You stared at the door before you heard footsteps to the side. Wanda stopped when she saw you and raised a brow.
Wanda: Darling?
Y/N: This door is new.
Wanda looked at you confused before she looked at the door. Indeed, this door wasn't there before. This was the manor once again messing with you. Or Burns itself.
Wanda: What's inside?
You sighed.
Y/N: I don't know. I've been trying to open this door since I woke up. It won't even budge.
Wanda hummed and lifted her hands. She tried to cast magic upon it, but it was no use. Wanda pouted.
Wanda: That's never happened before.
You just shrugged.
Y/N: Whatever. If we can't get in, whatever is inside can't get out. I hope.
You and Wanda looked at each other uncertain. But that was quickly stopped when you heard a knock echo through the manor. You had a visitor.
Y/N: Uh, were we expecting anyone?
Wanda shook her head. You both headed to the front door but you found Robbie already there. He opened the door and looked at whoever was standing there.
Robbie: Uh, hi?
You eventually reached a place where you could see who it was that was at the door. Your eyes grew wide.
Amora: Hello. I'm looking for...
Y/N: You!
The two both turned around just as you flew past Robbie. You tackled Amora into the snow while Wanda and Robbie rushed out to stop the fight.
Amora: Ah. I see you missed me.
Y/N: What are you doing here?!
You popped out your claws and held them to her neck. She worked to the Ten Rings. She was a villain.
Amora raised her hands up as Tandy and Laura walked out to see what the commotion was.
Tandy: What's going on here?
Laura sniffed the air and her eyes grew wide.
Laura: Isn't that...
Y/N: Talk, Amora! Why are you here?!
Amora: If you could spare me a moment, I can explain.
You felt a hand on your shoulder and you looked back to see Robbie.
Robbie: Maybe we should hear her out. She wouldn't be here if it wasn't something important.
Amroa: I say listen to the boy.
You looked at her for a moment before you got off if her. You retracted your claws and glared at her.
Y/N: This better be good.
-----------
You gathered the other Strikers after you had Wanda bound Amora to the couch. Everyone was now here, meaning it was story time.
Molly: Who is she?
Toxin was in her shoulder as she sat on a nearby windowsill.
Y/N: She worked with the Ten Rings. The people who turned me into a Godslayer and tried to make me a weapon.
Amora: To be fair, I was never a part of the original group.
Laura: Doesn't matter. What are you doing here, Enchantress?
Amora sighed. So much for a friendly welcome.
Amora: I came to warn you. Not all of you, but since you're here....
Wanda: What do you mean you came here to warn us?
Amora shot her a look before she turned to you.
Amora: A threat is coming. Something that even the Avengers will not be able to withstand.
That sounds....bad.
Tyrone: What kind of threat?
Amora: The Final Host. A celestial that was defeated over a million years ago. It's body was buried here, on earth.
Everyone seemed stunned. You shook your head.
Y/N: I'm sorry, back it up a bit. You're telling me that a celestial was killed a million years ago? And that it's buried on earth?
Amora: Yes. I believe you call that land, Africa?
That wasn't good. That wasn't good at all.
Amora: Ah, yes. And it is not buried anymore.
Everyone froze as you looked at Amora with wide eyes.
Y/N: Then where the fuck is it?
Amora sighed before she lowered her head.
Amora: That's why I'm here. I was visited by Odin's son.
Molly: Odin's son? Thor?
Amora laughed a bit.
Amora: No. Not Thor.
Tandy: Then who?
Amora looked at you.
Amora: Loki. He has awakened the Final Host.
You clenched your fists and groaned.
Y/N: So much for getting some more training in.
Everyone looked at you in surpised.
Robbie: You're joking.
Tyrone: Y/N....
You just looked at Amora and sighed.
Y/N: I'll deal with this mess. And if Loki has to die to save the world, then I guess that's what we'll do.
Amora: Save the world? You misunderstand badly, Monster. I speak of only death and damnation. There is no salvation to come. Not for any of us. You cannot stop the Final Host. No matter what fools you recruit to your cause.
She eyed the other Strikers but you just crossed your arms.
Y/N: We'll see about that. We're some pretty impressive fools.
Tandy grabbed your shoulder.
Tandy: A word, please?
Without waiting for your response, she pulled you along as the others huddled up in the corner.
Robbie: The fuck are you doing?!
Y/N: What?
Tandy: Don't you "what" us! Why are you so nonchalant about this?! She just said that these things are death and damnation!
Tyrone: We barely survived Dormammu. How are we supposed to fight this thing?
Y/N: Guys, chill. This might not even be that bad. Trust me. I'll go and check out this Final Host thing.
Everyone seemed hesitant, but they trusted you. You all broke and you turned back to Amora.
Y/N: Okay, you. Time to go to Africa.
---------------
Robbie sighed as he looked at the engine of his car. You and Amora had left a while ago through somekind of portal. He didn't like the idea of leaving you with him, but he's also seen what you can do.
Besides, he had other things on his mind.
Gabe: When can we go for a ride again, Robbie?
Robbie shook his head before he closed the hood. The reflection wasn't his own, however.
It was the Rider.
Laura herself chose to go for a walk around town. She scrolled through her phone before she walked past two shiphands. They grinned as they watched her.
Sailer: Hey, baby. You need some company?
Laura rolled her eyes.
Laura: No. Go away.
The sailer just laughed as he walked towards her.
Sailer: Hey, I'm just trying to look out for you, girl. This is a scary place.
Laura: So's my head. Still trying to keep it together. Just wanna be alone.
Sailer: Nobody wants to be alone. Why don't we go get a drink someplace and talk about it? Luke maybe my place.
He placed a hand on Laura's should.
Sailer: C'mon, I bet there's all kinda seem underneath that...
Laura popped out her claws and grabbed the man by the collar.
Laura: I said leave me alone!
She pushed the man down who quickly scrambled to his feet to run away. Laura took a deep breath and retracted her claws before she turned back around.
Laura: Fucking idiot.
----------------
You looked around the cave you found yourself in with a flame in your hand. You were currently in a cavern under Africa with Amora behind you.
You made it very clear what you would do if she tried anything.
Eventually, you reached an area which opened up widely. You looked around before you found three dead bodies piled up to the side.
Y/N: These must be the lead archeologists for this dig.
Amora: It's a surprisingly danger profession, I assume. Cursed tombs, crashed Skull ships, and now dead celestial.
You looked around for a moment. This entire cavern was empty. Looks like Amora was right.
Loki woke up the Final Host.
Y/N: Shit. I need to warn the others.
Amora: That would do nothing. Not even you stand a chance against...
Y/N: Look, if you came to warn us, then you did your job. If you're going to be a downer, then you can leave, now.
You walked past her which made her gasped.
Amora: I never...
Y/N: Either leave, or help us.
Amora crossed her arms. You were seriously okay with her helping you? Why?
Suddenly, the ground began to shake. You grabbed the wall and groaned.
Y/N: Shit.
Amora: They're coming.
You ran past her and she followed. Once you reached the topside once again, you looked up into the sky. You could almost see something falling from the sky above.
Y/N: This isn't good.
Amora: That's why we cannot stay here.
You nodded.
Y/N: You're right. Take us back to Burns. It's time to gather the Strikers.
--------------
Everyone was already gathered outside of the Manor when you and Amora returned. They were all watching the sky as large objects fell down towards earth.
Tyrone: Is this you guys?
You shook your head.
Y/N: No. The Final Host was gone when we got there. But there's no time for us to stand around. Whatever the Final Host is, a hundred more just like it falling from the skies.
And you were right. All around the world, the bodies of dead celestial fall from the skies. They crashed down in Egypt near the pyramids. On London Bridge. In Detroit. Even in the ocean itself.
However, they were all still dead.
And their killers would soon appear.
You pulled out your phone and made a call.
Widow: Kid?! You alright?!
Y/N: I'm fine. Listen, you need to round up the Avengers and SHIELD and start getting everyone to safety.
Widow: What? What are you....
Y/N: Just trust me. Things are only going to get worse.
Widow: Kid, what's going on?
You looked back at the sky.
Y/N: The Final Host. The Strikers are already on it. Just focus on helping everyone.
You hung up and put your phone away. Suddenly, the sky turned dark.
You all looked up as a portal opened in the Sky. And from it, came three large figures.
The Final Hosts.
Yes.
As in more than one.
Tyrone: Holy shit.
However, what really caught your attention was the smaller portal that had opened in front of them.
???: Well, this is interesting. I don't remember the Avengers being so young.
Amora: No. Loki!
Loki stepped into view and laughed as he expanded his arms out with a smile.
Loki: Amora, my dear! So good to see you again!
You all stood there confused for a moment.
Tandy: That's Loki? He looks kinda....One Directionish.
Laura: I like his nails.
Loki: I see you've all met my new friends, the Final Host. Don't mind me, I'm just here to lend a helping hand as they avenge the greatest wrong of all time, and correct the grievous mistake they made one million years ago. I suppose you might might it, salvation through Global Extinction. And it begins now.
He lifted his staff which fired off a kind of powerful energy. Wanda and Tandy created a shield, but the blast broke it and sent you all flying back. You quickly got up and popped out your claws as did Laura. Tyrone flew up and opened his cloak before trying to attack Loki.
He just laughed before one of the Celestials started to move. It created a fist and lifted it up. It seemed like it was moving in slow motion by the size of the giant.
It then brought it's fist down.
Y/N: Everyone, scatter!
You ignited your feet and grabbed Laura and Tandy while Wanda grabbed Molly. Robbie jumped in his car and hit the gas.
You all moved as quickly as you could as Tyrone followed with Amora. The fist hit the ground which sent Robbie's car flying up which hit you. You went falling down with Tandy and Laura as the ground itself began to crack.
Loki: Face it, Avengers. You cannot win this fight.
You pushed yourself up and wiped the blood from your mouth.
Y/N: Stop calling is the Avengers, dude!
Everyone regrouped at you as you ignited your fist. Laura popped out her claws. Robbie pulled out his chain. Wanda created magical energy around her hands. Tyrone opened his cloak. Tandy created daggers. Toxin covered Molly. Even Amora created a spell.
Loki: Oh? Then who stands in our way?
You grinned.
Y/N: Us? We're a new team.
Your flames grew as you took a deep breath.
Y/N: Strikers, STRIKE!
The Final Hosts were here. But so were you.
Time to live up to your name, Godslayer.
