Horsegard

In the golden observatory of Horsegard, a brown pegasus in a golden armour stood, with his sword stuck in the summon hole. It was this sword, which opened the Bifrost. Only it and Odin's spear had this ability. Nopony else could open the Bifrost. The pony was Heimdal.

Heimdal's eyes see everything anywhere in this dimension, no matter in which of the 9 realms. His eyes even see the distant realm of Equestria. So it wasn't trouble for the gatekeeper of Horsegard to see and hear Thor and Sif and open the Bifrost, the Rainbow bridge, that allowed the gods of Horsegard to travel to each of the other 8 realms in this dimension. To travel in other dimensions, however, they needed the Tesseract. The last time they saw it was before Loky left Horsegard with a plan to take over the dimension of New Equestria. He must of failed, after he returned here with it. It wasn't going to be a warm welcome in Horsegard. Almost everypony thought Loky for the greatest enemy of Horsegard.

But this obviously wasn't true, because now Thor was protecting him, and he'd never do this if he had no reason. So Heimdal didn't pounce at Loky and cut him to pieces, after the sword went out of the hole and levitated back to him. Instead, he jumped at an unknown pony, who resembled the one, who was the reason the Allfather was worried.

" Hase! " Twilight was worried about the bleeding wound, that Heimdal had opened in the shoulder of the pegasus.

" Argh! " his mane shone in bright red. He was angry.

" Surrender, Vortex. Your plan is insane. " the brown pegasus spoke calm. Heimdal was never reckless.

" Heimdal, that isn't Vortex, it's Hase, my friend and a friend of Horsegard too. " Thor spoke and stopped Heimdal from attacking for the second time.

" Arya OK ? " Applejack asked.

The stalion smiled. This wound would of been nothing for the Extremis to heal. But, strange, he couldn't revert to his earth pony form. What the hay happened here? it turned out, that twilight knew the answer:

" The Princesses said, that a Chaotic would lose all of his other powers, that he got after he was born, after he uses the power of the Void. "

" Does that mean... "

" You can't heal or throw fireballs, or breathe fire. " Wanda finished his profound " Luckily, we don't need it so much. "

' I do. ' Hase thought. This wound was bleeding as hay. Aches got through his whole body and he remembered what it feels like to be wounded again.

" Take him to the healing room! " Sif commanded to the guards, that stood on both sides of the door. They grabbed hase, put him on their backs and walked to the Hornburg.

Twilight had no words . This world... it was amazing!  The observatory was made out of pure gold, as all buildings in Horsegard. It had the form of a sphere with a beak in it's end, that faced space. The sky... amazing. Sunset, clouds and stars over them. A multicoloured pathway, that changed in a different colour under the hooves of the different ponies, led to " the Hornburg " as Thor said. This was the stronghold of Horsegard and the alicorn mare had enough time to look at it while they were slowly getting away from the  teleportation room and coming closer to the golden miracle. It looked like thousands of golden horns were brought togehter and formed a castle, which was beautiful.

" It's not made for the eyes of the mortals. " Sif murmuled, after she saw Twilight staring at the Hornburg.

" Well, good. Because we aren't mortals. " Pony replied

Sif looked confused. Thor had to tell her the whole story:  from how he found them near the lair of the two lords ( hellios and Dusk silencely laughed) of Light and darkness, untill how they found out the origins of his friend, who was currently in the healing room.

" That's an interesting story. " the lady warrior noted, after she had heard it all " It kind of explains your colourful gang. And why Heimdal thought your friend for Vortex. "

" But why is father bringing me back ? " Thor wondered

" You'll have to ask him for the details. I said you everything I know.  " Sif replied

" Hey, what happened with " thou arst foul " ? " Pinkie remembered, that when they first met them, Thor spoke with the Royal Canterlot Voice. And now neither he, neither Sif spoke like that. It was confusing.

" Don't wonder, Ms. Pie. As myself, Sif had been sent many times to Midgard... "

" Midgard? " Pinkie had never heard of it. Was it a kind of cake? Maybe a smoothie?

" Midgard is how we call your world.  " Sif ended her hopes of Midgard being something to eat.

They were now in front of the huge gates of the Hornburg. Two guards stood on each side. When they saw Thor and Sif coming, they yelled:

" Welcome, Thor Odinson! " and opened the gates.

This hall... was mindblowingly big. 10, 20 or perhaps even 25 trees like the Golden Oak library could easily fit in. The hall was full. When they saw Thor, the ponies greated him with triumphant yelling. In reply he lifted his hammer and Sif lifted her sword. Loky was surrounded by Applejack and the rest of the Mane 6, so he hid succesfully.

Finally, they reached a throne in the end of the room. A pony with a helmet, that resembled Loky's, stood on it. But unlike Loky's armour, which was in bronze colour, and the one of Thor, which had silver colour, this armour was golden. There was also a golden eyepatch on his right eye. And... was that Loky's spear? The one he lost after the commercials, when fighting Landrock? It surely looked the same. And when he hit the floor with it, the hall went silent. Apparently that was Odin.

" Thor. " he spoke " Odinson.

You have spent enough years from your exile in the dimension I sent you to, but you even chose to continue your exile in another one for more than a year. It appears, that you now have new friends, new allies. From now on, they should also be the allies of Horsegard! "

The ponies yelled again and triumphed. But only untill Loky appeared. the hall went silent again, Odin stood up from the throne. some of the guards even got their swords out. Loky spoke:

" Father, I have made a mistake. My new friends... " he turned to Pinkie, who smiled in response. " ... your new allies, had thought me what's right and what's wrong. So now I give away what I've stolen. " he let the Tesseract on the floor and hid behind Pinkie again.

Now Odin smiled.

" I am glad, that you have finally learned your lesson, tough not from me. We welcome you back among us, Loky. "

That's what Loky craved to hear. He was a real Horsegardian again. The ponies triumphed and he lifted his scepter in the air.

But suddenly all the guards took a battle stance. Twilight soon knew why did they do that. A small portal, who emitted dark lightnings in all direction, had open in front of the group. it's inside was completely dark. Something got out of it and it closed. It was Hase, of course.

" Those guards are amateurs. " he said. But when he heard the sound of swords, he raised his head and saw where he was. It was awkward.

' Darn it. Wrong room. ' he thought.

' I thought you couldn't control your powers. ' he heard Emma in his head. She had connected them all together, so that they could think together how to react, without the ponies hearing them.

' After I did it for the first time by instinct, now I can. But I've misread the map. ' he replied.

' Are you insane? ' he heard Wanda yell in his mind. He had to do something. Quickly. So he bowed down and spoke:

" Your highness, forgive me for being late, but your guards didn't let me leave the healing room, altough I am completely alright. My name is Hase, your highness, son of Vortex. "

This would of worked, if he hadn't said the last three words. The ponies started whispered and disscusing, untill Odin hit the floor with the spear again.

" We welcome you, Hase Vortexson. As we've learnt from my son, you are the one, who brought this group togehter. So you would also be our ally. "

This was obviously the end. The ponies went away and the hall was suddenly empty. Only Odin and the group remained.

" So father, what's our mission? " Thor asked

" As you know, there are many dimensions. In some of them there is a realm, that keeps the other realms from falling, because there should be a balance: there shouldn't be two realms with a single ruler. There shouldn't be slavery. And the realms of Horsegard in the different dimensions make sure this never happens. But in Pre- Equestria, once Horsegard fell. There was complete chaos.  It rose again. But the skilled spellcasters of the ruler swordspony, called Sabredance, blocked the Horsegardians' access to their Midgard. And now the peaceful land is under his tyranic rule. That should end, because sooner or later,  he'll be able to rule the whole dimension. They've stopped him twice, but now... " he turned to Hase " ... he is reinforced by your father. Trying to make allies in case the princesses try to turn him to statue like the last time, he gave some of the wizards chaotic powers. Of course, Sabredance abandoned him after getting what he wanted. And altough your father is strong, he won't be enough. he and the other Horsegardians need you! So go! " the ruler of Horsegard commanded.

The group stood in circle. Thor and Loky put the Tesseract in some weird device. They grabbed a handle from each side and turned them around. the group turned to blue light and went up.

" And good luck. " Odin spoke. Next Chapter: Alliance Estimated time remaining: 2 Hours, 3 Minutes
