Endgame (Steve, Bucky, Thor) Book 6

24.

Nobodies POV

The Big Three walk over to confront Thanos face to face.

"You could not live with your own failure. And where did that bring you? Back to me. 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." Thanos says

"Yep. We're all kinds of stubborn." Tony says

"I'm thankful. Because now, I know what I must do." Thanos says and he stands up. "I will shred this universe down to its last atom." Thanos says

Thanos puts on his helmet.

"And then- With the stones you've collected for me, create a new one. Teeming with life, but knows not what it has lost but only what it has been given." Thanos says

Thor lights himself up. "A grateful universe." Thanos says

"Born out of blood." Steve says "They'll never know it. Because you won't be alive to tell them." Thanos says

The fighting starts, and Thor and Tony go straight at Thanos.

....

Meanwhile, Hulk is under all of the mess trying to hold up the structure. Rhodey and Rocket are breathing for their lives.

"See you on the other side, man." Rhodey says "Hang on! I'm coming!" Scott yells

....

Hawkeye is running with the infinity gauntlet. He blows the place, and escapes before the Outriders overwhelm him. He sees Nebula.

"Oh, hey- I know you." Clint says

Clint gives her the gauntlet. then she puts her hand on her earpiece.

"Father." Nebula says

Clint gasped and finds out that she's from 2014. "I have the stones." 2025 Nebula says "What?!" Clint yells

Clint tries to get up but Nebula (2014) steps her foot down on him an points her gun at him.

"Stop." Gamora says

Gamora come around the corner. "You're betraying us?" 2014 Nebula ask

With her hands up, Nebula joins Gamora. Nebula (2014) points her gun at her future self

"You don't have to do this." Nebula says

"I am this." 2014 Nebula says "No, you're not." Gamora says "You've seen what we become." Nebula says

"Nebula, listen to her." Gamora says "You can change." Nebula says "He won't let me." 2014 Nebula says

Nebula (2014) points a gun at Gamora. "NO!" Gamora yells

Present Nebula shoots Nebula (2014) and she dies. Hawkeye picks up the Infinity Gauntlet when he runs into someone he never though he was going to see again.

Clint practically runs into her arms. "How." Clint breaths

Natasha soothes him, gently tugging him along, "I'll explain later, we have a universe to save." Natasha says

....

The 3 heroes battling Thanos.

"Okay, Thor. Hit me." Tony says

Thor bangs his 2 hammers together combined with his lightning. Tony's suit sucks up the energy and he shoots it out using his hands and his body. Thanos twirls his blade really fast to divert the energy.

Thor grabs Stormbreaker and uses it to bat Mjölnir to hit Thanos. Thanos uses Tony as a shield resulting in damage to his system.

"Boss, wake up!" Friday yells

Steve tries to attack Thanos but is easily shielded away by the Mad Titan. Thor's attack on Thanos is blocked by his sword. Thor is beaten and choked by Thanos, as he punches him.

Mjolnir is flicked away as Thanos relentlessly beats up Thor, throwing him into a tree and socking him before throwing him over rubble and socking him again.

Thor tries to grab Stormbreaker but Thanos grabs it and uses it against Thor as he tries to defend himself.

Mjölnir starts to float off the ground while Thanos is digging it into Thor, when suddenly Mjolnir flies into Thanos, zooms past, stops, and flies back, both look on in amazement as Steve picks up the hammer.

"I knew it!" Thor exclaims

Thanos' kicks Thor to the ground and proceed to battle Steve dual wielding both his shield and Mjolnir.

Steve proceeds to charge at Thanos swinging Mjolnir and hitting Thanos in the face knocking him down.

Steve throws his shield and Thanos deflects, Steve throws Mjolnir to his shield creating a shockwave and knocking Thanos off his feet.

Steve goes on the offensive on Thanos, throwing his shield first at Thanos and quickly hitting it back at him again with Mjolnir. He lines his arm back up and underarms a channel of lightning on Thanos.

Thanos eventually gets the upper hand, he removes his helmet, stabs Steve on the leg and knocks Mjolnir out of his hand.

Thanos proceed to destroy Steve's shield with his double-bladed sword and throws him across the battlefield.

Steve staggeredly tries to get up.

"In all my years of conquest- violence- slaughter- It was never personal. But I'll tell you now- what I'm about to do to your stubborn, annoying little planet- I'm gonna enjoy it. Very, very much. And I'm betting just as much as snapping your mates neck" Thanos says sinisterly.
