Could there be, a black hole, created from a star millions of solar masses. This black whole would be near another star of equal mass, after time a second black hole that would meet up with the first. Could the gravational force of such a meeting pull in more and more black holes and nutron stars to the point where the universe would colapse on those. Thus a big crunch, but not from the mass of the universe being large enough?

No. The force of gravity behaves according to the inverse square law. If you increase your distance from a massive object by a factor of 2, the gravitaional force you experience from the object decreases by a factor of 4. (F=1/d^2)
So, it doesn't matter how huge your super black hole (SBH) is... The universe is so vastly large, the SBH will only gravitationally capture a small portion of the material around it. It would have no effect on material or space-time that is millions of light-years away.

No, a black hole with the mass of a hundred billion suns has no more gravity that a cluster of a hundred billion regular suns. The Milky Way galaxy has a hundred billion suns and it is neither collapsing in on itself nor pulling the rest of the universe into it. The only thing special about a black hole is its small size and high density. At large distances its gravity behaves just like any normal star or galaxy.

it may pull a wholde galaxy together but each galaxy is so far from each other i dont know if it can pull another galxy to it
