Chapter 6: Battle of Wakanda
--Wakanda--
Shuri was just inventing another gadget to use. She was sitting on her desk, phone and computer right beside her. Suddenly, she spotted an unknown sign of life. It then started to increase heavily. Ten turned into ten thousand, ten thousand turned into a million, a million turned into ten million. She picked her phone up and called Okoye.
"I'm on my break Shuri, what do you want?" Okoye asked as she sipped on Starbucks in the video chat.
"This is the second straight day you're drinking that." Shuri reminded, as she changed the subject, "Tell T'Challa I am picking up ten million signatures outside the first line of defense."
"Alright..."Okoye wiped her mouth, "I will tell him right away."
Okoye closed the call and threw her Starbucks. T'Challa was having a conversation with Namor himself, they were mostly talking about how to run a army when she got there. The look on their faces, they were really into it. Sadly, Okoye broke it up.
"King T'Challa, I have big news for you." Okoye said, as they both looked at her, "Your sister has spotted ten million heat signatures in the first line of defense."
T'Challa's eyes popped right open and his jaw dropped, "Get the army ready and call Rogers, Barnes and Howlett."
Okoye nodded as Namor followed her to call his army. He looked at the window and tried to reflect what was about to happen. He could see ships flying in the air and going towards the large field. He shook his head and got his suit.
"Shuri, do you have a visual on M'Baku?" T'Challa asked as he opened the call, "If you can see him, tell him to retreat to the mine."
"Very well." Shuri returned back to her work as Logan, Steve and Bucky entered her lab, "Suits are to your right, gentlemen."
"So I don't have a suit?" Bucky wondered when Steve and Logan got their suits, "Oh, it's because I'm not Captain America anymore, is it."
"You actually got it right," Okoye joked but still focused on the computer, "I have ten thousand heat signatures above us, check it out."
The three men rode the elevator going up. They passed the beautiful mine of Wakanda. Never failing to attract their eyes. It's just the blue and purple that merges together. Their view was ended when they reached the top. They saw Thor standing along with his army.
"Rogers? Is that you?" Thor asked as he gave him a hug, "Great to see you back in action. What happened?"
"Long story that I'll tell you next time but for now, let's focus on what the hell is going on." Steve suggested as the Asgardians got into a defensive position.
To the left, an army led by Namor approached and went on front of the Asgardians. They were about three thousand or so but they were heavily armored. Finally, T'Challa and Okoye arrived with the Wakandan men. All of the superheroes went on front and prepared for what is about to come. There were valleys which were hiding the assault of the intruders. Suddenly a giant ship fell through the shield and to the ground. After that, two more landed and another three followed. Many aliens exited the ship and lined up, ready for battle.
On front of the army was Loki, the God of Mischief, also known as Thor's brother. He had that smile with him as he showed off his army. All Outriders and they were hungry for blood. T'Challa couldn't stand it and started the chant.
"What the hell are they saying?" Logan asked, as Namor's and T'Challa's army were chanting, "Is this some kind of ritual."
"I think it's a chant." Steve corrected Logan, as they could see Loki laughing in the distance.
"Alright! Alright! Let's get it over with!" Lolo interrupted, holding his knives and taunting Thor, "Brother! Did you really think that I would be by your side? That I would protect you?"
"Cut to the chase Loki! We may be outnumbered but our army is stronger! Leave now or we'll kick your ass!" Thor shouted, as their army drew to a shout.
"Yes, that may be an advantage for you but I brought mine." Loki grabbed something in his pocket and drew out the Mind Stone. "I still have this! So, what will it be, King T'Challa? Do you accept my challenge?"
"T'Challa! We have to end this now! Command the attack!" Steve pleaded as T'Challa looked to the ground.
He had fear in his eyes. If they lost, the blame would be placed on him. He's putting his city on the line and Namor and Thor were waiting for his call.
"Loki! I accept your challenge!" T'Challa shouted, as his mask got on, "Now it is on!"
"Let the battle..." Loki took a glimpse at his army and their army, "begin!"
Loki didn't run but his army started running quickly at them. T'Challa knew what was about to come and the others, so they went head on into the battle. T'Challa and the other superheroes were the first one to clash with the Outriders.
Thor threw a Outrider and Logan caught it with his claw. Steve and T'Challa were doing hand to hand combat. Namor commanded his army to attack the weak sides. Bucky was behind them, giving them support by using his shooting ability.
Bucky and Logan went back to back as Outriders started surrounding them. Logan attacked first and sliced two of them open. Bucky got Logan's back as he shot away Outriders trying to get them. It ended with Thor electrocuting the aliens around them.
"This is chaos!" Steve told T'Challa as he took down three Outriders, "I think we can't handle all of them."
"We can. As long as we keep on fig-" T'Challa was tackled by four Outriders and they started removing his armor. They at least tried to. He used the energy to blast all of them at once, "As long as we keep on fighting."
Namor and Thor were the ones who were cleaning house though, they were leading their armies to the place where the Outriders weren't really expecting them. Thor used his lightning and Namor used Earth. The Outriders were only down to nine and a half million at this point. M'Baku and Okoye were leading the army through the middle as they plowed through multiple groups of them.
"If we attack the middle, we can take them out easier." Logan suggested to T'Challa and he nodded, "I got your back."
--New York--
Wanda was on the bed resting as Hope was attending to her. They were hiding in one of Nick Fury's bunkers as the attack outside was raging. The Avengers, Defenders and Fantastic Four were in the same building for the first time. Technically, Reed and Strange were the leaders but Carol was there. Currently though, Reed was trying to find out who was the father of Wanda's baby.
"You know," Reed looked at Wanda struggling, "this would be easier if you would have told them much earlier."
"He's right, Wanda. We would have gotten that examined a month ago." Natasha butted in the conversation.
"Shut the hell-" Wanda shouted as Reed got to work, "up!"
"I'm just saying. Jeez." Natasha went back to the Defenders to explain their next plan.
Strange and Carol were on the stage, trying to map out what was happening. Strange didn't really know much about the cosmic entities but Carol did. She basically lived in the cosmos for her entire life.
"So, what are the Outriders doing here?" Strange asked as he held his beard and stroked it.
"Well, they have one hell of a leader all right. It's name is the Creator. He was the one who created our galaxy, who did the Big Bang. He was the first Celestial in the galaxy. He is treated like a God but he thinks this galaxy is imperfect. He wants to make a restart so he destroys galaxies to make another Big Bang. Lucky for us," Carol chuckled in her thought, "he got to us."
"He can't be here, he has to have a leader for his army here on Earth. Who could that be? Maybe you kn-" Strange was cut off by Reed calling them.
Strange and Carol approached Reed who had paper in his hands. Wanda was sleeping and Pietro was outside making sure no Outrider found them. He was in shock when he was looking at the results.
"What is it now, Reed?" Carol asked as she had her arms crossed.
"I have the results. I know who the father is now." Reed happily and proudly said
"Well then, who is it?" Strange asked in curiosity.
"Steve Rogers."
