IG-88 And The Avengers

IG-88 And The Avengers is the twenty seventh installment of the IG-88 / Marvel Trilogy and the sixth installment of the IG-88 / Marvel Cinematic Universe to be made by BeastBoyRules52 XD. It is also the end of phase one of both the IG-88 / Marvel Trilogy and the IG-88 / Marvel Cinematic Universe. It is scheduled to be released on Dailymotion in the future.

## PLOT

The Asgardian Loki and The Horde Of Darkness encounter Chthon, the leader of an extraterrestrial race known as the Chitauri. In exchange for retrieving the Tesseract, a powerful energy source of unknown potential, Chthon promises Loki and The Horde Of Darkness an army with which he can subjugate Earth. Nick Fury, director of the espionage agency S.H.I.E.L.D., and his lieutenant Agent Maria Hill arrive at a remote research facility during an evacuation, where physicist Dr. Erik Selvig is leading a research team experimenting on the Tesseract. Agent Phil Coulson explains that the object has begun radiating an unusual form of energy. The Tesseract suddenly activates and opens a wormhole, allowing Loki and The Horde Of Darkness to reach Earth. Loki and The Horde Of Darkness take the Tesseract and uses his scepter to enslave Selvig and several agents, including Clint Barton, to aid him in his getaway.

In response to the attack, Fury reactivates the "Avengers Initiative". Agent Natasha Romanoff is sent to Calcutta to recruit Dr. Bruce Banner to trace the Tesseract through its gamma radiation emissions. Coulson visits Tony Stark to have him review Selvig's research, and Fury approaches Steve Rogers and The 88 Squad with an assignment to retrieve the Tesseract. In Stuttgart, Barton steals iridium needed to stabilize the Tesseract's power while Loki and The TGWTG Squad cause distraction, leading to a confrontation with Rogers, Stark, Romanoff, and The 88 Squad that ends with Loki and The TGWTG Squad's surrender. While Loki and The TGWTG Squad are being escorted to S.H.I.E.L.D., Thor, his adoptive brother, arrives and frees him, hoping to convince him to abandon his plan and return to Asgard. After a confrontation with Stark, Rogers, Goku (whom The 88 Squad reunite with as they haven't seen him since the events of IG-88's Adventures Of Star Wars Rebels), and The 88 Squad, Thor agrees to take Loki to S.H.I.E.L.D.'s flying aircraft carrier, the Helicarrier, but The TGWTG Squad escapes to let The Horde Of Darkness know the bad news. There Loki is imprisoned while scientists Banner and Stark as well as The 88 Squad and Goku attempt to locate the Tesseract.

The Avengers become divided, both over how to approach Loki and the revelation that S.H.I.E.L.D. plans to harness the Tesseract to develop weapons as a deterrent against hostile extraterrestrials. As the group argues, Barrton and Loki's other possessed agents, as well as The Horde Of Darkness themselves, attack the Helicarrier, disabling its engines in flight and causing Banner to transform into the Hulk. Stark and Rogers try to restart the damaged engine, and Thor attempts to stop the Hulk's rampage, while The 88 Squad and Goku fight The Horde Of Darkness throughout the helicarrier. Romanoff fights Barton, who knocks him unconscious, breaking Loki's mind control. Loki escapes after killing Coulson and ejecting Thor from the airship, while the Hulk falls to the ground after attacking a S.H.I.E.L.D. fighter jet. The Horde Of Darkness escape with Loki after a long battle between them and Goku & The 88 Squad. Fury, Goku, and The 88 Squad use Coulson's death to motivate the Avengers into working as a team. Stark and Rogers realize that for Loki, simply defeating them will not be enough; he needs to overpower them publicly to validate himself as ruler of Earth.

Loki and The Horde Of Darkness use the Tesseract, in conjunction with a device Selvig built, to open a wormhole above Stark Tower to the Chitauri fleet in space, launching his invasion. The Chitauri soon bow themselves in allegiance to the Horde Of Darkness, and several Marvel villains from previous IG-88's Adventures films come back from the dead and join them, who band together to wreak mayhem in New York for the cause of world domination. IG-88 and Goku go to warn Vegeta and the other Z Fighters (who are in the middle of celebrating Bulma's birthday party in an area with a view of NYC) of the situation, and they join the 2 after witnessing the start of the invasion.

The Avengers, Goku, Vegeta, The Z Fighters, and The 88 Squad rally in defense of New York City, the wormhole's location, but quickly realize they will be overwhelmed as wave after wave of Chitauri and Horde Of Darkness descend upon Earth. Banner arrives and transforms into the Hulk, and together he, Rogers, Stark, Thor, Barton, Romanoff, The 88 Squad, The 82 Squad, Goku, Vegeta, The Z Fighters, all the Marvel heroes The 88 Squad met in the previous IG-88 / Marvel films, and several other heroes battle the Horde Of Darkness / Chitauri alliance while evacuating civilians. The Hulk finds Loki and beats him into submission while IG-72 and Lego Jango Fett are hiding to avoid being seen by Hulk. Romanoff makes her way to the wormhole generator, where Selvig, having been broken free of Loki's mind control, reveals that Loki's scepter can be used to shut down the generator.

Meanwhile, Fury's superiors attempt to end the invasion by launching a nuclear missile at Manhattan. Stark intercepts the missile and takes it through the wormhole toward the Chitauri. The missile detonates, destroying the Chitauri mothership and disabling their forces on Earth. This causes The Horde Of Darkness led by AVGN to escape after once again getting defeated by the heroes. The Horde Of Darkness led by Nostalgia Critic & The TGWTG Squad attempt to escape too, but they are attacked, defeated, and captured by Goku, Vegeta, and The Z Fighters. Stark's suit runs out of power, and he falls back through the wormhole just as Romanoff closes it. Stark goes into freefall, but the Hulk saves him from crashing to the ground. IG-72 & Lego Jango Fett, both hiding in Stark Tower alongside Loki, attempt to escape The Z Fighter females, but The 88 Squad and The Avengers prevent the 3 villains from escaping as well, allowing The Z Fighter females to attack IG-72, Lego Jango Fett, and Loki. In the aftermath, The heroes are praised by the public and Thor returns Loki and the Tesseract to Asgard bringing the captured IG-72 & Lego Jango Fett with him as well, and The Horde Of Darkness led by The Nostalgia Critic & The TGWTG Squad, meanwhile, are taken into custody in a secure SHIELD prison. The 88 Squad, who are celebrating their victory and Bulma's birthday alongside Goku, Vegeta, The Z Fighters, and the other heroes, and Fury express confidence that the Avengers will return if and when they and The 88 Squad are needed.

In a mid-credits scene, Chthon and The Horde Of Darkness confer with The Undertaker and Chthon's master, revealed to be Thanos the Mad Titan, about the failed attack on Earth and humanity's strength. Back at the SHIELD prison, The Horde Of Darkness escape thanks to Angry Joe finding out that he had the cell key in his pocket the whole time; in a post-credits scene, the Avengers and The 88 Squad eat in silence at a shawarma restaurant.
