Yes, I'm here. I'm alive. I'm so sorry that it took so long. I got my laptop fixed, btw. Now, here's what we've all been waiting for. Anyways, enjoy!
We waited in our spots for our plan to attack Thanos. I was above the area, with Peter, and we looked over as Dr. Strange was just casually sitting there.
A few moments later, a portal opened, and a big purple dude walked in. "Is that him?" I whispered to Peter. "I think so," Peter whispered back. "He looks like a big purple grape." I whispered. Peter chuckled. Then, Thanos snapped his head up towards us. We moved back. "Shh." I whispered. "That's what I'm trying to do!" Peter whispered. A few minutes later, Iron Man came flying down with a big block in front of his hands, and pushed it on top of Thanos. "See, Quill? Easy." Iron Man said. "Yeah, if you wanted to anger him more!" Peter Q said, after flying and going against Thanos. "Stay here, Amani. I just got you back, and I don't wanna lose you again." Peter said, and went down. I smiled. He knows I'm gonna go against Thanos. I thought.
After Peter went against Thanos, it was my turn to hop in. I flipped down, and did a portal. Then, I opened another portal above Thanos' head. I summoned lighting to my hands, and shocked Thanos with it. Then, I created fire to erupt from the lighting, setting everything on fire. Then, when it got too hot, I made my way down to the gauntlet. The Infinity Stone Gauntlet. "Guys! Come on!" I yelled. As I did, Thanos was able to punch me away. "Ah!" I yelled as I got punched harshly backwards. "Amani!" Peter yelled. "I'm fine, get the gauntlet." I said. He was already over here. "Peter, go." I said, wincing. "No, no, no." Peter said, his mask disappearing. "Peter, go!" I said. He tried to think of what to do, but I was helpless. He couldn't do anything for me. Not right now at least. "Kid! A little help!" Tony Stark yelled to Peter. Peter looked to Stark, then to me, with worry.
"Peter," I smiled sadly, "go, I'll be fine." I promised. "No. I-I can't lose you, not again." Peter said. "I'm telling you, Parker. If you don't go right now, then I'll do it myself." I said, getting up, but he pushed me down, and sighed. "Fine, I'll go." Peter said, and his mask appeared back on him. I smiled slightly. "Don't ever waste your time on me, go." I said, and he went.
I watched as Peter swung over to Thanos to get his gauntlet off. They were so close, but Mantis lost control, and Thanos punched Peter back. Then, a few minutes later, I watched in horror as Tony Stark was stabbed in the stomach. I have to help. I thought. I looked back to where Peter was. He was shaking his head, 'no'. I shook mine 'yes'. His eyes widened, and I ran. He was rapidly shaking his head now. I mouthed, "sorry" to him, then went to go against Thanos.
"Wait!" Dr. Strange called, and I stopped. Thanos looked towards Strange, who was a few feet behind me. "Spare his life," Dr. Strange said. "And I'll give the stone," he added. My eyes widened. I mouthed "no". "Ah, a loyal one. Come," Thanos said, and Strange walked up to him, walking him past me. "Strange, what are you doing!?" I asked. Then I had an idea. Wall of ice. I thought, and a wall appeared in front of Strange, stopping him from getting to Thanos. I made sure that the wall was at least 12 inches thick. "Amani," Strange said. "No, you can't do this." I said. "Amani, listen. This is the only way." Strange said. "There has to be another way, y-you can't give him the stone!" I said. "Why?" Strange asked. "He wants to wipe out 50% of the earth, the universe!" I said. "How do you know this?" Strange asked. "Gamora. Thanos' daughter." I said. "Was," I added, looking at the Wall. Strange sighed, and did something with his hand, then my wall disappeared. "No!" I cried, but Strange gave Thanos the stone.
Then, he walked through a portal. I tried to detect where he went, but I couldn't. "Strange, why'd you do it!" I said. "It was our only option." Strange said, then sat down. I went over to where Peter was, and sat down a few feet away from him. "You alright?" he asked me. "I'm fine." I said. He grabbed my hand, and squeezed it, in comfort. I looked at him, "Are you okay?" I asked. He sighed. "Amani, it's been 2 years since I've last seen you. I-I don't think okay is in my vocabulary anymore." Peter said, chuckling. Which made me chuckle too. "Mine neither. Last 2 years, I've been fighting, saving the Galaxy multiple times. I met some friends, which are the Guardians of the Galaxy, including me. We found Peter Q's father, which turned out to be some type of celestial being," I rambled. "Wait. Those are real?" Peter asked. I nodded. "Yeah, apparently Peter, the other one, was half 'god', and half 'human'." I explained. "Huh. Interesting." Peter said.
"Yeah, anyway we defeated him, but before that we defeated Ronin, and found out that Peter was able to wield one of the infinity stones. That brought us to Ego, his father. And now we're fighting Thanos. There's a lot of stuff that's happened, Peter. I wish I had more time to tell you it all." I rambled, but when I looked back to Peter, he was...gone. "Peter?" I asked, looking around. "Peter!?" I asked, worriedly. I started to look for him, nothing. Wait. "Drax!" I cried out. " Quill!" I called. "No, no, no." I said. "Where are they? Come on guys, I-I can't be that dumb, come on out." I said, worriedly. I felt a hand on my shoulder. I snapped around.
"Amani," Tony Stark said. "Where did they go? Where did Peter go?" I asked, worried. "I-I don't know. They just disappeared. All of them, except for you, me, and that blue chick." Tony said. "Nebula," I whispered, then ran away. "Hey, kid!" Tony called after me. "Sorry," I said.
"Nebula!" I cried. "Amani?" Nebula asked, a few feet away from me. I ran straight to her, and hugged her. "Where did they go?" I asked. "He did it," Nebula said. "Did what?" I asked, looking up to her. "Exactly what you said." Nebula said. Then, I realized this. Thanos did it. He wiped out all 50% of the universe. Including my family, including Peter...I thought as a tear went down my cheek. "I'm sorry, Amani. I should've never helped him." Nebula said. "You didn't have a choice," I sniffled. "But I did." Nebula said. I shook my head. "I could've stopped, listened to Gamora when I should've. But, I didn't." Nebula said. Another tear went down my cheek. "I'm tired," I said. "Come, let's get some rest on the ship." Nebula said, and led us inside.
She picked me up, and placed me on a bed under the cockpit area. I fell straight asleep. But I had no dreams, which I was grateful for. Why? Why did they all have to leave? Why them, and not...me? I thought as I drifted. I guess I'll never know…
