I am Uatu The Watcher, and I have been overseeing this sector of the cosmos for decades. Together, we have watched the birth of Avatar Korra and the ascension of the Mighty Thor. We have witnessed the arrival of Galactus and the formation of the Avengers, Earth's Mightiest Heroes.

But now, a more sinister threat approaches the Earth after eleven months of peace. I've taken my vow to not to interfere with these beings' existence…we must watch the unfolding events, even if it costs us reality itself.

Republic City, Earth…11 Months After

Peace reigned after the Grandmaster's defeat and the alternate Avengers left this reality. The country, the United Republic, was growing ever so larger as the Earth Kingdom gave it more land and the Fire Nation gave it more militaristic power.

The heroes were as well experiencing productivity, with villains and thugs being incarcerated, Chief Bei Fong asked the Chancellor that a new police station and prison to be built to keep the criminals in. But the one that experience the most joy was not police officers or the street heroes but a hero from another realm…

Asgard, The Realm Eternal

The All-Father's Palace

"Thor." A white-armored man said as he walked down the halls and rooms of the great palace of the gods. "Brother."

"What is it Balder?" Loki, the little God of Mischief asked.

"Loki, have you seen the All-Father?" Balder, God of Light asked.

"Uhh…he is probably in his quarters." Loki answered.

"Thanks." Balder responded as he jogged through the palace and went over several stairs until he reached the top.

"Mighty Thor." Balder said as he knocked at the great golden door that led towards the All-Father's private quarters. The gates opened, and from it came…

"Keep quiet." An annoyed Ms. Marvel said in a low tone. "Don't you see that Magni is sleeping?"

"Uhh…sorry." Balder said as he reminded himself that the Crown Prince of Asgard was just two months old. "May I?"

Ms. Marvel smiled and forgave the God of Light for his rudeness and allowed him to enter the enormous living room full of several trophies, chairs, tables and books. Over the fireplace, the spear of the sky, Gungnir hung as a reminder to Thor to rule wisely.

Balder followed Asami, also known as Ms. Marvel, to the Prince's Chamber. "Lord Thor." Balder said as he kneeled in front of the Mighty Thor, Lord of Asgard as he held his infant son in his arms.

"Rise brother." Thor said with a cheerily voice. "Look Magni, its uncle Balder."

"Thor, I have…grave news." Balder reported as he stood up. He looked around, the chamber was painted in a blue-sky color, a crib rested on the middle of the room and a small bust of Odin was placed on top of a wardrobe.

"Please brother, it is a time to rejoice for Asgard has a crown prince once more." Thor said as he looked at his son. Magni Thorson, son of Thor and grandson of Odin, the first in a line of kings. Besides retaining his father's electric-blue eyes, Magni looked more like his mother.

His light almost yellow brown hair was thick, and skin was tanned just like his mother. Thor still didn't know what type of god his son would grow up to be, but ever since the moment he was born in Asgard, was his strength amazing, being able to fracture Volstagg's thumb when he tried to cuddle him.

"But Lord, it is news from our friends, the Vishnu." Balder said.

"The Vishnu? What does our friend Brahma want?" Thor asked.

"He has called in a meeting of the Skyfathers, something bad has occurred." Balder answered. "Zeus, Agni, Yue, Viracocha, Oberon and Titania have answered the summoning."

"Hmm…" Thor thought deeply as he looked as his son.

"Not telling him anything bad are we now, Balder?" Korra asked as she walked inside the room. For someone who had given birth two months ago, Korra still retained her athletic body aside from a bit weight gain. The Asgardian's magic is really efficient.

"My Queen, pardon my gloom but a meeting has been schedules between the gods." Balder apologized.

"A meeting? What happened?" Korra asked as Thor gave Magni to her.

"The Kamis, we have lost contact we them…and the bridge towards realms of the Vishanti and Proemial Gods has been destroyed." Balder revealed.

"That's odd; none of the Spirits told me about a great disturbance." Korra said.

"Does it have anything to do with the Grandmaster?" Ms. Marvel asked.

"The Grandmaster for now is silent, and the Space Gods are dumbfounded." Balder responded.

"I must go." Thor said as he looked at Korra. "Odin was the leader of the Skyfathers, without him they are not capable of cooperating together, I must keep them united."

"Go then, we'll be fine." Korra responded. Thor smiled and followed Balder outside.

"You think something bad is going to happen?" Asami asked.

"I hope not…not now." Korra answered as Magni woke from his sleep and demanded nourishment.

The Nexus

A lone man floated in a realm that connected to many, this man is the master of all types of mystic energies, is name is Dr. Zemphim Strange, Sorcerer Supreme.

'Hmm…? There is something wrong…something is off in the mystical fields.' He though as he was taken off from his meditation. 'Darkness.'

Suddenly he was surrounded by extreme obscurity, and a monstrous being came out of it.

"Who are you?" Strange asked the beast.

"We Are Many. We Are All. A pantheon of one million in one. And I will bring Glory to this devastated universe." The beast answered.

"Something tells me that you are not alone." Strange said as he prepared to be attacked when he was then teleported away from the Nexus.

Republic City

"Huh?" Suddenly he was back on Earth. He tried all the spells he could but he couldn't re-enter the Nexus. "This is bad…very bad." Strange said as he looked at the blue sky.

"Darkness…a void of darkness." Dr. Strange said as he walked towards his home, the Sanctum Sanctorum.
