T'Challa, Steve, and Natasha all walk forward to meet the two who have come up to the barrier while the rest of us stand ready and on guard.

When they come back towards us Bucky asks, "They surrender?"

"Not exactly." Steve says.

Alien creatures begin to crawl and scramble through the tree line, running over one another.

"What the hell?" Bucky asks.

"Looks like we pissed her off." Is all Steve says.

The aliens crash into the barrier, an arm or a leg will break through only to be cut off as the shield fixes itself.

"They're killing themselves." Natasha says.

Slowly some of them manage to break to break through the barrier. The men shout in Xhosa and personal shields go up. T'Challa gives a command and they begin to fire on the aliens. I take flight and fly over them, driving a spear through one and then another whenever they get too close to the front line of men.

Rhodey blasts a lot of them with bombs and the onslaught subsides for a moment and I land again. The creatures begin to start to run around the edge of the barrier seeing as they can't get through in one spot, not for lack of trying.

Banner speaks up on the com, "Cap if these things circle the perimeter and get in behind us there's nothing between them and Vision."

"Then we better keep 'em in front of us." Cap responds.

"How do we do that?" Okoye asks.

"We open the barrier." T'Challa responds and gives commands to open a section of the barrier. T'Challa shouts in Xhosa and the personal shields go down. He steps forward and shouts, "Wakanda forever!" As his mask goes up and we all take off.

I try and keep myself positioned near Bucky during the fight but it's messy and and brutal. These aliens are just creatures driven by madness, there is no thought or reason just the instinct to attack and fight. Four arms, two legs and sharp gnashing teeth coming at us from all angles. There is so many we are quickly becoming overrun despite our best efforts.

A blast comes from the sky as Thor and two others touch down to help fight. Lightning blasts shake the ground and take out dozens at a time. With the onslaught like it is I can't stay close to Bucky. When we finally seem to have a handle on things giant metal spiked wheels tear up from the ground. And we get the call to fall back. The giant wheels rip through the ground until Wanda comes down and uses her powers to hold them in the air before sending them crashing into the ground."

Sam comes in on the coms. "Hey guys, we got a vision situation."

"Somebody gets to Vision!" Cap shouts on the coms.

"I got him." Banner says flying in the massive iron man suit.

"On my way." Wanda says.

"Guy! Vision needs backup now!" Banner yells.

"I'm on it." I say ripping my spear from the back of the creature. I give Bucky a nod and he sends one back before I take off.

By the time I get to where vision and the other alien is he already has run a sword through Vision's side. He falls to the ground and I dive down kicking into the side of the creature and planting myself between them. Steve is not far behind me and he yells for Vision to get out.

The being lunges for Steve and I smack him across the head with the side of the spear, using it more like a baseball bad than a spear. Still, it does the job and it stumbles backward falling to the ground. Not for long through as it is already getting back up.

"Get him out of here!" Steve yells to me.
