[Cut to the past, at Gamora's home planet Zen-Whoberi during Thanos's massacre. Gamora and her mother are hiding; the sounds of guns and screaming are outside.]

"What.. what is this?" Tony asked aloud.

"My Home Planet." Gamora said in a monotone voice, trying to cover her sadness and anger. Some heroes trying to comprehend someone seeing their home and family destruction with this much detachment. But Nick Fury, Natasha Romanoff, Peter Quill, Loki Odinson and Stephen Strange saw right through the facade. Peter squished Gamora's hand in sympathy.

Gamora's Mother: [to Young Gamora] Shhh. We'll be safe. We'll be safe.

"I wish..." Peter said sadly.

[An explosion goes off close by and Gamora screeches by reflex, revealing their hiding spot.]

Child of Thanos: [untranslated inquiry]

[The door is smashed open and both Zehobereians scream.]

Peter and Scott jumped at the scream but for different reasons.

The only thought circling Steve's mind was 'is only death and destruction is in the future' but who can say what will happened.

[Outside, it is utter chaos. Leviathans, Chitauri chariots and ring-ships fly overhead; explosions and energy bolts from numerous sources criss-cross the panicked population, felling them randomly; smoke arises from countless fires.]

"This was Earth's fate if you had lost!" Rhody said horrified.

Everyone had a very descriptive image of earth had the Core Avengers had lost. And every image is more horrific than the other.

Ebony Maw: Zehobereians...

Young Gamora: [being dragged by one arm through the crowds] Mother! Where's my mother?!

Ebony Maw: Choose a side, or die.

This got number of shout which cannot be comprehend by children. Let just say Deadpool would be proud on them.

"Guy's Children are here!" Steve yell over others with his hands over Peter's ears. With Peter looking thoroughly embarrassed.

Young Gamora: Mother! [She punches at the arm of the one dragging her who surprisingly drops her arm and leaves]

Ebony Maw: One side is a revelation. The other, an honor known only to a few.

"I am groot. (I am bored of him.)" Groot sighs. Rocket, Gamora, Loki and Thor mode.

"More like had enough of him." Strange comments and got a Surprise looks from everyone. Not even THE Spy can hide his surprise.

"How can you understand him, Tarren!?" Rocket asked astonished.

"Well I did a Dimensional Voice Translation Spell on myself after learning that Groot speaks a Different language." Stephen explains "and please call me Stephen."

"Good one, Wizard. If I didn't know that language already, it would be my first choice to use that spell." Loki approved with a snarky smirk at everyone's flabgarded expression.

[Gamora turns and finds herself facing Thanos in his full Titan armour.]

Thanos: What's wrong, little one?

Young Gamora: My mother. Where is my mother?

"You were brave even at that age!" Sam stated.

"Reminds you of someone?" Clint signed at Natasha in ASL (American Sign Language). Result were marked by a sad nod from Deadliest Woman on Earth.

Thanos: [kneels down to Gamora.] What's your name?

Young Gamora: Gamora.

Thanos: You're quite the fighter, Gamora. Come. Let me help you. [Thanos offers his hand; she wraps her little fingers around one massive finger, and he leads her to a pavilion, where he crouches to her eye level again and produces a small - for him - red-jeweled handle. Pressing the switch, razor-sharp blades pop out both ends.] Look. Pretty, isn't it? Perfectly balanced. As all things should be. Too much to one side, or the other... [He balances it on one finger, overbalances it purposefully and catches it.] Here. You try.

A Tense silence succeeded inside the room.

[Thanos hands Gamora the dagger - the handle is two child-palms' widths in length. She tries balancing it on her index finger.]

Ebony Maw: Now go in peace, and meet your Maker.

[One half of the crowd is shot down. The survivors scream in horror, and Gamora tries to turn but Thanos prevents her from seeing the massacre.]

"That Basterd." Quill shouted and unsurprisingly everyone agreed with him.

Thanos: Concentrate. There! You've got it.

[Cut to the present, aboard the GUARDIANS' ship. Gamora is brooding, activates the spring-action blades on the same dagger.]

Peter Quill: Gamora. Do you know if these grenades are the "blow off your junk" kind or the gas kind? 'Cause I was thinking I might hang a couple on my belt right here. But I don't want to-

Gamora: I need to ask a favor.

"Are you going to do what I think what you are doing? I had seen your expression when Thor was listing the Stones. You know where it is." Natasha commented,with Clint, Fury, Loki and Stephen nodding at similar observations of themselves. Gamora just nods and shrugs as to say 'i guess'. With others in room very confused.

"Is anyone gonna tell us what you are talking about?" Tony asked. But got silence as his answer.

Peter Quill: Yeah, sure.

Gamora: One way or another, the path that we're on leads to Thanos.

Peter Quill: Which is what the grenades are for. [Gamora silences him with a look.] I'm sorry. What's the favor?

Gamora: If things go wrong... If Thanos gets me... I want you to promise me... you'll kill me.

"What!?" Shouted everyone other than those who now confirmed what they suspected till now.

Peter Quill: [A beat. Confusion.] What?

Blinks.

Gamora: I know something he doesn't. If he finds out... The entire Universe could be at risk.

The more smart ones connect the dots. Meaning Tony, Peter, Rocket, Groot, Carol, Hill, Wanda, Vision, Shuri and T'challa. The Legendaries are still out of their depths. Aka Rhody, Scott, Thor, Drax, Mantis, Steve, Sam and Bucky.

Peter Quill: What do you know?

Gamora: If I tell you, you'd know, too.

Peter Quill: If it's so important, shouldn't I?

Gamora: Only if you wanna die.

Peter Quill: Why does somebody always have to die in this scenario?

Gamora: Just... trust me. And possibly, kill me.

Peter Quill: I mean, I'd like to. I really would... [Gamora silences him by covering his mouth with her hand.]

Gamora: Swear to me. Swear to me on your mother.

Peter Quill: [a beat. One that rests with him significantly.] Okay.

"Gamora what's going on!?" Asked a voice full of fear belonging to one Peter Quill.

By now Steve, Thor and Rhody who also come to right conclusion in sync with those who knows what Gamora is thinking gave a look of Pity and Sympathy to the couple. While the remaining legendaries look confused.

[The two kiss, until an odd crunching sound startles them. Drax is standing in the corner.]

"Oh come onn. What's with this 'Movie' and interruption in romantic scenes." Peter shouted. Got reaction from the two couples and Tony in embarrassment and everyone else minus The Spy in chuckles.

Peter Quill: Dude. How long have you been standing there?

Drax: An hour.

"Seriously!?" Asked an astonished Maria Hill with one eyebrow raised.

Peter Quill: An hour? Are you serious?

Drax: I've mastered the ability of standing so incredibly still... That I become invisible to the eye... Watch.

[Drax stands motionless, then very slowly raises his hand towards his mouth]

"Is this guy for real!!?" Bruce whispered quietly.

"But I can see you Drax." Mantis stated.

"Damn it." Drax cursed.

Peter Quill: You're eating a zarg-nut.

"Uhh.. What-nut?" Scott asked.

"Zarg.. Zarg-nut. It makes one of the most loud noise when cracked in the entire galaxy." Carol informed.

Drax: But my movement... was so slow... that it's imperceptible.

Peter Quill: Mmm, no. [Quill and Gamora shake their heads.]

Drax: I'm sure I'm invisible.

"One can surely Hope." Shuri chilled, smirking.

Mantis: Hi, Drax.

Drax: [Knowing when he is beat] Damn it.

A Cue of laughter.

[The Benatar flies towards a massive skull and flies through one eyehole into a vast interior cavern. Screen title: KNOWHERE]

"What is this Place?" T'challa wonders loudly.

"It is a skull of Dead Celestial, my friends." Thor explained.

"Hmm.. Celestials.. I know somewhat about them. It is said they start, observe and judge a civilization on planet. There are not many written occurrences about them on earth." Strange countered.

Loki got more and more impressed with 'the mortal wizard', even if he will thoroughly deny any statement. 'A mortal with this much through knowledge about cosmic beings is a plus point in his book.'

Peter Quill: This place looks deserted.

"It looks too quit." Fury said with a glare at the screen.

Steve, Maria, Clint, Natasha, Carol and Gamora all there instincts are screaming 'TRAP' as they look at the screen. Their years of experience on battle fields of small and big sizes telling them something is wrong and all silently agreed with Fury on his observation.

Drax: I'm reading movement from the third quadrant.

Peter Quill: Yep. I'm picking that up, too. Let's put it down right here.

[The four Guardians disembark and sneak into the Collector's collection room, which is in ruins. Thanos is threatening the Collector while the Guardians hide behind rubble.]

Collector: I don't have it.

Thanos: Everyone in the Galaxy knows you'd sell your own brother if you thought it would add the slightest trinket to your pathetic collection.

"At least he doesn't have the stone yet." Bucky addressed positively.

'Then why it feels like a trap to me.' this thought goes through Fury, Maria, Natasha, Clint, Steve, Carol and Gamora's mind simultaneously and all exchanged meaningful glances and sour looks with each other (or atleast as much sour look that can be seen from indifferent mask of everyone of them. But as all of them are highly trained as soldiers they can look past the poorly held masks.)

[Quill stops, and holds up a fist meaning 'halt' in the silent language of soldiers. Everybody walks quietly past him.]

"And you said you are the Captain." Snorted Wanda.

"But I Am" Quill Pouted "That is My Ship"

Thanos: I know you have the Reality Stone, Tivan. Giving it to me will spare you a great deal of suffering. [Thanos places a heavy boot on the middle of the Collector's chest and presses.]

Collector: [strained] I told you. I sold it. Why would I lie?

Thanos: I imagine it's like breathing for you.

Collector: Like suicide.

Thanos: So you do understand. Not even you would surrender something so precious.

Collector: I didn't know what it was.

Thanos: Then you're more of a fool than I took you for. Last chance, charlatan. Where's the Stone?

Drax: Today...

Peter Quill: [grasping the danger] Drax. Drax.

Drax: ...he pays for the deaths of my wife and daughter.

"He may deserve to die. But if you attack him recklessly then it only means you are taking your team in a grave danger!" Hill tried to reason with the Screen Drax.

No one seems to care through, all studying the scene with wide eyes, waiting for the hell to broke lose.

Peter Quill: Drax, waaaaait! [Drax draws his long dagger from his leg scabbard] Not yet, not yet, not yet. [Drax gives him a look and heads towards Thanos. Quill hurries as quietly as possible to catch up.] Drax, Drax, Drax. He doesn't have the Stone yet. We get it, and then we can stop him. We have to get the Stone first. Yeah.

Drax: No. No. For Ovette. For Camaria.

[Quill starts to struggle with Drax when Mantis puts her hand on the back of Drax's head]

"Yes, you gonna put him to sleep." Quill sighs reviled.

"But Drax is going to drop on a metallic surface which has high probability to make a loud noise, and alerting your enemy." Vision pointed out. Making everyone on their seat's edges.

Mantis: Sleeeep. [Drax is knocked out, his falling body causing a loud crash. Everybody ducks.]

[Thanos looks towards the sound, then picks up the Collector and throws him into a collecting case before walking towards the disturbance]

Peter Quill: Okay. Gamora, Mantis, you go right. I'm... [Gamora moves towards Thanos] The other right!

Tony Facepalms. While most other also wanting to bang their heads on the wall.

"How are you all even a Team!?" Steve wondered groaning.

[Gamora leaps on Thanos from a stack of boxes, swinging her sword at him. He snaps the swordblade in half, and Gamora stabs him in the throat with the stub, his lower jaw sagging and himself letting out a hoarse groan, then he is stabbed in the chest with the red-jewelled dagger.]

"She did it." Everyone smiled other then the group of people whom instincts told a different story.

Thanos: Why? [he falls down] Why you? Daughter... [he holds his hand out to her, blood pooling out from his neck wound, before collapsing completely. Gamora breaks down, sobbing.]

Natasha got up and goes to put a supportive hand on Gamora's shoulder. And Clint gave a subtle but sympathetic nod to both of them.

In everyone here only some people know how it feels to kill someone you once hold above in your life. Tony, Thor or Quill have killed someone close indirectly.

But Killing your so-called Father by Stabbing him in the chest, Putting a hole in your only friend's head with a gun or piercing you brother's heart with an Arrow gives a whole another level of guilt.

Peter Quill: [surprised] That was quick.

'Too Quick' Even Strange, Thor and Loki thought, and come to an depressing conclusion.

Collector: Magnificent! Magnificent! Magnificent!

Rooms mood was very cheerful, Most people were smiling.

[Suddenly, Thanos's disembodied voice fills the room.]

Fury, Maria, Steve, Natasha, Clint, Hamara, Carol, Stephen, Thor and Loki hangs their heads low in shame. They knew from start something like this is gonna happen but had hoped that they were wrong.

Thanos: Is it sadness I sense in you, daughter? In my heart, I knew you still cared. But one ever knows for sure. Reality is often disappointing.

[The scene disappears - everything in the room is destroyed and/or on fire, the Collector waving bye-bye as he and his case vanish]

Thanos: That is, it was. Now... Reality can be whatever I want.

"He has another one." Sam said horrified.

[Thanos is quite alive and undamaged. He has the red Reality Stone seated in the Infinity Gauntlet.]

Gamora: [her face still wet, but no longer crying] You knew I'd come.

"Ohh God!" Peter uttered.

Thanos: I counted on it. There's something we need to discuss, little one.

[Gamora hesitates for a beat, then reaches for her broken sword. Thanos grabs her by the back of the neck and swings her around in front of him.]

Everyone hopelessly drown the scene.

Drax: Thanos!

[With a pulse of the Reality Stone, both Drax and Mantis are 'disassembled' -- Drax is turned into a stack of tumbling cubes, and Mantis becomes a ribbon version of herself.]

"Did he just..... ..umm.. Nevermind I am Sitting with Wizards and Aliens and Wizard Aliens in a Movie theatre watching Future. How can one turn into small cubes or ribbon and stay alive can Surprise me." Tony interrupt himself and gave a much needed laugh in the room just besides Strange and Loki, even Fury's lips turned upward for a moment.

Peter Quill: [Moving in, his blaster pointed right at Thanos] Let her go, Grimace!

Gamora: Peter...

"Peter. Your Promise." Gamora reminded with a side glare at Quill.

Peter Quill: [to Gamora] I told you to go right.

Gamora: Now? Really?

Theatre's mood sadden significantly.

Peter Quill: You let her go!

Thanos: Ah, the boyfriend.

Peter Quill: I like to think of myself more as a Titan-killing long-term booty call. Let her go.

Gamora: Peter...

Peter Quill: Or I'm gonna blow that nutsack of a chin right off your face!

Gamora: Not him.

[Quill hesitates. He does not shoot anyone.]

Gamora: You promised! You promised.

Thanos: Oh, daughter. You expect too much from him. [to Quill] She's asked, hasn't she? Do it. [There is a very tense and unpleasant pause. Thanos rolls his head and shoves Gamora towards Quill's gun, egging him on.] DO IT!!

"What a Father." Scott yelled shaking his head.

Peter Quill: [tearing up] I told you to go right.

Gamora: I love you, more than anything.

Peter Quill: I love you, too.

[Quill screws up his eyes and pulls the trigger - but a stream of bubbles comes out. Thanos was playing him.]

Thanos: [genuinely sincere] I like you.

[Thanos teleports Gamora and himself away as a stunned Quill picks up Gamora's sword, and his friends painfully re-assemble themselves, the Reality Stone's effects now subsiding in its absence.]

"He got away." Peter said.

[Screen Blacked out]

Everyone looked down, thinking if there waseven a chance of stopping the Titan now, as he has Half of the Stones, taken the person with fourth stones knowledge and another one is at it's way to him.

Are we goona succeed??
