Champions & Wars Chapter 3: Recruitment, a Flash + Avengers Crossover fanfic

Disclaimer: I do not own anything you may recognize

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

Got some time and wrote out a few more chapters, so expect updates for a few weeks before we get another gap, as writing these chapters takes time.

Also, Buffyverse will make a return in the 5th chapter, as one of the ongoing plotlines shall involve Buffyverse eventually, and many more fandoms. Star Wars returns in Chapter 7.

Plus, BrutalRaynor has posted another sandbox fic titled 'The Grim Visions' on AO3, a one-shot which teases a lot of future plotlines for various franchises, its the mother of all teases, and very exciting.

Enjoy.

TW: Thank you for the review, glad it was nicely done. Glad you loved it. Not sure how that absolves Ten of being a sanctimonious hypocrite, plus Harriet died one year later anyways so it didn't do much. Plus who knows, before The Master came, she could have made some good reforms that'd be back in effect after The Master was beaten, but she got deposed before she could do anything.

Gallifrey 22.3: Thank you for the review. Glad it was fantastic. Good to know. They sure are. She did. The message they sent was 'if you come to Earth and kill our people, we are more than prepared to fight back'. Everyone wants to act like Harriet is the bad guy for merely making sure that these people couldn't come back and hurt their people again, but 'Stolen Earth' proved her point, as did 'Children of Earth'. The Doctor is not always there, and they are usually defenseless against these threats.

Guest 1: Thank you for the review. Yeah, it was unfair. Agreed there totally. Would be fun to see that. Yes, definitely would be interesting. I don't think Sadakaya would be that powerful, as there are multiple powers in the Universe that would SEVERELY outclass even the combined power of their curses. Plus outside of a basic psychic, we haven't seen her go up against anyone with actual power. The Sith would outclass her too. Steve sure did. Not really, as either of the three would make things too easy for Frodo and Sam. Last two times, I'd Natasha Romanoff and Dawn Summers respectively join Frodo/Sam, but while the former had great fighting skills and analytical mind of a spy, she was still a normal human and would struggle against Shelob and huge Orc armies, while Dawn at that point was a teenager and only had decent fighting skills, so she was in an even worse position than Nat. Sora, Donald and Goofy have too much power so they'd make things easy for Frodo/Sam. Yeah, they've 3 films so far, but weren't well-received.

Guest 2: Thanks for the review, glad it was wonderful. The message Harriet sent was 'if you come to Earth and kill our people, we are more than prepared to fight back'. Everyone wants to act like Harriet is the bad guy for merely making sure that these people couldn't come back and hurt their people again, but 'Stolen Earth' proved her point, as did 'Children of Earth'. The Doctor is not always there, and they are usually defenseless against these threats. Plus 'The Pandorica Opens' shows why making them run is not that effective.

DCMarvelheroes: Thanks for the review. Glad you loved that. Things are never that easy.

Chapter 3- Recruitment

Earth-8096, New York City

Bishop staggered up, glaring at Hulk, who slowly marched towards him, only for Bishop to fire the energy he'd absorbed earlier back at Hulk, making Hulk slide back by a few feet.

But, to his horror, Hulk grinned, and charged at him, Bishop now firing his guns, which barely had any effect. Hulk swiped his arm, trying to strike Bishop, who rolled to the other side to avoid, only for Hulk to grab him and lift him up, putting some pressure as Bishop screamed in pain.

"FREE THEM!" Hulk screamed, pointing at Captain America, Iron Man and Falcon.

Still in pain, Bishop, with his bionic arm, reached into his pocket and pulled out a special kind of gun, Hulk just scoffing, thinking it wouldn't affect him at all.

Only, when Bishop fired, a very unique-looking syringe shot out…and struck him in the arm.

Roaring, Hulk let Bishop go, as he rolled away, Hulk falling to his knees in pain, Bishop smirking as he staggered up. "A virus made in my time. It doesn't work on those for whom we made it, because they adapted to it." He added. "But it will work on you."

"We will work on you, bub."

Bishop spun around and saw Wolverine, Cyclops, Hawkeye and Black Panther standing there, ready to confront him, with Ms. Marvel, Vision and Wasp hovering nearby, Ant-Man sitting on a flying ant too.

He growled on seeing Wolverine and Cyclops. "You two…how can you support them and-?"

"The Professor told us all he knows about you", Wolverine snarled, but did not unleash his claws yet. "Don't do this. We can talk, come with us."

Bishop looked down, seeming to consider, but then looked back up coldly.

"If you're with them, then you're my enemy."

And then, he unleashed a powerful energy blast at them, as most flew or jumped away to avoid, with Vision turning invisible, and Ms. Marvel absorbed it into herself, glowing with power, then fired the blast near Bishop's feet, sending him flying off and falling into a corner, breaking that part of the ship.

Ant-Man, Wasp and Vision hovered near where Captain America, Falcon and Iron Man were restrained respectively, with Hank talking through comms to them.

"There is C4 attached to these devices. You need to disable that first. Vision, you can phase through it. Jan, Scott, get inside, cut the red wires."

"On it", Wasp said as she flew towards the C4.

"Let's go", Ant-Man said at the same time, flying towards the C4.

Vision phased through the C4 that was restraining Iron Man, and managed to disable it, the explosive dying down, while he looked at Iron Man, giving a nod, that he couldn't return.

Wolverine dodged another blast by Bishop, his claws out now. "War's over, Bishop."

"You're on the wrong side of this, Wolverine", Bishop snarled, ready to attack again.

"Heard that before from the other guy who was wrong", Wolverine replied, thinking about Magneto, as Bishop made to fire again but Wolverine who rolled towards him and getting up, used his claws to block, the energy making his claws light up.

As Bishop stopped, Wolverine charged him, Bishop trying to punch with his bionic arm as Wolverine dodged and grabbed Bishop's bionic arm. "The moment you went after Cap, you should have realized that you'd also be dealing with ME!"

With that, he flipped Bishop away, who staggered up, as Hawkeye fired an explosive arrow at him but he deflected it easily with the bionic arm as it exploded a few feet away from him, while Black Panther threw a kick at his face, which didn't do much, before he tried to strike back, but Black Panther flipped away.

Meanwhile, the other two C4 bombs died down too at the same time, with Ant-Man and Wasp coming out, while Vision phased through the inhibitor chair holding Iron Man, managing to short-circuit it, Iron Man being freed as he stood up.

"Thanks Vision."

Vision nodded and walking towards where Captain America was restrained, did the same to that inhibitor chair, short-circuiting it as Cap stood up, rubbing his wrists.

"Thank you."

Captain America then rushed to where Falcon was restrained and smashed the glass tank, the liquid flowing out as he immediately threw the mask around Falcon off, and Falcon groaned, coming to.

"Hey Cap."

"Falcon."

Captain America then turned to where Bishop was, and called out. "One last time, stand down."

"NO!" Bishop cried out, firing another blast that Cap deflected with his shield, while Falcon flew up and grabbed Bishop from behind by the waist.

"Payback time!"

Before Bishop could free himself, Iron Man grabbed the bionic arm and Captain America grabbed the normal one, while Wolverine grabbed him by the neck, Bishop trying to free himself.

Getting an idea, Cyclops took off his visor, keeping his eyes shut. "OUT OF THE WAY!"

The Avengers and Wolverine quickly got out of the way as Cyclops opened his eyes, Bishop having no time to dodge, with Cyclops' optic beams hitting him at full force, though he absorbed it, and started laughing.

"You're not as smart as they say", Bishop told Cyclops.

"About that", Cyclops said with gritted teeth, continuing to fire, as he started screaming, hitting his limit, but at the same time, Bishop was as well, this much energy being too much for him.

Bishop then started glowing as Cap cried out. "GET BACK!"

Most of them did, with some getting behind Cap, who held out his shield, and then the freighter was rocked by a huge blast, causing huge holes at the upper levels as well as the sides, and also where Bishop used to stand.

When the smoke cleared, Bishop lay on the ground, unconscious.

The Avengers, Wolverine and Cyclops stood around the unconscious Mutant, with Ant-Man growing back to normal size, while Wasp hovered nearby.

"Logan, Scott, thank you", Cap thanked them, giving them a nod that they returned.

"Who is he?" Iron Man then asked, pointing at Bishop.

"He is a Mutant from the future", Wolverine revealed, to their surprise. "Charles told us there's a huge mess over there….a third time."

"What kind of mess?" Ant-Man inquired.

"Mutants are being hunted in the future again, and apparently the Avengers are part of it", Cyclops said, to the horror of the Avengers.

"How could we have done this in the future?" Cap said in disbelief, everyone else wondering the same thing.

"Charles said anything else?" Hawkeye asked at that point.

"No, he didn't have time, and he'd to escape from wherever he was", Wolverine explained to the group. "He just had enough time to warn us about Bishop. Who we've taken down now."

"So, what to do about him?" Cyclops wondered with folded arms.

"The Hydro-Base", Black Panther suggested where to keep him. "42 would be too far; we need to talk to him and understand why he is doing this."

"Yeah, seems fair, let's do it", Wolverine agreed with a nod, as Hulk got up with a groan, rubbing his chest.

"Fever is smashed", Hulk commented, making the rest chuckle a bit, Hulk's healing factor having overcome the virus finally. "But Hulk tired."

That surprised them again as Iron Man asked. "Tired how?"

"Wanna stay in", Hulk sighed. "Don't wanna stay out and fight for now."

Earth-199999, New York City, Hell's Kitchen, Nelson and Murdock

""Any Enhanced Individual who agrees to sign must register with the United Nations and provide biometric data such as fingerprints and DNA samples. Those with secret identities must reveal their legal names and true identities to the United Nations."" Matt muttered in horror that was shared by Foggy and even Karen. "This is a classic case of compelled speech, some of which applies to signatories and some of which does not apply to signatories. But forcing individuals to give up their secret identities is the government compelling you to make a certain kind of speech. And if the first amendment has a problem with the government restricting certain speech, you can imagine that it is doubly problematic if it forces individuals to make a certain kind of speech. For example, in the Supreme Court case of West Virginia School Board vs. Barnette, the Supreme Court said that a school could not force students to stand and salute the flag. Now I do believe you should salute it, but that was still compelled speech. And in the same way, you can't force individuals to give up their secret identities and provide biometric data and fingerprints to the government."

"This entire thing gets more messed up with every sentence", Foggy had to say himself as he read the next bit. "Forced registration sounds a lot like internment. The SHRA requires all enhanced individuals to at least register with the government whether they are using their powers or not, which sounds a lot like internment of the Japanese in World War II under executive order 9066 by President Roosevelt. It was tested in a court case Korematsu and the Supreme Court did not overrule the executive order that interned the Japanese. Korematsu is still good law. Though I doubt the Supreme Court would rule the same way today, despite the fact the ruling has never been overturned. But in any case, this is a clear violation of fourth and fifth amendment protections and requirement for due process. Good Lord, who is behind this stuff?"

"Someone with a stellar military career, at least he says so", Steve said with a bite in his tone that most people who knew him would not expect from him.

"Number three, monitoring of enhanced individuals. This seems like a clear fourth amendment problem. The SHRA states and I quote- "Those with innate powers must also wear tracking bracelets at all times." The problem is warrantless tracking without probable cause just because someone is an enhanced individual would be a clear fourth amendment violation, a violation of right to privacy, being enhanced doesn't necessarily mean you have probable cause to monitor them. And it would be crazy to have a blanket monitoring system that would monitor everyone in the US without probable cause. So its very good that the US government has never had a program like that, to monitor people without probable cause, until this. The SHRA also states that "Those with innate powers must submit to a power analysis, which will categorize their threat level and determine potential health risks." This feels like a huge violation of the right to privacy. The government just can't go around doing medical examinations of individuals just because it feels like it's in the public interest. People have individual rights to specifically protect them from this kind of invasive testing. And additionally, it would probably be a violation of Mr. Stark's intellectual property."

Foggy nodded in agreement. "Even if he hasn't patented the Iron Man suit, which he would have, it would probably be a trade secret, and the compelled power analysis would probably violate his IP rights to the suit that he created."

"Number four, second amendment's individual right to bear arms", Matt explained. "While this is still a huge point of controversy, in recent Supreme Court precedent, in the District of Columbia vs. Heller, the Supreme Court confirmed that the second amendment does provide an individual the right to bear arms. So, what is the threshold for Iron Man, Falcon and War Machine to be able to use their inventions that they created effectively, the Iron Man suits or Falcon machinery are arms they have created, and certainly, in some circumstances, you are allowed to an individual right to bear arms. Now obviously, individuals are not allowed to have military hardware but the SHRA don't actually make clear where the individual right to bear arms starts and where the exclusion of military technology kicks in and how that would apply to the individuals who are not innately enhanced but have created an enhanced suit for themselves. So given the makeup of the Supreme Court and deference shown to individual right to bear arms under second amendment, you can bet that SHRA run afoul of that right under the Constitution as well."

"So, not a lot of legal consulting was done when making this up, is that right?" Karen asked, and Matt nodded, Steve running a hand over his head.

"While I stood my ground, part of me wished that I was wrong, that this was actually a good thing for our country, and beyond", Steve confessed to Matt, Foggy and Karen. "But now, hearing it from you…this sounds even worse than what I was thinking."

"It is. It seems more like something made to control movements of all vigilantes rather than keeping the people safe", Matt said with a sigh. "Number five, a violation of the freedom to associate. The SHRA apply to all the Avengers even those who are not enhanced, effectively preventing them from being a member of this community or group. Now the first amendment is most famous for the individual right to freedom of speech but the lesser-known right of the first amendment is the right to voluntarily associate. And the SHRA prevent individuals from association with the private organization called the Avengers. Just because you're an enhanced individual doesn't mean you lack first amendment rights to be part of a group you want to participate in."

"Meaning people like Natasha and Clint would be affected by this", Steve noted with folded arms, Matt nodding again.

"There's even more, but you get the gist", Matt told Steve, who could not disagree at all.

"I do. What do you suggest we do about this?"

"Right now, I would recommend NOT signing anything, but this is still the US government. We cannot delay this indefinitely. It would be for the best to try and negotiate with them about the terms."

"That is what I was thinking", Steve agreed with Matt's point-of-view. "But not everyone in the team agrees." He thought of Tony and Rhodes. "However, with your explanation, I think they could be convinced."

"Happy to help", Matt shrugged with a smile, when Foggy put a hand to his shoulder.

"Can I talk to you outside for a minute?"

"Sure." Matt stood up, taking his cane, as he and Foggy walked out of the room.

"Wonder what that's about", Karen muttered, sharing a look with Steve, who just shrugged.

"Look Matt", Foggy said, putting a hand to Matt's shoulder. "While I agree about this SHRA being too much, with the conditions right now, I think you…"

"….should have the other guy lay low?" Matt asked. Foggy's silence was all the answer he needed.

For about half a minute, both were silent.

"No."

"I'm sorry, what?"

"No", Matt repeated firmly. "I know you're concerned but-"

"But do we need to wait until you're thrown into prison?"

"When I put on that suit, I took a stand against crime in our neighborhood", Matt told Foggy passionately. "A flawed document that does not understand our laws cannot stop me from doing what needs to be done."

"So…..you'll be a full-on criminal?" Foggy inquired in disbelief. "That more important to you than", he gestured around them, "this?"

"I know you're not okay with any of this, but I will not give up who I am just because a document says I have to!" Matt finally declared with all his firmness. "If they want me, they're in for it, because I am not going down so easily." He walked off, adding while passing by Foggy's ear. "If they find out who I am, you can happily deny knowing about it. After all, Karen doesn't know, so it's not out of the question that you wouldn't know either."

Foggy looked down with a sigh, realizing he could not talk Matt out of this. As much as he was annoyed by Matt's stance, he still hoped that Matt would be fine when push came to shove.

Asgard

Thor and Hercules both knelt before Odin in the throne room, the former saying. "Ulik and his forces have been defeated father, and our people are safe."

"You did well, my son", Odin assured Thor, and gave Hercules a scornful look. "Even you did well….for a buffoon."

Hercules shook his head as Thor looked at Odin in hurt, sighing, his face and eyes showing reproach, but Odin seemed to not care.

"He is my friend, father, and our guest. He also aided us in fighting Ulik when he'd no reason to, for he is just a guest. He should be treated better."

Odin seemed to look conflicted, and barely gave a nod to Thor, as he and Hercules got up and walked out together.

A while later, Thor approached the eating Hercules. "I apologize to you for my father's remark, my friend."

"You don't need to apologize", Hercules assured him, Thor nodding with a sigh.

"My father is a good man, but he is not without his flaws, as you can see", Thor pointed out to the Greek Hero. "That does not mean I support his behavior though; I will make sure he treats you better."

"It is all right, my friend", Hercules assured Thor once more, before shrugging. "Besides, I'm used to it." He added with a wince. "But kinda surprised he said that."

Thor raised an eyebrow. "How so?"

Hercules explained what he meant after swallowing some more food and looking at the rest of it. "Your dad usually just gave me these scolding looks, and admittedly they were enough to scare the robes off me. "Buffoon"? Sounds like something Loki would call me."

"..."

"...Thor?" Herc looked up from his food, and found his friend and fellow God gone. "Buddy?"

Earth-1, Detroit

It was nighttime in Detroit, and many people were attempting to get back to their homes. But unfortunately, there was a rather large traffic jam that was caused by a brunette woman who was too busy talking on her phone, and as a result felt her back bumper get hit.

"Well, just great!" the woman complained. "No, not the presentation, that's terrible! Some idiot just hit me."

The woman then stepped out of her car, and stood in the middle of the street.

"Do you realize how much this will fucking cost?! Not in money which I have plenty of, but in-"

The woman then stopped her little rant when the man who hit her stepped out of his car… and turned into something horrifying right in front of her eyes. From what she could see, he had light brown skin, horns for eyes, goblin-like ears, and sharp demonic looking teeth.

"What the…?" the woman murmured in fear. "Get away from me! Get away!"

She then hopped back into her car. But as she got in, she then saw several similar looking demons walking toward her direction.

"Help me! Someone help!" She continued to scream as a demon was then facing directly at her, making her scream even more.

"Stay the fuck away!"

The woman then closed her windshield and started her engine, tearing through the streets and hitting as many demons as she possibly could. But then suddenly, she felt her car getting picked up and then simultaneously being set down.

A light skinned black woman then approached her, wearing an amulet and a tiger-like costume. The woman recognized her as none other than Vixen.

"Vixen! Oh thank God!" the woman cried out, as she got on her knees. "Save me! Save me from them!"

"From whom?" Vixen inquired.

"Demons." The woman said. "They're everywhere! Don't you see them?!"

Vixen then turned around to see what she was talking about. And all she saw were normal and innocent people who were all either horribly injured… or dead. She didn't know what this woman was seeing, but she thought she was completely delusional and needed some serious help.

Vixen then gave the woman a glare, making her nervous.

"I see only one."

Central City

In a suburban home, a man was seen aiming a shotgun at what appeared to be some red grotesque monster that had several mouths and eyes all over its body.

"I'm gonna ask you this one last time!" The man yelled. "What the Hell did you do to my family?!"

"Steven, it's me, Gloria!" the monster yelled in a distorted voice. "I'm your wife, and these are our children!"

"You're not my family! You killed them, just the others!" Steven yelled, cranking the pump on his gun. "Now it's your turn!"

But just as Steven pulled the trigger, a flash of yellow lightning came into the house, running in front of the monster. Pun intended as when the streak faded, it was revealed to be none other than, well… The Flash, who opened his left hand and let the shotgun pellets fall straight to the floor. He then ran towards Steven, and snatched his shotgun away from him.

"No one's dying here tonight."

"It's not me you should be stopping!" Steven insisted. "It's them! Look at them!"

Just then, the front was kicked open, revealing the likes of Detective Joe West, Detective Patty Spivot and Captain Singh barging into the house as they started to arrest Steven.

While this was happening, Flash looked around to see what Steven was pointing at… and then saw a woman with two children, who he immediately assumed was Steven's family, appearing to be very scared of what was going on.

"It's just like the neighbors." Steven said in desperation. "Go to my shed, you'll see I'm right!"

Flash then ran to the shed, proceeding to throw a ball of lightning to bust the door, and peered inside. And as he suspected, all he saw were mutilated bodies. Whether they were hung up toward the ceiling, or simply laid on the floor, they all had one thing in common: They were all human.

Has this man completely lost his mind?

As Flash thought this, he then gave Steven a glaring look once he and the cops had joined him.

"What have you done?"

Star City

"What the fuck did you do to my Laurel?!" Quentin Lance asked, aiming his gun at a demon in front of him.

"Dad! I am Laurel!" The monster begged. "Don't you remember?!"

"No, you're lying! You killed her!" Lance yelled, aiming to pull the trigger. But just before he was about to do the deed, the Green Arrow burst into the apartment and quickly disarmed Quentin with an arrow.

"Quentin! What the Hell do you think you're doing?!"

"Oliver, look at that thing! It's a demon!" Quentin yelled. "And it killed my daughter!"

Green Arrow looked behind him, and what he saw was none other than Laurel Lance. Green Arrow walked up toward Laurel, and began to comfort her.

"Laurel, are you alright?" he asked, turning off his voice modulator. Laurel slowly nodded yes, and then they both turned to Quentin, who had a face of shock.

"But… But…" Quentin stammered. "I could've sworn that it was a demon."

Green Arrow looked at him with confusion. What had become of his old friend? Sure, he was shown to be judgmental in the past, especially when Oliver first started the vigilante gig as The Hood, and there was his drinking problem. But this… This was something else entirely.

Green Arrow then left the apartment as he thought this.

Gotham City

A blonde woman was seen standing on the balcony of a cathedral, holding a blanketed object in her hands. And then, as she pulled the blanket back, in her eyes, she saw a tiny demon, but in reality… it was a baby, presumably her own, which she was preparing to drop into the streets down below.

"Let me help you."

The woman then turned around to see none other than the Batman standing right next to her.

"It's not my fault." The woman tried explaining herself. "I've given birth to the Devil. It's the Devil!"

"You're tired." Batman tried to assure her. "Give me the baby. You don't want to hurt her." He had been trying to track a recent enemy of his named Poison Ivy until a while ago. She was a botanical scientist by the name of Pamela Isley, who was too passionate about saving plant-life, so she did a lot of activism regarding plants, and protested against any move she thought would harm plants.

But then, about a month ago, an experiment she was performing had gone wrong and given her the power to manipulate plants, and she also had immunity to toxins now, while she could use many of her own.

She'd threatened to release spores all over Gotham City unless her demands were fulfilled, but Batman had defeated and captured the eco-terrorist, placing her in Arkham Asylym. Only, she'd broken out last night, and Batman was trying to find out where she'd go, when people all around had started behaving erratically, screaming about seeing Demons.

The woman holding the baby looked at the Caped Crusader one last time, and then took another look at the little demon, when for a brief second, it changed back into the baby… but then it quickly changed back into the demon, scaring the life out of her.

The woman then threw the baby off of the balcony, with Batman quickly jumping off after the baby, catching the baby and using his grapple gun to swing up to safety.

But then after 2 seconds, he heard a thud, and looked to see that the woman had fallen to her death. Batman then looked at the baby with remorse. He may have saved the infant, but unfortunately, he couldn't do the same for her mother.

"I'm sorry."

Middle-earth, Lothlórien

Sora, Donald and Goofy were in a large field of grass and then found themselves in a forest which had trees with bright, golden leaves.

"Those leaves are so beautiful", Sora commented in awe, the three companions continuing to move ahead cautiously.

"I sense some powerful magic here", Donald told the other two what he was feeling about this place.

"Good or bad, Donald?" Goofy inquired.

"Can't tell, Goofy", Donald shrugged.

Suddenly, Sora heard a very familiar voice in his head.

You bring a pure light to this world, Sora. But your power is still faded, and you will need to reclaim it before you face the Darkness here, and the Darkness you are preparing to face.

Sora darted his head around nervously, both Donald and Goofy noticing.

"What is it, Sora?" Donald inquired.

"That voice….I heard it again", Sora confessed to Donald and Goofy. "It told me to reclaim my power."

"Well….it ain't wrong about that", Goofy commented, when suddenly, arrows appeared inches from his face. Before Sora and Donald could react, they saw that arrows had been pointed at them from all directions.

The ones pointing the arrows were tall, blonde and ethereal-looking people, all of them having pointed ears.

Then, a very tall and majestic looking person stepped up, eyeing them carefully, and strangely, the other Elves having strange looks too, mainly aimed at Donald and Goofy.

"Why are you looking at us like that?" Donald asked in confusion.

"Just…..never seen ones looking like you before", the blonde person said, before raising his hand as the others lowered their bows. "You have entered the Realm of the Lady of the Wood. She wishes to speak with you."

With that, he turned around and started walking, the three following him and the rest, with Goofy wondering as he scratched his head. "Who is this Lady of the Wood?"

"Maybe she is the one whose voice I was hearing?" Sora suggested, though he'd a feeling he was right.

Earth-199999, New York City, U.N. Headquarters

Ross was walking through the headquarters, as he saw T'Chaka standing before him, and held out his hand. "King T'Chaka."

"Secretary Ross", T'Chaka said, grasping Ross' hand as the two shook hands, with T'Chaka's son T'Challa looking out the glass window nearby.

"I am glad to see you here", Ross told him, leading him away. "We can discuss about the measures needed if the Avengers are to enter Wakanda."

"I am here because we will fight to improve the world we wish to join", T'Chaka told Ross. "I am grateful to you for reaching out as well. Wakanda is proud to extend its hand in peace."

He called out to his son. "T'Challa."

T'Challa started walking towards them. "The future is calling." The two chuckled, when T'Challa noticed something, and looked out the window again, seeing a man running away, pushing people out of the way.

Sensing something was off, T'Challa rushed towards the two men. "EVERYBODY GET DOWN!"

That was when a massive explosion rocked the entire building, destroying most of the hall as T'Challa was sent flying off and falling into a corner, his ears making out the sounds of people screaming and running.

Opening his eyes, he staggered up, and saw Ross staggering up in a corner, his face covered with blood and dirt. But his heart fell when he saw his father lying on the floor with his eyes closed.

He rushed to T'Chaka, grabbing his wrist and feeling for a pulse, only to realize his father was still. Devastated, T'Challa lay across his father. He lifted him up and rocked him in his arms.

Universe-8096, Asgard

The Amora of this Universe appeared inside of a vault in Asgard, a smirk on her face, and her eyes glowing with the power of fire.

Surtur's position of her had given her even more power than before, and combined with her own magic, she'd managed to bypass Heimdall's sight, appearing right in Odin's vault in Asgard.

With Odin himself in the Odinsleep again, she was going to get what she wanted without any hassle.

There were many things of value in this vault, considering it belonged to the Allfather himself, but there was one specific thing she wanted.

In the Chalice of Muspelheim on the Pillar of Privaldi, was the Eternal Flame, a mystical, inextinguishable fire from which the Fire Demon Surtur, her master, drew his power.

Slowly, she walked towards it, holding out her hand, only for the doors behind her to open, and groaning, she turned around, seeing Thor Odinson standing there.

"Amora the Enchantress", Odinson snarled, lifting up his hammer. "You made a grave mistake coming here. Your arrogance shall be your downfall."

"Here I thought no one in Asgard would catch me, yet its you who did", Enchantress spoke, before lighting up on fire. "It is time for your end!"

And with that, she fired a blast of fire at Odinson, who deflected with Mjolnir, and then leapt at her, lightning coming off of the hammer, but she formed a force-field of fiery magic, defending herself, before striking at his face with a fiery blast that made him fly back and fall down at the doors.

He quickly picked himself back up, Enchantress surrounding Odinson with a ring of fire in the air, and tried to wrap it around him, but he twirled Mjolnir, summoning a strong wind that dispelled her fire, before he fired lightning right at her, striking her and sending her falling down with a grunt.

Then, he marched towards her. "Surrender now, Enchantress."

"Never!" She snarled, standing up as she aimed her hand at Odinson, and he was surrounded by her magical binding, with fire on it, making him grunt in pain.

However, he twirled Mjolnir, and lightning came off of it, dissipating the binding, as Enchantress realized she couldn't overpower him, and even if she did, the rest of Asgard would soon be here.

Using her powers, she opened a fiery portal behind herself and tried to run into it, but Odinson aimed Mjolnir at her portal, and using his own power, started closing it, to her horror.

"Your magic has always been impressive, Witch", Odinson said to her. "But the power of Mjolnir is greater."

"Not greater than Surtur!" Enchantress screamed as she struggled against him, managing to widen her portal once more, but Odinson struggled too, slowly closing it again.

The two gritted their teeth, now in a sort of 'tug of war', Enchantress trying to rip open her portal, and Odinson trying to shut it down.

Suddenly, there was a shockwave explosion that sent various things in the vault tumbling down, though nothing broke due to the durability all these items had.

And then, a rip in space appeared, slowly widening, turning into a wormhole, and started sucking everything in the room inside towards itself slowly, the wormhole having been formed due to clash of magic between the primordial power granted by Surtur to Enchantress, and the great power wielded by Thor.

Getting up, Enchantress rushed into the wormhole.

"STOP!" Odinson cried out, and flew after her, going into the wormhole himself, and it closed just as he went through it.

Sif and Balder burst into the room at that very moment, and were horrified to see the wormhole close.

"NO! THOR!" Balder cried out.

"Where'd they go?" Sif asked in shock.

Balder looked grim. "To a completely different Universe."

Sif's eyes widened in horror. "What shall we do now?"

Balder sighed, shaking his head. "Only my father can help us all now." And he was in the Odinsleep as of now.

Earth-1, Los Angeles

A man was in his bathroom, getting ready for a date that he had with a woman, and he checked himself out, hoping his charm was on.

"Oh yes, you got this, she'll like you, you're the man!" He muttered to himself while looking at the mirror. "Just like that Candyman guy…at least before he was murdered and became that ghost….I think."

He stared at himself in the mirror, his confidence increasing.

"Oh yeah, just like Candyman. Candyman. Candyman. Candyman. Candyman."

Suddenly, the lights of the entire house went out, and the screaming of the man was heard, before there was a slicing sound, and then the screaming died down.

At that moment, the lights came back on, and in place of the man stood Candyman and Helen Lyle.

Candyman 1992 Title Sequence plays

The two looked down at the disemboweled dead body of the man they had just killed, smirking at the sight of the blood pouring out, forming a pool underneath his body, with some bees buzzing around near the corpse.

Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!

Sharing a look, the two Urban Legends spun around, seeing Lucifer of Earth-205 now standing before them, a smirk on his face, as he looked at the dead body of the man briefly, looking quite impressed.

"Well, well, well… I knew you two were perfect as the final ones for this task, and you've shown the same again."

"Who are you?" Candyman asked, holding up his hook threateningly at Lucifer, his bees buzzing behind himself and Helen.

"And why do you not seem to fear us?" Helen inquired too, before smirking. "Well, we can change that."

But Lucifer raised his hand. "Uh, I'm the one that sent you to kill Chloe Decker, duh!"

That surprised the two of them, Candyman noting. "I believed someone like you would look…more imposing."

"This is not my real form, this is just a vessel, a good one I might add", Lucifer told the Urban Legends, looking at his body once with a smirk, before looking back at them. "Anyways, that guy you killed for me….that was truly impressive, just like the other kills you've made, which is why I'm here."

"For what exactly?" Candyman inquired of him.

""Be our victim"". The two were surprised to hear their quote being said back to them. "That is what you say, right? Well, I am someone who wants to kill people too, to spite the Guy upstairs."

Noting he had their attention, Lucifer added. "And….there are more worlds besides this one, I am from one of them. And I want to kill as many as possible in all these worlds, as part of my mission, to bring about the Apocalypse on more than just one world. So, tell me- do you want people from many worlds to be our victim?"

Candyman and Helen shared a look, noting just how much power Lucifer had, having been able to sense it, and now…he was offering them the chance to join him and kill even more!

"We shall join you", Candyman finally declared. "With a hook for my hand, I'll split from groin to gullet."

"And our Urban Legend shall be known to all the worlds", Helen added, the bees surrounding them and buzzing loudly.

The grin on Lucifer's face grew wide, for he was quite pleased. And now, it was time to get the others.

Middle-earth, Lothlórien

Hours later, the Trio was on a leaf-shaped platform on the trees.

"Why exactly does the Lady of the Wood want to see us?" Goofy asked the blonde person. "Mister….."

"I am Haldir, Marchwarden of Lothlórien", Haldir finally gave his name. "We are the Elves who reside in this realm."

"Elves?" Sora asked in confusion.

Haldir raised his eyebrow. "I do not understand."

"Weren't they supposed to be short people who helped Santa?" Sora wondered, scratching his head in disbelief.

"Who is Santa?" Haldir asked, which just increased the looks of confusion on Sora, Donald and Goofy, the latter two having wide-eyes. "And we are not short, that would be the Dwarves."

"…Huh?" Donald said finally, sharing looks with Sora and Goofy. "I guess the Elves in this world are different."

"In a good way, I like 'em", Goofy had to say, considering how ethereal they all looked.

"Anyways, why does the Lady of the Wood want to see me?" Sora finally asked Haldir properly this time.

"She says the three of you followed the Fellowship in Moria, and that your coming will be an aid to us all", Haldir revealed to the stunned Trio. "For all of our sakes, I hope what she speaks comes true." He shot Donald and Goofy. "Even if the two of you…do not look like anyone else we have seen here."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Donald asked with folded arms.

"A duck that behaves like a Man, and a dog that behaves like a Man, we have never had those over here", Haldir said, his tone hiding how flabbergasted he truly was, with Donald and Goofy sharing another surprised look alongside a 'huh', while Haldir walked off to speak to some other Elves.

Earth-1, Camp Crystal Lake

Friday the 13th theme plays

A lesbian couple, who'd been having sex in their tent before, were now on the run from someone, both naked, not having had the time to get dressed when he had come after them.

Seeing a large tree, one said to the other. "Come on, quick!"

The other nodded, as the two quickly rushed behind the tree, and hid there, panting, hugging each other in fear, as the second one whispered. "Is he gone?"

Ki-ki-ki-ma-ma-ma

All of a sudden, a machete stabbed through the tree, and struck the two hugging women, stabbing through them hard and chopping them into two, their blood splattering on the tree.

The machete was retracted, with Jason Voorhees standing on the other side of the tree, tilting his head as he looked down at the upper halves of the two women's bodies, before turning around to walk away.

A sardonic laugh was then heard in the area.

Jason turned back around, seeing Lucifer standing there before him, a grin on his face, his arms folded while he leaned against the tree through which Jason had stabbed to kill the women.

"Ah, now that's a classic." Lucifer remarked, making Jason tilt his head in confusion "Oh, yeah, where are my manners? Name's Lucifer, and I was the person who ordered you to kill Rene Remirez."

Jason just stared at Lucifer, walking towards him, and all of a sudden, he raised his machete, bringing it down on Lucifer.

Only, Lucifer grabbed his arm, and tore it off, the torn arm still holding machete, blood now spurting out of the stump that was in the place of Jason's arm, Jason tilting his head again.

Even Freddy and the psychic women hadn't given him trouble like this, as this man had easily torn off his arm.

"I know you like to slice everyone who comes here, but just listen", Lucifer said while raising Jason's torn arm. "I want people to die…in more than just this world, because I am starting a sort of Apocalypse, you can say, and I need people with a talent in murdering, such as yourself."

Grinning, Lucifer offered Jason's torn arm back to him. "So, what do you say Jason? Want to drop even more bodies and make Mother proud with your actions."

Hearing that, Jason nodded, and took his torn arm back, with Lucifer then touching Jason and his arm, after which, in the very next second, Jason's arm had been joined back to his body, the murderer holding up his machete.

Lucifer grinned, knowing who he had to get next.

Earth-199999, New York City, Avengers Compound

Steve, Natasha, Wilson and Rhodes watched the news of the attack on U.N.

"So far, there have been ten confirmed casualties, including King T'Chaka of Wakanda, with twenty-five more injured."

Steve looked down sadly, Sam shaking his head, Rhodes sighing while Natasha's face was an emotionless mask but it was obvious she was grieving inside.

"Footage shows the scientist-turned-superhero known as Doctor Bruce Banner fleeing from the scene after planting the bomb…"

That made all of them do a double-take, as they saw an image of Bruce Banner being displayed, running from the area, after having planted a bomb that looked quite alien.

"Doctor Banner is a highly renowned scientist for his work in nuclear physics and gamma radiation. He went on the run after a laboratory accident, but after joining the Avengers to fight back the alien invasion as Hulk, he was pardoned and allowed to rejoin society. However, with him now being the prime suspect behind this bombing, warrants are out for him once more. The Avengers can't be reached out to for any comments…."

"No one reached out to us!" Wilson snapped, shaking his head.

"Trying to be sensational", Natasha snarled, before sharing a look with Steve. "Bruce would NEVER do that!"

"I know", Steve agreed with a nod. "Unfortunately, he did not take any electronics where he went. We'll have to go in-person to ask him about all this, and warn him of what's going to happen, wherever he is."

"Guys, look, he is our friend and our teammate, so he deserves the benefit of the doubt", Rhodes said, causing the other three to turn to him. "But if we try to protect him from the authorities, we'll just make things worse."

"What are you saying?" Wilson asked, arms folded.

"Let us all take him in gently and question him. I'm sure things will be cleared up", Rhodes suggested, but Steve shook his head.

"Even if he agrees to come, Hulk won't, and I am not going to throw either of them under the bus over an accusation", Steve immediately ruled out Rhodes' suggestion.

"He was caught on camera!"

"Which doesn't-"

"Running after planting the bomb!"

"Why'd he even do that?" Wilson inquired.

"Maybe trying to get back at Ross?" Rhodes half-asked, half-suggested.

"I thought you trusted him due to that Congressional Medal of Honor", Natasha countered, making him shake his head with a groan.

"If Bruce wanted to cause any destruction, he'd just go green so Hulk could do it", Steve pointed out. "He would not take time to make and plant a bomb."

"I'm not saying he did it, but thinking from the point of view of those who'll want to bring him in- perhaps he made the bomb so this is not traced to him?"

"Then why get caught on camera?" Wilson asked in reply.

"He is not a spy or soldier, he is just a scientist, he might not be as good as the rest in avoiding those."

"Oh yeah, he is really bad at hiding, so bad he managed to be on the run from the military for 5 years!" Natasha said, and Rhodes now realized he'd no counterargument. "Not to mention, we know there are people who can look like others."

"Like who?" Rhodes inquired.

Natasha walked to a pad, and pressed, a hologram of a blue-skinned woman appearing there. "Mystique, a Mutant who used to work with Magneto, who could take the form of literally anyone. She was struck by a Mutant cure and lost her powers. Magneto abandoned her so she ratted his base out of the FBI. That is her last known sighting."

"But you just said she was hit by a cure", Rhodes pointed out.

"Didn't say she did it, just pointing out that we'd a literal shape-shifter who could turn into anyone- you, me, Steve, even the President!"

"And we don't know if she was the only shape-shifter out there", Steve added cautiously, Rhodes sighing, looking like he was considering, when Steve's phone rang.

He held it out, seeing the number was unknown, but picked it up, having a feeling who it was, as he put it on speaker.

"Captain Rogers."

"Secretary Ross", Steve greeted with gritted teeth.

"I imagine you all know what I'm calling about."

"Yes Secretary, Doctor Banner blowing up the U.N. headquarters in New York."

"Allegedly", Wilson added, shooting Rhodes a look, but he just raised his hands.

"I remember asking you, Captain Rogers, about Thor and Hulk. You said there was nothing to worry about regarding them."

"Well, according to the footage, it wasn't Hulk who did anything", Natasha countered with a little sneer.

"Regardless, Doctor Banner is the prime suspect now, so, would you all care to tell me where he is?"

"He went incognito on a vacation to have some peace, no electronics either", Steve told Ross.

"Well, better find him fast, Captain."

"Why do you think he'd do it, though?" Steve asked Ross, and it was silent on the other end for a bit. "Especially as himself when he could just go green to let Hulk do it."

"Maybe he is just trying to send me some sort of message!"

"Now why would he do that, Secretary?" Steve asked with an edge to his voice. "Unless he has reason to have any beef with you."

It went silent for half a minute, and everyone could tell Ross was dumbfounded by Steve's indirect but well-aimed attack at him.

"The SHRA has been fast-tracked because of Doctor Banner's actions, Captain Rogers. Alongside the Mutant Response Division, we are creating the SHRA taskforce, comprised of agents from various agencies, to take in illegal vigilantes. Do not make things any worse than they are."

"Well, if you're going to take him without considering anything else, you've already done it", Steve countered. "And you just confirmed that you've now made us all the enemies because of one man's alleged actions. The SHRA violates many laws of the US, and basic human rights, I talked to a lawyer about it, he told me everything, so how are you even going to pass it?"

Ross was heard snarling before he said. "Oh you don't know how much people are tired of vigilantes, so passing it will be easy. This isn't over, Captain."

The call was cut, as Rhodes shot Steve a look. "Are you crazy? You just mouthed off to the Secretary! And he has fast-tracked the SHRA!"

"If you were listening properly, he said it was being done already, Steve did not cause him to do anything", Wilson countered, and shook his head. "What's up with you, man? How can you be so eagerly ready to throw your own teammate under the bus?"

"I don't want to, I'm just trying to keep the peace", Rhodes said, when his phone rang. He saw who it was, and picking up, put it on speaker.

"Hello everyone, I imagine the Secretary already called."

"Tony, you know it can't be Bruce, you've spent more time with him than any of us", Steve said, hoping Tony would listen to reason at least.

"I don't think it is, but we've to be sure, Cap!"

They sighed, with Natasha saying. "Even if we all go after him with the authorities, Hulk will take on all of us. It won't end well, no matter what."

"So what are you suggesting then, agent?"

"Let us first investigate and find out if its him or not, he could be framed", Steve pointed out.

"There's literally footage of him running from the site!"

Wilson started. "It could be docto-"

"I analyzed the footage myself. It is not doctored. It is real."

"It can be a shape-shifter", Wilson pointed out what Natasha had said earlier. "We know they exist."

"Even then, Bruce is the prime suspect, we need to first take him in and question him while working under the SHRA. If he is not guilty, we will investigate further. What do you say, Cap?"

"Steve, listen to Tony, if we work with them and get it done, it will all be cleared up."

Steve looked ahead, the flame of decision in his eyes.

"I am not throwing Bruce OR Hulk under the bus unless we're totally sure."

"Well then, Cap, you've made your choice."

Steve shook his head. "Tony, it doesn't have to be this way."

After a brief pause, Tony said. "I think it does."

Steve realized what was going to happen now. "I'm sorry Tony, I wish it could have gone down differently."

"I'm sorry too, Cap."

"Sorry man, I thought we could convince them", Rhodes said to Tony.

"Well, we know what to do, pal", Tony's voice replied before the call was cut, Rhodes looking at the other three with a disappointed look.

"If we don't do this alongside them, we're just gonna make it even more troublesome for ourselves and others like us, not just Bruce", Rhodes tried to plead one last time.

"Look, I get it with him, he might be behaving like that because he and Pepper took a break, but what's up with you?" Wilson asked, looking disappointed in Rhodes himself. "Instantly believing the worst about someone who is your teammate? Like a brother during battle? Not to mention, Ross already said the SHRA is being fast-tracked, which means this started before he called us. Things are gonna get worse for everyone."

"And I'm going to stand with others like us, not against them, when it starts", Steve said passionately, as Rhodes looked at the three of them one last time, then sighed, walking off.

A few minutes later, they heard the sound of thrusters and looked outside to see War Machine flying off, leaving the Compound.

"Well", Natasha shrugged. "It's the three of us against the world again, huh?"

"Let's get ready", Steve told the other two, before walking off to prepare.

Asgard

Thor and Hercules walked into the throne room, looking at Odin, who asked. "Is there any matter you need my help with, my son?"

"I do, actually", Thor said with a raised eyebrow, walking closer towards him, until he was near the throne itself. "Its about you calling my friend Hercules here", Thor gestured towards the Greek God of Strength, "a buffoon."

Odin shook his head. "I sa-"

"Its not what you called him, its that you called him anything", Thor told Odin, who closed his mouth, Hercules grinning at the sight, while Thor threw Mjolnir up, then caught it on return. "I didn't expect you to be the name-calling type, father. You usually…just tell a person what they are."

"He is a buffoon!" Odin snarled at that point, Hercules narrowing his eyes, while Thor threw Mjolnir right next to Odin, then caught it on return, causing him to stand up.

"You dare to question your father?"

"Do you really want me to do this?"

"Do what?"

Thor spun around and threw Mjolnir outside, before walking behind Odin. "You know that nothing will stop Mjolnir as it returns to my hand."

Outside, Mjolnir stopped and started rocketing back inside.

"Not even your face."

Hearing that, the Einherjar in the room to pointed their spears outwards, ready to battle, but Hercules then looked at them all.

"Do you want to test your might against me?"

"You've gone quite mad!" Odin said in horror, Mjolnir reaching closer to him, and he was shaking, about to drop Gungnir. "You'll be executed for this!"

Thor whispered to him. "Then I'll see you on the other side, brother."

Mjolnir straightened while returning and Odin dropped Gungnir, jumping out of the way, a green light shimmering before, in Odin's place, Loki stood in the throne room, Thor finally catching Mjolnir.

"All right, I yield!"

The Einherjar all gasped in horror as Hercules smirked. "I knew it!"

"You?" Loki asked with a scoff, turning to the Greek God. "A buffoon like you?"

"And there it is again! Odin would never call me anything, he would just silence me with a look!"

Loki groaned, realizing he'd not thought of that while insulting Hercules, as Thor marched towards his brother. "Where's Odin?"

"You just can never stay away, can you?" Loki asked Thor, while backing off. "Asgard is prospering! Now you'll ruin everything!" He gestured to the Einherjar, who looked quite enraged. "Ask them!"

"Where's father?" Thor snarled. "Did you kill him?"

"I don't think this snake, even with all his tricks, could kill him", Hercules shrugged, causing Loki to glare at him again.

"You just had to ruin everything!"

"Where is Odin?"

Loki paused, then chuckled.

"Funny you should mention that."

Thor was about to press Mjolnir into Loki's chest, with Hercules also raising his Adamantine mace.

"The thing is….."

And then all of a sudden, a wormhole opened in the throne room, to the shock of everyone, and out of it fell a large figure, causing a shockwave that sent Loki and the Einherjar falling, while everything in the room shook, though Thor and Hercules retained their footing.

Slowly, Loki and the Einherjar started picking themselves up while the wormhole closed, the new figure also standing up, and everyone was shocked as they got a proper look at him.

He was dressed up almost exactly like Thor, and had the same hair, though no beard, plus a helmet on his head, and he even had Mjolnir in his very hand!

"Where am I?" The other Thor muttered, looking around, narrowing his eyes due to the place looking a lot like Asgard, when he suddenly saw the Thor of here, doing a double take on seeing him.

"Thor?"

"Aye", Thor nodded, looking Odinson up and down in shock and awe. "You're Thor too?"

"Aye."

"Great", Loki scoffed, picking himself up. "There's two of them now."

"Loki", Odinson snarled, giving Loki a disdainful look.

"Oh no, no, no. Whatever your Loki did, I'm not him, you can't take that anger out on me."

"But I can", Thor snarled, and threw Mjolnir. Before Loki could do anything, it slowed down near him, but struck his chest lightly, sending him falling to the ground, and was then pinned on top of him.

"Not this again!"

"It seems some things are similar in this Universe too", Odinson commented, looking down at Loki, as Thor and Hercules walked to either side of him.

"Aye, they truly are."

Few minutes later

In the dungeons, Loki was pushed into his cell, and steadied himself, before turning around, seeing the barrier was before him now, with Thor, Odinson, Hercules and Sif on the other side, all glaring at him.

"Well, this is unexpected", Loki commented, chuckling a little.

"This is no laughing matter!" Sif snapped, holding up her sword, but Loki continued to laugh, the rest sharing looks of dismay at that.

"It is a laughing matter!" Loki said, chuckling still, looking at Thor and Sif. "Neither of you, or any Asgardian for the matter, could tell that I replaced Odin, yet", he gestured to Hercules, "an outsider managed to realize the truth." He chuckled again.

"We will be coming to talk to you again soon", Thor said with a snarl, then turned around and walked off along with Odinson, Sif and Hercules.

Ulik noticed them leave and his eyes narrowed on seeing Odinson. "Your look-alike does not even resemble you fully and you dare to criticize my strategy?"

Earth-1

Child's Play 2 Theme plays

Chucky was in an old hideout of his, alongside Tiffany Valentine, this being the same place where he had stabbed the pregnant Sarah Pierce whom he'd abducted all those years ago, resulting in Nica Pierce being born paraplegic.

Chucky was stabbing a bunch of toys unenthusiastically. "Stab, stab, stab…"

Tiffany scoffed as she turned to look at him. "What is up with you, huh?"

"I'm fuckin' irritated, that's what's up with me, Tiff." Chucky grumbled. "All of my plans got ruined, it seems really. Nica's out of the loony bin, which means me possessing her body will be damn near impossible and then the soul splitting spell just isn't working for me, which really fucks up what I'm supposed to do at Hackensack."

"Do you really want to go back to Hackensack?" Tiffany inquired. "You know, after last time…"

Chucky groaned, knowing what Tiffany was talking about. When he was in Alice's body, he'd met this girl by the name of Lexy Cross, having managed to get into her house by fooling her mom into thinking that he was just an innocent little lost girl who needed shelter.

And then, at night, using Alice's body, he'd killed Lexy's mom, as well as her friends Jake and Devon, before attacking Lexy as well.

He'd taunted her, saying how he was the Queen Bitch of Hackensack, but that had caused something to come over Lexy, because instead of cowering, she'd then gotten right in his face.

The words she'd spoken to him still rang out in his mind all this time later.

"Listen up, honey, you may think you're all tough like that, but I haven't even broken a sweat. See, in the end, you might be a good runner-up after killing my friends and mom. But that's all you are, just the runner-up. I'm the Queen. You fuck with me, you get me mad, what do you think I'm gonna do to you?"

Hearing that, for once, Chucky had lost his nerve, and gone out of Lexy's house, before attempting to kill Andy, only for Andy to exorcise him out of Alice.

"Shut the fuck up!" Chucky yelled, embarrassed. "Either way… what am I gonna do?!"

"I have a suggestion."

The two spun around, finding Lucifer now standing in the room, his head tilted.

"Who the fuck are you?" Chucky asked, leaping up to his feet as he raised his knife. "Either way, you made your last mistake coming in here. So I'm gonna fuck you up badly!" Screaming, he leapt at Lucifer.

Lucifer closed his fist, and Chucky was blown into different pieces, with his arms, legs and head separated from the rest of his body, with the pieces now falling to the ground, the knife falling with a clatter as well.

"Jesus, what the fuck?!" Tiffany asked in horror.

"Not a good way to greet one of your biggest fans, Chucky Chuck."

As Chucky's head and Tiffany watched him in confusion, Lucifer explained. "I'm Lucifer." Seeing their looks, he smirked. "Yes, that Lucifer, in a manner of speaking."

"Holy shit! Really?!"

"Yes, and I want to cause the Apocalypse in more than one world."

"There are more?"

"Yes, and to cause it, we need many people to die, which is why I've come to you two…..for the second time."

"When was the first?" Tiffany asked him.

"I am the one who asked you to go to Star City", Lucifer revealed, to the shock of Chucky and Tiffany. "Yes, it was me, so you know I'm telling the truth, like I always do. So, will you join me?"

Tiffany looked a bit frightened, while Chucky was unsure, so he asked a question. "Can you give me my soul-splitting power back and help me kill Nica?"

"Don't you remember, I made sure all of your soul is one body of yours again", Lucifer reminded Chucky what he had done before. "Of course I can do all that."

Chucky grinned, realizing this was a good deal. "Ah, what the Hell, I need the exercise."

Lucifer grinned in satisfaction again, and held out his hand, with Chucky's pieces rejoining into one once more.

Middle-earth, Lothlórien

Next day, they all reached a high hill from which a large gathering of enormous trees could be seen.

"Caras Galadhon." Haldir smiled, "The heart of Elvendom on Middle-earth. Realm of the Lord Celeborn and Galadriel, Lady of Light."

Sora, Donald and Goofy shared looks, wondering if Haldir was being literal or figurative. Yet, the Lady of Light. Considering their upcoming struggle with darkness, the title sounded comforting.

They all trekked onwards into Caras Galadhon, their paths illuminated by glowing crystals. Spiraling, amazing staircases wound around the trees, leading to platforms and other things.

Soon, night fell and the wood was illuminated by blue and white light, creating an ethereal scene.

Haldir led them to a platform in front of a small flight of stairs and they stopped there to wait for something.

And then, two Elves descended the stairs, hand in hand. The light around them made it hard to discern their features but eventually, it faded and the two could be seen. They both appeared to be of almost equal height- 6 feet tall.

Lord Celeborn looked tall and regal, with blonde hair and a robe of silver and grey. But Lady Galadriel captured all of their attention. She too had long blonde hair and clear blue eyes. She had a long white dress that reached her ankles and a golden circlet around her head.

Just looking at her, Sora knew she was the voice he had heard. The light they radiated, it felt nearly divine.

"So these are the three who walked behind the Fellowship", Celeborn observed, unable to briefly hide his own flabbergasted expression on seeing Donald and Goofy, though he recovered quickly. "I believe there is much we need to speak of."

Galadriel looked at Sora, and when she spoke, her compassion was evident. "Do not consider Mithrandir's fall your failure, young one. The world has grown full of peril, and you have done a lot already…..for many of them."

Sora looked up, his eyes showing the guilt that he felt for failing to save Gandalf., while also realizing that Mithrandir was another name for Gandalf.

Lady Galadriel's gaze fell upon Donald, then Goofy.

Donald Duck. Goofy. You two have stood by his side from the beginning, and he will need the two of you by his side at the end.

They shared a look, then locked eyes with her, feeling uncomfortable yet comfortable at the same time, if that was possible. Donald gave a little nod first, followed by Goofy.

"What now becomes of them?" Celeborn inquired.

"They choose to help this world in spite of not being from it, without even knowing the darkness that threatens to take over all of Middle-earth", Lady Galadriel said, commending the Trio. "It is time we tell them what exactly it is they face while they are in this world."

She looked at the Trio, and said. "Like the Quest of the Fellowship, your own Quest stands upon the edge of a knife. Stray but a little and it will fail... ...to the ruin of all."

Then, gazing at all three one by one, she said. "Yet hope remains while you three hold true to each other. Tonight, we shall all dine together, and then, you will be told of what you face in Middle-earth."

Feeling disrespectful all of a sudden, Sora did a little bow, and then Donald and Goofy did the same.

"Thank you…uhhh…..Lady Galadriel."

Dream World

A man named Seerman Green, who was asleep in the real world in his mom's basement, was roaming around the Dream World, very confused.

"The fuck is this shit?" Green wondered, looking around, before the door opened, and a weird crawly creature appeared before him, slowly crawling towards him.

"Fuck!" Green muttered, the creature straightening to look at him. "You're so fucking disgusting that you should just hang yourself!"

The creature suddenly smoked in front of him, to his confusion, before blowing the smoke in his face, making him cough as he staggered back, briefly blinded.

When his vision returned, the creature was gone.

"Oh yeah, you really should die and rid us all of yourself!"

This is what Green did in real life too, as he was an Internet troll who got sick kicks from randomly telling people on the Internet to kill themselves, and anytime they called him out, he called those people fatherless (regardless of if their father was in their life or not), then told them to go to their deadbeat dad's cabin, take his shotgun, and put it in their mouth, ridding the world of their fatherless rhetoric, whatever that meant.

He walked after the creature, and found himself in a room with hanging bodies, and seeing those, he got a bit freaked out, as telling people to hang themselves was different from seeing hanging bodies.

Hearing something, he turned around to see the weird crawly coming at him again, and before he could react, it leapt at him. Green tried to hold it back, but it crawled into his mouth and down his throat, making him cough out blood.

Earth-1, Central City

Awakening in his mom's basement, Seerman Green walked towards the bedsheets nearby, and picking them up, made a loop out of them, before climbing on a chair and putting his neck in the loop.

Soon enough, the chair fell down, and a sickening crack was heard.

Dream World

A Nightmare on Elm Street theme plays

Freddy Krueger laughed sadistically, having enjoyed possessing and killing Green like that. "Made the fucker practice what he preached, HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

That was when he felt a presence behind him, and spun around to see Lucifer standing before him.

"Who the fuck are you?" Freddy asked in confusion. "And how are you here?"

"You really don't remember me? I'm your new best friend."

The Springwood Slasher thought about it for a moment, and then, realization dawned upon him as he grinned.

"You're the no-face guy who gave me so much more power!"

He started laughing maniacally. "Have to say, you look fucking nothing like I'd thought!"

Hearing that, Lucifer grabbed Freddy by the throat and slammed him into the wall of the boiler room, shattering it, and then, due to just Lucifer's touch, Freddy felt all the bones in his body break, causing him to scream in agony.

"My name is Lucifer, and yes, that one, in a manner of speaking", Lucifer revealed, and even Freddy was horrified for once. "I'm here with an offer- an Apocalypse around the various worlds of the Multiverse, to spite the Guy upstairs. And for that, you and many others can kill as many as you like in these worlds."

Hearing that, Freddy tilted his head, pondering on Lucifer's offer, and after five seconds, even with the pain coursing through his body, he grinned.

"You know… I was considering the possibility of terrorizing other worlds, even having discovered one myself… so you can consider me… game!"

Lucifer let Freddy go, with his bones now getting repaired instantly, and the Dream Master laughed sadistically, with Lucifer grinning.

Earth-199999, New York City, X-Mansion

Storm, Bobby, Rogue, Shadowcat, Colossus, Sunspot, Blink, Jubilee and Julian watched the news, dejected, as they saw the passing of the SHRA.

"With the Superhuman Registration Act having been passed, all vigilantes, not just Avengers, all vigilantes, are required to sign this document if they are to continue their activities, otherwise, they would be deemed a threat and arrested by the newly-formed SHRA taskforce. Even Enhanced and Mutants, regardless of if they are vigilantes or not, are required to sign, and if they don't, the SHRA taskforce or MRD would arrest them."

They saw live footage of the President and Ross shaking hands, with many other government representatives doing the same. Beast was nowhere to be seen, clearly having been outvoted on this issue earlier.

"What happens now…..to all of us?" Jubilee asked, gulping in fear.

"An act was passed sometime after Jean's death. It protects everyone here at the school", Storm revealed, to the surprise of Jubilee, Sunspot, Blink and Julian, as they'd joined the X-Men after all of this had happened. "After the attack at the school, and us visiting the President, we were owed that much."

"But the others, its not going to be good for them, is it?" Bobby inquired, though he already knew the answer.

"No, its not", Storm said sadly with a shake of her head, before turning to look at the X-Men. "I am saying this now- be careful whenever you go out of here. And if you see another Mutant in trouble-"

"We'll bring them here", Shadowcat assured Storm, the other X-Men looking determined to do the same, even Rogue, who was still recovering from the shock of having her powers back.

It had been so long since the X-Men had been a thing, and all of these members, other than Colossus, they'd been scared little kids trying to just find somewhere to belong.

Now, they were ready to do the same for others who were in trouble, even more than they had been back in the day.

She couldn't be any prouder.

Daredevil was about to leap from one rooftop to another, when he heard guns cocking from a distance, and froze.

"Put your hands up behind your back, and get on your knees, NOW!" A SHRA taskforce agent called out, Daredevil doing just that.

But as the agent came closer, about to cuff him, Daredevil suddenly pushed his head back, striking the agent and dazing him, and before the others could react, Daredevil spun the agent around, holding him in a tight grip, the other agents unable to aim at Daredevil properly because of the agent in the way.

Daredevil backed towards the edge of the roof, a helicopter appearing in the sky too, the light aimed right at him.

"Let him go and come with us."

Seeing an agent on the helicopter taking aim as well, Matt pushed the agent he'd grabbed away to the center of the roof and leapt away into the dark alley.

When light shone down on the alley, Daredevil was gone.

"You need to go!" Bill Foster said to Ava Starr aka Ghost, who was in her suit, looking pained as she stood next to a wall. "They know about you, I don't know how, but they do, and they're coming!"

"But I can't leave you!" Ava protested, not wanting to abandon the man who had cared for her for so long.

"We've no choice, I'll be fine, you need to go." She'd suffered enough already; he couldn't see her suffer even more.

Ava looked stricken, tears streaming down her cheeks. "I'll come back for you."

"Please don't. Now go!"

She phased away through the wall, while there was a knock on the door.

"SHRA taskforce, open up, Dr. Foster!"

Walking to the door, Bill opened the door up, seeing the taskforce agents on the other side. "Dr. Foster, where is Ava Starr?"

"I have no idea", Bill lied.

"We've a warrant." They walked past him, searching the entire house, but did not find her.

"She is not here", one agent said.

"Told you, I've no idea", Bill shrugged.

"Bill Foster, you are under arrest for aiding and abetting an Enhanced."

Bill put his hands behind his back on his head, and got on his knees, as the agents cuffed him.

A red-haired woman was walking away discreetly from a bar, but as she reached outside, MRD agents aimed guns at her.

"We know what you are! Get on your knees and come with us!"

"But officer, I am not-"

"HANDS UP!"

The woman raised her hands, but, to the shock of some onlookers, translucent, dragon-fly-like wings sprouted from her back, with some sort of dust being produced.

When the agents were struck by the dust, one of them suddenly looked up randomly at something and fired into the empty sky, the people running away, while another dropped his gun and fell down, crawling back in terror, with one more shaking on the spot.

One sniper aiming at the woman fired.

She was struck by a dart on the neck, and fell down, unconscious, her wings closing, as two more agents arrived and picked her up, taking her away.

Harlem

At Pop's barber shop, Luke and Pop exchanged a look while watching the TV which showed what was going on all over the country with anyone who'd superpowers.

"This has gone from bad to worse", Pop said to Luke, who nodded in agreement.

"Sweet Christmas."

Hell's Kitchen

"Jessica Jones, you're under arrest for murder of a man!" An agent said as they all aimed at Jessica, with Malcolm and Trish watching in utter shock.

"Hey, she was acquitted for that!" Malcolm cried out, but was silenced when the gun got aimed at him.

"Not by us."

"But you can't just take her like this because she didn't sign!" Trish snapped, walking up to them. "She does not use her abilities to fight either."

"She is a PI!"

"Which my abilities do not add to, dumbass", Jessica snarked with an eyeroll, but the guns were still aimed at her.

"You are also a drunk who can easily be a threat to people."

"You know what? Get off!" Trish snarled, getting into one agent's face and even pushing him back, only for another to shove her into Malcolm as both fell down.

Jessica almost attacked that one, but for once, thought rationally, and stopped herself. If she picked a fight here, things would get worse, not just for her but also Trish and Malcolm, who were not going to let her go without a fight.

She couldn't see them get hurt.

"I'll come with you", Jessica finally said, to the horror of Trish and Malcom.

"Jess….." Trish began, as Jessica put her hands behind her head and got down on her knees, one agent cuffing her with specialized cuffs. "Jess…..no…."

"Look, I don't give a shit about me but….." Jessica looked between Trish and Malcolm, her face showing emotion, which made it clear who she did give a shit about.

She stood up, and was led away, as she said to Trish. "Take care of yourself, Trish. I'll be back." And then she said to Malcolm. "Take care of this place, otherwise…"

Malcolm nodded. "Yes ma'am."

"Cut out that bullshit."

"Jess!" Trish cried out one last time as Jessica was led away. "This isn't over! I'm going to make sure the government is exposed for all this!" Tears started streaming down her face as she fell to her knees, crying, Malcolm hugging her, controlling his own emotions.

Agents entered a base, aiming their guns around, when suddenly, one of them was whacked in the head from behind, being knocked out, and as the others turned around, Blade swiftly spin-kicked two out, then struck one multiple times at different points of the body, knocking him out, and leaping, kicked another one, knocking him out as well.

"Don't fuck with me."

As the last one put his gun to Blade's head, Blade suddenly spun around in a whirl of movement, brandishing the Darksaber, cutting apart the agent's gun into two, and he dropped it in horror, while Blade gave him a look, the agent just staring at the Darksaber with a gulp.

"Like I said- don't fuck with me."

With that, he walked past the agent, who lost consciousness of his own accord at that point.

"Scott, are you sure you don't wanna come with us?" Hank asked Scott, he and Hope both ready to leave.

"I am sure. I already talked to Natasha, she got Cassie, Maggie, Jim, Luis, Dave and Kurt out already, and they're in a safehouse right now with the best facilities provided to them. Outside of that, I'd say very few know who I am, and they won't rat me out", Scott assured Hank and Hope.

"War Machine does", Hank pointed out grimly. "He'll tell that Stark, who'll tell his corrupt government buddies."

Scott sighed, seeing Hank's point, but assured them. "I'll be fine. I've a plan…..I think."

"You made a plan?" Hope asked jokingly as he chuckled.

"Well….I guess I'll ask the man with the plan", Scott finally said before holding hands with Hope.

"Be careful", she said to him.

"You too. If you need anything, just…" Scott did a ringing motion with his hand, Hope smiling.

"You can do the same."

They shared a kiss, before Hope walked next to Hank, who shared a nod with Scott, and they walked off, not wanting to deal with the government when they inevitably came knocking.

Baxter Building

"So, what do you say?" Ross asked Reed, Susan, Johnny and Ben, with men standing behind him at attention, not aiming their weapons but still holding them.

Johnny started. "Now listen up as-"

"Johnny!" Susan grasped his arm tightly to prevent him from speaking anymore.

"Ouch!" Sue gave him a look and shook her head, indirectly telling him not to make things any worse than they already were.

"One second, Secretary", Reed said, Ross nodding, with the scientist huddling around with his three friends.

"I say we don't sign and tell them exactly what we think!" Ben snarled, though he kept his voice low for good reason.

"Look, I agree with you about the SHRA, I know none of us approve of them", Reed cautioned. "But there is not much we can do."

Johnny started. "But-"

"If we don't sign, they will come after us in full-force", Susan pointed out to her brother and Ben both, keeping her voice really low. "Let us agree to their terms, without actually following any of it secretly, so we can help people."

"Captain America did not sign the SHRA. We shouldn't either, let's take a stand!" Ben urged.

"We are not Captain America. He is a symbol for what this country is supposed to be", Reed pointed out. "If he signs, then even if he is discreetly trying to undermine them, the public will only think Captain America sold out and became a fascist. He has to take a stand publicly, whether he likes it or not."

"But we can't." Susan shook her head guiltily. "So please, let's not pick a fight publicly, we cannot win."

"But Cap can?" Johnny asked, sounding serious.

"He can, and we trust him to", Reed assured his three friends, rubbing his head. "He has a responsibility upon his head that I wish I never have, because I cannot handle it."

Ben sighed, not looking okay with this, but reluctantly gave a nod, and Johnny finally did too, with a scoff.

And then, Reed turned back to Ross. "Secretary, let us talk."

Ross smirked, feeling satisfied.

A mother was walking with her little boy, who was unnaturally pale, with people pointing at him, the boy looking afraid, while the mother held him close, the two reaching a store.

Only, MRD agents arrived, aiming at the boy. "Get down on your knees!"

"He is a kid!" The mom cried out in horror, holding him close.

"Ma'am, get away from the suspect."

"He is just sick."

"We've reason to believe he can infect people near him."

"I'm just fine, and I live with him!"

The boy was crying already, hugging his mother. "Mom, don't let them take me away."

"Ma'am, step away."

"NO!"

People were recording with their phones by now, and as the agents moved forth, they were suddenly struck from behind by something simultaneously, and all fell down, groaning in pain and dropping their guns.

Spikes were protruding from non-lethal spots in their bodies now. Everyone turned to see a muscular black man, his body covered in what looked bone spikes protruding from his entire body.

He walked towards the mom and her son, kneeling near them, looking at the two gently. "Come with me."

"To…where?" The mom asked.

"Somewhere you'll both be safe from these people", the man assured them, standing up and holding out his hand. The mother looked at him hesitantly, then grasped his hand, the Mutant helping her up, as he led the mother and her Mutant son away into a dark alley.

X-Mansion

Storm was watching the news on TV with an enraged expression when Iceman walked up to her. "Storm, I think you're gonna wanna see this."

"What is it?" Storm asked, turning to Iceman, who handed her his phone, and she saw an Instagram video of the mother and her Mutant son being cornered by agents.

The sight made her clutch her fists in rage, but then she saw they were all hit by spike bones, which made her eyes widen, as her heart dropped.

"No…"

And then, to her horror, the black man with bony protrusions all over his body walked to the mother and son, kneeling near them, before leading them away.

She looked up at Iceman, her face seeming to be a mix of pride and concern.

"What do we do?" Iceman inquired.

Ororo sighed, handing him his phone back. "I'll deal with this. Thank you for letting me know, Bobby."

Krakoa

Magneto sat on a throne of steel, watching footage of the spiked Mutant saving the little child and his mother, with other Mutants nearby watching in dread too.

Sage even looked stricken at the scene, when the TV monitor was suddenly crushed, Magneto looking at it in utter rage.

Haiti

Jericho Drumm pulled up his hood as agents ran by him, quickly cuffing a Mutant nearby who'd spots all over his body with specialized cuffs.

Jericho looked at the sight sadly but knew he couldn't do anything without being targeted himself as of now.

Bucky Barnes watched from a distance as two people, with collars on their necks, were thrown into the back of a truck after having been tased, the prisoners being at the mercy of their captors.

Just like he used to be.

He angrily clutched his gloved metal fist.

United Kingdom

Captain Britain watched the ongoings in the USA, a bespeckled man on an office chair watching with him, both of their faces very grim.

Madripoor

A man walked out of a shower in the darkened room, seeing what was going on in America on the TV that was showing the news, including footage of the spiked-bony Mutant saving the Mutant kid and her mom from the agents.

He clenched his fist angrily, and Adamantium claws emerged from his knuckles as he let out a growl.

The Playground

"I don't think this is a good idea", Daisy protested, looking at Coulson, Melinda, Mack, Hunter, and the sitting Bobbi behind.

"There is no other choice", Coulson told her sadly as he shook his head, grasping her hands while she grasped his. "They're coming after everyone with powers. Enhanced, Mutants, Inhumans, you name it. And I will not be able to protect you this time."

"I don't need it", Daisy tried to tell him. "Besides, aren't we still technically secret mostly?"

"We know you don't need protection, and yes, we're not legitimized yet, but you being here will put the entire team at risk, and they can find out about our activities easily", Melinda pointed out sadly. "And they'll arrest all of us if they find you here."

"Meaning all of us are bloody damned", Hunter sighed.

Daisy looked down sadly, then hugged Coulson, who hugged her back.

"Stay safe."

"You too."

She looked at Melinda, then hugged her too, catching her off-guard, but Melinda awkwardly returned the hug, before the two parted, and Daisy shared nods with the other three.

"I know one place where I can hide", Daisy told Coulson, before turning around and walking away.

Coulson looked at the rest. "We'll still continue to do what we do, but make sure we don't get on anyone's radar at all from now on. Talbot will try to look the other way, the others won't."

The rest nodded in agreement, before they got to work.

Cincinnati, Ohio

Lincoln Campbell walked out of the hospital, taking off his lab coat, when he saw agents running right at him.

Seeing them, Lincoln bolted the other way, as one cried out. "STOP!"

"Stop or we will shoot!"

Lincoln continued to run, the agents chasing him, before Lincoln found himself before a lake, and realizing there was nowhere to run, he turned around, seeing the agents, who kept their guns aimed at him, while he raised his hands.

"Down on your knees!"

Only, they were suddenly hit by blasts of water from behind, which sent them flying off through the air, and they passed by Lincoln before falling into the water.

Lincoln's eyes widened on seeing a purple-skinned woman with pointed ears and what looked like gills lowering her hand.

Hearing screams, Lincoln spun around to see a being with green, scaly skin, and a fin, holding up an agent by the throat, before slamming him back into the water.

Lincoln spun around to see the woman was gone, and when he turned back, the agents were lying motionless in the lake, with the scaly finned guy gone too.

New York City, Avengers Compound

Steve, Natasha and Wilson watched the news sadly, Natasha snarling. "They said they fast-tracked it because of Bruce, but they went after all these people who did nothing first."

Steve sighed and shook his head.

"This is how freedom ends, with fear."

Jessica sat inside her cell in a secret prison called 'The Raft', finding her room quite small, with just a bed for her, and a glass cell, not to mention the specialized collar around her neck. Plus, they'd taken a blood sample of her earlier too.

"Geez, and here I thought Kilgrave was the biggest monster", Jessica scoffed angrily, as a guard passed by her cell. "But our government never disappoints in being a piece of shit!"

Earth-1, Iron Heights Prison

Lucifer was casually strolling through the prison hall, whistling a tune, covered in blood, having killed some guards when he'd arrived here effortlessly.

It was time to meet the last of the minions that he'd gotten for himself, and this one was quite special, for various reasons.

He continued walking, some prisoners giving him strange looks, or angrily banging the bars of their cells for whatever reason, but Lucifer paid them no mind.

Lucifer came closer to his destination, and closer, before stopping all of a sudden.

Then, he turned his head left, seeing a man with a blank expression, staring into space emotionlessly.

"Oh, Mikey, Mikey, Mikey!" Lucifer mused as Michael Myers turned to stare at him. "Now you have always been my favorite. I mean, you are quite the legend! That was why I chose you as the first one."

Michael tilted his head, not getting what Lucifer was trying to say, or who he even was.

"Ah, right, well, my name is Lucifer, I want to cause an Apocalypse across multiple worlds, and I need people who can kill as much as possible. So, I know you're one of the people to go to", Lucifer said to Michael Myers. "Also, I was the one who sent you that vision of Steven Lloyd."

That caused Michael to stand up, and he walked forwards, until he was just inches from the bars of his cell.

Lucifer decided to sweeten the deal.

"Do this for me… and I can help you kill Steven Lloyd for good."

The two continued to stare at each other intensely for a few seconds.

And then, Michael nodded.

Smirking, Lucifer snapped his fingers, the gates to the cell being blown apart.

Michael Myers was free!

Then, Lucifer held out a certain mask, Michael looking down at it.

"Here is what truly defines you."

Halloween theme song plays

Holding out his hand, Michael took his mask from Lucifer, and put it around his face, The Shape now ready to kill again.

Together, the two began walking back down the hallway from where Lucifer had come, the prisoners now scared due to seeing who was walking with Lucifer (and if they knew who he was, they'd have been afraid of him too).

Some guards stepped in the way, aiming their guns at the two.

"Freeze!"

"Don't move!"

"Well", Lucifer smirked at Michael. "Show me the reason why I came to you first."

Michael marched towards the guards, who fired at him, The Shape completely unaffected. Then, getting closer, he punched one cop, breaking his nose and throwing him off.

Then, he punched the other one, to the same result.

One more raised his gun again but Michael grabbed him and slammed his head on the wall repeatedly, and then let his dead body slide down to the floor, leaving a trail of blood on the wall.

A female cop entered and fired but Michael had picked up one of the cops whose nose he had broken and the bullet hit him, killing him.

Before she could react, Michael grabbed the gun and pressed it tightly to her throat, slowly choking her to death.

He then tilted his head to a side, inspecting his work, before Lucifer walked up to him.

"You continue to impress, Michael, unlike my brother with the same name. You truly are evil."

And with that, the two walked away from Iron Heights Prison, Lucifer having recruited all of his minions for his Apocalypse.

Middle-earth, Lothlórien

The Trio had just finished eating the dinner that had been brought for them, and it felt nearly like a feast, which, to be honest, they needed considering all the running around they'd been in doing since dropping into Middle-earth.

And it tasted really good too. Right now, they were all seated around a circular table, with Lady Galadriel and Lord Celeborn at the head of it.

Once they were finally finished, Celeborn noted. "I believe you want answers about what you will face here."

"Yes please", Sora said, only to be elbowed by Donald.

"Ow, what?"

"He is a Lord, address him respectfully, Sora", Donald pointed out to Sora.

"Right, sorry, Lord Celeborn."

Celeborn just chuckled at the antics, accepting the politeness with a nod, as Lady Galadriel began to speak, her voice nearly slipping into a monotone.

"The world is changed: I feel it in the water, I feel it in the earth, I smell it in the air...Much that once was is lost, for none now live who remember it."

Instantly, the Trio found themselves mesmerized by her voice itself, as if drawn into the tale.

"It began with the forging of the Great Rings." After a slight pause, she continued. "Three were given to the Elves, immortal, wisest...fairest of all beings." And then, she added. "Seven to the Dwarf Lords, great miners and craftsmen of the mountain halls." Finally, she said. "And Nine...nine rings were gifted to the race of Men who, above all else, desire power."

The Trio exchanged looks, realizing they were all following this story about Rings so far.

"For within these Rings was bound the strength and will to govern each race. But they were all of them deceived, for another Ring was made."

The atmosphere seemed to get darker simply from how Galadriel was speaking.

"In the land of Mordor, in the fires of Mount Doom, the Dark Lord Sauron forged in secret a master Ring, to control all others. And into this Ring, he poured his cruelty, his malice and his will to dominate all life."

She then spoke a phrase that sent chills through them all- ""One Ring to rule them all.""

And then there was the mention of Sauron, the very name made Sora think of some great and unending darkness from which there was no way out.

"When Sauron put on the One Ring, the Elves took theirs off quickly on sensing his treachery, and hid them. The Dwarves were too stubborn to fall to Sauron, but the Men were not. They became the Nine Nazgûl, neither living nor dead, feeling the presence of the One Ring at all times, drawn to its power."

Sora, Donald and Goofy were chilled on hearing of them.

"One by one, the free lands of Middle-Earth fell to the power of the Ring." Then hope entered her voice. "But there were some, who resisted. A last alliance of Men and Elves marched against the armies of Mordor. And on the slopes of Mount Doom they fought for the freedom of Middle-earth."

"So that's what this world is called", Donald realized.

"This part of the world is", Lady Galadriel confirmed.

"What happened after that, Lady Galadriel?" Goofy asked curiously, Sora simply staring ahead, absorbing all he was hearing.

"The son of King Elendil of the Men, Prince Anárion, was slain." Grief entered her voice. "And then, when victory was near, the Dark Lord himself came to battle, fighting Elf-Lord Gil-galad and King Elendil. Both of them were slain, but in this moment, when all hope had faded, Elendil's son Prince Isildur took up his father's broken sword Narsil, and cut off the finger in which Sauron wore the One Ring."

The Trio's eyes were wide, and finally, Sora spoke. "So….shouldn't that have ended Sauron?"

"At the time, Sauron, the enemy of the Free Peoples of Men, was defeated, and the Ring passed to Isildur, who'd this one chance to destroy evil forever." Lady Galadriel's tone grew dark. "But his heart was corrupted. The One Ring was not destroyed by him."

"So, do you mean to say he can't truly be gone without this One Ring being destroyed?" Sora finally inquired.

"No, as long as the One Ring is not unmade, the spirit of Sauron will endure", Celeborn confirmed.

"Then why hasn't that been done already?" Goofy asked innocently.

"Because the Ring can only be destroyed where it was forged, in the fires of Mount Doom", Celeborn revealed why they hadn't destroyed it already.

"The Ring of Power has a will of its own too", Lady Galadriel added. "After the battle, Isildur's column of Men was attacked by Orcs. The Ring abandoned Isildur to his death, as he was slain, while the Ring was lost for a long time. History became legend. Legend became myth. And for two and a half thousand years the Ring passed out of all knowledge. Until, when chance came, it ensnared a new bearer!"

"Who was that?" Donald asked.

"The Ring came to the creature Gollum, who took it deep into the tunnels of the Misty Mountains. And there, it consumed him."

"Consumed?" Sora wondered. "In its darkness?"

"The Ring brought to Gollum unnatural long life. For five hundred years it poisoned his mind. And in the gloom of Gollum's cave...It waited."

The Trio realized it was waiting for the right time, and they felt bad for Gollum too, being poisoned and consumed by this evil Ring for 500 years, all alone in dark caves!

"Darkness crept back into the forests of the world. Rumor grew of a Shadow in the East...whispers of a nameless fear. And the Ring of Power perceived...its time had now come. It abandoned Gollum." Then, a smile appeared on Lady Galadriel's face, looking to the Trio like the most beautiful thing they'd ever seen.

"But something happened then the Ring did not intend...It was picked up by the most unlikely creature imaginable…."

As the Trio waited in suspense, she revealed who.

"A Hobbit...Bilbo Baggins of the Shire."

"What's a Hobbit?" Donald asked.

"They are small in stature, would appear children to the eyes of others", Celeborn explained. "And they wear no shoes for their soles are hard."

"Huh? Guess they don't practice shoemaking then", Sora joked a little, before getting serious again.

"Sauron had returned then, in the Fortress of Dol Guldur, but Mithrandir, I, Lord Elrond of Rivendell, and Saruman the White, another one of the same order as Mithrandir, drove him out. He has now returned to Mordor and prepares for his war against Middle-earth."

"And what of the One Ring?" Goofy then inquired.

"It passed to his nephew, Frodo Baggins. And then, Nine set out of Rivendell. The Fellowship of the Ring. Led by Mithrandir, whom you know as Gandalf. And the others in the Fellowship are- Aragorn, a Ranger from the North with a destiny he must accept, the Elf-Prince Legolas of the Woodland Realm, the Dwarf Gimli of the Lonely Mountain, Boromir the Son of the Steward of Gondor, and the most crucial members of the Fellowship- four Hobbits. Merry and Pippin, cousins of Frodo, his gardener Samwise Gamgee, and Frodo himself- the Ringbearer. For the time has come when Hobbits will shape the fortunes of all. But their path is not easy, for Saruman the White has betrayed us all."

"What a coward!" Donald snarled angrily.

"Now its just eight in the Fellowship", Sora said sadly. "And they're gone from here, aren't they?"

Galadriel nodded. "Indeed, and soon, you shall go after them, to play your own part in defeating the darkness of Sauron." She smiled. "But tonight, you shall rest."

Earth-1, Star City

Batman stood on a rooftop, and with him were Green Arrow, Flash, White Canary, Vixen and Carrie White, with Static Shock hovering nearby on his saucer.

"These crimes were committed by law-abiding citizens", Barry Allen started, while footage of the woman running over people was played by Batman on a miniaturized computer on the arm of his suit.

"They all claim to have seen nightmarish visions beforehand", Oliver added.

"Any idea what's causing it?" Virgil asked.

"No idea." Oliver replied.

Virgil sighed.

"The one week my gang of baddies took a vacay, and it couldn't be some hairy ass monster?"

"It seems to be happening all over the world", Carrie continued, as Bruce showed a map of the globe. "So there has to be much more to this. Like….something unnatural."

"Are you talking about magic?" Bruce asked.

"We've gone up against magic before, Batman", Barry pointed out. "Or at least some of you have."

"There was Chucky", Oliver noted.

"And I'd Freddy", Bruce reminded the rest of them. "Which you helped me with."

"Plus, we met a literal Wizard", Sara reminded them of Gandalf, Carrie nodding.

"Even our friends like John Constantine have magic based powers", Oliver added. "So, for everything we've seen over the years, I think we can't rule out magic here, especially since it was all over the world."

"Yes, even this Anansi Totem of mine is magic", Mari added, gesturing to it.

"I agree with your points, but the criminally insane don't need magic as an excuse." Bruce muttered as he looked ahead, at the city. "I recommend that maybe you should spend more time on the streets, rather than running around or flying over them, when we're not working together for the bigger stuff."

Everyone else (other than the teenage Static Shock) had been told of Batman's little initiative recently, and found the idea a good one, as being a team of proper superheroes to fight crime and other threats would be for the best.

Still, he wasn't the easiest guy to work with, clearly.

"Huh, he's even friendlier than they say", Virgil whispered to Barry regarding Batman, Barry shrugging.

"That is what we've been doing for a long time", Oliver pointed out, gesturing to Sara and himself, then Carrie. "Her too."

That was when Barry's comms rang out, and he put a finger to it. "Yeah, what's the situation, guys?"

"Michael Myers was just broken out of Iron Heights!" Caitlin's horrified voice spoke from the other end, Barry's face dropping at that.

"What?"

"What's the matter?" Oliver asked Barry.

"Michael Myers was broken out of Iron Heights", Barry told the rest, horrifying them.

"If you got a computer near you, we can show you the footage", Cisco's voice added.

"Batman", Barry called out, Bruce turning to him. "My team wants to show us footage on the computer."

"Connecting from my end", Bruce shrugged, as he typed some commands into it, and soon enough, it was connected to the STAR Labs computer.

They saw a blonde, blood-covered man standing before Michael Myers' cell, and then, he closed his fist, causing the door to explode, after which he gave Myers his mask, and Michael wore it, the two walking out, with Michael slaughtering some guards on the way out.

The Heroes of Earth-1 watched in horror, Oliver saying. "Well, this guy seems like bad news."

"Where do you think they went?" Sara asked no one in particular, when Carrie suddenly grasped her head with a gasp.

"What's the matter?" Barry asked her in concern, before she straightened herself, shaking and rubbing her head.

"I sense a very powerful presence", Carrie told the rest of them. "And…" she closed her eyes briefly before opening them, "its right near Central City!"

Barry and Virgil both looked horrified, as Virgil said. "Come on, we need to go!"

"Right you are", Oliver agreed, turning to look at the rest of the group. "Let's find Michael and this guy, wherever they're near Central City, and take them all down!"

"That guy looks like he packs a punch", Mari said about the blonde one.

"Not wrong", Bruce noted. "We don't know what he is capable of, but….." he turned to Carrie. "Perhaps you could hold him back."

"I'll do my best", Carrie said with a nod.

"And I can take him down while you do", Barry added, the rest seeming to agree to that, as the Heroes started making their way towards Central City.

Middle-earth, Lothlórien

That night, the Trio slept on a ground under a tent and some very large roots.

But Sora's eyes suddenly flung open as he wondered what had awoken him. The other two still lay asleep as Goofy snored.

He then saw a pair of delicate, beautiful feet passing him and lifted himself up. The feet belonged to Lady Galadriel who walked between his slumbering companions. But unlike him, they didn't wake up.

For some reason, he started walking after her cautiously, away from his friends. She eventually led him to a clearing where water flowed into a depression in the rocks from a spring. A silver basin sat on a stand of stone in the middle.

Lady Galadriel picked up a stone pitcher and dipped it into the water of the depression. She then walked towards the basin and asked. "Will you look into the Mirror?"

"What will I see?" Sora asked her curiously.

"Even the wisest cannot tell. For the mirror...shows many things." Galadriel said as she started pouring water from the pitcher into it, not taking her eye off Sora. "Things that were...things that are...

Sora's eyes lifted from the pitcher to her face as she finished pouring the water and slowly stepped back, "…..and some things...that have not yet come to pass."

"Right." Sora walked towards the Mirror and peered into it.

At first, there was nothing except his reflection but the water turned black with a series of ripples from the center and soon, the image changed.

A beautiful place filled with pristine fields and meadows was shown. Little people, clearly the Hobbits, were walking around, leading normal lives.

And then the next image was of the Shire burning as creatures as disgusting as the Goblins of Moria slaughtered the Hobbits. He saw dead bodies of the Fellowship, including the Hobbits, and that Man from before, Aragorn!

Sora wiped the sweat off his brow as the Hobbits were chained up and led away by the Orcs. One of them was whipped hard. The entire place was in ruins. Then he saw black flying creatures that resembled dragons and on their backs were riders cloaked in black. They were Nine in number. Sora realized these were the Nazgûl!

Seeing them gave Sora the creeps due to the darkness he could feel from them as image changed to a huge orange cat's eye wreathed in flame that seemed to be glaring right at him.

The Eye of Sauron!

Sora felt his heart jump to his chest at the sight, the darkness seeming to pierce into him.

Unfortunately for him, this was not the end as then he saw a tall and powerful being in some sort of dark armor, wearing a hood at the top, sickly yellow eyes gleaming as red lightning and darkness tore through the world, piercing a veil of divine light.

After that, Sora saw the Keyblade Graveyard covered in darkness, and then Olympus Coliseum darkening, with Hercules, Phil, Meg and Pegasus looking up in horror. He saw the same thing happen to Agrabah, then Land of Dragons, followed by Beast's Castle. Many more worlds were covered in darkness, including the worlds of Dawn and her friends, Ahsoka, Conner and Clark, Alice, Ciri, Spider-Man, Atreus, Goku, Naruto, Aang, Ben, Percy and Harry.

After that, Twilight Town was consumed too, followed by Disney Castle and the surrounding Disney Town, after which Radiant Garden came next, with Squall, Cid, Yuffie, and Radiant Garden's Cloud, Tifa and Aerith all lying on the ground, alongside Merlin.

Then, his heart dropped as Destiny Islands met the same fate.

And on the ground of the Keyblade Graveyard lay Riku, Kairi, Donald, Goofy, Mickey, Lea, Terra, Aqua, Ventus, Roxas, Naminé, Xion, Earth-7's Cloud, Tifa, Aerith, Yuffie, Barret, Red XIII, Cid, and two others he did not recognize, alongside Atreus and a pale man with red marks around his body, and a white-haired man in a red trench coat, someone who seemed like Spider-Man but older, and many more, including a man dressed like a bat and many robots and- himself!

On top, Master Xehanort was seen with a smirk, holding the finished χ-blade, and in the air, the One-Winged Angel Sephiroth was hovering, and he looked different both Sephiroths that Sora had fought, yet even more terrifying.

A one-eyed old man stood with Master Xehanort, while another towering being with glowing eyes of purple and glowing symbol on his chest, was behind them all.

Kingdom Hearts shone down from above.

The Mirror then went black again as ripples formed in it and he saw his own reflection again.

He staggered back, gasping and sweating at the images.

"I know what it is you saw." Galadriel spoke in a neutral tone as she had her neutral gaze fixed upon Sora. "For it is also in my mind."

"What were the images?" Sora exploded, still horrified by them.

"They were of events that can or will come to pass if you should fail." Galadriel said, still sounding neutral, though what she had seen of all that Sora had faced and would face had her astounded.

The One-Winged Man especially seemed to be a greater threat than even Sauron, as well as the towering being with purple glowing eyes.

"So, that's the future?" Sora inquired, looking scared for the first time. "Is that really going to happen?"

"Only if you fail, and considering you have not failed so far, I do not think you will fail this time, Sora", Galadriel assured him gently.

"But I did fail", Sora said sadly as he looked down, rubbing his head. "Even before Gandalf, I failed in the Mark of Mastery exam. Riku had to save me."

"You are happy Riku succeeded though, are you not?" Galadriel inquired of him.

"I am…I just thought I wasn't sad about failing myself", Sora sighed, shaking his head. "But I should not be sad, should I?" He gave her a smile that looked quite fake. "I need to be optimistic and smiling, to show the others I am not afraid."

"Being sad or afraid does not make you weak, Sora", Galadriel assured the boy, walking close to him as she stroked his cheek lovingly. "I know you believe you should be the face of boundless hope and joy, to take in the woes and misery of others around you, but that does not mean your own despair should be forgotten."

"But then the rest would be burdened by me!" Sora said, tears in his eyes, looking guilty that he'd even consider sharing his own problems.

"They would not, for they are your friends, Sora", Galadriel assured him, wiping his tears. "They are your power, and you are theirs too. Your despair matters as much anyone else's, and if you keep it inside, it will destroy you one day."

Wiping some of his tears, Sora finally confessed. "I….I am afraid. Afraid that I will lose one day, and fail my friends, let the darkness take over. I am afraid of losing them all. I do not feel as hopeful as I show to the rest."

"And none of that makes you a vessel for darkness, Sora. Or your failures, for the matter", Galadriel said, smiling at him. "Everyone fails sometimes, even the greatest of us can fall." Her mind went to Fëanor. "Failures do not define you, Sora. And neither does your despair. Your greatest power is your hope, but if you keep your own despair buried inside, it will eat your hope as well. And having darkness does not make you evil. Riku can wield the darkness for good, and you can win over it as well."

Sora realized what she was saying, and understanding it, nodded. "I guess…I never had someone like you to talk to ever. An ancient wise Elf-lady."

"I learnt things from you too, Sora", Galadriel said with a smile, and gave him an embrace. "You need not be alone." She kissed his forehead, and then backed away.

"I will follow your advice, Lady Galadriel." Sora said sincerely, sensing this audience was coming to an end.

"You shall depart Caras Galadhon soon." Lady Galadriel told him, "Many trials await you and your friends, Sora, in this world and beyond. Go back and rest now so that you have the strength to face them all."

Sora gave her a firm nod and bowed this time, before leaving.

He vowed to himself to not let any of the futures he saw come to pass. He walked back to the pavilion and lay on the floor. This time sleep came to him. Perhaps because of Galadriel's assurances.

And Sora slept soundly.

Earth-1

The League of Heroes was close to Central City now, Carrie grasping her head. "He is very close."

"How close?" Bruce inquired.

"Ah, the Superfriends of this world… I gotta say, you don't strike me much as super."

The League turned around to face Lucifer standing before them, his usual grin on his face, still covered in some blood, while he tilted his head, inspecting all of them with his gaze.

"Who the hell are you?" Sara asked him with a growl, causing Lucifer to laugh maniacally, sending chills down most of their spines.

"You just said the key word." Lucifer pointed at her. "Hell."

Then, doing a mock bow, he said. "I am Lucifer, and it is, well, I won't say pleasure exactly, to meet you all."

The eyes of the League widened in horror, Virgil asking. "Lucifer…as in the Devil?"

"Well, it is a touchy subject", Lucifer said with a shrug. "But with how wicked they say I am; I might as well be."

The League was just rooted to the spot, some of them even scared now, due to the fact that they were seemingly facing the Devil himself.

"What…..what do we do?" Carrie of all people, who'd faced many great evils over the years, asked no one in particular.

Because none of the evils she'd fought were the Devil! From the great power and evil she felt from within him, she was inclined to believe that he truly was the Devil.

But, Oliver's expression showed determination, as he gestured at Lucifer with his bow. "It doesn't matter if you actually are the Devil, or you say you are, because we're going to fight you….and take you down!"

Lucifer started laughing maniacally at that, his eyes going read, as Oliver cried out. "Take him!"

With that, Barry started running around Lucifer while Oliver and Bruce rushed forwards, Oliver firing three explosive arrows while Bruce hurled two explosive Batarangs.

They exploded on contact with Lucifer, but when the smoke cleared, he just stood there, completely unharmed, the smirk still on his face, shocking them all.

As Oliver and Bruce prepared to fire and throw respectively to distract him again, Lucifer was suddenly next to them, and he struck them both with the back of his hands very lightly, sending them falling to the ground as they groaned.

He didn't have his full power back still due to his alternative way of escaping from The Cage, so he couldn't just blow them all up by snapping his fingers.

But he was still powerful enough to easily destroy anyone in his path, no matter who it was.

Barry finally hurled the lightning bolt at Lucifer, but while it coursed through his body and damaged his clothes, Lucifer was unaffected, and that was when Mari walked towards Lucifer, tapping her Anansi Totem, accessing a gorilla's spirit.

Then, rushing at him, she struck him with a powerful punch that….did nothing at all!

Growling, she then lashed out with a kick at his stomach, but Lucifer still seemed unaffected pretty much.

As she attempted to strike again, Lucifer grabbed her by the left arm, and twisted, making her scream in pain, after which he hurled her away, and she crashed into a building nearby.

Sara then unleashed a powerful Canary Cry right upon Lucifer.

However, Lucifer smirked, walking through it, only his clothes getting torn, but she didn't let up, hoping to at least affect him a little.

"Ah….music to my ears."

And then, he closed his fist, and Sara suddenly stopped screaming, grasping her throat, beginning to choke, and she fell to her knees.

Oliver and Bruce, meanwhile, staggered up, but when Oliver turned to face Bruce, his eyes widened in horror.

"W… what the hell are you?!" Oliver shouted.

"Green Arrow?" Bruce asked.

Suddenly, Oliver fired an arrow at Bruce, which he caught, but was confused by what was going on with Oliver.

Meanwhile, Virgil prepared his blasts, with Barry spinning his arms at Lucifer, creating mini-tornadoes with both of them, but Lucifer was still standing at the same spot, to his dismay.

"I'll take you down!" Oliver screamed at Bruce, still glaring at Bruce as both stood up, with Oliver firing another arrow that Bruce caught, and threw down, now realizing what was going on.

Oliver was hallucinating!

As Oliver fired another arrow, Bruce hurled back a Batarang that managed to deflect his arrow, and then he hurled another one, but Oliver's arrow deflected this one.

Bruce hurled one more Batarang that Oliver avoided with a spin before firing at Bruce, who dodged, only to be sent back by a spin-kick from Oliver, after which Oliver smacked him with the bow on his face, staggering him back again.

Before he could do anything, Oliver fired an arrow, getting Bruce on the side of his abdomen, Bruce staggering and falling down, his armor protecting him from the damage.

Oliver started walking towards Bruce, only for Bruce to hurl an explosive Batarang, which exploded right near Oliver, sending him flying back and falling down now.

Bruce rushed towards him, only for Oliver to kick him away with both feet, as now Bruce fell down, with Oliver flipping back up, and he fired another arrow right at Bruce, who rolled away to avoid it, the arrow now stuck into the ground as Bruce flipped up.

Throwing down his bow, Oliver hurled a punch that Bruce barely dodged, before grasping Oliver's arm and punching it, then punching his chest, sending him back.

"Its me!"

Then, Bruce attempted to throw a spin-kick, but Oliver grasped his foot with his elbow, and then using his other hand as well, slammed Bruce to the ground, making him groan.

As Bruce tried to get up, Oliver then grabbed him in a chokehold, and Bruce tried to free himself, but Oliver's grip was too strong.

Just as Oliver was about to slam Bruce and himself onto the ground, their heads were grabbed and smashed against each other, knocking them out.

As they fell down, Lucifer, who'd tanked Barry's mini-tornadoes, laughed again.

"These are the World's Finest?"

At that moment, Virgil flew at Lucifer from above, having powered up his blasts fully, and then fired at Lucifer at full power, with smoke rising from the area too, Lucifer completely covered by Virgil's electric attacks.

Then, Virgil stopped, looking down grimly, but, to his dismay, when the smoke cleared, Lucifer stood there, perfectly fine, with only his clothes scorched.

His blasts did not put any shocks to Lucifer's system!

Suddenly, Lucifer grabbed Virgil by the face. "Not very shocking, little boy." He threw Virgil at another building, Virgil falling on top of it alongside his saucer, groaning.

That was when Mari staggered out of the building she'd been thrown into, Sara getting up too, when Mari looked at Sara, and snarled. "I'll take you!"

Tapping her Anansi Totem, she accessed the spirit of an eagle, and flew at Sara, trying to scratch at her as Sara barely rolled away to avoid, and as she got up, Mari kicked her back, making her fall on the ground, but before she could fly off, Sara grabbed Mari's foot and tossed her to the other side, making her roll away.

They both stood up, glaring at each other, Sara saying. "Snap out of it!"

Mari leapt into the air to fly again, and tried to strike at Sara, who barely dodged by ducking, and then turned around, Mari flying back at her, only for Sara to try and scream!

But her Canary Cry had still been nullified by Lucifer's power, and Mari scratched her across the face, making Sara cry out in pain, while Mari landed.

Only, before either one could do anything, Lucifer punched Mari in the stomach, and then Sara, knocking them both out easily.

That was when some huge rocks fell upon Lucifer, but none of them damaged him at all, and he just turned around with a smirk, while Carrie lifted up a big truck with her powers, and brought it down upon Lucifer.

But then, the truck was hurled away, Lucifer just looking at Carrie as he walked towards her, grabbed her by the collar, and punched her lightly in the stomach, making her cough out blood.

Then, he threw Carrie to the ground.

Barry's eyes were wide as he saw how badly crippled all his peers were, by the sheer power of Lucifer!

But…..he wasn't going to stand back and just watch. The lightning bolt and mini-tornadoes had done nothing to Lucifer, but Barry was going to try and take him down still, especially as he was the most powerful of this group right now.

And so, he sped at Lucifer, aiming a punch, and…

….Lucifer suddenly grabbed him by the throat, lifting him up, keeping the Flash in his grip, Barry gasping in pain.

Looking at all the other fallen Heroes, and then back at Barry, Lucifer began to laugh maniacally once more, sending chills down Barry's spine.

"You Heroes are even more pathetic than I realized! For the past year, my newfound minions were stopped by all of you?! You were only lucky that I was broken free this late, considering that!"

Barry was very confused by what Lucifer was saying, when suddenly, he felt a knife stab into his shoulder, making him scream in agony, before it was pulled out, blood spurting out from his shoulder.

From the corner of his eye, Barry could make out the mask of Michael Myers, who held up the bloodied knife he'd used to stab Barry.

And then, seeing him in-person again, and thinking on Lucifer's words, Barry finally realized what he was talking about.

Michael, Chucky, Jason, Freddy, and anyone else who might have had shown up….they were all working for Lucifer the entire time!

No wonder they were all popping up once at a time since last year, after a short gap each.

As Barry thought this, Lucifer punched him in the stomach, making him spit out blood, and then slammed him to the ground, making him spit out blood again.

After that, Lucifer stomped on Barry's head, making him scream out in pain, while Michael stabbed him in the leg, causing Barry's screams to get louder.

Carrie, still winded, watched in dismay as Lucifer and Myers tortured Barry, and then clutched her fists, remembering how much power she truly had.

Power she thought she'd lost after dealing with…..him!

But what if…..it was still deep within her?

Carrie closed her eyes, trying to focus, in the same way she'd done during the times she'd fought him, and then, she opened her eyes, glaring at Lucifer.

She screamed loudly while even gesturing with her hands, and the streetlights in the area all exploded while the ground seemed to shake, and then…..Lucifer was thrown off by a few feet, courtesy of Carrie's power, and he crashed into a building.

Michael ripped the knife out of Barry's leg, making him scream again, and then, to the dismay of Barry and Carrie both, Lucifer walked out of the building, looking quite unscathed, though he did shoot Carrie one glance before turning away, walking to a nearby alleyway.

"Wow… after all this time… you still got it."

A suited figure stepped out of the shadows, smirking himself, as Barry looked at the figure in confusion.

"Now who the hell are you?" Barry asked, still damaged.

The figure took off his glasses and started explaining himself.

"Let me put it this way: on my Earth, I was in Germany. Then in Germany. Then in the Middle East. I was in Darfur when my beeper went off. I'm waiting to hook up with my siblings. I've got three. We're going to have so much fun together."

That was when Barry and Carrie started realizing who he truly was…..and what was truly going on with the people killing each other.

"So… all of those innocent people… claiming that they're seeing Demons, and then my friends doing the same thing… that was all you?"

"Yep! And I really haven't had to do too much. Take out a bridge here, lay in a little hallucination there, sit back, pop some corn, watch the show."

"And the fun part is… this is just the appetizer." Lucifer said with a smirk. "Well, this was quite fun. But I'm gonna get going now. The Apocalypse can't wait to start any longer."

With that, Lucifer turned around and walked off, with War and Michael Myers following him, the wounded Barry and Carrie just staring in utter hopelessness.

Middle-earth, Lothlórien

Sora, Donald and Goofy stood before Lady Galadriel, who was smiling as her attendants were packing things up behind.

"The Fellowship of the Ring were given our cloaks to help them hide when needed, but I believe you do not need those", Lady Galadriel noted, before an attendant handed her a box, which she took, before walking to Donald, opening the box up and taking out a new staff, Donald's eyes widening at that.

"Whoa!"

It was a white wooden wand with Elvish inscriptions on it, and there was a gem on top with light shining in it.

"To you, Donald Duck, I give this wand."

Donald gently took it from her, admiring the inscriptions and the power he felt from it.

"This wand carries the power of the Elves, and shall aid you in reaching your true potential."

"Thank you, my Lady", Donald said graciously with a bow as Galadriel smiled, walking to Goofy, another attendant handing her a shield that she held up, now Goofy's eyes widening on seeing it.

The shield was like an Elven shield but smaller, and rounder, with the Leaves of Lórien around the edge.

"To you, Goofy, I give this shield."

Goofy held the shied, then stood in a pose with it.

"It was forged with the finest Elven Steel and with what Mithril we can spare. It shall guard you well, and serve you in battle."

"Thank you, Lady Galadriel", Goofy said with a gracious bow.

Lady Galadriel now walked to Sora, smiling.

As Sora stood at attention, she held out a Keychain, that was a silver ring with a glowing blue Elven script around it.

Sora took it from her, and held out his hand, the Keyblade appearing. He changed the Keychain, putting the new one on it, and the Keyblade changed to a new look.

This one had something like Frodo's sword Sting as the base, with vines acting as the guard, wrapping around the handle and then crawling up the blade to the tip, where there was a Leaf of Lórien at the top, sticking out and acting as the teeth.

"To you Sora, I give the Keyblade that shall be called the Fellowship. With your light that you wield with it, you shall help in rallying the Free Peoples against the Forces of Sauron alongside one other, and dispel the darkness."

Sora held out the Fellowship and knelt before Lady Galadriel in reverence.

"Thank you, Lady Galadriel, for everything."

Sora stood up, the Fellowship disappearing, as Lady Galadriel closed her eyes, her face turning grim, Sora asking. "What is it?"

"Boromir has fallen", Lady Galadriel said sadly, Sora looking down with grief, Donald and Goofy sighing sadly too. "While Merry and Pippin have been captured by the Uruk-hai of Saruman, to be taken to Isengard."

"No…." Sora whispered. He remembered having seen Boromir. He'd stopped Frodo from running to the bridge, and later called out to Aragorn.

But Sora knew what he had to do. "I shall depart now, Lady Galadriel. To save Merry and Pippin."

She nodded, as Lord Celeborn arrived, handing them some bread wrapped in leaves, lots of it. "This is Lembas bread, one bite of it could fill a grown Man's stomach for days."

"Thank you, Lord Celeborn", Sora said gratefully, and now, it was time for the Trio to depart Lothlórien at last.

"I have gifted you a new Keychain, Sora", Lady Galadriel said to him ominously, putting her hand on his shoulder. "But the Keychain you obtained after defeating the Heartless of the Balrog- you will need it before the end."

Sora gulped, a little uncomfortable, but he realized she might be right, and he had to be ready, so he nodded, remembering her advice from last night, while she gave him a reassuring smile.

Later, the Trio rowed an elegant boat. Sora was rowing it ahead, paddling southwards, remembering the general direction Lady Galadriel had given them which would allow them to follow the trail of Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli, who had started going after the Uruk-hai that had captured Merry and Pippin themselves.

He rowed past Lady Galadriel, who had a white cloak over her head and shoulders and her right hand was upraised in farewell and blessing.

As Lothlórien was left behind, Donald sighed. "It was such a peaceful place. Wish I'd stayed."

"Me too, Donald", Goofy said with a nod.

Sora just stared ahead, continuing to row.

Earth-38, National City

Kara Danvers aka Supergirl of this Earth was watching her denouncement by Cat Grant in a bar on a loop. Getting irritated, Danvers threw down some peanuts on the bar-top and started flicking them at bottles, shattering them into pieces as the people screamed and ran out.

Danvers got up and flew off, shattering a digital screen of Cat as everyone gasped. That was when the cops arrived and started firing at her but she laughed, reveling at what was happening.

Danvers destroyed some of the cars with Heat Vision just as the DEO arrived and started firing at her. Alex Danvers was about fire the antidote when Danvers flew at them all at full speed, disarming all of them and throwing them to the ground as Alex's hand was broken.

Alex groaned as she held her hand in pain while Danvers hovered above her.

"Classic Alex. Always in time to ruin the fun", Kara mocked.

"Supergirl", Hank Henshaw aka J'onn Jonzz aka Martian Manhunter roared as he got out of his car.

"I want to help you", Alex said.

"Supergirl! No!" Hank yelled as he ran at her but was thrown aside.

"Doesn't look like help to me", Kara said.

"Please!" Alex panted. "You have to stop."

"Nothing on Earth can stop me", Kara gloated.

"You don't want to kill me", Alex said shakily as Kara's eyes glowed.

And then she fired her Heat Vision, but a tall and muscular man flew down from above, standing in the way, countering with his own Heat Vision that overpowered hers and sent her falling back, rolling on the ground.

"Superman?" Alex asked in surprise, J'onn looking up too, as Superman turned around, but they noted his face was different, plus he seemed much more muscular, and even his suit was different.

Alex looked confused. "Who're you?"

J'onn's eyes widened, as he'd read the new Kryptonian's mind. "You're Kal-El from a different world?"

Clark Kent aka Kal-El aka Superman of Earth-21 nodded. "You'd be correct."

He turned around to look at Danvers, who'd just staggered back up. "Who do you think you are, dressing up like my cousin and getting in my way, huh?"

"I am your cousin, just not the one from around here", Clark shrugged, confusing her even more.

"What does that even mean?" She growled. "Doesn't matter, I'll destroy you, pretender!"

She flew at Clark at full speed, but Superman managed to send her flying back with a flick of his finger, making her crash near a car, breaking the pavement.

Danvers got back up and flew at Superman, who let her grab him and fly him up into the air, before he pushed her off of him. They reached the top of a building, and angrily, Danvers threw a punch.

Superman was so fast, he disappeared from her sight, now behind her.

"Kara."

She spun around, only to be punched lightly on the face, and she crashed through two rooftops, damaging their tops, and groaned, while Superman landed near her.

Danvers staggered up angrily, and fired her super-breath, but Superman fired his own back, and it overpowered hers, sending her flying off onto another rooftop, damaging that too.

Getting up, she flew at Superman at full speed, but he flew at her at such a speed that she couldn't even comprehend it, and then, grabbing her by the head, Superman flew down and slammed her onto the ground, breaking it and forming a crater.

Danvers had been knocked out by that, and Superman flew back, hovering in the air, when Alex fired her gun at the unconscious Danvers.

A red beam shot out and hit Danvers, and when Alex stopped, a red mist came out of Danvers before being vaporized.

Alex then ran to her, J'onn just behind her, and they looked at the unconscious Danvers sadly, before looking at the Superman they didn't know.

"Who are you?" Danvers asked him.

"I am Superman, but I'm not the Superman of this world", Superman told her with a smile.

"And that means…" Alex trailed off.

"That means there are more than one Universes, and he is from one of them", J'onn revealed, Alex looking between him and Superman in shock.

"Other Universes?" She muttered.

"Yes", Superman confirmed, before holding out his hand to J'onn. "I'm guessing you're the J'onn of this place."

"Right you are", J'onn said, shaking Superman's hand.

"I'm Alex Danvers, her sister", Alex said, gesturing to the unconscious Danvers.

"Interesting, she was already an adult when I found her", Superman commented. "And she looks very different from my Kara too." He remembered seeing Cat Grant on the news. "My Cat would give everything to be like this one though."

"We can barely deal with one", Alex said with a groan.

"So, are you stuck then?" J'onn asked Superman, but he shook his head.

"No, I keep a device to take myself back with me", Superman told the two of them, then looked at Danvers. "Still, I'll stick around for a bit to talk to her. I know how badly Red Kryptonite can affect people."

"So you've dealt with it?" J'onn asked in surprise.

"Yeah, too much over the years."

With that, he flew off, Alex muttering with a dropped jaw. "He makes ours look tiny in comparison."

J'onn nodded. "He does."

Earth-8096, New York City, Avengers Mansion

"So, you wanna be the one inside now, for a while that is?" Captain America asked Hulk, who stood nearby, having packed a bag for Banner, which was surprising.

"Done fighting when it's not my fault, need vacation", Hulk confessed to Cap, who smiled in understanding.

"This is for both of you", Cap said, and Hulk nodded, realizing what Cap would say next was for both him and Banner to hear. "You can do whatever you want, soldier. You've more than earned your shore leave." With that, he extended his hand, and Hulk took it, transforming back into Banner, wearing nothing but rags of his pants, the two shaking hands fully, before dropping them. "Just don't forget, you're more than an Avenger. You're a friend."

Banner nodded. "Thank you, Cap." He looked at his packed bag, and went through it. "Hulk packed everything I like." He smiled. "Nice guy." Then he looked down and groaned. "Can I ask you for some spare pants before I'm gone?"

Cap chuckled and patted his shoulder before walking down to get some. "Sure thing."

Middle-earth

After a day of travelling and having rested up on a small island in the middle of the wider section of the Anduin, the Trio was rowing their boat once more, having paddled for hours now.

Soon, they came upon two gigantic statues, carved into the stone of the surrounding cliffs.

"Whoa!" Sora said in awe of the statues, Donald and Goofy having the same reactions. "Those statues are so big…and so beautiful!"

"This entire world is quite the beauty, eh Sora?" Goofy asked him, Sora nodding at that.

"It is, and that's another reason we need to save it from Sauron's darkness", Sora declared, Donald and Goofy nodding at that.

Both the statues gave gestures with their left hands as if to warn travelers that the waterfall was very close and their expressions also seemed defiant.

Just past the Argonath was a giant waterfall, split in two by a tall, wide rock. The Falls of Rauros. The boat would be of no more use after this.

The Fellowship of the Ring Soundtrack-16-Amon Hen plays

The Trio walked side-by-side, Sora saying. "Think we're supposed to go forth from here."

"Huh? Look!" Donald said, pointing ahead, and the other two saw various Uruk-hai all lying dead on the ground, having been cut by sword or axe, or shot by arrows.

"Gawrsh, this must be where it went down", Goofy realized, sighing. "At least we don't have to stop and deal with them now."

And at that moment, the shadows underneath the dead Uruk-hai started rising, to the horror of the Trio, converging into a dark aura, and that turned into a giant, towering Heartless.

The Shadowborn Chieftain growled at them, and then roared, the roar echoing across the ruins. It was a massive, twisted version of the Uruk-hai, wearing dark armor similar to the Uruk-hai armor, wielding a jagged dark sword, and a similar shield, surrounded by an aura of oppressive darkness, the Heartless symbol on its chest.

"You had to say it!" Donald snapped at Goofy, who groaned, scratching his head.

"Let's do this!" Sora said, summoning the Fellowship, while Donald and Goofy summoned their wand and shield too respectively.

The Shadowborn Chieftain charged at them with its massive sword, executing wide, sweeping arcs that carved through the ground of the battlefield.

Sora rolled away to avoid, with Donald and Goofy scattering.

Then, the Heartless summoned his Shadow Minions, smaller Heartless resembling shadowy Uruk-Hai, also with the Heartless symbol on them, but the Trio was ready to battle.

As Shadowborn Chieftain swung its sword in wide arcs again, the Trio dodged, and then rolling up to a Shadow Minion, Sora struck it thrice with the Fellowship, dissipating its dark form into nothingness, after which he struck two more quickly, taking them down too.

Goofy bashed another one away, and blocked a Shadow Minion's attack, before bashing that one into nothingness too.

Donald shone a light from his wand, its power seeming to damage the Shadow Minions as they backed off in horror.

"Whoa! That's so cool, Donald!" Sora cheered for his friend.

"THUNDER!" Donald cried out, and then lightning hit the Shadow Minions, taking them out as well, with the Trio now standing together to battle Shadowborn Chieftain once more.

Roaring, Shadowborn Chieftain's sword grew in size, and it slammed the sword onto the ground, creating a shockwave of dark energy.

"AERORA!" Sora cried out, using the blast of air to counter the dark energy shockwave while Donald and Goofy rushed behind him to avoid it.

And then, Sora did a 'Flowmotion', leaping off of a tree and then striking Shadowborn Chieftain with a powerful five-strike combo, making it stumble back.

But before Sora could land, it retaliated by bashing him with its shield, sending him crashing into Donald and Goofy, as all three crashed on the ground, groaning.

As they stood up, the battlefield grew darker, with mist obscuring their surroundings, the Trio looking around in concern.

At that point, Shadowborn Chieftain slammed its shield onto the ground, creating tendrils of darkness that shot towards the Trio, about to immobilize them.

But Sora used 'Glide' and flew into the air, avoiding it, with Goofy getting in front of Donald. "Stay back, Donald." And then he used 'Trinity Guard', deflecting the tendrils.

Getting even more aggressive, Shadowborn Chieftain utilized a spinning sword attack, creating a vortex of darkness all around them, like Shade had before.

But Donald used the light from his wand, making it easier for them all to see. Before Shadowborn Chieftain could react, Sora leapt and struck it with another five-strike combo, making it stumble back, after which Goofy charged in with 'Goofy Turbo', staggering Shadowborn Chieftain back again.

"BLIZZARA!" Donald then cried out, freezing the Heartless' feet momentarily.

As the ice disappeared, Shadowborn Chieftain staggering back in pain, then released a deafening roar, stunning the Trio briefly, before it swung its sword.

The swinging sword caused a rain of shadowy spikes from its tip, but that was when Sora did a 'Formchange'.

He rose up a little above the ground, light emanating from him, and then his clothes took on a shimmering, silvery-green hue, resembling the cloaks of Lothlórien, with a flowing cape that was adorned with subtle leaf patterns. The Leaf of Lórien emblem appeared as a clasp on his chest.

A faint, golden glow surrounded Sora, and the Fellowship transformed into a radiant, double-edged blade resembling a hybrid of an Elven longsword and a mystical staff, lined with glowing Elvish runes.

His hair grew a little longer too, resembling Elven hair.

This was called the 'Elven Grace Form'.

Donald and Goofy watched in awe as Sora did a move called 'Leaf Tempest', summoning a whirlwind of glowing leaves that quickly deflected the shadowy spikes, while Shadowform Chieftain was struck by them too and grunted, staggering back.

Then, Sora did another move called the 'Blessing of Lórien', channelling the light of Lady Galadriel through the Keyblade, sending out a blinding wave of energy that dealt massive damage to the Shadowborn Chieftain, making it screech in agony as it was weakened badly, while the mist obscuring their surroundings was dissipated too.

Donald and Goofy were enhanced as well, with Donald crying out. "THUNDARA!" A blast of thunder hit the Heartless, making it stumble, while Goofy did another 'Goofy Turbo', making it slide back by a few feet.

Sora did a 'Lightning Dash', teleporting a short distance ahead, leaving behind a burst of light that also stunned Shadowborn Chieftain, and then, he did a 'Luminous Strike', releasing a trail of golden light in a wide-arc that brutally damaged Shadowborn Chieftain, and finally, with a loud screech, it dissipated into nothingness, releasing its heart.

Sora came back to normal, the Trio sighing in relief, Goofy saying. "This new Formchange was so powerful."

"Yeah, it definitely helped", Sora said with a smile. "I'm regaining strength faster than I'd thought."

"But we still need the Power of Waking!" Donald pointed out, and Sora nodded in agreement there.

"Oh yeah", Sora agreed, their weapons vanishing. "But right now, let's go save Merry and Pippin."

The other two nodded as the Trio ran forth, charging into the woods.

Earth-38, National City

After Danvers had apologized to Cat, she was simply sitting on the balcony. Cat had told her she'd need to regain the city's trust and gone off eventually.

Danvers then heard some hovering near her and turned around to see it was Earth-21 Superman.

"J'onn and Alex told me who you were", Danvers said, looking at him sadly, before standing up. "I'm so sorry I attacked you, Kal, I shouldn't have-"

Superman raised his hand. "I don't approve of what you did, but as someone who was also affected by Red Kryptonite of my own Earth many times, I can understand."

Danvers shook her head and sighed. "Still…my Kal must be so ashamed of me."

"I think he'd understand, because I do", Superman assured her. "Do you want to know what I've done on Red Kryptonite?"

"I'm sure you didn't try to blow up cop cars", Kara said.

"I spent my parents' money on expensive things. Slammed my dad to his truck", Superman listed as Danvers listened, wide-eyed. She didn't think her cousin, or another version of him for the matter, would be capable of something like that. "Went on a date with my now ex-girlfriend but then ditched her for a new girl who was really hot while making that ex buy us drinks. Compromised the safety of that very girl and her dad as they were on witness protection program. And the big one! I left Smallville and robbed banks in Metropolis for months."

Danvers seemed horrified and shocked on hearing that as Superman said. "And then another time I was exposed, I crashed my enemy's and my ex's engagement party with Lois and stole their thunder." He added. "The last time, I even joined Zod and caused a snowy blizzard in Seattle with my Arctic breath."

"Wow!" Danvers said in disbelief. "I had no idea any version of my cousin could do that. How did everyone forgive you?"

"I worked. I worked really hard to regain their lost trust", Superman said. "It may have brought out my most twisted thoughts, but it is my job to make sure such thoughts do not control me. And you will have to do that too, Kara."

Danvers sighed and nodded, knowing Clark was right. And if he had done it, maybe she could too.

She looked up at him with a smile and said. "Thank you. Thank you so much."

"Anytime", he assured her, before he hovered hired into the air. "Though…..most of the time, I was acting like a rebellious bad boy, and the last time, it unleashed my innermost desire to have a family and a feeling of acceptance that I longed for, and in a strange way, Zod represented the closest thing to an actual family I could have." His expression turned grim. "I heard from Alex and J'onn; you wanted to be worshipped."

Danvers looked ashamed of herself. "I….I'd no idea that I had thoughts and feelings like that buried underneath myself."

"Look, I don't think you're a bad person, no version of my cousin could be a bad person", Superman assured her, putting a hand to her shoulder, as she looked at him. "I just believe you need to do some self-reflection. Otherwise, you won't be the best hero you can be, and no world deserves anything less than the best."

Hearing that, Danvers gave a little smile, and nodded lightly, before other thoughts came into her mind.

"Another you, another Universe, another J'onn, and another me, though", Danvers had to say, still looking like she was processing it. "That's new! And…"

"I know, I'd the same reaction", Superman told her. "Haven't met another version of myself though, well, met an evil version once, but not someone who is just like me in what I do and who I am, though a friend of mine met some alternate versions of some of our other friends, and I did meet an alternate teenage version of a hero I met in a different Universe."

"All of this is hurting my head", Danvers said with a groan, Superman chuckling.

"I know the feeling", he told her.

"And this other me apparently was already an adult when you found her, huh?"

"Yeah, intense too."

Danvers winced. "Wishing I was like her now."

"Well, good luck", Superman assured her, as Danvers hovered in the air too, and the two of them shared a hug again.

"Thanks again."

"No problem."

They parted, and then Superman flew off, using the Legion Ring to get back to his home Universe, Danvers watching as he disappeared.

"Other Universes, huh?"

Earth-1, Los Angeles

Amenadiel saw the news on TV about people hallucinating Demons and killing each other, his expression grim.

For some reason, he'd a feeling that this was related to that horrible feeling that he'd felt a couple of months ago.

Linda, who was feeding Charlie nearby, looked at his face.

"I know that look", she noted, Amenadiel sighing as he looked at her.

"I know. I'm sorry, but I do need to go, and make a call."

Linda smiled, knowing just who he was talking about. "Sure thing, good luck." And then she asked. "What should I do?"

"Just stay with our son", Amenadiel replied, Linda nodding as the Angel leaned in to kiss her on the forehead, and then they shared a loving kiss on the lips, before Amenadiel looked at Charlie.

He gently took his son from Linda, looking at him with a smile.

"I'll be back, my son. I won't be gone long."

Kissing Charlie on the forehead, Amenadiel handed him back to his mother, and then walked off, Linda watching him leave with a neutral expression.

The Enchantress was falling through the wormhole, seeing many visions before her.

First, she saw a tall man in dark clothes, a look of insanity in his eyes.

Then, she saw a strange sort of creature with black fur that was red in a few areas opening its eyes inside some kind of stasis chamber.

After that, she saw a tall being with purple skin who had several armor-like carapaces on his chest, shoulders, shins, and head.

Next, she saw a muscular man with a beard, wearing fur coat made from a dead animal clearly.

After that, she saw a beautiful (nothing compared to her though!), buxom woman, wearing a leather jacket, faded jeans and boots.

Then, she saw an old man wearing robes like that of a priest.

After that, she saw a man who seemed to have no face at all, or was covering his face with something that made it look faceless!

And finally, she saw an old man with an eyepatch, with golden armor, who looked a lot like Odin, and that made her sneer in disgust, just before she fell onto the ground, face-first, finding the ground quite hot, the heat comforting to her.

Sighing, she picked herself up.

"Who dares enter my realm?"

Her eyes widening, she turned around to face…Surtur!

The Surtur of the Universe that she'd fallen into. He was about as large as her own Surtur. Looking at her, Surtur tilted his head.

"Your power…..it seems to come from me, yet I have never met you until now."

Suddenly getting an idea, Enchantress lit up her entire body on fire, showing him just how much power she wielded, courtesy of her own Surtur, and knelt before him.

"This power was granted to me by the Surtur of my Universe", Enchantress revealed to Surtur, who watched her in fascination.

"Ah, so the Surtur you know plans the destruction of Asgard in the Ragnarok too", Surtur noted, quite intrigued, while he lifted up his sword. "Now, you have been brought here, before me. I believe there is a reason for it."

Enchantress nodded with a smirk.

"Indeed. I believe….that this Universe shall experience its Ragnarok now!"

Thanks you to Brainstorm Sorcerer once more for his help with the MCU and EMH plots, and to Gussygus28 for the SPN Lucifer plot.

On Earth-199999, the 'Civil War' is already very different from the actual film. As here, its not Bucky (well, Zemo but ya know what I mean), but seemingly MCU Bruce Banner who is the instigator, having blown up the UN HQ. in New York, seemingly to have his revenge on Ross, killing T'Chaka.

With the SHRA passed, things have turned to shit already, with Enhanced, Mutants and Inhumans all being hunted and sent to the Raft, including Jessica Jones. Bill Foster got captured too while having Ava Starr escape, and the winged girl they captured was a Mutant from Marvel Comics named Pixie.

Imagine Abigail Cowen as Pixie, Christian Convery as the kid and Amanda Seyfried as his mom.

Matt and Blade have fortunately dodged their pursuers and taught them a lesson. Then there's the F4, who don't support the SHRA but signed it to save themselves publicly, which is a bad move, but from their POV, understandable.

Lincoln was saved by Triton (Doug Jones), from the Inhumans Royal Family, and Chynae (Ella Purnell) of the Inhumans Royal Guard. If you've read my 'Marvel's Inhumans Season 1', you know why they're down here. Daisy got sent off into hiding too, to protect the entire SHIELD Team.

On EMH Earth, Bishop has been captured, and Wolverine and Cyclops give some background on him, though not enough, as Charles couldn't tell them much. But Hulk/Banner decides to go on a brief vacation.

In Middle-earth, our Trio finally met Lady Galadriel in Lothlórien, and we got the mirror scene with Sora, thanks a lot to Brainstorm Sorcerer for his suggestions on those. I imagine you can figure some stuff there out.

I think Sora is a Stepford Smiler, he's positive and optimistic, but it also causes him to hide his own bad feelings and not share those, and so he keeps it all in, and sometimes can explode at bad moments, as seen in KHIII, and that's what Lady Galadriel advised him on.

And now Sora has a new Keyblade named the 'Fellowship'. Some guy called GarikW designed LOTR-themed Keyblades and posted them to Reddit, and that's where this one comes from. Hope Donald's and Goofy's new wand and shield respectively were enjoyed too, thanks you to Brainstorm Sorcerer for the suggestion.

So, Heartless in Middle-earth combined with dead Uruk-hai's shadows and became a giant Heartless, that our Trio beat, and hope the LOTR-styled 'Formchange'- 'Elven Grace Form' was enjoyed by all, including its abilities.

I know some are disappointed Boromir still died but him living has been done too much in fanfic, including twice by me, so its sort of like a cliché, hence he still passes away, but…never say never!

Meanwhile, the Durin's Bane keychain, while its not been used yet, again….never say never! Also, the ring on Sora's Keychain was not Nenya, Lady Galadriel would NEVER give it away even to one she trusts, just a weaker magic ring.

With 'The Fellowship of the Ring' done, we enter 'The Two Towers'. Also, Lady Galadriel narrating backstory of Sauron and The One Ring to the Trio was perfect because she literally narrated the prologue too!

Meanwhile, Earth-38 is back after the Black Lightning cameo in last fic, with the Red K episode of Supergirl Season 1. Don't like the show or this version of Supergirl, that is Danvers, but Seasons 1-3 had some good episodes.

Hope Smallville Clark teaching Red K Danvers a lesson was enjoyed, as well as the talk later, before he returned to his world.

Smallville Clark is the most powerful version of Superman outside of comics, even as far back as Seasons 4/5 of his show, so CW Danvers was nothing to him. I do think Reeve/Routh Superman and S&L Superman can fight Smallville Clark though, but not beat him.

Thanks a lot to Cer1992 for suggesting this.

Meanwhile, in MCU, Loki has been exposed finally, while EMH Thor and Amora, after their fight, fell into MCU too, with Odinson in Asgard and Enchantress in Muspelheim. To differentiate, MCU Thor is Thor and EMH Thor is Odinson.

The reason for the two conveniently falling to Asgard and Muspelheim respectively is the magic clash of portals caused them to fall to places with similar magic, so Odinson reached Thor, and Enchantress reached MCU Surtur, since she gets her power from EMH Surtur.

The cameos when Enchantress fell through the wormhole are- Shinobu Sensui from 'YuYu Hakusho', Shadow the Hedgehog from the 'Sonic the Hedgehog' movies, Cooler from 'Dragon Ball Z: Cooler's Revenge', Kraven the Hunter from Insomniac's 'Spider-Man 2', a version of Jessica Jones played by Alexandra Daddario, Brother Blood from 'Teen Titans', a live-action version of The Question who exists on my Arrowverse Earth-1, and finally MCU Odin before ending up in MCU.

On Earth-1, SPN Lucifer has now recruited all the Horror Icons into his army, and beat the asses of the Earth-1 Heroes too. Hope the JL Dark reference was enjoyed.

CW Green Arrow curbstomps Reevesverse Batman, who is supposed to be realistic. But here, since he is in a more comic-booky world, he is bettering his skills, but Oliver still destroys him in a fight.

And who is this him Carrie thought of? You'll get your answers later. SPN War is here too.

Hope all enjoyed and see you all next time with another chapter.
