Ben gasped heavily and sat right up. He stared in the distance and saw the machine destroyed. The only hope of destroying the Infinity Gauntlet was gone.

But in the distance he saw the Gauntlet on the ground.

Without thinking he charged to grab it, but Xanos was heading for it too.

"THAT'S MINE!" he yelled.

Ben grabbed the Gauntlet but Xanos grabbed it to.

Ben tried to use his thrusters to make him let go but Xanos wouldn't.

Maleficent suddenly got up and prepared to breathe fire but Xanos turned around and put Ben right in front of her, making her stop her attack.

Xanos finally hurled Ben off the Gauntlet and rammed him into Maleficent.

Xanos stared happily at the Gauntlet in his hand but was then attacked by Hulk.

Hulk pounded him into the ground repeatedly, but Xanos got him to let go by firing missiles from his back into him, sending him flying.

Then Adam, Katherine, and Dean all flew in to stop him. Katherine stabbed his armor with her laser blades and managed to destroy the front half of it, exposing his body.

But before she could stabbed him, Xanos blasted her away with lasers again. Dean came flying over with her sword aimed towards his heart, but he grabbed it with his robotic hand.

Dean however was managing to overpower him, pushing the sword closer and closer, and Adam jumped on Xanos' back and pulled on his arm he was using, trying to pull it into him.

But Xanos slammed Adam down on the ground by falling back and he rammed Dean into the ground and knocked her out.

One by one every hero and ex-villain attacked Xanos but he kept overpowering them. He finally blasted from his armor and entire explosive wave and knocked everyone away.

Finally, alone with everyone weakened, Xanos left his armor and put the Gauntlet on his hand. The energy from it was already surging through him.

"I'm ending this once and for all!" he yelled.

He made a snapping motion was his, but before he could snap, Thanos grabbed the Gauntlet hand and began to beat his son.

"No son," he said. "It's over for you!"

Xanos stared up with a bloodied face.

"You think you can stop me father?" he asked. "You think you can kill me?"

"No," said Thanos. "But I can stop you."

Thanos grabbed both sides of the Gauntlet's fingers with his hands and began pulling hard. Xanos fought back, but to his shock, his father was beginning to rip the Gauntlet in half.

It cracked and broke, and at the same time, Xanos' hand began ripping apart. Xanos screamed in pain as his own hand was being torn in half. Blood spurted everywhere.

"AGHH! NO! FATHER PLEASE!" Xanos screamed out as he was down on one knee.

"This is for your own good son!" Thanos yelled.

Xanos stared at the Gauntlet that was almost completely torn in half like his hand, but then he saw the stones.

Without thinking he took his other hand and grabbed the Power Stone, infusing his hand with power.

Thanos gasped and before he could do anything, Xanos punched him with a power infused punch that sent him flying.

Xanos gasped in pain as his hand was almost torn apart. Bones were now visible.

"Now no one can stop me," he said.

Ben was just starting to recover as he stared up. He watched in horror as Xanos was working on his Gauntlet.

He plucked the Power Stone back into its place and then he took the Reality Stone out.

"That man is a monster," Xanos said to himself as he activated the stone's power. "Almost tore my arm in half."

Xanos used the Reality Stone to repair the Gauntlet and his hand. Knowing it was now complete he plucked the stone back into the Gauntlet.

But just then, Ben grabbed the Gauntlet and tried to pull it away.

"NO!" he yelled. "I will not let you take everything away from me again!"

Xanos fought back and kneed Ben, punched him, and threw him away.

Ben gasped heavily as the wind had gotten knocked out of him. He stared up as Xanos stared at all the stones in his Gauntlet and fastened it in.

He stared down at Ben and grinned evilly.

"Silly boy," he said. "You still don't understand that this is all meant to be. There can only be balance when there is nothing to challenge evil."

"No..." gasped Ben.

"Oh but don't worry," said Xanos. "What I'm about to do to you, your friends, and your world, you're not even going to remember it."

"No!" gasped Ben.

"I told you two years ago," said Xanos. "Evil lives forever. I am evil incarnate. I am...forever."

"NO!" Ben yelled out.

Xanos took the Gauntlet and snapped.

And then there was only white light.
