Survival

The Avengers were in the heat of battle, and the teamwork—or lack of it—between Thor, Hulk, and Tony Stark reached a boiling point. Charlie , who was controlling their actions, watched as their raw power and clashing personalities turned the fight into a chaotic struggle. Despite their strengths, the team's dynamic was messy at best, especially when Thor and Hulk teamed up. 

Thor and Hulk were undeniably strong, but they weren't exactly known for their brains. While Thor might have been a bit stronger than Hulk at his calmest, Hulk's strength grew exponentially with his anger. However, their combined intelligence didn't do much to help their situation. Still, when these two unleashed their full might, the results were destructive. The tension earlier had triggered Hulk's "anger buff," a power boost fueled by his rage, and this meant his punches carried even more devastating force.

From Hulk's perspective, his enormous green fists pounded against the machine's shell. His first punch landed with the force to shatter mountains, but something strange happened—it was as if he hit water. The impact made a dull, muted sound, like punching a thick stone wall. The machine barely flinched.

Hulk's punches were known to pack hundreds of tons of force, sometimes even more when his rage hit its peak. Yet, the machine didn't react the way it should have. It wasn't torn apart or even pushed back. Instead, it absorbed the hits, leaving Charlie confused. After a few more attacks, Charlie noticed something unusual. For a brief moment after one of Hulk's punches, the machine's shell seemed to dent slightly, as though it was made of some kind of elastic material. But the dent vanished almost instantly, and the shell bounced back to its original shape.

It became clear to Charlie that this machine had some kind of advanced technology that could neutralize force. Hulk kept attacking, his fists smashing into the machine like a hammer striking a wall of water. Suddenly, the machine retaliated. Without warning, it released a powerful invisible shockwave. The force hit Hulk square in the chest, sending him flying backward. He roared in frustration as he smashed through trees, rocks, and mountains, disappearing into the distance.

Charlie quickly swapped control to Thor. As Thor stepped into battle, the air crackled with tension. A mechanical arm shot out from the machine like a silver snake, moving faster than Thor could react. He barely managed to dodge by using Mjolnir, his enchanted hammer, to pull himself sideways. The mechanical arm retracted just as quickly as it had appeared, leaving no sign of where it had come from. The machine was full of tricks, and its attacks were impossible to predict.

Meanwhile, Ant-Man was trying a different approach. He shrank down to his smallest size and zipped around the machine, searching for a weak spot or an entrance. But no matter how closely he examined it, the machine's surface was seamless, with no gaps to exploit. Even his Pym particle darts, which could shrink or enlarge objects, failed to make a dent. The machine seemed impervious to every attack.

Realizing he couldn't sneak inside, Ant-Man decided to go big. He transformed into a giant, towering over the battlefield, his footsteps shaking the ground as he marched toward the machine. But before he could strike, another mechanical arm lashed out. This one moved with terrifying speed and precision, wrapping around Ant-Man's neck and slamming him into a nearby mountain. Rocks tumbled down as the mountain shook under the impact.

Desperate to escape, Ant-Man shrank back to his smallest size. While this freed him from the arm's grip, he found himself trapped in an invisible force field that the machine had deployed. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free.

Thor roared in frustration and summoned a thunderstorm. Lightning crackled around him as he hurled Mjolnir with all his might. A powerful tornado wrapped in lightning spiraled toward the machine. But just as the attack seemed unstoppable, the machine released a strange burst of energy. The tornado unraveled mid-air, its winds and lightning scattering harmlessly. Thor was caught in the backlash and sent flying backward, slamming into the ground with a loud crash.

The machine had taken on Hulk, Thor, and Ant-Man all at once, and it had defeated each of them with ease. It hadn't even moved from its spot, as though it didn't consider them a real threat. Its defenses were so advanced that it seemed to repel every kind of attack without effort.

Charlie tightened his grip on the controls. For the first time, he realized just how powerful this opponent was. The Avengers, Earth's mightiest heroes, were being outmatched. He knew they would have to use every bit of their strength, skill, and teamwork to stand a chance against the machine. This wasn't just a battle—it was a fight for survival.
