Prologue: A Mischievous Uprising

Earth-616's Orbit

BGM-Dragon Ball Xenoverse: Cutscene: Alternate Age

Floating on a lonely asteroid, unseen from the prying eyes of humanity, stands a horned-helmet man wearing golden armor, watching down on Earth in space, flaunting his green cape while holding onto his daunting scepter.

"Earth…" The man, who's not just an ordinary man, he is a god, a mischievous one at that. "This is the world the humans call "home". Paradise. Yeah, right." He chuckled. "How can they call this world "paradise" when they've been sullying it with war and constant bloodshed, for many millennia? We gods have granted them the divine gift of intellect, wisdom, yet they misuse it for their own misdeeds, eventually leading to their own destruction, and soon the gods themselves. What does my brother and Odin SEE in these mortals? Can't they tell they are dangerous? Untrustworthy? That their only purpose in life is to kneel before their better? I certainly know." He starts sounding a little menacing, as he starts to reminisce about a certain embarrassment he fell under a few months ago. A time where he was ambushed by the Green Goblin, infected by his goblin formula to turn into his personal slave. "To think it wasn't that long ago that I, Loki, God of Mischief, was humiliated by a mortal of a madman, and it's not the first time…" He summons magical images of his mortal adversaries out of thin air. "The Avengers. X-Men. SHIELD. Even a simple bug like Spider-Man has interfered in my affairs for far too long!" He said, slicing away the Spider-Man image like it's mist. "They must be dealt with. They, and the world they worked so hard to protect. Teach them discipline they will never forget."

"And you need my help for that?" A mysterious, demonic-like figure hides in the shadows of the asteroid, talking to his new partner in evil.

"Ahh, of course. That's why I came to you after all." Loki replied and starts walking towards his mystery man cloaked in darkness. "We both want to see humanity destroyed, hmm? With our powers combined, we can rule over our respective worlds. I can take over this Earth, then Asgard, rule them both as their king. And you get to play around in your world for as long as you want, without the other gods interfering."

"I've always dreamed of a worldwide playground filled with misery." He smiled. "Now, about those stones you spoke of." He puts his hand up in front of Loki.

"Here." Loki puts up his scepter, summoning about a dozen of strange white stones marked with weird symbols in his new partner's hand. "These are ISO-8 enhanced Norn Stones. If they accept you, you'll be granted TREMENDOUS power. This is my gift to you."

The mystery deity chuckles as he can feel power already growing to new heights. "Oh yes. It does feel good."

"But wait, there's more." Loki summons illusionary images of eight differently-colored stones.

"What are they?" The shadowy person asked.

"They are what the humans call the "Exo Stones", eight immensely powerful artifacts, each with their own unique ability, scattered across reality. Just one could bring the whole universe to your knees." Loki answered.

"Ooooo. Sounds delicious."

"The mortals of this realm already retrieved half of the stones. It's up to us to collect the remains. I must certainly thank them though." Loki smiled deviously as he walks back to the edge of the asteroid to watch over the Earth. "It's because of them the stones exist. I keep on forgetting just how useful the mortals can be, unintentionally. They will soon learn, the hard way, that only gods can rightfully command such power." The God of Mischief then thrusts his magical scepter to the air and starts charging up energy. "Come, my sworn ally! We have much work to accomplish! That way, we can return in time, to watch the world burn!" He said such a dark tone it got his new friend smiling widely before they are teleported to unknown locations.

KFX Here: For those curious, even though it's just a written story, Loki's costume is based off his MCU design, especially the one he wore in The Avengers. I should note that in this story, compared to Marvel Comic gods, the Kid Icarus gods are pretty weak. Still pretty powerful, but manageable if Pit can beat most of them. I doubt KI version of Zeus stands a chance against Marvel's Zeus.
