Chapter Twenty One
⚡️

EVEN WITH HIS NEW FOUND STRENGTH IN BEING WORTHY, CAPTAIN AMERICA WAS NO MATCH FOR THANOS ALONE. His shield was destroyed, practically snapped in half and his friends were left unconscious or dazed across the field. He struggled to his feet, huffing and grunting as his body protested against the movement.

              "In all my years of conquest—violence, slaughter—It was never personal," Thanos began, watching as Steve struggled to his feet. "But I'll tell you now, what I'm about to do to your stubborn, annoying little planet, I'm gonna enjoy it. Very, very much.

               As if on cue, Thanos' entire army was summoned to Earth, including the Black Order, Chitauri, Sakaarans and Outriders. With fierce determination, Steve refused to backdown, instead tightening the broken shield to his arm. He stood opposite the army alone but ready to fight till the bitter end.

Suddenly, a faint crackling appeared in his communicator. Steve paused shakily lifted his fingers to press against th earpiece.

"Hey, Cap, you read me?" Sam's voice appeared over the communicator. Steve thought he was hallucinating his friend's voice. "Cap, it's Sam. Can you hear me?"

Steve slowly turned as a orange hue engulfed the gloomy field. Sparks of magic lit up in the distance.

"On your left."

The portal slowly extended, opening up to give a bright view of Wakanda. Three silhouette stepped out of the portal, slowly marching forward into the light to reveal Okoye stood next to King T'Challa and Princess Shuri. Steve breathed out a sigh of relief as he made eye contact with T'Challa, the king offer a firm nod to his friend.

                Overhead, Sam flew out, circling through the sky as more portals opened up around the field, reaching to all ends of the world. And the galaxy.

                 A large one opened to reveal Titan, the Guardians of the Galaxy standing very much alive with Doctor Strange floating above them. As Drax unsheathed both swords and Stephen shielded himself, Star-Lord landed ahead, helmet snapping away as he looked cautiously around the earthly plain. Spider-Man soon landed in front of him, mask revealing a stunned but admirable look in his eye as he examined the golden glow of the portals.

                 "Yibambe!" The Wakandan chant echoed over field as the armies joined in, following the King into battle.

Melissa managed to pull herself to stand, watching as the Wakanda warriors joined the battle. Amongst them, Groot and Bucky stood very much alive, but she was more concerned above Reyna Daniels grinning with a assault rifle rested over her shoulders.

The Superhuman quickly hurried to embrace the woman, wrapping her into a bone crushing hug that took Reyna by surprise. "It worked..." Melissa whispered into Reyna's shoulder.

The brunette slowly lifted her arms to return the gesture. "I'm here, Mel," she assured.

The Asgardians soon joined, Valkyrie sat on top of a Pegasus with Wanda landing a few meters ahead. Smoothly, Jade landed between the two, her hand going to pat the Pegasus, surprised that it allowed her to. Beside the warriors of Asgard, sorcerers from Kamar-Taj and all across the globe armed themselves with their magic. They summoned protective shields, apart from Archer who swung a lasso around childishly. It whipped against the ground loudly, setting small pieces of dirty on fire from the heat radiating off the magic.
