...Ragnarok!...

...The war that people know will end the lives of gods and the end of their reign. The end of all goodness and the beginning of what humans might call a normal life. But this name gets another meaning when it uses to start a war or destroy something. Gods killed hundreds of humans to make them think twice about what they have done in the last years; earthquakes, tornados, eruptions, and all the other catastrophes were caused by the gods....

...****************...

...In the meeting hall...

Gods: Why Zeus called all of us here? He should know what all gods will vote for.

Another God: Maybe he just wants to see if there would be someone who will betray the gods.

Heimdall & Hermes: All of you please be silent for a minute and listen to what our ruler has to say. Please welcome Zeus!

Zeus: This is something new, to see all of you gather in the same spot. As you know we have protected the earth and humans for a long time. We even protect them from themselves, but what they have been doing for the last decades made us show them what we are capable of.

Gods: This is right! They don't deserve forgiveness now!

Zeus: I and the other pantheon leaders decided that we need to eradicate humanity. This is the only solution that we have right now!

...****************...

Some clapping where heard coming from the back.

...****************...

Buddha:So this is your decision! But I don't understand if is because they are dangerous or because you are afraid that humans will no longer be with you. Zeus!

Zeus: Buddha, you better have a reason for questioning my decision.

Buddha: A reason? Humanity is the thing for what we are here. If you want to kill them, then why do we need to live?

Zeus: You can't destroy the vote we are taking.

Buddha: I want to give humanity a chance. Even if this means beginning a war against the gods.

Zeus: I am sorry, but you are a single god against the rest of us.

Prometheus: I don't think he is single in this thing. I feel the same!

Ares: Prometheus!

Zeus: This doesn't change anything.

Krishna: Then let me join this game too. This looks like fun. And at least humanity will have a chance of winning.

Sun Wukong: This doesn't seem to look good for us Zeus!

Zeus: This is something that I wouldn't expect from someone like you. But I am sad to announce that we can't have the duel because you are missing a person.

Achilles: I was hoping not to come here, after all, I am not even a god.

Zeus: Achilles! Why?

Achilles: I am half human and half, god, why do you think? I don't hate humanity and for sure I have gods who think that is stronger than any other being.

Zeus: So you four will oppose us! Then we will have a tournament to see if humanity will be eradicated or not. There will be four rounds of ten fighters, to win even the gods and humans need to win two rounds in a row.

Buddha: We will accept this!

Zeus: And of course, you four can't participate in any of the rounds. You can't even choose your warriors yourselves, you will need someone who will represent you.

Buddha: As I said we accept these terms and we will destroy, you just in two rounds as you said.

...Somewhere at a hidden temple....

...****************...

Buddha: You made yourself like home here as I see, Wu!

Wu: What the hell do you want? God!
