Corvus is smashing the warriors as Peter comes in and holds him down with his arms as Black Panther come in and smashes him into the ground. Rocket is shooting Outriders everywhere. "Come and get some, space dogs!" He shouts as Bucky grabs him and spins him around and puts him down. "How much for the gun?" He asks the man. "Not for sale." He says. "All right, how much for the arm?" He asks him as he walks away. "Oh, I'll get that arm." Rocket promises. Thor is swinging stormbreaker and killing Outriders left and right and finds Steve Rodgers. "New haircut?" He asks Thor. "Noticed you've copied my beard." Thor says as Groot kills Outriders. "Oh, these are a few friends of mine. The tree and spider." Thor says, pointing at them. "I am Groot." Groot says. "I am Steve Rogers." Steve says. "Wait, Steve Rogers?" Peter says, retracting his mask. "As in, Captain America? Aren't you supposed to be dead?" He asks the living legend. "What, I'm heard about from space?" Steve asks him. "I'm from Queens." Peter says. "Brooklyn." Steve says as they go back to fighting as something enters from under the force field. They see giant saws coming in. "Fall back! Fall back now!" He hears Black Panther shout as they do so. Peter watches as some girl comes flying in and takes down the giant saws easily. Peter starts to wonder just how much he's missed since he's been away. "Why was she up there all this time?" He hears a woman asking. "Guys, we've got a vision situation here." Peter hears the man with wings say before he gets taken down. "Someone get to Vision!" He hears Captain America say. "I got him." He hears Bruce say as he take off. Peter decides he has to help and follows him with his repulsers.

In the woods, Vision is getting up from falling from the castle and Bruce lands in front of Corvus and Midnight. "Ah, no, no you don't. This isn't gonna be like New York, pal. This suit already kicked the crap out of the Hulk." Bruce says as Corvus swings his weapon and cuts off his arm and they go flying. "Guys! Vision needs backup, now!" Bruce says, meanwhile Vision is fighting off Midnight. "I thought you were formidable, machine. But you're dying, like any man." Midnight says after stabbing Vision and he falls to the ground. Before he found finish the job, Peter comes singing in and taking him down. "Get out of here!" Peter yells to Vision, seeing he has the mind infinity Stone in his head. "Go!" He shouts while holding back Midnight. Midnight takes his staff and tries cutting Peter's armor but it's too thick. Peter takes one of his mettalic arms and stabs Midnight with it, killing him.

Thor is flying around, destroying the ships, Wanda comes flying in to check on Vision. "You okay?" She asks him as he starts screaming. "What? What is it?" She asks him. "He's here." Vision says. Peter's senses start screaming at him as the trees start moving. "Everyone, on my position." Steve says. "We have incoming." He says as Peter's senses go into overload as he turns around and sees a portal open and Thanos steps through. Peter looks in fear and terror as he sees he has 5 of the 6 stones. And the only thing stopping him from killing half of all life, is them. "Cap, that's him." Bruce says. "Eyes up. Stay sharp!" Cap says as he activates his shield arms and charge at him. They all charge at Thanos and they're all taken down easily. Peter comes swinging in and tries pulling the gauntlet off using his webs and metallic arms and they're not enough as Thanos pulls him towards him and grabs him by the neck. "Insect." He says, slamming Peter to the ground. Groot comes in and tries holding him down with vines and Thanos stops it. Peter looks and sees the girl using her powers on Vision's stone, destroying it but she needs more time. Peter gets back up and slides in between Thanos' legs and uses his metallic arms to hold him back and Thanos goes to punch him and Peter uses all of his strength to hold him back. He starts using his metallic arms to keep him up as Thanos uses his free hand and punches Peter in the face, destroying his mask, shattering it across the field as Peter falls unconscious. Thanos makes his way towards Wanda as she uses her powers to hold back Thanos and destroy the stone. When Vision dies, a blast of energy flies and wakes Peter up. Wanda falls to the ground and cries. "I understand, my child." Thanos says to crying Wanda. "You could never." She tells him. "Today, I lost more than you could ever know." He tells her. "But now is not the time to mourn. Now is no time at all." Thanos says as he starts using the time stolen to bring Vision back. "No!" Wanda yells and Thanos hits her away and takes Vision's stone and kills him. Peter dies everything he can to try to stand and can't do anything as Thanos places the final stone he needs to wipe out half of the universe. Suddenly, a blast of energy comes in and Peter sees Thor with stormbreaker as he throws the axe and it starts making its way to Thanos as it impales his chest. Thor flies down to him. "I told you..you'd die for that." Thor says as Thanos screams. "You...you should've gone for the head." Thanos says as he raises his fist. "No!" Thor yells as Thanos...SNAP.

"What did you do?!" Thor asks Thanos. "What did you do?!" He asks again as Thanos opens a portal and escape. Steve comes out of the forest and looks sprung. "Where's he go? Thor. Where'd he go?" Steve asks. "Steve?" Bucky calls his friend as he starts turning into ashes and falls to the ground, completely turned into dust. T'Challa finds Okoye. "Up, General, up. This is no place to die." He says as he starts turning to ashes in her hands. Falcon starts getting up seeing his legs are turning into ashes. "Sam! Hey, Sam, where you at?!" Rhodes calls for his friend, not realizing he also turned to ash. "I...am...Groot." Groot says, laying against a log, as he's turning into ashes. "No." Rocket says. "No, no, no...Groot." Rocket says, sadly as he dies again. "Rocket?" Peter calls, Rocket turns and sees him and his face is mostly beaten in. "I don't feel so good..." he says as he starts falling to his knees. Rocket runs up to him as he starts panicking and falls onto his knees and grabs onto Rocket. "It's...it's happening, Rocket. I don't wanna go, Rocket. Please." Peter starts begging. "Come on, kid. You gotta stay with me, now. You hear." Rocket says, trying to hold back tears as he can't believe after everything they've been through, he looses the 2 most important people of his life because of one man. Peter slips onto the ground. "Rocket, find them." Peter asks Rocket, regarding his family. "Tell them...I'm sorry. I thought I'd have more...I thought I'd have more time."

"Come on, Pete, stay with me. I can't loose you..." Rocket tells him. "I'm sorry, dad." Peter says as he turns into ashes in Rocket's hands. "No, Pete..." Rocket says and starts breaking down and falls to his knees. He can't believe what he said..."He called me "dad"..." Rocket says out loud to no one in particular. He always thought Peter as a son he never had, but he didn't know of Peter felt that way. And now he knew, and now he's gone. "What the hell's happening?" Rhodes asks as Cap sees Vision's missing stone. "Oh, god." He sates knowing what's happening.
