Battle for the time stone

On Titan, Thanos has finally arrived through one of his portals using the space stone.

Thanos looked around the debris, looking for his child. But he looks and is met by dr. Strange.

"Oh, yeah. You're much more of a Thanos." Strange admits looking over the giant purple ape with a sandpaper chin.

"I take it that Maw is dead then." Thanos says and Strange nods. "This day extracts a heavy toll. Still, he accomplished his mission." He gestured to the Eye of Agamotto currently around the doctor's neck.

"Yeah, you may regret that. He brought you face to face with the master of the mystic arts." Strange informs him.

Around the rubble surrounding them, the team are all hiding in waiting for their opening to stop the Titan.

"Where do you think he brought you?" Thanos asks Strange as he walks towards him, who looks at the gauntlet and sees that he already has four of the six he needs.

"Let me guess. You're home?" Strange asks.

"It was." Thanos says and uses the reality stone to show how the world once looked and it seemed to be similar to Earth with blue skies and water. "And it was beautiful. Titan was like most planets. Too many mouths, not enough to go around. And when we faced extinction, I offered a solution."

"Genocide." Strange guesses again.

"At random, dispassionate, fair to the rich and poor alike. They called me a madman." Thanos informs Strange. "And what I predicted came to pass.

"Congratulations, you're a prophet." Strange mocks.

"I'm a survivor." Thanos corrects him.

"Who wants to murder trillions." Strange reminds him.

"With all six stones, I could simply snap my fingers. They would all cease to exist. I call that...mercy." Thanos says while snapping his non-gloved hand.

"And then what?" Strange asks while standing up.

"I finally rest...and watch the sun rise on a grateful universe. The hardest choices require the strongest wills." Thanos says.

"I think you'll find our will...equal...to yours." Strange tells him while summoning his magic shields.

"Our?" Thanos asks.

Tony then pushed against the debris, heading down at full speed. He focused on Thanos, making sure he was the only target in his trajectory.

Thanos was soon crushed under the weight of the debris. An explosion rippled and a giant dust cloud followed.

Thanos, with the power of the infinity stones, had been able to retaliate.

"Piece of cake, Quill." Tony tells the spaceman.

"Yeah, if your goal was to piss him off." Quill says as he joins him in the air.

Tony watched as the debris disintegrated, almost into small clusters of shredded metal.

Purple light enveloped around the damage. At the epicentre of the explosion, was Thanos, and Quill was right, he was pissed off.

Thanos reclined his head, and howled, angrily. The purple light disappeared, swiftly replaced by red as he harnessed the power of the reality stone.

The renaissance of the debris turned into a flock of birds or bats, Tony could not tell.

Whatever they were, they were coming for him. They flew into him, knocking him off course.

They dragged him through the wreckage of another fallen structure, he shot at them.

Peter, he leps in knowing he needs to do whatever it takes in order to stop Thanos. He plans on killing trillions.

This was exactly why he became Agent S. To stop the madmen who thought their plans were the right thing to do.

He goes swinging in and shoots a web at Thanos' face as Drax comes sliding in and slices his knee.

Strange appears and starts using some spells and helps Quill as he comes in and plants a bomb on Thanos and raises his middle finger to him as Strange opens a portal behind him.

"Boom!" Quill says as he disappears and the bomb goes off.

"Don't let him close his fist." Strange tells the Cloak of Levitation and it flies off and attaches itself to Thanos' fist.

Strange starts using portals and Peter comes swinging in ready to do his part.

"Magic!" Peter shouts as Strange opens another portal and Peter falls into it.

Peter then turns up again from behind him. "More magic!" He says as he grabs Thanos' head and kicks him in the knee, searching for his weak spot, Achilles heel, anything.

"Magic with a kick." Peter says as he kicks Thanos in the face.

Hey, nobody said you couldn't have a bit of fun along the way to save the universe, right?

"Magic with a..." he was saying when Thanos finally got smart and grabbed Peter before slamming him into the ground.

"Insect!" Thanos states and Peter was in too much pain to correct him as Thanos crushes his neck. He takes Peter and uses him to hurl at Strange, taking him down and rips the cloak off his hand.

Tony came flying back in while fired missiles, hitting Thanos, stopping him from further pursuing Peter or Strange.

Peter took this opportunity to come swinging back in and uses all of his strength to rip the gauntlet out of Thanos' hands which turned into a tug of war situation.

But, sadly Thanos gained the upper hand in the end as he pulls Peter towards him and punches him in the face, sending him toppling.

Suddenly, a space craft comes in and crashes into Thanos revealing Nebula, Thanos' daughter, as she punches Thanos in the face.

"You should have killed me." Nebula informs Thanos angrily.

"Would've been a wast of parts!" Thanos says and Nebula uses her weapon and starts swinging at Thanos who doesn't even flinch.

"Where's Gamora?!" Nebula asks when thanks just smacks her.

Strange uses the time he was distracted to wrap up his arm so he can't use the stones against them.

Drax comes in and kicks his knee to hold him down.

Quill comes in and uses a gravity mine to hold Thanos' other arm down and Peter comes swinging in and uses his webs to hold him down completely.

Tony comes flying in and starts holding the gauntlet hand as Strange uses his portals to drop Mantis on top of Thanos and she starts using her powers to put him under.

They did it! They just need to get the gauntlet off of him and they win.

"Is he under? Don't let up." Tony asks and warns Mantis.

"Be quick. He is very strong." Mantis begs them.

"Parker! Help." Tony calls for Peter who runs and starts helping pull the gauntlet off. "She can't hold him much longer. Let's go."

Quill comes flying in and removes his mask.

"We've got to open his fingers to get it off." Peter tells Tony as he's surprised just how strong Thanos is compared to him, considering he can match the Hulk and Captain America.

"I thought you'd be harder to catch." Quill sneered, "For the record, this was my plan." He pointed over at Tony, before getting back to the task at hand, "Not so strong now, huh?" He dropped the act, "Where is Gamora?"

"My...Gamora." Thanos cried out.

"No, bullshit!" Quill snapped, "Where is she!?"

"He is in anguish." Mantis sobbed.

"Good." Quill spat.

"He...he..." She stuttered, "Mourns."

"What does this monster have to mourn?!" Drax screamed.

Peter kept pulling, knowing that he needed to get the gauntlet off, fast. He just knew what was about to be said. He knew who Thanos was mourning. They all did. Although, most of them would not care to admit to it.

Thanos kidnapped this Gamora and returned without her. She was dead, and Peter knew, the monster that Thanos was, he'd killed her. He had the nerve to mourn and act like he loved her when it was his choice to end her life. No matter what the circumstance was, he had murdered his own daughter.

That's how he knew he couldn't reason with this monster in the end like he tried to with the rest of his enemies.

"Gamora." Nebula muttered, confirming Peter's instincts.

"What?" Quill uttered in disbelief.

"He took her to Vormir." She explained, "He came back with the Soul Stone...she didn't."

Tony knew, that if he was in Quill's shoes right now, and found out that Pepper had been murdered, he wouldn't give a damn about the universe, not when overwhelmed by grief and unbridled anger.

He'd fight to kill, which was what Quill was going to do because he just lost the love of his life. Everything else faded away into nothing.

"Okay, Quill, you gotta cool it right now, you understand?" Tony said softly, trying to stop him before it was too late. Quill was unphased, and kept his eyes locked on Thanos, "Don't, don't, don't engage, we've almost got this off!"

"Tell me she's lying." Quill comands Thanos. "Asshole, tell me you didn't do it!"

"I...had...to..." Thanos says confirming their fears.

No, you didn't." Quill cried, shaking his head, "No, you didn't." He swung back his gun, and used it to hit Thanos in the face, "No, you didn't!" He screamed, his actions knocked Mantis back, freeing Thanos from her powers and everyone shouts at him to stop.

"Quill!" Tony rushed forward grabbing his arm, "Hey, stop! Hey, stop! Stop! Hey, stop! Stop!" He tells him as Peter is left to pull the gauntlet off himself.

"It's coming! It's coming! It's coming!" Peter shouted over the noise, this was it. The fate of the universe rested on his shoulders. It's up to him to save everyone and he almost have. "I got it! I got it..."

He was so close, but then, Thanos woke up, he pulled on the gauntlet, pushing Peter on his back. He then tossed Mantis off his back, she twisted through the air.

"Oh, God!" Peter bounced up and caught her in his open arms.

Thanos was not taking any prisoners, not this time around.

Not when he knew what he was up against. Using the power stone, Thanos knocked the rest of the guardians back. He had already pushed Strange off course, and that only left Tony.

Tony tried his best to take Thanos on alone, but he wasn't an equal match for four infinity stones. He watched, as Thanos harnessed the power stone, once again, and used it to summon one of Titan's moons.

Thanos held his hand out towards Tony, and the clusters of moon rock started to head straight for him.

Tony then got into a defensive position and readied himself for the impact.
