Death by Gungir

Before you read this, do head some warnings: 1) It's a f*cking rough draft, descriptions of the environments and battle sequences have been dumbed down... because honestly... I suck at that. Hopefully in future revisions, I will be able to work on that. 2) A lot of this shit is probably offensive if you're some overly sensitive and politically correct douchebag.

Anywho, I'll start off with the character profiles, then move on to the f*cking chapters:

End Introduction.

[ultima_trev]

2056. Earth was about to be overwhelmed by the Arcanans, a demonic religious sect slaughtering all who refuse to adhere to their absolute authority, or the authority of their supposed God-chosen Patriarch. However, two would stand against them, a women intent on preserving her family's sacred martial arts teachings, and a man, self-proclaimed descendant of Aasgardian King Odin.

Death by Gungir ... Chapter One

At an unnecessarily large mansion on the outskirts of San Francisco...

“Where have I gone wrong in raising you? There is nothing more you could do to disgrace our family honor further by joining a Triad!”

“I never asked to be to be a study nerd! Because of you, all I ever got to do was academics and martial arts... and effectively, it's made my social life non-existent!”

It seemed to be an argument between an elderly man and his daughter. The man was grayed, quite skinny, and dressed in a white gi and black belt.

The woman was extravagant, if not divine. Silky skin with a natural light tan, dark brown with a bit of a almond shape, straight and shimmering light brown hair, an hourglass frame, and an innocent face. It would suffice to say she was of Southeast Asian descent, or specifically, a Chinese and Malay mixture. Her attire, pink button up shirt, khaki pants, brown steel toe boots, while not exactly revealing, only showing off a bit of cleavage, was unusually tight, molded to her perfect body. She also whore cucumber scented perfume mixed with pheromones, which would drive young men insane.

“Fine, whore yourself out to thugs, live a life of crime, but don't expect me to spend the family fortune to bail you out of jail or support your dirty thug lover's child when you get impregnated!”

((((-))))

Elsewhere, a man rode through the busy streets on a chopper. He stood two meters tall, with impossible muscularity; long and silky silver blond hair, cerulean eyes, and bronze skintone. His attire was black vinyl pants, steel boots, and a wife beater. He was a complete monster in stature, but even more amazing than his brute appearance, was his brutal strength.

He pondered, 'San Francisco, eh? What a shithole. It figures my old nemesis would live in such a place.'

((((-))))

Minutes later, he pulled into the stupidly large drive way of a stupidly large and luxurious mansion.

On the steps sat an incredibly gorgeous woman of Southeast Asian descent, who appeared quite miffed.

'Who's that?' she pondered.

When he came closer, he couldn't help but admire her divine beauty. 'There's no way that could be his daughter, I just can't figure someone as goofy looking as him being related to such a goddess.'

The woman couldn't help but admire his absurdly masculine appearance. 'Not bad... for a cracker.'

“Excuse me, good lady, is this the home of the former Undisputed Martial Arts League champion?”

She rolled her eyes. “Yes, that would be my father.”

“I don't see resemblance.”

She beamed. “I'm glad you see it my way! The name's Tiara.”

“Oh? What is your REAL name?”

She spat, “that's none of your damn concern!”

“I see.”

“Anyway, what business do you have with my father?”

“Well, this might sound strange, but I am the one who defeated your father and took his title several years back, and I wanted to personally offer him a rematch.”

“I know who you are, but quite frankly, I find your showing up here unannounced like this very rude! Because of you, my adolescence was spent being forced into a life of traditional Asian nerdiness by my father, I never got a chance to be what I wanted.”

“I beg your pardon?”

“You've turned my father into such a bitter person when you took his title, and as a result, I've lived nothing short of a traumatic life.”

The beast of a man grinned. “I'm flattered.”

She scowled. “****ing cracker, leave now before I cave your face in!”

“I would be interested to see you attempt such...”

“That's it, I'm going to ****ing kill you!” Tiara got up on her feet, ready to pound the living hell at whatever stood in her self-righteous path.

“Tiara, that's enough!”

“Long time, no see, Jin.”

“Pardon my daughter's hostility, Vlok,” the middle age man said politely, though he seemed to be forcing said politeness.

“It's no problem.”

“Unfortunately, as much as I do wish to take my title back, I am too old and too weak.”

Tiara scorned, “you're just going to let this cracker win?”

“No. Vlok, while I am incapable of defeating you, my daughter is more than capable of such.”

Tiara was confused. “What?”

“She has surpassed me in almost every manner. Speed, focus, and yes, even ki flow. I regret doing so, but I've forced her into becoming the ultimate fighter, at the cost of her livelihood.”

Vlok sarcastically snickered. “Quite touching.”

“Father?”

Jin knelt before Tiara. “I'm sorry, I made you waste your adolescence, forcing you to avenge my pride. And look where it's led you. Sleeping around with Triads, getting impregnated, and while I try to lay blame elsewhere, it's really all my fault.”

'How did he know that I was pregnant?' Tiara pondered.

“Pardon me for interrupted the tender family moment, but when am I going to get my fight?”

“My daughter is capable of defeating you, but she's not ready. She recently turned 18 and is a month pregnant, so she's too young and it's not proper to expose an unbirthed child to unnecessary danger. Give her three years, she'll defeat you and lay waste to your dream of world domination.”

“Very well, three years.”

He revved his bike but just before he retreated, he decided to raise the stakes. “If she manages to defeat me, I'm assuming she's going to kill me to prevent my empire from surfacing, correct?”

“Indeed she will,” Jin monotonously replied.

“Well then, when I win, she will be my wife. You have raised the most beautiful women I've ever seen, and I will lay claim to her, so until then...”

He rode off into the setting sun...

“You knew I was pregnant?”

“Yes, any Hadou master could tell there is new life growing inside you, if they bothered paying attention that is.”

“I'm sorry.”

“You have no idea who the father is, do you?”

Tears began to stream down her face. “Not quite. I've slept with quite a few of them, but... well, I think I do have an idea of who it is.”

“Who?”

“Fei Chun, the don of the U.S. Triad branch.”

“I'm surprised you were even accepted into the Triad, considering we're part Malay in addition to Chinese.”

“Sleeping with him was the condition. He said my tainted Malay blood made me exotic.”

“I wouldn't put it like that, but you are a very desirable woman, just like your mother before you. It's a shame that you had to degrade yourself by bedding Triads.”

“I really soiled the family name, huh?”

“No, I'm the one at fault, by forcing you to avenge my lost pride. You, on the other hand, are good. You are holy, and I am so proud to have given you life.” He then embraced her.

“Oh daddy.” She returned his embrace.

Three years would go by quickly. She would train herself vigorously in the art of Hadou. However, Vlok trained vigorously as well.

All the while, someone beat the madman to the punch. Within the three years, a new cult emerged, and in great numbers, leaving governments and their respected military forces in shambles. They were the Arcanans, mages who manipulated hadou to their most twisted desires and wished to cleanse the Earth in the most efficient way: eradicating mankind.

End Chapter One.

[ultima_trev]

Chapter Two


Three years have passed quickly, and now was the time for Tiara to avenge her father's pride, in addition to preventing a madman from erecting his empire.


“Last chance asshole, surrender or die.”


Vlok smirked at the young woman standing before him. “I thought for certain your father would have done more to instill you with some manners.”


Tiara glimpsed to her father, who was holding what appeared to be her young daughter. “She's going to be just like her mother one day, the greatest martial artist and most beautiful woman to ever walk the earth.”


“I don't doubt the latter in the least, but allow me to let you in on a secret...”


She seemed less than amused. “What would that be?”


“While I see your ki is quite astounding, you're dealing with something that isn't quite human.”


“Huh?”


“You'll see what I mean soon enough.”


The referee signaled for the match to start.


Tiara channeled as much of her ki as possible, wowing audiences with a fabulous light display.


Vlok smirked.


“I'll wipe that smug look right off your face.” Tiara, irritated by his confidence, was quick to unleashing her assault, furious combination of punches and kicks, faster than what the human eye could see.


After roughly ten punches and twenty kicks to his face, which only took a couple seconds, Vlok was still standing, unfazed.


“No way...”


Vlok gloated, “this is where it ends.”


While the entire world was expecting a good match, they were left with an upset. Vlok was the victor, with but a single punch to Tiara's stomach. His inhuman speed caught her off guard, leaving her completely open.


The referee announced. “The winner by result of knock out... VLOK!!!!”


“How could she lose?” Jin was in disbelief.


“You are quite the delusional one. One who wields Hadou should know that channeling their spiritual power puts stress on the body. Even if her ki was by some miraculous chance great than mine, her body, thought very fit... and very delectable, would never be able to handle the stress.” Vlok flaunted his monstrous muscles. “Just look at me, I am the perfect specimen. I have no weaknesses to exploit, and my infinitely durable body gives me the ability to channel infinite amounts of ki.”


'If that's true, that means,' Jin thought in horror, 'no one could ever defeat him!'


Tiara slowly awoke, ignorant of recent events.


“What just happened?”


“You lost.”


Tiara immediate perked up, getting on her feet. “Preposterous!”


“I'm so sorry, Tiara. I should have been a better instructor. Channeling ki puts stress on one's body, so therefore the more durable one is, the more efficiently they can channel their ki.”


Out of nowhere, another man approached, applauding the undisputed champion. “I should have expected nothing less, but I do sense that the woman, in time, would develop the ability to channel ki even greater than your own, despite her... genetic disadvantage.”


Vlok arched an eyebrow at this man. “What would you, a chairman of the United Earth Federation, know about Hadou?”


“Just the basics. By the way, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but another story is making the headlines, overshadowing your undisputed martial arts reign, and I know how much you love to be an attention whore.”


'What's with this guy?' Tiara pondered, 'he's an even bigger creep than the steroid abuser.'


The suit continued, “apparently, all the members of the UEF committee, excluding me, have been murdered. Until we can find their replacements, I am, for the time being, absolute ruler of the Earth.”


“No doubt this is Vlok's handiwork!” Jin spat.


'Someone beat me to the punch,' Vlok pondered. He observed the UEF chairman further. 'I see his knowledge of Hadou is no coincidence, his ki is amazing... but it's different somehow... twisted.' Vlok smirked. “Arcanan scum.”


“I beg your pardon?”


“You've brought peace to the planet, united the severed nations, then when everyone was off guard, murdered the committee to bolster your own reign.”


“Oh my, aren't you quite the conspiracy theory expert.”


“I would know such a plan quite well, as it was my plan to begin with. I never thought that the Arcanans would return after hundred of thousands of years of supposed extinction and steal my thunder.”


“Arcanans?” Jin inquired, “masters of Dark Hadou?”


“Indeed. Tell me, Arcanan, is Hel still alive?”


“Vlok, it seems I didn't give you enough credit. You've managed to see right through me, but I'm afraid it's too late. I have already been granted the title of Patriarch, and as such my power is absolute.”


“Is that right?”


“Vlok, I know you're anxious to see which of us is better. It would make for a grand show, wouldn't it? The undispusted Hadou master versus the Arcanan High Lord, master of dark hadou.”


“Then let's see which of us is more suited to be supreme ruler of Earth, shall we? Right now.”


“Unfortunately, I have more dire matters to attend to. Someone has to watch out for the poor lost sheep, before panic hits the population en masse.”


He vanished in a puff of black smog.


“What matter of trickery is this?” Jin inquired.


“Old fool, you don't seem to get it, do you?”


“I certainly do get it! You're an Arcanan mage, I should have known!”


“Believe whatever you want, old man.” Vlok turned to Tiara, certain that she would be more helpful. “We'll have to delay the wedding, in the meantime, we have bigger problems to worry about.”


“And I should trust you because?”


“Don't give me trouble, little lady. You have no choice but to ally with me, for you alone are certainly no match for the Arcanans, let alone Demon King Hel.”


“Well then, if you're so great, why can't you do it yourself?”


“I'm not certain that even I can stand against a master of the dark hadou.”


“If not, what makes you think that I, a lowly human, can be of assistance to you?”


Vlok took Tiara's hands into his.


“Don't touch me!”


“Listen to me, Tiara. As it stands, you and I are the only ones capable of standing against the Arcanan forces. While there is a small chance that I could defeat them single handedly, it would be too great of a risk. If I die, then the Earth and all its people will have no future, including you, your father, and your daughter.”


She looked to the young child sleeping in Jin's arms. “Levena...”


“Are you going to risk her life by allowing the Arcanans to run rampant?”


“No, but... what about about you? Suppose we do form an alliance and prevent the downfall of mankind, how can I be certain you won't take their place?”


“Look at it this way, the Arcanans have no regard for you or your family's well being, while I on the other hand, truly, honestly... love you.”


“What?!”


“I've thought only of you since I first laid my eyes on you three years ago. Never have I seen such an enchanting woman! Money, power, fame, these all mean nothing to me now, all that matters is you.”


“Get your hands off my daughter, gwailo!”


“Daddy?” Tiara sweetly cooed.


“Yes?” Jin asked.


She hissed, “shut the **** up!”


Jin's jaw dropped in disbelief.


“A little privacy would be nice too, father.”


“Yes, dear.”


A crestfallen Jin walked away, whispering to the child in his arms. “Your mother is quite the fierce dragon lady.”


“Now that he's gone, we can talk. First of all, why in the hell should I believe anything you've said... especially considering my father has witnessed your utterly sadistic and sociopathic behavior first hand?”


“Perhaps it is too much to ask that you trust me at such an early stage, but whether you wish it or not, I will be the one to look over you, to ensure than no harm comes to you.”


“I don't need you!”


“We shall see about that. Until that moment arrives, you shall be in my thoughts, my love.” Vlok then used his ki to emit a blinding light, making the young woman unable to see. After the room dimmed down to its normal level, it was evident that he all but disappeared.


“I don't need him,” she tried reasoning with herself, but the flushing on her cheeks told her otherwise.


End Chapter Two.

[ultima_trev]

Chapter Three

The dark of night, hours after her loss to Vlok and the rise of a global dictator, Tiara was clad in a bathrobe, about ready to bathe in a hot spring in the courtyard of her family's mansion. 'I wish mother was still alive, she'd know what I should do.'

Before she could remove the robe, she heard a loud crash. 'What the hell?'

She rushed into the living room, and saw her house was over run by several Triads.

“Fei? What the hell are you doing?”

The man she addressed was quite tall, at least for an Asian man. It was evident that English was not his primary language, as he spoke in a thick accent.

“I've come to take my child.”

“What child?”

“You stupid bitch, the child you tried to hide from me!”

“You can't have her!”

“But I can, and I will. Thanks to you, I am now fully trained in the art of Hadou, to the point that dispatching a dirty Malay whore such as you should be no trouble.”

“You ****ing bastard...”

“Don't worry, she'll be in good hands, and you as well, if you vow to return to your duty as a whore for my men. Our daughter too will share the same responsibility.”

“Tiara, I will take care of him.”

“Father?”

“Old man, you aren't aware of what you're dealing with. Your daughter was so desperate to get in to my Triad branch that in addition to whoring her self out, she taught me the ways of Hadou. In addition to that, I am both a master of Kung Fu and Muay Thai. What makes you think you can defeat me?!”

“I'll teach you to respect your elders, you miserable punk.” Jin channeled his ki to his fist and unleashed a quick three fist burst to Fei's face.

“Not good enough!” The triad leader retaliated with a massive round house kick, knocking the old man out cold.

Tiara, in a fit of rage, channeled as much ki as possible and attacked. She initialized her assault with a punch, but he caught her arm, all before snapping it like a twig.

The young woman winced in pain. 'Damn it, I'm going to lose everything.'

“Now take me to our daughter.”

“I beg your pardon, but what are you doing... with my wife?”

Vlok stood in the doorway to the household, which was broken down, likely due to the Triad's handiwork.

“Silly Gwailo, stay out of Triad affairs, it will only get you hurt.”

Vlok smirked. “Silly FOB, keep your hands off a Norseman's woman, it's only going to get you killed.”

“Is that so?”

The Norseman wasn't played around. In the blink of an eye, he rushed the triad leader and kicked his head in with such force that it decapitated him.

The other Triads were about to unleash the fury of their AK47s, but Vlok quickly used his ki to unleash a massive energy wave, effectively vaporizing them all.

After dispatching his opposition, he was quick to rushing to Tiara's aide. He placed is hands on her arm and used his ki to heal her wound.

“I don't know what to say,” Tiara said, her head downcast.

“You might want to check on your daughter before you say anything.”

“Levena!”

Tiara rushed to her daughter's room, all too grateful to see she was in her crib, safe and sound.

“Thank god.” Once again, tears streamed down her face.

She returned to the living room with her daughter in her arms, and was surprised to see Vlok using his ki to restore her father's health.

“Cracker, I don't need your help!” Jin complained.

“Why?” Tiara asked.

“I beg your pardon?” Vlok inquired.

“Why is it that the only men who are attracted to me are pure evil?”

Vlok scoffed. “Good, evil, all nothing more than subjective piles of rubbish.”

“Regardless, we have no reason to trust you, cracker!” Jin insisted.

“But in doing so, you shall reap the benefits.” Vlok smirked coyly at the old man.

“What benefits?” Jin inquired.

“For one, I have found the secret to eternal youth.”

“Bullshit, cracker!”

“Oh? But what if you could somehow transform into your younger self? Imagine returning to your former glory. Respected martial artist, ladies man...”

“My father isn't a womanizer!”

Jin retorted, “what? Are you kidding? When I was younger, I partied it up all the time! I especially liked those hot Scandinavian blonds! What I'd do to mack some of those fine bi-atches again!”

Tiara rolled her eyes. “Oh gawd...”

“Here's the catch. We may need your help also, Jin, but you're no good to me in your current condition. While I have yet to test the spell which reverts and maintains age, if you have the balls...”

“No way,” Tiara interrupted, “there's no way we can trust you.”

“Silly girl, don't butt into your father's affairs!” He kneeled before the Norseman. “I beg of you, make me young again so that I may return to my days of acquiring poontang by the assloads!”

Vlok channeled his ki, so much that it blinded both Tiara and Jin. The sheer ethereal force made the tectonic plates beneath them quake vehemently. When the light dissapated, Jin was indeed younger in appearance than he was previously, seemingly in his early twenties.

“I suppose this can be chalked up as a success. Congratulations, you look almost thirty years younger.”

Jin was quick to finding a mirror. He couldn't help but notice than his gray hair was now dark brown and his wrinkles have all but smoothed out. He removed his shirt, revealing that his once skinny frame was now bustling with lean muscle. “Oh hellz yeyah! I'm gonna mack me some hos tonight!”

After Jin was admiring his youth, he bowed before Vlok. “You have my fullest blessing to wed my daughter.”

Tiara scowled.

“Well, Jin, perhaps I shall call in one of the students of my dojo. She's, how you would say, a hot blond.”

“I still don't trust you, cracka! How can I be sure she's not fat?”

Vlok smirked as he whispered into Jin's ear. “Imagine this; shiny ivory skin softer than silk, perky and perfectly rounded breasts, an hourglass figure, bubbly buttocks, and tone thighs. Let's not forget, impossibly straight and long silvery blond hair, gray eyes, pearly white teeth, strawberry pink lips, just an over all angelic face...”

Jin whispered in return. “Quite boner inspiring.”

“That describes my student to a T. Oh, and she has a thing for men of Asian descent.”

“Damn it man, call her in already!”

All Tiara could do was look on in disbelief. 'Oh... my... gawd...'

End Chapter Three.

[ultima_trev]

Chapter Four

Several days later, Vlok's student flew in, and she was everything that he described her to be.

She was attired in a tight pink shirt with no sleeves and it revealed generous cleavage as well as her midriff. Her blue denim miniskirt didn't even cover her entire butt, as such was the case, one could clearly make out that she was wearing a pink thong. She also wore black high heeled boots, which extended to below her knees. Her height was exactly the same as Jin, though she stood a bit taller due to her heels.

“Dayum, she is fine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Jin was obviously pleased.

“Tkorg, this is my wife to be Tiara and her father, Jin.”

Tkorg giggled as she looked to Jin. She spoke with a thick European accent. “Her father? This handsome man? He's so young...”

Jin gleefully smiled. “Why, hello there, cutie pie!” He bowed and took her hand, and kissed it like the chivalrous knight he is.

“Ah, such good manners. Precisely why I love Asian men so much.”

“Well, I find that Scandinavian women are equally well mannered.”

“You flatter me so much, Jin. Perhaps you can escort me around San Francisco? I 've always wanted to come here.”

“I could do that!” He gave Vlok the thumbs up before he put his arm around her. Subsequently, the they walked away to have a jolly good time.

“I never agreed to marry you, asshole.”

Vlok arched his eyebrow at the Asian goddess. “Perhaps not, but you see how happy your father is? I know you can sense it as well, being adept at Hadou.”

“Yes, he is happy.”

“I can ensure the same happiness for you and Levena as well. Even if you don't return my affection, all I ask is your cooperation in defeating the Arcanan legion.”

“Why don't you just join forces with them? Since you have the same desire of world domination and all...”

“Our reasons our different.”

“Is that right?” Tiara was completely apathetic.

“Allow me to show you everything I know...”

The world around the young woman seemingly disappeared.

“Where am I?”

“What you are seeing is my past.”

It started off with fierce medieval battles, winged warriors fending off demonic hordes.

“This is the never ending battle between Hel and Aasgard. The Arcanans were created by the forces of Hel to fend off any resistance so that they could escape from their prison. My father is Odin, king of Aasgard. However, I am an illegitimate child, born of a god and a human female. I was never accepted in any Earth or Aasgard society, being looked down upon as either a dirty mongrel or simply a freak of nature, and as such I vowed to conquer both Earth and Aasgard for revenge.”

She could see clearly his childhood memories, being beaten by Nordic gods, Valkyries, and humans alike. She could clearly feel his pain, both emotional and physical.

“That's terrible...”

“Now do you understand? Can you see why I am what I am?”

Her vision returned to the present. She immediately began to backpedal, and in tears. “Look, assuming that all this you showed me is true, I won't accept this! All I ever wanted was to live a normal life, free of obligation. I don't want to bear the weight of the world on my shoulders! I don't want my daughter to be exposed to danger! I beg of you, don't ever come near me or my family again!”

She ran away as fast she could, in pain, feeling sorrow having witnessed what seemed like a first person perspective of the life the self proclaimed son of Odin.

After several kilometers of running, she was greeted by Patriarch Azarel. “Well well, it seems Vlok really does care for you, given that he was willing to reveal such a tender nightmare to you.”

“What the hell do you want?”

“Nothing from you, obviously. I just can't help but notice your child's rich ki capacity. Why, I don't think I've ever sensed such potential.” He began to close in on Tiara and her child.

Feeling his elusive presence made Levena cry. “Mama. I'm scared. I want daddy.”

Tiara was bewildered, never hearing her young daughter so articulate before. “What did you say?”

“I want daddy. I want Vlok.”

“She's right to want him, he's the only one who can possibly stop the ascension of Hel. And your daughter there, with her rich ki, she is no doubt the necessary sacrifice needed to resurrect our infernal master!”

“You better not ****ing touch her!”

“I admire your determination, but you are no match for me.”

He took out a dagger and plunged it right into his chest. He spoke in an inaudible tongue, obviously it was a language not of this world. Whatever tongue it was, it was clearly an incantation.

Whatever this incantation did, it forced Levena to grow, to the point where she looked like a sixteen year old version of her mother.

“What's going on?” Tiara asked.

“With my sacrifice, Hel has been resurrected! Soon all of Earth and all of Asgard will fall to her mite!” He lost consciousness due to blood loss.

“It feels so good to be back in the flesh again.” The demonic teenage girl beamed at Tiara. “Well, mother, I must thank you for birthing me. Soon I will be the rightful god of all creation.” She turned to Azarel. “My loyal servant, rejoice, for the earth will be yours. Now rise!” She healed him and he regained consciousness.

“My master, you do me much honor with your kindness!”

“Perhaps that is so, but you owe me a favor.”

“Anything you ask.”

“This woman is an eyesore. Kill her.”

“As you wish.”

Tiara was in horror, seeing her daughter grow to a near adult stage in seconds, and further more seeing her daughter, now possessed by the demon king, giving orders to have her killed. “Levena...”

Hel shrieked, “Levena is dead, now there is only Hel, bitch.”

Azarel moved in for the kill with his dagger, only to have his arm caught by Vlok.

“Well, now, if it isn't my loving step father.”

“Should I kill them both?” Azarel inquired.

“Change of plans. For now we shall retreat.”

“Yes master.”

They both vanished in a puff of black smog.

“You ****ing bastard, this is all your god damn fault! It's because of you my daughter has been possessed by a demon's spirit!”

“Are you really that blind? This would have happened, whether or not I intervened in your life. Your daughter would have been the key to Hel's resurrection either way.”

“Why her?”

“I don't know how, but obviously she possessed enough ki to satisfy Hel's appetite.”

“So what do you suggest we do? Sit around and wait for Ragnarok?”

“No, we find Tkorg and your father.”

“Why?”

“Well need their help to stop Hel, obviously.”

“Vlok...”

“Yes?”

“Can we defeat Hel without killing Levena?”

“Yes.”

“Really?”

“Even if I have to give my own life, your daughter will be returned to her normal self. Even if I have to ask for his help.”

“His?”

“Odin.”

End Chapter Four.

Chapter Five


“Where the hell are we?” Jin inquired, “this is like something you see on some whacked out sci-fi or fantasy video game.”


“This is my home, Asgard,” the demigod stated matter-of-factly.


The Valkyries and Eihanders gave Vlok and his comrades disapproving looks.


“They really don't seem to like humans,” Tiara stated the obvious.


“Perhaps, but it's halflings that they are most detesting of.”


“Well, well, look at what the cat dragged in.”


Vlok was confronted by a somewhat shorter man with no scruff and golden blond hair. He was attired in silver armor and held on to a giant war mallet.


“Thor,” Vlok scowled.


“You've really done it now, releasing Hel upon the Earth.”


“What makes you think I had a hand in it?”


“Well, perhaps it's not your fault directly, but if you were half the warrior I am, you would have been able to prevent such a travesty.”


“Bastard,” Vlok muttered under his breath.


“Now now, is that anyway to treat the one who going to exorcise your demon?”


“What?”


“Odin ordered me, personally, to extract the demon from the helpless human child.”


“Um, Thor?” Tiara inquired. “My daughter will be unharmed, right?”


“Exorcisms are a painless process for the victim. She will be just fine.”


“I bet,” Vlok scoffed.


“Let's be reasonable, shall we?” Thor suggested, “if this was YOUR child, Vlok, I would probably allow it to be killed in the exorcism process, but his lady on the other hand, well, she's one find lady. Too good for the likes of you.”


Tiara took Thor's hands in her own. “Why thank you, Lord Thor. I must say, you are very handsome... and so very kind. Maybe when this is all over, you and I can get a cup of coffee or something. That is, if Earth traditions don't insult you or anything.”


“Why, that would be a lovely idea.”


Vlok's scowling was more than audible.


“Be careful now, Vlok, you might just tempt me to kill you.”


“You know full well my power is greater than your own.”


“I beg your pardon?”


Vlok threatened his half brother. “You know the only reason you're alive is because we need your assistance. Otherwise, I would have killed you without hesitation.”


“Vlok, why do you have to be such a miserable shit?” Tiara violently protested his behavior. “Mark my words, no worthwhile woman will EVER give you the time of day. In fact, we don't need your help! Thor, dad, let's go.


“Come on bebe, we've got a world to save!” Jin proudly exclaimed, forcing Tkorg to giggle in admiration.


Vlok stood as he watched them leave him behind.


“Such is the curse of a halfling.”


“Odin.” Vlok shook with a megaton rage.


It was a man who looked almost identical to Vlok, expect for the fact that his skin was of a fairer tone and his facial hair was much longer and neater.


“The woman is right, no worthwhile woman will ever see fit to show you any sort of kindness. I can see it now, when Tiara, who is the most beautiful woman I've ever seen, exceeds her mortal life, she will live among us gods as a Valkyrie, serving us the finest of mead and servicing our utmost sexual desires. All the while, you're stuck with getting STD-ridden hookers on Earth, where people only pretend to respect you because they don't want you to kill them.”


“Mark my words... father. As soon as Hel is destroyed, by my hands, I will slaughter you and all those loyal to you.”


“Oh?”


“While it may be true that humans will never accept what they can't comprehend, in your case, and the case of the entire Pantheon, you are simply jealous because you know your ki cannot compare to my own. You are jealous that I, a halfling, have surpassed you, hence I was exiled to Earth.”


“Leave my sight at once, halfling!”


“No need to ask, your highness.”


Vlok's monstrous voice sent a chill down Odin's spine.


Elsewhere, at the UEF Tower in Taipei, Taiwan...


“This is the world government's building... are you sure we'll find them here?” Tiara inquired.


“Of course, they have no intention of hiding from us. And as Azarel works here, it would be the most logical choice,” Thor stated matter of factly.


Before they knew it, they were teleported to the top floor, which in its entirety was the executive office of Patriarch Azarel.


“Thor, you're quite the smart one. You deserve a cookie,” Azarel mocked him.


“Where's my daughter?” Tiara demanded to know.


“She's already in Asgard, about to make her move against Odin.”


“What?!” Thor inquired.


“I wouldn't worry about him. If all goes according to plan, Vlok will go into a berserk rage and kill Hel, Odin, and everyone else! And after he realizes that he killed the daughter of his beloved, he'll have no choice to take his own life! Afterwards, I will be supreme ruler of all creation!”


“Oh god,” Tiara realized in horror, “you plotted this?”


“Yes, for over two hundred thousand years, I've plotted both my take over of the human realm, or rather, Midgard, and the realm of the gods, Valhalla. When Hel created us Arcanans, he was still weak from his injuries suffered at the hands of Odin, therefore he didn't quite have complete control over us. In time, I decided to take matter into my own hands. I devoured the other Arcanans, until I had enough power to telepathically control the earth's governments into conceding their will to mine.”


((((-))))


Meanwhile, in Asgard....


Odin sat upon his throne, drinking mead fed to him by beautiful Valkyries, ignorant of the danger ahead.


“Odin, it sure has been a while.”


Odin was flabbergasted as a gorgeous Asian woman, who looked identical to Tiara, walked towards him, completely nude. “Tiara, you do me a great service by humbling yourself to me like this. Perhaps we should get better acquainted by ourselves?”


“I would like that.”


Odin signaled for the Valkyries to leave them.


“I have to say, you are the most beautiful woman I've ever seen.” He got up from his throne to move in. Just as he was about to cop a feel, he felt a sharp pain in his chest.


He coughed up blood, then realized all too late that this woman was actually Hel in the body of Levena. His vision went blurry as he saw his beating heart in Hel's hand, and dropped dead seconds later.


“Well Vlok, it seemed I saved you the trouble of killing him yourself.”


“As much as I appreciate it, I think it's time for me to kill you in his stead.” Apparently Vlok was aware of her presence in Valhalla.


“Are you going to kill me, and ultimately end up killing mankind's chance of salvation? Better yet, end up making Tiara detest you even more?”


“There's no point in anything, as I'll never be appreciated anywhere.”


“So you'd kill me, even though I possess the body of the one who loves you?”


Vlok sneered, “what the hell are you talking about?”


“Levena here is no mere mortal, lowly halfling. She is Ragnarok incarnate. For Levena has the ability to channel infinite ki, Ragnarok saw Tiara's unborn child as the chosen one, hence she merged with her. Even though she appeared as a child, Levena was well aware of everything that went on in the world, including how much you desperately attempted, though futilely, to make her mother happy. Such compassion touched her, to the point where she fell for you. Knowing she would look identical to her mother when she became of age, she hoped that you would fall for her just like her mother.”


“Do you fear death so much that you would make up these blatant lies?”


“It's true, you will see for yourself when I am separated from her. Now that Odin is dead, the seal is broken and I am now able to assume my original, all powerful, omnipotent form!”


A black aura escaped from Levena's body and in the sky above, began materializing a demonic beast.


Levena slowly gained consciousness, still in the form of a fully figured woman.


Vlok could sense her soul had no traces of evil, and therefore knew this was not one of Hel's deceptions. “Levena...”


“Vlok...”


In the Valhalian sky above, Hel had completed his transformation. He was a severely muscled, bipedal, and faceless demon, save for a monstrous mouth, with gray skin and razor sharp claws.


“Here, daddy.” She materialized an obsidian sword out of nothing.


“I'm not your father...”


“Well, I want you to be. I know you'll make my mother very happy. Even though I wish you'd love me instead, I know full well that when you look at me, you only think of her. So please, make her happy, for both our sakes.”


“What's with this sword?”


That sword possesses an infinite amount of ki, the ki of Ragnarok. With it, you shall be able to dispatch any enemy with but a single stroke.


“Now, as the king all creation, I shall destroy each and every one of you who opposes my rule!” Hel announced arrogantly as he flew in for a mighty blow.


However, with the power of Ragnrok at his disposal, with but a single strike from Vlok, Hel exploded into a mass of blood and bodily chunks.


“This power is my gift to you, daddy.”


“I am most grateful, Leneva. Though, it pains me to say that your mother is the only one I'm interested in, I do love you... as the daughter I've never had.”


“Thank you, daddy.”


“And now it's about damn time I schooled someone else we know....”


End Chapter Five.

Chapter Six


Since I'm a sap for happy endings, I've decided to make a happy ending. However, I've also decided to make both a tragic ending, in addition to an even more tragic ending, for all you sadistic bastards out there. Do keep in mind this is just a rough draft, and these endings here are in particular bare boned, but hopefully one day I will have the talent necessary to expand upon this story and make it more final draft-ish, ne? Now let's get this shit over with...


Ending One: The Good


Vlok, with the power of Ragnarok at his disposal, arrived just in time to save Tiara, Jin, and Tkorg from the wrath of Azarel. However, it was too late for Thor, who was already killed. However, before they can celebrate, Loki, Odin's brother in law, begs Vlok to become their new king, as he is by far the finest warrior to ever set foot in the ****ing universe. Tiara, moved by her now grown daughter's admiration for Vlok, decides to wed him. Jin gets married to Tkorg. Leneva eventually finds her own lover. They all lived happily ever ****ing after... literally, because they live in ****ing Valhalla where no one ages a day past twenty-odd-something.


Ending Two: The Bad


Vlok arrived just in time to save Tiara, Jin, Tkorg, and Thor from Azarel's wrath. Despite her daughter's plea, Tiara refuses to acknowledge Vlok as a worthy lover. Loki shows up to announce that the remaining Pantheon have chosen Thor as their new leader. Tiara ends up with Thor, Jin with Tkorg, and they live happily ever after. Vlok, on the other hand, commits suicide. Feeling lonely, Levena follows suit, and quite frankly, no one gave a crap that they're dead.


Ending Three: The Utterly Sadistic


Vlok arrives just in time to save Tiara, Jin, and Tkorg from Azarel's wrath. It was too late for Thor though, poor bastard, he already died. Loki showed up to announce that Vlok, most awesome bad ass ever, was elected the new king of Asgard. Despite pleas from Levena, Tiara dismissed her daughter's advice and did not give herself to Vlok. Rather, she revealed herself as a man hating dyke, and subsequently, so did Tkorg. They both fell madly in love. Jin then committed suicide because his lover dumped him for his daughter. Eventually, Vlok, so desperate for Tiara's love, came on to her genetically identical daughter and they had passionate sex and eventually he began to fall for her. Tiara, appalled that her daughter would **** Vlok, kills her out of disgust. Vlok, in a fit of rage, kills Tiara and Tkorg, followed by the entire population of Valhalla, save Loki, before committing suicide. Loki then assumes the throne of Valhalla and lives happily ever after, spending an eternity merrily jerking it to gay porn.


The End! WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
