Previously on Avengers.

Avengers assemble.

I have ties to people with real power.

I deliver this my frat's bomb

and they deliver the power.

You win?

I'm not gonna let you go through this crazy scheme of yours.

All the bombs were found.

Taurus, please.

There are meant to 12 pieces.

One for each sign of the heavens.

We can work this out.

I just need a little more time.

This is not the first time the Avengers have meddled

with the plans of the Zodiac.

But it will be the last.

How soon will the chosen sectors of my celestial domain

be free of the polluting interference of man's technology?

Soon, soon Lord Taurus.

Time is precious.

Still our convergence is nearly at hand.

The path must be clear, Scorpio.

We understand, my Lord.

Scorpio, clear the skies.

Sikorsky, that's three fallen satellites in two hours.

What's going on up there?

We don't know, but at this rate,

every satellite up there could be knocked out in nine hours.

Everyone thinks they're cities next.

Boy, Sikorsky, you're just full of good news, aren't you?

Your country desperately needs the Avengers

to prevent this from happening again.

Ground reports pick up a satellite on its way down.

We'll have to alter its descent.

We got lucky this time, Avengers.

That satellite hit was in Australia.

It had no nuclear core and it hit open territory, no injury.

Latest projected impact site.

Automated oil rigs, Texas Gulf Coast.

Okay, the good news is there's no one to evacuate.

But if the satellite hits the rigs,

the oil spill would be an environmental catastrophe.

Heads up, computer just verified the worst.

We're chasing an old Echo Alpha Class III military sat

with a nuclear-powered core.

Ah, great.

Whatever doesn't get smashed, get smoked.

Vision, time to get you out of there.

There is a 93.2% chance that I can redirect the satellite

away from the oil rigs.

If I leave now, all will be lost.

We're moving in to pick you up.

Done, I have affected the area of re-entry.

I must detonate the nuclear core

before it re-enters the atmosphere.

Vision!

Divert power to the side thrusters.

We have to stabilize.

Bates, this is QJ-1.

This is QJ-1, we have a level five situation.

Level five?

Who's hurt?

Tigray, it is Vision.

We may have lost him in the explosion.

Nobody dies today.

We're not leaving until we find him.

I appreciate your concern,

but as you can see, it is not necessary.

Vision.

Hey, you made it.

All right, Vision.

He's okay, oh man, that's great.

QJ-1, heading for base.

Who's not so fast, Ant-Man?

Ground reports pick up a third satellite on its way down.

Another one?

Nuclear core?

Affirmative.

What about a mid-air detonation?

Ken, it's not heading for the ocean.

Where's the projected impact site?

Chicago.

Long distance radar has a lock on target.

We blow it up and the blast debris

will take out half of Illinois.

It's too low to move back into work.

We'll have to alter its descent.

Brace yourselves.

Guess we're doing this the hard way.

Everyone, hang on.

Shielding stressed at 112%.

The intentions, one, three, and four,

pegging in the red zone.

Probability of success is less than 3.9%.

But there is a chance of success.

Wings of Sesame Chain!

That did it.

It's in the lake, nuclear core intact.

Wanda, help me.

Soon, the stars will undergo

the first of the 12 energy convergences

required to activate the Zodiac Key.

When I am finally empowered

with the strength of the stars,

humanity will growl before me.

There's a ship approaching.

Mm, more rubbish to dispose of.

Take care of it.

Scorpio, clear the skies.

Just got word from the Stark International Space Station.

Stark Space Station?

It's Iron Man!

This is Iron Man

from the Stark International Space Station.

The base is under attack.

Threat is of unknown origin.

Unknown origin, unknown origin, unknown origin, unknown origin.

Sounds like Metalhead's got his hands full up there.

Feed went dead before Iron Man could verify a lockdown.

What about the Zeus II nuclear weapons platform up there?

For all we know, those nukes could be the next thing to fall.

Hey, do you think Ultron's behind all this?

Ultron would've let us know by now.

He likes to brag too much.

Vision, what?

Hawkeye, Falcon, report back to the Quinjet.

Scarlet Witch, you're working with Tigra on ground support.

That mystery ship had to launch from somewhere.

On it, Big A.

I'm ready.

Wanda, you're not feeling 100%.

You will need me.

I'm fine, Hank, please.

Avengers, assemble.

Ah!

Henry, any word from Iron Man?

No, not yet.

Make sure our shields are up.

There's the nuclear weapons platform.

And Tony Stark's space station.

Wonder if the room service is any good.

No sign of our mystery ship, huh?

I've got a feeling we'll know when they arrive.

Patience, Hawkeye.

That's not exactly one of my virtues.

My hands!

Are you all right?

Yes, yes, I'm all right.

I was thinking about Iron Man's transmission.

I sense the stars are not right.

You talking about the Zodiac?

Come on, all that stuff's a joke.

For 4,000 years, mankind treated that stuff.

As an observable science.

There's a... presence approaching.

Aquarius and Libra handling the space station.

We will handle this in Florida Earth.

It's a line-of-sight distress signal from the space station.

Iron Man!

Hawkeye, Falcon, get to the space station.

We'll cover the nuclear platform.

Be careful.

For all we know, our mystery ship is right out there.

It is out there.

I know it.

I can feel it.

Henry, dead ahead.

The markings on the hull.

I recognize them.

All 12 signs of the Zodiac.

More rubbish to dispose of.

Take care of it.

Everyone, hang on!

It's cloaked.

Jan, plot its last known trajectory.

Return fire!

What's this?

Iron Man, do you read?

Hawkeye, Falcon!

Hey, rookie, you okay?

There's the ship.

Hold your fire.

We can't risk hitting Falcon.

I'm coming, kid.

Falcon!

I can't stabilize the spin!

This better work.

Thanks, Hawkeye.

Glad to lend a hand, rookie.

Vision, power up the thrusters.

Wasp, return fire!

Scatter array initialized.

It's the Avengers.

We've given them a very warm welcome.

We'll have Taurus' sectors clear in no time, Scorpio.

Yes, yes, Gemini, I know.

We're on a strict timetable.

Systems at 76%!

We have experienced substantial damage.

How can this be happening?

Radar indicates the sky cycle

made it back to the space station.

Iron Man, where are you?

Do you copy?

Oh, I got a bad feeling about this.

Disarming those missiles isn't good enough.

If we don't destroy them,

no place on Earth will be safe.

I advise caution.

The stealth ship could still be out there.

I can see it.

Wanda, I was trained in the ways of the stars

by my mentor, Agatha Harknesson, sorceress.

But your eyes, your hands.

I'm able to sense those who would use the stars

to their own dark purposes.

The stealth ship is there.

Jam, fire!

In nearing the nuclear platform, Gemini,

it is time to knock them from the skies!

Can they see us?

Wanda, it's working.

We're hitting them!

Right there.

I just saw it!

Enough of this petty distraction!

Our mission is clear.

Be peasants.

The Avengers believe they can stop me.

You see anything yet?

Avengers!

We've planted detonation devices.

The whole station's wired with bombs.

We must clear the skies!

Where's the detonator?

Follow me!

Avengers, assemble!

You got it, Iron Man!

Falcon, the detonator!

Harkai, hit the red release lock!

Gemini, rescue Aquarius and Libra

from their confinement.

Next time somebody tries to take on the Avengers,

they should know better than to send in their flunkies.

Scorpio, make them fall from the skies!

Yes, my lord!

We're falling, just like the satellites.

No!

Come on!

Your jets are still operational.

Our pulse rays won't work on their engines.

Gemini, take me to the weapons platform.

But Scorpio?

I intend to clear these skies

if I have to do it myself.

All systems report damage.

We can barely move.

I don't believe it.

They're launching a missile.

Our shields are failing!

We have to take evasive action.

No, if that missile gets past us,

it's headed straight for Earth.

Harkai, Falcon, we have to intercept them.

Intercept that missile.

Transport vision now.

Vision, you know what to do.

Go!

Please, we shouldn't take him.

Go, South 360, execute!

Done!

There is only one way to ensure

that the remaining missiles do not harm Earth.

I can change their trajectory.

Shut everything down.

Divert all power to shields.

Shields are buckling.

We're too close.

We won't survive the blast.

Divert my armor energy into the shields.

It's the only way.

But Tony, your heart.

Do it!

Vision.

Vision!

But Vision, are you certain you're all right?

My systems appear operational.

I appreciate your concern.

Those nuclear weapons can't hurt anyone now, Henry.

Everyone can rest more easily tonight.

Not me, Jan.

Not until I figure out who's behind all this, and why.

Stock industries will want some answers too.

Let me know how I can help.

Let us thank the Avengers for their unwitting assistance

in the final step of our mission.

You were most clever, Scorpio.

The skies are clear for the convergence.

We assumed we wanted the weapons.

Instead, we wanted the sky.

The power of the stars will soon be mine.

It, it is not over.

None of this is over.
