I seem to have made a mistake in writing this chapter, so if y'all are wondering what happened, I deleted it and fixed my error. Sorry for the inconvenience.

doraemax - Thank you, your criticisms have been duly noted! I always appreciate feedback.

Well, guys, I seem to have managed to get this going on schedule. I had a lot of fun writing this chapter, more so than the others, really.

I hope you all are keeping safe with the virus going around and all, though it is quite nice to have more time to write.

Now, I have nothing more to say, so on to the next chapter!

The battle was about to begin.

As the armies of Wakanda waited far behind him in his specified formation, Revan, along with Thor and Spider-Man walked across the field. Within moments, Thanos had transported an army ten times the size of theirs on the battlefield, with him at their helm.

As the trio walked to confront the Mad Titan, he himself moved towards them, as well. To Revan's satisfaction, he came prepared this time. He was decked out in shiny gold-colored armor, and his double-ended blade was at his side and crying for blood.

Revan's clean and prepared mask and armor shone in the afternoon's bright sun, his two lightsabers ready and at his side. Thor's helmet, which he was wearing for the first time in years, glistened in the sun as he held Stormbreaker with pride, it's handle now polished and laced in vibranium as a gift from the Wakandans.

Spider-Man, on the other hand, wore something entirely new. His suit was much more Iron Man-like, with a larger chest and shoulders. On each shoulder sat a small, mounted launcher, and he now had repulsor technology on his gloves and boots, along with programming for the nano particles to take shape into a reasonable variety of weapons. Not at all what he was used to, or even really comfortable with, but very necessary for the fight.

The basic idea of the trio's plan was to try and make an opening for Thor to make the killing blow, since the others didn't have the means to kill the Titan on their own. Revan didn't like the idea of having to rely on another so much, but it simply needed to be done.

"Hello again, Thanos," Revan called out to his foe, all of them stopping in their tracks several meters away from each other. "Finally come prepared this time?"

"I underestimated you last time, Revan," Thanos said. He spoke with an aggressive calmness. "It's a mistake I do not intend to make again."

"If you had properly estimated my ability, you would be surrendering right now," Revan spoke out of confidence.

Thanos looked beyond them to see their army. "Overconfidence is the downfall of many," he said. "What makes you think you can win?"

"Well, I wouldn't want to spill out my evil plan, now would I?" Revan said mockingly.

"A wise decision," Thanos said. "Surrounded, however, by poor ones." He paused a moment. "I have prepared for this for years. Do you really think you can stop me now, only just having entered the equation?"

"Yes," Revan simply replied.

"And why is that?" Thanos asked.

"Because I know what I'm doing," replied Revan. "Also, I don't like genocidal psychopaths."

Thanos looked disappointed by Revan's words. "I do what I do so that-"

"Shut up," Thor coldly interrupted.

Thanos was taken aback, and Thor continued to speak at Revan's obvious approval.

"I don't care what your excuses are," Thor said, but Revan could feel it was his hate that was speaking for him. "Call it balance, call it whatever you want. But you are a deranged psychopath and a murderer, and I don't care how you justify it. You are going to die today for what you've done to me, to Star Lord, to Stark, to everyone!"

Thanos seemed angered for a moment, but quickly regained his calm stature. "Fine," he said. As he spoke, his army began charging forward around them. Outriders, Chitauri, everything was there, in ten times the quantity. Perhaps Revan underestimated Thanos' military, because he could feel the fear rising within the ranks of the Wakandan army.

"I had hoped that perhaps you could see what I could," Thanos continued. "But it seems that won't happen." Thanos spun his double-ended blade and charged, Thor, Spider-Man, and Revan doing the same.

And so the battle began.

"Steady," T'Challa's voice rang through the air.

Outriders were in front, Chitauri behind with weapons ready, all charging. Chitauri air units were overtaking the ground forces slowly, and each Leviathan had at least six Chitauri Chariots as escorts, with many more to spare as individuals.

"Steady!"

The ground units were much closer now, growing in firing range. Problem was, the Wakandans would be in their range as well. Luckily for them, they happened to have the tactical advantage of shields in a protective formation. Not much was going to make it through.

"STEADY!"

The Outriders were 10 seconds away from firing range now. Many of the soldiers exchanged nervous glances, even some of the heroes doing the same.

"LAUNCH!" T'Challa cried out.

Within a moment, several dozen Wakandan aircraft emerged from the city, led by the Milano, piloted by Peter Quill, Rocket, Groot, and Mantis, and Iron Man and War Machine immediately went up to join them. The fighters caught the enemy off guard and took out several Chariots and a Leviathan, but the enemy air units quickly reorganized and used the Chariots' small size and speed to their advantage in combating the enemy.

And, finally, the Outriders were in range.

"FIRE!"

Immediately, a barrage of fire opened upon the Outriders, quickly and efficiently downing many of them. The Chitauri opened fire as well, but with friendly units in the way, it was limited in number. The Wakandan shields wavered not, and not a single Wakandan soldier was lost as the Outriders quickly dwindled.

But not quickly enough.

They had been whittled down by half, but they were still in a formidable number by the time they really began nearing the Wakandans.

Suddenly, a wall of lightning fell from the sky, and landed between them and the Outriders. It disintegrated many of the Outriders passing through, whittling them down further before it dissipated as suddenly as it came, exploding as it went, taking out more Outriders.

Now, there were a measly hundred Outriders out of the thousands that began their charge, and still none of the Wakandans were dead.

As the Outriders dwindled to nothing, the Chitauri intensified their fire, still charging as some Chariots gave them air support, which Stark and Rhodes attempted to dwindle.

Nevertheless, the Chariots managed to enact the first Wakandan casualties of the battle, the inevitable break of formation opening even more up to fire from the Chitauri.

"Fighting two battles at once, I see?" said Thanos to Revan, his hand stretched out as lightning formed a wall, stopping the Outriders from reaching the Wakandans as Spider-Man and Thor distracted Thanos.

Well, they were, anyway.

Quickly, Revan dissipated the wall with a bang as he activated his lightsabers to quickly block Thanos' downward strike. Every time the Titan struck, Revan needed to enhance his strength with the Force just so that he wouldn't be crushed under Thanos' physical strength.

Quickly, Thor struck Thanos' blade upward to relieve Revan. Thor immediately spun to channel his inertia, and struck Thanos again, which was blocked by the lower half of the blade as Revan struck Thanos' legs with his sabers - a tactic that was now even more useless, due to his near-invincible skin now being protected by near-invincible armor.

But that wasn't why he attacked. He was just keeping Thanos busy while Parker landed a missile on the Titan's face, which blurred his vision for a moment.

Revan had honestly never fought anything like Thanos before. Sith Lords were powerful, but aside from, say, Sion, you could usually kill them with a lightsaber. The only challenge was getting through their defense. Even Mandalorians, some with their lightsaber-resistant Beskar armor, weren't invincible.

Meanwhile, Revan threw what seemed to be an old space station of sorts at Thanos on Titan, and he walked it off like nothing. He hoped to the Force that Thor with his new axe, Stormbreaker, would prove strong enough.

Peter took advantage of Thanos' momentary blindness to kick him across the face, his new jet boots giving it greater speed and strength. Meanwhile, Thor attempted a sideways swing at Thanos' waist, which he quickly blocked as Parker's boot made contact with his helmet.

Retaliating against Thor, Thanos spun his blade, knocking Stormbreaker out of Thor's hands, and attempted to cut Thor in half.

He was, however, stopped by Revan, who struggled to hold Thanos' blade in place with the Force. In retaliation, Thanos let go of his blade, allowing Revan to pull it towards him. Quickly reacting, Revan jumped over the blade spinning towards him, barely dodging it as Thanos engaged Thor in a fistfight.

The Chitauri were growing ever nearer, the Wakandans - with no luck - attempting to scramble back into something manageable.

Those Chitauri would rip them to shreds if they got too close. Individually, they may not have been as skilled as the Wakandans, but the Chitauri were ten times larger in number.

From the sky came another burst of lightning, but this time it was of a more natural nature, instead mimicking a regular storm, the difference, of course, being that the lightning was blowing up everything on a small section of land filled with enemy troops.

The storm managed to whittle the Chitauri down to a force roughly six to seven times larger than the Wakandans, but it also managed to slow them down. Unfortunately, it, too, was short-lived.

It did, however, give Doctor Strange an idea.

"Everyone, behind me!" he cried out, and everyone listened.

In the manner he knew how, he made symbols with his hands and waved his arms, like he did on Titan. And, like on Titan, hundreds of copies of himself emerged from his body. This time, they all formed a line in front, all spaced a few meters from each other. In unison, they performed another motion with their hands, and shields grew from each of them, each one massive enough to overlap with the others, forming a protective wall.

"Get everyone in formation!" Strange struggled to yell out, his mind strained from the feat he was performing.

Within seconds, the Chitauri were on the shields, attempting to break through as Strange struggled to keep it up. Behind him, the Wakandan soldiers got themselves back into formation, the Avengers being protected with the first few layers, ready to fight once the wall was broken.

When they finally got back into formation, T'Challa ordered his men to move up directly behind Strange. Once behind Strange, T'Challa nodded to him. Strange nodded back, and he levitated back as his clones - and subsequently their shields - dissipated.

Immediately, T'Challa's men lunged forward with their spears, killing just about every Chitauri in the front row. They each then fired a shot, killing another row, before the Chitauri managed to get close enough to attempt to push against the Wakandan shields to break their formation. Meanwhile, the Wakandans managed to hold them off for at least a minute, taking out a few dozen more Chitauri with this strategy, before the aliens finally managed to break through.

And, as they did, out came the foe the Chitauri dreaded the most. The Avengers were now in play.

Most men Revan's age couldn't have jumped six feet into the air and do a three hundred and sixty degree spin sideways to avoid a spinning sword coming at him. Thankfully, Revan was powerful Force-user, so doing exactly that was no problem for him.

Thor had already re-engaged after starting a short-live lightning storm on the other side of the field, and was now keeping Thanos on the defensive with lightning powered strikes, which Thanos was blocking with his arms until his blade returned to his hand, at which point the odds quickly went on Thanos' side.

As Thanos attacked Thor, Spider-Man quickly turned it around with a web to Thanos eyes. He swiftly removed it, and grabbed Parker's leg as he attempted to kick the Titan mid-air. Thanos threw Parker into Revan as he was running to rejoin Thor. The two were knocked down, but quickly got back up.

Meanwhile, Thanos was now overpowering Thor, so Revan began shooting lightning at him from his fingers. Unsurprisingly at this point, Thanos blocked it with one hand while using his sword to keep Thor at bay with the other.

Revan realized he wasn't getting anywhere by trying to physically hurt Thanos, so he had another idea, reminiscent of his past, both as a Sith and, well, a teenager, actually.

He decided that he was now going to win simply by pissing off the Mad Titan.

On the other side of field, losses were now mounting.

For every three or four Chitauri killed, a Wakandan soldier fell. Normally, that wouldn't be a problem. Unfortunately, there was much more than three or four Chitauri per Wakandan.

On the bright side, the Avengers seemed to be making up for that loss. Captain America, for example, had already taken thirty kills in the first five minutes and already saved a few dozen soldiers from death. Black Widow was impressively catching up to him, and Stark and Rhodes had already garnered almost a hundred kills each.

Chitauri air support was proving to be a problem, however. Most of the Leviathans were still deploying troops, and the Chariots proved to be a big threat against infantry. Wilson, Stark, Rhodes, Strange did what they could, but there were too many for the four to negate their threat.

Five more minutes went by, and the Wakandan army was three quarters the size of what it was before the battle, and as whittled down as the enemy was, they still vastly outnumbered the Wakandans.

Lightning flashed on the other side of the field, Revan, Thor, and Spider-Man having engaged Thanos. Intervention from the other side would now be too dangerous, because all the troops on the field had intermingled too much, so the cost of such an action would be high on both sides - something that that the heroes could not afford.

Tony Stark took advantage of a moment of peace within the greater battle to gaze out on the three engaging Thanos. He only now realized how important he actually was to the larger battle, so he had to give Revan credit for that.

Nevertheless, he wished it hadn't been Peter. Contrary to what Revan said, resolve and ability isn't all that matters.

But the decision was made, and Tony didn't have time to think, so he continued the fight, driven by the hope of victory.

"Hey, wrinkle-chin!"

Holy shit, I'm a kriffing teenager again, Revan thought. Eh, why not?

"I ever tell you how stupid your plan actually is?"

"So you now want to mock me?" angrily replied the Titan.

"Nope, just laying out facts!" Revan happily replied. "Tell me, what did you think would happen if you were to succeed?"

"The universe would finally be in balance," Thanos replied.

"WRONG!" Revan proudly exclaimed. "Every society in the universe, knowing nothing other than the fact that half of everyone just vanished without a trace, never to return. Tell me, what would happen?"

"After everyone comes to terms," replied Thanos, calmly this time. "Resource consumption will drastically lower, and the universe can begin to heal, never to require correction for a long time, if ever again."

"Wrong again!" Revan said. "Every single society and religion would completely and utterly collapse. There would be wars, mass suicides," he continued while counting things on his fingers. "And, oh, famines, too! Because guess what? With society, trade collapses, too! Anyone without a farm will either starve or be driven to desperation. In a nutshell, after you kill half, at least half of the remainder dies, too! Sounds lovely, doesn't it?"

Thanos had to think for a moment to come up with a reply. "You overestimate their reactions," he simply said.

"Believe me, Thanos, people have a tendency to overreact. I can tell you from experience that the smallest epidemic can a drive a planet to near-madness. What do you think a sudden mass death would do?" Revan replied again. "And don't even get me started on how starvation actually works!"

"You haven't seen what I've seen, Sith," Thanos coldly replied.

Revan paused, the smile under his mask quickly fading. "What did you just call me?"

"You know what I said, Sith," Thanos replied, sensing that he now had the upper hand.

That's when a barrage of lightning hit Thanos, more intense than anything Revan had dished out before. And it actually hurt. And it wasn't a light pain, either. It was greater than any pain the Titan had felt in ages.

"I AM NOT A JEDI!" Revan cried out the lightning intensifying as Thanos struggled to lift up his arm.

"I AM NOT A SITH!" he continued, his fury clear as water.

"I AM REVAN!" he finished, but his lightning continued as Thor and Spider-Man paused to watch.

As Revan finished, several Chitauri Chariots began shooting at the trio. Revan deflected all of the shots going directly at him with his lightsaber, but an explosion knocked him to the ground as a shot managed to hit him directly.

Thor was unphased and quickly attacked. His powerful swings were each countered by the Titan. When Thanos began having trouble blocking Thor's attacks, he sent Thor flying with a kick. He landed on top of Peter, who was just now getting up.

Revan still lay on the ground, his ears ringing, quite sure that one or two of his ribs was broken. Thanos quickly walked up to him, and picked him up from the ground by his throat, giving it a squeeze.

Thanos used his free hand to remove Revan's mask and hood, casting his precious mask aside, and then looked him in the eye as he began strangling him, Revan struggling and squirming under Thanos' iron grip.

"You are certainly confident, Revan. Perhaps overconfident," Thanos began. "I once respected you, you know. You were as intelligent as you were powerful, and a foe that I believed to be worth honoring. But the trickery, the betrayal..." Thanos trailed off. "Your honor is an illusion. I called you Sith because that is what you still are. I know what you did."

To Thanos' surprise, Revan cracked a smile.

"If you know," Revan struggled to say. "Then you know... that I... have... the upper... hand... bastard..."

Just then, out of the air appeared a green figure with a blade of some sort, cutting Thanos in the eye and disappearing quicker than it came. Thanos dropped Revan as he momentarily went blind in one eye.

The green figure appeared again, kicking Thanos in the face as he tore off his helmet, then disappeared once more.

The figure appeared again, but this time, Thanos could react. He punched the green figure as it appeared, but this time, it faded into a cloud as he felt a cut on the back of his neck.

Thanos took a breath, and as the green figure appeared again, he let it fade when it attacked him as he grabbed the real one by the face, and slammed the figure on the ground. Then, Revan delivered a strong Force push, knocking the Titan back as he was distracted.

The green figure got up, revealing the face of Loki. "Revan," he acknowledged, and Revan acknowledged back. They stood side-by-side, ready to face the Mad Titan, as Peter and Thor walked up beside them, ready to finish the fight.

Thanos looked to them, rising from the kneeling position Revan forced him into. He once again readied his blade, but he looked more determined this time. And there was anger in his eyes, as well.

Revan smiled. The plan to anger Thanos went horribly, but, in the end, he seems to have succeeded at least a little.

"Loki, Peter, distract him," Revan ordered, to which they nodded. "Thor, keep bashing away at him until I open up a killbox for you. Once I get an opening, you take it." Thor nodded a response, as well.

Then, Revan looked to Thanos once more. "Now might be a good time to surrender," Revan said to him. "You now stand against two and a half gods, as well as Spider-Man."

"I am a god!" Thanos replied, growing anger seething through his voice.

"Not yet," Loki quickly shot back.

Thanos spun his blade and pointed it towards them. "Maybe," he said. "But things won't remain that way."

And the battle began anew.

Uh oh... what's Revan been up to?

Now, I expect to wrap up this battle by the end of next chapter, so stay tuned! And, once again, sorry for the inconvenience.
