[Back in Wakanda, Shuri is working steadily to complete the Mind Stone's removal; Wanda stands by tensely]

[The Kingsguard, Borderers, and Jabari have little success going against Cull Obsidian's chained hammer - he either sends them flying or punches them into the ground. The Black Panther gets free of his other sorties, leaps, and uses all his collected kinetic energy behind a punch that lays Obsidian flat.]

Rocket: [having found a clear spot] Come and get some, space dogs! [Another wave of Outriders heads right for the raccoon. Bucky, having come up behind Rocket, grabs him with his mechanical arm, holds him at arm's length, and spins 540 degrees, firing his M249 at the same time] Come on, get some, get some! Come on, get some! [Bucky drops Rocket, who looks at him with an impressed gleam] How much for the gun?

Bucky gives Rocket a look that he ignores.

Bucky: [snaps off another burst] Not for sale.

Rocket: Okay, how much for the arm? [Bucky just gives him a look and moves off] Oh, I'll get that arm. [Gabrielle appears and shoots the Outriders around herself and Rocket.] Ooo, how much for your gun?

Bucky attempts to hide his arm behind him, but Rocket just smirks at him.

Gabrielle: Not for sale.

Rocket: And the arm? [She scowls at the raccoon before running off and grabbing a spear from a fallen Dora.] I'll get those arms.

"You can have this one," Gabrielle points to the HYDRA arm that she still has, "But not that one." She then points to the vibranium arm shown on screen.

"Yes!" Rocket exclaims.

[The tides of battle cause Thor, using Stormbreaker to great effect, and Captain America together. They take a breather]

Steve: [panting] New haircut?

Thor: [grinning] Notive you've copied my beard.

[Cap nods, wearily gesturing at his face with a shield-covered hand. Groot skewers three Outriders with his right arm]

Thor: By the way, this is a friend of mine. Tree. [gestures towards Groot with Stormbreaker]

Groot: [in full battle snarl] I am GROOT!!!

Steve: [formally, but bemused] I... I am Steve Rogers.

Bucky snickers at Steve, but he just shakes his head.

[In Shuri's lab, a deep rumbling can be heard even at their height. Wanda looks down on the battlefield and sees movement through the blazing forest between the troopships and the dome. When the disturbance reaches the edge of the trees, it turns into vast moving mounds of earth that easily bypass the force field and emerge — Threshers, sets of massive, motorized spiked wheels, intended for nothing more than shredding everything in their paths.]

"They passed the border?" Shuris asks quietly in shock.

T'Challa: Fall back! Fall back now!

[Wanda watches as at least one set of Threshers separates into individual wheels and starts veering all over the battlefield, and then looks anxiously back at Vision.]

Rhodes: Focus that fire on the left flank, Sam.

Sam: I'm doing it. [the two fliers use their firepower to crack a Thresher but cannot find a weak spot.]
