Time went as it should.

His alter ego finished to build the safe heaven for mutants and wizards. Without surprise, it did not go well with Midgard leaders. They did not like the idea of an autonomous other power with so much potential.

They tried to threaten them in coming back but it ended in a failure when they saw that most if not all of the families of those that left earth went with them. They tried using threat of war but it also failed. The magical protection stopped any idea of launching nuclear weapon.

Also, Loki display of power when he was hunted by the us army made them hesitate.

He also read something about stark moving out with them as the idea of magic mixed with technology pleased him and made him curious of the possibility. It was expected, really, the man loved innovation too much to not go there.

Earth was now "free" of wizard and mutants. The last spell Loki casted on Midgard with the help of his people was one denying humanity the use of magic or the possibility of mutation as they showed themselves unable to accept it. Midgard was now fully "human" and would stay this way unless they showed themselves mature enough to accept those different from themselves.

As for himself, he decided to stay on earth to prepare his finals days. The ritual was ready and he decided to make his last stand in a forest in Russia. When the ritual would start, it would send him and Thanos here and he would seal the mad titan in his mind to keep him from ever coming back to life.

To link a murderer to another murderer and kill one of them to kill the two. Who ever said killing two birds with one stone was impossible?

Fleur, Morgana and Zatanna tried to make him leave with them but he knew what he needed to do and it would be his last gift to Yggdrasil. He almost destroyed a realm in misguided anger made his family broken by his action.

He looked at the start and smiled. He was here. The titan was approaching. How he missed the planet of his alter ego, he did not know, maybe some new kind of runes or a spell he designed with the help of the midgardian and his friends.

He needed a few hours of preparation. As he looked in the sky he could feel the battle raging on, His alter ego had engaged Thanos. And form the look of it, most of the advanced race of Yggdrasil had joined the fight. Though he did not know how they came know he would attack so soon.

He did not know but IT. END. NOW!

He prepared for years, and the time finally came. Thanos was here. Every heroes able was ready to fight, every wizards, witches and mutants were waiting for his signal to attack. The spell they casted to hide from his sight worked perfectly.

When he finally gave them the signal, a large blast of magical, energetic and psychic power was sent in Thanos army direction, destroying a quarter of it. The first stand of humanity had begun.

While their enemy was numerous, they had the power to keep them at bay. Sorcerer for the occasion used all of the spells at their disposal, mutants did not try to keep themselves in check.

He could see Magneto use his power like never before, hundreds of steel bar used as projectiles and swords shredding his enemies into minced meat. Professor Xavier was even more terrifying, he just needed to look at an enemy to make him fall dead on the ground.

The wizard and witches were also making good work of the enemy, using the most destructive spell in their inventory to deal heavy damage .

As the battle keep going, the enemy was gaining ground. Dumbledore was also proving his place as one of the greatest wizard to have ever lived. His spells were making the battlefield look like hell. He made rain of fire fall on the enemy and animated dragons of fire and rock attack the Chitauri.

The enchanted creature teared in the enemies line, no matter what kind of damage were inflicted on them, they kept reforming and attacking. The man was strong for a mortal, really strong.

Even Tom, or voldemort as he liked to be called, was using all of his dark art to take care of the aliens. To see the dead alien rise to fight their allies or his beast of fiendfyre hunting them was impressing.

The battle was going strong and even with the Asgardian intervening to help, it wasn't going well. As mindless as the Chitauri were, they had the number to make it insignificant. It surprised him to see them come, even more to see his father ride at the front dressed in his war attire. Even his mother was here, accompanied with more seidr than he remembered there ever was on Asgard.

His brother as usual was raging on the battlefield, swinging his armer left and ride, the thunder resounding with each swing. The warriors three steady at his side, showing why they were considered the best in their field.

As time passed, Thanos army did no dwindle down and seemed only to grow. The elves and dwarves joined a few hours after the Asgardians but it was not enough, he could see it. They were getting pushed back and they were tired.

As he was about to order a retreat to their main city,something happened.

They were getting tired, the aliens never stopped coming and their friends were falling one after another. Even Loki showed sign of strain. They saw he was about to signal something but suddenly a violent explosion of fire was heard above the battle field.

"IT END NOW!"

A giant of fire appeared above the battlefield. He looked a lot like Loki, screw that, it was Loki with a beard and more apparent muscle. His signature lance was absent, instead, an axe of fire in his left hand and an axe of ice in his right hand.

No one had time to react when he swung his weapons on the chitauri. They could feel the power of the impact but it did not hurt any of them.

As they were about to resume the fight, the giant grabbed Thanos and disappeared.

"YOU SHALL NOT ESCAPE!"

Without their leader, the fight went a lot easier and it only took a few hours to take care of them. The midgardian proved their strength in the fight. He would never admit it but they scared him. The bald man, able to kill with a stare or the old bearded man able to create magical indestructible beast out of nothing.

They were mighty warrior. He would admit that though.

The appearance of the giant of fire surprised him. He knew they were loosing grounds and the giant changed everything. AS he finished his enemies, he went to his brother to ask what it was.

"Brother. It is good to see you well."

Loki looked at him with a tired smile, nonetheless, it was a real smile.

"Thor, I would ask you how you are but you seem fine."

He laughed at his brother usual smart ass comment.

"indeed! It was a mighty battle brother! Still, what was this giant that appeared? "

He expected an answer of his brother, he did not imagine his brother would not know.

"Come on brother, you do not need to hide your might in magic."

Loki's eyes were narrowed.

"It was not me. While the giant was looking like me, too much for my liking, I did not cast the spell for it and even if I wanted, it would ask for too much power."

He looked at his brother, disturbed by what he said.

"I know the spell came from Midgard, I do not know who used it but i'll soon find out."

As he finished, he disappeared. As did most of the powerfull seidr he saw fight and to his surprise his father.

XoX Friga PoV Xo

She was the first at the location of the ritual. Somehow, she knew he was responsible. There was nothing left aside from a gauntlet. She prepared a spell to see what happened when she hard the sound of several people appearing behind here.

When she casted it, she hoped she was wrong.

The giant of fire appeared with Thanos firmly secure in his hand. Without wasting a second He threw him in the ritual circle and went back to his original form.

Loki stood in front of the ritual circle as chain of magic kept the titan from moving.

"who are you!"

The titan was unnerved by loki's calmness.

"I'm loki."

A look of realisation appeared on hi face.

"How can it be! I saw you fight, you do not have the power to do what you did."

Loki did not stop the ritual and simply looked at the titan with a raised eyebrow.

"So he was fighting. Good to know. You are not wrong, he do not have the power to do what I did."

If thanos was surprised he did not show it.

"So you're him but not him at the same time. A different universe then."

Loki did not say anything or react.

"I see. From the look of things you knew of me and prepared for this day. The you should know why I do this."

"You're mad, titan. Your perfect balance cannot exist and while the universe is finite, I know this version of myself will find a better answer than your."

"You fool yourself."

"Maybe... But a already made your plan fail once, I will do it one last time. My last gift to this reality."

"You cannot kill me."

"I do not need to. I just need to die with you."

"You fooooooool!"

As he yelled, the circle flared and Thanos was absorbed in Loki while a black circle appeared under them. Black hand sprouted from it, grabbing the now alone Loki and making him disappear inside it before closing.

The first to react was an old wizards she saw on the battlefield.

"I believe this "loki" used an old dark ritual used to seal being or object. If memory serve me correctly, the spell was lost centuries ago. It's said the caster is dragged to the depth of hell and from the look of it, it may not be an exaggeration."

She was silently crying at the loss of a son she never knew when she saw his last moment. Everyone was silent in respect for the sacrifice this loki made to assure their survival. Morgana knew of him if her reaction was anything to go by. Apparently, Lokkemand adalhaid was known by quite a few.

They could not do anything for him know but she know he gave them a chance to prove him right.

Loki was the most troubled of them. Seeing this "double" die to save him and everyone he loved touched him more than he would never admit, even odin was touched by the sacrifice.

They know could rebuild and prepare for the future. They owed him that much.

By the norn, how was he alive. The spell was supposed to kill him, not send him somewhere else. He could hear Thanos laugh in his mind. Apparently the titan found the situation amused him.

He couldn't feel the stone any more and his whole body was hurting.

As he tried to open his eyes, he heard a man near him.

"Hey you. You're finally awake. They found you lying unconscious at the border. You were at the wrong place at the wrong time, like us and that thief over there."
