Hold On Soldier ✔️ | marvel

88. Proxima

"There's too many of them!" Bruce starts screaming and I wince watching as more and more enter the borders.

"Don't give up!" I start flying toward Bruce who I'm closest to as aliens claw at his suit. I press my wind toward them and blow them away. A large blast of rainbow bright light lands in the middle of the fight, and an ax flies out of it. As it's tearing through the pack of aliens I grin. It flies past me and back to the light into the hand of Thor. Now that everyone's free we stand in awe of our beloved friend. The battle pauses as well and the enemy becomes engulfed with fear.

"AH-hahaha! You guys are so screwed now!" Bruce is overjoyed as his helmet lifts.

"Bring me Thanos!" He begins running toward the shivering aliens along with his two short accomplices. The lightning gathers around him before lifting up and leaping into the crowd of aliens. He lands in a large pile and destroys most of the aliens in one blow. In such shock I am left defenseless as a alien pounces against my back. It's teeth nail into my shoulder until it's ripped off by someone behind me. Steve has pulled the animal from right off my arm, bringing a chunk of my skin with it.

"Izzy!!" Steve shouts as he sees me kneel in pain and runs so I can face him.

"My shoulder..." I grit my teeth unable to look at what was pulled off my body. Another charges at steve and he spins to fight it as another pins me to the ground on my stomach. I feel the blood gush out of my already wounded shoulder and I tremble with squinting eyes. My feet kick and I push forward with my leg muscles to turn myself to plant my back against the ground. Now facing the alien and feel it claw at my body I feel it scratch at my open wound. Screaming, I place my good hand against the aliens chest and impale it with a strong gust of wind. I push the lowlife off me and gently place a shield of ice over my shoulder to add pressure as well as protection to the gnawed off skin. I blast wind gusts at numerous aliens tempting to attack Steve and approach him wearily.

"You alright Isabelle?" Thor grins like a golden retriever and I merely nod semi happily in reply.

"New haircut?" Steve notices as Thor joins.

"Notice you've copied my beard." Thor gestures to himself.

"All I see is slackers." I complain as I gust other aliens beside Thor and Steve. A tree with a face does what I did with my sword, holding a kabob of aliens with his arm, "Oh creative, though I didn't use my own body to pierce through their chests."

"By the way, this is a friend of mine. Tree." Thor gestures towards the tree with his weapon in response to my observation.

"I am GROOT!" It announces still holding the aliens in his arm.

"I... I am Steve Rogers." Steve politely introduces.

My eyebrow raises in confusion, "And I'm Isabelle Short. Nice to meet you small sprout."

"Fall back! Fall back now!" T'Challa shouts as giant wheels roll through the barrier. They destroy everything in their path so I leave Steve to dart forward to face the large weapons. I spray water above them and rust them up one by one. The slow pace still causing many to slip by.

"Ok so I'm not gonna make this place a pool but I'm still gonna make it drizzle." I alert hearing one of the rolling weapons thud behind me from my rusting. I aim my palm upward and create a cloud full of water, I send it to cover the entire top of the force field. I send barrels of water down to slow down the rest of them as some are knocked out by Wanda. I force my attention to her in shock and embarrassment. But mostly surprised she wasn't protecting Vision. The rest of the circular alien rollers collapse and slump against each other covered in rust.

"Guys, we got a Vision situation here." Sam tells when I'm done taking away the rain and pleased to see my accomplishment.

"Somebody get to Vision!" Steve orders through the comm as well.

"I got him!" Bruce announces as I float back down to the ground.

"On my way." Wanda also claims but as I land I witness her suddenly pinned by Proxima and rolling down into the large ditch.

"He'll die alone. As will you." The alien girl threatens.

"She's not alone." Nat tells and poses before them as well as Okoye.

"You're the one who's alone." I observe slowly approaching.

"Euuyaaah!" Proxima pounces at Nat angrily, who has joined her sticks into a full staff. Nat blocks Proxima as Okoye runs at her at the front. I slam my elbow into her back as Nat holds her down.

"I don't think three against one is very fair." I chuckle as the alien blocks heavy blows between us until a Thresher tears overhead. Proxima uses the distraction to kick Black Widow in the face, sending her to the ground. She then grabs Okoye by the shoulder and throws her meters away. I growl, "on second thought I'm totally ok with you being out numbered."

"You talk to much, human." Proxima judges.

"Now that you mention it I might be too talkative." I agree as I aim my palms at her and slam a rush of wind at her gust making her toss back.

"I think you talk just enough Isabelle." Nat splits her staff back into a pair of sticks as Proxima stands again. Nat battles the sword blows Proxima sends. When distracted I blow the sword out of her hand and knee kick her gut again. Proxima grunts and punches me to the side while diving at Nat. Being stabbed, Nat attacks back in time that one of their wheel weapons fly by again. Dark blue blood spatters the women below as Proxima gets killed. Nat exhales and says, "That was really gross."

"What's the word on Vision?" I hurry to ask as we relax for a moment. Though I'm angered they have so many large weapons still on the loose.

"Got him." Steve replies and I smile gladly toward Wanda.

Her face softens in response, "Thank god."
