Hey, everybody! I'm finally here with the MACU's version of Crisis on Earth-X!

I've been really excited for this. I loved the crossover when I first saw it, but as time has gone on, I've noticed more and more flaws and things I don't like. I hope to correct those with this story.

I really hope you guys like this one. Also, if you already haven't, go read my Legends-Avengers story in the MACU titled "Hell's Storm is Brewing". If you don't, there will be one or two characters in this story that were introduced in that story that will not make sense.

Let's get to it!

Chapter 1- Earth-X

A series of lightning bolts split the darknened sky, illuminating the red clouds over the city. Among the various skyscrapers, a red blimp bearing the mark of a skull with six tentacles curling out of the bottom patrols among the buildings, many of which also bear that symbol.

On the outer edge of the city, at a warehouse, a number of men are standing guard around the open entrance. As the guards continue their patrols, a single scientist walks out, holding a mug in his hand.

One of the nearby guards turns to him and asks curiously, "Hey, doc. You really think you can make that thing work?'

"We need to make it work if we're ever going to bring hope back to this darkened world," the scientist says seriously.

The scientists looks back up and goes to take a sip of the drink in his mug. However, before he can raise the mug to his lips, an arrow flies seemingly out of nowhere and smashes the mug to pieces before embedding itself in the scientist's chest, who collapses. The guard he had been talking to starts to raise his gun, but is killed by a second arrow.

The guards have no idea what is going on. Three try to run in the direction the arrows came from, hoping to find and attack the hidden archer, but they are cut down by three arrows.

A few yards away, near the base of a watchtower, the archer comes into view, dressed in a black uniform with red lining. A black mask with red eye covers completely obscures his face. He is the archer known as Dark Arrow.

Dark Arrow quickly raises his bow and fires an arrow at a single guard running towards him, killing the man instantly.

Another guard rushes towards Dark Arrow as the archer starts to move forward. Dark Arrow fires an arrow at him. Not enough to kill, but enough to force him to his hands and knees from the pain. Dark Arrow then vaults over the man before engaging three other guards at close range. Dark Arrow easily blocks all their blows, killing each of them very quickly. He then whips around, draws an arrow, and fires it at the man standing at the top of the watchtower, killing him. Dark Arrow then turns and walks towards the entrance to the warehouse as the man's body falls to the ground.

A few feet from the entrance, Dark Arrow suddenly stops, sensing something behind him. A moment later, he calls out, "You're the best they could send?"

Behind him, by the watchtower, a man wearing a suit of armor is staring intently at Dark Arrow as he responds, "Funny. I was gonna say the same thing."

Dark Arrow whips around and fires an arrow at the man, who blocks it with a triangular shield that springs out of an attachment on his wrist. The man cracks his neck, then rushes at Dark Arrow.

Dark Arrow ducks under the man's first kick, and the two begin exchanging blows, primarily with their bow and shield. However, the man quickly finds himself on the defensive.

As Dark Arrow knocks the man back, a circular blur flies in from the side and hits the man in the side of the head, knocking his helmet off, knocking him to the ground, and nearly knocking him unconscious, and revealing his face as that of Jimmy Olsen.

Dark Arrow glances to the side, and sees the blur fly into the hand of a man wearing a green suit, with a golden symbol of skull with tentacles curling out of the bottom. The blur is a shield, with green and white rings and a green center with the skull symbol.

"I guess we know who has the better shield," the new arrival says with a chuckle.

Turning his head away from the new arrival, Dark Arrow steps up to Olsen and slams his foot down on Olsen's shield, pinning it to his chest and making Olsen groan from the pain.

Olsen looks up at Dark Arrow before saying in pain, "There are more like me. And one day, they will free this world."

"That day may come, but you won't be here to see it. That flag died a long time ago," Dark Arrow says, referring to the American flag symbol on his shield and suit.

Olsen seems to grin slightly as he says, "Well, it still means something."

Dark Arrow reaches back, draws an arrow from his quiver, then aims it at Olsen's chest, right where his heart is. "Yeah. It's a bullseye," he says before firing the arrow, and sending it right through Olsen's heart, killing him.

He then turns towards the man with the shield and gets on one knee. "I thank you for your aid, my lord," he says.

"Get up. Enough of that. I've told you, we've known each other for long enough that you don't have to do this," the man says.

"Yes, Militant," Dark Arrow says as he stands up.

The two then stand up and make their way into the warehouse. As they get into the main room of the warehouse, they see a massive platform, with what looks like a pillar of red energy shooting up from it.

Dark Arrow and Militant stop near the platform and look up at the energy. "With this, our reign will last for eternity," Militant says.

And, I'll end the chapter there. Even though it's short, I hope I did a good job with it.

So, as you can tell, this Earth is not ruled by the Nazis, but by HYDRA. Aragorn II Elessar, a great author (check his stories out) and a follower of mine, did the HYDRA ruling Earth-X concept in his version of Crisis on Earth-X. However, I'll be doing this a little differently than he did.

So, for those of you who don't know, Militant is a character from Marvel comics. He's a member of the HYDRA Four, which are pretty much HYDRA's copies of Captain America, Hawkeye, Thor, and Iron Man.

Next chapter will be up soon, and it'll be longer. Until then, follow and favorite this story, leave a review, and stay tuned for more!
