The Battle for Earth
I don't own Digimon, Guardians of the Galaxy or Avengers
"Send the rest," Loki ordered as he looked down at the Avengers and Guardians and three more Leviathans and dozens more Chitauri came through the portal in the sky.
"Uh guys," Natasha said looking up and the others did so as well.
"What's the plan?" Sylar asked.
"Until we can close that portal, our priority is containment." Steve said. "Barton, I want you on that roof. Eyes on everything. Call out patterns and strays. Stark, you got the perimeter. Anything gets more than three blocks out, you turn it back or you turn it to ash."
"Can you give me a lift?" Clint asked Tony.
"Right, better clench up Legolas." He answered grabbing the archer by his quiver and he shot off into the air.
"Thor, do you think you could bottleneck that portal for a while?" Daisuke asked the Asgardian who nodded and began spinning his hammer. "Light those bastards up," she said before Thor flew off.
"The rest of us will stay on the ground and keep the fighting here, Steve said as Daisuke turned to Hulk.
"Big guy," he grunted and looked at her. "Smash," Hulk smirked and jumped towards a building and smashed into a Chitauri before grabbing it and jumping across to another building where he slammed his fist into two more Chitauri before jumping off throwing a Chitauri into another building.
Thor flew towards the Empire State Building and held onto the spire before lightning began striking Mjolnir and the building began arching with lightning as Thor directed it towards the portal destroying numerous Chitauri and Leviathans forcing more back into the portal.
"There are plenty enemies to go around, may the best man win," Sylar said running towards some Chitauri.
"Don't worry, it shall be me!" Drax told him making him laugh as Drax ran off to fight as well.
"Think we should join in on their competition?" Ex-Veemon asked with a smirk.
"Nah, let the boys have their fun." Daisuke answered jumping over a car and she fired her pistols at two Chitauri killing them before kicking a third into a taxi before she stabbed it with its own weapon.
"Stark, you got a lot of strays sniffing your tail," Clint told Tony as he fired arrows at passing Chitauri ships.
"Just trying to keep them off the streets," Tony replied as he flew around buildings with several Chitauri craft following.
"Well, they can't bank worth a damn, find a tight corner," Clint told him firing an arrow without looking and he still hit a Chitauri causing it to blow up.
"Roget that," Tony replied heading towards the archer who knocked an arrow and waited until Tony flew past and fired the arrow hitting the lead Chitauri craft and it broke apart and crashed into the train station, Tony destroyed another with an energy blast before flying off and another craft crashed into a car while another crashed into a building when Tony made a tight turn while the last two crashed into each other. "Nice call, what else ya got?"
"Well Motomiya's taking on a squadron on sixth," Clint answered.
"And she didn't invite me," Tony said in mock disappointment.
"I'm sorry, did you want a fancy invite letter?" Daisuke asked as she headbutted a Chitauri and Ex-Veemon stomped on it before swatting another away with his tail.
"Well it would have been nice," Tony replied making her groan.
"You are like an annoying younger brother," she muttered making Ex-Veemon chuckle before he grabbed a Chitauri and slammed it into an overturned car.
"They just keep coming." The dragon commented.
"None of this is gonna be worth a damn if we don't close that portal," Daisuke said looking up at the portal as Steve ran over with Natasha.
"Our biggest guns couldn't touch it," Steve told her.
"I bet the Hadron Enforcer could crack the field protecting the Tesseract," Rocket said with a smirk.
"And bring down the entire tower and probably half of New York if something goes wrong, we need another way." Daisuke told him as she saw Natasha looking in the air at the passing Chitauri craft and she smirked. "You thinking what I'm thinking?" she asked the assassin.
"Yeah, but I'm gonna need a boost," she answered only to be picked up by Ex-Veemon. "Hey! I didn't mean this kind of boost!" she shouted.
"Don't worry, this is the quickest way." Ex-Veemon told her.
"Don't I get a say in how I get thrown into the air?" Natasha asked and Ex-Veemon and Daisuke shared a look and shrugged.
"Nah," they said as Ex-Veemon threw Natasha into the air and she grabbed hold of a Chitauri craft as it flew off.
"She's definitely gonna be pissed when this is over," Rocket said.
"Hey at least she made it," Daisuke replied running off to continue fighting the Chitauri.
"Thirty-four, thirty-five," Sylar counted as he kept cutting through Chitauri with Drax nearby.
"You're cheating!" Drax shouted stabbing one Chitauri in the head before throwing his other knife into a Chitauri nearby.
"I don't need to cheat when I've got skill on your side," Sylar replied before a Leviathan flew overhead and he smirked before climbing up a street lamp and he jumped onto the Leviathan and began killing the Chitauri on it and he was joined by Thor and Hulk.
"Fancy seeing you up here," Thor said slamming his hammer into a Chitauri as Hulk threw two more off the Leviathan.
"Well you know, can't say no to such a large target," Sylar replied cutting a Chitauri's arm off before beheading it, Thor roared as he ripped a piece of the Leviathan off and rammed it into the Leviathan before Thor hit it with his lighting charged hammer causing the Leviathan to roar as it crashed and skidded to a stop on the street below. Sylar turned back to Drax and smirked at him causing his friend to frown.
"That still only counts as one!" he shouted before he charged some Chitauri. "Alright then come on!" he roared as he began cutting his way through the Chitauri with ferocity, Hulk then punched Thor sending him flying and Sylar laughed.
"Seriously?" Sylar asked Hulk who smirked before doing the same to Sylar sending him flying too causing Drax to laugh.
"Guys, the bank on 42nd past Madison. They've corned a lot of civilians in there." Clint said into his earpiece.
"We're on it," Rocket said running off with Baby Groot on his shoulder followed by Steve, inside the bank three Chitauri were on the upper floor aiming their weapons down at the gathered civilians who were all fearing for their lives. One Chitauri took out a small device and activated it causing it to begin beeping slowly. Steve jumped through the window and tossed his shield at the Chitauri holding the device knocking it down while Baby Groot grabbed the other two Chitauri with his arms and began throwing them around the room.
"All of you clear out!" Steve shouted to everyone as the Chitauri he knocked down got back up and began firing its weapon at Steve only for Baby Groot to throw the Chitauri he was holding into the line of fire protecting Steve, the beeping of the device began getting faster making Rocket look at it.
"Hit the deck!" he shouted grabbing Baby Groot while Steve grabbed his shield and the device blew up killing the Chitauri who tried to throw it at them with the resulting shockwave throwing them out of the building onto a car below.
"Ow…" Steve grunted slowly getting to his feet.
"I am Groot." Baby Groot groaned holding his head before looking at Rocket and nudging him gently.
"I'm ok…but you're right…that was a stupid idea," he groaned holding his head watching as the civilians were escorted out of the bank by the police. "And this fight is getting out of hand, we can't keep everyone safe for much longer."
"You're right, but we need to find a way to close the portal," Steve told him.
"Then it's time to get up there, Daisuke think Ex-Veemon can give me a lift to the top of Stark Tower?" Rocket asked running off with Baby Groot.
"We're a bit busy at the moment," Daisuke replied as she and Ex-Veemon were in the middle of fighting ten Chitauri.
"V-Laser!" Ex-Veemon roared firing a beam of light from his chest throwing a Chitauri into a wall, Daisuke took out a sphere and shook it causing it to light up and she tossed it at the Chitauri and once it shattered a cloud of plasma consumed three of them turning them to ash. "Besides I'm sure Natasha can handle it."
Speaking of Natasha, she was piloting the commandeered Chitauri craft when another began firing at her, looking behind her, she saw it was Loki. "Oh, you," she muttered flying towards The Stark Tower. "Clint, a little help?" she asked making the archer look at her.
"Natasha, what're you doing?" he asked drawing another arrow and he smirked. "Don't worry, I got him." He fired the arrow at Loki who caught it and he sighed missing the arrow beep before it exploded sending Loki crashing onto the balcony of the Stark Tower. He got to his feet just in time for Hulk to jump up and throw him into the tower, Hulk grunted and ran towards the God.
"Enough!" Loki shouted standing as Hulk stopped his charge. "You are, all of you, beneath me! I am a God, you dull creature. And I will not be bullied by…" his tirade was cut off by Hulk who grabbed the God by his ankle and began slamming him into the ground repeatedly until he left him in a small Loki-shaped crater in the ground.
"Puny god," he grunted while Loki whimpered in pain. Natasha meanwhile was on the roof of the tower looking at the machine that was creating the portal using the Tesseract as its power source.
"The sceptre…Loki's sceptre," she turned and saw Erik Selvig on the ground with a cut on his forehead and his eyes back to normal showing he was no longer being controlled by Loki. "The energy. The Tesseract can't fight, but you can't protect against yourself."
"It's not your fault doctor, you didn't know what you were doing," Natasha reassured him.
"Actually, I think I did." He told her. "I built in a safety mechanism to cut their power source."
"Loki's sceptre," Natasha said and he nodded.
"It may be able to cut the power, and I'm looking right at it," he said looking down at the sceptre which was on the balcony below.
While they were planning to shut down the portal the others were still fighting, Thor was on a Chitauri craft before it was smashed into by a Leviathan and he jumped off, Tony flew alongside the giant creature and fired a laser from his wrist at the outer skin.
"Sir, we will lose power before we break through the skin," JARVIS told him.
"You ever hear the tale of Jonah?" Tony asked flying around some buildings before heading towards the Leviathan.
"I wouldn't consider him a role model," JARVIS replied as Tony flew into the mouth of the Leviathan and fired several small missiles inside the Leviathan blowing it up and the explosion sending him crashing into a glass bus stop before he stopped when he hit a car, he got to his feet only for a Chitauri to hit him twice in the chest and he was thrown into another sign.
"Stark, you read me? You have a missile heading straight for the city." Fury told him over the commlink.
"How long?" Tony asked as several Chitauri began hitting him with their weapons.
"Three minutes, max. The payload will wipe out Midtown." Fury answered as Tony got to his feet firing energy blasts at the Chitauri.
"JARVIS put everything into the thrusters." Tony told him.
"I just did," he replied and Tony shot off to stop the missile. Oblivious to the oncoming danger the others continued fighting, Daisuke was back to back to back with Steve and Thor fighting the Chitauri when one got a lucky shot in hitting her stomach and she fell to the ground as Thor tossed his hammer at the attacker killing it before he hit a nearby car sending it tumbling at more Chitauri crushing them.
"You ok?" Steve asked helping Daisuke to her feet.
"I'm good, you boys ready for another round?" she asked picking up her pistols.
"What, are you getting sleepy?" Steve asked making them smile before Thor summoned back his hammer.
"I can shut the portal down, can anybody copy?" they heard Natasha say.
"Do it," Steve told her.
"No wait," Tony interrupted.
"Tony these things are going to keep coming," Daisuke told him.
"I've got a nuke coming in and it's gonna blow in less than a minute. But I know just where to put it," Tony said as he caught up the missile and grabbed it.
"You know that's a one-way trip, right?" Daisuke asked him gently.
"I know, don't worry I'll be fine." He answered.
"Alright, good luck." Daisuke said looking up with the others who saw Tony fly over them before he began flying towards the portal and nearly hit the Stark Tower but he managed to make it through the portal, everyone saw the Chitauri and Leviathans power down and then watched with baited breath before Daisuke sighed knowing Tony probably wouldn't make it back. "Natasha…close it..." she reluctantly ordered.
The portal began closing and at the last possible moment Tony fell through making everyone sigh in relief.
"Son of a gun," Steve said before they noticed Tony was in free fall.
"He's not slowing down," Thor said about to fly up to catch him but Hulk beat him to it as he jumped towards Tony and caught him before jumping to the ground and he held Tony in his arms and hit the ground with everyone making their way towards them.
"Is he breathing?" Sylar asked as Thor turned Tony over and ripped off the faceplate and everyone saw Tony's eyes were closed, everyone was silent for a moment before Hulk roared loudly causing Tony to wake up with a gasp and everyone smiled as Hulk roared again.
"What the hell? What just happened?" Tony gasped out.
"We won," Daisuke told him with a smile as he sat up slowly and Daisuke hit him over the head with one of her pistols. "You idiot, you nearly gave us a heart attack!" she scolded him making the others grin.
"Hey, I nearly died up there, give me some sympathy," Tony whined earning a glare from Daisuke and she turned away from him.
"What do we do now?" Ex-Veemon asked.
"How about we all take tomorrow off," Rocket joked.
"Have you guys ever tried shawarma?" Tony asked making everyone smile. "There's a shawarma joint about two blocks from here. I don't know what it is but I want to try it."
"We're not finished yet," Thor said making everyone share a look.
"And then shawarma after," Tony said.
"Yes, we'll go eat the damn shawarma," Daisuke said helping Tony to his feet.
"Oh, and Drax, final count was forty-two," Sylar told Drax who sat on a Chitauri.
"That's not bad my green-skinned acrobatic friend, I however killed forty-three," Drax replied making Sylar frown before he stabbed the Chitauri Drax was sitting on.
"Forty-three," he said.
"he was already dead," Drax said with a frown.
"He was twitching," Sylar said with a shrug.
"He was twitching…because he's got my knife embedded in his nervous system!" Drax shouted moving the knife still in the Chitauri's head and sure enough it's legs and arms began twitching.
Everyone was silent before Daisuke began laughing and the others soon joined in, a few minutes later they walked into the Stark Tower with Natasha joining them with Loki's sceptre in her hands and saw Loki finally crawling out of the small crater and they surrounded him with Clint aiming an arrow at him. "If it's all the same to you, I'll have that drink now." He said.
"Don't push your luck," Daisuke told him.
