Chapter 18: End of the Road
--Asteroid, Somewhere in
Space--
"Here we are. Still stuck." Rocket said.
"Rocket, shut the hell up." Quill said.
"What? Aren't you bored? Because we've been stuck like this for 2 days."
"I'm just glad we're not starving."
After a while, a man in silver came up walking through the steps of Thanos's home. The man bowed down to Thanos in an instant.
"Why have you come here, Silver Surfer?" Thanos asked.
"I have come here to bow down, to my new master." Silver Surfer said.
"Was Galactus not good enough?"
"He was a very powerful master, but not as powerful as you."
"Well, you are welcomed to join us as we take control of the universe."
Suddenly, a coat of black appeared and heroes came out of it.
"About time you knuckleheads showed up." Rocket said.
"We had some delay, but we're here now." Steve said.
"Pietro?" Tony questioned, as he saw the new crew of Thanos.
"I'm here in the flesh." Pietro said.
"Don't you want to join us? We can save the universe, together."
"Don't listen to them, they're trying to make us join them." Wanda said.
"We just want you to join the good side."
Everyone then got into the ground as Wanda made them kneel.
"Great plan, but now you will join us into this position." Quill said.
"It's ok," Tony started, as he struggled to get out of the magic. "We came prepared."
Wanda and Pietro could suddenly hear voices in their heads, "Listen to me, you shall help the Avengers take on Thanos."
"Get this thing out of me!" Wanda shouted, removing the heroes out of the magic.
"Finally, we're back on our feet." Strange said.
"How did you make her to let us go?" Gamora asked.
"We asked a man named Charles Xavier to get into her mind, since she's a mutant." Steve said.
"I'll help you breathe." Strange said, as he made a huge bubble around the place.
"Now, let's kick this guy's ass." Quill said.
The Guardians rushed Thanos as he used his gauntlet to hold them back. Quill and Rocket used their weapons to focus at Silver Surfer. He used his beam to take on the Avengers but he was getting overwhelmed.
"Master, give me the Mind Stone and I shall have more power." Silver Surfer said.
"How do I know if I can trust you?" Thanos said, taking out Groot and Rhodey.
"I promise you it won't be lost."
"If I ask for the stone, you must give it back to me." Thanos said, giving him the stone.
Soon, Silver Surfer's beam from his head turned yellow as he took out more of the Avengers and Guardians. Skrulls surrounded the group as they fought Thanos and his crew.
"More of these bastards." Steve said, as he was back-to-back with Tony and Quill.
"The Guardians and I will take care of them, just focus on Thanos." Quill said. "Guys, take those alien bastards out."
Tony regrouped with the Avengers and focus their attack on Thanos. Pietro and Wanda were still stunned by Charles's mind, as they struggled to walk.
"Steve, my bullets can't penetrate him." Sam said.
"Just make use of that as a distraction." Steve said, as more Skrulls ran at him.
Steve used his fists to take the Skrulls on. He took the first two out by punching them, and kicked the last one on the ribs.
"This green monster is giving me problems." Thanos said, as he was fighting Hulk.
"That's right, Bruce, keep on pissing him off." Tony said, as Gamora flew past him.
"I got her." Rhodey said, catching Gamora in space.
"Thank you, but put me down already." Gamora said.
"Ok, ok. I didn't know you were so sensitive." Rhodey said as he got hit by Skrulls.
Thanos took his gauntlet and pointed it at Hulk, as he struggled to get up.
"Now, you shall die, you arrogant monster." Thanos said, as he used the Power stone to beat Hulk up.
"Bruce! Tony, stop him!" Natasha shouted.
"Someone help him!" Tony shouted, as more Skrulls held him.
"I got it." Peter said, as he tried to save Hulk.
Before Thanos could kill Hulk, Peter used his webbing to hold Thanos's arm. Thanos quickly pulled it his way and swung at Peter. He grabbed Peter and threw him near a rock.
"You shall feel my power." Thanos said, as he broke Hulk's back with his hand.
"Kid!" Tony said, blasting the other Skrulls in his way, "You ok?"
"Mr. Stark, I'm sorry." Peter said, as he tried to hold his arms up.
"You're not going to die today."
"I'm not, I'm just really hurt."
"What are you so sorry about?" Tony said, as he looked back and saw the Avengers and Guardians getting defeated.
"I'm sorry for not listening to you back in the school. I should have known I was not prepared yet."
"Well, apology accepted. Now get up and help us defeat this damn monster."
"Steve! We have aliens attacking the school and Wakanda."Coulson said, through the comms.
"Just hold on, we can finish this." Steve said, spitting blood out of his mouth.
"Can you still hold up?" Quill said, shooting at Skrulls running at him.
"I don't know if I can even stand." Steve said, as Quill lent his hand to Steve.
"The only way we can finish this is if we remove the gauntlet off of Thanos. If we don't, we have already lost the battle." Strange said.
"How do we do that with these aliens bothering us?"
"Leave that to me, Quill, lead your friends and help the Avengers take Thanos on."
So they did just that. All the shooters stayed in range with Thanos as the others tried to get the gauntlet.
"Get away from me fools!" Thanos shouted, using the stones to take out Rhodey.
"I have got you, Master." Silver Surfer said, as his beam hit Tony and Quill out of the sky, "That is everyone who was on the air."
"Suit malfunctioning, suit air functions malfunctioning." F.R.I.D.A.Y said.
"That's great." Tony said, as he stood up.
"I can't take this anymore." Steve said.
"Hold on, I got you. Strange how are you holding up?" Quill asked, as he saw Strange getting pinned down by Skrulls.
"This is the end." Thanos said, as he used the Reality Gem to shake the place, thus making everyone fall to the ground.
Thanos looked at the heroes, helpless on what to do. He specifically looked at Steve, who looked broken. He picked him up and held him by the neck.
"So, Steve Rogers, what will you command your team now?" Thanos asked.
"We never give up, we find a way, and our plan is to destroy you." Steve said, struggling to breathe.
"I want you to feel pain. I want you to feel death."
"I will die, but Captain America lives forever." Steve said, as Thanos got one of the Skrulls swords and pierced it through him.
"No!" Tony shouted, angered by what he had just saw.
"You monster!" Bucky shouted.
"I'm not a monster, I'm just doing this for my own good." Thanos said, as Tony was about to take him on.
Once again, everyone kneeled as the voices stopped in Wanda's head. Everyone looked depressed, as they saw Steve Rogers on the floor, dead.
