(FLASHBACK: Birnin Zana, Wakanda, 2:00 am)

The early morning city lights were wandering around as some foreign tourists spent their graveyard hours of pleasure. Some of the locals were slumbering in the city suburbs. On an active nightlife street, a blue haired man named Vulcan Sunstrider brought his wife for a vacation.

They headed to a local restaurant with a live Wakandan drum music. The couple found a seat and watched a live performance while a balded waitress approached them. They took their menu started ordering their meal.

" Honey, I didn't know that there are 24 hour restaurants here, " the turquoise haired woman named Reese said. " I really like it! "

" Maybe, we should move here dear and start our family cause, " her husband smiled and kissed her cheeks. " This city is amazing. "

" Yeah, this country is better than Remnant. I wish to live here, forever. "

" Same here and no worries of Grimm, then. It's settled. Maybe, we could get a place with a good view of the city. "

" Of course! " she held Vulcan's hand.

The waitress served the meal when the couple started eating and enjoyed them. The performers danced following the loud drumbeat. Pausing their performance, the crowd noticed a meteorite coming from the sky, Vulcan and Reese widened their eyes in shock. The people around them got surprised.

" Honey, did you see that? " Reese curiously asked.

" Yes, it looked like a meteorite. I wonder where it's gonna hit. Hopefully far from the city and not on anyone else. "

Suddenly, it crashed somewhere on the grassy fields as the couple got alarmed. The crowd started to ran away for their safety. The Wakandan Army was ready to defend the city. There were hovering vehicles all over the place. A loud siren alerted when the people had left the place. Vulcan and Reese turned around and decided to leave.

" I think we should get out of here and go back to the hotel, " she anxiously said. Vulcan looked at his wife while looking at the crashed site and holding her hand.

" Perhaps, it's the best thing, " he assured. " I don't have my weapon with me. I never want any harm coming to you. You're the most important thing for me, Reese cup. Money can be gained anytime and anywhere. "

" Right. "

Suddenly, two of the Infinity Avengers appeared as they both recognized the long-haired mutant man in black from Remnant. He stood beside the blonde Lunivian woman dressed in green sleeveless suit who was the bearer of the Time Stone.

" Gladius? " Reese raised her voice in astonishment. " What are you doing here? "

" Nice to see you again Fernal and I see you got an upgrade to yourself."

" Yeah, it's been a while, Vulcan, " Gladius smiled. " Katean and I found you on the streets. "

" Meister Gladius asks you to leave immediately, " Katean warned. " It's dangerous to remain here. "

" What do you mean?! "

" That thing that touched down is not a normal lump of rock. Is it Gladius? "

The mutant looked at the distance. The large space boulder was still sizzling and releasing mist. The Remnite couple trembled in fear.

" Yeah, that ain't no ordinary rock, guys. That's something else. "

Katean angrily gritted her teeth as she glared at the meteorite. She remembered those invaders more than a year ago which she saw them striking down people in New York City. The blonde Lunivian woman clenched her fists as her fellow Infinity Avenger noticed her. Her green aura from the Time Stone was slowly unleashing.

" The Eliksni has returned! " she frowned and indignantly spoke. " I'm going to return them to..."

" Woah....Kate, Kate, slow down! " Gladius shook her shoulders. " We need to check out further. "

" You say that is not an ordinary rock, Meister Gladius! They landed on your planet in milliseconds to hinder us. Now, we must fight before your future will be at stake! "

" What is the Eliksni? " Vulcan curiously asked and scratched his head.

" The Fallen Race...." he instantly answered.

" I thought they are already...DEAD! '' the Lunivian woman growled.

" The Fallen?! They have returned, " the blue haired man raised his voice. " I thought they all got banished after seeing that weird jet? "

Vulcan remembered from the aftermath of the global invasion when he and his friends fought against them. Reese remained speechless for a while. Katean was more infuriated than ever which she wanted to strike the invaders down.

" Oh yeah..I see..So they have returned, " she nervously sighed.

" You guys should get out of here, now before it's too late. " the mutant warned.

" Come with us, " Katean added.

Vulcan looked at his wife and then the people around him. He held her hands as he decided to take her away from impending threat.

" Come, Honey. Let's go with them. I could phase through solid objects as well holding someone. My power even works through phasing people too. "

" Yeah, good idea. " she nodded.

" I know a place where we could be safe. " Gladius added.

" The humans are making a refugee camp any moment, " Katean said and pointed at direction going to the Wakandan army. " That way! "

" Right..."

The four headed and followed the female bald soldiers called the Dora Milaje. They were wearing bright red battle outfits and some golden ornaments. They held some spear and weapons which they were preparing themselves for a serious battle and defense. Vulcan and his companions saw them.

" This is just like during the invasion when purple shrek attacked, " he said.

" Let's just follow these guys over there, " Gladius spoke.

" Is there more of you guys here as well Gladius? "

" Well, we got seven and nine of us in the field. Plus, some SHIELD agents and the Avengers. "

" The Infinity Avengers are here, " Katean sternly said.

" Infinity Avengers? " Reese raised her voice.

" Yeah, for now, we'll keep you guys safe. "

" Thank you, Gladius, " Vulcan replied and felt grateful. " I hope the army can hold them off and the city remains, too. I wanna start a family here. "

" Yeah, no problem, " the long haired mutant smiled. The group went there way to the evacuating crowd as General Okoye lead her troops.

" That barrier will it be able to hold off those Fallen? "

" I believe Meister Zavala has sent us here, " the blonde Lunivian added.

" Yeah, I hope Chris and the others are okay, " Gladius sighed.

" Wait, Chris is here as well? "

" Yes. "

" He might meet good fighters. "

" Yeah, they're in the warehouse. I think. "

(Vibranium Warehouse, Birnin Zana, 2:15 am)

A dark green haired Remnite SHIELD Agent checked on the Warehouse where he saw crates and boxes. He was assigned by some SHIELD Agents as he went on and used his flashlight which Agent Fitz gave him. Christopher Knightfall walked along the hallway as he noticed a forklift standing peacefully on the corner.

" Seems clear here...No hostiles, " Christopher thought and using his power to sense anyone near. He continued walking on the corners. Suddenly, he heard some threshold along the way. He looked around and noticed the forklift was following him without being controlled by a person.

The Kree-Hybrid anxiously turned around and shined the light on the forklift moving his hand towards Ironwood's pistol on its holster.

" Either a Grimm geist is controlling it, something else is not right, " he continued watching it.

The forklift wasn't affected by the strikes until it bumped and crashed the crates causing them to fall. Vibranium was scattered on the ground. Suddenly, Christopher was being dragged away by two beings in milliseconds. He was safe, however half of the warehouse got destroyed.He couldn't believe he was seeing a brown haired Pyromancer and a dark haired angel who saved him. They both smiled at him.

" Thank you two for saving me, " Christopher smiled and sighed in relief while looking at the two. " I could have died there. If that Vibranium landed on me, it could have been a large shockwave. Anyway, what was controlling that forklift?."

" We easily tracked you, bud. Thanks to the Soul stone. " Kai answered.

" We sensed something suspicious inside the warehouse, " Skoúro pointed out.

" I couldn't sense anything in there, but the forklfit was moving on its own. Like it was possesed but the light from my eyes didn't affect it."

The couple from a different dimension exchanged glances at each other as they couldn't believe what they heard. The automatic forklift remained a mystery for them which it was very unusual.

" It's pretty creepy something is manuvering that forklift, " Skoúro commented.

" Is it a Darkwraith? " Kai curiously asked.

" No, it's something else. "

" Then what is it? "

Skouro pointed at the meteorite from a distance.Kai and Christopher looked at the crash near the city.

" Maybe we should offer the army some support, " the green-haired SHIELD agent suggested.

" You're right, " Kai nodded. " We'd better check this out."

" Wait... Kai.. " his angelic wife grabbed his left hand.

" What now?! "

" Remember the invaders aside from Thanos in this universe? "

" Yeah, we already fought them. Why? "

" They've just returned..." she anxiously spoke. " They're going to be dangerous. Kai, I'm worried..."

Kai sadly sighed, hugged his wife, and comforted her. He was still looking at the meteorite which he was also worried to cause much trouble. Christopher turned around and saw more forces acting on the streets and helping to evacuate everyone in the city.

" It's going to be all right, " the pyromancer assured. " But we have to help everyone here. "

" We wont have a repeat of that invasion again this time. We strike back at them and save everyone we can."

" He's right, Skouro. I think we should..."

The three saw the palace invaded from a distance as they widened their eyes in fear. Skouro sensed her Kree Eternal brother and stepmother being attacked aside from the king. She wept as Kai was still hugging her.

" AMNON! " she cried.

" He's.... " her husband widened his eyes in shock and paused.

"....He's with Carol and the king! "

" Oh dear, my Kree buddy is taking a risk again along with her! What are they gonna do now?! " Kai anxiously thought and muttered. " No...No... "

" They can't die! "

" We gotta hurry over there and help them and deal whoever they are fighting, " Christopher said.

The three headed to the streets going to the palace as the Wakandan guards blocked them away. A male chief pointed his spear at them. Kai, Skoúro, and Christopher got surrounded by them.

" We are not permitting you three into the palace, " the chief sternly spoke in his strong African accent.

" But my brother is in there along with his mother! " Skoúro cried.

" Please just let us in and take them away to safety, " Kai added.

" We do not take orders from you. We are following General Okoye's orders. You must leave at once. "

The three felt dismayed as the stern Wakandan soldier glared at them. Skoúro was still looking at the palace. Kai and Christopher exchanged glances and turned to him.

" Sir, we are capable of handling the threat inside the palace, " the Remnite SHIELD agent convinced. " It's very important to save our friends. I know you have your orders. But sometimes they must be broken to save lives."

The Wakandan soldiers was still pointing their spears at them. The male chief was still in his deadpan expression. Christopher turned to the couple as Kai and Skouro showed the Infinity stones to the soldiers. They got surprised and murmured which they remembered the ten heroes who saved the world from a great doomsday.

" Please remember us, we saved your dimension from them, " the pyromancer calmly pleaded. " Two of our fellow comrades are trapped in there. We need to rescue them. "

" We'll do anything to help and follow your orders, " the dark angel humbly spoke.

" And I'm with SHIELD, " the Kree-Hybrid added. " It's my mission to help you as well. One of our agents have helped you before Black Widow. "

The Wakandan soldiers spoke in their language as they got convinced. They nodded and permitted however they saw King T'Challa or Black Panther leaving.

" Your Highness? " Skoúro called him.

" Get out of here now! " T'Challa warned. " That's an order! "

" Where? " Kai asked.

" To the refugee camp! "

The rest of the soldiers turned to him as he was looking for a vehicle going to the mentioned area. The three thought of rescuing the two Kree warriors and helping the king further.

" It looks like the King needs our help, " Kai spoke.

" But what about Amnon and Carol? " Skoúro asked.

" Yeah. First thing, let's check inside and rescue them. Then, we all go to the refugee camp. "

" Hopefully both are okay, but I'm sensing whoever they are fighting is quite strong. " Christopher said.

" Yeah... I think they're doing their best. "

The three entered the palace being messed up with shattered glass and some dismantled objects. Kai's Soul Stone aura glowed brightly as he held it. The two curiously looked at him.

" Kai? " his wife called.

" I can sense their aura in the Throne room, " he said and pointed at the direction going to the mentioned place. " That way! "

" Noted, " Christopher nodded.

They kept walking and searching for their comrades. Skouro looked around the palace hallway and the stairs as she sensed their light souls were not present in the area. Kai's Soul Stone ceased glowing as he turned to her.

" Skouro? Have you sensed something? " he asked.

" They've just left, " she answered.

" Yeah, I can't sense their aura here. "

" Someone took them out of this place! "

" Wait, what?! Who? "

Skoúro recalled earlier when she was talking to someone to take look after her brother and Carol's activity in Wakanda. Kai and Christopher curiously looked at her.

" I remember I asked someone for backups just in case they got in-trouble, " she said.

" Dear! You could have told us! But..." her husband sighed. Then, he noticed his Infinity stone began to glow and smiled. " You're right, they're all fine! I know exactly where the king asked us. "

" Refugee Camp! "

" Good, " Christopher nodded. " They made it out. Let's join them and discuss a battle plan with everyone. "

" Right, we could see them alive, but we need to get out of here before someone finds us. "

" Don't worry, they will be fine. I know Amnon would try his hardest to keep Carol safe as she would do the same for him as well. "

" Yeah, they're fine. " Skoúro kissed her husband's cheeks as he blushed. " Let's meet them very quick! They're waiting for us there. "

" Well, we let's help the people there as we meet them. "

" Good plan. Maybe some could help us too by setting up defenses there. "

(Alkama Fields, Wakanda, One Hour Later)

A panther Faunus named Varix was watching from the shadows as the enemy passed by him. He emerged from the shadows jumping down from the tree and smelled the ground.

" What were those things? " he curiously thought.

There were strange beings around as Varix saw them. Suddenly, a long-haired brunette man with a metallic arm held his rifle and followed him

" You've gotta be careful with those creeps, " the man sternly said. " They're gonna take you down and..."

" I will be to quick for them to take down, " he looked at the man and replied. " You must Bucky Barnes the White Wolf or Winter Soldier. My name is Varix. "

" Calling me Bucky is cool, pal, " he grinned. " Now, let's get moving. "

Varix continued walking as he never realized that he was being taken away and screamed.

" Oh shoot! "

" Bucky, I need assistance! Can you hear me? "

" Right, I'm coming! " Bucky nodded and loaded his weapon. Varix tried to get himself free while looking at the things holding him.

" How dare you invade, Wakanda?! " he angrily gritted his teeth and went struggling to br as free. The beings mumbled as they began to attack him.

" Dude, look out! " Bucky yelled.

Varix looked at his attacker as he kicked it away as he reached for his Vibranium daggers. The man with a metal arm kept shooting with his rifle.

" I thought these things were gone? "

" This is not what you think..." a voice replied.

" What business do you have in Wakanda? Speak now! " the panther Faunus seriously asked. Bucky finished shooting and held his rifle.

" Let's say, I'm taking over the Kingdom..."

" Our kingdom has only one true king and it's not you and never will be! "

" And you shall be my subjects..." the voice evily scoffed as the figures surrounded him.

" I wont be part of any test, but I got a game. Let's see how you do against my claws? " he brought his weapons up.

A group of Devil Splicers arrived as Varix attempted to attack. Bucky Barnes tried to shoot one of them.

" These Fallen. They are more different than the ones we have fought before. White Wolf be careful. "

" Kid, you need to get out of here, " Bucky warned.Varix tried to attack them and dashed, however he got himself wounded by a katana. " Kid, run as fast as you can..."

" I never run from a fight no matter how critical it gets." he put his hand to his side and felt something odd going on. Varix struggled to run. " Bucky, I dont feel so good..."

" DAMN IT! " the long haired man angrily gritted his teeth.

" What have you done to me?! "

" You will be one of my subjects child, " a male voice answered.

The Devil Splicers took Varix away as he struggled to escape. The figure was aiming at Bucky as he pointed the Katana at him.

" Do you want to join in my special army? "

" Not even my wildest dreams, Freak! " Bucky pointed his rifle at him as he was ready to pull his trigger." Don't you even dare.."

A figure came out of the bushes as she let out a screech. She stepped beside Bucky baring her fangs. She was a raptor Faunus named Fang who glared at the figure. Then, a scarlet haired cosmic being dressed in a red coat appeared along with her as he used the Reality Stone.

" What freak is this?! " Fang smelled and raised her voice.

" I thought these guys are doomed for good! " he added.

" You? " Bucky turned to the man in red as he looked familiar in the battle of Thanos in New York.

" Yeah, I'm Detente, one of the Infinity Avengers representing the Reality Stone. I think you need some serious help. "

" The Bearers of the Infinity Stones or should I say the Twelve Guardians of the Mirrorverse, " the figure scoffed. " Legends speak the most highly of you. I have heard so much about you, especially the one who I impaled and infected earlier. Her son and her comrades are mourning and wailing for her instant demise. "

" You smell of Fallen, but something else unatural! " Fang indignantly spoke. " Honestly, I was getting bored so you look good to fight."

" I may perhaps give you more problems this time! "

" Who the hell are you? " Detente asked.

" I'm Sivarius, the new king of Wakanda or should I say SIVA City. "

" Siva City, eh? And let me guess the theme is red! Well, how about I help you along with it by using your blood?! "

" I'll try to aim him on the head..." Bucky said.

" No, it will get things worse, " Detente replied.

" I can aim on your heads just like him, " Sivarius grinned and turned to the infected Varix. " He will be under my control, my friends."

Varix looked at the group as his armour turned Red along with his eyes while raising his daggers waiting for his master's command. Fang was terrified at the Wakandan panther Faunus. Detente was thinking of a way how to save him. Bucky kept holding his rifle as he was ready to shoot.

" Well, this will be a problem... " the female Raptor gulped.

" Yeah..." the Infinity Avenger nodded.

" I have no choice but to take his life, " Bucky sternly spoke.

" Heck, NO! There's something we should do! "

" Look, Bud. We'll end up just like him afterwards like a zombie! "

" NO! "

" This is useless... "

" Detente could your stone do something to stop this thing? " Fang asked as she saw the beings approaching.

" Okay, I'll try my best..." the cosmic being used the Reality Stone as the Devil Splicers were being dragged and crushed by trees.

" Varix! Get them! " Sivarius commanded.

Varix touched the shadows of the trees as he blended into it while moving. Fang smelled around and dashed herself into safety. The infected Faunus was about to tackle her when she quickly evaded.

" Heads up! " she warned her companions. " He is trying to ambush us! I've seen how he does it. "

" If you want this guy alive. I'll shoot him. " Bucky replied and targeted at Varix.

" Make sure, it's not on his head! " Detente reminded.

Bucky aimed at Varix's legs as he shot and left him bleeding and injured. Sivarius became more infuriated at the scene as Detente controlled the Reality Stone to form a large boulder to roll him away. The man of SIVA had immediately left as the cosmic being missed it getting him.

" For the love of Lord Chaos and Master Order, I failed in getting him! " he cried and felt disappointed.

" Nevermind, Detente. We need your help, " Fang replied and circled the injured Faunus. " Is it safe to touch him Bucky? "

" Just don't touch, you'll get corrupted, " Bucky stood up and stepped back. He was afraid to get infected by these nanobots.

" It could be worse, " Detente warned and watched Varix became weakened.

" Can you undo it, Detente? "

" I'll try my best, but it's too difficult, " he sighed, sat down, and used his Reality Stone to undo the SIVA Virus as he could. Varix moaned as the energy of the Infinity Stone affected him. He was being illuminated and heated by its ruddish aura.

" Great T'Chaka help me or kill me I don't want to be there again! " the panther Faunus cried and struggled to get up while having one eye still red.

" Seventy percent of the Virus has disappeared. I think we need another help. "

" And that is? Then who? " Bucky asked.

" Kai, Skouro, Captain Marvel, Mr. Marvel, Katean, Commander Zavala, Agent UR, Deadpool, Tengfei, Gladius, and Dr. Pyromaniac. "

" Your teammates? "

" Yeah, I remember the time when we helped Mr. Marvel gained to his full health from cancer and the gunshot he had. Perhaps, the twelve of us can help this guy. "

" But what about the menace if he infects more people? " Fang asked.

" That's the problem. Seven of us are here. Five are still in America. "

" Wait, I think I'm hearing someone, " the long haired man turned around and heard some footsteps and leaves. Fang used her senses to enhance her scent of smell while picking it up.

" One person or more..." she muttered.

" Hey, who's that? "

" Don't tell me that guy who holds the virus, " Detente said.

" Smells like someone else not that man, but if it is get ready. "

Suddenly, a tall muscular Wakandan man dressed in a wooden armor and a white fur coat appeared from the bushes and saw the four people.

" You need my help, " he gruffly said.

" You must be? " Detente asked.

" I, M'Baku, leader of the Jabari Tribe, " the man replied, happily beamed, and loudly laughed. " Glory to Hanuman! "

Fang and her male companions got surprised at the Wakandan Tribal Council's introduction. Detente found him unusual as he raised his eyebrows. Bucky nervously laughed to see and M'Baku's presence.

" Good to see you M'Baku, " Varix managed to smile while twitching and suffering in tremendous pain. " We face another dire threat to Wakanda."

" It is just like what happened before, my brother. Thanos's forces had created too much problems. Now, this is worse than ever. Someone had taken over the Kingdom in the wrong hands, " M'Baku replied. " Me and the Jabari Tribe shall bring you to Princess Shuri. You need a serious help. "

" Thank you, but I might be still contagious. So I can't be touched. "

" The people are on their way to take you. "

The four were glad to see more people coming from the Jabari tribe to rescue the infected one. M'Baku led the way as they took them out of the forest.

Watching from a distance, a blue-skinned woman in a cloak left her space pod and walked on the grassy fields where she had landed. She saw some people leaving the cities and turned to the meteorite crash where the Fallen Devil Splicers converged.

" How interesting to see Earth facing another problem once again with those strange alien species! " she thought smiling beneath her cloak. " Let's see how Car-Ell will suffer from this situation! I want to see her failing and dying. "
