Quasar feels the wrongness in the universe, war has broken out again despite the best efforts of Sonath and the Galactic Council. Knowing now how ruthless Sonath is, Quasar realises that the Council's possible reaction will only add fuel to the fire now threatening to consume creation. Which is why he has succumbed to the growing temptation in him to find 'The Others'. The Infinity Watch are finally gathered and now all hell officially breaks loose. Such power gathered together naturally attracts attention which is why the Elders of the Universe crash this first meeting fully intent on liberating the Gems from their owners corpses. Quasar flies straight at Ego to take the fight to the mad planet and he feels something else, something akin to his own Gem! An infection spreading throughout the cosmos, starving, needing to consume all in it's path but prevented somehow.

Gamora watches the devastating fight from a safe distance, her new pet Oblivion cowers at her feet, while her Gold Gem slowly turns into a sword.

"EVERYONE NEEDS DOWNTIME!"

Rom the Space Knight vs the Knights of Wundagore! Need more? Ok, how about a drunk High Evolutionary? HE has encountered his first true cosmic being, the Fulcrum! The cosmic bartender isn't too keen on being dissected but he doesn't mind if Wyndham explores the secrets of his cocktails. Realising that he might be dealing with pure evolution in a glass the High Evolutionary has but one course of action, pour the drinks down the Knights throats and record the findings. Apparently these drinks cause debate amongst the patrons of the Fulcrum's bar as to the real meaning of 'Knight' which is why a drunken bar brawl is now ensuing with some random alien called Rom. The experiment was deemed a failure until another patron, some small creature called Pip, reminded Wyndham that sometimes elements have to be introduced to more complex systems. Which is how he ended up imbibing several portions himself. The experiment was eventually deemed an adequate use of time and was agreed that it would merit further study. Perhaps they would seek out this other place the Fulcrum mentioned, "The Fortress!"

There are no stars in the sky, a quick scan reveals that the Dark Con's influence has festered at existence itself and now reality begins to crumble. The Earth is dead, but it is not uninhabited. The Inquisition, a group of heroes who at the end of everything fell to their knees and begged for their salvation at the feet of the Dark Con on his throne, have detected Doom! Didn't they kill him over a year ago? Interesting information indeed, perhaps eliminating these heroes when he returns should be a higher priority. Mind you that's if he returns, these Dark heroes have been devoid of a prize to throw at the Dark Con's feet lately and Doom will do nicely. The attack is vicious but Doom is not without a surprise or two. Namely resurrecting his deceased self to join the fight. Kill these desperate fools, gather Intel from his future self and then put future self back into the ground! The fool was weak and got what he deserved and Doom can have no weaknesses!

* + - A Nightmare on Graymalkin Lane\*\*\*

It was 1984 and Charles Xavier's nightmare was about to come true. For years, he feared a mutant would commit an atrocity and turn humanity irreversibly against his kind. Thanks to Cerebro, Charles now knows that the infamous Springwood Slasher and current fugitive from justice, Freddy Krueger, is a mutant! The only consolation is that the public doesn't know... yet! And they can't be allowed to find out! Charles resolves to find Freddy, who is believed to be hiding somewhere in Southern Canada, before the authorities do, but he can't do it alone. Can the man calling himself Logan be convinced to leave his log cabin and help? And does Charles really want his assistance, or will Logan have a more lethal solution for dealing with the child murderer? Will Logan make a bloody choice that will literally come back to haunt him?

“THE LORDS OF WAR” Part Three “DESTRUCTION”

All it takes is one, and when that one member of the 100 attacks, they all attack. Their targets are as random as the types of attacks. Telekinetic attacks, telepathic attacks, energy blasts, and other attacks obliterate parks, malls, stadiums, and other public places.

The two separate groups of X-Force members do all they can to protect innocent people and take out the attackers. However each time they get close to an attacker, he or she commits suicide, leaving no evidence. In a matter of minutes, it's over and the city of Miami is in shambles. Thousands are dead and while the members of X-Force are seen as heroes, X-Force realizes that they have failed.

At the Hellfire Club headquarters, Shaw details the next phase of their plan to the rest of the members. While there was mayhem in Miami, Dr. Gomez has created the perfect mutant, Blockade. Designed to take on Cable, Blockade has the ability to cancel out the powers of all mutants in an area but also siphon them and use them himself... The perfect counter to X-Force.

In Scottsdale a recent rash of robberies has gotten the attention of Eli Bradley (Patriot) while visiting his mother and siblings. Even though he’s gotten out of the hero business a little reconnaissance wouldn’t hurt right? Especially since one of the stores that is a possible target is owned by a friend of the family. As for Jenifer and her problem. The good news is that Jamie figured out how to turn the belt off, the bad news is that Jenifer found some secret compartments that are holding a number of gemstones. Never put something curious into the hands of reporter’s kid, or at least that’s what Jamie’s discovering, as they discover that if one is placed inside the strange looking belt buckle and twisted, well the result is…a sudden influx of nanobots that morph into some sort of body armor suit with matching helmet! Pretty cool right?! Of course as far as SHEILD is concerned the missing item is second only to what the Alien crash, and that might mean more then what they thought, especially since there’s been more sightings happening, and then there was the case of the strange tinfoil hat man spouting something about a “Bird Man” from outer space landing in his back yard!
