Ethan knew he wouldn't be fast enough to stop the blast in time. So if it will turned out to be straight strike. then it would be their certain death. So he was going to use the chance to get rid of zee once and for all. many lifes are at stake here after all.
But zee turn out to be more cunning, instead of shooting them directly. He shot at the building behind them, making all the rumble of biulding to fall down on the women and child. Giving ethan enogh time to save them.
Without hasitating for evn a second. Ethan turn his spear in big round shild and dashed toward them. With what little aura he had left, he enhanced his strength to face the incoming impact falling biulding. Soon all the rumble fell on ethan's shiled with full force.
He was able to halt it but shouted in fierce voice "runnn..." The Women gave him one last glance and ran away with her child in her embrace.
Without staying behind to watch, zee had immediately escaped. Ethan was fallen on his knee but finally his shaking hand gave out and all that rumble came down burying ethan under them.
Captain saw pillar of Blue light fall down from silver ship, taking zee back to the ship. He had also seen ethan got buried into the rumble. he wanted to chase after zee but he was already gone and he can't ignore ethan.
But before he began to dig a hand come out of it and captain grabbed the hand and help ethan out and give him his shoulder to stand.
Ethan didn't refuse captain's hand. he was in desperate need for rest. he was barley keeping himself conscious. The falling biulding was final hamner on the nail. He was wrecked right now.
At that point natasha told everyone that she can close the portal. but tony said that the nuclear missile was coming their way and he knew where to send it.
Then after blast on otherside of the portal every one waited for tony and when everyone gave up and about to close the portal tony fall out of it and hulk caught him. Thor and hulk were standing beside tony and portal was closed completely.
Tony was unconscious and his arc reactor stopped working but Tony walk up by hulks roar. Every one sighed in relief.
Blackwidow and halwkeye joined captain and ethan. They try to make out ethans face since his mask was half broken. but somthing else took their attention away. Arround them Every leviathan and chitauri started to fall down. One after other becoming lifeless.
Just when everyone thought that they had won. a big flash of light came in their view and with it came the shock wave that shook the whole new york.
Everyone closed their eyes because of that flash of light and after few seconds, when they opened their eyes. they all freezed on their places with horrified expressions. they can't believe what they were seeing. a big part of newyork was gone, completely destroyed without a single trash. Leaving a one big crater behind. Crater and smoke that's all there was left.
People started to run without thinking, any direction was fine as long as it's taking them away from here.
But they holted when they heard a voice. Without fear leaving there faces, they show a big silver spaceship moving, the voice was coming from it. loud and clear for every one to hear.
"the destruction you just saw was just the start. i still got two more. watch your end with your own eyes....HAHAHAHA..."
When Ethan heard the voice. Anger flared up inside him. He recognized th voice immediately, it was zee.
Hearing those words, Thor tried to blast the ship with his thunder but as before it didn't even reached the ship and stopped by barrier.
Seeing that even fierce thunder wasn't able to panatrate the ship barrier of the ship. Everyone lost their hope. Even captain let his shiled slip from his hand. some were crying, some were praying. While some were too terrified to even move, some were looking at the sky as they already accepted their fate.
Everyone not only in newyork but all around the world. Everyone that were watching this on their tv, mobile or computer. They all got shivers when the silver ship began to charge again.
Everyone but ethan...
Witnessing the previous destruction. Ethan got angry on zee, on himself for letting him go. His anger made him ignore about all his pain and tiredness.
He looked at the silver ship getting charged. Ready for it's second blast. he took few deep breath and left captain's support. he throw bottle of medicine at blackwidow. She caught it and frown and asked "is one would go to heaven if after taking this."
Ethan didn't reply and started to walk forward. He didn't want to talk, he didn't knew if he will be getting out alive from here but if death is going to come anyway why not try one last time.
Black widow yelled from behind "Seriously what i do with it ??"
Ethan turned to look at her and said "you will know..." and started to walk again.
Hearing that captain and blackwidow looked at each other confused but didn't said anything. Well who cares, They were literally just minutes away from there end here.
Black widow silently watched ethan walked away... untill only thing visible remain was golden lotus mark on his back. but suddenly a red glow made her close her eyes. not only her but other steve and hawkeye also had to close their eyes. Soon, The red light covered the whole surrounding like before but this time it was more intence, much more intense.
