AN: Fast-paced battle.

  ---

  The dreadnought loomed over New York, its immense size and shadow engulfing the city. It was Nebu's failsafe pn. If she were to die or be captured, the army would attack, which would force the heroes to defend and show their power. And that live footage would be sent back to Thanos' mai. Now, with Nebu's impnts gohe failsafe program activated as the AI fgged her dead.

  And some might wonder why Aron didn't know about the attack. He could have stopped. Well, it was as the name says failsafe pn. It was locked into her cyberics impnts as locked data. Aron could read mind, yes, but he 't read a mae's mind. With Nebu regaining her anic body, even she might not remember certain things that were in her brain impnts.

  From its hull, massive hatches opened, releasing streams of Chitauri soldiers and sleek, humanoid robots into the streets below. The sound of alien engines roared, mixing with the screams of panicked civilians fleeing in every dire.

  Energy bsts tore through buildings, sending gss and debris raining onto the streets. Cars overturned, and fires ignited, creating a se of utter chaos. The Chitauri moved with coordinated precision, their vehicles firiless barrages at anything in their path. Above, swarms of drones buzzed like metallic s, cutting through the air and targeting strategic points.

  Tony Stark was the first to engage, s into the fray in his armor. Repulsor beams lit up the sky as he destroyed drones mid-flight, but the sheer number of enemies was overwhelming. "JARVIS, prioritize civilian areas and guide emergency services!"

  "Uood, sir," JARVIS replied, marking evacuation zones on Tony's HUD.

  Steve Rogers jumped from the Qui as it maneuvered through the chaos, his shield already in hand. Landing on a rooftop, he quickly assessed the situation before radioing his team. "t, take the high ground and cover the civilians! Bruce, we he big guy front aer—those tanks won't stop themselves!"

  "I'm on it!" t replied, sg a damaged fire escape to position himself on a vantage point. His arrows whistled through the air, striking down Chitauri soldiers and disabling their vehicles. Below him, Steve led a group of first respoo clear civilians from a colpsing building, defleg stray bsts with his shield.

  The Hulk roared as he smashed through a blockade of Chitauri tanks, flipping one like it weighed nothing. His massive fists crushed robots in a single blow, sending their parts flying. Despite his brute force, the enemies kept ing, their numbers seemingly endless.

  In the chaos, portals of crag energy began to open across the city, depositing even more troops into the battlefield. From one such portal emerged a t Chitauri ander, its armleaming and onry far more advahan its soldiers. It unleashed a devastating energy wave, scattering cars and f the Averoup.

  Tony called out over s, "We've got a big one here, Cap. Suggestions?"

  "Hit it hard and fast," Steve replied, vaulting over debris to join him. "But don't let it distract you—our priority is the civilians."

  Meanwhile, on the ground, the X-Men had arrived. Jean Grey, Kitty Pryde, and Jubilee were coordinating evacuations, while Storm took to the skies. She summoned a tempest, bolts of lightning striking drones and soldiers.

  "Jean, there are still people trapped in that subway station!" Kitty shouted, phasing through walls to lead civilians to safety. Jeaended her telekinesis, lifting a k of rubble that blocked the statiorance. "Get them out, Kitty—I'll hold this!" she yelled as she smashed a group of aliens with her telekinesis onto the ground.

  Ghost-Spider swung through the city, her webs taking out robots and Chitauri soldiers alike. She saw Ironman fighting the ander. "Mr. Stark! Leave that alien to me. There are school buses trapped back at the square."

  "Be careful of his energy bsts. I'll be ba a jiffy," Ironman flew away toward the square.

  Ghost-Spider dodged a barrage of energy bsts before ung herself at the ander. She remembered what Aron told her back then, to not hold back when dealing with enemies or more people will get hurt. So, this time she decided not to hold back her power. "Here goes nothing." She rushed in, swinging and dodging everything thanks to her spider-sehe alien tried to knock her off with an energy bst, but she was too fast.

  Using the light posts as a sling, she threw herself at the alien with all her might. She ched her right fist and puhe ander right in the face. The punch was so powerful that the alien's helmet shattered and her fist smashed his face, hard, and then... SPLATTER!!

  The alien ander's head exploded like a watermelon that had been kicked by a horse! Brain matter, bone fragments, and bluish blood spttered everywhere.

  The other Chitauri rushed into a frenzy, rushing thost-Spider, but...

  "Have no fear when Jubilee is here!" Jubilee said as she jumped to the front and threw a shower of firecracker-like explosions that engulfed the ining enemies in an explosion of light and sound. The Chitauri soldiers screamed ao the ground, stunned by the noise and light.

  "Wow, that's awesome! Thanks," Ghost-Spider swung away from the alien troops.

  "No prob. Let's take care of these ugly guys first," Jubilee replied as she tihrowing explosive balls at the ining enemies.

  Ba the streets, the Hulk smashed through Chitauri vehicles, creating a path for civilians to escape.

  Psylocke soon arrived at the se and she began to chop the enemies with ease. The Human Tord The Thing also arrived at the se, destroying the aliens.

  "Keep that fire in trol, don't just blindly burn down the building," The Thing yelled at Johnny as he picked up a car and threw it on an oning group of aliens.

  "Says the thing who just destroyed a Lambo. I'll take care of that giant ship," Johnny flew toward the dreadnaught, followed by Ironman.

  At S.H.I.E.L.D.'s underground base, Aron, Natasha, and Fury observed the chaos through live feeds. Fury ched his fists as he barked orders into his s. "All agents, focus on evacuation efforts! tain the damage as best you !"

  Natasha, watg the battle unfold, turo Aron. "This is bad. They're outnumbered."

  Aron touched Natasha and Fury's shoulders, transferring his mutation to them. He gave Fury, super speed and Natasha, Kiiipution. Just like what he did with Natasha back at Bakuto's hideout, he used his telepathy to impnt the memories of how to superspeed in Fury's mind. And siasha had prior experience she should be familiar with that power.

  He then teleported them in the middle of the battlefield.

  "Alright, no question. Fury, evacuate the trapped civilians, and Natasha..." Aron looked at the dreadnaught where Ironman and Johnny were attag. But their attack was iive due to the shield around the ship. "Yonna blow that thing up to smithereens."

  "Well, it's been a while since I have stepped onto the battlefield. I'll see you two ter," Fury dashed at super speed and began evacuating people.

  "I am going to need massive energy build-up if I were to take it down," Natasha said as she saw Ironman and Johnny's futile efforts t down the dreadnaught. "You have a pn?"

  He smirked. "Of course. It's called improvisation."

  Arohat he couldn't just reveal his trump card or the stone because Thanos might be looking at this se. So, he decided to go with the obvious pn. He grabbed Natasha and teleported before the main on system of the dreadnaught.

  "YOU INSANE?!" Natasha yelled.

  "You asked for a massive amount of energy. Here is a massive amount of energy."

  The alien on charged, preparing to unleash its deadly firepower oy. Aron used his telepathy and asked Ironman and Johnny to clear out the sky.

  The on's energy core hummed with a menag glow, its charge building rapidly. Natasha's eyes narrowed as she assessed the situation, her kiiipution already beginning to siphon stray energy from the dreadnought's charging on.

  "This better work, Aron," Natasha muttered as she trated, her hands glowing faintly with the energy absorption.

  The dreadnought's on reached critical charge, and the air around it crackled with raw power. Natasha took a deep breath, fog on her kiiipution.

  [Booom!] The bst struck them hard with raw energy...

  With a yell, Natasha extended her hands and began to absorb the on's energy. The sheer force of it caused her to stagger, but Aro her stable, her body glowing with an intense, fiery light.

  "Natasha, focus! You're doing great!" Aron shouted as he absorbed the energy into his body.

  The bst sted for nearly a minute and they absorbed every st drop of energy. When the on finally powered down, its core was nothing but a charred husk, its outer shell smoking and cracked from the massive strain.

  Natasha g Aron, her eyes bzing with barely tained power. "Ready for the big finale?"

  Aron smirked, "Always."

  Both of them puhe giant dreadnaught with all of their might! A shockwave spread outwards from the impact, shattering the reinforced shield and knog back Chitauri soldiers. The dreadnaught shuddered from the force of the blow, its hull crag uhe pressure. The ground forces flew up toward them, sh them with bsts.

  Well, it was more like feeding them with energy.

  "Hahaha... These mindless morons," Aron ughed as he threw another punch.

  Natasha also joined him in ughter, "They are making my job easier!"

  Ironman and Human Torch could only look at the sight in awe. "Holy shit! They're destroying the alien ship like it's nothing!" Johnny excimed.

  "I guess we're no longer needed here," Ironman flew away from the se.

  With awo puhe giant ship exploded. Aron teleported them back to the ground and the back up. If that giant thing falls over the city, the damage would be devastating. So, the best thing he could think of was to cover his body with Phoenix Ford open a giant portal uhe falling ship. The portal was ected to the outer space.

  Then, using his telekinesis, he forced the ship into the portal as fast as possible from a safe distahe giant ship disappeared into the portal. He quickly closed the portal before telep back beside Natasha.

  "Hufff! Dang! That was exhausting," He panted.

  "No kidding." She was also panting.

  The remaining aliens began to fall like flies. The chip or whatever was impnted into their brain got shut down because the main ship was destroyed.

  The battle ended...
