"Two simple questions for you two. Why didn't you use the timestoo restore things back? I sehe power of Time Stone and two other infinity stones. And why didn't Wanda use her reality manipution power to ge reality?" I asked calmly.

  "That's two questions," the alternate me sneered. "But I guess I'll answer anyway. You see, it's not like we didn't want to fix things. It's that..." He brought out the Eye of Agamotto, a gem glowing with the light of the Time Stohe A One sealed it before her death. With the stone sealed, her of us could use its power to fix things. And as far as reality manipution goes, Wanda wasn't strong enough so our only choice was the Darkhold," he expined, motioning towards Wanda.

  "But as you see," Corrupt Wanda flew down and nded softly on the ground. "We weren't strong enough to tain its power. We are the most powerful beings on this p, but even we 't trol it fully. So, we did the best thing. Erase all happiness from this world. I mean, why must everyone live happily while we the saviors of this world must suffer? It's unfair," she tinued, her eyes narrowing.

  "And now you're here. After all this time... We finally end you and take your pce!" The alternate me ughed as he cracked his knuckles. "After all, we deserve to live happily too, don't you think?" Then he ched his right fist and the nanites spread over his body f a nanite armor. On his fist lica of the Infinity Gau with two stones. One looked like the Power Stone and the other one was no doubt the Mind Stone.

  "What about the rest of the Infinity Stones?" I asked as I activated my suit. It was the Symbiote Suit that Tony made for me.

  "Gone. All thanks to that bitch. That motherfug A One... ARGGG!!! How dare that bitch throw those precious gems in upper dimensions and seal off the route. I tried, you see... She said rules. I broke her fingers, and arms, ripped out her ears, and gouged out her eyes, yet that bitch refused to tell me the location or uhis piece of shit. In the end, I could only make the gau. Now that you're here... We finally use them," the corrupted Peter expined as he g Wanda.

  "Now let's see how much stronger you two are pared to us," he smirked as he raised his right hand, the two stones glowing ominously.

  "Peter, you deal with yourself, I'll deal with my other self," Wanda said as her crimson energy swirled around her.

  I nodded. "Got it."

  ...

  [3rd Person POV]

  The two Wandas faced each other, their crimson energies crag with a fiertensity that paihe ruined ndscape in shades of red and bck. With a flick of her wrist, the alternate Wanda sneered, flinging a bolt of scarlet energy toward Wanda, who deftly deflected it, sending sparks scattering across the wastend.

  "You 't stop me," the corrupt Wanda growled. "I've embraced the darkness. I am chaos inate."

  Wanda met her gaze with an unwavering calm, though her eyes gleamed with fierce determination. "Then I'll show you how far I'll go to protect what I love."

  Before the corrupted Wanda could respond, Wanda twisted her fingers in a delicate motion, summoning a spell that shifted the space around them. The world began to ripple and bend, and in the instant, they were both pulled into the Mirror Dimension.

  The ground shifted uheir feet as the distorted refles of broken buildings and ed streets expanded endlessly in every dire. Shards of gss floated mid-air, refrag and scattering the crimson hues into ghostly prisms. The corrupted Wanda let out a snarl, her crimson energy wavering for a moment as she steadied herself.

  "Impressive," she sneered, her voice eg through the dimension. "But you think a mere pocket dimension will tain me?"

  Wanda's gaze was fierce as she faced her twisted doppelganger. "It's not meant to tain you. It's meant to end this." She raised her arms, her hands weaving symbols through the air as crimson tendrils formed around her, growing thicker with each gesture.

  The corrupted Wanda didn't hesitate. With a wave of her hand, she jured a massive wave of dark energy, hurtling it toward Wanda. The energy was dewisted with remnants of agic that fizzed and crackled as it crossed the distaween them. Waended her arms and summoned a reflective shield just in time to deflect the wave, the force of the impact sending tremors through the mirrored world.

  The bst ricocheted off the gssy surfaces, fragments of energy swirling in a chaotice around them, f both Wandas to dud weave amidst the onsught.

  The corrupted Wanda snarled, her frustration evident. "You think you're better than me?" she spat, her voice ced with venom. "After everything I've done, after all the sacrifices I made… You still get to live in your perfect world."

  Wanda met her with a steely gaze. "I don't live in a perfect world. Heck, even I wasn't perfect. If not for him, I would been walking the dark path you are walking right now. So, to protect what I have, I'll defeat you."

  With a yell, the corrupted Wanda surged forward, her energy swirling into a vortex around her, creating a barrier of dark magic that ed and twisted the mirrored ndscape as she closed the gap. She threw punch after punch, each strike enhanced by chaos energy that crackled with destructive force. Wanda deflected eae, but the power behind them reverberated through her arms, her muscles straining with the impact.

  She tered with her own burst of scarlet magic, binding the corrupted Wanda's arms in glowing crimson s. But the twisted energy radiating from her doppelganger dissolved the bonds almost instantly.

  "Pathetic," the corrupted Wanda sneered. "You don't uand power." She raised both hands, summoning a twisted double helix of dark energy that pulsed with malevolence, aiming it at Wanda with deadly precision.

  Wanda's gaze hardened. "The me show you what real strength looks like."

  ed her hands together, and a surge of energy radiated from her, expanding outward in waves. The energy ed around the twisted helix, dispersing it into thin strands that disied upon tact. Then, with a andiure, she reached into the very fabric of the Mirror Dimension, twisting it until the ground itself began to shift and morph.

  The space around them torted as Wanda trated her energy, maniputing the Mirror Dimension itself. Shards of the reflective ground shot up, eng the corrupted Wanda in a prison of sharp gss that glowed with a crimson sheen.

  But the corrupted Wanda grinned, her eyes fshing with a sinister glint. "If you think a few mirrors will hold me back, then you're in for a surprise."

  With a powerful scream, she shattered the gss prison, shards flying in every dire like deadly projectiles. Wanda deflected them with a quick motion, redireg the shards back at her oppo. The corrupted Wanda raised a shield, but a few shards broke through, slig across her cheek, leaving trails of dark energy that sizzled against her skin.

  The cut only seemed te her further. Her crimson aura intensified, spilling out in wild tendrils that twisted and cwed at the very fabric of the Mirror Dimension, f cracks to ripple across the reflective surfaces.

  The Mirror Dimension itself seemed to tremble uhe strain of her power. Wanda gritted her teeth and steadied herself, fog her energy on keeping the dimension from shatteriirely. But her corrupted terpart took advantage of the distra, flinging herself at Wanda with ruthless determination.

  They cshed mid-air, a storm of red energy eruptiween them as their agic collided, each trying to overpower the other. For a moment, it was aruggle, but Wanda found herself being pushed back, her oppo's raw, unfocused rage giving her an edge in sheer force.

  Wanda gritted her teeth, refusing to back down. Using the momentum of her oppo against her, she skillfully twisted away. She quickly grabbed the corrupted Wanda's arm and threw her to the ground, where she nded with a loud bang that sent shockwaves through the Mirror Dimension.

  The mirrors shattered, sending waves of shards all over the pce.

  The corrupted Wanda struggled to her feet, her crimson energy flickeriically. Her eyes glowed in rage as she gred at Wanda. She was already drowning in the dark power. "I'll destroy everything you love," she yelled. "And then I'll tear your world apart."

  Wanda's gaze softened, filled with a sorrowful uanding. "You don't have to be this way."

  Her words seemed to cut through the corrupted Wanda's rage, if only for a moment. But then her alternate self screamed like a mad persoing the passion with a sful ugh. "Weakness," she spat, raising her hand to summon the Darkhold. The spellbook hovered before her, pulsing with dark energy.

  "Weakness?" Wanda made an intricate hand sign in the air. A beam of golden light shot from her palm, almost drowning the entire mirror dimension. A golden book appeared as the golden light simmered. It was the Book of the Vishanti that The A One gave her. "Let's see who's truly weak."
