Multiverse of Marvel

Chapter 71: The destroyer

"In addition John is a consultant of SHIELD, do you think Fury will leave if there is an assassination attempt on him. Hydra isn't ready to raise it's head. We are already trying to contact with the country lords of Naruto. Maybe we can extract some of ninja's powers. So don't take any rash decision without authorization." Pierce continued.

Actually Pierce had too much confidence on Insight Project. No matter how powerful those helicarriers were, they would be destroyed by just John alone if he wanted. For this reason John never cared about Hydra. Hydra was hidden too deep on all walks of life poisoning the system, so even if John wanted to he would have to face a lot of opposition while cleaning Hydra. He wanted to catch all the heads of Hydra including Mallick, Daniel Whitehall and other heads spread all over the world in a single assault.

Sitwell listened to the reprimand of Pierce and couldn't refute him. But Sitwell had a feeling that in the establishment of order of Hydra, John might be the greatest hindrance.

The next few days went as peaceful as it could be in Puente Antiguo. John joined Thor and others and talked about different things. It was Thor mostly talking about the different realms that are under Asgard. Diana felt sad hearing the stories of Thor as the Paradise Island never had such background. If they had, they wouldn't have to be hidden for such a long time.

Suddenly one fine morning the friends of Thor appeared in the doorstep of the place where Thor was living his days. John too was present at that time. Sif and others told Thor the truth about Loki and his plans. As Thor was discussing with his friends John called Coulson.

"Coulson, evacuate the town, there is a fight incoming. This fight will rage the town to the ground"

"Fight? Is there a fight coming? How do you know about it? Who is the enemy?" Coulson sounded worried.

"There is no time Coulson, if you trust me just do it. The guns and weapons which you have won't be even able to scratch the enemy. Just do it fast if you don't want to see casualties." John replied. As he said that he saw there were clouds forming in whirlpool shape. John knew that the Destroyer was coming.

Coulson also saw this phenomenon and chose to believe John at the end. He ordered the agents to evacuate the town as John suggested and went to the town itself to assessing the threat.

"Diana you know what you have to do" John said to Diana who was sitting beside.

"Yes, let me go change myself." Diana said as she walked away.

"Thor you need to evacuate the people, you are a mortal now." John said as they saw the Destroyer, which was sent by Loki, approaching. Diana who returned with her armor also helped the people.

The residents didn't believe them at first but when the agents arrived and said it was from FBI ( the existence of SHIELD is still a secret ) and their town might be under threat , only then did they leave. When the agents saw a huge iron giant walking while destroying everything in it's path did the agents take the order more seriously. Some even shot at the Destroyer but it couldn't even scratch it's armor.

"We need a distraction for me to shove my spear into the Destroyer. Maybe that will stop it." Sif suggested. Volstagg and others agreed to her suggestion. Thor on the other hand looked at Diana and said

"Can you help us?"

"Yes I will help you in this fight but you need to get your powers back, otherwise you will die if you join the fight"

"This destruction and hatred was caused by me, I want to be in the end of it." Thor replied.

Volstagg and other two of his friends approached the Destroyer from front, while Sif took a different route to sneak towards the Destroyer.

Fandral and Hogun threw Volstagg towards the Destroyer and the Destroyer anticipating it slapped at Volstagg with his hand. That slap was powerful enough to throw him the same direction as he came from. As the Destroyer opened it's face to shoot at Volstagg with its heat beam, Sif who was on the roof of a building beside the destroyer jumped onto it and shoved her spear through the neck of the Destroyer. It stopped the Destroyer and Sif felt relieved seeing it.

The Destroyer which got shut down due to the spear after few moments rotated itself and open its face again to shoot at Sif. Sif who thought was going to be blasted away suddenly felt herself being drawn away from the shooting range. She saw she was being tied by a shining rope.

As she turned her head she saw her savior. It was the woman who was sitting beside Thor before when they went to meet him.

"Let me join this fun." Diana said to her.
