T.A.O after her death
_Ancient One watching from the Realm of Death_
Christine: Are you okay?
Dr Strange: I don’t understand what’s happening.
Christine: I know. But I have to go right now.
Dr. Strange: You said that losing my hands didn’t have to be the end, that it could be a beginning.
Christine: Yeah. Because there are other ways to save lives.
Dr. Strange:A harder way.
Christine: A weirder way.
Dr. Palmer, the ER, please.
Dr. Palmer, the ER.
Dr. Strange: I don’t want to let you go.
Stop.
...
_Hong Kong_
Wong: Choose your weapon wisely. No one steps foot in this Sanctum. No one. Kaecilius.
Kaecilius: You’re on the wrong side of history, Wong.
...
Dr. Strange: She’s dead.
Mordo: You were right. She wasn’t who I thought she was.
Dr. Strange: She was complicated.
Mordo: Complicated? The Dark Dimension is volatile, dangerous. What if it overtook her? She taught us it was forbidden, while she drew on its power to steal centuries of life.
_T.A.O thoughts: [If Dormammu was capable of overtaking me, it would have happened about 640-660 years ago]
Dr. Strange: She did what she thought was right.
Mordo: The bill comes due. Don’t you see? Her transgressions led the zealots to Dormammu. Kaecilius was her fault. And here we are, in the consequence of her deception: a world on fire.
Dr. Strange: Mordo, London Sanctum has fallen, and New York has been attacked. Twice. You know where they’re going next. Hong Kong. You told me once to fight as if my life depended on it, because one day, it might. Well, today is that day. I can not defeat them alone.
Mordo: The Sanctum has already fallen. The Dark Dimension. Dormammu is coming. It’s too late. Nothing can stop him.
Dr. Strange: Not necessarily.
Zealots and Kaecilius: No.
Dr. Strange: Spells working. We got a second chance.
Zealots and Kaecilius: No!
Dr. Strange: Wong! I’m breaking the laws of nature, I know.
Wong: Well, don’t stop now.
Wong: When the Sanctum is restored, they will attack again. We have to defend it. Come on! Get up, Strange. Get up and fight! We will finish this.
Kaecilius: You can’t fight the inevitable. Isn’t it beautiful? A world beyond time. Beyond death.
Dr. Strange: Beyond time…
Wong and Mordo: Strange!
Kaecilius: He’s gone. Stephen Strange has left to surrender to his power.
_Strange explores the realm._
_He activates a time spell to prepare himself._
Dr. Strange: Dormammu! I’ve come to bargain.
Dormammu: You’ve come to die. Your world is now my world, like all worlds.
Dr. Strange: Dormammu! I’ve come to bargain.
Dormammu: You’ve come to die. Your world is now my world... What is this? Illusion?
Dr. Strange: No, this is real.
Dormammu: Good.
Dr. Strange: Dormammu! I’ve come to bargain.
Dormammu: You… what is happening?
Dr. Strange: Just as you gave Kaecilius powers from your dimension, I’ve brought a little power from mine. This is time: endless looped time.
Dormammu: You dare!
Dr. Strange: Dormammu! I’ve come to bargain.
Dormammu: You cannot do this forever.
Dr. Strange: Actually, I can. This is how things are now: you and me, trapped in this moment, endlessly.
Dormammu: Then you will spend eternity dying.
Dr. Strange: Yeah. But everyone on Earth will live.
Dormammu: But you will suffer.
Dr. Strange: Pain is an old friend. Dormammu! I’ve come to bargain.
Dormammu: End this!
Dr. Strange: Dormammu!… Dormammu!… Dormammu!… (in a time loop)
_T.A.O thoughts while watching Dr. Strange in the loop: Wow, he still hasn't finished the fight?
Dormammu: You will never win.
Dr. Strange: No…But I can lose...again, and again, and again, and again, forever.
Dr. Strange: And that makes you my prisoner.
Dormammu: No...
_He kills Strange for the 1000th time, but as predicted, the loop is still in effect._
Dormammu: STOP! MAKE THIS STOP!!!!
Dormammu: SET ME FREE!
Dr. Strange: No. I’ve come to bargain.
Dormammu:...what do you want?
Dr. Strange: Take your zealots from the Earth, end your assault on my world, never come back. Do it, and I’ll break the loop.
_Meanwhile, in the Death Realm_
T.A.O: Ahhhhhhh, so this is exactly how he “defeated” Dormammu, very creative!
_*Lady Death watching along with Ancient One*: Yeah, vey “entertaining”. Seriously, not so many people can pull out this move.
Wong: Get up, Strange. Get up and fight! We will finish this.
Kaecilius: Isn’t it beautiful? A world beyond time. Beyond death.
...
Kaecilius: What have you done?
Dr. Strange: I made a bargain.
Kaecilius: What is this?
_Kaecilius and Zealots turning into Mindless Ones_
_In the Death Realm *again*_
_*Lady Death watching along with Ancient One*: Ughhhhhhhhh, now there are some bodies out of my reach. I HATE THIS.
Dr. Strange: Well, it’s, uh…it’s everything you ever wanted: eternal life as part of the One. You’re not going to like it. I think he really should have stolen the whole book, because the warnings… the warnings come after the spells.
_*Wong suddenly bursts into laughter*.
Wong: Oh, that’s funny. We did it.
Dr. Strange: Yes. Yes, we did it.
Mordo: By also violating the natural laws.
Look around you. It’s over.
Mordo: You still think there will be no consequences, Strange? No price to pay? We broke our rules, just like her. The bill comes due. Always. A reckoning. I will follow this path no longer.
_In the Death Realm *part 3*_
_Lady Death mocking T.A.O: He’s screwing you up~
_*T.A.O being completely silent*
Dr. Strange: Yeah, it’s okay.
Wong: Wise choice. You’ll wear the Eye of Agamotto once you’ve mastered its powers. Until then, best not to walk the streets wearing an Infinity Stone.
Dr. Strange: A what?
Wong: You might have a gift for the mystic arts, but you still have much to learn. Word of T.A.O’s death will spread through the Multiverse. Earth has no Sorcerer Supreme to defend it. We must be ready.
Dr. Strange: We’ll be ready.
