Finding her home occupying Frost Giants and trolls was the greatest insult Astrid could ever think of. And now she was with her mother and friends facing against impossible odds in order to save the Nine Realms she couldn't think of a grander welcome home party.
"More rebel warriors to crush," said one of the Frost Giants.
One of the soldiers then approach them, he had a horned helmet which told Astrid that he was a faithful servant to Loki. She thought she would never see the day when Asgard soldier would worship such evil.
"By Loki's degree: those who do not bow before him will be executed," said the soldier. "Surrender."
"Traitors," Sif growled. "You betray your king and your home we will never bow to Loki."
"And what do you have Lady Sif?" the soldier asked. "A handful of mortals? Hardly something to worry about."
"You haven't seen them in battle," said Sif.
"Yeah, you best surrounded now," said Hiccup aiming his gauntlet at soldier.
The soldiers stared at him and began to laugh. "The mortal is waving at us?" the solider laughed uncontrollably. "What can you possibly do?"
"This," said Hiccup and blasted him with a Repulsor blast.
At once the bounding started, Ant-Man increased in size, which surprised their enemies, and he, Astrid and Gronckle charge at the Frost Giants.
Captain, Hunter and Black Widow took on the soldiers that had charged at them. They were clearly outmatched, they couldn't penetrate Captain's shield, Hunter's marksmanship outplayed them and Black Widow proved to be very elusive.
Captain Marvel, Toothless and Sif took on the trolls. They were surprised by Captain Marvel's strength and probably even more so by Toothless Repulsors. Sif was very skilled indeed, she invaded the trolls' attacks and size their weapons to pieces.
Hiccup, who wasn't much help without his armour, and Wasp attack from a distance blasting them with their energy attacks.
However, Loki's forces soon got over the surprise and began pushing back. The battle began to turn when Laufey joined the battle and around his neck they saw the Casket of Ancient Winters.
"Laufey," Astrid gasped.
"You know this guy?" said Giant-Man.
"Indeed, he's Loki's real father," she said.
"I've waited a long time for this Thordotter," said Laufey smirking.
He then open the Casket of Ancient Winters and it was the whole battlefield was covered by an icy wind. Astrid got caught in it and was frozen solid, Giant-Man only escaped by shrinking to normal size.
"We need a retreat," said Captain.
"What about Astrid?" Hiccup asked as he blasted a troll with his Repulsor.
"We're not leaving my daughter," said Sif firmly.
"I don't like leaving a soldier behind, but if we don't escape will be caught to and no one will help Astrid," said Captain.
Hiccup didn't like it, but he had a point and looking in Sif's eyes she knew it to.
"New Vikings, retreat!" Hiccup ordered.
Some of them like Gronckle and Captain Marvel didn't like the idea, but they like the idea of being captured even less so they followed Hiccup's lead, reluctantly.
Sif led them to review side streets preventing the Frost Giants from following them, but the soldiers and trolls were still hot on the heels.
"I can take you to the resistance headquarters, but will have to lose our pursuers," said Sif.
"I've got that covered," said Hiccup.
He then stopped and turned to face the upcoming horde.
"Hiccup what you doing?" Captain yelled.
"Hitting them with something they didn't expect," said Hiccup as he began to remove the glass casing above his Arc Reactor.
Before the army could do anything a massive beam headed straight towards them. Some of the trolls were disintegrated upon on impact and everyone else was knocked off their feet.
Once the beam died down Hiccup collapsed to the ground in a crumpled heap and was knocked out cold.
"Hiccup!" Captain yelled as he and Black Widow than over to him.
Black Widow quickly place the glass casing back over his Arc Reactor and Gronckle picked him up.
"Your leader is just for surprises," said Sif.
"More like filled with crazy ideas," Hunter muttered.
"Can you take is the resistance?" Captain asked.
"Of course follow me," said Sif.
They began to follow Sif, but Wasp can help but look back.
"We just left," she said.
"Goldilocks is tough," said Gronckle.
Wasp nodded and followed the others.
Astrid was woken up when wine was poured over her face. She looked around and found herself on the throne room and found that she had been clapped in irons and about a foot away was Glamdring trapped in a magical seal.
Out of the corner of the eyes she saw her father's sleeping coffin and she saw her father sleeping inside of it.
"Hello my dear niece," said a voice.
Astrid looked up and saw Loki sitting on her father's throne looking quite smug.
"Am I supposed to be impressed," Astrid sneered.
"All are not here to impress you, but I imagine you have many questions and I am all too happy to answer," said Loki evilly. "Let us start at the time of the Thorsleep came to Asgard when Lord Thor rested and replenished his power, but this time Thor's precious daughter was not there to protect him while he slumbered. The father had abandoned the daughter and exiled her to the mortal realm. While his dear wife, Balder and the rest of Asgard warriors were ever so perfectly vigilant in defending Thor while he slept. Their weak minds simply weren't prepared for the day when he did not wake up. They weren't prepared for someone to find a way to take Thor's power."
"But how," said Astrid. "The Thorforce belongs to the All Father alone."
"Is that so," said Loki and blasted Astrid at the same kind of power seen her father use against Loki. "I am going to enjoy using this power to torment Odin for all the lies he fed me. Your grandfather stalled me as a child only to treat me less being."
He then seized his attack leaving a smoking Astrid, he then approached the throne and sat on it.
"But I am not a lesser being, not anymore," he said. "The Thorforce is mine now and all of the Nine Realms will bow down to me." He then uses magic to create a tree with each of the nine realms attached to it. "Asgard, Vanaheim, Svartalfheim, Alfheim, Nidavellir I have conquered them all. Jotunheim and Niflheim are mind command. Only Midgard remains."
"Shame we thought it your invasion," said Astrid.
"True, it was foolish to pity mortal against mortal, but with you here I can conquer Midgard at my leisure," said Loki. "After all you have played right into my hand."
Astrid stared at him confused.
"You mean you haven't figured it out yet," he said looking amused. "I am responsible for everything. My last assault on Asgard was meant to fail… the only challenge, you oaf, was making sure you and your father believed my performance. I knew my would-be brother would exiled me and if I was exiled he would pay me no mind. It was I who orchestrated the argument you and your father so that he would banish you to Midgard as the time of the Thorsleep approached. Once you were on Midgard, I had to keep you busy so you would find out about my plans. I was the one who released all those villains from their prison, because I knew you could not back away from a challenge. Though, I did not expect you to join allies with mortals so I had the Enchantress and the Red Skull together foes for them. While you please hero on Midgard I continued my conquest with the remaining realms."
"Me and my friends will put a stop to you," said Astrid.
"You mean those mortals who left you behind," said Loki raising an eyebrow. "The remaining Asgard warriors could not defeat me I doubt a handful mortals can do any better."
"That's where we disagree," said Astrid.
When Hiccup opened his eyes, he found himself in new surroundings. It looked like some kind of infirmary, but very mediaeval.
"Ah, you're awake," said Wasp's voice.
Hiccup turned and saw Wasp sitting beside him. "Where are we?" he asked getting up.
"Sif got us to the resistance," said Wasp as she helped him up. "However, some of them are not too happy to have mortals among them."
"Where's everybody else?" Hiccup asked.
"There with Cap, was having a very heated argument with some of Astrid's old friends," said Wasp.
Wasp soon led him to what he believed was some kind of war room. There was a large table in front of several Asgardains around it and on top of that he guessed was a map of Asgard.
He saw the other New Vikings arguing with several Asgardains and Sif was trying to calm them down.
"We cannot expect mortals to fight our battles," said Hogun.
"Like you've done a good job on your own," said Captain Marvel.
"They're stronger than the average mortal. I mean look at the emerald ogre looks strong enough to take on an entire army of trolls," said Volstagg.
"And yet they did an excellent job of running away," said Hogun.
"Do you want to get smashed," Gronckle growled.
"I have say the ladies of the group are quite elegant," said Fandral as he twiddled his blade around.
"This lady is more than elegant," said Black Widow as her stingers sparked.
"Enough," said Sif. "Arguing is not going to save my daughter or Asgard."
Hogun looked at Sif bewildered. "My lady, you can't seriously suggest that—"
"What choice do we have?" Sif asked. "We need all the help we can get and I have seen them in action they are formidable."
"We haven't done a dent to Loki how are a few mortals going to help us," said Hogun.
"A few mortals can do spectacular things," said a voice.
They looked up and saw a woman walking down holding a dragon like mask and a staff and a hand.
Hiccup gasped he recognised that voice anywhere, but it was impossible. How could she still be alive?
"Valka, you have been helpful, but I still think a few mortals aren't going to turn the tide," said Hogun.
"Mum," Hiccup gasped.
Everyone turned to stare at him in bewilderment.
"Hiccup, your mum is dead you said you saw her die five years ago," said Wasp.
Valka then removed her mask and everyone gasped. She had auburn hair and bright blue eyes, but she looked almost exactly like Hiccup.
"Auntie Val," Captain Marvel gasped.
"I'm afraid my death was slightly exaggerated," said Valka and looked at Hiccup. "You've grown up son."
"Is that all you can say," Hiccup glared. "I thought you were dead, instead I find you here in Asgard. Why didn't you return?"
Valka looks slightly ashamed, she Hiccup would act like this. "I wanted to return," she said. "But I also knew that someone sabotaged the project and I knew you were almost killed. I thought with people thinking I'm dead they wouldn't go after you."
"Seriously, I was a 15-year-old boy who had just inherited a multibillion dollar company that specialise in cutting-edge technology and weaponry, and you for they wouldn't try to assassinate me?"
"I admit, I miscalculated," said Valka.
"I'm sorry to break up this family reunion," said Hunter. "But should we be a bit more focused with the madman with enough power to destroy an entire city."
"He's right," said Sif. "The only way we live is to take down Loki."
"We've already tried and every single time we do more of us end up dead or in prison," said Fandral.
"I still like to know how Loki got so powerful," said Hiccup.
"Somehow he acquired the Thorforce," said Hogun.
"But how did he acquire it?" Hiccup asked.
"We don't know," said Sif. "On the day when my husband was suppose awake, he kept on slumbering and before we knew it Loki attacked us with full force. We didn't stand a chance."
Hiccup looked at Toothless. "Toothless, I take it you scan the entire city," he said.
"Indeed," said Toothless.
"Wait, that's Toothless the AI I designed for you as a kid," said Valka. "I see you created a robotic body for him."
"Yeah, it felt strange talking to a disembodied voice," said Hiccup.
"You have any idea what they're talking about?" Volstagg asked leaning to Fandral.
"Must be a mortal thing," he said.
"Toothless, give us a holographic image of the entire city and of any massive magical readings," Hiccup ordered.
Toothless did as he was told and fired a hologram across the war table. The hologram showed the entire city from top to bottom and they saw two massive white dots in what they presumed was the Palace.
"What magic is this?" said Fandral stunned.
"It's not magic its technology," said Valka. She then looked at her son. "What are you hoping to find son?"
"Back at Earth Astrid mentioned a tree holding the fabric of reality together," said Hiccup.
"Yggdrasil the tree of life," Sif nodded.
"Yes, that," said Hiccup looking at the hologram. "And I will be right in thinking that the tree would be on Asgard."
"Yes, the track itself is on Asgard, but the roots are attached to the other Nine Realms," said Sif.
"Then it's right in assuming that the tree would give up a large amount of magical energy and am willing to bet that Thor would show the same kind of energy," said Hiccup.
Sif nodded not understanding where he was coming from and from the looks of the others neither did they.
"You succumb to this hologram there are two energy signatures and since Thor is asleep I'm guessing that the second one would be Loki, but explain how come one energy source is getting weaker while the other is getting stronger."
Hiccup gesturing to the two energy signatures and indeed one was getting smaller by the other got bigger.
"Hey, how is Toothless able to see magic?" Hunter asked.
"Astrid allowed me to study her axe so I can get her home," Hiccup explained. "It was very informative."
"I think I see we are coming from," said Valka. "You think that Loki is siphoning off Yggdrasil in order to gain the Thorforce. That would explain how come Thor has yet to wake."
"But if he keeps siphoning off Yggdrasil he'll corrupt it and in turn would tear the realms apart," said Sif fearfully.
"So we know how he got the Thorforce, but that doesn't tell us how to stop him," said Hogun.
"Actually it does," said Valka. "If we can get to Yggdrasil we may be able to find a way to cure it."
"Let me get this straight, your plan to march onto the Palace, take out Loki's forces, take down Loki himself and find a way to cure the tree of life itself," said Fandral.
"Pretty much," said Hiccup.
"I'm starting to like this mortal," said Volstagg.
"Loki certainly won't be expecting it," said Valka.
"Then we're agreed," said Sif. "Our warriors will cause distraction here." She pointed to a cloister towers. "Meanwhile, me, the Warriors Three and the New Vikings will attack Loki head on."
"I'm afraid I will be accompanying you," said Hiccup. Everyone stared at him. "Well my arm I'll be just a liability I need a forge some new armour."
"All we've got a scraps," said Hogun.
"What kind of metal is it?" Hiccup enquired.
"Mostly some ruin swords and shields, but they are made of the same, Uru," said Sif.
"I've never heard of that metal," said Hiccup.
"It's not surprising it's a metal that can only be found in Nidavellir," said Valka.
"Then I better get to work," said Hiccup and looked at Captain. "Cap, you have to lead the New Vikings. I'll join you as soon as the armour is ready."
Hiccup then walked away heading towards the forge.
"Does that mortal seriously thinking greater suit of armour from scraps?" said Hogun.
"I don't know, he's done it before," said Captain Marvel.
"Either way we then move before Loki destroys the fabric of reality," said Black Widow.
"I'll remain behind and help Hiccup with his armour," said Valka and followed Hiccup.
"This day gets crazier and crazier," said Wasp.
At the forge, Hiccup began starting work on his armour. The metal was like nothing he'd ever seen, he knew it was made from the same stuff as Astrid's axe, but that's all he knew about Uru.
"Need some help son," said his mother's voice.
Hiccup looked around and saw his mother walking in. "No, I'm fine," he said as he hammered away.
"Hiccup I'm sorry I never meant to hurt you," said Valka closing her eyes. "How's your father?"
"We barely speak to each other," said Hiccup. "Especially when I gave up making weapons."
"So Evan Industries is not in the weapons business anymore," said Valka. "I couldn't help but notice that you have an Arc Reactor in your chest."
"It's a long story," said Hiccup. "Involving a lot of gunfire, a group of terrorists and a dank cave."
"You always an engineering genius," said Valka.
"Pity dad want a soldier."
"You know he loves you," said Valka reassuringly. "He just has a funny way of showing it."
Hiccup stopped and looked at her. "You know after we not Loki of his throne are you going to stay or—"
"To be honest, I don't know," she said. "A lot has changed, my son's new CEO of Evans Industries and a full-time superhero it's a lot to take in."
"Just look at from my perspective, I come to a magical kingdom to knock a would-be god on his butt and fine my mother is still alive," said Hiccup.
"I guess we Haddock's have interesting lives," Valka smiled.
"I guess we do," Hiccup laughed.
Meanwhile, at the Palace, Loki is sitting on his throne looking down at Astrid as he took a sip of wine from his goblet.
Suddenly, one of his guards burst through the main door looking extremely worried.
"Sire, I have urgent news," he said bowing.
"What is it?" said Loki looking up.
"The resistance are attacking the main market square," he said.
"Then send some soldiers and take them out," said Loki irritably.
"But that's not all my liege," said the guard. "Lady Sif, the Warriors Three and the mortal warriors have stormed into the Palace."
"The mortal shouldn't be too difficult to defeat," said Loki furiously.
"But sire nothing we can do can stop them there—"
"I don't care kill them all," Loki ordered grabbing his sceptre.
"At once your Majesty," said the guard and ran out the door.
As a door closed Astrid just smirked. "It seems as if we have something in common uncle," she said. "We both have underestimated the mortals."
"These fools bear no threat to me," said Loki as he approached Astrid. "I command the Thorforce, the tree of life gives its power to me now!"
"If you are so all-powerful Loki then why haven't you won yet?" said Astrid.
Loki was about to striker her, but then the whole room began to shake. Before they knew it the door exploded and they saw several figures walking out of the smoke they were Sif, the Warriors Three and the New Vikings, minus Night Fury.
"Surrender," said Captain.
Loki laughed.
"Looks like he wants to do this the hard way," said Hunter.
"New Vikings take him down," said Captain.
Gronckle charge towards him, but Loki blasted him with the Thorforce and sent him backwards. Captain then through his shield, Hunter fired an arrow, Wasp and Black Widow their stingers and captain Marvel and energy blast.
Loki blocked it with the Thorforce and Sif saw her chance in charge straight at him. She slammed a sword towards him, but he blocked it with his sceptre and then blasted her back with the Thorforce.
Ant-Man increased in size and slammed his gigantic fists towards Loki, but Loki froze him in place and then blocked Toothless' punch with his sceptre and slammed him into Giant-Man sitting the two of them backwards.
Loki smiled in triumphant, but then felt a massive shock at his back. In the corner of his eye he saw Black Widow had somehow gone behind him and struck him with her stingers. He then grabbed her arm and pulled her towards him.
"I'm impressed," he said. "Not many people can sneak up on me like that."
He then tossed her aside like a ragdoll.
He then swung his sceptre around sending a powerful shockwave that knocked everyone off their feet. He then approached Captain, who tried to reach his shield, and step on his shield.
"Surrender," said Loki. "You really have no idea with whom you speak, do you mortal."
He then slammed his sceptre onto Captain's shield and sent the Thorforce through it. Next second there was explosion and it sent Captain backwards he then saw that his shield shattered into several bits.
"I have watched you worms all this time," said Loki triumphantly. "All of you scared and alone. On Midgard you may play at being heroes, but here—" He then shot a blast of his fingers disarming Hunter, who tried to fire an arrow at him. "—you are less than nothing. Without Astrid, who will save you now?"
He then raised his sceptre and prepared to deal the final blow to them.
Suddenly a mixture of Night Fury's Repulsors and Astrid lightning shot down out of the sky light. When the smoke cleared they saw Night Fury standing there wearing Asgardain armour.
"I will," he said. "New Vikings battle ready."
Everyone stared at him in bewilderment, Loki on the other hand was looking quite furious.
"You dare to—" he stopped himself when he realised what metal the armour was made from. "That armour… the metal is Uru."
"Yeah, same as Astrid's axe, I know," said Night Fury. "Now, get away from my people before you get hurt."
"You think you can lecture me man of science?" said Loki furiously as his hand began to glow with the Thorforce. "Do you realise the power I wield."
"It wasn't a threat," said Night Fury. He then fired his lightning-emitted Repulsor at Loki, who blocked it with a forcefield. "Free Astrid I'll hold him off."
Night Fury then flew upwards and Loki followed him.
Captain turned to the others. "Hunter, Toothless, Ant-Man, Black Widow get to Astrid," he said as he picked up Sif's shield. "Gronckle, Wasp, Captain Marvel you're with me."
Up in the skies of Asgard, Loki had just blasted Night Fury with the Thorforce, but Night Fury's Asgardain armour was magic resistant so it and had much effect, but it was still quite painful. Loki then punched him across the face.
Night Fury recovered and charged at Loki, punching him in the face. Loki, however, managed to grab his helmet and is in the surge of magical energy through it.
"In dealing with mortals is beneath me," said Loki. "You have earned my attention."
"I was always want to stick out," said Night Fury in pain.
However he was forced to release him when Captain tossed Sif's shield at him. Loki looked down and saw Gronckle jumping towards and before he could do anything, Gronckle punched him across the face. Wasp, who was hitting a ride on Gronckle then find a barrage of stingers at him.
Captain Marvel appeared behind him and fired an energy beam at his back sent him crashing down into a building.
Meanwhile, in the Palace, Hunter's and his team had freed Astrid from her bonds.
"Night Fury believes that Loki has corrupted Yggdrasil," said Black Widow.
"He's correct you must find a way to break his connection to it," said Astrid getting to her feet.
"Us? What are you gonna do?" Ant-Man asked.
"I'm going to have words with my uncle," said Astrid clenching her fists.
Outside, the New Vikings battle against Loki was going poorly. Loki had just blasted Night Fury away into a building.
Loki then blasted an energy beam at Captain. Fortunately, he was able to dodge in time and threw Sif's shield at him, but he blocked it with his sceptre.
Gronckle try to punch him from behind, but Loki grabbed his fist and blasted him straight towards Captain Marvel, who was charging towards him.
Wasp kept on firing a stingers at Loki, but they were nothing more than an annoyance to him. He grabbed Wasp began to squeeze.
"I shall enjoying making you mortal suffer," he said.
In the Palace, Astrid had approached Glamdring, but the magic still around it was still in place. She knew this was risky, but it was the only way to get our hands on it.
She reached out towards Glamdring and the moment her hand passed through the magic seal an unbelievable amount of pain rushed through her body. It felt as though her hand was disintegrating, but despite this she kept on pushing towards it.
Hunter's team meanwhile had found that chamber that held Yggdrasil thanks to Toothless' who saw the magic energy rushing into the tree.
"Yggdrasil, it seems to be the focus of the energy," said Toothless.
"Now that we here what do we do?" Ant-Man asked.
"When in doubt blow it up," said Hunter pulling out an arrow.
"I can get down with that," said Ant-Man eagerly.
"Boys, they just like blowing stuff up," Black Widow sighed.
"Indeed, that would be inadvisable," said Toothless. "After all in mythology the tree of life holds together the whole of reality and as all of reality seems to be feeding into this tree perhaps we should consider this."
"He's right, we could end up destroying everything," said Black Widow.
Hunter then notice a couple of ravens sitting on one of the trees branches. "Hey, Look, Asgard got birds," he said.
However they weren't your normal everyday birds. The moment they saw them they began to screech so loudly that it nearly burst their eardrums.
Ant-Man managed to escape by shrinking down and approached Yggdrasil's roots. When he got there he saw a blight right beneath the tree itself.
Outside, Loki had taken down Gronckle and Wasp. He was now holding Captain's throat and was looking extremely annoyed.
"Now you bore me," he said.
Night Fury and Captain Marvel charge at him firing their energy beams at him. However, Loki blocked it with his sceptre and threw Captain towards them. There was not enough time to dodge and all three of them began falling towards the ground.
Loki was about to finish them once and for all, but suddenly he was hit by Glamdring. He looked up and saw Astrid charging towards him and slammed Glamdring into him again sending him crashing into a building.
Loki then shot out the building and had finally snapped, he was drawing energy from all over Asgard into himself. It looks as though the very sky was telling itself apart.
"What's happening?" Night Fury asked.
"He's losing control of the Thorforce," said Astrid. "Loki, you must keep the power contained! Without control the Thorforce could destroy the Nine Realms! You could begin Ragnarok!"
"So be it!" Loki yelled.
Suddenly he sent what looked like ripples across the sky spread across the Nine Realms. If he kept this up could end up destroying everything. Though this did not seem to concern Loki.
"Did you really think you could beat me?" he said as he drove more power into himself. "A band of mortals against Loki?"
In the tree chamber, Hunter's team felt as though they were going mad, but then Ant-Man increased in size. He then grabbed the tree and began tearing it from its roots this stopped the ravens screech attack.
The others just watched as Giant-Man ripped the tree from its roots, then they saw golden light exiting from its base. A new tree was growing this one was free of the corruption that Loki had forced upon it.
The tree began to grow and outside Loki felt all his power draining from him. He screamed as the energy that he stole entered into Thor's coffin and he awoke.
"For the record we weren't actually trying to beat you," said Night Fury. "We were stalling you as the others healed the tree."
When the Thorforce was completely drained from them, Loki began to fall and landed on a skywalk. He got up and saw the New Vikings were blocking his path.
"No, no, I am Loki!" he yelled then a dark aura covered his fists. "I will destroy you all, I will —"
"Loki!" yelled a new voice.
Loki turned and saw Thor floating above him. Thor then used his powers to rise Loki towards him.
"How could you do this," he said. "Our father gave you everything, he made you his son and my brother this is how you repay him. We used to fight side-by-side brother and now you wish to destroy everything."
"You and our father deserve 1000 times worse," said Loki. "Go ahead, exile me. I will never stop."
"If you for the Isle of Silence was torment, do not know the meaning of the word," said Thor.
Then there was a large flash of light and Loki disappeared.
Astrid looked up at her father, not sure how he will react and was unsure how to respond. Thor looked down at her and smiled and opened up his arms.
"My daughter, you have come home," he said. At once Astrid rushed over to him and gave him a big hug. "You've made me proud Astrid. He returned to Asgard in its time of need, you have freed us."
"I couldn't have done this alone," said Astrid pulling away from him. She then gestured to her friends. "I had some help."
"Mere mortals?" Thor asked raising an eyebrow.
"Well, maybe they're not as weak as I thought," she said.
"Indeed, and for that we thank you New Vikings," said Thor looking at all of them. "As such you deserve a feast in your honour so that everyone knows that you are the mightiest heroes in the Nine Realms."
"I like the sound of that," said Captain Marvel.
"By the way your Majesty what did you do with Loki?" Night Fury asked.
"He will not be bothering you again let me assure you on that," said Thor.
When Loki opened his eyes he found himself trapped in a massive tree root, he looked around and saw a massive serpent staring down at him, he recognised it at once as the Midgard Serpent anyone screamed and closed his eyes.
However, the tree will force them open and he saw the Midgard Serpent opening its mouth and its assets alive dropped from its fangs street on top of him.
Meanwhile, in Asgard, the New Vikings were experiencing Asgardain hospitality. Gronckle felt right at home drinking contests with the Warriors Three and Captain Marvel can help himself but to join in.
The other New Vikings were either eating or dancing and were all having a great time. However, Night Fury noticed that someone was missing from the party. He looked around the powers and finally found out the balcony looking down at Asgard.
"Not having fun?" he asked approaching her.
She turned around and saw him and smiled. "It's just been so long since I've been back home," she said. "So, how are things with your mother?"
"She's saying that she wants to come back," he said leaning on the balcony. "I don't know if I'll forgive you for abandoning me, but I'm willing to try."
"I think you both need each other," said Astrid.
"You know what happened to Loki's forces after we defeated him?" he asked.
"The traitors have been captured as long as most of his forces, but others like Laufey have escaped," she said. "Though, without Loki leading them there not much of a threat. There are still some repairs to the city."
Hiccup looked at her and easily. "So, are you staying?" he asked.
"If you asked that when we I would have said yes," said Astrid. Hiccup sighed, but then felt Astrid place a hand on his shoulders. "But now, I cannot leave Midgard… I cannot leave you."
The two of them then lean forward into a kiss and at once forgot of all the festivities all round them. The only thing they were more concerned about was each other.
