Chapter 6
Thor clears his throat and attempts to stop staring at the beauty that is before him. Plus, his brother would murder him if he even dared to do what he was thinking. It was all true about luminaries and their beauty. But this is a queen. the one who tony stark always talked about. But right now, he needed to get out of here. Most of all get those things off poor bella since he can tell it was killing her slowly. She is his sister now since she is his brother's soulmate. But he was not sure what Loki would think if he saw how wounded she looked like right now. but he did help her with her back. But now it was time for him to call someone to see what was going on with his sister.
" We need to find a way out of this room. And those devices off you. But first, I need to talk to Heimdall." Said Thor
Thor realizes he needs Heimdall's help. He needed to know if there was something going on. or has she killed everyone yet. So, he closes his eyes and calls Heimdall. While bella watched him from where she stood. And wondered who he was talking about. She remembered Loki talking about some guy by that name. He ran the portal from world to world. but now she was interested in how this was going to work. Thor sighed and knew this was something that he was going to need to see. He needed to know if there were people still alive. Or if any aid came to them for help. If so, he would be forever thankful to them for helping.
"Heimdall I know you can see me. I need you to help me. Help me see." Said thor
bella was watching from where she was standing. She was wondering how the talking thing works. Why can't Loki do something like this. Why did they only allow Thor to have this sort of power. It's as if they wanted Thor to be a king. But now she was angry. When she heads to the soul society once this is over, she was going to kick oden ass for putting her poor Loki on the sidelines. And make Thor the one who can do stuff like this. Even though Loki has made some mistakes but he is helping to make his mistakes for the wrongs he did. And she loved him deeply as well.
"I see you, but you are far away." Said Heimdall.
"What's going on here?" asked Thor.
"Come see for yourself. We have very powerful help." Said Heimdall
Heimdall leads Thor around a corner where some Asgardian citizens are hiding from Hela's soldiers. While he saw people fighting, he has never seen before. As if they were asked to go there as a favor. But he has no clue who they are. But he would thank them when this is all over and done. But he could sense the power coming from all of them. so this was a good thing and a huge plus for them right now.
"I'm providing refuge in a stronghold built by our ancestors. But our only escape is the Bifrost. While our new friends here are powerful and helping us." Said Heimdall
"You are talking about evacuating Asgard?" asked thor
"We won't last long if we stay. Not even with the help we have. They offered us a place in one of the palaces that belongs to neo queen serenity. But Hela draws her power from Asgard and she grows stronger every day. Hela is ravenous. If I let her leave through the Bifrost, she'll consume the Nine Realms and all the cosmos. Asgard needs you." Said heimdall
"We're working on it. But I don't even know where the hell I am or how to leave. And make sure to thank those who came for our aid in a time of need." Said thor
"You're on a planet surrounded by doorways. Go through one." Said heimdall
"But which one?" asked thor
"The big one." Said Heimdall
Then Asgard disappears around Thor and he's back in the room with bella and Hulk. Thor closes his eyes once more and when he opens them again his blue eyes are back. He sees bella in his face trying to get his attention. He wondered what in the world is going on. but he knows he owes bella friends and family for helping because he was told that they were there to help. But he didn't know what to do or to thank his new sister. He knew she didn't have a great opinion of his father. And for all good reasons why she didn't like his father.
"Thor, are you with me now? Um, are you sure because you just went into a daze there and it sounded like you were having a one-sided conversation." Said bella
"Oh, I was talking to Heimdall, and he showed me a way to get off this planet and back to Asgard. And thank you for sending your people to help me." Said Thor
Thor walks over to the window with bella and Hulk following him. Thor says pointing to the biggest wormhole in the sky. So, this is how the hell they are going to get out of this planet. And get to go and help with the fighting. bella narrowed her eyes and wondered how they all are going to be able to get through that portal. She was not sure if she knew of any ships here in this place. Even though she wouldn't put it past the grandmaster or have a great many ships that could be used. And then they would need to steal said ship and get the hell out of here. And make sure Loki was with her as well. She won't leave without him.
"Ok but how are we supposed to get up there." Said bella
"I have not figured that out yet. But first I must get this disc out of my neck so they can't shock me while we're escaping. And as well those devices off you as well. I've tried taking it off, but it just shocks me." Said thor
"Well, who put it there? Mine is meant to harm someone like me. It was made by a man name endymion and made it for me to suffer." Said bella.
"The woman who put it there is the one that found me in the trash pile place and saved me from a bunch of Sakaarans. I don't know her real name, but the Grandmaster calls her Scrapper 142. Before my fight with Hulk, I learned that she is a Valkyrie from Asgard. I tried to tell her that Asgard was in trouble, but she didn't seem to care. Maybe if I could talk to her and tell her what happened with Hela returning, she would help." Explained thor
bella eyes light up with the plan and she was telling him how it was going to go down. She was going to help with this too. Thor knew she was smart. But that is why she is his brother's soulmate. He needed someone like her in his life. Plus, if anything happened to her Loki with kill him. he knew that this was his woman and his soulmate. And he needed to make sure he keeps her in good shape for him until they find him again. Thor and bella devise a plan to get Scrapper 142 to stay in the room to talk. Hulk wasn't much help, he got distracted too easily.
Meanwhile a few hours later
Later in the day Scrapper 142 comes into the room looking for Hulk. Hulk is by his bed waiting for her. hulk called out angry girl. bella said he does that to be playful. They play fight for a little while until Hulk is on the ground. Scrapper 142 looks around the room and sees Thor and bella by the bar. bella was not showing the woman any concern. But they needed to make sure that they found a way to get the controller to get their torture devices off them. but they were obviously hiding until she was in the room. Scrapper 142 No longer has a smile on her face. They can tell she's angry being set up like this. She starts to leave the room.
"You're so thick-headed that you can't tell when someone's hiding all the way across the universe and wants to be left alone." Said 142
"We need to talk." Said Thor
"No, we don't. You want to talk to me. There's a difference." Said 142
She continues to walk towards the entrance. Thor turns around to Hulk and tells him. bella whispered to the hulk as to say that they needed to have this woman to stay here with them. Hulk nods and walks over to his bed. Hulk breaks off the top part of the bed. The part the looks like the head of the animal carcass. He throws it at the archway to stop 142 from leaving. Usagi looked pleased with herself to get the hulk to stop this woman who might be able to get them out of here. While Thor sighed why is It always woman who the hulk listens to. even though he would listen to bella but he knew she belonged with his brother. And his brother would make him regret stealing his soul mate from him. Plus, he could tell he was not her type. 142 says turning around and walking over towards the bar.
"Here's the deal, I'll listen to you till this is empty." Said 142
142 holding up a 64 oz jug of alcohol. While bella sighed these kinds reminded her of kenpachi and a few others. But this woman has some real issues. And she would love to know what her past is like. Or what happened to make her run away from the life she once had. Even though this place is a dump. It's not the first place she would pick. But 142 takes the top off and starts drinking, so Thor starts talking. As if she will listen to him. even though bella sighed and knew that he was not going to be getting in some word in at all.
"Asgard is in danger and people are dying. If it isn't for bella people helping. We wouldn't even get as far as we can. We need to get back there, and I need your help...wow." said Thor
142 smirked and drops the jar, shattering it and goes to leave once again. Usagi huffed this is not the way it was supposed to go. But Thor is trying his hardest to get her to listen to him. even though they are tricking her as well. but Thor seemed to know what was going on with this woman. As if she ran away from her home world. Thor sighed and knew she had to know about Hela being back from her prison. So, In a finale attempt, to get her to listen. Maybe he would be able to get her to agree after he said who was out of her prison and about Odin being dead. So maybe this might get this through her head since he thinks she might have been one of the warriors back then in war against Hela.
"Odin is dead. Hela, the Goddess of Death, has invaded Asgard." Blurted thor
"If Hela's back then Asgard's already lost." Said 142
"I'm going to stop her." said Thor
142 turns around with an incredulous look on her face. And wondered if thor lost his mind when it came down to the goddess of death. He has no clue what he was dealing with. But for now, she would like to see why he wanted to go and fight her. and most of all how and who would come and help him. Yes, there is others there for help. But it was going to take a huge amount of power to defeat her. while bella looked back and forth and wondering if they will have another one on their hands for the fight against the person named Hela the goddess of death. If she remembers correctly the soul society wanted her to be tossed into the gates of hell. Maybe she would be able to do that.
"Alone?" asked 142
"Nope. I'm putting together a team. It's me, you, bella who happens to be neo queen serenity and sailor cosmos and the daughter of king vegeta, and the big guy." Said thor
"No. No team. Only Hulk." Said Hulk
hulk picks up a ball and tosses it against the wall. bella sighed and knew that was coming. He acted like someone she once knew when he didn't get their way. but for now, she wondered if this person was going to even help them out. 142 looked in awe how didn't she know that this woman is neo queen serenity and sailor cosmos. She was kicking herself in the ass now. Even though the grandmaster played with the wrong woman and the wrong person. And if the rumors are real vegeta is not one to mess with. From this day on and when he was king of the silver kingdom.
"Ok, it's me, bella, and you." Said thor
"I think it's only you two." Said 142
142 says as she tries to leave once again not interested in the conversation about the goddess who killed all her sisters in one shot. She was lucky to escape but it seemed that bella is helping. And her friends and family seemed to be as well. but she was not interested facing that woman again. While she was going to leave since she was finished with the conversation. And don't want to relive the pain of that day. Thor runs in front of her. it seemed that Thor does not give up on the fact that he wanted this woman help. But then again there was not really anything she could do. bella sighed and wondered if Thor will get her to help or not.
"Wait, just listen. The Valkyrie are legend. Elite warriors of Asgard sworn to defend the throne." Said thor
"I'm not getting dragged into another one of Odin's family squabbles." Snapped 142
"What's that supposed to mean?" asked thor
"Your sister. Her power comes from Asgard, same as yours. When it grew beyond Odin's control, she massacred everyone in the palace and tried to seize the throne. When she tried to escape her banishment, he sent Valkyrie in to fight her back. I only survived because… Look, I already faced her once back when I believed in the throne, and it cost me everything. That's what's wrong with Asgard. The throne, the secrets, the whole golden sham." Explained 142
142 goes to walk away again but Thor grabs her arm. He was not going to let her leave until she knew that they needed her help. But that was for her to decide. And he understood what and why she did not want to leave and come and help. This place is a shit hole and a trash plant. And she would want to remain here of all places. Other than doing what she was meant to be doing. bella sighed she understood why she wanted to remain out of the war. But then again, she has those thoughts too. but like her father taught her if you run away from a battle or a fight you have no honor in you. bella sighed and wondered what it be like to fight goddess of death. Sadly, she herself is a goddess as well. all luminaries are gods and goddesses.
"I agree. That's why I turned down the throne. But this isn't about the crown. This is about the people and they're dying and they're your people, too." Pleaded thor
"Forget it. I have." Said 142
"Okay and thank you." Said Thor
"For what?" sked 142
"You know what, go ahead and stay here. Enslave people for that lunatic Grandmaster. Keep drinking. Keep hiding. But I choose to run towards my problems, and I am taking her with me." Snapped bella
Thor holds up the device that controls the disc attached to his neck that he took from 142's pocket. Thor presses the button at the top that disarms the device. Thor can pull it off his neck now. Thor turns to Hulk and claps his hands together and Hulk throws a ball to him. Thor says pointing to bella now she doesn't have the devices on her no more. And now she can fight now with her powers. Thor then throws the ball at the window as hard as he can. However, the window just cracked instead of breaking. The ball bounced off the window and came back to hit Thor in the head which knocked him over. Thor played it off and got right back up like nothing happened.
Thor walked over to bella and picked her up. He then ran out the window with her in his arms trying to shield her away from the glass. They slid down the side of the building and then jumped to the building across from them and they slid down that one. As they were going, they heard Hulk yell about friends staying. However, Thor didn't account for the second person when he jumped out the window. He and bella started falling to the streets below them. They both started to scream. Not knowing what else to do, bella just went on instinct. When they were ten feet off the ground bella calls upon her wings since her powers had come back. Thanks to her wings since they smoothly land on the ground. Thor looks like a bella. She just turns to him and says, bella was in her cosmos form. She missed feeling the power flow through her.
"I have a few tricks up my sleeve. It's a perk of being sailor cosmos." Said bella
"I guess so." said Thor
Thor was smiling back at his new sister. He knew she was special. But not as special as he learned of her royal blood lines. And her power might be the reason they need to kill off his sister. That was something that might be the way out. They realize that they don't have much time before someone realizes they're gone, and they know Hulk is following them so that brings even more attention to them. Thor grabs bella hand as they run through Sakaar's streets. They stop for a second hearing cheers behind them shouting.
"Hulk! Hulk! Hulk!"
Thor and bella start running again as Hulk starts to chase after them. They know Hulks are close behind because they hear a bunch of crashes. These streets are too small for Hulk to be running around in. Thor and bella make it to a junk yard where they see the Quinjet. bella jumps on top of the Quinjet to get to the opening hatch at the top. Thor walks over to the control console and starts pressing buttons. He sees a handprint scanner and puts his hand to it. While bella was looking at the tech. she knew there was something that would help her get this started. She wasn't her mother's daughter for a reason. She is intelligent when it comes down to a lot of stuff.
"Welcome. Voice activation required."
"Thor." Said Thor
"Access denied."
"Thor, Son of Odin." Said Thor
"Access denied."
"God of Thunder." Said Thor
"Access denied."
"Strongest Avenger." Said Thor
"Access denied."
bella groaned that the ship doesn't need his voice since it was very noticeable, and the password must be something, but no one knew what it was. But she was seeing that Thor was somewhat offended by this. Then it's like a light bulb goes off in his head and his irritation shows. Thor reminded her of a male Minako. But then again, they could be soul mates. She missed what Thor said and made the ship work. Suddenly, the Quinjet starts shaking. Plus the quinjets were invented by her mother in the first place. It pissed her mother off when tony kept claiming he made them. but they fixed that issue quickly. The next second the back end was completely ripped off and Hulk is standing there.
"FRIENDS STAY!" yelled hulk
"NO NO NO NO! STOP!" yelled Thor.
Hulk starts walking towards the front of the Quinjet. While bella sighed this was going to be a broken ship one the hulk breaks into it. but she was not sure what he was trying to do. the hulk or banner hasn't been back on earth since crystal Tokyo started. Even Thor told her he was amazed at what they were seeing. But Hulk is too big to walk around in the Quinjet so as he moves forward, he is tearing the Quinjet apart. thor starts pressing buttons. bella runs over to Hulk to try and get him to calm down enough to stop destroying the ship. Thor hits a button and a video pop up of Natasha trying to get Hulk to take the Quinjet back to the Heli carrier after Sokovia.
"Hey big guy." Said natasha
Immediately after hearing Natasha's voice, Hulk stops destroying the ship and looks to the video. Bella can see the pain written all over his face. She can also see that the woman in the video looks nervous. Like she knows this conversation is not going to end well. the battle that was from the time this woman talked about was the time when endymion did something else to take over the world or kill her. so it must be the person they are talking about. Hulk reaches out to the video where the picture of Natasha is displayed. Once the video is cut off Hulk starts punching himself. The transformation of Hulk to Banner has begun.
Hulk is roaring. bella can tell there is an internal battle going on inside him. bella was watching the hulk closely when it came down with his internal debating. sees Hulk's form start to shrink as he continues to beat himself and run into things destroying the quinjet. After a few minutes Hulk starts to slow down becoming winded. He falls to the ground. bella sees he is now the size of the average human man, and he has lost his green complexion. Thor squats down next to Bruce checking on him.
"Banner are you ok?" asked Thor.
Bruce is startled anyway by the soft touch Thor gives him on his back. Thor thinks he is about to transform again so he tries using Natasha's mantra to keep him calm. Thor says smiling. bella thinks Thor is going crazy with his randomness. Winded Bruce looks up. This struck bella as odd that this would be Bruce's first question, but he does seem out of it. and it seemed that she was being ignored for some reason. so, she was going to be off to the side when it came down to the fact that they were catching up. but now she could see the more humanoid side of the hulk. It was rather interesting. Even though Thor forgot she was even there. And she was guessing the hair thing was that Thor had long hair and had it chopped off.
"Some creepy old man cut it off. It was very traumatic." Said Thor
"It looks, it looks good." Said Bruce
Bruce was still trying to catch his breath from everything that is going on. bella couldn't hold in her laugh at their conversation. He sounded like Minako and Rey when they got gum in their hair. It was so funny to her to see thor of all people cry about a haircut. Bruce looks behind Thor to bella in her sailor cosmos form standing there. She waves at him embarrassed because of her outburst. Bruce waves back looking confused. He wondered why sailor cosmos on this ship is. And who happens to be neo queen serenity. But that was for another time. He needed to figure out why and where he is. And how the hell he got there in the first place.
"Where am I? Where's Nat? And what about Sokovia?" asked Bruce
"Sokovia?" asked Thor
Thor questions back not understanding why Bruce is so confused about the events that happened so long ago. What in the world went on when he was gone? bella sighed she helped with that one as well. but no one knew it was her. since she used the Luna pen to disguise herself from being noticed. That was another endymion time as well. but he was someone different since he was the best at the change of how he looked. It was something in his power he was always able to do. but those thoughts could be for later. Since they escaped and now, they must go and find a way to get back to Thor home world and get Loki as well. She missed him deeply. But she didn't know why she felt so connected to him. and why she fell in love with him so quickly. But for now, those thoughts could wait for the time being. She wondered what Bruce was going to say.
"Sokovia, the city, Sokovia did we save it?" asked Bruce
"Banner listen, Sokovia, Ultron, that was two years ago." Said Thor
Thor was trying to explain to Bruce calmly trying to break it to him gently, hoping Hulk wouldn't come out when Bruce heard this. While bella sighed and knew this was a lot to take in when you can't control that one side of you. But she has people who could help him out with that thing. While Bruce looked at bella and now recognized her when she came and helped them. That is how he knew of neo queen serenity and sailor cosmos. She maybe had a disguise on, but it was not hard to figure out who it was now. Thor knew this was not going to be easy for him to hear. While Bruce was trying his best to figure out what got him here.
"What are you saying, I've been Hulk for two years?" said Thor
"Yes, you have and from what I heard it was quite an adventure. During that time, I was able to get Hulk to trust me and we have been having discussions over what he's been doing for the last two years. I must say, he has grown quite protective of me and I him. I know this is a lot to take in right now but I'm sure we'll get along great." Explained bella
bella told him smiling to let him know everything is going to be ok for the time being. But they might end up getting caught sooner or later. So, they might need to wrap this up sooner or later. But bella was trying her best to be as friendly as possible. bella really wanted to get to know this side of Bruce Banner. Bruce smiles at her then comes back to reality. But he wondered what else was going on. but Thor sighed and knew Bruce had a lot of answers when it came down to the fact that Loki is alive. And Thor still needed to tell them both they are soul mates. But he wanted Loki with them when he announced it. he wanted Loki to be there to know he had his soulmate with him.
"Did you say Sakaar? I've never heard of it before. Is that in Africa?" asked Bruce
"Um, no. Sakaar is a trash planet, and you got here through a wormhole, like bella did and like I did. The only way off this planet is through a wormhole." Explained Thor
Bruce stands up holding Hulk's pants tightly around his waist and staggers to the control system. He was trying to take everything in. With him standing, bella is finally able to get a good look at his appearance. She can see that Bruce looks to be in his mid-forties with salt and pepper hair. He was holding Hulk's pants around his waist which were too big for him now. He looked entirely drained of energy, like he had just finished a triathlon. At the control system Banner places his hand on the quinjet handprint scanner. Bruce ignores Thor as he commands the control system to bring up the ship's log. Bruce cringes when he sees a video pop up of Hulk in the quinjet crash landing on Sakaar. Outside the Quinjet, an alarm is sounded, and the Grandmaster's form is projected on his palace for all Sakaarans to see.
"Sakaar, here-ye, attention please. It's bad news, bad news today. My beloved, exalted Champion and future queen have turned up missing. Take to the streets. Celebrate my champion and your queen-to-be." Said grandmaster.
"Who's that?" asked Bruce
"That is the Grandmaster. He kind of runs this place. He is looking for you, or Hulk, to continue being his champion in the gladiator fights and he is looking for me to be his future queen. he is a sick freak and deserved to die." said bella
Bruce looked angry from what she had said and what he was told by Thor. How could someone does that to a woman like this. But he knew he would never let that man whoever he maybe has bella as his own. Even though he didn't even know who her soulmate was. But it seemed that Thor knew who it is. But for now, he was also told the avengers are now working with the silver kingdom. but not the time to think about that. but there seem to be a lot of things that needed to be caught up on. but right now, they needed to figure out what they are going to do next. Well before they get captured since there are people out there trying to find them.
"I guess he still feels protective of me even if he doesn't remember who I am." Thought bella.
"Yes, that is all true. You actually lived in his house." said Thor.
"I did!?" asked Bruce
"Yeah, quite a lot has happened. You and I had a fight recently." Said Thor
Thor states trying to quickly catch Bruce up on what's been happening. bella arched a brow from what Thor had just said. He had a fight with Thor and lived to tell the tell. It was rather interesting. But for now it seemed that the hulk won obviously. She giggled when it came down to the life he had to live in this place. But she was happy that he is going to have some form of bragging rights for the fact that he was able to defeat the god of thunder. Even though it was silly on how Bruce was feeling about all of this. Most of all was sharing a room with a moon goddess who is the queen of the earth and the moon. And as well comforted her while she was sad. Thor sighed there is just so much to catch up with his friend.
"Did I win?" asked Bruce
"No. I won. Easily." Said Thor
"That doesn't sound right." Said Bruce
"Well, it's true." Said Thor
bella huffed in annoyance it seemed that men still enjoy having a pissing and cock measuring contest to see who is better than the other. While they forgot that she was there still. Sure, she was not at full strength yet. But she was able to remain in the form of sailor cosmos. But if these two continued to bitch at each other. Then they might lead the people who are searching for them to come and find them. but it was no use since they won't stop bickering when it came down to who kick who's ass in the arena. This is when she needed Amara.
"You know, the biggest muscle in the body is the brain." Said Bruce
"I've got more muscle, so technically more brain!" said Thor
bella sighed and can't hold in a giggle at that. Thor gives her a fake glare. He had forgotten that she was even there. It seemed she was finding their bickering amusing. But then again there was not much they could bitch about right now. but there was something that came down to the fact that they needed to get moving since they would be hunted down. And he didn't want Loki to wrath if anything happened to his soulmate. Even though he didn't know that bella is his soulmate just yet. But for now, he was going to hold that news in. even though he was not going to be happy about him not being told about having a soulmate. Even though their mother did warn him that Loki soulmate is going to be from the serenity and vegeta blood lines. So, she spoke the truth when she told him this. Even though she told him not to say anything to Loki until it was time.
"It seems that that criminally seductive Lord of Thunder has stolen them away." Said Grandmaster's broadcast continues.
"Seductive GOD of Thunder! And she's loki's not mine." Thought Thor
Thor muttered to himself, but the others still heard him. even though he thought that in his head. While he looked to see bella eyes wide with wonder. Oh, shit moment for the time being. He should learn to speak inside of his head sometimes. He was stupid enough to announce that. but it was true that she is Loki. But he was not going to give any more info until she and Loki were in the same room. Usagi heart skips a beat hearing this. She hoped she was Loki's. that would make her day or evening whenever it was now. Getting back to reality bella tells the guys.
"The Quinjet is too damaged. We must find another way off this planet. And Bruce is going to need some clothes." Said bella
Thor goes digging around the Quinjet to find something to cover Bruce up. Bruce is lost in his thoughts. He then starts hyperventilating. Thor has that oh shit look on his face. He picks up a random outfit and runs to Bruce to give him the clothes. bella wonders why he keeps doing that. and she giggled about what he would look like in stark clothing. Even though tony has been married to Rey or a good while now. But then again that was something to be announced for another time. But they needed to go and find a way off this rock. But the worst part is when they needed to get through with, they crowd. She used her Luna pen to change her look, so she wouldn't be able to be spotted. Thor had to say that was easy enough for her to do since she would be noticeable if she went around looking the way she did.
The Grandmaster calls Loki and Scrapper 142 to the throne room. Once they enter, the Grandmaster starts his speech. He needed to know who was the one who helped his champion and his future wife and the sparkles escape. He will find out one way or another. And he was going to make them pay for doing so. Loki closed his eyes, he hoped that his beloved is safe somewhere and is out of sight. He needed to get to her fast before this bastard gets his hands on her again. He knows his brother and the hulk would help her and keep her safe. But he has a feeling she can care for herself. But it still made him worry about her wellbeing.
"I'm upset! Very upset. You know what I like about being upset? Blame. Right now, that's the mindset that I'm in. And you know who I'm blaming?" snapped grandmaster.
"Grandmaster, I-" said Loki
"Hey! Don't interrupt me!" hissed grandmaster.
When the Grandmaster says this Topaz walks over to him and holds up to him the melting stick. The Grandmaster looks at Topaz curiously. Loki sighed and knew this was not going to end well for anyone. He was worried for his beloved more. But he was not going to announce who was the one who helped them leave. But he wondered why the man was so pissed off. It's as if his beloved would even dare to touch a man like this filth willingly. And he knew she was sick and wounded. But he hoped she was able to use her powers since that would help her get better.
"Why are you handing me the Melt Stick? He was interrupting. That's not a capital violation. Now, where was I? My beloved little queen-to-be and my precious champion have come up missing and it's all because of that Lord of Thunder. It's all because of him, YOUR brother - whatever the story is, adopted, or complicated, I'm sure there's a big history" hissed grandmaster.
Loki with his silver tongue tried to calm the man. He needed to play the man since he needed to make sure his beloved is going to be ok. He doesn't trust his brother one bit. Because his mind wonders and he would lose her. and he would not be happy when that happened. while he took a deep breath and wondered what to do about this. But he knew he would be blamed. But he was not going to be able to speak since the bastard wanted to bitch to the two of them. even though he was not going to enjoy what was about to happen next. But it was for the best for him and his beloved. He needed to get her and himself away from here fast.
"My dear friend, if you were to give me twelve hours, I could bring them both back to you." Said Loki
"I can do it in two hours." Said 142
"I can do it in one." Snapped Loki
"Let's stop there. You know what? I woke up this morning thinking about a public execution. But for now, I'll settle for this sweet little. Who's going to get him first? So, you're on the clock!" said grandmaster.
Loki and Scrapper 142 walk out of the throne room. Loki was not happy with what the hell this bitch was up to. because if she dared to grab his beloved and bring her back to the grandmaster his wrath would not be kind to her. but for now, he was going to remain calm. But he didn't trust the woman next to him. When they get to the hallway Loki stops 142. He was not going to let her get away from what she had done inside of the throne room. He was not going to let her take his beloved back to that fucker. He was going to kill her if he had to kill her for even thinking about it. 142 arched a brow and wondered why he was getting all pissy for.
"What have you done?" hissed loki
"I don't answer to you, Lackey." Snapped 142
"It's Loki! And you will answer the Grandmaster!" hissed loki
Loki then pulls 142's arm stopping her from walking away. The two fights, jabbing each other back and forth. 142 ends it by punching Loki in the head. Loki pulls out a dagger. He was going to make sure she was not going to harm his beloved. He knew she was loyal to the grandmaster. And he would be dammed that his beloved will be stuck with that filth. She was his and his alone. While 142 wondering what was up with him. it seemed that Loki wanted nothing to do with her. but he was showing what his weakness is and that is the woman who was with Thor. And Loki was not willing to have her harmed even more. Even though she has no clue what the grandmaster had done to the poor woman. Even though she wanted to know that she might help save her then they would be getting somewhere. But she was not getting an answer. They go back to fighting again and Loki is able to see 142's Valkyrie tattoo.
"Why would you help my brother escape with that green fool and bella? Terribly sorry. Must be a very painful memory…" said Loki
As Loki says this, he puts his hand to the woman's forehead and used his magic to bring forth the memory that 142 has been suppressing for so long. He needed to know what the hell was going on and why she was here in the first place. He needed to know. He did this to bella and she was one who suffered more than this bitch has. She lived longer than anyone of them. even longer than Odin. So, this woman better chose her words correctly when it came down to the fact that he loved his bella. And she is going to be his queen if she would accept him in that way. yes, he would gain children from her past. Since she is a mother. But he didn't care if that was it.
Memory:
The Valkyrie army are all riding on their winged steed towards Hela. They were sent by Odin to drive Hela back to her prison. The Valkyries engaged in combat with Hela. Hela created a vast amount of weapons that she used to kill the Valkyries as they descended on her. 142 was one of the last Valkyries, managing to avoid death when another Valkyrie sacrificed herself.
Once the memory was over, 142 fell to the ground. Not liking what Loki made her remember, she knocked him out. She dragged Loki all the way to her room and tied him up. she was going to give Loki up as a offering to Thor. Even though she had no clue what was going to happen when they met up with each other. But right now, she needed to find where they had gone off to. and how dare that bastard prince go into her memories to what she had suffered. Even though now she would harm someone that he cared more about. And she knew that the lunarian is his weakness. That was something she knew now.
Thor, bella, and Bruce exit the Quinjet and start walking through the streets. Thor's still saying Natasha's mantra to Bruce to call him down. But bella sighed and knew they needed to get moving soon. Because she needs to see if her Loki is ok, but Thor and Bruce were talking and seeing what they could do about getting back inside of the palace to get them to a place where they could find a ride to get the hell off of this planet. And most of all causes a revolution inside of the palace as well. but for now, she needed to get the hell off this broken piece of crap. Now they are making their way through the crowds.
"Would you stop saying that!" said Bruce.
"Listen, we know you are going through something right now, but we need your help." Snapped bella.
bella says to Bruce trying to calm him down. She could see parts of his face turning green as Thor was explaining what had been going on. Bruce sits down on some steps in an alley, taking deep breaths to calm himself down. But he needed to know why she was willing to help him with this. Even though he was very comforted being around her. It was like the stories about the lunarian. They are peaceful people. But dangerous when they needed to be. And he really didn't want to be on her bad side right now. Thor sighed he knew bella was worried for Loki. But there was not much they could do for his brother until they find a way off this hell hole. They have a job to do, and it was to stop his evil bitch of a sister.
"We just need you to stay calm." Said Thor.
"Calm?! I'm on an alien planet." Said Bruce
"It's just a planet. You've been on a planet before." Said Thor
"My neurons are firing faster than my brain can handle the information. The whole thing is totally different this time. In the past, I always felt like Hulk and I each had a hand on the wheel. But this time it's like he had the keys to the car, and I was locked in the trunk." Said Bruce
Thor was trying his best to comfort his friend. But bella has been helping much more than he was doing right now. it seemed that she was using her power to help calm down Bruce green man side. He knew that lunarians were special when you meet them. but it seemed that the hulk was trying to break free again. But bella used her silver crystal to push the hulk back and so he was not able to come out again. Thor sighed he was happy she was on their side. Loki is one lucky man to have someone like this as his soulmate. But not the time to be thinking of such things.
"Listen, my people are in great danger. You, bella, and I have to fight this really bad, powerful being that also happens to be my sister." Said Thor
"That is so wrong on so many levels. I don't want to fight your sister. That's a family issue." Said Bruce
"No, no, no. She's an evil being." Said Thor
bella sighed this was something that she didn't want to get into with Thor. But she was willing to help since the place is special to her Loki. And her friends and family are there helping where it was needed. but for now, Bruce was not liking the fact that he was being brought into the middle of the family fighting once again. But bella has no idea on how to defeat someone like the goddess of death. but she and her family and friends will do the best as they could to kill her. but the best thing is for her to be tossed into the gates of hell. Even if she didn't have her sword spirits, she was still able to go send others there since she is the blood adopted daughter of king vegeta.
"I don't care what she is. I'm not fighting anymore wars. I'm sick of it. I just told you, if I turn into the Hulk I'm never going to come back again. And you don't care." Said Bruce
"I do care. I'm putting together a team. The Hulk is the fire." Said Thor
Thor finds a disguise which is just a blanket wrapped around his head and holds in front of his face. Since bella was not listening to their fighting no more. But she got Bruce to agree with the whole thing. Thor thanked her for even doing that for him. For bella, Thor found a bright pink blanket situated around her face so only her eyes were showing. Too many people could recognize her because the Grandmaster presented her to the Sakaarian people as his queen-to-be. Bruce ignores him and finds sunglasses in Tony's clothes. He puts them on. He puts one arm around Bruce's shoulder and grabs bella hand. He steers them both towards the street.
As soon as they're in the streets they see a parade going on celebrating Hulk. Everything's green. People are dressed like Hulk. There's even a giant Hulk head. Banner gets caught up in the crowd and disappears from Thor's side.
"Banner! Banner!" called Thor
Thor calls out as he grabs a hold of usagi hand. They start walking through the crowd searching for Bruce. Once they get to the middle of the celebration, bella spots Bruce. Still holding bella hand he runs over to Bruce in order to save him from the thing. He didn't need to lose her and have his brother anger at him if he lost his soulmate. Thor hands bella over to Bruce and then stands in front of the both in full protection mode. He was getting ready to fight, however the beast was electrocuted with the same device that Thor used to wear. The beast falls to the ground in pain and standing behind it is Scrapper 142. Thor doesn't really know what else to say. He's just trying to think of a way to get away from 142 thinking she is here to take all of them back to the Grandmaster.
"What are you doing here in the middle of this celebration? What are you doing here? I thought you all were leaving. What's with the blanket on your head?" asked 142
"It's my disguise." Said Thor
"I can see your face. If you were going for a disguise, then you should have made the blanket look like bella." said 142
142 points out seeing that bella blanket is covering everything except her eyes. Even though hers was far better than his since she used the Luna pen. But she dropped the disguise, so she was going to be going back to prison and suffer for the rest of her life after they were found. And now she is back in her cosmos form. 142 starts to walk away. Thor, bella, and Bruce just watch her leave. 142 turns around and tells them to follow her. As they follow behind 142, Bruce starts asking questions about her. He doesn't remember the time he spent with her as Hulk.
"What's on her face? Are those the people she killed? She's so beautiful and strong." Said thor
"Who is this guy?" asked 142
"Uh, he's a friend." Said Thor
142 was thinking she wondered that she met him before. But then again there was not much to go on. but there was something about this man that she knew of. But she would have to figure out that on her own. While bella sighed and was depressed about being sent back to the grandmaster. Thor saw the sad look in her eyes. He wanted to comfort her. but he didn't know if it was right or not. 142 sighed she should make sure that she reassures the poor female that she was not going back to the grandmaster. She was able to see that the man harms this poor girl. Even though she had no clue what the grandmaster had done to her. but she knew Loki is extremely protective over her. and he would do anything to protect the person he loved.
"I feel like I know you." said 142
"I feel like I know you, too." Said bruce
As they continue to walk down the hall, 142 stops and turns to them. Thor says to look to Bruce and Bella for confirmation. bella just shrugs her shoulders. While Thor told them the name, he was coming up with to battle with the group they wanted to build. And there are plenty of people and beings would enjoy coming in on this. He then looks to Bruce and bella as they made it to a room and the door opened. As she gives the peace offering. Thor, bella in her cosmos form, and Bruce look inside and see Loki tied to a chair. Once Loki sees then he says.
"Surprise." Said loki
Thor throws a small ball thing he found at Loki to see if this is another one of his tricks. Loki then sees Bruce walk into the room. While Bruce wondering how in the world was, he even still alive. He thought he was dead. While he was remembering the last time, they saw each other but Thor tossed something at Loki to make sure it was him and not one of his tricks. Loki glared at his stupid brother. But Bruce was wondering how he was still alive. bella in her cosmos form walks into the room she sees Loki tied up in the chair. She runs over to him and gives him a big hug and then starts to untie him. oh, how much she missed her loki. And finally, being able to hug him touch him. and smell him. Thor, Bruce, and 142 huddle together on the other side of the room to talk without Loki's prying ears.
"Sakaar and Asgard are very far apart. Our best bet is a wormhole just outside of city limits. We refuel on Xandar and we can be back in Asgard in 18 months." said 142
"Nope. We are going through the big one." Said Thor
"The Devil's Anus?" asked 142
bella choked on her own spit when she heard the name of the name of the portal they are going to be going through. Who in the name of the moon named a portal the devils anus? What the hell. did the grandmaster name the portal that. it wouldn't shock her that he named it that. he is a weird little man. Loki was so relieved to see his beloved here with him. Feeling her touch, she hugs him. but he saw how she reacted to the name of the portal they would need to go through to get to where they needed to go. While Bruce was thinking the same thing as well. Who the hell was they thinking of when they named these portals?
"For the record, I didn't know it was called that when I picked it." said 142
"That looks like a collapsing neutron star inside of an Einstein-Rosen Bridge." Said Bruce
"We need another ship. That wormhole would tare mine to pieces." Said 142
"She's right. We need one that can withstand the force of that wormhole." Said thor
"I don't mean to impose." Said bella
Loki throws out with bella behind him, still trying to get him untied. But it was not an easy task for them to even do. but Loki was happy she was here with him. and he was going to get them out of here. And he was going to tell them that he was able to get the ships to the grandmaster. While Thor was wondering when it was time to tell his brother what his connection to bella is. But he smiled when he saw how happy she was around Loki. This was the best thing that could happen to his brother. Since bella is a very kind soul but also one you don't wish to be on the bad side of either. But she would keep his brother in line for not doing anything bad or evil no more. Loki wanted to know if she was ok, she. He knew she was not at full power yet.
"The Grandmaster has a great many ships. I may have even stolen the access codes to his security system." Said Loki
"Suddenly you're overcome with an urge to do the right thing." Said thor
"Heavens no. I've run out of favor with the Grandmaster. I've been trying to find a way to get off this planet with bella. In exchange for codes and access to a ship I'm asking for safe passage through the Anus." Said Loki
"You're telling us you can get us access into the garage without setting off any alarms?" asked Thor.
"Yes, brother. I can." Said Loki
Bruce walks over and pulls 142 and Thor away from Loki to talk once again. While Bruce wondered why Loki would wish to help them. maybe he has changed since they last encountered each other. But then again there were a lot of things that happened since they all ran into each other. But it seemed that Loki found someone, and it has to be bella of all people Thor sighed he might want to announce what he knows of what bella and Loki are to each other. But Bruce wanted to put peace with this one. He didn't trust loki. Even though he changed. But he was still not going to trust him in all of this. While Thor sighed and knew this was going to be a tough one. During this time bella and Loki have their own conversation.
"So, did you figure it out yet?" asked Thor
"Thor…what are you implying?" asked Loki
"What about Loki?" asked bella
bella narrowed her eyes at Thor as if he has been hiding something from her and Loki since they first met each other. But then again there was something important that should have been said sooner than later. But they had no idea where he was going with this. Thor sighed Loki is smart and intelligent since it was something. Thor sighed he knew that it was time for him to say something now before they all headed out in battle. bella stopped untying Loki to see if there was going to be something be told that they should have been told before.
"You know. Your soul mate bonds with Loki." Chirped thor
"Um, bella. You, ok?" asked thor
"What did you just say?" asked bella
"Did you figure out that you and Loki have a soul mate bond? I thought it was obvious. Are you seriously telling me you didn't know. So much glorious news." Chirped Thor
Loki could see the bond as soon as he saw the two walks into the room, so he didn't understand why bella was freaking out. She was his soulmate and she needed him to help her through this. He knew why she was thinking and acting the way she is since he knew her whole story. And this news should o been told to them in a better situation. While Thor was smiling like a moron that he is. While Bruce mouth was open not sure what to say. And then the other woman looked like she was about to vomit from the mere idea that Loki had a soul mate. bella doesn't respond, she just runs out of the room hearing Loki call her name. She couldn't deal with the others right now. She had to think this through. Bella slides down the wall, curling into herself getting lost in her thoughts.
"I knew I felt a connection with loki but I didn't want to get my hopes up. But mates? Why did we have to be mates? Is he going to leave me now, too?! Of course, I love him, I can't deny that. And I don't want to fight it, but this is too good to be true." thought bella
She knew that Loki wasn't endymion or edward. Yes, her ex-husbands were wonderful people. But they were not her soulmates. And now Thor blurted out that she and Loki are soul mates. Plus, Loki is so much better. He is perfect and I'm broken beyond repair. Loki deserves better. And there is always that pessimistic thought that if he didn't want this, I would be so much worse than when Edward left. If Loki was gone, I would never recover.
Meanwhile with everyone else
Back in the room was Thor, Bruce, Valkyrie, and Loki who was still semi tied up. Thor is smiling like a moron and was happy for his brother. Bruce, and Valkyrie stop talking when they see bella run out. But then again there was something there was going to go wrong if the grandmaster was to find her. and Thor could have used a better way to say to what they are with each other. She was his and only his. And he was going to make sure she was going to be ok. Thor didn't know her back history of the pain and suffering she had endured since the first silver kingdom. and now Thor just had to blurt out that and maybe have her captured.
"bella! Can someone please untie me? Quickly. I must go after her! You guys don't know her past and the pain she suffered. And I'm worried the grandmaster would get his hands on her." cried Loki
Bruce and Valkyrie freeze with a surprised look on their face. They couldn't believe Loki was showing this much concern. Loki was looking out the door, facing an internal war of whether to go after her or not. Loki was just now realizing this but when he wasn't with bella he was concerned and worried about her. He felt the need to protect her, to look out for her, and to always be with her. The one thing he never wanted to do, or more like couldn't do, had hurt her. Loki wanted more than to just bed her, he wanted a life with her. Loki was freed by his brother and was out the door and running down the hallway. He stops when he hears haggard breathing. Thor turns the corner and sees bella sitting on the floor with her arms holding herself together. Loki notices she's having trouble breathing. Loki rushes over and kneels in front of her. He needed to get her through this.
"My beloved moon angel, take deep breaths and try to calm yourself." Pleaded Loki
Loki tried to make his voice as soothing and comforting as possible even though he was freaking out on the inside. She was still having difficulty. He needed to get her back to normal state of mind. he was going to kick his brother ass when it came down to when he announced something like that. but he was going to get her back to normal breathing. They had no concern for her. and she was willing to help them. and had her friends and family to help people she never met before. He was not going to let them harm her again like that. but he needed to get her to listen to him.
"My moon angel, can you look in my eyes?" pleaded Loki
bella clinched her eyes shut as she shakes her head and closes in on herself more. Dammit Thor why not say this when there was nothing horrid going on. and blurt this out in the open. He didn't know of her past. And this is what is happening. He sighed and knew this was going to be a hard on her. but he knew she loved him too. but he needed her to understand he would never hurt her or harm her in any way. He wishes he was able to kill that bastard endymion. But she already sent him to the gates of hell. Well, then he tossed her here.
"That's good. Now listen to my voice. Take deep breaths and try to calm down." Said Loki
Loki once again while wrapping her in a hug. As he was trying to sooth her to get her back to the right state of mind. A few minutes later, Bella was back to her normal breathing. She was just wondering what and why did Thor had to blurt out that the way he did. Even though she wanted to kick his ass for that. it was rude of him to spring something like that on her. Loki sighed in relief when he heard her breathing normally. And no longer having a panic attack. That brought relief to Loki and he was not going to have to worry much about her right now.
"I'm sorry I freaked out." Said bella
"It's ok, I know why you did what you did. I'm not him. and I won't judge you for your ex-husbands who are your friends now and your children." Said loki
loki leaned back against the wall with her and put his arm over her shoulder. loki looked right back into her beautiful pink and red eyes. They reminded him of his frost giant blood line. Her hair is silver as the moon. And beautiful. bella sighed and averted her eyes and bit her lip. loki had to fight back a groan seeing this. She is all his. And knew he must do what he must to protect her. He should have known that the connection they had when they first met each other.
"I didn't know, but I should have. And I'm sorry I've been so distracted. As soon as we met, I felt a spark between us, an instant connection." Said loki
"I love you, loki, But I have a lot of baggage. I don't deserve you. You're so perfect, you could have anyone you want." Said bella
"Don't ever say that again! Do you not see how amazing you are? You obviously don't understand how beautiful you truly are. I love you and once all of this was over, I was going to see if you wanted to be with me. I decided to do this from the first moment we met. This was before I even noticed the soul mate bond. I want you. I want this. I want us to be together. Is that something you would also want?" said loki
bella smiled brightly and nods eagerly with tears in her eye. loki pulls her to him and he kisses her. Once bella got over her surprise, she snaked her hands around loki neck and wrapped her hands in his midnight black hair. She pulled him closer to deepen their kiss. The kiss was so much more than bella could ever hope it would be. It was filled with so much passion and romance. This was a kiss of pure love. It was also a promise. A promise that said they would get through this and face anything that came their way. bella couldn't help but compare loki kiss to her ex-husbands. Or endymion. Or even Edward. It was like they were on opposite ends of the spectrum. bella realized that this was a real kiss. What she did with her ex-husband was child's play. Thor left her lips tingling. She also liked how Thor was the same temperature as her. They pull back to catch their breath and smile at each other. bella blushed.
"You know, Dr. Strange told me he saw a great change in my future. That destiny had plans for me. I told him I had plans for destiny, but I wasn't expecting you." Said loki
Bella felt her heart flutter as she giggled. Loki helps her up and they hold hands walking back to the room. Once back in the room they all begin planning. Loki gets lost in his thoughts. Even though he and Loki had just recently met, he knew that she was born to be Loki mate. She wasn't just there for Loki, she was also there to help Thor to find his own mate. He just knew it and he wouldn't allow anyone to hurt his new sister.
To be continued
