At an Office building, its once pristine foundation trembled under the relentless assault of the Chitauri. The glass window shattered as the alien warriors forced their way inside, their snarls echoing throughout the hallways.

The Employees cowered under desks and behind hastily constructed barricades, the terror in their eyes mirrored in the dim light of flickering fluorescent bulbs as they saw the Chitauri moving towards them.

Then, the lights began to flicker unnaturally. Shadows that had been confined to corners stretched and writhed, snaking across walls and ceilings. The temperature seemed to plummet, and an oppressive silence settled over the area. 

The Chitauri paused, their guttural snarls turning into cautious growls as they scanned their surroundings. Something was wrong. Something was coming.

One of the Chitauri turned toward the source of the sound, only to see a dark mist coalescing in the air. Suddenly,

~SCREEEECH~

A Katana stabbed it through the chest, and a demonic flame engulfed its body, burning it all away to dust.

~SCREEECH~SCREECH~

The other Chitauri soldiers all screeched, looking around as the dark mist coalesced into Maxim, Yamato resting in his hand.

The first Chitauri, emboldened by numbers, raised its weapon. Before it could fire, Maxim vanished in a swirl of shadows. He reappeared behind the creature, Yamato slicing cleanly through its torso. The alien fell in two pieces, its body dissolving into ash before it even hit the floor.

The others opened fire, their energy blasts lighting up the darkened hall. However, Maxim had already set up a variety of Astral Barriers, which effortlessly absorbed the energy blasts.

During that, Maxim was able to easily glide through the chaos like a phantom, and with a wave of his hand, a dense nebula erupted in the Chitauri's midst, pulling the aliens together.

They struggled, limbs flailing as they were dragged toward the center of the vortex. Once the nebula reached its peak, Maxim extended his free hand, summoning a demonic flame.

With a flick of his wrist, the flames shot forward tyrannically, piercing through the Chitauri trapped in the vortex. The energy exploded on contact, leaving nothing but scorched walls.

More Chitauri poured into the room, determined to overwhelm him through sheer numbers. Some of them also hurried towards the terrified employees, trying to use them, energy bombs in their hands.

Maxim welcomed the challenge. Ebony and Ivory appeared in his hands, the twin pistols glowing faintly as he opened fire. Each bullet was imbued with demonic energy, tearing through the invaders' armor with brutal precision.

He teleported between the Chitauri, avoiding their fire. One of them lunged at him with a spear, but Maxim sidestepped it easily, grabbing it by the neck and crushing his hand.

His Superhuman strength crushed the neck effortlessly, and Maxim tossed its dead body to one of its allies.

Before that ally could react, Maxim grabbed the energy bomb and tossed it directly towards it, exploding on contact and killing it.

At the far end of the room, a Chitauri captain barked orders, rallying its troops. Maxim's glowing eyes locked onto the leader. He raised his hand, and a gravitational well formed beneath the captain, pulling it to its knees. Maxim strode toward it, the blade of Yamato dragging across the floor with a menacing scrape.

"You shouldn't have come here," he growled, his voice low and filled with cold fury. In one swift motion, he drove Yamato through the captain's head, the blade slicing cleanly as the alien's body collapsed into ash.

The room fell silent save for the crackle of sparking wires and the groans of the injured. Maxim turned, his dark aura dissipating slightly as he scanned the area.

He raised a hand, conjuring a series of small barriers that wrapped around the entire floor, stopping anything from getting in. "Stay here. Once everything is over, someone will get you."

The employees nodded, and slowly got up, thanking Maxim. However, his gaze has already shifted toward the distant sound of more Chitauri attacking throughout New York, and his grip on Yamato tightened.

As the survivors scrambled for the exits, Maxim's gaze shifted toward the distant sound of more Chitauri approaching. His smirk returned, and his grip on Yamato tightened.

"Round two," he muttered, vanishing into the shadows once more.

INT. S.H.I.E.L.D. HELICARRIER – COMMAND ROOM

The command room is tense, dimly lit, illuminated by holographic screens and monitors displaying the chaos in New York. Nick Fury stands at the center of the room, facing a wall of screens where the World Security Council members are appearing via video call.

One of the councilmen spoke, "Director Fury, the council has made a decision.

"I recognize the council has made a decision, but given that it's a stupid-ass decision, I've elected to ignore it." Fury said as he stared at the holographic screens.

"Director, you're closer than any of our subs. You scramble that jet," A councilman spoke before being cut off by Fury.

"That is the island of Manhattan, Councilman. Until I'm certain my team can't hold it, I will not order a nuclear strike against a civilian population." Fury responded.

"If we don't hold them here, we lose everything." The councilman responded.

Fury had a steeled resolve as he spoke, "I send that bird out we already have."

Fury had cut off the communications tab and was headed back to the Command Centre when he was informed of one of the jets taking off unauthorized. Whilst he managed to shoot it down with an RPG, another one was able to get off.

Fury stood silent for a moment, his jaw clenched as he tabbed into the Avengers communication line, "Stark, do you hear me? You have a missile heading straight for the city."

*********************

During all of this, the battle of New York was still well underway. Chitauri continued to pour from the rift, raining destruction on the streets below.

Out of the street, Maxim spotting Steve grappling with a pack of Chitauri. Judging from the fact he was alone, he could tell Natasha had already hijacked a ship and was on her way to the top of Stark Tower.

Steve's shield clanged against the invaders' weapons, his movements a masterclass in agility and precision. Despite his skill, the sheer numbers threatened to overwhelm him.

Maxim raised a hand, summoning a series of spectral blades that hovered in the air like predatory birds.

With a flick of his wrist, the blades shot forward, impaling the Chitauri surrounding Steve. The soldier turned, nodding in acknowledgment before charging into the fray once more.

"Appreciate the assist," Steve called over his shoulder as he engaged another swarm of Chitauri.

"Keep moving," Maxim replied, his focus already on the next threat.

Thor's thunderous laughter echoed nearby as the God of Thunder unleashed a storm upon the invaders. Lightning arced across the sky, striking a leviathan mid-flight.

The creature writhed and screamed as it fell, its massive bulk crashing into the side of a skyscraper.

"Maxim!" Thor boomed, landing heavily beside him, "Care to join the fun?"

Maxim tilted his head, his eyes glowing faintly as he studied the approaching swarm of Chitauri. "Always."

Thor tossed Mjolnir and Maxim created a portal, teleporting it mid air and allowing it to instantaneously crash through dozens of Chitauri, destroying them effortlessly, before Maxim teleported it back, right into Thor's hand.

~BOOM~

Then, Thor leapt off, smashing through soldiers and sending arcs of lightning into the gliders above, grounding them permanently while Maxim continued on the streets, landing headshot after headshot with Ebony & Ivory.

At one point, a particular Chitauri charged at Thor. The Asgardian braced himself, but Maxim stepped in, summoning Sparda, the demon-forged greatsword.

With a powerful swing, he cleaved the creature in half, the force of the strike sending a shockwave that leveled nearby debris.

Thor raised an eyebrow, "Impressive, Asgard could use a soldier like you."

Maxim gave a faint chuckle and muttered silently, "If only you knew." 

~TREMBLE~

The ground trembled as another leviathan descended, its grotesque form towering over the battlefield. Maxim watched as a barrage of Chitauri soldiers jumped off of its back.

Maxim immediately raised his arms, calling forth a nebula of shimmering stars. The nebula expanded rapidly, enveloping the leviathan and its soldiers in a celestial storm.

Gravity twisted within the field, crushing the leviathan's armored hide and tearing its soldiers apart. The creature roared in agony, its massive form buckling under the cosmic assault.

Not content to let it escape, Maxim teleported onto the leviathan's back, Yamato in hand. He ran along its spine, slicing through the alien mechanical armor with precise, calculated strikes.

When he reached its head, he plunged the katana deep into its skull, channeling a surge of demonic energy that exploded outward, obliterating the leviathan entirely.

He landed gracefully amidst the falling debris, his cloak of shadows billowing around him.
