He can forge unbreakable armaments with his fiery touch, enhancing their strength through mystical heat. Additionally, Gerra has the ability to incinerate adversaries with a mere gesture, channeling destructive firestorms that can engulf entire battlefields.
Gerra wields the Ember Blade, a sword forged from the heart of a dying star, capable of slicing through any material with ease. He also harnesses the Flame Gauntlet, an armored glove that channels his fiery powers into concentrated blasts or molten projectiles.
The whispers of rebellion echoed through Uruk's streets, carried on the hot desert wind. In dimly lit taverns and crowded marketplaces, the people's desperation grew. Their prayers to the gods had gone unanswered, leaving them with one last, terrible option.
"We summon Pumpkin, the demon of vengeance," they chanted in hushed tones, their words a desperate incantation.
Meanwhile, in the opulent royal bedchamber, Gilgamesh reclined on silken sheets, his muscular form glistening with sweat. The scent of exotic oils and spent passion hung heavy in the air. He gazed at the beautiful woman beside him, her dark hair cascading over bronze skin.
"Another conquest," he mused, a smirk playing on his lips. "Is there no one who can resist the might of Gilgamesh?"
The woman's eyes widened in terror, fixed on a point behind him. Gilgamesh whirled, his warrior instincts kicking in. There, looming in the shadows, stood a nightmarish figure. An oversized, gnarled pumpkin served as its head, glowing eyes piercing through the darkness.
Pumpkin Head. The demon of vengeance.
Gilgamesh's heart raced. How had this creature breached his defenses? Fear gripped him, but he pushed it aside, replacing it with arrogance.
"You dare enter the chambers of a demigod?" he roared, leaping from the bed. "I am Gilgamesh, king of Uruk! Your presence here is an affront to-"
The demon attacked without warning, its claws slashing through the air. Gilgamesh barely dodged, feeling the rush of displaced air against his skin.
"Guards!" he bellowed, backing away. "To your king!"
But no help came. Pumpkin Head advanced, relentless and silent. Gilgamesh's mind raced. Who had summoned this abomination? And why did he feel, for the first time in centuries, a cold tendril of fear curling around his heart?
3 - 4
Gilgamesh's hand closed around Gandiva, the Celestial Bow materializing at his command. Its ethereal glow illuminated the chamber, 108 strings humming with cosmic energy.
"You face a god, demon," he snarled, nocking an arrow of pure light.
Pumpkin Head lunged, impossibly fast. Gilgamesh loosed his shot, the arrow streaking across the room. It pierced the creature's shoulder, eliciting an unearthly shriek.
"First blood to me," Gilgamesh taunted, but his smirk faltered as the wound closed instantly.
The demon's claws raked across his chest, drawing divine ichor. Gilgamesh stumbled back, his mind reeling. How could a mere demon wound him so easily?
"I am immortal!" he roared, unleashing a volley of arrows. "I've bested gods and monsters! You are nothing!"
But with each hit, Pumpkin Head regenerated, advancing relentlessly. Gilgamesh's confidence wavered. For the first time in millennia, he tasted fear.
"What are you?" he whispered, backing against the wall.
The demon's eyes flared, a voice like grinding stone filling Gilgamesh's mind: "I am vengeance. I am the price of tyranny."
Gilgamesh's eyes widened. "My people... they summoned you?"
Realization struck him harder than any blow. He'd grown complacent, cruel. In his quest for immortality, he'd forgotten the mortals he ruled.
As Pumpkin Head closed in, Gilgamesh's mind raced. He needed a plan, fast.
The roar of the crowd was deafening. Thor scanned the sea of
faces, all eagerly awaiting the clash of gods. The air crackled with excitement
and the promise of violence.
"Place your bets!" a gruff voice bellowed.
"Who will triumph? The Thunder God or the War Deity?"
Thor's grip tightened on Mjolnir. He could feel the hammer's
power thrumming through him, matching the pulse of anticipation in his veins.
Across the arena, Hachiman stood motionless, his katana sheathed at his side.
"You face the might of Asgard," Thor called out,
his voice carrying over the din. "Are you prepared, Hachiman?"
The Japanese god's eyes narrowed. "I have faced
countless battles, Odinson. This is but one more."
Without warning, Hachiman's hand flew to his sword. The
blade sang as it cleared its sheath, a streak of silver arcing towards Thor's
chest.
Thor brought Mjolnir up, deflecting the blow with a
resounding clang. The crowd gasped.
"First blood to you," Thor grinned, electricity
crackling around him. "Let's see how you fare against lightning!"
He hurled Mjolnir, the hammer streaking through the air.
Hachiman's blade flashed, barely deflecting the mighty weapon.
"Impressive," Hachiman admitted, his stoic facade
cracking slightly. "But your hammer is not the only mystical weapon
here."
His katana began to glow with an otherworldly light. Thor
recalled Mjolnir to his hand, the familiar weight settling in his palm.
*This will be a battle to remember,* Thor mused, excitement
building within him. *May the worthiest god prevail.*
3 - 4
The clash of steel on uru rang out across the arena as Thor
and Hachiman engaged in a brutal dance of destruction. Sweat beaded on Thor's brow,
his muscles straining with each swing of Mjolnir.
Hachiman's katana sliced through the air, its ethereal glow
leaving trails of light in its wake. The blade found purchase, carving a deep
gash across Thor's bicep.
Thor grunted, pain flaring. "First blood to you indeed,
warrior god."
He retaliated, Mjolnir connecting with Hachiman's shoulder.
The Japanese deity stumbled, his armor cracking under the impact.
*He's strong,* Thor thought, *but I can outlast him.*
"Your hammer packs quite a punch," Hachiman
acknowledged, rolling his injured shoulder. "But can it match the speed of
my blade?"
In a blur of motion, Hachiman unleashed a flurry of strikes.
Thor parried desperately, sparks flying as Mjolnir met katana again and again.
A few cuts slipped through his defense, painting red lines across his chest and
thigh.
Thor's eyes narrowed. *Time to show him the true power of
the storm.*
Lightning crackled around Thor's form, his hair standing on
end. With a mighty roar, he summoned a bolt from the heavens, directing it
through Mjolnir straight at Hachiman.
The Japanese god's eyes widened in shock as the lightning
struck. He raised his katana in a futile attempt to deflect it, but the sheer
force sent him flying backwards, his armor smoking.
Thor advanced, Mjolnir held high. "Do you yield,
Hachiman?"
Hachiman struggled to his feet, his proud posture now
hunched in pain. "A god of war does not yield, Odinson. We fight to the
end."
*So be it,* Thor thought grimly. *May the Allfather forgive
me.*
With a final, thunderous strike, Thor brought Mjolnir down.
The resulting shockwave shook the very foundations of the arena, leaving
Hachiman unconscious in a crater of shattered stone.
Thor stood victorious, but there was no joy in his eyes.
Only respect for a fallen warrior.
The winsome Wasp is one of the most experienced users of the
size-changing Pym Particles, being the first person to employ them to acquire
superhuman abilities besides their creator, Hank Pym. The Pym Particles
treatment grants her access to a variety of derivative abilities, mainly flying
when reduced in size[20] and firing bioenergy stings.[37]
Size Reduction: Due to long-term exposure to Pym
Particles,[68] the Wasp can reduce herself in size, down to the dimensions of
the insect from which she takes her name[20] roughly 1/2 inch in height. She
usually chooses not to retain her standard density while at this reduced mass
but can choose to do so at will. The "lost" mass is shunted to a
pocket dimension for later retrieval. Additionally, her strength was boosted
while she is at reduced size, to the extent that she can bend a one-inch diameter
steel bar almost double. Her size allows her to be easily unnoticed in most
cases, allowing her to become stealthy in some cases.
Bio-Synthetic Wings: Due to small implanted insect wings,
the Wasp could fly at incredibly fast speeds. These are functional when she
reduced herself in height,[20] and can remain so until reaching a height that
is a nearly foot shorter than her normal height.[citation needed] Her flight
speed can also allow her to gain a form of superhuman reflexes and agility,
being able to easily evade targets and attacks.[288]
Wasp's Sting: The Wasp could generate powerful bio-electric
blasts from her hand that have been shown to be capable of cutting through
high-density structures and is able to cause extreme pain to superhumanly
strong and highly durable beings and can pierce their skin.[citation needed] At
full size, Janet's stings can burn the face of the Sentry.[289]
Insect Communication and Control: Through the use of her
retractable antennae, the Wasp could communicate with and control certain
higher insects, in a manner similar to Ant-Man's helmet. She rarely chose to
utilize this ability, however.[citation needed]
Size Addition: In addition to being able to shrink, the Wasp
can grow significantly in size as well.[290][291][1][223] The growth process
requires the rapid acquisition of bodily mass, presumably from an
extra-dimensional source. This extra-dimensional mass should fortify all of her
cellular tissues, including her bones and muscles, making it possible to
support her increased weight, and giving her superhuman strength and
durability.[292]
Fulgora's hair crackled with electricity as she strode into
the Temple of Athena, her eyes locked on her opponent. The crowd's whispers
faded to silence.
Futsu-Nishi stood waiting, flames dancing along his arms.
"Ready to be humbled, storm goddess?"
"Save your breath for the fight," Fulgora shot
back, gripping her hammer tighter. Its runes pulsed, feeding off her rising
energy.
The gathered elites leaned forward, hungry for spectacle.
Fulgora felt their anticipation prickling against her skin. She took a deep
breath, centering herself.
Without warning, Futsu-Nishi unleashed a torrent of fire.
Fulgora raised her hammer, deflecting the flames in a shower of sparks. The
heat seared her face, but she grinned. This is what she lived for.
She spun, calling down a bolt of lightning. It struck
Futsu-Nishi square in the chest, sending him stumbling back.
He recovered quickly, hurling balls of flame in rapid
succession. Fulgora dodged and weaved, her precognition giving her split-second
warnings.
"Is that all you've got?" she taunted, channeling
electricity through her hammer.
Futsu-Nishi's eyes narrowed. "I'm just getting
started."
They clashed in the center of the temple, fire and lightning
colliding in a blinding explosion. The crowd gasped.
Fulgora gritted her teeth, pushing back against
Futsu-Nishi's onslaught. Her muscles strained, but she refused to yield.
Not today. Not in front of these people.
She reached deep, drawing on reserves of power she rarely
tapped. Lightning arced from her body, filling the air with ozone.
Futsu-Nishi's eyes widened in surprise. Good. She had him on
the back foot now.
Fulgora pressed her advantage, each swing of her hammer
trailing streaks of electricity. The battle intensified, energy blasts flying
back and forth in a dizzying display.
She caught glimpses of the crowd's awestruck faces between
exchanges. Let them see what true power looks like.
Fulgora's triumphant smirk faded as Futsu-Nishi countered
her assault with unexpected ferocity. His katana, now wreathed in flames,
sliced through her defenses. Pain seared across her arm.
"Damn," she hissed, leaping back. Blood trickled
from the wound.
Futsu-Nishi pressed forward, his calm demeanor unnerving.
"You fight well, Fulgora. But you lack
discipline."
She scoffed, channeling healing energy to her injury.
"I'll show you discipline."
They clashed again, hammer meeting sword in a cacophony of
thunder and fire. Each blow sent shockwaves through the temple. Fulgora's arms
ached, her breath coming in ragged gasps.
This isn't going as planned, she thought, narrowly dodging a
fireball.
"Tired already?" Futsu-Nishi taunted, his youthful
face barely showing strain.
Fulgora gritted her teeth. "In your dreams, pretty
boy."
She summoned a massive lightning bolt, but Futsu-Nishi was
ready. He raised his hand, redirecting the energy into a swirling vortex of
fire and electricity.
Oh, shit.
The combined elements slammed into Fulgora, sending her
flying across the temple. She crashed into a pillar, stars exploding behind her
eyes.
As she struggled to her feet, Futsu-Nishi approached, his
weapons now dual flaming daggers.
"It's over," he said softly.
Fulgora's vision blurred. No. Not like this. But her limbs
felt like lead, her power depleted.
With a final, desperate surge, she hurled her hammer.
Futsu-Nishi sidestepped easily, catching it in mid-air.
"I believe this belongs to you," he said, offering
it back with a slight bow.
Fulgora slumped, defeated. "Well played," she
managed, accepting her weapon. "I underestimated you."
As the crowd erupted in cheers, she couldn't help but admire
his skill. Perhaps there was something to learn from this lightning god after
all.
