Disclaimer: I own nothing in this story. My Little Pony belongs to Hasbro. Thor, Loki, Odin, and Frigga belong to Marvel. I also don't own Thor and Loki's pony designs, they belong to lizzytheviking from Deviantart. I also don't own the song Duel of the Fates. I also don't own the nickname Sergeant Steel Hooves, it belongs to the writer of 'The Elements of Harmony and the Savior of Worlds'.

In the air, a few target got destroyed by lightning bolts. Two days have passed since the release of the soldiers as well as the capture of the Mane Six. Thor was getting better at learning the new powers thus far.

“You are doing well, Thor.” Odin smiled. “You are nearing the end of your training.”

“Yes, of course I am, father.” Thor nodded with a worried expression. “I am still worried. Is my training finished?”

“Hmmm…I believe that is the case. You are done; your new abilities…are slightly as powerful as your normal powers.”

“Good because I must get back! Loki must have done something horrible to Twilight and her friends!”

“If that was the case, we would have gotten word about it earlier.” Frigga said as she watched her son’s training. “But you are right, we must get there before it is too late.”

“Very well. We must fly quickly to Loki’s hideout.” Odin nodded, opening his wings. Frigga and Thor did the same and quickly flew off to the ruins.

It became nighttime at the ruins. Loki paced in the room where the Elements were once stored after the other members of his army left. Time has passed since some of his victories…but no pony deaths yet. Loki guessed that the ponies were possibly in hiding…but that wasn’t what was on his mind now.

“Hmm…I finally had got what I wanted; the soldiers are free, Twilight Sparkle and her friends are my prisoners, but why do I feel empty inside?” He mumbled as he noticed the destroyed picture of him and Thor as colts on the ground.

“It does not even matter…” Loki began stomping his hooves and destroying the photo again. “Why do you do this?” A voice asked in worry.

Loki yelped and stopped destroying the picture as he looked around where the voice came from. “Who is there? Where are you?” He questioned. “I am over here.” The voice called out.

Loki turned and saw a nearby mirror where the image of an alicorn stallion that looked EXACTLY like him was standing there: same green eyes, same black mane except it was short and not choppy, same gray coat, same cutie mark, and the same outfit.

“Why did you terrorize the three main towns of Equestria, kidnapped foals and ponies, and you want to kill your own brother with your army?!” The pony in the mirror demanded with a saddened expression.

“WE did it! I want to kill him because he is not my brother, he never was!” Loki snapped angrily. “I must not listen! You are a monster!” The lookalike in the mirror yelled while he was on the verge of tears.

“I do not care! He never loved me and I was only in the shade of his greatness, knowing that I should be king!” Loki snarled.

“What are you going on about? He’s our brother and you should care for him! Stop going on with these rants on being king and wanting to kill your enemies, so Equestria would kneel before you!” The other Alicorn commanded as tears came out of his eyes.

“We shall never stop until our enemies are dead at our hooves!” Loki yelled. “I do not think our brother will ever forgive you for your actions.” The pony in the mirror winced.

“SHUT IT! My brother never loved me! I am only the son of a monster that parents tell their foals about at night which no longer exists in reality!” Loki growled, firing a spell at the mirror which made the other pony vanish, leaving the villain with only his reflection in the mirror.

He could sense somepony in the room right now, one of the members of his army that he forgot to tell his evil plan about.

“My, my, it seems that Loki has quite the temper when he unleashes it…” Discord mused. “Looking for your award, I assume?” Loki asked as he entered the scene. “Why yes I am, actually. Now that you mentioned it, can I have it?” Discord responded casually.

“I told the others that they do not get their awards until Thor is killed. The same goes to you.” Loki explained, staring at Discord.

“WHAT?!” Discord shouted in anger and shock. “I don’t get my award until you kill your brother?!”

“I am actually going to fight him to the death when he arrives here and THEN kill him.” Loki responded calmly.

“Huh…I actually like this plan, it’s sounds chaotic. I LOVE IT! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!” Discord commented. “Gilda came up with the plan herself and mentioned it to me.” Loki smirked.

“But what are you exactly? Besides being a god and the son of an Ice Pony?” Discord asked in curiosity. “I am Equestria’s Reckoning…” Loki smiled evilly.

“I kinda like that term, it sounds so dark!” Discord grinned insanely.

“Why, thank you.” Loki smirked. “I am glad that you enjoy our evil plan…it is time for the dawn of a new age, Discord. I, Loki, son of Laufey and the Bringer to the End of All Pony Civilization!”

“BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!” The two villains cackled.

Shining Armor glanced at the gates of the ruins. He hadn’t been here before; the captain wished that himself when the Main Six defeated Nightmare Moon.

Turning to Spike, the unicorn said, “So, this must be the place…”

“Most likely. Inside that place, I don’t know where, are Twilight and her friends. We can only hope that Loki is distracted long enough for Private Katoptris’s rescue party, wherever they are, to get them out.” Spike shrugged.

“Then, let’s do this! From what I’ve been told, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, along with their guards, are keeping the soldiers from causing trouble. We don’t know how much longer before Loki decides to bring them back to face us. Sargent Steel Hooves, we’re ready when you are.”

“Steel Hooves?”

“Eeyup, that would be me!” Big Macintosh exclaimed sternly as he bucked down the gates which caused them to open. “Wait a minute, you have military connections?!” Spike asked in amazement.

“Eeyup! Sargent Macintosh of the Royal Guards’ First Rank Regiment! Retired when the flood of Ponyville happened that took…that took…”

“It’s ok, Big Mac, we know how important your parents are to you.” Shining Armor reassured, calming down the saddened stallion over the loss of his, Applejack, and Apple Bloom’s parents during the flood that took their lives while the group entered the ruins. “Loki, come out and prepare yourself to face justice!”

“Oh please! You sound like you are going to arrest me!” A familiar voice taunted as Loki appeared. “But you cannot! I am in charge of Equestria now and for that, it is treason!”

“You don’t have control of Equestria! Not as long as we still have hope. Now, we demand you to release Twilight, her friends, the fillies, and the Elements!” Spike snapped.

“Sorry, I am in no mood to accept requests today. I already told Discord about my new evil plan and I have not heard from General Shield Strike and his soldiers yet. No matter, I shall tell them when they arrive.”

“Now see here! Ya have no right to be doin’ what you’re doin’: terrorizin’ everypony and all!” Big Macintosh exclaimed angrily. “Oh, it is you again…” Loki groaned in annoyance.

“Watch it! Big Macintosh is also Sargent Macintosh of the Royal Guards’ First Rank Regiment AKA Sargent Steel Hooves!” Shining Armor snapped. “Show him some respect!”

“Bah! It does not matter! You should not have bothered to come after seeing what I did to Twilight Sparkle and her friends!”

“Oh, I saw what you did alright…and you’re a liar!” Spike yelled in anger. “Of course I am, I am the God of Lies and Mischief!” Loki scoffed.

“Look, Twilight never fails when it comes to the kingdom or her friends in danger! And believe me; she gets pretty stressed when she believes that she’ll fail everypony.”

“Well, I…”

“Shut up and let me finish!” Spike yelled to Loki, making the Alicorn growl. “And nopony blames Twilight for what happened that day! Did she kill her old friend? No! You did! And Twilight didn’t leave Dinky to die, she told her to run and it was too late for Twilight to save her. And while Twilight has gone through a few troubles in the past, I say she did well in protecting all of Equestria and her friends! You’re nothing more than an insane Alicorn who tells lies because you believe that you’re doing the right thing!”

“Whatever happens or not, she shall face judgment soon!” Loki retorted angrily. “Enough of this! Give up my sisters, their friends, and the Elements now!” Big Macintosh demanded angrily.

“If you truly are desperate to get them back, you must fight me!”

“Then, we’ll do so! Guards, stay back! Spike, Sargent Steel Hooves, and I will handle this! Don’t interfere like you have no choice.” Shining Armor commanded to his troops.

The song ‘Duel of the Fates’ from Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace began playing as the fighters got into their action poses. “Have at thee!” Loki smiled insanely.

He jumped at the three who dodged his attacks. The villain fired a few spells which they dodged or attacked back. Loki then jumped to a wall and landed on top, glaring. Spike and Shining Armor jumped and ran on the wall. Loki growled as he flew off the wall and lunged at the two who quickly dodged the attack, fighting in midair until they landed.

The evil alicorn bucked Shining Armor, sending him to the ground. Spike yelped as he dodged Loki’s second buck, jumping away a few times…only to bump into his enemy who appeared behind him, taunting, “Hello.”

“Goodbye!” Big Macintosh shouted, head butting Loki and grabbing him by the tail which caused him to fall to the ground while he tried to get up and Big Macintosh whacked him with his hooves. “That’s why I got the nickname Steel Hooves.”

“And this is why I do not care!” Loki snarled as he slashed Big Macintosh with his hooves and made the stallion yelp and back off. “Well, looks like the fight continues here…” Shining Armor mumbled.

“We gotta keep this up until Private Katoptris can get Twilight and her friends and the fillies out of here. Until then, we gotta keep fighting!” Spike told Shining Armor.
