A/N: Sorry for the short chapter. Just had to get this out since it seemed better set apart from part B.

Loki knows that at some point they were separate entities from different worlds. Now, they are one and the same with similar thoughts and share a hatred that boils inside them. This hatred and hunger is what pushes them further past the dark curtains of the beyond. They wander through the valley of doors to dimensions that were once difficult to reach before they were joined. Here is where they will find others who are easy to manipulate. They will find those who believe their false face and pretty lies so they may have their revenge.

Together, with the army they seek, they will plunge the worlds into darkness starting with Midgar. They will hunt down the treacherous demon Crowley, burn the archangel for tainting them with his Light, and bring the humans to their knees. Only after they succeed will they face Asgard and feast on the flesh of gods.

It's simpler than Loki expects.

Thanos believes himself better and stronger that it takes very little acting to convince him. His arrogance makes the shape shifters weak and it's easy, so easy, to sever the neural links of a few and snatch the grey humanoids to gorge themselves on. The scaled skin is nothing compared to the softness of a human and they miss it terribly. After they eat bones and limbs they smirk watching the hive that will soon descend upon their enemies.

Loki holds back their laughter when they are gifted with a gold scepter. Everything is falling into place.

They feel the damaged angel searching for them in the cosmos. They can feel him through the connection of infecting Light and he is coming closer. They move quickly.

Loki wields the staff with ease as they call for the Tesseract to open a path for them. The object obeys and they slip through the folds of space just as the angel arrives on the floating rock. The long travel between both points uses most of their power. They did not think they would feel this drained as they stand before the gawking mortals.

Their lips twist, voice dripping with dark Grace and chaos, "We are Loki of Asgard and we are burdened with glorious purpose."
