Attack on New York (All US teams on deck!)

[ngm_villains]

The Avengers will arrive in Time's Square in short order. They will see Frost Giants moving out quickly. There are a few standing guard over something but there is nice and snow shooting up into the air so it isn't obvious right away that it is the Cask of Winter.

But there are many Frost Giants gathered here. It is an invading army.

They call that an army?

Kristoff stares, and presses a few triggers, beginning the orderly march from the embassy. And the phalanx (Lowercase! Lowercase!) forms, and the shooting starts.

Doombots. Latverian for 'army.'

Imaginauts, ho!

[aqua_gambit]

Remi didn't mind the cold. Heat dried him out, chill did nothing until he was surrounded in a block of ice. Though he hadn't run into Frost Giants before. This was time for improv leading.

"Alright, Imaginauts. We secure everything to the Pier. Then we roll forward. We make sure we secure what we leave behind." He floated barefoot in the air.

"Jacob, hit low. I'll hit high. Everyone else, try for the middle."

Damn winter. Mary could practically feel the cold in her bones. Being mostly reptillian did not make for a comfortable time in these temperatures.

She quickly shifted into a wooly mammoth.

"You got it, boss."

[clobberin_kid]

Neither rain, nor snow, nor... you know, whatever... kept Jacob from hitting things. Especially big, ugly things that were invading his city. "Aye, aye captain. Making with the hitting."

He charged for the nearest invader, rocky fists swinging.

[realstarpower]

"Not that I'm average, but sure. Hey. Middle," Ryan nodded. Blasts of sparkling purple cosmic energy - looking more harmless than they actually were - shot out from his fingertips, hitting the nearest possible invaders.

[innameof]

"Just go for it Ryan." Griffin pops his knuckles then uses his ability to bounce using his shields to jump up and punch a Frost Giant that Jacob is going after in the gut.

[ngm_villains]

The Frost Giants who came this way attack. They move to strike at Griffin and kick Jacob away. As Remi and Mary have not yet engaged them the Frost Giants ignore them.

[aqua_gambit]

"Ignore me at your peril," Remi warned dramatically. He couldn't help it. His royal ego couldn't take the slight of being ignored. He was the Crown Prince of Atlantis. He was always a threat. Except in bed.

He made an invisible lance out of his force fields. He grabbed the handle and flew at the Frost Giant trying to swat his team. He aimed for an eye. Or a nostril. Either would be painful wherever the pointy end of the lance went.

[stormy_skrull]

Still in the form of a mammoth, Mary charged the nearest Giant.

[clobberin_kid]

Jacob ducked the kick and tried to grab hold of the foot. If he was lucky, he could trip the thing and bring it down.

[realstarpower]

"I feel as though I need a battlecry," Ryan said as he shot bolts of cosmic energy at the nearest Frost Giant. "Like, it's bolting time! except with less sounding-like-I'm-running-away action."

[innameof]

"Why not 'Not the face!'? It would confuse them," Griffin offered that idea up as he ducks under the giant sized fist aimed his way.

[ngm_villains]

Griffin is not fast enough to see the other hand. He is grabbed and flung far down the Pier.

Jacob has a good hold on one giant. There is some confused wiggling from said giant. Then something amazing happens. Mary hits the giant and he falls over.

Ryan though has an axe thrown at his face.

Remi tears the nostril of that giant open and he bellows in rage as blood pours out from the new wound.

[comic_awareness]

The Avengers were on the scene. "Remember the plan!" Bruce shouted, as he flew at the lead of their formation. "Hit them with whatever heat we can, focus on getting civilians out of the way, protect Erin after she puts the hammer on them."

[lil_hulk]

Jay remembered his part of the plan was to be smaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaashing! He bounded toward some Frost Giants.

"Spoooooooooooooooooon me notintheface!" He flailed his arms for attention. No giant would ignore him for long. He'd make sure of it!

[the4thblackknight]

Since Marcus was fresh out of heat, he concentrated on getting civilians out of the path of the oncoming horde while he kept an eye on his teammates. Just in case.

[vincent_amora]

Bruce had enough more than enough energy at his disposal, as did Roxanne. Jay however, in Vincent's opinion, needed more than just sinew and confidence. He stabs his staff into the ground, hastily drawing a rune in ash, and then speaking an incantation to activate it. The ash solidifies and then takes flight, affixing itself like a massive tattoo on Jay's back. His hands suddenly burst into flame, although Jay himself does not burn.

He just rolls his eyes at the Doombots. The Ultron models from back home had been so much more tasteful.

[avengingwarbird]

Heat. Roxie could give off plenty of that. She wasn't using her photon blasts anymore - that was a little too Kree for her these days - but the waves of anger that she felt, bubbling and boiling inside of her, the same rage that caused that dark, furious red aura around her...that she could put to good use.

She whirled in mid-air, forcing heat into the glowing spiked mace that she used to bash the Frost Giants with.

[asgardian_angel]

Nicky swooped up and around the Frost Giants. Under normal circumstances, he would be trying to make peace but...well, with the Frost Giants, even Nicky knew that trying to find a peaceable solution was an impossibility.

"Sorry," he whispered softly before bringing his axe down on one of the Giants.

[wateronthebrain]

Then Erin does her thing. First she focuses on all of the moisture and makes sure that the allies they have gathered will not be effected. Then around the Frost Giants she starts to make the water molecules move faster and faster. It's going to take a little bit but she will boil them.

[ngm_villains]

The Frost Giants begin to engage the Avengers.

One moves to swing a big heavy ax at Bruce.

A spear is Thrown at Roxanne.

Civilians feel comforted by Marcus and can be guided to safety where police are trying to organize a barrier.

The Giant Nicky attacked manages to pull back. His weapon catches in the bone necklace around his neck. He glares then tries to punch Nicky.

So far no one has noticed what Erin is starting to do.

[lil_hulk]

Jay was not getting the attention he wanted. Instead he had flaming fists. Which startled him. "Augh!"

He flailed at a giant's ankle for a moment. Before realizing the burning was not effecting him.

"VINCENT!" Jay roared as he launched himself higher on the giant. He tried to rein in the almost uncontrollable anger. Or at least push it in the direction of the giants. "I'm going to shove you up a giant's ass for this!"

Well, it was slightly redirected...

[comic_awareness]

...Did other team leaders have to deal with this? Bruce was pretty sure no other leader had to deal with this amount of insanity.

He took a charge straight up the middle, pumping out photonic blasts.

[the4thblackknight]

Lord save him from his teammates, sometimes. Marcus heard Jay's roar and shook his head still herding shaken civilians out of the path of danger. The farther away the better, all things considered.

[vincent_amora]

Vincent heard the roaring and just rolled his eyes. Had he not been wielding his staff, he'd have thrown his hands up. He was told to give support. He gave support. Some people just can't accept help graciously, he supposes.

He surveys the battlefield and his gaze narrows on a frost giant advancing in Marcus' evacuation route's direction. He focuses his energies again and erects a large wall of force between Marcus and the giant, visible only from Marcus' side. With any luck, the giant will crash into it hard enough to be imbalanced.
