Ambush in Knowhere

"Reality is often disappointing. That is, it was. Now, reality can be whatever I want." "You knew I would come." "I counted on it. There's something we need to discuss, Little One."

- Thanos and Gamora

The Ambush on Knowhere was an attempt by Thanos to steal the Reality Stone and manipulate Gamora into revealing the location of the Soul Stone.

Background
"We need to stop Thanos! Which means, we mean to find out where he's going next." "Knowhere." "He must be going somewhere." "No, no. Knowhere? It's a place, we've been there. It sucks. Excuse me, that's our food." "Not anymore it's not." "Thor, why would he be going to Knowhere?" "Because for years, the Reality Stone's been safely stored by a man named the Collector." "If it's with the Collector, it's not safe. Only an idiot would give that man a stone."

Ambush
"Let her go. Or I will blow that of a chin right off your face."

- Star-Lord to Thanos

Upon arrival, the Guardians found Thanos interrogating the Collector. Quill commands the Guardians to move on his signal but they ignored him. As Thanos continues to ask for the Reality Stone, Drax's anger over the deaths of his wife and daughter soon made him about to attack Thanos but Mantis manages to knock him out. Unfortunately, Drax's collapsing on the ground earned Thanos's attention and he threw the Collector into a tank and began to move towards the Guardians. Thanos is then attacked by Gamora and seemingly killed, with Gamora bursting to tears afterwards. However, Thanos's voice boomed and said that he knew Gamora still cared for him. The whole Knowhere is then revealed to be burning and Thanos then muses on how why reality is often unpleasant, with the Reality Stone, he can make reality into whatever he wants as he reveals himself to Gamora. Gamora says that he knew she would come and Thanos said he counted on it and they have something to discuss. Gamora attempts to attack Thanos but Thanos quickly breaks Godslayer and easily restrains her. He then uses the Reality Stone to incatipate Drax and Mantis effortlessly but is confronted by Quill. Thanos mocks Quill by calling him the boyfriend but Quill says that he prefers being called a Titan killer and demands he let her go. Gamora reminds Quill on his promise to kill her and he reluctantly points his gun at her. As they confess their love, Star-Lord shoots but Thanos turns the oncoming blast and Quill's blasters into bubbles before teleporting away.

Aftermath
"Where is Gamora?" "I'll do you one better: Who is Gamora?" "I'll do you one better: Why is Gamora?"
