The enormous shipped docked itself above the innocent ship forcing themselves inside. In a panic, Thor, Loki, and Sakura had stayed put asking those who cannot fight to flee the ship as soon as possible. Hulk hid away as a backup plan in case anything had gone wrong seeing as how they've never faced an enemy quite like this before. Waiting for them to enter through the double doors Loki pushed Sakura away staring at the frightened running crowd behind her.
"Go with them. If you stay here with us you'll die. I won't let you die here. Take as many as you possibly can and go to earth. Find this group of warriors called The Avengers."
"You said I could fight by your side from now on. I'm they're Queen it's my job to stand a fight for them while they escape. If I go with them that's one less living child." Sakura complained as Loki placed his hand on her belly.
"You are pregnant..." Loki said smiling for only a moment, "So no... We will have one less living child if I allow you to fight like this. I love you more than anything, but I'm afraid of what will happen to you."
For only a moment she stepped back holding her slightly inflated belly. She pushed forward tightly gripping Loki's arm hugging him gently and smiling uncontrollably. Thor smiled as well giving Loki a pat on the back as a congratulatory gesture.
"I'm grateful we are having a new baby in the family however, brother, who are these criminals?" Thor aggressively asked holding him up by his collar.
"Thor!" Sakura screamed attempting to yank his grip away.
"He's here..." Loki choked.
"Who's here?" Thor asked, "And why would you need our help. Why should I call the rest of the Avengers to help us?"
"Thanos. He used me to get to the Tesseract." Loki said as Thor released him.
"He must think you have it. We have to explain to him you don't have the Tesseract, and he will leave us alone. The rest of them will evacuate just to be safe." Sakura said.
"This vessel can only evacuate less than half of the people aboard this ship." Thor sighed.
"Then it's settled I will stay here." Sakura smiled.
"Can you at least hide?" Loki said, "He has an army and it's only the four of us...."
"Fine!" Sakura complained walking away.
Quickly leaving the scene she hid low behind an indent in the wall. Covered on all sides but one she was at least able to see them. The door slid open and a few monstrous creatures passed through. Immediately after a Mad Titan had set his large feet aboard the ship. By looking at him Sakura's heart raced and she continued to quietly lower herself to the floor. The Titan faced Loki almost touching each other with an unpleasant look on his face.
"I can't thank you enough for finding the Space Stone for me, Loki. Now do me a favor and hand it over." The Mad Titan demanded.
"Nice to see you again too, Thanos. I don't know if you are aware of this but on Earth, I was captured after attacking them, so I no longer possess the Tesseract." Loki smiled.
His army surrounded them and a female with black horns and a black devilish paint splashed over her face held up a knife to Loki's neck. She smiled and whispered to him to give up the stone or else blood will be shed. Loki stopped smiling and stared back at her without a word.
"Kill everyone on board the ship until they speak," Thanos ordered.
A crowd of soldiers marched through the hallways of the ship slicing and gutting innocent children in front of they're mothers. Wives murdered in front of their husbands while the men die from a stab wound from the back hovering over dead family members. Those who did escape managed to survive, but those who stayed behind didn't even have a chance at survival.
"Leave them alone they have nothing to do with this! Why are you killing innocent lives?" Thor cried out.
"You are not telling me what I want to hear, thus I will every last Asgardian here until you tell me where it is," Thanos replied.
"The Tesseract isn't here!" Loki cried out.
"Then where is it?" Thano's asked.
"We left it on Asgard. Burned to the ground. Our planet was destroyed. We don't have the Tesseract!" Thor shouted.
He showed the brothers his Infinity Gauntlet and piled mountains of steel from the ship over Thor holding him up. His enormous hands gripped Thor's head like melon ready to be squashed. He smiled at the two of them prepared to do anything to rule the universe.
"You have two options. The first option is you tell me where the stone is and we will leave peacefully depending on what you say. The second option is if you don't tell us where the stone is I'll kill your brother and blow up this tiny vessel."
"Kill away...."Loki said with the most horrified look on his face.
Using his finger and the power of the stone he had already possessed he pressed on Thor's eye socket almost killing him. He screamed in agony bleeding all over himself. Sakura pulled herself away for a moment then turned back to see them thinking of what could she possibly do without killing herself in the process. She is nowhere near as strong as Thor or Loki and yet even they are no match for the Mad Titan. A tear rolled down Loki's cheek as he was heavily breathing.
"Loki give up the stone! It's not worth our lives. We will call for help on other planets and warn them of Thano's. Please! The world needs the two of you alive! Think about the child!" Sakura said telepathically.
"Alright stop!" Loki shouted revealing the Tesseract, "You want this so bad! You'll have to fight for it. We have a Hulk."
Above Loki, a furious giant muscular green man jumped over him attacking Thanos. They fight furiously throwing punches and throwing each other around. Eventually, Hulk collapses from the hits and Loki backed away as far as he could heavily breathing. The green began to fade in Hulk. He noticed Sakura cowering in the corner holding her mouth crying. She lifted her arm slightly covering her hand in a magical green glow directing her powers at Hulk.
"Please find help...please!" Sakura cried out in Hulks's mind.
Below him, a transport portal had opened up, and Hulk was cast out to the earth. Knowing the boys they wouldn't be too happy if she moved them out of the ship. As a new sorceress, she's unable to move an entire ship either. In all of the madness, Loki dropped the Tesseract. Thanos's right hand picked up the Tesseract handing it to Thanos. He shattered the glass casing revealing a tiny stone at his fingertips attaching the little glowing stone to his gauntlet. His power will be unstoppable if he continues to retrieve the other stones.
"Now go and find me the rest of the infinity stones on Earth. I will search for the rest on my own."
Behind Loki's back, he tightly gripped a dagger as he offered his allegiance to Thanos. In fear, he glanced over to Sakura and telepathically communicated to her as his conversation with Thano's continued.
"I'm sorry, Sakura."
"No Loki don't you dare. I will stand and fight for you or with you but I will not allow you to stand alone."
"This might be the last time we see each other... Take good care of our child."
"No...! No!"
He gripped his dagger tightly swinging it at Thano's. Suddenly before he could reach Thanos gripped him tightly pissed at his betrayal. He reached for his throat and a sudden ghostly green burst threw Thanos in the opposite direction. Thor still bound by metal screamed in a panic as Sakura appeared within the green burst. Thanos jumped back to his feet throwing his fist at Sakura, but a strong barrier flung his fist back.
"I wouldn't touch her if I were you, sir." The alien-looking man said.
"Who is she?" Thanos asked.
"This young maiden is the Queen of Asgard clearly protected by the Former Queen. She may know how to locate the other stones."
"I don't know you!" Sakura yelled out.
"My name is Ebony Maw of the Black Order. I have similar skills as you, but I am no sorcerer. I am gifted with knowledge."
"What makes you think I know where the stones are?"
"Sakura don't say a word!" Loki said before being pushed aside, "When did my mother place a protective spell you? She's more stealthy than I am."
"You are connected with the Royal Family that's why. You know all of their secrets. Frigga has taught you everything she knew before her death and yet you continue to grow and became more knowledgeable as well." Ebony Maw said.
"If I tell you where to locate a stone... Can you leave us alone?" Sakura panicked.
"If what you tell us is true." Thanos smiled.
"New York City."
"Which stone is it?" Thanos said as he walked closer to her.
"I uh-"
"Wrong answer!" Thanos said about to snap his finger.
As Thano's attacked her Loki had thrown her aside to face whatever death she would have had to face. He strangled Loki's neck waiting for that loud snapping sound as his body had gone limp. Blood pooled out from his nose, eyes, and ears. Thanos tossed his lifeless body to the ground as the Black order and he left the ship releasing Thor from his shackles. Sakura and Thor shouted and cried for help as the ship slowly torn apart.
"I'm sorry. I did this to you." Sakura cried kissing him on the forehead.
"No this is not your fault. Don't ever say that. This was Thanos, and he made a big mistake leaving us alive." Thor aggressively said.
The ship exploded scattering everyone's body across the vast space. Thor and Sakura had been floating as she cast a spell between the two of them to stay alive. In shock, he fell asleep and not too soon after Sakura had joined him in their slumber. Maybe it's best to be asleep than to float along with the dead bodies only to become one of them. Not too long after a small spacecraft pulled the two of them inside and laid them both on tables fit to their sizes. Thor had already awoken to explain the situation, and how bad it really is. A woman with antennas sticking up from her head delicately touched her skull to feel her emotions.
"She is in agonizing pain. She lost someone important to her. Her loss is so great she has thoughts of taking her own life. Maybe that's why she's still sleeping." The female said as she hovered over to her stomach, "And she is with child..."
"Mantis step away from her. We don't know if she will attack when she wakes up." Star-Lord said.
"We need to be careful with her. Who is she?" Gamora asked.
"Short story short I decided to share the throne of Asgard with my brother, and this is his wife. Meaning she is the Queen of Asgard so I prefer you would treat her with care. Thanos killed my brother and her lover." Thor said brushing her hair with his fingertips.
As she slept throughout the search to stop Thanos her eyes awoke in a smaller vessel containing only Thor and a few other mysterious creatures she's never seen before. They were discussing how Thor would retrieve a new weapon on another planet alerting her that she was in a safe place. She opened her eyes and focused on the stars beyond the glass. A soft fleece blanket covered her body while curled up in a chair. A humanoid tree figure only a few inches away from her laying on another chair stared at her in curiosity.
"I am Groot," Groot said.
"What?" The humanoid raccoon said turning to face Sakura sitting upright in the chair.
"She's awake." Rocket said as he turned his head to face her
"Sakura! Are you alright?" Thor asked as he turned around.
"Where are we? All I can remember is the ship blowing up and we were floating in space... What's going on here? Who are the two of you?"
"Welcome back to the real world your highness. The names Rocket and that over there is Groot. We are part of a group of hero's called the Guardians of the Galaxy."
"Where are the rest of you?"
"Scattered. The rest of their crew had gone on a search to find Thanos. A member of their group is his daughter, Gamora, and she will attempt to kill him herself. My mother's protective shield protected us from the blast..." Thor replied.
"Yeah... Are we heading to Nidavellir? To see those dwarf giants. I mean that's where the Hammer was originally forged so I assume you'll go back to forge a new weapon to face Thanos." Sakura said
"That is correct."
"I want to kill him." Sakura quietly said.
"We all do." Rocket said as he turned to face her with a smile on his face.
"I am Groot."
"Is that all he says?"
"I am Groot?"
"He's saying he can trust you. That you have a good heart." Rocket replied, "And yes I can understand him. You'll come to learn his language over time too."
"Sakura does have a pure heart. She's always protected and healed the people she cares about, but now our job is to save the universe not just one planet anymore."
"Loki said something about a group of mortals on Midgard called the Avengers. He asked me to inform them..." Sakura said as Thor looked over to her and glared, "Right... You are an Avenger as I've heard..."
"Believe me they already know since you told them where to find the next infinity stone!" Thor said aggressively.
"What? Why the hell would you do that?" Rocket complained.
"I didn't have a choice he was going to kill everyone on board the ship including Loki. I didn't have a choice!"
"Yet he took you all down anyway... What a piece of work..." Rocket scowled.
"Alright, here we are..." Thor smiled, "Although it appears to be gloomier than I remembered."
In the distance appeared a darkened planet surrounded by silent rings of which are not moving at all. Total silence like the ship wreckage. Not a living soul was present. All three of them speechless at this horrific sight on arrival. Walking through what is left of Nidavellir. Rocket turned his head upward noticing something unsettling. He tilted his ears back seeing a massive glove with enough indents to place all of the infinity stones inside.
"Uh, guys?" Rocket whimpered.
"Isn't that...?" Sakura panicked.
"We have to leave this planet..." Thor said backing away.
Picking up the pace their feet rushed them halfway to the ship until a large giant lifted himself off the floor in front of him. His hair and beard long and messy. The dirt from his clothes and face signify he had been laying there for a long time, and his hands were gone. In fear of his life, he fell backward.
"Eitri! It's me it's okay."
"Thor!"
"What happened here? What happened to you?"
"You were supposed to protect us! Where were you when my home was destroyed? My people are all dead. Thanos forced me to build the Gauntlet. If I did not cooperate he would kill my people and he did it anyway."
"Asgard was destroyed..." Thor replied.
"Eitri I am so sorry. Thor and I are the last Asgardians left so we understand." Sakura sighed rubbing her stomach, "I meant the three of us are the last ones left... When did this happen?"
"Who might you be, dear?"
"This is Sakura, Queen of Asgard, and Loki's wife. She is carrying what could have been the next Prince/Princess of Asgard."
"I see. Thanos killed everyone half a year ago. Although I'm not sure why you've come here?"
"I need a weapon. My hammer was destroyed and I cannot defeat Thanos without my hammer."
"I know exactly what you need. I've got a mold of an ax meant to be the strongest weapon of Asgard. Fit for a King. You can even summon the Bifrost with it."
"What do you call it? Thor asked.
"Storm breaker." He responded.
"Names a bit much, but I like it." Rocket said.
"Unfortunately the core's Iris is closed and frozen shut."
"How can we open it?" Thor asked.
"Manually..."
"I'll do it!"
"Thor!" Sakura said looking over to them in shock.
"That's suicide." The Dwarf King said displeased.
"If I don't have a weapon I can't fight Thanos. No weapon, no fight. No fight, the universe is no more."
"What do you want to do?" Sakura asked.
"I want Rocket to take me to the Iris on the ship. I'll hold it open just long enough to make it." Thor smiled, "Sakura stay here with Groot and King Eitri." Thor said leaving the scene with Rocket.
"I may have something for you as well," Eitri said searching in the rubble.
"What could you possibly have-"
"Ah, Found it!"
Underneath the garbage, he found metal daggers. The handles are striped black and gold with a round end enough to place a single finger inside. King Eitri handed them to her gently after rubbing away the dirt. She gazed holding back her tears.
"This is..."
"I've crafted Loki's weapons for hundreds and hundreds of years. I am so sorry for your loss."
"I am sorry as well. You lost everyone and we couldn't help you... If we had known I swear I would I have."
"Yes, but nothing makes me happier than an unborn child yet to be born in hopefully a brighter future."
In the distance, a ship appeared spinning around what appeared to be a human-like figure. Sakura angrily sighed noticing Thor had been swinging like a monkey to the eye of the star. He jumped to the Iris pulling together two handles. A bright light formed then beamed out to generate enough eat to pour the heated metal over the mold. The exited King yelled out to hold where he was while he watched the mold fill up to the top. Once it was completed Thor lost consciousness and his body was pushed out with the heat blast that was left before the eye had closed back up. He landed not too far from Eitri and Sakura motionless. He smashed the casting revealing an ax without a handle. In a panic he ran back and forth like a headless chicken searching for what could possibly be a handle or else Thor will not survive. Groot extended the roots of his arm burning himself holding the hot metal. He brutally decapitated his arm creating the handle for his new Axe, The Storm-breaker. Finally, Thor reached for his ax returning him to his usual self.
"That could have gone way worse," Sakura said heavily breathing.
"Now what?" Rocket said.
"Sakura uses your sorcery to search for a planet with an ongoing war involving Thanos and or the Black Order. As an Avenger I've been handed this device to contact our hero's on earth. I want you to have this. If you know me you'd understand I don't need such foolish devices."
"Alright then. Understood." Sakura replied.
Throughout the universe, she spotted a planet, Wakanda, where a Great War involving the Black Order had already begun. Thanos and others are scattered on other planets.
"I have spotted a planet where the Black Order has started a war among a group of strong humans from earth. I sense a stone on that planet. Not sure which one..."
"We have to go now. Stay close to me!"
"What about a ship? The ship is destroyed from our last stunt." Rocket said staring at the broken starcraft.
"We won't need it. We're Asgardians." Sakura said as Thor and her smiled at one another.
A rainbow light struck them leading them directly to the battlefield. Countless Black Order soldiers flooded the area like a pack of hyenas surrounding their prey. Once the three of them arrived on the battlefield Thor brought down his ax striking the grass below his feet. Sakura pushed on fighting for the sake of Asgard. Light as a feather she sliced through enemies with her daggers and tricking them to kill one another without realizing it. As she fought for Wakanda Sakura place the device in her ear attempting to contact anyone nearby who is speaking on different channels.
"Hello? Anyone there? Thor and I have arrived in Wakanda for back up. The Black Order has entered the barrier and the four of us are here to help." Sakura said as she fought.
"Oh hello? You must be on the wrong line. We're on another battlefield. Who are you? Another Avenger. Your voice is so soothing."
"My name is Sakura I'm new to Earth." Sakura giggled.
"I'm Peter. Peter Parker."
"Where are you? You said there's another battlefield?"
"Yeah, I'm on a space ship with Tony Stark and this new guy. A Wizard. I've never been on a space ship before. I think it belongs to the scrawny alien."
"Tony Stark?"
"Yeah. You know him."
"Yeah, of course, he's the famous Ironman."
"Hold on I just found him. I'll contact you back in a second." Peter said.
"Be careful, Peter, Ebony Maw can manipulate and move objects at will."
She received no response for over an hour as she fought beside Wakanda out in the open green fields. These monsters contaminated the beautiful hidden lands, but no one will stop to protect it or the stone in Visions Head. Thor had alerted her of who they were protecting. The stone that had powered Loki's staff formed a humanoid being known as Vision during a battle against Ultron. So many died, but now if nothing is done to protect the stones from Thanos half the population of the world will be gone and possibly more.
"Hey, Sakura are you there?" Peter whispered.
"Yes, I'm here."
"I haven't gotten the chance to ask you yet, but where are you from?"
"I'm not from Earth. I'm the Queen of Asgard. The same planet Thor comes from."
"Wow, really that's so cool! Can you strike lightning at people? Can you stop lightening?"
"No, I can't." Sakura giggled.
"I can only imagine how beautiful you must be. On a golden throne wearing a gold crown and a beautiful gown. How many servings do you have?"
"Kid, Who are you talking too?" Stark questioned.
"Oh, uh, nobody," Peter replied.
"Help me land this ship. We're bringing the fight to Thanos." Stark said.
"No don't engage Thanos! Get away from him he will kill you. This is not an ordinary war." Sakura cried out.
"This is a bad idea..." Peter repeated even though Tony couldn't hear Sakura.
"We're the adults you have no say. If you didn't want to be part of this you should have gone back down." Stark said, "I need you to put your arm in this over here and steer it like you would with a car. Got it. I will use my arm to do the other side."
"Okay. On it." Peter replied as he approached the window, "Sakura I've got to go, sorry."
"No...you won't win," Sakura said to herself as the channel had gone silent.
The war was far from over. She took the time to search for the planet by planet. Throughout the galaxy, in her mind, she spotted a destroyed planet known as Titan. The Guardians of the Galaxy and the Avengers are soon to fight one another. In an effort to stop them Sakura set up an illusion of herself in between them. Her illusion became so realistic it looked like an actual human being.
"Stop!" Sakura shouted as she spread out her arms.
"Now what? Who the hell are you?" Stark complained.
"Sakura... Where's Rocket, Groot, and Thor?" Star-Lord asked.
"It is you I recognize your voice. She's been talking to me since I had gotten on the ship." Peter said as he smiled, "I was right you are pretty."
"What? Wait you know Thor?" Stark asked.
"My name is Sakura. I am the Queen of Asgard. Loki's wife."
"Oh great another Asgardian. Where's Loki? Has he come back to kill us too." Stark complained as he looked around for Loki.
"He's dead..."
"What? I saw both Thor and Loki searching for Odin not too long ago. What happened?" Doctor Strange questioned.
"Once they found him Odin mention his powers were holding back a powerful being known as the Goddess of Death, Hela, his firstborn daughter. He died releasing her from where he had trapped her. She took over Asgard and the only way to stop her was to bring Ragnarok, a massive horned flaming devil, to kill her. He did kill her, but unfortunately, he also destroyed our entire planet. Thanos destroyed our ship and taking the Tesseract from us, and these are hero's known as the Guardians of the Galaxy. They saved our lives."
"Oh man that's horrible." Peter said widening his sparkling eyes as he approached her.
"Parker she's a Queen and possibly a criminal. Stay away from her." Tony said pulling him back.
""I saw the footage of New York and you were mouthing off to my husband before Hulk beat him bloody. Iron Man." Sakura mentioned displeased.
"That's me. I'm highly intelligent with PHD's and I will not hesitate to put you in jail once this is all over."
"I'm Doctor Strange. Master Sorcerer of the Mystic Arts."
"He's not an Avenger." Stark pointed out.
"I'm sensing a powerful energy." Mantis yelled out, "And it's approaching fast."
"It's Thanos! Get out of there! He's too powerful. Come to us on Wakanda. You'll die..."
"No! He took Gamora!" Star-Lord shouted, "He might have her with him. I will not leave her."
"Who's Gamora?" Stark shouted.
"Why is Gamora!" Drax yelled out randomly.
"I've fought him before. I was able to fight him off because someone placed a protective spell on me. I snuck attack Thanos and it almost worked. If you want to fight him I suggest you all hide. One of you will have to stay out because he will already know at least one person is here."
"I'll stay out. I have the Time Stone." Strange said looking around
"Alright. Right now we are fighting the Black Order here on Wakanda, When you are finished meet us back on earth if you survive. I have to go." Sakura said as she begun to fade, "I would rather not face him again..."
"Hey!" Parker yelled out reaching for her, "Stay safe okay. We'll be there soon."
"I look forward to meeting you in person." Sakura smiled as she faded.
"Kid what are you doing? You're underaged. She's a criminal." Stark said pulling him away from where she disappeared.
"She looks my age, and she's hot. How do you even know if she's a criminal you can't assume that." Parker complained as Tony rolled his eyes
"Asgardians live for thousands of years." Strange mentioned.
"Haha! You're into elderly women!" Drax said pointing and laughing.
Back to the battlefield in Wakanda, the war had gone downhill. Blood spilled from both sides. So many Black Order soldiers filled Wakanda fields like a mountain of ants swarming for food. Once a few hours had vanished quickly the universe had gone silent. Black Order soldiers simultaneously fell leaving only Avengers and those who fought on their side. Sakura turned her head every direction watching Wakanda warriors turn to dust.
"What the fuck is going on?" Sakura freaked.
Fearful of her life she ran to the woods to find Thor holding his ax in Thanos's chest. Sakura covered her mouth with both hands staring at the busted Gauntlet in Thanos's hand. He had snapped his fingers after finally retrieving all infinity stones. Avengers surrounded in shock as a woman cried over a body close by.
"What did you do?" What did you do?" Thor asked.
Thanos vanished leaving behind the ax. No words could describe the tragedy everyone lost that day. Groot faded away beside many others. Sakura placed her finger over her earbud microphone in a panic to communicate with others. Those who are left lifted their heads to stare at her for hope.
"Parker! Parker, please respond! How did Thanos get the time stone? Parker, please respond. Star-lord Quill, please respond. Mantis? Doctor Strange, please respond... Stark...."
"Nebula and I are the last ones left on Titan... The rest dusted away. Gone... Head back to HQ we have to see how extensive the damages have become."
"Parker's gone..." Sakura said collapsing to the floor, "We lost our friends..."
"I lost my friends. My friends are not your friends to cry over, you understand me. What you lost is our gain! You may have been a Queen but now you are at the bottom of the food chain."
"Hey! That is no way to speak to my family!" Thor yelled out as Tony hung up destroying his communications.
"No... not Quill. Sakura what happened?" Rocket cried.
"I'm sorry Rocket..." Sakura cried.
"Who are you?" Captain America asked.
"Captain she's the Queen of Asgard. She saved my life to make sure I had given you all word about Thanos. She married Loki, and then Thanos killed him." Banner said sighing.
"She's my sister in law, and is pregnant with what could have been the next prince of Asgard." Thor mentioned.
"Yes. I explained that to them before Thanos returned to Titan for the Time Stone. Stark was with the rest of Rockets crew, Doctor Strange, and Peter." Sakura sighed.
"What do we do now?" War Machine asked.
"We go back to Avengers HQ." Captain America replied, "Sakura your one of us now, so come with us."
"Don't feel uneasy about coming back with us just because of Tony. He's..." Black Widow smiled.
"An ass..." Captain America quietly replied.
"You said it not me." Black Widow responded.
"Well, what are we waiting for... I want to kill the bastard who killed my husband."
Upon returning to Avengers Headquarters with those who are left including Black Widow, Banner, Captain America, War Machine, Rocket, and Thor. Broken-hearted from their loss the group worked hard to keep track of who had dusted, and who stayed behind on Earth. Sakura silently sat beside Thor puff eyed over his shoulder. Her heart is shattered in ways nobody could imagine, but she wasn't the only one who's lost someone special to her. By spaceship Tony Stark and Nebula finally arrived in time to join them all for a group discussion. His skin is pale and his bones are clearly visible from the lack of food. They brought a new hero from another planet, Carol, who helped carry the ship down. A nice woman in blue and red stripes who single-handedly protected other planets. Tony Stark glared watching Sakura like a Hawk knowing she was possibly the only criminal in the room.
"I apologize ahead of time if this sounds rude, but I want you to know this is a necessary question. We're grateful you've joined our side to defeat Thanos, but knowing the history you have with Loki would you stay on our side or follow in his footsteps once this is over?" Black Widow asked.
"Be honest with us, please. We need to know if we can trust you." Captain America added.
"Loki never allowed me to fight by his side because I was his important Queen meant to stay at home as an important public figure, and nothing more. All Loki ever wanted was to be King, and he was willing to do anything to get the Throne that was rightfully his. He's only misunderstood. I never cared what he did as long as I stood by his side. As long as he was happy and I was happy."
"You're so blindly in love with him that you can't see what he's done," Tony said.
"Loki is not entirely a bad person. He has good heart, and if he were alive now he would be here on our side fighting to save the world beside us."
"How can you be so sure of that?" Black Widow added.
"He wouldn't feel comfortable ruling a world if theirs nobody in it." Sakura added.
"Well it doesn't matter now does it." Tony Stark said.
"Welcome to the team." Captain America said, "You can call me Steve."
"For starters we have to locate Thanos then get the stones from him." Black Widow mentioned.
"Right. If we take the stones we may be able to bring everyone back." Sakura said.
"How?" War machine questioned.
"I know where he is. My father told me. He's no liar. I can take you to him." Nebula said.
"We can do this." Sakura cheered.
"Alright then. Let's get this son of a bitch." Steve said
"Everyone suit up and head to the ship!" Black Widow said.
"Hold on, Sakura." Tony Stark said as everyone walked off except for Steve and Black Widow.
"What do you want? Are you going to cuff me? Muzzle me? Don't you trust me?" Sakura cried out.
"Quiet down we know you won't betray us because I listened and watched the recordings from Peter's suit," Tony said as he lifted himself up off the wheelchair.
"Wait. You can do that..." Sakura questioned tearing up
"See that's the reaction I was looking for. You want to bring him back as badly as I do. You'll do whatever it takes."
"Whatever it takes."
"Get going then."
Using the Guardians massive ship everyone slowly boarded in preparation for the final fight. One by one other had entered the space ship after Rocket and Sakura. Thor jumped in beside Captain Marvel and Black Widow. Captain America brought Nebula and Banner as well.
"Where's Stark?" Sakura questioned as the crew jumped aboard.
"He's too sick to come with us. Before we left we upset him and he had collapsed. Fortunately for us, my science is good enough to help him." Banner said.
"If Peter looks up to Tony than I will help you when we return. My Asgardian healing sorcery is probably much quicker than what you do here on Earth."
"I don't know if I should be thanking you despite you just insulting our planet, but thanks I guess," Banner responded.
"Your welcome." Sakura smiled.
"The recently inhabited planet Thanos snapped on is only a few spaces jumps away." Nebula said.
"Great. Now how many of you have not been on a space ship before?" Rocket asked as he sighed.
Most of the crew raised their hands as Sakura chuckled away to herself. Thor laughed rolling his eyes as Rocket heavily sighed. Nothing is more hilarious than a human who's never been on a spacecraft before.
"Great. Don't vomit on my ship." Rocket whined.
As they arrived hovering over this unknown planet Captain Marvel removed herself from the ship below to fly up to the window to face everyone. A flame-like aura shined off her body as she floated in front of them. The planet directly behind them was barren except for one Mad Titan, Thanos.
"He's the only one here. No guard. No Army. Just him." Captain Marvel said.
"Good. He's making it easy for us." Sakura said.
"It might be a trap." Black Widow mentioned.
"Trap or not we have to get that Gauntlet. We've prepared ourselves for this." Thor said.
"Alright. Prepare for landing." Rocket said.
In order to keep hidden from his sight the ship landed farther away from his comfortable home life farm. Thanos picked his vegetables from his garden in his cloth sack. He tied up the drawstrings throwing it over his shoulder to carry it back home. He has a severe wound throughout half of his body where he had snapped his fingers. Captain Marvel jumped in holding down his neck as Sakura and Black Widow grabbed both his arms. Thor flew in and chopped his arm off so he's unable to use the gauntlet. The rest stormed in for a well-prepared fight.
"Wait! The Stones are gone." Sakura said looking at his empty gauntlet.
"What?" Thor said as he glanced over, "Where are the stones?"
"I destroyed them." Thanos painfully said.
"Your lying you snapped your fingers again!" Steve yelled out.
"I snapped to destroy the stones, and it almost cost me my life. The stones have served their purpose."
"Your lying!" Sakura cried.
"No he's not. I've mentioned before he would never lie." Nebula said staring at his pained face.
"You bastard!" Sakura screamed.
Thor struck his hammer across Thanos' neck decapitating him. Everyone had gone silent thinking of what to do next knowing the world might actually permanently stay the way it is. Unable to accept losing the ones closest to her she walked off to the ship in a rush.
"Let's go we have to search for the stones!" Sakura cried.
"Sakura he destroyed them... it's over..." Black Widow said as she followed her.
"...but what about our friends and our families." Sakura whimpered as she collapsed.
"Hey take it easy. Let's return back to HQ. We need a new plan." Black Widow said.
The Avengers returned in silence expecting to have had the world in their hands. Expecting to have brought everyone back. In Frustration Steve had spoken to Tony and whoever else wasn't on the ship with them. It's over. Sakura approached Tony on his hospital bedside crying after Steve had gone.
"I wanted nothing more to save Peter. What am I supposed to do now?"
"You have a home here. If you need it. Your rooms right next to Black Widow."
"You don't have to do that. I can figure it out on my own."
"You are so much like Peter. Stay here you'll be a great asset to the team. Asgard is gone, and now your living on a planet you know nothing about."
"What will you do?"
"I'm going home. Away from here. Natasha and Steve live here as a permanent residence so you won't be alone here."
"Thank you."
Past his door all of the Avengers left assembled together to say goodbye to one another. Sakura thought of who had escaped from the ship back when Thanos killed Loki. Through earth, she searched for the Valkyrie and spoke to what was left of Asgardian civilization. Distracted by her magic, Thor approached her to see what she was doing.
"Thor, the civilians we evacuated are here on earth as planned."
"Wonderful. We have a home to return too."
"Well, Thor, I was offered a place to stay here."
"Our people need you."
"Can you tell them I'm dead? I am Asgardian, but I am human too."
"What will you do? Thanos is dead it's over. Loki is dead. Your new boyfriend is dead."
"I want to see the world through their eyes. This is also the perfect place for me to raise my son. Not in some hobo town. I'm not trying to be rude, but I was given two options and I am choosing the best option for my child."
"Are you sure you'll be okay here. If anything goes wrong you call for me!"
"I will."
"Hey everyone huddle up!" Steve Rogers said as he waved to everyone to circle around.
All showed except for Tony of course who had to lay in bed for a little while longer. Pepper planned to return to pick him up to take him home.
"Where will all of you go?" Natasha asked.
"Do you mind if I stay here?" Banner asked.
"Not at all," Natasha replied smiling.
"I have help other planets who need my help. I'm the only one who can do it." Captain Marvel said.
"Nebula and I agreed to fly out there ourselves as well. It's what we did before this." Rocket said.
"What about you War-machine?" Sakura giggled.
"I work for the government. So I go where they ask me to go. What about you and Thor?"
"Before our ship was destroyed we evacuated as many Asgardians we could. Sakura located them by the water, so I will go help them rebuild there while she stays here to raise her child."
"That sounds like a great plan. Keep me updated. All of you." Natasha said as she walked away.
Five years later Ant-man returned from the Quantum Realm standing at the front gate of Starks buildings. Steve Rogers brought him inside as Natasha hurried over to Sakura's bedroom to alert her who they had found.
"So this Ant-man guy is still alive all this time?" Sakura questioned.
"Yes. He wasn't on the battlefield with us so he's here to explain everything. Are you up for it right now? How's your son?"
"He's out with Banner right now." Sakura laughed.
"Hello." The Ant-man said reaching his hand out to Sakura, "My name is Scott Lang I am the Ant-Man."
"Nice to meet you. So where have you been while the world fell to pieces?" Sakura questioned as she shook his hand.
"I was in the Quantum Realm when my colleagues were supposed to pull me out, but as they dusted leaving me inside this alternate universe within the universe."
"For five years?" Natasha said.
"Time works differently there. Five years is actually five hours. I was only there for five hours. Imagine my shock when I come back and see half the population gone because of this Thanos guy. I missed five years of my daughters life, and now she's all grown up."
"Thanos destroyed the stones we can't undo this." Sakura sighed.
"What if I told you that there is a way to undo it."
"Pardon?" Sakura asked.
"How?" Steve said.
"Using the Quantum Realm we use it to jump through time and bring everyone back."
"We can do that?" Sakura said.
"You know who's good at all this science talk..." Steve said as he smiled.
"Banner..." Sakura giggled, "He's at the park with my son."
"Let's go." Steve smiled.
A few minutes later all four of them drove off to the park. A huge green man wearing a tank top and shorts was playing with a little boy in the grass. He wore his glasses and pretended to be vicious around the children to take pictures and sign autographs. Banner turned to see them not as pleased as he thought they were.
"Really..." Sakura sighed.
"What? Kids love Hulk!" Banner responded.
"I can't believe you finally placed your conscious in this green muscular creature." Sakura laughed.
"Yeah, all I had to do was to think of Hulk as the answer, not the problem. He's not a disease but a solution. Now here I am." Banner said.
"Mommy!" Shouted a little boy with long black hair.
"Hello, Nari! How are you?" Sakura said sweetly
"Mommy guess what. Bruce bought me ice cream and we played ball out on the field."
"Sounds like you had fun." Sakura giggled, "How about we all go to dinner?"
"Great idea," Scott said.
Reaching the diner the plan was already set in motion. Finally a possibility to bring everyone back. Banner had gone to find Thor with Sakura and Rocket. Black Widow had traveled to Japan to bring him Hawkeye back. Once the rest of the gang was together it was time to collect everyone and move on to Tony's new home. A plan to not only save their friends but the entire world.
