[Alex Walker POV - Hel's realm]

After selecting the golems I thought best for this mission, I mobilized them to where the battle was raging.

Three support-based golems, five tank-based golems, and four attack-based support golems, I had handpicked them, around my roster of Golem, with them being the best of each category particularly.

As for what Golem I would connect to see and talk, well, I decided to connect to a supporting one that had the passive ability of resurrecting after death twice, why had I picked a support golem to be my main, well, it was as to be more focused on controlling them, than in the battle itself.

I didn't have the luxury of fighting and controlling units at the same time.

"I will position the golems to engage Hela at a distance," I said to Sif, who was currently by my side, commanding twenty golems.

"Understood, I will join them right now, to offer as much support as possible," Sif nodded.

"Don't be a hero," I said, putting the massive hand of my support golem on her shoulder, "In ten minutes I'll be free from this world, so try not to give me a scare until then," I tried to chuckle to alleviate the situation, but found myself unable to do so.

"Don't worry," Sif smiled, putting her hand over the Golem's hand in a reassuring gesture, "I'm not you, so don't worry, in this relationship, you are the crazy one." 

I laughed, she had a point, "Very well, but still, take care," I repeated.

"I promise," Sif nodded, kissing the golem's hand before rushing into battle with her small group of Golems to assist, Thor, Bucky, and The Ancient One in their battle with Hela.

Seeing her go, I slapped my real face back into the focus, before starting to position the Golems in the positions I wanted them to be for this battle, in short, my golems would make a pentagram formation, attacking and healing from afar as I kept tabs on Hela's moves on from a close point of view.

As for my tanking Golems, they would dive into the battle soaking as much damage as possible.

Their mission was basically keeping my friends alive for the next ten minutes.

After that, I would personally kick her ass if she was still alive by then.

{She keeps healing, just like you Alex,} Bucky said through the chat.

{I think to kill you either have to destroy her entire body at once or destroy Asgard,} I replied while checking on the map how my Golems were doing, positioning-wise.

{Why would destroying Asgard kill her?!} Thor asked, sounding scared at the prospect of his home planet being blown away.

{I can answer that,} The Ancient One sighed, {You both have the power of the Odin Force, each one holds a half of said power, and because of that, because of the incompleteness of said power, you are both connected to Asgard, the planet as a whole through the Odin force, the piece you both have, now, this means, that until one of you completes this power, making it one again, you two and your lives will depend on the state of Asgard. This also explains why the both of you are stronger in Asgard, it's mostly because your life forces are mostly trapped in here, waiting for the other half of the power to complete yours or her ascension to the throne.}

I'll be damned, I didn't know about that at all.

I mean, I did know Hela was stronger in Asgard, and that her power never stops growing in there, but the rest, I didn't know.

I guess this explains why The Ancient One was so adamant about having this battle on Asgard of all places, she one, knew Hela would not take the bait outside Asgard, and two, that Thor would be at his best there too.

{I see,} Thor grumbled.

{Don't worry buddy, we will get you that other haft,} I assured him, trying to sound as supportive as possible.

{Of that I have no doubt!} Thor beamed, going back to his golden retriever-like persona.

Smiling, I checked my map, seeing every single golem in position.

I grinned.

Ordering them to start my plan, as I moved closer to Hela, being as stealthy as possible, ensuring not to be noticed, I wanted to be close enough to her to see her, but not close enough for her to detect me as a threat.

[Hela Odinsdottir POV]

More and more insects kept joining the fray.

Making my life a bit more difficult, fighting so many competent individuals while at the same time dealing with ranged attacks from multiple directions, and Golems swarming at me like bugs.

Well, what can I say? I was having a relatively hard time fighting them all.

If anything, it was annoying more than troubling.

Of all the creatures trying to attack me, only two represented a moderated threat, Thor, and The Ancient One, the rest were simply defenseless lambs waiting for the slaughter.

As I pondered over that thought, I felt someone above me, overflowing with the intent of killing me, so much even a child could've felt it. Turning around, I grabbed the attacker's blade with my bare hands, pulling her closer.

How life keeps on giving me, just what I want.

"Hello, Sif," I grinned, her face inches away from mine.

"Go to hell!" Sif growled, dropping the sword before slamming her fist on my face.

"Been there, done that," I smirked, returning her the favor, by punching her away.

Sadly, the Ancient One cushioned most of the blow evolving the little whore on her magic, reducing the desired effect of my punch to around a five percent of the power I had originally thrown in that attack. 

"Sorry, for a moment there I thought I could get a fast one on her," Sif apologized, unsheathing her backup sword from her back in a singular motion.

"This is pointless," I sighed, summoning thousands of blades above us, covering the entire sky in a menacing picture of black, "You will never, ever defeat me."

The Ancient One smiled, "We only have to keep fighting you for the next five, six minutes, four, four minutes, before you learn how fucked you are." at this she turned to Thor, a thoughtful look on her face, "Is that how kids say it these days?"

"I have heard Alex say it," Thor nodded with a wide smile.

Four minutes? Did they really think anything would change in that time? Hilarious, "I suppose I will indulge in your game," I chuckled, no matter how much they tried, as long as I was on Asgard, and Alex wasn't here, I would come on top.
