Thor's thunderous battle cry echoes across the battlefield once again, a signal for the chaos to begin. The clash between the Avengers and Thanos' forces explodes into action, and within moments, the entire field becomes a warzone of epic proportions.

Milana, standing at the heart of it all, feels a surge of confidence that wasn't there five years ago. She is no longer the uncertain warrior she once was—she's prepared now, more powerful than ever before. The protection spell she cast over her unborn child hums with magic, surrounding her like an invisible shield. With that assurance, she unleashes her full power without fear, her rage fueling every move.

With a burst of violet energy from her hands, she blasts through a wave of Thanos' minions, sending them flying backward in a brilliant explosion of light. Her power has grown exponentially—she's no longer just a fighter but now a force of nature. She moves with the grace of a seasoned warrior, her combat skills finely honed. Her fists glow with crackling energy as she strikes down enemies, her kicks fueled by the rage she's held in for years. Minions fall before her in waves, unable to withstand her overwhelming power.

With a flick of her hand, Milana turns invisible, slipping between the enemy ranks undetected. When she reappears, she does so with a ferocious blast of energy, sending entire squads of Thanos' forces flying in every direction. Her invisibility makes her a ghost on the battlefield, impossible to track as she wreaks havoc. One after another, the minions fall, unable to stop the relentless onslaught.

Her eyes burn with intensity, and her anger is palpable. When Doctor Strange had told her it had been five years since the Snap, Milana had been furious. She had been robbed of time—time with Steve, time with the life they were supposed to have together. Steve had been robbed of the precious moments with her and their unborn child. The injustice of it all fuels her, driving her every strike, her every blast.

She fires another blast, taking down a Chitauri soldier in the air. The violet glow from her hands intensifies, and she hurls waves of energy at anything in her path. Minions scatter before her, unable to stand against the sheer force of her power.

In one fluid motion, Milana summons a massive energy wave that decimates an entire line of Thanos' forces. She is untouchable, her rage and sorrow manifesting into raw, devastating power that obliterates everything in her way. The battlefield around her becomes a whirlwind of destruction, the violet energy surrounding her lighting up the skies.

Meanwhile, Steve is deep in the fight, his half-broken shield in one hand and Mjolnir in the other, smashing through enemies left and right. Amidst the chaos, Clint's voice crackles through his comm.

"Cap!" Clint yells. "What do you want me to do with these stones?"

Steve doesn't miss a beat, his shield slamming into a minion as he spins to respond. "Get them as far away as possible!" he shouts over the noise, already turning back into the fight.

But before Clint can act, Bruce cuts in through the comm. "No, wait! We need to get them back to where they came from!"

Steve pauses, dodging a blow as he processes Bruce's words. He begins to respond, "Thanos blew up the time machine!" but before he can finish, Scott cuts in.

"Uh, guys," Scott says, panting slightly from the exertion, "I might have a way."

Steve blocks another incoming attack and hurls Mjolnir at a group of Outriders, sending them crashing into the ground. He quickly presses his comm when he hears a familiar jingle ripping through the battlefield. " Does anyone see an ugly brown van around here somewhere?"

From above, Milana's voice cuts in, her tone dry as she soars through the battlefield, wiping out another wave of enemies with a single blast. "Yeah, but you're not going to like where it's parked."
