[The Guardians and Avengers are dealing with the gravitic aftermath of dumping a large chunk of moon onto an unstable planet's surface. The unconscious Guardians are flying upwards uncontrollably, moon-chunks are still making fiery ballistic inbounds, and random debris and massive rocks are floating in any possible direction. Spider-Man is well-equipped to handle this physically, even if it is tiring him out emotionally.]
Peter Parker: [webs mantis] I got you! I got you! [snags Drax, securing both of them to something not moving] I'm sorry I can't remember anybody's names! [reels in Star-Lord]
Despite the tense and sad feeling in the hall, a few people chuckle.
[The Cloak of Levitation sets Doctor Strange down on a relatively stable outcrop as Thanos extricates himself from the rubble. The Sorcerer Supreme makes a few passes with his hands, producing the familiar golden magic filigree circles, and slams his hands down on the rock before him, invoking the Seven Suns of Cinnibus as a lightning-like effect of immense heat jumping from rock to rock until it reaches Thanos, sending him flying — but he makes use of the erratic gravity to keep control and fire back a blast from the Power Stone.]
[Thanos creates a black hole with the Space Stone, volleying it back at Strange. Just in time, Strange raises a shield and changes that dark energy into a swarm of aqua butterflies which return to their master.]
[Before Thanos can counterattack again, Strange levitates and invokes the Images of Ikonn, giving him arms like a Hindu deity before dozens of Strange replicas rush away, forming a circular wall around a snarling Thanos. They call cast magical cords, wrapping around Thanos's torso, arms, and hands; he struggles to close his gauntleted fist, and uses the Soul and Power Stones to discover the real Strange among the many copies, blowing the duplicates away and sending that singular Strange reeling. Reality and Space pull Strange forward, Thanos grasping him by the throat once in range. Strange grabs futility at Thanos' hand.]
Many magicals look impressed and a few are surprised at Strange's power.
Thanos: You're full of tricks, wizard. [Thanos reaches for the Eye of Agamotto, he snaps the eye off its chain] Yet you never once used your greatest weapon. [he crushes it in his bare hand. He throws Strange hard enough that Strange's head hits a stone and he passes out.]
[Almost simultaneously, a red and gold device slaps into the palm of the Infinity Gauntlet, bracing that fingers open; and a red and gold Avenger makes a fast and hard entrance.]
Tony Stark: [sounding just about done with the Titan] You throw another moon at me, and I'm gonna lose it.
Many laugh. "I would lose it too," Fred agrees.
Thanos: Stark.
Tony Stark: You know me?
Thanos: I do. You're not the only one cursed with knowledge.
Tony Stark: My only curse is you. [small rockets pop out of Iron Man's back and launch at Thanos]
Thanos: Come on!
[The rockets all explode on target, momentarily shrouding Thanos in smoke. before it clears, Iron Man piledrives into Thanos horizontally, using his single super-jet booy configuration. As he bounces off, he flips and sticks his landing, immediately reconfiguring his boots into ground claps for stability and his gloves into rocket-driven battering rams, punching Thanos into a ruined wall behind him.]
[Thanos shakes it off quickly, reaches forward, and tears Iron Man's helmet off, revealing Tony's surprised expression before the suit recovers automatically and re-forms his head protection. The Titan makes use of the fractional delay and punches back hard, sending Iron Man sliding meters away, giving Thanos time to rip the brace device off the gauntlet. He immediately uses the Power Stone to stream furiously lambent energy at his opponent, who forms a shield to kneel behind just as instantly, getting pushed back even further by the incredible force.]
[Iron Man slides out from behind his shield, letting the angled energy push him away for a faster start, and whips back to Thanos full thrusters; he kicks at the Titan with his left foot, turning the boot into a ground clamp at the same time to pin the gauntlet, and keep twisting while his left glove becomes a ram again, slamming into Thanos's face, cutting his cheek.]
Thanos: [panting] All that for a drop of blood.
"What?" and "No!" echo throughout the hall.
[He smiles briefly and punches Iron Man, sending him pinwheeling, then starts beating him with his fists. Tony attempts to block the blows with his forearms, but Thanos is relentless, picking him up by the helmet and blasting his midsection with the Power Stone. The gaps in nanite coverage are now gaping, as the armor loses the ability to recover from the intensity and extent of the damage. Iron Man lands hard from the Power blast, struggles to one knee, and fires his right-hand repulsor at the inexorable Thanos; the beam is easily deflected by the gauntlet. He gets to both feet as the suit tries to complete repairs, adding the beam from his left hand as well. Thanos walks right up to him and backhands the incomplete helmet completely off Tony's head. He crosses his arms to block a blow from Thanos's gauntlet and has his left hand caught over his head. In desperation, he forms what's left of his right glove into a shortsword, which is also easily caught by Thanos, snapping it off clean and driving it through Iron Man's left side. The fight is over.]
Gabrielle groans and subconsciously rubs the same spot. "I've been stabbed there before," she says.
"I've been shot there before," Nat says, slightly accusingly. Bucky just shrugs.
[Thanos walks Iron Man back until he sits, and places the gauntlet almost comfortingly on Tony's head.]
Thanos: You have my respect, Stark. When I'm done, half of humanity will still be alive. [he lets go, straightens, and steps back] I hope they remember you.
[Iron Man's just a little distracted with the pain, blood drooling out of his mouth, and compromised breathing.]
[Thanos raises the gauntlet, closing his fist, all four Stones glowing]
Strange: Stop! [sitting up and sounding entirely damaged] Spare his life... and I will give you the Stone.
"NO!" everyone in the hall yells.
Thanos: No tricks. [Strange shakes his head as Thanos points all four Stones at him instead]
Tony Stark: Don't...!
[Strange reaches up and plucks the Time Stone out of its hiding place in the stars. He opens his hand, the scars on his fingers and their inherent trembling particularly obvious now, and the Stone floats to Thanos's bare hand. Strange watches intently, as he takes the Stone and drops it into the thumbe setting, the energy pulse making the Titan wince.]
Thanos: One to go. [an energy blast hits the gauntlet tight in the empty Mind Stone setting, and Thanos grimaces in surprise]
Peter Quill: [screaming in incoherent rage, helmet up, firing with both hands and flying straight for Thanos]
[Thanos doesn't even bother responding to the assault — he just leaves. Star-Lord flies through where Thanos had been and crashes, rolling several times.]
Peter Quill: [standing and dehelmeting] Where is he?!
[Iron Man stitched up his stab wound as well as he can with his suit functions; he has no breath for answers]
Peter Quill: [now fearful instead of furious] Did we just lose?
"He's so close," Hermione says. "Too close." Everyone nods in agreement.
Tony Stark: [to Strange, sadly, who has given the Time Stone to Thanos] Why would you do that?
Strange: We're in the Endgame now.

Tbh one of the most iconic title drops of all time
Also, I can't find a good TFATWS script. It will probably take a while for me to find one.
There is one more part. It's rough.
Fix your posture and drink some water!
