The third issue of Ant-Man's Avengers team in Marvel;Re and the third part of the "Stellify" arc.

Synopsis
When the Kree and Skrulls land on the moon that the Avengers were exploring, they're caught in the middle of yet another battle of the long-standing rivals.

Plot (unfinished)
We open where the last issue left off, with the Skrull and Kree getting ready to attack each other. Commander Torak's son, M'win's eyes begin glowing brightly while the champion of Kree Queen Wane-Van, Mar-Adon, unsheathes a large axe. M'win and Mar-Adon charge towards each other. Mar-Adon raises his axe and attempts to bring it down on M'Win, but M'Win raises his arm, which glows white with raw power and manages to block it. The sheer force of the axe hitting his empowered arm is enough to create a blindingly bright light that can be seen by the Avengers scattered across the moon. The specific Avenger we pick up with is Ant-Man, who stares in terror at the light in the distance. Ant-Man grabs Stella's arm and starts running towards the light with her. We then pick up with Wasp, Vision, and Spider-Woman. The before mentioned giant white explosion erupts in the distance. Once again cutting away, we see She-Hulk and Hercules standing on top of a nearby hill, already watching the explosion of light. Hercules, missing certain parts of his armor, walks up to She-Hulk. Back with the battle, the Skrull and Kree armies have collided with each other and many are already dead. Right in the center of the battle stands M'win and Mar-Adon, each strike they make against each other creating a smaller burst of white light. Mar-Adon attempts to sweep his axe at M'win's head but M'win grabs the axe before he can. The two grip on to the axe, each trying to grab it from the other. Mar-Adon doesn't answer. M'win's eyes light up and another bright burst of energy fills the area. When the light dies down, Mar-Adon is lying on the ground, covering a part of his helmet which has broken off. Mar-Adon looks up and sees M'win walking towards him, carrying Mar-Adon's axe. Once again, Mar-Adon says nothing. He simply stands up, still covering the broken part of his helmet, and reaches out his hand. Wires and metallic liquid begins seeping out of his palm and slowly forming another axe. Mar-Adon's old axe turns to dust in M'win's hand. M'win and Mar-Adon stare each other down. Slowly but surely, Mar-Adon removes his hand from his helmet, revealing a massive hole in his head. Wires spring out of the hole and it begins auto-repairing itself, as does his helmet. M'win's father, Commander Torak Lok-Spawn stares at this in pure horror. Kree Queen Wane-Van grins. Mar-Adon punches M'win mid-sentence, sending him flying. While M'win attempts to get up, Mar-Adon rushes up to him and steps on him. Mar-Adon repeatedly kicks him while he's down until M'win doesn't have enough strength to get back up. Mar-Adon then raises his axe and brings it down on M'win. M'win closes his eyes, embracing the inevitable. However, death doesn't come for him. Surprised, M'win opens his eyes and looks up, revealing Vision is holding Mar-Adon's axe, stopping him from killing M'win. M'win appears slightly surprised at this but quickly changes back to his usual enraged expression. He grabs Mar-Adon's leg with both hands, which begin glowing. Bursts of light erupt from his hands, completely destroying Mar-Adon's leg and allowing M'win to get back up. Vision then lets go of Mar-Adon's axe, causing Mar-Adon to drop to the ground due to his missing leg. M'win raises a glowing hand and attempts to take Mar-Adon's head but Vision once again intervenes, grabbing M'win's hand. M'win grits his teeth. M'win raises his other hand an attempt to decapitate Vision. Luckily, Vision is saved by Spider-Woman, who kicks M'win in the stomach. Wasp then comes in, jumping on M'win's head and slamming him to the ground. Mar-Adon stands up, his leg regenerated, and takes a swing at Wasp. Luckily, she's saved by Vision, whose head is cut off by Mar-Adon. Vision's head lands next to Spider-Woman, who picks him up. Mar-Adon charges for Spider-Woman and tries to cut her but she manages to jump out of the way, his axe slamming into the ground hard enough to create a massive crack in the floor. Meanwhile, Wasp turns and sees M'win slowly getting back up. Wasp turns to Spider-Woman. Spider-Woman continues dodging Mar-Adon while Wasp runs over to M'win and fires some blasts in his face. Wasp doesn't answer his question and just keeps zapping him until he gets angry enough to try and attack her. She quickly shrinks down and starts flying around and zapping him. Meanwhile, Spider-Woman continues dodging Mar-Adon's axe, still carrying Vision's head while doing so. Moments after saying this, Spider-Woman is grabbed from behind by a Kree soldier. She drops Vision's head and the Kree kicks her hard in the back, causing her to drop to her knees. The Kree keeps his foot on her back and pulls her arms behind her head in an incredibly uncomfortable position. Wasp turns to Spider-Woman, only to be grabbed by M'win and tossed to the ground. Mar-Adon begins approaching Spider-Woman and raises his axe, ready to bring it down. Spider-Woman winces, ready for her own demise. Luckily, Mar-Adon is blasted by a massive yellow laser that causes him to miss Spider-Woman and blows a chunk of his head off. Mar-Adon turns and sees Vision's head on the ground, his eyes smoking from blasting Mar-Adon. Vision simply smiles at him. Mar-Adon's head slowly starts repairing and he looks at both Spider-Woman and Vision, trying to choose which to go after. He eventually makes his choice and starts approaching Vision. Mar-Adon raises his foot and gets ready to crush Vision's head. Mar-Adon turns and has a massive hole punched in his chest by Hercules. Mar-Adon drops to the ground and Hercules picks Vision's head up. Hercules points Vision towards Spider-Woman, who is standing back up and waving at him. Behind her is She-Hulk, who is holding a very panicky Kree soldier. Vision says nothing.
 * Narrator: The Skrull are a race of shape-shifting aliens whose home planet has become so overpopulated that they've set out to conquer other worlds to continue populating their race. The Kree are a race of technolically-advanced blue-skinned warriors and experimenters that managed to create an artificial intelligence so smart it rivaled gods.
 * Narrator: They have been enemies for so long and have had so many battles and encounters with each other. But this... this is it...
 * Narrator: This is the day of the final war of the Kree and Skrull...
 * Stella: Judging by the look on your face, I'm guessing you don't know what that is either?
 * Ant-Man: No... but I'm about to find out... Let's go!
 * Stella: Wha-- hey!!
 * Stella: You know, I heard that you humans have a phrase of warning that goes along the lines of "don't go towards the light!"
 * Ant-Man: Oh, come one! You're not at least a little curious about what that thing is?
 * Stella: No! Why're you?!
 * Ant-Man: I'm a scientist! I'm curious about everything!
 * Spider-Woman: SKRULLS!?
 * Vision: And Kree.
 * Spider-Woman: I can't believe there are Skrulls and Kree on this moon! How did they get here!?
 * Vision: My guess is that they most likely flew.
 * Spider-Woman: But why are they here!? This place is--
 * Spider-Woman: ...You think that's related to the Skrulls and Kree?
 * Wasp: Is that a real question...?
 * Spider-Woman: Okay, Jesus, no need to be a jerk about it...
 * She-Hulk: Holy crap...
 * Hercules: So are we, uh... are we not doing this anymore?
 * She-Hulk: If I'm being honest, I wasn't completely sure how we'd do it anyway since I'm in a spacesuit so it's probably for the best.
 * Hercules: Crap.
 * M'win: You're more than likely wondering where these bursts of light are coming from, aren't you...?
 * M'win: It's quite simple, really. I was a member of the Super-Skrull program. My mutated genes granted me the ability of photokinesis! I am able to bend light to my very well!
 * M'win: I am also able to superheat light and turn it into a burningly bright weapon.
 * M'win: If my attack landed properly, I'm fairly certain I just burned your eye out!
 * M'win: What the...!?
 * M'win: Huh!?
 * Commander Torak: He's a cyborg...
 * Queen Wane-Van: Impressed, Skrull scum!? I can't blame you!
 * M'win: Hypocrite! You said you never experimented on your own kind!
 * Queen Wane-Van: I didn't! Mar-Adon is not a Kree. If anything, he's a faux Kree. Born in a lab and fertilized in a womb built of technology! He is the perfect soldier! No mind to corrupt or will to break! Not to mention, thanks to the miracle of Kree machinery, he is able to regenerate even lost limbs within minutes!
 * Commander Torak: That's madness!
 * Queen Wane-Van: Is it? I believe it's fair. You have an army of Super-Skrulls. Why shouldn't I be allowed to have at least one Super-Kree...?
 * M'win: Either way, it doesn't matter! The Skrulls are--
 * Commander Torak: No!!
 * Vision: I suggest you start trying to get up from below his foot, as his axe has already cut slightly into my fingers and I doubt I'll be able to hold him for much longer.
 * M'win: Impeccable. My first combat outing and I've already taken my first life. The gods will surely smile upon me for this!
 * M'win: W-what?! What is the meaning of this, droid!?
 * Vision: While I'm fairly positive that this Kree will be able to regenerate its lost head, I cannot risk it. One of my priorities as an Avenger is to protect life wherever it may be. I apologize for the inconvenience.
 * M'win: Bah! And here I was thinking you may actually have been a strong warrior!
 * Spider-Woman: See? I told you so. My gut told me this guy would also be bad news and I was right!
 * Vision: Apologies for not believing you, Spider-Woman.
 * Wasp: Alright, now all we have to do is hold this fight off for as long as possible while the others show up. Now that their two heavy-hitters are down, it should be eas--
 * Spider-Woman: I thought that blue chick said that he'd take minutes to regenerate! that was half a minute at least!
 * Vision: It seems that even the Queen herself isn't fully aware of her own soldier's strength.
 * Wasp: Crap...
 * Wasp: Hey, Webs! How much longer can you dodge his axe!?
 * Spider-Woman: Webs...?
 * Wasp: Just answer me!
 * Spider-Woman: It seems like he doesn't have super speed so his swing's pretty slow! I'll probably be able to dodge for a bit longer!
 * Wasp: Awesome! You do that while I distract the Super Skrull! We probably can't beat these two by ourselves but we can probably put off fighting them until back-up arrives!
 * Spider-Woman: Got it!
 * M'win: Gah! What!? Who're you?!
 * Spider-Woman: Man, this guy's meant to be the Kree's heavy-hitter? Look at how slow he is!
 * Vision: Spider-Woman. I'm currently just a head and that may affect my judgement so take this with a grain of salt, but I have a very bad feeling right now.
 * Spider-Woman: Nah, don't worry, Viz! I've got this under control!
 * Spider-Woman: Nng! What the hell?!
 * Vision: It was a trick!
 * Spider-Woman: Huh?
 * Vision: He knew he isn't fast enough to hit you so he made you walk directly into the battle where you'd be grabbed and more easily killed!
 * Spider-Woman: Wa... huh... JANET!!
 * Wasp: Huh?
 * Vision: Good afternoon.
 * Vision: Oh? Me? Go ahead. I'm a robot. I'll be rebuilt after you destroy me.
 * ???: Hey!
 * Hercules: We're not late to the party, are we?
 * Vision: On the contrary, the battle has only just begun. Also, I notice you said "we"?
 * Vision: It's very good that she's safe but Wasp is also in danger.
 * Hercules: No worries. Point to the guy we've got to punch!
 * Hercules: Okay, "point" probably wasn't the best thing to say. I guess, uh... look in his general direction?
