Chapter 2: Ziker's discipline 1/2.


(General P.O.V)

"Stand down? I'm the King here! No one tells me what to do! Bring me their heads!"

King Laufey ordered. His Frost giants sprung forward, ice forming on their weapons as they attacked.

"Come at thee! If you dare!"

Thor roared, rushing ahead of his group to meet the enemy alone.

The clash was momentous, and a single swing of Mjolnir sent all of Laufey's Royal Guards flying back, raining around the king in a haphazard mess.

'Maybe I won't have to get involved.'

Ziker thought from the side. But that would mean giving up Ryujin Jakka's Shikai. In that case, he needed a reason to get involved.

"What are you lot doing? Get up and fight!"

Laufey roared.

Jeffery groaned in pain as he and the other Guards stood.

"Bloody hammer...hits like a Behemoth."

The Frost Giant muttered, rubbing the cracks on his Ice armor.

From that first clash, it was evident they were outmatched.

'If we had his help...maybe we'd stand a chance.'

Jeffery thought, throwing a glance at the silent Ziker.

'Though I highly doubt the King will ask for his assistance. Which means we're going to get our frozen butts kicked in, aren't we?'

"My liege, I suggest we call for Reinforcements. The Asgardians are too powerful. My liege?"

Jeffery suggested, turning around to find Laufey tearing into a chunk of meat in a mix of frustration and gluttony.

The very thing that had started this whole thing in the first place.

The dripping oil flowing down the King's chin, had Jeffery and every other Frost Giant looking on in envy.

'B-but that's my lunch.'

Jeffery got depressed.

"Hahahaha! Laufey! Is that all you got? Weaklings?"

Thor mocked.

"Nyam-Nyam...Damn you...Nyam...Son of Odin! You have me stress eating! Jeffery...Nyam-Nya! Blow the damn horn!!"

Laufey yelled, levelling the now meat-stripped bone at Thor.

"My Frost army will trample on your companions, my helions strip your flesh from the shattered bones, and my Queen and I will quench our thirst on your blood, Godling!"

Despite his bitter grudge, Jeffery complied, bringing an ornate ebony horn to his mouth with the intention of summoning backup.

"Bring it on! More weaklings to taste my Hammer!"

Thor hollered.

"Brother, don't be stupid! If they blow that horn, we'll be swarmed by every Frost Giant in the Realm! None of us will survive!"

An exasperated Loki informed him.

"Oh."

Thor was a brute, yes, but he was by no means dumb. Even at his full power, Odin couldn't take on an entire world. Thor was nowhere near his father.

"Worry not Loki! I shall destroy the Giant before that!"

With a swing of his Hammer, he ascended to the sky, the clouds above him rumbling with divine lightning.

Covered in streaks of blue charge, The God of Thunder came down on Jeffery with the force of a meteor.

"Begone!"

The Giant's eyes went wide with terror,

"Holy Fu-"

KRakaTHOOMM!!

The air rippled with a shockwave as Mjolnir impacted something hard and heavy, halting Thor's descent in midair.

"Let's not get hasty."

Ziker was suddenly there, having unleashed a shunpo to intercept the God's blow and save Jeffery.

"Wha-?"

Thor's face was the picture of shock.

Exerting a little strength, Ziker sent him flying back.

"T-thank you, Ziker! You saved me!!!"

Jeffery bowed profusely, forehead hitting the ground. Still in shock at how close he'd come to dying.

"It's fine, big guy. Bring me 179 guests to the grill and I'll consider us even."

Ziker said.

"I will! I will!"

Jeffery stumbled away.

"Tmpossible! How did you deflect Mjolnir?"

Thor remarked. His hand trembling with soreness while holding the now smoking Hammer.

He wasn't the only one stunned.

"I've never seen anyone take the Hammer head on and live to tell the tale."

Fandral muttered.

"Yes. Usually it just crushes anyone stupid enough to try."

Volstagg echoed.

Loki's green eyes narrowed at the cane in Ziker's hands.

'That weapon...its not normal.'

On the Frost Giant's side, Laufey leaned closer to Jeffery and whispered,

"Hey, Jeff. I thought you said this guy was a cook?"

"He is, My Liege...But I've seen him take down a full nest of Frost Yetis too."

What Jeffery didn't say, was Ziker had done so with his bare hands.

For context, Jotunheim Yetis were known for their physical strength- stronger than even Frost Giants. And a nest was made up of thousands of them.

"Who the fuck is this guy?"

Laufey followed up.

Standing between the two groups, Ziker lowered Ryujin Jakka.

His yellow eyes fell on the Asgardian Prince briefly. Ignoring him, they swept across the Warrior's Three, Loki, to finally land on Lady Sif.

A glow of interest appeared in them.

"What is your name, Warrior?"

Ziker asked, his deep voice rumbling out softly.

Conscious of the attention, she overcame her surprise and met his gaze head on.

"Sif."

"Asgardian Women are truly beautiful. But your strength makes you even more so, Lady Sif. My name is Ziker."

He bowed his head in greeting.

"It's a pleasure to meet you."

Ziker had undeniable charm. Coupled with his handsome face and large build, Sif felt her cheeks heat up.

"I'm flattered. It's a pleasure to meet you as well, Ziker."

She responded, eliciting a smile from him.

But it faded when Thor interrupted the moment by pulling Sif behind him, pointing his Hammer at Ziker.

"You possess a glib tongue friend. However, if you wish to stand with Laufey then I shall burn it off with my Lightning."

The God warned, eyes sparking an electric blue and the air buzzing with his power.

Unknowingly, Thor had just annoyed Ziker. The latter thus decided to make their disciplining harsher.

"I fight for no one but my peace, Prince of Asgard. Your quarrel with the Frost Giants is of no concern to me. Take it elsewhere or I'll make you."

Ziker replied, unleashing 1% of his spiritual pressure, just enough to overwhelm Thor's divine presence and snuff it out.

"You're strong."

Thor grinned, unbowed. Unafraid. Eager.

"Oh no..."

Loki sighed.

"Hahahaha. Thor has become excited."

Volstagg laughed.

"I foresee trouble in the near future."

Fandral gripped his rapier tighter.

"Nh."

Hogun agreed.

Sif remained silent, her eyes studying Ziker's large frame.

'He must be a beast in bed...'

"It's been long since I faced a worthy opponent. Prepare yourself Man of mystery. We shall fight!"

Thor's declaration was followed up by Mjolnir sailing towards Ziker.

'I'm glad he didn't take the warning. Let's see how I measure up against a God.'

Ziker thought.

Ryujin Jakka slashed out, slapping away the Hammer, which promptly blew away a hill to their North.

"Grraargh!"

The frozen ground crumbled under Thor's might fist, missing Ziker who Flash Stepped away, to the top of a boulder.

"Fighting me is a bad idea. You might die, Son of Odin. And then I'll reap your soul."

Ziker teased down.

"Worry about yourself, Mortal! I am a God!"

Thor yelled, destroying the huge rock, only to balk at the sight of Ziker standing in midair.

Ziker slashed down with Ryujin Jakka, sending a wave of air that blew against the Asgardian, who struggled to keep standing, cape and hair billowing in the wind.

Another Shunpo and the Soul Reaper was in front of him.

"An immature God."

Ziker stated, flicking his forehead.

"Aarggh!"

Frustrated, Thor attacked, his fists a blur to the naked eye.

But Ziker evaded the slow swings as easy as breathing, bending and strafing across the frozen wasteland like a paper in a breeze. Speedwise he outmatched the Asgardian so much it wasn't funny.

"With a Hammer!"

Thor shouted, just as Mjolnir flew around targeting Ziker's back, while he attacked from the front.

"You can dodge one of us, but not both!"

BTOOM!

"I don't need to dodge."

Mjolnir was forcefully stopped by his palm while Ryujin Jakka blocked Thor's fist without moving an inch.

Ziker smirked at the stunned expression Thor wore.

"Nice Hammer by the way."

Ziker flipped it up to grab the handle. And without fanfare, smacked Thor on the side of his face with Mjolnir.

The God of Lightning bowled over Fandral and Volstagg- the three of them ending up in a heap.

'Very nice hammer, has an equal weight distribution. Perfect for forging and caving in heads. surprised I can even lift it. Why is that?'

Ziker wondered, studying the divine weapon in interest. He could sense a power within the gray metal. A consciousness.

Ryujin Jakka started heating up in his other hand the longer he held Mjolnir.

'Someone's Jealous.'

Ziker thought in amusement and dropped the Hammer.

"Wonderful! Well done Cook."

Laufey clapped, walking up to him from the back. The Frost Giant's enormous size cast a shadow on the shorter Ziker.

"Bring me their heads and I shall make you a vassal."

"Not interested."

Ziker instantly shot him down, blurring forward to meet The Warrior's 3 and Loki, who had decided to come to Thor's aid.
