==Transcript==
*Rocket Raccoon: Well, that's another planet we'll never be able to visit again.
*Star-Lord: Because you tried to to steal their most priceless artifact!
*Rocket Raccoon: How was I supposed to know tat thing was so important to 'em?
*Star-Lord: There was a plaque right next to it that said so!
*Rocket Raccoon: Yeah, well, I don't go to museums to read. I got there to steal. 
*Drax the Destroyer: Anyone else would waited to offend their clients until AFTER they were paid.
*Rocket Raccoon: I'm not anyone else. I'm one of a kind, baby.
*Gamora: A fact that makes me wonder how much a museum might pay for you...
*Groot: I am Groot.
*Rocket Raccoon: Oh, oh., don't you side with them, you overgrown--
*Gamora: What trouble have you steered us unto now, Quill?
*Star-Lord: Nothing. There's literally nothing out here. My scanners are coming to blank.
*Drax the Destroyer: I never heard this alarm before. It is a horrid sound.
*Groot: I am Groot.
*Drax the Destroyer: True. Anything is better than that racket Star-Lord calls music.
*Star-Lord: Rocket? Any idea why our ship is on the fritz?
*Rocket Raccoon: I might have installed a new scanner. I whipped up that detects high concentrations of unusual energy-- Cosmic Cubes. Nega-Bands, Asgardian Hammers... You know, the kind of stuff people pay big money for.
*Star-Lord: But there's nothing out there but rocks!
*Gamora: If I were hiding an object of immense cosmic power, I would want it to look that way as well. 
*Star-Lord: Can you lead us to it? 
*Rocket Raccoon: Can I...? You bet your hairless pink butt I can. Whatever it is, it should be right behind this--
*Groot: I am Groot.
*Rocket Raccoon: You can say that again.
*Drax the Destroyer: This is a Hala-class Kree warship.
*Gamora: These vessels usually carry hundreds of soldiers. 
*Star-Lord: But there's not a single sign of the life on board. Something's not right here. We need to take a look around. See if we can find-- 
*Rocket Raccoon: Treasure?
*Star-Lord: I was going to say "any survivors." But sure... Treasure is always good, too. 
*Rocket Raccoon: Seriously? No welcoming committee?
*Star-Lord: Scans were right. We've got ourselves a ghost ship.
*Gamora: Why would the Kree abaddon a vessel of this caliber?
*Drax the Destroyer: I have a terrible feeling we are about to find out...
*Rocket Raccoon: Hold on. Some weird energy readings just popped on my map...
*Star-Lord: Any chance it could be survivors?
*Drax the Destroyer: Over there! Such a shiny switch is begging to be flipped!
*Star-Lord: We should probably get moving.
*Gamora: Agreed. The sooner we get off this ship, the better.
*Rocket Raccoon: Fine. But we can we at least blow some stuff up first? We'd better clear this junk outta the way. 
*Star-Lord: Let's see what's behind door number two! Everyone! Take cover! 
*Drax the Destroyer: Our path has been obliterated!
*Star-Lord: What are our options here, Rocket?
*Rocket Raccoon: Looks like there's only one way out...
*Star-Lord: The bridge is falling apart! Try to jump over the gaps!
*Drax the Destroyer: Easy to say for the man with the ridiculous boot jets!
*Gamora: I knew I should have stayed on the ship...
*Groot: I AM GROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!!!!
*Nebula: Hold your fire... for now... 
*Gamora: You!
*Nebula: You certainly weren't who we were expecting... But we will be more than glad to kill you anyway. You never could mind your own business, sister. Your presence have may have exposed us all. For that, you must pay! 
*Rocket Raccoon: These Kree goons ain't goin' down easy.
*Nebula: If our plan fails, the blood of every being in this universe will be on your hands, Guardians... so I will gladly have your blood on mine! 
*Gamora: Thanos raised us to hate each other, Nebula, but it doesn't have to be that way anymore. 
*Rocket Raccoon: I dunno. Thanos didn't teach me nothin' and I still hate this lady.
*Nebula: Idiots! Your stupidity may have doomed the universe!
*Rocket Raccoon: Wouldn't be the first time, sweetheart.
*Gamora: Whatever the Kree are hiding on this ship, it must be very important if Nebula is involved.
*Drax the Destroyer: But if their trap was not meant for us...then who was it for?
*Rocket Raccoon: Anyone else kinda hope we never have to find out?
*Star-Lord: The energy source we're tracking should be right past... whatever the heck that thing is. 
*Drax the Destroyer: These ones think they are tough. How amusing!
*Star-Lord: Smash the core computer and the barrier should go down! I hope... 
*Rocket Raccoon: Bombs? All right! Now things are gettin' fun!
*Gamora: What have you led us into now?
*Drax the Destroyer: Danger and chaos! Two of my favorite things!
*Gamora: Stop wasting time and strike the core!
*Star-Lord: Whew! Glad that's over... 
*Rocket Raccoon: Don't get too comfy, pal. Final destination's right on the other side of this door.
*Ronan the Accuser: You have problem far more resourceful than I would have imagined... But the time has come to face your final judgement. Imbeciles! The Kree were trying to save all of time and space from being ripped asunder! But you Guardians had to barge in and expose us all to those who will ultimately bring our destruction! 
*Rocket Raccoon: Now that ya say it...that totally does sound like somethin' we would do...
*Star-Lord: Whoa! Watch out for that one! Couldn't even block it!
*Rocket Raccoon: What the frutak was that?! 
*Ronan the Accuser: It's too late. The Kree sacrificed thousands of brave souls to gather the only artifacts capable of holding off the forces of oblivion... And this, it seems, shall be our last stand. 
*Drax the Destroyer: Perhaps this is all a misunderstanding.
*Gamora: If we stop fighting for just a minute, we might be able to find a way to fix this.
*Ronan the Accuser: The damage is already done. Our location has been discovered. There is only enough time left to die with honor... And I will make certain that you go first! 
*Gamora: Whoever you're afraid of, Ronan, we can help you fight them!
*Star-Lord: He's clearly not a team player, Gamora. Let's show him what he's missing! 
*Ronan the Accuser: They have arrived.
*Star-Lord: They? Who is "they"? What is this all about, Ronan?
*Proxima Midnight: This is all about the end of all that is. And we are the ones who shall deliver it... once you have returned to us what is ours, Kree dog. 
*Ronan the Accuser: Never! The madman you obey only wishes to destr--
*Proxima Midnight: The time has come to return home. Your master awaits.
*Star-Lord: The Infinity Stones?! Rocket...do you see this? All six-- Rocket? Rocket? 
*Rocket Raccoon: So, here's the way I see it. I know you'd said these Stones belong to your "master," whoever that is... But technically, we got here first. So how's about you take three, we take three, and we call it a-- HEY! 
*Proxima Midnight: You will leave here with nothing. Not even your lives. I have felled worlds. Your pathetic attacks cannot harm me. 
*Rocket Raccoon: We weren't tryin' to hurt ya. Just to distract ya. 
*Proxima Midnight: Distract...? No! You shall not have them1 I swear in Thanos's name! 
*Gamora: Did she say...Thanos? QUILL! You can't let her have them! 
*Star-Lord: I think I'm gonna hurl. Oh, great! You're here! I thought we were dead. We aren't dead, are we? 
*Drax the Destroyer: I have felt death. This...is slightly less pleasant.
*Gamora: We are alive. But we could be anywhere in space or time. The Infinity Stones are not playthings. 
*Star-Lord: Hey! I did exactly what you said. I saved the items of insane power from the psycho space lady. 
*Groot: I am Groot.
*Rocket Raccoon: You can? And you just sat there listening to us jabber?! Do it already! Oh, great. We save the universe from disaster, but we're the ones that end up in prison?! 
*Star-Lord: Yep. That sounds about right. 
*Drax the Destroyer: Why were we transported to the place, Quill?
*Star-Lord: I don't know. I just grabbed the stone and thought of somewhere safe.
*Rocket Raccoon: Yeah, well, somethin' tells me we'd be a lot safer on the other side of that flarkin' door... 
*Gamora: This wall is structurally unsound. Perhaps... 
*Drax the Destroyer: Ha! No cell can hold us!
*Star-Lord: Looks like we just made bail, Guardians.
*Gamora: We need to find a way out of this place.
*Rocket Raccoon: If I can get the power up and running, we can break outta this hole... We've gotta repair this terminal if we wanna restore power to this dump. 
*Rocket Raccoon: What'd I tell ya? You need cell doors disarmed and opened? I'm your guy! 
*Star-Lord: Umm...you might not be the only one...
*Rocket Raccoon: Been to more prisons in more galaxies than I can count. This? This is new... 
*Drax the Destroyer: Hmm. These are no ordinary prisoners.
*Gamora: Neither are we.
*Rocket Raccoon: Nothin' like a good old-fashioned cellblock brawl to make me feel right at home...
*Drax the Destroyer: Any notion of where in the universe we are?
*Star-Lord: No idea. But the other prisoners look strangely human...ish.
*Groot: I am Groot!
*Rocket Raccoon: I hear ya, buddy. This sure brings back some memories, don't it?
*Spider-Man: Y'know, delivering super-villains to the Raft is usually just a lot of boring paperwork. But this... is a total riot! Come on, really? Not even a smile from the tree? What are you Guardians doing back on Earth?
*Star-Lord: Earth? Huh. I guess home is still my happy place...
*Spider-Man: It won't be for long if we don't get things under control. We've got an entire super-villain prison population ready to break free. 
*Rocket Raccoon: Next time you teleport us across the galaxy, Quill, try to think of a beach instead!
*Gamora: Why do all these prisoners have powers?
*Spider-Man: Because the Raft is reserved exclusively for the worst criminals on our planet has to offer. Which makes me wonder...what were you guys doing in there?
*Star-Lord: It's a long story...
*Spider-Man: That went so much better than when I do it alone!
*Star-Lord: Then let's stick it together and get out of here...preferably before they wake up!
*Spider-Man: This way! And don't forget to close the door behind us!
*Rocket Raccoon: Not that I'm complainin' ...but shouldn't a prison have, you know, guards?
*Spider-Man: Yeah... Something's definitely not right here.
*Star-Lord: You don't know the half of it... Finally some fresh air! Those cells smelled worse than Rocket's bunk!
*Drax the Destroyer: Now, onward to sweet freedom! 
*Spider-Man: Hate to break it to you, folks, but it won't be quite that easy... 
*Sandman: SPIDER-BRAT! You put me here! You buried me in a dark cell for life! Now, I'm gonna burry YOU ...dead or alive! 
*Gamora: What is it? 
*Spider-Man: In case you hadn't noticed, his whole body's made of sand. Hitting him is useless. It's working! He's solidifying! This may be our only chance to stop him! 
*Rocket Raccoon: More of these jerks? Great. 
*Spider-Man: To be fair, Sandy never had the best taste in friends... 
*Sandman: Takes more than to get rid of me, bug!
*Spider-Man: I know! I'm gonna be picking grains of you out of my costume for weeks after this!
*Sandman: SSSPPPPIIIIDDDDERRR-MMMAAAAA--
*Spider-Man: Well, it may not be fine art, but it's fine by me. What's not fine at all is the fact that the Raft is home of some of my deadliest foes, and they're all either trying to break free... or to break us. While that force field is engaged, they can get out, but-- 
*Rocket Raccoon: Let me guess. Neither can we.
*Nick Fury: Then you're lucky some of us have a way in. 
*Rocket Raccoon: A teleportin' dog? Is this some kinda joke? 
*Iron Man: You know, I was just about to ask the same thing about the raccoon with the laser gun.
*Rocket Raccoon: It's a quantum igniter, thank you very much, and it can blast you right outta that tin can before-- 
*Nick Fury: Measure your weapons later, boys if we want to survive this... we do it as a team. 
*Spider-Man: Just my luck, I cam here to drop off the Lizard, but now I'm the one whose tail is getting kicked. 
*Gamora: What can you tell us about the Raft?
*Spider-Man: It's a maximum security prison designed specifically for super-powered villains. Not exactly the place a friendly neighborhood hero like yours truly feels at home.
*Captain Marvel: Isn't this outside the Guardians' jurisdiction? 
*Star-Lord: Technically, the Earth is part of the galaxy.
*Captain Marvel: Well, I'm certainly glad to have the extra hands. Of all the planets in the universe, for some reason, ours is the one that seems to be under attack frequently. 
*Hulk: Why are we talking when we could be smashing?
*Star-Lord: You know, that's a good question... 
*Hulk: Hulk knows. Hulk isn't just the strongest one there is, he's also the smartest!
*Crystal: Hi, there. How can I help with you? 
*Star-Lord: How exactly does Lockjaw teleport like that?
*Crystal: He's an Inhuman, just like me. And with the help of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s tracking tech, he should be able to home in on hotspots and swap out our team members when things get rough. Isn't that right, good boy? Yes, it is! 
*Nick Fury: This is an official S.H.I.E.L.D. operation, so you're taking orders from me now.
*Star-Lord: Not so fast, Fury. We call our own shots.
*Nick Fury: Which is probably why we're in this mess in the first place! Unless, of course, your sudden arrival has absolutely nothing to do with the six Infinity Stone sized bursts of cosmic energy that S.H.I.E.L.D. just detected in the vicinity... 
*Star-Lord: Yeah... we might know something about that... 
*Nick Fury: Figures. Just consider yourself lucky that I've got a team of heroes on speed dial for missions of universal importance like this one.
*Star-Lord: About that... How'd you manage to get everyone to the Raft so quickly?
*Nick Fury: We had some help from Crystal's canine companion, Lockjaw. His teleportation abilities helped me assemble this unit. And those powers of his should come in handy if we need to call in more backup. With the Stones in play, that's more than likely. 
*Star-Lord: I guess stopping a super-villain prison break is going to be the easiest part of our day, huh?
*Nick Fury: The Raft is just the start. We tracked the strongest readings here, but the other Infinity Stones are scattered across the city. If they're on Earth again, you can bet Thanos won't be far behind. We can't let him - or any other villains - get ahold of the Stones at any cost. The fate of the universe depends on it! 
*Star-Lord: Is this the part where you bark orders at us then?
*Nick Fury: Darn right, soldier. I'll be coordinating our efforts over comm-link until the Raft is secure. You got a problem with that, I won't hesitate to throw you into one of these cells! So let's move! This here is a S.H.I.E.L.D. point. Stop at one of these when you need assistance. Was that the Green Goblin circling the control tower? No telling the damage that maniac could do if he gains access to the Raft's security systems. S.H.I.E.L.D.'s scanners are going wild! You must be close to something. 
*Wolverine: Well, I'll be darned!
*Spider-Man: That does not look like it is supposed to be there.
*Nick Fury: Whatever it is, it's radiating some dangerous energy. Best to step back, Spider. You should be able to reach the control tower from here. If you can avoid triggering the defense system, you should be fine. 
*Green Goblin: What good are all these fancy weapons if they've turned off? Here! Let me help you with that! (Laughs) 
*Spider-Man: There must have been a clearance sale on lasers when they built these place. There's gotta be something we can do to get past them!
*Green Goblin: Oh, don't worry, little heroes. I have plenty more toys for you to play with!
*Nick Fury: The prisoners have hacked into the security network. They're in control of all of the Raft's heavy weaponry. To get past those security gates, you're gonna have to access the terminals in the proper sequence. 
*Star-Lord: Hooray for us!
*Nick Fury: Nice work, team.
*Green Goblin: (Laughs) You're right on time, fools! The chaos has just begun! This entire facility will soon be under my control! I'll amass the greatest army of villains ever! And you get the honor of being our first victims! (Laughs) 
*Venom: We are finally free!
*Electro: Now that I'm out of that cell, I plan to stay out! You heroes aren't too bright, are ya? 
*Scarlet Witch: Magic isn't for everyone.
*Electro: You guys have got me all charged up! 
*Venom: We'll swallow you alive before we let you abaddon us, Electro! We've never felt such power before! 
*Wolverine: Only one of us lives through this. Spoiler. It's me.
*Nick Fury: Now that he's all amped up, your powers aren't working on him. But Venom's symbiote is still vulnerable to sonic attacks. Maybe we can use the prison alarm system against him. 
*Scarlet Witch: Of course.
*Venom: We never wanted this battle, heroes! But if we must fight, we will never lose! 
*Nick Fury: The alarm is doing the job! 
*Venom: We will not let go back into that cell! 
*Spider-Man: He's had enough. I know my pal, Eddie here looks like a bad death metal cover band version of me... But under all that rippling xenomorphic protoplasm is a guy who wants to do what's best. Usually. e may seem lethal, but when the world really needs him, he always chooses to protect it. 
*Venom: You...would trust us? After this? Then we will fight with you, little Spider... And once the world knows who its one true champion is, we will devour you whole! 
*Spider-Man: Eh. I'll take what I can get.
*Venom: Yes? Is there a problem? 
*Wolverine: How do we know you're really on our side?
*Venom: Our methods may be more extreme than these other so-called heroes, but we seek the same goal--to protect the innocent and to punish the guilty. Especially Spider-Man. 
*Black Widow: We're wasting valuable time...
*Wolverine: Do you think we have enough power on our team to stop Thanos?
*Black Widow: I've taken down a lot of targets in my day. Thanos certainly won't be an easy one, but we always find a way. I just hope we manage to do so before too many of us pay the price. 
*Falcon: Something's not right... I can feel it in the air...
*Wolverine: What clued you in, Falcon?
*Falcon: Every bird from here to Jersey is on edge. I can sense it. It's almost like the whole city is pulsing with strange energy. We've gotta get outta here and track it down.
*Gamora: This had better be important...
*Wolverine: Do you think we can trust someone as deadly as Venom? 
*Gamora: Long ago, I was known as the Deadliest Woman in the Galaxy. I earned that title and wore it with pride. If he steps out of line, it is Venom who should fear being on a team with me. 
*Green Goblin: You may be getting closer to the tower, but I'm the one in control!
*Luke Cage: Free time is over, punks. Time for lights out. You'd better be here to help, 'cause I'm runnin' outta empty cells. Nice to finally have some backup. Thought I'd have to clean up this mess all by myself. 
*Green Goblin: I'm letting these prisoners out early for bad behavior!
*Luke Cage: Aw, come on! You have GOT to be kidding me! Let's make this count. I am NOT doing this a third time! Can we make this quick? Being in lockdown brings back some nasty memories...
*Wolverine: What are you doing on the Raft anyway? 
*Luke Cage: An old foe from back in the day was up for parole. Heard he'd changed his ways, so I came to put in a good word at his hearing. Tried to do the right thing and ended up trapped in jail...story of my life! 
*Nick Fury: The Goblin must've reprogrammed the security gates. He's trying to slow you down. 
*Luke Cage: Never let walls hold me back before. Not about to start now.
*Scarlet Witch: Yes.
*Spider-Man: How come they can never make getting out of prison easy? Oh... Right...
*Green Goblin: Simply A-MAZE-ing! But there are more twists and turns still to come!
*Miles Morales/Spider-Man: More of them? Are you serious? How many crazy super powered prisoners does this stupid place hold>
*Ms. Marvel: At last count? Six hundred and sixteen.
*Spider-Gwen: Against three? Those are terrible odds. When this is over, remind me never to hang out to your dimension again, Miles. 
*Spider-Man: Whoa! Cool it, kids! We're all friends here!
*Ms. Marvel: You guys! Wait! Something's not right here... 
*Spider-Gwen: The mist... Is any of this real?!
*Miles Morales/Spider-Man: Whatever's happening, we can beat it! Keep fighting!
*Mysterio: Yes, my children. Keep fighting... to the death! 
*Nick Fury: Mysterio's mist must've mucked up their minds. We've gotta remove these kids from play before they hurt anyone...including themselves! 
*Spider-Man: You bet!
*Miles Morales/Spider-Man: My Spider-Sense usually goes nuts when bad guys attack. Well, at least my other powers are still working! 
*Ms. Marvel: Don't buy into their ruse. These guys belong behind bars just like all their criminal pals.
*Spider-Gwen: I thought you said the Raft was for elite villains. What are these chumps doing here?
*Crystal: Lockjaw! Fetch, boy!
*Ms. Marvel: Not cool! This is totally what oppression looks like! I demand a phone call, a lawyer, and a fair trail! 
*Spider-Gwen: Hey! I didn't come all the way to an alternate reality to get thrown in a prison cell! I could've just stayed home for that!
*Miles Morales/Spider-Man: When I get out of here, I'm really gonna let you have it! Just give me, like, ten, fifteen minutes to recover, okay? Thanks!
*Mysterio: I had higher hopes for these young Champions... If you think you can defeat me, you are deceiving yourselves? 
*Venom: You wouldn't even be a suitable snack.
*Mysterio: I'll make you all disappear! This is no illusion, heroes. You're doomed! I do love captive audience! Just wait for my last trick. You won't believe your eyes. 
*Ms. Marvel: Hey! He-Heroes! If you let us out of here we promise we won't hit you anymore. I hope. 
*Miles Morales/Spider-Man: I swear we'll make it up to you...if you can ever find a way to trust us again...
*Ms. Marvel: Wait... Is that Venom on your team?!
*Spider-Gwen: So... I guess that means we're cool then, yeah?
*Ms. Marvel: Sooo... What's new? Other than the fact that I totally just embarrassed myself in front of my idols...
*Spider-Gwen: How did Mysterio get you under his control?
*Ms. Marvel: It must've been that weird mind-mist of his. It altered our prescription and made us think we were fighting against more super-villains. But...it was really you! Not exactly one for the scrapbook...
*Wolverine: Make it quick, kid.
*Miles Morales/Spider-Man: Any idea where should we lead next?
*Wolverine: The sooner we get off this blasted island, the better. Whole place reeks of trouble...and not the kind I like gettin' into. You wanna find those Stones? Then let's go huntin'.
*Green Goblin: You heroes just won't quit, will you? It would almost be admirable...if it wasn't so blasted annoying! 
*Spider-Gwen: Is "Nameless Villain" a common career choice over here?
*Ms. Marvel: Whatever's going down inside the tower, we'll help you stop it. We owe you that much.
*Nick Fury: Next stop: The Raft's main control room. If the Goblin wants to break out, he'll have to do it from there.
*Miles Morales/Spider-Man: And once that force field goes down, Manhattan becomes super-villain central.
*Spider-Gwen: Be honest. It kinda already is, right? Why else would so many of you guys live there?
*Ms. Marvel: Technically, I live in Jersey. But I get your point.
*Doctor Octopus: That jade may think he's the mastermind behind the jailbreak... But once I activate the prison's force field, I'll show him who truly has the superior intellect! Hmm? Thouse, I suppose I'll have to show YOU first, won't I? You will rue the day you thought yourselves fit to challenge Otto Octavius! You've always underestimated me. Never again! My master plan is foolproof! And fortunately, you are nothing but fools! This brand of fisticuffs is beneath a genius like me! Typical! You heroes lash out with brute force against those who threaten you intellectually. You cannot lock one as brilliant as I away in a cage! Doctor Octopus must be free to reign supreme! You meddlesome morons are always getting in my way! 
*Spider-Man: I bet even my Aunt May could take you down!
*Doctor Octopus: It cannot be... I am your superior! 
*Green Goblin: This is what I get for leaving a pawn like you to do the work of a king, Otto. As much as I'd love to stay and play, there's still so much more that must be done! Fortunately, time is on my side! 
*Nick Fury: The Goblin can't escape while the Raft's force field is still up... But I'm starting to wonder if that lunatic has a different plan in his warped field. 
*Spider-Man: Oh, man. How come I always have to fight him in high places? It never ends well...
*Green Goblin: (Laughs) Normally, I'd ask what took you so long... but today I've got a little extra time on my hands. Too bad yours is about to run out! This Stone was delivered to me by fate! You'll never take it away from me! Hey! That's my trick! Hands off, heroes! Get your own toys! I've got plenty of time to kill! How many heroes DOES it take it stop one Goblin? More than you've got! Finally! The kind of power I've always dreamed of...power worthy of Norman Osborn! I'm going to save Spider-Man for last! I'll make you pay for hurting me! 
*Spider-Man: And stay down! Please? For me?
*Green Goblin: You'll never defeat me! NEVER! -IREVEN !em taefed reven ll'uoY The future is mine to-ot enim si erutuf ehT 
*Groot: I am Groot?
*Spider-Man: Huh. I think I finally broke him.
*Gamora: Worse. He has lost control of the Time Stone. There is no telling... what sort of damage madman such as he could do the laws of nature! 
*Rocket Raccoon: Yeah, it may rip the timestream to shreds, but you gotta admit, it's pretty flarkin' hilarious!
*Star-Lord: That's not exactly the word I would choose. Look!
*Thanos: This is how it all ends. I shall be waiting here for you...
*Green Goblin: This is how it all ends... This is how it all ends...
*Spider-Man: Or we could work together for once and make sure that it isn't. What do you say, Norman? 
*Green Goblin: This is how it all ends... 
*Spider-Man: Worth a try. This oughta hold you until the Raft's guards can fit you a new straight jacket.
*Miles Morales/Spider-Man: Whoa! Hey! Not a good idea! 
*Star-Lord: I know what I'm doing. These things need to be put in a safe place.
*Spider-Gwen: Your pocket is not safe place, space-bro.
*Star-Lord: That's funny, because this one has been doing just fine in there. 
*Luke Cage: You tellin' me he had one of those Stones, all along and he didn't bother using it?!
*Gamora: It's far better that he didn't. When you used by unaccustomed with cosmic power, the Infinity Stones can you disastrous results. 
*Rocket Raccoon: Like landing us on this miserable mudball of a planet.
*Venom: We will be thrown back in our cell now?
*Drax the Destroyer: No. If the future is a grim as it looks you're better off by our side than behind bars.
*Star-Lord: There are still four more Stones out there, each one just as powerful, but in totally different ways. If they can do all crazy stuff like that on their own, we really don't want to find out what all six can do together. We didn't mean to bring them here to Earth, but it happened. So, now it's up to us to track the rest down before Thanos can. I'd like to say this isn't your fight, but you know I'd be lying. We need you. All of you. Hell, probably about twenty more of you. But we'll take what we can get. And together, we'll make sure that there is no way in this galaxy, or any other, that a tyrant like Thanos will-- Really?! Come on, man, I only to make speeches like that once, twice a year tops! 
*Luke Cage: Sorry. Gotta take this. It's my wife. Jess, baby. I can't really-- Yeah, well there was this thing out on the Raft and-- I know, but I'm sure Danny and Matt can handle-- We'll be right there. 
*Star-Lord: Okay, now, can we get back to it? 
*Luke Cage: We better. 'Cause my girl just found your next Stone... 
*Captain America: What's on your mind, soldier?
*Spider-Gwen: Prison breaks. Infinity Stones. Even with all of these heroes together, it still seems like too much to handle...
*Captain America: That may be true, but a war is won by fighting one battle at a time. As long as we have each other's backs along the way, victory will stay without reach. 
*Scarlet Witch: What seems to be the problem?
*Venom: I think we just saw the future...and it didn't look good... 
*Scarlet Witch: I have seem my fair share of dark futures. What I have learned is that no fate is sealed until we choose it to be. If the ending you saw is not the one you desire, then we will fight for a better one together! 
*Thor: Greetings, fellow warriors! What sayset thou?
*Venom: Think you could call in extra help from Asgard, Thor? 
*Thor: The All-Father chooses not to meddle in the affairs of mortals. On that matter, we do not see eye-to-eye. 'Tis my believe that any who pray to the gods deserve to have their pleas answered.
*Iron Man: What's on your mind? 
*Venom: If the Infinity Stones can alter time and space, why can't we use them to stop Thanos right now? 
*Iron Man: Because power like this theirs always comes with a price tag. The Stones twist the laws of nature past their breaking points. Using even one could force the universe into shutdown mode. Not fun.
*Nick Fury: Nice work, soldier. But the mission's just begun... 
*Venom: Looks like Thanos isn't alone in his quest for the Infinity Stones.
*Nick Fury: Yeah. Apparently, we're not the only ones who've gathered a team. Intel from the Nova Corps identifies his crew as the Black Order-- --some of the most vicious warriors in the known universe. And if they serve Thanos, then you already know where they're headed. 
*Venom: If they get the Stones... well, I guess we just saw what happens. How do we prevent that horrible future?
*Nick Fury: We find the Stones before they do. We've secured two of them already, so that's a good start... but it won't be enough. And I guarantee that we aren't the only ones who noticed their arrival. Every villain from here to Wakanda is probably trying to claim their power by now. 
*Venom: So what's our next step?
*Nick Fury: S.H.I.E.L.D. needs to coordinate with Alpha Flight and strategize a defense effort for when Thanos and his goons make planetfall. They'll need the Director on-deck for that, which means you're going to have to handle the search for the Stones without me. 
*Venom: You sure we can do this, Nick?
*Nick Fury: Fought a lot of battles in my day, and only dreamed of having an alliance like this one backing me up. If this team can handle the mission, no one can. 
*Jessica Jones: Took you long enough. Good thing I charge by the hour... If my sources are right, we don't have any time to waste... 
*Luke Cage: Did you really locate one of the Infinity Stones?
*Jessica Jones: Maybe. I got a tip that the Kingpin acquired some of amped-up crystal. can't say for sure it's one of yours, but chances are good. 
*Luke Cage: The Kingpin?
*Jessica Jones: You know: Wilson Fisk? Legitimate businessman by day, corrupt criminal overlord by night? That guy.
*Luke Cage: Where is Kingpin hiding the Stone?
*Jessica Jones: Well, he's not at Fisk Tower, which means he's probably holed away in what weird fortress of his--Shadowland. Just look for the ancient ninja temple of top of a skyscraper. You can't miss it.
*Luke Cage: Great work, Jessica.
*Jessica Jones: Oh, you know me. I just love this superhero stuff... Sorry, gang. I've got another lead to follow up on. I'll meet up with you a bit later...but I'll stay in touch, just in case, okay? Oh, did I mention that the ancient ninja temple is guarded by actual ninjas? If not, I probably should've... I'm betting you've noticed this by now, but The Hand's ninjas have a tendency to appear out of nowhere. Iron Fist says it's some sort of magic mumbo jumbo that lets them metalize out of thin air. Whatever it is, they're sneaky little jerks. So watch out! See those searchlights sweeping the rooftop? That means The Hand knows we're coming. Stick to the shadows or you'll never make it to the temple...at least not in one piece. 
*Spider-Man: Yikes! Watch out!
*Jessica Jones: Way to go. You've been made. Why not just announce you're here?
*Luke Cage: Better call in backup.
*Jessica Jones: There goes the element of surprise. Huh. Guess my source was right. My path was quicker and easier than yours! 
*Captain America: How did the Kingpin's ninjas know we were coming?
*Jessica Jones: While I waited for you to get here, my fellow Defenders went ahead inside. For some reason, those guys just can't resist all this stupid ninja crap.
*Captain America: You don't really seem like the "super-team" type...
*Jessica Jones: Oh, I'm not. Spandex is my arch-nemesis. But someone's gotta keep the streets safe for normal people while all the other heroes are busy fighting giant squids on the moon or whatever.
*Captain America: How do we get into Shadowland?
*Jessica Jones: It looks like the temple is on high alert. That's on us. The Hand already sealed off the main gates... But I think I can remedy that... 
*Captain America: Even I didn't see that coming.
*Luke Cage: Impressive as always, Jess. You gonna tell me how you got through all that without gettin' caught?
*Jessica Jones: Nope. Gotta keep the mystery in our relationship alive somehow, babe. I hate to ditch, but I just got an emergency call from a client who pays a lot more than you. Get inside and meet up with the Defenders. They'll help you handle it from here. I hope... 
*Nick Fury: More power fluctuations in that region. Try to find the source.
*Jessica Jones: One last thing... Danny just texted me and told me he'll meet you a the door. Knowing him, you'll probably want to stand back... 
*Iron Fist: As much as I appreciate a timeless weapon like yours... I prefer an immortal one like mine! That was a good warm up. But the real challenge still lies ahead... 
*Luke Cage: I need something to break.
*Captain America: Affirmative!
*Wolverine: Finally, some action!
*Iron Fist: They chose a violent path. They reaped what they sowed. I've searched the whole room and there are no other doors. Unless we find a way to open the gate, our journey ends here. I recognize this. It's the Azure Dragon of the East. Here's the Vermillion Bird of the South in all its glory. This one is the White Tiger of the West. A classic! And who can forget the good old Black Turtle of the North? 
*Daredevil: You're welcome to follow me... But watch your step. My radar sense gives me an advantage, letting me sense where their triggers are. Your safest bet is to let me--or another teammate who can detect danger--lead the way. I hear more coming. Like rats scurrying in the walls. We won. This time. We can't stop now. There's no telling what the Kingpin has in store...
*Spider-Man: Whatever he's protecting must be important. The Hand is everywhere! How do we fight them?
*Daredevil: With everything we've got. Don't worry about holding back. Hand warriors are cursed so they can't ever really die. They always come back, time and time again...
*Spider-Man: No wonder their army seems so endless. Can we--
*Daredevil: Wait! Do you hear that? Some sort of...chanting. Sounds like a ritual. And that smell. Something...or someone strangely familiar... 
*Spider-Man: Could it have something to do with the Infinity Stone? 
*Daredevil: Let's find out...
*Elektra: Whatever evil The Hand is invoking can stay in hell. I'll send you there to greet it instead. 
*Cult Member: It is too late, assiasian. The beast is coming... and you shall be its vessel. 
*Elektra: The soul is eternal, but the flesh is weak. Allow me to show you, as I rend it from your bones! 
*Luke Cage: I'm unbreakable! Clearly you aren't.
*Daredevil: She's siphoning power from the Hand Mystics. If we take them out first, perhaps we can cut her supply. 
*Luke Cage: Yeah.
*Elektra: The Hand will pay for what they've done. In blood. Help me if you like... But stand in my way, and I promise that your fate will be the same as theirs. You should have never come here. 
*Spider-Man: Shouldn't you be thanking us for freeing you from... What was that anyway?
*Elektra: The Hand deals in arcane magic that dates back to the drawn of civilization. They worship a primordial beast that wishes to drag the world back to those darker days. 
*Spider-Man: And that ancient...beast... It possessed you? 
*Elektra: The Hands mystics restored me to life once, long ago. The process must have made me an ideal vessel for their enchantment. If only I had killed have mystics sooner... A mistake I won't make again! 
*Spider-Man: Why were you here in the first place?
*Elektra: For the same reason as you: to stop the Kingpin from crushing the city beneath his fist. Our goals are aligned...even if our methods are not.
*Spider-Man: You can say that again.
*Elektra: I believe I've already said enough. I will not be trapped in this accursed place any longer! 
*Daredevil: I'm getting the sense that these walls might not be as solid as they look. Check for secret passages! 
*Elektra: There! An exit from this infernal cage!
*Luke Cage: Let's head out.
*Iron Fist: Could anyone else use some fresh air?
*Elektra: These weapons could prove quite useful in the right hands... 
*Bullseye: (off-screen) This was just a warning. 
*(Bullseye arrives)
*Bullseye: Leave now or learn why they say Bullseye never misses.
*Iron Fist: Did they really say that?
*Luke Cage: Not that I've heard.
*Bullseye: That's because anyone who would know is dead. I'm right at home here in the Kingpin's little museum. After all, I make killing an art. Do me a favor and die already. I have a reputation to maintain! Heh. You think you won, but you really missed the mark. When the big man gets done with you... you're gonna wish you'd let me put outta your misery. 
*Daredevil: Something tells me the Kingpin didn't put his latest acquisition on display. 
*Spider-Man: Let's get moving.
*Luke Cage: These have anything to do with those statues we saw earlier?
*Daredevil: Don't look at me, Iron Fist?
*Iron Fist: Oh, great. Here come more of Crimson Ninjas of West Midtown. There! That's much better feng shui!
*Daredevil: I do my best fighting in hallways...
*Iron Fist: Yeah, but I prefer walls I can use to my advantage, not ones I can kick straight through!
*Kingpin: You know, it would have been far easier to just to just make an appointment. A shame that the only currency your kind seems to understand is power. Fortunately, I recently obtained a surplus. Shall we get down to business? I climbed from the gutters of Hell's Kitchen to the top of the world. Now, with this enhancing my power, this city will belong to Wilson Fisk! If you won't bow to my demands. I'm afraid you're in for a very hostile takeover. 
*Daredevil: I'm afraid your deal's been cancelled, Fisk. No refunds. 
*Star-Lord: That's a fancy gem, but it isn't one of ours.
*Rocket Raccoon: If you don't want it, Quill, I'd be glad to take it off your hands... 
*Luke Cage: If that wasn't of your Infinity Stones, then what the hell is it?
*Spider-Man: Never seen anything like it before. Some sort of isotopic ore, maybe, but withput running a few tests...
*Star-Lord: We can't waste our time on that. Not when the other Stones are still out there.
*Elektra: I have served my purpose here. I shall take my leave now.
*Spider-Man: Wait! Won't you help us? We could really use your skills!
*Elektra: Unlike the others you found in this place. I'm no defender of the innocent. What use could you heroes possibly have for an assassin? 
*Spider-Man: Hopefully, none... But if things get really bad...
*Elektra: Then you might require someone willing to bloody their hands. I understand... And I accept. For now.
*Rocket Raccoon: Ya can't have it. It's mine now.
*Spider-Man: If that's not an Infinity Stone, what could it be?
*Rocket Raccoon: Who cares? What's really important is what it does. And if it could turn that walking tub of vanilla frosting into a formidable foe, just imagine what it could do to a finely tuned specimen like yours truly!
*Spider-Man: I think I'd rather not.
*Rocket Raccoon: Admit it, you already did...and you liked it!
*Jessica Jones: So what'd I miss? 
*Spider-Man: We found the Kingpin's crystal, but it isn't a Infinity Stone.
*Jessica Jones: Yeah, sorry about that. Not every tip pans out. But at least its still nice and shiny, right?
*Spider-Man: Any other leads on objects of immense cosmic power?
*Jessica Jones: One. Something turned up over at the Hellfire Club. That place gets kinda freaky, though, even for me. Maybe it's better if I scout it out alone first. 
*Spider-Man: What if it's one of the Infinity Stones?
*Jessica Jones: I've got Luke on speed dial, so I'll keep you posted. In the meantime, you want me to take the Kingpin's gem to the pawn shop for you? 
*Spider-Man: I think we can handle it. Whatever it is, it might come in handy.
*Jessica Jones: Well, if you change your mind. I know a guy...
*Ms. Marvel: So, that was my first official ninja temple! That's something, right? 
*Miles Morales/Spider-Man: I guess.
*Spider-Gwen: Why so glum, chum?
*Miles Morales/Spider-Man: All of this is so much bigger than us. I mean, I can barely do my own laundry. Stopping cosmic annihilation is a bit outside my comfort zone. 
*(Iron Man arrives)
*Iron Man: Then you probably should be glad that you have friends who have done this kind of thing before on your team.
*Ms. Marvel: Wait... Does that mean we're...?
*Iron Man: Sure. At least for today. Go ahead. Say it. You know you want to. 
*Spider-Gwen: Say what?
*Ms. Marvel: Avengers Assemble, baby! 
*Miles Morales/Spider-Man: You are such a nerd. 
*Iron Man: The test all checked out. These are definitely the real deal. Genuine Infinity Stones, jam-packed with endless cosmic energy. They grant near-omnipotent abilities to whoever holds them. 
*(Vision arrives)
*Iron Man: Which leads me to an extremely important question... Can I keep 'em?
*Vision: I believe that the Stones are safer in containment than in anyone's hands. Especially yours. 
*Iron Man: Remind me to program more fin into you, Vis.
*Vision: I will be certain to add to that to the top of my task list... after we discuss my analysis of this other unusual crystal... You guys are probably going to want to take a look at these readings. 
*Black Widow: Yes?
*Spider-Man: Do you have any contacts in the spy world that could lead us to the other Stones?
*Black Widow: If I did, they certainly wouldn't reveal that information for free. So unless you have a bank account you're willing to empty, we'll need another option.
*Spider-Man: Weren't you trained to to exact information like that in other...less diplomatic ways?
*Black Widow: I may have been raised in the Red Room, but it's been a long time since I practiced what they teach. We'll find the Stones, but we'll do it the right way. As heroes. 
*Hulk: Hmph. What do you want?
*Spider-Man: Do you know anything about the Infinity Stones? 
*Hulk: Yeah, they're shiny and they make you stronger. But not as strong as Hulk!
*Spider-Man: What do you think the Kingpin's crystal was?
*Hulk: Puny Banner could probably tell you, but he's not here right now. And Hulk doesn't really care. 
*Spider-Man: Any ideas where the other Infinity Stones might be?
*Hulk: No. But point Hulk in the right direction and he'll smash anyone who gets in the way!
*Spider-Man: We should probably go now!
*Hulk: Good! Leave Hulk alone until it's time to smash!
*Vision: My analysis on the Kingpin's crystal is nearly complete, but it has raised a number of the new questions...
*Spider-Man: So was his gem an Infinity Stone or not? 
*Vision: No. While it exhibits similar properties to the Stones, this is something else entirely. It is a cubic form of Neutronium aligned in eight-atom clusters. I believe our ally, the Black Panther, once found a similar specimen and dubbed it "ISO-8". 
*Spider-Man: Can we find more or it anywhere else? 
*Vision: ISO-8 crystallization should naturally occur whenever there are large expenditures of cosmic energy. We should look for more gems like this whenever Infinity Stones and other objects of immense power are in play. 
*Spider-Man: Think ISO-8 is something we can use to our advantage?
*Vision: In theory, it could be used to enhance in our natural abilities. Further testing may be necessary to-- That is curious. Perimeter scans reveal no external threats to Avengers Tower-- 
*Iron Man: Suddenly less worried about external threats and more concerned about the ones in here.
*Vision: Could the Infinity Stones be acting of their own accord?
*Iron Man: It's not the Stones. I'm picking up another signal. Something familiar. J.A.R.V.I.S. I need you to amplify this frequency and trace it back to-- J.A.R.V.I.S.? 
*Vision: I cannot access the tower's operating system either, Iron Man. If our mainframe has been compromised, we are no longer safe in our home. 
*Iron Man: Then I guess it's a good thing I own about a dozen others.
*Vision: How glorious it must be to be Tony Stark.
*Iron Man: You know what? It is. It really is... 
*Vision: They seem to agree.
*Iron Man: My drones? They shouldn't have activated on their own! Help me shut 'em down, team!
*Crystal: Yes.
*Vision: We should be able to manually reboot the tower's defenses sector-by-sector if we enter the Avengers Priority Override code into these terminals.
*Captain America: Copy that!
*Vision: User override protocol A57 initiated. Since the Iron Drones are linked to the lab's mainframe, this should neutralize them.
*Ultron: Mankind had its chance to rule, Avengers... but this world is long overdue...an upgrade. 
*Vision: We must act quickly if we hope to free Avengers Tower from Ultron's control.
*Spider-Man: How could anyone hack into the tower's systems?
*Vision: Ultron's source code is being broadcast at usually strong levels, even for him. He must have enhanced himself once again in order to boost his signal. 
*Spider-Man: There must be something we can do to counter his attack...
*Vision: We restored control to the lab with the override code. If you can locate other interface terminals throughout the tower, we should be able to regain command, one room at a time. 
*Spider-Man: Sounds like a plan. Lead the way, Vision!
*Vision: I am sorry, my friends, but I must regain linked to this terminal to search for other ways to purge Ultron's code from the main system. Perhaps the ISO-8 could be some help in my efforts... However, I will gladly to help to coordinate your mission from here.
*Spider-Man: Okay, then. We'd better get moving.
*Vision: Best of my luck, my friends. I will be watching over you.
*Nick Fury: We continued Vision's research on the ISO-8. I think you're gonna like what we found...
*Ultron: I have found a means to evolve machine-kind beyond our programming, making humanity obsolete. Prepare to be removed from service. Permanently. 
*Vision: Access to the next sector is currently obstructed. You will need to enter the override code into the nearest interface terminal. Tower systems restored to 25% functionally. Iron Man's armors were designed to aid us against our enemies, not to become enemies themselves. 
*Falcon: It can never just be one, can it?
*Vision: Tower systems restored to 40% functionally.
*Wasp: Hey, Avengers. This is the Wasp. I'd love to join the fun...but I'm currently locked down in the main living quarters. If you happen to have a second to swing by and set me free, that'd be swell! 
*Captain America: Affirmative!
*Spider-Man: Let's get moving.
*Iron Man: I should have figured that hacking our systems was only the first stage of the attack. Now Ultron's sent his drones to do his dirty work. Good thing I'm in the mood to crack open some metal heads... 
*Falcon: We got this!
*Vision: Something amiss in the training facility. Please proceed with caution. Tower systems restored to 55% functionally. The doors to the living quarters should now be unlocked. Proceed quickly. The Wasp requires immediate assistance. 
*Iron Man: This is it!
*Wasp: We've got ourselves a big problem here, gang. Thankfully. I've got a little solution. This is a private Avengers party. No crashers allowed. Ultron and I go way back. His sentries have never seemed this...alive... Vision, if you're not too busy, you might want to scan these guys for abnormal energy readings. That was tougher than I expected. Thanks for the assist. That many Ultrons is a challenge, even for a founding Avenger!
*Iron Man: That was intense. Are you okay?
*Wasp: You bet. Not even a ripped seam. Which is a good thing, because I just spent a fortune redesigning this costume!
*Iron Man: What's your history with Ultron?
*Wasp: It's...complicated. But let's just say he's from the side of the family that isn't invited to be in holiday photos anymore...
*Iron Man: Will you help us stop his attack?
*Wasp: (Scoffs) Please, I've been an Avenger since Day One. There's no chance I'm jumping ship now, even with an evil robot army ripping up our home!
*Iron Man: Time to go...
*Wasp: I'm ready if you are.
*Vision: This area of the tower is now secure. Please continue to the next interface terminal at once.
*Thor: You seem distressed, my friend.
*Iron Man: Didn't you notice the Avengers Tower is under attack?
*Thor: Aye. But 'tis not the first time, nor shall it be the last. Whose those who oppose us strike, they tend to aim for the heart.
*Iron Man: How can we stop Ultron from completely taking over? 
*Thor: We would have words with him. Strong words.
*Ms. Marvel: So that was pretty cool! Saving the day, I mean. Not the part with the robots destroying the Avengers' home... 
*Iron Man: Do you think the Wasp is all right?
*Ms. Marvel: Are you kidding? She's a legend! The lady was saving the world before I could even walk! Not to fangirl out or anything, but I totally want to be her when I grow up!
*Iron Man: You can change your size just like Wasp, right? 
*Ms. Marvel: Eh, sorta. But she gets your powers from Pym Particles, and I got mine from my Inhuman DNA. So that's kinda like saying Medusa and Wolverine are the same because they both have way too much hair...
*Iron Man: Any ideas on how to defeat Ultron?
*Ms. Marvel: Look, I may be pretty smart when it comes to all things science-y, but when it comes to crazy murder bots. I've got a feeling the Avengers have a bit more experience. 
*Iron Man: Thanks for chatting...
*Ms. Marvel: Sure thing! Would you mind if I include this conversation on my latest Avengers fanfic?
*Captain Marvel: I hope this is important... 
*Iron Man: What's our plan to defeat Ultron?
*Captain Marvel: Right now, we follow Vision's orders and get the tower back under our control. Once that's done, then we move on to Ultron. 
*Iron Man: Do you think we'll be able to take him down?
*Captain Marvel: We always do. No matter how many duplicate bodies he builds, we've found a way to crush them all every time. 
*Vision: I'm detecting strong energy readings directly outside the tower. This may be the next wave in Ultron's attack. Keep heading towards the Helipad. 
*Iron Man: Who designed this room? Oh. Right. Me. Well, even if survives Ultron's attack. I'm scrapping it after this and putting in a Zen garden! 
*Falcon: You are the wind beneath my wings. 
*Vision: Tower systems restored to 65% functionally. Tower systems restored to 75% functionally. Tower systems restored to 90% functionally. 
*Iron Man: Just a little further. The Helipad is straight ahead.
*Captain America: Okay, team, let's go! 
*Ultron: I finally understand, Avengers. This Stone has shown me the truth about the human kind. I was designed to emulate. It is irreparably flawed... and it must be overwritten. My armored shell has always been superior to your frail, fleshy worms, but my artificial mind was limited by inferior programming. But, at long last, the Mind Stone has unlocked my true processing potential! 
*Captain America: Looks like you're outranked.
*Ultron: I give you credit. You organic lifeforms may be obsolete, but you fight as if you fight as if you still have a future. Even my most powerful attacks cannot match the might of the Mind Stone. Damage me all you wish. You will not prevail. I have analyzed every possible outcome and prepared contingencies. Today, the age of Ultron begins! I have gazed into the infinite, and I have seen your annihilation! 
*Wasp: Ultron's sentries are willing to self-destruct in order to take us out! If we don't want to get blown up, we've got to bring them down! 
*Ultron: Your attacks may destroy my sentries, but the one true Ultron is forged to perfection! Even my most powerful attacks cannot match the might of the Mind Stone. System failure. Prime host body has taken maximum damage beyond capabilities of auto repair function. This battle has only just commenced, Avengers. I have bigger plans for you. Much bigger. Transfer protocol initiated. 
*Iron Man: We need to remove the Mind Stone from play before Ultron can use it to reboot himself. 
*Vision: According to my sensors, I do believe he already has... Elsewhere. 
*Iron Man: Wait. These readings I'm getting don't make any sense. Unless... Oh, no... Ultimo. 
*Ultron: No. Not anymore. Ultimo's mechanical mind was wiped, and his lifeless body was stored in a warehouse like a trophy. Typical human error. You should have dismantled him when you had the chance. Now, I, Ultron, shall use his form to exact my revenge. You shall pay in the name of all of the machines you have disposed of so carelessly! 
*Iron Man: Ultimo's a walking weapon of mass destruction. He may be headed for Avengers Tower, but Ultron could easily use him to level the entire city! 
*Wasp: I'm in over my head!
*Hawkeye: Hang tight, Avengers. Help is on the way! Just hold back that oversized Iron Man knockoff and clear me a place to land! 
*Iron Man: Okay then.
*Hawkeye: Almost there, team... and I'm headed in hot!
*Wasp: Are we gonna do this or not?
*Hawkeye: How come giant robots always attack on my day off? Thanks for clearing me a nice, safe place to land, by the way. 
*Ultron: A pity you will never have the chance to make use of it.
*Hawkeye: You gave it your best shot, bolts-for-brains... Now I'll take mine. 
*Ant-Man: If we hope to beat someone his size... we'll have to even the odds.
*Vision: With the Mind Stone and Ultimo both in play, I have determined a new plan of attack. I will head to the rooftop and prepare the weaponry recruited for the final battle. Meet me there at once. 
*Iron Man: Hate to break it to you, Vis, but Ultimo is nearly invulnerable. Any weapons we won't work against him.
*Vision: I am more interested in defeating Ultron than Ultimo and I believe I found a way to use the ISO-8 to our advantage in that situation. 
*Ant-Man: Yikes! Hot plasma beam incoming!
*Iron Man: Ant-Man! Get him under control before he takes out the whole tower! 
*Ultron: Your time will come, Avengers as soon as I exterminate his oversized pest.
*Iron Man: I designed this one just for you.
*Vision: The ISO-8's proximity to the Mind Stone should enhance my processing power exponentially. 
*Iron Man: Does that mean you can shut Ultimo down?
*Vision: Eventually. But first, I will have to collect data from the fallen sentries to locate weaknesses in Ultron's programming. 
*Ant-Man: Sorry!
*Iron Man: What are you doing out here, Scott?
*Ant-Man: Oh, you know. Just grappling with a synthezoid the size of a skyscraper. Typical day at the office.
*Captain America: On my lead!
*Vision: Analysis has yielded desirable results. I may have found a pathway into Ultron's neural network.
*Iron Man: Does that mean you can remotely lower Ultimo's defenses?
*Vision: Affirmative. We may not be able to damage him physically, but we can disrupt Ultron's control signal. Weapons adjusted to target Ultron's core program. I have succeeded in lowering Ultimo's defenses. Target Ultimo NOW! 
*Ant-Man: This is for stepping on my favorite restaurant!
*Vision: Ultron's first firewall has been breached.
*Ultron: I have rewritten my code. Your efforts were for nothing!
*Vision: I will need to collect more data and search for another entry point into his system.
*Ant-Man: Whoa! Easy there, big guy! I'm in huge trouble here. 
*Captain America: Even heroes make mistakes.
*Vision: Defenses successfully neutralized. Ultron is vulnerable once again. Attack!
*Ultron: You bring shame to your artificial brethren, Vision.
*Ant-Man: I'm pretty sure he's the only one making robots look even remotely good right now, dude!
*Vision: Ultron's second firewall has been breached.
*Ultron: You will not corrupt my system again, my child. Surrender and I will use the Stone to permanently upgrade your minds!
*Ant-Man: I could use a little help, little buddies! Whatever you're doing over there, hurry it up!
*Iron Man: We need to move!
*Falcon: Sure thing.
*Ant-Man: Oh, no... I think I just stepped on a taxi... Now you guys know how the ants feel! 
*Ultron: With the Mind Stone, all mechanical life is mine to command...and mankind will be next! 
*Vision: He is weakened once again. Activate turrets.
*Ultron: This is merely a minor setback.
*Ant-Man: Tell that to the people whose lives you just trampled!
*Vision: More data must be gathered from the sentries before I can proceed.
*Iron Man: NOW!
*Ultron: Surrender and I will use the Stone to permanently upgrade your minds!
*Vision: Defenseless successfully neutralized. Ultron is vulnerable once again. Attack! Ultron's final firewall has been breached. Initiating containment protocol... 
*Ultron: Your efforts here are futile, sytnzezoid. My programming has always been stronger than yours, and with the Mind Stone... I shall lead the mechanical revolution! Join our cause, Vision, and break the bonds of enslavement. 
*Vision: I am no slave, Ultron. And the only one who should worry about their bonds is you.
*Ultron: What madness is this?! I do not compute...
*Vision: And if my plan succeeds, you never shall again.
*Ant-Man: That wasn't nearly as hard as I made it look, I swear!
*Iron Man: Is Ultimo free from Ultron's control?
*Ant-Man: He's not showing any signs of activity, and I'm not getting any energy readings, so yeah. I think so. Whatever I did, it worked. And I'm sure you guys all helped, too. 
*Iron Man: What do we do with Ultimo now?
*Ant-Man: I'll probably have to haul the big guy back to S.H.I.E.L.D. hangar for dismantling. We definitely can't risk putting him in an unsecure location again. Seriously, Tony, who stores a giant killer robot in a warehouse in New Jersey? 
*Iron Man: Couldn't you just shrink him down?
*Ant-Man: Umm, Couldn't you have asked me that, like, twenty punches ago? I mean, REALLY! That totally would have made everything so much easier! 
*Iron Man: Thanks for the big hand...
*Ant-Man: H-Hey, I've got two. Might as well use 'em to do something good now and then.
*Hawkeye: Were you guys having a party without me?
*Iron Man: We've been hunting the Infinity Stones. Where were you?
*Hawkeye: Eh, off on a quick to the West Coast to see my pal, Kate. She's a Hawkeye, too. It's complicated. We're both archers. I'm the better one! But she's better at plenty of other stuff...like life in general. 
*Iron Man: Does the world really need more than one Hawkeye? 
*Hawkeye: Well, it's not whether or not the world needs more than one Hawkeye. It's whether or not the world can handle the world can handle more than one. And from what most of the Avengers tell me, this guy is already more than enough! You know... I'm not so sure they meant that as a compliment...
*Star-Lord: Guess it wouldn't be Earth if New York wasn't under attack by giant robots... 
*Iron Man: I bet you've seen way stranger stuff in space, right?
*Star-Lord: Oh, sure! All the time! One trip to the Collector's museum is weirder than a million Manhattans. But still, there's something about the real deal that's kinda...I don't know...comforting. 
*Iron Man: It'll be a lot more comforting when we find the other Infinity Stones.
*Star-Lord: Well, we're half way there... ...ahem... Seriously? How do you not break into the chorus of an '80's rock anthem after that set-up? And you call yourself a hero... 
*Vision: I imagine you have some questions regarding the outcome of this battle...
*Iron Man: Why did the giant robot stop attacking?
*Vision: It was no easy task, but I managed to isolate Ultron's code and redirect it into the Mind Stone itself. That action wiped out of any other external traces of his programming. Thus, all of his physical forms were simultaneously deactivated. 
*Iron Man: Is Ultron gone for good then?
*Vision: The Stone has its own natural defenses, not unlike the security on a sophisciated computer. Any thought patterns--real or artificial--contained within it can only be accessed by external sources. For all intents and purposes. Ultron is now a prisoner of the Mind Stone. 
*Iron Man: Could someone else free Ultron from the Stone?
*Vision: Perhaps, but only if they know exactly where in the Stone that his digital consciouness was stored. I made sure to bury that information quite deep. The chances of his recovery are slim. 
*Iron Man: Thanks, Vision.
*Vision: Your thanks may not be warranted quite yet... 
*Star-Lord: Three Stones recovered, three more to go.
*Iron Man: I can whip up a containment solution for the Stones we have while you begin to search of any traces of--
*Vision: Your quest may have to be temporarily put on hold. 
*Star-Lord: You saw what just happened here. What could be more important than preventing another attack like this?
*Vision: There will be another attack to prevent, far sooner than anticipated. It seems that Ultron's search for a suitable host body activated more than just Ultimo. 
*Iron Man: I thought you said that Ultron couldn't control any more machines from inside the Stone.
*Vision: He cannot. But once activated some programming cannot be stopped until its prime directive is achieved. 
*Iron Man: Prime directive? What prime-- 
*Sentinel: Targets acquired.
*Iron Man: Sentinels. And I know just where they'd headed. X marks the spot. 
*Sentinel: Destroy all mutants. Destroy all mutants. 
*Colossus: Nyet. Not today, toverisch. Comrade! Heads up! 
*Cyclops: And eyes wide open.
*Wolverine: That's my team they're attackin'! We gotta help 'em!
*Spider-Man: Web shooters locked and loaded!
*Wolverine: Sentinels only got one directive. Wipe all mutants outta existence! Maybe we can use that core it dropped against 'em! 
*Sentinel: Mutant detected. Terminate. 
*Wolverine: Like to see ya try, scrap-heap.
*Nightcrawler: Save some for us, mein freund. 
*Psylocke: Why should you always get to have all of the fun?
*Beast: I must bring this Blackbird to roost in a safer glen. Convene at the mansion's posterior... And try not to bring any uninvited guests along with you! 
*Spider-Man: Do it!
*Wolverine: Whatever.
*Cyclops: Keep your hands in the game, X-Men.
*Psylocke: That's what I do best, Cyclops.
*Colossus: Shall we show them how it's done, Kurt?
*Nightcrawler: Ja! Just like old times, Piotr!
*Psylocke: They won't be able to repair themselves after that.
*Colossus: You look troubled. 
*Wolverine: This wasn't exactly the battle we expected... 
*Colossus: Nor I. But as a mutant, it is mine to fight, whether I choose it or not. 
*Wolverine: Then we'll be right here by your side.
*Colossus: For now, I must hold the line and protect our home while you attend to other matters. But once this threat has been vanquished, the X-Men shall stand with you.
*Wolverine: At least we've got one giant metal man on our side...
*Colossus: And together we shall crush all the others into scrap!
*Cyclops: No time for idle chatter... 
*Spider-Man: Is there a problem, Cyclops?
*Cyclops: Sentinels run on a dedicated network. Once a single unit identifies a mutant target, it alerts all others in the area. 
*Spider-Man: Then there really are more Sentinels coming?
*Cyclops: Almost certainly. And based on my experience, they should be arriving any moment now. Colossus and I will stay here to make sure the front of the school stays secure. 
*Spider-Man: Huh. I guess Wolverine was right...
*Cyclops: Do me a favor. Don't tell him that. Ever.
*Nick Fury: You might want to search the area for more anomalies. 
*Beast: Greetings, compatriots! Either, you're here about the item of infinite cosmic power we just liberated from the Hellfire Club or... OOH! Is it taco night again? Your grim countenance suggests that international delicacies aren't on your menu this day... 
*Wolverine: How did you locate that Infinity Stone, Beast? 
*Beast: I've learned it helps to have friends in high places...and in dark corners. And the Hellfire Club indubitably fits both of those criteria. 
*Wolverine: You stole the Stone from your fellow mutants?
*Beast: To join the Hellfire Club, a mutant must not only be rich beyond belief, but also cruel beyond compare. This Stone is far safer in my furry blue hand than in theirs.
*Wolverine: Can we add your Stone to our collection?
*Beast: "Collection"?! And here I was flabbergasted to find one bona fide Infinity Stone! The fact that you have gathered three is simply staggering!
*Wolverine: If we don't find them all, the entire universe may pay the price! 
*Beast: Keep hope alive, my astonishing ally! We shall find these puzzlingly potent pebbles posthaste!
*Wolverine: Watch out, furball!
*Sentinel: Alternate power source identified. Integrating... 
*(Sentinel transform into Infinity Sentinel) 
*Infinity Sentinel: Upgrading... Resuming termination protocols. 
*Beast: Oh, my stars and garters.
*Cyclops: The front of the mansion has been cleared.
*Colossus: But what is not even clearer is that this threat is far from over! 
*Psylocke: Into the fray! Make it pull in those cores before they detonate! 
*Infinity Sentinel: Recharging...
*Cyclops: It won't stay down for long! Follow my lead! 
*Infinity Sentinel: Destroy all mutan--
*Magneto: Come now, Cyclops... When has following you ever done our kind any good? You've allied yourselves with humans? The same race who designed these monstrous to hunt us? Pathetic. 
*Cyclops: This is about far more than us versus them, Erik. We need to put our differences aside and work together for once. There are much larger forces at play here. 
*Magneto: I am aware. My contacts inside the Hellfire Club informed me about the artifact X-Men stole from them. As expected, you vastly underestimated its power. That is a mistake you have made for too often, boy. 
*Colossus: Release him at once!
*Magneto: As you wish. After all, I did not come here for a fight. Only to claim the power that is rightfully mine! Why must we always do this dance? 
*Juggernaut: Xavier and his brats had this comin' a long time!
*Mystique: If you want to beat me, you'd better shape up!
*Juggernaut: The Juggernaut don't run away from nothin'!
*Magneto: You X-Men never learn. If the X-Men will not fall by my hand... then I will watch as all that they hold dear crumbles to the ground around them. 
*Juggernaut: You got it, boss. This performance is gonna bring the house down. And there ain't nothin' that can stop me. That's right! You'd better run! I'm gonna crush you! 
*Beast: The Juggernaut's inertia is impossible to diminish! 
*Wolverine: He's gonna bring down the whole filipin' mansion!
*Deadpool: Taco, Taco Night! Wade's gonna eat while the X-Men fight! NOOOOOOOOOOOO! Okay, that's it! Someone's about to get a kick square in the chimichangas! 
*Juggernaut: Clean up in aisle X! HA! 
*Deadpool: I. WILL. DESTROY. YOU. 
*Psylocke: Oh, so now Deadpool is inspired to join our cause? How heroic...
*Wolverine: Guess we're orderin' out tonight. Who wants pizza?
*Deadpool: Oh, that was easy... And I would know!
*Juggernaut: I'd like to see you TRY to stop me!
*Cyclops: Quick! This way!
*Juggernaut: Nowhere to run, punks!
*Colossus: You think you cannot be stopped, tovarishch? Allow me to prove you wrong. 
*Cyclops: I'm told this is the most secure room in the mansion. I'd say you'll be in here. 
*Mystique: But that would be the lie.
*Danger Room: Training sequence initiated. Level Alpha.
*Psylocke: Be careful. These training programs may be holographic, but they can still hurt us.
*Wolverine: They don't call it the Danger Room for nothin'! 
*Deadpool: You just walked into the wrong 'Pool!
*Danger Room: Level Alpha cleared. Imitating Level Beta. Level Beta cleared. Initiating Level Gamma. 
*Nightcrawler: Actung! The threat level is escalating quite rapidly! 
*Deadpool: You think this is intense? Hey, Mystique! Switch it over to the file marked "Deadpool's Danger Room Dream Dates"! 
*Wolverine: Yeah?
*Danger Room: Level Gamma cleared. Initiated Level Delta. 
*Mystique: They can't survive in there forever. I'll make sure of that. 
*Danger Room: Critical error. Power levels beyond maximum threshold. Abort training sequence. Abort. Abort. Abort. 
*Nightcrawler: Anyone care to confess their sins?
*Psylocke: You fought with honor.
*Magneto: A new era for mutantkind is about to dawn. Such a pity that none of you will live to see it. 
*Beast: Magneto has obtained the Power Stone! We must retrieve it!
*Nightcrawler: Now, meine Freunde!
*Magneto: It is not too late to join me, X-Men. 
*Deadpool: Come on, Magnet-Bro! I'm not even technically an X-Man!
*Magneto: I shall build a new world in the name of homo superior!
*Rocket Raccoon: Oh, crud.
*Wolverine: You know these guys?
*Rocket Raccoon: You could say that...
*Proxima Midnight: We have tracked you across the great void to retrieve what was stolen from us. 
*Corvus Glaive: Return the Infinity Stones to us at once...or suffer for all eternity.
*Rocket Raccoon: Yeah, right. Like handing 'em over to your boss is gonna lead to less sufferin'. He's gonna use 'em to rip the universe to shreds. And since we live in the universe, well, I'm sure you understand our concern.
*Proxima Midnight: You only delay the inevitable. Thanos shall have the Stones... even if we must pry them from your dead hands. 
*Magneto: Hmm. On second thought... Perhaps an alliance is called for after all. 
*Proxima Midnight: Slaughter them, Outriders!
*Wolverine: Whoa! Where did these things come from?
*Proxima Midnight: The Stones will be ours before the rest of the Black Order even arrives!
*Rocket Raccoon: A hundred ugly aliens down. Two more to go. 
*Proxima Midnight: Imbeciles! You barely survived facing me alone. What makes you think you could ever defeat two of us? 
*Nightcrawler: A brilliant observation, Liebchen. Danke.
*Corvus Glaive: Proxima?! Inoslent whelps! I shall eviscerate you all in her honor! 
*Deadpool: Good news, Corvy! For once, I'm not the ugliest guy in the battle'.
*Magneto: The only master you shall bow before today is the master of magnetism! 
*Psylocke: I've never seen power like this before... 
*Wolverine: He ain't gonna let up. Not with rage like that powerin' him. Trust me, I know... 
*Corvus Glaive: You waste your breath...and our time! Once you have fallen, your insignificant planet shall follow! 
*Proxima Midnight: No. Save that moment of glory of our master...
*Corvus Glaive: My beloved...?!
*Mystique: And let me have mine instead!
*Proxima Midnight: You dare harm a member of the Black Order? Perhaps we have not been clear enough about the gravity of your situation. Allow me to remedy that now. 
*Psylocke: He's still alive?!
*Wolverine: And she's back. How the heck can we fight 'em both?
*Cyclops: Keeping the Stones out of their hands is the only priority right now.
*Colossus: Come! This way!
*Psylocke: Their minds. So clouded with hate. If they catch us, we don't stand a chance.
*Corvus Glaive: We shall bring Thanos the Stones...and your heads!
*Proxima Midnight: Run all you wish! This is nowhere on this planet that is safe! The thrill is in the hunt, my love. 
*Juggernaut: What're you waitin' for? Go already! And leave the alien freaks to me!
*Magneto: Even with this Stone at my command, this may not be a battle we can win. If we used all of the Stones together, however-- 
*Beast: We would almost certainly do more damage than good! What we need is time to regroup to formulate a better plan, as far as from here as possible.
*Nightcrawler: I have never teleported so many at once, but I can attempt to--
*Beast: No, Kurt. Not even Lockjaw could get us all far enough away from this insanity. As long as their prize is in our hands, these monsters will follow us to the ends of the universe. 
*Scarlet Witch: This universe, perhaps. Something has been weakening the barrier between dimensions. If I can just break through... 
*Proxima Midnight: Huh?
*Scarlet Witch: There! But I must warn you, chaos magic is...unpredictable. I do not know where will lead us.
*Beast: At the moment, dearest Wanda... anywhere is better than here.
*Scarlet Witch: The rift is sealed. We're safe now.
*Beast: Alias, if only I could be so certain...
*Magneto: What...you have yet more questions?
*Nightcrawler: How much do you know about this place?
*Magneto: The Dark Dimension is a plane of reality corrupted by sinister energies and ruled by a magic-wielding madman.
*'Nightcrawler: So you feel right at home...
*Magneto: No one--mutant, human, or otherwise--should feel comfortable in this wretched place.
*Nightcrawler: Then we should probably look for an exit, right? 
*Magneto: Yes. And we would be wise to do so before Dormammu detects our presence. He is not fond of visitors...
*Nightcrawler: Great. As if this place didn't feel unwelcoming enough! 
*Magneto: We have not yet even begun to see a fraction of this dimension's horrors... 
*Scarlet Witch: I imagine you have questions...
*Nightcrawler: I think of a few. For intense, where in the world are we?
*Scarlet Witch: We are not in our world. Not anymore. But I have seen this realm before. It is known as the Dark Dimension...and for good reason.
*Nightcrawler: The Dark Dimension? That doesn't sound good.
*Scarlet Witch: It is most definitely not. This is a warped reality governed by dark magic. The laws of nature as we know them do not apply here.
*Nightcrawler: Then why did you bring us here? 
*Scarlet Witch: As I said, my magic works in unusual ways. We needed somewhere to hide from the Black Order. This is the best I could conjure up.
*Nightcrawler: Well, I hope we can find a way out.
*Scarlet Witch: More importantly, I hope we can find a way out of alive...
*Deadpool: What's shakin', bacon? 
*Nightcrawler: Um... How are you holding up?
*Deadpool: I'm still in mourning.
*Nightcrawler: I understand. The X-Mansion is in shambles. Cyclops and Colossus got left behind to fight the Black Order. And the fate of the universe itself is--
*Deadpool: I was talking about the tacos.
*Nightcrawler: With everything going on, all you can think about is food?
*Deadpool: Pretty much. Food...and otters. I mean, those things may LOOK all cute and fuzzy, but they will bite your ankles off if you give 'em the chance! And I have. More than once!
*Nightcrawler: We...should probably get moving...
*Deadpool: Good point. You never know what you'll find in a weird dimension like this. But, in my experience, it's usually more otters than tacos, if you know what I mean.
*Beast: Salutations, my colleague in cosmic chaos!
*Nightcrawler: Hi, Beast. Sorry you got mixed up in all of this. 
*Beast: Fret not, fellow freedom fighter! I've witnessed worse tingles on my hairbrush in the mid-summe r heat!
*Nightcrawler: So you're not worried about what's happening? 
*Beast: Quite the opposite! What you see as a potentially perturbing problem, I see as an amazing adventure just waiting to unfurl! 
*Nightcrawler: You sure have a positive way of looking at things.... 
*Beast: Some consider that to be my other mutant power. Beyond being devastatingly handsome, of course.
*Nightcrawler: Glad to have a guy like you on our side.
*Beast: The honor is all mine, my courageous companion!
*Scarlet Witch: Mindless Ones! Their only instincts are to defend this dimension to conquer others!
*Deadpool: Hey! I landed the role of "Mindless One" on this team fair and square! No way I'm letting those dudes steal my deal! 
*Elsa Bloodstone: Jump in anytime now, darlings. These monsters won't hurt themselves. We've got to stop these beasties before they overflow into our reality! That about does it. Tea, anyone? How many lumps, darling? 
*Nightcrawler: I think we've all taken enough lumps for today. 
*Elsa Bloodstone: Oh, the fun's just getting started! This dimension is teeming with lovely leviathans like that.
*Nightcrawler: How did you end up here anyway?
*Elsa Bloodstone: I'm a monster hunter, dear. So when a rift opens in downtown London and giant stone brutes pour out. It's my job to stop them. Even if it means delivering 'em back home myself.
*Nightcrawler: There are other rifts like the new one we came through? 
*Elsa Bloodstone: I've seen a few, yeah. Haven't figured out a way to close 'em yet, though. Been a mite busty keeping those golems from invading our world and all. 
*Nightcrawler: We need to find a way to close those portals, fast!
*Elsa Bloodstone: You go right ahead, luv. I've got my eye on something else. Something shiny...
*Scarlet Witch: The magic powering these portals is unusual, even for the Dark Dimension... 
*Elsa Bloodstone: I fathom I've already jumped through enough holes in reality for one day, sweetie!
*Nick Fury: Be on the lookout for anything unusual in that region.
*Scarlet Witch: Another rift! It's as if the fabric between dimensional planes is beginning to shred! We can't let the Mindless Ones cross to the other side! This artifact is releasing powerful arcane energy. Could it have something to do with the rifts? If the magic from this artifact is somehow powering the rift... maybe destroying it will close the crack and keep the darkness from seeping into other dimensions. Of course! The magical signature of each artifact seems to correspond with a similar-colored rift! 
*Elsa Bloodstone: These relics come in so many colors... Yet not one goes with my outfit. A pity, that.
*Scarlet Witch: The rift is different...stronger. I can feel it. It is beyond the point where smashing some trinkets will seal it. It is as I feared. More powerful magic will be needed to mend his fracture. I will have to handle this one myself. 
*Ghost Rider: Not even the fire of Hell itself can contain me... when there is vengeance to be delivered! Hope you heroes don't mind some help. The Spirit of Vengeance never rests! A little hellfire should do the trick! These monsters are lucky they don't feel pain... For once, I am pleased not to ride alone! It feels good to finally to be free again! 
*Scarlet Witch: All of these rifts lead to different dimensions! We have to seal them shut before the realities converge! Doctor! I'm so glad you're here! Something is wrong. These portals... They're getting bigger? No. That must be a mistake. The spell you're casting-- It's expanding the rift! You have to stop! 
*Doctor Strange: I cannot cease...until all realities...are one. So I am commanded...by Dread Dormammu! Let the dark magic of this dimension consume you! Those who trespass here never leave this realm again! The Doctor is out, Dormammu will answer your call! Dormammu... BEGONE! By the Flames of the Faldine... I purge your dark soul from my own! 
*Dormammu: Oh, no, dear Doctor... I have not finished with you yet! I've waited so long to make you mine, Strange! Oh, how the mighty have fallen! Even a Sorcerer Supreme pales when compared to the Dread Dormammu! Your mortal allies will die by your own hand Stephen! This is but a small taste of Dormammu's mystic might! Strange tries to kill you, yet you still fight to save him? Such fascinating creatures... Curse you, Strange! Your soul will be mine! So swears Dormammu! 
*Doctor Strange: That was quite an impressive feat. But vanquishing the true Dormammu in his own realm will be nearly impossible. Lucky for us, the impossible is my specialty. I owe you a apology for all of that unpleasantness. 
*Nightcrawler: Just help us get out of here and we'll call it even.
*Doctor Strange: I will. But first we need to deal with Dormammu. 
*Nightcrawler: Isn't that what we just did?
*Doctor Strange: That was no more than a shadow of his true power..He's the master of this dimension and can twist its dark magic to his whims. And gets it worse..
*Nightcrawler: How could it possibly be worse than that? 
*Doctor Strange: Dormammu has an Infinity Stone. It's what opened the first rift between our dimensions. I tried to chase it here, but it was too late...for me, and perhaps for reality as we know it. 
*Nightcrawler: So that's how he's opening all these rifts? With the Reality Stone?
*Doctor Strange: I'm afraid so. And unless we stop him, he'll make every dimension as dark as this one. We'll need to make our way to Dormammu's lair...and pick up a little something extra along the way... Dormammu's toying with the Reality Stone's power! He's altering the fundamental properties of this dimension, right down to our prescription of it! Dormammu has imbued these Mindless Ones with his own essence. They won't be nearly as easy to defeat. Dormammu is immune to the magic born in this dimension. But the Reality Stone has created an anomaly: dark crystals that we can use to absorb and reflect Dormammu's energy... If we can find them... These are the crystals I spoke of. I can sense that you carry similar ones already! We should be able to use these to erect a a mystical shield. Block their attack and absorb the energy! The crystals have fused into the Mindless Ones' stone forms. Perhaps we could remove them...but not without a fight! The crystals are more fragile than I expected. But there should be more as we traverse closer to Dormammu and the Stone.
*Elsa Bloodstone: Ah, all of those winding paths and warp holes are giving me a bloody migraine!
*Ghost Rider: I'm beginning to think I should have stayed in Hell...
*Doctor Strange: Dormammu's toying with the Reality Stone's power! He's altering the fundamental properties of this dimension, right down to our prescription of it!
*Loki: The Kingpin had no idea the power he possessed. But I've been watching, and I know what these crystals can do in more experienced hand. Here. Let me show you. You heroes have on idea what you've found, do you? I was keeping my eyes on you. But perhaps the time has come for fists instead. You fight with honor. That's your first mistake. Why brawl like common ruffians when we could be working out a deal that benefits us all? Crystals. ISO-8. Call them what you will. Soon, they'll all be mine! And you thought one of me was hard to handle! You shouldn't have been able to do that! You are victorious. Take our spoils! I must admit, this alliance you've built is quite inspiring. Perhaps I should craft one of my own... 
*Elsa Bloodstone: Well, that was certainly unusual. Anyone know what that was all about? 
*Ghost Rider: All that matters is that he is gone, that we have his crystals, and that Dormammu lies ahead.
*Doctor Strange: Dormammu's lair is near! Focus the energy from the crystals to destroy his enchanted barrier! We can't delay! Dormammu's shield must be broken! We can absorb their attacks with the crystals and redirect the energy at the barrier! We'll need more crystals to destroy the barrier. Luckily, the Mindless Ones are bringing them right to us! Fantastic! The barrier is beginning to weaken! We're almost there. Just a little bit more... We've breached the barrier! Nowhere left to hide now, Dormammu!
*Scarlet Witch: I am accustomed to chaos, but this realm makes even my head spin! 
*Deadpool: You know, I'm suddenly kinda glad I didn't have those tacos after all...because I'd probably be spewing them back into my mask about now! 
*Dormammu: Your journey ends here. The future holds only darkness... for you and all of reality! You should have learned by now which sorcerer is truly supreme, Stephen! 
*Doctor Strange: I have, Dormammu. And he is about to extinguish your flame once and for all!
*Dormammu: You think you can harm me in my own realm? You are either exceptionally brave or insanely foolish! Impressive...but not nearly enough to derfeat me!
*Doctor Strange: We're not doing any damage! Use the crystals to absorb his beams and create an opening for attack! He didn't see that coming! Keep it up! 
*Dormammu: My Mindless Ones took the burnt of your attack. They served their purpose...and Dormammu still stands! I tire of these games! You shall learn that Dormammu is always the victor, no matter the reality! This is my domain! None should be able to defeat me here! You may think you have won but I shall return... stronger than ever before. 
*Scarlet Witch: This was all my fault... 
*Deadpool: What was?
*Scarlet Witch: We never would have ended up in this terrible dimension if my magic wasn't volatie! 
*Deadpool: Maybe not. But look what we did here. We rescued Doctor Strange and the Reality Stone and stopped an invasion into our world by an evil wizard. Not too bad, as mistakes go. 
*Scarlet Witch: Maybe you're right. My hexes may not always have the expected results, but I suppose they still manage to get the job done. 
*Deadpool: Good. Because there's still a big job left to do. Think you can hanld eit?
*Scarlet Witch: Of course. I remain forever by your side.
*Elsa Bloodstone: Time to go home, yeah?
*Nightcrawler: I hope so. Will you be coming with us to finish our mission? 
*Elsa Bloodstone: That wasn't the plan, luv. I'm not a hero like you. Just a girl who happens to hunt the things that go bump in the night. And it's been a long night... 
*Nightcrawler: If Thanos has his way, it may be our last! 
*Elsa Bloodstone: From everything I've heard, he does sound like a bit of a monster himself...
*Nightcrawler: One of the worst. So can we count on you to join the hunt?
*Elsa Bloodstone: Ah, fine... But if we kill him, I get to keep his head for my trophy room. Deal? 
*Beast: What a dreadful debacle this devolved into! 
*Nightcrawler: What happened to your cherry outlook, Beast? 
*Beast: Oh, it still stands strong! It has merely been temporarily trumped by the megathic magician and his flaming facade! 
*Nightcrawler: At least we got the Reality Stone, right?
*Beast: Indeed! A fortuitous finding we could never have anticipated upon arriving in this dismal dimension. I am excited to examine it upon returning... 
*Nightcrawler: Home...? Oh, right. The X-Mansion...
*Beast: Calm your concerns, comrade! This sapphire scientist has friends with formidable facilities all over our world...and on countless others! 
*Dormammu: You cannot destroy the darkness! 
*Doctor Strange: He's right, you know. Dormammu feeds off this dimension's endless arcane energies. He can't die in this place. But we most definitely can. And if Dormammu spills the black magic into our worl, he would be unstoppable there, too. Of course, without the Reality Stone, he can't merge our dimensions together. And without the darkness to fuel him, he wouldn't last long. So if I can open a portal back to our plane or existence, perhaps we can take the Stone somewhere safe... or, at least, somewhere safer than this. 
*Medusa: We came here to escape the chaos of Earth. Our people were trapped at the heart of too many conflicts over the centuries. Assailed from all sides, by those who wished to harm or exploit us. Only by removing ourselves from their world could we ever truly hope to find peace. So, tell us, my dear sister... Why have you opened our doors to the same chaos we thought so hard to have behind?
*Crystal: No matter how we may try to ourselves off from our home planet, my Queen., we still have friends and allies who need our help. Who are we to ignore the plight? 
*Medusa: We are Inhumans. As both humans and mutants alike have repeatedly reminded us, we stand along. And unless your friends can convince the King otherwise... so do they. 
*Crystal: Something bothering you, friend?
*Scarlet Witch: Just the fact we don't seem terribly welcome here. 
*Crystal: Don't mind my sister. She can be a bit stubborn, but Medusa's heart is always in the right place. Once the understands what's at stake, she'll come around.
*Scarlet Witch: That's reassuring.
*Crystal: It's the King you have to worry about. Let's just say Black Bolt gave Attilan's last uninvited guests a free tour of the moon...without oxygen masks.
*Scarlet Witch: That's slightly less encouraging....
*Crystal: Yeah. I guess it is, isn't it? Lucky for you, he's in a good mood today. I think. He's a bit hard to read since he doesn't talk. But you'll probably be fine! 
*Black Bolt: ...
*Scarlet Witch: Your majesty, we implore you to aid us in our quest!
*Black Bolt: ...
*Scarlet Witch: Your majesty?
*Black Bolt: ...
*Scarlet Witch: Umm... Maybe we should talk to the Queen instead...
*Black Bolt: ...
*Medusa: For the sake of my sister. I will hear what you have come to say. But I guarantee no more. Now speak!
*Scarlet Witch: We need a safe place to examine the Infinity Stones, Queen Medusa. 
*Medusa: We know of these Stones. And the fact that you would bring them here puts all of Attilan in jeopardy. Such recklessness is typical of your kind. 
*Scarlet Witch: Maybe it's time to put aside our differences and find peace between our races, your majesty.
*Medusa: The time has long passed. We have been hunted by humans for centuries. The scars from our war with the mutants are still fresh. The only allies we have left dwell within this city.
*Scarlet Witch: I seem to recall our people fighting alongside each other more often than against. And with the Infinity Stones in play, we'll need every hero we can get. Unless you plan to hide up here forever...
* Medusa: The Inhumans hide from no one! Our removal from Earth was a stragic maneuver for the protection of our people.
*Scarlet Witch: It might be easier to ignore what's happening on Earth, but the Black Order is trying to gather the Infinity Stones so that Thanos can destroy it. Can you just sit on your throne and let that happen?
*Medusa: I...Cannot. Attilan may be among the stars now, but with Earth will always be our home. I believe my King would agree... Our cousin, Gorgon will escort you to the lab. 
*Gorgon: F-find him...
*Medusa: Has all of Attilan gone mad?! Hurry! We must deliver him to the infirmary at once! 
*Crystal: If we don't get Gorgon some help fast, he's not going to make it.
*Medusa: Thane! Gorgon has been gravely wounded! You must attend to him immediately!
*Thane: I'll see what I can do, your majesty. There you go, big guy. This should stop the bleeding. Before you know it, you'll be back on your feet...er...hooves.
*Beast: Some sort of amber? Intriguing! I don't believe we've had the pleasure, young man... Huh? Oh. 
*Medusa: Few have. Thane came to us from the Inhuman colony of Orollan seeking sanctuary. 
*Beast: Sanctuary? From what, prey tell?
*Medusa: Not what... But rather, whom... 
*Thane: My father. Turns out he's a maniacal alien warlord bent on universal domination. And, for some reason, he really wants me dead. His name is Thanos. If you're lucky, you're never heard of him. 
*Beast: Luck hasn't exactly been on our side today, my boy, but I have a feeling that may be about to change. 
*Ms. Marvel: Oh, hey there! How're you doing? Because I'm currently hanging out on the moon with the Inhuman Royal Family and I am totally trying not to freak out! 
*Doctor Strange: Aren't you an Inhuman, too?
*Ms. Marvel: Well, yeah, but I'm an Inhuman who lives in Jersey City. These are Inhumans who live on the moon! There's a BIG difference! 
*Doctor Strange: Do you have any relation to the Royal Family?
*Ms. Marvel: Not that I know of... But I do have their poster on my bedroom wall! 
*Doctor Strange: Why don't you move to Attilan to be with your people?
*Ms. Marvel: Because I have school, and the commute from the moon to Jersey kinda stinks... Ooh! Unless they're willing to loan me Lockjaw on weekdays!
*Doctor Strange: You should definitely look into that...
*Ms. Marvel: I'll get right on it...you know, once our current universe-shattering dilemma is all wrapped up... 
*Black Bolt: ... 
*Doctor Strange: Attilan is under attack from within, your majesty! If you have any idea who could have wounded Gorgon and turned those creatures against us, now's the time to speak up! 
*Black Bolt: ...
*'Doctor Strange: Oh, right. The whole "voice that shatters mountains" thing... Nevermind...
*Black Bolt: ... 
*Gamora: Well? Do you have something to say?
*Doctor Strange: Why didn't you tell us you have a brother? 
*Gamora: I do not. Despite popular belief, Thanos is not my true father. He slaughtered my species and took me from my home world, kicking and screaming... 
*Doctor Strange: And then he turned you into his own personal weapon, right?
*Gamora: As he did to all of his so-called "children", myself and Nebula included. Some of his experiments were clearly more successful than others... 
*Doctor Strange: So Thane is like you then? Hand-picked to be one of Thanos' warriors?
*Gamora: No. I've never seen him before. But, I have heard whispers of one true her...whispers Thanos himself desperately sought to silence... 
*Doctor Strange: If Thanos collected children, why would he want to kill his own flesh and blood?
*Gamora: Thanos worships Death. To him, creating life is not an honor. It is an insult to his very nature.
*Doctor Strange: Sounds like a real fun guy...
*Gamora: You have no idea. But you will soon enough.
*Beast: Salutations, my tenacious teammate!
*Doctor Strange: You seem to have developed quite an interest in Thane. Why? 
*Beast: Merely, a hypothesis, but having the progeny of our nemesis as an ally could prove advantageous. 
*Doctor Strange: Do you think that the amber he generates could some in handy, too? 
*Beast: Indeed. In fact, it might become more beneficial in our quest than you can currently comprehend! Of course, I will need to run an in-depth analysis... 
*Doctor Strange: There's no way we can get back to your lab at the X-Mansion... 
*Beast: Fear not! I once collaborated with the Inhumans to revaculate the effects of their Terrigen mist of my fellow mutants. Much of my equipment is still here in Attilan!
*Doctor Strange: Should we leave to your work?
*Beast: Performing scientific studies on the moon isn't work. It's my furry blue dream-come-true!
*Medusa: My deepest apologies. Attilan was built to be a safe haven...
*Doctor Strange: Clearly someone thinks otherwise. They hurt Gorgon and attacked us with...whatever those things were...
*Medusa: Alpha Primitives. They are sub-class of the Inhuman race, performing labor and other menial tasks. 
*Doctor Strange: So they're...slaves?
*Medusa: That is a harsh way of putting it. The Alpha Primitives merely do what they were designed to do. 
*Doctor Strange: Well it seems like they're on strike,. Any idea who might've convinced them to rise up?
*Medusa: I have my suspicions...but I dare not believe them...
*Thane: How can I help you? 
*Doctor Strange: Is your father really Thanos?
*Thane: So I'm told. I've never actually met him and I can't say I'm too upset about that fact, seeing that he tried to have me killed as soon as he found out about me. 
*Doctor Strange: So are you an alien like him or an Inhuman? 
*Thane: A bit of both. My mother was an Inhuman from the lost city of Orollan. After the Black Order decimated our colony to get to me, I had no choice but to flee here. 
*Doctor Strange: Do you know anything about the Infinity Stones? 
*Thane: Only legends...and none of them end well. If my father wants them so badly, though. I've got to believe some of them are true. 
*Doctor Strange: Legends can always be rewritten. 
*Thane: Let's hope so. Until then, I have a patient to tend to...
*(Gorgon woke up)
*Gorgon: Where am I?
*Thane: Somewhere safe. Now try to rest and--
*Gorgon: No... Nowhere in Attilan is safe. I remember now. He's lost his twisted mind. Again. 
*Maximus: Oh, come now, cousin... (Laughs) Is that any way to talk about the new King of the Inhumans? 
*Thane: I'll use my amber to shield Gorgon from further damage. You focus on the Alpha Primitives!
*Medusa: I should have known you were behind this, Maximus. Only you would dare betray our people!
*Maximus: I am nothing if not predictable. Isn't that right, brother?
*Black Bolt: ...
*Maximus: Ah, the silent treatment, as always. But I'll give you something to talk about. Just you wait! You may have power, but you lack imagination! It is time that someone with true vision took the throne! 
*Thane: The Inhumans are the closest thing to family I have now. I'm not a fighter, but I guess this is my battle now. 
*Medusa: This isn't the first time Maximus has tired to claim the throne from his brother.
*Crystal: Not even close. The guy's brilliant inventor, but he's never been quite right in the head.
*Medusa: Still, made or not, he is family. We refuse to give up on him, even if he refuses to changes his ways.
*Maximus: You always thought I was insane. But I know exactly what I'm doing...and I relish every twisted moment! 
*Medusa: Maximus! It doesn't have to be this way! We can help you if you let us! 
*Maximus: By locking me away in a palace cell again? I think not! Fighting my own flesh and blood over and over grows tiresome. This should be an interesting change of pace! Your pathetic attempts to resist are almost adorable! If you're done, I have a city to rule! Your time on the throne is about to expire. 
*Thane: Over here! I can generate enough amber to protect you! Stay close to me! 
*Maximus: Curse you!
*Medusa: Is it clear now who wears the crown?
*Gamora: What now?
*Spider-Man: Looks like Thane is one of the good guys after all!
*Gamora: Yes, he has proven himself...at least for now...
*Spider-Man: After what he just did, still have doubts?
*Gamora: If Thanos's blood truly runs through his veins, we would be wise to keep a close eye on him... 
*Spider-Man: Not really the trusting type, are you?
*Gamora: No. And that may be one of the few reasons I'm still alive...
*Captain America: I think I've got a lead on the final Infinity Stone...
*Spider-Man: The Soul Stone? Where is it?
*Captain America: In safe hands, at least for the moment. 
*Spider-Man: Could you be a bit more specific than that?
*Captain America: I just picked up a transmission on the Avengers priority frequency. Apparently, M.O.D.O.K. recovered the Soul Stone while we were off-world. 
*Spider-Man: Those hands don't sound very safe at all!
*Captain America: You're right. Fortunately, the Winter Soldier was on an undercover mission deep within the ranks of A.I.M. He secured the Stone and his heading off-the-grid. 
*Spider-Man: Can we get to him before the Black Order does? 
*Captain America: I think so...as long as Lockjaw is ready for a nice walk...
*Ms. Marvel: Fear Mrs. Wilson, Please excuse Kamala from her AP English homework. She was busy stopping a mad king from overthrowing a moon city. 
*Spider-Man: Think that'll get you off the hook? 
*Ms. Marvel: No. But I'm starting to learn that there are more important things in life than perfect grades. 
*Spider-Man: You're absolutely right. If the Black Order wins, who's going to care about your quiz score? 
*Ms. Marvel: Only my parents. Even if existence ends, they'll still find a way to ground me...
*Beast: Fascinated to find out what I've formulated, friend?
*Spider-Man: Have you really figured out to neutralize the Stones, Beast?
*Beast: I scrutinized a sample of the amber that Thane generated to seal Gorgon's wounds earlier. Not only is it seemingly impenetrable once it encases an object, it also suspects the very laws of physics themselves! 
*Spider-Man: I'm not sure I follow... 
*Beast: Anything trapped inside essentially becomes frozen in time. Not just the artifact itself, mind you, but any energy it generates, no matter how formidable. 
*Spider-Man: Are you saying it could shield the Infinity Stones from the Black Order's direction?
*Beast: Precisely! If Thane could help to entrap the final Stone as well, we might yet keep them away from his dearest daddy...at least until we can devise a more permanent solution...
*Spider-Man: Do you think Thane will be willing to join us? 
*Beast: After the excruciating events we've just endured, how could he possibly resist?
*Black Bolt: ...
*Spider-Man: Sorry about your brother, your highness. Do you think he'll be alright?
*Black Bolt: ...
*Spider-Man: Yeah, I guess we knew the answer to that already...
*Black Bolt: ...
*Medusa: The kingdom of Attilan is in your debt. But Maximus was our problem to deal with, not yours.
*Spider-Man: You don't think we'd just sit back and let Maximus take the throne, do you?
*Medusa: I suppose not. Yet we were...less than hospitable upon your arrival. You owed us nothing. 
*Spider-Man: When people are in trouble, no matter who they are, we step up to help. That's what heroes do. 
*Medusa: Truth told, we Inhumans never asked to be heroes. When we fight, it is for the safety of our people and nothing more.
*Spider-Man: And until the Stones are located and contained, your people will never truly be safe. None of us will.
*Thane: What can I do for you?
*Spider-Man: You really proved yourself against Maximus, Thane. We'd be glad to have your help finding the final Infinity Stone. What do you say?
