Hey guys! This is my first story, and I want to try and work on my writing skills as I go along. So please, no flames, but support in any form is appreciated!

After having all of your dreams come true, then ripped to pieces, what does one want? Nothing, as Loki had found out, except for the need of power over all other beings around him. He hadn't been just some asgardian, he was the King of Asgard, the ruler of all asgardians, and yet he was still defeated by his brother. The God of Mischief had all but forgotten about Thor's hammer, Mjolnir. He remembered as the hammer nearly crushed his chest, then getting blown back when Thor had broken the rainbow bridge, Odin waking up just in time to catch his sons, getting dropped into an abyss...
'Did I get dropped? Odin couldn't have dropped me, otherwise Thor would be with me, and Thor wasn't fighting all out when we fought, so why suddenly the change of heart? Why drop his brot...'
"Odin-son! Are you listening?" Loki turned around and noticed that the big man's lacky had returned. Suited in a cowl that hid his eyes, teeth with a hint of red, and blue skin characterized the poor husk known as the Other.
"What is it you were talking about? I see no reason for you to tell me any more. I know the deal. You supply the man power, and I the leadership, you'll get the tesseract when I defeat Earth, or as you call it, Terra." Loki said, looking regal as he changed from his peaceful attire, a creative black, light-armor with green and gold details, to a war-like appearance, mostly the same as his other one, but with a cape and his gold horned helmet.
"Not even a true asgardian, yet you still have their dull mind. You know my leader, you know his power, but perhaps you do not understand his positon in the galaxy." The blue alien held no power himself, but his boss was one who deserved respect, and Loki knew better than to invoke his wrath.
"And I'm to presume that he has a connection to someone that can help me destroy my brother's newfound haven? I thought we had identified all threats against our plan." Loki said as civil as he could.
"No, for once we found something that was... unexpected." This made the God pause, for what could go under his radar?
"So what is it that has worried you so?"
"A new barrier, though it will be easily taken care of once you get your hands on the tesseract. The danger that has been discovered is a race other than homo sapiens on the planet Terra."
'Another race? Coudn't be that dangerous, unless... No they couldn't have survived, Heimdall would have notified the All-Father.'
"What would this newfound presence be, exactly?" Loki asked, full of dread.
"The Olympian Gods."
'Terrific... The only species on Earth that held any power over Asgard, but this is the Other I'm talking about, surely his boss has made a plan.'
"They are not like you and your people. They are bound to Terra, but they are all powerful. Do not fret, as they can only attack if provoked personally, as in their own laws, but..."
"But what? What could worry me further than attacking an all-powerful God who could very well be in disguise?"
The Other was conflicted, for he was directed to ensure Loki would not provoke these almighty beings, but if he told Loki, then the God would try to take care of all the loose ends, while making sure the Olympians know who is to blame due to his flashy attitude.
"These Gods have offspring with these homo sapiens, among these people they are commonly called demigods. They are spread out, as there are two groups of them, one in California, but the other group is located in New York, near where you have decided to open the portal for the chitauri." The Other stated.
"It was in the plan to destroy all resistance. They are merely another nuisance to be dealt with." Loki answered.
"Perhaps, but you are not to provoke these Gods, for if they discovered my master's involvement, than their laws shall allow them to leave their world and attack us. We expect some resistance from these local demigods, as well as the other heroes of Terra, so we have decided to give you a weapon that harnesses the tesseract's power."
At this, Loki perked up. They had talked about acquiring Loki a weapon to rival his brother's. The tesseract, if anything, could provide a weapon powerful enough to do so.
The Other continued, displaying the scepter, "This scepter was specifically made to rival Mjolnir, though it has no name, it is incredibly powerful, forged from the raw power that the tesseract holds."
"But you don't have the tesseract?" The God questioned.
"Even without the tesseract, we hold a small portion of the power it possesses. It is everything that currently resides in the galaxy, as is the reason it has unlimited power." The Other stated.
Loki, now fully understanding what item he was after, stepped over to the alien. The scepter was reaching out to him. The God was in a state of such excitement that he started counting his very steps while heading to the alien.
Grasping the sceptor and feeling a rush of power, the God returned to his peaceful attire and looked at the alien, then said, "Well, I shouldn't keep Terra waiting any further. Time to open the portal."
