MALCOLM SALVATORE LAWRENCE USED HIS CLAWS TO TRY AND RIP THROUGH THE MEAT OF THANOS'S LEG.

Steve continued to punch him, uppercutting him.

Thanos reached a hand out, either going to snap Steve's neck and grab him to toss him. But, Steve held onto the gantleted hand, stopping it. Thanks looked shocked, pushing against Steve's strength.

Malcolm grabbed the other arm, planning to snap the arm. If he could, it proved to be extremely difficult to harm the other. Malcolm knew that both he and Steve held the titan back, longer than he thought that they would. Or could be able to. "Somebody, hey the stones!" Malcolm yelled, as neither he nor Steve could let go or they would risk Thanos escaping from their grip.

Malcolm started to twist the arm, Thanos fighting back against both of the two, enhanced strength men.

Malcolm wasn't able to break the other's arm as he had sounded planned as he was able to slightly shift his arm, swinging and making Malcolm and Steve harshly collide into each other.

Thanos then knocked Steve out when he had punched him. He tossed Malcolm feet away, who collided into a tree.

Malcolm realized, belatedly, that his hands had blood. His claws were splattered with it.
Malcolm looked back up, seeing Wanda use one of her hands to hold back Thanos and her other to destroy the stone. To destroy Vision.

Malcolm struggled to get up quickly, covered in his own blood. Of course, the arm that was bent the other way and shoulder out of it's place didn't held either.

The werewolf turned around, jamming his shoulder back into he place. The arm started to heal as Thanos walked closer and closer, fighting against Wanda's power.

Malcolm ran up, tackling the stronger one. He was shocked that he had been able to make him move.
Malcolm didn't wasn't his time as he brought up his arm.

"Malcolm! Get out of the way!" Wanda yelled. He could feel how her powers were hurting him.

Malcolm was flung way, but not by Thanos. As Wanda went back to pushing back Thanos, and destroying the stone.

Why would she do that? Malcolm questioned, finding his balance before quickly getting up. He ran one to Bucky, shaking the other. "Get up."

Wanda has detritus the stone, and in order to destroy the stone, she had to destroy Vision.

"I understand my child," he heard Thanos say. "Better than anyone."

"You could never." Wanda glared right back at him.

Thanos had brought down his hand, placing it on Wanda's head and he mocked a gesture of carefully soothing her. "Today, I lost more than you can know."

Wanda flinched, dunking her head down. Malcolm stood up, carefully but quickly advancing toward them. Thanos was distracted, perhaps Malcolm can truly rip out his throat.

"But now is no time to mourn." Thanos said, stopping in his mockery of condolences as he walked over to Vision's body. "Now is now time at all."

Malcolm ran up to him, THANOS'S guanlet made a green force, and Malcolm froze in the air. But he watched as Vision was placed back together.

"No!" Wanda yelled once she had realized what he was doing, as Vision was now completely out together. Thanos smacked Wanda, making her fly back and hit the ground. She knocked onto Malcolm as she did, who grabbed her on a reflex and dunked and they rolled.

Thanks grabbed Vision by his throat, lifting him up then ripping the stone from his head. He brought the time to his gauntlet.
The colors of the stones cracking all over his body. Thanos screamed.

Then lighting stunk him. Thanos lifted his hand, aiming to hurt Thor, who had thrown his new hammer at the titan. The hammer reflected the power of the stones, bringing it right back to Thanos and hitting him with full force.

The ax was buried in his chest. Thor landed right in front of him and Malcolm ran up as well. "Kill him, Thor!"

Thor gripped the other's head, glaring. "I told you...you'd die for that." Thor pressed down on the weapon.

Thanos screamed, as he felt the ax sink deeper. Malcolm jumped up, claws about to meet Thanos's throat. Thanos breathes heavily, struggling. "You should...you should...you should have gone for the head." Malcolm's claws sink into his throat making the titan scream, but struggle to do so.

Thanos was still able to snap.

"No!"

"What did you do?" Thor asked, shocked and horrified.

Malcolm started as well, shocked that the Titan was even alive this long. He should be dead. The ax in his chest, the blood pouring down his body from his neck, the burns that has erupted from the snap.

"What's you do?" Thor asked again, threateningly as he yelled. Thanos lifted his arm, a portal appearing behind as he fell back into it.

Steve walked out, holding his side.  "Where'd he go?" He glanced around. "Thor? Malcolm?"

Once again, neither had answered the blond-haired solider. "Where's he go?"

"We lost." Malcolm replies, still in a state of shock that the titan has enough power to snap is fingers with all the damage he had taken.

"Steve?" Bucky's voice filled the empty space, his hand turning into dust. Malcolm's eyes widen, trying to run forward but, all he was met was with Bucky's gun.

Bucky disintegrated into dust.

Malcolm started down at his hands. "Sam." He whispered after a second, then took off tuning, listening for his best friends voice.

He could hear how heartbeats started to lessen as people were dusted into nothing. "Sam!" He yelled. "Sam!"

"Malcolm!" Sam yelled back, and Malcolm took off tuning. He made it to Sam in less than a second.

"Sam." Malcolm's Smoke was wiped from his face when Sam groaned, him moving forward as he went to take his friend's pain away.
Sam started to dust away, Malcolm grabbing the outstretched hand.

The veins in his arm stared to turn black, but Sam's hand disappeared into nothing in Malcolm's. "Sam! No!"
