Avengers: Race For Infinity
Prologue
This Chapter Will be a recap of what happened in my previous fan fiction. But to fill you in i'll add in the last few chapters that will be broken up into a prologue. Some of the chapter will be from the movie Avengers Infinity War and some will be from my mind but i'd like to remind everyone i do not own Marvel or any of It's characters this is purely for entertainment.
Tony remembered it. He remembered every second of it as if it were written on the back of his hand. It would be the most defining moment of his 10 year career as Iron Man. He remembered how the Avengers finally lost.
A few hours earlier the Avengers and many Wakandan tribes prepared for an invasion of Wakanda while Vision is under safeguard.
"Yibambe!" chanted Black Panther as the army chanted it back. They continued the chant as Outriders and the Black Order struggle to get through Wakanda's force field.
"Shuri lower the force field now!" said T'Challa with a hint of worry in his voice. "Wakanda Forever!" said Black Panther and the army as they all charge at their alien assailants.
Black Panther is the first to take down an Outrider as he leaps at it and violently stabs it with his claws while Nomad takes out a group of the strange, grey invaders and Iron Man, War Machine and Falcon cause havock for the invaders from above. White Wolf fires multiple bullets almost everywhere around him from his assault rifle since the Outsiders surround him and to his surprise Star-Lord takes out an even larger gun and fires it,taking out a even larger group of Outriders.
"Trigger-happy much?" said Bucky sarcastically. "Whatever" retorted Quill.
As they are fighting Outriders Nebula and Gamora encounter Proxima Midnight, a top member of the Black Order. Proxima almost instantly remembers how much she hates the both of them and looks to kill them both with her spear but the sisters are familiar with her moveset and know how to combat her successfully but Proxima catches Gamora off guard and stabs her but Nebula catches Proxima Midnight off guard and stabs her violently and kills her. Back at the Wakandan lab Shuri works on trying to stabilize Vision but then Corvus Glaive busts into the lab and takes out two Wakandan guards. Shuri gets to safety as Corvus Glaive looks to kill Vision but out of nowhere Ant Man and the Wasp grow to their normal size and try to fight Corvus Glaive , constantly shrinking and growing but he manages to defeat them both. Vision then catches Corvus off guard and tackles him through the window and into the forest.
"Guys Vision needs backup now! He's in the forest." Said Shuri worried for her friend. "Rhodey and I will help him out don't worry about it kid." said Iron Man while him and War Machine fly into the forest quickly. Spider-Man runs through the forest quickly, webbing up as many Outsiders as possible so Bruce Banner inside the Hulkbuster armor can take them out. Back in the forest Corvus Glaive hunts down Vision and looks to kill him but suddenly Iron Man's unibeam strikes him and kills him. Scarlet Witch quickly runs to Vision's side while Tony and Rhodey try to help him up but it seems Vision is having an extremely hard time standing up. In the following moments It seems hope will be lost for the Avengers and the Guardians. The Avengers begin to struggle greatly with holding off the brutal and merciless Outriders. A large group of the horrific aliens swarm Bruce Banner inside the Hulkbuster armor while Drax and Spider-Man lay unconscious. The Outsiders ruthlessly tear into the Hulkbuster armor but suddenly an incredibly large roar erupts from the armor and to all the Avengers surprise Hulk emerges from the now torn up Hulkbuster armor, punching Outriders left and right. Hulk roars incredibly load that startles Spider-Man.
"Agh what the hell am I in superhero heaven?" groaned Spidey.
"No web-head you're still in Wakanda now get up and fight like an Avenger" said Hawkeye while helping up Spider-Man.
The Avengers give it their all and take out the rest of Outriders one by one before going into the forest to see how Vision is feeling. All of a sudden Mantis begins to panic and Vision screams loudly. "Vis keep talking to me what's happening" screamed Wanda. "We are...out of time" gasped Vision.
A dark cloud appears across the side and it gets incredibly windy as the Avengers look on worried. A portal opens up in the middle forest and a tall purple alien wielding the Infinity Gauntlet better known as Thanos exits the portal. The Titan looks at all the Avengers judgementally and notices his daughters Gamora and Nebula standing alongside earth's defenders. "Daughters. Do you realize how pathetic and weak you are? You stand alongside these...these humans and outcasts as if they are your allies! You used to be strong and ruthless and now you let them take control of you." exclaimed Thanos. "You now disgust me. I gave you a chance to join me and you spit in my face. YOUR FATHER. Not anymore I'm done with feelings and compassion." Gamora and Nebula both stood as still as a statue, showing no emotion and preparing to fight.
"Thanos..." muttered Tony under his breath. As much as he didn't want to be Tony was scared of this strange looking alien. His attitude and demeanor was just frightening. He feared for what could happen to Peter or Steve deep down. He tried to hold back a mini panic attack while the Titan stepped closer and with every step his heart raced faster.
Suddenly an arrow was fired at Thanos and it landed on his leg causing it to ice up along with the rest of his body. "That's going to buy us a little time get Vision out of here now!" yelled Hawkeye. "Clint it didn't buy us any time look!" exclaimed Black Widow motioning to Thanos in the ice. A purple aura from the Power Stone begins to emit from the gauntlet as the ice begins to crack and breaks sending large chunks of ice towards Hawkeye and Black Widow , taking them out. Drax runs toward Thanos whipping out his knives and tries to stab him but is brutally punched and knocked out by the Mad Titan. All the Avengers are practically frozen in place gawking at the power of Thanos and how effortlessly he's beating them. Nomad looks over to Falcon, Black Panther and Bucky who prepare to charge at the large alien and nods to them before leading the charge. Thanos uses the Power Stone to stun Falcon, Black Panther and White Wolf but doesn't see Nomad running at him and is stabbed by the Vibraunium blades. Thanos looks at Nomad in annoyance and clenches his fist and throws and a punch at Steve but to his surprise Nomad catches his fist and holds it back, struggling greatly. Thanos feels as if this Avenger doesn't know how to give up so he places more pressure on Nomad but he still is holding his fist back. White Wolf notices Steve struggling so he shoots at Thanos with his rifle but it does nothing to him so he throws his gun to the ground and decides the only way to save his friend is to test out his new arm. Bucky runs at Thanos using all his speed and punches him in his jaw momentarily stunning the Titan causing him to stop trying to hurt Nomad. Thanos begins to grow frustrated with the pair so he uses to Space and Power Stone to rip the ground up from under the both them and tosses the them into a large tree causing it to fall over as if they were lumberjacks. Iron Man and Star-Lord bravely stepped forward to face Thanos but they both stand as still as a statue, frightened by the stature and power of the Titan. He uses the Power Stone's energy blast on Tony sending him flying into the arms of Spider-Man. Thanos then grabs Star-Lord by his shirt and smirks at Gamora who looks at Quill, worried for his life.
"The boyfriend. What awkward circumstances we meet under. Is this really the best you can do Gamora? This weakling looks like he can't even defend himself. Oh well, you'll be rid of him now" mocked Thanos.
Before Thanos could kill him Star-Lord spits in the Titan's face causing him to drop Quill and chuckle.
"I was wrong about you. I like you. But unfortunately you are in the way" says Thanos. He picks up Peter and throws him into Gamora and Nebula , tumbling them over. Thanos walks up the Hulk who uncharacteristically does nothing seeming to be afraid of The Mad Titan after their last encounter. "Move out the way you stupid beast!" barked Thanos.
Hulk throws a punch at Thanos but the purple aura of the Power Stone holds him back with ease. Thanos then bashes Hulk in the face causing him to bleed from the mouth and then he picks up the green monster and plants him in the ground brutally.
War Machine flies up to Thanos firing multiple bullets at him but Thanos simply fires an energy blast that clips Rhodey's leg and he crashes to the ground. Thanos picks up the fallen soldier and looks at him with disgust. "Such audacity. Such passion. How pathetic." Thanos looks Iron Man in his eyes and begins to crush the War Machine armor while Rhodes looks in his best friend's eyes with fear and regret. Tony looks at Rhodey with his eyes tearing up while he sees the armor being crushed and the man inside screaming and blood curdling cry of pain. Thanos decides to end the streak of emotion since it annoys him greatly and crushes the armor completely killing James Rhodes. Tony limps over to his fallen friend sobbing while Thanos marches over to an afraid Scarlet Witch and Vision. "Move now child or suffer the same fate as your comrade" warned Thanos. Wanda tries to uses energy blasts on the Titan but it's effortless against him. Thanos practically flicks Wanda out the way and picks up Vision who can barely function. Wanda struggles to get up and cries out in worry as Thanos rips out the Mind Stone of Vision's head and drops him to ground now grinning at his success. All of a sudden dark clouds begin to form and thunder echoes throughout Wakanda. The Bifrost opens and Thor, Doctor Strange , Teen Groot and Rocket Racoon emerge from it. Thor stares a proverbial hole through Thanos and grips his new axe , Stormbreaker tightly.
"You never will just give up will you Asgardian?" says Thanos. Thor ignores Thanos' jab and throws Stormbreaker at the Titan but before it can reach it's destination Thanos uses the Space Stone to teleport away. Thor looks at the destruction of Wakanda and sees his fallen friends and almost instantly loses hope. This was far from over for the Avengers.
