Chapter 9: Titan and Vormir.

On board the Sanctuary II, Nebula was still hanging from the torture room as one of Thanos' Chitauri henchmen was putting her back together after Thanos took Gamora to Vormir. Nebula knows that this is an opportunity for her to escape. Nebula then loosen her cybernetic left eye, gaining the Chitauri soldier's attention. The Chitauri then put the eye back and as soon as it did, Nebula grabbed its arm before killing it by snapping its neck. Once she managed to get free and get a new cybernetic arm, Nebula then went to the monitor to contact the Guardians.

"Mantis, listen very carefully. I need you to meet me on Titan." Nebula said, sending a message to Mantis.


Meanwhile, on board the Q-Ship, Tony, Peter Parker and Stephen sees that the ship has arrived at its designation as it already entered a planet's atmosphere. They then see the ship is nearing the ground and some large objects.

"Hey, what's going on?" Peter Parker asked.

"I think we're here." Stephen replied.

"I don't think this rig has a self-park function." Tony said as he realized the ship is going to crash and he heads to the controls. "Get your hand inside the steering gimbal. Close those around it. You understand." Tony ordered Peter Parker as he did what he was told.

"Yep, I got it." Peter Parker said.

"This was meant for one big guy, so we gotta move at the same time." Tony said.

"Okay, okay. Ready." Peter Parker said.

Peter Parker and Tony begins to steer the Q-ship. They then see that they are about to crash into a very large building structure.

"We might wanna turn. Turn! Turn! Turn!" Peter Parker said as he tries to turn the ship and Tony suit up.

Tony and Peter Parker tried to turn the ship around from the large structure but ended up crashing into it, destroying a part of the ship. Stephen then use his magic to summon a large holographic mandala shield to protect Peter Parker, Tony and himself from the impact. Moments later, the Q-Ship crashed land before settling to a stop, on the barren planet called Titan. Everyone survived the impact.

"You all right?" Stephen asked as he checks on the others.

"That was close. I owe you one." Tony said as Peter Parker appears as he hangs on a web upside down.

"Let me just say, if aliens wind up implanting eggs in my chest or something and I eat one of you, I'm sorry." Peter Parker said.

"I do not want another single pop culture reference out of you for the rest of the trip. You understand?" Tony said in annoyance.

"I'm trying to say that something is coming." Peter Parker warned.

Suddenly, Peter Parker, Stephen and Tony didn't have time to react as a grenade appeared and detonated in front of them, separating them. At that moment, Mantis, Drax and Peter Quill entered inside the ship and ready to fight, which the three Avengers noticed.

"Thanos!" Peter Quill called out.

Drax immediately threw knives at Stephen, but he immediately summon a Tao Mandala to block the attack. Drax was about to charge when Stephen made the Clock of Levitation knock Drax down. Peter Quill then use his jet boot attachments to fly while firing his Quad Blasters at Tony. Tony however retaliated by firing his repulsors and fly to pursue Peter Quill. Tony fired a missile at Peter Quill, which managed to knock him down. Tony then tackled him, not realizing that Peter Quill has place a Gravity Mine on his armor and made him stuck to a wall. Meanwhile, Peter Parker has woken up from the ground and becomes startled upon seeing Mantis approaching him.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Please don't put your eggs in me!" Peter Parker said before webbing Mantis.

Peter Parker was however kicked away by Peter Quill.

"Stay down, clown." Peter Quill said.

Peter Quill fired his Quad Blasters at Peter Parker, but he managed to evade. Peter Parker then tried to charge at Peter Quill using his artifact spider legs, but Quill threw energy bolas at him, entangling him and his legs. At the same time, Drax was still fighting the Cloak of Levitation.

"Die, blanket of death!" Drax hollered.

Afterwards, Tony got free and managed to pin Drax while Peter Quill managed to hold Peter Parker hostage and Stephen still summoning a Tao Mandala. Peter Quill aims his Quad Blaster at Peter Parker while Tony aims his repulsors at Peter Quill and Drax.

"Everybody, stay where you are. Chill the eff out." Peter Quill said before deactivating his helmet and aiming his Quad Blaster at Tony. "I'm gonna ask you this one time. Where is Gamora?"

"Yeah. I'll do you one better. Who's Gamora?" Tony said as he lifts his facemask.

"I'll do you one better. Why is Gamora?" Drax asked.

"Tell me where the girl is or I swear to you I'm gonna French fry this little freak." Peter Quill threatened, aiming his Quad Blaster at Peter Parker.

"Let's do it. You shoot my guy and I'll blast him. Let's go!" Tony countering, threatening to kill Drax as he materializing a giant blaster over Drax's head.

"Do it, Quill! I can take it." Drax said.

"No, he can't take it!" Mantis said, concerned for Drax.

"She's right! You can't." Stephen said.

"Oh, yeah? You don't wanna tell me where she is? That's fine. I'll kill all three of you and I'll beat it out of Thanos myself. Starting with you." Peter Quill said, threatening Peter Parker and confusing the three Avengers.

"Wait, what, Thanos? All right, let me ask you this one time. What master do you serve?" Stephen asked.

"What master do I serve? What am I supposed to say, 'Jesus'?" Peter Quill replied, making Tony realized that he's a Human.

"You're from Earth." Tony said.

"I'm not from Earth, I'm from Missouri." Peter Quill lied.

"Yeah, that's on Earth, dipshit. What are you hassling us for?" Tony asked, realized that the Guardians are on the same side.

"So you're not with Thanos?" Peter Parker asked, making Peter Quill look at him in disgust.

"With Thanos? No, I'm here to kill Thanos. He took my girl. Wait, who are you?" Peter Quill asked, as Peter Parker lifts his facemask.

"We're the Avengers, man." Peter Parker replied.

"Oh." Peter Quill said, remembering Thor mentioning them and lets go of Peter Parker, realizing that they're friendly.

"You're the ones Thor told us about." Mantis said, gaining Tony's attention.

"You know Thor?" Tony asked.

"Yeah. Tall guy, not that good looking, needed saving." Peter Quill replied, making Peter Parker look at him strangely.

"Where is he now?" Stephen asked.


On Nidavellir, Thor, Eitri, Rocket, Groot, Daranak and Salzer were walking towards the workshop as they get prepare to help Thor forge a weapon and repair Nidavellir. They see a large Uru metal ingot.

"This is the plan? We're gonna hit him with a brick?" Rocket asked.

"It's a mold." Eitri replied.

"It's the ingots, Rocket." Daranak said.

"Those things are needed to melt the medal, Rocket. So, this is the mold for the weapon?" Salzer asked.

"A king's weapon. Meant to be the greatest in Asgard. In theory, it could even summon the Bifrost." Eitri replied.

"Wow." Salzer said in awe.

"Did it have a name?" Thor asked.

"Stormbreaker." Eitri replied.

"That's a bit much." Rocket said.

"Oh, that's a heck of a name for a weapon." Daranak said.

"So how do we make it?" Thor asked.

"You'll have to restart the forge. Awaken the heart of a dying star." Eitri said as he looks at the neutron star Nidavellir, which serves as the forge.

"Rabbit, fire up the pod. Daranak, Salzer, help Eitri." Thor said.

With that, Thor, Eitri, Rocket, Daranak and Salzer then start preparations to restart and reignite Nidavellir and its forge as Groot sits idle.


Back at Titan, after introducing themselves, Guardians Peter Quill, Mantis and Drax, and Avengers Tony, Stephen and Peter Parker goes outside the Q-Ship to survey their surroundings. The sky is burnt orange and brown, the upper atmosphere is ravaged with electrical storms and they see many broken remains of a city littering the surface. Peter Quill also noticed some problems with the planet as he measures it.

"The hell happened to this planet? It's eight degrees off its axis. Gravitational pull is all over the place." Peter Quill said.

"Yeah, we got one advantage. He's coming to us. We'll use it. All right, I have a plan. Or at least the beginnings of one. It's pretty simple. We draw him in, pin him down, get what we need. Definitely don't wanna dance with this guy. We just want the gauntlet." Tony said.

Tony then look and become annoyed upon seeing Drax yawning in the middle of the plan.

"Are you yawning? In the middle of this, while I'm breaking it down? Huh? Did you hear what I said." Tony asked.

"I stopped listening after you said, 'We need a plan'." Drax replied.

"Okay, Mr. Clean is on his own page." Tony remarked.

"See, 'not winging it' isn't really what they do." Peter Quill said.

"Uh, what exactly is it they do?" Peter Parker asked.

"Kick names, take ass." Mantis answered.

"Yeah, that's right." Drax said, not realizing Mantis' mistake on her answer.

Peter Parker and especially Tony became dumbfounded upon hear Drax and Mantis, definitely not having confidence to the three Guardians. Tony then sigh to calm down.

"All right, just get over here, please. Mr. Lord, can you get your folks to circle up?" Tony said.

"'Mr. Lord'. Star-Lord is fine." Peter Quill said as he ordered Drax and Mantis to gathered up.

"We gotta coalesce. 'Cause if all we come at him with is a plucky attitude..."

"Dude..." Peter Quill said, cutting Tony off. "... don't call us plucky. We don't know what it means. All right, we're optimistic, yes. I like you plan. Except it sucks, so let me do the plan and that way it might be really good."

"Tell him about the dance-off to save the universe." Drax said, remembering the dance-off Peter Quill did on Xandar four years ago.

"What dance-off?" Tony asked.

"It's nothing." Peter Quill stammered.

"Like in Footloose, the movie?" Peter Parker asked.

"Exactly like Footloose. Is it still the greatest movie in history?" Peter Quill asked happily.

"It never was." Peter Parker replied.

"Don't encourage this, all right?" Tony said.

"Okay." Peter Parker said.

"We're getting no help from Flash Gordon here." Tony said.

"Flash Gordon? By the way, that's a compliment. Don't forget, I'm half human. So that 50% of me that's stupid, that's 100% you." Peter Quill remarked.

"Your math is blowing my mind." Tony said.

As Tony and Peter Quill started to bicker towards each other, Mantis saw Stephen doing something odd.

"Excuse me. But does your friend often do that?" Mantis asked Tony.

Tony, Drax, Mantis and the two Peters noticed Stephen levitating and surrounded by the Time Stone's energy.

"Strange, we all right?" Tony asked.

Stephen had activated the Time Stone and was using his time manipulation powers to find a way for the Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy to win against Thanos, as he moves his head very fast. Stephen then comes out of the Time Stone's power, gasping and breathing as Tony aids him.

"You're back. You're all right." Tony said.

"Hi." Stephen said.

"Hey, what was that?" Peter Parker asked.

"I went forward in time to view alternate futures. To see all the possible outcomes of the coming conflict." Stephen replied.

"How many did you see?" Peter Quill asked.

"Fourteen million, six hundred and five." Stephen replied.

"How many did we win?" Tony asked.

Stephen was silent for a moment before putting on a serious look on his face.

"One." Stephen replied.


Meanwhile, Thanos and Gamora has arrived on the barren planet of Vormir. Upon arriving on Vormir, Thanos and Gamora found themselves in a desert surrounded by pools of water under a dark sky and eclipsed sun. The two stood at the base of a great mountain, atop which stood a tall altar.

"The stone had better be up there. For your sister's sake." Thanos warned.

As Thanos and Gamora scaled the mountain towards the altar's entrance, they encountered a cloaked, levitating and shallowly figure, who is the ethereal wraith and the guardian of the Soul Stone.

"Welcome, Thanos, son of Alars. Gamora, daughter of Thanos." the Stonekeeper greeted with a echo.

"You know us?" Thanos asked, questioning the Stonekeeper as to how he knew their identities.

"It is my curse to know all who journey here." the Stonekeeper replied.

"Where is the Soul Stone?" Thanos demanded.

"You should know, it extracts a terrible price." the Stonekeeper warned.

"I am prepared." Thanos said as the Stonekeeper lands gently on the ground.

"We all think that at first." the Stonekeeper said.

The Stonekeeper then stepped out of the shadows to reveal himself. It was a Human, but not just any Human as his face is horribly disfigured and someone that the Earth thought was killed 73 years ago. It was Johann Schmidt, better known as the Red Skull! The former Nazi German Obergruppenführer and the banished and former leader of HYDRA, as well as the enemy of Captain America, Peggy Carter, Colonel Chester Phillips, Howard Stark and Harry Fenton. Turns out Johann Schmidt is still alive and has been living alone on Vormir for over 70 years ever since he was teleported from Earth by the Tesseract, which held the Space Stone, during his fight against Steve on the Valkyrie aircraft during the final days of the European theater of World War Two. Now he is cursed and serves as the guardian for the stone Thanos is looking for. Johann looks at Thanos with a serious look on his face.

"We are all wrong." Johann said.

Minutes later, Johann is leading Thanos and Gamora deeper into the altar.

"How is it you know this place so well?" Thanos asked.

"A lifetime ago, I, too, sought the stones. I even held one in my hand. But it cast me out, banished me here. Guiding others to a treasure I cannot possess." Johann replied, recalling how he held the Tesseract during his fight against Steve 73 years ago and got teleported to Vormir where he became the Soul Stone's Stonekeeper.

Johann then brought Thanos and Gamora to a cliff at the end of the altar.

"What you seek lies in front of you. As does what you fear." Johann said.

"What's this?" Gamora asked as she looks down the cliff.

"The price. Soul holds a special place among the Infinity Stones. You might say it has a certain wisdom." Johann replied.

"Tell me what it needs." Thanos said.

"To ensure that whoever possesses it understands its power. The stone demands a sacrifice." Johann said.

"Of what?" Thanos asked.

"In order to take the stone, you must lose that which you love. A soul for a soul." Johann informed, astonishing Thanos.

Upon hearing what Johann said, Gamora becomes amused and started to laugh at Thanos.

"All my life, I dreamed of a day, a moment when you got 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 taunted.

Suddenly, Thanos turned around to face Gamora, revealing that he was crying.

"No." Thanos said as he cry.

"Really? Tears?" Gamora said, believing Thanos is weeping due to his failure.

"They're not for him." Johann informed, seeing Thanos' true intentions.

Genuinely surprised and in disbelief, Gamora could not comprehend that Thanos ever showed genuine love for her. Thanos then started to approach Gamora, making her walk back.

"No. This isn't love." Gamora said, still couldn't accept the fact that Thanos loves her.

"I ignored my destiny once. I cannot do that again. Even for you." Thanos said.

Upon realizing that Thanos does love her, Gamora quickly took her switchblade from Thanos's belt and she attempted to kill herself. However, Thanos use the Reality Stone on his Infinity Gauntlet to turn the switchblade into bubbles, once Gamora open her hands.

"I'm sorry, little one." Thanos said tearfully.

Thanos then proceed to grab Gamora's arm and drag her towards the edge of the cliff. Despite his reluctance and her frantic screams, Thanos threw Gamora off the cliff to her death. Once she impacted the ground below and dies, the altar began to release energy, consuming Thanos as he tearfully shut his eyes. A few minutes later, Thanos woke up, finding himself lying in a shallow pool at the base of the mountain. He then lifts his right hand to see that he now has a fourth Infinity Stone; the powerful and deadly orange Soul Stone.

And that's the end of this chapter. Oh, Drax and Mantis, what are you gonna do with you two? Tony's reaction was funny. That's gonna be a meme someday, lol. Wow, one victory out of fourteen million, six hundred and five alternate futures/outcomes. Looks like Clockwork isn't the only one that can see alternate futures. When you realized Stephen watched Avengers 4 before any of us. Well, I was surprised to see red Skull again. I always wonder what happen to him ever since he touched the Tesseract in Captain America: The First Avenger. I knew he got teleported but always wonder where. I can imagined Steve's reaction if he were to see him in Avengers 4, if that's gonna happen. RIP Gamora. Some stepfather Thanos is. Well, Thanos got four out of six Infinity Stones. Well, next chapter, the start of the Battle of Wakanda, the forging of Stormbreaker, and Salzer's dream is about to come true. That's right, Daranak and Salzer's arrival on Earth. Please review. :)
