So Much Stardust ❘ Rocket Raccoon

[33]

Chapter Thirty-Three

So, before you go
Was there something I could've said
To make your heart beat better?
If only I'd have known
you had a storm to weather
So, before you go
Was there something I could've said
To make it all stop hurting?
It kills me how your mind can
make you feel so worthless
So, before you go
Lewis Capaldi; Before You Go

"Titan (Continued)"

Spiderman jumped up and dove for Mantis. He grabbed her in midair. As the two fell six metal legs sprouted from the back of his suit steadying them to the ground.

Thanos reached out and tugged on the orange tendrils Dr. Strange still held around him. The move caused the middle-aged human man to fly backward.

Peter Quill nodded to Drax, Beth, and Nebula. The group of four charged at Thanos only to be stopped and brought down by a wave of purple energy from the Power Stone. They were all rendered unconscious.

Tony flew towards the purple Titan blasting only to be thrown back with a punch.

Iron Man righted his flight and changed his arm into a sword-like weapon that glowed blue.

Before he could hit Thanos head-butted him.

Thanos turned to look up at the moon visible in the sky even though the sun was still shown in the west.

He reached up his gauntlet hand and concentrated. Purple light began to form around the moon.

Effortlessly, Thanos sent the moon hurling at Tony.

Without a second thought, Tony flew up to catch the moon. The weight of the large rock appeared to be too much for the human man.

The unconscious four drifted through the pieces of the planet Thanos had crumbled with the force of the moon.

"I got you," Spiderman said to Mantis as he webbed her.

The teenager did his best to swing through the pieces on webs. He grabbed each of them and strung them up with webs to keep them from falling to their doom.

When the teen grabbed Beth he said, "Got the talking badger."

He grabbed Drax.

"I got you, sorry I can't remember anyone's names." Peter Parker added.

Dr. Strange flew down to meet Thanos. The doctor sent a blast of orange energy towards the Titan.

Thanos countered it with his own blast of purple energy.

Before it could hit Dr. Strange the human created a shield sending the blast back at Thanos.

The purple being used his gauntlet to consume the energy. He sent it flying once more at Dr. Strange.

With another round of quick thinking the middle-aged human was able to turn the blast into a swarm of green butterflies.

Not wanting to give Thanos another chance to attack, Dr. Strange many hundreds of copies of himself.

Each copy wrapped the Titan in long ropes of orange energy.

Thanos activated the gauntlet again. Purple energy swirled and broke the hold Dr. Strange and his copies had on him.

The copies dissipated leaving only the real Dr. Strange. Thanos used his power to bring the human man to him. The Titan wrapped a large hand around the doctor's throat.

"You're full of tricks wizard" he smirked.

Thanos' gaze was fixed on the amulet around Dr. Strange's neck, "But you never once used your greatest weapon."
