Previously
A few more seconds pass and once it seems like Bella's transformation has finished, 142 begins speaking to the others. "Someone should get her in some new clothes before she wakes up and maybe get the rest of the blood off her." Everyone glanced at Bella once again and knew 142 was right. There were still patches of dried blood all over Bella's body that the healers didn't get to and the bottom of her newly grown hair was soaked in her old blood.
Even though Loki's magic is exhausted after transforming Bella, it takes almost nothing to snap his figures and Bella is still laying in Thor's arms but the blood is completely gone from her hair and body. She is also now wearing completely new armor. It appears to be exactly the same as the one she was wearing before. This one just wasn't covered in blood and the shirt didn't have a hole in it.
At that moment everyone jumps when Bella lets out a groan. They all move back a few feet to give her space when she begins to open her eyes. All except Thor, who has yet to let go of Bella's hand since the spell first started, and Loki, who has been standing at her other side.
Now
Thor watches as Bella opens her beautiful eyes. He's happy to see that they are the same color he loves, a rich chocolate brown that enchanted him. Thor smiled at her and squeezed her hand still in his. Bella smiled back. She knows that Thor will be unwilling to let her hand go any time soon and it's not like she wants him to. She peers around the room and sees the others staring at her. A light pink blush colors her cheeks so she tries to ignore the eyes of the other on her.
"Thor, could you help me? I would like to stand up." Thor looked to the two healers first for approval and they nod back to him telling him it was okay. Thor moves the arm that was wrapped around her shoulder down to wrap around her waist and effortlessly lifted her off the table. He carefully placed her feet on the ground and removed his arm from her waist but stayed close if she needed support. Bella's legs were shaky at first but she quickly steadies herself.
With Bella now standing in front of him, Thor realized she has also grown in height due to the transformation. Bella only reached his chin before, but now the top of her head was level with his eyes. Bella smiles up at him also noticing the height between them has changed.
Bella turns around to where Loki was still standing on the other side of the table. Without realizing it, Bella uses her new Asgardian speed to run over to Loki throwing her arms around him and wrapping him in a hug with her new Asgardian strength she also didn't know she was using. "Thank you for saving me, Loki. I wouldn't be here without you." She lets go of him and steps back away from him.
Feeling uncomfortable with the praise he wasn't used to receiving, Loki replied with an air of nonchalance. "So you do remember what happened. That is good to know. You were quite out of it. I wasn't sure you completely knew what you were agreeing too."
Bella could see right through his 'I don't care' attitude that was hiding his worry. She decided she wouldn't call him out on it. "Of course I remember. I made an oath to my soulmate and the people of Asgard, with this second chance I am being given I intend to keep my word." Bella tells her best friend with an air of confidence no one had seen from her before. Thor watches Bella smiling proudly.
Heimdall turns to the two healers and thanks them for their help and told them they should go back now to tend to the other Asgardians who received smaller injuries. The two women nod and leave the room.
Korg moves away from the others knowing that the woman he had come to know as Bella was okay and no longer dying. He was once again gazing out the window that had the perfect view of Asgard. "Hey, guys. I don't want to interrupt the moment that is taking place here but Asgard is still being destroyed." Korg calls out to the others. "Man, that giant fire guy is really taking his time."
Bella walked over to Thor and he once again grabbed onto her hand and pulled her behind him to the window. The others followed behind their soon-to-be King and Queen. Loki reached the window and stood closely at Bella's side in between her and Korg who was still holding Miek. She reached out with her other hand and grabbed Loki's. She squeezed both Thor and Loki's hand doing her best to comfort them. 142 and Heimdall walked to the window and stood at Thor's other side with Hulk behind them angrily huffing as he watched the destruction. He still didn't fully understand why Thor stopped him from killing the big monster.
The group all thought that Surtur would have finished by now. They were obviously too focused on Bella's recovery to watch Surtur's progress. Apparently, Surtur wanted to wait for all Asgardians to be available to watch the destruction of their home because a few seconds after arriving at the window Surtur swings his giant flaming sword through the air and brings it down entering the ground below, hard. This causes an explosion throughout all of Asgard blowing up structures and setting everything in flames.
"The damage is not too bad. As long as the foundations are still strong, we can rebuild this place. It will become a haven for all people and aliens of the universe." Korg says trying to stay positive. In the next moment, all of Asgard explodes into millions of little pieces. "Now those foundations are gone. Sorry."
The others continue to just stare out the window. Thor appearing to be the most depressed as he stared at what was once his home and now it's just... nothing. "What have I done?" Thor mutters to himself in horror but Bella could still hear him. She squeezes his hand once more in support.
"You saved us from extinction. Asgard is not a place, it's a people." Heimdall, who also heard, reassures Thor telling him the same thing Odin did.
Thor knows Heimdall is right but that doesn't take the guilt away.
After a while, they have moved away from the window and are all in deep thought. Heimdall is the one to break the silence. "With what has happened and what is to come, the Asgardians will need someone to lead them. They will need their King." Thor nods his head completely agreeing. Of course, he was scared of being in charge of so many others. However, he feels he is finally ready, especially with his soulmate, brother, and friends by his side. He has grown and matured over the years after his almost coronation that Loki disrupted. He wasn't ready then, but he is now.
"And you will be crowned Queen next to Thor." Heimdall says to Bella.
"Wait! What?! I know I promised to become Queen but is it really happening this fast? Don't I need to be married to Thor first?" Bella was shocked. She made a promise and she was going to keep it but this is fast, right?
"Being soulmates and accepting the soulmate bonds means you are practically already married. The coronation will take place first and you two can get married later on." Heimdall tells her somewhat amused by her shock.
"The same thing happened with my mother and father. They were soulmates and knew as soon as they met. Odin was already King so my mother had her own coronation a week after meeting and a month later they got married." Thor tells her reassuringly.
Another chapter is done! Ragnarok has finally come and Asgard has fallen. Where will our group go next?
