## History

### Background

It all started with an evil alien warlord named Thanos, also known as the Mad Titan who destroyed his own home planet, Titan. After Red Skull was defeated by the Avengers from the Attack of Cosmic Skull, he was teleported into space where he gave a powerful cosmic artifact known as the Tesseract to Thanos. But at some point, Red Skull betrayed Thanos and stole his Infinity Stones which were five powerful comic artifacts that could control the five components of the Universe itself which were Power, Time, Mind, Reality, and Space. Red Skull escaped to Earth with them in a ship with Thanos' drone ships chasing him which the Avengers stopped. During the fight, the ship was destroyed which scattered the Infinity Stones on Earth with Red Skull crashing down in a chunk on the ship only having the Power Stone. When the Avengers found him, Red Skull desperately pleaded with them for help as he started screaming in madness about Thanos who was coming to Earth to reclaim the Infinity Stones. The Avengers were able to fight off Thanos' robot army and contain the Power Stone with help from a robot named Arsenal who was designed by Iron Man's father, Howard Stark to be Iron Man's best friend. Who the Avengers found in a gamma reactor core in a Russian city known as the Last Forest and had the power to contain large amounts of energy within himself which he places in a parrel dimension. Arsenal was able to defeat a whole fleet of Thanos' robots and drone ships, including a big ship that had Thanos on it which the Avengers didn't know about. After that, Red Skull was imprisoned in Avengers Tower for questioning about Thanos but was too traumatized by Thanos to talk. However, Thanos tried to reclaim the Infinity Stones by attacking the Watcher on the Moon and knocking him down to Avengers Tower as an invitation to fight the Avengers. The Avengers fought off Thanos on the Moon by having Arsenal attack him using a special weapon made by the Watcher's tech and power from the Power Stone. But Thanos was able to take back the Power Stone from Arsenal using the Infinity Gauntlet and was about to use it to destroy Earth. Until the Avengers fought off Thanos using Titan armor and blasted Thanos halfway across the Universe by having Arsenal unleash all the powerful energy he was containing which destroyed him in the process. The Avengers believed that the Power Stone was destroyed but it survived and was still in Thanos' possession. The Avengers then started looking for the other Infinity Stones starting with the Time Stone that got stuck in Iron Man's Arc Reactor and was slowly de-aging him and causing time slips until it was removed after Iron Man defeated Red Skull who wanted to get it after he escaped from his cell and was de-aged to his younger and saner self. Then the Avengers got the Mind Stone which was bonded to M.O.D.O.K. who used it to take control of S.H.I.E.L.D., transfer his consciousness into the Tri-Carrier, and switch the Avengers' minds but the Avengers managed to defeat him and switched their minds back. Then they got the Reality Stone after it was found by the Squadron Supreme who used it to change reality to make it to where they were the heroes and the Avengers were the villains. Then they tried to erase the Avengers from reality but the Avengers were able to see through the fake reality and change it back to normal. Finally, the Avengers got the Space Stone which was found by Loki who used it to escape Valhalla with an army of undead Asgardian Warriors and tried to use it to pull both Earth and Asgard into each other but he was stopped and imprisoned in Asgard.

However, the presence of the Infinity Stones was starting to corrupt Iron Man with the temptation of using them so Black Widow and Thor stole them to keep them from corrupting anyone else since Black Widow was immune to the temptation because of her S.H.I.E.L.D. training. With reluctant help from Hulk, Black Widow and Thor tried to hide the Infinity Stones in Asgard but the stones corrupted Heimdall too so they escaped back to Earth but were confronted by the Guardians of the Galaxy who were also corrupted by the stones. But Black Widow and Thor fought them off and teleported them away with help from the rest of the Avengers after Iron Man came to his senses and Hulk vouched for Black Widow. After that, the Avengers went to Doctor Strange to banish the Infinity Stones between realms but then Dormammu arrived to claim the stones with an army of Mindless Ones. So Black Widow gave into the temptation and used the Infinity Stones to defeat Dormammu and the Mindless Ones but then she soon goes mad with the power until the Avengers managed to get her to come to her senses. But then Thanos arrived back on Earth and took back all the Infinity Stones with the Infinity Gauntlet then escaped back into space with them. The Avengers were able to fight off Thanos on his spacecraft that he created with the Infinity Stones and defeated him before he could destroy the Earth with the Infinity Gauntlet with help from the newly rebuilt Arsenal who Iron Man upgraded to contain the power of all the Infinity Stones then Thanos was later turned him over to the Guardians of the Galaxy for his crimes. However, Arsenal was taken over by Ultron who drained the power from both the Infinity Stones and the Infinity Gauntlet. With the power of the stones, Ultron planned to destroy all of humanity by stealing tech from both Justin Hammer and A.I.M. to make him more powerful. Iron Man was able to develop a malware to destroy Ultron but because of his personal attachment to Arsenal, Iron Man kept his plan to find Ultron secret which put the other Avengers in danger. The malware also didn't fully destroy Ultron because Iron Man didn't use its full power so he could try to save Arsenal which caused Captain America to leave the Avengers and join S.H.I.E.L.D. due to losing his trust in Iron Man. Iron Man tried to replace Captain America with Spider-Man so the Avengers could continue fighting Ultron who had taken control of the Super-Adaptoid. Captain America also fought against Ultron for S.H.I.E.L.D. but during a fight against him at Roxxon, some of the Avengers found out that Iron Man had been keeping them in the dark about Ultron's activities. Ultron also tricked Captain America's S.H.I.E.L.D. squad into coming after mimicking Captain America's voice which were L.M.D.'s that Ultron took control of and reprogrammed into his own personal army while revealing that the attack on Roxxon was just a setup. Ultron then tricked S.H.I.E.L.D. into attacking the Avengers with S.H.I.E.L.D. Drones after mimicking Captain America's voice then when Hawkeye shorted out the Super-Adaptaoid, Ultron transferred back into Arsenal. Ultron later attacked Avengers Tower to get control of Iron Man's armors after being lured there by Iron Man as part of a trap which worked until he found out that the trapped Ultron was just an L.M.D. Then the real Ultron arrived and took control of both Iron Man's armors, the Avenjet, and J.A.R.V.I.S. after mimicking Iron Man's voice then Ultron tried to drop down Iron Man's satellites on the Earth. But it was all stopped by Iron Man who fried everything in the Stark Industries network including both J.A.R.V.I.S. and Avengers Tower except for his own armor but Ultron was able to escape it. However, this caused some of the Avengers to get upset with Iron Man and his actions which caused Spider-Man to leave as he could not deal with Iron Man and Captain America's arguing. After that, the Avengers split up into two groups with Hawkeye and Thor siding with Iron Man as the Avengers since they supported his actions and ideas. While Black Widow, Falcon, and Hulk sided with Captain America and S.H.I.E.L.D. as they had also lost their trust in Iron Man because of his actions and ideas which was all part of Ultron's plan to divide and conquer them.

But while they were separated, Iron Man, Hawkeye, and Thor tried to repair Avengers Tower and recruited Ant-Man to be a member of the Avengers after he helped them fight against M.O.D.O.K. who got big after having A.I.M. steal some Pym Particles. While Captain America, Black Widow, Falcon, and Hulk became the Secret Avengers but didn't like how Nick Fury kept forcing them to follow orders without question during a mission where they dealt with a Russian superhero team called the Winter Guard then Nick Fury told them to bring in the Avengers after they caused a lot of collateral damage from their heroics. The Secret Avengers confronted the Avengers to bring them into S.H.I.E.L.D. while they were in Central Park looking for Ultron but then Falcon noticed something. Suddenly, Ultron took over Falcon after turning himself into a nano-virus which turned Falcon into one of his Ultron Sentries and attacked both teams of Avengers. So both teams tried to save him but were uncoordinated since they weren't working together which allowed Ultron Falcon to escape underground and started spreading the nano-virus to other people at a subway station, turning them into more Ultron Sentries that do the same thing to other people. Both teams of Avengers fought them off and Ant-Man was able to trap Ultron Falcon in a jar after shrinking him. But then Nick Fury reported that Ultron was attacking all over New York City and spreading the nano-virus to people using one of the L.M.D.s he took over from S.H.I.E.L.D. So both teams of Avengers decided to work together to stop the Ultron Sentries while Ant-Man tried to free Falcon from Ultron's virus at his ant hill lab. With Hulk and Hawkeye trying to bring the Ultron L.M.D. down while Thor and Black Widow try to contain the people who were transformed into Ultron Sentries. Captain America and Iron Man both tried to find Ultron Prime which they did at Avengers Tower where they fought him off. But then Ultron tried to take over the Tri-Carrier after tricking Nick Fury into bringing it to Avengers Tower at close range after hijacking Captain America's comlink and mimicking his voice in order to gain complete satellite and weapon control through the Tri-Carrier's space module. Meanwhile, Ant-Man managed to create a cure for Ultron's nano-virus with help from Falcon after being partially cured and freed from Ultron's control by Ant-Man. Then while the rest of the Avengers fought off the Ultron Sentries, Falcon came up with a plan to stop Ultron Prime after being half-cured of the nano-virus. Then he had Ant-Man patch him into the Tri-Carrier to tell Nick Fury, Captain America, and Iron Man about it. Which was Falcon using his connection to Ultron to force the other Ultron Sentries back into Ultron Prime which in turn would give Captain America and Iron Man seconds to destroy Ultron. So Iron Man came up with a plan to destroy Ultron Prime by letting him have the Tri-Carrier, trapping him on the space module, and then Iron Man would personally send Ultron right into the Sun. Iron Man went to the space module and launched it which caused Ultron Prime to chase after him and fight him off. Falcon then freed all the people from the nano-virus which caused all the Ultron Sentries to return back to Ultron Prime then Iron Man later grabbed Ultron Prime and tried to fly right into the Sun with him while Ultron Prime tried to take over Iron Man's armor. But then Arsenal took back control, let Iron Man let him go, said goodbye to him, and flew right into the Sun himself which destroyed both Arsenal and Ultron in the process along with the power of the Infinity Stones. After Iron Man was saved by Thor and reunited with the other Avengers on Earth, both teams of Avengers come back together again especially since the Secret Avengers had now resigned from S.H.I.E.L.D. and together they fully repaired Avengers Tower. Ant-Man also became an official Avenger who was a big help to them in the War of the Squadron Supreme.

### The Battle

Sometime later, Thanos' generals, Ebony Maw, Proxima Midnight, Black Dwarf, Corvus Glaive, and Supergiant who are known as the Black Order free Thanos from the space prison the Guardians of the Galaxy placed him in. After that, Thanos and the Black Order try to recharge Thanos' power by siphoning the quantum force from the core of an alien planet called New Korbin after enslaving the alien colony that lives on the planet called the Korbinites with an army of alien robots called Outriders. Meanwhile, the Avengers except for Black Widow and Ant-Man are in space setting up their new satellite system, Data Analysis Network, or D.A.N. for short but suddenly an alien ship arrives from a space portal. When the Avengers get on board the ship, they meet the pilot who is a Korbinite named Jeter Kan Too who has heard stories about the Avengers and their past heroics dealing with space threats and had come to Earth looking for them. He tells the Avengers about his planet being in trouble so the Avengers go to help him while leaving Black Widow and Ant-Man to protect the Earth while they're away. When the Avengers arrive at New Korbin on the Avenjet, they help protect the Korbinites who also know them by fighting off the Outriders. They then fight off Proxima Midnight who is leading the Outriders until Iron Man detects the same energy signature he got from Jeter Kan Too's ship from a floating upside-down pyramid. Then Falcon discovers that the energy is the quantum force which is coming from the core of New Korbin and that Thanos is inside the pyramid draining the quantum force into himself who attacks Falcon until Thor rescues him. When Falcon reports it to the other Avengers, they all try to stop Thanos by getting to the pyramid but then they fight off the rest of the Black Order who are trying to stop them. At first, the Avengers are no match against them but then they use New Korbin's resources to their advantage which allows the Avengers to defeat both the Black Order and the Outriders. With Iron Man defeating Corvus Glaive, Hawkeye defeating Supergiant, Captain America defeating Proxima Midnight, Hulk defeating Black Dwarf, and Thor defeating Ebony Maw. However, Thanos absorbs enough quantum force from New Korbin's core to grow to giant size and tells the Avengers that because of his last defeat at their hands, he will spare Earth but claims that the rest of the Universe is still his to conquer. Then he orders the Avengers not to interfere with him again or he will destroy the Earth then he grabs the Avengers and throws them into space. But the Avengers are all saved by Jeter Kan Too after receiving their coordinates from Iron Man who brings them aboard his ship then the Avengers tell Jeter Kan Too to go back to New Korbin to save his people from Thanos. Back on New Korbin, the Black Order and the Outriders prepare to leave New Korbin for the next planet under orders from Thanos who also orders them to take anything of value with them and burn what's left of New Korbin. But the Avengers arrive and fight them off again with the Korbinites helping them out after Jeter Kan Too convinces them to. Together they are all able to drive the Black Order and the Outriders away from New Korbin but Thanos arrives, grabs both Hulk and Thor when they try to fight him, and uses his new powers on them to overcharge New Korbin's core to destroy the planet then he leaves to conquer Earth. The Avengers are able to save all of the Korbinites and evacuate New Korbin on one of the Black Order's ships before the whole planet explodes with Thor and Hulk digging themselves out of it and managing to get onto the Black Order ship. The Avengers then leave on the Avenjet to stop Thanos while the Korbinites use the Black Order ship to find a new home. The Avengers manage to get back to Earth before Thanos arrives on the Avenjet only to find that the Earth is gone.

The Avengers believe that Thanos beat them and destroyed the Earth but Captain America doesn't believe it because there is no sign of debris. Then they get a signal from Black Widow telling them that D.A.N. detected Thanos coming so Ant-Man used its system to project Pym Particles across the Earth to shrink it down to protect it from Thanos. But then Thanos arrives on the Moon and sees through the trick since the Moon is still in orbit so he scans for the Earth after knocking the Avenjet down onto the Moon. The Avengers try fighting off Thanos on the Moon but he is too powerful to be hurt by their attacks then Thanos decides to break Earth's spirit by declaring to everyone on Earth that he will find and destroy them and projects a video all over the Earth showing him attacking the Avengers on the Moon. But Iron Man gets an idea to use D.A.N. to stop Thanos but they would need a lot of power to do it so Iron Man suggests using the energy of every power grid on the Earth. But they would have to convince the leaders from the governments of the Earth to give them global power access which Iron Man asks Black Widow to try and do despite the Earth being thrown into panic because of Thanos' presence. However, when Black Widow tries to after using S.H.I.E.L.D. databases to contact the government leaders they all refuse to give the Avengers access to their power grids claiming that it's every country for themselves. Back on the Moon, Thanos steals the computer from the base of the Watcher and absorbs its data to find the Earth and unshrink it. While Thanos heads for Earth, the Avengers try to go and stop him but then the Black Order arrives on the Moon to stop the Avengers. But while the Avengers fight off the Black Order, Thanos arrives on Earth and is about to attack New York City as Black Widow continues to fail to convince the government leaders to let the Avengers access their power grids. Back on the Moon, Falcon takes over the Black Order's ship after subduing Ebony Maw and uses it to defeat the rest of the Black Order and take the Avengers back to Earth but the rest of the Black Order manages to tag along with them. The Avengers continue to fight off the Black Order on the ship but Iron Man leaves to fight off Thanos alone before it reaches the city. While Ebony Maw takes back control of the ship and makes it to crash into the city where the Avengers and the Black Order continue to fight each other. But as Thanos approaches the city, Iron Man arrives with a giant Iron Man armor to fight off Thanos in the ocean but Thanos manages to take the fight to the city. Just when Thanos has Iron Man beaten, Iron Man uses his armor to steal most of the quantum force from Thanos which makes him shrink a bit. But the quantum force is too powerful for the armor to handle which causes it to short out and forces Iron Man to retreat from the suit after Thanos destroys it. Thanos and the Black Order then defeat the Avengers and Thanos orders the people of New York City to bow to him but the people refuse to and instead fight back against him and the Black Order claiming that they're all Avengers too. Ant-Man then appears and grows to giant size to fight off Thanos while everyone helps out the Avengers and continues to fight off Thanos and the Black Order. Then D.A.N. starts firing a huge laser at Thanos after Black Widow convinces some government leaders to let the Avengers have access to their power grids but it's not strong enough to stop Thanos. So the Avengers continue to fight off Thanos to give Black Widow more time to convince all the government leaders to let them have access to their power grids. Eventually, Black Widow is able to succeed in convincing government leaders around the Earth to let the Avengers access their power grids which powers up D.A.N. to fire its laser again which is so powerful it destroys Thanos.

### Aftermath

With Thanos gone and the Black Order later arrested by the Guardians of the Galaxy, the Earth is saved and the Universe is safe and free from Thanos. Black Widow becomes an ambassador by the United Nations for her attempts to convince the government leaders who want her on a committee to foster world peace. Falcon even deduces that it would take centuries for Thanos' particles to come back together and Iron Man realizes that anyone can be an Avenger and starts to make plans to expand which would eventually lead to the Ultron Revolution.
