(Forgot to say this last chapter, shout-out to RayTheRipper for inspiring me to write this story! Go check them out and then come back. Go support them!)

A scene at the temple, sound of bell ringing. Some people are walking around out of the temple's library. Showing the librarian are putting back a book to its shelves. the leader of 'the people' are showing off with a hood, making the librarian pay attention. Two of them follow by, walking through the librarian with their leader. All of them showing off. Two of them making spell that hold the librarian's two arms, and two others making spell by a stick that hold his two legs. making him lifted. The librarian grimacing in pain. Someone put a jug below his head. The leader walking closely to the librarian, taking off his hood. The librarian has a look at the leader, the leader places his hands onto his back and holding a pair of blades as he chops the librarian's head off which falls into the jug. The leader takes the book that had been placed by the librarian. He opens the book searching for a page then rips it from the book, and throws the book away. He walks from his place and then...

The Ancient One looks at the foe, "Master Kaecilius. That ritual will bring you only sorrow."

He sets his hands to his back, holding his blade. She walks closer with both hands on her back. He runs escaping with his team with a portal, leading to a city. They run all over the streets, then stops. facing them self as a scattered mirror. The Ancient one walking behind them, controlling it, making them enter the mirror universe. Kaecilius turn his back as The Ancient One makes a wave pattern with her hand that makes buildings around them start to move unpatterned. Kaecilius looking around them. "Hypocrite!"

The Ancient One making a round pattern with both of his hands and turn the gravity as she hops off a wall of a building, and Kaecilius with his team do the same. The Ancient One making an upwards movement with both hands as the building behind them starts rolling itself. Kaecilius pulls out his blades as the others making spell and pull out their staff. Two of them catch her feet with their spell as she pulls her feet back and makes them fall and she hops on them making a fan being spell for cutting they spells and they two got milled by the building under them as they scream. Then she fights two other people and knocks them down. Then she changes the spell to a round being spell as she kicks one of them to the rolling building that is getting closer to them. Then she turns the spell into a fan being spell and she tackled two of them as she throws her spell to the other people left and holds it back. Then she makes a turn around move with her hands that makes the gravity turn upside down. Kaecilius and the other are close to the position of falling, then Kaecilius makes a portal with a round and round pattern with his hand for him and his team to escape. Then they hop onto that with Kaecilius still holding it open as The Ancient One still fighting three of them left. then Kaecilius hops onto the portal and closes it as The Ancient One knocks out the three people, and stares as the portal closes. then The Ancient One rewinds the rolling building and makes it as if none of this happened and hops of the building to the ground and she makes a portal out of the mirror universe to the real universe and walks through the street and removes her hood, revealing her bald head.

Y/n Hill is seen laying in bed, he holds his head. "Ugh, right...I kicked the avengers asses the other day."

He gets up and stumbles to his bedroom door when he started it glitch out, "AGAGAHAHH-)/)/):?!####%#^#^**#+^+<=!"

He appears on a building in New York, "Whoa! I don't wanna be here! Go back! Go back!"

The stone moved him to a different place he had been in time as Y/n appeared at the school bathroom. He looked to see a man in the stall he was put in. They both looked at each other before... "AGHHHHHHHHH!!!"

Y/n was gone again and back in his room, he was out of breath, clenching the rugs. "What—is happening to me...?"

"You don't have mastery yet, over the time stone that is."  Y/n heard a voice and looked up to see The Ancient One in his room in her Astral Form.

"Whoa! Can I see ghosts now?! Sick!" Y/n said as The Ancient One smiled.

"I believe I can teach you some tricks in order to harness the infinity stone's power." The Ancient One said, as Y/n was confused. "Head to Kamar-Taj, there's no time to waste. We don't want your stone to destroy you from the inside."

"How do I know I can trust you?" Y/n asked as she looked at him amused.

"Now why would I come to you, if I wanted you dead?" She asked as Y/n thought about it.

"Yeah, you're right. So how long does this training take?" Y/n asked as The Ancient One looked at him.

"Several months." She claimed before she started to fade away. "I will see you there."

"Alright...no school...great." Y/n says as he picks up the phone and dials Kamala.

"Hello?" She asked.

"Hey, Kamala, I'm gonna be straight up with you because I know I can trust you." Y/n says as he looks at phone. He puts on his gear, "I'm working under Iron Man right now and I have to go work on my powers for a couple months so I need you to cover for me, okay? You can't tell anyone this."

"Wait, wait, wait." Kamala said as Y/n hung up on her after feeling her anger.

"I think that went well, now where is this place?" Y/n asked.

Kathmandu, Nepal

"Why... did I agree to this?" Y/n asked as he looked in an alleyway to see man surrounded by thugs. Y/n quickly suited up and put out his hand. "Hey! Leave that man alone!"

"Who are you kid?" One asked as you raised up your glove and fired, shooting one back.

"Paradox." Y/n said as Strange looked at him.

"Who?" All the people said as Y/n sighed.

"Look it doesn't..." Y/n suddenly saw Mordo take down the group and Y/n raised his arm towards him. "Hey, man, I've had a long day... what do you want?"

Mordo looked at the boy, "You're looking for Kamar-Taj?"

He nodded as Mordo passed him, Strange got up and looked at him. "You're looking for it as well..?"

"Yeah.. I was told to come here." Y/n said as the two followed Mordo.

"Uh...thank you...for back there." Strange said as Y/n nodded.

"Yeah well, I've been dealing with robbers for a while. Tech like this doesn't show up everyday." Y/n said as they passed by mediation stands and spiritual awareness.

But Mordo led them to a green door, "Really? Are you sure you got the right place? That one looks a little more...Kamar-Taj-y."

Mordo smiled with slight annoyance, "I once stood in your place. And I, too, was... disrespectful. So might I offer you some advice Forget everything you think you know."

Y/n got his glove ready for action, "thanks, but should I be concerned?"

"Not you, child." Mordo said as he led Y/n in first. Strange shrugged before following after.

Mordo talked as they walked to the main room. "The sanctuary of our teacher, the Ancient One."

Strange looked in the room and was handed many things. "The Ancient One? What's his real name? Right. Forget everything I think I know. I'm sorry. Thank you for... huh! Okay, that's, uh... a thing...Thank you. Hello. Uh, thank you. And thank you. Uh, thank you, Ancient One...for... seeing me..."

The Ancient One smiled as she poured Y/n a drink, "You're very welcome. Thank you, Master Mordo. Thank you, Master Hamir. Mr. Y/n, Mr. Strange!"

Strange looked at her, "Doctor, actually."

The Ancient One smiled, "Well, no. Not anymore, surely. Isn't that why you're here? You've undergone many procedures. Seven, right?"

Strange was a little freaked out, "Yeah...Good tea."

The Ancient One nodded and poured him a drink, "Yes. And Y/n, it seems like you found your way here safely."

Y/n scratched his head, "I wouldn't say safely but there was a lot less mugging than I thought."

"Well, I figured your infinity stone would help yourself out. But it seems your relying more on the tech to harness the power, rather than your body." She said as she gave Strange a drink and Mordo. "I'll help you fix that."

"Sweet!" Y/n shouted as Mordo smiled.

Strange looked at the group, "I don't mean to...interrupt the moment you all are having but I came all this way here. I'd like some answers. Did you heal a man named Pangborn? A paralyzed man?"

The Ancient One nodded, "In a way."

Strange wondered, "You helped him to walk again."

The Ancient One softly said, "Yes."

Strange walked up to her, "How do you correct a complete C7-C8 spinal cord injury?"

The Ancient One looked up at him, "Oh, I didn't correct it. He couldn't walk; I convinced him that he could."

Strange was curious. "You're not suggesting it was psychosomatic?"

Y/n was confused, he looked at Mordo, who simply nodded at him. Y/n didn't know what to do so he nodded back. The Ancient One looked at Y/n, "Y/n. When you reattach a severed nerve, is it you who heals it back together or the body?

Y/n crossed his arms and dug through his brain, "It's the cells, right?"

"And the cells are only programmed to put themselves together in very specific ways."  The Ancient One looked at him. "What if I told you that your own body could be convinced to put itself back together in all sorts of ways?"

Strange thought he understood, "You're talking about cellular regeneration. That's... bleeding-edge medical tech. Is that why you're working here, without a governing medical board? I mean... just how experimental is your treatment?"

The Ancient One replied, "Quite."

Strange nodded, "So, you figured out a way to reprogram nerve cells to self-heal?"

The Ancient One shook her head, "No, Mr. Strange. I know how to reorient the spirit to better heal the body."

Strange was taken back. "Spirit... to heal the body. Huh. A... Al... Al... alright. How do we do that? Where do we start?"

The Ancient One got a map of the body. "Don't like that map?"

Strange looked at her with disbelief. "Oh, no. It's... it's very good. It's just...you know, I've seen it before. In gift shops."

The Ancient One laughed, she flipped a page. "And what about this one?"

Y/n walked over and looked at well, "that's...acupuncture, right?"

The Ancient One nodded, "What about... that one?"

Strange started to walk to the other side of the room, "You're showing me an MRI scan? I can not believe this."

The Ancient One looked at him, "Each of those maps was drawn up by someone who could see in part, but not the whole."

"I spent my last dollar getting here on a one-way ticket, and you're talking to me about healing through belief?" Strange says and walks back over.

The Ancient One seemed amused, "You're a man who's looking at the world through a keyhole, and you spent your whole life trying to widen that keyhole. To see more, know more. And now, on hearing that it can be widened in ways you can't imagine, you reject the possibility?"

"No, I reject it because I do not believe in fairy tales about chakras, or energy, or the power of belief. There is no such thing as spirit! We are made of matter, and nothing more. We're just another tiny, momentary speck within an indifferent universe." Strange walks back over.

The Ancient One smiled, "You think too little of yourself."

"Hey, let's calm down, Strange." Y/n said as Strange glared at him.

"Shut it kid, you have no idea what's going on. You think you see through me, do you? Well, you don't. But I see through you!!!" Strange poked The Ancient One and she pushed his astral form from his body.

Y/n looked in shock, "WHOA!!"

The Ancient One smiled at him, "would you like to try?"

"Yeah!" Y/n said like a kid. Mordo pushed his astral form out. "Whoa! I can fly! This is amazing!"

Soon they reversed it and Strange was confused. "What did you just do to me?!"

The Ancient One smiled. "I pushed your astral form out of your physical form."

"Can we do that again!?" Y/n said as Mordo patted his shoulder.

"Maybe later, Y/n." He said as Strange was breathing heavily.

"What's in that tea? Psilocybin? LSD?" Asked Strange.

The Ancient One shook her head, "Just tea. With a little honey. For a moment, you entered the astral dimension."

Y/n looked at her, "what is that, exactly?"

The Ancient One walked over and placed Y/n next to Strange. "A place where the soul exists apart from the body."

Strange asked, "Why are you doing this to me?"

The Ancient One smiled and pushed their forehead. "To show you just how much you don't know. Open your eye."

The two were sent through a series of illusions, traveling through the dimensions, space, etc.

Mordo looked at the two. "The boy seems fine, Strange's hear rate is getting dangerously high."

The Ancient One stopped it before looking at the two, "He looks alright to me."

She then sent the two throughout more journeys. "You think you know how the world works? You think that this material universe is all there is? What is real? What mysteries lie beyond the reach of your senses? At the root of existence, mind and matter meet. Thoughts shape reality. This universe is only one of an infinite number. Worlds without end. Some benevolent and life-giving, others filled with malice and hunger. Dark places, where powers older than time lie... ravenous... and waiting. Who are you in this vast multiverse, Mr. Strange? Have you seen that before in a gift shop?"

Strange was back but Y/n wasn't, "Teach me!"

The Ancient One looked at him. "No."

Strange was thrown out as the door closed. Strange ran back to the door. "No... No! No, no, no, no no no no! No! Open the door! Please!"

The Ancient One looked at Y/n as he was seen glowing green. "Now I didn't forget you, Young Y/n. Tell me, how much do you remember from your past?"

"I...I don't remember much." Y/n says as a family is seen running from Giant Robots destroying the city. "Is that...?"

"Yes... that's your mother and father. Well, your biological ones anyway." The Ancient One revealed before taking it away and putting Y/n back in reality. "By opening your mind, your soul, your space, your connection to the Time stone will grow stronger and become more stable."

"Thank you, for this." Y/n said as he got up, his powers started to glitch out. "So what's up first?"

"First, we get rid of these." The Ancient One shined with golden mist as Y/n's armor was gone.

"Wait! Gah-!" Y/n said as he started to glitch out again,  "that was the only thing keeping me from glitching!"

"Y/n, listen to me. Breathe, take a deep breath." The Ancient One said as Y/n started to breathe heavily. "Feel your power, as it passes through you. Through your hands, through your body, and then there's the magic. Feel it's power, surrounding you, traveling to every atom in you. Box it up, control it."

Y/n started to breathe normally as he regulates, "huh? I got it?"

"Good, that's the first step. Controlling that power. The stone has many passive abilities, increasing your physical abilities is something you've already noticed." She said as she helped Y/n up. "The language of the mystic arts is as old as civilization. The sorcerers of antiquity called the use of this language 'spells'. The source code that shapes reality. We harness energy drawn from other dimensions of the multiverse, to cast spells, conjure shields and weapons to make magic."

The Ancient One did an example in front of Y/n as Y/n was shocked but then looked at his hands. "I can become even more skilled and this will help regulate my power so it doesn't kill me... but how do I become like you?"

The Ancient One laughed, "That's so boring though. I think you should be yourself, after all, you're a unique being in the multiverse. How did you get better at Boxing, Shotokan Karate, Krav Maga and combat shooting?"

Y/n understood, "I practiced...with my mom. I...kinda miss her..."

"As you should, you've been separated for a while now." The Ancient One looked at him. "My first advice to you, is to read."

"Read...?" Y/n asked as he held his head. "I just skipped school for months and you're telling me to read."

She laughed, "we never truly stop learning. I have a feeling you're a fast reader. Show him the room, will you?"

Mordo waved his hands, "come along, Y/n."

"Ah, thank you once again." Y/n bowed before going with Mordo.

Mordo showed him the room. "Your new clothes should be in the closet. The Ancient One has told me you're free to look around except for any restricted areas."

Y/n nodded and put his stuff down, "right, because that's what restricted means."

Mordo smirked before handing him a card. Y/n looked at it, "what's this?"

"The Wi-Fi password." Mordo said as Y/n was confused.

"Wi-Fi password? You mean you guys use electricity?" Y/n held his head. "I would've brought my phone if I knew that was the case!"

"We're not savages." Mordo left and then came back with some books. "Here, some things to help get you started."

"Oh...thanks, Mordo." Y/n said as Mordo left. Y/n then started to pick up a book about time manipulation. "alright, I could do this or..."

Y/n got an idea and quickly ran to the Library. "Hello, sir!"

Wong turned around to see Y/n, "ah, you must be Mr. Hill."

"Y/n is fine, I was just wondering if I could check out some books." Y/n said as he looked at Wong. "Any recommendations?"

Wong looked, scanning Y/n's abilities before picking up four books. "These are dense, but if you which to learn, these will help you do so faster."

"Alright! Thank you!" Y/n left. 30 minutes later he came back. "Done, what's next."

"Excuse me?" Wong said as he looked at the books.

"I've read all these ones, and the ones Mordo gave me." Y/n said with a smile.

Wong looked at him, "The Book of the Invisible Sun, Astronomia Nova, Codex Imperium, Key of Solomon, The Abstract, The Black Sea Scrolls, Book of Crueda, Book of Demonicus, Book of Eibon. You finished all of this? In 30 minutes."

"30 minutes to you, 3 hours to me. Yeah, but it didn't help me much. I got the grasp of some spells and some weird knowledge about even weirder creatures." Y/n said as Wong nodded.

Wong started to walk away, "Come with me."

"Yes, sir." Y/n said.

"Wong is fine." Wong said as he led them to a different area. "This section is for Masters only. But at my discretion, others may use it. We should start with Maxim's Primer. How is your Sanskrit?"

"Uh...it was in one of those books. I got the basics of it down." Y/n said as he picked out a few books.

"Read it. Classical Sanskrit." Wong said as Y/n noticed some chained books.

"What are those?" Y/n asked as he picked one up.

Wong kept looking for books. "The Ancient One's private collection."

"Ohh, so I'm guessing they're forbidden?" Y/n asked as he looked at Wong.

Wong shook his head. "No knowledge in Kamar-Taj is forbidden. Only certain practices. Those books are far too advanced for anyone other than the Sorcerer Supreme."

On cue, Y/n started to read some. He slowed down time in order to read through it and practice... "hmm...This one's got pages missing. I'll come back to it."

On the outside, Wong looked to see afterimages of Y/n moving and realized what he was doing. He put his hands and tied up Y/n with an orange magic whip. Y/n stopped using the gem, "that explains a lot."

"Hey Wong, you got some pages missing in this. I swear I didn't take it." Y/n said as Wong took the book and put it back.

"That's the book of Cagliostro. The study of time. One of the rituals was stolen by a former Master. A zealot called Kaecilius. Just after he strung up the former librarian, and relieved him of his head. I'm now the guardian of these books. So if a volume from this collection should be stolen again, I'd know it." Wong said he released Y/n.

Y/n smiled, "good to know. So are these books fine?"

Wong placed it into his hands, a pile of books. Y/n went towards the entrance.

"Alright. Let's do this..."
————-
The Ancient One is seen after a meeting, "Thank you, Masters. How is Y/n?"

"I just got word from Wong that he's trying to read the entire library in order to be like you." Mordo smiled as the two laughed. "He's got a spark to him."

"Yes, his power was eating him whole. If I could direct him on the right path, I'd rather take responsibility than to do nothing." She claimed as she sighed. "You think I'm wrong to cast Strange out?"

Mordo looked at her, "5 hours later, he's still on your doorstep. There's a strength to him."

The Ancient One didn't pay it any mind, "Stubbornness, arrogance, ambition...I've seen it all before."

Mordo started to understand. "He reminds you of Kaecilius?"

The Ancient One looked at him. "I can not lead another gifted student to power, only to lose him to the darkness."

Mordo firmly said, "You didn't lose me. I wanted the power to defeat my enemies. You gave me the power to defeat my demons. And to live within the natural law."

The Ancient One shook her head. "We never lose our demons, Mordo. We only learn to live above them."

Mordo walked up to her. "Kaecilius still has the stolen pages. If he deciphers them, he could bring ruin upon us all. There may be dark days ahead. Perhaps Kamar-Taj could use a man like Strange."
—————
Y/n closed his eyes... "mom...with the months I've been here...I guess...I just want to apologize for lashing out at you. I'm writing this to... to let you know I'm safe. I'm actually learning more abilities, can you believe it? I guess, I hope you forgive me, for everything."

Y/n finished writing the letter with his mind and held it in his hand. He then walked out of his room to see a familiar face.

"Oh hey, you're here." Y/n said to Strange as the two walked down the hall.

"How'd they keep you and throw me out?" Strange asked as Y/n patted his chest.

"Because I know when to keep my mouth shut, Doctor Who. Now let's head out to the courtyard for more training." Y/n said as he walked away.

Strange sighed, "I can't believe I have to listen to a 14 year old."

Mordo is seen looking at everyone as they train. Y/n puts in his sling ring, "Mastery of the sling ring is essential to the mystic arts. They allow us to travel throughout the multiverse. All you need to do is focus. Visualize. See the destination in your mind. Look beyond the world in front of you. Imagine every detail. The clearer the picture, the quicker, and easier, the gateway will come."

Y/n opened a portal to his house, he looked around before hopping in. He looked to see the portal still open, he looked around. "Oh yeah, that's so cool."

"Sigh...I know. I know." Maria's voice is heard downstairs. Y/n quickly walked to her room and placed the letter on her dresser.

"I'm not going to stop looking until we find your son, but right now, we could be on the verge of another alien invasion." Nick said as he sat down in the living room with Maria.

"Of course Uncle Fury is an agent too." Y/n said but then...

"Y/n! Hurry up before Mordo circles around again!" Strange shouted through the portal as Maira and Fury got up.

"Y/n?!" She started to run to the door as Y/n quickly leaped through the portal and closed it. All Maira saw was small orange sparks left, "..."

"And stop." Mordo said as the Ancient One showed up.

The Ancient One asked, "I'd like a moment alone with Mr. Strange."

Mordo said, "Of course."

Everyone was dismissed as Y/n looked at Wong in the library. "C'Mon, Wong! I've read almost everything in here, I'm ready!"

Wong shook his head, "You're not ready for that."

Y/n was in disbelief, "Books on astral projection can't be harder than what I've been reading. For heaven's sake I read about a weird lovecraft tentacle monster!"

"You're not ready." Wong said as that night, Y/n made a sling ring to grab a book but Strange did the same. Strange slapped his hand away and Y/n recoiled. Wong looked behind him to see two hands gone. Wong went back to normal as two more portals open up. Y/n knocked Strange's hands back, and took the book. Wong looks again and while he's distracted, Strange takes his book.

"So you missed this and this...but this should help you imagine more." Strange and Y/n are seen talking in their Astral forms as they read books in Y/n's slowed time zone.
—-
The Ancient One is seen walking with Y/n and Strange. "Once, in this room, you begged me to let you learn. Now I'm told you question every lesson, preferring to teach yourself."

Strange looks at her. "Once, in this room, you told me to open my eyes. Now I'm being told to blindly accept rules that make no sense."

The Ancient One looks at Y/n. "Like the rule against conjuring a gateway in the library?"

"I uh...I thought I was quicker." Y/n said as The Ancient One raised and eyebrow.

"Perhaps I was too lenient with rules with you, Y/n." She claimed as she made a portal but it looked like glass. "You both are advancing quickly with your sorcery skills. You'll need a safe space to practice your spells."

She walked through as Y/n looked at Strange. He raised his hand, "be my guest."

"Of course." Y/n says as he walked through. He then put his hand out for Strange to come in. Which Strange did so, "what is this place...it looks the same."

"You are now inside the Mirror Dimension. Ever present but undetected. The real world isn't affected by what happens here. We use the Mirror Dimension to train, surveil, and sometimes to contain threats. You don't want to be stuck in here without your sling ring." The Ancient One said as Strange heard something.

"Hold on. Sorry, what do you mean, threats?" Strange said as The Ancient One started to shift the ground and the area to have an open area.

The Ancient One looked at those two. "Learning of an infinite multiverse included learning of infinite dangers. And if I told you everything else that you don't already know, you'd run from here in terror."

Y/n is seen training with the Ancient One as made some images. The Ancient One saw Y/n split into many, "Images of Ikkon? I see you've dove into the more advanced spells."

Y/n then formed a whip at her from all angles and surrounded her. "Hehe, I got you now!"

"Oh really?" She sent a mirror dimension wave at the real Y/n as he went crashing through.

"WHOAAAA!!!" Y/n quickly used the Tao Mandalas as a platform and saved himself. 

"You've started to pick up on Strange's ego. Do not become the kind of man he is." She warned as Y/n nodded.

"Of course, if anything, he's becoming more like me. He could need it." Y/n said as he prepared for a fight.

The Ancient One smiled. "Don't lose your way and you'll be a fine sorcerer."

"Like Kaecilius?" Y/n asked her as she flinched.

"That's right." She said as she sent a bolt at him as Y/n quickly created a shield to block it. Y/n then shifted the ground beneath her to rise, which the bolt came off and hit him.  "I know you're curious. When he first came to us, he'd lost everyone he ever loved. He was a grieving and broken man, searching for answers in the mystic arts. A brilliant student, but he was proud, headstrong. Questioned us, rejected our teaching. He left Kamar-Taj. His disciples followed him like sheep, seduced by false doctrine."

"He stole the forbidden ritual, right? What did it do?" Y/n made a portal with his sling and dived for it. The Ancient One lifted him up with ease as Y/n quickly formed layers of barriers to push him towards the portal. He laid back in the real world as he went for a punch, the Ancient One caught it before kicking Y/n in the jaw. Y/n slid back as he slowly lifted his head as the Ancient One helped him up.

She then walked away, "we will discuss Relics another day, nice work, Y/n."

"Yeah." Y/n looked over at Mordo. Strange made a weapon before Mordo attacked him and used the Tao mandalas as a platform before going around and punching Strange the face.

Mordo looked at him. "Fight! Fight like your life depended on it! Because one day, it may."

Y/n is seen practicing his time abilities by rewinding a clock on his desk. He quickly makes a portal home and grabs his phone before closing it again. He looks to see Peter in DC. "Well, that's pretty cool. Missed calls from Kamala...not pushing the pin on that one..."

He looked at the messages through his phone and saw many people had texted him, he put the phone away and got up. "I'm not glitching anymore...but there's gotta be more I'm capable of."

Y/n raised his hands and thought back to the image of the family. He made the image appear in his palm again as Y/n looked, "so, this is my birth family, huh? But..."

Y/n looked at the giant robot, "what's with Gurren Lagann?"

Y/n looked up robot attacks on his phone but all he got were Ultron, "sigh...Ultron didn't exist back then...so what is it... and if the Time Stone is in the eye...than what is this one from?"

Y/n scratched his head before he destroys the image and walks away. Y/n is seen walking around and preaching his magic in the rain. His orange tunes turned green as the rain actually stops, "Gh-go! rgghhg!!"

Y/n had to let go and the rain continued to fall. He held his knees as he breathed hard, "I managed to...stop time. Albeit for a small moment. Let's just give a run down now."

Y/n slammed his hands together and spread them apart as an Eldritch Whip appeared in his hand. Y/n then focused in order to make it stronger. It turned crimson red, "alright. The Crimson Bands of Cyttorak."

Y/n then closed his eyes, he lifted his hand, "find...my birth mother...!"

"Y/n. Come along." Mordo said as Y/n stopped and looked at the group.

"Huh? Oh, coming..." Y/n said before he shook it off. "Probably shouldn't try anything stupid like that anyway."

"While heroes like the Avengers protect the world from physical dangers, we sorcerers safeguard it against more mystical threats. The Ancient One is the latest in a long line of Sorcerers Supreme, going back thousands of years to the father of the mystic arts, the mighty Agamotto. The same sorcerer who created the eye you so recklessly borrowed." Wong explained as he led Y/n, Strange and Mordo to a room with a giant globe.

"Borrowed...?" Y/n looked at Strange, who looked away in shame.

"Agamotto built 3 Sanctums in places of power, where great cities now stand. That door leads to the Hong Kong Sanctum, that door to the New York Sanctum. That one, to the London Sanctum. Together, the Sanctums generate a protective shield around our world." Wong explained.

Mordo says next, "The Sanctums protect the world, and we sorcerers protect the Sanctums."

Y/n looks at them, "From what?"

Wong puts his hands behind his back. "Other-dimensional beings that threaten our universe."

Strange looks at Mordo, "Like Dormammu?"

Mordo's face expression changed, "Where did you learn that name?"

Strange got worried, "I just read it in The Book of Cagliostro. Why?"

Wong and Mordo share a look before Wong shows images of Doemammu's power. "Dormammu dwells in the Dark Dimension, beyond time. He is the cosmic conquerer, the destroyer of worlds. A being of infinite power and endless hunger, on a quest to invade every universe and bring all worlds into his Dark Dimension. And he hungers for Earth most of all."

"The pages that Kaecilius stole." Y/n put it together.

"A ritual to contact Dormammu and draw power from the Dark Dimension." Wong confirmed.

"Uuuh... okay. Okay. I...'m out. I... I came here to heal my hands, not to fight in some mystical war." Strange said but then the bells rang.

Wong looked up, "London."

The London door opened as a man was killed as he ran towards safety. "Kaecilius!"

"No!!!" Mordo shouted as Kaecilius made a giant yellow magic ball and slammed it into the ground. Strange and Y/n were pushed back into a door before it caved in.

"Hey, Kid! You alright?" Strange asked as Y/n coughed a bit.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine." Y/n said as his head was ringing. "Did I get hit by a truck?"

"Good guess." Strange said as he picked him up. "I'm gonna go check outside."

"Alright, alright." Y/n said as he wobbled back up. "Wong? Mordo?"

Y/n shook off the ringing before fixing his stance. He was soon normal as he used the time stone to heal himself. "Whew. I love that thing."

Y/n made it to the main hall to see a different place, "where the hell did we end up?"

"We're in the New York Sanctum." Strange said as Y/n looked at him.

"Well what's the plan, chief?" Y/n asked as Strange shrugged.

"Im in the same mess as you! How am I supposed to know?!" Strange says as the two decided to walk around. "Hello?"

"Hello?" Y/n asked as they made it to three doors with different environments. They kept walking around to find a bunch of relics. Strange finds a red cloak in a glass case while Y/n finds a green one. "Well that's pretty cool... I guess.."

They kept walking until they heard rumbling coming from the front hall. Strange pushed Y/n up against the wall, gently. Strange then pointed at the scene as the front entrance started to shift like crazy as Kaecilius entered. "Daniel. I see they made you Master of the Sanctum."

"Do you know what that means?" The man asked him, holding the staff.

Kaecilius and his goons formed a magic staff. "That you'll die protecting it."

The man knocked back two of the men before he was sliced in the knee. "Stop!"

Strange and Y/n rushed out as Y/n saw the man get plunged in the chest with a spear and die. The group looked at the two. "How long have you been at Kamar-TaJ, Mister...?"

Strange felt the need to correct, "Doctor."

Kaecilius raised his eyebrow. "Mister Doctor?"

Strange sighed, "It's Strange."

Kaecilius shrugged, "Maybe. Who am I to judge? And you, boy?"

"Why in the world would I answer that?" Y/n asked as one of them charged at him. Y/n raised his hand to fire, but then realized...Y/n looked at his hand, "right, no glove."

Y/n leaped in the air to dodge a swipe and quickly kicked one in the head, causing the person to be slightly slowed down. Y/n then swept kicked then and blasted them with The Bolts of Balthakk. The bolt bounced off the wall and it one that was attacking Strange. Strange kicked a foe back before using the whip to block and attack and elbow one in the face. Kaecilius ran up with his magic spear and threw it at Y/n, Strange used the whip to knock it back. Strange pulled Y/n, "Y/n use your time thing to slow it down!"

Y/n did so but nothing happened, "uh...that's new."

"Must be because it's the mirror dimension and you're not in control. Come on!" Strange ran away as did Y/n. "Wait, we're not in the mirror dimension."

"His magic must be overwriting my containment spell. We have to fight, we can't run forever!" Y/n said as the floor under them as Strange and Y/n both share a look before summoning their Tao Mandalas. Strange's flickers as Y/n snickers. "Pft."

Kaecilius then hopped on the ceiling as his goons hopped on the walls. They ran to them with the swords while Y/n threw his Mandalas at them, with them having to slice them but Y/n leaped into the air to hit one but the other slammed him into the ground. "Gah!"

Strange tries to fight back but Kaecilius started to shift the room around, "oh god!"

Y/n almost falls into the desert door when Strange grabs his arm. "Keep attacking, I got you!"

Y/n made a tao mandala to push back one as they made a whip to pull Y/n. Y/n reeled back his fist and slammed it into the girl's face before they both went slamming into the desert. "Gah-! How'd you like that?"

Y/n dodges a slice before she tries to stab his leg, Y/n blocks it with his own magic whip and makes her weapon fall to the sand. He then kicked her across the face, before she punched him back. "GAH-! Fuck, that hurt!"

She then tackled him into the ground before she started to punch him in the face, Y/n lifted his arms to protect himself. The room went back to normal as Strange ran for the door, "Y/n, hurry back so I can close it!"

"I'm.,.gah-! Trying here!" Y/n shouted as Strange blocked a kick from the man and dodged a punch. The two started to circle around as Y/n saw an opening and punched the girl in the throat before slamming her head into the sand. Y/n then ran up to the portal and leaped through, "I got through! Change it!"

Strange changed it and then threw the other guy in rainforest before changing it again. Kaecilius came with two swords and tried to slice them. The two dodged it but Kaecilius grabbed Y/n and threw him against the wall. "Gah, he's stronger than the two. Go! I'll catch up!"

Strange took off running as Y/n quickly made platforms in his palm as Kaecilius looked down and was forced to the ceiling. Y/n ran right behind Strange as they were back in the relic room. Strange picked up a goblet as Kaecilius looked at him. "You don't know how to use that, do you?"

"Uh..." Strange hesitated as Kaecilius kicked Y/n back through multiple glasses cases before he dropped on the ground.

He looked to see the green cloak surround him and attack to him. Y/n looked at the name, "Cloak of Mercury, huh? Well thanks."

Strange's used his whip to disarm Kaecilius and try to retrain him but Strange was sent back into the red cloak as the cloak saved him. Strange sent out another whip and tried to pull him back, but the two slammed into each other. The cloak pulled him somewhere else before Y/n flew in with his cape. "Alright, Hot Topic, now you've pissed me off."

"Y/n! Keep him busy!" Strange said as Y/n tackled Kaecilius before wrapping a whip around him.

"You think this will stop me?!" Kaecilius shouted as Y/n punched him in the face, making him slow.

Strange then threw the device from the wall on him as it retrained him. The two heroes panted, "did...did we do it?"

"Yeah... we did. Nice work." Strange said as Y/n smiled.

"That might be the nicest thing you've said you me." Y/n said as Kaecilius tried to speak. "What?"

"You'll die here." Kaecilius said as Strange was annoyed.

"Oh, stop it." Strange said as Kaecilius kept saying it. "I said, stop it!"

Kaecilius spoke, "You cannot stop this, Mr. Doctor."

Strange looked at him. "Why...look, we don't even know what 'this' is."

Kaecilius looked at them. "It's the end and the beginning. The many becoming the few, becoming the One."

Y/n sighed, "he's speaking in bullshit again, I'm putting it back on."

Kaecilius looked at Strange. "Tell me, Mr. Doctor."

"Alright, look. My name is Dr. Stephen Strange." Strange said.

Kaecilius nodded, "You are a doctor? A scientist. You understand the laws of nature. All things age. All things die. In the end, our sun burns out, our universe grows cold and perishes. But the Dark Dimension... it's a place beyond time."

"Yep, I'm putting this thing back on." Y/n walked up to him.

Kaecilius tried to move, "This world doesn't have to die, Doctor. Boy, this world can take its rightful place among so many others, as part of the One. The great and beautiful One. And we can all live forever."

Strange didn't believe it, "Really? What do you have to gain out of this New Age dimensional utopia?"

Y/n backed up, wanting answers as well. Kaecilius nodded, "The same as you. The same as everyone. Life. Eternal life. People think in terms of good and evil, but really, time is the true enemy of us all. Time kills everything."

Y/n glared at him, "oh yeah, Messiah?What about the people you killed?"

Kaecilius looked at him, "Tiny, momentary specks within an indifferent universe. Yes. You see, you see what we're doing? The world is not what it ought to be. Humanity longs for the eternal, for a world beyond time, because time is what enslaves us. Time is an insult. Death is an insult. Doctor...We don't seek to rule this world. We seek to save it, to hand it over to Dormammu, who is the intent of all evolution, the Why of all existence."

Strange looked at him, "The Sorcerer Supreme defends existence."

Kaecilius looked at the two, "What was it that brought you both to Kamar-Taj? Was it enlightenment? Power? You came to be healed, as did we all. Kamar-Taj is a place that collects broken things. We all come with the promise of being healed, but instead, the Ancient One gives us parlor tricks. The real magic she keeps for herself. Have you ever wondered how she managed to live this long?"

Strange looked at him. "I... I saw the rituals in the book of Cagliostro."

"Strange..." Y/n said in a warning tone.

Kaecilius looked at him. "So, you know. The ritual gives me the power to overthrow the Ancient One and tear her Sanctums down, to let the Dark Dimension in. Because what the Ancient One hoards, Dormammu gives freely: life, everlasting. He is not the destroyer of worlds, Doctor, he is the savior of worlds."

"No. Just look at his face." Y/n looked at Strange and pointed to him. Before glaring at Kaecilius. "We've seen him kill people, Dormammu made you a murderer, Kaecilius. Just how good can his kingdom be? You think that's funny?"

Kaecilius smirked, "No. No. What's funny is that you've lost your sling ring."

Strange looked for his sling ring before he was stabbed in the back, Y/n went to reach for him before he was thrown into a a portal. "Stephen run-!"

"Y-n..!" Stephen shouted before Y/n fell from the sky.

"WHOA! I'M GONNA DIE! I'M GONNA DIE!!" Y/n shouted as he started stumbling in the air, soon the Cloak lifted him up and put him on a roof. Y/n looked around before coughing. "Ahem, you never heard me scream like that. Got it?"

The cloak shrugged before Y/n held his stomach, "yeah, I'm very tried. Where am I...?"

"I swear, if you guys are egging my house again-!" Kamala came outside her window with a sandal to see Y/n on her roof, with a cloak. "Y/n...?"

"Oh you got to be kidding me..." Y/n said as he tried to walk away, the Cloak pulled him her way. "No, no, no no!"

"Y/n! Are...are you trying to run away from me?" Kamala got up to her rooftop.

Y/n crossed his arms with a smiled, "what? That's crazy!"

"You've never been a good lier." Kamala said as Y/n was about to speak. She held up her hand, "Stop. You answer my questions first. I mean, what is happening? You fall from the sky and then end up on my roof? Where have you been?"

Y/n looked at his cloak as it pushed him towards Kamala. Y/n blushed as Kamala looked at the cloak. "Is that alive?"

"Unfortunately yes." Y/n says as it hit him in the head. "Yeah, I deserve that. You just saved my life."

Kamala then sat down, she glared at Y/n and Y/n took that as a sign and sat down. "So...try to explain it to me. Superhero. You got a name yet?"

"Current alias is Paradox. Thought about Overtime but that was taken." Y/n said before he looked at her. "I woke up a couple months ago and this nice magical lady called The Ancient One said she wanted to help contain my stone."

"Stone?" Kamala asked as Y/n nodded.

Y/n opened his palm and a rune was made to show a image of the green gem in his hand. "The time stone. This is the second one apparently. My guess is that it's from a different timeline and it bonded to be before there was a singular one. So the effects would stay there."

"Do the gems work outside of their respective universes or like timelines?" Kamala asked as Y/n scratched his head.

"I think that one's still up in the air. If not, I don't know how else to explain this." Y/n said as Kamala looked at him.

"Well, if you were in that timeline and it bonded to you then. It would work right?" Kamala said as Y/n nodded. She started to giggle, "what if you were sent to this timeline with the stone so when it awakened, you'd be able to use its power?"

"No shit? That's a good theory." Y/n started questioning his existence.

"Really? Sweet! I mean...cool." Kamala said as she looked at him.

"That's why I couldn't find my parents... there's no other timelines." Y/n said with a worried look. "Sorry, you need answers and I got to get back to the Strange and The Ancient One."

"So did you like... join a cult?" Kamala asked Y/n.

"No! Well, not exactly. I mean, they did teach me to tap into powers that I never even knew existed." Y/n said as Kamala shrugged.

"Yeah, that sounds cool but it sounds like a cult." Kamala shoved Y/n.

Y/n laughed, "It's not a cult."

"Well, that's what a cultist would say." Kamala said as Y/n started to get up. "Wait, where are you going?"

"Well I forgot to tell you that me and my Buddy, Strange, were being attacked by a powerful sorcerer who gave himself over to an ancient entity who can bend the very laws of physics." Y/n started to stretch. "I have to go and help the best I can."

"Wait!" Kamala said as she ran back in the house. She came back with some water bottles and a med kit, "here, for the road."

She patched him up as Y/n winces at some moments. When it was all done, the bleeding stopped.  Y/n smirked with a light chuckle. "Thanks."

Y/n made a portal and walked through it. The cloak hid the water bottles. "Y/n! You're okay! And with the Cloak of Mercury no less."

Y/n looked at Strange as the two nodded. Y/n looked at the device to see it on the ground, empty. "Of course he's gone."

"Kaecilius?" Mordo asked as they nodded.

"Yeah. He can fold space and matter at will." Strange explained.

The Ancient One was shocked. "He folds matter outside the mirror dimension? In the real world?"

Y/n nodded, "yeah, it barely took him down. He managed to stop the containment spell that stabilized my stone, completely shut that source of power down."

The Ancient One looked at him. "How many more?"

Strange looked at her, "Two. We stranded one in the desert."

"And the other?" She asked.

Strange looked at her. "His body was in the hall. Master Drumm was in the foyer."

Mordo looked at the two. "He's been taken back to Kamar-Taj."

"The London Sanctum has fallen. Only New York and Hong Kong remain now to shield us from the Dark Dimension." The Ancient One told them. "You both defended the New York Sanctum from attack. With its Master gone, it needs another, Master Strange."

Strange looked at her, "No. It is Dr. Strange. Not Master Strange, not Mr. Strange, Doctor Strange. When I became a doctor, I swore an oath to do no harm. And I have just killed a man! I'm not doing that again. I became a doctor to save lives, not take them."

The Ancient One saw through him. "You become a doctor to save one life above all others: your own."

Strange glared at her. "Still seeing through me, are you?"

The Ancient One bluntly stated, "I see what I've always seen: your over-inflated ego. You want to go back to the delusion that you can control anything, even death, which no one can control. Not even the great Doctor Stephen Strange."

"Not even Dormammu? I hear he has great deals for immortality." Y/n added, feeling a little betrayed.

The Ancient One looked at him with a hint of shock. "It's our fear of death that gives Dormammu life. He feeds off it."

Strange and Y/n walked to her. "Like you feed on him? You talk to me about controlling death. Well, I know how you do it. I've seen the missing rituals from The Book of Cagliostro."

The Ancient One looked at them. "Measure your next words very carefully, you two."

Strange looked at her. "Because you might not like them?"

The Ancient One stared back. "Because you may not know of what you speak."

Mordo looked at her. "What are they talking about?"

Y/n looked at him, "sorry Mordo... the source of her immortality. She draws power from the Dark Dimension to stay alive."

Mordo scoffed. "That's not true."

Strange looked at her, she froze, "I've seen the rituals and worked them out. I know how you do it."

The Ancient One looked away and started to walk away. "Once they regroup, the zealots will be back. You'll need reinforcements."

Y/n was saddened and walked away. "I guess it's true... I wish it wasn't."

Strange looked at him. "She is not who you think she is."

Mordo looked at him. "You don't have the right to say that. Both of you! You have no idea of the responsibility that rests upon her shoulders."

Strange looks at him. "No, and I don't want to know."

Mordo shakes his head, "You are cowards."

Y/n looked at him, "Mordo, I'm 14! And being a killer isn't being a hero either!"

Mordo shouts at them. "These zealots will snuff us all out, and you can muster the strength to snuff them out first?"

Strange glared at him. "What do you think we just did?"

"You saved your own lives! And then whined about it like wounded dogs." Mordo shouted as Y/n walked up to him.

Y/n poked him in the chest.  "So you would have done it so easily, Mordo? Then where were you?"

Mordo slapped his hand away. "You have no idea the things I've done...And the answer is yes. Without hesitation."

Strange glared more, "Even if there's another way?"

Mordo shouts, "There is no other way."

Strange shakes his head, "You lack imagination."

"No. You lack a spine. They're back." Mordo shouts as everyone runs to the main all to see Kaecilius trying the orb trick again. Mordo runs and sacks the man. "We have to end this. Now! Strange, Y/n! Get down here and fight!"

Y/n nods as he and Strange hold up their hands. Kaecilius looked at the two flying men. "The Mirror Dimension. You can't affect the real world in here. Who's laughing now, asshole?"

Kaecilius smirked, "I am."

Mordo breaks free as Y/n makes whips to the outside. Y/n flies away as Strange steals the sling ring and makes his way outside. Strange looks at Mordo, "They've got no sling ring. I mean, they can't escape, right?"

"Run!" Mordo shouts as the streets start layering on themselves and getting distorted. "Their connection to the Dark Dimension makes them more powerful in the Mirror Dimension. They can't affect the real world, but they can still kill us. This wasn't clever. This was suicide!"

They run towards a sling ring as Kaecilius twists the city to the side as Stan Lee is seen reading a book at Mordo and Strange crash into each other. "That is hilarious."

The two get off and run after a building, "oh hey, you missed a spot."

Y/n comes out of the building and punches a goon back before he was pulled away by the cloak. The city was folding in on itself as Y/n seemingly fell from one city to the same one. Y/n flew through the crashing skyscrapers, "alright steady. Find Strange and Mordo. Actually scratch Mordo."

Strange looks around for Y/n. "This was a mistake."

The two get separated as Y/n runs along a rooftop before it split in half, as Y/n passed by people in their homes, "HWOA! WHAOS! WHOA!!"

Y/n kept falling as he tried to use his gem, no use. Y/n quickly landed on a rooftop before seeing Kaecilius, "damn it, he rules in this dimension. No magic anymore."

Y/n flies up to Strange as it gets rearranged by The Ancient One as he looks at him, "hey, Strange, you alright?"

"Call me Stephen." He says and Y/n nods.

Mordo looks at her, "It's true. She does draw power from the Dark Dimension."

The Ancient One looks at her former student, "Kaecilius."

Kaecilius looked at her. "I came to you broken, lost, bleeding. I trusted you to be my teacher, and you fed me lies."

The Ancient One looked at him. "I tried to protect you."

Kaecilius started to circle, "From the truth?"

The Ancient One did the same, "From yourself."

Kaecilius looked at her, "I have a new teacher now."

The Ancient One looks at him. "Dormammu deceives you You have no idea of what he truly is. His eternal life is not paradise, but torment."

Kaecilius approached her with his goons as they made weapons. "Liar."

The Ancient One manages to knock back his goons and use her hand to hand combat to knock them back further. Kaecilius tried to erupt the ground, but The Ancient One sent it back. Kaecilius used his goons and stabbed The Ancient One through him. She then kicked her into a portal. "NOO!!"

Y/n flew after her as Mordo and Strange followed after. In the real world, she crashed to the ground. People gasp around her as Y/n lands on the ground and looks at her. "Hey, hey, stay with me, you're gonna be okay. You're gonna be okay! Strange she needs help! NOW!"

Strange took her to the hospital, Y/n was right behind them but he was injured bad as well. "Y/n I'm sorry, you can't go any further."

"Stephen that's bullshit! I know what happened, let me try to use my stone." Y/n said as Strange looked at him.

"I will pull you in if that's the last thing possible. Okay? Because Kaecilius removed that contamination spell on your Gem and I don't want to risk your powers turning her to ash." Strange said as Y/n was frustrated and held his head. Strange felt sorry for him, tears was in Y/n's eyes.

"I just want her to be okay. Please." Y/n said as Strange nodded. Y/n went to his Astral form to see Strange and The Ancient One heading the balcony.

Y/n looked at her. "Ma'am! What are you doing?! You're dying! You have to return to your body now. You don't have much time left!"

The Ancient One smiled at him. "I taught you, Y/n...Time is relative. Your bodies haven't even hit the floor yet. I've spent so many years peering through time, looking at this exact moment. But I can't see past it. I've prevented countless terrible futures. And after each one, there's always another. And they all lead here, but never further."

Strange looked at her, "You think this is where you die."

"Come on, guys." Y/n looked at the two. "There's another way. Look, she's in the ER right now, in surgery. She can come out fine!"

The Ancient One looked at them. "Do you wonder what I see in your futures?"

Strange looked at her. "No. Yes."

"And you, Y/n?" She asked.

Y/n sighed with tears. "Yeah... I did."

The Ancient One admitted. "I never saw your futures, only its possibilities. Y/n, I could never truly get a glimpse of your last nor your future. But... the paths I saw were one of kindness and honest work."

"It's why I do what I do." The Ancient One nodded.

"Yes, well Wong has your suit and equipment from your time before.." she admitted. "Be careful not to lose sight of your magic though. Keep refining it, and you will be even greater than me. Strange have such a capacity for goodness. You always excelled, but not because you crave success, but because of your fear of failure."

Strange nodded. "It's what made me a great doctor."

The Ancient One nodded, "It's precisely what kept you from greatness. Arrogance and fear still keep you from learning the simplest and most significant lesson of all."

Strange looked at her, "Which is?"

The Ancient One looked at him, "It's not about you....When you first came to me, you asked me how I was able to heal Jonathan Pangborn. I didn't. He channels dimensional energy directly into his own body."

Y/n looked at her.  "He uses magic to walk..."

The Ancient One hummed, "Constantly. He had a choice: to return to to his own life, or to serve something greater than himself."

Strange looked at Y/n. "So, I could have my hands back again? The kid and I could have our old life back?"

The Ancient One nodded. "You could. And the world would be all the lesser for it. I've hated drawing power from the Dark Dimension, but as you well know, sometimes one must break the rules in order to serve the greater good."

Y/ n looked at her, "Mordo won't see it that way."

The Ancient One nodded. "Mordo's soul is rigid and unmovable, forged by the fires of his youth. He needs your flexibilities. just as you both need his strength. Only together do you stand a chance of stopping Dormammu."

Y/n looked at her saddened. "I'm not ready. I'm not ready to say goodbye yet!"

The Ancient One grabbed his hand softly as did Strange. "No one ever is. We don't get to choose our time. Death is what gives life meaning. To know your days are numbered, your time is short. You'd think after all this time I'd be ready. But look at me: stretching one moment out into a thousand, just so I can watch the snow."

She suddenly let go, and she was gone. Y/n returned to his original form as he cried. He slumped in his chair as the cloak wiped his tears away. "Stop. I know, I know..."

He looked up with his tears, he worked on his containment spell, "I'll need all the power I can get."

"You're not doing it alone." Strange said as he made the spell with him. The gem in Y/n's body was covered with orange runes. Y/n got up and used his green aura as it came out throughout the halls. Y/n then absorbed it all. "You ready?"

"It's time to end this." Y/n stated as they both walked away.

Hong Kong

Kaecilius is seen walking as Wong looks at his army. "Choose your weapon wisely. No one steps foot in this Sanctum. No one. Kaecilius."

Kaecilius looked at him, "You're on the wrong side of history, Wong."

Everyone got their weapons out as Y/n and Strange went back to Mordo. "She's dead."

Mordo nodded. "You were right. She wasn't who I thought she was."

Y/n looked at him, "It's complicated."

Mordo pitted him, "Complicated? The Dark Dimension is volatile, dangerous. What if it overtook her? She taught us it was forbidden, while she drew on its power to steal centuries of life."

Strange looked at him. "She did what she thought was right."

Mordo looked at them. "The bill comes due. Don't you see? Her transgressions led the zealots to Dormammu. Kaecilius was her fault. And here we are, in the consequence of her deception: a world on fire."

Y/n looked at him, "look I'm sorry for your pity act right now, but that's not gonna help. The London Sanctum has fallen, and New York has been attacked. Twice. Next up is Hong Kong."

"You told me once to fight as if my life depended on it, because one day, it might. Well, today is that day. Y/n and I can not defeat them alone." Strange told him as he opened a portal. Mordo rushed in as did the rest, but the area was broken.

Mordo shook his head, "The Sanctum has already fallen. The Dark Dimension. Dormammu is coming. It's too late. Nothing can stop him."

Y/n titled his head, "Not necessarily."

"No." Kaecilius said as Y/n stuck out his hands, he reversed time to before it all fell.

"Holy shit, that's the first time I've done it to this extent." Y/n shouted as he ran ahead.

Strange looked at him. "Spells working. We got a second chance."

Kaecilius tried to drop kick him but Strange kicked him away. Kaecilius threw him on the ground as Y/n ran up to him with a flying knee, Kaecilius was then kicked into the air and hit by a car going in reverse. "Gah-! Alright, im gonna need more concentration!"

"On it!" Strange shouted as he defended Y/n as buildings and life was revering. Y/n used the cloak to rise in the air, Strange punched Kaecilius back before Mordo grabbed his leg with his relic and put him on a wall, that rewinded to being built, trapping the man.

Y/n floated down to see how Wong died, "WONG!"

Strange used the eye to rewind everything. "We're breaking the laws of nature, I know."

Wong seemed impressed. "Well, don't stop now."

"When the Sanctum is restored, they will attack again. We have to defend it." Strange said as everyone went ahead.

"Come on!" Y/n shouted as Kaecilius broke out and sent a wave at Y/n and Strange. The spell broke and messed with time, everything froze.

"Get up, Strange. Get up and fight, Y/n!" Mordo said as Y/n tried to pull himself up, but he was bleeding from the head. He was losing focus fast. "We will finish this."

Kaecilius looked at them. "You can't fight the inevitable. Isn't it beautiful? A world beyond time. Beyond death."

Strange and Y/n realized. "Beyond time..."

"Strange! Y/n!" Mordo shouts. Y/n raised his hand as Stephen grabs it and pulls him towards the center.

Kaecilius smiled, "they're gone. Even Stephen Strange and the boy have left to surrender to his power."

Strange and Y/n explores the realm. They activates a time spell to prepare themselves. Y/n looks around, "so how do we find this guy?"

They heard a noise behind them and turn around. Strange looks at the creature, "Dormammu! We've come to bargain."

Dormammu killed them, "You've come to die. Your world is now my world, like all worlds."

Time rewinded as they landed again. "Dormammu! We've come to bargain."

Dormammu was confused. "You've come to die. Your world is now my world...What is this? Illusion?"

"No, last I checked this is reality." Y/n said.

Dormammu impaled them. "Good."

Once again, Y/n smirked. "Dormammu! We've come to bargain."

Dormammu glared at the two, "You two... what is happening?"

"Just as you gave Kaecilius powers from your dimension, we've brought a little power from our own. This is time: endless looped time." Strange explained.

Dormammu killed them again, "You dare!"

Strange nodded, "Dormammu! We've come to bargain."

Dormammu glared, "you both cannot do this forever."

"Actually, we can. This is how things are now: you and me, and the kid, trapped in this moment, endlessly." Strange said as he looked at Y/n. "He isn't so bad. I wouldn't mind being in here with him."

"Aw, thanks." Y/n teases.

Dormammu speaks. "Then you both will spend eternity dying."

Y/n smiled, putting his hands on his hips, "Yeah. But everyone on Earth will live happily."

Dormammu spoke again. "But you both will suffer."

Strange says, "Pain is an old friend."

"Dormammu!..." Strange dies.

"...I've come to bargain." Y/n dies again.

Dormammu shouts, "End this!"

"Dormammu!... Dormammu!... Dormammu!... [time loop]" Strange dies over and over again.

"Dormammu!... Dormammu!... Dormammu!... [time loop]" Y/n dies Uber and over again, smiling after seeing a creature as powerful as him get annoyed.

Dormammu looks at the two as they struggle to get up. "You will never win."

Strange nods, "No...But we can lose...again, and again, and again, and again, forever.

Y/n smirked as he was clearly tired, "And that makes you our bitch."

Dormammu realized, "No..."

He kills them for the 1000th time, but as predicted, the loop is still in effect. "STOP! MAKE THIS STOP!!!! SET ME FREE!"

"No. We've come to bargain." Strange shakes his head.

Dormammu looks at them. "...what do you want?"

Y/n points outside, "Take your asshole goons away from the Earth, end your assault on our world, never come back."

"...do it, and we'll break the loop." Strange says as the two fly again.

Kaecilius looks at the two as they return. "What have you done?"

Y/n smirked, "simple, hot topic, we made a bargain."

Kaecilius say himself starting to smoke. "What is this?"

Strange walked to them, "Well, it's, uh...it's everything you ever wanted: eternal life as part of the One. You're not going to like it."

The foes started to get pulled away into the Dark Dimension. Y/n looked at the void, "you know... if he had stolen the whole book, he would've saw the warnings at the end..."

Wong suddenly bursts into laughter. They looked at him. "Oh, that's funny."

Strange and Y/n out everything back to normal, as if nothing happened. "We did it."

"Yes. Yes, we did it." Mordo scoffs. "By also violating the natural laws."

"Mordo, my whole being is a violation of natural law. I have a infinity stone inside of me." Y/n looked at him, he smiled and speaks his arms out. "Looking around, Mordo. The day is saved, it's over."

"You still think there will be no consequences,? No price to pay? We broke our rules, just like her. The bill comes due. Always. A reckoning. I will follow this path no longer." Mordo walks away as they watch.

Strange is seen putting the amulet back. "Yeah, it's okay."

Wong smiled at him. "Wise choice. You'll wear the Eye of Agamotto once you've mastered its powers. Until then, best not to walk the streets wearing an Infinity Stone."

"I'm still not sure what that is. Y/n kept mentioning it." Strange said.

Wong looked at him. "You might have a gift for the mystic arts, but you still have much to learn. Word of the Ancient One's death will spread through the Multiverse. Earth has no Sorcerer Supreme to defend it. We must be ready."

Strange looked at him, "We'll be ready."

"Hey, so it's my time to go now." Y/n says as he walks to the entrance. Y/n had his Paradox suit in a case given by Wong.

Strange looks at him and floats down. "I'd wanted to say thank you... for all of this."

"Wow, a confession? I didn't think I'd hear those words from you Stephen." Y/n said as Strange patted him on the back. Y/n's cloak was still around him as it high fived Stephen's.

"When you die with someone enough times, that effect lasts on people." Strange said as he looked at him. "Make nice with your mom now."

"Hahaha, I will." Y/n said as he prepared to make a portal.

Meanwhile Kamala is seen in a chair as Maira and Fury look at her. "It should not be this fucking hard to get information out of a 14-year old!"

"She's scared Fury." Maira said as Kamala was nodding.

"Oh she is now, is she?" Fury walked up to her. "Just tell us where he is, woman!"

Orange sparks appeared in the room before a portal opened up, Y/n stepped through with a smile...before looking at the scene. "Um...I'm home."
