Chapter 2: Worst Coronation Ever
Hey everyone I'm back and wow I'm happy to see how many people are enjoying this. Anyway I have characters from other shows in this as well, but don't worry they'll fit into this story. This takes place after episode 1 of WITCH just so you know. Please Review and Enjoy.
It had been 13 years since Thor had named Neo his son and since then the boy had become a favorite among Asgard.
In a large chamber Loki was sound asleep in his bed when the door opened softly to reveal a 14 year old teenage boy with short blonde hair, green eyes, a blue and silver Asgardian armor, strapped to his left arm was a small round shield and attached to his side was beautiful silver sword with a hammer carved into the blue handle.
Moving closer to the bed the boy reached into his bag and pulled out a pepper. Grinning he makes his way to Loki's bed as he slept when Loki opened his mouth to yawn the boy was about to make his move when pepper went right through Loki's body.
"Uh oh." He said when coming up from behind him Loki swings his daggers causing the boy to raise his shield and block the attack.
Drawing his sword, the two of them engage with sparks flying as they clashed weapons. As he swings his sword Loki jumps off his bed and grabs the pepper the boy was about to use on him and flicks it causing it to go down the boy's mouth causing him to gasp.
"Hot. Hot! Hot! Hot!" He yelled as he ran to grab a pitcher of water and dumped the contents down on him as he drank as much as he could causing Loki to chuckle.
"Sorry Neo, you'll have to do better than that to get the jump on me." Loki smirks.
"How'd you know I was coming?" Neo asks taking one more gulp of water.
"I heard you coming, although I'll admit this was a fun way to wake up." Loki said handing Neo a glass.
"So Uncle Loki, today's the big day. You excited?" Neo asks before downing it.
"My brother becomes King and my nephew becomes Prince, what's in it for me?" Loki asks.
"Well…you know dad's gonna need help and so will I." Neo said trying to make him feel better.
"Oh don't worry about me Neo. Thor will be a great king and you will be an amazing Prince." Loki said as they walked out of his room.
"I hope so, you and Dad certainly left some big shoes to fill." Neo said.
"Speaking of which where is your father?" Loki asks.
"Grandpa's giving Dad one more lecture on his coronation." Neo said.
"It's quite a big deal. Still I think I could make a better king than Thor." Loki said.
"Watch it Uncle Loki, dad might hear you." Neo smirks as Loki ruffles his hair.
"That is why you're my favorite nephew." Loki smirks.
"I'm your only nephew." Neo chuckles when a man with spiky black hair, a goatee, and white padded Armor walked up to them. This was Johan, Neo's combat trainer.
"Your majesty, it's time for your training." Johan said.
"Are you kidding me? It's my dad's coronation day. Can't I get at least one day off?" Neo whines.
"No, your majesty, let's go. The others are waiting." Johan said grabbing Neo by his armor.
"See you at the coronation Uncle Loki." Neo said waving goodbye.
As Loki waves goodbye he couldn't help but smirk. "Oh don't worry nephew, it's going to be quite an event."
In the Asgard Arena, Neo arrives to see his three closest friends training. One was a girl with blonde hair in a ponytail with blue armor and an axe, one was girl with long black hair, silver and brown armor and a double sides axe staff and a girl wearing green armor, with pointed ears, white hair and two twin blades. These were Astrid Hofferson, Heather Berserker and Rayla of Svartelheim, Neo's best friends and training partners.
"Well look who finally decided to show up." Rayla said as Neo and Johan walked in.
"Nice to see you remembered practice your majesty." Astrid chuckles as she pretends to bow.
"Guys my dad is the one everyone's celebrating not me." Neo said.
"Alright, alright you kids have time to talk you have time to train. Now give me 10 laps around the arena!" Johan said as they dropped their weapons and started running.
"You guys are coming to the coronation, right?" Neo asks.
"We wouldn't miss it for the world." Heather said as Rayla ran in front of all of them.
"Catch me if you can slow pokes." Rayla smirks.
"Oh it is on." Astrid said as she ran past Neo and Heather to try and catch up to Rayla.
"Those two are way too competitive." Heather pants.
"No kidding." Neo said as they struggled to catch up.
After their laps Neo was facing Astrid in a practice fight. Clashing axe and sword both struggle to get the upper hand.
"Come on! Is that it? The future of Asgard will depend on how fight your enemies." Johan said as Astrid pushes Neo backwards and bangs her axe against his shield knocking him to the ground. Astrid jumps at him, but Neo rolls out of the way at the last second.
Swinging his sword Neo knocks Astrid backwards before keeping up the attacks. Delivering a powerful slash Astrid quickly blocks it with her axe as Neo applies pressure pushing her towards the ground.
The two of them were in a lock until Astrid moves her axe to the side causing Neo to fall with it allowing her to knee him in the face and then kick him in the gut knocking him to the ground.
When Neo opens his eyes, he sees Astrid's axe inches from his face. "Looks like I win again." Astrid smirks.
"Aw man." Neo said picking himself up and Astrid punches his shoulder. "Do you have to do that all the time?" Neo asks rubbing his shoulder.
"Are you ever gonna stop whining?" Astrid smirks.
As Heather and Rayla faced off in their match Neo sat down to watch when he noticed Thor waving to him from down the hallway.
Silently sneaking past Johan while he was distracted Neo ran over to his father.
"Good job son, you almost had her." Thor said patting him on the back.
"Really because my face begs to differ." Neo said rubbing his forehead causing Thor to chuckle. "I wish it was you training me."
"Neo don't be like that; Johan is the best for a reason. You'll get there, you're still learning." Thor said.
"What are you doing here? You're supposed to be getting ready for your coronation." Neo asks.
"What? Can't a father sneak away to see his son before his big day?" Thor smiles.
"Thanks father." Neo said when he heard Johan calling for him. "Gotta go, see you back at the palace." As he runs back to his friends Thor couldn't help but feel pride seeing how well his son has turned out.
Later that day at Thor's coronation, Neo, Frigga, and Loki were lined up to Odin's right and Lady Sif and the Warriors Three were on Odin's left as Thor entered the hall causing all the citizens of Asgard to cheer as their new king approached Odin's throne.
Taking a knee Thor took of his helmet and sent his son a wink causing Neo to smile before Odin banged his spear against the ground causing everyone to be silent.
"Thor Odinson, my heir, my firstborn, entrusted with the mighty hammer Mjolnir. Forged in the heart of a dying star its power has no equal as a weapon to destroy or as a tool to build. It is a fit companion for a king." Odin said as he started his speech.
Meanwhile in the Odin's weapon vault, two guards were making sure no intruders had entered, but what they didn't know was that three Frost Giants had managed to sneak in.
"Do you swear to protect the 9 Realms?" Odin asks.
"I swear." Thor said.
"And do you swear to preserve the peace?" Odin asks.
"I swear." Thor said.
"Do you swear to cast aside all selfish ambition and to pledge yourself to the good of the realm?"
"I swear!" Thor smiles raising his hammer.
"And on this day, I Odin Allfather proclaim you...frost giants." Odin said causing the coronation to stop.
In the vault the Frost Giants killed the guards and made their way towards the Casket of Ancient Winters. But as they tried to escape Odin summoned the Destroyer and true to its name it destroyed the three Frost Giants with ease.
Entering the room Odin, Thor, Loki and Neo arrived to see the three dead Frost Giants and the two guards.
"The Johtuns must pay." Thor said.
"They have paid, the Destroyer did its work, the casket is safe, all is well." Odin said.
"But Grandpa if they had stolen even one of these weapons." Neo said.
"But they didn't." Odin stops him.
"Well I want to know why." Thor said.
"I have a treaty with Laufey, King of the Johtuns." Odin explains.
"He just broke your treaty. They know you are vulnerable." Thor said.
"What would you suggest we do?" Odin asks.
"March into Joutenheim as you once did and show them why they should never dare cross our borders again." Thor said.
"You speak only as a warrior." Odin said.
"This was an act of war." Thor clarifies.
"This was the act of a few doomed to fail." Odin said.
"Look how far they got!" Thor said.
"We will find the breach in our defenses and we will seal it." Odin said.
"As King of Asgard—"
"But you're not King!" Odin snaps. "Not yet." Odin walks past them and exits the chamber.
Back in the palace Thor flips over a table of food in anger. Growling in anger Thor paces around the room until Neo and Loki walk in.
"Son it is unwise to be in my presence at this time. That goes for you too brother." Thor said as they sat down next to him. "This was supposed to be my day of triumph."
"Don't worry father, you'll be king someday. I know you will." Neo said trying to calm his father down.
"What is this?" Looking to the entrance they saw Lady Sif and the Warrior's Three enter.
"If it means anything I think you're right, Thor whose to say they won't try this again, but next time with an army." Loki said.
"Exactly." Thor said.
"But father, grandpa said no." Neo said when a look appears on Thor's face.
"I know that look." Loki said horrified. "Thor no, you have a son you can't keep doing things like this."
"Neo will be fine." Thor said standing up.
"What's going on?" Volstagg asks.
"And what about me?" Neo asks.
"We're going to Jotunheim." Thor declares.
"This isn't like Earth where you summon a little thunder and lighting and they treat you like a god." Fandrall said.
"My father stormed his way into Joutenheim, took their casket and struck fear into their hearts, we would just be looking for answers." Thor said.
"It's forbidden." Sif said.
"My friends, how often have I led you all into battle? Tonight, we ride to Jotunheim." Thor said as he, Loki, Sif, Thandrall, Hogun and Volstagg made their way to the horses with Neo right behind them.
"Father I really don't know about this." Neo said.
"Don't worry son I'll be back, no Frost Giant is going to get the better of me. I'll be back before you know it." Thor said riffling his hair.
As they climbed on the horses and left for the Bifrost, Neo pauses to question his father's motives when Loki walks up next to him.
"Run to father as fast as you can." Loki whispers before climbing onto his horse and followed the others.
Neo paused for a few seconds before turning around and running as fast as he could. "GRANDPA!"
Meanwhile in Jotuenheim, when Thor met with Laufey to ask how the Frost Giants got in Laufey explained there's a spy in the house of Odin. Letting his anger get the best of him Thor attacked the Frost Giants and during the battle Fandrall got severely wounded.
As Loki, Hogun, Volstagga and Sif were running for their lives while carrying Fandrall Thor was taking out Frost Giants left and right.
"Heimdall! Open the bridge!" Loki yells as they reached the edge of a high cliff with a large monster blocking them.
Looking over Thor saw them all in trouble. Spinning his hammer Thor launches himself into the air and through the ice monster killing it instantly.
Feeling victorious Thor turns around only to see they were all surrounded. Just as they were about to attack the Bifrost opens and Odin appears with Gungnir in hand on his horse.
"Father! Let's finish this together!" Thor said eager.
"Silence." Odin whispers as Laufey walks up to him.
"Allfather, you look weary. Your boy sought this out." Laufey said.
"You're right, these are the actions of a boy. Treat them as such. Let's end this now before anymore further bloodshed." Odin said.
"We are beyond diplomacy Allfather. He'll get what he came for, War and Death." Laufey said.
"So be it." Odin said.
Laufey creates an ice dagger but Odin raises his spear opening the Bifrost and blowing Laufey away as it transports them all back to Asgard where Neo was waiting for them.
"Why did you bring us back?" Thor asks.
"Do you realize what you've done? What you've started?" Odin asks.
"I was protecting the kingdom!" Thor said.
"You can't even protect your friends let alone protect the kingdom! Take him to a healer!" Odin orders as Sif, Hogun and Volstagg carried Fandrall out. "If Neo didn't come to me who knows what could have happened."
"Neo?" Thor said turning to his son in rage. Storming over to him Thor grabs Neo's arm. "How could you betray in such a way?"
"Father it hurts." Neo flinches as Thor squeezed his arm.
"Why? Why would you do such a thing?!" Thor asks demanding an answer when Odin walks over and rips Thor off Neo.
"Don't take your anger out on your son Thor! He made the right choice coming to me! He wanted to save you and luckily I was able to before Neo became fatherless!" Odin snaps.
"The Johtuns must fear me just as they feared you long ago." Thor said.
"You've forgotten everything I've taught you about a warrior's patience." Odin said.
"While you wait and be patient the Nine Realms laugh at us. The old days are done, you'd stand giving speeches while Asgard falls." Thor mocks.
"You are vain, greedy, cruel boy!" Odin yells.
"And you are an old man and a fool!" Thor yells back.
"Yes. I was a fool…to think you were ready." Odin sighs.
"Father." Loki said walking towards them but Odin snaps telling Loki to step back.
"Neo, I'm sorry for what I am about to do." Odin said looking at his grandson. "Thor Odinson, you have betrayed the command of your king. Through your arrogance and stupidity, you have opened these gates and the innocent lives including that of your son to the horror and desolation of war!" Odin slams his spear into the Bifrost activating it. "You are unworthy of these realms! Unworthy of your title! You are unworthy of the loved ones you have betrayed."
Neo watched in horror as a portal opens behind Thor as Odin takes his hammer. "I now take from you your power in the name of my father and his father before him. I, Odin Allfather cast you out!" Odin yells blasting Thor through the portal.
"NO!" Neo yells in horror. "Dad!" Neo runs to the portal, but Loki grabs him.
"Neo no! You can't get involved!" Loki said trying to hold onto him.
"For he who should hold this hammer should he be worthy will posses the power of Thor." Odin said throwing Mjlonir through the portal.
Breaking out of Loki's hold Neo runs as fast as he could to the portal and jumps through it.
"Neo!" Odin gasps as his grandson disappeared along with his son.
Meanwhile in the town of Heatherfield, rain was coming down harshly as a girl with medium length red hair was sitting in the car with her mom as they tried to get him. This was Will Vandom.
"Geez, this storm came out of nowhere." Will's Mom Susan said trying to see through the window.
Reaching into her pocket Will pulls out a pink necklace, this was the Heart of Kandrakar. Today she and her new friends Irma, Taranee, Cornelia and Hay Lin had discovered they were the new guardians of the veil and Will was overwhelmed by all this as she put the Heart back in her pocket.
Suddenly a bright light emitted from the sky as the rain around the car turned into a storm.
"Mom? What's going on?" Will asks slightly afraid when suddenly the car smashed into two figures startling them.
Running out Susan saw a Thor and Neo laying on the ground in pain.
"Oh my goodness are you two okay?" Susan asks she checked on Thor and Will looked at Neo.
"Do me a favor and don't be dead." Will said as Neo opened his eyes and groans. "Wait…where did you guys come from?" Will asks looking around.
In another part of town by at the Silver Dragon restaurant Yan Lin was sweeping up shop when she heard a loud crashing noise just out back.
"What in the name of?" Running outside Yan Lin looks to see Mjolnir sitting in the middle of a small crater waiting for someone to pull him free.
"I don't believe it." Yan Lin said in complete shock.
