She'd just finished researching heroes and was finally ready to hear her mission. "Agent Sparkle, your mission is to investigate some strange activity near San Franciscolt" Princess Luna informed her, "And I've decided to bring along some help" Twilight Sparkle looked behind her as Captain America, along with a red-headed woman in a black leather suit and a blond man wearing a purple costume and carrying a bow and a set of trick arrows, like a boxing glove arrow and a gas canister arrow. "I'd like to introduce Captain America, Black Widow, and Hawkeye" Princess Luna introduced the group to Twilight Sparkle. "It's nice to meet you all, my name is Twilight Sparkle, pleasure to work with all of you" Twilight Sparkle introduced herself, holding out her hoof for a handshake. "It truly is a pleasure to work with you, too" Captain America smiled, returning the handshake. Twilight Sparkle remembered from the tapes about Captain America, and remembered that he was a good man, though she didn't know anything about Black Widow or Hawkeye. "Didn't you say a junior agent was coming too?" Hawkeye asked. "She said that she'd run into a problem but should be here soon" Black Widow informed Hawkeye. Suddenly, the door opened as Barb, a purple and green baby dragoness with adorable green eyes, chubby little cheeks, and a cute smile ran into the control room, trying to catch her breath. "Sorry I'm late guys!' Barb panted as looked at everyone. "It's alright, Barb" Black Widow assured her. "So what have you found so far?" Twilight Sparkled asked Princess Luna. "What we've found so far are reports of bug creatures, which apparently look like a cross between a dragonfly and some other things..." Princess Luna informed the group, "Our guys here have been calling them Annihilates" "Annihilates? Who called them that?" Hawkeye questioned, raising an eyebrow. At the control panel, a pony S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent lowered his head as he stopped playing Galaga on his work computer. "So, are the five of you ready?" Princess Luna asked. "Yes" Twilight Sparkle answered as a S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent bused them to a Quinjet, as they flew off to the site. "Cap, do you mind if I just call you that?" Barb asked Captain America. "Sure, why not" Captain America smiled as he flew the Quinjet. "So...what about you two? How long have you been working for S.H.I.E.L.D.?" Twilight Sparkle asked Black Widow and Hawkeye, trying to socialize with them. "I've been with S.H.I.E.LD. for a little while..." Hawkeye reminisced, "Good times, good times..." "I prefer not to talk about it..." Black Widow smiled weakly. A few hours later, the five reached the site of strange activity. It had been quarantined from the public as to not cause the public to panic. Captain America looked around as he spotted a strange, grey solid puzzle-like piece. "What's this thing?" Captain America inquired, moving the puzzle-like piece in his fingers. "Maybe it's some kind of toy?" Hawkeye guessed. "I don't think so..." Twilight Sparkle investigated the pieces. "This feels so strange!" Barb squealed in excitement, "And kind of creepy too!" Black Widow picked up two pieces of the puzzle-like object and put them together. She then picked up a third, fourth and fifth piece, and put them together, making some sort of square-like object. "Guys, I think this forms some kind of three-dimensional square thing" Black Widow told the group. Captain America and Twilight Sparkle handed the pieces of the puzzle-like object they found. "Wait! If we complete this thing, what kind of thing will happen?" Hawkeye warned the group. "You're right!" Captain America agreed, noticing that one piece was missing. "Maybe we should turn it over to S.H.I.E.L.D." Black Widow suggested as she handed the cube-like object to a S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent. "Hey! I found the final piece!" the pony S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent cheered as he put the final piece in. As the final piece was put in, a ray of light was shot into the sky, as an Annihilate flew through the portal. It was very similar to a dragon, but had longer legs, each tipped with a blade, a scorpion-like tail, and a whip-like forked tongue extruding from its mouth. "That's not good..." Hakweye sighed as pulled out an arrow and shot it at the Annihilate, only pissing it off. "Let's go!" Captain America commanded as he jumped onto a table and threw his shield at the Annihilate, hitting in the face. Twilight Sparkle blasted the Annihilate with a magical blast and Black Widow threw a grenade at the Annihilate. Unfortunately, the Annihilate was only scratched as it flew at the team. "I got it!" Hawkeye exclaimed as he fired a shrapnel arrow into the Annihilates head, causing it roar in pain as he flew away, and then dive-bombed the team! However, the sounds of a booming song sung by ACDC distracted the Annihilate long enough for a repulsor ray to blast it, knocking it over, as Iron-Man flew down to the group. "It's about time I show up!" Iron-Man exclaimed, looking around, not noticing the Annihilate charging at him. "Not so fast!" Twilight Sparkle yelled, blasting the Annihilate with magic, knocking it out right next to Iron-Man, which didn't even make him flinch. "Well...now that's what I call a close encounter!" Iron-Man joked. (To Be Continued!) Author's Note Four down, three to go! Excelsior! Issue #2 - Some Assembly Required (Part 2)Issue #2 - Some Assembly Required (Part 2) "So...what the heck was that thing?" Iron-Man asked. "S.H.I.E.L.D.'s been calling them Annihilates" Hawkeye answered. "Hmm...do you guys know anyone who might know anything about this thing?" Twilight Sparkle inquired, looking over the body of the Annihilate. "We could try Captain Marvel" Iron-Man suggested. "Who is that?" Barb asked. "I don't really know her well, but I know she was given alien powers" Iron-Man explained, "So she might know something about what's going on" "So your reasoning is because Captain Marvel has alien-like powers, so she must know something?" Black Widow raised an eyebrow. "Sure!" Iron-Man smiled. Captain America, Black Widow, and Twilight Sparkle went into the Quinjet to find Captain Marvel, while Iron Man, Hawkeye, and Barb stayed at the S.H.I.E.L.D. Area to make sure nothing else happened. A few hours later, Captain America, Black Widow, and Twilight Sparkle, reached the small town of Bodegaville, Captain Marvel's territory. They landed on Stinstallion National Beach, a place a few miles out Bodegaville. "So...do you guys know how to find Captain Marvel?" Twilight Sparkle asked. "I don't have a clue..." Black Widow answered as a blue and red streak flew through the sky. "You guys think that's her?" Captain America thought out loud as Captain Marvel landed in front of the group. "Who are you three?" Captain Marvel, aka Carol Danvers, asked the trio. "My name is Twilight Sparkle" Twilight Sparkle introduced herself, "And these are my team-mates, Black Widow and Captain America" "Well, it's nice to meet you both" Captain Marvel smiled. "Do you know anything about this?" Captain America asked Captain Marvel as he held out a copy of the alien cube-piece. "Hmm...it looks like some kind of Negative Zone Teleporter..." Captain Marvel analyzed. "What's the Negative Zone?" Black Widow asked. "It's a strange dimension that we don't quite know about" Captain Marvel explained, "But we've seen some technology and the things that live there, like the Annihilates, Annihilites, and Annihilius" "Annihilus? Who's that?" Twilight Sparkle asked. "We don't have much information on him, but we know he's the ruler of a part of the Negative Zone" Captain Marvel informed her. "Do you think that he's responsible for this?" Captain America questioned. "Probably, but we don't know for sure" Captain Marvel answered. "Say, do you want to join our team?" Twilight Sparkled asked Captain Marvel. "Sure!" Captain Marvel decided, "I'm really looking forward to helping you guys combat this new threat" Suddenly, Black Widows phone began to vibrate as she pulled it out and answered it. "Yes?" Black Widow answered. "Widow, we've got a situation down here!" Hawkeye exclaimed, "The portal opened and now there these bug type things attacking us! "Alright, we're on our way!" Black Widow assured Hawkeye as she turned to the group, "We've gotta head back to base camp, they're under attack!" "Alright, then let's go!" Captain America told the group as they rushed to the Quinjet. "Wait!" A voice called out, catching the groups attention, revealing the man to be Doctor Bruce Banner! "Who are you?" Black Widow asked. "I'm Dr. Bruce Banner, and you may need my big, green friend, so can I come with you?" Bruce Banner asked as the group nodded and made it to the Quinjet, now with Dr. Bruce Banner. Meanwhile, back at the Base Camp, Hawkeye was shooting arrows at the Annihilites, which were bug-like and walking on two legs, while protecting Barb, while Iron-Man was blasting them with repulsor rays. "Hawkeye..." Barb whimpered, "Are we going to die?" "Not on my watch!" Hawkeye exclaimed as he fired an arrow at an Annihilite, killing it. "Hawkeye, I'm running low on power! I need to stay down and recharge!" Iron-Man told Hawkeye. "How much time do you need?" Hawkeye asked desperately. "I need about thirty minutes" Iron-Man panted as he landed. "Thirty minutes!" Hawkeye exclaimed, "I've only got six arrows left!" Suddenly, a large Annihilate used its long, forked tongue to grab Barb! "Help me!" Bard cried, struggling to break free from its slimy grasp! "Barb!" Hawkeye called out he fired three arrows at the Annihilate, but to no avail. As Barb cried and weeped, fearing that her last moments would come, the clouds grew dark, and sound boisterous thunder could be heard, a blast of lightning struck down the Annihilate, freeing Barb! "What was that?!" Iron-Man questioned as the mighty Thor descended onto the battlefield! "Thanks for saving me mister!" Barb thanked Thor and hugged his leg. "Aye, tis all in thy days work!" Thor smiled. "Hey, can that hammer thing shoot lightning?" Iron-Man asked Thor. "You mean Mjlonir?" Thor explained, "Aye, for it doth strike upon my foes!" "Good, can you hit me up with some?" Iron-Man asked. "Art thou sure?" Thor raised an eyebrow. "Yes!" Iron-Man answered. "Alright!" Thor summoned a blast of lightning and launched it Iron-Man! Iron-Man checked the power in his suit, it was recharging! After about five more seconds of lightning, Iron-Man was back in action!" "Boo-ya!" Iron-Man exclaimed, "I'm charged and ready to take on anything!" "ANYTHING BUT ME!" A voice roared from the portal, as a green and purple bug-like creature with giant, green wings, clawed armor, blood-red eyes, and green robotic armor appeared from the portal. From the looks of things, this thing stood at twenty feet high. "What is that thing?" Iron-Man asked. "I AM ANNIHILUS, AND I HAVE COME TO DESTROY YOUR WORLD!" Annihilus declared as a larger army of Annihilates and Annihilites rushed through a portal! Issue #3: Some Assembly Required (Part 3)Issue #3: Some Assembly Required (Part 3) "Crap!" Iron-Man exclaimed as Thor jumped at Annihilus. "KEEP YOUR DISTANCE, MORTAL!" Annihilus roared as he blasted Thor with a negative-energy beam, sending him backwards. "Thy enemy doth be hard to reach!" Thor inferred as summoned a lightning bolt and blasted it at Annihilus, along with Iron Man firing a missile. Annihilus roared as he summoned an Annihilate to take the blow, destroying it to save his life. "That's not good..." Iron-Man sighed as the Annihilates and the Annihilites charged at the small group, when the Quinjet arrived and blasted part of the army, using its Gatling Cannon! "Nice shot!" Hawkeye complimented as the Quinjet landed, as Captain America, Black Widow, Captain Marvel, Bruce Banner, and Twilight Sparkle exited the ship and looked around the battlefield. "Alright! Let's kick some tail!" Captain Marvel exclaimed as she flew into the sky and blasted an Annihilate with her cosmic energy rays, killing it. "Twilight! You're alright!" Barb cried as she ran up and hugged Twilight Sparkle, not noticing the Annihilite sneaking up on them! "Watch out!" Captain America alerted Twilight Sparkle and Barb as he tackled Annihilte, knocking it over with his shield as an Annihilte jumped on Captain America! "I've got this!" Iron-Man yelled as he blasted the Annihilte off of Captain America. "Thanks!" Captain America thanked Iron-Man. Suddenly, an Annihilate flew down from the sky and roared. "Iron-Man, let's combine our attacks!" Captain Marvel suggested as she charged up a cosmic energy blast, while Iron-Man prepared an Arc-Reactor Blast. As the Annihilate charged at the two, Captain Marvel and Iron-Man fired their blasts, obliterating the Annihilate! "You're actually stronger then I thought" Captain Marvel complimented Iron-Man. "The same goes for you" Iron-Man complimented Captain Marvel. "Annihilus!" Thor exclaimed as he summoned thunderbolts, "Prepare to face they lightnings wrath!" "NEVER!" Annihilus roared he burst from his armor. At his now normal height, he stood about eight-feet tall. Annihilus pulled out a weapon which had a hammer on one end and a spiked-blade on the other, and charged at Thor! "Stay back, foul creature!" Thor exclaimed as he swung Mjlonir at Annihilus, knocking him back. Annihilus roared as he jumped at Thor, as The Hulk jumped out and slammed into Annihilus! "WHO DARES?!?!" Annihilus growled at The Hulk. "HULK IS THE STRONGEST THEIR IS!!!!!" The Hulk roared as he began to punch Annihilus over his armored body, as Annihilus blasted The Hulk with a dark energy ray, throwing him off himself! Annihilus roared as he began charge a beam from his mouth, but The Hulk jumped as he pounded Annihilus into the ground, punching him! Back at the center battle, Hawkeye, Black Widow, and Twilight Sparkle were battling Annihilites. "Hey Natasha" Hawkeye casually said, "This remind me of Budapest" "You and I remember Budapest differently!" Black Widow laughed as he shot an Annihilite. Annihilus roared as he flew up from the sky, and launched a ray of dark energy at The Hulk. The Hulk roared as he clapped in pure anger, unleashing a super-sonic blast, breaking a part of Annihilus's armor, which allowed him to breath our oxygen, which didn't exist in the Negative Zone. "MY...ARMOR...CAN'T...BREATHE!" Annihilus chocked heavily as he opened up a portal back to the Negative Zone, "RETREAT!" As Annihilus gave out the command, his entire forces began to retreat back into the Negative Zone, they left behind a large pile of dead and heavily injured Annihilates and Annihilites bodies. "We did it!" Captain America cheered. "It's finally over..." Twilight Sparkle sighed to herself, as her face formed a smile. "Thank Asgard!" Thor exclaimed, "I began to grow tired of giant insects!" "Mission accomplished, I guess?" Captain Marvel asked, shrugging a bit.. "Wait...where' The Hulk?" Black Widow asked worriedly. As the group approached The Hulk, he was smashing apart a group of dying Annihilates, ripping them, tearing them apart in rage. "Hulk, we did it, you can stop now" Captain America tried to "NEVER!" The Hulk roared as he smacked Captain America into a broken car. The Hulk then jumped on the group, grabbed Iron-Man, and used him as a club to knock around Black Widow, Twilight Sparkle, and Hawkeye, and he threw Iron-Man down a ledge! But as The Hulk looked over Iron-Man, Thor jumped in and whacked The Hulk with Mjlonir, knocking him onto his back! "Rock giants crumble Mjlonirs wrath!" Thor declared looking at The Hulk, "But I fear that this brute will not fall so easily!" "HULK SMASH!" The Hulk roared as he punched Thor, knocking him over. "Hulk, stop!" Captain America yelled at The Hulk. The Hulk looked at Captain America with fury in is eyes, and began to charge Captain America! '"HULK SMASH!" The Hulk yelled, not noticing Black Widow as he jumped onto him and injected him with an Anti-Gamma tranquilizer serum serum, reverting him back to Bruce Banner. Iron-Man stumbled back up and saw the destruction. "Did we win?" Iron-Man asked. The next day, Iron-Man, Captain America, Thor, Captain Marvel, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Twilight Sparkle, and Barb approached Princess Luna. "We're sorry about the whole Hulk thing..." Iron-Man apologized. "It's alright, we have him under control in an underground facility" Princess Luna explained. "And what about the rest of us?" Hawkeye asked. "Well, after some consideration, I've decided to create a new team, operated by all of you" Princess Luna smiled, "And I've decided to call you...The Avengers!" "The Avengers...it doth have a nice sound to it!" Thor smiled. "That sounds cool to me!" Twilight Sparkle exclaimed happily, "Avengers, Assemble!" (To Be Continued) Issue #4: The Twins (Part 1)Issue #4: The Twins (Part 1) Captain America drank his coffee, sitting with the Avengers team, which was made of Captain America, Iron-Man, Captain Marvel, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Twilight Sparkle, and Barb. If you're wonder where Thor is, he left back for Asgard, citing something going on there. "So...what do we do now?" Captain Marvel asked. "I wouldn't know..." Hawkeye sighed bored as Princess Luna entered with two S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents with files. "My Avengers, I have a new mission for you all" Princess Luna announced to the Avengers, "We've got reports of two super-powered beings in Sokovia, along with reports of Hydra returning" "Hydra returning? How?" Black Widow questioned. "We don't know..." Princess Luna answered. "Alright, Avengers Assemble!" Twilight Sparkle called out as the Avengers began to board a Quinjet, while Iron-Man and Captain Marvel flew besides the ship. "Sokovia, where's that?" Twilight Sparkle asked the group. "It's a country right next to Latveria" Captain America answered, "I've had some missions there during World War II" "My sources have told me that there used to be a Hydra base in the center of the country, so that they could control everything in the country" Black Widow informed the group. "Ah, Sokovia...skiing, ice-skating, snow-shoeing, drinking hot chocolate with dad..." Iron-Man reminisced, "Good times, good times..." "I did fly over Sokovia once, before I was Captain Marvel" Captain Marvel told the Avengers, "I was testing out a new stealth-bomber model" "So do we know anything about these two meta humans?" Twilight Sparkle questioned. "Well, we know that their names are Wanda and Pietro Maximoff" Barb answered, "Wanda Maximoff has chaos magic and probability, and Pietro Maximoff has super-speed" "My sources have told me that they were experimented on by Hydra, which gave them their powers" Black Widow informed the Avengers. "Well, they've been trying to make a super-solider ever since Abraham Erskine joined on our side" Captain America added. "Interesting..." Hawkeye smiled, "I think they'd make good Avengers members" As they landed near Sokovia, the Avengers landed and walked towards the abandoned Hydra base. "Barb, can you guard the Quinjet?" Captain America asked Barb. "Sure!" Barb cheerfully answered as she closed up the Quinjet. Black Widow went ahead and mapped out a path that strays away from Sokovia to not be seen. "I've never liked sneaking around..." Captain America stated as they tried to avoid being spotted, until they reached the abandoned base, which had started to be reclaimed by nature, as plants were being to grow all over it and birds began to nest inside of it. "This is totally not ominous..." Iron-Man sarcastically remarked as they sneaked around the abandoned base. Suddenly, a super-fast streak of light burst past the Avengers, knocking a few of them over! "What the heck was that?!" Hawkeye exclaimed as he pulled out his bow and arrow. "Get out of here!" A feminine voice called out as the streak of light slammed the rest of the Avengers down. "Who are you?" Black Widow asked as a teenage girl in a pink costume stood next to a man in a blue and white costume appeared. "My name is Wanda Maximoff, but you can call me the Scarlet Witch" Scarlet Witch introduced herself to the Avengers. "And my name is Pietro Maximoff, but you will call me Quicksilver" Quicksilver introduced himself to the Avengers, "Are you with Baron Zemo?!? "What's a Baron Zemo?" Twilight Sparkle asked confused. "Baron Zemo, he helped finance Tirek during World War II" Captain America informed Twilight Sparkle. "He's also the one responsible for the death of Bucky Barnes" Captain Marvel added "So are you with them?" Quicksilver questioned the Avengers as Scarlet Witch put a hand on her shoulder. "I've read their minds, and they are on our side" Scarlet Witch insisted, "They've come to stop Baron Zemo and Hydra" "Alright sister, we'll trust these costumed people...for now..." Quicksilver smiled. "So...where is Baron Zemo?" Captain Marvel asked Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver. "Baron Zemo and his paramilitary forces have taken the capitol building" Scarlet Witch informed the group. "Alright, then let's help the Sokovians take back Sokovia!" Twilight Sparkle told the group, "Avengers Assemble!" At the Sokovian Capitol, Baron Helmut Zemo was sitting on his throne of money when the alarms went off. "What the heck is that?" Baron Helmut Zemo exclaimed at his guards. "Sir, the Avengers have arrived" The Guard informed Baron Helmut Zemo. "Are my villains ready?" Baron Zemo asked as the fives villains that he hired walked through the door. The villains that Baron Zemo hired were Whirlwind, a villain who could create strong gusts of wind, The Melter, a villain who had a laser-acid ray shooter on his arm, Moonstone, a villainess who had flight and cosmic blasts, Radioactive Man, a villain made of radiation, and the Black Knight, a villain who wears black knight-armor and had a magic sword. "Sir, we art ready to fight!" The Black Knight exclaimed excitedly as he raised his sword. "Also, we found this little thing!" Moonstone smiled as she threw a tied-up Barb on the ground. "Excellent work, Moonstone" Baron Helmut Zemo congratulated Moonstone. "Hey, it was me who tired her up!" Whirlwind snarled at Moonstone. "Don't make me laugh!" Moonstone laughed as she knocked over Whirlwind. "Stop it! Your job is to stop the Avengers from reaching me, understood?!" Baron Helmut Zemo commanded the group, "Now go, my Masters of Evil! Destroy the Avengers!" (To Be Continued) Issue #5: The Twins (Part 2)The Avengers approached Baron Zemo's room, a strong gust of wind began to blow, as the Masters of Evil walked through the door and faced the Avengers. "Masters of Evil, attack!" Baron Zemo commanded as they rushed towards the Avengers! "Avengers, assemble!" Twilight Sparkle assembled the Avengers, who also rushed towards the Masters of Evil, preparing for a battle! Captain America and Black Widow rushed towards The Black Knight, Iron-Man blasted Radioactive Man, Captain Marvel fired a cosmic ray at Moonstone, Scarlet Witch fired a chaos blast at The Melter, while Hawkeye and Twilight Sparkle chased the Whirlwind! "Cap, we need to separate the Black Knight from his sword!" Black Widow told Captain America. "Good idea, Natasaha!" Captain America complimented Black Widow as Captain America jumped up and threw his shield at the Black Knight's hand, dropping his Ebony Blade, losing the source of his power! "No! You doth my source of power!" Black Knight declared as Black Widow knocked him out! "Let's admit it, I'm the true cosmic gal!" Moonstone declared as she blasted Captain Marvel with star-bolts as Captain Marvel made a cosmic-energy shield. "No, well know it's me!" Captain Marvel smiled as she powered up her fists with cosmic energy, as Moonstone did the same. "No, I am !" Moonstone snarled as she slapped Captain Marvel. "How dare you!" Captain Marvel slapped Moonstone back. "It's so on!" Moonstone roared as Captain Marvel blasted Moonstone with a cosmic blast! "No, I am!" Captain Marvel smiled. Iron-Man blasted with his repulsor rays, Radioactive Man, which caused him to laugh. "Any form of radiation I am immune to!" Radioactive Man boasted, "So none of your attacks can hurt me!" "Sure, my repulsor rays are partly radioactive, but the rest of my weapons don't need radiation!" Iron-Man laughed as he blasted freezing missiles at Radioactive Man, freezing him in place! Twilight Sparkle attempted to restrain The Whirlwind with magical chains, while Hawkeye shot arrows at The Whirlwind. "Hawkeye, I need you to disable The Whirlwind for a minute!" Twilight Sparkle told Hawkeye. "Aye aye, Twilight!" Hawkeye smiled as he looked for the right spot to fire an electric-arrow, which would allow him to short-circuit The Whirlwind's armor. "Do you have a shot?" Twilight Sparkle impatiently asked, still trying to restrain The Whirlwind. "I got one!" Hawkeye declared as he fired the electric-arrow into The Whirlwinds weak spot, his lower chest, short circuiting his armor and knocking him out! Twilight Sparkle then bound Whirlwind with magical chains. "Nice shot, Hawkeye!" Twilight Sparkle hi-fived Hawkeye. Scarlet Witch looked at the Melter, with her quiet rage building up. Chaotic magic began to surround her hands, filling with dark energy. "Stop staring at me!" The Melter yelled as he blasted Scarlet Witch with a melting ray! Scarlet Witch smiled and made a shied made of chaos-energy, blocking the melting ray, stunning The Melter. "Would you like to try again?" Scarlet Witch asked quietly, still staring at The Melter. "You bet I-" "Too late!" Scarlet Witch exclaimed as she blasted The Melter with a full force of chaos-energy, knocking him out cold. "Beware the silent ones, indeed..." Scarlet Witch thought to herself as she smiled. Outside, Baron Zemo, carrying a struggling Barb, was running towards his meaning of escape, a single-seated plane. As Baron Zemo reached the plane, a speedy, silvery force knocked him over! "You didn't see that coming!" Quicksilver smiled as pulled Barb away from Baron Zemo's clutch. "Thanks for saving me, mister!" Barb lovingly hugged Quicksilver's leg. "No problem, little one" Quicksilver smiled, not noticing Baron Zemo sneaking behind him, raising his sword. "I've got you now!" Baron Zemo exclaimed as he prepared to attack Quicksilver, but suddenly, Ant-Man grew to human size and grabbed Baron Zemo's sword! "Yeah, not today!" Ant-Man smiled as he kicked Baron Zemo to the ground. As Baron Zemo jumped up to tackle Ant-Man, a blast of Bio-Electric Energy hit Baron Zemo, knocking him out! "Nice shot, Wasp!" Ant-Man complimented Wasp, aka Amber Locks, as she landed next to him. "Thanks!" Wasp smiled as she kissed Ant-Man on the cheek. "Who are you two?" Quicksilver asked Ant-Man and Wasp. "These two are friends" Iron-Man answered, "Meet the two new Avengers members, Ant-Man and Wasp" "Wow, two new Avengers in one day!" Captain Marvel noted. "Well...Quicksilver, do you want to make it two more?" Scarlet Witch asked Quicksilver. "Of course!" Quicksilver answered. "Then make that four in one day!" Black Widow stated. "Alright, let's head back to base, we've earned a nice rest" Captain America smiled. "Do you think we have enough room in the Quinjet?" Hawkeye asked. "Don't worry, we probably do" Black Widow reassured Hawkeye "Right. Avengers Assemble!" Twilight Sparkle cried out happily as they boarded the Quinjet. However, in another abandoned building, a new Masters of Evil, named Tiger Shark, Absorbing Man, Titania, Moonstone, The Whirlwind, and The Beetle met with a man named the Crimson Cowl. He wore he a red cape, and constantly covered his face from all. "I'll bet you all have questions for me..." The Crimson Cowl told the new Masters of Evil, "But I can assure you a quick defeat of the Avengers, my Masters of Evil" "And how can we trusts yous?" Absorbing Man questioned The Crimson Cowl. "Because you can trust my plans. Besides, it's only logical..." The Crimson Cowl told the Masters of Evil, revealing a silver, robotic arm... (To Be Continued) Issue #6: Cyber-War (Part 1)Issue #6: Cyber-War (Part 1) Near the African nation of Wakanda, a small group of Avengers, which were Iron-Man, Barb, Captain Marvel, Quicksilver, and Scarlet Witch, were sent to investigate rumors of a new team of villains, which have been stealing large sums of Vibranium. "Hmm...why would a new team of villains form without Zemo?" Quicksilver wondered out loud to the group, "There's been no major criminal activity since Baron Zemo's been arrested" "I wouldn't know, but villains are the opportunistic type, they'll jump at any offer" Captain Marvel hypothesized, "Since we've become such a good team, villains have to team up to even match up against us" "They could also be here for the large sums of Vibranium" Iron-Man told the group, "A rare metal that's only available in Wakanda" "This is strange...I'm feeling many different life-forms approaching us..." Scarlet Witch sensed. "Hopefully it's just animals..." Barb thought out loud. "Yeah, I'm also picking up cosmic rays..." Iron-Man noted. "Cosmic rays...there's only one other being I can think of that can use cosmic rays..." Captain Marvel thought out loud as Moonstone blasted her in the back, knocking her out! "Avengers, attack!" Iron-Man called out as Absorbing Man, The Whirlwind, Titania, Tiger Shark, and The Beetle approached the Avengers. "I got this!" Quicksilver exclaimed as he began to run circles around Absorbing Man, making him fall over! He began to run towards Tiger Shark, but was punched in the stomach by Titania, stopping him! "I'm sure he didn't see that coming!" Titania laughed. Iron-Man then flew in and blasted a few tiny-missiles at her, each hitting their target, knocking Titania out of the fight! "Scarlet Witch, Barb, I need you two to get some help!" Iron-Man told Scarlet Witch and Barb. "But what about you?" Barb asked worriedly. "I'll handle these villains!" Iron-Man exclaimed as he blasted Tiger Shark with a repulsor ray! "Alright, were do we go?" Scarlet Witch asked as she blasted Moonstone with a blast of chaos-magic! "Just keep going straight and you'll find him!" Iron-Man explained as he was tackled by The Whirlwind! Scarlet Witch nodded, grabbed Barb, and began to make a mad-dash forwards. She jumped and dodged through thorn and bristle until reaching what appeared to be a village. "Who are you two?" A Villager asked Scarlet Witch and Barb. "Iron-Man told us to see a man, but we don't know his name" Barb explained to the villager. "It's me who you want to see" T'Challa, prince of Wakanda, approached the two. "Iron-Man, Quicksilver, and Captain Marvel have been captured by a group of villains" Scarlet Witch informed T'Challa. "Then it has begun..." T'Challa sighed as he approached a statue of a panther, opened a hand-scanner, scanned his hand, and a container popped up, revealing a black cat-like costume. "That suit looks really cool!" Barb smiled. "Thanks, the mantle of the Black Panther has been passed from generation to generation, and thus the costume has been to be more modern and sleek" T'Challa explained as he put the suit on, becoming the Black Panther! "Now, let's go rescue the Avengers!" Scarlet Witch told the group. "Avengers, Assemble!" Barb called out, "I've always wanted to say that!" In the middle of the forest, there lay an old, abandoned factory used to make weapons out of Vibranium. Iron-Man, Captain Marvel, and Quicksilver awoke to find them strapped to chairs with Vibranium bounds, and Iron-Man was without helmet. "Hello, my prisoners..." The Crimson Cowl greeted his prisoners. "Why are hiding behind a red cowl?" Quicksilver asked, "Are you too ugly to show your face? Or are you just a really big fan of Red Riding Hood?" "No, it's for better reasons..." The Crimson Cowl scoffed as he took of his cowl, revealing a silver, metallic robot with with deep-red optic sensors! "Ultron!" Iron-Man exclaimed. "In the flesh..." Ultron smiled devilishly. "How do you know who Ultron is?" Captain Marvel asked Iron-Man. "Because I made him..." Iron-Man sighed, "When I was young, my father wanted to keep me away from other kids, so I built an A.I. as a friend" "And that A.I. escaped his virtual prison and got himself a crew of villains and a pure-metal body!" Ultron laughed. However, inside Ultron's abandoned building, Scarlet Witch, Black Panther, and Barb were sneaking around the building. "I sense two lifeforms up ahead...both in stasis..." Scarlet Witch sensed as she opened a door, revealing two human-sized tubes, one had a man in a black and red suit, and a green, red, and yellow robot. "Alright, I think we need some allies..." Black Panther smiled as he used his Vibranium claws to slice upon the control panel, freeing the man and the robot. "Huh...where am I?" Simon Williams, the man, asked the trio. "What's your name?" Barb asked Simon Williams. "I'm Simon Williams, but people call me Wonder-Man!" Wonder-Man introduced himself. "Why do they call you that?" Scarlet Witch asked Wonder-Man. "Because I can do this!" Wonder-Man smiled as he charged ionic-energy in his fists and punched a large hole in a wall! "Good, we could use some more help" Barb smiled, "Will you join the Avengers?" "Sure" Wonder-Man grinned happily. "Good. Barb, can you program that android?" Scarlet Witch asked Barb. "Sure!" Barb smiled as he began to re-program the android, "I think I'll call him...The Vision!" "Alright, now let's go save our friends!" Scarlet Witch exclaimed as she, Black Panther, and Wonder-Man began to walk towards the prison room. (To Be Continued) Author's Note (Involves Barb, Iron-Man, Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, and Captain Marvel) Issue #7: Cyber-War (Part 2)Issue #7: Cyber-War (Part 2) Scarlet Witch, Black Panther, and Wonder-Man were now sneaking around the abandoned building, almost at the Prisoner Room, which was reached rather easily. "Guys! You're back!" Iron-Man exclaimed. "Can you free us?" Quicksilver asked, "Also, who's the guy in the black suit and the guy in the black and red suit?" "These are the two new members of the Avengers, Black Panther and Wonder-Man" Scarlet Witch introduced the newest members of the Avengers. "I'll free these three, if anyone comes through, I need you two to handle them, understood?" Black Panther instructed Scarlet Witch and Wonder-Man. Suddenly, a dark-energy blast hit Black Panther, knocking him off his feet! "You thought that you could escape with ease, did you?" Ultron cackled as his hand smoked from the blast, "That is truly illogical!" "Take this!" Wonder-Man exclaimed as he clapped his hands, which blasted Ultron with a ionic-energy blast! But Ultron still stood after the blast! "Is that the best you can do?" Ultron laughed as he shrugged off the blast, as the new Masters of Evil walked in the room. "Now that's not that fair!" Wonder-Man yelled at Ultron as Tiger Shark jumped at Wonder-Man with sharp-teeth brimming, but Scarlet Witch blasted Tiger Shark with chaos-magic, knocking him out! "Do you think that we can take on these villains alone?" Scarlet Witch asked Wonder-Man worriedly. "Maybe?" Wonder-Man shrugged as both he and Scarlet Witch blasted Absorbing Man! "I'll crush you all!" Titania roared as she was blasted by solar-energy eye beams! "Who did that?" Scarlet Witch asked as Iron-Man, Quicksilver, Captain Marvel entered the room. "That would be me..." The red and green android told the group with Barb on his shoulder. "I did it!" Barb exclaimed happily, "I named him Vision" The Vision smiled as he put Barb on the ground. Vision then looked at The Beetle, The Whirlwind, and Moonstone, and smiled.. The Beetle flew at Vision, but Vision made his hand intangible, and then forced it thorough The Beetle's suit, destroying the electronics! The Whirlwind began to charge a windstorm, but Vision used his solar-energy eyes beams to melt the weak-point of The Whirlwinds armor, causing him to fall from the sky! "I won't fall so-" "You're mine!" Captain Marvel interrupted Moonstone as she blasted her with a cosmic-blast, knocking her out! "You shall all fall before me!" Ultron roared as he blasted Captain Marvel with a dark-energy beam! Iron-Man, Wonder-Man, and Scarlet Witch pooled their energy blasts together and a triple-powered beam at Ultron! "Did it work?" Iron-Man asked as the smoke cleared, trying to look for Ultron. "NEGATIVE!" Ultron screeched as he jumped out of the small crater! Quicksilver dashed with his might at Ultron, but Ultron punched Quicksilver in the chest, knocking the breath out of him! "Pietro!" Scarlet Witch exclaimed as she prepared a blast of chaos-magic, which Ultron negated by blasting her hands with eye beams! But as Ultron was unaware, the Black Panther jumped onto Ultron, and began to tear his circuitry out of his body! Ultron screamed in pain as he threw the Black Panther off of him! "I will not fall to a lower-life-" "Humans are not lower than you!" Vision called out as he made his arm intangible and shoved it through Ultron's body! Ultron turned his head and fired an eye-beam directly at Vision! "You have failed your objective" Ultron sneered at Vision. "I haven't failed..." Vision weakly smiled, "Your artificial head-spine, I have separated it! "Impossible! There is now way I can be-" "ULTRON!" Captain Marvel yelled as she punched Ultron's head off, and Black Panther crushed Ultron's head! "Is it over?" Scarlet Witch asked. "I think so..." Quicksilver sighed as he sat down, exhausted from the battle,. "Well...is everyone alright?" Iron-Man asked the group. "What about Vision?" Captain Marvel asked as she pointed to the wounded Vision. "I'm fine...I just require some fixing..." The Vision reassured the group as he tried to get up. "Save your strength, Vision..." Barb quietly told Vision. "Alright Avengers, let's go home" Captain Marvel told the group. As the Avengers team returned back to base, a strange light could be seen over The Helicarrier and San Franciscolt. "What the heck is that?" Wonder-Man asked. "I can't tell...it's cosmic in origin, but I can't identify it..." Captain Marvel sighed. "Anyways, Vision, would you like to join the Avengers?" Iron-Man asked Vision. "Is the Avengers a just cause?" Vision asked. "Yes, it is" Scarlet Witch smiled. "Then consider me a part of this team" Vision smiled. "Me too!" Wonder-Man added. "Then I shall join as well..." Black Panther quietly added. "Alright, when we get back, tonight we're going to party like there's no tomorrow!" Iron-Man declared. "Some R and R time would be nice..." Quicksilver smiled as he thought of massages, back rubs, and a nice hot-tub. When the Quinjet returned to the Helicarrier, something didn't feel right... "I sense great pain in some of the people and ponies here..." Scarlet Witch sensed, feeling the auras of the people and ponies in the Helicarrier. "I can also feel it too..." Vision added, scanning the area. As the Avengers walked in, what they saw shocked them! Instead of a pony named Princess Luna, there was a human standing there! Along with many of the ponies on the Helicarrier, half of them were now human! Two of them were Princess Candace and Shining Armor. "What the heck happened?!" Quicksilver asked confused. "It's a long story..." a now human Princess Luna sighed, looking at her body. She had quite a nice figure, and her blue hair looked beautiful. (To Be Continued) Issue #8 - Inhuman FactorIssue #8 - Inhuman Factor (Part 1) "Alright, we're at the scene" Captain America told his group, which consisted of Ant-Man, Wasp, Hawkeye, Black Widow, and Twilight Sparkle. The scene was at a beach that had been the site of some kind of battle, with trees and bushes scattered around. "I can sense a life-force coming from around here" Twilight Sparkle noted as she began to track the energy around the area. "Twilight's right, something just feels wrong" Wasp added as shrank down to look for clues. "Yeah, I'm picking up the ants pheromones and they can also sense something strange" Ant-Man also added as he controlled some ants to find clues as well. Black Widow and Hawkeye began to look through the bushes, and noticed a teenage girl with orange hair, blue eyes, and a yellow and black suit, crying under a bush, and was a bit injured. "Hey, are you alright?" Hawkeye asked the girl. "Maximus...he's going to..." The girl shivered in fear, "He hates ponies and humans..." "What's your name?" Black Widow asked the girl. "My name... I'm Crystal..." Crystal introduced herself, "I need you to help me" "And why is that?" Twilight Sparkled asked as they noticed a man in a brown suit with goat-like legs and a woman with long, red hair approaching them. "State your names!" Captain America ordered the two. "Gorgon answers to no human or pony!" Gorgon, the man with the goat-like legs roared as he stomped his feet on the ground, making a small earthquake, which caused the Avengers to stumble! "Avengers, Assemble!" Twilight Sparkle declared! "Wasp, Twilight Sparkle and I will take the goat guy!" Captain America organized their roles, "Ant-Man, Hawkeye, Black Widow, you two take down the living bad hair day!" Wasp shrunk down and flew around Gorgon, blasting him with little bits of bio-electric energy, though they didn't faze him, but Twilight Sparkle's blasts of magic were harmful, and Captain America threw his shield at Gorgon! Ant-Man shrunk down, jumped onto a flying-ant and began to fly around the woman with long, red hair. "You cannot stop the invincible hair of Medusa!" Medusa boasted as she tangled Ant-Man in her moving hair! "Lady, have you ever heard of a haircut!?" Ant-Man asked Medusa. "Jokes won't get you anywhere!" Medusa laughed as Hawkeye fired arrows at her and Black Widow began shooting at her, to which she flicked the bullets away and grabbed the arrow with her hair! "Take it from me, never grab arrows!" Hawkeye scolded Medusa as the arrow exploded! "Medusa!" Gorgon yelled in shock as punched Captain America and slammed Twilight Sparkle! "Gorgon...we must retrieve Crystal..." Medusa told Gorgon tiredly. "Right!" Gorgon nodded as he ran towards Crystal, but Captain America threw his shield at Gorgon, knocking him over! "You cannot interfere in Inhuman matters!" Gorgon declared. "What's an Inhuman?" Ant-Man asked as a ship locked all the combatants into a tractor beam and took them onto the ship! "Where the heck are we?" Black Widow asked as a pink, gas began to fill the room, knocking everyone out, save for Crystal, Medusa, and Gorgon. "Crystal, why were you on Earth?" Medusa questioned Crystal, "You might have revealed where we live!" "I've been warning all of you, Maximus the Mad is going to destroy Earth!" Crystal told the two. "If Maximus is going to pull off that kind of stunt, we'll find out" Gorgon told Crystal, as the ship traveled to a domed-city on the moon! When the Avengers woke, they were chained up and being presented to a man in a black suit with a tuning fork on his forehead. "Welcome to Attilan, home of the Inhumans" Triton, a fishman-like Inhuman told the Avengers. "Black Bolt asks why you attacked us" Medusa communicated for Black Bolt. "Why do you talk for him?" Twilight Sparkle asked. "If Black Bolt were to talk, then the results would be catastrophic!" Karnac explained. "See, I told you that the humans and ponies would come to destroy us!" Maximus the Mad told Black Bolt. "No, the ponies and humans were only worried!" Crystal interjected. "We should in-act Project Dorvan!" Maximus the Mad suggested to Black Bolt. "Inhumans, if that is what you are called, we'll leave you alone" Twilight Sparkle told Black Bolt. "Yeah, unless you call us, we won't visit you!" Ant-Man added. "Liars!" Maximus the Mad roared. Black Bolt's head-tuning-fork began to glow as he relayed a message to Medusa. "Black Bolt has spoken! Under the rules that you never come back, you are free to go" Medusa declared. "NO!" Maximus the Mad screeched as he ran towards a room. "Stop him before he activates Project Dorvan!" Crystal exclaimed as a blast of light beamed coming from Attlian struck the Earth! "What happened to the Earth?!" Black Widow asked furiously. "You're too late!" Maximus the Mad laughed, "Over ninny-percent of all ponies on Earth are now humans!" "No...you've been trying to push ponies into extinction!" Medusa exclaimed. "And I will succeed in my cause when I-" "STOP!" Black Bolt yelled as he unleashed the power of a nuclear bomb, sending Maximus the Mad flying backwards! "I don't know what to tell you..." Medusa sighed sadly. "Don't be upset, it's not your fault" Hawkeye reassured Medusa. "We need to head back to Earth to try and fix this" Captain America sighed as they went to the ship. (To Be Continued)
Issue #1 - Some Assembly Required (Part 1) Issue #1 - Some Assembly Required (Part 1) Issue #1 - Some Assembly Required (Part 1) Twilight Sparkle approached Princess Luna, saluting her. She'd just finished researching heroes and was finally ready to hear her mission. "Agent Sparkle, your mission is to investigate some strange activity near San Franciscolt" Princess Luna informed her, "And I've decided to bring along some help" Twilight Sparkle looked behind her as Captain America, along with a red-headed woman in a black leather suit and a blond man wearing a purple costume and carrying a bow and a set of trick arrows, like a boxing glove arrow and a gas canister arrow. "I'd like to introduce Captain America, Black Widow, and Hawkeye" Princess Luna introduced the group to Twilight Sparkle. "It's nice to meet you all, my name is Twilight Sparkle, pleasure to work with all of you" Twilight Sparkle introduced herself, holding out her hoof for a handshake. "It truly is a pleasure to work with you, too" Captain America smiled, returning the handshake. Twilight Sparkle remembered from the tapes about Captain America, and remembered that he was a good man, though she didn't know anything about Black Widow or Hawkeye. "Didn't you say a junior agent was coming too?" Hawkeye asked. "She said that she'd run into a problem but should be here soon" Black Widow informed Hawkeye. Suddenly, the door opened as Barb, a purple and green baby dragoness with adorable green eyes, chubby little cheeks, and a cute smile ran into the control room, trying to catch her breath. "Sorry I'm late guys!' Barb panted as looked at everyone. "It's alright, Barb" Black Widow assured her. "So what have you found so far?" Twilight Sparkled asked Princess Luna. "What we've found so far are reports of bug creatures, which apparently look like a cross between a dragonfly and some other things..." Princess Luna informed the group, "Our guys here have been calling them Annihilates" "Annihilates? Who called them that?" Hawkeye questioned, raising an eyebrow. At the control panel, a pony S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent lowered his head as he stopped playing Galaga on his work computer. "So, are the five of you ready?" Princess Luna asked. "Yes" Twilight Sparkle answered as a S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent bused them to a Quinjet, as they flew off to the site. "Cap, do you mind if I just call you that?" Barb asked Captain America. "Sure, why not" Captain America smiled as he flew the Quinjet. "So...what about you two? How long have you been working for S.H.I.E.L.D.?" Twilight Sparkle asked Black Widow and Hawkeye, trying to socialize with them. "I've been with S.H.I.E.LD. for a little while..." Hawkeye reminisced, "Good times, good times..." "I prefer not to talk about it..." Black Widow smiled weakly. A few hours later, the five reached the site of strange activity. It had been quarantined from the public as to not cause the public to panic. Captain America looked around as he spotted a strange, grey solid puzzle-like piece. "What's this thing?" Captain America inquired, moving the puzzle-like piece in his fingers. "Maybe it's some kind of toy?" Hawkeye guessed. "I don't think so..." Twilight Sparkle investigated the pieces. "This feels so strange!" Barb squealed in excitement, "And kind of creepy too!" Black Widow picked up two pieces of the puzzle-like object and put them together. She then picked up a third, fourth and fifth piece, and put them together, making some sort of square-like object. "Guys, I think this forms some kind of three-dimensional square thing" Black Widow told the group. Captain America and Twilight Sparkle handed the pieces of the puzzle-like object they found. "Wait! If we complete this thing, what kind of thing will happen?" Hawkeye warned the group. "You're right!" Captain America agreed, noticing that one piece was missing. "Maybe we should turn it over to S.H.I.E.L.D." Black Widow suggested as she handed the cube-like object to a S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent. "Hey! I found the final piece!" the pony S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent cheered as he put the final piece in. As the final piece was put in, a ray of light was shot into the sky, as an Annihilate flew through the portal. It was very similar to a dragon, but had longer legs, each tipped with a blade, a scorpion-like tail, and a whip-like forked tongue extruding from its mouth. "That's not good..." Hakweye sighed as pulled out an arrow and shot it at the Annihilate, only pissing it off. "Let's go!" Captain America commanded as he jumped onto a table and threw his shield at the Annihilate, hitting in the face. Twilight Sparkle blasted the Annihilate with a magical blast and Black Widow threw a grenade at the Annihilate. Unfortunately, the Annihilate was only scratched as it flew at the team. "I got it!" Hawkeye exclaimed as he fired a shrapnel arrow into the Annihilates head, causing it roar in pain as he flew away, and then dive-bombed the team! However, the sounds of a booming song sung by ACDC distracted the Annihilate long enough for a repulsor ray to blast it, knocking it over, as Iron-Man flew down to the group. "It's about time I show up!" Iron-Man exclaimed, looking around, not noticing the Annihilate charging at him. "Not so fast!" Twilight Sparkle yelled, blasting the Annihilate with magic, knocking it out right next to Iron-Man, which didn't even make him flinch. "Well...now that's what I call a close encounter!" Iron-Man joked. (To Be Continued!) Author's Note Four down, three to go! Excelsior!
Issue #2 - Some Assembly Required (Part 2)Issue #2 - Some Assembly Required (Part 2) "So...what the heck was that thing?" Iron-Man asked. "S.H.I.E.L.D.'s been calling them Annihilates" Hawkeye answered. "Hmm...do you guys know anyone who might know anything about this thing?" Twilight Sparkle inquired, looking over the body of the Annihilate. "We could try Captain Marvel" Iron-Man suggested. "Who is that?" Barb asked. "I don't really know her well, but I know she was given alien powers" Iron-Man explained, "So she might know something about what's going on" "So your reasoning is because Captain Marvel has alien-like powers, so she must know something?" Black Widow raised an eyebrow. "Sure!" Iron-Man smiled. Captain America, Black Widow, and Twilight Sparkle went into the Quinjet to find Captain Marvel, while Iron Man, Hawkeye, and Barb stayed at the S.H.I.E.L.D. Area to make sure nothing else happened. A few hours later, Captain America, Black Widow, and Twilight Sparkle, reached the small town of Bodegaville, Captain Marvel's territory. They landed on Stinstallion National Beach, a place a few miles out Bodegaville. "So...do you guys know how to find Captain Marvel?" Twilight Sparkle asked. "I don't have a clue..." Black Widow answered as a blue and red streak flew through the sky. "You guys think that's her?" Captain America thought out loud as Captain Marvel landed in front of the group. "Who are you three?" Captain Marvel, aka Carol Danvers, asked the trio. "My name is Twilight Sparkle" Twilight Sparkle introduced herself, "And these are my team-mates, Black Widow and Captain America" "Well, it's nice to meet you both" Captain Marvel smiled. "Do you know anything about this?" Captain America asked Captain Marvel as he held out a copy of the alien cube-piece. "Hmm...it looks like some kind of Negative Zone Teleporter..." Captain Marvel analyzed. "What's the Negative Zone?" Black Widow asked. "It's a strange dimension that we don't quite know about" Captain Marvel explained, "But we've seen some technology and the things that live there, like the Annihilates, Annihilites, and Annihilius" "Annihilus? Who's that?" Twilight Sparkle asked. "We don't have much information on him, but we know he's the ruler of a part of the Negative Zone" Captain Marvel informed her. "Do you think that he's responsible for this?" Captain America questioned. "Probably, but we don't know for sure" Captain Marvel answered. "Say, do you want to join our team?" Twilight Sparkled asked Captain Marvel. "Sure!" Captain Marvel decided, "I'm really looking forward to helping you guys combat this new threat" Suddenly, Black Widows phone began to vibrate as she pulled it out and answered it. "Yes?" Black Widow answered. "Widow, we've got a situation down here!" Hawkeye exclaimed, "The portal opened and now there these bug type things attacking us! "Alright, we're on our way!" Black Widow assured Hawkeye as she turned to the group, "We've gotta head back to base camp, they're under attack!" "Alright, then let's go!" Captain America told the group as they rushed to the Quinjet. "Wait!" A voice called out, catching the groups attention, revealing the man to be Doctor Bruce Banner! "Who are you?" Black Widow asked. "I'm Dr. Bruce Banner, and you may need my big, green friend, so can I come with you?" Bruce Banner asked as the group nodded and made it to the Quinjet, now with Dr. Bruce Banner. Meanwhile, back at the Base Camp, Hawkeye was shooting arrows at the Annihilites, which were bug-like and walking on two legs, while protecting Barb, while Iron-Man was blasting them with repulsor rays. "Hawkeye..." Barb whimpered, "Are we going to die?" "Not on my watch!" Hawkeye exclaimed as he fired an arrow at an Annihilite, killing it. "Hawkeye, I'm running low on power! I need to stay down and recharge!" Iron-Man told Hawkeye. "How much time do you need?" Hawkeye asked desperately. "I need about thirty minutes" Iron-Man panted as he landed. "Thirty minutes!" Hawkeye exclaimed, "I've only got six arrows left!" Suddenly, a large Annihilate used its long, forked tongue to grab Barb! "Help me!" Bard cried, struggling to break free from its slimy grasp! "Barb!" Hawkeye called out he fired three arrows at the Annihilate, but to no avail. As Barb cried and weeped, fearing that her last moments would come, the clouds grew dark, and sound boisterous thunder could be heard, a blast of lightning struck down the Annihilate, freeing Barb! "What was that?!" Iron-Man questioned as the mighty Thor descended onto the battlefield! "Thanks for saving me mister!" Barb thanked Thor and hugged his leg. "Aye, tis all in thy days work!" Thor smiled. "Hey, can that hammer thing shoot lightning?" Iron-Man asked Thor. "You mean Mjlonir?" Thor explained, "Aye, for it doth strike upon my foes!" "Good, can you hit me up with some?" Iron-Man asked. "Art thou sure?" Thor raised an eyebrow. "Yes!" Iron-Man answered. "Alright!" Thor summoned a blast of lightning and launched it Iron-Man! Iron-Man checked the power in his suit, it was recharging! After about five more seconds of lightning, Iron-Man was back in action!" "Boo-ya!" Iron-Man exclaimed, "I'm charged and ready to take on anything!" "ANYTHING BUT ME!" A voice roared from the portal, as a green and purple bug-like creature with giant, green wings, clawed armor, blood-red eyes, and green robotic armor appeared from the portal. From the looks of things, this thing stood at twenty feet high. "What is that thing?" Iron-Man asked. "I AM ANNIHILUS, AND I HAVE COME TO DESTROY YOUR WORLD!" Annihilus declared as a larger army of Annihilates and Annihilites rushed through a portal!
Issue #3: Some Assembly Required (Part 3)Issue #3: Some Assembly Required (Part 3) "Crap!" Iron-Man exclaimed as Thor jumped at Annihilus. "KEEP YOUR DISTANCE, MORTAL!" Annihilus roared as he blasted Thor with a negative-energy beam, sending him backwards. "Thy enemy doth be hard to reach!" Thor inferred as summoned a lightning bolt and blasted it at Annihilus, along with Iron Man firing a missile. Annihilus roared as he summoned an Annihilate to take the blow, destroying it to save his life. "That's not good..." Iron-Man sighed as the Annihilates and the Annihilites charged at the small group, when the Quinjet arrived and blasted part of the army, using its Gatling Cannon! "Nice shot!" Hawkeye complimented as the Quinjet landed, as Captain America, Black Widow, Captain Marvel, Bruce Banner, and Twilight Sparkle exited the ship and looked around the battlefield. "Alright! Let's kick some tail!" Captain Marvel exclaimed as she flew into the sky and blasted an Annihilate with her cosmic energy rays, killing it. "Twilight! You're alright!" Barb cried as she ran up and hugged Twilight Sparkle, not noticing the Annihilite sneaking up on them! "Watch out!" Captain America alerted Twilight Sparkle and Barb as he tackled Annihilte, knocking it over with his shield as an Annihilte jumped on Captain America! "I've got this!" Iron-Man yelled as he blasted the Annihilte off of Captain America. "Thanks!" Captain America thanked Iron-Man. Suddenly, an Annihilate flew down from the sky and roared. "Iron-Man, let's combine our attacks!" Captain Marvel suggested as she charged up a cosmic energy blast, while Iron-Man prepared an Arc-Reactor Blast. As the Annihilate charged at the two, Captain Marvel and Iron-Man fired their blasts, obliterating the Annihilate! "You're actually stronger then I thought" Captain Marvel complimented Iron-Man. "The same goes for you" Iron-Man complimented Captain Marvel. "Annihilus!" Thor exclaimed as he summoned thunderbolts, "Prepare to face they lightnings wrath!" "NEVER!" Annihilus roared he burst from his armor. At his now normal height, he stood about eight-feet tall. Annihilus pulled out a weapon which had a hammer on one end and a spiked-blade on the other, and charged at Thor! "Stay back, foul creature!" Thor exclaimed as he swung Mjlonir at Annihilus, knocking him back. Annihilus roared as he jumped at Thor, as The Hulk jumped out and slammed into Annihilus! "WHO DARES?!?!" Annihilus growled at The Hulk. "HULK IS THE STRONGEST THEIR IS!!!!!" The Hulk roared as he began to punch Annihilus over his armored body, as Annihilus blasted The Hulk with a dark energy ray, throwing him off himself! Annihilus roared as he began charge a beam from his mouth, but The Hulk jumped as he pounded Annihilus into the ground, punching him! Back at the center battle, Hawkeye, Black Widow, and Twilight Sparkle were battling Annihilites. "Hey Natasha" Hawkeye casually said, "This remind me of Budapest" "You and I remember Budapest differently!" Black Widow laughed as he shot an Annihilite. Annihilus roared as he flew up from the sky, and launched a ray of dark energy at The Hulk. The Hulk roared as he clapped in pure anger, unleashing a super-sonic blast, breaking a part of Annihilus's armor, which allowed him to breath our oxygen, which didn't exist in the Negative Zone. "MY...ARMOR...CAN'T...BREATHE!" Annihilus chocked heavily as he opened up a portal back to the Negative Zone, "RETREAT!" As Annihilus gave out the command, his entire forces began to retreat back into the Negative Zone, they left behind a large pile of dead and heavily injured Annihilates and Annihilites bodies. "We did it!" Captain America cheered. "It's finally over..." Twilight Sparkle sighed to herself, as her face formed a smile. "Thank Asgard!" Thor exclaimed, "I began to grow tired of giant insects!" "Mission accomplished, I guess?" Captain Marvel asked, shrugging a bit.. "Wait...where' The Hulk?" Black Widow asked worriedly. As the group approached The Hulk, he was smashing apart a group of dying Annihilates, ripping them, tearing them apart in rage. "Hulk, we did it, you can stop now" Captain America tried to "NEVER!" The Hulk roared as he smacked Captain America into a broken car. The Hulk then jumped on the group, grabbed Iron-Man, and used him as a club to knock around Black Widow, Twilight Sparkle, and Hawkeye, and he threw Iron-Man down a ledge! But as The Hulk looked over Iron-Man, Thor jumped in and whacked The Hulk with Mjlonir, knocking him onto his back! "Rock giants crumble Mjlonirs wrath!" Thor declared looking at The Hulk, "But I fear that this brute will not fall so easily!" "HULK SMASH!" The Hulk roared as he punched Thor, knocking him over. "Hulk, stop!" Captain America yelled at The Hulk. The Hulk looked at Captain America with fury in is eyes, and began to charge Captain America! '"HULK SMASH!" The Hulk yelled, not noticing Black Widow as he jumped onto him and injected him with an Anti-Gamma tranquilizer serum serum, reverting him back to Bruce Banner. Iron-Man stumbled back up and saw the destruction. "Did we win?" Iron-Man asked. The next day, Iron-Man, Captain America, Thor, Captain Marvel, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Twilight Sparkle, and Barb approached Princess Luna. "We're sorry about the whole Hulk thing..." Iron-Man apologized. "It's alright, we have him under control in an underground facility" Princess Luna explained. "And what about the rest of us?" Hawkeye asked. "Well, after some consideration, I've decided to create a new team, operated by all of you" Princess Luna smiled, "And I've decided to call you...The Avengers!" "The Avengers...it doth have a nice sound to it!" Thor smiled. "That sounds cool to me!" Twilight Sparkle exclaimed happily, "Avengers, Assemble!" (To Be Continued)
Issue #4: The Twins (Part 1)Issue #4: The Twins (Part 1) Captain America drank his coffee, sitting with the Avengers team, which was made of Captain America, Iron-Man, Captain Marvel, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Twilight Sparkle, and Barb. If you're wonder where Thor is, he left back for Asgard, citing something going on there. "So...what do we do now?" Captain Marvel asked. "I wouldn't know..." Hawkeye sighed bored as Princess Luna entered with two S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents with files. "My Avengers, I have a new mission for you all" Princess Luna announced to the Avengers, "We've got reports of two super-powered beings in Sokovia, along with reports of Hydra returning" "Hydra returning? How?" Black Widow questioned. "We don't know..." Princess Luna answered. "Alright, Avengers Assemble!" Twilight Sparkle called out as the Avengers began to board a Quinjet, while Iron-Man and Captain Marvel flew besides the ship. "Sokovia, where's that?" Twilight Sparkle asked the group. "It's a country right next to Latveria" Captain America answered, "I've had some missions there during World War II" "My sources have told me that there used to be a Hydra base in the center of the country, so that they could control everything in the country" Black Widow informed the group. "Ah, Sokovia...skiing, ice-skating, snow-shoeing, drinking hot chocolate with dad..." Iron-Man reminisced, "Good times, good times..." "I did fly over Sokovia once, before I was Captain Marvel" Captain Marvel told the Avengers, "I was testing out a new stealth-bomber model" "So do we know anything about these two meta humans?" Twilight Sparkle questioned. "Well, we know that their names are Wanda and Pietro Maximoff" Barb answered, "Wanda Maximoff has chaos magic and probability, and Pietro Maximoff has super-speed" "My sources have told me that they were experimented on by Hydra, which gave them their powers" Black Widow informed the Avengers. "Well, they've been trying to make a super-solider ever since Abraham Erskine joined on our side" Captain America added. "Interesting..." Hawkeye smiled, "I think they'd make good Avengers members" As they landed near Sokovia, the Avengers landed and walked towards the abandoned Hydra base. "Barb, can you guard the Quinjet?" Captain America asked Barb. "Sure!" Barb cheerfully answered as she closed up the Quinjet. Black Widow went ahead and mapped out a path that strays away from Sokovia to not be seen. "I've never liked sneaking around..." Captain America stated as they tried to avoid being spotted, until they reached the abandoned base, which had started to be reclaimed by nature, as plants were being to grow all over it and birds began to nest inside of it. "This is totally not ominous..." Iron-Man sarcastically remarked as they sneaked around the abandoned base. Suddenly, a super-fast streak of light burst past the Avengers, knocking a few of them over! "What the heck was that?!" Hawkeye exclaimed as he pulled out his bow and arrow. "Get out of here!" A feminine voice called out as the streak of light slammed the rest of the Avengers down. "Who are you?" Black Widow asked as a teenage girl in a pink costume stood next to a man in a blue and white costume appeared. "My name is Wanda Maximoff, but you can call me the Scarlet Witch" Scarlet Witch introduced herself to the Avengers. "And my name is Pietro Maximoff, but you will call me Quicksilver" Quicksilver introduced himself to the Avengers, "Are you with Baron Zemo?!? "What's a Baron Zemo?" Twilight Sparkle asked confused. "Baron Zemo, he helped finance Tirek during World War II" Captain America informed Twilight Sparkle. "He's also the one responsible for the death of Bucky Barnes" Captain Marvel added "So are you with them?" Quicksilver questioned the Avengers as Scarlet Witch put a hand on her shoulder. "I've read their minds, and they are on our side" Scarlet Witch insisted, "They've come to stop Baron Zemo and Hydra" "Alright sister, we'll trust these costumed people...for now..." Quicksilver smiled. "So...where is Baron Zemo?" Captain Marvel asked Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver. "Baron Zemo and his paramilitary forces have taken the capitol building" Scarlet Witch informed the group. "Alright, then let's help the Sokovians take back Sokovia!" Twilight Sparkle told the group, "Avengers Assemble!" At the Sokovian Capitol, Baron Helmut Zemo was sitting on his throne of money when the alarms went off. "What the heck is that?" Baron Helmut Zemo exclaimed at his guards. "Sir, the Avengers have arrived" The Guard informed Baron Helmut Zemo. "Are my villains ready?" Baron Zemo asked as the fives villains that he hired walked through the door. The villains that Baron Zemo hired were Whirlwind, a villain who could create strong gusts of wind, The Melter, a villain who had a laser-acid ray shooter on his arm, Moonstone, a villainess who had flight and cosmic blasts, Radioactive Man, a villain made of radiation, and the Black Knight, a villain who wears black knight-armor and had a magic sword. "Sir, we art ready to fight!" The Black Knight exclaimed excitedly as he raised his sword. "Also, we found this little thing!" Moonstone smiled as she threw a tied-up Barb on the ground. "Excellent work, Moonstone" Baron Helmut Zemo congratulated Moonstone. "Hey, it was me who tired her up!" Whirlwind snarled at Moonstone. "Don't make me laugh!" Moonstone laughed as she knocked over Whirlwind. "Stop it! Your job is to stop the Avengers from reaching me, understood?!" Baron Helmut Zemo commanded the group, "Now go, my Masters of Evil! Destroy the Avengers!" (To Be Continued)
Issue #5: The Twins (Part 2)The Avengers approached Baron Zemo's room, a strong gust of wind began to blow, as the Masters of Evil walked through the door and faced the Avengers. "Masters of Evil, attack!" Baron Zemo commanded as they rushed towards the Avengers! "Avengers, assemble!" Twilight Sparkle assembled the Avengers, who also rushed towards the Masters of Evil, preparing for a battle! Captain America and Black Widow rushed towards The Black Knight, Iron-Man blasted Radioactive Man, Captain Marvel fired a cosmic ray at Moonstone, Scarlet Witch fired a chaos blast at The Melter, while Hawkeye and Twilight Sparkle chased the Whirlwind! "Cap, we need to separate the Black Knight from his sword!" Black Widow told Captain America. "Good idea, Natasaha!" Captain America complimented Black Widow as Captain America jumped up and threw his shield at the Black Knight's hand, dropping his Ebony Blade, losing the source of his power! "No! You doth my source of power!" Black Knight declared as Black Widow knocked him out! "Let's admit it, I'm the true cosmic gal!" Moonstone declared as she blasted Captain Marvel with star-bolts as Captain Marvel made a cosmic-energy shield. "No, well know it's me!" Captain Marvel smiled as she powered up her fists with cosmic energy, as Moonstone did the same. "No, I am !" Moonstone snarled as she slapped Captain Marvel. "How dare you!" Captain Marvel slapped Moonstone back. "It's so on!" Moonstone roared as Captain Marvel blasted Moonstone with a cosmic blast! "No, I am!" Captain Marvel smiled. Iron-Man blasted with his repulsor rays, Radioactive Man, which caused him to laugh. "Any form of radiation I am immune to!" Radioactive Man boasted, "So none of your attacks can hurt me!" "Sure, my repulsor rays are partly radioactive, but the rest of my weapons don't need radiation!" Iron-Man laughed as he blasted freezing missiles at Radioactive Man, freezing him in place! Twilight Sparkle attempted to restrain The Whirlwind with magical chains, while Hawkeye shot arrows at The Whirlwind. "Hawkeye, I need you to disable The Whirlwind for a minute!" Twilight Sparkle told Hawkeye. "Aye aye, Twilight!" Hawkeye smiled as he looked for the right spot to fire an electric-arrow, which would allow him to short-circuit The Whirlwind's armor. "Do you have a shot?" Twilight Sparkle impatiently asked, still trying to restrain The Whirlwind. "I got one!" Hawkeye declared as he fired the electric-arrow into The Whirlwinds weak spot, his lower chest, short circuiting his armor and knocking him out! Twilight Sparkle then bound Whirlwind with magical chains. "Nice shot, Hawkeye!" Twilight Sparkle hi-fived Hawkeye. Scarlet Witch looked at the Melter, with her quiet rage building up. Chaotic magic began to surround her hands, filling with dark energy. "Stop staring at me!" The Melter yelled as he blasted Scarlet Witch with a melting ray! Scarlet Witch smiled and made a shied made of chaos-energy, blocking the melting ray, stunning The Melter. "Would you like to try again?" Scarlet Witch asked quietly, still staring at The Melter. "You bet I-" "Too late!" Scarlet Witch exclaimed as she blasted The Melter with a full force of chaos-energy, knocking him out cold. "Beware the silent ones, indeed..." Scarlet Witch thought to herself as she smiled. Outside, Baron Zemo, carrying a struggling Barb, was running towards his meaning of escape, a single-seated plane. As Baron Zemo reached the plane, a speedy, silvery force knocked him over! "You didn't see that coming!" Quicksilver smiled as pulled Barb away from Baron Zemo's clutch. "Thanks for saving me, mister!" Barb lovingly hugged Quicksilver's leg. "No problem, little one" Quicksilver smiled, not noticing Baron Zemo sneaking behind him, raising his sword. "I've got you now!" Baron Zemo exclaimed as he prepared to attack Quicksilver, but suddenly, Ant-Man grew to human size and grabbed Baron Zemo's sword! "Yeah, not today!" Ant-Man smiled as he kicked Baron Zemo to the ground. As Baron Zemo jumped up to tackle Ant-Man, a blast of Bio-Electric Energy hit Baron Zemo, knocking him out! "Nice shot, Wasp!" Ant-Man complimented Wasp, aka Amber Locks, as she landed next to him. "Thanks!" Wasp smiled as she kissed Ant-Man on the cheek. "Who are you two?" Quicksilver asked Ant-Man and Wasp. "These two are friends" Iron-Man answered, "Meet the two new Avengers members, Ant-Man and Wasp" "Wow, two new Avengers in one day!" Captain Marvel noted. "Well...Quicksilver, do you want to make it two more?" Scarlet Witch asked Quicksilver. "Of course!" Quicksilver answered. "Then make that four in one day!" Black Widow stated. "Alright, let's head back to base, we've earned a nice rest" Captain America smiled. "Do you think we have enough room in the Quinjet?" Hawkeye asked. "Don't worry, we probably do" Black Widow reassured Hawkeye "Right. Avengers Assemble!" Twilight Sparkle cried out happily as they boarded the Quinjet. However, in another abandoned building, a new Masters of Evil, named Tiger Shark, Absorbing Man, Titania, Moonstone, The Whirlwind, and The Beetle met with a man named the Crimson Cowl. He wore he a red cape, and constantly covered his face from all. "I'll bet you all have questions for me..." The Crimson Cowl told the new Masters of Evil, "But I can assure you a quick defeat of the Avengers, my Masters of Evil" "And how can we trusts yous?" Absorbing Man questioned The Crimson Cowl. "Because you can trust my plans. Besides, it's only logical..." The Crimson Cowl told the Masters of Evil, revealing a silver, robotic arm... (To Be Continued)
Issue #6: Cyber-War (Part 1)Issue #6: Cyber-War (Part 1) Near the African nation of Wakanda, a small group of Avengers, which were Iron-Man, Barb, Captain Marvel, Quicksilver, and Scarlet Witch, were sent to investigate rumors of a new team of villains, which have been stealing large sums of Vibranium. "Hmm...why would a new team of villains form without Zemo?" Quicksilver wondered out loud to the group, "There's been no major criminal activity since Baron Zemo's been arrested" "I wouldn't know, but villains are the opportunistic type, they'll jump at any offer" Captain Marvel hypothesized, "Since we've become such a good team, villains have to team up to even match up against us" "They could also be here for the large sums of Vibranium" Iron-Man told the group, "A rare metal that's only available in Wakanda" "This is strange...I'm feeling many different life-forms approaching us..." Scarlet Witch sensed. "Hopefully it's just animals..." Barb thought out loud. "Yeah, I'm also picking up cosmic rays..." Iron-Man noted. "Cosmic rays...there's only one other being I can think of that can use cosmic rays..." Captain Marvel thought out loud as Moonstone blasted her in the back, knocking her out! "Avengers, attack!" Iron-Man called out as Absorbing Man, The Whirlwind, Titania, Tiger Shark, and The Beetle approached the Avengers. "I got this!" Quicksilver exclaimed as he began to run circles around Absorbing Man, making him fall over! He began to run towards Tiger Shark, but was punched in the stomach by Titania, stopping him! "I'm sure he didn't see that coming!" Titania laughed. Iron-Man then flew in and blasted a few tiny-missiles at her, each hitting their target, knocking Titania out of the fight! "Scarlet Witch, Barb, I need you two to get some help!" Iron-Man told Scarlet Witch and Barb. "But what about you?" Barb asked worriedly. "I'll handle these villains!" Iron-Man exclaimed as he blasted Tiger Shark with a repulsor ray! "Alright, were do we go?" Scarlet Witch asked as she blasted Moonstone with a blast of chaos-magic! "Just keep going straight and you'll find him!" Iron-Man explained as he was tackled by The Whirlwind! Scarlet Witch nodded, grabbed Barb, and began to make a mad-dash forwards. She jumped and dodged through thorn and bristle until reaching what appeared to be a village. "Who are you two?" A Villager asked Scarlet Witch and Barb. "Iron-Man told us to see a man, but we don't know his name" Barb explained to the villager. "It's me who you want to see" T'Challa, prince of Wakanda, approached the two. "Iron-Man, Quicksilver, and Captain Marvel have been captured by a group of villains" Scarlet Witch informed T'Challa. "Then it has begun..." T'Challa sighed as he approached a statue of a panther, opened a hand-scanner, scanned his hand, and a container popped up, revealing a black cat-like costume. "That suit looks really cool!" Barb smiled. "Thanks, the mantle of the Black Panther has been passed from generation to generation, and thus the costume has been to be more modern and sleek" T'Challa explained as he put the suit on, becoming the Black Panther! "Now, let's go rescue the Avengers!" Scarlet Witch told the group. "Avengers, Assemble!" Barb called out, "I've always wanted to say that!" In the middle of the forest, there lay an old, abandoned factory used to make weapons out of Vibranium. Iron-Man, Captain Marvel, and Quicksilver awoke to find them strapped to chairs with Vibranium bounds, and Iron-Man was without helmet. "Hello, my prisoners..." The Crimson Cowl greeted his prisoners. "Why are hiding behind a red cowl?" Quicksilver asked, "Are you too ugly to show your face? Or are you just a really big fan of Red Riding Hood?" "No, it's for better reasons..." The Crimson Cowl scoffed as he took of his cowl, revealing a silver, metallic robot with with deep-red optic sensors! "Ultron!" Iron-Man exclaimed. "In the flesh..." Ultron smiled devilishly. "How do you know who Ultron is?" Captain Marvel asked Iron-Man. "Because I made him..." Iron-Man sighed, "When I was young, my father wanted to keep me away from other kids, so I built an A.I. as a friend" "And that A.I. escaped his virtual prison and got himself a crew of villains and a pure-metal body!" Ultron laughed. However, inside Ultron's abandoned building, Scarlet Witch, Black Panther, and Barb were sneaking around the building. "I sense two lifeforms up ahead...both in stasis..." Scarlet Witch sensed as she opened a door, revealing two human-sized tubes, one had a man in a black and red suit, and a green, red, and yellow robot. "Alright, I think we need some allies..." Black Panther smiled as he used his Vibranium claws to slice upon the control panel, freeing the man and the robot. "Huh...where am I?" Simon Williams, the man, asked the trio. "What's your name?" Barb asked Simon Williams. "I'm Simon Williams, but people call me Wonder-Man!" Wonder-Man introduced himself. "Why do they call you that?" Scarlet Witch asked Wonder-Man. "Because I can do this!" Wonder-Man smiled as he charged ionic-energy in his fists and punched a large hole in a wall! "Good, we could use some more help" Barb smiled, "Will you join the Avengers?" "Sure" Wonder-Man grinned happily. "Good. Barb, can you program that android?" Scarlet Witch asked Barb. "Sure!" Barb smiled as he began to re-program the android, "I think I'll call him...The Vision!" "Alright, now let's go save our friends!" Scarlet Witch exclaimed as she, Black Panther, and Wonder-Man began to walk towards the prison room.

Issue #7: Cyber-War (Part 2)Issue #7: Cyber-War (Part 2) Scarlet Witch, Black Panther, and Wonder-Man were now sneaking around the abandoned building, almost at the Prisoner Room, which was reached rather easily. "Guys! You're back!" Iron-Man exclaimed. "Can you free us?" Quicksilver asked, "Also, who's the guy in the black suit and the guy in the black and red suit?" "These are the two new members of the Avengers, Black Panther and Wonder-Man" Scarlet Witch introduced the newest members of the Avengers. "I'll free these three, if anyone comes through, I need you two to handle them, understood?" Black Panther instructed Scarlet Witch and Wonder-Man. Suddenly, a dark-energy blast hit Black Panther, knocking him off his feet! "You thought that you could escape with ease, did you?" Ultron cackled as his hand smoked from the blast, "That is truly illogical!" "Take this!" Wonder-Man exclaimed as he clapped his hands, which blasted Ultron with a ionic-energy blast! But Ultron still stood after the blast! "Is that the best you can do?" Ultron laughed as he shrugged off the blast, as the new Masters of Evil walked in the room. "Now that's not that fair!" Wonder-Man yelled at Ultron as Tiger Shark jumped at Wonder-Man with sharp-teeth brimming, but Scarlet Witch blasted Tiger Shark with chaos-magic, knocking him out! "Do you think that we can take on these villains alone?" Scarlet Witch asked Wonder-Man worriedly. "Maybe?" Wonder-Man shrugged as both he and Scarlet Witch blasted Absorbing Man! "I'll crush you all!" Titania roared as she was blasted by solar-energy eye beams! "Who did that?" Scarlet Witch asked as Iron-Man, Quicksilver, Captain Marvel entered the room. "That would be me..." The red and green android told the group with Barb on his shoulder. "I did it!" Barb exclaimed happily, "I named him Vision" The Vision smiled as he put Barb on the ground. Vision then looked at The Beetle, The Whirlwind, and Moonstone, and smiled.. The Beetle flew at Vision, but Vision made his hand intangible, and then forced it thorough The Beetle's suit, destroying the electronics! The Whirlwind began to charge a windstorm, but Vision used his solar-energy eyes beams to melt the weak-point of The Whirlwinds armor, causing him to fall from the sky! "I won't fall so-" "You're mine!" Captain Marvel interrupted Moonstone as she blasted her with a cosmic-blast, knocking her out! "You shall all fall before me!" Ultron roared as he blasted Captain Marvel with a dark-energy beam! Iron-Man, Wonder-Man, and Scarlet Witch pooled their energy blasts together and a triple-powered beam at Ultron! "Did it work?" Iron-Man asked as the smoke cleared, trying to look for Ultron. "NEGATIVE!" Ultron screeched as he jumped out of the small crater! Quicksilver dashed with his might at Ultron, but Ultron punched Quicksilver in the chest, knocking the breath out of him! "Pietro!" Scarlet Witch exclaimed as she prepared a blast of chaos-magic, which Ultron negated by blasting her hands with eye beams! But as Ultron was unaware, the Black Panther jumped onto Ultron, and began to tear his circuitry out of his body! Ultron screamed in pain as he threw the Black Panther off of him! "I will not fall to a lower-life-" "Humans are not lower than you!" Vision called out as he made his arm intangible and shoved it through Ultron's body! Ultron turned his head and fired an eye-beam directly at Vision! "You have failed your objective" Ultron sneered at Vision. "I haven't failed..." Vision weakly smiled, "Your artificial head-spine, I have separated it! "Impossible! There is now way I can be-" "ULTRON!" Captain Marvel yelled as she punched Ultron's head off, and Black Panther crushed Ultron's head! "Is it over?" Scarlet Witch asked. "I think so..." Quicksilver sighed as he sat down, exhausted from the battle,. "Well...is everyone alright?" Iron-Man asked the group. "What about Vision?" Captain Marvel asked as she pointed to the wounded Vision. "I'm fine...I just require some fixing..." The Vision reassured the group as he tried to get up. "Save your strength, Vision..." Barb quietly told Vision. "Alright Avengers, let's go home" Captain Marvel told the group. As the Avengers team returned back to base, a strange light could be seen over The Helicarrier and San Franciscolt. "What the heck is that?" Wonder-Man asked. "I can't tell...it's cosmic in origin, but I can't identify it..." Captain Marvel sighed. "Anyways, Vision, would you like to join the Avengers?" Iron-Man asked Vision. "Is the Avengers a just cause?" Vision asked. "Yes, it is" Scarlet Witch smiled. "Then consider me a part of this team" Vision smiled. "Me too!" Wonder-Man added. "Then I shall join as well..." Black Panther quietly added. "Alright, when we get back, tonight we're going to party like there's no tomorrow!" Iron-Man declared. "Some R and R time would be nice..." Quicksilver smiled as he thought of massages, back rubs, and a nice hot-tub. When the Quinjet returned to the Helicarrier, something didn't feel right... "I sense great pain in some of the people and ponies here..." Scarlet Witch sensed, feeling the auras of the people and ponies in the Helicarrier. "I can also feel it too..." Vision added, scanning the area. As the Avengers walked in, what they saw shocked them! Instead of a pony named Princess Luna, there was a human standing there! Along with many of the ponies on the Helicarrier, half of them were now human! Two of them were Princess Candace and Shining Armor. "What the heck happened?!" Quicksilver asked confused. "It's a long story..." a now human Princess Luna sighed, looking at her body. She had quite a nice figure, and her blue hair looked beautiful. (To Be Continued)
Issue #8 - Inhuman FactorIssue #8 - Inhuman Factor (Part 1) "Alright, we're at the scene" Captain America told his group, which consisted of Ant-Man, Wasp, Hawkeye, Black Widow, and Twilight Sparkle. The scene was at a beach that had been the site of some kind of battle, with trees and bushes scattered around. "I can sense a life-force coming from around here" Twilight Sparkle noted as she began to track the energy around the area. "Twilight's right, something just feels wrong" Wasp added as shrank down to look for clues. "Yeah, I'm picking up the ants pheromones and they can also sense something strange" Ant-Man also added as he controlled some ants to find clues as well. Black Widow and Hawkeye began to look through the bushes, and noticed a teenage girl with orange hair, blue eyes, and a yellow and black suit, crying under a bush, and was a bit injured. "Hey, are you alright?" Hawkeye asked the girl. "Maximus...he's going to..." The girl shivered in fear, "He hates ponies and humans..." "What's your name?" Black Widow asked the girl. "My name... I'm Crystal..." Crystal introduced herself, "I need you to help me" "And why is that?" Twilight Sparkled asked as they noticed a man in a brown suit with goat-like legs and a woman with long, red hair approaching them. "State your names!" Captain America ordered the two. "Gorgon answers to no human or pony!" Gorgon, the man with the goat-like legs roared as he stomped his feet on the ground, making a small earthquake, which caused the Avengers to stumble! "Avengers, Assemble!" Twilight Sparkle declared! "Wasp, Twilight Sparkle and I will take the goat guy!" Captain America organized their roles, "Ant-Man, Hawkeye, Black Widow, you two take down the living bad hair day!" Wasp shrunk down and flew around Gorgon, blasting him with little bits of bio-electric energy, though they didn't faze him, but Twilight Sparkle's blasts of magic were harmful, and Captain America threw his shield at Gorgon! Ant-Man shrunk down, jumped onto a flying-ant and began to fly around the woman with long, red hair. "You cannot stop the invincible hair of Medusa!" Medusa boasted as she tangled Ant-Man in her moving hair! "Lady, have you ever heard of a haircut!?" Ant-Man asked Medusa. "Jokes won't get you anywhere!" Medusa laughed as Hawkeye fired arrows at her and Black Widow began shooting at her, to which she flicked the bullets away and grabbed the arrow with her hair! "Take it from me, never grab arrows!" Hawkeye scolded Medusa as the arrow exploded! "Medusa!" Gorgon yelled in shock as punched Captain America and slammed Twilight Sparkle! "Gorgon...we must retrieve Crystal..." Medusa told Gorgon tiredly. "Right!" Gorgon nodded as he ran towards Crystal, but Captain America threw his shield at Gorgon, knocking him over! "You cannot interfere in Inhuman matters!" Gorgon declared. "What's an Inhuman?" Ant-Man asked as a ship locked all the combatants into a tractor beam and took them onto the ship! "Where the heck are we?" Black Widow asked as a pink, gas began to fill the room, knocking everyone out, save for Crystal, Medusa, and Gorgon. "Crystal, why were you on Earth?" Medusa questioned Crystal, "You might have revealed where we live!" "I've been warning all of you, Maximus the Mad is going to destroy Earth!" Crystal told the two. "If Maximus is going to pull off that kind of stunt, we'll find out" Gorgon told Crystal, as the ship traveled to a domed-city on the moon! When the Avengers woke, they were chained up and being presented to a man in a black suit with a tuning fork on his forehead. "Welcome to Attilan, home of the Inhumans" Triton, a fishman-like Inhuman told the Avengers. "Black Bolt asks why you attacked us" Medusa communicated for Black Bolt. "Why do you talk for him?" Twilight Sparkle asked. "If Black Bolt were to talk, then the results would be catastrophic!" Karnac explained. "See, I told you that the humans and ponies would come to destroy us!" Maximus the Mad told Black Bolt. "No, the ponies and humans were only worried!" Crystal interjected. "We should in-act Project Dorvan!" Maximus the Mad suggested to Black Bolt. "Inhumans, if that is what you are called, we'll leave you alone" Twilight Sparkle told Black Bolt. "Yeah, unless you call us, we won't visit you!" Ant-Man added. "Liars!" Maximus the Mad roared. Black Bolt's head-tuning-fork began to glow as he relayed a message to Medusa. "Black Bolt has spoken! Under the rules that you never come back, you are free to go" Medusa declared. "NO!" Maximus the Mad screeched as he ran towards a room. "Stop him before he activates Project Dorvan!" Crystal exclaimed as a blast of light beamed coming from Attlian struck the Earth! "What happened to the Earth?!" Black Widow asked furiously. "You're too late!" Maximus the Mad laughed, "Over ninny-percent of all ponies on Earth are now humans!" "No...you've been trying to push ponies into extinction!" Medusa exclaimed. "And I will succeed in my cause when I-" "STOP!" Black Bolt yelled as he unleashed the power of a nuclear bomb, sending Maximus the Mad flying backwards! "I don't know what to tell you..." Medusa sighed sadly. "Don't be upset, it's not your fault" Hawkeye reassured Medusa. "We need to head back to Earth to try and fix this" Captain America sighed as they went to the ship. (To Be Continued)
