The Warrior, the Elemental, and Thanos

Neither Drax nor Harmony knew exactly where they were at the moment, but they both didn't care. Harmony was freaking out over the fact that she had just been abducted by aliens and one girl made almost entirely of metal, while Drax was thrilled that at this very moment he was being brought to Thanos. He might've forgotten to take into account the fact that they were surrounded by almost a hundred guards, but a guy can dream can't he?

"Move along maggots!" The girl of metal shouted at them from up front. Harmony flinched at her sharp tone but kept her head down and moving. Drax though, felt the need to speak up.

"A maggot is a soft-bodied legless larva, especially that of a fly, found in decaying matter on Terra." He stated. "We are not soft-bodied legless larva and only she is of Terra, not I." Harmony felt like punching Drax as the girl with freaking spikes coming out of her back turned towards them with a not so nice expression on her face. With heavy footsteps that rang like gunshots across the odd space hallway, she marched forward and stopped in front of Drax. The girl barely came halfway up his chest but Drax looked uncomfortable under her glaring gaze.

"I did not give you permission to speak, did I." The girl hissed. The way she said those words made it seem more like a declaration then a question. Yet, Drax couldn't resist opening his big mouth could he?

"I do not need the permission of a small creature of metallic armor to speak!" He boomed. Harmony felt like melting into the darkness of the nearby corner like she always did at school, but at least 50 guards stood in her way. Metallic girl looked a little shocked for about 1.5 seconds before her composure hardened into that of, well, metal. Solid, steely, cold, unbreakable.

"You will obey my words!" Metallic girl shrieked. The floor groaned and heaved upwards underneath her till she was towering at least 5 inches above Drax's head. Now he had to crane his neck backwards to look at her. Spikes flew off her back and aimed at Drax's neck, posing just millimeters away from skewering him. "Now listen closely big man!" She shouted. "You are going to walk silently down this hall to your fate beneath the feet of the great and powerful Thanos! Another word out of you and I will not hesitate to remove your windpipe from your throat, do I make myself clear!" Drax nodded and Metallic girl lowered herself to the ground, her spikes staying by Drax's neck.

So not only is she made of metal but she can control metal as well! Harmony thought as more fear spread through her body. Grand, just freaking grand. The group continued down the hall until they reached what looked like a door engraved into the stone. Metallic girl rapped on the door and it lifted upwards allowing for Harmony, Drax, three guards, and the girl to walk through. The door shut behind them but Harmony barely noticed. They were standing outside, in space. They were standing outside in outer space. Harmony expected her airways to close off and her vision to go dark but instead she took a breath of oxygen.

Since when is there oxygen in outer space? Harmony thought. Then again, since when do odd stones that come from alien spacecrafts end up turning you and your friends into odd creatures of elements. Guess today's an impossible day, or someone put drugs into my food last night. Harmony was 75% sure this wasn't some odd drug induced nightmare, but a small 25% wasn't too sure at this point.

"Well I see you found one." A deep commanding voice boomed. Harmony snapped herself out of her thoughts and stared at the purple alien dressed in gold before her. He sat on a floating throne of rocks above them, the stars and galaxies framing the background. The guards pushed her and Drax into the center of a giant circular stone platform that made up most of the area. Rocks in odd shapes floated away from the platform and jutted up and inwards from the sides, making small fractured areas of shelter around the open space.

"Yes Thanos, this here is one of your desired elementals." Metallic girl said. She grabbed Harmony's arm fiercely and dragged her closer to the man in the chair. "This is the controller of wind, Tornado." Metallic girl thrust Harmony forward suddenly and she stumbled slightly.

"Thank you Titanium, you have been extremely helpful, thus far. Find me the other two, Inferno and Tsunami." Purple man said. He waved his hand dismissively and then stared down at Harmony with an evil seeming glint in his eyes.

"Wait, what is all this nonsense about elementals?" Harmony asked. "I've been hearing about this nonstop all day and I want to know what's going on." Drax, Titanium (Which Harmony noted was a good title for her), and this Thanos guy all were watching her. "One moment I'm sifting through chunks of spaceship and the next I'm grabbing a red stone of sorts and then I'm made of wind the next moment! To top it all off there's this sort of prophecy around me and my two friends, one of which I watched burst into living flames and the other who turned into a freaking waterfall, and now I'm being dragged into outer space before an alien who expects me to understand what the hell happened to me when I held that stone. Well I don't know!"

"You held the Reality Stone." Thanos murmured with a look of shock. "You unlocked your power already." His voice got louder. "Those stupid entities hid in the stone and then transmitted into you when you held the stone!" His voice shook the platform. Harmony tried to step backwards but two guards pushed her forward again. Thanos leaned down closer to Harmony. "You girl, deserve no answers. Now tell me, where are the other two elements?" Harmony felt like a small speck of dust under his gaze but she refused to give away her friends. Heck, she wasn't even 100% sure where they exactly were!

"The girl does not know of such things Thanos!" Drax's voice boomed. Thanos looked up as if he just now saw that Drax was there. "I on the other hand," Drax continued. "Have a small debt to settle with you!" Harmony felt herself gently step away from the guards flanking her. Either Drax was purposefully giving her a chance to escape or he was a moron. She was't entirely sure which one though.

"And who are you?" Thanos asked with a bored expression on his face. Then he smiled. "Oh, I remember. You're one of those putrid Guardians of the Galaxy, the group of misfit bandits that stopped the destruction of Xandar, and killed Ronan." Thanos laughed heartily. "You're Drax the Destroyer, you were on a quest of vengeance against Ronan, for what, I'm not sure."

"Ronan killed my family, by your order. Ronan has already answered for his crimes, and now you will as well." Drax threatened. Harmony came to the conclusion that Drax was indeed a moron. With a battle cry leaving his mouth Drax drew two swords from his pockets and slashed at the guard holding him before dodging the spikes at his neck and charging to Thanos. Harmony got knocked to the side as her two guards charged Drax. Thanos sat back and actually seemed to be enjoying himself as five more guards rushed Drax.

All of a sudden Harmony felt anger welling up inside of her. Anger at Thanos for not telling her about the apparent prophecy she was a part of. Anger at Titanium for being so powerful yet so evil. Anger at that stone for giving her these powers. Anger at Alexi for wanting to see what had crashed in the backyard. Anger at Courtney for wanting to help these aliens. Anger at the Guardians for ever crashing on Earth. Anger at the guards for following this guy's orders. Anger at herself for being so useless to help her friend. Anger at the whole universe for throwing everything it could possibly think of on top of her shoulders. Anger, just pure raw anger at everything and everyone. Anger that was broiling in her stomach, burning in her lungs, clawing up her throat, and lunging out of her mouth in the form of a wailing banshee.

It was then that Harmony realized that she was actually screaming. And hovering in mid-air. And made of swirling wind.

"Tornado." Thanos whispered in awe. Harmony screamed louder as her rage overflowed. He wasn't even terrified of her! He wasn't even in fear of what she could do! Did he think he could control her or something! Did he think she could be tamed like a pet! Harmony or Tornado or whoever she was, no one could control her.

Harmony let out a screech that shook the platform, throwing everyone to the floor. With a fling of her hands she sent all the guards fling over the edge into the vast space beyond. More guards came running out only to have their bodies flung away with her swirling winds. Titanium threw a metallic spike at her but Harmony deflected it and the spike struck Thanos chair. Then Harmony grabbed Titanium in her winds and flung her across the platform into an outcropping of rocks. Drax bashed in the heads of some still firing guards. With a final whisk of her hand Harmony threw Thanos chair out of the sky and to the stone platform down below.

"You are definitely one powerful elemental." Drax called to her. Harmony felt a smile spread over her face as the anger melted away. As quickly as the winds had come over her they were gone and Harmony was laying on the ground feeling jet-lagged. Drax helped her up. "We must go before reinforcements come." He mentioned. Harmony nodded wordlessly and the two took off running. They leaped over fallen bodies and made it out of the chamber as more guards rounded the corner behind them.

"You will pay for this elemental girl!" Thanos called. "You can not run forever!"

"I don't think they're chasing us." Harmony panted as the two continued down the hall they had been paraded through just minutes before. "Let's find some way to get out of here." It wasn't until they smashed headfirst into two bodies that they realized they hadn't slowed down. They also realized they had hit two floating bodies, one made of roaring fire, the other of flowing water.
