Sorry if you might be a little disappointed in this chapter, if you like it I am happy if not again I am sorry. This is fanfiction after all, Please enjoy!
Chapter 8
We put shields up before they began firing at us, but they won't last very long. Everyone is panicking and I look at Thor and can tell this will most likely be the end of us all. If only we had the space stone, then I look at Loki and ask just for curiosity.
"Please tell me you picked up the tesseract while you were in the vault?" he was stunned that I would ask? Or stunned that I figure he would?
"If I did? What good will it do us my sister in-law?"
"Loki did you do it? Did you pick it up? Answer us! Bella what good will the tesseract do us right now?" Thor asked hoping that I would have a plan and was glaring at Loki.
"I may have a plan but its risky to all of us, but if he didn't pick it up then there is no point wasting what could be our last moments."
"I may have picked it up brother and I would very much like to hear what your wife has in mind." Loki smirked then looked at me.
"It will be a long shot, but we use it like we would the Bifrost only it may be a little bumpy for everyone. I can shield the entire ship then use the stone to transport us to anywhere you think would be helpful."
"Bella? How would we know that will work? And how would we direct it and where?" Loki asked now intrigued while Thor was staring at me.
"Where would we go? Bella how dangerous will this be?"
"Well, where we go is depending on if we go get you a new hammer made or something, and as far as dangerous? We four would have to join to go where we need to go. Meaning Heimdall would be our eyes to direct us and we would balance out the power, so it doesn't burn me out or kill me. But we need to hurry this ship isn't made to take this kind of beating." They all look at me with a shocked expression
"How do we join together?" Asked Heimdall and Thor nodded to him like he asked the very question that was on his mind.
"Heimdall and I will have to hold the cube at the same time and you two will then stand on either side and grab our hands. It is a long shot, but it is the best we got right now."
"Bella can you even stretch your shield that far out? And are you sure we can keep you safe?" Thor asked me worried.
"Yes, I had been practicing on expanding my shield ever since I learned I could project it. In fact, I am right now, and we need to hurry."
"You mean your what is protecting us this very minute? Loki lets get to work, what else do we need?" Thor was now worried.
"It will take Bella and my magic combined to transport this entire ship, but we should be able to jump to somewhere safer than where we are now." Loki said fishing the cube out of his jacket.
"Heimdall you have to get us to the forge so the dwarves can make me a new weapon." Thor said getting anxious as we got in the middle of the ship.
"I will my king I will make sure Bella is guided on a quick path."
We both grab the cube and I can feel the power of the stone and then I can see where we need to go. Then Loki and Thor grab ahold of Heimdall and my hands and then Loki and I combine our magic to transport us to the forge. I hear everyone saying to be calm and quiet as we initiate the extremely high-powered teleport spell as I run it through my shield. The power is almost too much, but several other Asgardians grab hold of our shoulders as we transport to the forge. Once we arrive, we quit drawing power from the tesseract. Several run to the windows and cheered we made it and I collapse against Thor as he catches me.
"Remind me to never do that spell again dear husband, I felt as though I was becoming one with the universe. And I have to say it wasn't very comfortable either. I think I need a nap." Then I knew no more for the next ten hours, I think.
THOR'S POV
When Bella first suggested this crazy idea, I wasn't too sure it would work but she and Loki pulled it off. Although they both passed out after we arrived, now I need to go check on the forge it has gone cold.
"As I told our new queen she is and will be worthy of her title. I see the ship has gone another direction, so we are safe for now my king." Heimdall said as I sat with Bella stroking her hair.
"She will be fine and so will your brother. They are just exhausted my king." The healer said as I listen to her and I am thankful for that.
"Thank you, how long before she wakes?"
"I would not wake her she will be out for at least eight to ten hours."
"Why didn't it affect us like this?"
"Because she needed control to power the spell my king." Heimdall said and I nod
We have several craftsmen that will be going over to the forge to see if we can get it fired up and to check on the dwarves. I leave Bella in the care of the healers in the meantime. When we get over to the forge it is a mess and there appeared to be no one alive. Until I am attacked by one and find out that Thanos is responsible. And it was here that he got a gauntlet made to hold the infinity stones. So, now we know who and how they are planning to harness the power of all six stones.
"I can forge a weapon designed for a king, but I need to get the forge fired up again."
"What is the name of this weapon for a king?" I ask curiously
"Stormbreaker." Eitri the last remaining dwarf said with reverence
We use the first ship we arrived to Asgard in to move the rings and restart the forge. Then when the mechanism malfunctions, I must go and hold open the iris so we can fire the forge. This must be what it felt like for Bella when she transported us here, the pain is unimaginable. When Eitri said he had enough I was never so glad to let go of the controls. If I ever survive this, I will not be telling Bella about this, ever.
The last thing I saw I was being flung toward the forge. Then I wake to feeling the power unlike anything I have felt with my hammer. I look down and see I have healed, and I feel better than ever. But I am still not telling Bella about this she would kick my ass if I did.
"Your highness with this axe you will be able to call forth the Bifrost, so you won't need to use that. What is that you arrived in?" Eitri said eyeing the ship we used to evacuate our people on.
"Uh my king your queen has just woke up and someone told her of your actions on relighting the forge. She isn't looking very happy right now." All I can do is take a deep breath and hope she doesn't kick my ass to badly, she comes in and glares at me then looks at my new axe and shakes her head and then snorts? Yes, she snorted.
"Well, at least we now match my husband, but if you pull something like that again? I will take great pleasure in kicking your ass! Now I think I deserve a little kiss from my crazy husband, don't you?" I pick her up and swing her around and she squeals I set her down and kiss her like my life depends on it.
"That's more like it my sweet husband, now what shall we do now?"
"I can call forth the Bifrost with my new axe Bella, so we wont need weeks on a ship or your crazy transport spell and risk your health."
"That is a relief my husband. So, we are going to earth then? What do we do with the stone? Is there anyway to destroy it?" Bella asked me hopefully, but I am not sure.
"I am not sure if we can destroy it. Well not safely anyway."
"What would happen if we sent it into a star? Would the heat and pressure be enough to destroy it?"
"I am unsure, but it would make it impossible to retrieve the stone." Loki said coming up behind me.
"Brother how are you feeling?"
"Better now that we aren't trying to fry your wife along with all of us."
"So, its back to earth? Are we going straight to Norway? Or are we announcing to the whole world that we have arrived?" Bella asked me
"I think with as long as we will have to leave the Bifrost open to send all our people there? I think they will know something is up." Loki said looking green at the thought of facing the Midgard justice.
"If I may? What if you throwing the stone in a star is a bad idea? Like say it causes it to go supernova bad?" Bruce asked us, well there goes that idea.
"Good point. So, we make sure Thanos keeps his hands off the tesseract? I can see that going over really well with earth." Loki said sarcastically
So, I start thinking about how I met my Bella six years ago when I thought I had nothing left. Then I get run over by Darcy and wake to see an angel looking at me. I am one lucky man to have found her when I was at my lowest. As I look down at her she looks up at me and grins like she knows what I am thinking about.
"What has you in such deep thought Thor?"
"Just remembering when we found each other Bella."
"Hmm, yes that was something else wasn't it? That was when my life really turned around, to find you was like a miracle for had I not been there we might not have ever met. That is until a couple of years later."
"Hmm, you know you two really make me want to vomit? We need to go someplace we can defend not on this forge or that party barge as Bella called it when she woke up." Loki said rolling his eyes
Bella snickered at Loki and then we gathered everyone to activate the Bifrost. We told everyone to keep moving until we all have exited. When I called forth the Bifrost Bella was amazed at it, once we had everyone through Heimdall, Loki, Bella and myself went through. When we exited, we were in Norway the sky was blue and we were close to where father met his end with mother and journeyed to Valhalla together. It still saddens me that they have moved on, and that we were never told of our older sister or the truth. Everyone begins casting magic and we begin forming our city, it still amazes me at the magic that our people can wield, and the craftsmen are using the supplies that we got from Eitri to begin making our own weapons. But weapons are not the only thing they will be making we will need to rebuild our life.
Bella begins helping with her magic, sure she is still new to using her magic, but she is still quite talented. She gets a gleam in her eye as she watches entire buildings rise from the earth. The stone here is strong, and we will need supplies soon, I wonder if Tony would help us out on some of things we need. So, I will go ask my beautiful wife if she thinks her uncle would mind giving us a hand.
"Bella, so you think your uncle Tony would mind in giving us a hand until we can provide for ourselves?"
"I don't think he would mind at all actually, let me call him and see."
She goes to step away from everyone and makes the call, I wonder how she keeps that phone charged? The news must be bad if she looks like that. She comes running over and calls over to Bruce to come over.
"We need to go help there is someone attacking vision for his stone and then that strange fellow is also being attacked. Apparently, he also has a stone and they are in New York, but I am not sure where vision is."
"I can send you a short distance my king." Heimdall said as he comes up and looks toward New York I would imagine.
"Okay, lets go do this my friend. Bella are you ready?"
"Ready, coming Bruce?"
"What? Oh yeah sure let's do this."
We step thru the Bifrost and walkout in New York. We are just in time to prevent that strange fellow from being beamed up to the ship. We then must face someone with impressive magic, that is until Bella appears behind him and knocks him out. Then we have someone with a nasty looking hammer but between the four of us we will take him. The hulk is on him quickly and he is being thrown around like he was nothing. I take my shot and light him up with a charged strike with my axe then Bella comes up and removes one of his arms. I wonder what her fascination is with arms? Just as he is about to retaliate the hulk grabs him and takes his hammer away and is beating him with his own hammer. Bella goes back and chops the guys head off that has the powerful magic. Then hulk and I double team the big guy as Tony blasts the guys head off. We then go and search for the strange fellow and he is unconscious for now.
"Boy am I glad to see you guys; we got our asses handed to us. Hey big guy where you been for over the last two years?"
"Hulk smash for fun. Friends came and got hulk."
"He was on a planet surrounded by wormholes called Sakaar, Hulk had quite the fan club going on there." Bella patting hulk on the arm he then picks her up and swings her around making her laugh.
"Has anyone heard how vision is doing?" Bella asked after hulk set her down then some smallish guy comes in asking if we needed anymore help.
"So, who is your friend uncle?" Bella asked Tony smirking
"Huh? Oh, this is uh my new protégé since I can never keep you around for very long hells bells. He is the friendly neighborhood Spiderman."
"Oh yeah I remember hearing about him the last time I was here. Well uncle we will be around for good because Asgard was destroyed, and we were wondering if you could help us get back on our feet."
"Seriously? You aren't pulling my leg, are you? Uh does this mean there are like a lot of Asgardians now on earth?"
"Yes, I am afraid so Tony for we had nowhere else to go and we have always had a fondness for Midgard."
"Okay, well point break I will help you guys out with anything I can, but we also need to address this that just happened."
We then begin telling him about Thanos and his active search for the infinity stones. We begin by calling Steve and set up a place where we can meet. Its decided Wakanda is where we will face off with the forces of Thanos. We then go help Dr. Strange up since he is finally coming around. We then inform him of the plan, and he is reluctant to go to Wakanda and have all three stones together. We then go to Stark tower and Tony gave Bella a brand-new suit made with nanotech. It will repair itself and form several different shapes for whatever is needed. She is so excited she is jumping around, then she says I am starving I need food now.
So, Tony gets ten large pizzas and we eat on the quinjet, Dr. Strange just watches Bella like she was the strange one. But she isn't paying him no mind while she has one slice of pizza in one hand and the other, she is going over what we can get for our people.
"Don't take this the wrong way Bella, but you seem different somehow from the first time we met several weeks ago." Dr. Strange said still eyeing her she stops eating and looks over at him and blinks.
"What do you mean Dr. Strange?"
"You seem to be putting out more magic than normal or I should say from the first time we met." She scrunches up her nose and furrows her eyebrows, she is so adorable I just want to go over and kiss her senseless.
"Well, we did use a stone to transport uh a ship from one point in space to another, it might have magnified my magic? I am not really sure, but we will have to ask our healers about it when we get back." And she shrugs and goes back to eating her pizza.
We get to Wakanda at the same time Steve and the others do and we follow them into the barrier. When we land there are several dark-skinned people that come out to meet us and apparently know Steve and Tony. There is a little heated argument between Tony and Steve about some guy with an artificial arm. Bella calms Tony down and asked what the issue was, and we get the facts that Bucky killed his mother and father and Steve kind of knew about it.
This will be the massive final face off we hope. The plan to remove the mind stone from vision will take time, and hopefully they will have the time before they show up.
BELLA'S POV
I begin thinking we could really use some backup here, so I go and ask the king if its okay to call Fury and if possible, SHIELD. He is hesitant but give us the okay. I track down Uncle Tony, Thor, and Steve to ask them if we should call in for backup. I find uncle drooling over the tech that the Wakanda people have advanced further than everyone could have guessed. Then I find Thor and Steve talking to vision as they try to remove the mind stone from his forehead. I then find out Wanda will be able to destroy it with her power while I am standing there listening.
"We need to decide if we need to call Fury and Shield in on this, you know for backup?" they all look at me like I was nuts but several nod
"Is that wise? What will they do once the secret is out about how advanced Wakanda is above everyone else? Did you run this by the king?" Steve asked worried though I can't figure out why.
"I asked him first actually and he said we may need the backup. And he said he would worry about the secret later when we either beat Thanos or we won't need to worry about it at all because we will be dead. His words not mine."
"Alright, Tony we will let you make the calls since we are pretty much fugitives here." Steve said then walked away uncle glared at his back.
So, uncle did the call and Fury is coming with the old Heli carrier along with plenty of SHIELD backup. Plus, Fury said he was bringing a surprise for us all. We just look at each other and we just shrug, knowing Nick Fury his surprises could be anything. We manage to remove the stone from vision and find that he was relying more on the stone than they had originally thought. So, we are down one already, but Wanda hesitates to destroy the mind stone but in the end follows through with the plan.
We then begin analyzing the space stone and discover we should be able to destroy it with the help of Wanda and a blast from Uncle Tony's chest cannon and Thor hitting it with lightning. This is of course me ready to shield everyone from the backlash from its destruction. We move to an open field and all three begin their assault on the space stone. When it starts to go critical according to the Wakanda scientist I throw a shield up just in time to contain the blast.
"Well, that's two stones down, but I don't think the good Dr. will allow us to destroy the time stone." I tell everyone and he just nods which has several people talking all at once trying to convince him.
"I can't! I gave an oath not to let anything happen to this stone!"
"Then you better hope you can protect it from Thanos. Because if he gets his hands on it then we are screwed." Uncle said and shook his head at the Dr.
We hear a noise from above and look to see drop pods or drop ships coming down. Two explodes on the shield dome that Wakanda has up all the time. Then three more drops just outside of the shield. Everyone moves to confront the enemy there in the wide-open fields. Steve goes to have a few words with two creepy looking individuals then walks back just in time for the drop ships to open. About that time the backup arrives, and they open fire on the approaching Chitauri. They even manage to blow one drop ship up.
We watch as these things try to avoid the fire storm from the quinjet's and the firepower of the Heli carrier. Then we get word that Tony has several suits onboard as well as a captain marvel. We all look at each other and shrug. Tony begins coordinating his suits with the quinjet's taking out the Chitauri. Then he gets a wicked look in his eyes and summons the hulk buster suit from the satellite. Then the second drop ship explodes then the third does something and these wheeled spikes come out from under the drop ship and is heading for us.
The things plowed under the shield and comes up heading for us. I put up a shield over everyone as it gets close then they break apart as everyone is shooting at them. Hulk manages to knock over three and they are useless after that. It takes all our combined strength to take them down, but we do, though it isn't without cost. Numerous Wakanda warriors lay mangled or dying, its then we are attacked by the two that lead the attack on us is fighting and killing more people. I throw a shield around them and crush them one is smirking and said we couldn't hold them just as I crushed them.
"I guess you showed them hells bells! Is it me or are your shields stronger now?"
"I haven't noticed before now but now that you mention it sure I think they could be."
The third drop ship blows up then we see several nukes heading for the ship in space. Then there is a massive explosion we must wait several minutes to look to see if they did any damage. We look and see it has broken the ship up into several pieces then there is another launch to try and break them up even further. Everyone cheers except us because we don't know if Thanos was on that ship or not. We soon get our answer as he comes thru a portal and everyone begins to attack him.
He is decimating the army, but we aren't fairing much better, until Thor charges a massive lightning strike that Thanos can't dodge. That is when everyone moves in and holds him down but is struggling to pull the gauntlet off. To make matters worse we have another ship coming in and it's a strange bunch. There is a raccoon a girl with antenna on her head a red skinned guy a human and, what looks like a walking tree? The human begins yelling at Thanos and the girl grabs his head and she must have power because Thanos loses focus and everyone almost has the gauntlet off.
Then star lord as he is calling himself begins hitting Thanos almost hitting the others, so I pull him back and punch him. The red skin guy takes that as a sign to try and tackle me I just punch him also and put both in a bubble. Just as they get the gauntlet off, he manages to break free and is trying to get the gauntlet back. I think quickly and make the shield too small for Thanos thus removing his arms and legs at his joints. Thanos screams out in anger and pain I then put the gauntlet in a shield so no one can touch it, just in case. Then I look at Thanos and he is cringing and glaring at who ever is looking at him.
"Not so tough now are you stumpy? Sure, it took the combined effort of everyone here, but we managed to stop you." Uncle said smirking
"You had better kill me then, because if I survive this, I will lay waste to this miserable little planet!" Thanos said glaring at uncle then at me for some reason
"So, what you are saying is that you will never stop?" Steve asked him
"No! you are but worms in the grand scheme of things!" Thanos roared!
I had enough and I slowly began to shrink the bubble around him crushing him slowly. Several people had to look away from the sight of him turning into purple goo. And star lord is yelling it should have been him that killed the nut sack faced asshole! I can't help but to snort as well as several other people.
"Could someone let us out? Before we get squished like he did into a pile of purple goo."
"Who are you people?" Steve asked no one in particular.
"Who wants to know? What I want to know is who are you people?" star lord asked and was being a little cocky about it.
So, uncle being uncle tops his brash attitude and introduces everyone. We can tell star lord isn't really impressed by anyone here, but we aren't impressed by him either. I let them out of their bubble only for them to try to take the gauntlet but couldn't touch it. He then starts ranting about how they need to get paid and the gauntlet would be a very good payday. I don't think they are winning themselves any brownie points. We now have the soul stone, reality stone, and power stone that we will have to deal with or destroy. It will be a long time before we will be able to decide what to do with the stones because of SHIELD will stick their noses in where they don't belong. I can already hear it now. "We should try to harness the power of these stones to move humanity forward." Yeah, not going to happen we will either need to hide them across the universe or try and destroy them like we did the mind stone and the space stone.
We all manage to hide the gauntlet from SHIELD and Fury so several days later after the king of Wakanda thanked them for the assistance and then told them to leave with the promise of not telling anyone of what they thought they saw. Which wasn't much because they were on the other side of the barrier. Fury as per usual glared at me the whole time we were in visual range, Thor and Uncle Tony thought it was funny.
After everyone had left is when the fun got started of removing the stones from the giant gauntlet. By the time we had all three pried loose we had already thought of where to hide them. Between Thor, Heimdall, and I we hid the three stones in several places that are impossible to get close to. We fired them into planets with high volumes of volcanic activity so if somebody does find them it will be many years later.
Once we were done with our mission, we went to see what was left of Asgard. It was just a big asteroid field with a high concentration of gold, there was no sign of Hela or Surtur. We plan to return with the party barge to use as a mining platform and reclaim what we can from the rubble. Once we were back on earth, we got busy rebuilding our Asgard city. We have barriers that rival that of Wakanda, and we built another Bifrost, but we will have to train a new army. It takes us several years to rebuild everything to where it was before we had to run from Asgard. But in the meantime, we discovered I am pregnant with twins! The healers did confirm that the short time I was in contact with the space stone my magic had increased tenfold.
We manage a few years of peace before word got around that Asgard was destroyed then we were busy reaffirming we were watching to keep the peace. Eventually a new oversight director was put into office and he pardoned Steve and his group for their help with the fight in Wakanda. So now the Avengers help with Asgard to keep the peace in other realms when there isn't anything going on.
