I was stood on the large open deck at the front of the Jörmungandr, the Dragon riders were there as well along with their dragons, and they would not want to miss this. I activated the com-link on my wrist and spoke into it.

“Shields up” I said, the clear domes materialised.

“What are those for?” Hiccup asked nervously.

“There’s no air in space” Scar said “if we went into space without activating the shields we would suffocate, freeze and explode from the lack of pressure”

“Like Fishlegs could get any bigger” Snotlout quipped.

“Alright, Captain” I said “take us up”

“How exactly are we getting up there?” Hiccup asked.

“Let’s just say you’ll want to hold on to the railing” I said, at that moment I felt the familiar feeling of the teleportation spell and our ship reappeared in orbit. I calmly stood as still as possible, the others didn’t quite get the message.

“Great Odin’s ghost!” Astrid exclaimed, holding onto the railing as she floated upside down, the dragons were panicking as well. After a few moments the artificial gravity engaged and they all fell to the deck.

“Couldn’t you do that before we…?” Fishlegs trailed off when he saw what was outside.

“Thor almighty!” Gobber exclaimed.

“Ladies and gentlemen” I said “welcome to outer space”

“How on earth…?” Valka said.

“You aren’t on earth” I said, before pointing to the closest planet, it looked like modern day earth with all of the cities lit up “that right there is our next destination. I’ll warn you, it may be another Earth, but it’s from the future, and dragons don’t exist there, so I would advise taking your dragons for a joyride” I looked specifically at Snotlout, Ruffnut and Tuffnut as I said this.

“Aww, you’re no fun” Ruffnut said, I then noticed the covenant cruisers, in orbit around a desolate planet

“What are they up to?” I muttered.

“Who are they?” Hiccup asked.

“Bad news” I said “they are part of a religious sect, called the Covenant, made up of several different alien species, they are a bigger threat than Teridax”

“What do we do?” Astrid asked.

“We don’t provoke them” I said “if you piss them off, they will reduce your planet to a cinder, I’ve already talked to them once, so they know not to attack us, but I still don’t like the fact that they’re here” Toothless growled uneasily.

“Easy boy” Hiccup said, petting the Night Fury.

“Well, not that this isn’t a cheery conversation” Gobber said “but would you mind explaining what that thing is?” he pointed to a small yellow and blue spaceship that was flying alongside us as he said this and I teleported into the bridge.

“Captain” I said “have you tried to contact that ship yet?”

“Doing it now” he said “unidentified vessel, you are encroaching on our space”

“Sorry about that” a voice said “Think we could come aboard? We’re getting a little low on supplies” Blazewing looked at me and I nodded.

“Permission granted” Blazewing said, proceed to the open part of the hold. I teleported down to the hold and opened up the com-link.

“Guy’s, you better get down to the hold if you don’t want to miss out on the chance to meet some aliens” I said, soon all of the Neu-Toa were also in the hold. A part of the wall slid away and the spaceship flew in before landing, a walkway slid down and five individuals walked out. A human male, a green skinned woman, a really muscly grey and red skinned man, a walking tree and a large racoon that walked on its hind legs.

“Well isn’t this the welcome party” the human said “what are you, knights or something?”

“Toa, actually” I said “I’m Vuur Koning, the leader of this team”

“I think we’ve finally found a group that looks like a bigger bunch of idiots than us” the racoon said “I mean look at you, you look ridiculous, and did you let a child choose the colour scheme or something? You look like you came out of a paint factory”

“A lot of talk for a racoon” Minion said.

“Each of us controls a different element of nature, such as fire, or water, or sound” I said “that’s why we are different colours” the racoon snorted.

“Great” he said “we’re on a loony ship” I conjured a ball of fire into my hands and began playing around with it

“Are you sure about that?” I asked “Now, we can stand around here all day, or we can go somewhere better suited for introducing ourselves

---

We soon found ourselves in the dining hall, where I introduced the Toa to them.

“Okay” I said “now that you know who we are, why don’t you tell us who you are”

“The name’s Rocket” the racoon said.

“I am Groot” the tree said.

“Yeah, you’ve said that already” I said.

“It’s all he ever says” Rocket said

“You can call me Star-Lord” the human said

“Gamora” the green skinned woman said.

“Drax” the grey and red man said.

“And together” Star-Lord said, pausing briefly “we’re the Guardians of the Galaxy”

“Really?” I said, smirking “because you just look like a bunch of arseholes”

“Says the leader of the Rainbow Patrol” Rocket said.

“At least we can back up our claims” I said “all I see of you lot are a human…whatever the hell you two are, a racoon and a tree”

“Well” Rocket said “I guess we’ll just have to prove ourselves then”

“Funny you should say that” I said “because we’re actually looking for a little help”

“What do you mean?” Star-Lord asked.

“A being called Makuta Teridax is the reason behind the planets all appearing out of nowhere” I said “he plans to find like-minded individuals to help him conquer the whole of reality, think you’re up for helping us?” they all looked at each other before nodding.

“Screw it, I don’t have that long a lifespan anyway” Rocket said “yeah, we’ll help you”

---

We soon reached the planet and entered the atmosphere over North America and landed in a forest near New York

“Yes!” I said, standing in a clearing “we’re finally home”

“What is he talking about?” Rocket asked Minion.

“We were ripped from our home world some time ago” Minion said “it’s been 4 years for him”

“Well I haven’t been back to earth for twenty years” Star-Lord said.

“I don’t really care” I said “all I care about is that we’ve found our earth. Tomorrow, I taking this ship straight to the U.K. as for now, I’m gonna go flying” I then adapted my armour for flight mode and shot up into the sky. I’ve always wanted to visit New York.

“Jörmungandr?” I said, a picture displaying the ship’s magical construct popped up.

“Yes sir?” the construct asked.

“Which way is New York City from here?” I asked.

“Uh, sir, I don’t think it would be advisable to…”

“There are planets in the sky” I said “I won’t be the strangest thing they’ve seen”

“Plotting you a course now” he said, a map soon popped up on the screen with directions “estimated flight time, 20 minutes” I opened up the com-link

“Hey guys” I said “fancy going to New York for the day?” I was soon joined by my five Toa as well as Ruby, Garnet and Aurora and we set off for the city. We were near the city when Jörmungandr spoke up.

“Sir, there seems to be someone trying to contact you” he said “they are also approaching at quite a high velocity” I could see an object in the distance flying towards us.

“Guys, hold up” I said, we all landed in a clearing. The object soon turned out to be a man in red and gold armour “Okay, I don’t think this is our Earth”

“Alright” the man said “who exactly are you?”

“Who wants to know?” I asked.

“Tony Stark” he said “Perhaps you’ve heard of me”

“Definitely not our Earth” I muttered, before speaking up “we’re just travellers, and we don’t mean you any harm so just let us be on our way”

“Yeah” he said “not gonna happen, I’m gonna need you all to come with me” I burst out laughing.

“Hah, make us” I said, before turning to the others “scatter!” they didn’t need to be told twice and took off in different directions.

“That’s just cheating” Stark said.

“Tactical advantage” I shot back “sorry, but you have no idea what you’re dealing with” he looked around at the trees.

“Shakespeare in the park?” he asked “Doth your mother know you weareth her drapes?” he pointed to my cloak as he said this and I responded by getting out my sword, blasting him into a tree and taking off.

“That’s for dissing the cloak!” I shouted, before flying off towards New York City, I could see on the map that the others were headed that way as well “Okay, guys the objective is to not get caught”

“Got it” they all said, I heard the roar of rockets and looked behind me to see Stark approaching.

“Okay” I said “let’s see how you handle this” I activated my mask of speed and shot away, leave him in the dust, once I was with in the city I deactivated the mask and stood on the roof of an apartment block before activating a beacon for the other Toa to home in on, they soon arrived, as did Garnet, Ruby and Aurora.

“Right” Minion said “What’s the plan?”

“Just hold on a second” I said, watching Stark fly over and land in front of us, his faceplate lifted up.

“How the hell did you get away?” Stark asked “the speed you accelerated at should have killed you”

“That’s for me to know and for you to find out” I said “Why exactly do you want to take us in?”

“I’m willing to bet you have something to do with the planets in the sky” he said

“Yeah, but we didn’t cause this if that’s what you think” I said “we’re after they guy that did”

“Sorry, not buying it” he said, before putting his arms up in preparation to fire the boosters on his hands “once again I’ll ask you to come with me, peacefully”

“If you imprison us” I said “you put the whole of reality at risk. I’m not your enemy, Stark, but if you want to do the hard way, then we’ll do this the hard way” I then got out my weapons and the Toa followed my lead, the kids went behind us.

“Okay” Stark muttered “guys, I’m gonna need some help here” a few moments later a rather large man wielding a hammer impacted with the ground.

“Minion” I said “you’re the Norse-Pagan, you can deal with Thor”

“Gladly” he said, Thor threw his hammer at Minion, who brought up his sword, stopping Mjonir dead in its tracks “that worked…better than I’d…hoped” his voice was strained.

“How are you doing that?” Thor said “Only the worthy can lift Mjonir”

“Except…I’m not…lifting it, I’m trying…to stop it” he said, the hammer dropped “mighty Thor, we mean this earth no harm, we are guardians of our own world, just like you avengers are guardians of this world. We have come here in search of the being who caused this madness”

“What do you know of him?” Thor asked.

“He’s our sworn enemy” Minion said “He intends to find like-minded beings, people like your brother Loki, and unite them to conquer reality itself” Thor summoned Mjolnir before saying.
