The four stand in the middle of the huge battlefield. Silence and tension grow more and more as Heimdall stands in the middle of the three Legionnaires.
But Thorne's the first to break the silence. Summoning a spear in his hand as he jumps into the sky and dives down on Heimdall. But Heimdall dodges with a blur of speed back. The spear in the ground cracks the ground. But Heimdall launches a barrage of Bifröst.
Thorne unleashes vioforla his spear and twirls it as he Deflects the barrage of blasts and then the tip of the blade engulfs in a gold wind like aura. As he launches back several mountain splitting air slashes. And Heimdall smiles like a mad man. "Is that spear going to change anything?"
But Heimdall dodges with swagger each of them just tilting his body side underneath, and then a spin past the other. "Did you know Lina squeaks like a kitten when she gets hurt?"
Thorne growls and roars immediately charges at Heimdall with the pointy spear. And points at Heimdall as he thrusts it several times at a dodging Heimdall and spins the spear onto its sickle side and himself to stab Heimdall's legs. "Rawww!" Heimdall mocks Thorne's yells as he dodges each attempt.
"You don't know anything about her." Thorne yelled.
"That's it. Be blind to everything I know. Heimdall hops over if and immediately after Thorne twirls around and swipes upwards with the sickle hook trying to hook Heimdall but mid hop. Heimdall Jumps on top of it and does a backflip.
And Thorne wastes no time as he roars and the spear immediately launches into the air as it suddenly multiplies into millions of them raining down As Heimdall keeps sprinting back to dodge until it stops and Heimdall then does a corkscrew into a spinning backflip and launches a projectile Bifröst slash "Hah!" with his hands with a spreading wave I
motion.
Thorne activates his shield and parries it to the right and Heimdall then blurs in speed in front of Thorne's face. Reaching to punch.
And fails as He blocks and pushes Heimdall back but Heimdall doesn't give up and spins around and knocks on the shield violently with both fists like a hammer. And punches again. "And now you're on the defense?" He pushes Thorne back. rolling forward to avoid him but Thorne spins around to hit Heimdall with his shield but mid front roll Heimdall uses his foot to block but is sent sliding But Heimdall then uses the foot to fly dust into Thorne's face "Wash your face!"
and successfully so, gets Thorne annoyed.
Dante and Yumi watch as they try to avoid the action. "Should we intervene yet?" Yumi looked over at Dante as they ran and watched from the sideline. "No. Let him get to used Thorne for a second. And then we give him of our medicine."
Heimdall tries to shove him. But Thorne activates his shield and is sent sliding back back and stabs the spear into the ground to kill his momentum. Scraping the pointy tip across the floor. Making wind and sparks fly at Heimdall's careless tactic.
But the god of foresight blurs his body to the side. "That's cute." Thorne grabs his axe as it bursts into flames. And spins around to throw it full force. But Heimdall knew that and stayed tilted and teleports to reach Thorne. Thorne recalls the axe. but Heimdall came from behind to kick him. But Thorne summons the spear into his hand and gives it to Heimdall's hand. And Heimdall smiles, thinking it was just another good read and grins until it detonates in his hands. "Shit!" He waves over his face. But he's grinning.
The distraction gets Thorne active to launch a punch with his right Heimdall dodges with ease, trying to get Heimdall off balance. He goes for another swing with his left which Heimdall is pleased to weave again. He goes again but back to back with hooks from each direction with insane precision. It's almost like Heimdall watches in slow motion. As his head and body movement move crazy to dodge the first pattern. And Heimdall ducks and rotates to the outside dodge for the second. Grinning. "Mmm. You know, I can feel your frustration. It's immensely satisfying."
"Not good." Dante watches from above the battle field. On the palace roof. Crouched into stance. Ready to get in tho battle. "Yumi, we should—" he looked to his side. Expecting Yumi to be right there. And he stares. "Yumi?" He looked confused. And looked back at the battle field. Eyes wide. "Crap."
Thorne looked up as Yumi Dived in. Throwing a smoke bomb. Which denotated a second after hitting the ground. And Heimdall was in the middle of it all. Eyes wide with a smirk. "… Well?" Fully expecting the attack from the shadows. And Yumi went for a reverse grip slice with her Katana but Heimdall spun back and stood back into space. Before waving his arms to blow the wind away with smoke.
She stayed in the same position with her eyes closed. And Heimdall with his arms out staring with a sly smile on his face. Yumi got up from her previous stance glancing to her side. "You're strong. But you go for the weak?"
Heimdall smiles amused. "Are you worried I put you down there?" But Yumi twirled her Katana and went back into stance. "No. Your preferences don't prove anything godlike." She blurs in speed as she tries to blitz Heimdall. But Heimdall dodges with ease. Yumi tries to prevail doing another several times. But Heimdall pulls out Hofund and hits her in the throat with the hilt. But she doesn't stop there.
She swings downward, Heimdall blocks with his sword horizontally but she spins her Katana around and tries to hit him in the chin with the hilt. Yet she fails. Leaving her open for a counter Heimdall doesn't hesitate with. Trapping her arm and throwing her. She rolls to her feet. Seizing to dodge Heimdall's stomp and she spins around behind him for a slice but Heimdall turns back and parries him.
The two spinning in opposite directions to open themselves into a attack. With Heimdall going for a stab. But Yumi surprisingly tilts to the wide. . And with her sword held in reverse grip with both hands. Goes to stab him. But he hops back. "Hey! Careful. That was my stomach." He smirked.
"Stop fighting like a coward." Yumi yelled. And Heimdall laughed. "I'm not even trying."
Thorne roars as he swings at Heimdall with his axe. And Heimdall weaves with a lean back. "Hello!" Thorne immediately goes in for a thrust. Into a twirl to hit him with the hook. And spins around the opposite direction to launch a devasting slash. But Heimdall isn't up for any of that as he dodges again. And he growls. But this time he has a trick up his sleeve. He spins the spear around himself as it clangs against his fiery axe. Engulfing the tip on flames.
as he starts spinning and twirling the spear around, flames all gather into a fiery tornado. And launches at Heimdall. But Heimdall literally phases through it with a teleportation. And the fire tornado literally destroys Half of Hrimthur's wall and causing massive destruction. "Come on! You didn't have to make my job harder than it is!"
Thorne roars when he swings his axe down on Heimdall. This was routine for Heimdall as he simply took a step back. But Thorne wasn't done. He threw the axe at him upwards from his previous position. Trying to snipe him. But again, it's a weekend job for the god of foresight. Thorne recalls it. Spins around, and swings visiously at Heimdall's neck. But Heimdall is only chuckling. "I really don't think it's hot enough here."
"Soon enough, It'll come to fry you." Yumi comes back. She swings upward. Blocked. Diagonally. Dodges. To the right horizontally. Narrowly dodged. She spins the opposite direction and Heimdall pushes her arm away, making her spin the opposite direction for a stab. But Heimdall just slaps her back with Bifröst in his hands and sends her flying several hundred feet to the wall. But she sticks it and Heimdall launches a blast of Bifröst at her.
she jumped off the wall. And spun horizontally like a windmill as she sliced through the Bifröst. But when she came down on Heimdall with an absolute pounce of a clash that destroyed the ground around them. Heimdall's shift in weight put her against the ground. And now it was a test of strength. "If I can see everything it doesn't matter how flashier you are." He said. pressing on her with as much strength as he could. And it was showing she wasn't the strength type.
"I don't think so!" Dante came in flying with a kick into this scene. And Heimdall grabbed him by the throat Mid air. And choke slammed him into the ground so hard the ground turns into stepping stones. Dante groans in pain as he bounces off of the choke slam. But rolls onto one knee.
Dante rubbed his back with the back of his hand. The other hand on the ground. "It's… not too late to back out…" he grunts as he slowly gets up. And Heimdall grins cheekily.
"I think I should be the one telling you that." He cracks his knuckles. "This has gone far too long."
Dante got up. Back into stance. "Huh. Likewise." He shook his hand off.
Dante lunged with a knee, but Heimdall caught it effortlessly.
Heimdall swung a punch, only for Dante to catch it again, gritting his teeth.
"For what reason did you have to kill an innocent girl's dad? History? Jealousy that you didn't have a slightly better dad like him?"
Their eyes locked, tension thick between them. Heimdall leaned in close.
"I was sick and tired of that old man. Farbauti, a jötunn. Enemy of my people. Millions died to his race. And he had his own place in my realm, among my people."
Dante spun into a backflip, which Heimdall narrowly dodged with a blur of motion. "How do you know he didn't participate?" He raised the question. And Heimdall narrowed his eyes.
"I. See. Everything. And his special daughter was the tip of the hat. She thought she was better then me, because the all-father saw her as special." Heimdall clenched his fists. Dante furrowed his eyebrows at his words. "Listen, If you think everyone's the same,"
"You're wrong." Dante stepped forward. "People can change."
Heimdall's eyes flashed with anger.
"I know you. You're predictable."
"You should've known, you're a step back." Dante called him out. Thorne comes back to hunt him with punches. And Dante goes for a kick. But Heimdall jumps into the sky. Flipping until he gets upside down. And launches Bifröst. But the two hop away and Thorne launches a absolute canon of a spear. And it multiplies into hundreds. Making Heimdall maneuver mid air through all of it.
With an effort, he also throws his axe at Heimdall, which Heimdall's Head narrowly dodges. But it bounces off the spear like ping ping but the jackpot is Heimdall. But Heimdall smirks as he pulls a flip and starts jumping off the spears as he dodges the axe and the rain of spears mid air with a massive grin on his face. "Don't you toy with me."
Yumi awaits Heimdall's landing as she gets ready to swing from her sheathe. But Heimdall is swiftly over her. And grabs her arm to throw her. But throws Kunai's at him. But he dodges in between. And goes to reach to her. But Dante's there to launch himself with a punch. But Heimdall punches him in the stomach. Stumbling Dante back. And dodges narrowly Heimdall's face shove leaning back. And using his standing hand to support a barrage of kicks from both feet. But Heimdall was blocking it all. Frustrating Dante as he groans.
However, Dante broke his block with a backflip kick. Sending his arms flying. And Thorne flies to swing at Heimdall. All of his rapid swing directed at Heimdall's head. Jab, cross, hook, it was everything mixed into an unpredictable combo. Which made Heimdall hesitate. But Thorne stepped on Heimdall's foot, taking Heimdall off guard. and feints a right punch with a left hook which makes Heimdall block with his arm to protect his head with a smirk on his face. And he blows everyone back with an explosion of Bifröst.
Dante ragdolls but stands up immediately. Ready to continue fighting until he stops. He looks at the sky. And the sky above them looks like a full on galaxy of Bifröst. And dusts dissipate Heimdall. Showing himself engulfed in his own Bifröst. "Ah.. armor fit for a god…." He looked at the sky with a blissful look on his face.
But Dante couldn't help but break him down. "You stopped dancing." Heimdall tilted his head. "I stopped. But Can you do it again?" He smirked. Yumi blurred in again. This time Heimdall didn't move from it. He accepted it. And it didn't do anything.
Thorne recalled the axe. But Yumi wasn't gonna stop just seeing it. She scrapped her Katana with it. Engulfing it in flames. And she dashes in with another blitz. But before it lands. She engulfs her Katana in lighting. The fire colliding with the lightning. And then suddenly. Lightning struck with flames as, causing a powerful explosion around the area appears.
But Heimdall comes out Just fine. "Boo-hoo…" he dissipates the flames and dust. And Yumi snarled. "You are annoying." Heimdall smiled. "I'm glad you notice how pathetic you are."
Dante came flying with a front flip kick with his heel dropping on Heimdall. But his Bifröst shield protects him from it. And Dante slides as he lands and Heimdall goes to kick him as he's on the ground,
but he handsprings back. Spinning his legs like a helicopter to deflect the kick. Suprising Heimdall. And while in the same position kicks upward while he's upside down but Heimdall blocks with his hand. The strength makes a visible impact in the air. "Hey!" Dante introduced himself. then slide between Heimdall's legs. "You're not the only agile one." Doing a two touch kick but Heimdall grabs both feet.
"Who do you think I am!?" Heimdall tries to push Dante but he leans forward. Pushing himself over Heimdall's head with a twist in the air "A bad boy with divine powers?" And Heimdall growls as he slams his hand into the ground digging into it as he scrapes his hand and throws a piece of rock. But Dante catches It mid air as he's in the air and slams it into Heimdall. But it doesn't affect him. But the rock shatters. "That shield's gonna give out somehow." Dante says confidently.
"When I'm done with the three of you, and can continue with my day!" Heimdall comes to crush Heimdall but Dante's too fast. And lands on a nearby wall.Dante dodges incoming Bifröst projectiles as he wall runs. "Sorry to tell you, but your days are done." And hops off the wall. Rolling and dashing as he lunges with a punch which doesn't move Heimdall. And goes for a punch on his stomach. Which Heimdall catches and is ready to launch a devastating blow.
But Yumi comes in with a flying kick of herself which Heimdall blocks with his arm. And the two smirk at Heimdall's shock.
Kragurs words flow into their minds, "the most you can do is overwhelm him. I think that's how you can win."
Heimdall narrows his eyes. "You're nowhere near me."
the two teleport and Yumi is on offense with her swinging her Katana in ways that makes Heimdall question where's she's going and Dante is outside of her attack ring as he himself is trying to improvise for every opening Yumi can't get Heimdall.
But after all of these attempts. Heimdall plays the fun game as Heimdall ducks under Dante's punch and punches a barrage into his chest before front kicking him and then takes a step back to spin around and heel kick Yumi in the face. When you least expect. Thorne comes in too. Swinging his axe violently upwards. But Heimdall dodges to the side with swagger as he uppercuts and slaps him in the same combo.
But the other two aren't done since Yumi and Dante come back into the picture and Dante goes on the left with a hook to the face and Yumi a stab to the abdomen but Heimdall blocks with opposite hands. But the two disappear because Thorne comes in with his spear and drives into the Bifröst aura shielded Heimdall. And Heimdall laughs. "Really?"
"Yeah." Thorne corrects him as the spears tip turns golden and suddenly siphons Heimdall's Bifröst. Sucking the aura shield off of him. Leaving Heimdall shocked. But Thorne then thrusts again but makes Heimdall slouch back his stomach.
And now, he started his Magic he went bare fisted, desummoning the spear. All of his rapid swing directed at Heimdall's head. Jab, cross, hook, it was everything mixed into an unpredictable combo again. Doing the same thing as the last time. which Heimdall dodge more confidently But instead of what happened where Heimdall blocked. He fakes the punch that makes Heimdall want to cover his head with his arm. And grabs his hand and slams his fist into his face so hard that makes Heimdall stumble back and looks at his face that has a scratch on his face. And he grits his teeth as he looks at the blood. "You… actually hit me!"
He glares at Thorne. Who spins the spear around onto its hook part and stabs Heimdall's other cheek and scrapes it violently with the hook. Making Heimdall grunt. And Heimdall tries to punch but it's parried by Thorne and spins around to back hand with the shield and puts his hook on Heimdall's neck. Yanking him forward. Spinning around. And driving the spear diagonally into his left arm all the way into knee cap which makes Heimdall yell violently.
The spear dissipates into a short spear stocked into Heimdall's knee. And Thorne kicks him into the sky. Where he meets Dante. Who punches him in the face. Before grabbing him by the wrist and then landing his feet on his stomach. Pushing Heimdall down to the floor.
Where he's bounced to Yumi. Her Katana's sharp blade digging deep into Heimdall's stomach. And slashes out of his stomachs with a slash. Leaving him holding his stomach and Pain. But Thorne shoulder bashes Heimdall into the Everhart palace. Flying through a wall. Ragdolling violently as he gets up. "You idiots! I'll teach you a lesson—" And he's met by Dante's 540 degree spinning kick. Which sends Heimdall flying to Thorne.
Who catches him in between the plates of the Elyngardian shield. And stabs him stomach with his Axe. But Heimdall grabs his sword Hofund and stabs his arm. Making him drop his shield hand. Dante comes in again with another kick but Heimdall dodges and kicks Dante in the back. And mid roll and upside down. Launches a hell blaze at Heimdall. Making him groan.
Dante jumps onto the wall. "C'mon Heimdall." He says running up the wall. And jumping off. As well as Yumi who jumps into the sky. Which the two cross in the sky. But don't necessarily do anything but leave Heimdall distracted for a open punch to the face By Thorne.
Who then positions his shield for Dante to run off of it and try to punch him. But Heimdall has his arms up. But Dante jumps back off of his arms high into the sky. And turns around mid air with his fist already ready to land down as he dives forward and punches Heimdall. And he rolls and lands into a superhero pose. "Keep this up, you're not gonna like my teacher evaluation."
Heimdall was on the floor. Defeated before everyone's eyes. Thorne had his spear near Heimdall's head. With Yumi right beside him. "You didn't believe that mortals can adapt to you?" Panting. "No…" he grinned corner to corner. "Who said I was done yet!?"
"SLOW DOWN!" Echoed across the room. Slowing down time. Heimdall grabbed He went to punch Yumi in the face. Not once, not twice, but three times. Causing injuries across her face clearly knocking her out. But he grabs her by the throat. And throws her into Thorne. Which slowly knocks him out. Before grabbing his throat with immense strength. Clapping on his neck. Almost trying to pop it. But he stops for a moment. And time resumes. Feeling something off. "Where is that brat?"
But before he says anything Dante grabbed Heimdall from behind and threw him away from his friend. "Thorne! Yumi!" He looks at the two who are very far away from each other. And Thorne looks at Dante. And can't speak as his neck is purple. And puts his hand on Dante hand. Seeing the golden ring on his hand. And Dante looks back at Thorne with Hesitation.
But looks back at Heimdall. Who taunts as he dusts off his shoulder. "Are you seeing the deadbeat creatures you call friends?" Dante narrows his eyes as he looks back. Taking the ring. "I'll be back soon." He whispered as he got up. And stared down at Heimdall. Heimdall doing the same.
"Defiance: is written all over them. But I must say, you. Dante Koryu, Absolutely mesmerize me. You bring order. Just what the All-Father Always had… you shape others. And I'm the first to say this. But I can help you do it the right way." he showed his hand to Dante. "You can't say no to that."
"Thanks. But… No thanks." Dante slowly walked forward. summoning the spear. "You fight for what's written. I fight for what's right."
Heimdall seems amused. And he scoffed. "Do you think you can beat me? You will lose. There's no other way around it."
"Then I'll find another way." Dante summoned his spear, As he clenched his fist.
"Hmm." Heimdall gets annoyed. "Have It your way. You'll hit a wall eventually." He grins with both of his fists Clenched as Dante charges with the spear. Coming for a stab which Heimdall counterattacks with a punch. And punches Dante again. Going for a third, but Dante pushes him back with the spear. Going low.
He dodges a shove from Heimdall but Dante spins past it and tries to sweep his legs with it. But Heimdall tries to jump odd of it it. But Dante launches the spear with him. And he hits the ceiling. But Dante catches his arm as he falls and takes him down to the ground. "Gotcha." Dante replied. But Heimdall unsheathed his sword and slashes Dante on the cheek. Kicking him in the face.
Stumbling him back, grunting. And Dante throws a spear at the ceiling as Heimdall flies at him. Summoning another spear as he smacks it on the ground. Detonating the spear on the ceiling. Making it crash down on Heimdall as soon as Heimdall forgot the other spear was still detonated into his knee.
Dante Summons another spear. "That's it?" He asks. And he's overestimated Heimdall who explodes everything back with Bifröst. And a chunk glass gets stabbed into Dante's stomach. Making him groan. "Never mind…"
"I didn't have to say anything." Heimdall was with shards in his body. And his tunic and outfit were damaged. Dante ripped the glass out of himself. But Heimdall blurred in speed and punched Dante's chest armor into pieces. Shocking him. And Heimdall slaps him across the face. And grabs a piece of glass from his own body and stabs Dante's cheek. "Now we're equal!" And punches Dante in the stomach so hard he sends him flying into a wall.
Heimdall's eyes widen in excitement as he sees Dante vulnerable. And he grabs Dante's fave as he slams his head into the ground. "You," Scraping it against the ground. "Are an Imbecile."
He grabbed Dante and thrower him into the wall where he bounces back. And Heimdall slams his elbow upwards as he flies toward him. "And you'll die for it." Slamming him against the ceiling. Waiting for him to drop. He elbow drops his stomach. Making him cough blood mid contact. "But before that." Dante gets punched and knocked to the floor ragdolling by Heimdall grunting. Bleeding from his nose. And just as he's about to get up, gritting his teeth, he gets front kicked to the face. And Dante holds his jaw tightly "Agh!"
"Tell me." Heimdall raised his head. Asserting his dominance. "What inspires you?" He grinned. "I'm curious, you know. As Heimdall monologued, Sante crawled away. "I wonder, What the grandson of the butcher of Olympus. The god of war, the same god who was so consumed by rage, he tore the Greek pantheon apart. His own family." He spat with venom.
For the first time in awhile, Dante was poisoned in shock. His ears were in disbelief. And it synced with his eyes.
"And that's your blood, isn't it? Ares, the fallen god of war. Is your grandfather, correct?"
Dante looked back. "You knew?"
And Heimdall let out a dry laugh "Of course I did! Who didn't? You reek like a pest."
Dante gritted his teeth at Heimdall's words. "You're wrong."
"Oh, but I'm right." He grinned. "But Don't worry, I'll send you to him."
Dante clenched his fist. "You knew!" as his foot swept Heimdall's. And Heimdall yelped.
Dante grabbed his tunic as he stood up."You motherfucker!"And punches him in the face. And Heimdall blocks it as he ragdolls and lands on his feet all of a sudden.
"I hate to say it. But This means too much to me." Heimdall clenched his fists. A malevolent grin on his face.
"Not more. Then it means," Dante lunges and swings his fist. But Heimdall dodges.
He summons the spear into his hands. Raising it to drive it into Heimdall. "To me!"
Heimdall blurs back. But Dante stabs the spear into the ground. And keeps spamming spears into the ground. Confusing Heimdall. "What are you doing?"
Heimdall smirked in amusement as he lunges to him. But Dante side steps him. Detonating the landmine of spears below him. Stunning him. "Argh!!"
Dante roars and stabs him in the shoulder. Summoning another spear to hit him with the hook across the Jaw. And spins around to stab him with the hook. But Heimdall weaves. "Damn you…"
"What's the matter?" Dante threatened. Walking up to him. And Heimdall threw Bifröst projectiles. But Dante dodges one titling his head to the left side. Throwing a spear that hits him in the chest. Dodges one with the right. And dodges Another by sidestepping him. And he detonates the spear as Heimdall falls to the ground. And Dante clashes strength with Heimdall against each other and Heimdall bit his lips.
"Die!!" Dante summons the spear in his hands. Getting that much closer to Heimdall's throat. And Heimdall's eyes widen. "Only one gets out of here alive. And as sure as shit won't be me."
Dante keeps getting close. Threatening to end Heimdall. But he hesitates. And roars as he lets off. Looking from Heimdall's point of view that he was gonna end him. But he throws a spear into the ceiling and detonates it. Making it fall on both. But Dante moves out of the way. Trapping him in rubble.
As the dust goes away. Dante glares. Holding the spear like a cane. While Heimdall pants. "What are you doing…?"
Dante desummoned the spear. "We're done." He looked back at his friends. "More you than me."
Heimdall chuckled. "Oh… no." He glares. "You have to be kidding me!"
"Is that why you're white haired? Because your mind is dark with idiocy!?" Heimdall roars. Going feral. "I'm Heimdall, born in gladsheim. My father gave me the Gjallarhorn. to be important. To be better. I am the scion of the Aesir!"
"I'm sorry to hear that," Dante holds Lina. Holding her fainted body. Putting it close to his other friends. "You should get as much as help as you can."
"What?" Heimdall said blankly. And he died of laughter. "You are an imbecile, Koryu. And when I see you again. I can't wait to kill you." He says trying to push the rubble off. But he's too weak to do anything.
He accidentally dropped the Gjallarhorn. And Dante sees it. And he takes it to himself. "Well," he clenches it in his hand. "I can."
Before anything else can happen though, The ravens surround Dante and his friends. Teleporting them away. But then. Odin and Thor come in. "Where is Loki?" Odin asked. And Heimdall is Terrified. "All-Father, I can explain!"
"Where is the girl…?" Odin asked quietly. Thor spinning Mjölnir in his hand as he walked up to him. Picking up Heimdall from the rubble. And he got on his knees. "They took her."
"Heimdall, what are you talking about?" Odin clenched his fist. "You were just fighting them!"
"I tried! But I didn't suceed—"
Thor pushed Heimdall back. His hammer crackling with lightning. "Careful with the language. I clean mistakes."
Heimdall couldn't keep his mouth shut. "You—" but before he can say another word. Thor destroyed Heimdall's arm off throwing Mjölnir and squashing Heimdall's arm against the wall. And Heimdall looked terrified. His breath shaky. And he screamed in fear. "Ahh!!!" He dropped to his knees. And Thors blue, thunderous eyes glared at Heimdall. And he put his other hand out. "No… no, please! I—" Heimdall is slammed into Mjölnir. Knocking him out in cold blood. His Bifröst eyes lose color. Deactivated.
Odin moaned. "Ha… little brat…" he facepalmed himself. And Thor stared at his father. "The Valkyries are searching. They'll have her back by then." he assured. Walking out of the destroyed palace. Leaving Heimdall there.
Meanwhile in Midgard…
Mimir is being dragged by Magni and Modi at the top of Midgard. And they stop. Throwing him into the ground. And Mimir pants. Half naked. Only a towel around his waist.
"Bastards…"
The two brothers look at each other. And then Magni speaks. "You're the bastard for rebelling the All-Father."
"You two are blind sided…" Mimir furrowed. "He's not family. He's using it to gain from you."
Modi glares as he smacks him with the shield. "You took an absolute gorgeous woman away from my hold. How dare you!"
Mimir stared. Almost annoyed. "Is that all you care about?"
And then. A man with tattoos all over his body and Bifröst eyes just like Heimdall came over. Pushing the two brothers. "Move," He grabbed Mimir by the throat. . "I'm sorry you were having a mid life crisis. But your bullshit is final."
Mimir glared. "I'm not your Mother, Baldar."
"It doesn't matter what you say. I feel… Nothing." He throws him off the cliff. Not hearing anything. The three stare down at him. And the man that threw him was the first to walk away. "Let's go." And the two brothers followed along. The three dissipating into Ravens.
Meanwhile. The 4 landed into the ground with a loud thud. Luckily just right there to the Athena legion hall.
And Lili came out to see the 4. And Lili yelled to Athena. "They're here!"
Inside. Dante was on the counter. The ring put aside. While Thorne and Yumi were being healed.
"These two are heavily injured." Athena does her magic. "How did you get out alive?"
"The god of foresight couldn't see what defined him." He leaned back. But couldn't as he held his injured body. He groans.
"Was he that strong?" Lili asked. Who was criss crossed Apple-sauce. Looking at him from the couch.
"It was a group effort." He looked at Lili. "It was worth it." Athena turned back to Dante. "I knew Heimdall was the evil of all of this. And what happened to the girls father?" Dante looked hesitant
"He… died." he looked concern. And everyone seemed silent. But Dante cleared it up. "But at least Lina's safe." The three smiled to each other. "You do know I'm gonna have to patch you up to, right?" Athena teased. And Dante rolled his eyes and grinned. "Make it quick." And Lina, the least injured one. Gets up groggily. "What… happened?"
The two, Dante and Lina were outside. Dante patched as Athena promised as the two were sitting on the grass against the wall.
"Seriously? And he didn't get up?" Lina asked surprised. And Dante chuckled. "Yeah."
"Wow, I didn't know you three were so strong." She smiled. And Dante smirked. "That's us." The two looked away from each other. There was a soft silence as they looked into the city. "Thanks, by the way. It should've been my fight." She spoke up. And Dante nodded. "And It's my responsibility to save people."
"So… what're you gonna do now?" He looked over at her. And she tucked her knees and hugged herself.
"I don't know." She looked down. "I didn't want to be there… but it's the only thing I knew…" she burried her face into her arms. "It hurts."
"You can always be with us." He pointed back at the Legion hall. "We have a lot of room. Food, and company."
She looked over at Dante teasingly. "You're acting like I never had that." And Dante stopped for a moment just as he was gonna defend himself. "Hey I—" He stopped himself. "Right." Pressing his head against the wall.
"What do you think he would want me to do." She looked at Dante. Curious.
"Well… Elyngard's your searching place." He stood up. "Avoiding all the chaos that happens daily.
"I'm already searching though…" She said exhausted. And Dante looked at her smugly. "You can always put that on your resume."
"Yeah…" Lina looked up. And she hopped to her feet. "You're right. I should do my own thing."
"Yeah." He grinned. His hands on his hips.
"I used to believe loyalty was everything.
To Asgard. To blood. To the crown I was born beneath.
I followed orders because they gave me shape.
I stood beside monsters and called them gods,
because it was easier than asking if they were right.
And then one day, I met people who didn't care where I came from.
They didn't flinch when I raised my voice.
They didn't kneel when I spoke my name.
They just… fought beside me. Bled beside me.
And in doing so… they gave me something the gods never did.
A choice.
I didn't want my father to die.
But I'm not sure he ever truly lived.
Not outside that throne. Not outside their rules.
I used to think walking away was weakness.
Now I think maybe… it's the first sign of strength.
I don't know what I'll become yet.
A soldier? A protector? Just… Lina.
But whatever I am, it won't be because someone told me to be.
It'll be because I chose it.
And for the first time in my life…
that's enough."
The next day. The Athena legion were outside of the hall. With Lina set to leave with a few books in her arms. And Yumi hugs her tightly. "I hope this is not the end." She smiled warmly. And Lina smiled back. "Totally."
"The wolves were howling all morning over you." Thorne walked up to her. Towering over her. "Come over, they definitely want to be with you." She nodded. And Dante didn't say anything else. He just nodded and saluted. And she smiled. Her hair moving in the wind. And then Lili yelled. "Wait!"
She dashes over to her. And hugs her tightly. And cries. "Don't go!!!" She yells. And The entire legion dies of laughter. And even Athena stifles a laugh. Shaking her head. "What will I do with those four…"
The first spark was lit.
What began as divine order has unraveled into something far more human.
A spear was raised — not in victory, but in mercy.
A girl, once bound to blood and duty, found the strength to walk away.
And those once chosen by the gods?
Now they choose for themselves.
But the world is vast… and Elyngard is only one corner.
The wolves howl, the skies turn, and somewhere far beyond…
another shadow stirs.
This was never a story about gods.
It's a story about those brave enough to stand for themselves.
And it has only just begun.
