The moment Quicksilver and the other speedsters left the base, it shook like crazy. And everyone began to wonder if it was an earthquake but they were wrong. It was much more worse than that, a sinister looking ship appeared over the HQ and an orange tractor beam shone down and a familiar face showed up.
The soldiers and guards of the Earth League of heroes came out with their weapons drawn. The moment was tense and their fingers were on the trigger, sweat dripped down from some of the guards faces. The dust cleared and a very powerful voice rang out
"Greetings Earthlings"
Then one of the Soldiers shouted "It's Mongul! KILL HIM!"
A rain of blaster fire, artillery shells and tank munitions went flying. Some heroes even joined the fight. Mongul used his heat vision to incinerate many of the soldiers and wound some heroes. Although as fun as that was for Mongul, he was looking for the Infinity stone and would stop at nothing to get it back for Darkseid.
"HEY UGLY!" Quill taunted as he blasted Mongul with an Ice blast that froze his legs. Mongul was shocked and he turned around only to find the Guardians of the galaxy assembled in a line, with Quill in front.
"Guardians...I was expecting you" Mongul grinned as he fired his chest laser at a nearby soldier, killing him. Red Hood growled "You'll pay for that!"
"This can be avoided you know...just give me the infinity stone to me and I shall leave this planet alone"
"Not gonna happen" Arsenal snapped
"Very well...now face your demise!" Mongul shouted as he powered up his chest laser, then Quill cupped him hands and placed it near his mouth
"THAT'S YOUR CUE!" he shouted.
Mongul immediately found his chest laser covered in some sort of web, then his hands, then legs. He looked above him and a hero with a red and blue suit leaped in front of him
"Urgh! you're even more ugly than the Goblin!"
"Spider-man! you're timing is impeccable" Quill noted
"Yeah..oh and I brought some help"
Mongul over heard this and freed himself, when something hit his head from behind. Mongul fell down with a huge THUD. When he recovered he turned around in search of the foolish mortal who dared attack him. Although what he found was not just one human, but many.
"Mongul..you made a big mistake coming here" said Superman as he snarled, behind him was Captain America, Winter Soldier, Green Arrow, Iron-man, Batman and Green Lantern as well as Harry Osborn's Iron Patriot appearing beside Spider-man, hovering in mid-air.
Mongul laughed and said that their appearance changer nothing, he pressed a button on his wrist and teleported a Battalion of Hydra Soldiers. The soldiers attacked and kept the Heroes occupied and away from the Guardians.
"Looks like Zola made friends" said Captain America as he and Bucky punched a Hydra agent out cold
"Cap! back to back!" Bucky said.
Steve Rogers and Bucky stood back to back, the captain then held Bucky's arms and tilted in front causing Bucky to become elevated, he extended his legs into a kick that took out a Hydra goon and he did the same to Cap. Bucky withdrew his pistols and started firing left and right, then a Hydra bot appeared and Cap called out to Bucky and knelt down and positioned his shield into a ramp like structure. Bucky ran onto the shield and Steve elevated the Shield upwards as Bucky ran onto it, the moment Bucky's legs were on it Cap pushed it forward in the elevated direction and Bucky was slingshot towards the Hydra bot. Bucky somersaulted and landed on the robot's back, the Winter soldier then withdrew a small explosive that he had as a gift from Rocket and slammed it on the Robot's back and pressed the button. Bucky jumped off the the robot was transformed into a small, harmless, green cube.
RANGER RACCOON VS MONGUL
While the heroes were occupied with the Hydra attack, Mongul sneaked around the base but was cut off by none other than Ranger raccoon.
"And where do you think you're going" Ranger asked sarcastically with his hand on the trigger
"Out of my my way vermin!" Mongul shouted as he slammed him fist on the ground to where Ranger was, luckily he stepped out of the way and growled 'Rocket was right, being called vermin is just insulting!' Ranger thought as he ran up Mongul's arm and fired an explosive round at Mongul's face causing him to fall back on his back.
"Not today ya don't" Ranger smirked
Mongul recovered and cracked his head side-ways punched Ranger on the chest and lasted him with his plasma hand blasts that sent him flying to the wall, luckily Rocket modified it for just such an occasion.
'Thank you little brother...I owe you one' Ranger thought as he recovered, he took a pill out from his pouch and swallowed it, that pill was a kryptonian power pill. Ranger felt himself become stronger, his muscles became ripped. It was like being turned into that monster that Pike made him expect he hand full control of himself and he stayed in his normal size, except he became buff but it's only temporary. Ranger charged and punched Mongul on the chest and sent him flying to the other wall and crashing into a statue of Superman.
"Damn this pill is amazing!" Ranger chuckled as he ran to finish Mongul off. He found him and grabbed Mongul by the neck and punched him many times on the face again and again and again until the effects of the pill wore off. Ranger dropped Mongul as he now couldn't stand his weight
"There is no way you're getting that infinity stone from me!..you want it? then you'd better hope that death itself comes here right now and snatches it out of my cold,dead paws.
Then Mongul chuckled "That can be arranged"
Then a gust of wind erupted from behind Ranger, who suddenly felt cold. His eyes widened and twitched, his ears were at the top of his head and time itself came to a standstill, Ranger then felt a stabbing pain at the side of his upper waist as a cold steel blade pierced his fur and dug into Ranger and that kept going on until he felt it go out the other side. Ranger spat blood and fell to his knees and shouted loudly in pain as he fell on all fours.
"Who?..a..r..are you?" Ranger asked
Then he received a cold response "I am death...I am the black racer".
When Ranger thought all was lost, his little brother came running and hit both the Black Racer and Mongul with a highly explosive round. Mongul searched Ranger's dying corpse for the infinity stone but it wasn't there. Rocket noticed and yelled "GET AWAY FROM MY BROTHER!" as he fired another explosive round.
Seeing that the object they desired was not here, Mongul, Black Racer and the Hydra battalion retreated and blasted off from Earth.
"Way ta...go..lill...bro" Ranger coughed as he lay down facing the ground
"BRO!" Rocket shouted as he went to Ranger's side and inspected his wounds, they were bad. Rocket took Ranger's head in his arms and looked him dead in the eye. This action caused Ranger to smiled
"Ranger! don't worry we'll get you to safety don't worry!"
Ranger chuckled lightly at this as he placed a paw on Rocket's left cheek "Oh...little brother...so full of life, so full of hope"
"Hey don't talk like that! you're going to make it!" Rocket reassured
"Oh come on now...you know that's not true, Lill bro...I couldn't be more proud of what you've become"
"NO DON'T SAY THAT!" Rocket shouted, which attracted Lylla's attention and she came running
Ranger laughed dryly "Rocket...Rocket...my dear little brother, before I go, I wanted to tell you something"
Excepting the inevitable Rocket found himself crying "W..what is it?"
"You are the most precious thing on Half-world to me...I've always wanted a little brother, one I could love, play with, protect. One that would look up to me, and from here on out...no matter what you decide to do from now out, I will love you always!"
Rocket's tears kept flowing down and came into contact with Ranger's fur
"ROCKET!" Lylla shouted as he came near to him, she gasped as she saw Ranger dying in Rocket's arms. Ranger noticed and smiled "Lylla...take...take care of Rocket for me"
"I will" Lylla sobbed
"Good...that's just great...j..jus...just great..." Ranger sighed his last and closed his eyes and smiled.
Rocket looked upwards and shouted "NOOOOOO!"
Lylla wiped the tears from her eyes and went on the open channel
"Guys...this is Guardian of the Galaxy Lady Lylla, I regret to report that we've lost one of our own...Ranger's gone"
