EARTH TI-01

TEMPLIN INSTITUTE
Calling it Hell would have been wrong. Sure there was pain and heat and loads of screaming, but Hell was purposeful. When you end up in Hell, you end up because of your actions. As this world erupted, it was not just the guilty that were suffering.
The shaking was near-constant, and anywhere you stood on the surface of the world could hear all sorts of disasters.
The Curator and the Daemon were under fire as lava erupted around them. The Curator held out a large metal hammer, once owned by the god Hephaestus. It was a tool imbued by divine energies. The issue of divine items used by mortals was that divinity, by definition, means lacking humanity. Any human who uses them risks losing their humanity and taking on traits of divine beings; such items must be used sparingly. The Curator's skin turned gray as he gained the volcano god's resistance to heat. Urging it on with his magic Alexis was holding back the planetary damage as best he could. But even a god could not hold back the planet from breaking apart. The hammer was only working too well because Alexis and whatever remained of the god both didn't want to die in a massive explosion.
Scarlett was manipulating the heat away from them as best as she could. The majority of airships gave up and flew to presumed safety. The Daemon lived up to her name as she dodged around the lava. The corset she wore suddenly shimmered as a pattern formed on it; she felt a pull towards Alexis.
They wanted to be together if this would be the end.

Cracks were forming on the reinforced walls.
"Transfer!" Sakura pulled out one of her clear cards.
This card allowed her to change the position of two objects. In this case, the group for a bunch of equipment on the other side of the shield.
Now next to controls, the other tried to figure out how to shut them down quickly. The technology was several centuries ahead of regular human tech, and there were similarities, but it was like getting a Crusader to try and work a cell phone.
Sam looked through the messages, "He didn't tell us how to shut it down."
"Great!" Tony shouted. "You give us a plan but don't give us the last step. What did you want us to do?" He glared at the TDS.
Sam then thought of something, "Uh, Alexis, I haven't known him long but…."
"Yeah, a bit weird, don't know how much is the Snap and how much is him. I get the feeling he's pretty much-"
"No, I meant, his plans aren't all that complicated. This whole plan was just getting us access to the computer. He was giving them information in exchange, and he was lying to protect himself. And this plan was a distraction to get us here when they wouldn't trust us."
Tony could smack himself. "It's simple but gets complicated. We're overthinking this. We just have to make it stop working - Break it!"
He held out a pulse reactor, and Sam held out her zat, and they both fired as it felt like the room was about to collapse.

The group collapsed onto the ground, surrounded by lush forest.
There was a nearby river, and Alexis and Scarlett threw themselves into it, Alexis dropping the hammer. His skin started to revert to normal.
Tony was about to scold them about his lack of explanation when he stopped himself. They were both covered in ash and soot and red, and the water was steaming off them. They were desperately drinking the water and splashing the water themselves.
Sakura went over to fan them off. Even Kero suggested she use her cards.
"What's happening here?" Sam asked after a minute.
Around them, covered in overgrown plant life, were statues of people, realistic as anything but naked and some in poses like walking others in terror.
I can explain.
Scout's message came over the TDS devices.
First off, are you guys okay? We picked up when you were in danger and yanked you out.
"We're fine," Tony confirmed, "More or less, tell Martha we might have two people suffering from heatstroke." He scanned the odd statues and got some weird readings. "Now, why are we here?"
Safety, we pulled you into another universe in case the Templin was tracking you. We sent you to a safe universe we found.
"The statues?"
We aren't sure. This Earth seems to be running ahead of us; it's roughly 3700 years in the future. We aren't sure, there aren't any signs of magic, and I couldn't find much in the way of tech. There might have been a radio signal somewhere on the Moon, but we lost it. I think I picked up an AI in orbit, but it didn't seem to be active. The best I could deduce was that something in the early 21 century caused all of humanity to turn into statues all at once.
"Everyone?" Sakura gasped.
Maybe, our scans haven't detected human life. Either everyone is a statue, or any surviving humans are so primitive and so few we can't pick them up. While an exciting mystery. This place was deemed that it didn't have much to offer on our quest to stop Thanos.
Tony hated to leave an entire planet like this, but they had a point.
Tony sighed, "We're heading back in a minute," He looked over to the pair, still trying to cool themselves.
ETHERIA S-RPP-1113 (DESPONDOS .03)
THE BRIGHT MOON KINGDOM
BRIGHT MOON CASTLE
What remained of the rebellion was prepared in the impromptu lab. Entrapta tried to finish up the last touches on the portal.
"Are you sure you want to come?" Adora asked Glimmer. "I mean, shouldn't you stay here and be Queen?"
Glimmer shook her head, "If there is a chance to figure out what's going on? A chance to get everyone back, I have to go." She turned to her friend. "Besides, the Horde is gone; all the issues from the disappearances …well, there isn't as much fighting. Spinella, Mermista, and Frosta are here and holding things together. I told them, and they will help out with any issues here."
"She has to come," Entrapta perked up, "It's her connection to the Moonstone that might get us back."
"Might?" Adora picked up on that word.
Entrapta snorted, "Maybe, I mean, this is a whole new science I'm working with. The moonstone is giving us the extra kick we need to make it there. If Glimmer's connection holds, she might be able to pull us back."
Adora cringed at the plan, "Again, might, maybe we should wait until-"
"We can't," Entrapta interrupted, "I got some coordinates from the files the Horde left. It's not enough, and I had to use the energy signature I found in the files to try and get us closer. I still think we will be off but much closer. The energy signature is fading, and if we wait too much longer, we won't be able to do it at all."
"We could be showing up in the middle of the Horde's new base."
"We do it," Glimmer insisted.
Entrapta activated the portal.
All those present stared at the swirling energy; Adora gulped, just hoping this wouldn't end up like the last portal.
The computer screens all flashed a message none of them saw.
EARTH M-199999
NEW YORK CITY, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
AVENGER'S COMPOUND
Babysitting duty wasn't the most popular job on the compound. Their machines mainly were taking care of everything.
Considering that they had their computer shut down by an outside source, it was probably a good idea to have someone present. Plus, if someone wanted to talk to a living person, it was good to have anyone on hand.
Rose Wilson The Ravager and Amy Allen the Bombshell were picked together. They hated each other, but they were stuck together and given explicit orders not to fight each other.
Rose just spent the time sharpening her sword. Amy, for her sake, was using the computer to see what the differences in this world were from hers. Much of the history seemed the same; World War two showed the first significant sign of superheroes. In her world, it was the emergence of the Justice Society. Here, it was just Captain America. However, she found some rumors of other superhumans at that time, nothing much. It was hard to say what the significant differences were. Her Earth might have been bigger; her Earth had more countries. Sure this Earth had a few hers didn't, but they still seemed like more places.
"Sorry, won't be a moment," Missy walked in and began to connect a device to the controls,
Kirby followed her along and handed her a tool.
"Thank you,"
"Po?"
"No, they're working on the new computer. They don't need me."
"Yopo yo?"
"It's the readings; they're off. I have a theory that just needs to be confirmed with a quick scan of their universe."
"Po?"
"No, not the whole thing,"
Amy was confused, they all had a device that bridged language gaps, but Kirby sounded like gibberish to everyone except for two people. "Wait, can you understand him? It just sounds like po to me."
Missy blinked; she remembered when they met Kirby, she heard that too, and if when spending second thinking, that's what she heard but now understood him. Missy looked at Kirby, "What are you doing, my pink friend?" She patted his head, "Telepathy? No, I'm too good for it to happen unnoticed. A metaphysical con-"
"Popo yo."
"Oh? That's a bit anti-climatic."
"Po"
"Oh, just because you see us as friends?"
"Yo"
Missy patted his head once again and brought a smile to Kirby, "Fine, fine. You're not in trouble. Still, it doesn't explain how a small pink thing like you is doing it."
"Poyo"
"I don't know if 'I just do' is a good explanation,"
Both Rose and Amy shared a confused look, unsure if this woman understood him or might be crazy, or possibly both.
Hey! Guys, we have an issue! Someone is coming in! They aren't replying to my messages.
One of the gates ignited with energy, and three people tumbled out.
Both Amy and Rose jumped at the chance to fight at these uninvited guests. Amy let silver metal grow on her skin, covering her up as they rushed to fight as a shield formed around the three and the gate.
Missy pressed a big red button on the controls and informed the girls, "We added a shield since last time," Missy looked at the trio, "It is very rude to enter a place without knocking."
"How about this for knocking?" Glimmer grabbed her friends and just reported outside the shield knocking Bombshell away.
"Teleporter?" Missy mused, mildly impressed.
Ravager slashed at them, with Adora blocking the attack with her sword.
Adora grit her teeth, "For the honor of Grayskull."
In a flash of golden light, Adora transformed into She-Ra and pressed Ravager back. As the swords clashed, Bombshell had found her trouble. Glimmer teleported around her and blasted her. Bombshell tried to blast her back but found her target gone before she had a chance. The magic attacks were hurting her even with her metal skin.
Missy sighed, seeing that this battle would last for a while, "Switch partners!"
The two teen heroes got the message and did it. Though they certainly didn't like each other, both worked on the same team before, so they at least knew when to do something to get out of a situation.
Bombshell quickly found herself in front of She-ra as she brought down her sword. Bombshell grabbed the sword mid-air, a move She-Ra hadn't expected. Also, it was a move that likely would have harmed or killed anyone not covered in metal. She-Ra struggled to move her sword; they both had super strength. Bombshell smiled as she got an idea, energy wrapped her hands, and soon the sword began to heat up. She-Ra was tougher in this form, but eventually, the heated metal was too much to handle.
"Ow!" She-Ra let go of the sword, and Bombshell used the chance to blast her into a wall.
As she collided with the wall, She-Ra changed back into Adora.
Ravager managed to dodge the first two blasts Glimmer shot out. And Glimmer managed to teleport before she got sliced by the sword. Getting annoyed, the one-eyed teen took a deep breath and focused.
Glimmer teleported next to her to attack, but the instant she did, Ravager punched her in the head, knocking her out. Besides being someone with incredible reflexes, Ravager could also get visions of the immediate future, so teleporting a surprise attack wasn't going to work.
Missy clapped her hands and walked past them and tapped on Entrapta's shoulder.
"Hello," Missy gave her smile,
Entrapta blinked, her hair kept tapping on the shield, "Ooh~ An energized force shield! And an entire array system of portal devices!"
Missy smirked, "You are clearly the smart one. Would you care to talk?"
"Poyo?"
"Yes, would you also like a snack?"
"Yes! Do you have any small cupcakes? I'm in the mood for a tiny cupcake. And can you tell me how you got a force shield like this?!"
GIZA, EGYPT
SAHARA DESERT
Deadpool couldn't stay; he'd just be waiting where he couldn't do anything. The girl was alive. Katara and Rose were able to heal her, but that wasn't enough. While they could repair the damage, they couldn't replace fluids or anything. Martha was working on her, trying to keep her stable and give her a chance to bounce back. It looked like gem magic wasn't enough to fix all the damage. For some reason, the girl's temperature was still very high, and they were giving her liquids.
So Wade went off to try and recruit someone. Deserts weren't his favorite places.
"It's the sand, it's coarse, rough, and it gets everywhere."
No, you didn't.
"I am worried about a kid and walking into a sandstorm. Let me have this!"
Fine.
Right, anyway, he walked into a strange sandstorm. Wade was trying to track down someone FRIDAY picked up on. Something was happening in Egypt, and someone was taking down some sort of monster.
Wade headed into the sand storm that had been going on for a few days, seemingly focused solely on the pyramids. Which also happened to be the direction the monster had headed towards. Wade headed there, deciding that was probably a good place to look for someone who fights monsters.
The trek through the sandstorm was unpleasant, but soon he found something in the center of the sandstorm. A pyramid he was sure wasn't on any tourist maps.
"Okay, this is weird," Wade noted as he entered. There were dead bodies. "But like double dead. I was not hoping to deal with zombies."
As he walked deeper into the pyramid, he found more and more dead bodies, some looking like they had been dead for days, and some looked like they would fit in a museum. They all had a lot of damage done to them.
"Remember to aim for the head, Wilson," Wade had his gun out and ready. He'd seen too many zombie films to let down his guard.
Wade walked carefully and quietly, checking every corner before stepping forward. Also, double-checking for traps, this was still an ancient pyramid and ignoring the zombie vibes, and he wasn't going to ignore lessons from Dr. Jones.
0000
Deep in the center of the pyramid, there were hundreds of the undead watching one man. Well, calling him a man would be considered very generous. The man's body was covered in bandages, but his face was clear as day. The skin was dried and hollow, showing centuries of decay. Two pale white orbs served as his eyes as his wide grin smiled. He stood before a bonfire and a platform that held a golden orb.
He was chanting ancient words as the orb glowed.
Standing behind a pillar was a young woman, loading her gun. She wore an orange jumpsuit, a gray trench coat. Her long red hair was tied in a ponytail. Her black boots matched her belt, which held several weapons.
"Bloody hell," She whispered, her English accent hanging in the air.
"So, what's happening, English?" Deadpool asked.
She pointed the end of her gun at his face, but Deadpool effortlessly edged it away. "Look, I get it. People like shooting me, but can we not," He whispered, "I'm guessing you don't want to alert a zombie horde with a gunshot."
She relented and lowered her gun.
"Good, so, maybe you can fill me in on what's happening,"
"Fine, listen closely. We don't have much time." She sighed, "When everyone started to vanish, it had unseen effects on magic and other things hidden in the dark. One such thing is him," she motioned to the man by the fire, "His name is Rakses, he was a necromancer in ancient Egypt. A powerful one if you believe the legends, one so powerful that he made sure he couldn't die. He was a terror on the ancient kingdom. A high priest put a sleeping spell on him, hoping he'd never wake up. Left with no other option, the ancient Egyptians buried him in a pyramid; which was then buried."
"And then he woke up when people vanished?" Deadpool waggered.
"Whatever spells they had on the pyramid broke down, and he escaped, waking up his followers. They went into town, killing any bloke they found and turning them. They were looking for the orb. It's the Orb of Ra, with great mystic abilities; with it he can raise all the dead in Egypt tonight, by the end of the week everyone in the continent. By the end of the month, he'd raise an army of the dead over the whole world."
"Okay, so yeah, that sounds bad. So, just making sure, if I get bitten, I won't turn, right?"
"No, this is necromancy, not some virus."
"And taking out his head would stop him?"
"Yeah, he'll heal, but without a working brain, he can't finish the spell. Which I gotta remind you he's in the middle of, we've got like three minutes."
"How are you with a sword, and can I borrow your shotgun?"
0000
"Hey, Brendan Fraiser!" Deadpool yelled.
The undead Horde turned to look at Deadpool, "Say hello to my-"
The Horde charged at him, "Let me finish the quote!"
Deadpool began to fire every gun he had while aiming for the heads. Once he was out of bullets, he tossed the weapon away and used the next one. He was taking dozens of zombies out, but it was a losing battle when there were hundreds against one.
Out of bullets, he used his swords, slicing as many down as he could. One of the zombies grabbed his arm and ripped it out.
Soon the undead jumped onto him, tearing him apart.
Rakses looked on content, not realizing that he left himself open, moving his guards away. The red-haired woman charged at him with the katana leaned to her by Deadpool.
Rakses raised his arm to cast a spell; that was, his eyes caught a glint of a red gemstone resting on a choker on her neck.
He felt its power, and he knew its legend. He saw a faint red glow as she swung her sword, cutting off his head. The ancient necromancer was torn apart by red energy and dissolved into dust before his head collapsed onto the ground.
She looked shocked, "I guess the legend was a bit overblown,"
The horde of zombies dropped to the ground.
She looked saddened, "Well, whoever you were, red fellow we did it."
"Hey, mind getting me out of here!" She heard Deadpool's muffled voice.
She hurried to pull off the bodies of him; she found him torn apart.
"How are you still alive? The shock should have killed you alone."
"Yeah, not much of an issue. I heal fast; now, if you could help me re-attach my parts in, I can heal up faster."
She did, and he duct-taped his suit together, Deadpool using this time to explain why he came.
"You want me to join the Avengers?"
"Well, I think I'm part of the Avengers. We haven't made it official, but I'm practically a member."
"Yeah, you want me to join your dimensional league to help fight a purple alien who killed half of the population?"
"Yup,"
"You are daft; I'm flattered. But I'm a monster hunter, and I'm not looking to get involved in the cosmic stuff."
"Well, we're all in it. Don't tell me you aren't. We all lost people. Who did you lose?"
She was quiet for a moment, "My brother…he vanished in front of me."
"This is our best chance to get everyone back. I'll be the first to say it's not a huge chance, but it's the only one we got. Every bit of help is something. By the way, I didn't get your name."
"Elsa, Elsa Bloodstone."
Deadpool stretched, letting his muscles fuse, "Wade Wilson, people, call me Deadpool."
"Scraping the bottom of the barrel with that name."
"Yeah, well, Miss Monster Hunter, everyone can help. We got a guy who turns his blood into weapons, a guy who shoots arrows, a kid who cancels out magic with his hand. I should call him; he's in Korea hunting a kitsune."
"In Korea?"
"Yeah, we think someone has been fighting it, protecting people, so we sent to-"
"Are you sure it's a kitsune?" She grabbed him in a panic.
"Yeah, it's a fox lady, kitsune. Look, I watch some anime, but the kid is Japanese and confirmed it, so-"
"You idiot, Kitsune are tricksters, usually harmless unless cornered or a rare violent one."
"Yeah and-"
"They live in Japan. Kumiho live in Korea. Kumiho are magical masochists. They choose to toy with people and tear them apart slowly. They were so bad they were purposely hunted to extinction after one killed a whole village in a night. I thought they were extinct. The last one I heard of was a hundred years ago. I don't care what your friend can do. If he's near one, he's as good as dead."
"SHIT!"

AMITY PARK, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
FENTON WORKS
Danny quickly managed to reach his mom and Sam.
"What's going on?" Sam couldn't help but ask.
"This is just a guess," Maddie pondered, "I think the barriers between our world and the ghost zone just collapsed."
"Please tell me we didn't do this," Danny asked.
"No, I mean, I don't think so," Maddie told them, "The Ghost Portal has similar mechanics, but the math behind it is different. It would be like trying to draw blood out of a vein and somehow stabbing a heart. You have to mess very badly to do that."
They watched as green merged with the blue of the sky, the sky flickering as the realms of the ghost zone started to blend into the world.
"Is that our house?" Maddie pointed out to the sky where Fenton Works was floating upwards as things started to tumble out slowly.
"We need to head up there and get the Spectre Speeder and as many of our tools as we can. Then we have to find the Doctor and Dani quickly." There was a strange urgency and fear in her voice, "I'm not, and Heaven helps us. I hope I'm wrong, but we might need their help."
The teens looked at each other before flying upwards, and they quickly grabbed all the loose tech into the Spectre Speeder. Maddie checked the portal, but it was damaged, so it wasn't going to work.
They went out to find the others.
0000
Dani and the Doctor looked on as a madness unfolded before them. The Doctor felt a chill go down her spine, "That's the second time in this week I've felt that,"
Dani noticed a puff of blue air escape her lips.
They heard a growl just in time to turn around to see something furry and pounce on them.
Dani tried to fight back but quickly got pushed to the ground, but instead of getting eaten, she found a wet nose sniffing her.
"Huh?"
A wolfman in a green prisoner suit looked at them, confused.
"Vi odoras kiel mia amiko Danny."
"What?" Dani asked.
"Oh! Esperanto! I speak it. I helped them invent it." The Doctor explained, "Never really took off." She smiled, "He said you smell like my friend Danny."
"You know Danny?"
The Wolf ghost nodded.
As they got up, the Doctor smiled, "Well, we're friends with him too. Well, I just met him. And she is- well, long story. Now that I think of it, you should really talk to my daughter." She found her attention drawn to a swirling portal behind them, and it started to flicker and twitch.
"Ĝi kutime ne faras tion."
The Doctor scanned the portal with her sonic screwdriver. "…"
The two ghosts looked as they saw what could only be horror on the time lady's face.
"We have less than a minute to find the others!"
"Doctor!" Maddie's voice came out as the Spectre Speedster rose to meet them." I think-"
The Doctor fiddled with her TDS and opened a portal, "Go! Go now!"
Maddie didn't wait for another second and rushed through, and the Doctor shoved in the two ghosts. The Doctor paused for a moment looking back at the world as the sky flickered.
"I'm sorry," She jumped in and closed the portal.

The materialized on the platform, and the Doctor rushed towards the controls.
"Danny?" The new ghost asked.
Danny only said, "Wulf?" He looked at his mom, "Oh, this is Wulf. He's a friend."
"Saluton," Wulf tried to give her a friendly grin and waved.
"Doctor," Starfire smiled as she greeted her; she was filling in for the others, "Missy wanted me to leave you a message 'managed to solve a situation without removing any eyes' I think that was good."
"Honestly, that was pretty good for her." The Doctor rushed past her and checked on the computers.
Maddie quickly chased after her. "Doctor, I believe-"
"Two-dimensions just collided with each other, and that is not supposed to happen. You can't just fit two spaces in one space."
"Wait, what happened?" Danny asked.
"We can't access your world," The Doctor admitted, "A mini-big crunch, energy from two-dimensions has torn up the dimension. If we didn't leave when we did, we wouldn't leave." The Doctor clapped her hands, "Hello," She looked at the alien, "Can you help them settle in? I need to talk to Missy and look at some results. Twice is a line; I need to know before its three and forms a pattern."
She ran as fast as she could.
Maddie looked on, "Our home is gone,"

In a greenish mess of light and energy, nothing remained but that raw energy. Two worlds had merged, and all that was left now was just pure energy.
There was a flash of light, and the robot Vexus materialized holding a modified Ecto-Converter, and she turned it on. As the machine hummed, it sucked in energy and quickly absorbed mountains of energy.
"Oh, this is almost too easy. It was a little thievery and rigging that- what did they name it- Ghost Portal- just to give things a nudge. We will have a dimension's worth of energy in no time."
EARTH T-A-2007
DETROIT, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
SUMDAC TOWER
Things had quickly turned into a three-way battle Death's Head aimed his weapon at Evil Sari, "Speak now or-"
"Not!" Sari jetted up at him, firing everything she could.
Death's Head wasn't caught off guard and fired back as Sari began to dodge the attacks mid-flight. She transformed her arm into a shield to block a blast she couldn't avoid. Death's Head reacted by punching the shield hard enough to knock it out of the air. He jumped after to continue the fight.
Bulkhead moved to protect the professor, and Iron Hide rushed in. Prowl fired off ninja stars as Cheetor pulled out his energy saw to use it as a shield as he jumped in front of Botanica and Rattletrap.
"I thought you said this slag of a planet was supposed to be safe," Rattletrap yelled out.
"Prowl? Is he a clone? He was supposed to have died." Botanica noted.
She did notice the strangeness of Autobot heroes. As their fight broke out an evil Optimus rushed at Iron Hide, and Slipstream fired at Bulkhead. Bumblebee took a few steps back, hoping to avoid the battle, thought giggling creepily as he did. He fell backward and then saw Bulkhead trying to protect a human. He saw him as an easy target. With his stingers ready, he rushed in only to find someone blocking him.
Arcee showed up, and she wasn't much of a fighter. After all, she was a teacher. She stayed behind while the others went along, but as things got more hectic, she jumped to help. Arcee quickly slashed the stingers and kicked the coward bot away, moving to defend Bulkhead's blindside.
Sari and Death's Head collided with the ground creating a spider web-like crack.
Death's Head held out a device, "You are covered in the energy pattern I've been trying to track. It's strongest I've seen-"
Sari managed to rapid-fire blast him away from her, "Okay, you want to know? I'll let you know as I tear you limb from limb!"
She screamed as her dual chainsaws popped out, and she charged.
0000
Things weren't going much better with the good Sari. She was forcing herself to shake off being knocked out by a falling building as Ratchet and Optimus tried to fight off this strange opponent. Ratchet tried to use his electromagnet to blast it away, and it almost worked before it turned its arms into a blade and used them to jab into the ground.
"You're tenacious; I'll give you that," Ratchet growled,
They raised their arms, and they turned into copies of his electromagnets, and it fired them, sending the older bot into the sky.
Optimus was happy he still had on the jet back Sumdac made for him, and he and Sari took into the air. Optimus barely caught him before he crashed onto the ground.
Ratchet let out, "I think I'll leave the flying to you two."
Optimus had to say, "We better fall back to Sumdac Tower. At least try to figure out what we are fighting."
As they flew away, their opponent watched before a jet back grew on their back.
0000
Death's Head managed to land a mace into Sari's gut, hurling her back.
Like a wild dog, Sari growled, "I'm going to rip your head off your body."
"I was about to say the same thing unless you tell me where they are?"
"Ha! I wouldn't tell you, and you have no idea what's waiting for you at the end of your road. I almost want to tell you to see the look on your metal face. To see you broken down and turned to rust!"
"You!" Good Sari roared, rushing towards her double.
"You? You're still alive?! This isn't my day!" Evil Sari grumbled.
The Space Bridge shook, and lightning arched off it.
"Hehe, he he!" Evil Sari giggled, "Okay, never mind, it's finally kicking in. Team time to roll out!"
She pulled a device, "Thank you, Davros! Bye, won't see you again!"
"Robots!" A shrill scream filled the air, and flying towards them was the screaming mystery bot.
"You blew my line!" Evil Sari rushed them with saws out.
There was a screech of metal, they both fell to the ground.
"Ha! I finally got someone's head! Ow"
Sari had a sharp blade in her side, but this mysterious robot's head fell off, splattering Sari with a dark red liquid.
"Huh? Is it blood? No, it's too dark and … metallic? Whatever? I'm done." She pressed the button on the device and vanished in a flashlight along with her team.
The odd body collapsed to the ground, but they didn't have time to linger on that as the building shook.
Ratchet was running a scan, "Oh no! We are getting some serious power build-up!"
Bulk Head and the Professors both looked at the controls and computer.
"This is very bad, very bad," The professor looked at the readings.
Bulkhead explained, "They did something to the Space Bridge; the power is feeding back into it."
"Undo it!" Ratchet yelled.
"Not possible," Professor Sumdac confirmed, "if we interrupt the circuit, it explodes now."
"The only good that will do is prevent more power from building up," Bulkhead considered it. "If we do that, we might be able to save the city. The explosion will still release a massive EMP; it will fry every machine on the planet for the next year. That includes us.
"If we do this now," The professor added, "this entire block will be destroyed, but everyone else-"
"Do it," Optimus told him; he didn't hesitate.
"We can try and get-"Sari suggested.
"No time to run, kid," Ratchet admitted. "If we wait to get a safe distance, it will grow big enough to take out the city. We can't get anywhere fast enough to make a difference."
Rattletrap wasn't anywhere near that self-sacrificing but saw the Space Bridge was in no working order, and there was nowhere they could run in time.
He took Botanica's hand in his and looked in her optics. If he was going to go out, at least the last thing he'd see was her.
As light ripped through the air and the building shook, they spent their last few moments in silence. After all, what was there to say in a time like this.
Professor Isaac hugged his daughter, he wished he could tell her how much he loved her or how proud he was of her, but he wouldn't have had the time even if he had years.
Arcee turned to Ratchet, and they shared a pained smile.
Bulkhead was about to smash the modified part of the bridge, and it would be over after that. Optimus watched, he hated that this would kill his team and everyone here, but he saw no other way. At least he wouldn't need to live with the shame. The building felt like it was about to crumble already.
Ignored Death's Head called his bike to him when a message beeped on it.
"Yes?" He could almost laugh at the response. He took out a small rectangular device.
Bulk Head smashed and felt the entire tremble as energy began to leak out. The sensation of falling suddenly overcame them.

AVENGER'S COMPOUND
Kim Possible greeted Gwen and Terra.
"Kim?" Gwen asked, "I didn't think you were on guard duty."
"I'm filling in; it's been a hectic day. Rose and Amy got into a fight with princesses, the Doctor was freaked out over something, and Kory had to show the new guests around."
Scout beeped up on a screen.
Uh, you might want to stand back. We got some people coming in hot!
The HUB began to activate, and several giant robots materialized on the platform in a flash of light.
"What happened?" Sari said, helping her dad stand up.
Miss Sumdac, I presume. I'm sorry this is the way we meet face-to-face, as it were. I was coming to speak to you when I picked up a building explosion. I was only able to explain the situation to one person who happened to have dimensional tech.
Death's Head got on his feet, "You're welcome."
Mister Death's Head, thank you for your assistance. Please forgive me; while I was interfacing with your tech, I noticed we have similar goals.
"Do we?"
I have uploaded information into your computing system. It's not much, but it's everything we have about Thanos.
"The Mad Titan?"
Yes, he's the one behind the decimation.
"I see,"
We are currently trying to locate him to try and stop him. May I make a suggestion? Your current bounty is to find him. Should you do, I only request you let us know now. I'd be sure to pay and maybe double your bounty.
"I suppose I could do that,"
"I've left you a method to communicate with us in your computer system."
The bounty hunter nodded as he activated his device, and a gold-like portal formed before him.
"Thank you," Sari told him.
He merely nodded before he got on his bike and rushed into the portal.
Oh! Thank god! I looked into his list of bounties, and both Nebula and Rocket are on it. And someone that sounds like the Doctor.
"Scout?" Sari guessed, "That is you, right? This is the place you told us about?"
Yes, Kim here should be able to help you out here.
"Uninvited guests," Gwen mumbled.
No, they were invited, they just arrived a little faster than expected. Oh! Look three redheads, and they say your hair color is going extinct.

RUINS OF SUMDAC TOWER
The body of the bot twitched in ruins as a puddle of blood pooled beneath it. The blood soon began to reach for the head and re-attach it.
She gasped and let out a scream, and the helmet retracted, revealing short choppy blond hair. "Robot. Robots. They did this!"
The nanobots were working on repairing her body, the circuit pattern glowing as it did. She'd find them and make them pay. The nanobots were more advanced than she thought. Besides repairing her body, it was evolving. It had merged with her on a cellular level, and she saw everything it did. It scanned tech and was supposed to learn and adapt to it, but it had evolved to new levels. The horn robot saved them, a small box formed in her hand-copying the scans. It was imperfect; she was damaged but given her time. She'd find them.
She'd destroy them, down to their very circuits. The nanobot further dug into her brain, reconnecting synapses and even creating new pathways for creator efficiency.
For the first time since the snap, Circuit Breaker had a clear goal in mind.
Authors Notes: Okay, so I've been busy. I'm working on a Halloween special for Soul Eater Meisterhood my web series. So check it out on youtube. That's the plug but yeah working on it.
So general notes. Yeah, more people joining up. Gwen has a clue about something.
As I said before I wanted to bring in more Marvel characters that likely won't come to the MCU. Elsa Bloodstone actually came close, they planned on making a Buffy-like show about her hunting monsters. But that fell through. I always liked that character.
FYI the mummy and the orb are both real Marvel things. Who knows if they will show up.
Okay, on that note I am introducing my own MCU versions of Death's Head and Circuit Breaker.
Death's Head has worked with the TVA and from time to time does show up in Marvel comics. He was originally made to be a character in the Transformers comics but Marvel liked him so much he premiered in other comics so they could keep the rights for him.
Circuit Breaker was a character created by Marvel for the transformer comics, that lead to a crazy legal problem and now Marvel can't use them since they are owned by Hasbro. So why not have them show up as the transformers joins the marvel story.
Yes, the safe world was Dr Stone world. I know people wanted it, but yeah, not sure what they would add to the story, so here's the nod to it.
Since the beast wars were my first transformers I added the animated versions of some of the characters with Cheetor, Botanica and Rattletrap.
I've almost got the next chapter done, just been busy with editing the video and job , I sat down and made an outline of everything that will happen. So I know exactly what will happen, its planned out. So leave reviews telling me what you guys thought and check out the TV trope page.
Q&A:
kingmanaena: Eventually yes. Lets say you will see more about the time table next chapter.
Bloodguy: I mean, in the movie one of the first things we see was him help out that girl, and didn't charge her too. So, he's got a soft spot for kids. Hard to say the arc, several arcs overlap. Think of this as a discovery arc.
Justinakamydude: Yeah, here I am. Hope you like this chapter too.
Guest 01: Good to see you again.
01. Yeah arc isn't supposed to be that long. I'm thinking of several mini arc happening next to each other, some interact and some over lap all building together. The full effect won't be seen until they're over. So you are pretty on the nose with your observations. Like Tony has started to see that Infinity has their own plans and is doing something behind the scenes. Things will develop. I also had to but some threat because lets face it, it would be a real boring story if they just went there got the information and nothing else happened.
02. You will see more about that next chapter. The people they pull out are from previous chapters. The people who survived Anubis and Frieza.
03. I am going to admit, the Blaz Blue is a late entry because I found out about their magic space laser real late and I got plans for we had to first conflict in this chapter. You will see what they have planned for the gems soon.
04. Yeah stuff is going down. Disasters are erupting everywhere of every sort of level.
05. ye so this chapter answered that question.
06: well more of that will be explained next chapter as the goal becomes clearer along with some peoples roles, Will recruitment will continue there will be some action showing them moving against Thanos more directly. I am working on a proper balance, every chapter should have some MCU character, and some of the recruits will move to the background and support roles but I'll do my best.
germanjustiniano9: Ese es difícil de explicar. Las reglas para ambos mundos son un poco diferentes, por lo que combinarlas es difícil. Pero parece haber fantasmas en ambos mundos, así que ...
deltagamer: I haven't. I can't explain it yet, but they were in the last chapter.
guest: They are in the med wing, in a coma they will rise when the time is right.
