Before Mission Dialogue[]
Maria Hill: |
Agent. We've got a difficult problem on our hands. |
Agent Coulson: |
The Inhumans have located a new member they're calling the Profiler. This person has the ability to synthesize data and extrapolate trends. Effectively a future predicting machine. |
Maria Hill: |
Maximus the Mad is the Profiler's interpreter, and we're hearing from the Royal Family that Dr. Doom was going to cause an event that would exterminate all Inhumans. |
Tony Stark: |
Maximus!? Didn't we write something into S.H.I.E.L.D. bylaws about not listening to people called "the Mad"? Especially the ones who lie to us, and their own families? |
Maria Hill: |
Hear them out. |
Medusa: |
Maximus's actions are difficult to understand sometimes. But we have seen the Profiler's predictions come to pass in several test. So we acted on this one. |
Agent Coulson: |
By acted, she means they have invaded Latveria and imprisoned Doom. That's where the problem comes in. |
Medusa: |
There is no problem. We are protecting ourselves. You would do the same. |
Ms. Marvel: |
She's right. Doom is a terrorist and they're stopping him from commiting future crimes. |
Agent Coulson: |
Well, he's also been a valuable asset in the Incursion fight. |
Tony Stark: |
Whether we like Doom or not, the Inhumans have violated the sovereignty of a nation. That's a no-no. S.H.I.E.L.D. has to answer actions like that. |
Captain America: |
No, we don't. They were acting in the interest of the greater good. If we can prevent crimes instead of investigate them...how many lives does that save? |
Tony Stark: |
We can't know. A prediction is a prediction, Cap. Not a guarantee. |
Captain America: |
That's a chance I think we can take. |
Thor: |
We must. Seers in Asgard speak of Ragnarok. |
Maria Hill: |
I agree. The integrity of S.H.I.E.L.D. is at stake...and so, apparently, is the integrity of the future. If we can act to prevent catastrophe, we must. |
Tony Stark: |
By maybe causing another catastrophe? |
Maria Hill: |
Think of what we could have done with this kind of knowledge before, Stark. We might have Director Fury. And you might even still have a house. |
Agent Coulson: |
Maria, I'm not going to be part of this. |
Tony Stark: |
Me neither. |
Rescue: |
I'm with Tony. So are T'Challa, Daisy, and Hank Pym. |
Maria Hill: |
You're making a bad decision. We are going to take action beginning now, in support of the Inhuman royal family. |
Tony Stark: |
If you're taking the side of a nut like Maximus, we're going to have to take our own actions. |
Ms. Marvel: |
This doesn't have to get violent, Tony. |
Tony Stark: |
We'll blink when you do. You're the ones screwing around with the future. |
Captain America: |
We're the ones saving it. The Profiler's pointing to the High Evolutionary as the cause of it all. We're going after him. Whoever's with us, the Quinjet leaves now. |
Mission 1 (Pro-Predictive Justice)[]
Mission Start[]
Maria Hill: |
We are almost to the Savage Land, where we will throw a wrench into the High Evolutionary's works. |
Blue Marvel: |
If we can do this, we're going to save the world...but we only have 28 days. That's what we're hearing from the Profiler, via Maximus. |
Maria Hill: |
The Inhumans are meeting us at the landing site so we can get the latest. |

Mini-Boss: Stegron[]
Reveal[]
Lizard: |
I have sseeen Stegron. He isss working with the High Evolutionary.
Perhapss he wissshes to evolve further. |
Ms. Marvel: |
If we have to go through him to get to the High Evolutionary, that's what we'll do. Get your team into the field, Agent. The Lizard's not going to be able to handle this on his own. |
Start[]
Lizard. You are an imposstor! No true ssaurian. When our evolution has taken its next sstep, you will be extinct.
Unlesss...I remove you from the gene pool firsst. |
Stegron: |
Lizard: |
Wyndham is playing you for a ssssucker. |
Repeat[]
Lizard: |
Sstegron! You have won nothing yet. |
Lose[]
You ssee. Already we have advanced beyond your power to oppose ussss. | Stegron: |
Complete[]
Ms. Marvel: |
Did you capture Stegron? |
Lizard: |
No. He has fled in the company of more Iso-Saursss. |
Ms. Marvel: |
All right. Continue the sweep and let's isolate the High Evolutionary's lab. |
Mini-Boss: Sauron[]
Reveal[]
War Machine: |
Sauron and a band of Iso-Saurs are blocking the trail here. |
Captain America: |
Take'em out, Rhodes. We're on the clock here. |
Start[]
War Machine: |
Sauron. What did the High Evolutionary promise you? |
We have an agreement. Its details are not your concern. You should worry about staying alive if you're going to trespass in saurian lands. | Sauron: |
War Machine: |
That agreement's been terminated. |
Repeat[]
War Machine: |
You're going to get of this trail. Walk or fly, or I'll drag your body, doesn't matter to me. |
Lose[]
The Savage Land belongs to us, interlopers! Be gone or die! | Sauron: |
Complete[]
War Machine: |
Road's clear. We ready to go after the High Evolutionary? |
Maria Hill: |
As soon as the team is in place. Blue Marvel's zeroing in on the lab and assessing the best approaches.
Agent, get in touch with Dr. Brashear and let's get this operation completed. |
Boss: High Evolutionary[]
Reveal[]
Blue Marvel: |
There's his lab. |
Maria Hill: |
He won't be alone. Go carefully and wait for the full team to arrive. |
Captain America: |
Maybe we can nip this whole thing in the bud before it gets too far out of hand. |
Start[]
Blue Marvel: |
Wyndham. |
Ah. Adam Brashear. Come to join the great work? Your expertise may be useful. | High Evolutionary: |
Blue Marvel: |
No, I've come to stop you before you accidentally end the world. |
I do nothing accidentally. The course of evolution is a course of choices made, responses to environmental factors. Chance has nothing to do with it when I am involved. | High Evolutionary: |
Blue Marvel: |
Then as long as you choose to stop, everything is going to work out. |
That is not an option. My associates will escort you out. | High Evolutionary: |
Repeat[]
Blue Marvel: |
Wyndham, if you don't stop this project, we're going to stop it for you. |
Lose[]
Scientific progress has ever triumphed over the opposition of small minds. | High Evolutionary: |
Complete[]
Blue Marvel: |
The High Evolutionary got out while the getting was good. But was that...she looked like Thor, but... |
Maria Hill: |
One of the High Evolutionary's creations? |
Blue Marvel: |
There was an antimatter energy signature on her hammer. That might be a clue about her origins. Someone should ask Thor. |
Thor: |
I have never seen her before. Surely she is an impostor, I will learn more. |
Blue Marvel: |
While you do that, I'm just going to destroy the High Evolutionary's lab. It'll only take a minute. |
Mission Complete[]
Maria Hill: |
Good. The High Evolutionary is on the run and we've destroyed his lab. Whatever research he was doing, he's not doing it anymore. |
Maximus the Mad: File:Maximus the Mad Icon 1.png |
You must turn you attention to your former friends. T'Challa is embarking on a most dangerous research program. Ulysses sees a dark ending if it reaches completion. |
Maria Hill: |
Ulysses? |
Maximus the Mad: File:Maximus the Mad Icon 1.png |
Yes, Maria. The Profiler has a name. There's no need for pseudonyms since we all trust each other. |
Ms. Marvel: |
Then our next stop is Wakanda. Maximus, what are we looking for? |
Maximus the Mad: File:Maximus the Mad Icon 1.png |
What does anyone look for in Wakanda? It is always Vibranium, is it not? |
Ms. Marvel: |
If that's where Ulysses says the threat is coming from, then we're going after the Vibranium. |
Blue Marvel: |
T'Challa is not going to like this. |
Ms. Marvel: |
He chose the wrong side. He'll have to live with the consequences of that choice. |
Mission 1 (Anti-Predictive Justice)[]
Mission Start[]
Tony Stark: |
Good call, Agent. Glad to have you on our side. First thing we do is --what the hell? |
Thor (Jane Foster): |
Stark. Coulson. |
Tony Stark: |
Great. Another Asgardian. Nice entrance. Love the lightning. |
Agent Coulson: |
Who are you? |
Thor (Jane Foster): |
Thor. |
Agent Coulson: |
I don't think so. |
Thor (Jane Foster): |
The Truth does not care what you think. |
Tony Stark: |
Wait. Let me take a look. I can see if--well, I'll be damned. That's actually Mjolnir. But there's also traces of antimatter in its aura. |
Agent Coulson: |
They believe they are doing the right thing, but the future says otherwise. |
Agent Coulson: |
Then he'll get it. We're on our way to the Savage Land. |
Deploy 1[]
Screen Text[]
As always, the Savage Land is lousy with Iso-Saurs. Send a hero to try and track the movements of the larger groups so we're not suprised.
Deploy 2[]
Screen Text[]
Ka-Zar knows the Savage Land as well as any human. Send him to tell Sauron to stay clear of our operations.
Deploy 3[]
Screen Text[]
A field team of agents protecting one trail leading to the High Evolutionary's lab is under attack. Send a blaster to help them out.
Deploy 4[]
Screen Text[]
We saw Stegron skulking around the area. Send a tactician to see what he's up to. Observation only unless he starts a fight.
Mini-Boss: Hawkeye[]
Reveal[]
Kate Bishop: |
This isn't funny. |
Agent Coulson: |
What isn't funny? |
Kate Bishop: |
Clint Barton happening to pass close to my sentry point isn't funny. |
Tony Stark: |
Actually, it kind of is. A little. Ironic, anyway. |
Start[]
You didn't have to choose the other side just because I chose this one. | Hawkeye: |
Kate Bishop: |
I didn't. |
Kate Bishop: |
You're incredibly full of yourself, you know that? |
It's just an act. | Hawkeye: |
Kate Bishop: |
Well, it fits with thinking you should go screwing around with the future. |
Repeat[]
Kate Bishop: |
Figured I'd find you sneaking around again. |
Lose[]
Team. I have found an aproach to the target. | Hawkeye: |
Complete[]
Kate Bishop: |
How's that for contrary, Clint? Helllooooo?
That's what I thought. |
Mini-Boss: Ant-Man[]
Reveal[]
Wasp: |
I just spotted Ant-Man shrinking down to try to infiltrate the High Evolutionary's lab. |
Agent Coulson: |
I knew we were smart to send you out looking for him. |
Wasp: |
He's riding one of a herd of Iso-Saurs. |
Tony Stark: |
Agent, you know what to look for. A herd of Iso-Saurs and two tiny customed people. |
Start[]
Watch out. I have a ravening pack of Iso-Saurs under my absolute control. | Ant-Man: |
Wasp: |
Really. Where are the ants? |
You'll find out in three...two... | Ant-Man: |
Wasp: |
Ow! |
Repeat[]
Wasp: |
Where are you and your little herd of ants going now, Scott? |
Lose[]
I am the best damn insect-themed hero around. Any doubters? | Ant-Man: |
Complete[]
Wasp: |
He's gone. I don't know which way he went, but the ants are gone too. |
Agent Coulson: |
And the Iso-Saurs? |
Wasp: |
They're out of commission. |
Agent Coulson: |
Keep an eye out. You know Scott. Once he sets his sights on breaking in somewhere, it's hard for him to think about anything else. |
Boss: Blue Marvel[]
Reveal[]
Thor (Jane Foster): |
Blue Marvel is here...and he's got Captain America and the Winter Soldier with him. |
Tony Stark: |
They mean business. |
Thor (Jane Foster): |
I too mean business. |
Tony Stark: |
That expression just sounds weird when an Asgardian says it. |
Start[]
There's something interesting about you...trace antimatter signatures...you're not from this timestream, are you? | Blue Marvel: |
Thor (Jane Foster): |
You need only know this: I am Thor and you will not interfere with the High Evolutionary's work. |
Clouds. They weren't here a second ago. | Winter Soldier: |
That's a Thor trick. Keep your head down. | Captain America: |
Whoever she is, she's between us and Herbert Wyndham. Take her out. | Blue Marvel: |
Repeat[]
Thor (Jane Foster): |
The High Evolutionary will not receive visitors. He asked that I greet you in his stead. |
Lose[]
Okay. Now let's hit the High Evolutionary before he can finish his research. | Blue Marvel: |
Complete[]
Thor (Jane Foster): |
Perhaps they will not question me next time. |
Tony Stark: |
I know I wouldn't. |
Mission Complete[]
Tony Stark: |
So far, so good. The Captains and their pals are on the run. |
High Evolutionary: File:High Evolutionary Icon 1.png |
I thank you for protecting my work, Agent Coulson. S.H.I.E.L.D. and I have not always been allies, but whatever is in our past, let it remain there. |
Agent Coulson: |
All right. For now. |
High Evolutionary: File:High Evolutionary Icon 1.png |
I can build a device to stop the Inhumans--and the Profiler--by in effect jamming their Terrigen-derived abilities. Is this of interest to you? |
Tony Stark: |
Keep talking. |
High Evolutionary: File:High Evolutionary Icon 1.png |
I will need a great deal of Vibranium...which, as one of the present company well knows, is only to be found in Wakanda. |
Black Panther: |
I do not like this. |
High Evolutionary: File:High Evolutionary Icon 1.png |
Certainly. I understand. But... |
Black Panther: |
I did not say I would not permit it. I will grant you access to the Vibranium. But I will also keep a very close eye on how you propose to use it. |
High Evolutionary: File:High Evolutionary Icon 1.png |
Of course. |
Agent Coulson: |
If we have a deal, then...let's get to Wakanda. |
Mission 2 (Pro-Predictive Justice)[]
Mission Start[]
Maria Hill: |
Black Panther has chosen Stark's side, and he's putting all of Wakanda's resources into a new technology. |
Blue Marvel: |
If he can get it running, it will specifically disrupt Terrigen-derived powers. In other words, it will depower the Inhumans. |
Maria Hill: |
Given other circumstances in play, that will lead to the end of the world--just as the High Evolutionary planned. |
Maximus the Mad: File:Maximus the Mad Icon 1.png |
This is precisely what Ulysses has foreseen. |
Blue Marvel: |
History is stubborn. Changing it--or changing the future--won't be easy. But it's something we have to do. |
Captain America: |
We'll be tangling both with T'Challa and with the White Gorilla mercenaries, who have their own designs on the critical Vibranium deposits. |
Ms. Marvel: |
We have to secure the Vibranium at any cost. |
Deploy 1[]
Screen Text[]
White Gorillas have made off with a truckload of Vibranium. Send Frank Castle to get it back...and send a message.
Start[]
Maria Hill: |
Frank. A squad of White Gorillas has stolen a truckload of Vibranium. You're our man to get it back. |
Punisher: |
Drop me out of a Quinjet. I'll drive the truck back. |
Deploy 2[]
Screen Text[]
This area is controlled by White Gorillas. Send a scrapper to clear them out so we can use the approaches to the Vibranium deposits.
Deploy 3[]
Screen Text[]
Man-Ape has taken a personal interest in getting his hands on some Vibranium. We haven't seen him, but the untel is good. Send Red Hulk to guard the target location.
Start[]
Complete[]
Deploy 4[]
Screen Text[]
Send a hero to observe the Wakandan military base closest to our operating base. If T'Challa's going to send his army after it, we should have some warning.
Deploy 5[]
Screen Text[]
Mini-Boss: Scarlet Witch[]
Reveal[]
Vision: |
This is...uncomfortable. The White Gorillas have attacked this Vibranium mine, and Wanda is taking advantage of the weakened defense to capture the Vibranium herself. |
Maria Hill: |
We're all making hard choices, Vision. We have to do what's necessary. |
Start[]
I don't want to fight you. | Scarlet Witch: |
Vision: |
We can agree on that, at least. |
Interfering with the future is going to lead to destruction. Can't you see that? | Scarlet Witch: |
Vision: |
The Inhumans seem convinced otherwise. I believe we must protect them. If T'Challa builds a device to depower them, who is say to you or I will not be next? |
He would never do that. | Scarlet Witch: |
Vision: |
I am unwilling to take that chance, or to take a chance on letting a catastrophe occur through my inaction. I am sorry, Wanda. |
So am I. | Scarlet Witch: |
Repeat[]
Vision: |
Wanda. I cannot permit this. |
Lose[]
Let's get the Vibranium out of here. This better be worth it. | Scarlet Witch: |
Complete[]
Vision: |
These divisions between us are painful. |
Maria Hill: |
We know. Trust us. She'll come around once she understands the truth. |
Vision: |
I hope you are correct. In any event, this Vibranium deposit is secure. |
Mini-Boss: Hercules[]
Reveal[]
Wonder Man: |
Hercules? Why is he even taking a side? Can't he just hide out in Olympus? |
Ms. Marvel: |
Ask him. He's headed your way. |
Start[]
Ah. The actor. | Hercules: |
Wonder Man: |
I'm a little more than that. |
Let us put on a play! It will have battle, and victory! And, for you, bitter defeat. | Hercules: |
Wonder Man: |
And you say I'm the actor... |
Repeat[]
Wonder Man: |
You can carry a lot of Vibranium, that's for sure. But I'm not going to let you carry it out here. |
Lose[]
A great victory! Now...what use can we make of this metal? | Hercules: |
Complete[]
Past is past, and future unknown. So they must remain. | Hercules: |
Wonder Man: |
That's not really a solution when the end of the world is staring you in the face. |
I'm staring you in the face. And I'm going to be the end of your world if you do not yield. | Hercules: |
Boss: Black Panther[]
Reveal[]
Blue Marvel: |
Here comes the King. And he's got backup. |
Ms. Marvel: |
So do you, Adam. It's on the way. Agent, hold that Vibranium. |
Start[]
Blue Marvel: |
Sorry, T'Challa. Wakanda may be your country, but this Vibranium is a problem for the whole world. S.H.I.E.L.D. is going to hang onto it for now. |
A useful pretext. Just as the Inhumans' professed concern was a useful pretext for the violation of Latveria's sovereignty. This hypocrisy will not be unopposed. | Black Panther: |
Also, if you go messing around with the future, it's going to go wrong. I mean, when has that ever worked? | Quake: |
Blue Marvel: |
We don't have a choice. We have to try. |
We do have a choice. We're making it. | Falcon: |
Blue Marvel: |
You're making the choice to do nothing. |
No. We are making the choice to prevent you from making a cataclysmic mistake. | Black Panther: |
Repeat[]
Blue Marvel: |
You can't do this, T'Challa. Not without going through me. |
Lose[]
Your intentions may be good, but you are being misled. Leave Wakanda before any more damage is done. | Black Panther: |
Complete[]
Blue Marvel: |
We held them off. They retreated. |
Ms. Marvel: |
Are there other Vibranium deposits we don't know about? |
Maria Hill: |
Not in Wakanda. We've catalogued all of them, and they're all under our control. |
Captain America: |
Then the Terrigen inhibitor plan isn't a problem anymore, right? |
Maria Hill: |
Never underestimate T'Challa and Stark. If there's a way to find a solution, they'll do it. So we need to stay on top of them. |
Mission Complete[]
Maria Hill: |
We are now in control of Wakanda's Vibranium supply. With that choked off, T'Challa can't build his Terrigen inhibitor. |
Blue Marvel: |
We just might save the world after all. |
Ms. Marvel: |
Stark and his anti-prediction gang are on the run. We're hunting them. As soon as we've pinned down their location, we'll move. |
Maximus the Mad: File:Maximus the Mad Icon 1.png |
Marvelous. A new future lives again! If, that is, you can see this fight through to its end. |
Mission 2 (Anti-Predictive Justice)[]
Mission Start[]
High Evolutionary: File:High Evolutionary Icon 1.png |
Superb. The work is coming along well. As soon as sufficient Vibranium is collected, I will be able to activate the device. |
Tony Stark: |
Well, that's going to be complicated. Blue Marvel has tracked us here. We're not going to have a lot of peace and quiet. |
Agent Coulson: |
We have to hold them off long enough to get this device up and running. |
Tony Stark: |
There's another problem, too: White Gorillas. |
Black Panther: |
I should have eliminated them before. This time, I will.
You will have your Vibranium, Herbert Wyndham. See to it that your work is worthy of this. |
High Evolutionary: File:High Evolutionary Icon 1.png |
Oh, it will be. |
Deploy 1[]
Screen Text[]
The White Gorillas are hitting this location hard, trying to get at the Vibranium stored there. Send a hero to help the defenders.
Deploy 2[]
Screen Text[]
T'Challa has shared the location of all known Vibranium deposits and facilities. Send a scrapper to do a sweep and see which of them is most threatened by White Gorillas...or our former friends.
Deploy 3[]
Screen Text[]
Send a blaster to guard a processing facility while they load a truck with Vibranium.
Deploy 4[]
Screen Text[]
We're sending a big shipment of Vibranium from a processing facility to the Hellicarrier. Send Groot to ride shotgun.
Start[]
Agent Coulson: |
Groot, hop on the back of the truck and if you see any hostiles, you know what to do. |
Groot: |
I am Groot. |
Complete[]
Groot: |
I am Groot! |
Agent Coulson: |
Excellent. That's what we were hoping. Almost there... |
Deploy 5[]
Screen Text[]
Ares is looking for a fight, and we might have found him one. Man-Ape has taken an interest in this Vibranium deposit.
Mini-Boss: Hulk[]
Reveal[]
Black Widow: |
It's the Hulk. He hasn't seen me yet. |
Tony Stark: |
The important question is has he seen the Vibranium? |
Black Widow: |
I don't know why else he would just happen to be in Wakanda. Do you? |
Agent Coulson: |
Then delay him as long as you can. Help is on the way. |
Start[]
Black Widow: |
Hey, big guy. |
Don't | Hulk: |
Black Widow: |
You don't have to do this. |
I do. I will. You can stay or not. | Hulk: |
Repeat[]
Black Widow: |
Come on, big guy. We don't have to do this again, do we? |
Lose[]
Hulk: |
Hill. Come get the Vibranium. |
Complete[]
Black Widow: |
That's...never fun. |
Tony Stark: |
You held him off, though. Nice work, Agent Romanoff. |
Black Widow: |
If he shows up again, I'll be looking for a little more in the way of fire support. |
Tony Stark: |
Seems like you did fine to me. We're stretched pretty thin. |
Mini-Boss: Thor[]
Reveal[]
Thor (Jane Foster): |
It is the Odinson. Has he...does he know of me? |
Agent Coulson: |
We're not sure. |
Thor (Jane Foster): |
He will be angry. |
Tony Stark: |
He does have a temper. You'll have some help. |
Start[]
Impostor! You dare take the name of Thor? | Thor: |
Thor (Jane Foster): |
I take only what was given to me. |
Witch! Sorceress! I am the Odinson! I am the god of thunder! I am your justice! | Thor: |
In-Fight[]
By the Aesir, what sorcery is this? Mjolnir resists striking at you! | Thor: |
Thor (Jane Foster): |
Mjolnir knows who is worthy, Odinson. |
I know not how you deceive the Odinforce, but you will suffer for it. | Thor: |
Repeat[]
Thor (Jane Foster): |
I will not stand down, Odinson. The Realms hang in the balance. |
Lose[]
Now we see who is truly worthy. | Thor: |
Complete[]
Thor (Jane Foster): |
It is difficult to believe two Thors, two Mjolnirs... |
Tony Stark: |
Why not? You're Thor, right? |
Thor (Jane Foster): |
It seems our interaction must twist the worlds out of shape. |
Tony Stark: |
At the risk of sounding snooty, I want to quote Hamlet on more things in heaven and earth, et cetera. |
Thor (Jane Foster): |
Don't. |
Tony Stark: |
Okay. But you get the point. We're all in uncharted territory here. |
Boss: Mr. Fantastic[]
Reveal[]
Black Panther: |
While we were guarding the Vibranium, Reed Richards learned where the High Evolutionary was working. He is closing in, with Spider-Man and the Human Torch. |
Agent Coulson: |
Agent, we have to protect the Vibranium but also keep the High Evolutionary's device undamaged. It's a tall order. |
Start[]
T'Challa. I never expected to see us on opposite sides of a scientific issue. You're smarter than this. | Mr. Fantastic: |
Black Panther: |
Smart enough to know when I don't know enough to make an intelligent decision, Reed. Unlike you, it seems. |
Now that's got to be the first time anyone's ever said Reed Richards wasn't smart enough. | Spider-Man: |
Black Panther: |
This is not a situation to make light of, Spider-Man. What reason do you have to trust Maximus the Mad? |
I'm trusting Reed and Cap. Simple as that. | Spider-Man: |
Black Panther: |
And you, Johnny Storm? |
What Spider-Man said. If Reed thinks this is the thing to do, this is the thing we'll do. | Human Torch: |
Repeat[]
Black Panther: |
They are persistent. We must be equally resolute. |
Lose[]
Johnny, as soon as you can get close to the High Evolutionary's device, melt it to slag. | Mr. Fantastic: |
Complete[]
Black Panther: |
We have driven them off. Wyndham, how much more time do you require? I wish this conflict to move outside Wakanda's borders. |
Mission Complete[]
Black Panther: |
We have the Vibranium. Both the White Gorillas and...our former associates...have fled. |
High Evolutionary: File:High Evolutionary Icon 1.png |
Excellent news! The terrigen inhibitor is fully designed. Once the Vibranium supply is available, there is only one more thing I need. |
Tony Stark: |
Which is...? |
High Evolutionary: File:High Evolutionary Icon 1.png |
A powerful broadcasting network on standard wireless frequencies. And by powerful, I mean one with global reach. |
Hank Pym: |
There's one in San Francisco. Specifically Utopia. I helped design it with -- |
High Evolutionary: File:High Evolutionary Icon 1.png |
Then to Utopia we must go. There we can put the final stage of the plan in motion. |
Mission 3 (Pro-Predictive Justice)[]
Mission Start[]
Maximus the Mad: File:Maximus the Mad Icon 1.png |
Ulysses has spoken again. I convey that wisdom to you. Our enemies are still searching for Vibranium, and though we control Wakanda's supply, there is more to be had. |
Maximus the Mad: File:Maximus the Mad Icon 1.png |
If they gather enough of these old units, all is lost. They will power up the Terrigen inhibitor using old transmitting equipment on Utopia. |
Blue Marvel: |
Time is growing very short. Let's move. |

Stark and his friends are collecting Ultrons. Many of them are deactivated, but some of them seem to be working just fine. Send a hero to get an inventory of what was at the mech holding facility the Ultrons came from.

One of the Ultron drones has broken away from its escort and is heading south out of the city. Send Misty Knight to stop it before it gets too far.

We're accounting for more and more of the Ultrons, but every pair of eyes in the field means we're going to get them taken care of faster. Send a blaster on an Ultron hunt.
Mini-Boss: Quicksilver[]
Reveal[]
Crystal: |
Quicksilver is shepherding a group of Ultron drones toward the waterfront. He must be taking them to Utopia. |
Maria Hill: |
You know what to do, Crystal. Help is on the way. |
Start[]
Crystal: |
Pietro. Where are you going with all those Ultrons? |
I think you know. If your Profiler keeps convincing you to interfere with the future, we're all going to die. | Quicksilver: |
Crystal: |
If you let Stark and T'Challa build their device, how many Inhumans will die? |
You always think the worst of me, don't you? Maybe no one dies this way. Either way, it'sbetter than the whole world going up in smoke. | Quicksilver: |
Repeat[]
Crystal: |
You haven't gotten away from me yet, Pietro Maximoff. |
Lose[]
You Ultrons need to move faster. Let's get to Utopia! | Quicksilver: |
Complete[]
Crystal: |
I have the Ultrons but Quicksilver vanished. |
Maria Hill: |
He does that. The Ultrons are the important thing, as long as he didn't take their Vibranium components. |
Crystal: |
He did not. |
Maria Hill: |
Good. We'll bring them in and lock them up. |
Mini-Boss: Colossus[]
Reveal[]
Gorgon: |
For a moment I thought I was seeing a group of Ultrons moving through the city on its own. But now I see one of them is actually Colossus. |
Ms. Marvel: |
You're clear to engage, Gorgon. Destroy those Ultrons. |
Start[]
Gorgon: |
I would think the X-Men would understand how we Inhumans feel about being targeted. |
Yes. We too have been hunted. Even now, many would wish us not just depowered but dead. | Colossus: |
Gorgon: |
Then why would you fight me? |
Because we also understand that when you put one group of people above the general welfare, all is lost. | Colossus: |
Gorgon: |
You can take the boy out of the Soviet Union, but you can't take the communist out of the boy, can you? |
Repeat[]
Gorgon: |
I would shake this city down rather than let you bring those machines to Utopia. |
Lose[]
To Utopia...and a new world waiting to be born. | Colossus: |
Complete[]
Gorgon: |
He is strong. But this time, I was stronger. |
Maria Hill: |
Do you have the Ultrons? |
Gorgon: |
Yes. I think I have them all. Most of them are no longer intact. |
Maria Hill: |
We'll get a team out to collect the pieces. |
Boss: Iron Man[]
Reveal[]
Ms. Marvel: |
We've cut off most of the Ultrons, but not all of them. Here comes Tony Stark, with Hank Pym and at least one Ultron unit. |
Captain America: |
We're headed your way, Carol. |
Ms. Marvel: |
I might not be able to wait for you to get here. |
Start[]
Ms. Marvel: |
Stark, we can't just stand around while the world ends. |
We're not. We're making sure we don't jump off one cliff by trying to avoid another. | Iron Man: |
You have no idea whether you can trust Maximus, or the Profiler. But you're taking their side against us. | Hank Pym: |
Ms. Marvel: |
I'm taking the side of the future of the human race. Unlike you, who seem to have made friends with Ultron. |
I perform the actions assigned by Dr. Pym. Do I attack? | Ultron: |
Yes. | Hank Pym: |
Repeat[]
Ms. Marvel: |
We can't risk inaction, Stark. If you depower the Inhumans, you're dooming us all. |
Lose[]
Okay, let's get this beacon fired up and solve the problem once and for all. | Iron Man: |
Complete[]
You're going to kill us all, Carol. Maximus is leading you down one of his rabbit holes and you have no idea where it goes. | Iron Man: |
Ms. Marvel: |
I'd rather die knowing I tried to save myself than just lean up against the wall and wait for the bullet. |
Well, you'll get part of that wish. | Iron Man: |
bzzzt--kk** | Ultron: |
Blue Marvel: |
Carol. Get back to base as soon as you can. There has been an...unexpected consequence of this operation. |
Mission Complete[]
Ms. Marvel: |
Well, there's good news and bad news. |
Blue Marvel: |
The High Evolutionary's plans are permanently disrupted. That's the good news. |
Ms. Marvel: |
The bad news is that while we were chasing after Stark and the Ultron drones, the real Ultron was watching. |
Ms. Marvel: |
No. We did what was necessary. It's not too late. We can -- |
Blue Marvel: |
Kang! |
Mission 3 (Anti-Predictive Justice)[]
Mission Start[]
Tony Stark: |
Okay, Herbie. You wanted a lab to fire up your Terrigen inhibitor, here it is. Utopia's got everything you need. Cyclops even gave us permission to use it. |
High Evolutionary: File:High Evolutionary Icon 1.png |
Yes. It is quite...utopian. |
Black Panther: |
Let's get something clear. This is temporary. |
High Evolutionary: File:High Evolutionary Icon 1.png |
Yes. It will block the Inhumans' abilities only as long as it is in operation. |
Tony Stark: |
From what I can tell, it looks solid. The Terrigen genome interactions are interrupted by this signal... |
Hank Pym: |
...and when the signal stops broadcasting, everything should return to normal. |
Black Panther: |
Most of the technology I have seen before. I believe I understand it. |
Tony Stark: |
Yeah, I think we do. At least well enough to figure it'll do what Wyndham says it'll do. |
Hank Pym: |
Uh oh. The Captains have found us. And...do they have Servo Guards? They must have gotten to Doom. |
Tony Stark: |
We need to buy Wyndham enough time to get the signal calibrated. Let's go. people. We're not going to get them to listen as long as the Profiler is still talking. |
Kitty Pryde: |
Cyclops and I will help, Stark. As long as we've let you stay, we'll pitch in to defend. If you're sure this is the right thing to do. |
Tony Stark: |
One hundred percent. |

Mini-Boss: Karnak[]
Reveal[]
Kitty Pryde: |
Karnak's trying to get onto Utopia. |
Agent Coulson: |
Good thing you spotted him, Kitty. Let's see him try his stress-point tricks when you're phased. |
Start[]
We Inhumans once had a utopia of our own. | Karnak: |
Kitty Pryde: |
Then I imagine you know how I feel about you showing up to make a mess out of ours. |
Would that we could do otherwise...but the Profiler was very clear. The High Evolutionary will bring about our end. Surely you understand we cannot permit that? | Karnak: |
Kitty Pryde: |
I understand that you're putting a little too much trust in what Maximus says about the Profiler. |
Then we must disagree. | Karnak: |
Repeat[]
Kitty Pryde: |
That's it. I tried to be understanding, but you need to get far away from Utopia right now. |
Lose[]
Herbert Wyndham, i am coming for you... | Karnak: |
Complete[]
Kitty Pryde: |
Karnak flew away on his scooter thing. I don't know where he went. |
Tony Stark: |
Probably off to another séance with Maximus. Stay on guard, Kitty. We appreciate your help. |
Mini-Boss: Black Bolt[]
Reveal[]
Cyclops: |
Found Black Bolt. Is he protecting the Profiler? |
Agent Coulson: |
We don't know who the Profiler is. No one has shared that information with us. |
Cyclops: |
Okay then, I'll let you know what I find out. |
Start[]
Repeat[]
Cyclops: |
Once more into the breach, Agent. |
Lose[]
Cyclops: |
I'm going to need some backup. |
Complete[]
Cyclops: |
I guess there was less common ground than I'd hoped. |
Iron Man: |
It was a good speech, though. |
Agent Coulson: |
How's the High Evolutionary doing with the inhibitor? |
High Evolutionary: File:High Evolutionary Icon 1.png |
It is nearly ready. Leave me in peace to complete it. |
Iron Man: |
We'd be happy to, but I don't think Carol Danvers feels the same. |
Boss: Captain Marvel[]
Reveal[]
Iron Man: |
Coulson, I found Carol. Everybody buckle up. We might encounter some turbulence. |
Start[]
Iron Man: |
Carol-- |
Captain Marvel | Ms. Marvel: File:Ms. Marvel Icon.png |
Iron Man: |
Oh. So that's how it is. |
That's how you wanted it, Stark. You want to stand around and watch the world die, that's your business, but you don't get to make that decision for the rest of us. | Ms. Marvel: File:Ms. Marvel Icon.png |
Repeat[]
Iron Man: |
Call me stubborn, but when the fate of the world is at stake I just keep coming back. |
Lose[]
You're on the wrong side, Tony. Time to wake up. | Ms. Marvel: File:Ms. Marvel Icon.png |

Agent Coulson: |
The High Evolutionary has the device almost ready. Everyone, gather on Utopia. We need to be ready in case there's a last-minute attack. |
Mission Complete[]
Tony Stark: |
The High Evolutionary has his machine ready to go. |
High Evolutionary: File:High Evolutionary Icon 1.png |
Shall I trigger the device and end this civil war? |
Tony Stark: |
By all means. |
Hank Pym: |
Observing...wait a minute. |
Ah! Yes! My true project can be revealed at last! | High Evolutionary: |
Black Panther: |
Terrigen powers are intact. Completely unaffected. But... |
Tony Stark: |
This was a DNA signal. The High Evolutionary has turned the entire planet into a gene lab. |
Hank Pym: |
My god, people are being transformed... |
Agent Coulson: |
I wonder what...wh... |
Agent Coulson: |

Mission 1-3 Reset[]
Mission 4 Unlocked[]
Mission 4[]
Mission Start[]
Maria Hill: |
Agent, you must be having a bit of deja vu here, being back in the Savage Land for the third time. |
Agent Coulson: |
It's a good thing we were able to use you to stay in touch and keep things from getting to far out of hand. |
Maria Hill: |
We've been able to convince most of the partisans on both sides that your information means we have to avoid fighting each other and focus on the real source of the problem. |
Agent Coulson: |
But neither Stark nor Danvers are listening. |
Maria Hill: |
You have to get Danvers and Stark back on the same page. Blue Marvel and Thor will help. If you can't make them see reason... |
Blue Marvel: |
You don't need us to spell it out. |
Thor (Jane Foster): |
I will spell it out. If we do not find a way to unite, we will all die divided. You have seen this. You must ensure it does not happen. |
Deploy 1[]
Screen Text[]
We're seeing Test Subjects in the area. That's a pretty strong hint that the High Evolutionary is nearby. Sweep them up and see if they're coherent enough to lead us to his lab.
Deploy 2[]
Screen Text[]
We're seeing a couple of Ultron drones at the edge of our operational area. Not sure where they came from, but Beta Ray Bill is close by. Send him over ro neutralize them.
Start[]
Agent Coulson: |
Bill. |
Beta Ray Bill: |
I stand ready, Agent Coulson. What would you have me do? |
Agent Coulson: |
Take out a couple of Ultron units we spotted in your patrol area. |
Complete[]
Beta Ray Bill: |
It is done. Where did they come from? |
Agent Coulson: |
We don't know. Pym's theory is they might have leaked through the disruptions in the timestream. The important thing is they're out of commision. |

Iso-Saurs have cornered a field team looking for an old HYDRA base that might be one of the High Evolutionary's hideouts. Jessica Jones is in the area. Send her to help.

Send a tactitian around to make sure everyone knows what the Agent experienced in the potential futures. We need to make sure the rest of our assets are on speaking terms again.

Blue Marvel: |
There's Danvers. She's got Captain America and Black Bolt with her. |
Thor (Jane Foster): |
We have to make them see reason. |
Blue Marvel: |
That might involve fighting. |
Thor (Jane Foster): |
We will do what we must. |
Start[]
Adam. I thought you were on our side. | Ms. Marvel: File:Ms. Marvel Icon.png |

The Agent convinced me otherwise. Now that we have eyewitness testimony from both futures, we know we both had it wrong. |
No. I don't believe that. | Ms. Marvel: File:Ms. Marvel Icon.png |

You're lying to us. We're not going to sit around and let the world end. | Ms. Marvel: File:Ms. Marvel Icon.png |

Captain America: |
Carol. Maybe they're right. |
Ms. Marvel: |
Et tu, Steve? |
Thor (Jane Foster): |
Listen to him, Captain Marvel. Listen to all of us. Listen to the Agent. We understand more than we did before. There's only one way to survive this, and that's together. |
Mini-Boss: Iron Man[]
Reveal[]
Blue Marvel: |
Okay. Here's Stark, T'Challa, and Pepper Potts. |
Thor (Jane Foster): |
I know them to be...quite headstrong. Perhaps I should say knew. |
Blue Marvel: |
The same is true here. But we have to get them to listen somehow. |
Start[]
Thor. Is that what I should call you, really? Doesn't matter, I guess. I thought you were on our side. | Iron Man: |
Thor (Jane Foster): |
I take only the side of survival. The Agent has seen what happens if each of you get your way. Either path leads to an ending. You must listen. |
Um, no. I musn't. | Iron Man: |
Repeat[]
Lose[]
The die is cast. We cannot turn back now. | Black Panther: |
Complete[]
Blue Marvel: |
Now will you listen? |
Iron Man: |
Agent, you and I have been through a lot together. You better not be steering us out of the frying pan and into the proverbial fire. |
Black Panther: |
What the Agent says makes sense. Both courses have unintended consequences. We have to steer between certainties. |
Blue Marvel: |
Now you're talking. |
Boss: High Evolutionary[]
Reveal[]
Ms. Marvel: |
So it was the High Evolutionary after all. He must have been playing us both. According to the Agent, in both timelines he is at the center of what happens. |
Iron Man: |
We were both right. In different ways. |
Ms. Marvel: |
Is that your way of admitting you were wrong without really having to admit it? |
Iron Man: |
Maybe we should fight bad guys instead of talking. Starting with one Herbie Wyndham. |
Start[]
Iron Man: |
Wyndham. |
Stark. Danvers. There. We have completed our recitation of surnames. | High Evolutionary: |
Iron Man: |
This whole thing was centered on your work to begin with. If I didn't know better, I'd think you coordinated it with Maximus. |
Dear God, no. He's insane. What are you talking about? | High Evolutionary: |
Ms. Marvel: |
It was the other way around, Tony. Maximus found him a useful distraction. |
How dare you. I am the greatest -- | High Evolutionary: |
Ms. Marvel: |
Shut up. |
In-fight[]
What is all this raving about Maximus? Why will you not leave me in peace to do my work? | High Evolutionary: |
Repeat[]
Lose[]
I am going to transform the future of the human race! | High Evolutionary: |
Complete[]
Iron Man: |
I guess we should have been working together before now. |
Ms. Marvel: |
Yeah. Looks that way. Maybe both of us need to spend a little less effort on winning, and more on figuring out the truth. |
Iron Man: |
Oh well. Here I thought we were sharing a moment and you had to get all ethical.. |
Ethical!? Look at my lab! You call this ethics...? | High Evolutionary: |
Epic Boss: Maximus the Mad[]
Reveal[]
Medusa: |
Do not doubt that. There is a Profiler. We can sense that presence. But only Maximus has been able to... |
Thor (Jane Foster): |
Twist the Profiler's words to suit his own ends? |
Medusa: |
So it would seem. We need to find the Profiler, and to do that we must force Maximus' hand. He is here in the Savage Land. |
Thor (Jane Foster): |
Everything we've been through--including what I saw in my own time--that's because of him? |
Blue Marvel: |
That's what it looks like. |
Thor (Jane Foster): |
Then he has much to answer for...and answer for it he will. |
Start[]
Blue Marvel: |
Maximus. Is there even a Profiler? |
Thor (Jane Foster): |
Agent, didn't you?... |
Blue Marvel: |
Yeah. I heard it too. Did Kang get to you, Maximus? |
In-fight[]
Repeat[]
Lose[]
Now the future is mine to realize...to create! To bend and cut and polish how I will! | Maximus the Mad: |
Complete[]
Thor (Jane Foster): |
Have we won? |
Blue Marvel: |
What would it mean to win? |
Tony Stark: |
That the future exists, to start with. |
Thor (Jane Foster): |
Then I guess we did win. |
Tony Stark: |
I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop. |
Blue Marvel: |
That's what it's like to live with an uncertain future. |
Mission Complete[]
Ms. Marvel: |
We were right. We had to act. |
Black Panther: |
We need to be very careful in how we choose to act on any prediction. That's the only lesson I see here. |
Doctor Doom: |
And that is why even you, T'Challa, a man of great intellect, are incapable of seeing the truth we have learned. |
Ms. Marvel: |
I'm sure you'll enlighten us. |
Thor (Jane Foster): |
I will stay. Ultron destroyed my future. I can't return. But this world, this future...it remains worth fighting for. |
Agent Coulson: |
So, we have two Thors? |
Tony Stark: |
Well, technically. Sort of. But she's from three months in the future, so they're...oh, never mind. Every time I explain time travel I sound crazy. |
