Chapter 44 – 'Eye' see you part II
Jacen, Mira, and Erin were sitting in the Ghost's common area, oblivious from the woes of the outside world. Their parents had forbidden them from interfering with 'Operation Eye-Removal'. Sira had been ordered to keep an eye on them. To keep them otherwise occupied, Fenrir had told the kids to see a lecture on the different cosmic energies and that once this was over, he would quiz them. The lecture begun as this.
"Welcome young scholars, in today's class I shall provide a brief overview of the different cosmic energies that surround us", came the voice of Loki from the holovid.
"Grannpa", Erin smiled.
"To the knowledge of the Aesir, there exists four different cosmic energies. One could also say that these 4 cosmic energies are in effect created by the Supreme Gods' – Buri and the ones who preceded him. You will learn more about in a history lesson."
"I already know", Jacen shrugged.
"The first cosmic energy", Loki raised his index finger, "is the 'Force'". The kids couldn't feel the force coming from Loki's hands but nodded, nonetheless. As Loki spoke, a candle lit behind him.
"The second cosmic energy", Loki raised his middle finger, "is the 'Mana'". The kids looked in confusion as a slab of candle wax came into view behind him.
"The third cosmic energy", Loki raised his ring finger grimly, "is the 'Curse'". The kids all shuddered at that as they saw was rotting wood.
"The fourth and final…and the most important cosmic energy ", Loki raised his fourth finger, "is the 'Rune'."
"What's that?", Mira asked out loud.
Near the ruins of the Jedi Temple on Lothal. Fenrir was doing his best to limit the eye's influence upon Lothal, but against Rune magic he was having little effect. Rune Magic, which was the greatest power in the Universe (rumoured to have created the Infinity Stones) allowed to its user to bend thought and reality to their will.
Behind him, Fenrir sensed a familiar presence. Turning towards it he saw the gigantic wolf – Dume. Dume bowed to him, "You had gone off with Mortis all those years ago."
"Yes, master", Dume rumbled.
"Your job was to make sure he didn't do anything preposterous. You have failed and now this world is paying the price for it", Fenrir's eyes glowed slightly.
Dume remained silent, unable to refute what Fenrir had said. Fenrir then issued commands to the Lothwolves to spread out and destroy any ruin of the Jedi Temple. Above them, was a small fleet of Eurazanian fighters that Fenrir had called for. These fighters, though more advanced than the ones the Republic and the Empire had were proving to be nothing more than an annoyance to the Eye. So much so, that the eye created purple blobs of energy to attack them. These blobs could whip out tentacle like appendages to strike the fighters in range and shoot out acidic balls.
Bruce had gone up to fight these blobs at Fenrir's orders while the Starbird and the Phantom II were up there as well. Suddenly Fenrir's head whipped towards the sky where he saw a flaming object crash towards the planet. A sense of dread washed through the Beast Lord as he saw what crawled out of the crater.
An eight-foot tall being walked towards him, his every step causing planet wide tremors, his body glowed green, and energy radiated off of him in droves. The Hulk had lost all control and became the living embodiment of rage. This alone was not causing Fenrir's dread but the fact that he saw the rune of destruction tattooed upon Hulk's torso.
"Allfathers help us", Fenrir whispered as he grappled with the Hulk, unable to stop the ensuing destruction.
A few minutes before Hulk crashed, the Eye noticed a powerful entity approaching it. It identified the entity as Rayleigh – God of Destruction and took quick action against it. Even the mighty Rayleigh could do nothing against Rune magic and found a part of his power robbed and he himself was locked in some hellish dimension.
The Outer Guard of the Nine Realms, created to defend Yggdrasil and its realms against the vast untamed and dangerous space. A massive battle was taking place right now. The Outer Guard had members from each realm, including Helheim (save Midgard), they were directly under the Allfather's command. They were created long ago once the Dark Gods of Narcisson were locked away. Following the Dark Elf War and the Apocalypse, their numbers had decreased with Thor now doing his best to bolster them.
Currently they were engaged in a terrible battle, with ships on both sides either being destroyed or already destroyed. The enemy was spearheading their attack and had managed to punch through the Outer Guard blockade.
A number of small objects had now entered the Nine Realms and were heading towards Midgard.
