Also! This is a 4000 word chapter... So I hope you all are happy!
---
Fire and chaos spread throughout the field as the undead form of Wanda Maximoff stepped out into reality, followed by all of the heroes and beings that Doom had swept away with the infinity stones.
The crack in reality stretched wider as more and more people stepped out. And ragged and torn version of Daredevil stepped out in an ambling heap as the Tony Stark of this universe, in his full nanite Iron Man suit, roared out in a mix of mechanical screeching and guttural growls. The alive Tony gulped deeply as he activated the full suite of weapons within his Metallic Hydrogen suit.
This universe's Thor and Odin stepped out next, their forms glowing in a crimson-black that oddly seemed to mimic their former powers but were tainted by the powers of Death. The two Asgardian powerhouses were far less 'rotten' than their Midgardian counterparts but still had the milky dead eyes of the dead. Loki watched them appear with dread and agony written across his expression, his heart tearing in two as he watched his family be forcefully annihilated by Death herself. Hela was fared no better than her brother as tears leaked from her eyes and her connection with the domain of Death slowly burnt to embers.
Bruce Banner, Natasha Romanov, Clint Barton, Nick Fury, Coulson and Sky all stepped out of the expanding portal. All of their forms were the most rotten with some bones poking out from beneath sloughing flesh. Captain Marvel emerged beside them, her form the same. Then came every single member of the X-Men, including Rogue, who all slowly tripped forwards or, in the case of Xavier, crawled forwards.
I watched all of this as my fighter quickly landed upon the plain. Jedi fighters were designed to travel vast speeds at the drop of a hat and could easily get me from Paris to Latveria in less than 5 minutes.
Drecarios Frost- I am going to create a Stargate and you will all evacuate... I will stay behind and get as many people through as I can.
I ignored the responses in the chat and quickly mumbled under my breath towards Heimdal. "Heimdal, I need you to pull all of Asgard's forces away from the battlefield and call for an immediate evacuation of Asgard proper. I have a planet that you can stay upon unopposed, but you can't stay here."
No response was given to me except for the distant blasts of rainbow light that yanked thousands of soldiers from the streets of Latveria's capital, including Loki and Hela. Gritting my teeth as the cockpit opened I leapt out, feeling my limbs crackle at the rough movements.
The entire chat room, barring Harry, Sirius and Shiroe were arrayed through the field. Samantha had apparently gone with Loki's forces during the war and had come down to the field in hopes of at least providing a distraction to Doom... Now she was standing right next to Tony who was gearing up towards fighting his way through the oncoming force.
Just as I was about to stop Tony, the undead Wanda lifted her revolting rotten hand in the direction of Vermithor, a red light suddenly pulling upon the edges of the beast's corpse before its massive draconic eyes snapped open and an eerie milk colour replaced the bright green that had once been one of the dragon's defining features.
"Rrrr-iiii-ssss-eeee..." Undead Wanda stated as the red punctured into the corpse and the dragon slowly lumbered upwards from its dead slump.
"Nope!" Tony shouted out whilst turning towards me, his eyes screaming his disgust and displeasure at what was happening. I agreed with him entirely. This was too much for even me to handle and the fact that if we die they can just turn us on each other was way too much of a threat.
More rainbow light smacked into the city and in the far distance as the Bifrost worked at an accelerated pace trying to save as many living people as it could. With my senses I could feel Human and Asgardian life disappear at the same rate... The guardian of Asgard wasn't differentiating.
"Apollo, Hermes, Artemis, Hestia... Assemble all of our forces and combat the undead. Once you have done that, transfer your consciousness to my computer instantly." The buzz of agreement surged in the back of my head as I felt Apollo take direct command over the carriers and robots around Latveria, sending them in a massive hoard towards the origin of the breach.
I turned towards Gandalf and Luke, the latter looking horrified at what he had caused. "Both of you need to go back to Asgard and ensure that the evacuation is handled properly." Waving my hand I created a Stargate and fed some of the red liquid into my creation of it, the event horizon immediately surging forth and breaking upon itself.
Gandalf hastily nodded solemnly before stepping backwards into the Stargate, his eyes never leaving those of Wanda as she unblinkingly widened the tear in reality. Luke looked as if he were about to refuse so I simply force pushed him through and then pulled Mara across the ground and threw her through the Stargate.
Unfortunately this act drew the attention of the undead Vermithor, the dragon's sickeningly fresh corpse rattling as it simply hissed and fire launched towards me. In an instant I pulled on all of the energy inside the fire and smothered it, using it in a directed blast at Wanda, who was still focussing on expanding the gaping wound in reality.
A cloud of red surrounded her in but a nano-second as the force wave slid around her and launched Wolverine off into the distance, his body stuck in a permanent dead but alive state due to his regeneration factor.
Apollo didn't take the dragon's attack well however and responded with excruciating force. The Hyperion buzzed for several seconds until the enormous plasma cannon on the keel of the ship roared with energy and unleashed multiple shots of plasma lightning straight at the dragon. The result of said attack was the wave of cooking flesh that soon hit every nose in the plain and then the crackle of heat across the skin as a wave of cooked air bloomed outwards.
Once the plasma cleared from the atmosphere and the light was shed into the distance in a continual flash wave, the incinerated ash of Vermithor softly drifted onto the winds' currents. Aegon cried at the remains of his mount before Ciri knocked him out with a punch and dragged him through the Stargate.
"You better be right behind us Elsa!" Ciri shouted out to me as she was transported to Asgard.
"We can help you hold them off." Caduceus Clay commented calmly as his staff lightly tapped the upturned soil of the plain.
Shaking my head I simply looked towards the Mighty Nein, "No, you can't stop them or hold them back. Wanda up there-" I pointed at the Chaos Sorceress, "can manipulate reality and kill magic users easily."
"B-but, that means we have to leave you behind!?" Jester cried out in frustration and nervousness.
"Yes. But as it currently stands, I'm more likely to be capable of surviving any conflict that may happen." I calmly said as Caleb grabbed Jester's shoulder and shook his head.
Beauregard gave me a firm, respectful, nod. "Yah better not die, hear me? I just started to accept your snootiness..." Rolling my eyes I shot her a small smirk before I felt another plasma shot strike out towards Xavier who was half way towards me already. The body was incinerated in moments before Vermithor stepped back out of the largening portal; which was now the size of several busses put end to end.
With a wave of my right hand the entire Mighty Nein were thrown through the Stargate, Jester's harrowed screams filling my mind before they disappeared beyond the event horizon. Samantha was rushing towards me with her P90 in hand but I simply glanced towards her and flexed my left hand, sending her to the ground and rolling into the Stargate. She couldn't be allowed to fight in this arena, especially considering her lack of powers.
Asgardian barges now started to fall from the sky as their crews were swept away into the Bifrost. The rainbow light soon disappeared far into the distance as more and more lives were being saved from the eventual slaughter.
Speaking of the oncoming slaughter, the undead were just eerily standing there as more heroes, soldiers, police, firefighters and other already dead figures stepped out. All of them were staring at me now, their milky-white irises latching onto my figure. It was as if they were just defending the opening from any interference.
`Father... Artemis, Hestia and Hermes have gone back...` Apollo spoke within my mind.
'Good... Order all remaining forces to fight to their last against the undead. If Death wants an entire universe, I'm going to make her use as much power as I can. Speaking of that...' I stopped mentally speaking and reached out with my powers towards the breach.
Chaos energy was piercing into some sort of mesh that I couldn't fully sense but at the same time felt. Grimacing at the disturbing duality I pulled upon the chaos energy and simply started creating thousands upon thousands of droids around me. This immediately drew the attention of Undead Wanda as her head snapped a full 180 degrees to face me.
"DDDDD-IIIIIIIIII-EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" She screeched out as the undead forces immediately charged my expanding army; the energy I was syphoning off being no where close to the amount needed to stop the expansion of the tear.
Railguns whirred to life in the hands of the FR1s and pierced into several of the normal corpses just as the first wave of powered undead slammed through them, ripping them to shreds. Storm summoned red lightning bolts that melted several droids just as Cyclops eyes glowed an ominous red-black and a beam of pure death carved through half of my droids.
Another plasma barrage from the Hyperion slammed into a massive energy shield created by Wanda before Doom started weaving his hands together and then pointed them into the magical construct, tearing it apart. Even without the infinity stones, Doom was still powerful and knew magic.
"We need to flee immediately! We can't stop them!" Doom shouted towards me as he summoned a spear of magic and sent it spinning through several undead soldiers, their bodies incinerating.
"I know, that's not our job. We are delaying them so Heimdal can save as many people as possible. I can only stay for-" I looked at the countdown, noting that there was only eleven minutes left, "eleven minutes, before I will be pulled away by magic..."
"This is all my fault... I will stay and help for as long as I can." Doom said solemnly before clicking a button on his gauntlet, a whole swathe of stored robots launching from the city out into the plain.
I winced as Cyclops's laser lanced towards me before I grabbed onto it and the energy sustaining the undead form behind it and yanked, creating one of my larger tanks from the abundance of energy. The tank soon started belting out hundreds of plasma bursts towards the Undead Storm as she tore through several Ice-wings. The undead corpse quickly melted into ash before the tank was torn into hundreds of pieces by an undead Magneto.
Cyclops had disappeared and I quickly switch to Magneto, pulling upon the energy that sustained his existence, creating a couple hundred droids from the chaos energy before the undead faded into dust, ready to come back out of the portal.
Most of my droids were down now and so I pulled upon the tear's chaos energy and created another ten thousand droids, my internal energy levels spiking with every scoop of chaos energy I figuratively consumed whilst creating my army.
Undead Thor raised Mjollnir from beside Wanda before he twirled it around and around and launched towards the Hyperion. What happened next stunned me as the Norse god simply tore through the exterior plating with all of the power of a neutron star, the carrier imploding in on itself before exploding outwards and raining shrapnel all of over the plain.
"Can you handle Thor?" Doom asked loudly as he stabbed another incineration blade into Coulson, the former Shield agent burning to crispy blue ashes.
"Let me handle him." I yelled before focussing the full force of my attention on the undead Norse god, slashing my way through the enormous amount of chaos energy surrounding him and draining it away into the red liquid within me.
Undead Thor reacted instantly however and spun his hammer, his eyes flashing between red and blue several times before he slammed downwards through the air towards me. That was a stupid mistake by him however as I simply yanked all of his energy away and force pulled on his hammer, bringing it to my hand.
I immediately readied myself to simply use the force to fling it from my hand in an instant as a quick improvised weapon but the legendary hammer lightly slapped into my hand and began humming, lightning pouring from it like a sieve as the enchantments became awash in pure energy.
'I'm worthy?' Doubt filled me for a split second until I felt an energy build up from nearby Wanda and watched as a massive pillar-wide beam of chaos-infused Odin Force blitzed through the air towards me. In a split second I decided to test my control over lightning and its compatibility with Mjolnir.
"FFFFFF-FUCK YOU!" I pointed Mjolnir in the direction of the beam and poured all of the collected energy from Undead Thor's animation into a truck-wide bar of bright blue lightning that swallowed the beam of pure power.
The amount of energy behind the attack acted like a particle cannon and atomised thousands of my own droids as well as Undead Odin himself. Lightning was also crackling all over Wanda as her undead form stuttered and quaked in the wake of the lightning blast. Huffing at the expenditure of energy I watched smoke pour off of Mjolnir's Uru metal as the godly artefact hummed in the pleasure of ending several abominations.
"How long do you have left?" Doom asked tiredly, his spectral blades thrumming with power despite his haggard countenance.
I looked at the chat and felt relief wash over me. "I have Five minutes before I go. You need to go through the Stargate, then I can destroy it and flee to the other in New York... I'll bring as many people as I can from New York over before I set the self destruct and flee to Asgard." I commanded before grimacing at the now extremely pissed off undead Wanda.
"All in five minutes?" Doom said disbelievingly.
"Yep, now go!" I grabbed him with the force and flung him back at the Stargate, his green cape disappearing into the event horizon. With that same motion I activated the self destruct on the gate and yanked it out of the ground, flinging it towards the breach, shutting it off a few seconds before it landed.
My perception of time slowed immediately as I pumped the force through my body as if it were adrenaline instead of a cosmic power. The effect was instantaneous as my arms, legs and body blurred, celerity propelling me into the still running Jedi Fighter. An explosive wave of space-time slowly wafted out from the explosion of the Stargate as I ordered the ship to take off and fly away as fast as it could.
The wave struck the fighter just as the inertial dampeners kicked in and the sub-light engines flickered to life. Moments passed in horror-filled anticipation for me before the fighter burst forwards towards New York.
`Father, I'm going now... Please be safe.` Apollo pleaded softly inside my mind.
'I will...' I sent back tiredly whilst my fighter lowered speed frighteningly fast and burned through the skies above the Atlantic ocean, eventually coming to Mach 1 over the top of New York's skies.
Swiftly, I lowered the fighter down towards Avenger Tower, watching Spider Man and several Shield agents walk out to the balcony. Shaking my head in annoyance I landed the fighter within seconds and leapt from the cockpit, my Stargate simmering brightly at the other end of the landing pad.
"Is Doom defeated?" Peter Parker questioned desperately whilst the Shield agents checked the surrounding skies. I hadn't met these people since I'd been here but I understood their characters from the comics I had read in my first life.
"No and he isn't the problem." I stated as I rushed up to the Stargate, my new internal power source vibrating as I launched it in a wave of light towards the Gate, instantly activating its link with the gate on Asgard.
"What do you mean sir?" One of the shield agents asked, I think she was the right hand of Fury?
"Death has claimed this universe, the infinity stones are obliterated and the dead are now coming to claim what their mistress now views as hers." The gate shuddered into a still event horizon as I turned to Spider Man.
"That makes no sense! What are you trying to to tell us!?" The agent screamed out loud as the other agents all put their hands on their holsters.
"Fuck it. We don't have time for this." I waved my hand and flung them through the Stargate. Next, I spread my senses through the city and felt the last remaining elements of life within the city. Within seconds I used the technology within the city to send a message...
' " To all living beings within New York. If you wish to escape the oncoming cataclysm then arrive at Avengers Tower within twenty minutes and enter the portal at the top level. After twenty minutes have passed I cannot keep the portal open any longer and you shall be left to your fate. Please, I urge you, take this warning seriously and flee immediately." '
I stood at the top of the landing platform for the last few minutes that were available to me, allowing the staff of Avengers Tower through, before I activated the self destruct; setting it for half an hour from now. Then I blipped away from Loki's universe and appeared back inside the Chrysler building.
"HESTIA, I need you to immediately monitor the Stargate network and immediately connect the Asgard gate to the Rakata Prime gate once the connection with New York is shut off!" I boomed out as I stumbled over to my desk.
"Got it dad!" She replied as my other 'children' all appeared inside the room, looking like a bunch of kids who had all been caught doing something bad. I put my concerns aside however and quickly summoned the chatroom.
Drecarios Frost- I am safe back home. Loki, the gate is connected to New York currently. I have sent a message throughout the city for refugees to get there. It will shut down in twenty minutes... From there I will have Hestia connect the gate to Rakata prime. Make sure everyone there is ready to go in ships or whatever you have that is most efficient.
Tony Stark- I am back as well... I'm coming over to the Chrysler Elsa, I want to be there to help
Jester Lavorre- YOU'RE SAFE!!!! 😭😭😭
Beauregard Lionett- Heh, good
Luke Skywalker- We are safe...
M. Sam Carter- WHY DID YOU SEND ME AWAY ELSA!!!???
Drecarios Frost- Maybe because you were outclassed and outgunned? Thor destroyed one of my carriers a few minutes or so after you left
Loki Odinson- We are getting a steady stream of refugees and it has almost been twenty minutes... I don't know what will happen to someone if the gate shuts down mid-transport...
Drecarios Frost- They will be carried through and reach the other gate safely, it is a part of the fail safes...
Just Ciri- Me and Aegon are okay... The loss of Vermithor is weighing heavily on him, alongside his wounds, he won't be awake for several days if not a week. The Maester is looking after him whilst I am attempting to heal him, it is slow going though
Gandalf the White- The presence I felt when I left was almost as insidious as Morgoth himself... And even then I do not truly understand how powerful Morgoth himself was since the higher beings fought him, not I nor my kin...
Drecarios Frost- You were feeling the entity known as Death... She is the metaphysical representation and reality of death within the Marvel Multiverse... Tony and I's universe included
Gandalf the White- Concerning
Luke Skywalker- I allowed her to lay claim to that universe... I acted on an unclear vision and ended an entire universe...
Tony Stark- You didn't cause shit Schwartz! That was all Doom's fault!
Drecarios Frost- Doom wasn't even at fault... I think Death had her eyes on that universe to begin with...
"Dad, the Stargate has shut down and I am opening the gate between Asgard and Rakata Prime." Hestia softly intoned before joining her siblings in the middle of the room.
"Thanks love... Now, Apollo, I need you to purchase a lot of food under the guise of trade and bring it to our New York tower... I'll make a large Stargate and we can send food and amenities through to Rakata Prime." I stated methodically as I turned my computer on and sent a message to my sister's phone, asking her to come back to the Chrysler immediately.
"Got it father!" Apollo took the excuse to leave with alacrity, disappearing in a plume of solar energy. Hermes and Artemis looked slightly angry at how quick Apollo left, much to my confusion.
"Dad we have to say sorry..." Artemis sorrowfully said, her gaze locked onto the floor.
"Why?" I asked.
"Ummm, we sorta maybe, you know, blew some stuff up when you were attacked and afterwards...?" Hermes interjected awkwardly whilst rubbing his holographic neck.
"And? I don't give a shit. You were working within the parameters I gave you." I quizzically answered before waving them off with a small huff, focussing on bringing my considerable reach into preparing several modular houses for the refugees.
"Oh!?" Hermes reacted in an upbeat manner, Artemis joining him as they looked at one another and smiled. Shaking my head at my 'kids' antics I looked at house designs, deciding to just copy them and print them out with my ability once I could get to Rakata Prime.
Drecarios Frost- You can go through the Stargate now! Go as fast as possible!
Loki Odinson- All of Asgard's people are going through first. Hela and I are staying with Heimdal to protect the evacuation
Tony Stark- Well it seems like the Time Stop has ended... You need to hurry!
Drecarios Frost- What Tony said, Wanda can warp reality and travel vast distances in a blink of an eye... We're lucky she had been solely working towards expanding the breech instead of spreading death
Loki Odinson- I'll tell them to double their speed
Jester Lavorre- Can we help???? 😨😨
Drecarios Frost- I'm sorry Jester but now we just need to focus on saving as many people as possible... Adding more people to the equation will make it harder
Jester Lavorre- O-kay 😭😭
"Hey dad...?"
I looked up at Hermes who was looking at me oddly.
"What's up?"
He glanced behind me before speaking.
"Why is Mjolnir hovering behind you?"
I looked behind me and witnessed Mjolnir hovering over my shoulder, as if it were looking at what I was searching at on my computer. Sighing I pinched the bridge of my nose, wondering how I was going to explain this to the chat and the Avengers.
"I guess this Mjolnir is mine now..." I lazily explained whilst the Hammer chirpily bobbed up and down.
