We get on hover carriers so that we can head to the Wakandan battlefield. Nat, Steve, Bucky, Okoye, Tchalla, and I are on one of them, while Bruce is in the Hulkbuster suit.
"How we looking, Bruce?" Nat asks him through our comms.
"Yeah, I think I'm getting the hang of it. Wow! It's like being the Hulk without actually-" He stumbles on a rock, and our 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." Sam says to us.
M'Baku of the Jubari rallies his soldiers with a war cry. He stops as T'Challa nears him.
"Thank you for standing with us." TChalla says to him.
"Of course, brother."
T'Challa, Steve, Natasha, and I walk to the edge of the barrier, where Proxima Midnight and Obsidian Cole stand.
"Where's your other friend?" Nat asks.
"You will pay for his life with yours. Thanos will have that stone." Proxima says to us.
"That's not gonna happen." Steve tells her.
"Might as well just leave now." I add, both aliens glare at me.
"You are in Wakanda now. Thanos will have nothing but dust and blood." TChalla states.
"We...Have blood to spare." She raises her right arm with a cry, and several large ships emerge from the forest behind her. And we return to the front line.
"Did they surrender?" Bucky asks me.
"Not exactly."
T'Challa leads the Wakandans in the war cry "Yibambe!" telling them to hold fast as the Outriders bound toward the barrier.
"What the hell?" Bucky mutters.
"Looks like we pissed her off." Nat says.
"She pissed us off first." I say, glaring forward.
T'Challa commands the soldiers to engage their shields. Okoye watches as the Outriders bombard the dome only a few getting through. "They're killing themselves."
Sam sends Redwings into the fight as he flies. "You seen the teeth on those things?"
"Alright, back up, Sam. You're gonna get your wings singed." Rhodes flies over a section that has been breached and drops a barrage of mines.
"Steve, if these things circle the perimeter and get in behind us...There's nothing between them and Vision." I inform him.
"Then we better keep 'em in front of us."
"How do we do that?" Okoye asks.
"We open the barrier." Tchalla replies, putting his hand to his ear. "On my signal, open North-West Section Seventeen."
"Requesting confirmation, My King. You said open the barrier?" A Wakandan officer asks.
"On my signal."
"This will be the end of Wakanda." Mbaku says to Okoye.
"Then it will be the noblest ending in history."
The section of the barrier is opened. "Wakanda Forever!" Tchalla cries. He crosses his hands over his chest as his Black Panther helmet covers his face, leading the army as they run toward the barrier. T'Challa and Steve are at the front of the advancing army. "Now!" The section in the barrier disappears and the Outriders charge at us.
