*30 miles away from Gotham

An identified alien spacecraft had entered the atmosphere barreling towards the outskirts of a small town.

"Sir! An identified aircraft has entered the atmosphere!" The Lieutenant said in a startled voice.

"Find out where that aircraft is going to land, and call up a strike team." A man replied wearing an eyepatch.

"YES SIR!"

—

A purple colored spacecraft was spiraling out of control miles about the earth's surface fuming black smoke as it barreled towards the ground. The unidentified aircraft crashed into the ground throwing dirt and other debris away from the object.

Moments later a figure, in white came out from of the object, followed by 6 other similarly sized figures but in blue.

These were the Sangheili, one of the strongest and warrior-like species to inhabit the galaxy, led by Rtas 'Vadum.

"Follow Me" He said, "We must stick together if we are to escape this planet".

The Elites proceeded to walk through fields and trees until they came upon what we refer to as a gas station, along with a convince store. The gas station was on the other side of the road from where the elites stood. About 4 cars were at the gas station currently with other cars traveling along the road.

'Strange', Rtas thought. 'This human planet seems much more primitive compared to other worlds I have been to. Then again, I had been to those worlds in order to destroy them, by command of the false hierarchs.'

Rtas and his Elites then crossed the road and approached the gas station. Getting many reactions and screams from nearby pedestrians. It was strange for people going about their day to see 8 foot tall armored beings with long protruding necks and split jaw pieces in public. Some of the people quickly drove away while others began dialing 911.

The elites were peaceful however, as they marched past the civilians calmly headed towards the convenience store attached to the gas station. A man wearing a blue hat leaving the store saw the aliens coming right at him as he dropped his drink and clutched his chest as he felt he might have a heart attack. The Sangheilis went right past him with one of them giving the man a slight growl as the rest continued to enter the convenience store.

Once inside, the elites fanned out going through the store looking for food. The people who were in the store quickly left in a panic after seeing seven aliens. The store clerk however stayed where has was and didn't notice the aliens.

Rtas approached the clerk after getting a bag of chips and a water. The clerk merely looked up at the seven foot tall creature towering over him and fainted. Rtas looked at the human and merely chuckled to himself. Rtas then signaled to his elites that is was time to leave.

Once the elites left the store they were surprised to find about 4 cars with flashing lights on top surrounding the entrance to the store where the Elites stood. Behind the cars stood about 8 men each holding a gun pointed at the elites. A look of bewilderment passed over the faces of the policemen as they had never seen aliens before, except on tv during The Battle of New York with the Avengers.

"PUT YOUR HANDS BEHIND YOUR HEAD AND GET ON YOUR KNEES!" One of the officers yelled at the elites.

"Do not get in our way human, we are merely passing through." Said Rtas

"IF YOU DO NOT COMPLY WE WILL USE LETHAL FORCE"

"Get Ready, there is no need to kill the humans" Rtas said to his men.

The police then all opened fire on the creatures but their bullets were stopped by a yellow glow surrounding the creatures. The Elites quickly charged the officers, jumping over the cop cars and attacking.

One of the officers yelled before being knocked out by a pissed off elite. In a matter of seconds, 8 officers were knocked out, after opening fire on the sangheili warriors.

Nick Fury was in a quintet en route to the site of the alien activity.

"Sir, you need to see this!" A man said holding out a tablet.

Fury watched a video of seven aliens entering a gas station, then leaving to be attacked by the local police who were clearly outmatched.

"This isn't good" Fury muttered under his breath.

'The last time Humanity had made first contact with aliens it did not go well for them. This is going to be different this time' Fury thought.

Two ground teams and the quinjet were en route to the aliens location. There were about 50 men overall ready to subdue the aliens.

—

Rtas and his men were just now leaving the Gas Station when they saw 2 armored trucks stop blocking the road on either side of them, along with what looked like some sort of Vtol aircraft that landed.

Roughly 50 men poured out of the vehicles surrounding the 7 elites in a circled. These men were heavily armed and seemed to be professionals. Some of them made room as a man in all black wearing an eye patch walked through.

"Sir! I would recommended you and your friends surrender and come with us." He said, clearly directing his attention to their leader.

The idea of surrendering to a human irritated Rtas, he held information too valuable to surrender without a fight.

"We mean you no harm human, as we are merely passing through, besides, you and your men are clearly outmatched." Rtas said.

This idea startled Fury, these creatures had more than 50 guns pointed at them, and one of them said the humans were outmatched?

"I disagree" Said Fury, "You have more than 50 guns pointed right at you, try something".

It was at this moment Rtas and his elites ignited their energy swords, causing the mercenaries to shift in their boots.

"Steady, Steady" Fury muttered to his men who were clearly concerned.

"I am ordering you to stand down now!" Fury yelled at the creatures

A tense pause took place fore a few seconds before gunfire erupted from the shield agents.

"ATTACK!" Rtas yelled, causing his elites to charge forward towards the mercenaries, taking no damage due to their energy shields which protected them.

Rtas himself charged forward ramming his energy sword through the closest mercenary's body before the man had time to move. The mercenary was then hoisted up into the air by the sword before being thrown off the sword towards the ground by the shipmaster.

The roar of the elite and others nearby could be heard as they began their attack.

Nearby shield agents were scared by this attack from the creature, as they quickly began to retreat, as they continually fired at him. The elites were protected however, their energy shields taking all the damage.

The elites continued on, cutting down any mercenaries that stood in their way, with some of them running away before being killed by having an energy sword driven through their back.

Nick Fury could not believe what he was witnessing, his own men, the best mercenaries on the plant, were being massacred right in front of his eyes. He quickly retreated to his quinjet.

"PILOT GET US OUT OF HERE NOW!" Fury Yelled as he entered the plane which began to lift off the ground.

Once the plane was in the air Fury could not believe what he saw with his own eyes. All of his men, were dead lying on the ground, some with their body intact, and others completely disassembled. Walking around still were the same seven armored figures, completely unscathed.

Rtas stood, looking over what could be described as a battle, before looking up to see the same man who ordered the attack on his elites. The human looked furious yet at the same time desperate looking over the carnage the shipmaster and his elites caused.

In the background sirens could be heard heading in the direction of the battle, as the creatures quickly vanished from sight with the amazement of Nick Fury.

"Notify anyone who needs to know" Fury said, looking over the battlefield, "As of right now, we are at war".

Bruce Wayne sat in what some would call a mansion, or as others would describe as his batcave. He sat at his computer reading the news when an alert popped up on his screen that interested him: "Nearly 50 SHIELD Agents Dead In What Some Would Describe as a Massacre". Bruce quickly clicked on the article to find out not only was the suspect(s) still at large, but that this had happened only a few miles away from his home.

"ALFRED!" Mr. Wayne yelled up from the Batcave.

"Yes master Bruce, or should I say Mr. Batman" Alfred said casually as he entered the Batcave.

"Have you read the news recently Alfred"

"No Sir, I have been quite busy recently" Alfred responded

"It appears Alfred that almost fifty SHIELD agents have been killed only a few miles from here"

Said Bruce

"Oh dear sir, I am very sorry to hear that. Were they at least able to capture the perpetrator"

"No" replied Bruce

"I wonder if the event had any relation to the capture of that green fellow, I seem to have forgotten his name…"

"Green Lantern"

"Yes Master Bruce, do think he was involved by any chance?" Questioned Alfred.

"Maybe, but according to my knowledge he never escaped from the prison shield has him in. His help would be much appreciated, especially in a time like this."

"Certainly M….." Alfred was cutoff when an alarm started blaring notifying the two of any intruders to Wayne Manor.

"It appears Sir that we have unwelcome guests" Said Alfred.

"I Know" Replied Bruce, heading over to where he stored his suit.

"Stay here Alfred, I will handle the intruders" Batman said as he put his suit on.

—

Batman was able to locate the intruders in the living room of Wayne Manor. These seemed to be about seven of them spread out throughout the room, and they were all each very tall with blue lights in few places over their bodies.

Batman noticed that on of them was nearby, within striking range, so he jumped down from the balcony overlooking the room catching one of the intruders off guard and knocking him down to the ground with a thud. The others turned around after hearing all the commotion to find a man in black that had ambushed one of their own.

Batman stood looking at the other intruders for a bit longer than he should have as he was quickly restrained from the back with speed. Batman tried to get loose but to no avail as the intruder seemed to have more strength than your average person would possess.

CLICK

With that sound the room was illuminated by light and Batman's face showed exactly what he was feeling.

In front of him stood six 8 foot tall armored beings that clearly weren't human. They all had long protruding necks what leveled to where their head was as each wore a helmet. They did not have a typical human mouths as they rather each seemed to have four jaws.

As Batman was restrained and was studying the creatures, the one he had knocked to the ground stood up and began approaching the masked crusader.

"ENOUGH" A commanding and deep voice came from one of the creatures.

Some of them moved out of the way to make room for another one of the creatures who approached batman, he was different in that his armor was white instead of being blue like the others.

"We have killed enough humans today, this one can be allowed to live" The creature said

Batman was released and took a second to recover.

"I don't know who you are, or where you came from, but you need to leave" Said Batman

"My Elites and I seek a place to rest, seeing as you humans still possess a hatred of our kid"

"Your Kind?" Said Batman questionably

"Yes, seeing as our war with humanity lasted nearly 30 years"

This did not make sense to Batman, the Elites? A war involving Humanity lasting 28 years?

"I have no knowledge of any such war" Said Batman

"Strange" Said Rtas "The Human-Covenant war lasted between 2525 and 2552 if I am correct. And only ended after war broke-out between ourselves and the Brutes"

'A war 500 years in the future? This couldn't be right' thought Batman.

"Well I hate to brake it to you, but it seems you're 500 years too early" Said Batman

—

Nick Fury stood at the bridge of the Helicarrier, overlooking the hardworking individuals at shield. Another alien threat? How could he be so unprepared for a possibility of this occurring? Fury thought to himself.

"Sir" Came a female voice from behind Fury.

"Yes Agent Hill"

"Sir the Avengers have arrived"

"Bring them in" Replied Fury

In came Captain America, War Machine, Falcon, Tony Stark, Thor, Hawkeye, and Black Widow into the bridge of the helicarrier and each took a seat at the round conference table there. Fury turned around from his normal sport of commanding the helicarrier and approached the group.

"I assume you are wondering why I have assembled the greatest team in history once again" Fury said to the group

"Yes I would like to know why you ended my vacation so early" Stark said getting annoyed glances from other Avengers.

"Enough Tony" Cap said in an annoyed tone

"No. I was simply enjoying my vacation when I was ambushed by shield agents and brought here. So there be a pretty damn good reason as to why" Said Stark

"This is your reason Mr. Stark" Fury Replied as he pressed a button and in front of the group appeared a video displaying armored creatures massacring shield agents before leaving the scene by turning invisible.

"Now if that is not a damn good reason for assembling the greatest team in history once again, then you better tell me why" Fury said as the Avengers remained seated, speechless at what they just witnessed.

"These creatures seem to use weaponry I have never witnessed before" Said Rhodes.

"Exactly" Replied Fury "And if you don't want a repeat of what happened in New York once again, I suggest you join the cause"

The Avengers Looked at one another in agreement before Captain America said:

"Avengers Assemble!"
