"OK. everyone who hasn't been to space raise your hands" Rocket asked.
Cap, Nat and Rhodey rose their hands, along with Kimberly and Jason.
"Really? The Rangers...? Whatever. Alright then you better not throw up on my ship" Rocket says.
"OK approaching jump in three...two...one" Alita said as the ship jump into hyperspace
2 seconds later
"I think I'm going to lose everything I've ever eaten..." Jason groaned.
Trini held in vomit and dizziness.
"...Can we NOT do that on the way home?" Kimberly begged.
"Well, if you all wanna be 80 when we return to earth, then yeah." Rocket quipped as Carol flew out.
"Ill fly by for a recon" Carol said as she flew, leaving everyone in an empty silence until she returned moments later. "No satellites, no ships, no armies, no ground defences of any kind...its just him."
"And that's enough" Nebula said

It was a beautiful day.
Sun shining. Birds singing.
Armour acting as a scarecrow.
This was the ideal retirement.
Thanos picked some alien vegetables and headed back to his shack to prepare a meal. This was his life now, and he was happy. He could rest now...
Only for the Hulk-Buster armour to suddenly burst out of the ground and blast him to the side. Captain marvel then burst in and held Thanos down along with Rhodey and Bruce. The rangers were quick to follow, levelling their weapons at the Mad Titan as Thor flew in and chopped off the gauntlet arm.
Thanos screamed in pain as Cap and Nat ran into in his shack.
"Its over! Stand down!" Cap ordered as Rocket then looked at the gauntlet arm...only to find it burnt, the colour faded...and no stones in it
"Oh no" Rocket said aloud, getting everyone's attention.
"...What?" Kimberly asked in confusion.
"Where are they?" Steve asked
"Answer the question" Carol interjected, forcing Thanos to the floor.
"The universe required correction. After that? The stones served no purpose beyond temptation" Thanos explained
"You murdered trillions!" Bruce shouted as he pushed Thanos to the ground
"Oh more than that. You should be grateful" Thanos said as Trini punched him in the face and placed her daggers at his neck.
"Why should we? After we lost loved ones, our word has been trhwon into chaos? What the hell makes you think...?!"
"Because now the universe can thrive, without worry of limited resources" Thanos explained
"Where are the stones" Nat asked, although it was beginning to become clear.
"Gone. reduced to atoms" Thanos answered as he forced himself back up, holding the Hulk-Buster at bay and ignoring the blood dripping from him.
"You used them two days ago!" Bruce said, desperate to find something that would make Thanos slip up and reveal what had really happened.
Sadly, this was not to be.
"I used the stones to destroy the stones..." Thanos explained. "It nearly killed me...but the work is done and always will be.
In spite of the pain he was in, the Mad Titan managed to smile in pride as he said:
"I am inevitable"
Another voice cut in.
"And so was this."
Randy suddenly materialized in his Red Dragon suit and ran both his and Flokki's swords through the Mad Titan's chest, pushing him back until he was pinned to the wall.
"HOLY!"
"JESUS!"
"WHAT THE HELL!"
Randy didn't stop until he heard Thanos grunt and stifle a scream.
"THAT...Was for my brother." Randy snarled. "THIS? Is for everyone else."
Thanos gagged on his own blood in pain as Randy TWISTED the swords before pulling them out and swinging the blood off of them, The Red Dragon ranger...felt...
Disgusted.
He had wanted, no NEEDED this! So why was he...?
Thanos smiled through all the pain
"Passion..." He coughed. "...fades."
Randy suddenly turned red and vanished in a whisk of flames, materializing in his home.
"W-We have to tear this place apart, he has to be lying." Rhodey said.
"There's NO way anyone like you would just destroy the stones!" Jason desperately snapped.
"My father is many things...but a liar is not one of them" Nebula said
"Wait HES your father?!" Kimberly and Trini asked.
"Adopted?" Jason mused.
"Yes." Nebula explained, shame clear.
"Thank you daughter...perhaps i treated you too harshly" Thanos said with a sigh.
before Thor chops off his head and blood gets on Nebula's face
"Thor, what did you do?" Rocket asks
"...I went for the head." Thor answered as be stumbled out.
3 weeks later
In the aftermath of what would come to be known as, 'The Blip', things changed dramatically for all.
All conflicts ceased indefinitely and supply chains were placed horribly behind schedule, leading to mass shortages until just recently. After much debate and many vocal protests, it was discovered that anything that the Blipped left behind was to be split among the survivors.
The Rangers still protected Angel grove while Dr. Oliver from the other universe mentored them with Zordon.
When not training the alternate versions of himself and his original team, Dr. Oliver had the bittersweet luxury of spending time with his nephew, the surviving Dragon Rangers and his grand-niece. No monster activity had happened in his universe since the Blip, which all where thankful for. If anything, it helped distract him from all the friends and one or two lovers he had lost.
The Dragon Rangers themselves tried to keep busy in any way they could: Lily kept scourging any magical text she could find, hoping against hope to find some way of undoing the Snap. The normally joking Jet spent his free time setting up movie nights or memorials to those lost. And Randy temporarily quit school to help his sister-in-law and niece.
Sonic returned to living with his best friend, Tom the so called doughnut lord, in Green hills. Tom was often busy with increased duties as not only sheriff, but an on the call SF-PD officer. Even with the massively reduced crime, everyone needed all the help they could get. While understandably disappointed, Sonic was still happy for Tom. Whenever he was alone, he'd go running or help Tom's wife Maddie out in any way he could. He also began to train himself into the ground so that his speed would not fail him again.
New York had become quiet as everyone went their separate ways.
Alita had taken it upon herself to rid New York of the remaining crooks, robbers and villains in Peter's absence. All things considered and in no small part thanks to same aid Dr, Oliver sent her way, she was doing very well.
As for the Avengers?
Steve began filling in for Sam Wilson as a counsellor for a Blip anonymous group.
Natasha started an orphanage for 'Blip-displaced' children while searching for the missing Hawkeye.
Tony, now officially and truly retired from heroism, found himself enjoying family life with his wife Pepper...who was pregnant.

Nothing
He'd been floating for...how long?
Oh well, it didn't matter.
Peter was more bored than anything. No hunger. No thirst. He just floated. And he was bored of it.
'I thought death and the afterlife would be somewhat interesting...Or at least I'd be able to see mom, dad and Ben.'
Clunk
Wait, what was that?
Clunk.
He heard something...
Clunk!
Riiiip!
He now saw something...a mechanical hand reaching for him.
Suddenly invigorated, Peter let his webbing fly, hoping to bring someone with him to...
Well he didn't know where he was going, but ANYWHERE would be better than here!
He successfully himself snag six others before being pulled in.
Peter then turned to see who had brought with him...
He would not have time to do so, however, as:
"Stay right where you...OH ME GOSH! It's Spider-Man!"
The voice was not among those Peter had pulled out with him. No, it belonged to quite a...unique being.
"...a talking tortoise?" Peter asked aloud.
A talking turtle, one of four, each in a coloured headband.
"P-P-Peter?"
"Alita? What's going...?"
The cyborg silenced her friend with a hug just as rumbling was heard
"TRINI, SLOW DOWN!"
They looked over their shoulders to see the Sabertooth Tiger Zord racing towards them,
