Speech: "Do not undermine the ability of the Uchiha."

Inner Thoughts: 'Is this what you meant Hashirama?'

Jutsu: "Fire Style: Fire Ball Jutsu!"

(Actions)

*Sound Effects&Locations*

"So... are you going to wake your bitch ass up or not? You are overworking poor Asia here."

"Shut up cunt! And let me enjoy my recovery."

"No honestly Kalawarner, it really is okay, I don't mind healing her." Asia said, as healing was just her job.

"You see she doesn't mind."

"Shut the fuck up! You know Asia is a sweetheart and would do anything for us, its actually your fault for making her heal your weak ass, I always knew you were selfish, look at you, keeping your eyes closed like you on vacation or something." Kalawarner said giving off a look of disgust.

The individual in questioned opened her eyes now as she has had about enough of Kalawarner's bitching, she could see she was in the spectator area of the Arena laying down with her head resting on Asia's lap while also being healed by the blonde Uchiha, with Kalawarner adjacent to them looking down at said individual with a disappointed look.

"You are just pathetic Raynare." Kalawarner said further emphasizing her disappointment in her best friend.

"Okay that's it, I might still be hurt, but I still have enough in the tank to kick your cunt Ass!" Raynare said as she was forcing her body to get back on it's feet.

"Hey! Careful! I'm still not done healing you Raynare." Asia stated while assisting the fallen angel to gently get back on her feet.

(Wincing) "That's perfectly fine Asia...(Wincing)...it gives this punk a handicap, so when I whoop her ass, she knows damn well I'm stronger than her...(Painful Groaning)...even when I am not at a hundred percent." Raynare said with her know being on her feet with the help of Asia.

"Psshhh...just because you have twelve wings, you think you are the shit? You don't scare me, you will always be my little bitch Raynare." Kalawarner said folding her arms and looking down at her best friend.

(Hysterical Laughter): "Your little bitch?!...last I remember, you got your ass kicked by Brynhildr so bad, she made you look like God made a mistake in creating you, where as not only was I beating my opponent, but I also shielded our man from getting blown up, seems to me that this competition has shown who the real bitch is." Raynare said producing a smug expression and now looking eye to eye with her best friend.

(Sigh +Face Palming): "Of course classic Raynare, always jumping to conclusions without reviewing the facts, well yes, I got my ass handed to me by Brynhildr, you must remember, what Freya said, she is her strongest warrior, so in essence I had the hardest battle out of anyone because I was fighting the strongest Valkyrie, of course you should be beating Hrist, she is not as powerful as Brynhildr, if I was fighting your opponent I would've easily eliminated her not even allowing her the chance to potentially hurt our babe Issei, where as you wouldn't of lasted as long as I have against Brynhildr." Kalawarner said now closing her eyes and shaking her head in sheer disappointment.

"Tch! You fucking Dog! You have the audacity to say that to your superior?!" Raynare questioned making sure to get up close and personal with her best friend.

"Pshhh...My superior?! How?!" Kalawarner questioned now looking at Raynare with genuine confusion.

Raynare didn't respond she just looked at Kalawarner then summoned her twelve fallen angel wings, believing that actions speak louder than words.

(Clicks Tongue): "So you think that just because you have an extra pair of wings, you think you are better than me?!..."

"...I don't think, I know I'm better." Raynare interjected not allowing Kalawarner to finish her sentence.

(Chuckle): "Prove it." Kalawarner said with her too summoning her ten fallen angel wings and stretching her neck, getting the blood going.

"I've been waiting for this damn moment, time to teach you some manners cunt." Raynare said punching her left fist into a right palm.

"I've been meaning to do Issei a favour and get rid of your nagging bitch ass." Kalawarner stated cracking her knuckles.

Raynare and Kalawarner had enough of the talking and launched their fists at each other.

*Fists Collide*

There fists connected and created quite an intense shock-wave that did knock quite a few servants of Valhalla off-balance.

Raynare and Kalawarner indulged themselves in an intense stale-mate as neither one of them were going to admit defeat,their connected fists proceeded to go back and forth with one another as this was bigger than just who was stronger, each lady's pride was on the line.

Kalawarner was slowly beginning to struggle, of course she would not admit it, however she could feel the strength of Raynare slowly overpower her.

'Tch! Damn...the fact that she has an extra pair of wings is indeed playing a huge role, I hate to admit it, but this bitch has just more horse-power than I do...Fuck I have to concede for now.' Kalawarner thought to herself as her arm was starting to feel the pain from this power struggle.

Kalawarner reluctantly withdrew her fist and folded her arms signalling that Raynare was the winner.

(Sigh): "You with this round Raynare...(Chuckle)...not bad old friend." Kalawarner said giving Raynare an impressed smirk.

"Hmph don't worry, if ever you need mentoring, you know who to ask." Raynare said being rather boastful and puffing out her chest in pride.

"Yeah...Lord Madara." Kalawarner responded, immediately popping Raynare's ego balloon.

Raynare just deflated, that was not the answer she was hoping to hear, and unfortunately she didn't have a come-back to that response, because ultimately Kalawarner was right, the best person to receive mentoring from was Madara whether Raynare liked it or not..

(Defeated Sigh): "Not at all what I meant." Raynare said adopting a body posture that was the complete opposite of what she was previously exuding.

Kalawarner smirked glad she was at least able to crash Raynare's party, but their rivalry aside, Kalawarner was incredibly happy and proud of her best friend, Raynare was becoming stronger and it was a joy for the fallen angel to see her best friend reach new heights.

"You two had enough of your validation chasing?"

Kalawarner and Raynare shifted their attention to the where the voice was coming from and could see that Mittelt was looking at them with an unimpressed look.

"I mean c'mon Mitty you have to give me some credit, I got twelve wings, like look at these." Raynare said then turned around showing off her complete set of fallen angel wings.

"Yeah and you still got knocked out." Mittelt responded with a monotone-voice.

Kalawarner burst into laughter as that was one hell of a burn Mittelt just dished out, the fallen angel was now on the verge of tears.

Raynare once again was deflated, as it was clear that Kalawarner and Mittelt were not going to acknowledge her amazing accomplishment.

"Hmph whatever!" Raynare said with her folding her arms and shifting her head to the side in order to hid her embarrassed face.

"C'mon let's get a move on, the fight is about to start and we should get better seats." Mittelt suggested then began walking to higher grand-stands.

"Let's go elimination queen." Kalawarner said then began following Mittelt.

Raynare was about to clap-back with a response but found it no-use, she just sighed and began following her two closest friends.

"Well this truly has been an outstanding clash of fighters." Jesus said as the son of God couldn't lie, the drama being provided from this battle was indeed entertaining.

"Cannot deny that, I am certainly enjoying it." Zeus responded as he thought this tournament was going to be a waste of time, but the Greek god of thunder has been thoroughly entertained.

"Indeed, but we really should be rapping it up, a winner must be decided now, that's why I have a suggestion dear Madara." Freya said then shifted her attention to the ghost of the Uchiha.

"And what would that be?" Madara questioned with he too shifting his attention to Freya.

"Let's make it sudden-death, we remove the healers from each respective team, leaving only the fighters to decide which one of us is victorious, what do you think?" Freya questioned.

'Sudden death? Looks like she wants to end this feud, do you think she is getting nervous?' Hagoromo questioned creating a mental-link with our protagonist.

Madara: 'It's possible, but it does make sense though, the Old-Satan Faction is here in Norse-mythology, the sooner we end this, the sooner we can deal with them.'

Hagoromo:'So what you say? You going to agree?'

'Might as well, it is about time we end this, we cannot afford to waste more time.' Madara said then ended the mental-link between him and the Sage.

Madara: "Very well then, Freya it is time this feud reached it conclusion, I agree to the sudden death."

Madara's group looked at their leader with curious expressions, this is definitely was not what they expected from their leader, however in the same token, they will always place their faith in his judgement.

"Are you sure about this Big Brother?" Asia questioned wanting to make sure that her older brother was fully understanding Freya's proposal.

"Indeed, stand down Asia, Asuka and Hyoudou are my final play in this game." Madara said.

Asia just nodded, as for Issei and Asuka, they smirked as they felt proud that Madara saw them two as his trump card.

"I trust you big brother." Asia responded and began making her way to the Arena grand-stands, the blonde Uchiha was soon followed by the healing Valkyrie from Freya's team as she too was told to stand down and allow Brynhildr and Sigrun to take over.

A few more moments went by and it was just Issei and Asuka vs Sigrun and Brynhildr, the best of Madara vs the best of Freya.

"Looks like it's me and you Asuka." Issei said with him stretching his muscles as it was time to get serious for the Red Dragon Emperor.

"Hmph, don't slow me down now Issei." Asuka said while smirking at her rival.

"Ha! Last I remember I wasn't the one who nearly got taken out." Issei clapped back now stretching his neck.

"Pfft...it was a one time thing...(Short Pause)...but I'm going to be honest right now, if there is someone I had to fight with in an important battle, I'm glad it would be you Issei." Asuka said looking at her team-mate with a proud smile.

"Same here Asuka, I wouldn't have it any other way, your the one team-mate I know I can lean on, you with me?" Issei questioned then extended his arm to Asuka in order to initiate a fist bump.

"Always." Asuka responded fist bumping her close friend.

"We are Valhalla's last stand my sister, let us show them why we shield-maidens are so revered." Brynhildr said shifting her attention to Sigrun.

"The Valkyrie of Victory and the strongest of all the shield-maidens, I don't believe there is a more powerful team queen Freya could compose, you and me sister, we cannot let outsiders outdo us in our home, this is our stage, our people, our fight, we are winning this for the queen." Sigrun stated flapping her wings she received from Mist.

Brynhildr& Sigrun: "For the Queen!"

Freya stood up from her seat and took a few steps forward, so everyone can have a good look at the Vanir goddess as there is something she wishes to say.

"This is the last stand, my shield-maidens, this battle will decide the Akatsuki's next move, to either save the giants or abandon them...(Deep Breath)...you all know very well I care deeply for the giants and Jotunheim, please my warriors win this fight for me, my remaining Valkyries, sing for your sisters, show them your support, this is Valhalla! our home and we shall not be beaten in our home! Fight until the end, that is what it means to be a Valkyrie, a Chooser of the Slain, SHOW THEM WHAT YOU GOT!" Freya shouted and a fire like no other was ignited in Brynhildr and Sigrun.

The remaining 34 Valkyries that were on the sidelines all those from there seat and took a step forward, for their queen, they would do anything, so if there queen demanded that they support Brynhildr and Sigrun, they would do just that.

*Singing and drums Beating*

The Valkyries wasted no time and began their support of their sisters, the atmosphere completely changed and it was becoming supporting and inspiring for the two remaining Valkyries, this was the advantage of being at home ground were as for Asuka and Issei it became hostile and intimidating, the crowd was completely against the followers of Madara and they made sure that Issei and Asuka could feel it. (Authors Notes: For context, Play God of War 2018, The Valkyries/ A Valkyries Fate Ost*)

Brynhildr and Sigrun raised their hands and just absorbed the energy from the crowd, as it was completely rejuvenating and revitalizing for the Valkyries, it truly was a blessing for them to have the crowd behind them.

The two Valkyries focused their attention once more on their opponents, as this time they were more then pumped up for a battle against Madara's strongest, no matter what happens, no matter what Issei and Asuka throw at the two shield-maidens, they will make damn sure they win this fight for their queen.

To say Issei and Asuka were overwhelmed was an understatement, it's as if only now it just registered to them that they are fighting the two most powerful Valkyries in Valhalla, about a year ago, one was a perverted high-school teenager who cannot control his urges, to now being in an Arena with thousands watching and cheering for his downfall, the another one was a low-confidence Emo-punk college student who was dating an abusive drug dealer, about a year ago she was scamming people and taking advantage of older man, just to make ends, and now she was in a battle to determine what's the next move of the Akatsuki will be, it truly was surreal for the two students of Madara and their bodies made sure to show it.

Asuka was breathing heavily and her body was shaking from the anxiety of how big this moment actually was, Issei on the other hand was constantly fidgeting and rocking back and forth, his nerves were getting the better of him.

The rest of Madara's squad, noticed this and were staring to worry that, Issei and Asuka will succumb to the pressure of this battle.

Kunou saw how intimidated both Issei and Asuka were due to the crowd being against them, therefore she decided it was only fair to level the playing field.

The daughter of Madara brought her fingers together to do a cross like hand sign.

"Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

Within an instant 40 Kunou's appeared from smoke clouds and sprung into action making their way from the VIP section to the grand-stands that were near the Arena floor.

"BIG SISTER ASUKA! BIG BROTHER ISSEI! YOU CAN DO IT!"

Issei&Asuka: "Huh?"

The two rivals were immediately brought out of their haze, they shifted their attention to grand-stands and could see multiple Kunou's screaming and cheering them on and for a brief moment time stopped for the two rivals, it was incredibly heart warming and touching for Issei and Asuka to see Kunou support them.

(All Kunous): "WE BELIEVE IN YOU GUYS, YOU CAN DO IT!"

Issei closed his eyes and smiled, he then brought his attention back to his opponents, completely refuelled by the Nine-tails princess.

"This one is for you Kunou." Issei muttered under his breath

Asuka shed a tear as this was so touching for the young Toriyama, it just filled her with so much love, seeing Kunou cheer her name.

"I love that little girl honestly." Asuka said to herself then smiled and waved at the clones of Kunou.

"Get your head in the game Asuka we have a fight to win." Issei said as he could see that his team-mate was overindulging in love she was receiving from the Kyoto princess.

(Sigh): "Just had to ruin my moment huh? Whatever let's win and get this shit over with so I can go and cuddle with my cute little Kunou." Asuka said then blew a kiss to the clones and shifted her attention to her opponents.

The four participants, were locked in a deadly staring competition, as now it was do or die, but to everyone's surprise they still have not launched into action.

Nike immediately saw what this meant and instantly disappeared leaving a written message on her seat.

"So what exactly are they waiting for?" Sif questioned as the wife of Thor was more then ready to see the combatants launch at one another.

"They are waiting for someone to signal the start of the battle." Athena stated.

Everyone immediately shifted their attention to the seat Nike was positioned and all of them saw it was vacant except for a written message that wrote "Διάλειμμα μπάνιoυ"

"And what exactly does that mean?" Elizabeth questioned.

(Sigh+Face palm): "Bathroom Break." Athena answered while shaking her head.

Tsukuyomi: "Well then? Who is the next best to signal the start of the fight?"

"Well this is basically a fight between Madara and Freya, so why not one of them." Apollo suggested as it only seemed right that the sudden-death battle be signalled by one of them two.

"No thank you, I would rather give that responsibility to Madara." Freya said giving our protagonist a cheeky smirk.

Everyone then immediately shifted their attention to the Ghost of the Uchiha as it seemed like it was on all on him.

Madara sighed and looked at everyone with a bored expression as it looked like he would have no choice, if he wanted this over with, he would need to signal the beginning of the fight.

Madara took his free hand and performed a single-handed, hand sign, and instantly a puff of smoke appeared on the Arena floor.

Kunou looked at Madara with stars in her eyes, at what he just done.

"You can cast Jutsus with one hand Papa? How?! it's already so difficult for me just using both my hands." Kunou stated as she found it extremely impressive that Madara does not need to use both hands.

"Hmph...this is nothing Kunou, an old rival and I used to cast Jutsus without waving a single sign, in time you will learn to do the same, or let me say, that's the expectation I have for you." Madara said looking at Kunou.

Kunou just smiled, but did also feel a slight bit of pressure, she was of course happy that Madara had high standards for her, it made her feel that Madara was indeed paying close attention and investing his time into the young nine-tails, but she was also slightly anxious, she would hate to be compared to him, because Madara is the most talented person Kunou knows, therefore she believed she could never be as skillful as him.

The puff of smoke eventually dispersed and it revealed a shadow clone of Madara and it was making it's way towards the four combatants.

"I honestly still cannot get over the fact that you and Kunou can just casually make copies of yourself, it truly is something that will require getting some use to." Artemis said and many other members of the Akatsuki nodded their heads in agreement, as it was an extremely rare ability to see someone, casually clone themselves multiple times.

The clone of Madara eventually made his way to the four-fighters and took his time to really look each one of them in the eye.

Brynhildr and Sigrun were slightly intimidated but stood their ground, at the end of the day, they are not fighting Madara, they are fighting his subordinates, they took comfort that they will not battle against the Ghost of the Uchiha.

However Asuka and Issei were getting anxious, as both of them could see that look in the clone's eyes, Madara was expecting them to win this fight, they got the message loud and clear, "Do not lose this battle."

"Right then, I am not a Master Of Ceremonies, do not expect me to inspire you four into battling with all your might, and since Freya was the one to call for the sudden-death, I wish to add my own twist to the battle, just to make it a little more interesting."

The clone then brought his hands together and performed a cluster of hand signs.

"Water Style: Rain Tiger at Will Jutsu!"

"You may want to use some magic to cover us that are not participating, unless you want your guests and I too be soaked in water." The original Madara said while looking at Freya.

"Soaked?" What do you mean by that?" Freya questioned as she as well as everyone else was wondering what Madara was on about.

*Thunder*

Everyone looked up and once again Valhalla was completely covered with thunder clouds, however the difference this time was, compared to Kunou's, Madara's thunder clouds were thicker and much more darker, they looked like they were ready to unleash a hurricane not a storm.

Yasaka and Kunou's eyes widened in pure shock as this incoming storm was filled with massive amounts of Chakra, Chakra the two nine-tailed foxes are very familiar with.

"Dear?" Yasaka called out while looking up at Madara's

Madara: "Hmm?"

"Don't push yourself so hard, remember that you are still recovering, is it really necessary for you to use this much Chakra?" Yasaka questioned looking at Madara with a great deal of concern.

"Yeah Papa, I mean the amount of Chakra I'm sensing from those clouds is massive, don't you think it would be better using it on healing?" Kunou questioned with her too looking rather worried.

"As users of Chakra, you two know very well, your body only strengthens the more Chakra you use, it essentially like exercise, a muscle that is left unused will soon have no use." Madara said shifting his attention from Yasaka to Kunou then back to Yasaka.

"I know but I'm worried dear...(Short Pause)...your body was so exhausted when you came back from the Old-Satan Faction, I just don't want to see you breakdown and collapse." Yasaka said with her eyes tearing up, as memories of seeing Madara in pain began replaying in her head.

"It has been days since then, my body is fully healed, it's only my right eye that still needs more time, as long as I don't use it, I will be fine, indeed I am not at a hundred percent however this is nothing to me, do not worry." Madara said looking deep into Yasaka's eyes.

(Deep Breaths): "I still don't like it, but I also won't stop you, if you say that you are okay, then I trust you." Yasaka said then proceeded to cuddle with Madara's right arm and rest her head on is shoulder again.

"Since that is settled with...(Short Pause)...When are you going to teach me this Jutsu Papa?" Kunou questioned excitedly with stars in her eyes as she fantasizing about being able to create rain at will.

"Unfortunately, that will not be possible Kunou." Madara said now focusing on his daughter.

Kunou's fantasy was immediately torn to pieces as the words she just heard were not the words she wanted to hear.

"But why Papa?" Kunou questioned looking at her farther with sad eyes.

"That is a change in Chakra nature ability, more specifically a water style based Jutsu, do you recall the Chakra natures you posses child?" Madara questioned.

"Yeah Fire...Wind...Lighting...(Short Pause)...Ohhhhh..." Kunou didn't finish her sentence as it now dawned on her.

"Exactly, you do not have a Water Chakra nature, unfortunately this is one of the many Jutsus I cannot teach you." Madara stated.

Kunou just took a deep breath, she was massively disappointed, but she also knew there was nothing really she could do, she is not like Madara who has an affinity to elements.

"Skylfa!"

Freya wasted no time and casted her runic magic and immediately covered the entire stadium with a barrier to protect them from the incoming rain.

"No...just us, the fighters are not to be shielded by my Jutsu." Madara said.

Freya looked at Madara with curiosity as she found this rather strange.

*Thunder*

"Why though? What are your intentions Madara?" Freya questioned as the Norse goddess was trying to understand what Madara was on.

"You were allowed to make a change to the battle, you called for sudden-death and your request was fulfilled, now I wish to see the fighters dance in the rain, to add of a bit of dramatics to the sudden-death, or do you object?" Madara questioned.

Freya remained silent, Madara was right to be honest, she did get her request approved, so it was only fair that Madara can add his own spin to the fight.

"I mean I cannot fight it, I suppose you are also allowed to add your own flavour to the fight." Freya responded and was about to readjust the barrier but was quickly stopped.

"Wait."

Everyone shifted their attention to the All-father as he wished to speak about the matter.

"Now how do we know that you will not manipulate the whether in favour of your fighters and against the Valkyries, I am not one to underestimate Madara, I know you are a cunning individual, this could be a chance to balance things into your favour." Odin said giving Madara his full attention.

The rest of the members of the Akatsuki couldn't help but nod and get where Odin was coming from, he was onto something after all, Madara could use this as a handicap to assists his subordinates.

*Thunder*

"Yes that is indeed true, however I have never lied to any of you, I am a man of my word, I have no intention of assisting Hyoudou and Asuka." Madara said.

"Never lied?" Zeus questioned raising an eyebrow.

"I said I never lied to any of you, not that I have never lied, even I have used deception many times to my advantage, but this is not one of those times.

The Rest of the gods shifted their attention to Buddha, to see what he thinks.

Buddha slowly opened his eyes and looked directly at Madara for a brief moment then closed his eyes once more.

"He is indeed telling the truth, Madara has no intention of manipulating the odds." Buddha stated.

*Thunder&Lightning*

"I will even put my own good name on the line, I know my friend here, he has never lied to me, if you all cannot trust him, put your faith in me, Madara will not participate in foul-play, I am one person you all trust." Jesus said as he shifted his attention to Odin.

Odin couldn't help but sigh, the son of the Holy one was right about one thing, everyone here trusted Jesus, so if he was advocating of the Ghost of the Uchiha, everyone here could trust him.

(Sigh): "Fine then." Odin said retreating into his seat.

Freya then proceeded to readjust the barrier so that it was now only covering the spectators, leaving the fighters completely exposed to the elements.

Madara added a bit more Chakra to his Jutsu and the clouds were finally able to relief themselves with it now pouring down with heavy rain, completely soaking Madara's clone and the four combatants.

*Thunder&Lighting*

"Back to the subject matter, all of you know what is at stake with this battle, this is the deciding fight for who of your leaders have the right of way in the next step of the Akatsuki, however bare in mind that this is also a dance to showcase what you really can do, each team has tasted victory and each team defeat, this is now the defining moment, who of you four will remain standing, that is up for you all to decide.

Issei and Asuka both stretched their necks and flex their godly power

Issei&Asuka: "Ready."

Brynhildr and Sigrun just flapped their metallic wings and focused their attention on their opponents.

Brynhildr&Sigrun: "For the Queen."

"Then dance." The clone demanded and a bolt of lightning struck the copy of Madara, making him completely disappear, but also signalling the start of the fight.

*Lightning&Thunder*

The four combatants launched at each other and an absolutely tectonic shock-wave vibrated throughout all of Valhalla causing many of it's residents to lose their footing

*Fists Collide*

*Asuka Vs Brynhildr*

The two ladies engaged in an exchange of fists and kicks, and when there attacks collided, they were releasing loud pops that were causing many of the spectators ears to ring, Asuka was the chosen saviour of Christianity, the strongest within Madara's team and Brynhildr was the divine shield-maiden, the strongest of Freya's Valkyries.

The two ladies went back and forth, blitzing all over the Arena, and their attacks were just getting louder and louder, some of the audience had no choice but to cover their ears.

*Lightning&Thunder*

"Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost!"

*Ground Shaking*

Everyone immediately focused their attention towards the force of impact and could see Sigrun laying down in a crater recovering from a serve punch from the Red Dragon Emperor.

Issei was in his scale mail juggernaut drive armour and was currently dashing straight towards Sigrun looking to do a follow up attack.

Brynhildr saw this, and knew that Sigrun would suffer heavily if she got hit, so in a brief moment she became invisible, causing Asuka to lose a visual and blitzed her way to Issei in order to stop the Red Dragon Emperor.

Issei could smell Brynhildr approaching and quickly shifted his attention to the incoming Valkyrie, Sigrun saw that Issei's focus was placed elsewhere and she immediately took this opportunity to conjure up a runic blast and she focused her hands on Issei, directing the runic blast towards him.

Everything went slow for the student of Madara, as in front of him he had a Valkyrie coming his way full force and below him, he had a runic blast making it's way towards him, for the Red Dragon Emperor, he believed that he was completely trapped, well that what he thought.

Just as Brynhildr and Sigrun's runic attack were about to make contact with Issei, the student of Madara felt an invisible force grab him and pull him away from the dangerous circumstances.

Brynhildr saw this and immediately flapped her wings stopping her just in time, as if she continued on her path, she would have been hit by Sigrun's attack.

Sigrun's attack amount to nothing as all it made contact with was the clouds above.

*Lighting&Thunder*

Issei finally got his bearings, but was curious as to what exactly saved him from that unfavourable position.

"Ohhh you so owe me Issei."

Issei shifted his attention to where the voice was coming from and could see Asuka with her giant snow white angel wings hovering behind him.

"You used that weird voo-doo power of yours didn't you? what's it called again?..."

"Spirit Control." Asuka said not allowing Issei to finish his sentence, she was slightly annoyed hearing Issei call her power voo-doo.

"Yeah yeah whatever, I had it covered. Issei said giving Asuka a smug smile.

"Pfftt!...boy you wish, Sigrun was about to roast you with that blast, showing a little gratitude for saving your perverted ass would be nice Issei." Asuka said as she landed and made her way towards her ungrateful team-mate.

"Still had it covered."Issei said while shrugging, emphasizing that Asuka's attempts of saving him were unnecessary.

(Clicks tongue): "You Mother fucker! I swear next time I'm going to leave you to get blasted." Asuka stated being greatly annoyed that her efforts were not being appreciated.

(Chuckle): "I'm fucking with you, you know I appreciate the assist Asuka." Issei said then smiled and proceeded to place his arm over Asuka's shoulders.

The Toriyama just folded her arms and rolled her eyes, but was struggling heavily to stop herself from smiling at Issei's antics.

"Hmph...(Short Pause)...look sharp, our friends over there look like they are getting ready for round two." Asuka said focusing her attention on the two Valkyries.

Issei paid them no mind and just kept looking at Asuka's angel wings, more specifically their feathers.

That's when an idea popped into Issei's head, that might very well give them the win.

Issei proceeded to bring his mouth closer to Asuka's ear and then whispered his idea to his team-mate and to say that Asuka didn't like the idea was an understatement, she absolutely hated it.

"You want to do what?! Why is it my fucking wings?!" Asuka questioned looking at Issei like he was a mad-man.

Issei: "C'mon my wings don't have any feathers, yours do, it's for the greater good after all."

Asuka thought about it for a good minute, and couldn't deny it, Issei's idea my very well give them the win or at least a competitive advantage, even though she didn't like the price she would have to pay, it was for the greater good and for their leader Madara.

(Frustrated Sigh): "Fine...you better fucking win this Issei." Asuka said then summoned about a hundred Spirits to stand behind her and Issei.

*Lightning&Thunder*

"Now what are they planning?" Madara questioned with him still being in Sage mode he could sense the hundred Angel Spirits standing behind his two subordinates.

"We will have to wait and see." Jesus responded as he too could sense and see the Spirits.

"They here?" Issei questioned, wanting to know if he can carry on with his plan.

"Yes they are here Idiot! Get to it!" Asuka commanded as she wanted to get this over and done with.

"Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost."

Issei pumped himself up as much as he could and placed his hands on Asuka's wings and began spamming flying Raijin seals on as many feathers as he could, the Red Dragon Emperor remembered Madara telling him that if he wanted the ultimate speed advantage, surround your enemy with as many Flying Raijin seals as possible.

Issei eventually dropped to his knees, clenched his chest and was breathing heavily, as placing a hundred Flying Raijin seals was beyond draining for the Red Dragon Emperor.

Asuka: "Done?"

(Heavy Breathing): Yeah...(Panting)...Go for it." Issei confirmed giving Asuka the green light.

*Lighting&Thunder*

Brynhildr and Sigrun both looked at their opponent with inquisitive eyes, as the Valkyries were wondering what was going on, especially after seeing Issei drop to the floor.

Asuka ordered her angels to get to work and one by one they began plucking out the feathers Issei placed his seal on, causing the Toriyama to wince and grit her teeth each time.

Eventually the angels finished Issei's torture on Asuka and the Toriyama put them to work, ordering them to spread the wings anywhere and everywhere on the battle field.

"Hoo? So that's their plan?...(Chuckle)...Not bad." Madara said producing a devilish smile.

Tiamat: "What are they up to my chosen one?"

"Pay attention, Hyoudou is about to use a strategy I used against the Old Satan Faction and Nyx that gave them quite a bit of trouble." Madara said, but did wonder how long Issei could use his strategy, after all using one Flying Raijin seal required quite a bit of energy, so now to use multiple seals required godly level of energy.

The two Valkyries were still rather confused, as now they could see there were multiple feathers all around them, their opponents and the entire battlefield, they knew not to underestimate their opponents, however even this was strange for them, what were feathers supposed to do to them.

"Enough of this, we have wasted enough time idling." Sigrun said as the Valkyrie was more than ready to get some action in.

"Indeed my sister, we should end this battle for our queen." Brynhildr responded and both Valkyries began making their way to the students of Madara.

"They are on the move Issei, C'mon get up!" Asuka demanded as the Toriyama knew she did not have the capabilities of taking on two Valkyries at once.

(Panting): "Yeah...(Panting)...just give me a minute...(Panting)...I'm still catching my breath." Issei responded.

Asuka: "We don't have a minute, only about a few seconds."

Issei: "Get close to me."

Asuka: "What?! Issei we don't have time for games!"

Issei: (Exhausted Sigh): "This is the problem with woman these days, they do not want to listen, get your ass over here Asuka! Trust me from now on those two aren't touching us, now just shut up and do as I say!"

Asuka was rather taken aback by Issei's tone of voice, she chose to be obedient and not fight against the Red Dragon Emperor, Asuka took a few steps backwards and now she was right next to Issei.

The Red Dragon Emperor slowly got onto his feet and placed his hand on Asuka's shoulder and not a moment too soon as now Brynhildr and Sigrun were now inches from landing punches on the two students of Madara.

(Exhausted Exhale): "Well it's been fun but, we got to go, Flying Raijin!"

Within an instant Issei and Asuka disappeared and appeared on the other side of the Arena, next to one of Asuka's feathers.

*Lightning&Thunder*

"So that's how that teleportation feels, it's definitely way different than using a magic circle, it's way quicker, makes me wonder how you and Madara-sama don't confused and delirious." Asuka said as it took her a minute to adjust to the sudden change of position.

"Sensei has mastered this shit, as for me, I still get dizzy every now and then." Issei stated then released Asuka from his hold.

Jesus: "Madara."

Madara: "Hmm?"

"The feathers are not just for decoration are they?" Jesus questioned.

(Chuckle) "Indeed every feather is marked with the seal of Flying Raijin, giving Hyoudou the advantage in-terms of speed and positional play...(Chuckle)...the boy can dictate the battle how he sees fit, it's clear these brats pay much attention to me and my teachings

Freya did not like the sound of that, in fact she absolutely hated it, the Vanir goddess has paid very close attention to Flying Raijin and noticed how problematic it is by Issei's earlier displays of the Jutsu, so for him to now have the entire battlefield as his playground was truly terrifying for the Queen of the Valkyries.

Issei took a few steps forward and opened up his arms embracing the rain, with it hitting his face and the rest of his scale mail dragon armour, the Red Dragon Emperor was enjoying the calm before the storm, literally

*Lightning&Thunder*

"Right then, let's get to it" Issei said, focusing his attention on his two opponents with his eyes glowing bright emerald green.

Sigrun blinked and within an instant Issei appeared in front of her ready to deliver a swift kick to the Valkyrie.

Issei's foot made contact with Sigrun's face causing the Valkyrie to take flight and crash into the nearest wall.

Brynhildr was completely caught off-guard as everything happened so fast, however when she was able to get a grasp of what was happening she sprung into action launching directly for Issei.

Issei shifted his attention to the incoming Valkyrie

"Hmph too slow." Issei said then teleported to a feather that was on the other side of the arena

Brynhildr was left to only make contact with air as Issei disappeared within a split of a second, Issei then used Flying Raijin once more and appeared directly in front of Brynhildr, shocking the Valkyrie once again.

Issei boosted his body ten times and punched his opponent in the abdomen causing Brynhildr as well to take flight and crash into her team-mate causing even more pain for Sigrun.

Issei then Flying Raijined to the feather next to Asuka and placed his arm over the Toriyama's shoulders, deciding to have a little break.

Asuka was absolutely amazed at what she was seeing, this was the result of Madara training Issei, this just further reinforced her desire to be Madara's next training project, there is no ways she can allow herself to fall behind Kunou and Issei, the Toriyama couldn't help but get excited at what results could come from Madara training her.

"Not bad huh?" Issei questioned shifting his attention to the Toriyama, giving her a smug look.

Asuka just folded her arms and rolled her eyes at her vice-captain.

"Hmph...Show off."

"C'mon, you gotta admit that, Flying Raijin is a bit cool, I mean I was like whooshh...then I went Bam..., then I was like too slow, then went whoooshhh again punching her in the gut." Issei said childishly acting out what he just did against the Valkyries to Asuka.

(Chuckle): "You such a child." Asuka said laughing at Issei's goofiness.

"A child that can kick ass though." Issei said continuing to give Asuka a sheepish smile.

*Lightning&Thunder*

Brynhildr and Sigrun eventually made their way out of the hole they were forced into by Issei, and the Valkyries were not too appreciative of the Red Dragon Emperor's attacks.

"Well go finish what you started then child, your playmates are not done with you." Asuka said shifting her attention to the Valkyries.

"Yeah...Yeah." Issei said being rather annoyed that his moment of gloating has come to an end.

The Red Dragon Emperor Flying Raijined in front of the Valkyries, surprising them again, Issei grabbed their heads and smashed them against each other, he then kicked Sigrun in the abdomen sending the Valkyrie back into the same wall she just escaped from.

Issei looked at Brynhildr and certain emotions were invoked by staring at the Valkyrie as Issei remembered something.

"Now that I think about it, you are the bitch that hurt my Kalawarner, and I promised her that I will make you pay." Issei said with his eyes glowing bright green.

Brynhildr's eyes widened in worry as at this moment right now, she absolutely has no counter to Flying Raijin

Issei launched a fist at the Valkyrie, which was swiftly dodged by the shield-maiden, she tried to one up the student of Madara and launched a fist if her own, but just like last time, Issei disappeared causing the Valkyrie to make contact with the air.

Issei appeared next to a feather that was behind Brynhildr and kneed the Valkyrie in the back, however the Red Dragon Emperor did not give the Valkyrie time to rest and appeared to her right and kicked the Valkyrie in the face, sending her flying.

Issei decided to really push himself and was attacking Brynhildr from every angle, the student of Madara was moving so fast that it looked like lines were attacking the Valkyrie.

*Lightning&Thunder*

Brynhildr was now on the floor laying on her back, doing her best to recover from Issei's attacks, however this moment was short lived for the Valkyrie as Issei appeared above her and landed on his opponent abdomen with both of his feet, causing her to spit out jugs of blood.

The Red Dragon got off the Valkyrie and began walking to his other opponent Sigrun.

Brynhildr just laid there letting the rain wash her body and the blood from her mouth, the Valkyrie could tell her body was nursing a few broken bones.

The Commentator: "One..."

Freya watched on in horror seeing her literal best Valkyrie on the floor, by the way things are going it very well looked like Madara may win this wager and decide the next move of the Akatsuki.

The Vanir goddess balled her right hand into a fist and stood from her seat

The Commentator: "...Two..."

"Is this it?!...are you just going to stop here?! Have you forgotten where you have come from my precious Brynhildr?!...you my very first Valkyrie...(Short Pause)...you are essentially my very first daughter, my first shield-maiden, please do not let me see my warrior bow out like this, especially after all you have been through...(Short Pause)...DO NOT TELL ME YOU ARE DONE!" Freya shouted.

Brynhildr's eyes shot wide open and looked directly above her and saw the dark clouds and rain heading her way and it reminded her of that night, that depressing rainy night in Vanaheim.

The Commentator: "...Three..."

It was many years ago, when Brynhildr was just a young child growing up deep southern wild lands of Vanaheim in a large village with her family, her farther, her mother and her two younger siblings, the day was perfect the village were preparing a festival for the birthday of one of their leaders Freyr, the twin brother of Freya.

All was perfect for Brynhildr and her family, she was running around playing with her younger brother and sister, while her parents helped with the festival preparations, it looked like nothing could ruin this day, or so she thought, hours went by and the sky darkened filled with thick clouds that looked like the harbingers of doom.

The Commentator: "...Four..."

A storm erupted within the southern lands of Vanaheim, this storm was not a force of nature, rather it was engineered, the people of Vanaheim had not realized it, but they were being invaded by the people of Heven and damned souls of Helheim.

The invaders violated with no remorse, they showed no mercy to the Southerners of Vanaheim, they stole, murdered, raped and kidnapped Freya and Freyr's people, the intruders would eventually reach Brynhildr's village and what the young girl saw there could only be described in one word "HELL"

Her father was brutally murdered in front of his family as he was doing everything he could to protect his loved ones.

Her mother was raped and violated and forced to do the most degrading of sexual acts just so the invaders would show mercy to her children, however her efforts were all but futile as once the invaders had their way with her they murdered her in cold blood.

The Commentator: "...Five..."

Brynhildr and her two siblings tried to run for their lives, but they were only mere children, they didn't make it far, they were captured and tortured.

Days passed by, and the children of the village were completely at the mercy of the intruders, some were killed and their bodies harvested, some were kidnapped and taken back to Heven and others were tortured merely for the amusement of the invaders.

Brynhildr could not do anything but watch in painful agony as her two siblings were tortured and eventually at some point beaten to death, she watched as the life from her brother's and sister's eyes faded into darkness.

Just when they were about to have their way with Brynhildr, Freya, Freyr, Rossweisse Thor Heimdall and Einherjar arrived at the village and drove the intruders out of Vanaheim.

Freya in particular was the star of the show as the goddess completely decimated the invaders of her homeland, Brynhildr was on the verge of being kidnapped however Freya made quick work of the girl's captures and saved the child, it was the day Brynhildr would never forget, all she could remember was how majestic and powerful her goddess was.

In that moment, Brynhildr decided that she was going to do everything she can to be exactly like the Queen of the Valkyries, the young girl wished that she was stronger and more powerful, perhaps then her family would've not been killed, perhaps she could of saved her village from ruin, perhaps she could've saved her younger brother and sister from their terrible fate, therefore she begged and pleaded to Freya to take her under her wing and make her one of her Valkyries like Rossweisse.

After much persistence Freya accepted and made Brynhildr her Valkyrie and requested Rossweisse mentor and guide the young child, Brynhildr used her pain as fuel and over the years raised up the ranks to become a divine shield-maiden like Rossweisse and become Freya's most powerful Valkyrie, the young Brynhildr devoted her life to Freya and would do anything for her queen, even die for her if need be, she will sacrifice anything for Freya, because in the end, Freya is truly the only thing she has left, Freya was now her family

The Commentator: "...Six..."

There was an ancient forbidden technique Rossweisse once taught Brynhildr, though it would have serious consequences if used, it was a once of ability, a be all end all assault, the technique does allow the user absolutely insane power and strength, however it does come at the cost of the Valkyrie's title, if Brynhildr does activate this technique she has to say goodbye to being a Valkyrie forever, that is the price she must pay.

*Lightning&Thunder*

The Valkyrie was brought back to reality by the lightning and rain, that is something she actually has to be thank Madara for, because she was truly lost in her memories, so the lightning struck was a wakeup call for the Valkyrie.

(Cough Cough): "My rib cage...a few bones are broken...(Coughing Blood)...young Issei really has done some damage to me...however I would expect nothing less from the disciple of Great Madara, they are strong these two, it truly looks like I have no choice, please forgive me sister Rossweisse and Queen Freya, but I must win this fight for you my queen, even if I have to use that technique." Brynhildr said to herself watching the heavy rain fall onto her person.

The Commentator: "...Seven..."

The Valkyrie brought her hands together closed her eyes and began singing an ancient Norse prayer

"Hail Freya, Vanadis,

I ask for protection,

Under your falcon wings

And war-maiden's shield.

Help me to make peace among my enemies.

Give me the courage to fight again

For if I am battle-slain in truth

May my actions be worthy of your choosing.

Hail Freya, Lady of Sessrúmnir

Help me to set boundaries for myself

So I can honor the boundaries of others,

For as your home, when locked,

Is protected by your will

Let me be also protected

And closed against trespasses,

Yet may my hospitality be true

And help me act in frith.

Help me to pay fairly

And to accept fairly what is my due.

Show me your just ways.

Hail Seidhkona,

Holder of Magic and Keeper of Mysteries.

Teach me to see the magic in all things.

Help me to move between the veil,

Allow me to walk among the worlds.

May I glimpse in your forge of dreams

By Seidhr rune-wise and true as words from your tongue.

Hail Goddess of Beauty,

Amber-laden Creatrix, Mistress of Brisingamen.

Ignite within me the creative spark.

Help me to bring beauty

Into my own deeds and all that I make.

May the fierceness of your eyes

Lend me their keen awareness

That I might see none other

Than your face before my work

Let me be ignited with Need-Fire, your Will."

The Vanir goddess's attention was brought to her forearms as she could see her tattoos begin to glow bright Red, and Freya knew exactly what that meant, Brynhildr was forgoing her Valkyrie status to gain more power, unfortunately there was nothing Freya could do, if this was Brynhildr's decision she must accept it even if she doesn't like it.

A tear ran down Freya's face as she already lost one Valkyrie, to now lose another was really taking it's toll on the Queen of the Valkyries.

"Make sure you win Brynhildr." Freya said to herself while still watching her battered and bruised former Valkyrie.

The Commentator: "...Eight..."

Once again Freya's attention was guided to her arms as she could see the tattoo that had Brynhildr's name in Norse text faded away, truly signifying that Brynhildr has given up her Valkyrie status.

"Fly my little one." Freya said with a sad smile.

*Lightning&Thunder*

Brynhildr's eyes shot wide open as she could feel an incredible surge of energy entering her body.

Madara, Jesus and many other members of the Akatsuki raised their eye brows as they could all sense the incredible surge of energy entering Brynhildr's body.

"I have been very confident throughout this entire affair, however even I have to admit, that this does look troublesome for Hyoudou and Asuka." Madara said as he was actually surprised at what he was sensing.

"Is this even normal for a Valkyrie?!" Tsukuyomi questioned.

Yasaka: "It's insane how much power she is gathering, if I didn't have KCM, I probably would have struggled against her."

Tiamat: "And if I wasn't a god, she might very well rival me, this is just madness, so much power for a Valkyrie."

"Be careful, Asuka this is one opponent that can punish you if you make one mistake." Jesus said to himself as he was shocked that a Valkyrie can generate this much power.

The Commentator: "...Nine..."

*Ground Shaking*

Issei stopped his walk to Sigrun as this mini earthquake was definitely not a natural phenomenon, it was completely man-made.

Asuka was up next, she too was suspicious of this earthquake, she was not foolish enough to believe Brynhildr had nothing to do with it.

The rest of the Valkyries looked on with sombre expressions as they all knew what that prayer signified, after this battle Brynhildr will no longer become a part of them

The Commentator: "...Te..."

The commentator was not allowed to finish his counting as a beam of light erupted from the spot Brynhildr was resting and it shot all the way up to the cloudy rainy sky.

Issei immediately turned around as this light show now completely caught his attention, the Red Dragon Emperor was now wondering what was coming next.

Issei squinted his eyes and he could see the figure and silhouette Brynhildr standing within the bright light and the Red Dragon Emperor made sure to keep his guard up, he was not foolish enough to make the same mistake as his lover Kalawarner and underestimate his opponent.

The light eventually exploded, creating quite the blinding effect for many of the individuals present, Issei was forced to cover his eyes with his hands as the light was a bit much, a few moments went by and the light eventually subsided allowing, the rest of the populace's eyes to stabilize and what they saw was truly out of the ordinary.

Brynhildr's appearance completely changed, or more specifically what she was wearing, where as before she was wearing the basic Valkyrie armour, her attire seemed to have taken an upgrade with her wearing an armour that looked similar to Freya's but with one key distinction, her armour was completely made of platinum, giving her outfit quite the bling.

Issei continued to keep his guard up, because the power he was sensing was not something to snuff about, Brynhildr was stronger, extremely stronger than before.

It was such a bitter sweet moment for the queen of the Valkyries as Brynhildr looked absolutely breath-taking, the epitome of a divine Shield-maiden, but the painful part was that this was her last fight as a shield-maiden, Freya was going to make absolute sure to enjoy watching it to the fullest.

"Well someone's got a new look." Athena said as Brynhildr was a bit too shiny and flashy for the goddess's taste.

"Let's see if it's not all just for show." Ra said as he was quite curious and intrigued at what he was looking at

Brynhildr stretched her neck, allowing the blood to flow, the Valkyrie intends to win this fight for Freya and she was going to make absolute damn sure her queen wins.

Issei: "Nice outfit you got th..."

The student of Madara was not allowed to finish his sentence as Brynhildr sonic boomed her way to Issei intending to punch the boy's head off.

Issei caught her punched but was incredibly surprised by Brynhildr's speed and power, the Red Dragon Emperor narrowly avoided getting punched.

"Woah there! I was still talking y..."

Once again Issei was not allowed to speak as Brynhildr kept launching fists at the Red Dragon Emperor and the force of her punches were creating airwaves.

(Dodge): "You know...(Block)...it's rude...(Block)...to attack someone...(Dodge)...when they are still...(Block)...trying to speak. Issei said but this did not deter Brynhildr, in-fact it fuelled her even more as she just continued the onslaught of fists and kicks.

Issei needed some space therefore he Flying Raijined to a feather that was quite some distance away, just as Issei teleported to the feather he was not given a moment to breath as his sensed flared up, Brynhildr was directly above him, coming at her opponent with full force

*Lightning&Thunder*

The Red Dragon Emperor moved out of the way, causing Brynhildr to punch the ground and created quite the sizeable crater.

Brynhildr didn't go easy on the pedal, and kept coming at Issei with all her might, once again the exchange of fists and kicks ensued and Issei was greatly overwhelmed by his opponent.

The Valkyrie eventually made contacted with Issei's chest, giving the Red Dragon Emperor a devastating punch.

Issei was shocked by the power of the punch, it felt like he got hit by a double-decker bus, it took a bit of time for Issei to get back to his feet, however unfortunately for the Red Dragon Emperor the punch was only half the damage.

As the Red Dragon Emperor got to his feet he was immediately brought back to his knees once more as it felt like he got punched again in the very same spot as before.

Madara: "Hoo?"

Jesus: "Hmm..."

'Ah fuck! what the fuck was that?! Did I just get punched again?' Issei asked himself as he doesn't remember seeing Brynhildr launching another punch.

'No you didn't get punched again partner, something is just off about her original punch, there is more to it.' Ddraig said creating a mental-link with his host.

Issei eventually got back on his feet and once again took a fighting stance ready to get back in the fight.

"Hmph...want to go again boy? Fine then, let's see how long you last." Brynhildr said giving Issei a no-nonsense expression and took a fighting stance.

*Fist Collide*

*Lighting&Thunder*

Issei and Brynhildr collided once more and engaged in exchange of fists and kicks, and just as before Issei was clearly being overwhelmed by the Valkyrie, he was mostly on the defence in this exchange of fists and kicks.

Brynhildr swiftly dodged a punch launched by Issei and immediately countered by kicking the host of Ddraig at his exposed rib cage, which caused his to skid a bit to the side.

Once Issei got his bearings his intention was to launch at his opponent but the phenomenon that happened before, happened once more, Issei dropped to his knees nursing his right rib cage as it felt like he got kicked again.

'Fuck man! What the Hell?! Why does it feel like I got kicked again?!' Issei questioned as this clearly was not a coincidence.

'Something is up with her attacks, there is more to them then what meets the eye.' Ddraig said as he has been paying close attention to the Valkyries attacks.

The brains of the Akatsuki began going in overdrive as they were wondering what the hell is going on with Issei, the likes of Madara, Jesus, Zeus, Athena, Amaterasu, Ra, Buddha, Vishnu, Azazel, Michael, Hephaestus, and Tsukuyomi were all paying close attention as to what was going on.

After some time nursing his injury, Issei got up and faced his opponent.

*Lightning&Thunder*

Brynhildr just opened her body up, savoury the rain drenching her body and armour, she was using the rain as a reminder of that day, the day where she was powerless to do anything to protect her family, she was channel that pain into power in this battle against Issei.

"Your up? Good I am not yet done with you." Brynhildr said shifting her attention to the Red Dragon Emperor, and when the Valkyrie and Issei looked eyes, Issei could see an anger in her like no other, he was starting to get a bit intimidated.

*Fists Collide*

Once again the two combatants clashed and began the exchange of fists and kicks and it was the same old story, Issei was getting dominated and overwhelmed in this transaction, the Red Dragon Emperor then proceeded to boost himself ten times hoping that will give him the advantage, however Brynhildr easily adapted and kept Issei at bay and just as before Issei slipped up having an attack of his dodged and this time Brynhildr severely punished the student of Madara, landing hits on his jaw, shoulder, abdomen and right knee which resulted in the Dragon Emperor taking flight and crashing into a wall.

Issei was now getting pissed, for him to be man-handled like this was embarrassing for him, especially after he made a promise to Kalawarner that he would get revenge on her behalf, Issei wasted no time and un-stucked himself from the wall and was about to blitz his way to his opponent however once again Issei took flight and crashed into the same spot as before, experiencing pain in the same spots he was hit previously by his opponent.

(Panting): 'Ddraig...(Panting)...buddy?...please tell me ghosts aren't real.' Issei said as this was now starting to scare him, it was like he was getting hit again but he is certain that Brynhildr doesn't touch him after her fist initial hit.

Ddraig: (Sigh)'Issei my partner, you live in a world where supernatural beings and gods exist...(Short Pause)...what do you think? But anyway that's not what is important, I think I have figured out what is going on here.'

'Well don't leave me hanging here buddy, fill me in.' Issei requested as he has no idea what is going on with him.

"Double hit markers huh? Basic but still quite effective." Madara said as he finally understood what was going on.

"Freya's Valkyries always have something up their sleeves, Issei's lucky he has the Ddraig within him, the Welsh Dragon is known for his immense stamina, if it was one of your fallen angels or young Kunou here they would be struggling to be getting up, against those attacks." Jesus said as he too was able to put the pieces together.

"Well if there is one thing the Valkyries have, it sure is versatility in their arsenal." Vishnu added as he was another to understand what was going on.

"Can you guys be so kind as to not talk amongst yourself and inform the rest of us as to what the hell is going on, because the rest of us don't understand what is happening." Penemue said as she has been hating it when those who are smart within the Akatsuki speak as if all of them know what is going on.

"Like Madara said, Brynhildr is using double hit markers, Brynhildr is mostly likely imbuing her limbs with runic magic, and when ever she lands a hit on Issei, he gets marked with the runic magic, Brynhildr at some point activates the runic marks on Issei's body dealing him with a does of double damage." Athena explained.

"That is exactly what she is doing, Freya here has the same ability, once your opponent gets a hit on you, they mark you, thus giving you another dealing of the damage, it can be quite painful." Odin said, remembering when Freya used that very same ability on him.

'So in turn partner, avoid getting touched by all cost, because it will not end well for you, if she keeps landing hits on you.' Ddraig concluded.

'Shit, easier said then done Ddraig, fuck I have to try.' Issei said ending the mental-link between him and Ddraig.

The Red Dragon Emperor got to his feet once again and faced his opponent, but this time he was quite nervous, for him to make it out of this battle he essentially has to be flawless, Issei is not known for his martial arts he has always been a brawler, this match was an extreme disadvantage for the student of Madara.

Brynhildr wasted no time and blitzed her way to Issei and just when she was inches from colliding with her target, she was kicked from her side, which caused her too skid a bit.

"Hey! There is more than one person you have to deal with here, don't forget about that." Asuka said as she finally choose to intervene.

Brynhildr recovered from the attack and shifted her attention to Asuka and looked at her with pure rage.

"Oh please bitch you don't scare me, remember I am the strongest." Asuka said then flexed her powers which did slightly push Brynhildr back.

The Valkyrie's anger got the better of her and she launched for Asuka, the Toriyama just smiled and copied her actions, launching to her target.

*Fists Collide*

This match up was much more balanced as Asuka was doing much better than Issei in terms of exchanging fists and kicks, the Toriyama was even landing a few hits on Brynhildr, but the truly fascinating thing was that Asuka was doing exceptionally well, too well actually, because when Brynhildr would land a hit on Asuka, it absolutely had no effect on the host of Jesus.

Madara and Jesus smiled at what Asuka was doing once again the Toriyama was showing once again why she is the powerhouse of the group.

(Clears throat)

Everyone shifted their attention to Penemue, and the fallen angel looked at Madara, expecting an explanation.

"Your eyes always land on me, what if I don't understand what is happening?" Madara questioned while smirking.

(Rolls eyes) "Oh please, you know exactly what is happening, now please be so kind as to explain why Asuka is not getting damaged even though Brynhildr is clearly hitting her." Penemue requested.

"Hmph...that's the thing, the Valkyrie is not hitting her." Madara said and for those who did not understand they were really curious as to what Madara means by that.

"What do you mean?" Freya questioned as she was genuinely confused at what Madara said.

Jesus: "He is not wrong, remember Asuka unlocked a power of one of my disciples, Mary Magdalene?"

Freya: "Yes..."

"What the girl is doing is what I tend to do with my Limbo clone, instead of Asuka getting hit , she summons one of her spirits and essentially uses it as a body guard, so the Valkyrie is not hitting Asuka, she is hitting one of her spirits, meaning she can fight without suffering any consequences."

Once Brynhildr heard Madara's explanation her eyes widened in shock as she completely forgot that Asuka had such an ability, this lapse in concentration was severely punished as Asuka kneed her opponent in the abdomen then uppercut her in the chin, sending Brynhildr flying.

The Valkyrie responded quickly flapping her wings resulting in her gaining stability and then landed on the ground once more.

*Lightning&Thunder*

This time both Asuka and Issei launched at the Valkyrie and launched fists and kicks at her resulting in Brynhildr becoming massively disadvantaged, the Valkyrie was being bullied and it wasn't pretty, however this onslaught would not last long as Sigrun finally entered the battle and tackled Issei to the ground, giving her team-mate some breathing room.

Sigrun straddled Issei and began punching the Red Dragon Emperor's face, Issei had about enough and Flying Raijined out of that situation, however this was not a smart move, because since Issei moved out of there he essentially left Asuka to fend of herself.

Sigrun saw this as an opportunity and aided her team-mate Brynhildr in attacking the Toriyama, now it was one thing of Asuka to use Spirit Control to mitigate Brynhildr's attacks but for her to try and mitigate both Valkyries was another story.

Asuka had no choice she used Spirit control to absorb Brynhildr's fists and kicks however that left her completely exposed to Sigrun's attacks which were quite the problem.

Issei saw the flaw in his plan and decided to go with another idea, he Flying Raijined next to Asuka and stood behind the Toriyama, placing his hand on her back.

Issei: "Brace yourself Asuka."

Asuka: "Huh?...(Block)...For what?"

"BOOST BOOST BOOST BOOST BOOST BOOST BOOST BOOST BOOST BOOST"

Issei was pouring a lot of power into Asuka's system and it felt absolutely intoxicating for the Toriyama, she felt an unbelievable surge of power course through her veins.

Asuka give her opponents a devilish smile as she was now more than equipped to deal with two Valkyries at once.

Issei moved back a bit and had to take a knee all this powering up and Flying Raijin around was now eating at his stamina, the Red Dragon Emperor could feel it, he was nearing the end.

Asuka was having an absolute field day, with her two opponents, her movements were lightning quick, her fists and kicks were earth shattering strong and her reflexes were on par with Kunou's, the Toriyama didn't even need to use Spirit Control to aid her, she was a cheat-code all on her own.

Brynhildr and Sigrun were truly stunned by the Toriyama, it felt like Asuka could've started the battle against all the six Valkyries and still hold her own, she was dodging and blocking everything they were throwing at her, and in-turn the Toriyama was landing devastating counter-attacks.

Sigrun pulled back, brought her hands together and summoned Einherjar, and the warriors of Valhalla sprouted from the ground, ready to support the Valkyries, however this plan of attack was countered immediately as Asuka just summoned her angelic spirits and the warriors of heaven made quick work of the warriors of Valhalla.

Sigrun, Brynhildr and Freya were absolutely bewildered by the Toriyama's display, it looked like nothing could stop the powerhouse of Madara's team.

Asuka picked up the Tempo and was landing hit after hit, on Brynhildr, unfortunately for the Valkyrie she just couldn't keep up with the combined power of Jesus Christ, Mary Magdalene and Ddraig the Red Dragon Emperor, she was suffering devastating blows, and the more hits Asuka landed the more it ate away at Brynhildr's endurance and Stamina.

*Lightning&Thunder*

"Why?"

Brynhildr: "Huh?"

The Valkyrie was confused as she could've sworn she heard someone speaking to her.

"Why..."

Once again Brynhildr was lost and this lapse in concentration was punished, as Asuka punched the Valkyrie in the face sending her to the floor.

"Why Brynhildr?"

The Valkyrie opened her eyes and looked to the side and could see her little sister staring at her with sad eyes.

"Helga?...Little sister is that you?!" Brynhildr questioned as the Valkyrie couldn't believe what her eyes were seeing.

"Why Brynhildr? Why did you allow me to die?" Helga questioned with her now changing appearances, she changed from looking like the adorable, innocent little sister Brynhildr remembered her as, to now being the bloody, battered and deformed casualty the invaders years ago left her as.

"No Helga my sweet sister...it was not like that...I would never want you to die." Brynhildr responded looking at her bloody sister.

"YOU LIE!" Helga shouted in anger.

(Tears Falling): "I wish everyday my sister that it was me...(Tears Falling)...I wish it was me who died and not you, if anyone deserved to live it is you, not me my sister." Brynhildr said with tears running across her face.

"Then why am I dead? Why are you alive?! Why do you have the opportunity to live and I don't?! You were weak Brynhildr, why didn't you protect me?! I was your little sister and you watched them beat me to death." Helga said with her wounds oozing more blood.

Asuka began to walk to her opponent as she was far from finished with the divine shield-maiden, the Toriyama noticed that Brynhildr was looking to the side, but Asuka saw nothing but a wall, she was wondering what exactly caught the Valkyrie's eye.

The rain was doing an excellent job at covering up Brynhildr's tears, no one could tell that the Valkyrie was crying, but it did seem odd that she was getting up and returning to the fight.

Sigrun noticed that Brynhildr was not being herself, therefore she decided to cover her team-mate and intercepted Asuka and the two ladies engaged in battle.

Brynhildr blinked and when she opened her eyes what she saw shocked her even more so, this time the Valkyrie could see her entire family, all of them bloody and battered, looking at her with anger and disdain.

(Crying) "Father? Mother? Little Brother?...how I have missed you all." Brynhildr said as this was a bitter sweet moment for the Valkyrie, as she was happy to see her entire family, but was also heartbroken due to their physical state, it was painful to see them as bloody messes.

"Don't lie Brynhildr, you watched us die, you watched those bastards beat me and Helga up, you are strong now, but we needed you to be strong then, we needed you to protect us...(Clicks Tongue)...you being a Valkyrie means nothing to us, you are nothing elder sister." Brynhildr's little brother stated looking at his sister with pure rage.

Brynhildr shifted her attention from her family, back to the sky and once again the thick dark grey clouds and the pouring rain, reminded her of that day, that oh so horrible day, the worst day of her life.

The Valkyrie cried, she absolutely cried her eyes out and due to the intense rain, no one noticed, not even the person who knows her best, Freya.

*Lightning&Thunder*

The Vanir goddess was curious as to why Brynhildr just choose to lay on the floor, it is clear that she is not down for the count, so it was just odd for her to see her Valkyrie not engaging in the fight.

"You are nothing...You are nothing...You are nothing...You are nothing...You are nothing...You are nothing..." began echoing in Brynhildr's mind as she watched the rain pour down on her body and armour.

Buddha opened his eyes and focused his attention the Valkyrie, he could sense something dark and sinister brewing within Brynhildr.

"It's your fault...It's your fault...It's your fault...It's your fault...It's your fault...It's your fault...It's your fault..." These were the next words to echo in the Valkyrie's head, she was slowly beginning to lose her sanity.

Images of that day, kept flashing in her mind, her farther being murdered, her mother be raped, her two younger siblings being beaten to death, they kept playing over and over and over and over and over again.

The Valkyrie shifted her attention back to her family, as she was willing to do anything to receive their love and validation.

"Please my family...(Crying)...don't leave me again, please stay with me...(Crying)...I will do anything."

"Abandon everything and destroy all that is in your path." Helga said with her and the entire family giving Brynhildr a twisted and evil smile.

"I can't, I am where I am today, because of queen Freya." Brynhildr said

(Clicks Tongue): "So much devotion for Freya, can she even see your tears elder sister?" Helga questioned

Brynhildr paused for a minute, what her little sister said was true, Freya has always stated that she would look out and care for Brynhildr, but at this moment right now where she is at her lowest, shedding tears, the queen of the Valkyries has remained seated watching the shield-maiden.

"We are the ones that are here Brynhildr, we are the ones that see your tears, we are your true family, think about it, why didn't Freya responded earlier when those barbarians invaded our home in Vanaheim, perhaps all of us would still remain alive, perhaps we could still be a family." Helga said tilting her head to the side while giving her sister a psychotic bloody smile.

Once again Brynhildr was forced to contemplate, she couldn't argue against her sister's words, if Freya did arrive sooner, than that nightmare she experienced as a child wouldn't of happened.

*Fists Collide*

Sigrun was being completely man-handled by Asuka, it honestly wasn't a fair fight, Asuka was landing hit after hit on the Valkyrie, and it was taking it's toll on the Valkyrie of Victory, but she said it before and she will prove it, no matter what, she will not fall, she just has to buy Brynhildr more time, she was confident that her team-mate will rise again.

Helga "Who do you love more Brynhildr? Us or Freya?"

(Crying): "Please I beg of you...(Crying)...don't make me choose." Brynhildr pleaded as all this was getting too much for her.

Helga: "Weren't you the one who said, you would do anything for us?"

"Yes but..."

"...no buts Brynhildr, it's now or never, you choose us, or you choose Freya." Helga said, not giving her sister the chance to finish.

Brynhildr shifted her attention back to the sky and closed her eyes, this was too much for her, the Valkyrie can't forget about all the things Freya has done for her, but this was her family, the people that were there for her since day one, this is becoming the hardest decision of her life.

Helga and the rest of her family watched on in disappointment, it is clear that the Brynhildr was having second thoughts.

"Fine...it's seems that you have made your mind up, goodbye elder sister." Helga said as she and the rest of the family turned around and began walking away.

"No!...no please! Don't ever live me, it's fine I will do it, I will do anything, for my family I will give up my life, I choose you all over Freya, just please don't leave me." Brynhildr pleaded shifting her attention back to her family.

Brynhildr's entire family gave her a evil smile as they were more than pleased to hear her decision.

Helga then brought her hands together and a black magic circle appeared on the ground beside them and the magic circle revealed no another than the son of the devil himself, Rizevim Livan Lucifer.

"Did I do good? Lord Rizevim?" Helga questioned as she run up to and hugged the leader of the Old Satan Faction.

(Sinister Chuckle): "You did an excellent job Helga, having Brynhildr on our side will prove very vital." Rizevim said while petting the top of Helga's head.

What was truly unfortunate about this situation was that all this was happening in Brynhildr's head, yes it is indeed true that Rizevim is present however since this is all happening in Brynhildr's mindscape no one can literally see him or detect him.

"You? You are Rizevim Lucifer...why are you here child of the devil?" Brynhildr questioned as she was mighty confused as to why the leader of the Old Satan Faction is with is family.

"Oh me?...I'm here to offer you a proposal of course, join the Old Satan Faction Brynhildr and you will be reunited with your family, now and forever." Rizevim said activating his charming persona once again.

Buddha kept his eyes on Brynhildr, although he could see nothing out of the ordinary, he still kept his eyes on the Valkyrie, that dark and sinister energy he sensed within the shield-maiden was growing stronger by the second.

"A deal with the devil huh..."

Brynhildr looked at her family and craved to be with them more than anything, so if it means turning to the dark side, than so be it, she wants her family.

"I have already decided to go with my family, so fine, I accept...I Brynhildr strongest of all the Valkyries, the only divine shield-maiden will join the Old-Satan Faction."

Rizevim psychotically smiled from ear to ear, this was much easier than he thought it would be.

(Evil Chuckle): "Excellent choice, firstly my dear Valkyrie, what is the perhaps of this whole battle? We have just recently arrived here in the Norse mythology, I would appreciate you to get me up to speed." Rizevim requested.

Brynhildr: "Of course my Lord, this battle is for the right of the Akatsuki's next move, a fight between Great Madara's group and us the Valkyries of queen Freya."

"Hoo? Akatsuki's next move you say? Please elaborate." Rizevim requested while stroking his goatee.

"Great Madara, has learned about Odin's past with the giants and advocates that the Akatsuki abandons all hope regarding the giants, he believes that the giants will join the Old Satan Faction no matter what, Queen Freya believes differently, due to her positive relationship and emotional ties with the residents of Jotunheim, she believes it is in the Akatsuki's best interest to try and convince the giants to join the Akatsuki." Brynhildr explained.

*Lightning&Thunder*

(Psychotic Laughter): "This is why I like you Madara, you tend to have common sense at times, Freya is a fool if she believes she can convince the giants to join the Akatsuki, but you know what, her naive foolishness can actually be used in our favour, her is your first assignment my Valkyrie, make Freya win, immediately after the battle, cut all times with the goddess and report back to me, you will find us at the entrance of Jotunheim." Rizevim ordered.

"Wait my Lord, the students of Madara are strong, Asuka in particular is problematic, I don't know if I can win against them, I require assistance." Brynhildr said.

"Oh is that all? Not a problem my dear Valkyrie, here is a little gift from me." Rizevim said then walked all the way to where Brynhildr was laying, Lucifer's second born crouched down and placed his hand on the Valkyrie's chest.

"Welcome to the Old Satan Faction." Rizevim said then began pumping obscene levels of Stray devil energy into Brynhildr and the Valkyrie could only describe this power in one word, Addictive, the more Rizevim began pouring Stray Devil energy into the divine shield-maiden, the more powerful and capable she was feeling.

Buddha's senses were now fully screaming at him, as now the sinister energy in Brynhildr was exploding, but still he couldn't see anything out of the ordinary.

Madara was up next, with him being in Sage mode he was beginning to sense something dark coming from the Valkyrie, but it was quite difficult to fully understand what power was it as the dark energy was mixing with the Valkyrie's divine Aesir energy.

Buddha shifted his attention to Madara and looked intensively at the Uchiha.

Our protagonist caught Buddha staring at him, and decided to use his Sharingan to have a mental-link conversation with the man of peace.

Madara: 'Buddha.'

'Good you catch on quick Madara, I was hoping we could converse just as two, I take it, due to you being a perfect Sage, you are sensing something not quite right with Brynhildr.' Buddha said shifting his attention back to the Valkyrie.

'Indeed, this dark energy I am sensing from her, does seem familiar, I just cannot definitively identify it, due to it mixing with her divine energy, but the truly concerning thing is how much stronger she is becoming, her power is sky rocketing.' Madara said with him too focusing on the Valkyrie.

'That is also my concern, this surge in power is not natural, especially for a divine shield-maiden, how should we handle this?' Buddha questioned.

'Let's observe how things play out, of it becomes problematic both of us will intervene, indeed she is getting stronger, but she is still a child compared to us.' Madara said.

'I see, very well then, we shall pounce when it seems dangerous.' Buddha said ending the mental-link.

"I believe that should be enough, for now." Rizevim said as he stopped giving Brynhildr Stray devil energy, which did greatly upset the Valkyrie as she was enjoying indulging in the devil's power.

Rizevim: "Well then I will be taking my leave, don't fall me now, my Valkyrie."

"Never my Lord, for you and for my family, I will bring glory to the Old Satan Faction, Brynhildr said looking at Lucifer's second born with lustful eyes.

"Good, I expect to see you soon Brynhildr." Rizevim said then disappeared with Brynhildr's family.

*Lightning&Thunder*

*Ground Shaking*

Asuka and Sigrun immediately stopped their fighting as this tectonic Earthquake caught not only theirs, but everyone's attention.

"HAAAAAAAAAA!"

Brynhildr once again was covered in a beam of light that shot to the sky, but the difference that this beam of light was a mixture of black, grey and red.

The rain kicked into another gear and was pouring down even more intensely, if it poured down any harder than the arena would begin to flood.

All the fighters shifted their attention to the ominous dark beam of light, as they were having a bad feeling about all this.

Just as before they could see the silhouette of Brynhildr standing in the light, but this time she looked like she was dancing and rejoicing in the light, many of the spectators could see Brynhildr touching and caressing her own body.

The light eventually evaporated and what everyone saw, made them raise their eye brows, Brynhildr's appearance took another drastic change, as the Valkyrie's armour changed from a bright and shiny platinum, to a black and red metallic finish, her eyes also changed colours with them evolving from her baby blue to a Sharingan Red.

Brynhildr stretched her neck and body to get the blood pumping as she was itching to test out her new powers.

"Brynhildr? My sister is that you?" Sigrun questioned as this was quite the transformation for her comrade.

(Sinister Chuckle): "Who else would it be Sigrun?" Brynhildr questioned giving her friend a devilish smile.

Issei and Asuka looked on rather confused at what was happening, this was not what they were expecting.

Brynhildr finished her stretching and focused her attention on a certain Red Dragon Emperor.

Brynhildr: "Sigrun my dear friend, make sure you stay out of the way."

Within an instant Brynhildr sonic boomed her way to Issei and punched the Red Dragon Emperor in the face with such force that it sent him flying, he crashed into a wall but the difference this time was Brynhildr's hit was so strong it completely knocked out Issei.

*The Commentator: "The Red Dragon Emperor of this generation, Issei Hyoudou, has been eliminated."

Everyone and literally everyone, was absolutely shocked at what they just saw, just a few moments ago Issei was at least rivalling Brynhildr, so now to see her make quick work of him like he was nothing was truly jarring.

Brynhildr turned her attention to Asuka and blitzed her way to Toriyama kneeing her in the abdomen, Asuka was forced to her knees and was spewing out jugs of blood from her mouth, she swears she heard a few bones breaking.

"Let me finish this quick, so I can return to my beloved Lord and family." Brynhildr said to herself.

The Valkyrie then proceeded to grab Asuka's hair and pulled her up so that they can be at eye level.

"Goodbye Asuka." Brynhildr said then grabbed Asuka face and launched into the skies well beyond the clouds and then returned quicker than the speed of lightning crashing Asuka into a ground, creating the biggest crater that has been seen throughout this battle.

"Uh...ummm...I suppose that is it, Asuka Toriyama, the host of Jesus Christ and future of Christianity has now been eliminated, therefore this battle has reached it's conclusion, the winners are the Valkyries, therefore the winner of the feud is the goddess Freya, congratulations." The commentator announced but to say he was surprised was an understatement, he just couldn't believe what happened moments ago.

As for the rest of the spectators, shocked isn't the correct word to describe how they are feeling, it was downright dumbfounding, to have witness what Brynhildr just did to Asuka and Issei.

"As promised you win my queen." Brynhildr bowed faking her loyalty to Freya.

Freya was not sure how to respond, yes she won, but this was far from what she expected.

"Uhmmm...yes! Yes!...(Clapping hands)...well done my Valkyries, I always knew you could do it." Freya said still bewildered at what has transpired.

A good majority of the spectators also joined in and clapped for the Valkyries, honestly at this moment it looked like it was the only thing they could do.

*HandsClapping*

After a few minutes all the Akatsuki members shifted their attention to Madara as they were wondering what he thinks about the whole thing.

"It does seem that things have not gone according to plan, but...(Short Pause)...oh well, I still stay with my initial suggestion, it would be a waste of time trying to recruit the giants, it is a fools errand." Madara said giving of his classic stoic expression.

"A promise is a promise Madara, I won, therefore the Akatsuki will head to Jotunheim to recruit the giants, and you best believe you are coming along, I wish for you to see how wrong you are about the giants, they will join our cause, I guarantee it." Freya said now giving off a cocky smile.

Madara: "Hmph."

"My queen, I know this is sudden, however may I please be excused, there is something that requires my attention." Brynhildr said.

Freya looked at her shield-maiden with a curious stare, but since she won the battle for her, she would grant anything Brynhildr would want.

"Sure of course, we shall see later Brynhildr." Freya said.

With that the Valkyrie bowed once more, flapped her wings and took to the skies, heading for the exit of Asgard.

Madara brought his hands together and performed a cluster of hands sighs, performing two Jutsus, firstly he stopped the rain from pouring, however the dark clouds remained in the sky, which did interest Madara, secondly a shadow clone popped up at the Arena floor and went to go collect Issei and Asuka so, Asia can go about healing them.

The clone eventually dropped off the two students of Madara, and Asia got to work healing her two close friends.

*Lightning&Thunder*

"Oh come on Madara, give it a rest already with the lightning, the fight is over." Amaterasu said while rolling her eyes as she found it useless to keep the lightning.

"This isn't me." Madara responded narrowing his eyes while looking at the sky.

Many of the Akatsuki looked at him with a confused stare, because if he wasn't causing the lightning, then who was.

"His right, it isn't him, looks like someone has finally decided to show up." Zeus said as he knew very well who was causing the lightning.

"Hmph took him long enough." Susanoo said as the Shinto god of the storm and the seas was also well aware of who was making an appearance.

The lightning become more intense and the thunder become much, louder for the rest of the spectators, they were truly wondering as to who was causing this thunder show.

Madara paid close attention to the voltage he was sensing from the lightning and even he had to admit, that what he was sensing was quite something, even he could feel that whoever was causing the lightning was close to rivalling what he can produce.

A massive bolt of lightning struck the arena and it's light blinded quite a number of individuals, however when the light died down everyone could see a group of individuals standing in the middle of the arena.

Odin and Sif released a joyful smile, as they were more than happy to see the individuals that have made an appearance.

"Father, I have returned." One of the individuals said from the group, with him looking directly at Odin.

"Welcome back Thor." Odin said still keeping his joyful smile.

The individuals that made this dramatic appearance, were no other, Thor the Norse god of thunder, Tyr the Norse god of War, Heimdall the Norse god of brightness and herald of Ragnarok, Thrud the daughter of Sif and Thor, Rossweisse the Valkyrie loyal to Odin, and Freyr the twin brother of Freya.

"And what exactly happened here?" Tyr questioned as he could see the arena grounds were a complete mess, it looked like a war just occurred without his knowledge.

"Yes could someone please explain, what exactly have we missed out on." Rossweisse requested as she could see cracked walls, severely damaged grounds with numerous craters spread all around it, dried up blood all over and burnt marks.

"Long story." Baldur stated, as he felt sorry that they missed out on so much.

"Well someone better start talking." Thor requested as there was no ways he wanted to be left out .

Since she was the closest, Sigrun made her way to Thor's group, bowed before them and went about explaining all the details of what has transpired in the last 24 hours.

(Sigh): "That definitely sounds like my sister." Freyr said while face palming and shaking his head.

"Hey! I at least one, give me some credit Freyr." Freya shouted from her corner as she was annoyed by her brother's tone.

Thor immediately began scanning the VIP section, until his eyes landed on one specific individual, he then proceeded to fly towards the target of his interest.

"So you are Madara Uchiha huh?" Thor questioned as he was now hovering above Madara and company.

"What of it?" Madara responded.

"Look more like a ladies man, than a threat, you don't seem all that impressive." Thor stated, seeing that Madara was surrounded by women

Once again Madara's girls tensed up, as they did not take to kind to Madara being disrespected.

"Thor...my son, remember that man you are speaking to, saved both my life and Freya's life here from being devoured by Pandora's destructive energy, do show respect to Madara Uchiha." Odin demanded, as the All-farther will not tolerate this behaviour from his son.

Thor just kept staring at Madara, sizing him up, the god of thunder heard that Madara could produce a lightning dragon, that gave Zeus a freight, he most definitely wanted to see it, but for now he will be respectful to his father's guest.

"Farther, don't forget why we rushed back so early." Thrud said as she was getting annoyed that her farther was getting distracted by having a staring contest with the Ghost of the Uchiha.

"Yes...what brings you back so soon my love?" Sif questioned, granted she was over the moon to see her husband and daughter again, but she knew that they were not due for at least a few more days.

"The Old-Satan Faction have arrived, they have made a base in Helheim, and quite a number of them make their way to Jotunheim." Heimdall said, as he can see his brother was still very much interested in Madara.

Quite a number of the Akatsuki were surprised, yes they knew that the Old-Satan Faction would arrive in the Norse-mythology, however they didn't expect it to be this quick, looks like they heading straight to Jotunheim after this.

"Well then, there is no other perfect time than to exercise my right for the Akatsuki's next move than now, Akatsuki we head of Jotunheim at once." Freya ordered.

"This will not end well, I guarantee it, however I gave my word, so be it then let us commence on this fool's errand." Madara said with him now deactivating Sage mode.

*At the Entrance of Jotunheim, with the Old-Satan Faction*

(Stomach Growling): "I'm hungry Rizevim." Pandora said as she has been having her stomach growling for the past hour.

"Then why didn't you eat before we left our base Pandora?" Rizevim questioned while looking at the gate to enter Jotunheim.

"Yuck! No ways, you actually expected that I would have Ares's cooking? His a God of War, not God of Pots." Pandora said as she grabbed Rizevim's left arm and began nagging the leader of the Old-Satan Faction.

"Hey! What's wrong with my cooking?" Ares questioned as he did not take too kindly to Pandora's tone.

"It's disgusting, I mean did anyone here have Ares's cooking?" Pandora questioned.

Ares shifted his attention to his comrades as he was looking for at least someone to say they enjoyed his cooking.

Diana, Victoria, Loki, Nyx, and Hades all looked to the side and just enjoyed the scenery, choosing to dodge Ares's gaze.

"Seriously...none of you?" Ares questioned.

Diana: "I mean I'm a vampire, my primary diet is blood."

Hades: "God of the underworld here, I don't really have to eat."

Nyx: "Same here primordial goddess of the night, eating is just a luxury for me."

Victoria: "Oh I'm fasting love."

Loki: (Stomach Growling) "Wasn't really that hungry to begin with."

Ares looked defeated he knows very well that they were lying, they do eat, especially when Hera cooks, but for now he had no choice but to accept things as they are.

"Anyway, let's get down to business." Rizevim said as he believed that was enough fooling around.

"You sure you know how to open this." Pandora questioned looking at this massive gate that was keeping them from entering Jotunheim.

Hades: "Oh he better, there is nothing more I despise, than time wasted, open the gate Rizevim."

(Sigh): "Always so pessimistic and uptight Hades, it's a wonder how Persephone can handle you." Rizevim said then went towards the gate and placed his hand on the object keeping them from entering Jotunheim.

Rizevim: "Jönarnimiklu miklu og máttku

Hraktir í útlego heim

Jötnar, ei Guðir né dauðlegir

Til fjalla i Jötunheim

Jötnarnir, miklu og máttku,
Hraktir í útlegð heim
Jötnar, ei Guðir né dauðlegir,
Til fjalla i Jötunheim
Upp til fjalla i Jötunheim

Ljóst hamri' að himni til
Frásagnar ei
Neinn er við flýjum land
Tíminn oss felur
Steinmúrar standa hátt
Við glötumst brátt

Jötunheim, Jötunheim"

Once Rizevim finished reciting the Lullaby of the giants, the gate began to glow a bright yellow and many runes and Nordic symbols began appearing on Rizevim's arm, the light show carried on for approximately two minutes than everything just stopped and went back to how it was.

The rest of the Old-Satan Faction looked around, then looked at each other with a great deal of confusion, because after the light show, nothing happened.

"So...is that it?" Victoria questioned as they have been waiting for something to happen and yet they still got nothing.

Rizevim: "Just a few more seconds."

*Ground Shaking*

Everyone now focused their attention onto the gate, as they can see something was beginning to happen, the gate once again began shinning bright yellow, the locks disengaged and slowly the members of the Old-Satan Faction could see they were getting access to the Land of the Giants.

The Gates finally kicked into gear and fully opened and all everyone could see was a bright yellow light standing before them.

"Metallic wings Flapping*

Everyone except Rizevim immediately turned around and raised their guards as they were wondering who in the hell was sneaking up on them.

The members of the Old-Satan Faction narrowed their eyes at the stranger, ready to attack at any moment.

"And who the hell are you?" Loki questioned, with his hands glowing ready to attack said individual.

"Don't you recognize me Lord Loki?" the individual questioned while bowing before the members of the Old Satan Faction.

"You best start talking woman, or else it will not end well for you." Ares threaten while summoning his golden spear.

"Calm down all of you, she works for me, did all go according to as I desired Brynhildr?" Rizevim questioned with him still keeping his eyes on the massive light in front of him.

"Of course my lord, I won the fight, just as you wished." Brynhildr said with her now standing, but she kept her attention fully on Rizevim's back.

Rizevim: "Anything else of interest?"

"On my way to you, I encountered Thor and his entourage, it would seem that they know you are here my Lord, they intend to inform the Akatsuki and plan to act against the Old Satan Faction.

"They know we are here already huh? Must be Heimdall, that noticed us he is not the observer of the nine-realms for nothing, very well then, good job my Valkyrie." Rizevim said still keeping his attention on the light.

Brynhildr smile and looked at Rizevim with eyes full of lust, she was extremely overjoyed that Rizevim praised her.

"Well then, let's go." Rizevim said as he stepped into the light.

(Stomach Growling): "There better be food in there." Pandora said as she was next in line to step into the light.

"I got my eyes on you." Nyx stated looking at Brynhildr, then was next to walk into the light.

One after the other, the members of the Old Satan Faction walked into the light, with Diana being the last to step in the light, the Queen of the Vampires was rather worried though, because it seems that the Old Satan Faction have turned the tables as it looked like they had a spy of their own.

The light temporarily blinded the vampire, however when he visuals senses stabilized, what she saw was truly breath-taking, Diana and the other members of the Old Satan Faction were standing at the base of the mountain with two stupidly enormous giant statues standing at the left and right corner of the mountain.

Diana performed a 360 and looked all around her and she was amazed at the rawness of Jotunheim, the Land of the Giants looked like one continent level jungle, Diana could see trees upon trees, hills upon hills, mountains upon mountains, swimming enticing rivers and streams, what was also very interesting was the air, it felt so pure, so clean, so sweet, Jotunheim looked like a place you wouldn't mind living in the outdoors.

"Diana, I know Jotunheim is quite the sight to behold, however remember we are on a limited time here, the Akatsuki are already making their way here, get your head in the mission." Rizevim requested, though couldn't blame her, for the rest of his comrades he knew it was their first time in Jotunheim, so of course they would want to observe all they could.

"Right...(Shakes Head)...sorry, was just a little bit distracted." Diana said with her know focusing her attention on her leader.

"Everyone stay alert he is coming." Rizevim said, keeping his eyes on the mountain.

"Who is?" Nyx questioned.

"Thrym, the king of Jotunheim." Loki answered

*Ground Shaking*

Once again the land shaked and vibrated violently, it seemed like this was going to be a regular occurrence, here in Jotunheim, what happened next truly took everyone by surprise the two statues beside the mountain began moving, the two stone statues grabbed the mountain at each of their specific corners and began pulling the mountain in opposite directions.

The mountain began to split apart, and everyone's eyes were immediately drawn to the crack opening as it looked like something was hidden within the mountain.

The statue giants increased the strength of their grip and pulled even harder and now the mountain was really being torn apart, causing the crack to expand even more and everyone could see what looked like a giant blue head in the mountain.

Pandora tilted her head to the side as she really was wondering what was hidden within the mountain.

The statue giants kicked into gear, and pulled the mountain with all their might, and after some time the mountain gave in, completely splitting into two, revealing to everyone another giant.

Rizevim and company could see a dark blue giant sleeping upright with his knees tucked up closely to his torso and his arms hugging his knees.

The giant slowly opened his eyes and waited for a bit for his vision to stabilize, he has spent quite sometime in deep slumber.

The giant could see a group of tiny individuals standing before him, everything was still quite blurry for the colossal entity, his eyes then landed on a certain sliver haired demon, and the giant got a somewhat understanding as to what was happening.

"Lord Lucifer?" The giant questioned still waiting for his vision to stabilize.

(Clapping hands): "Oh you were so close, indeed my name is Lucifer, however I am not who think you think it is." Rizevim responded.

The giant brought to fingers to his face and began rubbing his eyes as he really needed his vision to return to him.

After a few rubs, the giant open his eyes and now could see perfectly, he looked at the sliver haired demon he noticed before and could see that it was none other than Rizevim, the son of Lucifer.

"Rizevim, oh it has been quite sometime old friend, you looking more like your farther with each passing century." The giant said in a loud and booming voice that could be heard all throughout the surrounding area.

Rizevim was rather touched that a long standing comrade of his father, mentioned that the leader of the Old Satan Faction, looks like his father, it was an honour as Lucifer was the one person Rizevim admired most.

"Loki my boy, you have also matured since last I saw you, still that handsome looking lad I see, I hope you have a lover now that you can speak of." Thrum said now shifting his attention to the other fellow giant.

Loki just blushed and gave off a sheepish smile, it was very rare to see the god of mischief flustered and embarrassed, this was a moment Victoria would save in the vault of her memory.

"THRUM! DO YOU MIND IF YOU COULD COME DOWN TO SIZE! IT IS A RATHER TEDIOUS AND DIFFICULT CONVERSING WITH YOU, WHEN YOU ARE A GIANT!" Rizevim shouted wanting things to be easier for himself and comrades.

"Oh yes of course, I apologize for that, give me a second." Thrum requested and soon after his body began to glow, causing him to start shrinking, after quite the display, Thrum was now at a reasonable size for the members of the Akatsuki, he was still massively tall, standing at about 8 foot 8 inches.

"Ah much better." Rizevim claimed, as he was going to tire of constantly having to shout just to converse to the giant.

"I mean he is still pretty huge." Pandora stated, as the king of Jotunheim was towering above all of them.

(Yawn+Stretching): "Any way, why disturb my sleep? It was quite enjoyable." Thrum said while whipping away the tear from his right eye.

(Chuckle): "You have been enjoying the peace we formed all those years ago I see." Rizevim said while smirking at his long standing comrade.

(Yawn): "The war against Odin was quite demanding, you of all people know that, I spent everyday at battlefield fighting against the Aesir...(Yawn)...I do believe I was enjoying a well-deserved rest." Thrum said with him stretching away the last bits of fatigue that were gripping his body.

Rizevim: "That I cannot deny old friend."

(Yawn): "Anyway...done to business, what brings you to Jotunheim?" Thrum questioned with him now giving off a serious expression and flexed his dominating power.

*Ground Shaking*

Everyone except Rizevim and Hades were immediately put on guard, as they couldn't believe the absolutely intense power coming from the king of Jotunheim, they were completely off-guard.

Diana activated her Sharingan, Victoria's fists lit up bright yellow and took up a fighting stance, Ares re-summoned his golden spear and Spartan style shield, Pandora summoned her infamous box and was ready to open it by any sigh of danger, Nyx smirked at this flex and her eyes lit up dark matter purple, she was more than ready to throw down if need be, finally Brynhildr blitzed to where she was in front of Rizevim and was more than ready to defend her new Lord.

Thrum smirked at this, he loved to rile newcomers up, his power exploded and he was completely covered in a dark blue aura that would of suffocated anyone who was severely weaker than him.

The staring contest between Thrum and the riled up members of the Old Satan Faction, went on for about a minute, until one individual had enough of the games.

"Enough." Hades commanded and flexed his own power which completely suffocated Thrum's power, the god of the underworld was not here to play games, he wanted to get this mission over with so the Old Satan Faction can move on to phase 4 of their plan.

Thrum sighed in disappointment, looks like his fun would be cut short, the king of Jotunheim has not fought it many winters, so a battle against Hades of all people would be down right idiotic.

(Disappointed Sigh): "As always, you just have to ruin my fun Hades, it's no wonder you don't get invited to all the social gatherings." Thrum said with him ultimately powering down.

"Hmph." That was all Hades expressed than also began powering down, seeing that Thrum has finally stopped playing games.

The rest of the Old Satan Faction released a sigh of relief, seeing that things have calmed down, all except one, Nyx was rather annoyed that Hades intervened, she was actually looking forward to get her blood pumping, especially after losing to Madara.

"Well then, it seems like all the excitement has died down...(Clears Throat)...anyway back to the important matter, Thrum my dear friend, I'm sure with you seeing me, you already have a grasp as to what is going on." Rizevim said while placing a hand on Brynhildr's shoulder, indicating to the Valkyrie that it is alright now, she can stand down.

The Valkyrie lowered her head in respect and moved to the side, giving Rizevim full access to speak to the king of Jotunheim.

(Yawn): "Indeed I do...I was just having a little bit of fun after being asleep for many winters, the fact that one out of the only two people that are not giants that have access to my realm is standing in Jotunheim tells me a lot, you want to recruit the giants to Old Satan Faction don't you?" Thrum questioned now giving Rizevim his full attention.

(Chuckle) "Took the words right out of my mouth." Rizevim responded.

"So that day has finally come huh? We of the giants are forever indebted to your father Rizevim, if Lucifer did not intervene in that war against Odin and the Aesir, I'm sure my people would've perished, so you need not even ask, the giants have always been a supporter on Lucifer, however I still do request a favour from the Old Satan Faction." Thrum said.

"Hoo? A favour huh? Name it." Rizevim said as he was curious as to what Thrum was requesting.

Thrum looked at his right palm for a good few seconds then clenched it into a fist indicating that he was ready to pay the price for what he desired.

"To initiate Ragnarok." Thrum said giving Rizevim a no nonsense expression.

Everyone and literally everyone from the Old Satan Faction widened their eyes from what Thrum has just said, some were shocked, others amused it look like things were about to get serious.

"Is that right? W..."

*Stomach Growling*

Rizevim was not allowed to complete his sentence as a certain young girl's stomach was expressing it's unhappiness.

"Rizevim!" Pandora said in an annoyed tone as she has been waiting to get some food inside of her.

"Don't forget about me too, I'm dying to have cuisine from my homeland once again." Loki chipped in as his stomach as well was far from being satisfied with it's current state.

(Sigh): "Fine, I did promise you two, Thrum my dear friend, do you mind if we continue this conversation, in a much more comfortable environment, where my comrades here can indulge in Jotunheim's delicacies." Rizevim requested.

"Oh yes of course, by all means." Thrum said than snapped his fingers teleporting them to his palace.

*Some time later in the grand palace of Jotunheim*

When Thrum and company first arrived at his palace, many of the giants were amazed and surprised that their king was awake after so many winters, it was something that definitely caught them off-guard, however this does not mean that they were not overjoyed to see their king, the giants made sure to make it a public announcement to the rest of Jotunheim that the king has finally awakened.

The giants made sure to prepare the best meals, so that their king and his guests and have a feast worthy of them, as for our antagonists they were seated in a luxurious throne room that a mix of giant craftsmanship and Jotunheim nature, it had the perfect mix of artificial and natural build.

Loki and Pandora had no regard for manners and devoured anything that was placed in front of them, it was exactly quite impressive for the onlookers as it looked like the two of them were having an eating contest.

Ares was still rather bitter that his comrades were enjoying the food of the giants instead of his own cooking, even though he tasted in food and was blown away at how delicious it was, he still had to much pride to give the giants a complement.

(Amused Laughter): "You do have some interesting companions here Rizevim." Thrum said as he was enjoying watching Pandora and Loki try to fill the black holes that they call stomachs.

"Indeed, those are my comrades...(Short Pause)...anyway back to the subject at matter, you spoke about Ragnarok." Rizevim said with him enjoying a drink.

Once everyone heard the word Ragnarok, they immediately focused on the conversation between Rizevim and Thrum, it look it was time to get serious.

(Drinks): "Yes, I wish to begin Ragnarok, it's about time the Aesir experience, the pain and suffering they placed us giants in." Thrum said putting his cup down.

"You do understand what you are saying right? You basically starting the Great war you Nine Realms residents have been fearing for generations, where has this desire come from?" Hades questioned while narrowing his eyes at Thrum.

Thrum just paused for a minute and looked at his cup full of liquor, Hades did indeed speak the truth, Ragnarok was the ultimate War that would forever change the Nine Realms, many will die in this war, not just his enemies, but his own people as well, it was difficult for any leader to start a plan, where he knows it will take many of the lives of his people, but for the future of Jotunheim and the giants it truly was the only way.

"Odin must die, as long as he lives, my people will never be safe, he and Aesir killed so many of my giants, the All-father was close to completely annihilating us all, I can never forget the pain and despair in my people's eyes, that hopelessness still haunts me to this day, there are no if ands or buts, Odin must die and Ragnarok is the best way to deal with that bastard." Thrum said looking back to Hades and giving him a no nonsense expression.

All the members of the Old Satan Faction could see the seriousness in Thrum's eyes, he was a king on a mission and all of them could see that nothing would stop him from achieving what he wants.

"Hmph...(Short Pause)...so be it then, I was never one to run away from a war." Hades said smirking at the determination of Thrum.

(Drinks): "But you of all people knows what that means Thrum, the prophecy of Ragnarok states that for the war to start fimbulwinter must take place first and in order for that to happen Baldur must die, which is quite the challenge seeing that he is un-killable." Rizevim said.

The leader of the Old Faction was right about that one, the reason Ragnarok has not started sooner is due solely because of Baldur, the Norse god of light and peace is supposedly immune to all attacks physical or magical, many and truly many entities have tried to kill Baldur and it has not been successful, even Lucifer himself at one point tried to kill Baldur in order to start Ragnarok and even he failed, Baldur just seemed indestructible.

(Sigh): "Yes that is indeed true, in order for us to start Ragnarok, Baldur must die, which looks impossible, but I'm definitely sure there must be a way of killing that Aesir, there is got to be, it's not like he is The Mother of All Creation or Trihexa, it's Baldur he has a weakness somehow." Thrum said shifting his attention back to the cup and looking like he was in deep contemplation.

Brynhildr saw this as a massive opportunity, to earn even more favour with Rizevim, because unbeknownst to the majority of the Supernatural world, Baldur did have a weakness and the Valkyrie knew very well what it was.

The Valkyrie raised her hand and looked at Rizevim, looking for her Lord's permission to speak.

Everyone shifted their gaze to her and were wondering, what was it that was on her mind, Rizevim saw that Brynhildr was keeping her eyes on him, waiting for him to give her the go ahead.

"Please Brynhildr, by all means, tell us what's on your mind." Rizevim said that took a drink.

Brynhildr: "Baldur does have a weakness, the son of Freya can indeed be killed."

Rizevim nearly chocked on his drink, Pandora and Loki nearly chocked on their food, and truly everyone else was absolutely shocked at what they just heard, even the other giants severing their king and his guests were truly amazed at what they heard, and stopped what they were doing as they were dying to understand what was Baldur's weakness.

(Everyone): "WHAT!"

Brynhildr was slightly taken aback by everyone's reaction, she thought it wasn't that much of a big deal, seems like she was wrong.

"Please Brynhildr, you have to explain to us how Baldur can be killed." Rizevim requested and put his cup down as he was going to give the Valkyrie his full attention.

Brynhildr: "Oh...uhmmm...yes, certainly my Lord...(Clears Throat)...it happened about a thousands winters ago, one morning Baldur awakened rather distressed, curious about her son, Freya questioned what was it that was bothering Baldur, Baldur explained to his mother that he had a nightmare that he was killed and Ragnarok followed shortly after."

Everyone nodded their heads indicating to Brynhildr to continue.

Brynhildr: "Now when gods have dreams or nightmares of that manner, it is more than just a simple dream, worried Freya consulted your late Grand mother king Thrum the Nine realms foreseer Gróa, Lady Gróa did indeed confirm that Baldur's nightmare was not just a simple construct of his mind, but rather it was a premonition, a warning for things to come, once Baldur dies Ragnarok would soon follow and we all know when Gróa says something about the Nine realms it is destined to become true."

Thrum paused for a minute, and rewinded the clock of his memories as when he was still a young giant he did remember Freya coming to meet his grandmother for an important talk.

Brynhildr: "Refusing to accept fate, Freya cried and begged The Mother of All Creation for a solution after many days of constant weeping, The Mother of All Creation took pity on Freya and gave her one of her own spells to use on young Baldur, but of course there were conditions, Freya had to retrieve fragments of everything in existence that she believed would be a threat to her son, and so she did, for years Freya collected everything, and truly everything she believed would be a threat to her son."

Rizevim's eyes lit up, if what the Valkyrie says is true, than it makes sense why even his father failed to kill Baldur, a spell by The Mother of All Creation of all entities was something even beyond Lucifer, the only entity who could probably counter that spell would have to be Trihexa.

Brynhildr: "Freya placed all the fragments together and initiated the spell on her son and so Baldur became indestructible to all except one thing."

"Well don't keep us waiting, tell us what is that one thing." Loki requested, as he was dying to know the answer, ever since Baldur became immune to all attacks the god of mischief became extremely jealous, he refused to believe that no one had a weakness, however it did seem that Baldur had no weaknesses.

"A mistletoe."

Everyone just paused and looked at Brynhildr like she was speaking a foreign language they do not know about.

The Valkyrie looked to the left than looked to the right, confused, she was wondering why everyone was giving her that look

"Was it something I said?" Brynhildr questioned being rather nervous that she was still getting that reaction.

"A mistletoe? A bloody mistletoe? Please don't play with us love." Victoria demanded as the former queen of England refused to believe that was truly the answer to killing Baldur.

"I swear to you all, during the years of her gathering fragments, Freya ignored the mistletoe, she believed that it would never be a threat to her son, than one day young Baldur was practising his archering skills and he accidentally cut himself with a mistletoe arrow, it was the first time Baldur saw blood and experienced pain in fifty winters, unfortunately for Freya, the spell was already casted she could not incorporate mistletoe into the spell, therefore the only solution was to avoid mistletoes, think about it Lord Loki, why do you think Freya and Odin banned mistletoes in Asgard?" Brynhildr questioned now shifting her attention to the god of mischief.

Loki's eyes were next to lit up, what Brynhildr is saying does indeed have some weight to it, he does remember Odin and Freya banning and removing mistletoes in Asgard and the god of mischief always did find that rather odd, but he never understood why, now it all makes sense.

"Yes, I do remember that, I always did find that strange, Freya was suspiciously adamant on the removal and banning of mistletoes in Asgard, I even had to get rid of my mistletoe arrows...(Short Pause)...huh...now it makes sense." Loki said adopting a contemplative face.

"Exactly, Freya made sure to safe-guard Baldur against any and all mistletoes in all creation." Brynhildr said.

Loki shifted his attention back to the Valkyrie and narrowed his eyes as there was now something on his mind.

"How exactly do you know this and I don't?." Loki questioned.

(Chuckle): "Lord Loki you must remember I'm Freya's right hand woman, adoptive daughter and favourite Valkyrie, Freya indeed did do a good job of keeping the fact about the mistletoe a secret to many of you, but she trusts me she told me about it, there are only six people who know of Baldur's weakness, Baldur himself, Freya, Odin, Gna Freya's best friend, Freyr her twin brother and lastly myself." Brynhildr explained.

Once again everyone paused but this time they just adopted a contemplative expression.

*Psychotic Laughter*

Everyone shifted their attention to Rizevim, as that laughter was not something to ignore, that's for sure.

(Psychotic Laughter): "Was it really that simple? A mistletoe of all things, the one ingredient my father needed in order to kill Baldur was a FUCKING mistletoe...(Psychotic Laughter)...I beg of you Brynhildr do not joke with me, because if so I will kill you right now." Rizevim said shifting his attention to his Valkyrie.

"I swear to you my Lord, you may kill me right now if you do not believe me, I would never lie to you my beloved Lord what I say is the truth." Brynhildr said than got up from her seat and made her way to Rizevim opening her body up indicating to Rizevim that she is indeed allowing him to kill her if need be.

Rizevim looked deep into Brynhildr's eyes and could see no deceit from the Valkyrie, she truly was speaking the truth.

The leader of the Old Satan Faction smirked and placed his hand on the Valkyries right cheek caressing it, the Valkyrie placed both her hands above her lords hands savouring his touch.

(Sinister Laughter): "Well done Brynhildr, looks like it was not a mistake in recruiting you after all, this information you have shared is truly invaluable, truly well done my Valkyrie." Rizevim said as it looked like they finally have a way of beginning Ragnarok.

Brynhildr just blushed and felt a rush of blood flow throughout her body, she was aiming to please Rizevim and it looked like she has accomplished just that.

Rizevim just shifted his attention to Thrum and he could see that the King of Jotunheim was also smiling like a madmen, finally it looked like they can kill Baldur and potentially Odin.

Rizevim: "Looks like we will be starting Ragnarok after all."

(Sinister Chuckle): "Indeed, however we should by all means get more allies on our side, I recommend getting Surtr the fire giant, him and his army of fire giants will be incredibly valuable to us." Thrum suggested.

"My children as well Fenrir, and Jörmungandr, plus my wife Angrboða, they would prove useful against the Aesir." Loki chipped in.

"What about the elves though? They too could prove useful." Rizevim questioned

"You are wasting your time with Alfheim, the light and dark elves are still consumed in their war, and besides, Alfheim has a strong relationship with Asgard and Vanaheim, they will side with Odin and Freya, it's almost guaranteed." Thrum explained.

(Sigh): "Such a shame, they would've been so useful, however everyone knows the rule, if you are not with the Old Satan Faction, you are automatically against them, I will send a few members to Alfheim in order to destroy it, we cannot allow the Akatsuki to have such a powerful ally, well then it looks like we have a lot of work to do, let's get to it." Rizevim said.

Diana was not liking how things are going, it looked like the Old Satan Faction got another advantage, this may end badly for her beloved Madara and the Akatsuki, she has to find a way of relaying this information to him, but it would prove quite difficult, especially since Nyx is already suspicious of the vampire, things were truly looking complicated.

And that's a wrap my people, we now press on even further into the Norse Saga, tell me what you think of the Chapter, did you love it? Did you hate it, or just neutral, I wait patiently for your feed back, but at always see you guys next time.
