Chapter 5
The air was freezing, the skies were dark, the seas were frozen, and smell reeked of rage. Jotunheim was a place where the war of Asgardian's and Frost Giants took place and left the land in ruins. Emma felt little of the cold Jotunheim presented due to her new asgardian skin but still manage to feel it in her core.
"Okay," Emma started. "would someone tell me where the hell we are?"
"Jotunheim." Volstagg muttered in a guttural tone.
"I'm sensing that you guys have some history with place." she assumed.
"A history that reopens deep wounds, Swan." Sif confirmed.
"Well, why do you think we're here?" Emma questioned.
"Odin said there were talk rebelling," Fandral answered. "and since it is the Frost Giants, I'm not surprised."
"Tread carefully, Swan." Sif warned.
Emma nodded her head in understanding and walked along with her companions. As the five warriors started their trek on the frozen world, Emma looked on the faces of her companions and wanted to ask why they felt this way.
"You guys said you have a history with place, a bad one." she said.
"Tis none for your concern, Swan." Sif answered.
"Come now, Sif." Hogan defended. "She's here, might as well tell her."
"Tell me what?" Emma questioned.
"The reason why this place has left a stain in Asgard history." Volstagg replied.
"Wouldn't hurt." Fandral reinforced.
"Fine." said a defeated Sif.
As they all walked, Sif began to tell the reason Jotunheim had stained Asgard.
"Long ago, there was great and terrible war between the Asgardians and Frost Giants, the war nearly went for two centuries with no end in sight. Odin was in the head of the army for a final attack against the giants; Laufey, the leader of the giants, wanted Odin's head but knew he wouldn't collect it, so he fled and left his men." Sif continued. "The battle cost too many lives on both sides with Odin making a peace treaty with the giants, they accepted, but he didn't come back alone. During the treaty, his eyes layed upon a child abandoned, he took this child in and raised him as his own, hoping to build a brigde between Asgard and Jotunheim. The child was raised beside Thor, they were brothers and in line for the throne. But the child betrayed his brother and adopted family out of jealousy and believing he was better then others. The child's name was Loki."
"Loki?" Emma questioned. "As in, the god of mischief?"
"The same." Sif answered.
"No wonder you guys have a distaste with this place." Emma said.
"And why it has a distaste with them." a voice sounded.
Emma and her companions snap their heads in the direction of the voice and found Frost Giants ahead. Emma's heart skip a beat when she saw how big the giant was, it was even bigger then the ogre she faced in the Enchanted Forest.
"My, look how far Odin's dogs are from Asgard." the giant leader joked.
"Who are you?" Sif questioned.
"I am Barbus." he introduced. "Leader of the Frost Giants."
"Then, are you the one who is planning to overthrow Asgard?" she continued.
"Hmm...yes." Barbus admitted.
"Why." Emma wondered.
"Because, the Asgardian scum has in power for far too long" Barbus answered. "And needs to be put down."
"Sound familiar?" Fandral joked.
"You laugh at your demise." Barbus noticed. "Let me give it to you. ATTACK MY BROTHERS, LET THE ASGARDIAN'S FEEL OUR WRATH!"
Suddenly, bodies of hundreds, if not thousands, of Frost Giants started appearing from the icy wall that surrounded the warriors.
"PREPARE FOR BATTLE!" Sif shouted.
Emma readied her hammer, knowing that she was really going to need it. In the the corner of her eyes, she saw a giant jumping toward her; she swung her hammer and made a devastating blow to the giant body. She then saw Sif take two giants down with just sword swipe and thought she need to do better. Three giants surrounded her, she then felt the need to summon a can of lighting on their ass, and did so with little work. She then felt something she hasn't felt in a long time since she arrived in Asgard, a sense of joy. She had to admit that she was having fun fighting the giants. The fight lasted for a while, with the warriors scratched and bruised but still winning. Emma notice Barbus was about to flee and threw the hammer at his face with deadly accuracy. Barbus flew back when the hammer hit him and felt that it almost took off his head. Sif nodded her head in acceptance towards Emma. As the other finished off rest, Sif came to Emma's side to look at her work and placed Barbus under arrest. The few remaining Frost Giant fled knowing that they would be killed if they stayed. The warriors were merciful and left them to retreat.
Sif and Volstagg started to drag Barbus with them to where Heimdell drop them at. When they got back to their destination, Barbus was still knocked out and wasn't going to wake up any time soon.
"Whenever, you're ready, Heimdell." Sif said to the sky.
Then a blueish energy descended upon carrying them across time and space back to Asgard. As they returned, guards were waiting from their captured prisoner. They let loose Barbus and watched as guards take him away to the dungeon. Feeling sore and ready for some sleep Emma and the others said their farewells and made way for their rooms. Emma unequipped her armor slowly, due to the pain the giant inflicted upon her. She had bruises nearly all over her body and couldn't believe how she was still standing. As she layed back into her bed, felt as if her eyes were pulled down but didn't fight to keep them open and fell into a slumber.
The next morning, the kingdom was in panic as a prisoner had escaped the dungeon, Emma heard the commotion and gotten dressed immediately. She was amazed that her body healed so fast, she barely felt any pain from her bruises she had from the battle in Jotunheim. A servant was waiting outside her with a message.
"Miss Swan, the king would like to speak to you in the utmost importance. Lady Sif shall meet you there as well." the servant informed.
When she gotten to the throne room, Sif was waiting outside the door way, leaning against the wall with her arms folded and head down.
"Hey," Emma greeted. "Do you know what going on?"
"No." Sif answered. "But the king only wants to speak to us, apparently."
Emma and Sif stepped inside the throne room where Odin had been waiting for them. The king had a disconcerting look on his face that made Emma and Sif look at each other with worry.
"What troubles you, my king?" Sif wondered.
"A certain prisoner has escaped that requires a feminine touch."
Sif's eyes widened as she knew what he met by 'Feminine Touch'.
"How did she escape?" Sif said with anger.
"The collar at holds her voice has been broken." Odin answered in a clam tone. "And she bewitched the guards to help her escape. With is why I call upon you two to stop her."
"Wait, who are we talking about here?" Emma said confused.
"Lorelei." Sif responded in a cold tone. "A woman who is able to turn any man, god or mortal, into her slaves; and personal enemy of mine."
"Well, where did she go?" Emma questioned.
"Midgard" Odin replied. "or has you call it, Earth."
"Oh...She's going to have a field day if she's gone there." Emma realized.
"Which is why you best be going." Odin suggested. "And to prepare you, here is modified collar for when capture her, alive."
"Yes, my liege." Sif agreed.
A servant handed them the collar and sent them off to the bi-frost. As the two approached Heimdell, still staring into space, he acknowledged their presence by speaking.
"Destination?"
"Lorelei's last location." Sif ordered.
He put his sword in to activate the bi-frost and the two to Migard. As the two traveled, was glad she going back home, it may have not been Storybrooke, but it was home nonetheless. As the ride ended, Emma noticed that they were in the desert with cars and trucks surrounding them labeled 'Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division' or has in other words, S.H.I.E.L.D.
"Really?" Emma said in disbelief.
That's right, I'm doing a Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D crossover like the show did but with Emma. Please review so that I can know how I'm doing.
