Chapter 12: The Mad Titan
--Asteroid, Somewhere in Space--
"Oh, shit." Quill said.
"Do you know how long I've waited for this moment?" The mysterious figure asked.
"What are you here for?" Tony asked.
"I'm here to meet you, isn't it obvious?"
Tony looked at the surroundings. So far he didn't see any Skrulls, so they were clear. However, he did observe that the mysterious figure had a holed glove, some holes were filled with what seems to be pearls and the other holes were empty.
"What's on your hand?" Thor asked.
"Oh, it's my collection. To be sure no one steals it, I bring it with me, all the time."
"And what is exactly your name?"
"Oh, how rude of me. My name is Thanos."
Tony shot his blasters at him before he could continue speaking. Once he finished shooting, everyone looked at him.
"Bad idea." Rocket said.
"Well, I didn't know people from Earth were rude." Thanos said, using the glove to get a piece of asteroid and throwing at them.
Thor was first to react, using his hammer to destroy it. Thanos was impressed of his powers, so he threw more at the group before Thor gave up swinging.
"You know, not everyone can keep going. There's always a limit." Thanos said, as he jumped on another asteroid.
"Thor, you alright?" Bruce said.
"I am. This person needs to learn a lesson." Thor said, using his hammer to charge at Thanos.
Thor missed and Thanos grabbed him by the foot. He made some sort of portal and threw him in it.
"Where the hell did you put him?" Tony demanded.
"Let's say, back to his hometown." Thanos said.
"Okay, I say we attack him all at once." Quill whispered.
"Gamora, Nebula. I almost didn't notice you."
"Hi, father." Nebula said.
"Father? Has Ronan not told you the story. I saw both of you playing in the fields playing with each other. I wanted to take care of younglings so I asked Ronan to take you in, and your 'real parents,' you may be able to tell what happened."
Quill could see Gamora shed a tear and Nebula feeling heart broken.
"Peter, now!" Tony shouted.
Peter shot his web to try and grabbed the gauntlet of Thanos.
"Not on my watch." Thanos said, pulling Peter closer and knocking him out.
"Should we go now?" Rhodey asked.
"Yeah, create a distraction for the others." Tony said as both of them flew in space.
"Vision, try to use your stone." Strange said, trying to make a spell.
"So you have one of the stones I'm looking for." Thanos said, fighting Tony and Rhodey.
"We got him distracted." Rhodey said, before getting hit by an asteroid by Thanos.
"Guys, focus on him. Rocket and I will take long range while you guys take close range combat." Quill said.
Bruce turned into Hulk and leaped forward and battled Thanos.
"Where the hell is Drax?" Rocket asked.
"Over there." Vision pointed at Drax.
"You!" Drax said, jumping at Thanos.
Thanos managed to grab Drax mid-air. There was something he remembered looking at Drax.
"Aren't you the one, whose family I killed?" Thanos asked.
"In cold blood." Drax said, running out of air.
"Well, it was fun." Thanos said, throwing Drax at another asteroid.
Suddenly, Thanos was put to his knees by Strange and Peter kept him there with his web, along with Hulk punching him. Tony blasted him in unison with Rocket and Quill. They stopped shooting at Thanos momentarily.
"Wait, wait..." Thanos pleaded.
--Wakanda--
"Steve, I got some over here." Sam shouted, as he was fighting three Skrulls.
The Skrulls have completely taken over the main town as they worked towards the main facility. Every alleyway, there would be a Skrull there.
"Where are they coming from anyway?" Scott asked, struggling as he went back to human form.
"From that mountain." Natasha pointed.
"Where is T'challa?" Bucky asked, holding his position.
"He's rallying his troops to the West side." Steve said, taking down six Skrulls.
"Just keep pushing them back." Sam said.
More of the Wakanda Troops joined into battle with their spears. They were armed with the finest armor in the world along with skin piercing spears.
"Here comes the cavalry." Scott said.
"I'm about to run out of bullets." Bucky said.
"Already?" Natasha said, punching more Skrulls.
"I thought there were only 500 of them."
"You did the math wrong; 50,000." Steve said.
"Ok, that's just great."
"Hey, I'm not sure, that was just an estimate." Steve said, taking more Skrulls out.
"I'll go back to the base to get more ammo."
"I'll go with you." Natasha said, as they made their way back to the facility.
"Hey, Natasha." Steve shouted.
"Yeah? What is it?" Natasha asked.
"Nothing, just make it quick. We got more waiting for you."
They walked in the facility which was still intact. The lobby of it was nice, it showed off the nature of Wakanda. The group had taken the stones deep into the base, where no one could find it.
"I think it's this way." Natasha said.
They opened the door labeled 'armory.' It revealed many weapons, but Bucky wasn't sure if the bullets were for his gun.
"So, how is your relationship with Steve?" Natasha asked.
"It's fine, we're getting along great." Bucky said, looking through the weapons.
"Do you think he would make a sacrifice just to save you?"
"Steve's the type of guy who would do anything to help a friend out, even in dark times."
"You guys must really be blood brothers."
"Yeah. I found it, let's go." Bucky said, bringing a whole bag of ammo with him.
--Asteroid, Somewhere in Space--
"Wait, I surrender." Thanos said, on his knees.
"That was actually, easy." Quill said.
"Where did you get the Soul stone?" Strange asked.
"They gave it to me when I was born; they entrusted this to me."
By now, everyone had gotten up, except for Drax who was still recovering from his hard fall.
"What does this Soul stone do exactly?"
"It doesn't take lives, it revives them. I have died many times and this stone has brought me back to life so many times. It can bring someone back to life."
Suddenly, everyone got to their knees. Tony looked everywhere to see who was doing it, as red magic was holding them down.
"I'm sorry, for doing this." Someone said.
"Wanda?" Vision said.
