The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes

You dare come here and challenge me?

Tell your master he has made a grave mistake.

No one challenges Karnilla.

I am...

Well done, Mortal.

Zemo was right, your power is impressive.

The Norn queen is a formidable opponent.

Or was at least.

Come, Skurge, let's us give the grey gargoyle his reward.

And then we should collect our prize.

Oh, how much longer are we supposed to wait, Zemo?

All will be revealed soon, abomination.

The time has come, Mortals.

As promised.

Ah, the Norn stones you spoke of.

How are a bunch of rocks supposed to help us take over the world?

The stones are but the first step, Chemistro.

And where is grey gargoyle?

The battle was hard fought.

He did not make it.

Today we become the masters of Earth.

Gentlemen, prepare to be amazed.

Okay.

Well, this is for Thor, mostly.

And no offense, cap.

None taken.

You were saying, iron man?

Right. As you know, T'challa and I have been

working on a way to get you back into Asgard.

We think we've got it.

Ta-da.

I do not understand how this machine

can Pierce the veil between Midgard and the other realms.

What we need is a weak spot,

somewhere the two planes overlap.

In that spot, we use the door to create a wormhole.

You go in here, you come out in Asgard.

Truly, my friends, I'm impressed.

Not to rain on your parade, Tony.

But I saw a similar machine do that same kind of thing

back in my day.

It worked, too.

Where?

It wasn't your fault, Hank.

You couldn't have known what would happen with Ultron.

You don't understand, jan.

I should have.

After all, my mind was the basis for Ultron's

this is not your fault.

You are not Ultron.

Thor's alive and everything worked out.

We're going to be okay, Hank.

Please, don't leave.

Jan, the whole time I've been with the avengers,

I've been betraying everything I believe in.

I embraced violence, and then created something worse.

I created a robot that almost ended all life on Earth.

That's about as far from okay as I can imagine.

Wasp, we need you in the assembly room.

You're gonna want to hear this.

Bucky and I had infiltrated

a hydra base in Norway,

rumor was that the red skull

had some kind of doomsday weapon there.

But what we found was beyond anything we'd ever seen.

The skull had a machine similar to yours

and he was pulling monsters through it into our world.

He was enslaving them, putting collars on the creatures.

He was creating an army to take over the world.

And if Bucky and I hadn't stopped him...

But you did, captain.

And from your tale, it would seem that

this red skull did indeed open a portal to the Asgardian realms.

The creatures you describe, they are familiar to me.

Hang on, I've got satellite images coming in on hydra base.

Jarvis, trace the energy coming from that location.

This spot. This is what I was talking about.

This is a point where two planes are overlapping

like a dimensional fault line.

Fancy. So what are we looking at?

Ley lines.

Veins of magic that run through our world, connecting it to others.

Or, as iron man would say,

paths of other-dimensional energy that reveal weak spots

between the dimensions.

In this case, there are eight, not counting Earth.

One for each realm.

It is said the nine realms are interconnected by Yggradsil,

the tree of life.

Big tree.

Call it whatever you want.

This is how we're gonna get you home.

Alert, dimensional energy flares in progress.

Something's affecting the energy at each of the locations,

except one that's in an active volcano.

Thor, wait.

Nay. If the threat we face is Asgardian,

I will not allow it to put Midgard in jeopardy again.

Well, we Mortals certainly appreciate that.

But you're on a team, remember?

Seven locations, seven avengers.

Whatever's going on, we'll deal with it together.

Stay in radio contact.

If you find anything, call it in.

Avengers, assem...

well, actually, avengers, dissemble.

They are coming.

You can finally earn your reward, Zemo.

For if you and your team succeed today,

you will be given Midgard as promised.

You need not worry, enchantress.

I know their strengths and weakness now.

I know the avengers better than they know themselves.

Guys, I think I've got something.

Some kind of glowy, magic looking rock.

Hang on.

If got any last words for your friends,

now's the time.

Anyone want to switch spots?

Jan repeat. What's happening?

It's a trap. Abomination is here.

Wasp, get out of there. Wasp!

Magical energy source located.

Warning, pulse in progress.

Laser!

That's living laser, iron man.

Living, as in something you're not going to be in about five seconds.

You have no idea

how much I've been looking forward to this.

I don't know if you heard him,

but iron man recommended you run.

You're done, do you hear me?

There's no escape for you.

Paste pot Pete?

No, wait, you're the hypno-hustler.

Am I right?

How can you not remember who I am?

You punched me in the face!

That doesn't really narrow it down, pal.

I'm warning you, avenger, back off.

I don't want to fight you,

but I can't let you have the stone.

I can only assume the other masters of evil

have been dispatched to the remaining six locations.

What interest does Zemo have in Asgard?

Zemo, he... it's nothing that you can stop.

I hear the doubt in your voice.

Whatever Zemo is planning, you obviously have reservations.
