GHOSTLY AVENGERS: ENDGAME

Chapter 18: One of the 14,000,605.

The Sanctuary II continues to fire a hailstorm of missiles on the Avengers and their allies, pinning them down. Suddenly, every weapon suddenly stops firing at them and aims at the sky before starting to fire missiles into the sky, confusing everybody.

"What in the world?" Valerie said.

"What's going on?" Sierra asked.

"What the hell is this?" Sam Wilson asked.

"Friday, what are they firing at?" Tony asked.

"Something just entered the upper atmosphere." FRIDAY replied.

Suddenly, a bright streak of light suddenly appear out of the clouds and approaching the Sanctuary II as the ship's cannons had no effect against the light. The light then crashed through the ship's bow and wings, functionally destroying it. Everyone then look to see that the light is no other than Carol.

"Oh, yeah!" Rocket said.

Steve and Danny, along with Sam Manson, watch as Carol proceeds to crash through the Sanctuary II again.

"Who's that?" Sam Manson asked.

"A new friend." Danny said.

Carol then emerge from the Sanctuary II and watch from above as it crashes into the Hudson as a bewildered 2014 Thanos looks on.

"Danvers, we need an assist here." Steve said.

"And like right now." Danny said.

As Scott finally succeeds in activating the Quantum Tunnel, Carol flies down to the ground where she sees Peter Parker holding the Nano Gauntlet nervously.

"Hi, I'm Peter Parker." Peter Parker greeted nervously.

"Hey, Peter Parker. You got something for me?" Carol asked.

Peter Parker gets up and he and Carol noticed a large number of Outriders, Chitauri, Chitauri Gorillas and Sakaarans approaching them, being lead by 2014 Corvus Glaive.

"I don't know how you're gonna get it through all of that." Peter Parker said as he hands Carol the Nano Gauntlet.

Suddenly, Wanda And Brunnhilde arrive to give Carol support.

"Don't worry." Wanda said before Okoye arrived.

"She got help." Okoye said.

Suddenly, Pepper, Mantis, Shuri, Dani, Salzer, Sam Manson, Maddie, Jazz, Sierra, Venus, Victoria, Valerie, Hope, 2014 Gamora and Nebula gather around Carol to give her support. The female heroes then charge to assault 2014 Thanos' army, with Pepper, and Wasp shooting beams of energy, Shuri firing sonic pulses of energy, Dani, Salzer, Sam Manson, Jazz, Victoria and Valerie firing ecto-rays, and 2014 Gamora, Nebula, Maddie, Sierra, Venus, and Okoye using their combat skills, with 2014 Gamora killing a Chitauri Gorilla, Maddie slicing a Outrider with her double-bladed sword and Okoye stabbing and injuring 2014 Corvus Glaive. Up in the air, Wanda use her telekinesis powers to hold off a Leviathan as Brunnhilde uses her sword to slice through another. The support from all the female heroes help Carol takes flight and make a beeline towards the Quantum Tunnel. 2014 Thanos tries to stop Carol, but he is quickly blasted by Pepper, Shuri, Hope, Dani and Salzer, knocking him down. 2014 Thanos immediately gets up to see Carol getting close to the tunnel. He then throws his sword at the van, destroying it, with the explosion sending Carol reeling back and leaving the gauntlet on the ground and unsecured while making Stephen to maintain balance with the water. Tony then sees the gauntlet and makes a attempt to grab but ends up have to wrestle 2014 Thanos, who was also attempting to grab it. 2014 Thanos quickly overpowers Tony. 2014 Thanos was once again prevented from getting the Nano Gauntlet as Thor attacked him with brute force. Thor then tried to get the Nano Gauntlet after exchanging blows but 2014 Thanos grabbed him, only to be grappled against him through the use of both Mjølnir and Stormbreaker. As they both used their strength against each other, Steve joined in to push Stormbreaker into 2014 Thanos' chest while Danny join the fray and wraps his ghostly tail to tried and restrain the Titan further as well as help to push Stormbreaker into 2014 Thano's chest. However, 2014 Thanos headbutts Thor, knocking him down before he toss Steve and Danny down and punch both of them, knocking them unconscious. 2014 Thanos then grabbed the Nano Gauntlet but he was then attacked by Carol, who punch him in the face twice. 2014 Thanos tried to fight back, but Carol blast him with a photon blast. 2014 Thanos then managed to grabbed Carol's arm and tossed her aside before putting on the Nano Gauntlet. As 2014 Thanos was about to snap his fingers, he was restrained by Carol, who grabbed the gauntlet. 2014 Thanos tried to headbutt Carol, but it had no effect. Thinking quickly, 2014 Thanos then pull out the Power Stone, which gave him enough strength to punch Carol out of the battlefield. As that happen, after recovering from his knock out, Tony glance at Stephen, who, visibly shocked, raised one finger up, signaling to him the outcome he saw. Tony then realized why Stephen sacrificed the Time Stone five years ago to save his life and now know what has to be done. As 2014 Thanos puts the Power Stone back into the gauntlet once more, a weakened Tony once again grappled onto 2014 Thanos, but is brushed aside easily. 2014 Thanos smugly put on the gauntlet before he looks at Tony with a evil grin.

"I am inevitable." 2014 Thanos declared.

2014 Thanos then snapped his fingers, but realized there is no effect. 2014 Thanos then look at the gauntlet and realized that the Infinity Stones had been taken out. 2014 Thanos then look at Tony and watches in horror as all six Infinity Stones has been transferred to his Iron Man Armor. Tony bonded all six Infinity Stones onto the knuckles of his hand and felt the energy surging onto his body. Once he had all of the Stones at his disposal, Tony looked over to 2014 Thanos again.

"And I... am... Iron Man." Tony declared.

After taking a deep breath, Tony snaps his fingers and the Infinity Stones activates in a blinding flash of energy. Tony's snap starts to take effect. One Leviathan suddenly turn into dust before it can crush Rocket. The Avengers, including Steve and Danny who had regain consciousness, starts to witness 2014 Thanos' forces, including the Black Order, Chitauri, Chitauri Gorillas, Leviathans, Sakaarans, the Outriders,and even the dropships and the remains of the Sanctuary II started to turn into dust. 2014 Thanos looked upon his adoptive children and his alien army dying in front of his eyes, leading to him to look at Steve and Danny one last time, much to his horror and sadness. Realizing that his fate had already been sealed and that this time, there was no chance of escaping it, 2014 Thanos stood silently before sitting on the ground and watched the sunset solemnly as his allies vanished before his eyes, accepting his defeat with dignity before he faded away into nothingness. Meanwhile, Tony collapsed onto the ground and laid against a mound of wreckage. Rhodey landed by his side and realized in horror that Tony's injuries from the Stones' raw power and gamma radiation were fatal; the right half of Tony's body was charred so badly. Rhodey tried to comfort Tony before Peter Parker rush towards him.

"Mr. Stark? Hey! Mr. Stark. Can you hear me? It's Peter. Hey. We won, Mr. Stark. We won, Mr. Stark. We won! You did it, sir, you did it. I'm sorry. Tony." Peter Parker said before he tearfully cry and was taken away by Pepper.

Pepper then check on her husband.

"Hey." Pepper said.

"Hey, Pep." Tony said slowly as he's dying and placing Pepper's hand on his chest as a final gesture of love to his wife.

"Friday?" Pepper asked.

"Life functions critical." FRIDAY informed.

Tony tried to say something to Pepper but he couldn't.

"Tony? Look at me. We're gonna be okay. You can rest now." Pepper said.

Tony then dies and his arc reactor permanently powers down, leaving Pepper, Peter Parker and Rhodey, with Thor, Steve, Danny and Dani looking on, to weep with his fellow Avengers looking on in sadness before Pepper gave a final kiss. Upon seeing this, Clint then kneel down before Tony out of respect, follow by T'Challa, and Carol. Danny, Dani, Daranak and Salzer and the rest of Team Phantom then took a knee to honor Tony. Peter Quill, Nebula and Brunnhilde then join in to kneel for Tony. Scott, Steve and Stephen then join in the kneeling. 2014 Gamora look on before she leaves the battlefield. Afterwards the rest of the Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy took a knee to honor the legacy of Tony and his righteous sacrifice.
