Order In The Court
7/18/1946, Asgard
The group looked around at everything that was there, a golden city that had a crystalline bridge which had given a rainbow glow, the image there had been, radiant would be the least descriptive word possible, it was making him shocked to say the least now and as he looked at it all, the man was shocked by the sight that was there and it had made each of them stare in shock at it all at the moment.
“This is beautiful.” Joseph said and hearing that, the group look towards each other before they started to preen at the statement, loving the sight of it all and yet as they did so, the men in golden armor started to get a bit more calm, giving the group looks now as Robbie zoomed forward, going full speed before he returned, making the group unaware of it as they headed further in now.

7/18/1946, Asgardian Dungeons, Asgard
The Utopian looked around now and as she did so, Zarda saw that she was in a cage that seemed to have a shimmer where the walls would be, “Where am I?” she asked and hearing that, a man had appeared before them, “Greetings, I am Forseti, I will be your judge for your trial.” she said and hearing that, the woman was curious, “What is my crime exactly? Using that shard as an ax?” she asked of him.
Forseti sighed at that, pulling out a scroll, “You are being judged for the fact that you have stolen a piece of The Bifrost and used it for your own purposes, mortal–” “I am a Utopian, the last or Earth and you will call me as much.” Zarda said, not liking how he said Mortal, “Very well, Utopian Zarda.” he told her, “Anyways, you have been charged with the illegal usage of The Bifrost, potentially damaging the Bifrost.
That made her scowl, “How am I supposed to–?” she started to say before there was a shock now, golden lightning hurting her, “Come along, your trial is ready.” he said towards her now, making Zarda curious, “Unfortunately, Odin is busy and Thor will not be attending, a shame.” Forseti said and hearing that, the Utopian had gotten a bit more worried by all of that as she was torn away.

7/18/1946, Court Room, Asgard
The Squadron had watched right now and yet, as they looked towards each other now and as they looked towards everything, how there were large people that seemed to have some Neo–Norse clothing, clamoring and shouting right about now as they saw that there was Zarda who had been walking forward before the man that was with them started to float towards a chair that was there in the center, “The Court against The Utopian Known as Zarda will now commence!” he shouted.
That made the group look towards each other before he spoke, “Zarda is accused of the illegal usage of The Bifrost, damaging the bridge and in so doing, causing serious damage to the means of our travel amongst the Nine Realms.” he said and hearing that, the crowd seemed to get angry, shouting towards that, “Does the defense have anything to say against this?” Forseti asked.
Hearing that, Zarda glared, “The reason I had been using the shard, was because I found it in a crater, someone must have broken it off, I had no idea what it was, but the shard was sharp and it allowed me to travel around the world, I had no idea that it would hurt the ‘Bifrost’.” she said towards them and hearing that, the crowd looked towards each other before Forseti shouted.
“Come here, I will see if that is the truth.” he said to her, making Zarda confused as he went and pressed his hand onto her head, making it glow and making her grimace in pain before they started to look towards each other with some worry, going to try and stop it before he pulled back, sighing, “She speaks the truth, the shard of The Bifrost had fallen onto Midgard.” he told them all.
“That’s all well and good.” a voice said, making the squadron look in confusion as they saw how a man wearing a bone and antler covered mask had started to walk over, grinning, “After all, we cannot let this go unpunished, even if it was unaware.” the man said, making Forseti glare, “Loki, as the prince of Asgard, you should–” “I should be assisting you in the punishment of these mortals–” “Utopian.” Zarda said.
That made the man scowl, “Mortals.” he said, “After all, each of you is responsible for the repeated usage of the item in question.” he said and hearing that, the guards around the squadron started to aim their weapons towards them now and as they did so, Joseph had aimed and created a shield, protecting them all now before he started push them backwards, “Squadron Lets get out of here!” He shouted.
Skymax turned into a large serpent now, going to whip out and attack at more of them now which made the Asgardians start to attack with blades or shooting at them as Joseph had created another shield to protect them now, making sure that they could not be harmed as Zarda leapt upwards now, going to them now so Joseph had created a hole now, “We’re leaving!” Zarda told them.
Hearing that, the Squadron started to rush out Skymax in the lead as a large beast flying forward and as he went to lead the charge while Joseph had created a barrier to protect them, they were moving as fast as possible towards the gate and as they did so, there was a person that landed on them, “Halt!” a raven haired woman in silver and red armor told them now.
That made Zarda glare as she looked to Joseph, “Hammer!” she shouted, so he made one with rainbow energy that she gripped and used to hit him, “I’m going to need some armor!” she told him as Joseph looked at her, “I’m not a miracle worker! If I do that, I have to drop the bubble and you!” he shouted and hearing that, the speedster and Utopian both nodded, “Do it!” they said in unison.
That made him nod as went to drop it, going and firing upon the Asgardians now when a cannon aimed and fired at him, making him try to create a shield and as he started to feel it crack, the man started to go upwards and a s he did, the chariots started to charge towards them, going to bind him with ropes, but as he was hit by their lassos or whatever they were, he had tried to use his prism to stop them.
But it was caught by a blonde man that looked to have a rapier now, and it was making him glare, the being going and starting to get him contained, meanwhile, Skymax had started to use his powers now and as he did as much, the man started to look as everything that was there and as he stated to grow, to become something so large and great thanks to his powers.
He started to turn towards them with some fury and wrath before eventually he started to see that green smoke was covering him, overtaking everything that was him now and as it did so, he was shocked and confused by it all now before seeing that he was nothing more than a small frog that the bone masked man started to hold him up now with a smile at the moment.
Robbie ran over, going to try and stop him when a Asgardian had grabbed at him, “You are fast, I’ll give you that.” he said with a smile, “But Hermodr is faster than any mortal.” he said and hearing that, he proceeded to grab at him, moving and going to tie him up in what could be a moment now as he was restrained as the others started to surround the last one.
She lost her armor and the hammer, but she was not going to die yet as she was charged towards one, but she had only grabbed at the nearest spear that had been stabbed at her now and as he looked at everything, stabbing at a few and piercing their shields with some calm right now and as they saw this, one of the largest red haired men she saw went to approach her with a laugh.
“Ha! You look like a worthy fight! What say after this, you and–!” “I’m married.” she said towards him now, making the man nod, “Fair enough.” he told her before he lifted his ax and went to slash at her, but as she saw this, Zarda went to pierce the weapon in question, making it stop enough for her to push it to the side and then headbut him hard, causing him to take a step back.
He laughed at that as a man in blue and black leathers had walked over, “You are enjoying this.” he told him and hearing that, the red head grinned, “Why wouldn't we?” he asked and making the woman a bit worried, wanting to protect her people before seeing that there was a woman there, “Please, stop.” she said and hearing that, all of the enemies that were there started to bow and stop.
That made them all confused as the woman who was there smiled at each of them now, “I apologize for the… worry and concern of my son and the people of Asgard.” she said and hearing that, Zarda looked at them and the woman when all of a sudden, her spear vanished now, making Zarda confused, “You and your allies are free to leave, on two conditions.” she said.
That made Zarda and the others curious, “The first is that the shard of The Bifrost is taken by us and returned to the bridge, we cannot risk it’s damage.” she said and hearing that, the group looked at each other before Zarda nodded, “That is fine.” she said, “I do not wish to hurt your people.” The Utopian said as Skymax spoke, “And what is the second condition?” she asked of her.
“The second condition is that you do not speak of Asgard or attempt to return here without permission.” she told them all, “We have had enough dangers from Midgard and none of us wish to bring danger to either of our realms.” the woman said and hearing that, there was no issue with that now, they started to agree, “We promise.” Zarda told her, “Swear it, make an oath.” the woman told them.
Hearing that, they all looked at each other before they had each nodded, “We swear, we will never tell anyone of what we had seen or attempt to come here without permission.” they had all said, surprised at how they seemed to speak in unison at the moment when she smiled, “Heimdall.” she said now, making the man that was at the gate approach now, “Please send them home.”

The group had returned now and as they had looked around, the Squadron had been a bit surprised by everything that was there right now and it was making them a bit surprised that the woman had done that and as they looked around at everything, The General had looked towards them now and it made the man relieved, “What the Hell happened?!” he demanded.
“God Trial, we survived.” Joseph had said and hearing that, the man was confused, “God Trial?!” he asked, “We’re not allowed to tell more.” Zarda said towards him now as she went to walk off, looking towards Robbie and the others, “I lost my way home, anyone have any ideas?” she asked of them and hearing that, Robbie spoke, “Hop on, we’ll think of a way on the run back.” he said.
Hearing that, Zarda gave a smile towards that and hearing that, The Utopian had went to piggyback him, “I’m without any gear or my weapons, do you mind if I just make sure that everything is fine back home?” she asked and hearing that, the General had sighed in annoyance before he started to wave them off, thinking that he would get the answer from Skymax and Joseph instead.

The two of them found themselves in there now and as they looked around now, and as they appeared before Howard, he gave a look, “What the–? Why are you two all banged up?” he asked and hearing that, Zada sighed, “I’ve been having some issues is all.” she said and hearing that, he was a bit more worried by that statement as they began to get her gear.
Looking through everything that was there now, Howard saw that there was something odd, a golden armband that Robbie had now and it made Howard look towards him, “Where did you get that from?” he asked of him and hearing that, Robbie looked in confusion, “Huh, I have no idea.” he told her before the Speedster had went to remove it, looking at his item now.
It glowed with some strange runic language now and as he did so, pressing one f them, he started to feel that there was a feeling which made him confused while Zarda looked towards the images on it now and as he did so, the Utopian appeared now, “Alright then, how about we head back?” she asked, going to kiss Howard on the lips as they went to leave now.

Jiaying had been looking over the others that were there, seeing how their area was remote, no one and nothing would be able to arrive there and as she took a deep breath right now, the Inhuman had looked at her hand and seen how she still looked like she was in the prime of her life, making the young woman hate that her biology needed something like this now as she went to walk.
There were villagers that were heading downwards right about now and as they did so, the woman paused right now before taking a breath, “[Jiaying, we have a need of your assistance.]” one of the elders said, making her look and see that there was an infestation of the worms now and as she saw everything that was there, the young woman took a deep breath.
She went to go and touch the worms, devouring their life force now with some annoyance right about now and began feel as her life force started to return, she had no idea what these were, but it seemed that she was the only one to deal with them, so unfortunately, it was her job which she was doing to the best of her abilities right about now to the best of her abilities.

7/18/1946, The Institute, Mojave Desert
“You need to deal with the one known as Jiaying!” The worm had said and hearing that, the man looked up from his work, “Why? I thought you were able to infect any of our people?” he thought and hearing that, Alveus groaned mentally, “You see, there are a few I am unable to touch, one of them is your friend who has the ability to absorb the life force of another, like myself.” he said.
Hearing that, Phaeder sighed, “I made sure that there was no need for my interference, I would need to leave The Institute and abandon our research.” He said and hearing that, the worm started to get annoyed while he looked at the gene that he was working on, “Is there any that you would be able to send instead and in so doing, STOP her repeated cannibalization of me?” He asked.
Hearing that, Phaeder paused, thinking on that before he nodded, “We can send Maelstrom, he should have the capabilities to do so.” The man said as he started to get back to his old work he once did on canines with rats now, wanting to see if there was a way for them to implant a Inhuman gene into whatever was there and as he watched the rats had started to attack at one of them.
This rat had the Inhuman Gene now and as he started to look, Phaeder sighed before going to drop a fragment of Terrigen into there, and as he did so, there was a change, the beast started to scream out in pain, their body beginning to change, throb and thrash now before it had seemed to grow uneven now before the monster turned and leapt towards them.
It had grown multiple heads and a blade at the end of the tail made of bone, the monster looking pretty vicious right about now and as it started to tear into the others now with some glee, the monster went to turn towards him, the others all dead now and leaving him there to sigh before pressing the button that was at the bottom of the cage, as he did so, it started to burn.
It screamed and wailed before eventually it began to smash itself into the side, making him annoyed at it all before he pulled out a gun and proceeded to empty the barrel into the creature, making it finally die now, annoying him that it was another failure before collecting the remains and putting it with the others that were on the wall to make sure that they would win one day.

7/18/1946, Jiaying’s quarters, Huaihua[Chinese]
Jiaying had been dealing with the worms like usual when she had felt something off, looking around, the woman saw that there was someone that didn’t look like they belonged, someone that made the woman pause in fear, “[You are the Worm Killer?]” he said, making the Woman nod towards that, “[Excellent, then I have to not burn down everything.]” he said with a smile, going to attack.
The stones that were around them started to move now, each of them going to stab at her, at least until they had paused an inch from her skin, “[You will die,]” the strange man said to her, “[You will die unless we make a deal.]” he said and hearing that, Jiaying gave a look, “[What kind of deal?]” she asked him, hearing that, the man smiled, removing all of the stone there.
“[You will not hurt the worms, you will not interfere with them and they will leave your people alone, but you must make sure that you make the right kind of Inhumans, keep a catalog, check the bloodlines, and in doing so, create everything we all need.]” he told her which put Jiaying on edge, “[And you and The Worms will leave us alone?]” she asked of him now which made him smile.
“[I swear that we will never interfere as long as you hold up your end of the deal.]” he said and hearing that, the woman took a breath, “[Then I believe that this will be the start of a beautiful partnership between your people and my father Phaeder once more.]” he said and hearing that, the woman had been a bit surprised by that, but took his hand and shook it like they agreed.

7/19/1946, The Library, Huaihua
Jiaying had been looking at everything there and as she started to observe all of the information there before she had taken a deep breath, everything was being recorded now and as they started to write about everything that they needed, every bloodline, every day of birth, everything that was personal about their birth and appearance as well as their terrigenesis.
As she looked over everything, everything that was written there, she had taken a deep breath now, she saw that a worm was looking at her, making Jiaying glare, “[Stay out of my sight.]” she said and strangely enough, the creature nodded, going to leave now and as it did so, the woman sighed as she started to get back to work and hope that it would all work out in a bit.

7/19/1946, Fort Erskine, Teton Wilderness
The Squadron had been going through the usual workings right now and as they did so, there was another beam of rainbow energy there which had made the group and all of the soldiers at the ready now, but instead of soldiers again, there was only a message there that had been carve on a stone now, making Zarda and a few of the others approach area now with some confusion.
They looked towards it all and as she went to ready it, the Utopian smirked, “It’s an apology from The King of Asgard, apparently he wanted to let us know that he would not have done this and offered us an alternate means of travel.” she said as they were rings that were buried in the stone now, making them confused as Zarda put it on, “It says think of home and think of the stone.” she said.
Curious, Zarda did that and vanished in a small blip, making them all start to back away in panic right now before she appeared again, “Woah!” she said in shock, making the others take it now and look at her and then the rings, thinking that it would be quite useful for them as each of the Squadron took one, the General trying as well but it didn’t almost like it was made for someone else in the future.
