My Uncle passed away a few days ago. It wasn't from the Coronavirus but that doesn't change how the fact he is gone. My Mom and I are still recovering, he was her younger brother, and in his will, he wants to be cremated and his ashes spread over Long Beach Island like Grandpa. I just hope this quarantine ends soon so we can do it.

Anyway, now the answer to the question you've all be waiting for, along with the beginning of the battle of Wakanda. Read, enjoy, and review!

(A Few Hours Ago)

Systems slowly coming online, Cosmos came out of stasis lock. Shaking his helm and getting his scanners oriented, the red-helmed mech realized that he was floating in outer space. It took a moment, but his processors finally recalled what happened. When the Sharkticons began their bombing run on the Autobot Moon Base, Cosmos was a bit too slow to get back to the outpost. So, he had to alter his course by jumping backwards to avoid the blast. However, he was not prepared by how strong the explosion was, as the shockwave made Cosmos lose his footing and sent him flying into space. Primus must've been smiling down on him as the Sharkticons didn't even notice him.

As his functions had finished fully coming online, Cosmos spotted something from the corner of his vision. Heading towards him was a large ring-shaped spacecraft, the same one that the Sharkticons had been escorting. Unable to move, Cosmos had no choice but allow himself to get whacked by the large vessel, just barely managing to grab on before he was flung away. Digging his digits into the ship, Cosmos was able to tear open a small bit, enough for him to squeeze through. It was a good thing to as the ship entered a wormhole, and Cosmos would've been seriously damage by the sudden jump.

As he got his bearings, Cosmos' scanners were picking up three human signals coming from inside the vessel. Walking while adjusting his audio receptors, he could hear two of them.

"Wow, you're a seriously loyal piece of outerwear, aren't you?" A male voice said.

"Yeah, uh, speaking of loyalty…" Came a second male voice, though younger.

It was clear that the older male was annoyed as the younger one began speaking rapidly. "I know what you're gonna say to me."

"You should not be here."

"I was gonna go home."

"I don't wanna hear it!"

"But it was such a long way down and I just thought about-"

"And now I gotta hear it."

"And this suit is, ridiculously intuitive, by the way. So, if anything, it's kind of your fault that I'm here…"

"What did you just say?"

"I take that back. And now I'm here in space."

"Yeah. Right where I didn't want you to be. This isn't Coney Island, or some field trip. This is a one-way ticket. Do you hear me? Don't pretend you thought this through."

"I did think this through. You can't be a friendly neighborhood Spider-Man if there's no neighborhood." There was a pause after that odd statement. "Okay, that didn't make sense, but you know what I'm trying to say."

By the end of the conversation Cosmos had walked upon two human males…and a floating cape. Both humans were wearing advanced armor that were made of nanites according to Cosmos' scanners. The sound of his pedes hitting the floor drew all threes' attention on him.

"Whoa!" Cosmos said, raising his servos. "I'm a friendly!"

Tony Stark had one of his repulsors raised until he spotted a familiar symbol on Cosmos' armor. "You're with the yellow and blue robots." Tony said, showing an image of said mechs.

Cosmos tilted his helm, taking a moment to register whom he was referring to. "You mean Bumblebee and Evac? Yeah, we're part of the same faction. I'm guessing you two also ended here because of whoever was piloting this weird ship."

"Basically yeah." Stark commented. "Right now, though, we need to save a magician."

As if to prove his point, a loud scream vibrated across the ship, startling the three stowaways. Cosmos then spoke up. "Look, I'm willing to help, but I'm picking up tons of non-human lifeforms on this ship, near where the third human is. All of whom I'm guessing are not friendly."

"First, we do some recon, then we work out a plan. Okay?" Stark said as he led the other three, including the cape, towards the noise.

Not to long later, the four were looking over a balcony. Down below was Dr. Strange, being held in mid-air telekinetically by Ebony Maw. Surrounding the Doctor were dozens of needles that whenever they touched Strange, would cause him to show expressions of pain. Finally, there were several Chitauri soldiers armed with energy guns. Some were beside Ebony while others were taking up positions behind and above Strange.

"Well this is not a good situation." Cosmos commented. "Just one of them could hold the human at gun point and we still have those who are covering from above."

"Yeah, this an't going to be a walk in the park." Tony said in agreement. He looked at Peter. "What about you kid, got anything?"

Peter was silent, studying the situation. He then said, "Okay, okay. Okay, you ever see this really old movie Aliens?"

Back with Ebony Maw, the Black Order member continued his interrogation. He smirked as he noticed the Doctor's discomfort. "Painful, are they not?" He asked, indicating to the needles. "They were originally intended to be used for microsurgery. In fact, anyone of them could…" Maw's explanation was cut off when he heard a noise behind him. Turning around, Maw saw it was Iron Man, repulsors raised and at the ready.

"Going to ask you once, Squidward. Let the doc go." Iron Man warned.

Several of the Chitauri point their weapons at Stark, while some point theirs at Strange. Maw merely gave the Avenger a glare. "You demand when the odds are stacked in my favor?" He asked mockingly.

In that moment, Spider-Man made his move. Crawling on the ceiling, he shot numerous spider nets at the Chitauri. The alien soldiers all howled as they could not break free of their bindings. "I always make sure to have a good hand when betting, pal." Iron Man said as he walked closer.

"Even without them, I could still end your friend's life in an instant." Maw said, his confidence unchanged.

"I gotta tell ya, he's not really my friend. Saving his life is more of a professional courtesy." Iron Man said nonchalantly.

Maw growled. "You saved powers are inconsequential compared to mine." To add to his point, several objects were floating beside him as Maw was floating too.

Tony smirked. "Yeah, but the kid's seen more movies." And then he fired a shoulder missile that destroyed the nearby wall. Then the vacuum of space kicked in and pulled Maw out. The Black Order could only let out a short scream before being sucked into space, followed by the Chitauri. Strange would've joined him if Cosmos did not jump in front of him. Using his large frame and mass, he held Strange in place while Stark sealed the hole with his Zero Cannon, the coolant spray closing it shut.

Cosmos finally released Strange, the Cloak of Levitation returning to his master's shoulders. The Autobot stared at the now closed hole and then at the humans. "Well…that was a lot easier than I thought it would be."

(Cybertron, Sea of Rust)

A Cybertronian dropship was making it way over the Sea of Rust. Below them was a K130 Braunschweig class Corvette riding across said sea, completely unaffected by the acidic liquid. They were currently heading towards a large station near the edge of the sea, the target of the two femmes aboard the dropship and the large mech. Said station was colored primarily white and grey, with bits of black and red too. Towering over buildings even in the rebuilt Iacon, and despite the dozens of rust and damage done to it, the station held an aura of magnificent in its own way. As it got bigger as they got closer, Moonracer checked her scanner.

"That's definitely where the energon signal is coming from." The teal femme said. "But I can't find any records of this station, not even from the ones saved by Alpha Trion."

"Whatever it is, it might be worth checking out." Broadside said through the comms.

Once the corvette was close enough, it transformed into a large silver and red mech who was the same size as Stratosphere. The dropship landed and its doors opened, with the femmes exiting the craft. "Broadside, we're going to scout on the ground. Take to the air and tell us what you see." Moonracer said.

"Copy that." Replied Broadside. He then transformed into his third mode, a Boeing C-17A Globemaster III and took to the sky. He immediately began scanning the base, taking in the large cannons. "Hmm, it's in surprisingly good condition. Besides the patches of rust, I'm not seeing much damage. Looks like the only entrance is the main one. About three clicks to the north."

"Got it, we're moving." Moonracer said as she and Firestar then transformed into a teal Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R and a red Honda Davidson Sportster respectively and headed off towards the building. Thirty minutes later, the duo arrived to what appeared to be a small doorway. Activating their built-in lights, the femmes entered, their optics and scanners focused as they walked through the dark corridor. Just like the outside, the interior was filled with numerous rust spots, but the damage was not that bad.

"This base is quite sturdy to remain in good condition for so long." Firestar commented.

"Or someone has kept it like that." Moonracer added. "We may not be the first ones here."

Firestar huffed some air. "Way to make me feel uncomfortable Moonracer."

The femmes continued exploring the base, searching for any signs of life. Eventually, their venture led them to a large room that looked like a security station. There were several large screens next to one another with a console underneath it. "Looks like a command console." Firestar commented.

"A good place to start." Moonracer said as the two femmes approached the console. Typing in, they managed to bring the screens to life. Searching for any information, they discovered that the base they were in had been around for a long time, since the Dynasty of the Primes and had been even used as a base against the Celestials when they invaded. Moonracer frowned. "How could something that has been around during the Dynasty not have been found until now?"

"It could be like you said: maybe someone was keeping this place intact and out of sight." Firestar said, giving her own response.

A loud thud was heard from somewhere nearby, causing both femmes to jump before spinning around, weapons at the ready. Moonracer had her plasma cannon focused on the ceiling while Firestar aimed her photon rifle at the entrance. "Or maybe, that person is still here."

(Nidavellir)

"The Dwarves are known for a lot of things. But leaving a mess is not one of them." Thor said as he touched a dusty piece of metal with a digit.

Omega Supreme had arrived to where the Dwarves lived not too long ago. However, instead of finding a thriving civilization, the group was met with a dead neutron star and damaged Alderson disk that surrounded it. The place was lifeless as Cybertron once was. It was not a pleasant sight, nor did it inspire hope for them.

Once the Ark settled down, a group consisting of Nova, Thor, Cogman, Rocket, Evac and Groot disembarked to explore the destroyed Realm. So far, they had found no signs of life, not a single Dwarf. There wasn't even a forge being used. "Personally, I always thought the Dwarves might be a little untidy when doing work, but this is something else." Cogman said as he tried to find something that could tell them what happened.

"Well, they gotta be somewhere…right?" Rocket asked, making sure Groot didn't get lost as he continued playing his game.

It was then something caught Nova's attention, making him freeze in place. "Uh, Mr. Thor…"

"Thor is fine, young friend." The Asgardian replied.

"Thor. Well, not to bring up old memories, but you said that Thanos was using a Gauntlet for the Stones, right?" Nova asked. When the Asgardian nodded, Nova continued. "Did it look something like that?" He raised a finger and pointed to his left. Following his gaze, the others saw a left-handed version of the Infinity Gauntlet resting on a pedestal.

A horrifying realization came upon them before they were suddenly attacked by a large mass. The attacker swatted Thor aside before trying to stomp Rocket and Groot, the Racoon pulling his tree friend out of the way. Cogman grabbed Nova while Evac lunged at the foe, grappling with them as the Cybertronian tried to pin them down.

Thor, who had just gotten up, looked at his attacker. His eyes widened. "Eitri!" He exclaimed.

True enough, the being who was wrestling with Evac was none other than Eitri, King of the Dwarves and ruler of Nidavellir.

"That's a dwarf?" Nova whispered besides Cogman. "Aren't they supposed to be…shorter?"

"A misconception my lord. While most dwarves are, the ones of Nidavellir are taller than most humanoids. To be more precise, those of royal blood are." Cogman answered.

"Thor…" Eitri mumbled as he stepped away from Evac, the Autobot doing the same. There was a mix of rage and grief in the Dwarf's eyes. "You were supposed to protect us. Asgard was supposed to protect us!"

Understanding his friend's rage, Thor still defended himself. "Eitri, Asgard is gone. Destroyed by Ragnarok. But Eitri…" Thor said, looking at the left-handed Gauntlet. "The glove, Eitri. What did you do?" He demanded.

Eitri's face changed to one of shame as he sat down on top of a pile of metal. It was then everyone noticed that the Dwarf's hands were covered in metal, forever forming fists. "Three hundred Dwarves lived on this ring. I thought if I did what he asked, they'd be safe. I made what he wanted: a device capable of harnessing the power of the Stones. And he killed everyone anyway. All except me. 'Your life is yours', he said. 'But your hands... Your hands are mine alone.'"

Thor could see how hard this all hit him. Losing his people, losing his hand, being responsible for giving Thanos the means to complete his mad plan, Eitri probably felt like the biggest scum in the universe. But Thor knew differently. "Eitri, believe me I know that it feels like all hope is lost. Trust me, I've been there. But all the weapons you've made over the centuries, swords, axes, hammers and so on. None of those were made thanks to your hands, but by your head. And now I need that head of yours, to help me kill Thanos."

Clang! Clang!

The sound of two heavy objects hitting the ground caught their attention. Before Eitri's feet were the two metal cuffs that covered his hands, now twisted, and opened, allowing them to slip out. On his other side was Nova, Cogman near him. He looked at the Dwarf King and Asgard King and said, "Though the ideas did come from his head, it wouldn't hurt to be able to use his hands." Nova said, having used his electromagnetism powers to free Eitri of his bonds.

The young Prime then looked at the Dwarf King. Said person was looking at his hands, still trying to comprehend that he was now free. "My name is Nova Prime. And I believe you have something that belongs to me."

(Few Minutes Later)

Eitri escorted the group deeper into the ring, far away from where they had met. "Solus Prime was someone even the Dwarven Kings of old admired. Her smith skills were considered a thing of beauty for many and that she shared some of her secrets to us, and honor. When Alpha Trion came to us to protect her Forge, we could not refuse."

They stopped in front of a wall, currently covered by a pile of scrap. Moving aside said pile, Eitri revealed a symbol on the wall. The Cybertronians recognized it as the personal sigil of Solus Prime herself. "The moment Thanos came, I ordered that this be hidden. I feared that if the Mad Titan found it, he might try to use the hammer for his own ends, even if he couldn't bring out its full potential." Eitri added.

Pressing his hand against the symbol, it recognized him and glowed momentarily. When it stopped, the wall parted, revealing it to be a door. A door to a vault. And inside said vault were few items. At the back were five large Cybertronian stasis pods. In front of them, located in the very center, floating in midair thanks to a gravity projector, was a large golden hammer. Just like the vault door it too bore the symbol of Solus Prime and radiated an aura that one would call divine.

Nova Prime approached the hammer, the others not doing anything. Slowly he raised a hand towards the hammer. As if recognizing him, the hammer began to shift, plates began to fold inwards and it started to shrink. Once done, the now human-sized hammer floated downwards until it was in Nova's hands. The Prime gripped the hammer, feeling it and the power that seemed to flow through the device.

"Well?" Thor asked.

"It's the hammer, the Forge of Solus Prime." Nova declared as he looked towards the others.

"Great" Rocket said. "Then let's get it to work and make this Thanos-killing weapon already."

"I don't think I can properly use it right now." Nova told the racoon. He then looked at the Neutron Star, still dead, and the cold unused the forges. "But I think I can get it to power the rest of this place. Then we can really get to work on that weapon for Thor."

"If you can get the forge working again, I will gladly make the weapon that will avenge my people. A king's weapon, that will be the greatest in Asgard. It shall even be able to summon the Bifrost." Eitri promised, a look of determination and vengeance on his face.

"Does it have a name?" Thor asked.

"Stormbreaker."

Leaving, the others prepared to get the forge operational. Nova had paused for a moment, looking at the pods. He could sense spark signs inside, but they appeared to be in a life and death state, something Nova had never seen before. Another point of interest he noticed were that each pod had a single, yet different Cybertronian letter inscribed on them. From left to right, they were: N. E. X. U. S.

(Wakanda, Earth)

Heading towards where the highest concentration of hostile dropships had landed, the allied forces headed out. The Wakanda Royal Guard, Border Tribe, Dora Milaje, their king, Bucky, and the Avengers were riding aboard Wakanda transports. Driving and flying beside them were the Autobots, three Decepticons, War Machine, Falcon, the NEST Tank Division, and Bruce inside the Hulkbuster armor. The Dinobots had already gone ahead to prepare for the upcoming battle. From the rear were several Apache Helicopters and Dragon Flyers, ready to provide air support.

When they reached where the Jabari and Dinobots were already stationed, the humans disembarked and got into formation. The Cybertronians transformed and readied their weapons. NEST forces meanwhile took up position on top of a hill at the rear. Colonel Lennox walked across the M1 Abraham Tanks, Anti-Air M42 Dusters, and his men. "We stay here. The hostiles are believed to have air support, so our job will be to shoot them down before they reach the city." Lennox explained to his men as some of them readied heavy machine guns, stingers, and other AA weapons to be used.

At the same time, Optimus Prime, still in his alt mode, drove up towards the dome, with T'Challa, Steve and Natasha riding inside him. Steve was wearing his signature shield over his left arm, while equipped with a Wakandan shield over his right arm. Waiting for them were Proxima, Obsidian and Gnaw. Obsidian also had a new mechanical arm to replace the one he lost. Proxima had a sword strapped to her back while running her spear across the dome, testing its strength. She stopped when she saw the group of four approaching.

Natasha noticed someone missing. "Where's your other friend?" She was referring to Corvus Glaive, who he and Proxima had attempted to take the Mind Stone from Vision, only to be intercepted by Steve, Sam, and Natasha, with Black Widow stabbing Corvus with his own weapon.

Proxima glared at Black Widow. "You will pay for his life with yours." She snarled.

Optimus Prime looked at Gnaw, the mech just a foot or two taller than him. "And what about your mistress? Where is Quintessa?" The Prime demanded. But Gnaw only growled in response, refusing to answer.

"Enough. Thanos will have that stone." Proxima declared.

Steve frowned. "That's not gonna happen." He replied defiantly

"You are in Wakanda now." T'Challa said. "Thanos will have nothing but dust and blood."

"We... have blood to spare." Was all Proxima said. She then raised her spear, a signal to begin. Back in woods behind her, the dropships began to open, unloading their 'cargo' consisting of thousands of Outriders, Chitauri, Tanks, Chariots, Chitauri Gorillas, and Leviathans. Gnaw let out a roar and the already impressive army was joined by Sharkticons, some of whom were in their alt modes of Cybertronian hovercrafts while others had transformed, revealing their sharp dentas and claws.

By then, Optimus had returned with the others to their own lines. Transforming, the Prime stood beside Megatron. "Shockwave has contacted me that they linked up with your team on the moon. They gave them your message and are now on their way towards Cybertron." The Decepticon leader said. Around them, the Wakandans were chanting "Yibambe!" all around them.

"Just make sure your forces abide by our agreement Megatron." Optimus whispered.

Megatron chuckled. "Mine? Yours tend to be overly dramatic most of the times."

Their conversation was cut off when the enemy finally appeared. Many of the defenders practically gawked at their large numbers. "What the hell?" Bucky muttered.

"Looks like we pissed them off." Natasha said. Beside her was Clint, who was wearing the new visors Wheeljack made for him. Linked to his quiver, the heads-up display on them allowed him to select which arrowhead to use.

The first ones to reach the dome were the Outriders, followed by the Sharkticons. The formers were simply clawing at the energy field, not caring how it burned their flesh along with the Chitauri Gorillas. The Sharkticons were merely firing their Maceration Laser Cannons, striking with their Cybertronian flails or claws. Those who were in their hovercraft modes fired their Proton Torpedoes at the dome. The Chitauri were attacking from range, shooting at the dome with their Energy Staves and Guns, or firing from their tanks and chariots. The two Black Order members and Gnaw stood where they were.

Okoye seemed shock when she noticed several of the Outriders lose their limbs, severed by their attempt to break through the dome. Some were even beheaded or cut at the waist. "They're killing themselves…" She murmured.

Unfortunately, a few of them managed to break through, followed by the Chitauri Gorillas and Sharkticons, the latter having melted and burnt metal on several parts of their bodies. The Border Tribesmen immediately activate their Vibranium capes, creating energy shields while the Royal Guards readied their sonic spears. At the same time, the Decepticons and Autobots, along with some of the Avengers, prepared their own firearms.

"Umlilo!" T'Challa ordered and the Royal Guards opened fire. Their combined firepower swiftly killed many of the attackers, though the Sharkticons were brought down mainly by the Cybertronian weaponry. A few transformed into their alt modes and tried to take to the air but were shot down by well placed shots from the NEST tanks.

Flying overhead were War Machine, Falcon, the Aerialbots and Wingblade. Falcon did a spin and fired the new feather flechettes installed by Wheeljack, which would grow back after a few seconds. The razor-sharp blade slashed through the Outriders and even took out a Sharkticon's optics as Falcon returned to firing his machine pistols. He let out a yelp when a few Sharkticons nearly snagged him, letting Sam get a close look of their dentas. "Did you see the teeth on those things?!" He yelled as he cut the head off a Chitauri Gorilla with his wing blades.

"Those teeth of theirs can bite through Cyber-Matter. An organic like you would be torn in seconds." Silverbolt said as he fired two proton missiles. The explosion killed five Sharkticons and destroy multiple Outriders. Breakaway and Air Raid followed his lead, killing more of the invaders. War Machine flew near the dome and dispersed numerous bombs, killing those who were directly below. Wingblade had let loose his duel Gatling Plasma Autocannons, tearing apart Outriders, Sharkticons, and Chitauri Gorillas with ease.

As Hound was firing his triple-barrel Neutron minigun beside him, Mirage's optics caught something. "Optimus, over there!" The assassin Autobot exclaimed, pointing. True enough, the enemy forces began circling the barrier. It was clear attempt to bypass them and flank the defenders, as well as reach Vision.

"Guys, if they get around us and through the dome, then there will be nothing between them and getting to Vision." Banner said.

"Then we better keep their attention on us." Steve added.

T'Challa nodded. "Shuri, on my signal open southwest section 19." He said through his communicator.

There was a pause on the other end. "Requesting confirmation my King. You want me to open the barrier?" Shuri asked, unsure.

"On my command." T'Challa said.

Hearing the Wakandan King's plan, Optimus looked at the others. "Autobots, we will charge first, weakening the enemy's forces so the humans can worry less about being slaughtered by the Sharkticons." Prime said.

"About time we got some real action." Ironhide grumbled as he fired another shot from his Neutron Shell Cannon. When the last Sharkticon fell T'Challa ordered the Border Tribe to deactivate their shields. Walking forward, T'Challa looked at the remaining hostile forces. Then, without hesitation he shouted, "Wakanda forever!" And materialized his helmet.

His soldiers all let loose their battle cry and followed their king as they rushed forward, the Avengers joining them. The Cybertronians also took off, easily outrunning the humans. The Dinobots transformed into their alt modes, with Swoop taking to the air and joining the other flyers. T'Challa then gave Shuri the command and a part of the dome opened. The Sharkticons, Outriders, Chitauri, Chitauri Gorillas all began pouring in. The opening was large enough for the Chitauri Chariots to fly in, as well as let three Chitauri Tanks and a Leviathan to enter at a time.

The Autobots and three Decepticons were the first to meet them. Chitauri and Outriders were crushed or smacked aside by the larger foes. Optimus Prime and Megatron were the first to strike, the former slicing a Sharkticon in half while the latter blew up a tank with his arm-mounted Fusion Cannon. The Dinobots had wrecked many of the invaders just by walking over them or biting them with their dentas. Grimlock went the extra mile by releasing his flame breath, roasting anyone unfortunate in its path. The flyers immediately engaged the invader flyers. The Chitauri Chariots were small and nimble, but not very effective against the Autobots who could transform between vehicle and robot mode.

By then the humans had mixed into the battle. The first were T'Challa and Steve Rogers, the latter throwing his round shield and knocking out two Chitauri while stabbing and Outrider with his smaller shield. T'Challa had managed to gather up enough kinetic energy and released it into a powerful blast that severely damage a Sharkticon. Soon the rest of the Wakandan and Avengers got into the battle. They would either fight the Chitauri and Outriders one on one, or gang up on a Sharkticon, attacking it until it went down. In the air, War Machine had landed on Stratosphere. The large Autobot was using his Stealth Force mode to fight against the Chitauri Chariots, Leviathans and Sharkticons. Several Chitauri had landed on the large Autobot's hull, intending to attack from within. Fortunately, War Machine saw this and began gunning them down with his machine guns, killing them before they tried anything. Warpath was tearing apart Chitauri Tanks with his heavy weapons alongside Ironhide who had brought out both Heavy Irons, shooting down flyers.

The Autobots and humans were working together to gang up on some of the invaders. Skids, Mudflap and several of the Jabari were attacking a tank, tearing it down and throwing the crew out for the humans to finish off. Banner fired the new shoulder-mounted rocket launchers and blew up two Chitauri Tanks. Black Widow was firing electrical bolts from her new and improved bites at several Outriders who were trying to climb onto Bumblebee's back. Steeljaw tackled a Chitauri Gorilla harassing several Dora Milaje members. Ant Man turned into a giant and punched a Leviathan in the face, sending it crashing on top of some tanks. Wasp was flying around him, shrinking and enlarging as she knocked away anyone that tried to shoot such a large target. Hawkeye fired three arrows into three separate Sharkticons' optics, exploding seconds later. Elita, Arcee and Chromia were racing through the battlefield, cutting, or shooting any enemy they saw. The Aerialbots and other Autobot flyers were attacking the enemy flyers so they would not harass the ground forces. Dropkick and Shatter also joined them, transforming, and shooting down several Sharkticons and Chitauri Chariots.

Unfortunately, several of them, including one Leviathan, made it pass the battlefield and were heading towards the city. Lennox spotted them immediately. "We got hostiles inbound! Light em up!" He yelled.

The M42 Dusters immediately opened fire, followed by the soldiers carrying the Stingers or the HMG. Several Sharkticons and Chariots were downed, while the tanks fired at a Leviathan. The beast roared in pain before firing the mounted energy cannons. "Incoming!" Santos cried as he and several other soldiers jumped out of the way of the projectiles. A few men were sent flying by the explosions. Five Chitauri also took this chance to attack, jumping off their chariots and attacked the NEST soldiers.

"Shit!" Lennox exclaimed as a Chitauri tackled him. He raised his assault rifle to stop the alien from impaling him with its energy staff. Acting quickly, the Colonel pulled out his sidearm and fired at the Chitauri's chest, causing the alien to back up as the bullets pierced. Lennox finished it off with his rifle. Epps and Graham tackled a second Chitauri and proceeded to stab it multiple times with their combat knives. Zack spotted a third taking out a grenade and immediately wacked it with the butt of his rifle. Knocking the Chitauri back, Zack took the grenade and threw it far from the others before gunning the dazed alien down just as the grenade exploded. The last two were gilled by the NEST soldiers led by Santos. Those who managed to breakthrough were brought down by the attack helicopters and Dragon Flyers, who were now joining the battle.

T'Challa cut down another Chitauri before calling his sister. "How much longer, Shuri?"

(Wakanda Medical Center)

"We've barely begun brother." She said.

Guarded by Wakandan Royal Guards, Scarlet Witch, and Ayo, Shuri was hard at work in removing the Mind Stone. Wheeljack was also present, or rather a holographic projection of him. The Autobot scientist/inventor was assisting Shuri with the progress. Even with his help, though, removing something as possible as the Mind Stone was no easy task. One wrong move could kill Vision or worse, set of a reaction that could possibly destroy the entire city.

(Back with the Battle)

"You might want to hurry it up!" T'Challa said, seconds later being sent flying back a Sharkticon's claw.

It had just been a few minutes, but slowly the defenders were being overwhelmed by the enemy numbers. By now the NEST forces had moved forward to assist, shooting at any hostile they could see while the tanks fired at large groups or large targets. But several tanks had already been destroyed. Already the Wakandans were suffering causalities of their own and losing a few flyers too. War Machine had been firing his machine guns and missiles before being knocked down by Obsidian as he, Midnight and Gnaw entered the battlefield. Raising his right arm, Gnaw brought out his forearm mounted laser cannon and proton torpedo launcher. Firing his torpedoes, he struck down Cliffjumper, who was sent crashing into Bumblebee, while the second torpedo knocked Warpath off his pedes.

Steve, Bucky and T'Challa were being mobbed by Outriders, desperately trying to shake them off. Brawn was shielding Okoye and several of the Dorai Milaje from laser fire coming from a Leviathan. Tomahawk had been shot down and was now firing his right forearm mounted Fusion Revolver Cannon, hacking at Sharkticon with his left forearm mounted Buzzsaw. Ant Man was forced to shrink back to normal size before he was killed by a barrage from Chitauri Chariots. Armorhide held one dead Sharkticon up, using it as a shield while firing his Plasma Sphere Shooter, while Wingblade was above him, hovering in the air while shooting his duel Plasma Rotary Cannons at the enemy flyers, trying to keep them off the ground forces. Prowl was using his energy riot shield to cover Black Widow and Hawkeye. Many of the defenders were forced to take cover from the Chitauri Tanks. Banner ripped a Sharkticon's head off before multiple Outriders pounced on him, knocking him into the ground.

"There's too many of them!" Screamed Bruce as the Outriders were clawing at the Hulkbuster armor.

Just when all hope seemed lost, a rainbow-colored beam shot down from the sky. When it hit the ground, several Outriders and Chitauri were killed. Seconds later an object came flying out, releasing electricity as it flew. Chitauri, Outriders, and Sharkticons that were in its path were badly electrocuted. Those that had pinned down the defenders were killed. When the pillar vanished it revealed Thor, Rocket, Groot, Evac, Sqweeks, Ramhorn and Cogman in his headmaster mode. Behind them was Omega Supreme. Thor raised his hand a grabbed Stormbreaker, a two-handed hammer and axe, forged from the repaired Forge and using wood from Groot as its handle.

All the combatants paused as they looked upon the new arrivals. Many of them were surprised and in awe at the giant Omega's presence, which overshadowed much of the battlefield. Banner retracted the Hulkbuster's helmet, laughing. "Hahaha! You guys are so screwed now!"

Omega raised his right arm, morphing it into his heavy laser cannon. Firing it, the beam incinerated dozens of charging Outriders, Chitauri, Chitauri Gorillas and Sharkticons. Walking calmly out of the smoke was Thor, the god glaring at the remaining enemies. "BRING ME THANOS!" He demanded before running, followed by the others. Taking to the sky, Thor pulsed with electricity as he gripped Stormbreaker with both hands. His eyes glow, Thor let out a roar as he landed in the middle of the army, slamming his weapon into the ground, and releasing a devastating shockwave.

And there you go, the opening of the battle. Hoped you all like that and be sure to leave a review.
