Not long ago:At the edge of everything, the prison where the being known as the Challenger float at the Far Shore. The once great Challenger has powerful cosmic restraints around his hands and ankles as he looks up at monitors which depict Avengers in combat. Voyager hovers alongside him, as the Challenger addresses her by her given name, Va Nee Gast, and tells her that he doesn't fully understand this, and asks what makes these Avengers fight like they do against gods and god killers? 'They're just... mortal. What drives them on? What could possibly -' the Challenger begins, before he and Voyager are both overcome by a strange pain that surges through their bodies. 'What was that? That burst of agony...' the confused Challenger asks. Voyager tells the Challenger that she felt it, too, like something tearing at the skin of the universe. She opens a portal to Mount Olympus. 'Immortals at play...' Challenger mutters. 'A nostalgic sight, but -' he begins, before Voyager shushes him and tells him to watch.
An instant later, the ground breaks up beneath Mount Olympus, and a striking pale-skinned woman in a black dress appears, with several other pale-skinned beings, the twins Apate and Dolos. Apate has red markings on her face and arms, while Dolos is balding and has blue markings. Hypnos wears a costume like Thor, and is a large powerful figure, and finally Oizys, a strange, slithering create with glowing green eyes. 'Gods of Olympus. Do you remember my name?' the woman calls out. Zeus look on in horror, wide-eyed, 'It cannot be...' he utters, before telling Hermes to run and find Hercules, to tell him that the Queen of Night has returned. 'I do your bidding, father -' Hermes begins as he speeds away, while Hypnos steps in front of him and declares that he must do his mother's bidding, as he casts a sleep-dust over Hermes, who stops in his tracks and falls into Hypnos' arms. 'It'll go easier that way' Hypnos remarks as he plunges a sword into Hermes' chest.
'You locked me away, Lord Zeus. Sent me to rot until the sun was parted from the Earth. But then the sun was torn from the sky. I am free – free to see what you've all been doing. And what do I find?' Nyx calls out, while Apate grabs Artemis, 'No – too fast -' Artemis utters, as Dolos leaps towards Athena who raises her shield and asks their father for help. Nyx declares that the Olympians' only epics are past glories, their once-great poetry now mere banter – they are unworshipped and uncaring. 'Murderers! I'll destroy you for -' Apollo calls out as he leaps towards Nyx, a radiant glow surrounding him, but he is overcome by Nyx, whose darkness wraps around him as she remarks that the Olympians are too weak to resist the true death. 'NO!' Zeus booms as lightning crackles around his fists as he tells the Queen of Night that she will die for this. 'Foul demon of the dark -' Zeus begins, his lightning striking Nyx, but she stands her ground, doesn't even flinch. 'Demon? I gave you all I had. I gave you the unknown and the unknowable. I gave you the night -' Nyx frowns as she grabs Zeus by his throat and tells him that he wasted it.
'She's killed them all -' Voyager gasps, as the Challenger tells her that this is revenge, a motive he understands, and that the Queen of Night won't be stopped until someone stops her. Voyager is conflicted, she tells the Challenger that she can't leave, as she has a responsibility. 'Someone has to guard you -' she begins, which causes the Challenger to smirk and ask her if she can stay. 'When did the Earth part from the sun? Was it when we moved it? For our game?' the Challenger wonders. 'Did you free her?' he asks Voyager.
The Queen of Night touches Zeus' face as Oizys wraps herself around Zeus' neck, 'Despair...despair' she projects into Zeus' mind. 'Oh...oh this grief... my heart...' Zeus utters, while Nyx tells him to hush, and that he has been touched by her most favored offspring – Misery. Nyx puts her face against Zeus' and asks him what he did with the night shards within her soul when he cast her down and took the night shards. Tears fall from Zeus' eyes as he reveals that he placed one with an ally in a place of knowledge, one with an enemy in a place of dreams and one in a far-off paradise. Lightning begins to dart from Zeus' eyes as he tries to resist Nyx, he declares that Nyx will learn no more. 'I see' Nyx responds, while Zeus warns her that when his son learns of this, he will being the forces of the age upon her head. Zeus declares that her has felt the power of the new heroes, the Avengers of the wronged. 'They are truly Earth's mightiest – and you will never -' Zeus starts to say, before Nyx snaps his neck, 'The light is yours no longer. You will not be missed' she utters.
Fires burn across Mount Olympus, as the gods lay fallen. Nyx turns to her children and tells them that the gods are dead, but that there is on more yet to be done – this universe is spoiled. Nyx explains to her children that once she regains the shards of her missing power, she can wipe this universe clean and start a better one – but for now, now she lays claim to Mighty Zeus' throne. Nyx smiles as she declares that the bare beginning of her full power – the day of the Gods is done. 'Let fall the night' she calls out as she snaps her fingers, and plunges the universe into darkness. Nyx sits on Zeus' throne, and her children gather around her.
'She won't be stopped' Voyager utters, realizing that there is no choice. 'No. You can't fight it alone, either' the Challenger tells Voyager, smirking as he tells her to go assemble her Avengers. 'I look forward to your return' he tells Voyager as she vanishes through a portal.
Now:Sometimes, people ask Hawkeye how he odes what he does – wondering if he is just lucky, or what. But Clint Barton knows that there is actually a pretty simply secret, in this world, one minute everything is kay, or not okay, but predictable. But it never lasts. Your luck runs out – and there is never any warning. And suddenly, it's all on you. To fight gods and god killers. To fight a whole world that wants to crush you and crush your friends. You've only got what's in your hands. A bow and arrow against the lightning. So how does he do it? How do you fight when there is no hope? How do you fight the end of the world – how do you do what he does? Hawkeye has no idea – there has gotta be something to it, it can't just be luck. All he knows is, if he stopped to think about he would never get anything done.
So, Hawkeye acts without thinking - everybody knows that – like when he sees this crazy god-killing chick put her claws through Wanda's head – there is no time for hesitation – this isn't a carefully considered action – it's all about instinct. 'The Avengers of the wronged – frankly, I expected more' Nyx smiles as Wanda Maximoff a.k.a. the Scarlet Witch falls limply to the ground once Nyx removes her hand from Wanda's head. The Vision and Rocket Raccoon look on in shock, while lightning crackles behind some pillars. Hawkeye reaches behind himself and grabs several arrows, quickly firing them at Nyx, they explode around her, startling the Queen of Night, setting her off balance. 'Yup, that's the Clint Barton way - “shoot first, get scared later”' Clint thinks to himself as the Vision, Rocket, the Hulk, Voyager and the Mighty Hercules rally around him. 'YOU! YOU WILL PAY WITH BLOOD FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE!' Hercules booms.
'Scratch that' Hawkeye thinks to himself as he watches Nyx dodge Hercules' punch and the laser beam that the Vision shoots at her. Clint admits to himself that he is a bit freaked out now. He slows his breathing, knowing that he has to keep his head in the game. He fires some more arrows towards Nyx – no, not at her, where she is gonna end up. Nyx dodges another of Hercules' punches as she tells him that his father spoke of his prowess. 'Why don't you show me?' she asks him. 'I'll wipe that smile from your lips, wench!' Hercules responds, but Nyx just grins and tells him to hush as she slashes her fingers across Hercules' throat. She takes his head in her hands, Hercules goes wide-eyed as Nyx looks into his eyes and informs him that her soul was broken into shards and scattered across the universe. She asks him if he knew that, and reveals that she is at her weakest. 'I thought that might at least make this entertaining' Nyx remarks, dropping Hercules to the ground. 'Apparently not -' Nyx begins, as the Hulk rushes up behind her and attempts to grab her – but her body phases through his powerful green hands.
Thinking the Hulk has caught Nyx Rocket tells him to hold her steady as he begins to fire his weapon – but the Hulk is confused to discover that Nyx has escaped his grasp, and falls backwards when the energy fired from Rocket's weapon strikes him. 'I am darkness itself, you fool. I cannot be held!' Nyx boasts as she slices her sharp finger nails down the surprised Hulk's back. Hawkeye thinks to himself that Nyx is toying with them, like this is all a game. 'C-Clint?' Wanda utters, sitting up and covering her face with her hands. Clint puts a hand on his friend's shoulder and tells her that he is here, and to hold on. 'I... I can't see...'Wanda gasps.
'Is that all? I was told the forces of the age would come to thwart me. I expected heroes' Nyx calls out, declaring that she could have left this battle to her children. Suddenly, 'We'll bring you to justice for what you've done!' Voyager boasts as she appears through a portal that opens next to Nyx, and punches the Queen of Night hard in the face. 'Will you now?'Nyx asks as she gathers herself, and slices her finger nails across Voyager, who screams. The Vision hears the voice of Monica Rambeau a.k.a. Spectrum, whose electrical form is currently inside his own. She tells him that if they strike simultaneously, they might be able to give Hercules enough time to hit her hard. The Vision agrees, and tells Spectrum that they must time it perfectly, so she should stay hidden within his circuitry until he gives the signal. The Vision fires an energy blast at Nyx, but she dodges it with ease.
Hawkeye fires another arrow, but this one just phases through Nyx, while Hawkeye thinks  to himself 'She's trouncing myths, monsters and cosmic elders like they're nothing. If she gets ahold of me... when she gets ahold of me...' Clint tells himself, before realizing that he shouldn't think about it, as sweat pours down his face. 'If I think about it... I won't... I can't...' Clint frowns as a voice echoes in his head: 'Your skills are worthless here...as is your courage. Worthless. Worthless'. Clint wonders what good he is as Oizys can be seen latching onto him. 'I don't want to die here...' Wanda utters, while Clint thinks to himself that he is a cocky guy with a bow – so what chance has he got? 'No chance. No chance at all. At all. At all' Oizys tells him, grinning.
The Vision continues to fire energy beams at Nyx, who still manages to dodge the attack. 'Spectrum – now!' the Vision shouts, and an intantaneously, Spectrum emerges from the Vision's circuitry, hurling a brilliant blast of energy upwards which distracts Nyx, who stumbles backwards and screams. 'To hells with you all...' Nyx mutters. 'Show us the way – and I'll gladly follow!' Hercules shouts as he rushes forward and punches Nyx hard, hurling her backwards. 'There now! Finally a worthy blow from the son of Zeus' Nyx smirks, wiping the blood from her mouth as she tells Hercules to come defend the graves of his family.
'No! If she's goading us – this is all a distraction! If her children aren't here, she must have sent them to retrieve the shards of her soul!' Voyager calls out to the other heroes, she informs them that now she can see Nyx's power, she can sense the location of her children. 'We must intercept them!' Voyager urges the others as she begins to open a portal. Hercules falls back through the portal, 'No! I will slay Nyx here and -' he begins, while another portal opens around Hulk and Rocket, 'Enough with the portal poppin!' Rocket mutters, while Hawkeye wonders where they are going now, as portals rise up around he and Wanda, which intrigues Oizys. Vision starts to call out to Voyager, before he and Spectrum vanish through another portal. 'Go!' Voyager calls out before Nyx grabs her by her neck and forces her to the ground. 'Your power...it intrigues me!' Nyx exclaims. 'You're a finder, aren't you?' she asks, deciding that this is useful, as she pushes Voyager towards Oizys, who laughs as she puts her fingers to Voyager's head.
There is darkness, when suddenly, Clint opens his eyes. He discovers that he is in a hospital bed, and wonders how he got here. He sits up in the bed and calls out to Wanda, and to the Vision. 'Anybody! Is anybody there?' Clint shouts, but gets no answer. 'Hello?' he utters quietly. Clint tells himself not to panic, to breathe and put it together – he knows he is in a hospital, and decides that is not surprising given that the last thing he remembers is shooting sticks at a god, and, yet again, he lived to tell the tale. 'Clint Barton, professional weeble. He wobbles, but he won't fall down' Clint jokes to himself, supposing that there had to have been another battle, someone brought him here for some reason – but whatever happened, he seems to be all right – just the usual post-slobberknocker aches and pains.
Suddenly, a look of horror falls across Clint's face as he sees bandages covering one of his hands. 'Hello? Nurse? Doctor? CAN ANYBODY HEAR ME?' Clint shouts. No answer, so he falls back into the bed, and wonders what he expected. 'Look at who you are. Look at where you've been' Clint suggests to himself, recalling how a reporter once wanted to know how a guy with a bow and arrow managed, after all these years, to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Thor and Iron Man, wondering if he had some secret super powers. He remembers saying to her, in a gin-fueled moment of candor, that there was an airplane accident, a guy falls from 8,000 feet, no chute, nothing below him, but farmland – not a prayer of survival, that the ground was coming up fast – give thousand feet, and he is a goner. Three thousand – and then he saw a haystack, so, in desperation, he twists and turns his body, the haystack his only chance to break his fall – he was going to make it, five hundred feet, then one hundred – except he is gonna be off to the left by about ten lousy feet.
Clint's story continues, as a huge gust of wind kicked up and nudged him exactly ten feet over – BAM – right into the haystack he goes, lands like a marshmallow. The guy was pulling hay out of his hair as a farmer came running up, “Dear God” the farmer said. “I can't believe it! That was incredible! You must be the luckiest man alive” to which the guy replied “Nah, that's Clint Barton”. Clint tells himself to admit the truth for once, that all he has ever really had to offer the Avengers is the fact that he was lucky – but that's the thing about luck – you can't run with super-soldiers and world-beaters forever. Eventually...your luck runs out – and there is never any warning – so try not to think about it. Suddenly, 'Barton?' a voice calls out, and Clint looks up to see the Hulk standing over him. 'Guess what, Barton? You're alone. Time to settle up' the Hulk smirks.

Untitled
Omnipotence City, where Nyx, Queen of the Night holds up one of the missing shards of her soul, which sparkles above her. Her daughter, Oizys, slithers around her, holding Voyager prisoner, while the heroes Hercules, Monica Rambeau a.k.a. Spectrum, the Vision and Wanda Maximoff the Scarlet Witch are trapped inside a bubble of darkness. Wanda thinks to herself that the darkness draws ever closer now and that they are helpless to stop it. Wanda knows that Hercules' legendary rage threatens to boil over, but that it has nowhere to go. 'Damn you, Nyx! I will avenge the Olympians and see you slain!' Hercules booms, while Wanda realizes that Nyx is in control, as she and her children dispatched them with ease, and now that she has a piece of power, she will become even stronger.
Nyx looks closely at the shard in her hand, recalling how Zeus created them to diminish her power, she wonders how she accesses the power once more – shatter it, ingest it? 'It's a strange sort of puzzle, isn't it?' she remarks to herself, while inside the bubble, Spectrum glows with energy, energy that she cannot release as there is nowhere for it to go. Wanda knows that outside the bubble, Oizys is still coiled around Voyager, controlling her by feeding her messages that she is numb and that her mind is weak, while back in the bubble, Wanda knows that the Vision is dying, his system riddled with malfunctions and his body battered. 'And me? Nyx took my sight and used me to help find her shard' Wanda reminds herself. She looks out of the bubble, all she can “see” is Nyx's power, and that growing darkness.
The blind Wanda looks down at her hands, she knows a spell that might break these bonds, but without her eyes, she can't trace the sigils needed to activate it. No one else can see what Wanda sees, before she turns to Monica, who utters 'Wanda, please tell me you have a brilliant plan'. 'Have you ever wanted to be a witch?' Wanda responds.
Meanwhile, in Nightmare's Realm, Clint Barton a.k.a. Hawkeye fights alongside Rocket Raccoon, firing an arrow, he tells Rocket that he isn't saying he ever wanted this, and asks if it is a bad thing that he is kind of enjoying himself. 'I don't know, Barton. Maybe?' Rocket responds as he fires his machine gun into the sleeping army before them, while the Immortal Hulk rides the dark steed called Dreamstalker, smashing his way through Hypnos' slumbering forces with great speed. Hypnos sees this, and tells his army to keep the green demon busy while he bravely fetches the Shard of Night from inside Nightmare's castle. 'Yeah, you better run, Hynpos' the Hulk grins as he watches Hypnos enter Nightmare's castle.
Hawkeye tells Rocket that it is like they are in a dream, so he can cut loose and not hurt anybody. 'Feels kinda like Space Invaders' he adds. 'Space Invaders? What's that? Some Earth thing?' Rocket mutters as he continues to fire his gun. Hawkeye readies another arrow as he explains that it is an old video game, that you have to kill all the space aliens before they set foot on Earth soil. 'Present company excluded, I mean...' Clint adds. 'Oh, thank you. I feel so, so welcome in your neighborhood' Rocket scowls, before telling Hawkeye that this is why the whole galaxy thinks he sucks. 'Look, I didn't come up with the -' Hawkeye begins, before he goes wide-eyed as he sees something, or someone, up ahead. 'Barton?' Rocket asks. 'Holy flark -' Rocket begins, as Kate Bishop, also called Hawkeye, appears, leaping at Clint, she kicks him in the face and knocks him back. 'It's the real Hawkeye!' Rocket calls out.
'Z' the younger Hawkeye, whose face is covered by a soldier's helmet, exclaims. Clint rubs his face and calls out to Kate, he tells her to wake up, before asking her if she is sleeping with her clothes on, as it is past noon. 'What time did you get in last night -' Clint begins, before Kate's boot once again strikes his face. 'Z' Kate Bishop declares. 'She's literally beating me in her sleep' Clint mutters, before reaching into his back pocket, he decides that it is time for the ace-in-the-hole Goliath serum. 'Take me away -' Clint begins, but his hand comes back empty, the serum is gone. 'I had it right here – where did it -' Clint begins, before a powerful blast of energy slams into Kate, knocking her backwards. 'You – you shot her -' Clint utters. 'What? You said this wasn't real -' Rocket replies. 'What if I'm wrong?' Clint wonders. Looking down over the battlefield, littered with bodies, Rocket tells Clint that if he's wrong, then they're all sons of Krutkas, before he asks where the Hulk has gone.
Inside Nightmare's castle, Hypnos reaches for the shard called the Night That May Yet Be. It glows in his hand as he declares that the task is done. 'The battle is ended – and I have won! I've won, do you hear?' Hypnos calls out, when suddenly, the Hulk smashes his way into the castle, large sword in hand as Dreamstalker moves him towards Hypnos, who turns and runs in fear. 'That means you have to stop!' Hypnos calls out to the Hulk. 'Mother! Mother, where are you?' Hypnos cries out.
Back in Omnipotence City, 'She's concentrating on her shard, so we've got a moment' Wanda tells Monica, before remarking that she heard about the trick Monica used when she fought Shuma-Gorath, and explains that she can guide her this time. 'The glyphs? I can shape my light form, yes, but I can't work off just a description, can I?' Monica replies. 'Nor can I draw such exacting shapes blind. But if you transform into neural electricity -' Wanda begins, as Spectrum shifts to an energy form, '- maybe I can enter your mind and see your thoughts?' Monica concludes, before telling Wanda to brace herself, as this may hurt. Wanda screams as Monica's energy form enters her mind, and Wanda decides that “hurt” is an understatement – it is a seizure. Then, she hears Monica's voice in her head, calling out to her, as sigils light up with Monica's energy form. Wanda explains to Monica that she needs to copy the sigils she is picturing – copy them precisely.
Wanda remarks that this is a complex spell, requiring certain visual components, and she will only have a moment to cast it. Wanda tells the Vision and Hercules to be ready. Wanda is intrigued by Spectrum's new levels of power, and she knows the Vision well enough to guess what he is thinking – because he has wrestled with something similar the whole time she has known him: “If being like Spectrum can change form as easily as a thought...if one can leave flesh and blood behind...then how mich of their original humanity is left” Wanda quotes, deciding that this is a question for later, as she casts the spell thanks to the sigils being illuminated by Spectrum. 'By blood and bone of Ostrum... 'gainst enemy of night... turn black to gray, turn gray to gold... turn darkness into light!' Wanda exclaims, her spell works, as the dark bubble trapping the heroes vanishes. 'Forget Mother Night! Concentrate on her kids! Trust me!' Wanda tells her friends, as Spectrum emerges from Wanda's mind and speeds forward towards the Children of the Night.
The Vision blasts an energy beam towards Dolos, while Hercules rushes towards Oizys, and slams his fist into her, knocking the slithering creature across the room and into a bookcase, freeing Voyager from her grasp in the process. 'Apate, was it? Nasty work those knives. I imagine you and Dolos there are awfully formidable -' Spectrum begins as she flies towards Apate, dodging her knives. '- as long as you can lay a hand on your opponents!' the Vision points out as he grabs Dolos by his throat, Dolos tries to blow some mist-like substance at the Vision. 'Kill. Them' Nyx snarls as she turns to the chaos around her, while Hercules helps Voyager to stand, 'Friend Voyager, are you injured?' Hercules asks. Voyager coughs as she stands and tells Hercules that she is just shaken, before warning him to look out, as Oizys returns, and places her hands on Hercules' head, telling him to surrender, as he cannot win. 'Succumb' Oizys utters, as she pulls away from Hercules, whose muscular body shakes as he tells Oizys 'You traffic in – in despair – do you -? THEN YOU ARE A FOOL TO FACE A MAN WITH NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE!' Hercules roars as he grabs Oizys by her throat, and slams her into the ground, which shatters upon the force of the impact.
Because Wanda's blindness is linked to Nyx, she and her offspring are not altogether hidden from Wanda, who imagines the frustration Apate feels fighting Spectrum, an immaterial woman, who darts around Apate, who cannot touch her. She feels the solar energy that Vision, tapping dangerously deep into his reserve of power, unleashes against Dolos. Wanda believes that this is working, and that there is a reason she told the others to attack not Nyx but her children – they are providing any magician's greatest advantage – misdirection. Nyx holds the shard in her hand, while Wanda releases a hex, which causes the shard to slip from Nyx's grasp. 'NO!' Nyx utters, as Wanda rushes forward, she has no plan, only certainty that Nyx cannot have that which she seeks – and hope that Voyager is watching. 'WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?' Nyx shouts at Wanda, who dives for the shard, and catches it in her hand. 'Wanda! The shard!' Voyager exclaims, before opening a portal and telling Wanda to keep the shard safe, as Wanda leaps through the portal, who experiences a moment of weightlessness, then she feels herself falling, while Nyx reaches down to punch Wanda, only she misses, as Wanda has vanished.
'You odious little insect!' Nyx shrieks, turning to Voyager, shaking her fists, but before Nyx can harm Voyager, Oizys wraps herself around Voyager once more, and tells her mother that Voyager must tell them where she sent the fragment. Nyx looks away as she telepathically communicates with Hypnos, informing him that his siblings have failed her, that he must come to her, as she must have his shard now. 'Do you understand me? Come to me at once so that we may – HYPNOS!' Nyx gasps, wide-eyed, as her link to her son reveals to her that Hypnos has been captured by the Hulk, who holds a powerful arm around Hypnos' neck. 'Mother – I – I'm sorry. I – I tried -' Hypnos utters, while Dreamstalker stands behind the Hulk, green energy glowing around the mighty steed, as the Hulk mutters 'Yeah. You had a big day, little man. Now go to sleep' as he smiles and easily breaks Hypnos' neck.
'HYPNOSSSS!' Nyx screams. 'Enough of this' she utters, turning to the Vision, who still holds Dolos by his throat, while Hercules knocks Apate through the air. 'Mortals – you've no concept of how merciful I have been thus far!' Nyx calls out to the heroes, before telling them that this is their lesson, as she casts a shadow over Hercules and Vision, turning them to sand, they crumble to the ground as Voyager looks on, shocked. 'Oh...oh no...' Voyager utters.
Meantime: 'Where am – who? Stay back!' the Scarlet Witch calls out, hex energy darting around her hands, before someone throws a stone at her head, 'Ahh!' Wanda screams as her headpiece falls from her head. 'Beautiful and foolish' someone remarks, before someone else notices that she has some kind of crystal. 'I bet this'll be worth fair silver in the market!' someone seclares as they reach down into the sand and pick up the shard. Wanda rubs her headas several men gather around her, she tells them that they don't understand, and that she is lost. The sky above glows yellow as one of the men warns Wanda that she is lost and dead, now. 'Better luck in the next life!' another man calls out, when suddenly, 'Robbing a helpless wench? You Zamoran scum are all the same – yipping dogs looking for an easy meal!' a voice calls out. The men look over, and suddenly they find themselves fighting a new arrival.
Wanda crawls across the sand, she detects that the air is hot and humid. 'Feast on this, mongrel!' Wanda's savior declares as he smacks one of the men over. Wanda feels the sand between her fingers, and the choking sounds of violence. The stench of metal and sweat fills Wanda's senses, as the men are slammed to the ground, defeated. Wanda's head is ringing, while two remaining men turn and run for their lives across the sand. 'He can't catch us all!' one of them points out, while Wanda runs her hands through the sand, knowing she has to find the shard – suddenly, a figure stands in front of her. 'Rest now, woman. I will carry you... this Cimmerian has enough strength for both of us' Wanda's rescuer, Conan, boasts as he helps Wanda to her feet and pulls her next to his muscular body as his sword is raised, ready for battle, gleaming under the yellow sky....

'No! No! NOOOOOO!' screams Wanda Maximoff the Scarlet Witch, as her nightmare grows worse – she sees Nyx the Mother of Night turning Hercules and the Vision to dust. Wanda sits up, rubs her head under a star-filled Hyborian Age sky above her. 'Are you -' Conan the Barbarian asks as his hand grips his mighty sword hilt tight as Wanda screams, awakened by the visions that cut her to the core. 'No! I'm...I'm all right, Conan' Wanda assures the powerful warrior. The muscular Cimmerian has heard such cries before, a burning pain that erupts from within one's soul – he knows it well. There are no words of solace that he can give, so instead, he focuses on the immediate, looking at the wound in the back of Wanda's head, he tells her that it is still tender. 'It's probably a concussion...' Wanda supposes. 'A what?' Conan asks. 'Never mind' Wanda replies.
The sun begins to rise behind sand dunes miles away and Wanda remarks that they have traveled for three days, yet she senses that back in her world, mere moments have passed. Conan sheathes his sword and replies 'Wherever you come from, Red Witch, it lies out of reach'. Conan then stands on their fire, putting it out as he suggests that they should ride, as they will cover more ground before the heat rises.
When Conan found the blind sorceress, she was being ambushed by bandits. He slew a pair of her attackers, while the rest scattered like rats. Wanda told the Barbarian of the treasure stolen from her, worth more than anything a dozen merchant lords of Baalur could afford, so he agreed to help her get it back – in return for a half share of the fortune, of course. A powerful steed carries Wanda and Conan across the scorching land as Wanda informs Conan that once the shard is within their grasp, it is crucial that she does not look at it – not even for an instant. 'I thought you were blind' Conan replies. Wanda explains to him that, in a manner of speaking, her sight has been taken by a great evil, and that it is important this evil not see the shard through her eyes. 'Fair enough' Conan responds.
Conan knows that finding the bandits means crossing the Aranza Desert, a desolate plane of scorching sand. What few travelers they come across in their trek hew to two distinct ideologies – survivors, and savages – who Conan makes short work of, slaying them before they can harm Wanda or himself. But, there are other threats beneath the dunes as well – monsters – such as the enormous tentacled creature that rises up from the sand, and grabs Conan's horse as it's large jagged-tooth mouth grins at Wanda and Conan. This is just one of the many creatures from times long forgotten and lands long buried. 'That's right, clawed one – I am your prey' Conan calls out to the enormous creature, whose shadow engulfs Wanda in darkness. 'This Cimmerian-born will keep your gaze and carve your innards!' Conan boasts as he leaps over the one of the creature's tentacles, then up, onto the large creature's back, while Wanda fires a hex bolt at the creature's claw, freeing the horse. Conan knows that Wanda can hear the horse's cries, which guided her magic to its target.
'My companion may be blind, but you must be deaf – I said look at me!' Conan shouts at the creature as he plunges his sword into the creature's head, causing the beast to thrash about on the sand. 'Conan?' Wanda calls out. With his sword still in the creature's head, Conan calls back 'Ready your foul magics, Witch... and aim them toward the sound of my voice!' Wanda begins casting a hex  and replies that she will try, although she sounds hesitant. 'You will, woman, else we'll both end up sun-bleached skeletons in the middle of nowhere! Do it...' Conan declares, looking behind him as one of the creature's pincers reach down towards him. 'NOW!' Conan shouts as he removes his sword from the creature's back and leaps from it, as Wanda's hex sphere strikes the underside of the behemoth, which soon collapses onto the ground. 'Ha! A demonic bolt for a demonic beast! Well met, Wanda Earthborn' Conan remarks.
Later, night has fallen and Wanda and Conan sit opposite each other, a small fire warming them and providing light in the darkness. Conan leans back against the body of the horse and tells Wanda that the nomads who passed them earlier follow a predictable route, that they will have stopped for the night, so if they are careful, they can catch them and barter for one of their steeds. 'Barter? What do we have to trade?' Wanda asks. 'My steel or your beauty. Either way, they'll help uus or I'll cut them all down' Conan responds as he holds his sword with some meat on it over the flames of the fire. 'You can be quite cruel, Conan' Wanda utters. 'I am whatever Crom needs me to be to survive' Conan responds.
Wanda asks Conan who this “Crom” is, to which Conan informs her that Crom is the God of the Great Mountain, that he gives his people the power to strive and to slay. 'And you pray to him?' Wanda asks. Conan frowns as he replies that Crom doesn't need their prayers, and he would never ask. Wanda moves closer to Conan and asks him if this is his life – money and murder? 'It is now' Conan replies, keeping his eye on the meat at the end of his sword. 'But it was not always this way?' Wanda asks. Conan ignores the question, instead he hands some of the meat to Wanda and tells her to eat the horse meat while it is warm, and then they will be off.
Under daylight now, Conan leans against a tent as he watches Wanda, creating a magical illusion of horses which several travelers look at in awe. Conan notes how the Witch's enchantments dazzle the desert travelers. A deal is quickly struck, with no need for threats or thuggery. Two more days across wind-blasted sand stretching off toward the horizon, Conan and Wanda ride across the sands on the back of a camel, cloaks over their faces to shield them from the sandstorms. Conan knows that the bandits who stole the crystal could not have made it far, and soon enough, with pressure exerted in a manner the Cimmerian finds pleasing, a way forward reveals itself after Conan threatened a bandit by putting a dagger to his throat. Shortly, Wanda and Conan lay on the edge of a cliff and look down at a makeshift camp that the thieves have set up on the edge of the River. Wanda quietly tells Conan to go first and find the shard, and once he has hidden it from her sight, she will move in to assist him.
And thus, the swordsman and the sorceress prepare to steal back that which had already been stolen. As the walk into the camp, the stench of fresh blood fills their senses. The sound of wind rippling across torn tarps and loose fabric – it appears that the thieves had already been looted. Conan looks at a body on the ground, a crow already stalking it. 'It seems we're not the only ones searching for your precious treasure...' Conan tells Wanda, who asks 'Are they -' 'Dead? Indeed' Conan confirms. Conan goes over to one of the bodies and informs Wanda that their bandits fought men in red robes – and a flock of crows as well. 'A strange combination' Conan remarks, before noticing something. Wanda asks Conan if he has found something, to which Conan looks at a skull on the red cloak, and reports that he has seen this marking before. The man in the red robe suddenly stirs and reaches up to Conan, who knows that even though many years had passed, there are some symbols which refuse to fade – this stylized skull still burned like a butcher's brand in the Barbarian's mind.
'You serve the night-god' Conan declares as he grabs the man by his head. 'Eyes of midnight come for all of us...' the cultist utters. 'You know him?' Wanda asks. Conan tells her that he knows his ilk, and thus he knows where they have taken her crystal. 'Look there... her eyes like ink... such glory...' the cultist gasps as his body begins to crumble into shards. Conan stands up, 'Shadizar' Conan announces. He tells Wanda that it is a city of wicked wealth, bloody bounty and magic – rotten magic. He takes Wanda's hand and leads her onwards as a crow circles them. Conan reports that the city is a day's ride from here – provided the weather cooperates. 'You'll take me there?' Wanda asks. 'I said we'd get the shard, didn't I? A Cimmerian forges his promises like steel. Let's go' Conan tells Wanda.
Wanda's mind wanders back to her friends, and the nightmare of their demise still lingers. If she could open her eyes and see the light, she wonders if it would fade – but her gaze is ever dark and her future equally uncertain. The Barbarian is harsh, unyielding and clearly carrying a darkness of his own. They travel on the back of the camel, Wanda's cloak up  to protect her from the winds as Conan sits behind her. The sun rises and Conan holds Wanda close helping her to guide the camel as Wanda senses Conan would march through the gates of Hell itself before letting any harm befall her. Travel is a bond shared between the road and its passengers – replying on one another and the solace of the shared experience. They stop at a market where they are provided with water and fruit. Conan helps Wanda guide the canister of water to her mouth.
Later, they rest, as night begins  to fall. A sprawling city can be seen in the distance, but as he leans against the camel, Conan remarks that even though Shadizar beckons, they should wait until night falls completely before they enter. 'Won't that look suspicious?' Wanda asks as she sits cross-legged, meditating. Conan reveals that he is not welcome in the wicked city, so it is either entering under the cover of darkness – or not at all. 'I see' Wanda replies. Conan moves onto his side, lying down, he suggests Wanda rest while she can, as they will need their senses sharp tonight. Would that Wanda could rest and be at peace – but unresolved mattersstill twist deep within her mind – the fear that she would never see her friends or loved ones again – and the rage. But, Conan slumbers as well, and in his dream, he is an archer, walking through the ruins of a castle made of nightmares in a land made of nightmares. There is a nightmare in every stick, every stone – the nightmare is all around him. And the nightmare has a face. A demon's face.
Elsewhere, the place known simply as “Nightmare's Realm”, the Immortal Hulk sits facing the corner of a room, where the body of Nyx's son, Hypnos lies broken behind him. 'Oh. God' Clint Barton a.k.a. Hawkeye utters as he comes across Hypnos' body. 'You mean him? 'Cause that guy's not the god of anything anymore. Or did you mean me?' the Hulk grins  as he holds up one of the shards of Nyx's soul, and turns to Hawkeye, grinning. 'You... you killed him. Hypnos. You just snapped his neck...' Hawkeye exclaims, shocked.
Rocket Raccoon enters, perched on a piece of broken wall, as the Hulk jokes that he should have hid in a tree and shot Hypnos with an arrow while he was a 90-pound scientist. 'That's how a real Avenger does it, right?' he snarls at Hawkeye. 'Whatever. So somebody died and left a cool magic gem behind – happens every day' Rocket mutters, before asking how they make it work. 'Would Nightmare know, or -' Rocket begins, when suddenly, 'I would not' Nightmare announces as he appears behind Rocket, grinning, he makes Rocket jump with fear.
'What?' Nightmare asks, declaring that this realm is his again, he is always just behind anyone when they sleep. 'But as for this bauble... it is a power for the waking world. I only kept it as a bargain with Zeus' Nightmare remarks, adding that he fears the key to unlocking it died with him. 'You're overthinking it' the Hulk grins as he looks at his reflection in the shard. 'You don't untie the Gordian Knot. Andi don't bother with keys' the Hulk declares. Hawkeye moves closer to the Hulk, who holds the shard between his hands. 'Just think this through, okay? Think anout what you're doing...' Hawkeye utters. The Hulk tells Hawkeye that he is thinking about endless night. Endless night – and then the end of the human world.  'Know what I think about that?' the Hulk asks as he slowly shatters the shard, breaking it in two – and plunging Nightmare's realm into darkness.

Hawkeye, Rocket and Nightmare look in on shock, as dark bonds of energy spiral around the Hulk, who clenches his fists and declares that it is a good place to start. There is a god who lives on a great mountain. He is grim and savage and hates weaklings. It is useless to ask his aid, for he brings only doom to mankind. And in his dream, Conan knows this is his creature. A creature of Crom.
'Bruce!' Wanda gasps as she wakes from her nightmare. 'Demon!' Conan calls out as he wakes up, too. 'What was that, woman? Did you send that vsion into my head?' Conan asks, after witnessing the Hulk's scheme. 'No! I...I...' Wanda utters, hanging her head, she tells Conan that she is seeing another shard, and its power taken to feed a monster. Conan remarks that he saw that monster, and that he is strength incarnate – one of Crom's own dooms, set to punish mankind. Conan wipes a tear from Wanda's face and asks her if she has always seen such things from worlds beyond. Wanda tells Conan that she hasn't, but that the dark goddess who cursed her eyes connected her to the pieces of her broken soul. 'No soul survives this life intact' Conan utters. Wanda turns to face Conan and tells him that he has endured much pain and death. 'Yes. It is the way of things...' Conan replies as Wanda touches his face, and they lean in towards each other, ever closer, they almost lock their lips together, before Wanda whispers 'We can't.
Conan pulls away, as Wanda informs him that back home, there is someone – she can't. 'No. nor could I. In my heart, I am still...' his voice trails off and he turns away from Wanda, revealing that there was a pirate queen named Belit, that she was his, and he was hers. They built a life of passion and plunder set against the thunderous waves  of the Black Coast. 'And then?' Wanda asks. 'And then death, despair and a lesson' Conan responds as he looks up to the star-filled sky, and remarks that nothing will last, that all will be forgotten – and darkness always returns.
Behold, Shadizar. In the writings of the ancient Zamoran scribes, it is referred to as “The shining jewel upon the sands”. Lights glow from the city, and smoke rises from various fire places. It is said that the  ancient Zamorian scribes had a well-developed sense of humor. It is also said that to live in Shadizar, the Wicked City, you must keep four eyes in your head – two in front and two in back – and never close a one. Outside the massive walls that surround Shadizar, two guards stand in front of large doors. One of them yawns, when suddenly, sand rises up around them, and blows in their eyes. 'Really? Yours as well? What are the odds of that, eh?' the other guard replies as they both cover their eyes, enabling Conan and Wanda to run past them.
'We're through the gates, thanks to your sorcery. But not out of danger yet' Conan remarks as they walk down a busy market area, Conan informs Wanda that his face is well known to the night worshippers. 'It's not just them we need to worry about' Wanda points out, reminding Conan that her enemy can see through her eyes, and that she is looking for the shard. 'If she sees it, she comes to get it. And then we die' Wanda utters, while Conan watches a man who is standing nearby in the shadows.
Shortly, Conan and Wanda enter the merchant's quarters. Conan searches the signs above the storefronts for the symbols of a particular trade. He looks for the mortar and pestle, the star-in-circle, the sign of five – the mark of magic. 'Unless we block her view...' Wanda remarks, before they walk into a store, a little bell above the door dings, and Conan informs the merchant that his friend is under a curse, that they need something to hide her from sorcerous sight. The bald man with a snake symbol across his forehead 'Say no more, friend. I've an adept's cloak with the right properties. A fine piece, though. Hard to part with...for less than fifty gold' the merchant smirks. 'Ten' Conan frowns. 'Ten? You're murdering me where I stand! Forty' the merchant replies. 'I will murder you where you stand' Conan snaps, before offering the merchant fifteen gold. 'Do wereally have time for -' Wanda begins, before the merchant raises his hand and announces 'Thirty-five. And not a groat lower. Under torture'. 'I know some dark tortures' Conan warns the merchant, before offering him twenty gold. 'Thirty. Final offer. And I mean that' the merchant replies. 'Spread my entrails for the Crow Cult, I'll still not -' he begins, before Conan tells him to wait. 'Crow Cult?' Conan enquires.
'Oh, you know – the night-god worshippers. Local religion' the merchant replies as he opens a cupboard and removes a cloak from it. 'Used to be a Bat cult, but then someone killed the bat' the merchant remarks. 'So, thirty is it?' he asks Conan. 'For the cloak – and information – where in town I might find this Crow Cult?' Conan asks, telling the merchant that he seems like a man who knows such things. The merchant places the cloak on the counter and boasts that he does know things, but tells Conan that if he is wise, he will stay away. 'I'd hate to send you both off to die' the merchant remarks. 'Especially in as fine a cloak as this one' he adds. Conan holds the cloak and agrees that it is fine, before asking which part has the magic in it. 'See the edging? Every rune on that – hand-stitched by master mages north of Messantia' the merchant explains, revealing that it will block out scrying pools, crystal balls and even the vision of the gods. Suddenly, Conan tears the cloak down the middle, to the shock of the merchant. The cloak is now a long piece of cloth, and Conan hands it to Wanda, instructing her to tie it around her eyes. The merchant reminds Conan that it is thirty for the cloak – but sending them to die, he will throw in for free.
Conan leads Wanda down a darkened staircase, and even with the merchant's information, their search takes them through the night. Shadizar's underbelly concealed more than one sacrificial chamber – as the Cimmerian learned all too well over the years. Wanda reports that she hears voices ahead, but doesn't understand the language. With the cloth covering her eyes, Wanda tells Conan to stop for a moment, then she can perform the same translation enchantment that she used on him. 'Don't bother' Conan replies as he rounds a corner, and sees several cultists wearing large crow masks, standing around a raised platform where a blonde woman is shackled. Several real crows fly around the chamber. Conan tells Wanda that all that matters is that the cultists be stopped, and quickly, before their ceremony takes the life of a helpless girl. 'This is not the time for words' he remarks, before one of the cultists raises the stolen shard overhead, and calls out to Ma'kannta, God of the Talon, calling the shard the “ebon key”, he declares that they present it to him, throbbing with eldritch power. 'Too long have the bastard children of the Akah Ma'at been forced to hide' the cult member exclaims, beseeching the god to protect them from their enemies as they reclaim the skies over Shadizar. 'Let us pray!' he cries out.
And, the cultists do, with a skull-piercing sound that strikes like a fist to the senses. As one, the wretched avian-worshippers emit a deafening shriek, a caw, a keening reminiscent of nothing other than flint scraping bone. 'Do they have the fragment?' Wanda asks as she and Conan cover their ears. Wanda reminds Conan that he must retrieve it without letting her see it, or else the Night Queen will home in on them in an instant. 'Oh my God, that sound!' Wanda gasps, before Conan grabs his sword and rushes forward, pointing out that at least this way they will not hear his approach over their clatter. He instructs Wanda to stay here, 'But -' Wanda protests, while Conan declares that he has had enough eldritch filth for one day. 'Let this be done with sinew and steel!'
The leader of the Crow Cult raises the shard above the trapped blonde woman, as a crow perches on her legs. 'Ma'kannta, with this key we unlock the prison that has so unjustly kept you from us, your faithful! We summon thee in blood and -' the cult leader begins, before an expression of shock fills his face, as he looks down to his chest and sees Conan's sword plunged into him. The cultist drops the shard, which falls to the woman chained before him. 'No!' Conan shouts, and although the shard misses the woman's heart, a cut is still made when it strikes her wrist, spilling forth a sliver of crimson blood. A slither is enough, as a seal around the avian god is cracked, and two large sets of talons drop down from above, jolting out from some demonic realm all but forgotten – the deific beast shrieks and fans the flames of pandemonium. There is no retreat, only combat – and the mettle of a warrior born. 'Away with you, shadow of death!' Conan roars as he slices several talons from the god creature, before turning his attention to the Crow Cult, 'Away with you all, gods or monsters!' he shouts, knocking the cultists backwards. 'Surrender to the savage sword of Conan!' the mighty warrior declares.
'Conan!' Wanda calls out, while telling herself that she must do something, even if she has to blindly cast a hex. 'Help!' the blonde woman calls out, as she rushes over to Wanda and exclaims 'Whoever you are, please help! They tried to kill me! I have to get away!' Wanda tells her that she will try, to which the blonde woman offers to pay her, and hands her the shard, 'Take this! It's their treasure!' the blonde woman explains, placing the shard in Wanda's hand. Although Wanda's eyes are bound against magic, the touch of the shard called The Night That Is upon her skin causes Wanda's stomach to suddenly lurch – for there is more than one way to see. 'NO!' Wanda gasps as energy radiates around her, and a force knocks both Wanda and the other woman against a wall, causing Wanda to drop the shard.
The remaining cult members are tossed about by the strange force, too. 'What madness?' Conan wonders, while one of the cult members calls out to their god, only for a sword to slice their head off. There is a terrible sound above, and blood begins to rain down from where the god creature hovers above. Wanda protects herself from the weapons that are hurtling around the chamber by throwing a force field around herself and calls out to Conan, telling him that they have to run before it is too late. But it already is, as Conan frowns, a portal opens, and from it steps Nyx, the Queen of the Night, with three of her children, Apate, Dolos and Oizys, who has Voyager trapped within her slithering form. Cult members lay dead at Nyx's feet as she grins and declares that she has done them a favor – freeing them from the misguided burden of worshipping anything but her. 'Your allies put up a fine struggle, you simpering shrew...but for all their supposed might, Hercules and his Avengers could not stop me. What chance do you two have?' Nix asks as Conan and the Scarlet Witch move towards her ready for another fight....

Untitled
Shadizar, the Hyborian Age, where Conan the Barbarian stands with Wanda Maximoff the Scarlet Witch who is currently blind, a magic cloth wrapped across her eyes. Cult members lay dead at their feet, while a female sacrifice stands behind Conan.
'No!' Wanda gasps as Nyx, the Queen of Night hovers above them, with her children Dolos and Apate at her side, and her daughter Oizys floating nearby, the heroic Voyager trapped in Oizys' snake-like form. 'I believe this is mine' Nyx remarks as she reaches out for one of the shards of her soul that floats before her. 'Come to me, shard of my soul. Teach me how to unlock you. To take back the power Zeus stole' Nyx utters. Nyx smiles, as she looks down at the Scarlet Witch and wonders what to do with her for causing so much trouble – feed her to Oizys, her youngest child? 'Or give you to the -' Nyx begins, before a blinding light appears, and she is forced to shield her eyes.
From within the blinding light, Monica Rambeau a.k.a. Spectrum thinks of how she doesn't sleep at night any more – but still has dreams. Mental pictures, vivid thoughts she can't quite shake off. Sometimes, she thinks about all the light in the universe, all those rays and waves and particles, all on their infinite journeys – and wonders if they are like her. If they used to be human. Spectrum used to be human, but isn't anymore. She is sentient radiation – anything on the electromagnetic spectrum and a few things around it. Like gamma rays and neutrinos and electricity. Visible light, too – and she can shape that light, make it a hologram of anyone she has ever seen. Or two anyones.
' - the twins' Nyx finishes her sentence as she turns to Apate and Dolos, who suddenly vanish, replaced by the android Vision and the mighty Hercules. 'Conan? What's happening?' the confused Wanda asks, but as he grits his teeth and looks up at the events unfolding before him, Conan admits that he doesn't know. The Vision flies over to Hercules and grabs the god before he falls to the ground below, while the blinding light around them begins to take form, the shell of living light that disguises her friends as her enemies so well that even their mother did not notice. 'What...what are you...?' the confused Nyx asks, shielding her eyes still, while Monica thinks to herself that she hasn't even been a light-being for a decade yet, and wonders what she is going to be at the end of a millennium? 'I'm Monica Rambeau. Spectrum, if you're nasty' Monica tells Nyx.
Spectrum drops to the ground, thinking that she never used to worry about that, but now, well, if she had known Nyx's big entrance would kill all these death cultists, she would have made her move sooner, tried to prevent that. But now that it has happened, she is just waiting – for the right moment to avenge them. 'But if you live – then – what about -' Nyx utters, wide-eyed, '- my children -' she gasps, as Monica waits for Nyx to realize what she did when she thought she was killing her friends. The realization hits. Nyx visualizes her twin children being torn apart by her own powers. 'No! Demon – I will destroy you – you made me -' Nyx utters, clenching her fists, while Oizys lurks up behind her mother. Spectrum thinks that Nyx attacks in anger, without thinking, and leaves herself open – a mother's pain, which she has turned into a strategy. 'I didn't make you do anything' Spectrum declares, while admitting to herself that sometimes she doesn't like how hard she has become. Hard as radiation.
'And you brought this on yourself!' Monica shouts as she flies towards Nyx. Monica has been thinking about this, a potential magic bullet – if she blended ultraviolet, visible and infrared light, she can match the sun's output exactly – to become the light of day. A yellow glow radiates around her and shines down on Nyx, 'Sunlight? You use sunlight against me?' Nyx utters, before boasting that she is not some vampire who wilts at the light of s single star. Nyx points out that the night holds a thousand stars, and the moon, in their midst – that reflects the light and lessens it. Nyx raises a moon-like force field, which Monica slams into and falls backwards. Monica is annoyed, and reminds herself that she has spent the last few years fighting cosmic threats, the Beyond Corporation, space gods armed with science beyond science – but this is magic, not science. 'Monica -' the Vision utters as Spectrum falls past him. 'Her gambit failed – we must not! Into the fray!' Hercules shouts, while Monica realizes that she doesn't know the rules – or even if there are any.
Meantime, in Nightmare's Realm, Nightmare himself sits on his throne and declares that this has been fun, but he doesn't enjoy having guests over – he prefers victims – so it is time Hawkeye, the Hulk and Rocket Raccoon left. He tells them that with his powers restored, he can open a portal anywhere in the waking world, he can put them where they need to be – and in return, his debt to them is canceled. 'Yes?' he asks. 'Groovy. Put us inside the vault at Granx's Gambling Palace on Satyricon VI' Rocket replies. Rocket tells Hawkeye and Hulk that he will cut the alarms from the inside, then for the getaway they just need pliers, a little hydrogen sulfide and a pair of fake ears. 'You can rob casinos on your own time, Rocket' Clint Barton a.k.a. Hawkeye frowns, folding his arms. Hawkeye announces that they need to find Wanda and the others. 'So wherever they've gone, that's where we're -' Clint begins, before Dr Bruce Banner a.k.a. the Immortal Hulk announces 'Euphoria'.
'Huh?' Clint asks, turning to the Hulk, who explains that Euphoria is a sentient world, treats everyone real nice, makes their dreams come true and is a fun place to visit. 'Any objections?' he asks. 'You... want to go on vacation? Now?' Clint asks. Rocket agrees that he could take a break, and points out that it has been a tough couple of days. 'Anywhere that ain't a Nightmare dimension would be great, if I'm honest...' Rocket adds.
A portal opens behind the heroes as Nightmare tells Hawkeye that it looks like he is outvoted. 'Euphoria it is – sounds ghastly. Off you go' Nightmare declares. 'Unbelievable Hawkeye mutters, before rubbing the back of his head and announcing that he is in. He taps Hulk on the back and remarks that he doesn't know how Hulk knows about this Euphoria place, but that he does know the Hulk's look – and his look is telling him that the Hulk has got plans. 'And when I find out what they are? I won't need a special gamma arrow to put you down' Hawkeye boasts. Hulk grins and mutters that they are having fun already.
'This is getting serious' Spectrum thinks to herself, admitting that any hope they had of keeping this fight quick and contained using speed and surprise to their advantage is long gone now. Suddenly, one of the outer walls of the sprawling Shadizar complex is thrust open in the heat of battle. 'When gods battle, it's always a mess' Monica thinks to herself, as the Scarlet Witch is knocked out of the gaping hole in the palace, she falls out into the night sky. 'Don't worry, Wanda – I've got you!' Spectrum exclaims as she darts out into the night and grabs Wanda, realizing that she is still blind. 'Monica? I heard your voice, but didn't know what was happening' Wanda calls out. As Spectrum carries Wanda down to the ground, Wanda asks her if the others are with her and whether the Vision is okay. Spectrum tells Wanda that the Vision is still ticking, if that's what she means, but they are all a bit crispy around the edges right now. Spectrum notices the quiver in Wanda's voice as she asks about her ex-husband. Monica decides that whatever the current situation, there is still something there.
Spectrum sets Wanda down and thinks to herself that her friend has been through so much, and laments the fact that she wasn't there to help her through any of it. 'I need you to stay here while I -' Monica begins, but Wanda tells her that she is not waiting around while the rest of them fight. Monica sees that Wanda is bristling with anger, and realizes that in the past, she would have felt guilty for not listening to her. 'I'm an Avengers, Monica! Don't sideline me!' Wanda exclaims as crimson energy glows around her. Monica takes to the sky, leaving Wanda on the ground, deciding that leaving her here is just strategy, she tells Wanda that  they can't risk it. 'No!' Wanda protests. Monica wonders if this is the two of them growing apart, or the first sign of something worse. She wonders over a thousand years who else she will grow apart from – everyone? Herself? Is that just what happens?
Spectrum watches Hercules fight Nyx, who grabs him by the throat, and reminds herself that Hercules is immortal, too – but that his humanity is the stuff of legends. 'Blood will be paid for what you've done, Night Witch!' Hercules threatens Nyx. 'So is it just me?' Monica asks herself, while Hercules declares that he will not yield. 'In times past, I believed physical confrontation was beneath me. But I was wrong, half-god' Nyx declares, clutching the shard of her soul with one hand, she smiles as she tells Hercules that slaying Zeus was a visceral thrill – and killing him will be just as good – but as she raises the shard to use it as a knife, she doesn't get the chance to bring it down against Hercules, as Spectrum blasts her electromagnetic form through Nyx's body, causing the Night Witch to fall backwards and drop the shard. Nyx then screams as crimson energy surrounds her. 'Wanda?' Monica thinks to herself, as the Scarlet Witch appears and declares 'I'm not helpless, dammit...' as Spectrum catches Hercules before he falls to certain doom. 'Well caught' Hercules tells Spectrum, instructing her to swing back around and launch him toward the Night Queen so that he may pummel her into dark dust!
Nearby, the Vision is holding up a large slab of the broken wall of the palace. Some circuits are on the fritz, and he realizes that his system is unstable, that phase cycle is intermittent. The Vision looks over to where some civilians are trapped under some nearby rubble, and tells himself that the suggested course of action is to cut and clear debris in sections. He shuffles towards the woman pinned beneath a pillar, while her son tries to help her. 'A monster! Stay away!' the boy shouts. The Vision tells him not to be afraid, and as he uses a powerful beam to start to cut away at the pillar, the Vision quotes “O thou monster ignorance, how deformed dost thou look...” when suddenly, 'WHAT IN HELL'S NAME ARE YOU?' a voice booms. The Vision turns in the direction the voice – it's Conan, who smashes an axe against the Vision's face, cutting part of the android Avenger open.
'Some kind of steel devil?' Conan asks, warning the Vision that, whatever he is, he will go no farther. They struggle as the Vision turns to face Conan, and asks him to save the trapped people. Conan looks over at them as he raises his axe again – only to drop it as Monica bursts through his body in her electromagnetic form. Monica wonders if she is growing apart from everyone, losing what human is – but she has a way to go yet, because she is not this idiot Conan. 'What the hell did you do!?' Monica shouts as she emerges from Conan and goes over to the Vision. 'Witches, golems and now spirits! Are there any here that can be wounded by a man's blade? Is it only those I loved who can die?' Conan asks. He looks at Spectrum and tells her that Belit lies in her grave, and she and a wizard's spawn make a mockery of them all.
'That's enough!' Monica exclaims as she goes over to Conan. She points up at Nyx, who once again holds the shard of her soul in her hand and informs Conan that she is the target – and if they don't stop her, they all die.
Spectrum goes over to the Vision and touches his head, informing him that she is juicing up his arrays with pure solar energy, and asks him if he can initiate a self-repair. 'I will try' the Vision's broken form responds. Conan stands up and holds his axe, as hev asks Spectrum to forgive him, explaining that there is grief in his heart – a weakness that makes the whole world seem his foe. 'Would I had met my dearest foe in Heaven or ever I had seen that day...” the Vision quotes. Spectrum decides that treating Wanda like glass and letting King Macho run amok means her leadership skills are definitely rusty. Monica thinks that getting Nyx angry was a good move though, as it is keeping her focused on them, not the shard – of course, that anger could also get them killed, she realizes. 'Or worse' Monica decides, as she sees Nyx examining a crack in the shard – where a dark power begins to flow from.
'Of course' Nyx declares, as Spectrum realizes that the shard is a container for the power inside – whoever destroys the shard breaks open the container – they get the power. But Monica sees this a second after Nyx did, because despite everything, she still reacts like a person, while Nyx reacts like a god. Spectrum hurls herself towards Nyx, who calls out to Voyager, controlling Voyager, who opens a portal that Spectrum flies into, and then out of another portal behind Nyx. 'Hell of a way to learn the price' Monica tells herself as Nyx smiles and shatters the shard. 'This feels magnificent! It steels me. It restores my senses! It binds me to the other fragments. It – it - ' Nyx announces as the dark energy swirls around her, and some sort of floating house appears in front of her – a vision, perhaps. Monica sees Nyx looking at something, 'What is it? What did you see?' she calls out as she flies towards Nyx, who smirks and tells her 'You'll never know' as she spins around and grabs Spectrum by her neck. 'You're only human' Nyx declares as Spectrum screams when Nyx slams her head against a slab of concrete.
'No more need for you. I'll find my own way from here!' Nyx snarls at Voyager, tossing her into another slab of rubble, which she hits hard. Nyx turns to Wanda, Hercules and the Vision and declares that there is no need for loose ends, either. 'AVENGERS -' Hercules begins to shout, before the three Avengers find themselves attacked by humanoid creatures of pure darkness. Nyx walks over to the Scarlet Witch, who is held back by one of the creatures, 'You still have a bit of my magic in you, don't you?' Nyx remarks as the creature pulls the magic cloth around Wanda's eyes away. 'I'll take that back' Nyx announces as she raises a hand towardsWanda's eyes and draws her magic back out, causing Wanda to scream in the process. A portal opens behind Nyx who turns to Oizys and tells her to be a good girl and clean up for mother while she runs her next errand. 'With pleasure' Oizys responds. Wanda attempts to cast a hex, but Nyx vanishes. There is a blinding light as Spectrum wakes, she gets to her feet, holding herself against a wall. 'Monica!' the Vision shouts, while Spectrum tells him to help Voyager.
The Vision turns to Wanda and ask her if she is hurt. Wanda looks at her hands and explains that she was in agony for a moment, but that she is better, is no longer blind, though she isn't sure that is a blessing, as she looks over and sees Oizys feeding off a little boy nearby. 'she's feeding off innocent people!' Wanda calls out, as Oizys holds a boy by his hand, while uttering 'And from their despair...a champion'. 'What form of champi-' Hercules begins, when Conan suddenly interrupts him, and shouts 'Whatever misbegotten monster you choose to hide behind – I swear by Crom that I shall strike it dead!' But suddenly, a look of horror spreads across his face, 'Ah yes, the dead...' Oizys utters. 'One of the dead calls out for your blood! Your blood!' and suddenly, Conan falls backwards as a ghostly figure drops down on him and plunges a dagger into his muscular chest... 'Belit?' the shocked Conan gasps.

'You want to see my creation? Come this way please – and I will show you everything!' a voice announces as patterns take shape, and in a seeming nothingness, the android Avenger takes form. His binary-code thoughts are replaced by words, as he announces that he is the Vision, that he is whole, his core degeneration has halted, and all cognitive and physical functions have been restored. But he isn't sure how. He remembers hearing a voice, and the house. 'The house' a voice calls out. 'Eh?' the Vision utters, turning, he sees Nyx, Goddess of the Night standing over him, ascended now to her full power as a primal aspect. 'And I am only myself...' the Vision tells himself, while Nyx declares that the house is the dwelling space of the fundamental creative force of this reality, the one above all others. 'The ultimate force of creation lives on Long Island?' the Vision asks. Nyx explains that the house has many doors and that humanity has always been essential to the work, before asking him what he, as an android, would know of such things.
'I heard a voice. An old voice...' the Vision responds as the landscape around him changes, darkness overcomes it, and the Vision finds himself standing in a field. Nyx tells the Vision that this is an echo from a time long past, but there is a new world coming – a new creation – her creation – reality remade in her image. 'A cosmos of eternal night – as it should always have been. Beautiful and silent...but for the chirp of the crickets...and soft breezes under the moon' Nyx adds. The Vision asks her if she would overwrite creation in creation's own house – and points out that some would call that hubris. 'Am I not playing out the role that was written? Will creation deny what it set in motion?' Nyx asks, adding that there have been many endings, and this will be another. 'Your world of heroes isn't special' she tells the Vision, who smiles as he tells Nyx that he disagrees, and remarks that he thinks his role here is to save it.
'You?' Nyx asks, surprised. 'How can you stop me? How can you do anything but watch?' Nyx enquires, boasting that she is mankind's first darkness, that she is midnight and moonrise, she is a  primal being, greater than gods. 'What are you?' she asks the Vision, who looks up at Nyx as her form increases in size, and tells her that he is a synthetic man and nothing more, adding that he has heard stories – and been a part of them. The Vision informs Nyx that his database contains the Avengers files – a history of ever hero, every marvel who ever fought against darkness – and here, in this house of ideas, he finds himself wondering – how would they stop her? The Vision admits that at first he thought it odd, a house with no windows, but that isn't accurate, as stories are windows, and here, where all stories are born, they are infinite in number. The Vision raises a finger, and “draws” in the nothingness, and tells Nyx that all one need do to make them appear, is imagine them.
Four heroes appear – Wiccan, Kamala Khan, the Winder Soldier and Ironheart, they race towards Nyx, who smiles, 'Trickery' she utters as she lets darkness rise up around them. The Vision tells Nyx that this  is power, and possibility, as he brings forth more heroes – Captain Marvel, Miles Morales, Arsenic and Old Lace, Chase Stein, Karolina Dean and Nico Minoru. The Vision looks over to a blank space, and asks Nyx what fills this space – she doesn't know, for she is only capable of imagining only one thing – a Multiverse built around herself. 'The ultimate creation' she boasts while fending off the hero constructs that challenge her. 'Hardly' the Vision replies as he creates several more heroes – Cable, Deadpool, Bishop and Gambit, who race into the battle. 'Creation comes from light, not darkness' the Vision states. He adds that darkness is an ending – it is the shuttering of ideas. More heroes appear, Cloak, Dagger, Cannonball and Elektra, as the Vision boasts that light is the beginning. Another group of heroes emerges. Shadowcat and Lockheed, She-Hulk and the original Spider-Woman.
The Vision states the light is an inspiration, and that there is light within the human spirit. 'Forever mightier than your narcissism, your cynicism' the Vision explains as several more heroes – Wolverine, Nightcrawler, Nova and Moon Knight – arrive, joining the others as they fight hard against Nyx, who appears to struggle to keep them at bay. 'Never' Nyx cries out, defiantly. 'Always' the Vision responds, as fire begins to glow around him. More heroes still appear – Man-Thing, Iron Fist, Luke Cage, Adam Warlock and Ghost Rider. 'You planned to impose your own rules upon our reality. But that plan had a fundamental flaw. This reality isn’t about rules. It's about flying!' the Vision exclaims, as Silver Surfer, the Black Panther, Falcon, Daredevil and the Black Widow drop down from above. More flames begin to engulf the Vision, as the original X-Man – Jean Grey, Iceman, Angel, Cyclops and Beast appear, and the Vision tells Nyx that it is about finding and fanning the spark of courage in the darkest of nights.
As the constructs of the original X-Men rise up against the frustrated Nyx, they are joined by Iron Man and Dr Strange, and the Vision tells the Goddess of Night, that they cannot win here, that she is playing against the House. 'THE HOUSE OF IDEAS!' the Vision shous as several more heroes arrive – Spider-Man, Thor, Ant-Man, the Sub-Mariner, the Wasp, Thing, Invisible Woman, the Human Torch and Mr Fantastic. The heroes force Nyx down, she shrinks, and again when an optic blast strikes her, smaller again as She-Hulk punches her in her stomach. 'The Fantastic. The Astonishing. The Amazing!' the Vision calls out. 'Marvels' the vision states as Captain America slams his fist into Nyx's face. 'I was so close – so close' Nyx utters, looking over to see that the Vision now resembles the android Human Torch. 'Their fire, their light, is that of unfettered imagination – and there is no darkness – not from the dawn of time to its entropic end – that can withstand its glory!' the Vision exclaims as he hovers over Nyx, who reaches out to touch the Vision, but when he connects with her, she begins to burn.
The flames wash over Nyx as she tells the Vision that he thinks he has won, that his fire can burn her away forever and calls him a fool, for she is the other side of his bright story. Her bones begin to break, as Nyx is reduced to ash, 'And I. Always. Will b-' Nyx utters, before she is gone. 'Then I can only pity you' the Vision remarks, smiling, he hopes that someday Nyx will know the resplendence of the light that binds all life will, that it will not be extinguished. 'And neither will I. Not today' the Vision decides.
Reality beckons once more, and the Vision emerges from the House of Ideas to find Hercules, Wanda Maximoff the Scarlet Witch, Monica Rambeau a.k.a. Spectrum and Clint Barton a.k.a. Hawkeye waiting for him. 'Vision, you're...you're alive!' Wanda utters, walking over to the Vision. Voyager joins them as they gather around the Vision, as Hercules asks him what happened beyond that door of powers, and where Nyx is. 'Her darkness was rejected by the light within' Vision explains. 'Hold on, are you saying that an evil god was defeated by a house?' Hawkeye asks. 'Not “a” house, Clint. “The” House' the Vision smiles. A street light glows above the heroes, as Voyager points out that night has its place in proper balance set against the light. The Vision motions to he light above them and agrees with Voyager, remarking that the Dark Queen may return, but not at this juncture. Wanda tells the Vision that in all her years, she has never felt such power, and asks him what he saw in there. 'It was, forgive the term, quite a vision' the Vision smiles, putting a hand on Wanda. They then hug, as the Vision adds that he saw the light of pure possibility – the glorious illumination they call “hope”. Voyager, Hawkeye, Wanda, the Vision, Spectrum and Hercules all look towards the rising sun.
News reports begin coming in: 'We're back with breaking news –' '- power restored all over the world -', '- getting reports of sunrise on the East Coast – as well as full daylight in South America, Africa, Europe – and everywhere else it should be'. The news reporter personally thanks whichever heroes helped get the day back, and indeed, around the world and throughout the universe, the light has returned.
At Avengers Mansion, the Black Panther is communicating with the Blue Marvel, 'No, Dr Brashear – not my team either. But I suspect we'll find the Avengers played some hand in it' he remarks, before asking him ow things are at his end. In Germany, the Blue Marvel fights alongside America Chavez, Dr Toni Ho and Hulkling as he tells the Black Panther that the Neohedron and the Technocracy have teamed up to end humanity again – nothing they can't handle. Neohedron moves towards the heroes, holding a large weapon, he tells the Blue Marvel that they are bold words, and boasts that his crystal mind foresees every move his team can make – when suddenly, someone calls out 'Oh, shut up' and a powerful surge of energy strikes him down.
The energy takes shape, as the Blue Marvel and America Chavez look up to see Spectrum standing nearby. 'Monica?' the Blue Marvel calls out. 'In the flesh. Literally' Monica replies as she reverts to her human form. Monica reveals that she burned out most of her power keeping the Vision alive and helping him reach...somewhere. Monica announces that she is not some immortal light being anymore, that she is human again, flesh and blood and she has limits. Monica tells Adam that she wants to stay this way, if she can. That she wants to be human, have human things – like a family. 'Even if...even if that means you and me, we're not compatible or...' her voice trails off as Adam puts his face against hers and tells her that he loves her, and is not going to stop loving her whatever happens – that they will work it out. '... Yeah' Monica smiles. 'We'll work it out'.
In Michigan, the sun hovers high in the sky as Bruce Banner trudges down a long, empty street. He pauses and looks up at the sun, frowning, he utters 'Have you ever suffered?' before he carries on down the street.
The Ricochet, an intergalactic dive bar in continuous orbit around Voort-3, Rocket Raccoon enters, and heads straight towards a seat at the bar, where a Shi'ar sits several seats down from him. 'Where'd you come from?' a green-skinned alien behind the bar asks. 'Originally, or just now?' Rocket responds. 'Y'know what? It don't even matter' the bartender replies. 'That's right. It don't' Rocket  replies, before sighing and asking the bartender if they ever get the feeling no one is going to appreciate you no matter what you do. 'Constantly. It sucks' the bartender replies while drying a glass. Rocket exclaims that this whole thing started because they assumed he was a thief. 'Were you?' the bartender asks. 'Not this time!' Rocket replies. He looks at his reflection in a glass and explains that he was on Earth just returning stuff, putting it all back where it belonged – that was the plan, to settle his debts and get things back to zero. 'Make things right before...' his voice trails off as he holds his glass up to make a toast, 'Aw, what the hell! Here's to being an Avenger...guess I can cross that one offa my bucket list!' he smirks.
In Los Angeles, California, the Vision and Hawkeye sit opposite Wanda and her partner, Doctor Voodoo, in a diner, as Doctor Voodoo remarks that it is unfortunate Voyager was unable to stay, as it would have been nice to see her again. The Vision explains that Voyager was needed elsewhere, but indicated that she would try to visit them under less dire circumstances in the future. 'That's the problem with teleporters and magic types – you never know when they're pop up and tell you everything is crumbling... again' Hawkeye declares. 'So you'd rather not be warned about cataclysmic evil?' Wanda smiles at her friend, who tells her that it is fine, but he wants to finish his coffee before they fight for the universe. Doctor Voodoo turns to Wanda and asks her how Hercules is faring after these traumatic events. Wanda tells him that she understands Hercules returned to Olympus to bury the dead and gather some mementos. 'If they are indeed dead...' the Vision remarks. 'You saw Olympus, Vizh. It was a slaughterhouse' Hawkeye reminds the Vision, who points out that the Gods of Olympus are more than just physical bodies, that they are potent myths woven into their collective reality – and he doesn't believe this universe is ready to let them go yet!
And, in a space beyond space, energy crackles through a large sphere – and a sprawling, floating city materializes with a mighty KRA-KOOOMM. '... the wheel... has turned. Zeus and his people are born again. Born anew. And let the stars tremble!' the mighty Zeus declares, as he stands in the floating city, energy crackling around his now blue skin.
Doctor Voodoo notes the way the Vision is speaking about reincarnation and gods and tells him that if he didn't know any better, he would almost think he had found a bit of faith. The Vision isn't sure that “faith” is the right word, and explains that he was prepared to die to find his humanity, and instead it was found through a need  for life. The Vision looks out the diner window and tells the others that he is not “human” per se, but he now knows that he is the creation of a creator, and that the end of his story has yet to be told – and that it something worth believing in. Wanda announces that Rocket and the Hulk disappeared, as did the man called “Conan”. Doctor Voodoo turns to Wanda and reminds her that she said he saved her life. 'Yes...' Wanda replies, her hat obscuring her eyes, Wanda brings her drink to her mouth and smiles as she states that Conan was a murderer and a vagabond, but that he followed a code of honor – and even still, wherever he is now, she certainly wouldn't want to get in his way.
Elsewhere, Conan groans as he shoves a makeshift spear into the eye of a very large crocodile, blood splattering everywhere. 'You thought yourself worthy of my flesh, long-jaw. But my bite was deeper' Conan utters, as he collapses next to the slain beast. The muscular warriors gets to his feet and remarks that the beast's mear will sustain him. 'Ponder that  while you cook on my spit and sit in my stomach' Conan utters. He looks at the dense jungle that surrounds him and decides that it feels good to drive a stake into something and see it die as it should. He adds that he has had enough of cursed witches, crazed golems and dark gods for a lifetime. 'I have simple needs. Give me something sharp and a foe  to find it, and then -' Conan begins, when a loud rumbling gets his attention. He looks over to a clearing and sees a mighty tyranosaurus rex looming above him. Conan grins, 'That will do' he utters deep within the Savage Land.
In space, specifically, the Far Shore, Voyager grins as she steps through a portal, 'Uncle, I have returned!' she calls out, asking her uncle if he was watching her. She boasts that she was a real Avenger this time, and together, they saved the universe. 'It was exhausting and glorious and -' Voyager begins, her smile suddenly to a look of concern, as she finds the shackles that kept the Challenger imprisoned have been broken – and he is nowhere in sight. 'Challenger... where have you gone?' Voyager gasps.
One Year from now:
A glittering space station floats in darkness. '...I was a dead man until you and your people showed up. Seriously' a voice calls out. In one part of the space station, numerous aliens lay defeated and confused. I mean, this rock's got to be the hideout for every bandit in seven systems. And I'm here on my own? Talk about being a long way from home, am I right?' a young, blue-skinned Nova Corps officer remarks, clutching the bandages around his chest and stomach. 'I wouldn't know. Everywhere's my home' the new arrival to the space station replies. 'Yeah? So, uh...not that I'm complaining after you saved my life...but what were you doing all the way out here? What's your story, big man?' the Nova Corps officer asks. 'It isn't important. We all have stories...and Hercules would rather hear yours!' responds the mighty Hercules, who is wearing a new blue and gold costume, and has gray streaks through his hair and beard, as he reaches out and shakes the Nova Corps member's hand, smiling.

Untitled
In the Hyborian Age, at the location called Shadizar, Monica Rambeau a.k.a. Spectrum, the android Vision, Wanda Maximoff the Scarlet Witch and the mighty Hercules, four of the most powerful Avengers look on in horror at what plays out before them on the streets of Shadizar. 'Conan!' Wanda shouts out to her newfound companion, while the heroic Hercules remembers when he was only a year old, how he slew assassins sent by the Queen of the Gods, his stepmother – they were the first lives he took. To his shame, he reminds himself that they were not the last. Hercules admits to knowing rage in his time, and that he has sought revenge and found tragedy. In this long life of his, he has known dark days. He is Hercules Panhellenios, the Prince of Power, and this day is perhaps the darkest of all.
Meanwhile, on the planet Euphoria, where Bruce Banner the Immortal Hulk, Clint Barton a.k.a. Hawkeye and Rocket Raccoon have just been transported to. Hulk clenches his fists and thinks to himself that he is the strongest there is, that people won't like him when he is angry, or when he isn't. He is called the Hulk, and the night is his time. 'Hulk – did you know she was going to be here?' Hawkeye calls out in shock. 'This was supposed to be a vacation, dammit!' Rocket complains. 'Promises were made!' he calls out, as the three stare up at Nyx, Goddess of the Night, who hovers above them on this darkened planet with strange rock formations that leak waterfalls, and what appears to be several moons floating at low orbit around them. 'So let me handle it. I've got a plan' the Hulk declares, while looking up at Nyx, he thinks that they both want the same thing – a crystal shard with a third of her full power in it. The Hulk already has one shard, he used it to find its brother, somewhere on this planet. Hulk supposes that Nyx did the same thing, and realizes that whoever gets this one, the last shard of the night, gets to be the one to end the world!
Back in the Hyborian Age: 'Drink it in, Barbarian...' Oizys, the daughter of Nyx and also known as the Goddess of Misery, remarks as she slithers around Conan's muscular body, '... a wine fermented from your deepest sorrows' Oizys utters, as Conan stares up at the ghost of his beloved Belit, who has stabbed a dagger into his chest. 'My love...' Conan utters as blood pools around the dagger. 'Dark with the stain of death. Dark with the scars of regret. The Queen of Night and her foul children are stealing away the light in the universe and the light within our very souls...' Hercules thinks to himself. He knows that a life of violence digs wells of anguish deeper than they can admit to themselves – a searing pain they do not know how to confront. 'We sailed on azure waters and bit deep into the fruit of the world. The Queen of the Black Coast and her faithful lion' Belis exclaims, leaning in to Conan's face. 'Yes...' Conan utters, trying to turn from Belis, who is suddenly knocked off of Conan by a blast fired at her from the Vision. 'Stop – Oizys' the Vision calls out, his voice distorted.
Hercules and Wanda rush forward, 'Hold on, Conan!' Wanda calls out to her friend, as Oizys continues to latch onto Conan. Hercules doesn't know who this warrior is, but his expression tells him much about the life Conan has led. Hercules has been that barbarian – he has felt the frenzy of endless anger – each battle builds the callus around one's heart. 'You... YOU!' Conan shouts as he bites down onto Oizys' face. 'Taste my blade, dog!' Belis exclaims as she leaps in front of Hercules and slashes her blade across his side. 'Each death breeds a self-fulfilling prophecy' Hercules knows, as Conan slams Oizys into a nearby wall.
On Euphoria: 'Ah, geez. This ain't my idea of paradise, boys' Rocket mutters, as Nyx looks down at them. 'My. More lost lambs. You have something that is mine. I don't much care for that' Nyx tells them. 'A good fight is paradise. You want your own, go find it' Hulk tells Rocket. 'Run?' Hawkeye asks. 'Live' the hulk replies, remarking that he doesn't want the raccoon skinned, and that Barton is just useless, so he should go. 'He has a point' Rocket tells Hawkeye. 'Shup up and help me make a bow' Hawkeye tells Rocket as he snaps a branch from a nearby tree and starts to form it into a bow. Hawkeye declares that he has never run from a fight in his life, and that he can provide the names and numbers of two dozen doctors and surgeons who can back that up. Hawkeye reminds Rocket that this woman has snuffed out every sun in the universe – at best, there are entire planets who think that their gods have abandoned them, like an alien race on a faraway planet, and at worst, it is just a matter of time before everything they have ever known freezes to death, like on Earth, where civilians run in panic. 'Let's go! It's “Avengers assemble” not “Avengers take five”!' Hawkeye exclaims as Rocket helps him form a bow from the tree branch. How about that. Not so puny after all' the Hulk smirks.
In the Hyborian Age, Hercules notices that Conan refuses to succumb to his wounds, as he continues to pin Oizys against the wall, telling her that her magic does not impress him. He suggests to her that she heal him, and then he will grant her the mercy of a swift end. 'Poor you' Oizys responds, urging Conan to feed her with his despair so that she may weaponize it. Darkness suddenly wraps around Belis. The Avengers look at her, 'What's happening? She looks like she's about to -' Spectrum begins, before Belit explodes, sending shards of darkness hurling towards the Avengers, who do what they can to block the shards from harming them – but it's no use as the shards poke into the Avengers. Wanda looks up, and sees her lover, Doctor Voodoo lurching towards her as some decayed, zombie form. 'JERICHO!' Wanda screams. Spectrum looks at her glowing hands, and wonders what is left, after a thousand years, a million years – what is left of everything she knows? What will be left of her? The vision's body appears to be skewered on a large spike, as he looks at the grave of his daughter, Vivian Vision, marked “Loving Daughter Taken Too Soon”. 'No no no no no' the Vision utters.
On Euphoria, Hawkeye fires the makeshift bow, releasing two arrows that Rocket created for him. 'What's in these arrows, anyway?' Hawkeye asks. Rocket informs him that one is carrying an antimatter charge capable of blowing a hole in a Kree star crusier, and the other is just real sharp.
'Duck!' Rocket exclaims as the arrows streak towards Nyx. 'And what are either of them supposed to do to me?' Nyx asks as dark matter billows up around her and engulfs the arrows. 'Get your attention' Hulk declares as he appears behind her and grabs her head with his large hand, he then hurls her across the landscape, where she crashes through strange rock formations. 'Like swatting a fly. My power and hers – I've never been this strong' Hulk thinks to himself, deciding that this is way too easy.
'Nice throw. What're you looking for, Barton?' Rocket remarks, a small force field surrounding him. As Hawkeye searches through his pockets he suggests that they could use some Golaith-sized muscles, and that he is trying to find the vial of Pym Particles he had – one last dose of size-changing. Rocket asks if it works only on humans, and suggests that they could maybe shrink Nyx away. 'First answer is “no”, second answer is “I doubt it”' Clint replies, before the Hulk tells them to look out, as a surge of powerful energy blasts towards them, smashing them all backwards, and burying them under rubble. Nyx hovers overhead, and the Hulk knows she is serious. There is no more sneering, no more big talk – Nyx is hitting them with everything she has. 'Good' Hulk decides as he forces one of his fists up through the rubble.
Back in the Hyborian Age, Hercules has collapsed to his knees. Oizys' poison has entered his soul, his legs have given way – and all he feels is nothing. A wasteland inside him. The rage of his family's death kept him fighting, it was all he had left – but now it is cold, bitter, ash – what good is it? Hercules wonders what good he is, the joke, the fool, always smiling like an idiot – he wonders what he is for as Oizys grins before him. Hercules thinks that he is always so tired, and wonders if he should just let it end – let the grand tales of Hercules and his labors end here. He puts his hands to his face, then pulls then away as he hears someone crying, tears welling up in his own eyes, he looks over and sees Voyager laying on the ground nearby. Voyager laments being too weak, that she let this happen, that all the Avengers hate her, and that she is so alone, with no family and no father.
Hercules knows that Oizys sees them both, and is lashing out at them, more psychic strings, more reminders of pain, old hurts and so many hates. Hercules wants to collapse, he wants to drink – but he can't and he gets to his feet and walks over to Voyager. There is something he has to do – a labor to complete. 'Voyager...' Hercules utters. '... you are not alone. Please. If I can – I'd like to help' Hercules utters as he extends a hand to the desperate Voyager.
Back on Euphoria, the Hulk leaps through the darkness, he had a plan – to hit her. Hit Nyx as hard as he can and deliver a killing blow. 'Because if I give her one more second to think...' Hulk realizes, coming to a stop before Nyx, who tells him that he holds a portion of her power, that gives him added strength – but control is another matter. 'Hell. What I was afraid of. God giveth... and God taketh away' Hulk thinks to himself as Nyx snaps her fingers, 'For you, and for you alone – I rescind my gift of night' Nyx declares as energy glows around Hulk, whose form begins to wither and change. The Immortal Hulk is powerless to stop  it, despite being the strongest there is – and Banner can't hold this power, as the Hulk vanishes, and Banner drops to the ground. 'Hell. I'm in Hell' Banner utters as a small glow of energy rises up from him and floats towards Nyx. 'The hell of daylight. Because the night is my time' Nyx smirks.
Back at Shadizar, Hercules helps Voyager to her feet, knowing that in the face of this, it is very important that they both stand. His muscular body blocks Voyager from being harmed by the dark energy spears that Oizys hurls towards them. Hercules then turns to look at Oizys, who is literally misery. He knows that she has such power over them, but sometimes, when they look at her, they can see her clearly – a tiny little insect like being. 'You are small and weak -' Oizys tries to tell Hercules, who suddenly knows what he is for – not for vengeance, not to be a creature of rage – he is stronger than that. Hercules decides that his purpose is to find the misery in this life, to find despair wherever it might hide, and as best he can – to crush it. And with that, he stomps his foot down on Oizys, crushing her into the ground, she is squashed to death. 'And then...to smile like an idiot' Hercules tells himself.
Hercules turns to Voyager and tells her he is not sure how much that helped, but that he feels much better. 'How about you?' he asks. 'She... she was in my head for so long... it's...' Voyager's voice trails off, before she looks at Hercules and tells him that she doesn't know if she feels better, not right away, but that she can think now – and she can fight. 'Aye. My one regrets is that I didn't put the lizard to the sword myself' Conan calls out, announcing that instead, he will take his vengeance out on she who bore the beast – if they will have him at their side. The Vision, Spectrum and Wanda gather around, as Conan holds his axe up and adds that perhaps once the Queen of Night lies dead, Belit's ghost will rest in his head. Hercules tells Conan that vengeance will not cure that pain, he knows that. 'But you can help us stop the night-goddess before she hurts anyone else'. Hercules turns to Voyager and asks her if she can see where Nyx went. Voyager concentrate, and replies that even with Oizys dead there is enough connection to divine her location – but they need to hurry.
'Much better' Nyx proclaims as she holds the fragment of her soul in her hand. 'That's the beauty of these fragments. They're not addictive – they're exponential. I feel -' Nyx begins, when suddenly, she is distracted, and turns to the large house that floats nearby. 'That house again. What is it? Where is it? And how can it have light?' Nyx wonders as she sees something glowing through the front door's keyhole. 'Lead me' Nyx tells the darkness around her – but before she can be transported to the house, a portal opens, 'HOLD!' a voice booms. 'NYX! HALT!' Hercules shouts as he steps through the portal with Voyager, who collapses to the ground 'Across the universe...planet called Euphoria...it took...all my strength...' she utters. Hercules realizes that they are too late to stop Nyx. He rushes forward with Wanda, the Vision, Spectrum and Conan at his side – they see that Nyx has the second fragment – the next move is hers. 'Mortals. Despite your best efforts, I've been able to defeat you in your realm. Imagine what I'll be able to do to you in mine' Nyx points out, as darkness engulfs the heroes – and more – 'The stars... all the billions of stars...' Voyager utters. Hercules looks up in horror, 'Ouranos' eyes. They're... they're going out!' he gasps as the stars above suddenly vanish!
