"Are you okay?" a lone clone trooper asked a droid that seemed to be falling apart.

"Yes......

The clone couldn't help but step back slightly.

That voice sounded... a little too human. Not mechanical like most robots.

"Shouldn't you be at the repair center?" the clone asked.

The robot shook his head. "Not now... at this moment.

"Do you need anything?"

"Yes."

It was done in an instant. A huge current shot out from its arms, electrocuting the clone trooper. His mouth was quickly covered by a metal hand to silence him. A moment later, the trooper collapsed into its arms.

Dragging the soldier to a secluded corner that could not be found for the time being, the shaky robot began to move towards its destination.

Once there, the droid encountered two, shockingly only two Clone Commandos standing at the bottom of the staircase entrance leading to the Jedi Temple.

They both turned to face the robot limping towards them and looked at each other.

"Ouch," the one on the left approached the robot. "Who are you--quack!"

In a split second, the droid's injured arm shot out and grabbed the clone's neck, and the other arm transformed into a cannon, shooting and killing another clone.

The droid let out a menacing laugh and nonchalantly began to walk forward, up the steps of the Jedi Temple.

Dangling from the grip of his right arm, the lone clone trooper was now struggling to free himself from the crazed droid's grasp. He tried punching and kicking, but to no avail, and when he went for his blaster he was thrown to the ground, the weapon falling from his body.

The clone was now dazed, but still conscious, as he sensed the droid had walked up the steps and now stood at the entrance to the Jedi Temple.

Soon, the droid has somehow made it to the Jedi Temple, unstopped, but is now met by confused, shocked, and nervous Jedi, who are now trying to stop it from advancing.

They stared at the droid, then at the clone in its hands, many now igniting their lightsabers and glaring at the droid.

"I advise you to put down your troopers," Jedi Master Plo Kun said sternly, brandishing his azure blade.

Next to him is Matt Murdock, who is nervous when facing the robot.

He had already donned his suit and punched in his Avengers ID card, his enhanced hearing already picking up the unmistakable sound of metal wings and thrusters in the distance of the temple.

The droid's head looked around and saw that it was now surrounded by Jedi Knights, with other clones also present.

it is good.

He likes to have a full audience.

"So y'all came here to see me?" the robot voice said in amused tone, taunting the gathered crowd.

"Who are you? Who sent you?" Jedi Master Luminara shouted, swinging her emerald lightsaber in his direction.

"No one sent me here, I just wanted to come, Master Unduli."

After a while, Falcon arrived on the scene with Ant-Man and the Wasp.

"What's wrong?" Sam asked.

"It can't be because of him?" Scott asked.

"Scott, the clone in his hand," Hope said angrily.

"Oh...hey! Let him go! What the hell is going on?!

The robot laughed loudly, the real emotion coming from the metal form making most of the people gathered here uncomfortable.

"Oh, this is wonderful," the robot said cheerfully. "For a thousand years, you have been comfortably seated in the cradle of power. Believing that you and your people were safe, protected. You were all trusted by the Republic. But you were deceived. Did not realize that you were all manipulated by the Dark. Pulled... through a series of programmed commands..."

"Procedure order?"

"Look at these..." the robot said, raising the clone in his hand and strangling him. "These puppets."

There was a sickening sound as the clone's neck was snapped by the robot's hands, and the clone was thrown away like garbage.

“The puppets will turn on their companions with simple commands.

"You're going to pay for this," Sam Wilson said fiercely.

After a moment, the droid tilted its head and walked in the direction Black Widow had come from. Next to her was Anakin Skywalker, his lightsaber ignited.

The robot let out a vicious laugh and Natasha stopped in her tracks.

"Ah~ Natasha Romanoff, it's nice to see you again."

"You know her?"

“She and her friends have a history with me… from their little tower… the coast of Africa… Seoul… Sokovia.

"No..." Natasha's face turned pale and she took a step back in shock. "No, we stopped you. Vision took you out!

"Ah, yes," the robot's demeanor changed. "My vision. What you all took from me in the end.

Although the robot's face was expressionless, its glowing blue eyes had turned blood red.

Outside, a clone shuttle was dropping from the sky at a very fast speed.

"Soon, if you continue to let him play you, the Republic will fall." The robot said, not caring about the incoming ship behind him. "But the better question is, who will fall first?"

A moment later, the ship crashed into the Jedi Temple's doors, screeching to a stop just centimeters from the droid's back.

“You thought I was gone. But now… I’m back.

From the side of the spacecraft, the hatch was blown open and a large number of robots flew out.

Only these are no ordinary robots.

No, these were the robots Natasha was all too familiar with.

These are drones.

A drone that belongs to one person in particular.

"Ultron," Natasha whispered in fear as nearby Jedi, clones, and Avengers rushed into battle.

After a while, explosions were heard in the distance, followed by screams, and every channel of communication was drowned out by cries for help and pain.

"I hope you guys will have fun with the gifts I brought."

In an instant, the possessed robot was shot down, and a firefight quickly broke out in the main hall of the temple.

The drones flew forward, engaging the Jedi and the clones, the Avengers fighting their way through them all to reach the front of the temple.

Anakin joined them and the group stood in front of the Jedi Temple, their eyes widening in horror and disbelief as they saw the burning Coruscant.

Before them, buildings either caught fire, burst into flames, or collapsed completely.

Flying cars and ships of all sizes flew away at top speed, some of which were shot down or swarmed by seemingly endless robots and drones.

In just a few minutes, the capital of the Republic was in chaos.

They even heard communications from the Republic fleet above, what seemed like a ragtag fleet had jumped out of hyperspace, a collection of Republic, Confederacy built starships, now attacking the Planetary Defense Fleet.

"Oh my God," Natasha said in horror. "Oh my God!"

"Natasha, what happened?" Hope asked loudly in shock. "Who is attacking us?!"

"Ultron," Natasha said, still not believing what she was saying now.

"Ultron?" the other Avengers except Matt repeated in shock.

"But I thought you guys had already killed him?!" Scott asked.

"Wait, why is he here?" Anakin asked, he had heard about this Ultron from Steve many times.

"That's a good question," Hope said grimly.

"She's right." Matt said, his Daredevil suit forming around him with his electrified blind stick on top. "Now, we need to get everyone back from the mission right away.

"Don't tell us anymore." Scott performed a roundhouse kick on a nearby drone, pulled out his Avengers ID card, and quickly sent out a distress signal.

This was something he had never imagined.

"Calling all Avengers! Calling all Avengers! We have a huge problem right now. Ant-Man quickly shrunk to avoid the repulsor explosion. "Return to Coruscant, Captain! This is not a drill! I repeat, this is not a drill!"

"Don't think they'll make it to us in time," Hope said in horror, seeing the destruction now happening all over the city.

Pietro and Peter may be on this planet, but Steve and Rhodes are in an entirely different galaxy, near the outer edge of the Milky Way.

Who knew when Cap and War Machine would get here, but for now, they had to make do with the team they had.
