ike it was made out wet clay.

She rolled to the side to avoid another soldier stabbing down with one of those spear/sniper rifles they carried. She lifted her left gauntlet up and a mini-shotgun popped up and explosive rounds blasted a basket ball hole straight through it. Oops! Its spine was in two parts. #Sorrynotsorry. She picked up the rifle and whirled around to attack the next soldier only to freeze as Captain landed in front of her with his shield up.

“Hay Cap.... Not that this isn't fun but it wont mean a damn thing if we can't close the portals. Not that I'm doubting Lash, or Thor. But maybe someone else should take a look at it?” Widow asked, as she settled back down on the ruined bridge.

“Our biggest guns couldn't touch it.” Captain replied as he listened to his communicator.

“Well maybe it's not about guns.” Widow said, as she stood up and rolled her shoulders.

“If you are going to get up there you are going to need a ride.” Captain continued as he watched a team of skiffs fly by. The spider tanks took them out one by one.

“I got a ride! Could use a boost though!” Widow said as she walked to the other end of the bridge getting ready.

“You sure about this?” Captain said, as he positioned himself and his shield at the ready.

“Ya! It will be fun!” Widow said, then sprinted towards Captain. Jumped into the air via her exoskeleton and Captain shot her into the air. Spider tanks took aim at the skiff but suddenly turned away. Widow had landed on the skiff and took over the pilot seat. Or rather killed the pilot and steered the corpse.

===========================================================

“This is quin-jet unit Echo-Zero-One-Six. Confirm for rejoining the AO?” The pilot said into his mouth piece as his co-pilot started to do a systems check on their weapons. They had just gotten back from the SHIELD helicarrier for resupply. Back into the pit of hell!

“Echo-Zero-One-Six, confirmed! Welcome back, and good luck! Make your attack run 57th street but stay low. Central Park has a lot of anti air established.” The SHIELD tech aboard the carrier called back.

“Roger that! Moving for-” The pilot tried to say until a static screech went across the communication line. He winced in pain but couldn't remove his headset.

“To all SHIELD ground and air units in the area of Central Park. This is Asgardian Lash Jormungandson. Please be aware in approximately one minute I am about to attack Central Park. If any of you see a giant reptilian monster wearing armor, with tentacles writhing on its back please do not shoot me!” The gruff voice said over the communication line.

“Shoot you? What do you and a giant reptile have to do with each other?” The SHIELD tech said over the communication line.

“Well I am the God of Monsters on Asgard!” Lash replied, and when the pilot to the quin-jet flew over 57th he understood why they were warned. A giant 60 foot tall, and 120 foot long monster in alien armor was sprinting full on towards Central Park. Riding on top of the monsters back was a SHIELD strike unit.

“Good God!” The pilot called over the open channel. He couldn't be the only one seeing this. He turned to his co-pilot who was just as stunned as he was.

“See! See! I told you! God of hentai and tentacle porn!” Iron Man said over the communication line.

============================================================

Saurian roared in triumph as he sprinted down 7th avenue with a strike team on his back being held in place by his hundreds of thousands of tendrils. Despite they had zero chance of falling off, they were still in great danger being exposed up top. But they volunteered when they saw Lash swap places with Saurian.

With Adaptation he adjusted himself to be a quadruped. Then shifted muscle mass, bone density, and joint placement. He lowered his skull crest like a living shield and charged towards Central Park. When he was with in a 1000 meters they started to fire on him with rapid succession. He cast Deflection, and Acceleration on himself and zipped straight into the fire. As the energy bolts collided with the ground, the buildings, or the sky itself.

“This is Kilo-One-One-Six. Following behind the big kaiju for attack run on Central Park. All quin-jets available line up on me!” A quin-jet pilot said over the comms and the jet it self was soon right behind Saurian's massive tail.

“Roger that!” “Moving in” “Over and out!” Dozens of replies came over the radio. Dozens of jets fell behind Saurian like he was a battering ram towards the enemy gates.

Saurian roared, a deep bellowing that rippled across the whole park. Intimidating Shout froze the whole army for half a second. Then Saurian jumped into the park and activated Plant Control, and Animancy. Energy currents flashed into the trees through out the forest and they came alive to have a feast of Chitauri meat! Tree branches reached out and plucked the aliens from the ground. Massive maws opened from their trunks and began to chew. The Chitauri's screams were sweet music to Saurian's ears.

“All pilots fire at will!” The lead quin-jet yelled over the comms. The co-pilots released their entire store of ammunition into the swarm of ground forces. While the strike team on Saurian's back tried their best to use full auto on their gauss rifles. Spray and pray!

At the center of the park was portal to some distant starscape. Maybe a distant moon, or asteroid in Chitauri space? Standing at the foot of the portal was a Chitauri general in ceremonial armor. Ornate gold, and purple armor. He wielded an energy tower shield and a pike with a serrated edge. He pulled it up and took aim. The pike sent a massive blast straight into Saurian's skull crest. The energy was absorbed, and washed off thanks to a brand new combination of Reality Armor, and Vibranium alloy along his skull crest. His scales were metallic after all!

The general was calm, and cold to the event. He continued to fire again, and again. But eventually he started to shift away from the portal. Then he stopped firing and turned on his heel to move out of the way of the giant monster headed his way. Saurian was having none of that and jumped into the air. The strike team let out a serious of woops, and yeehaaas! Then Saurian pounced on the general and ripped him in half! One of his tentacles blasted the control node and the portal closed just like that! The energy beam faded from sight at the primary vortex and the main portal shield shrunk just a bit.

“All SHIELD units this is Black Widow. Lash was half right! We need to destroy the auxiliary portals first. But we also need Loki's scepter to close the last portal. I have Dr. Selvig here with me at the top of Stark Tower, he has confirmed it. He placed a fail safe into the machine. Locate Loki, and bring the scepter to Stark Tower.” Black Widow said over the communication line before Lash could report the first portal was down.

“Portal one in Central Park is down.” Saurian said across the line. A little less enthusiastic about the report now. But there was always another portal! “Next portal location, central Harlem. Moving to destroy.” Saurian said over the line and shifted to run through the park at best speeds.

===========================================================

“Mother fucker! Shit! Cock! Balls! Kiss my sweet ass!” Jessica Jones screamed as she slammed he fist into one ugly fucker! Then continued to swear up a storm that would make a sailor blush. Her fist caved the Chitauri's chest cavity in.

"If April showers bring May flowers, what do May flowers bring? Pilgrims!” A man said to Jessica as his left hand turned into a metallic stabbing weapon and impaled another Chitauri.

“What the fuck does that have anything to do with what we are doing, Omni!?” Jessica screamed at the man? Silver? Thing?

“I don't trust stairs! They are always up to something!” The man? Named Omni said to Jessica with a bright smile.

“I'm going to fucking kill you!” Jessica roared in rage.

“Well are you going to fuck me before or after you kill me? Because I think Luke would be jealous of one of those.” Omni said as he decapitated another Chitauri.

“Why don't we all just settle down and take a breather!” Luke Cage said from behind them as he snapped the neck of another warrior.

“Why take a breather, when you take blow job!” Omni said with a grin. Then Jessica punched him square in the face and the man was flung straight back into a wall. His entire body turned into metallic goop that looked like mercury. Then retook his human shape.

“I guess BJ's are out?” Omni said, and jumped out of range of Jessica Jones.

ROOOOAAARRR! A monstrous shout rang across the whole part of Harlem. But everyone who heard it felt renewed, and invigorated. Luke, and Jessica looked at one another in confusion. While Omni jumped up an down in excitement!

“Oh yes! Yes! It's him! Everyone be cool! Be Cool!” Omni said, as he smoothed back his hair and changed its style.

“What the fuck was that!?” Jessica screamed, then watched in horror as a fucking dinosaur raced down the street. It ground to a half right next to them and Jessica felt a little bit of pee come out of her.

“Are any of you injured?” The creature said to them.

“Dude! I fucking love you! I have heard so much about you! Can I please have your autograph!?” Omni shouted at the giant dinosaur. The creature tilted its head at Omni then a smile pulled back on its lips. So many fangs!

“Perhaps once the battle is over! Good luck in battle, Midgardians!” The creature said and took off down the street. Jessica fell to her knees. Soon followed by Luke who was just as terrified.

“He's seems super laid back! I thought he would be all cold an indifferent! But no! Man I understand why so many people like him!” Omni said to them then looked at them in confusion.

“Whats wrong?” Omni asked.

“WHY THE FUCK IS THERE A DINOSAUR IN HARLEM!?” Jessica screamed at Omni.

“For the event! Duh!” Omni said, as if it was completely obvious.

“I'm going to kill you! You hear me! I'm going to kill you!” Jessica said as she jumped to her feet.

“Luke, save me please!” Omni danced away from Jessica.

“When did my life get so crazy?” Luke asked no one in particular but desperately hoped for an answer all the same.

==============================================================

Saurian raced past the interesting alien creature he found in Harlem. Erik the gamer recognized the woman, and man. They were Jessica Jones, and Luke Cage. From the Marvel Comics, and Netflix specials. While the alien creature was a VI Avatar with the ability Cosmic Awareness. Which allowed him to be able to talk more freely than most.

Just as they did before Saurian led the charge and the quin-jets used him as cover. But unlike last time there was no trees to assist. No there was something else. A cemetery! Saurian cast a wide area of effect Animancy and hundreds of rotting corpses burst from the ground.

“The dead shall rise! Just because I said so!” Saurian called out to the skies above. The zombies crawled out of the ground and attacked the Chitauri with unstoppable vigor that only comes with the dead.

“You are one scary mother fucker!” One of the strike team soldiers said. But he said with a smile as they continued to ride the crazy train that was Saurian.

This time the quin-jets all incinerated the Chitauri general in charge of the portal. Saurian destroyed the control node and yet another auxiliary portal was closed. He reported in and moved to the next location only for Iron Man, and War Machine to report it was taken care of! Now all that was left was the thousands of Chitauri soldiers already deployed on the ground. Along with thousands of interceptors, bombers, skiffs, and leviathans in the air. Yay! Go team!

“What did the janitor say when he jumped out of the closet? Supplies!” Saurian heard the alien creature say loudly at his companions.

“OK! No, no more! I'm going to kill you now!” Luke shouted at the creature.

“Eeeeeeeee! Why is six afraid of seven? Cause seven eight nine!” The Omni creature shouted as he grew spider appendages and crawled up the side of a building. Saurian couldn't help but chuckled as he ran past them again.

“I think your jokes are entertaining.” Saurian called as he passed.

“See! See! Some people have a sense of humor!” Omni called out.

“WHY IS THERE A FUCKING TALKING DINOSAUR IN HARLEM!?” Jessica yelled again, apparently have a miniature panic attack.

Saurian cast Sooth, Nature's Supplement, and Nature's Kiss on all three of them as he passed. For a brief moment Jessica, and Luke both seem to just sit down in total stress free moment. Then Omni oozed down to the floor and poked them softly whispering something into their ears. Luke snapped out his hand and started to strangle Omni. But the metallic ooze just laughed and wobbled back and forth.

As he passed several destroyed vehicles Saurian made another spider tank. It hummed to life and started to patrol Harlem. Killing any Chitauri it could find, and providing anti air for any quin-jets that flew by. Saurian raced back to the starting point of their little expedition hoping that everyone was still alive. Once they arrived with in a few blocks of Stark Tower. Saurian crouched and had the strike team jump off.

“Thanks for accompanying me on my hunt! But I must move on my own, I have giant snakes to hunt!” Saurian said to them, the SHIELD strike team saluted him and moved into the streets of the city to hunt for more Chitauri.

Saurian used Gravity Stride and climbed a building like it was the floor. Though he stepped carefully he didn't want to crush any walls, and stick his foot through a window. Gravity was weird like that. He climbed to the top of a skyscraper looking down. Waiting as his tentacles created spell circles and shot down the Chitauri air craft. Only three auxiliary, and primary portal to go. Making progress, Saurian saw a fleet of skiff ships zip by and for a brief moment he saw Loki sitting on a throne. Loki glanced at Saurian and paled.

You can still end this, Loki! -Saurian's voice called out with Telepathy.

No, I will see it to the end. I who was, and should be king! -Loki replied, and shut the connection down.

Following close behind the fleet of skiffs was Iron Man, War Machine, Thor, and several quin-jets. The sound of shattering glass, and crushed concrete woke Saurian from his thoughts below him between buildings flying over the city streets was a leviathan. Ignorant of the hunter above it, Saurian sent out a mass wide area of effect Compulsion for any civilians, and soldiers to move out of the street. Then he jumped off and pounced straight on top of the creature.

Roooooar! The leviathan screamed in surprise, then soon in agony as Saurian raked his claws through metal, flesh, and bone! He tore straight through the creatures spine, and it flopped like a fish out of water. Crashing into the ground and twitched for while. It opened and closed its mouth trying to scream but no sound came out. Saurian climbed towards its head, wrapped his arms around it and snapped its neck. No reason for it to suffer. It wasn't its fault it was on the wrong side of the battle.

Saurian cast Nature's Passage and Chameleon on himself and blended back into the city it self. Hundreds of fighter craft passed by in search of him but missed him by only a few meters. Saurian climbed down gently, and moved to another building waiting for another leviathan to pass by. He eventually found himself back at the main street where he had left everyone. Captain was fighting the good fight taking on dozens of soldiers. While the spider tanks continued to shoot at the ships above. Hawkeye was above at a snipers nest and...Wounded?

==========================================================

Draw, aim, fire....Breath...Try not to pass out! Draw, aim, fire! Breath....Fuck! Hawkeye took a knee and wheezed. Several of his ribs were broken if his UI was to be believed. He couldn't see out of his right eye anymore. But he kept at it! Draw, aim, fire.....

“Your hurt...” A predatory voice said, and it sent a shiver down Hawkeye's spine. It was the type of voice that told his primal part of his brain to run, hide, and hope the predator doesn't notice him. Hawkeye slowly turned around and saw a massive scaled snout in front of him.

“Sit down Hawkeye I'll treat your wounds.” Saurian said to him, and Hawkeye passed out. Clearly believing he had sever blood loos. That would never explain a giant dragon sitting on a building next to him....

----

Hawkeye woke up with a start to find himself in the middle of a massive scaled tail? He slowly sat up and realized that his ribs were fixed? He could see out of his right eye again. He slowly looked up and saw the giant dragon shooting Chitauri craft down with his ten...

“Lash!?” Hawkeye shouted in surprise.

“Yes, and no. While I am in the shape my father bestowed on me I take the name Saurian. How are you feeling?” The giant reptile asked, and Hawkeye sat back down on the ground.

“Fuck! So much better now! I mean I head you over the radio but I thought people were just seeing stuff. But wow! You are really big like that! Thanks for the save by the way!” Hawkeye said, as he slowly stood up. He also noticed his exoskeleton had been fixed. Just another question to ask the big guy later.

“I am happy you are safe my friend...Oh! Forgive me I didn't mean to be so forward with my feelings.” Saurian said, and looked a little bashful. Hawkeye looked at him with wide eyes, and a grin slowly spread across his face. The big guy was like a kid in this shape, interesting. Kids Hawkeye could handle.

“No, no! Of course we are friends, Saurian. You've saved my life how many times today! Friends take care of each other!” Hawkeye said, and noticed that Saurian's tail wagged just a bit. Yep, Hawkeye was going to tease Lash about this later.

“Well I should go! Your quiver is resupplied, your armor is fixed, as is your body. Good luck!” Saurian said and faded from sight right in front of Hawkeye.

“Wow, that is a nice trick!” Hawkeye said, then he went back to his job. Draw, aim, fire! Draw, aim, fire!

============================================================

Hopefully Hawkeye wont be to upset with him if he ever found out that Saurian was playing a part. People seem to react to him better if he acts like a creature that is bashful and unsure of himself. He was not entirely sure why? He'll have to ask Thor. Or maybe Darcy she seems to have a good handle on things on Midgard?....No, Saurian better ask Jane instead.

It seems that one of the quin-jets found the control node to one of the auxiliary portals flying above because they were now down to two auxiliary, and one primary. Saurian switched through his full spectrum sight until he saw a glimmer of energy flowing from one of the portals down into the city below. Saurian climbed over the buildings carefully, and slowly like a predator cat in a concrete jungle. Slinking casually below him was a leviathan with ornate golden armor, and extra automated turrets that swiveled in all directions.

Just as he was about to pounce down on top of it he heard a tremendous roar. A giant green gamma infused monster burst from the nearby building and tackled the creatures mouth. Ripping, and pulling on its teeth. The leviathan cried out in pain and turned towards the direction Hulk was pulling. Saurian watched him for a bit then jumped own and slammed into the creature from above. The sudden shift in direction surprised Hulk as he looked up in confusion then his eyes went wide.

“Brother Hulk! How goes it!?” Saurian called out to him, and Hulk became a little sullen.

“Brother Lash is bigger than Hulk!” Hulk said, his voice fallen. All the while the guardian leviathan was under Saurian's claws desperately trying to wiggle away.

“Never fear, Brother Hulk no matter what form I take you will always be the greater power. For your strength is with out equal!” Saurian said to him, and Hulk grinned at him. Pulling his shoulders back, and chest out.

“Hulk is strongest in the world!” He roared, and jumped down to drive his elbow straight into the leviathan. Shattering the things skull, and splattering its brain.

“Yes, strongest in the world indeed.” Saurian replied, and watched as the energy current disappeared and another portal closed.

“Come, there is another creature we must find before we have one portal left! It is hiding between those two buildings. Race to see who kills it first?” Saurian asked, and Hulk grinned jumping up into the air and racing off. Saurian laughed, a sound that would send lesser men to their knees.

===============================================================

“Director Fury, the council has made its decision.” Said an older woman from the view screen. Her face partially hidden by the camera.

“I recognize that the council has made a decision, but considering its a stupid ass decision I've elected to ignore it.” Fury said back at them, nearly earning his name as he was moments from taking out his side arm and shooting the view screen.

“Director! You are closer than any of our subs! You fire that missile immediately.” Gideon Malick said to the Director.

“That is the city of New York councilman! Until I am sure that my team can not handle the situation I will not order the annihilation of a civilian population!” Fury snapped back.

“If we don't do it now we may lose everything!” Malick shouted back at him. But before Fury could reply another window appeared. Though it had no video everyone, and the council soon discovered who it was.

“Alright listen up you stupid pieces of shit!” Saurian roared across the line. “How many of you have a mastered the higher learning of Astrophysicists? Perhaps you have a greater understand of energy beyond Midgardian understanding? No? Then shut the fuck up and listen!” Saurian shouted, the council looked shock at being spoken to like that.

“Even if you send a hundred missiles of destruction. What do you call them? Nuclear missiles? The primary portal will not be destroyed! The barrier surrounding it is pure energy. Even if you destroy Stark Tower the portal will remain open! All you will do is destroy your peoples homes, and your best soldiers for a wasted effort.” Saurian said across the link.

“Now you listen to me, you freak!” Malick shouted.

“Freak!? FREAK!? I am Asgardian you pathetic shit! I am over a thousand years old! But I swear to the All Father that if you fire a single missile at our people I will use my considerable life time to hunt each of you down and SKIN YOU ALIVE! Then I will ensure your entire family line lives in disgrace as every Midgardian in the world learns that you ordered a missile attack on a civilian population! I've recorded his entire conversation and am more than capable of ruining their lives!” Saurian shouted, and the security council went deathly silent.

“Director! Please turn them off and let the mewling shits bicker over petty things they no nothing about. We need your tactical advice with the soldiers in the city! Jormungandson, and God of Monsters over and out!” Saurian shouted, and closed the line. Fury had a smug satisfied grin on his face.

“Well, I think that is all that needs to be said. Unless you want a pissed off God to hunt you all down. Good bye!” Fury said, and shut the communication down. He looked at Agent Hill with a smile on his face.

“I like him...” Fury said, and Hill smirked.

============================================================

“Enough! I am a God you dull creature and I will not be bullied!” Loki shouted at hulk then was picked up by the monster and repeatedly slammed over, and over into the stone floor in Stark's common room. Hulk looked at him to see if he was still wiggling, then bashed him a few more times. Once he was sure Loki was down for the count he walked away back to the fight.

“Puny God.” Hulk said disdain, and jumped out of the window.

That was good, awesome job big guy. -Banner said across their shared link.

“Hulk like this better! Banner no shouting, working together.” Hulk said out loud.

Ya, I think this could work. One step at a time, but let's go kick some more ass! -Banner replied to Hulk and the other guy grinned.

Hulk leaped tall buildings in a single bound and slammed into leviathans, skiffs, and Chitauri soldiers hiding on the walls of buildings. Banner would point out a few civilians in need, or a shield strike unit. Or even a few city vigilantes in costume. Always offering a bit of advice, but never forcing Hulk to do anything. Banner didn't understand why this was different. What did Lash do to them? It's like before Banner would be asleep, while Hulk was awake. Then Hulk would be asleep while Banner was awake. But now? Now they were both awake, and talking! God to honest talking!

Cascading crash of thunder, and brilliant light burst across the skies. The giant prism above the Tesseract exploded in the skies. The giant portal slowly closed, slicing a leviathan in half as it tried to move through. The primary portal closed, and all was silent for a brief moment. But the fight wasn't over. The Chitauri continued to fight to the last...man? Bug? Thing?

“HULK SMASH!” Hulk roared and tackled a Chiauri in glee.

============================================================

In the movie the Chitauri fall like puppets with out strings. Of course in the movies Stark rides a nuke into the portal and destroys the control ship. Maybe that is why they are still fighting, or maybe its just part of the event. Let the low levels get some experience hunting the Chitauri down. -Erik the game said across their shared link.

Saurian contemplated that little fact. It could mean several things, knowing their Cosmic Patron there could be one...No! No! That's a red flag! Don't stay it! Saurian shook his head back and forth, and his scales rattled lightly. He was perched on top of another building shooting down the remaining interceptors. One by one they started to fall with concentrated fire, and team work. However, he did notice hundreds of them flew off into the horizon. While some of the remaining leviathans started to fly straight up into the upper atmosphere.

Saurian took a deep breath and let loose a roar! Rallying Call washed over nearly the entire city. A few moments later, Hulk roared back with an enthusiastic cheer! Or maybe he was just shouting. Saurian wasn't sure. It had been mid day when the battle had started. Now it was almost sunset. In the distance he could see the SHIELD helicarrier slowly coming towards the city.

“It seems the security council took my threat seriously.” Saurian said across the communication line.

“I still can't believe they were willing to nuke New York.” Captain replied back.

“You have the whole thing saved on something? Cause I still think we should let the tape loose on the public net.” Tony said next, he was flying around with Rhodey cleaning up a few straggling skiffs.

“The world wide web I assume? I uploaded a version of it a few minutes ago.” Saurian said, and received nothing but silence on the other end.

“BUHAHAHAAAHAHAHAAHHA!” Tony started to laugh, he laughed so hard he fell from the sky and dragged himself across the street. But he never stopped laughing the whole way down.

“Holy shit, he's not kidding! It's up there! It shows the security council names, and the entire conversation about how they are trying to tell the Director to nuke New York. While Fury continues to tell them no, Saurian calls them on their shit. This will have huge consequences!” Rhodey said with a grimace.

The whole team continued to talk but Saurian noticed the world was slowing down to crawl. Then time itself stopped. He looked around, still able to move but nothing else was. A glowing light gradually came down from the sky. It took the shape of a beautiful woman made from the very stars themselves. Saurian smiled and watched Dawn descend like a an angel, or maybe a goddess? She stopped a few feet away from his face, floating in the air.

“Congratulations User! You've completed the story event! Now, the question is do you wish to leave the Rift and return to your reality. Or do you wish to continue the story, and see the results of your actions.” Dawn asked, and Saurian raised a scaled brow at her. All six of his eyes focused on her.

“Consequences? Wait, do my actions effect the next event?” Saurian asked, a bit of anticipation in his voice.

“Oh yes! The butterfly effect is real in this Rift. Also you can choose to accept your reward for this event now. Or you can double down and put your reward into the next event. Please be aware that the difficulty will scale anywhere between 10-50%.” Dawn said, as she fluttered about in the sky like a will-o-wisp.

“Wait, why is the difficulty scaling so wide?” Saurian looked at her in curiosi-->>
