An eerie feeling fell over Azar, her head turning towards the forest area. "What's wrong?" Bucky asked as he stepped closer to her, watching her with concern.

"Something is wrong." She replied, her eyes never leaving the tree line.

Her instinct was confirmed when Steve's voice echoed over comms. "Everyone, on my position. We have incoming."

She turned to look at Bucky, who clenched his jaw and nodded at her. "Come on." He said, running off with her.

The wind picked up, the Avengers scanning their surroundings closely. "What the hell?" Artemis muttered softly, narrowing her eyes.

Sensing something behind him, Bruce turned around to find the blue-black clouds of the Space Stone relocation before Thanos stepped out.

"Cap, that's him." The scientist said, not once taking his eyes off of the Titan.

"Eyes up." Steve instructed with a clenched jaw as he activated his shield. "Stay sharp."

Bruce made the first attack, lunging forward with his fist raised but with use of the Space Stone, Thanos rendered him immaterial until the Hulkbuster armour was half-buried into the cliff behind him, freezing the scientist into place.

Steve was the next to be sent flying by purple energy before he even managed to land a single blow.

Artemis flew forward, eyes glowing and body engulfed with cosmic energy but was backhanded harshly, sending her flying into a tree with her back making impact first.

T'Challa, with his armour fully charged with kinetic energy, lept forward with his claws extended but was easily grabbed by the throat and punched to the ground causing his armour to violently discharge the energy that he had absorbed during the battle.

Sam stooped in, firing at the Titan with both Steyr pistols but fell to the ground as his wings became rubbery, unable to sustain him for flight.

Rhodey followed closely, firing his guns until his armour was crushed by Thanos using the gaunlet before being tossed aside like a rag doll.

Azar flew in with Bucky running behind her, firing his gun before they were both blasted back by the use of the Power Stone.

Okoye activated the Vibranium-powered elements in her spear before throwing it at Thanos but the use of the Power Stone stopped it inches away from his face.

The warlord then threw her aside, along with the spear, before he wrapped Natasha in inescapable bands of earth.

Groot attempted to wrap him in cables of roots which he had broken quite easily.

Steve stepped in again as he slid under a blow thrown by Thanos before he swung his deployed arm-shield, punching the warlord in the gut and chin.

As Thanos made a move to grab the blonde soldier, Steve grabbed the gauntlet in attempt to keep Thanos' fingers unclenched.

The warlord looked thoroughly impressed with the Captain's efforts before he slammed his fist into his head, knocking him out.

Looking over her shoulder, Wanda saw that Thanos was approaching her with her teammates either unconscious, trapped or rendered defensless.

She flung her left hand out to fend him off, using a stream of scarlet energy as she continued to destroy the Mind Stone with her right.

Despite her efforts against the blue-purple energy shield he threw up against her, Thanos started to make a slow headway towards the young witch.

Through her tears, the Scarlet Witch noticed that the Mind Stone began to crack with Vision's expression becoming one of joyful peace.

Staring into her eyes for the very last time, he professed his love for her right before the stone shattered completely which caused a pulse of pure, yellow energy to explode from him.
