Enjoy.

[Omni Pov]
"I call dibs on the big titan," Hiro said as he launched himself high into the air in the direction of the park. Nozomi shook her head at this while she turned in the direction of Ebony Maw. With a single leap, she was above him, leg raised and a smirk on her face. Ebony Maw saw a shadow looming over him. His head snapped upward in alarm as he had not sensed anyone, but it was too late.
BOOOM!
An axe kick landed on his face. He was flung to the ground at very high speed, causing white ripples to form in the air. He landed with an ear-bursting explosion, forming a large crater in the ground. Nozomi landed in front of Strange, who was gasping for air as the vines had let go.
Nozomi looked in the crater to find Ebony Maw struggling to get to his feet. Her smirk grew wider as he finally got to his feet, though with great difficulty. "That was aimed to kill," She commented, looking more pleased than annoyed at him being dead.
Ebony Maw looked up at Nozomi, anger and rage morphed on his face. "How dare you kick me? You are going to pay for that." He then raised his hands, pulling the street lights that were around into the air. He started to hover until he was on the same level as Nozomi, a big mistake. With a flick of his wrist, he sent the flying in Nozomi's direction.
"It's been a while since I went all out; you better not die early," Nozomi warned with a dangerous gleam in her eyes. She then lowered her posture and brought both her hands next to her waist, closed in fists. Then, the moment the first pole got close to her, her right hand blurred and connected with the base of the pole. There was a short pause in the area, as if the world was holding its breath. Then, the pole was launched back towards Ebony Maw at even greater speed than before. The pole passed by his face, inches away from beheading him.
BOOOM!
The pole then struck the building behind him. The entire building collapsed to cover the large hole that was left by the pole. Nozomi kept punching the poles that were still coming. Most of them were passing by Ebony Maw's figure at high speed, while some struck. One of the poles she punched back finally made contact with Ebony Maw's leg, tearing the entire limb off of his body, before he could even register the pain, more poles made contact with his body, tearing off limbs and puncturing holes in it. By the time the barrage was over, Ebony Maw was lying in the pile of rubble the first pole had caused. His face was full of terror, his body full of holes as he bled to death.
He looked over at Nozomi, who had not taken a single step from where she was. She was looking at him in disappointment. He could only mutter one word before he met his inevitable demise. "M-monster."
Nozomi's brow furrowed at that. "Who are you calling a monster? Have you taken a good look in the mirror lately?" She then realised that he was dead and finally calmed down.
She then turned to Strange, who was staring at the destruction the girl had caused with wide eyes. Nozomi then walked up to him, offering him a hand. "You good?"
Strange looked at her in bewilderment before taking her hand and standing up. "Yeah, I'm fine." He looked at her closely after getting up before asking. "What are you?"
Nozomi's face deadpanned at the question. "Seriously, what is with men these days? One calls me a monster, and the other asks what I am. Can't a girl just get a compliment?"
Before Strange could respond or even process what she was saying—
BOOOOOOOOOM!
Another explosion, larger than the last, assaulted his ears. He turned in the direction the explosion came from, his face hardened when he realized that it was the direction Tony was.
"Don't worry about your friends." Before he could move to help them, Nozomi put a hand on his shoulder with a smile. "They are fine. My brother is with them."
Back to the melee fighters. Tony and Peter were...probably not enjoying their 2-v-1 as the titan was still unscathed by their combined forces. He was keeping Peter a bay while beating up Tony. Peter webed the titan in the face and was about to pull when his spidey sense tingled. He looked up in time to see a figure come down with an axe kick. Peter's world slowed down as he webbed Tony and pulled him towards himself.
BOOOOOOOOOM!
The kick landed with a thunderous explosion. Hiro jumped back and now stood in front of Peter and Iron Man. "Would it be alright if I asked if I could take it from here?"
"I don't know, can you drop more kicks like that?" Peter asked, still shocked at the strength the boy in front of him showed, as even he couldn't kick like that.
Hiro smirked at the response as the titan in front of him got up from the ground, shaking its head to remove the disorientation. "Not hurt yet?" Hiro then released his tails and ears.
Silver claws began to form over his hands all the way to the elbow. With that, he vanished. Peter's eyes widened at the display of speed. A nanosecond later, Hiro appeared in front of the titan and threw a punch. The titan managed to put his shield in front of him in time, but the force behind the punch still pushed him back. Before he could recover his footing, Hiro disappeared again and appeared slightly above the titan with his leg raised.
Cull Obsidian raised his shield in time to block the strike again. His hand dropped at the force behind the attack. When the hand reached slightly below his chest, Hiro, who was standing on the shield, twisted his body and landed a round-house kick on the side of his face. His head jerked to the side, blood and spit coming out of his mouth.
Hiro then jumped back, creating some distance between him and the titan. Cull Obsidian's eyes were filled to the brim with rage. Hiro raised his hands to cover his mouth in mock shyness. "Stop~ If you keep looking at me like that, I will blush~."
The titan just raised his flail and threw it in Hiro's direction. Hiro just disappeared again and appeared behind the titan that had raised its shield in front of it, expecting a frontal assault again. Hiro then focused more soul-flux in his silver claws and hit the titan in the back with two open palms. "Over to you, Wong."
The titan flew towards Tony, who was about to fly away, when a portal opened in front of him. The Titan went through, the portal closing behind it. "Wong, you are invited to my wedding," Tony said before turning to Hiro. "And who do I owe the pleasure of saving me?"
[Hiro's POV]
I dismissed the claws that were still on my arms and pulled back my soul-flux, but left my ears and tails out as it was honestly uncomfortable to hide them. "Kirigaya Hiro, and could I have an autograph?" I asked as I walked closer to him, and I pulled out a paper and pen from my pocket, which of course I had, as in this world, you never know who might meet.
He looked at me with a raised brow. "Right, a kid with fox ears and tails, which are cool by the way, takes down an alien general and is now asking for my autograph, not weird at all." Though he still took the pen and signed it.
I smirked at that. "If you don't want it, you can stop."
He then looked at me as he handed me back my paper. "I never said that."
I then turned to Peter, who was still watching me in surprise, and offered him the paper and pen. He looked a little taken aback. He looked behind himself before pointing at himself. "Me?"
I nodded my head, tails wagging behind me in anticipation. "Yes, you are the friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man, right?"
He looked at Tony before taking the paper and pen and signing it. I then passed it to Wong, who looked at me, confused. "Can we just make this simple, and you all just give me your autographs?"
Wong got it and signed it before passing it to Bruce, who also looked at it, confused. "Even me?"
I nodded. "Aren't you the Hulk?"
I took the paper while sighing. "That's not me, but he is a personality of mine." He explained while signing.
He gave me the paper, and I folded it carefully before shoving it in my pocket. "I know. I saw you struggle with him earlier."
"Okay, so there is something that I am not understanding. Who are you? You don't seem bothered by an alien that was just here a few minutes," Wong spoke up.
"I believe I can explain," Nozomi said while walking out of a portal behind Strange. Her ears and tails were out in the open too.
"Cool, there are two of you?" Peter asked in surprise.
"That's my sister, cute, right?" I asked while giving him a thumbs up.
"Um, yeah?" He responded with a weary voice.
"I am Kirigaya Nozomi, and that is my brother Hiro. We have been following Thanos for a while, and we have been looking for ways to defeat him, but we found that only with the Avengers is it possible," Nozomi explained in a serious tone.
"Sorry, kid, the Avengers are no more," Tony immediately spoke up once she stopped. "They broke up."
"Then work it out," Nozomi suggested while tilting her head. "The Avengers were formed to save the world, right? Then what other threat will you be saving the world from other than aliens?"
"Nice pep talk, kid, maybe it can work on the others," Tony said sarcastically.
"It will work once they know what is at risk," I spoke up.
They all turned to me. "And what's that?" Strange asked.
"Half of humanity," I replied with a serious tone. "Now, I suggest raiding that ship as it is the closest thing to Thanos we have here."
"What are the choices?" Tony asked Strange, who looked at him with a pondering expression.
[SpongeBob narrator voice: 5 minutes later]
We were inside Thanos' ship, looking around to see if there was anything useful. But I knew that there was nothing here, as I was just doing this so that we could meet the Guardians of the Galaxy.
"Is it just me, or is this ship empty?" Tony said while scanning behind some junk.
"There is nothing here," Strange said while looking frustrated.
Before any of us could say anything, the spaceship started to shake violently. And then the engines started, and the thing shot off into space. "What is going on?" Strange asked.
"Looks like this thing has an auto program," Tony responded while his nanosuit transformed in order to keep him grounded.
"Mr. Stark, I don't like this," Peter complained as he started floating. He shot a web down and then stood on the ground again.
For us, we just used our tails to grab something grounded. Strange was okay with the shift in gravity.
Then, something crashed into the side of the ship, causing it to jerk violently. A flying metal piece then went and crashed into Peter, causing him to lose his footing and crash into Strange, who was standing next to him. The piece of metal then began to cover Peter and form his nanosuit.
Peter and Strange then began to be pulled into the hole Peter's suit had caused when entering the ship. Strange's cloak grabbed onto a piece of metal, but it broke, leaving Strange to fall into the hole. Before he could go through, Peter webbed his hand and pulled him back, unlocking the six metallic legs in the process. Once he was pulled to safety, Tony then froze the area with the hole.
"Friday, what is going on?" Tony asked once everyone was safe.
"The suit for Spider-Man was detected to be poor in space, so I dispatched the nanosuit you built for him," Friday explained her reasoning.
I raised a brow at this. 'Is this fate's work, trying to fix something that went wrong. I am thankful for not being visible to it, or who knows what it would have done to us.'
"You made this suit for me?" Peter asked Tony, who just looked away.
"Yes, but it was not for you to use n—" He was cut off by the ship shaking violently, much more violently this time, as if we were shot.
"Hang on." Strange casted barriers to protect everyone from the shaking and falling alien junk. When the shaking stopped, Strange helped Tony, who had lost his footing, up.
"That was close," Tony said as he got up.
"Yeah," Strange agreed.
Peter then lowered himself, hanging upside down on a web. "Let me just say, if aliens wind up implanting eggs in my chest or something and I eat one of you, I am sorry."
"Okay, I don't want another single pop-culture reference out of you, do you understand?" Tony shot him a warning.
"I am trying to say that something is coming," Peter clarified.
Thwack thwack thwack.
Everyone looked down at the metal ball that had landed between the three heroes.
BOOM!
The ball exploded, sending the three heroes flying back due to the impact.
Two figures then came from a hole that one side of the ship from which the ball had come.
"Stand down," Drax shouted as soon as he stepped out. The moment he spotted Strange trying to get up, he threw his dagger at him. Strange managed to create a shield to block the dagger. "Noooo!" Drax screamed after failing to injure him. Strange just sent his cloak to cover up his face, muffling his screams.
Peter Quinn, who was the second figure, started to have a shootout with Tony, both using their thrusters to move around. Nozomi and I just stayed where we were, watching in ammusement as the two groups tried to kill each other.
Tony shot a small missile at Quinn, who dodged it, but it exploded upon hitting the area in front of him, pushing him back into Tony. Tony threw him on the side, where Quinn skilfully landed before pressing a button. A device on Tony then expanded, and he was pulled to a wall and was stuck there.
On the side, Peter woke up from his concussion only to find Mantis staring at him. He got freaked out and started to crawl away while webbing the poor girl. As soon as he stood up, Quinn came from his side and kicked him away, where he proceeded to shoot him, but Peter was able to dodge with his spider-sense. He then tried to attack Quinn, only for Quinn to throw a ball, which enlarged into a net and captured him.
Tony manages to free himself from the wall and points a repulsor at Drax, who just managed to free himself from Strange's cloak. Quinn pulls Peter in a hostage hold and points a blaster at him.
"Everybody stay where the f you are, chill the f out," Quinn Said before reaching over and undoing his mask. He then points the blaster at Tony. "I am gonna ask you this one time...Where is Gamora?"
Tony then points his other hand to Quinn, undoing his mask, he replies. "Oh yeah, I'll do you one better, who is Gamora?"
Drax, who is under Tony's foot, speaks up. "I'll do you one better. Why is Gamora?"
"Tell me where the girl is, or I swear I am gonna french fry this little freak," Quinn threatened, pointing the blaster at Peter again.
"Let's do it, you shoot my guy, I blast him, let's go," Tony shot back, morphing his repulsor into an alien-type blaster.
"Do it, Quinn. I can take it," Drax said, the last part sounding like it was meant for himself.
"No, he can't, Quinn," Mantis called from behind Quinn, still webbed.
"Yeah, you can't," Strange agreed with her.
"You don't wanna say where she is, it's fine. I'll just kill all three of you and beat it out of Thanos myself, starting with you," He said as he looked at Peter.
"What? Thanos?" Strange asked, starting to piece it together. "Alright, let me ask you this, um...what master do you serve?"
"What master do I serve? What am I supposed to say, Jesus?" Quinn asked in confusion.
"You're from Earth?" Tony asked, deadpanned.
"No, I am not from Earth, I am from Missouri," Quinn corrected.
"That's on Earth, dipshit," Tony shot back.
With this, the dam broke. "Pffffft hahahaha, I can't hold it in any longer." I burst out laughing, grabbing all the attention in the room, including that of all the blasters and repulsors, but I couldn't care less as I was busy laughing. "Nozomi, tell me you got this. This is gold."
Nozomi, besides me, had her phone out, hand on her mouth, seconds away from laughing. "Way ahead of you, brother."
"Jesus, you kids scared me," Tony said, sighing a sigh of relief.
"Who the hell are you?" Quinn asked, gun still pointing in our direction. "Are you with Thanos?"
Peter then tilted his head at the question. "Wait, you're not with Thanos?"
Quinn's face morphed in disgust. "With Thanos," He repeated, disgusted. "I am here to kill Thanos. Thanos took my girl. Who even are you?"
"We're the Avengers, man," Peter said as his mask came off. Quinn let him go.
"You're the Avengers? You're the ones Thor told us about?" Mantis asked, still webbed.
"Thor? You know Thor?" Tony asked, taking his foot off of Drax.
"Yeah, tall guy, not-so-good looking," Quinn answered.
"Jealous?" I asked him, causing him to look at me, irritated.
"I hate you already,"
"I'll grow on you,"
"God, I hope not,"
"Can we get back on topic?" Strange asked while walking closer. "Who are you and what do you know about Thanos?"
"We are the guardians of the galaxy, and Thanos took our friend Gamora," Mantis replied, still webbed.
"Gamora?" Nozomi asked, feigning pondering. "Green skin beauty?"
Quinn nodded. "You know her?"
"Yeah, she is his daughter," Nozomi replied with a grim expression. "And if he got her, it means that he is likely going after the Soul Stone."
All eyes turned to us with varying expressions, but one thing in common. Curiosity.
"Kids, how much do you really know about Thanos and the infinity stones?" Tony asked, his face devoid of any playfulness.

Things just got moving. Most of them are going to go according to the movie before taking a turn and falling off script, but it will be interesting.
Anyway, sorry for not being able to release two chapters today, and I have some bad news.
I have to go somewhere with my family for Christmas, and I can't decline, so I won't be able to post, and if I am, it will be one chapter max. So sorry.
Anyways, on to the positives. I am writing a new book about being in MHA as Bakugo's brother with the abilities of Shinra from Fire Force. I was inspired by the new season where Bakugo was...I don't even have words to describe it.
I will inform you when I release it, and thanks for the support; it means a lot.
Leave a review to help me write my book better, and don't forget to drop the power stones.
Peace out.
