[1] - The Aeon (The Re-Emergence Arc)

Within the scopes of the Universe, a floating clock tower kept on spinning repeatedly as the Universe's will.

Inside of the phenomenal Clock Tower was a man with messy blonde hair, pearl blue eyes with a toned body. His right eye was glowing in green substance as he looked through a battle situated in Wakanda, Earth.

'The End is coming... I and Thanos are very different, we have both responsibilities as Warlock, people with cosmic abilities. But as I used it for the better sake of the Universe, he used his for his personal matters.'

This was Xander Aeon, The Symbol of Time, The He-Who-Stops-Time, The one who balances the Universe. He had his own responsibility of stopping people from other Universe's from messing up the Universe's Timeline.

However he is only a puppet being held by the Universe's will, even he couldn't stop Thanos with 6 Infinity Stone who has the power to eradicate half of the Universe's Population.

He could very well stop Thanos personally, but this would destroy the timeline he protected from millions of years. Doing something to it would just make his previous works useless

'This boy. . . We are similar.' Xander thought as he looked at another world, more specifically in Titan. There he watched as Thanos battles the Sorcerer Supreme, Iron Man, Spider-Man, Drax the Destroyer, the Mantis, and Star-Lord.

He looked deeply at the boy named 'Peter Parker' who was known as Spider-Man. They were very similar, both gained a Superpower from an accident and uses it as a responsibility to help people in need.

Xander looked through Peter's past and saw how young Peter was.

'Fufu... I'm ashamed... Maybe I should give him a blessing before I die.' Xander grinned as his right arm glowed into blue light and waved in the direction of Peter Parker.

In Titan.

Doctor Strange cast a spell and a portal appeared besides Thanos. There, Spider-Man appeared and punched Thanos in the cheek, only to enter another portal in another direction.

"Magic!"

Spider-Man appeared again from another portal and kicked Thanos in the head.

"More Magic!"

He then leaps into another portal. As Thanos tries to recover, he appears through another portal behind him.

"Magic with a kick!"

He kicks him again in the head with his right leg, and again finally appears on Thanos' right.

"Magic with a-" Before he can finish Thanos turns, grabbing him from the air, and throwing him to the ground, with his hand around his neck.

"Insect!" Thanos then throws him, about to use the gauntlet, but is interrupted by an explosion caused by Iron Man shooting a missile at him.

As the flames blind Thanos, Spiderman attaches a web to him and strains against it. Thanos pulls Spiderman toward him but looks up as a ship crashes beside him, and Nebula jumps in front of him.

"Well, well."

"You should have killed me."

"It would've been a waste of parts!"

Nebula runs at Thanos, attacking him with her sword whilst asking. "Where's Gamora!"

Strange uses the Space Stone to cast her aside, flailing. Strange forms energy ropes that grapple onto the gauntlet. Thanos tries to pull it free, as Star-Lord shoots an electric magnet onto the ground beside him, holding down his other hand.

Spiderman swings in, and makes a string of web, holding him back, enabling his spider legs to anchor himself, as Strange opens a portal above Thanos out of which drops Mantis, who lands on his shoulders, her hands on his temples. He screams as she tries to put him under.

"Is he under? Don't let up." Iron Man asked whilst pulling the gauntlet away from Thanos.

"Be quick…. He is very strong!" Mantis begged whilst starting to cry.

Star-Lord suddenly landed with the others and approached Thanos.

"I thought you'd be harder to catch. For the record, this was my plan. Not so strong now, huh? Where's Gamora?"

" … My… Gamora…?" Thanos asked with a mourn.

Mantis who felt Thanos' emotions through her abilities was shocked. "He is in anguish!"

"Good." Star-Lord said whilst grinning, however, Mantis' next words shocked him and Drax.

"He… he… he mourns!" Mantis was now crying as her emotions were being affected by Thanos.

"What does this monster have to mourn?!" Drax said angrily, being together with the Guardians for years whilst battling a Maniac and a Living Planet made him feel them as his new family.

Nebula who was reading the emotions being cast by Mantis and Thanos was deeply shocked. Being the adopted daughter of Thanos, she knows many things about the Universe as her father was a massive Warlord of it.

"Gamora..."

"… What?" Star-Lord asked being confused by Nebula's fear, Mantis' cries, and Thanos' hurt expression.

"He took her to Vormir. He came back with the Soul Stone…but she didn't."

Iron-Man who was a Genius, Billionaire, Playboy, Philanthropist was able to comprehend the situation and was very familiar with Star-Lord's anger.

"Okay, Quill, you gotta cool it right now, understand?"

Star-Lord then slowly turned to Thanos.

"Don't, don't, don't engage, we've almost got this off!" Tony begged as only a few more seconds, they would be able to apprehend Thanos.

"Tell me she's lying." Star-Lord was enraged, he ignored Tony's words as a scene of Gamora dying still rests in his mind. "ASSHOLE!!! Tell me you didn't do it!!!"

"I… had… to." Thanos slowly says.

While starting to tear up quietly. "No, you didn't… No, you didn't…" Star-Lord continues to rage and then proceeds to pistol-whipping Thanos in the face. "NO, YOU DIDN'T!!!"

"Quill!" Drax said as he can now comprehend the situation.

Quill uses his gun to pound Thanos in the face twice. Iron Man goes to hold him back, as Peter Parker is left to pull off the gauntlet.

"Hey, stop! Hey, stop! Stop! Hey, stop! Stop!"

"It's coming! It's coming! I got it! I got it…!!" Peter said getting excited. However, that turned into shock as he could see the change in Thanos' expressions.

Thanos wakes, butting Mantis from his shoulders, and grabbing the cuff of the gauntlet just as it is sliding off his hand, causing Parker to stumble back, and Mantis to go flying.

Peter then sees Mantis flying. "Oh, God!" He jumps and hugs her, extending his spider legs which give them a safe landing.

Strange summons a weapon, and Thanos uses the Space Stone to throw him away. Then, Iron Man shoots at him, but Thanos beats him down and uses the Space Stone to pull down the surface of a moon. Stark tries to fly away, but a large chunk pins him down.

However, Spider-Man could feel something running through his veins, it was a green glow that looked very familiar to Strange's Time Stone.

"W-What the hell is this!!" Everyone besides Thanos looked at Spider-Man, only to see him being affected by this green lightning-like substance spreading through his body.

"FRIDAY, What the hell is that?" Tony asked the A.I. inside of his suit.

[Peter's body is creating its own electrical energy through the process of bio electrogenesis.]

"What does that means, FRIDAY?!" Tony said as he began to panic.

[Peter is able to generate and manipulate a form of bio-electricity that his body produces, and can utilize the energy for multiple purposes.]

"So it's like a built-in arc reactor?!"

[Yes, but Peter would be able to safely use it without any side effects.]

Although Tony is slowly getting jealous, they have to fight Thanos first and stop him from getting the Time Stone in Strange's amulet.

In the Clock Tower.

Xander watched this fight with excitement, he could see the massive twist of fate even though he has known this scene for thousands of years.

"HAHAHA!! That Star-Lord sure is an idiot! He just caused half of the population in the Universe!"

Xander looked through the situation for minutes and noticed nothing has changed, Peter's new abilities didn't really gave a positive effect since he doesn't know how to use them.

Xander was happy for this slight effort of his to slightly change something that wouldn't go into a Butterfly effect, he could only see that Peter would just get stronger with it.

".... It's time to rest... But alone....." Xander murmured as he watched the whole Universe' half of the population get dusted, every one of them has either a friend, acquaintance, or something. Whilst Xander has been trapped in this Clock Tower for millions of years.

He has been blinded by his own Responsibilities and Duties that he has forgotten about himself. His eyes started to swell as he could see his limbs slowly get dusted.

"... Goodbye." Xander murmured as he closed his eyes for the last time, with a small tear escaping from his right eye.

*Swish!!*
