I do not own any of the characters on this story, nor the portrayal of the deities reflects the views and or beliefs of the writer, this was written with the purpose of entratainment
Kaette kudasai Akutsu-san belongs to Taichi Nagaoka
7000000 years long history of mankind is coming to an end
Was the cause a nuclear warfare? asteroid collision? or maybe an alien invasion?
NO!
In the hallways leading up to an auditorium chamber, two ladies were there
-"I-It's about to start, sis" the shortest one, known as Goll, the youngest of the 13 Valkyries said nervously
Her elder sister, Brühilde, the eldest of the 13 Valkyries gave no answer, she kept looking ahead
Mankind is being threatened to its total destruction, by none other than the will of its own creators. The "gods"
Inside this auditorium, there were many rows with different gods seating, talking among each other
A small old man walked towards the center of the auditorium, his chair being guarded by a pet dragon. After stroking it a few times, he took his seat
-"Well, then" the old man said while hitting his gavel, drawing everyone attention, which they did, no one dared questioning him "It's been 1000 years since we last gathered here" the chairman of the Council of Valhalla, and head of the Greek pantheon, known as Zeus said "Let us start the conference, shall we?"
Once every 1000 years, gods across the realms gather to hold a conference
The conference for the survival of mankind
-"Wow" the young valkyrie known as Goll said amazed "The gods are all gathering here" she looked at her elder sister "What an amazing spectacle! right, sis?"
Yet again, no answer, Brühilde just kept looking, her face a mix of determination and worry
-"Regarding the survival of mankind for the next 1000 years" Zeus said as he held two signs "Should we forgive them?" he showed the circle sign "or" he showed the x sign "should we just put an end to them" he looked at his fellow gods with an intense gaze "Show me the will of the gods"
One god lifted a an x sign, he had light purple skin, three eyes, wearing a bandana covering part of his hair and darkish yellow pants
"Heere!" the god Shiva, head from the hindu pantheon said "Let's just give them the doomsday already" he sounded rather bored "From what Ive seen for the past 1000 years, mankind doesnt have any intention to repent at all, they are consumed by greed, jealousy, anger, all selfish indeed" he displayed an image of wars and its destruction "Trying to guide them is such a pain in the ass"he rolled over his cushion "Once weve erased them all, let's try evolving some other animal this time!"
-"N-o way" Goll said, rather shocked "How could he"
-"True" a female voice said, she was a beautiful woman with blond hair and a voluminous body, her breast particularly being held by two muscular men, she was Aphrodite, from the Greek pantheon "Seas are filled with waste and oils. Forests are gone and living beings have become extinct one after another" she grinned in an arrogant way "So to speak, mankind is the most dangerous cancer on Earth, a disaster that will bring earth to its destruction, isn't that true?"
One by one, the gods agreed with her, or made a similar comment
Mankind was dangerous, they only care about destroying everything, they didn't love their planet, nor one another, they only love themselves
More and more signs with the X were raised
An unanimous decision was reached, mankind was gonna be destroyed immediately
-"Hmm" Zeus said, raising his gavel "I guess, we have come to an agreement. Then" he began to lower his gavel "The end of mankind is decid"
-"Please wait a second!" Brunhilde yelled
All the gods looked at the direction of her voice, questioning why a valkyrie was stopping them
-"W-What in the world are you doing sis?" Goll said, completely terrified
-"Pardon my intrusion, furious gods" Brünhilde said "There is one thing I have to say"
-"Mind your manners, Brünhilde!" a squeaky voice said
It came from a white crow, resting on the left shoulder of a tall old-man wearing an eye patch
He was Odin, head of the Nordic pantheon
-"How dare you open your filthy mouth in the conference of the gods" the black crow resting on Odins right shoulder yelled
Choosing to ignore them, Brühilde continued "It is true that mankind is unbearably vulgar, violent, and has no love. But to destroy them like that, isn't that a bit… boring"
That part got the gods full on attention
-"Whether the survival of mankind has any value or not… with the might and mercy of the gods… why don't we test them?"
The auditorium went crazy, asking what kind of test she had in mind
And her answer was
-"Gods vs mankinds final struggle… Ragnarok"
The gods went silent upon hearing that
Brunhilde got a book out
-"Valhalla constitution. Article 62, explained in paragraph 15 of the super special clause. 1 vs 1 showdown between gods and mankind"
With 13 combatants for each side, the first side to achieve seven victories wins. Of course, the moment mankind loses 7 times, their fate is decided. In the unlikely event that mankind wins 7 times first, they will be allowed to survive for another 1000 years. However, this law has never been applied since the creation of mankind
The reason for that is
Because there is no way for mankind to possibly win against the gods
Thus, this super special clause was enacted as a mere joke
and indeed a joke was for the gods, some laugh, some called into question the valkyries idea
-"So" Brünhilde said,not surprised "The will of the gods is to destroy mankind, and also… to avoid direct confrontation with humans, am i right?"
This got them quiet
She put a hand on her chin, and playfully added "We want to destroy mankind without fighting them. We don't want to be put in the same ring as them"
She let that sink in
-"Hmm… dont tell me" she looked down on them "Are you chickening out?"
No answer
-"If so, then i did an unnecessary thing" she mockingly apologized "Go ahead then. Don't listen to me" she kept on taunting them, despite her sisters pleas
-"Fufufu"
-"Hahaha"
-"Kakaka"
little by little, the room was filled with the god's laughter, but it was not a happy one
To insult the will of the gods, to call their power and authority into question
and worse, to ask them if they were chickening out
That triggered them
as Brünnhilde planned
-"Hohoho" Zeus said, placing his hand on the pet dragon "Ragnarok huh… quite an interesting proposal" he started to applied more force on the pet dragon, squeezing it slowly "Well said, your proposal, was an absolute fucking" he smashed the dragon head on the floor, splattering blood all over the surrounding area "UNIT"
-"Besides" he continued "Dont you think it's been a long time since we have seen" his face was covered in blood, and his twisted tongue was licking in a sadistic way "The might of the gods!"
He looked at his fellow gods
-"Everybody! what do you think? Shall we hold a showdown between the gods and mankind" he slammed his fist as a gavel, making it official
No one dared question him, at least among the lower class gods, those of the higher class agreed, this was a great opportunity
To show humanity how puny is
The showdown between gods and mankind, Ragnarok, was decided
-"Brünhilde" he said to the Valkyrie "Ill leave it up to you to choose those who will represent humanity… Try to make it interesting"
She only bowed and left, followed by her terrified yet relieved younger sister
-"We have to choose the 13 most powerful humans in the 7 millions years of mankind history… But not just powerful by their raw strength, but their wit, their kindness, their intelligence… Their love" she thought, then she felt her younger sister grabbing her hand
-"Why did you do that? Why did you object to the will of the gods and make them angry?! Youre just asking to get killed
Her elder sister let out a small sigh "Goll, youre an apprentice Valkyrie, so you might not understand this yet" she closed her eyes "The bond between mankind and us, valkyries, are deeper than those of the gods" she kept walking forward "There is no way I can just abandon them"
-"Sis" Goll was touched, and went to catch up with her "But, can mankind really win?! How can they stand to the power of the gods?! I mean, I don't even know who can we choose as the first representative"
-"Calm down, Goll"
They reached Brünhilde chambers, using her powers, she displayed a file containing the images of different humans
-"Ive already decided on our vanguard" he touched the image of a particular young man
-"Him?" Goll asked "Do you think he has a chance?"
-"I am positive" Brünhilde replied confidently "If there is one man who can withstand the initial charge of the gods, is someone who withstands the constant charges of the person he loves the most"
The Valhalla´s arena, the most majestic field in the heavens
Similar to a colosseum, this is where the 13 upcoming battles will take place
The stands, filled with humans on the right side, and gods on the left side
There were also VIP balconies, reserved for the gods of the highest level like Zeus, Odin, Shiva, among others
A short man with a robot-like face and a green hooded cloak that covers the rest of his head, though some black, slicked-back hair is visible from the front. He sports a pair of protective goggles, similar to those worn by airplane pilots in World War One. He wears medieval fur pants and striped shoes.
While his face is metallic, the rest of his body appears to be organic.
It was Heimdall, The Watchman of the Apocalypse
-"This is the moment that Ive been waiting for ages!" Heimdall could not contain his excitement "The moment to blow this Gjallarhorn!" The time to open the curtain of Ragnarok is drawing near! Are you ready for this?!"
The public cheered in vigor
-"The rule is simple! Fight to death. That's it! The winner is decided by the complete annihilation of the other side! giving up is not allowed, nor forfeiting the match to the opponent, and knocking down the opponent unconscious wont work! It's a fight till only one side remains"
-"It's about time" Goll gulped "Sis"
Brünhilde only looked towards the arena, though that didn't stop her from sweating nervously
-"The first fight!" Heimdall said "Introducing the first fighter for the gods who will try to claim victory"
The door for the gods side open, revealing fully mature male of decent height with a beard and curly hair, he weared nothing but a red military cloak, plumed helm, and cuirass adorned with a gorgoneion, which lay bared his well formed body to anyone who sees him
-"Coming all the way from the majestic Roman pantheon, it's him!" Heimdall said
The god started to walk into the arena
-"He is the embodiment of rage, passion, destruction, and war. But he's not a bloodthirsty meat-head, no no no, hes a full believer that only through conflict can the world achieve peace!"
He stood in the arena, deploying his trusty spear, which was wrapped in a laurel
-"Hes the son of Jupiter and Juno, protector of the city known as Rome. He is the god… MARS!"
Mars stood proudly, an expression that shown no emotion, keeping a cool head was important
The public cheered at the arrival of their first representative
-"Th-They sure aren't holding back" Goll said with a nervous chuckle
-"And neither we are" Brünhilde said
-"And now" Heimdall said "To introduce the first fighter for humanity"
The door for humanitys side opened, revealing a young man with messy black hair, he was thin, though his arms did look a little bulked up, he wore nothing but a redshirt below a white long sleeve shirt, black pants and black shoes, but what stood the most were his gloves, there were golden with black stripes
One look at him was enough to tell he didn't look like much
-"A solitary young man by nature, he would prefer to stay in home rather than outside" Heimdall said "However, there's nothing he won't do for his beloved one, even if it means putting himself in danger, or risking his sanity by putting up with all her shenanigans"
This young man, only 17, entered the arena
-"An embodiment of love and consideration for others, he is… Kota Ooyama!"
Ooyama stood right the arena, gulping nervously
-"How did this happen?" he thought to himself
There was silence from both the gods and humans, clearly, they were not expecting this
-"He´s our first fighter?!" a human said
-"He's nothing but a kid" another human said
-"Hahahaha! It's that the best you have, humans?" a god from the gods sided mocked
-"SHUT UP!" a female voice said, slamming her hands, getting everyone quiet "Or I'll kick your asses!"
This young woman had long blond brownish hair, a beautiful figure, though the 0 patience grimace she had to people making fun of Ooyama showed, she was Akutsu Riko "Ooyama, go kick his ass!"
To this, Ooyama could not help but blush
The god Mars let out a sigh
-"Moving on" Heimdall said "The god Mars versus the young Kota Ooyama, the first fight for Ragnarok starts" with a signal from his hand, Heimdall marked the beginning of the first fight "FIGHT!"
-"Listen, kid!" Mars said
-"Y-Yes?" Ooyama said nervously
Preparing his spear, Mars grinned "Try to at least endure one"
Without further warning, the god bent his knees and jumped straight towards the young human
-"Ek!" Ooyama said as he saw the god right above him
-"Here goes" charging his spear forward, he impaled it right where Ooyama was "WOODPECKER'S BEAK!"
The tip of the spear hit the ground, releasing a powerful charge that shattered the ground, forming cracks in the surrounding areas and leaving a cloud of dust that covered the battlefield
Just the wind generated by this impact was enough to send anyone flying, receiving it head on was a sure sign of defeat
-"Aaaaand… it's done" the god Shiva said, rather bored
-"Totally expected" one of Odin's crows added
-"An amazing demonstration of power by Mars!" Heimdall said "But what about Ooyama?"
Once the dust cleared, what everybody saw had them surprised
Ooyama was standing a couple of feet away from the destruction, completely undamaged, despite the look of fear he had
-"W-What the hell?! This is dangerous!" he said between breaths
-"Huh" Shiva said, slightly curious
-"My, My" Zeus said surprised
-"Would you look at that?" Mars said, grinning "So, you dodged it? Not bad, you have reflexes"
-"Um, thanks" Ooyama said, somewhat embarrassed
-"But i said endure it, dodging alone won't get you nowhere"
And so, he charged at him once more, preparing the same attack
-""WOODPECKER'S BEAK!" the god claimed
The same charing spear came at Ooyama, only this time, he didn't try to dodge
What he did had everyone shocked
-"What the?!" Goll expressed what everybody else was thinking
Ooyama held the spear by its tip, making it stop on its tracks, leaving Mars hanging in the air, like he was being held by a stick
-"In the name of Rome, how are you?"
But before he could finish his question, Ooyama looked at him
-"Sorry I have to do this" he said with genuine regret
What happened next was gonna be saved on history records, regardless of the results of the fight
Placing both hands on the handle of the spear, Ooyama started to spin in circles, concentrating more strength
-"U-Unbelievable!" Heimdall said despite the lack of words "Ooyama not only stopped Mars attack, but now he is making the god spin in the air while holding his lance, just what is he doing?"
To answer the question, after spinning a number of times, Ooyama released the spear, with the god still holding it
The momentum accumulated sent the god flying towards the wall of the arena, crushing into it
-"Gwah!" Mars coughed blood, the impact of landing against the wall, which was cracked by the attack, causing damage, he could feel the pain rising though his back
Disbelief, amazement, fear, hope
All these feelings filled the arena, both in humans and gods sides
-"I… I cannot believe what my eyes are seeing" Heimdall said, sweating nervously "Somehow, Ooyama stopped the attack of Mars, and sent him flying towards the wall… and now"
Mars stood up, blood dripping from his lips, and a few bruises on his back
-"The first one to have taken damage in Ragnarok, was none other than god Mars, at the hands of a human!"
Despite those words being said, it was hard for them to reach the ears of the public
-"H-how?" Goll said "Sister, how did Ooyama?"
To this, Brünhilde smiled confidently
-"I want you to pay close attention to this, Goll, because you are witnessing a change in history… a change made possible, through the power of Völundr"
Suddenly, a device similar to a cell phone started to sound, it came from Brünhildes pocket
-"Hey!" Goll said "Youre not supposed to use your phone during the show"
Brünhilde checked the message, and its contents sends the eldest of the Valkyries eyes wide in shock
-"Sis?"
-"It's here" she showed her phone to her younger sister "The list of combatants for Ragnarok"
Goll felt a shiver through her body "T-This is it? The 26 names that will decide everything? And the countdown to decide the fate of humanity… To all humanity, these are… the final 13"
