Avengers Forever

Avengers Forever is an upcoming fanfic made by either Chernobog1595 or TemhotaTech that takes place during the Ultima Saga.

In this adventure, the vile Immortus sends his servant Tempus to kill an apparently critically ill Rick Jones, the possessor of the "Destiny Force," a powerful ability utilized during the Kree-Skrull War storyline. Rick, however, is saved by the alien Kree Supreme Intelligence, who urges him to use the Destiny Force to summon aid. With the help of former Zodiac member Libra, Rick pulls various members of the superhero team Avengers to stop him.

The team consists of Captain America, Yellowjacket, Hawkeye, Wasp, Captain Marvel, and Songbird, formerly Screaming Mimi.

Although these Avengers appear almost randomly-selected, Libra states that they have been chosen due to his subtle awareness of the universal balance, each one fulfilling an eventually-clarified role in events.

The Avengers battle Immortus across several different eras, and discover the villain possesses the Forever Crystal, an artifact that can control multiple realities. Kang the Conqueror (who is destined to evolve into Immortus) aids the Avengers as part of his 'rebellion' against his apparent destiny, and reveals that Immortus serves a trio of entities called the Time Keepers, with his previous interactions with the team having been motivated by an effort to keep humanity limited to prevent them from developing into a threat to the universe. These entities eventually reveal that, in various futures- although they reveal later on that this will only take place in forty-two percent of the futures they have witnessed-, mankind will travel into space and establish the Terran Empire, which will be at the cost of many alien cultures. A future version of the Avengers will apparently be at the forefront of the expansion, but the Avengers reject the idea that mankind must be destroyed or contained to prevent these futures happening, Captain America and Songbird arguing that humanity deserves a chance to show that it can be better rather than being condemned for things that have not happened yet and may not even take place in their worlds.

Kang aids the Avengers and in the final battle kills the Time Keepers when they attempt to punish Immortus for failing, the Avengers resolving to strike against the Time-Keepers even after they learn their enemies' motives, arguing that the Time Keepers only seek to eliminate those that might threaten them when they do not even attempt to erase themselves despite the existence of alternate timelines where they themselves became the Time-Twisters. At the same time, however, the Time Keepers' attempts to 'force' Kang to become Immortus after they killed the future Immortus results in a temporal backlash due to Kang's strength of will and the unique temporal conditions of the conflict, culminating in Kang and Immortus being recreated as separate beings (compared to Immortus 'splitting' the original Human Torch into itself and the future Vision). Captain Marvel merges with Rick to save his life, which leads to Rick becoming the new Captain Marvel and eventually has all the Avengers return to their home.

In the epilogue, it is revealed that Padro Lodo had engineered the conflict against the Time Keepers in order to destroy the Society and the Avengers. He then has Hades resurrect the Time Keepers, only to merge them together into a singular Heartless entity under his control so that their time paradoxical ways wouldn't get out of hand. As for the traitors Immortus and Space Phantom, Lodo has them locked in a timeless prison where they can't escape by using time manipulation.
