Mission 1[]
"The Wild Hunt has begun, and the rebel Asgardians are using Jotuns as their hunting dogs."
— Mission Preview
Mission Start[]
Maria Hill: |
Loki appears to take it seriously. There are Jotun rampaging all over town, and they're gathering strength and manpower. |
Tony Stark: |
Also, Loki has come up with an Asgardian Iso-8 variant, and he just showered it all over Manhattan. |
Maria Hill: |
He's used it for some kind of mind-control effect. Wherever it's fallen, we're seeing people joining up with the Jotun. And a lot of it fell near Ryker's and in Times Square. |
Valkyrie: |
Harvesting souls, indeed. He has gone too far. |
Maria Hill: |
Asgard has sent Valkyrie to assist us in fighting back. |
Valkyrie: |
And I will see these Jotun off to their frozen hell. |
Tony Stark: |
You'll have to see the Wrecker off, too. He's right in the thick of it. |
Deploy 1[]
Screen Text[]
Let's get a handle on this Asgardian strain of Iso-8. We're tight on scientific brainpower, though. Maybe Beast can give us a hand.
Start[]
Beast: |
Cosmo-mystical? Did you come up with that yourself? |
Tony Stark: |
I see you are unfamiliar with Stark Industries' neologism division. |
Complete[]
Beast: |
It's not the same as the interaction with the Phoenix Force. Something about the nature of Asgard has changed it. |
Nick Fury: |
Is it safe to refine, or will it turn us all into dvergar or something? |
Beast: |
Dvergar? You've been doing your homework, Director. |
Nick Fury: |
I know how to read. |
Beast: |
Well, no. You won't be turned into dwarves. Or giants, for that matter. I don't know what it will do, but I'm fairly certain it won't do that. |
Deploy 2[]
Screen Text[]
If Loki's on the move, the Executioner usually isn't far away. Kitty Pryde is a good candidate to have a look around without drawing much attention.
Start[]
Tony Stark: |
Kitty, we need some fast scouting. Fast and unobtrusive. Not all of Loki's usual gang has shown up yet. We're particularly curious about the Executioner. |
Kitty Pryde: |
If he's around, I'll find him. |
Complete[]
Kitty Pryde: |
I heard rumors about the Destroyer, but no sign of the Executioner. |
Tony Stark: |
Rumors? What, the Jotun were gossiping? |
Kitty Pryde: |
Soldiers always gossip. What else are they going to do when they're not sacking New York? |
Deploy 3[]
Screen Text[]
Contain the Jotun in this building until we can get heavy tac support. If they get out now, they'll cut off one of our fire teams covering an evacuation. We can't let that happen.
Deploy 4[]
Screen Text[]
Wolverine has to do something secret. What is it? He'll tell us when he returns.
Start[]
Wolverine: |
Fury. I need to borrow a Quinjet. Just for a bit. |
Nick Fury: |
For what? You're required in the field. |
Wolverine: |
I'm not telling you. And you can't stop me from going. So how about we just agree I'll tell you when I come back? |
Complete[]
Nick Fury: |
All right. You went. Now hold up your end of the deal. |
Wolverine: |
Yeah. Let's just say that a couple of other Weapon X alumni have been in touch. |
Nick Fury: |
That's it? |
Wolverine: |
For now, yeah. |
Deploy 5[]
Screen Text[]
Jotun weather magics have dropped a fog over this area. We need to control it before we can close this mission out. It's a job for Storm.
Start[]
Maria Hill: |
Storm, the Jotun are doing some kind of weather magic with Iso-8. |
Tony Stark: |
We could use a little fog-clearing so we can see where we're going while we wrap things up. |
Storm: |
I thought all S.H.I.E.L.D. pilots were instrument certified. |
Nick Fury: |
There's no substitute for the human eye, Storm. Believe me, I know. |
MiniBoss - Wrecker[]
Reveal[]
Tony Stark: |
The Wrecker has just torn a hole into the basement of this building. We've got him on security cameras.
Must be an Iso-8 cache there that we haven't detected. |
Valkyrie: |
When I have vanquished him, it will be yours. Asgard does not want it. All it brings is evil. |
Start[]
Valkyrie: |
A crowbar? Do I face a carpenter in battle? |
You face the Wrecker, blondie. Lemme show you what this crowbar can do. | Wrecker: |
Lose[]
Carpenter, huh? | Wrecker: |
Repeat[]
Valkyrie: |
We cross sword and crowbar once more. Unless you choose to yield. |
Fat chance. | Wrecker: |
Complete[]
Valkyrie: |
A magic crowbar is still just a crowbar. It cannot stand against a sword well wielded.
The Wrecker managed to flee through a portal, either of his own creation... |
Tony Stark: |
...or the Enchantress is looking out for her favorite muscle. |
Maria Hill: |
Is there an Iso-8 cache? |
Valkyrie: |
Yes. I will stand watch until you arrive. |
MiniBoss - Piledriver[]
Reveal[]
Maria Hill: |
Piledriver. He's got a gang of thugs and they're raising hell all around this location.
No sign of Iso-8 in the area, but it could be masked. We won't know until we get there. |
Start[]
Valkyrie: |
Do you too take part in Loki's Wild Hunt?
And when it is finished, will your soul be forfeit? |
It's not about the soul, kiddo. It's all about the cash. And Loki pays well.
Everything's for sale. Just depends on the bargain. |
Piledriver: |
Lose[]
Got more than you bargained for, didn't you? Ha! | Piledriver: |
Repeat[]
Valkyrie: |
Will you bargain with the blade of a sword? |
Long as I can trade you a punch in the face. Square deal? | Piledriver: |
Complete[]
Tony Stark: |
Now I've got an Iso-8 signature there. |
Maria Hill: |
Piledriver's gone, though. |
Tony Stark: |
I know. Maybe he had something masking it? |
Maria Hill: |
For all we know, that could have been Loki in Piledriver's shape. |
Nick Fury: |
Theorize later. Get the Iso-8 now. |
Boss - Enchantress []
Reveal[]
Maria Hill: |
The Enchantress is on her way back across the Bifrost Bridge. Thanks to this Asgardian Iso-8, we can follow her through the portal. |
Tony Stark: |
Agent, you need directions? Valkyrie, I'm guessing this portal will be nothing new for you. |
Valkyrie: |
Nor will conflict with the Enchantress. I can sense her... and she me. |
Tony Stark: |
Then let's meet up and move her out before she does something we're not going to be able to reverse. |
Start[]
What are you here for, Brunnhilde? Glory only, or glory and the hand of the Odinson? | Enchantress: |
Valkyrie: |
Asgard. That is all. |
Do you think Asgard would die for you? | Enchantress: |
Valkyrie: |
Loyalty does not demand proof of loyalty. But you, traitor, would not understand that. |
Lose[]
What has loyalty gotten you, maiden? Only defeat. | Enchantress: |
Repeat[]
There are still more surprises in store for you, warrior maiden. | Enchantress: |
Valkyrie: |
I meet them gladly. |
Complete[]
Valkyrie: |
I will take the Enchantress back to Asgard. |
Tony Stark: |
Don't be long. While you girls talk breastplates on the way, the shrimpy and conniving Loki will be up to no good. |
Maria Hill: |
Loki? We haven't seen Loki. |
Tony Stark: |
Whenever we see the Wrecker and the Enchantress, sooner or later we see Loki. |
Loki is not all you haven't seen, mortal. | Enchantress: |
Tony Stark: |
Put a sock in it. I wasn't talking to you. |
Epic Boss - Destroyer[]
Reveal[]
Maria Hill: |
They've unleashed the Destroyer. |
Tony Stark: |
This must be what the Enchantress was talking about. |
Nick Fury: |
I thought we had the Destroyer all hidden away somewhere. |
Tony Stark: |
Nope, gave it back to Asgard. They asked. |
Nick Fury: |
Who asked? |
Tony Stark: |
What do you want me to say? It belongs to Asgard. They asked. How am I supposed to say no to Odin? |
Nick Fury: |
Well, maybe we'll keep it this time no matter what they say. |
Start[]
Valkyrie: |
Keep innocents far from here. The Destroyer has grown even more powerful. |
Maria Hill: |
We've evacuated everything we can, Valkyrie. Take it out. |
Lose[]
Valkyrie: |
The Iso-8 is strong in its armor, and its fire. |
Maria Hill: |
Rally, Valkyrie. We're counting on you. |
Repeat[]
Valkyrie: |
You grow strong from Iso-8, monster. I grow stronger from will. |
Complete[]
Valkyrie: |
It is vanquished. |
Tony Stark: |
Someone call Odin and ask if he'll let us drop it in the Marianas Trench. Or maybe a volcano. |
Valkyrie: |
It won't work. The Destroyer must be struck down every time as if it was the first. |
Tony Stark: |
Except it gets stronger every time. Important difference. |
Valkyrie: |
Then we too must be stronger. |
Mission Complete[]
Mission 2[]
"The Wrecking Crew have joined Executioner to stir up trouble."
— Mission Preview
Mission Start[]
Maria Hill: |
The other half of the Wrecking Crew is out with the Executioner. |
Nick Fury: |
Loki's set them on some kind of game and they're picking up the Iso-8 as fast as they can. |
Maria Hill: |
Not only that, they're gathering manpower as the Iso-8 drives local gangsters into full-on psychosis. |
Tony Stark: |
That's the wild part of the Wild Hunt, it would seem. |
Maria Hill: |
The Wrecker's still at large, but if we can drive the rest of the Crew back, we expect he'll come back in and get the group together. |
Nick Fury: |
Get out there and reclaim as much of this Iso-8 as possible before we have to deal with all of them... and Loki, too. |
Maria Hill: |
Valkyrie's dealing with the Destroyer and the Enchantress in Asgard. She might or might not be back in time to help. |
Sif: |
I will stand in her stead, and fight by her side if she returns in time. |
Tony Stark: |
A full complement of Asgardians, come to our humble little world? Before you all tap-dace back across Bifrost, maybe we can get a group photo for the S.H.I.E.L.D. yearbook. |

Screen Text[]
Some suspected Circle of 8 cultists are trying to blend into the crowds that gather around the Jotun. Slip Iron Fist into the crowds and see if anything makes his mystical senses tingle.
Start[]
Iron Fist: |
How will I know them? |
Nick Fury: |
Believe me. You'll know them. |
Complete[]
Iron Fist: |
Nothing those people do makes any sense, Fury. Whatever this Circle of 8 is, the only thing in their minds is madness and chaos. |
Nick Fury: |
Well, what is the Circle of 8? Maybe you're our guy to find out. |
Iron Fist: |
I will see what I can learn. |
Deploy 2[]
Screen Text[]
Let's get a hero over to the Latverian Embassy to assess Doom's involvement here. If the Syndicate is backing Loki's Wild Hunt, we need to know that sooner rather than later.
Start[]
Nick Fury: |
I have a sneaking suspicion that Loki's got the backing of a certain Latverian dictator.
Take a look around the embassy area and see if anything unusual is going on. |
Complete[]
Tony Stark: |
I don't think Doom's involved. |
Nick Fury: |
Not yet. We'll see how long he stays out of it. |
Deploy 3[]
Screen Text[]
Beast has refined some new Iso-8 variants. Let's get them to Reed Richards' lab for testing.
Deploy 4[]
Screen Text[]
S.H.I.E.L.D.'s local recruiting office received a stone carved with runes that appear to be a letter from Loki asking for a parley with Thor. Do we believe it? The only way to know for certain is to send Thor and find out.
Start[]
Maria Hill: |
Thor, your brother is calling for a parley. |
Thor: |
No, he isn't. |
Tony Stark: |
Well, we have a couriered stone here carved with runes that say he is. You can read these, right? |
Thor: |
A deception. I will go, but only to find out what betrayal he has planned. |
Complete[]
Tony Stark: |
Thor. You don't look so good. |
Thor: |
It is never easy dealing with Loki. |
Tony Stark: |
When you say dealing with Loki, what do you mean, exactly? |
Thor: |
He has made an offer. If we turn Valkyrie over to the Enchantress again, he will leave us in peace. Of course he is lying. |
Tony Stark: |
Yeah. And even if he wasn't, I wouldn't want to be the one to run the idea past Valkyrie. Know what I mean? |
Deploy 5[]
Screen Text[]
Send someone ahead to the Raft to oversee the transfer of prisoners. Let's make sure we don't have another escape on our hands while we're still hunting Loki.
MiniBoss - Thunderball[]
Reveal[]
Nick Fury: |
Thunderball's pounding away at a vault here, Agent. Whatever's in it, he wants it bad. |
Start[]
Stand back, miss. I'd hate to take you out with a backswing. | Thunderball: |
Sif: |
You have the strength of many men, to swing such a great ball of steel.
How will your steel measure up against mine? |
Oh. I see. I take back the warning. | Thunderball: |
Lose[]
What's in this vault is mine. Out of my way! | Thunderball: |
Repeat[]
Sif: |
I do not fear the weapons of a thief. |
Complete[]
Sif: |
He shattered the floor with his wrecking ball and was gone. I will follow. |
Nick Fury: |
No, hold position. We need what's in that vault. Once it's under our control, you're cleared to resume pursuit. |
Sif: |
Thunderball will be gone by then. |
Nick Fury: |
We'll see him again. The important thing is to get the Iso-8 before they do.
And beat some sense into these thugs running around while we're at it. |
MiniBoss - Bulldozer[]
Reveal[]
Start[]
Whoa, a little girl with a sword. I'm a-scared. | Bulldozer: |
Sif: |
I am no "little girl". And if you have not the brains to show fear now, I will teach you. |
Lose[]
Everyone thinks country people are stupid. Well, I ain't stupid. | Bulldozer: |
Repeat[]
You might think I got no brains, but I'm just hard-headed. | Bulldozer: |
Complete[]
Sif: |
Perhaps he fears me now. |
Tony Stark: |
Seeing how fast he ran off, I'm guessing he does. |
Nick Fury: |
You have the Iso-8? Get it to the Helicarrier. We're racing against time here. |
Maria Hill: |
Well, against Loki. |
Tony Stark: |
That feels worse somehow. We know how fast time moves. We have no idea what Loki's doing, or when he'll do it.
There's your pep talk, Agent. Back at it! |
Boss - Executioner[]
Reveal[]
Maria Hill: |
We've got the Executioner cornered here. |
Sif: |
Then I will go in and root him out. |
Start[]
The Bloodaxe grows keener with every bite into the flesh of its enemies.
You cannot hope to stand against the Lie-smith when he plays his games. |
Executioner: |
Sif: |
Today I stand only against you, Skurge. And of you and your woodcutter I have no fear. |
Lose[]
I need no Iso-8! The Bloodaxe is my strength! | Executioner: |
Repeat[]
Sif: |
Does your boasting never stop? |
Test my blade, and then tell me if I boast. | Executioner: |
Complete[]
Sif: |
I think he will not boast of the Bloodaxe for some time. |
Tony Stark: |
After that beating, he better not. |
Maria Hill: |
Wrap up the Iso-8 and get it back to the Helicarrier, Agent.
We'll clear out the rest of the Jotun in this area. Maybe Loki will show himself. |
Mission Complete[]
Maria Hill: |
Loki's out there somewhere still. If he's on a Wild Hunt, he's going to be looking for a prize at the end. |
Nick Fury: |
Let's make sure he doesn't get it. |
Mission 3[]
"It was only a matter of time before Loki appeared... but now he's appearing everywhere. If his powers are increasing, he must be stopped immediately."
— Mission Preview
Mission Start[]
Maria Hill: |
The Wrecking Crew have reunited, too. They're paired off and leading gangs of thugs and Jotun. |
Tony Stark: |
It's crazy out there. |
Thor: |
And will remain so until my brother is returned to Asgard in chains. |
Nick Fury: |
Time for the endgame, Agent. There's more Iso-8 to be kept out of the bad guys' hands.
And there's one trickster god to be sent packing, too. |
Tony Stark: |
He might think it's time for the Wild Hunt, but I've got a Christmas tree to decorate. Pepper's going to kill me if I'm late. |
Deploy 1[]
Screen Text[]
The Wrecking Crew is loose again. That's one time too many. Get someone over to the Raft and oversee some meaningful security improvements.
Start[]
Nick Fury: |
We might as well just kick 'em loose if all they're going to do is escape again. |
Complete[]
Nick Fury: |
All right. Sounds like the staff there finally got the memo. We can't send everyone to the Vault. We need the Raft airtight. |
Deploy 2[]
Screen Text[]
All this divine intervention has us a little nervous that some of the other pantheons might be getting ideas. Hercules is our best way to see whether the denizens of Mount Olympus want in on the Iso-8 game, too.
Start[]
Tony Stark: |
Herc. You're a jolly guy. Hail-fellow-well-met sort. Might need you to help us out. |
Hercules: |
Say the word. |
Nick Fury: |
Olympus. The word is Olympus. |
Hercules: |
A fine jest, but a serious errand. What is it you want? Speak plainly. |
Nick Fury: |
We need you to go to Olympus and see if the other... gods... are going to get jealous of the Asgardians and start something on their own. |
Hercules: |
The jealousies of the gods are beyond me to predict. But I will make the journey and learn what I may. |
Complete[]
Nick Fury: |
What's the word? |
Hercules: |
You jest again. My tidings, I fear, are without humor.
Ares alone of Olympians takes any interest in mortal doings. The rest are taken up with their own feuds and rivalries. |
Deploy 3[]
Screen Text[]
Some serious illusion magic is happening around here, Agent. We can't tell how many Jotun we're dealing with. Some of them might be disguised civilians.
Start[]
Tony Stark: |
I'm not sure if Strange or Wanda are free, but someone has to break this illusion so we don't end up thinking the local food-truck guy is a frost giant. |
Complete[]
Tony Stark: |
Ah, clarity. Well done. Let's hit them. |
Deploy 4[]
Screen Text[]
Someone's reporting a troll in Central Park. Run down the report and do what's needed.
Start[]
Maria Hill: |
A troll? |
Tony Stark: |
Right in Strawberry Fields. At least that's what we're hearing.
Chances are it's another illusion, but we'd better check it out. |
Complete[]
Maria Hill: |
Good thing I didn't bet. It was an illusion. |
Tony Stark: |
And we wasted time chasing it. Exactly what Loki wants. |
Thor: |
Not a waste at all. It was Loki in another form. Did you not see him? |
Tony Stark: |
Okay, I take it back. Loki running around disguised as a troll. Good to know. |
Deploy 5[]
Screen Text[]
A group of Jotun has created an ice cavern under the streets here. We can't pass without putting field teams in danger, and the minute we go after Loki the Jotun will flank us. What we can do is drop the Thing through the surface to take the Jotun out.
Start[]
Thing: |
Job for Johnny, isn't it? He can melt it faster'n I can mash it, probably. |
Tony Stark: |
We're going to drill you in through the street. Then you'll just have to mash your way out. How's that sound? |
Thing: |
Now that's more like it! |
Complete[]
Thing: |
Did I miss all the fun? Aw, man. |
MiniBoss - Wrecker/Piledriver[]
Reveal[]
Tony Stark: |
Wrecker and Piledriver are back for a return engagement. I don't know what Loki thinks he's doing.
I mean, would you try to use these mutts to recruit an army? |
Maria Hill: |
Loki has his own way of doing things, that's for sure. |
Nick Fury: |
We can't clear this area of Iso-8 until we've cleared it of Jotun and these two. Let's get to it. |
Start[]
Whoa, a girl with a sword. I'm a-scared. | Wrecker: |
Thought it was ours. | Piledriver: |
You're part of it. We're both officers but I'm in charge. | Wrecker: |
Valkyrie: |
Does Loki know that? |
Loki's got his plans, I've got mine. Neither of them includes you. | Wrecker: |
Lose[]
You hear that? Officers. This is an army now! | Wrecker: |
Repeat[]
Here comes the warrior lady again. Maybe you oughta let me be in charge. I'll take care of her. | Piledriver: |
Complete[]
Valkyrie: |
Now we must face Loki himself. |
Nick Fury: |
Let's get out there and do it, then. Field teams have recovered most of the Iso-8.
Also, we're choking off the portals the Jotun are using to get here. |
Tony Stark: |
All we need to do now is get rid of Loki, and then we can get on with the important Christmas stuff. I mean, of course, overeating and lots of loot. |
MiniBoss - Thunderball/Bulldozer[]
Reveal[]
Tony Stark: |
And there we are. The other half of the Wrecking Crew, Thunderball and Bulldozer. |
Nick Fury: |
Step into them, Agent. If we don't get this Iso-8 under control, New York's going to look like the set of a bad movie. |
Maria Hill: |
Valkyrie, you have the location? |
Valkyrie: |
I can see them from here. |
Start[]
Ah, the mighty Valkyrie. Check it out, Bulldozer. Sif decided she couldn't handle us. | Thunderball: |
This Valkyrie chick is going to find out the same. | Bulldozer: |
Valkyrie: |
Boast on, fools. You will find soon enough that your words mean nothing... but that is not a lesson words can teach.
So, let us begin. |
Lose[]
Better escort yourself off to Valhalla, lady! We'll stay right here. | Bulldozer: |
Repeat[]
Back for more? Bring it on, then. | Thunderball: |
Complete[]
Tony Stark: |
Down they go. Clear this area of Iso-8 and whatever stray Jotun you find. |
Nick Fury: |
And make it quick. Loki's still on the hunt. |
Boss - Valkyrie?[]
Reveal[]
Tony Stark: |
I guess all it takes is us pounding on his lieutenants to make Loki show himself. |
Nick Fury: |
He knows when it's time to make his appearance. |
Maria Hill: |
Agent, the Jotun are on the run and we've gotten most of the Iso-8 Loki scattered around the city. Let's finish this before he comes up with a new scheme. |
Nick Fury: |
He's jumping back and forth between here and Bifrost. On your go, we'll catch him on the Rainbow Bridge. Less collateral damage that way. |
Start[]
Good, you're here. Loki has already crossed the Bifrost. If we hurry, he can still be caught! | Valkyrie?: |
Nick Fury: |
You heard the lady, Agent. Let's move. |
Valkyrie: |
STOP! |
Nick Fury: |
What the- |
Valkyrie: |
An illusion! Ignore it! |
Tony Stark: |
Not that I mind the idea of twin Valkyries, but... what the hell is going on? |
Valkyrie: |
That is Loki the Deceiver who stands with you! He is leading you into a trap! |
...And what a snare it would have been. A fitting end to the Wild Hunt. | Loki: |
Valkyrie: |
I have a better end for it in mind. Give up, Loki. Your Jotun are scattered, your human thralls have abandoned you. You stand alone. |
As always. Yet even alone, I will take what is rightfully mine. First Midgard and then the throne of Hildskjalf itself. Then all will bow to me. | Loki: |
Lose[]
Apparently I am an army unto myself. | Loki: |
Repeat[]
Admit it, Brunnhilde. You enjoy fighting yourself. | Loki: |
Valkyrie: |
You are sick of mind, Lie-Smith. But I have the cure. |
Complete[]
Thor: |
Bravely fought, Valkyrie. |
Sif: |
Let us bring Loki to Asgard to answer for his crimes. Again. |
Valkyrie: |
Odin will take a special interest this time. The Wild Hunt is his to lead, and he will not look kindly on Loki's usurpation of it. |
Tony Stark: |
That's a conversation I'd pay money to see. |
Mission Complete[]
Nick Fury: |
If this was Loki's way of trying to crash the Syndicate, I don't think Doom's going to be too impressed. |
Tony Stark: |
Probably not. But Loki's got bigger problems explaining to his father what he was doing.
It's going to be a tense solstice around the fire in Asgard. |
