Interlude Ancient One
Ancient One knew that Doctor Banner's visit would have consequences. Captain Steve Rogers has just handed over the time stone to her. He said they won. However, his eyes shone with defeat. Ancient One knew what that meant. He had access to time travel, and he was going to come back. Create a new timeline with Peggy Carter. He'll probably make sure there is less suffering in that timeline. Ancient One used the Stone Time. To her horror, she no longer saw the scene of her death. The Time Stone seemed to sparkle with a thousand other paths! She dies earlier. She lives. It was terrifying! She always knew. But now the Time Stone was showing her more options. Terrified, she looked at the fate of Stephen Strange. This itself! He could become an even greater sorcerer than she had seen before. He could never be a sorcerer. Strange's accident was not so sure!
She felt furious.
The Avengers have destroyed everything!
She didn't know how to fix it, but she was going to do it. She locked herself in her room. She meditated on a Time Stone for a long time, but nothing helped. She was browsing books. She even sought help from other dimensions. It seemed lost. Until Ancient One felt something. It seemed impossible. She felt the signature of the Infinity Stones. All over the Earth. Everywhere. In the air, water, plants, and people. Everything was surrounded by their unparalleled power. What's more, she was intrigued by the fact that she felt like a double power. As if it were one stone in two versions. But it's impossible! Ancient One quickly made a portal to the source of this anomaly.
She was in the woods. She was standing high above the trees. Then she saw a person. A man in golden armor, a helmet with horns, and a scepter in his left hand. He was pale and sweaty. In his right hand, she saw the spinning of the Reality Stone.
Loki, God of Mischief. The same one who tried to control Earth. The Time Stone showed her he would be defeated, so she and the other sorcerers didn't fight him.But now nothing was for sure, goddamn Avengers.
Loki turned to her.
"I wasn't expecting visitors, Ancient One," Loki said.
"Do you know who I am?" she was surprised.
"Oh yes. At the beginning of the eighteenth century, I was bored and spent several years as a student of your lovely order. Your tricks are weak," said Loki.
"Weak? We're protecting the Earth from Dark Threats," said Ancient One.
"You benefit from it yourself," Loki said.
"How dare you?" Ancient One was prepared to fight.
"I'm not going to fight you mortal. Now go away while I let you. You don't want to know what's going to happen," Loki replied.
"I'm not going to," Ancient One replied.
Suddenly, someone new appeared in the glare of blue and gray. It was a purple, powerful man in golden armor and a helmet. He was holding a tesseract. Ancient One immediately cast an invisibility spell on herself. For a moment she thought Loki would betray her, but he didn't seem to care about her presence.
"How did you do it, Trickster?" the man growled.
"What have I done, Great Thanos?" Loki asked.
"You forged the signatures of the Infinity Stones! When you voluntarily gave me the tesseract, I checked it carefully. However, it is a real Infinity Stone. And now I sense on this miserable planet two Reality Stones being used simultaneously and a recently used Space Stone, even though I have it in my hand? How do you explain that? ”Thanos said.
Ancient One looked at Loki in amazement. She knew he was the God of Deception. However, she never thought there could be such a power! If he was so powerful to fake the signatures of the Infinity Stones then why didn't he win in New York? Did he want to lose? The whole battle was just another trick?
Loki smiled. Suddenly the scepter changed. It was the Reality Stone. Two stones of reality. One in the right hand and one in the left hand.
“How did you do that trick?” Thanos asked.
"It's a weak trick. A little magic, nothing more," Loki said, and the two stones vanished from his hands.
"Don't lie. I'm not going to hear any more of your lies," Thanos said and disappeared in the glow of the tesseract.
Suddenly he appeared right behind Loki. Ancient One hesitated to intervene. It wasn't her business. However, the look of horror in Loki's eyes seemed. Thanos appeared right behind Loki. He had a long whip in his hand. He wrapped it around Loki's neck as he tried to fight Thanos with green bolts of energy. The Reality Stone reappeared in his hands and Loki tried to use it, but couldn't. The stone disappeared in his dimensional pocket due to the silencer magic contained in the whip. Ancient One knew what a whip it was. Abomination, suppressing magic. It not only suppressed the power but also tortured the magic-user. No matter who Loki was. She had to destroy that abomination that struck the nature of magic. She revealed herself. Thanos didn't even blink. She started to attack him, but Thanos just grabbed Loki and disappeared with him in the glow of the tesseract.
