AVENGE THE FALLEN; ENDGAME

Chapter Thirteen

Athea is now punching his arm to release his grip on her neck. Thanos smirked and brought the tip of his sword down to her chest, "let this be a lesson! To all!" His voice boomed. "You all will fall!"

"N..o" she gasped for air. "Y..ou...wi...ll!" Her body flared a neon and irradiated her true power. Thanos scoffed and started to pierce the sword into her skin. Athea screeched in pain.

Steve heard her cries from afar "Athea!" He yelled. The Captain began bashing chiturai and outstriders in his path just to try reach her. Athea's pain brought a sick smile to his face.

Carol groaned in pain and woke up to see Thanos trying to extract the piece. "No." She whispered. Danvers struggled to get on her feet "Athea fight back! Your stronger! You can't let him win!"

"Your a weakling! Without this stone your nothing but a corpse!" Thanos cut deeper. Once her patch of uniform was gone, you could see her heart glowing. He was close to grabbing it. Athea howled as his blade sliced more skin, her eyes landed on the two pieces of jewelry in her wrist. The two people she lost, the family she only had, her best friend and her father. "Fight through it!"

Athea body enveloped in purple, Thanos sword was thrown away from his hands by a strong force. The light burn at his skin "you little wrench!" He dropped her. The little innocent, girl was no more. This venomous creature inside her was released, it was revenge.

She tackled him to the floor and began to punch him repeatedly into the ground. Each punch made them bury deeper into the battle fieldo. "Enough!" He snatched her by the arm and flung her away.

His sights were on the gauntlet that laid 10 feet away from him. Stark finished his battle and saw the glove unprotected. He looked up to see the Titan approaching but he flew at him and knocked into his giant body. Thanos only smacked him away like a fly and knocked him out. Thor and Steve jump in and start to bash him with Stormbreaker and Mjolnir. "Weaklings!" He mumbled and overpowered both men. It was Carols turn, she started to punch him like Athea did before but she is tossed away like nothing. Thanos puts on the gauntlet, the radiation started to burn his skin. It was time, his time, for balance.

"I will end you!"

Athea jumped into the air and yanked his fingers apart to stop him from snapping. Her teeth gritted against each other as she pulled back his thumb and middle finger. Thanos drew his head back and tried to head butt her but it didn't do any damage. He grimaced and activated the power stone. Athea fell to her knees quickly, the power stone had control over her entire body, technically she was one with the stone.He took it off the engraving and held it to her chest. Athea gave him one last glare as her chest began to glow.

A crystallized stone appeared, her heart and the chiseled off piece. It was over for her, her battle was over.

"You won't win." Athea coughed, she began to loose her breathe. Athea felt like choking, she couldn't breathe no more. Her heart was ripped away from her before her eyes.

"That's where your wrong. I had already won from the start." The stone had rejoined with its missing pieces. Her body collapsed in front of him, he merely scoffed and kicked her dead body to the side. Carol wanted to scream and kill the Titan more than ever. "Athea!"

The Titan placed the full stone back in the glove engraving. Tony let's out a battle cry and sent one last attack. Without his knowledge,Stark pulled the stones off before he was thrown away by Thanos.

"I am– inevitable." He snapped his fingers. Nothing happened. Only a clink. The stones are missing. He turned to see Tony with a backup gauntlet of his own with the stones in the engravings. He sat there in pain as the radiation traveled through his body.

"And I– am– Iron Man." He vocalized.

Tony snaps his fingers with a loud "CLANG" and flash of white appeared. Rocket fired at a Leviathan but before it ate him, it crumbled into ash. The Black Order started to turn into dust and faded away.

T'Challa and Quill look around in surprise; Steve breathed out in exhaustion, 'they had won'. Thanos, sat on his knees and looked around and sees his entire army dissapear before his eyes. He looked look at Steve who just stared back at him. Before you knew it, Thanos was gone too.

Tony laid against the wall, his body was badly burned. "Life functions critical." His AI echoed. Pepper sobbed "Tony. Look at me. We're gonna be okay. You can rest now." His wife cried. His arc reactor flickered off meaning he was gone for good. Pepper bawled her eyes out in his shoulder. Tony Stark, Iron Man, Father, was dead.

"Athea!" Carol crawled to her sister. Steve quickly dropped his hammer and shield next to them.

"I need the pieces! Please!" Carol cried. "Someone get the piece! Find it! Do something!" She pleaded at the hero's. Steve and Sam started to search the battle field for half the stone.

"Athea! Your gonna be okay. See! They are getting the pieces. Your gonna live! Your gonna live a happy life. You aren't gonna die out here." Carol rambled and her fingers cascaded down her lifeless face.

Shuri eyes caught a glimpse of a shiny stone about 10 feet away from Starks body. It was half the stone Carol begged for. She was quick to snatch it up and sprinted off to the other side of the battle field where Carol cradled the girl whom she considered a sister.

"Ms. Danvers." Shuri called out. The blonde looked up to see the young wakandian princess holding up her heart. "I believe this is yours." Carol whimpered and gently took the stones from her hand.

She cried and placed them on the hole of her suit. It didn't do anything, Carol shook her head and cried. "Why isn't it working?!" Steve yelled. The blonde hiccuped unable for words, "Carol..."

"No! It was suppose to work!" She cried and swatted Steve's hands when trying to restrain her.

"Here! Wait!" Quill ran over, he pulled a small machine from his pocket. "I was given this by my father. He said someone might need it. He didn't tell me who but... just take it." Carol sniffled and took it from him. It was a small machine, on the side it had a name 'Yondu - that crazy alien girl might need this piece of junk.'

Carol cried in joy and hugged the machine her lifeless body of Athea's "your gonna be alright."
