AN: Yesss, the plot's moving!
Disclaimer: I don't own anything.
Everyone in the Conference Hall ran outside towards where the bifrost landed, the remnants of the rainbow bridge faded out and revealed the Hulk on all fours as he was being mauled over by four Outriders surrounded by five more.
The other five aliens decided to attack everyone they see including the Facility's staff and securities. Wanda was the first to take action, waving her arms towards a group of guards shooting at an Outrider, red waves surrounded the alien and she pulled it away from them, tossing it to one of the Outrider riding the Hulk. The Hulk was able to break free from their clutches and proceeded to attack them.
"Get away from here!" She yelled at the guards.
Scott and Hope joined in taking in two of the Outriders in a one on one battle. Vision and Sam attacked the three while Natasha tried to shoot and distract the other outriders riding the Hulk.
"Hit them in the head, boys!" She shouted.
Vision pointed the stone's beam at an Outrider and shot its head, killing it in the process. Sam glided in, an Outrider hanging on his wing tip, he landed near Vision and closed his wings, kicking the Outrider towards Vision's sight.
"Vis!" Sam called and Vision shot the Outrider he threw straight in the head.
"Did we actually fought these things!?" Sam asked but his question was left hanging since everyone was busy with their own fight.
Meanwhile, Scott tried to melee an Outrider while Hope blasted it in the head, the other Outrider coming in from behind him. Scott shrank down, confusing the alien. Hope shrank down too and pulled Scott up and flew, carrying him towards the Outrider, Scott grew big as soon as Hope flung him towards it, kicking the alien's head in an unnatural angle with its bones breaking from the force.
Peter and Shuri was the last to arrive at the battle, Okoye following behind.
"Holy crap! What is that!?" Peter asked to everyone.
"Those are the aliens in the video feed." Shuri told him, the two were way in the back, near the Facility's entrance. Okoye stood guard beside her princess. "We need to go now!" She yelled to Vision.
The Hulk roared, turning the tables against his attackers. He grabbed the nearest Outrider and crushed its head then used its limp body as a club and smashed it to the rest of the Outriders surrounding him, killing them too.
Strange popped up in the scene and told them the other Bifrost signature in New York had appeared, bringing in more of the aliens, he left to confront it, leaving everyone.
T'challa arrived and told Vision to come with Shuri and Okoye to Wakanda, "The jet is ready."
"You were inside the Facility this whole time?" Wanda asked the King as she and Vision walked towards T'challa. Meanwhile, the rest were trying to help the Hulk to calm down.
"Do they need help?" Peter asked as he watched the scene with Natasha reaching an arm towards the Hulk, while Scott, Hope and Sam stood warily behind her. Then War Machine and a few AI operated robots appeared in the sky and zoomed towards the city.
Stark ran outside towards them and gave Wanda, Vision, Peter and T'challa communicators, "There's a horde of those things destroying the city and you should all go now!" He ordered, and the Nanobots (AN: Nanites?) molded around his body from the Reactor, transforming into a suit.
"THAT'S SO AWESOME, MR. STARK!" Peter praised in awe, eyes sparkling at the suit. "All right, let's go to the city!"
"Bruce. It's me Natasha." Nat softly called out while waving her palms at the Hulk to get his attention, he slowly calmed down and started to stare straight into her green eyes. "C'mon big guy. The work's done, the sun's getting real low now."
The Hulk swayed for a bit and paused, he started to shrink, his skin easing to change back, "Nat—asha?" it was Bruce's voice that came out. The green in his eyes swirled back in, revealing the dark brown eyes of the doctor. Drawn towards the others in the back, he saw Scott just behind Natasha then Hope and Sam. He also caught sight of Stark and the others, and then Okoye and the spear she was holding.
Flashes of a sword bathed in blood invaded his mind, stopping his transformation. "No!" Both Hulk and Bruce shouted, Natasha involuntarily flinched at the sudden burst, Scott ran to her and pried her to pull back. While Hope and Sam stepped away.
"NO!" the Hulk shouted, gaining everyone's attention to him.
"Shuri, Vision needs to go now! There's too much distraction here. I won't be able to separate the stone from him by myself with all the chaos." Stark told him, while Shuri smirked at him in response, he then looked back at Peter, "Kid, I want you to join them –no buts! I'll send the suit upgrades soon," and then to Wanda, "I know we're not in good terms but please don't let him get killed, Maximoff."
Wanda nodded at Stark and they ran towards the cloaked Jet parked near the wooded area outside the Facility. "Tony Stark calling me for help, take that Brother." Shuri said while smiling proudly, but her smile faltered as she looked at her side and found out that T'challa wasn't running with them.
Stark watched the retreating backs of Wanda, Vision, Peter, Shuri, Okoye and 'wait, where's T'challa?' He asked his self and then jumped at the presence of the King beside him.
"We're needed at New York, Stark." He told him while T'challa's suit transformed from his necklace using Wakandan Nano Technology, Stark scoffed.
'Show off.' And he rolled his eyes.
The Hulk's shouts echoed at the field and Stark and T'challa ran to them,
"…CAN'T! BIG GIRL, PUNY GOD, AND YELLOW GUY - DYING! " Hulk yelled at them, his big arms trembling rage.
"Bruce! Banner!" Natasha still called out. But the Hulk just shook his head at her.
"HULK NEEDS TO RETURN!" The Hulk grabbed the dead Outrider near him and smashed it repeatedly to the ground, "HULK MUST SAVE THEM- HULK RETURN!" He shouted his loudest towards the sky.
Then the lights of the rainbow bridge fell to him, swallowing him and his surrounding, catching Natasha and Scott. Hope and Sam fell back and Stark flew in towards them. Enveloping the four and pulled them away from Earth.
"SCOTT!" Hope called while pushing herself from the ground.
Jane typed furiously into the computer inside a SHIELD van far away from the battle in the city. She pulled in the mic from the headset she was wearing and called Fury, "Director, the bifrost activity appeared again at the Avengers Facility."
Fury's voice replied back, "I know, Sam just filled me in." Jane waited for a reply concerning who arrived, "No, it wasn't Thor if you're wondering. It was Banner, and guess what, he returned from whatever alien planet he came from and took Natasha, Scott Lang and Stark with him!" Then Jane heard gun shots around making her drop the call.
The van's doors suddenly opened and a SHIELD agent asked her to get out and escape, then the agent got attacked by an Outrider, its arms clutched his body and ripped him from the doors and continued to maul the poor agent. Jane cried out in horror and tried to barricade the door but as soon as the Outrider finished killing the agent it jumped at the van's door, pushing away the make-shift barricades.
The Outrider's arms reached out and nearly clawed Jane's eyeballs out from her head, if she didn't crouched hard enough she wouldn't have a head at all. She searched for a weapon or a gun somewhere and remembered the gun SHIELD gave her. She pulled it out and continuously shot the alien but it didn't scratched it. "Shiiiiiiiiit!" (AN: hahaha sorry Jane.)
A glowing yellow thread of some sort wrapped around the Outrider's legs and pulled it from the van. Jane sighed in relief and tried to calm herself down from the attack.
Strange hovered near the van and threw the Outrider towards Wong. Wong opened a portal and the Outrider flew in, he then closed it when it was half-way in and killing the creature.
"Alright, one down, twenty-four more to go." Strange tried to lighten the mood.
War Machine flew in and blasted two Outriders from a nearby building. He then swooped down near a group of civilians being chased down by some Outriders and distracted the creatures. Wong summoned a portal below the civilians and they teleported far away from the battle.
Strange dodged the claws of an Outrider who jumped at him and deflected its attack using his own shields. The alien flinched back when Strange bashed both his fists with the shield towards the alien's chest, he undone the spell and casted another one, the yellow thread from before appeared and he used it to tie the Outrider's neck and snapped it.
An explosion near the New York Sanctum shook the ground and Falcon flew in dropping T'challa next to Strange. War Machine zoomed towards where the explosion was, calling the rest of the AI operated armed robots to follow him, "See you guys there."
"Where's Stark?" Strange asked the king.
Sam landed near them, "He got sucked in by that light with Romanoff and Scott Lang."
"You mean to say our time-travelers got deported to space!?" Strange gave him a disappointed look.
"What's the status, Sorcerer?" T'challa spoke from behind, leaving Sam's answer.
Strange was casting for a portal when he reported, "There's about twenty-five of them, we've got four down, they don't seem to have a motive, these things are just thrashing the city, maiming anyone on sight. SHIELD and Damage Control have already evacuated most of the civilians. Did Stark tell you anything about them?"
Wong and Sam already went in the portal when Strange finished speaking, T'challa marched towards the portal and told him, "They move fast, they're strong, and their claws are sharper than blades. Shoot the head, they're dead." And Strange gestured his arms across his chest, glowing red with a strand of green, a spell was casted to the necklace he wore then followed T'challa to the other side of the portal.
The clashing of swords and claws bounced in the run-down observatory. The building was crumbling and the roof was in pieces leaving a huge hole for Vanaheim's sky to be displayed. The bifrost sword sitting on a marble pedestal in the middle of the observatory. Hulk roared attracting the Outriders inside towards them. Scott, Natasha and Tony- still in his suit, rolled to the side to dodge the incoming aliens and tripped out of the building.
The scene they all saw was a battle ground, the Valkyrie fought off three Outriders at the same time, her sword glistening with blood, and it looks like she's enjoying it. Heimdall was already injured, his right arm bleeding heavily, must be from losing the bifrost sword and then Loki using two daggers to fend off the Outriders coming for Heimdall. In the background were some Vanir soldiers, there were about fifty Outriders and the half was dead while the other half was still fighting them.
"W-Who's the enemy!?" Scott asked, still in shock from being transported to an alien planet.
"Probably the ones that look like demon aliens, Scott, c'mon isn't it obvious?" Tony then flew to join the battle, he helped blasted off the other Outriders surrounding Loki and Heimdall.
"Hey, Reindeer Games, good to see you haven't kicked the bucket yet." Tony greeted and landed near Heimdall, he then punched and jabbed at the Outriders near the guy, he noticed how exhausted he was.
Loki smeared off the Outrider's blood that splattered from Stark's kill, "Isn't this a surprise. Your fighting is barbaric as always, Stark." He rolled back from a swing and stabbed the Outrider both in the chest and the head. "And we are in battle, why would I have time to kick a nonliving item used for carrying water?"
Stark gave him a non-impressed look. "Really? It was an expression- oh never mind."
An Outrider corpse flew between them, directing their attention to where it came from. Hulk was flinging all the aliens around him in every direction from the observatory, meanwhile Scott and Natasha were also fighting their own battles.
The remaining Outriders all ran towards Heimdall, Scott and Natasha noticed the change and they also surrounded him. They formed a circle around the Asgardian including Valkyrie while the Vanirs were fighting far from them. Heimdall gripped at a small dagger with his left arm, ready for an attack.
"What's the deal here? Why do they like him so much?" Natasha asked and she drew her baton and the electricity crackled around her weapon, carefully swinging it towards the aliens. At the same time, Loki was swinging his own daggers, slicing the Outriders cleanly.
"We're fighting with a former villain, look what Thanos had done." Scott muttered.
Valkyrie answered their questions while she cut off a head from an Outrider, "Since you know Thanos, you must be the people Thor spoke of who travelled through time." She paused to take a quick breather and then continued to fight, "Then you must know who Ebony Maw is?"
"Yes." Came Stark's quick answer from his own fight.
"Ebony Maw and Cull Obsidian came marveling in their space ship and attacked Vanaheim while we were out here to send Thor to Nidavellir and the big guy back to Midgard. The Vanirs and Asgardians are safe inside the kingdom and they've set up an indestructible shield. While were locked out here, the Outriders attacked us. Maw and Cull are still at kingdom border-" She jumped to dodge the sharp teeth of an Outrider and impaled her sword on its head. "They're trying to capture Heimdall and use the power of the bifrost to go after Thor who took the Tesseract."
"Thor has the Tesseract?" Stark asked while he blasted the aliens then looked at Loki, "I thought you had the Tesseract."
"He took it from me." Loki answered blankly.
"Of course he did. He's leading Thanos to him and away from here. Typical Thor."
"No." Heimdall spoke, releasing the blade and clutched at his right arm, gasping from losing too much blood. "Thanos' ship, as the prince described from his visions, were not after us. It was only Maw and the Obsidian that came along with their battalion of Outriders."
"Then where is Thanos?"
"My eyes cannot see him." Heimdall looked at the battle again and noticed the Outriders decreasing in numbers, "Come, I need to send you back to Midgard." He dragged his self towards the observatory, Scott generously offered to help him. " That is an ancient structure to activate the bifrost, it harnesses the dark magic yet its unstable. I might have sent a few Outriders to Midgard by mistake. My apologies, but your friends are dealing with it already."
The Vanir soldiers howled in pain and they dropped dead on the ground immediately, making everyone look at them in horror. The soldiers were impaled by sharply pointed metal bars from a nearby Vanir building.
"Oh no." Loki whispered, his voice trembled in actual fear. Stark also tensed up knowing who was coming. Their reactions made the others worried.
Ebony Maw and Cull Obsidian walked out from the trees outside the observatory. Taking in the damage to their army.
"Impressive at first when I thought you have single-handedly fought our pets, as it turns out you had reinforcements." Maw announced and hovered forward. The hulk jumped out from nowhere and hit Cull straight in the head in surprise. Maw evaded them, letting them fight one on one, he raised his hand and the rocks, pebbles and twigs floated around him and it molded into large and sharp blades, sending it towards the group.
Scott shrunk and successfully evaded the blades, Stark who was close to the Valkyrie and Natasha commanded his Nanobots to form a shield, while Loki, who was hiding Heimdall behind him, tried to stop the blades by using his own telekinetic abilities, forming a shield of green strands of magic, unfortunately he wasn't fast enough and eight blades passed through his defense, grazing him and Heimdall.
"You can manipulate matter?" Valkyrie raised her voice at him, "You should have used that since when we got ambushed earlier!"
Loki concentrated, "I'm not overly fond of using it. I delve more in spells and adept at fighting hand-to-hand."
"Adept? I've defeated you in hand-to-hand, Lackey." Valkyrie scoffed.
"I was merely distracted, I could have won."
"Could have."
"Enough with the banter you two! Loki you deal with Maw, we know they're after you, so you have no choice but to help!" Natasha yelled at them. "Tony, Scott, let's help Heimdall up, were no match with Telekinesis."
Maw spoke again, "Hear me and Rejoice, Earthlings. You have had the privilege of being saved by the Great Titan. Instigated by his children before you, you may think-" He got cut off when he was pushed forward by a powerful force, throwing him down on the ground.
"Insolent runt." Maw got up and uprooted the trees with his mind, then threw it towards Loki. Loki lifted his arms up and tried to counter it, green magic seared around the trees and got pushed back.
Maw spread his fingers and the Trees scattered into branches and twigs, and used it to rain over the whole observatory.
Loki shielded his self, "Curse Thor for making me skip my Telekinesis class!" he muttered and blaming Thor for his weak Telekinetic skills.
Stark noticed the incoming attack when they reached the pedestal where the sword was placed and formed the nano shield again, protecting Natasha, Scott, and Heimdall.
Natasha noticed Valkyrie was missing and found her with Hulk fighting and evading Cull's attacks. She then focused back to Heimdall.
Valkyrie slashed her sword at Cull's leg but it didn't cut him, his flesh was too strong so she ran back away to dodge the hammer coming for her. She then noticed her body beginning to feel light, and she was hurled towards Hulk. The Hulk caught her but he too got lifted from the ground and then was pushed towards the observatory. It shook the observatory which made it crumble even further.
Maw lifted Loki who was struggling to move from his telekinetic binds and threw him towards Cull. Cull grabbed him in the neck, facing to the people in the observatory.
"Take us to where the Tesseract lies and we will gladly offer it to Lord Thanos." Maw advised, he then used the marbled floor of the observatory and molded it into pointed rocks directly aiming it at everyone's heads. (AN: like hela's power)
Everyone froze in their spots, including the Hulk who was caged by the pointed rocks in his position.
"One wrong move, and our heads get drilled. What now?" Stark whispered to them at the pedestal. Heimdall was already gripping the sword and he was trying to decide whether to send the group to Earth while they leave Loki to his probable death -which disobeys his King's order or stay there.
"The tesseract is not- here. But-" Loki gasped for air while hanging from Cull's grip. "There is another-stone, I know where it is-."
"Enough, runt." Cull growled. "Your words are not worth our trust, you betrayed us before, and you will betray us still." He gripped Loki's neck stronger, making the god wheeze in pain. "Our father promised you once you fail- you will long for something sweet as pain."
Heimdall twisted the bifrost sword and the dark magic danced around the observatory, the lights entered the pedestal and the rainbow bridge appeared, sucking in Cull Obsidian and Loki. Maw was blasted off by the bifrost's force and when he came to focus, the remnants of the Observatory crumbled and the survivors disappeared.
AN: I don't know what Strange's abilities are called, sorry. And also Stark's nano tech, I keep switching between Nanobots and Nanites (got this from Generator Rex). But at least the story is going somewhere.
PS: I suck at writing. I know. But tell me if it wasn't at all confusing to understand (especially the fights), English is not my main language. *cries in Illonggo*
