Chapter 21:
"Michael are you there? Michael do you copy me?"
The voice of Natasha came from Michael's radio.
Michael picked it up and responded, "Yes, I'm fine. I threw Banner from the Helcarrier. How's the situation on your side?"
"I got Clint." She responded.
"Good, I suggest you go help Fury, Loki has turned a lot of men into his loonies. One of them is probably freeing him right now."
"Roger that." Natasha left the channel.
Michael also proceeded to teleport at the tube location.
The moment he appeared he saw Thor running towards Loki, who just escaped.
Michael had his Dimensional Vision on, so he could tell that it wasn't him but just an illusion. No time was left to warn the idiot Thor, so he could only go for Loki.
With his vision, he could see him.
Michael sent a blast at invisible Loki.
Bam!
The energy blast seemed as if it hit the air and then the air cracked a wall.
On the wall, Loki appeared clenching his stomach.
Loki looked at Michael in anger as hr stood up, "It would have been great if you fell for it, just like my brother does all the time."
"Your hammer could destroy the tube as long as you hit it at the same place for long enough, I'll take care of Loki." Michael looked towards Thor and spoke.
"Take care of me? A puny magician of mortals? You make me laugh." Loki scoffed and then picked up the staff.
"You already got the staff?" Michael was slightly surprised.
"Die!" Loki sent a blast of blue energy at Michael, who also shot an energy blast.
The purple and blue streak met eachother in the middle and released shockwaves around.
Michael prepared to teleport in front of Loki, but a yellow energy appeared at the right corner of his eye, forwarding to Loki at extreme speed.
*Bzzzzz*
The streak of yellow charge hit loki in the chest, throwing him into a wall.
Michael already had a feeling of who was it, and turned his head to look behind.
Phil was standing there with a weapon in hand.
He gulped and said, "So that's what this does."
"You're spirit is unmatched Phil." Michael cheered with thumbs up.
"Thank you."
"Aghhh." Loki groaned and looked around in dizziness.
"It's time to give up." Michael neared towards a wounded Loki.
Loki laughed and then grinned, "Not if I opened the way!"
He swung the spear downwards and opened a hole in the ship, revealing the sky.
Michael had no time to teleport at him as Loki dived into it.
Michael could follow him, but he didn't think he could maintain his flight downwards for so long after the battle with Hulk.
*BaaaM!* Thor kept pounding the glass with his hammer, forming cracks.
"Wait wait wait! Don't destroy it. " Phil ran towards the control panel in panic.
Click!
The tube opened.
Thor got out of the tube and shouted angrily, "You let him get away!"
Michael looked at him, bored, "He escaped faster than I could catch him, there's a difference."
"All clear on control room, is it safe on your side?" Natasha's voice once again reached on the radio Michael had on his pocket.
"Loki managed to escape, heavily wounded though. I'll come there, are the engines okay?." Michael spoke back in the radio.
"Thanks to Stark and Captain they are. The ship is damaged but we can manage to stand in the air."
Thor, Phil and Michael made their way to control room, where everyone was except Banner.
Everyone had gray faces, disappointed.
"Well isn't this quite the surprise, not only did we lose Loki, Banner is gone." Tony snarked.
"He was going on a rampage, if it wasn't for Michael the whole ship would have fallen apart." Natasha with both hands on the table.
"What do we do now?" asked Steve.
Nick Fury took a step forward and looked at everyone in the room and spoke,"Whatever we do now, we need to be a team. The way we are now is a catastrophe, everyone crying about everything like children. Do you think being children will save the world from Loki? No it won't, you guys need to wake up and set your personal reasons aside, otherwise… the whole world will be doomed."
Tony and Captain sighed as they looked at eachother.
'Even though he couldn't use Phil's death as a motivation, he still managed to fix the situation. He is not the director of Shield for nothing' thought Michael inwardly.
"So how do we find Loki? He has everything he needs to open up a portal and let the Chitauri wreak havoc inside the world." Steve spoke, looking for an answer.
"Loki is a narcissistic man, he likes to show and boast. He probably wants a crowd to watch as he goes into the main show. Probably on top of something tall to look down on people—. Wait, don't tell me..?" Tony froze as he realized.
"It sounds like you to have same personality traits.." Phil said.
"Uh come on, I'm not a lunatic with a raging 'Glorious purpose' disorder." Tony smirked, satisfied with his comeback.
Next, they came up with a rough plan. The worst case scenario for them was the Chitauri being releasined in the wild and not finding a way to close the portal, as for the best case scenario it's if they stop the portal from opening in the first place.
"Okey then, suit up." Steve said and left the room, even though he was already 'suited up'
Other who still hadn't suit up also headed to their rooms.
Michael, Maria and Fury were left in the room.
"Oh by the way, I'll be collecting the weapons that are dropped of from the Chitauri for study, I'll leave some for you." Michael said.
Maria and Fury looked at him confused, "Aren't we supposed to stop the Chitauri from coming in the first place, why are we having a discussion of who will get their weapons??"
Michael chuckled, "The Tesseract has its own energy force field that none can penetrate, and we both know we can't stop it, since Loki is probably already on top of the stark tower."
Fury massaged his bald head and then looked at Michael and spoke, "You once said that this world has something that others outside will want. Is it the Tesseract that they want?"
Michael smiled at the quick witted one eyed man.
"It's what's inside the Tesseract they want."
"And what's that?" Fury asked.
Michael shrugged, "I have no idea."
Nick sighed.
…..
Blue energy swirled on the bright sky in the middle of New York City. The same blue energy opened a wide portal, allowing everyone in the city to see.
Heads started appearing out of it. Creatures unknown to mankind.
The Chitauri.
The monsters shrieked.
Down in a random street, a group of people were talking to eachother while glancing at the newcomers.
"So, Stark goes into the air. Thor stays close to the portal and does as much damage as he can before their army advances, Barton takes them from far away. Natasha and Me will fight in the ground. Hulk, Michael, go and smash."
Michael didn't take it personal that he was treated the same as the Hulk, since he and greeny were considered the main attackers of the team.
Hulk roared and pounded his chest like a gorilla before flying into the air and clang onto buildings , moving towards the chitauri.
"I'll handle the centipede chitauri, good luck with the others." Michael said and floated off the ground.
"What centipede?" Asked Stark.
Michael just pointed behind him, "That one."
"…."
"….."
Michael flew at the Chitauri with fast speed and covered his fist with energy.
Michael swung his fist right into the face of centipede chitauri, making it fly off meters away.
With another destructive energy blast, it died.
Michael next moved to kill the smaller one is flying motorcycles. Taking them one by one, teleporting around the battle field.
"Goddamn, he is ruthless." Iron man looked at Michael slaughtering the chitauri army.
Natasha looked from down and then mentioned to Captain, "I need to get up there."
Steve nodded and crouched with the shield infront of him. Natasha ran and jumped with the boost of the shield and clang onto a chitauri on a flying bike.
Michael looked at her, nearing him.
"We need to get to the Stark building and shut that thing off." Natasha yelled loud enough for Michael to hear.
"Come, I'll get you there." Michael offered a hand and Natasha took it.
With Natasha on his arm Michael flew directly towards the stark building.
Michael and Natasha floated right above the building, the Tesseract in front of them.
Natasha shot it with her gun. The force field around the Tesseract activated and shot the bullet right back at her.
Michael was already in front of her using his shift ability, sending the bullet to the O dimension.
"I take it this isn't a good sign…" Natasha arched her brow as she put her gun on her holster.
[A/N: never liked the Chitauri invasion, so I'm fast pacing it. Oh and btw I started an original book named 'Game of the Sorcerer' which the protagonist has similar powers to Michael. Check it out.]
