Prologue
Earth-616
Storm would be soaring in the sky above the Jean Grey school of higher learning. A new school day was starting and the headmistress was surveying the lands to see that everything was running smoothly. Suddenly she would feel the shifting in the winds before she vanished in a bright light.
Earth-9811
”Avengers assemble! Let's take this Sentinel down. On my right! Go, go!” In the battle ravaged city of New York the self crowned Avengers would be in the middle of liberating a safehouse for mutants against a Sentinel attack.
The one shouting directions was their leader Sarah Rogers, or if code names are concerned than Crusader. On her right arm the shield of her father, Captain America. In her left hand Mjolnir was spinning in her grasp. With a toss the hammer would find its mark and smash a giant hole in the abdomen of the Sentinel before it exploded. The celebration was short lived however as much like Storm, Crusader would as well vanish in a bright light, leaving her team mates mystified about where there leader might have disappeared to.
Unknown
As their senses returned, the two women would find themselves some place new entierly. Storm would spot Crusader by the corner of her eye and cause a small thunder storm to emerge as she herself went to the air. ”Are you behind this?”
”Mrs Munroe! It's me! Sarah!” Crusader cried out.
Storm would notice the hammer by the girls side and the shield on her arm. While still cautious the thunder storm would relent ever so slightly. “You know my name but you have me at a disadvantage.”
Crusader would look confused at Storm. It was her friend Kendall's mother all right, but she looked so young... “I...I'm Sarah Rogers. The Crusader. My father is Steve Rogers and my mother is Rogue, Carol Danvers. I know your daughter, Kendall Logan.”
Kendall...Logan...? The thunder would subside and Storm would land back on the ground. “It would appear that we need to talk.”
Both sides would then recount their stories. Crusader about how after Reed Richards, Galactus and the Beyonder had perished on Battleworld and so left the heroes and villains stranded there to forge a new life for themselves to put an end to the violence. Then how Dr Doom's son would have tried to take over Battleworld and how he was stopped and finally how the new generation of heroes would have returned to their Earth to find it being ravaged by the Sentinels.
Storm in turn would explain how in her reality Reed and the two celestial beings would have survived and they were all sent back home and how life had gone on as it should have.
“...I am sorry to hear about Mr Logan.” Crusader finally replied as both had told their tale.
Storm would smile a sad smile at Crusader. “Thank you, but now with our stories told I believe there are more pressing matters to be had. The most important one being, where we are.”
Crusader would shrug. “I have no clue.” Before they could continue any further however they would keel over due to a splitting pain in the head. Images of death and destruction, multiversal war and in the center of it all a magnificent demon of unknown origin. As the pain subsided but before they could process it further the sky above them would turn black and ominous as another portal would emerge and suck them in dropping them in a post-apocalyptic city, and it seemed like they weren't alone.
“By the Goddess...” Storm mumbled softly to herself as she got up on shaky legs. “Stay close, Crusader. We were brought together for a reason. It was no coincidence that we received that mental image before arriving in this desolate place.”
Crusader would nod as she clutched Mjolnir tight and inspected the area around her. “My God...this place. What happened here...”
“Evil happened here.” Storm stated grimly. “And I will see to it that who or whatever did this will be brought to justice.”
