Opening File: Ragnarok
In Norse mythology, Ragnarök is a series of events, including a great battle, foretold to lead to the death of a number of great figures including the gods Odin, Thor, Týr, Freyr, Heimdallr, and Loki, natural disasters and the submersion of the world in water. After these events, the world will resurface anew and fertile, the surviving and returning gods will meet and the world will be repopulated by two human survivors. Ragnarök is an important event in Norse mythology and has been the subject of scholarly discourse and theory in the history of Germanic studies.
In reality Ragnarök is a doomsday event in Asgardian lore that prophesies the destruction of Asgard and the end of the Asgardian Empire. The general sequence of events for Ragnarok was once relayed by Volla the prophetess. According to her, Ragnarok will be preceded by two major events.
First, a bitter, unrelenting winter known as the Fimbul Winter, will blanket Asgard, causing widespread fear and paranoia. Driven to the point of madness by the oncoming Ragnarok, infighting will break out across the land, with friend attacking friend, and brother attacking brother. Secondly, Loki will trick the blind god Hoder into killing Balder with a mistletoe.
Heimdall will sound his horn, officially signaling the beginning of Ragnarok. An army of Trolls and Giants lead by Loki will charge across the Bifrost on their way to Asgard. After destroying the rainbow bridge, Heimdall will be swallowed by the invading horde. Odin will lead a counterattack and a final, cataclysmic battle will begin.
As Asgard crumbles around them, Thor and Loki will meet each other in combat for one final time, but their fight will be interrupted by the sudden appearance of the Midgard Serpent. Though Thor will succeed in slaying the Midgard Serpent, the whole realm of Asgard will be torn asunder, leaving it in ruins. From Muspelheim will rise Surtur, the fire demon, who will proceed to burn what remains of Asgard to cinders.
After untold eons, a new race of gods will rise, ushering in a new golden age.
When Thor died in battle it was believed this prophecy had been averted but as news of his reincarnation spread, it is possible Ragnorak will begin after all…

"If the end of the world were to happen what would you do on your very last day? Some would pray for miracle, others might accept the end and do something. Sketch the last sunset, confess your feelings to your secret love, carry out a fantast you have had since you were little in an effort to experience that last bit of joy that comes from accomplishing anything." TOM remarked as the file closed. "Whatever it is you want to do in life make sure you find the time to do. Every second counts."

"Captain, we picked up another Germ warp-signature in the Sol System!" A female alien crew member alerted Captain Gantu who sat in his chair while on patrol to discover what was going on by the Council's orders.
"Is it heading towards Earth?" Gantu asked, getting up from his chair to the officers, to be certain.
"Affirmative. Tracking their signature." A mole-like alien reported to him, displaying an image of a green vessel.
Gantu narrowed his eyes and was able to see the ship up close. "That's an Emerald ship. Whatever reason they are here, we'll find out once they're in orbit. Set course for the planet. The moment they try to jump to warp our jammers will shut down their engines. We'll remind them that this galaxy isn't under their authority and what we think when they bend the rules by trespassing on a planet under the Alliance's protection."
He had to be cautious because a while ago, the Earth's newest colony from the data files was under attack by an unknown threat but vanished before they arrived to end the conflict. He was not certain what happened but they had detected traces of dimensional tears before they closed up around Earth. The closes description the colonists describe were creatures known as the Glorft, but that didn't make any sense since there aren't any Glorft settlements in this part of the galaxy and the mere mention of mechs was beyond their capabilities. However, they were known for their common raids on outer Gem colonies and one of the species who became nomads or homeless by the Gems' actions. One of the many reasons he does not like the Gems is not only that they look down on anything organic and lack of regards of their actions for harvesting planets to make more of themselves, but also their reckless cause for making enemies everywhere and making more problems for the Stellar Alliance and its allies across the known space.
Whether they seem to be aware of this or not, but to others like him, the Gems are nothing but trouble for all civilizations unless somehow they change their ways.
It would be a miracle if that ever happened.
It didn't escape the fact that this attack on the Gem Empire could happen again, or somewhere else like the perhaps the Galra according to some rumors he's been hearing and the sudden crises within the Cybertronian's rivals, the Halcyon Worlds. Concerns have been growing within the government to remain alert and strengthen security across the allied territories, especially their newest allies the Gaia Union who had been keen to send some of theirs to watch over it to help.
"Wait, picking up some life forms, several appear Gems from the planet's moon, but... getting a mixed bio-signature on one of them." The officer said, locking on to the coordinates of the signatures. "I'm picking up... Humans? They appear to be in orbit but could be pulled away from the planet's moon any moment."
"Keep a close watch on the vessel, send in the Plumbers to round up the Gems and a rescue team. I want that ship traced and be ready to give them a simple greeting. But no hostile actions unless they fire first, the last thing we need right now is a war against the Gems." Gantu ordered as he does not trust them but would rather think of ways to avoid conflict with their neighbors right now.
"Right away, sir."
Unless given permission to land on the planet's surface, he could find out where those aliens came from another time.

"Johnny!" Bunny screamed, seeing her baby boy vanish into the clouds where there was a blast of lightning….
And for a second everyone thought he might have been killed by the lightning.
Just as Major Glory was about to end the match and go down to give E-Male a piece of his mind there was another blast of lightning from inside the storm clouds, one that spread out and blew the clouds away.
Johnny Bravo, the reincarnation of Thor was alive…
And he was not just still alive.
He was blazing with power as he simply hovered in the middle of the Dust created storm that seemed to grow in intensity. An aura of pure lightning surrounded him as he held up his hammer and his eyes blazed with electricity from the very storm that should have killed him.
"It's happened…" Valhallen muttered. "He's woken up."
Everyone was silent as they watched the new Thor slowly descent to the ground, lightning flashing from behind his sunglasses. Even Nigel and Abby, the Elementals of Ice and Candy were left in stunned silence, their own Elemental powers allowing them to sense the power of the Thunder God's essence from inside Johnny Bravo.
(Where Did All The Scene Girls Go? By The Crash Moderns Starts)
E-Male moved first, throwing his Battle Disk at Johnny who blocked with Mjolnir and then threw the hammer at E-Male who dodged, vanishing in a flash of light. The hammer slowed down before flying back into Johnny's hand while Johnny scanned the area for E-Male who appeared right in front of him and started landing punches and kicks, showing himself to be an expert in several fighting styles such a Tae Kwon Do, Judo and Jujitsu before finishing with an uppercut that sent Johnny flying. E-Male shot up to continue his assault, even as Johnny tried to counter but E-Male was too fast and the blue haired hero grabbed him before throwing him to the ground. However Johnny was far from done as he used Mjolnir to conjure a blast of lightning and fired it at E-Male who blocked with his Battle Disk.
"My Semblance allows me to convert my own bio-electricity into a weapon. But my battle suit allows me to absorb electricity and add it to my own power." E-Male grinned as the electricity from Johnny's own attack was absorbed into his suit and he then fired it back.
Johnny acted quickly, spinning Mjolnir at super speed as the attack collided and a second later it dissipated.
"Awesome!" Ed shouted in absolute glee.
"Spiky Haired E-Male is moving faster than Father's shoe on bath night!" Rolf exclaimed.
Johnny slammed Mjolnir into the ground, creating a miniature earthquake that shook the entire building and caused E-Male to stumble back. The blue haired hero took off, leaving a trail of lightning in his wake as he shot around the battlefield. Johnny spun his hammer and took off into the air, flying after E-Male who leapt up, meeting him in the air.
BOOM!
As soon as the two collided they created a massive shock of discharged electricity. The light shields came on, protecting the audience from the discharge.
"This is crazy!" Nazz exclaimed with wide eyes.
"Look at that, Plank!"
Johnny managed to land on his feet while E-Male was sent crashing into a miniature mountain. The hero recovered and sprinted straight at Johnny who flew his hammer again but E-Male once again managed to dodge.
"Throwing the hammer seems to be his favorite tactic." Connor commented. "Is that a good idea?"
"At least it returns to his hand." Artemis shrugged.
To prove her point the hammer flew back into Johnny's hand and he spun it, using it fly after E-Male again. E-Male jumped and spun, throwing his Battle Disk at Johnny who easily deflected and followed up with a kick that sent E-Male into the air and followed up with a punch that the sent the blue haired hero to the ground. Before he could recover Johnny grabbed him and head-butted him, slamming him into the ground with a loud cry.
"Johnny's getting good." Karl said in awe.
"It's not just Johnny." Rossweisse spoke. "Thor's spirit is active, sending memories and his power to help him fight."
"So is Johnny in control?"
"It's not exactly like that." Rossweisse shook her head. "It's almost like…Johnny controls one arm while Thor controls the other, sending Johnny information. The instincts and experiences Thor gained from his previous life has allowed Johnny to gain the upper hand."
Johnny jumped back into a safe distance and spun his hammer, actually summoning a tornado. The light shields managed to protect everyone in the audience as the tornado grew in size and power.
"A storm is brewing." Scotty said, crossing his arms.
"Ya think?" Raven said as she clutched her cloak.
E-Male disappeared only to reappear inside the tornado. He fired a barrage of bolts, managing to hit Johnny who blocked as many as he could. E-Male then fired a huge discharge of electricity, stunning Johnny and knocking him back. While he was stunned E-Male rushed at him to finish the fight upper cutting Johnny into the air again.
E-Male shot after Johnny and the two clashed with a flurry of blows, ending with Raiden grabbing Thor and unleashing unending volts of electricity... which has no effect on Johnny.
"Away with you!" Johnny shouted, sounding less like himself and more like a battle hardened warrior as he slammed E-Male down to the ground with a loud impact. "And now…Feel Heaven's Warth"
E-Male watched as Johnny summoned a massive electrical blast, aiming down at him. Grinning, E-Male held out his hand as the attack collided with him and his suit absorbed all of its electrical power.
"Fool! Our powers are the same! The only difference is that I can absorb yours!" E-Male shouted, shooting up towards Johnny with a fist channeling all of his power…
It was not enough.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
The first made contact with Mjolnir and instantly broke E-Male's hand. In response E-Male let out a pained scream as he fell to the ground, clutching his hand.
"E-Male loses due a broken hand!" Capital G called out, officially ending the match so medical help could be provided.
(Where Did All The Scene Girls Go? By The Crash Moderns Ends)
"That's my baby!" Bunny stood up and clapped her hands.
Johnny floated down, his eyes flashing behind his glasses before returning to normal. "Oh Mama. What a rush."
"Well, that was something to see." Valhallen said with a proud smile. "Looks like Thor hasn't changed much at all."
"Does this mean reincarnation process will go much faster?" Major Glory asked quietly.
"Hard to say. They all go at their own pace." Valhallen shrugged. "Still, nothing better than a fight would awaken Thor inside Johnny's subconscious."
"Valhallen, if Thor fully reincarnates doesn't that mean that…" Major Glory trailed off.
"That Ragnarok is back on track?" Valhallen finished the question his friend couldn't say. "Hard to say for sure. It was believe one time Thor would be the one to stop or even end the cycle of Ragnarok but when he died there was sadness and…relief. As if his death removed a curtain of fear that had blanketed Asgard for so long."
"By now all of Asgard should know of Thor's reincarnation." Major Glory stated. "Can we say for sure no one won't come after him behind Odin's back?"
"Odin won't allow it and neither will I." Valhallen replied, crossing his arms. "So, that's almost everyone. Who could be left?"
"Well there is Kazemon, Yara, Ross, Keanu, Extor and Rino. All of them part of involved in our dimensional displaced situation." Major Glory remembered the roster for the sparring matches.
"All of them tough fighters. Who could be next?" Valhallen asked with a smile.
"Who indeed?"
Major Glory and Valhallen turned around, seeing Phil Ken Sebben standing at the top of the audience stand.

"Man, they were some awesome fights! Did you see how those guys were both using the fires, talk about a total heat!" Wally was excited while eating his chilly dog. "And the one with the Tiki-Torch and that North guy, man, those fights were amazing!"
"It was quick a lot to know how they deal with this sort of thing. I'm pretty much excited and nervous of what Nevernest Academy will have." Nazz said, eating her sandwich in the cafeteria.
"Well, I'm pleased to see you are all in high spirits after the fiasco. Helps to take the worry and certain you all make fine huntsmen and huntresses." Monty commented. "But even if you didn't want it, no one would hold you against it. It can be a dangerous path, even I worry for my children."
"Rolf also understands, as he too knows the heavyweight it must be." Rolf said, drinking from his soda. "Go-Go Nazz girl makes good comment. Always expect the unexpected, like my nana's undergarments on a laundry day."
"Ugh, Rolf! Please, some of us are trying to eat." Abby didn't wanna know what goes on with his family.
"Are you unwell, Abigail?" Anna was curious and asked her Elemental.
Abby waved her hand. "I'm fine. Just don't want to think of anything gross to lose my lunch." She would sometimes feel envy to the gems for not having stomachs or they'd lose whatever they eat seeing anything gross, especially from Johnny pulling down his pants in front of aliens, Ed's gross habits, or Rolf's cooking.
"Hey, anyone think maybe we should go and see what Eddy's been up to? Plank says he shouldn't wander around too far." Johnny mentioned.
"Luckily we can check the footages to get some ideas." Nazz said as Ed's dragon, Nester let out a whining sound, begging to be fed.
"Potato-head Ed boy, if you are going to keep Fire Breather Nestor, then please keep him from my chickens." Rolf heard about what they do and since heard this type of dragon would grow to the size of a dog or cat, he'd prefer to keep his house intact.
"Don't worry, Rolf. I love chickens and dragons." Ed said reassuringly but then sighed. "I wish Eddy was here, he'd love to see good fights and wanting to be a Hunter." Needless to say the big lug was worried for his pal while scooping some piece of chicken and gave it to Nester who was eating from the top of his head.
Nazz agreed and should see if he's calmed down by now, thinking about what happened to him on the Gem Homeworld, it would make sense and she couldn't blame Eddy for what they must have put him through. She turned to Kevin who was eating his hotdog and was quiet for the time being, but that didn't stop her catching him watching the matches.
"Guess you don't see huntsmen as what you thought they were huh?" She smiled at him.
"What? Uh, they're cool... I guess."
"Yeah, like how you were watching most of them like we were in a wrestling match. You seem to have gotten into it." Nazz said, smirking at her friend.
Kevin sighed. "Fine, I admit it. Just don't tell anyone. But... sorry, ok, guess after everything that's happened made me so mad. Just wish my mom was still around."
"I know, and think you owe your dad and step-mom an apology, they would be worried sick about you." She told him.
"Yeah, and no doubt be grounded for a year if he finds out I was planning to run away." Kevin said.
"Least they show to care for you." She was glad he was starting to open up and maybe a chance to rekindle their friendship.
"You tell anyone; especially Eddy and I'll deny it." Last thing he needed was Eddy to start taunting him of going soft and if he gets grounded like last time would take advantage to annoy him.
"Deal."
While eating and talking about plans, Johnny Bravo came over to their table. "Hey, guys heard you were taking to some alien planet? Is it true they had chicks? Man, I so wish I was abducted like the last I met these weird babes who wanted me to open a jar of pickles... until I was saved by Pops and Carl." He mumbled the last part with his arms crossed over his chest.
"...Right." Nigel thought he was making it up or the number of times he got beat up affected his brain.
"You were awesome with that hammer, can it do anything else?" Wally asked him.
"Oh, does it ever! I can talk to fish! Octopus and take down a frost giant. Plus, it shows me more about what Thor was like back then, he sure knew how to throw a party."
"Hey, your name's Johnny? That's so cool, mine too! Did they do some probing on your butt? I almost thought we did." Jonny said. But to the rest who heard this think he might have watched too many sci-fi movies with alien abduction. "Names Jonny 2x4 and this is Plank."
"Um, probe one's butt?" Elsa asked and uncertain about what he meant and it sounded unhygienic.
"Don't ask." Nigel, Abby, and Nazz muttered and shook their heads.
"Sweet, nice to meet ya kid. And nope, they didn't." Johnny thought for a second to think. "Least I think so. I never had someone touch my butt unless it was a doctor or take my temperature."
The bald kid asked and jumped on the table and reached his pants. "I think they did something when I was asleep and-"
"JONNY! EW! GROSS!"
"Hey, get that kid down! Some of us are eating here!"
"What in blazes is he doing with his pants down?"
"Dude!"
"JONNY WOOD-BOY! CEASE YOUR ATTEMPT TO REMOVE YOUR UNDERGARMENTS!"
"Those aliens better watch out, if they come after us again. I'll teach them 'ouch!' in Australia." Wally said, bringing his fists together.
Nigel groaned and turned to his friend. "And is there a word for that in Australia?"
"There will be when I give them a good beaten along with them robots and Grimm too." Without thinking he swatted his hand across the table and accidentally hit the pepper, sending it hurtling across the room and right into Krunk's face.
Wally chuckled nervously to make a scene in front of his favorite heroes. "Eh, ehehe, sorry." He said, scratching the back of his head nervously.
Catching a whiff of it through his nose and slowly started to feel the urge to sneeze. "Ah...ahh.. ahhh... ahhh"
Everyone stopped what they were doing and realize what was happening.
"Crikey!"
"Oh ho!"
"Sweet mother of... He's gonna BLOWWWW!"
"Hit the deck!"
Everyone took cover or ran as fast as they can, others made their own getaways such as Raven disappearing in the shadows, Yara opening up a portal to jump in for safety along with anyone close enough. Keanu panicked when some exits were taken and ducked behind a table along with Doyle and White Tiger. The Pearls grabbed the surprised Abby and Nigel for safety in fear there might be danger. And those who didn't just took cover behind Krunk for the direction he might sneeze.
"AAAAHH..." As if by a miracle, Krunk didn't sneeze, sighing in relief.
Doyle peaked out to check and was gave a soft laugh with Keanu who joined him.
"Man, for a moment there I thought-"
"AAACHOOOOO!"
Everything in front of him was blown away like a hurricane, throwing everything and everyone by a few feet, tables and chairs all over the room and stuff thrown out of the stood where he was and smiled sheepishly at the mess he caused. "Scuse me."
"By Washington's Wig!"
Major Glory knew better than anyone what to expect when Krunk sneezed. Still, it left him staring in horror at the mess that had been left behind.
"Looks like we have another mess to clean up." Valhallen said, already used to the chaos of Krunk's sneezing. "Too bad Miss Spell ain't here to clean up." He then patted Glory on the shoulder. "Good thing we got you and Bullet."
Both said heroes groaned.

E-Male grunted as his hand was carefully bandaged. Once it was done Doctor Princess recommended he be taken off the reserve list for the time being which he silently consented to.
The doctor left after that and E-Male tapped his ear piece. "Did you get the data?"
"I…The Hall of Heroes' main computer locked me out somehow." His son, Rui spoke on the other end. "I couldn't get back in and I was flooded with junk data."
E-Male scowled.
"But I have the recorded data from your suit." Rui quickly said.
"Good. At least you have something." E-Male grunted from his aching hand. "Perhaps we can see how we can upgrade from this…setback."

"Commander Emerald, there is a Stellar Alliance ship on an intercept course."
Emerald scowled at the mention of the Alliance. "On screen."
Sure enough there was a ship bearing Alliance markings on approach.
"Shall we raise shields?" A Nephrite asked.
"No." Emerald dismissed with a wave of her hand. "The Alliance has no grounds to hold us. This is a former Crystal System and thus we have the authority. The Alliance has no territory here."
"They are hailing us."
Emerald scoffed. "On speakers."
"This is Captain Gantu of the United Stellar Alliance calling the Gem Cruiser. You are trespassing in a system deemed off limits by the Alliance. Explain your presence."
Emerald narrowed her eye. "The nerve of those…organics."
"Shall we answer back?" The Nephrite officer asked.
"No. They are not worth talking to." Emerald sat down in her command chair. "Set course for Homeworld."
"Yes, Co-" The officer trailed off. "Commander, I am detecting Gem signatures nearby."
Emerald raised an eyebrow. "Where?"
The view screen zoomed out from the Alliance ship and zoomed again to show a pink bubble with two Gem signatures and a Human with a Gem transponder.
"What in Homeworld?"
