Here it is! The chapter you've all been waiting for! The final battle. Let's do this. Here's chapter 14 everybody.
Chapter 14: Battle of New York.
Tony was the first to reach New York City, but his Iron Man Mark VI armor got badly damaged during the Helicarrier attack, with his repulsors smoking and stuttering. He eventually rockets his way to Stark Tower.
"Sir, I've turned off the arc reactor but the device is already self-sustaining." JARVIS said as Tony flew up to the roof where he finds the brain-washed Erik Selvig, preparing the device that is holding the Tesseract.
"Shut it down, Doctor Selvig." Tony ordered, which Selvig look up at him and smiled and clearly excited.
"It's too late! She can't stop now. She wants to show us something! A new universe." Selvig said.
"Okay." Tony said as he fires his repulsors at the device, but the blast knock both of them, Selvig unconscious, deflected by a force field, which also got the attention of the people down below.
"The barrier is pure energy. It's unbreachable." JARVIS said.
"Yeah, I got that." Tony said when he look down and saw Loki at the balcony. "Plan B."
"Sir, the Mark VII is not ready for deployment." JARVIS said.
"Then skip the spinning rims. We're on the clock." Tony ordered as he landed on the other side of the balcony, and having JARVIS remove his Mark VI armor as he walks inside, Loki doing the same. Tony didn't break a sweat.
"Please tell me you're going to appeal to my humanity." Loki smirked.
"Actually, I'm planning on threatening you." Tony clarified.
"You should have left your armor on for that." Loki said.
"Yeah. It's seen a bit mileage, and you've got the glow stick of destiny." Tony said walking to his bar and referring to Loki's scepter. "Would you like a drink?" Tony offered, which Loki grinned.
"Stalling me won't change anything." Loki said.
"No, no. Threatening." Tony remarked. "No drink? Are you sure? I'm having one." Tony said looking through his alcoholic beverages. Loki then turn to glance out the window.
"The Chitauri are coming. Nothing will change that. What have I to fear?" Loki said.
"The Avengers." Tony replied, which confused Loki. Tony shrugged. "That's what we call ourselves. We're sort of like a team. 'Earth's mightiest heroes' -type thing."
"Yes, I've met them." Loki said.
"Yeah. It takes us a while to get any traction, I'll give you that one. But let's do a head count, here. Your brother, the demigod, a super soldier, a living legend who kind of lives up to the legend." Tony said as he puts on a pair of homing bracelets undetected. "A man with breathtaking anger-management issues, a ghost kid who saved the world twice on his own and not even 21 yet, a couple of master assassins, and you, big fella, you've managed to piss off every single one of them."
"That was the plan." Loki remarked with a smirk.
"Not a great plan." Tony replied. "When they come, and they will, they'll come for you." Tony said which Loki sees it as a challenge and threat.
"I have an army." Loki said.
"We have a Hulk." Tony countered.
"I thought the beast had wandered off." Loki said as Tony walks toward him.
"You're missing the point. There's no throne. There is no version of this where you come out on top. Maybe your army comes and maybe it's too much for us, but it's all on you. Because if we can't protect the Earth, you can be damn well sure we'll avenge it." Tony said, standing his ground.
Loki has had enough of Tony and starts approaching him, with murderous intentions on his face and eyes.
"How will your friends have time for me when they are so busy fighting you?" Loki said before he place the tip of his scepter on Tony's chest, which made a clicking sound as it touch the arc reactor that was in his chest, making Tony flinched. This confuses Loki and tried again with same result. "This usually works."
"Well, performance issues, it's not uncommon. One out of five." Tony said before Loki grabbed him by the neck and tossed him towards the window, making him cough for air. "JARVIS, anytime now." Tony said standing up, but Loki grabbed him by the neck again and growled at him.
"You will all fall before me." Loki said.
"Deploy! Deploy!" Tony said before Loki throws him out the window, falling towards the concrete below.
Behind Loki, he gets knocked down as Tony's Iron Man Mark VII armor, in the shape of a pod, rockets pass him and flew after Tony, as it detects the homing bracelets. The armor assembles itself around Tony and managed to power up. Tony use his repulsors before he could slam into the ground and a group of people that saw him falling towards them. He then rockets back up to confront Loki.
"And there's one other person you pissed off. His name was Phil." Tony said before he blasted Loki of his feet with his repulsor.
Suddenly, the Tesseract shoots a bright blue beam towards the sky, forming a portal, like the one from two days ago, and appearing out of it is a massive army of the alien Chitauri warriors, riding on some type of chariot jet ski-type hovercraft.
"Right. Army." Tony muttered.
Tony then flew straight up towards the massive alien Chitauri army. The Chitauri were screeching before opening fire on him. Tony started blasting them out of the sky with his repulsors before firing an armament of miniature guided air-to-air missiles. However he can't shoot down all down. The Chitauri starts flying towards the streets below and starts opening fire on the onlookers, who saw or heard the explosions. The onlookers began fleeing in terror once the Chitauri started firing on them. The Chitauri didn't care, shooting blue laser beams at innocent civilians heartlessly. The war for Earth has began.
Meanwhile, Danny has finally arrived at New York City and the first thing he noticed is the large portal at the clear blue sky and the Chitauri coming out of it.
"Darn, I'm too late!" Danny said, as he flew as fast as he could towards Stark Tower.
He noticed Tony being chase by some of the Chitauri. Danny reposition himself to get in front of Tony.
"Stark, I'm here. Heading towards you at your 12 o' clock!" Danny said contacting Tony through his Fenton phones.
Tony noticed Danny flying towards him at top speed. He now knows that Danny's is gonna 'greet' the Chitauri head on!
"Tony, break right!" Danny ordered.
Tony breaks right, and Danny shot several ecto-energy blasts at some of the Chitauri craft, killing some of them, before he had to evade an incoming Chitauri craft. His attack however has alerted more Chitauri. Some starts flying towards him.
"Uh-oh." Danny said before flying off and they start shooting at him.
The Chitauri fired their lasers at Danny, but Danny managed to evade the shots. Danny shot some ecto-energy blasts in return, downing some of them. Danny then leads them towards a nearby wall and turns intangible, flying through the concrete wall, and making the aliens ram into the wall. Danny makes himself solid before seeing another wave of Chitauri flying towards him. Danny grinned at this.
"Never knew that fighting against space aliens could be so much fun?" Danny grinned before flying off, the invaders chasing after him.
Back on the balcony of Stark Tower, Loki looked around as the pitiful humans are in distress as his massive army causes destruction, chaos, and death at the city of New York, as his outfit changes back to his Asgardian armor. Suddenly, Thor lands a few feet away on the balcony, griping Mjølnir.
"Loki!" Thor shouted, getting his brother's attention. "Turn off the Tesseract, or I'll destroy it." Thor demanded.
"You can't." Loki sneered and points his scepter towards Thor. "There is no stopping it. There is only the war."
"So be it." Thor said.
Loki then leaped at Thor and attempted to stab him but he moved out of the way. Thor tried to swung Loki with his hammer but Loki use his scepter to block it. Loki then swung his scepter at Thor, but he ducked. Loki tried shooting at him, but he use Mjølnir to block the shot. Loki's scepter and Thor's hammer then collided with each other, resulting Loki's scepter to point away and blast of the R and K of the Stark sign on the tower.
Back at the streets, terrified people are running for their lives as New York's finest arrived at the scene. The first thing the police officers see is Iron Man and Danny Phantom being chase by aliens. Meanwhile, the Quinjet carrying Captain America, Black Widow, and Hawkeye has arrived at the battle.
"Stark, Danny, we're on your three, headed northeast." Natasha said through the radio.
"What? Did you stop for drive-through? Swing up Park, we're going to lay them out for you." Tony ordered.
"And you better hurry and get here. We can't last for long with these guys on our tails." Danny said.
Tony and Danny flies past the Stark Tower, where Thor and Loki still engage in combat against each other in the balcony, and starts to position themselves as the Chitauri is still chasing after them and firing as well. Iron Man made a sharp turn, causing some of the Chitauri to crash into a building. Danny also made a sharp turn and turns intangible, also making some of the Chituari to crash into another nearby building. Natasha and Clint activates the Quinjet's Gatling Gun, and starts firing at the aliens that were chasing their two fellow Avengers, after they saw Tony and Danny flew past each other.
"Sir, we have more incoming." JARVIS said.
"Fine. Let's keep them occupied." Tony said.
"This is like Pariah Dark all over again." Danny said.
Both Danny and Tony flies off to face another incoming attack, while the Quinjet flew to the balcony of Stark Tower, where Natasha and Clint sees Thor and Loki continuing to exchange blows.
"Nat?" Clint said.
"I see him." Natasha replied.
Both reposition the Quinjet before firing at Loki, but Loki fires his scepter and blasted one of the engines, causing it to lose altitude, before Thor spear Loki to the ground before headbutting and punching him to the ground. Inside the craft, Steve was holding on while Clint and Natasha fight to control the aircraft. They tried to guide it down, but hit a few buildings before crash landing into the ground. Once the craft came to a stop, Steve, Natasha and Clint got out of the aircraft through the ramp and starts running towards the battle area, as Chitauri were still shooting at the city around them.
"We got to get back up there." Steve said.
Suddenly, a loud mechanical growl was heard from the portal. Steve, Natasha and Clint look up to see a very large Leviathan, the size of a skyscraper, coming out of the portal. The Avengers couldn't believe it as they stare at the large intergalactic mechanical beast. As the Leviathan passes Steve and the two assassins, Chitauri ground troops were being shot out of it and landed on the sides of the buildings, some crashing through windows and firing at people that were inside.
"Stark, Danny, are you seeing this?" Steve asked.
"Seeing. Still working on believing." Tony replied as he approaches the creature.
"Okay, I did not expected that. I dealt with powerful ghosts on a regular basis, but nothing like this!" Danny replied.
"Where's Banner? Has he shown up yet?" Tony asked.
"Banner?" Steve asked.
"Just keep me posted." Tony ordered.
"He'll show up eventually, Tony. I know it." Danny said.
"JARVIS, find me a soft spot." Tony said to JARVIS while looking at the Leviathan.
Meanwhile, Thor grabbed Loki, forcing him to look at the city.
"Look at this! Look around you! You think this madness will end with your rule?" Thor asked Loki, who is wide-eyed in fear.
"It's too late. It's too late to stop it." Loki stated.
"No. We can, together." Thor said, thinking that his brother has regained his senses.
Loki looked at Thor as if he had regained his senses, until the slick smile returned. Loki suddenly stabbed Thor with a small blade. Thor groaned, falling on one knee while clutching to his side and dropping Mjølnir.
"Sentiment." Loki spatted.
Thor then charged at his brother, grabbing the horns of his helmet, before kicking him through a window. Thor then grabbed him, lifted him up and slam him to the floor. Loki then rolled of the side of the balcony, landing and grabbing a Chitauri chariot while several Chitauri form up behind him. Thor pulled the blade of off him while disgusted by Loki's cowardice.
Back at the streets, Steve, Natasha, and Clint were taking cover from a taxi cab.
"We've got civilians still trapped up here." Clint informed Steve.
Suddenly Loki and his army flew above them, firing at fleeing people.
"Loki." Steve growled as Loki and the Chitauri continue to fire at innocent people. "They're fish in a barrel down there." Steve said before a laser beam almost hit him. Natasha fired her pistols at the Chitauri alien and kills it. More Chitauri lands on ruin cars, aiming at the trio.
"We got this. It's good. Go." Natasha said to Steve.
"Do you think you can hold them off?" Steve asked Clint.
"Captain, it would be my genuine pleasure." Clint said preparing a new arrow.
Clint then fire an arrow at an Chitauri alien, striking it at the head. Natasha opens fire while Steve jumps over the side of a bridge, landing on the roof of a public bus and jumps off of it, then leaps from an exploding car as the Chitauri fires at him. Natasha provides cover for Clint as he evacuates a group of civilians that were trapped on another public bus. After the last civilian is evacuated from the bus, Clint joins his long time partner in killing the Chitauri.
"Just like Budapest all over again." Natasha commented.
"You and I remember Budapest very differently." Clint replied.
Steve was running towards a group of NYPD police officers while evading Chitauri's attacks. The police officers were shooting at some of the Chitauri chariots.
"It's going to be an hour before they can scramble the National Guard." a young NYPD police officer said.
"National Guard." an NYPD Sergeant said before the two duck for cover. "Does the army know what's happening here?"
"Do we?" the young officer asked.
Suddenly, Steve appeared in front of them, on top of a car.
"You need men in these buildings. There are people inside and they're going to be running right into the line of fire. You take them to the basements or through the subway. You keep them off the streets. I need a perimeter as far back as 39th." Steve ordered.
"Why the hell should I take orders from you?" the Sergeant questioned.
Suddenly, two Chitauri aliens attacked, but Steve quickly repelled them, which stuns the Sergeant, meaning this guy is serious business.
"I need men in those buildings. Lead the people down and away from the streets. We're going to set up a perimeter all the way down to 39th street." the Sergeant ordered his men.
Meanwhile, Danny was doing a great job taking on the Chitauri. He shot several ecto-energy blasts, used his ice powers, or use any of the Fenton anti-ghost weapons against the Chitauri, which surprisingly works against them. Danny also decided that it's a bad idea to overshadow any of them. Danny landed on a street where there was a group of Chitauri soldiers.
"Hey! Maybe you guys should need surgery to fix your ugly faces!" Danny smirked.
The Chitauri snarled and fired at Danny, but he did a spectral body split as the shots go through him.
"Okay, I guess I'll have to fix that." Danny said.
Danny then suddenly made several duplicates of himself. The real Danny and the duplicates suddenly use the Ghost Stinger on each Chitauri soldier. The Ghost Stinger cause the Chitauri's bodies to explode. Afterwards, the duplicates returns to the real Danny. Danny then spot another Chitauri squadron approaching him. He then release an ecto-repulsion field from his body, which took down the Chitauri squadron and kills the aliens. Danny then flew off to take on more Chitauri until he spotted Natasha and Clint having trouble against a group of Chitauri troops.
"Barton, heads up!" Danny said as he lands next to him, getting his attention. He then grab a Fenton weapon from his modified Spector Deflector, which looks like a Fenton version of a grenade, which was originally suppose to work against ghosts. "Shoot one of your arrows at this." Danny said showing Clint the grenade. "Now!" Danny as he release the pin and threw the grenade at a large group of Chitauri troops. Clint shoots his arrow and get a direct hit at the grenade, which causes a massive explosion while releasing ecto-energy and killed the large group.
"Nice." Clint said.
"No time for that, right now. We still got incoming." Danny said as he starts shooting ghost rays while Clint keeps shooting arrows.
Meanwhile, Tony shot some miniature air-to-air missiles at the face of an Leviathan, but has no affect against it. The Leviathan then turned around and starts going after Iron Man.
"Well, we got its attention. What the hell was step two?" Tony said to JARVIS before flying away from the pursuing Leviathan.
Meanwhile, Clint tripped a Chituari alien before ramming an arrow through its chest. Natasha jumped on the shoulders of one of the aliens, before ramming her Widow Stingers on its neck, before getting a Chitauri rifle staff to use against them. Danny used ecto-energy strikes from his hands against them before using ecto-explosive energy disks and ecto-flashing energy balls on a few aliens. Steve arrived and stops and group of aliens that were after Clint before using his shield. Three more aliens were approaching, but all gets electrocuted by lighting bolts as Thor landed nearby. All of them are out of breath.
"No matter how many I blast them out of the sky or kill them on the ground, they still keep coming!" Danny said.
"What's the story upstairs?" Steve asked.
"The power surrounding the Cube is impenetrable." Thor replied.
"Thor's right. We got to deal with these guys." Tony said through the comlink.
"How do we do this?" Natasha asked.
"As a team." Steve replied.
"I have unfinished business with Loki." Thor stated.
"Yeah? Well, get in line." Clint said prepping his arrows.
"Save it. Loki's going to keep this fight focused on us, and that's what we need. Without him, these things could run wild. We got Stark up top. He, along with Danny, are going to need us to..." Steve was cut off by the sound of an old motorcycle behind him. The heroes was surprise on who was riding. It was Bruce Banner! All approach him.
"So, this all seems horrible." Bruce said, which cause Natasha and Danny to slightly glare at him.
"I've seen worse." Natasha said.
"Same goes for me." Danny said.
"Sorry." Bruce said, feeling ashamed.
"No, we could use a little worse." Natasha said.
"We can use the help from the other guy." Danny said.
"Stark, we got him." Steve said.
"Banner?" Tony said through the comlink.
"Just like you said." Steve replied.
"Then tell him to suit up. I'm bringing the party to you." Tony said.
Tony rocketed around a building heading towards his fellow Avengers, with a massive Leviathan pursuing him from behind. Thor growls and grips his hammer.
"I don't see how that's a party." Natasha commented.
"Dang it, Tin Can, nobody invited intergalactic monsters." Danny joked slightly.
Tony flew pass everyone before Bruce glanced at his fellow Avengers one more time before walking towards the incoming Leviathan.
"Doctor Banner. Now might be a really good time for you to get angry." Steve said.
"That's my secret, Captain." Bruce smirked before looking at him one more time. "I'm always angry."
Bruce eyes suddenly flashed green, just like Danny would do sometimes, and he suddenly turned into the Hulk once again, slamming his massive green fist into the Leviathan's face, halting it. The blow was powerful that the Leviathan's head collapsed into itself and tail flipped, and starts to fall down on top of the rest of the Avengers.
"Hold on!" Tony said as he shoots a missile and blows up the Leviathan in the process. Danny created an ecto-shield around everyone, preventing the debris from hitting them and himself as the Leviathan's remains falls of the bridge and crashes at the nearby street. At the sides of the buildings, the Chitauri troops snarled and shrieked after seeing their large Leviathan being destroyed.
Hulk roars back loudly, as Hawkeye preps his bow with a new arrow, Thor raising Mjølnir, Black Widow reloading her pistols, Danny Phantom curling his fists and made them glow green, Captain America readies his shield, and Iron Man landing on the ground, completing the circle of remarkable heroes, united against a common threat, to fight the battles that nobody never could. The Avengers has finally been assembled!
Loki glared at his enemies from the sky.
"Send the rest." Loki ordered.
Suddenly, more Leviathans and more Chitauri came out of the portal. Natasha noticed this.
"Guys." Natasha said getting everyone's attention to the portal.
"Call it, Captain." Tony said.
"All right, listen up. Until we can close that portal, our priority is containment. Barton, I want you on that roof. Eyes on everything. Call out patterns and strays. Stark, Danny, you both got the perimeter. Anything gets more than three blocks out, you turn it back or you turn it to ash." Steve ordered.
"You got it!" Danny said before flying off.
"Can you give me a lift?" Clint asked Tony.
"Right. Better clench up, Legolas." Tony said before grabbing Clint by the back and blasted off.
"Thor, you got to try and bottleneck that portal. Slow them down. You got the lighting. Light the bastards up." Steve ordered as Thor swung his hammer and flew away. Steve turns his attention to Natasha. "You and me, we stay on the ground. We keep the fighting here." Steve said before turning his attention to the Hulk. "And Hulk..." Hulk snarl and looks at Steve, who raise and finger. "Smash."
Hulk grinned and leaped towards the nearest building, where one Chitauri soldier was firing at him. Hulk smashed into the soldier before leaping into another building to smash two more and threw one, before throwing the first soldier and leaping and taking down two chariots.
Meanwhile, Thor landed at the top of the Chrysler Building. He aimed Mjølnir at the sky, which became dark and summoned a massive lighting bolt, which shattered some of the building's windows. After charging, he points Mjølnir towards the portal and yells as the lighting hits the portal and send more approaching Leviathans back in the portal and shooting down chariots in the process.
Meanwhile, back at the bridge of the Helicarrier, Fury watch the news of the battle unfolding on his monitor screen until Agent Hill approached him.
"Sir. The Council is on." Hill said.
Fury gave a serious look on his face before touching his monitor screen to the Council.
Back at the battle, Clint was shooting arrows at the Chitauri chariots, all getting direct hits, when he saw Tony and Danny being pursued by a few chariots.
"Stark, Danny, you got a lot of strays sniffing your tails." Clint said before shooting another arrow.
Danny and Tony were flying together, doing a great job in taking down Chitauri chariots when they heard Clint on the comlink.
"We're just trying to keep them off the streets." Tony said.
"And trying to keep them focus on us." Danny said.
"Well, they can't bank worth a damn. So find a tight corner." Clint as he shoots an arrow and hits a chariot without even looking.
"We will roger that." Tony replied.
Both Tony and Danny flew through the streets and through a tunnel. Some of the chariots crashed while others continued to pursue the flying Avengers.
"Oh boy." Tony muttered.
"Man, these guys are like Skulker. Never gives up." Danny muttered.
The two flew through another tunnel and managed to down more, except for two. As soon as they reached the exit, Danny grabbed Tony, turning him and himself intangible and flew through a concrete wall, forcing the remaining Chitauri chariots to ram themselves into the wall, killing themselves. Danny then lets go of Tony, making themselves solid again, and Tony shuttered.
"Geez, Casper, warn me next time that you're gonna make me invisible." Tony said.
"Intangible and you're welcome, Tin Can." Danny said giving a mock salute.
"So, was this what was like when your town was invaded by ghosts?" Tony asked.
"Something like that, but these aliens got better aim than some of the ghosts I fought before." Danny replied as he blasted some aliens. Tony grinned.
"Nice call." Tony said to Clint. "What else you got?"
"Thor is taking on a squadron down on Sixth." Clint replied through the radio.
"And he didn't invite us." Tony said to Danny.
"Unbelievable." Danny said.
Meanwhile, one Leviathan was slowly approaching an office building, people screaming in terror. They continue to scream until a roar from behind them got their attention. The people started yelling and moving to the side as the Hulk crashed through the floor, missing the people, before running through the window, leaped and grabbed the side of the Leviathan's mouth. The Leviathan tried to get rid of the Hulk, but he doesn't let go.
Back at the ground, a Chitauri soldier tried to stabbed Natasha with its staff, but she got out of the way before she got a hold of it and used her Widow Bite before grabbing the staff and fired it. She then turned around and aim the staff, only to see Steve.
"Captain, none of this is going to mean a damn thing if we don't close that portal." Natasha said out of breath.
"Our biggest guns couldn't touch it." Steve said.
"Well, maybe it's not about guns." Natasha said.
"If you want to get up there, you're going to need a ride." Steve said.
"I got a ride. I could use a boost though." Natasha said after seeing some chariots and moved several feet. Steve realized what she's planning to do and look at the chariots as well. He positions himself and his shield.
"Are you sure about this?" Steve asked.
"Yeah. It's gonna be fun." Natasha replied.
Natasha ran to Steve and Steve used his shield to boost her up towards an incoming chariot. Natasha managed to grab one chariot, leaving Steve to deal with more Chitauri ground troops. Natasha managed to climb on the craft, using her knife to kill the gunner before jumping on the back of the pilot and stabs it, before she has to take control of the craft.
"Okay, turn, turn. Less! Less!" Natasha said trying to turn the craft to avoid crashing into a building.
Several chariots pursue Natasha, attempting to shoot her down, but they were shot down by the flying duo, Danny and Tony. Both got hit by a stray shot before shooting back at them. They then flew towards Steve. Danny made several duplicates. The duplicates ram themselves into the Chitauri ground troops before returning to the real Danny while Tony shot others. Both Danny and Tony went to assist Steve. Tony then blast a repulsor beam and Danny shot a ghost ray at Steve's shield. Thanks to the vibranium, both the blast beam and the ray was reflected and send into multiple directions, taking down Chitauri before Tony flew up, taking down more Chitauri troops at the side of a building as Clint shot an arrow through a Chitauri soldier's head, before dodging some shots and shoots another arrow at a chariot.
Thor and the Hulk were at the top of a Leviathan, ripping off chunks of the creature's metal or taking on some Chitauri soldiers. Hulk then stabbed the Leviathan with a chunk of metal before Thor slammed his hammer through the chunk, releasing an electric discharge. The Leviathan then crashed into the Grand Central Station. Thor and Hulk looked at their defeated enemy before Hulk punched Thor with his massive green fist.
Back at the ground, Steve and Danny were getting outnumbered by Chitauri ground troops. Danny was getting worn down, along with Steve and the other Avengers. Parts of his hazmat jumpsuit was rip apart and he was cut and bleeding ectoplasm in several places around his body, but he still continue to fight.
"There's too many of them, Danny. We might have to fall back." Steve said. Danny, however, got in front of him.
"That won't be necessary, Cap. Get behind me and cover your ears." Danny said.
Danny then unleashed a massive Ghostly Wail, making Steve cover his ears more. Danny's massive Ghostly Wail has blasted some ruin cars, making them run over the Chitauri soldiers, killing them, as well as shattering thousands of windows. Danny has already managed to master this ability, so he doesn't need to worry about passing out and turning back to Fenton.
"Nice job, Danny." Steve said.
"Thanks." Danny said.
"What was that by the way?" Steve asked.
"The Ghostly Wail, one of my most powerful abilities." Danny replied.
The two were interrupted by a stray shot from more incoming Chitauri troops.
"We got company." Steve said.
"Hello misplaced aggression." Danny grinned as he flew off.
On the roof of Stark Tower, Selvig has regained consciousness, with a cut on his forehead. He looked around and became shocked and terrified. He gasped as he saw alien craft coming out of the portal.
Back at the ground, the U.S. Army was now in combat against the Chitauri while getting civilians away from the battle area. Steve, meanwhile, stop a Chitauri alien from killing him and knocks it down.
"Captain, the bank on 42nd past Madison. They've cornered a lot of civilians in there." Clint said through the comlink.
"I'm on it." Steve said before heading towards the bank.
At the bank, three Chitauri soldiers were preparing to execute a large group of civilians. One soldier activates some form of grenade. Steve then came through a window and hits that soldier with his shield before taking cover behind a desk as the other two fires at him. Steve then pushes the desk, knocking one down before exchanging a few blows to the other before breaking its neck and throwing down towards the people below.
"Everyone! Clear out." Steve shouted to the people before a Chitauri soldier puts him on a choke hold and removed his mask.
Steve hits the alien in the gut and did a flip over it before the third Chitauri tried to shoot him, but ended up killing its own. Steve then hears the grenade's beeping tempo increase more. He heads for the window, picks up his shield and took cover with it. The Chitauri soldier tried to throw the grenade, but it explodes, killing the alien and blasts Steve out of the bank, crashing into a car. FDNY firefighters eventually gets the people out of the bank, as one waitress from a nearby diner looks at the man who saved her, thinking that the guy looks familiar and has seen him before.
Back at the Helicarrier, Fury was having an argument with the World Security Council via hologram.
"Director Fury, the Council has made a decision." Councilwoman Hawley said.
"I recognized the Council has made a decision. But given that it's a stupid-ass decision, I have elected to ignore it." Fury said.
"Director, you're closer than any of our subs. You scramble that jet..." Councilman Gideon Malick said, but Fury interrupted him.
"That is the island of Manhattan, Councilman. Until I'm certain my team can't hold it, I will not order a nuclear strike against a civilian population." Fury said.
"If we don't hold them here, we lose everything." Malick said.
"If I send that bird out, we already have." Fury said before cutting the transmission.
Back at the battle, Natasha was still flying the chariot, flying towards Stark Tower, when a laser beam passed her. She looks back to see Loki pursuing her.
"Oh, you." Natasha muttered. "Hawkeye!" she called for Clint.
Clint saw Natasha riding the chariot and Loki firing at her.
"Nat, what are you doing?" Clint asked.
"A little help?" Natasha replied.
Clint aims an arrow at Loki, and he smiles as he's gonna get payback after what he has done to him.
"I got him." Clint said.
Once Loki got close enough, Clint fires his arrow at him. However, Loki managed to grabbed the arrow without looking. Loki glances back at Clint with a smirk, but the arrow explodes and blasts Loki off the chariot and crashes back at the balcony of Stark Tower as Natasha then jumps of the chariot and managed to land at the roof of the tower. Loki got back up and sees the Hulk leaping straight for him. The Hulk rammed Loki through a window, landing inside the tower's penthouse. Hulk was about the charge after him again but Loki stops him.
"Enough! You are, all of you, beneath me! I am a god, you dull creature. And I will not be bullied by." before Loki could finished, the Incredible Hulk grabbed the god of mischief by the ankle and started slamming him to the concrete floor repeatedly back and forth like a rag doll. Hulk then look at him one more time before slamming him on the floor, creating a crater, leaving Loki wide-eyed and whimpering.
"Puny god." Hulk muttered.
Back at the roof, Natasha walked toward the device that was holding the Tesseract when Selvig's voice got her attention.
"The scepter..." Selvig said weakly.
"Doctor." Natasha said.
"Loki's scepter. The energy. The Tesseract can't fight, but you can't protect against yourself." Selvig said.
"It's not your fault. You didn't know what you were doing." Natasha said trying to reassure Selvig.
"Actually, I think I did. I built in a safety to cut their power source." Selvig said.
"Loki's scepter." Natasha commented.
"It may be able to close the portal." Selvig said before looking down at the edge of the roof. "And I'm looking right at it." he said, seeing the scepter lying on the balcony.
Meanwhile, Thor has just knocked down three Chitauri aliens of a chariot. He managed to get off just as a large Leviathan crashed through a building, with Tony firing three of his red palladium powered lasers at it.
"Sir, we will lose power before we penetrate that shell." JARVIS said.
Tony then flew ahead of the Leviathan before repositioning himself to get in front of it.
"JARVIS, you ever hear the tale of Jonah?" Tony asked.
"I wouldn't consider him a role model." JARVIS answered.
Tony then boosted himself towards the Leviathan, flying through its mouth and its body before it explodes, blasting Tony to the ground. Tony tries to get up but gets hit and knocked back down by blue laser beams as Chitauri soldiers closes in on him.
Clint has shot and kill an Chitauri alien and pushes the other out of the roof. Clint then sees a Chitauri squadron flying towards him. He preps the last arrow before jumping off the roof just as the aliens fires at him. Clint shoots the arrow, which had a grabling hook at the end and gets a grip at the side of the building. Clint swings towards another building and crashes through the window and cries out in pain after impacting the floor.
Hulk smashes some aliens before a large Chitauri chariot convoy pins him down with laser blasts.
On the deck of the Helicarrier, a S.H.I.E.L.D. F-35 pilot is preparing for takeoff, while receiving orders from Councilwoman Hawley.
"Director Fury is no longer in command. Override order 7-Alpha-1-1." Hawley said through the radio.
"7-Alpha-1-1, confirmed. We're go for takeoff." the pilot said.
On the bridge, Maria Hill noticed the F-35 preparing for takeoff.
"Sir, we have a bird in motion!" Hill said as Fury runs off. "Anyone on the deck, we have a rogue bird. We need to shut it down! Repeat, takeoff is not authorized." Hill said.
Fury ran through the carrier, and managed to get to the flight deck with an RPG in hand. Fury shot the RPG and the missile hit the F-35 before it even got off the carrier. However, his luck runs out as another F-35 managed to takeoff from the lower flight deck. Fury ran back inside and contacts Tony through the comlink.
"Stark, do you hear me? You have a missile headed straight for the city." Fury said.
Back at the battle, Tony was trying to hold off Chitauri soldiers when he heard Fury saying about the nuclear missile heading straight for New York City.
"How long?" Tony asked while getting knocked down by an alien.
"Three minutes, max. The payload will wipe out Midtown." Fury said through the comlink.
"JARVIS, put everything we got into the thrusters." Tony ordered.
"I just did." JARVIS said before Tony blasted off and flies south towards the jet. However, the F-35 pilot fires the missile that contains the nuke towards Manhattan.
"Package is sent. Detonation in 2 minutes, 30 seconds, mark." the pilot said.
Back at Midtown, Steve, Danny, and Thor were battling side-by-side. Steve and Thor threw their weapons in unison as Danny did an ecto-energy strike until Steve got knocked down by a laser blast. Danny rushed to Steve's aid as Thor used Mjølnir to block some shots before sending a ruin car to flip over and crush the aliens, then threw Mjølnir at more aliens before helping Danny to get Steve back to his feet.
"Are you ready for another bout?" Thor asked.
"What, are you getting sleepy?" Steve asked out of breath before Thor calls back Mjølnir.
"This is probably the most intense battle since the Pariah Dark Incident." Danny said, also out of breath.
Back at the roof, Selvig opens his laptop as Natasha is about the use the scepter to close the portal.
"Right at the crown!" Selvig said pointing towards the crown of the device.
Natasha then pushed the scepter through the energy barrier.
"I can close it." Natasha said. "Can anybody copy? I can shut the portal down."
"Do it!" Steve ordered.
"No wait." Tony said through the comlink.
"What do you mean wait, Tin Can?!" Danny shouted.
"Stark, these things are still coming." Steve said.
"I got a nuke coming in. It's gonna blow in less than a minute." Tony said as he spots the nuclear missile.
Tony flies straight for the missile before stopping near the Verrazano Bridge. He then boosts after the missile as it passes the bridge.
"And I know just where to put it." Tony said as he caught up to the missile and grabs it from underneath.
"Stark, you know that's a one-way trip." Steve said through the comlink.
"Save the rest for the turn, J." Tony said to JARVIS.
"Sir, shall I try Miss Potts?" JARVIS asked.
"Might as well." Tony replied.
On a personal private jet, Pepper Potts was watching the news of the invasion and battle in horror. She fail to noticed her cell phone buzzing from behind her. In Amity Park, the town was also watching the news of the invasion and battle outside City Hall on giant flat screen monitors or at Casper High School in the auditorium. Some people like the A-Listers and Mr. Lancer are concern as they saw Danny on the TV screen in the auditorium. Inside City Hall, Dani, Jack, Maddie, Jazz, Tucker, and Sam watches the events unfolding. Dani and Sam are watching in horror as they couldn't believe that aliens are real and they are concerned for Danny. Sam also becomes stunned as she sees Danny on the TV fighting against an alien alongside Norse figure Thor, and surprisingly to her, Tucker, and the Fentons, Danny's childhood idol Captain America himself! In the Ghost Zone, Clockwork is watching the invasion and battle being played out through his monitors as Danny's enemies, like Ember McLain, Skulker, Kitty, Johnny 13, and Desiree, watch from behind him, as well as Danny's allies, like Frostbite, Pandora, and Wulf. The denizens of the Ghost Zone is now aware of the Chitauri Invasion and battle, and the group known as the Avengers. They also know Danny is among the Avengers. At the Helicarrier, Fury, Hill, and other S.H.I.E.L.D. agents watched the battle through their monitors real closely. All at the same time, the news reporter is reporting on the invasion.
"The streets of New York City have become a battleground. The Army is here trying to contain the violence but clearly, it is outmatched. And I have to say, in all my years of reporting, I have never seen anything like this. We have limited information on the team but we do know that billionaire Tony Stark's Iron Man and Amity Park's ghost boy Danny Phantom..." the news reporter reporting on the invasion.
Back at the battle, Tony and the missile is closing in at Stark Tower at top speed, as the other Avengers looks on. Tony then ignited an extra set of thrusters on his armor and managed to push the missile towards the portal, barely missing the tower. Tony and the missile climbed to a higher altitude and flew through the portal.
On the bridge of the Helicarrier, S.H.I.E.L.D. agents cheered or sighed in relief as the nuclear strike as been averted. Fury relaxed in relief and look back at his monitors.
Inside the portal, Tony couldn't believe it. He was in deep space, but at least his suit was pressurized, so he would be okay, but only for a few minutes.
"Sir, missed call." JARVIS said as the suit's power begins to fail.
Tony then lets go off the missile just as he jettisoned the extra thrusters and his armor loses power completely. He watched as the nuke passes through an armanda of Chitauri chariots and Leviathans just as the nuke hits the Chitauri Command Center, setting off a massive nuclear explosion. At that moment, every Chitauri and Leviathan fell down to the ground as they got powered down. Back in the portal, Tony watched the nuclear explosion before passing out. Back at Earth, the Avengers were getting nervous.
"Come on, Stark." Natasha said still holding the scepter.
Steve, Danny and Thor could see the massive explosion. Steve sighed.
"Close it." Steve ordered.
Without hesitation, Natasha push the scepter to the Tesseract and shuts it down. The portal began to close and just before it close completely, Tony managed to get through, which got the rest of the Avengers relieved.
"Son of a gun." Steve said in relief.
Danny, however, noticed that something's not right with Tony as he's not moving, like he's falling.
"Something's not right." Danny said as he floated up.
"He's not slowing down." Thor said swinging Mjølnir to preparing to take off and catch him.
Before Danny and Thor can take action, out of nowhere, the Hulk managed to catch Tony in mid-air. They slide down a building before Hulk jumped off and launched them both to the ground, flattening a car in the process. Hulk shoved Tony of off him before, Thor, Steve and Danny rushed to check on Tony. Thor removed the face plate. Danny and Steve checked Tony closely. His arc reactor was dimly lit. After a moment of silence, unexpectedly, the Hulk released a massive roar, causing Tony to gasped in surprised, regaining consciousness.
"What the hell?" Tony said out of breath. "What just happened? Please tell me nobody kissed me."
Danny, Steve and Tony relaxed now that Tony's okay.
"We won." Steve sighed.
"All right, yay! Hurray. Good job, guys. Let's just not come in tomorrow. Let's just take a day. Have you ever tried shawarma?" Steve and Danny chuckled at Tony's witty banter. "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, glancing back at Stark Tower, Steve and Danny doing the same.
"And then shawarma after." Tony commented.
Back at the tower's penthouse, Loki was slowly crawling his way out of the crater, cut, bruised, and climbing on some steps. He took a few breathes before sensing that someone was behind him. He turned around to see seven tired, dirty, bruised and angry Avengers behind him, Clint aiming his arrow at him.
"If it's all the same to you, I'll have that drink now." Loki commented, making Hulk growl at him.
And that's the end of this chapter. Please review.
