DZ2: Well, that's an interesting idea for Wormtail's punishment, my old friend, but I will do you one better … LOL …
Chapter 20
Harry and Percy crashed onto Azkaban Island with a bone-rattling impact.
"Harry?"
"Yeah, Percy?"
"Did anyone get the license plate of that truck that ran us over?"
"Sorry about the impact, cousins," said Loki above them as he helped them to their feet.
"It's my first time landing with your hammer in hand, Loki," said Harry. "I would need more practice."
"No kidding there, Harry," said Percy under his breath. "That hammer has a mind of its own." Then he noted the corpses scattered around the prison, their faces frozen in a look of utmost horror, as well as an unending lake of blood. "What in the Underworld happened here?"
"From the atmosphere, I would say he came, he saw, and he slaughtered," said Harry.
Loki's grinning face confirmed it with a nod. "The Dementors are dead as well. Voldemort will have no reinforcements when he comes back. I dedicate these spoils to the gods, in particular to my Father, Lord Hades."
Hades flamed up into the prison. "Thank you, Loki, for this sacrifice. The damned souls of these Death Eaters are suffering as I speak in the Fields of Punishment for their horrific acts while alive."
Loki steepled his fingers. "Excellent, Father. So, what's your plan for here?"
"As soon as the three of you have left, I'm adding this prison back to My kingdom, where it belongs. By the way, the Minister had nothing to do with your imprisonment, Loki; it was all Umbitch's idea. He was so angry at her, he commanded her to free you and apologize to the Pantheon, under threat of losing her job if you should die or if she harms one hair on your head."
Loki's eyebrows raised at the news, but they dropped as his face adopted a sharklike smile. "While I am grateful for the exoneration, Father, I have no interest in talking to her. Not even the sincerest apology she could muster would suffice for me; I WANT HER DEAD!"
Lightning flashed and the thunderclap shook the prison as Hades looked to Harry and Percy. "You see, My dear nephews? This is why you don't piss off one of My kids ..."
Percy nodded. "Has anybody noted that Loki is like a darker, crazier version of Harry?"
Loki's sotto voce chuckle grew into a maniacal laugh at that statement.
Percy nodded. "I rest my case."
Harry looked at Loki, then back at Percy. "Yeah, Seaweed Brain … I see your point."
Within his cackle, Loki said in a sing-song voice, "She's here ..."

Madam Umbridge did not even receive a chance to speak with Loki. The flashing lightning caused her to wobble as she tried to avoid it, and a tidal wave washed her into the North Sea. While she had never seen the movie "Jaws," she could not deny the ominous nature of the growling low semitone interval that repeated itself in the background, and her fears spiked as the realization dawned on her: she was going to die. Her death was gruesome and painful as the shark ripped her body apart and ate each bloody piece of her.
Loki licked his lips. "Delicious terror and death … Fatality!"
Percy looked at him in puzzlement. "I thought the Sea was my Dad's domain."
"Why, Percy, nobody denies that," said Loki, "but Death can arrive in so many forms … even by way of a bloodthirsty shark."
They saw a ship arise from the sea. "AHOY, CAPTAIN!" said a voice. "LANDLUBBERS OUT TO STARBOARD!"
The Captain opened his telescope and looked. "Well, gods above bless me eyes! AHOY, DEMIGODS! YE HAVE ME PERMISSION TO COME ABOARD! Now, where is that soul bound fer Davy Jones's Locker? Ah, thar she is!"

"What kind of ship is this?" said Percy. "It looks like a ghost ship, and yet, we who are alive can walk on it like any other?"
The Captain appeared. He looked like any other pirate captain, with the pegleg, the sword and all – except that his head looked like a squid had taken up permanent residence thereon, he had a lobster claw for one hand, and a squid tentacle for the other. "It be not customary, brother, to have the living aboard The Flying Dutchman, but for ye three, I be glad to make an exception."
"Have you ever wondered, Percy, what a Twice-Blessed Demigod of Poseidon and Hades would look like?" said Loki. "You're looking at Him: Captain Davy Jones, condemned to an Immortality of wandering the Seas forever in search of people who have died at Sea."
"As odd as it may sound, Master Loki, this job does have its perks as well, such as the punishment and torture of any damned souls I find, such as this repulsive wench ye brought Me ..." His pegleg scraped along the deck as he came up to the ghost of Umbridge. "Dolores Jane Umbridge: do you fear Death? Do you fear that awful Abyss? The gods see your sins fer what they are, and They will take great delight in your torment for the rest of Eternity, as will I. After all: Life is cruel. Why should the Afterlife be any different? To Davy Jones's Locker ye will go, YE-HARR! LADDIES!"
The crewmen, looking like the offspring of humans and sea creatures, arrived on deck. "Aye, Cap'n?"
"Take this wench daughter of a banshee and make her feel welcome aboard."
"Aye," said the bosun as he dragged Umbridge along, the other crewmen grinning around her. Several moments later, the crack of a cat o' nine tails sounded along with a screech of pain, much to Loki's and Captain Jones's amusement …
Author's Note: Another fun chapter. Read and review!
Smiles and laughter,

P.S.,
1. If any of y'all want to add me on Facebook, you may do so. Just look up Patrick Palmer (the profile picture is the same as my profile picture on my Fanfic author page. ;) ;) Hint, hint … Just let me know who you are as you add me. Hey, if StormyFireDragon can invite people to add him on Facebook, why can't I? ;P)
2. For an idea of what Loki's laugh in Azkaban sounds like, just look up the laugh of Light Yagami/Kira in Death Note, especially during the last episode. Chilling stuff, eh?
