Plan B
It was only shortly after midnight by the time Loki's forces had taken out all of their Earth Realm oppositions. They'd been beaten both in battle in addition to physically.
All the adult humans and dragons alike had been beaten to the point they're all bleeding with massive bruises and all were moaning with great agony, as they're now all being enchained with enchanted Goddess Ice shackles before they'd be transferred to Purgatory.
Loki's forces had yet to discover the Spirit Portal; but Loki's dark magic was by this time messing perilously with the rules that govern each of the Nine Realms as well as holding all the Nine Realms altogether, both physically and spiritually.
He either didn't know or more likely didn't care he was creating a serious problem by creating such an imbalance by means of his actions in addition to his dark magic so far.
That all the Realms' lifeblood was little by little being exhausted, that time itself bit by bit grinding to a stop eternally, and all of reality was falling apart at the seams with the dark magic he'd used thus far.
More to the point none of what he was doing right now to causes the major problems? It didn't discount whatsoever he'd been up to in secret for the past 23 years at what time no-one had seen hide or hair of him when he'd sowed the seeds of these evils in the first place!
He didn't comprehend at all the butterfly effect that one action had so many effects or so many countless unforeseen consequences that it was beyond the understanding of anyone. To either understand or to anticipate them all!
Nevertheless all he'd done one way or another was hurting one and all in all the Nine Realms. That also including himself and yet, in his irrational mind he neither realized this nor would he care if anyone told him the truth. That his actions would doom one and all including even causes his own death.
Though at the moment Loki's actions and their serious repercussion weren't on anyone's minds. Right now they'd tore holes in the fabric of reality which is how they planned to transfer their prisoners to Purgatory to be held.
This time that fell on Loki's firstborn son Jormungandr's extremely long serpent body to fulfill.
"You know what Father told you. Take the ugly human and go fill up Purgatory and wait there for further instructions. Don't dare disobey brother," warned Fenrir in a harsh but quick whisper.
"Can you quickly whisper me again the song to open up the darn place? For some reason even if she had such a poor voice Hel liked musical locks."
"Okay, it goes like this."
"Nighttime wears on, heightens passion evil wakes, and stirs images.
Silently, the senses abandon their defenses Helpless to resist the magic I cast.
For I control the magic of the Icefire!
Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendor grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender.
Hearing is believing, love is deceiving hard as lightning, soft as candlelight.
Dare you trust the magic of love? Close your eyes for your eyes will only tell the truth and the truth isn't what you want to see!
In the dark it is easy to pretend that the truth is what it ought to be softly, deftly, magic shall caress you hear it, fear it, and secretly possess you.
Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind this darkness which you know you cannot fight the darkness of the magic of the Icefire.
Close your eyes, start a journey to a strange new world Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before! Close your eyes and let magic set you free!
Only then can you belong to me Floating, falling, sweet intoxication,
Touch me, trust me, savor each sensation. Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in to the power of the magic that I cast.
The power of the magic of the Icefire! You alone can make the magic take flight!
Help me make the magic of the Icefire last!"
"Thank you, brother. Now you should go with the rest of the army and our father. We both know he suspects there is away from this horrid little island that will take him directly to Asgard."
"You and the behemoth along the rest of the minions allowed to you just get the prisoners locked up fast before they wake up. Don't test Father!"
"Will do. And you all better take Asgard faster than we took these silly islands!" and with that, the Midgard Serpent slithered off into a rip that tore a hole in Realms to get back to Helheim that only was gonna be open for exactly one minute.
Consequently, it was a good thing he could devour worlds and carry all the prisoners strapped forcefully to his back and slither speedily through that dimensional rip before it sealed itself. As they'd to hurry as that sleeping pollen keeping all the children in their comatose state would instantaneously wear off at the first ray of sunlight.
Therefore the enormous shaggy bluish gray scarred up wolf god put his nose to the ground and begin doing what wolves did best. Using their noses to sniff out things that were meant to be hidden.
It didn't take him very long to follow the scents that were all concentrating on the hidden cavern deep in the forest and then lead their forces down the concealed flight of stairs.
They in due course came to the hidden chamber at the bottom and unearthed something peculiar that they didn't know what it was. It was an extremely large stone archway with bizarre rune markings and a large dark purple veil wafting in a non-existed breeze.
They all looked confused at each other as they didn't know what it was. They all took one step closer and they were attacked by strange azure blue energy first and then as they were pushed further back the whole room became alive with traps!
This whole room was full of booby-traps! Both of magical and man-made nature and only in a matter of five minutes did the group manage to set them all off and were thinking it best to get out of here while they're still alive.
They're halfway up the stairs when their retreat was blocked by Loki who looked extra scary given his appearance. It was clear he'd recently been in a fight of sorts. His face had three long almost claw-like marks bleeding across it and it looked like someone had also landed a blow on his chin and the left eye.
"Where do all of you think you're going?" he hissed softly.
"Father, there is something down there, but we barely escaped with our lives! The risk is too great and not worth losing our lives for whatever is down there!" Fenrir pleaded.
"Everything and anyone is worth a risk. Even if it means someone loses their life it's worth the risk in the pursuit of restoring the natural order of things. NOW GET BACK DOWN THERE!"
And everyone made the way clear as Loki himself went down the steps with slow and precise steps to see what exactly was down there and the other followed.
Unlike the others who had no clue what that archway was Loki seemed to be like a cat that swallowed a canary the way, he alit with happiness. He knew what this was and how to use it.
"Well, well, if this is my lucky day. So this is the great secret of Berk? Have they a Spirit Portal? And that's how they can talk to their loved ones and have a direct connection to the gods?" he chuckled as he was playing with his staff merrily.
"Well, folks we don't have to worry about getting back to Helheim after we conquer Asgard. This is the ultimate shortcut and even overrides Bifrost!
Now, remember your training and the plan! Now if that damn clock tower I can hear even now is chiming the correct time it's 3:00 am. Devil Hour. How very appropriate for us to invade and lay siege to Asgard.
Let's go say hello to Odin, shall we?!" and then raising his staff he not only dispelled the room he and broke through and the security with one spell he sent directions on the portal.
And with that, they began to walk through the portal to their path to victory.
Aria and Spectrum were on guard duty as usual on the other side of the portal. It had been calm for most of the evening, however only a few hours ago Aria had become restless and she knew in her bones something was deathly wrong.
"Spectrum! Wake up! Something seriously wrong with our baby!" Aria woke her husband by singing the highest notes she could manage.
"What?! Sorry didn't mean to fall asleep. Been too long a day. You were saying, Aria?" he asked still half asleep.
"Our baby! Our son! Nightrainbow is trouble! I can't hear his heart's song in my heart anymore! I've heard his song in my heart every day since he hatched. That's how I've known he's happy and alright.
I can't hear it right now! Something wrong! He's in trouble! He's hurt and if he's hurt so is Una! Something is terribly wrong! We must go tell Odin and Frigga right now!" she pleaded with him with tears in her eyes.
"I trust a mother's intuition more than anything else in any of the Realms. Let's get going. Aww!" as he crumpled to the ground unconscious.
"Spectrum! Aww!" as she too crumpled into the unconscious.
"Well, well, so they leave a pair of Singers to guard the other side of these portals and not just any Singers. If I heard correctly these are the parents of little Una Haddock's dragon Nightrainbow. The last Aurora Borealis Singer. Well, well, it is my lucky day.
Bag them up, boys. If we found one Dragon of Legend parents the rest must be here. Look for the dragons with collars.
Now, remember at first be swift and silent. Do the unexpected and then hit them all you got. Bring as much carnage and chaos as you can. I want them to spread too far and thin and everyone in such chaos they don't know what hit them!"
"Understood, Father."
"Good. Now let's have a little fun! And remember we need this all done before the sunrises on Berk. Now go!" and off they went and they're twice as savage and more deadly then they'd just been on Earth.
Krashath was great at his job of causing all the dragons to go into a full-blown panic. His mere presence was enough to psyche them all out and cause enough pandemonium that almost all the dragon souls were render immediately useless by him.
And because it was the middle of the night even in Asgard no-one was expecting a sneak attack in the middle of the night either.
The Valkyries were riding their Reaping Mares to fight alongside the souls of the Villagers of Valhalla. Nevertheless, they're deliberately being spread too far and thin and their focus was being drawn in as many directions as possible.
Buildings were being smashed to smithereens and burned to ash, people were screaming in horror, the dragon souls were being ruthlessly assaulted and the Wilds of Valhalla were being charred to a crisp by Krashath as he got closer and closer to the DSS.
The Night Fury family, Yvaine, Draco, Stoick, Soulwings, and Kara were doing their best to lead the forces of Asgard and Valhalla to fight back.
While Deadly Siren was locked in her own battle with Fenrir to safeguard the Rainbow Bridge from him. As they dance their dueling dance they exchanged a song of battle with each other.
"What do you want?
I'm better than you'll ever be,
I've been dead a thousand years and only lived two or three …
I don't mind telling you, my life was ended by you,
The kind of murder where everybody dies, but I don't suppose you'd care…
Call of the search, I've found you
If I am a Deadly Siren, then you are criminals, and you should be killed by an army of little ones
The law can't arrest you, the world will detest you,
You always did everything, any creature wouldn't do.
I'm Deadly Siren, then you are criminals.
Even though I'm legal, I'm a just a dead, little girl.
But jagged and zigzagged and silver-blue.
Directed your actions, I perfectly understand…
So, it's my fault?
No, Deadly Siren
Thank you, kind sir
You made me what I am today: A bundle of broken nerves, a mouthful of words.
I'm still afraid to say, "I don't mind telling you, now that I'm old enough to love, I couldn't begin to, even if my pretty life depended on it!" and funny thing love does…
Call of the search, I've found you
If I am a Deadly Siren, then you are criminals, and you should be killed by an army of little ones!
The law can't arrest you, the world will detest you,

Even though I'm legal, I'm a just a dead, little girl.
But jagged and zigzagged and silver-blue,

So, it's my fault?
No, Deadly Siren…
Be our slave,
Be our ally,
Be out anti-Golden Age dream.
Be our slave,
Be our ally,
Be out anti-Golden Age dream.
Be our slave,
Be our ally,
Be our anti-Golden Age dream.
Be our slave,
Be our ally-
I am your worst nightmare, now scream…
Call of the search, I've found her…

So, it's my fault?
No, Deadly Siren" and they continued to sing this and do battle at the bridge for a long time while the rest of the battle raged on.
The other citizens of Asgard were little by little being drawn into the fighting. Didn't matter if they're just humble servants or everyday people all of them would burn on the same pyre of crimson and ebony firestorms that were rapidly sweeping their Realm.
Frigga, Freya, and Sjofn were all for the moment not a part of the fighting but didn't know how long they could stay out of it. They're in Frigga's bedroom with her husband awaiting him to tell them what to do.
"My love? What do you want us to do?" begged his wife as she looked as if she had seen the face of death itself.
Odin was twisting his Eye amulet in his hands and came to a quick decision. "Frigga get your enchanted chest and put the Tapestry in it immediately! Then keep it well hidden."
"Will do!" as she snatched a small strange glass and gold chest from her vanity and took off faster than anyone seen her ever run towards her tower."
"What do you wish of us, dear Odin?" Freya and Sjofn wanted to know desperately.
"Sjofn you must go and get the List of True Lovers and also make sure to guard it with your life. Freya go get the Love Orb and guard that with your life."
"Understood, but what are you going to do? I understand why the three of us must get the Tapestry, List, and Orb and guard them with our very lives, but what are you gonna do, oh great Odin?" Freya inquired curiously as she rushed to the door.
"I'm going to go wait for someone to pay me a visit. I know whose coming and he and I are overdue for a long chat. Now go!" he boomed loudly and the two other goddesses hurried from the room to get what they'd been ordered to get.
Odin then slowly made his way to his throne room to wait for who he knew was coming. He was old, but age breeds wisdom and he was one of the wise gods ever and he knew what this was all about at the core of everything.
So even as his city and the souls were falling to the dark forces and all he loved and held dear was being destroyed and defiled he sat perfectly still and waited. He just sat there and waited.
His patience paid off for it wasn't ten minutes after he came to his throne room that the door burst open by magical means and he saw someone he hadn't seen in over 20 years.
Azure blue eyes full of wisdom and love became locked on golden full ignorance and hatred. Two very different people for a few moments glared at each other neither one speaking nor really breathing.
One was a man for he had love within him. He cared for others and not just himself He comprehended the concepts of love, family, and friendship. What actually matters in life and death and everything that made one a human whether they be an actual human or not.
The other was a monster; a beast. He had not a shred of humanity in him. He cared for no-one but himself and had no comprehension of the concepts of love, family or friendship. He didn't understand what truly matters in life or death. Therefore didn't understand what made one human.
Finally after the moment stretch on too long and one of them had to break it. It was Odin who wasn't surprised at all to see Loki at all who chose to break the staring contest.
He simply said. "I knew you come. I knew you would return one day and this is the day."
Loki replied harshly while pointing both his staff and right pointer finger at him "It's time to settle the score, old man. It's time you, those humans and the rest of the Nine Realms pay for what they did! It's time to end this Age of Transformation and Enlightenment and restore the proper and natural order of things are supposed to be and always meant to be!"
Odin only shook his head before replying back simply "Life is constantly changing, that is one of two certainties. That death will happen to one and all and that life will always change.
You can't fight or change either fact, Loki. That is the natural order of things. Nor can you place blame on the rest of the Nine Realms for your daughter's choices she made for her own life!"
Loki snarled at these words and then said: "Watch me!"
And then there was a flash of royal purple energy and dark purple energy as a battle between the Lord of Asgard and the mad trickster began as the two of them duke it out.
A short time later once again was all of Asgard and Valhalla the same as their loved ones of Earth. Beaten, bloody and bruised as the Goddess Ice shackles were being locked on them.
All of them were wondering what they should do if they should wait or not for Loki when he came striding over. The look on his face was one long in coming.
"Come we will take the Spirit Portal and lock up everyone else in Purgatory and do it quickly. We have only one hour left before the sun rises on Earth. We want to make sure the prisoners are nice and cozy in their cells and we've had our fun before those pesky kids wake up, right?"
"Yes."
"Good, because I've two prisoners of my own to deal with," he whispered under his breath with a very cruel smile on his face. They activated the portal and took all their prison to be locked up in the Soul Prison of Purgatory and Loki only glanced back once to look at the fall of Asgard.
In only three hours it had gone from a shining utopia to a smoking bloody pile of ashes and ruins. It was so satisfying. Now everything was almost complete. With one final laugh, he left the ruins behind and walked through the portal still laughing at the sickness he had done.
