The ride remained steady for some time as they merely let the ship glide through space. There was no way of controlling it as it rerouted its course, so they merely sat there and waited. When the ship began to spin through the air and Issac felt his stomach lurch once again, he knew they were getting close without even having to look at the sorry excuse for a screen in front of them.

"I think we're here." Strange mumbled as land began to come into view.

Tony quickly moved around to one of the large devices while he directed Peter to slot his hand into the other. The Maw was much larger than an average man, so it was going to take two of them to be able to steer the ship.

"I don't think this rig has a self park function. This was meant for one big guy so we gotta move it at the same time, understand?" Tony urged Peter. They really didn't have the time for a lesson on how to operate this thing.

"We might uh- wanna turn!" Peter spoke up as they began quickly descending towards a ruined structure half buried within the Earth of the mysterious planet. "Turn, turn, turn!!"

"Ah shit-" Issac quickly raised his hands, creating a large barrier around the four of them while Strange used his own abilities to fortify it. Even with both of them reinforcing the barrier, the impact of them hitting the ground and the ship breaking into three pieces was enough to send them flying in various directions.

Issac groaned as he pushed himself up, wincing at the throbbing pain on the side of his skull. He was vaguely aware that he was bleeding, but was too out of it to really process it at the moment.

"You okay?" Tony was at his side, grabbing his arm and pulling him to his feet as he scanned the other for any serious injuries.

Issac closed his eyes, letting out a heavy sigh.

"Yeah." He mumbled, the fogginess in his mind clearing up after a moment. He reached up, wiping away the blood that had dripped from the small cut on his forehead. It was small, probably wouldn't even need stitches.

"That was close." Strange panted as he approached them, looking around at what was left of the ship.

"I owe you guys one." Tony mumbled.

Peter suddenly lowered himself down from the ceiling on a web, quite literally like a spider.

"I just wanna say- if aliens come and start laying eggs inside my chest and I eat one of you- I'm sorry."

Issac raised an eyebrow, trying to hide his amusement.

"At least he's apologizing."

Tony just shook his head, pointing at Peter's hovering form.

"I do not want another single pop culture reference from you for the rest of this trip. Do you understand?" He spoke, sounding like a stern parent.

Peter just pointed behind him, clearly unbothered.

"I'm trying to say that something is coming."

Issac looked down as a metal orb rolled between the three of them.

"Shit-" He cursed, failing to create a barrier in time to protect them from the sudden explosion. He hit the metal flooring hard, coughing as the wind had roughly been knocked out of him. Rolling onto his stomach, he looked up at the figures that barreled in through the broken entryway, weapons raised. One of them shouted Thanos' name and threw something at Stephen, which he blocked with ease.

Issac pushed himself up onto his knees before sending out a shockwave to knock everyone away from each other. A few of them tumbled into each other while others merely hit the ground, unsure of what exactly just happened. It wasn't enough to injure anybody, but it was enough of a force to knock them away.
