Gamora was at the cliff of Vormir, she looked over and she just knew.. Deep inside that the Soul Stone was there. She had the map in her pocket. She felt a gust of wind and she turned to look back to see Aya, the Goddess of Protection, standing behind her with her sword.
"Gamora.. Daughter of Thanos" Aya commented and she looked at the green woman with narrowed eyes. Gamora nodded at Aya
"Aya.. Goddess of Protection" Gamora said and Aya shook her head "So you know me?" She questioned and Gamora nodded
"It's been my father's mission to find the stones.. He says that you're our number one enemy, that you must be killed at any cost." Gamora muttered. Aya was on guard as she took out her sword and she looked at Gamora "So what are you waiting for?" She said and Gamora was silent for a moment before she took out the map out of her pocket and she looked at it for a moment before shaking her head
"I am not his daughter.. I don't want him to win and to see his mission to be completed, I am here not to fight you.. But to help" Gamora said and Aya's eyes widen at first until they were narrowed "How can I trust you?" She asked and Gamora was silent
"You have no right to trust me.. But I need you to believe me when I say that I don't want Thanos to win.. He killed my parents, they never asked for this.. Neither did I. I want him dead" Gamora spoke in a low tone. Aya looking down for a moment before she whispered a spell and her sword suddenly caught on fire, she went towards the map and Gamora.. She handed Gamora the sword
"You burn this map.. You will leave Vormir and never speak of this to anyone, it will be our secret." Aya whispered. Gamora looked down before lowering the sword and letting the sword burn the map.. Gamora handing Aya back her sword and she nodded at the Goddess before starting to make her way back but she heard Aya called her name and she turned back
"Since we're on the topic of secrets.. There is something you must know, something you must take to your grave.."
A portal opened, it was in the windy mountains.. The sun was setting. Thanos, Sylvia and Gamora stepped out of the portal. Sylvia whining in pain as Thanos' men didn't bandage her up.. Gamora managed to stop the bleeding from Sylvia's stomach and tied Sylvia's jacket around her.. To make sure that some kind of bandage was around.
Gamora was helping Sylvia, making her girlfriend lean on her as they walked slowly behind Thanos. The Titan turned to them and narrowed his eyes as he looked back at the mountain and then the two girls..
"The stone had better be up there...For your sister's sake." Thanos muttered as he knew that threatening Sylvia wasn't the right choice.. He knew that his daughter cared for the woman next to her.. He knew that Gamora and Sylvia's love was stronger than he thought.
Sylvia was limping beside Gamora who had a grip on her waist. Sylvia looked down and then at Gamora who leaned her forehead on Sylvia's as she whispered "I promise.. We're going to get out of this.. I promise" She whispered. Sylvia was silent at first before nodding. They slowly made their way to the top of the mountain, a slight prayer was made.. Sylvia hoping that somehow maybe Anthea would find them, that she would save them.
Sylvia snapped out of her thoughts when Thanos stopped, his hand motioning them to stop and he was ready to defend Gamora when he saw a figure in a black cloak.. Floating in the air. The voice rough but also soft at the same time as he was guarding the entrance
"Welcome, Thanos, son of Eros. Gamora, daughter of Thanos. Sylvia, daughter of Yondu" The figure greeted and soon descended to the ground, Thanos looking puzzled
"You know us?" He asked and the figure started coming towards the three of them, Sylvia gripping on to Gamora's hand, ready to attempt to make a run for it.. But she knew it was no use.
"It is my curse to know all who journey here." The figure muttered. Thanos didn't look impressed as he made sure he was in view instead of Sylvia and Gamora. Thanos looking at the figure
"Where's the Soul Stone?" He asked and Sylvia noticed the tense tone in his voice, Gamora squeezing her hand as she was puzzled with the scene in front of her.. She didn't remember this figure when she came here? Why...?
Then it hit her.
This figure must have been afraid of Aya.. It didn't want to mess with Aya when she was here.
"We all think that at first." The figure said as he stepped out of the shadows.. Showing no other than The Red Skull himself, Riley's grandfather. "You should know...It extracts a terrible price."
"I am prepared." Thanos said without hesitation which caused Gamora and Sylvia to look at each other, both afraid what was going to happen to each other.
"How is it you know this place so well?" Thanos questioned as the group was making their way to the precipice, Gamora and Sylvia following behind as The Red Skull spoke
"A lifetime ago, I, too, sought the stones. I even held one in my hand. But she casted me out, banished me here.. She told me that I was not worthy of the stone. Guiding others to a treasure I cannot possess.. Hearing news of a granddaughter who is the opposite of me.." The Red Skull said bitterly as he looked back at Thanos "I know how you feel.. The disappointment you feel when your blood doesn't turn out the way you hope.. But can't help but be proud on how strong they how" Red Skull commented as he thought about his granddaughter, Riley.
They made their way to the edge of mountaintop, and stop at the precipice
"What you seek lies before you. As does what you fear." Red Skull mused and Thanos went towards the edge and he turned back at Red Skull with a questioning look "What's this?" He asked as the Red Skull nodded
"The price. Soul hold a special place among the Infinity Stones. You might say it has a certain wisdom." The Red Skull said with a expression on his face that Sylvia's couldn't read. Thanos didn't notice the expression but almost said it eagerly "Tell me what it needs."
"To ensure that whoever possesses it... Understands its power... The stone demands a sacrifice." Red Skull said and Sylvia felt her stomach drop a bit as she squeezed Gamora's hand who whispered "It's okay... It's okay"
"Of what?" Thanos asked and the Red Skull looked at Sylvia and then Gamora "In order to take the stone you must lose that which you love. A soul...For a soul." He said and Thanos was silent for a moment.. Sylvia's eyes widen as she thought.. Would Thanos make Gamora sacrifice Sylvia? Or vice versa? What would happen? In that moment, she knew that they wouldn't come back to Anthea or the Guardians alive.
All of a sudden Gamora began to laugh at the irony of the situation.. Not really understanding what was about to happen as she looked at Thanos
"All my life, I dreamed of a day...A moment when you would get what you deserved. And I was always so disappointed. But now...You kill and torture...And you call it mercy. The universe has judged you. You asked it for a prize, and it told you no. You failed. And do you wanna know why? Because you love nothing. No one." Gamora said as she suddenly felt a sense of victory.. Thanos would lose! His mission wouldn't be completed.. Sylvia and Gamora could go back home with the Guardians and live their life.. They would win
Thanos turned back to Sylvia and Gamora, tears in his eyes as he first looked at Sylvia and then at Gamora.. Sadness in his eyes. "No." He said softly and Gamora nearly scoffed as she shook her head "Really? Tears?" She asked.
The Red Skull looked at Gamora as she heard his voice "They're not for him." He said softly as Gamora looked back at Red Skull, and realized what was going to happen. Sylvia looked at Gamora as her girlfriend grabbed her hand and began backing up, Gamora standing in front of Sylvia, being protective. Thanos walking slowly towards them and Gamora shook her head
"No. This isn't love." Gamora's voice broke a bit and she looked back at Sylvia "What we have is love.. It's true love" Gamora whispered. Thanos stopped and shook his head "I ignored my destiny once. I cannot do that again. Even for you. I'm sorry, little one." He whispered.
Gamora stood there for a moment, with Sylvia behind her. Gamora tried to push Thanos back but it failed. Gamora took the double bladed knife that Thanos gave her as a child and tried to stab herself but it failed when Thanos turned it into bubbles with the Reality Stone.
Gamora looked down in shock before tears escaped her eyes, she looked up at Sylvia who was just as shocked as she looked at Gamora with tears in her eyes as well. Thanos finally went towards Gamora and grabbed her arm, starting to drag her back.
It felt like time stopped when Sylvia saw Thanos dragging her girlfriend away from her. It wasn't until without thought she ran after them and heard Gamora shout a 'NO!' and began hitting Thanos, trying to get him to release her.
Sylvia ran towards Gamora and grabbed her hand, Gamora's eyes softening when she saw Sylvia. Sylvia looking to see that they were almost at the edge and with all her might she tried to drag Gamora back but it was no use.. Thanos was stronger.
In that moment, Sylvia knew she was going to die. Because no life would be worth living if Gamora wasn't with her. Sylvia thought all her life she was destined to just be another royal family member to her race, that she would be Anthea's advisor when they were reunited. That Sylvia would just fall in love with some guy and start a family, making sure her children were the future of her race.
But it was quite the opposite.
Sylvia had fallen in love twice in her life, with Peter Quill and then Gamora. She experienced so much in her life as a Ravager thanks to her father.. Even being on good terms with her father just before his death. She found Anthea.. Her cousin sacrificing her life and happiness that day when Sylvia was in the pod and Anthea crashed in the ship..
Sylvia was able to live her life.. And not have one regret about it.
Thanos threw both Sylvia and Gamora over the cliff, both of them were clinging on to each other as they fell. Sylvia and Gamora looking at each other before Sylvia brining her into a hug.. Sylvia knew this was the end of their love story
"Marry me" Sylvia said suddenly and Gamora was in shock at first until she didn't hesitant
"Y-"
It was Gamora who died first from the impact.. Gamora mostly protecting Sylvia from the impact. Sylvia died moments later, calling for help. Calling for Anthea.. for Peter. Her family..
Sylvia died knowing that her cousin would avenge her.. That Anthea would somehow get Peter to remember her.. Because Sylvia was rooting for them.. From the start.
Author's Note:
Sylvia has died.
I think I knew from when I watched this movie the first time.. Sylvia would die, I think if she was alive, she would have went insane if she found out Gamora died..
I'm glad to have written Sylvia, she's a favorite of mine and she has grown a lot from when she was first written. She got to live her life to the fullest, made peace with her father.. Made peace with Quill. Found Anthea and getting the love of her life with Gamora.
I don't know if Sylvia will come back to life as Avengers 4 hasn't come back yet. It's also a matter if Guardians 3 would still happen. But as of now, Sylvia is pretty much dead.. No signs of coming back.
Anthea will take Sylvia's death hard.. As will Quill. They both loved her so much.
