The Iron Mandalorian and the Siege Of Earth - Chapter 1

Authors Note: Hello once more. I've just managed to get to a point with life and uni work where I can concentrate on my fanfictions once more. Having seen Avengers: Endgame, I wanted a different ending and so I've decided to publish this.

Thank you to the very encouraging guest reviewer who was so kind and encouraged me to continue with the Iron Mandalorian hopefully you can find this one.

Most of it is completed in 1st draft form but I am looking for a Beta to help proof read it and spot any big mistakes. Any reviews with ideas will be considered and if possible will be incorporated so please don't stop sending them. Don't worry if no one wants the job I'll still submit chapters they'll just be less thoroughly spellchecked.

Three Years after The Iron Mandalorian

Appearing in orbit above the blue and green planet the guardians of the galaxy came to a stop drifting in space. The small escape pod drifted without energy its engines smoking as the inhabitants shuffled to the small viewport.

"What the hell Quill you said Earth was a backwater planet with no technology," complained Rocket as he took in the planet wide shield and large spire shaped space station floating before them in geosynchronous orbit above the planet.

"It was..."

"Does that look like no technology to you," shouted the Racoon pointing to the glowing blue shield covering the whole planet.

"Hey I..."

"... there's no point fighting," interrupted Gamora, "once we've spoken to them, you're welcome to argue about who's the most advanced." Gamora reached between the pair and thumbed the intercom, "this is the Milano 2 looking for asylum."

_LINEBREAK_

On the planet below Abigail Brand Director of SWORD (Sentient World Observation and Response Division) commanded the room as she received information about this new potential threat.

"Size?"

"Approximately ten metres, wingspan."

"Armaments?"

"None visible."

"Lifeforms?"

"There are four reading as humanoid, one small mammal and an anomaly."

"Anomaly?" Questioned Brand, their equipment was top of the line.

"It's reading as a plant but it's form is humanoid."

"Ok I'll need a botanist on the line as soon as we get them contained, Clan Stark too."

"Ma'am, they're hailing us," spoke Ensign Jones.

"Open the channel and forward to the council."

"Unidentified ship you are trespassing in Earth's orbit power down, state your cargo and prepare to be boarded. If you do not comply you will be treated as hostile and will be fired upon."

"We seek sanctuary, somewhere to escape the destruction of our home, we have no weapons."

"Follow the buoy to earth and you'll be met by a representative, deviate and you will be fired upon," the communicator cut out.

"Nice people," growled Rocket.

"They were not nice, she was very rude," interrupted Drax.

The remaining guardians ignored him choosing instead to follow the small ship which guided them through a small window in the shield.

_LINEBREAK_

Surrounded by six aliens Tony Stark crouched slightly falling into a fighting stance, he was dressed in his armour and gauntlets without his jetpack. With an unintelligent yell the one immediately behind him launched itself at him fists flailing, with a quick spin Tony let the charging creature pass him by, with a shove and a stuck out foot the alien fell to the floor where Tony launched a repulsor beam into its back. The remaining aliens approached slower, fists raised before flickering and vanishing.

"Boss, Director Brand called, they've made contact with an unknown ship seeking asylum, she's called Clan Stark together."

"Call the team then and send them transports," said Tony grimly calling his jetpack to him and activating his helmet which enveloped his head and began ringing.

"Hello, Headmaster Riley Midtown School of Science and Technology," droned the voice on the other end.

"It's Tony Stark, I'm afraid I'm going to have to borrow Peter Parker for the rest of the week."

"Erm of course I'll need confirmation from a parent or guardian."

"Ok his aunt will be there for him in ten minutes," Tony disconnected the call and rang Jess.

_LINEBREAK_

The ramp lowered and the Guardians of The Galaxy took their first steps onto earth, well Peter was returning but the point still mostly counted. The technology while only as advanced as the surrounding worlds was so much more than the perception of earth held by the rest of the galaxy. Much to Peter's annoyance earth was known as a backwater planet which hadn't managed to make it past its own moon, they'd not even discovered repulsorlifts. That was apparently very wrong, surrounding the grassy patch they'd landed on was a sea of flying vehicles of varying sizes up to what looked like a battleship high above a tower emblazoned with a holographic A.

Having finished looking to the sky the Guardians eyes returned to the ground where a woman with shocking green hair strode towards them flanked by two men brandishing blasters.

"Milano crew please surrender your weapons and go with these men for questioning."

"Hahaha yeah cause that's gonna happen," sniggered Rocket.

THUNK, "it had better happen rodent else we're going to have some serious issues." Growled the gold and scarlet figure which appeared between the Guardians and Brand. The THUNK was joined by two others as the Guardians were surrounded by more armoured figures. Taking in the newcomer's armour, Gamora gasped as she recognised the style.

"Su cuy'gar verd," (greetings warrior) bowed Gamora her hand never leaving her sword.

"You speak Mando'a?" Questioned the armoured figure.

"Some, I was only aware of your people in legends."

"We've kept ourselves to ourselves, Earth is home to the only known Mandalorians in the unknown regions."

"Wait Mando-who?" Interrupted Peter.

"The Mandalorians were noble fighters who fought for honour and glory," said Drax a hint of awe in his otherwise monotone voice.

"Yeah but what..."

"There'll be time for that later, right now if you want to stay you need to be processed," argued the gold and scarlet Mandalorian. The guardian's hands returned to their weapons nervously.

"Don't," said the lead Mandalorian raising a hand, "we don't want to use force, but we will."

The guardians took in their surroundings to see both mandalorians on their flanks had assumed fighting stances, the guards and Director Brand had also drawn their weapons.

"Ok we'll come with you as long as you heed our warning," placated Gamora, raising her hands off her sword.

_LINEBREAK_

Some two hours later and more than one truth machine, scanner and DNA test the Guardians were released from quarantine. They left the final room to be met by the three Mandalorians from earlier, behind them was another Mandalorian in a gunmetal grey suit and a large railgun attached to his shoulder.

"Welcome to earth," said the central Mandalorian, as his helmet collapsing into his jetpack the guardians took in his face. The man was in his forties with dark brown hair carefully styled to look windswept, his chin shared the same colour hair styled into a goatee. "Tony Stark, leader of Clan Stark," he motioned to the first two mandalorians who lowered their helmets too, "these are Jess and Peter, Protectors of Clan Stark, also known as the Spiders. There's Colonel Rhodes, our heavy hitter," the coloured man in the grey suit dipped his head in acknowledgment. "And last but not least we have Hope or Wasp envoy of the recently formed Clan Pym," all nodded their greetings, Peter added a small wave which was returned by Mantis.

"So, what is it some sort of insect thing," grunted Rocket.

Ignoring him Gamora asked, "did you say Stark?"

"Yeah?"

"Pilot of the Iron Man armour?" Tony nodded, "I have a warning for you then," said Gamora grimly, "Thanos is coming."

Hope you enjoyed.
