(Flower gleam and glow)

Tony Stark is downright pissed.

Pissed at Star lord for being a fucking dumbass, pissed at everyone because nobody listened to him, pissed at Thanos, or for short, Tony was cursing at the universe and whatever being that guided the afterlife.

Seeing the mad titan dodge and attack them with minimal amount of effort made the genius frustrated. Tony noticed the bluish glow of the arc reactor turned bluish white, and grit his teeth to school his emotions. 'Calm down Stark, now's not the time,'

Glaring at Thanos, he launched himself for a full frontal assault. Well, Tony did have the upper hand at first until the purple giant deceided to fight at full strength. And now, his own sword is stuck through his gut.

"No more tricks,"

"No!" The brunet shouted. "Don't!"

Thanos was grinning as the Time Stone floated to his hand. Oh, how Tony wanted to wipe it off his face. Aiming for the open titan, the brunet opened fire, the gem retracting back to the Sorcerer Supreme.

Apparently Tony made the titan mad. "You're going to regret that,"

Tony snorted, not noticing the arc reactor glowing white. "The only thing I'll regret, is not killing you,"

And with that the nano armor wrapped itself around the billionaire despite almost dying a moment ago. They both charged at each other, the planet shaking at their collision.

Tony used sharp blades to deflect the punches given. Using smoke as a distraction, Iron Man flew to open fire at the back, making the titan fall down.

Thanos growled, turning to face his opponent, using the power of the infinity stones to gather power to his hands. With energy balls in his hands, he threw them at Tony, who dodged them both but got hit by third. The dust cleared revealing a much injured Tony.

Grasping the neck of the brunet, Thanos held him up, looking at the reluctant opponents. "Well? The stone or he goes," Thanos threatened, clenching tighter, making Tony scream out in pain.

Some looked away, some glared at titan, and one sat sadness.

"Put him away first," Strange says, holding out the Time Stone between his fingers. "And you shall have it,"

Tony wanted to scream really, but having a hand choking you could really cut off your air supply. The purple giant grinned, throwing Tony aside, making the pain increase tenfold.

(Let your power shine,)

Tony stood up in time to see the Stone float to the insane bastard. White, hot fury rushed through his veins, and suddenly bright light flashed, making everyone cover their eyes.

Opening his eyes, Peter Parker was suprised and so were the others. His mentor, Iron Man, is glowing with power, the time stone in his palm. The whitish glow from his cold and raging eyes, the glow from the armor, the glow from his armorless hands made Peter feel power from mister Stark.

"You mess with Earth, you'll never leave alive bastard," Tony threatened.

Thanos laughed and with a maniacal smile and a snap of his fingers, they all teleported. To where, Peter will know soon.

Steve walked to the open battle field with Wanda and Vision in tow, seeing the beasts already losing. They regrouped, happy with their win. The last of the siblings were dead, finally. He sees the happy tears, the relieved smiles, the joy. Hell, even the talking plant and raccoon were laughing at their opponents' demise .

Until suddenly, something was falling from the sky. Some people rather. A cloaked man started tracing circles in the air, fire flaring from the continued, frantic action. A portal appeared, sucking all the falling people. Another portal opened beside them, the people appearing.

"Quill!" Rocket called out.

"Ugh...is that Rocket?" a man with a personalized gas mask groaned.

"Spiderman!" Rhodey shouts, landing near them. "Where's Tony?"

"That's the question," the cloaked man says, already on his feet. "I'm Doctor Strange. The Time stone is with Tony, and Thanos, whatever he did, brought us here from Titan. The mind stone must be with you, am I correct?"

"You'll die you fucker!!"

A familiar voice distracted them from their conversation, turning to see a Tony Stark with few parts of his armor gone, attacking their opponent. To their suprise, the titan was injured and the attacks were working. In fact, when Tony shot something out to Thanos's eyes (foam probably), The genius quickly grabbed the gauntlet.

"He has it!" Someone screamed.

"Shit," Tony cursed, his foot held tight by Thanos. He used one hand to attack but the giant only held his wrist.

"TONY!!/MSTER STARK!!/ STARK!!" Various voices screamed together.

"Noone can save you now," Thanks taunted, gripping tighter. He wanted to scream. Tony could tell they're still far away and he couldn't risk either his friends being hurt because of Thanos or the gauntlet to be taken again.

So he did the only solution.

Tony wore the gauntlet.

"NOOOOOO!!!!!!"

The glow blinded everyone. Dreading, everyone opined their eyes to see Thanos being choked by the one and only Tony Stark.

"Do you feel the pain? Do you?!" Tony taunted, squeezing tighter,the glow of the arc reactor glowing brighter. "You want to know why I, a normal human being not mutated in any way, could hold the gauntlet?"

The brunet slammed the giant to the floor. He stepped on the hand where the gauntlet used to be, earning a pain filled shout from the crazy bastard. "I was supposed to be dead!"

"What does he mean?!" Banner asked, confused as the others. "He was supposed to be dead?!"

"But because of this," Tony pointed at the arc reactor. "I was denied of what I wanted!!!"

Steve looked at the genius, worried. Is life really not worth living for Tony? Did he really want to die?

Marveling the five stoned gauntlet, Tony continued. "You say you control fate with this,"

He kneeled to the giant's face, clearly happy with the painful expression on his opponents' face. "But you didn't need to have this," He kicks the titan in the face, making the other land near the ruins of an alien capsule.

"Why we defy fate?! Because we humans have something called stuborness!!" Tony screamed, flying to the giant, kicking and punching for all what's worth. "Something that you, a heartless creature will never have!!" the brunet says, delivering an uppercut, knocking the giant down.

"And that's why, we'll always protect Earth, even if the odds are against us, even if it's the end. Because we have hope,"

Tony used the powers of the gauntlet to float Thanos, disintegrating his very existence. "Your life shall be exchanged to bring back those who were lost in this war," Tony boomed, not his usual voice and self as his eyes glowed white. Thanos screamed out in pain as the heroes watched solemnly. And with that, a supernova of light exploded, the atoms of Thanos being wiped out.

And with that, the Infinity War has ended.

(Make the clock reverse,)

Steve stepped forward to Tony, who was floating down. "Who are you?" The captain asked, nervous.

Not-Tony chuckled. "I am the consciousness of the Stones. Anthony has known me ever since,"

Strange looked confused. "But how did a human like Stark contact you?"

With a smile, the immortal being answered. "It is up to Anthony to tell you or not, but as Anthony requested the lives sacrificed in this war to be brought back,"

Suddenly, particles of light floated forming to several people. "LOKI!!" Thor couldn't believe it, was Loki really here?

Quill teared up at seeing the familiar figure. "Gamora," he whispered, holding the scarlet black locks.

With a sad smile, the Infinity Stones' consciousness gathered the floating in his palms. He gestured to the Mind Stone on Vision's forehead, the Stone slowly detaching itself, leaving no permanent damage on the android. The brunet fabricated a necklace, which he gave to Doctor Strange. "The Eye ..."

The stones, finally reunited, turned into wisps of energy, going to the arc reactor which absorbed the power. With a satisfied smile, he gave the body back to it's original owner.

Chocolate brown eyes looked weary. "I'm...so...tired," and with that, Tony collapsed.

Peter panicked. "MISTER STARK!!!!!!!"

(Bring back what once was mine)
