Record of Ragnarok - Buddha Loki side story (Eps 1)
I always wonder about the relationship between Loki and Buddha (I-hate-u-but-I-like-u kind of thing). So here is a fan-made story about their past. Story is based on Record of Ragnarok characters, and NOT characters in popular media.
--------------------------
The story goes when Odin, Beelzebub, and Hermes are planning their coup to defeat Zeus. Buddha is still wounded severely after round 6.
Episode 1: I like you and I hate you
A moment of silence passes.
“Is it time for you to come out already? My friends.” Odin said.
No-one answers.
“If you don’t come out on your own, I am gonna make you do that with force. Now which one?”
To everyone’s surprise, Buddha steps out of the wall. Loki lands on the ground from the ceiling. Both appear almost at the same time. They are pretty surprised by each other’s emergence.
“I should not have come out… Damn.” They thought.
“My my… we have 2 visitors.” Beelzebub smiles.
“So, you overheard our conversation.”
“Yes, and what are you gonna do about it?” Buddha asks.
“Do you think you can come out of here after this?”
“You bet.”
They all stare at each other, watching for their opponents’ next move.
“You guys surely are clever. Even if it’s 3 against 2, as long as a fight breaks out, other Gods will know. And we cannot avoid an investigation.” Hermes said.
“Absolutely. That’s why we can solve this without violence” Loki speaks with excitement.
“By the way, uncle. That’s an awesome plan. How can you not involve me in that.”
“…”
“You guys are not gonna get away with it.” Buddha said, and is in fighting stance.
A tremendous, dark and evil aura covers the whole room. Odin smirks.
“Who is gonna get away?!?”
The dark aura aims at Buddha like a storm.
“Wait, stop it, old man” Loki suspends in the air, right in front of Buddha. The dark aura is neutralized, distilled in the air.
“I am sure we can come up a peaceful solution.”
“…”
“If you’re on his side, you’re our enemy, too.” Hermes said.
Loki lands on the ground, looks back at Buddha.
“Don’t be naive. You will die by the old man hand, before you can make any noise. Your wounds are still fresh. Your left side is completely blind. What is your chance of winning?”
“…”
“But I can cover for that...” Loki smirks. He stands right at Buddha’s left side.
Buddha has doubts about Loki intention, but he has to focus attention on other Gods. They are apparently preparing to launch an all out attacks. Tension increases. The Gods are emitting killing aura, and they would come at any moment.
“Even if it is 2 against 3, we will not lose easily.” Loki said.
He opens portals from his palms, and takes out his weapon. He swings the scythe on the air, preparing for a strike.
“Whoever attacks first have the advantage.”
Right when Loki launches the first attack. His scythe changes direction to Buddha’ blind spot, pierce through his old wound from behind. The Gods are surprised. Buddha’s wound tears open. He coughs up blood. Buddha falls down, staring at Loki while losing consciousness.
“Done. I solved you guys’ problems.”
“…”
The Gods are still stunned at what happened.
“Ok. You may have given us a helping hand. But it seems he’s still alive.” Hermes said.
“Let finish him.”
“Now now… I have made him shut up… He cannot do anything to your plan. Even if he wakes up, everything is done. And…” Loki said. His head looks slightly down.
“HE’S MY PREY! HIS LIFE BELONGS TO ME.” Loki looks up. His face is distorted. Ruthless, bizarre, and monstrous. His aura emits a deathly feeling. It feels like the God of Death has arrived.
“…”
Beelzebub, Hermes are in complete silence. Loki’s deathly aura holds them back.
“Fine. Do whatever you want. With that wound, he won’t recover soon. He can do nothing to affect our plan.” Odin finally speaks.
Loki smiles, waves goodbye to the Gods.
“Only the old man speaks reason.”
Loki opens 2 portals. He and Buddha disappear into another dimension.
In what seems to be an endless space, Buddha is lying on a bed, unconscious. Loki brings medical kits, and treats his wounds. After re-stitching Buddha’s abdomen wound, Loki sits on a chair near Buddha’s bed, staring at him.
“What a silly human.”
Episode ends.
Next episode: the story of 2600 years ago.
