Chapter 2: defending New York

Tony Stark, during a discussion with Steve Rogers realizes that Loki will use his newly finished Stark Tower to go through with whatever plan he has for the Tesseract.

Steve aka. Captain America goes to gather the remaining force, meaning Black Widow.

"Time to go." Steve says entering the room Natasha is in.

"Go where?" She asks.

"I´ll tell you on the way, can you fly one of those Jets?" He replies.

"I can." Clint, who now is back to his own self says, stepping out of the adjacent bathroom.

Steve looks to Natasha, who nods to show that Hawkeye is back to normal.

"You got a suit?" Steve asks.

"Yeah." He replies.

"Then suit up." Steve says, pressing since time is of the essence.

"What about the other one?" Natasha asks before Steve takes off.

"I don´t know, try your luck if you think he´ll help us but we don´t have much time." Steve tells her.

"OK, I´ll meet you at the hangar." She tells the two men and goes to where Wei was getting filled in by Maria Hill.

"Hey, can I talk to him?" Natasha asks the woman when she arrives.

"Sure." Mariah replies and leaves the room.

"Hey, first thanks for saving us earlier and I want to ask if you can help us again? I and a few others are about to head out to defend our planet and frankly we can use every hand we can get." Natasha tells him.

After a moment of silence, during which she isn´t sure if Tony´s device translated her at all Wei turns to face her and gives her a slow nod.

"Great, now follow me and we´ll get you a suit." She says and Wei follows her to the armory where she hands him a simple black mission suit and shows him the weapons, where Wei takes a steel bo-staff, since nothing else there fits his fighting style.

"Great to see that you will join us." Steve tells Wei when Natasha and he enter the hangar, heading for their Jet.

Wei only nods in response since they won´t understand a thing he´d say anyways.

Moments later their Jet as well as Tony in his somewhat repaired Ironman suit fly off the Helicarrier and head to Stark Tower.

After trying to stop the machine set up on his rooftop but failing to do so since it is protected by an imbreachable forcefield Tony enters his Tower, loosing his Ironman suit as he goes down his landing platform, while eyeing Loki, who´s making his way in the tower as well from the other side of the balcony.

Tony tries to make Loki give up, but in reality, he only wants to buy time for Jarvis to ready his replacement suit, which he receives just in time after getting thrown out of a window curtesy of the ice giant.

Not long after the machine on his roof reaches full power and shoots a beam into the sky, where a massive portal appears, letting the chitauri army Loki has following him through to earth.

Tony is quick to engage the first wave in a fight but the Chitauri come streaming out of the portal endlessly and start to wreak havok on the city below them, quickly turning New York into a warzone.

While Loki is standing On Stark Tower, watching his army pouring upon the city Thor confronts him and they start to fight each other.

Clint, Natasha, Wei and Steve arrive at the City in the Jet and help Tony, shooting down a few Chitauri on their small flying machines before Loki shoots down one of the planes engine, after which Thor gets the upper hand in their battle since his brother is distracted.

Clint lands the plane in the streets of New York and the four exit the vehicle, heading into the masses running away in panic.

Hearing a loud hammering noise from above the four look up to see what looks like a giant mechanically enhanced wale coming out of the portal, bringing a massive amount of chitauri soldiers down to the ground while tearing through entire buildings with its massive fins.

Loki escapes from Thor by jumping of the tower and onto a glider.

Captain and the others are still gathered, waiting until they´ve devised a plan.

Steve sees a group of civilians flee into a building and goes after them, to protect them from the Chitauri already closing in on their location after Natasha and Clint told him to go ahead while they stay and take care of the Chitauri heading for their location.

Natasha lies down cover fire from behind a car while Clint helps some civilians out of a travel bus.

Wei looks to Natasha, pointing at the Chitauri across the street from them with his staff and punches his fist.

"Yes, those are the guys we need to get rid off." She answers.

Wei takes out his animal skull mask and pulls it over his eyes. After this he jumps out of the cover of the car and runs to the Chitauri, who fire at him. Not knowing they have superior weapons he gets hit and holds his abdomen in pain, where a laser burned through his suit, burning his skin.

Wei takes cover behind another car at this and focuses his musou. He then takes a giant leap, landing behind the Chitauri who turn to face him and swings at them, taking three heads right off their bodies. The other Chitauri all focus on him at seeing this and he releases a shockwave around himself, pushing them over before he stabs the remaining six Chitauri through their torso one by one.

After dealing with the first group of enemies Wei recalls his musou and heads back to Natasha, but not before stepping on one of the Chitauri´s weapons, which are laser guns with blades at the barrel.

He picks up two, swinging them around him, testing their feel and heads back to Natasha, who is looking at him while telling Clint, "I think bringing him was a good idea."

Wei arrives back at Clint and Natasha´s position and helps them fight off newly arriving Chitauri.

Wei slashes at them with both weapons when he accidentally touches the firing trigger on one and shoots right over his shoulder. After this he grabs a piece of metal from a car and wraps it around both hilts while the weapons face away from each other, producing a makeshift voulge while stopping him from accidentally shooting himself.

"Why are you using their weapons?" Clint asks Wei confused when Wei lands beside him, landing on a Chitauri, crushing him beneath his feet.

Wei looks at Clint and points to a stream of incoming Chitauri, just down the road and focuses his musou before throwing the weapon, piercing through five Chitauri with the voulge being stuck in the sixth one.

"Ah, that´s why." Clint says trying to mask his astonishment with sarcasm.

"Quit chatting and help me get rid of them." Natasha says, jumping at a Chitauri heading to them from the side and stabs it with her stun batons.

Clint shoots an arrow at another one arriving behind that one and joins her side.

"Hey, can you handle that side?" Clint asks Wei, pointing to the largest gathering of Chitauri, chasing down Chitauri in the direction where Wei threw his volgue.

Wei nods and runs towards that side, punching two Chitauri in their head, killing them as he runs towards his makeshift weapon. After equipping the weapon, he focuses his musou again and jumps into a large group chasing down civilians into a building two hundred feet away and lands while swirling his voulge over his head and cuts through the aliens around him. Before the rest of the Chitauri can ready themselves to attack the super powered human Wei is already slashing through their lines, while blocking incoming shots with his new weapon.

After he rescued some civilians and told the police what to do Steve rejoins Natasha and Clint on the bridge they split up from. Moments later Thor lands next to them while frying some Chitauri with his lightning.

"What is the story upstairs?" Steve asks the demigod.

"The power surrounding the cube is impenetrable." Thor informs them.

"Thor is right, we gotta deal with these guys." Tony agrees.

"How do we do this?" Natasha asks while motioning Wei to come over to them.

"As a team." Steve says.

"I have unfinished business with Loki." Thor tells the group.

"Well get in line" Hawkeye tells him, preparing his arrows.

"Save it. Loki will keep his fight focused on us and that´s what we want. Without him those things would run wild." Steve says while Wei arrives at the group.

"We got Stark up top…" Steve says but gets interrupted by an engine noise and the group turns to see Bruce Banner arrive behind the war hero on a motor cycle.

"So, this all seems horrible." Bruce says, getting off the bike.

"I´ve seen worse." Natasha says, looking at Bruce.

"Sorry." He apologizes, knowing she meant when she was getting chased down by him as the Hulk.

"No, we could use a little worse." Natasha informs him.

"Stark we got Banner." Steve tells Tony over his com.

"Well tell him to suit up. Cause I´m bringing the party to you." Tony tells them and flies around the corner with the giant whale-like Chitauri flying behind him.

"Doctor Banner, now might be a good time to get angry." Steve tells Bruce, who is walking towards the giant beast.

"That´s my secret captain, I´m always angry." Bruce tells him and turns into the hulk while Wei, not knowing that Bruce is the Hulk powered up and charged forward, upon seeing Banner, now as the Hulk punch the beasts head into the street below, causing the rest of the body to flip over in their direction Wei jumps up and releases a massive slash with musou energy from the edge of his blade, cutting the body in two and sending one half flying over the rest of the groups heads whith the other half flopping back down behind the beast lifelessly lying on the street.

"Whoa, that guy has some serious fire-power." Tony says, having aimed at the body with a missile but retrieves the projectile back into his suit.

Loki sees this and calls for the rest of his army.

"Uhm guys." Natasha says, looking to the two new beasts coming out of the portal with the other Chitauri on gliders.

"Alright, listen up. Until we close that portal up there, we need to contain it. Barton, I need you on that roof, eyes on everything." Steve tells Hawkeye.

"Stark, guard the perimeter. If anything gets more than three blocks out, you turn it back or you turn it to ash." He tells Ironman, who flies away with Hawkeye, delivering him on the rooftop.

"Thor, you gotta try to bottleneck that portal. You got the lightning so light those bastards up." Steve tells the demigod who also flies away.

We three stay on the ground and keep the fighting going here. Hulk, smash!" Steve tells the rest of the group.

Hulk grins at this and jumps at the nearest Chitauri, who is climbing up a building and flattens it beneath himself before jumping across the street and repeating it with more Chitauri and starts to jump around attacking anything within reach.

Thor reaches the top of a tower and calls for lightning from the clouds, using himself and the metal of the tower as conductor to send lightning blasts at the Chitauri coming out of the portal.

Hulk starts to attack the first of the two beasts which arrived through the portal and tries to punch his way through its hardened armor while riding on it.

Meanwhile Ironman and Hawkeye take out a few of the Chitauri gliders.

"We gotta close up that portal." Natasha tells Steve after they finished off their respective Chitauri soldiers.

"Our biggest guns didn´t do anything." Steve reminds her.

"Well maybe it's not about the biggest gun." She replies.

"Well if you want to get up there you will need a ride." Steve tells her.

"Hey, Wei can you get me up there?" She asks her new ally, pointing at the top of Stark tower.

Wei looks at it and nods his head.

"Looks like I got a ride." She tells Steve, who then engages some Chitauri heading his way while Wei runs towards her, holding out his hand for her and swings her around, onto his back where she grabs onto his shoulders while he calls forth his musou, yellow energy glowing around him and jumps at a nearby building, only reaching halfway up but he jumps off its walls across the streets and onto the opposite buildings roof. From there he jumps onto two other roofs, closing the distance to the tower immensely and lands at the largest building next to the tower.

He runs towards the tower and jumps up as far as he can, still being about 30 feet away from the platform and offers Natasha the blunt side of his weapon, which she grabs before he swings it upwards, giving her a massive boost, enough for her to fly up onto the landing pad, where she lands unceremoniously due to her speed, while Wei crashes into the tower on another level.

He turns around and quickly jumps out of the tower, landing back on the roof of the opposite building and then jumps towards the beast flying around, landing on one of its giant fins.

While he is doing this Thor and Hulk are fighting off Chitauri on the other beasts back and Hulk rips out a piece of its armor shell, stabbing it down into its neck, after which Thor swings down at it while infusing his hammer with lightning, killing the beast and making it crash into the train station.

Hawkeye sees Loki flying around on a glider and fires an arrow at him, only for Loki to catch it, after which the arrow explodes in his face, taking out his glider and making the demigod crash into the top of the tower. Loki gets no chance to recover when Hulk jumps up at him and smashes him into the towers top floor.

"Enough! I am a god you dull creature, you are all beneath me." Loki announces loudly, but Hulk only grabs one of his legs and swings him around him into the floor like a ragdoll before rejoining the fight outside.

Meanwhile Natasha found previously knocked out and controlled the scientist next to the machine on the roof and he explains that the scepter might be able to cut of the portal´s power.

Wei, after jumping onto the remaining beast fights off the Chitauri climbing up to him while charging up his musou, gaining more strength the more enemies he defeats, like falling into a berserker mode. When he feels like he has enough power he lifts up his voulge and stabs it down while a gigantic energy blade sprouts out from the underside of the beast and Wei runs down its back, slashing it in half before jumping off and falling to the ground, where he has a rough landing, skipping a few times before stopping by landing in the side of a bus.

Not long after they get alerted by Fury that a nuke is heading right for New York city and Tony wants to shove it through the portal before they close it with the scepter which Natasha already retrieved from the balcony below, where Loki landed after being shot down curtesy of Hawkeye.

Tony uses the last of his suits power to fly the nuke through the portal, where he sees a massive attack ship from where the Chitauri forces are coming from and watches it go up in flames while he is falling down helplessly and loosing consciousness due to the lack of oxygen.

"Close it." Steve says heavily, while everyone looks up to the portal, where a red light can be seen from while the Chitauri all fall down lifelessly.

Natasha pushes the staff into the forcefield of the machine and couches its core, shutting off the device, thanks to the failsafe the scientist left in the machine sub consciously.

They watch the portal close quickly, only to be relieved when they see a human fall out of it before its gone.

"He´s not slowing down." Thor says, seeing Tony plummet towards earth, until the Hulk catches him midair and lands on his back to protect Tony from the fall.

Steve and Thor hurry over to where the Hulk landed and look for a sign of life from their inventor friend.

After a few seconds of distraught silence, where they think Stark died Hulk roars at the man lying helplessly on the ground in his suit and jolt him awake.

"What the hell?" Tony asks freaking out.

"What just happened? Please tell me nobody kissed me." He says.

"We won." Steve tells him.

"Alright, yay. Good job guys but let's just not come in to work tomorrow." Tony tells them.

"We´re not finished yet." Thor says, looking to the top of Stark Tower where his brother is."

Days later the group meet up again to send off Thor, who is taking Loki back to Asgaard with him.

Once the two semigods left Natasha and Hawkeye head back to shield while Steve and Banner go off on their own.

Wei goes with Stark, who offered to help him get used to their world and to teach him English if only to keep the powerful being out of Fury´s hands.
