Of Angels and Demons: Ragnarok

The Final Training Session

I quickly speak up. "Ragnarok, send everyone back home. I have to ask you a few questions." I say as Ragnarok nods. Zen quickly speaks up. "I thought we were going to relax for a while? What ha-" everyone except Ragnarok and I vanish from the world we're on. "Now what's on your mind?" She asks with a smile. "Who are the Primordial Paragons?" I ask as I see her ponder my question. "I'm not familiar with any Primordial Paragons, why do you ask?" She replies as I sigh and sit down on a patch of grass a few feet away. "When I fought the fragment of Nemix, I saw 13 people. You, Eclipse, Azoria, and Silvia were the ones I could make out. The other 9 looked like shadows. A voice spoke to me. It mentioned 3 Primordial Paragons." I say as Ragnarok sits beside me. "Did the voice say anything else?" She asks as I shake my head. "It's foggy. My memory seems clouded, it doesn't even feel real." I quickly grab a rock and throw it towards the ocean. The pebble bounces across the water as Ragnarok laughs. "Maybe you just imagined all of that. You'd never used that much energy before, so there is a possibility your soul and mind became frayed for a moment." Ragnarok says as I look at her. "How did I get back to the human world?" I ask as I see her smile vanish. "I don't know. I tracked your energy as you appeared back on earth. You were already in your supressed form upon arrival." I quickly stand up. "Doesn't that mean someone sent me back!?" I shout as she stands up. "Possibly, but I sensed no being with any immense power besides that fragment of Nemix." She looks at me with a concerned look. I close my eyes and sigh. Eclipse, do you know what happened? I ask as I hear her sigh. "I don't, one second we're fighting together. The next I see what you see, all of your friends around you. I didn't even see the 13 beings thing that you did." Eclipse says as I open my eyes and pop my neck. I enter my base non-supressed form and take a deep breath. I reach down to grab a pebble but it's destroyed as I get near it. Ragnarok laughs. "Before you ask, yes, we are on a stronger planet. Had to or else this planet would be long destroyed during those fights you had a little bit ago." Ragnarok says as I nod. "I can understand that." We both stand in silence for several minutes. "Kai, are you sure you want to actually fight against ever greater being?" Ragnarok asks as I look at her. "I will protect everyone, no matter the personal price." I reply as Ragnarok smiles. She jumps on my back and wraps her arms around me. "This will be so much fun!" She exclaims as I teleport behind her. "No reason to act weird." She smiles and pops her neck. "So, when do you want to start your full training?" She asks as I raise one eyebrow and tilt my head slightly. "Real training? Has what we've been doing not been considered real training?" I ask as she laughs. "That was just to prepare you, we have 20 years to train. Give or take a few." She says as I laugh. "Don't you think I'll be ready to fight off all of the Chief Deities and Manifestations by then? Hell, don't you think I could become strong enough to fight them here soon?" I ask as Ragnarok falls back and laughs hysterically. "That's a good joke!" She yells while laughing. "I'm seriou-" Before I can finish my thought a ripping pain flows through me. As I look down I see both my arms are gone and my torso is ripped away from the lower half of my body. I see I'm hundreds of feet off of the ground. I quickly enter my 1st release and heal instantly. Clothes form around me as I heal. As I teleport to the ground I look where I was just standing, legs still upright. "I didn't want you being indecent, so I summoned some clothes for you." Ragnarok says as I stay silent. "You've been going easy on me, haven't you?" I ask as she laughs hysterically. "Quite a lot actually. I haven't fought in my serious 1st release yet. You are equal to me in my base form going all out, which is still more than I fought with the first time you met me." She says as I look at her. "You gave me a lot of energy, why couldn't you give me more? Make me as strong as you are?" I ask as she laughs. "I already explained, your soul and mind wouldn't be able to handle to sudden strain. But we won't just be working on your total energy. You have a lot to learn before you can have a full on death fight with all Chief Deities and Manifestations." She says as I nod and clench my fist. "Alright, then let's begin." I hastily enter a fighting stance. "Woah, no need to rush. You won't be seeing your friends for a while. You may want to say farwell for a bit. Ragnarok says as I close my eyes. "You're right, bring them here." I say as she laughs and looks to her right. All of my friends appear before me. "They aren't really here, but they'll hear whatever you say in the mind wherever they are." Ragnarok says as I nod. "To everyone I care for. We've had quite a few fun times, but we've also had bad times. We've lost people, friends, family. No more. I promise you all, I will protect this world when the time comes. I will sacrifice myself for all of you. Before you all came into my life, I was alone. I don't want anyone to know that feeling. I will protect all races. Humans, Angels, and Demons. Kai Narukami gives his word, you will be safe." I say as I see everyone looking around. I see Zen and a few others smiling widely. As they vanish I look back to Ragnarok. "Alright, you have 20 years to shape me into the defender of all life. Think you can do it?" I ask with a smile. "I believe so. Let's get started."
