6. Battle of the Island

Disclaimer: I do not own anything you may recognize

Thank you to everyone who has favorited, followed or reviewed this fic so far.

Also, I noticed I didn't specify something- on MCU Earth, Gateway is not a member of the Brotherhood, just a Krakoan resident who aids Magneto is all.

Born Again Episode 8 was fantastic, this one is entirely post-overhaul by the new creatives, and the difference is visible, and genuinely staggering. It was awesome, really has me excited for the Season 1 finale now.

Thanks a lot to Brainstorm Sorcerer and gussygus28 for their suggestions again.

Enjoy.

TW: Thank you for the review, glad it was fantastic and glad you loved it.

Guest 1: I heard, let's hope the finale gives us a definitive answer.

Guest 2: Don't have any plans yet, but that can always change. The comic and the upcoming sequel sound awesome though,

Chapter 6- Battle of the Island

Earth-199999

The jet landed at an area near New Orleans, as Deadpool asked. "So…we're getting people here, huh? They from Marvel or somewhere else?"

"They'll be here in about an hour", Logan told Wade, and sighed, waiting. "Don't wanna wait, but there's nothing I can do right now, bub!"

"Well, you can wallow about it, like you do in all your films", Wade shrugged, making Logan glare at him. "I mean, that's what you do in all films, right? Act like a cynical shit, then show that you care deep down. Same thing here?"

Logan turned to Wade. "Just shut up!"

"Watch your frown lines, baby, I'm just trying to bond a little bit."

"Then talk about something else."

"This suit, this the same one teased in 'The Wolverine' but we never saw you wear it till you changed Cinematic Universe-"

"Yes! The same one!" Logan scoffed, not getting most of what Wade was even talking about.

"Why the hell did you not return to the mansion early?"

Logan glared at Wade. "What did you say?"

"I mean, you say you care about them, but you weren't there to protect them when this happened. I know its for this story's plot, but still! Everyone says you're a hero and I should be like you, but how?"

"I wasn't there, and its eating me up inside!" Logan snapped at Wade. "Which is why I wanna rescue them all, do you understand?"

"Wanna do a repeat of the 2nd film, or Origins? I mean, I know Origins sucked, especially your girlfriend dying, but-"

Logan stabbed his claws into Wade's thigh. "OWWWWW. Fuck!? FUCK. I WAS JUST CURIOUS!"

"YOU BROUGHT IT UP AGAIN!"

"No, I made an educated statement!"

"Did you say you made an EDUCATED. FUCKING. STATEMENT?! ABOUT THAT?!" Logan twisted his claws as Wade gasped.

"They call me the Merc With The Mouth. They don't call me, "Compassionate Cindy, the blowjob queen of Scary Movie.""

Logan stared at Wade, pulling his claws out and raising his fist, scaring Wade who was grunting in pain. The words barely found their way through his rage and gritted teeth.

"One more word. Please, give me one."

Wade considered, then said. "Gubernatorial."

Logan almost lunged at Wade, who yelped in fear. "Oh, fuck." Logan then stopped, just glaring at Wade, regretting having brought him in.

"You know what? You are a fucking joke. Really, the Avengers won't take you. Not even the X-Men would, and they'll take fucking anyone." Logan chuckled in self-loathing, as they did take someone like himself of all people. "I mean, you are a ridiculous, immature, half-wit moron. I have never met a sadder, more attention-starved, jabbering little prick in my entire life and that says a lot because I've been alive for almost TWO HUNDRED FUCKING YEARS." He was pointing at himself right now. "And I'll tell ya, you were right about one thing... you annoy me, but not just me, everyone. You even annoyed an annoyance like Stryker so much that HE SEWED YOUR GODDAMN MOUTH SHUT!" Wade seemed hurt now. "And motherfucker, I WISH I could say you'd die alone- but it's one of", Logan slammed his fist at the ceiling angrily, "GOD's best jokes that you can't die! Except it's on all of us!"

Wade was stunned, looking truly hurt for once, but Logan decided to double down.

"You got nothing to say, Mouth?!"

He breathed heavily, as Wade looked down for a few seconds, then looking up at Logan, finally declared in a serious voice. "I'm gonna fight you now."

Logan laughed, and then snorted. "Oh, are you?"

Wade punched Logan on the nose, stunning him as his nose bled, making him glare angrily. "Fuck…" Then, he punched Wade on the face twice, then grabbing his head with his other hand, slammed it to the side, then at the radio, causing 'The Greatest Show' to play, before Logan slammed his head again, changing the song to 'A Million Dreams', and after the third slam, it changed to 'You're the One That I Want'.

'You're the One That I Want' by John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John begins to play

Wade tried to take out his sword but Logan punched him, then tied him up with the seatbelt, and unleashing his claws, stabbed him as Wade gasped.

"Not talking now, are ya?"

Logan took out his claws and tried to stab again but Wade managed to push the seat back alongside himself, avoiding the strike. As Logan tried to stab again, Wade stopped him with his foot and lifted his other one, trapping Logan's head and slamming it to the side.

With that, he slammed Logan's twice again, before Logan growled and stabbed Wade in the chest.

"Ah, you dirty bitch!"

With a powerful kick from Wade, Logan was sent crashing out through the front glass, falling down and rolling away, before picking himself up, claws out as he crouched.

Wade looked out the window and unsheathed his swords, while Logan charged the jet with a roar, slamming into it with his strength as Wade was sent crashing inside of it.

Then, Logan leapt inside, stabbing Wade with both sets of claws, and continued to stab him twice with the right ones, and when Wade tried to stop with his hand, Logan stabbed that hand twice with the left hand's claws.

Then, Wade grasped Logan by the side and flipped him down, getting on top of him, but Logan managed to stab again, and a second later, Wade was sent flying out of the ceiling, breaking it as he fell and rolled outside.

Wade flipped up and saw Logan's hand from inside the jet, beckoning him tauntingly. Twirling and throwing the swords away, Wade unsheathed two baby knives and leapt in through another glass window, shattering it and barely avoiding Logan who'd rolled away.

He kicked Logan towards what was left of the front glass, breaking it, and grabbing him, pinned him to the front of the jet, stabbing his shoulder twice, before Logan freed himself, grabbed Wade's arm, and pinned it down.

"No, no, no!"

Logan twisted and broke Wade's arm, making him give out a high-pitched scream, and then Logan pulled Wade back inside before smashing him out through the back glass, Wade fixing his arm with another twist, only for Logan to pull him back and punch, then punch again as Wade blocked.

Then, Wade managed to pin Logan and tie his neck with the seatbelt, before rolling up and jumping upwards and back inside, tightening it, only for Logan to cut it with his claws, and pulling Wade, he pinned him down and stabbed him through the brain with his claws, shattering more of the remaining glass, before kneeing Wade's face twice.

"Baby knife."

Wade stabbed Logan's thigh before he could be kneed a third time, Logan growling as Wade pulled it out and kicked him onto the radio, stopping the song.

'You're the One That I Want' by John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John stops playing

"Okay, this jet fucks hard, and I bet the one who gave it to you fucks hard too", Wade said before looking at the angry Logan, and beckoned him tauntingly. "Too bad you don't, needle dick."

"Oh, we're just getting started, bub."

'You're the One That I Want' by John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John resumes playing

Logan lunged at Wade and continued stabbing him on the arm, then the chest, then the head, the jet rocking around as some of its outsides were splattered with blood.

---

Half an hour later

Logan and Wade lay in the jet, both groaning, with the sleeves on Logan's suit completely torn during the fight, though both had fully healed, while Wade was tied up by the seatbelt.

Then, they heard a tapping sound, and sat up, seeing two figures outside- one was a man with brown hair, in his late twenties, wearing a tan trench coat with purple body armor underneath, alongside a headset covering his chin and forehead, playing with a card that was charged with some sort of purple energy, that he threw up and caught on return.

And with him was a blonde woman wearing an orange suit, with black stripes on it, having a sheathed sword with her, a dangerous glint in her eyes.

Logan quickly freed Wade, then opened up the jet, the two noting how messed up it was, and the blood here and there, plus the torn sleeves of Logan's suit.

"What happened here?" The woman asked Logan, who shared a look with Wade, then shrugged.

"We'd a difference of opinion", Logan commented, and Wade scoffed from behind him.

"Looks more than that to me, but eh", the brown-haired man shrugged in a very thick Cajun accent, as Logan walked to them both.

"Good to see you, Remy", Logan said as he held out his hand, Remy LeBeau aka Gambit shaking it, and then he shook hands with the woman. "You too, Beatrix."

"Call me Bride now", Beatrix Kiddo aka The Bride told Logan firmly, and he nodded.

"Ah, dude, really can't understand what you're saying, who is your dialect coach, The Minions?", Wade said to Gambit. "Anyways, confused how you're here, thought Taylor Kitsch was supposed to be Gambit here, while you still don't have that film of yours."

"What the fuck?" Logan muttered, while Wade looked at the Bride.

"Ah, so you're the other fandom character. Damn! Aragorn really wants to throw in stuff here and there in all Universes", Wade commented, Bride tilting her head in confusion. "Oh well, Bill is killed, and we've Uma Thurman, plus I imagine some Tarantino-style action-"

"Does he always talk this much?" Bride asked Logan.

"Why do you think we fought?" Logan asked back, and she shrugged.

"Hey! We fought because Aragorn wanted to do our fights from our film on here", Wade said, only confusing them. "Also, how do you all know each other? Just for our beloved and esteemed readers!"

"I knew his father, well I remember meeting him once", Logan said as he gestured to Gambit. "The original Gambit who helped me get to Stryker's base."

"Oooh, so Taylor is your dad, right Channing?" Wade asked Gambit, confusing him even more.

"I did not know my daddy, I thought he left me and my mom, but he was captured by Stryker, after escaping, he did not come to us to keep us safe", Gambit revealed sadly, Wade nodding at that, as Remy sighed. "I heard from Fury that he died trying to fight the Chitauri Invasion."

"He died a hero", Logan said, Remy nodding with a sigh.

"Right, that's one backstory." Wade turned to Bride. "How about you?"

"Met Logan in Japan as we got in the crosshairs of an organization that Bill and us had conflicts with before", Bride revealed to him. "And he saved me from someone who wanted to kill me." Logan had actually managed to talk her down, rather than kill her, which was something to witness. "I thought I could leave this life behind, unfortunately, I can't. But I try to use my skills for good now."

"All right, got it, so we're done", Wade shrugged, then turned to Logan. "Wanna spoil what this organization is for-"

"No!"

"All right!"

"Anyways", Logan turned to Bride. "How is your daughter?"

"She is nearly an adult, she can manage fine for a while", Bride assured him. "And she is safe too." Logan nodded at that, and gestured to the jet.

"The thing is damaged from the inside, but its good enough to take us to our destination", Logan said, and they nodded as both got into it.

New York City

Felicia Hardy was at the top of the building, smirking as she looked at her bag, which had a lot of cash in it, and made to walk off, but when she spun around, Parker was standing there, her arms folded.

"Uhhh….hi?" Felicia said randomly.

"What are you doing here?"

"Stealing from this politician who supported the SHRA!" Felicia told Parker with a shrug. "Surprisingly easy to break into."

"He also has members of the SHRA taskforce guarding him." Parker lifted up her taser with a smirk. "Or well, he did."

"So, you're not mad?"

"Oh, I'm very mad. What the hell were you thinking?"

"I'm thinking of giving a reality check to these scumbags who think they're better than us!" Felicia told Parker passionately. "Come on, isn't that what you do? Why are you judging me?"

"You're not supposed to do this on your own!" Parker pointed out. "You're still not ready."

"Did you listen to everything you were told when you were my age?" Felicia inquired.

"Well….." Parker trailed off, then shrugged. "Still don't. Though I'm the Mastermind now so I usually tell the guys to do things-"

"Well then, let me do what I like", Felicia shrugged, and Parker sighed, her expression softening.

"Its not that I don't approve, its just…." Parker trailed off, unable to say it, but Felicia had a feeling what it was.

"All right, I guess I'll see you", Felicia said before running off to the edge of the rooftop, and using a rope she'd put to climb up to start climbing down.

"Teenage girls are so complicated", Parker muttered.

---

Later

"I mean, yes, I did all the time in our team, but I'm also a full-on professional, and she is not!" Parker was telling Eliot and Hardison. "Is this what they call acting out? I'm not sure, as I've never acted out! Is it normal?"

"Right…" Eliot muttered with folded arms of his own. "I think it's a combination of that and sticking it to the corrupt higher-ups."

"I'm just wondering if she was caught", Parker commented.

"Are you worried?" Hardison asked teasingly, and she sighed.

"All right, fine, I am worried", Parker finally admitted. While she cared a lot about certain people even beyond Hardison, Eliot, Nate, Sophie and Peggy, she usually did not say it out loud much. "Though I don't disapprove of it, the SHRA is….."

"Inhumane and violates basic human rights of people", Hardison finished for her. "If we'd known about these before, would have stolen this like that time we stole another law."

"Speaking of, that horrible 'Cray-Cray' nonsense you listen to? The chick who sung it was almost arrested by the taskforce", Eliot informed Hardison, confusing him.

"Almost?"

"Me and Daredevil sent them running for the hills", Eliot finally told the two of them. "They tried to arrest her for speaking against the SHRA and its inhumanity."

"Damn! They're really crossing the lines, trying to arrest even protestors of their nonsense, human or superhuman", Hardison said with a sigh. "This is more 'age of the American dictatorship' at this point."

"Yeah, guess we'll have to take on this too sometime", Parker commented. "But anything to say about Felicia?"

"She is all right, but there is something wrong with her, a chip on her shoulder", Eliot told Parker what he thought. "Still, we've a lot to deal with right now, but we'll see about Felicia later too."

"Sounds good to me", Parker said as the three got back to work.

Earth-38

Above in the skies over California, a figure donned in the white uniform of his people tumbled out of a breach before righting himself in the air.

He was tall, broad shouldered yet lean, with a deep set of blue eyes and a moustache.

He looked at his surroundings, blue skies, white clouds.

"This is not Viltrum." The Viltrumite, Agron, stated factually, before his eyes turned downward, where his gaze travelled farther below, to the makings of a city.

His eyes narrowed before his body jettisoned downward, the sonic boom left in his wake dispersing the clouds around him.

---

People were walking by, only for someone to sense something, then stop and look up to see Agron glaring at them.

"What planet is this?" He demanded to know, but people were too shocked by the sudden appearance of the guy, with some staring as others took out their phones to record him.

Glaring, Agron swooped down and grabbed a man's throat, before levitating back up.

"Answer my question."

The man stammered to answer, but was too slow. Within the next second, he crushed the man's head brutally, splattering blood over himself and the street below.

Agron turned his head to pick another victim, a woman, quickly grabbing her and lifting her up. "I will not ask again." Even as she screamed, with terror clutching her entire being, Agron only rolled his eyes, before he felt something against his skin, and a loud bang.

He turned down to see a cop shooting at him. Agron tossed the woman through a building before blurring in front of the cop, and he grabbed the arm. The cop grunted, unable to even budge his arm slightly, as Agron turned it, and then shoved the gun into the cop's mouth, the barrel forced through back of his throat, the cop falling dead on the spot.

"SWANN!" Another cop screamed at his partner's death before shots rang out, but Agron blurred through the cop's body, ripping him into bits, which caused Agron to be covered in blood.

Masses of people tried to run for their lives, causing a stampede, but a crowd was forced to stop as the flying murderer appeared before them.

"How many of you do I have to kill before I get an answer?"

No was brave enough to answer, or even move slightly.

Exhaling, Agron shook his head before looking at the weaklings before him. "Fine then."

Agron looked up to see the logo for the CW network hanging by the network's headquarters, and flew into that, the logo crashing down and crushing many, as the crowd started running around again.

Earth-92, Los Angeles

Justine Cooper released the cigarette from her mouth, letting out the smoke as she walked into an alley, her mind occupied by many thoughts.

Such as how her beloved Daniel Holtz had jumped into that portal that led to that place called Quor'toth, with the baby whom they were going to name Steven, for they should have raised him together.

But now he was lost to her forever! Was he dead? Or was he stuck in that Hell forever? She wished she could see him again, and then lash out at him for leaving her like that.

He was supposed to be with them, now he was gone!

This was all because of Angelus! He'd killed Holtz's family, because of which Holtz was here for revenge. And him having a soul had made Holtz go much farther than if it was just soulless Angelus, whom he'd have just staked.

Angelus, yes, this was all because of him! And he was going to pay!

That was when she heard a faint noise, which made her pause.

Friday the 13th theme plays

Ki-ki-ki-ma-ma-ma

"Hello? Who's there?"

Justine looked here and there in the alley, but saw no one at all. She was alone! No Vampires either. Oh well, if there were, she was ready.

Few seconds passed, and deciding she was alone, Justine shrugged, and turning back to her path, continued walking in a straight line.

Ki-ki-ki-ma-ma-ma

Suddenly, someone grabbed her by the head, with one hand, while another wrapped around her waist, making her gasp.

She pulled out her stake, stabbing the arm grabbing her waist, but it did nothing, as she suddenly felt her entire body being pulled via her head.

That caused her to scream in both pain and panic, while she drove the stake deeper into the arm around her waist, but nothing happened, the grip on her was still too tight.

The force of the pull increased.

SPLITTTT!

Justine's body was ripped in half, blood splattering everywhere, including on the alley ground, the walls, and a trashcan nearby, while the lower half fell to the ground, blood still seeping, before the upper half was thrown alongside it, blood seeping out from there too.

Jason Voorhees, also covered with Justine's blood, looked down at the two halves of her body, and pulled the stake out of his arm.

Ki-ki-ki-ma-ma-ma

Jason tilted his head, examining his handiwork, before walking off.

In her house, Kennedy was in her bedroom, groaning as she felt like shit on seeing the time. "Another training session, urrghhh!"

She scoffed and shook her head, sitting on her bed. "Can anyone get that Watcher away from me?! I didn't ask for this bullshit!"

Kennedy rolled her eyes. "Do this Kennedy, do that Kennedy! This is how you do this move, Kennedy! He should just leave me alone!"

That was when she heard a childish voice saying- "I like to be hugged."

Turning to a side, she saw….a red-haired doll? How the hell did this thing get into her room?

Scoffing, she got up and walked to the doll. "What do I look like? 6? Get this stupid thing out of my face?" With that, she kicked the doll across the room, making it hit the wall, after which she walked back to the bed, and lay down on it.

"Let him whine to me about training! I'm not coming!"

She closed her eyes, trying to fall asleep. Only, she then heard a sinister chuckle, which made her open her eyes.

Kennedy turned her head, seeing the doll was gone from near the wall, where she'd kicked it.

Suddenly, she felt her back being stabbed, right above the ass, the knife having gone through the bed, making her yelp in pain, before the knife was pulled out.

And then, she saw two tiny hands grasping the edge of the bed, one of them holding a bloodied knife, before, to her bafflement, the doll climbed up onto it, holding the knife as he looked down at her.

Terrified, Kennedy screamed her ass off very loudly.

Laughing, Chucky raised his knife, and brought it down….right into Kennedy's mouth! Her screaming stopped abruptly as blood poured out of Kennedy's mouth and she died on the spot, her eyes staring without seeing.

"And I thought Tiff can be quite annoying."

Then, Chucky laughed maniacally and hysterically.

Earth-199999

Bucky returned to the rundown apartment he was at, starting to pack up, hoping to get away from here to a different country somehow to avoid the SHRA taskforce from coming for him when the time came, but his Super Soldier instincts told him that he was not alone.

Pressing his metal arm into a fist, Bucky spun around and grabbed someone by the collar, only to see it was Nick Fury!

"Why are you here?" Bucky asked Fury with a pant.

"Because we need you", Fury said, confusing Bucky as he let the former Director of SHIELD go, Fury backing off just a little.

"Why do you need me?" Bucky inquired.

"To fight against the SHRA, and save those who got thrown into prison unjustly", Fury shrugged as if it was obvious, Bucky looking confused over the fact that Fury had come to HIM of all people.

"Well, you came to the wrong person", Bucky said as he turned around and began to put stuff into his bag again. "I'm not a hero."

"Not right now, no." Bucky froze, turning back around to face Fury, who'd his hands in his pockets. "I know who you are. I know what you've done. More importantly, I know what you can do." He stepped closer until he was an arm's length away, where Bucky could kill him easily. "What if I told you there's a way to make it right?"

Bucky just stared at Fury. "There is no making it right."

"You pulled Steve Rogers out of that lake, you didn't have to", Fury reminded Bucky, who'd a conflicted expression on his face. "You won't know if there's no making it right if you don't try." Bucky just stood there, trying to make up his mind, as Fury put a hand to his shoulder.

"So, tell me, Mr. Barnes, what do you say?"

Earth-38, National City, DEO

Lucy and the other agents stared at the alert they'd received in utter horror, with the footage now showing Agron having downed the entire building of the CW network, crushing everyone inside, and people nearby too.

"This is….." Lucy trailed off. "Too much for us."

Barry and Danvers walked in at that very moment, seeing the footage, their smiling expressions turning to horrified ones.

"Who the hell is this guy?" Barry asked everyone present.

"Someone who is gonna kill a lot more people if we don't stop him", Danvers said grimly. Sharing a look, they blurred out.

"Good luck", Lucy whispered.

Middle-earth, Fangorn Forest

Sora, Donald and Goofy were nearly out of Fangorn, when they heard loud roaring, Donald asking. "What's that?"

They turned to the side, going there, and saw, to their horror, that a muscular, horned creature with teeth was running around. The Trio could have sworn they heard the forest itself groaning.

The creature turned to them, and roared loudly, making them take out their weapons, as it leapt at them, and they quickly dodged.

They spun around to fight again, when suddenly, a third eye opened up on its forehead, Sora now looking into it.

All he could see was the burning eye, while finding himself surrounded by darkness, and he froze, Donald and Goofy both confused.

"Sora?" Donald called out.

The creature made to charge again, when suddenly, a silver-haired man leapt in out of nowhere, swinging a sword as he struck the creature, making it screech while he rolled to its other side, Sora coming back to normal as he shook his head.

"It was just like the dark Heartless in Moria", Sora told his two Companions, as the silver-haired man backed off from the creature, and made a sign with his hands that pushed it back.

The creature made to open its third eye, but the man threw some kind of bomb at it, which exploded upon the third eye, the creature screeching and staggering back as the eye closed.

Sora then charged it and with a flip, struck it across the face with the Fellowship, sending it flying into a tree, where it groaned. Before it could get up, Goofy bashed its face with his shield.

And finally, Donald cried out. "THUNDER!" Thunder came down upon the beast, finishing it off finally, as the thunder stopped, the creature lying dead.

Sora and Goofy walked to stand alongside Donald, as the man looked between all three of them, first the "human" duck, then, the "human" dog, and finally the boy, feeling a power even he couldn't comprehend as he was reminded of circumstances from a long time ago.

"Hmm." Geralt of Rivia grunted, before looking away. "Fuck."

"Mind yer language, sir", Goofy told him, Geralt doing a double-take at that.

"This is the strangest day", he muttered, before sheathing his sword. "What is this place?"

"Some kind of forest", Sora replied.

"I can see that, but where?"

"Think its Rohan", Donald told Geralt.

"And where's Rohan?"

"In Middle-earth", Goofy replied, Geralt running a hand across his head.

"What is Middle-earth?"

"Its this world's name", Sora responded, and now Geralt had to shake his head again.

"I hate portals!" He muttered, before he started to walk off.

"Hey, wait up!" Sora called out, as he, Donald and Goofy ran up next to Geralt. "I'm Sora, these are Donald and Goofy." They waved to him, as Geralt just looked at them. "Where are you going?"

"I was looking for someone", Geralt told them, but did not elaborate.

"Who're ya looking for?" Donald inquired out of curiosity.

"None of your business", Geralt told him, as he began to walk off again.

"Hey, maybe you could come with us on the road", Sora offered, making Geralt turn to him again.

"Seriously? Why-"

"We're looking for an army led by this Erkenbrand person", Sora informed Geralt. "And we can find them in a nearby village or something. Maybe one of them could help you?"

While Geralt was still confused, he decided this was the only choice, and shrugged. "All right then."

"Let's go", Sora said as the Trio started walking out with their newest companion.

"What's yer name though?" Goofy asked Geralt, who tilted his head, deciding he could share that at least.

"Geralt."

"Nice to meet you, Geralt."

Earth-216, Hall of Justice

The Zeta-Tube glowed as Superman, Superboy, Troia and Banner walked out, Banner looking around at the place. "Looks pretty high-tech." He looked at the closed Zeta-Tube. "First time I travelled in such a way willingly."

"Who is the new guy?" Nightwing inquired with a raised eyebrow. "We bringing civilians in here nowadays."

"Have you lost your mind?" Batman asked Superman, who shook his head.

"He is someone who needs help", Superman immediately said. "He is here from another Universe, got transported accidentally."

"And you believe that?" Batman asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Well, he did turn green and almost transformed into something", Superboy informed.

"Even more reason to not bring him here!" Batman snapped.

"Anyone feeling the aster?" Nightwing asked Zatanna, Kaldur, Megan and Rocket, who stood nearby, all of them having come here to catch up with the League and get some updates, while giving their own in return, with the remaining Team back at Mount Justice, under Captain Marvel's supervision.

"Look, I do not want to cause any trouble", Banner immediately said. "I just wanna go home, all right?"

"Where is your home?" Batman asked, annoying Banner.

"On the moon!" Banner answered sarcastically.

"Seriously?" Dinah Lance aka Black Canary inquired.

"Yeah, seriously. Of course not!" Banner snapped, the rest looking at him strangely. "I just ended up here, asked the Guy upstairs if He wants to throw more at me, turns out He does!"

"Wait, you actually asked Him?" Green Arrow inquired, just to be sure. With how this guy was, ya never know.

"No…..yes! Of course I did", Banner shrugged, before walking to a chair nearby, and sitting down, his arms folded.

"I believe he does not want to cooperate", Wonder Woman shrugged.

"Oh I do wanna cooperate, but the questions are unneeded!"

"Actually, they are needed", Rocket said from her end, Banner scoffing.

"If people stopped asking stupid questions, things could be done easier", Banner shrugged, before his eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at his hands.

"Oh my God. I've spent too much time with Tony", Banner said in realization.

"Well, until you answer us properly, we will not be doing much", Batman answered with a shrug.

"He is right", Superman told Banner.

"I'm sorry, its just…." Banner rubbed his head. "Been going through a lot lately, being randomly sent to a different world is getting to me, that's it."

"Understandable", Troia assured him. "Shall we all come to you when you're ready?"

"That'd be appreciated", Banner said with a smile.

"All right then", Black Canary shrugged.

"I'm getting strange vibes from him", Megan mentally told the rest of The Team. "And that's without reading his mind."

"Well, he is saying he is from another Universe", Kaldur pointed out. "That's crazy on its own."

"Should we believe that?" Rocket asked the rest of them.

"Trust me, after what I've seen, its not the most out-there thing", Zatanna informed Rocket as well as the others.

"Yeah, and I do think he looks tired, so we can wait for him to explain everything eventually", Troia added.

"Well, he is not a threat right now, so I think we can leave him be, even if he is from a different Universe, which is why I'm very whelmed", Nightwing made the final decision, the rest agreeing to it. "This year is not a good one, and if this guy is telling the truth, it has just gotten crazier."

The rest sighed, knowing what he was talking about. They'd lost Jason Todd, plus Wally and Artemis had left the team too. Then there was Garfield Logan, who'd lost most of the Doom Patrol at last year's end, with Megan having taken him in. He was still recovering.

Not to mention, Superboy and Megan breaking up. Though while both were saddened by the breakup, Superboy did not really regret it at day's end.

He regretted what Megan was doing, and his inability to get her to think of the consequences, but he did not regret breaking up with her.

As they started dispersing, Superboy asked Megan. "How is Gar?"

"Well, he has started talking more to me", Megan told him. "Which is an improvement from before."

"That's good", Superboy said, preparing to walk off, when Megan suddenly tapped her head.

"Hello Megan!"

Hearing that, Superboy turned around, narrowing his eyes. "What is it?"

"Uncle J'onn is not here, but I can-"

"M'gann, no!" Superboy warned her. "You can't just try and read some random guy's mind when he is too tired to talk properly, and has agreed to tell us everything later!"

"What if Batman is right? Better safe than sorry."

"Is it?" Superboy raised an eyebrow, as she glared at him.

"What do you mean?"

"Are you doing this for our safety, or for yourself?"

"How can you ask me that?" Megan asked, offended, and Superboy shook his head.

"Please, don't do this", he requested. "You know the consequences of it." Megan looked down, remembering what she'd done to him, which had made him break up with her.

Giving her one last look, Superboy walked off, while Megan looked up, glancing at Banner again. Reading his mind to figure out his intent wasn't wrong now, was it?

Earth-199999

Logan pressed a code in front of a safehouse upon a device, and after a moment, it beeped green, then the door opened up, Logan walking inside with Wade, Gambit and Bride behind him, and inside sat Maria Hill as well as Cameron Klein at the computers.

"Good to see you're here, Wolverine", Fury said as he walked out of the shadows, with Bucky and Luke Cage behind him.

"Were you standing there, waiting to do that?" Logan asked with a chuckle, before looking at Bucky. "Barnes, that really you?"

"I think…I think I remember you", Bucky noted as he tilted head while looking Logan up and down. "You helped us out during the war, and you…you didn't get hurt. How are you still alive?"

"Because I'm a Mutant", Logan shrugged, and then his claws popped out, Bucky giving those a look before Logan retracted them. "I don't remember much from during the war either, lost a lot of my memory", Logan gestured to his head, "but I remember some stuff, from back then, at least flashes of it." He smiled. "Either way, good to see you."

"Good to see you too", Bucky said in a slightly forced tone.

"So, this the entire rescue party?" Gambit asked no one in particular before rubbing his hands. "Well, Gambit is ready to have some fun here, huh?"

"Oooh yeah, fun", Wade said while rubbing his hands. "So, how much am I being paid?"

"Tell me, Mr. Wilson", Fury said as he walked to Wade. "Have you ever fought for what is right?"

"I mean, they call me 'Merc with the Mouth', not 'Heroic'-"

"Do you believe people should be imprisoned just for having powers?" Fury continued to inquire. "Including little children?" He held up his phone, showing Wade the scene where some of the MRD were attempting to arrest the little kid as his mom pleased, before Spyke saved them.

Logan looked sick to his stomach, Bride clutched her fists, and even Gambit was uncharacteristically silent.

However, Wade was too.

He lowered his head, as Fury turned it off, and put a hand to Wade's shoulder. "I'm giving you a chance here- to be a part of something bigger, and do the right thing."

Fury then walked off to Maria and Cameron, Wade muttering. "Damn! Sam Jackson really worked that Fury manipulation charm on me."

"Now, tell us where we need to go", Bride asked the SHIELD Agents.

"The prison we need to break into is called the Raft", Cameron told them, showing them the location on a large monitor connected to his and Hill's systems, with a satellite image of the prison, barely out of water. "Its underwater."

"Location is East River, New York City, United States", Maria added. "It took a lot to find this place, and even more to get the interior's specs, but we've a good enough idea. I'd to leave the Avengers to come here and do the right thing secretly alongside Fury and Klein here, instead of taking a public stand, so let's make this worth it."

"Where are they keeping the prisoners?" Luke inquired.

"Most of them in this section", Klein told them, highlighting the section. "And then two more smaller ones, but they've a lot of people."

"So, tell me, are you all ready to break into this place?" Fury asked all of them.

"You know I am", Logan pointed out with a shrug.

"I am as well", Bucky told him.

"Just take us there, and we'll get it done", Bride added with a smirk.

"I know this needs to be done", Luke agreed too.

"I didn't know my daddy, sadly", Gambit said as he looked between Logan and Fury. "But I know I shot out of his dick ready!"

"Ew, you could have said it without that graphic content", Maria muttered, Gambit just chuckling at that.

"I….I am ready", Wade finally said as he looked up. "I'm so gonna shove pencils up the guards' asses, twist their nipples, and make pumpkin pie out of them!" Then, raising his hands to either side, he declared. "I will save everyone for I am…Marvel Jesus!"

That was when he noticed looks of disgust and confusion from everyone.

"Sweet Christmas!" Luke commented.

Earth-38, National City

SWAT were hiding behind their armored truck, as one of them asked their leader. "What do we do?"

"Fire a missile!" The leader cried out.

"But we tried that already, sir!" Another one said.

"Then use something bigger!" The leader replied in panic, unable to think properly himself.

"Nothing we're doing is working!" The first one said, which was when the truck moved, being lifted up into the air.

The SWAT team looked in utter horror at the blood-covered Viltrumite, who held up the truck in just one hand.

"I wonder how many of you vermin I'll have to kill before someone actually tries to stop me." Agron casually dropped the truck on the SWAT team, crushing and splattering them all, after which he shrugged. "Maybe a thousand more."

That was when a flying blur tackled him away, and Danvers started pummeling his face with powerful punches.

To her horror, Agron was unphased. "Is that all?"

With a smirk, he punched her off, making her crash to the ground, breaking it, and then, flying closer, he casually levitated up before approaching her as she wiped off, to her shock, blood from her lip.

"It took me killing hundreds of these weaklings to get a response, and this is the best this planet has?" Agron sounded almost offended at what he perceived to be a mockery.

The Viltrumite made to punch her again, but she was blurred away.

Barry got Danvers away by some distance, supporting her as he asked. "You okay?"

"That…hurt." Danvers groaned as she stood up with his help, before Barry saw her eyes widening, and he immediately turned his head at speed to see Agron reaching for him.

Barry immediately ran and leaned backwards to dodge, only barely avoiding the strike as he fell down, rolling away.

Agron leapt at him but Barry sped off at the last moment, cornered by a wall, which Agron punched and shattered as Barry dodged, and they faced each other, Barry dodging two more punches, and then a third, which shattered the wall, after which Agron's shoulder slammed into Barry, sending him flying off and hitting the wall before falling down.

Getting up, Barry scrambled away just as Danvers flew in, punching Agron once, then twice, only for Agron to grab her third swing and headbutt her hard, making her fall away.

At that moment, Barry ran around Agron, who just watched with zero emotion, just as Barry hurled a lightning bolt. To his horror, it barely phased him.

"Oh come on!" Barry groaned and made to run to build up speed for a supersonic punch, only for Agron to appear in front of him, and grab him by his calf, hanging him upside down.

Then, Agron squeezed.

CRACK!

Barry screamed in pain as the bone was broken, and he got tossed into a car, shattering the glass while he fell down, gasping in agony.

"You remind me of a buzzing, annoying little pest I encountered once in the Andromeda galaxy." Agron said as levitated over Barry's barely conscious body. "I desolated the planet. Perhaps I shall do the same to you."

That was when Danvers' Heat Vision struck him, making him grit his teeth as it pushed him to the ground, creating a trench while Danvers screamed, using all her power.

Then, she stopped, and flying at Agron, grabbed his uniform, flying him up.

However, she was unnerved to see that Agron had no anger or fear at all. He was smirking.

"Interesting."

In response, she punched him farther into the air. With that, she flew into him, punching him back twice, Agron making no move to block or dodge.

With that, she fired powerful breath from her mouth, but to her horror, Agron resisted it pretty much.

And so, she flew to punch again, only for Agron to block it. After that, he drove under her jaw, making her scream as her mouth bled. Letting her go, Agron backhanded her away, making her crash into the ground, creating a crater in the city.

Shrugging, he folded his arms and waited, seeing the smoke clear, and then Danvers flew back, bleeding and bruised, but still determined.

She flew at him but he easily side-stepped, grabbed her wrist, and made her punch herself, giving her a nosebleed as she screamed, and then grabbing her hair, Agron brought it down on his knee twice, bloodying it even more, and Danvers now even had tears in her eyes, but she refused to give in.

Agron punched her abdomen twice, making her spit out blood, before he let her go.

"You have a measure of strength and speed, but nowhere near that of a true Viltrumite."

Even though she was badly wounded, Danvers let a look of defiance cross her face.

"I think you'll find I'm strong enough!" Danvers exclaimed, and threw a punch, only for Agron to duck under the swing and bury his fist into her ribs, making her spit out more blood, before he grabbed her by the hair so he could look her in the eye.

"Evidently not. Still, the Empire may find some use for you. Perhaps whatever offspring you welp can cause me to spare your life."

Agron's grin made Danvers' blood chill at the implication, before her eyes lit up and Heat Vision struck his eyes, making him grunt and back off, before she grabbed his head, and unleashed a full blast of Heat Vision to his face.

It burnt Agron's skin, making him grunt due to the power, but he was not giving up either. He held up his hands, and covered Danvers' eyes, blocking the beam, before pulling her head down on his knee, making her scream, after which he let her go and gave an uppercut, sending her flying off into the sky.

Then, he reached above her, and kicked her hard, sending her falling back into National City, the people seeing their heroine crash as a crater was formed.

They could only scream and run in horror as Agron landed, shaking and breaking the ground, and before Danvers could do anything, he grabbed her by the neck, his other fist reared back.

"A lesson in obedience then? How wonderful."

Agron's grin was sadistic, but he never got a chance to unleash the punch.

Something strong struck his cheek, launching him through three buildings and spinning in the air before he finally managed to stop himself.

With his enhanced eyesight, the Viltrumite found a man of equal height, but more muscular, wearing the same blue and red getup, and the shield symbol upon his chest.

However, the glower on his face, with the red glow of his eyes made Agron pause.

Superman and Agron stared each other down, the former's eyes showing barely suppressed rage as the latter's eyes showed indifference, but with a hint of annoyance.

"I take it by the matching crests, she is your relation? A wife perhaps?"

"She is my cousin." Clark uttered with a dangerous calm in his voice. He'd been away on a mission against Intergang with J'onn and Alex, but James had contacted him just in time, and now here he was.

"Hmm." Agron stroked his chin, eyeing the downed female, barely able to push herself up, and then her defender.

The dark-haired man was different, more experienced for sure, based on his stance. A soldier who had lived as long as he could recognize those who knew how to fight.

"I can't place your race, don't even know what world-"

Clark blurred over to Agron and began beating his face brutally in as he flew them away from the city, into a deserted area.

As he continued to punch Agron, Clark grabbed his throat and hissed. "You're not the first to attack Earth." Then he punched Agron down to the desert where he'd flown them, a massive plume of sand rising, a crater made by the impact as Clark landed and marched closer.

"And you won't be the last."

"This isn't an attack." Agron staggered up and sucker-punched Clark, staggering him back, before punching him thrice, sending him back again, after which he swung again, but Clark caught the fist, only for Agron to grab his throat and throw him down.

"If it was, you'd all be dead, or on your knees."

Clark quickly got up, then grabbed him as they both flew up, punching and kicking each other, the impact causing mighty shockwaves that shifted the sand all around and made everything shake, with their knees clashing too, though Agron was taking slightly more damage.

"I personally prefer dead!" Agron shouted as he threw a punch that sent Clark spiraling away. "No one denies the Viltrumite Empire."

Clark righted himself and glared hard at Agron.

"I know of more than thirty galaxies, and I've never heard of a Viltrumite."

Agron's surprise showed clearly on his face. Where in the Universe was he?

"And I've never heard of a being quite like your kind, or the females."

"Kryptonian, so you know what to say when they ask what happened to you."

Agron laughed and smiled. "Part of me is starting to like you, the other part wants to rip off your skull and use it as a chalice." The Viltrumite crossed his arms and floated around Superman, circling the Kryptonian as he mimicked the action. "Considering the abilities both your cousin and you have shown, I offer a proposal."

"Do you now?"

"Pledge service to Viltrum, this planet will be spared and saved by the Empire. In return, you become a soldier in service to Grand Regent Thragg. You will receive vast pleasures for your dedication, I assure you. In return," the way he smiled made Clark's skin crawl, "due to your "nature", I suggest you mating with Viltrumite women to help repopulate our race. Your powers, along with our own, well, I suppose that would make even the mightiest mightier." The expressionless face of Superman made it hard to decipher his feelings, but it did not deter Agron from continuing.

And that was his mistake.

"Your cousin, also, would have to be given to the men of-"

Agron would not realize it then, but he should have known as soon as those words left his mouth, that he was fucked.

Superman vs General Zod Final Battle Soundtrack resumes playing

Clark screamed as he fired Heat Vision into Agron's eyes, making him yell, blinding the Viltrumite for a moment, making it hard for Agron to see where Clark was coming from, and next moment, he was barraged on all sides by the speeding hero, whose blows cause blood to fly and his uniform to tear, with Agron unable to react.

Then, his vision finally returned just in time to block a punch from Clark, before decking him back, and then he punched Clark hard on the chest thrice, sending him back, after which he blurred, punching Clark from different directions, making him bleed too while his suit was torn.

The two then flew and slammed into each other, causing another huge shockwave as both crashed onto the ground, sending massive plumes of sand flying into the sky, but before Agron could react, Clark used a quick burst of super breath to send him flying into the sky.

Then, flying up, he grabbed Agron and bashed him into the ground, before firing Heat Vision, burying him even deeper.

When Clark stopped, Agron emerged from the sand behind him with a burning chest and grabbing him by the cape, spun him around with it before throwing him up and landing an uppercut.

Clark took off the cape at that moment in time and as Agron swung, Clark got behind him and managed to wrap it around Agron.

The indestructible material made it perfect for Clark to restrain Agron and beat in his face over and over again, Agron screaming from the pain as he was brutalized.

Agron, enraged, managed to unwrap himself as Clark flew out of the Earth's atmosphere, Agron flying up after him, with Agron throwing a punch that sent Clark back, after which he returned the favor.

Their fists clashed, sending out a shockwave from the power, before Clark noticed the position of the sun, then turned back to Agron.

Agron punched Clark, sending him flying up, then punched him twice again, Clark making no move to block, as Agron continued to punch and kick him over and over, Clark bleeding badly as he was pushed upwards.

That was when Agron noticed something. However, it was too late.

Clark's injuries were healing now, and when Agron punched, it made his own fist bloodied instead, and when he did it again, his other fist shared the same fate too.

Screaming, he punched at Clark even harder, but his own fists were breaking now, and were getting even more bloodied.

Looking up in horror, he asked. "What are you?"

Clark was glowing with the sun's power now, and he grabbed Agron before flying them closer to the surface of the sun.

Agron struggled, screaming and trashing, but it was hopefully, his screams turning to ones of agony as his suit and skin were burning now.

Clark was beginning to glow red, white, and yellow, becoming a star himself.

The last thing Agron saw before his corneas burnt, was Superman's eyes glowing brighter, as a powerful sun-dipped Heat Vision launched the Viltrumite from the sun to the Earth, right in the middle of the Sahara.

A massive crater formed, the sand turning to glass for miles as the impact was felt all over, and at the center, the burned husk of the once proud and sadistic Viltrumite Agron was lying.

Clark landed, the glow fading as soon as his feet touched the sand-turned-glass ground, before looking down at the smoking form as Agron letting out whimpering groans.

"Nothing...will stop the...Empire."

And then, his heart finally stopped.

Universe-8096, Moon

Star-Lord, Rocket, Groot and Quasar looked up at the fiery glow, all of them very tense, but still ready, knowing they were the only ones standing between the Phoenix Force, and the Earth.

"No way we can stop that", Rocket muttered in horror.

"Doesn't me can't try", Quasar replied, ready to fight it.

"I am Groot", Groot snarled, as the shape of the Phoenix formed before them.

"Stand fast, Guardians", Star-Lord said, raising his blasters as he hovered in the air before the other three. "Today's a day as good any to fight."

Earth-1, Marais, Louisiana

"Why are we in a swamp?" Andy asked Constantine, who led all of them into Bayou Swamp, walking in the front while the rest walked behind him.

"Gotta say, worst spot for a vacation!" Ash added.

"Don't think this town would be on anyone's vacation spot list", Kelly told him in response, as they were now in front of the place's water.

"No, but I can sense something here", Carrie told the rest, grasping her head. "Some powerful darkness is in this swamp."

"Then why are we here?" Pablo asked.

"Are we gonna meet someone here as well?" Kyle inquired of Constantine.

"Who the fuck would live in a swamp?" Mia wondered, Constantine smirking.

"Oh, you've no idea, luv", Constantine replied, before calling out loudly. "Oi, Swampy!"

A few seconds passed, ten seconds, twenty seconds, then suddenly-

STOMP! STOMP!

The swamp began to shake, the group feeling something huge making its way towards the group. The Ghostbeaters, Andy, Kyle and Alice raised their weapons, but Constantine held up his hand, making them lower their weapons, while Carrie felt it.

As they turned, they saw two red eyes looking at them, before a shape rose out of the shadows themselves, and as they saw it clearly, they saw just what it looked like.

It seemed to be made out of vegetable matter, being a mound of it, with the thing being a mix of the vegetable matter and the soil of the swamp on here.

Swamp Thing 2019 theme plays

A few seconds later, a young, beautiful woman with long and dark hair walked up next to the creature, pretty much unbothered by its presence, while some of Constantine's group looked at it in shock.

"Hello, Swamp Thing", Constantine greeted the big creature, while he turned to the woman. "Abby."

"Hi Constantine", Abby Arcane greeted him with a little wave.

The creature known as Swamp Thing tilted its head as it examined Constantine. "Constantine…."

They stared at each other for a few seconds, before Swamp Thing finally said. "It is an honor to meet you again."

"Yeah, nice to see you again", Abby added as she walked forth, holding out her hand, shaking it with Constantine.

"Now, who is this guy?" Ash asked, gesturing to Swamp Thing, before smirking at Abby. "Nice of you to meet me, of course."

Abby chuckled, Constantine turning to introduce them. "The lady here is Abby Arcane, former doctor in the CDC." He gestured to Swamp Thing. "And that is Swamp Thing, the protector of greenery on the planet, but mainly this bog." It growled, Constantine shrugging while he turned to them. "And these are people I know- that sod's Ash", Ash waved with a smirk. "Kelly, Pablo, Andy, Mia, Kyle, Alice and Carrie."

They all nodded or waved, with Ash asking. "Now how do you know this hottie, and a literal fucking swamp?"

"It was a couple of months ago", Constantine explained to them. "Zed, Chas and yours truly sensed darkness in this sodding town, so we came to investigate, and saved a friend of hers", Constantine gestured to Abby, "named Matt Cable from this mutated plant git named Jason Woodrue, who called himself Floronic Man, while our friends here", Constantine gestured to both Swamp Thing and Arcane, "saved his mommy dearest Lucilla, who'd been stabbed and nearly drowned in here, which is how we crossed paths, and then we fought Floronic Man together."

"Did you get him?" Carrie inquired.

"Unfortunately, no", Constantine said sadly. "Which is a bloody shame. He managed to escape."

"Escape you?" Mia inquired, finding that hard to believe, before gesturing to Swamp Thing. "Plus him? That's strange."

"Had a little bout with this Urban Ghost called Candyman and his lover Helen Lyle a short while before that, so I wasn't at the height of my power", Constantine explained. "But I did help them save another friend of Abby named Harlan who was being tortured in a facility."

"I still can't thank you enough for that", Abby said to Constantine, who formed a grin on his face.

"You see, that is why I'm here, luv", Constantine finally said, getting their attention. "I need the two of you to join us."

"Why?" Swamp Thing inquired.

"There's this being here, calling himself Lucifer", Constantine explained.

"And he is a fake one, what a chump!" Ash added from his own end with a chuckle.

"The Devil is real?" Arcane inquired in utter horror.

"He is, but this one ain't him, because the real one ran a nightclub in Los Angeles and helped the LAPD in solving cases, though he returned to Hell sometime ago."

"…Seriously?"

"Seriously. Anyways, the fake one wants to bring an Apocalypse across worlds, and he has convinced many to join his cause", Constantine finished his explanation. "So, I believe we could use someone like you, Swampy. What do you say, mate?"

"I sensed powerful darkness nearby, not too long ago", Swamp Thing revealed, to their shock. "Was that this fake Lucifer?"

"Now why would he come here?" Andy wondered.

"Woodrue." Constantine realized the reason.

"Damn it!" Arcane said in frustration. "This sounds bad!"

"I shall join you!" Swamp Thing declared, to Constantine's satisfaction. "Lucifer is a threat to the Green, perhaps even more so than the Darkness."

"Yep, this will surely kill any chance of a gardening project." Constantine quipped, gaining a glare out of Arcane.

"One thing." Constantine looked at Swamp Thing. "Where did this other Lucifer come from?"

A lightbulb seemed to light up in Constantine's head. "That…is a good question, mate." He looked at Carrie. "I haven't met him, but you have."

"Yes, so?"

"I did sense his energy myself earlier", Constantine admitted before he knelt down, picking up a stick, and using that, he drew a symbol.

"Showing off your artistic skills?" Kelly asked in jest.

"Yes I am, luv." Constantine finished drawing the symbol, then taking out some strange fluid, poured it onto the symbol, as it glowed.

Then, standing up, he chanted, and Carrie glowed alongside the symbol too, though she didn't feel any pain.

"I believe we're about to find out the answer to your question", Dalton informed Swamp Thing, just as a magical portal opened up next to Carrie.

"You fought him, so some of his energy is around you", Constantine told Carrie. "Wait here, I'll be back in a bit."

With that, he walked through the portal, and as it closed, he looked around, finding himself in a….

"….Garage sale?" Constantine wondered out loud. "The hell?"

"Who the hell are you?"

Constantine turned around and saw Sam, Dean, and Bobby pointing their guns at him.

"Sodding hate this meandering bollocks." Constantine muttered. "Let's make this quick- A fake Devil escaped confinement, attacked our Earth, recruited a bunch of freaks, and now wants to cause an Apocalypse across worlds. Got it?"

Hearing that, the three exchanged looks of surprise, then lowered their guns as Sam muttered asked. "So you're looking for our Lucifer?"

"Ah… this is his Earth."

"How do you know he is a fake exactly?" Dean inquired, just to be sure.

"I know this one is a poser because I know the real one!" Constantine revealed, surprising them again.

"We can explain a bit more about that", Sam revealed, getting Constantine's interest. "So, this Imp called Chuck wanted to be God, and he abducted and brainwashed an Angel named Castiel to explain Creation to him, after which he created many Universes…including this one!"

"Bloody Hell!" Constantine finally realized it. "And because this blimey idiot thought he is God, he created his own Angels….including Lucifer." He shook his head. "Shit… now this Chuck has gotta be the most pathetic being in the entire sodding Multiverse."

"Yeah, but then we ended up in the real Lucifer's Hell, where Castiel regained his memories, then the real Michael imprisoned Chuck", Dean added. "We thought that was that…until our Lucifer escaped."

"From what we know, Lucifer reached out to some people on another Earth, and they're horror movie killers over here", Sam explained, ready for Constantine's disbelief at that. "Like Michael Myers, Chucky and Tiffany, Jason Voorhees, Freddy Krueger, Candyman and Helen Lyle. Whenever they killed, he gained power until he was strong enough to break out."

"I know, that might sound pretty ridiculous even for guys like us, but believe me, we've actually met-" Dean was about to say before Constantine interrupted him.

"No, I definitely believe you, mate… because those wankers are from my Earth!"

Now the Winchesters and Bobby looked very surprised and shocked, Bobby unable to even form words.

"So… you're telling me on your Earth… there exists a bunch of horrific sons of bitches from the big screen… all at the same time?" Dean asked.

Constantine nodded.

"Your Earth sucks!"

"Only an idjit like you would enjoy living in a world like that", Bobby injected.

"What the bloody Hell did you just call me?" Constantine asked, annoyed by Bobby calling him that. "And it's not that bad. Not when it's got people such as Speedy boy, the bloody Dark Knight, and the Green Arrow, plus-"

The Winchesters' curiosity was piqued again as Sam asked. "You're from Oliver's world?"

"Yeah. Why? You know him?"

"We do, actually", Dean told him. "See, there was this time where we were transported to another Earth where some friends of ours live, and a Musical Demon was causing Musical Mayhem."

"Such as?"

"Making the entire town sing and dance", Sam told him. "We met Oliver Queen there, I guess he is the one from your world. We've one here too, but he is a hunter, not a superhero."

"Ah… the Multiverse sure is strange." Constantine muttered.

"Tell me about it." Dean said. "And who're you?"

"Name's John Constantine. I'm an accomplished warlock, an expert of the occult, and a master of exorcism. I'm also a Taurus, for those of you taking notes.

Dean groaned. "Great. Another Wizard. And on top of that dabbling dark magic. Have I mentioned how much I hate Witches?

Sam was exasperated. "Countless of times."

Dean rambled. "They spill bodily fluids everywhere! It's creepy and unsanitary!"

---

Ten minutes later

Dean was laughing as he drank some beer, Constantine sitting across from him and drinking some beer too.

"I take it back, Sammy, I love this guy!"

Sam shook his head. "He's a douche."

Dean shrugged. "Yeah, but he's my kind of a douche."

Sam rolled his eyes. "You only say that because he smokes, drinks, parties, gambles and flirts with everything pretty within eyesight. He's a British douchebag Wizard version of you!"

"Exactly! My man!" Dean raised his hand to Constantine, and Constantine high-fived him.

"Now what is it that you lot do?" Constantine inquired.

"We're Hunters", Bobby said to Constantine. "We are the ones here who know of the supernatural, which ya already figured."

"Saving people, hunting things, the family business", Dean explained the gist.

"And we've a bone to pick with Lucifer too, as a powerful Demon working for him manipulated our lives, and even our parents' lives", Sam revealed, clutching his fists angrily. "That was arranged by the Angels, or I guess, Chuck. But he needs to be stopped."

"So… wanna join forces in taking down a fake Devil?" Constantine asked, though he knew the answer.

"Hell yeah! Let's kick some Devil ass!" Dean replied.

Constantine smirked.

Earth-199999, George Bush Center for Intelligence, Langley, Virginia, North America

Tony Stark stood before Director Alan Hunley of the CIA, and Deputy Director Marion James of the CIA, telling them. "Well, what do you two say?"

"I believe these terrorists should be brought to justice for all their crimes as soon as possible!" Hunley declared firmly. "While the IMF agents on the run are a danger, people like these are an even bigger danger to everyone!"

"Can't say I disagree, and they think weapons of mass destruction should get equal rights!" Tony said with a scoff and chuckle. "Then they call me the Merchant of Death! I'm a genius and I know it, but these people don't even realize that they're being complete idiots!"

"And there she is", Marion said, pointing behind Tony as he turned to see a beautiful, blonde woman in a suit, with a short man standing behind her.

"Agent Carter", Tony said as he held out his hand, Sharon Carter shaking it. "Pleasure to have you with us on this mission."

"The pleasure is mine, in catching these fugitives", Sharon replied with a smile.

"She is our top field agent, trust me, you'll all get them", Everett assured Tony, who nodded.

"Just what I like to hear", Tony commented, turning back to Hunley and Marion. "Just borrowing her for a little bit, when its done, Agent Carter will be back where she belongs, helping CIA take names and kick ass, and all that sort of stuff."

"Good luck with your mission", Marion said to Sharon, who nodded with a smile.

New York City, Baxter Building

Reed, Susan, Johnny and Ben sat around the table, having plates in front of them, eating and talking happily.

"Then I heated up so hard it burnt the camera lens!" Johnny said, then laughed himself, the other three just looking amused by what he was saying. "Guess it couldn't handle my hotness."

"These puns are dull and repetitive, Johnny", Susan said to him. "Find some new material."

"Come on, the girls love it!" Johnny said confidently. "Even if I haven't seen any in a while, outside of you, but you're my sister and that'd be disgusting!"

"Drop the subject!" Ben said in a gruff voice, before stuffing his mouth with food, and Johnny did as asked.

"Been a while since we did this", Reed finally said.

"Did what?" Ben inquired.

"Just spend time together, the four of us", Reed told them. "Last time was before Ultron, after that it has been mess after mess."

"And it still is a mess", Johnny pointed out.

"Johnny!" Susan said in a tone that made him shut up, while she turned to Reed, holding his hand. "It's a mess, but at least we're together."

Reed nodded back at her with a smile, when there was a beep, and they turned to the monitors for the cameras, seeing Tony and Rhodes were down there.

"Now, I know you can stretch around the place, Reed, and we know you're there, so open up please", Tony said as politely as he could, the Fantastic Four sharing looks.

---

Few minutes later

The elevator opened as Tony and Rhodes walked out, Ben standing there as he asked gruffly. "What do ya want?"

"Help", Tony said, as the other three stared at the two. "In catching some people."

"What kind of people?" Susan inquired.

"Fugitives from the law", Rhodes told the four in no blunt terms. "And they pack some serious firepower, so we'll need your help."

"Did they commit crimes?" Reed asked, just to be sure.

"Some of them did, big enough to dwarf your intellect and mine combined, well, not really, but you know what I mean", Tony said to Reed.

"What about the rest of that lot?" Ben asked.

"Aiding and abetting, Ben", Rhodes pointed out to him. "They're guilty too."

"Look, we signed", Reed reminded the two. "Do we really need to do this?"

"Since you now work for the government, yes, you do", Tony told the four in no uncertain terms.

"What if we say now, tin-man?" Johnny asked, flaming up for just a second.

"Then it'd be Ross and his buddies who'll ask you, they aren't as nice as the two of us", Tony told Johnny with a firm look.

"Not a high bar now, is it?" Johnny inquired, but Susan put a hand to his shoulder.

"Don't make this any worse than it is", Susan told Johnny, and he glared at both Tony and Rhodes, before calming down.

"What happened to ya, Rhodey?" Ben wondered sadly.

"These are terrorists, Ben! I'm just doing what needs to be done!" Rhodes snapped.

"And everyone else whom you lot captured?" Susan inquired.

"They didn't sign when told to, so they're criminals too!" Tony responded back in kind.

"How long until we become the same thing to them?" Susan asked back. "People like them, they won't see a difference."

"We've signed, so we're on the right side", Tony assured them.

"Is it the right side?" Reed asked, and Tony didn't respond to that.

"Look, its either us or Ross, but you'll have to do this", Tony said finally. "Don't make this hard on yourself, it'll stretch you all out too much."

The Fantastic Four sighed, knowing they'd no choice, and finally, Reed asked. "What do we do?"

"First, I've been making some stuff to take on these people with the help of a mutual friend of ours", Tony told Reed, who wondered who this mutual friend was. "Just need you to look 'em over and make any modifications, then we're off to save the world!"

Middle-earth, Rohan

The wind swept across the rolling plains of Rohan, carrying the scent of grass and distant rain. The moon hung high, casting pale silver light over the world, its glow broken only by the flickering warmth of a small campfire. The plains stretched vast and empty, save for four figures resting near the flames.

Geralt of Rivia, sitting slightly apart, methodically sharpened his silver sword. His face was shadowed by the firelight, golden eyes reflecting its flickering dance. He was never one for idle chatter, and his new companions—Sora, Donald, and Goofy—had quickly learned that.

"I wish Roach was here."

"Who is that?"

"My horse." And that was all he said.

A snap of twigs signaled movement. Geralt rose, gathering firewood in measured, deliberate steps. The others were setting up camp, but he was already thinking ahead. If they wanted warmth tonight, they'd need more wood. If they wanted food, he'd have to hunt.

"Hey, Geralt," Sora's voice called out, breaking the stillness.

Geralt turned, his sharp gaze falling on the boy. "What?"

"Where are you going?"

"To hunt for good."

To his surprise, Sora held out a small wrapped parcel. "You don't have to go hunting. We've got food."

Donald gave a nod. "Lembas bread! One bite is enough to fill a grown man's stomach!"

Goofy chuckled. "Well, unless that grown man's real hungry."

Geralt raised an eyebrow, taking the offered package with some hesitation. He unwrapped it and took a small bite. The taste was… bland, yet oddly rich. He chewed thoughtfully, feeling a strange energy settle within him. It wasn't food in the traditional sense, but it satisfied something deeper, something primal.

"Not bad," he muttered. "Doesn't taste like much, though."

"It keeps you going," Sora said with a grin. "We got it back in Lothlórien."

Geralt gave a small grunt of acknowledgment and took another bite. He still wasn't sure what to make of these three, but they weren't a threat. That much was clear.

Sora, ever persistent, settled cross-legged across from him. "So…what are you exactly?"

"I'm a Witcher", Geralt finally told the Trio.

"Right", Sora nodded. "What exactly does that mean?"

Geralt sighed. He had spent a lifetime answering that question. "Means I hunt monsters for coin."

"Whoa, like Heartless?" Sora asked, eyes wide with curiosity.

"What are Heartless?" Geralt asked in confusion.

"When darkness takes over yer heart, it becomes a Heartless", Goofy explained to Geralt, who tilted his head in curiosity. "And the rest of ya becomes a Nobody."

"…Sounds like a mess", Geralt finally said.

"It is!" Donald told him.

"Well, something like Heartless and Nobodies," Geralt answered the earlier question, rubbing a hand over his stubbled jaw. "Cursed creatures. Beasts out of nightmares. I track them, kill them. Like the one you met in the forest."

"Thanks for the save there", Sora said to Geralt.

"Though, hunting and killing monsters…..sounds kinda lonely," Goofy said, his voice gentle.

Geralt didn't answer. He continued staring into the fire.

"You travel alone?" Sora asked.

"Usually."

"And you're looking for someone," Sora pressed, trying to draw more out of him. "Who is this person?"

Geralt paused, his grip tightening on the remains of the Lembas. His instincts told him not to trust so easily. But something in the boy's voice—earnest, warm—reminded him of another. Someone younger, full of questions, full of spirit.

"Her name is Ciri," he finally said. "I'm looking for Ciri."

Sora blinked. Then his expression shifted, his brows furrowing in surprise. "Wait… Ciri? White hair, green eyes, kinda serious, but really strong and skilled?"

Geralt's head snapped toward him, every muscle tensing. "You've seen her?"

"Twice," Sora said. "First time, she helped my friends save me from this guy called Master Xehanort. Second time, all of us fought a nightmare together, and defeated him, then spent some time together before parting ways. We actually made a team together, but we haven't seen each other since last time."

Donald and Goofy both nodded in agreement. "Yup, Ciri was something!" Goofy said.

Geralt's breath hitched for just a moment, but his expression remained controlled. "Where?"

Sora frowned, rubbing the back of his head. "Like I said, it's been a while. I don't know where she is now. I'm sorry."

The Witcher exhaled slowly, his fingers loosening. He'd been looking for her, the thought of someone actually seeing her made something tighten in his chest.

Sora, watching him carefully, offered a small smile. "She seemed… haunted," he admitted. "Like she was carrying a lot."

Geralt stared at the fire. "She's been through more than she should have," he admitted quietly. "More than I could protect her from."

Sora's expression softened. "I don't think she needs protecting anymore."

Geralt turned to him, his golden eyes unreadable.

"You care about her," Sora continued, voice steady. "That's enough for her. I bet she knows that."

The Witcher said nothing for a long time. Then, slowly, the tension in his shoulders eased. A small, almost imperceptible smile ghosted across his lips.

"Maybe," he murmured.

The fire crackled between them, and for the first time since he had arrived in this world, Geralt didn't feel entirely alone.

Earth-199999, Krakoa

Magneto put on his cape, then looked at his helmet, before looking ahead, prepared to do whatever it took, with Juggernaut, Pyro, Mimic and Mastermind all standing behind him, waiting for his orders.

"Now", he began. "We-"

He stopped on hearing Gateway's voice within his head.

"They're coming!"

"Who?" Magneto asked out loud while thinking it too, confusing the other four.

"Iron Man. War Machine. The Fantastic Four. They've one of us, and very powerful machines…..made to end us!"

"Sage!" Magneto cried out, making Sage turn to him from her computer. "Tell me what's out there?"

Sage typed on her computer, but access was blocked. "They cut me off from everywhere!" She sighed. "And they're good. It'll take even me a little while to overcome their firewalls!"

The Brotherhood shared looks of surprise, as did other Mutants in the area.

"Gateway!" Magneto called out to him mentally. "We need to get the non-fighters out of here!"

Only, about a second later, a portal opened in the room, and Gateway stumbled in, before shaking his head sadly.

Magneto's face showed the horror that he was stricken with, realizing that the intruders had actually managed to BLOCK Gateway's portals beyond a certain range.

"Esme, listen to me!" Magneto thought about her, and she listened to his voice in her mind.

"What is it?" Esme's voice asked him, an edge to her, as they'd not spoken all that much since their last important talk, which involved Magneto choking her with a metal cable. "What do you want me to do about this attack?"

"Tell Pietro to get help for us. Get the Avengers!"

"Aren't they the ones coming after us?"

"Two of them, but the REAL Avengers are not with them! Find them, they will help us! Captain America will help us!"

Esme did not reply, but Magneto knew that she was going to do just what he'd asked her to do.

"What do we all do now?" Pyro asked their leader.

"Give our guests the kind of welcome they deserve", Magneto said darkly as he summoned his helmet to him, before looking ahead with anger.

---

Few minutes later

Magneto flew out and upwards, with Juggernaut, Pyro, Mastermind and Mimic standing below, and there, they saw Iron Man and War Machine hovering in the air, while the Fantasticar landed nearby, with the Fantastic Four stepping out, and then out of a small jet, Sharon Carter stepped out too, wearing a jacket with a hoodie now, and with her was Avalanche, a collar around his neck.

However, what had all of their attention were large robots with yellow eyes, all hovering in the air behind Iron Man and War Machine, everyone getting an ominous feeling from them, even Magneto.

"Avalanche, turned traitor to save your skin I see", Magneto greeted with in a fake amicable tone.

"They've this around me!" Avalanche snapped as he pointed at the collar. "And even if they didn't, you left me to get picked up by them!"

"You attacked Xavier's School, that is one thing we do not do", Magneto pointed out why he'd done that, before looking at Tony. "Mr. Stark, how'd you find this place?"

"Picked up a Mutant who can track other ones, handy for us", Tony quipped, Magneto just glaring at him.

Down below were various 'civilian' Mutants, as well as children.

"Get out of here!" Magneto called out to them, and immediately, they all started moving away.

"You can come peacefully, and this won't get any worse than it is", Sharon warned, only for Magneto to scoff.

"If you wanted this to be peaceful, you wouldn't have brought in those things", Magneto snarled as he pointed at the robots.

"Sentinels, designed just for 'special needs' like you", Tony shrugged, the Brotherhood glaring angrily at the group.

"Please, just do what they say", Reed almost begged Magneto. "Otherwise-"

"Otherwise, we will arrest you for being the wanted criminals that you are!" Tony cut Reed off as he glared at Magneto.

"If you truly care about these people, then prove it", Rhodes snarled.

"Krakoa does not extradite their own!" Magneto declared powerfully as his cape fluttered. "And threatening the people here? That's a new low for you all. I thought you were just asking."

"I wasn't asking", Tony warned.

"I know. Your kind don't "ask"." Magneto looked at Tony, then Rhodes, then the Fantasticar, and finally, the Sentinels, "Clever Homo Sapiens. No metal." He put his helmet on his head. "That won't save you."

With that, the Sentinels started blasting on the ground as various Mutants all ran here and there in terror, as Magneto glared angrily and then, a train compartment hit one Sentinel, sending it flying back, Magneto holding out his hand.

The train had been made recently alongside an entire railway track, for the residents of Krakoa to tour the island, and witness the natural beauty of their sanctuary.

Unfortunately, because of this, that would have to wait.

"Run! Run for your lives!" Magneto cried out as all the Mutants continued to run.

"Guys, do what you were told to", Tony said as he looked at the Fantastic Four, all of them looking reluctant.

Reed started. "Tony, ple-"

"Do it!"

Reed sighed in resignation, as Ben moved forwards, with Juggernaut glaring at him as he put his own helmet on, while Johnny lit up and took off into the air, Pyro glaring up at him.

The fight had begun!

---

Pietro and Wanda were in their quarters, readying to go out and fight, when both heard the voice of Esme in their heads.

"Pietro, your father needs your help."

"We're going out to give it, then tell him 'we told you so, so you should've seen it coming'", Pietro told Esme.

"No, he needs you to do something else."

"What's that?" Pietro asked.

"Get help!"

"Help?" Wanda asked back mentally. "Who will help us?"

"Your father believes that Captain America and his allies will help us against these people."

The ground was shaking by now as Pietro scoffed. "Father and his-"

"I don't think he is right about this, but even then, if there is a chance, we can do this. You're fast Pietro, even if they don't come, you can come back and help your father."

Wanda and Pietro shared a look, Wanda looking conflicted, but Pietro sighed, holding her hand. "I'll be back soon, little sister."

"Don't be long", Wanda said to him, the two touching foreheads for a bit, before parting.

"Where are they?" Pietro asked Esme at that point.

"Found them", Gateway's voice came to them. "In New York City, in this place called Fogwell's Gym in Hell's Kitchen."

"On my way!" Pietro sped off, Wanda's clothes fluttering briefly as various objects in the room were shifted, overturned or thrown off from how fast he'd run off, and out of Krakoa.

Wanda's face was full of determination.

"I'm going out to fight."

---

Magneto threw another train compartment at the Sentinels but Tony blasted it apart. Rhodes rained down gunfire upon them as Magneto put another train compartment in the way to defend, and it took all the shots.

---

Juggernaut charged at the Thing at full momentum, Thing bracing himself and meeting the charge head-on, their fists colliding in a shockwave that shattered the building ground beneath them, Ben being sent sliding back by a few feet, his teeth grit.

Roaring, Ben charged at Juggernaut, punching him once, then twice, slightly staggering him, before Juggernaut gave an uppercut which sent Ben flying up and crashing onto the ground, groaning, but he got up just as Juggernaut charged and rammed into him, sending him flying off and crashing again this time.

"Very tough", Juggernaut mocked as Ben got back up, growling.

"Come on, big guy!" Ben challenged Juggernaut, who charged with a roar once more, but this time, Ben managed to sidestep at the last moment and grasping Juggernaut's arm, flipped him forwards, sending him rolling away and crashing down the building, making the entire island shake briefly.

Ben leapt down right after him.

---

Johnny Storm was hovering in the air, looking down upon Pyro with a smirk. "Come on, fire guy! You really wanna do this?"

Pyro smirked back and ignited flames on his own hands. "I don't just start fires. I control them."

Johnny blasted a huge fireball at Simon but he caught it midair with his own power, and twisted it into a small but swirling inferno.

"Okay, I'll admit- that's pretty cool. Or hot."

Pyro surrounded himself with the inferno, then hurled it at various Sentinels, burning them all as many went down, while some turned to him, but another strike by a train compartment hurled by Magneto threw them back.

Johnny flew downwards, firing a wide fire-wave which actually forced Simon to leap back by a bit, after which he fired at Simon, and Simon fired back, their flames clashing against each other as both glared.

They both backed off, before Simon held out his hand, and tried to seize control of Johnny's own flames.

Johnny felt the fire twisting away from him, bending unnaturally, and quickly shot out into the sky, out of Simon's range.

"Damn show-off!" Simon snarled.

"Yeah, sorry bud. You don't get to drive this hotness!"

Johnny blasted down a lot of blasts from above, Simon countering with his own as he was forced to step back.

---

Mimic was squaring off against Avalanche, having taken some powers from Juggernaut and Simon beforehand. "All right, let's give you what you deserve, traitor."

Avalanche slammed his hands onto the ground, sending massive tremors towards Mimic, but having taken Juggernaut's durability, he stood his ground, barely flinching.

"Cute trick, let's see how you handle this."

Raising his hands, Avalanche unleashed a direct seismic wave, forcing Mimic to leap out of the way before the ground beneath him collapsed into a deep fissure.

Mimic then retaliated by firing blasts of fire that sped at Avalanche, but he unleashed another seismic wave that split the flames apart, scattering them in random directions.

---

Anole was sticking to a little cliff, as he looked at some other Mutant kids. "Make a small group, and-"

He was cut off when Rhodes unleashed his sonic canon upon him, making Anole gasp in pain before he fell down with a groan, and then Sharon fired at him, a collar forming around his neck as he gasped, cut off from his powers.

"RUN!" He cried out to the other kids, who started running, some Sentinels blasting at them before Magneto ripped out huge pieces of his building and put those in the way, the pieces getting destroyed as he hurled the rubble at the Sentinels, shoving them back.

Bling tried to shield some others, forming her diamond skin, but before it could fully form, Tony blasted her, making her roll away on the ground, the diamond skin disappearing, while Sharon fired and the collar formed around Bling too.

"Do we really need to do this?" Reed asked the three of them. "These are children!"

"Dangerous ones, Reed!" Tony said to him as Rockslide leapt at him from behind, and Reed screamed before hurling out his hand, and it stretched, grabbing Rockslide by the feet as he fell down onto the ground.

"I'm sorry!" Reed said as a tear rolled down his cheek, with Sharon quickly firing and collaring him as well.

"Good work", Sharon told Reed, but it just felt like an insult to him at the moment, as he processed what he'd just done. "Put them inside."

Reed looked conflicted, but seeing her look, he stretched his hands, grabbing the three collared kids, and putting them inside the jet.

Dust then turned into her sand form and started bombarding them, Tony and Rhodes being sent flying back as Sharon and Reed ran back to save themselves.

"SUE!" Tony called out to Susan, who watched the sight, conflicted. "Susan, we brought you here to help us! Do it!"

Susan still watched, before Sharon told her. "Otherwise, you'll be obstructing justice."

Her hands shaking, Susan held them up, and out, a force field forming around Dust's sand form, and slowly constricted it, Dust gasping as she came back to normal, and Susan made the force-field disappear, Dust dropping before Sharon fired and collared her.

Susan looked at her still shaking hands, tears rolling down her cheeks, looking like she wanted to cut these hands off because of what she'd just done, while Reed reluctantly put Dust inside the jet too.

---

Magneto hurled more metal debris at the Sentinels, blasting them back, while defending himself with an electromagnetic field, before three Sentinels blasted at it together, sending Magneto crashing through his building as its debris fell here and there, with some Mutants getting crushed.

'Down With The Sickness' by Disturbed starts playing

Seeing that, Magneto landed on the ground, the field around him disappearing as he fell to his knees, tears in his eyes while the images of the concentration camps and Mutants in imprisonment flashed in his mind.

"THEY SHALL BE AVENGED!" Magneto cried out in utter rage before magnetically lifting up the entire train and using it like a whip, bashing three Sentinels back, and as another tried to fire, Magneto bashed its head twice, shattering it, and then he bashed on two more, taking them out too.

Taking the opportunity, Tony fired at Magneto from behind, only for a red wave of energy to cover Magneto, protecting him from the blast, and Magneto turned to see Wanda, holding out her hands, that were covered with red energy.

She lowered the shield as Magneto nodded at her in between his tears, and she nodded back, before glaring up at Stark.

"Stark."

"Wanda Maximoff, you're under arrest."

"Am I?" Wanda asked with a smirk. Tony was about to fire when Wanda used her powers to bring rocks down upon him from behind, burying him.

"Multiple contusions detected", FRIDAY's voice told Tony.

"Yeah, I detected that too."

---

New York City, Hell's Kitchen, Fogwell's Gym

Steve and the rest were discussing their next move, when suddenly, there was a 'whoosh', and a lot of things fell here and there, with their clothes fluttering, and next moment, Pietro stood there amongst them, having run at record speed.

"Pietro?" Natasha asked in surprise. "What are you doing here?"

"Krakoa is under attack!" Pietro informed the group of five. "Father sent me to get help from all of you!"

"Who is attacking it?" Steve inquired.

"Stark, his friend War Machine, a traitor, some agent woman, the Fantastic Four, and these giant robot things", Pietro informed them, as they shared looks of horror.

"I think I need to put an arrow in all of them", Clint said in disgust.

"They're taking everyone they can, I want to help, instead I got sent here!" Pietro snapped.

"Avengers, let's go!" Steve immediately said to the other four, to the surprise of Pietro, and on seeing his look, Steve said firmly. "Innocent people need help. There's nothing else about it."

After a moment, Pietro nodded, as Scott said. "I think I can get those robots."

"I'll take on Rhodey", Sam added, the five of them going off to get ready.

"We've a Quinjet hidden", Natasha said to Pietro. "The moment we're ready, which won't take long, take us to it, and we'll go to Krakoa together."

Pietro nodded once more, muttering to himself. "Didn't see that coming."

Earth-38, Fortress of Solitude

Danvers and Barry got up with groans, sitting on the bed, sighing in relief, having been healed in this place, as Clark sat near them.

"I know you two heal fast, but I'd advice against getting into scrapes for a while", Clark told them both gently. "I'm sorry I didn't come sooner."

"You came, that's all that matters", Danvers said with a smile that Clark returned. "How is the city?"

"Helped with repairs", Clark said to her. "Gonna take a while, but they'll rebuild." He turned on the TV, changing it to a certain channel.

"The unnamed alien caused a lot of loss of life, and property damage in billions, but National City is showing its resilience as it is already recovering, in no small part to the aid by the Man of Steel himself."

Footage of Clark clearing up debris and neatly stacking it up was shown.

"The Man of Steel, who put a stop to the alien's rampage, but not before Supergirl and a new superhero called the Blur took the fight to the alien too. Supergirl's willingness to fight for National City has redeemed her in the eyes of many!"

Danvers winced, looking at Clark. "Sorry about that-"

"Its fine, as long as you learn", Clark assured her as he stood up. "Though, another me? Regret missing that."

"He was a lot like you, just…..larger and more muscular."

"Now you're just being hurtful."

"The Man of Steel is the hero of the hour once more."

There was cheering for Clark in the TV, the cousins sharing a chuckle at their jokes as Barry asked. "What'd you do with that guy?"

"In the sun", Clark said, and Barry's eyes widened, before he nodded.

"Right."

Danvers noted Clark's look. "What is it?"

"He was one, of an entire race."

Meaning there was more of their kind out there, the thought sending chills down the spines of Danvers and Barry both.

"I looked over all data in the Fortress though", Clark told them. "There is no Viltrum at all!"

"I've an idea about that", Barry said, Clark turning to him. "Probably from another Universe too, just like me, and this other Superman."

The thought troubled the Super-Cousins, both sharing a look, Clark folding his arms. "Let us hope they do not cross over here, and that there are people in their Universe to deal with them."

Barry nodded with a wince. "I'm sorry, the Singularity and breaches are-"

"Don't!" Clark raised a hand, silencing Barry. "I've done this same thing before, many times. Trust me, it does not help."

Barry opened his mouth to reply, but then stopped, simply nodding with a smile.

"You know, meeting you in person….its something else."

Clark chuckled. "Eh, its nothing too big. I'm just a farmboy from Kansas." He started walking out. "Think its gonna take another day, and then you two can go." With that, he flew out.

"My cousin, always saving the world", Danvers told Barry fondly, as he nodded.

---

Universe-8096, Moon

Star-Lord, Rocket and Groot all crashed here and there, groaning in pain, while Quasar was on one knee, her nose and face bleeding while she glared up at the Phoenix Force.

With a roar, she got up, and fired her energy blasts, striking Phoenix Force, but, to her horror, this time, they did nothing, and Quasar's eyes widened in utter shock.

---

Earth

"Okay….that I did not expect", Ant-Man told the rest as he looked at the big rocket that had been formed in awe.

"Come on, you know how good I am!" Iron Man shrugged, then saw Black Panther, Yellowjacket, Beast and Mr. Fantastic glaring at him. "Of course, they're really good too, helped nicely. Big enough for all of us. But its nothing compared to the weapon we've made."

"Avengers, X-Men, Fantastic Four", Captain America said as he looked at all the assembled Heroes around them, the X-Men having been joined by Colossus now. "Let's end this!"

All nodded in agreement, Cyclops adding with a snarl. "With pleasure."

"Yep", Colossus smirked.

---

Magneto lay inside a giant, silver sphere, with Bishop, Quicksilver, Juggernaut and the rest all doing the same.

"How does this work again?" Mesmero inquired.

"Like this." Magneto pressed his fist as all the spheres closed up, then a few seconds later, they activated, and flew up into the sky.

Earth-216, Hall of Justice

Megan glanced at where Banner was, having fallen asleep on the chair. She breathed in, and then out, knowing she'd to do this.

If he was a threat, she'd have done a good thing. If not, no one would know.

And so, she closed her eyes and put her hands to either side of her head, trying to read Banner's mind, but what happened next, she was not prepared for that!

---

The Incredible Hulk- The Flower by Craig Armstrong plays

Megan saw herself in Banner's room in the former Avengers Tower, seeing some pictures nearby of Banner with people whom she didn't recognize.

"Let's see where you hide anything", Megan muttered, floating around the room, seeing the bed, then a carpet on the ground, before she passed a mirror. Only, she narrowed her eyes, and looked back into the mirror.

It was NOT her reflection staring back at her. It was a green-eyed shadow instead, the eyes big enough to be the only things seen in the mirror.

"What is…."

SMASH!

Before she could finish her sentence, a hand burst through the mirror from the other end, making her gasp as she backed off, and turning around, started to fly off.

Only, a dark shadow with a wide grin and red eyes appeared next to her, grabbing her in his palm, and pressing, Megan screaming in pain.

"Hate to break it to you, darling, but green ain't my color!" The figure said as he continued to squeeze her.

---

In the real world, Megan screamed in pain too, holding herself.

---

Megan finally phased out of the figure's grip, only to hear a loud sound behind her, and turned to see another green Hulk having smashed through the walls.

Before she could do anything, the green Hulk and the one that had grabbed her leapt at her from each end, and Megan kept herself intangible, hoping to avoid them.

They collided with each other, causing a shockwave which made everything shake.

Then, to her shock, the two rolled on the ground, punching and roaring at each other, as she realized she wasn't their target now. The green Hulk headbutted the one who'd grabbed her, before that one decked the green Hulk's abdomen, making him skid back by a few feet.

Taking advantage, Megan turned tangible and started flying away, only for an orange-scaled, clawed hand to punch up from the floor, sending debris everywhere. She tried to move out of the way and turned intangible once more, but for some reason, she'd a bad feeling about that as well.

She flew ahead, more hands emerging from the ground as roaring and growling was heard all around, Megan swerving to avoid all hands, and not looking back, too scared to do so.

One hand nearly grabbed her but she flew higher in the air to avoid, just as the entire Tower was brought down, turned into rubble, Megan avoiding due to her intangibility.

She then looked around at New York City, which continued to shake, the only thing Megan hearing being loud roars.

Screaming, Megan covered her ears, trying to tune it out, only to see a large shadow below her, and as she looked up, she saw a giant green figure falling towards her.

She tried to move out of the way, but it grabbed her and threw her down onto the ground.

---

Megan's body was slammed onto the ground into the real world, and then into a wall, before being slammed onto the ground again, making her whimper in pain.

---

Megan lay on the ground, as a Hulk stood behind her, beating his chest and roaring to the sky.

---

Megan's vision returned, as she saw a pair of normal-sized shoes before her. Looking up, she was a nervous but pissed off Banner looking down at her.

"GET OUT OF MY HEAD!"

That was when the Team, plus Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman arrived in the area, looking around at the cracks everywhere, and Megan staggering up.

"What happened?" Batman asked in a growl.

"Was this your plan? To read my mind while I slept?" Banner asked, gesturing to Megan, as the rest now realized what had happened. "Not a great plan."

Batman now glared at Megan. "You should have followed what was decided."

"But-"

"You think you can JUST BARGE INTO MY HEAD WITHOUT PERMISSION?!" Banner's voice got louder and deeper as his skin also went green in places, the rest tensing as they prepared to fight, before Banner pulled back and calmed down, taking deep breaths, walking backwards.

"Go!" Batman snarled to Megan in a tone that left no room for argument. "NOW!"

Lowering her head in shame, Megan walked off, as Superman told her from his end. "We've great power. We cannot use it on a whim based on what we want, you get me?"

A tear rolled down her eye as Megan nodded, and passed the Team, Nightwing added. "You shouldn't have done that."

She listened, then saw Superboy in the corner, his arms folded as he looked at her in disappointment. After that, she walked off.

"We apologize for that intrusion", Wonder Woman apologized to Banner, standing near him. "And for letting you sleep like this." She turned, and gestured. "Follow me. I will lead you to more comfortable quarters."

"Thanks." Banner followed her, then looked around at the cracks. "Sorry about the mess."

"We've seen worse", Rocket told him with a shrug, and Banner had to chuckle as it reminded him of a certain time.

Earth-199999

The specialized, invisible Quinjet was near the area where the Raft would be, as Wade asked. "Well, what's the plan to get it out of the water? Since I don't think any of us wanna go swimming." He looked at the hot guys and girl around him. "Well, not that I'd mind, but-"

"Hill and Klein got that covered", Fury said, piloting the Quinjet himself.

---

Maria turned to Klein. "You ready?"

"Already done." Klein smirked and pressed 'send'.

---

The Raft

The IT staffer's computer beeped, as he saw an e-mail sent to him by the prison's official cybersecurity vendor, requesting for a routine update request regarding the prison's facilities.

Unbeknownst to him, this was a phishing e-mail by a fake account, because when he clicked the link and entered his credentials, he'd just made the prison open-season.

---

"Got it", Maria smirked, Klein raising a hand. Shaking her head, Maria gave him a high-five, both of them able to access the Raft's secure intranet now. "Now, its time for Hunley to talk with them."

Using a fake e-mail created by the spoof method, Maria sent a ready-made e-mail to the prison warden, making it look like it came from the official CIA office.

"Your turn now, sir", Klein told Fury, sending something to his device.

---

Fury pressed it, seeing it was AI-generated voice mimicry, and then he made contact with the Raft's communication system.

"This is CIA Director Alan Hunley, I need immediate entrance into the Raft. The credentials should be cleared in your system. Confirm you're seeing them now."

---

Klein continued to type into the computer.

---

The warden looked at the security logs which showed Hunley was pre-approved for entry, and an access request had come too, with all the required credentials, which looked legit.

So, the warden approved it.

---

'Bring Em Out' by T.I.- 'Deadpool & Wolverine' versions starts playing

Soon enough, the water down below roared as the Raft rose up from underwater, everyone looking down at it, as Luke asked. "What now?"

---

Maria typed, and smirked.

---

The security guy saw that all cameras had been disabled, horrifying him.

---

"Their surveillance system is disabled", Maria informed Fury.

---

"Well, we can't land directly, they'd know we're not CIA", Fury pointed out, as Bucky smirked, the hatch opening up, as held out an AT4.

"Oooh, them not gonna see this coming!" Gambit said with a smirk.

Wade started. "I think what Gambit is trying to say is this is not easy….eh, I'm not even trying anymore, tilt to Bucky."

Bucky fired off a huge shot.

The sensors started beeping madly as the IT people shared looks of shock and panic.

And then, the shot hit, destroying a huge part of the prison's walls, making the rubble scatter everywhere.

---

Jessica looked around from inside her cell, having felt the prison move a few minutes ago, and the rapid beeping was irritating her ears, while everything was shaking. "The fuck is this now?"

---

However, three turrets aimed outwards, and began shooting randomly, Fury forced to swerve around to dodge.

"They can't see us, so they're firing everywhere!" Fury said with a grunt.

---

"That weapons system is on a separate network!" Klein warned in dismay.

---

"I'll draw 'em off", Logan declared as he walked up to the opening, and cracked his neck.

"Good luck", Bride said to Logan, who just nodded with a smirk, and with a roar, leapt out of the water at one turret, avoiding being hit as he unleashed his claws and swung, cutting that turret apart.

However, as he turned to face the next one, its shot struck him at full power, making him fly off and fall into the water.

---

"Ooooh!" Wade said with a groan. "That's gonna suck, the Adamantium's too fucking heavy to be underwater, though wet Hugh….."

"He has always been a tough one, he'll get through this", Bucky said before covering his mouth with a scarf, Luke doing the same thing, as Gambit aimed carefully and threw two cards, which struck true, and got the other two turrets as well.

Fury stopped the Quinjet a few feet away from the Raft, and then Wade, Gambit, Bucky, Luke and Bride leapt into the place in slow-motion, ready to take on the army of guards who were waiting for them.

Then, they did a slow-mo walk, before standing off against the guards, who all had their weapons aimed.

Hearing something, they turned to see a hand grasp the floor of the Raft, and then up climbed Logan to the "Hands in the air" part of the song, walking forth and dripping wet as they glanced at him, Bride smiling, after which Logan took his position alongside the rest of the group, ready to do what he did best, which wasn't very nice.

---

Ross was pacing around frantically, panicking at what was going on.

---

"This is gonna be good", Bride said with a smirk.

"You know how long I've been waiting for this?" Gambit asked, then declared. "Whoo! I'm about to make a name for myself here."

"We must make sure that everyone gets out of here", Logan told the rest.

"I'm gonna have a drink after this is done", Gambit said, moving forth.

"We know where the cells are", Luke added, walking forwards too. "We just need to take 'em all out, get inside, and free everyone."

"And that's that for this place", Bucky shrugged, clutching his covered metal arm. As the guards aimed at them, Wade unsheathed his swords, Bride twirling hers, Luke flexing while Gambit took out a glowing card, and Logan's claws popped out.

The six Heroes stood in position, side-by-side, and then the guards started firing as the six ran forwards, avoiding or tanking the shots.

Gambit twirled his staff, cutting apart two guns and knocking guards out as Bride sliced one down, then cut another's gun before doing the same to him, and Logan stabbed into one's shoulder before throwing him off, Wade spinning and stabbing another on his side before flipping and kicking another away, as Bucky lifted one up by the metal arm and threw him into one more, before blocking shots fired at him with said arm, and Luke just walked forwards, tanking the shots before knocking out two guards by lightly tapping their heads.

Bucky flipped and kicked another guard away into a corner, all of them rushing further in, as Luke picked another up by the throat and threw him off into two more, and one guard fired at him, but he was unaffected as he walked to him and just punched him out.

Gambit procured a deck of cards, and spinning, hurled it at one's shoulder, knocking him out, then did it to two more, before flipping in the air and sticking a card to one guard's gun, then rolling on the ground as he swiftly did it to three more guards' guns, before standing up, holding another card.

"And, boom!"

The cards exploded, making the guns explode as the impact threw the guards off.

Laughing, he walked further in and saw three more guards firing at him but hurled his card at the wall, exploding it as they were knocked out.

Bride sliced one more down, then spun to avoid a gunshot before slicing his gun and then slicing him down. After that, she spun, stabbing another through the shoulder, and pushed her foot back, kicking another off.

Wade spun and rolled on the ground, slicing three of them down, as Logan did the same to two more with his claws that he swung.

Bucky spun and kicked one guard into two more, while Luke grabbed another's gun and bent it, before using it to whack him and another one out.

"We'll handle them", Bride said as she sliced another down, and stood next to Bucky and Wade. "You all go free everyone."

"Quickly!" Bucky added, punching another out, as Logan, Gambit and Luke ran further in.

"Now why does this seem contrived?" Wade wondered, then shrugged before slicing down another guard.

---

Logan found himself in a hallway with cells on either side, and then ran with his claws on either side, running through the controls of the cells with his claws, the Adamantium cutting through the control panels and bars of the cages, nothing stopping Logan until he reached the end, and turned around, seeing many prisoners walk out, including Megan Gwynn, and they all looked at Logan in gratitude as he nodded with a smirk.

---

Gambit used his cards, destroying some controls here and there, as he saw Caliban get up in his cell. "Who are you?"

"Here to save you", Gambit shrugged, before destroying another control, and this one was for Rogue's cell, making it open and her look up at him as she stood up, Gambit catching the card on return.

"Ah!" He commented, walking up to her, as he took her hand in his own, not affected by her powers due to the collar around her neck. "Nice to meet you, Chère. The name's Gambit. Remember it." He kissed her on the hand, and in spite of herself, Rogue blushed, clearly a little charmed, smiling.

---

Luke destroyed one control, and then did the same to another, the cell opening to reveal Jessica.

'Take Me Away' by Avril Lavigne starts playing

"Who the fuck are you?" Jessica asked, and sighing, Luke slowly reached up to his scarf, and took it off, revealing his face to her.

For once, even Jessica was silent, not having a snarky word to say, as she stood up, Luke walking closer to her, and she did the same, until they were inches apart.

They'd no idea who'd moved first, but soon enough, their lips had met, both of them kissing each other passionately and lovingly, not wanting to let this moment go.

However, eventually, they opened their eyes, parting, and looking at each other.

"Jessica…."

"Luke…."

Luke put the scarf back on, and held his hand out to her. After a moment, Jessica grasped it, and they walked out together, seeing everyone else was free to, and ready to go.

"You can't go anywhere!"

They turned around, seeing Ross aiming his gun at them, but as he fired, Luke just walked towards him, unaffected by the shots.

"People like you make your own citizens afraid to go out of their homes", Luke said angrily. "And while I don't know it as well as most others, its people like you who destroy the meaning of the American Dream for people like us!" And then, snatching Ross' gun, Luke crushed it in his arm, Ross looking at him in terror.

"I…"

He didn't get a chance to say anything else, as Luke tapped him on the head, knocking him out, before turning to Jessica.

"Powerful words….I think", Jessica shrugged, as he chuckled, and they walked off together, Logan then appearing at the end of the hallway, having freed the prisoners of the other section too.

---

Rogue, who stood next to Gambit, saw him, and their eyes met, speaking a million words that didn't need to leave their lips.

And then, Rogue rushed to Logan, hugging him tightly, crying into his chest. "Logan!"

"Its all right, kid", Logan assured her, patting her hair in comfort. "Its all right, I'm here now."

"Please don't leave me again!"

"I won't", he assured her, as they parted, looking at each other with smiles, Rogue still having tears, before she looked at his suit.

"Colorful suit, didn't expect you to wear it", she said, as he chuckled, and she gave a watery chuckle too.

"Me neither, but things change", Logan replied as Caliban walked to them.

"You've a plan to get us all out?" He inquired.

Gambit tapped his earpiece. "Fury!"

---

"And here it comes", Fury said, just as loud whirring was heard, and then, a Helicarrier appeared out of nowhere. "Coulson must be laughing now."

---

Maria and Klein were inside the Helicarrier, Maria saying, driving it a little forward. "Open for landing."

---

Fury flew the Quinjet onto the Helicarrier, landing it.

Logan, Gambit, Rogue, Luke, Jessica, Caliban, Gwynn and all the prisoners reached the entrance, seeing the guards all lying on the ground, dead or unconscious, with Wade, Bucky and Bride standing above them.

Then, they saw the Helicarrier, as Logan said. "Go!" The Helicarrier hovered next to the Raft, as everyone started running and climbing on it, filling up half of it pretty soon, with the rescue team being the last to climb onto it.

"Well, what now?" Luke asked Fury as he walked up to them.

"First, we'll get those collars off of them in the safehouse", Fury said, gesturing at all the dampening collars. "Then, everyone is free to go where they want, but I'd suggest hiding out."

"Meaning no contact with Trish", Jessica muttered.

"Wanna join up with us for a bit?" Luke asked Jessica.

"And fuck this shit up?" Logan nodded at her. "Hell yeah! As payback!"

"We got Bill Foster?" Fury then asked no one in particular.

"Actually", Maria spoke up. "He seems to be missing amongst the rescued prisoners."

"Motherf-"

The Helicarrier flew off, turning invisible fully, leaving the ruined Raft behind.

Earth-92, Los Angeles

Wesley was walking out of the building from where he and his crew had dusted Vamps, when he heard screaming, and ran out, seeing that one of his crew was lying dead, with a woman standing over him.

He looked up at her, seeing she'd an "off" look in her eyes.

"Don't move!" Wesley warned, cocking his shotgun at her, as she looked at him, revealing her Vampire teeth.

"The failed Watcher", she ranted, Wesley immediately freezing on hearing that. "Failed a Slayer twice, failure to daddy too. His daddy. My daddy. Pathetic. But snack."

"Your daddy?" Wesley inquired, keeping his distance still.

"Angelus." Wesley's eyes widened as he realized who this was, while she scoffed. "He is the Angel-Beast now. I need to see grandchild. Mine."

"Connor", Wesley realized, and kept his shotgun aimed. "You will not get to him."

"Oh I will. You cannot stop it. The Apocalypse. Of Lucifer."

Hearing that, Wesley paled, his eyes widening. "The Devil?" He chuckled. "You expect me to believe that."

"Believe me. Don't believe me. He came to me himself. He will destroy all."

And with that, she took Vamp-face and charged at him, as Wesley fired, but she dodged, and then grabbed the shotgun, tilting it away, Wesley unable to snatch it.

Drusilla yanked the shotgun out of his hand, and grabbing Wesley by the throat, leaned in to bite him, only for Wesley to take out a stake, and he nearly stabbed her with it, but she grabbed his hand with hers, holding it back, and made him drop the stake.

Only, Wesley had a free left hand, and producing another stake, he stabbed her in the chest, making her gasp in pain as she staggered back. However, he'd missed her heart.

Before she could do anything else, he took out holy water and undid the stopper, ready to splash it on her face. She sneered at him, trying to throw a punch, that he barely dodged by ducking, before hurling the holy water.

Only, it splashed to the ground, and when Wesley looked up, he realized Drusilla was gone, having retreated due to being stabbed by the stake.

Closing up the bottle, Wesley put it back inside, before getting the stake he'd dropped, followed by his shotgun.

While Drusilla was clearly insane, the way she'd said everything…..she sounded like she believed it. And Wesley's gut instincts were telling him that this was something that was actually a threat.

Of course, his instincts had failed him the last time, when he'd acted like a fool regarding the Connor issue.

That did not mean he shouldn't check this out though, so with purpose in his mind, Wesley strode off.

---

Rona was walking down a street, when she stopped, because she heard a voice call out to her.

"Rona!"

Curious, Rona turned to the direction from where the voice had come, and walked closer, as she heard it again.

"Rona!"

Rona realized it was coming from the sewer of all things! Stopping, she stared at the empty sewer, as a few seconds passed.

After the fifteenth second, she decided to go, chalking it up to a hallucination.

"Hey Rona!"

She turned back around, seeing a clown of all things was now beneath the sewer, making her look at him in confusion.

"Aren't you gonna say… hello?"

Rona shook her head no.

"Ohh… come on, buck-o!" The clown said. "Don't you want a balloon?"

"I don't think I'm supposed to take stuff from strangers." Rona said, trying to sound brave, but instead sounding nervous.

"Very wise, Rona, very wise indeed." The clown muttered. "I, Rona, am Pennywise the Dancing Clown. You are Rona! So now we know each other! Correct?"

"Uh… I guess?" Rona asked, confused, and weirded out. "I gotta go!"

"Go?" Pennywise asked. "Without this?"

Pennywise pulled out a teenage magazine, which actually made Rona pause, then smile.

"Hey! I lost that last week!"

"Exactly! Go on. Take it."

Rona got a bit nervous again.

"Ahh… you want it, don't you, Rona? Oh, of course you do." Pennywise mocked. "And there's makeup products and all sorts of surprises down here. And balloons too! All colors!"

"Do they float?" Rona inquired.

"Oh yes… they float, Rona… They float..."

Rona started to slowly near her hand towards the sewer.

"And when you're down here, with me… YOU FLOAT DOWN!"

Pennywise then grabbed Rona's hand, causing her to scream, before opening up his mouth, revealing his terrifyingly sharp teeth.

A while later, Rona's blood splattered near the sewer.

Earth-199999, Krakoa

'Down With The Sickness' by Disturbed resumes playing

Ben rolled away, Juggernaut marching towards him, and getting up, he threw another punch but Juggernaut grabbed his wrist and spinning him, threw him off to the other side, crashing through many trees.

Then, Juggernaut picked up a huge boulder and charged Grimm, who staggered up, only for the boulder to be smashed on his head as he screamed and fell to his knees in pain.

"Come on, rock! I thought you were supposed to a real tough guy amongst your team!" Juggernaut taunted Ben, who staggered up once more.

He gritted his teeth. "I ain't even started yet, ya oversized wreckin' ball!"

With that, he threw a punch that staggered Juggernaut back, but as he threw the next, Juggernaut ducked, grabbed him by the waist, and charged forth, managing to lift Ben up and smashing him through many rocky structures as he ran, Ben gasping and screaming as he was struck each time.

---

Simon held out his hand, absorbing some fire spewed out by Johnny, so Johnny flew high up, and blasted the ground near Simon, sending him flying off and rolling back.

---

Avalanche threw up a rock wall, only for Mimic to smash right through it with Juggernaut's strength, forcing Avalanche to leap back to avoid him.

Then, Mimic touched the ground, slowly heating it up with his powers, before raising up his hands and slamming them down with Juggernaut's strength, causing a mini-explosion that sent Avalanche flying off before crashing onto the ground, groaning.

"Damn copycats!" Avalanche muttered in pain before picking himself back up.

---

Sharon lowered her weapon, having just captured Hisako Ichiki aka Armor with Reed's help, while Mastermind watched from hiding behind a tree, his powers having had no effect on Tony or Rhodes, probably something in their armors protecting them.

"Let's see…how about a nightmare or two?"

Sharon tensed for a second, but nothing happened, her expression remaining cold, focused.

Reed was unaffected too, tilting his head curiously, before both turned around, spotting the hidden Mastermind, who just looked at them in shock.

"Fascinating", Reed muttered, his passion for science overpowering his horror very briefly, plus the fact that now he was facing an actual criminal, and not just kids. "I assume this is the moment where we're supposed to collapse in terror."

Mastermind frowned, confused, and gritted his teeth, trying to form more hallucinations, but Sharon said. "It won't do a thing."

"No….that's not possible!" Mastermind cried out in horror.

"We came prepared for you", Reed revealed, pointing at something on the side of his head, that Sharon had too. "Neural dampeners."

Before Mastermind could react, Sharon moved quickly, closing the distance and striking him on the throat brutally, making him gasp as he held it, stumbling back.

Reed followed up immediately, his arms stretching out like whips as he wrapped them around Mastermind, lifting him off the ground.

Mastermind struggled, but Reed's grip tightened.

"You're not really much of a fighter without those illusions, are you?" Reed asked, before Sharon stepped forwards, and punched Mastermind hard, knocking him out.

Reed uncoiled his limbs, letting the unconscious Mastermind slump onto the ground, as Sharon collared him, then turned to Reed. "Good work."

"With him only", Reed scoffed before stretching and putting Mastermind inside the jet, then walking off.

---

Tony flew up into the air, dodging a blast from Wanda, before deploying micro-missiles that were sent right towards her.

Wanda flicked her fingers, sending a wave of red energy outwards that detonated the missiles in the air.

Tony fired two repulsor blasts that Wanda managed to block with her shield, and lowering it, she hurled a telekinetic blast at Tony, but his armor actually managed to take most of it, though he staggered back.

"Okay, fine. You wanna dance? Let's dance."

However, Wanda was suddenly trapped in a force-field all of a sudden, Susan turning visible right behind her.

"Thanks, Sue", Tony commented before flying right at Magneto alongside Rhodes, Magneto having taken out another Sentinel, before they blasted at him, but he used his electromagnetic field to defend himself, before making two pieces of metal crash onto them as they went down.

Only reason he wasn't using the whole building at once was because residents of Krakoa were inside it, and using all of it would hurt them too.

One Sentinel blasted the ground near Surge, sending her flying off and knocking her out, with Reed stretching and taking her, as Magneto angrily wrapped the entire train around that Sentinel, and lifting it up, hurled it to the ground, smashing it, then used the train to whack another Sentinel away, before putting it in the way of a blast by another Sentinel aimed at Glob, protecting him.

---

Wanda roared as her energy expanded outwards and shattered Susan's force-field, sending shockwaves while Susan skidded backwards, before creating an invisible platform that she climbed and used it to try and maneuver around Wanda, trying to expand another force-field to push Wanda back (she already loathed herself and wasn't gonna open one inside Wanda's head like she'd done to Ms. Frost), but Wanda leapt out of the way and hurled energy blasts at Susan, who made another force-field to block those, but the impact still staggered her back.

She retaliated by expanding the force-field near Wanda once more, pushing Wanda backwards in spite of Wanda trying to defend herself with her magical shield.

---

Magneto hurled what was left of the train at three more Sentinels, blasting it apart as the Sentinels went down, but this took all of his focus, as sonic waves were then unleashed upon him from behind, making him scream as he held his head, ringing all over in spite of the helmet, Rhodes having his sonic cannon aimed at Magneto.

"You ain't escaping this!" Rhodes snarled, before Tony blasted Magneto with his Unibeam, and went through his chest's side, making him gasp, while sending him crashing onto the ground and rolling away, bleeding badly, his helmet falling away too, as he clutched his bleeding wound on his chest's side in pain.

---

"NO!" Wanda cried out in horror as she saw the fallen Magneto, only for Susan to use the opportunity to push her off, sending Wanda rolling away too, after which Susan landed, with Johnny flying next to her, while Reed and Sharon walked to her other side, Tony and Rhodes hovering in the air, as Avalanche and Ben staggered up near them, both in pain.

"Residents of Krakoa, just give up all terrorists to us, and live your life peacefully, well, as peacefully as your freaky puberty can allow you."

---

Esme ran out, watching the entire sight in utter horror.

---

However, at that moment, a blur flew through the air.

It struck Tony and Rhodes on the heads, sending them back by a little, and ricocheted off of some trees, before flying off into a distance.

A hand caught the blur, stopping it, revealing it to be a circular shield in the colors of the US Flag!

Captain America had arrived!

"Captain….." Magneto whispered with a smile, barely lifting his head up.

"Everything's going to be alright."

"Yes…yes it is", Magneto whispered, while Steve marched forwards, glaring at Tony and his team with a gaze that was a mix of anger, horror, sadness and disappointment.

"How could you do this, Tony?" Steve asked, his voice full of pain, and barely restrained rage. "There are people here, innocent people!"

"Their ruler is a terrorist!"

"But NOT ALL OF THEM ARE!" Steve screamed loudly for everyone to hear, and the Fantastic Four actually stepped back involuntarily due to hearing the anger in his voice. "And there are CHILDREN HERE! What kind of laws do you think make it fair to take children into custody?!"

"We're sorry, Captain", Reed said in self-loathing.

"You're trying to take children!" Steve snapped back, and the Fantastic Four looked down in shame, while Steve looked at Rhodes. "How can you fall this much?" His gaze turned to Sharon.

"You too, Sharon? Why are you doing this? You know our institutions can be infiltrated and corrupted!" He gestured around the entire island. "This…this is not you! You were a good person!"

"These are terrorists and threats, Steve, try to understand!" Sharon said, but Steve shook his head.

"Even if they were, the moment you attacked them unprovoked when they just wanted to live in peace, and even took the children….you all stopped being the good guys."

"Oh really? So I guess you're the good guy, Cap? First not signing, then running away from the authorities", Tony started listing. "And now defending these people?"

"Congratulations Cap, you totally made yourself a criminal", Rhodes said with a shrug.

"If doing what is right makes me a criminal…then let me be one."

"I was trying to keep you from tearing the Avengers apart!" Tony snapped, but Steve was unmoved.

"You did that when you signed." Steve gestured around them again. "And you stopped being the good guys the moment you did this."

"We didn't want to, Cap", Ben finally said in a gruff voice. "But we'd no choice."

"You always have a choice, to do the right thing", Steve pointed out with a shake of his head.

"All right, I'm done talking", Tony said, before turning to Johnny. "Do it!"

Johnny sighed, looking conflicted, then flew up into the air, firing down a blast of fire as he formed a ring of fire, surrounding Steve.

"Captain America, you're under arrest for aiding and abetting these fugitives from law."

"Am I?" Steve asked with a smirk, confusing Team Iron Man, before a blur sped around the fire, putting it out with his speed, and it stopped to reveal Pietro.

"What? You didn't see that coming?" Pietro taunted Team Iron Man, just as an arrow struck Johnny on the shoulder, making his flames go out as he crashed to the ground, grunting.

---

From a distance, Clint lowered his bow, before he, Natasha, Scott and Sam moved forth.

---

Johnny ripped the arrow out of his shoulder, and staggered up, before flying back to the rest of his team, while Natasha, Clint, Scott and Sam flanked Steve, all holding their weapons.

Pietro sped next to Wanda, helping her up. "You okay?"

"Yes, yes", Wanda panted in between nods before she saw Team Cap facing off against Team Iron Man. "They actually came."

"Didn't even hesitate", Pietro told her, and for a tiny moment, Wanda let a slight smile cross her face.

"Let's go."

Pietro nodded, and sped them both towards Team Cap, as the Maximoff twins stood by them too.

"Thank you", Wanda said gratefully to all of them. "Thank you."

"You don't need to thank us", Clint assured her with a smile, as Juggernaut landed next to Team Cap, and Mimic walked up to them too.

"Same side this time", Juggernaut commented to Steve, Natasha, Sam and Clint, who nodded.

"Well Stark, I'd give you back your money, but I wanna put an arrow in you, so I'll leave it by your grave", Clint told Stark with a scoff.

Eight remaining Sentinels flew behind Team Iron Man, as Tony told him. "Typical Clint, thinking he is useful."

"Better than being useful to a corrupt government though."

'Liberate' by Disturbed starts playing

"What are you all gonna do?" Tony demanded Team Cap.

"We fight", Steve declared to Team Iron Man, before both sides started marching towards each other.

Then, they started rushing, with Tony, Rhodes, Johnny, Susan, Wanda and Sam taking off into the air, with Pietro speeding around as he dodged a blast by a Sentinel, as Juggernaut and Ben clashed, causing another shockwave, while Mimic blasted away a rock wall conjured by Avalanche. Clint fired arrows at Reed, who twisted here and there to avoid, as Wanda fired a powerful blast at Susan who blocked it with her force-field, while Johnny blasted at Simon who blasted back, with Sam dodging gunfire by Rhodes, and firing with his own two guns as he flew backwards, Rhodes being unaffected. Sharon threw Natasha to the ground as Scott shrunk and charged ahead. Steve hit Tony in the head with his shield, before he was hit in the Arc Reactor with an arrow which went off, throwing him back.

---

Sharon managed to throw Natasha down. "Stand down, Nat."

"Agent Carter has sold out. Your aunt was toxic with a temper, but you've become rotten", Natasha snarled in disgust, before wrapping her legs around Sharon's neck, and slamming her down.

Sharon tried to strike from the ground as Natasha blocked, then dodged a kick, but as she tried to stand up, Sharon kicked her chest, sending her rolling away.

Rolling herself, Sharon stood up, ready to fight, and Natasha did the same, both former SHIELD Agents facing each other.

The two struck with kicks, and Sharon blocked one of Natasha's, before Natasha blocked one of Sharon's, then tried to spin-kick as Sharon ducked to avoid, and as Natasha kicked again, Sharon grabbed her foot.

However, Natasha kicked with her other foot, getting Sharon's face as she staggered away, holding it in pain.

Sharon then charged with a kick that Natasha blocked, and blocked two more strikes before striking as Sharon dodged with a spin and kicked but Natasha avoided that one, before dodging and blocking some strikes until Sharon spun and kicked Natasha back.

Raising their fists, they charged each other. At the last moment, Natasha kicked Sharon's abdomen instead, making her double down, and then she kicked her face, sending her staggering back.

Sharon recovered and spin kicked Natasha's face, sending her back as well.

Natasha then charged, blocking and dodging her blows, as Sharon did the same, both of them trying to kick the other, and as Sharon charged, Natasha side-stepped and grabbing her, pushed her off, sending her down.

She marched to Sharon who rolled away and got behind Natasha, grabbing her in a chokehold, but Natasha freed herself and pushed Sharon to her front, grabbing her in a chokehold instead, and then threw her down to the ground as she groaned.

Sharon charged but Natasha dodged a punch and blocked the next before sending her back with a punch instead.

Natasha then punched her multiple times. Sharon tried to throw a punch but Natasha blocked and kicked her knee, then lifting her up by the collar, unleashed a sting of the Widow's Bite, shocking Sharon, who convulsed, then fell to the ground, seemingly knocked out.

---

"Buckled in?" Clint asked Scott, aiming into the air, Scott on his arrowhead.

"Yeah, I'm good Hawkeye. Let's go!"

Clint fired his arrow, the arrowhead exploding into fragments as Tony fired at those, destroying those, but Scott had used the opportunity to crawl inside his suit.

---

Rhodes was firing missiles at Steve, who blocked with his shield while backing off, when Rhodes was struck by a laser on the shoulder, making him gasp as he staggered up, looking up to see Redwing.

He fired at it as it flew off, before Sam flew in and kicked him back, staggering him by a bit.

"Give up, Sam!"

"You're making a mistake", Sam warned before flying up to avoid being fired at by Rhodes, who flew up after him.

---

Tony was about to fire at Steve, when his suit started malfunctioning. Taking the opportunity, Steve leapt at Tony, bashing his face with his shield, sending Tony flying back by a bit while Steve flipped and landed.

"We have some weapons systems offline."

"We what?" Tony asked in shock.

---

"Oh, you're gonna have to take this into the shop", Scott commented, disabling more of the suit from the inside.

---

"Who's speaking?" Tony asked, hearing Scott.

---

"Its your conscience, we don't talk a lot these days", Scott said from inside.

"Friday?"

"Deploying fire suppression system."

---

Scott ran as a rolling cloud of Carbon Dioxide chased him. "Uh-oh! Oh boy. Whoa!" He was ejected out of the suit and fell down, groaning.

---

Clint fired arrows at Reed, who twisted around to avoid them. "Clint, you cannot win this."

"What? Used that high IQ of yours to calculate?" Clint asked mockingly as he fired another arrow that Reed caught, but it was an explosive one. Only, before it could explode, Reed coiled around it, and his body managed to contain the explosion.

"Goddamn it!" Clint groaned.

---

Susan generated additional force behind her psionic constructs, turning this into a punch as she struck at Wanda, who used her magical shield to block, though she was sent skidding back, her teeth grit, as Susan stopped for a bit.

Unbeknownst to her, a Sentinel was about to fire at her from behind, only for Clint to fire an arrow at it, not that it did anything, but hearing the sound made her turn back. However, before the Sentinel could do a thing, it malfunctioned and fell down, completely out, and Scott popped out from inside it.

"That's one down!" Scott commented.

Using the opportunity, Reed made to wrap himself around Clint, only to be covered in red energy, which covered his entire body, and then Wanda hurled him away by many feet.

"NO!" Susan cried out as she used a massive invisible psionic battering ram, smashing it on Wanda who managed to defend herself with her magical shield, and then wrapped it around Susan's 'ram', hurling it back at her as Susan used her force-field to defend herself, though the impact sent her skidding back now.

Turning to Clint, Wanda gave him a nod of appreciation with a smile, as even if his arrow hadn't done anything, it'd warned her of the Sentinel.

Clint nodded with a smirk of his own.

---

Another Sentinel went down, Pietro speeding off of it, before a Sentinel blasted the ground near him, making him fly off and fall down with a groan.

The Sentinel made to fire at him again when Steve jumped in the way, deflecting the shot with his shield, and it was deflected at another Sentinel, which got struck and fell down, destroyed.

Looking down at Pietro, Steve gave a hand. Pietro looked at it, then grasped it, letting Steve help him up.

---

Sam fired at the first Sentinel from above to distract it, only to see Rhodes flying at him, and covered himself with his wings as Rhodes lashed out with a punch which sent him flying off and crashing into a tree.

---

Mimic was knocked off-balance by a seismic wave of Avalanche, having been unable to dodge this one properly, and he fell down, groaning.

Avalanche then moved a little closer to him, about to smash the entire ground and Mimic with it, but this was just what Mimic needed.

Getting up, Mimic suddenly lashed out, using Juggernaut's momentum, and grabbed Avalanche by the arm just before it could touch the ground.

"Wait! No-"

But his eyes widened as Mimic continued absorbing his power now, making him gasp, then letting him go, Mimic smirked, his hand flaming up as he combined Avalanche's seismic force with Juggernaut's strength, and he slammed it hard onto the ground, causing a huge tremor which made everything shake, and the area also exploded a little, Avalanche being sent flying off by many feet, before he crashed to the ground, forming a small crater where he landed, finally knocked out.

---

Ben squared up to Juggernaut again. "IT'S CLOBBERIN' TIME!"

"Yeah, me clobbering you", Juggernaut said with a smirk, before charging at Ben, who barely dodged his strike, then struck with his most powerful uppercut yet, sending Juggernaut flying up and crashing down, making everything shake.

Growling, Juggernaut picked up a huge boulder, and hurled it at Ben, who used his rocky arms to block as the boulder shattered upon them, but the strength that Juggernaut had used still made him stagger back.

Juggernaut hurled another one at him and Ben rushed forwards, leaping up over the rubble as he held out his fist, while Juggernaut ran and leapt too, the two of them managing to punch each other.

While Juggernaut landed and stumbled back, Ben was sent rolling away by a few feet, groaning.

He staggered to his feet, gritting his teeth. "Ya know what I hate about ya people? Nothin' but a buncha muscle, no real skill."

"Wanna talk about skill? How about I show you what an 'unstoppable force' really means." With that, Juggernaut picked up speed, going full force, barrelling into Ben before he could dodge, so Ben held out his hands, trying to hold Juggernaut back, but was still pushed back himself, even when he planted his feet into the ground.

And then, he was sent flying off, crashing through various cliffs, before crashing onto the ground, groaning in utter pain, barely moving.

"Told ya", Juggernaut smirked.

---

Johnny hurled out all of his flames upon Pyro, who kept trying to manipulate it, taking it away from Johhny, smirking. "You really are an idiot, aren't you?"

"Oh, am I?" Johnny asked, and increased the output, Simon suddenly gasping as he felt it getting too much, even for one like him, and then there was a small explosion, sending him flying off and falling onto the ground, knocked out.

However, Johnny was hit by Steve's shield, sending him staggering back, before Steve caught it on return and leapt, slamming it onto Johnny, sending him back again.

Rhodes then hovered nearby, and Steve threw the shield at him, staggering him back before catching it on return.

"This won't hurt you Cap." Rhodes pulled out a stun staff. "But it ain't gonna tickle either."

He flew down at Steve, trying to strike him, but Steve blocked with his shield, before Pietro sped in, punching Rhodes' suit with enough speed to send him staggering back.

"OW!" Pietro grasped his hand in pain, as Rhodes flew up and back down at Steve, trying to strike him, but Steve flipped and gave Rhodes a flying kick, sending him crashing and skidding on the ground, and when he got up, his staff was broken in half.

Sam fired down at Rhodes again, and grunting, Rhodes flew up after him.

Johnny came back in, firing at them as Steve blocked with his shield while Pietro sped around, dodging his blasts. "Missed me!"

Tony flew at Steve with a punch, striking his face as Steve was sent flying off, and fell down.

Tony then flew at full speed, blasting at Steve, who blocked with his shield, and as Tony came close, Steve spun and struck his face, turning it, before smashing it on his chest, before giving him an uppercut, Tony sent back, after which he blasted Steve's abdomen, making him stagger back, before Tony punched him twice, making him bleed.

"Stand down, Cap!" Tony warned him.

"Never!" Steve said when Tony was blasted from behind by Widow's Bite and an electric arrow, making him gasp in pain before Steve got up and uppercut Tony back with the shield, Natasha lowering her hand a few feet away behind Tony as Clint lowered his bow.

---

Sam dodged Rhodes' attacks. "We need a distraction. Something big."

---

"I got something big", Scott said, on a tree nearby. "No need to come for me if I tear myself in half."

---

"Tear yourself in half?" Natasha wondered with a tilted head.

---

"Scott, you sure about this?" Steve asked as he blocked another repulsor from Tony.

---

"Yes." Scott ran up the tree. "I did it once. In a lab. And I passed out right afterwards." Then he jumped on the passing Rhodes' armor and activated a panel on his wrist, letting Rhodes go as he grew to gigantic size, to everyone's shock, towering over even huge cliffs, and grabbed Rhodes.

---

Sam then slammed his feet into Tony before he could go help Rhodes, sharing a nod with Steve, while Scott laughed like a Demon, and threw Rhodes away.

Rhodes tried to gain control of his flight as he crashed through many trees, but Reed, who'd gotten up, stretched out after him.

Before Rhodes could crash on the ground, Reed stretched underneath him and turned into a trampoline, catching Rhodes who was sent back up, and steadied himself.

"Thanks."

---

Scott then kicked a huge rock, sending it crashing into various others, which accidentally started rolling towards Sharon, who'd just gotten up and had been unseen by Scott, but Johnny blasted them all from up above.

---

Tony was flying after Sam, firing blasts, before Scott brought another huge boulder down on him, making him dodge, the rock shattering on the ground.

"Anyone on our side have any shocking and fantastic abilities they wanna disclose, Fantastic Four included?" Tony inquired just as Sam disengaged his wings and launched Red Wing, hitting Tony's face-plate, dazing him, before Sam reactivated his wings, flying off.

---

A young boy with golden skin knelt near Magneto.

"Run…." Magneto whispered to him.

"Mr. Magneto, here." The Mutant boy touched him, and Magneto glowed, breathing in and out, as the blood flow from his body stopped, his wound closing up, and he started feeling rejuvenated.

"Thank you, Elixir", he thanked the Mutant, when he saw Sharon aiming at him.

"RUN!" He cried out, and seeing that, Elixir stopped and started running, only for Sharon to fire and collar him as he fell down too.

"Reed!" She called out, and Reed sighed, conflicted, before stretching out his hand and grabbing Elixir, taking him and placing him amongst the other Mutant kids they'd already taken.

---

Scott punched one Sentinel, sending it crashing into two others, as they were taken out, and then he slammed the remaining two into each other, taking them out too, finally destroying all the Sentinels!

---

"I've got an idea for him", Reed said before stretching out, wrapping himself around Scott's legs, making him wobble, just as Tony and Rhodes flew up and gave him an uppercut, causing him to crash to the ground as Reed unwrapped from around him.

Shrinking back to normal size, Scott took off his mask. "Does anyone have any orange slices?"

---

Steve, Natasha, Sam and Clint stood together, as Tony and Rhodes hovered in the air above them, while Sharon walked up to them too, with Reed stretching nearby, and Johnny in the air, Pietro speeding up next to Team Cap.

"Stand down."

'Liberate' by Disturbed starts playing again

"Think its you who should", Steve said with a smirk as a breach opened, and then, Earth-21 Superman flew out of it.

"What the…..?" Tony muttered, and made to fire at Clark, but Clark did a thunderclap, and it sent both Tony and Rhodes flying off and crashing to the ground many feet away.

Seeing him, many of the Mutants suddenly felt hopeful, as he smiled down at them.

"You'll be all right", he assured them, then turned to Tony. "What happened to you? You weren't like this last time." He was a bit of an immature manchild, but his heart was in the right place, and he was a hero.

Now, attacking an island full of kids, he truly had fallen.

"My eyes were opened!" Tony scoffed as he staggered up. "This isn't your fight!"

"I stand for justice, so this is", Clark said with folded arms, as Johnny flew at him at full speed, but Clark grabbed him by the throat, the flames not affecting him at all, and threw him off, Johnny crashing down, though Reed caught him as a trampoline.

Seeing Susan against Wanda, Clark fired Heat Vision at the ground near Susan as she was focused on Wanda, and it sent her flying off and crashing too, Reed again barely catching her.

"Thanks for coming, Superman", Steve said to him with a smile, as both Wanda and Pietro looked at him in awe too.

"Its not a problem", Clark assured Steve with a smile.

---

Lin Li was in the chamber beneath the island, looking at the roots and vines with the green glow, her hands on the wooden and stone sphere with the same green glow.

"Please... wake up. They're hurting your people! Please, Krakoa!" She begged, tears in her eyes.

At first, nothing happened. The Earth remained still, Lin hearing the sounds of fighting in the distance.

She clutched harder. "Please...protect the Mutants! We need you!"

That was when a deep rumbling tremor shook the entire island.

---

It was heard by all, as they looked here and there, while Clark smirked at Team Iron Man. "I think you should go now."

Massive roots burst from the ground, wrapping around the downed Sentinels and taking them inside the ground, Tony watching in horror. "What the…..?"

"Okay, that I didn't sign up for", Rhodes said next to him.

What was left of the Sentinels was ripped apart completely, as Johnny took flight, but branches lashed out at him, swiping at his trajectory, though he avoided.

"This place is turning against us!" Reed shouted as Susan threw a force-field to protect herself, Reed and the just-arrived Ben, the three backing off until they reached the Fantasticar, Johnny landing nearby, and getting inside, they took off, Johnny burning away some vines that were in the way.

Tony and Rhodes tried to blast at the attacking vines but massive roots slammed into them like tidal waves, throwing them off.

"We're out of time!" Rhodes snapped as they fired their thrusters, barely dodging an incoming tree branch that nearly swiped them out of the sky.

---

Sharon had rushed back into her jet, the awoken Avalanche jumping in after her, and she closed it up, starting it.

Avalanche looked down in horror. "We shouldn't be here! We shouldn't have done this-"

"Too late for that." Sharon glared at him, then the frightened and captured kids, then Mastermind. "Strap in."

She flew up, though some vines lashed onto the jet, but Sharon expertly flew it out of the island, just as Krakoa formed a covering of rock and greenery to block off Team Iron Man.

---

Clark made to fly after them, but stopped due to the rock and greenery, deciding he didn't want to destroy that to get to them.

---

The awoken Krakoa's tremors began to settle now, its anger leaving.

---

The exhausted Lin collapsed onto the ground. "Thank you."

---

Juggernaut, Mimic and Simon walked up to Team Cap, and Juggernaut looked up at Superman. "Ya know…..I like ya."

"High praise from him", Simon added as Clark chuckled, flying down.

"Sorry I couldn't save the kids", Clark apologized to all of them. "But didn't want to anger this island more."

"A wise choice, Superman." They turned to see Magneto back up, staggering towards them, as Elixir had healed him, but not fully. Pietro quickly sped to him, supporting Magneto, while Esme finally came to the place, supporting Magneto too from the other side, as he looked at Clark. "But we thank you for your help." He looked at Team Cap, Sam supporting Scott up. "And you all too." He shared a smile with Steve. "I knew you'd come."

Steve just nodded back, before Magneto's face turned grim. "But they took some of us. And some of us were killed."

Team Cap and Clark looked down sadly, before Clark commented. "Can't believe Tony could do all that."

"Makes two of us", Steve sighed.

"This has happened on my Earth", Clark then revealed, causing Team Cap to look at him. "The Vigilante Registration Act, required vigilantes to register with the government."

"I'm guessing it went about as well there as it did here", Clint shrugged.

"Yes, we opposed it, and they'd secret prisons too", Clark explained to them. "However, this stir in humanity was caused by a being- Darkseid."

Hearing the name, chills ran up all of their spines, even Magneto's, which said a lot.

"Guy sounds like a pain", Natasha muttered.

"Like you've no idea", Clark told her, then said. "One of the biggest supporters of the VRA was marked by Darkseid too, not that he was a good guy, but Darkseid had marked many with any darkness within them, including my friend." Clark thought of Oliver.

"Are you trying to say this Darkseid has marked Iron Man and his team?" Magneto asked with barely restrained rage. "They came to this island, and-"

"I am not saying that", Clark pointed out as he raised his hand, before turning to Team Cap. "Only giving insight into my own experience."

"To be fair, it does seem too much for Tony, Rhodes, and even Sharon", Natasha had to say, not having known any of them to do that. "But not sure I'll blame an external factor till I see it."

"Yes, you'll have to find out more", Clark agreed, before hovering up in the air. "Either way, be careful, and good luck."

"Good luck to you too", Steve said as they shared a nod, and then Clark opened a breach with his device before flying back into it, the breach closing.

Some other Mutants started gathering around them, as Steve looked at them, and declared. "We sent them back one time, but they will not stop. Now, it is up to us to fight back these people and their will that they're trying to impose on us all. And I promise you, everyone they captured, including those kids, we'll save them!"

In spite of what had just happened, the Mutants felt hopeful on hearing his words, and some even clapped and cheered for him, Steve and Magneto sharing a smile.

"You're still hurt", Wanda said to Magneto, looking into his eyes, an understanding passing between them. "You need to rest."

"Unfortunately, you speak true", Magneto sighed, as Pietro and Esme helped him sit down on a rock. "However, our people need saving." He looked between Wanda and Pietro. "My children….please….."

Wanda and Pietro exchanged a look, hesitant, but realizing this was needed, especially considering what had just happened.

"We will", Pietro assured him, before both he and Wanda turned to Team Cap, as Pietro said. "We didn't trust you, but he did", Pietro gestured to Magneto, "and you rewarded his trust."

"We cannot thank you enough for coming", Wanda said herself. "Which is why….we shall join with you, to save everyone who was taken from this island…..and beyond."

"Well", Clint shrugged. "Can't say no to more members." He and Wanda exchanged a smile.

"Yeah, especially since we can use help too", Natasha added from her own end.

Wanda and Pietro looked at Magneto again, who nodded in encouragement, and then, they turned to Steve, who held out his hand.

"Wanda, Pietro. Welcome to the Avengers."

The Maximoff twins both shook his hand one by one, as the island finally opened up, letting the sun shine down upon the inhabitants once more.

This day may have been devastating, but a new alliance of hope had just been formed.

Middle-earth, Rohan, Westfold

LOTR The Two Towers Soundtrack - Warg Attack (Orginal Movie Version) plays

Smoke curled into the pale morning sky, thick and acrid, rising from the valley below. The scent of burning wood and iron filled the air, carried by the wind over the grassy plains of Rohan. From their vantage point on a small hill, Sora, Donald, Goofy, and Geralt surveyed the carnage below.

The village was under siege.

---

Black-armored Uruk-hai rampaged through the streets, cutting down those who resisted. Among them, shadows twisted unnaturally—Heartless. Their yellow eyes flickered with malice as they prowled between buildings, attacking with clawed hands and tendrils of darkness. Some took the form of hounds, snapping at fleeing villagers. Others were larger, towering over the Uruk-hai, resembling armored wraiths.

---

Sora's hands curled into fists, his Keyblade flashing into existence in a burst of light. "We've gotta help them!"

"Aye," Geralt grunted, already unsheathing his silver sword. His golden eyes locked onto the battlefield below. "Let's move."

No more words were needed. They charged down the hill, the wind whipping past them as they sprinted toward the embattled village.

---

As they neared, Erkenbrand and his Rohirrim rode in from the opposite side, swords raised, shouting war cries as they cut into the enemy lines.

Sora leaped into the fray, swinging his Fellowship Keyblade in wide arcs, light trailing from the blade as he carved through Heartless and Uruk-hai alike, striking down at least three with each strike. Donald launched a blast of Fira, engulfing a group of shadows, while Goofy bashed aside an armored Uruk with his shield, sending it sprawling.

Geralt moved with practiced precision, his silver sword flashing. He sidestepped an Uruk's heavy cleaver, retaliating with a quick slash across its throat. Spinning, he raised his hand and cast Aard, sending a blast of telekinetic force that knocked Heartless and Uruk-hai alike off their feet.

Then, he turned to three cowering villagers. "Come on, let's go!" They quickly got up and ran off, Geralt holding up his sword while scanning the area for any threats to them.

---

Near the center of the village, Erkenbrand fought atop his horse, cleaving through three Uruk-hai in quick succession with his sword. But he didn't see the shadow lurking behind him—a massive, four-legged Heartless with jagged horns, crouching, ready to pounce.

Sora arrived, and saw it.

With a burst of speed, he launched forward, light trailing behind him. His Keyblade struck the Heartless mid-air, knocking it away just before it reached Erkenbrand.

The Lord of the Westfold turned sharply, eyes widening.

Sora gave him a quick grin. "You're welcome!"

Erkenbrand's moment of shock passed, and he nodded in thanks before spurring his horse forward, cutting down an Uruk-hai as he went, saving a villager who started escaping.

The battle was far from over. But Sora, Geralt, Donald, Goofy and the rest weren't backing down.

At that moment, the ground trembled beneath their feet.

A deep, guttural growl rolled across the village, vibrating through the ruined houses and the very bones of those who heard it. The battle had been turning in their favor—Sora, Donald, Goofy, Geralt, and Erkenbrand's men had been cutting through the Heartless and Uruk-hai, pushing them back. The Rohirrim fought fiercely, hacking down foes from horseback, their swords gleaming in the firelight.

Then the air grew cold.

A low, unnatural hum filled the space between heartbeats, and suddenly, the shadows twisted, stretching toward the village square like writhing tendrils of ink. The remaining Heartless and Uruk-hai recoiled, some even backing away as if sensing something far greater was coming.

Then the air itself boiled.

And then, a giant shadow appeared overhead.

Smaug- the Unversed Dragon.

A massive, malformed beast, black as night and pulsing with eerie blue veins. Its body, though draconic in shape, looked unfinished—an amalgamation of twisted darkness and unnatural energy. Its jagged, armor-like scales glowed with eerie red markings, and its wings—tattered yet still powerful—unfurled wide, blotting out the sky. Its head bore a vague resemblance to Smaug's, but warped, its features contorted with malice. And emblazoned upon its chest was the unmistakable emblem of the Unversed, pulsing with malevolent life.

It shrieked, an ear-splitting, mind-numbing wail, sending a shockwave outward.

The villagers screamed. Erkenbrand's men, hardened warriors of Rohan, stared up in mute horror. Their horses reared and bucked, sensing the unnatural monstrosity before them.

Geralt narrowed his eyes. His heart clenched at the sight of a Dragon—a true Dragon, or at least something that looked like one. Dragons were rare, nearly extinct in his world, intelligent and powerful creatures not to be slain without cause. For a fleeting moment, he hesitated.

Then he saw the emptiness in its eyes. No soul. No reason. No true life.

This was not a Dragon.

It was something else, something worse.

His grip tightened on his sword. It needed to die.

The Unversed Dragon roared again, its massive claws carving through the burning village, splintering homes like twigs. A panicked horse broke free from its pen, galloping wildly through the chaos as terrified villagers scrambled for shelter. The night sky glowed with an eerie, flickering orange from the fires, the heat clashing with the dragon's unnatural, freezing breath.

Sora, Donald, and Goofy barely dodged the debris crashing down around them. A massive wooden beam crashed to the ground just inches from Sora's feet, sparks flying as the fire ate through the timber.

Sora gritted his teeth. "This thing's gonna level the whole place if we don't stop it!"

---

A villager screamed. The Dragon's glowing eyes turned toward a mother and her child, frozen in place near the wreckage of their home. The beast lunged, jagged claws raised—

Geralt moved first. He sprinted into the fray, his silver sword gleaming in the firelight, and slashed downward. His blade collided with the Dragon's claw, just barely diverting its attack as he shoved the mother and child out of the way. He pivoted, hurling a length of chain with all his strength. The metal links wrapped tightly around the beast's hind leg.

The Dragon shrieked, its massive wings buffeting the battlefield. But the momentary distraction was all Sora needed.

A powerful light enveloped him—

His Keyblade pulsed, his form shifting.

His clothes shimmered, turning silvery-green, an Elven cloak billowing behind him. His hair grew slightly longer, the golden glow of Lothlórien wrapping around him. The Fellowship Keyblade extended, transforming into a double-edged blade, its glowing Elvish runes pulsing with power.

Elven Grace Form.

Sora blurred forward, his speed now beyond human comprehension. Each step left golden afterimages, his strikes carving radiant trails into the Dragon's corrupted scales.

The Dragon reared up, shrieking, its wings sending a shockwave that flattened nearby trees. Then—

It unleashed a stream of black fire.

Donald raised his staff just in time, launching a Firaga blast, the two flames colliding midair. The detonation rocked the battlefield, sending a shockwave that knocked Donald off his feet, his loud "WAAAH!" echoing over the chaos.

Goofy hurled his shield, the impact slamming into the Dragon's jaw, sending it reeling for a brief moment. "Gawrsh, we've fought big things before, but this might take the cake!"

The Dragon roared and flapped its wings violently, sending embers and burning debris flying everywhere. The flames spread—villagers screamed, the fire rapidly surrounding them.

---

"Get back!" Erkenbrand roared, pulling a wounded soldier away just as a chunk of burning wood collapsed from a roof above. His horse reared up, spooked by the unnatural heat and darkness clashing together.

---

Above them, the Dragon rose higher into the sky—

But Geralt held firm on the chain wrapped around its leg. With a powerful yank, he used its momentum against it—swinging himself upward. He landed on the beast's back, his silver sword flashing as he drove it deep into the Dragon's corrupted spine.

The beast shrieked in agony, twisting wildly in the air.

But then—

It whipped its entire body violently—

And sent Geralt flying.

He spun through the air, the ground rushing toward him.

"Sora!"

Sora saw it happen in an instant. His form blurred as he teleported midair, appearing just below Geralt's falling form. With a burst of energy, he caught the Witcher, using his magic-enhanced agility to slow their descent.

They landed on solid ground, Geralt barely winded, though his breath hitched for a second. He gave Sora a firm nod. "Not bad, kid."

Sora grinned, despite the battlefield raging around them. "Anytime!"

But there was no time to celebrate.

The Dragon twisted midair, its wounds already regenerating, the dark essence pulsing through its form.

It unleashed a shockwave, its body pulsing with raw dark energy—

And sent out an even more devastating blast of flames.

Sora and Geralt barely dodged, but the fire that washed over them burned and froze at the same time. Both of them cried out in pain as they rolled away, ice and flame clinging to their sides.

Donald, struggling to his feet, raised his staff. "HEAL!"

The green glow of Curaga bathed them both, the pain fading as their injuries mended.

But the Unversed Dragon wasn't done.

It dived down, claws outstretched—

Goofy barely had time to raise his shield before it slammed into him. The force sent him rolling across the battlefield, a startled "Gawrsh!" leaving his lips.

Then—

The Dragon flapped its wings violently—

The gusts spread the fire further, the flames racing toward the terrified villagers. They screamed, unable to escape the encroaching destruction.

Erkenbrand shielded a child behind him, his soldiers trying to regroup. "This is madness!" he growled. "What kind of devilry is this creature?!"

Sora and Geralt braced themselves. Sora summoned Barrier, guarding against the force of the wind, but—

The Dragon fired another black flame blast.

The impact burned through the shield—

Then froze it solid.

And then—

The Dragon slammed into it with its claws, shattering the shield into thousands of ice-like shards. The impact sent all four of them flying.

They staggered to their feet, bodies aching, barely in time to see the Dragon charging a devastating dark energy blast in its maw.

Sora and Geralt exchanged a look.

It was time to end this.

Their hands moved at the same time—

Geralt summoned Igni, but this time, enhanced by Sora's magic. A roaring pillar of fire erupted from his palm, the flames hotter than any normal spell.

At the same time, Sora raised his Keyblade—channeling the Blessing of Lórien.

Light and fire merged—

And they unleashed a combined Limit Break.

"Burning Light!"

A massive wave of golden fire engulfed the Dragon, washing over it like a cleansing inferno. The beast let out one final, agonized roar, its wings beating weakly before it exploded into darkness—shattering into countless pieces of mist.

The Unversed Dragon was no more.

The battle was finally over.

The lingering dark mist swirled and coalesced, before forming a Keychain—its end shaped like a circular shield, glimmering in the moonlight.

Sora caught it, sensing its power, and then, replaced the Keychain on his Keyblade.

Instantly, his Keyblade had a new form, the blade looking like a mix between a staff and sword, tapering from the ornate hilt.

The guard was highly stylized, featuring a horse motif, the design showing elegance and strength. The grip extended seamlessly from the hilt, maintaining a sturdy yet regal appearance.

This was the Riddermark Keyblade!

The village fell silent, save for the crackling of dying embers.

The villagers slowly emerged from hiding, eyes wide with disbelief. Erkenbrand and his men looked upon the strange warriors who had fought by their side, their expressions a mix of awe and wariness.

Erkenbrand dismounted, approaching Sora. "You have my thanks... strange one. You and your comrades fought bravely this day."

Sora smiled, brushing off the compliment. "All in a day's work!"

Donald and Goofy exchanged relieved grins, while Geralt merely exhaled, rolling his shoulders. The fight had been brutal, but they'd won.

---

But as the dust settled, unseen by all, a lone figure watched from the shadows.

Vanitas.

Perched atop the ruins of a collapsed house, his arms crossed, he regarded the fallen Unversed Dragon with mild interest. Then, with a simple shrug, he turned away.

A dark portal swirled into existence behind him. Without a word, he stepped inside, vanishing into the Corridor of Darkness.

The battle was over.

But the war would still continue.

Earth-38

Danvers and Barry stood out in a field as the sun shone brightly above them, the two fully healed now.

"You really think this is gonna work?" Danvers asked.

"Well, watching Livewire and Banshee work together reminded me of something that we tried on my Earth once", Barry said before telling her. "The two of us join forces. Literally."

She listened with interest as Barry said. "We combine your speed with my speed."

He then said to Danvers. "If you throw me forward at our fastest, then I might just break the dimensional barrier and get back home."

"What?" Danvers asked. "What do you mean? Like a race?"

"Yeah, I guess", Barry said.

"Think you can keep up, Girl of Steel?" Barry chuckled.

"Just you watch, Scarlet Speedster", Kara laughed.

The two then hugged as Danvers said. "I'm gonna miss you, Barry Allen."

"I'm really gonna miss you too, Kara Danvers", Barry said as they parted. "Or Kara Zor-El. Which is your alien name. Because you're an alien which I think is very cool. And your cousin too."

They laughed before Barry and Danvers took positions. Barry put the Tachyon device on his chest and put on his cowl.

"On your marks", he said.

"Get set", Kara added.

"Go!" Both said and ran.

Barry ran faster and exchanged a look with Danvers just as a breach opened in front of them. Danvers grabbed Barry and threw him into it just as it closed while she stopped.

"Goodbye, Barry", she said, and flew off.

Earth-1, Central City

Barry ran back through the portal and rushed into STAR Labs, the others turning to him as he said. "I'm back." They just looked at him. "What…how long was I gone?"

"Let's put it this way, you just annihilated your old record", Cisco told him.

"Yeah, you went four times faster than you have ever been", Caitlin added.

"Four times?"

She nodded.

"That's as..."

"Fast as Zoom", Harry said, walking in. "Well, faster actually."

Barry took the Tachyon device off. "Hey, uh, do we think that, um, we can get this thing smaller? It kind of sucks."

Harry took it. "If it sucks, then, yeah."

"What's the matter though?" Patty asked, making Barry look at her. "What happened?"

"Well….I went to another world while running", Barry confessed.

"Holy frak! How'd that go?" Cisco asked excitedly as all sat down to listen.

"Well, I met aliens."

"Come on! Tell us more!"

Thor groaned, his eyes opening, as he found himself face-first in snow-covered ground, and slowly, he picked himself up, looking around to see he was in a forest, covered entirely in snow.

Feeling his hammer to a distance, Thor held out his hand, summoning it to him, lightning briefly cracking in the sky, before he sensed something.

Turning around, he saw a tall, pale and muscular man with a beard, a scar on his eye, with a red mark running all over his body.

Thor inquired cautiously. "Be you friend or foe?"

"Not a friend." The man said lowly. Movement behind the man made Thor look to see a young boy clad in leather and fur, a bow in hand, with arrow notched.

"Father." The boy said to the pale, marked man, Thor feeling Mjolnir humming as it came closer, and he mentally urged the hammer to hurry.

At that moment, it burst through the trees, returning to Thor's hand, thunder booming above, with winds blowing strongly all around them.

Kratos looked Thor up and down, and knew this could only be one person. The hammer, the lightning, the changing weather, and the blonde hair like Magni.

This was Thor!

Thor's own eyes widened as he realized he'd heard about a man with Kratos' description not too long ago from a certain King of the Gods.

"I have more things to worry about- such as the visions I had of a bald man with pale skin, a red tattoo and two chain blades killing the Zeus of another Universe."

This man matched the description, other than the chain blades, but unlike him, most people did change their weapons.

The body and scars made it clear to Thor that Kratos was a warrior, but he also felt the power of Kratos.

The power of a God!

Kratos, however, could not sense mystical power the same way that Thor did, and just kept his hand on the Leviathan's handle, gripping it tightly, staring at the stranger, who stared back, clenching Mjolnir, lightning crackling off the hammer and Thor.

"What business do you have with the Olympians?" Thor asked Kratos, who now raised an eyebrow, rage coming across his face.

"What did you say?" Kratos asked in a growl.

"I merely seek to know what you have-"

But hearing of the Olympians had set something off in Kratos, as he charged at Thor, who twirled Mjolnir and charged back, striking at Kratos with Mjolnir, only for Kratos to defend with his shield, the impact causing a shockwave that uprooted various trees near them and made the ground shake.

Then, Kratos bashed Thor's face with the shield, making him skid back by a few feet, after which Thor spun and threw Mjolnir, Kratos barely avoiding it, and straightening himself, he began walking towards Thor.

Thor smirked as Kratos heard a humming, and just before he could turn around, Mjolnir slammed onto his back, making him stagger forwards as Thor caught it on return.

And then, he gave Kratos a lightning-infused punch to the chin, Kratos slightly staggering back, but then, he swung Leviathan, slicing across Thor's chest as he staggered back, and then Kratos sliced him twice again, before giving him an uppercut with the ax, Thor staggering back in pain, bleeding.

Before he could recover, Kratos punched his face, sending him rolling away on the ground, grunting in pain, and then marched towards him once more.

Thor stood back up, and twirling Mjolnir, flew forth, grabbing Kratos by the throat before flying him up into the sky, and then, Thor called down lightning upon Kratos, shocking him brutally as Kratos roared, and then the lightning stopped, smoke emanating from Kratos, who grabbed Thor by the throat too, making him gasp, after which Kratos gave him a powerful headbutt, dazing him, Thor getting a nosebleed.

But he didn't let go, and slammed Mjolnir on Kratos' head, making him grunt, and then they swung together, Mjolnir and Leviathan clashing, causing sparks of lightning and ice to fly out.

The clash happened a few more times, sparks of lightning and ice flying again, before Kratos headbutted Thor hard, dazing him more as Thor let go and crashed to the ground, rolling away, losing grip of Mjolnir, while Kratos landed on the ground, cracking it.

With a roar, he charged at Thor, and leapt up, raising Leviathan. Thor held out his hand and called Mjolnir back to him at the last moment, using it to block as the shockwave again shook everything and uprooted trees.

Thor punched Kratos, slightly staggering him, while he stood up, only for Kratos to bash him with the shield, sending Thor stumbling back again, after which he struck Thor's shoulder with Leviathan, making him gasp in pain.

With that, Thor flew up into the sky and brought lightning down upon Kratos once more, who was struck and sent flying back, before Thor flew at him.

---

Atreus watched the fight, though now it was too fast for even him to keep up, his face having a conflicted look. He just had this…..feeling, one could say, that this man that his father fought was not Thor.

Or, at least not the Thor whom they'd been told about here.

This was the Thor of a different Universe. Spider-Man had even said that the Thor in his world was a protector of the innocent.

There was one way to find out. He quickly got onto the sled, with Speki and Svanna running on his command.

---

Kratos hurled Leviathan at Thor, who held out Mjolnir to block, but the impact still sent him flying off and falling, while Kratos recalled Leviathan and marched towards him.

Thor got up and with a roar, gave Kratos another lightning infused punch, which staggered him back but did nothing else. Dropping his shield, Kratos punched Thor hard, making him spit out blood, after which Kratos sliced at him with Leviathan, sending him flying off and crashing to the ground again.

Then, Kratos started walking towards Thor, who slowly staggered up, glaring at him, noting that Kratos was the most dangerous enemy that he'd fought since awakening his true power against the Demons.

'The Animal' by Disturbed starts playing

Thor breathed hard, then started growling in anger, before his pupils, followed by his irises, just began to disappear completely.

That caused Kratos to stop, as he just looked at Thor, and then, the entire ground began to shake, before stormy clouds loomed up in the sky above, covering it all.

After that, lightning illuminated everything around them, cracking loudly and brightly.

Kratos then threw Leviathan at Thor, only for Mjolnir to intercept it.

Only, this Mjolnir did not belong to Thor.

'The Animal' by Disturbed stops playing

Thor suddenly calmed down, his irises and pupils returning, as he and Kratos looked up to see Odinson hovering in the air, catching his own Mjolnir upon return, while Kratos called Leviathan to himself.

Odinson landed in front of Thor, shielding his Variant from Kratos.

"Can you feel it?"

Odinson nodded to his Variant's question. "I do." The aura of a God in the man who stood before them.

Kratos reared his ax back, but Odinson held up his hand.

"Hold, warrior, I do not-"

However, Kratos threw the ax, causing Odinson to throw the hammer, as both weapons clashed, causing another shower of lightning and ice as everything shook, and the shockwave uprooted even more trees, Thor being sent flying off and crashing to the ground, as he recovered.

The weapons returned to their owners, as Kratos spun and swung Leviathan, Odinson blocking with Mjolnir, before they clashed weapons thrice, and then Odinson spun Mjolnir and gave Kratos an uppercut to the chin, sending him flying up, spitting out blood, after which he crashed to the ground, breaking it.

He stood back up, picking up his shield too, just as Odinson threw Mjolnir, that Kratos deflected with his shield, and Odinson caught it on return, deflecting a blow from Leviathan, before Kratos sliced him across the chest, staggering him back, but before he could do it again, Odinson slammed Mjolnir on the ground, the lightning and shockwave sending Kratos flying up and crashing down again.

Odinson leapt with Mjolnir, crackling with lightning, but Kratos rolled away at the last moment as the ground was destroyed, after which he kicked Odinson, sending him staggering back, while Kratos got up, and swung Leviathan, Odinson leaning back to avoid before striking at Kratos' wrist, making him grunt as the blow made him stagger away, though he didn't let his ax go.

But before he could recover, Odinson threw Mjolnir directly at his face, sending him flying off and crashing to the ground, rolling away, spitting out more blood, as Odinson caught the hammer on return.

Kratos staggered up, as Odinson lifted up his hammer, calling lightning down into it, while Kratos growled, the flaming Spartan Rage coming through.

However, that was when Atreus burst back into the area on the sled, and leapt down, holding out the head of Mimir.

"He's not THE Thor!" Mimir cried out, causing Kratos to look at the head in surprise, then back at Odinson, as he took a deep breath, and calmed down, the Spartan's Rage dying down for now, while Odinson lowered Mjolnir too.

However, Kratos still held his ax, just as Thor, now a bit healed, landed next to Odinson.

"When I called Thor a fat dobber, I meant it literally!"

"Fat?!" Thor said indignantly, despite the seriousness of the situation.

"Not to mention, these lads are tiny."

"Tiny?!" Odinson was irked at that comment.

"And of course, Thor's got a mane of red hair as fierce as your temper, brother."

"That was only one time." Thor grumbled. Damn Loki and his tricks.

"How did you know about the Olympians?" Kratos finally asked Thor.

"The Zeus I know spoke of a man looking like you killing a different Zeus", Thor explained to Kratos. "He said the man had pale skin and was adorned in red markings. Which is you."

Kratos was silent for a minute, as he lowered Leviathan.

"The monster he fears is gone."

Atreus looked between the two Thors, and inquired. "Which one of you knows a person who calls himself Spider-Man?"

Odinson cupped his chin, then hummed. "I remember the Man of Spiders, a warrior for good, however young he is."

"Spider-Man would not lie, father", Atreus said to Kratos, before he pointed at Odinson. "This Thor is not the one we were warned about. He protects mortals."

"Now I'd find that hard to believe but….." Mimir would have shrugged if he could.

"And I believe you protect mortals too", Atreus noted to Thor, who simply nodded at that.

Finally, Kratos put his ax away, and said to the Thors. "Come with me, I believe there is much we need to discuss." With that, he turned around and got on his sled, Atreus doing the same as he held Mimir's head.

The Thors exchanged a look, then walked after them.

Middle-earth, Westfold

The village was quiet now, save for the crackling of burning wreckage and the occasional cry of a wounded man or horse. The villagers of Westfold, shaken but alive, were staring at the strange warriors who had just saved them.

Erkenbrand, still gripping his sword tightly, surveyed the devastation. His Men moved through the wreckage, checking for survivors, extinguishing small fires, and tending to the wounded. The fight had cost them dearly, but it could have been far worse.

And they had these warriors to thank.

His gaze fell on Sora, standing beside his companions, idly twirling his Keyblade before dismissing it in a flash of light. Donald adjusted his hat, still grumbling about fighting a Dragon made of darkness. Goofy stood tall, watching the villagers with quiet concern. And then there was Geralt—calm, collected, wiping his silver sword clean before sheathing it.

The Men of Rohan muttered among themselves, casting glances at the trio and their Witcher ally. The battle had made it clear enough that they were formidable warriors, but still—what were they?

Erkenbrand, pragmatic as ever, chose to focus on what mattered. He dismounted and strode toward Sora.

"You have my thanks, stranger," he said, voice steady. "You and your companions fought with courage and skill."

Sora grinned, rubbing the back of his head. "Heh, thanks! Glad we could help!"

Goofy nodded. "Gawrsh, those were some tough fellers."

Donald scoffed. "Yeah, tough, but not tougher than us!"

The soldiers of Rohan eyed the odd-looking duck and dog warily. Some exchanged confused looks, others murmured in disbelief. Erkenbrand himself hesitated a moment before shaking his head. Whatever strangeness they carried, it was secondary to their deeds.

Then his eyes fell on Geralt.

"You fight well," he observed.

Geralt gave a small nod. "I do what I have to."

There was something in his tone—pragmatic, weary. A man who had seen too many battles. Erkenbrand understood that well.

Sora stepped forward, suddenly serious. "You're Erkenbrand, right?"

He nodded.

"We're looking for you, actually. Gandalf sent us."

That got Erkenbrand's attention. He turned fully to face the boy. "Gandalf? The Wizard?"

Sora nodded. "He told us to find you and your Men and get to Helm's Deep. He said you were out here somewhere, so we came looking."

Erkenbrand considered this, his brow furrowing. "If Gandalf is considering this, then there must be a reason." He turned to his Men. "We ride for Helm's Deep!"

A ragged cheer went up from the warriors of Rohan. Though exhausted, they wasted no time. Those with horses mounted up, while those who had lost their steeds prepared to ride double. The villagers, now reassured of their safety, hurried to gather what supplies they could before setting out to follow the Riders.

Sora turned to Erkenbrand, a hopeful glint in his eyes. "Mind if we come with you?"

Erkenbrand let out a short chuckle. "After what I've seen today? I would not turn down warriors of your skill. If you can keep up, you are welcome to ride with us."

Donald and Goofy exchanged glances, then beamed. Sora pumped a fist in excitement.

Geralt merely sighed. Another long ride. At least this time, he wouldn't be alone.

The horses were brought forth. Erkenbrand's men had spare mounts, and soon, Sora found himself climbing onto a sturdy bay stallion. Goofy, lacking any riding experience, was paired with him, gripping Sora's waist tightly. Donald, grumbling all the while, was set behind another Rohirrim rider.

Geralt, meanwhile, selected a mare, a strong chestnut with intelligent eyes. He ran a hand along her neck before swinging into the saddle with ease. Sora, riding alongside him, noticed the small smile that briefly crossed the Witcher's face.

"You like horses, huh?"

Geralt gave a small nod. "Prefer mares. Calmer. More reliable."

Sora chuckled. "Guess that means you really miss your own mare, huh?"

Geralt exhaled. "Yeah. I do."

With that, Erkenbrand raised his sword high, signaling the march.

The riders of Rohan set off, galloping across the fields of Westfold, heading for Helm's Deep, with the villagers behind them. Sora, Donald, Goofy, and Geralt rode among them, their journey far from over.

Universe-8096, Moon

The rocket touched down at the base of the moon finally, as the Avengers, X-Men and Fantastic Four all walked out together in special suits, Captain America saying. "Keep your eyes open, and be alert."

"I can't", Wolverine said, the rest looking at him in confusion.

"Logan-"

"I can't move at all." Wolverine revealed, and the rest immediately knew what that meant, turning to see Magneto, Bishop, Quicksilver, Juggernaut, Mesmero, Harpoon, Arclight, Vertigo, Blockbuster and Riptide on the opposite side, Magneto holding out his hand, smirking.

"I see most of you managed to remove any metal from around you", Magneto noted. "But your Captain's shield, the King of Wakanda's suit, Vision, Colossus, and of course, Wolverine here, you still carry it."

"They also have me!" Invisible Woman said before raising up a force-field that covered the superheroes from all sides, cutting Magneto off from Wolverine, who gasped, sighing in relief.

"Thanks."

"You are not gonna get to it!" Bishop told the superheroes while pointing at them, and glared at the X-Men. "You are gonna regret this."

"Look, you need to calm down", Beast told Bishop, but he scoffed.

"Not until my time is saved."

"You will fail", Magneto told the superheroes, who were prepared to fight, Invisible Woman still keeping the barrier up.

"I can break this barrier", Juggernaut boasted, preparing to charge.

"I'll hold him off", Colossus said, his skin turning metal.

"We will fight you all", Captain America declared, only for Iron Man, Vision and War Machine to detect something, with Ms. Marvel sensing it too.

"Everyone, look out!" Iron Man cried out.

"What is it?" Mr. Fantastic inquired.

"Something is headed our way", Vision warned.

"Fast, its crashing", War Machine, Quicksilver getting his allies out of the way just as Quasar crashed on the ground near them, breaking it as she groaned in pain, bleeding.

"Oh boy!" Hawkeye muttered, as Ms. Marvel gave Invisible Woman a look, who nodded, undoing the force-field briefly as Ms. Marvel flew to Quasar, with Invisible Woman raising the shield once more.

Turning Quasar over, Ms. Marvel inquired. "You okay?"

Quasar just gasped in pain, before Jean looked up with wide eyes. "Its here."

They all felt the fire, and looking up, saw the Phoenix Force screeching as it glared down at all of them.

It had begun!

Earth-92, Sunnydale

'Animal I Have Become' by Three Days Grace starts playing

A man was having dinner at a small restaurant, when suddenly, a female Vampire burst through the glass, wounding him, as others screamed in terror, while she grabbed the man, and bit off his nose, making him scream in agony, after which she bit his neck, drinking his blood, then started ripping him apart, limb by limb.

---

In a gym, a woman was exercising, doing a handstand, when she suddenly heard the sound of a door slamming, then screaming, causing her to turn her head to see a male Vampire ripping apart the instructor.

Before she could even scream, her own legs got bitten, and that finally made her scream in pain and terror, as another Vampire started ripping apart her legs, followed by her other limbs.

---

The Bronze

People were dancing or chatting happily, everyone having a good time, as it was the birthday of one Kirstie.

"Hey, wanna dance?" A boy with curly hair asked her.

"Seriously? You don't even have a chance with a chair!" Kirstie told him, making his face drop as he walked off, Kirstie and her clique laughing.

"Where do these losers come from?" One of them wondered.

"No idea, its like they're growing on trees nowadays", Kirstie scoffed.

Unbeknownst to them, two Vampires had bitten the doormen, and were already draining them, as a few more burst in, one of them grabbing a guy and throwing him off into the pool table, shattering it, which got everyone's attention, making them all scream in terror.

The Vampires all revealed their sharp fangs, and then charged at the partying people, as soon, the entire place was the location of the worst Vampire massacre in Sunnydale's history!

---

Robin Wood walked through a higher floor in an abandoned building, holding up a stake, having heard rumors of Vampires killing people in this area.

Knowing Vampires, this was most likely not a rumor at all, he knew they were ravaging people, just like how one had ravaged his mother all those years ago.

He'd still not forgotten the brutal fate his mother had received at that Vampire's hands, and for that, all the Vampires would pay!

Suddenly…..

Robin was about to spin around, but his head was grabbed by someone.

Wood tried to free himself, but the grip was too strong, as fangs bit into his arm, making him gasp, before it was literally ripped apart, Wood screaming in pain now, as his other arm met the same fate, and soon, his legs too, and even part of his head, as the attacker fed on the dying man.

After a few minutes, what was left of Wood's body was tossed to the ground, lying in a pool of blood.

And over him stood Spike, his face and hands smeared with Wood's blood, while he was in Vamp face.

He looked at Wood's body once more, then at his bloodied hands, his face suddenly turning normal, while his eyebrow twitched, shock coming upon him.

Followed by guilt. And remorse.

"No… this can't be…"

Spike fell to his knees in disbelief and sadness, tears forming in his eyes all of a sudden, as if he'd just come back to his senses.

He screamed in despair, not seeing that in a corner, there was a man sitting in a wheelchair, watching all the carnage unfold.

There was a smirk on his face, due to how satisfied he was with his work, since it truly pleased his hunger.

The hunger of Famine!

---

Universe-447, Asgard

Odin of this world was in his study, when he sensed something next to him, and turned to see a green glow of magic, and when it faded, Amora stood there alongside Executioner.

"Who are you?" Hoárr inquired very casually, clearly not afraid of either one of them.

"I am Amora the Enchantress, and this is my Executioner", Amora said, gesturing first to herself, then to Executioner. "And I am here with an offer."

"Offer? Oh! What is this offer? Tell me!" Hoárr asked while he began to stroke his chin.

"I know that you are looking into the Rift, and I can offer you my aid", Amora finally offered to Hoárr, who just smirked, then chuckled.

"Do you take me for a fool? Why would you want to help me?" Hoárr wondered as he looked at her, Amora smirking.

"You are right to believe that my help is not for free", Amora admitted, then added. "However, my price will come in due time."

"How dare you enter this Realm?!"

Amora and Executioner turned around to see the Thor of this world, large with a huge belly, marching towards them, anger in his eyes.

And with the Thunderer was Heimdall of this world. "You two made a huge mistake by coming here."

"Oh, did we?" Amora asked mockingly, as Executioner stepped protectively in front of her, facing off against both Thunderer and Heimdall, who were ready to fight.

However, just before a clash could occur, Hoárr raised his hand, making Thunderer and Heimdall freeze, as Amora put a hand to Executioner's chest, and he stopped too.

Amora then turned back to Hoárr, who stared at her, but she didn't back down, and finally, he relented, then nodded.

"Very well."

Earth-21, Metropolis, LexCorp

The Injustice League sat together, Zemo telling them. "This Act is very drastic."

"Shouldn't it be a good thing though, for you?" Malcolm inquired.

"Not if the Act incites a rebellion. They would turn monsters into martyrs. The Act isn't about doing what is right, it is about control. Any Enhanced under their thumb would be their attack dogs, with the Iron Man leading the pack." Zemo then added. "But it's the suddenness of this which truly disturbs me. The extent of which this chaos has been sown, it has been too swift."

"Oliver and his team are grieving. Not your work, that's for sure." Malcolm looked at Adrian.

"I'm only sad I couldn't have been the one to take her away from Oliver myself."

"Still, her sudden disappearance is disturbing, there was even a blackout in the city that couldn't be explained", Talia added.

Malcolm shrugged "I suppose though that with the IT girl gone, Oliver and the Merry Men will lose their technological expertise."

"Meaning they've lost a key resource." Lex said, and in his head, he couldn't help but compare them to his Oliver, and Chloe.

"Then there is this mass hallucination all over our world", Savage added, the rest looking at him. "It turned everyone into a monster, and these so-called Heroes failed to defeat the perpetrator."

"Even I want to stay away from the situation", Zoom of all people admitted.

"Either way", Lex said to them all. "We must continue to make our plans."

Earth-199999, New York City, Baxter Building

Sharon got out of her jet, seeing Tony and Rhodes arguing with the Fantastic Four, as Reed was saying. "We took children! CHILDREN!"

"Dangerous and powerful children, Reed-"

"Still children!" Susan snapped, getting into Tony's and Rhodes' faces. "Now, unless the world is ending- don't call!" With that, she stormed off into the building, with Reed and Johnny following her, Ben snarling at the two, before walking off too.

"That went well", Sharon said sarcastically as she walked to Tony and Rhodes. "Other than Jason Wyngarde, we couldn't get anyone significant."

"That island itself is a menace", Tony snarled, when Sharon's phone rang, and she picked up.

"Hello?" Her eyes widened on hearing what she heard. "Oh…We got Wyngarde…All right, I'm coming!"

She cut the call as Rhodes asked. "What's the matter?"

"The prison was broken into", she revealed, to their horror. "Everyone has been freed. And it's a mess."

"Where will we keep them then?" Rhodes asked, gesturing to the captives in Sharon's jet, plus Avalanche.

Sharon smirked. "There are other areas too." Her smirk became a frown. "Those Sentinels weren't as useful as we thought they could be, though."

"You're not wrong", Tony admitted, before adding. "But…we've got something."

"Really?" She raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah, didn't get the chance to put it into use this time, but we've someone with a very unique power. Our guests are gonna be imprinting that onto new Sentinels, and well….no Mutant is gonna be able to stand against them after that."

The three of them shared a smirk that'd have sent chills down the spines of the Fantastic Four if they were still here. Because Avalanche was completely freaked out.

---

So….that happened!

Krakoa was attacked by Team Iron Man (who drafted the Fantastic Four, while Sharon willingly helped them), and they'd Sentinels with them too. Now they've captured some Mutant children, plus Mastermind (no sympathies for him though), and this also replaced the airport fight from CW when Team Cap came in to fight, hope that was enjoyed. While Pyro beating Johnny in D&W was funny, overall, Johnny's power output in comics is too much for Pyro, as you can see here.

Decided to bring in Smallville Superman for a bit, to share what went down on his Earth with the VRA, as I wanted to do that. Plus Krakoa woke up and drove 'em all away too.

But Wanda and Pietro have joined the Avengers finally.

Also had Logan roast Wade and fight him again like in the film, as I found it funny. 'Kill Bill' existing in MCU is inspired by an idea gussygus28 gave me, thanks a lot to him. While D&W Gambit being son of 'Origins' Gambit was taken from Stand's 'Oliver in SHIELD' series with his permission, thank you to him. Hope the backstory made sense.

Now the prisoners have been rescued, except the missing Bill Foster, while Jessica/Luke reunite romantically, Logan/Rogue reunite like father/daughter, and Gambit meets Rogue!

Safe to say, Fantastic Four will have many hating them after this chapter, and must work hard to regain lost trust.

On Earth-8096, the Avengers, X-Men and Fantastic Four have reached the moon at the same time as Magneto, Bishop and their group, while Guardians of the Galaxy were defeated by Phoenix Force.

Meanwhile, both Thors are in 'God of War', during Ragnarök. Hope the Thors fighting Kratos was enjoyed. While Kratos (any version) would stomp canonical MCU Thor, here, MCU Thor's (and Asgardians in general) have been boosted to be closer to comics, like in EMH.

While MCU Amora has teamed up with GOW Odin, oh shit!

On Earth-38, a Viltrumite showed up, and killed MANY people, plus beat Danvers and Barry badly, until Earth-38 Superman saved them. Earth-38 Superman is from 'Superman & Lois' here, making Earth-38 a combo of that show and 'Supergirl' (with Black Lightning and a version of Batfleck existing). Hope the fight with Agron was enjoyed. Superman does not kill, but if his hand is forced and there is NO choice left at all, like here, he can get his hands dirty once in a while. Agron was an OC, but yes, he was a Viltrumite from the 'Invincible' Universe, played by Cam Gigandet.

I do not like YJ M'Gann at all, because of all the mental violations she keeps doing, and unlike Willow in Buffyverse, she never gets a real realization IMO. Which is why having her try to read MCU Banner's mind, and face the consequences for it, was so much fun. Since he is trying to bury the Hulk right now, the inside of his mind is fucked up.

Then, Constantine and his group recruit Swamp Thing and Abby Arcane, and meet the Winchesters and Bobby too. Dean doing his thing of hating Witches, then saying he loves Constantine a few minutes later was inspired by a joke by Bl4ckHunter, thanks a lot to him.

While in Buffyverse, the Vampires have gone into a frenzy and are killing indiscriminately. Plus Horror Icons have come too, with Jason killing Justine, Chucky killing Bitchedy and Pennywise killing Rona. While a maddened Spike killed Robin. But Famine is behind this!

And Drusilla is working for SPN Lucifer too, oh shit!

In Middle-earth, our Trio has met Geralt of Rivia from 'The Witcher', from early in the 3rd game, and they're already bonding once Ciri was mentioned.

Then they save a Westfold village from Heartless, Uruk-hai, and Unversed Smaug. Hope the fight was enjoyed. Now, Unversed Smaug got beaten, but let's just say it was a test run by Vanitas for something bigger.

I wanted to make the fight longer but we'd many long fights in this chapter, plus I think Sora, now experienced in using Elven Grace Form, alongside a very experienced Geralt, plus Donald and Goofy, would take the Unversed Dragon out after a good fight.

Now they've teamed up with Erkenbrand too, and will go to Helm's Deep.

Anyways, hope all enjoyed and see you all next time with another chapter.
