AN: hey guys here is the next chapter, please continue giving me feedback I love to hear from you. Enjoy.
The others followed soon after, heading for RV in separate cars. As discussed the night before, planes were a no go and Stark wasn't allowed in. Not until they were given the signal by Alex meaning it would be safe for them to use the air. The Army were in what appeared to be hover crafts, but looking closely at them you could not see any form of weapon on them. Alex warned that if they had no weapons their opponents would rush to defend their lands but the thing about the Enemy they don't need weapons.
They could see the group that must be the command centre as they were centred in the middle at the front, just like Alex said they would be Lucifer was the type not to miss out on the fight. They arrived and a single figure was at the head, Alex was watching him as he approached. Everyone at the stage had noticed them and were panicking screams were echoed around the city and you heard a low rumble of laughter
"CITIZENS OF EARTH FEAR ME!" A deep voice roared over everyone's screams.
Alex now stood upon the tallest building closest to the army and watched them; it was a general that noticed her first. She was the only one not scared and they could see this through her own aura.
"I will give you this one chance to live, leave now and don't come near Earth again," Alex called out.
Their response was laughter.
"You have no idea who we are or that threat never would have been made. Now, human, I suggest you grow some sense and flee like the rest, better yet beg for mercy and I may make you as my pet." Lucifer sneered.
Alex gave him a sly smile and she had to admit it seeing him hesitate was rewarding, "Not a smart move retuning to Earth, Lucifer. You think He would let you come back?"
"Who are you?" He demanded, "Never mind." Signalling for two hovercrafts to leave their fleet and as they came towards her, they dropped off two warriors in bronze armour.
"That's offensive," She muttered switching on to the defence as they attacked her.
They were fast, but she was faster. She chose not to use her sword and instead was using daggers. The first one to reach her didn't have any weapons aside from his iron hands. 'Ironic' she thought to herself, looking at the symbol on his breast plate. An iron fist. He punched her in the gut, knocking the breath out of her for a second, but she was able to dodge the next. Stepping to the side and using her dagger, she sliced through to the bone. He yelled in pain, using his distraction to her advantage. She leapt forward and sliced his throat.
She didn't have time to celebrate as the second one was on her. He too had an iron fist, but was armed with a large dagger. They fought on an even field, when one struck the other blocked. Until Alex threw one of her daggers, which he deflected, but didn't see the second one was already on its way. He smiled at her after deflecting the first which was soon replaced by surprise; he looked down to see her second dagger protruding from his chest. He collapsed, dead.
She collected both before turning back to Lucifer who had just motioned for his first legion to attack. Some went for her, but the rest made their way towards the city. Alex let lose a piercing whistle that 17 hovercrafts answered. Rising from the Earth, they immediately began eliminating The Enemy that had made their way into the city. One flew past Alex, and she saw Agent Romanoff inside with Jason. He jumped out of the craft and together Jason and Alex fought those closest to them. Once in the clear Alex got Jason to go down and help the forces on the ground. he left her after giving her a look of understanding, he then jumped off the building to aid Captain America who was protecting civilians from a fleet. The sound of the raging battle and the blood curdling screams of those that were dying, both human and Enemy alike, meant she had to yell the order. Soldiers had arrived and planes were in the air. Alex muttered under her breath as Lucifer struck those in the sky sending them plummeting downwards.
"ENOUGH HAND OVER THE SAMENTO AND I WILL LEAVE. NO MORE BLOOD HAS TO BE SHED," Lucifer shouted.
"Fair enough deal, but I know you. You have no honour. As soon as they give her over you will destroy this planet as well as others. So no, I have a better deal. I challenge you Lucifer to a bello antiquis, audite vocem meam; oath ruptor (Battle of ancients, hear my voice; Oath Breaker.)" Alex cried out in Latin.
