Infinity Chapter 21 - Forge
"Charol focus! You stop focusing and that shield breaks" Tony said
"Shut up" Charol said softly
"Cap do you think you can hold them off" Charol was trying her best to hold up the shield protecting them
"We will hold them off, Charol you take half the team and go kill that son of bitch" Steve said
Half of the Avengers gathered beside Charol, and were soon off to go fight Thanos off the island, Thanos stepped out of his ship and seen Charol over, "No!" Thanos took the bait and followed Captain Marvel. Thanos ships crashed on the far side of the island, and that's where all the vikings were standing guard ready to fight.
Stoick walked around looking at how many warriors he had gathered, it was to many to count but he soon met up with Alvin the treacherous, "Thank you for standing with us" They shook hands
"You owe me after all this" Alvin laughed
The ships that landed on Berk were opening their bay doors, hundreds of 4 armed creatures jumped out in a mad frenzy, "Steve we can help" Astrid caught up to him.
"Use your dragons friends and help us from the air, were going to need it" Steve then ordered everyone to line up and get ready to charge. Everyone complied and did as told, then out of the tree line came those creatures, they were easily outnumbered but no viking ever backed down from a fight, then Steve shouted something that the teens couldn't hear and everyone roared and ran behind him, the dragons took off and immediately followed suit. Rhodey acted quickly and dropped bombs to try and thin down their numbers, Banner was running along side his fellow avengers in some kind of armored suit, Steve then kicked it into overdrive and outpaced everyone, Astrid and Snoutlout noticed this from the air.
When the two armies met in the middle of the battle ground it was all-out brawl, the savage creatures were faster but the vikings were stronger, the teens did what they could from the air, an unlikely team up came between Steve and Stoick, they had each other's back, killing Outrider after another, "Astrid how long until Julian and Hiccup get back?" Snoutlout veered left to flame more Outriders.
"I don't know! Just keep them off our friends!" Astrid then took Stormfly in loop to avoid being grabbed by one outrider, who jumped at her.
SPACE...
"I don't think you get scientifics here, these rings are gigantic, you wanna get them moving your gonna need something a lot bigger to yank them loose" Rocket said
"Leave that to me" Julian replied
"Leave that to you? Buddy your in space, all you got is a rope and a-" Rocket was abruptly cut off when Julian swung him around violently. The teens heard Rocket screaming on their communication devices Rocket gave them, then heard Julian say, "Fire the engines!" Rocket did as told, the teens watched as they flew across the rings. Julian reached down and caught himself, then forced his legs to anchor down and came to a dead stop, the rings were moving slowly but it wasn't enough.
"More power rabbit!" Julian yelled as he strained to keep a tight grip.
CRACK
The ice holding the rings cracked and moved, very slowly the rings moved into place and the star slowly started to brighten up, then all the rings aligned perfectly and the star lit up, everyones face couldn't help but stare at the star's luminosity, "That's Nidavellir" Julian laughed uncontrollably.
The iris for the forge opened and a beam of energy from the star shot out, it connected with the area of the forge that harnessed the energy, but then the iris closed and the beam stopped, "Damn it" Etri said to himself.
"Damn it? What's damn it?" Hiccup asked
"The mechanism is crippled" Julian flung his hands up in disbelief "With the iris closed I can't heat the metal" Etri said
"How long will it take to heat it?" Julian knew what he was going to have to do
"A minute maybe more, why?" Etri looked around
"I'm going to hold it open" Julian prepared himself
"What! You can't do that it's suicide" Heather couldn't believe what she was hearing
"So is facing Thanos without that axe" Julian shot back then jumped towards the iris
Back on Earth...
Charol was shot out of the sky from a blast from the power stone, this sent the one's who couldn't fly hurdling towards the ground, lucky Tony caught them and safely out then down, then immediately went to go fight Thanos with his new Thanos-buster suit.
A fight ensued, Thanos was surprised at Stark's fighting style since their encounter, Ant-man put him on the end of Hawkeye's arrow, "Remember that move back at the airport?" Scott asked.
Hawkeye then launched his arrow, Scott jumped off and transformed in giant man, Scott delivered a massive blow to Thanos, he laughed nervously thinking he'd won, "Hey guys I did it" Scott laughed then felt something underneath his foot, then a blast from the power stone sent him on his behind, Thanos quickly regained his ground and engaged the Avengers.
Widow acted quickly and threw and stun at the mad titans feet, Hawkeye then shot and explosive arrow at the gauntlet, Iron man seen his opening tackled Thanos to the ground, but when Tony nearly blasted his face off, he teleported with the space stone. Teleport after another he attacked the Avengers, "Clint do you see what I'm seeing?" Widow watched her back
"Yup, It's a pattern" Clint was on guard
"And if it's a pattern you can figure it out" Widow smiled
"One two three four" Clint then ducked and shot and taser arrow and caught Thanos off guard
Clint then counted again and told Tony to shield himself, just in time Tony shielded himself from a blast from the power stone, "Cap get ready" Clint went back to counting.
Thanos reappeared once again, and Clint shot without looking a sticky arrow, once it connected Tony launched a gauntlet constraint on the glove, then Captain Marvel leveled Thanos into the ground with a energy blast from her hands. Now every Avenger that was present held him down, as Tony and Charol attempted to take off the gauntlet.
They so very nearly had it, when the Thanos from this universe hit both Tony and Charol off of the pinned titan, the two mad titans regained their ground, and Thanos looked at his surroundings and seen the moon, he closed his fist and blew up the moon with the power stone, and used the space stone to hurl the continent size moon rocks at the Avengers.
"Not again" Tony said
SPACE...
"All-Fathers give me strength"
"You understand boy, your about to take the full force of star, it'll kill you" Etri said
"Only if I die" Julian took deep breaths
"Yes, that's what killing you means" Etri was confused, while the others scratched their heads at that response from Julian.
The iris for the mechanism slowly opened, Julian felt the heat from the star behind him, he wanted to let go so badly to stop the pain, but he held it open, then the energy from the star launched towards the device that harnessed it, the entire forge lit up. All the circuits were streaming with power from the star, "Hold it! HOLD IT THOR!" The giant dwarf took off running.
"Just a little bit longer Julian, just a little bit longer" Heather muttered to herself
Julian was desperately holding with all his strength. He remembered how terrified his people were when they were boarded by Thanos' army, the ship couldn't outrun the massive vessel in front of him, the hostile ships surrounded them, and his forces were boarding the Statesmen. They weren't enough warriors to fight. His people cried at his feet begging for protection but he felt hopeless, because he knew they couldn't fight them off. All the cries and screams from his people echoed in his ears, that dreadful bone snap from when Thanos choked his brother to death right in front of him. Julian screamed out in pure agony.
"I can't hold it anymore..."
Suddenly the teens heard a loud noise, it turned out to be the dwarf was moving a wheel to pour the heating metal into the mold, then the energy for the star stopped and a few moments later Julian landed on the platform with the teens. Rocket landed and came rushing over to his aid, "Julian say something, say something, Julian you okay?" Rocket looked over towards Etri, "I think he's dying".
"He's needs the axe! Where is the handle? Humans help me find the handle!" Everyone scattered in a mad frenzy to find the handle
Heather sat beside Julian crying, Groot only stood a couple feet away, "Help him, please" Heather begged him.
Groot then toughened up and walked over to the two pieces, extending his arm into a branch he joined the two pieces together, he groaned in pain but powered through it, Groot then held it up and chopped off his arm, and the now newly completed stormbreaker fell towards the platform.
BANG
The axe slowly rose in the air and cracked with lighting, the teens heard the roaring thunder around them so they carefully backed up, the axe flew to Julian's hand and revived him, the teens were treated to a nice lighting show as Julian's asgardian armor formed around him.
"Everyone with me now!" Julian shouted
"Is this how you normally look?" Sigrunn couldn't help but smile, Heather was now glaring at Sigrunn but she didn't notice.
"More or less." Julian responded
"It's a good look."
Everyone grabbed a weapon and raced over to Julian,"Where are we headed?" Hiccup asked
"Earth," Julian replied "Everyone hand on tight.", Julian grabbed Heather and held her close, he then held up his new weapon, and they were lifted off their feet and were speeding through space.
