Goddess | Natasha Romanoff

Chapter 8: Dust and Blood

In Wakanda, their fields are about to become a battlefield. Their carriers hover over the ground with Wakandan soldier and Natasha, Steve and Bucky on board, and Bruce is in the Hulk buster

"How we looking, Bruce?" Nat asks

While running in the hulk buster Bruce says, "Yeah, I think I'm getting the hang of it. Wow! It's like being the Hulk without actually-" He stumbles on a rock, cracking to the floor, and a carrier goes by, from which Okoye gives him a dubious look. He stands "I'm okay. I'm okay"

"We got two heat signatures breaking through the tree line" Rhodey says, flying next to sam in his war machine suit.

M'Baku of the Jubari rallies his soldiers with a war cry. They all get into formation. M'Baku stops the war cry turning to T'Challa next to him and shaking his hand. "Thank you for standing with us" T'Challa says.

"Of course, brother" M'Baku replies in Xhosa. T'Challa, Steve, and Natasha walk to the edge of the barrier, where Proxima Midnight and Obsidian Cole stand. Proxima runs her blade across the barrier. It crackles with resistance.

"Where's your other friend?" Natasha asks.

"You will pay for his life with yours. Thanos will have that stone" Proxima threatens.

"That's not gonna happen" Steve says, equipped with two smaller shield blades strapped to each other his arms.

"You are in Wakanda now. Thanos will have nothing but dust and blood"

"We...Have blood to spare" She raises her right arm with a cry, and several large ships emerge from the forest behind her. They rumble and shake the ground as they move froward. The trio return back to where the army is stood.

"Did they surrender?" Bucky asks.

"Not exactly"

T'Challa leads the Wakandans in the war cry. As he shouts they all slam their weapons into the floor in unison.

Thanos' alien army run at the barrier, charging forward in the masses. "What the hell?" Bucky says, looking incredulously at the army as they swarm forward like rabid animals.

"Looks like we pissed her off" the army slams into the force field. They try and jump through, but they dome cuts them in half if they every make it past.

Okoye, Watching as the Outriders bombard the dome, dying when they fail to break through, "They're killing themselves"

Some of them make it through the barrier, growling and screeching on the floor. The Wakandan army engage their shields chanting in Xhosa and pointing their spears at them beginning to fire their weapons. Sam, Sending Redwings into the fight as he flies says "You seen the teeth on those things?"

"Alright, back up, Sam. You're gonna get your wings singed" He flies over a section that has been breached and drops a barrage of mines

"Cap, if these things circle the perimeter and get in behind us...There's nothing between them and Vision" sam says as he watches as the soldiers run round the side of the force field, mindlessly trying to find another entry point.

"Then we better keep 'em in front of us"

"How do we do that?" Okoye asks T'Challa.

"We open the barrier" T'Challa says, Putting his hand to his ear, "On my signal, open North-West Section Seventeen"

"Requesting confirmation, My King. You said open the barrier?" The dome control officer asks.

"On my signal"

M'Baku speaks to Okoye, "This will be the end of Wakanda"

"Then it will be the noblest ending in history" T'Challa chants and the army put down their technological shields to allow him to walk through.
