𖡡 From Dimension 3025 to Dimension 3000
𖡡 Midgard
It was the day that the Avengers were going to travel back to dimension 3000. Nova had gone to Asgard to meet Frigga for the last time. Frigga was ruling Asgard and Nova was sure that in just a short time Frigga would turn there into a paradise.
It was sad for her to lose her mother again after reuniting with her after years. However, despite Loki's long protests and lectures, Nova had stubbornly made her mind. She was going to come with them, leave the place that left permanent scars on her.
So, that was where they were, the whole team travelling to dimension 3000 with a spacecraft. The travel was short though all of the Avengers were expecting something bad to happen again that at some point a sound that was suspiciously like someone praying and crying was heard.
When The Avengers arrive back to New York, they realised that this wasn't the same city they know. Red sky, darkening to purplish-black with swirling aliveness. The buildings are blackened, windows broken out with dark slits looking almost like leeches pushing through—toxic vapors seeping up into the streets from fissures in a noxious-looking shadow-black mist. The sheer weight of it breathless, a tangible anticipation.
Captain America steps up with his shield ready. "What in God's name..."
Evil laughter bugs the air, giving chilled spine to heroes. Mephisto steps out of the darkness his skin ashen, with eyes that burned an unnatural red. He had a grin across his devilish face and holding in one hand the flickering sword which is burning flame like shadow smoke dipped upon it.
"Oh, I see our little mortals' friends finally graced us with their presence. The mighty heroes of Midgard." Mephisto mocked taking a look at Sam, Dc.Strange, Captain Marvel and Pepper who were tied with some chains that were bright red with the power of demons. "How nice of you to finally attend my little party. You are too late — the mortals of this city didn't put up much of a fight." Mephisto continued.
Iron Man raises clenched fists, his repulsors humming into action. "Then I guess we are going to have to make up for lost time. Care to dance?"
"Get ready to be ruined." Mephisto said.
With that the battle started. And as the battle escalated, more and more Avengers begin to engage Mephisto and his demons with their signature abilities. The sky was chaotic.
"So... does anyone have a plan, or are we winging it in hell?" Natasha asked through earpiece.
"We've faced tougher... I think. Right?" Steve said.
"Well, I actually think that if Loki being bored cause that much of a problem, a thing that looks suspiciously a lot like a demon trying to take over Midgard is...a bit too much." Nova said.
"Very motivational, thank you." Pietro said.
"Somebody needs to save those guys from chains!" Thor said through earpiece while fighting with several creatures.
Tony and Hulk flew and shot consistent repulsor beams on the twisted demons coming towards him. Then Rhodes rushed forward as well, with his bullets and missiles from the War Machine armor cutting through the horde like hot knife to textured butter.
"I had never seen a red, strange chain before, so excuse me!" Rhodes replied.
Wanda was a few feet off the ground and her eyes turned scarlet as she channeled chaos magic. With the swiveling of her hands, a gigantic energy field erupted, smashing dozens of Mephisto's minions backward, and her gaze burning them away with her magic in the process.
"You know, sis, these demons are almost cute. In an 'I'm gonna kill you' kind of way." Pietro said to Wanda after helping her take out a demon getting an eye roll from her.
For added offense, Captain America powered up and disappeared into the fog of war, crashing through Mephisto's demon lords warlock's fire catastrophically.
Natasha & Clint were back-to-back, he swung a fearsome endless barrage of arrows while Nat spun and flip around him taking out anything approaching too close with her Widow's Bite.
Scott shrunk down, becoming a blur and launched forward with another punch expanding to full size as his fist sails into the demon closest by, smacking him broadside through more rubble of one neighboring building. Hope joined him as well in the air, phasing in and out of visibility to wreak havoc with her Wasp suit.
"Look, babe, it's just like date night but with a little more fire and brimstone!" Scott said after he and Hope knock down some demons.
Peter swung above, spraying webs as he catches up demon bantlings pulling them to the walls or yanking down on another before launching back towards targets. His one-liners ting echoing though he moves out of the way fireballs and slashing clawed hands.
"Hey, does anyone else think this is the shittiest Halloween parade ever?" Peter said.
At the same time, Mephisto sneered and his hands lifted—conjuring a icy cascade of new hellfire that pools over the battlefield. The former slinging protective shield onto the blast in time to save Pietro from getting blown away as he races by impossibly fast; explosions trailing his blur, sending demon flesh flying into disorientation so they stand opened up for attacks now.
Loki remains a little behind, focusing on using his powers of illusion to disorient and intimidate all of Mephisto's troops, while Nova lets out quick bursts of energy, sweeping away all of the smaller recurring scum in her path. And, thus, they are constructing how it is to get to Mephisto.
"Whoever cursed me saying 'go to hell', must have a brilliant heart. A dream come true really" Loki said sarcastically.
"Which means half-oh, excuse me for the mistake,-all of the universe." Natasha said.
"Loki, can you try to solve that chain problem?" Hulk said.
"Might try." Loki said trying to move towards hostages with Nova's help.
Loki and Nova conjured an illusion to distract Mephisto, Loki slipped past his defenses to teleport Strange out of the chains.
"Maybe I should take my revenge, Sorcerer." With a smirk, Loki quipped which earned a glare from Dc.Strange.
Captain Marvel and Vision move back down, both of them focusing on using their energy beams to attack Mephisto's sword, and thus, hopefully, attempting to disarm him. The demon lord however strikes his weapon, the sound which pushes all of them back as he walks forward.
On the other hand Pepper using her Rescue armor is aim is save any trapped people on the crossfire as she zigzags through the rubble to pull people above the cross-fire.
Finally, Sam flies in, wings cutting through the smoke and hurls his shield with the same motion, reflecting off several demons and coming back to him. Bucky climbs on top of him, and uses his vibranium arm to beat on the demons that are assaulting them.
Once they are all free and together, they get close to Mephisto, their combined powers illuminating the darkened streets....
