First time posting a fan fic and I hope it's not too bad. I write a fair bit, but of my own ideas and mostly my own characters (my friends help me out) so this is my first time writing about a group of characters that are not made by me. I have been reading a lot of fan fics lately and it got me interested in writing my own... so here I am. The first two chapters will be the same as what happened in the original Thor with a couple changes to what happens. Please bare with me while its basically a review, I will try not to keep it too long.
Disclaimer: I do not own Thor or any Marvel characters. Unfortunately.
Chapter 1
The Destroyer was just leaving when Loki followed Odin and Thor into the weapons vault, the two stunned but Loki completely unchanged and void of all visible emotions. The bars closed behind the Destroyer and the vault was left in an uncomfortable silence. Loki looked around at the destruction that had happened. There were Asgardians lying dead on the floor and well as one Jotun and pieces of the others frozen into the ice on the sides. Thor broke the silence with a simple statement, "The Jotun's must pay for what they have done."
Odin looked at his first born, stating the obvious, "They have paid, with their lives. The Destroyer did its work, the casket is safe, and all is well."
Loki watched as Thor became more and more irritated by the Allfather's calm demeanor, "All is well? They broke into the weapons vault! If the Frost Giants had stolen even one of these relics-" He was cut off midsentence by Odin.
"But they didn't."
Thor took an angry step forward, "Well I want to know why!"
"I have a truce with Laufey, King of the Jotun."
"He just broke your truce!" Thor cried out in frustration, "They know you are vulnerable!"
"What action would you take?" Odin asked Thor, remaining calm even when his son had raised his voice. Loki watched in silence knowing nothing good would come out of him saying something. Odin and Thor were both set in their ways of thinking and doing things that anyone else's view would just be seen as irrelevant or stupid.
Thor continued to argue, not paying attention to what little the fight was doing to his father. "March into Jotunheim as you once did, teach them a lesson. Break their spirits so they never dare try to cross our borders again."
"You are thinking only as a warrior."
"This was an act of war!" Thor cried out.
"It is the act of but a few, doomed to fail." Odin tried to point out to his son. His way of seeing this was logical but Thor could not see it in his blindness.
"Look how far they got!"
"We will find the breach in our defenses and it will be sealed."
"As King of Asgard-" Thor began. Loki frowned, Thor was not king, the Frost Giants invading the vault had put a halt to the crowning ceremony right before he was named King.
"But you're not King," Odin paused in his reply, "Not yet."
Knowing Thor had lost the argument with their father, Loki zoned out of the rest of the discussion but stayed in the room in case something interesting did happen. Many of the conversations between the Allfather and the god of thunder were rather boring but Loki made sure to stay through many of them. He needed to know the weaknesses of his father and brother. Thor's weaknesses were easy, he was too impulsive and thought that hitting things was the answer to everything. Loki had a more logical way of looking at things and he was considered a genius when he stood beside his oaf of a brother.
He cleared his thoughts when Thor stomped out and he left on his own shortly after. Odin remained in the weapons vault for a moment before leaving behind his sons. Loki followed Thor through the castle, trailing behind him but not seen by his hot headed brother. He walked into the dining room shortly before Thor flipped a table over in anger while giving out a cry of rage. Loki stepped around the food littered across the floor to sit down on the steps beside Thor just as he was sitting down himself.
"It is unwise to be in my company right now, brother." Thor murmured before sighing with defeat. "This was to be my day of triumph."
"It will come. In time." Loki assured Thor even though he wished he didn't have to say those words. He never wanted his realm to suffer under the idiotic rule of Thor but it would come eventually; all the Frost Giants had done was delay the inevitable. Thor was the first born and the heir to the Allfather. Even if Loki would be a better ruler, it would never come to pass. Sif, Hogun, Volstagg, and Fandral walk into the room but both brothers ignored them and continued on with their conversation as if they weren't there. "If its any conciliation, I think you're right. About the Frost Giants, about Laufey, about everything." Loki began saying things that he knew Thor wanted to hear. "If they found a way to penetrate Asgard's defenses once, who's to say they won't try again, next time with an army!"
"Exactly!"
"There's nothing you can do without defying father." Loki met Thor's eyes and fainted shock and denial, "No, no, no, no, no. I know that look!"
"It's the only way to ensure the safety of our borders." Thor persisted, thinking Loki would easily come over to his way of thinking; which Loki allowed him to believe.
"It's madness!" Loki argued with Thor knowing full well that he was only driving Thor more towards the idea.
Volstagg decided to step into the conversation at that moment, "Madness, what sort of madness?"
"We're going to Jotunheim."
"What?!" Volstagg managed to choke out.
"This isn't like a journey to Earth where you summon a little lightning and thunder and the mortals worship you as a god; this is Jotunheim!" Fandral exclaimed in disbelief at what he had heard the prince say.
"My father fought his way into Jotunheim, defeated their armies, and took their casket. We will just be looking for answers." Thor assured the others but it was easy to see that he wouldn't just stop at answers. The Frost Giants would probably give them answers without any problems but Thor's temper was what would cause a battle.
Sif looked at him, "It is forbidden!"
Thor looked at them all in turn, set on getting his way, "My friends, have you forgotten all that we have done together? Fandral, Hogun, who led you into the most glorious of battles?" he waited for confirmation before continuing on. "Volstagg, to delicacies so succulent you thought you died and gone to Valhalla?" Again he waited for confirmation. "And who proved wrong all who scoffed at the idea that a young maiden could be one of the fiercest warriors this realm has ever known?"
Sif refused to give in to Thor and gave him the truthful answer, "I did."
"True, but I supported you, Sif. My friends, we're going to Jotunheim."
The group left at once, and called for their respective horses before leaving the palace and galloping down the bridge to the Bifrost. At the end of a rainbow bridge over water was the sphere structure with a hollow cone protruding from it. Before the entrance of the Bifrost, a gatekeeper stood there facing towards Asgard.
"Leave this to me." Loki told the others before dismounting and coming to a stop in front of the gatekeeper. "Good Heimdall-" He began before he was cut off.
"You are not dressed warmly enough." He paused to hear Loki's stuttering before continuing on, "Do you think that you can deceive me?"
"You must be mistaken..." Loki found himself at a loss for words despite his reputation.
Thor stepped in at that moment and stood just off to the side of Loki yet still in front. "Heimdall, may we pass?"
Heimdall looked at them all in turn with glowing golden eyes, "Never has an enemy slipped my watch until this day. I wish to know how that happened."
Thor took that as a means of allowing them to go, "Then tell no one where we have gone until we have returned. Understand?" he walked past Heimdall and into the Bifrost.
When the others were passing Heimdall and Loki, Volstagg decided to add in a small word of his own. "What happened, silver tongue turned to lead?"
"Tell the Allfather that we have gone to Jotunheim as soon as we are gone. I do not trust Thor there with his temper." Loki whispered to Heimdall as he passed. Heimdall followed and promptly took his place at the center of the Bifrost.
Heimdall turned on the Bifrost before turning to them and warning them, "Be warned, I will honour my oath to protect this realm as it's gatekeeper. If your return threatens the safety of Asgard, the Bifrost will remain closed to you and you'll be left to die in the cold wastes of Jotunheim."
Volstagg turned to look at him, "Couldn't you just leave the bridge open for us?"
"To leave the bridge open would unleash the full power of the Bifrost and destroy Jotunheim with you upon it."
"I have no plans to die today." Thor assured him.
"None do." Heimdall replied and with that, he fully powered the Bifrost and the group got pulled into the bridge and sent down to Jotunheim.
Okay, so with that I must apologize. It was longer than I had anticipated but I hope it was good none the less. I will be adding the next chapter soon as I want to get onto my own content as soon as possible. Thanks to everyone who reads and/or reviews.
