Chapter Ten

Releasing the Guardians

God how he hated this so much.

He grimaced as he leapt forward with his team, leapt forward to meet their opponents, leapt forward to meet the love of his life in battle.

The worst part of this whole thing wasn't that he was about to cause pain to Tsuna. No, that wasn't the worst of it all. What was the worst of it all was seeing the tears fall down his face like twin waterfalls.

He could tell that Tsuna knew exactly what was happening, what was going on, and that they had little ability at all to stop it. He had to help him. Peter had to help him and get him free.

He was already leaving Loki to Odin, Thor, and Reborn. Those three would be more than capable of handling the god while the others gave backup. He just had to focus on getting all of Tsuna and his guardians back on their side.

So he grit his teeth and allowed his forearm to take the fist of Tsuna before he slammed his foot into the other's stomach. He needed to make sure that he knocked him out with as little damage as possible.

"Keep the damage to a minimum! We need to just knock them out cold!" He shouted to the others, remembering what Thor had told them about Natasha performing cognitive recalibration on Hawkeye the first time they had ever fought against the God of Mischief.

"Easier…said…than…done!" White Tiger grunted as she ducked and dodged the stabs of the tridents. Mukuro was ferocious and there was no longer any holding back. This man was going full out and Ava was unsure of whether she was able to hold out against him let alone beat him.

"No kidding!" Nova screamed out as he dodged a bolt of lightning and then dodging the bolt of pure heat that came from the white haired boxer. "These guys are why stronger than I thought!"

"We knew that already." Powerman growled as he held his arms crossed and took blow after blow from Hibari. The hits were knocking him backwards and sending him towards the edge of Stark Tower. He wouldn't last for much longer like this, he had to find a way to deal with this soon.

"This doesn't help that we are outnumbered." Iron Fist gasped out as he dodged the swing of a sword before leaping back and away from the blast radius of a stick of dynamite. "How are we to even these odds?"

"Have you already forgotten what you were given?" Colonello raised a brow at them with a tilted head. "We just gave them to you!"

"Oh." Nova blinked for a long moment before a grin split his face. "We can use them? Even though we're in our Hero Costumes?"

Colonello shrugged his shoulders. "We're so high up and we've set up a perimeter, that it should be safe. Just don't go wild." He warned.

"We'll keep copters away and shoot out any cameras we see." Lal added as she hefted one of her many sniper guns, ready to shoot out any cameras she did indeed see. Knowing Stark, there would soon be a plethora of camera vying for a shot of the fight going down.

"Right, then we just summon our flames into our rings and stick it into the box, right?" Powerman questioned as he pulled out his sunny yellow box. He wasted hardly anytime as he dodged a swing of a tonfa, summoning out the beast in the box. "Holy Rhinoceros!" he shouted as an albino Rhinoceros appeared in front of him, taking the hit of the weapon easily.

"Oh, that's so cool!" Nova shouted in excitement before pulling his own green box out and slipping his ring on at the same time. "Come on out badass animal!" He shouted as he slammed his lit ring into the box's ring slot. He frowned unhappily as three black bats appeared in front of him, all squeaking at him. "Ok, not exactly what I was expecting." He said before his eyes widened at a bolt of lightning heading right at him and he wasn't going to move fast enough to dodge.

He clenched his eyes shut in expectation of pain, only to open them back up when it didn't come. He blinked in surprise as the bats had taken a triangle formation and were emitting a shield made of lightning, blocking the attack. "Ok, that is rad." He grinned as he prepared to move forward to attack the Sun and Lightning Vongola Guardians.

Iron Fist hummed happily at his friends as he followed suit, releasing the beast in his own box. "Well, this is an unexpected surprise." He said as he looked at the Komodo Dragon with awe, the beast being so long but he knew that it could move quickly. "Alright, let's see what you can do." He stated and moved forward with the dragon at his side, smirking as waves of flames swept from it and at the Storm and Rain he was fighting. Their movements slowed, mostly just the storm than the rain's own though.

White Tiger quickly slammed her own ring in and soon a beautiful Panther leapt out in front of her and bit the handle of the trident trying to skewer her. She was as surprised when the big cat leapt in front of her, grabbed the trident by the handle, and proceeded to disintegrate it to dust. Mukuro leapt back with a frown on his face as his trident fell to pieces. "Good Kitty." She pat the now purring animal on the head.

Spider-man stared at Tsuna with saddened eyes as he slammed his own ring into his box, pushing as much flames into it as possible. He blinked as a roar came barreling out of his box with a large figure following it. He could only stare at the black tuff tail of the big cat as it waved back and forth. He had only seen one in pictures, never in real life, but seeing a black Lion- fully grown – was intimidating as hell. It also lit a fire in his chest as that dark mane rustled in the breeze, wisps of flames wafting off of it.

The lion looked over its shoulder at him, bright amber eyes staring through him to his soul before nodding its head and turning back towards their opponent. Spidey shook his head before charging up his web shooters and firing off shots, watching as the nimble body of his boyfriend leapt and flipped out of the way. "Alright then, let's pin him down." He said to the giant cat, his gut saying it would understand him.

As expected, the Lion nodded before the two split apart, intent on pining the other male down from either side.

Odin stood tall as he faced his youngest, eye narrowed in disappointment. "Loki, release your hold on the Midgardians and return to Asgard to face justice." He demanded at once, slamming his staff against the roof of the building, leaving a small crater.

Loki rolled his eyes before he turned and smirked at the older man. "You cannot ask such a foolish thing and expect me to do so. I am Loki God of Mischief!" He exclaimed dramatically, throwing his arms out to the sides and making his cape wave wildly behind him. "And you Odin of Asgard will fall at my feet." He grinned as his own staff to appear in his hand, the tip glowing blue as he began to gather his power.

Only to blink when a blast of yellow slammed into his shoulder, sending him stumbling backwards and losing his concentration. "You dare to take something of mine." A dark aura caused all of the Asgardians to freeze in place with wide eyes. "You are going to give them back." He snarled as the hitman stepped forward, gun in hand and eyes shadowed.

Loki frowned before a smirk took over his face. "And what will a Midgardian like yourself possibly accomplish against me?" he questioned, his scepter settling in his hands once more, preparing to block an attack if needed.

Reborn glared at him as one eye appeared in the shadows, glowing a bright yellow as his aura blasted to life around him. "Simple." He took another step forward as the gun leveled at Loki's head. "I'll tear you apart limb by limb." With that he moved.

Loki could only gasp as a fist slammed into his stomach, sending him soaring backwards and into the ground of the roof. He grunted as he pushed himself up on his elbows to look at the mortal with new eyes. HE could see the yellow energy swirling around him as he walked forward. This was not a mortal he should mess around with.

He smirked though as the challenge appeared in front of him. Much like Thor, he liked a challenge, but he also knew when to back down and get out when needed. He didn't need to perish because he got in over his head after all.

This time though, this mortal was proving to be a challenge already as he hadn't seen him move at all. Not even a flicker of movement had told Loki where the other had gone to. He could see why this mortal had caused Thor so much trouble now.

"Maybe I should have used you instead of that loud one." He stood up and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth as he released his scepter and instead summoned two knives. He rarely used his knives except for extreme cases. He dismissed his cape and lessoned his armor so that his arms were bare except for golden bands on his upper arms, his shirt turning into a turtleneck tank top that held scales for the armor plating. His helmet disappeared to instead become a headband with horns that were smaller by quite a bit to his normal helmet.

"Oh, he's getting serious." Thor said as his eyes widened in surprise at the outfit. He hadn't seen it since the two of them had faced against Hela when their father's seal had broken. Now to see him take upon the appearance once more…this spoke of a great battle but of possible loss. "Should we interfere?" He questioned himself.

"Allow the Midgardian to fight." Odin spoke up next, keeping his eyes on the two combatants. "You spoke of the might of this Midgardian and how he managed to fell you. Allow him to do the same to Loki."

He didn't agree with his father but he would hold back for now. If he felt that Loki was in mortal danger, then he would interfere.

Loki meanwhile was keeping his eyes trained on the other, ready to move. With his change in appearance he had changed his abilities as well. He was focusing all of his energy into physical strength, speed, and sight. He needed to keep up and this was a tactic he had used on Hela and Thor in the past, competing easily with them like this.

Reborn didn't flinch at all at the change and instead moved forward, intent on sending the asshole flying again. Only to stare as his gun clashed with a knife, the smirking god close up now. "Don't think this wardrobe change will save you." Reborn growled out as he brought his other hand to shoot his second gun, only to grunt when the bullet was blocked by the second knife.

"Don't think bringing out another weapon will save you." Loki mocked as he pushed the hitman away and swung his knife towards his throat. The attack was dodged when the hitman flipped backwards, foot colliding with a chin on his way out of the way. Loki didn't allow himself to stumble this time and instead reached out with a knife and carved a line of blood along the retreating appendage.

Reborn showed no pain as he crouched and shot his gun, allowing sun flames to consume it. He grinned when the bullet tore through the knife and into the god's shoulder. "Don't underestimate the ability of activation." He spat as he leapt forward, gun meeting the second knife. His eyes widened slightly though when the broken knife disappeared and a new one appeared just cutting below his eyes.

"Don't underestimate my ability to summon new weapons." Loki spat back as he watched the blood fall down the other's face. "Just because you mortals are unable to create your weapons on the spot does not mean I can't." He did not speak of how he took the ability from the Mists that he had captured. He would continue to use it as well as it was useful to him in many ways.

"That's new." Thor commented with wide eyes. He knew his brother normally only had the two knives at any one time. Once they broke he resorted to his scepter. To be able to bring up more was something he had not seen before.

"It seems he has picked up some new tricks from the Midgardians." Odin stated. "He will be even more dangerous now than he was before."

Thor could only nod his head in agreement, watching as the two pushed up against each other, trying to make the other yield. HE was unsure of who would win this battle as he had lost to both before and so knew the might they wielded.

'Move, move, move, move.' Was all White Tiger was thinking as she dodged the stabs of the trident. The other teen was fast, sure, and vicious with each strike. She couldn't believe how easily he was able to keep up with her enhanced body movements, but he was. From what he had told her too, it was all from just training and fighting with the rest of the guardians.

He was a monster and he would have been worse if he had been enhanced like she was. She shook her head as she growled and grabbed hold of the staff part of the trident, pulling on it harshly to bring him stumbling forward.

Only to have herself stumble forward when he ripped the staff from her hands and the prongs heading right for her chest.

She blinked in surprise when two black paws plowed into his head, sending him falling sideways and the prongs skidding across her shoulder. "Thanks Bast." She said to the panther with a smile. The fanged smile was her reply before they returned their focus onto Mukuro, his glowing blue eyes sending chills down her spine as they narrowed at her. "We need to knock him out, so we better work together." She said to Bast, knowing that the big cat would understand her.

The beast growled low in its throat as Mukuro stood up, ready to attack and protect their partner. With that thought in mind, Bast leapt forward to knock the male down so that their partner could hit him hard. They snarled though when his attack was dodged and the boy lashed out with their trident, racking it across her ribs and allowing wisps of storm flames to leak from her.

White Tiger roared in anger for her Box Animal and lunged at the other teen. "You bastard! I'll make you pay for that!" She roared as her claws racked across his face, leaving jagged lines of blood from his left eye down to his lip. He should hope it wouldn't scar later but she couldn't feel sorry at the moment.

Especially as it allowed Bast to jump onto his shoulders and knocked him to the ground due to his astonishment to the pain of her attack.

He thrashed under the panther but the creature didn't budge, making White Tiger smirk. "Alright then, time for you to take a nap." She said as she slammed her foot into the other's head, causing him to fall unconscious.

At the same time she heard a scream of despair.

"Whoa! We gotta get him to hold still." Powerman grunted under the hits of the metal tonfa. He had been up against powerful opponents before, ones that knocked him back easily and pushed him further than his limits actually were.

Hibari Kyoya was right up there with all of those other opponents, only he wasn't enhanced like any of the ones he had fought. Rhino, Venom, and the Green Goblin were all examples of powerful opponents that were enhanced. They would have get a run for their money against Hibari just because this teen wasn't enhanced and still he was knocking Powerman around like a rag doll.

"Alright then Teddy, let's get him down and out." He grunted as he pushed against a strike that sent the other teen sliding across the roof. Teddy, the white Rhinoceros bulldozing forward and slammed into the teen, but Hibari had gotten his tonfas up just in time to block the attack and was holding his ground against the giant mammal.

Powerman wasn't wasting his time though as he leapt forward and slammed his fist into the other's head while he was distracted. He grinned victoriously as the other was sent flying into the roof's floor, sliding a little ways away. "That should have him out for…." He blinked in surprise as the teen stood back up, eyes still glowing a bright blue and tonfas up and ready for another attack. "Or not. We've gotta hit him harder."

Hibari leapt forward, a button being pushed on his tonfas allowing spikes to appear on one while a chain lengthened the other. Powerman gasped as the spikes scratched against his skin, not penetrating, but leaving an unwelcomed sensation against his skin. Teddy had the chained wrapped around his horn though and the dark skinned teen could only watch as the beast was lifted up off of the roof and slammed down.

HE yelled in anger as wisps of sun flames leaked away from the beast, but Teddy stood back up as quickly as it could, roaring in anger itself. Hibari looked at the beast with his head tilted, as if his mind was thinking about something.

It didn't matter because in the end, the teen hadn't moved when the Rhino rammed into him, knocking him to the floor and held him there with a large foot against his chest. Powerman grinned as he walked over to the teen and kneeled next to him. The Asian teen still was only staring up at the rhino with a tilted head, as if something in there was working hard. "Let me help you out there man." He said as he slammed his fist down as hard as he could, watching in astonishment as those eyes refused to return to the dark onyx they were before. So with gritted teeth, he continued to slam his fist down until those eyes flicked to onyx and then slid closed.

"He's way too powerful." He muttered before a scream of despair reached his ears.

"This isn't fair!" Nova screamed as he dodged blasts of Lightning and pure solar power. The blasts were coming quickly, more solar than lightning, but still flashing furiously at him. He was just barely dodging and those that he didn't manage, the three bats were able to block by making a shield between them. That was the only reason why he wasn't dead on the ground right now.

He gasped out again as he backpedaled to avoid another blast of sun power, getting off a shot of his own power off. He winced when it blew up some of the gravel from the roof up and into Lambo's eyes. The little boy cried out in pain as he rubbed at his face, trying to get the dirt out of them.

Ryohei quickly leapt in front of the child with his arms crossed in front of him, ready to block and protect his little companion.

'Gotta take Ryohei out first.' Nova thought quickly as he dove down and slammed full force into the boxer, grunting when the other easily held his ground and pushed back against him. "Quill! Drax! Gamora! Get Lambo!" Nova shouted as he pushed harder against the white haired teen, panting heavily at the effort to keep the other engaged.

Luckily the bats were way smarter than normal animals and instantly swooped down and grabbed hold of the child, carrying him up high into the air. The boxer instantly noticed this and turned to grab a hold of the little boy, but Nova wasn't going to allow that. He pushed hard against the boxer as Ryohei lost his concentration and went sliding across the roof. From there Nova gathered energy in his hand and slammed it into the other's forehead.

He watched with worried eyes as the other crumpled to the floor but relaxed a little when there was steady and strong breathing. He turned around to see his bats absorbing the electrical shocks from the little boy into themselves. He flew on over and bit his lip, trying to figure out how he was going to knock the little boy out without being electrocuted. The little boy was shooting off sparks and bolts in a constant stream, but it was absorbed by the bats that seemed to be eating them like it was candy.

He scrunched his nose up in annoyance before sighing. He needed to knock the child out but to do that, he had to touch him and not with his energy blasts. That wouldn't do anything he was sure. He groaned before his eyes snapped back onto the boy in astonishment as the sparks and bolts stopped. The child was panting heavily with sweat falling down his face and tears running from his eyes.

This was going to be his only chance, so he slammed his fist into the child's head, knocking him out.

"I'm so sorry." Nova said as he took Lambo into his arms and cradled him to his chest. He really didn't want to hurt the little guardian but he had no other choice, he ad to release him from the spell Loki had on him the only way they knew how. "I'm so so so sorry." He buried his face into the little afro.

Only to jerk it back up at a heart wrenching and spine tingling scream.

Shou-Lao was a rather intelligent reptile, but then Iron Fist thought it might have had something to do with it being an animal ran on flames. Terrifying thought that was but he was also grateful for the back up when he was busy trying to fight against two opponents that had differing fighting style.

Fighting against a close range fighter while dodging the far range one's attacks was always difficult. He had somehow ended up being the one facing these two and he wondered if these two were the most dangerous out of the lot.

They worked too well together and covered each other easily.

But Shou-Lao, the Komodo Dragon knew exactly where to be to interfere with their attacks as well. So the fight was more like two against two instead two against one. Something he was thankful for when he kicked a stick of dynamite back at Gokudera, watching as the wick was cut by the swordsmen.

That had been a running fad here but he was getting rather exhausted now as he dodged a swipe of sword before avoiding several sticks of dynamite that blew up directly behind him. He allowed the blast to send him forward and at Yamamoto, dodging his katana and landing a hit against his shoulder that caused him to stumble backwards.

The dragon sped across the roof and rammed his tell into the off balanced swordsmen before dodging away from another explosive. They really needed to take one of the out because the damage to the roof and to Iron Fist himself was starting to get out of hand.

His arms were littered with little cuts and burns but nothing serious at the moment, only the amount accumulating on him was concerning. He pushed through though as he slammed a fist into the roof, watching as gravel and cement flew up into the air, connecting with dynamite directly in front of the swordsmen. He grinned as he realized that Yamamoto had been blinded by the attack and leapt passed him, leaving Shou-Lao to knock him down with his tail as he moved in close to the explosive expert. If he could take down the long range fighter, than this battle would become simple and leave the advantage to him.

Only he gasped in surprise when a bomb appeared in front of him and went off. He expected pain and burns, and he got that, only in the form of a flash bomb blinding him. He grit his teeth as he clenched his eyes closed and instead focused on his other senses. He needed to see without being able to see. He could do this and he knew it.

So he focused and calmed his breathing.

A shift in the air and he ducked, avoiding what had to be a bomb as he felt the heat at his back as it went off. He leapt forward, smelling smoke directly in front of him, cigarette smoke. He grinned as he got in close to the bomber, his fist flying forward and connection with a jaw. He followed the hit up with a round house kick to the head, just to be sure that the bomber would be out.

He took a moment then, blinking his eyes open slowly and trying to get the blurs to turn into actual objects. He could see figures moving out of the corner of his eyes but he couldn't make out who they were just yet.

Air moved behind him and he quickly leapt to the right, avoiding what must have been a slice from the swordsman. The Komodo dragon probably couldn't stop him in time but Iron Fist was well versed in fighting without his eyes and so continued to dodge. He just needed to wait until an opening presented itself and then he would knock out the swordsman.

It came with a swing of a tail that slammed into knees.

He couldn't see clearly still but he saw the figure in front of him fall forward, a hand releasing the sword to reach out to catch themselves. He didn't waste a second and slammed a glowing hand into the other's head. He watched with relief and sorrow as the figure folded to the ground, unmoving for the moment.

That's when his head whipped in the direction of a soul wrenching scream that told of despair and rage.

They were dancing in an endless battle of wills. He knew that the two of them were flexible and quick, able to wiggle out of any situation that they were put in. He had seen the other flip and dodge and fly out of attacks like no one else.

He remembered their date not too long ago, of them twirling and flipping and moving together. He remembered catching Tsuna midair before tossing her high again and then the slow movements against each other as the songs slowed.

This was like that, but much more deadly. He knew that, he really did, but at the same time he couldn't help but enjoy the dancing just a little. He would have to get Tsuna to do this with him again when the other male was actually in control of himself.

But for that to happen, Spidey had to knock him out and return those senses to him. With that in mind, he gritted his teeth and shot out a fist, slamming it into the other's stomach just as a foot slammed into his chin.

"Ben!" He cried out for the lion, knowing that he would know what to do at his call. True to form, the lion leapt up and over his head to be in front of the arachnid hero before darting to the side and then behind Tsuna. There his flames flared brilliantly, pushing the boy towards the hero once more.

Spidey didn't waste a second as he allowed his own flames wash over him and power him up enough that he was there to catch Tsuna in his arms. He held tight for a second, holding the squirming body close, before he moved his hands to biceps, holding tight so that he could throw the little body against the concrete.

Except Tsuna managed to wriggle one arm loose, slamming it into Spidey's chest and lessoning the impact of his immediate meet and greet with the ground. From there the boy kicked his feet up, jamming them into the other's face as the hero had leaned over him to try and hold him down, and pushing him away.

He had no choice but to leap away from the Vongola heir to regain his breath and try to clear his somewhat black dotted vision. That last kick out was hard and it had brought forth a headache. "Gotta be faster." He growled before looking at the lion, who was following a leaping Tsuna around, trying to sink his teeth into the boy and pin him down, but the teen is too fast for him to grab a hold of.

No, his head sparked as his world focused and his mind kick started forward with a wave of his flames. He didn't need to be faster than Tsuna, something he wasn't sure he could do without hurting the other. His strength and speed were the same, he hadn't figured out how to stay fast but keep his strength intermediate. If he sped up, his strength would up and he couldn't risk that.

So he had to be smart. HE was incredibly smart and knew that he could do that. So with that thought he leapt backwards before he shot to the side. Ben kept Tsuna busy, continually forcing the boy to leap away from him but towards Spidey. The lion was just as smart as his master and worked just as well with him.

Spidey couldn't help but smile as he appeared directly behind Tsuna, preparing to slam his fist on the other's head to knock him out.

Only to stare in horror as the boy's body stiffened and came to a complete halt. Both Ben and Spidey came to a stop as well, watching as wisps of flames began to tear from the boy. Neither were prepared for the flood of flames to rush out of him nor the soul splitting scream of pain.

Reborn growled as he kept his gun leveled with the Asgardian, eyes flashing yellow as he allowed his power to swamp his body. "Give up Loki, or I will make sure you die." There was a small cut on his cheek and his one of his suit arms had been torn off. This Asgardian, though not as physically strong as Thor, was smart and cunning. He had been able to hit Reborn using his brain and out smarting him at different corners of the battle.

But Reborn was stronger and faster and so dodged most of the attacks or just his jacket took the damage. Though he could feel his reserves of sun flames start to drain more than it had ever in several years. Not since his battle with Thor before he was turned into an Arcobaleno. It was a thrilling feeling but he couldn't rejoice in it like he had back then. There was no time as he had to fight for what was his and make sure they weren't taken from him again.

Loki bore the fruits of Reborn's labor of terminating him. A gunshot wound in his shoulder, left thigh, and one in the stomach. Then he was covered in burns and cuts and abrasions. At this point, Reborn was surprised that the Asgardian was still standing up.

"Give up." He stated again, aiming his gun right between the other's eyes.

Loki smirked even as he fell onto a knee, holding his injured arm to his side tightly. "I'll not give up yet." He stated just as his eyes flashed red. Reborn growled and moved to pull the trigger of his gun, but halted.

A scream of pure torture erupted from his left, where he knew Spider-man was fighting Dame-Tsuna. Where he knew that the hero would save his student. He knew that Spidey would do anything he could to save his student, friend, and sky. He knew it would happen.

But that was only possible if the teen had been given enough time. Time that he now knew he didn't have.

Especially when orange flames converged onto Loki, covering his entire body completely and hiding him from view.

Reborn could only stare in astonishment as the Asgardian moved within the flames, his shadow moving among the flames as he stood back up and spread his arms wide. "Now I shall show you true despair!" Loki cried.

Only for the flames to disburse from his body and leave blood splattering up and out of his mouth.

Reborn could only watch as blood continued to burble out of the god's mouth, that cry of soul shattering pain cutting off into a deadly silence.

A.N. Oh my god! This took forever to write mostly because I wasn't sure how I wanted to write these scenes out. But that's okay, I finally got it figured out. I wanna explained the names for the box animals.

Storm Jaguar- Bast is a goddess and is normally associated with the Jaguar in Marvel Universe. I felt like the Jaguar would be fitting since I made Ava's uncle appear in Wakanda. Can you guess who the uncle is? Also that she's rather fierce and I just felt like the big cat, any big cat really, suited her more. Though I didn't want to use a white tiger cause that's way too obvious and cliché in my opinion. So then the other cliché I liked better was black and white, so white tiger to black jaguar. Seems obvious but also rather nice in my opinion.

Lightning Fruit Bats- Nova doesn't know what type of bats they are but those are the type I chose. The names are self-explanatory as they are the Guardians' names. I thought about a type of bird for a while but decided bats because of the Blade episode against the vampires. I thought it be funny that Nova's ability is strong against vampires in the Ultimate Spider-man. Also I felt like fruit bats were better for Nova because he's not mean like vampire bats can be, he's more of a gentle and outgoing soul in my opinion so something that's more herbivore or omnivore felt better than a carnivore.

Rain Komodo Dragon- Shou-Lao is the dragon that Iron Fist faced and killed to gain his Iron Fist ability. Komodo dragon because I thought it would be better than an actual dragon like Byakuran's and I like the idea of him having something dragon like and deadly like a Komodo dragon. That and Komodo Dragons are notoriously fast and deadly, they can run down just about any prey and if they bite you, the bacteria in their saliva can kill you quickly. I haven't previewed its abilities but I made it to where instead of bacteria it'll be rain flames to slow opponents down.

Sun Rhinoceros – Something powerful like Powerman with thick hide like him. The Name Teddy is a shout out to a quarterback of the Saint's, Powerman's dad's favorite team that I told earlier in one of the chapters. I thought that would be okay to use. And then the fact that a Rhinoceros is a herbivore and can be incredibly docile made me think of Luke but then they can turn into rampaging beasts bent on running anything over in their way made me think of that time Powerman was pissed and wouldn't back down from the Actual Rhino villain when he faced him.

Sky Lion- I did think of giving Spidey a spider as a box weapon. It would have been obvious and probably very cool, but at the same time I can't see him having a spider after the whole swarm incident. I felt a Lion would be better for his personality in the end because he's a leader, he's fierce, and protective. Much like a lion in the end (I was thinking of Simba when I was trying to think of how to explain Peter. You know, Simba from Lion King, yeah, that one). Black because I felt like it needed to be different in some way, and because Peter is so different from most heroes and people in general, I felt a unique box weapon was deserved. That's my reasoning at least. The name is self-explanatory as well. Ben, Uncle Ben. I hope that makes sense.

Anyways, review and let me know what you thought about this chapter. I can't wait to hear from you guys!
