Loki

Final Chapter

[Loki meanwhile catches Gale and sucks into him Onyx, Frost Giant, and Fire Giant. He launches them into the sky where they all explode.]

Odin: (high-fiving Loki) Hah!

Loki: Whoo-hoo!

Laufey: (leaving) Thanks a ton, Mischief Maker. But at least, I've got one swell consolation prize -- a friend of yours who's dying to see me.

Loki: Mads!

[Gamora cuts the thread of life and Maddie is dead]

Loki arrives to her.

Loki: Mads. Mads, no.

Rocket: Oh, I'm sorry, kid. There's some things you just can't change.

Loki: (lifting his eyes, with a determined glare) Yes I can.

[Down in the Underworld, Laufey throws a tantrum over the failure on Asgard. Steve and Stephen dodge a blast of fire burning the map table, as the room is now in shreds.]

Laufey: (ranting angrily) We were so close! So close. We tripped the finish line. Why? because our little nut, Mads, has to go all noble.

[The three feel the earth shake, and Fluffy the three-headed dog breaks inside the room, with Loki standing on top of his middle head.]

Loki: (confronting Laufey) Where's Mads?

Laufey: Oh, look who's here. Mischief Maker, you are too much.

Loki grips Laufey.

Loki: Let her go.

Laufey: Get a grip! Come here, come here. Let me show you around. [They walk around the Underworld] Hmph. Well, well. It's a small underworld after all, huh? [They come to the shore of a river. Loki sees Mads in it.]

Loki: Mads! Ahhh!

[His hands which he put into water turned old]

Laufey: No, no, no. Mustn't touch. You see, Mads' running with a new crowd these days. And not a very lively one, at that.

Loki: You like making deals. Take me in Mads' place.

Laufey: Oh, well. The son of my hated rival trapped forever in a river of death.

Loki: Going once!

Laufey: Hmm. Is there a downside to this?

Loki: Going twice!

Laufey: Okay, okay, okay, okay. You get her out - she goes, you stay. [Loki dives] Oh, you know what slipped my mind? You'll be dead before you can get to her. That's not a problem, is it?

[Loki swims, aging rapidly. Gamora goes to cut the thread of life, but it suddenly shines, and the scissors can't cut it.]

Gamora: Oh?

Nebula: What's the matter with these scissors?

Mantis: The thread won't cut.

[At the same time, Loki floats out from the river with Mads' soul and climbs up the cliff, holding Mads' soul in his arms, as he shines brightly.]

Laufey: This is-- this is impossible! You, you, you can't be alive! You'd have to be a, a—

Steve and Stephen: A god?

(At last, Loki has re-achieved his immortality, as Laufey loses his temper, burning in flames as usual.)

Laufey: Loki, stop! You can't do this to me. You can't--

[Loki hits him in the face.]

Laufey: Fine, okay, listen. Hah! Okay, well, I deserved that, Lokes, Lokes, Lokes. Can we talk? Y-Your dad, he's a fun guy, right? So maybe you could put in a word with him and he'd kinda blow this whole thing off, you know? Mads, Mads, talk to him, a little schmooze-- [Loki hits Laufey stronger, and he flies away into the river of death. Souls try to drown him.] Eew! Get away from me! Don't touch me! Get your slimy souls off me! Ooh, ah—

Stephen: He's not gonna be happy when he gets outta there.

Steve: You mean, if he gets outta there.

Stephen: If. If is good.

Laufey: Taxi! I don't feel so good, I feel a little flushed! (He disappears into the lakebed.)

[Outside, Loki brings the soul of Maddie and puts it inside her body]

Maddie: Mischief Maker, what-- why did you—

Loki: Huh. People always do crazy things... when they are in love.

[they go for a kiss, but suddenly a cloud appears under their feet, sent by Odin, and they fly to Asgard]

Rocket: Whoa! Hey, hey, hey! Whoo!

[Fenrir picks Rocket up and brings him along]

[Asgard (restored already). A crowd of gods welcome Loki]

Tyr: Three cheers for the mighty Loki!

Clint: Oh, Yeah! Flowers for everybody! Oh!

Frigga: Loki, we're so proud of you.

Loki: Mother.

Odin: Hah! Fine work, my boy! You've done it! You're a true hero.

Frigga: You were willing to give your life to rescue this young woman.

Odin: For a true hero isn't measured by the size of his strength, but by the strength of his heart. Now, at last, my son, you can come home.

[Gates open, gods cheer for Loki. Maddie is left behind.]

Maddie: Congratulations, Mischief Maker. You'll make one heck of a god.

[Loki turns around and sees her leaving]

Loki: Father, this is the moment I've always dreamed of. But... (He comes to Maddie and takes her hand) A life without Mads, even an immortal life, would be...empty. I--I wish to stay on Earth with her. I finally know where I belong.

[Odin nods, they finally kiss and Loki stops shining]

Clint: Hit it, ladies!

Muses sing: Oh, gonna shout it from the mountaintops, a star is born! It's the time for pulling out the stops, a star is born! Honey, hit us with a hallelu that kid came shining through. Girl, sing the song, come blow your horn, a star is born! He's a hero who can please the crowd, a star is born! Come on, everybody shout out loud, a star is born! Just remember in the darkest hour, within your hear's the power for makin' you a hero too.

[Here the Constellation of Loki appears]

Muses: So don't lose hope when you're forlorn.

[Rocket sees the Strong Man pointing at it and saying: "That's Phil's boy!"]

Muses: Just keep your eyes upon the skies every night, a star is right in sight, a star is burning bright, a star is born, a star is born.

[Closing Titles start, song continues]

Muses: Like a beacon in the cold dark night, a star is born! Told ya everything would turn out right, a star is born! Just when everything was all at sea, the boy made history, the bottom line, bottom line! He sure can shine, he can shine! His rising sign is Aquarius. He knew how to, he had a clue telling you, a star is born! Here's a hero who can please the crowd, a star is born! Come on, everybody shout out loud, a star is born! Just remember in your darkest hour within your heart's the power for making you a hero too (A hero too) So don't lose hope when you're forlorn (No, no!) Just keep your eyes upon the skies every night, a star is right in sight, a star is burning bright, a star is born!

Laufey: (offscreen, complaining) What do ya say? It's happy ending time. Everybody's got a little taste of somethin' but me. I got nothin'. I-I'm here with nothin'. Anybody listenin'? It's like I'm... What am I, an echo or something? Hello? Hello? Am I talking to, what? Hyperspace? Hello, it's me. Nobody listens.
