"Wow, it's so weird how you run into people at the airport."
Braedey slowly strolled towards Iron Man and War Machine, the rest of his new team and Bucky already in position. The brunette had faked trying to take a helicopter that was disabled by Tony, but it didn't matter. The trap had been set, and the Avengers were walking straight into it.
Iron Man's helmet pulled back as Tony glanced at Rhodey. "Don't you think that's weird?"
"Definitely weird." Rhodey replied back.
Braedey just stood there, saying nothing.
"Okay, kid's starting to really creep me out." Rhodey commented to Tony.
Captain America jumped over the luggage crate and lands a few metres from the shapeshifter. He noticed the hybrid. "Hey, Braedey. You're alright?"
Braedey starts to show an evil smirk. "Hey. I'm still standing."
"Ross gave me 36 hours to bring you in." Tony said as he walked behind Rhodey to his other side. "That was 24 hours ago. Can you help a friend out?"
"You're trying to arrest me again? Funny, I was told the exact same thing." Braedey said.
"Your judgement is askew." Tony scowled, anger now starting to build up inside him. "Your new friend killed innocent people yesterday."
"Compare that to the blood that's now on your hands. You're all under arrest, Avengers. Your reign is over." Braedey states as he clenched his fists, now forming them into metal, ready to throw down.
"Braedey?" The robot shapeshifter turned to see Natasha standing a few metres away, keeping her distance from her enemy. "You know what's about to happen. Do you really want to punch your way out of this one?"
"Yeah, but unlike last time, I've brought in backup." Braedey smirked. "You're gonna love this guy. UNDEROOS!!" He called.
Something suddenly latched onto Steve's shield, taking it out of his grip as the same material bounded his hands together. A figure in red and blue landed on the cart next to the group, holding Cap's shield in one hand, and supporting his landing with the other. He lifted his head, the animatedly eyes zeroing on them.
"Nice entrance there, kid." Braedey complimented.
"Thanks. Well, I could've stuck the landing a bit better. It's.... just the new suit." Peter looked up from his suit and held out his arm, shaking his hand. "Well, it's nothing, Braedey. It's-Its perfect, thank you."
"You're welcome. I prefer the previous one. It's better." Braedey dismissed.
"Okay. Cap.... Captain." Peter now saluted the enhanced soldier, pointing to his chest at the spider symbol. "Big fan, I'm Spider-Man."
"Okay, kid. Can you be quiet for a second?" Braedey asked as he was then interrupted by the hyperactive teen.
"Hey everyone." Spider-Man waves as he scanned the adults.
"You've been busy, haven't you, backstabbers?" Braedey said.
"And you've gone completely insane." Tony countered, his face hardening. "Going on the run. Rescuing both Pietro and Wanda. Always showing intimidation and violence. I'm trying to keep..." Tony then lowered his voice and calmly spoke. "I'm trying to keep you from tearing the Avengers apart."
"You did that when you all turned your backs on mankind." Braedeh replied. "Scorcher and the others were right all along. You and the rest of your traitors, you're a concoction for the apocalypse. A ticking time bomb waiting for the trigger. And Ross is the spark, and you just let him run free. You really think you can control me like a puppet or a toy? You cannot. This is my world now, and I don't play by your rules anymore." Transformer paused for a few moments. "It's time to show you what it means to be a monster."
Black Widow backed away slightly in fear, she didn't like where this was going.
"Alright, I'm done. You're gonna turn Barnes over and you're gonna come with us. Now!" Tony exclaimed as he's done with Transformer's threats; the shapeshifter wasn't listening to him. "Because it's just us!"
Braedey's Comms crackled as it connected to Riri's; she's flying over the airport in her own suit as she had located the transport. "We found it. The Quinjet's in hangar five, north runway." Her voice alerted Braedey, who smirked.
"You're right, Tony. It's just us. Me and my new teammates." Braedey announced.
That caught the Avengers completely off guard as Kate, who was with Tandy, in one of the multi-storey car parks, fired an arrow containing smoke to slow the Avengers down. Tandy was now wearing a white jumpsuit with grey highlights, grey fingerless gloves, and white boots.
Tony reacted faster as his helmet closed around his face, protecting himself as he spotted where the shot came from.
Spider-Man suddenly got thrown back by a kick from Sam Wilson who grabbed the shield, and handed it back to Steve who immediately took it. "Here you go, Cap."
"Thanks, Sam."
"Aw, great." Tony commented as he spotted both Kate and Tandy making a run for it. "Alright, there's two in the parking deck. One of them's Bishop, I'm gonna go and grab her." Tony then took off for the parking lot. "Rhodey, you wanna take Braedey?
"Got two in the terminal. Barnes and an unknown hostile." Rhodey reported.
"Bucky's mine!" Steve was already breaking into a sprint as Rhodey flew forward. Braedey immediately reacted by transforming into Magnetmus, using his magnetism to throw both Captain America and War Machine back, hard.
"Braedey, what shall I do?" Peter now asked through the comms.
"What we discussed, kid. Keep your distance, web 'em. We've got to wear them out before luring them to hangar five. That's the killbox, and the plan. Go!" Braedey called.
"Okay, copy that." Peter replied.
Peter now started swinging around to do what he can to help. He wanted to show Transformer, a hero he looked up to since Stark Expo, that he was ready to step it up to the next level, and he wasn't alone in this. Braedey brought him here, alone with four others with a bit of information, to stop the Avengers because they were now a threat to mankind.
Peter was hesitant to go at first, but after being inspired by Optimus Prime, one of Transformer's forms to fight for right of free will for all sentient beings, Peter gained the courage to go with Kate and join the fight against the Avengers with Transformer.
~*~*~
Back with Braedey, he turned into Leobreaker who easily caught up to Steve and threw him away from the terminal, the super-soldier doing some backflips to slow down his momentum as he looked at the teenager with disgust and anger.
"Move, kid. I won't ask a second time." Steve glared at the Predacon.
"Lemme tell you something, Captain America! You started this war, you'll forgive me if I FINISH IT!!" Leobreaker yelled as he goes on the attack by doing double air kicks, Steve blocking with his shield as he and Transformer duke it out.
~*~*~
In the terminal, Bucky and Teddy, who's still wearing his casual clothes, but now with a purple t-shirt and black jacket as the two make a run for their lives with Falcon gaining on them. Teddy's eyes widened in surprise as Falcon flies alongside them and immediately spots them.
"What the hell is that thing, Bucky?" Teddy exclaimed.
"Your first time seeing crazy things?!" Bucky asked loudly as he ran beside the hybrid.
"Yeah! First time." Teddy replied.
Falcon then crashed through the window, kicking Teddy away before catching the punch from Bucky who tried to help Hulkling. Bucky glared at Sam. "Why are you doing this, Sam? Betraying your country, your brothers!"
"You wouldn't want to know, Bucky. Transformer will die for..." Sam suddenly for tackled by Teddy who yelled, while growing his own set of wings before taking flight.
"You have the right to remain silent, fly boy!" Teddy yelled as he punched Sam in the face, who responded by kicking the hybrid away as the two flyers chased after each other, Sam firing his guns and missiles at Hulking who dodged at once.
Sam landed on the concrete as he dodged a metal panel, courtesy of Bucky who hides behind a pillar. "Hey, Night King. You dropped something." Sam called out as he shockingly sent the metal board at Bucky who quickly dodged it.
Sam suddenly got tackled by Teddy who grew claws to disable Sam's wing pack. Sam groaned as he crashed through a small shop set up and landed on the ground. Sam scrambled to his feet as Bucky kicked him, causing Sam to fall to the ground who cringed in pain.
Teddy landed and looked down. "Those wings carbon-fibre?" He asked.
"You have wings growing out of you?" Sam glared at Hulkling.
"I'm part Skrull, part Kree. Consider yourself grounded, Sam Wilson. You're done." Teddy glared as he then jogged off with Bucky close behind him, the Winter Soldier continuing to look at Teddy in surprise in reaction to the reveal that Hulkling is an alien.
"So Braedey was right, you are an alien." Bucky said.
"Yeah, I come in peace." Teddy smirked back, doing the Vulcan hand reference.
~*~*~
Speaking of Braedey, he was still fighting Captain America who's surprisingly keeping up with the robot shapeshifter who was Leobreaker and Arcee previously, and who's now Optimus as Captain America realised the Autobot leader's swords were basically indestructible. The super-soldier dodged the blades before Optimus swung his swords down, Steve raising his shield to block the hit. The robot shapeshifter was clearly winning the stalemate as he pushed back.
Rhodey saw an opening and readies his War Hammer, a baton powered by non-lethal electricity. "Sorry, kid. This won't kill you. But it ain't gonna tickle either." Rhodey then flew in for a strike, but Optimus kicked Steve away before using his swords to block the strike.
~*~*~
Back with Kate and Tandy, their escape route was cut off by Tony who used rockets to destroy several vehicles and stopping the female heroes.
Tony started to hover with his left arm raised, his repulsor ready to shoot. "Kate, I think you've hurt Clint's feelings."
"We trusted you. You betrayed us." Kate stated loudly.
"Okay, first. That was an exaggeration. Second, we did it for a reason." Tony said as Kate turned her head to the side in reaction. Tony then noticed the blonde girl. "Who are you? White Canary knockoff?"
"Wish I was. Name's Dagger. Catchy?" Tandy answers with a small smirk.
"Uh, no. Never heard of you." Tony shook his head, never hearing of Dagger before as he suddenly fires his repulsors, destroying the arrows that Kate fired while he was distracted. "Nice try, Hawkeye 2.0."
Kate just smirked. "Gotcha."
Suddenly, cars started flying out of the car park, all caused by Dagger who created lassos made of light. Tony tried to get away, but gets caught in a car pile up as several more vehicles landed on him.
Kate cringed her face in reaction. "Ooohh. You think he's alright, light-girl?"
"He's Iron Man, for crying out loud. He'll be fine." Tandy replied. "But I also can't believe Tyrone's not here to see this. He's gonna be so jealous."
"Tandy!" Kate reminded to Tandy, stopping her from ranting. Tandy realised her mistake, quickly apologises, and the two jogged off at once.
~*~*~
Meanwhile, Transformer had turned into Swamptread. Using his arms to extend out vine-like tentacles, Swamptread pulled Rhodey out of the sky and threw him to the ground, breaking the War Hammer in the process. Transformer then swatted Steve away as Rhodey got up.
"Great." Rhodey commented as he tossed the War Hammer away. Natasha then joined him as she immediately spotted Swamptread.
"INCOMING!!" A small tanker suddenly comes flying towards both Rhodey and Natasha as Swamptread ducked out of the way. Natasha quickly dodged out of the way as Rhodey wasn't fast enough.
"Oh, come on!!" Rhodey yelled before getting hit by the tanker as it exploded.
Swamptread turned and looked up to see Riri in her Ironheart armour as she was the one who threw the tanker. The armour has a streamlined shape and form, while having red, black, and gold armour plating, and the faceplate is long and doesn't have a mouth piece.
"Oh man, I thought that was a water truck." Riri said as he noticed Transformer's face. "Uh, sorry."
"I'm okay, nice by the way." Swamptread thanked her as the two heroes now run off.
~*~*~
Natasha struggled to get herself back up as Tony landed not far from her. Rhodey was okay, despite the fact getting hit by a tanker truck. He was now mad as they were all having their butts kicked by teenagers. "Alright, now I'm pissed!"
Tony helped Natasha up. "Is this part of the plan?" She asked sarcastically.
"Well, my plan was to go easy on him. Wanna switch it up?" Tony answered.
~*~*~
Tandy and Kate come running around the corner as the archer then spotted the Quinjet still parked in hangar five. "There's our killbox." Kate reminded to Tandy as she pointed at the aircraft. The entire hangar was rigged with chloroform gas by both Bucky and Braedey to knock out the Avengers, making transport to the EDI much easier.
The two females were then joined by Spider-Man, who fought Black Widow, Teddy and Bucky, Riri and Braedey as the team race for the hangar. They would've made it, but a golden energy beam stopped them in their tracks. It drew a line on the ground as the teens looked up to see Vision, hovering in the air as he descended down slowly.
"Mr. Martin, I know you believe what you're doing is right. But, for the collective good, you must surrender now." Vision declared as Tony, Steve, Natasha, Sam, Rhodey, and Clint Barton now join him.
Two sides faced off against each other. Veterans vs newbies. Team Avengers VS Team Transformer. The greatest showdown in the history of the world was about to begin.
Braedey glared at his former allies, knowing what was now going to happen in the next 30 seconds.
"What do we do now, Braedey?" Riri asked.
Braedey turned to his new teammates, all of them looking to him, then he looked back at all the Avengers. "We fight." He states.
"This isn't gonna end well." Teddy mumbled as the two teams walked, then jogged, and then sprinted at full speed as the two sides clashed.
The Civil War has officially begun.
