## Plot

When an inhuman called Ulysess' gains the power to predict the future, Carol wants to use him to stop disasters and save lives, Alpha states that it is impossible to tell the future anymore now that the sacred timeline and the TVA has been abolished, he says that Ulysess' power is a ruse.

Eventually Alpha is seemingly proven wrong, Ulysess makes two prophecies, one that Black Knight will cause the end of the world by awakening a powerful spirit, and that John Grey will cause reality to collapse on itself. Carol is hesitant to act against her friend and a child but when Dane accidentally awakens the spirit, he is forced to go on the run from her team. She also attempts to kill John as she does not want to take any chances, but, Alpha stands in her way.

She arrests Dane and he is imprisoned, Alpha works with John to find Ulysess who has gone missing and while using cerebro John finds out that Ulysess' power is actually telepathy and that his dreams have actually been him increasing the probability of certain events happening, Ulysess finds out that John is in his head and releases a pulse which hurts John and damages his personality, it also puts him into a coma.

Alpha goes to find Ulysess and when he does, he kills him to prevent him from doing anymore damage, Carol witnesses this and begins to fight Alpha, he begins to beat Alpha, but, the rest of her Avengers appear and he surrenders. He is put on trial, but, John awakens to testify and he is cleared of the charges.

That night at the Xavier estate, Alpha and his team of Avengers meet with Charles, Alpha states he needs to find Dane and help clear his name, as Carol does not believe his story about Ulysess being a probability manipulating telepath. Alpha asks about John and Charles states there may be a way to numb his mind to suppress most of his power with the help of Doctor Strange. Alpha dislikes this and both are unaware John is listening. Alpha goes to leave and John asks if he can come as he doesn't feel safe with Charles anymore. Alpha, who is now sure John is who he was meant to come to Earth for, allows him to tag along as they search for Dane. They break into Cerebro and John tracks Dane, unaware that Carol has been watching this whole time. Sophie Summers and Ellie Braddock find them, but, they decide to help find Dane as well, Alpha sets off with the mutants and his now small team of Avengers.

They find Dane at the Summit of Mytherea, where he fought Blade and Morbius a year prior. Alpha and his team approach Dane and assure him that Carol wont hurt him as they will stand by him. Carol and her Avengers arrive, determined to suppress the threat of John and Dane immediately. The two sides fight as Alpha instructs Dane to escape with John. Carol, who is now turning crazed, attempts to kill them both, but, the others stand in her way. Alpha fights Nova, who keeps him distracted while Carol hunts. Eventually, Dane and John reach the quinjet, but, Carol destroys it. She also murders Dane, who jumps in the way of her supercharged blast aimed at John. John is terrified as Carol charges another blast, he deflects it with Phoenix Energy which surprises Carol.

Alpha eventually defeats Nova and before he knocks him out, he looks around, devastated that once again, the Avengers have been torn apart from the inside. He offers Nova a hand up and apologises, the rest stop fighting. Nova tells Alpha that he doesn't agree with him, but, he cannot fight his best friend any longer, he leaves as do the rest of Carol's Avengers. Alpha instructs his team to follow him, but, the authorities arrive aided by several X-Men, to arrest all parties involved in the conflict. Pyslocke assures Alpha they will hold them back and he should focus on saving John.

As Carol blasts a massive binary blast at John, Alpha arrives and absorbs it, the two fight, but, Carol gains the upper hand as Alpha is injured from his fight with Nova. As she is about to kill Alpha, John lets out a blast of Phoenix Energy and Carol falls to the ground, unharmed, but, now powerless. She is shocked as is Alpha, Alpha offers her a hand up, declare it is over, she agrees, but, grabs Dane's weapon and attempts to kill John. John accidentally turns the weapon to dust; Alpha, who is unaware he had that power fires a photon blast at her, singing the side of her head. She screams in pain as Alpha is horrified by what has happened, he did not expect her to be hurt by it as he forgot she had lost her durability. Alpha and John flee the seen as authorities arrive.

Alpha arrives back at the Xavier Estate which is crawling with cops, Charles freezes everyone and ushers them inside. John is now manic and suffering badly from his anxiety due to the attack, which leads Alpha, who is now depressed to tell Charles to do it, Charles summons Doctor Strange and with the help of Nate Essex, they suppress John's entire power set, along with his personality. Charles gives John a new personality to wake up with. Alpha and Strange talk, Strange reveals all remaining Avengers are now on the run, or, have left Earth, Charles suggests Alpha do the same and never come back as the damage he has caused since arriving in 2015 has been too much. He tells Alpha he is not welcome on this planet anymore, Strange agrees and the Illuminati label him an enemy of Earth. Alpha leaves Earth, never to return.
