Synopsis
As the time-tossed Avengers battle Immortus’ army, they are given refuge in Kang’s Chronopolis, a city of time. They escape the overwhelming odds in Kang’s time ship at the last second before Chronopolis is destroyed. The city's energies then coalesce into the Forever Crystal, a powerful time artifact.
