  Earth-62338

  April 28th, 2021
  Tony, Pepper, and Rhodey soared above the battlefield, unloading their repulsors, nanotech weaponry, and bullets on the various forces. "More than a decade of watching your back, Tony. About time we all actually got to fight together." Rhodey grinned as he deployed a quad-barreled repulsor from each hand. Tony deployed the cannons and drones he had used on Cull Obsidian in New York. Pepper gathered energy into her Unibeam before all three fired together. A Chitauri Leviathan zoomed in close to the three of them, but it was intercepted by a now giant Scott, who pushed it into a nearby portal opened by Strange. "Thanks, Lang." Pepper beamed. The three Armoured Avengers flew down to Strange. "Hey, Strange. You said one out of 14 million, we win, yeah? Tell me this is it." Iron Man demanded. "If I tell you what happens, it won't happen." Strange explained before tossing a portal at an oncoming Outrider. "I feel like that's a cop-out." Rhodey said to himself. "Rhodes, do you copy? Wilson and I need a hand. We're trying to get to Thanos' ship and take it down so our ground forces have some breathing room." Carol said into the comms. "On my way." War Machine replied before jetting off into the air. Tony then looked at Strange. "God, you better be right." Rescue ordered. Strange then hopped through a portal. Mjolnir soared between Tony and Pepper, slamming into a Sakaaran before flying back to Steve's hand. "I knew I saw that hammer move during the party." Tony chuckled at Steve. Captain America smiled and took his shield from his arm before tossing it to Iron Man, who raised it. The First Avenger slammed Mjolnir into his shield, creating a shockwave that destroyed a squadron of Outriders. "Wanda's team has a bunch of Leviathans overhead. You might want to help them." Steve ordered before flying away. Tony turned to his wife. "Go. I'll go see who else needs backup." Pepper instructed. Tony gave her a salute before soaring away.  Natasha rolled under a shot from a Chitauri before slashing its neck with Knífrlocke, the boot beginning to glow as it developed a new toxin. She swung her batons at an Outrider, knocking it off balance with a zap before digging one of her boots' blades into its chest. She kicked off of it, firing a shot from her wrist cannon into a Sakaaran soldier. A Chitauri War Beast charged at her, but was intercepted by Cull Obsidian. He smashed his hammer into the War Beast's head before grabbing it and slamming it into a sharpened piece of debris to impale it. Natasha and Cull nodded at each other briefly before turning to see Gamora approaching. "Little 'Mora." Cull smiled at her. "Cull." Gamora nodded. "Corvus said he needs you to take on a Leviathan fleet." "What formation are they using?" Cull asked. "Rho-Six." Gamora answered. "Like the Agullo used when we attacked Ahl-Agullo." "Hmm." Cull nodded. "Why not use the same strategy we used there?" "Supergiant's busy, so she can't deal with them." Gamora explained. Cull's eyes narrowed. "Supergiant left the order before the Battle of Ahl-Agullo." Cull swung his hammer at the alternate Gamora, who dodged back. "Father, help." The alternate Gamora growled into her comms. A portal opened instantly, and Thanos stepped through. Natasha sighed, preparing for another fight against the Mad Titan. "Cull Obsidian, my architect and my destroyer. You do not need to stand against me." Thanos held out his hand. "Come. Stand by my side as you stood by my counterpart's side." "You overestimate my loyalty to you. In all my centuries of service to the Black Order, it was not your counterpart I stood by. It was my brother. If he stands against you, I will fight beside him." Cull tightened his grip on his hammer. "Have your fun, Thanos!" Cull swung his hammer at Thanos, who ducked out of the way of the strike. Thanos clenched his Gauntlet-clad fist, the Space and Reality Stones lighting up as a large piece of debris flew at Cull. Cull responded by grabbing Thanos' hand and forcing a finger out of the fist, causing the debris to come crashing to the ground without hitting Cull. A spear made of bone then flew into Thanos' shoulder, and he grunted in pain slightly. Anubis vaulted over Natasha and punched Thanos in the face, sending him flying back. The alternate Gamora held her sword at the jackal-headed God of the Dead, who chuckled at the sight. "Young warrior, you have slain many. However, with every death on this world, I grow stronger." Anubis formed a staff from bone. "Then why not allow me to finish my work, God of the Dead?" Thanos asked as he got back up. "Death without honour is no death at all. It is oblivion." Anubis swung his staff at Thanos, who blocked it with his sword. The alternate Gamora swung her sword at Anubis, but was blocked by Natasha. Anubis then clawed at Thanos' face, carving three deep cuts into his chin, before Cull grabbed the Mad Titan by the neck and slammed him into the ground. Cull jumped on top of the doppelganger of his former master and began to pound his face with both hands. He then transformed his hammer into an axe and raised it above his head, intent on cleaving Thanos' head in half. Thanos called upon the Infinity Stones once more, all five ingots in his Gauntlet glowing at once. Anubis transformed his staff into a hammer and swung it at the Gauntlet. Energy from the five Infinity Stones exploded from the Gauntlet on impact. The alternate Gamora was sucked into a portal, Natasha's astral form was forced out of her body, Cull was blasted away with a wave of purple energy, Anubis' eyes began to glow yellow as he let out a grunt of pain before collapsing, and the ground beneath Thanos turned into liquid before closing around him. "Anubis." A female voice whispered. "Šauška..." Anubis grunted. "Help them." A portal opened, and a deity clad in gold and purple armour designed to look like feathers stepped through. Her skin was pure white, and she had both a dove's head and wings along with bird talons for feet. She pulled Natasha's soul back into her body before waving her hand at Cull, healing him from his injuries. She then picked up Anubis and vanished back into the portal. Natasha shook her head as Cull stood up. "What just happened?" Natasha asked. "I presume the alternate version of my brother ordered Gamora to assassinate you. It's something Corvus has done before." Cull picked up his hammer. "No, I mean with the Stones." Natasha rubbed her head. "Ah, of course." Cull leaned on his hammer. "Anubis' divine might caused the Stones to backfire. Each of us was affected by a different Stone because of it." "Tasha, it's Bucky. I think I found the Gauntlet. I could use an assist." Bucky spoke over the comms. "I'll be right there." Natasha replied before running off. "Alright, Corvus. I was right about the other you sending Gamora to kill... Natasha, you said her name was? The problem is dealt with." Cull spoke into his wrist. "Perceptive as always, brother. Good work. T'Challa needs help with an artillery encampment. Your lift is on the way." Corvus explained. "Lift?" Cull asked. Carol then swooped down from the skies, Goose on her back. She picked up Cull, who let out a confused yelp, and dragged him into the air before hurling him off towards a gun that had landed on the battlefield. Rhodey and Sam then joined Captain Marvel, and they flew into the sky together.  Wanda, Proxima, Corvus, Pietro, and Eitri worked together on the battlefield. Wanda opened a portal and jumped onto the back of a nearby Leviathan before blasting seven b@lls of flame. The Leviathan screamed in pain as Wanda floated down gently with the Cloak. "Since... Since when can she do THAT?" Pietro sputtered. "Your sister has a talent for the Mystic Arts. It was a pleasure working with her over the past three years." Eitri explained, driving his sword into a Chitauri chariot flying overhead. Wanda touched down and extended her hands out skyward before summoning electrical energy from above. She then fired twin bolts of lighting from each hand and struck an Outrider Cannon Walker, destroying it. "Frankly, I feel my older brotherly duty to protect her is moot." Pietro rolled his eyes. Proxima fired an arrow into a Sakaaran behind him. "You've been dead for 6 years, Pietro. I'm six years older than you now." Wanda smirked. Corvus jumped over her head and cleaved a Chitauri in half. "Five years, eleven months, three weeks, six days, 23 hours, and 48 minutes older." Pietro defended himself. The other heroes froze. "Did... Did you take the time to... Subtract 12 minutes from a year?" The Scarlet Witch stammered. The alternate Corvus Glaive and Proxima Midnight then slammed down into the field and brandished their glaive and spear at the heroes. "Eyes up." The heroic Corvus ordered. The alternate Proxima threw her spear as the alternate Corvus jumped at the group. Pietro and Wanda looked at each other and nodded. Wanda opened the Eye of Agamotto, and the world around the two slowed to a standstill. The Maximoff twins approached Corvus and Proxima, and Pietro cracked his neck. He took the alternate Proxima's spear in his hand and shifted it, moving it to point at her gut. Wanda pulled on the alternate Glaive, dragging him towards the ground. Time returned to normal, and three other heroes jumped back when the villainous Midnight was impaled and the villainous Glaive slammed into the ground. Glaive jumped up and slashed at Corvus, but Proxima stepped between them with her bow. The blade of Glaive's glaive dug into Proxima's bow, and she twisted, wrenching the weapon from the grip of her husband's counterpart. She threw the weapons towards Wanda and Eitri, and Eitri nodded. Wanda opened a portal, and the weapons flew into the beam of the Forge of Nidavellir, melting the Uru. The evil Glaive gained a look of pure panic, and the heroic Corvus impaled him. A Leviathan then flew towards the group, and Wanda groaned with annoyance. The Leviathan exploded, and Tony landed next to the group. He deployed the same Ion Cannons he had used against Cull in New York and blasted a Chitauri War Beast in the face before deploying a sword and stabbing a Sakaaran. "Good timing, Tony." Wanda smiled. Tony's face plate flipped up and he grinned. "No problem, Sabrina." Iron Man chuckled. Wanda's eyes widened in a panic. "Visz needs me." She explained before flying away. "Stark, I have something to tell you." Eitri explained. "Yeah?" Stark asked, curious. "The enchantment on Hugrstál gives you a unique ability. It gives you ability to pull the Stones from the Gauntlet." Eitri explained. Corvus looked at his Glaive, and then back to Tony. "I have a plan." Corvus said.  Sam, Rhodey, and Carol soared together above the battlefield, making a charge directly for Sanctuary II. Goose surfed on Carol's back, hanging on tightly. "Danvers, remind me why you brought your cat to the ultimate battle for the universe!" Sam yelled. Goose than jumped off of Carol's back and onto Sam's as a Leviathan approached the Falcon. Goose opened her mouth and engulfed the giant beast with her tentacles, swallowing it. "HOLY SH@T!" "D@MN!" Rhodey yelled. "Good girl, Goose!" Carol beamed. Goose let out a happy mew before leaping back to Carol. The alternate Thanos then appeared on the battlefield beneath the group and sent a blast from the Power Stone at the four heroes. Sam spun around the blast before beginning to strafe the Mad Titan. Rhodey created an energy shield and tanked the blast as Carol was hit. Goose was flung off her back as Captain Marvel slammed into the ground. "Danvers, go! Take out the ship! We'll cover you!" The Falcon ordered. "Not a f@ck@ng chance." Captain Marvel replied. She got up and snarled before cracking her neck and charging the Infinite Conqueror. She slammed her fist into his face before flipping around, wrapping one leg around his neck and using the other to hold the Gauntlet open. Rhodey landed with force before tapping his wrist. "Jocasta, send me the Big Gun." Rhodey ordered. A large pod the same colour as his suit shot out from the debris of the Avengers Facility and flew onto his arm, expanding into a massive cannon. "Proton Cannon online, Colonel." Jocasta explained. "Punch it." War Machine grinned. The alternate Thanos was then engulfed by a massive blast, and his armour began to crack under the pressure. The Mad Titan reached up and grabbed Carol's hair, yanking on it and pulling her off of his neck. He then threw her at Rhodey, knocking down the War Machine. Carol scrambled to her feet as the alternate Thanos used the Space Stone to disable Sam's wings. The Falcon crashed into the ground, and groaned. Carol then charged at her opponent, but Mind, Soul, and Reality flashed. Carol saw the world around her morph into a familiar house in Louisiana. "You lost a great many people in my counterpart's snap." The alternate Thanos pondered. "Monica. Fury. Half of the Skrull you had been protecting. Goose. Maria survived, but... Could you remind me what happened to Maria in the three years you were gone, searching for those Stones so you could undo my counterpart's good work?" "Shut up!" Earth's Mightiest Maiden roared. A gunshot was then heard, and Carol squeezed her eyes shut. "When you returned, you had your friend Supergiant back. But then you found a news report from Louisiana. 'Retired Air Force Pilot Captain Maria Rambeau Found Dead'. You lost her too. You lost her trying to get everyone else back. 'Whatever it takes' was your and the other Avengers' mantra, yes? Was Maria worth it?" The Mad Titan said in a vicious tone. "I said shut up!" Captain Marvel's skin glowed golden as her hair floated into the air. "Captain Marvel's famous Binary Power." The Infinite Conqueror chuckled as the world shifted back to normal. "What a shame the source of your powers was the Space Stone." Space and Power glowed as Carol's golden skin shifted first to her normal colour and then to a sickly pale look. "Maria..." Earth's Mightiest Maiden said weakly before she collapsed, causing the alternate Thanos to smile. "Their most marvelous hero falls powerless. What a shame." He laughed before vanishing with another flash of Space. Rhodey, Sam, and Goose got up and rushed to Carol's side. "Guys, this is Sam. Danvers is down. Thanos took her powers." Sam explained. "We lost visual on him. Sorry, everyone." Rhodey added.  Steve, Thor, Vision, and Beta Ray Bill fought together in a circle, channeling a massive amount of lightning as their weapons flew around them. Vision caught Jarnbjorn, phased through a Chitauri War Ape, and sliced it in half before throwing the axe to Steve, who threw Thunderstrike to the God of Thunder. Captain America slid the blade of the axe along the surface of his shield, causing sparks to fly into the face of a Chitauri soldier. Thor jumped in the air and slammed down into the field with lightning near a group of three Sakaarans, trading Thunderstrike to Beta Ray Bill for Mjolnir. The Korbinite spun the mace around to generate a wind stream, blowing back a pair of Outriders before tossing Thunderstrike to Vision and taking back Stormbreaker. A portal opened, and the alternate Thanos exited, twin bladed sword in hand. The four Oathbrothers sparked with lightning before the Power and Soul Stones glowed. Their weapons fell to the ground, their souls shifted to unworthiness as their lightning dissipated. Space and Reality glowed, and everything on the field around the group stopped. Vision and Steve rose, Vision's Reality Stone fighting against the alternate Thanos'. The Mad Titan empowered his with the Power Stone, and Vision grunted before stopping his attack. "You must be Vision. I've seen a great deal about you." The alternate Thanos smiled. "Indeed, Mad Titan." Vision's eyes narrowed as he spoke with a tranquil fury. "You know, Steve, there is a part of my great scheme you weren't shown." The alternate Thanos explained, twirling his sword in his hand absentmindedly. "And what would that be, Thanos?" Steve asked. "Are you familiar with Yggdrasil?" The Mad Titan asked. "The World Tree? What have you done to it?" Thor demanded. "Nothing. At least to the one in this universe. In mine, however... Well, my universe is no more. My reality has never existed on a cosmic perspective. You see, I wanted to ensure your universe faced an extra layer of threat in the event of my defeat. You can return most of the Stones you claimed, but the ones from my world? They cannot be returned to a reality that simply... Does not exist." The Infinite Conqueror grinned. "Good thing we didn't take any from your reality." Beta Ray Bill grinned. "We did." Vision turned to the Korbinite. "We took Time. It took a great deal of energy to send Thor and his team to Asgard, so I cut a corner and sent your team and Wanda's team to the same temporal reality. This, however, I did not anticipate. We cannot send the Time Stone back." "It also means we'll be dealing with two Reality Stones." Thor's brows narrowed. Vision gave a small shake of his head before glancing at Steve. Captain America raised his shield as Vision's Reality Stone glowed, his fist transforming into Uru. The Android Avenger then punched the First Avenger's shield, knocking the alternate Thanos back and breaking his concentration with the Stones. Vision then reached out with both hands, summoning Jarnbjorn, Mjolnir, Stormbreaker, and Thunderstrike all at once and blasting the alternate Thanos with red lightning empowered by the glowing Reality Stone. Thanos raised his Gauntlet-clad hand to defend himself, but this mistake would be devastating. "No!" The alternate Thanos yelled as he watched his Reality Stone be shattered by Vision's. Space glowed as he vanished before Vision dropped the four weapons and fell to his knee. The world around the group began moving again, and Wanda landed next to the group. "Visz!" Wanda yelled, running to Vision's side. The Android Avenger reached to his forehead and popped the Reality Stone out, handing it to Wanda. "Keep it safe for a while, darling. Destroying a Stone... It takes immense power. You... Handled it better than I did, to say the least." Vision smiled as his body shifted back to the pale colours he had been without the Mind Stone and his cape became transparent, though his eyes remained their loving blue. Wanda took the Reality Stone between her thumb and finger and looked skyward. The Stone vanished, and a new red star appeared in the sky. Vision picked up Thunderstrike, and the other three Oathbrothers summoned their weapons to their hands as well. Three of the four Oathbrothers flew away to various other parts of the battlefield, leaving Vision with Wanda. Wanda looked down at the Time Stone. "Are you alright, Wanda?" Vision asked, touching his hand to her cheek. "Yes." Wanda replied, leaning into Vision's touch. "I'm ready to end this."  Natasha, Supergiant, Pepper, Bucky, Loki, and Valkyrie fought together in the midst of an Outrider charge, the borrowed Infinity Gauntlet in the middle of them. "Team, this is Natasha. We found the Gauntlet." Natasha explained. "We can't let Thanos get another copy of these Stones under any circumstances." Strange ordered. "Right. Do we have a plan? Portal?" Bucky asked. "The Gauntlet's unstable, so a portal is a terrible idea." Loki piped up. "I'll only be a moment, brother. I'll get the Stones out of the area." Thor's voice echoed in the comms. The Latino man with the chain who had emerged from the portal with Nick Fury and the Agents of SHIELD then ran up to them, his eyes glowing with hellfire. "Robbie Reyes, right?" The Black Widow asked. "Yes. I'll lend a hand until he gets here." Robbie cracked his neck before his skull burned away, revealing the Ghost Rider. A portal then opened and the alternate Thanos emerged, his twin-bladed sword in hand. The collected group groaned at his arrival with the exception of Ghost Rider and Loki, who stepped forward. "The Ghost Rider and the God of Mischief. Two faces I didn't think I'd see again." The alternate Thanos noted. Loki made a gesture with his hands and the Casket of Ancient Winters appeared before him. He grabbed the sides and pulled it open, his skin turning blue and his armour becoming like ice. The Casket vanished, and the God of Mischief stood as the rightful King of Jotunheim. He and the Ghost Rider charged, the Rider wrapping his blazing chain around the alternate Thanos' Gauntlet hand to hold it open. Loki jumped into the air, summoning ice to his fist to enhance a punch to the Mad Titan's face. The Infinite Conqueror grabbed the Ghost Rider's chain and pulled him in close despite the massive amounts of pain he was feeling. The alternate Thanos slammed his foot into Robbie's chest, forcing him to loosen his grip on his chain. The hellfire died away, allowing the Mad Titan to pull the chain off, a small burn scar on the Gauntlet. The alternate Thanos snarled, blasting Ghost Rider with the Power and Soul Stones. His opponent's hellfire began to dim until Loki managed to pull the alternate Thanos' thumb away from his fist before firing a massive blast of ice from his mouth, freezing the Mad Titan's hand in a block of ice to hold it open. The alternate Thanos roared in rage as he picked up his sword, swinging it at Loki, who managed to grab the massive blade. The Infinite Conqueror continued to push on his sword, though to little effect. "I told your counterpart." Loki smiled. "You will never be a god!" Cracks then began to form on the blade as icy mist came from Loki's hands. The blade shattered, leaving its master with a weapon as unbalanced as he viewed the world. Thunder rumbled in the air as Jarnbjorn came sailing down. The alternate Thanos shattered the ice on his Gauntlet hand before managing to teleport away with a flash of the Space Stone just before Jarnbjorn tore through the air where the head of its target had been mere seconds prior. Thor landed in front of his brother, stopping his axe inches from Loki's face. "I went for the head, and he still got away." The God of Thunder growled. Loki then groaned as the ice fell away from his body and his skin reverted to his chosen Asgardian tone rather than his his natural Jotun one. Thor helped his brother onto the ground before taking the Gauntlet from Bucky. "Cover them. I'll get this thing as far away as I can."  T'Challa, Hulk, Cull Obsidian, and Beta Ray Bill fought together, with T'Challa and Beta Ray Bill using their finesse to compliment Cull and Hulk's far more more forceful combat. The alternate Cull Obsidian landed on the battlefield and roared at the heroes. Beta Ray Bill rolled his eyes. "Hulk, you want first dibs?" The Korbinite asked. Hulk grunted in reply before charging at the villainous Obsidian. He tackled the evil alien and slammed his fists into his mouth. The heroic Cull transformed his weapon into a massive gauntlet and jumped into the air. Hulk hopped off of the villain as Cull punched himself in the stomach. Beta Ray Bill then summoned lightning into his hammer before smashing it into the villainous Obsidian's face. The cracking of bones and flesh could be heard, and the Champion of Korbin pulled the green blood covered Stormbreaker back. T'Challa then jumped onto a ridge to get a better view of the battlefield. He then saw the alternate Thanos nearby, seemingly waiting. "Avengers, I have a visual on Thanos. Hulk and I will move to intercept." T'Challa spoke into the comms. "Roger that, T'Challa. I'm coming." Steve replied. "Corvus and I will join you." Proxima added. "I'm busy taking the Gauntlet we borrowed away, but the Spider Child will be along." Thor said. "On my way." Wanda piped up. "I'm en-route." Tony concluded. "Cull, shall we see what else we can fight?" Beta Ray Bill asked. "Sure. Let's hope it's a challenge." Cull Obsidian grinned.  The alternate Thanos sat on the battlefield, the four Stones in his Gauntlet glowing. Tony, T’Challa, Steve, Peter, Proxima, Hulk, and Wanda walked over to him and stepped into fighting poses. “So you’re looking better despite, you know, the shield to the chest.” Stark remarked with annoyance. “Yes. And I will be taking the Time and Reality Stone promptly. As soon as I rip Time from that irritating witch's neck and find where she hid Reality.” The alternate Thanos gestured to Wanda. “I much prefer Sorcerer Supreme nowadays. And you won't get them without a fight.” Wanda replied, summoning the Sacred Saber of the Vishanti. “Your reign is over today, Mad Titan. And it ends with us.” T’Challa said with force as his claws popped. The heroes then made their charge against the alternate Thanos. Steve threw both his shield and Mjolnir at Thanos, hitting the Mad Titan in the face, joining Wanda in continued attacks on Thanos’ head with constant rebounds and shockwaves. T’Challa and Peter rapidly attacked the villain’s joints while Hulk, Proxima and Tony focused their offensive on his chest. Thanos blasted them all away with an explosion from the Power Stone before opening a portal behind Wanda, pulling him through, and wrapping his Gauntlet around the Scarlet Witch’s neck. “Your parlour tricks and cheap magic did not stop me when your teacher used them, and they will not stop me now.” Thanos snarled reaching for the Time Stone. “My magic says otherwise. Abracadabra, you son of a b@tch!” Wanda yelled, disappearing from Thanos’ hand before popping up behind him and sending a flurry of magical blades into the Mad Titan’s chest. Thanos roar in pain, and Wanda floated over to Stark, who she helped up. “Abracadabra? Really?” Iron Man asked with a groan. “I've had a weird few years.” Wanda rolled her eyes. “If you’re done, you could help us get this off!” Proxima yelled as Steve and T’Challa pulled on the Gauntlet whilst she, Hulk, and Peter kept Thanos restrained. Wanda then wrapped mystical crimson chains around Thanos while Stark joined Steve and T’Challa in pulling off the Gauntlet. Thanos roared in rage as the Gauntlet came off his hand, but Proxima dug the handle of her spear into his throat more. Tony, T’Challa, and Steve looked down at the Gauntlet, with both the Black Panther and Captain America taking their hands off of it. Wanda floated over to him and pulled the Time Stone from the Eye of Agamotto. She then reached skyward and pulled the Reality Stone out from the stars. “Make it count, Tony. No cosmic scale. Just get rid of what we can’t fight.” The Scarlet Witch instructed as she placed the Time Stone into the palm of the Infinity Gauntlet and the Reality Stone into the knuckle where its double had been. Tony was about to insert his hand into the glove when Proxima released her hold on Thanos and spun her foot into Steve’s face. Thanos then charged and managed to slide his hand into the Gauntlet before snarling and slamming his head into Wanda's face, sending the Sorceress Supreme to the ground with a bloodied nose. Hulk was about to attack the Infinite Conqueror when Corvus’ spear pierced into his back and out of his chest. The Jade Giant roared in pair and fell to the ground, nursing the deep stab wound. Corvus then battered Peter away as Tony wrapped the nanotech around his left hand around the Stones embedded in the Gauntlet in some attempt to stop Thanos from snapping. Proxima grabbed and threw T’Challa at Steve and Peter before Corvus sliced Tony’s left arm off at the elbow. The Raven Spear grabbed the dropped Gauntlet and handed it to his old master. “I knew you wouldn’t truly leave me, Corvus and Proxima. No matter what universe you're from, your loyalties lie with me. This was an ingenious plan, and I thank you. I am honoured to have your service.” Thanos held the Gauntlet in his hand, not yet putting it on. “Corvus… Proxima... You…” Tony gasped for air at the pain of having his arm severed. “Thanos commands our undying fidelity, human. You should have known that.” Proxima smirked, and Stark pulled the nanites coating the Gauntlet back to his suit in a bundle, his severed arm falling to the ground. “Undying fidelity. Clever words, Proxima. You came close to victory, Stark. But close is not enough. I am inevitable.” Thanos chuckled before snapping his fingers. The metal of the Gauntlet ground together, and Thanos looked at the back. His eyes widened, seeing the Stones missing. Tony raised his right hand and grinned, Stones embedded in the back of his hand. Thanos charged at Tony, but Corvus and Proxima tackled him to the ground as Steve tossed Mjolnir onto his chest, pinning the Mad Titan down. “Eitri put an enchantment on my suit allowing me to absorb the Stones from the Gauntlet. And you may be inevitable, but I… am Iron Man” Tony quipped. Thanos yelled in horror as he saw Tony snap, and everything went white.   ???
  ???
  Tony awoke in a completely white expanse. “Am I dead?” Tony asked. “Sh@t. I’m dead. Oh, God. I promised Pepper I’d come home! Oh, God! No!” “Tony.” A pair of voices said together. “Mom? Dad?” Tony asked, turning again. He saw his parents before him. “Sh@t, I am dead.” “You’re not dead, Tony.” Maria comforted him. “You did good, son.” His father beamed. “We’re proud of you.” His mother added. “You’ve become a thousand times the man I was. And you’re a far better father. To Peter. To Vision. And to your twins.” Howard said with a smile. “God, I still can't believe I have twins. I… I missed the first few years, but I'm going to… I'm going to do better.” Tony said, determined. “We know you will, Tony.” Maria smiled. His parents then too disappeared. “I once said you were a man with everything, and a man with nothing. You’ve come a long way.” Another voice cut through the oblivion. “Yinsen?” Tony asked, spinning to see the man who helped him build the first Iron Man suit. “Hello, Tony. It’s good to see you. You’ve made leaps and bounds since you and I built that suit in a cave with nothing but scrap and trash. I knew you would do incredible things after that experience, but this? Wielding six singularities older than the universe itself? I could never have imagined that. You’ve done good.” Yinsen smiled before disappearing too. Tony smiled to himself just before there was another flash of light.

  The world came into focus again, and Thanos looked down at the Gauntlet. He saw the metal turn to dust and his hand felt the cold breeze. Tony ejected the Stones from his hand, and Wanda cast a spell to catch the Power, Space, Reality, Soul, and Mind Stones before guiding the Time Stone back to the Eye of Agamotto around her neck. Thanos sighed as he looked down at his hand. “Well played, Avengers. Well played. Just remember this. In a chaotic and imbalanced universe, Entropy comes for all.” The Mad Titan smiled. The Quest of Thanos then ended for the final time as he turned to dust. Tony stumbled, and Steve caught him. "You okay, Tony? What did you do?" Steve asked. "Killed Thanos." Tony smiled. The group then saw a golden light shoot into the air fly through Sanctuary II, demolishing the ship. "Oh, and gave Carol her powers back." "We won." Captain America smiled. "Together." Iron Man grinned back.'
