Killing Thanos

They get to Nidavellir, Bloom having spent half the trip eating food from her bag, and Rocket whistles and says "You know, for a place that's said to have produced the biggest, baddest weapons of mass destruction in the history of the known universe…this place is looking really dead."

Bloom leans forward, and says "This isn't right…Nidavellir should be alive and warm. There's a single heat signature down there, guys."

Rocket asks "And you know that how?"

"I can sense heat, so I can sense living beings that give off heat."

When they get down there, they find its Eitri, the King of the Dwarves. Apparently, while Thor was flying around the Nine Realms ending uprisings and pillaging, Thanos made a quiet little stop to the legendary forge of the dwarves. He made them make his golden glove, something capable of safely harnessing the power of all six Infinity Stones.

Bloom mutters "And then, once it was finished…"

Eitri nods, and says "He killed us. All but me. He said 'your life is your own, but your hands are mine.'" Sure enough, when he holds his arms up, his hands are coated in metal.

Thor says "Eitri, hope is not lost. All the weapons you've ever designed, they were made in your head first."

"You want to kill him."

Bloom nods and says "Yeah. He attacked Asgard, nearly killed my brothers…I want the guy dead. Very, very dead."

Eitri looks at Thor and Loki questioningly, and asks "You two have a sister?"

Loki grins, and says "Not quite. We've got three."

He shrugs, and says "I want that purple-skinned murderer dead as well, but I can't help you. The forge has gone cold, the star has gone out. Unless you can free the rings that make up the forge, and re-light the star…"

Bloom grins, and says "You guys take the rings, I'll light the star up brighter than it ever was."

Eitri gives her a skeptical look, and says "You seem confident."

"I've got fire powers. You got a weapon to make?"

"Yes. The most powerful in Asgard's history. Said to be able to summon the Bifrost itself. Stormbreaker."

To his utter amazement, they actually do get the rings freed and the star working once again - and then the iris of the forge closes shut.

Bloom mutters "There's always something…I'll hold it open. How long?"

"A few minutes, but its suicide!"

Bloom grins, and says "Not for me, it isn't. Heat doesn't affect me. What is suicide is going into battle with Thanos when Thor doesn't have that hammer."

Rocket crosses his arms, and says "'Heat' like in a heatwave on Earth is one thing, 'heat' as in the full force of a neutron star is another thing entirely!"

"Ten bucks says I can."

"I don't even have a ten-dollar bill on me!"

Bloom rolls her eyes, and says "Whatever. I'm still doing it. Bloomix!"

Eitri, Rocket, and Groot all stare at her in utter shock, and she flies up as Groot breathes out "I am Groot…"

Rocket says "You can say that again."

She holds the iris open, much to Eitri's shock, like it's nothing - not like she's getting blasted face-first with the heat and fire of a star. And when she comes back down…she's looking a lot more awake than before. Everyone but Loki and Thor are dumbfounded, and Eitri asks "Exactly what are you the goddess of? Fire?"

"I'm not a goddess. Wasn't born in the Nine Realms. My magic makes it so that any and all heat doesn't affect me. It's energy to me, energy I can manipulate. I might've absorbed some of it for the fight with Thanos though."

Eitri shakes his head in shock, and gets the handle for Stormbreaker - the axe that's Thor's new weapon. Hammer-like on one end, sharpened to a wicked edge on the other, and almost as big as one of the Hulk's arms.

Everyone's fighting in Wakanda, Steve and Tony back to back and fighting some of Thanos' kids and their army of…creatures. Similar to the Chitauri, but different. Bigger, for one, and no weapons.

Doctor Strange is flying around, casting spells and making general mayhem for the other side, and a ship showed up and started shooting at these creatures…while blaring music from the eighty's, for whatever reason.

Suddenly, they see a familiar beam hit the ground, and Stark says "Told you they'd be here."

Rogers says "Yeah, yeah, I know you said that!"

A giant axe comes out of the rainbow-colored beam, instead of Thor's hammer, and then Thor, Loki, Bloom, a gun-wielding raccoon and a tree-person are standing there. Bloom focuses for a minute, and then a giant fireball comes through the air - Ember flies through it, and steps on some of the creatures. Much to the Wakandans' shock.

And Bucky's, as well. He yells "Steve! What the hell is going on here?!"

"Remember when I told you about Thor and his siblings?"

"Yeah! You never said anything about a dragon!"

"One of his sisters has one! Bucky, meet Ember!"

As they watch, Bloom grabs onto Loki's wrist and pulls him onto her, and Bucky asks "Those two can ride that thing?"

"Bets are Bloom taught him. Hey, Thor! Quick question!"

Thor bashes his way over to Steve, and asks "What is it?"

"What the hell is Loki doing here?!"

"It's a long story - the short version being Asgard was attacked."

"And he's on our side?!"

"That's the long version! Yes, he's on our side! Thanos had him prisoner for the year between New Mexico and New York!"

Bucky winces, and says "Ouch. That gets my sympathy." Steve and Stark both give him questioning looks, and he asks "You two ever been someone's prisoner? I didn't think so."

Stark incredulously asks "Seriously? That's why New York happened? That purple-skinned mass-murderer was behind it all?"

Thor nods, and says "You want to kill him, get in line. Bloom and I are up front."

When the massive, rolling machines come and start tearing up the battlefield, they see one start floating in the air and go flying into two others - Bloom's handiwork, they can guess. Wanda is still up guarding Vision, as she can handle one of Thanos' kids on her own, but they can all guess whoever is in charge is trying to draw her out - honestly, they should focus on Bloom, Loki, and the dragon they're currently riding. Because, as Steve, Tony, Bucky, and Natasha face two of Thanos' kids, Ember suddenly lands right on top of them - literally right on top of them, she just stepped on them. Killing them instantly.

Loki's voice calls down "Ta-da!"

Bloom asks "Need a hand? How 'bout a massive claw or four? By the way, you all are so getting a day-long rant on the utter stupidity of disbanding when you know a guy like Thanos is out there!"

Steve yells up "Good to see you to! Where've you been all this time?!"

"Fighting Thanos on Asgard, getting Thor a new toy on Nidavellir, getting married, you know. The usual - 'cept for that last one, that is."

Stark flies up, and asks "You got married?!"

"Surprise."

He points at Loki and asks "And you were Thanos' prisoner?"

Loki facepalms, and mutters "Here it comes. Yes, I was that monster's prisoner for the better part of a year. Satisfied now?"

"And you didn't say anything, why?" "Would you have actually cared? Because, in my experience, most wouldn't have."

Bloom slides down Ember's back, and says "What's past is past, let's focus on staying alive now, people!" I'm not most, Loki. You should've known I'd care!

She whips out her sword and knife, then goes still and looks across the battlefield for a moment before moving. "Shoot! Ember, fly!"

Loki's protests are lost to the wind, and Stark asks "What's wrong?"

"Thanos is here, that's what's wrong! He's only got the Power Stone, but it still makes him real damn hard to fight!" She transforms and then flies up as one of the creatures charges her - she jumps onto its head, and starts running across the battlefield that way.

Steve and Tony stare, and Steve says "Only Bloom."

"Definitely."

Loki looks across the battlefield desperately - there's only one reason why Bloom would put him up here with Ember, and that reason has purple skin, a golden glove, and an obsession with universal genocide.

She's kept two Infinity Stones from him, likely a third if you count the Time Stone. And the Mind Stone makes four - he won't forgive that. Thanos has to be here somewhere…

He suddenly spots the maniacal purple figure, and says "Ember, land! Step on him or something!"

Ember growls, almost apologetically, but just sends another fireball down into the battle.

"Ember, he'll kill Bloom! He already tried to once before, he'll finish the job this time!"

She sends a fireball a lot closer to Thanos this time, but still doesn't land.

"What, did Bloom tell you to keep me up here at all costs until he's dead or something?!"

Ember nods her head at that, and Loki smacks one hand to his face in frustration. "Bloom, you're going to get yourself killed…"

Lightning's coming down rapidly, destroying the giant wheel-like machines destroying the battlefield, and then…there's a massive explosion of fire. The firedragon he's come to recognize as the physical manifestation of all Bloom's magic flies up into the air, only to come right back down - right on top of Thanos' head, Loki can guess.

I hope it eats him.

Ember roars, and heads straight down to the ground - right into the giant, smoking crater that was created. All that's let of Thanos is his golden glove, along with the Power Stone - which actually has a few cracks in it, much to everyone else's shock - and Bloom is lying in the center of the crater unconscious.

Bloom, you'd better be unconscious or I swear…

Loki jumps off of Ember's back, ignoring the fact that the area feels like Muspelheim to him, and picks Bloom up. Ember nudges her body, but she doesn't react at all.

Thor slides down the crater, taking a full minute to get to his siblings from the sheer size of the explosion, and asks "Is she-"

Loki immediately snaps "I don't know, Thor!" He checks her pulse, and mentally thanks each of the Entities individually when he can feel her heart still beating.

Then, Thor puts a hand on her arm and says "Loki, she's cold as ice."

"Must've used all her remaining magic. You saw that explosion, right?"

Rocket asks "Saw it? Who didn't see it? I bet Eitri back in Nidavellir saw that! I bet people back on your Asgard saw that!"

Loki picks Bloom up, letting her face rest against his armor, and Ember shrinks down to fly up and jump onto her body and continue to nudge at her face. Thor holds Stormbreaker up, and summons the Bifrost once more to take the four of them back home.

AN: Alright, everyone! Thanos is DEAD! Yeah, I know, I didn't make some gigantic fight that would take an hour if it were real - I thought I'd make it like the ending of Avengers. The Mothership died, the fight was over. I will be posting plenty more stories, not to worry - I actually forgot to mention one I'm working on at the moment - Winx Club X Buffy the Vampire Slayer! Anybody want to read that one next? HTTYD won out with a landslide, so I might start posting those two after finishing Psychic Watcher. Merry Early Christmas, everyone! Happy Holidays!
