Percy took a closer look at the remaining Avengers...and he whined like a child, "Awwwwww! The only good ones are the Hulks. The rest are just stupid~."

"Hey! I'm not stupid!" Spider-Man yelled. Then he was leaping in the air just before the loud crack of a sniper tore through the air, the bullet passing just under his foot.

Piper tsk'd. "Damn. Missed."

Than was the galvanizing event behind the next bout of combat. Clair, finding the remaining humans to not be worth her time, calmly retreated from the battle...and instead opted to carve up the scores of S.H.I.E.L.D. personnel that were present, along with the public service personnel.

Zach cackled excitedly, yellow lightning dancing wildly around him, before disappearing in a bolt of power. Zero smirked, before he faded away like a mirage. Chicago, the wind-elemental and green-themed personality, smiled calmly, his green eyes alight with a free spirit. There was no malice, just a peace one would find in the eyes of a man standing upon a grassy hill in a paradise.

Giant Man assumed his humongous form and went after Piper along with Spider-Man and Hawkeye, while Black Panther, Mockingbird, and She-Hulk decided to take on Percy. A distant roar grew louder, and the Hulk came thundering back into the fray, choosing to fight Zach alongside Captain America and Black Widow.

Piper snorted when arrows began to fly towards her. In a movement too fast to be properly seen by anyone, she put her sniper back into her backpack, reached in, and pulled out a pair of pistols that were legendary in the gaming community. The guns that Piper now wielded were a pair of heavily modified m1911's, one black, the other silver.

These were the guns of Dante Sparda, Ebony and Ivory.

Unleashing a hail of bullets, Piper destroyed each of the arrows with expert precision, and forced Hawkeye to make a beeline for the nearest cover. Webbing came in from off to the side, sticking to Piper's guns. The demigoddess just snorted, highly unamused by Parker's attempt at disarming her. With a grunt, she slung the web-slinger around, hurling him into a nearby skyscraper.

BAM BAM BAM

Piper smirked as Giant Man got his ass in gear, and finally was within reach. The daughter of Musumi vanished in a burst of speed, and reappeared on Pym's shoulder. She put a hail of lead into the man's earhole. Not enough to kill due to Pym's monstrous size, but more than enough to permanently deafen in that ear. Giant Man screamed in absolute pain, slapped fruitlessly at his shoulder, and went tumbling to the ground.

Piper appeared behind a shell-shocked Hawkeye. In a swift movement, she put the barrel of Ebony to the back of Barton's head, and pulled the trigger. There wasn't much left of the archer's head after that. There also weren't any monologues or gloating about being superior, how he was weak, or how his ideals were retarded. Just a quick shot to the head. Didn't need any more than that.

Crashing glass was heard, and Piper could've just gunned Spider-Man out of the air without preamble, but she wanted to have just a bit of fun with the wall-crawler. Spider-Man landed on top of a streetlight, and the whites of his mask widened upon seeing Giant Man clutching his ear, moaning in pain, lying in the rubble of some building, and the headless corpse of Hawkeye...with the backpack-girl standing behind him, gun barrel smoking.

Parker felt a surge of violent emotion, and he launched himself forward, using his super-strength to its fullest. Hands outstretched and webs flying, Spider-Man was relentless in his ranged assault against Piper. The demigoddess merely used her guns to blow through all the webs shot at her.
