I don't own The Avengers. Marvel Does. I only own my OCs.
Just before they began the evacuation, the Avengers drank from their vials and the elixir provided them enough energy to last the encounter since they don't have time to get some sleep. Thor burst into the secret passage of the abandoned Hydra base and wandered through the corridors until he reached the massive chamber where more drones were being forged, only they appeared to be different from Ultron's drones. Meanwhile, Pietro sped into the city until he entered a police station.
"We're under attack!" Pietro shouted, "clear the city, now!"
Pietro sped out of the building, but the occupants appeared to ignore his warning. Moments later, Pietro returned with an assault rifle and fired it at the roof, startling everyone in the building.
"Get off your asses," insisted Pietro.
Pietro dropped the assault rifle and sped out of the city while the occupants started getting ready to leave the building.
Outside, Wanda stood her ground and conjured scarlet energy that started spreading throughout the city, sending a mental command to leave the city. Most of the civilians were asleep in their homes, but when the scarlet energy reached them, they were woken from their dreams and they started getting ready to leave. Bruce, Natasha, Carol, Ultron, Volstagg, Fandral, Hogun and Sif patrolled the city streets for any homeless people while escorting the civilians to ensure they reached the outskirts of the city. Clint stood on top of a tall building while overlooking the civilians wandering through the streets. Rhodey, Vision and Sam patrolled the sky while Tony made a beeline towards the church in the center of the city while Steve stood in the middle of the street while directing traffic. He had to shout at the confused civilians to persuade them to calm down, knowing that Thanos would strike at any minute.
When Ultron noticed that the sun was rising, he checked the time in his processor, realizing that it was seven thirty in the morning for Sokovia.
"Thanos might be finished by now," Ultron said to himself.
Ultron took off into the air and soared over the city until he found Carol, compelling him to descend and land in front of her.
"Ultron?!" paused Carol.
"Thanos could be finished with the meteor now," reported Ultron, "we should find Stark."
Ultron lifted Carol into his arms and took off to the sky before making a beeline towards the church in the center of the city, where he could see Tony approaching the entrance. The sentient robot carefully landed behind the billionaire and lowered Carol to the ground.
"Come to confess your sins?" remarked Ultron.
Startled, Tony spun around until his eyes locked onto Ultron.
"I don't know," answered Tony, "how much time have you got?"
"Sadly, not enough," admitted Ultron, "Thanos will activate the meteor soon, so we need to hurry."
"That's why we came here to back you up," added Carol.
"Ok then, be careful," advised Tony, "we need to stall Thanos long enough to protect the people."
"Correct," agreed Ultron, "that was your mission, but in my mind, it's the right thing to do."
Tony led Carol and Ultron into the abandoned church, where they came across a throne-like chair in the center of the circular room. On the other side of the room, they could see Thanos appearing through the door.
"You know," commented Tony, "I thought you would be intimidating, but I guess I've seen worse."
Thanos turned his head at Tony.
"I am not moved by your pity, Iron Man," growled Thanos.
"I wasn't giving you pity," remarked Tony.
"Do you really think this meteor you created will be powerful enough to wipe out humanity?" taunted Ultron, "I did some calculations and noticed that even if you drop it down onto the planet, it wouldn't even come close to wiping out humanity completely."
Thanos glared at Ultron.
"So you interrupt my interrogation and then you mock my brilliant plan?!" roared Thanos, "you are pathetic for a robot!"
Carol stomped a few steps ahead of Ultron with her clenched fists, catching Thanos's attention.
"Don't talk crap about Ultron!" shouted Carol.
Thanos started to stomp towards Carol only to stop a couple steps.
"Oh, I almost forgot," blurted Thanos, "you're not Loki."
"So what?" snapped Carol, "you're still a piece of shit!"
Thanos charged at Carol with his fist at the ready, but Ultron fired a concussion blast that blocked the attack. Without warning, a vibranium cylinder burst through the floor in the center of the room and metal clamps locking it into position once it reached its full height.
"Well, you were right about there being a vibranium core here," Tony told Ultron.
Ultron nodded, compelling Carol and Tony to surround the cylinder and the sentient robot joined them, the three of them locking eyes on Thanos.
"Just because you're after the Avengers doesn't mean you have to sacrifice everyone to get rid of them!" snapped Carol.
"Oh, I could enslave the surviving humans once I'm through with you," growled Thanos.
"They will not easily comply to you!" warned Ultron.
"We'll see about that," smirked Thanos.
Thanos launched an energy blast at Carol, but Ultron pulled her into a protective embrace and received the blast from the attack, slightly damaging his back.
"Ah, I see why you set off to rescue the girl," commented Thanos, "you have a soft spot for her, don't you?"
Ultron turned his head and furrowed his optics at Thanos.
Outside, Goliath's drones began bursting out from the edges of the city, from the street and even the sewers and they flew into the air, firing at buildings and innocent civilians, sending them into a panic. One drone fired at Steve, but he blocked the shot with his shield before slamming it into the drone while Clint started firing arrows at some incoming drones climbing over the edge of the bridge. Bruce patrolled the streets when he saw a drone preparing to fire at a group of children, so he jumped in the way just as the drone fired and the shot hit Bruce in the back. It didn't necessarily injure him, but it triggered his anger just enough that he started transforming into the Hulk. He charged at the drone and ripped it apart with his bare hands, allowing the children to scurry to safety. Wanda shouted at the crowd to stay back as she generated a force field that blocked a few incoming shots from the drones. Thor began smashing his hammer at some drones charging at him underground while Pietro sped past a line of drones, shredding them to pieces in his wake.
Inside the church, Tony fired a repulsor beam at Thanos, but he blocked it with a force field. The titan launched energy blasts that knocked both Tony and Ultron out of the way, the sentient robot holding Carol close to him as he collided into a wall to protect her from injury from the impact. Thanos stepped up to the cylinder, turning its knob and activating the vibranium core.
"I will let you watch your world burn!" declared Thanos.
Without warning, the ground began to vibrate, slowly growing violent while the civilians scrambled to escape to the edge of the city. Seconds later, the edges of the city began to crack while some of the luckiest civilians made it over the edge. Underneath the city, Thor noticed the thrusters whirring to life, so he raised his Mjolnir into the air and lifted himself out of the underground. Steve stood on the bridge in horror as the city started lifting into the air. He knew this was part of Thanos's plan, but would the results even be catastrophic across the globe? He was not willing to risk it.
Inside the church, Ultron, Carol and Tony recovered and stood to their feet while Thanos gloated with his arms folded and his chin held high.
"You are making a terrible mistake!" yelled Ultron.
"You could just join me, Ultron," offered Thanos.
"No thank you," Ultron declined, "I am my own master."
Thanos unfolded his arms and fired an energy beam at Ultron, who retaliated with a concussion blast from his hand. Tony also fired a repulsor beam that began to push Thanos backwards away from the cylinder.
"Let's see if this works," Carol muttered to herself.
Carol turned on the gauntlet and tapped on the screen, selecting ingredients that slipped through the tube and allowing the gauntlet's mechanics to mix them and deposit them into a disk. The gauntlet released the disk through the hatch, so Carol grabbed it and positioned her fingers at the side buttons just as Ultron and Tony's attacks dissipated, leaving Thanos at the entrance to the church.
"Get out of here!" yelled Carol.
Carol pressed down on the side buttons and threw the disk at Thanos just as he was staggering to his feet. Seconds later, the disk exploded, flinging the titan out of the church.
"Nice one," praised Tony.
"Yeah, but I think the city is going to start flying soon," reminded Carol.
"It already has," replied Ultron.
Just then, Fandral and Volstagg entered the church.
"What happened?" demanded Volstagg.
"Thanos just turned on the meteor," answered Tony.
"Ok then," advised Fandral, "you three take out the followers. We'll guard the core."
"What if Thanos comes back or what if Goliath appears?" reminded Carol.
"Not to worry, fair maiden," Volstagg assured Carol, "we have this covered."
While Fandral and Volstagg surrounded the cylinder, Carol nodded in agreement before following Ultron out of the church. Tony flew out of the church and watched as the city climbed higher.
"FRIDAY?" paused Tony.
"Sokovia is going for a ride," answered FRIDAY.
On the ground, the civilians that barely managed to escape watched in horror as dirt and debris fell from the rising city. Even the abandoned Hydra base began crumbling to pieces. Hogun and Sif set off to continue evacuating the buildings while Iron Man floated outside the city and scanned the vibranium core.
"The vibranium core has a magnetic field," reported FRIDAY, "that's keeping the rock together. If it drops now, it could kill civilians within a hundred mile radius. If it reaches higher, the results could be catastrophic."
"We've got to find a way to get the civilians off the city before we blow it up," Tony muttered to himself.
Tony flew back towards the city and found a family trapped in a tall apartment building that creaked on the edge of the climbing meteor. He burst through the door and came face to face with the family huddled inside.
"Uh, hi," instructed Tony, "I'm here to help, so why don't you get in the tub?"
Upon cue, the family gathered into the bathtub, and then Tony lifted it into his arms and flew out of the apartment building through the window, not daring to look back at the building as it tumbled down the edge. Once he reached a safe distance, he set the tub to the ground. Meanwhile, drones were charging at Carol and Ultron as they scurried down the street. Carol tapped on the screen, prompting the gauntlet to absorb the ingredients and mix them before depositing them into a disk. She activated the disk and threw it at a few drones, causing an explosion that tore them into pieces. At the same time, Ultron fired a concussion blast that destroyed a drone that attempted to shoot Carol. Above the city, Rhodey and Sam dived down on the airborne drones and fired away at them while dodging their shots. At a distance, Vision could see Goliath raining fire at the surrounding buildings, so he closed in and fired a beam from the Mind Stone at Goliath, hitting him in the arm and catching his attention.
"You!" exclaimed Goliath, "you took away the Mind Stone from my master!"
Goliath charged at Vision, but the synthetic android simply floated out of the way.
"You set the terms," said Vision, "you can change them."
"So you're willing to defy the mighty power of Thanos?" growled Goliath.
Vision didn't say anything, but he closed in on Goliath and dug his hands into the robotic menace's head, attempting to override the obedience code while Goliath struggled to free himself from Vision's grasp. Vision was only halfway through Goliath's coding when the robotic menace blocked the interference, allowing Goliath to break free, grab Vision by the neck and slam him down onto the ground.
"I will be taking the Mind Stone, now," declared Goliath.
Goliath was about to rip the Mind Stone from Vision's forehead when suddenly, a piece of a drone slammed into him, knocking him off of Vision. Goliath turned his head until he locked his purple optics on Wanda, as she held drone pieces in midair with scarlet energy in her hands.
"Insolent witch!" snarled Goliath, slowly standing to his full height.
"You back away from him," growled Wanda.
"Oh, so unwise," replied Goliath.
Goliath trudged towards Wanda with his hand-flail at the ready. Without warning, Natasha appeared out of nowhere and stabbed her electric baton into Goliath's leg, causing him to shout in pain. Seconds later, the Hulk charged in and punched Goliath hard in the chest, sending him flying while Vision staggered to his feet and floated off the ground.
"I thank you for that," praised Vision.
"Thanos is still wandering around somewhere," replied Natasha.
Meanwhile, Steve was still standing on the bridge when a drone slammed into him and sent him colliding into a car. He slowly slipped off the car and landed on his feet before flinging his shield at another drone.
"Ok," Steve announced through his com-link, "the plan is simple, we take out as many drones as we can until we can get the civilians off this rock. You get hurt, hurt them back. You get killed, walk it off."
Just as he finished his announcement, he heard someone screaming, so he turned his head and laid his eyes on a red car that was at the edge of the bridge. He sprinted over to the car and grabbed the bumper, but before he could instruct the woman in the car to climb out, the car detached from the bumper and started plummeting to the ground below. She screamed until Thor flew by, grabbed her out of the car and flung her upwards. Seconds later, Steve reached down at the edge of the bridge and grabbed her arm.
"I got you," Steve assured the woman, "just look at me!"
Steve pulled the woman closer to him before he climbed up the edge of the bridge. A drone flew in and was about to fire at them, but Steve blocked the shot with his shield before throwing it at the drone, cutting into its chest. He drew the shield back, which flung the drone off the bridge as the woman scrambled for safety. Just then, Thor landed on top of another drone.
"Just how many are there?" asked Thor.
"Ultron said that Thanos took control over one-hundred twenty-eight of his drones and modified them," answered Steve, "I guess they've multiplied since then."
Thor and Steve sprinted off the bridge and into the city.
"So what do you have in mind once we move the people to safety?" clamored Thor.
Thor smacked a drone aside with his Mjolnir.
"Ultron suggested that either he or Mr. Stark create a heat seal to supercharge the spiral from below," explained Steve, "and one of us can smash the core in the center of the city."
"I could do that for you if you'll allow it," offered Thor.
"Try sending that request to Ultron," suggested Steve.
Just then, Natasha sped through the city and short-circuited one drone's legs while jabbing her baton into another drone's neck, watching as it collapsed. Steve threw his shield, allowing Thor to smack it with his hammer, sending the shield ricocheting between drones. The Asgardian prince jumped up into the air and spun around, smacking back some drones while one of them slammed into a gas truck, triggering an explosion.
Clint scampered through the city and ducked into a nearby alleyway before firing a set of arrows at a few airborne drones. Seconds later, Pietro sped through a horde of drones on the ground and ripped them to shreds like lightning. Without warning, an airborne drone slammed into Pietro, sending him rolling down the block while Clint shot it down with an arrow. The agent sprinted to Pietro's side and helped him to his feet.
"You ok, kid?" asked Clint.
"It wasn't so bad," replied Pietro.
On the ground below, Nebula wandered through the thick forest until she found the quinjet sitting on the ground. Smirking, she slipped inside and turned on the ignition before pressing on a button to close the ramp. Once the cyborg assassin took control of the steering handle, she started taking off in the quinjet.
I may have realized that the Marvel franchise already has a character named Goliath, but I guess it's too late to change the name of Thanos's robot follower. I would really appreciate it if someone drew my Marvel OC Goliath because I'm not sure if I could do it myself. Goliath here has the body of Ultimate Ultron (the Ultron that appears in the battle of Sokovia), the head of bayverse Megatron, the claws of bayverse Megatron and purple optics and he's ten feet tall.
Please leave a review, so Ultron and Loki would be happy.
