Loki and the Guardians continue to find their way through the cave and to find this mysterious object and so far they are getting nowhere closer to where the Laevatein might be. So far it feels like if they were going around in a circle, an endless circle where it feels like they have gone around the entire cave and that at any moment they will be back on where they have started and that alone is already making Loki feel more frustrated by the minute. If he knew that he was going to get lost then he would have taken his chances to go inside and try to figure out how to get around the cave. He has never felt this frustrated when it comes to going on a quest or trying to go or get anything.
Gamora is getting annoyed at the current situation as well, this is definitely going to take longer than she thought and she already feels like that they could have made it to Earth and already came up with a plan on how to possibly stop Thanos by now. That even if they would be deeling with who knows how many problems that Despite being lost in a cave on Vormir, she should be grateful that nothing has hapend yet and that they can continue to find their way through the cave without any problems.
Soon they are getting closer to a pathway where there are multiple directions to choose from and that it can lead anywhere in the cave. To much of both Loki and Gamora's annoyance, both Quill and Rocket started to argue on which way might possibly be the right way and over time it is becoming clear that neither of them knew where they are going and to the point that now they are seeing three paths where neither of them knows where the right direction might be. Loki can't believe this and even wished that this is nothing but an iillusion and that this object is hiding right in front of them. He is starting to think that maybe it would have definitely been better if he came out here alone.
"Please, don't tell me that we're now lost." said Loki who quickly ask once they reach the pathway and not even bothering to hide his frustration.
"We're not lost, we're just... misplaced." said Quill nervously.
"In other words, lost." said Gamora completely annoyed.
"I am Groot." said Groot pointing out something.
"Groot has a point, he says that lost and misplace practically means the same thing." said Rocket.
"I know that lost and misplaced practically mean the same thing." said Quill. "But saying that we're misplaced sounds better than saying that 'we're lost.'"
"You don't even need to say it, anyone can tell that we're lost from just one look at us." said Loki. "Did any of you even pay attention to where you were heading the first time that you were in here?"
"We were hoping to go in, grab the object and then rescue Gamora from Thanos. We never really thought that we would be here again or that maybe we would have failed the first time." said Drax. "Though we didn't even have that much of a plan the last time we were here, it also doesn't help that we might have underestimated the monster that we were confronting."
"Are you Kidding me?" said Gamora in disbelief with Loki sighing in the background.
"What? You can't blame us on that one, we were hoping to get this thing and get out to save you from Thanos." said Drax. "We didn't even go further beyond thinking of our goal and quickly got into action over the course of our last attempt."
"So you didn't even have a plan?" said Gamora not even hiding her groan.
"Uh, we were hoping that by just winging it then maybe we will be able to pull it off." said Quill sheepishly. "Though when you guys put it that way, maybe we should have had a plan or at least have a under developed plan where we can at least say that we have a plan but not really have a plan. You guys know what I mean right?"
Loki just stared at the four Guardians in disbelief in deep silence, almost immediately he put his right hand on his face in frustration and disbelief. What was he thinking? In letting them come along inside the cave like this? Sure he needs them to take him to the Laevatein, but at the rate they are going he might as well have gotten the Hulk to lead him around caves and he wouldn't know the difference except the fact that he would be taking an endless amount of heeling potion or at least what he has left of it and to drink all of it if not obtain more because unlike the last time that he was smashed by the Hulk and this time he has a good reason to be angry and would definitely be trying to break every bone in his body. He quickly turned to see Gamora just as annoyed as Loki is, this situation is not looking so great.
But Loki knows that just getting annoyed at the Guardians and letting out his frustrations are not going to help them get the object. He thinks that he might know a solution on how to solve this problem and maybe it will allow the pace to go a little quicker. Loki starts to head over towards Quill and he quickly grab a hold of Quill's head to quickly do a memory spell on him. It quickly takes a couple of seconds and eventually once Loki is done, he can't help but smile with the hope that maybe this spell will improve matters and that maybe they will be going to the right direction now they will be able to heading to the right direction.
"I don't know what you just did but somehow I can remember everything that happend the last time and I think that it's this way." said Quill as he heads down one direction. The other Guardians quickly turned to Loki, everyone except Gamora is surprised to see how Loki managed to do it and that they might possibly be going in the right direction.
"What did you..." started Rocket who can't believe what he just seen and how Loki is able to get Quill what he wanted that easily when he failed doing that for the past two months.
"A simple memory spell that I wish that I did sooner." said Loki. "It gave him all of the memories from his past visit here and it will lead us to this object and at least we will no longer have to worry about any more delays."
"So you're a wizard that can do magic?" said Drax, capturing Loki by surprise. "That's really awesome! Do me next!"
"I am Groot." said Groot amazed as well and no one needs Rocket to translate to know that Groot thought Loki is cool.
"Well, I would usually call myself a sorcerer, but wizard works." said Loki who is surprised and flattered to see that there are more aside from Darcy that might find his magic amazing. "I would only do spells to try to get things in progress, though I won't mind showing off my magic and put on a show when ever I feel like it."
"I think I can get used to the idea of having someone with magic on the team." said Rocket. "Is there anyway you can make Quill a genius permanently or give me some cool effective super power where I can read minds or give me ahanced power moves or fighting skills where I can knock someone down with just one punch?"
"I don't think that is a good idea." said Gamora who doesn't seem to like the idea of an overpowered Rocket and him being able to read her mind.
"I can't perform that kind of magic, I can use my magic for mind tricks, illusions and the occasional telekinesis." said Loki. "I have been briefly exploring my inherent powers and so far they are better than I thought they were. But even if I could I wouldn't because the last thing I want is to start something that I might later regret and can we just go back on focusing on our mission here?"
"Loki's right, the sooner we find this object and possibly obtain it, the sooner we will be able to start on actually thinking of a plan that might possibly stop Thanos." said Gamora. As she starts to go down the same path Quill is going on. "I don't even want to know what Thanos might be doing right now and I think that it would be better for all of us if we try to get out of here before we face any unwanted monster where we would have to fight off and our lives would be in jeopardy."
"I am Groot." said Groot agreeing with Gamora as he follows her down on the same path.
"I do have one question." started Drax stopping Loki and he quickly nodded for Drax to proceed with the question. "Do you think you're magic might be able to turn me invisible?"
Loki quickly gives an annoyed sigh as he starts to continue on the path, he may relate with the Guardians and admire on how they were able to turn away from their dark moments of their lives and to start a new life. But with how things are going, he doesn't even know how possibly managed to defeat Ronan let alone survive the Power stone. The only one he thinks is a competent fighter that might be able to stand a chance against any foe that they might encounter is Gamora. He's not thinking that just because of her upbringing, but it's mostly of how she is able to survive Thanos and knows how to fight off any thing that might dare try to attack her. Still he hasn't seen them in a fight or how they handle themselves in a dangerous situation and if they can do more than just tell jokes or try to fight off something without even having a plan. That is he hopes that for all of their sake, he is wrong and that things will make a quick turn around and maybe they are not going to encounter something that might kill them in less than a minute.
Ten minuetes Later
Loki and the Guardians soon arrived in a chamber where it is surprisingly nicer than the rest of the cave have been, so far it seems to be a circular like cavern where the mysterious Laevatein is. So far it looks like that they can easily grab the object and leave without any trouble, but they would have to climb up a small staircase where they will be able to climb up and reach over the rock to get the object and get out. So far it seems to be an easy grab and that maybe whatever monster the others dealt with the last time.
"So yeah, this is it and wait till you guys see what happens whenever someone tries to touch it." said Quill. "It literally blasted me out of the cave, but then again all we did was try to get close enough to grab it and then the next we knew is that it blasted us back to the entrance and then the next thing we knew is that we had to fight against some crazy giant creature."
"Did any of you do something that caused this thing to react and later attack you?" asked Gamora.
"No all we did is go up to try to get a good look and later grabbed it before the blast occurred." said Drax. "There wasn't any sign of danger and the stranger didn't exactly give us directions on how we can carry it."
"Do you think that you can use magic to somehow get the object to fly right towards us? So that way, we will be able to take it to the ship without being thrown out of the room again." said Rocket. "I am not in the mood to deal with whatever mess we had to deal with last time again."
"I think I might be able to possibly cast a spell to make it levitate." said Loki. "But first I need to see the object so that way I will be able to calculate how much magic I would need to possibly be able to levitate it and not have it's powers throw us out of the cave or in this creature's stomach."
"Are you sure that you can't just teleport this thing and us out with a spell rather than go through all of this trouble to get the object out and get things done quicker?" asked Quill.
"First of all, I don't really teleport and the closest thing that I can do to teleport is having us go through a hidden portal. But unfortunately there's no portal here or anywhere on this planet." said Loki. "Even then we would have to leave your ship behind and that will give us a whole new problem when it comes to transportation."
"Ok good point, so how exactly you are planning to examine this thing without it getting blasting you away?" said Quill.
"I'm planning to see if I can go up to see this object and then maybe I will be able to see what might be the best way to possibly to try to do this." said Loki. "All I need is to cast an illusion that might be strong enough to full whatever is making the object blast once one gets close enough to this thing."
The next thing that all of them knew is that the object seem to be making a loud blast sound and they suddenly see that Groot was trying to get close to the object. But like the first attempt that the Guardians tried to get the Laevatein, the next thing that they knew is that Groot is flying through the air. Fortunately for Groot, Drax quickly caught him and put Groot down. Once Groot is perfectly safe, he quickly goes closer to Rocket still trying to process what happened and even goes closer and behind Rocket's tale for a little sense of security.
"I am Groot." said Groot in a childlike tone.
"Looks like Groot thought that maybe he can get a good look at it and that obviously wasn't the best idea." said Rocket gently patting Groot's back.
"It looks like I might need an illusions if I want to make sure that I don't get blasted too." said Loki. "I wonder what might be up there that might have this kind of power?"
Soon Loki quickly uses his magic to make himself transparent that only the Guardians will be able to see him, after staring at the rock where the mysterious object is and the challenge that is waiting for Loki to obtain it. Once Loki decides to start to head towards this mystery object and to see if this might possibly work and to be one step closer on defeating Thanos. He begins to climb up the stairs and to start on the journey that is about to catch all of them by surprise, the moment that Loki took the first step on the stairs, a small gust of wind begins to blow right at Loki and for once whatever is guarding the object seems to be more accepting of Loki then it might have been for any of the Guardians that attempted to grab it. Though to Loki's surprise, any magic that he might have been using as a defense suddenly disappear.
Loki doesn't even know what to make of this because nothing has ever disrupted his magic like this unless someone just put Asgardian handcuffs on him and even then it was never in a way where he can still use his powers. Maybe he will have better luck and that maybe they will be able to pull things off after all and that they will be able to succeed in getting whatever thing he might be getting or if he will be able to succeed in whatever he is about to do. Loki continues to slowly go up the stairs and found himself constantly stopping himself in case whatever might be causing the blast won't directly affect them and that he will be able to get this thing without possibly having to deal with starting over or alerting whatever monster that might be guarding it. As Loki continues to get closer and closer, the Guardians are staring at the scene really surprised and can't believe Loki's luck.
"Did any of you made it that far the first time?" asked Gamora who doesn't even know what to think and surprised to see what is happening too.
"No, we couldn't make it past the first step." said Quill who is just as surprise she is.
"Though the real question is why couldn't we have gotten an Asgardian to grab this thing sooner?" said Rocket. "All we needed is to find one, have them break into Thanos's ship to get both of you and grab this thing while avoiding that thing."
"I am Groot." said Groot agreeing with Rocket and at the same time finds Loki really cool.
"Are any of you aware that I can still hear you?" said Loki calling from the steps as he is about to make the final steps to obtain the Laevatein.
Things are going better as planned and Gamora knows that this is a great sign and that this might be a turning point after all. She always knew that Loki has this powerful ability but she never thought that it would be this strong, otherwise he would have escaped Thanos the first chance he got and now he's showing that he is able to get to an unobtainable object for some reason is really impressive. Gamora for some reason is starting to have a sense of hope that she has when it comes to Thanos, one that she wouldn't believe that might happen a year ago. That Loki might finally be the one that might be able to take Loki down, he seems to have enough power to do the impossible and he also managed to gather all of the remaining Infinity Stones faster than Thanos ever managed to do so. Along with maybe just maybe with this mystery object then they might stand a chance against Thanos and that is if they come up with a good plan and they find a way to defeat Thanos then it might work after all.
Loki soon got on to the top of the staircase and quickly looks down to see what might be this object and what might possibly be the weapon that might be powerful enough to stand a chance against Thanos. When he finally sees this object, Loki doesn't even know what to think about the sight right in front of him as he stares at the object and wants to just get up and leave. He can't believe that he might have to possibly fight Thanos with just a sword and that there is something that is trying to protect it from anyone who might want or try to obtain it. The sword's blade is completely silver and the handle is black with hints of green on a brown straps and on the top of the handle, it has a dark green gem on a silverish base.
Loki stared at the base and not even sure what to say or do at the sight, once he got over his initial reaction towards the sword, Loki decides that it might be best to try to approach the sword as carefully as he can and to make sure that he doesn't set off any alarms or that might possibly make some kind of affect that might ruin the progress that he has made to get this far and to get this thing before something else happens.
When Loki grabs a hold of the sword, he is surprised to see what the sword is made out and is already starting to have questions on this sword and how it might have possibly landed in a cavern on Vormir. The sword is made from Asgardian metals and from just one look, Loki thinks that this must have belonged to the Asgardians that Red Skull must have been talking about and that something must have happened for this sword to remain on Vormir, the question is what happened and who was the Asgardians that came here?
Maybe before he leaves this planet, he should ask this Red skull a few questions, Loki slowly grabbed the sword and the next thing that they all knew is that the sword begins to grow a little bit and nothing else seems to happen. So Loki starts to go down the steps and rejoins the Guardians, they all quickly got a good look at the sword and don't even know what to think of the fact that they went through all of this just for a sword. But they all knew that this has to be important from all of the security protecting the sword and that only Loki was able to get it and that the sword seems to have some form of power and might possibly be connected to Loki. But the question is what is it's power and why did it react to Loki differently and is it possible that he might be connected to it?
"Whoa, that was faster than I imagined or even thought that would take." said Quill. "So that thing and that magic forcefield thing was protecting a sword this entire time?"
"It definitely looks that way, but the peculiar thing is that the sword is Asgardian made and I think that whatever happened with those Asgardians might have something to do with this being here." said Loki. "To be honest, I didn't even know that Asgardians were even on this planet prior to my arrival and the only thing I know about... But it can't be, it's only a legend... A myth to tell children at night and even then the story is too farfetched to be true."
"What is? Loki what is so unbelievable about this story?" asked Rocket. "In case you have forgotten, you can do magic and you just managed to grab this sword from an unobtainable location that we kept failing to reach. If that is already unbelievable, then I don't even know what might top that."
"In the myth, the Laevatein is a weapon forged by the dwarves as a token of gratitude for the Asgardians." explained Loki. "It is said for it to choose it's wielder if the current king of Asgard or the obtainer sees them as someone who can handle it's power and to help them to achieve their quest and whatever journey that they may embark on in the future."
"What does this sword do? What power does it have?" asked Gamora who is even finding herself admiring the sword.
"It is said to ahance anyone's abilities through making their magic or powers more invincible than it would be without the sword." said Loki. "As I said, it's just a legend that was told to show children why they should remain well behaved because good things will come to them if they are well behaved."
"But it might be true right?" asked Drax. "You did say that the sword has to see if the one wielding is strong enough to withstand it's power and you just managed to go through the high protection that was guarding the sword."
"Just because the sword was highly protected doesn't mean that the legend is true, we are talking about a sword that is said to reveal the truth and make a simple attack spell as strong as the most advanced spells that it takes years to master." said Loki. "Besides the story also says that the sword is supposably a family heirloom to my adoptive family and Odin would definitely have this said sword in his vault. In the past few times that I visited the vault and my most recent visit in there, I have never seen a legendary sword in there."
"I am Groot. I am Groot." said Groot. "I am Groot."
"Groot says that maybe it is this legendary sword and just because you didn't see it in the vault that doesn't mean that it doesn't exist." saiid Rocket. "Groot does have a point, all of the things are pointing out towards the idea that your fantasy sword might be real after all."
"Just because all of the facts are pointing towards this being real, it doesn't mean it is." said Loki. "The same can be said towards the fact that just because that stranger called this sword the same name, it doesn't mean that the legend is true. Let's just focus on figuring out on how we might be able to use this to defeat Thanos and-"
Before Loki can finish saying what he is saying, there is a loud howl that came out of nowhere and the next thing that they knew is that there is suddenly a loud growl slowly approaching towards the Guardians and Loki. Quil, Drax and Rocket got ready for the fight against the mystery creature that might be ready to defeat all seven of them. Groot starts to frown at what might is slowly approach them, he really does not want to face what they are going to face and hopes that they might have better luck this time. While both Loki and Gamora stared at the creature in shock, not being able to believe what is this creature is and how it is something unexpected and yet dangerous.
Standing right in front of them is a giant wolf like creature and it is ready to take down anyone that may dare disturbs it's den and to make sure that the Guardians and Loki does not go any further than this den and to start to retrieve the sword and place it back on to it's original location. Loki can't believe his eyes, if someone told him that he would be facing a myth that he heard from his childhood and one that he would role his eyes at from how ridiculous the story is and how that there is no possible way it can exist... Then he would have thought that everyone lost their minds and he was the only sane person in the room, but even now he's wondering if he is starting to loose his mind...
"It can't be..." started Loki as he stared at the wolf in complete shock and even starting to lift the sword up and is ready to fight off the creature in anyway he can. "It's impossible..."
"What is?" said Quill. "Do you know something about this overgrown mutt that we should know about?"
"It's called Fernis and she is also a story that they tell children about at night, it's a story about a wolf that's associated with death itself and how her master commands the wolf to do her bidding and to help her fight the battles for her master." said Loki. "It was mostly a story to teach children the power of friendship and the values of teamwork."
"That sounds great and all, but does this fairy tale tells us how we can stop this thing?" asked Rocket.
"No, these are stories that were created to entertain children and to teach them a life lesson, it never occurred to me that any of these stories were true and I would be facing these stories in a dangerous situation." said Loki.
"That's wonderful." said Gamora sarcastically before turning determined. "Let's start to fight this Fenris off before she decides to destroy us all and try to defeat it this time."
"Let's tear this thing apart!" said Drax excitedly as he pulls out his blades ready to fight off the wolf.
"Yeah, let's get rid of this dog before she ruins our chances and try to kill us again." said Quill.
"I believe that it might be best if two of us focuses on distracting the creature and while the rest of us-" begins Loki before he can even give a brief concept of a plan, he noticed Rocket doing something with a device. "What are you doing?"
"Well since this is going to take a while and this giant puppy is going to give us a fight of our lives." said Rocket. "I thought that maybe we can listen to some of Quill's music while we fight it off."
"How is this going to help us?" asked Drax.
"If we die because we are going to try to take this thing out, I figured that we might as well listen to tunes before we do so." said Rocket. "Along with make this a little more bearable."
"No one is going to die, but still is this really nessicarry?" said Gamora.
"Yeah, I'm with Drax and Gamora on this one, this doesn't seem to be important right now." said Quill.
"Says the one who is obsessed with his music." said Rocket.
"Really, it doesn't seem to be my top priority at the moment." said Quill. "As much as I love my music, but I-"
"We are about to face Fenris, a dangerous beast who probably killed hundreds and there is also the fact that the four of you barely made it out with your lives the last time," pointed out Loki in annoyance, "and you are all arguing about whether or not we should listen to music right now?"
"He has a point." said Gamora in agreement.
"Yeah, let's take this dog to the pound!" said Quill as he puts on his Star Lord helmet and the next thing Loki knew is that the Guardians minus Gamora and Groot.
"They ran into battle without a plan, are your friends always this... rambunctious?" asked Loki to Gamora.
"To be honest, things are mild today and even then we are the best that the Galaxy has to offer." responded Gamora. "Sure we may not look like the sort of team that anyone would take seriously but I can promise you that we are going to get out of this alive, we will find out more about the sword and defeat Thanos."
Before Loki can even say anything, the next thing he knew is that all of the sudden there was music in the background and he turned to see Groot dancing around and ignoring everything else in the background. Even though Loki has to admit seeing Groot dance around is adorable, but he knows that this is not going to help them fight off Fernis. He quickly looked at the fight right in front of him and so far it doesn't look good, he wonders how they are going to finish anything at the rate things are going or at least make this out alive. The situation is definitly not looking good at the moment and Loki is starting to question the odds and looking at the situation more negatively by the minute.
"I can't believe that I am going to fight a losing battle with an overgrown dog with just a sword, you, a dancing twig in the background and three imbeciles." said Loki with a sigh and not even knowing what to make of the situation.
Gamora gave Loki a symphatic look and remembering her first impressions when she first met the other Guardians, but still they are going to help Loki in anyway they can to defeat Thanos. Their lives also depends on the fact on whether or not they will be able to surviive from this and hopefully without any injuries. Soon both Loki and Gamora joined the others and begins to fight off Fenris and to make sure that they will do everything to defeat Fenris.
The fight is getting to a point where both sides are an equal match and that there is no sign of either sides ready to give up the fight. So far Loki and the Guardians are doing the best they can to make sure that even if they can't defeat Fernis, they can at least find a way to escape with the sword. But Fernis is not having any of it and is becoming more viscous by the minute, wanting to stop them in anyway she can possibly can and to make sure to retrieve her master's sword before it's too late. No one should have the right to hold it, especially this mysterious Asgardian that is no where near the same as her masters's.
They all try to hit Fernis to see if they can fully stop her or at least knock it out, so far it doesn't seem to be throwing the wolf off guard or at least scare it off. The wolf continues to rage in the battle, the Guardians are hitting the wolf as hard as they can with their weapons and so far the wolf is getting more and more agresive thrrough every single attack. Loki knew that it looks like he's going to need to do some magic on this creature if they want to end this sooner, he has to admit the story wasn't exaggerating when it says that Fernis is hard to defeat and that if they want to finally end this battle. He can't believe he still hasn't tried to do any magic or illusions yet, but then again it is a giant wolf not an army of Chitauri and it should supposably be easier to defeat Fernis than defeat Thanos with all of the Infinity Stones in his grasp.
So Loki decides that it's time to unleash his magic to Fernis and end this fight right here and now. Loki quickly begins to do that trick of combining his magic and ice powers together, but something happened that Loki didn't even expect. The next thing that they all knew is that Loki's new power combo is a lot stronger than any of them even anticipated and that it caused more of reaction then it did when Loki did it when he was fighting Thanos prior to his capture and it seem to have caught the wolf by surprise and blew her away. The Guardians minus Groot all stared in shock, they didn't think or expect any of this to happen, especially with a blast that might have thrown the wolf off like this, it almost like Loki got a power upgrade. Loki also didn't expect that to happen or let alone be that effective, the next thing that Loki knew is that whenever he does a spell or any form of magic the affect is stronger than he thought that would happen if he does magic in combat or any form of magic in general. Something must have been...
What if it was the sword that is enhancing Loki's powers and somehow the story of the Laevatein is true and that he must somehow have become it's successor. He wonders how all of this is possible and if somehow Odin must know about the sword. If this is really the sword form the story then how come Odin would let it sit on a random planet like this? Unless there is another secret that he is hiding that might cause trouble later on, that seems to be a very likely scenario and one that Loki knows that there is a bigger mystery revolving around the sword's connection to him. He needs to find out what it is and how to possibly use it, but first he has to defeat Fernis.
Before Loki can even have a chance to continue to fight off the wolf, Fernis having enough and wants to see if she can somehow trick Loki into dropping the sword and to reclaim her territory. Fernis quickly jumped over Loki and the Guardians and landed on the device that Rocket adjusted so they would all listen to music, completely destroying it and ending Groot's dance party. Groot turned to see what might have caused the music to stop and finds Fernis standing on a destroyed music devise. With a scream, Groot runs over to the wolf and begins hitting her with his little branches and is about to begin an even bigger attack. Before Fernis reached over Groot and pounced him with one paw and gave him a viscous growl. Once the growl ends, Groot realize that this wolf might not be worth trying to get into a fight and the danger that he is in right now. He tries to do everything he can to escape from Fernis and it's no use, her paw is too strong in Groot trying to fight back with hopes of escape.
"Get away from Groot!" yelled Rocket as he is about to pounce on Fernis before Loki stops him.
"We can't just go up to Fernis and provoke her, judging from how she is ready to pounce the moment that we try to do anything. I highly doubt that the wolf might be willing to spare Groot if we attack it then we might make things worse." said Loki.
"He's right we can't save Groot without a plan, if we provoke the wolf then she might hurt Groot." said Gamora. "Loki what if you use that power or magic to try to catch Fernis by surprise?"
"Yeah that might not be a bad idea, you can just do what you just did just now and attack that thing long enough for us to get Groot and escape." said Quill agreeing with the plan.
"I can't do that might hurt Groot, that new move is suppose to cause enough damage through magic and ice to allow myself to make a sneak attack on my opponent. I can't just freeze her without freezing him in the progress." said Loki. "But maybe... I think I might have an idea on how we can do this, I just need the three of you to be a distraction for me and Rocket on my signal you lift that paw to allow Groot leave there."
With that the plan got into action and so far it seems to be working, Quill, Gamora and Darx are doing a good job on distracting Fernis and despite the fact that she has an iron paw on Groot. Fortunately, Rocket quickly manages to get under there to try to find a way to get it off Groot and he was able to get there completely undetected thanks to Loki's magic. Loki quickly gives Rocket the signal and he begins to lift the paw high enough for Groot to get out of there and once Groot is out, both of them got out of the way and Rocket quickly begins to check on him. After feeling a sense of relief for Groot and admiring the relationship that Rocket and the sapling must have, it reminded him of the times when he and Thor used to go on adventures or missions for Asgard. Whenever he was put in a dangerous situation where Thor finds himself trying to save him and checking in on him once the entire situation is over. Though he never really did care about how Thor is doing or if he is alright if it happened to him. Maybe he wasn't the best brother after all...
Well at least he knows that Thor will never have to worry about him again and now he has to do the next part of the plan without worrying about the potential chance that the worst might happen. So he quickly got closer to the wolf and hit it from behind and got the wolf's attention, Loki quickly took down the illusion to wait for the next few seconds to see what might be the thing that provoked her. Before she can even try to attack Loki, he quickly got the sword ready to fight off the wolf and is about to use some telekinetic magic to blow the wolf far enough so he can start to swing the sword at it until he finally tires the wolf. But the next thing that they all knew is that Loki is doing more than just using some telekinetic magic, all of the sudden there is an energy blast that pushed the wolf back further than any of them thought or expected.
Loki took a quick look and notices that the sword glowed for a little bit, he quickly realizes that the sword can also make his magic more powerful than before. He quickly make the same position and uses his magic to see if he can make the same blast again. It worked and Fernis kept flying to the point that she hit her head against the stone wall, the wolf quickly shakes off and is about to start to attack. But the wall starts to crumble and the next thing they all knew is that many rocks begins to fall and that wall collapsed. Trapping Fernis in a place where she can't escape or might have even survived from the collapse...
"Well that sword looks pretty magical, powerful and a real sword to me. Maybe that story is true after all, you did manage to defeat that dog with more magic then you showed so far." said Rocket. "Unless you have always been able to do all of that and just been holding back your powers for the right moment."
"To be honest, I have never unleashed this amount of magic into a blast before. It looks like that this sword has to be the Laevatein, I do wonder how did this sword wound up here and it's history." said Loki. "It wouldn't surprise me if my fath... well Odin kept this a secret and have been on this planet before."
"I am Groot?" asked a confused Groot.
"I'm going to safely assume that you also have daddy issues too, judging from the way you just call him by his real name?" asked Rocket.
"Considering the fact that our relationship was strained to say the least, I wouldn't be surprised if he is sending an army after me for my arrest." said Loki. "But then again, this wouldn't be the first time that he would lie about something that would later be revealed and might cause some sort of conflict and questions later on."
"So the real question is what else can you do with this magic mystery sword?" said Gamora. "If it has this much power that only a select few or at least you can operate it's power then we shouldn't give it to that buyer, we don't know how much more power you might have beyond what the story already told us and what might happen iif this ever lands in the wrong hands."
"I believe that we might not have a choice but figure this out as we go along." said Loki. "All we know that it seems to be enhancing my powers and sorcery that it might at least give me an equal standing when I eventually have to face Thanos again."
"But still you got your sword and it might give us some kind of advantage when we finally face Thanos." said Quill removing his Star Lord helmet. "I mean does Thanos even have a magic sword?"
"A magic sword that might possibly increase the effects of my sorcery and ice powers, we still don't know what else it might be capable of or how much power it possed." said Loki. "Especially with the fact that it was also said that the sword also have the ability to make the user's opponent tell the truth, that might come in handy if I ask that stranger some questions."
"What kind of questions?" asked Drax.
"I just need to know what happened to those Asgardians and how this sword got here, along with how I might be connected to sword and how am I the only one so far that can use it's powers." said Loki. "He's the only one that knows what happened and I am going to get those answers on our way out."
"At least you can get those answers once we get out of the cave." said Quill. "Let's get out of here in case that thing somehow survives and get out of that rock pile to attack us again."
"I am Groot." said Groot agreeing and hoping that Fernis doesn't try to attack him again.
With that they all quickly begin to make their way out of the cave and to head back to the ship, Loki still can't believe his luck that this new sword might give him an upgrade or a power where it might allow him to stand a chance against Thanos. First he needs to find out more about the sword and how it might possibly work, if he's going to be fighting with this sword then he is going to need to know everything he can about it's power and how to use it before having to fight before Thanos with not even knowing how to use this sword. He needs to finds out what this sword does and the whole story behind it, he just hopes that whatever Red Skull has to say is not going to reveal any more secrets that might cause trouble or whatever the truth may be won't break him like the last time...
8 minuetes later
Soon they have managed to find their way through the cave and didn't get lost this time to both Gamora and Loki's surprise and relief. The walk has been a little more enjoyable compared to the first time that they went through the cave to get to the sword. Even with the mystery surrounding the sword is still on Loki's mind and the story behind it, at least he is making the most of the situation and got to know the Guardians even more through out their journey out of the cave.
At least they are all the type that accepted him for who he is rather than judge him for his past, his heritage or any of his interests. Maybe the Guardians are more tolerable than he thought and aside from the fact that they seem to act rather immaturely but at least they are the few that he finds the Guardians relatable and that he feels a sense of happiness that they were able to find a life and free from the past. Though he wish that he can have that luck and at least he will finally make things right, but he might as well make the most of the time he has now before the war destroys any peace he has left.
"I am assuming that you and Groot must be close if you were that aggressive to Fernis and wanted to attack her just like that?" asked Loki who is curious to hear the story of these two unhumanlike creatures.
"Groot was the only friend that I had before meeting the others, we were bounty hunters and I wasn't the nicest towards him, well the old Groot." said Rocket remembering the friendship that he and Groot once shared.
"What do you mean by the 'old Groot?'" said Loki who doesn't know what to make of that statement. As he watches Groot who has ran up ahead to follow some kind of insect to try to catch it or play with it.
"During the fight against Ronan, Groot sacrificed himself to save all of us from dying while we were on a falling ship by forming into a giant ball too break our fall." said Rocket.
"Uh..." begins Loki not even sure on what to think of that statement and starting to come up with many questions about how can all of that happen.
"Groot was an adult when we first met him and let's just say that he was a different tree prior to his hero moment." Quill quickly explained.
"Wait does this mean that Groot died and got resurrected into a child?" asked Loki in confusion.
"Technically, I found a piece of Groot and replanted him and he then was reborn." said Rocket. "It was a miracle that things worked out and Groot was able to restart his life again."
"You kinda needed to be there to know what we are talking about." said Gamora trying to make things easier for Loki when it comes to answering his question. "Groot is an interesting case of where he was able to have a second chance and to start over as a child."
"Well it's mostly a fresh start for our relationship and a second chance for me to be a better friend for Groot." said Rocket.
"If it makes you feel any better, I have to say that you are doing a better job so far." said Loki. "You act like an older brother to him, I could have never have guessed that you both had a fractured relationship."
"Well it also helps that Groot doesn't remember his past life, so that also helped us start over." said Rocket. "Even if he still remember anything, I would have still have found a way to make things right and move forward with our friendship."
"At least you were lucky that Groot lost his memories, so you both can start anew without the past getting in the way." said Loki. "I wish I can have the same luck with... It doesn't matter, I going to have a new life once I finally stop Thanos, that is if I can survive whatever he throws at me."
"But still you can go and see what happens, I mean it wouldn't hurt to try to see if they are doing alright." suggested Rocket. "Who knows, maybe things will work out better than you expect and maybe your brother might want to see you. He might even be trying to find a way to save you right now."
"I'd be lucky if you're right, but Thor would never do that unless he still believes that I am Mysto." said Loki. "Other then that, I don't even know that he would even bother to try to save me from Thanos. If they do go after him, then it would mostly be to stop Thanos, retrieve the stones and maybe even try to save Gamora. I wouldn't be surprised if he is so angry that he never wants to see me again."
"Don't worry, your brother was really upset about your supposed death and that alone should convince you that maybe things won't be that bad." said Gamora hoping that this might convince Loki that maybe things won't be that bad.
"Well Thor's really hot tempered so I wouldn't be surprise if it all ends in a shouting match and even then it probably for the best that we all never see each other again." said Loki. "It will only bring too much pain for both of us..."
The four Guardians all exchanged a look at one another, not even knowing what to say towards that. Quill and Rocket can relate to the feeling of what it is like of being in a place where they feel like that they can't fix their mistakes. Though to be fair, Quill still feels like it if he still hasn't gone back to Earth after all of these years or even face any of the biological family that he has left behind on Earth. Drax knew that the choices that Loki is making is not a good one when it comes to his life on Earth and both of the relationships that he's leaving behind. Especially with Thanos who's going to find ways to cause Loki pain and he hurts Loki like how he hurt him with the death of his family.
While Gamora knew that this is not the best solution, despite the fact that they might be in a better standing when it comes towards defeating Thanos. But she knows that these choices are only going to lead to more trouble if he continues to make these choices, they are going to need more than just the six of them to see if they can fight off Thanos and his army. Even if they have a sword that increases Loki's powers whenever he uses it, she knows that Thanos will be aiming higher than ever before to make sure that he destroys Loki before he does anything more with the stones. That he will be willing to hurt hundreds more in order to find Loki, he will destroy the universe and everyone in it to make sure that he finds Loki no matter what the cost may be.
Before she can even finds the words to try to say something in hopes that Loki would at least consider on returning back to Earth. Groot is standing right in front of the cave waiting for all of them to catch up. When they all arrived, they were all surprised to see that the Red Skull is waiting for them and it looks like that things are not as calm as it seems. Loki can tell that there might be some trouble on the horizon and he held the sword in a tighter grip, this might be the only chance that they might have to find out the truth and to have all of the answers to his questions.
"Well it looks like that things worked out for you, the sword has finally has it's owner." said the Red Skull with a deep interest on Loki. "Let's makes things easier for all of us, just give me the Laevatein and I will let all of you leave the planet without any trouble."
"Uh... if we don't hand over the sword?" said Loki. "I don't believe that we would be satisfied to have come all of this way here for nothing. Especially with the fact that I might need this in the future."
"That's funny I might need it too... for my departure." said the Red Skull menacingly. "If you all refuse to give up the Laevatein then I will have no choice, but to make sure that you all don't leave off this planet alive."
"Yeah like we are going to just give you a powerful sword that might have the power to stand up to Thanos." said Gamora defensively and is slowly reaching towards her sword in case things are about to escalate to fight.
"Especially to someone we barely even know." said Rocket as he got ready for a possible fight as well.
"How about this? You answer some questions for us and then maybe we will let you off easy." said Loki. "Who was the Asgardians that came to this planet prior to my arrival? What happened that might possibly have led for the sword to be dropped here?"
"The Asgardians was here with Thanos for the Soul Stone, well technically the female Asgardian was with Thanos and the Allfather came to stop them." said Red Skull catching Loki, the Guardians and even Gamora by surprise.
"What was Odin doing on Vormir? Why was that Asgardian with Thanos?" demanded Loki wanting to know more about what happened back then.
"I have a better idea, instead of talking about the past and having me to agree on a one-sided deal. Why don't you just give in to my demands or else prepare to face my wrath." said the Red Skull as he rises up and ready to fight off Loki and the Guardians.
They all knew that they are going to have to fight off Red Skull for the sword and any answers, that it will be a fight that they need to win or else they will be facing having to go back where they started. Loki and the Guardians got into position and is about to try to see if they reason with the keeper and to avoid any conflict that might possibly delay them even more than they want to be. The next thing they all knew is that the Red Skull begins to attack the seven of them, by using his powers and any left over weapons that he still has from the last time that he was on Earth. He begins to blast all of them, but it wasn't as effective as he hopes just because of the fact that they all were able to get out of the way just in time.
Rocket quickly gestured to Groot to hide behind a rock, then turned to the others with his big blaster at the ready. The Guardians and Loki begins to fight off Red Skull in every way they can, trying to hit every Red Skull and to make sure that they take him down. So far from the powers that Red Skull has gained from the Soul Stone and to some extent the Tesseract. But that is nothing that Loki and the Guardians can't handle and at least they are giving the Red Skull a challenge and one that he's failing to stop and Loki knows that he has to use the sword to stop Red Skull. The more time that they spent to fight the Red Skull and to get him to tell them the truth, the longer that this fiight keeps on going and Thanos might be doing more to try to see if he can find him. He may not know on how he can use the sword or what other abilities it may posse, but what choice does he have?
"I know that this might not be a good time to say this, but I told you so." said Gamora as she attacks Red Skull. "This guy must be the keeper that is willing to do anything to try to get a weapon and to make sure that you don't leave this planet or at least make it out alive."
"Gamora, is this really a good time to rub it in?" said Quill, while he is making his move.
"I can't believe that we are fighting this crazy guy over a sword." said Rocket. "If I was going to fight someone over an object or specifically a weapon, I would pick something better than a sword."
"We are talking about a sword that has unlimited power and one that so far has the ability to increase power and might even possibly make my opponent to tell the truth and you really would pick something else."
"Yeah, the sword that you happen to be the only one that can use." pointed out Rocket.
"Well if I everything goes according to plan then we will be able to finish this." said Loki. "All I need is for the four of you to focus on distracting him for me, that way we will be able to not only stop him, get the answers and test out the full possibilities for these new abilities.
"Ok, so is your plan just to have us play distraction and maybe you might be able to unleash your full power and possibly stop this cherry head before he does something to us?" said Quill.
"At least it's better than just fighting this being and to waste any more time." said Loki. "If we are going to defeat him, then we are going to need to give him exactly what he wants."
"Alright then let's just hope that things work out and we might possibly at least make this out alive." said Gamora. "Why do I have the feeling that things are not going to end well?"
The Guardians and Loki begins to do their plan of attack and to start to distract Red Skull by giving him exactly what he wants and to make sure that he doesn't turn hiis attention away from them. While Loki on the other hand makes sure that he creates an illusion that will convince the Red Skull that he is still fighting right in front of them. One thing that caught him by surprise is that when he created the illusion, it seems to be attacking Red Skull by. unleashing some blasts of magic. That was unexpected and really effective, Loki knows that this is his chance to start the next part of his plan. Under the translucent illusion, Loki begins to approach the Red Skull and once he gets close enough... He quickly creates a magical blast to try to hit Red Skull, where it ultimately blasts him all of the way to a rock tower much to Loki and the Guardians' surprise.
Before the Red Skull can even have a chance to get up and begin to fight, Loki quickly heads towards him and quickly used his ice powers to see if he can keep the Red Skull in place. To his surprise, the sword seems to have been meeting or rather exceeding his expectations when it comes to his wishes and the next thing he knew is that the ice seems to have frozen the Red Skull in place and to have apparently created thicker ice then he created when he was fighting off Doctor Strange. At least it seems to be holding him in place and now all he has to do is to try to figure out how to make the sword make Red Skull tell the truth. When he approaches Red Skull, he pointed the Sword right at him to give him the message that he is not going to put up with any of this any longer.
"Well now that I have you at my mercy, let's start things easy and now just answer the simplest question and I will remove the ice and let you go. If you don't then-" said Loki before he can even finish saying what he is about to say. The swords gives a soft glow on Red Skull and then it quickly stopped to much of Loki's surprise.
"I would like to see how you plan to make me talk." said Red Skull menacingly as he realize that he still has one hand loose and be able to do something.
"You can start by telling me why that Asgardian woman and Odin was here in the first place? What is her association with Thanos?" asked Loki.
"The woman seems to be working with Thanos or helping him, they came here for the Soul Stone." explained Red Skull. "Odin came to stop them and with the intention to try talk the woman out of working with him."
"What happened? Why is Odin so concerned about this woman? If she was helping Thanos then why didn't he try to put her in the dungeon or try to fight her?" asked Loki. Not even sure what to think about these events, but still at the same time finds himself believing it.
"Thanos sacrificed her to get the stone, Odin was devastated and left this sword in that cavern." said Red Skull. "Apparently it was the woman's and he doesn't want the sword to fall into Thanos's hands or rather wait for it's true successor to come and to retrieve the sword in his grief."
"Who was that woman?" said Loki quietly who is trying to process this information. "What else does the sword do aside from enhancing my powers?"
"Oh I don't think I would like to ruin the surprises in store." said the Red Skull. "Especially with someone like you who is destined to do the impossible and might even have the power to be a powerful sorcerer that can do more than just take over a planet let alone continue on the path that you are on."
"I wanted to gain power, but it has only led me to more hurt and pain. I am still paying the consequences for my choices and will never make those mistakes again." said Loki defensively. "It does seem clear that you still haven't learned your lesson, is that why you want the Laevatein? For Power?"
"It's my gateway for freedom and the only way I can finally have the ability to make sure that I can have the power to finish what I have started." said Red Skull. "When I am done with you and those pesky Guardians then I will end things for good."
Loki stares at the disfigured red human and knows from one look there is no point in trying to talk him out of his path. He is beyond any chance to redeem or to try to reason with. He wonders if this is how he would have turned out if he hasn't picked the path that he has been on? Even then he knows that he can't leave without the other answers to his questions, he knows that the sword must have made Red Skull tell the truth from one glance of the sword's glow. He just hopes that he can somehow make Red Skull tell the truth. As the sword suddenly starts to glow again and a bit brighter than before, Loki knows that this time he is going to make sure that Red Skull tells him more than that. Before he can even have a chance to ask...
"Loki, look out!" called out a raspy voice.
The next thing Loki knew is that the Red Skull seem to be using his hand to see if he can use his ability to levitate to somehow get the rocks to fall on Loki. But fortunately, the Guardians were able to catch him in the act and begins to attack Red Skull from a difference without hurting Loki. Quill, Rocket and even Gamora is using their blasters to try to stop Red Skull as he slowly is trying to find a way to break free from the ice. Drax quickly pushed Loki out of the way before the rocks started to crumble. He can't believe that they all would go this far to save him, that they were willing to risk their lives just to save him. That they all managed to catch the danger that he was in before he can even notice the danger. To add more once he was safe further away from the Red Skull with the Guardians by his side, Groot quickly popped up behind the rock to look at Loki.
"I am Groot?" asked Groot innocently.
"Yes I am alright, thanks to all of you." said Loki being extra nice to sapling, already knowing what Groot must have been trying to say and grateful to the Guardians. Realizing that he was wrong about them and that maybe they are more competent then he thought.
"If we didn't spot that he was trying to summon those rocks in that minute before then you could have been crushed." said Gamora.
"It looks like that this guy is not going to be giving up anytime soon." said Rocket pointing out Red Skull's persistence.
"Then we should give him a reason to give up." said Loki determinedly as he stares at the Red Skull.
He quickly got right in front of the Guardians to see that the Red Skull is about to break free and maybe even to cause them all even more trouble. Loki suddenly feels a sense of anger towards the human. The next thing he knew is that the sword begins to glow again and that all of the sudden a blast came out of the sword and not only it breaks Red Skull free from his eye prison. But the magic is causing him to fly through the air and continues to fly until he hits the rock tower even harder than the last time and it starts to rumble, then all of the sudden it collapse and all of the rocks fell on Red Skull. Ending his reign on Vormir, as Loki and the Guardians stare in shock...
"At least that's done." said Rocket as he stares at the giant rock pile. "So why couldn't you just have done that earlier?"
"I didn't even know that I can do that." said Loki as he stares at the sight right in front of him. "It seems like that this can also powered through my emotions, that's probably why I was able to make him tell me everything. I felt like I needed to know the truth and when I was angry at him for daring to catch me off guard that caused that blast."
"Well the important thing is that we got the sword and we defeated that creep." said Quill.
"Though I wish I could have found out more on what happened here and the sword's abilities." said Loki. "Now I might never know what happened back there and the power that this sword might have or how to even use it."
"I would tell you what happened, but I never knew that Thanos came here with Asgardians or let alone who it was." said Gamora. "I have always thought that he managed to find a loophole with the sacrificial requirement with his love death, apparently he must have had a close bond with this woman."
"It doesn't matter, we have the weapon and now we are one step closer on defeating Thanos." said Loki. "All I need to do is to come up with a plan, use this sword against him and then maybe I will ask a couple of questions before I am done. If this actually works and if I make it that far."
"You will make it that far, we have your back and going to help you stop Thanos for good." said Gamora with the other Guardians nodding their head in agreement.
"Why did you all try to save me?" asked Loki unsure what to think of what happened prior Red Skull's defeat.
"You were in trouble and we knew that we have to find a way to help you." said Drax. "That he was about to attack you, for simply trying to obtain object that doesn't belong to him."
"Not only because of the fact that he might do us in right after he's done with you, but there is also the fact that we did not risk our lives and went through all of this just to see you get killed because of your personal problems and a crazy power hungry maniac." said Rocket.
"Well then with that settled, let's head back so we can all start to plan our next move." said Loki as he starts to make his way towards the Guardians'
Loki can't help but feel grateful for the Guardians and admire the strength that they just shown, maybe they were not as weak minded individuals as he thought and maybe they will be able to be helpful after all. Even be more than his back up team when he finally face Thanos, at least he has someone that might stand by his side and now he is going to need all of the help he needs to somehow manage to defeat Thanos. But still he is starting to feel better about all of this and that now things are starting to look up in this dark situation and that there might be some hope for the upcoming battle ahead that there might be some hope after all. That maybe with the sword and the Guardians of the Galaxy on his side then maybe they will be able to defeat Thanos for good.
Though Loki wishes that things doesn't have to end this way, that he can at least go to Earth and make things better between him and Thor. To at least explain himself in hopes that his brother would at least hear him out, that maybe they can at least come to a mutual understanding. While for Darcy, he was hoping that any feelings that he may have towards her would have disappeared over the course of the couple days they have been kept apart. But these feelings seem to have been growing stronger over the course of his time in space, despite whatever they may be Loki knows that it might be best for both of them if they continue to stay apart. Though he still wants to find a way to apologies for everything and to at least say goodbye.
He just wishes that things does work out and that maybe he will somehow find a way to make things work out, but he knows that it can never work out and that things have to be this way. Loki knows that he has to move on from this and focus on Thanos, even if he just wants to go down and to see them and things magically work out. But deep down Loki believes that there is no chance that things would ever work out if he ever dares to go back to Earth, it would just bring more trouble for both of them and that he should just stay up in space. He can never go back to Earth...
Well it looks like that Loki still feels like that going to back to Earth is anything but a good idea. But then again, can you really blame him? After all he has been through in this story and the movies, a happy family reunion where both brothers can forget their troubles is the last thing he thinks that might happen. If only he gives Thor a chance and allow him to show Loki how much he still cares for him...
Don't you guys worry, they will meet again before the final battle begins and while we are on the topic of the final battle, there's only three chapters left before the epic final battle begins. The next chapter will come out as early as two weeks depending how soon I get the next chapter done and let's just say the next two chapters are going to not only give us some more character development and heartwarming moments. I can't wait till you guys read them and the final battle where it's going to be really intense to say the least.
Things will add up and the sword will playing a huge role for the battle, we will see Loki gather the strength he needs to face Thanos and grow into the hero that he has the potential to be. Special thanks to wiredhead for the idea and I hope that this was exciting and that you enjoyed these chapters and continue to enjoy the future chapters. :)
On another note, I'm also thinking of possibly doing one-shot chapters for Redemption that takes place during the time skip and it can be anything like slice of life fics, Loki teaming up with the Avengers or just Thor and Loki as Mysto of course. teaming up (it can be a midquel story with multiple chapters), maybe even a Loki and Hiemdel team up (I still want to do it and would be happy to do it in a one shot) or maybe even Loki ad Darcy's adventures of searching for the Infinity Stones. But it has to take place during the time skip and not be something that would add more to the main story that it would be necessary to read them. They are mostly would be stand alone stories that still in the Redemption canon. I'm open to any idea that you guys might have, just put a review or pm me with your ideas and I'll be happy to use your ideas to write them into one shots. (Maybe even a Guardians of the Galaxy prequel/midquel before Gamora got caught by Thanos?) Though I would be mostly doing Loki ones but I am open to the idea.
Lastly, I want to say is that I am dedicating the Redemption fanfic to a good friend that has been there for me for the last couple of years. One that I will always appreciate that our friendship happend for the rest of my life. I am dedicating this story to Brigitta Pekelharing, a friend that helped me out of the darkness that I often take for granted. But I want to thank her for everything and helping me during the darkest time of my life, her friendship has made me grow into a better person and writer. I am always going to be grateful for the friendship that we shared and the impact that it made on me. In a way if it weren't for our friendship then there might not even be a Redemption because she got me into Marvel movies and helped me at the beginning of writting the fanfic. Thanks Brigitta for everything :)
So will Loki ever come to his senses and finally return to Earth? Will he find out the truth about the sword and Hela? Will the Avengers ever reach space and if so how are they going to find Loki, Gamora and the Guardians? Will Thor and Loki ever reunite and work out things out? How are they planning to confront Thanos? What's the game plan for a fight that is fast approaching? Read the next chapter of Redemption to find out, see ya in the next update. :)
