Ultimatum, chapter two: Death Becomes Her
Midtown Manhattan, where night has fallen and the Ultimatum wave has passed. ‘Why does all the really scary stuff have to happen at night?’ Peter Parker a.k.a. Spider-Man mutters as he strains to lift up an upturned vehicle in the wake of the tragedy. ‘I mean, it’s not bad enough that half this city is underwater one second and then the next second it’s not…or that all this death and destruction was somehow caused by the world’s biggest dirt bag…Magneto’ Peter gets interrupted ‘Please stop talking and help me!’ a voice calls out from under the car Peter is trying to lift up. ‘I’m working on it, pal!’ Spider-Man retorts, muttering that everybody’s is a critic, before seeing a giant pair of feet walk past him. Looking up, Spider-Man sees one of the “Giant-Men” from the reserve Ultimates team.
‘Hey you! Giant guy-man…person!’ Peter calls out. ‘A little help here!’. But the team of Giant Men are busy clearing debris, while helicopters scout around overhead. Suddenly, ‘Hulk help Spider-Man!’ booms Dr. Bruce Banner a.k.a. the Hulk as he lifts the vehicle from Peter’s struggling grip, with ease. ‘Oh, boy’ Peter mumbles.
Meanwhile, Tony “Iron Man” Stark suddenly flies through a window of the Triskelion, SHIELD’s base of operations in Lower Manhattan. Carrying the unmoving body of Steve “Captain America” Rogers, Iron Man shouts ‘This man need’s medical attention - NOW!’. A SHIELD Agent informs Iron Man that he is trespassing on Government property, and to stop where he is. Iron Man retorts ‘Listen to me, you jackass. I only came here because there’s no place else to go. So unless you want me to blow off your -’, Tony is interrupted, by a voice that booms ‘STARK!’. It’s Captain Carol Danvers, who tells Tony that her men are just doing their jobs.
Carol declares that there is a tidal wave in Manhattan, while Eastern Europe has been flash frozen, and there are volcanoes erupting in the Amazon. ‘I can’t have you -’ Carol begins, until Tony interrupts, holding Captain America up, he reveals that Cap isn’t breathing. ‘I want a medical unit up here immediately!’ Carol orders. Soon, the medical team are rushing Cap into their med-bay, while Iron Man tells Captain America to ‘Hang in there’. Carol asks Tony what happened, to which Tony takes off his helmet and replies ‘What happened? He was drowning. Or he drowned. I don’t know. I pulled him out’. Tony tells Carol that Cap was awake and asked if the rest of the team was okay, and he collapsed while they searched for their teammates. ‘I could use a drink’ Tony mutters.
Tony and Carol watch as the medical team work on saving Captain America. ‘I hate hospitals’ Tony mutters, before Carol tells him that she knows he will go after Magneto, and offers SHIELD’s help in terms of communication or ground support. ‘It wouldn’t have to be like it was under Nick Fury’ she tells him. ‘Carol?’ Tony replies. ‘Hmm…?’ Carol asks. ‘Shut up’ Tony tells her. ‘I was only…’ Carol begins, until Tony declares that he needs to get out of here, and hands Carol Captain America’s shield, telling her to give it to Cap if he wakes up. ‘Don’t you mean when he wakes up?’ Carol replies, before an alarm goes off: Emergency One. Code Red. This installation is under attack. All personnel to battle positions. ‘Now what?’ Tony asks, putting his helmet back on.
Back in Midtown Manhattan, this time at Tony Stark’s mansion, home of the Ultimates, Hank Pym a.k.a. Giant Man is calling out for his wife, Janet a.k.a. the Wasp. The handsome Clint “Hawkeye” Barton is nearby, ‘Hank! Dammit! Listen to me, Hank!’ Clint calls out as he tries to get Hank’s attention. But Hank still shouts out for Jan. ‘@#$%. It’s like trying to have a conversation with a skyscraper!’ Clint mutters, before firing an arrow, which has a rope attached to it, into Hank’s knee. Clint begins to climb up Giant Man, remarking that the whole city has turned into a graveyard. ‘I must be out of my mind getting involved in this…’ Clint tells himself.
Suddenly, ‘Hey! Let go of me!’ Clint shouts as Hank reaches down and grabs him, then brings Clint up to eye-level. ‘Give me one good reason why I shouldn’t squish you like a bug!’ Hank tells Clint, who replies ‘Because… I can help you find Jan quicker if we work together!’. ‘You arrogant…’ Hank replies. ‘Do you honestly think you have a better perspective from down there than me?’ Hank asks, gritting his teeth. ‘How do you think I hit the bullseyes? Practice?’ Clint mutters, explaining that his vision has been enhanced. ‘I went through the program!’ he exclaims, before Hank asks Clint why he is even here.
‘You’ve said Jan shouldn’t be anywhere near me’ Hank reminds him. ‘Because no matter what else I might think of you -’ Clint begins as he takes off his mask, ‘- I know what it’s like to lose the woman you love and nobody needs that kind of pain. Nobody. So just let me help you. Okay?’. With that, Hank releases his grip on Hawkeye, who now stands in the palm of Giant Man’s hand.
Nearby, inside the Baxter Building, home of the Fantastic Four, Ben Grim a.k.a. the Thing sits by the bed of Susan Storm a.k.a. the Invisible Woman, who is on life support. Ben puts a rocky hand to Susan’s head and tells her to help him out, remarking that Reed put him in charge of her ever since she lost consciousness, but that the doctors tell him there is nothing they can do but wait. ‘And I ain’t good at waiting. Just gimme something to hit!’ Ben declares, before telling the unconscious Susan that Reed went off to ‘God knows where’, but that he cannot find her Dad. ‘And Johnny? I’m sure he’s around…I mean, he’s like one of them bad pennies’ Ben remarks, before asking Susan to tell him what to do.
‘What the hey?’ Ben shouts as his hands are suddenly rendered invisible. He gets to his feet and tells Susan that her powers are on the fritz. ‘Ya gotta wake up!’ he exclaims. ‘C’mon…wake up!’ he shouts, before an invisible blast of energy knocks him across the med lab and through a wall. Through another wall, until he comes to the edge of the building, and Ben crashes through one of the large glass windows, he manages to grip onto the edge, hanging a very high distance over Manhattan. ‘Reed, pal. Wherever the heck you are - this thing with Suzie is a lot harder than either of us figured!’
Six miles off the Coast of New York, inside the Fantastic-Jet Boat, Reed Richards a.k.a. Mister Fantastic pilots the battered boat, while one of his arms is extended around the front of the jet boat, holding Namor prisoner. Reed mutters that he doesn’t care that Charles Xavier appeared in his head and said that this was all Magneto’s fault. ‘A tidal wave drowned New York City, and you played a role in this, Namor. I know it!’ Reed exclaims, shouting that he only wanted to marry Sue. Suddenly, the on-board computer announces that all systems are down. ‘No!’ Reed exclaims, asking Namor what he did to this ship, before suddenly, a energy beam pulls Reed’s jet boat into a massive ship hovering overhead.
Reed gets out of his jet boat and asks Namor what this is: ‘Some Atlantean battleship?’ he demands, when suddenly, a voice announces ‘It’s nothing short of remarkable, Richards, than anyone would ever consider you as my intellectual equal. Namor had nothing to do with this tidal wave, or the icy devastation of every man, woman and child in Latveria. It was Magneto!’ the voice exclaims, revealing that Magneto has offset the magnetic poles, creating this ecological nightmare. ‘Doom?!’ Reed shouts, asking why he should believe him. ‘How do I know you weren’t involved?’ Reed exclaims.
‘I won’t even dignify that with an answer’ Doom retorts, exclaiming that he doesn’t have time for questions, only for solutions. Doom reveals that the person they seek is Nick Fury, the former head of SHIELD, causing Reed to ask why, and telling Doom that he knows that is not possible, for Fury was left in another Universe, where the Squadron Supreme live. ‘And there’s no way back there!’ Reed declares. ‘That’s not exactly true’ Doom reveals, asking Reed if he remembers Zarda, the Squadron Supreme’s Power Princess. Zarda, sporting a new costume, steps forward and tells Reed that having to ally herself with this criminal makes her want to retch, ‘But if there’s a chance I can help stop the destruction of your Earth - then I will take us all home!’ she announces.
Meanwhile, high over New York City, Thor, God of Thunder, flies on Pegasus, the winged-steed belonging to his lover and teammate, Valkyrie. Surveying the damage below, Thor exclaims that this is madness. ‘The seas. The very skies defy me!’ he exclaims, boasting that there will be much to answer for by morning, before telling Pegasus to find its mistress. ‘Find Valkyrie!’ Thor shouts. Soon, they approach the remains of the Statue of Liberty, and see Valkyrie’s scantily-clad body, lying motionless by the Statue’s feet. ‘NO!’ booms Thor as he drops down beside his girlfriend. ‘It can’t be! Valkyrie…my love…’ he exclaims as he picks Valkyrie’s unmoving body up. ‘This is wrong!’ Thor exclaims, before shouting ‘Things will change!’ and shoving his sword into the ground, causing energy to crackle all around.
Thor is transported to Valhalla, the mythical land of the fallen, and appears in front of a very evil and very powerful looking woman. ‘HELA! Mistress of the Dead!’ Thor exclaims. ‘I have come for -’ he begins, until Hela interrupts ‘I know why you have come’ she declares. ‘You think that I will be forgiving. That I will return to you the soul of the loved one you lost’. Thor tells Hela to make it quick, as he is needed back on Earth. ‘It’s been torn -’ he begins to say, until Hela interrupts once more, telling Thor that he can leave without Valkyrie, but that this will be his only chance.
Hela tells Thor to pass her challenge to prove that he is worthy of such a gift. ‘Defeat my army of fallen warriors, and you will be rewarded…for a price’ Hela tells Thor, who agrees. ‘FOR VALKYRIE!’ Thor booms as he gets to work, using his sword to cut through the army of decaying warriors that swarm upon him. Though outnumbered, Thor is a powerful, determined being, and the blood of the dead begins to spray everywhere as he fights for his lover, while a grinning Hela watches on.
‘More and more! Bring as many as you can! I will not leave without my lover!’ Thor booms, unaware that one of the skeleton warriors is about to bring an axe down upon his head, until suddenly, a red, white and blue shield slices through the skeleton warrior’s hand, and a friendly voice exclaims ‘Then, maybe you could use some help!’. Thor turns and sees Captain America at his side. ‘Here? How is it possible?’ Thor asks. Cap replies that he doesn’t know. ‘We’ll figure that out when this is over…!’ he exclaims as they continue fighting Hela’s army.
Back at the ruins of the Ultimates’ mansion, Hawkeye tells Hank to put him down. ‘Why? Did you see something?’ Giant Man asks. ‘Just put me down!’ Clint replies. Hank does so, lowering his hand to the ground so Clint can walk off. ‘Clint…’ Hank begins, but Clint tells him to stay here, and that it’s probably nothing. Hawkeye races through the remains of a building, bow and arrows ready, he mutters that it is a bad time to have lost his pistols. Suddenly, Clint goes quiet - ‘Jan…’ he whispers as he comes across a horrific scene. ‘Tastes like chicken!’ the hideous mutant known as the Blob mutters with his mouthful as he devours Janet van Dyne Pym a.k.a. the Wasp. Blood and parts of Jan’s stomach and innards are splattered around as the Blob chows down.
Meanwhile, at Xavier’s Academy, in Westchester, New York, Professor Xavier comes face to face with Magneto! Xavier announces that his X-Men are off retrieving the bodies of their dead friends. ‘Why am I not surprised to find you here?’ he asks Magneto. ‘Because no matter how you deny it, Charles, we’ve always thought alike’ Magneto replies. ‘Never like this, Magneto!’ Xavier retorts. Magneto narrows his eyes, ‘So. We’ve come to that. No longer referring to me by my first name’ he remarks. ‘Why am I not surprised?’ he asks.
‘What do you want me to say?’ Xavier asks. ‘That I agree with this doomsday option? When you know I would stop at nothing to keep you from destroying the Earth and everyone on it?’, Xavier exclaims, adding ‘And for what? Revenge? Because your children Wanda and Pietro were murdered? Do you honestly believe that this will even the scales?’ Xavier asks. Magneto replies that his children’s deaths merely opened his eyes and points out that, after thousands of years, humans have done nothing but destroy this planet. ‘War. Famine. Ecological ruin. When God didn’t like what he’d created he washed it all away in forty days and forty nights. I will do it in three’, Magneto exclaims as he walks around behind Xavier, and putting his hands on Xavier’s shoulders.
‘I’d be stating the obvious by pointing out - you are not God’, Xavier remarks, before telling Magneto that he will be hunted down. ‘And I will lead the charge. No matter what good you think you are doing - you’ll only be remembered as a madman. Like Pol Pot. Bin Laden. Hitler’. Magneto’s eyes go wide, and he grabs Xavier’s head: ‘I knew when I came here tonight, this was inevitable!’ he exclaims as he snaps Xavier’s neck. Xavier’s crumpled body falls to the ground, and Magneto removes his helmet as he stands over Xavier’s body. ‘In the past, you’ve had a hand in every one of my failures. Toppling the best laid plans. It had to stop!’….

Ultimatum, chapter four: A Time to Die
The home of Doctor Strange, the Sorcerer Supreme, in Soho, New York City. ‘Hulk, don’t!’ pleads the teenage hero Spider-Man as he is thrown about by the rampaging Hulk. ‘Doc Strange’s house…it’s filled with all kinds of mumbo jumbo!’ Spider-Man exclaims. ‘Hulk smash mumbo jumbo!’ the behemoth roars as he continues to tear up his surroundings. ‘No, Hulk. Smash bad. Smashing opens bad doors. Let’s out...oh…God…no…’ he screams as he is seemingly torn apart by a combination of forces.
Soon after, the rain pours down on the remains of Doctor Strange’s home - but the rain does not douse the raging fires. Spider-Man’s torn mask lies in a puddle - and Is found by his side-kick Kitty Pryde, formerly the X-Girl known as Shadowcat. Kitty picks up Spider Man’s mask and tears form in her eyes. ‘…Peter…’ she whispers, before taking the mask and walking away.
Nearby, emerging from the ruins of Doctor Strange’s home is a fiery demon, ‘Freed at last!’ he booms, while Doctor Strange hovers nearby: ‘Spider-Man sacrificed himself to stop you. Time to put Dormammu back in the bottle!’ Strange exclaims. But Dormammu remarks that it is Strange’s fault he could breach the walls of the Dark Dimension in the first place: ‘After all…your house came down and left the door open’.
Suddenly, inside the large amulet around Dormammu’s neck, the Human Torch of the Fantastic Four, trapped within, calls out to Doctor Strange, asking him to go and get help. The young hero informs Strange that Dormammu is somehow channelling him, that this isn’t just magic, but Dormammu is using his flame. ‘It doesn’t matter, Johnny Storm…at the end of the day, Dormammu is merely a demon. And like any demon - it can be destroyed by one spell or another’ Strange replies as he flies closer to Dormammu’s face.
‘You cannot be serious. Challenging me?’ Dormammu tells Strange, who casts magic energies towards Dormammu, telling the demon that it is his choice to either suffer death in this world, or return defeated to his own world. Strange’s magic beams appear as large clawed hands, striking out at Dormammu’s face, while Dormammu declares: ‘You know your own history. How your father. And your grandfather. And your great grandfather…all claimed to have the title of “Sorcerer Supreme“. With you being the very last. And because you have no son…your lineage dies tonight!’ With that, Dormammu’s power breaks Strange’s magic hands, and knocks Strange backwards.
Dormammu declares that Strange was never anything more than a sheep in wolf’s clothing, thinking he could best him - the ruler of the Dark Realm! Suddenly, Doctor Strange’s yellow sash, under the control of Dormammu, wraps itself completely around Strange’s body so tightly, that his face turns blue, his eyes bulge from their sockets, and blood streams from his ears and nose - before, suddenly, Doctor Strange’s head pops, splattering blood everywhere, his limp body fall to the ground.
‘If Strange was your last best hope for your planet...then kiss it all good-bye!’ Dormammu tells the Human Torch, only for Johnny to reply ‘Think again, you giant zippo!’ Suddenly, a voice shouts ‘Get the hell away from my brother!’ It’s the Invisible Woman, along with her teammate, the Thing, who exclaims ‘The freakin’ cavalry is here!’
With the sudden arrival of two of the Fantastic Four, no one notices someone walk over to the headless body of Doctor Strange and sigh, before muttering ‘…Stephen…’, and then teleporting away with Strange’s body.
Later, in Lower Manhattan, the Hulk leaps from rooftop to rooftop while being pursued by soldiers in helicopters who fire missiles at him. ‘Tiger One. The Hulk trashed most of Soho. You are green lit to take him out!’ someone announces. ‘Roger that. Locked on target and firing’ the chopper replies, its missiles narrowly missing the Hulk, who growls and shouts ‘Stupid army leave Hulk alone! Hulk try and help magic man!’. Suddenly, there is a blinding red light, and the soldier alerts that they have been hit. ‘The next one goes through the propeller blade. Leave the Hulk alone!’ announces Cyclops, assuring the soldier that the X-Men will then leave him alone. Lightning crackles in the sky as Storm hovers alongside Scott and tells Cyclops that it is up to Logan now. ’Isn’t that comforting’ Scott replies sarcastically.
‘Come on out!’ Logan a.k.a. Wolverine remarks to the Hulk, half-buried in the pavement. ‘Hulk knows you!’ the Hulk responds as Wolverine unsheathes his claws. ‘Hulk tore you in half!’ the Hulk exclaims, to which Wolverine remarks that he was hoping they would not have to go through that again. ‘Hulk smash you like puny bug!’ the Hulk boasts as he climbs out of the pavement and lunges at Wolverine, who calls out to Jean Grey, his powerful teammate. Jean steps forward and uses her telekinesis to hold back the Hulk, telling him that they are not here to hurt him, that they need his help. The Hulk smiles at Jean and looks at her lustfully, before announcing that he will help the pretty girl. Wolverine suggests that they find Colossus, and that they get the Hulk some big boy pants.
Meanwhile, outside the White House of the Supreme-Verse. Former Director of the Ultimate Universe’s SHIELD, Nick Fury steps out of his car, muttering to himself that it would help if there were some Roscoe’s on this godforsaken planet. ‘Oh @#$%’ he mutters, as the pink energy signature of powerful sorceress Arcanna Jones signals her arrival. Fury turns and sees Power Princess, who is also of this world, but just returning to it now, along with Mister Fantastic, and his arch foe, Doctor Doom, both of Fury’s world. ‘I was wondering when you bungholes were going to show up’ Fury mutters. ‘But I never figured you’d be dumb enough to get into bed with Doom again’.
Fury asks Mister Fantastic what the deal is, to which Reed explains that they need Fury to return wit them, and motioning to Doom, adds that it was Victor’s idea. ‘I bet it was’ Fury mutters, before announcing that he will pass. ‘I don’t recall our asking!’ Power Princess exclaims as she smashes her way through Fury’s car, causing it to explode. ‘A little anger management would go a long way with you, Zarda’ Fury remarks, before adding ‘Okay…let’s say I change my mind and went with you…what’s so important that it has to be right now?’.
Reed explains that Magneto has tilted Earth’s axis, causing tidal waves, an ice age, and volcanoes to erupt. ‘He intends to wipe out the entire population!’ Reed reveals. ‘The Doomsday Protocol’ Fury replies, remarking that he warned everyone when he was left here in this universe, taken out of the equation. ‘Well, here you are’ he remarks, before adding that he now understands why Doom is running this little expedition. ‘What’s that supposed to mean?’ Mister Fantastic asks. ‘I…I made an…error in judgment’ Doom replies, revealing that he had Magneto’s daughter, the Scarlet Witch, murdered.
Doom remarks that he knew Magneto would then declare war on mankind. ‘And when it was over…I would be there to pick up the pieces’. Doom admits that he never imagined that Magneto either had the power or will to destroy the human race. ‘What good is a king if there is no kingdom?’ Doom asks. ‘An error in judgment? Millions of people are dead - and Susan - the woman I love!’ Reed shouts as he wraps his elastic body around Doom, while Power Princess begins physically attacking him: ‘Who knows how many more have died since we’ve been gone?’
Fury fires his pistol into the air, ‘Enough!’ he exclaims, telling Reed and Zarda that if he wanted him dead, Doom would be dead. ‘How the hell do we get home?’ Fury mutters, to which his ally Arcanna Jones steps forward: ‘The same way they got here. My magic’ she remarks. ‘Okay, Arcanna. Click them ruby slippers’ he tells the powerful sorceress. ‘Secrets. Bite you in the ass every time…’ Fury whispers.
Back in the Ultimate Universe, at Aunt May’s home, Kitty sits on the roof, clutching the tattered remains of Spider-Man’s costume. ‘There was this flash of light. Like…magic light. And then he was gone’ Kitty whispers to Wolverine, standing beside her. ‘What do you mean “gone”? You mean like…Spider-Man is dead?’ Wolverine asks his close friend. ‘Yes…no...maybe…I don’t know…’ the teary-eyed Kitty replies. Wolverine holds up a small box, and tells Kitty that his timing’s not the greatest as he hands it to her, asking her to look after it for him. ‘What is it?’ Kitty asks.
Wolverine explains that they are going up against Magneto, and that if he doesn’t come back, then she can open it. ‘After that. You’ll know what to do’. ‘”If you don’t come back…?” are you kidding me?’ Kitty shouts at Wolverine, who stares back at her. Kitty gets up and exclaims that she ants to go with him, but Logan tells Kitty that she cannot, and that he is leaving Iceman here with her. ‘Half to protect each other…and half to keep either one of you from tagging along’. Kitty cries some more and hugs Wolverine, asking him why it is she cannot come with him. ‘Because when this is finished…and everything has to start over again…they’re gonna need good people to be there…and you, Kitty? You’re one of the best’ Logan replies.
Later that morning, above the Arctic Circle floats Magneto’s citadel - and three jets approach it at fast speed. ‘To every thing there is a season…and a time to every purpose under the Heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die…’ Magneto remarks as he gets up from his throne, before remarking ‘They are here’. At that instant, Angel of the X-Men tears into the citadel and shouts ‘I’ll kill you!’ as he punches Magneto hard across the face, drawing blood. Magneto puts his hand to his face, while calling out to Sabretooth: ‘He’s yours’. Sabretooth appears seemingly out of nowhere, ‘Got him!’ he snarls as he drops down onto Angel’s back and claws him, spraying blood everywhere.
‘Murdered and Angel’ Sabretooth boasts as Angel falls to the floor, Sabretooth smashes his face against the floor, before using his razor-sharp teeth to savagely tear off one of Angel’s feathered wings, then kicking Angel in the head. ‘I’m going to Hell for sure -’ Sabretooth remarks with a mouthful of feathers. Suddenly, Sabretooth growls as an arrow lands in his right eye. ‘That’s gonna leave a mark’ Hawkeye of the Ultimates declares, armed with a myriad of weapons.
Nearby, Magneto races down a corridor, clutching the mighty hammer that once belonged to Thor. ‘MAGNETO!’ screams the Ultimates’ Valkyrie, former lover of Thor. ‘I want Thor’s hammer!’ Valkyrie declares, holding her massive sword towards Magneto. ‘Then, by all means, here -’ Magneto begins as he pulls his arm backwards, preparing to smash the hammer into Valkyrie’s face. ‘Don’t @#$# with me!’ Valkyrie screams as she brings her sword down on Mangeto’s arm, before the hammer reaches her face. Magneto is shocked, but uses his control over metal to take hold of Valkyrie’s sword. ‘Child. That was the last brave thing you ever did’ Magneto tells her, before seemingly slitting her throat with her own sword.
Suddenly, ‘It’s over!’ Captain America orders as he smashes his way through a window, sending glass flying everywhere. ‘I’ve dealt with would-be tyrants like you all my life!’ Captain America declares as he kicks Magneto in the back. ‘Small men trying to make up for their inadequacies’ Cap adds. ‘Enough!’ Magneto retorts as he uses his powers to bring the ceiling down upon Captain America and Valkyrie, apparently alive.
Magneto flies along the corridor, and uses his powers to put a seal around his severed arm. ‘Even without Xavier…they still resist. Even knowing they brought this on themselves…no matter. This will be the end!’ Magneto declares as he sees several others standing up ahead. He flies over to them - Wolverine, Jean Grey, Cyclops, Storm, Hawkeye and Iron Man. The heroes are ready to fight, but Magneto hovers in front of them and exclaims: ‘And God said unto Noah: “The end of all flesh is come before me/ For the Earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the Earth!’….

Ultimatum, chapter three: Heaven on Earth
‘They’re all dead, Magneto. Dazzler. Beast. Nightcrawler. Drowned. Only Angel survived. An angel amidst all this destruction’ declares…the Scarlet Witch? ‘The Academy of Tomorrow in Chicago destroyed. Emma Frost. Sunspot. Cannonball. Polaris. And the rest of those brats. Confirmed dead by the Madroxes. Only Havok’s unconfirmed. They’re hunting him’ she reveals. ‘Longshot. Forge. Detonator. Hardrive. Found them in the Savage Land. Caught. Tortured. Killed. And my once beloved Charles Xavier is dead. But…you knew that…’
Inside his citadel, floating above the Arctic Circle, Magneto the Master of Magnetism sits on his throne, while a sullen Madrox stands behind him, and the scantily clad apparent Scarlet Witch dotes over her father, stroking his head. A dozen or so monitors line the throne room, all reporting different catastrophes:
…a tidal wave hit New York City at 4:13PM today…
…the death toll well over a million people…
…news coming in of the Academy of Tomorrow…
…eye-witnesses claim to have seen suicide bombers…
…the suicide bombers are said to all look like one man…
…Tony Stark’s famed Manhattan home…
…volcanoes are reportedly erupting in the Amazon…
…Most of Eastern Europe is frozen in ice…
…Earthquakes ravaged the African nation of Wakanda…
…Parliament is the latest in a string of suicide bombings…
‘And you did all of this in my name… Daddy?’ the Scarlet Witch asks. Suddenly, Magneto, clutching Thor’s hammer with one hand, uses his other to grab the Scarlet Witch by her throat and shouts ‘Do not try my patience. Wanda and Pietro’s deaths were only the spark that lit the fuse!’ The “Scarlet Witch” gasps, before her form shifts into her true form - Mystique! Magneto reminds Mystique that, for years, he has let the world see it could be in better hands, but they branded him a terrorist and a madman. ‘And I am quite certain you will agree that I am everything but mad!’ As he drops her to the floor, Mystique replies ’I was only having some fun, Erik,’ to which Magneto informs Mystique that he has plans for her, specifically for her. ‘Do not disappoint me…’ he warns her.
‘What about the rest of us?’ exclaims Madrox, who suddenly reveals that he has a bomb strapped to his body. ‘You’ve killed mutants, Magneto! TURNED ON YOUR OWN PEOPLE!’ he shouts. Magneto turns to Madrox and asks ‘You’re not even Madrox Prime, are you?’ to which Madrox retorts ‘You know I’m not!’ and points out that Magneto has had him in hiding for weeks, making duplicate after duplicate - an army of suicide bombers. ‘And it all stops now!’ he warns Magneto. ‘I think not’ Magneto smirks, before forcing Thor’s hammer into the Madrox dupe, knocking him out the window of the throne room.
Thor’s hammer returns to Magneto moments later, and Magneto exclaims ‘After the great flood, God spared only Noah and his family. He did so because he knew they’d be loyal. They were the last of mankind. Now, I will choose who lives and dies. Those that remain will be grateful. For the will find themselves in…Heaven on Earth…’ Mystique just looks at Magneto with her yellow eyes wide.
Meanwhile, that moment, near the East River in Manhattan. The horrid mutant Blob of the Brotherhood stands over the disemboweled body of the Wasp, his mouth covered in her blood. ‘Get away from her!’ Wasp’s ex-husband Giant Man / Yellowjacket booms as he reaches his massive hand downwards and picks the horrid Blob up. ‘Haw, you can’t move me - I’m the Blob!’ the foul mutant boasts. Hawkeye calls out to his teammate, ‘Let me take the shot!’ as he readies his bow and arrow, but Giant Man brings the Blob up to his face and shouts ‘What did she ever do to you? She was perfect’ he exclaims.
‘Hey, pal, it was nothing personal’ the Blob replies, before Giant Man bites his head off, and spits it out onto the street, near where a shocked Hawkeye is standing. ‘…Hank…’ Hawkeye gasps, before Giant Man tosses the Blob’s body to the side, spitting more blood out of his mouth as he exclaims ‘It was only personal…’
Hank picks up the Wasp’s broken body and tells her that it is going to be fine. But Hawkeye tells Giant Man that the Wasp is not okay, that she is dead. Hank ignores Hawkeye and tells Jan that he can save her, that he can be the hero. ‘All we need is to get you to the Triskelion. They’ve got the equipment to repair you…’ he mumbles as he lumbers away. ‘@#$%. No telling what he’s going to do…’ the handsome Hawkeye mutters to himself.
Meanwhile, in the sewers beneath New York City, the X-Man known as Wolverine trudges through the dirty water – coming to a halt when he finds the body of Kurt “Nightcrawler” Wagner. ‘…Kurt…’ Wolverine whispers as he sees his bloody and broken friend.
On the street above, Wolverine’s teammates - Scott “Cyclops” Summers, Jean “Marvel Girl” Grey, Bobby “Iceman” Drake and Ororo “Storm” Munroe, have found the bodies of two more of their friends - Henry McCoy a.k.a. the Beast and Alison “Dazzler” Blaire. ‘Oh…God…’ Cyclops utters as he and the others look upon Warren “Angel” Worthington, who is kneeling beside their dead friends, in amongst the destruction, while a light from the x-jet shines down on him. Angel declares that he found Henry twenty something blocks from there, lodged in a store front. ‘And Alison…’ his voice trails off, while Scott assures him that, as soon as they find Kurt, and get them back to the mansion, they will regroup.
‘No. I’m going after Magneto!’ Angel snaps. Scott tells Warren that he knows he is hurting, as they all are – but Warren interrupts, telling Scott that he knows nothing about his feelings. Motioning to Jean, Warren declares that Scott can crawl into bed tomorrow with the love of his life. ‘And I’ve got nothing to live for!’ he shouts. ‘Dude. We’re all in this together -’. ‘Warren…’ Jean begins, when suddenly, Wolverine, carrying Nightcrawler’s body, surfaces: ‘HEY!’ he shouts, reminding his teammates that they have enough going on without fighting with each other. ‘And you ain’t going up against Magneto all by yer lonesome’ he tells Warren, who replies ‘Like Hell I’m not!’ and takes flight.
Warren is quickly pursued by Storm, who reminds him that Magneto is causing devastation worldwide, and that they will go after him when they will have everyone with them. ‘The X-Men. The Ultimates. The Fantastic Four,’ she points out. Ororo tells Angel that he might think he has nothing left to live for, but that she is not letting him to there just to get himself killed. ‘Not when we all love you’ Storm adds, before telling Angel to come with them. ‘Xavier knows more about Magneto than anybody -’ Storm begins, before suddenly, Jean screams, and psychic energy bursts around her. ‘Charles… Professor Xavier… I tried reaching out to him… he’s dead!’ Jean announces, before collapsing into Cyclops.
Meanwhile, in Valhalla, the mythical land of the fallen, were Captain America and Thor of the Ultimates are battling side-by-side against Hela’s army of fallen warriors. ‘Fight on, Captain!’ Thor urges. As he hacks away at the skeletal warriors with an axe, Captain America replies that he is, but that it seems like every time one of the creatures falls, four more take its place. Shoving the axe into another warrior, Cap declares that he doesn’t know how he got here, ‘But, if this is the land of the dead…’ his voice trails off, before Thor, slicing his way through the warriors with a sword, replies that Valhalla is neither Heaven nor Hell, and assures Cap that when they are done here, he will return home.
‘I don’t see how you’re going to make good on that - but I’ve learned that doubting you is a bad thing’ Cap replies as warrior blood splatters around him. Thor declares that this is nearly the last of the dead army, and shouts ‘HELA, SHOW THYSELF!’ An astral image of Hela’s face appears in the hazy “sky” above, ‘No need to raise they voice, Thunder God. In my home I am everywhere!’ Hela points out, before materializing several feet away, with the unmoving Valkyrie in front of her. Smirking, Hela points out that, as Thor has defeated her army, he is proven worthy of her gift. ‘I now return your love to you’ she declares. ‘What game is this? Valkyrie still lies dead!’ Thor shouts.
‘Yes and, as you’ll recall, I said you could leave with her for a price’ Hela reminds Thor. ‘Then, name the price!’ Thor replies, while Captain America tells him to be careful. ‘If I allow one to leave this land - another must stay in her stead!’ Hela replies, telling Thor that this surely must not come as a surprise. Captain America offers to stay. ‘For all we know, that’s why I’m here’ he tells Thor, but Thor replies ‘I cannot ask this of you.’ But Captain America reminds Thor that he came here to save Valkyrie’s life. ‘Does it make sense for her to go back and you’re not with her?’ he asks, while an image of a skull forms in Thor’s eye…
Back on Earth, at the Triskelion, SHIELD’s base of operations in Lower Manhattan, where Iron Man and Captain Carol Danvers, Director of SHIELD, are leading the fight against the Madrox dupes. Flying two of them up into the air, Iron Man radios to Carol, telling her that they are going to need back-up, as there is too many of them. ‘What the Hell is Magneto thinking?’ he wonders. Carol fires her machine gun at the Madrox dupes, hitting numerous dupes straight in the head. ‘I don’t care what he thinks, Tony. I’m protecting this building – particularly with Cap lying up there in the hospital’ Carol replies.
Throwing the two Madrox dupes into the air, where their bombs explode. ‘For the glory of Magneto!’ one of the Madrox dupes shouts as he unexpectedly takes hold of Carol, and is about to press down on his detonator - when an arrow is fired through his head. ‘Glory that - you multiple jackass!’ Hawkeye shouts. Iron Man flies over to Giant Man, and, seeing the Wasp in his hand, asks him what happened. ‘Get her inside, Tony. There’s an encrypted file marked ‘The Jocasta Project’ Hank replies, assuring Tony that he will take care of the rest, as tears fall from beneath his mask.
‘Everyone of those men has a bomb!’ Iron Man explains to Hank, who shouts once again for Jan to be taken inside, before he drops to the ground, squashing a dozen or so of the Multiple Man dupes with his arm. ‘That’s it… all of you… BRING IT!’ Hank shouts as the Madrox dupes begin climbing onto him. Hank gets back up to his feet and begins walking to the edge of the Triskelion. ‘Hank – what the @#$% are you doing?!’ Hawkeye shouts. ‘What needs to be done’ Hank replies, before asking Clint to keep Jan safe. ‘But… she’s dead’ Hawkeye replies. ‘And people say I’m crazy…’ he mumbles to himself.
Trudging into Manhattan Harbor, some of the Madrox dupes fall off Giant Man, while Iron Man flies out after him. ‘Get away from me, Tony!’ Hank shouts. ‘I’ve made a lot of mistakes in my life – this isn’t one of them!’ he assures his teammate. ‘Tell Jan… I’m sorry… and I love -’ Hank doesn’t get to finish his sentence, as he explodes in a massive burst of flames, as the Madrox dupes’ bombs go off.
Nearby, on Liberty Island, ’THOR!’ Valkyrie gasps as she sits up from the ground, where, until moments ago, she lay dead. Gazing out at the fire on the harbor, Valkyrie wonders how Thor could stay there, when Iron Man calls out to her. Instinctively, Valkyrie raises her sword, but Tony tells her to take it easy, and asks her how she ended up way out here. ’Tony? Oh… no… Tony… Thor’s dead!’ Valkyrie exclaims. ’WHAT?’ Tony replies, before Valkyrie explains that Thor sacrificed himself for her. ’And Cap. He was there too…’ Valkyrie adds. ’Are you sure?’ a confused Tony asks. ’Why would you even ask that?’ Valkyrie snaps back, before Iron Man informs her that Cap is lying in the Triskelion hospital, and that he has been with him the entire time. ’I happened, Stark. And I’m going to kill Magneto for it!’ Valkyrie replies.
In the infirmary, Captain America sits up in his bed, ‘THOR!’ he shouts, before looking up and seeing Iron Man, Hawkeye and Valkyrie standing nearby. ’I’m… back’ he whispers, to which Clint asks him what he means by that. ’You’ve been sitting out the action -’ Clint begins, until Cap grabs him and declares that he would be dead if it weren’t for Thor. ‘He gave up his life to save mine!’ he exclaims. ‘I’ve got news for you. He’s not the only one. Hank Pym died tonight saving your sorry ass… that’s right. The guy who hated you almost as much as you hated him,’ Clint informs Cap. Captain America asks why Hank would do that, to which Hawkeye reveals that the woman that both of them loved is dead.
‘Jan…’ a shocked Cap whispers, before picking up his shield, and standing alongside his teammates, Cap announces that they are going to find every available hero. ‘It’s time to save the world!’

Ultimatum, chapter five: The Ugly Truth
Magneto’s citadel, above the Arctic Circle: ‘All the other times we’ve fought, I guess I held back. Can’t kill you if I’m not willing to die. Today…? I’m willing to die!’ Wolverine snarls as he stands before Magneto, suddenly lunging at him and drawing blood when his powerful adamantium claws slice across Magneto’s chest. Wolverine exclaims that Magneto has murdered millions of people - humans, mutants, heroes, villains - it makes no difference. ‘Friends. Charles Xavier!’ Logan exclaims.
Standing nearby are Wolverine’s teammates - Jean Grey and Cyclops. Jean psychically tells Cyclops that she is in Wolverine’s head. ‘He’s going to do it. He’s going to kill him…’ she reveals. ‘Then, maybe that’s how this has to end, Jean’ Cyclops replies. ‘Think you’re God? That you’ll destroy the Earth and make it over in your image? I got news for you…if you’re God…then God is DEAD!’ Wolverine shouts as he forces Magneto to the floor and lashes out with his adamantium claws.
Magneto uses his control over metal to push Wolverine back towards Jean, Cyclops, Storm, Iron Man and Hawkeye. ‘I won’t be judged by someone less than a man - and no more than an animal!’ Magneto declares, asking ‘Do you honestly believe you can stop me? You can’t even stop yourselves. An open visor. An iron man’ Magneto exclaims. ‘My eyes!’ Cyclops gasps as his powerful optic blast pours from his visor. ‘Armor override now. Dammit!’ Iron Man mutters as he cannot control his power. Both Cyclops and Iron Man’s powers are directed at Wolverine - ‘NO!’ they both scream as Wolverine is ripped apart by the force of their abilities. Storm begins to cry, Hawkeye remains stern, while a look of horror spreads across Jean Grey’s face, before she drops her face into her hands, unable to look at her former lover being torn apart.
Hawkeye suddenly fires an arrow at Cyclops, knocking off the visor. ‘Hawkeye - stop!’ Jean exclaims into the archer’s mind. Hawkeye tells Jean to get out of his head. ‘I only creased your boyfriend to shut him down. I could’ve done much worse’ he remarks. Storm apologizes to Iron Man as she blasts him with a lightning bolt, shutting his armor down. Magneto stands over the smoldering remains of Wolverine and remarks that despite Wolverine’s mongrel instinct to survive, it is too late. ‘You killed Wolverine!’ Magneto booms, when, suddenly, the bones and blood leap upwards - ‘Not yet’ Wolverine snarls as he shoves his claws through the front of Magneto’s chest, and out the other side.
‘Then. Die. Now!’ Magneto booms as he rips Wolverine apart -  while Wolverine’s claws still stick through his chest. Moments later, all that remain of Wolverine are a few broken bones, lying before the five remaining heroes. ‘Logan…’ Storm whispers. Cyclops puts his visor on while Jean looks away as Iron Man crouches down and whispers ‘Omigod…he tore the adamantium off of his skeleton!’.
Elsewhere, in the lower levels of the citadel, ‘Hulk listen to Jean Grey! Smash engines!’ the behemoth known as the Hulk booms as he follows Colossus through the lower levels, both of them using their incredible strength to smash up the citadel’s engines. Colossus remarks that he would rather be up with his teammates, ripping into Magneto. Suddenly, Mystique appears, remarking that she doesn’t think Magneto would care much for that. ‘Your deaths, on the other hand…’ she adds before firing a flame thrower at Colossus and the Hulk, who are not overwhelmed by the flames. Instead, the Hulk snarls ‘Hulk EAT blue lady!’. ‘Oh, @#$%!’ Mystique whispers.
Colossus reaches Mystique first though, and asks her how she could have followed Magneto. ‘Listened to the hate - the madness -’ suddenly though, ‘Time to go!’ Sabretooth exclaims as he grabs Mystique from behind, and pulls her away from Colossus. The bomb on Mystique’s flame thrower signals that it has ten seconds to go, as Sabretooth and Mystique hang-glide from the citadel, out into open air. Mystique asks ‘Where’s Magneto?’ to which Sabretooth asks her if she left her weapon. ‘Counting down. A full clip was left’ Mystique replies. ‘That should do it’ Sabretooth snarls, as the bottom of the citadel explodes a second later.
Meanwhile, Magneto lies against his throne, a trail of blood revealing his path. ‘Damn you, Logan’ Magneto whispers as he slowly pulls Wolverine’s three claws from his chest. ‘I’ll kill every last bit of you…down to the blood cells…even the maggots won’t want you’ Magneto exclaims. Suddenly, ‘You screwed up, Erik!’ a voice exclaims. ‘You screwed up and now you’ve got to make things right’. Magneto turns and sees Nick Fury, flanked by Mister Fantastic, Victor van Damme and Power Princess of the Supreme-Verse.
Fury points a small gun at Magneto and remarks, ‘It’s like I told Doom here months ago when we were allies. Every single one of you has a weakness. Something I keep as my ace in the hole in case you get out of hand. And you got way out of hand!’ Fury declares. ‘I do not…will not…answer to you!’ Magneto retorts. ‘Not me. Or any of us standing here. You’re gonna answer to…Jean Grey!’ Fury booms.
Jean Grey - possessor of the Phoenix - walks past Mister Fantastic and Dr Doom: ‘Fury says you have things to learn. Secrets’ Jean remarks. ‘You think you can rape my brain?’ Magneto asks, reminding everyone that Xavier tried that and failed. ‘I didn’t come all the way back here to change your mind’ Fury replies. ‘I came here to open it!’. With that, Jean places her hands on Magneto and Fury’s heads and opens Fury’s mind:
(Inside Fury’s Mind)
‘We created new life. A new species’ Fury was told. ‘New species of what?’ came Fury’s reply. ‘Homo superior. Mutants. We created them. Right here. We did it. It’s all here!’ he was told. ‘Man created mutants? Burn this place. Everything and everyone!’ Fury ordered.
(Reality)
‘Man and mutant. It made things so black and white for you!’ Fury tells the horror-stricken Magneto, blood dripping from his nose. ‘Everything wrong in your life. Everything. Was because of us humans. Homo. Sapiens. So…what if you - by playing God - could change all that? Wash away all those...inferiors?’ Fury remarks, telling Magneto that there is one problem with that - the truth. ‘Mutants weren’t chosen by God!’. Fury declares that mutants were not genetically gifted, or aberrations either. ‘They were made in a laboratory. By a crazy ass doctor who thought he could change the world. Ordinary men who were used like lab rats to be super-soldiers. That’s all you are, you bastard!’ Fury shouts.
‘Just a man. No different from the millions you killed thinking you’d be making the world a better place! A self-loathing. Self-destructive. Homo. Sapien’. Fury adds that it was his sin that he kept hidden, which made it his responsibility to show Magneto the truth. ‘The ugly truth!’. Magneto begins to cry - his face stained with blood and tears: ‘What…what have I done?’ he whispers. Mister Fantastic tells Fury that he shifted the magnetic poles. ‘The Earth is off its axis. It has to be repaired!’ he exclaims. Magneto replies that he doesn’t know if he has the strength, but Mister Fantastic suggests he find the strength.
Power ebbs and flows around the Master of Magnetism, and moments later he replies that it is done. ‘I can’t undo the damage…but the danger has passed…’ Magneto announces. Cyclops arrives and puts a hand on Magneto’s shoulder: ‘Let me help you, Erik. Just like Charles did for you all those years…’ Cyclops offers. ‘Charles? Charles will understand. Charles will forgive me…’ Magneto exclaims. A stern Cyclops reminds Magneto that Charles Xavier is dead. ‘You killed him with you own hands. There’s no one left to forgive you’ Cyclops tells him. ‘AND NO ONE EVER WILL!’ he shouts as he unleashes a powerful optic blast - at close-range, it rips Magneto’s head apart, with Jean, Fury and the others stand and watch the destruction of Magneto.
Cyclops takes Jean in his arms, and moments later, Colossus, the Hulk, Captain America and Iron Man arrive. ‘Hulk is hungry’ the behemoth announces. ‘Boys and girls. The bus is leaving. Party’s over’ Fury announces. Moments later, the survivors depart the citadel in a jet - and just in time too, as Magneto’s citadel plummets to the icy waters below. There is no one left to notice, in the waste, a hand with three metal claws attached to it swallowed by the rubble….
Eight days later…outside the United States Senate Building, in Washington, DC. Thousands of people have gathered with one thing on their mind - and voice - ‘NO MORE MUTANTS!’ they shout, carrying signs like “Die Mutie Scum”. “Mutant Plague” and “Sentinels are the Answer”. Their hateful cries are broken by the sound of one man: ‘My name is Scott Summers. And I’m a mutant!’ Cyclops announces as he stands on a podium before Senate Building. Dozens of SHIELD agents surround him, while Colossus and Storm stand beside him, and Carol Danvers of SHIELD remains nearby.
Cyclops declares that their world suffered a terrible tragedy. ‘It was caused by a mutant. Because of him…there are so few of us left…his name was Magneto. He was a known terrorist. And now he’s dead. But the damage he did - all the death and destruction - it can never be forgotten’. ‘BURN In HELL!’ a protestor shouts. Jean and Rogue are standing in the crowd of people, and Jean remarks that she should be up there with Cyclops. Rogue reminds Jean that is not what Scott wanted, and that he didn’t eve want Colossus or Storm up there too. ‘What if something happens…?’ Jean whispers.
‘But. Maybe. One day. What can be forgotten is the lie that all mutants are evil’ Cyclops declares to the crowd. ‘This isn’t fun. You said it would be fun, Kitty’ the Human Torch remarks to Shadowcat as they stand in the crowd also. ‘I said it would be important, Johnny. That can sometimes be fun’ Kitty replies. ‘You sound like my sister’ Johnny snarls. ‘We are here because history is about to be changed. Because freedom is about to be changed’ Cyclops tells the crowd. ‘A vote is being taken in the Senate which will make it so all mutants must surrender themselves to the United States Government - or they will be hunted down and shot on sight!’.
With those words, there is a BOOM - and Cyclops’ head is blast apart. Blood splatters backwards, and Colossus and Storm drop down to help their friend. ‘Get the crowd back! AND FIND THAT SHOOTER!’ Carol Danvers booms. The SHIELD agents leap into action, pushing the protestors back, while Rogue holds Jean back, despite Jean’s protests, exclaiming that Scott needs her. ‘No. He needs to know that you are safe!’ Rogue exclaims, reminding Jean that Scott made her promise. ‘You promised that no matter what happened, you would stay out of harm’s way!’ Rogue exclaims.
Up on the stairs, Strom covers Cyclops’ face with her scarf. ‘Peter…he’s…Scott’s…’ Storm utters. ‘I know…’ Colossus replies. ‘When is this going to stop? When is this going to stop?’ Colossus asks, when suddenly, Carol Danvers and several SHIELD agents surround them. ‘I need you all to come with me. Please’ Carol tells the X-Men. Storm asks Colonel Danvers not to point those guns at them, while Carol tells Colossus not to even think about armoring up. ‘Don’t make this any worse than it has to be!’ Carol tells them. ‘How can it get any worse?!’ Colossus shouts.
In the slowly dispersing crowd, Iceman rushes towards the podium. ‘What do you think you’re doing?’ Kitty asks. ‘I’m going to help!’ Iceman replies. ‘No! You can’t leave me! You can’t leave me…not like everybody else does…’ Kitty whispers. And during the confusion, no one sees someone speed through the protestors….
Meanwhile, inside Castle van Damme in Latveria that night, Doom sits on his throne, while Namor is held prisoner in a tank nearby. ‘And so it ends…I have so little to show for my part in all this...except you, Namor. The last prisoner’ Doom remarks, when, suddenly, the door swings open, and a large cloaked figure enters. ‘How did you get in here!?’ Doom shouts. ‘Reed told me what ya did. Pushing Magneto’s buttons. Killing his daughter. Making it so he’d go to war. Thinking you get all the leftovers. Acting like the world was yours to play with’ the new arrival remarks to Doom.
‘You dare!’ Doom shouts as he unleashes a blast of energy at the intruder. But that does nothing save shred the intruder’s cloak - revealing his rocky form - it’s the Thing. ‘Yeah, I do, Vic. And you know why I’m here. With you doing who knows what with Namor there’ the Thing exclaims. ‘This is my home. Leave now. Or I will destroy you’ Doom warns Thing, while Namor watches the scene play out before him. ‘Reed doesn’t have the stomach for it. But, ya gotta pay for what you did. How everything that happened…it was all your fault!’ the Thing exclaims as he places his large rocky hands on Doom’s head. ‘Nooo - ackkkk…’ Doom mutters as the Thing crushes Doom’s head. Namor lets out a shocked gasp, while Thing looks at his blood-covered hand. ‘You hadda pay for what you did…’.
Meanwhile, in the fabled land of Wundagore, hidden in the Bavarian Alps. Something - someone - speeds up the side of a mountain and into a small cottage. It’s done!’ he announces, holding a bullet in his hand, he reveals that Cyclops has been assassinated. ‘I pushed this through his brain. The same bullet they shot the Scarlet Witch with…I thought you’d appreciate the irony’. Another voice asks if there were any problems, to which the first replies ‘No. It was quick’ as he holds up Magneto’s helmet - it is his son, Quicksilver.
Sabretooth and Mystique stand at the rear of the cottage, by the fire, while a mysterious woman stands in the shadows. ‘Good, Pietro. When the time is right, we’ll start over again without anyone to oppose us!’ the woman exclaims. ‘It is as it should be. As you planned’ Quicksilver replies. ‘He’d grown soft. Complacent. Much as it pains us to admit it. Only when he believed I had died…that he had lost his children…did he do what was necessary’ Quicksilver remarks. He declares that Magneto’s vengeance cleared the path for a better world. ‘My father is gone now…but his dream lives on…’.

Requiem
Triskelion, SHIELD Headquarters, where Director Carol Danvers strides down a corridor, accompanied by a SHIELD officer, she declares ‘Can’t believe this nightmare I’m @#$%$ trapped in’, before asking the officer to excuse her language. ‘Magneto destroys the world. Nearly. And who has to clean up the mess? Me. Carol Danvers, Director of SHIELD. Not a maid. They might as well hand me a mop!’. Carol remarks that they would not have treated Fury like this. ‘They would’ve told Fury to kick some ass and take some names. Because someone’s gotta pay. Someone’s gotta @#$%$ pay’.
Continuing down the corridor, Carol and her colleague do not notice Katherine “Kitty” Pryde, a.k.a. Shadowcat - formerly of the X-Men, phase through a wall - then run through the corridor and phase through another wall. ‘And just cause Magneto’s dead doesn’t mean they’re off the hook’ Carol remarks. ‘I’m sorry, Director - who?’ Carol’s colleague asks. ‘Have you been listening to a thing I said? Mutants. Mutants are gonna pay for this!’ Carol declares. ‘And that’s a good thing?’ the officer asks. ‘No’ Carol replies, but points out that is what happens. ‘Tragedy needs an enemy. Goat’s gotta be sacrificed. It’s just what happens’ she remarks, before turning to the wall that Kitty phased through. ‘What? What’s wrong?’ the officer asks. ‘Nothing. I don’t know. I thought I heard something. Hearing things now. Great!’ Carol mutters.
On the other side of the wall, Kitty swipes a security access card from an officer chatting to another, before entering a room where an officer sits at some monitors. Kitty smiles, before an officer calls out to her: ‘Hey!’, causing Kitty to spin around. ‘Ah -’ she exclaims as the officer points his weapon at her face. ‘Hands where I can see them!’ the officer exclaims. ‘Yeah - that’s not gonna help’ Kitty replies. ‘That so?’ the officer asks. ‘That is so, because I’m about to go full Gingerbread Man!’ Kitty exclaims as she becomes intangible, and runs away, with bullets passing through her.
Kitty swings on a pipe, then dives into the floor, passing into the room below. ‘Gotcha!’ she exclaims as she sets her eyes upon the only remaining part of Wolverine - his adamantium-laced arm and claws.
Meanwhile, in Salem Center, New York, at the home of the X-Men - or rather, what’s left of them. Rogue stands before a large tree, and tells it that she has nothing against it, and knows it is older then her, and beautiful - all of that. ‘And I can’t count how many times I’ve sat in your shade. Fallen asleep against your trunk. But I got a job. So if you have any last words, say them now’ Rogue tells the tree. A single leave passes Rogue, who catches it in her hand. ‘Sorry, buddy. Tears arent gonna work on me’ Rogue remarks. ‘Not today. We gotta make room!’ she exclaims as she uses her incredible strength to lift the tree right out of the ground, and tosses it into a pile of other uprooted trees.
Jean Grey - a.k.a. Marvel Girl approaches Rogue and asks her how it is going. ‘Last one’ Rogue replies. ‘That was fast’ Jean tells her. ‘Bonus to having absorbed Juggernaut’s strength’ Rogue tells Jean, who asks Rogue to come along, as Bobby is waiting. Jean telepathically contacts Bobby “Iceman” Drake and asks him if he is ready. Holding up a baseball, Bobby replies ‘Yeah. I mean no. No, Jean. Can’t Rogue do this?’ the young mutant asks. ‘I’ve done my part’ Rogue replies as she and Jean approach Bobby. ‘We need you’ Jean tells him. Bobby folds his arms and tells the girls that he should stay here. ‘It’s important that I stay here’.
Jean remarks that there are not many of them left. ‘We all have to do our share. Rogue’s cleared the field. You’ve done a great job with the morgue here. But it’s time to finish this’ Jean adds, holding up the visor of her dead boyfriend and teammate, Cyclops. ‘It’s time to say goodbye’ Jean exclaims, kneeling beside the body of Cyclops, laid out alongside several deceased X-Men - Angel, Beast, Psylocke, Dazzler, Nightcrawler and their founder, Professor X - along with Emma Frost and four of her Academy of Tomorrow students - Polaris, Cannonball, Cypher and Sunspot, and the Juggernaut, who was killed in battle at Xavier’s school.
Jean, Rogue and Iceman look at their home - the mansion, and Iceman declares that this isn’t right. ‘Just get it over with. Like ripping off a band-aid. A very, very big band-aid’. ‘Geez, dude. Do you even have an inch of regret? Or emotion?’ Bobby asks his ex-girlfriend, before he freezes the entire mansion. ‘This was Xavier’s home. It took him years to build!’ he points out. ‘It takes me seconds to destroy it. It isn’t right. It’s…it’s just not!’ Bobby exclaims as the mansion shatters, and crumbles in a dripping pile of ice. ‘It’s not our home. Not anymore’ Jean remarks, before Bobby asks ‘So, what now?’. ‘Now we dig’ Jean tells him.
Shortly, Rogue scoops up piles of dirt with the shovel off a bulldozer. ‘Says I don’t have an inch of emotion. Everyone mourns in their own way. Twerp. Can’t believe I ever kissed him’ Rogue mutters, when, suddenly, Gambit appears. ‘You kissed another man?’ he asks. ‘Guess I shoulda known you was gonna move on. Eventually’ he remarks. ‘Remy? But you’re…?’ Rogue gasps. ‘Dead. Seems to contagious!’ Gambit remarks, before Rogue is shocked with electrical energy, and falls into the empty grave she has just been digging. A voice suggests that they should bury her, but someone else remarks that they just needed her out of the way.
Jean uses her telekinesis to lower the earth back onto a grave, when a voice remarks ‘That’d be cool if it wasn’t so morbid’. It’s Kitty Pryde, who carries a sack, and asks Jean why she is only doing one grave at a time. ‘Figured you could do the whole lot’. Jean ignores the question, simply asking Shadowcat ‘Did you get it?’. ‘Yeah’ Kitty replies. ‘Did anyone see you?’ Jean asks. ‘Maybe. No. I don’t know’ Kitty exclaims. ‘Kitty’ Jean mutters, before Kitty sets the sack down and remarks that just because she doesn’t make a sound when she walks, it doesn’t make her a ninja. ‘Stealth was his job’ she points out.
Jean opens the sack, and pulls out the bone and claws belonging to her ex-boyfriend. ‘Maybe this is a mistake. Someone could find it. Clone it or worse’ she points out. ‘They can’t’ Kitty exclaims, revealing to Jean that she saw some SHIELD files which said SHIELD already tried. ‘Those jerks’ Kitty adds, before explaining that whatever Magneto did, it killed all Wolverine’s cells. Logan’s gone, Jean’ Kitty adds.
Suddenly, a voice exclaims ’Wah. Wah. Wah’, and standing before Jean and Kitty are Mystique and Sabretooth - constant thorns in the X-Men’s side - along with a being called Assemble who is large and dead-looking, wearing a costume similar to Captain America’s. ’I thought you all were supposed to be the X-Men’ Sabretooth snarls. ’The hell you think you’re doing here?’ Shadowcat snaps, angrily. Mystique assures them that they come in peace. ’Seriously’ she tells them, before pointing out that after everything that has happened, it is not going to be safe for any of them.  ‘You think?’ Jean retorts, while Mystique declares ‘They’re gonna come after us. You know that. You hear their thoughts. Why do you think Magneto cobbled this guy together?’ Mystique asks, motioning to Assemble. ‘It’s time we had our own Ultimates’ Mystique adds.
‘What’re they doing here?’ Iceman asks as he joins his friends. ‘Groveling’ Kitty replies, while Jean tells Mystique that she showed a funny way of teamwork by knocking out Rogue. Mystique replies that Rogue as a temper, that she would not have understood and punches would have been thrown. ‘I was hoping you’d be more civil. If I had a hat, it’d be in my hand. Okay?’ Mystique adds, before declaring that they have to stay together. ‘All of us. Post-humans. Mutants. We’ve gotta have each other’s backs. You understand the need. The, you know, the necessity. It’s time to start again. A new - team’.
Mystique tells Jean that she cannot ignore this. ‘It’s what the X-Men are for. Isn’t it? I mean, isn’t it?’ she asks. ‘It is’ Jean replies, her eyes flaring up. ‘You can’t blame us for Magneto. Can you?’ Mystique asks. ‘I can’ Jean tells her, remarking that Mystique watched while Magneto killed millions. ‘While he destroyed lives and ruined families. Our family’. Jean adds that Magneto is a murderer, but that Mystique could have stopped him, and didn’t. ‘You just…you didn’t. You’re worse than Magneto. You’re cowards’ she tells Mystique and Sabretooth. ‘So…that’s a “no”?’ Sabretooth asks.
Jean responds by informing Mystique and Sabretooth that they are being taken into SHIELD. ‘You can rot in their torture chambers’ she adds, pointing out that mutants like Mystique and Sabretooth are the reason mutants are feared and hated by humans. ‘You. And you’ll pay for that!’ Jean declares. ‘Told you we shouldn’t have come’ Sabretooth mumbles. ‘Shut up’ Mystique tells him, while Sabretooth points out that they won’t let them go without a fight. ‘You’re damn right we won’t!’ Marvel Girl exclaims as she punches Mystique hard in the face. ‘That hurt, you cow!’ Mystique exclaims, rubbing her jaw. ‘I could rip you apart. Atom by bleeding atom. But I’m not gonna’ Jean warns Mystique. ‘I’m just gonna knock the living @#$% out of you!’
Sabretooth lunges at Kitty, but she becomes intangible, so he passes through her, while remarking that she has Wolverine’s stench all over her. ‘He took an interest, didn’t he? Let’s see what he taught ya!’ Sabretooth remarks. Iceman stands before Assemble: ‘So that leaves you and me. Can’t say I’m thrilled. Feels like I’m a little outmatched’ Bobby remarks. ‘SMASH!’ Assemble cries. ‘Yeah. This isn’t gonna be good’ Bobby remarks. ‘SMASH!’ Assemble shouts again as he brings his axe down on Bobby. ‘You say that a lot. Don’tcha’ Bobby adds. ‘SMASH!’ Assemble replies, while Bobby suggests they talk this out. ‘SMASH!’ Assemble shouts again. ‘Okay. Maybe we can’t’ Bobby mutters, before creating an ice-sled to get higher up from Assemble.
‘So you’re a robot version of Cap, Thor and Hulk’ Bobby remarks, telling himself that he has to make this a distance game - until he and his ice-sled crash into Assemble, who has grown in height. ‘Forgot about Giant Man’ Bobby mutters. Sabretooth tells Kitty that she has to make herself solid at some point, and warns her that when she does, he is going to gut her. ‘And you know why? Because it’d @#$% him off!’ Sabretooth remarks, referring of course to Wolverine. ‘Come on! Come on!’ Sabretooth snarls as he continues to pass through Kitty. Turing his back to Shadowcat, Sabretooth declares that he doesn’t know what Wolverine saw in her, as she is weak and frail. ‘Might as well off yourself’ he tells her. ‘unless you grow a pair soon, you’re gonna get dead anyway’ Sabretooth remarks, when, suddenly, Shadowcat shouts ‘Hey!’, before shoving Wolverine’s claws through Sabretooth’s chest. ‘You -’ he begins. ‘Me!’ Kitty declares, while blood begins to pour from Sabretooth’s chest, and he keels over.
Mystique asks Marvel Girl if she is sure she is blaming the right people here. ‘You sure this whole thing isn’t your fault?’ she asks. Jean asks Mystique what she is talking about, to which Mystique begins shape shifting - firstly into Beast. ‘Maybe if you’d been stronger. If you’d been smarter’ she exclaims. ‘Faster. Better. Maybe we’d be alive!’ Mystique adds as she shifts into Dazzler and punches Jean in the face. ‘Bring them back. You have the power. After Apocalypse. Angel was dead. You saved him’ Mystique declares as she morphs into Angel. ‘Do it again! Do it!’ she shouts, changing into Xavier. ‘SAVE ME!’ Mystique exclaims, posing as Cyclops next, before Jean shoves Mystique aside with a telekinetic push. ‘I can’t!’ she exclaims.
‘I can’t!’ Jean exclaims again, hanging her head. ‘Why not? Seriously. Why?’ asks Rogue, who has regained consciousness. Rubbing her head, Jean replies that she is not Phoenix - that Phoenix is gone. ‘Because I brought Warren back to life. Because I wanted to do it again. In my heart. Tried so hard. To save Scott. And Charles. And…I can’t. I can’t. I’ve been - pushed. I’m unworthy. Selfish. I wasted it. I wasted it all…’ Jean reveals, when, suddenly, she is knocked out by a blast of energy. Assemble stands over Jean and Rogue: ‘Smash!’ he exclaims, to which Rogue calls him a piece of junk and punches him in the face. ‘You wanna smash? Me too! SMASH!’ Rogue exclaims as she continues to punch the creature’s face.
‘SMA -AARGGH!’ Rogue exclaims as Assemble pushes her to the ground with his oversized fist. ‘Jean!’ Kitty calls out, while Jean tells her that it is okay, that she wasn’t good enough. ‘I wasn’t…I deserve to be with them. I -’ she begins, when, suddenly, Assemble’s head is sliced off - by Captain America who catches his shield as it returns to him, and he stands on Assemble’s fallen body. ‘I came to pay my respects’ Captain America announces.
Shortly, the final bodies are laid to rest. Kitty places Wolverine’s arm and claws into a small grave, while Iceman tosses some dirt into a grave. Marvel Girl lowers Cyclops into his final resting place, and Rogue re-plants the large tree she uprooted. Captain America joins the four mutants in a moment of silence, before Jean hugs the sobbing Kitty. Fifteen unmarked graves now line an area of land several yards from the demolished mansion.
Later, Iceman and Kitty depart on an ice-sled, while Rogue walks away in a separate direction, leaving Marvel Girl to sit beside a large piece of stone, near the graves. She looks around her, before raising a finger, her eyes flare up, as she begins etching something into the stone, and standing beside it:
They didn’t ask to be different or to be heroes. But they accepted the challenge. They were a team. They were a family. They are the X-Men.

Yesterday Didn’t Exist
(The Year 3193):‘The Infinity Watch stands ready to aid the heroes of the past, Immortus’ a man who appears to be the Vision, with the power of the Phoenix floating around him, announces as he stands with six others, including Starhawk, Yondu and Martinex of the Guardians of the Galaxy. ‘There must be a way to pierce the Apocalypse Twins’ tachyon dam!’ a man with white hair wearing a green, white and gold costume declares, while Immortus stands before the men and tells them that it rests on the shoulders of the Avengers. ;This was in an era when they were at their peak strength. Before the Red Onslaught and the Decline’ a man in a red and blue costume points out. ‘Yes, but time is catching up to us’ Immortus agrees, motioning out a window, reality around them is vanishing. ‘Stand ready, my Infinity Watch, hope remains…though it dwindles quickly’ Immortus announces.
(Present)At Avengers Tower, Manhattan, some of the most brilliant minds on Earth have gathered in one laboratory. ‘With a portal large enough, we could hurl the Celestial into the Negative Zone’ Hank Pym suggests. ‘Using a gravity belt, bending space, to slingshot the Celestial through’ the vision remarks. But Dr Doom declares that it is far too perilous, and that mutually assured destruction is the best answer. ‘We must locate the Ultimate Nullifier -’ he begins, while Bruce Banner offers the idea of jumping back in time to warn themselves, before revealing that something is barring time travel into or out of this era. ‘If it happened, it happened, it’s locked in place now. We haven’t been able to send a message -’ Banner begins, before Tony Star tells everyone to shut up, he points out that they don’t have time to go hunting for the Nullifier or send anyone back in time. ‘Simplify’ he states.
Tapping away at strange diagrams on a large screen, Tony announces that they just need to contain Exitar, and long enough to discover why he is here giving their little world the big thumbs down. ‘I can tell you why, Tony’ a voice declares over the communicator. The image of Janet Van Dyne a.k.a. the Wasp appears onscreen, and Tony tells her that he would love it if she had some idea as to what is going on. The Wasp reports that a duo known as the Apocalypse Twins have framed humanity for killing Celestials. Running along the Apocalypse Ark, space all around her, the Wasp informs Tony that Thor is on his way to recover the axe they used to do it. ‘One of his, as it turns out’ she adds, remarking that if Thor can’t reason with the Executioner, he means to stop it by force.
‘Right. Sure. Thor means to execute the Celestial Executioner’ Tony mutters, adding ‘Perfectly reasonable. And what if he fails?’ The Wasp reports that the twins have a device that prevents time travel - a tachyon dam, and that Immortus sent Cap a message - if they can take the dam out, Immortus will come stop this. She announces that she is en route now, and tells Tony not to worry, as se will do whatever it takes.
Inside the sprawling Ark, ‘Every possible future of Earth - gone’ Eimin announces to her brother, Uriel, while Steve Rogers a.k.a. Captain America is restrained nearby. ‘Whoever said revenge was a vile motive never achieved it on this scale’ Eimin decides, but Uriel tells his sister that this is more than that, as this is justice. ‘Justice for what was about to happen to our people’ he explains. ‘Justice for a human race that stood by and allowed it to happen’ he adds, which Captain America overhears, staring out the window into space. ‘Justice to the “father” who tortured us, Uriel’ Eimin agrees. A figure soars through space towards the Ark, ‘What will you conquer now, Kang?’ Eimin grins, before Cap calls out ‘Pardon. Hate to interrupt the gloating…but you have company’, just as his friend and teammate, Thor, smashes through the window.
Thor’s hammer glows, as the air is sucked out through the hole. Cap is secure in the restraints, but his shield flies straight towards Thor, who grabs it. Eimin slams her hand down on a button, and panels slide across to cover the smashed window. Holding Cap’s shield and his hammer, Thor tells the Apocalypse Twins that they have stolen what is his, called this dread down from the far realms to destroy his home, that they have twisted the rules of life and resurrected those better left dead. ‘Surrender. Return Jarnbjorn. Or I will kill you both’ Thor warns the Apocalypse Twins, throwing Cap’s shield at the restraints which hold the hero captive, they shatter. Cap takes his shield and joins his friend’s side.
‘As Wolverine killed our father? The slaughter that set all this in motion. The murder we used to break your team apart. My sister has foretold the outcome’ Uriel smiles. ‘Come then - test her prophecy’ Thor suggests, swooping towards Uriel, who fires a blast of energy at the god, ‘Your struggle is futile, hypocrite. Not even a god can fight time itself’. Uriel points out as the energy engulfs Thor. ‘But he can misdirect you away from the true threat’ Cap calls out, tossing his shield, it slams into Uriel’s stomach, knocking him back. Cap’s shield returns to him, and he informs Thor, who has gathered himself, that the Twins’s time powers only work when they are together. Thor asks Cap what his orders are, and pointing ahead, Cap instructs Thor to separate the Twins.
Thor flies forward, his hammer strikes Uriel and he pushes his foe through the walls of the Ark until the reach the garden area. ‘You have brought war to my home, little bird. It is time you learned what that entails!’ Thor declares, slamming Uriel into the ground, while, back in the other room, Eimin throws acid bubbles towards Cap once more, but this time he blocks them with his shield, which he then throws at the woman, striking her head. Lightning crackles around Thor’s hammer as Uriel boasts that he has already won this war, defeated thde terrible foes that Thor couldn’t. ‘Foredoomed the Red Skull! Outmaneuvered Kang!’ he exclaims. But Thor replies that he cares not, and brings his hammer down, striking the mutant, who falls to the grass. ‘Fine. We’ll play this out to the end’ Uriel replies, as he fires shards of energy at Thor, which strike him, and force him to the ground, as Uriel flies off.
As Exitar the Executioner stands over the planet Earth, his feet clearly visible over New York, where several heroes have assembled, as Dr Strange calls out ‘Hear me, heroes of Earth. Now, in this hour of grave peril. It is our fated charge, the test of our era. We must turn back this great cosmic executioner…and we dare not fail’. Flying alongside Dr Strange are group comprised of powerful beings or skilled fighters: Captain Britain, the Falcon, Namor the Sub-Mariner, Sabra, Hyperion, Talisman and Iron Patriot. Dr Strange tells the heroes that they have but this one opportunity, for if Exitar descends, he will obliterate the world.
At that moment, the Wasp rushes forth to the tachyon dam, with no idea what kind of blast to expect once she zaps it. ‘Smart money is on big’ Janet thinks to herself. She tells herself that she doesn’t get to worry about that, she just has to do her job and hope like hell that she is faster than a giant explosion. But before she can fire her energy blasts, ‘Hey, Wasp!’ a voice calls out - it’s the Grim Reaper, who rushes towards her, knocking her off balance. ‘What are you up to? Trying to open the time door?’ he enquires, lashing out with his scythe. He pins the Wasp to the ground and holds his scythe towards her. ‘Bring in some reinforcements from the future? Sounds like a good plan, I bet’ he remarks. ‘Damn it, Reaper! Do you know what these maniacs have in mind?’ the Wasp asks. ‘Sure I do’ the Grim Reaper replies, bringing the Wasp’s fist to his chin, he tells the Wasp that all she has to do to stop them is kill him again. ‘Only option to get me out of your way. C’mon, send me back to where I belong. Quick! Cause if you don’t… everyone left on Earth dies’.
Back in the garden, Thor tries to brush the energy shards off of himself, when, he suddenly notices a body lying in the long grass. His curiosity turns to despair when he sees the Scarlet Witch a.k.a. Wanda Maximoff, cold and lifeless. Thor goes over to her, and looks at his friend and teammate, before shutting her eyelids. His expression then turns from sorrow, to fury.
Cap leaps into the air to dodge Eimin as she swipes towards him. ‘I spent my youth suffering in the Red Skull’s death camps - because you were too inept to stop him!’ Eimin snarls, releasing more acid bubbles, which Cap dodges. He leaps towards her, ‘What are you good for, Captain?’ Eimin asks, before Cap lands on her wings, ‘Fighting’ he tells her as he slams his shield into one of her wings, dragging Eimin down as she screams. ‘And throwing this shield’ he adds as hew tosses it towards the mutant, who dodges it, and the shield strikes the wall. ‘You’re not even good at that, old man’ Eimin points out as she lunges forward, her claws raking across Cap’s chest. Eimin kicks Cap in his back and tells him not to go to his grave mired in illusions. Cap falls forward to the wall where his shield is embedded. ‘You never stood a chance. You’re decades past your prime’ Eimin snarls as she edges closer to the hero. ‘Might be true’ Cap admits. ‘But still, somehow - I got you right where I wanted you’. With that, he holds onto his shield, and his free hand slams down on a button on the console before him.
‘NO!’ Eimin screams as the panel blocking the smashed window opens, and she is sicked out into space. Cap holds on for dear life, but manages to reach forward and slams the button down, closing the panel, he drops to his knees.
‘Janbjorn… how fitting that Thor’s greatest act of hubris… created the weapon that will be used to end him’ Uriel remarks as he climbs some stairs and approaches the weapon, hanging against a wall. But, before he can take the weapon, Thor’s hammer slams into the back of his head. ‘Face me, dog’ Thor declares as his hammer returns to him. ‘You!’ Uriel exclaims as he sees Thor. ‘You did this, you know. Kang manipulated you like a child! This is all because of your pride, Thunder God!’ Uriel explains. ‘Then my hand shall end it’ Thor replies, running towards Uriel, who has gotten to his feet, the mutant declares that Midgard will burn for her sins. ‘A footnote in the history of a new kingdom’ Uriel announces as he releases more shards of energy towards Thor, who spins his trusty hammer, deflecting the energy shards.
Thor moves towards Uriel, who stands his ground and announces ‘We’re simply putting these primates out of their misery. What you fight to stop - it is evolution’. Thor responds by slamming his hammer down in front of Uriel, knocking his foe backwards. ‘I care not’ Thor declares as he hovers over Uriel, before bringing the hammer down to his foe’s face. Thor picks up the limp Uriel and holds in the air, while his hammer spins. ‘You waged a war, little bird. Now see how wars are won. Would-be kings burnt to ash!’ Thor moves closer to some sort of energy field in the room. ‘Stop! This was not foretold! I serve the will of the cosmos!’ Uriel pleads. ‘I. Care. NOT’ Thor booms as he shoves Uriel into the energy field, and the mutant’s mouth opens as if to scream. There is an explosion, and the room around Thor starts to crumble.
Thor is now hovering in space, and flies towards Janrborn which came loose in the explosion - but he is not the only one reaching for the deadly weapon. ‘You want Janbjorn, Thunder God? You want to save this doomed world?’ a voice calls out. It’s Eimin, who holds the weapon proudly overhead, with Exitar still standing over the Earth ins spectacular display, Thor raises his hammer, as Eimin tells him ‘Come and take it!’

Ragnarok Now
At some point in time, there is darkness all around. Alex “Havok” Summers thinks: ‘They’ll tell you it was unavoidable. Even if the mutants had been there to help. It was not unavoidable, Katie. We brought it on ourselves’.
He recalls a time when he was entrusted to ensure unity - but they were anything but united, and he owes it to his comrades to continue looking for a solution. ’Should your mother and I fail in our mission - they will kill us. They’ll tell you lies. Tell you there is no hope. My dear daughter, if you remember nothing else that I’ve taught you, remember this. There is always hope’.
Now, on Earth: ‘Calm down, citizens! Have some faith! The Avengers have a plan!’ the Superior Spider-Man calls out as he, Iron Fist and Daredevil are in New York, civilians rush past them in a panic. ‘Can’t blame ‘em, Spidey… this time does feel different’ Iron Fist remarks, looking to the sky.
Up at Stark Tower, the Hulk, Hank Pym, Iron Man, the Vision and Dr Doom are working together. A large device has been constructed, while many monitors and computer panels are hooked up to it. Iron Man remarks that Doom’s force field was never intended to encompass this kind of space, so the only way it is going to hold is if the Hulk can keep the electromagnetic anchors in place. ‘Fate of the world and all of that, okay?’ Iron Man adds, while the Hulk stands in the middle of the contraption projecting the force field, holding two parts of it together. ‘Who’s the strongest one there is?’ Iron Man asks. ‘Hulk can hold. Just don’t make Hulk listen to puny Stark explain’ the Hulk declares. ‘Figured that might angry up the blood a bit and - my God… he’s coming’ Iron Man utters, looking to the sky, which glows orange.
At the same time, several heroes who can breathe in space are flying with purpose - Dr Strange, Captain Britain, Iron Patriot, Hyperion and Air-Walker are at the front of the group, as Iron Man radios Dr Strange, informing him that they need a few more minutes to complete this time. ‘Can your team buy us some time?’ he asks. ‘By the Hoary Hosts of Hoggoth, we’ll do our best, Iron Man’ Strange responds as he and the others arrive where the Celestial Exitar the Executioner has positioned himself over the planet Earth. ‘Yet even if this works, even if we can temporarily hold back his descent… can even Thor call this Celestial executioner off?’ Dr Strange wonders.
Deeper in space, just beyond the Apocalypse Ark. ‘My eyes are blind - but I can see!’ Eimin, one of the Apocalypse Twins declares as she slams the axe Jarnbjorn against Thor’s mighty hammer, Mjolnir. She then extends one of her wings, shoving it into Thor, he reels backwards. ‘I foresaw you slay my brother, Thor - yet moved forward regardless. I loved him more than life itself - but hate Kang so much more!’ Raising the axe over her head, she declares ‘Hatred bright enough that I gave my own brother to death’s cold slumber’.
Thor tells Eimin not to fret, and flying forward, he slams into her, ‘You will join him soon enough’ he warns her. Thor pushes Eimin hard enough that they burst back into the Apocalypse Ark, and when they hit the floor, Eimin drops the axe. They both get to their feet, and Eimin asks Thor if it is painful to see the solution to his woes so close at hand. ‘If only you could brandish Jarnbjorn, you could kill the Executioner and save Earth!’ she points out. ‘I shall!’ Thor declares, flying forward, while Eiumin releases some of her acid balls and tells Thor that, try as he might, it is futile, for even if he could reclaim Jarnbjorn, Earth’s fate lies in the hands of another.
Elsewhere, ‘C’MON - hurry, Wasp! Time’s short! Get to it! Release me from this nightmare and save the world!’ Eric Williams a.k.a. the Grim Reaper goads Janet Van Dyne, the Wasp, as he holds her hand to his neck. The Grim Reaper tells the Wasp that here it is - the hard line she judges Wolverine so harshly for. ‘Make the choice! Compromise your ethics or lose everything!’ But the Wasp replies that she will find another way, and tells the Reaper that she won’t kill him. ‘Then you’ve already lost, insect’ the Grim Reaper declares, tossing the Wasp backwards, he then holds his ionic-scythe to her, ‘All for some pious ideology - some imagined relevance! How can mercy be the right choice - if it ends if in so much death?’ he asks.
Back on Earth, Dr Doom announces that it is complete as he stands by a computer console. ‘Are you ready, you mindless brute?’ he asks the Hulk, who tells him to shut up. ‘Of course. But do try to stay angry…the fate of the world rests on your idiot shoulders’ The Hulk roars as he holds the magnets in place, and in space, Dr Strange goes wide-eyed, and reports to Iron Man that it is working. ‘The field is holding!’ he announces as he looks on, and sees Exitar’s foot unable to press down on the Earth, as a large electromagnetic field comes between his foot and the planet. ‘All right, Thor. WE bought you some time. Now do us all a big favor… and save the world’ Iron Man utters.
Thor throws his hammer, ‘Your wicked premonitions will not come to pass!’ he tells Eimin, who ducks, dodging the hammer. ‘I will commune with Exitar. Explain that this is not the work of mankind - but of monsters in our midst’ Thor declares, as the hammer strikes a beam behind Eimin, causing the level above her to collapse - right on top of her, trapping her body in the rubble. Thor walks over to the Janbjorn axe, Eimin’s motionless arm is sticking out of the rubble, as Thor declares that if the Celestial will not listen to reason, then he will fell him.
At Stark Tower, energy surrounds the Hulk as he continues to hold the magnets in place. The Vision tells him that he is doing wonderfully. ‘I can only imagine the strain. Please, you must hold -’ he begins, while Iron Man suddenly reports that they have a fracture. He announces that he will seal the crack, and he fires a beam of energy into the equipment - but suddenly, the top of Stark Tower explodes!
And at the same time, the force field surrounding the Earth vanishes, and Exitar’s feet start to sink down into the planet.
‘You hear that? It’s happening. The lady Eimin - she sees the future through music. We’re all just going through the motions here’ the Grim Reaper tells the Wasp, maintaining his scythe at the heroine’s neck, he promises her that unless she can change the game, unless she can kill him, Earth is done for. The Wasp listens to the old Avengers’ foe, who glares at her and remarks that he doesn’t think she could choose to kill him if she wanted to. ‘Can dance if you don’t know the moves’ he points out. Suddenly, ‘It’s true -’ a voice calls out, as Steve Rogers a.k.a. Captain America leaps at the Grim Reaper, ‘Mind if I step in for the lady?’ he asks, kicking the Grim Reaper in the face. ‘Destroy the tachyon dam! I’ve got Reaper!’ Captain America instructs the Wasp, as the Grim Reaper gathers himself and rushes towards Captain America, he tells him that he has nothing. ‘Big fat zero!’ the Grim Reaper declares as his ionic scythe slams against Captain America’s shield, while the Wasp’s bio-sting is fired into the tachyon dam.
Thor hovers before Exitar, ‘Hear me! You play into the hands of a vile fiend! Turn back! Mankind shall not be erased due to the actions of a few madmen!’ Thor calls out to the Celestial, but gets no response as the cosmic being is now ankle-deep in the Earth. ‘They aren’t listening, God of Thunder!’ Eimin exclaims as she appears, and flies straight into Thor, lashing out at his wounded arm with her claws, she manages to smack the axe out of his grasp. Eimin remarks that the Celestials’ laws are ironclad and that their judgment is made.
‘Need more time, Steve! Used all of my stinger strength fighting the Sentry!’ the Wasp calls out as she continues to pour her energy into the tachyon dam. The Grim Reaper spins his scythe towards Cap and tells Janet that she missed her chance. ‘It would be so much easier for you if you could see that. And you, Captain America - do you get it now?’ he asks, as his scythe slams into Cap’s shield, and at its speed, knocks Cap’s trusty weapon out of his grasp. ‘Do you feel the futility of your agony and effort? All these years struggling to hold it together - all for nothing’ the Grim Reaper grins, before lunging forward and as Cap screams, the Grim Reaper is drenched in blood - the blood of a hero, as Cap’s body falls to the ground. ‘Steve?’ the horrified Wasp utters, turning back. A pool of blood as has formed around Cap’s lifeless form, as the Grim Reaper stands over him, his scythe covered in blood. ‘He’s gone, sweetheart. Gone like all of your hopes and dreams’.
Eimin tells Thor to take solace, and raising the axe over her head she explains that this is hyper-evolution, survival of the fittest. ‘And you see now - there is none more fit than I!’ She swings the axe and it slams into Thor, knocking him backwards.
Back on Earth, the Hulk, the Vision, Dr Doom and Iron Man are on the ground now, as buildings around them crumble as lava bursts up from the earth. ‘How could we possibly stand against such terrible wrath? Motes screaming into the abyss’ the Vision remarks. Iron Man puts a hand on the Vision’s shoulder and points out that hey held it back for a time, fought as hard as they could. ‘Yes, we did old friend - yet they found us lacking’ the Vision replies, while Exitar’s body is now two-thirds sunken into the Earth. ‘Somehow, in the grand judgment of the cosmos…we have failed’.
Elsewhere in space, Uatu the Watcher observes the catastrophe, and hangs his head as the planet Earth breaks into hundreds of pieces in a fiery orange blur with Exitar at the core of it all. Nearby, Thor looks on, wide-eyed in horror.
Eimin has returned to the Apocalypse Ark, ‘We did it, Uriel. We took everthing from Kang, dear brother. Everything he dreamed of. There is no more Earth to conquer’ she grins wickedly.
Thor spins his hammer, and a portal opens. He flies through it, as the exploding remains of the Earth are blasted towards him and the rubble crashes against the Earth’s moon, with the Apocalypse Ark hovered in nearby.
Asgard-Space, where Thor emerges through the portal, some of the rubble remains of Earth came with him. Thor slowly struggles to gets to his feet, throwing his helmet off. He hangs his head, and covers his face with a hand. ‘No…please no…Earth…all of it…’ his voice trails off. ‘Gone. It was always to be this way, my son’ Odin announces as he appears next to Thor. ‘You warned me, father…the day I enchanted that cursed axe’ Thor remembers. Odin looks down at his son and points out that he merely provided the key to unlock this terrible fate. ‘The denizens, and heroes of Midgard allowed petty differences and petulant squabbling to stand in the way of their own future’ he adds. Odin tells Thor that there is a point in the evolution of any species where they must discard their tribal instincts and unite as one people - one cohesive representative of their world on the cosmic stage.
‘This is the test of all life. To see their world relative to the stars. To finally absorb how meaningless their rage at their brothers and sisters truly is!’ Odin exclaims. ‘You knew… knew this was coming…’ Thor utters. Odin extends a hand to help his son stand up and tells him that if the people of Earth didn’t unite, but he had great expectations that they would. ‘Yet they continue to war over their trifling differences. Combat, their only means of solution. Too savage to be allowed to join the cosmic community… and the Celestials deemed them unworthy for it’. Odin starts to turn away as Thor does not take his father’s hand. ‘As hard as it will be to accept it… the true fault lies with men… Ragnarok was their choice’ Odin adds, before he turns away completely and leaves Thor, kneeling on the barren landscape.
