//------------------------------// // Issue #5: The Twins (Part 2) // Story: Equestrian Avengers // by Blondlionezel //------------------------------// 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)
