Battle in Manhattan

[ND7]

Gambit brushed himself off and fixed his coat as the plane crashed. Pulling out his staff, he headed towards the exit as well.

"Well, den we better find sum enemies, no? I gotta Admit it, it'll show dat we actu'ly might make a pretty good team...when we ain't tryin' down e'other's throats."

[kainboa]

Carlos stood up after the crash and simply started moving out of the wreckage, seemingly unaffected.

 

"Okay, my day just went from slightly annoying, to downright sh*tty, luckily there's a whole bunch of punching bags out there for me to vent on."

 

His voice strongly controlled, though hints of anger could be noticed as he spoke.

[Guest Jeremi]

"Until someone's survival instincts get the better of them." Spiral replied to Gambit while checking out the immediate area.

[xLEGACYx]

"That was fun!" Speaking to Wolverine, "Daddy! Can we get a ticket and ride it again."

 

Deadpool then left the back ramp and headed outside. A Chitauri approched to investigate and Wade threw a knife connecting with the creatures face. "I got one!" Pulling the blade from the creature he cleaned it and put it back in its holster. He then began to check and inspect the arsenal he had brought along with him. "Logan! I bet I can kill more than you!"

[G4hardcore]

Spider-Man walked out of the plane along with the others, arms outstretched as if yawning in boredom. He appeared without any injury on his person, costume as pristine as ever, and his expression would be impossible to discern through the Symbiote's flesh. "Some welcoming committee," he grumbled. Whilst in the ship, he'd covered himself in a cocoon of webbing thick enough to absorb the impact relatively unharmed, though he was no less annoyed for it. He'd seen the bodies of the pilots as well; he'd been the only one to check their vitals. In the cockpit, a pretty dent in the wall might be seen, the size of a spider's fist, near the bodies. Some might have seen it as a declaration of sorrow. Others, a sign of vengeance to come. To Parker, it was not so sentimental... He was exited, oddly so. "I hope they can bleed. I'm not in a punch-pulling mood this afternoon."

 

A tingle at the base of his skull would go off sporadically, signaling the ever present dangers that now surrounded them. A somewhat more powerful one had alerted him earlier to the Hunter's presence, but he knew the man would hold steady for the time being. Kraven was the least of his worries.

[C.T.]

Nova smirks at the relatively large number of relatively fine individuals. That was quite a crash.

 

He responds to each of them in turn as they exit the craft.

 

"Yeah, well get in line, Castle."

"He's a little out of your league Lester."

"Well, there's plenty of targets out here for ya, Spiral."

"Heh, too bad it only takes a bigger threat to unite us. Can't wait to see some of that ragin Cajun action at work though."

"You haven't seen anything yet, Carlos."

"How about a three way race Wade? Up for the big leagues?"

"Spidey! Yeah, glad to see someone familiar, beats studying shield personnel files to know your backup. And yeah, it's time to go berserker on these aliens. I pity the fool who messes with us!"

 

Nova looks back inside, taking in the whole sight, before resting his gaze on the dead shield pilots. "Damn." is all that came from his lips at that.

 

"Well, time to go to work guys. I know I'm supposed to be team lead and give you orders...but honestly I'm no Captain America. I leave it to you to decide who to hit and how to hit and where to hit. The bastards are everywhere. I only ask that you keep everyone updated on your actions through our earpieces." He said, his voice emanating not only from himself but also in every team member's respective earpiece.

 

He smirks once again before blasting off in pursuit of some Chitauri. "Playing hot pursuit with some of the bastards..." he states before blasting them down. Blam! "Another one bites the dust!" Blam! "And another one gone!" Blam! "And another one bites the dust!" Blam! "Bonus points! Yippee ki-yay mother*vulgarity*er!"

[Guest nrdman]

Android Coulson flies out behind Wonder Man.

 

"I'm almost surprised your brother isn't here, Simon," Coulson says, referring to the large amount of villains.

[Indolent]

Kraven, having 'escaped' the fate of the Quinjet that proceeded his departure, was on the prowl - he stalked from above, leaping across rooftops, moved around fire escapes, keeping out of the gaze of any mobile Chitauri as best as he could, eliminating a few in the process quite lethally... he was studying his prey first... and what he had noticed, aside from attacking the Heroes and, well, everything, the Chitauri were rounding up bystanders caught in the crossfire and herding them into buildings... Given he was to protect them, Kraven the Hunter could not resist the urge of utilizing this knowledge, of those weaker than him as prey to draw in his intended targets... Though he heard Nova's call, and with a slight scowl - "Kravinoff here - they herd the sheep into any remaining, standing buildings and pen them - do well to free them. I will do as a Hunter does. Kravinoff out.", he then gazed across the way as he further observed... and stalked off towards that particular building - that large number of civilians called for a quite a detachment to monitor them - and that meant the Hunter would come across a bountiful hunt momentarily...

[xLEGACYx]

"Taxi!" Wade raised his sword and teleported on to one of the small ships with 3 Chitauri on board. As he appeared he stabbed on in the back. The second turned and shot Wade in the chest. The surprise on the Chitauri's face could be seen when he saw that Wade stood there and laughed. "That tickled buddy! My turn." He sliced the one that shot him threw the neck and its head fell through the sky. Wade then somersaulted over the third that was driving. "Bye bye!" then shot him in the head as he fell to the ground.

 

As he neared the ground he pulled out his sword. Adjusting his angle his sword pierced two Chitauri standing back to back. "Logan! Hey Logan! Look, its shish cabobs!"

[C.T.]

"Herding the sheep eh? Well time to knock the shepards down a peg. I'm on it." Nova replies. Doesn't mean he can't do without assistance though, he thinks to himself. Hacking into the police frequency, he gives them the location of trapped civilians all around and for them to assist. He nods in satisfaction as they acknowledge while he flies straight into the building where a lot of bystanders are being held. Crashing through with ease, he skids to a halt, blasting one Chitauri right out the window, upper cutting another one through the roof, before kicking the last one to the ground. "Everyone, clear out!" he barks before turning his attention to the one Chitauri under his heel. From its hand an explosive rolls forward... "Oh shi--"

 

A blast consumes the area, smoke covering the blast zone, with no sign of the bucket head...until he flies out of the radius, a light chuckle at the weak attack. "Rider here, just saved a bunch of civilians." He glances to his side, seeing something he doesn't like. "Now I'm about to give one of their lizard ships a bad case of indigestion." He says, rocketing straight into its mouth before releasing a wave of pure energy, frying the bastard. Punching through once again, he rockets toward a nearby skyscraper, blasting the Chitauri off it before landing atop it to see where the most assistance was needed.

[Guest Jeremi]

"They aren't sheep, but humans like you...and possible mutants." Kraven would hear through his ear piece.

 

"I will check it out, anyone else is free to follow." She replied before heading out.

 

Running over the wreckage she'd be accosted by a couple of the Chitauri. Drawing her blades with her upper limbs she'd use her free limbs to throw a few shurikens at the aliens.

 

Minor nuisances if anything but it kept them occupied enough for Spiral the get up close to do some real damage. One of them fell quickly while the other managed to hit her by the butt of it's gun whipping her head back as it drew some blood.

 

She'd duck the second attack and jam one of her swords into the head of the alien. "Dammit..." Sprial cursed to herself. Picking up one of the aliens weapons she'd continue on towards the building trying her best to eliminate any enemies in her way when she saw Nova fly over head.

 

"Rocket man across the sky." She mused aloud as she leaped into the building clearing off any stragglers and checking up on the civilians. "Spiral here. Everyone seems to mostly unharmed." Spiral replied into the ear piece. She was relieved to find that her sister wasn't among them, maybe she had managed to get back to their building. Some murmurs among the crowd regarding 'muties' saving them, but she paid them no mind.

[Guest bigballerju]

Punisher had walked out the plane and only half paid attention to what the others were saying. Punisher pulled his SMG out and went into action as he ran for cover as the Chitauri were attacking from all sides. Punisher rolled on the ground and took cover behind a car as he fired shots off aimed toward the head of several Chitauri.

 

Bam! Bam! Bam!

 

Punisher was in his game mode as he blasted away at all Chitauri that dared to cross his path. Punisher took a grenade out as he tossed it at a group of 5-6 Chitauri running toward him...

 

Boom!

 

A huge explosion went off as the Chitauri exploded into pieces. Smoke and debris was left as Punisher grinned to himself at how much fun he was having. Punisher turned to the rest of his team as he saw some of them had yet to get into action.

 

" Are you girls waiting for a invitation?! Get your asses into the game here!"

 

Punisher went back into action as he blasted away at the aliens and kept moving to keep cover at the same time.

[ThePhenomenalOne]

Logan stayed ground level for now getting a couple of quick stealthy kills. After hearing Wilson's latest remark actually made him chuckle a little bit as he drove his right hand and claws through one of the alien's face. Enough of this, Wilson wants a contest? Let's do a contest.

 

"Hey Wilson, I'm at 9. Where you at?" Logan says to him as he comes out to the street where about 30 Chitauri are now coming for him. He extended his claws and screamed as he ran towards them. He lept on the hood of a damaged car and propelled himself towards the oncoming scum. He took3 out in the jump and then went mad as he just started to swipe in all directions. After taking 9 more down, he gets launched back after getting shot with one of their rifles. 2 of them try to jump on him like a wounded animal but find out the hard way he's not that hurt. He takes them out and runs behind a flipped over truck to call Wilson.

 

"25 Wilson! Get that loud mouth of yours down here and let's see what ya got!" Logan says

[C.T.]

From his vantage point, Nova could see that a few members of his team were about to get swarmed by a significant amount of Chitauri. Speeding off in that direction, he lands and skids to a halt in front of the Chitauri, sending a large blast that smacks quite a few of them away. Turning his attention to the one hiding behind the truck, he lightly smirks. "42. Try and keep up." He snickers before something...no someone makes his entrance and kills the laughing mood. A blast of blue energy from his spear sends Nova flying into the truck. A bemused expression on his face, the god turns to the others, laughing. "Is this the best SHIELD has to offer?" He asks before firing again.

[AVP vs The Terminator]

Moon Knight would have leapt from the aircraft moments before it met its fate, plummeting in freefall for a few seconds before spreading his cape, catching the wind and gliding to a nearby rooftop, using his momentum to swiftly dispatch a Chitauri ground troop with a powerful kick to the face. The unfortunate Chitauri's head twisted almost 360 degrees, and it slumped to the ground, dead. He then proceeded to convert his truncheon into its bo staff form and go to work on the Chitauri's squadmates, quickly taking them out. When he was finished, all of the Chitauri lay around him, most unconscious, some dead.

 

He moved to the edge of the rooftop and surveyed the battleground. He spotted the crashed plane, as well as several of his teammates; Castle, slaughtering masses of the Chitauri with guns and explosives. Logan, cutting a bloody path through the Chitauri at ground level. Wilson, screwing around with his opponents. And Kraven, stalking his prey from the rooftops.

 

Receiving the locations of civilians in need of rescue through his mask's communications system, he quickly headed to the nearest location, entering the building and clearing out the Chitauri inside with a combination of stealth and explosive crescent darts. He then escorted the civilians to the closest SHIELD evac point, dealing with any Chitauri in their path.

 

"Maybe you two should focus on rescuing civilians instead of butchering as many Chitauri as you can." Moon Knight spoke into his comm system, directed at Wolverine and Deadpool. "Remember, our primary goal is helping those in need of help."

 

He paused a moment before adding, "46."

[Guest KevinDWolf93]

Bullseye or "lester" as everyone enjoyed calling him dusted himself off after Nova's snark. He just shrugged in response, maybe he was right. Bullseye walks to the hole the ship had made in the tower. he considered jumping down and joining the rest on ground floor. As he tried to calculate the landing on the low area he saw a Chituari skiff zoom past.

 

"Well well, that's our culprit." he says, realizing they got taken down by another airborne...whatever it was. Taking note of some of the flight patterns, he unslings the .338 lapua rifle befor elooking through the scope. Normally he wouldn'tve even bothered bringing it, makes things too easy, but this was the middle of a war zone and he could be flexible. Anyone still on the floor that the ship crashed on would see him looking through the rifle's scope intently. A lesser individual would be attempting to line up a shot on these moving buggers, though Bullseye was just further studying his soon-to-be prey. After awhile he lowers his eye, not having shot yet before ging over his comm.

 

Hey, to anyone who wants to focus on the air support of comfort, these ships can't bank worth a damn and the driver's up front and center.

Would be heard over comm chatter right before the loud report of the bolt action rifle. He had quick scoped as one was turning in front of the hole. By his calculations the round smacked the driver right where it's throat should be. In a flash, he chambered a second round before deciding to show off and firing another shot at a different skiff's driving controls rather than the driver. Watching his work he smirks and without missing a beat repeats to himself.

 

"...one last thing, they crash spectacularly." Bullseye says, before taking sniper training 101 and making his sight scarce before seeing what other flys he could swat out of the air through a nearby window.

[kainboa]

At hearing the words of Bullseye, Carlos looked up for a moment, then jumped. Once he was at the apex of his jump, he slammed his arm into the building next to him halting his decent. After doing this a few times he was at the top of the building, surveying the battlefield. A nearby skiff caught his eye, and after a quick jump the unfortunate chitauri personnel on it continued their flight, unassisted by the skiff. Once the personnel was taken care of, Carlos took control over it.

 

"On board one of the skiffs, controls are a bit odd but easily understood with a bit of experimentation, do not open fire on the skiff with the single person on it, I've already crashed once today, and I do not particularly want to repeat the experience."

[xLEGACYx]

"Awe come on guys, some of you are using big flashy explosions to wipe out these things. How do me and Logan keep up with that? Oh I know."

 

With that Wade somehow pulls a rocket launcher out of his satchel. Teleporting into the air he saw a group of about 20 in the surronding areas. He unloaded with a barage of rocket fire and decimated the street below, wiping out the Chitauri in the immediate area. As he once again landed on the ground he said, "Well, I guess that puts me back in the lead!" He tosses the rocket launcher to the side and raises his mask a bit and sticks his tongue out.

 

A civilian goes running out of a building. "Ma'am! Hey Ma'am! Wait! I'm one of the good guys! Stop running! Hey come back! Dammit hold still woman! I'm going to rescue you!"

 

Wade teleports infront of her and throws her over his shoulder. He takes off running and flipping over cars as he carries the woman. Sitting here down with a SHIELD agent she hurls! "Your welcome miss for your heroic save of the day!"

[Guest KevinDWolf93]

Bullseye was still playing spotter when he saw Tarantula jump off. He raised his scope to watch the man's progress as he scaled the building.

 

Son of a gun, the guy can move, Bullseye mutters to himself as he sees him jack a skiff. Impressed, he continued ot watch as a spectator, seeing that he was doing just fine. It's around that time that he hear's Tarantula over the comm, explaining what he saw. Bullseye barely let him finish before replying.

 

"Yeah, i saw that ya showoff. Just don't act like a target and you'll probably be ok. I'm moving up the building, let me know if something's on your tail...I'll see if I can fit being a team player into my schedule." Bullseye before he lets the comm go dead as he heads the the elevator and heads for the middle of the building.

[Guest Jeremi]

Spiral had left the civilians as a rescue them had headed towards their direction. "Perhaps we should instead focus on saving this city rather then seeing who murders the most aliens?" She replied while taking aim with the gun she confiscated from one of the Chitauri and fired taking down a nearby skiff before paying attention to the ground group again.

 

"No casualties on our side yet though. So I guess we're doing something right." She spoke over the com-link.

[Guest bigballerju]

A 10 year old girl was hiding in the backseat of a Honda as her mother who was not too far away screamed in horror and tried to reach her daughter as Chitauri ran toward her. Punisher heard the scream as he turned toward the daughter and saw the threat.

 

" Shit these things ain't got a care in the world about innocent civilians."

 

Punisher ran up behind the alien as he pulled his grabbed his hunting knife with a upgraded metal by Shield and grabbed the alien from behind by the neck. Punished stabbed the alien in the neck multiple times as he a weird liquid came out as the alien struggled as it's body shook before finally going limp as it died. Punisher threw the alien to the ground as he motioned for the mother to come get the daughter letting her know it was safe. The mother ran and grabbed the daughter as they hugged.

 

Mother: Thank you so much.

 

Punisher: Just doing my job. Get on to safety now.

 

The pair ran off as Punisher heard another cry for help. Near a corner store Punisher moved slowly on guard as he saw a member of the Latin Kings gang on the floor bleeding from a medium sized burning wound in his chest. The gang member saw Punisher and instantly grew happy.

 

Latin Kings member: Oh man I never been happier then today to see you. I mean any other day you would have killed me. But today you gotta save me right?

 

Punisher smirked as he looked in digust at the gang member.

 

Punisher: Is that right?

 

Punisher raised his gun...

 

Latin King member: No wait you gotta be kidding me...

 

Bam!

 

Punisher shot him in the head as the member slumped on the floor dead.

 

Punisher: I still don't save pieces of shit no matter what the situation. See you in hell.

 

Punisher ran off as he pulled out his two handguns and started blasted away at Chitauri as he made his way back to his team. Punisher saw Deadpool getting all trigger happy with a rocket launcher blasted away and then looked to see other members like Kraven on top of buildings doing some serious damage.

 

" Nice group of fellas here Fury. Nice group indeed."

 

Punisher pressed on his ear piece.

 

" Punisher has saved some civilians and is kicking some alien ass. Anyone want to tell me if we got anything else to do here? This is almost too easy."

 

Punisher went back into action as he headed toward where Wolverine was and started killing Chitauri again.

[C.T.]

Loki stands and watches as one of the SHIELD lackeys dare commandeers one of his allies' skiffs. He aims his spear at the offending craft, about to wipe it out with a single well placed bolt of energy...when he gets tackled by an unknown assailant moving at super speed...the pair crash into an abandoned eighteen-wheeler nearby. Loki unleashes his unused blast and pushes the assailant back a bit. He focuses his vision on him.

 

"Ah, the space cop. Kneel before me, your true and future ruler." Loki demands.

 

"Not to men like you." Nova replies.

 

"There are no men like me." Loki retorts.

 

"There are always men like you." Nova remarks.

 

"Very well. You shall serve as an example." Loki says, brandishing his spear.

 

Nova speeds forward, punching Loki in the jaw, sending him back. "Not today." Nova states.

 

Nova aims a roundhouse kick to Loki's midsection. Loki simply catches the leg, drops the spear and punches Nova in the head. Kicking him down to the ground and holding him there with his heel on Nova's throat, the god picks up his spear and holds it at Nova's neck...before traveling down a bit, level with his chest. A light tap from the spear...

 

Loki watches as the changes arrive, first the eyes as black as midnight...then a bright shining blue.

 

Loki smirks. "In the end, you will always kneel. Now...finish them."

 

Nova nods, before blasting off in a flash, firing a blast at Punisher, uppercutting Spiral, blowing up the level of Stark tower Bullseye is on, before turning and giving chase to the hijacked skiff.

[xLEGACYx]

"Oh great. Now not only is bucket head not on the team but he is against us." Raising his hand. "Anyone else think this is unfair? Anyone?" A Chitauri comes running and gunning at Deadpool. The blasts slam into Deadpool's back. "Awe come on! How am I suppose to keep up with fashion when you all keep putting holes and burn marks on my apparel?"

 

He flicks his wrist and a sai flies through the air Striking the Chitauri in the chest. As he falls his rifle goes off several times. The blast strikes a passing by skiff. "Will you look at that. That was luck but I'm gonna claim it was skill. Any objections to that?" Deadpool then does a fist pump in the air.

 

"I guess its time to do this video game style and start climbing the tower stage by stage. I love video games."

[Guest Jeremi]

"Ugh!" The blow sent Spiral crashing into the ground with a loud thud.

 

"Seems to me like we have a problem." She replied standing back up on shaky feet.

 

Spitting some blood on the ground she's draw her swords as she noticed a group of chitauri swarming in on her location. "We need to get that human rocket out from the sky." She'd start firing her weapon at the chitauri before continuing with her swords when she got close enough. "Anyone have a good shot one him? None lethal, because I don't think he's right in the head." She spoke into her ear piece between grunts.

[AVP vs The Terminator]

Moon Knight had been patrolling the immediate area in search of civilians, saving those he found and keeping his teammates updated through the comm link. Grappling to a nearby rooftop from another building, he took a quick glance down at the streets, only to see Punisher's execution of the gang member. He pressed an a finger to his ear and spoke briefly into his communications device: "I saw what you just did, Castle. When this is finished, you and me are gonna have words." After transmitting this brief message, he simply continued onward, teeth clenched, until he came upon Nova assaulting his teammates. He spoke into the mic once again:

 

"Fury, Nova has turned hostile and is currently in pursuit of our hijacked aircraft. I've got tranquilizers, I'll see if they have any effect." With that, he'd take off in pursuit of Nova, grappling from building to building with surprising speed. If he got within range, he'd fire a small dart at Nova from his gauntlet, tipped with enough tranquilizer to knock out a bull elephant.
