Chapter 26 "Fight of a God, Heart of a Mortal"
Harry was busy packing and getting ready for the trip to Asgard. He had text everyone that he was leaving in two days. He heard back from the twin right away. It seems that they needed a lab to use away from their overbearing mother. He wrote back that he would check with his Parents and get back to them, which he had to do after he finished. Harry stacked all the finished homework in his school trunk ready for when he returned to School. His travel trunk was just about finished with the packing; he needed to get Shadows bowls and favorite toys for the trip.
"Hey Kiddo, you ready to leave this rock?"
"Hey Bucky," Harry smiled opening his locket. "Yeah just about. You look like you're about to leave yourself."
"Yeah I got a mission; another old HYDRA base has popped up I am going to go do some recon, for SHIELD. But I won't be back before you leave for Asgard sorry." The Winter Soldier said apologetically.
"How long will you be gone?" Harry asked thoughts getting quiet.
"I shouldn't be gone more than a week, two tops. I'll be back in time to see you off to school." Bucky pulled the boy into hug trying to reassure him. He knew that the little wizard hated it when he left for missions. Since Harry had been rescued he would stick close to either his parents or Bucky when he wasn't on missions. It was hard being away at school from the man who raised him. Bucky was just a comfort that Harry couldn't quite explain. Once during an extremely terrible flashback like dream he woke in complete terror and his father could do nothing to soothe his son. Loki eventually called to the Winter Soldier for help because he was a familiar presence to the traumatized child. Bucky held Harry all night long as he would do when they had a really bad training day at HYDRA. The Prince could not hate the mortal that held his son because he been there to raise and protect his son when he could not.
"Promise?" Harry hugged back a little tighter.
"I'll do my best buddy. But you'll be so busy in Asgard you won't even notice I'm gone."
"Yes I will." The boy's thoughts muttered as he buried himself into Bucky's chest.
"You'll be okay. I'll be okay like I said its recon only. If I run into trouble then I'll call Uncle Steve to bail me out."
"No question. Bucky always needs me to bail him out of trouble." Steve answered as he entered the room.
"Yeah just calling in the 'you owe me' chips I got. I used to save your Uncle Steve since we were kids."
"Don't listen to Harry he exaggerates. I want you to know Harry, I will always back Bucky up and bring him home. I know you miss him when he's gone, so do I, but he does very important work. We'll have to wait patiently for his return and remember that he will always do his best to come home to us." Steve ruffled the shaggy black hair.
"Yeah, he does." The little demi-god conceded. "You'll be careful though won't you?"
"Of course I will bud."
"Master Barnes, Director Fury is calling. He says that you have ignored his last ten text messages."
"Tell the Director I am on my way in. Leaving in five minutes." Bucky sighed before turning back to the guys he loved more than anything. "Sorry Duty calls. I'll be home soon, promise."
"Stay safe." Steve said hugging his husband squishing Harry between them.
"I will." Bucky smiled before giving his hubby a quick kiss. He reluctantly let go of Steve and Harry and headed off to work.
"Why don't we go out to lunch? I know a Strawberry Milkshake makes the sting of Bucky leaving hurt a little less." The captain suggested still holding Harry in a one arm hug.
"Yeah I'd like that."

"Thank you, Winky."
"We'll see you in three days." Fred and George said as they dismissed the house elf. They began their long walk home. After Harry said that they could use Frigga's Meadow for their Potions work they had to walk at least a mile before they could call the House elf to take them to the manor so they could set up the lab. Ron and Ginny had been unbearable this summer. Ginny yelled at Ron for failing to get Harry resorted and Ron yelled back that Harry was a dumb wizard that fallen in to Dark company, a.k.a. Malfoy. The two would only stop fighting when their father returned from the Ministry.
Fred and George were already looking forward to their lab days just to escape the noise. The Phone was going to be great help in calling others for advice and ideas. Malfoy was a good source as he was with Snape a potion's master and they would able to run using possible ingredients together before trying it out. Neville was also going to be a great help as he promised to supply a lot of their floral ingredients and a fair price.
"Arthur, why are you supporting this?" The twins rolled their eyes could hear their mother shrieking halfway down the pathway. They figured that the news of Madame Bones was running for Minister finally reached their mother. Susan called to tell them over a week ago when it was made official so it wasn't news to them. Their Mum had a problem with things being outside the norm. She thought women should marry and keep a home for their men and raise a family. She thought it was ridiculous for women to work as aurors or at the ministry. She was raised by old pureblood ways that Young women were secretaries to find a husband and only spinsters became healer and hospital Matrons. So of course she was going to be against a witch as Minister.
"Because, she would make a good Minister and she doesn't fold under the pressure of the Old Purebloods. Fudge is puppet and has the spine of a flubber-worm. Our world needs to change haven't you notice that a lot of witches and wizards are leaving England?"
"It's only because of dark rumors. I agree fudge is the worst Minister we have ever had but why couldn't it be a strong wizard like you?" Molly asked as she continued to cook dinner.
"Me? I am no Minister. I know nothing about running a government." The Weasley patriarch protested.
"But you don't have to know anything, Not with Albus helping you, guiding you as Minister. You would be great and our world would thrive."
"You are mad if you think that would help our world. I respect Dumbledore and all that he has accomplished for our world but he is now a headmaster and has no business meddling in the Ministry. It's best if he focuses on the school it's education and safety. There had been a Dragon on the grounds, a troll managed to get into the castle and even our son was in the Hospital Wing after ingesting 'Draught of the Living Dead'. The school needs to be looked after the ministry needs to be run by a fresh pair of hands and fresh eyes to root out the corruption."
"Fine when you put it that way but it should be a wizard running for office. I like Amelia I do, but she would be over her head. She should have married years ago so her niece would have had a better up bringing. If Amelia had put more of an effort in raising Susan, then the girl wouldn't have befriended the Malfoy boy. There is a darkness that surrounds him and he will turn all those around him." Molly turned to her husband waving her spoon to prove her point.
"That's a lie." Fred snapped.
"You don't even know him." George protested. The twins had come in quietly listening as their mum continued to rant.
"So Ron was right, you befriended the dark wizard." Molly glared at her sons. "Have you taken leave of your senses?"
"No, but he's twelve, hardly old enough to be a dark wizard." George explained.
"Since he has started school all he does is study and chat with us and our other friends."
Fred continued.
"There you have it they are friends with a fellow student it matters not what his sir name is. I always thought the Blood feud between our families was ridiculous. No one even remembers what happen to cause it. It was Lucius that kept it going, so I am glad his son has decided to end it." Arthur gave his boys his support.
"He has ended it but we doubt Lord Malfoy think it has ended." Fred replied seriously.
"You boys should stay away from that dark boy. A Family as Dark as the Malfoys can never be on the side of the light." Molly said.
"Well Mum, the little Malfoy is not as dark as you and Ron think him to be." George shot back. "Besides he didn't try and kidnap Haraldr Lokison."
"What?! Molly tell me what George just said isn't true." Arthur paled.
"It's not like it sounds Dear. Albus suggested that I talk to the boy and tell him more about his parents and how he should come home with us and see how a proper wizarding family really was. We need to show him that the Muggles he was with is lying to him." Molly Said quickly. "But when we got there, these strangely dressed Muggles were waiting on the Platform. They were dangerous looking so I kept my distance I had to protect Ginny. I was prepared to grab the children as soon as they got off the train because the Metal Man kept pointing at the train. Then before I could get close enough Harry Potter walked up to them with no fear and hugged the tall man with powerful magic coming off in waves and looked up to the Metal Man with a smile. The feel of Magic and the sight of that metal man had me Frozen where I stood. I failed to protect Harry Potter and he left to Merlin knows where with those dangerous beings. Our Symbol of the Light is in danger."
"Those were his parents Mum." Fred rolled his eyes.
"And the rest were his Aunts and Uncles." George pointed out.
"They were there to protect Haraldr."
"The Headmaster tried to pull the same stunt at winter break."
"Oh and how would you two know anything? Also the boy's name is Harry Potter."
"Haraldr Lokison told us what happened when he returned from break."
"His Parents are Prince Loki of Asgard and Tony Stark."
"Just ask the Goblins." The twins chorused.
"You can't trust those creatures. They would do anything for gold. James and Lily are probably rolling in their graves, knowing their son is not fulfilling his destiny." Molly bemoaned and all three wizards rolled their eyes at her dramatics.
"Molly, I love you but you have to choose." Arthur stood up and stood by his boys. "It's either me or the Headmaster. I will no have you listening to that man and chasing after a boy who by all accounts is in a happy family."
"But Arthur, you don't know that they are treating him right."
"And you don't know that they are not. Fred and George do. So Molly I ask you again to choose. The order is not longer in existence so he is not our leader. Albus Dumbledore is the children's headmaster and nothing more to this family."
"Arthur, I am just trying to what's right."
"What's right is leaving Lokison alone and supporting those asking for change. If you can't see that then you are not woman I married."
Molly was speechless. She never expected Arthur to turn on her like this. How could he not see they should follow Dumbledore he was the embodiment of everything that is good and that with his leadership they would always be on the side of good. She had a choice to make. The Light or her family. She couldn't abandon her family especially now when the forces of Darkness were gathering around them but without Dumbledore how would they survive. The extra money he had been giving her was to help Ginny attract the Potter boy she couldn't be seen in rags. If she chose the Light than she would lose her family because Arthur would dissolve their bonding and she would be left with nothing and Ginny would be the one to suffer the most without her guidance.
"I choose you and our family Arthur." She would do what was best for her daughter.
"Thank you Molly. You'll see that this is what is best for our family." Arthur hugged his wife relieved that she was finally coming to her senses. "Come on boys let's go wash up for dinner."
"Sure Dad." The twins followed allowing their mother to get back to cooking but they knew this was not over. She never gave in with out a reason. They would have to wait and watch. No matter what they would protect their Prince and their friends.

"Welcome Home Prince Thor, Prince Loki, and Prince Haraldr. Welcome to Asgard Hero Stark, Man of Iron." Heimdall greeted.
"It's good to be Home, thank you Heimdall." Thor smiled. Loki just nodded his greeting with Harry and Tony gave a wave. "Is Mother and Father in the palace?"
"The All Father is in the Throne Room dealing with the affairs of state. Your Mother is in the family Quarters preparing for your arrival."
"That is good to hear, thank you. Come everyone, the carriage awaits." Thor led the others to the giant horse drawn carriage. Thor and Loki carried the travel trunks and loaded them on the back of the carriage. Harry and Tony entered the carriage and waited for the gods to join them. Soon the party was off to the palace; Loki sat stiffly as they rode along the Rainbow Bridge. He really did not want to be in Asgard because he was still hated by most of the Aesir. He didn't want that hate to be passed on to his son.
"You okay, Reindeer Games?"
"I'm fine Anthony, just not looking forward to this visit. I know this is important to mother and Hela so I will push my unease aside." Loki muttered not wanting his son to hear him.
"Loki, I promise to not let them disrespect you again." Thor said seriously. Loki gave his brother a strained smile because he knew his brother would try to do as he promised but there was no guarantee he would be able to fend off the insults from everyone especially the Warrior Three and Lady Sif. The carriage pulled to a stop in front of the Palace.
"My Boys! My Boys are home." Frigga said as she almost ran down the palace steps.
"Mother! It is good to see you." Thor's voice boomed. He swoop their petite mother up in his strong arms and whirled her around. Harry laughed at the two and Loki rolled his eyes. Frigga hugged the others once Thor had let her go.
"I am so glad you all are here. I have had your rooms aired out and readied for you; also we have a feast planned for tonight. Then there is much planning to do for wedding." The Queen mother smiled looping her arm through Loki's.
"As you wish Mother."
"Brother Tony, after you are settled, you should come with me to the training fields."
"We'll see Sparkles I think Loki might need my help with the wedding plans." Tony said not wanting to get the shit kicked out of him. He brought his Iron Man Suit but he only brought one he didn't want the Asgardians to destroy it leaving him defenseless. The group made their way down the long halls to the family wing where all the chambers were.
"Well here we are. Loki my child, please come find me when you are finished resting." Frigga kissed the cheek of her youngest child and glided off.
"How does she do that? It's like she's floating on air." Tony asked in awe.
"My mother has the gift of Magic, Stark; it surrounds her and everything she does." Loki smiled softly.
"Father, Dad, I'm going to take a nap. I didn't get much sleep last night." Harry signed before he disappeared in his own room leaving the grown ups in the hall.
"Harry's still not sleeping?" Tony asked looking at their son's closed door.
"I'm afraid not. Since the Man of Winter left on a mission, twice Haraldr has gotten up and wandered our floor. I tried talking with him last night but he would not talk about why he was upset only to give me a vague answer that he missed 'Bucky'." Thor sighed feeling that he failed to help his young nephew.
"It is to be expected. Haraldr and Barnes have a bond and will always be close." Loki agreed trying to squash the jealousy in his heart.
"They went through something that none of us can relate to, so yeah they will always close. That doesn't mean he loves us any less; it just means we got to give Harry space until he's comfortable to talk with us about it. We've only known our little Hare-Bear for two years where as Frosty has known him for seven even if they were separated for two of those years. We need to be patient with our boy." Tony said quietly knowing that both brothers were upset with what was going on with their little wizarding god.
"You are right, Anthony, yet again." Loki sighed then stomped his foot in frustration before entering their chambers. "I hate when you're right you will be smug for days I will get no peace. Just for that you are sleeping on the floor."
"What? No! Come on Bambi! The floor hurts my back." Tony whined following his fiancé into their rooms leaving a laughing Thunder God in the hallway.

"This is where, your Father and I trained as boys." Thor said as he led Harry through the warrior's training grounds. The passed three days Thor and Loki had been showing Harry around Asgard. Today Thor was show him the grounds around the palace.
"Thor it is good to see you; we thought you would be gone for many a moon." A booming voice called out.
"Volstagg! It is good to see you Friend." Thor smiled clasping the huge mountain of a man's forearm in greetings. "Haraldr this Volstagg the Victorious one of the Warrior Three we grew up together. Volstagg this is my Brother's son, Haraldr, the God of Mortal Souls."
"So what Sif said was true your brother had child on Midgard with a Mortal. Welcome Haraldr to Asgard."
"Greetings Volstagg." Harry thought. Being on Asgard he was able to use the mind stone freely.
"Mind Magic, you are definitely the son of Loki. Do you use the blade you carry or is it just for show?" Volstagg questioned pointing to the sword on the prince's back.
"I use it quite well." Harry glared.
"Volstagg, are you so bored that you pick on a child?" a tall blond warrior asked as he and dark haired warrior joined them.
"Greetings Fandral, Hogun." Thor greeted though he was glaring at the redheaded man before him. "Haraldr, these are the other members of the Warriors three. Fandral the Dashing and Hogun the Grim, Warriors, this is my Nephew, Haraldr God of Midgard Souls."
"Yes lads meet Loki's son." Volstagg sneered.
"Then this is an honor." Fandral smiled and greeted the young prince. He always was kind to Loki when they were children because he saw how the prince was treated compared to Thor.
"When did Loki have a child?" Hogun asked. He was never one to pay attention to things out side of battle. "Last I heard he lives on Midgard."
"Forgive him Prince Haraldr, Hogun has taken one too many hits to the head. He's practically useless outside of battle. So is this your first trip to Asgard?" Fandral asked.
"No this is my second trip. My first trip was short and I could not explore the lands. It is nice to meet you." Harry replied. He liked the blond warrior he was kind like his uncle Thor.
"Let's not let these grounds go to waste. Thor let's show the lad how a warrior trains. I'm sure he doesn't see that with all the magic nonsense I'm sure Loki is teaching him." Volstagg cut in.
"Watch what you say Volstagg. My brother is a strong warrior with the powerful gift of magic. I have seen it in action and it takes real knowledge to wield it or you can die." Thor defended, for the first time he was really seeing how others saw his brother. "Haraldr why don't you go sit with Fandral over on the benches, that is a safe distance and you can watch how Aesir train."
"Yes, this will be a good show young Prince." Fandral smiled guiding Harry the bench followed by Hogun.
They saw Thor take off his cape and set Mjolnir down away from the field. He picked up a sword and shield and entered the training circle. The two warriors circled one another sizing each other up. It had been a long time since they sparred on the training grounds of Asgard. Volstagg made first move swinging his axe down on Thor's shield. Then Thor pushed him off and swung his sword hard at the mountain of a man. The armor protected the warrior from a serious injury but he would be bruised after this.
As Harry watched he notice that this fighting style was not like his father's and Godfather's spar. When his father and Godfather dueled it was like watching a graceful and beautiful, yet deadly dance. This was a battle of brute strength. There was no finesse as his uncle and the redheaded man battled. They were trying to beat one another down with their muscles and weapons. If Thor had use Mjolnir than it would have been an easy win but he wanted it to be a fair fight. Harry then saw a move that he had seen his father do many times when sparring his uncle. Thor crouched low and hooked his foot under Volstagg's before kicking it up. He sent the warrior flying backwards landing face in the mud. By the time he rolled over Thor had his sword at the man's throat.
"Do you yield?"
"Aye I do." Volstagg panted. The Crown Prince released his friend and helped him to his feet. "What was that moved that you just did? I have never seen you do a move like that before."
"I learned it from my Brother. Loki is very skilled in hand to hand combat." smirked Thor watching blood drain from his friend's face.
"Well done Thor! That was a beautiful defeat!" Fandral cheered.
"That was awesome Uncle Thor!" Harry smiled so wide, Thor's heart swelled in his chest.
"Yes another victory for the Crown Prince of Asgard." A soft voice called out slowly clapping as they got closer.
"Ah Sif you have returned from patrol." Fandral said flatly.
"Yes, just this morning." Sif glared then her eyes landed on the child. He was of Loki's blood there was no doubt the filthy Jotun. "It's been a long six months. How fortunate I have return when our Future King is among us."
"It will be some time before I am King. Lady Sif come meet my Nephew Haraldr the God of Mortal Souls." Thor didn't like the look Sif was giving Harry. He had always known that Sif never like Loki when they were children but he could never figure out why. But the way she looks at Harry it was the same look she gave his brother. It was like she knew something that the others didn't. It was then that a thought hit his brain that made everything really clear. Sif had always known of Loki Jotun Blood. Not just when Loki outed himself when he had argued in the Throne room with the All Father, but when they were children she had known. They only way she could have known was if her father had told her. Sif's father was one of the warriors that fought with the All father that day against the Jotun. That was why she hated his brother and never saw him as part of the royal family. Her father hated the Jotun with a passion and he had passed that hate on to his daughter.
"So this is the half mortal child. I am surprised that the All Father has let him into Asgard." Sif step closer, Harry could feel the pure hate upon him. He was sorely tempted to use the mind stone on her but then he would be no better than Dumbldore who uses mind manipulation through his words.
"My Grandfather has made peace with my Father. We are visiting Asgard as we plan my Father's bonding to one of Midgard's Mighty Heroes named Iron Man." Harry's eyes narrowed when he saw Sif's jaw clenched. Someone was Jealous of the wedding bells.
"How nice for Prince Loki." Thor couldn't believe how he never heard the distain in Sif's voice when referring to Loki by title. She hated that Loki was Prince of Asgard. It explained a lot her behavior when they were growing up. Her and Volstagg never like his brother much when they were children only Sif seem to take it a step farther with snide comments and some how forgetting the younger prince when they left for battle or adventures.
"Yes, my brother has found his place on Midgard and someone to share that life with. They Make Haraldr excellent Parents and are raising him to be a fine Prince of Asgard." Thor smiled placing a hand on the boy's shoulder but he saw Sif's eyes narrow at the gesture. It looked like she seriously wanted to do the child harm.
"Really? Is he trained for battle? I hear the Midgardians are soft and never train their children until they are out of adolescences."
"I am trained Sif. I would not be a worthy Prince if I was not." Harry answered before his uncle could. He knew what the woman wanted it was written all over her face.
"That is Lady Sif to you. You are but a child and need to be taught respect."
"Now Sif, the boy is only replying to your query." Fandral tried to step between the two but was pushed aside by Volstagg.
"Sif is right a Child under hundred summers should show respect to their betters."
"I show respect to those who have earned it. She maybe my elder but she is not my better." Harry stepped closer to Sif glaring up at her with pure hatred.
"You have quite the mouth on you. Let's see if you can back up that mouth. If I win I claim the sword you carry. A child should not carry a blade unless they can wield it properly."
"Sif you go too far. Haraldr is a specially trained child and it would not do well for you to challenge him. Further more you are challenging a Prince of the Royal Family, should you lose the All Father will take this act as a sign of treason." Thro interjected. He did not know how a simple trip to the training grounds turned into beginnings of a war between his nephew and the captain of the guards.
"Oh Thor, you make a big deal out of a little training exercise. I'm sure it will go very quickly so long as he doesn't use magic to cheat." Sif said snidely.
"That's all magic is to you because you are not strong enough to wield it. You are a small minded person who is jealous of my Father and the bond he has with magic and my Uncle. I warn you now Sif I maybe be only twelve but I have been trained by the best and worst Midgard has to offer. If you dare to continue this challenge it will be you who is facing Asgardian Justice." Harry shook off his uncle's grip and unsheathed his sword.
"The Choice is yours Sif. I have tried to end this peacefully but you have angered the House of Odin. I stand by my nephew and his skills; he will bring honor to our house and his father." Thor was done being the peacekeeper. Sif just wouldn't let go of her hatred or her jealousy. She was determined to take it out on a child because she could not take it out on Loki.
"I do not fear a child." Sif sneered as she turned to battle circle.
"Good Luck, Haraldr, I know you will do well." Thor smiled at his nephew watching as the boy entered the circle.
Harry could feel the hate rolling off the woman before him. They circled one another looking for weak point in their opponent. He could see that the captain was so self assured that she did not see the determination in his eyes or the ice shield that formed on his arm. She twirled her Sword spear trying to distract the boy before bringing it down on him with her full strength. If the child dies, oh well, one less filthy Jotun in the world.
The sword was stopped by a strong solid force. Sif's eyes widened at the ice shield and that Harry was blocking her strength with little effort. Pushing the sword up and away with his shield then kicked her hard in the midsection throwing her back a few feet causing her to lose her sword. He let the shield become snow and gripped his sword with both hands and took a familiar stance that only Thor recognized. It was the stance he hadn't seen since he was a child. I t seemed that his mother had been one of Haraldr many teachers. Sif Attacked with drawn daggers from her belt and Harry counter with a sword strike as a distraction whirling his body around to strike and hit with an ice dagger. Since he did not want to kill the Asgardian Captain he let the ice blade be weak enough to shatter on the woman's armor. The force of the hit was enough to score a point and push Sif away. This made her angry and madness was slipping into her eyes.
"If you strike you have to go in for the kill." Sif hissed as she ran forward picking up her sword and rolling to up strike with the sharp blade aimed at the boy's midsection. Her eyes widen as Harry had flipped forward at the same time she had and brought down his Sword on her sword spear snapping it in half send a blast of cold out in a mile radius. Sif stood and threw the broke weapon away and drew her Daggers again. Harry raised an eyebrow at the move and the sheathed sword before removing it from his back and tossing it to his Uncle.
"The battle is over." Thor sighed as he caught the sword. He watched as the boy's arms iced over with sharp ice blades. A weapon that he developed with Hela called the Frozen Gauntlets of Death. Hela's title for them as Harry just called them Ice Gauntlets. "Haraldr is now taking this battle more serious. She will be luck if he doesn't cripple her."
"If you are so sure of the boy's skill why do you think he will not just kill her?" Hogun asked.
"My nephew is a skilled warrior but he does not have the heart of one. He fights out of necessity and survival and would rather disable his opponent than kill them." Thor said sadly. Harry had such a gentle heart; Thor hated that it was always tested by others that doubted his worth.
"Showing your true colors; why not show us your real face Filthy Jotun." Sif spat. Thor was on his feet about to interfere but Harry held up a hand in a stop motion.
He knew this had been coming and he was ready. He would defend his father and his blood. Yes Jotun were strong warriors that had a thirst for battle but then so did the Aesir. The Jotun had been led by an evil King that sought to destroy all the realms because of his jealousy and using his peoples suffering for his excuse to invade Midgard all those years ago. No one ever bothered to learn the real history of the Battle of Tonsberg. After his first Christmas Harry asked Frigga to send him all the books she could find on Jotunheim and Asgard History because he wanted the truth not the fairy tale given to the children of Asgard. Jotunheim was now in a state of recovery with the death of the tyrant king and the rise of his father's biological brother who had assumed the throne and was working to heal the people and their realm.
"You want my True face, than you shall see it." Harry could feel the pressure of his HYDRA Mode on edge to Activation but he pushed it back because he needed a clear head. He would not give Sif the satisfaction of seeing him uncontrolled and a beast that she thought all Jotun were. He closed his eyes and allowed the cold from within spread and the atmosphere around the boy dropped in temperature. When he opened his eyes were blood red. He ignored the surprised gasps of the warrior Three and the sad look of his uncle and focused on his opponent. "Sif you have dared to insult the blood of your Prince and the House of Odin. I stand before you to defend my father and our House."
"I, Thor Crown Prince of Asgard acknowledge the challenge given by the Lady Sif Captain of the Royal Guard and accepted by Prince Haraldr of the Royal House of Odin." Thor stood Summoning Mjolnir to his hand and Striking it on the ground sealing the formal challenge an lightning filled the sky, within seconds Loki, Hela, Frigga, and Odin Appeared at his side.
"Thor what is going on?!" Loki demanded surprised to see his son in a battle circle and in his Jotun form.
"A challenge has been made against our House and Haraldr has accepted." Thor said thickly.
"Why, am I not surprised that it is Sif." Hela sneered. She had been in her realm over seeing souls trying to clear up some time to spend it with Haraldr and Loki in Asgard when Thor's Magic pulled her to his side. She was shocked as the others to see her beloved Nephew in the Battle Circle though she did not show it. She had faith that he would take care of this challenge but he should not have had to. Sif had over stepped for the last time.
"Is this true Lady Sif you Challenge a member of my house, my Grandson, to battle?" Odin asked grimly.
"Yes, I have. I believe that This Jotun is a false God as is his Father." Sif said stiffly glaring at Loki.
"So you have always known of my Blood; it was not news to you when I declared my blood in the throne room." Loki said through gritted teeth.
"Yes! You should have been killed as an infant not infecting the Royal Family with your monstrous blood." Sif yelled. Everyone was silent at her words. The Warrior Three were shocked that their long time friend had held such hatred for Loki. They always were hard on the young prince because they though he didn't try hard enough to be a true warrior. They didn't know he was Jotun.
"So be it. Challenge has been accepted by our house let the Fates decide the truth." Odin stated his Staff hitting the ground and surrounding them all with his magic. There would be not outside interference it was now a fight between Harry and Sif.
"Can you feel it brother?" Thor asked quietly.
"Yes, he is dangerously close to losing himself in the battle frame of mind." Loki watched the two begun to circle on another. "When this is over I will take him back to Midgard. He will need to be somewhere he feels safe and familiar."
"I will follow after her trial." Thor agreed.
Sif then sudden ran forward Slashing at the young god. But each blow was met with a counter strike. Harry dropped and swung out his leg and knocked the warrior down who rolled out of the way of his down strike. Harry did a one handed cart wheel out of the way of the kick aimed at his face.
"Loki!" a voice called out and the god turned to see his lover landing next him. "What the hell happen? One moment we're with your mom picking the dinner menu and the next you both disappeared."
"Thor had summoned us. A formal challenge had been made against our family and Haraldr has accepted." Tony had to strain to hear the soft spoken words but even if he didn't he saw his son fighting for his life.
Harry let Sif hit his face so she would be close enough to strike with his gauntlet. His blade sliced through her armor freezing it and the armor around the hit making it brittle. Once it was weakened Harry kicked the spot hard hearing her bone crack. The agile little god flipped over Sif and brought his gauntlet down her leg and everyone heard the bone snapped.
"NO!" She screamed out in pain. She lost the was no denying it as she couldn't stand and could barely breath.
"Do you yield?" Harry asked he was out of breath and his sanity hang by a very fragile thread.
"I yield, you monster." Sif spat unable to move from her spot on the ground.
"The Challenge has been met. The Victor is Prince Haraldr of the House of Odin." Odin declared and hit his staff on the ground releasing all from his spell. Once free to move Loki ran forward and placed his son under a sleep spell.
"Anthony take us to the Bi-Frost we must return home now!"
"Hold tight Reindeer Games." Tony gathered his two ravens in his arms and flew them out of there.
"Sif of the House of Stagrauth I strip you of your title and position of Captain of the Royal Guard. Your defeat is proof of your treason against Asgard. Once you are healed you will stand trial. Warriors Three take her to the healer." Odin declared before turning his back on them. He held out his hand to Frigga who took it solemnly, and then king and queen left for the palace in a golden light.
"I am only slightly disappoint Haraldr didn't finish you." Hela sneered standing over the disgraced woman.
"Hela," Thor warned. "Sif do you have any last words?"
"Yes, Why? Why do you both accept a Jotun as your own? They have killed and murder hundreds of our kind and have destroyed much of Midgard. They are Monsters that must be slain."
"We have only seen the brother that we grew up with and the strong Mage that fights by our side. Aesir or Juton blood matters not his love for us and ours for him is all that matters." Hela answered.
"My brother has never done any thing to you Sif. He has only ever wanted acceptance. Each being must be judged by their own actions not the actions of other." Thor said with conviction.
"Well said Brother. You shall be a great king yet. I must go the souls are probably backed up in Holding. I trust you have things in hand here." The goddess of Death then disappeared in a cloud of Green smoke.
"This is good bye Sif. Fandral, Hogun, Volstagg take the Prisoner away." Thor ordered turning his back on his former friend. This was a day he would mourn for a long time to come.
A/N: Ok First I would like to thank inuyasha16451 for the virtual Pizzas the Bunnies loved them and actually let me sleep. Unfortunately it also inspired them. They took me off the story briefly to have me Draw them out. The Bunnies had me working all day on it hand had me change my Profile picture with it. If you can't see it that well then you can view it On Deviant Art Hash tag Plot Bunnies or my username SukoraNight or on Tumblr SukorKurai Hashtag Plot Bunnies. They were real proud of the work they made me do. Anyways this chapter was one I wanted to do for a while but it was also the hardest to write. I have never been that great at writing fight scenes. I can see it so clearly in my head but I have a hard time finding the right words to what I see. So I hopr the battle wasn't to cringe worthy. Thanks for Reading, Keep Reviewing. Plot Bunnies need food!
P.S. This is the eighth Chapter in one Month a NEW RECORD! *Does the Bunny Hop*
