Zombies

But things take a strange turn where Iron Man, Doctor Strange and Wong come to save Bruce, only thing being that they are Zombies now.

Rescue

Origins

Its then revealed that the zombie virus originated when Hank Pym went to rescue Janet van Dyne in the Quantum Realm. He brings back the virus with him after being infected by Janet and then the entire west coast is affected. Things kick into full throttle when the Avengers get there to control the situation, but the Earth’s Mightiest Heroes are no match for what happens after.

The Cure

Our remaining ragtag group of heroes get a distress signal from a survivor camp that there is a cure in development. This becomes the pillar of our story and the group sets out to find it. What if…?

Hope is Lost

A Vision of Hope

At the base they are greeted by Vision who tells them that the mind stone is acting as catalyst for the zombies to not attack the base. Over here it’s also revealed that Scott Lang is alive too, but with only his head surviving.

Baba Yaga

Bucky then starts exploring the base where he finds a limped T’Challa, and an imprisoned undead Wanda Maximoff. Bucky confronts Vision who then reveals that he has been keeping the survivors so that he can keep Wanda fed. Wanda then breaks free and kills off Okoye, Bucky and Kurt. Vision perishes off when he hands over the Mind Stone to Peter Parker.

The Escape

After the zombies surrounding our heroes and Wanda still at large, the remaining survivors make a break for the hanger with a Quinjet in it. In an effort to buy more time, Banner turns himself into the Hulk and battles the zombies and Wanda so that our group can escape.

A Not so Happy Ending

After the survivors are successful in escaping, they chart a course for Wakanda where they can experiment on Mind Stone and find a cure. Only its then revealed that they have a zombified Thanos waiting for them at the other side with a five stone Infinity Gauntlet.
