《Young Adversary》289th Adversary: Juggernaut Assemble

Advertisement

God Continent.

There was a country known as the Loke Kingdom. This country was one of the newer countries compared to the countless powerhouses on the continent like the Asgard Empire and the Sanskrit Federation, which were led by Odin’s and Indra’s proxies respectively.

Despite being young, this country wasn't one anyone could afford to underestimate. That was because of who founded this country. Inside the royal capital, a man with blonde hair and green eyes walked the streets that were paved in gold. His presence easily drew the attention of every citizen there.

“It’s the king!”

“King Julian has returned!”

That’s right. The one who founded this country was none other than Loki’s Proxy and Rihan’s best friend and fellow Juggernaut member, Warmonger Julian.

Let’s talk about the man called the Warmonger for a bit.

Born and raised in the Asgard Empire. One of the many sons of Odin’s Proxy War Sage, Stein. He was already a rising star in the great Asgard army at the tender age of 15. By 20 he was a platoon leader and a general by 50. Even over 1000 years later, he still holds the record for the youngest General the army has ever seen, beating his older brother, Thor’s Proxy, Lightning Emperor Skylar. It goes without saying that Julian had a bright future in the world’s largest and most powerful empire. That’s why when he suddenly defected it came as a shock to not only the empire but the entire world.

His defection greatly angered his father, who sent all of his generals and warriors to pursue Julian. However, Stein and the empire didn’t know that Julian had become a proxy, and not just a regular Proxy but the Proxy of Loki, who had once plunged the entire Norse pantheon into chaos. Julian successfully repelled his pursuers using Loki’s tricky powers and escaped his father’s grasp. Or that was what others thought. In actuality, Julian had help when facing the Asgard Empire. The Juggernauts. The Juggernauts were created in secret by him and Rihan long before he left the empire. Julian went on to create this country to serve as a secret base of the Juggernauts, but it quickly became a powerhouse in its own right and functioned as a proper country with him as the king.

Under the cheers of his people, Julian walked towards his palace. Upon entering his palace he was greeted by a beautiful woman. She had long black hair that flowed like a river. Her blue eyes were like blue stars in the night sky. Her caramel skin was smooth and looked very soft. Her body voluptuous and could make any man mad with lust. Her overall impression was irresistible.

“Eden, you came to meet me.”

The woman was his wife, queen of his country; the God Eater, Eden. She was the god slaying wolf Fenrir’s Proxy.

“Of course I’m here to meet you, you’re late.”

Eden had a frown on her face.

“Oh? Are the others here already?”

Julian didn’t seem to mind.

“They mostly are. But since Rihan is busy, we had to wait for the other leader to start, which is you.”

“What? Couldn’t you start the meeting as my representative?”

Julian yawned as he walked alongside Eden.

“You know that those people won’t listen to me. I’m not an official member after all.”

“You could’ve beaten them into submission you know?”

“Like I could! Each and every one of them are monsters, there’s no way I could take them all on!”

Julian laughed.

“I was just kidding. Only a few people in this world are capable of such a feat.”

They walked down the halls of the palace until they reached a painting of themselves on a wall. Julian placed his hand on the painting.

*Pssh!*

The wall split into two and separated to reveal a hidden stairway leading to underneath the palace. They walked down the stairway, and the wall closed behind them. After walking down the dark stairway for a while, the scenery changed. They were now in a mountainous range. They had passed through a teleportation array and was carried to a different world. They, who were previously walking down, were now walking up a different set of stairs. After less than five minutes, they arrived at the top of the plateau. There they saw a huge temple with a devil on it. They entered the temple and came across a spacious room with a huge table in the center. Sitting around the table were 5 people. They all wore suits, masks, and either red or black gloves. These were the members of Juggernaut.

“Sorry that I’m late everyone. I got caught up with some business on my way here.”

Julian sat at the chair that had a black Joker on it.

“As an apology, I brought a gift.”

He flicked his wrist and an egg appeared on the table.

“This is a cockatrice egg. I had a run-in with a pack of them when I was on my way here. I snatched this egg in hopes that we can raise it.”

“Don’t we already have a cockatrice?”

One of the members asked. Their voice didn’t give away their gender. They sat on a chair that had a black K symbol with a crown on it. This was the Black King of the Juggernauts.

“We do?”

Julian’s eyes widened.

“Yeah. It’s roaming around in my kingdom, guarding its borders so I know.”

The Black King’s tone carried a hint of annoyance.

“I see. Then I’ll keep it for myself.”

Julian put away the egg.

“Black Joker.”

Another member lifted their hand. Like the Black King, their gender couldn’t be revealed by their voice alone. They sat on a chair with a red J letter with a crown above. This was the Red Jack of the Juggernauts.

“What is it?”

“I thought this was an important meeting that required everyone’s attendance. Yet, we’re missing 4 members.”

There were 11 seats at this table, all with a letter and a symbol in either red or black on them to indicate whose seats they were. By the way, Eden's seat had a black wolf on it. Since she wasn’t an official member, she didn’t have a face card suit assigned to her.

“I’m confused as to why there are so many members absent. Please explain.”

“I would like an explanation as well.”

Another member spoke up. They sat in the seat with a red K and crown on it. They were the Juggernauts Red King.

“The members that are missing are the Red Joker, the Black Ace, the Red Queen, and the Black Queen. They are all important members. Especially the Red Joker, who is the leader of the Red Order that I’m a part of.”

“There’s a good explanation for the missing members.”

Julian leaned forward.

“First of all, let’s start with your leader the Red Joker. You see, Rihan had some stuff to deal with back home and took a leave of absence. I’m sure you’re all aware of what happened at the Dragna Empire.”

“A leave of absence? Then, who will lead the Red Order?”

Asked the Red Jack.

“His second, the Red Ace.”

Julian looked at the person who sat in the seat with a red “A” on it. This was the Juggernauts Red Ace.

“I appreciate it if you don’t add more burdens to the ones I already have. I’m busy running a Kingdom you know?”

The Red Ace rest their elbow on the table and rest their chin in their hand.

“That isn’t going to work as an excuse. A couple of us are kings and queens of our own states as well. You have the time.”

The Red Ace clicked their tongue Julian smirked.

“If you’re gonna be mad, be mad at your husband for leaving everything to you.”

He spoke in a teasing tone.

“Hey, if Rihan went to deal with some family business why didn’t you go with him, Red Ace?”

The final member, who was the Black Jack, finally spoke up.

“Did you forget our 3rd rule?”

Red Ace sounded annoyed.

“Avoid associating with each other more than necessary when outside of the organization.”

Red King recited.

“Because of Red Ace’s public identity, she can’t associate with someone infamous like Rihan. People would get suspicious and start looking into their relation. This could lead to her indirectly revealing both their identities, thus breaking the first rule, 1. Never reveal the identities of any of the members.”

“That’s right. The world views Rihan and me as two opposites, they would get suspicious if I suddenly start associating myself with him.”

Said, Red Ace.

“But what about your son?”

Eden spoke up.

“It’s okay. I meet Aeon every now and then, in secret of course.”

Red Ace crossed her arms in front of her chest.

“Anyway, enough about me and Rihan. What about the other three missing members?”

She changed the topic.

“Ah, when I contacted Black Ace he said that New Era made contact with his empire. Things are tense there so he can’t make any moves.”

Eden replied.

“New Era, huh? Red King, didn’t you come in contact with one of its leaders?”

The Black King looked across the table at the Red King.

“That’s right. While posing as the principal at Grim Academy, she was there posing as a teacher. I was later ordered by the Bosses to test her out.”

The Red King, Robin Hood’s Proxy Thousand Face Nil, shook his head.

“That woman is a monster by every definition of the word.”

“Tiana Draxler, she contacted Rihan and me demanding for us to join New Era. Naturally, we refused and that’s why we’re at odds with them.”

Julian smiled.

“That Satanic bitch knows our identities but still haven’t released them to the world for some reason. I believe she just wants to mess with us. But it’s the same for us. We know the identities of every one of their core members. They outnumber and outgun us but that’s what makes this fun. They know all about us and we know all about them. It will be an interesting battle, to say the least.”

“Don’t we have to deal with Guzan and Maya first?”

Julian nodded to Black King’s question.

“We’ll play with them for a bit.”

Nil looked like he remembered something.

“Oh, Red Ace. I also met your nephew, Miko. He’s quite an interesting kid.”

Red Ace nodded.

“I agree. Rihan and Aeon talk about him from time to time.”

“He is your nephew, right? You could contact him using your identity as a fellow Proxy. You could then use your connection through him to interact with your son more.”

Said Eden.

“I appreciate the suggestion, but I’m alright with my current relationship with Aeon. I don’t want him to get caught up in our problems. He already has too much on his plate with a father like that.”

“I see….Sorry.”

Eden’s shoulder dropped. Julian silently patted her head to console her.

“Anyway, we’re officially at war with New Era. So be careful and make preparations for when they finally reveal our identities.”

A smirk crawled on his face.

“Just think of it as our sins finally catching up to us.”

“We’re a pack of sinners after all.”

Black Jack agreed.

“What about the two Black Queen and Red Queen? Are those two still on that same mission?”

Julian nodded.

“It’s a long-term job, but I heard that they should be finished in a couple of months or so.

Julian smiled.

“Apparently, their ‘Boss’ is making his final preparations to destroy the Dragna Clan.”

“I could never understand why Rihan made those two to assist that man in destroying his own clan.”

“The circumstances are a bit complicated.”

Julian smiled mysteriously in response to Black King’s question.

“I don’t really care to be honest. I could never understand the Red and Black Queen. Especially the Black Queen. He’s sick in his head. Are all Irregulars like that?”

Black Jack sighed.

“We’re all sick in the head as well. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have associated ourselves with Irregulars, Satans, or each other. I guess it’s our craziness why we’re so famous.”

Julian said with a laugh.

“Anyway, here are my two orders.”

He put on a serious face and lifted one finger.

“First agenda, Conqueror King Guzan, and Perfect Queen Maya, we will prepare to take these two down.”

“Are there any limits to what we can do?”

Asked Black King. Julian shook his head.

“Any method is acceptable, no matter how dirty or despicable. We’re facing Alexander the Great and Authur Pendragon’s proxies, after all. So be free to present ideas.”

“The second agenda?”

Asked Red Ace.

“New Era. They’re making some big news as of late and are getting a bit too arrogant for comfort. Rihan and I want to teach them that not everything under the heavens will bow to them.”

“So, what are we going to do?”

A wicked smile appeared on Julian’s face.

“Thanks to a recent customer the chance to do it has presented itself and we’ll take full advantage of it.”
