-"An easy life, you say?" Shiva asked, not understanding what Sakurai meant
-"Yeah" the young fighter replied "Having to fight like this to the death. If it wasn't because all of our lives are at stake, I would have refused"
-"Now, why do you say that? Isn't this the best spectacle ever?! No restraints! leaving all we have on the field!"
-"Cant say I see the appeal"
Shiva shrugged "Oh well, wont stop me. Now then" he dashed at the warrior
-"Crap!" Sakurai was caught off guard
The god put his two upper hands behind Sakurais head
-"Let go!" the young fighter tried to grabbed the gods wrists
But
He felt his own wrists being held
-"Huh?"
-"Now" Shiva used his lower hands to stop Sakurais hand from moving "Lets raise a little hell, shall we?"
The God pushed his opponent's face downwards towards his knee
Sakurai could feel his nose breaking as it collided against the devastating blow of the Hindu God
-"Blagh!" Sakurai stumbled back
-"How about this?!" the god proceeded to spin, delivering a heel kick against his opponent cheek
-"Glack!" Sakura was sent towards the ground
-"Senpai!" Uzaki yelled concerned from the stands
-"Impressive!" Heimdall said "With just two attacks, Shiva has reverted the situation!"
The gods cheered for him
However, trembling as he did so, Sakurai stood up once more, blood dripping from his nose, and a bruise on his cheek
-"Ngh" he clenched his teeth
-"You still stand? Good" the god said, somewhat impressed "I was worried I finished this too early"
-"Damn it" Sakurai rushed at the god, trying to get a hold at him
-"No, you wont" Shiva grabbed him by the right wrist
-"Take this!" Sakurai tried to grabbed him with his other hand, which was also restrained
-"Now it's my turn!" with his two lower fists, Shiva landed to blows on Sakurais stomach
-"Uff" Sakurai could feel the pain, as well as the air leaving his lungs
-"Is that really the best you can do?" Shiva asked, sounded disappointed
-"Crap, I just can't get a hold of him"
-"Come on, Shinichi!" his father called from the stands
-"Old man!?" Sakurai looked at him
-"Oh?" Shiva was curious
-"I mean, at least try to put up a challenge, or should I go and take your place? Hahahaha"
-"Ngh!" Sakurai could feel a vein pulsating
-"Good, that's just what he needed!" for some reason, his father sounded pleased
-"I am not done yet!" he jumped at the god
-"Huh?" Shiva was caught off guard by the speed he came at
-"Take this!" with the same glow as before, Sakurai delivered a kick against the god face "Kick the old man in the face!"
-"Ngh" Shiva felt the strength of his opponents kick pushing against his face. It was strong enough to send him flying "Blagh!" he coughed some blood
Using his hands, he grabbed himself off the ground to steered himself, landing on his knees as he did so
-"Heh" Shiva was now the one with a bruise on his face "Not bad"
-"About time I landed a hit"
Humanity cheered for him
-"Sakurai-san is starting to reverse the situation!" Goll said
-"Agree" Brünhilde said "And thats not all"
-"Eh?"
-"He finally realized he has to accept it"
-"Accept what?"
-"Now, I am not familiar with Judo" Shiva said as he stood up "But I am pretty sure a kick in the face isn't a move in there"
-"It worked with the old man. I figured it should work here too"
-"Are you really gonna name that kick after the time you kicked me, you little!?" his father said, somewhat offended
-"You were the one who brought it up!" Sakurai yelled back, he then took a deep breath to calm himself down "However, I know what I must do now"
-"What are you talking about?"
-"I realized now, that to defeat you" his face was full of a calm yet fierce determination
-"That face" Uzaki thought
-"I must leave my comfort zone"
At the same time the fight was happening, Sakuta was talking to Buddha
-"Buddha?" Sakura said surprised "As in, the Buddha?"
-"The one and only. Well, Siddhartha Gautama if you want to be technical, but that name is too long"
-"I see. You look completely different from the way books and internet describe you"
-"Yeah, Ive seen some of those pictures. Not too shabby if I do say so myself"
-"I suppose, but anyway, what do you mean you are on our side?"
-"Hmmm, let me answer that with a question of my own" he looked at the young warrior, sounding serious for the first time since they met "What has Brü-chan told you about Völundr?"
-"It's the way in which a Valkyrie turns into a weapon for a human to use"
-"Yeah, that's the easy way to put it, but it goes beyond that"
-"What do you mean?"
-"Your friends probably realized this during their fights. Völundr happens through the power of Common Destiny"
-"Common Destiny?"
-"If two people forfeit each other's lives and put them on the same wavelength, it will create the weapon, as well as bring out the ones full potential"
-"On the same wavelength" Sakura repeated "That's why when Ooyama and Nega died, their weapons were gone. When they died, so did the valkyries they teamed up with"
-"Exactly, you are betting your life on the other, and when one dies, so does the other. The same happens if you live, take your friends Kazuya and Miyuki for instance. They won and survived, and the valkyries most likely have returned to their original forms, ending the Völundr. I should also add that it can be called off at any time, so long as both parties agree to it"
-I see" Sakuta put a hand on his "Brünhilde-san certainly kept that hidden from us, all she said was that we would partner up with the valkyries to get weapons, and that was it, no matter how much we asked"
-"Oh, Brü-chan" the god facepalmed "You and your secrets, no wonder you looked so mysterious when you came to aske"
-"Huh?" Sakuta was confused
-"Oh, right, I almost forgot. You see, she came to asked me all of that, and this was just before the meeting in which they decided to hold Ragnarok took place"
Sakutas eyes went wide "Are you saying?"
-"That she has been planning this for quite some time? Yeap, that's what I think"
The Rascal Lover felt disturbed, first Lokis warning, and now this?
-"As for why she would do that?" Buddha continued "I unfortunately have no idea"
-"Me neither"
-"I mean, I do have one theory, but I need to do some investigation first"
They could hear the cheers from the public
-"The 5th fight" Sakuta said
-"Youre worried about your friends, right?" Buddha said "Go to watch the fight. Plus, you better inform them of this"
-"What about you?"
-"Ill see what I can dig up, you and the others focus on winning your fights, regardless of Brü-chans intentions, the gods won't back down if they win Ragnarok" he turned around, and began to walk away, waving a phone as he did so "We'll be in touch, Saku-chan"
-"Wait, Buddha"
-"Hm?"
-"Why are you helping us? I mean, youre a god, shouldnt you want us dead?"
-"...The only one that can move me, on Heaven or Earth, is me"
-"Eh?"
-"It means that If I chose to help you, it's because I want to, simple as that"
To this, Sakuta smiled "Thank you"
-"Don't mention it, and Ill be sure to return before your match starts, see ya"
And he was gone
Sakuta returned to his room. Once he sent the info to the others, he turned on the TV to watch the match
And he could not believe what he saw
-"What the?"
Back at the fight
-"Leave your comfort zone?" Shiva repeated, not understanding what his opponent meant
-"Thrud-san" Sakurai said to the valkyrie deep within him
-"I know, youre finally ready" she smiled "Let's do this!"
Suddenly, all of Sakurais body began to shine in a golden glow
-"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" he yelled
-"Just what's going on with Sakurai?!" Heimdal asked
-"Sis, what's happening to Sakurai-san?!" Goll asked
-"He is finally going to release it" she answered
-"Release it?"
-"Deep within him there is a side of him that's always been hidden. The feelings he has always store, whether out of fear or discomfort, but, everytime he pushes himself out of his comfort zone, the chains holding him loosen up. and now" She felt proud "It is time for him to break those chains!"
-"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" he kept on yelling
Shiva struggled to understand what was going on
Until finally, Sakurais jacket teared into pieces, leaving his bare chest and arms exposed
The glow subsided, Sakurai took a deep breath "We did it, Thrud-san"
Sakurai was covered by the tattoo of a dragon wrapping his arms and chest
-"A strange dragon mark has taken over Sakurais body!" Heimdall said shocked "What could it mean?"
-"So, it seems you were hiding some sort of power, weren't you?" Shiva asked "Not that it's going to make a difference" he then charged at the warrior, throwing a fist
Which was caught by Sakurais hand
-"Huh?" the god was surprised
-"Here goes" with both of his hands, Sakurai grabbed him by his arm, and began to pull him towards him
-"What the"
Lifting the god over his back, Sakurai began to pull harder from his arm
-"Here goes"
-"Ngh" Shiva felt as if his arm was
-"Seoi Nage: Two arm Shoulder Throw!"
He let go of the god, who was send flying against the wall, crashing it with great strength
-"My goodness!" Heimdall was astonished "Somehow, Sakurai managed to lift Shiva once more, and threw him against the wall, but that's not all"
Shiva stood up, feeling immense pain "You little"
Blood was dripping from where his previous down left arm had been
-"He managed to remove one of Shivas arms, now, the chief of the Hindu Pantheon is down to only 3!"
Humanity cheered for its warrior
-"He… He tore off one of Shiva-sans arms" Goll was in disbelief "How did he do that?"
-"It is thanks to him releasing his hidden beast" Brünhilde said "He has gained access to a newfound strength. Plus, the assist of Thrud, who has a unique property reflected in the translation of her name, which means "The Strong One"
-"What do you mean?"
-"Thanks to Thrud, Sakurai was able to release the dragon he has kept hidden all the time, and it has led him to gain more power"
-"That is so amazing! Now he can fight on par with Shiva-san!"
-"Yes… However"
Shiva let out a chuckle "Been a while since I throw like that, not bad at all, human"
-"Thanks"
He then clench his teeth in pain
-"Sakurai-san was able to call forth his hidden strength" Brünhilde thought "But it does not change the fact that the sudden release is taking its toll on him. if it weren't for Thrud, his body would have broken down already"
-"I see what you mean when leaving your comfort zone" Shiva continued, he was smiling despite the pain "Youve been pushed forward before, haven't you?"
-"Yeah" he looked at his loved ones "They have pushed me harder to become a better person"
-"Is that so? It seems you and I have something in common after all"
-"What do you mean?" Sakurai asked confused
-"I carry the hopes of 1116 Gods upon me. Which is why" his heart began to beat faster "I'm not gonna lose to anybody!"
His body began to sweat as his heart kept beating faster by the second
-"What is he doing?!" Sakurai thought
-"So" someone from the stands said, he was a well muscled man with hair pointed up with two braids. His pants are baggy and airy and he has no shoes "He's finally getting serious"
He was Rudra, Shivas best friend
Shivas heart kept beating faster, his body beginning to hyperventilate
-"W-What is he doing?" Ares asked, somewhat terrified
-"Would you look at that?" Zeus said "Who would have thought a human could force him to that point?"
-"Ha…Ha" Shiva was breathing heavily, as his bodys temperature kept rising "Let's do this… Tandava Karma (Samsara War Dance - Ashes)!"
Shivas skin began to combust, changing from its purple color to a dark red, as he was burning. His remaining 3 fists, as well as his 2 legs, were engulfed in blue flames
-"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" he yelled out
He was ready
His body began to emanate steam, his surrounding beginning to scorch
It was like he was a walking fire
-"Now, human…" he smiled confidently "Let's continue"
Shiva jumped high to the sky, and as he was falling down, he brought alongside a powerful kick while simultaneously combusting his feet
Sakurai tried to lift his arms to protect himself, but the speed Shiva was falling was faster than him
-"Krittivasa (Flaming Tiger Claw Dance)!"
Using his kick, Shiva sliced at Sakurais face and chest, leaving a big cut as he went down
-"Argh!" Sakurai felt the pain as his skin was burnt and cauterized, leaving an ugly scar on him
-"Talk about hot!" Heimdall said "Shivas powerful kick has turned the tables once more"
-"Damn, that's way too hot for my like" Sakurai held his injured face and chest
-"Well? What'd ya think?" Shiva felt cocky "Did my dance get you fired up?"
In an unknown lab, full of computers, test tubes, and all sorts of devices. there he was
A tall man with unkempt messy hair and deep black eyes was sitting on a chair. He wears a black shirt with a purple sash-like cloth on each side of his shoulder reaching all the way to his thighs. That along with his shirt is being tied tightly with a black rope to his waist. He also wears baggy black leggings and a pair of laced mid-calf boots. And his eyes, which emanate a deep darkness, had dark bags below
He was sitting in front of a big test tube, who had a strange creature inside of it
Until said creature broke free from the glass. He took a looked at said man
Using his arm, the creature went for him
However, in the blink of an eye, the arm was cut off
-"It appears I will have to dispose of you as well" the an coldly said
Feeling terrified, the creature ran towards the exit
Until it was impaled by a bident
The owner of said bident was a tall and handsome man with a specially-designed eyepatch on his right eye and long, stylish silver hair that spikes up at various spots on his head.
He's shown with a leaf-like pattern tattooed across his forehead, a spiked choker necklace lined, and a bead-like earring on his left ear with many smaller piercings. His attire is shown to be quite formal and extravagant, with a collar that spans all the way to his upper chest, and badges decorated on the left and right side of his coat. Finally, he wears long white jeans and a pair of shoes filled with square patterns.
-"Seriously?" this man said as he removed his bident from the creature, leaving its body to decompose "Youre still with this, Beelzebub?"
Beelzebub, also known as the Lord of the Flies… or the Cursed God
And a future representative of the gods for Ragnarok
-"Been a while" he said while typing something on his keyboard "Hades-san"
Hades, the King of Helheim, the Underworld
-"What are you doing?" Hades asked
-"Just working on my side projects" Beelzebub was smiling creepily "Until I can create something that can kill me"
To this dark comment, Hades let out a sigh
-"Changing the topic, I came here because I need your help with something"
-"What is it?"
He gave the dark god a test tube with some blood on it
-"What is this?"
-"The blood of whoever attacked Poseidon's castle" Hades said
That got Beelzebubs attention
-"Attacking Poseidon's castle? He/she is incredibly brave, or stupid"
-"Be that as it may, their target was not Poseidon, but rather, one of the relics thats being kept there. Unfortunately, they got away with the relic, Poseidon was barely able to land an attack on the thief"
-"I see, I can only imagine Poseidon-sans rage. Ill look into it to see whose blood it is"
-"Thank you"
On the big screen in the lab, the match between Shiva and Sakurai was being displayed
-"Are you not watching the fight?" Hades asked
-"There's no need, it's obvious whos gonna win. Plus, from what little I have seen from the previous fighters from humanity" he got back to his keyboard, beginning to check the blood "None of them are capable of killing me"
Hades let out a frustrated sigh
-"Ill let you know once I have results"
And with that, the King left
And thats the end of that, both warriors are finally getting serious
As for Buddha and Sakuta, they are at a lost, jsut what is Brünhilde planning? We also get Beelzebub, one whose fight I look foward to write
