WarMachine Saga

“This is the Asgardian refugee vessel Statesman, We are under assault” I said into the radio. “I repeat, we are under assault” I continued. “The engines are dead, life support failing” I continued. “Requesting aid from any vessel within range, We are 22 jump points out of Asgard” I informed. “Our crew is made up of Asgardian families, We have very few soldiers here” I continued. “This is not a Warcraft, I repeat, this is not a Warcraft” I finished as I turned on stealth mode and snuck to the bridge.

“Hear me and rejoice, You have had the privilege of being saved by the Great Titan” said Maw. “You may think this is suffering, No, It is salvation” he continued. “Universal scales tip toward balance because of your sacrifice, Smile, For even in death, you have become Children of Thanos” he concluded.

“I know what it's like to lose, To feel so desperately that you're right… yet to fail, nonetheless” said Thanos as he turned around to face Loki, revealing Thor clutched by his hand. “It's frightening, Turns the legs to jelly” he continued. “But I ask you, to what end?” He asked. “Dread it, run from it... destiny arrives all the same, And now, it's here” he continued. “Or should I say, I am” he concluded.

“You talk too much” said Thor.

“The Tesseract Or your brother's head” said Thanos. “I assume you have a preference” he continued.

“Oh, I do, Kill away” said Loki. Thanos used the power stone on Thor to start killing him slowly. “All right, stop!” Said Loki. Thanos listening to him.

“We don't have the Tesseract, It was destroyed on Asgard” said Thor as Loki revealed he did indeed have the Tesseract. “You really are the worst brother” he continued.

“I assure you, brother, the sun will shine on us again” said Loki as he started handing the Tesseract to Thanos.

“Your optimism is misplaced, Asgardian” said Thanos.

“Well, for one thing, I'm not Asgardian” said Loki. “And for another, we have a Hulk” he continued as Hulk tackled Thanos.

“Let him have his fun” said Maw, stopping the children of Thanos from getting involved in the fight between there dad and the Hulk. After a short fight, Hulk was knocked out.

“All-fathers, let the dark magic flow through me one last time” said Heimdal as he used his bifrost powers to send Hulk to Earth.

“That was a mistake” said Glaive as he stabbed Heimdal in the heart.

“No!” Said Thor. “You're going to die for that” he continued.

“My humble personage, bows before your grandeur” said Maw. “No other being has ever had the might, nay, the nobility… to wield not one, but two Infinity Stones” he continued. “The universe lies within your grasp” he continued.

“There are two more stones on Earth, Find them, my children, and bring them to me on Titan” said Thanos.

“Father, we will not fail you” said Maw.

“If I might interject” said Loki. “If you're going to Earth, you might want a guide” he continued. “I do have a bit of experience in that arena” he concluded.

“If you consider failure experience” said Thanos.

“I consider experience, experience” said Loki. “Almighty Thanos… I, Loki, prince of Asgard… Odin-son… the rightful king of Jotunheim… god of mischief… do hereby pledge to you… my undying fidelity” he continued as he attempted to stab Thanos in the neck.

“Undying?” Asked Thanos as he picked him up by the neck and started to slowly tighten his grip. “You should choose your words more carefully” he continued.

“You… will never be… a god” said Loki as Thanos crushed his neck.

“No!” Said Thor.

“No resurrections this time” said Thanos as he used the Space Stone to teleport him and his children to their own ship.

“No, Loki” said Thor as he cried over his dead brothers body. I grabbed him and flew away from the ship as fast as I could, the explosion still knocked us out.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Ned, hey, we need you to cause a distraction” said Peter.

“Holy shit” said Ned. “We're all gonna die!” He yelled as he ran to the back of the bus. Me, Peter, Twilight and Rarity taking the chance to get off the bus and speed to the giant alien ship above New York.

“What's up, Mr. Stark?” Said Peter as the four of us got to Central Park.

“Kids, where'd you come from?” Asked Tony.

“A field trip to MoMA” I said.

“What is this guy's problem, Mr. Stark?” Asked Twilight.

“He's from space, He came here to steal a necklace from a wizard” said Tony as two floating people pass us. “Kid, that's the wizard, Get on it” he continued.

“On it!” Said Peter. As he swung after them, me and Twilight following him.

“Gotcha!” Said Peter as he grabbed Strange with his webs. “Wait!” He said as all three of them started getting sucked up into the ship.

“Mr. Stark, where being beamed up” said Peter after me and Twilight jumped into the beam as well.

“Hang on, kids” said Tony as him and Rarity came after us. The three of us started losing oxygen so Tony sent three sets of armor for us so we could breath, he also sent one for Rarity. We all, except Peter, ended up on the ship.

“Boss, incoming call from Miss Potts” said Friday.

“Yeah, I'm fine, I just think we might have to push our 8:30 res.” Said Tony, replying to Pepper. “Just 'cause I'll probably not make it back for a while” replied Tony. “Yeah” he replied again. “Honey, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I don't know what to say” he replied. “Pep” he replied again.

“Boss, we're losing her” said Friday.

“I'm going too” he replied one last time.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Who the hell are you guys?” Asked Thor as him and me woke up.

“The entire time I knew Thanos, he only ever had one goal” said Gamora. “To bring balance to the universe, by wiping out half of all life” she continued. He used to kill people planet by planet, massacre by massacre, Including my own” she continued. “If he gets all six Infinity Stones he can do it with the snap of his fingers” she concluded.

“You seem to know a great deal about Thanos” said Thor.

“Gamora is the daughter of Thanos” said Drax.

“Your father killed my brother” said Thor.

“Oh, boy” said most people present.

“Stepfather, technically, And she hates him as much as you do” I said.

“Families can be tough, Before my father died, he told me that I had a half-sister… that he imprisoned in Hell And then she returned home and stabbed me in the eye So I had to kill her” said Thor. “That's life though, isn't it, I guess, Goes round and round and… I feel your pain” he continued.

“I feel your pain as well, because… I mean, it's not a competition, but I've been through a lot” said Quill. “My father killed my mother, And then I had to kill my father, That was hard, Probably even harder than having to kill a sister” he continued. “Plus, I came out with both my eyes, which was…” he tried to say before Thor cut him off.

“I need a hammer” said Thor as he kept trying to steal their pod.

“What are you doing?” Asked Quill.

“Taking your pod” I said.

“No you're not, You will not be taking our pod today, sir” said Quill.

“Quill, are you making your voice deeper?” Asked Rocket.

“No” said Quill.

“You are” said Rocket.

“You're imitating the god-man, It's weird” said Drax.

“No, I'm not” said Quill.

“He just did it again!” Said Mantis.

“This is my voice” said Quill

“Are you mocking me?” Asked Thor.

“We need to stop Thanos” I said so this fight would stop.

“Which means we need to find out where he's going next” said Gamora.

“Knowhere” I said.

“He must be going somewhere” said Mantis.

“No, no, Knowhere?” Asked Quill. “It's a place, We've been there, It sucks” he continued.

“Thomas, why would he go to Knowhere?” Asked Gamora.

“Because for years the Reality Stone's been safely stored there with a man called the Collector” said Thor.

“If it's with the Collector, then it's not safe, Only an idiot would give that man a stone” said Drax.

“How do you know he's not going for one of the other stones?” Asked Gamora.

“There are six stones out there, Thanos already has the Power Stone because he stole it last week when he decimated Xandar” said Thor.

“He stole the Space Stone from us when he destroyed our ship and slaughtered half of Thor’s people” I said.

“The Time and Mind Stones are safe on Earth, They're with the Avengers” I said.

“The Avengers?” Asked Quill.

“Earth's mightiest heroes” said Thor.

“Like Kevin Bacon?” Asked Quill.

“No” I said.

“As for the Soul Stone, well, no one's ever seen that, No one even knows where it is” said Thor.

“Therefore Thanos can't get it, Therefore he's going to Knowhere, Hence he'll be getting the Reality Stone” I said.

“Then we have to go to Knowhere now” said Quill.

“Wrong. Where we have to go is Nidavellir” said Thor.

“That's a made-up word” said Drax.

“All words are made up” I said.

“Nidavellir is real, Seriously?” Asked Rocket. “That place is a legend, They make the most powerful, horrific weapons to ever torment the universe” he said. “I would very much like to go there, please” he continued.

“The rabbit is correct and clearly the smartest among you” said Thor. “Only Eitri the Dwarf can make me the weapon I need” he continued. “I assume you're the captain, sir” he concluded.

“You're very perceptive” said Rocket.

“You seem like a noble leader, Will you join us on our quest to Nidavellir?” Asked Thor.

“Yeah, I'll go” said Rocket. “Me and Groot will go with pirate angel here And the morons
will go to Knowhere to try to stop Thanos” he continued as me, Thor, Rocket and Groot got on the Pod and left.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Now, I thought we had a deal, Stay close, check in, don't take any chances” said Natasha.

“I'm sorry, We just wanted time” said Wanda.

“Where to, Cap?” I Asked.

“Home” said Cap.

“Mr. Secretary” said Cap to a hologram of Thunderbolt Ross as we all walked into the main meeting room of Avengers HQ.

“You got some nerve I'll give you that” said Ross.

“You could use some of that right now” I said.

“The world's on fire And you think all is forgiven?” Asked Ross.

“I'm not looking for forgiveness And I'm way past asking permission” said Cap. “Earth just lost her best defender, So we're here to fight And if you wanna stand in our way, we'll fight you too” he continued.

“Arrest them” said Ross.

“All over it” said Rhodey as he dismissed the hologram. “That's a court-martial, It's great to see you, Cap” he continued.

“You too, Rhodey” said Cap.

“Wow, You guys really look like crap, Must've been a rough couple years” said Rhodey.

“Yeah, well, the hotels weren't exactly five star” said Natasha.

“I think you look great” said Bruce as he walked into the room. “Yeah, I'm back” he continued.

“Hi, Bruce” said Natasha.

“Nat” said Bruce. “Where's Clint?” He asked.

“After the whole Accords situation, he and Scott took a deal, It was too tough on their families, They're on house arrest” I said.

“Who's Scott?” Asked Bruce.

“Ant-Man” said Cap.

“There's an Ant-Man and a Spider-Man?” Asked Bruce before he got himself and everybody else back on track. “Okay, look, Thanos has the biggest army in the universe and he is not gonna stop until he gets Vision's stone” he continued.

“Then we have to protect it” said Wanda.

“No, we have to destroy it” said Vision. “I've been giving a good deal of thought to this entity in my head, About its nature, But also its composition” he continued. “I think if it were exposed to a sufficiently powerful energy source something very similar to its own signature, perhaps its molecular integrity could fail” he concluded.

“Yeah, and you with it” said Wanda.

“We're not having this conversation” said Cap.

“Eliminating the stone is the only way to be certain that Thanos can't get it” said Vision.

“That's too high a price” said Wanda.

“Thanos threatens half the universe, One life cannot stand in the way of defeating him” said Vision.

“But it should” said Cap. “We don't trade lives, Vision” he continued.

“Captain, 70 years ago, you laid down your life to save how many millions of people?” Asked Vision. “Tell me, why is this any different?” He continued.

“Because you might have a choice” said Cap.

“Your mind is made up of a complex construct of overlays” said Bruce. “Jarvis, Ultron, Tony, me, the stone” he continued. “All of them mixed together, all of them learning from one another” he concluded.

“You're saying Vision isn't just the stone?” Asked Wanda.

“I'm saying that if we take out the stone there's still a whole lot of Vision left, Perhaps the best parts” said Bruce.

“Can we do that?” Asked Natasha.

“Not me, not here” said Bruce.

“Well you better find someone and somewhere fast, Ross isn't just gonna let you guys have your old rooms back” said Rhodey.

“I know somewhere” said Cap.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Peter revealed to all of us that he had actually stayed on the ship.

“You should not be here” said Tony.

“I was gonna go home” said Peter.

“I don't wanna hear it” said Tony.

“But it was such a long way down and I just thought about you on the way and kinda stuck to the side of the ship” said Peter. “And this suit is ridiculously intuitive, by the way, So, if anything, it's kinda your fault that I'm here” he continued.

“What did you just say?” Asked Tony.

“I take that back” said Peter. “And now, I'm here in space” he continued.

“Yeah, right where I didn't want you to be, This isn't Coney Island, This isn't a field trip, This is a one-way ticket, You hear me? Don't pretend you thought this through” said Tony.

“No, I did think this through” said Peter.

“You could not have possibly thought this through” said Tony.

“You can't be a friendly neighborhood Spider-Man if there's no neighborhood” said Peter. “Okay, that didn't really make sense, but you know what I'm trying to say” said Peter.

“Come on, We got a situation” said Tony. “See him down there? He's in trouble, What's your plan?” He asked.

“Did you ever see this really old movie, Aliens?” Asked Peter.

After we successfully sent Maw out of the impromptu airlock Tony and the wizard started fighting.

“This ship is self-correcting its course, Things on autopilot” said Strange. “Can we control it… Fly us home… Stark?” He asked.

“Yeah” said Tony.

“Can you get us home?” Asked Strange.

“Yeah, I heard you” said Tony. “I'm thinking I'm not so sure we should” he continued.

“Under no circumstances can we bring the Time Stone to Thanos” said Strange. I don't think you quite understand what's at stake here” he continued.

“What? No, It's you who doesn't understand that Thanos has been inside my head for two years, Since he sent an army to New York and now he's back And I don't know what to do” said Tony. “So I'm not so sure if it's a better plan to fight him on our turf or his but you saw what they did, what they can do” he continued. “At least on his turf, he's not expecting it, So I say we take the fight to him” he continued. “Doctor, Do you concur?” He asked.

“All right, Stark, We go to him But you have to understand if it comes to saving you
or the kids or the Time Stone I will not hesitate to let any of you die, I can't, because the universe depends on it” said Strange.

“Nice, Good, moral compass” I said as Tony turned to the only kid who wasn't an Avenger.

“All right, kid, You're an Avenger now” he said.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“I am Groot”

“Tinkle in the cup” said Rocket. “We're not looking, What's there to see?” He asked Sarcastically.

“I am Groot” said Groot.

“Tree, pour what's in the cup out into space and go in the cup again” said Thor.

“You speak Groot?” Asked Rocket.

“Yes, they taught it on Asgard” said Thor. “It was an elective” he continued.

“I am Groot” said Groot.

“You'll know when we're close” I said.

“Nidavellir’s forge harnesses the blazing power of a neutron star” said Thor. “It's the birthplace of my hammer” he continued. “It's truly awesome” he finished as he sat down looking quite depressed.

“Okay, time to be the captain” Rocket whispered to himself. “So, dead brother, Yeah, that could be annoying” he said.

“Well, he's been dead before” I said.

“But, no, this time I think it really might be true” said Thor.

“And you said your sister and your dad?” Asked Rocket.

“Both dead” said Thor.

“But still got a mom, though?” Asked Rocket.

“Killed by a dark elf” said Thor.

“A best friend?” Asked Rocket.

“Stabbed through the heart” said Thor.

“You sure you're up to this particular murder mission?” Asked Rocket.

“Absolutely” said Thor. “Rage and vengeance, anger, loss, regret, they're all tremendous motivators” he continued. “They really clear the mind, So I'm good to go” he concluded.

“Yeah, but this Thanos we're talking about he's the toughest there is” said Rocket.

“Well, he's never fought me” said Thor.

“Yeah, he has” I said.

“He's never fought me twice And I'm getting a new hammer, don't forget” said Thor.

“It better be some hammer” said Rocket.

“You know, I'm 1,500 years old, I've killed twice as many enemies as that And every one of them would've rather killed me, but none succeeded” said Thor. “I'm only alive because fate wants me alive, Thanos is just the latest in a long line of bastards and he'll be the latest to feel my vengeance, Fate wills it so” he continued.

“And what if you're wrong?” Asked Rocket.

“If I'm wrong, then, what more could I lose?” Asked Thor.

“I could lose a lot, Me, personally, I could lose a lot” I said.

“Okay, If fate does want you to kill that crap-sack you're gonna need more than one stupid eyeball” said Rocket as he handed Thor as a prosthetic eye.

“What's this?” Asked Thor.

“What's it look like?” I asked.

“Some jerk lost a bet with me on Contraxia” said Rocket.

“He gave you his eye?” I asked.

“No, he gave me 100 credits, I snuck into his room later that night and stole his eye” said Rocket.

“Thank you, sweet rabbit” said Thor as he put the eye in his eye socket.

“I would've washed that, The only way I could sneak it off Contraxia was up my…” Rocket tried to say before I cut him off.

“Hey, we're here!” I said.

“I don't think this thing works, Everything seems dark” said Thor.

“It ain't the eye” said Rocket.

“Something's wrong, The star's gone out And the rings are frozen” said Thor as Rocket landed the ship.

“I hope these dwarves are better at forging than they are cleaning” I said.

“Maybe they realized that they live in a junk pile in the middle of space” said Rocket.

“This forge hasn't gone dark in centuries” said Thor.

“You said Thanos had a gauntlet, right?” Asked Rocket.

“Yes, why?” I asked.

“It look anything like that?” Asked Rocket pointing to a gauntlet to our side.

“I am Groot” said Groot.

“Go back to the pod” I said as a giant tackled Thor.

“Eitri, wait! Stop! Stop” said Thor before Eitri could punch his face in.

“Thor?” Asked Eitri.

“What happened here?” I asked.

“You were supposed to protect us, Asgard was supposed to protect us” said Eitri.

“Asgard is destroyed” I said.

“Eitri, the glove, What did you do?” Asked Thor.

“Three hundred dwarves lived on this ring, I thought if I did what he asked, they'd be safe” said Eitri. “I made what he wanted, A device capable of harnessing the power of the stones, Then he killed everyone anyway, All except me” he continued. "’Your life is yours,’ he said ‘But your hands are mine alone’” he concluded.

“Eitri, this isn't about your hands, Every weapon you've ever designed, every ax, hammer, sword it's all inside your head” said Thor. “Now, I know it feels like all hope is lost, Trust me, I know, But together, you and I, we can kill Thanos” he continued.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Hey, what's going on?” I asked.

“I think we're here” said Rarity.

“I don't think this rig has a self-park function” said Twilight.

“Get your hand inside the steering gimbal” said Tony as Peter put his hand in one of the two steering gimbals. “Close those around it, You understand?” He asked.

“Yep, got it” said Peter.

“This was meant for one big guy, so we gotta move at the same time” said Tony.

“Okay, Ready” said Peter.

“We might wanna turn” I said looking out the window.

“Turn! Turn! Turn!” Yelled Tony as him and Peter turned the ship and crashed it. “Y'all all right?” He asked.

“Let me just say, if aliens wind up implanting eggs in my chest or something and I eat one of you, I'm sorry” said Peter randomly.

“I do not want another single pop culture reference out of you for the rest of the trip, You understand?” Asked Tony.

“I'm trying to say that something is coming” said Peter as three strangers busted into the ship.

“Thanos!” Yelled the one in red as he took Peter hostage and Tony took the shirtless one hostage. “I'm gonna ask you this one time, Where is Gamora?” He asked.

“I'll do you one better, Who's Gamora?” Asked Tony.

“I'll do you one better” said the shirtless one from under Tony’s foot. “Why is Gamora?” He asked.

“Tell me where the girl is or I swear to you I'm gonna French fry this little freak” said Red.

“Let's do it. You shoot my guy and I'll blast him, Let's go!” Said Tony.

“Do it, Quill! I can take it” said Shirtless.

“No, he can't take it!” Said the bug looking lady.

“She's right, You can't” said Tony.

“You don't wanna tell me where she is?” Asked Red. “That's fine I'll kill all three of you and I'll beat it out of Thanos myself, Starting with you” he continued.

“Wait, what, Thanos?” I asked.

“All right, let me ask you this one time” said Strange. “What master do you serve?” He asked.

“What master do I serve?” Asked Red. “What am I supposed to say, ‘Jesus’?” He asked.

“You're from Earth” said Tony.

“I'm not from Earth, I'm from Missouri” said Red.

“That's on Earth, dipshit” I said.

“So you're not with Thanos?” Asked Rarity.

“With Thanos?” Asked Red. “No, I'm here to kill Thanos, He took my girl” he said. “Wait, who are you?” He asked.

“We're the Avengers, man” said Peter.

“You're the ones Thor told us about” said Bug.

“You know Thor?” Asked Tony.

“Tall guy, not that good-looking, needed saving” said Red.

“Where is he now?” I asked.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“This is the plan?” Asked Rocket. “We're gonna hit him with a brick?” He asked.

“It's a mold, A king's weapon, Meant to be the greatest in Asgard” said Eitri. “In theory, it could even summon the Bifrost” he continued.

“Did it have a name?” I asked.

“Stormbreaker” said Eitri.

“So how do we make it?” Asked Thor.

“You'll have to restart the forge, Awaken the heart of a dying star” said Eitri.

“Rabbit, fire up the pod” said Thor.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“The hell happened to this planet?” Asked Quill. “It's eight degrees off its axis, Gravitational pull is all over the place” he continued.

“We got one advantage, He's coming to us, We'll use it” said Tony. “All right, I have a plan Or at least the beginnings of one, It's pretty simple, We draw him in, pin him down, get what we need” he continued. “Definitely don't wanna dance with this guy, We just want the gauntlet” he said as Drax yawned. “Are you yawning?” He asked. “In the middle of this, while I'm breaking it down?” He asked. “Did you hear what I said?” He continued.

“I stopped listening after you said, ‘We need a plan’” said Drax.

“See, ‘not winging it’ isn't really what they do” said Quill.

“What exactly is it that they do?” I asked.

“Kick names, take ass” said Mantis.

“That's right” said Drax.

“All right, just get over here, please” said Tony. “Mr. Lord, can you get your folks to circle up?” He asked.

“Star-Lord is fine” said Quill.

“We gotta coalesce 'Cause if all we come at him with is a plucky attitude” Tony tried to say before Quill cut him off.

“Dude, don't call us plucky, We don't know what it means” said Quill. “All right, we're optimistic, yes, I like your plan” he continued. “Except it sucks, so let me do the plan and that way it might be really good” he concluded.

“Tell him about the dance-off to save the universe” said Drax.

“What dance-off?” Asked Twilight.

“It's nothing” said Quill.

“Like in Footloose, the movie?” Asked Peter.

“Exactly like Footloose, Is it still the greatest movie in history?” Asked Quill.

“It never was” I said.

“Don't encourage this, all right?” Asked Tony.

“Okay” me and Peter said.

“Excuse me” said Mantis. “But does your friend often do that?” She asked pointing to Strange levitating in the air and shaking about.

“Strange, we all right?” Asked Tony as Strange came to his senses. “You're back, You're all right” he said.

“What was that?” I asked.

“I went forward in time to view alternate futures, To see all the possible outcomes of the coming conflict” said Strange.

“How many did you see?” Asked Quill.

“Fourteen million six-hundred five” said Strange.

“How many did we win?” Asked Tony.

“One” said Strange.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Drop to two-thousand six-hundred, heading zero-three-zero” said Cap.

“I hope you're right about this Or we're gonna land a lot faster than you want to” said Rhodey as we flew through Wakanda’s camouflage.

“Should we bow?” Asked Bruce as we walked off the recently landed quinjet.

“Yes, he's a king” said Rhodey.

“Seems like I'm always thanking you for something” said Cap as Bruce bowed.

“We don't do that here” said T’Challa. “So how big of an assault
should we expect?” He asked.

“Sir, I think you should expect quite a big assault” said Bruce.

“How we looking?” Asked Cap.

“You will have my Kings guard, the Border Tribe, the Dora Milaje, and” T’Challa tried to say before being cut off.

“And a semi-stable hundred-year-old man” said Bucky.

“How you been, Buck?” Asked Cap.

“Not bad, for the end of the world” said Bucky as we started walking to Shuri's lab.

“The structure is polymorphic” said Shuri when she was done scanning Vision.

“Right, we had to attach each neuron non-sequentially” said Bruce.

“Why didn't you just reprogram the synapses to work collectively?” Asked Shuri.

“Because we didn't think of it” said Bruce.

“I'm sure you did your best” said Shuri.

“Can you do it?” Asked Wanda.

“Yes, but there are more than two trillion neurons here, One misalignment could cause a cascade of circuit failures, It will take time” said Shuri.

“How long?” Asked Cap.

“As long as you can give me” said Shuri.

“Something's entered the atmosphere” said a guard.

“Hey, Cap, we got a situation here” said Rhodey. “We got more incoming outside the dome” he continued.

“It's too late, We need to destroy the stone now” said Vision as he started to sit up.

“Vision, get your ass back on the table” said Wanda.

“We will hold them off, Wanda, as soon as that stone's out of his head you blow it to hell” said Cap.

“I will” said Wanda.

“Evacuate the city, Engage all defenses, And get this man a shield” said T’Challa.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“I don't think you get the scientifics here, These rings are gigantic” said Rocket. “You wanna get them moving you're gonna need something a lot bigger to yank 'em loose” he continued.

“Leave that to me” said Thor.

“Leave it to you?” Asked Rocket as Thor managed to get the rings moving.

“That's Nidavellir” I said.

“Damn it” said Eitri.

"’Damn it’?” Asked Rocket. “What's ‘damn it’?” He continued.

“The mechanism is crippled” said Eitri.

“What?” Asked Rocket.

“With the iris closed, I can't heat the metal” said Eitri.

“How long will it take to heat it?” I asked.

“A few minutes, maybe more, Why?” Asked Eitri.

“I'm gonna hold it open” said Thor.

“That's suicide” said Rocket.

“So is facing Thanos without that ax” I said.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“”I've got two heat signatures breaking through the tree line” said Rhodey as Natasha, Cap and T’Challa walked to the edge of the shield.

“They surrender?” Asked Bucky.

“Not exactly” said Cap as there outriders started forcing themselves through the shield.

“What the hell?” Asked Bruce.

“Looks like we pissed her off” said Natasha.

“They're killing themselves” said Okoye. As they changed their strategy and started running around the shield.

“Cap, if these things circle the perimeter and get in behind us, there's nothing between them and Vision” said Rhodey.

“Then we better keep 'em in front of us” I said.

“How do we do that?” Asked Bruce.

“We open the barrier” said T’Challa. “On my signal, open North-West Section Seventeen” he continued. “On my signal” he concluded.

“This will be the end of Wakanda” said M’baku.

“Then it will be the noblest ending in history” said Okoye.

“Wakanda forever!” Yelled T’Challa. “Now!” He yelled as the small section of the shield opened and everybody charged. “How much longer, Shuri?” He asked through his communicator. “You might want to pick up the pace” he replied to her response.

“All-fathers, give me strength” said Thor as he got ready to open the iris.

“You understand, boy, You're about to take the full force of a star” said Eitri. “It'll kill you” he continued.

“Only if I die” said Thor.

“Yes, That's what killing you means” I said as Thor opened the iris.

“Hold it! Hold it, Thor!” Said Eitri. After the ax was properly forged Thor shot into the room we were all in because of the iris’s blast. “Thor! Say something, Come on” said Eitri.

“Thor, you okay?” asked Rocket.

“I think he's dying” I said.

“He needs the ax!” Yelled Eitri. “Where's the handle?” He asked himself. “Tree, help me find the handle!” He yelled as Groot grabbed the hammer and ax parts of Stormbreaker and cut his arm off, turning it into the handle. It flew to Thor’s hand and resurrected him. He summoned the Bifrost and we started traveling to Earth. We landed but before the portal closed Thor threw his ax and killed hundreds of outriders, then the portal disappeared.

“You guys are so screwed now!” Said Bruce as Karen flew over to me in the copy of my armor I had made. I jumped out of my current armor and into that set.

“Good to see you again Karen” I said.

“Good to see you as well Sir” said Karen

“Bring me Thanos!” Yelled Thor as he charged into the battle. Me, Rocket and Groot close behind.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“You're much more of a Thanos” said Strange as Thanos came through a portal.

“I take it the Maw is dead” said Thanos. “This day extracts a heavy toll, Still, he accomplished his mission” he continued.

“You may regret that, He brought you face-to-face with the Master of the Mystic Arts” said Strange.

“And where do you think he brought you?” Asked Thanos.

“Let me guess, Your home?” Asked Strange.

“It was, And it was beautiful” said Thanos as he used the red stone to show us what this world used to look like. “Titan was like most planets, Too many mouths, not enough to go around And when we faced extinction, I offered a solution” he continued.

“Genocide” said Strange.

“But random, dispassionate, fair to rich and poor alike, They called me a madman And what I predicted came to pass” said Thanos.

“Congratulations, you're a prophet” said Strange.

“I'm a survivor” said Thanos.

“Who wants to murder trillions” said Strange.

“With all six stones, I could simply snap my fingers, They would all cease to exist, I call that mercy” said Thanos.

“And then what?” Asked Strange.

“I'd finally rest and watch the sun rise on a grateful universe” said Thanos. “The hardest choices require the strongest wills” he continued.

“I think you'll find our will equal to yours” said Strange.

“Our?” Asked Thanos as we all started attacking him left and right, up and down until a blue alien girl came out of nowhere and started helping us which gave us the advantage we needed to finally pin him.

“Where's Gamora?” Asked Quill.

“Is he under?” Asked Tony. “Don't let up” he continued.

“Be quick, He is very strong” said Mantis.

“Kids, help! Get over here, She can't hold him much longer” said Tony. “Let's go, We gotta open his fingers to get it off” he continued.

“I thought you'd be hard to catch” said Quill. “For the record, this was my plan, You're not so strong now, huh?” Asked Quill. “Where is Gamora?” he asked.

“My Gamora” said Thanos.

“No, bullshit! Where is she?” Asked Quill.

“He is in anguish” said Mantis.

“Good” said Quill.

“He, He mourns” said Mantis.

“What does this monster have to mourn?” Asked Quill.

“Gamora” said the random blue alien.

“What?” Asked Quill.

“He took her to Vormir, He came back with the Soul Stone, But she didn't” said Blue.

“Okay, Quill, you gotta cool it right now, You understand?” Asked Tony. “Don't, don't, Don't engage, We almost got this off!” Yelled Tony.

“Tell me she's lying” said Quill. “Asshole, tell me you didn't do it!” He said.

“I had to” said Thanos.

“No, you didn't, No, you didn't, No, you didn't!” Yelled Quill as he started slamming Thanos’s face with the but of his gun.

“Quill!” Yelled Tony as me and Rarity left him to try and stop quill.

“Hey, stop! Hey, stop! Stop! Hey, stop! Stop!” I kept saying on repeat as I tried to push him away from Thanos, Rarity helping by trying to pull him away.

“It's coming, it's coming. We got it, We got it!” said Peter as Thanos woke from his trance and got the gauntlet back on his hand and stood up and grabbed the nearest moon with the space stone and threw it at us.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“New haircut?” Asked Cap.

“Noticed you've copied my beard” said Thor. “By the way, this is a friend of mine, Tree” he continued.

“I am Groot” said Groot.

“I am Steve Rogers” said Cap.

“Fall back! Fall back, now! Focus that fire on the left flank, Sam” said Rhodey.

“I'm doing it” said Sam as Wanda came down to join the fight. Leaving Vision vulnerable and Glaive went to kill him but we all stopped him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“I got you, I got you, I'm sorry I can't remember anybody's names” said Peter as he caught the guardians who were knocked unconscious and into the air by chunks of the moon.

“You're full of tricks, wizard” said Thanos as he picked up a beaten Strange. ”Yet you never once used your greatest weapon” he continued as he grabbed his necklace. “A fake” he said as it disappeared.

“You throw another moon at me, and I'm gonna lose it” said Tony as he landed not to far away from Thanos.

“Stark” said Thanos.

“You know me?” Asked Tony.

“I do, You're not the only one cursed with knowledge” said Thanos.

“My only curse is you” said Tony as he started using all his gizmos to beat the shit out of Thanos, only to scratch him once.

“All that for a drop of blood” said Thanos as he grabbed Tony’s sword and shoved it into his side. “You have my respect, Stark” he continued. “When I'm done, half of humanity will still be alive, I hope they remember you” he concluded as he went to kill Tony.

“Stop, Spare his life and I will give you the stone” said Strange.

“No tricks” said Thanos as Strange sent him the Time Stone.

“Don't” I said from my spot on the ground, one of my legs broken.

“One to go” said Thanos as he placed the stone in his gauntlet.

“Where is he?” Asked Quill after he finally woke up. “Did we just lose?” He asked.

“Why would you do that?” Asked Tony.

“We're in the endgame now” said Strange.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Cap, That's him” said Bruce as Thanos stepped out of a portal that had just formed.

“Eyes up, Stay sharp” said Cap.

“Wanda, It's time” I said.

“No” said Wanda.

“They can't stop him, Wanda, but we can” said Vision. “Look at me, You have the power
to destroy the stone, You must do it. Wanda, please” he continued. “We are out of time” he concluded.

“I can't” said Wanda.

“Yes, you can, You can” said Vision. “If he gets the stone, half the universe dies” he continued.

“It's not fair” said Wanda.

“It shouldn't be you, but it is” said Vision. “It's all right, You could never hurt me, I just feel you” he continued as Thanos made his way to them and Wanda almost destroyed the stone. “I love you” he said as the stone was finally destroyed and blew up, him along with it.

“I understand, my child, Better than anyone” said Thanos as he approached Wanda, him having already disabled the other Avengers, including myself.

“You could never” said Wanda.

“Today, I lost more than you can know” said Thanos. “But now is no time to mourn, Now is no time at all” said Thanos as he used the time stone to reverse visions death and the destruction of the time stone.

“No!” Said Wanda as Thanos grabbed the stone and pulled it out of Vision’s head and placing it in his gauntlet. Suddenly Thor came out of nowhere and planted Stormbreaker in Thanos’s chest.

“I told you you'd die for that” said Thor.

“You should have gone for the head” said Thanos as he snapped his fingers.

“No!” Yelled Thor. “What did you do?” Asked Thor as Thanos used the Space Stone to leave.

“Where'd he go?” Asked Cap. “Thor, Where'd he go?” He asked.

“Steve?” Asked Bucky as he dusted away.

“Up, General, Up!” said T’Challa as he reached for Okyeo’s hand. “This is no place to die” he said as he dusted away.

“I am Groot” said Groot as he dusted away.

“No, no, no!” Said Rocket. “Groot no” he continued.

“Sam!” Yelled Rhodey as Sam dusted away “Sam, where you at?” He asked.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Something's happening” said Mantis as she dusted away.

“Quill?” Asked Drax as he dusted away.

“Steady, Quill” said Tony.

“Oh, man” said Quill as he dusted away.

“Tony, There was no other way” said Strange as he dusted away.

“Mr. Stark?” Asked Twilight as she dusted away.

“Rainbow?” Asked Rarity as she dusted away.

“Mr. Stark?” Asked Peter. “I don't feel so good” he said.

“You're all right” said Tony.

“I don't, I don't know what's happening, I don't know” said Peter. “I don't want to go, I don't want to go, sir” he continued as he started dusting away. “Please, Please, I don't want to go, I don't want to go… I'm sorry” he said as he finished dusting away.

“He did it” said Blue.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“What is this, What the hell is happening?” Asked Rhodey.

“Oh, God” said Cap.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Hey girls” I said as I walked up to AJ, Pinkie and Flutters. “How's it going?” I asked.

“Good” said Flutters as she suddenly turned to dust and floated away.

“What the hell?” Asked AJ.

“Girls?” Asked Pinkie as she also turned to dust and floated away.

“AJ?” I asked.

“I'm not going anywhere” said AJ.

“What’s happening?” I asked.

“I don't know Sunset” said AJ. “But Thomas might” she said.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Still no word from Stark?” Asked Fury.

“No, not yet. We're watching every satellite in both hemispheres, there's still nothing” said Hill as she received a message.

“What is it?” Asked Fury.

“Multiple bogeys over Wakanda” said Hill.

“Same energy signatures as New York?” Asked Fury.

“Ten times bigger” said Hill.

“Tell Klein. We'll meet him at-” Fury tries to say before Hill yells.

“Nick!” Yelled Hill as the car in front of there's spirals out of control. Hill gets out and runs over to the car.

“They okay?” Asked Fury.

“There's no one here”said Hill. A helicopter crashes into a building, every citizens starts screaming. People start turning to dust left and right, the screaming gets worse.

“Call Control. Code Red” said Fury.

“Nick?” Asked Hill.

“Hill?” Asked Fury as he watcher turn to dust. He pulls out a pager and types a message. After he presses send he starts turning to dust. “Motherfucker” he said before completely turning to dust. The pager fell to the ground a weird logo flashing on it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“And don't get sucked into a time vortex, We won't be able to save you” said Janet.

“Okay, going subatomic in five, four, three, two, one” said hope as she pushed the button and sent Scott to the quantum realm.

"Okay,Healing particles secured for our new ghost friend” said Scott through the radio.

“Great, Preparing for reentry in five... four... three-" said Hope as her and her parents turn to dust.

“Hello? Very funny. Hank, quit screwing around, You told me yourself not to screw around. Hank! Hope? Janet! Guys. Guys! Okay, seriously, don't joke around, bring me up, let's go! GUYS?!" Yelled Scott, still stuck in the quantum realm, through the radio.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Okay, hold on. Don't shoot. You see where you're going?” Clint asked his daughter. She nods her head. “Okay, now let's worry about how you get there” he said. “Can you see?” he asked again.

“Yeah” said Lila.

“You sure?” Asked Clint. She nods her head again. Clint puts her hair in her face. “How about now?” He asked.

“Hey, you guys want mayo or mustard, or both?” Asked Laura from the picnic table

“Who wants mayo on a hotdog?” Asked Lila and Pietro at the same time.

“Probably your brothers” said Clint.

“Three mustard, please! Thanks, mama.

“Mayo or mustard?” Laura asked her two sons.

“How about ketchup?” Asked Nathaniel.

“Mind your elbow” said Clint as Lila released an arrow and got a bullseye.

“Good job, Hawkeye” said Pietro.

“Go get your arrow” said Clint.

“Hey guys! Enough practice, soup's on!” Yelled Laura.

“Alright, we're coming; we're hungry” said Clint after he turned to face where his wife was. He turned back around but Pietro and Lila where gone. There was dust blowing in the wind. “Lila, let's go” said Clint. “Lila?” He asked as he looked around. “Pietro?” He asked as he faced back to his two sons and wife. “Hey, babe? Babe? Babe! Boys? Boys!

20 days later, Avengers HQ

“This is a nightmare” said AJ and Steve.

“I've had better nightmares” said Nat as Rhodey and Sunset walked in.

“Hey” said Sunset.

“So that thing just stopped doing whatever the hell it was doing” said Rhodey. They head to the device Rhodey was talking about and see the pager Fury had used.

“What have we got?” Asked Nat.

“Whatever the signal is sending, it finally creeped off” said Bruce.

“I thought we bypassed the battery” said AJ.

“We did” said Rhodey.

“It's still plugged in, it just... it just stopped” said Sunset.

“Reboot and send the signal again” said Steve.

“We don't even know what this is” said Bruce.

“Fury did. Just do it, please. You tell me the second you get a signal. I want to know who's on the other end of that thing” said Nat as all of them turn around.

“Where's Fury?” Asked a blond woman.

To be concluded...
