Part Of The Journey Is The End | Avengers Reacting to the Future

Chapter 8 snap

In Wakanda, M'Baku and the Jabari killed several Outriders and chanted. At the same time, Thor casually slaughtered Outriders with his lightning before flying into a dropship, destroying it as he emerged from its top and then flew into another one.

Bucky whistled in appreciation.

Wanda flew to Vision and helped him up when his Mind Stone flared, and he grunted in pain. She asked about it, and he said in fear, "He's here."

Everyone paled as they knew what was about to happen. Wanda had tears in her eyes, a heavy feeling in her stomach.

"Wanda, you need to destroy the Stone," Vision said softly.

"I can't, Vis, I just can't," Wanda choked out.

Vision smiled sadly at her, "But you have to."

Steve looked around and sensed something as he said, "Everyone on my position. We have incoming." Natasha looked around and muttered, "What the hell?" Everyone's eyes darted back and forth. Then Bruce turned around as a portal opened and out marched Thanos.

Rhodey buried his head in his hands. There was no way they were going to beat Thanos; he had five stones already.

"Cap. That's him." Bruce said. Steve brought his shield up, "Eyes up. Stay sharp." Thanos stalked forwards menacingly.

Everyone was stiff and tense. They knew this wasn't going to end well.

Bruce leapt at Thanos, but he used the Space Stone to make him intangible, and Bruce passed through him and went into solid stone where Thanos turned him tangible again, and he was lodged inside it.

Bruce's eyes were wide. He didn't even get a chance to fight him before Thanos threw him away, embarrassingly easy.

Steve charged at Thanos but was flung away by energy from the Power Stone. T'Challa leapt at him, but Thanos grabbed him by the throat and punched him hard. As he fell, his suit discharged all the kinetic energy inside in a powerful but useless burst. Sam flew at Thanos and fired but was knocked down by the Space Stone.

"This is so easy for him," whispered Pepper.

"Wanda. It's time." Vision said. "No," Wanda said. "They can't stop him, Wanda, but we can."

Wanda cried heartbrokenly.

He said, "Look at me." Her lips quivered as he said, "You have the power to destroy the Stone." "Don't." She begged. "You must do it. Wanda, please." He urged, "We are out of time." "I can't." She croaked. "Yes, you can. You can." Vision said, "If he gets the Stone, half the universe dies. It's not fair. It shouldn't be you, but it is."

"I can't do it!" sobbed Wanda. Vision pulled her close and, with a sad smile, said, "You could never hurt me."

Everyone watched Wanda and Vision in sympathy.

"It's all right." Vision said, "You could never hurt me. I just feel you." Wanda finally fired a powerful beam at the Mind Stone with quivering lips as Vision gasped in pain but allowed her to proceed.

Everyone had tears in their eyes at this point. Wanda was shaking.

Rhodes fired at Thanos, but he crushed his suit with the Space Stone, and Rhodes fell.

Tony and Pepper sucked in a breath, worried for Rhodey.

Bucky, Natasha and Okoye charged at Thanos, the former firing with his rifle. Thanos was unaffected and sent him down with a wave of energy from the Power Stone as Okoye threw her spear, but it was sent back by a wave of energy from the Power Stone as well while Okoye was knocked out. Thanos then formed stone pillars from the Reality Stone, trapping Natasha.
