[Gamora side]
Amidst the chaotic battlefield, Gamora and Nebula faced each other with weapons drawn, their movements a dance of aggression and familiarity. Gamora look at Nebula with pity expression.
Nebula, her breath ragged and determination etched on her face, lunged forward once more with her electroshock batons held high. "Don't look at me like that!" she barked, frustration lacing her voice as she swung at Gamora with fierce strikes.

{Michael Wilson POV]
Meanwhile, I, Michael Wilson, known as the Legendary Spider-Man, found myself locked in a fierce battle against Loko, the commander of the Sakaraan Mercenaries. Loko, who had transformed into a formidable stone-like form, exuded confidence as he smirked at me.
"You can't stop me now, fuckface!" Loko taunted, his voice tinged with arrogance.
"I'm not fuckface, I'm Spider-Man, idiot." I retorted, my own confidence matching his bravado.
As Loko lunged towards me with a powerful fist, I anticipated his move and dodged swiftly, countering with a quick punch to his face. The impact was solid, but Loko's stony exterior absorbed much of the blow.
"I told you, none of your punches would work on me." Loko sneered, his voice dripping with superiority. "My metal is stronger, similar to adamantium."
"Now I know why you're strong," I acknowledged, preparing myself for the next exchange. "But since when did I use the full force of my strength?" I smirked, baiting him.
"Loudmouth." Loko muttered, charging at me once more. I evaded his attack and webbed his eyes in an attempt to blind him momentarily. However, Loko easily brushed off the webs and came at me again with renewed vigor.
Thinking quickly, I used my webbing to entangle his feet, exerting my full strength to trip him up. Loko staggered and hit the ground hard, his frustration evident in his shout, "Bastard!"
Swiftly recovering, Loko scrambled to his feet and charged at me with relentless determination. I muttered under my breath, "Oh no, not good." as I evaded his charge using my webbing to swing out of his reach.
"Don't run, you pest!" Loko bellowed, his voice echoing with anger and frustration.

The battlefield was chaotic and tense as Peter Quill, Peter Parker (Spider-Man Red), Mark Taylor (Nightwing), Drax, and Groot confronted the imposing figure of Ronan the Accuser.
Ronan's voice boomed across the battlefield, filled with anger and frustration. "You motherfucker! Where is the stone?" His hammer swung ominously, threateningly, towards Peter Quill.
"I told you, ask your fucking mother!" Quill retorted defiantly, rolling to evade Ronan's attack and firing his blaster at the Accuser.
Spider-Man Red, eager to assist, webbed towards Ronan, aiming to restrain him. But Ronan's strength proved too much, effortlessly tearing through the webbing and hurling Spider-Man Red away with disdain.
Spider-Man Red gritted his teeth in pain as he flew through the air, momentarily incapacitated.
Nightwing, seeing his comrade in trouble, didn't hesitate. "Red!" he called out, his voice filled with concern and determination. Lunging forward with his batons, Nightwing struck at Ronan with precision, while Groot used his vines to ensnare Ronan, hoping to restrain him.
Their combined efforts briefly trapped Ronan, but the Accuser was not one to stay contained for long. With a roar of frustration, Ronan summoned crackling lightning from his hammer, shattering the vines and freeing himself from Nightwing and Groot's grasp.
Just as Ronan unleashed his lightning, Peter Parker's Spider-sense tingled, warning him of the impending danger. "Look out!" he shouted, reacting swiftly. Using his webbing, Quill swiftly pulled Nightwing and Drax out of harm's way, narrowly avoiding the deadly lightning strike.
However, Groot, caught in the midst of the attack, was electrocuted once again, causing him to convulse in pain.
"Groot!" Peter Quill cried out, seeing his friend being electrocuted once again. In a desperate attempt to save Groot, Peter Quill fired his element gun at Ronan, the energy blasts sizzling through the air towards their imposing foe.

Director Loe Halloway stood amidst the bustling S.H.I.E.L.D. laboratory, his eyes fixed on the power stone enclosed within its protective cube. The once radiant glow of the stone was now noticeably dimmer, prompting immediate concern among the gathered scientists.
"What's happening? Why is the power stone weakening?" Loe's voice cut through the tense atmosphere, demanding answers from his team.
A male scientist, his face etched with worry, stepped forward to explain, "Sir, our readings indicate that the stone is losing its energy."
Loe's brow furrowed deeply. "But why now? What's causing this?"
A female scientist, her demeanor composed yet urgent, approached with a Newton PDA displaying complex data. "Director Halloway, our analysis suggests that the power stone requires energy specific to its own universe to maintain its potency. Being away from its origin is gradually depleting its power."
Understanding dawned on Loe. "So, the longer it remains here, the weaker it gets?"
"Yes, sir," she confirmed. "If it stays outside its native universe for too long, it could eventually lose all its power and become an ordinary stone."
Loe cursed softly under his breath. "We can't afford to let that happen. We need to find a solution."
Another scientist chimed in, "Sir, based on our simulations, we estimate we may be able to restore some of its power, possibly up to 20%. But beyond that..."
Loe interrupted, his tone resolute, "Any amount of power is crucial. We must preserve whatever we can. This stone holds mysteries we've only begun to comprehend."
The scientists nodded solemnly, understanding the gravity of their task.
"We'll deploy every resource and explore every avenue," one assured him. "We won't rest until we've done everything possible to sustain its energy."
Loe nodded firmly. "Good. Time is of the essence. The fate of the stone, and perhaps more, hinges on our success."
With determined focus, the scientists dispersed, their minds now fixed on the monumental challenge before them: to safeguard the power stone's potency and unravel the secrets concealed within its enigmatic essence.
