Avenge the Earth, part two
The headquarters of the X-Council, which hovers high above the sprawling metropolis that is Planet X. Right now, the members of the X-Council are seated in their meeting chamber, listening to the mutant called Eimin, who reminds them that six years ago, when their people were imperilled by the hubris of Thor, she worked with the Scarlet Witch to enact a mutant rapture, and that there was no time to consult any of them. Eimin claims that it was not how she wanted things, but that she could not risk failure, as she had foreseen Thor and the cost of his wicked god-killing axe. She clenches her fists as she declares that she had foreseen his arrogant disregard for the laws of their universe call the wrath of the Celestials down upon them. ‘I acted swiftly to protect our people. And make no mistake - you are only alive because of my actions’.
The X-Council, including Cyclops, Storm, Cable, Psylocke, Quicksilver and the young Jean Grey, listen intently, as Eimin asks them to heed her plea to action, as they face an equal danger. ‘Alex Summers - aptly codenamed Havok - has put Planet X in dire jeopardy’ she announces. Eimin informs the X-Council that hours ago, Havok and his human wife destroyed the Tachyon Dam that safeguards them from temporal disturbances.
‘And I’ve discovered why!’ a voice calls out. The X-Council and Eimin turn to see Magneto approaching them, with Janet van Dyne a.k.a. the Wasp trapped in a small metal globe. ‘They hope to find a way to travel back to the Day of Armageddon and save their Earth’ Magneto explains. ‘A noble endeavor, were it possible’ Eimin remarks. Magneto states that it is not possible, and adds that if they fail to stop Alex, his misguided efforts will destroy all they have worked for. ‘All my daughter died to save us from will not be undone’ Magneto declares.
‘Could he have found a way to actually do this?’ the young Jean Grey enquires. Storm tells Erik that Jean asks the right question. ‘While we’ve exhausted every possible avenue, perhaps Alex has discovered a way. We must at least -’ Storm begins, before Cable interrupts her, stating that there is no stopping the Celestial executioner. ‘My calculations are sound’ Cable declares. He explains that if a physical body is hurled back against that tachyon wall, it would shatter, crumbling their entire timeline in on itself. Cyclops remarks that Alex is a frustrating hothead, but he doesn’t see him going to such trouble unless he had evidence there was hope. ‘If he’d discovered a solution, why not contact us?’ Cyclops asks. ‘I can’t say, Scott’ Cable replies, adding ‘Leaning into my natural love of paranoia, I’d wager he doesn’t trust someone in this room. Or maybe he thinks we lack the stones to do the hard thing - to save the Earth and destroy Planet X’.
Eimin tells the X-Council that they all mourn their friends and home, but the Celestials made certain no one could undo their verdict. ‘We will not risk our world, and all that remains of mankind, over one man’s delusional speculation’ Eimin declares. ‘Every building painstakingly erected, torn down. Every child born, erased. Everything we have fought for - destroyed. While we all understand why he fights so hard, Havok must also accept reality. Make no mistake, X-Men, if Alex is not stopped - we face the end of our reality’ Magneto announces.
Storm and Cyclops look at each other, before Cyclops turns to Eimin: ‘All right, Lady Eimin’ he remarks. Storm announces that she and Cyclops will run the operation. Eimin agrees, and points out that there is no more time for deliberation. Go, now - get Havok’ she tells them.
In a hidden location: There has been thirty minutes of screaming. Futile indignation. A tired mind’s plea for relevancy to an indifferent universe. A dad trying to protect his daughter and do the right thing - with no good path toward either’. ‘You’re out of your mind!’ Alex “Havok” Summers shouts as he and Henry McCoy a.k.a. the Beast stand together with Alex’s daughter, Katie, as Thor, Alex’s teammate, stands before him with Kang the Conqueror, and an assortment of the most deadly beings from across multiple Time Streams - Ahab, Doom 2099, Arno Stark, Abomination Deathlok, Magistrate Braddock, May Parker and Stryfe. ‘How can you trust him, Thor? Any of them?’ Havok asks. ‘Because I have tried every other possible way to save Midgard, Alex. Every waking moment I have hunted for the means to a solution. Kang offers the only viable option’ Thor explains.
‘As much as I share your mistrust, Alex… it is in Kang’s best interest’ the Beast remarks, pointing at Kang. ‘A man who lives entirely for the purpose of conquering Earth would want to see things set right again’ Hank adds. ‘Smart monkey’ Kang smirks, before turning to Havok and telling him that they both want the Earth back. ‘And you can’t accomplish this without me. How many different ways must you be told this?’ he asks. Motioning to Alex’s daughter, Kang knows that Alex is nervous and carries a heavy responsibility. ‘I am no fool, all has been worked out. My Chronos Corps is composed of a band handpicked to undo the damage my adopted twins have wrought’ Kang reveals. ‘But only together’ Doom 2099 states, adding that no physical body can be sent back - but they can send consciousnesses back. Kang reminds Havok that his “unity” division was the only one close enough to change what happened - provided they manage to work together just this one time.
‘All I have to do is gather the surviving Avengers Unity Squad members and convince them to allow Kang to strip our consciousness from our bodies and trust Dr Doom and Stryfe to send us back in time safely?’ Havok asks. The stern-faced Magistrate Braddock assures Havok that they have no possible ulterior motives. ‘We merely want to see Earth saved and our timelines given an opportunity to exist’ she explains, before giving him her every assurance she can safely pluck his consciousness from his body.
Stryfe’s eyes glow as he states that using their combined technologies, they can safely send their minds back, through the Tachyon Dam, to inhabit their past selves, giving them a chance to undo their great failure.
Arno Stark, or Iron Man 2020 as he is also known, tells Havok that they have gone through every possible scenario and the only way for this to work is if they send all of them back - each of them assigned a specific task, culminating in the salvation of Earth. ‘Summers, I believe this can work’ he declares.
‘What happens to my daughter? Sending our consciousness back in time doesn’t help me protect the most important person to me’ Havok points out, before announcing ‘Count me out. This was never the plan’. He frowns and looks at his daughter as he holds her in his arms. ‘We all go back, intact, or none of us do’ he tells everyone. Kang assures Havok that he understands his predicament - quite an ethical quandary. ‘An opportunity to save billions of lives at the cost of a beloved daughter’. Katie Summers glances at Kang, ‘Daddy… I want them to go’ she utters. ‘Soon, Angel’ Alex replies, while Kang offers to make Alex and Katie a promise - and make this decision much easier for him. ‘Everything is going to work out. It is. You will go back with your friends and you will save my planet’. Kang continues, stating on his life that he will allow no harm to befall Havok’s daughter. He walks over and puts his hand on Katie’s arm, assuring Alex that when Earth is saved and he has done his job, he will return Katie to him. With that, Kang and Katie Summers suddenly vanish. ‘Katie!’ Alex shouts, as Kang’s voice can be heard, warning Alex that if he fails, he will never see her again.
‘What? What the hell? Where did they go?’ Havok shouts. He spins around and grabs the mutant-hating Ahab by his throat, ‘Where the hell did Kang just take my daughter?’ Alex screams. ‘I didn’t know about this move, boy. But it makes sense. Kang plays the hand for you…since you lack the courage’ Ahab replies. Havok pulls away from the man once known as Rory Campbell, and turns to Thor: ‘You bull-headed idiot. What the hell have you done?’ he asks. ‘I had no idea of his plan! I assure you Alex -’ Thor begins, before Alex fires a blast of energy, destroying some of the room. He is furious. ‘You assure me. If you’re wrong - my daughter’s life is on your head’ Alex scowls.
The Beast turns to the Chronos Corps and remarks that it appears they are left with few options but to gather the Unity Squad - but the only problem is, no one has any idea where Wolverine or Sunfire are, as they never emerged after landing. Arno Stark reports that he has already scoured the city for their DNA - and announces they are here and they are alive,. But that it is not going to be easy to get them.
Above Planet X, Emin’s space craft hovers. Inside her large throne-like chamber, Sean “Banshee” Cassidy, one of the Horsemen of Death, stares at Wolverine a.k.a. Logan and Sunfire a.k.a. Shiro Yoshida, both of his former friends trapped in stasis chambers embedded in the chamber wall, and in constant agony. Banshee frowns, before a voice calls out ‘If I didn’t know better, I would think this disturbs you’. It is Eimin who strides towards Banshee, Daken, another of her Horsemen of Death, is with her. ‘Can you think of a better fate for Horsemen who betrayed the Akkaba, Banshee?’ Eimin asks. ‘Two traitors who worked against their own people in service to the humans who hunted and slaughtered them’. Eimin adds. ‘A father who drowned his own son’ Daken declares. ‘My only disappointment is that they no longer scream’ Eimin reveals. ‘Yeah, that ended years ago. I miss it. It was nice’ Daken remarks. Eimin climbs the small staircase to her throne and tells Banshee and Daken that Alex Summers’ destruction of the Tachyon Dam has left them vulnerable, so Kang will not be far behind. ‘We must prepare to deal with my “father”’ she tells them.
‘We’ll need an army’ Daken points out. Eimin reaches for the axe Jarnbjorn and reports that she has a plan in place. ‘Once the X-Men acquire Alex Summers, Daken, take him someplace quiet and kill him’ she announces. ‘Sure’ Daken replies. Holding the powerful axe firmly in her grasp, Eimin declares that they will then eliminate the X-Council. ‘Really? People won’t stand for it. They’ll revolt’ Daken replies. Eimin explains that they will frame Kang for the killings, and that the people will stand by her without question. ‘And do you know why?’ she asks. ‘Results. Results are all anyone truly cares about. They might be troubled by the end of humanity - but in the end, the mutants are happy - and happiness eases the conscience wonderfully’ Eimin declares.
Back in the secret location, Havok, the Beast, Stryfe, Ahab, Doom 2099 and Magistrate Braddock stand before a console which has some map-like diagnostics on it. ‘Okay. We’re live. Thor’s team is already in motion. Our task is to rescue Wasp, here within the Capitol Building’ Havok explains, pointing at the location on the map. He adds that the only way this works is if all surviving members of the Unity Squad are gathered - but if they fail, Earth stays dead. ‘We get in and get -’ Havok begins, when suddenly, a loud alarm sounds. ‘Stars and garters! Scratch those plans, Alex…the Wasp has come home!’ the Beast reports. ‘Janet!’ Alex gasps as the Wasp enters the lab, walks over to Alex and collapses in his arms. ‘Thank God! I thought they… I thought that crazy bastard Magneto might actually…’ Havok begins, before looking closely at Janet, who appears to be in some sort of trance, unable to answer him. ‘Janet?’ Alex calls out. Magistrate Braddock informs everyone that they have company - someone is in Janet’s mind. ‘Someone I know well’ she adds.
‘Hello, Lamb. Come for a tussle?’ Magistrate Braddock telepathically asks her younger self Psylocke, who stands with Cyclops somewhere nearby. ‘What is she doing here?’ Psylocke utters as she maintains telepathic contact.
‘What is it, Psylocke?’ Cyclops asks. ‘They’re onto us. Another telepath is with them. Another version of me - it’s an army of nasty characters’ Psylocke reports. ‘Let’s get this over with’ Cable calls out as he stands nearby and fires a weapon at the secret location, destroying a wall and exposing Havok, Beast and the others. ’doom - shield us!’ the Beast calls out, and Doom does as requested, erecting a shield around them, as Cyclops, Cable, Storm, Magneto and his X-Force team - Blob, Pyro, Toad and Lady Avalanche - appear as the flames and dust clear. ‘Once chance at a smart solution here, Alex. Come with me. Please, for once in your life, take the easy road’ Cyclops calls out.
‘There’s nothing easy about any of this, Scott’ Havok replies as he fires a blast of energy, knocking Lady Avalanche aside. ‘Everyone - get the hell back - this is not a fight!’ Havok shouts, as Ahab, Stryfe, Doom 2099 and Magistrate Braddock stand their ground. ‘No one gets hurt! Grab Janet and go - meet at the rendezvous. I’ll deal with my brother’ Havok exclaims, as Cyclops leaps towards Alex, ‘Nice company you’re keeping, Alex. Hitler wasn’t available?’ he asks. ‘I know how it looks. But I don’t have time to explain’ Havok calls back. Cyclops answers by punching Havok in the face, drawing blood. ‘No, not you. Obstinate Alex Summers would never explain himself’ Cyclops replies, before blasting Stryfe and Ahab with optic energy, knocking them over.
Storm hovers over Doom 2099 and Magistrate Braddock, ‘I cannot imagine what possessed you to throw in with these fiends, Alex!’ Storm cries as she readies some lightning bolts. ‘Doom, the Weather Witch’s mind is guarded! You have to -’ Magistrate Braddock begins, before she is struck by a blast of lightning. ‘Doom is no fiend, storm bringer - Doom is humanity’s last hope!’ Doom boasts as he fires a blast of energy, knocking Storm out of the air. Doom 2099 adds that the Chronos Corps will save their futures, by any means. ‘That personal shield thingy you’re rocking - does it got a setting to defend ya from fat?’ the Blob asks as he grabs Doom, throws him to the ground and then sits on him.
‘Have you lost your mind? Look at yourself, Alex! Whatever the hell you’ve gotten yourself into - I’m not going to let you kill us all!’ Cyclops shouts as he starts to strangle his brother. ‘I get it, Scott - but you have to let us go’ Havok calls back. ‘You have to trust me. We can save the Earth. Kang, he found a way… he has my daughter, Scott’ Alex reveals. ‘Daughter?’ Scott asks. ‘Explaining your incredibly poor judgment - your sense of reason is clouded by grief!’ Magneto exclaims as he levitates Havok into the air. ‘You would risk everything for your child, as any father would - but what of my child’s sacrifice, Alex? What of all the children born on Planet X?’ Magneto asks, as Pyro and Lady Avalanche look up at Havok. ‘Magneto? What are you doing?’ Cyclops asks. Alex is in pain, he screams, as Magneto replies ‘What should have been done years ago. Putting an end to this traitor’.
In Eimin’s ship, Eimin, Daken and Banshee watch the goings-on via a monitor, ‘How do you want the Council killing to look?’ Daken asks. ‘As if Kang murdered the ruling X-Men in cold blood, in their sleep tonight’ Eimin announces, adding that when he arrives, he will have an army of mutants to contend with. ‘Not even Kang can stand against -’ Eimin begins, when suddenly, the trio notice a loud thumping noise coming from outside the ship. ‘What was that?’ Eimin asks as she walks over to the wall, she touches it, when suddenly, she is knocked backwards, as Abomination Deathlok bursts through. ‘Think you got off on the wrong floor, green freak!’ Daken exclaims as he leaps towards Abomination Deathlok, claws outstretched - but before he strikes, he is knocked on the head by Thor’s hammer. ‘Nay. We are where we mean to be’ Thor replies, as his powerful hammer returns to his hand. Arno Stark and May Parker are with him. May Parker fires a venom web at Banshee, it sticks to him, he struggles to break free, while Arno Stark unleashes a powerful repulser ray at close range, over Daken. Eimin looks up from where she fell on the floor before, to see Thor leaping towards her, his hammer crackling with energy, as Thor shouts ‘We come to avenge the Earth!’

Untitled
Mojoworld, where the citizens of the bizarre dimension go about their entertainment-obsessed lives. In one of the top floors of a very tall, brightly lit building, a meeting is taking place. ‘First off, Mojo, we love you here. We’re all of us huge fans. Really. Heck, it was my idea to bring you back to work for us here at Mojoverse Inc. I campaigned for you - I’m your friend. I believe in you, believe you can rekindle that old Mojo magic. We want to be in the Mojo business…’ a man who appears to be one of the Spineless Ones remarks as he and four others sit at one end of a meeting room table. A woman stands nearby with some refreshments, and at the other end of the table is the grotesque Mojo, his aide next to him. ‘But…’ Mojo remarks. ‘But your latest show… you’re not putting up the numbers we were hoping for’ the Spineless One, dressed in a suit, points out.
Mojo replies that “Devil Dinosaur’s Power Pack Force Antique Roadshow” was not exactly what he originally pitched. ‘That Frankenstein was created in this room based on your team’s notes’ he adds. The official tells him not to blame them, and assures him that they are here to help him.
He continues, telling Mojo that if he wants to make art, then he should take a watercolor class, as this is a business maximizing brand loyalty. ‘A task you are currently failing at’ he points out. A skinny man clears his throat and smiles at Mojo, assuring him that they hear his concerns, and respect him, but that marketing research shows that right now, arty and indecipherable is a good way to go. A woman holds up a holographic chart and reports that it seems structured character arcs, foundation and stories with “something to say” are endeavors that take longer and cost more. She adds that marketing numbers clearly show the easiest way to gain a loyal viewership is to confound the masses, spinning an endless web of strange mysteries that keep their feeble-minded viewers lost and guessing. A third man reveals that reviewers won’t want to admit to not understanding it, even when there is nothing to understand. ‘The glowing first reviews will ensure the majority of brain-deads follow suit. And as the choir of support rises, more and more will join in -’
The first man, the humanoid Spineless One, interrupts and declares that marketing research shows that dumb people only love what they think is ridicule safe, that they follow “heat” because they secretly long for acceptance above all else.
Mojo’s hands are pressed together and he frowns: ‘You say you want Mojo, but when I pitch you Mojo, you change it and then blame Mojo. Your notes removed anything that came from my vision. It had no Mojo zest left in it -’. ‘ZEST?’ the first man shouts, knocking his cut of coffee off the table. ‘When I want zest, I have six stunning women in a gold-plated rumpus dungeon. Are you six, attractive young ladies, Mr Mojo? Is this my rumpus dungeon?’ he asks, annoyed. He informs Mojo that the good news is they have decided to give him one last chance at keeping his job. ‘So let’s hear your new pitch. You came with a pitch, yes?’
Mojo boasts that he has the pitch to end all pitches, ‘Avengers of the Supernatural!’ he shouts, as holograms appear behind him of these Avengers of the Supernatural - Dr Strange! Manphibian! Ghost Rider! Man-Thing! Blade! Satana! Mojo explains that it is time for monsters to hit a revival cycle, as they are cool, deadly, gritty, and one of them has a flaming skull-head. ‘Instant hit!’ he declares. ‘A team of slavers, the best of my crew, have already acquired and begun augmenting them in my Body Shoppe’.
The Mojoverse Inc officials seem intrigued. ‘Can you get Wolverine in there?’ one of them enquires. ‘Can you work in some actual Avengers? They’re trending very popular’ another remarks. ‘Maybe add zombies?’ someone suggests, while another asks as to whether they are relatable - ‘Maybe high school kids? Jocks, geeks and rockers…’ and another asks if Mojo can aim for a sci-fi, horror, super hero mash-up, as that is all very hot now. ‘Of course he can’ the senior member at the table declares. ‘Mojo understands that if he fails us again… I’ll release the critics on him’, adding that there are Chinese hells more pleasant.
‘Fine, okay. So taking your “notes” into account, here is how I see it…’ Mojo begins. ‘Open on the exterior of Avengers Mansion, backyard, a perfect sunny day. Rogue and Wasp are sunbathing, sharing gossip, and catching viewers up on back-story. An afternoon of bonding, endearing them to the viewers while eliciting a warm feeling from the capering…’
‘So Wanda went camping with Simon! I think she’s leading him on!’ Janet Van Dyne a.k.a. the Wasp remarks. ‘Well, that’s what Wanda does, isn’t it? She loves to play with her prey before she devours it’ Rogue replies, before asking if Simon is still in pursuit. ‘It’s definitely not platonic because of him. He is smitten. Poor boy -’ Janet begins, when suddenly Alex “Havok” Summers exclaims, ‘Death to gossips!’ as he dive-bombs into the swimming pool. A splash of water rises into the air. ‘Alex!’ Jan complains, putting her hands up to avoid any water that splashes towards her. Alex starts to climb out of the pool and tells the ladies that it seemed like they could use the bath after digging in that dirt. ‘Like men don’t gossip? How’s the temperature up there on your high horse?’ Jan asks. Smirking, she tells Alex that perhaps he is worried she will dish on his love life. As Alex reaches for his towel, Jan pushes him back in the pool. ‘You hear about him and Lorna?’ Jan asks Rogue. ‘You been holding out on me?’ Rogue replies. ‘It’ll turn the rest of your hair white, sister’ Jan smiles.
‘Cut to interior of Scarlet Witch’s sanctum. Wanda is deep in a trance, practicing her spells, chanting a complex incantation…’ Mojo continues.
Wanda Maximoff a.k.a. the Scarlet Witch hovers in a trance. Energies swirl around her as she speaks in a language unknown. Candles light the room, when suddenly, a shirtless Simon Williams a.k.a. Wonder Man enters, ‘Everyone’s having a nice soiree thing and -’ he begins. Wanda picks up a candle and turns to her dear friend. ‘Ah… sorry, did I interrupt?’ Simon asks. ‘Seven hours of casting’ Wanda replies. Simon apologizes, and adds that he figured if Wanda was doing anything important she would have locked the door. ‘I didn’t know I had to, Simon’ Wanda points out. ‘Listen to us. We argue like an old married couple. Makes you rethink us not being together, right?’ Simon asks. ‘Another reason for us not to be together’ Wanda suggests. ‘Wow… joking. Just a joke’ Simon remarks. He turns from Wanda and add that it sounded better in his head.
Mojo points out that everyone knows that the Scarlet Witch and Wonder Man should be together - Simon is the prototype of Wanda’s ex-husband, the Vision. ‘But we keep the viewer hoping. Waiting. Very “Sam and Diane”’ he adds, before stating that they cut to the interior mansion poolroom, where a sober and irritated Steve Rogers prepares to make a shot, while a very inebriated Thor and Wolverine continue a daylong drinking competition.
‘Drinking during the day now?’ Steve Rogers a.k.a. Captain America asks his teammates. Thor is sprawled out over the sofa, while Wolverine a.k.a. Logan stands behind him. Empty beer bottles are scattered about them. Shiro “Sunfire” Yoshida is readying to take his shot at the pool table and remarks that he said the same thing, but that Logan just murmured something about pool parties having different societal regulations. ‘I don’t make the rules, Shiro’ Logan slurs. ‘And I am merely attempting to acclimate to you mortals’ mores’ Thor claims.
Steve prepares to take his shot and remarks that he doesn’t know when binge drinking became publicly acceptable - even at a party - as in his day, it was frowned upon. ‘Explains prohibition’ Logan points out. ‘We knew how to restrain ourselves’ Steve replies. ‘In my day, we called that being a buzz kill’ Wolverine jokes, as he nudges Steve, causing him to miss the shot, and the pool cue rips up the table.
‘You dare sully the dignity of Captain America, troll!’ Thor booms as he strides towards Wolverine. ‘Please, hold this, young lady’ he asks Sunfire as he shoves his large glass of beer towards him. ‘Excuse me?’ Shiro replies, taking the drink. As Thor grabs Wolverine by his shirt, he asks the God of Thunder if they have to tussle every time he gets loaded. ‘Aye!’ Thor exclaims as he shoves Wolverine’s head through the ceiling above them.
Thor turns to Sunfire: ‘Thank you, bar wench, for holding my mead whilst I trounced your hirsute companion’. ‘My pleasure…’ Shiro mutters as he hands the drink back to Thor, adding that he thinks it might have gotten warm. Indeed, Shiro used his power to heat up the drink, and Thor immediately spits it out after taking a large gulp. ‘Yearch - c’mon!’ Cap exclaims as some of the drink splashes against him.
Suddenly, there is a loud rumbling. ‘What was that?’ Cap asks. ‘That smell… doth remind me of Hela’s pit’ Thor announces. ‘Brimstone’ Wolverine declares as he falls from the ceiling above.
Mojo declares that here is where it gets good: ‘Smash cut to… classic Ghost Rider, Johnny Blaze! Enraged and in pursuit of souls to punish!’
‘Your inequity draws forth vengeance, Avengers!’ Ghost Rider exclaims as he roars into the room on his flaming motorcycle. ‘Self-appointed guardians of man - suffer for your hubris!’ Ghost Rider calls out as he starts to swing his chain, wrapping it around Wolverine’s neck. Wolverine struggles to pull it free, as Thor struggles to move forward: ‘The mead must deceive my eyes…’ he begins, before Ghost Rider speeds towards him, shoving him out of the room on the wheel of the motorcycle, dragging Wolverine behind him. ‘Holy!’ Rogue gasps as she looks up. ‘Your eyes see true, false god!’ Ghost Rider tells Thor, while the Wasp mutters that just once she would like to have a party that doesn’t end in disaster. ‘Your punishment beckons’ Ghost Rider tells Thor, as he touches his forehead, the Thunder God then vanishes.
Mojo remarks that the unexpected intruder begins his work, first applying a slaver strip to Thor who vanishes in a heartbeat. ‘I’m already tired of this “vengeance” spiel, Mojo’ the official declares. ‘Yeah, we’ll fix it in post’ Mojo replies.
‘Not even a god can escape my retribution!’ Ghost Rider boasts as he swings around, ready to attack the other Avengers, while Wolverine flails about, the chain still around his neck, he cannot pull it off him. ‘Your souls will crumple under the weight of your sins! Ghost Rider exclaims.
‘Okay, um - Avengers Assemble!’ the shirtless Havok calls out as he releases a wave of plasma energy. ‘We’re sort of already assembled, Alex. Maybe you should be focused on the human missile about to -’ the Wasp begins, as Wolverine slams into Alex and Rogue, knocking them aside, as the Wasp shrinks down and flies away. ‘Well, I tried’ she mutters. ‘Fortunately we are not inebriated and can deal with this attacker!’ Sunfire declares. Cap tells him that there is no time for self-congratulations, as Ghost-Rider is an a-level threat. He starts to tell Shiro to grab Ghost Rider and get him out of the city, when suddenly a voice calls out ‘Sweeping us away - the typical mortal solution to the supernatural -’ a voice calls out.
A portal opens in the sky above, and from it Dr Strange emerges along with Man-Thing, Blade, Satana and Manphibian. ‘The Avengers of the Supernatural will be hidden no more!’ Dr Strange calls out. The Avengers of the Supernatural drop to the ground, ‘You have bitten off more than you can chew, monster!’ Sunfire tells Satana who leaps towards him and explains that she is a succubus, so she doesn’t bite - she takes. ‘Stealing your soul one piece at a time!’ she declares, while Sunfire cries out in pain as she touches him and his soul is torn from his body. ‘I’m the one who bites!’ Blade exclaims, revealing his vampiric teeth as he drops down beside Captain America, who slams his shield into Blade: ‘Bite this!’ Cap exclaims, before tossing his shield skyward and asking ‘What the hell is this, Strange?’ while his shield slams into the Manphibian, Dr Strange replies that they have suffered in the darkness long enough. ‘You devote yourselves to the salvation of men while innocent monsters are hunted and slaughtered!’ Strange casts a spell, as Cap finds himself floating, surrounded by a strange cloud. ‘Welcome to the realm of mortal’s insanity! It is your own mind you battle here, Captain. The weight of your own convictions!’ Dr Strange explains, adding that he will find punching does little against nightmares. ‘Mother…it’s cold, mother’ Cap utters.
‘You’ve fought Ghost Rider in the past - how did you stop him?’ the Wasp asks Wolverine as she flies over to him. Now free from the chain, Wolverine’s claws are popped and he lashes out at his foe. ‘Didn’t’ Wolverine tells the Wasp.
‘Orders, boss?’ Rogue asks Alex as she helps him up. ‘Don’t let Ghost Rider hit you with Wolverine’ Alex replies. ‘Sure, sound advice a minute ago - any ideas moving forward?’ Rogue remarks, her bare skin touching Alex’s, so that when Blade rushes up behind them, Rogue spins around, ‘How about we cosmic blast the half-vampire, beau?’ Rogue declares as she unleashes the power she absorbed from Alex, although Blade turns into a bat, ‘Only if you can hit him’ he calls back as he dodges the energy.
Mojo reports that one by one the monsters promptly take down the unprepared heroes, all the while making broad proclamations of melodramatic recrimination and monster rage. He adds that they will sell that these supernatural misunderstood have a cause - they fight for something bigger than themselves.
‘NO!’ Rogue shouts as she and Havok are both touched by Blade in his bat form, and they vanish. ‘Falling apart fast, Wasp! Go - gather up reinforcements before -’ Wolverine begins as he strikes Ghost Rider once more - but before the Wasp can fly away, Man-Thing grabs her with some tentacles. He does the same to Wolverine, placing slaver strips on both of their foreheads, they vanish. Stuck in a pool of mystic bonds, Captain America tells Strange that he has always helped anyone in need. ‘You know that, Strange’ Cap calls out. ‘When have you ever stood for those born from darkness? The gravity if your misdeeds crushing in on you! Magic does not lie, Captain’ Dr Strange declares. ‘But it does cloud the mind - which it has clearly done to you’ the Scarlet Witch calls out as she and Wonder Man arrive on scene.
Wanda wraps Strange in mystical bonds and tells him that hi speech is stilted and unnatural, as if poorly scripted by some unseen force. ‘I am - I am here to defend the honor of the monsters, the outcasts - to help them find their place -’ Strange begins as he struggles to free himself from Wanda’s energies. ‘How does attacking us earn you that?’ Wanda enquires. Suddenly - ‘Wha -?’ Wonder Man utters as Satana appears over him and places a slaver band on his head. ‘Careful, Witch - if you pull too hard - the plot threads unravel’ Satana declares as she places a slaver band on Wanda, who the vanishes.
The Avengers of the Supernatural all gather around Captain America, ‘Easy with the pretty one. Boss wants him pristine for the premiere’ Satana announces. ‘This will leave no mark’ Strange reports as he casts a spell, creating a slaver band around Cap’s head. ‘Welcome to the show, Steve Rogers’ someone remarks, as the living legend then vanishes.
Mojo declares that the inciting incident ends with the heroes rounded up by the monsters - and now the show really starts. ‘Fade to black, opening credits start to roll!’
Mojo / Plan M Productions presents: Martian Transylvania Super Hero Mutant Monster Hunter High School! Starring: Captain America, Dr Strange, Rogue, Havok, Sunfire, Man-Thing, Ghost Rider, Manphibian, Scarlet Witch, Wonder Man, Blade, Wolverine, Wasp, Thor and featuring Satana as “The Succubus”. There is canned applause, and then, a gothic / futuristic hybrid facility  is seen, under the glow of two moons in the sky above.
‘So, c’mon, Janet. What’s up with you? You’re being totally lame’ Thor remarks as he, Steve, Janet and Wanda walk across the campus. Janet and Wanda are wearing cheerleader outfits with large a large “A” on them, and Steve and Thor wear football jerseys. ‘Ugh. Everything is, like, fine, Thor’ Janet replies. ‘Whatever’ Thor remarks, explaining that after Wanda broke up with Steve, he guesses he is a little punchy. ‘That was, like, totally mutual, Thor’ Wanda declares. Steve tells everybody that is not how he remembers it, adding that he got the impression Wanda was, like, seeing someone else, right around the time they hazed those monster nerds.
Someone approaches Janet with a bunch of roses, but she puts her hand up, declining them, while Thor tells Janet that something is up, as he totally noticed she is not looking at him on the field anymore. ‘And you’re literally the only girl not looking’ he adds.
‘Are you, like, not into me anymore or - hey! Are you looking at that turd-freak, Summers? Is that it?’ Thor snaps at Janet, who is looking over to where leather-clad Alex, Rogue, Logan and Shiro are leaning against a wall. ‘The hell, bro? The hell are you looking at my girl for?’ Thor asks Alex. ‘She’s pretty. Caught my eye’ Alex replies calmly. Thor warns Alex to stay away from her if he knows what is good for him. ‘Or what? Can’t punch away that the girl’s attracted to me’ Alex remarks. ’No, Thor’s the type who tries to impress the ladies with how indie he is’ Shiro points out. ‘Plays against type’ Logan remarks. ‘Yeah, I see it. Okay, let me guess, you showed her how thoughtful you were by making out to a Decemberists album? Grizzly Bear? Iron and Wine?’ Alex suggests, before asking if he is getting close. ‘The Decemberists’ Janet confirms. Thor is annoyed with her, before he turns to Alex and asks him what he knows: ‘You’re wearing a tank top’ he points out. ‘So desperate to stand out from the crowd you bought a tank top!’
Cut to Mojoworld, where Mojo stands with the enslaved Wonder Man. ‘Audience identification is high. Your scripts are a hit, Simon’ Mojo tells him. Holding the scripts, Wonder Man points out that most people have encountered a rude alpha male sports player or an elitist outsider type - low hanging fruit. ‘We might just pull this potluck off!’ Mojo declares. The slaver band around his forehead glows, as Wonder Man explains ‘It’s all about the relationships and heart. Most writers overlook that so often -’ but Mojo interrupts, telling him not to go overboard. ‘You wrote a love triangle, not exactly -’ he begins, before a voice calls out ‘Mojo?’ and the grotesque creature turns to a floating monitor bubble, which has the image of the senior executive ‘How happy are you right now? Happy, right?’ Mojo asks ‘We need to be 24% happier. The room wants Ghost Rider turned evil’ the official announces, adding that they want to have Wanda forced to kill him, the man she loves. Mojo points out that they haven’t even established they are an item yet. ‘Lot of young directors down here who would be happy to take your job if -’ the official begins. ‘Fine, fine… I’ll make it work’. Mojo mutters, asking the official to bear with him, as the third ac is a bit tricky.
The exterior is the Sanctum Sanctorum on a rainy night, where a troubled Wanda seeks advice about her freaky new love interest…from the antiquated stereotype geek brigade. Wanda strides into a library, where Dr Strange, Manphibian, Blade and Satana are seated. Man-Thing is slumped over in a corner. ‘Hey! Look who’s graced our sanatorium with a visit!’ Dr Strange jokes. ‘Please don’t call the library that, Stephen’ Manphibian asks. ‘C’mon, Glavin this is an open game’ Blade declares. Telling Wanda that they are not exclusionary, he suggests they roll her up a character. ‘I’d recommend someone with super-confusing powers and motivations’ Satana calls out. ’Roll the twenty-sided die for your dexterity!’ Blade tells Wanda, offering her the die. ‘How many do I roll to get a social life?’ Wanda asks. ‘Uncool, Wanda. And a bit dated. Geek is chic’ Blade remarks. Wanda tells Blade that she is sorry, and announces that she is not here to play, but she has to ask Stephen a question: ‘The biker, Johnny Blaze… do you know anything about him?’ she enquires.
‘Blaze? My heavens, Wanda! He’s possessed by a demon!’ Stephen declares. ‘Holy Glavin! Stay clear of that one, Red’ Blade remarks, while Manphibian announces that he is a bad stock tattoo come to life. Stephen warns Wanda not to fall in love with Blaze, as he is a living curse. ‘His story is already written. Do not be its victim’ he urges her. ‘But…I…I love him’ Wanda reveals, hanging her head. Despondent and confused, the young woman in love flees into the rain-soaked night, her heart breaking in her chest. But as she continues on into the night, Johnny Blaze appears before her on his motorcycle. ‘They tell you the truth about me, babe?’ he asks her. ‘It’s true, you know. We come from two different worlds. I’m a loner, Wanda. A rebel with a demon in his soul’ Johnny tells her, admitting that not even a demon can hide the feelings he has for her.
Johnny smiles as Wanda throws her arms around him, ‘Oh, Johnny! It’s been so hard! The pretending. The hiding! But… it’s more than all that. I’m… I’m pregnant!’ Wanda reveals. Johnny looks surprised: ‘No - it’s not possible. Do you have any idea what this means? What will happen?’ he asks her.
Mojo frowns, and realizes that Blaze is going off script. ‘Why’s this moron going off script?’ he calls out. Wonder Man replies that he has no idea, but that if it is an improvisation, it is an amazing performance. ‘No, something else is happening… he’s actually upset’ Mojo realizes.
Johnny gets off his motorcycle and energy starts to flow around him. ‘You don’t get it - if I got you pregnant - you of all people - the demon - the demon we would create - I will risk no offspring!’ he announces as he transforms into the flaming-skulled Ghost Rider. ‘Least of all with you, Witch!’ Ghost Rider declares. ‘He’s broken out of the set!’ Wonder Man calls out as the set before he and Mojo collapses. ‘You cannot imprison vengeance!’ Ghost Rider roars on his motorcycle. ‘Gha - unexpected change of direction! We went too far out of character!’ The Avengers and the Supernatural Avengers appear back as their regular selves. ‘What is this place? How -’ Dr Strange begins. ‘Where…?’ Cap asks, examining his surroundings. ‘The stench of this place! I will deliver vengeance to this slovenly den!’ Ghost Rider boasts as he speeds round on his motorcycle.
‘Cut! Cut!’ Mojo calls out. ‘Wanda?’ Simon asks, pulling the slaver band off his head. ‘Mojo! You grotesque fool! Do you know what you’ve done?’ the Scarlet Witch asks as she approaches Mojo. ‘By tampering with his mind, you have shut down Johnny’s Blaze’s influence! You’ve made the Spirit of Vengeance think it created an offspring! Driven it mad and released it upon your world!’ Wanda explains, creating a spell she casts it towards Mojo, who remarks that reality television can still pull big ratings. Blade warns Mojo that he will have no reality left to film, for without a human conscience to temper and direct it, Ghost Rider will seek vengeance on all life. Satana explains that all life is a sin through the eyes of the Spirit of Vengeance, and the human host alone offers temperance. ‘Johnny Blaze’s influence is gone - Heaven help you all’ Manphibian declares.
Wolverine leans over Mojo and tells him that if he didn’t catch any of that, they are saying what he has done is real bad. ‘Oh, shut up. This is just the insurmountable wall we needed at the end of the second act!’ Mojo declares. Dr Strange informs Mojo that he can deal with act three on his own, as they are leaving - this is no concern of theirs. He opens a portal and everyone moves towards it, ‘No-no-no. You’re the heroes! You have to help!’ Mojo calls out. ‘Buncha spineless squibs. No big loss by my estimation’ Wolverine remarks, and the Wasp agrees. ‘Tourists! Mojowold is the number one vacation destination in the universe! Then there are the slaves…so many innocent slaves. You won’t leave innocents to suffer for my sins, will you?’ Mojo calls out, appealing to Captain America and Havok who look down at him.
At that moment, Ghost Rider bursts out of the side of the Mojo Film Studios building, and roars off into Mojoworld proper. ‘Centuries of gluttony saturate the air’ he thinks to himself. Mojo narrates that, unleashed and unchained, the Ghost Rider is free to wreak havoc on this world governed by convenience and indulgence. Without the heroes’ selfless aid, an entire world will pay for the evil director’s desperate bid for ratings and external validation. Focused solely on vengeance, the demon rides up, up to the artificial moon over the world of fat entertainment addicts. His powers of indignation building inside him. ‘This city - a monument to their greed’ Ghost Rider tells himself, deciding that these creatures born of sloth and pride and lust - the world is a temple built to their sin. ‘There will be vengeance’ he declares as he looks down over Mojoworld. ‘It is time the worshippers of self paid! This fetid pit will feel the stare of penance!’ he exclaims.
Cut to an advert for Lowrider magazine, a special collectors issue featuring the All New Ghost Rider, on sale at newsstands everywhere, or, to purchase a copy of this collectors issue go to marvel.lowridermagonline.com.
Countless souls are bent backwards, a parade of consumers reliving their every misdeed - their every evil thought - all at once. ‘Oh, God, the pool boy…forgive me!’ one citizen of Mojoworld calls out. ‘Ate my depression away -’ another admits, while a third exclaims ‘-cheated on her with her sister!’ and another reveals to lying to them and manipulating them. ‘Had someone else raise my kids while I was self-obsessed’ another remarks. ‘Killed Mom3 for the inheritance -’ someone states. ’Suffer for your sins!’ Ghost Rider bellows, releasing his energy.
Suddenly: ‘What do we do?’ Captain America asks as he, the Avengers Unity Squad and the supernatural beings return. ‘Supernatural problems require supernatural solutions, Captain’ Dr Strange explains, revealing that he can protect them from Ghost Rider’s penance stare, but not for long. Suddenly, the Scarlet Witch alerts Strange to the fact that Man-Thing is now ablaze. Strange explains that the Man-Thing is an empath and he absorbs fear into himself. ‘Even I cannot protect him from this tsunami of agony!’ Strange admits, before turning to Satana and tells her that she is their only hope, that they must separate the Spirit of Vengeance from Johnny Blaze, resetting the curse. Strange points out that Satana is a succubus of the pit, so she can pry on the Spirit of Vengeance from its host and temper it. Satana asks Strange if he is sure Blaze will take the spirit back. ‘Because I’m fairly certain I don’t want to be the next Ghost Rider…’ Satana replies.
‘Let’s hope so’ Strange declares as he looks up and sees Ghost Rider speeding towards them. Mojo announces that they enter the spectacular climax, as the heroes have a plan, but, naturally, it must fail, only to be replaced by another at the last second. He states that here the unwitting heroes enable their listless and ham-fisted writers to sprinkle about bits of meta commentary on the entertainment industry, disguising this as something more than it is, while giving them the mindless battle they need to make a solid trailer. The heroes power up and leap towards Ghost Rider. ‘Heard you listing the deadliest sins, Rider. But you forgot one, a personal favorite of mine. Goes by the name of wrath’ Wolverine calls out. ‘Please do not encourage it to further ranting’ the Scarlet Witch remarks. ‘Right? Man, that spiel gets old fast’ the Wasp mutters.
The heroes move in for the attack, with Wolverine lashing out at Ghost Rider with his claws. Sunfire blasts him with flame, while the Wasp uses his wasp’s sting, and Havok releases his energy blast Thor’s hammer is thrown towards the Ghost Rider, who declares ‘your bravado does not hide your fear, little heroes!’
One of the executives tells the chief executive that if Mojoworld is actually destroyed, they will lose their entire demographic. ‘These insects were never our target audience. We are syndicated across the entire Multiverse!’ the chief executive responds. He adds that, as far as the damage goes, they are well-insured, as the contract itself was drafted by an endless legion of lawyers. ‘And luckily…it pays out triple on literal acts of gods’.
Thor grabs his hammer and flies towards Ghost Rider, ‘You will be stopped from this wanton destruction, vile evil!’ he booms. ‘A quiver of uncertainty in the Thunder God’s voice?’ Ghost Rider asks. ‘Nay, merely still drunk from breakfast’ Thor replies as he collides with Ghost Rider, resulting in an explosion. Thor starts to emerge from the flames and smoke. ‘I do not hear the chattering of your skull any longer, Spirit of Vengeance! Humbled at the power of a true god of -’ Thor begins, when suddenly, Thor sees that Ghost Rider has tripled in size, and looms over him. ’By Odin’s blood!’ Thor gasps. ‘It is your blood I desire, godling. The might of a god pales before the truth strength of the demon…’ Ghost Rider declares.
Thor doesn’t hesitate - he springs forward and strikes Ghost Rider’s skull with his hammer, telling him that his increased size does not give him an edge. ‘I have destroyed giants far mightier than you while twice as inebriated!’ Thor boasts. ‘You brag of the monsters you have killed. Pride in the blood on your hands!’ He then breathes fire over Thor, knocking the Asgardian backwards. ‘Such hubris only serves to fuel the flames of retribution!’ Ghost Rider exclaims, while Strange hovers over him, he calls out to Satana: ‘Now, Satana! While Thor has him distracted!’ Sunfire drops Satana down towards their foe, ‘I hope you’re right, Doc’ Satana mutters, before uttering ‘Father, give me strength’.
But, as Satana makes contact with Ghost Rider, she screams, and Ghost Rider declares ‘Blood of devils burns brightest. For it holds all the sins of mankind, succubus!’ Dr Strange, Rogue and the Scarlet Witch go wide-eyed, ‘No…’ Strange utters, while Wanda points out that Satana is not moving. Ghost Rider looms over Satana and Thor who lie before him, ‘You are the least guilty on this world - I will not have my time wasted. I will burn this putrid abyss down to Hell!’ Ghost Rider exclaims. Sunfire flies overhead, and as large vines start to rise up and wrap around Ghost Rider, Sunfire asks him ‘Do you know fear? And if so - can you burn?’ Man-Thing has completely entangled himself around Ghost Rider now, and the Spirit of Vengeance screams. ‘Man-Thing is consuming the Rider. Looking for the source of its anguish!’ Dr Strange explains. ‘Can it actually do that?’ Sunfire enquires.
‘Not for long’ Strange announces, and, as if on cue, the Spirit of Vengeance tears through Man-Thing. He is back to his regular size, and turns his attention to the Scarlet Witch. ‘Direct your rage at me, demon! It was my lie that broke you free, that left Johnny Blaze shattered and lost within you thirst for vengeance’ she points out. ‘And you will, pay, witch!’ Ghost Rider declares as he leaps towards Wanda. ‘Not likely…your single-minded obsession is simple to exploit’ Wanda replies, before calling out to Rogue: ‘Now!’ she shouts. Rogue has removed one of her gloves, and reaches out to Ghost Rider, telling him that he will do better to quit spewing vengeful phrases and just pay back. As she puts her hands on his flaming skull, and he screams, while Rogue tells him to just let go. ‘Let go and…let me…take - VENGEANCE!’ Rogue roars as she absorbs the Spirit of Vengeance from Ghost Rider.
Rogue’s face has been replaced by the flaming skull, and Johnny Blaze, in his human form, stares up at her. ‘Take it back! Call it back to you - oh, God, I can’t - purge the corrupt - please take it-’ Rogue pleads as the Spirit of Vengeance tries to take control. ‘Or I could be free of this eternal sacrifice’ Johnny replies. Rogue tells him that it burns, and that it taking her, creeping into her mind. ‘Please!’ she exclaims. Johnny hangs his head, before admitting that the curse is his. He reaches out to Rogue and takes her hand, transferring the Spirit back into his body. ‘Thank you…’ Rogue utters as she kneels before him with the others gathered around.
‘Wait, so - is that it? Is it over?’ the executive asks, telling the chief executive that he doesn’t understand any of this. ‘A bunch of heroes fought each other, then teamed up to fight a greater threat, and then they defeated the threat and…it just ends?’ He points out that audiences want a story that has consequences - the old world changed in a new, exciting and lasting way. ‘This soul Mojo cooked up, it feels totally unimportant. Was there any point at all? Is it a story about how a committee can overly complicate things?’ the executive asks. The chief executive looks at the monitors and replies ‘No, it left that thread behind in the first act. It’s merely sloppy and derivative’. He adds that, in the end, what Mojo gave them is nothing more than a colourful distraction, and although that sounds like a classic excuse for directionless writing by a pious blowhard, it, conversely, follows a tight, structured foundation and can feel formulaic, so at least Mojo’s new sow doesn’t feel unoriginal, not on the surface, perhaps.
Thanks to a teleportation spell courtesy of Dr Strange, the Avengers Unity Squad and the supernatural heroes return to Avengers Mansion, by the pool. ‘Well, that was…something’ Havok remarks, while Johnny Blaze announces that the curse of the Rider weighs on him again - the dark road he must blaze is once again his alone to endure. ‘The sad nights of -’ he begins ,before the Wasp exclaims ‘Enough with the brooding, young mardy ass!’ and shoves him into the pool. The Avengers all look at each other, before they leap into the swimming pool after Blaze, who pulls himself up to the edge of the pool and rests his head in one of his hands.
The Mojocorp Inc official suggests that perhaps they shouldn’t look too closely, for good or bad, poignant or meandering, one way or another, it is done now, to which the executive replies: ‘Yes. Well, get on the horn and call in the critics…we’ll leave it to them to decipher’.

Avenge the Earth, part three
In a secret location on Planet X Magneto is slowly start to crush Alex “Havok” Summers. ‘What are you scheming with this menagerie of filth, Havok? What is your plan?’ Magneto demands. ‘You’ll just have to wait… and see…’ Alex manages to utter. ‘No. I won’t. Because you’ll be dead’ Magneto replies.
‘Dammit, Magneto - stop! You’re killing him!’ Cyclops of the X-Council orders. Magneto points out that Havok is endangering all of reality on a fantasy that has no hope of success. ‘If you weren’t willing to end him to save our world, Cyclops - you should not have come!’
Nearby, Psylocke of the X-Council rushes to a possible future version of herself, Magistrate Braddock, who remarks ‘Lamb, you once swore on your very life to never become like me. But look at you now. A member of the ruling X-Council of soldiers’. Psylocke prepares to kick Magistrate Braddock, but she steps out of the way. ‘Keeping the “peace” X-Force style, through whatever means necessary? I told you it was the only future for either of us’ Magistrate Braddock reminds her younger counterpart.
Magistrate Braddock readies a psi-knife, and tells her younger self that she is proud to see her rise to the occasion. ‘Only, unlike you, we didn’t choose to impose our will on anyone, Magistrate Braddock!’ Psylocke points out as she flips backwards, dodging the older woman’s attack. Psylocke creates her own psi-knife, and as she drops back down, ‘We didn’t choose to rule - we were handed this fate!’ she exclaims as she shoves her psi-knife into Magistrate Braddock’s head.
At the same time, Cable approaches his doppelganger, Stryfe, ‘Don’t know what the hell you’re doing here, Stryfe - but I will kill you if you don’t stand the hell down’ Cable declares, aiming his weapon at Stryfe. ‘Just look at yourself, Cable’ Stryfe replies. ‘The once proud freedom fighter reduced to servant’. Stryfe unleashes a psychic attack as he points out that he is the one fighting to protect Earth, and Cable, his clone, the pawn of Apocalypse. Cable is knocked back by the telekinetic blast, before Stryfe kicks him in the head.
While the motionless Janet van Dyne a.k.a. the Wasp has been set down on a table nearby, the Beast leaps at one of the X-Force members the Blob, ‘You’ll have to forgive me’ he tells the Blob, adding that he is quite partial to Mrs van Dyne-Summers, so he cannot allow harm to befall her. The Beast also knocks Pyro over, before Lady Avalanche causes the ground around the Beast to rise up and wrap around him. ‘It is not for you to choose, rodent’ she declares. As the Blob lumbers over to the Wasp, Lady Avalanche exclaims that the Wasp’s death is by decree of Constable Magneto - for the good of the people.
‘How do ya call yerself a mutant, Beast? Working with this human dirt to erase our paradise?’ the Blob asks. He picks the Wasp up by her throat, and remarks that back on Earth, the Beast always was more Avenger than X-Man, always wanting to jump teams. ‘But now you get ta see what happens to traitors on Planet X… now you get ta watch the Wasp die!’
Magneto once again demands to know what Kang’s plot is, and how they can stop him. ‘First step… kiss my ass -’ Havok begins, as Magneto continues to put pressure on Havok’s body so much that blood bursts from his mouth and nose. Alex screams in pain, as Magneto tells him that he prolongs the inevitable. ‘You will talk before you die, Alex Summers. I assure you -’ Magneto boast, before suddenly Cyclops fires an optic blast at Magneto, knocking him into the wall, and freeing Alex from his hold. Cyclops goes over and pulls his younger brother up off the ground, telling him that he hopes to God he has this one right. ‘Thank you’ Alex utters. Cyclops tells him to thank him when they fix this mess. ‘Kang can do the thing that every single person has told me couldn’t be done? He can save Earth?’ Cyclops asks. ‘Yes. I believe so… he’s got no reason to lie, Scott’ Alex points out.
Havok continues, explaining to Cyclops that nothing here will survive - these last few years on Planet X - will all be erased. Cyclops tells Havok that Cable and the X-Council think that Havok will crack the Time Stream right down the middle and erase everything. ‘Kang’s got my daughter, Scott, so I might be compromised. But I know this - nobody wants to save the Earth more than him. It’s his prized gem - the thing he wants above all else. Alex adds that he thinks they can do it - and he is willing to live his life trying - but not without Cyclops’s blessing. The brothers hug, as Scott tells Alex that he has missed him. ‘It’s mutual, Scotty’ Alex replies. ‘Come on… we’ll do this together’ Cyclops announces. ‘Set this right’ he adds.
Meanwhile, above Planet X, inside Eimin’s throne room, Thor smashes Eimin across the room with a crack of his mighty hammer. ‘For Midgard!’ Thor declares. He grabs the axe jarnbjorn and flies towards Eimin, ‘I have spent years dreaming of this moment, Eimin - it is sweeter than I imagined’ Thor exclaims as he slams his hammer into Eimin’s face. Nearby, May “Venom” Parker leaps towards Daken: ‘Hey, looky here. Blueberry Wolverine is back for more!’ she calls out. ‘tHe name’s Daken, little girl - in case anyone asks who killed you’ Daken replies as he reaches out with his claws to slash Venom. But she easily glides over him, ‘Oh, sweetheart - you’re positively delusional - how about a little electroshock therapy on the house?’ May Parker replies, as she blasts Daken with her Venom blasts, striking him in the back, he cries out in pain.
Thor holds Eimin up by her throat, ‘You used Jarnbjorn to doom my people - to doom my world! It is fitting you should die by its blade’ Thor tells her as he prepares to bring the axe to her - until a voice calls out ‘There’s no time to indulge in revenge, brute’ and a purple-gloved hand grabs Thor’s wrist. Thor turns to see Kang, telling him that he should not have deviated from the plan. ‘Father!’ Eimin gasps. Thor pulls away from Kang, ‘Unhand me, Kang - I will do as I see fit!’ he exclaims, reminding him that he doesn’t take orders from he. ‘Yes. You. Do’ Kang grins, before telling Thor to quit wasting his time. They turn to the cages built into the wall, where Wolverine a.k.a. Logan and Shiro Sunfire” Yoshida have been kept captive. ‘Do not forget - this is your mess I’m cleaning up, Thunder God. Now go. Collect the mutants… I’ll deal with my daughter’
‘Father, you must understand! You left us no other choice -’ Eimin begins, but Kang grabs her by her wrist and replies ‘No, I didn’t. Though I had hoped you would provide a more substantial challenge to my throne, Eimin.’ Confused, Eimin replies ‘Substantial? We destroyed your kingdom!’ But Kang tells her ‘Temporarily. But now you will see yours erase for eternity’ he adds, while May Parker stands over Daken. ‘Foolish girl. Did you truly believe I was unaware of what you were up to?’ Kang smiles. ‘Do you think so little of me, my daughter?’
Eimin drops to her knees, as Kang continues: ‘After all the trouble I went to raise you and your brother, Uriel. The idiot you marched to his death for your own goals. Did you think that I hadn’t foreseen your treachery?’ Kang asks, telling Eimin that in revelling against him, she played her role in this divine comedy perfectly. Kang releases Eimin and declares that she has served the only purpose she was ever any good for. ‘You have served Kang’.
Suddenly: ‘You’re not the end of me, friend’ Daken declares as he rips through the Venom web and lunges towards Kang, ‘No - I am’ Wolverine suddenly announces, as he slices his claws along Daken’s body. Daken cries out in pain, as a very naked Wolverine, his body disfigured from years of torture, continues to slash away at his son. ‘You’re a rotten monster. Did the right thing killing you. Right thing putting you down. But I ain’t doing it again… I ain’t gonna face the nightmares’ Wolverine declares has he holds the bloodied mess his son has become up by his neck.
Nearby, Sean “Banshee” Cassidy screams as Sunfire unleashes his atomic flame over his former friend. ‘How many years have they tortured us, Banshee? How many years have you sat back and done nothing?’ he asks. Sunfire tells Banshee that he loved him like a brother. ‘This is how you repay me?’
Arno Stark and Abomination Deathlok stand nearby, as Banshee tells Shiro that he has a devil inside him. ‘You were a Horseman once - you know. I… I can’t control it… I just - I wasn’t strong enough’ Banshee calls out. Wolverine goes over to Sunfire and tells him that Banshee is right. ‘We both know it, Shiro - both been there. Leave him be’ Wolverine suggest. Sunfire stops pouring the flame onto Banshee, and joins Wolverine, Thor, Abomination Deathlok, Arno Stark and May Parker as they follow Kang. ‘Don’t you fret, Sunfire. They won’t have to live with it much longer’ They leave Banshee smoldering in flames, Daken laying motionless on the ground, and Eimin frozen in her kneeling position.
‘I can see the headlines now - handsome man crushes irritating lady, saves world!’ the Blob declares as he raises the Wasp overhead, but drops her when Doom 2099 fires a blast at him, ‘A compelling title. I’ll take note for my propagandists’ Doom remarks. ‘Plagiarism? I expected better from you, Doom’ Stryfe mocks, when suddenly Magneto uses his control over metal to lift Stryfe up. ‘Clearly I cannot make you see reason, to understand the destruction your recklessness will bring about’ Magneto tells him. ‘Fortunately, I do not have to’ he adds, as he crushes Stryfe inside his own armor.
He then levitates the Beast, Wasp, Ahab and Doom. ‘I will not allow you to risk our lives, our future, on your short sighted gamble’ he tells them. ‘We’re not asking your permission, Erik’ a voice calls out. It is Cyclops, who adds that saving Earth is worth any risk, as he and Havok blast Magneto in unison. ‘You can’t be this stupid’ Magneto exclaims as he lands on the ground. ‘Stupid was ever listening to you. X-Men - take them down!’ Cyclops orders as Havok, Storm, Cable and Psylocke stand ready.
‘Bring it, ya dumb X-squibs!’ the Blob shouts as he, Lady Avalanche and Pyro gather near Magneto. ‘Rethink this, Scott! Your sentimentality will cost us everything!’ he exclaims. ‘Go, Alex. We’ll take care of X-Force’ Cyclops tells Havok. ‘Scott -’ Alex begins, but as he blasts the Blob, Scott tells Alex that there is no goodbyes. ‘Just don’t get this wrong’ he tells him. The Beast picks up the Wasp, while Ahab and Doom 2099 follow. ‘A large decision you just made for us, Pops’ Cable tells Cyclops. ‘If you don’t agree, you can go stop them, Nathan. I won’t get in your way’ Cyclops tells Cable. ‘We’re not going anywhere’ Storm announces. ‘I’ll kill you all if you make me’ Magneto warns the X-Council. ‘You just might, Erik… but Alex will be long gone by then’ Cyclops replies.
Atop the X-Council headquarters, Wolverine and Sunfire stand away from Kang, Thor, Arno Stark, Abomination Deathlok and May Parker. Wolverine has found some underwear to put on, as Kang asks ‘Can you at least grunt in accordance with the plan, Wolverine?’ Logan replies that he understands the plan. ‘So long as you understand we arrive before Rogue was killed’ Logan adds, warning Kang that if he doesn’t hit the right time, that if Rogue is dead when they get back, he will sabotage the entire thing, and make sure Kang doesn’t have an Earth to conquer. ‘I’ll sink the entire dammed ship’ Logan adds. ‘Fine, crazy. Yes, not too much on the line, just all of mankind’ Kang mutters, before asking ‘Why is this moron so difficult to herd?’ Thor points at Kang and reminds him that Wolverine has endured half a decade of constant torture and suggests he shows a modicum of empathy for another being.
‘Look who you’re talking to, Thor’ a voice calls out. ‘The kind of person who self-applies “conqueror”!’ the Wasp declares as she goes over and punches Kang in the face, before shoving her knee into his stomach. ‘We should stop her’ Doom remarks to Havok, as Ahab and Magistrate Braddock stand with them. ‘I wouldn’t’ Havok replies. Kang drops to his knees, bleeding, as the Wasp stands over him. Ready to fire her wasp’s sting at him, she orders him to return her daughter right now, or she will melt off his stupid blue face. ‘If I gave you Katie back, she would die here, erased with the rest of it’ Kang explains, assuring Janet that he is doing her a service, as Katie is safe in the slipstream. He adds that once his Earth is restored to its proper place, she will have her daughter again. ‘You simply have to trust me’ Kang remarks.
‘What is this madness? To risk everything that is left on this madman’s word? To willingly die at his hand - are we fools? This is Kang!’ Sunfire shouts, flames burning around him. ‘NO! I will not be a part of this! I won’t let you do it! I won’t -’ Sunfire shouts as his flames grow more fierce, until Wolverine knocks him in the back of the head, rendering Shiro unconscious.
Wolverine assures Kang that when they are in the past, Shiro will fall in line, that he will understand once they are on the other side. Thor stands with Havok, Wolverine and Sunfire and the Wasp, and tells them that they are presented with a final opportunity to earn Earth’s salvation - but only if they learn from past failures.
Thor explains that he set this in motion the day he enchanted Jarnbjorn, but that Earth fell because the mutants were not there to aid them in their darkest hour. ‘Because we were divided. Because we would not behave as heroes. It was our lack of unity that brought about this great disaster - it will be our combined might that sets it right’.
The Wasp turns to Alex and asks him what his heart says. ‘Will we see each other again? Will we see our daughter again?’ she asks him. Alex tells Janet that he can’t say. ‘But no matter what comes, I know one thing… we’ll face it together’ he assures her.
‘Do it’ Kang tells Magistrate Braddock, while Alex and the Wasp kiss. Magistrate Braddock telepathically extracts the consciousnesses of the five Unity Squad members from their bodies, and Doom wraps their consciousnesses in energy. Arno Stark helps to fuel Kang with another form of energy, which he expels into the air above them, enveloping the five consciousnesses.
The bodies of Wolverine, Havok, Thor, Sunfire and the Wasp fall to the ground, as Kang announces that it is done. ‘Dear God…’ Arno Stark utters. ‘What does it mean?’ May Parker asks. ‘Did we just save the Earth?’ Arno wonders. ‘Or shatter reality?’ May enquire, as they look around, and see Planet X start to crumble around them.

Avenge the Earth, part four
The past - a.k.a. now:
The Apocalypse Ark, where in the room shared by Simon Williams a.k.a. Wonder Man and Wanda Maximoff a.k.a. the Scarlet Witch, the two long-time Avengers teammates and lovers lie embraced in each other’s arms. Wanda recalls that for her entire life she has been hunted - chased b one madman or another, a weapon to be used to shape the world to their vision. She realizes that it has defined her life, going back to her father, Magneto - they all think she is weak-minded, that she can be easily manipulated. Wanda knows that the Apocalypse twins are no different - another set of megalomaniacal egotists. They told her that the only way to save the mutants from the Red Onslaught is to rapture all of mutantkind into this ark. ‘These twins think me controlled, as did the others before them. And as the others before them - they will feel my rage’.
‘I just hope to get to be around to see the look on their faces. It’s not much to ask’ Simon utters to Wanda, who tells him that if they succeed, he will. ‘But if things go wrong… if some innocent mutant I rapture gets hurt… the mutants will hate me more than they already do’ Wanda points out. Simon adds that only the willing will fight, and that with an army of X-Men facing the heirs of Apocalypse, there is going to be plenty of willing. Simon and Wanda kiss, before Simon tells Wanda that it is dangerous, but the only way.
‘This will work. It’s a good plan, Wanda’ Simon adds, when suddenly, a voice calls out ‘No, it seemed like a good plan… only it turns to crap. Eimin knows what you’re up to’ Wolverine a.k.a. Logan explains as he enters the bedroom. With him are Rogue and Shiro “Sunfire” Yoshida. ‘What are you -’ Wonder Man begins as he and Wanda get out of bed.
Wolverine informs Wanda and Simon that the twins have been playing them all - made it look like Wanda is working with them, set this up to turn them against each other so that an X-Man would think killing Wanda was the only option. ‘What X-Man would fall for such obvious manipulations?’ Wonder Man enquires. ‘That’d be me. I thought Wanda’d been taken over again… thought she was being used to wipe out the mutants. Almost let my anger win’ Rogue announces.
Rogue looks Wanda in the eye and admits that she was so mad at her, blamed her for M-Day and Xavier’s death. ‘I almost did something awful. Logan and Shiro went through hell because of what I was gonna do, but they came back to change it. To see that we stop the mistrust - to see that we unite. It’s the only way to stop ‘em, Sugah’ Rogue tells Wanda, putting her arms around her. A somewhat perplexed Wanda asks ‘You were coming to… kill me?’ ‘All in the past. C’mon, now, hug it out, sister’ Rogue replies.
Meanwhile, as the Apocalypse Ark hovers over Earth, so does the deadly Celestial known as Exitar, the Executioner. And at Avengers Tower, several Avengers and other heroes have gathered. Iron Man tells them that normally he would play the jester a bit to relieve tensions, but that any attempt at humor, even with a wit as dry and charming as his, will be transparent coddling given what they now face. He tells the assembled heroes, including Carol Danvers, the Sub-Mariner, Captain Britain and Dr Strange that as they all know, the only reason for the Celestial executioner to take this disapproving stance - ‘He mans to destroy our world, you windbag’ Dr Doom calls out as he and the Vision busy themselves at some consoles. ‘Yes, well, as you can see, our best and brightest - and you, Doom - are working on a way to create a barrier to protect Earth from the Celestial’ Iron Man remarks.
Iron Man motions to Dr Strange and announces that he is going to lead the rest of them up to the Celestial, where they will try and crack its hull, teleport it away or, maybe, reason with it. ‘Probably not in that order’ Dr Strange points out. ‘And probably we’ll all die trying’ Captain Britain adds.
‘Hate to rain on the sunshine, gents - but Captain Britain’s charming pessimism powers prove positive’ the Scarlet Witch announces as she, Captain America a.k.a. Steve Rogers, Wonder Man and Rogue drop down onto Avengers Tower. ‘She’s right, Tony. Your plan’s not going to work. You go up there and you’ll all die’ Captain America declares, while Rogue reports that there is only one way to save Earth from this monster. ‘We have to unite. All of us’ Captain America announces.
‘Oh, well, how nice of you to join us at this late hour and uproot our plans, Steve’ Iron Man mutters, adding that a heated debate between the two of them is just what the troops need to bolster morale. ‘No debate. We can stop this thing, but only if everyone does exactly as I say’ Cap declares. ‘Yes, well, that is how these things normally go’ Spider Man points out. ‘Anything, Cap. What’s the call?’ Hyperion asks. Rogue announces that it is simple - everyone just has to give their powers over to her. Simon turns to Wanda and asks her if she trusts them enough to give over everything. ‘According to Wolverine, if we don’t, we kill each other and the Earth dies’ Wanda responds. ‘Yeah, that Wolverine seems pretty trustworthy… you know, for a murderous razor claw guy’ Simon replies, before he and Wanda kiss. ‘One for the road’ Simon tells her. ‘I love you’ Wanda replies as Simon walks away from her. ‘Been trying to tell you that for years’ Simon shoots back, before announcing that they should put this “unity” thing to the test.
Simon and Rogue hold hands. ‘I trust you, Anna Marie. Take all I’ve got’ Simon tells her. ‘Thank you, Simon’ Rogue replies, as ionic energy pours from Wonder Man, into Rogue. ‘Oh, wow - I can see your thoughts - I can see -’ Rogue begins, as she completely absorbs Wonder Man. He is gone. Infused with ionic energy, Rogue announces that Simon is in, and she can hear him rattling around. ‘Who’s next?’ she asks. ‘We’re all of us with you, Rogue’ Captain America tells her, as he removes his glove. ‘No, Cap - we’re in this together’ Rogue replies.
Back aboard the Apocalypse Ark, Eimin and Uriel, the Apocalypse Twins, stare out at the Celestial poised over them. ‘What do you mean they’re gone?’ one of the twins shouts. Daken, one of their Horsemen of Death, stands in their chamber and replies ‘I mean, you know - they’re gone. I went to go get the Witch and her beau, and they weren’t in their chamber. They’re not on the Ark anymore. Splitsville - not here’. ‘This isn’t possible!’ Uriel exclaims. He turns to his sister, ‘You told me you saw how this happens, Eimin. That their petty squabbling ensures our victory’. Eimin calmly replies that they have changed the timeline - that somehow, they are attempting to rewrite events - that someone got through the Tachyon Dam. ‘Someone?’ Uriel asks. ‘Say his name!’ he shouts. ‘Kang! Kang got through! He’s playing us for fools- as he has our entire lives!’ Uriel declares, furiously. ‘My poor brother, you wet yourself at the mere mention of his name’ Eimin remarks.
Uriel turns to a console and contacts another of their Horsemen of Death, the Grim Reaper, asking him if he is at the Tachyon Dam. ‘Guarding it as ordered, your twin worships’ the Grim Reaper responds. Uriel informs the Reaper that something is wrong, that someone is helping the Avengers, and he believes they will come to destroy the dam next. ‘If they’re sending Wasp, like you say, we got nothing to worry about’ the Grim Reaper responds from his position at the dam. The Grim Reaper points out that the Wasp would have to kill him to get through - and they all know princess ideology ain’t gonna do that. Suddenly, the Grim Reaper turns to see Wolverine, Sunfire and Alex “Havok” Summers marching towards him. ‘Well, then I guess it’s a smart thing they sent me in her place, bub… I ain’t got no such compunction’ Wolverine declares.
Meanwhile, at the Jean Grey School, Storm, Iceman, the Beast, Psylocke and Kitty Pryde have gathered and are watching a news report that confirms reports that the giant may begin to lower itself towards Earth, and that the President has announced that the Avengers are working on a solution and for people to stay indoors and stay calm.
‘Goddess, please tell me we have a plan should they fail’ Storm utters. The Beast remarks that sending anyone up there is simply a suicide mission, when, suddenly, a portal opens, and a voice announces ‘Some good news, Hank… I’m the lucky contestant’. It’s Rogue, along with the Scarlet Witch, and the portal created by Dr Strange.
‘Rogue?’ Psylocke gasps. Wanda helps Rogue to stand as she informs the X-Men that Rogue has absorbed the power of nearly every Avenger on Earth, and that it is tearing her apart. She adds that there isn’t a terrible amount of time. Rogue tells Wanda that the X-Men don’t need an explanation, as they trust her. ‘I need ya’ll to give me your powers. Give my your sugar, Sugah’ Rogue declares, reaching out to the mutants.
‘Reaper, what is the situation? Respond to me!’ Eimin demands back in the Apocalypse Ark. ‘Appears Reaper isn’t home’ Daken points out. Eimin orders him to get to the Tachyon Dam and to guard it with his life. ‘Kill anyone who stands in your way’ she instructs him, before informing Uriel that the dam is compromised, and he must collect Jarnbjorn. ‘I’d love to - but your space-time synaesthesia has failed us again - the axe is missing!’ Uriel replies.
Back at Avengers Tower, Captain America and several others look up as Exitar looms closer. ‘I trust you, Steve, you know that, but [putting the fate of the Earth on a lone mutant -’ Iron Man begins, as Cap interrupts: ‘Rogue is an Avenger. And I trust her with this, Tony. You should, too. Like it or not…she’s the only chance we have’. Iron Man looks worried as he checks a monitor, and announces that the Celestial is lowering towards the surface. ‘It’s begun’ Cap calls out.
Rogue flies upwards from New York City, ionic energy bubbling from her hands, she tells herself that something like this - the fate of the world on her shoulders - is too big to digest. She decides that there is no emotion big enough to feel it. There are hundreds of voices inside her head, hundreds of memories. She remembers that there was a time when she couldn’t control five powers at once - but this - this is the big test. The test of everything that Charles taught her. ‘I can do this. Not for the mutants - not for the humans - not for the entire planet - do it for Charles’ Rogue thinks to herself as she suddenly starts to press up against Exitar’s foot.
‘Can Rogue handle that much energy? Can anyone?’ Iron Man asks. Captain America tells him that they better hope so, as they were given this plan from one hell of a source. ‘Why are you being coy? You hate coy - you never do goy - who did give Wolverine this plan?’ Iron Man asks, while Cap just frowns.
‘Shut up! All of you!’ Rogue calls out as she continues to push against Exitar, all sorts of energy coursing through her, upwards to help. But there are too many voices, too much power, tearing her apart. She tells herself that she just needs direction, and that she should use the Hulk’s gamma rays. ‘Stop fighting the power - grow with it’ Rogue tells herself, as she growls, and her body shifts into a Hulk-like state.
It’s not enough, Steve!’ Iron Man exclaims. He points out that every hero on Earth gave Rogue everything they’ve got, and it is not enough. ‘The Celestial is still sinking down, and in a few moments will break Earth’s crust’ Iron Man declares. ‘I know’ Cap replies. ‘Come again?’ Iron Man asks. ‘Rogue is only half of the equation, Tony’ Cap reveals, before pressing the communicator on his earpiece and asking Janet how things are coming in on her end. ‘It took some doing, but it looks like Thor convinced him, Cap. Though I think, when this is all over… we’ve got a big problem on our hands’ Janet van Dyne a.k.a. the Wasp replies as she flits through the air alongside the Horseman of Death called Sentry.
‘I am the heir of Apocalypse. I am the ancient mariner returned from his journey with clear vision. I am the protector of mankind - the destruction of these cancerous mutants’ the Sentry calls out.
‘Right on, Sentry’ the Wasp mutters. She tells him that she would love to subscribe to his newsletter and hear more about his insane ideas, but right now they have to save Earth - for whatever reason he likes. ‘I will protect mankind at any cost’ the Sentry replies, and suddenly, he reaches impact against the Celestial’s other foot, and starts to force upwards.
‘It’s working, Steve! Whoever the hell Wasp has holing that other foot - they’ve stopped the Celestial’s descent!’ Iron Man announces. Carol Danvers then asks ‘What the hell do we do now, though? We’re just standing here, powerless’ to which Sunspot adds ‘We’ve slowed his descent, how do we stop him?’ Cap looks to the sky, ‘With a god’ he announces, as suddenly, Thor appears above Exitar’s head. He raises the axe Jarnbjorn overhead, ‘I would bargain with you if I imagined any gain. I would plead my case that you are a pawn of a cosmic schemer. I would insist you listen. But you will not’ Thor tells the Celestial. ‘For there is only one tongue you understand, Exitar - the language of execution’. With that, Thor slices the ace down the side of Exitar’s neck, and cosmic energy billows out of the wound to bleed his cosmic life’s blood.
At the Tachyon Dam, Wolverine, Havok and Sunfire stand over the body of the Grim Reaper. ‘That sound - a god screaming!’ Sunfire exclaims. ‘Thor’s started the ugly work. Now it’s on us - we get one crack at this’ Wolverine tells his friends, before pointing at the dam, he tells them to blow it to hell. Havok and Sunfire then unleash the full fury of their power at the dam, causing it to explode.
‘You will not take life today - you will feed it. I will teleport your great energies to feed a dying star. To save a system that is home to trillions’ Thor tells Exitar as the cosmic blood continues to spill out of the Celestial. Thor assures Exitar that he takes no pleasure in his death, and admits that it was his hubris that set this in motion - his hand that created Jarnbjorn, Wrecker of Worlds. ‘You are merely a pawn in a great game’ Thor adds, as his mighty hammer spins.
Suddenly: ‘You have no idea… and manipulating a Celestial is no easy feat. So I’m brimming with self-satisfaction - as you can imagine’ Kang remarks as he appears near Thor. ‘What is this, Kang? What are you doing here?’ Thor shouts. ‘Finishing what I began’ Kang responds, as Abomination Deathlok suddenly grabs Thor, and then leaps towards the cosmic blood. ‘Release me, fool! You will destroy us both!’ Thor calls out. A look of horror spreads across his face, as Abomination Deathlok replies ‘As Kang has commanded. For the sake of a universe with order - let us burn!’ The cosmic blood burns around Thor, and an instant later, his helmet drops onto the platform where Kang stands. Kang sighs, ‘Can’t it be a bit challenging? My kingdom for a worthy opponent’ he remarks.
Back at Avengers Tower, Iron Man watches on a monitor, ‘Wow. Thor did it, Steve. He cleaved a hole in that damned Celestial!’ Iron Man exclaims, before informing the others that he can’t find any sign of Thor - that he has just disappeared. ‘He’ll be quite dead by now, I’m afraid…guess who will be joining him?’ Dr Doom 2099 asks as he, Ahab, Magistrate Braddock, Ma Parker and Arno Stark descend upon Avengers Tower.
Back up at the bleeding Celestial, Kang walks towards the cosmic blood, ‘I followed the true codes of honor. Gave them every opportunity to defeat me. Yet Kang emerges victorious’. He wonders what better sign there is that he is fated to reign omnipotent, the ruler of all. ‘Have I not earned my conquest?’ he asks, deciding that it is no challenge to change history and to steal control. ‘I have merely tweaked events and allowed my opponents to die by their own choices’. Kang raises a hand, the cosmic blood flows into him as he remarks ‘They are of no use to me dead. I take no pleasure from their bones rotting, for Kang is a conqueror, a ruler of men. My pride is subjugation. My conquest obedience’. Kang continues, stating that his joy born of the look on their faces as they swallow their last ounce of pride and bow before him. ‘And now - my prize - I drink the soul of a god!’ Kang shouts. Kang raises both arms overhead as the energy continues to flow around him. ‘The most powerful energy source in all of existence - the soul of the Celestial Executioner’.
Kang’s essence merges with the energy’s omnipotent well, and he boasts that this was preordained, as was his fate from the birth of this reality. ‘Reality itself, merely a puzzle for Kang to unlock, that he mighty claim - with honor - what is his!’ Kang grins and hovers over the platform, the cosmic energy billowing around him as he announces ‘That I might stand…´KANG, Conqueror of the Universe!’

Avenge the Earth, conclusion
Manhattan, Iron Man flies into the air, above a damaged street, where he sees Iron Man 2020 - Arno Stark - hovering nearby. ‘What the hell are you doing here, Arno? What the hell is going on?!’ Iron Man demands. ‘Didn’t Cap tell you? Kang is what’s going on. Because of him, because of his damned scheming, my future is gone!’ Arno declares. He raises his hand over Iron Man, and tells him that he is sorry. ‘If I thought there was any hope in hell, I’d help you out’ Arno claims. He unleashes a close-range repulsor ray, and announces that there is no stopping Kang - not now. ‘There’s only learning to serve him’ Arno explains, as Iron Man falls back to the ground, and lands against a tram, causing an explosion.
As Iron Man gathers himself, Dr Doom casts a blast of energy upwards, and announces that he bends his knee to no man. At the same time, Doom 2099 hovers in his personal force field and replies ‘Fool! Joining Kang is the only option - we were outplayed before we knew there was a game!’
Iron Fist leaps into the air to dodge Doom 2099’s blast, while Captain Marvel and the Sub-Mariner lay in some rubble, the Vision tries to blast Doom 2099’s force field open, while May Parker holds Spider-Man and Hyperion by their throats and tells him that Kang has plotted this for centuries - all to ensure only one timeline remains - the Kang Dynasty!
Up above, in space, Kang rages with cosmic fury, empowered by the blood of the Celestial Executioner. ‘The great cosmic gifts surge within me! It is the wall of the cosmos that I reshape her in my likeness! One prime dimension under the dominion of one true deity!’ Kang boasts.
Suddenly, from within the cosmic blood a voice cries ‘Nay - your fate is to die under my axe!’ It’s Thor, who pulls away from Abomination Deathlok and flies over to Kang, the axe Jarnbjorn in his grasp. ‘Right on time’ Kang remarks. ‘You’re angry, Thor. I see that’ Kang replies as he smacks Thor in the face. He grabs Thor by his throat, ‘No one likes being used, least of all an arrogant failure. By my code I owe you a fight, my puppet. And once I am done drinking, once I have had my fill - you will have your opportunity to die at my hand’. Kang then releases Thor, who starts to float through space.
‘What the hell is Kang doing here?’ Alex “Havok” Summers wonders as he and Shiro “Sunfire” Yoshida land on the shoulder of the bleeding Celestial. ‘Betraying us!’ Sunfire shouts. ‘I warned you we were playing into his hands, Havok!’ He tells Havok that Kang is not interested in saving the Earth from the Celestial Executioner - he is stealing its cosmic energies. Wearing a space-mask, Havok tells Sunfire that it is on them to stop him - as no one else even knows Kang is here. ‘The Celestial has its own atmosphere - if I could ignite the oxygen -’ Sunfire begins, to which Havok points out that it won’t be enough, so there is only one option. ‘We absorb the energy ourselves’ he tells Sunfire. ‘You are right, old friend. But I do not head into this blind to what that means - this will destroy us’ Sunfire replies as he flies Havok towards Kang, and Havok unleashes a powerful burst of energy, striking Kang in the back.
‘That was all the energy I had - he won’t be down for long. You ready for this?’ Havok asks. ‘No man is ever ready to die’ Sunfire responds as he and Havok start to touch the cosmic blood. Havok thinks to himself that Kang has foreseen this - that he must have. Everything they have done, all part of his plan - a plan that holds not only the life energies of a Celestial, but the life of Havok’s own daughter.
‘Too little - and far too late!’ Kang declares as he comes up behind the heroic mutants, and shoves a sword made from the cosmic blood through Sunfire’s chest. Havok looks on in horror as Kang moves at the speed of thought, grown far beyond the physical realm. The moment hangs frozen - Kang is slowing time, making Havok watch, frozen for an eternity as Shiro disintegrates. Kang turns to Havok and smiles, as he knows there is nothing he can do - his friend is already gone.
There is an explosion and Havok is knocked backwards - he screams as his space helmet is broken, and part of his face is exposed - it burns horrifically. ‘Quite a burn, Alex. Not even your mutated cells can process such raw cosmic power. It will be the last injury you or your friends suffer - provided you submit to the service of Kang’ the megalomaniac declares.
Havok gets to his feet, ‘You - you think I’ll serve you?’ he asks, power surging from his fists. ‘I know you’ll serve me’ With one arm extended into the cosmic blood, Kang extends his other hand and tells Alex to be calm. ‘Think of Katie. If you continue this folly - you will never see your daughter again’ Kang points out.
Back in Manhattan, Arno Stark flies down towards Iron Man, ‘Appreciate our situation, Iron Man. If we refuse Kang - we all die. More than that - our futures die’ Arno points out. ‘You can help us… help us fight him!’ Iron Man calls back. Arno readies another repulsor ray, ‘If I don’t kill you, Kang will, then me next. There’s no stopping him, Tony. Not this time. I’m a pragmatist. If our roles were reversed - you’d do the same’ Arno points out.
‘You’ve got that wrong!’ Captain America a.k.a. Steve Rogers calls out as he throws his shield, which strikes Arno’s hand, disrupting the aim of the repulsor blast. ‘We’d find another way! We’re not self-serving cowards who -’ Cap begins, before he cries out in pain as Magistrate Braddock strikes him in the back of the head with a psychic blade. ‘Blame yourself! You were the fools who trusted Kang! If we are to survive - you must die! Nothing will stop us!’ Magistrate Braddock announces. ‘Might want to reconsider, Braddock - there’s a pretty big “nothing” coming in behind you’ Cap points out, as nine cosmic being suddenly materialize overhead - Immortus and others from unknown realities - Yondu, Martinex, Nova, Captain Marvel, the Silver Surfer, Starfox, Starhawk and Phoenix-Vision.
‘To action, Infinity Watch! This is it - the crux of the last timeline - the prime hour when Kang seeds his dominion over all life!’ Immortus declares, instructing the Infinity Watch to take Kang’s puppets down while he will hunt for Kang. ‘You heard Immortus - make no mistake - if we fail here, all other possibilities are lost - the Kang ascendancy will be irreversible!’ Captain Marvel points out as he fires a blast of cosmic energy, knocking Magistrate Braddock backwards. ‘Marvel…?’ Cap asks, slightly confused as Marvel helps him to his feet. ‘We have to find Kang, Steve! He’ll have predicted all of your Avengers - the Infinity Watch is the only hope of stopping him!’ Marvel points out. But Cap reports that he doesn’t know where Kang is - or what he could be after.
Back up in space, Havok watches as Kang’s arms reach up into the cosmic blood. ‘I arranged your marriage to Janet - I willed your daughter into existence. Serve me loyally - and you’ll see them both again’ Kang declares. ‘My Katie weighted against the entire universe. He’ll return her to us - he has no reason not to - no. That’s a dream Everything he says is a lie. He’ll use her to stop me from fighting back - until it’s too late’ Havok thinks to himself. He continues to grimace, half of his face very badly burnt. Havok knows that he can’t play by Kang’s rules any more. ‘If I want my daughter - I’ll have to take her’ Havok tells himself, before releasing a massive surge of energy, striking the surprised Kang and knocking him aside. ‘Entire universe counting on me - can’t allow him to use her as a shield’ Havok decides. Wiping the blood away from his face, Kang tells Havok ‘That was unwise’. Havok knows that he has the same energy coursing through him, and believes he can take Kang, force him to return Katie - twist off his damned head.
Kang flies towards Havok, and as they clash, the cosmic energy surrounds them. ‘You are killing her, Alex! Is this how a hero behaves?’ Kang asks. Havok tells himself not to listen to Kang’s lies, not to think about any of it - just be stronger and put this monster down - for the sake of every child. At close range, Havok releases the cosmic energy built up inside him - but Kang still stands. ‘In what reality could you have ever hoped to defeat me?’ Kang asks. He tells Alex that his problem is that he believed that there is good in all people. ‘Believed there was “good” in me’ Kang points out. Kang grabs Alex by his hands and forces him to his knees. The cosmic blood surrounds Kang, who declares that it made manipulating Alex so simple, ‘But concepts such as “Good” or “evil” hold no value to a being of my prominence!’ Kang exclaims. He grins and declares that Alex has done his will since the day he was born - they all have. ‘I’m the one who gave you your child - and I will take her away! For I am GOD!’ Kang boasts.
Suddenly: ‘Would a God celebrate so prematurely - would a god so grossly underestimate his opponents?’ a voice asks. Kang turns to see a figure emerging from the cosmic blood of the Celestial, just before he is struck down by a blast of energy.
Havok is freed from Kang’s grasp, while the new arrival declares ‘I drank from the same cosmic wellspring as you, vulture. Only my frame no longer limits how much I contain!’ Havok looks up, surprised, as the being introduces himself as Sunfire, the Atomic Knight, unleashed. ‘And I am no one’s pawn, Kang. Not yours - not your children’s!’ Sunfire exclaims as he flies higher, atomic energy radiating around him, as he sets his sights on the Apocalypse Ark.
Inside the Ark, there is a musical chime as Eimin taps away at a console. She tells her brother that she can see it now, that this is the end - Kang wins all. ‘By going against him, Eimin, we have played into his hands - given him all his desires’ Uriel replies. Eimin turns to her brother and tells him that she is sorry, for she has failed him. Uriel tells his sister that he is proud of her - proud of how close they came. ‘He cheated us. Yet in some universe, we did win. Only here - here, Kang’s cruelty to us goes unpunished. And while it saddens me to die with no retribution…at least this time we die together’.
At that moment, Sunfire releases a narrow beam of atomic energy, striking the Apocalypse Ark, which explodes - just as a small shuttle escapes from it. Inside the shuttle is Wolverine a.k.a. Logan, who contacts Captain America, informing him that the Apocalypse Twins’ Ark is falling down.
Kang struggles to get to his feet, while Alex thinks to himself ‘My daughter is gone. Lost the moment he took her. Only one way to stop this - only one way to undo Kang’s schemes - the last thing he expects’. Havok moves towards Kang, ‘You wanted a challenge, genius? You got one!’ he shouts as he leaps towards Kang, and smacks him in the face with his fist, charged with energy. Havok decides that Kang didn’t expect this, as it is written all over his smug face. ‘Surprise, you piece of dirt - drink in the energy he stole - hit him with it - please, God, let this work. Find some way…some way through this - some way back to my daughter’ Alex thinks to himself as he continues to punch Kang, then grabs him by the neck. ‘Stop…!’ Kang utters, warning Alex that he will never see his daughter again. ‘Everything you say is a lie. I will see her again. And I’m done listening to you!’ Havok replies, his body charged with the cosmic energy, which he suddenly releases, before demanding that Kang give Katie to him. ‘Give her to me or I’ll kill you!’ Havok shouts.
‘Leave it to a Summers to ensure everybody loses…’ Kang mutters, warning Alex that there will be hell to pay. ‘You’ve laid your fists on Kang! And for such a thing…there is a great cost’ Kang announces, before he suddenly vanishes.
Back down on Earth, the Earth heroes and the Infinity Watch are continuing to battle Kang’s Chronos Corps. But one by one, May Parker, Arno Stark, Doom 2099 and Magistrate Braddock all vanish, too. ‘He is gone. I can feel it. Whatever his plot here - he’s failed’ someone remarks.
Ahab is at another location, as a projection of Kang appears to him, ‘I am undone, forced to flee’ he reveals. ‘Summers’ Ahab mutters. ‘There was always a small chance. And now you have work to do, Ahab’ Kang declares.
Above Earth: ‘The giant is dead… his energy retuned to the White Hot Room where it will await rebirth’ the Sentry announces. ‘How can you be certain?’ Janet van Dyne a.k.a. the Wasp asks as she hovers nearby. ‘I can feel it’ the Sentry, one of the Horsemen of Death, explains. The Sentry holds the Celestial up by his boot, and tells Janet that he has enjoyed being an Avenger today. He tells her to have no fears, as he will take a great journey, moving Exitar’s body far from Earth. ‘But, even then, know this…the Celestials’ wrath will be mighty’ the Sentry warns the Wasp, as he flies away with the dead Celestial. The Wasp contacts Cap and informs him that it is done, that the Sentry is gone - for now. She adds that she needs a portal. ‘Coming right up, Janet’ Cap replies, and an instant later, a portal materializes, and the Wasp flies into it.
The Wasp emerges through the portal created by Dr Strange, to find Captain America and Wanda Maximoff a.k.a. the Scarlet Witch gathered amongst the other heroes of Earth and the Infinity Watch. ‘Can he be trusted? Can the Sentry be trusted to -’ Cap asks, as the Wasp explains that the Sentry thinks he is the cosmic protector of humanity, so he will come through. ‘Where’s Alex? Where’s my husband?’ the Wasp then asks, urgently, looking around at the heroes. ‘He was supposed to be here - that was the plan!’ the Wasp exclaims. Captain Marvel remarks that nothing has gone according to plan. ‘And Rogue -? Please, God. Don’t let her be -’ the Scarlet Witch begins, when, suddenly, there is a streak of energy from space, and a large crater forms upon impact as Rogue lands nearby. ‘The voices - they won’t go away!’ Rogue exclaims as she stands up.
‘I’m here, Rogue - be calm’ Wanda calls out as she rushes over. ‘Make it go away!’ Rogue shouts. Energy glows around the Scarlet Witch, and she casts that energy towards Rogue, explaining that she is chaos-reversing Rogue’s powers. ‘This should releases and return the energies you borrowed’ Wanda announces as the energy flows from Rogue, and back to all of the heroes nearby. Rogue collapses in Wanda’s arms. ‘You did it, Anna Marie. You did it’ Wanda tells her. ‘What? What did you say?’ Rogue asks. ‘I said you did it -’ Wanda replies. ‘No, not you. What is… what? Who am I hearing?’ Rogue shouts. Wanda looks at Rogue perplexed, ‘You can’t hear him, can you?’ Rogue asks. ‘Who, Rogue? Who do you hear?’ Wanda enquires. ‘WHY AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN HEAR SIMON?’ Rogue screams, her eyes glowing red.
Attention is suddenly turned elsewhere, as Havok and the transformed Sunfire arrive from space. ‘J-Janet…’ the weary Havok calls out. ‘Alex!’ the Wasp exclaims. She rushes over to him: ‘My God - your face!’ the Wasp gasps. Havok announces that the wound is fused, and he has processed the radiation, so he is in no danger. ‘Shiro…are you…?’ Captain America calls out to Sunfire, who replies ‘Alive, Captain. But no longer what I was’. The Wasp smiles as she and Havok embrace. ‘It was Kang, Janet. Kang…’ Alex’s voice trails off, as suddenly, ‘What? What happened? Katie…?’ Jan asks. Havok frowns. ‘No’ the Wasp declares. She drops to her knees, ‘No, no, no, no’ she repeats. Havok crouches down beside her, and the other heroes just look on.
Meanwhile, a small piece of the Apocalypse Ark has crashed into the Sahara Desert. ‘Well, that was a waste’ Daken declares as he emerges from the wreckage, carrying Eimin’s body. The Grim Reaper walks with him, with Uriel’s body slumped over his shoulder. ‘I killed zero people. I was promised no less than Rogue and Captain America himself’ the Grim Reaper declares. Daken remarks that he was promised he would get to torture his old man for a hundred years, and tells the Reaper that not all contracts can be enforced. ‘We’re alive - I didn’t see that coming’ Daken adds. But the Grim Reaper announces that being alive is not a positive to him. ‘Hey, chin up, Gloomy Gus - look on the upside - we didn’t get what we wanted…but the sunn will come up tomorrow’ Daken declares, as the two trek off across the sand.
