Star Wars: Avenging Rebels

Prologue

Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit.

He was here.

Thanos.

I saw his big figure, his purple skin. And the Infinity Gauntlet on his hand. With all but one stone on it.

"Wanda come on," I begged, "you have to do it!"

"I don't-"

"Wanda, you must," Vision pleaded, on his knees in front of Wanda.

"He's coming!" I shouted.

"Hold him off," Wanda ordered, her hands raised and turning red.

I nodded.

"You'll be okay," I said, placing my hand on her shoulder.

Then I began my attack.

I summoned some of my elemental animals: a water shark, a fire tiger, and earth horse, an ice fox, and a lightning wolf. All animals, but the wolf, surged forward and attacked.

The shark swam and surrounded Thanos's head in water, the fox freezing it. The horse summoned vines and wrapped them around Thanos's legs. The tiger breathed its flames onto the Gauntlet. It wasn't hot enough to melt it, but when the flames dissipated, the fox froze the Gauntlet.

I could hear the loud crack! as the hot metal met ice.

But then Thanos closed his fist, and my animals disappeared, save for the wolf. During this time, I had slipped into the shadows.

My wolf paced between Thanos, and the Mind Stone. Every time Thanos took a step closer, a small bolt of lightning would hit the earth in front of him, and he would step back.

I saw Thanos about to close his fist again, so, I froze his hand in a block of ice. I summoned more vines to hold him in place.

"You strong, little princess," Thanos said. "But I am stronger."

Thanos lunged forward, ripping the vines that held him in place. The wolf lashed out with its lightning bolts, and Thanos blocked it with his frozen hand.

Causing the ice to shatter.

Thanos closed his fist, and I flew backwards and hit a tree. My vision began to swim, but I held on. My wolf crackled dangerously, but with another closing of his fist, the wolf vanished.

"Wanda," I croaked.

As if she heard me, she turned and saw Thanos lumbering closer. She took one hand and began pushing Thanos back with her power.

Finally, the Mind Stone exploded, and Vision along with it. A pulse of power pushed against me, but I clung to consciousness.

I struggled to get up as I saw Thanos close his fist, and reverse time. The pulse of power tried to send me back onto my face, but I managed to stay up.

Thanos pushed Wanda aside, and took ahold of the Mind Stone in Vision's forehead. He ripped it out of the android, who turned stone gray, and was dropped to the ground.

Placing the Stone onto the Gauntlet, I could feel the power, that Thanos now possessed.

I limped closer, lightning crackling from my hands.

"Still standing, princess?" Thanos asked, turning to look at me.

Just then, a bolt of lightning hit Thanos square on. I looked up, to see where it had come from.

Thor, my adoptive father, was high in the air, with a hammer-axe being flung towards Thanos. Thanos got up and tried to stop the flying weapon with the Gauntlet's power, but the weapon kept moving.

It hit Thanos in the chest, and dad came flying after it. I limped towards Wanda, and collapsed next to her. I grabbed a hold of her shoulders, and Wanda fell against me, sobbing.

Then I heard it. The snap of the Gauntlet's fingers.

Shit.

He won.

One moment, Wanda was hugging me, sobbing, then she was ash.

"Wanda?!" I cried out. I looked at dad, ashes falling from my hands. Then a funny feeling washed over me.

"Dad?" I asked. He turned, and a panicked look came over his features.

"ALVA!"

I blacked out.
