Tony was sitting in his lab in Asgard, alone with his eyes closed as Six Majestic gems were hovering around him. His eyes were trembling and some of the nerves in his body were starting to convulse, making him feel like he could burst from the inside at any given moment.
He suddenly opened his eyes which started to bleed as all the stones fell on the ground and were caught by an Uru mesh.
"Doesn't make any sense…*hufff*...The inscription on the gauntlet channels the stone's energy in a limited amount….*pant*....but how the fuck does that happen!? I can't walk around the planet with a golden glove on my hand with Infinity stones on display."
Tony was trying to harness the stone's power without the gauntlet but that way, he was not able to control the energy in them and almost died. He was also having a little problem with the soul of Gamora inside the soul stone as he didn't wanted any soul to be near his gauntlet.
"Anyways, Let's see what is happening down there."
His eyes suddenly turned rainbow as he had connected the Bifrost Observatory to his lab and could use the All-Seeing eye from anywhere on the Asgard.

Ebony Maw and Proxima Midnight were surrounded by a dozen or so Outriders as some of the Vibranium weapons were levitating around them, taken from the dead soldiers of Wakanda.
Peter was being treated by Shuri in a lab as his abdomen was pierced by a Vibranium weapon and the rest of the people were glaring angrily at Maw and Midnight.
The ground was littered with the dead bodies of thousands and thousands of Outriders and Wakandans. The battlefield was quite near the colonies and many Outriders snuck inside of some houses and killed them.
Avengers weren't looking too good either as Maw started to use the vibranium weapons dropped by dead Wakandan soldiers and razed through Wakanda like a death reaper.
Hulk's suit was torn on several places, Dr. Strange's left arm was crushed and was now limply, Scarlet witch was extremely exhausted by continuously using her powers like this for the first time.
Dr. Strange especially was feeling guilty as he could've avoided destroying Wakanda if only he was able to create a Mirror dimension but due to the unease in his heart about the Time stone being in Wakanda, he was a little late and then when he was about to do it, a giant hammer came out of nowhere and crushed his hand.
"Give us the Stones….It will only get worse…"
Said Maw weakly as all the vibranium weapons around him started to point towards Wakanda
This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.
T'Challa, who was too panting like the others and didn't know what to do.
As a King, he couldn't let anymore of his people die for a feud he was not even a part of but he was also quite loyal to Tony and knew the fact that Thanos will wipe out half the universe anyway, should the stones land in his hands.
Hulk suddenly got angry and smashed the ground so hard that the shockwave of it reached Maw and Midnight and the Outriders fell of their back

Star Lord, Drax, Rocket, Groot, Mantis and Nebula reached in the gravitational field of Titan and found the Planet completely frozen. The alarms inside their Ship went off and there was no way for them to land their without malfunctioning the ship.
"Come on Rocket, just land the damn thing! I need Thanos! Gamora must be waiting for us.
We have already tried every possible way to go their without affecting the Ship anyways." Said a restless Peter.
"It's not the issue about the ship, Peter..It's about freezing to your death in a matter of minutes." replied an annoyed Rocket.
Groot was playing the game on his mobile while Nebula, Drax and Mantis were looking at Titan with their brows furrowed.
"Something is wrong" Said Nebula suddenly.
"Oh is it? Thank You Captain Obvious. I wouldn't have figured it out by LOOKING at a visibly frozen planet" replied Rocket with even more annoyance while glaring at Nebula who came out of nowhere and forced herself on their ship.
"I mean that even Titan's rotation is frozen...It is impossible to survive on it now without the centrifugal force and the magnetic field as the planet is now vulnerable to cosmic rays and space vacuum. We can't land on it"
Nebula's explanation caused a pin drop silence in the ship and everyone just kept staring at her. She then again looked at the now frozen Titan and said
"Has he done it…? This kind of thing….I can only think of him as it's impossible to do by anyone I know except for him."
Rocket immediately started typing something and a satellite dish opened up on the ship which started scanning the Planet.
Peter started hyperventilating at the thought of Gamora being at such a planet and in a stroke of panic and anxiousness, he suddenly wore his helmet, got on a mini ship and raced down on Titan.
The incredible gravity of Titan suddenly started affecting his mini ship and he started falling at a higher speed.
Rocket gritted his teeth and slammed the liver on the control board which made the ship blaze towards Titan at an incredible speed.

Tony watched as Proxima Midnight was suddenly stabbed by T'Challa and Ebony Maw stabbed T'Challa in the back.
He suddenly closed his eyes as a portal opened behind him and he fell in it.
"BROTHER!" Screamed Shuri as she saw it through the window of the room she was treating Spiderman in.
Suddenly, Maw's eyes lost all color and he fell limply on the ground, dead.
Tony appeared behind Maw in his Endo-Sym armor and immediately gave T'Challa a shoulder so he won't fall.
Behind him, about ten Iron Man suits came flying and started massacring the remaining Outriders who were attacking the civilians and just saved T'Chaka, who was trying to save his people.
Everyone saw Tony and was relieved but no one could bring themselves to smile while looking at the bodies of Wakandan soldiers lying with the bodies of the Outriders.
Tony removed the spear lodged in T'Challa's chest and sealed the wound with some spider web from his suit. He then clicked T'Challa's suit and it started hovering while Tony guided it inside the Wakandan Castle.
No one said anything as they all followed behind Tony to the castle while Hulk went up to Tony and handed him the fake Mind Stone whose shell was half broken and almost revealed the yellow stone.
After reaching the room where Shuri was treating Peter, Tony made T'Challa sleep on a bed next to him and started silently operating on his injuries.
Shuri too finished up treating Peter and came to treat her brother with Tony but she couldn't understand what the latter was doing and just stayed beside her brother, looking between him and Tony whose eyes turned red and were threatening to leak a tear.
"So...Is Thanos coming next?" suddenly spoke Strange while lying on a sofa in the room and closing his eyes.
Everyone turned to look at Tony as they heard this question but Tony kept on treating T'Challa and didn't reply.
[Detected a Lower Divinity]
Tony's eyes squinted a little as he raised his head and looked around to find a black cat sitting on a tree, watching him and T'Challa from outside the window.
His speed suddenly increased and as soon as he treated T'Challa, Tony rushed out of the room while commanding Jarvis
"Find the Celestial Heliopolis. Use the Soul stone in conjugation with the Space stone to achieve it."
