Let This Be Your Last Battlefield
The small planetoid was uninhabited and nothing more than a rock in space rolling around double stars. It was the most unassuming place, but it would be the site of a battle that would determine the fate of the universe.

	Thanos growled his frustration and poured more energy into the attack. No mortal should be able to stand up to him. He has defeated gods and others stronger than this girl. She would fall and the universe would be his. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She falters, stumbling back. The gem glows again, and once more she begins to press forward, the hammer continuing to whirl and build up a stronger and stronger charge as she begins to advance again. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Thanos advanced toward her, the barrage of cosmic energies not faltering as he did. He tapped into the soul gem and used it to start sucking her soul away from her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

That almost succeeds a couple times. Initially she's caught off guard, feeling some part of herself pulling away from her. She fights back with the mind and reality gems, using two gems to fight off the more trained effects of one. Even still, its a battle within the larger fight as she continues to close quarters with him even as the heat from the building ultimate strike begins scarring and burning her arm faster than the power gem can heal the wounds, and the hammer begins glowing almost too bright to look at. She would have long since lost control of the energies had she not had the power gem.

A couple times her advance stops, she even backslides here and there, but each time, she digs in again, forcing the shield into the path of the energy beam.

"You... can't... win."

	"I WILL win!" He tapped into the time gem and slowed time down around her until it was almost stopped. Then he struck. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He should have kept up the effect before. This time, when pressed, she's ready for it. When he swings, despite the speed boost, due to the space gem, she's further away than it looked.

She can't fight off the time gem's effect entirely while also fighting the soul gem, and needs both gems to counter his one... but even in slow motion, the space gem interacts with the power gem to try and make the ultimate strike close the gap and connect anyway, the distance between herself and Thanos expanding and contracting as his swing leads him to step into the super-slow-mo hammer throw, Mjolnir glowing with energies even it couldn't contain without the power gem, mystical energy, lightning and the raw energy of the power gem all cascading and crackling around the hammer as it flies very slowly at Thanos, continually correcting its course and distance no matter how fast he dodges.

Its sort of like those old monster movies. The heroes may be running, moving stuff behind them. The monster just plods along, seemingly further and further behind - and yet they're always there somehow, the hammer just continuing to come at the mad Titan, inch by inch, in Hollywood slow motion.

Thanos was not expecting that. The hammer struck and it felt like the burning of a million suns. The Titan screamed as the cosmic energy met with mystical energies, lightning and energy from the power gem. For a brief moment at the center of destruction it was calm and then all hell broke loose.

Thanos was on fire as he went flying backward. He hit the ground with enough force to put him a few feet below the surface.

The resulting explosion sends Sarah flying as well. Her right arm is still blackened from the build up, and now she's more than a little singed in general as the hammer flies back to her.
Thankfully, the power gem keeps her conscious, even if barely, and testing even its power. Likewise, the mind gem helps keep her lucid. Likewise, barely.

Even so, it takes a few moments for her to realize she's the only one standing.

Stumbling, she moves to try and collect the two gems before Thanos can recover.

	Death approached the spot there Thanos lay. He wasn't dead, but she was going to collect him and take him away. There was a small place for him in her cold heart. Sarah would be able to collect the gems since Death has no interest in them. She collected Thanos and disappeared. (Reply to this)(Parent)
