We're nearing the end! I've watched Spiderman and it was awesome! Without any spoilers ahead, Spiderman No Way Home was hands down in part with Endgame! I was on the edge and nearly crying the entire time. I love every second of the movie! Go watch it!

Plus, it got me pumped for Dr. Strange 2! That's why I'm ditching a few things in my work for this! I gotta finish this fic, and after seeing that Spiderman, I made a few changes of plans, a last-minute panic kind of thing. But it's coming to an end.

With that said, It has been a ride writing this fic. Lots of brainstorms, a few re-writes, and trying to make it on par with the MCU. Thank you so much for reading and sticking around with me It has been a joy to read everyone's comments and enthusiasms, and I hope that as this fic is coming to an end, there will be more comments and reviews as well.

Once again, thank you so much for your devotion to this fic! It has been an honor to write this fic that you guys love.

PS: As we are nearing an end, I won't be posting any more post-credit scenes.

When Sylvie arrived back at Kamar-taj, she landed at the training grounds. She's unsure why she took this place instead of the library, but her mind told her to come here.

And just her luck, Stephen, Wanda, and Mobius are there, discussing together. They too noticed her arrival.

"Sylvie!" Wanda exclaimed happily.

The Goddess of Mischief jogged towards the Scarlet Witch, "Wanda, is everything alright? Where did you go?"

"I went to see my mother."

The two magicians blinked, looking dumbfounded, "You what?"

Sylvie made a line on her mouth, thinking of a way to make sense of this, "Well, Thor and Loki's mum to be exact. Thor's suggestion to see him."

"What do you think you're trying to accomplish?" Strange looked at her a little more seriously.

"Look, I'm trying to find a way to get Loki back, alright? I was out of ideas and none of your books were helping," this made Strange furrow his brows, "No offense. But I was really out of ideas and Thor gave me a suggestion to see someone who understands more magic than me, which is Thor's mum. Frigga."

"So, did she give you an answer?" Wanda asked.

She nodded, "I think I know how to find him."

"You think?" Strange scoffed at her, sounding disappointed, to which confuses her, "I'm sorry, Sylvie but I thought you just said that Frigga helped you."

"She did, and I found the answer now," She then sighed, "Look I know that this is going to be hard to explain but trust me when I said I know where to find him. And I'm going to need both of your help."

"Okay," Wanda nodded, "Anything, so what do you need?"

"Everyone," Mobius chimed in, Sylvie didn't realize that he was kind of left out of the conversation. But the tone when he called them was serious, his brows furrowed as he looked at his tempad, "Something big is here.

Sylvie moved a step closer to him, "What's happening?"

"My sources are telling me that something is happening at the New York Sanctum," he said.

"Why is it if there's something going on, it'd be in New York?" Sylvie asked, she heard of this city many times and it seems a huge amount of trouble is always there.

Stephen seemed to ignore her, "What's going on there?"

Mobius then turned back to them both, his eyes full of alert, "A full anomaly in the Multiverse again, even more branches spreading and spiraling," he announced, looking very serious, "It's getting out of hand."

The three magicians looked at each other, all feeling the danger that's coming. Kang must be behind this. They didn't expect it to be this fast.

Stephen broke the tension, "Let's be prepared this time. 5 minutes, and let's meet up again." Both ladies nodded. Sylvie then walked towards Mobius, "Mobius, I need you to get back to the TVA."

"Oh, come on. You're going to leave me out of the fun?"

"It's too dangerous, Mobius. And you're not exactly in the position to be able to fight, we can handle this," she had nearly lost her friend twice, she's not going to risk his life again for her, "Please? I can't lose another friend again." She didn't know why she used that word….friend. How could she even say that?

But Mobius didn't seem to mind. He looked left, pursing his lips, "You know you changed," he chuckled, "From the person who fought for themselves, and now, fighting for the universe."

She smiled, "Wasn't my intention at first."

"Well, it's a good chance. And I'm glad," he then tapped a few things on his tempad and a portal appeared, "However, I'm still joining you guys," Sylvie was about to protest about the elderly man raised his hand to stop her to, "With my minutemen. I'll provide back up from afar."

Sylvie sighed in relief, "Okay."

He nodded, "Alright, go get ready. You have a world to save."

Sylvie packed light….well, she didn't really need packing because everything she packed pretty much vanished just the way Loki did it. She took a few more knives and shields from the training grounds, just in case. She readied her battle suits, with a few upgrades from Strange. She now has shoulder plates and knee pads made of light steel. Now, she really felt more prepared for any attacks.

This is it, she thought, I'm going to make things right. She had made many mistakes in the past, but this is the one that she is determined to make right. She should've been dead, but Loki protected her. And she'll repay that debt.

The Goddess of Mischief then conjured Loki's knife, looking at the same weapon that somehow defined her relationship with Loki. I'll come for you, Loki. Wait for me.

Suddenly, she felt a comforting feeling wrapping her. She felt this way before when Loki hugged her.

"Sylvie," a knock came with the sound of Stephen's voice, "Are you ready?"

She flicked her wrist and the knife disappeared before heading towards the door and opening it. Strange looked like he didn't change but looked prepared anyway. She nodded, "I'm ready."

He nodded, "Good," he then conjured his signature magic in his hand, and it glided gracefully around Sylvie, wrapping around her like a blanket before disappearing.

"What was that?"

"It's an armor suit," he said, "In case Mordo tries to get you again this time."

Sylvie's smiled, her heartfelt warmth for his concern. Weeks ago, they were quarreling, now they are fighting side by side. She didn't know that this day would come, but she felt that comfort knowing that she has more people she can count on now, "Thank you, Strange. For everything."

"Call me Stephen," he said, "Now, let's find Wanda."

She nodded and followed him.

When they found Wanda in her room, she was speaking to her children. The Scarlet Witch was kneeling, looking straight at her boys who are sitting on the bed.

"Can't we come with you, Mom? Please?" Billy asked, his voice sounding hoarse, "We promise we'll be careful."

"I can help us both escape," Tommy pleaded as well, sounding desperate to be with his mother.

Wanda stroked their cheeks, "This is going to be very different from the last we fought them, my sweets. We're going to bring Loki back."

"But what if you need our help?" Bill asked again, still not willing to give up, "We want to help find Loki too."

The mother of the twins smiled warmly and kissed both of their foreheads before pulling them to a hug, "I know you will. But I'm sure Loki would not want to see you in danger too, and he'll want to see you safe. Right?" she pulled back and looked at their eyes, "I'll be back with him, and when he trains with you again, he'll be the judge for fighting the enemy again. Okay?"

The twins looked at each other but stayed quiet. It looked like they were having a silent conversation before they turned back to their mother, then Tommy spoke up, "Promise that you'll come back?"

Wanda gave them a heart-breaking smile as a mother would if they are leaving their children for a long time, "I promise I'll come home." Then she pulled them into a hug again, "I love you both so much."

The twins hugged her back, "Love you too, Mom," they spoke."

Sylvie watched the parent and children in awe, Wanda's affection was similar to what Frigga and Odin gave her. It was warm and loving. Her friend is a good mother.

The Scarlet Witch then stood up, "Be good here, okay?"

"Yes, Mom," Billy chimed.

She nodded and started to notice Sylvie and Strange watching her. She walked towards them and smiled, "I'm ready."

Stephen nodded, he then conjured the same spell that Sylvie was given moments ago, "For protection from Mordo or Kang," he said, "Let's leave now." The Sorcerer Supreme turned back and opened a portal to New York.

When they arrived at the Sanctum, it looked a little messed up. The walls were crumbling yet, revealing another dimension, books are disarrayed from their shelves, and some objects seemed should be there but not as there were many spaces missing. Everything is falling apart. Sylvie can tell that this is not the Sanctum that is supposed to be.

And Wanda confirmed it, "What happened here?"

"Kang or Mordo must've meddled with different dimensions," Stephen said in a low tone, "The multiverse is fighting with their realities. Space, time and voids beyond are colliding on realities."

"He messed the realities again?" Sylvie asked in a whisper.

"Most probably," Stephen looked around cautiously, he made a few hand gestures until his signature magic appeared, "Keep your guard up, he could be anywhere."

Sylvie conjured two blades behind her while Wanda released an energy ball in her hands, walking carefully behind Stephen. The two magic wielders observed their surroundings, it was dead as night yet menacing. Pressure is exerting.

Suddenly, from the dimensional walls appeared a body falling down to the ground with a thud, startling them all. It was a body of a minute man. Stephen kneeled down examining the body, "He's unconscious."

Sylvie turned to the wall that the body dropped right out from, examining it. It was a moving painting of space and the milky way of different galaxies, with cracks on them, as if it's the Mirror Dimension.

The Mirror Dimension?

She began to panic and ran back to Stephen and Wanda, "Stephen! Wanda! It's a trap! We're in.." But before she could even finish her sentence, a huge ocean wave appeared beneath their feet, reaching their knee level. Quickly, the three of them used their magic to levitate (Sylvie used her shields to make it stairs for her) and reached a higher staircase.

"What's going on here?" Wanda exclaimed in horror.

"This is what happens when you pervert magic for your own benefits," A voice boomed behind them, making the three of them turn back.

From the glass that signifies the Sanctum of the sorcerers appeared a figure that penetrated the window, revealing to be Mordo. The three magic wielders each conjured their own magic, preparing their stances.

Mordo landed on the floor, looking at them with so much calming hate like a wolf stalking its prey, "Just so you know, this wasn't my doing."

"Then who is?" Sylvie demanded while her blade is pointing sharply at him.

But the dark magician only grinned sickly, he then turned to Stephen, "I'm sorry, Stephen," he walked slowly towards them, "I hope that you understand," his aura flowing out of him, "the greatest threat to our universe," and stopped as he neared them, "is you."

Sylvie didn't understand why he's accusing Stephen but when looked at the sorcerer, his eyes widened with so much confusion. But Sylvie believed in Stephen, there is no way this man who protected them all would want to destroy the universe. And without missing a beat, tired of his nonsense, Sylvie glided her blade towards him.

To which Mordo easily blocked, but Wanda threw her energy ball, knocking him back. Stephen took the chance to charge at Mordo. But before Wanda and Sylvie could join, another portal appeared. At first, Sylvie thought it'd be Mobius.

But it was Kang.

Sylvie readied her stance, this time ready to impale the bastard.

"Oh, come on, why must this all end with a fight?" Kang complained like a child.

"You started it," she growled.

"Look okay, all I want is to get this Multiverse hectic things back as it is," he exclaimed in a rather irritated tone, "I told you before, with all the different realities clash, this war would happen. And what did you do instead? You killed me," he pointed harshly at him, "So I'm just here fixing your mess. And that's why I need that wizard's powers and that wakening power. It has the power to not jeopardize anything because you are a nexus-being! You know what that means? It means you can create any reality without causing any branches!"

"And you're going to use my powers to destroy different realities by wakening Mephisto?" Wanda furrowed her brow.

He shrugged, "Some realities survive, some won't. So, what?"

"You're even madder than Thanos," Wanda sneered, "I won't give you my powers."

Kang frowned, "You really are a stubborn one. But don't say that I didn't warn you," he then turned back towards the wall, as if expecting someone. Suddenly, the TVA portal appeared, and someone appeared before it.

Revealing to be Ravonna.

The last time she saw her was when she pruned Loki. She was filled with so much rage and hatred, she should've pruned her too. Sylvie's eyes widened and burned with rage, she gritted her teeth, "You!"

That woman still has the sickly grin and devil of a face on her. She gave a small wave, "Ah-ah, don't you dare try anything more foolish again." She then stepped ahead to stand beside Kang and turned back. Two small figures appeared from the portal and landed dropped face to the ground.

Tommy and Billy.

"Kids!" Wanda shouted in horror, wanting to get to them. But Sylvie knew that they're baiting her, the Goddess of Mischief grabbed her arm and pulled her back, "Let me go, Sylvie!"

The twins looked up to her in surprise, fear began to overshadow them, "Mom!" Tommy was about to get up, but Kang pointed his blade in front of the children, close to stabbing them.

"Two kids from a different reality," Kang chuckled, "And yet no time branch for their existence."

"Let them go," Wanda tried to break free from Sylvie, but she held onto her tighter. Not wanting her to do the same mistake as she did.

"Wanda, they're baiting you," she muttered softly, "Don't fall for it."

"Here's the deal," Kang grabbed their attention, "You come here in peace, and hand me your powers. Or," his blade suddenly sparked, statics of electricity burst into life as the tip is dangerously close to the twins' heads, "They die."

"Let them go!" Wanda growled, but it lacked bite.

"Choose. And when you do, make the lady beside you to give it to me. I don't want anything funny coming from you when you are near me," The blade hummed to life, he threatens to become dangerous. The children under the blade whimpered in fear as they both curled in each other's arms.

Wanda hesitated, unable to choose.

What do I do? Sylvie desperate to think of any possible solution, the twins' lives are on the line. If she's not careful not to make any haste, they'll…..

Her heart suddenly thumped harder, as if a drum beats on it. She couldn't move nor can she speak, it's as if time still at that time, the lightning from Kang's blade sparked slowly. Her consciousness began to go elsewhere even though she's still awake, the mind drifting her vision elsewhere.

I have to wake up, a soothing voice suddenly called echoed in her mind.

Loki!

Yes! She called out, tell me what to do!

The Power of Waking.

I can't, we can't, she cried, I can't use it if I don't know where you are yet.

There's something that I gave you that connected our hearts, something that we shared in Lamentus-1, his voice was light as a breeze but only Sylvie can hear him. Sylvie felt something tingling in her hand, and without in her command, the dagger that Loki gave her appeared. The bond we share.

Odin's words echoed in her memories. That is the strong bond you have with everyone connected to you. No matter the darkness you fell in too deeply, you can find each other eventually, a bond with someone never dies.

Now she knows what to do. Okay, I know what to do. Her consciousness is fully back again, and without dazing, she grabbed Wanda's wrist, "Wanda," she whispered to her carefully, "Give me the power of wakening."

The Scarlet Witch looked back at her, her eyes red and desperate, "What?"

"I know what to do," she looked at her with determination, "We'll save your kids."

"But…" When Wanda looked into her green eyes, she can tell she had something else in mind. What is she planning at? But her instincts told her to trust the God of Mischief. "Okay." She then lifted her hand and from her palm, a different color of energy appeared. It was covered with small scarlet energy, but the light was purer.

"Ah yes, that's it," Kang snickered sinisterly, "I believe that will be mine."

Wanda pursed her lips, still hesitating. But Sylvie held her hand, "Trust me." It felt natural now to say it.

The Scarlet Witch took a deep breath, clearly still unsure. But she trusted her, "Okay," and she placed the pure energy in Sylvie's palms. It felt warm and light in her skin, but at the same time, it felt like it had awakened something in her, and an overwhelming feeling was starting to bubble in her. As if something is about to burst to life.

Sylvie staggered from this new feeling but determined to hold on first until the time is right. She glared daggers to Kang, who is smiling wickedly at her while his palm is opened, gesturing to hand her Wanda's Power of Wakening. His other hand was holding the blade that is close to electrifying the twins.

Sylvie took a step closer than another, but with every step she took, her heart is bursting to life and beating harder than ever. It's as if it became the point of a compass, showing her the Northern Star. Her breathing began to hitch.

"Sylvie!" She heard Stephen's cries along with other spells clashing each other, "What do you think you're doing!"

But she couldn't really hear him as the beat of her heart rang in her ear, muffling any cries.

"Good, very good," Kang cackled, "You are even smarter than I thought."

But just as she was nearing him, the energy in her hand began to glow brightly. Blinding everyone. Not even Kang could see that coming. Sylvie felt her heart pound sharply on her chest and that overwhelming feeling she bottled up began to burst to life, leaping out. It fueled the other life in her as it but she knows that it's returning to its original body.

Thank you for always keeping me safe, Sylvie.

In another realm between dimensions, the lifeless body of Loki floated aimlessly in the dark. It was a dark void of nothing and a lonely world. If anyone were to be in it, it's as if they closed their eyes. There was no light but darkness.

But right in front of Loki's body, a glimmer of light flickered in the dark abyss. The light came down like a shooting star, fast and swift.

And landed right at Loki's heart.

Immediately, The God of Mischief's eyes snapped open, gasping at the new breath of life. The light-filled him with unknown strength, fueling his heart and will to protect and live. He felt his powers surge tremendously, and the magic in him pumped to live. It was a new overwhelming feeling.

As he looked around, the first thing he noticed as he looked around was that he was floating lightly, gliding in nothing. When he looked around, he was in darkness but a bright light in front of him.

His heart told him to head to the light and fast. And without missing a beat, he launched himself towards the glimmering star.

Sylvie fell to her knees, gasping for air at the sudden loss of life in her. She felt exhausted and a little dead in her. Was it because of the Power of Wakening? Did it work?

"SYLVIE!" Wanda shouted. But she was slow to hear.

"You fool," she heard Kang exclaimed above her. Before she could even lift her head up, a mechanical hand grabbed her neck and lifted her up in the air, "You're playing at the losing side. You've lost. And still you think you can play an Avenger?" he began to close his fist tighter, choking her windpipe. She desperately clawed on the steel hand slowly chocking her breath away while trying to breathe, "You can wait your turn, as I take these kids' lives." He looked down at the twins, and the electricity on his blade began to short circuit and sparked with a horrifying thunderclap.

Out of nowhere, from the ceiling above where it has fractures revealing dimensions after dimensions of multiverses, came down a pure beaming light similar to the Bifrost bridge, landing straight at Kang and Ravonna and releasing his grip from her. The two people staggered back until they hit a fractured wall, knocking the breath out of them, while Sylvie was knocked to the ground from the blast. The twins now no longer at death's snare quickly got up, and Tommy zoomed him and his brother towards their mother, "MOM!"

Wanda let out a breath of relief, "Billy! Tommy!" she opened her arms for them, and the children launched themselves towards her, hugging fiercely at their mother, each sobbing onto her shoulders in fear, "Oh god, I'm never going to leave you both ever again."

As the Bifrost Bridge was still beaming brightly, a blade shot right out of it and landed on Mordo's arm, impaling right through it. The Dark Magician screamed in pain, and it gave Stephen a chance to conjure his magic and attack his chest, crashing him onto a bookshelf and destroying it completely.

Stephen took that opportunity to glide back to the ladies, he noticed Sylvie's lifeless form and immediately snatched her away from the two variants and knelt next to Wanda and her children. "Are you all okay?" The family nodded, and once he knows that they are fine, he looked down at the fainted Sylvie in his arms. He flicked his fingers ran a quick diagnosis spell on her and found no serious casualties, just exhaustion. She's alive and okay, the sorcerer let out a sigh of relief.

But more importantly, what is that light?

As the beam of light began to fade little by little, a fierce yet familiar voice boomed, "Hands off my friends."

The four of them tried to look through the fading light and the dust in front of them, and as the dust settled, they can see a tall slender hooded figure standing in front of them. His dark green coat swayed gracefully from the fading wind until it came to a stop, Asgardian armor plates on his shoulders and gauntlets on his arms, gleamed brightly under the many stars of the galaxies of multiverses. A pair of golden steel swords floated obediently behind him, its steel blade humming menacingly.

Their eyes widened at the realization of who this person is. "It cannot be…" Stephen heard Mordo's voice from somewhere. The hooded figure pulled his hood back….

Revealing to be Loki Laufeyson, eyes flared with determination to smite anyone who touches his allies again. "My turn."

If Thor arrives in Wakanda with style, so will his brother :( and I demand it!

Hope you like it! This one is a little shorter so that it won't jumble up with the next one. Until next time!
