Chapter 16 - The Battle Of Stark Tower XIV

Another Leviathan soon left the portal before Hulk could launch at it once more a wide crack spread throughout the city as a man in shiny armor landed with the sound of thunder on top of the Leviathan sending it tumbling towards the ground.

Soon chitari spread out from the sides of the creature before it could hit the earth. But no matter how many times they took these things out more rained from above.

On the ground a man in a costume with a resemblance to the devil was taking ground faster then seemed humanly possible.

But he needed to rest if only to recharge with his chi. As if answering his call a man dress like the American flag soon gave him the calm he needed.

"Thank for the help soldier" as he went his own way ignoring the strangeness of such a get up. There were only 20 or so four armed remaining but that didn't seem to matter.

Soon Hulk was getting irritated at the endless swarms of aliens to crush. 'Hey buddy why does that Loki guy get to sit back while you fight show him he is no god'

Hulk stood there for one second before his body seemed to pulse green for a brief second "Coward, Hulk show who true strongest there is!!!"

What seemed like a little to high of a jump for him earlier seemed to be a lie as he landed on the balcony of Stark Tower.

"Mindless createn do you believe youself to be above a GOD!"

On all fours Hulk charged at Loki as he shot blasts from his septor before being grabbed by the ankle and tossed to the back wall.

"You would no-" quickly grabbing his ankle once more swinging him left to right repeatedly before walking off.

"PUNY god"

A few minutes prior Arden had arrived on the roof of Stark Tower stop it was a diamond like man in stark green armor firing a beam from his chest towards the portal.

"Why have you come Loxaran what do you hope to accomplish?"

The beam cut out as the being stared towards Arden"Dominion is all that is necessary and with Loki by our side the Loxarans will rule!"

Arden went in for a strike to Nástrond's chin on to be blocked as he expected what was unexpected was the skill he showed no matter how dialated his time was the barrier held strong.

-

The sheer numbers of the Chatari were overwhelming The Avengers exhaustion threatened at the door.

"Stark we got a nuke heading for manhatten can you stop it" Fury spoke from the comms

"I can do you one better I can put it where it belongs; Friday summon Icarus"

As Tony shot towards the incoming bomb a set of wings quickly followed attaching itself to Tonys back "Icarus initiated". Suddenly Tony's speed more than doubled.

-

Few minutes earlier back on Stark Tower Arden remained locked in a battle where he seemed he had the disadvantage slowly his skin fell away revealing his purple inhumane appearance.

Soon he shattered like glass but he did not die he soon arrived now a dark green appearance laid across his body. With this new found stamina he fought once more.

Howard over comms"there's no way to break through his barrier unless we could find something that could admit the same energy output as this guy"

Bruce understood just what needed to be done.'Hulk do you see that shiny guy on the roof he is gonna get Arden unless you through that stick at him really hard'

"Shiny guy want to hurt friend, shiny guy will not!"

Grabbing the scepter by the bottom and chucked it towards the shiny guy piercing him through the right leg with little efforts going right through him.

Now to anyone else septor was far too fast to see you alone intercept but for the current green Arden on the roof he could see it as it passed through the man's leg he grabbed it out of the air.

This of course sent him flying a few meters but that was unimportant as he quickly made it back to Nástrond ready to end him.

"Could you hold off on the whole saving the world thing we're got to save this city first"

Just then as Arden was about to look up he saw a giant casting of a shadow like an angel as a man flew over his head with cascading wings towards the rift without any hesitation.

Once through the suit lost all power all the remained were the wings of Icarus. Hurtling him towards Earth once more.

Nástrond looked up at Arden before grabbing the scepter by the hilt it's stabbing his own heart directly where the space Stone was shattering it to pieces "All that you love will burn you Damned Chronobit"

Tony soon fell through the portal his suit and shambles only thing remaining was a highly damaged pair of wings as he fell to the Earth without missing a beat Hulk caught Red Hawk from the air.

Down below their many Chatari collapsed without warning because without their mothership they had no sentience no mind soon the streets began to calm before.

A ethereal wave spread from the top of Stark Tower across the entirety of Earth preparing to collapse it in like a dying star before a bald women connected with the Earth.

Gaia quickly began focusing the energy towards the ground instead of the people with the help of the ancient One it could be done. For the next 3 days the world trembled ever so slightly trees turn blue grass didn't blue flowers began to Glow until without warning it all stopped as if on hold.

POV Ororo Monroe

The Earth groans beneath her feet, its pain resonating through every storm cloud and gust of wind. Storm has always felt the weather, but this... this is different. It's not just a connection it's a calling.

She clutches the message tightly, her heart thunderous in her chest. "Stabilize the Earth." She doesn't know who sent it or why it feels like the wind itself carried the words to her ears. The world is broken, and somehow, it knows her. It needs her.

Alone, unsure of where she truly comes from, Ororo feels fear but not the kind that paralyzes. It sharpens her. She isn't just a mutant. Not right now. She is a force of balance, a guardian of harmony. And even if she doesn't understand the why, she knows this:

The storm is not chaos. It is correction. And she is its will.
