Past Friends

Part 105: Cat Fight!!!

"This is going to be good," Fandral laughed, while the maids looked terrified, they would no doubt get in trouble if you came to harm. Your ladies-in-waiting looked to the other members of the Warriors Three but they also just watched in amusement, not knowing who they were rooting for more. One of the maids decided to run off and alert the princes while unintentionally spreading the news that some red-haired beauty was about to fight Lady Sif. As a result, you soon had quite the crowd of maids and other servants, even several guards showed up to watch the battle commence.

You could easily block strike after strike but seeing as you were in a fancy gown you had a harder time maneuvering around the battlefield. Lady Sif managed to knock you back and you slid a few meters away from her, getting more pissed off at the idea that she might ruin your dress. You weren't too particular about getting a little dirty from time to time, after all, you definitely got filthy training in the Dragon Realm but this was the special dress Loki and Thor got you. You decided a change of outfit was required, they all watched you light up for a minute before yanking off your cloak to reveal the armour you summoned.

It was truly a beautiful thing to behold, the base layer was a full-suit of skin-tight dark red dragon scales, it shone like metal but it was not rigid like plate armour, feeling much more like a second layer of skin as you were able to move without any resistance. The outer layer of your armour included a breastplate, bracers, hip plates, belt with a Tasset-like skirt covering, high over the knee boots, pauldrons, upper arm plates and thigh guards. Although the entire armour was mostly the same varying shade of red, there were gold and silver accents tying the whole thing together. But on your fitted breastplate, you bore the mark of your Master and friend Shou-Lao, the dragon symbol shining brightly upon your chest.

You tossed your cloak to your maid asking her to hold it for you, before turning back to give Lady Sif your full attention. You give her a smirk as your dominant hand starts to glow and you called for Tizona, in an instant your sword appeared in your hand. "Are you certain you wish to do this Lady Sif? You could simply just apologize and we could call it a day," you shout to her while spinning your sword around in your hand like a baton. Lady Sif doesn't say anything, merely letting out another groan in frustration, as she raised her sword, lunging forward at you.

At that moment your maid arrived at the throne room where Odin, Frigga, Loki, and Thor were privately discussing you. They soon noticed the maid who just entered and both Thor and Loki recognized her as one of the servants they left with you, quickly asking her if something happened. "Apologies for the interruptions your highnesses," the maid says nervously as she bows to the royal family before Loki and Thor both ask her again if something happened to you. The maid went on to explain that you were about to fight Lady Sif, although by now you probably already were. "Why is she fighting Lady Sif?" Frigga asked, walking over to join the conversation, soon followed by Odin. The maid continued, saying that Lady Sif might have had a few choice words regarding Prince Loki, which upset you and the situation quickly escalated, resulting in Lady Sif pulling out her sword.

Loki and Thor started freaking out a little bit, they left you alone for less than an hour and you've already managed to pick a fight with one of the best warriors in Asgard. Frigga let out a little laugh before commenting on how Loki definitely made the right choice, seeing as how you were so fiercely protective, loyal, and devoted to him, a real firecracker. Odin surprisingly agreed, not that he like the fact that you "broke in" to the palace but it was clear how much you cared for him and Loki being an adult now had the right to choose who he wanted to marry. Loki was surprised by Odin's words, he knew his mother would like you, no problem but he didn't think he would get his father's blessing as well, he wondered what Odin was planning. Thor and Loki ran off to the Arena to try and stop the fight, they knew you could fight but even with your new powers, they weren't sure how you would stand up to Sif.

You were on the defensive, blocking every attack with ease, as Lady Sif got more and more frustrated with your lack of interest. You were getting really bored, you were hoping she would be more of a challenge but apparently not. You stepped it up, moving faster, going into attack mode, putting Sif on the defensive as she struggled to keep up. You eventually knocked her down and sent her sword across the Arena and you turned to walk away, thinking the fight was over. You were wrong as you heard her approach, you turned around just in time as Lady Sif punched you in the abdomen with her super-strength and sent you flying. You didn't know she was that strong, but it made you excited, as you flipped in the air and your feet landed up against the side of a pillar. You quickly pushed off the pillar with your feet, launching yourself at Sif as you called to your sword, you dropped it when you were hit. Lady Sif also managed to retrieve her weapon, just in time to block your strike, but the force you hit her with did push her back and made her knees nearly buckle from the sheer power you were using.

You gave her a wicked grin as your eyes started to glow and you quickly knocked her back again, sending her flying this time. You decided to show off, using one of the tricks you learned while training in the Dragon Realm, transforming Tizona into an entirely different weapon. Your Asgardian Blade was now a long whip made of fire and you grabbed Sif with it while she was still in the air, yanking her hard, back towards you. You jumped, performing a high spinning back kick, sending her flying directly into a pillar, knocking her unconscious.

You're catching your breath and putting your sword away on your belt as Lady Sif gets up, more pissed than injured from the loss. She made it back onto her feet and you called out to her, "no one disrespects Loki in front of me, you hear me, woman?". She gives you a dirty look, as a couple of servants appear to take her off the field to treat her wounds and you look up and around realizing that there were a lot of people there, watching the fight. It occurs to you that you might have just fucked up, severely so, as you see Thor and Loki make their way towards you.

Your face turns all red, matching your armour and you look extremely embarrassed as the two Asgardian princes walked up to you. You greet them as if nothing happened like you didn't just absolutely destroy one of Asgard's greatest warriors. "Hi Loki, hi Thor, how was your meeting with Odin, did everything go well?" you ask, followed by an awkward laugh. They ask you what you were doing, Loki had teleported here with Thor and pretty much caught the entire fight, they were both impressed and terrified.

"Lady Sif was saying really mean things about you and she wouldn't apologize, then she said more mean things and then I said mean things to her, then she tried to attack me with her sword and then I beat her up," you admit, pouting a little, hoping Loki and Thor weren't mad at you. Loki said you didn't need to fight Lady Sif for him, but you respond with, "what kind of girlfriend would I be if I didn't defend your honour?". Loki told you "you're being ridiculous darling, her words mean nothing," you smile at him, crossing your arms with a raised eyebrow saying "oh really,". You then told Loki she called you his little whore, "okay, she's dying", he didn't even hesitate, and you burst out laughing. "I love you so much," you chuckled, finding it hard to actually stop laughing, he was being ridiculously adorable.

You grabbed Loki's arm before he could go off and possibly kill Lady Sif, while you found yourself still unable to stop laughing. You eventually calm down and ask Loki if he was ready to go back to Midgard, back to the Avengers and the Compound. "That would probably be for the best," Loki replies, he was worried about what Odin might be planning, it would be for the best to get you far away from him. You start to head out but Loki stops you, "as much as I like you in this armour..." he began, but you caught on right away, doing a little spin as you lit up again, transforming back into your Asgardian gown. You then grabbed your cloak back from the maid, thanking her for holding on to it for you and the tour before you took Loki's arm and headed off back to Earth.
