After successfully travelling to Earth and stealing the tesseract, Loki met with the
Other, a loyal servant of Thanos, and was threatened with severe consequences if he
failed in his mission to conquer earth and deliver the infinity stones.
When Loki then returned to his mind controlled Henchmen, Dr. Selvig explained they needed
Iridium in order to finish the portal to transport the Chitauri to Earth, and so they travelled
to Germany, where Loki created a distraction that would allow Hawk Eye to steal what they
required.
Falling for his plan, Captain America confronted Loki in a brief street battle before Iron
Man arrived prompting his surrender.
On Asgard, Thor was sent to find his brother, but with the bifrost destroyed, Odin had to
summon Dark Energy to make the journey possible.
Once arrived on Earth, Thor tracked down Loki who was being transported aboard a SHIELD
quinjet, only to storm in and take his brother without permission.
Flying to a secluded spot Thor and Loki started arguing but soon Iron Man arrived, attacking
Thor to take back their prisoner.
Captain America soon broke up the fight, and they agreed to take Loki into SHIELD custody
together.
Once aboard the Helicarrier, they put Loki in a prison cell designed for the Hulk, while
Tony Stark and Bruce Banner studied the Sceptre.
However the Mind stone within the weapon started to affect the emotions of the people nearby,
becoming hostile and aggressive in their behaviour.
When Captain America discovered a number of weapon crates on board and confronted Nick
Fury about the real reason they wanted the Tesseract, the DIRECTOR admitted they wanted
it to make powerful weapons for the defense of Earth.
Steve Rogers and Tony Stark began to argue as well yet all the dissention only worked
to further Loki’s secret plan, with his people soon infiltrating the Hellicarrier
to create a perilous situation that would unleash the Hulk and allow for his escape
from captivity.
His plan was then largely successful, as Hawk Eye and other controlled Agents attacked them,
taking out one of their engines, greatly increasing Bruce Banner’s levels of stress and anger,
causing him to transform into the Hulk.
Captain American and Iron man went to work repairing the engine while Hulk chased after
Black Widow and went on a rampage before jumping out of the Hellicarrier to attack a quinjet
shooting his way.
After destroying the jet, Hulk fell through the air to crash landing without injury and
transform back into Bruce Banner.
Having barely survived her encounter with the Hulk, Black Widow confronted Hawk Eye,
knocking him unconscious and breaking the hold over his mind.
Loki meanwhile was freed by his people, allowing him to trick Thor into entering the prison
before being confronted by Phil Coulson wielding a Destroyer Armor Prototype Gun.
However it was soon revealed he was pointing the weapon at an illusion, allowing for Loki
to sneak up and stab him with the recovered Sceptre.
Thor’s prison cell was then released from the Helicarrier, leaving him to crash into
the earth, but he managed to break the glass and escape before the impact.
Although Phil Coulson’s injuries were severe, he managed to remain conscious long enough
to talk Loki into position to be shot with the Prototype Gun.
Loki was temporarily injured by the weapon, but was still able to make his escape while
the rest of the Avengers struggled to keep the helicarrier flying.
Although another engine was sabotaged, the first was repaired allowing them to stay in
the air.
When the battle was over, Nick Fury revealed that Phil Coulson was dead, causing Tony Stark
and Steve Rogers to put their differences aside, in order to focus on capturing Loki
and avenging their fallen comrade.
Meanwhile on the other side of the world, War Machine continued to fight ten rings on
his own.
Although he became aware of the situation in New York, he had a battle of his own to
fight in Hong Kong, against terrorists armed with black market stark technology.
Although Tony Stark figured out that Loki would be at Stark Tower, he was too late to
stop the portal from opening, creating a gateway from which the Chitauri army invaded, beginning
the Battle of New York.
Loki then tried to kill Stark by throwing him out the widow, but JARVIS, Tony’s artificial
intelligence system launched the newly created Mark VII Iron Man Suit to save his life, and
prepare him for the fight.
As the rest of the Avengers started to arrive, Captain America, Black Widow and Hawk Eye
engaged the first wave of Chitauri and helped to organize law enforcement to create a perimeter
and evacuate civilians.
Soon Thor, Bruce Banner and Iron Man arrived to join them, defeating a Chitauri leviathan
after Banner transformed into the Hulk.
With the Avengers Assembled, Captain America took on the role of their leader, ordering
Hawk Eye to the roof tops calling out patterns of attack and stray chitauri, while Iron Man
controlled the perimeter, ensuring none made it further out into the city.
Thor was sent to bottleneck the portal, using his lightening to destroy as many as he could
to lessen their reinforcements.
Captain America and Black Widow then remained fighting off enemies on the ground, while
Hulk was simply sent to smash.
Although they were destroying many chitauri, their numbers were to great and it was clear
they needed to shut down the portal, and so Black Widow made her way to the roof of Stark
Tower where she spoke to Dr Selvig, who’d been knocked unconscious and was now no longer
under Loki’s control, and went to work trying to destroy the portal he’d made.
Meanwhile the Hulk defeated Loki, by pummelling him into the ground, allowing the rest of
them to focus on ending the invasion.
Unfortunately, the world security council did not trust their ability to handle the
situation, and so went over Director Fury’s head to order a nuclear missile strike against
New York.
Iron Man then flew to the weapon and redirected it into the portal where together they travelled
to the other side allowing for the missle to destroy the Chitauri home ship.
Black Widow and Dr. Selvig then used Loki’s sceptre to destroy the portal, with Iron man
just barely making it back through.
However his suit was without power and so he fell to his doom only to be saved by the
Hulk who caught him before he hit the groud.
After successfully saving the world from an alien invasion, the Avengers went to a shwarma
restaurant where War Machine at last arrived, discovering he was too late to take part in the battle of New York.
