What great odyssey this will be You can join my conquest because my friends won't wait A deadly world, a terrifying journey! Thanos POV I sat there on my throne and dealt with all of the townspeople's problems, fish people destroying ships? Sent Entity. Dragon getting too close to the capital? Lucci and I dealt with that. The dam almost collapsing? Sent Grievous and Sally. I am a good problem solver, one of the best I dare say, but while I might solve everyone's problems I can't solve my own. I felt something tug on my leg, I look down and I saw Golden Shield. "Hello little one, what do you need?" Golden Shield, she is basically my Gamora and I actually enjoy her company she's adorable. "Mr. Thanos, can you take me to the park?" She looked up at me and I smiled. "Well of course little one, let us go to the park." I stood up and clapped my hands, I walked down the steps Golden Shield following me, she was twice the size of your average toddler. Golden Shield is four years old and she is 53 inches, that is pretty tall for a four-year-old. I walked out of the palace with Golden shield in tow, I'm not letting my eyes off of her, that's my inner dad coming out even though I never had children. A few minutes later we found ourselves at the park let's just say Human parks compared to Minotaur parks are vastly different. The Minotaur park had a combat pit and two boys were fighting in it as a crowd was cheering for them, it was like a little tiny child match with a little tiny audience. Adorable? Yes. Safe? No. I looked on in horror as I saw one of the boys bash the other with his knee and the boy who was hit well, hit the ground. "This isn't healthy..." I muttered, Golden Shield must've heard me as she turned her head to face me. "This is what Minotaurs do when they're bored, they look for action." Golden Shield smiled innocently, the kid who bashed the other kid won the match. "Who's gonna fight the Junior League Champion Iron Fist?!" The kid I now know as Iron Fist said, I looked at Golden Shield with a, "Don't you dare" look in my eyes. She had a smug look on her face, a very smug look. "I will." Golden Shield put her hands on her hips in a loud and proud way. Iron Fist turned to Golden Shield with a smile on his face. "Oh, what do we have here? The daughter of the miserable Minotaur who failed to beat the titan?" Iron Fist snarked. "No, I'm the daughter of the titan who beat the miserable Minotaur." She crossed her arms, my heart skipped a beat, what she said right there means that she thinks of me as a father. Oh. My. God. "Oh really? Then let's see what the daughter of the titan can do." Golden Shield stepped into the ring with her fists up, Iron Fist did the same. "We have a new competitor folks, we have the Junior League Champion, Iron Fist vs the daughter of the Mad Titan, Golden Shield!" Now which one is more impressive the title Junior League Champion or daughter of the Mad Titan? "Three, two, one, let the battle begin!" The kid announcer spoke, as Iron Fist aggressively throws his fist at Golden Shield who blocks the attack, Golden Shield retaliates with a haymaker and she hits much to the surprise of the audience. Iron Fist now enraged to be hit by a girl, he gut-punched her making her skid back, he jumps and Superman punches her. Golden Shield hits the ground and she rolls up back to her feet and she hits the jaw of Iron Fist with a right hoof and then a left hook. She then grabs him by the neck and chokeslams him into the ground and when she let go Iron Fist got up and charged up a wind-up punch. His arm spun and pun around, eventually, his fist caught on fire. "I think the battle is already over because Iron Fist is using his fire fist technique!" The crowd went wild as he finished his wing up and punched Golden Shield who used her ultimate technique. "Shield barrier!" A barrier like substance formed and looked like a grid when Iron Fist punched the barrier nothing happened, instead Iron FIst was pushed back and he fell on his butt. "Wh-what was that?! Tch, no matter." Iron Fist got up and cocked back his fist and shot a flurry of punches at the barrier, every punch sent her way was intense in a matter of seconds her shield was shattered and she was hit by the intense punches. She fell on her back, beaten then Iron FIst stuck his hand out Golden Shield took the hand and she got up. "That was a good fight, there's a tournament that's going to be held in a few days maybe you should sign up?" Iron Fist offered. "I'll think about it, thank you for the legendary fight but now I need to go." She turned around and waddled over to me, what she just did was Minotaur magic... Wow. "Okay, little one let's go get something to eat." We go and walk down the town, I looked around, a bakery, salad restaurant, and a meat restaurant, speaking of which I hadn't eaten since that Manticore. The funny thing about being Thanos one meal can last you up to weeks without hunger coming back to bite you. "I want a salad!" Golden Shield smiled and to the salad restaurant we went. Grievous POV I stood there looking at Lucci, Lucci looked at Entity and Entity looked at me. This battle was going to decide who was stronger... "Plus four!" I slammed my plus four to the discard pile, Lucci smiled grimly. "You fool, plus four!" He slammed his plus four to the discard pile we looked to Entity who put down his plus four, I put down another plus four, and Lucci had sweat going down his forehead and slammed another plus four down. Entity sighed. "Welp..." Entity sighed as we laughed, he then got his twenty cards from the deck. Sally then kicked down the door and Entity mouthed something along the lines of "Help me" "Entity!" Sally called his name furiously, Entity gulped in fear. "Y-yes?" He whimpered. "You were supposed to meet me at the salad restaurant, fifteen minutes ago! Can you explain why you were so late and what was so important you would miss our date?" She asked as a red aura swept the room. "The boys wanted to play Uno..." She snapped her head to look at us and then looked back at Entity a smile crossed her face. "Then you'll have to pay up for it..." She grabbed Entity's leg and dragged him, he clawed at the ground trying to get free. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" He cried as he latched onto the doorway and with one final tug Entity let go as he was dragged away. We sat in silence. "Lucky idiot..."
