• Rolark caught up to the Darkness Lord and punched him; after Rolark's light aura disappeared, the Darkness Lord fought back and exchanged countless blows with him.

Rolark overwhelmed the Darkness Lord, but their fusion ended before he could pursue, leaving the Darkness Lord to flee into the dimensions. Rolark’s light-infused attack devastated the Darkness Dimension, which was then swallowed by an even larger dark dimension.

The Dark Dimension devoured the wounded Darkness Dimension and learned that Tarak was preparing for darkness to descend. Back on Earth, Kara and Diana began practicing the fusion dance used by Robet and Clark.

• The Dark Dimension consumed the Darkness Dimension after Rolark's Ki Blast left it too damaged to resist.

• The Earth Dimension Consciousness returned everyone to their homes, healed their injuries, and withdrew to recover after witnessing Rolark's power.
• Kara and Diana reviewed Robet and Clark's fusion dance and decided to try fusing themselves, despite worrying they might not be able to separate.

After returning from the battle with the Darkness Lord, Robet and Clark explained their fusion and its power, while the Avengers prepared for future dimensional threats. Robet then tried to help Diana and Kara perform the fusion dance, but they still could not fuse.

• Diana and Kara failed to fuse in the Training Room because Metamoran Fusion only worked through a rule inside Robet's body.
• Robet and Clark returned after their fusion had driven the Darkness Lord away, and Robet called their fused form Super Saiyan.
• Kara checked that Robet was unharmed, while Tony Stark asked about the fusion's power and restrictions.
• Tony Stark warned the Avengers to prepare for future invasions, and Reed Richards joined Morbius's group to study their powers.
• Robet took Diana and Kara to Diana's training base, where they performed the dance but still failed to fuse.

Robet discovered that he could fuse with Kara and Diana, though Kara and Diana could not fuse with each other. After the families returned to Savage Island, Kara and Robet came home safely, and the two families began preparing to welcome the New Year.

• Kara persuaded Robet to try Metamoran Fusion with her, and they became Kabet, who overpowered Diana in a sparring match before the fusion ended.
• Robet fused with Diana to become Daibet, who defeated Kara even without using Diana's divine equipment.
• Diana and Kara tried to fuse twice, once with Robet's ki, but both attempts failed, so Robet healed them and accepted that he could serve as a backup fusion partner.
• Robet and Kara left Diana's place to return to their family for the New Year, while Diana resolved to improve her strength and keep pace with Kara.
• Clark and Lana Lang brought their family, Kong, and the tyrannosaurus rex back to Savage Island, where Martha worried about Kara and Robet's absence.
• Robet and Kara returned safely to Savage Island, reassuring their families as they resumed their New Year preparations.

Malekith awakened the surviving Dark Elves on Svartalfheim and prepared to use the approaching alignment of the Nine Realms to reclaim the Aether and plunge the universe into darkness. On Earth, Steve spent the New Year holiday with Peggy Carter and Bucky Barnes, while Bucky reflected on the limits of his and Steve’s strength.

• Malekith explained the Dark Elves’ defeat and resolved to use the Aether, also known as the Reality Stone, to restore the universe to darkness.
• Malekith ordered Kurse to awaken the surviving Dark Elves before the Nine Realms aligned.
• Malekith asked for a volunteer to become a Kursed, and Algrim stepped forward to wield the final Aether fragment.
• Steve, Peggy Carter, and Bucky Barnes spent the holiday together in London, and Peggy asked Steve to take a walk with her.
• After Steve and Peggy left, Bucky washed the dishes and considered how little room he and Steve had left to improve their strength.

Peggy Carter and a boy named Brian vanished into a spatial distortion while searching for a soccer ball, and Steve disappeared after jumping in to find them. The Avengers gathered at the pit, and Robet prepared to investigate after failing to detect anything abnormal.

• Peggy Carter spotted a soccer ball repeatedly emerging from a pit and vanished into it while trying to save Brian.
• Steve rushed to the pit after hearing Peggy Carter call for him, then jumped in when he could not see her or Brian return.
• Tony Stark summoned the Avengers and sent armor into the pit, but it disappeared and lost contact; Jarvis identified the distortion as unlike known portals or the Space Stone.
• Bucky Barnes tried to enter the pit, but Tony Stark restrained him and persuaded him to wait for help.
• Robet and Kara arrived, found no detectable energy or clear view through the distortion, and Robet decided to investigate the pit himself.

Steve rescued unconscious Peggy Carter and Brian from a desolate planet, and Robet brought them back to Avengers Base, where the Avengers discovered the Reality Stone was consuming their life force. Baron Mordo’s attempt to expel it worsened the danger, but Robet’s Healing Spell began restoring them even as the Stone continued its assault.

• Steve carried Peggy Carter and Brian across the desolate planet while searching for a way back to Earth, until Robet found them and sensed a dangerous energy consuming their life force.
• Robet took Steve, Peggy Carter, and Brian through distorted space to the abandoned building, and Baron Mordo then teleported them to Avengers Base.
• Baron Mordo identified the dark-red substance inside Peggy Carter and Brian as the Aether, or Reality Stone, and his expulsion spell caused it to split into more fragments and further drain their life force.
• Robet used Healing Spell to replenish Peggy Carter and Brian as the Reality Stone continued attacking them, restoring their appearances and leaving Peggy seemingly younger.

Robet fought the Reality Stone as it invaded Peggy Carter and Brian, then Lorna and Susan Storm, leaving fragments in their bodies that greatly enhanced their powers. The Stone vanished, while Malekith sensed its activity in Svartalfheim and vowed to reclaim it; Susan and Lorna awakened with overwhelming Telekinesis.

• Robet combined ki with the Healing Spell to save Peggy Carter and Brian, and the Reality Stone left fragments in them before attacking Robet.
• The Reality Stone bypassed Robet's Telekinesis, so he used a Ki Barrier; it then split apart and entered Lorna and Susan Storm, causing them to lose consciousness.
• Robet sent the Avengers away, and the Reality Stone merged fragments into Lorna and Susan Storm, sharply increasing their ki and Telekinesis before its energy vanished.
• Robet suspected the Reality Stone's power was connected to Telekinesis, while Malekith sensed the Aether's activity and vowed the Dark Elves would take it back.
• Susan Storm's Telekinesis crushed the medical room's objects, and Lorna's power disintegrated them into fine powder as both women floated in the air.

Lorna and Susan Storm gained immense power from the Reality Stone, while Robet warned the Avengers about its dangers. As the Nine Realms converged over London, the Avengers went to help with the crisis, unaware that Malekith’s Dark Elves were heading for their base to reclaim the Aether.

• Lorna and Susan Storm accidentally destroyed the medical room’s sickbeds while testing their amplified Telekinesis, then headed to the Training Room to learn control.
• Lorna blasted Pietro away when he approached, prompting the Avengers to keep their distance while she and Susan Storm practiced.
• Robet warned the Avengers that the Reality Stone consumed life force and could be dangerous, and the team stopped wishing to use it.
• Jarvis reported that spatial distortions were spreading across London, and Robet sent part of the team there while Steve, the Vampires, and the Werewolves guarded the base.
• Malekith’s Dark Elves brought their stealth warship to Earth and headed toward Avengers Base while the Avengers were away, intent on reclaiming the Aether.

Susan Storm hid Avengers Base from Malekith’s Dark Elves, who attacked with heavy weapons and artificial black holes while searching for the Reality Stone. Robet and the returning Avengers disabled the warships’ weapons, but Malekith sent Algrim to confront Robet as the Dark Elves prepared to destroy their ships rather than retreat.

• While Robet and his allies searched the Nine Realms for missing Earthlings, Susan Storm sensed an invisible force approaching Avengers Base and concealed the entire base.
• Malekith realized the Reality Stone was still near the base and ordered the Dark Elf warships to attack, but Susan’s invisibility protected the buildings and people despite damage to the surrounding ground.
• Lorna prepared to help defend the base as the Dark Elves used black-hole weapons, and Robet, Kara, Hulk, and the other returning Avengers arrived through a Portal.
• Baron Mordo identified the attackers as Dark Elves seeking the Reality Stone, and Robet’s Ki Blasts sliced the warships’ weapon systems before one ship swallowed itself with its own black-hole technology.
• Malekith ordered the Dark Elves to cloak and prepare the warships to self-destruct if they could not seize the Aether, then sent Algrim to fight Robet.

Algrim overwhelmed Hulk and initially gained the upper hand against Robet, while Kara, Lorna, and Susan Storm pressed Malekith and the Dark Elves. Hidden Dark Dimension agents intervened by empowering Kurse, who raised the corpses of fallen Dark Elves as Malekith demanded to know what he was doing.

• Algrim knocked Hulk aside twice, then charged Robet, who welcomed the chance to test his strength against him.
• Kara, Lorna, Susan Storm, Vampire, and Werewolf Knight joined the battle as the Avengers Base revealed itself, while Steve and Bucky Barnes stayed inside.

• Kara battered Malekith, while Lorna dismantled the Dark Elves’ Black Hole Grenades and helped keep the Avengers’ side from being overwhelmed.
• Tarak and his companions watched from hiding, then Tarak sent a dark aura to empower Kurse instead of entering the fight himself.
• Kurse sent Werewolf Knight flying and caused the dead Dark Elves’ bodies to stir, prompting Malekith to shout at him.

Kurse used the Reality Stone to spread darkness across Earth, then passed it to Malekith to complete the Dark Elves’ wish for universal darkness. Malekith began to enact his vision, but a Destructo Disc severed his arm and interrupted him.

• Kurse empowered himself with the surrounding darkness and attacked Lorna, who blasted part of his body apart with Telekinesis.
• Kurse recovered and used the Reality Stone hidden inside Lorna to overcome her and Susan Storm’s Telekinesis.
• Kurse wished for darkness to cover the universe, and the Reality Stone spread darkness across the entire Earth as Kurse’s life ran out.
• Kurse sent the Reality Stone to Malekith, who praised Kurse and began manifesting his vision of a dark universe.
• A Destructo Disc cut off Malekith’s arm and disrupted his control of the Reality Stone.

Malekith’s darkness empowered the Dark Elves and plunged Earth into a global crisis, while Robet fought to keep him from reclaiming the Reality Stone. Baron Mordo took Lorna and the Stone to Kamar-Taj, where the students extracted it and began considering who would wield it to restore Earth.

• Malekith’s power surged in the darkness, and his blast sent Kara, Susan Storm, and Lorna flying as Clark raced around Earth to rescue people endangered by the loss of all light.
• Robet used Destructo Discs and Ki Blasts to keep Malekith from reaching the Reality Stone, while Lorna took the Stone into her body and Supergirl was told to kite Algrim.
• Robet sent Baron Mordo and Lorna through a Portal to Kamar-Taj to draw out the Stone and use it to dispel Earth’s darkness.
• At Kamar-Taj, Baron Mordo explained the crisis to Kaecilius and Doom, and the students used magic to bring the Reality Stone out of Lorna.
• Baron Mordo asked the students to channel magic into a wielder who could use the Stone to restore Earth, but they hesitated, each tempted by the chance to gain something from it.

Lorna took the Reality Stone as a new Dark Dimension began pressing against Earth, while Robet and Malekith learned that Tarak and the Shadowkhan had been behind the darkness. The Earth Dimension resisted the invasion, and Robet recognized Tarak as an old enemy as the two sides faced off.

• Lorna offered to control the Reality Stone, and Wong, Kaecilius, and Baron Mordo supported her as the Kamar-Taj Students handed it to her.
• Tarak, General Kabo, and General Manny celebrated their plan as the Dark Dimension began pressing against Earth.
• Doom warned Robet that the Dark Dimension was descending, and Malekith withdrew while Algrim continued struggling against Kara.
• Tarak and the Shadowkhan revealed themselves, and the Earth Dimension resisted the Dark Dimension's attempt to merge Earth into itself.
• Robet recognized the Shadowkhan and told Tarak that he had killed their Masks before, except for the blue Ikka.

Robet and Kara used Solar Flare to strip away the darkness empowering Tarak and the Dark Elves, but a surge from the Dark Dimension saved Tarak and the others from Robet’s planned killing blow. At Kamar-Taj, Lorna chose to use the Reality Stone herself to erase the darkness, despite the danger of its backlash, and her hair began turning white.

• Robet defeated General Kabo, but Tarak, General Manny, and General Zola joined the fight and Tarak’s combat skills, Telekinesis, and intangibility repeatedly injured Robet.
• Tarak pierced Robet with dark energy, but his arm became trapped as Robet paralyzed him and Kara and Robet unleashed Solar Flare to disperse the darkness.
• With the darkness’s enhancement diminished, Robet’s explosion reduced Tarak and the other Generals to wreckage, but dark power from the Dark Dimension restored them and strengthened their connection to it.
• An unfamiliar voice at Kamar-Taj urged the students to use the Reality Stone to erase the darkness, and Lorna decided to wield it herself despite Baron Mordo’s warning.
• Lorna activated the Reality Stone, which became dark-red liquid in her hand as her hair began turning white.

Wanda restored Lorna’s life force as Robet’s battle against Tarak and the Dark Dimension’s forces resumed with both sides strengthened. Robet and his allies remained under pressure, but Susan Storm vanished to evade Malekith and Hulk struck from Robet’s directions, leaving Malekith hit by an unseen attack.

• Wanda secretly replenished the Reality Stone’s power and restored Lorna’s life force and strength.
• The Dark Dimension healed Tarak, General Manny, and the others and increased their power, undoing Robet’s advantage.
• Robet attacked General Manny and the others with light-infused Ki Blasts, but Tarak and Malekith joined the fight and forced him onto the defensive.
• Malekith ordered Algrim to attack, but Kara held Algrim back; Susan Storm then joined Robet and helped restrain their opponents.
• Tarak sent Malekith after Susan Storm while he baited Robet, and Malekith shattered her Telekinetic Barrier with a killing attack.
• Robet directed Hulk to strike toward Malekith, Susan Storm vanished just before Malekith’s blow landed, and Malekith was hit by a heavy unseen attack.

Hulk and Malekith fought brutally while Susan Storm aided Robet against Tarak and his generals. Lorna restored Earth’s daylight, cutting off the Dark Dimension’s support, and Robet killed General Kabo as the battle turned against Tarak’s side.

• Malekith insulted Hulk, provoking him into a rage, and Susan Storm’s telekinetic strike sent Malekith into Hulk, who tore him in two.
• Malekith fought back with both halves of his body and wounded Hulk, while Susan Storm left their close-quarters battle to assist Robet against Tarak.
• Robet used Tarak’s distraction to focus his attack on General Kabo, whose shadow form was about to be restored by the Dark Dimension.
• Earth’s darkness vanished after Lorna succeeded, and the Earth Dimension Consciousness erased the Dark Dimension power descending on General Kabo.
• Robet destroyed General Kabo with Ki Blasts, leaving Tarak and his forces shaken as the Dark Elves lost the strength the darkness had granted them.

Robet and his allies finished defeating the Dark Elves and confronted Tarak after the Dark Dimension abandoned its invasion. Tarak fled with General Manny and General Razo, but Clark and Lorna helped trap them in the Mirror Dimension, where Tarak faced the people pursuing him.
