*Loki Pov* (OMGGGGG I figured id throw some of these in. why not?!)
The bright sun pierced through the room waking me up, I feel a weight on my chest, as I looked down, I see a pool of dark hair laying on my chest, a smile drifts on my face when I realized I was with my soulmate. I've been such a fool, thinking running away was the best for us. I don't want Thanos to take her from me. He wants her, not just for the power she has and has yet to unlock but also to claim her and her throne. Why he would want Alfheim, I will never know but I cannot let this happen. At the cost of my own life, I'll protect her, like I should have been doing.
I look at the beauty laying on me as she moved slightly, curling up to me more as if I were going away, mumbling softly. What could she be dreaming about? She's the only person I would never try and read into her mind even if she allowed me to. I couldn't do that. I just smile at her as I caress her hair softly. She started to wake up slightly as she wrapped her arms around me tightly, I couldn't help but laugh a little "Wake up my beauty..."
*Back to 3rd Pov*
Zariah moves lightly hearing Loki's voice as she looked up at him, a tint of blush on her cheeks "Good morning..." she moves to get up as Loki quickly wrapped his arms around her pulling her down again this time coming face to face with her. "Don't go yet..." He whispered. She couldn't help but to smile at him as she gently kissed his cheek "You stayed here all night... why?" she looked into his beautiful green eyes as she placed a hand on his cheek.
Loki couldn't help but to admire his soulmate, he moved to grab her hand from his cheek and kissed the palm of it "You fell asleep and well, I didn't want to leave you when I got you back." He murmured softly. Zariah looked at him then her face looked sad a moment "I'm still mad at you... but... I'm willing to let you make it up to me, by not leaving me again." He couldn't help but laugh as he held her closer, placing a hand on his cheek, kissing her gently before speaking "I don't plan on letting you go again... I made a mistake... I am sorry love."
After a few moments, a knock came upon Zariah's door, she quickly got up and ran to the door revealing Valkyrie "Val! My dear friend. Why are you here so early?" she asked the warrior. She looked at her then Loki who was now sitting on the couch in her room "I see you are busy, I can come back" She said backing a way slowly as Zariah grabbed her wrist "No, is there something wrong?" Val shook her head "I have another contender who is quite difficult, I need your help, I'll split the pay with you like always when you help me." She smiles slightly. Val was always a good friend to Zariah and the goddess always took care of her friend. They were indeed sisters at heart. "Let me get ready and I will be right out." Val nodded and stood in her position showing she was going to wait.
Zariah quickly goes to her wardrobe and changed; Loki was watching her intently wondering what she was doing "Love? Where are you going?" he asked softly. She stopped a moment realizing she never told him exactly what she's be doing in Sakaar to survive. "I help Val with contracts. I'm not just Dahlia... or the Grandmaster's Alpha, I am also known as Scrapper 143 which I get contenders for the Grandmaster. It's what I've been doing for the time I've been here to survive. I do not use my powers because I believe he would put me in the matches." She sighs sadly as she looks at her black leather jacket in her hand as she continued "I have done what I need to, in order to survive. I want to go home whether its Alfheim or Midgard. I don't want to be here anymore." He could see a single tear fall down her cheek as he quickly got up and made his way over to her embracing her in a hug. "Oh Zari, I didn't know. I am so sorry." He kissed her forehead gently "Go, I'll still be here. I will go and be with the Grandmaster so there aren't any issues."
She looked up at him nodding as she leaned up to kiss him, he quickly wrapped his arms around her holding her close, kissing her passionately. "If he asks, we knew each other from Asgard, but do not tell him of my powers or my origin. He doesn't know. He can't know." She warned him, all he did was nod. And after that she left, following Val as Loki made his way to the VIP with the Grandmaster.
*Time Skip to where the contenders are held*
Zariah looks around as she hears arguing and fighting among the fighters, she materializes her sword in hand as she made her way to the main area of the fighting. She noticed the new comer, almost throwing a tantrum as she made her way closer, his back to her, she moved her sword to the side of his throat "I highly recommend you to calm down and prepare for your fight contender." The blonde man froze as he turned around slowly, her eyes widen as well as his as there was a trance of remembrance of them. "Thor..." She was in disbelief he was alive, he looked different. His beautiful long blonde hair cut down to short, his face with paint on it.
Thor couldn't help but laugh as he reached for her in a embrace, picking her up and laughing "Oh my Zari! You're alive!" he put her back down, she looked different to him. She wore dark clothes, her hair not flowing freely like usual; it was half way up on the top and braided, like a warrior would have. "You look different..." He said laughing a bit. "I cannot believe you are alive Thor. How is everyone? I miss them" she said as a tear fell down her face.
He couldn't help but smile at her, this goddess was a light in his life, a sister, his best friend in a way; it worried him when she disappeared. "Oh, my dear sister, I was so worried. Everyone is okay. After Ultron, a lot of them went separate ways sadly but they are safe." He replied as she just simply nodded.
"Now before you cause any more issues, you have to get ready to fight sadly. I have to tell you something, Loki is alive and he is here." She said, waiting for him to get upset but he smiled a little "I know... I saw him when they decided to cut my hair." She looked at him in shock and nodded "It does look good. But you must go, don't make it difficult. I don't want to have to hurt you." She laughed a bit.
Before Zariah could tell him who he was fighting, he was pulled through the doors "Thor... Just... be safe..." Thor simply smiles and nods as he made his way into the contender stadium. Val comes up behind her "Hey thanks for that... didn't know you knew him too." Zariah turns to look at her "Yea from Asgard, he's like a brother to me and the other is the soulmate I told you about." Val stops a moment with a serious look "Are you kidding me?" the goddess just nods at her "Yep, the Grandmaster's guest is my soulmate who I thought died." She said as she sighed sadly.
*Time Skip to VIP Box*
Hundreds of thousands of people are packed into the stadium seats, cheering, roaring and ready to watch the fight. Dozens of starships are parked above the arena to watch the spectacle. Zariah was in the VIP box standing on the right side of the Grandmaster's seat, Loki was lounged in the suite, taking wagers on the fight card. Zariah was annoyed at the fact of him enjoying himself way too much. She was dressed in her normal armor; more because the Hulk needs calming after his fights, he's typically still rowdy and she can't do her job in a dress.
The Grandmaster himself, walks out into the center of the arena as suddenly a projection of himself going over 60 ft. tall to address the audience;
"Wow! Look at all of you. What a show, WHAT A NIGHT! Who's having fun? Please, I'm your host. Big round of applause for all of our undercard competitors – who died so gruesomely. Good sports. What a show! What a night! This is what you've come for and so have I."
A huge round of applause roars through the crowds, the goddess rolls her eyes a bit; she always hated his speeches. She stood there as he continued, she wanted nothing more than to leave.
"And now, without further ado – It's time for the main event! Making his first appearance, though he looks promising, got a couple tricks up his sleeve. I'll say no more, see what you think. Ladies and gentlemen – I give you – Lord of Thunder!"
As he finished, Thor walks into the arena in his armor with two swords on his back, a mace and a spiked shield in his hands, "Watch out for his fingers, they make sparks." The Grandmaster chimes in. Thor looks up at the screaming audience and then puts on his helmet. A close variation of his winged helm he used to wear on Asgard. He was ready. Zariah watched on in worry as she still stood at attention in her spot not moving. Loki looks to her as he spoke to her in hush tones "Does he know?" She looked at him with a slight scowl on her face but shook her head "I didn't get a chance to..."
The Grandmaster spoke once again "Okay, this is it. Let's get ready to welcome this guy. Here he comes. He is a creature. What can we say about him? Well, he's very unique. There's none like him. I feel a special connection with him." The goddess rolled her eyes as she watched the floor lowered a bit below Thor's feet and the opposing door across the arena opens. She can hear the crowd in anticipation as the lights turned brighter for Thor's opponent.
"He's undefeated. HE'S THE REIGNING. HE'S THE DEFENDING. Ladies' and gentleman. I give you –" as the Grandmaster finishes, a loud crash sounded through the stadium as bursting through the door, Hulk came through wearing an armored shoulder guard and a spartan helmet. He carries a Warhammer in one hand and a battle axe in the other. Hulk pounded on his chest and roars, energizing an already frenzied crowd.
The sight of Hulk, makes Thor's drop to his sides along with his jaw dropping as he laughs his ass off and screams "YESSSSSSSS!!!" Zariah in the VIP box couldn't help but giggle slightly at Thor's demeanor, she knew Thor thought of Banner/Hulk as his friend. Thor looked the VIP box "Hey! We know each other. He's a friend from work!" He turned to Hulk "Where have you been? Everybody thought you were dead. You and Zariah. We've been worried honestly." He turns back to the VIP box addressing Zariah and Loki "Loki! Zari! Look who it is!" Loki covers his face with his hand in embarrassment as Zariah just laughs.
The battle commences...
