Hey guys! It's MissBlackRock back with another Smite Story! This time around, it's no bloody war, no violence, and NO DEAD GODS! This is a universe were all the gods are still alive, and none of them are evil! They all live in an expensive town, and coexist with humans as well.

This story takes the personality of Raijin from SuperMastour's stories. Meaning that this is not my own Raijin, this is HIS Raijin. Sort of like a crossover. In case you do not know, my version of Nemesis has the ability of super speed.

Hopefully you guys have read the summary of the story, and know what's happening. Enjoy!


Nemesis woke up as normally as anyone could, feeling lazy and still tired, even after sleeping for over 10 hours. She wearily got up out of bed and looked at herself in the mirror.

"Ugh...stupid hair."

Nemesis glared at her short, dark brown hair, it was messy and tangled up. She took off her sleeping shorts and t-shirt, along with everything under it, and stepped into the shower.


A few minutes later...

Nemesis dried herself off and got dressed for work that she was already running late for. She straightened her hair and put on some black jeans, knee high brown boots, a light blue shirt, and a navy blue sweatshirt. She quickly grabbed a black backpack and left the room.

She walked out of her room and into the kitchen to see her boyfriend, Ares, making breakfast. The kitchen smelled of eggs and toast, typical Greek morning.

"Good morning Nem, how'd you sleep?" Ares asked, somehow knowing Nemesis was there.

"Heh...Like a rock. I was so tired."

Ares scoffed. "Well...doing three jobs that all require you running around all day can do that to a person."

"Three? Puh-lease, two of them are basically the same thing!" Nemesis argued. She sat down at the table.

"Mail delivery and Worldwide Express is not the same thing." Ares responded back, he placed a plate that had scrambled eggs and two pieces of toast on it on the table, along with a glass of orange juice.

"They are the same thing! It's just...one is delivering mail and packages all over town. The other is delivering that stuff to places all over the world."

Ares looked at Nemesis with a dull look, she had done nothing but further prove his point.

"Ugh...whatever." Nemesis rolled her eyes, making Ares laugh.

"Oh yeah? How did YOU sleep? Your job is way more physical than my THREE jobs!"

"Because I'm fit! The Gym isn't tiring if you're one of the strongest gods of all!" Ares laughed, he flexed his muscles.

"Yeah, you run it with Hercules. What if you ran it alone?" Nemesis narrowed her eyes, she had him.

"Well...nothing would really change, except the place would be a lot cleaner and more organized. What would change is that some people would be out of a personal trainer."

Nemesis slammed her head down on the table, she had failed.

Ares let out a small chuckle, and then turned back to cooking, Nemesis lifted her head up to the smell of fresh sausage.

"You want some sausage?" Ares said over his shoulder.

"Of course I do! GIMME!"

Ares shook his head and threw one over his shoulder; Nemesis caught it in her mouth and ate it like a dog.

"Sheesh. You really like sausage." Ares turned off the stove; he sat down at the table with a bowl of oatmeal.

"Yeah...I do." Nemesis began to eat up her eggs.

Ares looked at Nemesis with a naughty look, making her blush.

"UGH! You know what I mean by that!"

"Relax, relax! I know what you mean. Just sounded a little out of context." Ares chuckled.

"Yeah of course it did! You take everything out of context, you and your dirty mind." Nemesis growled.

"Hey! I come from a family where the father likes to stick his dick in every girl he sees alright? I can't really help it!" Ares joked, making Nemesis burst out laughing, almost making her spit orange juice everywhere.

"Ha...Yeah...that's true, and let's not forget that sister of yours..." Nemesis stuck a piece of toast in her mouth and looked at Ares.

"Hm...Let's not bring her up. She doesn't exactly bring up pleasant memories." Ares sighed.

"I'm glad you're not with her anymore you know. She was ruining you." Nemesis said warmly.

"Yeah...then you came and saved me." Ares smiled.

Nemesis got all giddy. "Oh be quiet! Gosh...you're being all mushy again..." Nemesis blushed.

"Heh...but you like it don't you?" Ares joked, still smiling.

Nemesis didn't bother to respond, she looked at the black cat clock that was on the wall, and it read 11:26.

"Crap! I'm going to even more late! I was supposed doing the morning route with Mercury!" Nemesis freaked.

"Alright! You'd better get going then!" Ares got up from his chair.

Nemesis grabbed her last piece of toast and was about to dash out the door, until she heard Ares call to her.

"Forgetting something?" Ares teased, he held up a cold energy drink in his hand, grape flavor, Nemesis' favorite.

The Goddess sighed; she nodded her head as Ares threw the drink at her.

"Thanks Ares! Love you!" She shouted, and shut the door behind her.

Nemesis stood in her front yard, she placed the energy drink in her back pack, and then pulled her hoodie up over her eyes.

"Good morning neighbor!" A voice called out, Nemesis turned to her right to see Osiris waving to her.

"Hey Osiris! How's it going?"

"Pretty good? You?" Osiris smiled.

"Yeah, I'm alright! Just heading off to work as usual, you know!" Nemesis grinned.

"Ah that's swell! Alright then, I'm just going to guess you're running late, so you get to it!" Osiris laughed, and then Isis stepped out of the door behind him.

"Why hello Nemesis! Are you heading off to deliver the mail?" Isis asked.

"Yeah I am, why?"

"Um...D-Do you remember what I told you? The um...the specialty item...I asked you for?" Isis turned red like a tomato, Osiris looked very confused.

Nemesis thought about it, then she remembered, and it was something that couldn't be spoken of in front of Osiris.

"Um...Yeah! Yeah I'll be sure I get that to you soon!" Nemesis laughed nervously.

"Good! Thank you Nemesis!" Isis waved goodbye, but then Osiris turned to ask a question to his wife.

"Is she delivering my golden-"

"N-NO! NO SHE'S NOT! HOW COULD YOU POSSIBLY THINK THAT OSIRIS! COME INSIDE!" The winged goddess panicked, she pushed her husband through the door and into the house.

"Nemesis...please hurry and get it to me. He needs it...to...you know...be a man." Isis stuttered.

"Yeah! I'm on it!"

And with that Nemesis took off down the street, going faster than basically everything.


At the Post Office...

Nemesis blasted through the door, she walked through the building to see her partner in crime, and best friend, Mercury.

"Hey Merc! Um...I thought we were supposed to be on route already."

"Yeah we ARE supposed to. Relax, I came in late too. But we still have a chance to get going before the boss notices, she's talking to some new employee, come on!"

"New employee? Who is it?" Nemesis turned to her boss' office to go look, but Mercury stopped her.

"HEY! She might see us! We're not supposed to be in this building right now! It's some...I-I don't know! I think it's a Kami...Japanese, I'm not sure how that guys going to deliver mail, he looks too...big to deliver it quickly."

"Yeah...he looks clumsy and lazy. Ha! He's going to need a truck to deliver it, I don't see that guy walking around delivering it normally." Nemesis laughed, the two gods joked around for a few seconds before hearing the boss' voice.

"Hey! Who is that! Nemesis? Mercury? Is that you two? I swear to the heavens if that's you I'm gonna-"

"Shit! Come on! Grab your load and we're getting the fuck out!" Mercury dashed out the door in the blink of an eye, Nemesis panicked, she grabbed her bag of mail and three packages, she stuffed them into her empty back pack and dashed out the door.

The boss walked out to see that no one was there; she sighed and shook her head, then returned to her office.

"Sorry, it was just these two employees, always coming in late. Hopefully you're not like this." The boss exhaled, she straightened her name plate that was on her desk, it read Nu Wa.

"Haha! Relax! I'm going to be on time EVERY TIME! Don't worry." The Kami laughed.

"Okay...this application is almost done. So your name is Raijin...and...wait. It says here you have...super speed." Nu Wa looked up at Raijin, who smiled and slowly nodded his head.

"Are you serious? Or are you just joking around?" Nu Wa asked.

"Nope! I'm being one hundred percent real! I have super speed." Raijin smiled, his ego bigger than his biceps.

"Okay...um...how fast are you...exactly?" Nu Wa asked, suspicion was clearly in her voice.

Raijin thought about it. "Well...some of my friends would say I'm the fastest thing alive."

"Who are your friends?"

"Jing Wei, Susano, Amaterasu, Izanami, Ravana, Neith...the waitress at this restaurant I go to." Raijin responded.

"Jing Wei? It says here that the reason you are applying is because she told you to." Nu Wa raised an eyebrow.

"She works here right?" Raijin asked.

"Yes but she works later in the afternoon, she switches places with Nemesis and Mercury. I guess you can join her on her route. You're hired. Come back here at five." Nu Wa shook Raijin's hand.

The Kami left the room happy. "Yes! Not only can I work with Jing Wei, but I finally have a job! Whew...I'm pretty sure Susano was being serious about kicking me out of the house if I didn't start to help pay the rent. But Amaterasu would have convinced him...Oh well, now I can start buying my own stuff! Hell yeah!"

Raijin ran out the door and looked at his watch, it was going to be a while before five o clock, so Raijin decided to go find another job.


Chronos's Timeless Pizza...

Raijin skid in front of the door of the most notorious pizza place in the entire world, known for having the fastest delivery ever, it was always busy and needing more people to deliver.

Raijin flexed his muscles. "Welp. The world's fastest delivery is about to get way faster."

Raijin walked through the door to see mortals waiting inside, ordering pizza at the counter, paying, then leaving. There were more people answering phones than people at the cashiers.

"Yes, sir. Two pepperoni pizzas coming right up!" One human said.

"Alright, one jumbo breakfast pizza is on the way!" Another human said cheerfully.

"Very well, 14 party sized pizzas are on the way, are you sure the address is correct?" A third one said.

"Wow. That's a lot of phones."

Just then, Raijin felt a soft and young hand on his shoulder, he turned to see Jing Wei standing there, smiling.

"Hey Raijin! Did you apply for mail delivery?"

"Yeah I did! And I get to work with you as your partner! At five right?"

Jing Wei's face lit up with excitement. "Yeah! That's the time of my shift! Oh man! We're going to deliver mail faster than Nemesis and Mercury!"

"Nemesis and Mercury? Those are weird names for humans...wait. I've heard of both of those names before! They're gods! They were at the human Olympics! They've been on TV!" Raijin began to freak out.

"Yep! They're the fastest living things in the universe! Well...fastest runners. I of course still reign supreme as the fastest flyer in the universe." Jing Wei flapped her wings to show off.

"They are pretty fast...but I'm pretty sure I'm faster. Which one of those two is faster again? Didn't the girl recently beat the guy?"

"Yeah, from what I remember, a while back Nemesis actually beat Mercury in a race, taking the title of the world's fastest god." Jing Wei crossed her arms.

"Hm...I can probably beat this...Nemesis. I bet I can! I know I can!" Raijin clenched his fist with pride.

Jing Wei thought about it. "Actually...Raijin...why do you hide your speed from the world? You CAN beat both of them. I've seen how fast you are, way faster than I am. Why don't you race them?"

"Well maybe I will! But after I pay rent...I need a second job Jing Wei...you work here right? During the mornings? Can I help you?"

"Yeah sure thing! Let's ask my boss!"

Jing Wei took Raijin to the manager of the entire company, Chronos.

"Hey Chronos! Raijin here wants to work here! He has super speed! Way faster than I am!" Jing Wei cheered.

Chronos looked up at Raijin and frowned. "Him? Faster than you? We already have three super speed employees working here. I'm pretty sure this guy is not fast."

Raijin pouted. "Hey old man! I am fast! Race me!"

"Please don't embarrass yourself. I can deliver pizza before the humans even think to order." Chronos said bluntly.

"Woah. Okay then." Raijin stepped back.

"Please Chronos! Just give him a chance! Plus, we always need new people to help deliver! Sure the humans are fast with their motorcycles, but Raijin and I are way faster! Make the world's fastest pizza delivery even FASTER! Pleeeaase?" Jing Wei begged, she activated her puppy eyes, effectively convincing Chronos.

"Fine. You're hired; you can work alongside Jing Wei. I'll be watching how fast you are. Go put on a uniform and you can go out." Chronos sighed.

Raijin did as told. He slipped on the largest size red polo there was, the polo had the company's logo on it. The placed a red hat on his head and went into the bathroom to slip his khaki's.

"You look ready for pizza delivery!" Jing Wei tipped her hat, Raijin did the same.

"Alright! Let's go! Johnny, give us those 14 party pizzas! Tell them they'll be there in the next 10 seconds! WOOO!"


Five Hours Later...

Nemesis and Mercury dashed into the Post Office, they high fived and continued to laugh about whatever they were talking about.

"Were you guys late again? I'm pretty sure I saw you two still here in the morning! Did all those loads of mail get delivered?" Nu Wa asked.

"Yes ma'am! Nemesis and I delivered all of our loads! We actually finished in the first half hour, we spent the last four hours and a half messing around all over the world." Mercury chuckled.

"Huh...Of course you did. Well...at least it all got delivered. Nemesis, did you deliver that specialty package to Isis?"

"Yep! Secure and accounted for." Nemesis saluted.

"Alright good...I assume both of you have a second job to go to right about now?" Nu Wa smiled.

"We do, see ya boss!"

Mercury and Nemesis dashed out the door and made their way to the pizzeria, that was still getting phone calls.

As Nemesis and Mercury walked in, they heard Chronos laughing and complementing someone.

"Haha! You really are a wonder! That's the fastest anyone's ever delivered that much amount of pizzas! You two are amazing!"

Raijin and Jing Wei walked out of Chronos' office with smiles on their faces.

"Alright! We got a raise buddy! Woohoo! Let's go deliver some mail!" Jing Wei cheered, then she set her eyes on Nemesis and Mercury.

"Oh. Hey guys! Meet our new guy! His name is Raijin! And he's like the fastest thing in the world! He's increased out delivery time by a whole 7 seconds!"

Nemesis and Mercury looked at Raijin, who looked right back.

"So, you guys are Nemesis and Mercury."

"In the flesh." Nemesis crossed her arms.

"I hear you're fast Kami." Mercury crossed his arms as well.

"I am. Faster than both of you." Raijin crossed his arms third.

"I don't know why we're all acting like assholes." Jing Wei crossed her arms last.

"Yeah me neither. Nice to meet you guys!" Raijin reached out to the two gods, who both shook his hand.

"Hey, I saw you guys at the Post Office! No way...we all work two jobs! And we all switch jobs at five! ILLUMANTI CONFIRMED!" Raijin yelled, making everyone laugh.

"Heh...well I work three jobs bud." Nemesis added.

"Ms. Nemesis! I hear you're the fastest god! Can we please race? First to ten times around the world wins." Raijin got himself all pumped up.

"Hey! Let me join too!" Mercury cheered.

The three gods went outside, they all lined up, Jing Wei stood in front of them.

"Get ready."

Nemesis, Raijin, and Mercury got into position.

"Set."

They all narrowed their eyes and bent their legs.

"...GO!" Jing Wei flapped her wings around, as the three gods took off.

The race was quick, ten times around the world wasn't exactly hard. Nemesis was in the lead at first, then Mercury began to pull ahead as he got a sudden burst of speed. Nemesis dashed forward and was already half way done. But then out of nowhere, a light blue flash passed through both gods. The race ended in Raijin winning, completely blowing Nemesis and Mercury out of the water.

"WOOO! I WIN!" Raijin cheered, Jing Wei cheered along with him as they went off to the Post Office.

"No way. He won Nemesis! He won!" Mercury panted.

Nemesis was catching her breath, she stood up tall and clenched her fists. "Yeah...he won. Let's see if he can beat our records."


One week later...

Raijin and Jing Wei were the fastest delivery duo in the Post Office and Pizzeria, breaking their records, setting new ones, and leaving Nemesis and Mercury in second place for both. The Goddess of Vengeance found herself losing sleep, feeling slow, and agitated.

"Am...Am I jealous? Why would I be? I've never felt like this before...if someone is better than me at something than they just ARE...but I don't feel right. How can some Kami from the Japanese Pantheon be faster than me? Faster than both me AND Mercury? No...it can't be."

Nemesis was talking to herself on her bed; she had her knees up in her chest and had her head down in her arms. She looked at her bare feet for a few seconds before sprawling out on her messy and untended bed.

"No...I'm keeping my title."


During a weekend afternoon...

"Where are we going Nemesis?" Mercury followed behind Nemesis as they sped through the streets.

"We're looking for Raijin."

"What for?"

"To race him, for real this time." Nemesis said sternly.

The two gods finally found Raijin at a steak house, talking to a waitress.

"Oh you know...I just spend my time working out at the Gym ya know? Just working on my biceps and such..." Raijin showed off his muscles to the waitress, who was clearly impressed.

Nemesis and Mercury ran up behind Raijin's chair and grabbed him by the shoulders.

"Oh! It looks like you have company! I'll get back to work now...it was nice talking to you Raijin!" The Waitress smiled, she took Raijin's empty plate and walked off.

"No! D-Don't...leave...Aw come on guys! You ruined my only chance at getting at her!" Raijin put his head down and began to cry.

Nemesis rolled her eyes and lifted up Raijin's head by his hair. "Come on you tomato, we're racing again."

"Racing? What for?"

"What are races for? FOR FINDING OUT WHO'S FASTER! Now let's go!"

The three gods raced once again, and just like last time, Raijin was the winner.

"Ha...Ha...How are you so fast..." Nemesis breathed heavily on all fours, Mercury next to her sprawled out on the ground, also trying to catch his breath.

"Um...I wasn't even trying. I mean...sure it's cool that we were going faster than light. But I can go even faster. WAY...Faster."

Nemesis and Mercury looked at each other, then back at Raijin.

"We were going faster than light! You're telling me you can still go faster?!" Mercury exclaimed.

"Yeah...I can break time. Slow it, stop it, and reverse it. I can break space-time, and traverse universes and dimensions. I just don't want to accidentally do that and end up somewhere crazy, like a universe were everyone kills each other." Raijin thought about it, he'd already seen that once.

Nemesis and Mercury looked at each other.

"Both of us can do that too...just not the time-space part. We can't traverse universes and dimensions. But we can do stuff with time." Nemesis brought up.

"How can we truly race then?" Mercury wondered.

Nemesis thought about it, and then she figured it out. "Come on, follow me. I have someone who can help us."


Janus' House...

Nemesis knocked on the door of her old friend, Janus.

"Anyone home? Janus?"

A few moments later, a floating organic mechanism opened the door, it was Janus himself.

"Why hello Nemesis! I see you've brought friends as well! Come on in!"

The gods entered the house and sat down in Janus' living room.

"Would any of you guys want some tea?"

"No thanks."

"I'm good."

"Yes please!"

Janus handed Raijin a cup of tea and sat down in his own chair.

"So, what can I do to help you three today?" Janus said cheerfully.

*Camera slowly zooming in on Nemesis' face with deep music playing in the background.*

"Janus, we need some...some sort of place where we can race. A place where the laws of speed don't apply. Where time stays the same, it doesn't slow or reverse, or stop. A place where we won't enter other universes through dimensional rifts, we need...some sort of sealed dimension...with broken physics." Nemesis said sternly, everyone was looking at her, she expected Janus to ask her if she was crazy, or that it would take him a while to figure out what to do, but nothing happened, Janus smiled and was completely calm.

"So you need yourself a pocket dimension!" Janus said cheerfully, she hovered over to a small drawer and pulled out a small golden charm.

"Please, everyone gather round and touch the charm."

All four gods were touching the charm, it was as big as a grapefruit. Just then, blue lights began to erupt from the charm, and before they knew it, they were hovering in the middle of a black void.

"AAHH! Where are we?!" Raijin yelled, he was floating. "Ooh. I can fly."

"Ugh, this void is so ugly. Here, let me fix that."

Janus reached out with his hand, suddenly, the gods were floating in the middle of a beautiful universal scenery, fake galaxies and stars everywhere, dust clouds and nebula's, supernovas and black holes.

"And you're going to need and infinite race track, am I right?"

Janus extended out his entire arm, instantly creating and infinite track, made of seemingly nothing that was real, it was rainbow, and it felt like a newly waxed basketball court to step on.

"Woah! This reminds me of this one level on Stereo Kart!" Raijin laughed.

The three gods lined up once more, ready to go all in.

"First to a specific amount of Teraparsecs wins!"

"Ready...Set...GO!" Janus shouted, and the three gods were off.

Mercury with an early speed of light lead, but Nemesis quickly caught up behind him. She blasted past Mercury in the form a purple blur, but then out of nowhere, Raijin dashed up ahead of both gods, white sparks flying behind him.

"Holy crap!" Mercury yelled, he sped up, further ahead of Nemesis.

"Hmph...time to go my full speed."

Nemesis suddenly boosted ahead of everyone, her legs moving insanely fast. She was moving three times the speed of light, she looked behind her, and no one was there.

"I knew I was faster...I knew it."

Just then, Raijin came up next to Nemesis, white rings surrounding him.

"Hi Nemesis! BYE NEMESIS!"

Raijin blasted ahead of Nemesis, and for the next 2 minutes of straight running at multiple times the speed of light, no one saw Raijin.

The race was over.

Janus used his portal to get to Raijin, he congratulated the Kami. Nemesis and Mercury stood and watched, salty as ever.

"Gh...No...How can it be...the Japanese Pantheon...five gods...and one of them is faster than I am?! NO! I WON'T LET THAT HAPPEN!"

Nemesis suddenly became engulfed with rage and jealousy, she dashed forward and grabbed Raijin by the collar, she lifted him up into the air and then threw him several feet away.

"HOW?! HOW DO YOU DO IT! HOW ARE YOU SO FAST?!" Nemesis yelled. Raijin cowering in fear, clearly startled.

Mercury grabbed Nemesis. "Woah! Woah! Nemesis! What's gotten into you?! Calm down!"

"Yes Nemesis. You'd better calm yourself down. You are letting your pride get the better of you." Janus said calmly.

Nemesis suddenly calmed, tears filled her eyes. "O-Oh...Oh my gosh! Rajin! I'm so sorry! Please...Please forgive me...I let my arrogance control me...I'm sorry..."

Nemesis helped Raijin get back on equal footing, even though Raijin was much taller than her.

"Aw...it's fine Nem, I know how it feels to lose to someone else at something you thought you were so good at..." Raijin said with a warm smile, he engulfed Nemesis with a bear hug.

Nemesis wiped her tears away, she looked up at the Kami. "But...Raijin...I...I still want to race you. Please?"

Raijin looked at the adorable goddess, he smiled and nodded his head.

"Do...Do you need some time or something?" Raijin asked.

Nemesis thought about it, she then nodded her head.

"Yes...give me one week to train. Next Saturday, we meet up at Janus' place at dusk, and we race. Right here in this pocket dimension." Nemesis grinned.

"I...Nemesis, the Fastest runner in the World, challenge you Raijin, to a race...to see who is the fastest...God...of all." Nemesis grinned, she extended out her hand.

Raijin firmly shook her hand and smirked. "I, Raijin, the Fastest thing alive, accept your challenge!"

Janus and Mercury watched as two random gods who were just getting to know each other, created a friendship, and a powerful rivalry. Neither god would hold back, it was going to be...The Race...of the Century."
