The skies were filled with streaks of light—missiles, at least a hundred of them, launched from different ships and all aimed directly at the compound. My heart pounded as I realized the sheer scale of the destruction headed our way.

Every fiber of my being screamed for action, to end the threat in an instant, but the wisdom of the Eternals whispered caution in my mind.  I could feel the constraints now woven into the very essence of my being. The Unity of the Eternals had come at a cost—binding me with restrictions that ensured peace and balance across the universe. The raw, unbridled power I once wielded had been reshaped, channeled into something greater, yet more complex.

I focused on the power within me, the familiar surge of energy coursing through my veins, each stone humming with its unique vibration. The Reality Stone. Its red hue flared to life as I centered my thoughts on it, my vision narrowing to the incoming threat. I took a deep breath, feeling the stone's energy pulse in time with my heartbeat. With a single, deliberate motion, I released a wave of power, directing it toward the missiles. The air shimmered as the blast expanded outward, enveloping each missile in its path.

The transformation was instant. One by one, the missiles disintegrated, their destructive potential dissolving into harmless particles of dust. The sky, once filled with impending doom, now rained soft, golden sand, falling like snow in a surreal, almost peaceful descent. I exhaled, a small sense of relief washing over me. It had worked.

But there was no time to savor the moment. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw two figures cutting through the sky toward me—Vision and Carol, their expressions a mixture of urgency and determination. They reached my side in seconds.

"Y/N!" Carol shouted over the wind, her voice tinged with both relief and confusion. She was trying to piece together what was happening, but there was no time for explanations.

"I promise to explain it all afterward," I said quickly, pointing toward the horizon where Thanos's forces loomed. "Thanos is back."

Carol's eyes narrowed, her jaw tightening with resolve as she took in the massive army before us. "Let's get to work," she said, her tone all business as Vision nodded.

We lunged forward in unison, our combined speed leaving the ground far below us as we headed straight for the ships. The air crackled with energy, the tension of battle thrumming through every fiber of my being. But just as we closed the distance, a new threat emerged from the atmosphere.

Leviathans descended with a roar, their monstrous forms casting long, terrifying shadows across the city. The sheer number of them was overwhelming, their massive bodies blotting out the sky as they prepared to strike.

"Vision, we can't let them attack the city," I said, my voice laced with urgency as I stared at the overwhelming sight before us. The sheer scale of the battle threatened to paralyze me, but I shook off the fear, knowing there was too much at stake.
