The Multiverse Tear

Olivia's face suddenly frowns, and her eyes become stern as she looks at her.

"What's wrong? What happened?" She asks as she feels in her gut that something is wrong.

Wanda's eyes narrow even more, as a hint of seriousness enters her face, even though Olivia can still see a hint of the annoyance still there. She sighs deeply, looking at her.

"Something is wrong with the multiverse. I believe there may be a rift...or a tear. We do not know for certain as of now, but I am trying to locate its origin." She explains, her voice still soft, but her eyes still have a seriousness to them that you can't ignore.

Olivia nods slightly, understanding the severity of the situation.

"What can we do to help?"

Wanda's eyes soften slightly, her seriousness not leaving her. She's concerned, to be sure.

The multiverse is a delicate thing, and it's very clear that the Scarlet Witch is not one to take any chances with the potential of it collapsing.

She holds out her hand to Olivia, and her eyes gaze into her.

"I am hoping you can help us locate and seal this tear. Your power is the only one that can find such an unnatural break in the laws of nature and reality."

Olivia smiles softly, while keeping a stern look on her face.

"I will do my best to locate it."

Wanda looks at her, her face serious, her red eyes staring right into Olivia's. She can feel all sorts of power emanating from her body, and she can't help but feel slightly overwhelmed right now.

Wanda nods, her face still serious.

"Your best won't be good enough." She says, her voice still soft, but it is punctuated by the seriousness of her statement.

"This is extremely serious. The multiverse could be at risk of collapsing if we aren't careful."

"Do you understand?"

Olivia nods with understanding of how dangerous this task will be.

"I will do everything in my power to locate and seal off the tear."

A soft smile spreads across Wanda's face and her eyes look a little less stern.

This is still the Scarlet Witch, and this is very much still a grave situation, but the smile just makes it slightly more manageable and less intimidating.

She squeezes Olivia's hand twice and lets go.

"Good, I am glad you understand the seriousness of the task at hand. Now, where exactly is this tear located?" She asks, looking at Olivia, still very much in control, but also seemingly more relaxed now that it seems that Olivia is taking this seriously.

Olivia begins to start an incantation spell that creates an enchanted circle around her as she levitates off the ground and her eyes glow with her divine magic as she locates the tear in the multiverse.

Wanda watches her incantation spell and the circle that's generated around her with interest and intensity. Her eyes stare right into Olivia's as she levitates in the air and her eyes glow with divine magic.

There's a hint of both fascination and seriousness in Wanda's eyes right now, as she watches Olivia work.

She waits, her eyes still on her as she locates the tear in the multiverse.

Olivia continues repeating the incantation as her eyes dart back and forth and all of her senses are heightened.

A few seconds later, she feels the ripple as she is finally able to locate it.

Her eyes fly open as she slowly lands her feet back on the ground and the circle closes from underneath her feet.

"I found it." Olivia says sternly.

"And where exactly is it?"

Wanda asks, her gaze still locked on hers, her eyes full of curiosity, interest, and still a slight bit of seriousness. She smiles, but it's a slight, serious smile.

"What does it look like?" She asks, tilting her head to the side.

There's a slight hint of intrigue in Wanda's eyes. She's already very powerful and impressive herself, but to know that there's something even stronger out there and that Olivia was able to locate it?

This has put the Scarlet Witch on full alert.

"It is in universe 314b where Kang the conqueror overthrown and destroyed all governments across that universe and now rules over it."

Wanda's eyes narrow as her face hardens again. She grips her cape and looks down. Her eyes are sharp and piercing once more.

A serious, determined look fills her eyes right now, and there's a hint of a very serious anger in her eyes as well.

The multiverse is her responsibility…

The responsibility she takes very seriously, and this situation clearly has struck a nerve. She stares straight down into Olivia's soul.

"And how do you propose that we go about sealing this tear?" She asks, her voice suddenly full of anger now.

Olivia ponders on the question, looking at the situation from every possible angle before coming to a solution.

"The only plausible solution is to neutralize Kang. From there, balance will be restored, and we can seal off the ripple."

Wanda nods.

"And what exactly are you suggesting as a way to neutralize Kang from universe 314b?" She asks, her face still very serious, and it is still clear that this is a very serious matter.

She knows that Kang the conqueror is someone even the Scarlet Witch would be careful about trying to fight. She could try, no doubt, but it would be a very big risk. She looks at Olivia, clearly looking for an answer.

Olivia ponders again figuring out how to take down Kang.

"We can't fight him head on it'll be too risky."

She groans slightly and rubs her chin as she thinks about Kang and his abilities paired up against theirs. Suddenly an idea pops into her head.

"We have to exploit his weakness. He has a code of honor, but this universe Kang is different..."

Olivia summons a hologram on universe 314b Kang with a woman.

"Most of the Kang variants are time travelers and take over planets out of spite or selfish greed..."

She points at the hologram of Kang, then to women.

"But this one did it because he lost the love of his life."

Olivia reaches out to the hologram and pushes Kang aside, leaving only the women.

"Her name is Lucia. I heard it being screamed by Kang the moment I found the tear."

With a snap of her fingers the holograms are gone.

"We exploit that weakness; we will have an advantage over him."

Wanda nods.

"Kang the conqueror. The biggest threat of the multiverse. I have faced him before, and I am well aware of how powerful and dangerous he is. But I've also studied his weaknesses, and you've hit upon a very good one just now." She says, a soft smile forming on her face.

"So you have a plan in mind then?" She says, looking at Olivia closely.

"How can we use this weakness to our advantage?" She asks, taking a breath after all these words were spoken.

"I think I might have something…"

Olivia takes a deep breath before speaking.

"My plan comes in 4 stages. Since we all know a form of the illusion spell, we will each individually attack him psychology, revving up in severity and intensity."

She looks at Loki.

"Loki you will attack him first. Start off small like with a whisper as Lucia then finally reveal yourself as her and disappear. I will go second, applying the pressure. Then last.."

She then looks at Wanda.

"You will come in with the final nail in the coffin. With him disoriented and confused we will all then attack him and put him down."

Wanda nods as Olivia explains the plan.

"That's... a very solid plan." She says, her face serious, as is her usual demeanor, but there is the barest hint of a smile on her face as well.

It's clear that she believes in this plan and has at the very least, a great deal of respect for the plan Olivia is laying out. She smiles now as she speaks.

"I think it will work well." She says.

"So, what do you need from us to achieve this?" She asks, tilting her head to the side.

Olivia looks at both of them before answering.

"The only two things I need from you two are cooperation and your abilities to do the illusion spells."

She continues to look at them both as she tilts her head to the side.

"Is that something you guys will be able to do?" She asks.

Wanda nods.

"It's perfectly doable." She says, as Olivia looks at her and Loki, the God of Mischief.

Wanda smiles and the look in her eyes is serious, but there's a slight hint of pride in her look and her smile.

"I have the power to put an end to this threat, I am the Scarlet Witch after all." She says, confidently.

Loki then smirks.

"And I am Loki… You know what that means. Trickery is kind of my thing," He adds, his tone playful now and he gives Olivia a wink.

Olivia smiles confidently.

"Then it's settled. With our combined abilities we should be able to defeat Kang, return that universe to normal, and seal of the tear in the multiverse."

The Scarlet Witch nods.

"Excellent."

Wanda's eyes are full of determination now, but still just a slight bit of pride, a small hint of confidence. She's fully committed to taking down Kang.

"Now, shall we begin preparing?" She asks, looking straight at them both.

Olivia nods.

"Yes, let's begin."

The 3 of them spent the afternoon discussing and planning out the plan of attack. They all believe this will work, it's just a matter of execution. It takes a fair bit of time and a ton of planning. But finally, they all determine a clear course of action.

Now it's time to put their plan into action….

They are now ready at the location where the tear is. They all get ready, and they look back at each other with a serious look in all of their eyes.

They all nod at each other and put the plan into action.

Wanda takes a deep breath, and then looks out into the world of universe 314b, taking a second before speaking.

"Kang..."

Her voice is serious now. Her eyes are intent. Then she speaks again.

"I have come for you."

The words echo across the multiverse, and it seems as if reality is shaking a little bit.

"I am the Scarlet Witch."

"It's time to put your tyranny to an end." She says, her face still serious.

Wanda grips the Darkhold, her source of power. It's clear that she has great power. She lets her hands glow with magic.

Loki pulls out his scepter and whispers some incantations. He holds out his staff in the direction of Kang and it glows as well.

Kang looks up, a little surprised.

"The Scarlet Witch..." He says, his eyes going wide with concern and fear.

"What are you doing here?"

His voice is filled with fear as the reality around them starts to shift slightly. He doesn't seem quite prepared for this.

Olivia summons the Book of the Damned as she uses the power from the book to cast an illusion spell on Kang.

She then conjures up a venom like smoke with her hands and speaks her illusion spell into it before disappearing and reappearing behind Kang, taping him gently on his temple, infecting him with the venom putting him under a trance.

Kang feels the venom as it affects him, and he falls into a trance. He's completely unaware of what's going on now.

Wanda raises her staff high and Loki smiles as he summons a large amount of dark magic from it. He snaps his fingers and time starts to slow down.

The world is moving slowly now…

Loki starts laughing as he looks at the situation, a mad, gleeful laugh as he steps closer to Kang.

Wanda looks on, a serious look on her face right now.

This is the moment. This is it...

Olivia grins as she takes a step back allowing Loki to handle him.

Loki's laughter grows louder and louder as he approaches Kang. Suddenly, he thrusts out his scepter in front of him, toward Kang, as the magic grows in intensity.

Time begins to move even slower now…

Then, with a simple gesture, Loki thrusts his scepter forward with all of his might, blasting a powerful bolt of magic at Kang the conqueror.

The reality around them begins to break and crumble as Kang the conqueror is completely destroyed by the impact, with nothing left behind.

There is a loud blast as Kang screams through the multiverse.

Olivia uses her long trench coat to cover herself from the blast and quickly casts a barrier around Loki.

Loki is protected by the magic, thanks to Olivia's quick thinking. Wanda raises her eyebrows. Her hair moves slightly, blown back by the blast of force that decimated Kang the conqueror.

And then there is silence. A deep silence…

A long silence as Loki, Olivia, and the Scarlet Witch are left standing together in universe 314b.

Silence fills the space, and it seems like time itself has frozen for a moment, the dust of the multiverse floats in the air.

Then there's an enormous, booming voice that speaks.

"...Well done."
