//------------------------------// // Chapter 4 - Raging War // Story: Incursions // by Blondlionezel //------------------------------// "HULK SMASH!" The Hulk roared as he smashed a group of Chitauri Ground Troops into the ground, killing them instantly. Thor swung his hammer and threw it at another group of Chitauri Ground Troops, knocking them over like bowling pins. Rainbow Dash tried to knock down as many Chitauri as possible. "Rainbow Dash, get out of here!" Captain Marvel ordered Rainbow Dash. "No way!" Rainbow Dash responded, as she charged at more Chitauri. However, one pulled out an energy rifle, shooting Rainbow Dash down! "NO!" Captain Marvel rushed to the mortally wounded Rainbow Dash. She turned her over pulled her away from the battlefield and into a small building. "Captain...Marvel..." Rainbow Dash coughed weakly, "Go...win...for...us..." "I shall" Captain Marvel teared up as she broke through the building. Captain Marvel was looking straight at a portal, and saw a Chitauri Leviathan. She roared in fury as she blasted her cosmic energy blasts through the portal, destroying the Chitauri reinforcements. "Aye! We do require backup!" Thor commanded, "There hath been too many reinforcements on thy enemy's side!" "I'm trying!" Rarity whined as a dead Chitauri Leviathan crashed onto her. Back at Princess Celestia's palace, Captain America and Iron Man began to prepare for battle. The soldiers began to grab swords and shields, along with war chariots. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna also began to put on armor. "Alright, my little ponies, today we charge into battle!" Princess Celestia rallied her troops. "Ho-Hah!" The soldiers pumped themselves as they charged through the gates to Ponyville. "Spidey, Purple pony, you two need to find a solution!" Iron-Man instructed Spider-Man and Twilight Sparkle, as he flew out, along with Captain America riding a solider. "Peter, we need to find those Infinity Gems!" Twilight Sparkle told Spider-Man, as they began a trek around Equestria. Back at Ponyville, the battle was raging on! Thor, Hulk, and Captain Marvel were ripping through the Chitauri hordes, but they were slowly destroying the town, killing any civilian they could find. "Pinkie! Applejack! Where are you?!" Fluttershy shouted in fear, as a Chitauri sneaked up from behind Fluttershy, and shot her! "NOOOO!" Captain Marvel cried as she blasted the Chitauri into oblivion. "We're losing too many people!" Mayor Mare cried as she hid underneath a desk. Suddenly, a black portal opened in the office, unleashing some Chitauri troops along with Proxima Midnight, with a new dark-matter sword. "Are you here to help?" Mayor Mare cowered from under the desk. "Sure..." Proxima Midnight smiled, as she blasted Mayor Mare and the desk! Captain Marvel began to sweat, starting to tire from the battle, she fell from the sky and into the arms of Iron-Man. Iron-Man smiled as she carried her to the ground. "Everyone's getting tired out too quickly..." Captain Marvel wiped the sweat from her face, "We need reinforcements..." "Well, you've got them!" Iron-Man pointed to the wave of soldiers being lead by Princess Luna and Captain America. "YOU SHALL PAY!" Princess Luna roared as she blasted the Chitauri army into oblivion, though more did come through the portal. Suddenly, a black portal opened, letting loose Corvus Glaive. He charged into the Equestrian Army, and began to destroy soldiers, ripping his way to Princess Luna. Princess Luna blasted Corvus Glaive with her moon blasts, blowing some of armor off, but not killing him. "Foolish horse!" Corvus Glaive roared, "You can't kill me unless you destroy my blade!" "That was foolish!" Princess Luna laughed as Captain America threw his shield at Corvus Glaive's blade, shattering it. "Oh crap..." Corvus Glaive sighed as Princess Luna blasted Corvus Glaive, this time destroying him. "Luna, look out!" Captain America cried out as Princess Luna was slewed by Proxima Midnight. "HULK SMASH!" The Hulk roared as he and Thor began to battle Proxima Midnight. The both took enough swings at Proxima Midnight, she was defeated. "Well...it seems me lackies have failed..." Thanos smiled as he appeared onto the battlefield. "Thanos! Now we're going to finish this!" Captain America cried out as his forces jumped at Thanos. "NOW YOU DIE!" Thanos roared as he punched Captain America into the ground! The Hulk jumped at Thanos, who kicked him in the chest, crushing his heart. Thor threw his hammer at Thanos, knocking him over. "Aye! For I have defeated this threat!" Thor gloated, when suddenly Thanos threw a giant rock at Thor, crushing him. "Victory is mine!" Thanos roared victoriously. "No..." Princess Celestia appeared before Thanos, "I'll stop you, even if I have to destroy myself! Princess Celestia began to glow with a bright light, as her body began to disappear, along with Thanos himself. Thanos tried to grab Princess Celestia, but was unable to even touch her. After thirty seconds, both combatants began to appear, ending the battle. At the Castle, Twilight Sparkle gasped in pain. She sensed Princess Celestia's sacrifice, and Princess Luna's death. Twilight Sparkle began to weep many tears as Peter Parker hugged her. "I'm sorry Twilight, I understand how you-" "How could you understand?!" Twilight Sparkle cried in anger. "My uncle..." Peter Parker tried to hold back tears, "He died because I was irresponsible..." Twiight Sparkle's heart sank. She didn't know that his uncle died, and it was his fault. She wondered how it felt to be almost responsible for your parental figures death? It must be terrible. "Oh...I'm sorry..." Twilight Sparkle sighed sadly. "It's alright...we'll find a way to save everyone, somehow..." Peter Parker hugged Twilight Sparkle hopefully.
