" She should have died hereafter;

There would have been a time for such a word.

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,

Creeps in this petty pace from day to day

To the last syllable of recorded time,

And all our yesterdays have lighted fools

The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!

Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player

That struts and frets his hour upon the stage

And then is heard no more: it is a tale

Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,

Signifying nothing. "


William Shakespeare's Macbeth Act V, scene v



(KNIGHTS STRONGHOLD, AUSTIN TEXAS, 1:00 PM)



Inside the base, Agent Stuart arrived with several friends in tow, the same friends who met Dr. Sheldon Cooper at the movie theater. They noticed the place was messed up and cracks on the wall were found. Cooper carefully walked over and skipped the rift and rubble on the floor when he saw his friends. He just arrived from the streets.
" What are you doing here! You all are in violation of Interdimensional law! " he gasped. " You guys should not be here! I messed up! " 
" Stuart told us of your stand here to fight aliens, " Howard answered.


" We came to see the situation, " Leonard added.

" They told us you could have left! " Penny said.

" No, I caused a distraction from our forces, and I need to redeem myself. "


" The fields are gonna fail! Enemy bombers are coming in and those demons weakened the field, " Agent Omega interrupted as he was still guarding the base.


Agents UR, NE, TO, and Aegis also entered at the Base as the blue-lipped man noticed them. UR angrily gritted his teeth as he saw Sheldon Cooper and clenched his fists.


" You let the DEMON take the Gravitonium! " he yelled which Omega was surprised to see his anger.


" UR, Calm down! " NE grabbed his hand to hinder him.


" Hey stop! " TO added.
" Big Boy calm down! " Aegis exclaimed in worry. Agent UR saw Omega and Cooper as he emitted a golden light from his fists.
" Looks like that Cooper charm has struck again, " Howard anxiously spoke.


" Look, he doesn't understand he does wrong, " Leonard sighed.


" It's all your FAULT! " the Uranian MIB blasted his hands to Cooper. " CHEATER! TRAITOR! DECEIVER! LIAR! THIEF! "
" There's something's wrong with this kid..." TO whispered to NE as he nodded.


" This is insane! Sheldon, let's get out of here! " Penny exclaimed.

" Sheldon? " Amy raised her voice as she turned around. Her fiancé got knocked down by the blasts. Penny angrily punched UR on the legs.

" Are you insane!" she exclaimed as he blasted Penny with his energy.


" Hey! That's my best friend! " Amy cried.
" Stop this fighting! " Omega tried to restrain UR as stretched his arms. However the tall Uranian quickly dodged and blasted him. " Ow! Stop it! Right now! "
" ALL OF YOU ARE INSANE! TALBOT IS IN THE CHAMBER WITH THAT GRAVITONIUM! " UR angrily exclaimed and pointed at the lab then to Cooper. " THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT! "

" But, that's not right! " Cooper sat-up as his friends helped him to stand-up.


" As in General Talbot is infusing with Gravitonium and becoming Graviton? " Leonard shrugged.


" That's not good! " Howard added.
" You've been watching Agents of SHIELD without me! "
" You guys are from a universe where Agents of SHIELD is a TV show, aren't you? " Omega asked.


" They are..." Stuart nodded.


" YOU IDIOT COOPER, HE IS IN THERE! " Aegis also yelled.

" TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR LAB!! " UR grabbed the KNIGHT Agent's collar as Cooper nervously gulped.
" W-We've got to do something! " Cooper nervously replied and got frightened to see the Uranian's face boiling in extreme anger. " P-Please p-put me down! "


" YOU FIX THIS MESS OR I'LL BLAST YOU!! "

The front door has enemies pressed up against it. The people looked around as the shadows were seen.

" I think we are about to get some Texas Schools named after us, " Omega reminded.

" Raiders are teleporting into the back area! " Aegis added.

" The Behni, The Cabal..." TO anxiously muttered as he turned around to the large shadows coming and appearing.


" One team deal with the raiders, one team secure Talbot, one team needs to defend this front door! "
" I will go to fight the raiders! " Aegis nodded.


" I'm with you! " Rosina added.

" I'm going too! " Jessie beamed.

" I'M NOT GOING WITH THAT DEMON!! " UR heatedly said and turned to Cooper.


" Kid, let's go..." TO called him.
" We'll secure the place, " NE added.

" I will fight to the bitter end defending the front door! " Cooper cried. " I deserve to have my fate! "
" Sheldon! No! " Penny cried.
" THEN DIE, YOU DEMON!! "
" Hey, hey! Dude, calm down! " his Neptunian partner cried and thought. " Sheesh! Is that the side-effect of the Ego Stone exposure and then Dr. Strange's resurrective spell? "



" TO, take UR with you and check on Talbot, I will go with you! " Omega ordered.
" Got it... " the tall elderly Remnite MIB nodded and thought. " His aura and semblance becomes more powerful. Is he one of the Chosen Dogs? "


Suddenly, Opus the penguin arrived as he saw Agent Omega and the others inside. He and his companions were at the glass front door.

" Let down the forcefield on the front door, " he pulled out an automatic double barrelled shotgun as the door was shattered and turned to Omega. " Why can't people live in peace? "

" Peace is an illusion, conflicts are fought all over the world everyday, Judge Opus. " Omega replied and shrugged.


" That angry one, he has an ancient magical aura, " Agent Monika the Bat saw the tall turquoise-haired MIB stood with his companions.

" He's an MIB Agent from Uranus, I think, " Aegis replied as she snapped her fingers. " Wait... He could be one of those dogs! "

" The Ancient Legend of the Ten Infinity Dogs that defeated the Mad Tyrant? So sorry, I am from a distant possible future. "

" Yes! That Uranian MIB Agent is one of them! "

" I wonder if this how the Earth breaks up and is reformed into Mobius by Mighty Flynt? "

" No offense, but we are trying to avoid your future, " Leonard answered. Suddenly, Aegis received a message from Cayde-6 when she checked her phone and read aloud.

" Watch for red giants and armored beasts, they're ready to blast you away! "


Stuart handed his friends weapons from the Destiny game as the others saw them in surprise. Agent NE whispered to TO and Aegis as he couldn't believe in what he saw from Dr. Cooper's friends. Then, a group of Cabal Blind Legion soldiers and the Behni M-Troopers appeared.

" Cool! We play Destiny! " Leonard beamed.

" You are about to play for real right now! " Stuart added.

" You cringy idiots! Look out! " Aegis yelled when the Cabal Blind Legion aimed their slug throwers at the people. The others prepared themselves to fight.

" They are in. Take this! " Cooper shot their heads. " Phaser rifle! "


" If only Dr. Pyromaniac, Madame Firefly and the other Avengers were here, " Aegis sighed and absorbed the blasts and reflected them to explode. The Behni and Cabal ended up in ashes.
" Taste hell, monsters!" Cooper angrily yelled while shooting them. Suddenly, he was wounded.
" NOOOOOO!! " Penny screamed in fear.


" You bastards! " Howard cried.

" For Sheldon! " Raj yelled and kept shooting at the invaders. Suddenly, Aegis immediately flew to her fellow KNIGHT Agent which she took the first aid kit from the infirmary and treated his wounds.


" Cooper, you're really an idiot! " she sighed. Meanwhile, Agent Omega observed the tumult as his phone rang. Agent TO's name flashed as he picked it up and answered.


" Good news, Talbot's awakening! " he said. " His gravitonium transfer reached to ninety-five percent. "

" Okay! They are coming in the front door! TO, we need you here! " Omega answered.

" I'm on it! " he ended the call as he teleported from the lab. Agent NE quickly ran and blew the invaders away and sent them flying

" Yeah! A Neptunian hurricane will do! " the tall blue-haired MIB beamed. UR kept blasting the other invaders and ignored Omega.


" NE, we need to make sure we secure this. TO, check on the fight! "
Then, a Cabal Loyalist Colossus soldier got the drop on the others, aiming at Sheldon. TO slashed the Behni with his Sangre as NE blew them away. UR quickly pushed Cooper and Aegis away and blasted the armored ones.Opus mounted his shotgun over the door way and shot a thunderous blast of shells at the invaderd. Hodge Podge Rabbit and Pourtney Ground Hog tossed some pinapple grenades at the incoming qave of invaders. Agent Dallas and Katchoo sniped at them as they entered the foyer. The Uranian MIB continued to blast his energy from his hands when his Neptunian partner the invaders away.
" They are still coming in! " Leonard cried.


" There are so many invaders! " the Indian scientist exclaimed.


" I'm trying to stop them..." NE panted.

" Me too, kid... " TO nodded.
Milo fired a pistol with his boyish hands, Binkley shot a jet of flames at them. Agent Dallas opened up with an M-60 he fired from the hip and directly hit at the Cabal's head.
" Take that green blooded creeps! " he indignantly yelled. Aegis quickly arrived at the fighting team when they noticed her. NE the Neptunian looked around which he was looking for Omega which he found the Blue-Lipped MIB crowded by a group of Behni and Cabal soldiers.


" Guys, we have a problem! " Aegis called. " I saw something from the monitor with Cooper. the Behni Carrier Ship arrived to attack along with the Cabal Fleet! "

" They must have been teleported past the Arcnet, " Agent TO seriously replied.

" If only, no one stole the GRAVITONIUM, TRICKED, and DISTRACTED ANYONE, " UR stressed his words and indignantly glared at Cooper. " At least, our problems would never get EVEN WORSE! "

" Tell me, what is your problem? " Cooper asked.

" YOU! "

" Guys! Guys! Stop this nonsense! " NE called anyone's attention as they turned to him. " Omega's got surrounded by the Cabal and Behni! He needs us right, now! "


" Okay, let's just settle down and confront this guy in-trouble... " Agent TO said as he saw the Behni named Zypeaker and the Cabal Blind Legion Commander Primus Sha'aul talking and threatening Agent Omega . " What the hell?! "
" Tell us, where's the Gravitonium? " the Behni man asked.


" I don't know! " he raised his voice.

" LIAR! " Primus Sha'aul punched his face as the two races laughed at him.

" Why are you saying that?! "

" Emperors Calus and Lockbn ordered us to take it! " Zypeaker answered. " Lord Thanos is giving us the signal to get it! "

" You don't understand! I said, ' I don't know! ' "

" KILL HIM! " Zypeaker commanded the Behni and Cabal soldiers to execute the Hispanic MIB. TO and the others were ready to attack them, however a mustached man walked over and confronted the people.

" Everyone, let's just settle this mess, " he grinned.

" Who are you? " Primus Sha'aul asked.

" I'm former General Glenn Talbot, " he answered and turned to the invaders. " I ask you to let my friend go. "

" Why would we? We're going to kill him! " Zypeaker laughed.

" Really? I don't think so..." Talbot sternly glared as he clenched his fists and levitated the Behni general. Everyone was surprised to see him.

" LET ME GO! LET ME GO! "

UR, NE, and the others got terrified to see the red skinned man was yelling which Talbot warped, pulled, and crushed him into ashes. It was the fate of Zypeaker, the Behni general. The Behni and Cabal mumbled in their own language as they were afraid to fight the gravitonium infused Earth-man. Primus Sha'aul was interested to see Talbot's new ability. The man erupted the Stronghold's ceiling as he flew-up and destroyed the Behni ship in seconds. Then, he descended onto the ground.

" What's the matter? " Talbot smirked. " Are you all afraid of me? "

Everyone gulped in fear and remained silent as Omega got released from the hands of the invaders. He felt pleased to see his friend when Talbot crossed his arms.

" Glenn! " the Hispanic MIB beamed. " Thank goodness, you're okay! You have powers then! Can you take us to..."

" Nope, I have other plans, " Talbot grinned as he stretched his hands to Aegis or Sharon Ventura. He absorbed her into his body when she loudly screamed. Agents UR, NE, and the others wanted to save her, but it was too late.

" Glenn! What did you do?! " Omega raised his voice. " You..."

" You don't know what I am capable of. "

" And I looked, and behold a white horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth."

He evily grinned and took Omega as he caused a tremor on the ground and lifted-off from the sky. Everyone couldn't believe in what they saw. Agent TO received a message from Qrow Branwen as he read.

" There's a quinjet going to NYC. Prepare yourselves to defend our forces."

" Guys, let's go home, " TO said to the others. " People need us. "

Suddenly, Agent R's named flashed on the phone as TO received a call from her. A fellow Remnite MIB Agent's voice was heard.

" TO, here."

" Something's terrible on the ground!" Agent R anxiously said.

" What is it? " TO asked as he was concerned and the others were listening.

" The Behni and the Cabal has increased their forces going to Manhattan! " she answered. " The Vex, Fallen, Hive, and the others are coming to fight them! This is a mass destructive plot! "

" R, where are you and the other guys? "

" We're already on New York City Streets and on our way to MIB and SHIELD Headquarters. Will see you guys later."

" Okay, we're catching up."



(UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT AUSTIN GROUNDS NEAR KNIGHTS STRONGHOLD, SAN JACINTO BOULEVARD, 1:00 PM)


Wandering around the streets, Nathan Hale became more disoriented to see deaths and disasters going on. His memory of losing Luanne Platter still lingered at this moment. He looked around the damaged structures all over the streets and walked on the crowd full of local law enforcements. He found a bench at sidewalk and sat down to ease himself. Suddenly, a blonde woman sat beside him as he curiously looked at her.

" This chaos bring more people together, kid. " she calmly said. " No wonder why do these people strive to exist. "

" Madame, May I know your name? " he asked.

" General Helga Hale, " she smiled. " How about you? "

" Nathan, Nathan Hale..."

" I see, " she nodded. " You sound familiar though. My father spoke about my ancestor and told me a lot of stories..."


" No, it can't be! " Nathan widened his eyes in shock and instantly stood up. " No! No! "


" What's wrong, Nathan? "

" You mentioned your father's stories, am I right? " he raised his tone. " Your ancestor, my brother's descendant is a Great American Traitor! You are just like him! You are trying to...."

General Helga Hale in her expressionless face instantly shot him on his head. Nathan fell down and bled as he closed his eyes. Suddenly, he opened his eyes as he returned to his timeline. Everyone was watching the execution as Nathan looked around. The executioners noticed his bleeding forehead and approached him. The young man collapsed as the Provost and the Hangman carried him.

" Tell us, who did this to you? " the British official asked.

" Did someone kill you? " the Hangman added.

" M-my brother's descendant..." Nathan wearily replied as he was dying. " P-promise me to let the world know my last words. "

The young man finally breathed as the Provost Marshal and the Hangman exchanged glances which they seemed baffled from the deceased's last words.



(THE LEVIATHAN AND THANOS'S SPACECRAFT NEAR EARTH'S ORBIT)



" Let us out of here! " Magdaleno Dannablicke yelled.
" STOP HURTING US! " Brian Griffin added. " YOU'RE MAKING TOO MUCH PAIN! STOP! STOP!"
The Mad Titan evily yelped and watched the several prisoners being tortured and used the Reality Stone. He turned their normal bodies into warped ones which they were suffering and crying from pain. Rull was interested to see them as the Psions and the Behni troopers laughed at them.


" Oh, you can see your consequence from what you have done, " Thanos said to the prisoners and turned to Mr. Griffin. " It seems you are trying to be like me, talking dog-man! "

" Hey, Mr. Purple Kool-Aid! You won't win this time, ever! "

" Oh do you even think of that," he smirked and revealed an imagery using his time stone. Griffin widened his eyes in shock. " You tricked me into starting a war among my men which you have wiped them out! I should be dealing with those weaklings not you! "

" Because you are no match for me! "

" Oh really? I can give you the cruelest tortures for you, even though I appreciated you for making me see what was necessary to improve the universe! "

" What? You're gonna turn anyone into ashes?! "

" You'll just see! " Thanos levitated the white talking dog using the Power Stone and tried to crush him.

" NO! NO! NO! STOP! PLEASE STOP! NO! NO! "

Suddenly, a white armored woman with golden trimmings and purple robes appeared as she interrupted the purple man's torturing to the white dog. She stood beside him and cleared her throat as Thanos turned around and ceased his work.

" What is it, Fulminator? "

" Lord Thanos, Emperors Calus and Lockbn have invited you for a confederacy meeting," she answered. " Your attendance is needed."

" I see. What will be the agenda? "

" Preparations for the Greatest Onslaught in New York City and your appearance. My lord, we also
