Chapter 34: The Final Hour

"Did you miss me?" Loki asked his subjects as they ran onto the ship.

"Everyone, on that ship now." Heimdel was helping them towards the ship. "Welcome home. I saw you coming."

"Of course you did." Loki replied, smiling as he saw Tasha run by them in a flash of purple light. 

"It seems the princess' powers are stronger than ever."

"Yes, it seems she is quite thrilled at the moment." Loki replied, stabbing one of the skeletons.

"C'mon boys! Quit standing around!" Tasha called to Loki and Heimdel with a laugh as she ran towards the ever growing group of skeletons coming towards them.

Tasha's magic killed many of the soldiers but unfortunately this caused the rest of them to focus solely on here. "Shit."

Out of nowhere lightning shot from the sky,  hitting the castle with a crazy light. This caused the skeletons to focus on that, giving Tasha time to fight them from behind.

In an instant Thor had jumped to the bridge, his eyes sparkling with lightning.


Tasha laughed in absolute joy as she fought alongside Loki as their brother came closer, fighting every enemy in his path.

"You're late." Thor said to Loki.

"You're missing an eye."

It was then Val came up to them with her sword, Hulk just behind her. "This isn't over."

The group all walked towards Hela who had begun advancing towards them with her swords drawn.

"I think we should disband the Revengers."

"Hit her with a lightning blast."

"I just hit her with the biggest lightning
blast in the history of lightning. It did nothing." Thor said with a shake of his head.

"Look, guys. We just need to hold her off
until everyone's on board." Tasha said as she used her magic to power up her shield.

"It won't end there. The longer Hela's on Asgard, the more powerful she grows. She'll hunt us down." Val spoke.

"We need to stop her here and now." Loki agreed.

"So what do we do?" Val asked.

"I'm not doing "Get Help."" Loki said to Thor."

"Asgard's not a place, it's a people..." Thor said quietly before turning to his brother. "Loki,
this was never about stopping Ragnarok. This was about causing Ragnarok. Surtur's crown, the vault. It's the only way."

"Holy shit." Tasha breathed.

"Bold move, brother." Loki smiled. "Even for me."

Before he could go, Tasha grabbed onto Loki's arm. "You're coming back to me."

Loki smiled, pressing his hand to her cheek. "Do not fret. I'll meet you on the ship, my love."

Tasha watched as Loki disappeared, sighing deeply. She then noticed Thor and Val were looking at her. "What?"

"You two are sickly sweet." Val snorted.

Tasha simply rolled her eyes. "Shall we?"

"After you."

The four warriors stepped towards Hela slowly, who continued to advance towards them.

"Hela!" Thor called out as they neared her. "Hela, enough! You want Asgard, it's yours."

"Whatever game you're playing, it won't work. You can't defeat me."

"No, I know." Thor smiled slightly. "But he can."

An explosion erupted from the centre of Asgard as Surtur rose from the fire and ashes that once stood of the palace.

"No." Hela shook her head in disbelief.

"Tremble before me, Asgard! I am your reckoning!" Surtur yelled as he began to strike all of Asgard wth his fire and sword.

"He sure is excited." Tasha mused with a sigh.

"Sister, get on the ship and make sure our people are safe. We'll be right behind you." Thor used his lightning to break the bridge, forcing Hela to focus her attacks on Surtur.

"The people are safe. That's all that matters. We're fulfilling the prophecy."

"I hate this prophecy."

"So do I, but we have no choice. Surtur destroys Asgard, he destroys Hela,
so that our people may live."

"Good luck, bitch." Tasha gave Hela the middle finger as she rushed onto the ship.

"I am Asgard's doom!"

As Thor, Val and Hulk emerged onto the deck of the ship, they noticed Tasha had her arms crossed and was shaking her head at Surtur. "Is that idiot still rambling?"

"The damage is not too bad.As long as the foundations are still strong, we can rebuild this place. It will become a haven for all peoples and aliens of the universe."

As soon as Korg spoke those words, Asgard was engulfed entirely in flames before exploding into thousands of millions of billions of pieces before turning into nothing.

"Now those foundations are gone. Sorry."

"What have I done?" Thor frowned, shaking his head.

"You saved us from extinction." Heimdel replied. "Asgard is not a place...It's a people."
