Protectors: Extinction

Protectors: Extinction is an epic superhero film directed by Steven Spielberg and written by my friend John O'Neill. It is the 6th installment of The Smash Studios Cinematic Universe.

Plot:

On the planet Genisys, the mad titan Extinction frees himself from captivity and slaughters the entirety of the Elder Warriors. He then frees his old team The Galactic Purgers ( Vengeance, Ant-Lioness, Fenrir, Purgatory, Azhul, Death, Xihuitl, Gargoyle, Blood Wraith, SuperCano, Vorken & Angel Of Death ) and they steal The Cosmic Eye. Extinction then sets course for Earth to greet his old friend Doppleganger.

When Extinction arrives on Earth, he destroys the corpse of Destruction 2.0., who was killed while fighting Cyberspace, the leader of the superhero team Deathstorm, who then teams up with his former enemy Günter and they fight Extinction. After an intense fight, Extinction sends both Cyberspace & Günter hurling towards Earth. Günter saves Cyberspace and they both vow to stop Extinction.

1 week earlier, the superhero team Protectors ( Raptor, Thunderbird, Tank, Ghost, Man-Wolf, Tiger, Wolfbane, Samurai, Parkour, 1-Shot, Captain Boom, Pink Lightning, Van Helsing, Fear & Agent ) train their newest member Skullface. They all then go to an annual memorial of other heroes who have died. Agent W. arrives and informs the Protectors that they must save the world from the forces of evil that is coming.

The Protectors join forces with the superhero teams Doomforce ( Dawn-Thief, Minotaur, Captain Sword, Switchblade, High-5, Fist-Bump, Platinum, Arrow, Evets & Gunslinger ), Strange Squad ( Ravenger Rhino, Blacksmith, Mr. Universe, Timeline, Captain Llamacho & Jellyfish ), Marines ( Great-White, Hellray, Siren, Lipleuroden, Emperor Penguin & Bullshark ) & Warriors ( Morpheus, Minarok, Novo, Triphook, Slicer, Rogue, Megammo, Monk, Hercules, Omnipotent, Hermes & Poseidon ). They then prepare to go to the planet Komaria. While Minarok goes to meditate, he decides to warn everyone about Extinction. When he comes back, he discovers that everyone has left and that Extinction had arrived and has killed most of the heroes. Extinction then steals The Shadow Eye.

Meanwhile the superhero team Deathstorm ( Cyberspace, Captain Plasma, Hybrid, Impact, Gigabyte, Titan, Claw, Wreckfest, Roadkill, Talon, Goliath Beetle, Anubis, Simian, Purple Phantom, Lightspeed, Darkmist, Doomsword, Firewall, Captain Jetpack, Cuboid, Bronze Crowbar & Buzzwing ) has joined forces with the mercenary team The Venom Brotherhood ( Vampire Cat, Dart, Warhead, Queen Komodo, Blood Falcon, Burnace, Liger, Blood-Rage, Bullet Ant, Doomkill, Gunter, King Cobra, Poison & Bear-Trap ). They are all ambushed by an army of villains ( Creeper, Armageddon, Demon, Hydrobomb, Blood Lightning, Snowstorm, Anti-God & Thunderbolt ). The superhero Dark Marvel arrives and they all journey through Righteous City after an intense fight.

Cyberspace is seriously injured in the process and wakes up in a medical bay with his allies by his side. Günter then introduces him to the team The Darkflamewatch ( Epic, Steampunk, Black Tiger, Patriot 1, Lone Wolf, Deathwalker, Power X, & Plasmo ). Cyberspace also meets Ant-Lioness, a member of The Galactic Purgers and Extinction's granddaughter, who wants to rebel against him. She then explains Extinction's plan. In order to fight the upcoming threat, everyone decides to work together to build a portal to the Explorer's universe and Captain Plasma, Cyberspace's teammate and girlfriend, discovers that she's pregnant with his child.

In space, Deathstorm & The Venom Brotherhood meet The Protectors and their allies and they make a plan to go to the planet Ancientopia in order to protect The Quantum Eye before Extinction arrives. But Extinction arrives first and an epic fight ensues. Extinction steals The Quantum Eye, unleashes his army on Earth and escapes. The superheroes then hurry to Earth.

On Earth, The heroes are fighting The Galactic Purgers. They are then brainwashed to fight each other. The mercenary team The Saviours ( Liberator, Purple Bullet, Green Dragon, Judge & Jury, Calvary, Bear-Zurker, R.E.X., Wyvern, Razorback, Primal, Dr. Frost & Vulcano ) then arrive and an epic fight ensues.

After their battle, everyone then decides to plan their next move. Blacksmith makes Cyberspace a powerful weapon in order to kill Extinction. The heroes are then greeted by The Explorers ( Chase McCaine, Amy Matthews, Alan Matthews, Gordon Turnley, Graverobber, Logan Denholm, Dan Quinten, Boz'tcha, Billy Bates, Johnny Brown, Bob Pratt, Trax, Janice Smith, Roxanne Oakley, Nitrox & Solus ), Secret Protectors ( Black Mamba, Rook, Titanium Gauntlet, Chimera & Hellhound, ), Monsters ( Werepire, Fang, Mothman, Loch Ness, Sasquatch, Frankenstein's Monster & M.E.D.U.S.A. ), Cyborgs ( Matter, Tengu, Gordy & Samou ), Elementals ( Water, Sand, Inferno, Wind, Earth & Life ), Street Fighters ( Black Bandit, Nightwatcher, Photosensisys, Jawbreaker, Cage, Bad-Ass & Molecule ) and other allies ( Agents W. & 0, Malware, Serpent, Frightmare, Hellbound, Gignanto, Corrin, Jet, Omegasaurus, Squidominator & Sunblast ). They then all come up with a plan to defeat Extinction once and for all. The heroes split into 5 teams before going their separate ways:

Team 1 will defend Earth and it's cities.

Team 2 will go to Komaria.

Team 3 will remain in space.

Tem 4 will be Cyberspace's army.

& Team 5 will go to Righteous City.

Deathstorm, Doomforce & Cyborgs are hurrying to Earth until their ambushed by Extinction's army. More heroes are killed in the process. Angered, everyone decides to pursue Extinction.

On Hope Coast, Extinction congratulates his team for defeating the heroes and sees The Crystal Eye being extorted. Everyone then arrives for an epic showdown with Extinction. After an intense fight, Extinction grabs The Crystal Eye and wipes out everyone except for Lightspeed and Chase. They then decide to go back in time to a few months ago to warn everyone about Extinction.

Lightspeed & Chase warn everyone about Extinction. Lightspeed explains that Extinction was created by the Elder Warriors, but they slaughtered his family and he vowed revenge. Everyone then trains hard for the fight of their lives.

Back in the present, the main events have changed and everyone who died is brought back to life.

On Hope Coast, all the heroes have been defeated by Extinction, who begins to morph Gensiys into another dimension. He kills ¾ of the heroes, which enrages Cyberspace and he fights Extinction alone.

Due to their fight, Cyberspace & Extinction are stuck in a wormhole and they talk about the philosophy of the universe. This causes Cyberspace to let go of everything and he and Extinction fight. Extinction then escapes and Cyberspace is rescued by Dark Marvel.

When Cyberspace wakes up, he discovers that few heroes & villains have survived and that Dark Marvel is missing in space. While The Protectors hold mass funerals for everyone who died, Cyberspace tells Captain Plasma that he's going to find Extinction to exact revenge on him and promotes her as the new leader of Deathstorm. Before leaving, Captain Plasma tells Cyberspace that she's pregnant and encourages him to go, saying that the others will be fine and that they'll all be there in the end. Cyberspace ( now called The Legendary Outlaw ), sets out with Günter & Steampunk to find Extinction to avenge their fallen allies.

In a mid-credits scene, Extinction is now the emperor of Gensiys after the battle on Hope Coast. Doppleganger asks if he should break Trillion out of prison. Extinction refuses, saying that everything is going according to plan.
