Janus saw Satchel fly into the whirlwind of blades that was Odin's attack... And time stopped, just for an instant...

In Janus' mind, strange images formed. He remembered a man, taller than him, handing him something. He remembered being on the ground, beaten, defeated, and alone...

???: "Janus, before you go, there is one last thing I must give you."

Janus: "A bag? Do you want to mock me before I die?"

The tall man dropped the duffel bag onto his prostrate body...

???: "Janus, this is your life. Do not lose this bag. It holds within it far more than just material objects. Do not let it get destroyed, for the contents of the bag are, especially to you, vitally important. So long as you have this bag, you will never lose your way, ever."

Janus: "How can a bag do that?"

???: "It is not the bag, so much as yourself. This device will help you to unleash your power. Remember, you are the one who will bring the Grey Dawn. You will need to be strong."

Janus: "Grey Dawn?"

???: "You will understand in time. There will come a day when you are able to realize your potential. That will be the day of the Grey Dawn."

Janus: "Why are you telling me all of this? Why not just kill me now, while I can't fight back?"

???: "I keep my friends close, and my enemies even closer, Janus."

Janus: "You could kill me any time you wanted to..."

???: "But I won't. You're far too weak now. Realize your potential, then come back to me when you're ready to rise to a real challenge. Maybe you'll save the world. Maybe you'll play the hero. It's doubtful, but you're young. Now go. Get out of my sight, and don't come back until you're sure I won't be able to kill you."

The memory faded away, and Janus' attention was turned back to the present, as his entire mind was filled with just one thing...

Satchel (telepathy): 'Janus, stop him!'

A surge of adrenaline ran through Janus' body. The first natural reaction he had experienced in five hundred millenia. It was almost euphoric, the sudden influx of energy that ran through his blood. At that moment, the absolute and complete need for Satchel's safety was vital enough to his survival to actually trigger a human reaction in him. So long, almost since he first stepped through the barriers of space and time.

Janus' eyes opened wide. The bag grew ever closer to the whirlwind, and Janus felt a sense of newness within him, a revival of sorts. How fast would he really be able to move? Definitely not fast enough. He only had about a second before Satchel hit Odin's whirlwind at this point. He wouldn't be too worried overall, if he weren't so afraid of Odin's sword having enough magic in it to actually cut through Satchel's cloth. But still...


Janus dropped to the ground, digging his fist into it. The instant his fist hit the ground, archaic symbols burst outward from it, and with a mighty shout Janus sent a ripple of earth in a circular pattern outward from himself, hoping beyond all reason that it would be enough to disrupt Odin's whirlwind!

"What the!?"

Odin could see both the bag and the earth ripple getting closer to him, breaking Janus's weapon at the price of his arm wouldn't be all that great right now.

"Damn you!"

Odin suddenly stopped spinning, knowing that if he kept his spin up, he would have been able to deflect the attack, but the resulting vibrations would probably snap his arm in two. He only had a split second to act, but he knew what to do. He jumped forward, in a flip, placing his arm on the rippling earth, the bag flew behind him, unless it could home in fast enough, and Odin flipped at Janus, trying to come down with a hard slash. The slash wasn't as powerful as usual as most of his energy was used to balance on the ripple.

A quick roll to the side, and Janus would have been back on his feet, Satchel in his hands. It didn't really work that way.

Instead, he suffered a rather cutting blow to his shoulder, and came out of it backflipping, only to leap forward and over Odin's head to where Satchel was. He scooped up the bag with his good arm, and tested his bad one.

Wounded, but not useless...

Facing Odin, a shriek of lightning erupted around Janus' body, and moved into his hammer, charging it up!


"Take this! Thunder Raid!!!"

Drawing a rather basic technique from Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, Janus hurled his hammer, packed to the brim with electricity, at Odin's precarious balancing act!

"!?!?"

Odin was caught completely off guard and the hammer hit him right in the back, electrifing him and throwing him off balance. He landed on the ground in a heap, but jumped up quickly.

"You took a blow to deal one to me... You aren't going to win like that if you hoped I had low defence."

Odin stepped forward, pointing his sword at Janus's feet. A beam shot out of the sword and went in very fast.

"Sword of Destruction."

As soon as the beam hit, the ground that is, it exploded outwards, resulting in a hole in the ground where it had hit, and flying debris everywhere else.

And Janus takes to the air again...

Janus: "Not necessarily low defense..."

The beam hits the ground, and the force of the debris propels Janus into the air! With a motion of his wrist, Satchel zooms back to his hand, and Janus moves above Odin, the downward section of his parabolic flight path taking him directly above Odin. The advantage? He can slam his hammer right down at Odin as he lands...

"Lets see how strong you are!"

Odin reached up and blocked the hammer with his hand! He barely budged under the strike, but the ground underneath him broke apart below him. He somehow managed to keep his balance and kept hold of the hammer. Odin's arm was under extreme stress, but he knew he could keep hold of the hammer if the strike was magnified by two.

"I'm disappointed, I thuoght you would be able to at least numb my hand."

Odin pulled the hammer down, trying to bring Janus to the ground, but as Odin swung down, he threw his knee upward, trying to smash his head against his knee.

Force matches counterforce as Janus tries to use his whirlwind technique while Odin's dragging him down. It'll be interesting, indeed, to see what happens when Janus attempts to whirl into a tornado while Odin's holding the hammer.

Odin could feel that his arm was about to break as he held onto the hammer and stopped everything from spinning. He knew he couldn't hold it through and instead matched it.

"Dragon Rush!"

Odin started spining holding his sword out, matching the hammer, except, the sword had a point and the hammer didn't.

And the two weapons locked! Janus raised an eyebrow and grinned, having landed on his feet and caught the sword in the crook of his hammer. The metal handle was clenched tightly in both of his hands as he held fast against Odin's counterattack. More witty banter? With his meager strength, he certainly couldn't attack without getting a sword sandwich, so why not...

"Now then, let's talk. You're very powerful, probably every bit as powerful as me. You've been taught by some of the strongest warriors in the universe. I'll get straight to the point. I need guys like you."

His grip began to falter ever so slightly. Janus had to talk fast, or move fast, and he still ahdn't though of an escape from this yet...

"I scratch your back, you scratch mine. If there's anything I can do to get your help, just say the word."

An opening occured to him, but he wasn't ready for it yet. He slid the crook of his hammer ever so slightly closer to the hilt of Odin's sword.

"What do you say?"

Perfect positioning. Janus kicked his feet out beneath him, released Odin's sword, and somersaulted backwards a few times, springing to his feet and sending Odin back into his spin. When Odin stopped, he would see Janus standing lithely before him, holding his hammer straight outward.

"It's an offer..."

Odin knew Janus spoke the truth, it was a sense he somehow picked up during his travels.

"Yes, there is one thing. I know you have been holding back, unleash your full power and I'll help."

Odin held his sword losely at his side, waiting for a responce in either power, or words.


"So, Odin is still letting everyone he fights use their full strength against him. To bad, he won't have the same liberty when I fight him."

Fenrir loaded his gun, and aimed it down at Grey, but didn't fire it.

"Just to stop interference, he tries anything, and a bullet will end his life. You better hope that he doesn't try anything Janus, because I don't need to obey the rules."

Janus: "Bad move."

There was no split second between Janus' movement and his location behind Fenrir. He was just.... there.

"You're currently holding a gun to the head of the most powerful weapon in the world. If you fire, and he dies, we all die too. You sure you want to do that? Are you?"

Another instant and Janus was in front of Fenrir, gazing into his eyes with a piercing blue light.

"I'm not too worried about death, to me it's an adventure that I have no ability to travel alone. But you, you're young and mortal."

Janus gently grabbed the muzzle of Fenrir's gun and brought it upward, pointing it at his own head.

"And furthermore, I don't even know who you are. I'm about to be shot in the head by someone I have no clue about at all. I'm certainly not going to let him shoot Grey, anyway. Not if I don't know who he is."

"Damnit Fenrir, how did you find me so quickly, you shouldn't be around here."


"So thats why your protecting him."

Fenrir said it blunty and then aimed his gun upwards, fired and a blinding light exploded from the gun. 3 more shots were fired and then nothing. Fenrir had left in a flash of light of light.


Odin knew he was going to be shot at and had enough time to move out of the way before he became injured.

"Damnit Fenrir. You were never going to kill that detective, you were just trying to get a cheap shot at me. Still won't kill anything without a bounty..."

Odin looked up at Janus, he'd heard the entire conversation, but what impressed him is that he had been so fast.

"I knew you were holding back. Unleash your full power against me, I want to beat you at your best!"

Janus: "Then you'll be sadly disappointed!"

Blue radiance eminated from Janus' body as he held Satchel firmly in both hands, making slight swaying motions every few seconds.

Then, he was off! Janus dashed toward Odin, only to hop over his head and lash out with three horizontal swipes as he landed behind him. The difficulty was in tracking him with one's eyes--- he was moving fast enough to look like nothing but a blur... to normal people, anyway. Odin seemed like the type to follow through.


"Now who was that?"

Odin spun forward, turning around right as Janus was about to strike him. Odin blocked each attack with his sword, letting the hammer hit the side of the blade.

"Thats the key evil of this world, or at least the evil with the most power. He'll be the one that kills me and many others in a final battle. He won't win though, he'll die to, theirs no stopping fate."

Odin lashed out at Janus, trying to strike him as many times as he could.

"Many people will die and history will remember the day forever. Ragnarok will kill over half the worlds heroes it it is mild. Now fight me at your true power, you are holding back!"

Bringing his hammer to bear with Odin's blade, the two fenced and sparred as Janus spoke...

"Yeah, its happened before, its going to happen again, and again, a continous cycle, but this time its different. This is the break in the cycle, technology has become to strong, enemies have become weak. This time the world will either become a heaven, a hell, or not change at all, but everyone will remember it."

Odin put more power into his sword, trying to get to Janus.

Janus: "I see..."

He backflipped away from Odin's powerful slash, and landed on a forward rush, slamming down hard with an overhead strike!

"So what are YOU going to do about it?"

"I'm going to train and fight to finish this once and for all!"

Odin yelled out in rage and grabbed the hammer, his shoulders and arms started to max out and his armor seemed to bulge. Odin tried to yank the hammer away while kicking upwards at Janus to to knock him away.

Janus: "Argh!"

He is kicked backward, and Satchel is thrown from his arms as he skids along the ground.

"This guy... He's insane..."

Janus kicked upward and called Satchel back to himself, holding it in the air, straight above his head!

"Time to turn up the heat... White Light!!!"

A series of archaic symbols shone at Janus' feet, and from them a column of bright white light rose from the ground, enveloping the warrior!

"If you can't beat me..."

The light faded, and Janus looked the same, yet somehow different. He lowered his hammer, and showed just what the difference was by doing a short hop and disappearing, reappearing right next to Odin with an obvious physical improvement. He hopped again, disappearing and reappearing repeatedly at different locations around Odin's body, finally coming to a stop on his left side, and swiping outward horizontally, speaking the whole time...

"....Then how can you expect to save the world?"

Odin blocked with his sword, somehow blocking it even with Janus' improved physical traits.

"You're still holding back, you can go farther, even if it has to be force."

Odin somehow managed to hold the hammer back, he pulled his sword away letting the hammer hit him in the chest with a loud clang. Odin skidded backwards a few feet, his helmet still covering his face after all this time. He lifted the helmet up, reveling a little blonde hair and the bottom of his face, he clapped the helmet back down on his head. Power began to build around him.

"This next attack isn't aimed just at you..."

Odin took his sword and stabbed it into the ground, the entire sky turning blood red.

"Watch out for your friend, because there is only one way to stop this and it isn't dodging."

Odin put more power into himself and then everything turned black, only two lights shined. One on Janus and one on Grey. Everything else was darkness.

"Ragnarok!"

The voice echoed and then Odin spoke again.

"You can't run, you can't hide. All you can do is break it, and only your true power will do that, hold back nothing if you want to walk away with your body intact."
