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)
