Ch: 250 [Wanda & Peter vs Thanos]


    AN: Fast-paced fight.


    ---


    The ground shattered beneath Wanda as she unleashed her fury. The Scarlet Witch stood at the center of a maelstrom of chaos magic, her crimson aura expanding in waves that distorted the very air. Her crown of glowing energy burned brighter, its jagged edges sharp with menace. Across from her, Thanos steadied himself, his gauntlet 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 control… is a weapon that turns against its wielder."


    Wanda''s eyes zed, and with a flick of her wrist, the world around them twisted. The environment shifted rapidly—a desert one moment, an ocean the next, then a forest consumed by mes. 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 countered with a surge of chaos magic, the two forces colliding in an explosion of light and sound that shook the ground. The raw power from the sh created shockwaves that ttened the surrounding area.


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


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


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


    Wanda extended her hands, and the ground around Thanos transformed into a living nightmare. The fissure he created split open to reveal writhing tentacles of crimson energy that reached for him, pulling at his limbs and attempting to drag 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 to drag in a meteor from outer space mixed it with Power Stone''s energy, and hurled toward her. Wanda shattered it with a single st of magic, the debris disintegrating before it could touch her.


    Her counterattack was swift. She clenched her fists, and the air around Thanos thickened 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 butced with menace. "But I''ve faced gods and killed them. What makes you think you''re different?"


    Wanda descended, her feet barely touching 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 directions, creating a vortex that pulled Thanos toward its center. 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 copsed into nothingness.


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


    Thanos roared in frustration, channeling the Power Stone to increase his strength tenfold. He charged at her, his gauntleted fist glowing with violet energy. Wanda met his charge head-on, her magic forming a massive, crimson w that caught his strike.


    The two forces shed again, creating a shockwave that tore through the battlefield. The ground crumbled beneath them, and the sky above seemed to ripple as if reality itself couldn''t handle the intensity 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, conjuring illusions of the people she loved being destroyed. 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 chaos magic faltering for a moment. Thanos seized the opportunity, mming her with a st from the Power Stone that sent her crashing into the ground.


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


    "Farewell, child," Thanos said, preparing to unleash the full force of the stones at 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 gauntlet 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 second. Her ribs were crushed from thest attack and blood was oozing out from her nose. Her chaos magic was barely keeping her alive.


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


    "But Peter!" Wanda protested, but she stopped when Peter raised his hand.


    "I will handle this, you go and help outside, okay?"


    Wanda nodded, "Alright." She turned to Thanos and red. "Kill that fucker."


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


    Thanos watched them with interest, his eyes darting between the two. The boy looked familiar. The Titan then remembered. He saw Peter on his way to Earth. Peter was supposed to be fighting Knull ording to the reports.


    Wanda opened a portal and got out of that chaotic ce.


    "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, and Peter 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, countering with a punch of his own. His fist glowed with violet energy as it rocketed toward Peter''s head, but Peter didn''t avoid the attack. He put his chi, magic, and celestial energy into his fist, and mmed into Thanos''s attack.


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


    Thanos narrowed his eyes, sensing Peter''s power. He raised his gauntlet, the stones glowing. "This is your chance 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 confidence. "I know enough to realize you can''t defeat me."


    "That''s what you think."


    "Then let''s see what you''re capable of," Thanos said, raising the gauntlet.


    Peter didn''t wait for him to act, charging at Thanos with blinding speed. The Titan unleashed a barrage of energy sts from the gauntlet, but Peter simply waved his hand in the air, sending out a massive arc of golden energy that absorbed the iing 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 punches that rained down on his body.


    Thanos grunted, the blows forcing 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, mming his fist into Thanos''s stomach with enough force to create a shockwave that tore apart the ground.


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


    Peter used reality maniption to break down the beam to its molecr level before it could touch him. He then used his chi and magic to recreate it into a de and hurled it at Thanos. Thanos teleported out of the way, reappearing above Peter with the gauntlet raised, but Peter was faster. He blinked out of existence, reappearing behind Thanos and mming 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 mmed his feet on his right arm, crushing it before he could use the Stones.


    "ARGGG!!" The Titan screamed in pain. But he countered quickly using his left arm to grab the Power Stone... Well, he wanted to 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 Stone into his hand. He grabbed it and instantly felt the intense power, but with his celestial body, he could use it. Without thinking for a second, 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.


    [Stter!] Purple blood sttered across the ground as Peter''s fist impacted Thanos''s skull, shattering his armor and caving in his face. He continued to pound on the Titan over and over again 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 gauntlet. After putting the Power Stone back into his space pocket, he took the gauntlet and the other two stones. He put the gauntlet and the Mind Stone into his space pocket and used the Space Stone to open a portal back to Earth.
