At the None, the battle was going fairly well. The tide turned in favor of the heroes, as the Kangs had never fought the likes of Sentry and Storm before. They combined their power, along with Wanda and Magneto, and the Kangs were slaughtered, although not without a cost. Janet Van Dyne had been severely wounded in her attempt to protect Scott, and she said her last words to Hope before her death.
"In the midst of life, we are in death. Remember that, honey. But don't forget that in the end, every obstacle will be overcome."
Hope cried over her mother's passing, and everyone fell silent. Even Deadpool was quiet.
The battle didn't come without it's wounds, either. Beast had broken his arm punching a Kang, and Scott had been stabbed in the leg. Namor had also weakened, though. After Maestro spat on him, he felt more nourished.
"BEHOLD, ALL! FOR I AM YOUR RECKONING!" boomed Kang.
Everyone looked at the massive variant.
Cyclops shot at him in the face with his laser eyes, but Kang easily deflected the blast, making it blast right through Mystique.
This ticked them all off, and everyone began to use their combined power. Wanda and Magneto struck him with all they had, Love shot laser eyes at him, Clea used her sword to cut at him. No avail. No matter what the heroes did, it was a mere paper cut to what Kang had in store. He stomped, knocking everyone down.
"DON'T YOU SEE? TO ME... YOU'RE ALL ANTS!"
Scott grew large and tried to punch Kang, but it was futile. Kang grabbed his arm and twisted it behind his back. Scott grunted in pain.
He tried to shrink, but Kang blocked him from tapping his button.
"LET THIS BE A LESSON... TO ALL WHO DEFY THE CONQUEROR!"
With a yell, he punched the back of Scott's head, breaking his neck.
"DAD!" shouted Cassie in anguish.
Kang smirked darkly and tossed the large body down.
"ANYONE ELSE WANT A GO? NO?! WELL, WHAT A CHANGE OF HEART. KNEEL TO ME."
"FUCK YOU!" shouted Deadpool. "Oh my god, I did it! My first PG-13 F-Bomb!"
Kang snarled and kicked Deadpool down.
"KNEEL BEFORE... EMPEROR KANG!"
With shivers and reluctance, most of them kneeled. Except for Steve, that is. Along with Sam and several others.
"OH! A RESISTANCE! I DO LOVE A GOOD SHOW!"
Kang remembered Doom's goal. He held up both hands, and shouted.
From the ashes of the destroyed multiverse, pieces of the universes floated together. Soon enough, a world faded into existence. Everyone suddenly disappeared from their positions.
They all awoke in a dark dungeon. Their backs against large poles that they were tied to by chains. Everyone was there. Although, with the exception of Thor and Loki. Strange himself was tied to a pole. All the rescued civilians from every universe was there as well.
A large door opened before them.
"I CALL IT... BATTLEWORLD!" shouted Emperor Kang. "YOU ALL WANT TO PLAY GAMES? WE SHALL! AND THUS, A NEW ERA SHALL BEGIN. AN ERA... OF KANG!"
"No..." groaned Peter 1 weakly.
A Citadel stood out at the center of Battleworld. A Citadel that Kang would reign supreme.
"Kang..." said a voice behind him.
Kang was in shock of who was behind him.
"My dear Ravonna..."
Ravonna Renslayer stood there, dressed as she was when she died.
"I will finally rule beside you... my king."
Kang smiled evilly.
Out in the distant space, Thor floated unconsciously. Something drew near him. A large, black mass with red eyes. Thor groaned weakly, and opened his eye to see his attacker... or saviour?
