[Alex Walker POV - Hel Realm ]
Hel wasn't that bad all things considered.
I mean, sure, it was plagued with thousands of cadavers moving around, and moaning ghosts and stuff, but beyond that, it kind of felt like I was in a really good haunted house.
For the moment though, I was glad I was able to use Clay as a medium of sorts to see TV and talk with the girls, who I was currently staying with.
I mean, as much as it pained me to admit, none of my golems were near Hela's level, and trying to fight her using Clay would be an utter waste of time, so, I decided to stay back for the moment being, watching movies with the girls.
Passing the time, waiting for the seal to come to its natural end.
"Daddy," Emily said, tugging Clay's arm a bit.
"Yes?" I asked, turning around. It was weird talking through Clay, it felt like Discord but with extra steps.
"Are you really in hell?" Emily asked.
"Kind of?" I shrugged, making Clay shrug.
"What do you mean by kind of?" Nat asked, grabbing a bag of Doritos from the minibar.
"Well, Hel is one of the many realms of death, this one, however, is directly connected to the Norse gods, so in a way, you could say I'm in Norse Hell," I answered, scratching my head, both mine and Clay's.
"Oh," Emily mouthed.
"For two hours?" Nat asked.
"Yes," I nodded, "A very bad lady, sealed me because she knew she couldn't defeat me,"
"In hell for two hours, that's a book title if I ever seen one," Nat chuckled.
"How does Hel, look?" Emily asked.
"Well," I mused, "Kind of like a cave, a very damp one, with ghosts and zombies walking around, muttering things that only have a meaning for them, so… like Walmart,"
"Ha!" Nat snorted, "Like Walmart, good one pops,"
"I aim to please," I chuckled.
"Are you scared?" Emily asked.
I shook my head, patting her head, "No baby, daddy is the strongest here, nothing here can hurt, only annoy me,"
"I'm glad," Emily smiled, hugging clay as if it were me.
"Relax short stuff," Nat chuckled, "Dear old dad has battled Gods and such, zombies and ghosts are a downgrade from that,"
She had a point.
"I know, but I worry okay?!" Emily huffed.
"Well, don't worry baby, and let's watch a movie," I smiled, patting her head once again.
"It's my turn to pick the movie," Nat declared, jumping to the VHS library.
"It's not!" Emily gasped, "You picked the last movie!"
"Nope, that was dad," Nat smirked.
I nodded, "It was me,"
"Then you picked the one before that one!" Emily shot back, narrowing her eyes at Nat.
"Em, we watched Balto, does that really sound like a movie I would put?" Nat asked, raising an eyebrow.
"I… no," Emily sighed, accepting her defeat.
"Which means, it's my turn, time to watch a scary movie!" Nat declared with a happy smug smile, rummaging through the VHS tapes.

[Odin Borson POV]
My day had come.
Or so I thought.
For as I waited for my end, my daughter to come and claim my life.
Yao did the unthinkable, she had tattletale me to Frigga.
Telling her I was waiting to be killed by Hela, the daughter she didn't know I had.
Understandably Frigga exploded in fury, slapping me so hard one of my teeth flew off my mouth like a projectile, before forcing me to teleport with them to a safe location.
I didn't want to be saved.
I deserved this.
It was time to reap what I had sowed.
And yet.
Both Yao and Frigga were adamant about my survival.
With Frigga telling me I had no right to die, that the moment we married, my life was her own, and her life was my own, and I had no right to kill a part of her without her consent.
As for Yao, she didn't share that sentiment, she simply said I had no right to take the easy way out.
While their reasons didn't match, their goals did.
Keeping me alive.
"She will stop at nothing," I spoke, looking at Yao before turning my gaze to Frigga.
"Two thousand years of marriage, and you never thought of telling me?" Frigga muttered, giving me a pained look.
"It was my burden to bear," I replied.
"You bastard!" Frigga sneered, slapping me once again, "It wasn't yours alone! My babies, my children were also in this burden of yours, she wants to kill them too! And you never thought of telling me!? That my sons were in danger!"
I looked away, I couldn't bear to admit she was right.
"I told you," Yao spoke, her eyes on me, "I told you all of your lies would catch up to you, old friend, but you never listened," she sighed, shaking her head in disapproval.
I said nothing.
"Once this is done, you and I will have a talk, Odin," Frigga said, "I love you, more than life itself, but I also love my babies, and more than I love you, so be prepared for our talk,"
I said nothing once again, deciding to simply nod.
—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Hela Odinsdottir POV]
I had underestimated Alex's reach.
He had warned everyone of my arrival.
Therefore, stopping me from killing Odin.
I guess I would simply have to change targets, Thor first, Odin second.
Sighing, I opened a portal to Asgard, basking in its shining glory as I walked through said portal with a satisfied smile, my world, my kingdom, there for the taking.
"Hela Odinsdottir," Someone spoke, daring to interrupt my moment.
"That's me," I turned around to see a man with a sword, looking at me, "And you are?"
"Heimdall," Heimdall replied, "You are to surrender, or to take on the All-Father's challenge,"
I blinked, the All-Father, he was talking about Thor, wasn't he?
"My brother, I assume," I chuckled, "Well, seeing as I come to take the crown from his lifeless head, surrendering doesn't quite appeal to me," I grinned, putting on my helmet while summoning two blades from it, before starting to walk towards him.
"Then the challenge it is," Heimdall however didn't seem fazed by my display.
I chuckled, "Challenge? Child please, I won't play by anyone's rules, after all, why would I? This world is mine to do as I pleased, Thor is simply warming up my crown for me, like a good little brother," I didn't come here for no challenge, I came here to claim what was mine by birthright, or if that didn't work, by conquest right.
"The All-Father proposes a battle, the winner takes it all, including the power you seek within him," Heimdall replied, and I stopped in my tracks, smiling.
So Thor was aware we both had a half of the Odin force, halves that needed to be whole again.
"Do you accept the challenge?" Heimdall asked.
I laughed, "Fine, why not? If anything will make my transition to power less… bumpy, with less… bodies to clean from the floor,"
Heimdall frowned, so the man had other facial expressions beyond total lack of them, good to know.
"Then follow me," Heimdall nodded.

[Thor Odinson POV]
Alex had shared a lot with me about Hela, my sister.
A talk I needed to have with my father.
Anywho.
According to Alex, our power was evenly matched, but she outclassed me in battle experience.
My main priority in all of this was keeping my people safe.
So, I had issued a challenge, one I knew she wouldn't resist taking, for if she was anything like me because of our alleged blood relation, there was no other option in her mind but to accept.
Besides, I wanted to avoid unnecessary bloodshed.
After all, in all of Asgard, only I could face her.
Sending Asgard's army to fight her, as Father had done thousands of years ago, would only result in the waste of lives, a pointless endeavor.
"Brother, keeping the seat warm for me?" Hela greeted me as she walked into the throne room, with Heimdall closing the door behind her, as for Hela she was sporting a seemingly happy smile, but even I could feel the wrath within me, like a fire ready to consume everything in her wake.
"I understand your anger," I spoke, standing up from the Throne before walking towards, "It's heavily justified, but even then, I can't let you rule, you only seek war for the sake of it, and I won't stand by it, you don't care for Asgard or it's people, you only care for the thrill of conquest," a few years ago, she and I would've had a few things in common, amongst them, our love for war. But, unlike her, I had the good fortune of meeting my brother, he changed my perspective on things.
"You can't allow me?!" Hela spat, narrowing her eyes at me in rage, "You don't have to allow me nothing, boy, I am the rightful ruler of Asgard! A born true warrior, I built this kingdom from the ground. It's people, everything you see belongs to me!"
I sighed, calling Mjolnir to me by extending my right hand to the side, "You are not fit to rule, and it seems father was also not fit for the role." I sighed once again, grabbing Mjolnir as it landed in my hand.
"And you are fit for the role?" Hela scoffed.
"No," I shook my head with a laugh, "I'm much too immature, but, I'm not alone, like you or father are, I have people to help me through it, and together we might just rule this kingdom right,"
"You would let others tell you how to rule what is yours?" Hela spat, "You truly are pathetic,"
"Perhaps," I chuckled, "Now, are you ready to battle me, Hela?"
Hela grinned, taking a step forward, "Always,"
"Let's then, but not here, one of us will win and will have to sit in the ruins left behind, let's fight outside the kingdom," I offered, and Hela chuckled.
"I suppose rebuilding my castle would take valuable time. Time I can better use in other matters," Hela nodded, smiling.
"Good," I nodded, everything was going fine so far. But just in case, Heimdall had orders to evacuate everyone in Asgard to one of Alex's safe locations, a large villa he had in Italy for vacations.
"Lead the way, little brother," Hela ordered.
—-----------------------------------------------------------------------
[Sif POV]
Thor's plan was simple.
But it had its merits.
First, we had to evacuate everyone out of Asgard, ensuring no one would die in the crossfire of their battle, second, we would then need to regroup and help him.
He had taken Alex's words to the heart.
And had pushed aside his pride for the sake of victory.
So, as of the moment, both Heimdall and the Ancient One were evacuating everyone in Asgard by the thousands per second.
"Do you think Thor will win?" I asked the Ancient One.
"Hard to say, Thor was raised in a relatively peaceful time, Hela was forged through war," The Ancient One mused, index fingers pressed upon her lips, "Both have a similar level of power, so in the end, it all comes to experience, so going by that, no, Thor will lose, it won't be an easy fight, but he will lose."
"I see," I sighed, worrying about the big oaf.
"Now now, that's just the logical result of the battle based on the information we have," The Ancient One added, looking at me, "There are still a bunch of factors we don't know about them, factors that could drastically change the course of the battle, besides, Thor won't be fighting alone for long, for now, all he has to do is hold his ground long enough,"
I nodded, even if she was more experienced in the art of battle, there was no way she would defeat Thor before finished evacuating the planet.
"The King won't be defeated," Heimdall reassured me.
"He better not," I chuckled.
The Ancient One smiled, before turning her gaze to the forest where Thor had decided to have his battle with Hela, "I'll keep the portal open, there is someone in there in dire need of a timeout,"
I nodded, unsure as to what she meant.
—-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Loki Odinson POV]
My day started like any other, with me hating Thor and Alex, not sure which I hate more at this point.
Anyway, everything had started just like any day.
Then, an emergency evacuation was called, ordering every Asgardian on the planet to leave to earth for the moment being.
I was understandably befuddled by this.
So, I took it upon myself to investigate.
Finding, a remarkable surprise.
We had a sister.
I had seen her talking with Thor.
It had taken a lot of my power to avoid being caught by them as I spied on their little conversation.
A conversation that was given me the pieces of a puzzle I didn't know existed.
I grinned, barely containing my joy as Thor issued the challenge.
The two would fight, one would die.
If I played my cards right, all I would have to do to claim my rightful place on the throne would be killing the already worn-out survivor.
Claiming the Odin Force for me.
Never before I had been so happy with Father's negligent style of parenting.
So here I was following the two of them to the forest using a high-class illusion to conceal my being, grinning, eager to see them kill each other, but then as I was about to take another step, all of the sudden, I felt a pull dragging me out of the forest with enormous power.
"Who dares?!" I hissed, turning around, breaking my illusion.
"I dare," I heard someone whisper behind me close to my ear, startling me as I jumped a few steps back.
Seeing one of Alex's friends, the bald one, in front of me, smiling. If I wasn't mistaken, she went by the epithet of The Ancient One.
"You will pay for your insolence," I spat, summoning my daggers. Killing her would only take me a few minutes at most, if anything she had done me a favor, giving me something to do while my siblings battled to the death.
"Oh, my," The Ancient One chuckled, in an amused manner, "While normally I love to indulge children in their silly little games, I'm afraid, I have no time to babysit you, so, it's time out for you,"
Timeout? Babysit? SHE DARED! "Alex might have defeated me! But you are nothi–" and without a warning of any kind, like her casting a spell, I was falling into a seemingly endless void as the Ancient One smiled from above.
"You will remain here for a few hours, that should give you time to reflect on your actions young man," She added, closing the portal, leaving me falling.
Angry, I tried to teleport, but all that did was teleport me within this endless void, she had locked me in!
"I WILL KILL YOU!"
