Round 4: Hero vs Villain
" sis! I'm so glad humanity finally won a round" said Goll " I wonder which monster is going to go on next" she notice Hermes and Brunhilde talking to each other down the hallway near the door way. As Goll approach closer, Hermes saw her and smiled as he bowed to Brunhilde and left. " hey sis what was that about?"
" oh nothing, let's just keep walking" said Brunhilde.
Goll and Brunhilde walked down the halls as they notice a figure a few couple of feet in front of them.
" that monster would be me" said the voice.
Goll saw the person as she gasped and she ran towards him as she fist bumped him.
" Big brother Hercules!" shouted Goll as both of them smiled.
Hercules is a tall muscular man with long spiky orange hair, he wears a leather brown shoulder pad on his right side with some straps, no shirt but a golden arm band on his left bicep. He wears a brown belt with a golden shaped lion in the middle of the buckle with light brown fur as pants. He wears several brown leather straps on his right leg and brown leather slippers as he carried an ivory white mallet in the shape of a lion. He also has deep orange tattoos on his right side of his arm going up to his right chest.
" hello Goll, sister Brunhilde" said Hercules.
" it's nice to meet you brother" said Brunhilde " your going next?"
" yes I am, wish me luck" said Hercules.
" see you soon brother" said Brunhilde.
" you too" said Hercules as he hugged Goll one last time before he walked away.
Goll and Brunhilde walked to the study room.
" so who's going to fight big brother Hercules?" asked Goll. Brunhilde's face turned grim.
" .... someone who I absolutely loathed and I refuse to mention their name..." said Brunhilde with her expression still being grim.
" huh?" said Goll who was confused.
With Hercules, he was walking up the stairs when he noticed Loki floating next to him.
" hello Loki, are you here to wish me luck?" asked Hercules.
" not really but... are you willing to kill a human? Besides you were a human once too but now your a God so it seems to be quite conflicting right?" asked Loki.
" I'll talk to Zeus about this and talk to my opponent and see if they agree or not"
" and if not?"
" I'll try to convince them" said Hercules as he walked up the stairs.
Back at the arena, everyone was excited for the next fight. Suddenly, the arena changed into the 90's London with the buildings, apartment, london bridge as well as the Big Ben being there with the walls blocking the view from the audience as screens pop up showing the inside of the arena with one wooden door on each side for the two opponents to come in as the sky is dark indicating it is night time.
" in this round, one of the opponents requested to have this setting" said Heimdall as he is sitting on a swing that is carried by some birds. Smoke appeared on the humans side door as a figure walked in. " on the humans side, this seems to be a surprise since humanity seems desperate to win this round! This person caused terror during the 90's in London terrorizing everyone around the city. Killing 5 prostitutes' leaving a bloody trail, yes for those who know who this person is will know the crimes that has been done!"
The figure slowly walked as the figure was wearing a maroon colour top hat with three white feathers with the lace being dull purple and some golden ornaments keeping the feathers in place. The figure has long grey hair reaching up to the hip. The face is covered with a white mask that has black shaped eyes as well as red lips (imagine Calendar girl's mask from Batman). The person, who the audience can see from the screens, is female was wearing a long sleeve white blouse with a golden bolo tie as well as a dull grey vest under the dull grey blazer as she wore black gloves. She wears a deep red satchel on her hips with a long dark purple maroon coloured skirt going up to her ankles. She wears long black heeled boots with some yellow lining as well as a long maroon coloured cape with some golden details.
" I'm pretty sure you know the person well since this person made history! The person is none other then..." said Heimdall as the figure removed her mask revealing her face. The person's face seems to be in her late 20s and early 30s with her left eye coloured dull grey blue while the other is covered by her golden monocle as her lips have a pale purple shade of lipstick. " Jack the Ripper!" ' what is up with the contestants on the humanity side being female'.
' my real names Jill but I don't mind the name Jack, really keeps my identity a true secret' thought Jill.
" and representing the Gods, you know he is the hero, the one who saved his village and did all 12 labors and the person who trained and formally was a human but became a God and proved himself worthy" said Heimdall as a carriage charged in with Hercules on it as it stopped at the center of the arena. " yes it is your favorite hero, Hercules!"
Hercules stepped out of the carriage as he approached Jill a few meters away from her. He wore an angry expression as he glared at Jill as Jill simply gave him a neutral smile as she stared at him.
' what the hell?! Why is this serial killer allowed on this arena?! Lu Bu, Adam and Sasaki were honorable fighters! What the hell is going on?! I don't care if my opponent is a women, damn you Brunhilde!' cursed Hercules internally.
From the stand, Goll was shocked that the most notorious serial killer will be facing off Hercules.
" Sis why is she in there?! Why is she fighting him?!" said Goll worried that the killer will actually kill Hercules.
' I never wanted to put her in but... she might be the best shot we have. I'm so sorry brother Hercules' thought Brunhilde, she didn't expect Jack the Ripper to be a women but because of the stakes here, she has no choice for the sake of humanity.
" It really is like a fight between good vs evil, heroes vs villains! fighters ready?! Fight!" shouted Heimdall.
" I have no idea who to root here anyway" said an audience member.
" yeah I mean, Hercules may be a God but he is a hero and Jack may be a human but she is a serial killer" said another audience member.
" kill her Hercules!" shouted a child's voice from the Gods side.
" don't hold back!" shouted another voice from the Gods side.
" all the cases I have solved, Jack the Ripper's case is the only case I have never solved" said a voice. The audience recognize him as the most famous detective in the 90's.
Back in the arena, Hercules looked at her with unease as Jill remained calm still smiling at Hercules.
" look, we don't have to do this, if you surrender I'll talk to Zeus and see if we can sort this out. I don't want to harm a women" said Hercules trying to talk some sense to Jill.
" *chuckles* my my, what a nice gentlemen you are" said Jill in her british accent " but I don't think I can surrender now since the fun hasn't even started yet, so I politely must decline your offer"
" fine if that's what you want" said Hercules as he grunted.
" before we begin, let me introduce you to my Volundr" said Jill as she took out two pairs of blades and assembled them together which looks like huge pairs of scissors " this is my Volundr" she swung the weapon towards a light pole as it got sliced in half leaving the audience shocked.
" wow a pair of scissors as a Volundr? That's crazy" said the audience member.
" seems fitting for a serial killer like her even if she is a women" said another voice.
" alright then, let's begin, I won't be holding back even if you are a women, don't tell me I didn't warn you" said Hercules as he showed a fighting stand.
Jill grinned showing her teeth as she looked like she was ready to fight him before she turned heel and ran away in the opposite direction with her black heeled boots clicking as she turned to the left corner down the ally way as Hercules stood there dumbfounded.
" hey wait!" he shouted as he followed her to the ally way.
He saw her sitting outside of a café as she is sat on a white chair by the table with a white teapot and a white tea cup in hand.
" why did you run away?" he asked.
" it's nearly tea time" said Jill as she showed her golden pocket watch. " you know it is rude to not have tea on time right? Even if it is a fight, I refuse to skip tea time, it's relaxing anyway. Care for a drink?" she held another cup with her tea pot.
" enough with the games!" said Hercules.
Hercules stepped forward before his forehead suddenly touched an invisible wire. His eyes widen and he stepped back as he saw that several knifes were aiming at him. He quickly used his lion mallet as he destroyed all the knifes before approaching her.
" didn't Brunhilde tell you? Those weapons are useless against a God like me. You need to use a divine weapon to kill a divine being" said Hercules.
Jill took a sip of her tea before setting it down as she looked at him and shrugged.
" can't blame a women like me for trying" said Jill.
" begone!" said Hercules as he raised his mallet ready to hit Jill.
" with pleasure" said Jill. She took out her grappling hook gun as she fired to the building, getting some distance between them before she took out the large pair of scissors as she threw it at Hercules.
Hercules braced himself as he used the mallet and destroyed the scissors.
" It seems like Hercules have destroyed Jack's Volundr! What can she do now since she doesn't have a divine weapon?!" said Heimdall as everyone in the audience gasped.
" listen, I'm asking you once again, surrender now and we can talk about this, you don't have anything to protect you now" said Hercules. He internally begged Jill to stand down and say yes. He would be lying if he said that Jill wasn't pretty even if she is a serial killer with her long silver hair and endearing eyes as well as the mysterious aura around her " it doesn't have to be like this Jack"
" heh..." said Jill as she stood near the building, she jumped and it seems like she is floating before they saw the wires being attached as she is standing on it making the audience feel in awe and shock " my actual name is Jill but if you want to call me Jack or Jaq with a 'q' at the end that it is fine by me, and once again hero, I politely reject your offer"
Jill doesn't want to back down now since she has everything prepared for this fight. She'd have to admit, Hercules seems like a nice guy even if she was supposed to kill him and she does think he is quite handsome.
" you don't have a Volundr and your now defenseless, there's nothing you can do" said Hercules worried about Jill's safety since he didn't want to kill her.
" the thing is, I lied. That pair of scissors isn't my Volundr" said Jill as she took out several knifes for her satchel bag that is connected together by the same wire string. She then threw it at Hercules. He didn't dodge the attack thinking it was safe however, the knifes pierced is skin as he bleed out.
" he's bleeding!" shouted a child's voice from the Gods side.
" that human deceived him! What a filthy liar she is!" shouted another child's voice.
" w-what? How is this possible?" said Hercules as he spit out blood confused as to what happened.
" you see, that scissors as I said isn't my Volundr, this satchel is" Jill showed her dark red satchel " whatever things I put in this satchel can become my Volundr. However, the only weakness it has is that only a certain size can fit in this satchel bag of mine" said Jill as she smirked at him as she jumped down from the strings.
Hercules slowly took out the knifes from his body as he started bleeding out. He used his mallet as it changed to the lion.
" you know for a women, you really are despicable since you lied" said Hercules.
" considering the fact that your trying to kill me, I use what I've got to survive" said Jill.
" first labor, Nemean Lion!" said Hercules as his tattoos covered half of his body and blue flames came out of his lion shaped mallet.
Jill started throwing knives at him as he started hitting the knives. Some of the knives grazed his skin as scars appeared and he started to bleed. Hercules slowly walked towards Jill as he used the mallet and raised it at Jill as he was about to hit her. Jill quickly took out her maroon coloured umbrella as she opened it and rotate it anti clock wards as Hercules hit the umbrella as his mallet fell to the side. Jill stopped spinning her umbrella as she jumped up and stood on one of her strings attached to the buildings up in the air a few feet off the ground.
" it's a good thing I have my umbrella with me or else I would be in big trouble" said Jill. She took out some knives as she threw it up where the back of the knives hit the wire as it shoot down to Hercules.
He used his mallet as he kept on hitting the knives away from him.
" hey he has more tattoos now" said Loki.
" yes he does. The tattoos may look nice but it is absolutely painful that not even divine beings can handle" said Hermes.
" what happens if his body is covered in those tattoos?"
" he will die" said Hermes.
" he won't since he will win this fight" said Ares " I'm glad to have met him since he is one of the most strongest warrior I have met. Common Hercules, win for us Gods!"
" it seems like those tattoos are going to cover his body anyway" said Loki.
Jill kept on throwing knives at Hercules as he kept on hitting the knives away. He jumped to her level in the air as she quickly took out her umbrella but Hercules hit her with his mallet as her umbrella provided her some protection but she flew back as she hit the brick wall several meters behind her with bricks cracking and falling apart as Jill sat there with her head down.
Hercules slowly walked to her as Jill slowly got up regaining her composure.
Jill looked at her right arm as she noticed her arm has dislocated from her shoulder as she used her left arm to hit the other to place it back as the audience stood there shocked.
" no way!" said one of the audience.
" she's able to adjust her arm back together!"
" no surprise since she is a serial killer anyway"
" *cough* I have to say young man, that was quite the hit" said Jill as she got up. " now then..." she took out several large knife panels as she assembles them together as it looks like a fan boomerang. " let's start Act 2 together shall we?" said Jill. She threw the fan towards him as he dodged it effortlessly. " London bridge is falling down... falling down... falling down... London bridge is falling down, my fair lady" Jill sang the song as the audience felt a chill down their spine.
She rushed towards him throwing knives at him as he started hitting the knives as some grazed his skin.
The boomerang flew back as Hercules jumped up avoiding it as Jill caught the blades.
" you have several tricks up your sleeve Jill, but that won't work on me!" said Hercules as he charged at her. ' I have to admit, she has strategy and she's smart, but considering her appearance unlike Lu Bu, Adam and Sasaki, she doesn't seem to have much muscles nor strength so that's why she's using her tactic strategy, she's using her brain as a weapon against me'
Jill quickly threw the blades at him as she used her grappling hook gun as she flew up towards Big Ben before Hercules caught up to her and damaged her gun as she fell and grabbed onto the edge.
' shit!' thought Jill. She quickly climbed up as Hercules started hit the large building as it fell down only stopping when it hit another building as Jill hanged onto the one of the clock hands.
" I'll ask again, surrender now and you won't get hurt. I promise" said Hercules as he once again wants Jill to stand down. He didn't want to hurt her still since he knows that Jill unlike the other previous fighters, she doesn't look nor seem physically strong even comparing her to Lu Bu and Sasaki who are women, Jill doesn't possess the physical appearance of neither of them.
" that's a nice offer and I'm glad your a man of your own words and I'm deeply flattered that you care about me but... again I must decline!" said Jill as she hanged onto the side of the clock as it fell and she grabbed it and threw it at Hercules.
" don't you know that only a divine weapon can kill a God?! Have you learn nothing!?" said Hercules as he put up his left arm to shield him from the clock.
But what he didn't expect is that the clock cut his arm as it bleed out as everyone in the audience gasped.
" she's able hurt him!"
" how is that possible?!"
" didn't she say that her Volundr is the one in her bag?"
" how is this possible? How was that women able to hurt him?" said Ares confused since he did hear that her Volundr is the satchel.
" I see now" said Loki.
" wait what? What is her Volundr?" said Ares.
" you see, her Volundr is something special. It's those gloves of hers" said Loki as he pointed at her black gloves.
Hercules took off his leather shoulder pad as he used the belt to tie it at his now cut arm to stop the bleeding.
" didn't you say that your Volundr is the ones in your bag?" said Hercules as he stared at Jill with her simply smiling at him.
" yes about that, I lied again. You see, these are my Volundr" said Jill as she lifted her gloved hands up. " you see, these gloves are very comfortable, nothing like a nice tailor made glove. Let me demonstrate for you" she picked up a small stone as she flicked it towards Hercules as it missed him by an inch and due to it being turned into a divine weapon, the force made an impact which created a huge hole behind Hercules at the building brick wall. " whatever I touch with these gloves, it'll turn them into a divine weapon as you can see from the stone I just threw, so considering I touched all of the buildings in this arena, well I'm pretty sure you can piece it all together now"
The audience now gasped as they realized that Jill turned the whole arena which is the London city into a divine weapon.
" No way! She turned it all into a weapon!" said Goll who was shocked and is worried about Hercules safety.
" now then... let's dance hero" said Jill as she took out several knives from her satchel as she grinned menacingly.
Well this took longer then I thought. I was excited writing Jack's (or Jill in this story case) character in this since I have several ideas for the design of the character as well as how the fight evolves. Next chapter will be both of their backstories as well as the Volundr and the end of the fight. Again, I think I'm just gonna make this into 2 chapters so stay tune. See you all soon, bye!
