After their short, peaceful time in Wakanda, Bucky and Azar must help the Avengers stop Thanos, an intergalactic warlord, from getting his hands on all the Infinity Stones. However, Thanos is prepared to go to any lengths to carry out his insane pla...
Carriers hovered across the field carrying Wakandan soldiers on board along with Natasha, Steve, and Bucky. Flying above them up were Artemis, Azar, Rhodey and Sam.
"How we looking Bruce?" Natasha asked the scientist over comms.
"Yeah, I think I'm getting the hang of it." Bruce replied with delight as he leap jogged alongside the carriers in attempt to keep up. "Wow! It's like being the Hulk without actually--" He was cut off as he tripped over a rock, tumbling to the ground .
Azar glanced down at him as she flew over. "Oh, God." She muttered.
"I've got two heat signatures breaking through the tree line." Rhodey announced.
The carrier pilots swerved their hover crafts, tilting it slightly to the side for the soldiers and heroes to disembark.
The twins landed, joining up at their partners' sides as they followed T'Challa to the front lines.
T'Challa stepped up towards M'Baku, leader of the Jabari Tribe, and clasped wrists with him. "Thank you for standing with us.
"Ewe kunjalo, mzalwana." M'Baku replied.
T'Challa glanced at Steve and Artemis, nodding at the two before they made their way over to the edge of the barrier, where Proxima Midnight and Cull Obsidian stood.
The three heroes watched as Proxima tested the strength of the barrier by drawing her sword across it.
"Where's your other friend?" Artemis asked with a tilt of her head.
"You will pay for his life with yours." Proxima replied. "Thanos will have that stone."
"That's not gonna happen." Steve said.
"You are in Wakanda now." T'Challa announced. "Thanos will have nothing but dust and blood."
"We.." Proxima eyed the three heroes in front of her. "Have blood to spare."
She brandished her sword with a feral snarl, resulting in the vessels behind her to raise their outer hulls to allow their armies to disembark.
The three heroes returned to their massed forces, Bucky throwing a quick glance at Steve before focusing his gaze on the scene in front of him. "Did they surrender?" He asked sardonically.
"Not exactly." Steve replied just as T'Challa began leading the Wakandans in the war cry, watching Proxima drop her arm as a signal to attack.
The Outriders raced towards the barrier, the team of heroes staring at the numbers with astonishment.
"What the hell?" Bucky muttered flatly.
"Looks like we pissed her off." Artemis said.
"Too bad for her because I'm highly pissed that my honeymoon was interrupted." Azar responded, glaring ahead at the alien army as they bombarded the force-field, squeezing their limbs and bodies through only to be bisected.
"They're killing themselves." Okoye said, horrified at the sight.
A few Outriders managed to sucessfully pass through the barrier, completely intact which forced the Border Tribe to take a knee and raise their shields.
The Kingsguard behind them levelled their sonic spears over their comrades' shoulders, and on T'Challa's command, fired at the oncoming aliens.
Bucky followed, using his M-249 along with Bruce firing with Hulkbuster's hand repulsors.
The heroes watched as Sam dispatched his Redwings into the fight as he flew ahead, swooping to fire at them with his Steyr pistols.
"You seen the teeth on these things?" He voiced over comms.
"Alright, back up, Sam. You're gonna get your wings singed." They watched as Rhodey flew over the heaviest concentration of Outriders, dropping barrages of mines which exploded on impact.
The team immediately noticed a pack of Outriders taking off around the force-field to the right of the defender's position.
"Cap, if these things circle the perimeter and get in behind us, there's nothing between them and Vision." Bruce said, glancing at the blonde super soldier.
"Then we better keep 'em in front of us." Steve replied grimly.
Okoye turned to the King. "How do we do that?" She asked.
T'Challa glanced at her. "We open the barrier." He answered and brought his wrist up, speaking into his comm. "On my signal, open North-West Section 17." He ordered.
"Requesting confirmation, my King. You said open the barrier?" Dome control questioned with uncertainty.
"On my signal." T'Challa confirmed.
"This will be the end of Wakanda." M'Baku said softly.
"Then it will be the noblest ending in history." The general of the Dora Milaje responded.
Steve readied one of his Vibranium hand guards while the twins' bodies began glowing with cosmic energy.
T'Challa yelled a command in Xhosa resulting in the Border Tribesmen disengaging their shields.
The King walked out in front of them, keeping his eyes on the enemy.
Azar turned to Bucky, grabbing his hand and giving it a squeeze. "You be careful out there, Soldier." She whispered, her brown eyes filled with worry.
Bucky gave her a small smile, leaning down to kiss her softly. "Only if you stay within my eyesight." He replied, earning a nod and small smile from her.
The couple turned to T'Challa, watching him in anticipation.
"Wakanda forever!" The King yelled, crossing his arms in the Wakandan salute as he closed his Black Panther helmet.
He proceeded to charge towards the barrier, the forces in tow with the heroes and leaders at the fore of the charge.
Once he reached the halfway mark, T'Challa raised his wrist and yelled into his comm, giving Dome Control the signal. "Now!"
