Hey guys! I think that this story may be coming to an end soon :( but luckily I have some other ideas for stories :) but anyways just enjoy the chapter.


"Do you know where this gem is?" Fury asked the Avengers, still weary from their last battle against Thanos.

"The island is my best guess" The Captain said, recalling the events that took place on the strange island.

"Yes, but where on the island?" Loki asked thinking to himself. Part of him was still shaken by Thanos's control, but all the more eager to kill him. "We'll send some agents with you to the island" Fury said, he then walked over to agent Hill and told her something.

"I don't think that is a good idea" Thor said. This had been the first time he spoke since they had returned to the Hellicarier. "And why is that?" Fury asked, turning over to face the thunder-god.

"The beings that exist there are incredibly lethal, the SHIELD agents would be killed the second we arrived" Loki said, still not moving his eyes from the floor.

"Very well, you may go when your ready" Fury said, he and agent Hill leaving the room. The Avengers decided that wasting time would be stupid, so they left for the Quinjets almost as soon as Fury left.

The Avengers were led to two Quinjets, one holding Loki, Thor, Clint and Bruce. The other held Iron Man, Captain America, and Black Widow.

"I think that Thanos will have forces they're looking for the gem" Loki said, taking a seat by Thor.

"How many?" Clint asked, he still wasnt fond of Loki, but he now could at least tolerate him. "I don't know, but anything that could halt Thanos's invasion must be important" Loki said, looking down as he thought.

"How are we even suppose to find this thing?" Bruce asked from where he stood. "The gem radiates the same energy as the Tesseract, and those who have been controlled by the Tesseract can sense the emitted rays" Loki said, raising his head to look at Clint. The Silvertongue could see the anger in the archers eyes.

"I apologise for what I did to you, Agent Barton" Loki said before the archer could speak. "Well, I don't think I can ever fully forgive you, but I accept your apology" Clint said, the anger still present. Loki nodded.

Loki looked at Thor, he was being unusually quiet. The Silvertongue examined his older brother. His fist was clenching Mjolnir tightly, The anger in his eyes was much deeper than Barton's.

"What is it, brother?" Loki asked. Thor took in a deep breath, then his eyes met Loki's. "I am going to kill Thanos for what he did to you, brother" He said, the anger growing stronger in his eyes. Clint and Bruce looked at each other, both wanting to know what happened, but not asking.

"You'll need to get in line, brother" Loki said smirking, placing a hand on Thor's shoulder. Thor didn't laugh, he didn't even smile. "He will pay for what he has done" Thor said, strengthening his grasp on Mjolnir. Loki's smirk vanished from his face.

"Thor, you aren't going to make anyone pay without me" Loki said, a very serious look on his face. A small smile forced its way upon Thor's face.

"I wouldn't dream of it, brother" Thor said, both the brother's smiled.

"Were approaching the island" The pilot said. Outside the window was the same ominous island, the dark sand seemed like a warning of the lethal beasts that inhabited the island.

The Quinjet's landed, the passengers emptying out. Loki, Thor, and Steve scanning the woods for any hostiles.

"Ok, so whats the plan?" Natasha asked.

"Find the gem, kill the bad guys" Stark said simply. The others thought and nodded, deciding it was a pretty good plan. And the seven made their way into the forest.

It wasn't long until the first group of enemies appeared, one of them holding a large device.

"We take them out quietly, we can't risk alerting any others" Captain America said. Loki vanished, then reappeared behind the one with the device. Swiftly putting a hand over the alien's mouth and shoving a dagger into his throat, then threw it into the eye socket of another one. Hawkeye fired an arrow into the skull of one that was about to attack Loki, as he did with the last two.

Bruce walked over to the device. "I think this is modified to track the energy of the gem" He said after a thorough examination.

"How can you read it?" Natasha asked, looking at the strange writing on the screen of the device.

"I can" Loki said, taking the device from the doctor. "According to this, the gem is in the center of the island" The Silvertongue said.

"Then we shall go there" Thor said, starting to walk straight. The others followed.

The middle of the island was much stranger than the rest of it. Four stone statues stood in all directions. In the middle of the structures, there were several unreadable designs.

"I think it's safe to say the gem is here" Iron Man said, examining the designs.

"How do we open it?" Bruce asked. Loki walked up to the designs and placed his palm to the designs, which began to glow green. Loki stood up, the designs split and the floor opened up.

"Ancient magic, made to protect the gem from those who would do evil with its power" Loki said, walking down the stairs. Thor following. The other Avengers trying to.

"Um, guys, we can't go" Hawkeye said. A gray aura of energy shielded the split in the ground. "We will go down then" Loki said, continuing down the stairs.

A large room stood at the bottom. The room was full of artifacts. Weapons, armor, gold, and medallions lined the walls. But in the center, a small, brown box stood on a golden stand.

"There it is" Thor said. Loki walked over to the box and gently opened it. A red light engulfed the room, when it died down, a small, red gem appeared in the box.

Loki picked it up and felt power flow through his veins, he felt like he could do anything. The power was overwhelming, he could feel it corrupting his thoughts.

"Brother, come" Thor said, seeing the look in his brothers then looked at Thor as if he had come out of a trance. "Right" Loki said, as if forcing himself to walk up the stairs.

As the brothers walked back up the stairs, they didn't expect what they saw.

The Avengers stood in chains, a smug Thanos towering over them, surrounded by about 50 soldiers.

"Thanos!" Thor yelled. He rushed up the remaining stairs and threw Mjolnir at the Mad Titan. Thanos raised his arm and stopped Mjolnir in its tracks.

Thor then ran at Thanos. The thunder-god was easily knocked to the ground.

"Loki...Give me the gem" Thanos said, his eyes focused on Loki. "I will never give it to you" Loki said, holding the gem tightly in his hands. Thanos frowned, but the murderous grin reapeared quickly.

"You risk losing your brother" Thanos said, a purple ball of energy appearing in his hand.

"If you injure Thor, I will kill you" Loki said, slowly moving toward Thor. "I'd like to see you try, Asgardian" Thanos said, extending his had so the ball of magic went flying at Thor. Loki ran and knocked Thor out-of-the-way of the blast, but he was to slow to get himself out-of-the-way. The sphere exploded on Loki's chest and threw him back a few feet.

"Loki!" Thor yelled as he ran toward his brother. The Silvertongue was severely injured, blood pouring away from the gaping wound at an alarming rate. Thanos frowned at missing his target, but a smirk returned when he saw the small, red gem lying on the ground. The Mad Titan extended his right arm and the gem slowly hovered over to it.

Thanos smiled dangerously at the gem reaching his hand. A red aura surrounded Thanos, the ground beneath him began shaking violently. Trees were uprooted and began flying around the island. Thanos pointed his finger at the chained Avengers, which were then engulfed by a purple light. When the light vanished, the Avengers were gone aswell, they had been transported somewhere. The Mad Titan then put the gem in a spot on his gauntlet.

Thanos then moved to Thor. Loki was breathing dangerously.

"Move away from my brother" Thor said, looking back at the smirking Thanos. The Mad Titan flicked his wrist and Thor went flying to the right. "Ah, Loki. You could have just given me the gem, then none of this would have happened" Thanos said, smiling down at the injured god.

"Move away!" Thor yelled. He summoned Mjolnir and rushed at Thanos. The hit from the hammer was easily deflected by a red barrier that surrounded Thanos.

"Foolish, Asgardian" Thanos said under his breath. The Mad Titan pushed Thor back and a holographic, red sword appeared in his hands. "If you wish a fight, then I will oblige" Thanos said. Thor ran at Thanos and stuck with Mjolnir, blocked.

Thanos swung his sword and delivered a decent sized gas to Thor's arm. Thor then jumped back and called down a bolt of lightning. Thor sent the lightning at Thanos. That, too, was blocked. Thanos threw his sword at Thor, the god was barely able to dodge. Another sword appeared in Thanos's hand. The Mad Titan vanished, then reappeared behind Thor.

Thanos thrust the sword through Thor's back, emerging through his stomach. The thunder-god fell to the ground, leaving both of the brothers severely injured.

Thanos laughed as we walked to Thor's head, about to plunge the sword into Thor's neck.

Before anything could happen, Thanos was thrown back by a sphere of magic. Loki stood over where he was injured, supposedly healing himself with his magic. The soldiers that stood to the side attacked Loki.

The Silvertongue threw a green sphere in the middle of the large group. The sphere expanded, as it did, any soldiers engulfed were disintegrated. Only about twelve of the fifty survived the lethal magic. Loki did away with those with ease.

Thanos stood up, brushing the dust and sand off his golden armor. Loki threw another sphere of magic at the Mad Titan, sending him flying even farther.

Loki then ran toward Thor.

"Brother" Thor said, blood flowing from the sides of his mouth.

"It's Ok, brother. Just relax" Loki said, putting his palms on Thor's bloody armor. Loki's magic went to work to heal his brother. Little did the brothers know, Thanos was making his way back to them.

"Well done, Loki" Thanos said, walking out from some fallen trees. "You would have made a wonderful minion" The Mad Titan said, his voice was calm but his eyes burned with anger. Loki did not speak, he was to concerned about his brother healing.

"So the Silvertongue can't speak?" Thanos asked, his voice full of pride. The Mad Titan closed his hand into a fist and the gem began to glow darkly. Thor put out his hand to summon Mjolnir, the hammer came flying behind Thanos.

Just as Thanos turned around, he took the full force of the enchanted hammer. Mjolnir flew into Thor's hand, and knocked Thanos over. The Mad Titan growled with ferocity. Loki stood over Thor and helped him up. The Thunderer was now healed.

Thanos smiled as he stood back up. A golden staff appeared in his hands. Loki threw a sphere of magic at Thanos, which was deflected.

Thanos lunged at the gods. He swung his staff at Thor, the thunder-god blocked the strike. Loki summoned a dagger and shoved it into Thanos's side. The Mad Titan growled and a barrier of red energy surrounded him, Thanos pulled the dagger out and threw it back at Loki, which he dodged by teleporting.

Thor pounded Mjolnir against the barrier. The red energy cracked, Thor brought Mjolnir down against the barrier again, this time the barrier shattered. Thanos hit Thor with the butt of the staff, the god grunted. Thanos hit again, then he fired a red bolt of energy from the staff. Sending Thor flying into a nearby tree. Thanos then fired at an approaching Loki, the blast narrowly missed. Loki ran up to Thanos and shoved two daggers through his stomach. Thanos grunted and punched Loki away.

A bolt of lightning hit Thanos from behind. Loki followed the attack by throwing a large, green ball of magic at the Mad Titan. When the column of smoke cleared, Thanos was still standing, though leaning heavily on his golden staff. Thanos yelled and pounded the staff on the ground, creating a large explosion of rock and fire.

When the ash's cleared, Thanos was now gone.

"Well, that's over now" Thor said, walking over to Loki.

"Indeed, but what happened to your team?" Loki asked. "I do not know" Thor said. They both knew how this would be an odd thing to explain to Fury.

"Brother, why?" Thor asked as they walked around the battlefield. "Why what?" Loki asked looking over at Thor.

"Why did you save me?" Thor asked, recalling earlier events. Loki looked back toward the scorched ground. "You would have done the same for me" He said. Loki heard Thor's footsteps walking toward him.

"Thank you, brother" Thor said. Loki nodded. "Thanos has the gem" The Silvertongue said. "We just beat him, did we not?" Thor said with a reassuring smile. "we were severely injured in the process, besides, when Thanos does invade, there will be thousands with him" Loki said, making Thor's smile disappear.

"We now know what he is capable of with the gem, we will be ready" Thor said as if he was trying to make himself belive it. Loki looked at Thor. "I hope we will be" He said.

"I think we need to find the others now" Thor said, trying to change the topic of Thanos. "How?" Loki asked. Thor shrugged. "We can search the forest" The thunderer said,

Loki nodded. the two gods made their way back into the forest.
