Quill flies over to join the others, stands in front of Thanos, tauntingly
"I thought you'd be harder to catch. For the record, this was my plan. Not so strong now, huh? Where is Gamora?" Quill asks
"My Gamora...?"
"No, bull-shit. Where is she?"
"He is in anguish.He... he mourns."
"What does this monster have to mourn?" Drax asked
"Gamora." Nebula answered
"What?" Quill asked shocked
"He took her to Vormir. He came back with the Soul Stone... but she didn't."
"Okay, Quill, you gotta cool it right now, you understand?" Tony says. Stas is finally able to stand again. She looks down now at her suit. It's now half red half black looking like she got hit by lightning. She looks up to Quill and begins running to him, Quill slowly turns to Thanos,
"Don't, don't, don't engage, we've almost got this off!" Tony yelled
"Tell me she's lying. Asshole! Tell me you didn't do it!" Quill yells enraged
"I... had... to."
"No, you didn't...! No, you didn't...!" Quill yells again. He then snaps and starts pistol-whipping Thanos thrice in the face, causing Mantis to let go in pain.
"No, you didn't!"
"Quill!" Stas yells running over "Stop!" he turns to her still holding the gun to Thanos's head.
"It's coming! It's coming! It's coming! I got it! I got it.... !" Peter yelled. Thanos wakes completely, now well and truly furious. He head-butts Mantis, grabbing the cuff of the gauntlet just as it is sliding off his hand, causing Spider-Man to stumble back, and then throwing Mantis away off his shoulders. Peter looks at Mantis with far too much air under her
"Oh, God!" He jumps and wraps his arms and legs around her, extending his spider legs to form a roll cage for a safe landing. Thanos kicks Drax off his right leg and into Nebula and Star-Lord, knocking them down. He yanks on the Crimson Bands holding his right hand to throw Doctor Strange far away, and swats away Iron Man and his repulsor shots. The remaining Guardians jump up and charge him again, but he fires a pulse of indigo energy at them that knocks the three of them completely unconscious. Stas stands looking at the action. Iron Man zooms back in, his nanite arm cannon manifested, and is head-butted to the ground. Thanos looks at him for a beat, then raises the gauntlet towards Titan's moon. Iron Man stares, aghast. Thanos uses a combination of the Power and Space Stones to shatter the moon's surface, then bring the debris down on the field of battle at speed. Iron Man powers out of the way but is caught by a chunk of moon about the size of a baseball field, slamming him into the ground. The Guardians go sailing into the air from the rebound.
Before Thanos can counterattack again, Doctor Strange levitates and invokes the Images of Ikonn, giving him arms like a Hindu deity before dozens of Strange replications rush away, forming a circular wall around a snarling Thanos. They cast magical cords, wrapping around Thanos' torso, arms and hands; he struggles to close his gauntleted fist, and uses the Soul and Power Stones to discover the real Doctor Strange among the many copies, blowing the duplicates away and sending the singular Doctor Strange reeling. Reality and Space pull Doctor Strange forward, Thanos grasping him by the throat once in range. Doctor Strange grabs futilely at Thanos' hand.
"You're full of tricks, wizard." Thanos says. Stas turns quickly to see Thanos reach for the time stone
"No!" Stas screams running towards Strange. But it's too late. He snaps the Eye off its chain
