Hercules knew it was coming, he could feel it in his bones. He knew the gods wouldn't help with what was coming, though he hadn't truley expected them to. he looked down at Jack and wondered if people like her would really understand what was coming, They had constructed fantasies about epic battles with super human combatants but they had never truley seen a gods wrath with their own eyes. Nemisis knew what he was thinking as he bent down to kiss the girl on the cheeck and whisper something in her ear.
He accidentally called her Daenarah she was a bit annoyed by this but didn't say anything, she had wanted him since she first saw him but his heart belonged to his long dead wife. Suddenly it occured to Jack that he seemed more stoic than usual, she knew he would have to fight soon she'd heard what was going on but never thought anything could really hurt him. She looked at him as if he were indestructable but for some reason it felt like a last day. The Hero whispered some thing to Nemisis then she grabbed Jack and dissappeared, Jack was furious but Hercules had been quite insistant that she be as far from this as possible.
Galahad sat grimly not truley knowing what was coming but he could feel his gut tightening as it usually did before a battle he hated to admit it but knew for some reason he may have to kill today. He left Achillies and found a church where he sat in prayer. Achillies had the same feeling but cared nothing for any god he was thinking of that sword and how nice it would be to have Ares' blood on it. He had dreamed of killing the god of war since Troy.
He had been Ares' personal killing machine up to that point, He'd allways felt he'd been robbed of his warrior's death, he truley beleived that if it had not been for his indestructable fleash Hector would have delivered it. Achillies gathered his rage and balled it up in his stomach as feul then went looking for Yu, with that sword he could bring down the god with the hopes of having his glorious death in the process.
Yu looked on the blade in his hand and wondered for a moment if he could just fall on it but honor forbade he had given his word. He'd been following Hercules for awhile when he saw his companions leave and the hero looked back to his position and waved him over. Yu realized suddenly that a sneak attack would be impossible as he'd noticed Hercules sniff the air before he'd turned from the last ambush.Now he'd just been waiting to be alone no reason to get bystanders hurt. He burst from his hiding place and ran towards his foe.
Hercules stomped the ground causing it to quake which made Yu fall. Then he jumped back to his feet as Hercules approached he swung the sword at the hero but it was dodged and punched Yu in the gut sending him flying across the feild. He then ran back sword going strait for the massive man's neck but he was caught by the arm and with ease Hercules took the sword and buried it in YU's gut. He looked down with curiosity as his enemy began to smile. Yu knew his death had come this sword truley could kill an immortal he thought back and saw his children and the wives he'd watched die and as the world went black he looked up to the hero and said, "thank you".
Achillies had caught up to them in time to see this. He watched Hercules throw the sword down but then noticed a dog looking at him, it started to charge and lept but Hercules swung arround and caught it by the throat shaking it violently as Loki revealed his true form he laughed at Hercules and told him he should have kept the sword. Loki deleivered a punch that would have shattered a mountain but Hercules merely turned his head and looked back, He told the god of mischeif that he needed no sword his father's blood had given him enough power to kill the likes of Loki with his bare hands. Achillies watched in amazment as Hercules killed a god with ease, he no longer felt any shame in his simple defeat.
Achillies marched to the middle of the feild and pledged loyalty to the Hero and told him"there's a storm coming" Hercules nodded he didn't know why Achillies suddenly appeared offering help but he knew he needed all he could get. Achillies picked up the sword.
As Galahad sat in prayer he heard the sound of marching, Ares had gathered soldiers many thousands He ordered an attack but in truth was running both sides of this fight. Ares' soldiers began to firing on people in the streets as the police started firing back the earth started to tremble as Ares walked down the street fearlessly as bullets flew everywhere. Galahad walked out to see the situation then decided to act. He charged on the soldiers taking bullets for his trouble but he healed as fast as they hit. He took the gun from the first man he got to and started fighting.
He didn't know quite how long he could keep this up but he heard a battle cry from out of no where Achillies came running into the fray with excalibur in hand. Bullets bounced harmlessly off his chest inspiring fear in Ares' soldiers. Behind Achillies was Hercules swatting soldiers away by the dozen but this was not his goal he saw his half brother surveying the battle Ares turned and smiled, he had true joy that Yu had failed but Hercules would have to wait, he ordered Eris to occupy him. She begged him to send some one else she wanted nothing to do with Hercules, she had seen him kill gods before . After many pleas she lunged as if she were going for the hero but dissappeared. Ares was infuriated.
God and Demi-god meet in the street the impact from Ares' first strike rattled the entire city. In seconds buildings started to crumble from the vibrations caused by this fight. Ares' soldiers and the rest of the mortals stared in horror of the power these two possessed. Hercules was knocked on his back and Ares lept on him,pounding his head into the ground but then the hero kicked him off sending him through a building and into an arena nearby. Hercules lept to catch him but Ares caught him in mid-air slinging him to the pavement blood streamed from his mouth as he stood up to meet his brother again.
Achillies and Galahad ran to witness what was going on. As Hercules was reeling Achillies charged with the sword but Ares swatted it causing the blade to shatter. A piece lodged its self into Hercules suddenly the sky went black. As the thunder rolled distracting Ares the hero picked up a piece of the blade.He jammed it into the god of war's neck and he fell to his knees. He died in a pool of blod. Hercules laid down in the street knowing his time had come as an angry storm came full force lightning bolts struck the ground near Ares' troops and then started hitting them. Achilles stated that Zeus was in a rage and they'd be best to find cover.
