C35 : In return I'll owe you a favour.

Nick continued to fly through the air, weaving in and out of the different types of forges that were in his way.

Nick was flying closer and closer to the hammer sounds, he could soon see the sparks of the hammer striking a long piece of metal, the sparks highlighted the outline of a giant man, he was at least 10 feet tall and he had brown hair with a great big bushy beard.

The giant was using his hammer to hit a long piece of metal that was red with extreme amounts if heat, the glow coming from the inside of the metal, the hammer strikes shaped the red metal into a point, and with each strike the red glow returned to the cold silver of the metal.

Nick pointed Mjolnir down so he would land in the ground just behind the giant, and with a mighty thud he landed on the ground in a slight crouch from the impact.

"Eitri, I need you to make me something, I think you will find it pretty interesting." Nick smiled to himself as he looked at Eitri's back.

When Eitri suddenly heard his name he froze, he then returned his hammer to his belt and the used the tongues he was using to hold the metal in place to move the metal to a vat of oil beside him, he then dunked the metal in to the oil and as he did the metal steamed and sizzled with life as the metal cooled.

Once it was he rested the metal down in the anvil and turned to face Nick, he didn't give off any surprise when he saw Nick but when Nick felt his eyes go over the Eternal Flame and Mjolnir he saw Eitri's eyes widen slightly.

"What are you doing here demon? Why do you have Mjolnir? And what happened to Thor if you have her?" Eitri asked Nick.

"Okay from the very beginning, I'm not a demon I'm a human from Earth or as you call it Midgard, I'm borrowing her from Thor for a little bit and I plan to give her back after you have agreed to help me with my little plan, and finally Thor is on Midgard, striped of his powers, by Odin of course, so he can learn a lesson and hopefully rid him of his arrogance, Oh I should also tell you that Odin recently put an enchantment on Mjolnir, it stops people from picking her up and they only can if she decides they are worthy." Nick explained, and as he did Eitri just listened silently.

He then looked towards Mjolnir and then said to Nick, "Let me see." He commanded Nick.

Nick ignored his tone and just waited to watch a good show, and so Nick threw the hammer towards Eitri, he did it in a way that it would just land right in front of him unless he tried to catch it.

Eitri held out his hand and let Mjolnir fall on top of it, but unlike what Nick thought would happen Eitri was actually able to hold Mjolnir with out strain, he then began looking it over.

"Huh? How are you able to pick it up?" Nick asked Eitri shocked at what he saw.

"I made her, of course she sees me as worthy." Eitri said to Nick with an arrogant tone.

Nick just gave up on seeing Eitri fail and instead wait for him to finish looking Mjolnir over.

Eitri was now looking along the side of Mjolnir and that's when words suddenly appeared from the hammer, "Yeah, you are right this is Odin's handy work." He said as he passed Mjolnir back to Nick.

"Now what did you want from me?" Eitri asked Nick.

"Before I tell you I have to know something, how much Uru do you have on hand?" Nick smiled at Eitri.

...

"So this is the man Nick told me to watch out for." Coulson said to himself as he looked at Thor through the one way glass.

Thor was covered in mud and his long hair was wet and tangled as it hung in front of is eyes, he looked devoid of life.

He had just tried to lift Mjolnir, or at least the copy of Mjolnir and he failed, he wasn't worthy.

Just when he hit rock bottom his brother Loki had appeared in front of him and told him that their father had died.

Soon Coulson walked into the room and said, "Alright your free to go, your professor friend is here to get you."

...

"Uru? Of course I have some, but how much do you need for this weapon?" Eitri asked Nick.

"I'm not making a weapon, I'm going to infuse the Uru into my bones." Nick told him seriously.

Eitri froze when he heard what Nick wanted to do with the Uru, "Are you crazy boy? You'll kill yourself!!" He shouted down at Nick.

"I won't die if I heal myself faster then I get hurt, I just need you to make the Uru into a liquid so I can easily infuse it into my bones." Nick explained his plan to Eitri, being completely serious and starring down Eitri so he knew just how serious he was.

"Your serious aren't you boy... why would you even want to do that to yourself?" Eitri asked Nick, shocked that there was someone out there who actually wanted to replace his bones with metal, one by one.

"I need to be as strong as I possibly can be if I want to stop him, you might have heard of him... Thanos, the Mad Titan. He plans to kill half of the universe's population, just so his twisted belief's get satisfied... Oh, and to get some piece and quite." Nick explained to Eitri as he looked out into space, thinking about the destruction Thanos was causing at that very moment.

"I could go off now into outer space, find Thanos and kill him, it would actually be quiet easy but I have seen the future and it's not me who kills him and you don't mess with fate, not unless you want something worse to come about, I'm already taking a great risk by taking away the Eternal Flame from Asgard." Nick explained as he pointed to the flame on top of his head.

"So that really is the Eternal Flame!! Boy you have to let me study it! I might be able to bring my weapons to a whole new level!" Eitri shouted excitedly and he bent down closer to Nick so he could look at the flame closer.

When the flame saw a giant head suddenly come at it, it was scared and so tried to float away but as if it was tied to Nick, it got pulled back to him, falling on top of his wings where it then hid behind.

"Boy keep it still, I can't see it!" Eitri shouted again.

"Calm down! Your scaring it." Nick shouted at Eitri angrily, before he reached around and willed the flame to jump on to his hand, he then brought it back around to the front and once again sent positive feelings down their connection so it would not be scared anymore.

Eitri was shocked by Nick's shout and leaned back again, he look serious now as he said, "You speak as if it is alive, but how can that be?" He asked Nick.

"Because I gave it life, it's like new born baby right now so be nice." Nick said to Eitri, practically telling him off.

"How did you do that?!" Eitri shouted again, getting excited as he bent down closer to Nick again.

"I have my ways, but more importantly will you help me with the Uru, I'm going to need a lot of it." Nick said as he pushed Eitri's face away.

"I can heal you, I have enough Uru for what you want to do, but weather you will survive is up to you." Eitri said becoming serious again.

"Great, what do you want in return?" Nick exclaimed happily.

"If you let me study the Eternal Flame, but even then it won't cover what you will need to pay me for the amount of Uru your asking for, I'll need something else to make up the rest." He told Nick as he pointed to the ball of fire that was sitting happily back on top of Nick's head.

"In return for the Uru I'll owe you a favour and as you said I'll let you study the Eternal Flame." Nick offered.

"How can I know how much a favour from you is worth?" Eitri said as he scrutinized Nick.

"How about I demonstrate a bit of my power." Nick said before he grabbed Eitri and covered him with a chakra cloak before he teleported them outside the ring they were standing in.

They were now standing outside the giant ring and in space, Eitri became really panicked when he was suddenly teleported into space, he was about to try and rush back inside when he realised that he was able to breath and that's when he looked down at his hands and saw the bubbling chakra cover him, that's when he realised that it was letting him breath.

He turned back around to asked Nick what it was when he became even more surprised at what he saw he looked at Nick.

Nick was glowing a orange-yellow, with thick black markings all along his body and wings, it looked like he was wearing a cloak that was perfectly made for him, with his wings and tail having holes they could fit through, "Ready?" Nick asked Eitri, but he was to shocked and was unable to answer.

Nick pointed his arm at Eitri's feet and fired a black web at them which made him get stuck to the ground, after he did that he jumped up from the ring and as he got further and further away into outer space chakra was released from his body like a flood and then formed again around him, into the shape of a nine-tailed fox that roared right after it was freed.

The roar alone was able to shake the ground Eitri was standing under, and all he could think as he looked at the giant fox was to never make an enemy out of Nick.

Now that Kurama was free he was really happy and his roar showed it, he grabbed ahold of the ring and used his chakra to stick to it like water walking.

"Kurama, I need to show off a little bit, so go all out!" Nick shouted excitedly.

"Sure thing Kit!" Kurama said back as he started to gather chakra in front of him, making a beast bomb a quarter the size of him, so it was actually 250 miles wide.

He then started to compact it into a smaller beast bomb, Kurama then bited down on the beast bomb and swallowed it whole, and then as if a balloon was being pumped up inside Kurama he expanded, when it looked like he was about to pop he opened his mouth and fired out a red beam of chakra that continued to fire out into outer space, it just so happened to hit some astroids that were floating by, making them blow up and exploded into dust and fragments.

The beam of chakra only ended when Kurama completely deflated, back to normal.

Nick then said inside his head, 'Shukaku, turn the astroid into sand and bring it over here.'

'Sure think Father!" Shukaku shouted happily, making the astroid fragments that Kurama destroyed turn into sand, he then collected it all together and used a near by astroid to push off towards them, making the sand come flying at them.

The stream of sand was getting closer and closer and as it did Nick saw it get bigger and bigger as it did, when it was finally close enough that he could tell the hole size it was as big as the very ring he was standing on.

"Woe, that's almost of sand." Nick couldn't help up exclaim, 'Alright now turn it into a gigantic statue of me.' Nick asked Shukaku.

'Right away Father!" Shukaku shouted again happily, wanting to be of help to his Father, after Kurama had explained to him just how he came into this world he became happy because it meant that he was able to help out his Father once again, if he does a good job he might even get some head scratches just like his old Father used to! Shukaku thought excitedly.

Shukaku then got to work on forming the sand into a gigantic statue of his Father, he first made the basic shape, the wings, tail and all his arms and he then did the detail, like the horns, the ball of fire in top of his head and the points of his wings.

Once everything was formed he then added colour, just like he did with Garaa's second skin, his blue skin, and black and blue eyes.

Once he was happy that he had made a perfect copy of Nick he added a seal on to it, so that it wouldn't fall apart after he left.

'How that Father?!' Shukaku asked Nick, looking for praise.

'You did a really great job, I'll reward you later.' Nick said to Shukaku as he admired his statue.

"Alright Kurama grab ahold of it and I'll then stick it to the ring." Nick told Kurama, who then did as he was asked, grabbing the giant Nick statue by its legs and moving it so it was standing onto the top of the ring, Nick then released the tail-beast mode and stuck down into the ring.

He then walked up to the statues feet and told the Eternal Flame to melt a bit of the metal around the status feet so he could weld it down to the ring.

And the flame did just that, a stream of fire came rushing at the ring making it melt slightly and attached to the statues feet, Nick told it to stop and then used his webbing to cover it so it would cool down quickly.

Nick repeated the same thing over and over again until he was happy that the statue would stay on the ring, he then walked over to the stunned Eitri and then teleported them both back into the ring.

Once they were back inside Nick dropped the tailed-beast cloak and took back the chakra cloak he gave to Eitri, "So did you think a favour from me is worth it?" Nick asked Eitri with a smile as he already knew the answer.

"Just who are you Boy?!!" Eitri screamed at Nick.
