Loki's War

**Loki's War** (also known as the **Battle of the Nine Realms**) was a big war-like battle from Marvel's *The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes*. It deals with the Avengers fighting to free the Nine Realms from the dark forces led by Loki. The war takes place in the the three-part Season 1 finale, "This Hostage Earth," "The Fall of Asgard," and "A Day Unlike Any Other."

## History

### Background

It all started with Thor's evil adopted brother, Loki who attempted to take over the Nine Realms as revenge for Thor's father, Odin killing his real father. To do that, Loki staged an attack on Asgard using the Frost Giants to try and take the throne after he lied to them claiming that the Asgardians were planning to go to war with them. Since Odin was getting weak, Thor was called to help stop Loki by Heimdall then he and his Asgardian Warrior friends fought against the Frost Giants and Loki until they were all eventually defeated because Loki let himself get defeated. When Thor presented Loki to Odin, Odin banished him to the Isle of Silence where Amora the Enchantress and Skurge the Executioner later freed him. Loki also orchestrated Thor to get into a fight with Odin about protecting Earth after he tricked the Wrecking Crew into raiding a dock for a Gamma Radiation device while impersonating the Leader which Thor stopped and met a nurse named Jane Foster whom he gained feelings for. This drove Thor to leave Asgard for Earth, just when Odin went into his Odinsleep to try and regain his power, the Odinforce. Loki even orchestrated the Breakout on Earth by freeing multiple criminals from their prisons to try and keep Thor busy on Earth for a while which in turn left Asgard and the rest of the Nine Realms without a leader and protection. This allowed Loki to take the throne and assume rulership over the Asgard by allying himself with the dark forces which included the Frost Gants, the Ogres, and other Asgardians which he later used to conquer the other Realms. Loki even managed to take the Odinforce from Odin through Yggdrasil the World Tree to become the All-Father of Asgard. Loki also sent Amora the Enchantress and Skurge the Executioner to assemble a team of the criminals who were freed in Breakout known as the Masters of Evil to help further his plans by conquering Earth without the other members even knowing it, especially Baron Zemo who was used as a puppet leader for the group. Together they tried to destroy the Avengers by taking them down one by one but were defeated by Hawkeye, Black Panther, and Ant-Man who helped save the others.

Then one day, Malekith the Accursed, King of the Dark Elves stole the Casket of Ancient Winters that was hidden on Earth under orders from Loki. But when he presented it to Amora and Skuge, he double-crossed them and tried to use the Casket of Ancient Winters to freeze Earth and conquer it for his people but was stopped by the Avengers. But Amora and Skurge managed to steal the Casket of Ancient Winters back, took it to Asgard, and gave it to the Frost Giants then when Thor tried to go after them, he somehow couldn't return to Asgard. Thor was later taken to the realm of Amora where she tried to brainwash him into staying after saving him from an attack by Ultron. But Thor was able to resist her temptation and demanded Amora to return him back to Earth despite Amora's claims that she was trying to save him and that Earth was going to be destroyed. Then one day, the Masters of Evil came up with a plan to help Loki conquer Earth by using magical artifacts called the Norn Stones which they stole from the Norn Queen, Karnilla. Meanwhile, the Avengers were trying to figure out how to get Thor back to Asgard using a special device designed by Iron Man and Black Panther. But Captain America reveals that he once saw something like it during the days of World War II that Red Skull made in a secret HYDRA laboratory in Norway in an attempt to take over the world using an army of Asgardian Creatures. From that, the Avengers theorized that the machine worked through the mystical ley lines which were lines of pure mystical energy that connected Earth to the other Nine Realms. However, the Masters of Evil placed the Norn Stones in different parts of Earth where the mystical ley lines intersected to strengthen their power with each member guarding them. So the Avengers split up to investigate the dimensional energy flares coming from the Norn Stones where they eventually found them but wound up fighting off each member of the Master of Evil with Thor getting captured by Amora and Baron Zemo at the old HYDRA laboratory and communication between the Avengers getting cut off. Amora tried using the Norn Stones to bring all the Nine Realms together which summoned creatures from those realms to Earth. But then Zemo betrayed Amora by placing a control collar on her and used her to try and control the creatures for himself revealing that he always knew that Amora was using him. Zemo then tried to kill Thor with a magic sword given to him by Amora but Thor managed to escape capture and defeated both Zemo and Amora which in the process freed Amora from Zemo's control collar. After the Avengers defeated the rest of the Masters of Evil and communication between them was restored, Thor told them all to destroy the Norn Stones which stopped Amora's spell. But in the process, transported them all to the Nine Realms and knocked them all out then when Thor woke up, he was in Asgard confronted by Loki in the Asgardian throne room.

### The Battle

In Asgard, Loki captures and taunts Thor while at the same time revealing to him about how he was able to conquer the Nine Realms because Odin was still in his Odinsleep and that he defeated the warriors of Asgard after gaining the power of the Odinforce which he uses to torture Thor. Loki even reveals to Thor that Earth is the last realm left that he plans to conquer and how he was behind both the Breakout and the Masters of Evil. Then Loki plans to execute Thor along with both Heimdall and Balder the Brave who were also captured by Loki. Meanwhile, The Avengers all end up in different realms where they fight off against Loki's forces and get help from other warriors and creatures who have also been fighting back against Loki's forces. Hawkeye ends up in Alfheim the realm of the Light Elves where he fights off some Asgardian Wolves with help from a Light Elf named Faradei. Wasp and Ant-Man end up in Jotunheim the realm of the Frost Giants where Ant-Man fights them off as Giant-Man while Wasp is still hurt and unconscious from the fight with the Masters of Evil. But Ant-Man gets beaten badly by their king, Ymir who uses the Casket of Ancient Winters until he gets help from the Valkyries; Lady Sif and Brunnhilde who take both Ant-Man and Wasp to safety on their Pegasi. Hulk ends up in Vanaheim the realm of the Ogres with Skurge's axe where he fights them off but eventually gets subdued by them. But Hulk manages to free himself, defeats the Ogres, and frees some of the Asgardians they captured which includes the Warriors Three; Fandral, Hogun, and Volstagg. Black Panther ends up in Svartalfheim the realm of the Dark Elves where he fights them off and escapes through a well to Alfheim where he finds Hawkeye and helps him and Faradei fight off the Asgardian Wolves. Iron Man gets stripped of his armor and ends up in Nidavellir the realm of the Dwarves where he helps them and King Etrie fight off Ulik the Rock Troll. Who Iron Man beats by blasting Ulik with a repulsor blast from his Arc Reactor after disconnecting it with a sword but Etrie is able to put it back into Iron Man's chest then they both escape to the forge where Etrie personally made Thor's hammer, Mjolnir. But Captain America ends up in Niffleheim the realm of the afterlife where he is confronted by ghosts of his dead soldier friends from World War II known as the Howling Commandos who are all upset with him for leaving them behind and offer him to join them. But when Captain America sees that Bucky isn't there with them, he realizes that they are all just an illusion. Then he is confronted by Niffleheim's ruler and Loki's daughter, Hela, and her pet, Fenris Wolf who won't let him leave.

The Avengers and their Asgardian allies prepare to fight back against Loki who is preparing for Thor's execution. With Iron Man building a new armor in the forge with help from King Etrie, Ant-Man, and a recovered Wasp riding with Lady Sif, and the Valkyries and are given Asgardian armor, Hawkeye and Black Panther riding on a boat craft with Faradei and Hulk riding on chariots with the Warriors Three. Eventually, some of the Avengers and their Asgardian allies all get together and fight off Loki's forces at the Bifrost Bridge which include Frost Giants, Ogres, and some Asgardian Warriors who have sided with Loki. After defeating them all, the Avengers and their Asgardian allies go to stop Loki at the Asgardian palace before he conquers Earth and kills Thor. Meanwhile, Hela tries to convince Captain America to stay with her but he refuses and tells her to send him to Asgard to help Thor and stop Loki. Hela accepts but on the condition that if Captain America dies in battle, his mortal spirit will belong to her forever. As Loki gains more power from the World Tree, he is informed about the Avengers and their Asgardian allies fighting off his forces. So Loki uses a magical ram's horn to summon Hoarfen the giant ice wolf to fight against them and he nearly defeats them until Captain America shows up to help them out. With his leadership, the Avengers and their Asgardian allies are able to defeat Hoarfen by crashing him into the palace where they confront Loki and fight him off. But Loki proves to be too strong as he defeats them all using the Odinforce and even destroys Captain America's shield with his scepter. Loki taunts the Avengers and prepares to attack them all until Iron Man shows up with a special armor made out of the same material as Mjolnir. Iron Man fights off Loki with help from Hulk, Wasp, and Captain America who uses an Asgardian shield while Hawkeye frees Thor. Thor tells Hawkeye, Black Panther, and Ant-Man that in order to stop Loki they have to cut off his power by breaking his connection with the World Tree then he goes off to help the other Avengers fight off Loki after getting back Mjonir. When Hawkeye, Black Panther, and Ant-Man get to the World Tree they fight off some Asgardian Crows who use sonic screams. Meanwhile, Loki continues to fight off the Avengers until Thor arrives and knocks Loki down using Mjonir. But then Loki starts to lose control of the Odinforce and starts to go mad to the point where he might destroy the Nine Realms and cause Ragnarök. Back at the palace, Ant-Man shrinks down to avoid the Asgardian Crows and manages to break Loki's connection to the World Tree by becoming Giant-Man and uprooting it which causes a new World Tree to grow in its place. This also causes Loki to lose the Odinforce which returns back to Odin and awakens him from his Odinsleep as the Avengers fight with Loki was just a distraction so they could take away the Odinforce from him. Loki is then confronted by the Avengers and Odin who uses the Odinforce to defeat Loki and his army, freeing the Nine Realms from his tyranny.

### Aftermath

Loki is then imprisoned underneath Earth tied up with roots as the giant Midgard Serpent painfully seeps its venom into his eyes. The Avengers are praised as heroes by Odin and return back home to Earth with Iron Man returning the Asgardian suit he made back the the Dwarves. However, Thor decides to stay in Asgard to help rebuild it and the Nine Realms with his father and friends. But when the Avengers all got back to Avengers Mansion, Captain America was captured and replaced by a Skrull which led to the Skrull Invasion where Thor eventually returned. A while later, Amora the Enchantress and Skurge the Executioner started going after the other members of the Masters of Evil to get revenge on Baron Zemo for betraying them and causing them to fail Loki but in the process, all the Masters of Evil were defeated by the Avengers and sent to Prison 42. But Amora was made into a slave by Surtur, King of the Fire Demons after being transported to his realm, Muspelheim by Wonder Man with the last Norn Stone but Wonder Man was never seen again. Then after the real Captain America returns, he is able to repair his shield with help from Black Panther and Wakanda. Then one day, Loki tried to get revenge on the Avengers by having Amora strip them of their powers and destroy them using the Destroyer after Amora transferred Loki's soul into it but the Avengers managed to get their powers back, defeated Loki, and locked up the Destroyer.
