'Hong Kong' appears on the screen. Kaecilius and 2 zealots walk through a portal.
Everyone glared at the screen.
Inside of the sanctum, Wong tells the other sorcerers to choose their weapons wisely and that no one steps foot in the sanctum.
"Guard it with your lives." Strange said wistfully.
Wong leaves the sanctum and finds Kaecilius. Kaecilius tells Wong that he's on the wrong side of history.
"Is he though?" Thor asked.
Strange walks through a portal and finds Mordo and tells him that the Ancient One is dead.
Mordo tells him that he was right about her not being who he thought she was.
Strange says she was complicated.
"You got that right." Rocket said.
Mordo says the Dark Dimension is volatile and dangerous and asks if it overtook her. He says she told them it was forbidden while she drew on its power and stole centuries of life.
"That must be why Kaecilius called her a hypocrite." Rhodey said.
Strange says she did what she thought was right.
Mordo says her transgressions led the zealots to Dormammu and says Kaecilius was her fault and they are in the consequences of her deception.
"Be angry at the Ancient One all you want, but you have much bigger problems on your hands." Natasha said.
Strange tells him that the London sanctum has fallen and New York has been attacked twice and he knows where they're going next.
"They're already there." Bruce said, fretfully.
Strange says Mordo told him to fight like his life depended on it because it might one day and says that that day is today. He says he can't defeat them alone. He makes a portal to Hong Kong and they find the city destructed.
"Oh no."
Strange realizes that the sanctum has already fallen. The Dark Dimension starts covering the city. Mordo says Dormammu is coming.
"This is very not good." Scott said.
Mordo it's too late and nothing can stop him.
"I wouldn't be so sure about that." Strange said.
Strange opens the Eye of Agamotto and uses it just before Kaecilius stabs him. He turns back time to reverse the destruction of the city. Strange says the spell is working and they get a second chance.
Everyone started cheering.
Time continues being rewound as Strange and Mordo run to the sanctum. Kaecilius goes to attack Strange and throws him into the street. Mordo starts fighting the 2 zealots, one of them gets sucked into an aquarium tank.
Everyone laughed at that.
One of the zealots tries to run up some scaffolding, Mordo uses his staff to yank her down and trap her. The Dark Dimension starts retreating.
"Yay!"
A dust cloud surrounds Strange and Kaecilius, Strange kicks Kaecilius out of it and starts fighting him. Mordo uses his Staff to yank Kaecilius away and throws him into a building that reconstructs around him.
"Finally!" Everyone sighed.
"Not yet." Strange said.
As time continues to be reversed, rubble lifts off of Wong. Strange uses the stone on him and he's healed and says he knows he's breaking the laws of nature.
"Well... if it's for a good reason, couldn't he let you off the hook for it?" Maria asked.
Wong tells him not to stop now.
Everyone laughed.
Strange says the zealots will attack the sanctum when it's restored and they need to defend it. The run toward it and Kaecilius frees himself.
"Oh come on!"
Kaecilius sends a shockwave toward the sanctum, knocking Strange down in the process. Time stops.
"What the hell?" Sam asked.
Mordo stands and tells Strange to get up and fight and says they can finish it.
Kaecilius says they can't fight the inevitable.
"How is this, in any way, inevitable?" May asked.
Kaecilius looks at the Dark Dimension and asks if it's beautiful.
"No actually, it's not. It's just terrifying." Hope said.
Kaecilius says it's a world beyond time and death.
Strange repeats the words 'beyond time.'
"What are you planning?" Wanda asked.
Strange stands up and flies into the Dark Dimension.
"I hope you know what you're doing." Vision said.
Mordo says Strange is gone.
Kaecilius says Strange left and surrendered to his power.
"No, not true." Strange said.
Strange lands on something and does something with the time stone, then looks at Dormammu. Strange tells Dormammu that he's come to bargain.
"A bargain?" Everyone asked.
"That's how you beat him?" Fury asked.
"Not exactly, there was more to it than that." Strange said.
Dormammu says Strange came to die and says that Strange's world is now his world like all worlds. Dormammu kills Strange with a blast of power and spikes.
"Oh god."
Strange jumps onto the platform, completely fine and tells Dormammu that he came to bargain.
"A time loop." Loki realized.
Dormammu says Strange came to die and Stranges world is now his world. He cuts himself off and asks what this is and if it's an illusion.
Strange says it's real. Dormammu impales Strange.
Everyone gasped, even though they saw it coming.
Strange jumps down and tells Dormammu that he came to bargain.
Dormammu asks what's happening.
Strange says he brought power from his dimension just as Dormammu gave Kaecilius power form his. He holds up his wrist and says it's endless looped time.
"Time as a weapon in a dimension that works without time." Tony said. "Who would've thought?"
Dormammu smashes Strange. Strange appears back where he was and tells Dormammu that he came to bargain.
Dormammu says can't do this forever.
"Technically he can..." Bucky said.
Strange says he can and that this is how things are now they two of them trapped in that moment endlessly.
Dormammu says he'll spend eternity dying.
"In increasingly creative ways." Strange added.
Strange says everyone on Earth will live.
Dormammu says Strange will suffer.
Strange says pain is an old friend.
"I relate." All the teenagers said.
Dormammu kills Strange, Strange appears again.
Dormammu kills Strange, Strange appears and says he came to bargain.
Dormammu says to end this then kills him.
Strange keeps appearing each time Dormammu kills him.
"You think Dormammu would be sick of this by now." Carol said.
Dormammu tells Strange that he'll never win.
Strange says he can lose again and again and again forever and that makes Dormammu his prisoner.
"How many times did you have to die before this stopped?" Steve asked.
"I'm not sure." Strange said.
Dormammu kills him. Strange appears again. Dormammu tells him to make it stop and set him free.
Strange tells him no and says he came to bargain.
Dormammu asks what he wants.
Strange tells him to take the zealots from Earth and end the assault and then he'll break the loop.
"That's your bargain." T'Challa said. "A very clever plan."
On Earth, time is frozen. Mordo stands up and tells Strange to get up and fight and says they can finish it.
Kaecilius looks at the Dark Dimension and asks if it's beautiful and says it's a world beyond time.
"And yet time is it's weakness." Strange said.
Strange floats down behind Kaecilius. Kaecilius asks him what he's done.
Strange says he made a bargain.
Kaecilius' hand starts fading, he asks what's happening.
Strange says it's everything he ever wanted and it's eternal life as part of the One and tells him he won't like it.
"Oh I'm sure he won't." Pepper said.
The zealots all get sucked into the Dark Dimension. Strange says they should've stolen the whole book because the warnings come after the spells. Wong starts laughing.
"Really? That's what makes him finally laugh?" Tony asked.
Strange finishes reversing time, the sanctum is repaired and time unfreezes. Wong says they did it.
"You did."
Mordo agrees and says that they violated the natural law.
"Would you rather have had Dormammu win?" Peggy asked.
Strange tells him to look around and says that it's all over.
Mordo asks if Strange still thinks there won't be consequences and says they broke their rules like the Ancient One broke hers and says he won't follow the path any longer.
"So... after all that he just left?" Sam asked/
Strange is in Kamar-Taj. He takes the Eye of Agamotto off and places it back on the pedestal.
Wong tells him that was a wise choice, then says Strange will wear it once he's mastered it's powers and until then he shouldn't wear in Infinity Stone in the streets.
"Probably a good idea." Gamora said.
Strange looks confused. Wong says he may have a gift for the mystic arts but he still has much to learn.
"There's always more to learn." Strange said.
Wong says that word of the Ancient One's death will spread throughout the multiverse and Earth has no sorcerer supreme to defend it. He says they must be ready.
Strange says they will be.
"I hope so."
Strange walks up to the window of the New York sanctum and puts his watch on.
"You're the master of the sanctum now?" Maria asked.
"I am." Strange confirmed.
Thor and Strange are in the sanctum. Thor asks if Earth has wizards now.
"Well, look who it is. Back on Earth now, buddy?" Tony asked.
Strange asks if Thor wants tea.
Thor says he doesn't drink tea.
Strange asks what he does drink.
Thor says it isn't tea. The tea turns into a pint of beer.
"Nice."
Strange says he keeps a watchlist of individuals from other realms that may be a threat to Earth and Loki is one of those beings.
Thor says he's a worthy inclusion.
Strange asks why he brought him there.
"Loki's back on Earth?" The Avengers asked, worried.
Thor says it's a long story that involves family drama and tells Strange that they're looking for Odin.
Strange asks if they would return to Asgard if they found Odin.
Thor says they would.
Strange says he'll help them.
"I almost forgot that Loki essentially banished Odin to Earth." Valkyrie said.
Jonathan Pangborn is welding. Mordo walks up to him. Jonathan asks if he can help him. Mordo says Jonathan was carried to Kamar-Taj on a stretcher.
"Mordo?" Strange asked.
Jonathan turns around and recognizes Mordo and asks what he can do for him.
Mordo says he's been away for many months and he's had a revelation. He says the true purpose of a sorcerer is to twist things out of their shape, steal power and prevert nature.
Jonathan grabs a crowbar.
"This won't end well." Bucky said.
Jonathan says he stole nothing and this is his power.
"He's right."
Mordo says power has purpose. Jonathan attacks him.
Mordo takes his power and Jonathan is paralyzed again. He asks why Mordo is doing this.
Mordo says he sees what's wrong with the world and says there are too many sorcerers.
