Author's Note
Hello guys. Sorry that this isn't an update on the actual content of the story, but one of the reviews had me thinking, and it's probably best that I explain everything to you guys in terms of the stones and their uses in my story for anyone who may be a little confused. Don't worry, there are no Endgame spoilers here even though the events of the rest of the story will, in their own way, spoil the movie. Also, sorry, but this will be rather long, probably as long or longer than my normal chapters. If you know everything I'm talking about and everything I've changed, then you can skip this unless you'd really like to read it.
REALITY STONE:
In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the Reality Stone is referred to as the Aether. During the Convergence in 2013's Thor: The Dark World, Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) was infected with the Aether. This prompted Thor (Chris Hemsworth) to take Foster to Asgard to treat her.
Malekith (Christopher Eccleston) and the Dark Elves intended to use the Aether to bring darkness upon the Nine Realms, killing Frigga (Rene Russo) in the process. Malekith was able to draw the Aether out of Foster and fought Thor across multiple worlds, resulting in his death.
The Aether was safely stored and taken to Knowhere, where it is given to the Collector (Benicio del Toro). In 2018's Avengers: Infinity War, Thanos (Josh Brolin) takes the Aether, which had solidified into the Reality Stone, from the Collector and used it to help him take Gamora (Zoe Saldana) from the Guardians of the Galaxy.
In my stories, the Reality Stone does as advertised: controls reality, and is housed in Foggy Bottom (mainly just to get that place involved in my story arc). Silverclaw used the Reality Stone in PAW Patrol: Infinity War to trick Chase, Marshall, and Skye in Foggy Bottom. It is not so much an angry sludge as 2023 Thor put it in Avengers: Endgame.
SOUL STONE:
In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the Soul Stone is first mentioned in 2014's Guardians of the Galaxy; it can be seen among the six stones during the Collector's explanation on Knowhere.
In Avengers: Infinity War, it is revealed that the Soul Stone is housed on Vormir, and according to the Red Skull (Ross Marquand), in order to obtain the Soul Stone, a sacrifice must be made of the one that the person loves most. Thanos ended up sacrificing his favorite daughter Gamora for the Soul Stone.
In my stories, the Soul Stone, being orange, is designated for Zuma, so I decided to have it housed in Pup-lantis, and even made it the secret power source of Pup-lantis. in PAW Patrol: Infinity War, Silverclaw manages to outlast Rocky, Rubble, Zuma, the mer-pups, Sid, and Arrby and takes the Soul Stone. I do not think that an actual sacrifice to obtain the stone is fitting for my story.
MIND STONE:
In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the Mind Stone first pops up in 2012's The Avengers in Loki's scepter. Loki (Tom Hiddleston) uses the scepter to enslave Clint Barton (Jeremy Renner) and Erik Selvig (Stellan Skarsgard).
The Mind Stone plays a much bigger role in 2015's Avengers: Age of Ultron. At the beginning of the movie, the Avengers retrieve the scepter from Baron Wolfgang von Strucker (Thomas Kretschmann). Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) and Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo) remove the stone from the scepter and it is placed inside the head of Vision (Paul Bettany) as part of his mainframe. Vision is able to use the Mind Stone as a weapon, as seen when he defeats Ultron (James Spader) and blocks the way to the quinjet in 2016's Captain America: Civil War.
In Avengers: Infinity War, Shuri (Letitia Wright) tries to safely remove the Mind Stone from Vision's head, but does not have enough time. After Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) successfully destroys the stone and Vision, Thanos uses the Time Stone to undo her actions and rips the Mind Stone out of the resurrected Vision's head, killing the android once again.
In my stories, the Mind Stone is one of the more powerful stones. Located at Jake's Cabin, it blasts whoever reaches for it back, but doesn't cause much physical harm, and starts to deteriorate. I figured in PAW Patrol: Infinity War, instead of having to kill someone to obtain the stone, Everest and Jake could deteriorate it until it is destroyed. As you read in Chapter 3 of PAW Patrol: Endgame, Mr. Porter and Jake traveled back to the events of Pups and the Snow Monster, which aired in 2014, to obtain the Stone without using their bare hands.
TIME STONE:
In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the Time Stone is stored in the Eye of Agamotto, which is worn around the neck of the Sorcerer Supreme. Prior to the events of 2016's Doctor Strange, the Time Stone was kept with the Ancient One (Tilda Swinton). Following her death, the Stone was kept with Doctor Stephen Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch), who used it to stop Kaecilius (Mads Mikkelsen) and Dormammu by creating a time loop to bore Dormammu into leaving with Kaecilius.
In Avengers: Infinity War, Doctor Strange explains how he has to guard the Time Stone with his life before being captured by Ebony Maw (Tom Vaughan-Lawlor). After the battle on Titan, Strange willingly gives up the Time Stone if Thanos spares Tony Stark's life.
In my stories, the Time Stone is buried within the oak tree outside the Lookout (I think it's an oak tree I'm not sure if the type of tree is explicitly said in the show) for Rocky to find in PAW Patrol: Infinity War. Silverclaw uses it the same way Thanos did in Avengers: Infinity War: he reversed time to undo the destruction of the Mind Stone.
SPACE STONE:
In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the Tesseract appears more than any other Infinity Stone, and it is shown to be very powerful. In 2011's Captain America: The First Avenger, Johann Schmidt (Hugo Weaving) was exiled to Vormir by the Tesseract upon holding it in his bare hand. The cube was lost under the sea until SHIELD found it along with a frozen Steve Rogers (Chris Evans).
The Tesseract was also used to help the Skrulls escape the rule of the Kree in 2019's Captain Marvel. In the process, Carol Danvers (Brie Larson) absorbed some of the Tesseract's power during her first encounter with Yon-Rogg (Jude Law).
The Tesseract was then used by Loki to open a portal to let the Chitauri race invade Earth in a failed attempt to enslave humanity. The Tesseract was brought to Asgard and kept in Odin's (Anthony Hopkins) vaults. In 2017's Thor: Ragnarok, Loki took the Tesseract with him after unleashing Surtur (Clancy Brown) on Asgard, destroying Hela (Cate Blanchett) and their home in the process. Thanos then took the cube from Loki and killed him and Heimdall (Idris Elba).
In my stories, the Space Stone is a sacred cube housed in the vaults of Barkingburg's castle. Silverclaw snatches it from Sweetie in PAW Patrol: Infinity War and uses it to open portal to travel to different parts of the world. I chose to have the Space Stone, which is blue, housed in Barkingburg because Chase is more closely associated with Barkingburg than any other pup.
POWER STONE:
In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the Power Stone is first seen on Morag in Guardians of the Galaxy. Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) steals it from Korath (Djimon Hounsou), who is working for Ronan the Accuser (Lee Pace). Ronan made a deal with Thanos that if he obtained the Power Stone, Thanos would destroy the planet Xandar. Ronan eventually turns against Thanos and decides to use the stone himself to destroy Xandar. Quill is able to grab onto the stone, which would kill anyone not strong enough to hold it. He and the other members of the Guardians of the Galaxy share its power and use it to kill Ronan.
Thanos uses the Power Stone in Avengers: Infinity War to destroy the Asgardian refugee ship. He also uses it in the fights on Titan and in Wakanda.
In my stories, the Power Stone is also only able to be held by certain people (and pups). In PAW Patrol: Infinity War, Ryder is able to wield the stone without being killed, but it takes its toll on him physically. It is located underneath Bear Rock, where Skye dug it up. For each stone, the pup whose color corresponds to the stone can wield the respective stone without any physical repercussions (yes, even the Mind Stone, as you will find out later).
SILVERCLAW:
Silverclaw is an OC villain of mine. He is the PAW Patrol version of Thanos. His planet suffered from overpopulation, and he was the only one who wanted to do something about it, just like Thanos. This motivates him to collect the six Infinity Stones and wipe out half of the population. I made him more PG-ish in PAW Patrol: Infinity War, in the sense that the only ones who fall victim to him not via the snap are two members of the Kitten Catastrophe Crew. I do not know how Silverclaw will pan out in PAW Patrol: Endgame, so I really don't have much else to say about him.
Chapter 4 of PAW Patrol: Endgame will be posted soon. I want to say thank you to those who have praised this story and its prequel, as well as my other works.
