	+ With the memories of Will Daniels and Grant Ward, Hive flies the Zephyr One, ascending the plane to 100,000 feet with the Absolution Virus warhead onboard
	+ As the Zephyr One ascends to 100,000 feet, Hive and Giyera explain that once the plane reaches 100,000 feet above the Stratosphere, the Absolution Virus will disperse and spread across the majority of Europe. Before the warhead detentions in the air with Hive’s crew inside, they intend to use the S.H.I.E.L.D. Containment Module Daisy Johnson is inside and descended to safety.
	+ Being held captive, Daisy Johnson sees a Primitive being dragged beneath the floor of the Zephyr One and taken out. She then sees Melinda May and Leo Fitz have infiltrated the plane. May explains that she and Fitz have come to rescue her and stop Hive’s plan. As Fitz goes to open the Containment Module, Johnson tells him to stop and that getting her off would put them at risk. May tells Johnson that her powers did not make her powerful or a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, but that May herself did. Johnson, remembering her losses, tells May that she has nothing left, but May reminds her that Lash saved her life in exchange for his own and tells her that she knows what it is like to want to give up, but the pain will always be there.
	+ Hive goes to the docking bay and finds Phil Coulson's hologram projection standing outside of Quinjet. Hive, seemingly not shocked, asked why he is alone. Coulson says he did not want anyone more people dying for his lapses of judgement. Hive figures out he is hiding something, but after revealing his true face and intending to steal Coulson’s real body, Coulson reveals that he is a hologram projection of his body, before rephrasing the “Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi, you’re my only hope” line from *Star Wars: Episode IV: A New Hope.*
	+ Daisy Johnson goes to put the warhead into the Quinjet, attracting Hive's attention. Hive enters Quinjet as Johnson tells him that she intends to fly it away into Outer Space with him inside. However, she and Hive discover Lincoln Campbell had infiltrated the Quinjet and shorted the manual controls so Hive cannot escape. Johnson is pushed away by Campbell, who takes Hive with him on the jet as it launches into the stratosphere, much to Johnson’s dismay.
	+ Johnson dashes to the communications systems, begging Campbell to pick up the other end of the line. When he answers, Johnson plead for Campbell to turn around, but Campbell says that this was his destiny and that he stole the cross necklace from her. Campbell chuckles, jokingly telling her with how it felt right saving the world and his lover at the same time. Campbell goes to say "I love you" to Johnson for the first time, but the communications die and cut out as the Quinjet shuts down.
	+ Looking back at Hive, Lincoln Campbell tells him that even if he swayed him, his powers could not turn the Quinjet's power back on or turn the ship around. Hive accepts this as the truth while looking at the warhead’s countdown reaching down to 1 minute before detonation—Hive solemnly tells Campbell that together, they will experience death as not friends or enemies, something he is okay with but disappointed.
	+ Now floating next to each other, Lincoln Campbell and Hive watch as Earth enters the cockpit’s window, admiring the planet with Campbell expression his solemn delight that he got to see the world before he died. Hive murmurs how beautiful and small the Earth was then he had initially imagined and tells Campbell that he only wanted to make it better. Campbell agrees and acknowledges his goal. Hive asks how he could sacrifice himself to save humanity and his S.H.I.E.L.D. friends when they had flaws too great. Campbell replies simply by saying “They're only human”.
	+ Lincoln Campbell lets go of the cross necklace and watches it drift in front of him and Hive. Mack, Leo Fitz, Jemma Simmons, Melinda May, and Phil Coulson watch from the terminal inside the Zephyr One as the warhead detonation countdown timer reaches 0 and the Quinjet explodes in space: killing both Campbell and Hive while saving the world in the process.

Okoye reminds T'Challa not to freeze when he sees Nakia, teasing him about his love for her. He shrugs this off and drops from the jet, throwing EMP Beads, which attach themselves to the terrorists' cars and disable them. T'Challa then hides in a tree as the terrorists get out of their vehicles. T'Challa engages the terrorists, taking them out with ease, and Nakia steps out to help in the fight. She prevents T'Challa from killing one of the men, who had been forced to join the terrorists against his will.

* In the throne room, Okoye delivers the news that Ulysses Klaue has stolen a vibranium weapon from the Museum of Great Britain, and is due to be in Busan, South Korea tomorrow, where a deal is happening. T'Challa agrees to go to South Korea, and decides to bring Okoye and Nakia.

#### 2nd

* **Arrest of Ulysses Klaue**:
	+ T'Challa's group enters, and T'Challa is surprised to discovers that the buyer is the CIA, led by Everett Ross. All sides remain tense but no one takes action as Klaue enters with an entourage and goes to Ross.
	+ T'Challa confronts Klaue, but the arms dealer uses his weaponized vibranium arm (a special replacement for the arm he lost to Ultron the year before) to cause a distraction and try and escape, with T'Challa's group in pursuit.
	+ Shuri excitedly takes control of a car and drives, with T'Challa on the roof, in pursuit of Klaue, as Okoye and Nakia drive a vibranium car themselves. Klaue's men fire at the vibranium car to no effect, and shoot at T'Challa, allowing him to absorb the kinetic energy. Okoye throws a vibranium spear to take out one of Klaue's cars, and T'Challa unleashes a blast of kinetic energy to take down Klaue himself. T'Challa extends his claws to kill Ulysses Klaue and walks up to him to take him out. However, T'Challa is reminded not to kill with the whole world watching, allowing Ross to take Klaue into CIA custody.

* Klaue is held for interrogation by the CIA. Before Ross enters, T'Challa places his hand on his shoulder and thanks him, subtly placing a listening device on Ross' shoulder. Ross interrogates the arms dealer, who claims that his "supplier" is the Wakandans, with his arm cannon being made from their vibranium. Klaue informs him this is all a front, and he only stole a tiny amount of the precious metal in comparison to the mountain the Wakandans have.
* Nakia notices a van outside that she considers suspicious. She goes to check the security footage and spots that it has been looped. Realizing something is wrong, she rushes to inform T'Challa and Okoye. Nakia gets to her friends, but before she can warn them, the explosions go off and Killmonger breaks into the interrogation room.
* Killmonger shoots at the CIA and Wakandans while Linda and the man they have hired carry Klaue into the back of the van. One of the bullets is aimed at Nakia, but Ross jumps in the way to stop it killing her, hitting him instead. Killmonger then throws a grenade to keep the group from chasing after him, but T'Challa, activating the Panther Habit, leaps onto it to absorb the energy of the explosion. As the attackers get away with Klaue, T'Challa notices a Wakandan royal ring around the main assailant's neck.

* Okoye catches up with T'Challa and ushers him inside to check on Nakia. They find her safe and well, but standing over Ross, who has been severely injured.

* W'Kabi visits T'Challa to ask where they have Ulysses Klaue, but the king sadly admits to his friend that Klaue slipped through their hands.

* **Assassination of Ulysses Klaue**:
	+ Arriving at a junkyard where their getaway plane is waiting, Killmonger says he wants Klaue to drop them off in Wakanda. The arms dealer refuses, saying they would be crazy to go there, and Killmonger becomes angry, pointing his gun at Klaue. Klaue grabs Linda, but Killmonger unsympathetically kills her to remove Klaue's leverage, then pursues him across the junkyard. He eventually catches up to Klaue, reveals his War Dogs Tattoo inside his lower lip, and shoots him again, killing him.

* King T'Challa visits Zuri in the City of the Dead and asks him what happened to N'Jobu. Zuri is reluctant to reveal what happened in 1992, having promised T'Chaka to keep it secret, but T'Challa demands the truth as the new king. Zuri sadly confesses what happened, explaining how N'Jobu pulled a gun on him, and T'Chaka reacted by turning and attacking his brother to save Zuri, unintentionally stabbing him in the chest with the Panther Habit claws. Zuri is ashamed as he then tells T'Challa that he and T'Chaka made the decision to leave N'Jobu's son behind.

* As morning arrives in Wakanda, Killmonger lands his plane at the border of the country and walks to meet with the Border Tribe, carrying a body bag behind him. W'Kabi goes to speak with him and asks what the bag is for. Killmonger claims it is just a "gift", and W'Kabi looks down to see the body of his parents' killer, Ulysses Klaue. Pleased but stunned, he asks the apparent foreigner who he is.
* Everett Ross wakes and reaches for his back, but finds no injury. He confusedly gets up, and goes over to Shuri. Shuri explains that he is indeed in Wakanda, and that their advanced technology has allowed her to do what he previously thought impossible: heal a bullet wound in just one day. Shuri shows him inventions such as the magnetic levitation train and sonic stabilizers which temporarily deactivate vibranium and allow it to be transported. She then receives a message from Okoye via her Kimoyo Beads, informing her that a Wakandan has come to the border, showing an image of Killmonger. Ross, however, recognizes him and says that he cannot be Wakandan, as he works for the CIA.

#### 4th

* Everett Ross tells them about the man who has arrived in Wakanda, Erik Stevens, also known as "Killmonger", and his history in the United States Navy SEALs, his numerous kills fighting in Afghanistan, and time in a JSOC ghost unit. Shuri informs her brother of Stevens' War Dogs Tattoo, but that they have no record of him, and T'Challa silently works out the man is N'Jobu's son.

* Killmonger meets with the Tribal Council to announce that he wants the throne, and for Wakanda to arm the 2 billion African diaspora around the world with vibranium so they can fight for themselves. T'Challa claims that he is only king of Wakanda and needs to focus on his people, not the people around the world. Killmonger then coaxes the Tribal council into asking who he is, and announces his true identity as N'Jadaka, son of N'Jobu. He challenges T'Challa for the throne, and T'Challa decides he must accept.
* **Incoronation of Erik Killmonger**:
	+ The challenge begins, with T'Challa using a sword and shield and Killmonger wielding a sword and spear. T'Challa manages to beat his cousin down, holding his sword over him and requesting that he yield. Killmonger refuses and the duel continues. T'Challa manages to slash Killmonger's face. However, he becomes only more aggressive in retaliation, fighting back and managing to kick T'Challa down. While the king manages to stand up and resume fighting, Killmonger takes the advantage opportunity, slashing his foe's leg and then his midriff. Finally, he gets in close to T'Challa and uses the spear to stab him in the gut. Zuri suddenly steps in to block him. He tells the challenger that he is to blame for N'Jobu's death and that if Killmonger is going to kill someone, it should be him. Killmonger simply decides to kill both men and spears Zuri in the stomach.
	+ Shuri and Ramonda are distraught by T'Challa's apparent death, and Nakia ushers them away to safety before Killmonger can take any further action. Killmonger is given the necklace of the king, crowning him as Wakanda's new leader.
* A Jabari fisherman at the bottom of the waterfall is collecting food for the tribe, when he comes across T'Challa, barely alive. He picks him up and takes him to the mountains, and on arrival, M'Baku buries him in snow to keep him comatose, but sustained and alive.

* Nakia goes to see Okoye for help in the fight against Killmonger. However, Okoye refuses, as she is loyal to the throne, and has to be no matter who sits upon it, so long as they achieved their position through fair means - and Killmonger did, winning in fair ritual combat. Nakia goes to collect Everett Ross and get him to safety. She informs him of T'Challa's apparent death and takes him with her to meet with Shuri and Ramonda and get away.
* Killmonger lays down in the City of the Dead to go through the traditional ritual of new kings visiting the Ancestral Plane, and he sees his father, N'Jobu. He laments not taking his son back to Wakanda to get away from the difficult life they had in California, and says that he fears even now, he will not be accepted in Wakanda. Killmonger wakes from the induced state, and orders that the heart-shaped herbs be burned, to prevent anyone other than himself from ever becoming the Black Panther. Before the burning begins, Nakia scoops one herb out of the ground, taking it with her.

#### 5th

* As morning comes in Wakanda, Killmonger finally takes his seat on the throne. The council of the tribe elders convenes and discuss Killmonger's plans. W'Kabi explains that the outside world's technology is catching up with theirs, and they need to ensure they are the conquerors rather than letting themselves become the conquered. The new king then sets the Wakandans to work on his plans to use vibranium technology to strong-arm the African diaspora across the world.
* Night falls, and Nakia, Ramonda, Shuri, and Everett Ross are taken to meet with M'Baku. They ask for his help, but he shows reluctance, and tells them to follow him. M'Baku leads the way and shows the group that T'Challa is not, in fact, dead, but they have him preserved in a vegetative state in a mound of snow after their fisherman found him. They feed T'Challa the herb and bury him completely with the snow, allowing him to visit the Ancestral Plane once again.
* In the Ancestral Plane, T'Challa speaks with T'Chaka once more. He confronts his father about the decision he made to abandon Erik Stevens as a child. T'Chaka insists that he made the decision to protect the stability of the people, but T'Challa tells him he was wrong in that action, and that he was wrong in all his negligence towards the rest of the world.

* Shuri returns the Panther Habit to her brother and tells him she will fight by his side, with Nakia and Everett Ross agreeing to help in the battle as well.

#### 6th

* A few hours later, Killmonger sets his plan into motion, preparing ships to distribute vibranium weaponry to the African diaspora, with W'Kabi's help. The first ship takes off, but does not make it far before suddenly falling out of the sky. Confused, Killmonger looks on at the wreckage on Mount Bashenga and sees the Black Panther emerge from behind it, climbing over the top and making his way towards his cousin. Okoye expresses her delight at her king and friend's survival. T'Challa lets down his helmet to talk with Killmonger, calling out that he never yielded, and since his is not dead, their challenge is not yet over. Killmonger insists that that is of no consequence and orders the remaining ships to launch.

* **Battle of Mount Bashenga**:
	+ W'Kabi remains loyal to Killmonger and sends the Border Tribe to attack T'Challa, but the Dora Milaje, led by Okoye, turn on the usurper and fight back. T'Challa begs his friend to stop the fight, but W'Kabi refuses, blowing a horn to summon war rhinoceroses.
	+ Shuri reaches the land and uses the gauntlets to blast opponents out of the way. Using a communication device, she gives Ross further instructions to pilot a ship remotely, and he takes off to stop Killmonger's ships from leaving.
	+ Black Panther continues to fight alongside the Dora Milaje against the Border Tribe, taking down one of the rhinoceroses. One stampedes him, damaging his suit.
	+ Border Tribesmen attack T'Challa while he is incapable of fighting back, but the kinetic energy begins to be stored again in the Panther Habit. As he is attacked, T'Challa sees his sister in peril and finds it in himself to get back up, wanting to help her. He lets out another kinetic blast and goes to save her.
	+ As Killmonger moves in to kill Shuri, T'Challa suddenly leaps to tackle him, and the two men fall into the Great Mound together.
	+ T'Challa communicates with Shuri and asks her to turn on the maglev train, knowing its sonic stabilizers interfere with their Panther Habits and will make his opponent more vulnerable, but it will also expose T'Challa. As it goes past, the men are separated either side of the track. T'Challa tells Killmonger he has become the thing he hates and will see the world divided, but Killmonger claims he owes the world nothing, as it took everything away from him, and now he is simply settling the score with T'Challa, killing everyone he cares about.
	+ As the battle on Mount Bashenga continues, the Border Tribe encircle the greatly outnumbered forces fighting for T'Challa. They activate their energy shields and close in on the group to finish the fight. Just as all seems lost, the Jabari Tribe arrive, having had a change of heart, and attack the Border Tribe from the side. T'Challa's allies escape the circle and become able to fight back.
	+ The ship Everett Ross is remotely flying is attacked by Killmonger's forces. It starts to fail, but Shuri advises Ross via communication devices on how to escape. He controls the ship to let out a sonic overload, breaking free of the enemy ships' restraints. The ship begins to fall, but it reboots just in time to not crash. Ross then manages to shoot down the final ship just in time to leave Shuri's lab before Killmonger's forces can break through the glass, and gets himself to safety.
	+ W'Kabi charges at M'Baku on a rhinoceros, but just as he is about to hit the Jabari chief, Okoye steps in to stop her husband. Recognizing Okoye as a friend, the rhinoceros stops, and Okoye then holds her spear up to W'Kabi. He reluctantly drops his weapon, leading the Border Tribe to submit, and ending the Battle of Mount Bashenga.
	+ T'Challa makes a sudden move, twisting around Killmonger to get back onto the track and simultaneously striking his cousin's arm, knocking his knife out of his hand and into the air. As T'Challa gets around him, he catches the knife as it falls back down and swings it into Killmonger's chest. Killmonger accepts his defeat. He tells T'Challa that his father told him that Wakanda was the most magnificent place in the world, and he had always wanted to see it in its beauty.
	+ The cousins rise on the elevator and out into the light. T'Challa stands and Killmonger kneels on the rocks to witness the beautiful sunset over Wakanda, as N'Jobu had told him stories of for all his childhood. He succumbs to his wound and dies watching the sun go down.

* While he should be in school, Spider-Man instead finds Aaron Davis and webs him to his car.

* After he leaves, Pepper Potts comes through the door to ask Stark what they are going to do to please the press waiting for them, and he asks Happy Hogan if he still has the engagement ring on him, which he confirms, saying he has held onto it since 2008.
