One shaking hand rose up.
Or should i say paw.
Breadtalk was still in his lion form, waving his paw up in the air whilst his face was still contorted with pain. Highly likely due to the cucumber sticking out of his posterior. Suddenly, he bent down at an angle, his face changed and a sound equivalent of a large cannon being shot off filled the room.
The cucumber flew out of his ass and straight into Soup's face.
“ME ME! I wanna be god! OH MAI GOD think of all the fun stuff we could do!!” Breadtalk exclaimed while the rest of us were laughing out asses off at Soup who's face so clearly spelt 'disgust' with a priceless facial expression.
Loki looked over at Breadtalk with a huge smile on his face.
“HAHAHA my new addition into the Norse family and my ex-disciple huh. I thought Jinx would wanna do it cos he's usually the more responsible one out of all of you.”
Nop. Being with them looking after them is already such a chore. Taking over the entire faction and managing thousands of people? Nuh uh. Nop. Not even if Breadtalk shoots 100 of those cucumbers at me.
Horse looked at me and smiled. She knew what I was thinking already.
“Alright then Breadtalk. I think if you're in charge, the least we could all say is that this quest will no doubt be an interesting one. And why would we wanna win something other than a beautiful and interesting game right?” Loki asked.
All of us nodded in agreement.
“Very well. Let me invite the new addition of our families over.”
*POOF*
“BOTs, I would like you to meet the new Skadi, Thor and Odin. Guys introduce yourselves! And oh don't worry. They will fit into the group dynamics quite splendidly.” Loki added.
First up was a male who looked to be 2-3 years older than us. He had unkempt medium length black hair and a typical 'Just got out of bed look'
“Hello. My name is Reaven. I've been selected to be the next Thor. Pleased to make your acquaintance.” He said.
Seems like a prim and proper nice chap even though he looks like that.
Next was a lady who was extremely fair, had long brown hair with big eyes, a small cute nose and a nice shy smile.
“Hi. My name is Wanda. I hope to be good friends with all of you.” She said in a timid voice.
The last of them was a tall boy around the same age as us who had short black hair. He was quite fair as well but his most prominent feature was his cold, black eyes.
“Hello. My name is Rogue. Pleased to meet you.” He said in an equally cold hard voice.
“Wanda's quite the looker.” I whispered to Horse.
“OOOOMMMMPFFF.” I said next, whimpering to a nearby hello kitty chair, clutching my balls.
Apparently Horse hasn't changed one bit. She was still obsessed with penises but not in the way I would want that obsession to be. Apparently she couldn't care less if it could work should there come a time I would pull a 50 shades of grey on her.
“Wanda let me show you around.” Breadtalk initiated, took her by the hand and quite literally kidnapped her and flew out of the meeting room using his wings from Baldy the Eagle. (Weapon number 5 in case you forgot.)
*POOF*
“SOUPPPPPPP!” A familiar voice screamed.
Soup turned around and saw.
“MACARONIIII!!!” He shouted as he went to embrace her.
Soup and Macaroni started going out in real life about 4 months after Horse and I went out. Meeting people through RR was the most common way to meet the opposite sex now. Online dating has reached a new level.
Beathoven went to greet Rogue and Reaven and decided to give them a VIP tour of the town since this was the first time they've been to Carnival.
With this, we got the usuals, Beathoven, Soup, Breadtalk, Horse, Macaroni and I, along with Reaven, Rogue, Wanda and Loki. We already had 10 gods on our side! Well techincally 9. Macaroni was not really a god she was still just a disciple of Surtr but we knew very well what a great help she could be.
-Meanwhile-
“WHERE THE HELL IS MOSES?!”
“Dear sire, please relax. Don't curse.”
“DON'T TELL ME HELL IS A SWEAR WORD. EVEN I CAN CURSE YOU KNOW!”
The door burst open and a panting young man with shaggy brown hair stood in the doorway.
“I'm so sorry Jesus. I can exp-”
“SORRY?! You know if I could be late, I would have chose to rise again on the 30thday instead of the 3rdyou know! I COULD'VE ENJOYED 27 MORE DAYS IN HEAVEN! BUT NOOOOOOO I CHOSE TO BE PUNCTUAL. BECAUSE MY DAD TOLD ME I NEED TO RISE AGAIN AFTER 3 DAYS. If my dad took 6 years instead of 6 days to create the universe THINGS WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY DIFFERENT AS WELL YOU KNOW. DON'T UNDERESTIMATE LATECOMING FAGGOT!” Jesus screamed.
“MY APOLOGIES SIRE!” Moses immediately shouted and went on his knees.
“Rise. Don't test my patience again. And next time if you're really running late, just cut through the moat. If you can split an ocean I don't see why you can't split apart a moat and jump through the back wall to reach this cathedral faster.”
“Yes Jesus. My sincere apologies.”
“Alright now go pin yourself up on that crucifix over there.”
“WHAT?!”
“Just kidding. Let's get onto the real matter at hand. Council. Rise.”
The full table of Jesus and his twelve disciples rose to their feet along with over 30 significant people of status inside their meeting room.
“Today, we discuss the Apocalypse. But before that. Let's have a last supper.”
-Meanwhile 2-
A blackened figure was sitting alone, desolate and lonely on his throne in a cave. His cave which was located so far from any civilisation. The cave itself led into a crater of a volcano so it was hot as hell as well. But it was a cave so huge it could easily fit a town inside.
“My lord, I've brought what you've tasked me to bring. I'm sorry it took so long.”
“No. You did well apostle. You did so well in bringing this to me. Just in time as well. Better late than never but you weren't even late. Come here let me give you a reward.” The figure said.
The apostle walked towards his lord.
“Here. I stumbled across these when I was venturing in disguise at a town earlier. They're called Milkybars if I'm not wrong. I had a few of them and I loved it so much I bought every available piece in stock and shipped them over here. They're in the refrigerator over there.” He pointed to a fridge the size of 20 cupboards.
“Take them as you wish. Anytime. Any amount. I am forever grateful.”
If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.
“MY LORD! I know how much you love sweet treats. This means so much to me I'll appreciate this priceless reward. I will always be faithful.” He pledged.
Satan stood up wearing his pink Nike trainers along with matching singlets and shorts and pat his apostle on his head.
“There there. You know how nice I am. Just continue giving me your best and I'll do the same.” He said as he put the book down on his throne.
It read : 'Ars Goetia – Part 1 of the Lesser Key of Solomon'
-Meanwhile 3-
A mysterious figure was sitting on a lotus, in full bloom on a pond.
“Master Master! The quest is out!”
“Relax young one. Nirvana cannot be reached if you get so excited over something so small.”
“How is this small master?”
“In the face of the universe. Everything is small. It is through nothingless that we attain the ultimate enlightenment.”
“Master. You know if you win this you will become the ultimate ruler of the universe and you can make your own rules right. Like if you become a vegetarian you become two times stronger or stuff like that.”
“YOU SHOULD'VE TOLD THIS TO ME SOONER. I'M GONNA BUDDHA PALM STRIKE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM!”
-Meanwhile 4-
In the depths of a labyrinth far far away, a holy figure engulfed and loved by the light was sitting atop his throne, gazing into nothing, planning ahead of his time.
“Your holiness, the quest is here.”
“I'm aware of that. Call Isis and Osiris over.”
Ra loved the two of them the most out of all his council because they were wise, good natured, committed and extremely loyal.
“I take it the two of you have heard about the turn of events?”
“Of course your grace.”
“Listen, I am turning old.. I don't think I have the power, confidence and drive to follow through with this. As such, I believe the wisest decision is to give this throne to someone I deem more capable to do it.”
“Your grace are you sure? All you've done are marvellous jobs. Look at this great pyramid we are in! It's all due to your efforts.”
“Yes but time and tide waits for no man. Time governs all. Come Osiris. I have much to teach you still. Don't worry I will still be involved in this event. However, it is you who should represent us.”
In the depths of the corridor, lurking deep in the shadows, a trembling hand clenched into the shape of a fist was shaking, undeniably because of anger. Set wanted to be the ruler and he had already proved his bravery, courage and worth.
-Meanwhile 5-
Two hooded figures ran into the building.
“We need to pray and ask for guidance now!”
They chanted a few verses of the Quran and settled into a deep prayer.
“Oh dear Allah, we have heard about the quest. We do not have the power to opposte the other factions. We need your help.”
Suddenly, the floor of the mosque started glowing and suddenly, three figures appeared beside them.
“Allah has heard your sincere prayers. He will personally oversee this event. We are malaks sent to you all to temporarily provide leadership and unite all the disciples of Allah. We will lead you to victory.”
-Meanwhile 6-
“SILENCE!” A voice roared across the hall at the top of Mount Olympus.
Everyone rose to their feet as their king walked past, heading straight for the throne, white hair flowing behind him clutching his favourite weapon, a thunder bolt.
“I trust everyone here has heard about the war. This council is called just for that event. We have so many gods and goddesses at our disposal I'm only concerned about one thing. Victory. Athena will be my chief strategist I'm sure no one will have any arguments about that. Poseidon and Hades will be my generals. I expect no complaints. Everyone can play a part in this event and I will use whoever I deem worthy for the challenges. Don't forget. We have a hero who has completed his twelve labours. We will not lose.”
Roars and cheers can be heard from the massive council. It was in the triple digits. There was little doubt in Zeus's mind that he had the largest firepower of all the factions.
-Meanwhile 7-
“Vishnu! Shiva! My room now.”
“At once Brahma.” they replied.
They gathered in the biggest room of the royal temple.
“I trust that you are aware of the situation. I'm going to retain my right as god and representative of Hinduism. However, this is the chance to overtake Christianity and Islam to be the biggest religion. I'm going to need all your help.”
“I understand my lord. I will activate all my avatars as you need and wish. All you need is ask.” Vishnu added.
“I will destroy anything that opposes your wishes.” Shiva added.
“I know you two will. We will show them the true power of our faction.”
-Back to the most retarded faction of all-
“So how did the date go Wanda?” I asked jokingly.
“It went great! Breadtalk was such a gentleman even though he kinda kidnapped me away but it was pretty fun! He's really well liked here huh.” She replied.
Horse and I had our jaws dropped so low mine could almost reach the floor. Because Horse was slightly shorter than me, she managed to hit the floor with her jaw.
“BREADTALK WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER. HOW MUCH MONEY DID YOU GIVE HER???” Horse shouted as she walked towards Breadtalk.
Reaven and Rogue had also become more familiar with Soup and Beathoven. Reaven was actually quite a crazy guy. The moment he saw the culture of Carnival he just became himself and went around spraying alcohol everywhere especially onto hot girls. Rogue clearly became more relaxed and his eyes instead of being jet black and deadly were now a deep, calm river of nothingness with no hostility detected.
“Alright guys. We've become friendly with each other so now lets move on to the next stage of getting to know each other! We'll go to The Ascension and find out how each of us fights!” Loki announced.
All of us turned abruptly and looked at him. He killed quite a good mood going on.
“What? Don't worry we'll get even closer once we all fight each other.” Loki smiled and led the way.
Looks like we're going to the utmost depths about knowing each other. Nothing like making up after a fist fight to deepen relationships is there?
