Ch. 46 Thanos' Arrival

~Y/n pov ~

Dr. Strange sat on crumbled plaza steps and looked up due to the new arrival, "Oh, yeah, you're much more of a 'Thanos.'.  "

"I take it the Maw is dead. This day extracts a heavy toll. Still, he accomplished his mission." Thanos responds ignoring his comment.

"You may regret that." Dr. Strange smirked, "He brought you face-to-face with the Master of the Mystic Arts."

Thanos' expression didn't change, "And where do you think he brought you?"

Star-Lord crouched behind wreckage with his weapon ready, behind Thanos and to his left; Peter peeks from above and behind Dr. Strange.

" Let me guess. Your home?" Dr. Strange asked.

Thanos smiled reminiscently," It was. And it was beautiful. ", we then saw this vision of Titan created by the time stone, "Titan was like most planets. Too many mouths, and not enough to go around. And when we faced extinction, I offered a solution."

"Genocide."

"But at random, dispassionate, fair to rich and poor alike. They called me a madman. And what I predicted came to pass.",the illusion faded.

"Congratulations. You're a prophet." Dr. Strange said sarcastically.

"I'm a survivor."

"Who wants to murder trillions."

"With all six stones, I could simply snap my fingers, and they would all cease to exist. I call that... mercy."

Dr. Strange suddenly stands, "And then what?"

Thanos smiled sadly, "I finally rest... and watch the sun rise on a grateful universe. The hardest choices require the strongest wills."

" I think... you'll find... our will... equal to yours." Dr. Strange got in a fighting pose.

" Ours?" Thanos looks up to a see a chunk of wreckage descending rapidly on him, too rapidly to react, he is subsequently crushed by it.

Tony flew in," Piece of cake, Quill."

" Yeah, if your goal was to piss him off!" Quill retaliated.

The wreckage on top of Thanos erupts in purple, as he bellows in rage. He turns the hovering fragments into a flock of bats with the Reality Stone and swarms Tony with them, driving him back through the ruins.

Peter webs his eyes, and swings in to kick him in the face at the same time that I send waves of fire to try and burn him to a crisp but it seemingly has no effect.

Dr. Strange jumps through a portal and summons a sword of golden energy, dueling with Thanos while Drax attacks similarly on his other side. Thanos punches Drax through a ruined wall, then shatters the blade with one hand and tears the web from his eyes. He advances on Dr. Strange and kicks at him, but Strange's shield absorbs the damage and the Cloak lifts him free of the ground.

Star-Lord has been making his way back on the ground, and shoots Thanos from behind. Thanos uses the Power Stone to shoot balls of energy at Star-Lord while Star-Lord leaps towards Thanos using magical platforms thrown in his path by Dr. Strange, the last one placed above Thanos' head so Star-Lord can flip over him and slap a mine on Thanos' back. Star-Lord sticks his landing, he disengages his helmet, flips Thanos a bird and falls backward into a portal.

"Boom!" Quill exclaims.

The explosion knocks Thanos to his knees and dazes him briefly.

" Do not let him close his fist." Dr. Strange instructs his cape, the Cloak flies off and wraps itself tightly around Thanos' armored hand, who starts tugging at this unexpected wrapping.

Doctor Strange starts throwing portals everywhere. Peter leapt through one on Thanos' left

" Magic!" Peter yelled as we punched Thanos in the head and vanished through a portal to the lower right before reappearing above Thanos, "More magic!"  we yanked Thanos' head down hard, then leapt into a portal in front of him. We leapt through another portal high and behind Thanos, "Magic with a kick!" Peter delivers a flying kick and fell feet-first into an exit, then appears on his right, "Magic with a--"

Before he can finish Thanos turns around and smacks us away like flies, putting his hands round mine and Peter's necks.

"Insects!" Thanos yelled.

He then threw us at Dr. Strange, knocking him down. Thanos finally tears the Cloak away and is then promptly surrounded by fiery explosions as Tony bombards him.

He sucks all the flame into the gauntlet with the Power Stone and fires it in a stream at Tony , hitting him dead on and sending him far away, plowing through a massive fallen machine.

Peter leapt from behind, more conventionally this time, while Thanos concentrates his fire on Tony , webs the gauntlet and drops down in front of him, pulling hard, but Thanos yanks on the web-line, pulling the much lighter teenager towards him, and punching him on his way past. He tears the webbing free of the gauntlet just in time for a small spaceship to attempt to crash-land on him.

I quickly ran over to Peter and kneel beside him as he struggled to get up.

The ship drags Thanos along for a distance, burying him under debris. He stands just as the pilot leaps in a great arc to punch him, landing in front of him with an energy-blade at the ready.

Thanos smirked, "Well, well."

"You should have killed me." Nebula yelled.

" Would've been a waste of parts!" Thanos grinned like a maniac.

Nebula ran at Thanos, attacking him with her sword, "Where's Gamora?!"

Thanos punches her away. Dr. Strange uses the Crimson Bands of Cyttorak to pinion the gauntlet, pulling Thanos' fingers open and trying to pry the gauntlet off his hand.

Thanos tries to pull free, as Drax slides in from his right, kicking his knee and knocking him off-balance, then wrapping himself around Thanos' kneeling leg.

Star-Lord shoots a electric trap onto the ground to Thanos' right, the tangle-field holding down his unarmored hand.

Peter swings in, webs Thanos' chest then wraps it around behind him, digging his Iron Spider legs into the ground to anchor himself.
