Clouds began to form around as Thor grew visibly angry. Lightning formed in his clenched hands. I glanced over at Loki, who felt incredibly distraught. He hesitated as he called out to Thor. "Brother."

Thor turned towards us with a livid expression. "This was your doing."

At that moment a portal opened right before us. We then made our way towards the portal as Thor and Loki changes their Asgardian clothing, taking out their weapons as well. I turned to look at R3, who had my belt along with my weapons in his compartments. I asked him to hold on to them...just in case we faced danger while on our stroll. And I'm glad I took that precaution.

"R3, my belt and weapons please." I said.

At my words, R3 opened his compartments, allowing me to take the belt and my weapons, quickly fastening it around my belt. R3 then opened another compartment, revealing Frigga's lightsaber. I gave Frigga a stern look as she took the lightsaber with a sheepish look.

"You and I both know I'll need my lightsaber." Frigga pointed out.

"Yes you will need it. But remember what I said, you'll use it for defense and if there is no other way." I reminded her.

Loki then stood right next to me, pushing our daughter behind us to protect her. At that moment the portal revealed a woman with blue eyes, raven black hair, and black clothing. No doubt this was Hela. And it wasn't long until she noticed us.

"So he's gone. That's a shame." Hela informed us, sounding cynical. "I would've liked to have seen that."

"You must be Hela. I'm Thor, son of Odin." Thor introduced himself.

"Really? You don't look like him." Hela retorted.

"Perhaps we can come to an arrangement." Loki suggested.

"You sound like him." Hela rebuked. "Kneel."

Loki was taken back by her words. "Beg your pardon?"

"Kneel, before your queen." Hela ordered as a sinister grin appeared on her face.

"Yeah well, that's not gonna happen." I shot back.

"I agree with Storm. I don't intend on letting that happen." Thor added.

Thor then threw his hammer at her, however Hela stopped it with ease. We all looked at her, dumbfounded. Was that even possible?

"It's not possible." Thor said, still baffled.

"Darling, you have no idea what's possible." Hela rebuked.

Hela then destroyed Thor's hammer in a matter of seconds right before us. She then made our way towards us, prepared to fight us. I placed a hand on my lightsaber prepared to attack if necessary, however Loki looked up at the sky before yelling. "Bring us back!"

"No!" Thor shouted.

At that moment the bifrost opened, taking Loki, Frigga, Thor, R3, and me. I believed we were safe, until I heard Thor yell out. "Loki! Storm!"

We looked down to see Hela was also in the bifrost. She hastily made her way up towards us. Loki then threw a dagger, which Hela deflected. The dagger then hit Loki, casting him out of the bifrost. My eyes widened in horror. "No!"

Hela then moved up towards Frigga and me. I narrowed my eyes at her as she sent a punch my way. I quickly dodged it, and in retaliation I raised my arm, hitting her side. Hela was quick to respond as she tried to hit my jaw. I blocked her arm, pushing it off to the side. She grew frustrated, but that look vanished from her face when she saw Frigga and R3. I grew defensive right away. Hela noticed this and went straight for Frigga, who was above me and near Thor.
