________________________________________________________________________________

[3rd Person POV]

(Y/n): "...Argh...Where...Where am I?"

The sound of groans escaped (Y/n)'s lips as his eyes slowly began to flicker; a bright light the object that greets him. But it doesn't take, the now able to see, (Y/n) long for him to grab at his surroundings...Well, not grab, mainly because his hands were currently restrained to a metal chair which slowly travels through a dark corridor.

Female Announcer: "Fear not, for you are found. You are home, and there is no going back."

Immediately as soon as the female voice began talking, (Y/n) began pulling against his restraints in an attempt to free himself.

Female Announcer: "No one leaves this place."

(Y/n): "And what is this place exactly?"

Female Announcer: "The answer...is Sakaar."

The metal walls around (Y/n) slowly begin to darken before slowly shifting into he endless stars that filled the void of space. (Y/n) looked around in disorientation as worm holes and planets formed around him as (Y/n) was forced to venture through these allusions.

Female Announcer: "Surrounded by cosmic gateways, Sakaar lives on the edge of the known and unknown."

Red, Green, Yellow, and Blue lights all start to flash in front of (Y/n)'s eyes as he continued to be directed towards an unknown location. As he looked down at the moving chair he couldn't help but think of it as one of those slow roller coaster rides his Father took him on when the Festival arrived in New York. A small smile shifted to his lips as the smell of corn dogs and the taste of buttery popcorn filled his senses, the smile his father gave him before the roller coaster was about to drop was another thing that came to (Y/n)'s mind.

Female Announcer: "It is the collection point for all lost and unloved things... Like you. But here on Sakaar, you are significant. You are valuable. Here... You are loved."

Reverting his gaze out of his memories due to the female voice speaking once more, (Y/n) is immediately terrified when he sees a planet directly in front of him. He instantly braces himself for impact, but instead goes straight through the planet unscathed.

(Y/n): [Turns his head around] "What the hell?"

Female Announcer: "And no one loves you more than the Grandmaster. He is the original...the first lost and the first found."

An image of a crashed ship appears next to (Y/n) before silhouette of a man rises from it and turns around as structures and massive buildings appear from out of nowhere.

Female Announcer: "The creator of Sakaar, and father of the Contest of Champions. Where once you were nothing... now you are something."

The previous image is immediately changed with that of faceless warriors in a gladiator arena fighting each other to the death with swords, shields, maces, and anything that can be used as a weapon. (Y/n)'s bright blue solar eyes reflected the images before the room around him suddenly returned to a bleak, black void as the speed of the chair he was attached to continued to increase slightly.

Female Announcer: "You are the property of the Grandmaster. Congratulations! You will meet the Grandmaster in five seconds..."

Now going faster and faster, red, yellow, blue, and green flashing lights flooded (Y/n)'s vision as he was forced to lean backwards in his chair due to the speed.

Female Announcer: "Prepare yourself...Prepare yourself...You are now meeting the Grandmaster."

The flashing lights became more longer and more frequent as (Y/n) was forced to shut his eyes; the thought of once not being able to see, but now having to close your eyes from a bright light was something (Y/n) hasn't necessarily got use to yet. Soon though something caught (Y/n)'s attention, screaming. It wasn't his screams, but they did sound familiar. However, he couldn't keep his attention on the screams for long as his gaze was redirected ahead where a bright light now waited for him. Closing his eyes tightly (Y/n) awaited for whatever waited for him on the other side...Though the only thing there was a screaming Thor, who was also restrained in a similar chair, and over two dozen colorful guards with strange armor and strange spears.

As for the god of thunder he continued to screaming, still doing so when he slowly looked to his right to see (Y/n) looking directly at him with a raised eyebrow. Filled suddenly with embarrassment Thor slowly lowered his voice until silencing himself completely. But turning his attention to the person sitting directly in front of himself and (Y/n)...The Grandmaster. With silver hair and blue paint under his eyes and a line under his mouth, The Grandmaster examined the two heroes before smiling and turning to glance to his left where the woman who took out both (Y/n) and Thor now stood, a small smile on her face.

Grandmaster: "Wonderful...Absolutely wonderful." [Smiles and giggles] "They're just so unique and colorful. Look!-[Points to you]-This one is red and shining with stars, and this one...[points to Thor]...He's, uh...He has long hair."

(???): [Looks at Thor and smiles] "Yes, he does."

Grandmaster: "I love when you come to visit, 142. You bring me the best stuff. Whenever we get to talking, Topaz, about Scrapper 142, what do I always say? 'She is the...' And it starts with a 'B'."

Topaz: "Trash."

Topaz, the woman standing next to the Grandmaster, holding a scepter with an orange orb just stares daggers at Scrapper 142 before continuing the Grandmaster's sentence...kinda.

Grandmaster: "No, not trash. Were you waiting just to call her that? It doesn't start with a 'B'."

Topaz: "Booze hag."

She once again says this while glaring at female now known as Scrapper 142, but as they do their little thing (Y/n) and Thor share a confused glance before turning back to their captures.

Grandmaster: "Uh, I'm so sorry. No, 'best'. I was thinking about 'best'; Cause I always say you're the best. She brought me my beloved champion, you know."

Topaz: "You say that every time she's here."

(Y/n): "Um, what exactly is going on here?"

Grandmaster: [Ignores you] "What have you brought today? Tell me."

Scrapper 142: "A contender."

(Y/n): [To Thor] "I don't like the sound of that."

Thor: "Yes, I do not like the sound of that either."

Grandmaster: "I need to go closer. I want to get a closer look at this. Can you take us closer?"

Topaz merely nods before getting behind the Grandmaster's silver chair and began pushing him closer towards (Y/n) and Thor. The sound of metal scrapping against the polished floor filled the room, hurting (Y/n)'s ears slightly as the Grandmaster continued to be pushed. Thankfully he soon came to a stop, but once he did, he didn't waste time and immediately began looking over the two heroes in front of him. No words were spoken from the Grandmaster as he got a closer look of (Y/n) and Thor, and it wasn't long before he smiled and nodded satisfyingly.

Grandmaster: "Pay this lady."

Thor: "Just wait a damn minute. I'm not for sale."

(Y/n): "I'm?"

Thor: [Turns to you] "We, I mean't we." [Immediately turns back] "WE...Are not for sale!"

He roars , though not as powerful as before, but still ends up ripping free of this restraints, but before he could do anything Scrapper 142 immediately activates the device in her hand which sends a shock-wave of electricity throughout Thor's body.

Grandmaster: [Smiles] "Man, he's a fighter...The other ones a little quiet, though."

(Y/n) just raises an eyebrow before turning his attention around the room, looking for anyway to get himself and Thor out of their current predicament.

Scrapper 142: " I take 10 million."

Topaz: "Tell her she's dreaming."

Grandmaster: "For heaven's sakes, transfer the units."

Groaning, Topaz reluctantly agreed to the Grandmaster's orders and transfers the units. Once done Scrapper 142 smiles at the Grandmaster and runs her hand over the Grandmaster's cheek before going to leave the throne room, along the way she smirks at Thor who weakly points at her.

Thor: "You'll...P-Pay for this."

Scrapper 142: "No, I got paid for this..." [Glances over to you] "See ya around, Cutie."

She finishes off with a wink which leaves both (Y/n) and Thor confused, though the latter was confused for a more different reason.

Thor: "How..?"

(Y/n): "Beats me, man."

He says with a small smile but quickly drops it when he remembers he already has two gorgeous, yet also deadly, girlfriends waiting back for him on Earth. Shaking his head (Y/n) clears his mind and goes to realign it with the Grandmaster, but as soon as he turns his head straight again he's suddenly forced backwards into his chair when he see's the Grandmaster's face inches away from his own.

Grandmaster: "Here's what I wanna know. Who are you?..Both of you."

Thor: "I am the God of Thunder."

Thor roars once more as he frees himself from his restraints again. But all that comes from this are small sparks of lightning from his fingertips and the sound of crackling. The Grandmaster just looks on unimpressed at the show.

Grandmaster: "Wow. I didn't hear any thunder, but out of your fingers, was that sparkles?"

Thor: "Those were not sparkles."

Grandmaster: "Really? Because they looked like sparkles."

(Y/n): "They kinda did, buddy."

Thor just groans and throws his arms back down to the chair in annoyance of being unable to control his powers anymore. Once done with Thor the Grandmaster then returns his attention to (Y/n) which means returning his face to mere inches away from the Daredevil's face.

Grandmaster: [Smiles] "And what are you the god of...Attracting women? Because if I'm going off the looks of my guards behind you..."

Using all his strength to turn his head around to see the majority of females Sakaar guards looking at him with smiles and giving him very flattering waves, all of which confused (Y/n) beyond belief. But even so he still took a few glances back and forth between the Grandmaster and his female guards until Thor couldn't handle it anymore.

Thor: "Yes! (Y/n), we understand...Girls like you! There is no need to keep bragging about it."

(Y/n): "Oh, I, uh...I wasn't..."

Thor: [Narrows eyes and smiles] "Sure you weren't."

(Y/n) just looks at Thor strangely before returning his gaze back to the Grandmaster, who was still waiting for a response.

(Y/n): "Oh, um...I'm the God...Without...Fear?"

He glances at Thor for confirmation, but the god of thunder was now looking in the opposite direction so (Y/n) had no other choice but to confirm it himself.

Grandmaster: "You're a God...Without fear?"

(Y/n): "Uh, yep. That is...pretty much it."

Grandmaster: "...Huh? Alright."

Shaking his head Grandmaster turns around as Topaz approaches him, still carrying the scepter with the orange orb in her hand.

Topaz: "We've located your cousin."

Grandmaster: "Oh, uh, Good!" [Begins walking as (Y/n)'s and Thor's chairs follow] "Yeah, come on. I think you're gonna like this."

So without a choice both (Y/n) and Thor were forced to follow the Grandmaster to an outlook of his throne room where another person sat in a similar chair to the heroes. But as (Y/n) and Thor came to a stop on either side of the newest restrained member they took notice that this person was not a human, but instead some type of alien which ended up freaking (Y/n) out more then Thor.

Grandmaster: "There he is. Hey, cuz. We almost couldn't find you. What, you been hiding?"

Thor: [To the alien] "Hi."

Grandmaster: "So..."

Carlo: "Please... I-I'm sorry."

Grandmaster: "Yeah. Carlo... I pardon you."

The Grandmaster's cousin sighs before thanking Grandmaster over and over again, but it is soon revealed that those words of thanks were completely useless.

Grandmaster: "You're officially pardoned...From life."

Following this Grandmaster gently touches his cousin on the chest with the blunt end of the orange orb. At first (Y/n) is confused as nothing happens, but within seconds his whole world is shaken upside down as Carlo's body immediately begins dissolving into a blue liquid while smoke begins rising from his body. A shocked expression immediately crosses (Y/n)'s face as Carlo's screams of pain and help flood his ears, all (Y/n) can do is watch in horror as the Grandmaster's cousins dies in front of him in a gruesome matter, but when (Y/n) turned his attention to the person who caused such death, he didn't seem phased at all.

Grandmaster: "I'm stepping in it. I'm stepping in it. Look!"

It's seen Carlo's bodily goo is now running along the ground, forcing Grandmaster to step backwards out of the goo's path as he hands his staff back to Topaz.

Thor: "Oh, the smell."

(Y/n): "How do you think I feel, dude? I can literally taste it."

Grandmaster: [To Topaz] "What does it smell like?"

Topaz: [Unfazed] "Burnt toast."

(Y/n): "Who hurt you?"

He mutters as he watches the Grandmaster and Topaz laugh at the scene in front of them.

Grandmaster: "What happened to my manners? I haven't properly introduced myself. Come on. Follow me."

A happy smile makes way onto Grandmaster's face as he leads the two heroes to another part of his palace, this one though was filled with the sound of upbeat music and people partying away, the first of which the Grandmaster decided to take responsibility for by stepping behind the DJ setup.

Grandmaster: "My name is Grandmaster. I preside over a little harlequinade called the Contest of Champions."

(Y/n): "Contest of Champions, what's that?"

Grandmaster: "Oh, people come from far and wide to unwillingly participate in it. And you and sparkles over there, might just be part of the new cast. What do you say to that?"

Thor: "I don't give a shit about your games."

Grandmaster: "And you, Shiny?"

(Y/n): "Oh, you lost me at unwillingly participate."

(???): "There was a wormhole in space and time beneath me. At that moment, I let go."

The sound of a familiar voice enters (Y/n)'s ears causing the God without Fear to change his sense of direction on instinct, and upon doing so his glowing eyes landed on the scene of a completely fine Loki telling a recent story to the group of people.

(Y/n): "Um, Thor, I'm stilling getting use to seeing and everything, but I'm pretty sure that's--"

Thor: "Listen! We're going back to Asgard whether you like it or not."

Grandmaster: [Laughs] "Ass-gard."

Thor just glares at Grandmaster, all the while (Y/n) continues to try and gain the god of thunder's attention.

(Y/n): "Thor. Thor, hey, isn't--"

Thor: [Without looking] "(Y/n), can't you see I'm glaring at this crazy person right now?"

(Y/n): "Yeah, but--...You're glaring? What's that suppose to do?"

Instantly Thor goes silent, not entirely sure where he was leading with his point but before he would have to say anything due to (Y/n) waiting for a response his eyes quickly noticed Loki to the left talking to some people.

Thor: "Loki? Loki! (Y/n), look, it's Loki!"

(Y/n): "Oh, uh, yeah, I know. I saw him al--"

Thor: "Oh, right, you can see now." [Rolls eyes] "It's not exactly a superpower."

(Y/n): "Well, I mean, I've never seen bef--"

Thor: "(Y/n)! Enough, really. Can't you see I'm working very hard at getting us out of our current situation?"

(Y/n) opens his mouth to say something but soon stops and decides to remain quiet as Thor returns to getting Loki's attention.

Thor: "Loki! Loki, over here. Over here."

Half way through laughing Loki suddenly stops himself when he notices his brother. Quickly he gets to his feet, smiles at the guests around him, before finally walking over to his brother.

Thor: [Angry] "Loki!"

Loki: [Shushes Thor and whispers] "What?"

Thor: [Whispers back] "You're alive?"

Loki: "Yes, of course I'm alive."

(Y/n): [Whispering as well] "We thought you were dead."

Loki: [To Thor] "You thought I was dead?"

Thor: "No, we--"

(Y/n): "We were going to leave you."

Loki: [Shocked, to Thor] "You were?!"

Thor: "No, I wasn't...(Y/n) was."

Immediately the aforementioned male turns to Thor after being stabbed in the back, but even so the trio continued their whispering.

Loki: "What are you are two doing here?"

(Y/n): "What do you mean, what are we doing here? We're stuck in these stupid chairs."

Thor: "Yeah, where's your chair?"

Loki: "Chair? I didn't get a chair."

(Y/n): "Well, can you get us out?"

Thor: "Yeah. Get us out."

Loki: "I can't."

(Y/n): "What do you you mean, you can't?"

Loki: "I can't."

(Y/n): "What? Why?"

Thor: "Yeah, why?"

(Y/n): [To Thor] "Are you just going to keep copying me?"

Thor: "...Maybe."

(Y/n): [Shakes his head and turns back to Loki] "Why can't you get us out?"

Loki: "I've made friends with this man. He's called the Grandmaster."

Thor: "Oh, he's crazy!"

Loki: "Yes, but I've gained his favor."

(Y/n): "How'd you get here? When we woke you up you were nowhere."

Loki: "The Bifrost brought me out here weeks ago."

Thor: "Weeks ago?"

Loki: "Yes."

(Y/n): "But we just got here, how is that possible?"

Loki: "I don't know, you're the one who summoned it."

Grandmaster: "What are you whispering about?"

Thor suddenly yelps as he, (Y/n) and Loki stop their whispering and pull away when they finally take noticed to the Grandmaster who now stood right next to them, still playing away on his DJ setup as he explains away the confusion of Thor and (Y/n).

Grandmaster: "Time works real different around these parts. On any other world, I'd be, like, millions of years old. But here on Sakaar..."

A long pause of silence floods the group as (Y/n) glances to Thor, Grandmaster glances to Loki, Loki glances to (Y/n), Thor glances to Grandmaster, Grandmaster glances to (Y/n) who glances at Loki and so forth...

Grandmaster: "...In any case, you know this... You call yourself Lord of Thunder?"

Thor: "God of Thunder." [To Loki] "Tell him."

Loki: "...I've never met either of these men before in my life."

Thor: "He's my brother."

Loki: "Adopted."

He quickly corrects while (Y/n) mutters to himself.

(Y/n): "And this is why I don't count on bad guys, Nat."

Grandmaster: [To Loki] "Are they any kind of fighters?"

Thor: [Laughs] "You take this thing out of my neck and I'll show you."

The Grandmaster smiles and laughs as he straightens the crop of his shirt.

Grandmaster: "Now, listen to that. He's threatening me. Hey, Sparkles, here's the deal. If you wanna get back to Ass-place, Assberg..."
