Chapter 44: Their Downfalls

The other Lokis were talking about what got them there in the first place.

"So, after I vanquished Captain America and Iron Man, I claimed my prize, all six Infinity Stones," Boastful Loki bragged.

The alligator growled at that.

"That's alligator for growling and saying 'liar' at the same time," Classic Loki remarked.

"At least my nexus event wasn't eating the wrong neighbor's cat," Boastful Loki snapped.

(A/N That made me laugh so hard. I don't know why.)

The alligator attacked, but Boastful Loki was ready. The other Lokis soon parted them.

"Tell them your story, Loki," Kid Loki said to Classic Loki.

"Me? Nobody wants to hear about that," Classic Loki stated.

"I would, actually. Um...It's just I've been wondering, because I'm...Well, we're supposed to die, right? Thanos kills us after Ragnarok," Loki said.

"Thanos? In my timeline, everything proceeded correctly, my entire life, until Thanos attacked our ship," Classic Loki stated.

"So, you didn't try to stab him?" Loki asked.

Classic Loki chuckled and said, "Certainly not. Take no offense, my friends, but blades are worthless in the face of a Loki sorcery. They stunt our magical potential."

"But they look awesome," Boastful Loki remarked.

"Oh, yes. Especially when they clatter to the ground just before your neck is snapped. I cast a projection of myself so real, even the Mad Titan believed it. Then hid as inanimate debris. After I faked my death, I simply drifted in space. Away from Thor, away from everything. Thought about the universe and my place in it, and it occurred to me that everywhere I went, only pain followed. So I removed myself from the equation, landed on a remote planet and stayed there in isolation, in solitude for a long, long time," Classic Loki explained.

"How did the TVA find you?" Loki asked.

"I got lonely," Classic Loki chuckled then continued, "To tell you the truth, I missed my brother, and I wondered if he missed me, if anybody else did. But as soon as I took my first steps to getting off the planet, the TVA arrived. Because we, my friends, have but one part to play, the God of Outcasts. Nothing more. The God of Outcasts."

Loki then realized he had heard enough.

"I'm going," he stated.

"Going where?" Boastful Loki asked.

"Out of this place, out of the Void, back to the TVA. We're as good at escaping as we are at surviving. That gives me a decent chance," Loki answered.

"You won't do either, you'll be murdered," Classic Loki pointed out.

"Well, so be it. That was my destiny to begin with," Loki said.

"You're different. Why?" Kid Loki asked.

"No, I'm not, you see? I'm the same, really. I'm the same as all of you. Have any of you met a woman Variant of us and another woman who is actually a fan of the mischief we create?" Loki told them.

"Sounds terrifying and intriguing," Classic Loki answered.

"Oh, she is and the other is intriguing. But that's kind of what's great about them. They're different. They're not trying to take over the TVA, they're trying to take it down. And they need me. Jamie needs me. Now, you said Alioth is what keeps us here. You said it's a living thing. You said it's a shark. Well, if it lives, it dies. So I'm gonna kill the shark. I'm gonna kill Alioth, and I could use all the help I can get," Loki explained confidently.

They all soon started laughing, which annoyed Loki, so he walked to the ladder in defeat.

"Monsters," Loki muttered.

He then climbed the ladder and opened the lid to be greeted by a small army, who was lead by another Loki that actually looked like him, but dressed as a president.

"Ah. Hello, which one of us are you?" President Loki asked.

"This is a nightmare," Loki commented.

A/N Who else would make Loki president? Lol! By the way, in the script, that's what that version of Loki is called. Just to let you know.
