Carol's POV:
It has been over two years since Nick's death.
He should have called me before something happened that he couldn't handle, but he waited till the last moment and then died!
When I arrived in New York that day, I found my pager in a destroyed Central Park.
It was lying on the burned ground next to a pool of blood...
Seeing a warship flying in the air, I flew up to it to find some answers.
But I found only people who lost a battle and the corpse of Nick.
Tony Stark told me everything that happened and afterward, I decided to search for the red eyed freak or the bald monk.
But for two years, nothing.
One day when I returned back to Earth, I flew over Europa and caught some messages from Stark and other Avengers through my earpiece.
Tony gave me one after I visited Earth last time.
Landing there, I found him standing with a device in front of a destroyed restaurant.
He noticed me and walked towards me.
"Hello, Top Gun. Are you on patrol again?"
"Top Gun? Stop with the nickname Iron Head and tell me, what are you guys doing here in some run-down country?"
Tony smiled and said, "Destroying bad organizations and following some leads."
My ears perked up.
"Which leads? Are you talking about Blake?"
"You got it. He was spotted here.
If we believe the witnesses, some energy explosion happened and destroyed this place, then a man with red glowing eyes took away the woman he was with.
But before he left, sparks flew out of him and destroyed all electric devices." said Tony while pointing at the restaurant.
"Could you find out where he is now?"
"Not yet, but I will soon, with this device. It can track abnormal energy activities which led us here too."
He shows me a device that looks like a phone.
He then walks around with it and starts scanning things until he hears a summing sound.
"Yes! It has collected enough energy fragments to lead us directly to him. I only need to sync it with Jarvis and... hey!"
Before he could say more, I grabbed the device and flew away.
A satellite photo showed this device's position and a red moving object that was the target on it.
With my power, I was able to get there in seconds and found a moving train with a man with glowing red eyes standing on the roof.
"Finally, I found you! Now you will pay for what you did!"
I sensed something crawling up into my head, but I flared up my energy and it vanished.
Was it the hypnosis Tony told me about? Too bad that something like this won't work on me anymore.
I know how it feels to be brainwashed. That will not happen to me again!
Charging up my photon blast, I tried to shoot him with it and his eyes grew wide for a second when he saw it.
But then he collected himself and electricity erupted out of his body.
Appearing before me, he grabbed my wrist, spun me around and sent me flying.
Before hitting the ground, I turn around and hit him with the photon blast.
He blocked this by creating a blue shield, but the recoil still sent him crashing down.
When I saw him stand up after the crash, I dashed forward to bring this to an end.
While seeing me coming at him, he spits fire attacks on me, but they did not affect me.
I hit him full speed and sent him crashing down again.
Seeing he is not moving, I walk closer and simultaneously charge up a photon blast.
"This is something you caused yourself."
It started to rain as if the sky was upset about what would happen next.
However, I didn't care about crying skies and fired my blast at him, causing a small explosion.
"Wow, that was really merciless."
Hearing the voice, I turned around and saw him standing there without a scratch.
Looking at the corpse on the ground, it started to morph into several ravens and flew towards Blake, surrounding him and changing his clothes.
He was now wearing a tactical vest over his sweatshirt and fingerless gloves.
"Nice trick, but changing your clothes will not help you."
I dash forward again, but before I can hit him again, he dissolves into several ravens and as they gather together, he appears just a few feet behind me.
"Could you please stop attacking me and listen to what I had to say?
You would understand what happened in New York then. It was the...!"
Not wanting to listen to another word, I enveloped myself in more energy and dashed forward.
"Listen! It was a Mind Stone accident. You know about the infinity stones, right?" he asked while avoiding my hits and blasts.
I channeled even more energy and flew at an enormous speed toward him and managed to hit him, but he scattered in a swarm of ravens again.
I hate this ability!
But in the next moment, I could feel something sharp on my throat.
It was a blue sword.
Following it, I could see Blake standing at my side while holding it at my throat.
"It's enough! There is no need for us to kill each other. Hear me out!"
But I grabbed his sword and shattered it, then flew up into the sky where I had the upper hand.
"This ends now!" I channel all my energy into a powerful photon blast. There were no people nearby and the explosion should be enough to bring him down.
Standing on the ground, he only stared at me.
But in the next seconds, his eyes started to change and the black commas in his eyes began to rotate.
But there was nothing that could save him now!
I shot the blast out and a massive explosion erupted and destroyed everything on the ground.
Seeing only dust everywhere, I was sure it was finally over.
But then a voice came out of the dust.
"Fine, if you don't want to listen, let's do it your way."
Looking down, I could see Blake standing there unhurt.
However, surrounding him was something like a light blue giant skeleton and a white aura that was swirling around like flames.
The skeleton stared at me with white glowing eyes before retracting back and leaving only a rip cage and the aura behind that was around Blake.
I was shocked for a moment but then calmed down and tried to attack him again.
The only problem was that I couldn't move.
"Your body is overflowing with energy, which makes me your worst opponent." he said while his right eye began to bleed.
Then he looked at his right hand and electricity started to go wild in it.
After a while, it started to change from blue to blinding white color and then he raised his hand in the air sending a white spark into the clouds.
"It's game over now." he said.
And when I looked up, I saw white lightning jumping around the clouds at an insane speed.
Trying to break out of his hold, I flared up as much energy as possible.
However, the only thing I could feel was my energy being sucked out of me.
Then everything around me turned white as the lightning hit my position.

David's POV:
She is totally crazy!
First, she tried to attack me while I was standing on the train, even when people were inside and then she shot a nuclear bomb at me.
I used my bunshins and ravens to keep her in check and tried to talk to her, but she didn't listen.
And after she charged up her nuclear bomb, I needed to active my Mangekyou to save myself.
At first, I thought I absorbed her blast or bent it to my will, but something blocked me when I tried it.
Instead of my other eye powers, a white aura enveloped me.
In it, a light blue, nearly white rip cage started to form and grew even some arms and a complete skeletal body afterward.
I could feel that by using chakra, it would grow more and take its true form.
But my body started to scream in pain when I tried, so I stopped it at the skeletal form when the nuclear attack hit me.
After surviving her blast, I used my instant kill attack and brought her down.
Seeing her lying in a large crater, still breathing, I deactivated the Susanoo and walked closer to her.
She was looking really hurt.
Most of her outfit was gone and burned skin could be seen.
I needed to use every Mangekyou ability and my Raiton chakra to bring her to this state.
Knowing how Sasuke created his Kirin, I shot at the beginning of the fight some flames up in the sky and they formed clouds that caused a rain storm.
I knew that regular lightning wouldn't do anything to her, so I used my right eye to move the Raiton chakra even faster in my hand to create an even more potent version of the lightning... let's call it simply white lightning or something like that.
After shooting a part of it into the sky, I enlarged it by letting it jump from one cloud to another.
In the end, I shot it down from the clouds while absorbing some chakra from Carol to stop her from somehow breaking out of my bind and simultaneously weaken the white lightning to keep her alive.
Seeing that she started to recover, I bent down and absorbed her chakra, which recovered my own and made me feel much better after using too much chakra in the battle.
It was strange that I could absorb Tamat's chakra without it changing when it got into my body, but her unique form of chakra or energy transformed into my own chakra when I absorbed it through my left eye.
Leaving enough energy for her to survive, I stood up and deactivated my Mangekyou Sharingan and stopping so my eyes from bleeding.
The next moment my vision became blurry and I got a horrible headache again.
After a few minutes, my vision returned to me and my headache disappeared.
"Fuck! I need to be careful, or I will need glasses soon."
I complained to no one in particular and dashed away from her towards the hopefully still-moving train.
Hi guys :)
