Doom punched down the last Celestial. Already, thirteen of them were dead at his feet. He had increased in size and doubled in power. He was prepared to leave when he saw the remains of Arishem floating away quickly.
Loki stood, straining to hold the timelines down with the sword. Ravonna paced, worried.
"Loki... are you sure? I can't do this. I won't."
"You... will!" grunted Loki, struggling to push down the hilt and hold together the timelines.
"The fabric of reality... depends on it! I urge you... please. Do it... for all time. Always!"
Ravonna sighed and nodded.
Loki used one hand to pull a pruning rod, and he tossed it to her.
Ravonna gave Loki and sorrowful look before pruning herself.
"Strange... whatever you're doing... do it faster!" shouted Loki.
Ravonna stood, looking around. She was back in the void.
A large, shadow dog stood before her. And she stared at it. It was Alioth.
Rocket Raccoon stood, handing a small, red pup to its parents. One space pup tackled Rocket, licking him across the face.
"All right, all right! I get it," chuckled Rocket, patting the pup on the head.
"She really likes you, Kapitan," noted Cosmo.
Suddenly the ground shook. The planet shook violently.
Rocket stumbled. Groot toppled over, making the situation quite worse.
"What new devilry is this?!" asked Adam.
Then a large chunk of red crashed near them.
Rocket cocked his gun.
Kraglin whistled, preparing his arrow.
Adam, Cosmo and Phyla stood defensively in front of the space pups.
Blurp just stood there and took a whizz.
Thor emerged from the large body mass.
"What the hell? Thor! What're you doing here?" asked Rocket.
"Rabbit! Tree! My god, you've grown! Now isn't the time to reunite, the multiverse is in danger. Get everyone on this giant armpit thingy!"
"...What's a multiverse?" asked Kraglin.
Earth shook. Everywhere, everyone was panicking. Clint Barton and Matt Murdock struggled to get everyone to safety.
Peter Quill and his grandfather stumbled about, wondering what was going on.
More chunks of Arishem struck the earth, and from two of them, Reed and Stark emerged.
Reed used his flexibility to grab some people and put them in the Celestial chunk.
Stark used his nanotechnology to stop wrecks and grab everyone in sight, floating them into the Celestial craft.
"Oh my god..." mumbled Clint in surprise as he saw Stark in action. "It's the damn futurist. The futurist is here!"
Reed looked from afar and saw Stark's excess of rescued civilians.
"...You show-off!"
Strange and America stood on an orange platform, using their combined power to open portals and gateways in the tree, with Arishem's pieces of flesh going in and out.
Loki still stood, struggling to hold down the hilt and keep the destruction at bay.
More and more people were rescued. Several thousands. Millions. Trillions.
When most of the chunks were out, Strange began to use his magic to combine several of the pieces. His orange magic surrounded the pieces, and they all took the form of rafts.
"Uh, Strange! We've got a little company!" exclaimed America.
Strange quickly looked behind and saw the cosmic-sized Doom approaching them.
Thor, Stark and Reed watched in shock.
"I believe you've got something of mine!" boomed Doom's voice.
Thor launched forward, attempting to strike Doom with both Mjolnir and Stormbreaker.
Doom was barely fazed when the blow hit him on the forehead.
Doom gave a dark, cold chuckle before he grabbed Thor by the head and flung him far away.
"We've gotta get him near the tree," whispered Strange quickly. The platform he and America were on approached the multiversal Yggdrasil, and with one hand Strange made the rafts float away.
Stark flew out, and he summoned most of his spare nanotech to create a large hammer, shooting it at Doom.
It hit him in the leg, barely knocking him down. Stark used the opportunity to fly forward, punching Doom on the mask and making stumble him a little. Doom used his magic to enclose Stark, and he threw him near the tree.
"DOOM!!"
Doom looked as Reed floated out to him on an orange platform.
"Doom, please. Stop this. You're a madman."
"It's a mad, mad world," sneered Doom.
Reed sighed before stretching out near Doom.
Before any strike could come, Doom grabbed Reed by the head, and he began to stretch him out.
Richards screamed in agony. He'd never stretched this far before.
Doom sighed in satisfaction before making his foe explode.
"Oh, my god!" exclaimed America.
Strange took a short time to bow his head before opening a portal. Captain Marvel, Ms Marvel and Monica flew out, using their combined power to blast Doom. Kamala used her bangles to make all three of them teleport around Doom, blasting him without him being able to catch them.
Doom shouted, stumbling in defeat. But the might of Doom would not be broken so easi. He began absorbing theit power, and he created an explosion that sent them all flying back.
Suddenly, a figure kicked him from behind.
Doom fell near the tree. He looked back near his attacker. It was Kang. He stood giant, near his younger and smaller self.
"YOU IDIOT!" shouted Doom. "I'VE LOST EVERYTHING IN MY QUEST! YOU SHALL NOT TAKE IT FROM ME!"
Kang smirked and used his hands to blast Doom against the tree.
"And what was it you said? A god takes. And he uses his power to destroy. To build anew. A god does the necessary to ensure his goals. You were right. I was restricted my power, but no more. I will use it to the fullest!" Kang then grabbed Doom by the mask, before crushing his head with his bare hands.
The tree then exploded. Kang was in no way affected. The younger Kang, however, was horrified. He saw the body of Reed, floating about.
"Hey! Look at me!" shouted Kang. His younger self hadn't noticed his future self speaking.
"Sorry. I don't do partners," said the young Kang as he grabbed Reed's body, and vanished.
