A.N: Once again, I owe a big thank you to my dear friend, Loki's best friend. Without your help, this chapter would not have come together as well as it has. I hope you all love this chapter. Please read and review?

The guests had all arrived and were seated. Odin sat on his throne, Loki stood at the bottom of the steps on the right side. Vinius stood to the side of him. Thor and his friends stood strategically around the room, keeping an eye out for any trouble that might come from Laufey or anyone he may have tried to sneak in. Thor and his friends each had a trio of guards that were theirs to command in the event of anything going wrong.

Loki and Ava had told Odin about the portal that led from the Jotunheim into Asgard. Guards hid in the trees and bushes where that portal was, waiting for anyone to use it. The weapons vault was also heavily guarded. Hopefully, nothing would happen and the event would go off without a hitch. Loki did his best not to think about what his father might be up to, but he couldn't help but to let his mind wander there.

The music began to play, signifying the beginning of the wedding. Nessa walked down the aisle and came to stand at the left, next to where Ava would be standing. The beat of the music changed and the golden curtains at the end of the aisle parted to reveal Ava. As soon as Loki caught sight of his bride, all thoughts of his father and anything that could go wrong vanished. All he could think about was Ava and how beautiful she looked.

Ava looked up at him and their eyes met. Both of them smiled at each other. Ava's cheeks took on a rosy tint. She soon made her way to him, standing beside him. They both turned and faced Odin. Odin stood up and looked down at them. He then looked at the audience. "Today we are gathered to unite these two souls in the bonds of matrimony." He began. "And in uniting them, we will also be uniting two worlds that have been part of a shaky truce and hopefully healing old wounds."

Loki was suddenly hyper aware of his father sitting not far from where he and Ava stood. He could almost feel his father glaring through him to Odin. In that moment, Ava felt that her father was truly using her relationship with Loki, their love, and their wedding day as a way to bait Laufey. Suddenly, the happiest day of her life didn't feel like it was.

Odin didn't get the chance to finish the ceremony, for it was at that moment, Laufey and his warriors made their move. Laufey rose from his seat. "The Jotunheim will never join with Asgard! We will always be enemies…but today Asgard falls!"

With that a large group of Frost Giants broke through the doors and began fighting with the Thor, his friends, and the guards. Odin had to join the fight as well, taking out several of them with his scepter. One of Laufey's warriors charged at Ava. Loki pushed Ava out of the way and drew a dagger and had to fight with the other giant.

This gave Laufey the opportunity to sneak up behind Ava and grab her. Ava screamed and kicked, but she couldn't get free. Loki plunged his dagger into the throat of the other Giant he was fighting. He then turned and saw that his father had Ava. He started towards them, when Laufey formed a dagger of ice in his hand and held it to Ava's throat. Ava stopped her struggling.

"Let her go!" Loki shouted at his father.

Laufey smiled cruelly at his son. "Just let me get what I want and no harm will come to your precious Ava." He then began to back away, out the back exit of the throne room.

Loki didn't hesitate to run after his father. He had to save his Ava. A group of five Giants stepped out of the halls in front of Loki, to block his path. Loki recognized two of them, Aric and Calder. They smiled cruelly at him. "Well, well now we can finally get revenge on the little freak, who betrayed his people all for some little whore." Aric said.

Loki's temper flared. "Don't you ever speak about Ava that way!" He then charged at the people he had once wanted to accept him, ready to kill them. He had to get them out of his way so that he could get to Ava.

They began throwing punches and kicks. Loki used his magic to trick them and miss most of their blows. Unfortunately, he couldn't dodge them all. He took a blow from behind him and fell to the ground. The other giants surrounded him and laughed. "Finally, we get to take down the traitor prince." Calder said.

Just as they were about to finish Loki off, they were quickly knocked away. Loki turned and looked to see Thor as he called his hammer back to him. He walked over to Loki and offered him his hand. "Come on, let's go save my sister."

Loki took Thor's hand and allowed him to help him up. "Thank you." He said.

"Where do you think your father would be going?" Thor asked.

"He wants the casket." Loki answered.

"To the weapons vault then." Thor said.

They took off down the hall, Thor leading the way. They arrived at the weapons vault at the same time Laufey was entering, still carrying Ava. They ran in and found Laufey walking towards the casket. "Stop this, Father." Loki called.

Laufey turned. "Take one more step and she gets it." He said, pressing his ice dagger tighter to Ava's throat and drawing a thin line of blood.

Thor and Loki both stopped in their tracks. "Put my sister down and you won't get hurt." Thor told Laufey.

"I'm taking the casket and I won't be letting the princess go until I have it." Laufey said.

Odin and a group of his guards appeared at the back entrance of the vault, by the casket. "Let her go Laufey." Odin commanded.

Laufey was looking between the casket, Odin and his guards, and Thor and Loki. He was surrounded and had to do something. He removed his hand that was holding the dagger to Ava's throat and created ice daggers to throw at Odin and his guards. He then threw Ava down the steps.

Ava threw her hands out in front of her on instinct to try and catch herself. Loki ran to her and caught her before she could land on the floor. "Ava, my love are you alright?" He asked, looking at his beloved with concern in his green eyes.

"I'm alright." Ava answered.

While everyone was distracted, Laufey took the opportunity to lunge for the casket, but it was only an illusion and he fell into a trap, landing himself into an Asgardian prison cell and chains binding him. The illusion over the entire room broke and they all stood in the dungeon.

They all looked around, completely confused by the illusion. They then turned to see Frigga, Farbauti, and Nessa entering the room. "It appears out trap worked." Farbauti said.

"Indeed it did." Frigga agreed.

Nessa walked over to Loki and Ava. "Here let me take a look." She said. She then took a look at the thin cut on Ava's throat. She held her fingertips over it and allowed her healing powers to flow through her and heal the cut and any other injuries Ava and the baby may have taken at the hands of Laufey.

"Thank you." Ava told Nessa once she was finished.

Nessa gave her a soft smile. "Anything for you, my friend.

Ava then slowly stood, with Loki's help. She turned and fixed a glare on her father. "This...this is all your fault!"
