Record of Ragnarok Redone

A Win, But At What Cost?

Hera and Milunka charged towards each other, Hera unleashing punch after punch, Milunka blocking and parrying the attacks.

Hera: Meteor Jab!

Hera unleashed a barrage of punches akin to a meteor shower, Milunka responded by blocking the barrage the best she could.

Milunka then stabbed her flagpole into Hera's shoulder, pushing her back and taking a low stance.

Milunka: Iron Pride!

Milunka spun her flagpole around, building up speed, the flagpole spun faster and faster as Milunka dodged every attack thrown at her.

Milunka then slashed at Hera, who tried to dodge in response, but she wasn't fast enough and had both eyes slashed, having her sight taken away.

Milunka: Artillery Barrage!

Milunka thrusted the sharp end of her flagpole at Hera in a rapid circular motion, blood was flying all over the place as she did.

Despite the pain that coursed through her body, Hera didn't scream, she put both arms in a cross formation to block the incoming attacks.

Greek God VIP Lounge

The gods were surprised that Hera was on the defensive, none of them, even Zeus himself, had never seen her on the defensive before.

The gods were yelling for Hera to protect herself, to get away from the battle, Aphrodite was crying while covering her mouth with her hands.

Aphrodite: mom, no, please, surrender, I don't want to lose you.

Hephaestus, Hermes, and Ares were all shocked, their eyes wide with surprise as they watch the endless onslaught on their mother.

Ares: no, how could mother still be standing after that much pressure from that human?!

Hermes: mother, no, this can't be happening!

Hephaestus: Human! Please! Stop!

All of Hera's children were begging, pleading, and hoping for Hera to survive, for Hera to stop, to surrender, all they could do was hope and plead for their mother's life.

Arena

Not just Hera's children were begging for Milunka to stop, but all of the lesser gods in the stands as well, her speech about why she is participating touched their hearts, so the thought of Hera dying would break the heart of anyone, no matter who they were.

The Valkyrie sisters were watching everything go down, Goll was also begging for Milunka to stop, though she wasn't her child, Hera was still a mother figure to Goll.

Brunhilde was in the same boat, but this was something that had to happen in order for humanity to win Ragnarok.

The side of humanity was cheering Milunka on, screaming her name as she bombarded Hera with her never ending attack.

Leon: GO MILUNKA! TAKE OUR FIRST WIN FOR HUMANITY!

Emil: COME ON MILUNKA! ALMOST THERE!

The entire arena was screaming, but to Hera, the only thing she heard, was a crying baby, the sound of the baby's cries were the only thing on Hera's mind.

Hera's thoughts: oh, there's a baby crying.

Hera's life flashed before her eyes, the first time Ares asked her to help him with his hair, the time that Hermes asked her how to tie a tie, every time Aphrodite asked her to braid her hair, the time that Hera would sing lullabies to Athena to help her sleep, and when Hera gave it her all to Hephaestus back from the attackers.
