AN: Fast-paced fight.

  ---

  The ground shattered beh Wanda as she unleashed her fury. The Scarlet Witch stood at the ter of a maelstrom of agic, her crimson aura expanding in waves that distorted the very air. Her of glowing energy burned brighter, its jagged edges sharp with menace. Across from her, Thanos steadied himself, his gau radiating power as the stones embedded within it pulsed with their own ominous glow.

  Thanos tilted his head, a smirk creeping across his face. "You're powerful, child. But power without trol… is a on that turns against its wielder."

  Wanda's eyes bzed, and with a flick of her wrist, the world around them twisted. The enviro shifted rapidly—a desert one moment, ahe , then a forest ed by fmes. Each shift was violent, reality itself bending to her will. "You'll regret every word," she snarled.

  Thanos raised the Power Stone, unleashing a beam of violet energy. Wanda tered with a surge of agic, the two forces colliding in an explosion of light and sound that shook the ground. The raw power from the csh created shockwaves that fttehe surrounding area.

  Thanos pressed forward, the Space Stone glowing as he blinked out of existend reappeared behind Wanda. His gau swung toward her, but she spun, her magic ing around his arm like s, stopping his strike mid-swing. "You think I 't see you?" she growled, tightening her grip.

  The Mind Stone fred, and Thanos sent a psychic wave crashing into her sciousness. Wanda staggered but retaliated, her agiing a barrier in her mind to repel the attack. "Get out of my head!" she screamed, sending a crimson surge through the -like tendrils still ed around Thanos's arm.

  The force hurled him back, his massive form skidding across the ground. He snarled, smming his gau into the earth, creating a fissure that raced toward Wanda. She leaped into the air, floating effortlessly as her magic propelled her upward.

  Waended her hands, and the ground around Thanos transformed into a living nightmare. The fissure he created split open to reveal writhiacles of crimson energy that reached for him, pulling at his limbs and attempting t him down.

  "ARGGGG!!!" Thanos roared, the Space Stone glowing as he teleported out of the trap. Reappearing above Wanda, he used the Space Stone again t in a meteor from outer space mixed it with Power Stone's energy, and hurled toward her. Wanda shattered it with a si of magic, the debris disiing before it could touch her.

  Her terattack was swift. She ched her fists, and the air around Thanos thied as reality itself turned against him. Gravity reversed, pulling him upward, while invisible forces crushed him inward, threatening to implode his body. The Titan fought back, the Mind Stone glowing as he resisted the distortion, creating a psychic shockwave that shattered Wanda's hold.

  "You fight well," Thanos admitted, his voice calm but ced with menace. "But I've faced gods and killed them. What makes you think you're different?"

  Wanda desded, her feet barely toug the ground. Her voice was eerily calm, her power swelling to levels she hadn't tapped into before. "Because I'm not a god. I'm something worse."

  With that, she unleashed her full strength. The world around them exploded into chaos. Crimson energy surged in all dires, creating a vortex that pulled Thanos toward its ter. The Titan struggled against the force, the Space Stone glowing as he tried to teleport away, but Wanda anticipated him. She snapped her fingers, and the teleportation point he aimed for colpsed into nothingness.

  "You don't get to run," she said, her voice yered with power.

  Thanos roared in frustration, eling the Power Stoo increase his strength tenfold. He charged at her, his gaued fist glowing with violet energy. Wanda met his charge head-on, her magiing a massive, crimson cw that caught his strike.

  The two forces cshed again, creating a shockwave that tore through the battlefield. The ground crumbled beh them, and the sky above seemed to ripple as if reality itself couldn't hahe iy of their fight.

  Thanos, sensing that brute force wasn't enough, activated the Mind Stone again. This time, he focused its power not on Wanda but on her memories, juring illusions of the people she loved beiroyed. Peter's broken mask. MJ's lifeless form. Sue's cries of agony. Each image was a dagger to Wanda's heart.

  She hesitated, her agic faltering for a moment. Thanos seized the opportunity, smming her with a bst from the Power Stohat sent her crashing into the ground.

  Wanda gasped, her body ag from the blow. She tried to stand, but Thanos was faster. The Titan appeared before her, his gau glowing as he leveled it at her face.

  "Farewell, child," Thanos said, preparing to unleash the full force of the sto her.

  [Bang!] A hard punch came out of nowhere, sending Thanos staggering backward. Wanda turned, shocked to see Peter standing there. He looked exhausted and she sighed in relief to see him. He stepped in front of her.

  Thanos looked amused at the new arrival. "And who might you be?"

  Peter's gaze shifted between the gau and its owner. He didn't reply. He turned his back toward the Titan and looked at Wanda. She was far beyond exhausted, yet, she was holding Thanos back, almost killing herself in the process. She looked ready to fall any sed. Her ribs were crushed from the st attad blood was oozing out from her nose. Her agic was barely keeping her alive.

  "You look like a mess," He smiled, pg his hands on her shoulders. He used his celestial power to heal her wounds. "Now... Go out. Leave that purple fuckfae."

  "But Peter!" rotested, but she stopped wheer raised his hand.

  "I will hahis, you go and help outside, okay?"

  Wanda nodded, "Alright." She turo Thanos and gred. "Kill that fucker."

  "Oh, don't worry. I got a pn," Peter wi her. "Just make sure everyone else is safe."

  Thanos watched them with i, his eyes dartiweewo. The boy looked familiar. The Titan then remembered. He saw Peter on his way to Earth. Peter was supposed to be fighting Knull acc to the reports.

  ened a portal and got out of that chaotic pce.

  "Don't tell me you took down Knull," Thanos said, raising an eyebrow.

  Peter didn't waste his time talking. He blinked behind the Titan and punched him. The blow sent Thanos staggering forward, aer pressed his advantage, following up with a series of swift punches and kicks that forced Thanos on the defensive.

  The Titan grunted in surprise as he blocked each strike, the blows shaking his entire frame. "Impressive," he growled, tering with a punch of his own. His fist glowed with violet energy as it rocketed toeter's head, but Peter didn't avoid the attack. He put his chi, magid celestial energy into his fist, and smmed into Thanos's attack.

  [Booom!!] Purple and golden energy cshed in a brilliant explosion of light and sound that rocked the battlefield. Peter grinned, feeling the energy c through his veins. He was ready to go full bst against this fucker.

  Thanos narrowed his eyes, sensier's power. He raised his gauhe stones glowing. "This is your ce to walk away, child. You have no idea what you're up against."

  "Do you?" Peter fired back, his body shimmering with golden energy.

  Thanos tilted his head, intrigued by the boy's fidence. "I know enough to realize you 't defeat me."

  "That's what you think."

  "The's see what you're capable of," Thanos said, raising the gau.

  Peter didn't wait for him to act, charging at Thanos with blinding speed. The Titan unleashed a barrage of energy bsts from the gau, but Peter simply waved his hand in the air, sending out a massive arc of golden energy that absorbed the ining attacks. Thanos's eyes widened as his attacks were nullified, and he barely had time to dodge as Peter appeared before him, unleashing a flurry of puhat rained down on his body.

  Thanos gruhe blows f him back as he struggled to defend against them. His armor was breaking apart and he was surprised to think that a human could have such power. He swung at Peter, but the boy dodged easily, smming his fist into Thanos's stomach with enough force to create a shockwave that tore apart the ground.

  The Titan gasped, his body ag as he struggled to breathe. He felt his bones creaking, threatening to break uhe pressure. "Enough!" he roared, unleashing a beam of energy, mixed with Power and Space Stones energy, from his gau.

  Peter used reality manipution to break down the beam to its molecur level before it could touch him. He then used his chi and magic to recreate it into a bde and hurled it at Thanos. Thanos teleported out of the way, reappearing above Peter with the gau raised, but Peter was faster. He blinked out of existence, reappearing behind Thanos and smming his fist into his back.

  Thanos grunted in pain as his body fell into the murky red water of that dimension.

  Before he could get up, Peter appeared before him and smmed his feet on his right arm, crushing it before he could use the Stones.

  "ARGGG!!" The Titan screamed in pain. But he tered quickly using his left arm to grab the Power Stone... Well, he wao use it to punch Peter and kill in in a single blow, but his left arm flew up high in the air. Purple blood spewed out of his severed arm as he watched his arm fly up in the air.

  Peter webbed the Power Stoo his hand. He grabbed it and instantly felt the intense power, but with his celestial body, he could use it. Without thinking for a sed, he acted instantly.

  His fist glowed purple as he felt his power increase. Thanos had just enough time to look at Peter before he smashed his head into the ground.

  [Sptter!] Purple blood spttered across the ground as Peter's fist impacted Thanos's skull, shattering his armor and g in his face. He tio pound oan over and ain until Thanos was nothing more than a bloody pulp.

  Peter stopped, panting heavily as he stood over Thanos's broken form. His body was covered in purple blood. Then shifted his attention toward the gau. After putting the Power Stone bato his space pocket, he took the gau and the other two stones. He put the gau and the Mind Stoo his space pocket and used the Space Stoo open a portal back to Earth.
