Stark Tower.
"Let's begin the battle plan." Tony Stark picked up the remote and brought the holographic display to life.
"I've already surrounded the Vanke Technology Building with a perimeter strike force. Once the reactor inside starts amplifying the Tesseract's energy, my Iron Legion will unleash a full-scale bombardment — no mercy, no hesitation…"
"I have a question," Captain America interrupted.
"Go ahead," Tony said, pointing at him.
"Why let them open the portal at all? Why fight a massive war when we can prevent it? We know where they are — why not carry out a small, surgical strike instead?"Everyone in the room understood what the Captain meant. He didn't want the battlefield to expand — too many lives were already at stake.
"I've fought Loki before. And his brother, Thor." Tony gestured toward Thor, who raised his hands in mock innocence, indicating this wasn't his problem.
"The world is changing too fast," Tony continued. "Aliens exist. They're coming to invade. This isn't a local conflict anymore — it's an interplanetary one. I don't know what you think, but I—" He pointed at himself, "—I'm Tony Stark. A man who adapts fast, who forces others to adapt even if they don't want to."
He paused, eyes sharp and resolute."We have to fight this war — and we have to win it beautifully. We need to make Earth's voice heard in this universe. Let the aliens know — humanity isn't weak, we're not victims, and we're not easy to push around. If they insist on invading our planet, then we only have one response."
Tony's gaze swept across everyone in the room. His voice was firm, his tone filled with conviction. Everyone felt the fire in his words — except Thor, who looked slightly awkward.
Satisfied with the reaction, Tony continued, voice powerful and cold,"Make them feel pain. Make them taste defeat. Make them fear death itself."
"Avengers…"
"We must win!"
Everyone nodded silently, their eyes burning with determination. They understood — this fight wasn't just to protect Earth. It was to show the courage and strength of humankind.
Captain America stepped forward and placed a firm hand on Tony's shoulder — a gesture of support and solidarity. The others followed suit, pledging their trust and unity.
"Alright," Tony said, "let's begin."
The Avengers quickly assembled and deployed according to plan.
"JARVIS, activate Lieutenant Mode. You'll command the Iron Legion."
"Lieutenant Mode activated."
"Yes, General. The Iron Legion is online and awaiting orders."
"Proceed as planned."
"Understood, General."
Meanwhile, Nathan Hawke was issuing his own orders.
"Electro, Andre — your mission is simple: eliminate every alien you encounter. Leave no survivors."
"John Walker — you'll protect Hawke Group headquarters and secure the surrounding districts."
John Walker nodded seriously.
"As for Ryouma Sengoku and Cruz, stay at Umbrella. You know your tasks — I don't need to repeat them."
As for Wesker, Nathan gave no orders — his duty was already clear: protect the base and Umbrella Corporation itself.
Nathan, on the other hand, was calmly sipping red wine in his office, waiting for results.
"Where's the Invisible Man?" Andre asked, glancing around, even using telepathy to search — but the man was gone.
"I've assigned him a special mission," Nathan replied.
The White House.
At that moment, the Invisible Man stood silently in the President's office, transmitting everything he saw to Umbrella's central monitors.
"I still can't believe aliens actually exist," the President muttered, disbelief on his face.
The Chief of Staff lifted a sheet of A4 paper. "According to orders from Congress and Nick Fury, they're clearing the surrounding areas to ensure total security. Two generals are already on their way."
He handed the document to the President.
"The military logistics division and our personnel have begun post-battle preparations. Once the fighting ends, our troops will deploy immediately to stabilize the area."
The President nodded approvingly. "Good. Also, contact the media. Make sure they report that the great America is invincible. And emphasize my wise leadership." He chuckled slightly. "As for that idiot politician who suggested nuking the city if we can't win — tell him to stay as far away from me as possible."
Once the Chief of Staff left, the President turned toward a corner of the room.
A shimmer appeared — the Invisible Man revealed himself.
"Mr. President," he said with a smile, extending his hand, "a pleasure to work with you."
The President shook his hand firmly. "The pleasure's mine. Your T-Virus serum has made me stronger — and safer than ever."
"If you'd like, Mr. President, we can even design you your own personal battle armor."
"Hah! Now that," the President laughed, "sounds perfect."
It was a mutually beneficial deal — both sides were pleased.
Boom!
A brilliant beam of light shot skyward from the Vanke Technology Building.
Blinding radiance spread across the city — and as it faded, a massive portal opened above the tower. From it, an army of Chitauri soldiers poured out — clad in silver armor, wielding energy rifles, their eyes cold and pitiless.
"They're here…"
No one knew whose voice came through the comms, but the Avengers instantly understood the gravity of the moment. Their faces turned grim. Captain America gritted his teeth and raised his shield.
The Chitauri infantry surged forward — their exoskeleton armor gleaming, their movements mechanical and precise. Linked through a neural hive-mind, they quickly formed a devastating attack formation.
Iron Man, Black Widow, and Hulk braced themselves.
The Chitauri opened fire — energy blasts cutting through the air. Tony activated his armor's energy shields, absorbing the impact, then counterattacked. His wrist-mounted lasers sliced through the enemies, shattering their bodies into pieces.
Black Widow darted between explosions, moving with lethal agility. Twin batons flashed as she struck down one Chitauri after another, weaving through gunfire and launching precise counterattacks.
Hulk, roaring with fury, was unstoppable — tearing through enemies with his bare hands, smashing armor and bodies alike. The Chitauri's weapons barely scratched him.
But their numbers were overwhelming. Despite their ferocity, the trio struggled to hold the line under relentless assault.
"There are too many of them! Where's Nathan Hawke's team?" Black Widow shouted.
"They'll come," Tony replied, voice steady as he calculated his next move, firing targeted blasts to thin the enemy ranks. The battlefield erupted in chaos — explosions, light beams, and screams filling the night.
At the top of the Vanke Building, Loki stood beside the Chitauri commander, overlooking the chaos below.
"The time has come for Earth to kneel before our power," Loki murmured.
The commander sneered. "Yes — this is our victory. The humans will become our slaves, trembling beneath our feet."
Loki's gaze drifted toward the distance — where Thor was fighting valiantly. A flicker of complex emotion crossed his eyes.
"This world surprises me," Loki admitted softly. "These so-called heroes — they dare to resist us with nothing but mortal strength. How amusing… and pathetic."
The commander scoffed. "They're insects. Their struggle means nothing — it's futile."
Loki's expression hardened. "Are you sure they pose no threat? Their unity and determination… they make me uneasy." Deep down, the mention of Thor stirred something uncertain within him.
The commander smirked. "Do not worry. Our army is vast. They will be crushed completely."
Loki quickly composed himself, his lips curling into a sinister smile. "Good. Soon, I'll be the ruler of this world — and I will revel in their fear and worship."
Below them, elite Chitauri units lined up in formation, preparing to charge. Flying chariots circled overhead, and the monstrous Leviathans roared, shaking the skies. The army radiated pure menace and power.
Loki took a deep breath and declared,"Now — let it begin. Let the Earth witness our strength and conquest."
The Chitauri commander nodded coldly."The Chitauri will grant them one chance — to surrender before they see what true power looks like."
