Dark Earth,

"Tom."

Tommy hastily jumped up to his feet, looking around the Dark Earth, trying to find his brother. Ever since his brother and father disappeared. He and the others had been searching the Dark Earth, and it was the only place where the two could have gone and not be sensed by his mother.

But after nearly a week of searching, all they found... were mindless ones and monsters.

The Dark Earth, like the name it was a dark place; it was where billions of lives had been converted by Dormammu into the mindless ones. The stronger of them turned into sentient soldiers Night Ripper, D'Spyze, Kaligo, Lazurell, The Malicious One.

It didn't seem like Dormammu was interested in variety, just his puppets. There were higher class models like brainwashed Avengers, X-Men, Super-Villians, Inhumans, among other mutants.

They had no idea just how strong an army Dormammu had prepared for them to fight. But right now, they were safe, as long as Dormammu from Secret Universe, Omega Universe, and this one was fighting for control.

Still, it was getting annoying not being able to find Billy until he heard the voice of his brother, "Billy! Come out, bro! Not cool!"

"Tom, I need your help with something."

Tommy pivoted, looking in all directions, "What the hell?! Where in the world are you?"

"I am in the Cave."

"Cave? What the fuck? Do you have a problem living in a house? Why the fuck would you got to live in a damn Cave?!"

"It's not what you think," The sound of Billy's soft smile entered Tommy's ear, "Cave is father's treasury. It's where he has the strongest of magical artifacts, dangerous technology, weapons, and one that I want."

"Damn! That is not fair! Dad gave you permission to play with all his toys?! This is discrimination! Bigotry!! Pure bias!!" Tommy fueled up in anger, cursing.

"Tom, my hands are tied. I need you to do something for me."

"What do I get in return?" Tommy smugly asked.

"Tom, help me."

"Ugh," Tommy groaned, "Whatever. What do you want?"

"I need you to make the team."

Asgard, Secret Universe,

Thor waved around Mjolnir, smashing down the swords his sister threw at him, creating concentrated blasts of lightning, "Give up! Sister!"

"Give up?" Hela created a metallic structure that rose from the ground, wrapping itself around Odin, "I should be the one demanding that. Kneel, in front of your Queen."

Thor snarled, turning his eyes towards Odin, ready to blast away the metallic structure, when it grew, a sharp spike about to enter Odin's neck, "Uh-uh-uh. You don't want our dear father to die, right?"

Thor pointed Mjolnir at Hela, "Fight me like a warrior!!!"

"Thor...*cough* Thor...don't worry about me...Hela...her power grows the longer she stays in Asgard. You might...be able to...fight equally now...but soon her powers...will surpass yours."

"That's the thing, old man, this one I can tell. He'd rather accept defeat than kill you," Hela landed on the bridge, "Moreover, even if he sacrificed you. I still have his mother; if he is ready to offer her life, then the people of Asgard."

Thor narrowed his eyes, glaring at her, struggling to hold himself back when a portal appeared behind Hela. It looked like a small wormhole that opened between dimensions.

Hela halted in place, turning to look back when a great sword smashed into her waist. Her body got thrown off the bridge into the sea.

Thor laughed, "Hah! Take that!"

He turned his eyes towards the young girl with blonde hair, scanning her, "Thank you...Miss?"

The girl had blonde hair, blue eyes, wearing golden armor with black and blue clothing. Her left hand was covered in a golden gauntlet, with black and blue lining, red gem, followed by golden vambrace, couter, rerebrace, with an Anubis head-shaped black pouldron.

She wore a blue scarf in place gorget, a thin tasset over black short shorts, golden boots over thick, black stockings. She held a golden, curved greatsword in her right hand, in which she only wore a gauntlet.

"Illyana C. Rasputin, the ruler of Limbo," Illyana smiled, created a few more portals. From one came a glint, and the metallic structure around Odin was destroyed.

From the other walked out a young girl, curiously looking at the rainbow bridge, tapping it with her feet, "We are reinforcements. Billy told us that you needed help."

"Ah, you are children of the Witch and Wizard," Thor grinned, "What happened? They didn't come?"

Tommy patted Thor's biceps, squeezing them, "Uncle Jay is missing, and Mom is busy searching for him. She thinks that Dormammu might have a hand in it."

Thor looked at Tommy, frowning, "Dormammu reached Jay?"

"No, he's in hiding," Odin got on his feet, making Thor rush over to support him, "That boy...Primo's bloodline is unstable when the Convergence happens and is weakest. If Dormammu had Primo's boy, he would have devoured this universe by now."

Illyana exchanged a glance with Lavena, who softly asked, "You know our Grandpa?"

Lavena was hesitant after hearing Odin. She had figured out the only way to solve the problem related to her father's essence. But the problem was she wasn't sure why Odin was so confident in his judgment.

Lavena narrowed her eyes, "King Odin, why would you say that Father, Grandpa, and Uncle are weak during Convergence? What do you know about my bloodline?"

Odin got on his feet with Thor's help, looking at Lavena, staring into her eyes, "It is only a guess, based on what the last time, and this time. I might be wrong."

Tommy shrugged, "Probably not, anyway, you handle that woman. I have other matters to deal with."

He disappeared with a flash, making Thor blink, "Other matters?"

Lavena raised her hand to the side, stopping the giant spears from coming towards her and Illyana, watching Hela step on swords under her feet, walking towards the bridge.

"Billy asked us to get a few things from your treasury; it might help find Dad. I hope you don't mind," Even though Lavena said that the resolve on her face made it clear that she wouldn't back down even if they minded.

Thor furrowed his brows when Odin spoke, "Things inside the treasury, most of them are fake. I used them as a diversion to hide a few important treasures."

Illyana pointed her swords towards Hela, created nine portals, from which came out the nine heads of Hydra, releasing flames from their mouths, covering Hela, "We know. Still, for some reason, Billy wants them and the reality stone."

Lavena curled her lips, with a light glow in her eyes, seeing the strings in front of her. She pulled on one of them, and Hela started burning from Hydra's fire.

The metallic structure that was blocking fire was still there. And yet the fire phased through all defenses, durability, burning like Hela was an ordinary human. Still, her body started healing, burning at the same time.

Lavena pulled on another string, creating infinite distance between them and Hela, "This should keep her busy for a while. We should think about evacuating Asgard."

"You...you...how did you do...that?!" Thor looked at Lavena in amazement, who was sulking.

Lavena narrowed her eyes, sulking, "Does it matter?"

Illyana shrugged, "Don't mind her. She's still sulking that Dad chose Billy over her."

Thor glanced towards Hela, turning his eyes towards his father, who didn't meet his gaze, sighing, "Family. I understand. You are taking it much better than my sister."

Lavena glanced towards Hela, "Huh...now that you say it...that's your sister, right?"

She pouted even more, "But, I am not evil like her, nor do I want to conquer the world. It should have been me."

Illyana cleared her throat, pushing Lavena, "You do know that we have to evacuate everyone before your powers stop working and that bitch comes after us?"

Lavena puffed her cheeks, stepping forward, "Ughhhhh!!! Dad is so damn frustrating!!"

She touched another string in frustration, and the water jumped up from the sea, turning into fire, surrounding Hela in a pillar of fire that froze to nearly zero degrees in the following moments.

Thor's mouth twitched, whispering to his father, "Father, what kind of bloodline is theirs?"

Odin fixed his one eye at Lavena, "I don't know."

"Right, father, you don't mind them taking the things from your treasury, right?

Odin closed his eyes, "Let them."

Thor let out a breath of relief, wanting to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.
