Connie, Bucky and Sam were outside while the gang were upstairs with Shuri, T'Challa's sister to find a way to get the stone out of Vision. Connie felt a jab to her side and she turned to see it was Bucky as he had a soft grin. Connie intertwined their fingers for a moment and she looked at him with a soft smile
"I've missed you.." She whispered and Bucky had a soft expression on his face and he moved a bit of hair out of her face and he leaned down to kiss her forehead
"You know.. I didn't expect your next visit would happen because of the end of the world.. I expected it a bit different" Bucky whispered softly and Connie raised an eyebrow playfully "What were you expecting?" She asked and Bucky pretended to think for a bit
"You know.. Staying here with me, us living together on the little goat farm I have" He said and she giggled "I would have love to stay at your goat farm James.. Let's just survive this thing first okay?" She questioned and he smiled and nodded.. The thought of getting down on one knee was itching at him.. It's just he left the ring at home and right now wasn't the right time.
"Thinking about it, Doll" Bucky winked at her and Sam looked on, pretending to be annoyed but of course he started to laugh and Bucky gave him a pointed look
"Don't think I forgot about you two dating" Bucky said. Connie and Sam started to laugh
"I remember when we first told you.. I don't think I've seen you with wide eyes and mouth open so wide.. I swore you were going to faint" Connie said and Bucky shook his head "You were with my enemy!"
"It's cause she has taste, James.." Sam said and started to laugh "But I not talking about you."
Bucky narrowed his eyes "I'm going to kill you" He muttered and Connie squeezed his normal arm "Well, I haven't gotten the chance to say how much I love the new arm.. I can't wait to see how it works" She said and Bucky blushed and he shook his head "It's just a arm.."
"You forget I love you.. Every part of you, even the parts you don't like" Connie nodded at the arm and Bucky smiled at that and he was about to open his mouth but he heard Sam shouting "Incoming!"
Bucky and Connie looked up to see a couple of ships flying at the city.. Only to be destroyed by the force fields around the city. Bucky smiled a bit as he muttered "God, I love this place"
"Yeah, don't start celebrating yet, guys. We got more incoming outside the dome." Rhodes muttered and Connie saw that more ships were coming and were landing nearby and they heard Vision muttered something and Nat telling him to sit back on the table
"We will hold them off" T'Challa muttered
"We're going to need all hands on deck for this one" Orchid's voice came through
"Wanda, as soon as the stone's out of his head... you blow it to hell." Steve's voice said
"I will."
"Evacuate the city. Engage all defense procedures." T'Challa's voice boomed through the coms as he paused for a moment and spoke once more "And get this man a shield."
Rocket gazes amazed at the blazing core. An iris on the cladding around the star opens, firing pure stellar heat through the ring portals and into the forge... until the damaged mechanism fails, crumbles loose and slams shut. The iris closes and the beam of light trails off.
"Damn it." Rocket heard Eitri's voice from the com and Rocket turned his ship ""Damn it"? What's "damn it"?" Rocket asked as he looked forward and saw Groot sitting on the ground.. Of course playing his game. Rocket knew not to involve Groot in this.. When in reality, Groot just wanted to see Anthea
"The mechanism is crippled." The Dwarf King said and Thor was confused "What?"
"With the iris closed I can't heat the metal." Eitri spoke and Thor looked down for a moment before looking up "How long will it take to heat?" He questioned and he started to get worried.. The sooner he could get to Aya, the sooner she could be protected from Thanos.. He could also look after Anthea.
"A few minutes, maybe more. Why?" Eitri spoke and Thor stood up top of Rocket's pod and he spoke "I'm gonna hold it open." He said and Eitri was shocked "That's suicide!"
"So is facing Thanos without that axe and I need to make sure Aya gets that sword" He said as he flew towards the iris of the star and towards the machine
Carriers hover were traveling fast towards the Battle Field. There were Wakandan soldiers and Natasha, Steve and Bucky and Connie on board. Rhodes and Sam were flying overhead, and Bruce is in the Hulkbuster armor as he was trying to run.. Attempting really.. He was trying his best.
"How we looking, Bruce?" Nat questioned through Com and Connie looked back to see Bruce jogging along, still trying to get the hang of the Hulkbuster
"Yeah, I think I'm getting the hang of it. Wow! It's like being the Hulk without actually-" He didn't get the chance to finish as he fell over a rock, Connie couldn't help but giggle. A carrier that carried T'Challa, Okoye and Orchid passed by.. Okoye giving him a look of judgment while her cousin, Orchid just gave a look of amusement "I'm okay. I'm okay." Bruce muttered
"I got two heat signatures breaking through the tree line." Rhodes said and Orchid looked at her husband "We already have company.. Shall we greet them?" She questioned and her husband nodded "Great idea"
Everyone got off the ships and moving towards the battle field.. Orchid had a huge smile on her face when hearing a familiar battle chant and she saw her best friend, M'Baku ahead.. Chanting a battle cry with his tribe.
T'Challa and Orchid led the army, Connie took notice that Janet and Felix had stayed behind with Wanda and Shuri to make sure there was backup incase anything happened
T'Challa and M'Baku clasped wrists before Orchid and M'Baku sharing a hug. The king of Wakanda nodded "Thank you for standing with us." He said and Orchid smiled softly "At the end of the world.. We're grateful for your help"
M'Baku smiled a bit at the couple and be bowed his head slightly "Of course, brother.. Sister"
Orchid took her husband's hand and she nodded to Steve and Natasha who came towards them. Steve stopping for a moment before looking at Connie "Are you joining?" He asked and Connie couldn't help but smile.. Before, Steve would be protective of Connie.. Being unsure to take her into some kind of battle because he would be worried.. Now it Steve knew that Connie could handle herself and he trusted her so much in the battle field.. Even more than the Avengers.
Orchid, Connie, T'Challa, Steve and Natasha made their way towards the edge of the barrier, where Proxima Midnight and Cull Obsidian stand. Proxima tests the strength of the barrier by drawing her sword across it as she watched the group making their way towards her.
"Where's your other friend?" Natasha questioned when the four of them stopped. Connie remembered the female alien.. But the one next to her.. Was bigger, stronger.
"You will pay for his life with yours. Thanos will have that stone." Proxima Midnight said glaring at Natasha.. Connie snorted and shook her head "Over our dead bodies will you be getting that stone.. That stone is Vision.. He's our family"
"Yeah.. That's not going to happen at all" Steve agreed and T'Challa spoke "You are in Wakanda now. Thanos will have nothing but dust and blood."
"There is a King and Queen and a whole army here.. Ready to take you down" Orchid said squeezing her husband's hand and Proxima Midnight narrowed her eyes
"We... have blood to spare." She said as se raised her sword and the ships behind her start raising their outer hulls to allow their "passengers" to disembark. The four started to make their way back towards the army.. Connie was suddenly nervous as she stood between Bucky and Steve
"Did they surrender?" Bucky asked looking down at Connie who grabbed his hand and squeezed it, Bucky noticed that his ex-girlfriend was nervous so he kissed her temple and Steve shook his head "Not exactly."
"Yibambe!" T'Challa and Orchid started the chant, the army following behind. Connie seeing that the married couple had their hands intertwined as they kept on chanting.. Connie knew that couple were thinking and preparing for in case one or both would die in battle.. Connie noticed that Orchid had a small tear coming down her eye and T'Challa just squeezed her hand and he stopped for a moment before whispering 'I love you' before going back to the chant. The King and Queen telling them to hold fast and brace themselves as the Outriders bound toward the barrier; Proxima drops her sword arm down in the signal to attack.
"What the hell." Bucky simply said as he saw the Outriders coming out the woods and into the barrier, Connie noting how ugly the creatures were.. Natasha spoke next to them "Looks like we pissed her off."
Okoye and Orchid watched on horrified, as the Outriders bombard the forcefield, squeezing limbs and bodies partly through only to be bisected "They're killing themselves." Okoye said and Orchid shook her head "There is a master plan in this.. She wouldn't let them do that for no reason."
As a few Outriders managed to squeeze through intact, the Border Tribe take a knee and raise their shields. The Kingsguard behind them level their sonic spears over their comrades' shoulders, and on T'Challa's command, they started to fire at the approaching monsters. Bucky using his machine gun, and Bruce fires the Hulkbuster's hand repulsors. Connie saw that that everyone was doing wasn't doing much damage
"You seen the teeth on those things?" Sam said and Rhodes spoke "Alright, back up, Sam. You're gonna get your wings singed." He said and suddenly he flew over a group of Outriders and dropped a barrage of mines, all exploding fantastically
Everyone noticed a pack of Outriders starting to run around the forcefield to the right of the defenders' position Orchid looking towards her husband "They're going to go around the force field"
"Cap, if these things circle the perimeter and get in behind us...There's nothing between them and Vision." Bruce said and Steve was silent for a moment until he spoke "Them we better keep 'em in front of us."
"How do we do that?" Okoye asked and Orchid shook her head "We have to open the barrier.. Let them come to us"
T'Challa nodded at them and put his comm to his mouth "On my signal, open North-West Section Seventeen."
"Requesting confirmation, my King. You said open the barrier?" The people at Dome Control questioned and T'Challa nodded "On my signal."
M'Baku turned to Okoye and Orchid and he looked down "This will be the end of Wakanda."
"Then it will be the noblest ending in history." Okoye said and Orchid nodded "It will be a great end"
Steve readied one of his vibranium hand guards. T'Challa shouts a command in Xhosa. The Border Tribesmen disengaged their shields and stand, as T'Challa and Orchid walked out in front of them, never taking their eyes off the enemy.
"WAKANDA FOREVER!" T'Challa shouted before Orchid let out a battle cry. Both crossing their arms in the Wakandan salute and closed his Black Panther helmet while Orchid putting her scarf around her mouth before charging for the barrier. T'Challa shouting "Now!" and suddenly part of the Dome opened
The Outriders pour through, distracted from trying to find any other access. Steve, Connie, Orchid and T'Challa pull ahead rapidly due to their enhancements, and literally leap into battle. Connie and Orchid working together to take down a group of Outriders while Steve and T'Challa also teaming up.. Soon the army caught up
"How much longer, Shuri?" T'Challa asked through the coms and Shuri responded "We've barely begun, brother."
"You might want to pick up the pace."
"Allfathers, give me strength." Thor said softly as he was at the iris of the machine... Ready to open it "Aya.. Come back to me" He whispered as he heard The Dwarf King spoke "You understand, boy? You're about to take the full force of a star. It'll kill you."
"Only if I die." Thor said as Eitri was quiet for a moment before speaking once more "Yes. That's what... "killing you" means."
Thor grasped the two levers and pulls them down and towards himself, slowly opening the iris. The stream of stellar energy blasts pasts him and into the forge once again
"Hold it! Hold it, Thor!" Eitri shouted through the com as he began working. It wasn't until Thor felt himself getting weaker and weaker with the force.. He felt himself slipping but he knew that it was working.
Suddenly Thor felt a pair of hands grab at the handles and he looked behind to see that it was Aya! She suddenly shoved him out of the machine and Thor passed out. Rocket saw that a woman was now bracing the impact of the star but he couldn't question it.. He knew it must have been Aya. He flew quickly to try to get Thor's body and landed the ship after Thor bounces limply off a structure to land on the floor. Groot finally looks up from his game at the thump Thor's body makes.
Rocket got up from the ship and towards Thor "Thor! Say something. Come on. Thor, you okay? Look Aya is back!" He whispered and suddenly he saw Aya flying towards them, she didn't look good but wasn't as bad as Thor.. She scrambled to Thor
Eitri was clumsily and urgently pulled the mold, still glowing red-hot, onto the floor, breaking it loose from its frame, then starts punching the mold itself with his metal fists to free the axe. Aya placed her hand on his cheek "Thor.. Come back to me.. Please" She whispered and placed her forehead on his' Rocket looking at the Dwarf King "I think he's dying!"
"He needs the axe! Where's the handle? Tree, help me find the handle!" He called out to Groot. Eitri saw that Aya's sword was ready so he scrambled to place it together and suddenly the Goddess of Protection felt a urge of strength come through her as the Sword made her way towards her.. Laying next to her.
Groot looked sadly at Thor, then scowls with determination.. He remembered Thor's words.. He remembered that the God of Thunder looked after Anthea when she needed someone the most.. Thor was family to Anthea that meant he was family to Groot. Groot stood up and extended his fingers towards Stormbreaker, growing them at extraordinary speed. As he twines them around the two parts, he cries out at the burning pain but does not hesitate, slamming them together and locking them permanently into one structure. He raises it above his head, and with a cry, chops his extended arm with his other hand to sever it at the right 's fingers twitch, and the new weapon levitates in a crackle of lightning echoed by the sparks between Thor's fingers.
Aya kissed his head as she whispered prayers and suddenly she saw the sparks and suddenly she grabbed Rocket and backed away and Rocket shouted "What are you doing?"
"He's coming back that's what.." Aya whispered with a smile on her face
The Avengers and Wakandans are struggling against the Outriders. Bucky going down and fights off Outrider fangs snapping at his head. He saw that Connie was pinned down by a couple of Outriders and he quickly took out his knife and started to stab the ones after him before making his way towards her, stabbing the ones that were going after her but both were outnumbered. T'Challa, Orchid and Steve still fight side-by-side but soon the Outriders got Orchid and she yelped as she was suddenly pinned and T'Challa tried to get to her but he was being ambushed as well. Connie looked over and saw that Orchid was being thrown around like a ragdoll.. Steve suddenly tackled himself into the outriders going after her but soon the number of the aliens was overthrowing him. Connie saw The Hulkbuster is dogpiled and pinned.
"There's too many of them! AAAAHHHHH!" Connie heard Bruce's screams and suddenly there was a huge boom and Connie looked up
The Bifrost came booming down to the ground. Suddenly a sword and axe flying out of the portal and into Outriders.. Taking down the Outriders that were attacking the Avengers.
Steve scrambled to Orchid who was coughing up blood and he was checking on her. T'Challa ran towards her and whined when he saw that there were slashes on her sides and Orchid grabbed her husband's arm "I'm fine.. I promise I'm fine" She whispered softly and Natasha looked to see that Bucky made his way to Connie and helped her up. They were clinging to each other as they looked on in awe of what happened next
"Holy shit" Connie whispered
Out of the portal came out Thor, Aya following with Groot and Rocket and suddenly he wrapped an arm around her waist as both their weapons came back to their respectful owners. Aya looking up at the love of her life with awe in her eyes as she didn't even have enough time to explain where she crashed into.. All she told Thor that..
She was at a Lake.
Thor looked down at her and kissed her head before looking at Proxima Midnight and Cull Obsidian with anger in his eyes before he roared "Bring me Thanos!" Before him, Aya, Rocket and Groot running to a huge amount of Outriders, Thor's eyes glowing blue with lighting coming out.. Aya following with her eyes glowing a faint pale blue before both of them leaped into the air and crashed their weapons into the ground.. The alien creatures being blown back..
Maybe now Team Wakanda had a chance since they had a God and Goddess.. and One of the Three.

On some reviews:
I do agree that Tony and Steve would be closer if Riley dies in the snap, I feel like it would destroy both. But also I need to think of if this is Tony and Steve do die in the next movie.. I wouldn't want Riley to come back from the snap to discover that she lost two important people in her life died and she never got to say goodbye.. Tbh I think Riley's fate is the most complicated because it took me weeks before I even started on this story to see who lives and doesn't and I'm still uncertain about hers.
The Characters that will survive the snap, they do have a greater role in the next story.. I didn't keep them there for no random reason, they have a role to play to stop Thanos.
I feel like if I do kill off Riley, the devil on my shoulder would make me pair up Steve and Anthea because I would love to see them together as a couple and they're both my favorites in the stories I wrote. But then if I don't kill Riley, I would make Steve and Anthea have a close relationship anyways so I won't win either way.
Orchid and T'Challa have matured from their own story to this one.. They had two years to grow into a King and Queen and they both mature nicely. I think if either one of them died it would be crazy.. You do have T'Challa going insane that his wife and possibly his sister and mother didn't survive but also.. Orchid had been raised all her life to be T'Challa's wife and the Queen of Wakanda.. If T'Challa dies, what does she have left?
Peter and Anthea are going to be a heartbreaker from here on out, their relationship kinda reminds me of Ten/Rose from Doctor Who. Anthea does remind me of the Tenth Doctor a lot.
We will be having lots of twist, even the post credit chapter has a shocker!
I feel like Avengers 4 will be the Swan Song of a lot of MCU OCs for me, with Black Panther and Doctor Strange 2 and Captain Marvel movies being closure for my other OCs.. As for GOTG 3, as of now I have no plans for writing the story as we don't even have a date of when it will come out. I also want to start on other stories besides Marvel, stories that I had on my mind for a while can't do yet because of my MCU stories and not wanting to overwhelm you guys with stories and not over do it
I actually have plans on writing another Captain America story, this one not being connected to this Universe. But just this one having it's own little vibe. This one will be written around the time of my Ant-Man and Wasp story (Which needs to be done soon!)
Leave Reivews! Until next time!
