177. A Certain Heist Continues

Odin went ahead and called Alexander for help. Alexander was already expecting the call so he appeared at Bifrost soon.

"Welcome to Asgard, Elder." Heimdall greeted.

"Heimdall, good to see you" He replied and just like always, gave the man a box of Firewhiskey.

"Haha, Thank you for your generosity" He happily accepted it.

"All-father is waiting for you. Please go ahead," he informed.

Alexander said his bye and walked to the Palace. On his way, he saw Thor, Rina, and Gali having an eating and drinking competition. Gali was winning, after all, she was Galactus' daughter.

He didn't disturb them and headed to Odin. While walking through the corridors heard some noise.

"Okay, here's the deal. You're going to charm her, and I'm going to poke her with this thing, extract the Reality Stone, and get gone lickety-split." A voice said.

Alexander walked to the noise and sure enough, it was Thor and Rocket from the future.

His appearance spooked them. Alexander spoke first, "Thor? What are you doing here, boy? Oh, you caught a cat for today's feast? Well, I don't eat that but Volstagg might. Let's take it to the kitchen to get it roasted."

Alexander's words scared Rocket and confused Thor. Thor didn't know who the old man was, but from the words, he knew the man was close to him... Or the current Thor.

"I am no cat... And who is this old man, Thor?" Rocket asked, further putting him in trouble.

"He's aaa... He's my...." Thor stuttered.

"Hahaha... I was just messing with you two." Alexander laughed.

"I know you two. You are from the future, right?" He asked.

Both Rocket and Thor were alerted. "What do you mean, we don't understand." Rocket tried to act oblivious.

"Ah, stop this facade. Look at Thor, he's a whale. You seriously expect him to blend in?" Alexander pointed to Thor's belly. Thor felt self-conscious and covered his fat belly.

Rocket nodded, "You are actually correct, but who are you?"

"I am known as the Elder. I am a very close friend of Odin. This Thor doesn't know me because you two are not in your own timeline. You two have come to an alternative dimension. Just like your other friends a year ago." Alexander informed them.

Thor didn't understand much but Rocket did. "Damnit, don't tell me they were unsuccessful."

"They would have been. But I let them take the 3 stones. I will allow you two to do the same. I presume you have the extractor?" He pointed to the cylinder in Rocket's hand.

"Yes, we do. Why are you helping us?" Rocket asked.

"Because I want to. That's my job. Now go and get the Reality Stone. I'll keep a watch on this emo Thor." He suggested.

Rocket agreed and ran to Jane's room. Frigga wasn't going to be there but he had told her to come as Thor needed some mother's love. She would understand once she looked at Thor's pitiful condition.

"Thor?" Frigga's voice came from behind him. Thor came out of his stupor and tried to hide.

"What are you doing?" Frigga asked.

She looked at Alexander and Alexander just nodded at her. She came forward and made Thor face her.

"Mother! What? Nothing. Hello." He started hyperventilating. Why wouldn't he, he knew his mother was going to die today.

"What are you wearing? And what's wrong with your eye?" she asked.

Thor made up some excuses but Frigga saw through them, she caressed his face and looked him in the eyes.

"Oh. You're not the Thor I know at all, are you?"

"Y-Yes I am..." He replied.

"I was raised by witches, boy. I see with more than eyes, you know that. I can see the future hasn't been kind to you, has it?" She firmly said.

Thor nearly teared up then. "I didn't say I was from the future..."

She looked him in the eyes. This was enough for Thor to loosen up.

"I am totally from the future." he cried.

She then took him to a private room to talk. Alexander also went there as the Dark Elves were going to attack soon.

Thor told her about him killing Thanos and calling himself an idiot for not going for the head.

Frigga checked her son up, "An Idiot, no. A failure, absolutely."

"And fat too," Alexander added, making Frigga chuckle.

"That was harsh, and who is he?" He asked her.

"He's the Elder and protector of Asgard. A being of a higher realm." She simply answered.

"Wait, father is the protector of Asgard," Thor argued.

"This is not your reality, son. Elder is a lot more stronger than your father. He himself asked him to become our protector and stop Ragnarok." She said.

This new information blew Thor's mind. He suddenly remembered Hela. But before he could say anything, Alexander started.

"Hela is already out of Hel, Thor. I have adopted her and now she happily lives with me and my wife. She's a good girl." Alexander said.

"Yes and I am so proud of her," Frigga added.

It suddenly struck Thor that the events of this universe were different. But he still decided to warn her about her death.

"Mum, I have to tell you something." He started.

Frigga stopped him. She probably had used something like Legilimency on Thor and knew about the future.

"But your future..." He tried to speak again.

"Don't worry, Thor. She won't die. I know Malekith is alive and coming here. It will be his death." Alexander stated.

Thor was utterly speechless, "Ah, my head hurts."

Suddenly Rocket came in running with the cylinder. "I GOT IT, THOR."

Thor quickly said goodbye to his mother and grabbed the hand of Rocket. Rocket looked at Alexander.

"Thanks, old man," he said.

"See you on the other side," Alexander replied, confusing him as he disappeared.

Frigga looked at him, "So, enemies are coming?"

"Yes, the Dark Elves are coming soon. Bor had nearly killed them but that's it." Alexander said and lifted his palm. Suddenly a glass container appeared with Aether in it. Alexander just put it in his dimensional pocket.

Odin also found him soon, "Ah, you are here. I need your help to remove Aether from that girl. Who knows how it got in her."

"It's already out, the girl is safe." He interjected.

Odin looked surprised, "Haha... That was quite fast, my friend. Let's go then. The feast to celebrate convergence will also begin soon."

"I'm afraid not. Dark Elves are alive, Odin. They are coming here to get Aether. I have safely hidden it but they will still come." He bluntly informed him.

Odin's eye widened in shock, he instantly believed Alexander. "What! Then we must erect the defenses."

"You do that, I'll stay here and wait for them. Dark Elves will go extinct today for sure." He said. Dark Elves were a being of Chaos and Darkness. They believed that the Universe should be returned to nothingness, for it they sought the Reality Stone.

Alexander was sure that even if they had the stone they wouldn't be able to do it. Just one stone isn't powerful enough to destroy the Universe.

Shortly after, some invited guests, Defenders of the Universe, also appeared on Asgard. They were made aware of the situation. Shiroi Kage and Ancient One didn't come. Hela was also going to ditch but Alexander told her about a fight and she appeared.

Hulk, Jean, Hela, Ragnarok, and Dobby had come there. It was going to be a nightmare for the Dark Elves.

"Alright, everyone. We will all take a spot and protect the area from there. We are all quite strong so I don't think it'll be any problem for us. Let's go. Our main task is simple. We need to destroy each and every Dark Elf, or else they will reappear in a few thousand years."

They all dispersed and stood guard at their points. After a while, the enemy ships and their mothership came into view.

The small ships came in cruising through but were thwarted midway by the city's defenses. They were surely not expecting Asgard to be ready.

But they had earlier sent an Akursed elf who had wreaked havoc in the palace. Odin went to stop him. But before he could stop him the Accursed elf had destroyed the Asgard Defense system.

Malekith was looking for that chance and came to the castle through the open balcony. He found Frigga first as she was a renowned witch and he expected her to know about it. He demanded the location of Aether from Frigga.

"Even if I knew I wouldn't tell you," she clearly denied him. Malekith became enraged and moved to grab her neck.

Alexander wasn't going to let her get killed this time. He apparated in front of him and punched him so hard that he got blasted into a wall.

"Hands off of her, Milk Teeth," he loudly mocked.
