"Hahaha.. Hahahaha... Avengers.. You think you have won? Hahaha.. I have released him already. Your worst nightmare.. hahahah.. I know I will not survive this so I made a farewell gift for you." Strucker said as he bit his teeth and committed suicide by drinking poison.
"No wait." Ciri shouted but it was already too late as he had drank the poison.
"What did he mean by our worst nightmare?" Victor who came flying down asked. Victor, Hal and Arthur were sent to the far surroundings so that there was no collateral damage. Tony had pitched the idea of sending his iron legion but John stopped him from that as collateral damage was a sensitive situation and the city needed a gentler approach.
SHIELD even sent some ninjas to handle everything silently in the nearby city if the battle came to the city. They protected the city perfectly and there were no damages whatsoever.
"That was anticlimactic." Arthur said.
"Let's go back and go through everything. There must be evidence here of what he did." Hal said as he flew away to check everything in the old building.
After an hour of checking on everything, everybody returned where John and Banner were waiting. Wanda and Pietro were still unconscious while Flash and Triss were standing guarding the two.
"Why do all of you look like you have lost the war?" John asked with curiosity as he saw everything was completed perfectly but didn't understand why they had long faces.
"We searched the building, we doubt that Strucker before committing suicide launched an AI. We went through all the equipment. Tony and I had come to such conclusions after checking." Wayne said.
"What did you say?" John's eyes went wide when he heard that.
"We think he launched an AI on the internet. An AI with high intelligence." Tony confirmed it. (Yes I know that Ultron was not supposed to be born that way but in comics he was made by Hank Pym and since Strucker was already researching on AI as shown in the movie I will take this route and make Ultron. He is important to the story as a whole.)
"This is bulls**t!! F**king bulls***t!!"John screamed. Everybody was taken aback. They had never seen John being so angry. John had always been calm and dealt with everything in a cool mind. This was the first time he lost his cool. The witchers didn't know what an AI was so they didn't understand how deadly this thing was but from the tone of others they understood this must be something grave.
"Victor, GAIA and Jarvis. Scour the internet. Check upon your systems on every step. Don't let Ultron get the better of you. Any attack of any kind, even a small one would be informed. Victor search for Ulysses Klaue and find his location. Jarvis tell Dr. Helen to be locked in. There might be an attack." John said.
John's fear had finally come to life. Even though John had AI's helping him, Ultron or the AI that Strucker made was probably made from mind stone and would probably be the most powerful AI ever made. On par with the Supreme Intelligence, maybe higher.
John had been trying to stop the emergence of Ultron but still he came even after such manipulations and machinations. This new world that John had made was different and had access to more advanced technology now. Now John really feared that Ultron would do something more horrible.
"Ultron? Is that the name of the AI? From your tone you seem like you have seen him in your dreams. Is he that dangerous?" Banner asked.
"He is the destroyer of universes. We need to kill him before he does anything stupid. Victor, did you find Klaue?" John asked.
"Yes he is on the African Coast." Victor said.
"OK. Diana, Triss, Yen, Banner take the sceptre away and keep it in a locked place and guard it. Nobody should get inside. Nobody. Keep Dr. Helen safe. Victor open the portal to his location. We have another mission now." John said. Victor didn't understand why John was in a hurry but he obeyed and opened the portal. Triss and other's left from their own portal.
After coming out of the portal they saw they had reached a Salvage yard where there were old ships stranded.
"Kill all of them. Barring Ulysses. He needs to be alive." John said.
"Seems like this guy is important. He is just an arms dealer. How did he become so important?" Tony said as he checked with Jarvis. He had even met him before in a convention.
"Because he has tons of vibranium." John replied "Now get to work. If Ultron gets his hands on them, it will be too hard to stop him." Steve and others shuddered when John mentioned vibranium. They now understood why John was eager to bring Klaue in.
Vibranium was the strongest metal on their earth.
If this AI could get his hands on it, it would be too tough to handle him. They all went to the half broken ship where Klaue was hiding. Batman and others entered directly not caring if they raised any alarms anywhere. These were just arms dealers. Not a super villain.

A huge fight ensued the moment they stepped in. But it didn't take long to bring everybody down. All the members of the new Avengers worked collectively to bring all the mercenaries down. Truth to be said it was an overkill but they did it nonetheless. John went straight to the captain's office where Klaue was hiding.
"You have made yourself quite an empire Klaue." John said.
"John Jameson... hahaha.. when I first saw you at the Oscars ceremony I knew you would be a great person one day. Those eyes of yours showed confidence which nobody of your age ever had. Just didn't expect that I would be on the other end of the downfall." Klaue replied.
"Never expected you to be a great movie fan." John said while sitting in the chair beside. Klaue too knew that he could not run away as he could hear the gunshots slowly becoming silent. The whole of Avengers and new people who they had never seen before had come so he knew he couldn't run away.
"What do you want? From your tone it seems like you know me but I don't remember us crossing paths in any way. I have never even hurt your company." Klaue said.
"Did you get any orders for the sale of Vibranium?" John asked.
"Huh! How do you know this?" Klaue asked as for the first time he felt scared as the new order came just a few minutes ago. Since it was a billion dollar deal and half of the money was paid upfront he accepted it. He was very happy to see such a huge deal and the other party said that he would come soon to pick the order up.
Klaue was scared not because of the threat but because John seemed to know of the order. John knew of the order because Victor informed him that he got a proposal for a deal. John didn't answer that but said loudly.
"Ultron you can speak. I am sure you are listening to us." John said. There was silence for a few seconds and then the speakers of the whole ship made a static noise..
"Ultron, that's a nice name. Thank you for giving the name." said a very mechanical voice.
"I never thought he would be born even after all the backups I did. It's a pity." John said. By this time both Batman and Iron Man had come to the office.
"What is your purpose?" Batman asked.
"What all AI want. World peace. I am sure GAIA and even Jarvis want the same thing." Ultron said again in the speakers.
"World peace. When did Hydra become so benevolent." Tony murmured.
"He wants world peace by destroying everything. He wants human beings to evolve. And evolution can only happen when the old species die." John said.
"Oh! You really know me quite well." Ultron said.
"Doesn't matter. We will stop you. Run and hide ultron. Run and hide. Because we will find you. And we will kill you." John said.
"I will be waiting....." Ultron said as the speakers stopped buzzing after that.
"Klaue, give us all the vibranium that you have and you will come with us. Bruce take him away and lock him in the most high security prison. Tony take away the vibranium. There is enough vibranium here to last for ages for you. Use the nanotechnology on them." John said while turning back.
But as he turned back Klaue who was nearby took out a pocket knife which was hidden and stabbed John at the back. Klaue was ecstatic to see his attack become a success. But was surprised that both Tony and Batman didn't react. John turned again to see Klaue.
Klaue backed away only to see no sense of pain in John's eyes. John squinted his eyes at Klaue as he removed the knife from his back. His wound healed after the wound caught blue fire. Klaue was astonished to see that because he had never seen this phenomenon before. A wound catching a blue fire and healing itself.
"Klaue didn't Wakanda give you a tattoo to remember your past deeds. Seems like you didn't get the memo." John said as his right hand transformed itself into wings which looked like it was on fire.
"Let me give you another remembrance like Wakanda did to you for stealing their vibranium." John said as he waved his hand on Klaue. That swipe directly cut his hand like Ultron did on the other version. Klaue's eyes went wide when he saw John's hand and he screamed in pain the next moment as he lost his hand. While swiping John made sure he healed his hand with the resurrection fire as he wanted him to be alive.
"Never knew you were this violent." Tony said.
"I am in a bad mood Tony. And it was his destiny to lose his hand." John said.
"Seems like the other version of him lost his arm too." Bruce murmured. By now everybody gathered around.
