Chapter Eight

The All Father Arrives

"It is all complete." Loki said as he looked at the completed circle of elements surrounding him. All glowing with their flames and allowing their energy to flow up into the tubes and into an unknown place. "We will now start the ritual to bring the All Father down to Midgard." He said as he looked towards one specific spot of the chamber. "You will start us off little boy."
The glowing blue eyes of Tsuna stared at Loki and nodded his head as he released a large pulse of energy out and then another and another. Soon all of his elements were copying him and releasing pulses of energy.

Loki watched with fascination and eagerness as the energy grew in quantity and speed. Soon the sitting figures were hidden in the amount of energy they were releasing and only silhouettes were seen, along with the glowing blue eyes.

"Now! Do it now!" Loki yelled as he watched with manic glee as his plan came together.

He groaned in pain as his head pounded and his body complained at the abuse it had gone under. "Damn it." He muttered as he forced his eyes open, squinting at the bright light that was blinding him at that moment. "What happened?" He muttered as he raised a hand to his forehead as he forced himself to remember why he hurt and why he was waking up like this.

That was when everything came back to him and his body slingshot up and out of the bed, heading for the door.

Or it would have if he hadn't crumpled to the floor seconds after his feet touched the floor. "Tsuna! Damn it!" Peter snarled as he tried to force his body to stand up, mind going over all the places where Loki normally liked to hide.

"Looks like someone is up." A dark voice snarked as a hand closed on Peter's scruff and hefted him up like a sack of potatoes and tossed him back onto the bed. "Now tell me what the hell happened down there!" Reborn ordered with a gun against the Teen's head.

Peter didn't flinch at the gun and instead struggled to keep control. Something inside of him was screaming to go after Tsuna and get the other boy back…Now! "Get out of my way." Peter snarled as he swatted the gun aside before Reborn could do anything, stunning the Hitman. "I have to get him back! I don't have time to deal with you." He stated as he stood back up, only to collapse again, pain radiating in his body.

"You can't go anywhere in your condition." Lal stated with a grim countenance. "You apparently took one hell of a hit. Knocked you right out cold."

"Kora! That god has a bit of power doesn't he? Despite being weaker than Thor." Colonello snipped with a scowl right on his face. "You're not exactly fully human and yet you take a single hit and you're down in an instant."

Peter growled at the group in front of him as he knocked Reborn away and stood up anyways, ignoring the pain that radiated over his ribs and stomach and the headache blooming behind his eyes. He knew it would turn into a migraine later. "I never said I was that powerful!" Peter snarled as he moved towards the exit of the apparent infirmary. "Yes I'm faster, stronger, and see better than a normal human! But that does not put me on the same god damn level as Thor!" He shouted as he hit the button for the elevator.

A bullet slammed into the button, effectively stopping the elevator from advancing up to them. "You aren't going anywhere until we figure out where Tsuna and his Guardians are." Reborn snarled at the young superhero. "So sit down and get to thinking!"

Peter snarled to himself before rearing his fist back and slammed into the metal door as hard as he possibly could.

All three ex-Arcobaleno stared in awe and disbelief as the elevator doors were dented and flew off and down the hatch. "He says he's not strong?" Lal questioned as they watched the teen jump down the elevator hatch and most likely out of the building.

"I think he doesn't realize how strong he really is." Reborn commented before shaking his head. "Either way it doesn't matter! We need to go and find Tsuna and the others now!" He growled before smirking. "I know the one place that could easily do that as well."

"We're following that Spider brat, right, Kora." The soldier could only smirk back as Reborn nodded his head.

Lal only sighed and rubbed the bridge of her nose. "Why am I stuck with all the idiots?" That's when a familiar blonde figure slid down the cables of the elevator and jumped onto the floor.

"I have some information for you three and Tsuna." They said as he held out a little red book to Reborn.

TFD

"Fury!" Spiderman yelled as he appeared on the bridge of the Helicarrier. "WE have a major problem!" He didn't even walk over to the leader of Shield, he crawled on his hands and balls of his feet on the ceiling of the bridge. He was too agitated to try and walk on the ground floor. Walking upside down always helped him calm down but now it wasn't doing it now. "Like invasion of New York with aliens kind of bad!"

"Spidey." Fury said as he looked up to the arachnid hero. His brow furrowed as he watched the teenage hero scurry back and forth the ceiling, already knowing that the news was immensely bad. "Does this have any connection with the fluctuation of energy that's permeating underneath Central park?"

Spidey instantly stopped and stared directly down at the director. The black skinned man watched the other drop to the floor and crouch in front of the man. "It might. Tsuna was taken a couple of hours ago by Loki. He knocked me out cold and took Tsuna from there." He admitted with a growl lacing his voice.

Fury nodded his head in understanding before pulling up a screen in front of them and pointing at the figures and numbers and graphs littering it. "This shows the increase of energy and the fluctuations it goes through every few minutes. It gets stronger each time and I think it'll just keep going until something happens." He explained calmly. "The levels of energy being outputted could be deadly to those generating it."

Spidey nodded his head in understanding before growling. "Where's my team?" He questioned as he swiped at the screen and moved the level readings aside to look at pictures and narrowing his eyes as one caught his eye. "When was this one taken?"
"They're in the training hall with Coulson at the moment." He turned to the picture that the red and blue hero had brought forward and frowned at the picture. It showed a picture of Central Park where a fountain sat. It was glowing in a rainbow of colors, constantly fluctuating. Fury looked at the timestamp with a scowl. "Only five minutes ago. It seems we've found where they're most likely located at."

"Then we need to get there before whatever he's planning actually happens!" Peter exclaimed as he jumped towards the windows of the Bridge and opened it, only to have a foot slam into his face and send him flying at Fury.

"Thanks for the entry point." Reborn said as he looked at the group with a little red book in his hands, Colonello right behind him with Lal. "It also seems you've found where they are." He said as he looked at the picture.

"Kora, we have information that we've just received." The military man added on as Lal followed behind with a blonde haired man that was wearing a black suit, tie, and a white shirt underneath.

"It should help figure out why this Loki took my son." He said as he glared at the head of Shield. "Nice to see you again Fury. Too bad it isn't under better circumstances." He said as he held out a hand to the other man.

Fury just glared at the blonde man before turning to Reborn. "What's the information you've got?"
"Comes straight from the Ninth." Reborn replied as he handed over the book to Fury. "This book was written by the Primo of Vongola. He's written an experience similar to this one if only a little different. From what I've understood, this explains what Loki is after by taking the Tenth Generation."
"Alright. Let's see what this thing says." Fury said as he flipped open the book to a marked page.

"We don't have time! Tsuna's in trouble! We have to go and help him!" Spidey shouted as he threw his hands up in the air in exasperation, still laying on the floor.

"We can't go anywhere until we understand the situation." Fury replied as he read the book. "This will give us a better understanding of what's going on and why. So be patient. We'll go and get your boyfriend as soon as we can."
Peter growled but nodded his head as he waved a hand for the other to begin, grudgingly. "Get on with it so we can get going!" He growled out.

Fury ignored the mood of the teen and instead began to read the pages out loud so that all gathered could hear what he was reading.

"It started on a hot and humid day here in Italy…"

TFD

We were all in the manor of the Vongola, resting after an attempted invasion of our territory from another family. Asari, G, and Daemon were all in the infirmary recovering from wounds inflicted in battle. Alaude was out patrolling the area with an extra dose of aggression from the other day's battle. Knuckles was praying in the chapel while Lampo rested in his room, drained from shielding the injured during battle. I myself was in my office doing paperwork.

All of us were exhausted from the battle and in no shape to continue a fight, but another fight we were going to get anyways.

This one was fiercer than the last and it would bring several surprises along with it. I am still unable to believe what occurred despite being in the middle of it.

TFD

"Giotto! We're under attack!" Knuckles burst into his boss's office. Fear was written all over his face. "Our forces are already trying to hold them off with Alaude leading the attack. I'm not sure how long we can hold them off though."
"With yesterday's attack, I'm not surprised that we're shorthanded. So many were hurt." Giotto said as he swung his mantel around his shoulders and walked out the door. His spiky blonde hair swaying in the breeze of his brisk walk. "Let's go and help Alaude. He's going to need all the help he can get."

Knuckles nodded, bringing his hands together as he prepared himself to battle as well. "Three minutes Giotto." He stated as his black hair swayed into his eyes. He'd need a haircut soon.

"I know Knucks, do what you can and me and Alaude will handle the rest." The Primo said as they two walked outside to utter chaos. "Any clue what family is attacking us?"
"None. They appeared out of nowhere as well. We're not sure where they came from or why they're attacking." The priest replied as he pulled off his robes and made sure the wrappings on his hands were tight.

Giotto nodded his head as he looked around the area, taking in the strange suited individuals. They were wearing some sort of armor and their helmets hid their faces, but what skin he could see was gray and like it was rotting. "Do what you can. I handle everything else." He said as he lit up his fists with his flames and jumped into the battle, sending multiple figures flying.

Knuckles wasted no time as he jumped in as well, his own flames flaring from his body as he began to send one after another flying away.

Giotto was grunting under the attack of one of these strange beings when an arrow lodged into its head and it fell to the ground. He instantly looked up and saw his Right hand man up on the roof of the mansion, firing arrow after arrow. He looked around and saw Asari chopping away with his sword and Daemon was slicing with his scythe. "What are you doing you three?!" Giotto screeched at his men. He could all of them wincing at his voice and in pain. "You should be in bed resting!"

"We don't have time nor the men to rest!" G scoffed at his boss.

"We are already out numbered. We don't have the leisure to lay around lazing about." Daemon added, his purple melon hair style just barely seen over the crowd. It was bad time but Primo could only grouch about being the shortest person here, even Lamp was taller than him.

"They're right Gio." Lampo said as he appeared at Asari's back, blocking an attack with his shield. "Not to mention these guys are using weird weapons."
"They are a strange power indeed." Asari agreed as he struggled against the blasts, cutting them in half or redirecting them with his swords. He wasn't sure how much he could last, especially since he was only wearing his pants at this point with bandages wrapped around his chest. His black hair was wild and spiky without his normal hat to hold it down. "Like concentrated flames shot out of guns but different somehow."

The little green haired prince nodded his agreement while the red headed flame tattooed right hand man had to dodge to the side to avoid a blast. "We need to do something. Knuckles' time limit ended five minutes ago but he's still going." G called down just in time for Alaude to appear in front of Primo, knocking one of the weird attackers aside. "He's breaking his vow and you know how he'll feel about that when this is all said and done!"

"We do not have enough men. The ones I brought are out of commission. It is only us left." The blonde informed before knocking one of the enemies in the head with his handcuffs, knocking him back and into others.

Primo scowled at the information before sighing. "Alright then, everyone, gather down here! We need to regroup and then attack together." He called out and watched as one by one, his guardians appeared, forming a circle so that they could cover each other's' back. He smiled as he looked at them all before taking a deep breath and closing his eyes. His intuition was pounding against his head to do something and he knew that when he started his guardians would naturally follow his lead. He'd need to start now. Soon He was emitting bursts of Flames out of his body. His guardians followed his lead just as he thought.

He started them in short bursts but then he began to make them more frequently and with more power. He knew the others were struggling to keep up but they were doing so anyways.

The things surrounding them were unable to breach the barrier of flames they had erected and were screeching in dissatisfaction.

The Vongola ignore tehm as they slammed all of their power together into a powerful burst of flames and all of them gasped in surprise when they felt their Flames latch onto something else. Something powerful and…Primo could only think of one thing to think…out of this world.

They were unable to cut the power to whatever their flames had grabbed a hold of, only ride it out as their flames brought whatever it was.

It was eternities put into seconds later that their flames receded and seeped back into them. What little energy they had before the invasion was gone and they could only fall to their knees. Only Primo and Alaude were left on their feet, both panting heavily as they tried to prepare for another attack.

"Why have I been called?" A voice boomed from the middle of the group, startling everyone.

TFD

The creatures were defeated by a mighty figure. Taller than all of my Guardians by a great deal, wearing such grand armor. He looked as if he had come from a Viking tale. A beard of snow and a spear in his hand. He was missing an eye and so wore an eyepatch.

He decimated the creatures that were attacking us I two swipes of his spear before destroying the bodies.

He left no evidence but the destroyed courtyard and garden that there had been an attack.

He then introduced himself as Odin, All father of Asgard. None of us could believe what we were hearing. Odin was supposed to be a legend, not an actual person standing in front of us.

But there he was. Standing with a rigid battle stance and a glare on his face.

'Do not summon me again Midgardians, unless another fleet of Chitauri appear.'

With that warning, though my guardians did not take it as such, Odin disappeared in a flash of white, leaving a peculiar pattern on my lawn.

I am still unsure of what to think of having the Legendary Odin, father and god to Vikings, appear on my lawn to fight a creature I know not.

TFD

Fury frowned at the information given while Spidey stayed on the ground, taking in the information silently. "He's trying to summon Odin? How is that possible?"
From what we can understand, the Rainbow Bridge that Thor uses to travel from here to Asgard is similar in energy to Dying Will Flames." Iemitsu said calmly, ignoring the glare he got from Fury over the mention of Thor's mode of transport. "If a group of elements that have pure enough Flames work together and synchronize their flames enough, they can force a sort of summoning." He explained to the group.

"It looks like it'll summon Odin himself." Fury said with a tilt of his head. "We've have had him appear on Earth before to deal with an old foe. His son Thor has helped us out many times in the past as well."

"So Loki is trying to summon Odin down to Earth to destroy him and then take over both Asgard and Midgard with the All Father out of the way." Spidey said as he stood up finally and looked everyone. "Did we get that or are you just going to repeat what you just read to waste time?"

Everyone turned and raised a brow at the spandex hero, who snarled before leaping up onto the ceiling and then to a window, jumping out of that window easily.

"So…is anyone going to go after him, Kora?"

Reborn sighed and shook his head before walking over to the window and stared out of it for a moment. "I'll meet you at Central Park with the arachnid. Deal with Fury nad his side." With that the Hitman jumped out the window as well.

It was silent for a long moment until Colonello spoke up. "I'm going to follow them. I'll talk to you guys later." He leaned over and kissed Lal on the cheek before ducking under her punch and ran out the window right behind Reborn and Spiderman.

"Why can't anything be easy?" Fury growled as he shook his head and pulled out his cellphone.

"We're leaders of large intelligence organizations. We don't deal with easy." Iemitsu stated with a shrug of his shoulders. "Nowhere in that type of work is described as easy."

"Shut up Sawada or I'll throw you out that window next." Fury growled. "Yeah, Stark, is Thor there? Good, put him on now."

TFD

"Yes, yes, yes! Bring him here now!" Loki yelled as he watched all of the energy pool together and then shoot up into the air. He couldn't believe that this was happening! That this was actually occurring.

He had remembered when the All Father had been summoned by the Midgardians back when he was younger and he and Thor were still on good terms. The man had just up and disappeared in a flash of colors that had blinded him and Thor.

He had been disturbed when he had found out that Midgardians could summon Asgardians for help but then interested when he had learned the tale behind the summoning. It had been something he kept with him and now he was glad he had.

He was going to force Odin away from his throne and onto Midgard so that he could be taken away from his guards, from all protections, from even Thor who was supposed to be on Asgard at the moment. No one would be able to stop him from destroying Odin now. He'd have Odin all to himself.

Once that happened, he'd be able to kill Odin and take over both Midgard and Asgard.

No one would be able to stop him.

"Give Tsuna back!"

"Except maybe him." Loki muttered as his face deadpanned and he was forced to turn around and see the red and blue hero he had to deal with quite frequently lately. "Spiderman, seems you have found us after all. Though I would have thought that hit I gave you earlier would have kept you out for at least two days."

"I'm tougher than you think." Spidey spat as he jumped to the ceiling of the dome and looked at the seven teens that were hid in their flames. "That and you have managed to do the one thing no other villain has managed to do." HE snarled as he began to walk towards the God of Mischief.

"Oh, and what would that be?" Loki questioned with a smirk. He had a feeling he knew exactly what he had done.

Spidey didn't even wait to answer as he slammed a fist forward. Loki's eyes widened in surprise but he was able to raise his scepter up to black the hit.

Only to gasp a second later when he found himself indented into the wall later, his scepter was broken completely in half. "You." Spidey appeared in front of Loki. "Pissed." A fist slammed into the wall next to the god's head, leaving a crater. "Me." Loki couldn't believe he was seeing the spider like this, he had never seen the other so… "Off." Peter finished as he grabbed the god by the collar and threw him across the room.

Loki grunted when his body slammed into an orange barrier of Energy and watched as flames engulfed Spidey's own body. "It seems you have gotten even stronger in your anger." Loki said as he staggered to his feet. He could never have thought that the spider would be this strong. "Have you been holding back all of this time?"

Spidey didn't reply as he walked over towards Loki, intent on knocking the ever living hell out of the man but stopped when a flare of energy flooded the room and floored him to the floor. "What's…happening?" He questioned as he forced his body back up onto his feet.

Loki was doing the same but with a smirk on his face as he looked up as the energy seemed to backlash towards the two. "Here he comes." He said just as teh energy slammed onto the two standing individuals…but they were no longer the only two standing.

"Who has summoned the All Father Odin to Midgard?" Odin questioned a he glared down at Spiderman.

"Oh dear Thor." Spidey said as he looked up at the powerful god.

TFD

"He's moving faster than he did before." Colonello said as he followed the trail left behind by Spiderman. The two of them were following the Spider in the sewers, already knowing the other would lead them to their charges. "I haven't read anything about him being this fast before now."

Reborn stayed silent as he calculated a few things in his head. Many things hadn't been making sense about the Spiderboy and it had been irritating him relentlessly. He was never wrong but the way Peter had been acting had been making it seem like he was.

When he had first watched Spiderman fight a villain from the shadows, he had assumed the boy was much stronger than he had been letting on. That he was holding back so that he wouldn't hurt any of the villains too badly or kill them. He had kept his speed down so that his teammates could keep up, hid his strength so to allow the others chances at earning experience, and hid his intelligence so that he wouldn't show anyone up.

Reborn had read the report about Spidey creating an antidote for the Symbiote in a high school lab in less than fifteen minutes. The kid was a genius that was dumbing himself down for others.

Then there was the fact that the kid has a type of intuition on level with Tsuna's in battle, if not outside of a fight. He had seen the kid dodge to the side when a thug had shot at him from behind and then again when Reborn had fired off a shot himself. He had dodged every shot fired and all without knowing where they were coming from.

It was impressive.

Irritating that he was hiding so much though.

Especially when Reborn had started to doubt himself just a tiny bit when the kid didn't show anything of what Reborn had thought he was capable of.

He at first thought that the kid had a vice like grip on his abilities, something he begin to doubt as time went on.

But now he knew. The kid was holding back. Kept everything under such control that he could fool even spies about his abilities and limitations. Fury had no idea the power he held under his nose.

Reborn chuckled at that thought.

"Don't worry about what the report says." Reborn finally replied to Colonello. "It in inaccurate. No one knows that kid's true potential or limitations."

The blonde raised a brow at that, keeping his sniper rifle level with his eyes so that he could shoot in a moment's notice. "Not even you, Kora?"

"Not even me." Reborn agreed. "That kid is a whole lot smarter than even I gave him credit for."

Colonello chuckled at that but otherwise they both lapsed into silence. Both kept their guns ready to fire and both watched the other's back to make sure nothing happened. Though they acted like they despised each other, they actually were good friends.

They dared anyone to say it though.

"How much farther?"

"Nine hundred yards. Be ready."

Colonello was swept off of his feet while Reborn lost his fedora from the gust of wind that slammed into both of them. "What in all of Vongola was that!?" Colonello yelled out in horror, trying to take in the amount of Flames that were washing over the two ex-Arcobaleno.

"That was Tsuna and his Guardians." Reborn replied once the wind and pressure had ceased. "They must've summoned Odin."

Colonello nodded as he got up onto his own feet and followed the none fedora wearing Hitman. "What's the plan?"
"Hit Loki fast and hard. So fire as soon as you have a beat on him." Reborn commanded as he got to the entrance of where the flames had come from.

The two slowly made their way to the entrance of the dome, coming up and putting their backs against the wall and either on one side of the door. Reborn glanced at the blonde military man before both launched themselves into the room, guns pointing.

Only to gasp as a body slammed into the both of them, sending them sprawling onto the ground.

"Damn it! I'm not the enemy!" Spidey shouted as he jumped up off of the two hitmen and back at Odin, who just swatted at him like he was nothing more than a bug.

Spidey snarled and dodged the hit as he tried to get around the older man to get at Loki. "I doubt that bug." Odin said as he continued to swat at the hero with his spear. "I was summoned by those seven to attack you. That is the only reason I can see for I, the All Father, to be here."

"Look behind you!" Spidey snarled as he leapt backwards to avoid being stabbed through. "Loki is right there!"

"Loki!" Odin shouted in surprise as he looked over his shoulder to see said God of Mischief smiling at the two battling beings. "What have you done now?" He questioned exasperatedly as he turned to fully confront his son.

Loki just chuckled as he snapped his fingers and suddenly he was surrounded by the seven blue eyed teens. "Oh nothing. Just getting you away from Asgard so that I can kill you!" He announced before sighing and shrugging his shoulders. "But that'll have to wait until my pawns have recharged." He stated and then snapped his fingers. "This isn't over yet dear Odin."

With that they disappeared.

"NO!" Spidey yelled as he leapt at the place the god had just been before slamming his fist into the floor.

Colonello watched in awe as a ten by ten crater surrounded the teen, having to be at least three feet deep. "This kid is really letting go Reborn, Kora."

"He's losing the control he's practiced for so long just because of one person." Reborn explained calmly as Spidey kneeled in the crater, breathing harshly. "I feel bad for Loki when the kid catches up with him."
"It seems that Loki is causing trouble once more." Odin broke in, catching the attention of the group. "Forgive me for attacking you young warrior. I know not why Loki has summoned me and so I attacked the first person I saw, like I did long ago when I was first summoned here."

"Yeah, well you wasted time!" Spidey shouted as he stood up and walked over to the All Father. "For being the All Seeing All Knowing All Father, you know nothing of what's going on here! Especially when your son is kidnapping people and using them to summon your dumb ass here!" He shouted before he turned on his heels, jumped onto the ceiling, and took off.

"Well, it seems he's completely losing his temper, Kora."
"Ya think?" Reborn said before he turned to a stunned Odin. "Now then, Loki is after you to kill you and he's taken people from us and are using them like tools." He explained to the Father, gaining the God's attention. "We want our people back and to do that, we'll have to lure Loki out."
"Are you suggesting using a god as bait?" Colonello questioned with a raised brow, hefting his gun up onto his shoulder.

Reborn only smirked while Odin looked upon the mortals with a raised brow.
