Chapter 2: A Day Other Than All

**[MckDuck Mansion, Duckburg]**

*[Kion, , proceeds down the main steps of the Mansion with Askari.]*

**Kion:**  Seriously? You don't have any money?

**Askari(first leader):** Attachment to the material is detachment from the spiritual.

**Kion:** I'll tell the guys at the deli. Maybe they'll make you a metaphysical ham on rye.

Askari**:** Oh, wait, wait, wait, I think I have 200.

**Kion:** Dollars?

**Askari:** Polish zloty.

**Kion:** Which is?

**Askari:** Uh, buck and a half.

Kion**:** What do you want?

**Askari:** I wouldn't say no to a tuna melt.

*[Elena crash-lands through the Mansion stairs. ]*

**Elena:** Lunaris is coming. He's coming...

**Brietta's father:** *[Sharing a look with Kion and Askari, and now fully in his mage attire]* Who?

**[Title Screen: *The Lion Guard : Battle For Earth]***

Kenai (bear)**:** Slow down, slow down. I'm totally not kidding.

**Nita (she-bear):** *[Laughing slightly and talking over him]* You're totally rambling.

Kenai (bear)**:** *[Also talking over her]* No, I'm not.

**Nita (she-bear):** Lost me.

Kenai (bear)**:** Look, you know how you're having a dream, and in the dream you gotta pee?

**Nita (she-bear):** Yeah.

**Kenai (bear):** Okay, and then you're like, 'Oh my god, there's no grass, what am I gonna do?', 'Oh! Someone's watching,' ''m gonna go in my fur.'

Nita**:** Right. And then you wake up, and in real life you actually have to pee.

**Kenai (bear)**: Yes.

**Nita:** Yeah. Everybody has that.

Kenai(bear)**:** Right! That's the point I'm trying to make. Apropos of that, last night, I dreamt, we had a kid. So real. We named him after my friend. Uh, what was his name?

**Nita:** *[Nodding in understanding]* Right.

**Kenai (bear):** Tug! Tug.

Nita**:** So you woke up, and thought that we were...

**Kenai (bear):** Expecting.

**Nita:** Yeah.

**Kenai (bear):** *[Becoming excited]* Yes?

**Nita:** *[Shaking her head]* No.

**Kenai (bear):** I had a dream about it. It was so real.

**Nita:** If you wanted to have a kid, you wouldn't have done that.

*[they hug]*

**Kenai (bear):** I'm glad you brought this up, 'cause it's nothing. It's just a housing unit for nano particles.

**Nita:** It's not helping your case, OK?

**Kenai (bear):** No, no, it's an attachment, it's not a-

**Nita:** *[Insistently]* You don't need that.

**Kenai (bear):** I know. I had the surgery. I'm just trying to protect us. The future uses, and that's it. Just in case there's a monster in the closet, instead of, you know...

Nita: Shirts?

**Kenai (bear):** You know me so well. You finish all my sentences.

**Nita:** You should have shirts in your closet.

**Kenai (bear):** Yeah. You know what there should be? No more surprises. We're gonna have a nice dinner tonight. Show off this Harry Win-stone. Right? And we should have no more surprises. Ever. I should promise you.

Nita**:** Yes.

**Kenai (bear):** I will. *[ Kenai kisses Nita]*

*[Doctor Strange comes through a portal.]*

**Stephen Strange:** Kenai the bear, I'm Doctor Stephen Strange. I need you to come with me. Oh, uh, congratulations on the wedding, by the way.

*[Kenai and Nita are understandably shocked.]*

**Kenai (bear):** I'm sorry, you giving out tickets or something?

**Stephen Strange:**We need your help. Look, it's not overselling to say that the fate of the our planet is at stake.

**Kenai (bear):** And who's "we"?

**Elena:** *[Emerges from behind Doctor Strange]* Hey, Kenai.

**Kenai (bear):** *[Looking surprised]* Elena.

**Elena:**Nita.

**Nita:** Hi.

**Kenai (bear):** You okay?

*[Elena gives Kenai a desperate hug, not answering. After everything he has been through, we understand.]*

*[Back at the McukDuck Mansion.]*

**Wong:** *[Using magic to show the universe and five out of six Infinity Stones.]* From the dawn of the universe, there was nothing. Then, boom! The Big Bang sent six elemental crystals, hurtling across the virgin universe. These Infinity Stones each control an essential aspect of existence.

**Stephen Strange:** *[Each Stone lights up as Dr. Strange names them.]* Space. Reality. Power. Soul. Mind. And Time.

*[Dr. Strange opens the Eye of Agamotto, revealing the Time Stone emitting emerald light.]*

**Tony Stark:** *[Very attentive]* Tell me his name again.

**Elena:** Lunaris. He's a plague, Tony. He invades planets.

**Tony Stark:** *[Speaking to himself]* This is it... What's our timeline?

**Elena:** *.* If he gets his hands, on all six Stones, Tony...

**Stephen Strange:** He can destroy life on Earth on a scale hitherto undreamt of.

**Tony Stark:** *[Leans against a cauldron, stretching like he's about to go for a run.]* Did you *seriously* just say "hitherto undreamt of"?

**Stephen Strange:** Are you *seriously* leaning on the Cauldron of the Cosmos?

**Tony Stark:** Is that what this is.... ?

*[The Cloak of Levitation smacks Tony's arm, surprising him.]*

**Tony Stark:** *[Looking offended]* *[Straightening himself]* I'm going to allow that. If Lunaris needs all six to make Earth satelite of Moon, why don't we just stick this one down the garbage disposal?

**Stephen Strange:** No can do.

**Wong:** We swore an oath to protect the Time Stone. With our lives.

**Elena:** And I swore off dairy, but then, Ben & Jerry's named a flavor after me, so....

**Stephen Strange:** Elena's Blueberry*.*

**Elena:** It's not bad.

**Stephen Strange:** A bit *chalky*.

**Wong:** *A* oh my Brietta is our favorite.

**Brietta:** That's a thing?

**Elena:** Whatever. Point is: things change.

**Stephen Strange:** Our oath to protect the Time Stone cannot change. This Stone may be the best chance we have against Lunaris.

**Tony Stark:** And still conversely, it may also be his best chance against us.

**Stephen Strange:** Well, if we don't do our jobs.

**Elena:** *[Slightly condescending]* What is your job exactly, besides making balloon animals?

**Stephen Strange:** *[Completely calm]* Protecting your reality, Big Cat.

*[You seriously can't tell who's sarcasm is better.]*

**Brietta:** Okay, guys, could we table this discussion right now? The fact is that we have this Stone. We know *where it is*. Vision is out there somewhere with the Mind Stone, and we have to find him *now*.

**Tony Stark:** *[Awkwardly]* Yeah, that's the... thing.

**Elena:** What do you mean?

**Tony Stark:** Two weeks ago, Vision turned off his transponder. He's offline.

**Elena:** What? Tony, you lost another super bot?

**Tony Stark:** I didn't lose him. He's more than that. He's evolving.

**Stephen Strange:** Who could find Vision, then?

**Tony Stark:** *[Quietly to himself]* God. *[To the other men in a normal tone]* Probably Steve Rogers.

**Stephen Strange:** *[Sighing in exasperation*] Oh, great.

**Tony Stark:** Maybe. But... *[Sighs]*

**Elena:** *[ not renember events of the Lion Guard -Avalor' Civil War]* Call him.

**Tony Stark:** It's not that easy. God, we haven't caught up in a spell, have we?

**Elena:** No.

**Tony Stark:** The Avengers broke up. We're toast.

**Elena:** *[Rather surprised and slightly let-down]* Broke up? Like a band? Like The Beatles?

**Tony Stark:** Cap and I fell out hard. We're not on speaking terms.

**Elena:** *[Almost pleading]* Tony, listen to me. Thor's gone. Lunaris is coming. It doesn't matter who you're talking to or not.

*[Tony hesitates, before pulling out the cellular phone Steve mailed him, muttering 'flip phone'. It seems as though he brings it everywhere, always ready to call his lost friend. Before clicking "Call", he pauses, distracted by an unusual rumbling.]*

**Elena:** Say, Twilight, you wouldn't happen to be moving your hair, would you?

**Twilight Sparkle:** *[Looking up at his forelock fluttering]* Not at the moment, no.

*[Elena looks at the Her-made opening through the ceiling and sees debris flying by outside. she exits the Sanctum through the front door and scans the chaotic surroundings, the camera shaking around in this following long take to illustrate the chaos -- people running and screaming in alarm, traffic becoming impossibly tangled, a litter-filled wind like a nor'easter's. A woman falls nearly at his feet and she helps her up.]*

**Elena:** You okay?

*[The woman ignores her and runs away. A car crashes in on a pole behind Elena]*

**Elena:** Help him! Kion, Askari.

**Kion:** Go! Got it!

**Elena:** *[Putting on her sunglasses]* F.R.I.D.A.Y., what am I looking at?

**F.R.I.D.A.Y.:** Not sure, I'm working on it.

**Elena:** Hey! You might wanna put that Time Stone in your back pocket, Doc!

**Stephen Strange:** *[Bands of spells are readied around his forearms]* Might wanna use it.

*[A mechanical hum grows louder as Elena approaches the intersection. As she turns the corner, she sees a huge rocket ship floating over Main Street.]*

*[On a school bus, the hairs on Peter Parker's arms stand up. He looks out the window and sees the ship.]*

**Peter Parker:** *[Tapping his best friend in the seat in front of him]* Ned, hey. I need you to cause a distraction.

**Ned Leeds:** *[Turns around and sees the spaceship]* Holy shrimp! We're all gonna die! There's a spaceship!

*[Students scramble to the windows in the back to see the spaceship.]*

*[Peter quickly slides on one of his Stark-made webshooters, and webs the emergency exit lever on the opposite side of the bus.]*

**School Bus Driver, Stan Lee:** What's the matter with you kids? You've never seen a spaceship before?

*[Peter jumps out the window, clinging to the side of the bus and pulling on his mask before leaping over the side of the bridge, shooting a web-line and swinging free. He makes his way hastily towards the ship.]*

**Tony Stark:** F.R.I.D.A.Y., evac anyone south of 43rd Street, notify first responders.

**F.R.I.D.A.Y.:** Will do.

*[Doctor Strange throws the Winds of Watoomb over Bleeker Street, and winks at Tony. The dust clears. Tony is begrudgingly amused for a split second.]*

*[Then Ebony Maw and Cull Obsidian exit the ship by transmat.]*

**Alien from Moon:** Hear me, and rejoice. You are about to die at the hands of the Children of Moon. Be thankful, that your meaningless lives are now contributing to...

**Elena:** I'm sorry, Earth is closed today. You better pack it up and get outta here.

**Alein:** *[Looks at Brietta]* Stonekeeper... *[Gestures to Elena]* Does this chattering animal speak for you?

**Brietta:** Certainly not. I speak for myself. *[Magical shields are readied with her tiara.]* But you’re trespassing in this city and on this planet. *[Aksari and Kion ready to fight.]*

**Elena:** It means get lost, Squidward!

**Alien 1:** she exhausts me.

**Big Moon Alien:** *[Two untranslated syllables]*

**Alien 1:** Bring me the Stone.

**Big Moon Alien:** *[Three untranslated syllables]* *[He drops his huge alien hammer and drags it along as he obeys his brethren.]*

**Elena:** Kenai, you want a piece?

**Kenai:** No, not really, but when do I ever get what I want?

**Elena:** That's right.

*[Kenai trying make roar of bear.]*

**Elena:** Been a while. Good to have you, buddy.

**Kenai:** I just... I need to concentrate here for one second. Come on, come on, man.

**Elena**: Where's your wild bear from 2006?

**Kenai:** I don't know. We've sort been havin' a thing.

**Elena:** There's no time for a thing.

Kenai**:** I know.

**Elena:** *[Points at the approaching Big Moon Alien]* That's the thing right there. Let's go.

*[Kenai still trying roar. Doctor Strange stares at Tony and Bruce in disbelief.]*

**Elena:** *[Glances at Mateo's Gandfather and Twilight Sparkle]* Dude, you're embarrassing me in front of the wizards.

**Kenai:** Elena, I'm sorry. *[Stammers]* Either I can't or he won't--

**Elena:** It's okay. Hey, stand down. *[to Wong]* Keep an eye on him. Thank you.

**Wong:** I have him.

**Kenai: why this not work?**

*[As Big Moon Alien approaches the team, Elena dons her nanotech Iron Man suit in the space of three steps. He grows a shield on one arm to protect herself, then grows a set of blasters that easily throw the Big Moon Alein back to Comandor, who gestures and deflects his massive companion into some cars.]*

**Kenai:** Where'd that come from?

**Elena:** It's nano-tech. You like it? A little someth--

**Stephen Strange:** Dr. Baljeet, if the rest of your green friend won't be joining us....

*[Doctor Strange teleports Baljeet to a nearby park along with half a taxi. Elena returns and joins the fight, pushing a car thrown by Alien back at him. Alien cuts it in half and lets the pieces fly past him, untouched.]*

**Elena:** Gotta get that stone outta here, now.

**Stephen Strange:** It stays with me.

**Elena:** Exactly. Bye.

*[Elena flies through Aleins obstacle course but is cut short by Big Moon Alien's hammer, sending him through a building and into the park at high speed, plowing into the ground and fetching up against a tree.]*

*On a school bus, the hairs on Peter Parker's arms stand up. He looks out the window and sees the ship.]*

**Peter Parker:** *[Tapping his best friend in the seat in front of him]* Ned, hey. I need you to cause a distraction.

**Ned Leeds:** *[Turns around and sees the spaceship]* Holy shrimp! We're all gonna die! There's a spaceship!

*[Students scramble to the windows in the back to see the spaceship.]*

*[Peter quickly slides on one of his Stark-made webshooters, and webs the emergency exit lever on the opposite side of the bus.]*

**School Bus Driver, Stan Lee:** What's the matter with you kids? You've never seen a spaceship before?

Baljeet**:** *[Rushing over to Elena]* Elena, you okay? How we doing? Good? Bad?

**Elena:** Really, really good. Really good. Do you plan on helping out?

**Baljeet:** I'm trying. He won't come out.

*[*Big Moon Alien *arrives at the park and throws his hammer at Kenai, Baljeet and Elena.]*

**Elena:** Hammer. *[Pushes Brietta out of the way.]*

*[Elena's energy beam deflects off* Big Moon Alien*'s shield, slicing down trees. Baljeet barely evades one.]*

**Baljeet:** *[Crawling out from under the branches. Desperate and confused]* Come on, Hulk. What are you doing to me? *[Starts slapping himself multiple times]* Come out! Come out! Come out!

**Hulk:** *[Half of Baljeet's face becomes the Hulk.]* Nooooooo! *[Bruce falls back exhausted into his tree.]*

**Baljeet:** What do you mean, *"no"?!*

*[Elena is knocked down by* Big Moon Alien*, who is about to deliver a decisive blow, but the alien's hammer is easily caught by Spider-Man.]*

**Peter Parker:** Hey, man. What's up, Queen?

**Elena:** Kid, where'd you come from?

**Peter Parker:** Field trip to MoMA.

*[Big Moon Alien grabs Spider-Man and throws him away.]*

**Peter Parker:** What is this guy's problem, Queen?

**Elena:** He's from space. He came here to steal a necklace from a wizard.

*[Wong and Doctor Strange fight Moon Alien. Alien lifts several bricks from the ground and turns them into sharp points. He sends them towards Wong and Doctor Strange. The two make portals and boomerang them back towards Alien. Alien moves a car to protect himself, but one spike still hits his head, creating a cut. Angered, Alien uses a broken fire hydrant's water stream to knock Wong back several meters, rendering him unconscious.]*

*[Doctor Strange snaps a whip of magical energy to bind Alien's hands and yanks, but Alien flies forward with the pull and pins Doctor Strange upside-down against a building, using the bricks to trap the Sorcerer Supreme.]*

**Alien 1:** Your powers are quaint. You must be popular with children.

*[Maw tries to grab the amulet holding the Time Stone but jerks back when it burns his hand.]*

**Stephen Strange:** It's a simple spell but quite unbreakable.

**Alien:** *[Vehemently]* Then I'll take it off your corpse.

*[Maw pulls Doctor Strange away from the building and throws him to the ground. Doctor Strange starts the gestures to use the Eye of Agamotto, but utility cables first pin Doctor Strange's arms, interrupting the spell and closing the Eye, while another cable winds around his torso, then tightens around his throat.]*

**Stephen Strange:** You'll find... removing a dead man's spell... troublesome.

**Alien 1:** You'll only wish you were dead. *[Doctor Strange falls unconscious and to the ground; Alien raises a portion of street pavement to use as a carrier, but the Cloak of Levitation works its master loose of the cable spiral and flies Doctor Strange away.]* NO!

**Elena:** *[Still fighting Big Moon Alien, as Doctor Strange passes through the park.]* Kid, that's the wizard. Get on it.

**Tornado:** On it!

*[Elena's teenage daughter chases Ebony Maw, floating speedily and upright on a small platform of burbling debris leaving a deep rut in the streets, who in turn chases the Cloak-driven Doctor Strange through Manhattan; Alien attacks her, throwing a Rocket Mortgage billboard at Tornado to be rid of her.]*

**Tornao:** *[Untangles himself]* Not cool!

*[Alien bends all the utility poles in the path of the fleeing Cloak, finally snagging the loyal garment and ripping it loose of its master. Tornado scoops up Doctor Strange before he hits the pavement, but before he can get away with the unconscious Doctor Strange, a cone of blue light starts pulling the mage inexorably upwards. Tornado grabs a light pole to anchor herself, but Alien uproots it, sending Doctor Strange, Cloak and teenager on their way to his ship.]*

**Tornado:** Uhhh, Mom? I'm being beamed up!

**Elena:** Hang on, kid. *[Big Moon Alien's hammer doubles as a claw, pinning Elena to the ground and shorting her suit. As Big Moon Alien jumps towards Elena, blades ready to end this fight, he is sent through a portal instead. The alien turns and leaps to return the same way, but Wong closes it rapidly -- only Obsidian's severed hand makes it back to the park. Bruce kicks the hand away with a noise of disgust.]*

Elena**:** *[Elena shakes herself free of the Alien's weapon, now powerless.]* Wong, you're invited to my daughter birthday. *[Elena begins to fly towards the large ship]* Give me a little juice, F.R.I.D.A.Y. *[Elena's foot thrusters morph together into a single larger jet and increase his speed considerably.]*

(Elena destroy ship and two Jaquins and Dr.Strange back to ground)

Tornado:they fled

Elena:they could back ,my daughter

Brietta: where can we hide?

Elena: its time to back to home and talk with King Kion and Queen Jasiri

*Cut to rural Pridelands, as King Kion and Luna the Jaquin walk together, accompanied by two Kingsguard. Screen title: PRIDELANDS.]*

**Luna:** You'll have the Kingsguard, and the Dora Milaje have been alerted.

**Kion:** And the Border Tribe?

**Luna:** Those that are left.

**Kion:** Send word to the Jabari as well. M'Baku likes a good fight.

Luna**:** And what of this one?

**Kion:** This one may be tired of war. *[James "Bucky" Buchanan Barnes is seen at a small distance throwing a bag from a pile on the ground onto a partly-filled cart, while two village children watch]* But the White Wolf has rested long enough.

*[The party reaches Bucky. A Kingsguards-man sets an elaborate and high-tech-looking equipment case down on the cart, opens the lid, and steps back. As the Winter Soldier approaches, he sees a new Vibranium arm in the case.]*

**Bucky Barnes:** *[With resignation]* Where's the fight?

**Kion:** On its way.

*[Cut to the Quinjet where Sam is piloting Rhodey, Steve, Natasha, Wanda, and Vision.]*

**Elena:** *[Walking up to the pilot's seat]* Drop to 2600, heading 0-3-0.

**Sam Wilson:** I hope you're right about this, Queen. Or we're gonna land a lot faster than you want to.

*[The Quinjet passes through a camouflage force field into Pridelands's Golden City's valley and lands at the airfield outside the palace. King Kion and the Dora Milaje approach to greet the arrivals]*

**Okoye:** *[Walking with King Kion and a band of the Kingsguard to the landing pad]* When you said we were going to open Pridelands to the rest of the world... this is not what I imagined.

**Kion:** And what did you imagine?

**Okoye:** The Olympics. Maybe even a Starbucks.

*[The occupants of the Quinjet disembark, Elena, Kenai,Brietta,Isabella,Steve and Natasha leading, followed by Bruce and Rhodey, with Vision and Wanda slowly taking up the rear.]*

**Kenai:** *[To Isabella]* Should we bow?

**Isabella:** *[Seriously]* Yeah, he's a king.

**Elena:** Seems like I'm always thanking you for something. *[Shaking paws with King Kion.]*

*[Kenai bows awkwardly to King Kion.]*

**Isabella:** *[Mock shocked]* What are you doing?

**Kion:** Uh, we don't do that here. *[He dissuades Kenai with a motion of his paw; Kenai shoots Isabella a look, and is answered with a big grin]* So how big of an assault can we expect?

*[The group begins to walk back into the administrative building.]*

**Bruce Banner:** Uh, sir, I think you can expect quite a big assault.

**Natasha Romanoff:** How we looking?

**King** **Kion:** You will have my Kingsguard, the Border Tribe, the Dora Milaje, and...

**Bucky Barnes:** *[Smiling as he walks toward Steve, passing some Kingsguard taking Vision and Wanda to another facility]* A semi-stable, 100-year-old man.

*[The two friends share a hug.]*

**Elena:** How you been, Buck?

**Bucky Barnes:** Uh, not bad, for the end of the world.

Elena: we already know that these aliens are not friendly

since they saw me fight, they'll find me here

Simba: so what now?

Hiccups: peace time is over, get ready for war

Elena: oh my, and from the stable war with Slash where I saved Princess Belee.

Elena: this time we can't risk it

Isabella: Tony was killed last time, but we got him back, we can't lose him again

Vitani: not the rest

Tony Strak: does anyone even remember how I carried the nuke into space? saved the city an army of aliens from another dimension invaded us, the portal was just above us

we are the Avengers, we can catch criminals from morning to evening but it is something up (pointing finger up) this is our end, how are you going to prevent it?

Isabella: together

Tony: we're gonna die

Isabella: it's better than dying by yourself

**Mantis:** Excuse me, but... does your friend often *do* that?

*[Dr. Strange is sitting cross-legged, floating slightly above the ground, his hands poised in a mystic gesture with the Time Stone glowing brightly in the Eye of Agamotto setting. Green vapor-like energy flows from the stone, and more intricate magical energy patterns circle Dr. Strange's forearms. The Cloak of Levitation flows behind him as if the Stone is creating a strong breeze. His eyes are closed, and his head is jerking rapidly from side to side, the motion blurring, but resembling looking for something.]*

**Elena:** Strange! We alright?

*[Dr. Strange snaps out of his trance and falls forward, letting out a cry.]*

**Elena:** You're back. You're alright.

**Kopa:** Hey, what was that?

**Stephen Strange:** *[Panting]* I went forward in time to view alternate futures. To see all the possible outcomes of the coming conflict.

**Humphrey:** How many did you see?

**Stephen Strange:**19,000,605.

**Elena:** How many did we win?

*[Dr. Strange stares intently at Elena for a moment.]*

**Stephen Strange:** *[Pause]* One.

**Luna:** *[Her kimoyo beads chime an alarm; she flicks one bead into her palm, where it projects the globe with a pulsing location marker]* Something's entered the atmosphere.

*[Outside, Sam Zosia, Isabellaand Bucky look up at the sky]*

**Sam Wilson:** *[Over the Avengers' comm]* Hey, Cap, we got a situation here.

*[The defense shield over the Golden City destroys one of the alien vessels when it slams into the field at full attack acceleration.]*

**Zosia:** God, I love this place.

**James Rhodes:** *[also outside, and now in full War Machine armor watching three more ships burn through the sky]* Yeah, don't start celebrating yet, guys. We got more incoming outside the dome.

*[The shock waves and debris from the ship landings destroy acres of forest and boil up against the dome. The lab has an excellent view of the landing sites. Elena and King Kion look at each other in concern over the scope of what they'll be facing.]*

**Vision:** *[Struggling to sit up and slide off the exam table]* It's too late. We need to destroy the stone now.

**Natasha Romanoff:** *[Moving toward Vision]* Vision, get yourself back on the table.

**Kion:** We will hold them off. *[He, Luna and the guards head for the door.]*

**Steve Rogers:** *[To Wanda]* Wanda, as soon as the stone's out of his head... you will destroy this

**Wanda Maximoff:** I will.

**Kion:** Evacuate the city. Engage all defense procedures. *[He stops, turns, and points at Steve]* And get this man a shield.

[*Cut to the Pridelands battlefield on Mbali Fields. Carriers hover over the ground with Wakandan soldiers and Pridelanders and dinosaurs and Natasha, Steve and Bucky on board; Rhodey and Sam keep pace overhead, and Katie is in the Hulkbuster armor.]*

**Elena:** How we looking, Katie?

**Katie:** *[Leaping jogging along, keeping up with the carriers, and utterly delighted]* Yeah, I think I'm getting the hang of it. Wow! It's like being the Hulk without actually-- *[she stumbles on a rock, and a carrier goes by, from which Okoye gives him a dubious look. she stands]* I'm okay. I'm okay.

**James Rhodes:** I got two heat signatures breaking through the tree line.

*[The heat signatures are two aliens.]*

*[The carrier pilots swerve into U-turns, causing their craft to tilt and allowing the practiced soldiers to slide over one side into a run, never coming to a complete halt. A Dora Milaje shouts a command nearby as the last Wakandans join ranks.]*

**Jabari Warriors:** MIE EFFA! (Win them!) YA HU! MIE EFFA! YA HU! MIE EFFA! YA HU! MIE EFFA! YA HU! MIE EFFA! YA HU! *[M'Baku, Lord of the Jabari, rallies his soldiers with a war chant. He stops as King Kion nears him.]*

**Kion:** *[Clasps wrists with M'Baku]* Thank you for standing with us.

**M'Baku:** *[Translated from Xhosa]* Of course, brother.

*[The Black Panther, Captain America, and Black Widow and Kion Kion and Elena & Isabellawalk to the edge of the barrier, where Proxima Midnight and Cull Obsidian stand. Proxima tests the strength of the barrier by drawing her sword across it consideringly.]*

**Isabella:** Where's your other friend?

**Female Moonlander:** You will pay for his life with yours. Lunaris will have that planet.

**Hiccup:** That's not gonna happen.

**Kion:** You are in Pridelands now. Lunaris will have nothing but dust and blood.

**Female Moonlander:** We... have blood to spare. *[She brandishes her sword with a snarl, and the ships behind her start raising their outer hulls to allow their "passengers" to disembark.]*

*[The three heroes return to the massed forces.]*

**Bucky Barnes:** *[A touch sardonically]* Did they surrender?

**Hiccup:** Not exactly.

*[Elena leads the Wakandans and Prdielanders in the war cry "Yibambe!" telling them to hold fast as the Outriders bound toward the barrier; Moonlander drops her sword arm down in the signal to attack.]*

**Bucky Barnes:** *[Flatly, astonished at the numbers of Outriders]* What is happening

**Elena:** Looks like we sent her off.

**Okoye:** *[Horrified, as the Outriders bombard the force-field, squeezing limbs and bodies partly through only to be bisected.]* They're *killing* themselves.

*[As a few Outriders managed to squeeze through intact, the Border Tribe take a knee and raise their shields. The Kingsguard behind them level their sonic spears over their comrades' shoulders, and on Black Panther's command, fire at the approaching monsters. The Winter Soldier uses his M-249 machine gun, and Katie fires the Hulkbuster's hand repulsors.]*

**Brietta:** *[she flying into the fight as he flies, swooping to fire at them with his Steyr pistols]* You seen the teeth on those things?

**James Rhodes:** Alright, back up, Peg. You're gonna get your wings singed. *[He flies over the heaviest concentration of Outriders and drops a barrage of mines, all exploding fantastically.]*

*[Everyone notices a pack of Outriders starting to run around the force-field to the right of the defenders' position.]*

**Brietta:** Cap, if these things circle the perimeter and get in behind us... there's nothing between them and Vision.

**Steve Rogers:** *[Grimly]* Them we better keep 'em in front of us.

**Okoye:** *[To the Kion]* How do we do that?

**Kion:** We open the barrier. *[Putting his comm to his mouth]* On my signal, open North-West Section Seventeen.

**Dome Control:** *[Nervous and unsure]* Requesting confirmation, my King. You said open the barrier?

**Kion:** On my signal.

**Zito:** *[To Jasiri]* This will be the end of Pridelands.

**Jasiri:** Then it will be the noblest ending in history.

*[Captain America readies one of his Vibranium hand guards. Kion shouts a command in Xhosa; the Border Tribesmen disengage their shields and Elena walks out in front of them, never taking his eyes off the enemy.]*

**Elena: we fight for whats right** ! Pridelanders unite! *[she crosses her arms in the Wakandan salute and closes his Iron Jauin helmet, charging for the barrier. The heroes and leaders are at the fore of the charge. Halfway to the barrier, the Black Panther shouts into his comm]* Now!

*[The Outriders pour through, distracted from trying to find any other access. The Black Panther and Captain America pull ahead rapidly due to their enhancements, and literally leap into battle.]*

**Kion:** *[Over his comm]* How much longer, Kiara?

**Kiara:** We've barely begun, brother. *[A delicate and intricate construction of gold light hovers at her eye level; as she manipulates it, the waldo tools reproduce her commands on the Mind Stone itself.]*

**Kion:** You might want to pick up the pace.

*[The remaining Avengers and Pridelanders are struggling against the Outriders. The Winter Soldier goes down, and fights off Outrider fangs snapping at his head. Kenai and Elena still fight side-by-side. War Machine hovers over the breach, pouring ammunition into the flood of bodies until a huge hammer -- Big Moon Alien's -- knocks him out of the sky and to the ground. The Hulkbuster is dogpiled and pinned.]*

**Isabellar:** There’s too many of them! GYAH! AAAAHHHHH!

*[Suddenly, a large beam of rainbow-hued light lands in the middle of the action, and an ax flies out of it, wreathed with lightning and tearing through the Outriders, freeing the heroes. It flies back to the light and into its master's hand just as the beam cuts out, revealing Thor, Groot and Rocket [The Avengers theme swelling triumphantly at their arrival] who chambers a round in his large gun. Black Widow, Elena, Simba and other Pridelanders and Captain America and the Black Panther pause in astonishment. Alienspause in apprehension.]*

**Isabella:** AH-hahaha! You guys are so screwed now!

**Thor:**  *BRING ME LUNARIS!* *[He charges toward the hordes of Outriders, followed by Groot and Rocket, lightning gathering around him until he finally launches himself into the air, lands in the densest concentration of Outriders and makes a crater where they had stood.]*
