GHOSTLY AVENGERS: ENDGAME

Chapter 16: Thanos' Return.

Outside the destroyed New Avengers Facility, a tractor beam fired from the Sanctuary II as 2014 Thanos beams himself down to the ground and soon sees 2014 Nebula, who was approaching him.

"Daughter." 2014 Thanos said.

"Yes, Father." 2014 Nebula said.

"So, this is the future. Well done." 2014 Thanos said.

"Thank you, Father. They suspected nothing." 2014 Nebula said as she removes the superficial armor plating she took from her future self and 2014 Thanos puts down his double-edge sword.

"The arrogant never do." 2014 Thanos said as he took his helmet off and sat down. "Go. Find the stones, bring them to me." 2014 Thanos ordered.

"What will you do?" 2014 Nebula asked.

"Wait." 2014 Thanos said.

Meanwhile, on board the Sanctuary II, upon seeing the destruction 2014 Thanos lays down on the New Avengers Facility, 2014 Gamora goes to see Nebula.

"Tell me something. In the future, what happens to you and me?" 2014 Gamora asked.

"I try to kill you. Several times. But eventually, we become friends. We become sisters." Nebula answered honestly.

Processing the information, 2014 Gamora extends her hand to Nebula.

"Come on. We can stop him." 2014 Gamora said which Nebula took her hand to help.

...

Meanwhile, inside the ruins of the facility, Tony finds Steve unconscious and attempts to wake him up.

"Come on, buddy, wake up!" Tony said, patting Steve, which woke him up and gasped. "That's my man." Tony said before he shows Steve the shield. "You lose this again, I'm keeping it."

Tony then heard Danny woke up and looks around before he realized Dani is missing.

"Wait, where's Dani. Where's my sister?" Danny asked, concerned for Dani.

"Don't worry, Danny. She's right there unconscious. She'll be alright." Tony said as he points to Dani, who is unconscious.

"What happen?" Steve asked.

"You mess with time, it tends to mess back. You'll see." Tony replied as he helps Steve up.

Steve, Tony and Danny then went outside the ruins and meet up with Thor, who has been observing 2014 Thanos playing with a piece of rock.

"It can't be." Danny said upon seeing 2014 Thanos.

"What's he been doing?" Tony asked.

"Absolutely nothing." Thor replied.

"Where are the stones?" Steve asked.

"Somewhere under all this. All I know is he doesn't have 'em." Tony replied.

"So, we keep it that way." Steve said.

"You know it's a trap, right?" Thor asked.

"Yeah. I don't much care." Tony replied.

"I've been through many traps before. I don't care by this point." Danny said.

"Good. Just as long as we're all in agreement." Thor said as his eyes glow.

Thor then summoned a bolt of lightning and dons his battle gear, as well as summoning both Mjølnir and Stormbreaker.

"Let's kill him properly this time." Thor said.

Tony, Steve, Danny and Thor then start to approach 2014 Thanos to confront him, which he noticed the four.

"You could not live with your own failure. Where did that bring you? Back to me." 2014 Thanos said as the four Avengers approach him. "I thought by eliminating half of life, the other half would thrive. But you've shown me that's impossible. And as long as there are those that remember what was, there will always be those that are unable to accept what can be. They will resist."
