Peter's relief was short lived. The longer Fisk and the woman used the rings, the more adept they became at using them. The added manpower was certainly helping but they were only slightly closer to retrieving the rings. Groot and Rocket alternated between the two, but Groot's lack of resistance to both lighting and fire was starting to be problematic and he ended up moving further back and acting as a safety net, plucking everyone out of harms way when needed.

Steve looked over at Peter. "You, Miles, and Johnny see if you can get to Fisk. You're the only ones that are truly fireproof. The rest of us are getting burned the minute we get too close. I don't care if you have to tackle him and sit on him to get the ring off."

Peter nodded and made his way across the field to where Johnny corralling Fisk. On the plus side, aliens weren't falling out of the sky so they were doing moderately better than they had been the last time a battle took place on this field. He landed next to Miles. "Tackle him. Forget webs, just use brute strength. Between the two of us, even with the ring, we should be able to get him down. Then we'll work on getting the ring off."

Miles nodded. "I always wanted to play football...I guess now is the chance."

Peter grinned, "Just consider the ring to be the football."

Launching themselves at Fisk, they forced him to the ground. Using all the strength he had, Miles kept Fisk on the ground while Peter used the waldos to brace himself as he tugged on Fisk's hand and the ring. He had worked the ring partially off when he felt another change in pressure. Pulling on the ring he looked around and saw a brightness appear a couple yards away. Panic seeped in and he doubled his efforts in obtaining the ring until he felt himself pushed back and pinned to the ground.

Michael smiled as he took in his surroundings. Most of the individuals fighting to obtain the rings he had faced before. He had manipulated the gravity with one of the rings immediately around him to ensure he wouldn't be accosted after teleporting. There was always a few moments of disorientation that he experienced when using the ring to teleport. That had worked in his favor because it had served to restrain not only Fisk but the boy he had faced before. He covered the short distance to Fisk and reached down to retrieve the ring from his immobilized hand. Slipping it on his finger he could feel it almost connecting to the other rings, feeding off their power.

He look around the area for the other ring. Seeing his quarry he extended manipulated the gravity further, pinning the combatants and knocking a shield and bullets that were headed his way to the ground. He had learned much about the rings after his first confrontation. His control over their power was almost flawless. He walked over to the woman and retrieved the ring. Smiling at her, he slipped it on his finger and let loose a surge of electricity far surpassing anything she had been able to manage. He looked at his opponents as lightening surged through them, enjoying the image of their immobilized bodies writhing in response to the electricity.

Tony's face paled when he saw Michael appear. Using the tablet he connected to Vision. "Do what you can to seal Pepper and Morgan in the most secure spot you can find and tell Wanda to blow through the wall. He's here." He glanced over at MJ as it dawned on her what he was taking about. Knowing Vision would take care of it he flipped over to Fury's channel. "He's here."

"Well, if you and Peter hadn't forgotten to put in a back door, Maria, Goose, Remy, and I wouldn't be locked in ops." He watched Goose jump up to the ceiling and paw at an air vent. "Well, scratch that. Goose may make it out. I'll send him to help." He looked over at Maria. "Give Maria a couple more minutes and she may make it through."

"Any update on Carol's ETA?"

"They're on their way but they don't know he's here and I can't reach them." Fury looked at the monitors. Steve, Bucky, Peter and Miles were moving but the others still seemed frozen. "Tony, we'll get them back up." He saw Tony's transmission end, knowing he was focused on what was going on outside. Maria had looked over at him expectantly as she and Remy were working on getting through the steel door that had rolled into place. "Let's hear it for the Super Soldier formula. Those four are the only ones that seem to be able to move against whatever it is he's doing."

"It's electromagnetic manipulation, right? He's probably messing with the gravity." Remy looked at the two he was trapped with. "It's not so different that what I do although mine is more electrostatic manipulation. Same concept." Remy twirled a pen through his fingers and jammed it into the frame. Seconds later it exploded, weakening the seam. "We're going to run out of pens before we get through."

Peter strained against the invisible force holding him to the ground. It felt like his muscles were ripping. He had managed to turn his head and could see Miles moving but Johnny was pinned to the ground. Getting his knees under him he could see Steve and Bucky in a similar position. They could move but barely. Another bolt of electricity surged through the ground, running through everyone.

"Peter, your suit is at its maximum capacity. If you experience another surge before off loading you'll do irreparable damage."

Peter grimaced as he pulled one of his hands up. "Load as much as you can to a web grenade." Watching the charge max out he hit the trigger, grenade landing on the glowing man. It was enough of a distraction that it allowed Steve and Bucky to get to their feet. Before he could do anything more, a red streak flew past him, letting off a red flare that hit its mark. Wanda landed in front of their enemy and hit him with another blast. It was enough to break his concentration. The force pinning everyone disappeared and Peter surged fully to his feet. He off loading the remaining built up energy and shot grenades towards their enemy. His charges were joined by multiple weapons fire, a shield, and energy blasts from Vision, Wanda, and Quill.

A burst of light erupted and suddenly there were dozens of targets. Karen piped into Peter's ear. "Peter, I believe those are projections but I'm having difficulty distinguishing the real target."

"Fine, target everything." He flipped up and landed a dozen charged web grenades in rapid fire. Several of the holograms flickered. Miles mimicked the motions, although his taser webs did not carry as much of a punch. Still, several of the holograms flickered in response to the charges. Peter felt another change in pressure and cringed, not sure if they could take much more. A beam of light flew to the ground in front of him, fading to reveal the god of thunder, a formidable Pegasus and a Valkyrie he would not want to meet in a dark alley, and the trickster god who very much looked capable of leveling the damage he had years ago in New York.

Natasha jogged up next to him, armed with one of Rockets guns. "Looks like the cavalry finally showed up." Two more beams of light landed revealing Carol and Sam. Natasha could feel the sigh of relief that Peter let out, inwardly knowing she felt the same. "Let's see if we can end this."

"Pete..."

Peter put his hand up to his ear. "Dad? Are you ok? Are MJ, Morgan, and Pepper ok?"

"Everyone is fine. I think I have an idea but we have got to get the rings off."

Peter frowned. "That's what we've been trying to do."

"Yeah, you've got help now. Just make sure everyone knows we've got to get the rings in order to stop him." Tony tightened his grip on the tablet as the orange portal opened revealing Strange. "Got it kid?" He swallowed, leaving the rest that he wanted to say stuck in his throat.

"Got it." Peter looked over at Natasha. "Dad has a plan but we have to get the rings."

She nodded. "Let's rally the troops then."
