Ten Days Later, Asgard
"Why did you bring us back?"
"You realize what you've done, what you have started?"
"I was protecting my home."
"You can not protect your friends from harm; how can you protect the kingdom? Get them to the Healing Room now!"
A man wearing dark golden armor with a red cape. He had a white beard over his face, white hair, and a golden eyepatch.
He was none other than All-Father Odin.
Next to him stood a man with long blonde hair and silver armor with a red cape. He stood, holding a hammer in his hand.
He was none other than the God of Hammer, Thor.
There was also another man wearing a green dress, standing behind him. He was none other than the Third Prince of Asgard, Loki.
When Odin spoke to him, Thor replied.
"There won't be a kingdom to protect if you are afraid to act. Jotun must learn to fear me just as they used to fear you."
"That pride and vanity talking, not leadership. You have forgotten everything I've taught you about Patience."
Odin answered.
Hearing that, Thor growled.
"While you wait, the Nine Realms laugh at us. The old ways are done. You stand giving speeches while Asgard falls."
Odin angrily shouted at him.
"You are a vain, greedy, and cruel boy."
"And you are an old man and a fool."
"Yes, I was a fool thinking you were ready."
"Father!"
Loki tried to intervene when Odin shouted.
"Hey!"
He immediately backed down as Odin continued.
"Thor Odinson, you have betrayed the express command of your king through your arrogance and stupidity."
"You have welcomed these peaceful realms and innocent lives to the horror and desolation of war."
As he said that, he placed his spear on a machine, and lightning bolts started spreading out everywhere.
"You are unworthy of these realms. You are unworthy of your title. You are unworthy of the loved ones you have betrayed."
As he started pulling out his armor and cape. Then, he walked back to the machine before he pulled Thor's hammer into his hand and continued.
"I now take from you your power. In the name of my father, his father before, I Odin All Father cast you out."
As he said, Thor fell into the whirlpool of white light before he was cast away from that place.
Odin pulled the hammer near his face and whispered.
"Whosoever holds this hammer, if he is worthy, shall possess the power of Thor."
At this moment, Odin started to fall while Thor was cast to Earth.
......…..
The arrival of the hammer did cause quite a lot of tension. People didn't know where this hammer came from, but they knew it was special.
Many tried to lift it, but they failed.
Shield finally put secure parameters around the hammer, creating a mobile lab to study it using some of their finest researchers.
"Have we found nothing, Coulson?" Fury stood on the side, watching the hammer as he asked while holding a tablet.
Coulson, standing next to him, shook his head.
"Sir, that's all the information we know. It is already in your tab."
"This information isn't important enough. Even I can see something is wrong with this hammer."
"We have used dozens of methods and tools to raise it, but nothing has been successful. Scientific ways are not working, Coulson."
"We need to find what ticks that hammer. What could be the reason why this hammer weighs more than an entire helicarrier but doesn't create any impact?"
Hearing Fury's words, Coulson narrowed his eyes and said.
"Sir, are you suggesting we should talk to Adam about this?"
Fury rolled his eyes and said.
"And sell more souls for nothing? No, we need someone else. Someone who has dealings with the mystical powers but doesn't belong to any forces."
"I will contact Ghost Rider tonight and bring him here."
Hearing that, Coulson frowned.
"Sir, we haven't made any prior contact with Johnny Blaze. Even if we could make contact, we are not sure he will join us."
Fury sighed.
"Coulson, we are Shield. Our job is to protect humanity from any kind of threats that can level cities."
"We have the resources provided by the five most powerful countries in the world. Can't we just pay him to get here?"
"Or, maybe help his girlfriend secure a new job at Mystical Media? I believe Johnny would be more than thrilled to see some terms of this company."
"You mean a hundred percent protection guarantee?"
Coulson rolled his eyes, but he also found it quite interesting.
These were the benefits given to the employee of Mystical Media, but this media had only acquired VidTube.
Except for that, it hadn't gotten its hands on many of the prominent reporters.
Roxanne Simpson!
She was the girlfriend of Johnny Blaze, but her life hadn't been quite stable since Johnny became Ghost Rider.
But if she joined Mystical Media, Fury was sure Adam would protect her.
.........
Soon, Fury found himself in a bar. Sitting next to him was a middle-aged man with a black leather jacket.
"So, why did you contact me all of a sudden?"
"I heard Roxanne has been in a troublesome situation these days." Nick said.
When Johnny heard that name, the fire emerged in his eyes.
"Fury, you better keep your distance from her, or else, I will burn your Shield. I have seen their sins."
Although he spoke with a calm tone, even a child would be able to hear the anger in his tone.
Fury didn't give a shit about his threat. He simply nodded and said.
"Three years of silent work have given you a lot of experience. Think you can work with a team now?"
"I don't work with others, Fury, especially not with Agents." Johnny replied.
Fury placed a phone on the desk and tapped the screen. A new projection appeared on top of the phone.
Several names and pictures started playing.
Tony Stark- Iron Man (A man wearing a suit of red and gold armor)
Steve Rogers- Captain America (A man wearing blue and white spandex, holding a circular shield)
Bruce Banner- Hulk (A green, raging monster plus a genius with seven PhDs)
Logan- Wolverine (A mutant with an angry temperament and unbreakable will)
"I am assembling a team of superpowered beings to fight a threat that normal humans can't even comprehend."
"A war is coming, and we need your help."
This time Johnny didn't reject him outright. Normally, he wouldn't work with Shield.
But this picture showed quite an interesting part of the world.
A raging green monster, a man wrapped in technology, a mutant, and a soldier from the past.
If someone had said this to him four years ago, he would've given them a blank stare and number to the mental hospital.
But now, it wasn't the same. The power of the Ghost Rider resides inside him.
Although tempted, he still shook his head.
"Fury, you can't understand my enemies. It is better to keep our distance."
"Enemies like Dimensional Beings?"
When he said that, Johnny finally showed extreme emotions as he asked.
"Where did you hear that?"
Fury snapped his fingers, picked up his phone, and stood up.
"I have my sources, Johnny. You aren't the only one blessed with the power of a Dimensional Being."
"This is not a blessing. It's a curse." Johnny angrily retorted.
"It's what you want it to be. You can control it; it's your power. You can't control it; it's your nightmare."
"If you are more interested, you can join me in New Mexico."
Saying so, Nick left the bar and joined the car waiting for him outside. And soon, they left.
"Shit!"
Johnny cursed but eventually stood up and left the bar. He was going to find Nick.
......…
Somewhere within the boundaries of space-time of Nine Realms;
A red light started flickering. An event that was supposed to happen a few years later began to change.
Under the silent manipulation of a certain individual, the space-time cracked, and a man wearing a mask silently appeared inside this space.
His red pupil stared at a red liquid that was floating in mid-air.
He slowly raised his right hand, and purple energy gathered and shot towards the red liquid.
But after a while, nothing changed.
"I thought I could simply take out Reality Stone with a clone. It seems like I overestimated my clone."
Tobi muttered and closed his eyes.
The next moment, a portal appeared next to him.
Kurama walked out of the portal, and at that moment, he flinched.
"Damn! First Eternity, not Vishanti, I hate these guys suppressing my power."
Although complaining, he raised his hand and activated telekinesis. The entire outer layer of the Reality Stone slowly disappeared, leaving only the red stone.
Without much hesitation, he grabbed the reality stone with one hand and opened his other hand.
A similar red stone appeared on his. He covered it with a similar liquid and placed it there.
The next moment, Kurama opened the portal and left.
Tobi speechlessly stared at the duplicate stone and opened his other palm, which also showed a similar stone.
"So, what do I do with this?"
