Goddess | Natasha Romanoff

Chapter 5: Lord of Thuder

Aloisia and Korg make their way over to their place, forced below the main seats of the stadium but they have a vowel of the arena. Al sees the hundreds of thousands of spectators packed into the stadium seats. Dozens of starships are parked above the arena. Loki lounges in the vip suite, taking wagers on the fight card. Grandmaster walks out into the center of the arena, robots appear to scan him and England a projection of him so his head reaches the top seats of the arena. This projection of Grandmaster addresses the audience.

"Wow! Look at all of you. What a show, what a night! Who's having fun? Please, I'm your host. Big round of applause for all of our undercard competitors... who died so gruesomely. Good sports. What a show! What a night! This is what you've come for and so have I. And now, without further ado... it's main event time!" The audience cheer loudly "Making his first appearance, though he looks quite promising, got a couple of tricks up his sleeve. I'll say no more, see what you think. Ladies and gentlemen....I give to you...Lord of Thunder!"

Thor enters the arena, he looks like a gladiator, Shaved head, trimmed beard, minimalist armor, covered in weapons. A red zigzag is painted across one of his eyes and down his neck, the two lines covering the side of his face. He is equipped with two swords on his back, giant mace in one hand, spiked shield in the other. Aloisia gasps at his hair cut, knowing he would not have been very happy to lose his golden locks. But she also appreciates how much it suits him.

"Watch out for his fingers. They make sparks" grandmaster adds, "Okay, this is it. Let's get ready to welcome this guy. Here he comes. He is a creature. What can we say about him? Well, he's unique. There's none like him. I feel a special connection with him" green smoke bombs explode around the arena as Thor pulls out a gladiator variation of his classic winged helm, placing it on his head with one of his hands. Suddenly the floor beneath Thor's feet lowers as a massive door opposite him presents itself. Aloisia can feel the exited atmosphere as the arena prepares to face their champion "he's undefeated, he's the reigning, he's the defending. Ladies and gentlemen. I give you... your incredible...." The door is ripped opens and Al sees a familiar large green muscular giant.

The creature roars "hulk! Hulk!" He screams. He wears an armored shoulder guard and a Spartan helmet and carries a warhammer in one hand and a battleaxe in the other. Hulk cheers as he engages the crowd further energizing an already frenzied crowd.

The sigh of hulk allows a massive grin to grow on Thors face as he cheers "yes!"

Meanwhile, with he grandmaster in the VIP box, Loki goes ghost white. Seeing the hulk has shocked and scared him. The creature that battered him in New York is here in all his green glory and looking angrier than ever.

"I have to get off this planet" Loki tries to exit, but the Grandmaster stops him.

"Hey, hey, hey! Where are you going?" Grandmaster questions. Grandmaster plops Loki down in the front row, right against the glass. Loki casually tries to hide his face in his hand.

Thor addresses the grandmaster above him "Hey! We know each other. He's friend from work" the audience quietens slightly but then Thor moves to address hulk, "Where have you been? Everybody thought you were dead. So much has happened since I last saw you. I lost my hammer. Like, yesterday, so that's still pretty fresh" he pauses slightly before adding. "Loki Loki's alive. Can you believe it? He's up there" Thor waves to Loki, "Loki! Look who it is!" Loki remains looking almost petrified. "Oh and Aloisia is here too, you remember her right? with the fire, of course you do. Oh and she and Natasha got married. How amazing is that!" Thor grins waving to where he can see Aloisia through the thin piece of glass "Banner, I never thought I would say this, but I'm happy to see you" hulk only stares at Thor as the crowd continuities cheering hulks name.
