It was absolute chaos aboard the Asgardian Refugee ship.

The attack had completely taken all of the people inside of it off the guard and Thor instantly ordered to evacuate all of the people in the escape pods, leaving Brunnhilde, the last of Valkyries and Korg, one of the Sakaaran gladiators to lead the evacuation.

But, the moment the Chitauri got into their ship, was the moment when the chaos has begun. Everyone who weren't lucky enough to get into the escape pods at the time were massacred by the Chitauri.

As for now, the only thing that was coming out of this ship was a transmission that was repeated over and over again to the universe.

"This is the Asgardian refugee vessel Statesman. We are under assault, I repeat, we are under assault - The engines are dead, life support failing. Requesting aid from any vessel within range. We are 22 jump points out of Asgard. Our crew is made up of Asgardian families, we have very few soldiers here. This is not a warcraft. I repeat, this is not a warcraft!"

Inside of the ship, Ebony Maw, one of the members of the Black Order was walking over the lifeless bodies, as he began his monologue,

"Hear me and rejoice!" 

The bodies of the Asgardian warriors...

"You have had the privilage of being saved by the Great Titan!"

The gladiators from Sakaar...

"You may think this is suffering, no, it is salvation.''

The Asgardian civilians...

Heimdall, former guard of Asgard's Bifrost Bridge was one of the lucky ones that survived their ambush laid on the ground, clenching his wounded stomach as he gasping for breath. He stared up as the member of the Black Order passed him, before his gaze went to Corvus Glaive, another member of the Black Order as he stabbed one of the wounded Asgardians with his glaive, finishing him off.

"Universal scales tipped towards balance because of your sacrifice!""

Men, women... children...

"Smile for even in death, you have become children of Thanos..." Ebony Maw finished his speech as he stopped himself next to the other children of Thanos.

Loki Odinson, the God of Mischief, and the person responsible for the invasion of New York a few years ago was surrounded by all members of the Black Order as he was staring at Thanos. Proxima Midnight had her spear aimed at him, just in case if the God of Mischief had any tricks under his sleeve, even though the possibility of it was very small.

Thanos, the Mad Titan was standing before the large window of the ship. Loki knew which window it was. He and his brother were just talking with each other about their future plans while looking at the cosmos through it, just moments before the attack

"I know what it's like to lose." The Mad Titan spoke up as he turned to Thor, the God of Thunder and one of the Avengers who was laying on the ground. He grabbed him by his breastplate and lifted him up to his knees, "To feel so desperately that you're right, yet to fail nonetheless." He squazzed Thor, causing him to let out cry of pain, "Turns the legs to jelly. I ask you, to what end? Dread it. Run from it. Destiny arrives all the same." 

Thanos stopped before Loki, as he held up the golden gauntlet on his hand, revealing that the Power Stone, one of the six Infinity Stones was already in it, "And now it's here, or should I say I am."

Thor spit blood out of his blood, "...You talk too much..."

Thanos now held Thor by his head, moving the gauntlet closer to Thor's head, with the Power Stone glowing slightly, "The Tesseract, or your brother's head. I assume you have a preference.''

"Oh, I do. Kill away." Loki smirked in response, waving his hand, to show that it wouldn't matter to him if something happened to his brother.

The Mad Titan turned the gauntlet to press the Power Stone to Thor's left temple. The Power Stone glowed brightly as Thor began to scream in agony.

Loki cringed at his brother's screams, as he was trying to keep straight, not to show that it hurt him to see what was happening to his brother. It lasted a very short moment, before he shouted, "Alright! Stop!" 

''...We don't have the Tesseract. It was destroyed on Asgard." Thor exclaimed, gasping for a breath.

Loki bit his lip at that. If Thor only knew how wrong he was right now. He raised his hand in the air and the Tesseract appeared in the view of all of them.

"You really are the worst, brother..." Thor muttered, glaring at Loki.

"I assure you, brother... the sun will shine on us again.'' Loki said, holding the blue clube before himself, and slowly walking towards Thanos.

''Your optimism is misplaced, Asgardian.'' Thanos stated.

''Well, for one thing, I'm not Asgardian." Loki pointed out, "And for another. We have a Hulk."

Thanos looks to his right just as a green and very angry mass slams into him as Loki dived to Thor, pulling both of them out of the way as the Tesseract was sent flying across the room. The Hulk proceeded to punch Thanos all over his body, forcing the Mad Titan backwards and shoving him into the wall of the ship.

Cull Obsidian stepped forward, but Ebony Maw stopped from interfering, "Let him have his fun."

The Hulk held Thanos against the wall for a moment, before the latter one began to pry his hands away. An expression of suprise and confusion grew on the Hulk's face, and when it was finally a good moment to strike back, Thanos punched him in the neck, causing him to step backwards in pain. The Hulk held his hand to his neck as he tried to punch Thanos with the other one, but it did nothing, as Thanos easily ducked his blow. He was sent forward, giving Thanos the ocassion to punch him in the back. He quickly turned back around to Thanos where he tried to punch him, but once again, it did nothing, as Thanos ducked this attack as well. The Hulk's became even more confused, and it since then he was just beaten, without giving the Mad Titan any problem. Thanos applied strong blows onto the weak points that the Hulk didn't even know existed. 

When he backed down to clench those points, it was when Thanos fully unloaded on him. Every blow was so strong, that it would surely kill a normal human being by only one punch. The Hulk was abused and tossed around like a ragdoll, or a toy that a child didn't want to play with anymore. Thanos' punches were simply too fast for him, and he couldn't simply strike back at this moment. The Mad Titan finished a rather short fight between him and the Hulk by driving the latter one's face into his kneecap, which was followed by a sickiening crunch. 

Thanos lifted him, above his head, and then slammed him down onto the floor of the ship. 

And with that, the Incredible Hulk laid on the floor, beaten and defeated.

Then, completely out of nowhere Thor slammed a metal bar across Thanos' back but it didn't do nothing to the Mad Titain who  kicked him across the deck by and when he was getting himself back on his feet, he was bound in metal debris by Ebony Maw to keep him from interfering further.

 "...Allfathers..." Thor could hear Heimdall's voice as he glanced over to the wounded man, holding his hand to the beaten Hulk, "Let the dark magic flow through me one last... time.''

When Thor realized what Heimdall was doing, a light began to glow int the ship as Bifrost was summoned whick takes the Hulk out of the ship.

Thanos shook his head as he made his way over to the Asgardian, "That was a mistake."

"No!" Thor's grief stricken scream was heard all over the ship as after Thanos borrowed Corvus Glaive's glaive and stabbed Heimdall straight in the heart with it, "You're going to die for that!"

Ebony Maw covered his lips with two pieces of metal and held up a mocking, "Shh...."

Then, the child of Thanos picked up the  the Tesseract from where it had fallen and held it up, before getting himself on his knee, offering it to Thanos who slowly started to take his armor off, ''My humble personage... bows before your grandeur. No other being has ever had the might, nay the nobility, to wield not one, but two Infinity Stones. The universe lies within your grasp.''

Thor watched in horror as Thanos took the Tesseract from Ebony Maw and crushed it to pieces, revealing the Space Stone hidden inside. He admired it for a second, before placing it down on his gauntlet beside the Power Stone.

"There are two more stones on the Earth." He said, looking over at his children, "Find them my children and bring them to me on Titan."

Ebony Maw, Cull Obsidian, Corvus Glaive and Proxima Midnight all bowed to their father, with Proxima saying to him, "Father we will not fail you."

"If I might interject..." Loki spoke up, as everyone turned to him, "If you're going to Earth, you might want a guide. I do have a bit of experience in that arena."

"If you consider failure experience." Thanos frowned, unimpressed.

"I consider experience, experience.'' Loki explained, walking over to the Mad Titan, "Almighty Thanos, I... Loki... Prince of Asgard..." He glanced over at Thor before continuing, "Odinson... the rightful King of Jotunheim... God of Mischief... do hereby pledge to you, my undying fidelity."

Thor noticed something coming out of Loki's sleeve. It was a dagger. Loki braced himself, and thrustedupward with lightning speed and attempts to stab Thanos, but was frozen in place by the Space Stone's before the point could strike.

"Undying. You should choose your words more carefully." Thanos stated, as he took the dagger out of Loki's hand. He took hold of Loki and lifted him up to his eye level. The God of Mischief could feel his throat being squeezed as he struggled to break himself free, but unfortunely he couldn't do anything to break himself free from Thanos' grasp.

With one final breath, Loki struggled but eventually managed to say, "...You will never be... a God..." 

Thanos only smiled at Loki's words, as he squeezed him only last time, breaking his beck.

"No!" Thor's scream was muffled by the pieces of metal that were still covering his lips, as Thanos threw his brother's body on the ground, right before him.

"No resurrections this time." He said as he raised his gauntlet, sending the violet power fire through the remains of the ship, before using the Space Stone to teleport himself and the Black Order away.

The moment after they left, Thor broke himself away the bonds. All he could do was to in horror at his brother's lifeless body, as he slowly crawled over to it, putting his head on his brother's chest, shedding tears for all that he has just lost.

It was only moments before the ship exploded, with him still being inside...

Location: Space

This day started off as any other day for the Guardians of the Galaxy. Flying by a few cluster of planets, listening to Quill's Zune and to the songs they've never heard before in their lives, save for their captain, of course. Then, completely out of the blue, their communicator started to go crazy, and they received a call that there was a ship under ambush or something like that, and they decided to answer to their call and help them.

As the ship was flying towards the place from which the all came from, Quill turned his zune on, and one of his songs was playing across the ship.

Peter was sitting in the front, absolutely lost in the music. He mouthed all the words. And he was careless in how he sang and danced in his seat. Gamora was singing too, as the other Guardians were minding their own things.

"C'mon!" Quill exlaimed, "Sing it Drax!"

Drax only responded with a snore. He was asleep

"Why are we doing this?" Rocket asked.

"It's a distress call, Rocket." Gamora pointed out, annoyed, "Someone could be dying."

"I get it, but why we're doing this?" Rocket repeated his question.

"Cause we're nice." Quill responded with a small pause, "And maybe whoever it is will give us a little cheddar for our help."

"Which isn't the point." Gamora said, pointing at Quill.

Quill pointed at Gamora, "Which isn't the point... I mean... If he doesn't pony up..."

Rocket nodded his head, going along with what Quill was saying, "We'll take his ship."

"B-b-b-bingo!" Quill laughed, now pointing in Rocket's direction.

Gamora looked up at Quill from her seat, glaring at him, and in response he, almost instantly shook his head. She shook her head, with a unamused look on her face.

Mantis from her chair was staring at the navigator screen as she exclaimed, "We are arriving."

"All right, Guardians. Don't forget this might be dangerous, so let's put on our mean faces." Quill told everyone, to which Mantis did her mean face, showing off her perfectly white teeth. He looked up behind him to see Groot still playing his game, "Groot, put that thing away." Groot didn't even reacted to his call, "Now, I don't want to tell you again." Still nothing, Groot's attention was completely on his game, as if nothing around him existed at this moment, "Groot."

"I am Groot." Groot mocked him, taking his eyes of the game for a second.

Quill's eyes widened, clearly taken off the guard by the insult, "Whoa!"

"Hey!" Gamora shouted to Groot.

"Language!" Rocket scolded Groot.

"Wow..." Drax who was now awake said in awe.

"You got some acorns, kid." Quill stated, shaking his head. At least he knew now how Yondu felt when he was going through the same phase as Groot, now.

Rocket huffed as he shook his head. He pointed at Groot, with his attention focused on Groot's video game as he said, "Ever since you got your little sap, you're a total d-hole. Keep that thing up and I'm going to smash this thing to pieces!"

Groot rolled his eyes, knowing that Rocket was not going to do this. The raccoon always had soft spot for him, which he of course was trying to hid from his fellow Guardians. 

As Rocket finished what he was saying, their ship came out of hyperspace, to reveal nothing but a graveyard to them. Dozens if not hundreds lifeless bodies floated through the vastness of space, with pieces of destroyed ship flying next to them. The ship wasn't actually entirely destroyed and there was half of it left, but if there were any people that survived whatever happened to them, they'd be dead by now.

The entire crew had gone silent at this view. They were too late...

"What happened?" Mantis asked, clearly disturbed by the view. 

"Looks like we're not getting paid." Rocket said, trying to lit up the situation by making a joke, but no one laughed at it, even himself.

Not long, maybe a few seconds after he said that, a body slammed onto the hull of the ship.

"Wipers! Get it off! Get it off!" Rocket shouted, waving his palm around, and a moment later the body's eyes opened and everyone gave a starled yelp.

This man was still alive! But how...

Gamora's eyes widened at this view, as she instantly commanded, "Get him inside."

Quill glanced at her, as he rised up from his seat, "On it, Gam. Rocket, Drax. You're with me."

The three Guardians got to the person that slammed into the windshield of the Guardian's ship was eventually brought into their ship and put on the table in one of the rooms in their ship, but it actually took them quite a while to do so. Everyone were now staring at the man, with many thoughts about him going through their heads.

"How the hell is this dude still alive?" Quill asked what was on some of their minds, breathing heavilly from bringing this man here.

Drax shook his head, "He's not a dude, you're a dude, this... this is a man. A handsome, muscular man..."

"I'm muscular." Quill said, feeling bit a jealous.

"Who are you kidding, Quill. You're one sandwich from fat." Rocket snorted, as he pointed to his stomach area.

"Yeah, right." Quill scoffed, thinking it was just another one of Rocket's attempts to annoy him.

"It's true. You have gained a little weight." Drax said, motioning to Quill's chin and belly with his hands, "Even Azurite and Spinel think like that."

"What?" Quill wasn't excepting that Drax was going to mention these two in this discussion.

"I've talked with Azurite and the gem he grew to cherish a few days ago. He asked me if I noticed that Quill  gained a little weight. Spinel asked me about that as well, she noticed it, even though she doesn't know you that well." Drax explained.

"I'm going to have a little conversation with them after this." Quill said, staring up at Drax in disablief as he turned to Gamora who was circling around the table, hoping that someone was going to take his side, "Gamora do you think I'm..."

Gamora bit her lip, and hesitated to answer, so at the end, she decided to not answer to this question.

Quill was about to ask her again about that, but was interrupted by Mantis, who gently paid her hand on the man's forehead, "He is anxious, angry. He feels tremendous loss, guilt..."

"It's like a pirate had a baby with an angel." Drax commented, still in awe at well this man built.

"Wow..." Quill sniffed, "This is a real wake-up call for me. Okay. I'm gonna get a Bow-flex. I'm gonna commit. I'm gonna get some dumbbells.''

''You know you can't eat dumbbells, right?" Rocket pointed out.

Gamora lifted the man's hand up, and began stroking his triceps, much to the jealousy of Quill, "It's like his muscles are made of Cotati metal fibers.''

"Stop massaging his muscles." It was obvious that Quill was uncomfortable because of the fact that his girlfriend was sizing up another man. Gamora dropped the man's hand on the table almost instantly with annoyed  expression on her face, as Quill turned towards Mantis and said, avoiding Gamora's gaze, "Wake him up."

Mantis nodded her head and slowly placed her hand on the man's forehead, "...Wake."

The man awoke immediately, which frightened Mantis a bit. He got himself off the table and put his back to the opposite wall, and eyed the people before him for a moment, before asking them.

"Who the hell are you guys?"

And here we go with Infinity War!

With this chapter we're slowly nearing the halfway of this story. I may a few ideas relating the next story I can do for Steven Universe when I'll be done with this one.

One of them is an AU with you being a part of the cast since the first episode. (in this AU Pink/Rose would track you down when you were in your ship, and offer you a place as a crystal gem in her rebellion, which you would accept, and would eventually getting accepted by the crystal gems for what you are, and everything related to Marvel would be cut out. Your gem name would still be Azurite)

The other idea is also an male reader story, where male reader is a host to our favourite symbiote (Venom), and you eventually join our heroes (because for first few chapter in this story, you've been hiding from them the fact that you are a host to Venom)

Oh, and in both of those stories there eventually would be so lovey-dovey between you and Peridot, because there aren't many PeridotxMale Reader stories around. There won't be romance between you and Spinel in the story when you're with the crystal gems since the first episode, because you two wouldn't met each other until the movie.

I also, have in mind an idea for a CentixMaleReader story. All I can say about it, because I'm still figuring out a lot of things about this story, is that the reader is Lars cousin who was spending his summer with his cousin and his family, and you met Centi after Steven wanted you to look after her when she was partially uncurropted, and this story would be about you coming to Beach City to spent your summer there, again, this time when Centi is fully uncorrupted.

Also, a question for you. Who's your favourite one from the Black Order? Personally, my favourite one was Ebony Maw.
