Ground Zero

Emmett Baxter goes to a hospital and has surgery. He undergoes a liquid diet, and tells the story of his leg, he meets a doctor, who checks to make sure he’s doing good.

After the ride home, Gunner is tired and immediately falls asleep. He dreams of the doctor in a white suit, working on a machine, who talks to him in the dream. Gunner walks outside and finds him in his backyard.

He gets the machine from Doc. Gunner meets Leah, who reveals that Gunner will create her in 5 years. She also helps him navigate the machine

The next day, Gunner makes Kylo Ren, Stormtroopers, and a TIE fighter. Gunner is defeated almost immediately by them, but he manages to get to his machine to summon Luke Skywalker. Luke arrives just in time to save Gunner, defeating the army, but Kylo escapes in a TIE. Luke asks Gunner who he is, and Gunner says, "A kid who just made a huge mistake."

1 month later, Gunner and the army are searching for Kylo. Gunner has to work nights, and sleeps in the Speed Force to gain sleep, but Gunner has a Time Remnant at the ready, a trick he'd just learned from Eobard Thawne. One day, Luke asks if he can lift Bumblebee yet, but Gunner feels too malnourished to. Luke takes him to a Swamp in the Congo Basin, and tells him he can train him. The two spend the next 2 months in the swamps, similar to Dagobah. After Gunner lifts Bumblebee, Luke, and a few tree, Luke says Gunner is ready. Gunner then gets commed by Tony Stark to get back to base.

After an unknown enemy sabotages the base, Gunner realizes he needs more tech-savvy people. Luke tells Gunner he needs to spend more time as a kid, or he won't be able to grow. Gunner says he can do both, and brings in Harley Diaz and her family. They realize that Starkiller Base exists and someone has been creating villains and sending them to the base.

After going through suspects, Gunner suspects Captain Barbossa. Barbossa says he's a man with honor, but Gunner disagrees. The captain later clears his name by finding the imperial probe plugged into the machine. He stabs the droid, which short-circuits and sends multiple villains to the base. Ultron, Grant Ward, Davy Jones, Weather Wizard, and Count Dooku all arrive on Starkiller Base, alongside Bellatrix Lestrange. They all try to kill each other, with only Ward and Lestrange left. Ren finds and recruits them.

Gunner realizes that Kylo must have built the droid using TIE tech. He realizes he needs an insider, and sends Snape to Starkiller Base to gain info. Bellatrix does not trust him, so he says he has no reason to help his friends and all the reason to aid his enemy. He begins giving info to both sides.

Gunner and his army attack the Base, but nearly all are demolished by magic traps and TIEs. Gunner tries to sneak into the reactor and detonate the planet, but Snape stops him. He reveals his true loyalty is to Ren because Gunner’s death will give them control of the machine, and thus bring back Lily. Gunner then gets an alert from Harley that the base is being attacked by Lestrange, and Snape apparates.

Dumbledore and Gunner arrive to help and find the base a ruin. Gunner runs to the machine, while Dumbledore helps survivors, and kills bad guys. Gunner finds Harley tied up, and upon freeing her, learns Lestrange has gone after the machine and killed her family. As they rush to stop her, they fill each other in. They find Lestrange finishing off the Iron Legion. Gunner rushes after her, and the two duel. Harley tries to shut the machine down, but it is already making Voldemort. Lestrange fires at Harley, who has nearly stopped the machine. Lestrange fixes it with magic and subdues them both. The machine sends Voldemort to the Base just as Harley uses the arm of an Iron Legion bot to shoot the machine. This knocks Gunner back and disintegrates Harley, but Lestrange blocks it. The explosion, as well as prior damage causes a collapse. Gunner grabs her wand, stuns her, snaps the wand, and escapes, shocked. Lestrange dies in a fiery crash.

Among the casualties are: Flitwick, Seamus, c3po(nobody is really torn up), Grover, Wally, and the DeLorean. Gunner has a dream vision. He dreams that Voldemort fills Lestranges’ role as 2nd. He has an issue with Ren in charge. He also has no (known) horcruxes, meaning he’ll die immediately. Ward reveals to him Harry is still a horcrux. Ward tells Voldemort that, in order to kill everyone and secure his power, he’ll have to save Harry.

Having learned Gunner’s “night-jobs”, the Dark Order attacks while Gunner is at school. However, Gunner waits until the end of the school day, and using a time turner, teleports out with a secretly stationed Lupin. During the fight, Gunner realizes they’re after Harry, and reveals to him he’s a horcrux. Gunner and Harry trick Ren into thinking he is Frodo, and is killed. Sensing it, Voldemort leaves, and Ren and Ward escape, while their army is forced to retreat. Gunner, still enraged by the attack on his home, and angry with guilt, pulls an escaping troop transport into a Star Destroyer bridge, causing it to crash. Luke sacrifices himself to save the remaining army from crashing debris. He is shot by Ward, and Gunner narrowly escapes.

With no leader, no friends, and a disheartened and ruined army, Gunner temporarily removes himself from the war. Gunner is then visited by Luke as a ghost, who tells him that he had everything he needed. Gunner says the army has no leader, but Luke says he was never the leader, or Dumbledore. Gunner was. Luke also tells him the reason the doc knew to give him the machine, and how he got around was because he was time-travelling. The doc was Gunner from the future. Gunner asks why he had a time-turner. Luke says he thinks that Doc had a backup plan for if the Time Sphere failed. Luke tells him he is the last hope, and calls him their White Knight.

Gunner sends a message to Ren, telling him that this ends today. He gives him coordinates to Camp Hensel, and says all-or-nothing time is here. Gunner has another plan up his sleeves, and goes to Hensel. He meets Ren, Ward, and Voldemort in the [big lunch room] and explains he chose camp because it’s where his heart is. He asks why they still want to kill him, with the machine destroyed. They tell him that the machine isn’t the only bridge between worlds. Gunner says he doesn't understand, and Ward says it doesn't matter. Gunner says he knows that Ren left some of his army as a failsafe. He says he knew and his army is prepped for battle. When Voldemort laughs at him for being gullible, Gunner reveals his combat air fleet is headed for Starkiller Base, and the army attacks him.

Gunner takes out multiple troopers, as the trio separates. Ward heads to the Cabins nearby. He is followed by Cisco, Leia, Daisy, Chewbacca, and Gunner. Voldemort flies atop the Bluff and starts sniping enemies. Ren is in a battle with Ron, Hermione, and Campers from CHB. Han saves Indiana Jones from troopers. Thor and Tony take down a Star Destroyer. Another one tries to crash into the camp, but all the Jedi stop it. Ethan Hunt, Indiana Jones, and James Bond (Craig) team-up. Han faces Ward in a shoot-off and wins, saying “That’s for Luke.” Voldemort kills Hulk, Annabeth, Frost, and Piper. Jason, Thor, and Flash all shoot lightning at the Bluff, forcing Voldemort to Apparate, and a barrier restricts him from leaving the camp. He and Ren land behind Gunner, kill Han and Ron and tell him he has lost.

At Starkiller, Dumbledore, Yoda, Obi-wan, Percy, and Lando, and Chewie lead the assault, with the latter two flying the Falcon to destroy the base. The rest sabotage the base, disabling weapons and shields and freeing some prisoners. Oliver Queen finds a room of dead villains, and their blood is being drained into a tiny chamber. They realize Ren’s quest for power involves killing Gunner for his blood. Snape duels Sirius and Frank Zhang. Zhang is defeated, and Sirius defends him. Snape nearly kills them, but Leo rides in on Festus, and nearly knocks Snape into the reactor, leaving him dangling, too injured to apparate. He lets go and falls into the reactor. This, combined with the Falcon’s successful infiltration, cripples the base. Nearly everyone escapes, with McGonagall, Neville, Hawkeye, Wolverine, Optimus Prime, and Will Turner dying in battle.

Gunner is being led away by Ren to a ship, intending to make him watch his friends die, then use his blood to rebuild his empire. Gunner keeps annoying and delaying him until they feel Starkiller Base explode. He and Ren duel inside the ship. Voldemort kills Frodo, Mr. Incredible, a Raptor, Peeta, and Jean Grey. He engages in a duel with Gandalf, Violet Parr, and Wanda, who defeat him but leave him alive. Ren and Gunner nearly crash, but a giant pillow suddenly materializes under them. He turns it into Avengers Tower. They duel as everyone around them continues to battle the army. Gunner keeps changing the objects around them and almost wins. Gunner gets grazed on the shoulder causing him to drop his lightsaber. Ren says he’s going to watch as his friends die. Then he will truly die alone. Pietro appears beside him, gives him his saber back, before Ren knocks him off Stark Tower, and Gunner knocks Ren off, before leaping after him.

He misses. Gunner’s saber handle is cut in half, and Gunner says he's out of ideas. The team, having defeated Ren’s army, arrives to help, but tells them to stay back, or Gunner dies. Jesse Quick uses her speed to crush her chest. Ren says Gunner’s power proves what he said earlier. He’s the bridge. Gunner understands he has the powers of his machine. That's why it didn't kill him. It's why the pillow appeared. Then he remembers Harley. He remembers Luke. He remembers everyone who has died. He hears a voice in his head, telling him to use the power. Determined, he force-grabs Ren's saber and turns it to dust. He concentrates, and the whole army disintegrates. Gunner says he watched what happened to his friends, and this is for Harley, Luke, and everyone else who has died. Cap asks him if he can kill another person at his mercy. Gunner hesitates, and Ren hits him over the head with a rock. He says Gunner speaks of avenging, and yet he’s the reason for their deaths. Angry, he force-pushes Ren through the wall of Stark Tower and crumbles the building.

Back at his home, Gunner is patched up. He has tried to bring back all the dead, but his powers won’t let him. He does make a multiverse for each “series”, where all the deceased characters will be alive. However, characters who died in the show will die in the world upon entry. Additionally, everyone’s memories will be dormant, but still there. Cisco makes him a portal maker to visit them, and he tells them all he’ll be in touch. Gunner thanks the team for his underground base. As everyone leaves, Gunner turns around to see Luke, who tells him it's not over. Gunner says he knows. The Doc said the next few years would be rough. Now he has a team to help. He asks if Luke can go between worlds. Luke says he's a ghost and can do a bunch of stuff, just not go his world. He bids Gunner goodbye, thanking him for his funeral. As he leaves, his mom comes out to get him, telling him to pack for camp. Gunner says he can't wait to be back.
