Sorry for the very long wait. I was busy and was hyped over the movie Independence Day: Resurgence, which I will write an Ace Combat version of it. Not to mention I'm working on new fanfiction projects, writing a new story, which you can check it out on my page, and promoting my stories on my Deviantart page. So I apologized for it. Anyway, here's chapter 9.
Chapter 9: Thor Arrives.
The Quinjet, carrying Black Widow, Captain America, Iron Man, Danny Phantom, and their prisoner Loki, is traveling back to the Helicarrier. Loki has been silent during the trip. Fury contacts Natasha through the radio.
"Is he saying anything?" Fury said through the radio.
"Not a word." Natasha replied sternly.
"Just get him here. We're low on time." Fury said.
Danny, Steve, and Tony look at their prisoner before Steve broke the silence.
"I don't like it." Steve said.
"What, Rock of Ages giving up so easily?" Tony asked.
"I don't remember it being that easy. This guy packs a wallop." Steve replied.
"Still, you are pretty spry for an older fellow. What's your thing, Pilates?" Tony said, earning a chuckle from Danny.
Steve just look at Tony with confusion on that term.
"What?" Steve asked.
"It's like calisthenics. You might have missed a couple of things doing time as a Capsicle." Tony said.
"Fury didn't tell me he was calling you in." Steve said.
"Yeah, there's a lot of things Fury doesn't tell you." Tony said.
"Wait, what do you mean 'there's a lot of things Fury doesn't tell?'" Danny asked with concern.
Before Tony could answer that question, a loud clash of thunder shook the Quinjet.
"Where's this coming from?" Natasha said with concern.
Danny, Steve and Tony look at Loki, who is showing concern on his face.
"What's the matter? Are you scared of a little lighting?" Steve asked sarcastically.
"I'm not overly fond of what follows." Loki replied.
Steve was about to retort but a loud crash shook the Quinjet, as if something or someone landed on the top of the jet outside. Tony puts his face helmet back on while Steve puts his mask back on. Danny stood on a defensive stance. Tony suddenly hit a switch opening the back cargo door.
"What are you doing?" Steve asked.
Tony didn't answer however, because standing at the doorway is a large angry blonde man, wearing Viking clothes, a red cape, and holding a very large hammer. Tony trying to attack the intruder, but he knocked him back with a swung of his hammer, sending him slamming into Steve and Danny. The man then grab Loki and flew out of the Quinjet.
"What in the world?" Danny asked.
"And now there's that guy." Tony said.
"Another Asgardian?" Natasha said.
"That guy's a friendly?" Steve asked.
"That's gotta be Thor. Why would he take Loki?" Danny asked.
"Doesn't matter. If he frees Loki or kills him, the Tesseract's lost." Tony said as he moves towards the door.
"Stark, we need a plan of attack!" Steve said.
"I have a plan. Attack." Tony said before he rockets off to pursuit the intruder and Loki.
"It's a good plan." Danny said.
Steve moves to grab a parachute.
"I'd sit this one out, Cap." Natasha said, trying to get Steve to reconsider.
"I don't see how I can." Steve said as he straps on the parachute.
"These guys comes from legend. They're basically gods." Natasha said.
"There's only one God, ma'am. And I'm pretty sure he doesn't dress like that." Steve said before he jumps off the Quinjet.
"He's right, there's only one God, God Almighty, and I could have flown him down." Danny said before looking at Natasha. "I'll go get Loki and the others in the chaos. Gotta make sure we bring Loki to Fury."
Natasha just nodded before looking back at the Quinjet's controls. Danny then jumps out of the jet and flies toward the others.
'Romanoff ain't so bad. At least she doesn't treat me like a child. Treats me almost like an equal.' Danny thought.
Meanwhile, Loki hit the ground hard. He groaned as he looked around, seeing that he was near a cliff. He then laughs as he sees his brother Thor.
"Where is the Tesseract?" Thor asked, not wasting any time.
"I missed you, too." Loki chuckled.
"Do I look to be in a gaming mood?" Thor scowled.
"You should thank me. With the Bifrost gone, how much dark energy did the Allfather have to muster to conjure you here to your precious Earth?" Loki said as he gets up.
Thor drops his mighty hammer Mjølnir and growled before grabbing him by the neck before saying...
"I thought you dead."
Loki look straight at Thor's eyes before saying...
"Did you mourn?"
Thor was taken back by Loki's question.
"We all did. Our father..."
"YOUR father." Loki corrected, stopping Thor mid-sentence and storm away in disgust. "He did tell you my true parentage, did he not?"
Thor was hurt by Loki's statement.
"We were raised together. We played together, we fought together. Do you remember none of that?" Thor said trying to reassured Loki.
"I remember a shadow." Loki said coldly. "Living in the shade of your greatness. I remember you tossing me into an abyss. I, who was, and should be, king!"
"So you take the world I love as a recompense for your imagined slights? No. The Earth is under my protection, Loki." Thor stated.
Loki laughed at his statement.
"And you're doing a marvelous job with that. The humans slaughter each other in droves while you idly fret. I mean to rule them, as why should I not?" Loki said.
"You think yourself above them." Thor asked with scorn in his eyes.
"Well, yes." Loki shrugged.
"Then you miss the truth of ruling, brother. A throne would suit you ill." Thor said sadly.
Loki growled, getting tired of this game. He pushed Thor aside and look beyond the cliff before saying...
"I've seen worlds you've never known about! I have grown, Odinson, in my exile. I have seen the true power of the Tesseract, and when I wield it..."
"Who show you this power?" Thor asked, rushing to Loki in outrage. "Who controls the would-be king?"
"I am a king!" Loki sneered.
"Not here! You give up the Tesseract! You give up this poisonous dream! You come home." Thor said.
"I don't have it." Loki said plainly.
Thor summoned his hammer to that response.
"You need the Cube to bring me home. But I've sent it off, I know not where." Loki said.
"You listen well, brother." As Thor was about to say something to Loki, Tony suddenly slammed into Thor at top speed, leaving Loki alone on the top of the cliff to stare at the spot where Thor once stood.
"I'm listening." Loki said.
Down below at the forest, Tony threw Thor at the ground. Thor got back up and glare at his attacker.
"Do not touch me again." Thor said threateningly.
"Then don't take my stuff." Tony said as he stood his ground.
"You have no idea what you're dealing with." Thor said.
"Uh, Shakespeare in the Park?" Tony said glancing around. "Doth Mother know you wear-eth her drapes?" Tony said mockingly, making Thor gripping his hammer tighter.
"This is beyond you, metal man. Loki will face Asgardian justice." Thor stated.
"He gives up the Cube, he's all yours. Until then, stay out of the way." Tony said as his face plate covers him. "Tourist."
Suddenly, Tony is knocked back violently through a tree by Thor's hammer Mjølnir. Tony grunted and regain his bearings before saying...
"Okay."
Loki looks on at the pending battle about to take place. Thor calls back Mjølnir and was about to attack again when Tony fires his repulsors unexpectedly at him, knocking him to the ground. Tony then flies at him and kicked him back through a tree, knocking him to the ground again and dropping Mjølnir. Thor summons Mjølnir and charges it up with lighting before shooting the lighting at Tony's suit, but has no effect.
"Power at 400% capacity." JARVIS, Tony's A.I. assistant said. Tony smirked.
"How about that." Tony said before blasting Thor with his repulsors, knocking him back.
Both went on the defensive stance before charging at each other and the fight took place in the air. The battle last for a short while until Captain America's shield hit both of them, making them stop.
"Hey! That's enough." Steve said before jumping of a tree to confront Thor. "Now, I don't know what you plan on doing here."
"I've come here to put an end to Loki's schemes." Thor stated.
"Then prove it. Put that hammer down." Steve ordered.
Tony tried to reassure Steve, but Thor knocked him back to the ground angrily.
"You want me to put the hammer down?" Thor sneered.
Thor tried to attack Steve. Steve lifts his shield to brace for impact, and just as Thor was about to hit the shield with his hammer, Danny appears and creates an ecto-shield in front of Steve, resulting in all four heroes being knock to the ground as a result. All got up and look at each other before Steve said...
"Are we done here?" Steve asked.
All four nodded. Thor went wide-eyed seeing Danny. He couldn't believe it.
"Enough fighting. Right now, we got a bigger problem on our hands." Danny said pointing at Loki, who was still at the edge of the cliff.
The four heroes eventually apprehend Loki and all went to the Quinjet where Natasha was waiting for them. The flight back to the Helicarrier was uncomfortable for Danny and Steve. Thor kept asking Danny questions about his powers and his battles against evil ghosts. Steve hope the flight is short.
And that's chapter 9. Please review.
