Atropos had been thrown back some feet from the fight by Iron Man's blast of plasma. Bane had drained little mana from the psychic slave, but had at least learned of what was occurring. Some form of elite troop of magically or martially skilled warriors (including the god of thunder and lightning, which surprised Bane since last he'd seen Zeus he'd been fighting Axe in a rocky river embankment) were defending this plain from an onslaught of alien armies and troops that had descended from portals in the sky. Atropos was sure that it would have taken several convents and circles of mages and wizards to bring about such a cataclysm, but that wasn't his problem. What his problem was, was the rampaging psychic slave Tony Stark and the trigger happy Phoenix Lord. He new that while Stark possessed little soul or mana to feed on, Ra seemed to be made up of hundreds of vessels of intelligence. “If only....” His plan was interrupted as the Iron Man struck at Atropos's cover, forcing the inky element to pull back and spit curses and hexes upon the so called 'hero'. Bane snarled as he spoke the words of his favoured curse and drained Stark's vitality, drinking from the ichor and plasma that ran through his veins like some form of vampire.

Ra emptied hundreds of psy-shard shurikans into the battling combatants, many sparked off the hex wards of the Darkness and many stuck off Tony's armour, but some found there way to make contact with the Darkness. They did little visible good though, the smog engulfed each one, they fizzled briefly but went out within the smog. But Iron Man had no such protection, and several shurikans struck deep gouges in his armour and the power to his lift thrusters waned abruptly, bring him crashing down. He was a sorry sight, rent on the outside, rent within, but he was not dead.

The Darkness was leeching off the man like a parasite, obviously enjoying the stolen vitality. Ra threw himself bodily between the leeching tendrils and the Man of Iron. The Human had battled well, and deserves a fighters death, not this, not when he knew not what he did. Powerful protective wards flares up on Ra's armour, straining against the leeching. It made Ra sluggish, as umbral weapons flashed into existence, Ra deflected with desperate skill, but this foe was beyond him. But Ra had no intension of bringing the behemoth down, he instead led the creature towards a new squad of aliens pouring out of a portal. Ra feinted a miss block, over balancing himself to one side, the Darkness flung himself at the annoyance that was Ra. But there is one problem with being a living incarnation of shadow, you don't have any *physical* form. Ra turned his over balance into a dive straight through the Darkness. Ra felt cold, after sharing an existence with that creature for 1 second, it made his own title of the harvester of souls seem hollow. Ra ran, back towards imperial lines, leaving the Darkness to be distracted by its new playthings.

Bane spat in anger as he realised he'd been duped. He'd lost his meal and had been left with what were broken dolls in comparrison. After ripping the welp-beings tiny souls from their beings and feasting on them, Atropos sought his feast once again. He'd have to deal with the eldar being soon though, since it obviously bore distaste or even feared the Elemental. The idea of tormenting a being of a hundred souls and minds was truly fiendish, but it wouldn't be easy, but it would be fun. Atropos snickered as he set off on the trail as he sought out Ra.

Authrix watched as the three creatures battled around him. An Eldar, no doubt. He believed it to be a phoenix lord, based on the armour, but he could not be certain. The creature of darkness had attmepted to assail his mind, but a trained Psyker of the Imperium, the Dark Angel elite no less, refused to cow to such ungodly forces. finally, the Eldar led the thing away. As it did, Stark stood again, taking aim with one of his arms. Authrix barely had time to dodge the repulsor blast as a battered and bruised Iron Man restarted his attack. A psychic presence shone to his left: there.
That small creature is affecting his mind. Without a second thought, Authrix draw forth the power of the warp, blasting the creature with psychic energy.

Bane drifted towards the mortal defensive perimeter, trailing after the ancient one who had fled Atropos after his clever dupe. The creature was in no way frail, but he could feel that such a being possessed a millenniums worth of varied souls and minds, all rife and fertile. All within Bane's grasp. While 'heroically' Ra had denied Atropos Stark, the tinkerer was like tasteless paste compared to what the Phoenix Lord was. A banquet. Atropos would feed and draw strength from hundreds of life times;

“Oh Ra, oh Ra, come champion of the old, are you so frail and old that you deny a weak element like me a simple combat? I can assure you, what fates She Who Thirsts offers is nothing like my own... Come play with us Ra, forever and ever.”

Ra didn't need to see the beast to know it hunted him, he could feel it. A numbing cold creeping in at the edges of perception. It was gaining. Ra had bought them time, he had hoped the used it well as he bounded round the corner. Nothing amazed the phoenix lord anymore, but the sight of a blue clad teenager standing atop twitching brain bug, still bring his multi coloured hammer down on its frail form, did come close. Ra could still taste powerful magicks used to break the creature in the Ozone, no doubt the Librarians work. Tony hadn't moved, but he could see his aura was different, he was no longer under his thrall.

There was no time for words, the Darkness was almost upon thm. Ra imprinted his memories, giving the champions recollection of the event. Ra walked over to Tony, and pointed his Maugetar at his face. He held it there, ''Well get up then''. Tony grabbed the end of the Maugetar and shakily steadied himself and relaying info to the rest of his 'team'.

''Darkness approaches, light wanes before loveless night, but now comes again! And we will bring a bloody dawn! For Ynnead!''

Ra sprinted at the wall corner the creature would pass, before planting his foot firmly against the wall and propelling himself backwards onto a large abandoned delivery truck. Ra set his stance as advanced stabilizers magnetised both his boots and the roof of the truck. Ra trailed the gun down the street, and waited.

"Interference: Unanticipated Greater Measures: Required." 94172 Blurted telepathically as it's telekinetic and energy shielding was rocked by another impact of the almight warhammer of vrillyhoo, the dice inside the hammer rolling up a stampede of buffalo from nowhere that ran into the Scrin and pushed it back in a tidal wave of bovines, it's buzzer swarms having been ripped from it some time ago by a spell from the girl. The girl was wielding some form of force it was not familiar with, not psionic in nature, much like the dark one.

As it finally managed to repulse the Bison with a psionic blast, it was met with another impact from psychic energy that confused it...drawing from some form of power it was not familiar with, the twelve foot tall insectoid let loose a screech as it felt it's mind assailed by another, pushed back by the psychic energy as it sought some form of escape or reinforcement. It was used to pain, pain was a familiar sensation, from it's horrid, alien creche from where it was hatched, to the countless battlefields it fought in. But this was getting too much for it to bear.

A series of transports dropped off the reinforcements it requested, Tanks and Walkers who immediately began directing themselves towards the Children as it tried to walk off it's injuries from Maugan Ra's cannon, finding that some of the shards were able to slip past it's layers of defenses and embed itself into the twelve foot tall insectoid's flesh. It needed Tiberium to restore itself, and it needed it quickly. What it didn't count on was a second barrage of hits from the Eldar, making it squeal in an alien voice in pain as it bled radioactive ichor from it's silvery body.

Another thing it didn't count on was the boy dispersing into blue tendrils of wind around the shots of it's reinforcements while the girl intercepted them with her wands and sent them casting off elsewhere before the spectacles wearing boy reformed in front of one of the tanks. The tank attempted to shift the direction of it's repulsion field, attempting to ram the teenager, but he reached out his hands and grabbed onto the Devourer Tank's front side, holding it in place. Desperate, the tank tried to force itself to the ground, make itself dead weight, but the boy then actually lifted the entire seventy ton tank over his head.

"Feat: Impossible. Human body: Incapable of it. Displayed Strength: Baffling." The Scrin said before the boy launched the vehicle at him so fast that it seemed silent before it managed to stop the tank with a telekinetic grab, pushing itself backwards and into the ground as it lowered it's telekinetic barriers to keep the tank in one place. Silent before the sonic boom hit the creature that is, pushing it backwards and opening it to a series of spells impacting it's body from the girl as she transmuted some of the vehicles into harmless objects and outright disintegrated others, while windstorms of unnatural ferocity whipped into blue tornados and chucked it's reinforcements in every which direction.

Sensing that it's mind thrall was weakening, it detected the mental presence of another being, perhaps suitable to it's needs, no...two beings. a mutated abomination which shared some of the same genetics of a powerful green creature called the hulk from which it detected revelry in newly granted freedom, and another hammer wielder. It latched onto the minds of these beings, sending new thoughts and ideas into their minds to coerce their obedience, stopping them dead in their tracks as it turned to the other attackers.

The God it couldn't fully control...his hammer was a connection to some greater power it couldn't overwhelm, but it could make him see others as enemies... but the Abomination, this Emil Blonsky, that was something it could command fully.

The Abomination, with all his mutant strength was directed to fight Ra and Bane, the Thunder God it sent to face the other psyker, while it would deal with the children personally.

"You face the god of thunder human, you had best give me a good fight!" The mentally influenced Thor said as he prepared to strike at the Space Marine.

The Abomination was wordless as it leaped to attack Bane, while the creature created bladed telekinetic tendrils to fend off the children who were relentlessly pursuing it.

"Let them go now!" John said as he batted away several telekinetic swings as Rose moved in to assist with his deflective efforts, creating magical circles that intercepted many of it's other attempted strikes.

"As he has stated, you are to release those you have kept under your thrall or we will demonstrate to you the consequences." She said as the creature fired off a disintegration ray from it's eye, which she intercepted with a white lance of energy from one of her wands.

The Leviathan had moved close to Raiden, its stabilising fins dragging along the floor. The cyborg aliens along it's back cheered in sync, all looking forward to the battle ahead. Raiden had a plan in his head, wait for the Leviathan to take a bite, then head across his back. All of a sudden, he heard a familiar voice from his codec.

"Raiden is that you? It's Doktor."
"Doktor? Where are you? How on earth did you get here?"
"Like I said, it was most peculiar. There seem to be hundreds of portals appearing all over the known universe. In fact, there appear to be portals appearing in fictional universes too."
"Fictional universes? You mean video games?"
"Ja, well if enough people believe it then doesn't it become real?"
"Call you back Doktor." Raiden put away his codec and prepared for battle.

With a massive leap, Raiden leapt up on to the back of the Leviathan. The aliens on board broke free and began to charge him, weapons blaring some kind of plasma. Raiden sliced the first person in half, some kind of plasma energy leaked from the being and Raiden smiled. Energy.

Raiden absorbed the substance and unleashed the Ripper. He began to mercilessly hack apart everyone on the back of the Leviathan with strokes of his sword. Jumping from alien to alien Raiden was an unstoppable machine of death, brutally hacking apart the aliens all the way to the tail. he Leviathan seemed to be unaware of the chaos going on along it's topside. Raiden glanced over to the tower were Prophet was heading before looking back to the creature's head.

Jumping off the creature, Raiden sliced through a power cable on the way down, pulling a length of cable down with it. With a powerful push off his legs, Raiden bolted up the side of the building before jumping back onto the creature. Heading towards the creatures head, cable in tow, Raiden threw his sword into the top of the creature with one end of the cable attached to it. Using the cable as a fixing point, Raiden ran along the belly of the creature, wrapping the cable around in a make shift bridle. Once he was back on top, Raiden used his excessive strength to pull the creature towards the tower. Somehow it responded, and Raiden began to ride the creature towards its destination.

Loki stood atop his tower, grinning wildly as he watched the world burned. He had hoped to have become the King of the world, but if he could watch his Brother's beloved planet die in the ceaseless chaos, he'd be quite happy with that too. He was so pleased with his own work he didn't even notice that there were several forces converging on the tower, all of them recognizing that he had some important role to play in this catastrophe.

"You face the god of thunder human, you had best give me a good fight!"

"There is only one God, and last time I checked he didn't wear a tacky cape." Authrix retorted, before the hammer flew from the man's hand, ringing violently against the Librarian's pauldron. Staggering back, he drew his own weapons, stepping into a blocking stance as the hammer flew back to the man's hand. There was something in him, his demeanor, his apparent strength, even his posture which reminded him of the wolves of Russ. Narrowing his eyes, Authrix began the Litany of honour.
"Emperor guide my hand, for the foe is unworthy of your worship, that I may best him now for your grace."
The Asgardian laughed. "Mumble more, that I may practice my aim."
Authrix connected to the Warp, as Thor spun his hammer, bolts of ethereal lightning crossing the space in an instant.
It stopped, and both rushed forwards to close the gap. The hammer came down as Authrix's sword came up, revving angrily. The two sparked, Astartes and demi god locked in a struggle of might. Even with Might of the Ancients, the Asgardian was still a match, forcing the Dark Angel from his guard. He ducked swiftly, causing Thor to over extend widely. A backhand swing tore the cape from his shoulders, leaving a large gash in his back. Authrix flicked the blood off casually. The man may be stronger, but he didn't have the skill Authrix had honed. Thor rushed in again, a massive leap Which Authrix attempted to parry, only for his sword to be forced from his grip. The blade bounced across the street, landing by a malfunctioning bot, the same one Authrix had hit earlier. He forced the Asgardian back casting Smite once more, before running to his weapon. He didn't expect the hammer again, this time thrown. The heavy impact forced him to the floor just as he reached the blade. He could feel the bot's psychic presence, and knew he had to destroy it. Thor was rushing to retrieve his weapon, forcing the Astartes to act. He thumbed the activation and sliced, opening the bot from underneath, driving his force blade into the heart of the mahcine. Something inside screamed in xenos language, and he pushed further, certain it was working. With a yell of victory, he pulled the blade free of the xenos walker, now dripping with alien ichor, before facing his opponent again. Thor stood still, Authrix waiting for him to make the first move. The auspex said he was at 85% vitality. Authrix at 90%. He pulled his bolt pistol, aiming directly at Thor's chest.
"I won't miss. Are you loyal to humanity or not?"

Atropos had garbed in inky blackness, as the mutant beast advanced upon him. The elemental raised his wards and then limbs in maddened chant as he focussed upon the abomination sent to slay him, Ra' would have to wait. The mutant was stopped in his tracks, held in Bane's foul grip. Atropos strained himself holding back the enraged giant, his insanity denying the nightmares the ability to take hold. Bane weakly cried out to 'Ra;

"Harvester! Kill the beast so that we both might survive! this"

The Abomination put his unholy might against that of the Nightmares wards, but Bane was weary from all the battles of the day without ample 'food stuff'. Each punch drove him a step back as an umbral shield absorbed the force of each strike. The Darkness looked up at Ra, perched above, watching intently, obviously analysing the new predicament. The Abomination renewed his attack shook Atropos wards to there core. The Darkness looked again to where Ra sat, but he was gone.

Ra had moved with speed thought impossible, clad in such heavy armour and wielding such a large fluted cannon scythe. But Ra was a Phoenix Lord, the epitome of eldar Martial grace and prowess, he moved like quick-silver. Landing lightly behind the Abomination soundlessly.

The Abomination stopped his assault, looking mildly confused. He stared down as thin cuts appeared across the back of his knees and bit slightly into his thigh. Small rivulets of greenish blood escaping from the deceptively deep, but surgically accurate cut. The Abomination cursed as his legs gave way under his massive augmented bulk, tendons masterfully cut. He swung at the figure of death at his shoulder, but Ra effortlessly avoided the sweeps before contemptuously kicking the creature in the back of the head, he hit the floor hard. ''Scarcely better then an Ork. Strength but no Skill.''

Ra turned to Atropos, trying to understand the connection he felt to the Darkness. ''You are an evil thing, inherently and infinitely. But this is as much my realm as it is yours daemon, and this is no place to place judgement. You will meet your reckoning creature, but you will help me understand what is happening here first. Then you will understand death as we Eldar do. Do we have an accord, creature of the Dark?''. Ra sent these thoughts spiralling out, he did not think in words but in intensions. any creature could understand that.

"We have an accord....elder one. This place's current condition, is from what I can tell, the machinations of a powerful mage. How he managed to raise such a series of portals without tearing this plain asunder is beyond me, but his actions seem to have resonated across the material realm. All forms of universal barrier are gone, and soon, I predict that it will end in the universes and plains of reality crashing down into one single, shared reality. If we wish for further answers, then we must go to the source. I believe that the mage has opened such doorways from there." Atropos pointed an arched finger towards the centre of the city, where a single structure was dwarfed by a massive portal, a tear in reality. "If we can confront the mage, we might learn more. He is apparently known to this realm as the god Loki, though dare he oppose us he will learn why I am the one who bring the gods nightmares."

Maugan Ra Laughted Sardonically. ''Your reasoning is sound, we shall head for the eye of the storm. This realm has such petty gods! That one plays with a hammer like a child and this one is a god trying to play god with borrowed power, where I come from gods rip souls asunder and drown worlds in blood, how standards drop. We should teach these 'divine' creatures that immortality is no protection from the doom We, the Harvesters can bring.''

Ra stepped nimbly over the prone form of the Abomination, before walking casually towards the centre tower adorn with the name 'Stark' at the side of his erstwhile enemy. Ra wanted answers, his enmity could wait.

Atropos advanced after 'Ra, the elemental seemed to shine with glee; "Then we are agreed, a quick foray into the lions den will treat us with the answers we desire and deserve. I suggest when then seek out the saviour, dare she attempt to fell us when her delusions of grandeur go wrong! I am not doubtful that once she finds that you and I have decided upon a temporary cease fire in the hope of progress, instead of continuing a war not meant for this plain, she will dispatch her servants to remove us from the equation."

"Defeat: Inevitable. Solution: Withdraw." The Scrin said, the insectoid abomination activating it's teleporters as it realized it was defeated, disappearing in a sudden flash and relinquishing control over it's puppets.

"Whew..." John said as he slung his hammer over his back and Rose placed her needlewands at her sides.

The Abomination lay there, groaning in pain as his body healed. Despite his healing factor however, he was unlikely to be getting up any time soon after the thorough thrashing Maugan Ra had dealt to him. Thor on the other hand, seemed to have a haze lifted from his eyes and an intense headache settling over him.

"Odin's beard...what happened, I remember being so, angry." He said as he staggered to his feet, acknowledging the Space Marine.

"Never have I been bested by a mortal...you fight well armored one." He said, still groggy from the beating he took from the Marine.

The Guardsmen looked over the prone figure of the Abomination and seemed to argue what to do with him, he was obviously some kind of hideous mutant and he should not be suffered to live during the purification of this world, but yet if the Eldar was telling the truth and their auspexes were right, the most severe sort of disruption was coming from that tower.

Thor wiped the blood from his mouth as he spoke. "My brother is on that tower...the Skull faced one speaks the truth, he is the one who opened the first portals, and he must have had something to do with the new ones. He wishes to rule over man as a god again, he wants nothing more than to see humanity suffer to spite me." Thor said as he regained his senses.

"Because Odin always favored you at his expense?" Rose said, the teenaged goddess of light and fortune floating over him.

"Yes, and in my arrogance I drove him to this. But I will see him brought home where he can face Asgardian justice." He said, doing a double take at the fact that this person was just a child really.

"I can get us there quickly!" John offered, gusts of wind seeming to form at his command.

"Hold on and I'll make some gusts to bring us to the tower." He said as he spun up whirlwinds with his thoughts, the rapidly forming pillars of wind attempting to pick up Maugan Ra, Bane, and Authrix to lift them up as he and Rose took off under their own power, with Thor following in their wake to the tower.

-----------Senator Armstrong-------------

After suplexing a Scrin Tripod into oblivion, the Senator was standing for an adhoc press conference, flanked by the winds of destruction.

"My fellow Americans, I know you'll find this hard to believe, but me and my associates from another universe, and we're here to help. We'll help clean these streets of aliens and find ways to support these vigilantes in their efforts to stop superpowered crime. We'll help to clean up this city, find you new homes and jobs once the alien menace to our shores is dealt with. Then we'll ensure the world learns to trust America again when we save them from this terror from the stars. But I'll need your support to do it. We'll need to work as one to fight the aliens. And once that happens, I'll fight to keep war off your shores." He said, with some of the journalists who had flooded the city to get the latest scoop of the action bombarding him with questions, but he picked out one that interested him.

"Mr.Armstrong, how exactly are you so powerful? Some analysts say that you might even be stronger than the Hulk or Abomination." He asked, which prompted him to grin as the winds chuckled among themselves.

"Nanomachines, son."

---------------------Loki--------------------

Laufeyson surveyed the destruction like a King watching his enemies burn. His Chitauri army, bolstered by a stream of powerful Frost Giants he had managed to coax of Jotunheim via learning more of the Tesseract's power from the other entities that opened the portal, were busily razing everything they could come across while fighting against countless new armies and the native population of the world. Some reports of the natives coming to an alliance with some of the other armies may have worried him, but he was too confident in his success.

The Scrin Mastermind, 94172, teleported to his side, obviously injured. "Enemies: Strong. Alliance: Threatened. Require: Regroup." The Insectoid said as it limped along, it's regenerative powers kicking in to help seal some of it's painful wounds from the battle.

"Oh I expect them to be strong. All the better for when this world sees them broken." He said as the Scrin observed him through it's single eye, skepticism apparent in it's mannerism.

"The humans are not to be underestimated." Another, deeper, snarling voice said, prompting Loki to turn to another one of his benefactors; Megatron, who had offered the aid of his Decepticon army in this new war.

"Nor are they to be overestimated. They will fold before our numbers in time." He grinned, he had reclaimed his scepter, both the one he wielded at Asgard and the new one forged by Thanos, and he felt much more ready to confront any comers.

''Let the godling come, but let it be known she has made no enemy of me, yet. Her shining blade and armour remind me of my brothers, her ferocity of my sister. Yet she is as arrogant as only a human can be, fighting her own war where it has no place. She will not stand in our way if she wishes to be in any fine state to continue her own deluded war.''

They approached the building without unnecessary duress, walking through a war zone as only two shadows of death could. Ra silently dispatched Aliens as if it amused him, while Bane indiscriminately murdered, obviously enjoying the startled look on the Chitaries faces before they met there end. Soon they stood in the shadow of the Stark building, beneath a gaping hole in reality that belched forth Alien armies. The Fighting had passed by this place, Ra thought strangely, and he stepped out of the shadows towards the door of smashed glass. Ra stopped, he felt a change in the winds, this was to easy.

"Kill! Maim! Rape!" The sound of a war chant came, being heard over the sounds of gun fire and screaming. A large Ragon, of 7.7 of height, with a large sword, which he has named Slayer of Gods in hand, and stormgun in left, he commanded his troops against the Humans. A pysker sent a fire ball down at a group of humans, as another broke their bones with superstrength hits.

"Go job men! Teach the rabble a lesson about warfare!" Kuit yelled, firing a few rounds into a group of humans.He slashed at another with a pipe,hacking his head off, and killed another one with some form of rifle.Rounds bounced off his power armor.

"Ha! You think you can beat Kuit the spin breaker!" He screamed, firing his stormgun again.

Atropos followed, moving swiftly behind Ra, scanning the area for ambush or surprise assault. He shifted to the side of the Phoenix Lord, his grin wide and filled with murderous intent; "They leave their centre of operations unattended by nothing other than the weakest of their troops, they obviously believe us foolish. We should indulge them, but maybe not in a way were we are both slain in a pitiful ambush. I suggest that we draw them out of their fortress, and then spring our own trap."

''Once again your military sense is sound, how we should get to the top of the tower is anyone gue...'' Ra stopped mid sentence, sure he felt the wind 'physically' change this time. Ra turned in time to see several windborne figures raise above the chaotic battle field at begin to rise towards the top of the tower. Ra was then hit by the same gust of wind, threatening to carry him away, Ra held firm, Bane did the same. Then the thoughts of the young female drifted into Ra's mind, giving voice to intension, and better, a plan. Ra stopped struggling and let himself rise with them, bidding Atropos to do the same. ''It seems fortune or fate is with us Daemon, Come. I've always wanted to test the teachings of Khaine against a god, no matter how poor his dress sense.''

Raiden had managed to gain some control over the Leviathan and was able to pull it higher into the sky. Doktor had told him that there was a massive surge of energy at the top of this tower, near this tower happened to be a God. If Raiden could close the energy portal, then it might cause a cascade that could close all of the portals. Raiden whipped his mount to greater speeds, the massive beast flying high over the battlefield below.

There was Prophet, somewhere down there. Raiden knew that Armstrong was nearby, but there also seemed to be a few other Gods running around the battlefield. A heavily armoured soldier that stood eight feet tall was blasting lightning from his fingertips. A hammer welding maniac was also causing mayhem. Raiden had no interest in the on going battle, this wasn't his universe and he wanted to go home.

Raiden wasn't able to stop the creature, so it ploughed through the building sending massive chunks of concrete and glass tumbling to the floor. Raiden jumped off his steed and jammed his sword into the side of the wall. Once he got his grip he launched himself up, and began to run up the side of his tower, lightning burst from his feet. He was still a far distance to the top, but was making good progress.

A few minutes later he had reached the top of this Stark Tower. Surrounded by a forcefield was some kind of device blasting energy into the upper atmosphere. But standing right next to it was Loki himself.

The building shook, giving way to the impact of the leviathan as it embedded itself into stark tower, making Loki stumble as he directed his allies to hide for the upcoming confrontation.

Loki immediately turned to face the new comers, staff in his hands. "So you are the newcomers causing so much trouble in my new domain." Loki said, hiding his newfound allies out of sight with his magic.

"Loki, you must stop this madness, for all our sakes. Come home with me brother." Thor said.

"Home? So that I can be in your shadow again? No, these humans need me to lead them. They need a God to lord over them, to protect them from themselves." Loki smiled, twirling his second staff as he did so.

"Such statements are typically those utilized by Tyrants attempting to justify their deeds." Rose said with a frown.

"Ah, they told me that you had quite the mouth on you, little Goddess. Rose, isn't it? How you've consorted with darker powers to disaster before being forged anew into a mistress of the light" He said with a predatory grin on his face, Rose's face briefly flashing some disconcertation as she was taken aback by his knowledge of them. .

"Who's they?" John said, Prophet and Samus arriving on the building shortly as they converged around Loki.

"The ones who brought you here. Even greater than my old benefactor. They hunger beyond spaces, always looking for the newest feast to continue the cycle." Loki explained, gesturing grandly as if he were putting on a performance.

"What cycle?" The nanosuit clad prophet asked, the posthuman warrior clutching his gun as John prepared his hammer, glowing with a rainbow nimbus of energy.

"So it seems someone has a hammer greater than even Mjolnir. But what are you? A child elevated to godhood over the wind and breath by a cosmic game? An orphan confused by his hormones and power?" Loki snorted, John stepping back in confusion that someone he'd never met would know so much about him before turning to Prophet.

"You call yourself prophet, and yet you seek so many answers." Loki laughed as he turned to the Eldar.

"You may slay me, break me, torment me, But this won't be the end, this is just the beginning of a nightmare that shall span all things." He laughed, perhaps unhinged from what he had been exposed to.

"Your emperors, your ideals, your gods, they will fall before me, before them. You have nothing to frighten me." He cackled.

"Warriors of dying civilizations that don't have the drive to breed like proper cattle, servants of a dessicated corpse on a golden toilet blinded by dogma, nightmares of unknown gods known only to the obsessive, soldiers for a cause they don't believe in, mere children elevated to deityhood and orphaned by a simple game, a fighter for a country that doesn't trust him against forces he can't comprehend, an orphaned girl from a dead world raised by aliens and implanted with their genes only to be orphaned again, a spoiled, coddled brat of a brother. You all have nothing to oppose me with!" He said as his smile widened.

Atropos slinked forth on a tide of shadows and inky blood, almost snarling as he rose up and swung his clenched fist forward sending a series of searing magical bolts towards Loki, before casting a hex of weakness and despair upon the god; “Fear nothing do we? You make faulty claims marked by delusions Loki! Let the nightmares never end!” Bane screamed and cackled as he unleashed a barrage of sorcery and magic upon the god.

''To much talk'' Spoke Ra, he cared not that Loki new of him, in fact he cherished the thought. ''Leave him the capacity to speak, but do as you wish. I speak with experience, if a god can be created, it can be killed.'' Ra Swivelled the Maugetar and advanced upon Loki, firing a blistering fire storm of perfectly aimed shurikans directly into the god, creating a two pronged attack with Bane. But Loki was impossibly fast, faster then even Ra could follow, One sceptre raised a glimmering golden shield to defend again Banes inky tendrils, the other Loki spun in tight circles impossibly fast, intercepting every shurikan that came him way. Loki was laughing, Ra was laughing, This would be fun.

Raiden smiled and lifted his sword towards the new threat.
"Shall we see if Gods bleed?" He asked.

Savior teleported to the final battle, Yawning. She drew her sword.

"Hey, Loki, sweetie, yeah, Jrova is not pleased with her messing with his multiverse, so how about you stop being a prick, and leave his multiverse alone." She said Putting her left hand on her hips.

"A Angel?" Kuit said, looking at Savior.

Atropos's barrage of magical missiles had been parried by the gods own arcane abbilites with great skill, but Bane was simply testing waters. With a silver toothed grin he sung the words to a foul chant, his body twitching and shuddering as an unatrual light seeped from the Elemental, almost as if he was possessed. Bane's chant became a mix of gurgling, screaming and slurping as he threw his arms back and pulled Loki to the ground as he began his fiendish grip. The elemental felt the mana of Loki flow into him, draining his magical livestock while sending Loki's vivid asgardian nightmares into reality to tear at the living god....

"A Angel?" Kuit said, looking at Savior.

"You won't stop them. Megatron, 94712, I call upon you!" Loki said, prompting the two to appear once again, decloaking out of nowhere.

"Come forward you little insects." Megatron said, bullrushing those he perceived to be warriors primarily reliant on Strength, gunning for John, Prophet, and Thor. The massive detonation of his fusion cannon heralded a blue-white ball of nuclear energy as he swung a fist at them, overpowering and knocking aside Thor and Prophet as John caught a massive pincer swing from above, demonstrating unnatural strength

The Scrin, this time more wise of it's foe, then attacked the primarily cerebral opponents, lashing out at Rose, Authrix, and Bane via it's telekinetic bladed tendrils, forming telekinetic whips and sharpening them like swords while it's disintegration eye fired purple beams, sweeping them across the area as it sought vengeance for it's prior humiliation, it then called forth more buzzer swarms, the living razor shards swarming around it to form extra armor and weaponry.

"Now for the rest of you." Loki said, gunning for Raiden, Ra, Savior, and Samus, sending forth a spinning crescent arc of blue-white tesseract energy from his glowing staff while the other launched forth a fireball of asgardian power, the trickster god then forming a series of mirror images to confuse his opponents as he launched into his attack. Loki was however, beset by nightmares as he pulled back, his mirror images becoming more faded and distorted as he tried to shake off the mental violation from bane.

Raising his own kine shield, Authrix blunted the walker's assault with but a thought.
"This again? We have no time. You there," he spoke to Rose and Bane, all the while fending off the psychic predations of the foe. "I shall hold it back if you can kill it. Then I move for the robed one. I will not suffer such an affront to the Emperor's name."

"I believe we can handle this alien. His psychic offensives are very blunt and unsubtle. Deal with Loki, and remind him to never talk ill of my Mother again." She said as she halted the advances of the creature's telekinetic stabbing implements with a series of iron walls she conjured from thin air before advancing them forward.

"Surrender: Demanded. Injuries: Healed." It reported as Rose smirked after receiving some information from her foresight, that she was about to receive critical information.

"You, Rose, the Scrin are based on Tiberium, a dynamic crystalline proton lattice, highly radioactive, mutagenic, and assimilative. But it's weak to harmonic frequencies which disrupt the lattice." He said as he shot at Megatron's leg, currently stomping down on Thor while John was holding off both of the Decepticon Tyrant's arms.

With a wave of her wand, she opened her mouth and let loose a piercing, magic enhanced sonic shriek that covered the Scrin in a series of concentric sonic waves, causing the already disoriented creature to immediately begin spasming as cracks formed in it, making it wobble around as it stumbled and eventually fell off stark tower.

"He's not dead, but he won't be bothering us any time soon."

The carnage ensuing in this realm has gotten the attention of the Blood God Khorne, and he was pleased. If there's one thing he likes more than anything, it's when large numbers of mortals die in one place at one time.

Thinking that he could make some contribution to this pandemonium himself, he tasks his sacred executioner, Skulltaker, to lead a daemonic warband into the realm to spill blood and claim skulls in his name.

There were many powerful forces to be faced here, but Skulltaker always loves a challenge. Mounting a Blood Throne Chariot, he raises his blade, rallying his regiment of Bloodletters, Bloodcrushers, Flesh Hounds, and Skull Cannoneers to battle before riding in the lead through the portal that Khorne opened for them out of the Realm of Chaos and into this new war-torn world.

The lesser daemons immediately got to work on the basic soldiers, no-name disposable heroes who the warp spawn sliced, decapitated, dismembered, and disemboweled in a blur of red. Skulltaker himself rode forth on his chariot seeking a more worthy opponent for himself, cutting down any lesser mortals who got in his way. He cared not who the opponent was or for what they fought for; he was there for one thing only:

Skulls for the Skullthrone!

Raiden threw a knife at Loki as he made his attack forward. Doktor had warned him to be careful as Gods can be a little bit unpredictable in their actions. But Raiden felt somewhat safe fighting along side an Armoured Grim Reaper, an Angel and a soldier in a power suit. Due to the fact that Raiden only had his blade, he would have to close the distance. But even at that short range, there was a good chance that Raiden had the Edge on Loki in pure speed.

Hacking and slashing, Raiden was able to put Loki on the back foot with his tremendous speed. The Asgardian has no true way to deflect the power of the blows. However, Loki sent out a massive psychic attack which flung Raiden back and sent him skidding along the floor. Shaking his head down, Raiden marched back in again. He had no intention of killing Loki, the man may be psychotic but it seemed to be more to the fact that he was mental unhinged rather than being plain evil.

Raiden forced Loki to block a blow with one of his Staffs, which Raiden then took advantage off. With no actual cutting blade, Raiden forced the staff away and then made a grab for it. After forcibly heaving the staff away from Loki, accompanied by a almighty kick to the groin. Raiden grabbed the staff and held it over his knee.

"Don't do it! Don't break the staff!" Loki shouted as he jumped forward for it, but it was too late and Raiden cracked the staff in two.
