Chapter 9: Titan

Using the gauntlet Thanos transports himself to Titan, the space stone creating the familiar clouded portal around him. Thanos looks around at his planet. One previously full of so much life, now barren.

"Oh, you're much more of a Thanos" Strange speaks up, alerting Thanos of his presence. The rest of the group remain hidden. Thanos looks up at him. Strange sits no the rubble of steps.

"I take it the Maw is dead. This day extracts a heavy toll. Still, he accomplished his mission" Thanos says, looking to the eye of Agamotto on strange's chest where the time stone is stored.

"You may regret that. He brought you face-to-face with the Master of the Mystic Arts" Strange says.

"And where do you think he brought you?" Thanos inquires, walking closer to strange. Star-Lord is nearby, hiding behind wreckage with his weapon ready, and Spiderman is above the structure where Strange sits.

"Let me guess. Your home?"

Thanos, Smiling reminiscently says, "It was. And it was beautiful" The titan uses the Reality Stone to show Strange Titan before it was destroyed. The currently brown and bland planet shows the life it previously had, ships floating in the atmosphere people rushing about a city centre with a beautiful a fountain. Fantastic well crafted buildings. "Titan was like most planets. Too many mouths, and not enough to go around. And when we faced extinction, I offered a solution"

"Genocide"

"But at random, dispassionate, fair to rich and poor alike. They called me a madman. And what I predicted came to pass" The illusion fades into the true state of Titan

"Congratulations. You're a prophet" Strange says unimpressed.

"I'm a survivor"

"Who wants to murder trillions"

"With all six stones, I could simply snap my fingers, and they would all cease to exist. I call that...Mercy" thanos says, snapping his fingers as he speaks

"And then what?" Strange asks as he stands

"I finally rest...And watch the sun rise on a grateful universe. The hardest choices require the strongest wills"

"I think you'll find our will" strange begins, Using his hand motions to bring forth his orange magic, "equal to yours"

"Our?" He looks up in time to a see a chunk of wreckage coming down on him, pushed by tony. Thanos tries to use the Power to stop it, but is too late

Iron man flies in, saying "Piece of cake, Quill"

Quill flies in from the other side "yeah, if your goal was to piss him off" The wreckage on top of Thanos erupts, the pieces glowing with purple, Thanos shouts with the effort then using the reality stone to turn the bits of rubble into birds that chitter and fly away slamming into Tony. Spiderman webs his eyes, and swings in the kick him in the face. Thanos bats his away, drax slides in hitting Thanos' legs, him and strange attack Thanos, strange uses an orange balde he created from his magic. Thanos stops it with his hand, and tears the web from his eyes. He advances on Strange, and kicks him just as Strange summons a shield, absorbing the force of his blow, but knocking him back. Star-Lord shoots Thanos from behind, and Thanos uses the Power Stone to shoot balls on energy at Star-Lord while he advances by the steps Strange formed in the air, and places a electric mine on his back. He turns to Quill, as he disengages his helmet, dives backward into a portal, flipping him off.

"Boom!" Star lord shouts as the bomb explodes. Thanos tries to use the Space Stone to pull Quill back but the explosion knocks him

Strange whispers To the Cloak of Levitation "Don't let him close his fist" The Cloak closes around Thanos' fist, and the mine on his back goes off. Spiderman appears on his right from a portal
