"Since you want to know, I'll tell you everything, my queen." The white haired man stood up and walked close to Nat.
"My father, during one of his adventures, accidentally time traveled to the future, and in that future, he saw destruction and death on a universal scale, something that gave him nightmares until the day he died. I remember the look on his face, when he returned from the journey.
And everything was linked to the Mad Titan, as my father liked to call him. Upon returning to the present, my father and the elders of the dark elf tribe deduced a plan. A plan where he would save several planets of his choosing, and open a breach to a different universe with the help of the Space Infinity stone in order to escape the destruction of the universe. "
He spoke as Nat and the others listened carefully. "However, on the day the planetary shrinking machine as I like to call it was created, my father and several elders of the dark elf tribe were captured, tortured and killed by the mad titan himself." He said, as he gave a painful smile.
"He speaks the truth, before my father went into the deep sleep, he commanded the doors of Asgard to be closed, because a tragedy had befallen the dark elf tribe." Thor chipped in, as the Avengers, including Fury who had now joined nodded.
"With my father's lifelong dream unfulfilled, I decided to take up his mantle, and complete the mission, I plan of saving countless planets from this doomed universe and escape to a different universe, away from the grasp of the mad titan." He said with a fanatic expression.
"Running isn't the option. We can unite and fight him." Nat spoke, as he let out a deranged laughter. "You want me to team up with a bunch of midgardians who can't even set aside personal vendetta to fight a common enemy?" He smirked with a disgusted expression.
"Ouch. That hit a sore spot. Didn't it people?" Stark said with a small smirk, as Clint and the others glared at him. "What? He's kinda right, you know." Tony argues in defense.
"If the All Father was in his prime and wasn't such a sleepy head and if all the other gods hadn't been hunted down and killed by that lunatic with the necro sword, this universe would've stood a chance against him." He sighed and continued. "Unfortunately, things don't go the way we want them to go sometimes, now do they?" He smiled and sat.
"So what? You're just going to capture and enslave the earth after getting the Space stone?" Nat asked with a frown.
"Hahaha! I was going to do just that, until I discovered that the avatar of the Speed Force was a mere earthling. When he returns from his little dimensional escapade, I'm going to rip out the core of the Speed Force from within his body by myself and fulfill my life long dream!!" He laughed with a mad and deranged expression, before walking back into his suit which closed itself around his figure, as the lights on the suit shined once again.
"If you dare lay a finger on him. I'll kill you myself!!" Nat roared out with a murderous expression, as the robotic suit neared her and she stared straight into its eyes.
"Unfortunately for you, you're just destined to be my slave, a tool for relieving my urges!" The robot spoke in a hoarse voice, as he grabbed her by the throat, but after speaking, he dropped her and zoomed off into the distance.
"Guys. Look this would sound crazy, but I have a way to stop Ultron and Saviturd!" Stark said as he looked at the others.
"How?" "It's Savitar." The others asked, as Thor corrected him. "Thank you Thor." Stark rolled his eyes, and pointed to the metal coffin before him. "No way!" "This is too dangerous!!" They all roared out in non agreement, with Cap's voice in the lead. "What do you mean no?" Stark frowned. "We can download Jarvis into this body, and have him take care of Ultron, while we take care of the machine Ultron's building and Speedy junior here takes care of Saviturd." Stark replied.
"I can't beat him. He's too fast for me." The new members of the Avengers, Pietro and Wanda Maximoff who were once on Ultron's side had left to join the Avengers, after learning of his plan to turn the earth into Cybertron 2.0.
"My brother is right. Savitar is too fast. If we tried to fight him, we would be dead in a few seconds." Wanda, the red haired girl added.

...Earth 616.....Wakanda...
"Duke. I'm done." Duke who was completely relaxed on a couch after having some snacks was instantly called by Shuri, as he instantly appeared in her lab.
"Here put this on." He handed him a device that had a round main frame filled with dark red viscous liquid, and two rectangular handles. "And how should I use it?" He smiled and asked. "Just put in on your chest. "It has magnetic properties and can latch unto your shield. " She said, as he placed it on his chest, allowing the round frame to latch unto the thunderbolt symbol on his chest.
"Whooo. Yeah I feel that." He breathed out excitedly as he stretched his legs. "This tachyon device is designed to siphon the dark matter within your body to stimulate your cells to move even faster." She smiled and said.
"My Princess you have to see this." Suddenly, one of the guards burst into the lab in a rush, holding unto a small tablet.
Shuri instantly took the tablet from her and tapped on it, as a holographic image materialized. "Shit!" Duke cursed out, as he saw what was currently being shown; the current state of New York City and how the once glorious city had turned into a wasteland overnight.
"I gotta go." Duke turned around and walked out of the lab in a rush. "Wait. Take me with you. I can help." Shuri followed behind him.
"I'm sorry Princess. I can't take you with me." Duke shook his head. From what he had seen in the hologram, things had escalated to the point where even he didn't know if he could protect himself. His motive for going there now was to go save Dr. Hank and his daughter, and take them back to his earth with him. That was the plan, at least for now.
"Be safe." She sighed and took a step back, the moment they got out of the palace. Duke nodded and tapped the side of his neck, as his cowl appeared. Getting into a stance, streaks of lightning flashed within his eyes.
"Boom!" He blasted off at full speed, leaving a massive crater and jolts of lightning bolts in his wake.

Back in New York, the entire city looked like it had just experienced a massive and devastating earthquake. Almost all the buildings were collapsed, massive craters had formed all around and the most disgusting thing was the disembodied flesh that had been scattered across the battlefield along with pools of blood.
A figure in a blue suit was embedded in a building, his eyes lifeless, and pulse non existent. A blue shield had completely slashed through his body, separating his torso and head from his lower body, painting a gory and brutal scene.
On another side of the battlefield, an iron suit was completely cramped like a piece of paper, along with the human figure inside, as blood blood dripped out of the holes of the suit.
In another gory scene, the skin of a figure was completely destroyed leaving a completely melted metal skeleton that flowed like mercury. Beside him was a figure in a spider suit who had been strangled to death by a string of spider webs.
A few meters away from them was a completely mummified figure whose upper body had been embedded in the ground leaving its legs dangling above the surface of the ground. Beside it was an amulet, and inside that amulet was a small green gem.
In another gruesome scene, a figure in a black suit had the entirety of his face ripped apart, and multiple iron rods plunged into its throat as the figure knelt on the ground, and blood flowed. A few meters away was a woman in a green and yellow suit whose decapitated head was lying a few meters away from a wriggling body.
.
The battle against the Phoenix had led to death on a large scale, as multiple heroes had given their very lives tying to take her down but to no avail.
Only a few figures were currently alive, even after several heroes such as the surviving members of the X Men who hadn't lost their powers after M Day.
"Jean!! Take a hold of yourself!!!! Don't let the power control you!!!" A bald middle aged man in a ragged three piece was lying on the ground with a bloodied face as he crawled towards Jean who was currently levitating in the sky. Even though she seems to have won the fight, she wasn't completely unscathed, as the left side of her face was completely destroyed, although it was healing slowly.
"Dad. No!" Beside the bald man was another middle aged man who was currently seated with his back against a rock, his expression pale, and the left side of his completely torn apart. He stared at the young girl crying before him as he raised his hand to wipe her tears. "Don't ....worry...he'll....be ....here soon." He spoke his last words before he breathed his last and his eyes turned lifeless.
.
"Hahahaha! You filthy old man! All this started because of you!! I hate you with all of my heart Charles, I hate you!!!" Jean roared out as she descended and walked to the bald headed man who was crawling towards her, as she screamed in agony.
With tear filled eyes, she stretched forth her hand, as the old man began to levitate into the sky. "Your death marks my complete freedom." She roared out, as she clenched her fist. Instantly, veins began to appear on the man's bald head, as it began to swell.
"I only....wanted you...to be ...free...I didn't mean....for this....to happen!" The man tried his very best to communicate even with the extreme agony he felt from his brain being overloaded with immense Psionic energy. His ears, mouth and nose bled, and in the next second, his head exploded sending chucks of flesh and blood spraying everywhere, as his body plopped to the ground lifelessly.
Jean dried her tears as she glared at Hope who was still mourning her father's death and extended her hand towards her. Suddenly, the young girl felt herself being being lifted into the sky by a Psionic Force as she closed her eyes.
"Boom!!!" However after a few seconds, she heard a loud boom in the distance and in the next second, she saw a massive lightning bolt smash into Jeans body as she disappeared in a split second.
