For now, he will hear what the war council will discuss. Then, he would move. If necessary all alone. He will become the ghost once more if necessary. The Ghost of the Uchiha, the Ghost of Tsushima would stalk the battlefield once more.
"Gretta, everything will be alright." A steely look was in Loki's eyes as he stared into Gretta's eyes.
---------------------------------------------------------
Loki was making his way towards the war council. Each of his step had a purpose and a certain weight behind them. His entire body taunt. He had lived two lives completely filled with failures and disappointment. His actions had caused an untold amount of suffering as Obito. In the end, he had given in to despair and plunged the entire world into chaos. As Jin, he had failed to stop the invasion. Failed to save Taka, the body of countless people that he failed had lied in his wake. If he was just a little faster. His poison had been adopted by the mongols and they had used it against the people of Tsushima.
Sif had been hot on his heels the entire way. Watching him the entire way. A contemplative look in her eyes. They had reached the war room where the council had gathered to decide on a plan of action.
Sif had grabbed his hand to stop him. "Loki, there may be sacrifices. You can't save everyone. No one can save anyone."
Smack!
Loki had slapped her hand away. He glared her in the eye. "You who have limited yourself will never be able to save anyone. I may not be able to save everyone, but I will save as many as I can. Lady Sif". Each word had been said in a mocking tone. An annoyance she was proving to be.
Sif was about to say something back but held her tongue. She saw an incredible amount of determination and anger in the prince's eyes.
Loki turned around and entered the war room. Sif following behind him.
Loki greeted the occupants with a bow and took his position at Thor's side. In a moment Queen Frigga arrived and the discussion began.
"So councilman, what are our options."
"My lady, my men tried to breach the barrier but were unable to do so. We tried to dig under the barrier but it extend downwards to an uncertain degree. Physical force is not working."
At that she had turned towards one of her magical advisors as she had not seen the barrier yet.
"Can we breach it with magic." She had asked her.
The councilwoman had shaken her head. "We lack have the resources to breach the barrier. If asgard had more magicians, we would have been able to deactivate the barrier. With the amount of magicians within asgard, we cannot unravel the barrier in time."
Queen Frigga saw the look in each of the council's eyes and she realized only one option was left. Thor had also realized the only option remaining and had gone pale. Except Loki, everyone was looking down in shame. Loki alone was not aware of the weapon or its nature. She had wanted to shield Loki from knowledge of that weapon.
"We are left with using the Eyes of Rawaksha." Dread began to fill Frigga's heart.
"The Eyes of Rawaksha." Loki worded the statement in the form of a question.
Frigga was about to explain but she did not know how to explain it. Mercifully, Thor began to explain.
"A weapon which could wipe out everything including the very soul itself. Where it strikes, none may grow or be reborn. A weapon recovered by an expedition by Grandfather Bor Borison. It had been used once to eliminated a Demon God." Thor had explained, a dreaded look on his face.
"What about the people held captive inside. Would you forsake them?" Loki had demanded angrily.
"War demands sacrifices. The lives of a few versus the lives of many. We will not be able to hold back a demon host. Especially if a powerful demon is summoned." Frigga had said, trying to impress the fact to Loki that she is not taking this decision lightly. "There is no other way."
"There is always another way. If I would rather choose between a lesser evil and a greater evil, I would rather not choose at all. I shall forge my own path forward." Loki slammed his hand down on the table.
Smack!
Straightening himself, Loki had activated the seals tattooed on his body. The Clan Sakai armor that he had once wore came onto his body but coloured greed, a helmet with antlers on his head. A cape with red clouds similar to the akatsuki robes wrapped around him similar to those he had worn in his life as Obito. A menacing face mask looking like a demon snarling.
"I shall forge my own path forward." Loki had moved towards the door.
"Loki." Thor had shouted.
"Stop him." Frigga ordered.
Sif and Thor had leapt towards him. Both of them had gone through his body one after another. Loki had activated his mangekyou sharingan's ability Kamui. He could perform short distance teleportation or transport his entire body to another dimension. Preventing anyone from touching him, but he was effected by the same limitations. None of his strikes would land in such a state.
Seeing none of their attempts to restrain him had any effect on him. Thor and Sif gave up. A bunch of vines conjured by Frigga attempted to trap Loki but they could not touch him. They attempted to restrain him trying to curl around his body and yet he moved through them.
With his back still turned, he had said. "I told you before, you warriors can only kill. You will always lack the meaningful ability to save others. I am more then a warrior."
With those word, a black hole had opened up from his right eyes which sucked him in. Everyone present there had been shocked by these action.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
A black hole had opened up on one of the high buildings, Loki had stepped out of it. Surveying the location for a plan of attack.
Fortunately, for him there were only 20 cultists with one of them being the leader. Who was still gloating. The civilian asgardians seemed to be enthralled infront of him. Following the instructions of the cultists.
Most of the prisoners had been kept inside a building near near the square where a pentagon was drawn, in an attempt to sacrifice them. Forming a plan of action. Loki activated a few seals where he had stored some extra chakra. Kamui was an advanced jutsu which consumed nearly all of his chakra. Feeling that his chakra pool was full.
Loki had made his way downwards under the cover of darkness. Seeing a cultist near a window on the second floor, Loki made sure he was alone by trying to sense any other life signs near him.
Finding none, Loki had stabbed him and had proceeded to enter the building. Two guards were taking near the stairs. Loki threw a shuriken towards one of them, hitting him in the neck and killing him, the other one he slit the throat of. A hand over his mouth to prevent any screaming. Gently placing it down when the cultist became limp.
Making his way downwards, Loki saw 5 cultists guarding the prisoners. Throwing the smoke bomb, Loki killed two of them with his kunais enhanced with chakra. Taking out his Tanto. He slit the throats of one of the cultist, continuing on, he stabbed the other one on the neck and his tanto went up his head through the lower portion of the jaw. For the last one, putting chakra into his feet, he took out his katana and with a leap he severed his head.
The smoke cleared and Loki looked around, he saw most of the prisoners here but not Gretta's grand-daughter. Using Kamui, a Black hole opened up. That sucked all the asgardian prisoners into the same black space. Another tear opened up within the confines of the palace. A spiraling black hole appears from which all the civilians asgardians are ejected. From that spinning void Loki materialized.
As Obito, he only had access to one eye limiting the distance that can be traveled and increasing the amount of strain and chakra used. At the moment, he had both eyes. Enabling him to do so much more. His right eye allows him to teleport himself using kamui, the left eye allows him to teleport any thing at range using kamui. With both eyes he can create a Susanoo in it incomplete form. He is not aware of any other abilities he may have in the form of susanoo. In his previous life, he never had the opportunity to explore susanoo. To unlockthe complete susanoo, he would have to become a kage level shinobi.
"Medics take care of them now. They are under a trance." Loki ordered.
The healers began to work hard in order to take care of them.
Loki was approached by Frigga, Thor, Sif and Warrior Three.
"Loki my son, I am so proud of you. Of the person you have become." Frigga hugged her son. The court and the ambassadors present had bowed to him. Thor and his friends followed.
"What are your orders, my Prince."
"I could not find everyone. There are still a few people missing." Loki said.
Soon he looked at the broadcast and saw a few people being dragged out. Gretta's daughter among them. Loki gained a hardened look in his eyes.
"I am going back, be prepared to receive a few more injured and traumatized people." Loki had ordered.
"You are not going alone Loki. Let us help you. We can fight," Thor had called out. "Brother you have my hammer,"
"And my axe." Said Volstagg.
"You have my rapier and dashing looks to assist you," Fandral had said.
"And my mace." Hogun grunted out.
"And my sword." Sif said while drawing out her sword.
Loki smiled, they truly do love asgard.
But. "I am sorry brother, in the next battle. I can't look after you. In order to save everyone, I must act alone. The current you will only get in the way." Loki had said.
"Loki if you consider me your mother, you will stop right now." Frigga yelled out.
Loki activated his last seal to replenish his chakra. A blue aura came out of his body.
"Stop Loki." She had appeared in front of Loki using teleportation magic and had a hand gripping him. A sword drawn on his neck. Her eyes in tears. "Or else."
"Loki, you will accept help. I cannot afford to lose you."
