Rumble.
In a small town in New Mexico, dark clouds gathered overhead, and lightning flashed wildly across the sky. The air pressure thickened, heavy and oppressive, as if a storm of divine wrath was about to break loose.
Inside the quarantined farm, S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Phil Coulson stared in disbelief at the surveillance feed before him. His right hand instinctively went to the earpiece on his head.
"Sir, we have a problem."
Coulson immediately connected to S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters in Washington, D.C., and opened a direct line to Director Nick Fury, his tone tense and urgent.
"Coulson," Fury replied coolly from the Triskelion, "what we deal with at S.H.I.E.L.D. is nothing but problems."
Coulson's face darkened. "Sir, this time it's a big one."
At his signal, one of the agents beside him switched the live feed directly to Fury's office. For a moment, there was complete silence.
Fury's expression hardened. His single eye narrowed as his gloved hand clenched tightly into a fist.
On the monitor before him, *Captain America—Steve Rogers—*stood wreathed in thunder and lightning, facing off against someone wearing a blue Iron Man–style armor.
"F***! Tony Stark's been replaced! When the hell did this happen?"
Fury's composure snapped. He slammed his fist against the desk. Seeing the footage of Stark—no, of a woman in an Iron Man suit—made the truth hit him like a thunderbolt. Tony Stark was likely already dead.
"Coulson," Fury growled coldly, "stop him."
"Which side, sir?" Coulson frowned. Both figures on-screen—Rogers and the armored opponent—were beyond understanding.
"Both sides," Fury said, his voice sharp as steel.
Coulson's eyes widened. Even for him, that order was unexpected.
"Yes, sir."
Though shocked, Coulson obeyed without hesitation. Cutting the comm, he gestured to his team. "Move in! Target both hostiles!"
Moments later, in the center of the farm's isolation zone, Captain America—now clad in divine Asgardian armor—held Mjolnir in his right hand and his Vibranium shield in his left. Lightning crackled around him as he glared at the blue-armored opponent before him.
Boom!
Thor Rogers swung Mjolnir, propelling himself forward with blinding speed. In an instant, he was upon his foe—Scarlet Witch Wanda—and brought the hammer down, lightning bursting with terrifying force.
Crackle!
The current surged through Wanda's anti-Thor armor, but instead of damage, she only smiled coldly.
"J.A.R.V.I.S., activate the lightning absorption module."
Under her command, the armor glowed with a deep blue hue. The electricity crawling across its surface was drawn inward and absorbed completely.
Boom!
Wanda raised her hand, releasing the stored lightning as a focused beam. It slammed directly into Captain Thor's chest.
Bang!
The impact sent him flying, smashing through a wall and crashing into the open field beyond.
"J.A.R.V.I.S., Thunder Mode."
Her tone was almost playful. Lightning surged around her as the armor's thrusters ignited, roaring with blue-white energy. In an instant, she vanished from sight.
Whoosh!
A flash of light appeared above the dazed Captain Thor. Wanda raised her right hand, and swarms of nanoparticles formed a nano-Mjolnir, which she hurled downward.
Boom!
Rogers barely managed to raise his Vibranium shield in time. The impact shook the air, sending shockwaves across the ground. Even with his shield, Rogers was smashed into the dirt with bone-jarring force.
"Thor? Too weak."
The visor of the anti-Thor armor lifted, revealing Wanda's face—cold, composed, and beautiful. From her back, an X-shaped energy array unfolded, while several floating circular rings appeared, humming with power.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The floating rings locked into formation above her, glowing as a surge of destructive energy gathered.
"Negative Pressure Thunder Particle Cannon—fire."
A massive purple energy beam shot downward, carrying pure annihilating force.
Rumble!
The sky churned as Captain Thor raised Mjolnir high, channeling every ounce of divine lightning into the hammer. A colossal blue energy column roared upward to meet the beam.
But the moment they collided—
Sizzle!
The blue lightning began to disintegrate. The purple energy devoured it effortlessly, destabilizing and consuming everything in its path.
"F***! Has Allens' technology really advanced this far?"
Realizing his attack was being overpowered, Captain Thor lifted his shield again, crouching low and bracing for impact.
BOOM!
The explosion shook the earth. A blinding mushroom cloud rose from the farm, and a powerful shockwave tore through the isolation zone, blasting S.H.I.E.L.D. agents off their feet.
Cough… cough.
At the blast's center, Captain Thor's armor was shattered, his body bloodied and scorched. Mjolnir lay several meters away, and blood dripped from his mouth. Though the Vibranium shield remained intact, its once-polished surface was scorched black.
"J.A.R.V.I.S., activate Hunting Mode."
In midair, Wanda Maximoff hovered in her blue anti-Thor armor, her hands glowing with scarlet light. The X-shaped reactor on her back began charging, as a brilliant crimson energy sphere formed between her palms, ready to strike again.
