G Groot
[Thor, Rocket and Groot are traveling to Nidavellir.] [Irritably]
I am Groot.
Tinkle in the cup. We're not looking. What's there to see? What's a twig? Everybody's seen a twig.
G Groot
[Still irritably]
I am Groot.
[While looking out the rear portholes]
Tree, pour what's in the cup out in space, and go in the cup again.
Yes, they taught it on Asgard. It was an elective.
You'll know when we're close. Nidavellir's forge harnesses the blazing power of a Neutron Star. It's the birthplace of my hammer; It's truly awesome.
[To himself]
Okay, time to be the Captain. [To Thor] So, dead brother, huh? Yeah, that can be annoying.
Well, he's been dead before. But this time... I think it really might be true.
And you said that your sister and your dad–
But still got a mom, though?
Stabbed through the heart.
You sure you're up for this particular murder mission?
Absolutely. The rage, vengeance, anger, loss, regret, they're all tremendous motivators. They truly clear the mind... so, I'm good to go.
Yeah, but this is Thanos we're talking about, he's the toughest there is!
Well, he's never fought me.
Well, he's never fought me twice. And I'll have a new hammer, don't forget.
Well, it'd better be some hammer.
You know, I'm 1,500 years old. I've killed twice as many enemies as that, and every one of them would have rather killed me, but none succeeded. I'm only alive because Fate wants me alive. Thanos is just the latest in a long line of bastards, and he'll be the latest to feel my vengeance. Fate wills it so.
And what if you're wrong?
[Mirthless chuckle]
Well, if I'm wrong, then... what more could I lose?
[Having found a clear spot]
Come and get some, space dogs! [Another wave of Outriders heads right for the raccoon-oid. The Winter Soldier, having come up behind Rocket, grabs him with his mechanical arm, holds him at arms length and spins 540 degrees, firing his own M-249 at the same time.] Come on, get some, get some! Come on, get some! [The Winter Soldier drops Rocket, who looks up at him with an impressed gleam] How much for the gun?
[snaps off another burst]
Not for sale.
Okay, how much for the arm? [the Winter Soldier just gives him a look and moves off] Oh, I'll get that arm.
[The tides of battle cause Thor, using Stormbreaker to great effect, and Captain America together. They take a breather.] [panting]
New haircut?
[grinning]
Notice you've copied my beard.
[Captain America nods, wearily gesturing at his own face with a shield-covered hand. Groot skewers three Outriders with his right arm.]
By the way, this is a friend of mine. Tree. [Gestures towards Groot with Stormbreaker]
G Groot
[in full battle snarl]
I am Groot!
[formally, but bemused]
I am Steve Rogers.
[Walking closer to the Scarlet Witch]
I understand, my child. Better than anyone.
[Snarls]
You... could never.
[Reaches down to presume to stroke her hair, as if in comfort]
Today, I lost more than you can know. But now is no time to mourn. Now... is no time at all. [He reaches forward, clenching the gauntlet, emerald filigree surrounding his wrist, making a gesture very similar to that Doctor Strange made when activating the Eye of Agamotto. In response, a bead of yellow light starts gathering in on itself as time is reversed and growing in size, solidifying into an intact and conscious Vision]
No! [She lunges for Vision and is swatted away.]
[Thanos picks up Vision by the throat, lifting him to eye-level, and digs the fingers of his right hand into Vision's forehead, digging out the Mind Stone. He pulls it loose, and Vision goes limp and colorless; he tosses the lifeless android aside like trash. Bringing his gauntleted hand up, he slowly moves the Mind Stone over the last empty setting, and drops it in. The energy surge is much more than any previous – his torso is wreathed with iridescent static and he bellows from the sensations.]
[As Thanos studies the completed gauntlet, a massive bolt of lighting strikes him, digging him into the ground and grinding him back for meters. Thor has arrived, eyes glowing with power, stooping down from the sky like a bird of prey. The God of Thunder pauses his attack, reverses his position, raises Stormbreaker above his head and hurls it – Thanos fires the whole might of the gauntlet against it, but it only creates a rainbow-like bow-shock, not slowing the ax as it slams right into Thanos' chest. ]
I told you... You'd die for that!
[He takes hold of the back of Thanos's head and forces Stormbreaker deeper into his chest, staring angrily into his eyes while Thanos cries out in pain]
You... should have gone for the head!
[He holds up his hand and snaps his fingers]
NO!
[Thanos is now briefly inside the Soulworld, where he sees a young Gamora on the home world of the Zen Whoberi]
Daughter?
[out of the Soulworld, Thanos is snapped back into reality, notices the damages inflicted on the scorched Gauntlet, and the stones are no longer glowing]
What did you do? WHAT DID YOU DO?!
[Thanos closes his fist, Using the Space Stone to teleport away, leaving Thor left on the Wakandan field] [Stumbles into the clearing, holding his left side]
Where'd he go? Thor, where'd he go?
[Bucky suddenly collapses into a pile of ashes. Steve walks over and touches the ground where Bucky's ashes evaporated unbelievably. On the battlefield, Wakankan soldiers disintegrate to ashes, much to M'Baku's horror] [While reaching for a fallen Okoye]
Up, General! Up! This is no place to die. [He holds out his hand for Okoye. But T'Challa then turns into ashes and an anguish Okoye falls back on the ground]
G Groot
[Slowly corroding into ashes as well]
I... am... Groot... (Translation: "Dad?")
O Okoye
[Off-screen]
KUMANI!
No. No, no, no, no! Groot... No...
WM War Machine
[Scarlet Witch is mourning over Vision. She then turns into ashes. An injured Falcon turns to ashes, hidden in the brush] [Searching for Falcon, missing him by only a few feet]
Sam!
WM War Machine
[Okoye is seen hyperventilating fearfully over T'Challa's disappearance] [Off-screen]
Sam, where you at?!
[Back on Titan, the remaining members of the Guardians and Avengers help themselves up from their battle against Thanos they had lost]
Something's happening. [She gets disintegrated into ashes]
[Drax gets disintegrated next]
Steady, Quill.
[Staring around in horror]
Aw, man.
[Quill turns into ashes also]
Tony. [Tony turns to Dr. Strange] There was no other way. [Finally gets erased]
[Realizing that he's fading away]
Mr. Stark? I don't feel so good...
[Trying to be calm]
You're alright.
[Stumbling and terrified]
I don't... I don't know what's happening. I don't– [Parker falls into Stark's arms, clutching him tight and crying] I don't wanna go, I don't wanna go! Sir, please. Please, I don't wanna go. I don't wanna go. I'm sorry.
[Parker disintegrates into ashes in Stark's arms.] [To Tony Stark, seeing Thanos' victory]
He did it.
WM War Machine
[Stark mourns silently at their failure it caused. Back on Wakanda, the remaining team members, Captain America, Thor, War Machine, Black Widow, Bruce Banner, and Rocket are left mourning near Vision's dead body.]
What is this? What the hell is happening?
[Pause]
Oh, God.
[Meanwhile, in a different place, in a rustic house on a terraced slope with a scarecrow made of discarded armor, Thanos sits down and watches the sun rise.]
