chapter seven

,,Well, well, well, who do we have here." Emily saw a big purple man with a golden armour walking to the room from one gear.

Emily already knew that it was Thanos. She was ready to fight at every second.

,,I believe that you have something that I want."

,,To destroy the world." Stephen added, he was standing next to Emily also ready to fight.

Thanos gave him an angry look. ,,I want that and don't care if someone so meaningless stands on my way." His voice was threatening.

,,Well, then it's good that I brought company." Stephen looked at Emily.

,,You won't get that, no way." Emily said, trying to sound as dangerous as possible.

Suddenly, she heard grunts and looked next to her where Stephen had pressed down by two enormous creatures. Emily was scared now because he couldn't move at all and she didn't know how strong Thanos really was. She stepped back.

,,Now, give me the Time Stone or I'll kill him." His voice was deep and slow.

Emily swallowed loudly. No. She shook her head. Remember what Doctor said. He uses your feelings to get you give him the stone. No, these won't work on me. Nope.

Emily shook her head. ,,No."

,,No?" Thanos asked, eyebrows rising. ,,Okay." He nodded at creatures and one of them put his sharp claw on Stephen's throat. The doctor wanted to move but couldn't.

,,Wait!" Emily yelled. The creature stopped, Thanos raised his eyebrows and Stephen looked at Emily angrily. ,,Wait..." Emily glanced at the Soul Stone. It was a few inches away from her and seemed that everyone had forgotten it. She thought quickly.

,,Catch!" She yelled and pretended to pull the necklace off and throw it in the air. Thanos winced and jumped towards it, he obviously didn't understand the trick yet. Emily dove towards the stone and put it quickly into her pocket. She created a whip and turned towards Thanos who was looking for the necklace.

Then, he straightened and looked at Emily angrily. The woman saw anger in his eyes. ,,Clever." He said. ,,But-" He walked closer to Stephen who was still held in place by two creatures. ,,you forgot him." He smiled evilly.

Emily wanted to hit herself. How could she forgot Stephen?

The creature put his claw on Stephen's neck again and this time, Emily didn't know what to do. They needed a miracle to escape.

Suddenly, two shots shot quickly trough two creatures and they fell on the floor. Thanos turned around and Emily smiled.

It was Loki.

He was on the ship and pointing the gun at Thanos now.

,,Leave." He said.

A second after that, one creature, what should've been dead, jumped up and grabbed Loki's shoulders and pulled him over the hatchway.

,,Loki!" Emily screamed and wanted to follow them but was pulled down by another creature. Where did those things came from?

,,Thanos!" Emily heard Stephen yell and saw two figures running somewhere but she didn't have time to think about it because the creature put its limb into Emily's jeans pocket and wanted to grab the Soul Stone. Emily wanted to push him away but that thing was too heavy. She created a circle and tried to slice the creature but it didn't stay in place and Emily was scared to hurt herself accidentally. The circle disappeared and Emily punched the thing...somewhere. It took its limb out of the pocket and wanted to punch her back. Then, a shot and the creature flew off her.
