The death of everything is coming

Snowflake is driving them to where they see the next mark, meaning they're heading for the Lighthouse and are after Madame Web and Peter now.

Sarge leaves the front and approaches May who's tied to a chair.

"Look at us. All by our lonesome at last." Sarge says.

"What do you want?" May asks. "Why am I here?"

"I want answers." Sarge tells her. "Why are you protecting these people? Do you know what they are? They're Destroyers."

"Peter a destroyer?" May clarifies. "He's not a destroyer of anything. He's different because he's traveled the multiverse to save people."

"What? No, he's different because he's one of the Chosen few." Sarge informs her.

"Chosen few to do what?" May asks.

"To kill the multiverse." Sarge states.

-

The team return to the lighthouse and learn about May's abduction and are now working on tracking her.

"We get anything from these guys?" Ava asks looking at the security footage of Pax and Jaco.

"Well, nothing useful." Yo-yo tells her. "Only that they call their boss Sarge, not Coulson. Big guy doesn't talk that much and tiny kid doesn't stop."

"Maybe I should go in." Peter says. "Maybe they'll talk to me."

"These are the same guys who are trying to kill you, you remember, right?" Deke reminds him.

"Yeah, and I want to know why." Peter states.

"Maybe let him in with the squirrly guy." Mack offers.

"Yeah, he'll talk easily." Coulson agrees and Peter goes to try a few of his Agent S interrogation approaches.

-

"What do you mean when you said, Destroy the multiverse?" May asks Sarge who's searching through her stuff.

"I've been to a lot of worlds, some good, some garbage. But I've never been to one where someone else looked exactly like me." Sarge confesses as he drops down in front of her. "So let's get into it. What is this guy? At least to you. You seem to follow him around, if I had to guess, I'd have to say you liked him. So this must be messing with your head."

"Can we get back to where you believe my nephew is supposed to be one of a few people to destroy the multiverse?" May asks, wanting to understand more about that.

Sarge just ignores her and stands back up. "So, this Imposter, what is he? A Synth? Shapeshifter?"

"The real question is what are you?" May asks him.

"I'm not buying it. Out of the whole multiverse, he just happened to be on the one planet that wasn't already destroyed? Try again. What is he?" Sarge asks her.

"Descent. Everything you're not." May states.

"Well, you know what they say. Every dream is someone else's nightmare." Sarge states.

"You're the imposter. You're the one from another universe, who traveled to ours. So, the question you should be asking is who are you?"

-

Madame Web and the others get ready to move out so that they can set a trap for Sarge, and she's now searching all the timeline sto see exactly how this will end.

"A Crisis?" Peter asks Pax as he sings like a canary. "Your group's traveling the multiverse to stop the end of the multiverse?"

"The man we're searching for is going to destroy everything, every reality, every universe. Nothing will survive." Pax states.

"Who's going to destroy it all?" Peter wonders.

-

"The Monitor." Sarge tells May. "Likes to think of himself as a god. He jumps from world to world, and infects the world with his Book of Destiny. Leaves the planet in ashes and then blames the world before moving onto the next. Now, he's created a weapon that can destroy realities. Enter universes, even space itself is being destroyed. We search for his followers to make him weaker by tracking anything that doesn't fit in each world and kill it."

"That's why you went after Deke." May realizes.

"Our tracker shows he's not from here, but he's no follower of Mar Novu. What is he?" Sarge wonders.

"Exhausting." May answers.

-

"Sarge must believe the Monitor is the monster in this situation. But he's not. I don't agree with his methods but he's doing what he needs to save the multiverse." Madame Web tells them on their way to a place to set the trap.

"And what exactly is he trying to prevent?" Peter asks.

-

"A crisis. It's coming. The death of everything." Sarge explains to May.

"You've seen it for yourself?" May asks.

"Too many times. First, it was with his Book of Destiny, now he has a weapon that can create a wave to destroy any reality he chooses. It's only a matter of time before he unleashes it on all of creation. This is as close as I've come to finding him and stopping him. I've been hunting him for as long as I can remember. The Monitor is a cancer, and I'm gonna make sure this is the last world he infects."

"How do you plan to do that?" May is afraid to ask.

"To stop the spread, you cut off the limb. When I find the two followers, I'm gonna kill them." Sarge promises as they seem to be nearing the location and May knows that means he's going for Madame Web and Peter.

-

The Rig comes to a stop and Madame Web is standing in the middle of the open.

Sarge exits the Rig and sees she's not doing anything.

"Come to finish the job?" Madame Web asks him.

"I've been hunting you and your kind all my life. Doesn't matter how far you run, I'll always find you." Sarge says.

"I know what the Monitor did to your world. I couldn't do anything to stop him, he's a higher being of unremarkable amount of power." Madame Web tells Sarge.

"Yet you're suppose to be able to see the future." Sarge replies.

"And the Monitor can strip me of that power just as easily." Madame Web informs him.

"Doesn't matter. Because you're not following him anymore." Sarge says and goes to shoot her when shots are fired and Sarge ducks to see the S.H.I.E.L.D. team is here.

Inside the rig, May takes work of Snowflake before exiting the vehicle with her hands tied.

Sarge doesn't seem to notice and she uses that to kick him down.

Coulson and the team approach seeing Sarge down.

"Took you long enough." May tells them.

Madame Web looks over to Peter and suddenly realizes what timeline they're in when a shot is fired at her and she feels her chest start to get cold.

"Web!" Peter yells as they look and see Sarge was able to crawl back to his gun and fired at Web. Mack grabs the gun and the man to separate them.

Peter grabs We as she falls to the ground and he checks on her wound and it's not good.

"I...knew this would happen." Madame Web assures Peter.

"Why didn't you stop it?" Peter asks.

"Some..." Web explains as she groans in pain. "Some destinies...they just can't be avoided. But there's...there's something you need to know..." She tries to tell him. "The...the Crisis...it's up to you..."

Madame Web dies in Peter's arms and leaving Peter to wonder what she was going to tell him.

And more importantly, what is this crisis that's coming?

-

Sarge and Snowflake are brought into the Lighthouse and Sarge was brought to the main room where everyone is surprised to see two Coulson's.

Peter, Ava are also there as Peter just wants to be there for when he's put away after what he did to Madame Web.

"So, this is what it's like to look in the mirror to see yourself." Sarge quips.

"Yeah, I-this is too much." Daisy comments on the doppelgänger.

"Everyone seems to have a lot of feelings around here." Sarge comments.

"Well, maybe it's time you start to share." Mack tells him.

"Ask this one." Sarge comments, looking to May. "She can bring you up to speed."

Everyone looks to May, hoping for some answers.

"He says he's here to stop a crisis that's going to destroy the multiverse. The man behind it all is called the Monitor. Madame Web and Peter are supposed to be followers of some kind. All of reality will be destroyed. That cover it?" May recaps what he told her.

"Yeah. Kinda does." Sarge agrees.

"Yeah, I'm not following anyone. Let alone someone called the Monitor." Peter states, "and neither was Madame Web. She saved our lives."

"A savior is just one thing anyone can be. One day you're a savior, the next you're a destroyer. I've seen it before. I guess that makes you the one in charge." Sarge says as he faces Coulson. "So here's how this works. You need to let me go or the multiverse is going to die."

"That a fact?" Coulson asks.

"Yes." Sarge confirms.

"Good. But I have a feeling we're gonna be spending some time together before we let you go. You tried to kill my nephew...take him to his cell." Coulson tells the agents and they drag him off.

Peter watches as he's dragged away and is happy to see he's gonna get what he deserved.

"You gonna be okay?" Ava asks him.

"Yeah. It's just...strange. In our life, almost a year ago we didn't know Madame Web. Yet she saved our lives a dozen times." Peter says. "And now she's gone, and a Crisis is coming that we know nothing about."

Yo-yo goes to talk to Jaco to see if he talks and he says that they need to let Sarge go as well, Coulson has gone to talk to Sarge.

-

"I've been through this routine before. You're not ready to hear the answers." Sarge tells Coulson.

"Well, I've seen a big deal. Try me." Coulson dares his lookalike.

"You don't have time to spare. This nice little galaxy, be a shame to loose it." Sarge says.

"Why don't we start from the beginning. You're saying that you are from the multiverse. And I know that when you're on a planet, it doesn't survive. I've seen the footage of the last world you were on." Coulson states.

"It doesn't have to come to that, but it will if you don't let me go."

"You're talking about this...crisis you say that's coming and it's Monitor that you say is a monster," Coulson says.

"Or to you, a god. He could wipe out an entire world with a flip of his hand. Dry up your oceans with a single thought. Drive your most sane man into madness." Sarge lists what he saw him do. "I've seen this false-god up close, and I think you're gonna get that opportunity, too. Believe me. You're not prepared for the Crisis on Infinite Earths."

"I'm prepared to protect my world from anything." Coulson tells him.

"Have you wondered why you haven't seen this...Madame Web around? I'll tell you why, she's been working with the Monitor over the years. And your nephew, he will be one of the followers when the Monitor destroys everything."

-

"This is the gear from Sarge's truck." May tells them as they bring everything into the labs.

"You know, we got to start calling him something else." Mack comments.

"Well, we cant keep saying Coulson's doppelgänger." Ava replies.

"So, this tracker seems to be searching for anything different from the rest of the planet. And that's all we got." Fitz tells them.

Peter looks over some of the gear and sees it almost looks like the Siege Perilous technology. "This looks like some alternated version of the Siege Perilous." He says as he looks over the device.

"Maybe that's what they used to travel realities." Ava guesses.

"Yeah, but it looks like it has some...modifications." Peter says.

"Like how?" Yo-yo wonders.

"The Siege Perilous took a enormous amount of energy to work and Norman killed Electro to get it to work." Peter explains to them. "Maybe they have a different power source on their rig."

"No, we searched everywhere on that rig. There's nothing." Simmons tells him.

"Maybe the rig is the power source?" Ava guesses.

"Like the DeLorean in Back to the Future, get to a certain amount of speed, it activated the flux capasitor." Peter explains to those who don't understand.

"So they were traveling the multiverse, looking for people who don't belong and killing them?" Daisy asks.

-

"Like I said, I won't be in here much longer." Sarge tells Coulson.

"And how do you think you'll get out?" Coulson asks.

"Anything can happen." Sarge says.

"Let's get back to your manhunt for this man, the Monitor. What's his game?" Coulson wonders.

"He's out to destroy the multiverse, I'm out to destroy him." Sarge tells him.

"And how do you plan on finding him if he's a god who can travel anywhere?" Coulson wonders.

"He has a home on some earth somewhere." Sarge says. "Let me ask you something...has any of your team members been acting strange? Some places, they have dreams on what's about to happen. Ask your nephew if he's been seeing the end of days, you'll see if I'm lying or not."

Coulson decides to see what Peter has to say and he confesses the dreams he's been having.

"So you've been dreaming about the end of days?" Daisy asks.

"I thought it was some...PTSD after, oh I don't know, coming back from the dead, fighting a mad Titan, and more." Peter defends and crosses his arms and sees they do need to let him out. "If he can stop what's going to happen, we need to let him."

"So we need to let him out." May clarifies and they all know this is gonna end badly.

-

"If you don't stop wasting my time, you're gonna lose your planet." Sarge tells them after they released him and promise to release his crew later.

"What is your plan to stop this that doesn't involve shooting one of our own?" Ava asks.

"My plan is to stop it from the root. The man in charge of everything. Go right to the core." Sarge explains.

"How can one man kill off the entire multiverse?" Mack wonders.

"His weapon will do it for him. He used it on the last universe we were on, and it evaporated everything. You saw what happened on Earth-2. That was because we were following another follower of his we found. But by the time we located him, it was too late. Keys. I'm not asking again."

"You'll get your keys when we get some answers." May tells him. "Now tell us what you know."

"The Monitor...he controls everything in the multiverse, a Fifth Dimensional being. He could turn this planet inside out, turn your oceans into fire if he wanted to. I'm working on finding him, and making sure he doesn't get the chance to destroy any other world. He got mine, Jaco's, Pax's, and Snowflake's. If he's not stopped, he will destroy the multiverse. I have a way of locating him, and stopping him."

"What happens when you find him?" Yo-yo wonders.

"I'm gonna kill him." Sarge says, abruptly. "Keys."

Coulson decides to give him the keys back to the rig for him to go.

"And my crew?" Sarge asks.

"Agents May and Johnson are going with you." Coulson tells him.

"I said my crew." Sarge says.

"They're your crew now." Coulson says.

"No deal." Sarge states and sits down. "I'll just watch and wait for your planet to die."

"I have the feeling you didn't come all this way just to lose again." Mack comments.

"How long we gonna do this?" Sarge wonders, seeing he has a point.

"I need to keep something of yours to make sure you don't just leave." Coulson explains.

"Fine. I'll agree to this under one condition. I get one of my own, and he comes." Sarge says and points to Peter.

Coulson looks to Peter and he's just as confused as he is on why he wants him.

"Deal." Peter says, wondering what he has in mind.

-

Sarge, Snowflake and the S.H.I.E.L.D. team all get their rig back into operation.

The one thing that Peter knew to keep off the truck was that Siege Perilous like device so he wasn't going to jump realities.

"You sure this is a good idea?" Ava asks Peter as he places his Spider-Man suit on.

"No, but I wanna see what this guy is up to. I need to know what he's talking about. These nightmares are frequently happening. The end of our world. If he's going to try and prevent it, I might as well make myself useful." Peter tells her.

"Everyone who shouldn't be here, off." Sarge commands them.

"And if I get the chance, I wanna punch this guy." Peter admits to her.

"Save some for me." Ava asks of him and leaves the rig.

-

They leave the Lighthouse and are heading towards the location.

Peter is currently sitting across from Sarge and looks at the tracker of his that goes to the middle of nowhere.

"So, this Monitor, he really destroyed your world?" Peter asks him.

"Mine and about a dozen other worlds before he just destroyed their universes." Sarge tells Peter.

"And what about me? What's so special about me that you tried to kill me the second you arrived?" Peter asks.

"You're supposed to be a follower of his. You seemed to have come into contact with the Monitor once in your life. You and that blind woman." Sarge says.

"Th woman you shot and killed was a friend of mine. She didn't deserve to die." Peter tells him.

"Your world is in danger, sooner or later going to be destroyed and you're angry about one person. None of the world's that have been killed deserved to die. He's coming. The Crisis is following him, like a shadow. And wherever the Crisis is, death isn't far behind." Sarge states and Peter reads through the lines.

"The Monitor took everything you cared about, didn't he? That's why you're so hellbent on finding him, isn't it?" Peter guesses.

"He took everything away from me, and now I'm gonna take everything away from him." Sarge promises.

"Does he have any other name, or does he just go by Monitor?" Peter wonders.

"All I've ever called him is Monitor. Nothing else." Sarge says.

-

Fitz-Simmons and Deke were looking over everything in the labs and notice something's missing.

"Hey, what happened to that device? That...Siege paralysis or whatever the kid called it." Deke wonders and the two look and see its missing.

"Who took the Siege Perilous?" Fitz wonders.

Simmons only took a minute and understood who has it and what's happening.

Sarge is gonna jump worlds, and he doesn't care if it's with his crew or not.

-

"He kicked you out?" Daisy asks as Peter drops on the couch and May is asleep.

"Got tired of my questions, even though he's the one who dragged me along and tired to kill me. But, I was getting a headache looking at the man, so it works out." Peter admits. He's used to seeing his caring, loving uncle. This guy is like looking at the looking glass version of him.

"Why is this Monitor dude destroying the multiverse?" Daisy wonders.

"He wouldn't say, but I have a feeling he doesn't know." Peter tells her. "All I got from him is he lost the people close to him when his world was destroyed, and that the Monitor at his weakest if we reach his home, which is where we're heading. And he's not going to stop until the Monitor is dead."

-

"That's the last time I allow that kid to negotiate." Coulson says as the team all board the Zephyr and get ready to take off.

"I don't understand. If he's leaving the universe, why would he want to take Peter with him?" Mack wonders.

"If Peter's supposed to be a follower, he might believe the more followers he has, the bigger advantage he has when he does find this guy." Ava guesses as they start take off.

"So, what's going to happen, he reaches 88 miles per hour and he's gone?" Deke wonders.

"You've seen Back to the Future?" Ava asks the man.

"Basically." Simmons confirms. "But he also has to reach a weak spot on our world in order to escape just like the original Siege Perilous."

"Do we have a way to contact them?" Fitz asks.

"I'll try to see if he has his mask nearby to hear me, I'll fill him in." Ava promises and leaves.

-

Sarge starts to activate the Siege Perilous and places the truck to keep gaining speed and hopes Snowflake gets her part done.

Everyone was asleep in the back and Peter wakes up to his senses going off.

Snowflake goes on for an attack on Peter and he quickly webs her hand and knife.

"Knew something was going to happen." Peter says when his mask starts going off and he webs Snowflake's other hand and answers it.

Sarge comes back and sees they're all still awake and all have a weapon raised to him.

"Where is it?" May asks him.

"Where's what?" Sarge asks.

"The Siege Perilous." Peter answers.

"I have no idea what that is." Sarge says honestly.

"The device that allows you to travel between universes." Daisy tells him.

"Oh, the Breacher." Sarge now understands. "The Monitor isn't on this world, and I had to replace my crew with another apparently."

"And why not tell us you planned on hopping dimensions?" Daisy asks.

"Would you have let me go?" Sarge asks back. "I have his location, but it's not in this earth. And I'm finally close to finishing him. When I find him, I'm gonna kill him, and everyone he loves."

"You're not hurting him." May promises.

"One life is a small price to pay for saving this world and countless other dimensions." Sarge tells her. "I can easily get you back to this reality when the job is done."

"We're not leaving and you're not killing Peter." Daisy tells him.

"Then you'll be making a bold choice. You sure about that?" Sarge asks.

"Where is it?!" May demands.

"It's set to go off once it reaches its mileage..and it's a sensitive device. So unless you wanna start colliding realities, I wouldn't go doing your thing." He warns Daisy before closing his door and locks it.

"He left me?" Snowflake asks, confused.

"How was he driving back here?" Daisy wonders.

"He turned on auto drive. You can't slow down the truck now or shut down the Breacher. It was designed to keep going until it jumped realities." Snowflake tells them.

"And I can't quake us out unless we wanna rip realities." Daisy says.

"Well, it's a good thing I don't need that." Peter says as he reaches up to the walls and then rips a hole open for them.

"Okay, who's ready for a little tuck and roll?" May asks.

"Seems this end of the rig can be blown, but we gotta get a distance away." Daisy guesses and they look and wait for someone to go first.

"Guess I'll go first." Peter guesses and drops off the rig and goes rolling and everyone follows after him.

They finally get up and see the rig starts to glow blue and Daisy sends a shockwave at it and it disappears as it explodes.

The Zephyr comes flying in and sees them all and the rig gone.

"Wonder where Sarge's gonna end up now." Peter mumbled.

-

Earth-1

Peter Parker and Cisco Ramon, Spider-Man and Vibe of this reality were searching for where a wave of dimensional energy is coming from when a blue light appears and a man comes running and tripping over himself before stopping in front of them.

"Greetings, traveler." Cisco greets as he walks up to the man and raises his hand. "My name is Cisco Ramon."

Sarge grabs him and raises his blaster to Cisco's head whole throwing him against the wall.

"Hey! Back away!" Peter-1 tells the strange man.

"Great. Another angry one." Cisco complains.

-

Nowhere

Madame Web is laying down in a part of space that exists outside of space and time when she suddenly wakes up and looks to see that she's alive.

"You seem surprised I was willing to save you." The voice of the Monitor echoes and she looks to see him here.

Madame Web groans as she stands back up and sees that the wound is gone. "Gonna Be honest...I kinda believed you would."

"Without your ability to see the coming future, stopping this crisis will surly fail." Monitor tells her.

"So you brought be back to help clean up your mess...great." Madame Web mumbled and stands up since this was all her idea. She couldn't tell Peter exactly what was coming, considering what's about to happen and she needs to get the rest of the multiverse ready. "Well...we better get started. It's almost time."

-

Ixtenco, Mexico.

A black Mercedes drives through a destroyed town and the doors open to reveal a resurrected Maria Hill and Nick Fury.

"Nick, this was a tragedy, but it's not why we're here." Maria says to him as they walk through the destroyed town. "What, are we fighting the weather now?"

"Locals say the cyclone had a face." Nick explains why they're here.

"People see things when they're under stress." Hill replies. "That doesn't mean this is the start of the world ending event that the Monitor warned us about."

"He said a Crisis was coming, and we would see it in the form of something world ending." Nick states. "And when it happened, we would need Parker."

"Okay, I get it. He's supposed to know all and see all, but that doesn't automatically mean every little cosmic event is going to lead..." Maria was saying when a green puff of smoke comes down and the two raise their guns to see someone new.

He has a snow globe helmet with fog inside and a suit made of gold and green and a red torn up cape. The man retracts his helmet and looks at them confused.

"Who are you?" He asks when a giant creature comes up from under their car and they see a cyclone with a face as it throws their car and roars when they keep shooting it.

"You don't want any part of this." He states to the two before sending green beams from his arms at the monster.
