Thor and the others got transported to earth landing exactly were Loki had when he had arrived. "Thor you've been her before it should be easy..." Sif whispered and Thor only glared at her saying, "That was years ago... And I wasn't looking for my crazy brother..." Sif laughed and so did the Warriors Three but Thor hushed them. They moved swiftly into the town were they found Loki hugging a girl.

"Loki!" Thor yelled and Loki turned round to face Thor pushing Maria behind him. "Well look who it is? The Mighty Thor, and his PETS!" Loki said with a dark laugh. "Step away from her Loki..." Thor said angrily and Loki started to smile. Maria peeked round her dark eyes piercing through Thor's.

"Why would I step away from her Thor? Am I, Loki not allowed to love anyone?" Loki yelled, his words ice cold. Maria stepped sideways. She was seen by everyone. Her hair sticking up, her eyes dark, with a small smirk on her face. "Loki you don't have to do this! Why destroy this world, where she lives?" Thor said angrily.

Loki grinned and Maria laughed. The five of them only stared in confusion. Loki slowly moved away, from Maria and towards Thor. His eyes, filled with humour, darkness and determination. He circled his so called brother. "Why not? When she doesn't want to live on this planet? Why leave her here? Why deny her, the pleasure to see this damned realm fall, into flames! Why not let her see her damned father burn alive... WHY!" Loki yelled transforming to what he would normally look like. His helmet firmly on his head. Metal and leather, high boots, long green velvet cloak, the long staff he possessed. Maria stood in pure wonder. Loki looked at her gave her a small wink. This should be fun for him.

-X-

Maria was stunned, she almost stood frozen. She looked dead at Loki as if she'd never seen him before. She ignored everyone else, she just watched him... Smiling. It was like she could just run over to him, hug him, have him close to her, feel his lips on her skin, on her lips.

"Why did you come brother?" Loki whispered and Thor growled with pure anger as if he was going to swing at Loki. "Because I can't let you destroy a whole race of people Loki! YOU CAN'T DO IT!"

He pointed his staff at a near by car, which was soon to be nothing more than a burning pile of scrap metal and fire. A massive serge of magic and power flew past Maria blowing up anything in its path until it reach the car he aimed for. Maria hid away so she didn't get hurt. Thor tried to stop him but only got himself hurt in the process. Everything in front of him was set on fire or blown to pieces. She kneeled down watching with a small smile on her face. Her heart told her she should try to stop him but her head told her to sit tight and watch. He looked straight at her as if to tell her to move.

"WATCH THIS WORLD BURN TO THE GROUND!" Loki yelled as his power scaled 100% he was just blowing everything up. Thor, Sif and the Warriors Three were trying so hard but he was to powerful. He would only listen to Maria, but she wasn't going to stop him. She was unarmed and she was looking the other way when a hand fell over her mouth, and an arm wrapped tightly around her almost suffocating her.

"STOP OR SHE GETS HURT!" Thor yelled and Loki stopped his face growing worried.

"Don't hurt her Thor!" Loki yelled, moving towards them. The Warriors Three and Sif laughed at his sudden pain. Thor tightened his grip and Maria began to struggle for breath.

"STOP YOUR KILLING HER!" Loki yelled again and Maria felt her life almost slipping away. Loki almost collapsed in front of Thor, he wanted to beg him to let her go, but then he would be seen as weak. "Stop destroying this world brother!" Thor yelled and Loki lied.

"I promise just stop hurting her!"

Thor let go of Maria who was about to fall on the ground. Loki caught her in his arms. He was on his knees. "Are you alright Maria?" he whispered in her ear so only she could here him. She was in shock, she was shaking violently in his arms and he held her close to his chest.

"Your alright I promise. He won't touch you again." Loki whispered again. "He-he sc-scared me L-Loki..." she stuttered as tears fell from her big brown eyes. Loki rocked her slowly. "I'm so sorry Maria. I'm so sorry." he whispered again. He felt her relax in his arms, her shaking body slowly becoming calm again. "Thank you."

"Hide... Don't let them find you!" Loki said loudly. Maria looked up to him and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Make him pay... Now go!" Loki yelled, only looking at Sif, The Warriors Three and Thor. He heard Maria stop and turn back to him. He turned to her and before he knew it she kissed him and was off to her hiding spot. He stood frozen in his spot and then turned his attention back to Thor and his 'PETS!'

"You will pay for hurting her!" Loki growled pointing his staff towards them and a massive serge of magic flew at the other five. He kept firing magic at them not caring if he killed anyone innocent. Killing was what he did for fun... He loved the cries for help, and the cries of pain was music to his ears. "Loki! You promised!" Thor yelled and Loki laughed darkly with an evil grin plastered on his face.

"I recall you calling me a skilful liar brother... Could you not see this happen?"

Thor did everything to deflect the magic being thrown at him and his friends. Thor suddenly threw his hammer at Loki. Sending him flying through the air. He landed with a heavy thud and there was a gasp for air. When the dust cleared Loki lay there still, hammer laying on top of his chest weighing him down.

"We end this now brother!" Thor growled holding his hand out, his hammer flying into his hand. Loki never moved... When Maria saw him... She squeaked and ran as fast as she could towards him. Sif grabbed her. She was crying, shouting everything.

-X-

'He can't be gone...' she thought as she broke free from Sif's grip. She fell to her knees next to him. Shuddering breaths left his slightly parted lips. She put a hand on his chest. She could feel his heart beat, slow and tired beats. Sif and The Warriors Three tried to pull her away but she managed to fight them off. Her heart was slowly braking. "Loki? Loki are you alright?" she cried and he smiled, reaching his hand up to her pale, tear stained face.

He placed it on her cheek and she put hers on top of his. "I'm always alright Maria but..." he took a deep painful breath, "not this time..." Maria sobbed softy and Loki signalled for her to lie next to him. She did so and she wrapped her arms round him tightly. "You can't leave me Loki..." she mumbled.

"I can only try my beautiful Maria. I-I love you." he mumbled as he lay there, pain coursing through him. He wrapped his arms round her. He wasn't going to leave her, not yet... Not. Now!
