(uncanon) Round 1 chapter 1

Note: this chapter is now longer "canon" to the story as I'm redoing it and continuing the story to be better

Narrator: The seven-million-year history
of mankind is about to end. It is not due to a nuclear war or an invasion by an alien race, or even a collision with an asteroid. Mankind now faces its extinction, its end, at the hands of none other than the creators of mankind themselves, the gods!

Lucas: The time has come, my brother, Eddie

[THE COUNCIL OF VALHALLA, COUNCIL HALL]

Zeus: Now then, everyone, 1,000 years have
already passed since the last session. Let us commence our meeting. The Council on the Fate of Mankind attended by all the gods of the world. The question is... Do we allow mankind to continue to exist for the next 1,000 years... or do we bring their existence to an end? Gods and goddesses, make your opinions known.

Shiva: Here's what I think. They should be wiped out. I've watched them these last 1,000 years, but they have zero intention of reforming. Let's demolish the whole lot of them.

Aphrodite: Yes, you are quite right, Shiva. These past 1,000 years, the world has become increasingly unpleasant. The oceans are filled with trash and oil, the forests are dying out, and creatures continue to go extinct. You could even say mankind itself is a calamity that is annihilating all living things
on the face of the earth.

The gods began discussing amongst each other

Aphrodite is right!

Mankind should be exterminated!

Those scum are a pestilence!

I'm weary of leading them.

I couldn't agree more!

Zeus: Well, it seems we've come to a decision. By unanimous vote, The Council on the Fate of Mankind
has decided to end...

Me: Wait!

The gods where shocked

What?

Who was that?

Well, if it isn't those half breed brothers.

It's a halfbreed!

What are you thinking, Eddie?

You can't stop the gods
from concluding a decision!

Me: With all due respect, gods and goddesses, I have an objection.

The gods were annoyed

Stay out of this, halfbreed!

Stay out of this, Eddie!

Odin: You stupid half-breed god! This is a matter for the gods,
so butt out!

The crows stop his shoulders chimed in

You want to fight? Then bring it on!

Admittedly, mankind's tyranny
and atrocities are egregious.

How dare you ignore me!

Me: However, simply eliminating them
would be too crude

Zeus: I see

Me: How about this? To determine whether it is worth allowing mankind to exist for another 1,000 years, demonstrate the mercy and power of the gods by testing mankind. Test them?

The crows chimes in again

Do you want to flood the earth again?

Or hasten the ice age and freeze them?
