CHAPTER 6: BATTLE OF MANHATTAN 2.0 part two
PREVIOUSLY:
Just before the blades of their bayonets could make contact with his sides he took a quick step backwards and allowed the two dead brained aliens to stab themselves through the gut.
Percy snorted once more.
He whipped out his guns once more and took off running to another area that had a large concentration of Chitauri invaders.
He skid to a stop and fired two shots into the head of an alien that was about to fire off a shot into the back of the unsuspecting captain who was fending off two other aliens killing the foot soldier and getting a nod of thanks from Steve.
The sound of a repulsor blaster going off rang through Percy's ears making him turn to his back where the sound came from where he saw two Chitauri's laying on the asphalt with gaping holes in their chest where purple blood flowed from freely.
His comm crackled to life, where the voice of Tony stark came from "I'm still waiting on that thank you" the billionaire quipped sarcastically.
Percy rolled his eyes at the Iron Man but his lips twitched up was into a smile, "I'll pay for our next meal if we come out of this alive" he replied back before shutting off his comm link.
Percy made to turn around but was stopped short as a loud roar echoed through the air.
NOW:
Percy rubbed his ears vigourously to get rid of the ringing noise in his eardrums, after con concluding that the ringing would not go anywhere anytime soon he gave up on that venture.
He looked up to the sky and where the noise came from before his jaw immediately unhinged at what he saw.
"What the hell is that?!" the voice of Clint Barton (*sigh* or Michael) nearly screamed over the comm links, "That is freaking cool!" Percy exclaimed with glee making the other avengers in their various point of activity all over Manhattan sigh at his reasoning.
There in the sky was what appeared to be a strange mixture between a Leviathan and a caterpillar, it was covered in golden, silver armour with turrets and other forms of heavy ammunition attached to its backs and side.
Oh it also had Chitauri bikers coming out of the sides…and it was flying…and they were twelve of them.
"Awesome or not, we have to take down that thing" Steve's commanding voice came over the communication device, "Well that thing looks mean enough to wrestle with and all but I'm sorta busy with the ever increasing influx of foot soldiers over here" Percy replied as he bisected a Chituari from the waist.
"Not a problem soldier, is anyone else…" the Captain was cut off by a booming war cry, "FOR ASGARD!" the Norse god of thunder cried out as he slammed into the side of the 'Leviapillar' (his words not mine) with large tendrils of lighting surrounding his form.
The impact caused a large boom causing the creature to explode into bits and pieces of gore that rained down on the streets of Manhattan.
Percy grimaced as a large piece of the thing's intestine fell right in front of him with a plop causing a glob of its thick, viscous green blood to splash on his face.
"I think that we're covered in that aspect" Percy said to the captain dryly but did not get a response.
Sighing in irritation at the thought of how he would get rid of all the gunk on his suit, he readied his Kitanna blade just as another batch of alien invaders came his way.
WITH HAWKEYE:
The son of Apollo dodged under a wild swing of a Chitauri biker who had been unceremoniously thrown off his bike thereby forcing him to rely on his fists.
He swept the larger man (?) off his feet sending said man crashing to the ground on his back before shoving an arrow into his eyeball all the way to his brain.
The invader thrashed about violently but was quickly silenced as the archer pushed the arrow deeper into his skull.
Hawkeye quickly got up and in a remarkable (almost impossible) display of hand speed had another arrow nocked and aimed at another biker, an arrow which he promptly released sending it into the skull of the biker.
Clint huffed in frustration, it seemed that his own area of action was filled with these Chitauri bikers, he had yet to encounter anything other than said bikers and quite frankly it was grating on his nerves.
His demigod senses tingled and he jumped out of the way just in time to avoid being run over by a familiar bull man.
The son of Apollo immediately broke into a cold sweat as he saw the monster that had almost killed him some years ago in the battle of Manhattan when Kronos' forces were invading.
Huh, how ironic.
He was broken out of his musings by the son of Pasiphae's bellow of rage forcing him to dodge to the side once more to avoid being run through by those wickedly sharp horns.
Apparently the Minotaur had learnt from his first attempt and quickly stretched his arms to the side and delivering a harsh clothesline in the process causing the archer to spin in a vertical circle before smacking his face on the asphalt.
Clint groaned in pain and was vaguely aware that his nose was broken but regardless of the pain, he still managed to roll to the left to avoid being stomped even further into the ground by the Bull man's feet.
The Minotaur bellowed in frustration and despite the searing hot pain Clint was feeling he managed to joke to himself that the thing was telling him to stay still so that it could smash him into a pulp.
He sighed…Percy was influencing him way too much (duh).
He hauled himself up to his feet and fired an electric arrow to the Minotaur's chest.
As expected, the arrow being made of mortal metals passed through the son of Pasiphae's chest harmlessly but the electricity on the other hand shocked the abomination so hard its hairs stood on end. The Minotaur collapsed to its knees in exhaustion but before the archer could capitalize on that, the creature slammed its clenched fist into his chest sending him on a short flight, a short flight that was put to an end as he slammed harshly, back first into the side of a BMW convertible.
The son of Apollo's vision became blurry as he swam in and out of the realm of consciousness, he could vaguely make out the form of the Minotaur getting up from its kneeling position and lumbering towards him with murderous intent as clear as day in his black bead eyes.
Before anything else could be done, a loud roar which no doubt could be heard all over Manhattan echoed through the air.
The son of Pasiphae halted in confusion but its unasked question was answered as a huge green fist slammed into its jaw from the right sending it on a flight of its own until it stopped as it slammed into a truck.
After the truck was cut in half of course.
The Minotaur shook its head to clear out the haze that usually occurred when one was punched in the right part of the face by a professional.
Before it could clear out said haze from its eyes, another green fist smashed into the left side of his face sending its head back as its vision got even more fuzzy than before.
The Minotaur was grabbed by its throat making it wheeze in pain at the pressure being applied to its throat before it was hefted up to meet a pair of bright toxic green eyes, "I'm angry, you won't like me when I'm angry" the Hulk said in its deep voice before lifting the Greek monster even higher than before and slamming it head first to the asphalt.
The son of Pasiphae's head was crushed like a grape as it impacted with the hard asphalt causing bits of gore to fly about before it promptly burst into golden dust.
The hulk walked over to the slumped form of Hawkeye who was staring at the golden bits of the monster which had tried to kill him twice now. He looked up to see the Hulk who was studying his as if he were a piece of breakable pottery.
"I'm a bit miffed I didn't kill that dumbass myself…and the fact that you went psycho on the carrier, but considering how awesome that spectacle was I'm willing to let it pass this once" he quipped.
"You hurt?" the Hulk asked his downed team mate, "Nah, I'll be alright" he waved the green mutant off before grimacing at the movement. The Hulk studied him a bit longer before shrugging and jumping into the air where he landed on the head of one of those 'Leviapillars' and proceeding to smash its head in.
Clint grumbled a bit as he concentrated before a golden glow covered him and healed all his wounds, he stood up and picked up his fallen bow before jumping back into action.
WITH PERCY:
Percy withdrew his sword from the dead body of the Chitauri general, after he had killed off all the Chitauri foot soldiers and bikers that came his way he had encountered two Chitauri generals and long story short the fight was one of the most awesome fights he had fought in a while.
His pressed his comm deeper into his ear, "I've cleared out my area Cap, do I stand guard here or do I move to another area?" he asked Captain America.
There was a bit of silence as if the Captain was contemplating on his choice before he finally spoke, "Head to the Hudson river, there're a few civilians there who couldn't evacuate on time" he answered with a huff that indicated that he was in combat.
"Roger that, hehe, get it Rogers?" Percy joked over the comm but was answered by all his team mates at once, "That's not funny" they all deadpanned making him huff but regardless he began to make his way to the river Hudson.
As he ran towards that direction, his eyes fell on a Maserati Spyder that was parked on the side of the road making him come to an abrupt halt, he looked around for any possible witnesses and on seeing none he shrugged to himself before hopping into the vehicle where he hot wired it before taking off towards the Hudson at blazing speeds.
As he drove, he idly wondered whether he would see the Hudson river god again just like all those years ago in the Battle of Manhattan…a battle that was fought in Manhattan…and now another was being fought in Manhattan…with him heading to the same river.
How the hell did he not notice this!
AN: Heya guys, short chapter but meh, considering the fact no one asked me for updates I'll assume that I'm early with this update, or that means you guys are getting your riot equipment ready. If the latter is the case then I beg for your forgiveness but I was busy with University stuff, ugh I have seven different term papers to write (well three are done but that's not the point!) right now I'm supposed to be writing my term paper on Phil112(i.e. Introduction to socio-political philosophy) but I decided to put that on hold for you guys….so please review, that will make me doing this worthwhile. And I kinda started a new story, so yeah…check it out(?).
REVIEW!
ALTAIR25 OUT!
OH and happy Boxing Day!
