บท 75: Robbing Asgard Blind
It had been a couple weeks since Kingpin had become our puppet and it was finally time to begin the heist. I went to the Astral Realm and transformed into Palpatine and I hid under Sith robes for my visit to Jotunheim. The meeting place we selected was a cave not too far outside the capital. Once I arrive I wait for Farbauti to arrive with the candidates I chose. I see her.
Farbauti: "It's good you arrived. I have the Frost Giants ready. Are you certain you can get them inside without being detected?"
Rio: "Yes. It is easy for me to do. Now are they ready to possibly die if they should fail?"
Farbauti scoffs.
Farbauti: "They are true Frost Giants. They will die before letting anyone capture them. They won't fail not with the training I have had them do."
I see the Frost Giants selected and I nod and wave my hands to summon a Gate.
Rio: "Walk through here and you will appear in an area near the Vault. It is currently unprotected. Once inside you must hurry as Odin will notice your presence in the Vault."
The Frost Giants nod and walk into the Gate. Once they are all through I close it and I walk to the observation room. Farbauti follows me as I use the Palantir to see their progress.
Farbauti: "Are you sure Asgard will not be able to trace scrying to us?"
Rio: "Asgard cannot pierce my anti-scrying wards. They will not even know they are being spied on. Now let us watch and see how well your Frost Giants do."
Farbauti rolls her eyes but watches nonetheless. I watch and we see that they succeed in getting to the Casket fairly quickly as I had already given them a clear map of the Vault.
Farbauti: "See I told you they wouldn't fail."
Rio: "Hmm, perhaps but I sense that Odin has already discovered them and I believe Thor is heading to intercept them now. How well will they fair against him I wonder?"
Farbauti: "They won't last too long but they know that they must do everything they can to flee with the Casket rather than fight."
I stroke my chin as if I am contemplating something.
Rio: "I suppose we will have to see."
We continue watching and just as I had said Thor intercepts them and 2 of the 5 die quickly. I was slightly confused by the absence of the Destroyer Armor. The fastest giant takes the Casket and attempts to run while the toughest stays behind to stall Thor. The last Frost Giant has another random artifact and runs in another direction hoping to draw some guards away. I look at Farbauti with my yellow eyes and she scowls.
Rio: "A wise strategy but it seems this plan has failed."
Farbauti: "Can't you use your magic to pull them out?"
Rio: "I am afraid they must make it to the Rendezvous point before the Gate will open. Otherwise, Odin might interfere directly."
Farbauti: "Sigh. Then we will be moving on to Plan B it seems. Are your weapons ready?"
Rio: "The BCA will deliver the weapons in a few hours. Thor will undoubtedly come to attack Jotunheim make sure to be ready for him."
Farbauti: "I assure you we will be. Thor may be strong but he is ultimately just one while we are many."
Rio: "I doubt I have to remind you but be careful not to kill Thor. If you want freedom from Asgardian rule you will need Thor as a hostage."
Farbauti: "Please, I am no fool and neither is my husband. We know Odin is old and has weakened a bit but even if we managed to kill him it would devastate Jotunheim and the Frost Giants."
We watch as the last Frost Giant is killed and the artifacts are taken back. We watch as Thor is furious but Odin silences him temporarily.
Rio: "I shall take my leave. Unless you have anything you want to ask me."
Farbauti: "No. Just don't cheat us."
Rio: "I assure you I am not going to back out of our arrangement."
I take my Palantir and leave no trace behind. I go to the Hearth and watch the events of the first Thor movie happen. This time the Frost Giants have a massive technological advantage. Unlike Asgard who still uses simple weapons, I had supplied the Frost Giants with Sakaar tech to use as weapons. Thor, Sif, and the Warriors Three took quite the beating before Odin stepped in. Once Thor was banished and Odin fell into an Odin sleep I waited for Odin and Loki to leave before activating my distractions.
'Okay now before I enter I will need a distraction to get in and out undetected that's where my summons come in.'
I open a Gate just outside the Asgard capital and through it walks many individuals.
???: "Remeber the plan. We only need to cause chaos but our lord doesn't want civilian casualties if we can help it."
Everyone: "Yes Captain!"
POV Fake Frieza Force Member
I was following the other Shadow Clones and the very interesting Captain who was put in charge of us. The main body was trained in Ki techniques for this heist and distraction but I still question if this was the best course of action.
Ginyu: "Look alive we have company!"
Asgardian: "Halt! You are trespassing in Argardian territory state your business or else!"
A Ki blast blasts away the Asgardian.
Ginyu: "Ignore him! Asgard is aware of us and they are sending an army."
We wait near the outskirts of the city for the army of Asgardians. Leading them are Loki and Heimdall.
Loki: "Who dares invade Asgard!"
I watch as the Ginyu Force begins their intro. I hear music come from somewhere but I can't tell where. It seems I am not the only one who notices the music as Heimdall also looks around confused.
Recoome: "Heeyah! Recoome!"
Burter: "Kekeke! Burter!"
Jeice: "HAAAAA! Jeice!"
Guldo: "OOOOOH! Guldo!"
Ginyu: "Ginyu!"
Ginyu Force: "To-geth-er we are... The Ginyu Force!"
Multi-colored smoke explodes from behind them and the Clones and I clap as we know it is only polite to do so. I see that the entire Asgardians are extremely confused as to what just happened.
Loki: "... Uh okay."
Ginyu: "By order of Lord Frieza we are to conquer your pitiful planet and take it for the Freiza Force!"
Loki looks at Heimdall and asks a question.
Loki: "Are they serious or is this some sort of elaborate prank? I have never heard of the Frieza Force."
Heimdall: "I am not sure either my lord. But they have defeated an Asgardian already as such they are definitely not friendly. Though I caution you not to take the one called Ginyu lightly as I feel he is dangerous."
Before Loki can respond Ginyu yells.
Ginyu: "Enough talking it's time to fight. All forces attack!"
We all begin to charge Ki blasts before releasing them at the Asgardians. Most of the hits won't be lethal but will undoubtedly injure them and likely disable them for a time. After the first volley of Ki attacks, we rush into melee distance. I see the Ginyu Force send attacks at Loki and Heimdall. With their Scouters, they can tell who are the strongest fighters.
POV Ginyu
Ginyu: "You warrior what is your name?"
Heimdall: "I am Heimdall the Gatekeeper."
Ginyu: "You are the third strongest warrior on this planet and as much as I would like to fight Odin I was told he is unable to fight at this time."
Heimdall looks surprised by my words and he tries to attack me but I simply dodge. I find his speed to be lacking but I play along. I shoot several Ki blasts at him and after a few minutes, I have beaten him to a pulp.
Ginyu: "Pathetic, I expected more from Asgard the supposed home of the gods."
I have to dodge as a dagger attempts to stab me in the back. I look and see Loki becoming visible.
Ginyu: "I am surprised you are attacking me. I assumed a coward like you would be unable to attack me. Now kid why don't you get your father otherwise I will have to beat you until he shows up."
Frigga: "That won't be necessary. I will fight you in his stead."
Ginyu: "Huh, you are the second strongest on this planet. I don't mean to be rude but even both of you together wouldn't be able to stop me let alone the rest of my team. Look around you. Most of your army is either dead or unconscious. You have already lost. Odin is the only chance you have now."
Frigga: "Loki go to your father and use the elixer in the left cabinet on him. Ginyu is right we can't win like this. I will hold him off until then."
Loki: "Mother we can defeat him if we use our magic together!"
Frigga: "Listen to me and go!"
I watch as Loki vanishes and he runs to the palace.
'Idiots I can sense them even if they are invisible.'
I charge up a Ki blast and shoot it at Frigga but she manages to block with her magic. I was told to stall for time so I decided to fight her.
POV Rio
I enter the Vault while the battle begins. Once inside I began stealing and selling everything I could get my hands on. The only artifacts I was unable to steal were Gungnir and the Destroyer Armor as the Destroyer Armor wasn't stored in the vault right now. Still, I gained a massive 61 Million System Points from Asgard. I then moved to the other vaults to steal Asgard's wealth and as many spare weapons as I could.
'That was an easy heist. Now I need to leave before I am spotted.'
I leave and return to the Hearth where I start watching Loki panic as he runs to awaken Odin with some sort of elixir. I watch as Odin wakes up and frowns likely discovering the Vault has been emptied of everything. Odin then listens to Loki and summons the Destroyer Armor before entering the battle against the 'Freiza Force'. Our forces are destroyed fairly quickly but the Ginyu Force while injured manages to flee before they are all killed.
'I knew Odin was strong but wow that was fairly quick. I guess Ginyu managed to injure Odin slightly but not enough to stop him. I mean he took a full-power Milky Cannon and it only slightly injured him. I am glad I escaped before he woke up.'
I watch as Odin leaves the Destroyer Armor and almost immediately collapses. It seems the elixir had some side effects. I see Odin transported back to the palace I also check to see if any Asgardians were killed and find that while many were badly injured none of them died at my clone's hands a few died at the Ginyu Force's hands. I then think about what Odin must be thinking.
'I imagine he is both upset and happy as now Ragnarok can't happen. The Eternal Flame no longer exists and as such Surtur can no longer destroy Asgard. Then again Asgard has now lost all their powerful artifacts but oh well. That and most of their army is now injured and Asgard was just attacked in likely the first time in thousands of years.'
I stop watching Asgard and instead focus on Thor and seeing how he manages with Earth. I see that Jane Foster and her group were traveling to investigate after detecting the cosmic disturbance by Thor's banishment. I contemplate when to get involved.
'For now, I should let things be. I should focus on stealing the Kree corpse from Shield and further scrapping the Kree city before anyone else discovers it.'
I use the Palantir to find anything and everything Shield has that is interesting to me then I do what I did with Operation Swiper but on a smaller scale. It only takes a few clones to quickly steal everything Shield/Hydra has that is valuable to me. The only things I didn't take were living beings and the Tesseract. Most of what I take is only useful for selling to the store but a few items are worthy of research instead. Most of the valuable things they had were already stolen by me.
'Okay, that solves Shield and Hydra for a bit now to take the abandoned city and scrap it. I will need to use Earth Release and maybe transport materials to fill in the massive hole the underground city will leave when we are done.'
I arrive at the secret entrance to the city and send some clones to make sure the defenses are down. Once I get confirmation I summon around 10k Clones and send them in to quickly take down the city. I made sure they were all dressed as Team Galactic so if we were spotted it would only mean Hydra/Shield would waste resources trying to find out what we were doing here. By the time I finished the city, I counted all I gained and the total points were only 4 Million. I was just a bit below a quarter of a Billion System Points.

Authors Note:
I read up on what the events of the first Thor movie were and I realized that the events of Thor were completely unrelated to anything timeline-wise other than Thor's coronation but really any event would do. That's why Thor is happening early. I hope you enjoyed the Ginyu Force's little fight. From what I can tell most Asgardians would stand no chance against the Ginyu Force. The only one who could threaten them was Odin, awakened Thor, and Hela. At least in my opinion. Lastly, Rio isn't stealing the Tesseract as he wants to steal the Space Stone and Mind Stone at the same time. Besides the Reality Stone and maybe the Soul Stone Rio can technically obtain all the other Infinity Stones. But Rio will be waiting to do so for a bit. I hope you enjoyed the chapter and until next time Ciao.
