The Tale Of Loki by DickMcJones

Chapter 9

Heimdall POV:

As I do my duty of watching the nine realms as I always do, I see the scene I have become familiar with on Midgard. A human with the ability to change into different species with nothing, but a piece of tech on his arm. The man is by all accounts average except for his fascinating ability to shapeshift that would even eclipse Loki's skills in the art.

I suppress a frown at the thought of the prince. Ever since he figured out how to hide from my gazes, I could feel the smugness radiated from him. I am honestly surprised the prince hasn't gotten up and decided to see the human for himself to study or maybe rob the thing he uses to transform.

My first attempts at prodding him about a human beating him in an area he is widely skilled in were only met with a scoff.

"You shouldn't overestimate someone's ability, Heimdall and claiming a mortal is better than me in an art that I have been using for decades. Just because I can beat your voyeur eyes doesn't mean someone can beat me in something I specialize in. Not gonna lie it's quite unbecoming of an Asgardian peeper such as yourself."

I wanted to bash his head in at the comment but restrained myself. The prince has a reputation for getting on the people's nerves and our relationship has never been the best. I dislike him for being able to avoid my sights and him being smug about it; he dislikes me for using my sight on him.

I dismiss my thoughts on my least favourite prince and think of the newest problem on Midgard. The man known as Vilgax is busy expanding the Jarldom he recently acquired somewhere in Norway.

So far the Allfather has decided to not intervene as it is not an otherworlder, that is causing havoc on Midgard. My king has stated he wanted the device but had doubts about whether it could be removed and I know to trust my king's judgement.

Loki Pov:

I stood on a mountain as I stared at Vilgax, the current holder of the Omnitrix in the distance. In the looks department he is average, with brown hair and black eyes, 6 feet and muscular, but not Thor's level.

Above-average intelligence, but not genius level. His best qualities in my opinion are that he is ambitious and hardworking, two qualities that work great together.

I may have used a hypnosis spell to convince him that his name is Vilgax as well as everyone who knows him. I wanted to name him Ben Tennyson since I thought it would be funny, but it didn't fit in with the time period and Vilgax isn't too bad. I find it humorous that in the show that Vilgax coveted the Omnitrix, but here it gets handed to him on a silver platter.

Vilgax has come far in a few months from a commoner to a jarl of an expanding territory. I was currently invisible watching him fighting a war against a nearby jarldom. I am surprised the borderings jarls haven't started an alliance yet because it looks like Vilgax ambition won't be sated by a few conquests.

One of the restrictions I have put on the Omnitrix for him was that it can only be used for a limited time of 20 minutes and the cooldown is 5 minutes afterwards, so he wouldn't be too overpowered.

My initial plan was to only cause a bit of chaos which would give me entertainment, but I figured I could send him into space with the goals of procuring the genetic material to other alien races and I wouldn't even have to lift a finger. Thor has other duties and different morals so I can't depend on him all the time.
