Chapter 25 (Alternate)

Steve, shield in hand, ran over to Natasha and Clint to help them defend. He started to help push back the Chitauri more effectively with the shield. Clint focused on the soldiers who were on the high areas. The piles of rubbles were being used by the soldiers to snipe them out.

Thor and Hulk were destroying the waves of soldiers, combining their strengths. Hulk grabbed a piece of metal and threw it at the soldiers. Thor shot thunder on the metal to add another factor to it. It took down a group of Chitauri chargers.

Tony was shooting his way through the groups of soldiers going to the ship. He launched a dozen rockets which paved the way for Scott to regroup with the others.

"What's up guys?" Scott asked, taking a breather when he reached the group.

"I still predict a thousand Chitauri." Clint said, grabbing some arrows off the corpse of some of the dead soldiers.

"Sounds like a long shot." Scott said, looking into the distance. There were hundreds of Chitauri still running towards them, "Maybe a hundred thousand more?"

"Sounds about right." Natasha placed her batons on her back. She approached Tony, "How are we doing?"

"Alright. We're breezing right through." Tony joked, grabbing some shrapnel off his armour. "The three of us can handle here. Just keep on pushing them."

"Steve?" Natasha asked.

Steve looked at Natasha and Scott, "Let's go!"

Steve, Natasha, and Scott rushed towards the other side of the battle and started destroying the other Chitauri soldiers. Steve was using his shield to block the Chitauri soldiers shot. Clint joined them in the battle with his sword.

"What's the plan here?" Clint asked, slicing two Chitauri soldiers in half.

"Keep on pushing them away from Stark!" Steve commanded.

Thanos emerged in the battlefield, on the other side. He was wearing his full armour, gauntlet on his left and spear on the right. He was amused at the battle that was unfolding upon him, so he sat down on pieces of rubble and watched.

"Steve!" Natasha called, "Look who's watching."

Steve saw Thanos in the distance, smirking, "Don't focus on him, focus on the battle."

"Your call." Natasha scoffed, continuing to dismantle the Chitauri.

Tony and Thor were destroying the Chitauri. Thor was using his Stormbreaker effectively and Tony was unleashing the blasts of the Power stone upon the waves of Chitauri soldiers. There were cannons lining up towards them and Tony noticed.

"Bruce you going to take care of them or not?" Tony asked.

"I'm working on it!" Hulk shouted, struggling against the Chitauri soldiers with rockets.

The cannon shot Tony which sent him back a few feet. Thor gathered thunder into his Stormbreaker and unleashed it towards the waves. The cannon exploded and Thor looked at Tony.

"You could've done that earlier, man." Tony shook his head and checked his armour, "F.R.I.D.A.Y, how's the damage?"

"Suit is at 92%, boss."

"That's just great." Tony sighed, "Thanks Thor."

Steve was getting closer and closer to Thanos and he still wasn't moving. Scott, who was providing help beside Steve, realized that their other plan could work.

"Scott..." Steve called, walking over to Scott while knocking out the other Chitauri, "You remember the other plan?"

"Which one? You briefed me on six other plans." Scott hesitatingly said.

"The Time stone one."

"Oh right." Scott recalled, running up behind cover and saw Thanos, "Should we do that one?"

"He's free. He's got nothing to do." Steve said, knocking out a Chitauri sneaking behind them. "We have to do this. Tony."

"Yeah? We're a little bit busy right now." Tony answered, as he was struggling against a Chitauri on the other end.

"The purple bastard is all alone. We can get the Time stone."

"You better not be joking." Tony grunted.

"Then you better get your ass over here in two minutes." Steve said, as he and Scott got into a better position.

Steve and Scott got to the left side of Thanos, who wasn't aware of their location yet. Clint and Natasha were still fighting on their own while Hulk was terrorising the other Chitauri members. It was a total wasteland. The clouds were starting to form brown shadows around. There was fire starting to grow larger by the minute.

Tony and Thor landed on the other side of Thanos which had alerted the Mad Titan. He slowly stood up and grabbed the sword that was stuck to the ground. The four of them emerged from their hiding and walked slowly towards Thanos.

"You could not live with your own failure." Thanos sighed, "And where did that brought you? Well, back to me. When I'm done, the Avengers will be extinguished and a new balance shall be found in the universe. A universe without people trying to ruin perfection."

"I'm truly complimented." Tony joked.

Thanos nodded. He placed on his helmet and faced Tony and Thor. Thor got impatient and charged Thanos with Stormbreaker. He missed and Thanos grabbed his leg and through him into the other piles of rubble. Scott went small and started executing the plan. Tony and Steve teamed up and started taking on the Mad Titan together.

Natasha and Clint regrouped with Bruce on the other side and took down the Chitauri together. Hulk was taking down cannons and tanks quickly so they could not get a shot on the vulnerable members. Suddenly in the sky, three large spaceships arrived.

"What the hell is that?" Clint asked.

"Are those on our side?" Natasha asked.

The spaceships opened and multiple Chitauri worms started flying out of it, conquering the sky. One of the warships landed in the distance and started unloading its Outriders onto the battlefield.

"Oh shit." Hulk muttered.

"Uh... Cap?" Natasha called on her earphone. Nobody responded. "Bruce, we're on our own on this one."

"Is anyone using the tank?" Clint pointed at the empty Chitauri tank.

"Hurry up." Natasha said, running towards the large tank.

When they entered it, there were many buttons inside. Luckily, it was a two-seater. They started pressing random buttons to see which one worked. After some pressing, a large blaster shot right on front of Hulk.

"Easy on the shots!" Hulk shouted, as he prepared for battle.

"Sorry!" Natasha responded.

They finally found how to move it and aimed it towards the large Outrider army that was running towards them. Hulk hid behind the tank. Natasha and Clint started shooting blasters and rockets at them which resulted in large explosions throughout the battlefield.

Thanos got hit by one of the rockets which sent him back a little but didn't knock him out. He quickly got back up and striked Thor with his spear but missed. Thor hit Thanos in the knee with Stormbreaker which sent him standing on knee. Steve ran up the rubble to use it as a jumping pad and struck Thanos with his shield. Tony finished it off with a large blast from his arc reactor.

Unfortunately, Thanos absorbed it using the Power stone and shot it towards Steve which sent him back. Thor hit Thanos in the back with his axe but it just produced a ringing sound. Thanos turned around and grabbed Thor by the neck. Thor called Stormbreaker but Thanos deflected it with his bare hand. Tony came in and grabbed Thanos at the back. He grabbed Tony's helmet, and punched it with his Power stone, knocking him back into a pile of rubble.

"Mother-" Tony groaned as he tried to get out of the rubble, "update on the armour."

"84%, boss." F.R.I.D.A.Y. reported.

"Does it have enough for the plan?" Tony asked.

"It will have enough."

"Then I should..." Tony grunted as he stood up, "Keep it that way."

Thanos struck Thor with the Power stone across his face and Thor got knocked out. Steve threw his shield at Thanos which bounced off him, attacking him with the shield. He blocked him with his spear and Steve went over a pile of rubble.

He turned around and saw Scott giving Tony something. Thanos slowly approached the both of them. Scott turned around and ran towards Thanos. Before they collided, Scott grew small and he was out of sight. Tony was still recovering so Thanos went for him instead. Steve jumped behind him and tried to strangle him. Thanos grabbed Steve by the head and slammed him to the ground. He placed his knee on Steve's chest and punched him with the Power stone.

Steve groaned as he was almost unconscious. Thanos stood up and stared at Tony. Tony had two Time stones climb up to his right hand. Finally, the Reality stone climbed up to the middle of his right hand. Thanos checked his gauntlet and the Time stone was missing.

"F.R.I.D.A.Y, do it!" Tony shouted. A extra layer started forming around the Iron Man armour. It started to become thicker.

Thor swiped Thanos off his feet and he stood on one leg. Scott, in ant-form, punched Thanos on his face. He used the Reality stone to grow Scott back into regular size. Once he was back, Thanos used the Power stone and knocked him through several piles of rubble. Thor started to choke Thanos with the Stormbreaker and he was struggling. Thor summoned more thunder which started damaging Thanos. Thanos gathered some of the thunder using the Power stone, and shot it back at Thor using the Space stone.

By the time he got up, Tony was already standing right on front of him, fingers in a snap position.

"My turn." Tony muttered.

...

A white light consumed everyone's vision but it turned back to normal. Tony had most of his armour damaged and he was laying on a pile of rubble. He was in so much pain that he could barely stand.

"F.R.I.D.A.Y..." Tony muttered, dusting some rubble off his face, "suit percentage."

"28%, boss." F.R.I.D.A.Y. answered.

"Detect any injuries."

"Your ankle, boss. It was hit by multiple bricks."

"Start..." Tony grunted, trying to sit up, "healing up. Some of the cryotech should heal it up."

"On it, boss."

Tony could hear the ice shooting onto the ankle. He whimpered in pain but didn't make too much noise. He looked up, there were darker clouds than earlier. There were thunderstorms in the distnace. He was under what seems to be the remains of a building.

He tried to stand up, but his right ankle was allowing him. He fell right back to the floor and grunted in pain.

"Boss, I don't recommend you do that."

"I could tell F.R.I.D.A.Y." Tony scoffed and leaned around the rubble. There were more fire appearing and some water streams had formed from New York's water.

"Hey." Someone called.

Tony raised his arm repulser and aimed it quickly towards the voice. It was Natasha, who was bleeding a little on the top of her head. She slowly approached him.

"At least warn." Tony sighed, as she hid behind the cover Tony was using.

"Sorry. Was getting kind of lonely." Natasha said, peeking over the cover, "I don't see any Chitauri."

"Where are the others?" Tony muttered.

"Not responding." Natasha grunted, holding her arm in pain, "What the hell did you do? You really did a big explosion."

"I..." Tony grunted as his arm was also in pain, "brought everyone back. I think I... I think I merged the universes."

"I don't know what the hell you are talking about..." Natasha breathed heavily, "but you better be right."

"Unless I made it worse." Tony sighed, trying to stand up with his left leg.

Clint sneaked beside them and greeted them. He helped Tony stand up. "Where are the others?"

"I was about to ask the same to you." Natasha said, walking on front of them.

Clint rested Tony on a large pile of rock. Tony was sitting there, as the suit started healing his ankle better. Clint placed his bow and arrow on his back after he realized there was no one there.

"Did we win?" Clint asked.

"I don't know. It seems like it." Natasha sighed, looking around.

"Oh... you've got to be shitting me." Clint grabbed his bow and arrow, as he saw Thanos standing up in the distance.

Thanos dusted off the dirt off his spear. He looked into the distance, and saw the three of them. He powered up the Reality stone and shot it towards them.

Tony, who could barely stand, dropped to the floor and created a shield in front of them using the Mind stone. Natasha and Clint decided to not give Tony a hard time, running away from him.

Clint ran up the remains of the building and started shooting at Thanos with his bow. He set it to explosive which started bothering the Mad Titan. Natasha tried to find the others who were probably scattered around.

Thanos ignored Tony and decided to go for Clint. He started shooting beams of the Power stone at him. Clint was dodging the beams by doing parkour on top of the building. There was a small hole in the building and he jumped down. When he did, he was in an empty parking lot which was heavily damaged. There were pieces of rock falling onto the floor. The lights were flashing red. He heard movement above him which was Thanos.

He started running through the broken down parking lot as there were beams of Power stone shooting down towards him. Clint dodged it as best as he could. When he was nearing the end, Thanos coincidentally shot a gas tank beside Clint. Clint started running towards the end as the parking lot blew up behind him.

Thanos, heard an explosion and tried to check the exit below. Tony came in and tackled him to the wall. He was heavily injured and could die from the battle. Thanos grabbed Tony's helmet and ripped it apart. The nanites rebuilt his helmet quickly before Thanos punched him with the Power stone. He fell to the floor as he collided with the wall. Tony was trying to stand up with his left arm, as Thanos walked slowly.

"I spared you a great deal, Stark." Thanos sighed, walking closer, "Sadly, we cannot amend to that now."

Tony grunted in pain, as he stood on his left leg. He was now kneeling on front of him. Thanos smiled, as he slowly reached out for his head. Tony shot a Power stone blast at Thanos who got knocked a little, and got tackled to the wall by Thor. Thor and Thanos engaged in a battle, as they fought each other evenly. Tony shot a part of his suit to Thanos's hand to stop him from clenching his fist. Thor was swinging his axe aimlessly, hoping he would land the arm or the head. Thanos made Thor break Tony's tech on his hand. Once Thor realized this, he looked up to Thanos who was smirking. Thanos blasted Thor with the leftover thunder inside the Space stone. Thanos grabbed Thor by the head, and threw him across a small lake that formed. Tony jumped on his back, but Thanos quickly grabbed his arm and threw him beside Thor.

Thanos decided to walk over to the higher ground which was in the distance. Thor and Tony were clearly injured from their battle. Thanos smiled as he continued to walk towards the high ground. Once he reached it, he looked over at the bodies of Tony and Thor, who were recovering. He raised his gauntlet up, as the five stones lit.

Steve walked on front of Tony and Thor. Thanos seemed surprise by the captain, so he lowered his gauntlet. Instead, he smirked at him.

"The captain." Thanos chuckled, as his Chitauri army had fully regrouped behind him. There were still two ships in the air, still full of backup.

Steve breathed heavily, shield in hand, staring at the Thanos. Natasha approached behind him and stood with fierceness in her eyes. They weren't done yet.

"C'mon." Steve said, helping Thor up, "We ain't finish yet."

"Sure we don't need back-up, Steve?" Natasha asked.

"We can do it." Steve nodded.

Clint walked over to them, fully recovered from the explosion. He got behind Steve who was now helping Tony get up.

"Let's do it." Tony muttered to Steve. He then faced the four of them, "We're the Avengers. We have to finish this."

"I'm with you." Clint muttered.

"So am I." Thor grunted, summoning Stormbreaker.

"Let's finish it, boys." Natasha said.

Tony looked at Steve and nodded, "You trust me here."

"I do." Steve nodded and faced towards Thanos and his army.

The Chitauri and Outriders have fully formed behind Thanos and were now awaiting orders. Thanos grabbed his spear off one of the Chitauri who was handing it to him. He raised his gauntlet to show the Avengers he still had the upper hand.

"Let's finish this." Steve muttered, tightening his shield as blood flowed from his mouth.

The five Avengers were now slowly walking towards Thanos army. The Avengers knew what they were in for, their certain death. But they had to at least try. They at least had to avenge it.

The army of Thanos were also slowly walking towards them as well. Thanos was smirking as they seemed hopeless when they were charging at him. Suddenly, at an instant, Thanos halted his army. All of the Chitauri and Outriders stopped moving.

The Avengers also had to stop because of the pause. They were wondering why they had stopped attacking. All five of them turned around and saw a small spark of yellow starting to form a large circle. It had turned into a large one and it seemed to be a portal. The background was mostly a wasteland with tall structures. Strange was the first one to enter the fight.

"Captain." Strange nodded at Steve. The five Avengers seemed to be shocked at their arrival. Behind him, Quill, Mantis, And Drax appeared, preparing for battle. Behind Strange, Peter swung onto the battlefield and retracted his helmet. Tony had a smile forming on his face.

Steve nodded back as another portal formed beside them. The background was a open grassland with buildings behind it. Sam and Bucky appeared out of the portal and smiled at Steve.

"On your left." Sam chuckled lightly.

T'Challa, Shuri, in a Black Panther armour, M'Baku, and Okoye, appeared behind the both of them. T'Challa and Steve exchanged nods and T'Challa continued commanding his army.

"Yibambe!" T'Challa chanted and his army repeated, "Yibambe! Yibambe! Yibambe!"

Groot and Wanda followed them and prepared for battle. Multiple portals started opening which led to different planets and places. In the upper portals, the Ravager ships started appearing. Beside the Wakanda portal, the New Asgard place opened and Valkyrie and Korg appeared with the undead army they had attained earlier.

"Haha!" Thor chuckled in excitement.

Beside the Titan portal, the portals to the Sanctums in London, Hong Kong, and Kamar-Taj. Wong exited the Hong Kong Sanctum and stood beside Strange as more and more sorcerers exited. A large portal opened on the side and Kraglin and Howard the Duck led the other Ravager soldiers.

A small portal opened beside the Wakanda portal as Hope exited through it, growing larger and watching the heroes form. Another portal opened and an Iron Man suit landed coloured in white and blue.

"Now you decide to show up?" Tony asked, as Pepper opened her helmet. She was wearing an old model of the Mark XLLLV. "You never wear what I make."

"Maybe now I appreciate it." Pepper chuckled.

"Is that all of them?" Strange asked Wong.

"Like you wanted more?" Wong arrogantly asked.

In the distance, a pile of rubble exploded and Giant-Man appeared. The Hulk, Rhodey, Rocket, Nebula, and Carol. They all joined Tony and Steve in the middle and waited for them.

"Is this enough back-up, Romanoff?" Steve asked.

"Hell yeah." Natasha smiled, preparing her batons.

"Cap, I believe this is yours." Strange said, as a portal opened and dropped Mjolnir.

"That's mine, actually." Thor said, walking over to hold it.

Steve called Mjolnir and it went back to his hand. Tony, Hulk, Natasha, and Clint stood there in confusion.

"I knew it!" Thor shouted.

Steve stood there, shield and Mjolnir in hand, staring at Thanos's army who was looking anxious. Thor, Tony, and Hulk stood behind Steve who raised Mjolnir up in the air.

"What's the plan?" Carol asked, landing beside Tony.

"Cap?" Tony looked at Steve.

"Avengers!" Steve waited and lowered his Mjolnir. Everyone ready to fight. He muttered his last line, "assemble."

The Hulk shouted and the entire army of heroes started running towards the army of Thanos. Ravager ships started flying in the air. Ravagers, sorcerers, Asgardians, and the Wakandan army started running along with the heroes who saved the universe countless times. Steve, Tony and Thor were the first ones to strike, taking down multiple groups of Outriders. The two factions clashed in the middle. Blasters, explosions, and sorcerer spells were being down throughout the battlefield.

Tony, Pepper, and Rhodey grouped into the sky, starting to rain rockets and ammo around the battlefield. On the ground, Steve, Bucky, Thor, Rocket, Groot, Strange, Wong, and the Hulk were fighting in one group, trying to take down the Chitauri army.

Bucky was struggling as a Outrider jumped on his back and started hitting his head. Steve struck the Outrider with Mjolnir and it went flying in the distance.

"So..." Bucky held his head, "you get the badass weapons, huh?"

"Maybe you can get it some day, Buck." Steve chuckled.

"I missed the optimism." Bucky smiled, and continued shooting alongside Rocket.

"How's the arm?" Rocket joked.

"Still not getting it."

"Damn it." Rocket muttered. Groot looked his direction. "We're still not getting the arm, Groot."

"I am Groot." Groot sadly said.

Beside them, Thor was swinging Stormbreaker around while helping Wong and Strange. Strange casted a spell which dropped the Chitauri to the ground.

"Long way from drinking beers, eh?" Thor said.

"Agreed." Strange nodded, casting shields and attacking the Outriders jumping towards them.

On the far side of the battlefield, Thanos was attacking sorcerers and Ravagers. His spear was taking them down easily. When he saw the battle, he knew he was outnumbered. He grabbed the Power stone and prepared to punch the surface of the planet.

Carol landed and struck Thanos in the face. The Power stone fell to the floor and Carol kicked it to the side. Quill placed it inside a orb and flew away. Thanos shot a blast of the last thunder from Thor's attack and aimed it towards Quill. Carol shot a photon blast and it blocked the thunder. She then tackled Thanos to the ground and held his hand to the floor. This stopped him from clenching his fist. Thanos grabbed Carol by the arm and threw her away.

"Danvers, keep him busy." Steve commanded.

"No problem, Captain." Carol smiled and attacked Thanos.

Tony landed near Strange who was fighting against some Chitauri members. Strange threw multiple soldiers in the air and Tony shot blasters at each one.

"Hey!" Tony called, "Tell me this is it. Tell me this is where we come out on top."

"If I tell you, it won't happen." Strange said, fear in his eyes.

"But we're on the way to it, right?"

"Still not telling you."

"Fine." Tony sighed and looked around. "You better be right about this."

Strange nodded lightly. Suddenly Quill flew in and started breathing in relief. T'Challa ran into them too and stopped by for a breather.

"I got it." Quill sighed.

"Got what?" Tony asked.

Quill showed the orb in his hand and handed it to Strange, "Its the Power stone."

"The Power stone?" Strange gave it to T'Challa. "We have to keep it moving."

"Then why are you giving it to me?" T'Challa asked.

"Because we're playing hot potato."

"Good plan, Strange." Tony said, and looked the other direction, "And I think the game starts now."

There were many Outriders running towards them and chasing after the Power stone. T'Challa looked confused and looked at Tony.

"C'mon we're giving you a head start." Tony said, waving his hand away at T'Challa. "We'll keep them busy."

"We are?" Quill asked.

"Don't be a coward, Quill. It'll be fun."

T'Challa started running as Tony, Quill and Strange started taking down the Outriders in a hurry. T'Challa moved around quickly and precisely, taking down Chitauri soldiers as he ran around.

Clint was starting to struggle against more Outriders who were surrounding him. They were starting to rip off his armour furiously and he was getting scratches all over his neck. He was starting to feel blood ready to burst out of him. Suddenly all of the Outriders were thrown away from him in a red mist.

"I always have to save you, hm?" Wanda joked.

"I would say I'm holding up pretty well for a guy with a bow and arrow." Clint said, standing up.

"C'mon. We're not yet finished." Wanda chuckled and looked around. There was still two warships in the air, "What do you think are we going to do about that?"

Clint ran up beside her and looked in the air as well, "To be honest, I don't know what the hell we are going to do." He got on his earphone, "Cap, the warships?"

"Is it shooting?"

"Doesn't seem like it."

"Then stop staring at it."

"Got you." Clint looked at Wanda.

"What did he say?" Wanda asked curiously.

"Told me to fuck off." Clint said. Wanda nodded her head slightly, "Keep doing you."

Clint started running away and Wanda chuckled slightly. She flew away and decided to help Scott and Hope who were fighting off Chitauri cannons.

Tony was flying around, looking for T'Challa who was still running around with the Power stone. Instead, he was shot by a powerful cannon and landed on the ground. When he landed, multiple Chitauri soldiers saw him and aimed their weapons at him. Tony was still recovering and couldn't shoot back. Peter landed behind the Chitauri soldiers and shot webs. It attached to them, and he flung them back. Tony was struggling to stand up and Peter jumped towards him to help him.

"Mr. Stark." Peter said and helped him up. Tony retracted his helmet and looked at him, "You would not believe what happened. So, when I turned to dust we got teleported to another dimension..." Peter paused and Tony gave him a confused look, "and I suddenly woke up back at the orange planet and Doctor Strange said-"

Tony suddenly hugged him and Peter took it in. Tony hugged him tightly and watched as the battle in the background unfolded. He gave Peter a little child kiss on the cheek and patted him on the back.

"Well, this is nice." Peter muttered.

Tony let go and got his helmet back on. Peter was standing there confused, "Help out, Strange, kid. He's going to need you."

"Sure, Mr. Stark!" Peter shouted, and started swinging towards Strange.

Carol continued to take down Thanos who was already struggling without the Power stone. His attacks with the Reality stone were not effective due to Carol's photon blasts. The Mind and Soul stones were not of use at the moment. The Space stone was only being used to deflect Carol's shots.

Thor landed beside Carol and started unleashing his attacks against Thanos. Carol held Thanos's arm towards the ground and Thor held Stormbreaker in the air. He chopped Thanos's arm with fury but he did not shout. Suddenly it was just an illusion from the Reality stone and punched Thor away. Carol held Thanos in the hand and stopped him from clenching.

"Rain fire!" Thanos shouted.

Carol's eyes popped out and looked up into the air. Both of the warships had their weapons pointed downwards and started firing. Carol did not receive any damage but she thought whether she should let go.

"Danvers! What the hell is happening?" Steve asked in the earphone.

"He requested a rain fire!" Carol shouted in the earphone. She continued to stop clenching his fist, "Should I destroy the ships?!"

"Don't! Keep him there!" Steve said. "Anyone in the feed who has explosives?!"

Natasha stopped fighting alongside M'Baku, Shuri, and Okoye and looked up to the ships. She grabbed the explosives which was on her waist. It had enough explosion power to blow up the two ships.

"Steve! I have the explosives." Natasha said in the earpiece, running over to the umbrellas the sorcerers were creating.

"Get Barton and start getting to those ships! We need to blow them!" Steve commanded.

Natasha smartly moved around the battlefield and regrouped with Clint in the halfway. They didn't have time to talk as the blasters we're heavily dominating the battlefield. Everyone was trying to protect themselves instead of fighting each other. Clint and Natasha arrived at the bottom of the warships where they were firing.

"So..." Clint looked at the explosives, "we just shoot these up?"

"No can do. If we grapple it up, it will fall by itself." Natasha said.

"We have to bring it up ourselves?" Clint asked.

"That's basically..." Natasha sighed, "it."

Clint took a deep sigh and wiped the tear out of his eye. He looked at Natasha and placed his hand on her shoulder. She was bowing down and laid her head on his arm.

"I've done... some bad things, Nat." Clint said.

"I don't judge people by their mistakes." Natasha, teary-eyed, muttered.

"You probably should."

Natasha nodded silently.

Clint sighed, "You probably know who's going to go."

"I guess." Natasha smiled lightly.

They both exchanged small laughs and looked at each other again. They both looked confused and scared in their eyes.

Clint chuckled slightly, "I think we're referring to two different people here."

"I'm not going to let Laura live without a husband."

"And I'm not going to let my past mistakes stay in my head." Clint places his hand on her shoulder again, "Please, Natasha. Let me have this."

Natasha sniffed, "Fine. You win."

"Thanks." Clint smiled. Suddenly he tackled her to the ground and placed his bow on her neck, preventing her from standing up, "You have to give this to me Natasha."

Clint grabbed Natasha's grapple from her waist and shot it up. The explosives were on the floor and he grabbed it. He started to grapple up but she shot a triangular taser trap on the floor and it started tasing him. She wrapped her legs around his waist and started to pull him down. She pulled him to the ground. He was still holding the grapple in his hand but she slapped him in the wrist and managed to hold onto the explosives. He swiped her off her feet and grabbed the explosives off her.

"Tell the kids and wife I love them." Clint nodded and started to grapple up.

Natasha grabbed his right leg and she tased herself to the ground. She fought through the pain and pulled him down. They both fell and Natasha placed her knee over Clint's neck.

"Tell them yourself." Natasha muttered. She wrapped her knee with the grapple and started grappling up.

Clint grabbed Natasha's hand and shot his own foot with an arrow. He stuck to the ground and Natasha stopped moving upwards.

"Damn you." Clint groaned in pain, tears coming out of his eyes, "Please. Don't do it."

"It's going to be okay." Natasha whispered.

She let go of her hand but Clint quickly switched to his right hand and pulled down her left arm. She fell to the ground with the harness still wrapped around her knee. He sliced off the arrow off his foot and the harness. He grabbed onto the remaining piece of the harness and started grappling up. Natasha looked and she saw the explosives with Clint, grappling up to the ships.

"No!" Natasha shouted. Clint disappeared into the mist. Every second, she waited for him to miraculously come back. After a few moments, multiple explosions appeared in the sky.

In the distance, everyone stopped protecting themselves from the rain fire as it stopped. Steve and Scott walked up on a higher platform and looked around. Both of the ships were crashing towards the river stream. He saw Natasha covering her face in the distance right below the two ships.

"Sam, get Natasha the hell out of there!" Steve ordered.

"I'm working on it!" Sam started flying towards Natasha. Flaming debris started falling from the sky and Natasha was still sitting there, mourning.

Sam started flying at full speed. She was still sitting there, which was frustrating Sam. As the debris was close to hitting her, Sam grabbed her and hugged her close to his body. He flew as fast as he could, as millions of debris started landing on the surface. As they were close to the place where debris weren't landing, he closed his wings and it acted as a shield. They landed and he let go of her.

"Cap! I got her!" Sam reported, as Natasha got up and leaned on a piece of rubble.

"Good job, Sam. But we might need back-up here."

Shuri and Strange were fighting Thanos after Carol took a hard punch of the Mind stone. Strange created a small hole in the ground which Thanos fell halfway. Thanos used the Reality stone to bring the whole landscape down. Shuri jumped on front of Thanos and struck him in the face. She continued striking him until Thanos punched her with the Mind stone. She gathered enough energy in her suit for a blast. She leaped towards Thanos and released the blast. He gathered it into the Space and Reality stone and punched Shuri with the blast. Strange created a whip and grabbed his hand with it. Thanos pulled Strange and punched him with the Mind stone.

Thanos saw Peter swinging around with the orb so he pulled him towards him using the Reality stone, bringing along the landscape. It created a trench and the water stream started coming in furiously.

"I need someone dealing with that stream!" Steve shouted, taking down a Outrider. "Bruce?"

"I can't! I'm not that big!" Hulk answered.

"Anyone?!"

"No can do, Cap. We're all busy right now." Tony said.

"Cap!" Rocket called, running towards him. "I may have found the solution."

Steve looked into the distance and saw Groot walking up to the stream. He stuck his hand to the ground, and started forming long branches, blocking the stream of water.

"Will that do?" Rocket sarcastically asked.

"For now." Steve nodded, and stared running towards Thor.

Tony was struggling against a Outrider who was pinning him to the wall. There were more Outriders trying to bite through his armour and his energy wasn't ready yet. Suddenly Wanda landed and got rid of all the Outriders.

"Your welcome." Wanda smiled.

"Thanks, kid." Tony nodded and saw Thanos grabbing the orb out of Peter's hands. "Shit. Hey, uh... kid."

"Yes?" Wanda confusingly asked.

"I need you to do me a favour." Tony bit his lip.

The Hulk landed and tried to punch the Power stone out of Thanos's hand. Thanos dropped it and the Hulk grabbed him by the shoulder, continuously punching him into the ground. Thanos used the Space stone to teleport the orb into his hands. He used the Reality stone to remove the Power stone out of its container, and launched it into Hulk's face. He landed in the distance. Thanos sat down, gauntlet almost complete and weapon still durable. He looked up and sighed deeply.

Steve and Thor were walking up to him. Steve walked to the left and Thor to the right. They were trying to circle around Thanos. He was already tired from all the fighting, so he hoped this was it. Thanos stood up, showed off his gauntlet and prepared his sword. Tony then landed in the middle, and removed his helmet.

"The heroes. Or should I say the holy trinity." Thanos chuckled.

"That's the Avengers to you, you son of a bitch." Tony put on his helmet and charged at Thanos.

Thor threw Mjolnir towards Steve and he grabbed it mid-air. Steve hit Thanos on the knee and he stood on one leg. Tony kneed him in the face followed by a swing from Stormbreaker. Thanos ducked the attack of Stormbreaker and it hit a confused Steve. Tony started punching him repeatedly until Thanos blocked some of his shots with the Mind stone. Tony activated the Power stone in his arc reactor and his punches were creating blasts.

Stormbreaker was barely penetrating his armour which wasn't doing good. Thanos grabbed Tony and faced him towards Thor. He swung Stormbreaker towards Tony's body which sent him flying back. He then punched Thor with the Power stone and knocked him back into rubble. Thanos continued to beat Thor until he got hit by Mjolnir. Thanos and Steve started duelling and Steve was winning mostly. Thanos resolved to his spear and started slashing it towards Steve's shield. Before he could break it, Tony came in and tackled him into the ground.

Tony continued to punch him until Thanos blasted him with the Mind stone. Thor placed Stormbreaker on Thanos's neck to prevent him from standing. Steve dropped Mjolnir on his hand to prevent him from clenching his fist.

"Keep him there!" Steve shouted, thrusting Mjolnir into his hand.

"I am!" Thor grunted.

Thanos grabbed Thor from the back and threw him towards the wall. He then grabbed Steve by the neck, but he still kept Mjolnir on his hand.

Thanos grunted and shoved Steve away. He slid his arm away from Mjolnir which dropped to the ground. Tony came in with a hand cannon. Thor grabbed thunder and unleashed it on Tony's back core, providing energy for him. Tony was releasing a large beam of energy. Thanos was blocking the beam with the Mind stone, creating a force field.

Steve came from behind and hit him with Mjolnir. His armour was heavily damaged now, especially now that Tony charged in with plenty of rockets and he was still recovering from the hammer attack. Thanos's armour fell off, and his spear was in the distance. The only help he could get was his gauntlet.

Tony started hitting Thanos with explosions of the Power stone on his face. He blocked it with the Mind stone and created a portal using the Space stone right on front of Tony's face. Steve has thrown Mjolnir towards Thanos and the path Mjolnir took hit Tony's face. Tony fell backwards on debris and he got knocked out.

"Wake up, boss!" F.R.I.D.A.Y. warned.

Steve called back Mjolnir and charged at Thanos. He gathered thunder and shot it at Thanos. He blocked it using the Mind stone once again and gathered the thunder into the Space stone. He shot it back and Steve got knocked into the distance.

Thor struck Thanos with the Stormbreaker on his arm. The axe cut deep into his arm and he grunted in pain. Thanos punched Thor into the wall using the Power stone. He angrily walked up to Thor. Thanos removed Stormbreaker out of his arm and placed it on Thor's chest.

"You will regret that, Asgardian." Thanos muttered. He proceeded to cut through his armour and trying to place it on his chest, as Thor struggled, "How does it feel, hm?"

"You will..." Thor grunted, "never be..." He was starting to give up, "a god."

Thanos thrusted Stormbreaker and it went through Thor's body. He placed his hand on Stormbreaker, signifying it had down great service for him. He was now starting to faint as Thanos stood up, pleased by his work.

Steve came up and threw Mjolnir towards Thanos. He bounced off the wall and Steve punched him with the shield. Thanos grabbed Steve's right hand and knocked Mjolnir into the distance. He started beating Steve up but he tried to block his punches with his shield. Thanos pinned him to the wall. He continued beating him until Steve called for Mjolnir. Before it reached Steve's hand, Thanos knocked it away with the force of the Power stone. To surprise him, Steve called Stormbreaker out of Thor's chest, and it pierced Thanos's arm.

Steve pushes Thanos away who landed onto the floor. He started bashing Thanos's face with the sharp edge of the shield. Thanos's arm was heavily damaged and Steve was now hitting his face furiously. He then called Mjolnir and raised it into the air to gather thunder. Thanos called his spear into his hand, and he stabbed Steve in the chest. Confused, Steve dropped to the floor and started crawling towards the wall.

Tony, who had waken up, saw Thanos standing up. He noticed that Steve and Thor were both leaning on the wall. He was finished until he saw Strange in the distance, looking worried. Strange raised his finger into the air, and mouthed a word, "One."

Thanos smiled and saw Steve bleeding to death. Suddenly Tony arrived and started attacking Thanos from all different angles. He was trying his best to finally kill him.

Peter, in the distance, was helping Sam, Bucky, Rocket, Wong, Shuri, Drax, Mantis, and M'Baku finish up on the Outriders and Chitauri soldiers. He saw in the distance, Tony and Thanos duelling by themselves. He started to swing towards them until a shield appeared on front of him. He looked around and saw Strange using a spell.

"I need to help him, Mr. Strange." Peter pleaded.

"Remember when I said that we only had one chance? You don't want to blow it, do you?" Strange asked.

Peter bit his lip and couldn't afford to see Tony getting beat up. But he didn't want to fail the galaxy too, "fine."

"Help Drax, ok?" Strange asked and Peter nodded. He started hovering nearer to the battle between Tony and Thanos.

Thanos was getting the advantage, taking out Tony's nanites quickly using the Power stone. Tony knew it too.

"F.R.I.D.A.Y! Give me a percentage!" Tony shouted, trying to block Thanos's shots.

"3%" F.R.I.D.A.Y. reported.

"Keep on holding!" Tony grunted, as some of his body armour flew away.

"2%. Heading into 1%"

Thanos ripped the Time stone out of Tony's right hand and kicked Tony away. He placed it in his gauntlet and felt power go through his veins. He looked at Tony and smiled.

"I am inevitable." Thanos said.

When he snapped, nothing happened. He checked his gauntlet, and saw the Time stone wasn't really there. It was an illusion created by Tony with the Reality stone. Power, Soul, Space, and Mind stone crawled out of his arc reactor and reached up to his right hand.

"And I..." Tony say Pepper in the distance, helmet out, looking at Tony, "am..." He started crying a little, "Iron Man."

...

Tony suddenly was in a orange dimension and he was walking around in a small land of water. There was a small porch in the distance, with a person there. He felt confused, as his armour or the gauntlet wasn't on him.

He was curious with the person on the porch. He started walking slowly towards the mystery. His heart was shaking. He was tired. He just wanted it to be finished.

He slowly walked up the stairs, confronting the person. When the person turned around, it was a teenager who was in her late 20's. She started to tear up when she saw Tony.

"D-..." She stuttered heavily, "Dad?"

Tony started to have tears in his eyes, "Morgan?"

He walked closer to her and hugged her tightly. She started to get teary-eyed. She laid her head on her father's shoulder. Tony started kissing her forehead.

"I'm so sorry, Morgan. I didn't want to do it. I'm so sorry." Tony begged as he cried. "I did my best. I wanted to be a great father. I'm so sorry, Morgan. I just wanted you to be happy."

"Dad. Dad." She started to hold his face, "It's alright. Everything will be alright." She assured softly.

"Are you sure?"

"We're good, dad." Morgan smiled and Tony hugged her again.

"Morgan..." Tony kissed her forehead one more time before muttering, "I love you."

"Dad," Morgan sniffed, "I love you 3000."

...

Steve finally recovered from the brightness that consumed everyone again. When he looked around, everyone had stopped fighting. The Chitauri started dropping their weapons and the Outriders stopped in their tracks. They suddenly turned to dust. A hopeless Thanos looked at Steve, before turning to dust.

But Steve was still bleeding. He had leaned on the wall to sit beside his fallen friend. Valkyrie, Korg and the Guardians has ran up to Thor and checked on him. Sam and Bucky has checked on Steve.

"Cap?" Sam asked, crouching beside him.

"Sam." Steve smiled faintly. He looked at Bucky, "Buck."

"Steve." Bucky wiped the tear off his eye, "I'm going to miss you."

"I'm going to miss you too, Buck." Steve smiled, and placed the shield on his hand, "Take it."

"But-... it's not mine. It's yours."

"No... Buck. It's yours."

"Steve?"

"Yeah?"

"Say hi to Peggy for me." Bucky smiled.

"I will..." Steve looked into the sky and said faintly, "I will."

Pepper, Rhodey, and Peter all ran to Tony who had his right arm heavily injured. Strange was standing behind, nodding towards a dying Tony.

"Mr. Stark?" Peter called, as Tony could barely speak, "Mr. Stark? It's me, Peter. You won Mr. Stark. We did it." Peter started holding his hand and crying, "You did it. Sir? Tony?"

Rhodey pulled Peter out and held him as he cried. Strange placed his hand on Peter's shoulder and let him cry on his cape.

"Hey..." Pepper called, and Tony turned her direction, "Tony, look at me."

"Pep." Tony muttered.

"Look at me." Pepper said. Tony tilted his head towards her. "We're going to be alright. I'll take care of Morgan, I promise."

Tony smiled faintly.

"I love you." Pepper said.

"I love you 3000." Tony faintly said.

Pepper just had to smile. She kissed Tony on the lips, and then on the forehead. She whispered to him, "You can rest now."
