"We don't have the Tesseract. It was destroyed on Asgard." Thor says coughing, trying to catch his breath.

Loki glances at Thor like he knows something that Thor doesn't know. Loki's sighs as he lifts his right hand into the air and the Tesseract reveals itself.

"You really are the worst, brother." Thor says.

"I assure you, brother, the Sun will shine on us again." Loki replies While holding the Tesseract out to Thanos as he advances towards Loki.

"Your optimism is misplaced, Asgardian." Thanos says.

"Well, for one thing: I'm not Asgardian. And for another... We have a Hulk." Loki replies before diving out of the way to make room for Hulk to emerge.

Punches are exchanged and Thanos is forced into the wall of the ship. As the black dwarf attempts to intervene Ebony Maw stops him from doing so.

"Let him have his fun." Maw says.

In a matter of seconds Thanos indefinitely defeats Hulk and slams him into the ground. Thor tries to jump in and help but he wasn't quick enough... Ebony Maw binds him to the ground using pieces of scrap metal from the destroyed ship.

Having seen enough Heimdall who laid half slain on the ground thought about what he could do to help the situation and all though he knew every foreseeable risk attached to his decision he decided it was final.

"Allfathers... let the dark magic flow through me one last... time." Heimdall whispered trying to summon the Bifrost portal towards Bruce.

Heimdall was successful in summoning the Bifrost and all in one quick motion the Bifrost carries Bruce away...that being his one way ticket back down to the Earth.

"That was a mistake." Thanos says right before stabbing Heimdall through the heart.

"NO!!! You're going to die for that!" Thor shouts before having Ebony Maw sealing his mouth shut with more ship scraps.

"Shhhh...." The space creature whispers as he gets down on one knee Holding the Tesseract out to Thanos.

"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."

Right before Thor's eye, Thanos crushes the Tesseract into pieces revealing the Space Stone before he goes to attach it to his gauntlet.

"There are two more Stones on Earth. Find them, my children, and bring them to me on Titan." Thanos demanded.

"Father, we will not fail you." Replied one of his other henchmen.

"If I might, interject..." Loki interrupted as he Emerged from a separate section of the ship. "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..."

"I consider experience, experience." Loki replies back in a snarky tone. Almighty Thanos. I, Loki, Prince of Asgard...Odinson..." he adds eyeing his brother Thor. Thor squints and notices a dagger in Loki's hand.
