Chapter 17: Beginning of the End
--Asteroid, Somewhere in Space--
"Wanda, can you move them? We are going somewhere." Thanos asked.
"Yes, I can, Master." Wanda said.
"Hey, Wanda. When did he become our master?" Pietro whispered.
"Ever since I told him I wanted to bring you back to life."
"As long as we are together, I'm fine with that."
"So, you're just going to leave the Earth to die." Quill said.
"Family comes first. It's what everyone wants, family."
"Ok, they're playing hard to get." Rocket said, as they were being moved to another place.
Thanos created a portal to another asteroid, which seems to be a chair in it.
"Where did you take us now?" Gamora asked.
"To my chair, I will be watching you for now." Thanos said.
Mantis looked at Nebula who hasn't spoken a lot since Thanos said he killed her parents.
"Are you ok? You have not been talking too much." Mantis said.
"Be quiet. I'm thinking of a plan." Nebula whispered.
"There's a lot of whispering going on here." Quill said.
"So, what happened while I was gone?" Pietro asked.
"Maybe I'll tell you next time. I don't really want to talk about it." Wanda said.
"Why not?"
"Because, I don't really want to talk about the harsh times I've been through since you were gone."
"Hey, Quill. I feel something coming." Strange said.
"What things?" Quill asked.
"Two things. One is from Earth and another is from another distant place. I sense both of it are coming soon."
"I hope it's backup, 'cause I'm getting bored as hell."
--Xavier's School--
"So that's the plan, I hope it works." Tony said.
"Just leave it to me, besides I'll make it sure that it will be carried out." Charles said.
"This is the battle that will end my persona." Steve said.
"You're giving up Captain America?" Tony asked.
"I have to, I've been doing this since World War II. Don't you want to settle down?"
"I might consider that, but I've not thought about it yet. I am living the dream of saving the world right now."
"Not everything lasts forever. Logan told me he died holding his heart." Charles said, depressed when he heard those words come out of his mouth.
"Mr. Stark, are those what I think they are?" Peter asked.
"Guys, there are more of those aliens, let's take them out." Rhodey said.
"Don't go Hulk mode on us, this is not our property, Banner." Natasha said.
"He can stay with me, Ms. Romanov. He'll be safe with me." Charles said.
The door opened which revealed Logan and a suited up Cyclops.
"Anyone willing to join us fight, go with us now." Summers said.
"Charles, you stay here, would you?" Logan said.
"Of course, I'll be staying here." Charles said.
"I'll stay with Bruce." Scott said.
"Me too." Natasha said.
The heroes who wanted to fight, went out and battled the Skrulls. The Avengers mainly focused on taking out the Skrulls while the X-Men protected the School.
"So, what's the plan?" Sam asked.
"Isn't it obvious? Kill them all." Steve said.
Tony used his lasers to take out the Skrulls while the others were more comfortable in one-on-one combat. Steve landed some punches to the Skrulls, taking them out, while Sam and Rhodey shot them. After a while, Logan came out and took a majority of the Skrulls using his claws.
"We should really consider him joining us." Tony said.
Logan continued to take them out until there were a few left. Logan went back inside, but before he went inside he told Steve, "The rest of them are yours."
"What is he going to do?" Sam asked.
"Probably wash his hands. I mean he used his hands to take a lot of them out." Rhodey said.
"It's actually claws." Tony corrected him.
Peter gathered the last batch of Skrulls and took them out himself. Tony was impressed at Peter for taking the last of them out.
"That was amazing, kid." Tony said, putting his arm around Peter.
"Thank you, Mr. Stark." Peter said.
"But next time, let some of us do the work, you still have a lot to learn."
"I'm already an Avenger, I don't need more experience, I know everything already."
"You haven't seen the dangers in life yet."
"I have already. Please just let me take them on."
"Whatever you say, kid. I'm just giving you advice."
They all went back inside the school to see everyone safe. Bruce was hiding behind Charles's desk to stop himself from turning into the Hulk.
"Our plan is about to start, everyone get ready." Coulson said, looking at everyone. "Can't you believe it, it's the last battle for some of you. After this, you'll be living the life you all wanted."
"I hope I get to see the light again." Bucky said, looking at Steve who looked worried.
"Why do you look that way, Steve?" Scott asked.
"Can't anyone tell? This is the most powerful being in the universe. He has all the stones in his hand, he can kill us right now." Steve said.
"That's why we're taking him back to hell." Tony said.
"And if we lose?"
"Just like you said Steve, 'together'."
"Taking lines from me, I like it."
"Alright, gentlemen. Now that we have settled that, we shall start the plan."
"I'll be going underground now." Charles said.
"The only problem is, how are we getting to space?"
"I already contacted Cloak, says he's on his way." Natasha said.
"Perfect, the plan is working out splendid."
"Alright, people, we are leaving in 30 minutes so get ready." Steve said.
"Steve, I can't do this." Scott said.
"Why not?"
"What if I die? I need to see my daughter again."
"I understand, say hello to her for me, please?"
"Of course, she will hear all the stories about the Avengers." Steve said, as Scott left the school.
"Steve?" Tony asked.
"Yeah? What is it?"
"Are you ready to go for one more rollercoaster ride?"
"I hope you are, 'cause I'm ready as hell." Steve said, getting prepared for his final battle.
