Indigo tightened her grip on the knife in her hand, focusing on each stride forward, each swift movement as she darted past the towering Wakandan warriors. The air crackled with energy as gunfire erupted around them, the sharp staccato of bullets meeting alien flesh.
Bucky's rifle sang out beside her, each shot a precise strike that felled the monstrous creatures charging at them. She glanced at him briefly, catching the fierce determination etched into his features, the same determination mirrored in her own eyes.
They fought as a seamless unit, a dance of survival amid chaos. Bucky's protective instinct kicked in, pulling her behind him whenever the melee grew too close. His touch was a steady reassurance against the chaos unfolding around them.
A surge of adrenaline propelled her forward, her movements fluid and precise. Indigo slashed and parried, her focus sharpened by the urgency of the battle. The aliens were relentless, their numbers seemingly endless as they swarmed towards Vision's location.
"We have to keep them back!" Bucky shouted over the din of battle, his voice a clear command that cut through the chaos. Indigo nodded in agreement, her breath coming in quick bursts as she scanned the battlefield, searching for any weakness in the alien onslaught.
As they pushed forward, the ground shook with the force of explosions as Sam and Rhodey unleashed devastating barrages from above. The sky rumbled with the roar of jets and the crackle of energy weapons, adding to the cacophony of war.
She stole a glance at Bucky, their eyes meeting briefly in silent understanding. They had faced dangers before, but this battle felt different—more urgent, more desperate. Yet, with Bucky by her side, Indigo felt a surge of courage and determination, knowing they fought not just for ourselves, but for the future they hoped to build together.
The battle raged on, each passing moment a testament to their resolve. They held our ground, pushing back against the tide of enemies that threatened to overwhelm them. In the midst of chaos, amid the clash of steel and the roar of alien cries, Indigo held onto Bucky's presence like a lifeline.
She clenched the knife in her hand, feeling its weight and the familiar coolness of the metal against her palm. The first Outrider surged toward her, its grotesque form a nightmarish blend of sinew and razor-sharp claws. Its eyes glowed with feral hunger as it lunged, aiming to tear into her with lethal intent.
Instinct took over. She sidestepped its initial charge, the creature's claws slashing the air where she had stood moments before. With a swift movement, Indigo countered, driving the knife into its exposed flank. The alien emitted a guttural shriek, a mix of pain and fury, its dark blood staining the ground beneath them.
Bucky's rifle crackled beside her, his shots ringing out with lethal precision. His presence bolstered her resolve as she swiftly disengaged from the fallen creature, scanning the chaotic battlefield for the next threat.
