Hello! This chapter deals with The Black Order fighting the The Avengers allies inside the compound.
Please enjoy!
While The Avengers fought Thanos outside the compound, Maw and The Black Order made their move and went into the building to retrieve The Seventh Stone for their father.
"Looks like those annoying things are back." Loki told the allies that were assembled inside the building. He remembered them when he fell through the worm hole into Thanos' domain seven years ago after fighting with Thor and more recently last month when they attacked his ship with Thanos. The one that constantly gave speeches annoyed him the most.
"The ones Tony warned us about?" Sharon asked loading her pistol.
"Yes. I can sense them trying to break in the back. Let's get everyone ready." Ordered Loki summoning a dagger.
"Alright, you know what to do people! Stop Thanos' minions from getting to those boxes! The Avengers are counting on us!" Sharon exclaimed as everyone got their weapons out and ready for battle.
"Hear me and rejoice! Your Avengers are outside are doomed! And you will be too! I suggest you give us The Seventh Stone now if you want a fast and painless death!" Maw threatened to The Avengers' allies as he broke through the wall in the back with Proxima Midnight, Corvus Glaive, Cull Obsidian, and a horde of Outriders to clear a path for them to The Seventh Stone.
"These things again." Okoye said still a little freaked out by them ever since the battle in Wakanda last month while slashing one with her spear.
"Wow. I thought when we fought Killmonger was the toughest fight of my life!" Everett screamed out shooting The Outriders with a gun from Wakanda.
"Do not worry, friend. These things aren't as tough as they seem!" M'Baku told Ross while he killed one with his club.
"We just have to hold them off until our friends take care of the threat outside!" Nakia screamed out shooting The Outriders with her ring blades.
"Bah! Hurry up you mindless things!" Maw screamed out to The Outriders. He was tired of waiting for a path to be cleared, and starting to think what he should do when they get The Seventh Stone. He would normally just obey his master and give it to him, but he was getting tired of Thanos' poor treatment of him, and began to think about what he could do with the power of the Stones.
"We must be patient, brother." Midnight said to Maw who just scoffed at her.
"Patient?! I tire of waiting and continually being mistreated by Thanos. He only brought us back to do his bidding! He has never appreciated my genius!" Maw exclaimed out proudly.
"What are you saying, brother?" Glaive asked confused to where Maw was going with this.
"Nothing that concerns you. Let's just continue on with the task at hand." Maw said bitterly.
"Wow! These things are fun to melt!" The Grandmaster exclaimed while melting several Outriders with his melt stick.
"Oh they are fun to test my blaster on I traded with some people from a galaxy far away!" The Collector exclaimed while shooting The Outriders with his blaster.
"These things are gross!" Wong said out loud as he used portals to cut The Outriders in half.
"You got that right!" Kraglin screamed out while using Yondu's arrow to attack The Outriders.
"They are. But I'm sure we can handle them. After all, even if they get past us, they still have Valkyrie and sister waiting for them near the lab. Assuming they don't kill each other first. Oh and Sharon, as soon as our friends give the word, Sif will come in with the army when its time." Loki informed Sharon as he used his dagger to cut the throats of The Outriders.
"Sounds good. Maybe you're not as bad as we thought?" Sharon asked laughingly while shooting The Outriders with her pistol.
"I should hope not." Loki said rolling his eyes as he continued to fight The Outriders.
"Enough! They're just stalling! Let's find another way to get inside." Maw ordered to The Black Order as they went back outside and looked for another way in.
"That's not good. Sister and Valkyrie, you may be expecting a pretentious little alien man and his group of zealots headed your way." Loki informed to Hela and Valkyrie as he and the allies continued to fight The Outriders that were still coming in.
"Copy that. You ready?" Valkyrie asked sarcastically to Hela.
"I am. Just do your part." Hela told Valkyrie while summoning her battle helmet.
"Hear me and rejoice! You should give us the Stone now unless you wish to die by our hands!" Maw threatened out as he and The Black Order broke into the side of the building and made their way to the lab. "Clear us a path through these Asgardians." Maw ordered to The Outriders they brought with them.
The Outriders charged at Valkyrie and Hela to fight them. Valkyrie raised her Dragon Fang sword and began to slash them. Hela summoned two swords and began to slash at them as well.
While Valkyrie and Hela were distracted fighting The Outriders, Maw and The Black Order broke into the lab and found two boxes: A metal box and a wooden box.
"Which one contains the Stone?" Midnight asked almost stressed about the battle.
"They both look like they could be the Stone. Here, you and Glaive take the wooden box. Obsidian and I will take the metal box." Maw ordered to Midnight. Though he HIGHLY believed The Seventh Stone was in the metal box and he began to think he just might betray Thanos and rule the galaxy as he was destined to do with it.
"Are we to split up then?" Glaive asked to Maw, not sure what was going on.
"Yes. We'll both go out in different ways so they'll have a hard time knowing who to follow. We'll meet back up with Thanos." Maw told The Black Order as they exited the lab.
Midnight and Glaive went out the north of the building and Maw and Obsidian started to go south, before they were stopped by their enemies.
"Going somewhere?" Valkyrie asked sarcastically while standing with Hela. They had defeated all The Outriders that were sent to fight them and now they prepared to go after Maw and Obsidian next.
"Ah yes! I am, anyway! Obsidian, prove yourself by killing these two idiotic Asgardians!" Maw ordered out as he levitated away with the metal box and left a panicking Obsidian to deal with Valkyrie and Hela.
Despite being outnumbered, Obsidian put up a decent fight as his hammer was very deadly. He managed to knock Hela down for a moment by extending it, and then knocked Valkyrie down with it, and then tried to stab her in the chest. But at that moment, Hela got back up and came up behind Obsidian and decapitated him with her sword before he could stab Valkyrie.
"Wow, I never thought I would be thanking you for anything." Valkyrie shockingly told Hela as she helped her up off the ground.
"And I never thought I would be saving you either. But even The Goddess of Death can put that aside for situations like this." Hela laughingly said to Valkyrie who just rolled her eyes.
"Great. Guess we better let Loki know they have the boxes." Valkyrie said sighing.
"Oh right! Brother those fools have the boxes! What do we do now?" Hela asked to Loki over the comm.
"Oh that's just wonderful! We're about done downstairs. You and Valkyrie come meet us down here so we can regroup." Loki told them sighing.
"Now what, Loki?" Sharon asked unsure of what to do.
"Now we wait for them to get down here and then we go to Sif to get the army ready. I think our friends will need them pretty soon." Loki told Sharon before one last Outrider came up behind him, but was stopped by Ava using her phasing to kill it.
"Why thank you!" Loki told Ava expressing his gratitude of not being killed.
"Sure." Ava said accepting Loki's thanks.
"We're here, brother. Now what?" Hela asked as she and Valkyrie made it downstairs to the rest of the allies.
"Now you follow me and Sharon to the army not too far from here and get ready for battle." Loki told everyone as he and Sharon led them to the army. He suspects they'll be needed any minute now when Thanos no doubts brings in his.
"Sounds good, man!" Korg exclaimed as he and Miek followed them.
Hope you all liked that! Next chapter will see the two armies face off against each other.
