Chapter 3 – Avengers Assemble
Republic City, Midgard
There he was, Galactus, the most powerful being in the cosmos. Thor, Korra and their friends were mesmerized at the sight of the World Devourer. The Silver One stood on his silver board, looking at his master. He didn't know how to feel, happy that his master could keep on living and keeping the universe's balance or sad that another race met its end.
"By Odin's Beard…" Thor said, still astonished by the arrival of Galactus.
"Thor what do we do?" Korra asked, sounding kind of desperate.
"I…I don't know." Thor responded.
"There is nothing to do, earthling." The Silver One said. "But to wait for the end."
"You!" Thor yelled. "It is all ye fault!"
"I am merely doing what is best for my master and the universe." The Silver One said.
"No! We will do everything in our power to stop Galactus!" Korra yelled.
"I'm sorry, but that is impossible." The Silver One said looking sad. "Goodbye."
The Silver One flew to his master, to glide beside him.
"We can't…we can't stop him" Thor said, earning everyone's attention. "We can't."
"Of course can, we have to!" Korra yelled at Thor.
"We can't…alone." Thor said, looking at the building's roof where he was standing before.
"What do you mean?" Korra asked.
Thor then turned to look at her. "We need the help of others." He said.
"He's right." A metallic voice said, then out of the sky came gliding down the man known as Iron Man.
"You?" Korra said confused.
"Like I told Thor before, the city needs a team of defenders, now more than ever with that titan's arrival." Iron Man said. "And I would like you, Thor and your friends to be the founding members of such team."
Korra didn't know what to say, then she looked at Thor, he's face was one of acceptance. Then she looked at the sky, Galactus was standing like a statue with the Silver One flying around his head.
"Okay." She said as she shook Iron Man's metallic hand.
Then they all looked at the gigantic space god, they saw that several heroes were attacking his feet. But the devourer did not even took notice to them.
"Any ideas?" Iron Man asked the ones assembled.
"One." Thor said as he kept looking at the giant.
Republic City Hospital
"What are going to find here, in the hospital?" Iron Man asked.
"You are not thinking…." Korra asked Thor.
"Aye, the only being that has made me spill blood without aid from the gods." Thor said.
They walked towards a room; the hospital was almost empty since the arrival of Galactus had scared most away from the building and into their safe rooms.
"He…" Thor said as he pointed to a man who was sleeping in a bed. "The Hulk."
"The Hulk? That beast wouldn't help us!" Korra said.
"It is either that or world destruction." Thor said as he walked towards the sleeping man.
"Wake up, mortal." Thor said as he shook the sleeping man.
"Ah! Who are you!?" The man said scared.
"You art the Hulk?" Thor said.
"You are…the man I…The Hulk fought with this morning." The man said.
"Aye, but now we need the Hulk." Iron Man said behind Thor.
"But…but he will destroy all!" The man said.
"No, he won't, in the contrary he will help in saving this world." Iron Man said.
"What are you talking about?" He asked.
"Look outside." Thor said.
The man looked through his window; he saw that most of the new heroes of Republic City and the police had gathered around…
"By the spirits…"The man said.
"Do you see, we cannot do it alone, we need thee." Thor said.
"But…"The man said.
"But nothing, come." Iron Man said.
Republic City, Midgard
They walked outside the hospital; the streets had people running for their lives. A massive battle was taking place; apparently Galactus had created some type of creatures on the spot to stop the annoying heroes. The Silver One only watched what was unfolding.
"Do it." Thor said.
"I can't…I only transform when I get aggravated." The man said.
"What's your name?" Iron Man said.
"Uhh…my name is Fahuo Braner-Xing, my family comes from the Earth Kingdom." He answered.
"Well Bruce, I am sorry for this." Iron Man said as he delivered a right hook into Fahuo's stomach.
"What are you doing!?" Korra said as she saw Iron Man's armored clad fist strike Bruce's unprotected stomach.
"I am bringing the other guy out." Iron Man said. They all saw how Fahuo fell to the ground; he was beginning to get agitated.
"Come out, Beast of Midgard. Come out, Incredible Hulk." Thor said.
Fahuo transformed into the Incredible Hulk, the monster was very angry. He quickly punched Iron Man out of the way.
"TIN MAN HURT HULK, NOW HULK HURT HAMMER MAN AGAIN!" Hulk yelled as he threw a fist at Thor.
Thor grabbed Hulk's fist with his free hand, then he looked at Hulk. They both were looking at each other, like if they were some kind of eternal rivals.
"Listen, Hulk. We have more important things to worry, look." Thor said as he pointed to Galactus, who was working in some kind of machine.
"If thou don't help us, this world will be destroyed and thee along with it." Thor said.
"NO ONE DESTROY HULK! HULK STRONGEST THERE IS!" Hulk yelled.
"Thou now understand, will thou aid us?" Thor asked the beast.
"Hrr…Hulk help hammer man and pony tail girl, but tell tin man to not punch Hulk again or he will smash tin man." Hulk said in a more calm voice.
"Thank thee, Hulk." Thor said.
"Ouch." Iron Man said as he stood up.
"Are you okay?" Mako said.
"I'll be fine." Iron Man said.
"Mako, Bolin, Asami….I think it's best if you guys head back to the temple." Korra told them.
"But we can't let you and Thor fight this thing alone!" Mako defiantly said.
"Yeah, we are the Avengers!" Bolin said.
"I know…but Galactus is something…" Korra couldn't find the words; she didn't want to insult them.
"You are right; we would just get in the way." Asami said. The brothers agreed too.
"Thanks." Korra said.
"Now go and kick the thing's butt." Mako said.
Thor and Korra smiled, they would stop Galactus even if it costs them their lives.
"Let's go team!" Iron Man said as he took charge. Now the team was complete.
The Invincible Iron Man, The Mighty Thor, The Incredible Hulk and The Astonishing Avatar went to battle.
They arrived where the other heroes were; they all looked at the team that just arrived.
"Well look who decided to show up." Prodigy, one of the new heroes, said as he was wounded.
"It's the cavalry!" Spider-Man, another new hero, yelled with enthusiasm.
"AVENGERS ASSEMBLE!" Thor yelled with his godly voice, and hammer in the air.
The Avengers attacked the Devourer of Worlds.
"What are they trying to do?" The Silver One asked to himself. "They won't accomplish anything."
He watched as The Avengers and the other heroes fought the Punishers, creatures created by Galactus to be used as pawns to take out a planet's defenders.
"Their efforts are fruitless, they won't win." The Silver One said.
The Skyfather's Tower, outside time and space
"Thou now see? My son has rallied the heroes of Earth in an effort to beat Galactus." Odin told the other Skyfathers.
"A noble deed, but how can they defeat Galactus?" Brahma said.
"Indeed, even us assembled cannot hope to bring Galactus down." Fujin said.
"The event is not over, my colleagues. There is much to happen." Odin said.
"Let's hope that you know what you are doing All-Father Odin." Sheeva said.
"Skyfather Odin has always known what to do in the dark days, when the Celestials came to the Earth. Surely his judgment is on the mark now." Skyfather Zeus said.
"We will let the events play out how they are supposed to happen." Odin said as they all once again looked upon the Earth. To see if almighty Galactus could indeed be defeated.
Republic City, Midgard
Thor flew high, to face Galactus face-to-face.
"Galactus!" Thor screamed, to get Galactus's attention. But the Devourer did not pay attention to the God of Thunder. "Listen to the Son of Odin!"
"Thou shall not destroy this world; this world is under the protection of the gods!" Thor yelled at the World Eater, still he did not listen. "Thy dare to ignore me?! HAVE AT THEE!" Thor yelled as he threw Mjonir at Galactus's face.
The strike was heard, someone had delivered a strike at Galactus. The Silver One was astounded; Thor had done something that no other being has dared to do. The mallet returned to Thor's hand.
"WHO IS SO IGNORANT TO FACE GALACTUS?!" Galactus said with a titanic, all-powerful and immense voice, it made the Gods' mighty voices look like those of children.
"IT IS I, THOR GOD OF THUNDER!" Thor responded with his mighty voice which was nothing compared to that of Galactus.
"THEY CALL YOU A GOD…BUT WHAT SHOULD THEY CALL GALACTUS? " Galactus said.
"ABSOLUTE POWER!" Galactus yelled as he grabbed Thor with one hand as if he was a pebble, and began to squish him.
"AGGHH!" Thor screamed in agony. Then Galactus's hand, in which Thor was in, glowed, then he threw Thor away as if he was nothing. Thor fell to the streets below.
"Ughhh…" Thor said as he regained his senses and stood up. "This will be harder than I thought…"
Galactus was still being swarmed by all the heroes and metalbenders.
"What if…what if we can't beat him?" Thor asked himself. "No…we must."
Thor looked at the skies, he closed his eyes and raised his hands to the sky and said:
"Father, look down upon thy son. Bless him for he will most likely perish along with this world against Galactus. Bless him with thy power, the Odinpower!" Thor said, he then opened his eyes and swung his hammer and took the skies and went back to the battle.
"Odinson…do you not see that it is fruitless?" The Silver One said as he saw Thor returning to the battle. "You Warrior Gods never know went to stop."
The heroes continued on their fight against Galactus's Punishers, for each monster was made by the Power Cosmic. Can the heroes win this battle or die trying?
