(DAY 2, AOKIGAHARA FOREST, NEAR MT. FUJI, JAPAN: 5:00 AM)

The dark forests near Mt. Fuji gave an eerie environment which the luscious trees had served as a way for a person to hang themselves. But for the god of mischief, Loki Laufeyson, he considered them a temporary refuge. That early morning, Loki was sitting on the tree roots as he spent his entire night. For several days, he got tired of hiding and running away from the people who were once his allies. He never wanted to deal with them as he left Titan. He was not happy in doing too much evil since he got imprisoned in Asgard. Dealing with his psychological struggles and looking at the trees, he saw dead people hanging on the tree branches. At first, he got afraid in seeing them. Finally, he thought it would be a better solution before Thanos would find him. Finding a way onto the tree branch, he wanted to remove a decaying deceased person hanging on the ropes. Suddenly, a bright light from a UFO hindered him as he covered his eyes using his hands. Loki saw a spacecraft landed in front of him when a blue skinned man with a purple hair and a strange Lykonian woman appeared.

" A Kree and a Lykonian? " Loki largened his eyes in shock.

" Loki! I've been searching for you in the entire universe! " the woman hugged him as the mischief god was surprised.

" Kai Yote, you are not supposed to be here! " he recognized her and answered.

" This crazy woman brought me here to warn other species living on Earth, " the Kree who dressed like an Atlesian huntsman said. " She insisted me to find you."

" They're coming to hunt us! Loki, you have to run! "

Just then, the sound of a heavy tapping on a tree echoed throughout the forest, ringing in their ears at least once before leaving them. The three beings were frightened to hear the thresholds. Kai Yote sensed danger as she heard a strange hum coming from her head.

" Kai Yote, I'm hearing things! It reminded me of the monsters in Asgard and Jotunheim! " Loki said and turned his head.

" They're not from Asgard nor Jotunheim! They might be somewhere in this world." she replied and smelled the odd scents coming from the forest.

" They're some mad men who want to destroy Earth people and their fellow kind, " the blue-skinned alien added as he was keeping his fear using his stern and brave face.

 " Hello? Hello!... Odd, I swear I just heard some voices!" , a voice that could that fit a teenager entering adulthood spoke.

" You expect to find life in a suicide forest? Bit of a stretch don't you think? " a much younger male voice followed.

" Who are you? What do you want?! " the dark-haired Asgardian mischief god yelled in apprehension.

" They're not ghosts! They're just crazy Earth people! " the Lykonian said.

" See! There's that voice again! I heard it over there!" the first one yelled.

" Show yourselves! " the Kree angrily yelled as he wanted to know who the voices were.

" Fine, just gimme a sec. I'll take us there, " the second one heavily sighed. In a blink of an eye, the sound of leaves suddenly dispersing away from an area caught their attention. In the wake stood two men, one was wearing a full white cloak to cover his body and had brown spiky hair that went upwards with clay brown eyes. The other was wearing a dark blue suit and pants with a top hat of the same color. He also wore black gloves with holes for his fingers and held a cane in his right hand. But the most disturbing part, it was that the entire right half of his head has bandaged with stitches at the edge to keep them there. His entire right arm was also bandaged.

" Some strange and annoying men, " the Kree sternly narrowed his eyes and pulled a long blue sword with a hard and sharp crystal edge called Terrigen blade. 

" They will attack us! " Kai Yote exclaimed as she sensed a hidden aggression with those men.

" What?! No no, we're not looking for harm! I assure you." the top hatted one said and raised his tone to convince the unearthly trio. "Lastly, I checked we didn't even bring our weapons."

" You'll let us down! Right? "

" Let you down? You looking like your standing on tree roots."

Loki again felt an apprehension in seeing them. He wanted to escape as he thought of his former allies had sent them to search for him.

" Now then, would you like our names? "

" Y-yes, i-introduce yourselves! " the Asgardian cried in his shaking tone.

" Well, you can call me Bakudan. And you can call him Chronostasis. " the man in the suit tipped his hat and smirked at them. " Now then, before we take our leave, who wants to play a quick guessing game?"

" Guessing game? I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Galenn Konn from Planet Hala. You can call me by my Earth name, Gabriel Nebula." the blue-skinned man grinned.

" First of all, It's nice to meet you too! And second of all, yes, it's a guessing game. If you win, I'll give you..." he reached into his pocket and pulled out a small silver coin. "I'll give you this 100 yen coin."

" You're using Earth currency for a game? Let's see, " Gabriel raised his eyebrows for his curiosity.

" I hope the Kree man wins, " Loki said as he put his trust to his other companion. Watching them, Kai' Yote held the mischief lord's hand and found him blushing. " Why are you doing this? "

" I'll guard you at all cost. " the Lykonian woman said in determination as Loki sighed in relief.

" Well, I can't say I' m not surprised. But anyway, I'll only have one question for you. You see my name, Bakudan, is actually Japanese. The question is, what does Bakudan mean in English?" the man in the blue suit asked and shrugged as he waited for the Kree to answer.

" It's a bomb, right? " Gabriel said.

" Bingo, Bakudan means bomb! " he grinned and flicked the coin to him.

" Kree people have learned of your culture for centuries! " Gabriel proudly scoffed and loudly laughed.

" That arrogant Kree! He sounds just like Tony Stark and even worse than my brother, Thor! " Loki gritted his teeth in anger.

" He is doing it to save you and all of us here in the forest, " Kai Yote replied.

" I hope so. "

" It's also a testament to my power, did you know?" Bakudan the top hat man chuckled. " You see, we all have powers. Mine? I can turn anything I touch into a bomb. Even...A 100 yen coin..." he raised his right hand in a thumbs up and lowered the thumb like he's pressing a detonator. "And perhaps, a couple of dead corpses..."

" You mad man! You might explode anytime you want! " Gabriel furiously exclaimed and turned to the Asgardian and Lykonian." I can deal with this despicable one! You two, Run! "

"Dai ichi no Bakudan!" he pressed his thumb to his clenched hand, making it act like a detonator. The 100 yen coin and some of the hanging bodies begin to light up. Multiple explosions erupted and began to engulf the area. Gabriel powerfully slashed a tree trunk down on the ground to protect himself when the other two quickly ran away. Then, he immediately noticed that the boy in the cloak had suddenly appeared behind him, he nodded before pursuing after Loki and Kai Yote " What happened to the Kree? " Loki asked.

" Let him fight! I need you to escape! " Kai Yote answered.

The Asgardian would suddenly feel a hand pressed-up against his back, then his body began to slow down. He was now running in a slow-motion type of state.

" What is going on? You cannot trick thy god of mischief!!"

" You will all fail, evil ones! "

" Sorry, but I'm not letting you get away, you mischief lord! " the cloaked boy smirked as he continued pressing his hand to Loki's back.The dark haired being yelled in excruciating pain. The Lykonian never wanted to see her lover in this situation as she knew what to do.

" I won't let you weaken him! " Kai Yote shape-shifted into a furry four legged creature as she attacked the boy and growled.

" Then you'll be next! " the cloaked boy struck. Kai'Yote in the head with a clenched fist, but instead of a small reaction, her head whipped to the other side in an instant. She grabbed the boy's sleeves with her teeth and began to absorb his energy. The boy widened his eyes in shock which the Lykonian's power had surpassed him.

" D-Dammit! You ignorant creature!" the cloaked boy is able to clap both of his hands together and before she knew it. Kai'Yote was pinned to the ground by a large log, but she quickly disappeared using her evaporating skills to trick him. The boy searched for the missing Lykonian, but he failed when he saw there was no one under the log. He angrily sighed and looked around. Instead, he looked at his bleeding arm and scoffed. " She tricked me! I knew I wasn't cut out for fighting... Tch, now I need to clean this up..."

Suddenly, a strange man appeared beside the boy. He was wearing gold and dark blue and showing some of the Infinity stones. He arrived along with his companions and saw what happened. Kai Yote in her humanoid form stood beside Loki as they saw the Mad Titan stepped into the forest.

" Thanos! " Loki grew his eyes in fear as the Lykonian stood in front to defend him.

" YOU DESTROYER! " Kai Yote angrily hissed and growled.

" They're all yours, Thanos... Although I can't exactly stop time anymore so don't expect anymore favors related to that." the boy sighed.

" Young man, I need you in my missions." the purple man grinned. " We will conquer this planet together and weaken our enemies! "

" Aye, you said you want the Wolves Den to serve you, you paid the price, now we're your humble mercenaries. Boss man is stil-" an explosion erupted back to where Loki originally was 

"Busy..."

" Perfect, you'll join with my comrades. For the mean time, I shall summon another creatures out of this planet to drive out our enemies.

" Lord Thanos, " the voice of Rhaeyar Kataclys called out from behind. The white-haired dragon mutant was followed by two men wearing white military uniform fatigues and kevlar vests with a black cross on the front of each vest. They also have Stahlhelms with Imperial eagles imprinted on each one's forehead. Then another blue-skinned woman dressed in black and white jumpsuit held a golden spear as she signaled the strange Lunivian men and a rabbit woman into the forest. Thanos was pleased to see his followers gathered along with the other soldiers.

" My friends, it's time to give these fools what they deserve! " he turned to Rhaeyar and pointed at Loki. " Especially that Traitor! "

" Yes, my lord, " the white-haired mutant grinned and turned to Asgardian. " Why would I forget about him? He left us back in Titan. This time, he will get his part! "

Loki was gulping in fear when he became agitated and relentlessly turned his head in sideways. He remembered the day when he was disatisfied in working with them. He wanted to flee as soon as he could. Kai Yote angrily growled at Rhaeyar and Thanos as they ignored her. Then, an alien woman from the Black Order approached them.

" My lord, we found a Kree man fighting in the other side of the forest. " Proxima Midnight said as her other companions were waiting for the Mad Titan's orders.

" Should we summon again the Behni giants to distract them and pursue a further invasion?" Rhaeyar curiously asked.

" Yes, of course! " The mad Titan used the space stone from the gauntlet as the giant red-skinned aliens appeared from the light. They became more gruesome than the ones in France, Wakanda, and Remnant. Everyone's attention was caught by the loud sound of something being dragged through the leaves and the falling trees created by the Behnis. Rhaeyar and the others were pleased to see the monsters. The tremendous earth-shaking was noticed by all of them when the Behni giants were walking away.

" Impressive, I can't wait what will they do next!" Rhaeyar smirked after he kept seeing the giant aliens moving out of the forest. " Anyway, I have my soldiers patrolling the area."

" I'm joining with him. " Proxima said.

" Good! I'll watch the giants pulverizing the Earthians! " Thanos nodded. " Rhaeyar, Proxima, deal with that traitor and the Lykonian, first! "

" Yes, my lord, " the two bowed in unison.

" This is not good! " Loki said.

" Let's get out of here! " Kai Yote replied as she grabbed the dark-haired Asgardian's hands and quickly fled away from the infiltators while they were busy talking.

" Making sure no more undesirables are lurking around except the Behni. You know how ordinary humans can get, especially with their tourist behaviors." Rhaeyar turned to blue alien woman.

" You speak highly, Kataclys. The people of the Black Order has been handling weaker lifeforms across the universe for a long time, thanks to my husband, " Proxima Midnight shrugged. " Can your soldiers really tackle any humans and other creatures living in your planet? "

" Careful Proxima, the soldiers of the First Night are not to be meddled with." he smirked and watched the soldiers rushing up to Loki and Kai Yote, aiming rifles at their heads. Again, the Lykonian woman sensed danger and turned to the soldiers. She transformed into a Frost Giant and distracted the soldiers. The troopers kept aiming, but she quickly grabbed and dragged them away. On the other hand, a soldier instantly handcuffed the Asgardian mischief god and grinned. Kai Yote turned behind as she saw her lover was caught.

" LOKI!!! " she cried.

" NO, LEAVE ME ALONE! " Loki yelled at the soldier named Aberin who kicked him straight in the jaw.

" Silence you coward! " Aberin indignantly replied and stared at Asgardian. Kai Yote immediately approached Aberin as he got frightened in seeing the Lykonian shape-shifter as a Frost Giant. Proxima Midnight defended the soldier and threatened Kai Yote using her spear. Kai Yote growled in anger as she dared her enemies to fight.

" Go ahead, daughter of Heimdall! If you attack this Earthian warrior, I will put an end to your lover into pieces!" Proxima sternly said and pointed her spear at the Lykonian.

" Kai Yote, run and don't look back! " Loki warned as he was being captured by Aberin.

Kai Yote sneered at the alien woman and the soldier as she went away. The Lykonian transformed into her real Canid form when tears welling up on her eyes. She felt guilty which she could not save her lover in distress. Proxima Midnight smirked at the captured one as she crosses her arms.

" Madam Midnight, " Aberin called the lady extraterrestrial's attention. " Thank you for saving me from that shape-shifter. "

" Let her suffer from the consequences, " she grinned. " Perhaps, we should take the god of mischief where no one could find him. "

" Good idea, madam! His only daughter is waiting for him in Jotunheim for a reunion! "

On the other side of the forest, the Kree man Gabriel Nebula kept fighting the explosive one. Suddenly, he was being interrupted by a rabbit looking woman with some strange Lunivian men. The top hat man slowly moved his head in looking at them. The rabbit woman was loudly laughing at Gabriel as she sounded like a schizophrenic patient. The strange pale-skinned men were prepared to slay the blue-skinned man using their magic.

" The mad Sons of Mil Hasenoq! " Gabriel mumbled.

" Well, well, well, More lambs to the slaughter?" the man with the top hat smirked and crossed his arms.

" No! " the Lunivian man laughed and grinned. " We are looking for more victims to be slaughtered! "

" We're on your side, top hat man! " the other Lunivian sorcerer added.

" My name is Bakudan! Get it right! "

" The name's White Rabbit! " the woman introduced. " We'll give the Kree huntsman's reward. "

" You fools! " the Kree angrily gritted his teeth and clenched his right fist.

" Want him dead or alive!? I can do both! "

" Yeah, that's much better if we let him die, " White Rabbit nodded. " But let's wait for the great boss's signal, first."

Suddenly, the mindless giants walked everywhere and burned the trees as the black smoke was present on the sky at dawn. The Lunivian men, Bakudan, and White Rabbit surrounded the Kree man when they were ready to capture him.

" That's Thanos' signal! We'll feed the blue man to those monsters! " White Rabbit assumed as she pointed at the smoke.

" Let the Behni giants do their job! " a male voice said and called the other's attention when they saw the suited white haired man. " Lord Thanos asked me to deal with this blue guy from space."

Suddenly, the men with white uniform fatigues bearing white kevlar vests appeared and followed Rhaeyar Kataclys. The Red Stahlhelms
