Here is the sequel of Avenge the Stars! If you are new to reading this series, go and read the first one or you may be thoroughly confused!
I have not finished writing this story. I am up to chapter 19 but I have lost motovation so I am hoping Reviews will put that back into me. :) This story will update once a week until I finish writing it and then when I finish writing it I will update it twice a week. :)
Disclaimer: I do not own Star Wars or Avengers. Disney does. If I was Disney, I wouldn't be writing this as a FanFic. ;)
NOTE. There will be OOCness in this story. Just giving you warning. Also, this is a Loki Redemtion fic so yah c: (eventually Dx)
It was three weeks since they felt the passing of three of their own. Their death echoed through the force leaving them to wonder... who was powerful enough to kill the powerful Jedi of different ranks?
Who, that was the question everyone was asking. Along with how... how had they managed this horrible feat? And why, why had this person killed them?
The funerals were a quiet affair, only Jedi and close friends. Padmé Amidala was near tears through the entire ceremony, staring at the spot where Anakins body would have lied if they had it.
Chancellor Palatine also attended, looking rather sad and quiet as Master Yoda gave his speech. The elderly mad shut his eyes, listening but not watching.
The other Jedi stood, grief on their faces for their fallen comrades. No one had expected this... not a bodiless funeral for the Negotiator, the Hero with no Fear and his Padawan.
It seemed that they forgot that the looked up to Jedi were still just mortal. Well, except for those who cared a great deal for the deceased. Padmé wiped a tear away that had broken through her eyes and slid down her face.
Her Ani was dead. Her love. Her husband. He was dead.
One of her oldest and closest friends. Dead.
And a young child that had no place in this war. Dead.
On this spot, looking at where the empty coffins lowered into the ground that was supposed to be for three people close to her, a lone tear streaked down her face, one of many to come later when she was alone with only her grief.
Three weeks. Three whole weeks since Loki dumped them in Helhiem, and went off to join Dooku. Three whole weeks since Loki cast some kind of spell on them that made it so they couldn't sense one another. Three whole weeks since their supposed death.
Everyone who mattered thought them dead, except one person. The Jedi thought they were dead. Dooku thought they were dead. Palpatine thought they were dead. The Republic thought they were dead and… Padmé thought they were dead.
Yes. Anakin decided that once they got out of here, he was going to kill Loki for this. For betraying them and stranding them here, oh Loki was not going to get out of this unscathed.
Suddenly Anakin felt himself shoved to the ground, making him snap his eyes open to see Hela standing over top of him with an annoyed glare on her face. She pointed a long fingernailed finger at him, "You are not focusing." She accused him.
Anakin just sent a glare back at her, "This is useless!" he said waving his hands around the room, at the various open books that Hela had lying around them, as he sat up properly.
"Useless? You think that finding a way to get you home is useless?" Hela asked, raising an eyebrow at him.
Anakin jumped to his feet, "No!" he snapped, crossing his arms in front of his chest, "The way we're going on trying to find a way home!"
Hela tilted her head at him, making Anakin sigh as he explained what he meant.
"Your father is the only one you know that can travel the realms without that Bifrost thing, right?" at Hela's nod, Anakin continued, "Well, how old is he? A thousand? Older? By what you've told me, you guys age slower than us, so he's had way more times that my life span to work out that spell!"
Anakin ran his metal hand through his hair, "I've been training magic with you for three weeks and all I can do is go invisible! I'll never work out that spell in time."
Hela nodded her head, "That is true, but the fact that you have worked out the spell for the invisibility in this short amount of time is a marvel in itself." She pointed out, "The others have not managed to do so yet."
"No, but Ahsoka can make fire come out of nowhere and Obi-Wan can make an energy ball." Anakin pointed out, but even he had to admit that invisibility was a bit more advanced than the others.
"I know it is hard to learn to manipulate your force like this after so long of learning it otherwise." Hela started, "But you must learn! Would you rather sit in Helhiem doing nothing? Or would you prefer to help me sort the dead?" Hela raised an eyebrow at Anakin who grimaced.
"Uh, no thanks on that last offer." Every night, or so Anakin assumed was night, Hela vanished to sort though the dead that the day had offered her and decided on where to send them in their final resting place. To be honest, it was rather… freaky.
Hela just smiled and then pointed to the ground, "Then start focusing your magic more. Out of the four of you, you are the one with the most potential. Obi-Wan and Ahsoka are strong, but not as much as you and Rex… well, he's as magic as a Bilgesnipe."
Anakin sighed and then sat down on the floor again and couldn't help but wonder why he was doing this.
Ahsoka leaned on the head of the bed she had been sleeping on, watching her right hand as a small flame flickered around her fingers. She only felt a light tingle where it touched her skin, not a burn as others would expect.
The door of her room slid open and Rex entered. He was wearing a black outfit that Hela said was a bit Asgardian, since he couldn't stay in his armour all the time. She smiled up to him as the clone entered.
She extinguished the fire on her hand and patted the bed beside her. Rex smiled and walked over and sat down next to her.
"How are you going, sir?" Rex asked, making Ahsoka chuckle slightly.
"Oh, you know Rexster, between magic practise with Hela, and normal Jedi training with Anakin I've been keeping busy. A bit of peace would be nice every now and then, though."
Rex smiled and leaned back on the bed, "I've had too much of that. After Hela threw me out of her magic room saying I had as much magic as a 'Midgardian canine' I've had nothing to do."
Ahsoka couldn't help the chuckle, but she shook her head, "Sorry Rex." She said, "I'm getting stir crazy. We've been in this place for so long, and I haven't seen daylight in that time."
She placed a hand on her forehead, and rested her elbows on her legs. Rex placed a hand on her shoulder, "Don't worry, commander. I'm sure General Skywalker will get that spell soon."
Ahsoka sent a sad smile to the clone. If Anakin was having as much luck as she was with advancing with magic, which wasn't much at all, then he would work that realm travel spell out for a very long time.
Obi-Wan held his lightsaber in his right hand and his other hand poised out the front of his body. He looked at where his opponent stood if he was fighting one and then swung his lightsaber, as if blocking a downward strike of an opponent, and then flicked it up in a chopping motion.
Obi-Wan continued in his Kata, his senses going out as he did the movements that he had known since he was a young Padawan under tutelage of Qui-Gon. He knew the movements by heart, so when his mind wandered he didn't have to worry about messing it up.
When he finished that one, he moved onto the next. With his senses expanded out he could feel the inhabitants of the realm. Oh, he couldn't sense Ahsoka, Anakin or Rex's force presences, but he knew where they were.
He could fell Ahsoka and Rex in Ahsoka's room. Anakin, and the force swirling around him, in the same room as Hela. Several of Hela's aids were wandering around doing whatever they were assigned to do.
And worst of all, he could sense the dead gathering in the judgement room that Hela would go to at night time.
Quickly turning his senses away from them, he returned his senses towards his former Padawan. The force was swirling around the man stronger, and Obi-Wan couldn't help but think about what Anakin had done on Mortis.
Really, Obi-Wan had no doubt that Anakin would get them out of this realm. But it was a matter on the when. Then suddenly, Anakin's presence vanished from the room, making Obi-Wan quick his shut eyebrow in surprise.
Then Obi-Wan stopped his Kata, and opened his eyes. Looking just a few feet away from him, was Anakin sitting crossleged on the floor with his eyes tightly shut.
"Anakin?" Obi-Wan started, looking at the Jedi closely.
Anakin cracked his eyes open and blinked as he looked around. "Huh." He said, a small smile on his face as his eyes fell on Obi-Wan, "It worked."
"You mean your teleportation? Then yes, it appears that it worked rather splendidly.' Obi-Wan asked, his own smile playing on his lips.
Oh, weren't Mace and the others going to be surprised went they found out about this.
Anakin nodded his head, "I decided to try something different." The man said, standing up from his sitting position, "Instead of focusing on those books of Helas and what she was telling me, I ignored them."
"Your usual tactic then?" Obi-Wan teasingly pointed out.
Anakin just sent a cheeky grin back at the older man, "Hey, don't fix what isn't broken." He replied, "But I focused on what it felt like when Loki teleported me on Geonosis. Not the warping – that was different and more difficult, but just simple teleporting."
Anakin couldn't help the laugh, "Loki said it was simple to teleport and I can't help but agree now."
Obi-Wan frowned, "But you've only teleported once." The older Jedi pointed out, looking at the almost giddy Jedi in concern.
Anakin nodded his head, "I know… but it's strange… like once I worked it out, it just clicked in my head and it feels as natural as walking or running. I'll show you." And with that, Anakin held his hand out to Obi-Wan.
Obi-Was clipped his lightsaber back onto his belt and looked at Anakins hand. He knew the feeling that Anakin was talking about. It was the same with his energy balls, and Ahsoka's fire.
But it didn't mean he had to like it.
Obi-Wan took hold on Anakin's hand tightly and the younger Jedi smiled and shut his eyes. Obi-Wan decided to do the same, and then he felt a strange feeling around him, and when he opened his eyes up, he saw Ahsoka and Rex staring at them with wide eyes, and the happy grin on Anakin's face.
Well, maybe they would be getting out of here sooner than they thought.
This was so frustrating. So so frustrating! Three weeks with these idiotic mortals and they had done nothing! Yes, he knew the strengths of planning, and not rushing into anything, but why was it taking them this long?
Yes, he knew his own failures when it came to trying to conquer Midgard, but he wasn't at full strengths and relying on the Tesseract mainly rather than his own magic. And he did say to the Count and Sidious that he did not want to be seen on Midgard during this.
But he wanted Thanos dead, and the sooner the better. It surprised the god that the Titan had not found him yet, or if he had… what was he planning? In any way, Loki was not happy that they were dragging this out.
At least they had stopped wasting their droids on the planet below, having drawn back all remaining forces a week ago to puzzle the Midgardians a bit.
But now they were just in orbit of the moon, doing nothing. Maybe he should nip in and see Hela and see how she's going… and how well the others have progressed… but the god decided against it.
He'd find out soon, anyway.
Loki opened his eyes up as the sound of footsteps stopped out front of his door. With a wave of his hand, the door opened up and a lone droid stood there, looking at Loki with its blank face.
"The Count requests your presence in the bridge." The droid told Loki, making the god stand up, and sigh.
"If that is what he wishes." Loki said and then quickly vanished, leaving the droid standing there.
