Northern Lights, part 2
Last night:'Who... who are you?' a young woman called Amka Aliyak asks in her native Inuktitut addressing a glowing, wonderfully colored woman who appears before her, surrounded by various animals with the same glow and color. The apparition introduces herself as Sila, and explains that she is the sky the wind and the weather – the soul of the North. 'What do they call you?' Sila asks. Amka introduces herself, and asks Sila how she ended up here. They are in a bunker in the Arctic, and Sila explains that the land shook and she was pulled from her slumber, she awoke surrounded by this unnatural place.
'That sounds creepy and awful, so let's see if we can fix it. There's gotta be a way to set you free...' Amka declares as she begins looking at panels within the bunker. Suddenly, a strange bug-like robot appears, darting towards Amka, 'Perimeter security breach!' the robot exclaims, while Sila tells Amka to beware. 'Oh, crap!' Amka gasps, while another robot appears, flying above Amka, it identifies her as an unenhanced human with a low threat level, before activating a taser, which the robot blasts towards her, but Amka drops to the ground, escaping harm.
'Let her be!' Sila shouts as she casts some energy about, but the little robot flies over to her and activates a containment protocol, trapping Sila in a force bubble, Sila screams in agony. 'No!' Amka shouts. 'I'll show you a “threat level”!' Amka exclaims as she grabs one of the little robot bugs, forces it against the other, and slams them both into the force bubble. 'TAKE THAT!' she shouts, destroying the robots, which creates some sort of energy back lash. The energy rises and crackles up through the facility like lightning, which is seen by a young man who is watching from behind a wire fence. 'Whoa! What was that?' he wonders, before the energy explodes again and engulfs the facility. 'AAAAAH!' he screams, before looking worried and calling out to Amka.
When the explosion and smoke clear, Amka can be seen curled up in the center of a crater. 'Child of the North... that was very brave' Sila remarks as she hovers over Amka, who looks up at her and tells her that she is sorry. 'Why?' Sila asks. Tears in her eyes, Amka reveals that when she was young, her uncle told her stories about the Silap Inua – but she didn't believe him. Suddenly, several more of the bug-like robots fly towards Sila and Amka. 'Energy breach' one of the robots states, while Sila remarks 'And now you do'. 'Yeah...right before I die' Amka coughs, as another robot reports 'Threat level: high'. Sila declares that Amka is a warrior, and tells her that though she does not know what the future holds, she does know this: 'You will not die this day'. As the robots close in, Sila releases an energy which engulfs Amka and creates a blinding light.
Now:Sam Alexander a.k.a. Nova looks down at the energy burn in his chest, 'Uh... that's not good' he utters as more energy blasts are fired into the Champions' jet, which is being piloted by Amadeus Cho a.k.a. Hulk. 'Nova! Wait!' Hulk calls out as Nova suddenly flies out of the ship through the smashed screen. 'Ah'm just gonna fly home and get a doctor' Nova calls back – before he suddenly stops flying and begins to plummet to the water beneath, as bug-like robots continue to fire energy beams at the Champion's jet. 'Nova has lost consciousness' Viv Vision points out as she phases her body so that one of the energy beams passes through her. Riri Williams a.k.a. Ironheart tells Viv that she will keep the drones focused, and for her to go get Nova. Viv increases her density to intercept, dropping to the icy waters below. As she hits the water, Viv reports that the water temperature is 32.5 degrees fahrenheit, and that Nova will not last long, while Nova sinks to the depths below.
Back in the jet, Nadia van Dyne a.k.a. Wasp dodges the blast of one of the bug robots, and declares 'Robots like you give inventors like me a bad name, you know that?' before using her powers on one of the robots and telling it to go play in the Microverse, as the robot is shrunk down. Miles Morales a.k.a. Spider-Man darts about the jet, dodging more laser blasts, 'We're getting worked' he shouts, before firing his webbing at one of the robots, latching onto it, he tells Hulk that they have gotta get out of here. 'Roger that, Spidey!' Hulk replies as Spider-Man swings the robot towards the Hulk, who crushes it. Ironheart continues to blast the robots and tells the others that she will gold them off while they grab Nova and Viv, as several of the robots blast her at once. Inside the jet, Kamala Khan a.k.a. Ms Marvel stretches her hands to either side of the jet's hull and tells Ironheart that they are not leaving her to fight alone. 'We're a team, and -' Kamala begins, but Riri tells her that there is no time to argue, and to go.
Suddenly: 'ENOUGH!' a voice shouts, and one of the robots pauses defensive measures, as Ironheart looks up and sees a man in a black costume with armor across his chest, a long red cape flowing behind him and a red and silver helmet over his head hovering before her. 'What is the meaning of this assault upon my domain? Explain yourselves!' the new arrival booms, as his robot-bugs hover around him. 'Who the flip is that?' Miles asks. Kamala frowns and replies that she thinks he calls himself “The Master of the World”. 'Wow. That is the most bad guy-eriffic name I've ever heard' Amadeus remarks.
Viv Vision then bursts from the water, with Nova in her arms, she reports that he has suffered severe internal damage, along with cold-water shock and hypothermia, and his life signs are critical. She places him on the ice near the Master, who announces that his servants can help. Ironheart flies over to them, 'You think we're gonna let you touch him after you -' she begins, to which the Master interrupts her: 'If you ww\ant to save his life, yes' he declares. Wasp flies over to the Master and reports that they came here for science and research, and then his drones attacked them. The Master explains that his drones entered defensive mode. 'Your robots shot our friend!' Wasp exclaims. Ironheart asks Viv if she can treat Nova, but Viv expains that his injuries are beyond her abilities, especially without any equipment on hand, so they have no other option within range. The robots release cables, which they wrap around Nova and lift him into the air. The Master gives his word that his servants will not harm Nova, and allows Viv to go with them and observe, if she would like. 'I will' Viv responds.
Miles and Kamala are both wearing jackets to protect them from the cold as they, Amadeus, Riri and Nadia surround the Master. Amadeus tells him to start talking, and asks what this is all about. The Master tells the young heroes that he is sorry their friend was injured when his servants defended the site, but the work he is doing here is too valuable to be disturbed. 'Oh yeah? And what kind of work is that?' Kamala asks as she creates a large fist, ready to strike. The Master smirks as he replies 'Quite simply, really... I'm repairing arctic sea ice to halt global climate change'. The Champions looks shocked. 'Huh?' Miles asks. 'What?' Riri exclaims. 'Are you serious?' Kamala calls out. 'Quite' the Master responds, before asking the Champions to come along with him and he will show them.
The Master hovers over the Champions as they follow him across the snow. He tells them that glaciers in this region have lost 37 percent of their mass in the past nine months – a rate far beyond seasonal melting and refreezing. He explains that as major ice formations like this crumble and permafrost thaws, the world's temperature rises, creating new and more violent weather patterns. Kamala tells him they know that, which is why the Wasp and her GIRL science team having been analyzing ice levels, looking for solutions. 'The solution is already underway' the Master replies, motioning to strange scaffolding set up around glaciers. The Master explains that his servants build high-tech scaffolds, grow glacial lattice formations and then reattach them to repair the damage that has been done. The Wasp flitters towards the Master and tells him that she didn't think ice creation was possible on this scale. 'It isn't, not with your primitive scientific systems' the Master responds.
The Master reveals that over forty thousand years ago, he was a simple man who stumbled upon a crashed vessel of the Plodex, an advanced alien race, who then saved him and upgraded his genetic structure. He explains that his servants and this facility are built using their superior technology. Amadeus looks around, intrigued, and tells the Master 'Okay, so you're fixing glaciers and rebalancing temperature and that's, forgive the pun, pretty cool. But you call yourself the “Master of the World” and you're big-time evil, so what's the catch?' The Master levitates higher and raises his arms overhead as he replies that the “catch” is he will rule this planet at some point in the future, but the only way he can do that is to make sure there is a planet for him to rule – so in short, he is here to save Earth from itself! “At some point in the future” Kamala quotes the Master, asking him how soon that is. The Master smiles and points out that he has waited over forty thousand years, learning and improving himself at each step – so what is a few hundred more if it means the planet is safe and ready for his conquest? 'Uh...I think this requires a team huddle' Miles suggests, while Kamala looks on, concerned.
Inside the Master's facility, Viv hovers near the table where Nova has been placed. A computer states that the medical functions are complete, and that the subject's life signs are stable. 'Your work is quick and impressive' Viv remarks.
'Oh, man. That suuuucked' the young Nova mumbles as he wakes. Viv calls him Samuel and greets him, assuring him that he has not perished. 'I never told you my real name...' Sam replies. Viv informs him that the mobile calls he makes to their Champions group chat are registered to Samuel Alexander, at an address corresponding to his own. 'You may wish to change that' Viv suggests. 'Right...' Sam mutters, before telling Viv that she saved his life. Viv replies that she retrieved him from the water, but that the advanced drones of this facility were the ones that operated on him. 'And now you're holding my hand...' Sam points out. Viv reveals that her father explained to her that basic physical contact is a way to reassure the sick or infirm that they are being properly cared for. 'So... can we go on a date?' Sam smiles. 'No' Viv replies.
Back outside, the Champions are huddled, and Kamala tells the others that she is feeling really torn about all this. 'Bad guys being good guys is... good, right?' Nadia asks. 'I saw Doctor Doom do this hero bit with Iron Man. I don't know...' Riri remarks. Miles suggests that if the Master is serious, then he won't even be a threat until the year 2300-something, at which point they will all be dead or clones, or whatever. 'So that's a Champions: The Next Generation problem?' Amadeus asks, 'Yeah, we'll leave them a time capsule about it' Miles suggests.
'Satisfied?' the Master asks the Champions. 'For now' Kamala replies. 'Good' the Master tells her, before offering to show the young heroes the rest of the facility. The Master motions to a factory and tells the Champions this is where his servants manufacture more help for the cause. As the young heroes walk past a large crater in the ground, Riri asks the Master what happened there. The Master claims that they were testing their defense systems. 'With your self-replicating robo-drones?' Amadeus asks. The Master tells the Champions not to worry, as they are not fully autonomous, and he maintains control. 'until they go into crazy defense mode and hurt people' Nadia remarks. The Master apologizes for his robots hurting Nova, and assures them it will not happen again. Miles looks perplexed, and asks his teammates if anyone else hears chanting.
OUR LAND!! OUR RULES! NO MORE FACTORIES!' voices call out from where a group of protesters have gathered outside the tall wire fence surrounding the Master's facility. A robot reports that the perimeter security is maintained and threat level is minimal. 'You can't hide from us! We'll make you face justice!' a young man shouts, gripping the fence. Nadia points out that it looks like the locals are not happy with the Master's experiment. The Master claims that they do not appreciate the greater good being served here – but even so, they will benefit from its effects. 'It's the Champions!' one of the crowd calls out. 'Hulk...Hulk! You've gotta help us!' another pleads, getting Amadeus' attention. 'What's going on?' Amadeus asks as he and Kamala approach the perimeter fence. The young man on the other side asks them to listen to him, and introduces himself as Pilip. He informs them that last night, his friend Amka snuck over the fence and never came back. He adds that her mother is worried sick, and he needs to find her. 'Oh my gosh, that's awful!' Kamala exclaims.
The Master flies towards the fence and reports that there is no record of any trespassers until the Champions flew overhead and engaged his servants. 'But she -' Pilip begins, however the Master interrupts him, informing the Champions that he empathizes with this boy's plight, but assures them that the girl is not here. 'OUR LAND! OUR RULES! NO MORE FACTORIES!' the protesters continue to chant. 'You can't build here!' one of them calls out, while another exclaims that they deserve control of their land. The Master flies higher, hovering over the protesters and tells them that this is about far more than government jurisdictions or tribal land treaties, as once the world's climate is safe, they will be free to quibble over borders – he doesn't finish his sentence as someone throws a snowball at him, hitting him in his face. 'You DaRe strike me? I should -' the Master begins, angrily, before looking down at the Champions, who are watching him closely. 'OUR LAND! OUR RULES! NO MORE FACTORIES!' the protesters continue. The Master boasts that, thankfully, he is nothing if not magnanimous toward his neighbors here in the North, while smirking.
'Hulk, please!' Pilip pleads through the wire fence. He asks Hulk to tear the fence down so they can take back their land and find his friend. 'I... I don't know, dude. He's really fixing stuff... saving the environment... it's complicated' Amadeus replies. 'That look the Master gave back there...pure Doctor Doom' Riri tells Miles, who agrees. Riri tells Miles that she has a bad feeling about this. Miles agrees and proposes that he will poke around and see what he can find. Riri tells him that she will hold down the fort in the meantime, as Miles vanishes. The Master suggests to the Champions that they go check on their friend's recovery. Kamala quietly tells Nadia that this thing feels awkward, and that she doesn't want to ignore those people. 'We're not. We'll make sure it's on the level and then help the Master and the village come to some kind of agreement' Nadia replies.
Suddenly, the Master's robots report that there is a perimeter breach. 'More distractions?' the Master wonders as he looks to the sky, where a jet can be seen approaching the facility. Kamala sees the jet as well and asks Ironheart if she can identify it. Ironheart begins to run a scan, while the Master smiles, and sighs that it was just a matter of time. 'Positive match' Ironheart reports as she identifies the craft as the Omnijet continues to approach, and suddenly, Carol Danvers a.k.a. Captain Marvel drops down between the Champions and the Master of the World. 'Threat level high' one of the big-like robots states as Captain Marvel is joined by four of Canada's mightiest: Snowbird! Sasquatch! Talisman! Puck! The Champions look concerned as they see Canada's premiere super heroes, who all look very unimpressed, while the Master tells Captain Marvel and Alpha Flight that it is good to see them again, and asks whether they have met his new friends, the Champions....

Northern Lights, part 3
'Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm sensing a bit of tension in the air... let's all settle down. I'm sure we can come to an amicable solution' the Master of the World declares as he hovers over members of the teenage heroes called the Champions, and a gathering of Canada's finest – Alpha Flight! The Master's mysterious factory towers behind them as the heroes come face to face in the Arctic Circle. Amadeus Cho a.k.a. Hulk, Nadia van Dyne a.k.a. Wasp, Kamala Khan a.k.a. Ms Marvel and Riri Williams a.k.a. Ironheart find themselves up against Carol Danvers a.k.a. Captain Marvel, the goddess Narya a.k.a. Snowbird, Eugene Judd a.k.a. Puck, Dr Walter Langkowski a.k.a. Sasquatch and Elizabeth Twoyoungmen a.k.a. Talisman. 'You kids need to step back. We're taking the Master in!' Puck announces. Ms Marvel shifts her hands into two very large hands as she comes between the Master and Alpha Flight and tells Canada's premiere super heroes that the Master isn't hurting anyone – although she hates calling him the Master. Kamala explains that he is using his robot drones to rebuild the glaciers and slow down global warming.
'The young Marvelite speaks the truth. I'm here to save the world' the Master assures his long-time foes. 'Let me guess, you're gonna “save the world” so you can conquer it!' Sasquatch snarls. 'Whoa there, Sasquatch' Amadeus Cho remarks, trying to calm Sasquatch down. 'Naturally. But the timeline on my domination of this planet is... flexible' the Master replies.
Carol tells Ms Marvel that she needs to trust her on this, as the Master is a megalomaniac empowered with alien technology, so whatever he tells her he is doing, it is a lie, plain and simple. Carol adds that they are here to apprehend him so he can't cause any harm. 'How do you know what he's doing is bad 'til you look at it?' Ms Marvel asks Carol, who informs her that they have dealt with the Master before. Ms Marvel tells Captain Marvel that she gets it – what the Master is doing is technically illegal. 'But so was locking up a bunch of people for “predictive justice,” right?' she reminds Carol, adding 'You did what you thought was right, no matter what'. 'That was quite a rich little moral conflict, wasn't it?' the Master smirks. 'Shut up, you smug psychopath!' Carol snaps. Carol then turns to Kamala and asks her if they are really going there right now. 'Is that what this is about?' she asks. 'I thought you said we were cool... that we'd talk about it' Kamala replies. Carol tells her that they will – but not here and not like this.
Ironheart contacts her teammates over her communications system, informing Viv Vision and Sam Alexander a.k.a. Nova that they have a situation forming and could use some backup. Viv and Sam are inside the Master's facility, where Sam has been recovering from injuries, as Viv tells Ironheart that she understands, and that she and Nova are ready to assist. 'We are?' Nova asks.
'You kids don't know what you're doing' Puck remarks as Nadia van Dyne flies over to him in her small wasp-sized form. 'Adults keep saying that, but I don't see you fixing the ice, Puck!' she exclaims. Sasquatch and Hulk eye each other up, as Carol declares that she doesn't want to fight, but that they are not backing down, as the Master is too dangerous. 'This macho garbage...this is why I quit the Avengers!' Kamala exclaims. Talisman tells Carol to fear not, and energy starts glowing around her hands as she prepares to cast a simple spell of slumber – but before she can finish spellcasting, Ironheart fires a blast at her, 'I don't think so, Talisman!' Ironheart exclaims, knocking Talisman backwards. Sasquatch then roars and wraps his hand across Hulk's face. Amadeus sighs and mutters 'So much for diplomacy'.
Inside the facility, Miles Morales a.k.a. Spider-Man is crawling along the ceiling as the Master's big-like robot drones fly underneath him, one of them states that there is an active perimeter threat. 'I hope everything's okay up top' Miles whispers to himself, when suddenly, his spider-sense begins tingling, and he realizes something is nearby. Darting between several laser-sensor beams in the corridor, Miles follows that little pulse, carefully, wanting to know where it leads him. The pulse feels strong as he rounds a corner, and to his shock, he finds a woman, glowing with colors, strapped into some machinery that appears to be absorbing her energies.
Back outside, Sasquatch holds Amadeus back, while Snowbird transforms into a polar bear. 'Quickly, Snowbird! Knock Amadeus out before he breaks my grip!' Sasquatch tells her, as Snowbird, in the bear form, begins to punch Amadeus. 'Stand down, Miss Williams!' Carol calls out as she fires a blast towards the young, armored woman, who blocks the blast with a force field and  informs Captain Marvel that her name is Ironheart. 'HEY!' Puck calls out as one of the bug-like robots fires a blast towards him, while Wasp shrinks Ms Marvel down and flies her towards Talisman, who has started to cast another spell. 'This is a complete disaster!' Ms Marvel exclaims. Nadia tells her not to despair, and that once they subdue Alpha Flight, they can show them the glacier repair process and come to some kind of compromise. As she casts her spell, Talisman is confused as to why the spiritual energy here is so weak, but before she can investigate further, Ms Marvel is reverted back to her true size, and drops down on Talisman, knocking her to the snow-covered ground. 'I swear we don't wanna hurt anyone!' Ms Marvel exclaims.
'That was a good hit, Snowbird...but I'm the Hulk!' Amadeus exclaims as he flips Sasquatch over his shoulders and slams him into Snowbird who is still in her polar bear form. 'Just remember, your magic lady started this!' Ironheart calls out to Captain Marvel, who flies toward, dodging Ironheart's blasts, before slamming a fist into her armored form and knocking her backwards towards the scaffolding surrounding a nearby glacier. The Master revels in this, and tells himself that it is delicious, even more satisfying than he hoped. Snowbird reverts to her default form, while Sasquatch sits up as Nadia flies over to him and tells him that she knows this isn't the best timing, but that she is a big fan of his work. She adds that his papers on gamma radiation were very informative when she was studying in Russia. 'I hope we can be friends after this is over' Nadia smiles as she shrinks the surprised Sasquatch down with her control over Pym Particles.
'Kid-Hulk, you're making a mistake!' Puck calls out as he darts about in front of Amadeus. 'Oh yeah, Puck? Only mistake I see – is messing with me!' Amadeus declares as he slams Puck into the ice. Captain Marvel flies towards Amadeus, knowing that she has to put him down before he lays out the whole team – but before she can reach him, Nova appears, and flies straight into Carol, 'One intergalactic-powered interception coming right up!' he smiles, as they both slam into the ice, and bounce along it for some distance. 'Carol!' Talisman calls out. 'Nova!' Ms Marvel gasps as they look over to where smoke rises from the impact of their landings. Viv Vision drops down before Snowbird and tells her that it would be unwise to continue this attack, as the Champions have superior numbers and at least four other distinct combat advantages at this time.
Back inside, Miles has freed the young woman, Amka, from the machinery, and puts his jacket around her, telling her that he has her. 'Are...are you okay?' Miles asks as he leads the young woman out of the room. 'Wh-where am I?' Amka asks in her native Inuktitut. Colorful lights begin tyo glow around her, and Miles shields his eyes, 'Aw, geez! I really hope you're not radioactive or anything like that... not that I haven't been bitten by worse...' he adds, while Amka explains that the man with his machines is hurting her, taking her soul. Miles' spider-sense begins to go haywire as a loud rumbling noise can be heard.
'Is that an earthquake?' Kamala asks above ground. Talisman announces that it is some kind of powerful magic energy, and Snowbird senses it, too. Suddenly, there is a mighty roar, and the icy ground is torn apart with a powerful KROOOM as a large bear-like creature with horns bursts upwards, and Miles, too, clinging to the creature's back. 'Truce?' Carol asks Kamala. '...yeah' Kamala smiles in response, while Snowbird and Viv fly towards the creature, and Talisman readies a spell. 'I'll hold that big n' ugly while you two tear it down!' Amadeus calls out to Snowbird and Viv, who agree with the plan. The strange creature chomps down on Hulk's arm, while Snowbird switches into an arctic owl and starts scratching at the creature. Miles is still on the creature's back and looks up at Viv, 'She's freaking out, but I don't think she's a bad guy! We've gotta stop her!' Miles calls out, while the Master looks at this latest development and thinks to himself that this is unfortunate.
The creature roars and lashes out towards Viv, who dodges it, as the creature shakes the Hulk off, knocking him backwards. 'Please don't hurt everyone!' Miles calls out as he tries to shock the creature's head with an energy blast. Snowbird flies past in her owl form, while the Wasp is searching for Sasquatch. 'Uh... Dr Langkowski... where's you go?' she calls out. 'I'm down here! Turn off the Pym Particles!' Sasquatch shouts from where he runs along the ground, in between the creature's large feet, before Nadia reverses the Pym Particles, and Sasquatch reverts to his true size, 'Surprise, fur-face!' he shouts as he appears in front of the creature, wrapping his arms around the mysterious beast, Carol, Nova, Viv and Miles begin to blast it with energies. 'Concentrate fire! Keep it off-balance!' she tells them as Sasquatch holds the beast down. Talisman announces that she must dissipate the spiritual energy fueling the creature as energy darts about her, and Sasquatch tells her that whatever she is going to do, to do it now.
Suddenly, there is a loud THOOOM and energy rises up from the creature, who vanishes, revealing Amka in its place. Miles goes over to her and wraps his jacket around her once more, while asking her not to turn into a monster again. Amka replies that she won't, before realizing that he doesn't understand Inuktitut, so in English she tells him that she is not a monster. 'Young girl... were you cursed?' Talisman asks as she walks over to Amka. 'Not a curse, not... it's a blessing' Amka replies, explaining that Sila, the soul of the North, saved her. Amka reveals that Sila's energy was pulled out of the ground by machines and used like a battery. 'By YOU!' she shouts, pointing up at the Master of the World. Alpha Flight, Captain Marvel and the Champions all look up the Master, who sighs. 'You would strip this land of its great spirit?' Snowbird snaps. '“Spirit”...Feh!' the Master mutters, declaring that all energy is a resource to be used by those powerful enough to wield it. 'Saving Earth from humankind's contamination is far more important than an old magic ghost...' the Master remarks.
Alpha Flight and the Champions gather in close together, 'That's not your choice to make!' Kamala calls out to the Master, while Captain Marvel tells the Master that this operation of his is over. 'Face your crimes, corruptor!' Amka exclaims, energy glowing around her hands. 'I think not' the Master replies as he flies in towards one of the scaffold systems surrounding the glaciers, while his bug-like robots open fire at the heroes. 'Go for Champions!' Ironheart exclaims. 'Alpha Flight, attack!' Carol shouts as they and Nova fly forward, with the others following them. 'You fools will never learn!' the Master calls back to the heroes. 'This world does not deserve my genius!' the Master shouts, and suddenly, he activates a self-destruct on the scaffolding, which begin to collapse towards the heroes as he escapes.
A few hours later, Captain Marvel and Ms Marvel sit the slope of a glacier that overlooks a local village as night descends. Kamala tells Carol that she is really sorry, as she never wanted things to go this way. Carol tells Kamala that she knows she didn't, that her heart was in the right place, as it always is. Carol admits that she should not have jumped the gun and forced them into a fight. Carol then tells Kamala that people like the Master prey on their fears, offering quick solutions to big problems. 'I truly believe we can overcome anything, but we have to do it together' Carol smiles. 'Yeah!' Kamala smiles back. They head back down to the village, and Kamala remarks that they were so excited by what the Master could do that they didn't listen to the people of Pangnirtung. 'I was trusting my gut, but I should have trusted theirs' Kamala admits. As they join their teammates and the locals who have gathered in the middle of the village, Carol tells Kamala that she doesn't think amka will let her make that mistake again, as Amka uses her power to create brilliant light illusions of local wildlife in the star-filled sky.
'Amka, I can't believe it! You're a super hero!' Amka's friend Pilip calls out as he walks towards her. 'A what? No, Pilip. I'm just...me' Amka replies. Snowbird watches them and tells Amka that her friend speaks true. Puck offers to put Amka in touch with his friend James Hudson, explaining that he could enroll her in the Beta Flight training program. 'No way, Puck! I met her first, so she's sticking with the Champions!' Miles shouts. Amka turns in shock as voice calls out to her, 'Amka, my baby, you're filled with the light!' a woman in a wheelchair exclaims. 'Sila's energy moves through me now, mother' Amka explains as she goes over to the woman in the wheelchair and hugs her. As she uses her power to turn one arm into an arctic wolf leg, Amka admits that she never believed in the old ways, and told great-grandfather that his stories were all make-believe – but now, here she is, filled with spirits and songs she has never heard before. 'What would he say to me now?' Amka asks. 'He'd be proud' Amka's mother replies, wiping tears from her eyes.
Viv Vision and Miles go over to Amka, and Viv tells her that, as Miles indicated, the Champions would be pleased to have her join them if that is her desire. She adds that sharing their experiences and accomplishments builds confidence. 'That sounds great' Amka replies, and Miles tells her it will be awesome. Amka looks at her mother and tells the Champions that she wants to travel, and help people – but her mother needs her here. 'Says who?' Amka's mother exclaims. Amka crouches down beside her mother, who tells her that she took care of herself long before she came along, and will keep doing it when she is not around. 'I...' Amka starts to say, but her mother hugs her and tells her that she has been given a gift. 'Okay, but I don't even know what it means!' Amka replies, so her mother tells her to go forth and find out – to tell the world their story! 'Okay...' Amka replies as she removes her jacket, revealing her blue, white and black costume underneath, she uses her power to grow large feathered wings, and takes to the brilliantly colored sky, smiling, she announces '... I will!'

The End is Nigh (1st story)
(1st story):
The Dream Dimension, domain of Nightmare, Lord of Horror. Nightmare himself watches through a viewing portal and exclaims ‘Well, well. Sometimes dreams do come true. Six sleeping precognitive scattered across the globe share the same vision…Hercules returns!’ Nightmare declares. ‘The mortals thought you died in battle against mad Hera to save their world…but someone’s found you alive and brought you back…enhanced? Or is that…insane?’ Nightmare remarks as he watches a projection of an enraged Hercules. Nightmare smirks and exclaims ‘Ah, Lion of Olympus. Will you finally show your true colors…and gift the world such nightmares only a god can inspire?’
Nightmare grins wickedly as he exclaims to his demons ‘Prepare yourselves, my pretties…for the fool is about to set our plate with the most delicious horrors in millennia!’. Suddenly, a voice exclaims ‘So proud, Lord Nightmare? What terrors do dreams inspire…next to the true void?’ Amatsu Mikaboshi asks as he moves towards Nightmare, his clawed fingers extended. ‘Darkness, entropy…the naught before creation! Behold KING CHAOS!’ Mikaboshi declares as he slices Nightmare’s chest open.
‘K-Kking Chaos? You f-f-finally make your move…but why kill me? We’re p-p-practically brothers’ Nightmare gasps. ‘Your darkness is where I thrive. Whatever you p-plan…I can help!’ Nightmare declares, before reaching up and asking Mikaboshi to give him his heart back. Nightmare’s heart remains on two of Mikaboshi’s fingers, and the Chaos King replies ‘Fool. Your mere evil…still needs creation to thrive. But now this honor. In the great return…to non-existence itself…Lord Nightmare falls first!’ And with that, Mikaboshi destroys Nightmare’s heart, and Nightmare shrivels up.
Meanwhile, in New Orleans, Doctor Voodoo the Sorcerer Supreme feels the impact of Nightmare’s demise, and groans as he eats his breakfast. On Utopia, home of the Uncanny X-Men, Emma Frost also receives some psychic feedback. ‘Emma! What is it?’ Cyclops calls out. She replies that she doesn’t know, but that something just shifted, or broke. At Atlas Foundation Headquarters, the Uranian is playing tennis with Gorilla Man when he keels over. ‘What, a million voices calling out as one?’ Gorilla Man asks. ‘Not quite, more like a single horrific howl…followed by a clarion loud enough…to wake God himself!’ the Uranian replies.
Meanwhile, in New York City, there is a cloud formation as dust and debris, trees and civilians are swept aside as Hercules appears! ‘Attend my words, mortals! For I am Hercules…Lord of Olympus…God of Heroes…come to warn you of your doom!’ Debris continues to sweep across the city, as civilians seek shelter. ‘The Chaos King is at hand!’ Hercules booms. ‘All true heroes must awake!’ he calls out. ‘Okay! I’m awake! I’m awake!’ Spider-Man exclaims as he slams into the side of a building. ‘And face the first and final menace!’ Hercules exclaims, while Mister Fantastic, the Human Torch and the Thing are knocked about as they try to enjoy a barbeque. ‘I’ll show ya menace, ya dumb lug!’ the Thing exclaims.
‘Or endure the end -’ Hercules begins, before someone throws a take-away coffee cup at him. ‘Aww- shaddap!’ the civilian exclaims. ‘…of all…?’ Hercules utters, before turning to the civilians that are gathering around him. ‘God, huh? I got serious issues with you!’ one of the civilians calls out. ‘God? Please. He’s just another super-jerk who’s gonna slap around a buncha other super-jerks - and leave us to pay the cleanup bill!’ another exclaims. ‘How can you say you’re God? That’s offensive! I’m offended!’ another civilian shouts, before announcing that they are tweeting about this right now.
Hercules approaches the civilians and tells them to listen to him: ‘The August Star of Heaven comes - the greatest threat the Multiverse has ever seen -’ he begins. ‘We hear that every time Galactus shows up!’ one of the civilians scoffs. ‘You don’t understand -’ Hercules exclaims as he slams a foot down on the ground, sending the civilians backwards as the ground splits around them. ‘Whoops’ Hercules exclaims. ‘Yow!’ one of the civilians calls out, before Iron Man swoops down: ‘Okay, big guy…this is the Avengers’ show, now’ Iron Man exclaims. ‘Whoa! Iron Man! Uh, could I get your autograph or something?’ the civilian asks as Iron Man catches him.
Hercules looks around as various heroes gather around him - Spider-Man, Iron Man, Wolverine, the new Captain America, the Thing, Wiccan, Stature, Luke Cage and others. ‘Now, if you really are Hercules, welcome back’ Iron Man begins, adding that they thought he was dead, though he admits that is not uncommon in their profession. ‘But you’re giving off energy readings like nothing my old pal Herc ever generated -’ ‘Whoa! Captain America? Luke Cage?’ the civilian Iron Man is holding calls out. ‘Enough, dude. Man’s still talking!’ Luke Cage tells the civilian.
Iron Man continues, telling Hercules that until they can verify that he is who he says he is, ‘I’m going to have to ask you to come with -’ Iron Man begins, but energy flows around Hercules, and Luke Cage tells everyone to get back: ‘He’s fixin’ to pop!’ he exclaims, before suddenly: ‘Take five, quote-unquote heroes…we’ve got this!’ Amadeus Cho exclaims as he and his companion Delphyne Gorgon appear on-scene courtesy of a Bannertech teleportation field. ‘Amadeus. Should have known you were in on this somehow’ Iron Man exclaims. ‘Someone had to be!’ Amadeus exclaims. ‘What’s that supposed to mean?’ Iron Man asks.
‘You Avengers thought he was dead. So you poured a forty for him and went to bed’ Amadeus replies. ‘I don’t drink’ Iron Man declares. ‘Wev’ Amadeus mutters, while exclaiming ‘I, on the other hand, being a real friend, risked my very soul to collect the ancient artifacts that turned me into an omnipotent god capable of bringing Herc back from the alternate bubble universe to which his stepmother Hera had exiled him!’ ‘Oookay. But you don’t look so omnipotent to me’ Iron Man replies. Amadeus explains that kind of power would destroy the mind of any mere mortal who possessed it longer than two hot minutes, which is why he channeled all that energy into Hercules when he returned. ‘Now are you gonna let me talk him down or do you wanna see what happens when a god explodes?’ Amadeus asks, motioning to Hercules who is covering his head as if in agony.
‘Hey man, it’s me. Don’t speak!’ Amadeus calls out to Hercules. ‘Amade-’ Hercules begins, as energy blasts between them. ‘Whoa! You gotta focus, buddy!’ Amadeus tells his friend. ‘You’re a freaking super-god now. Your slightest move could sink the Titanic!’ Amadeus exclaims, before assuring Hercules that it will not be like that, as he is right here with him. ‘And we’re just gonna…chill’ Amadeus declares. Delphyne reminds Amadeus that “the big oaf” has not “chilled” in three thousand years. ‘Don’t know why you’d expect him to start now’ she remarks. ‘Delphyne. Support. A little. Please?’ Amadeus whispers.
‘We going in?’ Luke asks. ‘No’ Iron Man tells him. ‘You trust the kid?’ Luke asks. ‘No…’ Iron Man tells him. ‘But Hercules does’. Amadeus approaches Hercules who is now crouched on the ground. ‘Hey’ Hercules smiles. ‘Hey’ Amadeus replies. Hercules pats Amadeus on the back. ‘Okay, shoulder almost broke. So you’re back to your normal hamhandedness’ Amadeus remarks. ‘So yeah, you’re welcome’ Amadeus begins, before there is a flash of lightning-like energy, and Hercules, Amadeus and Delphyne vanish. ‘Whoa!’ Luke Cage exclaims. ‘Thought we weren’t going in’ he adds. ‘I didn’t do that. And given Herc’s new power levels…I shudder to think who did’ Iron Man adds.
At that moment, Hercules, Amadeus and Delphyne find themselves in front of the Council of Godheads. ‘Amadeus Cho!’ one of the Council booms. ‘Hercules, son of Zeus!’ another declares. ‘You have trifled with powers forbidden to mortals - and gods!’ another announces. ‘Kneel before the All-Fathers of Earth…’ another tells them. ‘…and prepare to be judged by the Council of Godheads!’ another exclaims. ‘Hooboy’ Amadeus mutters. ‘All-Fathers, eh? Finally…I don’t…have to…hold back!’ Hercules shouts as he begins attacking the Council of Godheads with his incredible brute strength.
‘Heresy most foul! Brothers! Smite him down!’ one of the Council exclaims as Hercules punches him in the face. The Council begins attacking Hercules together, but his resists their attack: ‘If you cared about anything but guarding your own privileges…if you used a fraction of your power against the true threat that faces us…but no! You’re as fickle and foolish as my own father ever was!’ Hercules exclaims as he continues to punch his way through the Council. ‘Stay your hand, friend Hercules, and listen to -’ one of the gods exclaims, but Hercules ignores him: ‘But today…your reign ends!’ Hercules exclaims as he punches the god.
Amadeus sits down as Hercules battles the Council. Delphyne approaches Amadeus and asks him if he is all right. ‘He’s - he’s out of control!’ Amadeus exclaims. ‘That’s his natural state. You just noticed?’ Delphyne jokes. ‘But just five minutes ago, when we were in New York, everything was -’ Amadeus begins, while Delphyne tells him that he changed Hercules when he brought him back. ‘Gave him more power than his mind can bear’ she exclaims, before pointing out that if the threat of which he speaks is true, they may still have reason to celebrate rather than eviscerate him for the deed.
‘Okay, I’m gonna pretend that’s Amazon for “I love you”’ Amadeus tells Delphyne, when suddenly, there is a burst of energy that knocks Hercules back ‘Who dares -’ Hercules begins as he looks around - before being knocked on the head by a familiar hammer. ‘ENOUGH!’ Thor booms as his hammer returns to his side. ‘Thor, what took you so long? ‘Amadeus asks. ‘Shut up’ Thor tells the child.
 ‘You too, Odinson?’ Hercules asks. Thor tells the Lion of Olympus that he stands with him, and that it was he who helped the boy bring him back to this world. ‘But if you would lead us, you must control yourself’ Thor tells him. ‘Fine!’ Hercules exclaims as he takes to the air. ‘Herc - wait!’ Amadeus calls out after him, but Hercules doesn’t respond.
Instead, Hercules flies around the world: ‘Heroes of Earth…open your eyes…and show me your colors!’ In Wakanda, Central Africa, the female Black Panther radios the Avengers, informing them that they have a desperate situation in Wakanda, that the populace has been seized by mass insanity. ‘Immediate assistance is requested!’ she exclaims. At Avengers Tower, Captain Steve Rogers tells the various assembled Avengers that they are receiving reports like this from all across the globe, including here in America. ‘As soon as people fall asleep…they go berserk’ he explains, before asking for solutions. ‘How do we stop this?’ he asks.
Doctor Voodoo announces that this stinks of Nightmare, the Lord of the Dream Dimension. He adds that the Eye of Agamotto does not sense Nightmare’s presence. ‘Perhaps this is the threat that creature calling himself Hercules was talking about?’ Doctor Voodoo suggests. Hawkeye stands next to Mockingbird and exclaims ‘Wait. So we’re depending on Hercules to save our hides now? Doesn’t that mean we’re all screwed?’
On Utopia, Archangel is discussing his former fellow Champion with Cyclops. ‘I’m not saying I don’t trust Herc, Scott…but that doesn’t mean he usually gets things right, if you know what I mean…’. At Atlas Foundation HQ, Venus tells Namora that Hercules is cute. ‘and about as smart as a cat. A very dumb cat’ Namora declares. At the Baxter Building, the Thing remarks to the Human Torch ‘You really wanna know what I think? If you wanna know what beer just went on sale at Costco, Herc’s your guy…but end-of-the-world-follow-me-into-battle stuff? Not so much’.
Hercules claps his hands together - and an instant later, in Central Park, various heroes appear, dazed and confused. Captain Rogers, Cyclops, Emma Frost, Namora, Wolverine, Quasar, Moon Knight, Captain America, Iron Man, Archangel, Spider-Man, Colossus, Valkyrie, Luke Cage and others all look around. Hercules, Thor, Amadeus and Delphyne then appear, as Hercules shouts: ‘You call yourselves heroes? Today you earn your name. Now listen that you may know our enemy…” he begins, before announcing that their enemy was named “Amatsu Mikaboshi” by the Japanese - Lord of Darkness and Chaos. ‘But he is far more than a mere god. Indeed, he was the whole universe before the beginning of everything…and he longs to return to that condition”.
Hercules informs the heroes that Mikaboshi destroyed Mount Olympus, striking down Father Zeus himself, before laying claim to the slave gods of the Skrulls, marching across creation, slaying alien pantheon after alien pantheon and adding to his armies. ‘His aim is nothing less than the destruction of all of reality, piece by piece, until he is once again the only thing in existence‘. Hercules explains. Archangel and Namora look at each other while Hercules exclaims that he has heard their laughter and their sneers, and doesn’t care. ‘For I know now far better than you ever will…what a fool I have always been! But hear me, friends. With these eyes now so wide open…I have chosen you. Because as infinitely strong as I have become…I need you’.
The heroes all stand and look at Hercules as he reminds them that he was sired by a god, but has walked among mortals these thousands of years, and knows that they were born to foolishly reach beyond all reason - to stand together in the impossible fight - and turn back apocalypse once and for all. ‘You write that for him?’ Delpyhne asks Amadeus. ‘Nah. That’s pure Herc. He split an infinitive and everything’ Amadeus replies. ‘Now, heroes -’ Hercules begins as a portal opens, and the heroes find themselves lifted from the ground. ‘Are we flying?’ Spider-Man asks. ‘Sure looks like it’ Wolverine mutters. ‘Good. So long as it’s not just me’ Spider-Man exclaims.
Hercules tells the heroes that he has granted them each a fraction of his power, so that they mare stare down oblivion and against its eternal no, shout “YES!” - and with that, Hercules leads Thor, Wolverine, Captain Rogers, Mockingbird, the Black Widow, Multiple Man, Wiccan, Venus, the Beast and the others towards the portal. ‘Through the portal, friends!’ Hercules exclaims, while Spider-Man asks him where they are going. ‘Nightmare’s realm! For there, I sense Chaos King’s first attack!’ Hercules replies. ‘Hence the nightmarish demons. Gotcha!’ Spider-Man exclaims as the heroes engage the demons in combat as they enter the portal. ‘And stay out!’ Spider-Man shouts as the demons begin to flee. ‘Huh. Look at ‘em go. That wasn’t so tough!’ the Thing remarks, to which Thor points out that the demons were not fighting. ‘They were running!’ he announces as a huge monstrosity approaches the heroes, a the large tentacled creature with a large gaping mouth full of sharp teeth - Nightmare‘s abode!
Hercules and Thor tear their way into Nightmare’s abode, while Hercules shouts ‘Do you hear our footfalls, Chaos King?’, and Thor adds ‘The champions of Earth come for you! Tremble at our -’ he stops himself as they enter the realm and find Nightmare’s body lying in a pool of blood. ‘Gone…’ Hercules whispers. ‘…and the Lord of Dreams slain…’ Thor adds. Hercules senses something and tells the heroes to beware. ‘Odin’s beard…what is this madness?’ Thor asks. ‘Who else but the Chaos King, brother Thor…he has claimed the powers of Nightmare…to destroy any mortal mind he touches!’ and with that, the heroes of Earth find themselves with tentacles latched to them, as they float motionless through space….

Return of the God Squad
A bolt of energy strikes the Olympus Group Building in New York City. An alarm screeches “Breach! Breach!”, while Hebe rushes towards where the energy has gathered, despite being told to take cover as they are under attack. ‘Don’t be silly!’ Hebe exclaims. ‘It’s just my husband - Mighty Hercules! Home at last!’ Hebe declares, adding that everyone thought he was dead. ‘Even me!’ she admits. ‘But I knew you’d return! Somehow -’ she begins, before a surge of energy keeps Hebe back from Hercules, who asks her to forgive him, as he explains that Amadeus brought him out of mother Hera’s inaccessible bubble universe by transforming him into a Skyfather. ‘I’m not in control of this vast new power yet - it’s not safe to get near me -’ Hercules tells her.
Hebe looks forlorn and replies ‘So…though…together…we are yet apart?’ Hercules replies ‘Aye. Though…hard as it may be to credit…it could be worse’, and an instant later, Hercules and Hebe are transported to Nightmare’s realm, where Amadeus holds Delphyne Gorgon in his arms, asking ‘Can you hear me?’, but Delphyne, along with the majority of other heroes, lie motionless on the ground. ‘By Zeus! Amadeus…Thor…what - what happened?’ Hebe asks. Thor stands over his fallen comrades and explains that the Chaos King slew the Lord of Dreams -Nightmare - and seized his power, with which he threw every mortal within reach into some kind of waking sleep. ‘Only those without mortal minds remained unaffected. Gods such as Hercules, Venus, you and me’.
Hebe turns to Amadeus: ‘And you?’ she asks him. Amadeus replies that he is no immortal, but that Athena chose him to be the Prince of Power. ‘I think that blessing shielded me’ he explains. ‘But not your beloved’ Hebe points out. ‘I’m so stupid. I should have seen this coming. Should have figured out how to protect everybody…’ Amadeus mutters, while Venus of the Agents of Atlas  who eventually became the goddess of Love steps forward and tells Amadeus to calm himself, pointing out that Hebe is the cupbearer of gods, so if an elixir exists that can revive these heroes, she is the one who will find it. Venus adds that her siren song heals and restores, so she will try, and begins to sing: “Get up, stand up…stand up for your…”.
Amadeus calls out to Hercules, reminding him that he arranged for him to have All-Father powers. ‘Why don’t you just snap your fingers or something and -’ he begins, but Hercules replies ‘If it were that simple, I would, boy. But I can’t even figure out how to embrace my wife. Would you have me practice on your Delphyne?’ Hercules tells Amadeus that they can let Venus and Hebe tend to the fallen, while they marshal their power for the battle to come.
The Chaos King’s power begins to spread to Earth. A passenger aircraft soars across a night-time sky, and the captain informs his passengers that they are approaching turbulence. He asks them to stay in their seats, before suddenly, the chaos enters the plane, and it begins to nose-dive towards the ground. ‘Nay…not this day!’ Thor booms as he attempts to take control of the situation - before noticing another plane nose-dive nearby.
The chaos hit’s the city below, causing civilians everywhere to collapse - cars crash as the drivers pass out, and a doctor performing surgery and the patient both fall victim as well. ‘Come on, Herc! Chaos King’s putting people all over the world into a sleep-coma!’ Amadeus shouts. ‘At least 32,451 people are about to die!’ he declares, adding that there is no more time. ‘You’re talking to the grandson of Cronus, Father Time himself, boy…I’ll make all the time I need!’ Hercules boasts, power charging around him.
And at that moment, the plane Thor has been guiding to the ground, as well as nearby planes, crashing cars and the doctor and patient in surgery all freeze. ‘Wait - frozen in mid-plummet…?’ Thor wonders. ‘…well done, old friend’ he exclaims a moment later. ‘Wow. You really are supergod’ Amadeus tells Hercules.
Meanwhile, down in Hades, the Domain of Pluto, Lord of the Dead. Pluto sits on his throne and watches Hercules’ triumph through a looking-fire. ‘Hercules, pagh!’ Pluto exclaims. ‘Millions were about to descend into my prisons. And you deny me my due, eh.? As you and your father ever have?’ Seated on a throne next to Pluto is Persephone, who tells Pluto to have patience. ‘All who ever lived will one day be yours’ she points out. ‘Of course, my Queen. But “one day” is small solace when “Right now” was so very close’ he declares.
Suddenly, there is a screeching noise, and a mighty KOOOM - as the Norse goddess Hela bursts into Pluto’s chamber. ‘HELA?’ Pluto booms. ‘How dare you show your pale Norse face in my domain?’ Pluto asks as he readies a bolt of energy. ‘Fool! I’m not here to fight you -’ Hela exclaims. ‘Only to warn you - the Chaos King sends his alien god-slaves to decimate the realms of the dead!’ Indeed, the demonic-looking slave-gods are tearing Pluto’s realm apart. ‘To arms, my minions! All you dead and damned who toil at my behest!’ Pluto calls out in urgency. ‘If you will fight for me, you are released! For though you surely hate this world…how much more would you hate nothingness itself?’
Pluto’s words resonate throughout Hades, where dead warriors are chained to a cliff. ‘You heard your uncle…’ a voice booms. ‘…now lead the charge, my son - for Father Zeus - and for existence itself!’ And with that, Ares leaps into battle, followed by Zeus and Hera, while Banshee, the Swordsman, the female Yellowjacket, Abomination and Iron Monger rally behind them. ‘Blessed heroes and damned villains of Earth! Pluto may have freed you…but Ares, God of War, commands you now!’ Ares booms. But as the gods and dead heroes and villains leap towards the battle, a voice exclaims ‘Brave words, foolish gods…but now, for the second time…’ Mikaboshi exclaims as he skewers Zeus. ‘…DIE BY CHAOS KING!’ Mikaboshi booms as he drops his monkey-like guise, revealing a black demon form underneath, while Zeus screams in agony.
‘FATHER!’ Ares shouts. ‘Father?’ Hercules utters as he senses what is happening to his father, causing him to lose his hold over the planes and cars, causing them to crash. ‘No, Hercules! You must not release time - Hercules!’ Thor exclaims as he can only watch as the planes go down around him. Soon, Thor descends to where Hercules and Amadeus stand amongst the devastated city below. ‘I - I couldn’t reach them in time…’ Thor utters. But Amadeus tells him not to sweat it, as the people remain in the waking sleep, horribly mangled and burned, and even blown into separate bits - but still alive, like a kind of mystic suspended animation. ‘Fatalities: zero. Compliance with laws of physics and biology: zero’ Amadeus’ computer states.
‘A little gross…but nice going, Herc’ Amadeus remarks. But Hercules replies that this wasn’t him. ‘I lost control’ he exclaims. ‘I thought I heard my father call out…’ he announces. Thor reminds Hercules that his father slumbers in Hades. This battle is yours…and mine. And we both will meet this test’ Thor declares, before asking the others to come with him, while they have this brief respite they need to rally the scattered gods and mount a true defense before - ‘Whoa, whoa - forget that!’ Amadeus exclaims. ‘We already have the most powerful god on the planet fighting for us. And with all due respect, we’re getting our asses kicked’.
‘If we go for help, we go straight for the big dogs’ Amadeus declares. ‘Way ahead of you’ Hercules smiles. ‘What? What are you…’ Thor asks, when suddenly a burst of energy brings forth a certain cosmic being, who booms ‘WHO DARES SUMMON ETERNITY?’ ‘That’s the omnipresent abstract entity that represents the totality of all living things -’ Amadeus whispers to Thor. ‘I know’ Thor replies. ‘Just checking. You didn’t seem like you -’ Amadeus begins, but Thor interrupts him: ‘I know’ he assures Amadeus. Eternity looks at Hercules: ’Little Hercules. You’ve grown’. Hercules replies that so have his enemies. ’The Chaos King’ Eternity declares. ’Aye’ Hercules exclaims. ’I cannot help you’ Eternity announces.
 ‘But…he wants to destroy all things’ Hercules replies. ‘Yes’ Eternity remarks. ‘You’ve helped fight that kind of threat before - when Thanos attacked!’ Hercules reminds the cosmic being. But Eternity replies that Thanos merely wanted to kill everything. ‘There’s a difference?’ Hercules asks. Eternity replies that the Chaos King is the darkness, and chaos that existed before existence itself. ‘He is an anti-god. The void against which I am defined. He and I walk hand in hand. If I fight him, I fight myself’ Eternity explains. ‘But if he wins, you yourself will disappear, along with everyone else!’ Hercules exclaims frantically. ‘Indeed. So I sincerely hope you defeat him’ Eternity smiles, before vanishing.
‘You understand any of that?’ Hercules asks. ‘No’ Thor replies. ‘I did. What he means is -’ Amadeus begins, but Hercules tells him to skip it. ‘Skipped. To heck with him - let’s go for Infinity. Or the Living Tribunal, or -’ Amadeus suggests. ‘No. I’ll cast my lot with allies I understand…’ Hercules begins as he uses his power to bring forth the first - ‘…like Sersi of the Eternals!’ Hercules exclaims, as the sultry inactive Avenger materializes before him. ‘I summon and enlist you in the fight for all things!’ Hercules exclaims. Sersi tells Hercules that she is flattered, but frankly confused.
Hercules takes Sersi’s hand and tells her that her powers of transmutation make her one of the most powerful of the Eternals, but even more important is the fact that she has spent more time than any of her people among the mortals of Earth. ‘Laughing at them, usually’ Sersi remarks. ‘And defending them’ Hercules reminds her. ‘We fought together as Avengers. I know the spirit you hide behind that jaded smile’. Sersi smiles at Hercules and tells him not to reveal all of her secrets. ‘Just tell me who else you’ve picked for this -’ she begins, before seeing Thor and Amadeus. ‘Of course’ she mutters, before asking where Athena is. ‘She has long been your guide’ Sersi remarks.
‘Until she tried to kill me. She fled upon my return’ Hercules explains. ‘But without her wisdom…’ Sersi begins. Hercules replies that Amadeus has more brains than Athena and Thor has all the heart that she lacks. ‘He’s saying you’re dumb’ Amadeus tells Thor. But Hercules explains that he is saying Thor cares - as so few gods truly do - and would give up his immortal life a thousand times over to save this mudball Earth when the time comes. Sersi tells Hercules that is all well and good, and she sees his reasoning, but points out that the new “God Squad” could use a little more power.
‘Ah. In that case…’ Hercules begins, as he once more casts his newfound power - and brings to Earth the Silver Surfer - and Galactus! ‘You gotta be kidding me’ Amadeus whispers as the massive Galactus stands before them. ‘Arrogant fools!’ the Silver Surfer booms. ‘Galactus was seconds from sating himself on an uninhabited nitrogen-rich planetoid in the Pleiades! But you teleport us here - to a world I’ve tried so hard to save so many times - against our will?’ As the Silver Surfer soars down towards the gods below him, Thor tells him to stay his hand. ‘We of the pantheons of Earth have brought your master here to face a threat even greater than -’ he begins, but the Silver Surfer casts energy down at Thor, shouting ‘There is no greater threat than Galactus!’
Thor tosses his hammer towards the Silver Surfer, asking ‘And you deem us arrogant, space farer? The Chaos King threatens Galactus’ entire food supply - all the planets - all the universes - reality itself!’ but the Silver Surfer replies that Galactus survived the destruction of the universe that preceded this one, and recognizes no threat save his own hunger! Thor’s hammer clangs against the Silver Surfer’s board, while Hercules approaches the Silver Surfer from behind, the Surfer announces that since Galactus was brought here, he will satisfy his hunger with this world. ‘Well maybe you can put in a good word for us - when you wake up!’ Hercules exclaims as he punches the Silver Surfer in the face, knocking him backwards.
The Silver Surfer lands several yards away - where Sersi is waiting for him. ‘Hey, Shiny: Nice power cosmic. Too bad no one else around these parts can wield - oh, wait - I forgot about me’ Sersi exclaims as she traps the Silver Surfer in a large hand made of rocks. But the Silver Surfer breaks free of the large hand made of rocks: ‘Step aside, godlings. Or I cannot vouch for your safety as I summon the massive energy needed to transport my master - I…I…’ Silver Surfer stutters as he sees someone before him: ‘Shalla Bal?’ he exclaims. ‘Uh…what?’ Sersi asks.
‘You’ve…returned to me? There are…so many things…I want to tell you…’ the Silver Surfer exclaims. ‘Ooookay…’ Sersi replies, when suddenly, Venus laughs: ‘Ha. How many times do I have to tell you people? All you need is love’, before thanking Amadeus for the heads-up. ‘No sweat, V.’ Amadeus replies, before asking Venus about Delphyne. ‘I tried, Amadeus. But she’s the same. They all are. I’m so sorry’ Venus replies. Hercules welcomes Venus to the team, before asking her if her enchantment will work on the Devourer of Worlds. Venus stares at Galactus and replies ‘I’m sorry…there’s nothing like a heart inside that thing’.
‘But you know he’s got a brain’ Amadeus points out. ‘And since he’s not assembling his planet-eating gadgets right now, as per his usual MO...maybe we can count him in the “silent minority”…?’ Suddenly, a voice booms ‘I pray you are correct, boy!’ - it is Daimon Hellstrom a.k.a. the Son of Satan. Hellstrom, bursts through the ground and announces that he has come from his father’s fiery, fallen domain - to tell them that the Chaos King is triumphant. ‘The Underworld is conquered…and Death herself has fled our realm!’ ‘Literally?’ Amadues asks. ‘Literally’ Daimon replies as he stands over a gaping fiery crevice.
‘Hence the not-dead people sleeping in the burning wreckage of planes. Okay, kinda working in our favor now. I’m assuming there’s a downside?’ Amadeus remarks. ‘Just a little thing called Hell on Earth!’ Hellstrom declares, adding that since the dawn of humanity dead souls have collected in the Netherworlds. ‘Generations upon generations…now awakened!’ At that moment, Ares, Zeus and Hera, accompanied by various demonic beings burst through to Earth - ‘And all in the thrall of the Chaos King!’

Untitled
Quidlivun, home of the Inua, the Northern Gods. Peace has been disturbed by the arrival of chaos - the diabolical Chaos King storms into paradise with his army of slave gods, and attack the Northern Gods. ‘You foul creatures dare defile our home?’ Narya a.k.a. Snowbird shouts as she dodges one of the slave gods who lunges at her. Nearby, Snowbird’s mother, Nelvanna, and another of the elder gods discuss the situation. ‘You know we cannot win. Save Narya, for she would sacrifice anything, including herself!’ the other god exclaims, adding that not all of them need die on this day. Nelvanna calls out to her beloved daughter and tells her that she must flee. ‘No, mother! Not without you!’ Snowbird exclaims.
But Nelvanna points out that, unlike Snowbird, she cannot travel between dimensions, and pushes Narya into a portal that opens. ‘The Chaos King may strike us down. But you will find a wa -’ Nelvanna begins - only for the Chaos King to come up behind her and shove his twisted form through her chest. ‘Gods and their egos. Your order is come undone. Falling to chaos!’ the Chaos King exclaims. Snowbird lands on the other side of the portal - ‘M - mother…no!’ she gasps as she reaches for the portal, which begins to close.
Elsewhere, ‘there is darkness on the march. As though the fabric that makes up the multitude of realms has torn asunder the and that gash has taken form. An abomination that stands outside life and death walks among us for the first time, for none of us where there when it was last seen. Beginning with the creators of worlds. The gods themselves’ a voice announces in a strange land where everything is white - the Shattered Lands. The voice continues, announcing that the darkness, the Chaos King, cannot be stopped, and that through his trickery, he has laid a trap - one that ensnares even the most powerful. ‘He has gained dominion over the Council of Godheads, and through the doorways of the Chamber of Gods, he has gained access to ever realm. He is destroying entire pantheons’ - so speaks Somon, the Great Artificer!
Flanked by Tundra, the Land Beast, Kolomaq, the Beast of the Snows, Kariooq, the Corruptor and Tolomaq, the Fire Beast, Somon declares that they, the Great Beasts and Gods of the Elder Night are the next to fall. Standing in the shadows, a figure exclaims. ‘Unless I help. Which I am assuming is the reason you summoned me here. But why would I help you?’ Somon replies that they do not stand a chance here in this realm, that only on Earth can they gain true dominion and the power to stop this. ‘Your connection to our brother Tanaraq allows you access to the portal that keeps us trapped here. If you lead us to Earth, our might will be great enough to kill this Chaos King’ Somon explains, before asking ‘Did you bring what we asked?’
‘It’s here’ the furred form of Dr Walter “Sasquatch” Langkowski exclaims as he holds out a small satchel. Somon declares that with the mystical power that it possesses, combined with Sasquatch’s own will, and their might, they can leave this plane for good. ‘And what makes you think I’d ever help you freaks?’ Sasquatch asks, clamping his hand shut. Somon explains that, given a short time on Earth, they will be restored to their fullest power, and declares that only they have the power to turn the tide on the Chaos King and end his reign. ‘But for that short time, we will be weakened. You and your allies have defeated us in the past. Your cunning and resources may be enough to hold the hordes at bay until we can rise up and defeat them. I believe you mortals have a saying…’ Somon explains.
“My enemy’s enemy is my friend” Sasquatch quotes, adding that he may be big and scary, but that he is only one guy. Monitors appear around the Great Beasts, depicting the fallen Northern Gods, as well as four familiar figures in a blur. Somon announces that Death has fled, and whatever hold she had on those that Sasquatch loves is not free. ‘My loved ones…you mean?’ Walter asks. Somon explains that, to aid Sasquatch those who have defeated the Great Beasts before will be summoned to his side, and that once they Great Beasts have achieved full power, those friends once lost to Sasquatch in death will be fully restored to the mortal plane.
‘When you’re done beating up this god-killer, what’s to stop you from taking over where the Chaos King left off?’ Sasquatch asks. Somon declares that the Great Beasts will make a sacred vow that they will not attempt to lay claim to Earth for one hundred years. Sasquatch looks thoughtful as he recalls that Alpha Flight defeated the Great Beasts before. ‘We will again, you know that, right?’ he asks Somon, who replies that it is an acceptable risk. ‘Do it’ Walter declares, and extends the mystic pouch once more, while Somon raises his staff overhead, and exclaims ‘Let the barriers be breached, and may eternal enemies set their sights on a common foe!’
At that moment, in Bon Accord, Alberta, Canada. Snowbird strides along the middle of a street, where cars have crashed into each other, and civilians lie motionless along the sidewalk. ‘Humans slumbering in their dreamless sleep while the gods they long ago forgot are falling, dying to protect them from the chaos of an endless nightmare. Useless to me!’ Narya exclaims, when suddenly, a familiar portal begins to open. ‘Mother?!’ Narya gasps, when suddenly, ‘Last I checked, no’ Jean-Paul “Northstar” Beaubier exclaims as he darts around his former teammate. ‘Although he has been called worse, Snowbird’ Northstar’s twin sister, Jeanne-Marie Beaubier a.k.a. Aurora jokes. ‘Northstar? Aurora! But…how is it you are awake? And here, in this place?’ Snowbird asks, perplexed.
Northstar replies that he was in San Francisco and awoke next to Kyle, who did not stir. ‘Next thing I knew, I was here, like a summoning’ Jean-Paul adds as he hovers next to Snowbird, adding that it is not difficult to cross a country in the blink of an eye, but as a rule, he does prefer to choose his destination’. Suddenly, the portal forms, and Sasquatch emerges from it, telling Jean-Paul that he is sorry, but that was his doing. ‘Walter?’ Jeanne-Marie exclaims. ‘In the fur’ Walt tells her.
‘Walter! This portal - you must tell me how you control it! My family is dying and this Earth is falling to a terrible darkness!’ Snowbird declares, adding that as a child of both worlds it is as though her very soul is being torn apart. ‘We must help!’ Snowbird exclaims. Sasquatch tells Narya not to worry, assuring her that he has got it covered as he motions to the portal. ‘If there’s one thing we’ve learned over the years, death isn’t always the end…especially when it comes to Alpha Flight!’
And from the portal step James “Mac” MacDonald Hudson a.ka. Guardian, his wife Heather “Vindicator” McNeil Hudson, Dr Michael “Shaman” Twoyoungmen and Marrina. Sasquatch puts his arms around Mac and Marrina, while Vindicator takes to the sky to hug Northstar, and Shaman and Snowbird embrace. ‘Feels good to be alive again. I remember facing a naked man?’ Mac remarks. Sasquatch announces that after Alpha Flight returned from space, reforming the team and setting everything right, they were attacked. ‘I survived, probably because of my connection to the Great Beast, Tanaraq’ he adds. ‘I swore I’d find a way to bring you back’.
‘And you did, cher Walter! This is…a miracle!’ Aurora exclaims as she flits into the arms of her ex-boyfriend, while Northstar asks ‘How have the rest of you survived?’ Shaman explains that they haven’t survived, at least not in the medical sense of the word. ‘Like my grandfather before me, the ways of the Sarcee Medicine Chiefs allowed me to keep our spirits from passing into the great home’. Shaman looks at his hands as he explains he had been able to rescue others upon their physical deaths, such as Marrina, some have been lost to them. ‘Puck!’ Sasquatch gasps. Shaman explains that he tried, but Puck slipped away to a place not even he dares to follow.
Northstar takes to the air as he asks ‘And what of the rest who have died? Why are all of our friends not standing with us? Were they not with you as well?’ Shaman hangs his head again and looks away as he replies ‘They were, until…the doors to the great home were ripped apart. It was as if every afterlife was fleeing from dark, slashing blades’. ‘The Chaos King!’ Snowbird exclaims. ‘Chaos King? I don’t remember any files on that name’ Heather, once more wearing her classic red and white costume and red visor, declares. Snowbird explains that the Chaos King is an ancient force of evil who predates Heather’s “files”. ‘Long has he laid in wait. From the time before the Gods. He has vanquished death and is now destroying all those who would bring life. He is killing the gods themselves!’
‘The Great Spirit? Narya, what’s happened to Nelvanna and Hodiak?’ Shaman asks. ‘Fallen at the hands of the Chaos King and his hordes of alien slave gods’ Narya replies. ‘Allowing me to survive was his last mistake!’ Snowbird declares, while the clouds overhead take the form of a large skull - which opens its mouth, and the slave gods descend upon Canada! ‘Alpha Flight, with me, for vengeance!’ Snowbird orders, taking flight, she transforms into a giant snow owl, while Mac and the twins take to the sky with her, despite Sasquatch shouting ‘Snowbird, no!’ and telling the others that Snowbird is not their target.
While Snowbird, Guardian, Aurora and Northstar engage the slave gods in battle, Heather asks Walter what it is that he has not told them while she, Sasquatch and Twoyoungmen watch the battle above. Shaman remarks that, for so long he struggled to get through to this world, but the barriers could not be breached. ‘I sense there is more than just the Chaos King’s hand in this’ he adds, while Heather tells Walter that he needs to let them in on everything, or else their reunion will be real short. ‘They said they could help us. If we helped them’ Walter replies.
Up above, Aurora deals with some creepy-crawly demons that land on her, while Guardian unleashes a blast of electromagnetic energy at the creature who has taken hold of Northstar. ‘Why do you watch? We need your strength, Walter! And Michael, you must -’ Narya calls down to the ground, before she is punched by a red-colored slave god. Narya lands in the snow, while Shaman informs her that their return is because of the Chaos King, but that it is not she whom the slave gods seek. ‘I swore I’d get you guys back. I made a deal’ Sasquatch announces. “Deal…?” Narya asks, wide-eyed. Shaman helps Snowbird to her feet as the heroes turn to another battle. ‘We have to protect the Great Beasts!’ Sasquatch announces as the Great Beasts begin battling the slave gods.
Snowbird tenses up and asks ‘How could this be? The Great Beasts walk the Earth? And I didn’t sense them?!’ Shaman tells Snowbird that he believes it is because the Great Beasts have not fully crossed over into this realm. ‘The same spell that brought us back seems to have masked them from even you’ he adds. ‘Now they sand revealed. Which means they shall die’ Snowbird exclaims as she prepares to take flight - only for Sasquatch to grab her, telling her that she cannot. ‘Are you possessed once more by Tanaraq? The purpose of my existence is to destroy them’ Snowbird declares. ‘If you do…’ Heather begins.
‘…our friends go back to whatever is left of their deaths’ Northstar concludes as he, Jeanne-Marie and Mac returns to their friends. ‘And the world is taken over by chaos’ Aurora adds. ‘Some deal, Walter. I should have known you would find a way to botch the occasion’ Northstar exclaims. ‘Look, Froggie -’ Sasquatch begins, but Shaman announces that either they help the Great Beasts grow to their full power, or they let the Chaos King’s forces destroy their world’s last remaining hope. Guardian remarks that it is easy, the Chaos King’s forces seem to be making ameal out of the Great Beasts. ‘We may not have to act’ he remarks.
Suddenly, ‘Sasquatch! We call on your vow! You must aid us!’ Somon booms while one of the slave gods wraps a tentacle around him. Snowbird grits her teeth as she tells her former teammates that if any one of them moves to help those creatures she shall not be accountable for the damage she will inflict on them. ‘It’s not that simple!’ Sasquatch exclaims. Snowbird turns to him and declares that it is the very definition of simplicity. ‘The Great Beasts should die. We let the Chaos King defeat them and Alpha Flight finds another way to stop his march of terror’ Narya declares. ‘If we do that, then the Flight dies as well’ Walter reminds her.
Shaman points out that they all seems to have upgraded powers thanks to the Beasts, they are not yet fully restored to this plane. ‘The deal Walter struck to break down the barrier -’ Shaman adds, to which Sasquatch announces that he is trying to save the planet and their friends. ‘All we need to do is hold off the Chaos King’s armies for twenty minutes, as once the Great Beasts are restored to their full power, then everyone will be back for good. ‘You fool! Once they are restored, they will stop at nothing to enslave us all. They are Gods of the Elder Night. Death is their true realm!’ Snowbird exclaims.
Sasquatch replies that the Great Beasts gave him their word that they are not going to try for one hundred years. ‘That gives us plenty of time -’ he begins, while Snowbird exclaims ‘Their word?! You take the foulest beings every created at their word?’ Aurora suggests that perhaps Walter is right, as Alpha Flight has beaten the Beasts before, so surely they can again. Aurora motions to a nearby street where civilians are rising from their slumber and exclaims that the Great Beasts are already defeating the Chaos King.
Northstar flies toward the civilians and tells his sister that he is sorry to disappoint her, but that whatever is happening to those people better not happen to the two of them - as the civilians begin transforming into Wendigo! They begin shouting ‘Wendigo!’ as they race towards the battle. ‘How has our world come to this, Michael?’ Snowbird asks as they watch the battle rage. ‘Your people created the Wendigo curse. With their loss, the magics they wove across this land are roaming free. The Beasts are manipulating that spell’ Shaman explains.
Guardian steps forward and remarks that Walter might be a lot of things, buyt he is no malicious, nor is he stupid. ‘His plan could work’ Mac adds. ‘We help these Wendigo kill off the Chaos King and then we turn on the Great Beasts’ Mac suggests. Heather asks if that would reverse the Wendigo curse on the civilians, to which Shaman replies that it is possible. Snowbird tells her friends that they cannot allow the Beasts the time. ‘We have beaten them before, but only because they were weakened. They grow stronger with every moment we spend debating this’ she adds.
Guardian takes to the an electromagnetic burst, telling the others that they cannot decide what the greater good is here, only the greater evil. ‘I’m sorry, Snowbird, but that answer’s clear, as your own family found out the hard way’ Mac tells Narya, adding that the Chaos King is destroying the Gods, so this may be their only chance, and they have to seize it. ‘Take him down!’ Guardian orders as he flies forward to the battle. Sasquatch and Shaman run along behind him, while Snowbird soars alongside him, Marrina moves forward in a water funnel, Vindicator flies up above them, her geothermal power causing lava blasts to raise the land, and the twins fly above them all, clasping their hands together causing a brilliant light.
‘You see, Jean-Paul? This is where we belong! Living and fighting alongside our friends, not among the X-Men!’ Aurora exclaims as she and Northstar take down several slave gods with a series of speedy punches. ‘I’d say chances of dying on either team are about equal’ Jean-Paul replies, before telling Aurora to focus. Heather unleashes a lava burst upon a large dragon-like slave god, and remarks ‘Mac, Walter means well, but this…’ her voice trails off, while Mac exclaims ‘Heather, we’re alive! We have to focus on that. For ourselves, and for our daughter!’ He punches a slave god, adding that they will figure out the rest as soon as they win here.
Nearby, Sasquatch throws slave gods over his head, while Marrina, her physical form slightly transformed, splashes about in a wave of water as she washes her opponents away. Snowbird swoops to the ground, shifting her form into a mighty polar bear, she lands on one of the slave gods, while Shaman wields a scythe as he battles a slave god near Somon, who declares ‘The last child of the gods fights for our survival. Surely these are events even the Chaos King could never predict!’ Shaman warns Somon that he would be wise to keep his own counsel and pray that Snowbird does not hear him. ‘You are strong, but we can still defeat you’ Twoyoungmen declares. ‘And I can send you back to the abyss, Medicine Man’ Somon boasts.
Snowbird, in her polar bear form, grabs one of the slave gods and throws him over herself, while several slave gods leap towards Kariooq. ‘My touch isn’t working! There is nothing in them to corrupt!’ he shouts, before calling ‘Help me!’ Snowbird sees the Great Beast tumble backwards - and a sword-wielding slave god begin to stab the Great Beast over and over. Narya watches from a distance, before returning to her default form and taking to the air.
Somon stands over a group of the civilians turned into Wendigo and shouts ‘Yes, children of Beasts! Feed on the flesh of Gods!’ Narya lands near Shaman. ‘Michael…’ she begins. ‘I know. We’ve become monsters. Pawns of the Beasts, like these poor creatures’ Shaman replies as he watches several Wendigo eat a defeated slave god. ‘We can’t allow this to continue’ Narya exclaims, to which Northstar agrees: ‘She’s right. When you align yourself with monsters, you become one yourself’ Jean-Paul declares, adding that it is a lesson he doesn’t care to learn again.
‘Snowbird, do you honestly believe there is another way?’ Vindicator asks. Narya replies that there are other gods here on Earth. ‘We can find them, join with them to defeat the Chaos King’ she announces. ‘We need nothing from the Beasts!’ Snowbird declares. ‘Except our own link to this world’ Shaman points out. Heather hangs her head, before looking at her friends and asking ‘What’s life without a little sacrifice?’ She soars past several Wendigo eating a slave god, and shouts ‘Alpha Flight! Retreat!’ This gets the attention of the others - ‘Retreat?’ Mac asks, surprised. ‘But we are winning?’ Aurora exclaims. ‘Yesssss….’ Marrina utters, her form even more transformed into an alien fish-like state. ‘Heather?’ Sasquatch asks.
The heroes regroup, while Shaman casts magic force fields around the Wendigo. ‘Enough. These are not decisions to be made by mortals’ Shaman exclaims, adding that they have to let gods fend for themselves. ‘NOOOO!’ Sasquatch shouts, as he, Marrina, Guardian and Aurora move to battle Snowbird, Vindicator, Shaman and Northstar. Heather tells Marrina that she is sorry, she really is, but that they have to go back. ‘Look at you, you’re becoming the monster that led to your death the longer we stay’ Heather points out, while keeping Marrina at bay with a blast of geothermal heat, which heats up the snow around Marrina.
Northstar begins punching Guardian, speeding around him at a rapid rate as he declares that Heather was always the better leader. ‘Michael, this is our only chance to be united again!’ Aurora exclaims while blocking herself from a barrage of icicles that Shaman sends her way, telling her that he is sorry, but that deep ion her heart, she must know that this is wrong ‘You can’t rob me of this, Snowbird!’ Sasquatch shouts, to which Snowbird replies ‘You think I haven’t grieved, Walter? To know that I’ll have no friends and be orphaned after this causes me more pain than you will know’.
With the Wendigo still captured in Shaman’s force field, Shaman rushes towards the Great Beasts. Snowbird flies alongside him, while Northstar blinds Sasquatch with a burst of light, and Vindicator causes lava to explode around him, keeping him at bay. ‘The Chaos King might have banished the afterlife, but I’ll not allow the Great Beasts to make Hell on Earth!’ Shaman declares.
Standing on his podium, Somon exclaims ‘Thank you, godling. The moment of our domination is near, sealing your place on this Earth, and we its saviors!’ But Snowbird tells Somon that the Great Beasts are only bringers of destruction and lies. Shaman exclaims that it was through the magics of the Inua, the fallen Northern Gods that barred the Great Beasts from this world before. ‘As long as one still stands, your hold on this realm will not go unchallenged!’ Shaman declares.
A small orb of energy begins to shine in Snowbird’s hands, before Narya shouts ‘And I still stand!’ as she unleashes the energy, causing the slave gods to be knocked backwards with a blast of icy wind, and the Great Beasts are encased in frozen ice. ‘Noooooo!’ Somon exclaims, when suddenly, the Chaos King appears! ‘Yes, scream, Great Beast, scream. Run from realm to realm and hide. Death always follows!’ the Chaos King declares as he skewers the Great Beasts.
Alpha Flight watch from the snow-covered ground nearby. ‘It is finished’ Shaman exclaims, while the Wenigo begin to revert to their human form. ‘No! See what you’ve done? This means…’ Aurora begins. ‘It’s time to say goodbye’ Northstar adds. Sasquatch marches towards the others, while Heather follows, and Mac carries Marrina.  ‘You’re just going to let yourselves die again?’ Sasquatch asks. Shaman replies that he can hold their spirits in a state just beyond this life. ‘The Great Beasts were not the only ones who could hold the power to restore us. You must find the right way, the best way’ Shaman adds.
Vindicator and Sasquatch clasp hands as Heather asks ‘Walter, my baby?’ Frowning, Sasquatch replies that she is safe with family. ‘Keep her that way. Until we get back’ Heather asks. Moments later, a green glow surrounds Shaman, Marrina, Heather and Mac. Marrina hugs herself, while Guardian wraps his arms around Heather. Shaman tells the others that they must defeat the Chaos King and restore the Spirit Realms. ‘Snowbird, Sasquatch, twins, be strong’ Michael adds, before a blinding light seemingly engulfs them.
But an instant later, ‘How -?’ Marrina asks, as the four of them find themselves standing in the same place. ‘This doesn’t look like death to me’ Mac adds. ‘Michael?’ Snowbird asks. Shaman replies that the link - the great home - has vanished. ‘Death itself is…inaccessible!’ he declares. ‘But the Great Beasts told Walter -’ Heather begins, to which Snowbird quickly exclaims that the Beasts lied. ‘When will you learn that? They had no access to our friends, without Death, Shaman and the rest were left with nowhere to go’ Narya explains.
‘So they were already alive? But how did they come to this place?’ Aurora asks. ‘The same way we did - the Great Beasts summoned them’ Northstar suggests. ‘Does this mean we cannot die?’ Marrina asks, looking at her hands. Shaman explains that, with Death lost to them, they walk the Earth once more, thanks to the actions of the Chaos King. ‘Once he is defeated and Death is restored, however…’ Shaman’s voice trails off.
‘ We have to risk it’ Sasquatch exclaims. ‘It may mean losing you all again, but like Heather said, sacrifices have to be made. The Great Beasts used me, but they brought us all here for a reason’. Walter adds that they are best when they are together. ‘We can take down the Great Beasts, which means we have a chance against the Chaos King. They feared us, that’s why they needed us to protect them. If we can join with the God Squad to help the fight…it’s the Chaos King’s turn to fear us!’ Sasquatch exclaims, while the rest of his former teammates stand together, defiantly.
An instant later, the heroes of Canada make their way across the snow-covered land. Guardian! Vindicator! Snowbird! Sasquatch! Northstar! Aurora! Shaman! Marrina! ‘Live or die, we do it together. As ALPHA FLIGHT!’
