It was a battle that could not avoid collateral damage. Peter didn't want to see innocent Nigerians die; but they would. Mephisto and kill monger had willed this. It would play out the way it had to. There were epic forces of dark and light going at it here. Nothing could change that either. For the longest time New York had been the world to Peter. Both as Peter Parker and Spider-Man. His personal and superhero struggles had been in New York. They weren't supposed to go beyond the five boroughs of the world's capital city. They just weren't. But they had. With his becoming a super spy everything had changed. And swiftly so. Not in a bad way; but in complex yet wondrous ways. Agent Spider-Man had to be something more than a superhero. He had to be a soldier; a warrior. He had to be able to make the hard choices; as his parents had to save the world. That was all part of his world now.
The opposing forces collided in Abuja. It was a bloody spectacle to be sure. Peter fought right beside black panther as he lashed out with claws and unleashed potent kinetic energy. He bashed away too; now with shield fist and foot. He'd watched Rogers shield fight many times. And he could do it faster and stronger than he could. Trust those instincts Pete. Just trust them.
He shield fought like never before. It became an offensive and defensive weapon. The shield was just as indestructible as cap's longtime one. But this time the symbol of the spider smashed into the faces and bodies of the doers of evil. It would be the spider that they would last see before death took them. This was who Spider-Man had to be now. Peter still didn't fully understand what that would mean; but figured in time that he would.
He threw it for the first time as an offensive projectile. And just like with Rogers the shield did what it was designed to do. Both had been designed expertly by Starks. And both were up to the challenges.
His spider strength made his shield throws that much harder to avoid. Bones smashed as his shield hammered into baddie bodies and bounced around. He combined this with his other signature spider physical abilities and his bad ass factor went up quite a bit. I love being Spidey!
He did his "way of spider" thing and thinned out the enemy around him. Panther did so as well; Shuri the other panther did similar. Tasha was on his other side kicking baddie butt too. This is what it means to be alive! Huzzah!
His shield returned from its ricocheting. I'm the metal frisbee master! Hell yeah! He threw it again at more baddies but it was a feint. The baddies ducked as it came to them. Peter shot a web line to the shield mid throw and brought it right back to his arm. He then spider leaped into them and beat them down. Ha! Even cap can't do that!
The fight picked up fast. It was indeed getting epic. Explosions sounded all around as mortars, baddie mortars, starting shelling capital structures and dwellings. Panther "it's the government! They've betrayed their own people." You gotta be kidding me! Peter "what do we do?" "Keep fighting!"
That won't be hard. The enemy came nonstop. The urban combat scenario remained tight. Peter kept his shield with him for now. There were too many moving parts right now.
Panther's guard kicked butt too with vibranium spears and other weapons. They were thinning them out with power. But still the enemy came. Mortars then hit the streets near to where the heroes fought. The ground shook and heroes were stunned and knocked from their feet.
The mortars sent out shrapnel. Peter's sense made him bring up his shield in time to block a good amount of it. He pushed forward. Tasha Sabra and Bucky were fighting hard to his right while the Wakandans did so to his left.
Then the Nigerian air power, choppers, came in... oh boy! They opened fire on them. They assaulted from two directions. I'm no war expert but it looks like they're trying to pin us down. At least that's what they do in the movies.
Heroes were stunned and knocked from their feet. Peter's shield took the brunt of it for him; and combined with his sense he stayed on his feet. Spider agility helped too.
More baddies came. Kill monger was ready for this all along... it was the only conclusion possible. It didn't matter now. The hero force was committed.
Baddie air came in again... Peter had a bad feeling about this one; not just Spidey sense but bad feeling like in Star Wars bad feeling... and that was never good! And since Disney owns us both now I can say that!
A baddie bird just blew up... before it could fire on them. What the? Falcon flew through the fireball and hit another baddie bird with a wing tipped rocket to take it out too. Several more baddie birds blew. Hulk! The massive green guy jumped from baddie bird to the next and ripped them apart. Holy hulking monsters Batman!
Then, to the far right flank of the heroes, Peter saw them: nomad and Wolverine were now in the fray kicking butt. Cap was a near blur with his Wakandan shields taking down the baddies. Logan slashed away much as Peter had seen him do many times; now along with his daughter. The cavalry has arrived!
Hulk destroyed another baddie bird then dropped down near Spidey and bashed away more baddies. "Hulk help spider friend!" "No complaints here Doctor banner." "No puny banner!" Hulk then smashed jihadi and hell things with a double fist strike to further make his angry point known there. "Uh, right on there mister hulk." Hulk smiled at that and bashed away a few more before picking up Peter. "Now spider friend and hulk smash a few more!" "Sure—" hulk threw Spidey at the enemy before he could finish. Peter yelled with fear and excitement as he crashed into more baddies shield first. Hulk had his back.
Peter pushed the fight forward.
