Cap!
Hulk!
How about we team up to take down Prince McSparky?
!
A united front, eh?
Roger that!
Sure!
It's settled then!
Wasp Sting!
Shield Throw!
Hulk Smash!
Lightning Strike!
In the name of MjÃlnir!
Dangit!
We almost had him!
That makes 10 rounds Hikaru won.
Chris, you should review how to balance between offense and defense.
Oh, shut up.
Maybe I'll try a different hero next Can you handle a different hero?
On second thought, I'll stick with Hulk.
Heh.
Well, I'm done.
Hold up a sec!
You can't just win-and-run!
Just let it go.
It'll be the same no matter how many times we try.
I guess so.
It doesn't look like we'll ever b*at Hikaru.
What are you even saying?
!
He's a great study, good at all kinds of sports He's a natural Stark Jet pilot And he always greets you with a smile!
On top of that, he's not picky when it comes to food Against such a flawless big brother like Hikaru, can you do anything better than him?
We really can't do anything better You're exaggerating Hold on.
Doesn't that apply to you too, Jessica?
You can't reach things high up on the shelf, can ya?
It's just a game, no need to get upset It's because it's a game I wanna b*at you in it!
Okay, I get it.
One more round then.
And if you try to throw the fight, the hands come off!
O-Okay.
Let's do this!
Ed!
Chris!
R-Right!
Who the heck put you in charge?
!
Avengers, assemble!
All of our slumbering feelings are gathered Quickly wishing for tomorrow.
The light that calls us all together Is waiting to be set free!
Strike 'em down cleverly, let it look like you were deceived.
The world isn't simple anymore.
It's on a countdown to chaos.
Leave that never stopping snooze button alone!
In despair, I'll finally notice it!
All of our slumbering feelings are gathered Quickly wishing for tomorrow.
The light that calls us all together Is waiting to be set free!
"You won't be alone", if you make that promise Firmly believe in it, and your pulse that wishes for it Will go towards a forgiving future And break through!
The Man Who Controls the Whips of Darkness!
A blackout?
Akira?
!
The electric doors won't work in a blackout W-Wait a sec!
Hikaru!
What are you going to do?
W-Whoa man!
Hey, Pepper, can you hurry and switch us over to emergency power?
Roger that.
Akira!
What happened?
We temporarily threw the break switch.
Akira here was playing around with the Manipulator without permission And that ended up messing up the whole system here.
Are you okay, Akira?
Yeah, I'm fine.
How's the D-System?
All green.
We're good.
And what is all this about?
Ah, well Akira, are you hurt anywhere?
I said I'm fine!
Lemme check.
Don't you think you have a bit of a fever?
Somehow, Hikaru and Akira seem less like brothers and more like a parent and child.
It's great nothing happened this time, but If we suddenly lost power like that again, the D-System might Are you sure you don't have a cold?
I told you, I'm fine!
Hey!
Listen when someone's talking!
If we can't use the D-System, then when the DISKs drift I think it's best if Ms.
Pepper gives you medicine later.
I'm fine!
Listen.
We have no idea when and where a DISK will drift in This is for your own good!
Jeez.
You always worry way too much, bro.
No matter what I do, you're always like this.
Yeah When it comes to Akira It's like he's oblivious to everything else.
S-Sooo, Tony!
You were saying?
Never mind.
If no one's gonna listen, why bother singing?
I think I get how street musicians feel now.
They're right I've always had tunnel-vision when it comes to Akira for as long as I can remember I understand your feelings well, Hikaru.
I'm the same.
When it comes to Loki, I lose my better judgement.
Right I've been meaning to ask you Why is Loki an enemy, even though he's your younger brother?
Loki and I are not brothers by blood.
My father had brought Loki home after he had been orphaned in battle And we were raised together as if he were my own brother.
Then As Loki's powerful magic and transformation abilities developed, it steadily became impossible for him to curb his own selfish desires.
Eventually, Loki set his sights on becoming the king of Asgard.
However, that wish went unfulfilled.
The one chosen to inherit the throne Was I, the older brother.
That had pushed him too far, and finally, Loki's heart was gripped with evil.
Even now, the fact Loki is my brother has not changed.
Which is why, as his elder brother, the duty of stopping his evil deeds lies with me.
An older brother's responsibility I didn't want to pry too much But I'm glad you opened up to me.
Still, as an older sibling myself It feels reassuring to have you by my side, Hikaru.
You really think of me so highly?
Which is why I'd like you to depend on me too.
So, when you are too concerned about your brother and seem to forget all else I hope to become your emotional support.
Okay Thanks.
Ms.
Pepper!
We've picked up a new DISK signal!
Avengers, move out!
It's just the strangest thing.
We have a system which can detect when a DISK appears And I've prepared plenty of villains to use as your servants.
That said, how many more DISKs do you think we have obtained?
10?
100?
Not in the slightest!
We've lost more than we've gained!
Everything has proceeded as exptected until now!
So you say that continually being made fools of by half-baked rejects with limited activity is somehow "proceeding as expected"?
Enough.
I suppose I will have to make sure of this myself By going in person, that is.
I've finally found it.
The weakness of that flawless brother of yours!
He's always so cool and refined, but when it comes to you, that flies out the window.
And your point is?
You better watch out, Hikaru, because next time I'm gonna put you six feet under!
What are you talking about, Jessica?
She's probably talking about yesterday's game thing.
Um hey, Jessica?
She's scaring me You could totally pass for a villain.
We'll be over the site soon!
Alright.
Don't let your guard down!
Where are we?
There's no one here.
It's a research facility that dealt with chemical development.
It looks like the DISK is in this storehouse.
Well, that was quick.
Let's go get it.
I concur.
I could smash this puny door open with one punch!
You might wanna rethink that one.
Look.
So there's something dangerous in there?
A huuuge stock of chemicals.
Any shock or vibration might make them explode.
Explode?
!
In other words, if we try to open the door with force Yep.
This research facility would be blown sky-high.
Then how do we get this thing open?
!
It doesn't look like it'd be hard to decrypt the password.
The problem is we need to supply enough energy to actually get the system working again.
They only cut the power, right?
What if we asked the electric company?
Loki and his g*ons are probably after this DISK too.
The less time we waste, the better.
A ton of electricity Say, if we used Thor's lightning, would that do the trick?
It might work.
Whoa, no.
I'd rather he didn't go overboard.
Everyone here would be burnt to a crisp!
All I have to do is hold back my power, no?
A simple feat.
It's in your hands.
Thor and I will go first.

Okay.
Thor, we're counting on you!
What the heck?
This?
Greetings, my dear Avengers.
And to you too, my brother.
Loki?
!
What business do you have, Loki?
Your dear younger brother speaks with you in goodness knows how long and you take that attitude?
I'll speak with you when we settle the score!
Oh, what a coincidence!
I was thinking of doing just that!
What?
!
Let us finish this, dearest brother.
Let us find out which of us is more fit to inherit the Asgardian crown!
That is father's choice alone, not mine!
I doubt that senile fool of a king is capable of making the right decision.
You dare insult our father, Loki?
!
I shall be waiting for you atop a hill 3 kilometers from your location.
We can't fight fairly there when the slightest vibration could cause the chemicals to explode, right?
I am looking forward to your arrival, dearest brother.
Loki!
Any vibrations and we go boom!
Thor!
Where are you going?
!
Is that not obvious?
To Loki.
Hey, wait!
If you go, then there'll be no one who can open this door!
Once I teach him a lesson, I shall return posthaste.
I am looking forward to your arrival, dearest brother.
Wait!
Stand aside, Hikaru.
I must go.
If you go, you'll be playing right into Loki's hands!
Will Thor really show up?
He will.
My brother most certainly will come.
I sure hope so.
A lovely plan, no?
Without my brother there, the Avengers will have no way to open that storehouse.
Then you will rush in with your villains, break into the storehouse and steal the DISK.
Hold on.
What about those volatile chemicals stored there?
All you have to do is teleport before the expl*si*n happens.
We can retrieve the DISK and finish them off at the same time!
It'll be like k*lling two birds with one stone.
Understood.
I leave this in your hands.
Hikaru, I Just listen.
Loki's real motive here is to pull you away from here.
T-This is a matter between brothers!
Thor you told me this.
"When you are too concerned about your brother and seem to forget all else" "I hope to become your emotional support.
" I was happy to hear that.
That's why I'll Now then, brother, let us finish thi-!
Oh, were you waiting for someone on this dreary old hill?
Why are you three here?
Sorry to say this, but Thor isn't coming.
What?
!
Why is Thor here?
!
I have a message from him: "O dearest brother" "If I had been alone, there is no doubt I would have fell for your provocations.
" "But the present me is different.
" "For now I am partners with Hikaru.
" "That is something I shall never forget.
" Thor, thank you for understanding.
I am the one who should be offering my thanks.
Thank you, Hikaru.
Akira!
I guess worrying about you and flat out ignoring everything else around me isn't good.
I'll be more mindful from now on.
He he didn't fall for my ruse?

Your plan is a failure!
