Marvelous Angel
Chapter: Sixty One
Avenge the fallen
City of Zalam
No, no, no. This isn't supposed to happen. Desty Nova had the digitalization version of the infinity stones in the palm of his hands. A simple snap and he would control all living beings. Only something went wrong and he heard a snap echoing everywhere. The digital infinity stones exploded and almost destroyed him along with Zalam.
He made sure the digital stones were shielded. However using the eye of Zalam to make sure his puppets stay his puppets. Suddenly just vanished like a snap of fingers. He had calculated that 50 percent of all life here on Earth and elsewhere like Venus, Mars, and Jupiter are just gone. All that power gone like that, he growled in frustration.
He hated failure. He had no use of Nebula, seeing through her eyes is now pointless and ended contact for good. To him it's not a total loss, he still has Zalam and still looks down at Iron city like a god. As for Alita, what became of her is a mystery. Once again the battle angel eluded him...again.
On the ground near him a green glowing object is shining. Nova looked down at the object and picked it up. His grin grew wider.
"A gift for me," said Nova "This could be useful."
Avengers compound, Upstate New York
Captain America had just tossed Alita's blade of Damascus upon the feet of everyone whom is present in the room. Tony realized he lost his God mother to the snap thanks to Thanos. Everyone are deep in thought of what had occured weeks ago and had no words for this. They just kneeled down and paid their respects of where the sword lays on the ground.
Suddenly from the outside of the facility, someone drops in for a landing and strolls on in, which tearing off both doors in the process and glaring at all of them assembled in the room. Namor the prince of Atlantis has arrived.
"I demand to know what happened," growled Namor "First we were attacked by invaders and then they vanished, along with half of my people."
"Thanos used the stones to kill 50 percent of all life," replied Rogers "Just with a snap of his fingers."
"My father got his wish," said Nebula.
"We lost a lot of good people... including." Spoke Rogers.
"Where is Alita," demanded Namor?
"She's gone too." Sighed Natasha
"It cannot be," said Namor "A great warrior has fallen."
"Yes, it's true," rolls in Charles Xavier "Perhaps it would be best to Avenge the fallen."
"We know who Namor is," said Rogers "But I am at a loss who you are "
"Professor Charles Xavier," said Xavier "Founder of the X-Men."
"X-Men," replied Namor "I remember your people from the bay of pigs incident, after which all of you vanished from the world."
"Yes," nodded Xavier "Some unfortunate incidents happened that were beyond our control. The snap set things right...or so we thought."
Returning to the topic of finding Thanos, Danvers proposes that they go after him right away. However, the rest of the team is not so easily convinced of the idea. Rogers tells her they don't even know where he is, but Danvers says she knows some people who might.
Nebula says there is no need because she knows where Thanos is, referencing The Garden that Thanos had planned to retreat to after achieving his goal of the Snap. Based on her information, Groot looked up any information and found what they have been looking for.
Garden planet
"I am Groot," spoke Groot who noticed the stones are missing "I am Groot."
"Where are they?" Asked Rogers
"Answer the question." Demanded Danvers!
"The universe required correction. After that, the stones served no purpose beyond temptation." Replied Thanos
"YOU MURDERED TRILLIONS!" Shouted Wilson
Thanos is shoved to the ground as the Mad Titan looked up at the assembled heroes
"You should be grateful." Spoke Thanos
"Where are the Stones?" Asked Natasha
"Gone. Reduced to atoms." Said Thanos "Although one was missing when I done this."
"You used them two days ago!" said Rogers
"I used the Stones to destroy the Stones. It nearly killed me, but the work is done. It always will be. I am... inevitable." Replied Thanos
"We have to tear this place apart. He has to be lying." Growled Drax
"My father is many things. A liar is not one of them." Nebula pointed it out.
"Ah. Thank you, daughter. Perhaps I treated you too harshly..." Spoke Thanos last words as Thor brings his hammer down, decapitating Thanos which his head rolls to the side.
"I am Groot," said Groot looking up at Thor
"I went for the head" said Thor.
The assembled heroes looked beaten as Thanos thought ahead of time what he was going to do. All of wondered what he mean by one was missing, could of Alita had done something before she was snapped out of existence. There is no reason for them to be here, only then a large triangle shaped ship came out of the sky.
"Anybody know what that is," asked Rogers?
"I am Groot," said Groot.
"It's a Galactic Republic Starship." Said Danvers "Last I heard the clone wars going in their galaxy."
"Must of noticed that half the people in their galaxy are gone too." Said Rogers.
Suddenly two shuttle like crafts came flying out of the large triangle like ship and which flew towards their position. Only to land upon the ground and out came two aliens, one human. They walked towards the heroes and stopped.
"Hello Master Yoda," smiled Danvers "How have you been."
"Ah, greetings to you Captain Marvel." Said Yoda "Sought answers we do in the disappearance of so many there is, gone they are."
"What do you know about Thanos," asked Ashoka?
"Well he's dead if that is what you want to know." Said Thor.
"We picked up an energy disturbance just two days ago and traced it here." Said Skywalker.
"Thanos used the infinity stones to wipe out 50 percent of all life." Said Natasha "As we battled his forces."
"We lost," said Rogers "We came here to use the stones to bring people back, Thanos on the other hand used the stones to destroy them."
"Much lost, there is." Sighed Yoda "Learned much we did with people gone."
"What happens now," asked Skywalker?
"Thrive, survive, and move on." Said Rogers
Mars: The future
A assembled group of people are inside the dome which is the capitol of Mars. Which Alita and Gelda had explained what had transpired in the weeks Alita had arrived here and considering the others just came here now, much time has passed.
"That's a lot of factions." Muttered Loki.
"Let me get this straight," said Fury "There was a brief civil war on Mars and now every faction is together now."
"You are correct Mister Fury," nodded Gelda
"We formed the United faction called the M.C.U. or Martian Commonwealth United." Said Alita "It did take some convincing to establish that Nova is the true enemy and the mastermind behind the fall."
"How is he actually immortal." Asked Banner?
"Technology and few body parts," replied Gelda.
"Like the grand champion that wins it all in motorball goes to Zalam," said Ido "I was born there, but got exiled with my ex-wife and daughter."
"I was there for a brief time," growled Loki "And it wasn't pretty. Glad his eye is out of my head."
"Hey Gelda," said Rocket "where do I get armor like yours."
"The berserker body is not for you," said Gelda "But we do have certain weapons that might interest you."
"So what now," asked Logan?
"Now we build up Mars to it once was and strike at Zalam when are ready," said Gelda.
"It won't be easy," said Alita
"Never is my dear," said Erik
"Nice to see you more distinguish in your ripe old age," said Alita "Erik, you were handsome the last time I saw you."
"True," chuckled Erika
"Guess it will be time to chew bubble gum and kick ass," said Quill "But I'm all out of bubble gum."
"That's stupid Quill," said Rhodes
"Hey it sounded cool," replied Quill.
Earth: Five years later
Five years later, Earth's remaining population has attempted to persevere against catastrophic losses. The massive genocide has traumatized the world and has stagnated much of their progress, with the path to recovery remaining slow. Rogers now participates in and/or runs a support group for citizens of New York City who are trying to cope with surviving the Snap and their losses.
In a U-STORE-It Self-Storage facility in San Francisco, a rat accidentally activates the Quantum Tunnel in Luis' Van, which had been impounded after the Snap, finally pulling Scott Lang and Hank Pym out of the Quantum Realm. Disoriented and confused, Lang along with Pym wondered what happened when they were gone for five hours.
