Saving the old heroes
Loki and his followers had locked all their prisoners up in a place that been named Purgatory. It had been mentioned quite frequently before but not truly explained where or what exactly it was. At the moment one and all was about to find out first-hand what this place in fact was and it was a nightmare eviler than the ones Loki used Hel's Crystal to fashion.
One would think with all the talk of Purgatory it must have been a place that would think be far away. However, surprisingly it was very close by it was in fact literally under their feet.
For the entrance to Purgatory was directly under Hel's throne room. To open it required one to sing a special song. It was noted by many or at least in the opinion of many, that Hel didn't have a great singing voice. Though when it came to a few special songs? she could really sing well especially when it came to evil and her own secret creations.
Purgatory exact location itself was in the heart of Helheim. Henceforth in the core of the Realm and the temperature, there was about at any given time be the equivalent in Earth temperature to -150 F! It would kill anyone living in an instant if they didn't have some form of magical protection.
When the entrance was opened a large hexagon shape of black ice worked like a magic elevator to take you from the throne down to the floor. From the floor to ceiling was a grand ice sculpture of how Hel saw herself in a beautiful and flawless vision.
It was very strange to note that this sculpture eerily similar someone that all on the side of good knew very well. There was a striking resemblance to Helena, Dagur's wife and Odyis's mother which was very odd and may not be the strangest of coincidence at the moment.
But when you got past the giant ice sculpture then came the layout of Purgatory itself. Which was a seeming never-ending labyrinth craved from blackish blue ice riddled with insanely cramped cells where the prisoners were to be kept.
Purgatory was designed to keep them always complete darkness with no sound other than their jailer magical voice coming in from time to time to belittle them.
The chains embedded in their flesh were incredibly painful as they're deprived of food, water, and sleep. And they made certain to keep everyone as far away from each other as possible.
What's more, their own life-force could be used as a power source to enhance the dark and evil magic of Loki. Their energy was going to be used to act as firewood to fuel his dark magic.
All this was being explained to everyone as they're waking up right now in their cells and already starting to feel the effects of their energy being drained. It was worse than the time everyone had felt when Berk had first encountered Dragon Flu.
"Hello, one and all and welcome to your new forever home. Purgatory. A little cozy place my daughter Hel created in her spare time. I hope you enjoy your accommodations.
Now let's get a few facts straight off the back. You are here to suffer and you will take it and accept the fact there is no hope and you have lost. Accept that fact now and we won't have any problems." Loki stated calmly as he walked as calmly through the prison with his hands clasped loosely behind his back.
"After all once your inane progenies are defeated and the realms are purged of your despicable Transformation and Enlightenment we can fashion a new Nine Realms without any of those malicious defamations of yours. A universe devoid of any love, family, friendship or anything of this bullshit you've spread that's putrefying it!"
"You won't ever accomplish taking away what we've spent our lives and gave our lives to accomplish freak! Get that through your thick skull right now you idiot!" snapped Aria and Spectrum in perfect harmony.
"Yeah, dream on and go drop dead yourself!" Yvaine and Draco snarled at Loki from wherever in the blackness they were.
"I hate to say this you crazy freak! But we never give up on hope! You can't take away someone's hope no matter what you try!" barked Luna Rose from wherever she was imprisoned.
"We haven't given up on hope and it's our faith in our family and friends that have gotten us through all the trials and tribulations both on Earth and in Asgard and Valhalla.
So not even this horrible place is gonna break us!" cried out another female voice defiantly that seemed to be followed by large powerful wing blast that didn't do anything to help them. But it did rattle the silence.
It was then they realized it was Cloudwings who had spoken and she was a symbol of hope and faith in and of herself. Being a hybrid and also carrying the blood of a Blue Spiritwing.
"You better silence those tongues of yours now!"
"You should know us better than that, Loki! You can't shut up any of us! Not one person here will shut up. We will do whatever it takes to make your life a misery and keep the faith and hope bright.
Trying to shut any of us up or trying to break us will be impossible! Have you and your stupid Council of Evil learned nothing?" Kara spat from wherever he had her locked up.
"Yeah, you can knock us down a thousand times," Hiccup started strongly and then Boden called out, "You can take everything of materialistic value away, "But as long as we have breath in our body and reason to fight and live we will keep on fighting!" cried out Una finished with great passion.
"And there no greater reason in life or death to keep fighting then love! Love for friends! Love for family! Love for your true love! Love for love itself!" cried Stoick and Valka together with the same burning passion they'd shared their whole lives together.
"So go right ahead! Do whatever you wish to any of us! Torture us! Beat us! Kill us! Doesn't matter! Because unlike you we have something worth fighting and dying for and we will do that for all time! No matter how many times we have to do it!" roared Toothless and Moon Shadow with such venom in their voices it surprised their hidden siblings they would dare say that.
"We are all in this together till the end! We may be of two worlds but we will always be one family!" Stardust and Nightrainbow declared proudly into the darkness.
"So do your worst we are ready for it!" everyone challenged him at once.
His calm demeanor seemed to break down a little at these words and he yelled loudly for his sons.
"Yes, Father?" they asked him as they came to his side but it was clear they're scared to death of him.
"I want you two to make them all suffer slowly. Draw it out as long as possible till they are begging for you to stop. Make it as painful and as creative as you can get. But draw it out slowly as possible."
"Yes, Father, but what about you?"
"I've business upstairs to take care of. Don't let anyone disturb me or they can be thrown in a cell down here. The rest of the army can get ready for the eventual arrival of the so-called Next Generation Riders!" he snapped and he left in a furious huff.
"Well, Fenrir you got any ideas?" inquired Jormungandr in confusion to his little brother who looked just as stumped.
"Not sure but I'm sure big brother we can think of something." And with that, the torturing commenced.
Loki took his time going through the Citadel take in the small details of his eldest child home and how she seemed again to try cover up the ugliness with a vain attempt at beauty.
He, at last, came to the room that had been her bedroom. A room that no-one had been allowed in ever even when she'd occupied this Citadel. It had been frozen shut with ice so thick there was no hope to melt it not even with dragon fire.
But now he simply raised his staff and the frozen doors melt as if they'd been under a thousand suns and walked right into his daughter's bedroom taking in the details of the chamber really for the first time.
When Hel had lived here she'd decorated her home with pretty trinkets or stolen designs from other Realms in hopes of making her home beautiful. Only to always seem to fall short for some reason.
No-one, not even Hel herself had understood why at the time even with all these beautiful objects and designs her house never looked beautiful or felt like a home. Though when she left she may've figured out why.
But as for her own bedroom? She had gone over the top to make the bedroom beautiful. Working extra hard her with her own hand to combine her icy magic with countless bits and pieces she'd created herself she'd decorated her bedroom.
So in truth, this was truly the one beautiful room in all the Citadel that felt beautiful and like a home. What had made it truly beautiful was the fact since she'd actually put her heart into making it her own space without stealing anything that's what made it beautiful inside and out.
Though right now there were two people who bound and gagged struggling Hel's beautiful queen-sized bed with an ice blue silk canopy. They didn't look at all relaxed on the swan feathered mattress or silk pillows.
They looked terrified and were fighting to get free. For the two people being held prisoner here in this bedroom were Helena and her daughter Odyis! They're shackled up better good and gagged up better good too.
Odyis looked very frightened as she clearly had no idea what or why she and her mother had been just kidnapped by the God Loki or why he was holding them as his personal prisoner.
All she could recall was she'd been faster asleep awoken by someone breaking the door and what sounded like a demon speaking though she been too groggy to hear what they'd said. All she knew her mother was screaming and clutching her tightly.
They'd no time to reach for any weapons and her daddy Dagur wasn't around for some reason and while her mother had been able to claw at Loki with her long fingernails and land some punches on him they were still taken by him when he used that staff of his.
There had been blackness and now she'd woken up in this strange bedroom with frozen shackles and gagged next to her mother and now that mad God was back. And all she could do was wonder was why? What did he want with them?!
Holding up his staff her mother was levitated off the bed and pulled towards him and he ripped the gag off her mouth and while smiling cruelly his free hand shot out and gripped her throat as he began to strangle her.
Odyis began screaming through her gag and tears ran down her face pleading and begging him to stop. To spare her mommy as she was turning blue as he was trying to take away her life.
It was only when it was one moment from being too late that he stop and dropped her and she lay gasping for breath. Standing over her limp and breathless body Loki then delivered a powerful kick to her abdomen and kept at it as again Odyis screamed through her gag and tears wanting it to stop.
"I'm gonna make you feel every blow of pain you made me feel at the hands of your betrayal. Each blow to me, your family and the Council you will feel each blow for your betrayal.
I want to make sure you feel it and remember it so you know how stupid and foolish you were for your betrayal and that your pain is not your own. That your decision now hurts someone else and I'll make sure she sees and feels the blows too.
So she must suffer in the punishment of your betrayal too."
Helena held back both the screams and tears as the assault continued on her. She only seemed concerned about Odyis and for a moment between the blows manage to cry out to her child.
"Odyis, close your eyes! Don't watch this! Please close your eyes!" she begged her daughter. Odyis want to help her mother and couldn't look away from her being hurt and Loki knew it.
"You can end her suffering and stop your own and you know how. She doesn't have to watch you. So sallow your pride and say the magic words! You know what to say to stop it!
You know what I'm waiting to hear. So say it! Say it! And I'll stop. All you have to do to end the suffering for yourself and her is just say "Daddy, stop it!" and I'll stop."
"No," Helena snarled in defiance glaring her flashing eyes rapidly going from green to blue and back again. "I'm not gonna give you the satisfaction of hearing me beg, Loki.
That's what you really want. To hear me beg and feel like you have control over me once more. Well, I won't give you back that control! Not even for this! I'll never be your slave again!"
"You really gonna be let defiance be your last breath even with a child in the room?"
"You don't understand what it means to be a parent, Loki!"
"Well, I'm gonna break you one way or another. And sooner or later you will submit to me!" as the torture continued in that bedroom as the horrors only continued to rise.
Back on Berk, the sun itself had finally begun to rise itself it was only a sliver and the funny thing was it just stayed that way. Just the beginning of sunrise. It was like it was stuck.
But it was enough sweet sunrays to undo the effects of the Sleeping Serpent pollen and instantly all NGS and the remaining children and hatchlings awoke to the bloody carnage nightmare that Loki had left behind for them.
Everyone had bloodless faces with jaws that hit the ground when they got outside and realized something somehow took place and they had been somehow unaware of it.
They didn't have time to wonder how they slept through it they had to think about the rest of the younglings and securing the island and checking the Spirit Portal.
The ten Haddocks and their dragons immediately took command and had swift orders from the others.
They commanded the Soul Riders children to round up the younglings and get them all in the Nursery as for now, that was the most secure location they'd left.
Destin and Embla were to check on the security system and get the backup generation online to re-arm the island and other automated defenses.
Oili, Runa, Merida, and Harris were to go to Emergency Island and get all the emergency supplies that the young ones would need and transfer them immediately to the Nursery.
Falcon and Eureka had to go gather up the best weapons that remained in the armory whilst Haldor, Hertha and Jary gathered up whatever useful tools and supplies they'd salvage and find to use for the inevitable upcoming battle.
Tove, Unn, Mercury, and Emerald were to head ASAP to check out the Spirit Portal and report back their finding.
For some reason, Odyis wasn't there and that sent them on edge but they had to shove it aside for the moment.
Breena and her brothers had to use their powers to try and seek out casualties with their heart power so they could heal them and pick up memories while doing it.
Edyis was busy using all her empathic powers to attempt to absorbed and understand both the human and dragon emotions and thoughts left behind and told her little brothers to use their astral projection powers to check other parts of the island to cover more ground of the island that way.
Freja was attempting to get visions of what happened last night clearly as she was usually able to summon a vision of past or future. Gyda was being used to sense for any more danger as her danger sense was the acutest of all the girls and Siri was looking around for trigger objects as she was the best at reading them. Vali was attempting to find the residual energy and turn the bad guys thought energy into what he could read.
An hour later they're regrouping at the arena all of them were on pins and needles. Despite it been an hour since they'd woken up the sun hadn't changed its position nor had they heard from Odyis yet and it was starting to creep them out.
"Well, what does everyone have to report?" Breena asked in a near hysterical voice to rest of the Next Generations.
"The rest of the young ones are unharmed and currently safe and secure in the Nursery, Breena. Though they are all school age children as you are currently the oldest child on Berk." Whitley informed her swiftly but he was clearly shaken up.
"We did our best to calm all the children and dragons down which wasn't easy as they all wanted their mommies and daddies and there aren't even Rookery Aunts down there to help out.
The best we could do to settle them down was tell them a few stories and make sure they had enough snacks and that the oldest dragons who are about six years old could watch over them. Along with making sure the security system was armed." Esme also added in a shaken tone.
"We gave them all a small dose of a calming draft that our mothers learned from our great-grandmother and that at least as quelled the panic somewhat. It the best we can do for them down there." Buttercup and Daisy relayed about the only solution they were able to do.
"Well, it's better than nothing as long as they are safe and somewhat calm. Did you at least give them all the emergency supplies they will need to last them?" turning to the other group.
"We've got them from the largest stockpile we good all they would need to outlast that freeze that brought the Speed Stinger here when our parents were kids. It should be more than enough," Oili and Runa replied back confidently.
"They most likely won't needed it if we don't stop the evil anyway. It won't matter you do know that, right, Breena?" Merida retorted.
"Yeah, if we don't stop COE it won't matter either way!" Harris also emphases big time.
"I know, I know! Gods! I know! As long as it gets them by while we plan an attack that's all we need for now!" she yelled to the skies angrily.
"I'll take over for now with asking what's going on cousin. You need to calm down," Edyis took over and looked at the next group with as much authority as she could muster.
"Now were you all able to get my father's backup generator up and running so we do have power and the automated defense are working?" she questioned to the son and daughter of those head of Berk security forces.
"Yes, we are running on emergency power, but we still have power from the backup Dragon Life-force System," Destin answered honestly.
"But? What's the but?"
"We saw something else we've to worry about that many miles away but it's something like a Death Rain! It's extremely far off, but it's sucking the very life out of everything it touches!" Embla exclaimed frantically.
They all paled and the cousin elaborated. "It was amazing for even our keen sight and hearing but it's farther then we are normally able to sense but it's a Death Rain and it's having catastrophic effects and literally bringing death to all it touches!"
"This is bad. Do you have an estimation of time of arrival or what is causing it? Or if this is an isolated incident?" Edyis wanted to know.
"It's surely not an isolated incident and its very bad news for the whole cosmic tree Yggdrasil!" Tove and Unn shouted loudly.
"What do you mean?" demanded Hiccup's sons in fearful voices.
"The tree is being poisoned, like a blight, it's being rotten from the inside out. The COE actions are having their own butterfly effect that causing the tree to shrivel up in different spots and slowly die." Tove explained.
"It's happening rapidly and at random spots at different times but it is spreading like a plague and it got to the point can't you feel and see the biggest thing that been done right now? Time has stopped!" yelled Unn pointing to the horizon.
And they realized, in fact, everything had been frozen for over an hour. "So everything the Council of Evil done is now killing and causing such an imbalance that all of the Realms are dying?!" cried Brant and Erico in utter shock.
"Is that not what we are feeling and you see with your memory powers?!" shrieked Garth and Geir to their cousins as if they're idiots.
"Well, could you make sense of it either?!" they shouted back in irritation and their sisters got between them. "Dear little brothers not the time to be fighting amongst ourselves for the limits of our powers!"
"We've more bad news to add that," Eureka started to say and turned to Falcon who sighed. "We checked the armory and it was hit pretty badly by the attack last night. We don't have a lot of weapons left our disposal to mount a major offense at the COE."
"And the salvage of we were able to get around the village wasn't a lot either. Sorry to tell you that as well. Here what useful items we were able to find." Haldor and cousins threw three small sacks of odds and ends of what might be useful material in front of the Haddocks.
"Okay, does anyone have anything good to contribute right now?" Breena asked the group in a sarcastic manner.
Not getting her was being sarcastic Mercury and Emerald excitedly said, "We discovered we have a strange new power. Want to see it?!" and before anyone could say anything there was a flash of blue and green light and where the twins had stood were now two ravens!
But the ravens had blue and green markings on their foreheads, breast, and tails like the twins' hair and clothing! They flew around a bit and acted a bit like normal pesky ravens before landing on the two blue Nightmares' horns and in another flash of light where the twins again!
Everyone was taken aback for a few moments and just all kind of said collectively
"What in the name of Odin just happened and when did you learn to do that?!"
"We got thrown from our dragons when we're racing check out the Spirit Portal," Mercury started to explain and then his sister Emerald finished and it like instinct took over as we're tumbling through the air about to hit the rocks and trees and bam!
The next thing we knew we had beaks and feathers and suddenly we flying with our own wings! It was all so natural like we knew everything about how to be a raven, to begin with!"
"Okay? How did you figure out how to become human again? Since our Dad didn't know how to return to his body the first time he astral projected and had to guess it?" Garth reminded the group.
"We just sorta wish to be human again and well we were human again." Mercury gave a shrug as if that explained this whole thing.
While they're dealing with this surprise they got another one as someone they weren't expect came flying in with what sounded like dying breaths.
Looking up they saw it was Spirit and by the looks of it she was dying! "Spirit! Come on brothers! We are all gonna have to work together to heal her! Hurry! Remember we can't heal what is fatal!" yelled Breena as Hiccup's children hurried over to the dying Gronckle.
Remembering all their father had taught them about using their healing powers they began to work on healing the young Gronckle from the inside-out. It was a long process but they manage to save her life in the nick of time.
"Thank you, all of you. I really thought I'd die. And without being able to tell anyone what happened to Odyis and her mother."
"What?! What happened to Odyis and Helena? Where they capture with the rest of the adults? We've been able to determine that the COE attack last night and someone incapacitates all the children and overpowered the adults and took them, prisoners.
But we don't know on they were taken or how we incapacitated," Breena started to say when her cousin Freja interrupted.
"Actually I and my siblings can answer all that if you let us quickly," taking a deep breath she spoke quickly because even though time had stopped it wasn't on their side.
"Once all were asleep on the islands part of the COE led by Mommy's old foe Viggo used some kind of substance and filled every child bedroom with rending us comatose."
"I found a disregard petal of this flower. It's called a Sleeping Serpent. It's a powerful sleeping powder the pollen. The flower effects only work under the light of the moon. Even the new moon when only the moon's shadow's shown makes no difference.
But eating the petals makes you immune to the powerful sleeping effects. But once you are exposed to the pollen nothing will wake you up except the light of the sun. Absolutely nothing." Siri replied.
"The danger was given our parents and grandparents had been purposely weakened by those nightmares they hadn't shared with us to make them vulnerable. So it was a perfect way to lure them into a trap." Gyda explained in an eerily calm way.
"A trap of truly devious and twisty mind. I was able to pick up the residual thoughts left at our front door. Someone planted a deadly letter on our front door that sent everyone into a panic and called for a code Blood Red and then a dark twist demonic dragon mind came into play.
With all the panicked thoughts, lack of sleep and caught in the middle of the night and we incapacitated they had no chance of defending themselves or beating the COE army." Vail said in a sad but knowing way.
"And neither did Asgard as if they took Berk we can assume they've already take Asgard and Valhalla too as they wouldn't waste time. If they're on that much of high of taking the Earth Realm they go straight on to Asgard with the Spirit Portal ungraded and take it too!" Freja finished explaining what the four siblings had been able to deduce.
"This is bad, very bad."
"It's much worse than you think. It's worse than bad. Especially if who I think came to our home last night and abducted Odyis and her mother last night and nearly murder me!" Spirit drew the attention back to herself.
"Why?! Who attack you and what did they want with Helena and Odyis? Who came last night?" they all demanded.
"We were all sounded asleep and then the doors were blasted off their hinges. Odyis and I are both heavy sleepers so it takes a while for us to wake up. But Helena woke up with a start and was screaming and trying to grab Odyis and escape.
Someone with a soft, silky but creepy voice called out from the shadows and I think he said, for it was most certainly a man voice he called out. "Oh, hello, darling Daughter of mine! Guess what? Daddy decided to come by for a visit!"
"Daddy?!" They all exclaimed in confusion and Spirit nodded and continued on. "Helena was just screaming as if death was coming and just grabbed her daughter and looking for a weapon but there was none.
So we were just running trying to escape the man. I tried to buy the time to escape but he wasn't a man I soon realized. When I turned to face him I realized this wasn't a human, this was a GOD."
"A GOD?!"
"Yes, and not any god. He may look a bit different from the stories about him but I think anyone can tell who Loki is."
"LOKI?!"
"Yes, it was Loki and he was dead set on doing great harm to Helena and her child. I wasn't about to let that happen. We battle for a few moments but as you can see he wasn't about to let anyone stand in his way of getting to them.
He was in such a murderous rage he used both his hands and this incredibly powerful dark magic to take me within in an inch of my life. Then he had Helena cornered on the stairs and she was still screaming while clutching Odyis tightly.
As he advances to her she lashed out with her long fingernails and he screamed in pain as she got him good in face as he was bleeding blue blood she raced for the door but he manages to recover and advance again and she threw two punches landed two blows on him nearly busting his jaw and giving him quite a shiner on his left eye.
But he finally overpowered them and knocked them both out and he was smiling so creepy and he magically shackled and gagged them before making this rip in what appeared in the thin air and levitated them through it and left.
"None of that makes sense!" half the group said at first in great confusion. "Why would Loki go to all the trouble of taking everyone else out and making sure none of the other NGR could help?
But of all people on the COE hit list, he personally goes after Dagur's family? What could he possibly want with them?!"
But the intelligent minds of the Haddocks had made the connection as the answer was plain as day. "It's because it was personal. It's all been right there in front of us the whole time and we've been so busy focusing on the one we've totally overlooked the other!"
"What are you talking about?!" the dragons all asked but it was slowly dawning on the children.
"It is too easy to focus on the one and overlook the other! Oh, we are all dolts! And you and I are supposed to be so smart with strategy and creative planning and yet we could see what Loki was planning with this!" Whitley looked at Esme who also was hitting her head against the stone wall.
"Yeah, I feel like a total idiot on this!"
"Care to fill us in what you two are blaming yourselves for not figuring out sooner?" asked the flower twins who were still a little slow on the uptake.
"The Council of Evil has had many agendas, but for Loki's his main objective has been driven by revenge and betrayal. And him placing blame on our families for the loss of his own family member." Eureka explained in the way her name was often stated and turned to her cousins.
"Our runes stones did tell us once that there had been a betrayal at one time in COE," Merida did remind them. "And it was deep and a personal betrayal, though we never knew the identities of who was betrayed who and what really went down," Harris answered.
"But I can tell you based on my mother and uncle's people as Berserkers you don't just walk away from your family or your people without getting a target on your back.
Plus you should be expecting the head of your house wanting to exact revenge for you leaving no matter the reasons. Especially a father since no-one is supposed to go against the man of the house.
That's like the ultimate act of both disrespect and betrayal in almost every man eyes'!" Falcon's voice resonance loudly about what crime had gone down at least in Loki's mind from his POV.
"There's been more than enough clues to put this puzzle together and we've been so caught up with the attacks and training and trying to become the Next Generation Riders we have missed what the Leader of the Council of Evil been after all this time!" Oili and Runa really felt bent out of shape for this one.
"Don't feel too bent out of shape. Our own powers and other responsibilities were just as important how could we focus on the tiny hints and still do our expected job of trying to protect our home, the Spirit Portal, and the other Realms?" Tove asked and her sister/cousin also added.
"We had to grow and learn and I guess you're not meant to realize everything at once as Odyis didn't realize it either."
"But we should've got it sooner especially after Helena and Dagur practically spelled it out after the camping trip!" yelled Haldor, Hertha, and Jary in frustration.
"Well, we did have other things on our minds and when your minds are consumed with the problems at hand things like that are gonna be pushed to the back and forgotten." Destin pointed out sensible.
"Even with our keen eyes and ears, we can overlook some important details." Embla concurred with her cousin.
"The point is we've finally got what Loki's motivation is in all this. But does that mean our mom is well different too? As she came along with Helena? And we can talk to birds and turn into them?" Mercury and Emerald wanted to know.
"I think we'll answer that question later about your parentage. It's not that it's not important, Mercury and Emerald. But we are trying to deal with the fact right now Helena is, in fact, Hel's human form and that makes Odyis's Loki's granddaughter!
And who knows what that monstrosity gonna do to both of them?!" all ten Haddock children all said in unison.
And with that everyone kind of let out the big breath they'd been holding as it just been said.
Some huge secret that they should've realized sooner. But now was not the time to focus on that. They'd to come up with a plan quickly with a plan to stop Loki and save all the Nine Realms or everything would end up in oblivion as in non-existence.
Back in Purgatory, everyone was being subjected to a number of tortures of countless natures. Anything and everything to torture them physically, mentally, emotionally, psychologically.
Any trick in the book they could possibly come up with was done simultaneously to as many souls within the Soul Prison walls. Anything to break them and sometimes they had two different kinds of tortures going on at once.
One could use their imagination and anything that ever could possibly be conceived as a torture of some kind was being thrown at all the souls of the Earth and Asgard.
Nevertheless, come hell or high water they're all kept being strong-minded, optimistic in addition to defiant. They refused to break. All they kept doing was going on and on with their abductors about what they're doing was wrong. How their actions were dooming everything and everyone including themselves.
They continuously were laying emphasis on precisely why Transformation and Enlightenment were so crucially imperative. The truths they'd realized and why the significance of family, friends, and love were the keys to both life and death.
They just kept speaking about it and those who weren't being tortured for the time being were singing vociferously. They're proudly singing a song to torture their captures still trying to get the message across about what they really needed to hear.
"WITH ALL THE JOYFUL COLORS OF A RAINBOW AND OUR VOICES RIDING THE WIND OUR DREAMS REACH OUT TO WHERE LOVE, HOPE, AND FREEDOM CAN BE FOUND.
EVERY WORD OF OUR STORIES WILL BE TOLD ONE DAY TO EVERY STAR IN THE SKY AND EVERY CORNER OF CREATION WILL ONE DAY HEAR US AND YOU WILL FACE JUSTICE AT LAST!
FOR AS LONG AS WE SHALL LIVE WILL BELIEVE IN LOVE, HOPE AND FREEDOM. WE MAY'VE BEEN SILENT WITNESSES TO YOUR CRIMES AND OUR WORDS MAY NOT BE HEARD ENOUGH.
BUT WE SWEAR WITH EVERY SPIRIT BREATH WE TAKE WE'LL PRAISE THE GODS AND TO HOPE ABOVE FOR AS LONG AS WE LIVE WE SHALL BELIEVE IN LOVE, HOPE AND FREEDOM ABOVE!
TO THE MOUNTAINS AND THE VALLEYS TO THE RIVERS AND SEAS TO WE REACH OUT OUR HANDS KNOWING ONE DAY SOMEONE'S HANDS WILL REACH BACK AND BRING US PEACE!
ONE DAY THERE WILL COME MECRY ONE DAY YOUR ICY KINGDOM WILL FALL. ONE DAY ALL THE HOPE WE'VE HELD IN OUR HEARTS WILL SPEAK TO ALL TO SHOW YOU WHAT LOVE HAS DONE FOR US ALL.
FOR AS LONG AS WE SHALL LIVE WILL BELIEVE IN LOVE, HOPE AND FREEDOM. WE MAY'VE BEEN SILENT WITNESSES TO YOUR CRIMES AND OUR WORDS MAY NOT BE HEARD ENOUGH.
BUT WE SWEAR WITH EVERY SPIRIT BREATH WE TAKE WE'LL PRAISE THE GODS AND TO HOPE ABOVE FOR AS LONG AS WE LIVE WE SHALL BELIEVE IN LOVE, HOPE AND FREEDOM ABOVE!
FOR AS LONG AS WE SHALL LIVE WILL BELIEVE IN LOVE, HOPE AND FREEDOM. WE MAY'VE BEEN SILENT WITNESSES TO YOUR CRIMES AND OUR WORDS MAY NOT BE HEARD ENOUGH.
BUT WE SWEAR WITH EVERY SPIRIT BREATH WE TAKE WE'LL PRAISE THE GODS AND TO HOPE ABOVE FOR AS LONG AS WE LIVE WE SHALL BELIEVE IN LOVE, HOPE AND FREEDOM ABOVE!
TO HOPE ABOVE FOR AS LONG AS WE LIVE WE SHALL BELIEVE IN LOVE, HOPE AND FREEDOM ABOVE!
TO HOPE ABOVE FOR AS LONG AS WE LIVE WE SHALL BELIEVE IN LOVE, HOPE AND FREEDOM ABOVE!"
It was enough to drive the captures away for an hour as they couldn't take it any longer and needed a break. Finally, the prisoners were able to talk and quite a lot was talked about.
Between family members getting reconnected from both sides to give each other the strength they needed when their captors came back down for their next round of torture finally it came clean to all down in Purgatory two secrets.
One was what everyone had by now figured out on their own anyway. That the screaming upstairs that penetrated this far was Helena who they all figured out was in fact Hel.
They didn't ask for full details but simply got the short version of the story. That she'd accepted Transformation and Enlightenment, fallen in love with Dagur and with the help of Odin and Frigga become human, took the name Helena and well what she'd done for the past 23 years everyone knew.
The other shocking secret was the fact her friend and confident Raven Broadwing was, in fact, a real raven given human form assigned as a bodyguard to watch over her and this shocked Snotlout that he'd fallen in love and married a bird!
She called out to her husband did it really matter that she'd hatched from an egg and was born with feathers and beak or did he love her for her and their children? Even if they could talk to birds and she knew yeah they could transform into them as well?
Did love have no limits and boundaries and nothing else matters but the heart of the one you loved?
And Snotlout showed just how much he'd been Transformed and Enlightened yelled back he did love his wife and children and while he may need time to digest the news he still loved them all regardless.
So that's what was going on down in the Soul Prison while they're getting a break from being tortured.
Meanwhile, it seemed there was also a lack of progress upstairs in Hel's bedroom as Loki continued to beat up poor Helena while her daughter Odyis was forced to watch helplessly.
"I grow tired of your resist, Daughter. It's time you resumed your true form and make this easier on yourself. Do you wish the little one to suffer more?"
"This is my true form!" she spat back at him. "And I'll do all I can in my power to resist you. I will never be controlled by you again! And you can do whatever you want to me.
But if you have the audacity to touch a hair on my daughter's head then you'll be the one who will be in trouble, Loki!" she snarled at him with such hatred in her flashing eyes if looks could kill he be a smoking pile of ashes right now.
His golden eyes narrowed and he finally said. "If you will not willingly do as I've asked then I'll just make you do it!" and with that, he blasted her with a powerful blast of dark magic that made her feel like her insides were being put through a meat grinder.
It was the worst scream she let out yet and it was the most traumatizing thing Odyis had been exposed to thus far and when the light had faded what fell to the floor wasn't Helena. It was Hel has she had looked before her Transformation.
A half corpse blue-skinned woman in a tattered unfashionable dress with lackluster bluish-white hair.
And then magically the gag around Odyis's mouth was finally removed and she let out screams and cries and finally cried out. "What did you do to my mommy?! Mommy! Mommy!"
"You are so stupid, child! I didn't do anything to your mother. This is your mother. Your real mother. May I introduce my daughter Hel of Helheim?" Loki mockingly said as he yanked Hel to her feet by grabbing her hair and forcing her to face the child.
And Odyis could see for herself despite the new form it was her mother's face and eyes looking back at her and she also knew who the man was who'd kidnapped them and made her sick to know who he was.
"Let me tell you a story about your mother. And it's a true story and it's all about who your mother really is, my granddaughter!" he addressed her as he held the bloody and bruised Hel tightly as she could barely breath let alone speak.
"Your mother is my daughter and eldest child. She is the sister to Jormungandr and Fenrir and she was once the ruler of Helheim and Leader of the Council of Evil.
She was Daddy's Little Girl! She loved to do all kinds of evil things and she found great joy in the suffering of others! She had all kinds of fun like stealing pretty objects from others, creating the Black Ice Nightmare Crystal, building the soul prison Purgatory where everyone else is currently being held, and she did so many evil acts on my behalf the Council of Evil.
She made so many generations suffer from countless malicious acts. So many writhed in great pain, agony and even died at her hands! Oh, you were the perfect daughter at one time!" he hissed into his daughter's left ear as he held the staff at her neck.
"Yes, you were the perfect child and my favorite. Then what did you do? You betrayed me! You betrayed your family! The Council! Everyone and everything! And for what?!
You choose to join the enemy and marry a human?! It's bad enough to join the enemy but to become a human and marry one? And then have a child with one?!" He was now glaring at Odyis and what he was feeling or thinking she wasn't entirely sure.
"Your mother is in truth is an evil monster as that's what she was born to be and do. But her actions make her nothing but a traitor and filth. That's what you're born from. Evil, treason and filth, granddaughter."
"That's not the whole story, Odyis." Hel finally had regained her strength and looked at her daughter who was very traumatized but could see love and courage in her mother's eyes and hear it in her voice.
"There more to me and you then this monster could possibly realize. And there more to the story of my life than just what he says," as she turned to glare at Loki.
"Yes, I'm truly Hel and Loki's daughter but only by birth not by choice. As I told him long ago. I had no father or family when I made the choice to have a life of my own."
"When you betrayed us!"
"NO! When I chose to finally live! Not remain dead anymore! I was never a daughter to you! Only a tool just as those who were once my brothers and are who your sons are!
We are not your children! We are your minions! Your slaves and tools! You never loved us! We are not family to you! You have no idea what family or love is! We are not family of love or blood!
While you reject change and what it brings I saw the truth of what Hiccup and his siblings were brought to the Nine Realms and what was so important about the turning point they brought.
What true Transformation and Enlightenment was! That I could decide my own fate and be whoever I wish to be! That no-one could tell me who to be or what to do!
I had the power to decide my own fate and destiny! That family, friendship, and love are what matter in life and death! And a thousand other truths you will forever deny!
I found happiness and love and found what it means to live!" turning to face her daughter she told her what really changed her.
"When Hiccup and his siblings finally figured out how to work the Spirit Portal and met with the Gods for the first time and it was decreed that the Souls could come for supervised visits on approved days the Gods themselves came for the first Dragon Race visit.
I snuck away to join them. I met your father that day and it was love at first sight for us. We were both thorny roses. Beautiful but with thorns that made us hard to understand and sharp.
I slowly started to spend more time with those on Berk and slowly began to become more human till I really became truly human and then Dagur and I wish to marry.
But I had to do a few things before that could happen. I first had to settle things here. I sealed off this Citadel of mine hoping it never ever could be used for evil again and destroyed all my evil items.
I made plans for New Helheim and left my old Imps and Seeds of Evil now Spirits and Seeds of Hope in charge of watching over it and my duties here.
Then just before the ceremony to become human I confront my father about choice and well you can see for yourself he didn't take it well."
"You betrayed me!"
"I told you my reasons and why I was leaving! And if true love and friendship wasn't good enough for you, then wanting to live and breathe should've been!
"You just sang that stupid song time me after saying that ridicules stuff!"
"Oh, you mean this song?"
"I walk alone in a place unknown
My old home is far away
Though I tried hard to belong there
In that place, I couldn't stay
I played my role, the perfect queen I had to be
But there's no place there for someone like me
Don't let your heart control your head
There are words that should be left unsaid
Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know
Well, now they know!
Let it show, let it show
Now my heart's an open door
Let it show, let it show
I can't hide it anymore I don't care
What they'll say about me
Feel the strength of love
Emotion is the key to my liberty
I kept my feelings hidden
Contained by lock and key
Now, at last, the doors are open
And my heart has broken free
The mask has fallen from my face
My hopes and dreams I will embrace
There's no one here to tell me 'no.'
Here I go!
Let it show, let it show
I am free to laugh and cry
Let it show, let it show
To the past, I'll say goodbye
Forgive, forget
Move on, be free
Feel the strength of love
I feel emotion flooding through my every vein
My heart is heavy with the weight of all my fear and pain
I have to break away so I can learn and grow
I've been holding back too long
It's time to let it go!
Let it show, Let it show
Hold my heart out in my hand
Let it show, Let it show
Spread my love across the land
With open eyes
A brighter world I see
Feel the strength of love!
Emotion is the key to my liberty!"
"You surely didn't pay attention to it back then before you tried to murder me and the Valkyries and Odin had to arrest you. It wasn't enough they exiled you from Asgard! But making you a wanted criminal in the other Realms with a huge bounty hasn't changed you either!
You still don't get what matters or that you're not a father or that I was never a daughter to you! Any dog can have a pup. It takes a special soul to be a parent and raise a child!
And a real father is more than just a creator! Fathers are kind, protect you and raise you! You did none of that! Dagur's done all of that for Odyis! And I knew he would as did Odin, Frigga and all Haddocks who were gathered for the secret ceremony that granted me my human form!" she spat right in his face.
"You still are trying to twist the fact you betrayed everyone! And that included me!"
"I chose to live, Loki! I was dead and I chose to live! That's all I did was chose to have a heartbeat and finally live after being dead for a lifetime in a lonely, friendless and loveless existence I chose to finally live!
That's all I did! And you can't accept that! All you ever understood is your narrow-mind, hate-filled and power hungry ways!"
"And what of this child?" as he summoned Odyis to her and began to exam her like she was livestock for sale and she tried to get away from him but he had too tight a grip on her.
"Let me go! Don't touch me!" she cried!
"Why? Don't you want a hug from your grandfather?"
"I only have one grandfather! His name was Oswald the Agreeable and I was named for my grandmother Odyis! Let me go you monster!"
"You think I'm a monster? Well, you can deny it all you want, Odyis but the truth will be forever there that my blood still flows through your veins and you can do so much more than a pathetic human can do if you were to make some better choices then you're crazy human father and traitor mother."
"Leave her alone, Loki! Don't touch her or I show you what the expression means Hell knows no fury like a woman scorn! And it's even worse when it's a mother than just a jilted lover!
Now get your filthy hands off my daughter or you'll face my wrath! NOW!"
Loki seemed a little amused by his daughter's threat and threw his grandchild over to his daughter and they both laid in a bloody bruised heap."
"I'm gonna leave you both locked in here while I go face the battle that will soon be coming. Mull over your fates for a while. And think carefully which side you're on.
If you both come to your senses and join both my side your lives will be spared. If not? Well, I won't grant either you a quick death," as he left them and sealed them inside.
"Mommy?"
"Oh, Odyis please forgive me. Please. I'm so sorry for all I did in my past and I've done all I could for the past 23 years and before I married your father to atone for my sins.
I'm sorry for bringing this about. But I helped bring this doom to the worlds and now everyone will suffer and now you and…"
"Mommy! Please stop!" and Hel looked at her daughter in shock.
"Mommy, I forgive you for not telling me the truth about who you were in the past and now I understand why. You were just trying to protect me from him. I wouldn't want to be reminded that I was once in a former life forced to call someone who is pure evil "Father."
"Can you forgive me for my crimes? I truly did unspeakable acts of evil and it was unforgivable."
"Mommy, you taught me that if you truly are sorry for your past mistakes and feel remorse for your actions, then do all in your power to make up for your mistakes then you can atone for them.
I think you long ago made up for whatever that monster forced you to do. Did you even want to do them?"
"No, and I did all I could to make sure it would never happen again and I've spent the last 23 years to atone for them and I've tried to raise you right so you never have to know the what kind of childhood or parenting I got as a child."
"Mommy it's time you forgave yourself. You made choices to better your life and have done so much good and I love you and so does Daddy and all our friends. You're a good person. You're not evil or a monster."
"But you're looking at what I really am. At this body. You see me as I really am."
"I'm only looking at the body you're born with, Mommy. I know your soul Mommy and that all I need to see. And will get your true form back somehow."
"Then there is only one way out of this and it's time you knew what your special talent is."
"My talent?"
"Loki may not think I don't possess it anymore when I took human form or you don't have it as your father human, but I feel it in you as it's still in me. It's time you unleashed your own Icefire."
"Icefire? What's that, Mommy?"
"Let me explain and it may be our only hope for salvation."
Meanwhile standing on the highest tower with the balcony overlooking all of Helheim awaiting the inevitable arrival of the NGR was Loki. He was all alone and with the blood red moon casting its light on his face he looked very demonic at the moment.
He gazed around at everything before him and let his mind become calm and clear and thought about all he'd done to get to this moment. Then as the full moon was reaching its peak position in the sky he started to sing to it.
"Believe me I know. I've sunk pretty low. But whatever I've done they all deserve. I'm the bad guy that's fine. It's no fault of mine. And at last some justice will be served.
Now it's time to step up or time to back down. And there only one answer for me. And I'll stand up and fight because I know that I'm right and I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready. Ready as I'll ever be!"
At New Helheim was NGR along with the Souls there who they had persuaded to fight with them along with the Spirits and Seeds. Going over the plan one final time to take down Loki and save the Nine Realms.
As the oldest Breena took charge and sang powerfully to inspire everyone, "Now it's time rise up or time stand down. And the answer is easy to see. And I swear by the sword if we all in then it's time to get on board. Are you all ready?"
"We're ready! We're ready! Ready as we'll ever be!"
The young dragons then turned to the Night Furies to ask them. "Are you quite sure we can do this?"
The ten dragon princes and princesses nodded while smiling toothlessly and sang back "Together we will guarantee!"
Loki was directing his forces at the Citadel and sang. "I'll make them hear me."
While everyone then launched off from New Helheim they're all singing. "Now it's time to redeem or time to resolve. And the outcome will hardly come free but if we trust in each other we will save our homes and families.
Now the line's in the sand and our moment's at hand and we're are ready, we are ready, we are ready, ready as we'll ever be!"
It always strange the moment before the battle as you wait with anticipation for the blood, carnage, and chaos to begin. To wonder which side gonna take the victory and to see the shadows of doom face each other.
The dragon's formations that swooped down from the air were accompanied by an assortment of colorful lights and below them were a well-organized army of their own and for a few moments, there was silence as the two armies advanced towards each other.
And then the battle began.
Loki wasn't a fool by any means. They could see quite clearly themselves he'd done for centuries, therefore they know perfectly well what he was capable of.
He was an extremely intelligent, clever, and cunning man and most of all will never give up as he's proven with his determination to destroy Hiccup's family and thwart their Prophecy and all that had followed after it.
After all, he hadn't given up trying to murder his own child let alone Hiccup's family, to begin with when they declared a turning point, had he? He'd set out to destroy an innocent family who did absolutely nothing to him.
Subsequently, they'd all seen what he was capable of so as they flew into battle they'd truly be prepared for Loki and his army knowing exactly what their parents and grandparents had been dealing with since they're children themselves.
Right now all the NGR watched as the agony of the battle raged as both sides clashed below them. They clutch their chests as they're in such agony from having to bear witnesses to such horrors even it was meant to save the Nine Realms.
Their dragons were holding them all tightly in a warm tender embraces to share their love with them. Then quickly reminded them that even if they too were sickened by the battle themselves, they had to every so often do bloody and horrible things to protect what they loved.
They only could turn away for a moment from the battle. Then they sent death glares at the opposing army just across from them for a moment. Then whispering to each other what the plan was they moved in to fulfill it.
The time had come now to fulfill their destiny. To remember what they'd taught was most important and what time it was now.
That there comes a time when you faces the toughest of fights and your search for some kind of sign when you seem lost in the darkest, blackest and most hopeless of nights.
But even now with the wind blowing so icy cold they were not standing alone. Though this battle had already begun they all stood together because they're all united in their hearts and souls.
Waiting to see what kind of future was about to unfold and yet they're going to bring forth the power they all held in their hearts that their parents and grandparents held in such vast quantities it was brighter than even the sun!
For they had the power of love on their side and they need to believe in it more strongly in it now than ever before.
Slowly that powerful blazing emotion revitalized the light in their hearts. It started a chain reaction in all of them as they remembered why they vowed nothing was gonna keep them apart as friends or family.
As they slowly raised with one all standing by their side pulling them up with their strong hands. Looking in their eyes no-one was gonna run and hide from this fight.
They would stay together to fight to the end for everyone truly understood what it meant to be both family and friends! Feeling such strong bonds of love, friendship, family and loyalty truly gave meaning to the moment and it's really showed what a truly human heart is all made of.
Feeling rejuvenated the NGR and their dragons got ready to use what they'd learned their whole lives and together as a family to both take down Loki and fulfill their destiny.
Leaving the Souls along with the Spirits and Seeds to handle the outside army the NGR began to infiltrate the Citadel to take it down from the inside out.
First, they needed to cause a big enough distraction to occupy a majority of the guards to give the other teams a chance to do their jobs.
So Eureka with a little help from Oili and Runa who be useful in tight spots giving their talent was given the job of distracting the guards which they did very well of causing a lot of mayhem and mischief.
While Eureka and Oili and Runa district the Guards it was the Soul Riders children who came up with the clever idea of finding anything that might of use to COE and destroying it.
So they were on a search and destroy mission for anything Hel might of have missed or things Loki might have brought in. Between both Whitley and Esme mind, they're able to find a lot and the sixth sense the flower twins had they could detect them and destroy them quite easily.
Falcon with Mercury and Emerald watching his back were busy disarming all the weapons plus putting them permanently out of commission along the way as well.
Destin and Embla were busy taking out the guards one by one that was on the outside watching the battle while Haldor, Hertha, and Jary were trying to find out where they're loved where being held to free them.
And Tove, Unn along with Merida and Harris were seeking to find the source of dark energy and extinguished.
As for the ten Haddock children? They're using their gifts to coordinate all this and trying to see if they could find Hel and Odyis and then rescue them and their loved ones.
Finally, everyone had completed their jobs and found out where Purgatory was and got the master keys as well and thanks to the Haddock grandchildren's powers able to get it open and it was a most joyous reunion when they got everyone free.
Though they couldn't answer Dagur's question where his wife and daughter were as they unable to find them sadly.
Stoick did say at the moment as much as that was important there was still a battle for the fate of all existence and they still needed to defeat Loki's army and his sons and Loki himself.
Kara said she and the Valkyries along with the Dragons Souls would go help the army outside and if any Dragon Soul riders from the village wish to aid them they're welcome to come.
Toothless and Moon Shadow's siblings paused long enough to say to them that they hoped this meant they could finally do something really important like they had done all their living lives and took off to go help defeat Loki's army.
The DHA said they make sure the Citadel was truly secured as they doubted the children had incapacitated the guards and soldiers for long.
As for the parents, grandparents and the remaining gods? They planned to go with their children to finally track down where Loki was and take him down as they knew they were almost out of time.
It was one hell of a battle to get to the highest tower where Loki was waiting and he wasn't gonna go down without a fight. He was willing to fight with either magic or his fist and he was doing both to try and take down all three generations all while screaming and yelling almost incoherently at them but there was a lot of blasphemes thrown in there.
Finally, the NGR all cornered him with his back against the wall and attempt to reason with him.
"Come on Loki! Please think about what you're doing! If you don't stop you erase the entire Nine Realms from existence!" all the Haddock Children pleaded with him.
"Don't you understand that your actions have consequences? And that all you've done to hurt our families as actually hurt yourselves?" pleaded all four of the Soul Rider Children.
"Every action, every choice doesn't just affect you! It affects everyone in the universe! All this anger, hate, and resentment you have against the Nine Realms because things have changed has done nothing but harm you and now you're gonna destroy yourself and take everyone with you!" warned Tove and Unn.
"Please! Please just listen to reason for once! Let go your anger and see the light! Just understand what going on and see what've done!" the children of the Riders of Berk also pleaded.
"Look at your own reflection and just understand that change isn't a bad thing and that changing yourself or your thinking isn't poison it just life itself! It just how life grows and evolves!" pleaded the younger sibling children.
"Even for us dragons we grow and live and learn. Life is about change and we've grown wiser and become better with age!" screamed their dragons.
"Don't try and brainwash me with your garbage about "Transformation and Enlightenment!" You stole my daughter and you've destroyed the Nine Realms with it!" he snarled.
"The children are speaking only the truths you refuse to hear so venomously, Loki! Do you not understand why their parents and grandparents all were turning point? Why Hel herself was a turning point?!" cried out Frigga.
"Hel became a traitor! She betrayed me! Her family and everything!"
"No, she was trying to show you all a better way and show you the light. She was trying to save all your souls! Especially your Loki! All these children both human dragon?
They are a future and will stretch to millenniums to come and the world will grow and change many times over. Sometimes for the better other times for the worse. But if some can hold onto the lessons that started here in this small place in the middle of nowhere?
There is hope for all the Nine Realms that we can all live one day in a true paradise. A world that everyone is free of fear and can just be themselves and accepted for who they are. A day no-one dies inside or out.
A day of true love and peace. That's the turning point that those three souls you blame for your daughter's choice so much represent. They bring hope, faith, love, and that a better future for all no matter what Realm or who you are is possible.
Hel represented someone born to a loveless and lonely life can make a better life if they try and help others find the strength to find that for themselves. She's not a monster she's a hero.
Like all before you. All the souls before you are heroes one way or another. Every day they make wake up they wake up just the same. They may be a victim of a thousand different things
But they neither invisible nor are invincible by any means. That's true but they are everyday ordinary heroes. They know they can save the world. They may nothing more than who you see before you. But that's what they are. Heroes.
The simple things that they do every day? And the way so many people look up to them? It's never gonna be easy and it doesn't always look good. They are just like everyone else in all the Nine Realms.
You may fail to see their true identities but an everyday ordinary hero is someone who simply cares and helps others out and loves others and the world and does good.
And all before you that's what these people have done. And right now you are threatening to undo not just what they've done you are threatening to undo even your own existence due to your own insane mind.
Now, will you stop what you are doing and please let us undo the damage before we all vanish into oblivion?" Frigga begged him.
"No! If this is how it ends this how it ends. You all brought this on yourselves. So if we are all gonna go. So be it. Let's all face oblivion together!"
"You're out of your mind!"
"Tick Tock doesn't have much time left for me to run out the clock. The worlds will end in ten." And with that, he sent out a blast of dark magic laughing insanely.
"If we don't destroy his source of power we have no hope of saving the Nine Realms!" Freya yelled loudly as they all were hanging on for dear life from the tempest of power Loki was throwing at them.
"But the source of his powers is both his staff and that brooch of his! You need them both destroyed at the same time! We only have ten minutes! How we suppose to get close enough to him like this to destroy them both in only ten minutes?!" Sjofn cried out.
Just then bright aquamarine flames came out of nowhere and sent Loki flying backward. The tempest stopped for a moment as he regained his wits and the all saw who had shot that fire.
It was Odyis and her mother Hel! Both were very badly beaten up by the aquamarine flames were dancing at Odyis's fingertips and burning brightly.
"Remember, Odyis the Icefire is an extension of your heart. So if you're feeling positive emotions and your heart is pure then your Icefire will do miracles and not causes cures," Hel was reminding her daughter and locked eyes on her ex-father.
"I realized that thanks to all these people and that's why my own Icefire stopped being blue and is now heliotrope."
Taking a cleansing breath and picture all she loved and that was at stake she shot more Icefire at Loki who counters with his own power trying to run out the clock. Odyis tried to stay firm in her stance and was doing her best, but it wasn't enough.
"I can't do it by myself!" she cried as she was pouring all she had into it. And without even thinking about it they all knew what to do without knowing how.
All the NGR from oldest to youngest starting with Breena touching her right shoulder and Edyis the left and then their dragons gathered behind them touching wing to wing began to focus their energy and all of them and start to sing the same song too.
"Like a small boat on the ocean. Sending big waves into motion.
Like how a single word can make a heart open. We might have only one match but we can make an explosion!
And all those things we didn't say. Fireballs inside our brains. We will scream them loud tonight. Can you hear our voice this time?
THIS IS OUR FIGHT SONG!
Take back our lives song! Prove we are alright song!
Our powers turn on. Starting right now we'll be strong! We'll play our fight song!
And we really don't care if no-one else believes cause we still got a lot of fight left in us!
We won't lose our friends and we ain't chasing sleep. Everybody fears we're in too deep. In too deep. Saying we're in this too deep.
It won't be two years or two hundred years we won't say goodbye to our homes. Because we got fire burning in our bones.
Because we still believe. Yeah, we still believe.
And all those things we didn't say. Fireballs inside our brains. We will scream them loud tonight. Can you hear our voice this time?
THIS IS OUR FIGHT SONG!
Take back our lives song! Prove we are alright song!
Our powers turn on. Starting right now we'll be strong! We'll play our fight song!
And we really don't care if no-one else believes cause we still got a lot of fight left in us!
There's a lot of fight left in us!
Like a small boat on the ocean. Sending big waves into motion.
Like how a single word can make a heart open. We might have only one match but we can make an explosion!
THIS IS OUR FIGHT SONG!
Take back our lives song! Prove we are alright song!
Our powers turn on. Starting right now we'll be strong! We'll play our fight song!
And we really don't care if no-one else believes cause we still got a lot of fight left in us!
Now we still got a lot of fight left in us!"
And with that, all the power inside all of them flowed in one powerful burst and in a multicolored shot overpowered Loki's magic and obliterated his staff and brooch just in the nick of time and both he and the NGR were all knocked out cold from the effort.
