Thor and I watched as two guards dragged another dead body from the fighting ring, making me even more nervous. Korg grimaced, "There's still so much hair and blood all over these! Guys, can you clean up the weapons once you finish your fight?"

I laughed, placing a hand on Korg's arm, accidentally knocking a few rocks off. "You know they're probably all dead and can't clean them, right?"

Korg looked over the weapon again, mumbling, "Oh yeah." I picked up a sword. Even though I probably wouldn't need it, the Grandmaster didn't know about my powers. And I wouldn't give him a chance at keeping me a contender any longer. 

"Thor." 

He turned to Korg, seeing him holding up a strange-looking weapon. "Wanna use a big wooden fork?"

"No," Thor shook his head, looking back down at the dagger he had in his hand. 

"yeah, not really useful unless you're fighting off three vampires that were huddled together." I smiled at Korg, taking the giant fork from him.  

"You know I really wish I had my hammer."

"Oh, here we go," I rolled my eyes, listening to Thor talk about Mljonir. 

"hammer?"

"Please don't get him started-"

"Quite unique actually." I groaned, having heard this my whole life. "It was made from this special metal from the heart of a dying star."

I goraned, hitting my head against the weapon rack. "And when I spun it really, really fast, it gave me the ability to fly."

"You rode a hammer?" I laughed at Korg, making Thor shoot a glare my way. 

"No, I- I didn't ride the hammer.."

"The hammer rode you on your back?"

"No. I used to spin it really fast and it would pull me off-"

"Oh, my god a hammer pulled you off?"

I bent over in laughter, holding onto Thor's arm for support. He shook me off, making me walk away and out of earshot. 

A woman caught my eye, making me walk over to the red barrier that separated the bar and gladiators. "Hey!" I shouted, catching her attention. She looked so...familiar. 

"Thor!" I shouted, still watching the woman. 

"Thor! Come up-"

"She's Asgardian." I jumped, hearing him behind me. "Don't do that!" I smacked his arm. 

"Hey!" Thor shouted, catching the brunette's attention. 

"Hey." She held up the device that would electrocute us. I held my hand up, green energy flowing through my fingers. "Try it and I'll have you flown halfway across the planet before you even get a chance to attempt at frying my nerves."

"Alright! Alright!" Thor shouted, lowering my hand. "Do not zap us with that thing, we just wanna talk."

She sat it down. 

"Asgard is in danger." She blew the fire from her bottle, looking like she had no interest on what Thor was talking about. 

Then I saw it. Her tattoo. "My god, you're a Valkyrie." Thor pointed, his lips curving up in a smile. 

I laughed, "You know Thor wanted to be a Valkyrie when he was younger. Then he found out they were all women but he still grew out his hair-"

"Ouch!" I shouted, feeling him punch my arm as if telling me to shut up. I shrugged, "Just saying."

"There's nothing wrong with woman. Of course, I love women." Thor laughed, "Maybe a little too much."

I scoffed, "That's an understament." He glared at me, turning his head to watch Valkyrie pick up another case of alcohol. 

"Not in a creepy way, of course. Just more of a respectful appreciation-"

"What Thor is trying to say!" I interrupted, "Is that we need your help."

She picked up the case, waving, "Bye." 

"Lord of Thunder! Tiny Godess!! Your up!"

We heard from behind us, making Thor turn back to Valkyrie. "What did they just call me?!" I shouted, ignoring Thor's pleas to the Asgardian woman. 

"Fine then you must be a traitor or a coward because the Valkyrie are sworn to protect the throne!"

She stopped in her tracks. Both of us waiting to see what she would do. Suddenly she turned back, walking up to the barrier. "Listen closely prince and princess-"

"Oh! I'm not a princess." I shook my head, "I'm-"

"This is Sakaar, not Asgard. And I'm a scrapper, not a Valkyrie." Suddenly someone grabbed my arm, making me and Thor turn around. I threw a punch, whipping my arm back as dark green energy flowed through my palm. 

I heard a beep, mine and Thor's body falling to the ground as I thrashed in pain. "Bring them in for prossesing!!"  

"And no one escapes this place!" I looked back with all I had, seeing her bending down slightly, "So your all gonna die anyway."

I groaned, flipping my hand a couple times to see if I had enough strength to send Loki a message. But as soon as my power came, it diminished. And all I saw was black.
