima Midnight who is stronger faster, more agile, and has a healing factor now. Natasha hits the ground from a punch. "Lord Thanos has improved us from the last time we fought humie…"

"I have some upgrades as well…" Natasha turns a dial on her belt and the ridges in her suit start glowing allowing her to match Proxima's speed and strength.

Across the battle field Black Dwarf tries to destroy the Apex Generator, but Captain Marvel flies down tackling him, they smash through the street and into the utility tunnels. He picks up Captain Marvel and punches her. "Kree abomination…" He says as Captain Marvel goes flying back up through the street into the air and hits a building.

Black Dwarf leaps out of the utility tunnels only to find the She-Hulk. "Hellow tall dark and ugly…" She punches him in the face and sends Black Dwarf flying into a group of Or and Corvus duplicates. She-Hulk leaps at him and lands as Dwarf gets to his feet. When she throws a punch he catches her fist.

"You are strong for a green female freak…"

"You say such the sweetest things…" Dwarf brings her over and slams She-Hulk into the ground. Then he puts a knee in her chest and starts punching her in the face. "You…" she says in between punches. "…are…making…me…ANGRY!" Her eyes glow green even where the whites are and She-Hulk kicks Dwarf in between his legs. Then she lifts him up over her head and throws him into one of the Or transports. Captain Marvel flies at the transport and blasts it with beams from her hands blowing it up.

Steve Rogers Captain America faces off against multiple Corvus and Black Swann. He throws his shield at one of the Corvus and drop kicks Black Swann. As Cap gets to his feet his shield returns. "Hey Vylee can you locate the real one…"

"Hold on you human specimen of perfection…" She blasts Corvus from orbit disrupting his concentration and the Corvus army vanishes. "Wasp what is your status…" He asks fighting Black Swann. Rocket flies through the air with his jet pack blasting Or soldiers.

"I am within range now…"

Ayesha stands on a platform and her royal armor rises up. She stands by the birthing chamber and points her guns at the door. That is when Wasp appears, "Who are you?"

"My name is Wasp…I am here to help…"

"Do you use that suit to adjust the atoms of your body to change size?"

"Yes I do…"

"I must stop underestimating you humans…I suppose you can shrink things as well?"

"Yes…Lets go…" Wasp shrinks the Birthing pod, then Ayesha and finally herself, "Guys I have the package in hand time to split…"

"Everyone fall back!" Steve says flipping over Swann as she is hit with a freeze arrow. Captain Marvel flies down and scoops him up, as She-Hulk leaps away from the battle. Hawkeye is teleported and then the rest back to the merged ship and they leave.

SOVEREIGN COMMAND CENTER

"My Lord those inferior humans have escaped with Adam's birthing pod…"

"Let me guess…Our own High Priestess aided them?" Transmit me to the Black Order, "Servants of Thanos…I am the Chief Council of the Sovereign high Council…Our own High Priestess has betrayed us…If you are amendable we stop all hostilities and work for a common good…"

("What do have in mind?") Ebony Maw asks telepathically.
