The heroes and villains charged at one another at last after Captain America shouted. The final battle for three worlds had begun, and the need for fighting had started. Spider-Mane immediately noticed Lex making a run for it, and chased after him, shooting a line of webbing at the wall to sling himself forward. Once he neared Lex, the scientist disappeared from sight. "Damn it!" shouted Peter, slamming his hooves on the floor in frustration.

Twilight teleported next to Peter, "What happened?"

"Lex ran off like the coward he is." Peter growled.

"He did? We should tell Superman!" Twilight told him. Peter nodded and the two ran back to the battlefield.

The Flash, Rainbow Dash, and Quicksilver challenged the Rival and Reverse-Flash, the evil speedsters glaring at them. "Hey, you ready for round two?" Rainbow snarled, smashing her hooves together in anger,

"For me to win? Why yes." Rival boasted, flapping his wings and flying away, being followed by Rainbow Dash.

The Flash sighed, "What do you want this time, Thawne? I thought we sent you packing last time you attacked Canterlot."

"Your torment."

Quicksilver chuckled as he adjusted his headphones, "How cliche."

The speedsters followed the future speedster clad in yellow, beginning their final battle. "You know, Quicksilver. I could kill you anytime I want to."

"Then why haven't you done so?" Maximoff wondered.

Reverse-Flash smirked, "I want to see if you're as capable as the Flash. It will make your demise more satisfying."

"Your mistake." Barry commented, shoving Thawne while trotting, moving him to the side slightly. "I'll send you back to the future, Reverse-Flash."

"Then I'll just keep coming back." Thawne smirked.

"Not if we stop you!" Quicksilver shoved Reverse-Flash, angering him. He chased Maximoff with Barry following them.

In the sky were Wonder Woman and Thor, who challenged the mind-controlled Captain Marvel, "It doesn't have to be this way fellow champion." Thor warned, spinning his hammer in his right hand as he spoke, still ready to fight.

"It's no use, Thor. He's under their control." Wonder Woman told him. "We have no choice."

The God of Thunder responded, "Verily. Tis nothing personal." he said to the Chosen Champion, swinging his hammer in the god's face. His face refused to budge at the attack, but Wonder Woman managed to slash her sword in his chest, though that did no damage as well. Thor jabbed his left hand in Marvel's direction and punched him in the stomach before Diana tied him up.

But Captain Marvel freed himself, throwing a bolt of thunder from his hand. Luckily, Thor countered it and hit him with a current of electricity from Mljnoir. "Ha! You dare use thunder against the God of Thunder!? You are more foolish than I thought!"

Near the gods were Green Lantern and Sinestro, the two of them using their power rings to combat one another. "So, you live Jordan. I thought you perished when the Legion of Doom attacked."

"I have more willpower than you think, Sinestro." Hal quipped, creating a fencer sword to attack the Yellow Lantern, "I'm surprised you joined Luthor. What do you get out of this?"

"Conquest, Lantern Jordan. I shall succeed in where the Guardians failed. Like I did to save my planet." Sinestro revealed, creating a missile and launching it at Hal.

"Save it? You mean take control of it?" Hal snarled, tossing the missile into space by creating a green claw to grab it.

"I did what was necessary!" Sinestro hissed, attacking Green Lantern with some bolts of energy. Hal responded by creating a shield in front of him, styled after Captain America. He then moved his arm and swung it in Sinestro's face.

Flying around were Iron Man and Falcon. The Armored Avenger gave a small quip as they chased, "Hey, so uh, Steve would be pretty pissed if I beat you. And honestly, I would be too. So how about you just turn back to normal?"

In response, Falcon threw his darted hologram wings at Tony, who shot them all with a few repulsor blasts, "Well, that wasn't very nice." with a sigh, he flew after Falcon again.

Back on the ground, Captain America was fighting the Winter Soldier, although relunctantly, "Bucky! You're better than this! You're not a puppet to anyone!" Steve pleaded, blocking Winter Soldier's metal hoof with his shield.

Winter Soldier gave the Captain a punch using his actual hoof, surprising Steve. Captain America charged forward, tackling Bucky and ramming him with his shield. "I lost you once, pal. I'm not losing you again to these monsters."

Picking himself up, Steve watched as Bucky threw his metal hoof forward with a blade on it. The two stood on their hind legs to fight. Winter Soldier kept moving the blade forward, but Captain America deflected and blocked each attempt at stabbing with his own hooves, bringing down his hooves each time Bucky dared to move. The two moved swiftly, countering each other perfectly. The duel ended once Bucky rammed his other hoof onto Steve's throat, choking him.

The two moved backwards onto a building wall. He saw two bystanders watching and with a pant he said, "L-Leave!" at that, the few ponies ran off, allowing Steve to focus. Winter Soldier brought the blade forward again, but this time, Cap moved his head, where the knife lodged itself into the wall with how powerful the soldier pushed. Winter Soldier then moved his hoof to the side dragging the knife with him.

Using his strength, Captain America trotted to the left where the blade continued to trail him. After a few seconds, Steve kicked Bucky's legs where he was stunned long enough to get his shield where Winter Soldier brought his hoof down upon it.

Nearby were Nightwing and Joker, the Clown Prince of Crime laughed as he tried to punch the former sidekick, only to get an elbow to the back of the head. "Do you want me to leave you as a bloody pulp again, Nightstink?"

"No, and your nicknames are getting really terrible." Nightwing huffed, using his escrima sticks to shock Joker, "And you only won because you cheated and had Beetle attack me."

"Cheated?" Joker feigned being offended in response, "Why, I was only practical and used my resources, like the Dork Knight would. Aren't you his son after all?"

"In a way," Nightwing growled, uppercutting the Joker. Shaking his head, Joker pulled out a small pistol, shooting Nightwing, but Grayson dodged in time, hitting Joker again with his weapon.

Joker shot at Nightwing again, this time he flip-kicked the clown in the chest before landing on him and punching him unconscious, a smile still seen on his face, "Still ugly..."

Meanwhile, Batman was fighting Deathstroke one on one. "The game is over, Batman. I'm getting a hell of a sum for being the one to finally kill you."

"Too bad that day isn't today." Batman replied, using the scallops on his gauntlets to block Deathstroke's sword.

Slade used his staff to charge after Batman, the Dark Knight using his hooves to grab it and spin it around, performing a powerful headbutt on the assassin. Deathstroke spun back, hitting the other end of the staff on Batman's back, surprising him and he grunted in slight pain, getting down to a knee.

Deathstroke brought down his sword, but luckily, Batman managed to get his bearings and somersaulted to the right, missing the blade as it hit the ground. "You have improved since last we fought. A better challenge than the Green Arrow fhat's for sure." he admitted.

"Even Green Arrow can beat you." Batman taunted, giving Slade a right hook. With a swing of his left hoof, Batman punched Slade again before Slade kicked him and pushed him back.

Human Torch and Iceman decided to take on Captain Cold and Heatwave with assistance from Applejack. Captain Cold smirked as he taunted, "Look at that, the little pony thinks she can beat us." he shot his cold gun at the farmpony and she slid out of the way in time, doing the same once Heatwave mirrored his actions.

"Yeah. You should burn like the others." Rory growled.

"Well, this pony can kick yer flank five ways to Sunday!" Applejack snarled, seeing Johnny throw a fireball at Heatwave's direction, making him counter with his heat gun.

Before Iceman could attack, however, a strange beam of light struck him and Johnny, turning them back to normal. Applejack's eyes went wide at the sight of Alchemy, who had his stone raised. While she was distracted, Cold shot at the farmpony with a kinetic blast, making her cold and stunned as a result.

Sunset Shimmer shot a concussive spell at Alchemy, who used the stone to block it in time. "What is that anyway?"

"A powerful force you cannot imagine." Alchemy boasted, raising his hooves slowly.

The unicorn rolled her eyes, "Sure." she said, using a telekinesis spell on Alchemy, who nullified it with ease. He shot Sunset, but the unicorn created a forcefield in time to stop it from hitting her. "Magic against magic, now we're playing fair." the two magical energies collided again, Alchemy using his full power.

Twilight was chasing after Beetle, who threw various explosives around the battleground at the soldiers evacuating the civilians. With a charged spell she shot at the mercenary, making him fall to the ground for a moment. "You are not hurting anypony else." the alicorn said right as a line of webbing revealed itself on Beetle's hoof.

"You know, Beetle. I thought we were done." Spider-Mane groaned, throwing him onto a wall. Beetle grabbed a piece of debris and threw it Peter after he got his bearings. "Wow, really? A rock? Now you've gotten petty, Beetle."

Beetle lunged forward, and Peter turned around, using his Spider-Sense to dodge each attack. "Twilight! Make sure the guards evacuate every pony in the empire! I'll take care of my C-List nemesis!" he told her but she spoke back.

"But what about you?" the alicorn said.

Spider-Mane grabbed a crystal, using it to hold Beetle's hoof upwards. "We got the Avengers, Justice League and the Guardians! I think we'll be fine!" he pushed forward, driving his hoof onto Beetle's barrel, the assassin responding with a swipe to the wall-crawler's chest. "I got Beetle here!" after hearing that, Twilight slowly nodded, running through the city with the guards.

"Just like old times huh, Beetle?" Peter joked, aiming a wad of webbing at Beetle's masked eyes. While he tried to rip ot off, Peter slammed his hoof on his mask, cracking it slightly, "You are always silent while I point out how pathetic you are."

Beetle activated his shoulder missles while he yanked the gossamer off of his face. "Then again, you could always do something like that..." Spider-Mane sighed, watching as the projectiles neared him. The web-slinger flicked his hooves, shooting two missiles and throwing them into the sky in the process. "Woah!" he yelped, leaning back to avoid another. He stretched a hoof backwards to catch it while using his other hoof to web up the other and threw them into the air. "Nevermind. Now I remember why I considered you a C-Lister."

Using his staff, Beetle attacked Spider-Mane where the wall-crawler webbed away the weapon, "But if it makes you feel any better, I considered you a bigger threat than Shocker." he quipped, hitting Beetle in the jaw.

In response, Beetle activated his jet. Spider-Mane webbed him and threw him back on the ground, creating cracks as a result. "Sorry, no escaping this time. But I'll say this much. You attacked a town with a group of maniacal supervillains. At least your predecessor had some heart." he criticized. "So, in my opinion that makes you way worse."

Before he could continue, he felt something sting him. Peter turned around, seeing the Spider-Slayer, who he decked in the face, "Really, Smythe? I was in the middle of something. Can it wait?" he groaned, rubbing the sore spot as he got to his hind legs, ready to fight Alistair.

Near the castle, Hawkeye, Black Widow, Wolverine, and Drax were fighting Solomon Grundy. Hawkeye shot an ice arrow at the zombie, but he broke himself free. "Anyone care to remind me why Luthor thought recruiting a zombie was a good idea?" asked Clint, looking at his comrades.

"No." Drax stated bluntly, the destroyer digging his swords into Grundy, who roared in pain. Grundy grabbed Drax by the head and tossed him away.

"Hell if I know, Clint." Logan grunted, using his claws to slice Grundy, the zombie able to take the blows dealt.

"Grundy break you!" Grundy yelled before Natasha tased him briefly with a hoof taser.

"We get enough of that from the green guy." she quipped.

Grundy smashed the ground and charged after Black Widow, Wolverine jumping in front of her and driving his claws into the zombie's chest before stunning him. "Ya ain't comin' back by the time I'm through with you."

Superman, the Hulk, and Groot all stared down Doomsday, the monster roaring in response. The Man of Steel charged first at the mindless monster, creating a shockwave as a result. Doomsday ran back, destroying anything in his path. Hulk cracked his hooves, "Hulk smash Doomsday!"

The Hulk and Doomsday's hooves collided, making a soundwave that tore apart the surrounding area. Doomsday slashed the green giant with the spikes protruding from his body, green blood dripping from his stomach as a result. Hulk gritted his teeth, slamming his hoof onto the top of Doomsday's head.

Groot yelled trapping Doomsday with a few vines and branches coming from his body, giving Superman an opportunity to ram his hooves into Doomsday. "Thank you, Groot."

"I am Groot."

Hulk smirked, "Hulk think Groot alright if he helps smash."

Groot smiled, tossing Doomsday into the air, where Superman grabbed him from the back before throwing him down. "We need to get him out of the area. Fate, Strange, are you able to hear me?" he asked, looking at the sky for a moment before focusing back on the monster, who was punched by the Hulk.

'Yes, Superman. We apologize we cannot participate in the battle, but we must keep the rifts open.' Fate answered.

Superman shook his head, "No need to apologize, Fate. I need you and Strange to open a portal real quick."

"Take gray guy to Hulk's world!" Hulk shouted, "Hulk want to smash him in home!"

"To the Marvel Earth." Superman finished.

Doosmday roared as he rammed his hoof onto Hulk again, where he was punched by Groot, "I am Groot!" the tree yelled, charging after the monster.

Meanwhile, Star-Lord, Gamora, and Rocket kept an eye on Vibe, who stayed in the Crystal Castle for a moment to open the portal, "So you gonna open the portal to Ponyville?"

"I need to focus!" Vibe yelled.

"Yeah, shut it Quill!" Rocket snarled.

Gamora looked at the raccoon, "I think he means you too, Rocket."

Cisco groaned, closing his eyes. He focused and suddenly a blue fortex opened up. Stepping out of it were Anti-Venom, Spider-Mane 2099, First Spider, Scarlet Spider, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Trixie, Spike, Ant-Man, and Deadpool. The Merc with a Mouth was the first to speak, "Aw yeah, more merchandising woohoo!"

"Shut up, Wade." groaned Kaine.

"Where are the others?" Star-Lord asked.

"Fluttershy is not really used to fighting, so we thought it'd be best if we left her there for the moment." Ben explained. "Black Cat and Luna are there just in case something goes wrong along with Zecora."

"And things will."

The group saw Loki, and they all nearly attacked him, but the Trickster God put up a forcefield, "Did you think my attack merely ended with the Legion of Doom? You are all sorely mistaken. I have an army that I can spread across the three worlds. And I can bring them here." he raised his staff, it glowing blue as it did something.





"Come on, we can keep going..." Shining Armor huffed, ordering the people to follow as they neared the train. Twilight appeared behind him, keeping an eye on the guards as well.

The white unicorn gulped as something else materialized into existence. An army of Chitauri. Twilight used her magic to shoot a few of them away with assistance from her brother. "Loki summoned his army! We have to hurry!"

Cadance nodded, "What are those things?"

"Aliens Peter called Chitauri, they fought the Avengers before. But we need to get the ponies to safety first!" Twilight said, flying ahead to hold back the alien army.





"I've also sent them to Ponyville and Canterlot. You cannot hope to reach everywhere at once." Loki chuckled, before disappearing from their sight and going back to where he was hiding within the Crystal Empire.

Gamora scowled, "I'm going to Ponyville. Close it behind me." she said, hopping into the portal. With a relunctant nod, Cisco waved his hoof and closed the breach.

"Well, we're down a Guardian." Star-Lord sighed.

Miguel narrowed his gaze, "No time to dwell on that. We have to warn Parker about this!"





The heroes' eyes went wide at the sight of Chitauri attacking. Spider-Mane had to focus on Spider-Slayer, Beetle and making sure he wasn't imagining things. "First the villains, now aliens. Some final battle this turned out to be." he groaned.

"Parker!"

Spider-Mane turned his head to the sound, but was unprepared to see his successor kick Spider-Slayer in the head. "Loki brought more Chitauri to Canterlot and Ponyville! Ponyville's covered for the most part, but Canterlot is pretty much defenseless!"

The wall-crawler hummed to himself, hitting Beetle again in the meantime. But while their enemies were stunned, he tossed O'Hara a strange crystal. "Take the Spider-Mobile near the outskirts of Canterlot. It's already on the GPS I installed. I think we should call in some old friends. I'll handle things from here while you're gone." he ordered.

Miguel nodded, "Right." he trotted off, leaving Peter to his fight,

"All alone again. You've made quite the mistake, Parker." Spider-Slayer taunted.

"Did I?"

At that moment, a white tendril attacked Spider-Slayer, slamming him through the wall of a building. Anti-Venom jumped from the roof, seeing the Chitauri near the duo. "About time you showed up, Brock." Peter called out.

Anti-Venom chuckled darkly, "Sorry. We were held up. I'm sure Miguel explained what happened to you."

Spider-Mane and Anti-Venom stood back-to-back, with Chitauri, Spider-Slayer and Beetle ready to attack them. "This is a moment I'd never thought I'd live to witness. The day Spider-Man and Venom form a bond and kick ass again."

"I told you I changed Parker, and I intend to be like that. Plus being in this world made me a better man." Anti-Venom admitted.

Back with the Doomsday fight, a portal opened up behind the monster. At that moment, Superman yelled, 'I'm sorry! I need to bring down Doomsday!" he and Hulk pushed the monster in, the breach closing behind them. This left Groot to aid in fighting the Chitauri with the other heroes.

After that, Vibe ran outside with Star-Lord and Rocket, "Who opened that portal?" asked Quill.

'It was me.'

Star-Lord jumped as did Vibe. "Who was that?!"

'Doctor Fate. Doctor Strange and I opened the rift to his New York. Cisco, we need your abilities in order to breach back there once Doomsday is defeated in order to retrieve him and Hulk. We can help you reach it.' revealed the magician. 'Using your Vibe abilities as you call them, you can change the tide of the battle.'

Cisco smirked, "Alright. I guess I'm playing with power then."

"Aw yeah. More portals!" Rocket cheered.





Marvel Earth, New York...

The Punisher reloaded his rifle, shooting the head off a Chitauri. "I thought they took the battle with them. Guess I was wrong."

Assisting him was Moon Knight, who threw a projectile on an alien, blowing it up in the process. "They will pay in the name of Khonshu." he whispered, kicking another behind him.

Hovering in the streets was Sleepwalker, who used his warp vision to entrap a few aliens within a distorted lamp post, allowing Moon Knight and Punisher to kill it. "I'm not one for lethal force... But these aliens have caused too much mayhem." he gestrued for more people to make a run for it.

Black Panther and Blade jumped from the rooftops, the latter using his sword to slice each alien apart as he landed on the ground next to Sleepwalker. The king of Wakanda revealed his claws and did the same to another Chitauri sniper from the rooftop across from them. "Yeah. But it sure beats killing vampires every night. It's a lot easier for sure." Blade commented.

Luke Cage and Iron Fist tag-teamed a Chitauri soldier, the former grabbing and throwing him, the latter punching him with his namesake to kill. Luke cracked his knuckles, "We're getting paid overtime for doing this. I can only do so much on the house."

"Oh, I agree." quipped Iron Fist.

Then, a portal opened, revealing Doomsday and Hulk who pushed the monster into New York. "Son of a bitch..." groaned the Punisher, seeing what was happening. 'I thought you left that thing in the depths of freaking space!"

"Hulk will break Doomsday!" the green hero shouted.

"Loki brought him back." revealed Superman, who appeared near the portal as it closed. "The two of us will handle him."

"You can't tell me what to do." Frank growled.

"If you like living on a planet, I'd advise it." warned the Man of Steel.

"It'd be best if you listen, Castle." Moon Knight warned.

Blade slashed more aliens in the blink of an eye, "At the very least, he has backup fighting the army."

Swiping his hands upwards, Black Panther scratched an alien's chest before throwing it over the shoulder, "We will leave Doomsday to you and Hulk, Superman. Do not worry about us."

With a snarl, Punisher ignored Superman and went back to shooting aliens.

Suddenly, a motorcyle drove into the street, a trail of fire behind it. The driver skid to a stop and stepped off. His skull was in flames and he grabbed a chain. "Luthor has sins to answer for. It's about time I make him pay. Starting with this monster."

Ghost Rider stared at Doomsday, "You should leave Doomsday to the two of us." advised Superman. "He's too powerful."

Johnny Blaze looked at the Man of Steel, "Then you don't know me. And I brought a friend."

Superman heard the sound of a car revving up nearby, and he glanced at Johnny woth a confused experssion. At that moment, a car sped by, hitting Doomsday. A trail of fire also followed it as it parked in the middle of the street. The door opened, revealing another man with a flaming skull. Unlike Blaze, he remained silent for the most part. Robbie Reyes grabbed his own chain, ready to fight with his predecessor.

"We will bring vengeance for those fallen." Robbie declared.

Superman sighed, "Fine. But then I'm making sure you stay here." he cracked his knuckles and charged after Doomsday, after he gave Hulk a right hook.

The Ghost Riders waited until Doomsday neared them to begin attacking. And so, the battle for Earth got more intense.
