Tony raised his hand and the repulsor released a charge, the blast hit Bruce square in the chest knocking him to the ground. Tony thrusted himself forward, the jets in his boots propelling him. Tony attempted to land a blow to the side of Arthur's face, however unlike Bruce he wasn't caught off guard and stepped aside in time. Tony's boots slid across the smooth concrete floor before grinding to a halt, the scraping of metal filled everyone's ears. Arthur went to strike Tony with his trident, Steve snatched it from his hand while simultaneously forcefully kicking Arthur behind the knee. With Arthur's head now waist high, the Captain's shield collided with the Atlantean's head with tremendous force. Steve tossed the weapon aside, and went to land another blow to the dazed Atlantean. His left leg was suddenly snatched up from under him, his head crashed painfully against the cold hard ground. Steve's head shot up, he found a grapple wrapped round his leg, a taught metal cable led back to Bruce. Tony had attempted to come to his aid but Arthur had rose up and pinned him against the shelfing by his throat. Steve brought the sharp edge of shield down onto the cable, slicing through it with ease. He jumped to his feet hurling his shield at Bruce, while Tony freed himself from Arthur's grasp. Metal hands suddenly pushed Steve aside, his eyes followed Mjölnir as it hurtled passed before slamming to the ground.
Thor stood stunned, he blinked a few times not sure whether his eyes deceived him. Diana had swatted Mjölnir aside with a single swipe of her shield, he raised his hand calling his beloved hammer back to him. Just as his weapon returned to him, gun fire ripped passed his ear. Diana raised her shield immediately, the bullets crashed against it, flattening before dropping to the floor. The sound of the destroyed bullets clinking against the ground seemed deafening.
"No!" Barry shouted, having broken away from his fight with Victor, he was at Natasha's side in a moment, like before Natasha's guns vanished from her hands. Barry held them for a moment, disgusted with how they felt in his grip, he threw them a far distance away. "No guns." Barry insisted, fearing a stray bullet would be the end of someone. Silver metal arms grabbed him from behind, lightening erupted from around the kid before he appeared behind Victor.
"Easy for you to say!" Natasha shouted furiously. She momentarily noticed Banner watching from another aisle, his eyes peered through the shelfing. She recalled how she had watched him scramble through an opening in the shelf when the fight had begun.
"Get down!" Steve suddenly ordered, Thor and Natasha dropped instantaneously. Barry noticed almost too late as Tony shot his powerful unibeam from the arc reactor, directly at the centre of the Captain's shield, who then reflected the blast at both Victor and Diana. Barry watched in slow-motion as the unibeam travelled at an extraordinarily fast rate towards his friends. With the light of the unibeam glistening in his eyes he only just spotted Arthur on the ground reaching for his trident. Thinking fast he went to Arthurs side, kicking the weapon again away from the man. Time returned to normal, Diana had raised her shield and withstood the unibeam. Victor had taken a hit to the arm, the cyborg recoiled but soon was back in the fight. Steve noticed Natasha was now facing off against Victor with nothing more than the tasers she had around her wrists.
"Natasha swap!" The Captain shouted, she heard Steve immediately and sprinted towards him, Steve crouched and held his shield above his head. She jumped at speed onto the shield, she was launched into the air, she went to land a hit on Bruce but he avoided her fist. Natasha rolled into her landing and was soon back on her feet.
Before Steve could even get close to Victor Diana's sword swung wildly at him, Thor proceeded to take Steve's place in fighting Victor, his hammer clanking each time it collided with the cyborg. Steve's shield met with Diana's, their eyes met, she seemed to stare right through him as if she was blind. Her sword then came swinging from the left, he planted his boot on Diana's stomach before shoving her away, the sword sliced viscously through the air.
"Tony got any ideas?!" Steve called, looking over Diana's shoulder he watched Arthur land a decent punch to Tony's golden face plate, the billionaire staggered before dropping to one knee. His arc reactor was flickering slightly. Arthur approached but didn't get a chance to land another hit. Tony propelled by his boot jets plunged his metal fist under Arthur's chin, Tony was amazed when the man only stumbled back leaning against the shelfing to his right.
"The devices seem to be giving off a signal." Tony shouted back, but Arthur was back in the fight. Tony swung wide but Arthur caught his fist, so he swung with his other fist. Arthur's hand latched onto his arm. Warnings suddenly flashed on screen showing Tony he was crushing his amour. Tony having no other choice fired the unibeam, striking Arthur in the chest. He released Tony and his back met the floor, Tony quickly finished the job by punching Arthur directly in the forehead. Tony looked up to find Natasha's boot to Batman's neck, but he latched onto her boot before rolling. Natasha's head crashed against the metal shelfing. She fell to the ground limp, blood poured from a wound on her head. Tony found his breath taken from him. Bruce got to his feet, Tony then simply rose his hand and shot a semi charged repulsor at the back of Bruce's head, the man was launched forward and also hit his head against the shelfing. An ear shattering roar ripped through the warehouse, the Hulk burst through the shelfing. Tony threw himself over Natasha and Bruce, protecting them from falling debris. He felt the heavy creates and metal frame work slam against his back, his chest burned with pain.
Thor rapidly swung Mjölnir at the robotic man, each time it collided with him it was as if he felt no pain. Their fight was interrupted when the Hulk made his entrance. Hulk now in the fight, snatched up Diana by the leg and slammed her repeatedly into the ground, her shield falling to the ground. Diana still with her sword in hand swung at Hulk. Her blade cut deep into Hulk's arm. The Avengers struggled to believe what they were seeing, the invincible creature, bleeding. Hulk cried out and dropped Diana, clutching his arm his bright green eyes stared confused. Diana lunged at Hulk, blood still on the edge of her blade. Tony got to his feet, his amour growing heavy. His eyes fell on Natasha's unmoving form, he knew what needed to be done. Tony watched Barry crash into Diana knocking her away from Hulk, her blade clattered against the ground. Now unarmed, she brought her silver cuffs down on each other. A blast erupted from them, sending everyone flying back roughly a meter, the shelfs fell away from them, creating a domino effect with all the others. The once confined area was now open and they were surrounded by fallen creates and metal framework. Tony ascended to his feet once more, this time via his boot jets.
"Cap!" Tony called, Steve looked back at Tony, as he clambered to his feet. "Get them home." Steve didn't see but Tony gave a weak smile under his faceplate. Steve had noticed earlier on in the fight, after Tony had used his unibeam, his reactor had been flickering. He couldn't do anything to help his friend. Suddenly a pulse wave erupted from the Iron Man amour, the lights sparked before going off and plunging the warehouse into darkness.
