Valkyrie Smash



With Sam having returned it was time for a meeting to decide how things would proceed from now on. Zero Five took it upon herself to guard him and Trenta accompanied her this time. They led him to the Nephilim ship where those participating in the meeting awaited his arrival.

Representing the human survivors was Kamala, Ramla's assistant. The old seer had passed away in the chaos and with the current situation being what it is the responsibility fell on her shoulders. She seemed quite stressed out, and who could blame her? On one side she had the Valkyries who killed her fellow humans only a day ago, and on the other she had the Angels that exterminated the humans of her world, bringing them to extinction and forcing the survivors to live underground for twenty years.

Sam wanted to offer her some words of consolation, but his mind was occupied with something he believed to be more important; the one representing the Nephilim.

He knew something was off since the previous day but only now did he understand what it was. As he took his seat at the table, the Nephilim was the first to speak, standing up and greeting him.

"It's very nice to finally have the chance to meet you, Doctor Sam Sanderson." She said, bowing her head a little. "My name is Mimir. I'm Queen Thor's consultant and the current commander of our forces."

The name brought the image of a talkative old man's severed head to Sam's mind, but the one standing in front of him was far from that. Obviously, like all other Nephilim, she was a beautiful young girl. She was a bit on the short side, but not on the same level as Three and the others. Her dark green hair was tied into a bun over her head with some strands falling over her face. She wore the same grey uniform as Mjölnir who was standing behind her, but unlike the smiling silver haired Nephilim she looked like a tired office lady, worked to the point of exhaustion and then a little more.

"Ms. Mimir…" Sam began.

"Just Mimir is fine." She replied with a sigh.

"Then, Mimir… I've been wondering for some time now but…" pausing for a moment, he finally asked the question. "Since you're the one here, is your leader-"

"She's alive, at least." The green haired Nephilim interrupted him saying "She stayed behind to slow down the enemy, but apparently she was captured in the process."

"Captured?"

"Yes. From what we have seen, the enemy was more interested in capturing us than taking our lives." Letting out another sigh, she then added "Doctor, I'm sure you've seen the red tower in the distance, correct?"

"Indeed." Sam replied with a nod.

"It appeared a few days after the enemy took over our stronghold. We sent a few scouts to investigate but…"

Silence filled the small room. Seeing the difficult expression Mjölnir had on, Sam concluded that what happened wasn't exactly pleasant.

"I think it would be better if you see for yourself."

She tapped the table twice and a small panel appeared on its surface. After sliding her fingers on it a few times, a translucent window appeared in front of Sam and a moment later a video began playing, although it wasn't what Sam expected.

"Um… Ms. Mimir…" he said, looking up from the floating screen. "I think you've made a mistake…"

Thankfully Sam had his emotions suppressed, he didn't know what kind of expression he would have shown otherwise. He didn't know what he expected to see, but he never thought the recording would show a naked woman relaxing in a bathtub.

She was a tall beauty with long legs and massive breasts, clearly a Nephilim. Her crimson hair was tied over her head, and her features had a mature vibe to them. She seemed to be watching something on a floating screen as well. With how she was acting and from the camera angle Sam could tell that the video was taken in secret.

"Ah, my apologies. It seems I've selected the wrong recording." Mimir said, her monotone voice making him suspect that she did it on purpose. As she slid her fingers on the small panel again, she paused and looked up at him once more. "That was our current queen, by the way. Isn't she beautiful?"

"Um… yes, she is…" Sam said, glancing at the floating screen and seeing that the video was still playing.

"Does seeing her naked body instill in you the desire to copulate with her?"

The question left Sam dumbfounded for a couple of seconds. He cleared his throat then returned his gaze to the green haired Nephilim, but she met it with an unchanging expression.

"Ms. Mimir, you might not know this but… it's rather inappropriate to record such things without permission, let alone show them to other people."

"I'm aware of that fact." She replied with a nod. "Anyways, even if it was a mistake I believe it's a good thing that you saw her highness like that. It would've been a big problem if you had the wrong impression after seeing what I'm about to show you."

When the bathing red haired woman disappeared from the screen Sam almost sighed in relief. The serious mood they had was ruined, and he felt a dangerous aura coming from behind him, likely from Five who wasn't too pleased for some reason.

A new video began playing and Sam returned his attention to the screen. This time, as expected, the crimson tower was the center of focus. The runes he saw from the footage he obtained from the satellite were much more clear. Each of them was massive, exuding a sense of dreadful power that could be felt even through the recording.

"Hm?"

As he continued to watch, the footage zoomed in on the rings of gigantic Runes. It was difficult to see at first how bright things were, but after a while he noticed something hovering among the Runes, and the next moment he understood what it was.

A Nephilim, he was sure of it. She stood there, motionless with the diamond shaped wings holding her in place. She had no halo over her head, but what drew more attention was the strange headgear she wore, which covered only the upper half of her head.

The scout most likely tried to approach the girl as the scenery changed, but then a large bolt of red lightning came down from above forcing her to retreat. After being exposed running away should've been her highest priority, but the scout remained still and filmed everything, most likely stunned by what she saw.

Slowly descending from the sky was a woman. The red dress she wore complimented her beautiful figure. In her hand she held a black lance that reached beyond her height, its weight appearing to be of little bother. Behind her six diamond shaped wings glowed with the same red color as her dress, and same as the Nephilim from before her head was covered in a strange headgear, although this one appeared to be a lot more sophisticated, resembling a party mask a lot more than a piece of technology.

Sam recognized who she was without anyone having to tell him. After all he had seen her scarlet hair just a few seconds ago. Without a doubt, that was Thor, the current Nephilim queen.

Despite the beauty she depicted, Sam couldn't help but feel a sense of terror as he gazed at her appearance. Even with his emotions suppressed she managed to instill a strong fear inside of him, and for a moment he thought he understood why Mimir had shown him the first recording.

"The scout who brought back this recording had managed to teleport away just in time." Mimir paused the video as she spoke. "The others weren't so lucky, and I doubt they were taken as captives.".
