Ok, so this time around, they are playing another Sega Genesis game! (I somewhat remember playing this as a kid though!) This time around it's a game that many 90s kids would surely remember!

Chapter 4: Sega Genesis: The Lion King

The next morning after the nightmare that was 'Five nights at Freddy's', Bruce decided to be the one to select a game this time around. "Guys, how about another Genesis game to play?" he asked, earning some nods of agreement from him. "Alright, which one?" Tony asked. "How about 'Chakan: the forever man?" Clint asked excitedly. "I heard that it's a very difficult game to play….what about 'Asterix and the great rescue?" Jane asked. "We can play those games at a later time, how about that?" Bruce asked, earning some nods of agreement. "How about…the Lion King?" he asked earning a gasp from Tony. "We should take turns playing that game, varying level to level….unless one of us loses or gets stuck somewhere." Natasha offered, earning more nods of agreement. "Great idea, Natasha!" Steve said before going to sit on the couch. "I'll bring the snacks!" Clint yelled going to get some Cheez-its crackers, cookies, and even some Totino's pizza bites to bake in the oven. "I'll get the drinks!" Bruce yelled getting some soda and juice, and Tony had gotten the alcohol of course. "Ok, let's get this party started!" Tony yelled before the others got to the game room. "I do not understand this 'Lion King', but it won't hurt to watch them play this new piece of midgardian technology." Thor said to himself before following them to the game room.

They turned it on and made the difficulty normal and adjusted the controls some so that it would be easier and Tony went first with the first level, which was pretty easy, until he forgot to roar, thus causing Simba to land on a porcupine. "Aw, CRAP!" Tony yelled as a bit of his health was taken out, and the others were laughing. "Congrats Tony! You turned the future king of Pride rock into a pin cushion!" Clint crowed out laughing too hard. "Laugh it up, Legolas, laugh it up." Tony growled while doing a roll on the porcupine and pouncing on it, causing it to fall off the screen. "This is fascinating." Thor commented while Tony was jumping up and down the level, getting the bugs on the tops of the trees and other various items, and he had pounced on a blue beetle, "Tony, watch out for the—" it blew up in his face, taking out more of his health before he could dodge it, causing even more laughter to ensue for the group, and Tony landed where a hyena was waiting for him, and the battle was on. "Oh, you can't get me, doggy!" Tony crowed at the screen as people were starting to laugh, and Bruce fought the urge to correct him on that part. "What, it looks like a dog, doesn't it?!" he asked trying to concentrate on the fight. "Actually, though they look like dogs, they're more related to cats, Tony." Bruce explained, earning a 'whatever' from Tony. He kept evading the hyena by going left or right at the last second, then when it was tired, he would pounce on him, all while he was taunting him. "Haha, you can't get me!" he taunted at the screen. After a few more minutes of doing this, Tony was done doing that level, and he was dancing a bit in his seat as the screen cut to Mufasa telling Simba 'Everything the light touches is our kingdom.' Bruce was given the controller as it got to the bug collecting level where he moved Pumbaa around the place so he didn't catch a black widow spider and end the game. "Oh, you got this one, Banner!" Clint yelled out while Thor was sitting there fascinated by the overall graphics of the game itself. "Yah! Don't get the black widow spider, dude!" Tony yelled as Bruce was trying to concentrate, and he ended up catching a total of 48 bugs, impressing them. "You're like a bug magnet, Bruce!" Clint said while laughing a little too hard as it got to the 'Just can't wait to be king' level of the game.

It proved to be a bit of a challenge for even him as he kept jumping up and down tree areas, getting the monkeys to certain positions, but sometimes getting to the wrong areas of the stage. "Sheesh, this is a bit challenging!" he muttered annoyed with the mechanics of the level so far. "Come on, you got this!" Natasha cheered on as he was getting thrown left and right so much it was a miracle he hadn't been dizzy from seeing that. Finally, after riding ostriches, jumping off the heads of giraffes, being thrown by monkeys, and even using hippos as platforms, Bruce passed the level. "Whew, that was annoying!" He said relieved he wouldn't have to do that again, and passed the controller to Clint, who was doing a different version of bug catching, where Timon was getting some bugs while avoiding the black widow spider and going from one side to the other, all while catching some bugs by jumping at them.

Clint was now on the elephant graveyard level, where he first encountered two hyenas coming out of the eye sockets for the elephant skull at the same time. "Oh, WHOA!" He yelled while dodging the hyenas left and right, but in a rare twist, he managed to defeat them by pouncing on them at the same time. "Oh yeah! Who's the man!?" he crowed out while they all were laughing, and Thor was still fascinated by the game as he was jumping on various platforms and catching some bugs here and there. He was towards another platform when a vulture attacked him. "Oh, you want some of this, ya rotten scavenger!?" he yelled at the screen while pouncing on him and dodging it as if flew at him left and right. He was doing pretty well so far….until he had gotten his butt handed to him towards the end of the level when as he thought he was done, a hyena pounced on Simba, causing him to lose a life. "ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?" he exclaimed in dismay as Natasha had gotten the controller and started with finishing the level for him while he grumbled in his spot. Then it got to the bug catching segment with Pumbaa again trying to get as much bugs as possible, Natasha managed to get maybe 38 bugs before going to the stampede level, where she needed to dodge a bunch of wildebeests and rocks. "You got this, Natasha!" Pepper cheered on while she was concentrating on dodging the rocks and wildebeests and it got to the end of the level, it for a moment showed Scar saying to a hyena 'kill him' before handing the controller to Jane. "You can do this, my love!" Thor cheered her on as she was trying to dodge the falling rocks and animals that were in her way, finding a checkpoint after going through a secret passageway and rolling towards it. She jumped up and jumped more platforms, dodged more enemies and escaped through the thorns before hyenas stopped at the cliff, it showed a bit of Simba running before Banzai yelled 'If you ever come back, we'll kill ya!' and handing the controller to Steve as it got to the part with Simba in the jungle, adjusting to the life of 'Hakuna Matata' while jumping more platforms, dodging a papaya throwing gorilla and getting to the part with jumping up pieces of logs at the waterfall, though of course he needed to learn the controls a bit first before doing that. "Come on, Spangles, you got this!" Tony yelled using that usual nickname for him, while he was trying to concentrate. He got to another part of the level where he dodged the papayas one more time before pouncing on the gorilla for the final time before jumping up to a cliff and slamming his fists down on the ground….thus causing it to crumble underneath him and have him fall down, thus finishing the level in the process. "Yes, nice one, cap!" Bruce said patting the soldier's shoulder.


While the Avengers were doing their thing in terms of gaming, back on Asgard, Loki was sitting in his prison cell, continuously plotting ways to get himself out of the dungeons and take revenge on the rest of earth and even Asgard when one of the guards had stopped in front of his cell, and he just glared at him. "What do you want?" he hissed at the guard in question when he stopped at the barrier. "Your mother had food and drink sent to you." He said before the guard slipped the food into the prison cell before he left to do his duties, with Loki being unaware that something was in his drink, something that may help or hinder him greatly.


Pepper now had the controller and was doing the bug catching level and ultimately had gotten 36 bugs as a result and was now playing the level with adult Simba and it was at the part with him trying to find the pond, but not without dodging a few enemies like monkeys throwing objects and jaguars trying to claw at him. "Sheesh, this is getting more and more treacherous by the minute!" She said annoyed at how narrow some of the passages were in that place. It got even crazier when she was fighting off three jaguars before Rafiki would be clearing the way for Simba to go through and continue on his path towards the pond. "Come on, hurry up!" Pepper yelled in frustration as the rest of them were watching the screen, munching on Cheez-its and chips while she was getting through the terrain, until finally she got to the pond and saw the mirage of Mufasa, much to her relief. "FINALLY! That was annoying." She said before finally handing the controller to Thor, who after watching them all play for so long, had an idea of what the controls were like and had gotten started with the next level.

Thor was in the 'be prepared' stage of the game and though he had some minor difficulties with mastering some of the controls, he was getting the hang of it pretty fast. "Careful, Thor!" Jane said while the god in question was trying to concentrate on the level, avoiding drops of lava and even the little volcanoes in the area that spat out lava geysers. He got to the part with being on the rock as it was floating across the lava, and a whole bunch of bats were coming near him, but he batted them away, and crossed through even more treacherous territory. "Valhalla, this is challenging!" he bellowed trying to get rid of the bats and jaguars, and when he went down a path, an Indiana Jones tune was playing (the theme for it, more or less!) and they started laughing, along with even Thor as he managed to get to the final area, which had to do with four mini volcanoes in there and he got confused as to what to even do, until after maybe a few minutes of dodging some lava, that he realized what he needed to do, and managed to get past the level. "Good night, Louise! You're a fast learner, dude!" Tony commented before he got the controller from Thor and got to the bug level, and started collecting bugs. "Thank you for the compliment, Man of Iron." Thor said happily, but not without some confusion in the meaning of what he was saying.

Tony was playing the 'Simba's return' stage, and he was thinking that it would be simple….lord was he WRONG! He went to an area where there was a whole bunch of cave entryways, and he had to choose the right pathway. "Oh…..this could take a while." He said a bit intimidated, rare of the billionaire to say the least, as he strategized where he would need to be, much to the amusement of Natasha and Clint. "Scared of this level, iron man?" he asked in mockery, earning himself a glare from the billionaire. "I'm not scared, just….caught off guard." He said before he choose a path, and found himself with a bunch of hyenas. "Oh, you stupid hyenas!" Tony yelled while he was smacking them with Simba's paws. After some more time with navigating where to even go, he got to the end of the level after beating four hyenas, and got to the final battle, with Bruce getting the controller again and taking on Scar in the final battle. "Oh yeah, IT'S ON SCAR!" he yelled before starting with attacking Scar. He did this for a few minutes until Scar ran for the hills. "You come back here!" Clint yelled before Bruce had jumped more platforms and got to another area where he was attacking Scar again for a few minutes and then leaves again, getting the friends frustrated some. "Face your fear, coward!" Thor taunted at the screen as Bruce finally got to the top of Pride Rock and let Scar have it at last. "You shall be avenged, Mufasa!" Tony yelled at the screen as Scar was panting, and Bruce had him close to the edge before throwing him to the side and into the fire. "YES! VICOTRY IS MI-OURS!" Clint yelled at the screen as it was cutting to more awesome sauce Sega music and it started to rain, and it quickly put out the fire and Simba roared in triumph of his victory over Scar, and it cut to him on Pride Rock in the sunrise, and Mufasa saying for the final time 'Everything the light touches, is our Kingdom' before the title of the game was displayed and getting to the credits. "That was fun!" Pepper said, much to the agreement of the others, even Thor was enjoying the game. "So, what next Man of Iron?" Thor asked curiously. "That question shall be answered tomorrow, my thunderous friend!" Tony said before turning everything off and going to the main den.


As they were in the Tower, just doing their thing, with Clint occasionally cracking some jokes while Thor was trying to crack open pickle jars, someone paid them a visit, but would be secretly hidden from all of them. "I hope they don't find out about me being there." That someone said rather worriedly before going inside said tower, as their secret visitor.


Alright, what do you think the Avengers should play next? let me know by either PM-ing me or even through reviewing!
