Capítulo 114: Chapter 111: Ragnarok sucks!
(Magnus POV)
Nobody moved a single muscle. My friends didn't. The enemies didn't.
Somewhere deep inside we never expected this to happen. We were supposed to stop the bad guys. We were supposed to win. We were the good guys.
But even the enemies were surprised and I even detected fear.
Fenrir stood in the middle of the island, Gleipnir, shredded to pieces, laying useless under his paws.
The wolf grinned, his lips curled up in a cruel smile.
"And now," Fenrir sad with a sick sweet voice, "I'm going to enjoy tearing you'll apart."
The wolf's muscled spanned, and he was ready to leap at me. And this time I was sure he could not be stopped. We had trouble fighting him when he was restrained.
Now he was free.
"Well this is a disappointment." Percy called out, loud enough to be heard by everyone on the island yet it could be just a casual talk.
He stepped closer to the wolf, but casually. He was unarmed and the wolf was supposedly able to kill gods. Yet Percy looked like was just chilling out with his favorite dog.
He raised his hands, as if to say. My apologies and made a slow 360, making sure everyone had his attention.
Percy was only three yards away from the wolf, which was close enough to die within a second.
"What are you doing?" Fenrir snapped and bared his teeth.
Percy turned to Fenrir, "Oh, I'm just disappointed. That's all."
Percy didn't even flinch when he said that. In fact, he sounded so honest I was wondering what the fuck he was doing.
My plan was that Percy should teleport (He can teleport right?) us to Asgard and alarm the gods. Maybe they could handle Fenrir, and we would just watch from the side lines.
But I knew that was not possible, the stories said that once Fenrir got free he would start Ragnarok and end the world.
"I am going to rip your throat out-" Fenrir snared but stopped when Percy let out a dramatic yawn.
Percy noticed Fenrir's furious look and frowned, "You're done?"
"How dare you to yawn!" Fenrir snapped, and he was ready to lunge at Percy's throat.
Percy chuckled, though I could see he had sweat on his face from the tension. "Oh, sorry. It's just so anticlimactic." he turned around and pointed at everyone. "I mean, we have everyone here. And then this." he pointed at the wolf. "Then we have this."
"Are you insulting me?" Fenrir snarled, growing more annoyed every second Percy was talking. I had no idea what he was doing, I just hoped he doesn't make things worse. Assuming things can get worse.
Percy raised his hands, that's when I noticed the weird pose his hands had and I realized he was not just doing nonverbal communication. He was using sign language.
"Rip out my throat?" Percy asked, "Seriously. That's all you are going to do?"
As Percy was saying that he signed, Got Plan crazy.
Singing an entire sentence was probably to hard for Percy to do without getting noticed. I assume he meant, I got a crazy plan.
Or maybe he tried to say, The plan you got was crazy.
I hoped it was the first one and that Percy got a real plan. Not the plan that included killing everyone on the island. Which was a plan he had discussed with me.
If everything went wrong he suggested that he could make the sun crash on the island. Effectively burning everyone on the island to a crisp. Plus making the island descent into the depths of the sea. Could he do that? Percy said he could do it if he went all berserk. But it would kill me.
And everyone else.
I hoped Percy was not talking/gesturing about this plan, and he had a better plan.
I cautiously glanced around to see who else had picked up the signals.
I saw Hearth looking intently at Percy's hands, so did Sam.
Lyssa stared at Percy's eyes. Not moving at all and I suspected they had some kind of psychical connection.
Fenrir was taken aback by Percy's comment. "How dare you. I will tear every muscle of your body."
Percy raised an eyebrow, "And then?"
Fenrir let out a dramatic howl, "I am going to end the world."
Percy rolled his eyes, "You know who I am right?"
Percy pointed at himself and subtly signed, chain "I am Percy Jackson. I held the sky."
Then he pointed quickly at Fenrir, then at me.
No at Jack.
I could interpret this as;
Chain-Fenrir-Jack
Then he pointed at me, "This is Magnus Chase. The first son of Frey who managed to summon the sword of Summer."
He glared at Fenrir who was just watching him cautiously, "And you are just killing us?"
Percy chuckled and I wondered if he went crazy, "You know I am supposed to have a fate worse than death when Ragnarok starts?"
He said it so casual I almost would think he was truly disappointed.
He turned around, "Well this doesn't seem that bad."
"Percy!" Gunilla snapped, "What are you doing?"
Percy totally ignored her, "I mean. Ripped my throat out? That's hilariously quick. You know, Gaia threw me into Tartarus and left me to die there. Polybotes threatened to take me into the sea and torture me. But you are simply going to kill me?"
"Kill him!" Surt yelled from the other side of the battlefield.
"NO!" Fenrir snapped, "He deserves to suffer! He is right."
Fenrir glared at Percy, "I'm going to make you regret coming here?"
Percy looked a bit more scared but managed to hide it. "You know if you really want to humiliate me you should do something original."
I had no idea why Fenrir was still listening to Percy, it was clear Percy was not as terrified as he should've been. Yet Fenrir was listening to Percy like he was the only thing that mattered.
"You know something really humiliating." while he did that he shot a sneaky glance to the ball of string in my hand. But not sneaky enough, Fenrir followed Percy's gaze and saw him staring at the string.
Percy flinched and said, "No!"
Fenrir stayed silent for a moment, looking thoughtful. Then he bared his teeth, "I know it! I'm going to chain you with your own string. And force you to watch the world burn!"
I frowned but stayed silent, I was afraid the moment I said something Fenrir might decided to kill of Percy instead of going along with his train of thought.
Percy gave the wolf a skeptical look. "Hey dummy. You know I have hands right? I could simply free myself. It's not like you can cut of my hand or something."
The wolf smiled cruelly, "That's exactly what I am going to do!"
Percy stumbled back in surprise, "What are you talking about? You can't bite of my hand."
Fenrir grinned, "I wasn't planning too, but now I'm going to do it."
The Greek demigod gulped, fear was written over his face. "There's no way you can just kill me now?"
Fenrir grinned, "No! Now we can do it easy or the hard way. I can do both. I have all the time of the world."
Percy glanced at me and quickly stuck up two fingers. Then he turned to the wolf.
"Could you please count down?" Percy muttered, sounding beaten, "Final request. Just count down before you snap of my hand. Final request."
Fenrir grinned, "This reminds me of how Tyr lost his hand. Well, put it in kid. Meet your horrible fate."
Then his expression softened, just for a little. And I swore that the blue eyes of Fenrir changed from pale blue to acid green for a split-second.
"Fine, you can count down." Fenrir said grudgingly, "A final request should be honored."
Fenrir opened his mouth wide and Percy gulped. Nonetheless
Then it struck me, the story of how Fenrir was chained the first time. Tyr had put his hand in Fenrir's mouth so the other gods could chain him.
Got crazy plan chain Jack Fenrir two.
Percy swallowed and put his right arm into the wolf's mouth.
It was like Percy and Fenrir were the last beings on earth. Everyone was caught in Percy's act.
"Five." Percy croaked.
I was kind of panicking when Percy said that, he expected me to do something but what?
"Four." Percy said, and he glanced at me, I saw he was now really nervous. For real this time.
Then it snapped, I got a crazy plan. Chain Fenrir with Jack.
"Three." Percy said.
...
(Percy POV)
'Your plan is completely crazy.' Lyssa mentally told me, 'You are my favorite demigod. If it wasn't for my mother I would totally go after you.'
"Two." I said and mentally yelled, 'Shield out!'
The watch, currently in Fenrir's mouth, exploded to life and within a second it grew back to its original size.
I heard Fenrir's jaw snap as the shield was way too big for the wolf's mouth. The sharp edge cut straight through palate of Fenrir's mouth.
I commanded the shield to detach itself from my arm and turned jumped away from the wolf.
Within one second a lot of crazy stuff happened.
As I jumped away from Fenrir I aimed my hands at the soil Fenrir was standing on.
The wolf was still too surprised by my sudden escape. It couldn't close his mouth since the shield effectively pulled the wolf's mouth apart and prevented him from biting a certain demigod (me).
But Fenrir had more weapons than his fangs, he also had claws.
The soil underneath Fenrir's paw exploded to life. Green vines exploded to life and wrapped around all four paws.
Fenrir couldn't even jump away, the green vines slithered all over the wolf's body and restrained him, stopped him from moving.
But I was not the only one who jumped into the action, Hearthstone raised his staff. Across the ground at his feet, a rune spread like a shadow.
It looked like an Y with an extra stick in the middle.
'Algiz,' Chaos mussed. 'The rune of shielding.'
A carpet of Heather exploded around the wolf, white flowers rose grew in a circle around Fenrir and effectively redrawing the boundaries of Fenris's prison.
At the same time Magnus threw released Jack from his grip, he had tied the rope around the sword's hilt and threw the sword at Fenrir.
Jack could have flown across the battlefield straight into Surt's hands, but he didn't.
He zipped under the Wolf's belly, threading the cord around his legs. Fenrir couldn't do anything, he couldn't even talk since my shield was still stuck in his mouth. He couldn't move since my vines were wrapped around him. He couldn't even hobble away because the Heather was surrounding him.
Fenrir tried to say something but he couldn't.
Finally, when Jack had tied every part of the wolf except the mouth I commanded the shield to fly back to my hand.
It flew out of his mouth, shattering a few teeth of him along the way. And attached itself to my arm and turned back into a watch.
I silently thanked my sister for her great gift.
Fenrir fell to the ground, unable to do anything except howling in pain. His entire mouth was molested by my shield.
Blood gulped out of his mouth and a few shattered teeth were lying on the ground.
Jack finally zipped around his snout. Jack tied off the rope in an aerial pirouette then floated back to Magnus' hand.
I stared at the wolf, now restrained and badly beaten. Though I suspected the wolf had some kind of super healing, I was sure he would suffer a lot from my attack.
I pulled my gaze away and watched the others who stared at me and Magnus with awe.
The entire world was silent for a second.
Then Gunilla flew towards me, "You did it!"
"PERCY!" Someone yelled behind me and I turned around to see it was Lyssa who yelled. Her eyes were wide and filled with terror.
A brown blur shot towards me, faster than I anticipated and crashed down onto Gunilla I watched in horror as Gunilla was taken by surprise and slammed against the ground. The giant squirrel hovering above her and letting out a horrifying shriek, Gunilla couldn't do a single thing.
She was ripped into parts by the squirrel, a bloody mess of flesh and blood.
I was horrified but couldn't move. I was to scared.
After four seconds the squirrel was done and turned to me. But I was still unable to think straight.
It dashed towards me, I turned around to run before I fell a terrible pain in my back. Ratatosk's claw shred through my back and I yelled in pain.
I fell on my the ground and my vision got blurry.
The pain in my back began to spread but I tried to push it away, trying to push away any emotion I had.
I saw that the battles around me had restarted like nothing had happened, Magnus tried to run toward me but was stopped by Surt. He threw Magnus away with the flat side of the sword.
My friends tried to fight back the giants and Nuckelavee but were still outnumbered.
Lyssa had disappeared, Rebel was trying to reach me but was stopped by a pair of fire giants.
And a few yards away from me lay the corpse of Gunilla. Or whatever was left of her.
Ratatosk landed in front of me and chattered, something I interpreted as a mocking laugh,
I felt my vision darken. I tried to get up, stay awake and unleash Chaos' true power but I couldn't.
'My friends were dying,' I thought. 'One of them is already dead.'
I closed my eyes and decided I would not let anyone else die today.
No one would help me here, not one of the Norse Gods. None of the Greek gods could even come to my aid as I was in Norse territories.
I sighed and prayed.
'Hel, I give up. You can have soul, but please. Save my friends.'
The pain in my back made me faint.
================
A/N So that's the end of the chapter.
So, now Gunilla's dead. I just love killing of Character.
Anyway, Pernilla is out of the window. Unless you want Percy to date a corpse.
Also, in case you wondered how Fenrir fell for this trap. Simple, soulspeak. Percy let Fenrir do what he really wanted. To humiliate him.
Percy just pushed Fenrir in the right direction.
Also, I'm planning the Avengers crossover. If anyone knows a good superhero name for Percy tell me.
