Avengers: Forces from the Infinity

Avengers: Chronicles of the Infinity is a five-part animated short film series based on Marvel Comics. It serves as an alternate story for Avengers: Infinity War. The short series follows the Avengers, who were torn apart after their battle with Ultron and the Civil War between Steve Rogers and Tony Stark’s factions, banding together again after the government leaders have the fugitive heroes pardoned of their accusations and the Sokovian Accords shut down. The reassembled heroes then team up with the Guardians of the Galaxy to stop the threat of Thanos, who longs to collect the Infinity Stones to inflict his will in all universe. At the same time, Stark’s young protege Peter Parker continues balancing his high school life with being Spider-Man as he forms a new close bond with Kamala Khan, a new girl in Midtown who manifested amazing powers of her own and longs for the same purpose Peter stands for.

Part 1
In Knowhere, Taneleer Tivan the Collector is enjoying his collection until he overhears news about Thanos attacking Xandar to collect the Orb (which contains the Power Stone, one of the six Infinity Stones). Fearful that the Mad Titan may come after him next, Tivan takes the Reality Stone (which was housed on the Aether, which Asgardians Sif and Volstagg entrusted him to keep safe) and hides it into a meteor rock composed of Terrigen Mist which he sends away into the cosmos to keep it safe from Thanos’ eyes. The city is then attacked by a Chitauri fleet which was sent by Thanos to retrieve the Stone. Tivan is captured by the Chitauri and held a prisoner in the Sanctuary II, but the meteor rock (which is invisible for even Thanos) is safely sent as far away as possible from Knowhere. The rock falls on Earth and, after crashing near a neighborhood of Queens, the rock releases a mysterious cloud which spreads across the city. One of the citizens - a young girl named Kamala Khan - is affected by the cloud and enveloped by a liquid cocoon. Next day, as he investigates the place the meteor crashed, Peter Parker, who was at the time studying a mysterious mystic tablet he and his aunt May found in a nearby cave, encounters the Stone (which is still intact even with the crash) and, seeing it as “the Key”, connects it with the Tablet, causing a Reality reaction which spreads across the Globe. Feeling sure of the power which is too great to be controlled, Peter takes the Tablet (with the Stone now permanently sealed in it) back to the cave where it was found, suddenly unlocking visions of unknown worlds and a large mystic portal to other realities and dimensions. Meanwhile, Kamala breaks out of the cocoon as her eyes suddenly ignite with energy, indicating that she is manifesting new powers.

Part 2
While swinging around New York and protecting citizens as Spider-Man, Peter overhears that the Government agents had pardoned the fugitive heroes led by Steve Rogers during the Civil War between them and Tony Stark's faction and voted to discontinue the Sokovian Accords protocol. He also sees Rogers and Stark renewing their friendship (which was broken apart by Helmut Zemo to completely fracture the team) and publicly announcing the reassembling of the Avengers (now joined by T’Challa / Black Panther, Doctor Stephen Strange and a pardoned Bucky Barnes as White Wolf). Along the way, Peter meets Kamala, who had started to learn how to control her newly discovered powers, and, after some exchanged banters, they bond. Elsewhere, on the Grandmaster’s stolen Sakaarian vessel the Statesman, Thor continues travelling with his comrades (Hulk, Valkyrie, Heimdall and Korg) and the remaining people of Asgard (which was destroyed by Surtur during the prophesied Ragnarok) as he continues having plans about the new kingdom on Earth before they are met by the Guardians of the Galaxy, who come to warn him of Thanos. The crew is attacked by Thanos and his forces, who arrive to collect the Space Stone within the Tesseract (which was retrieved by Loki before awakening Surtur in Asgard). Just then, Thanos forcibly retreats when his attempts against Thor’s people are foiled by a seemingly unreasonable malfunction within the Gauntlet and the Power Stone. As Thanos flees with his forces, Gamora is the only one who acknowledges the Stone’s malfunction and, sensing something suspecious, deduces the cause: the bond between a human and a Inhuman.

Part 3
Decades ago, Thanos and his followers once tried to obliterate the people of Attilan (the homeland of the Inhumans) with the power of one of the Infinity Stones in the first Gauntlet until the bond between a human and a Inhuman (who had the Power Stone in their hands) destabilized and destroyed the Gauntlet and repelled Thanos from Attilan. In Present day, while transporting the surviving Asgardians and Xandarians to Earth, Thor, Hulk and the Guardians are met with the Avengers and Doctor Strange, and the heroes begin discussing about a way to stop Thanos’ plans. Back on Earth, while Kamala puts her powers into a test, Peter works with his friend Ned to create a stabilizer using Stark Technology which will allow Kamala’s clothing to adapt to her powers. Right after she finishes practicing, Peter presents Kamala the stabilizer, which she intends to use to craft for herself her own superhero costume and shows a very compassionate gratitude for Peter. Mantis works to sense something within the Tesseract at the same time Thanos tortures Tivan in his ship for the Reality Stone’s location. Suddenly, they both sense the Human/Inhuman bond coming from Earth. While Stark and Mantis search for the human and the Inhuman, Thanos has Ebony Maw prepare the troopers to battle on Earth and sends Proxima Midnight, Corvus Glaive and Cull Obsidian to retrieve the Time Stone, find the source of the Gauntlet’s malfunction and destroy it.

Part 4
In New York, Kamala joins Peter’s crime-fighting spree as Ms. Marvel (a moniker she adopted from her childhood heroine and inspiration Carol Danvers / Captain Marvel). The two resume to fight crime as they progressively bond further. Stark and Mantis fly around the city and spot Peter with Kamala, whom Mantis senses as the Inhuman whose bond with Peter is slowly destabilizing Thanos’ control over the Infinity Gauntlet. Strange confirms this after finding Kamala's cocoon, which is composed of Terrigen Mist, the source of the Inhumans' powers. Right before the two can tell them anything about it, however, they are alerted of Obsidian, who is attacking the neighborhood near the Sanctum Sanctorum to retrieve the Time Stone from Doctor Strange while Peter and Kamala answer a cry for help by Michelle “MJ” Jones, who tells them that aliens are attacking school. They head to the Midtown School of Science and Technology, where Midnight and Claive are searching for “the source” to destroy it. After a long fight to protect their endangered classmates and teachers, Peter and Kamala are aided by Rogers, Danvers (who had retired from her crime-fighting activities as Captain Marvel until the Accords were discontinued) and Vision, who is then targeted by the three at once. Right after the three are defeated and vanquished, the Avengers head to Wakanda with Peter and Kamala, where they prepare for the great battle which comes by. Maw, having prepared Thanos’ army, sends them to attack Wakanda as Thanos feels confident that he will find the Stones on Earth one way or another.

Part 5
While the others prepare for war, Thor, Danvers, Rocket and Groot travel to Nidavellir, where Eitri helps them forge a new weapon which will aid them in defeating Thanos. Back in Wakanda, as the others prepare for battle, Kamala inspects the Tesseract and suddenly has a vision of the people of Attilan (including their king Black Bolt, who reveals to her her nature as an Inhuman) and their past with Thanos. Parker, Wanda, Rogers and Stark also have that same vision as Stark is convinced of the great hope Kamala and her bond with Parker impose against Thanos’ threat. Maw and a Chitauri crew ambush Thor's group until they are killed by Danvers and Rocket and Eitri and Groot complete Thor's new hammer Stormbreaker. The Avengers and the Guardians (aided by the surviving members of the Nova Corps, Thor's allies from Asgard (Valkyrie, Heimdall and Korg) and the Wakandan forces of the Dora Milaje, the Jabari Tribe and the Border Tribe) mount a defense while the Tesseract is used as the core of a secret weapon designed by Shuri. Thor, Danvers, Rocket, and Groot arrive to reinforce the defenders; Midnight, Obsidian, and Glaive are killed and their army is routed. Thanos arrives and Stark, Rogers, Peter Quill, Strange and Hulk hold their own against him. Just as he attempts to use Shuri’s Tesseract-powered weapon against him and fails, Stark has a vision of Black Bolt reminding him that Peter and Kamala’s bond can still destabilize the Gauntlet… and will do it quicker if Thanos possesses more than one Stone in the Gauntlet. With no options left, Stark surrenders the Tesseract to Thanos, who breaks it apart and obtains the Space Stone. As Thor holds his own against the Mad Titan, Peter approaches and comforts a desperate Kamala as they both believe the world they knew is ending. As what they believe to be their last act, the two tearfully profess their love and share a kiss, which strengthens their bond. This causes a greater reaction to the Reality Stone and renders the Gauntlet even more unstable for Thanos, giving Peter and Kamala an opportunity to defeat him and together they destroy the Gantlet and shatter it into pieces, leaving the Mad Titan vulnerable and enabling Thor and Hulk to finish him off once and for all. With Thanos defeated and destroyed, the Space and Power Stones depart to separate ways; the Space Stone forges a new kingdom in the still devastated Sokovia for the surviving Asgardians and Xandarians while the Power Stone departs to Thanos’ ravaged home planet of Titan and begins to restore all life in it. As the world celebrates the Avengers and the Guardians’ ultimate victory, Peter and Kamala visit Titan and watch happily as the Sun rises and life in the planet continues returning, pleased to know there is still hope in the universe.
