This is it! The LAST chapter of the story! We've come a long way, and this story has grown so much because of you guys! And here we are! Sorry it took so long. I'm also a Junior now! YAAY! I really hope you guys will like it. It's really long though, so I recommend reading it in parts.

I would really like to thank the person that typed up my first ever detailed review! I'm happy to hear that you enjoy my OC's! I don't really know what a Mary Sue is, but I looked it up after I read the review, and I'm glad that my OC's didn't fall under its spell, because apparently people hate it?

But I'm so happy that you took the time to write that review, it let me know that some people really do enjoy the story, and it means a lot. Thank you. If you guys want to know what I'm talking about, simply check the reviews.

But before we start, people have some confusion about Astrid's power, or just overall, what the three main OC's gain from their energy control.

Myra: Her signature color is blue. Her bow and arrows get buffs, they gain lethal, explosive power. They also travel extremely fast through the air. Her aiming improves, nearly impossible for her to miss. Lastly, her speed increases, as well as her agility. Her reaction time is eerily quick.

Virgil: Her signature color is green. She gains magical abilities to her sword, being able to control it from a distance. She buffs its blade, making it extremely powerful. She can fire energy blasts from anything embedded with her Emerald Gems, whether it be her sword, or her hands. Finally, she gains the ability to heal herself, and allies, at the sacrifice of most of her physical energy.

Astrid: Her signature color is red. She gains super strength, when supercharged; it can be God-like. She can sustain major amounts of damage, and is able to tolerate extraordinarily high levels of pain. Her body gets stronger, tougher, and more durable. She can withstand things that regular humans can't. Finally, she has a temporary buff to her stamina, rendering her unable to tire. Exhaustion is no longer a problem, and she has infinite energy. Her body can move and be mobile, even when it shouldn't be functional. Like being able to run with a broken leg, or breathe with ruptured lungs.

Anywho, get ready for the final chapter of:

Smite: Civil War

Scorched Valley, Far Side of Mt. Olympus…

"Come on! We're almost there!" Freya panted; she had her sword out, and was running towards the temple where the Rune was being held in.

"Are you sure she's in trouble?" Hou Yi exclaimed, holding his bow.

"I'm positive! I can just feel it…I feel that she's in trouble." Freya began to run faster, Chang'e straggling behind everyone.

"Come on Freya, you and I are the fastest, we can help her if she really is in troub-" Virgil suddenly gasped as she watched Jing Wei fly through the wall of the building, Thanatos himself flew through the hole she made.

"Agh..Are you….Really that mad that you got your ass handed to you by a teenager like me?" Jing Wei grunted as she regained her footing.

"WHAT?! I HAD YOU…IF ONLY THAT SUN GODDESS DIDN'T INTERUPT!" Thanatos fumed.

Jing Wei didn't even flinch at his screams of rage; she only smirked and unsheathed her katana.

"GET AWAY FROM HER!" Freya reached out to Thanatos, grabbing him in her magic; she then threw him back into the temple, where Nox and Chronos were hovering next to the Fire Giant Rune, protecting it.

The New Order gods rushed in, they all glared at their opponents.

Hou Yi made the first move; he fired three fiery arrows at Nox, who blocked them all.

"Go ahead and block this!" Hou Yi fired a powerful arrow that ricocheted off the wall to the right of Nox and hit her directly in the legs, making her lose focus, and fall to the ground with a loud thud.

"Ghgh…." Nox slowly got back onto her feet, Chronos teleported next to her.

Thanatos immediately focused Jing Wei, trying to kill her as fast as possible. Hou Yi and Chang'e double teamed Chronos, while Freya and Nox fought each other with their magic.

Virgil only watched behind a pillar, as the Gods would kill her almost instantly.

Chronos dodged several arrows, he teleported to the right a bit, but Hou Yi shot him in the shoulder right after.

"GAAH!" Chronos fired a large ball of magic that the couple easily dodged. Hou Yi fired yet another arrow, hitting The Time God right through the chest.

"Hmph…" Chronos ripped out the arrow; he lifted up his hand in the air, summoning a gear under Hou Yi.

"Watch out!" Chang'e cried out, The Archer leaped into the air; he hovered there for a few seconds and watched as the gear exploded, he would have died instantly.

"Wha…How are they so powerful?" Hou Yi stammered, his skin tingling from the power he felt from that attack.

Chronos let out a hearty laugh, his fist shined with fire. The Rune was giving them strength.

"HAH!" Chronos went berserk, he began to fire multiple lasers at Hou Yi, who slammed down next to him, he went for a kick, but Chronos quickly teleported into the air, he flew up and began to fire more magic.

One of the beams hit Hou Yi with a direct hit, making him fall on his back, hard.

Chronos teleported behind him and was about to blast him into oblivion before Chang'e came up next to him and pushed the God away with a sweep of her magic, while at the same time healing Hou Yi.

Chronos was teleporting everywhere, dodging arrows from Hou Yi and magic from Chang'e. Finally, he stopped and hovered over her, he powered up a blast to not only kill her, but completely disintegrate her remains.

"NO!" Hou Yi sent forth his golden crow, marking Chronos, he then fired another full power arrow, hitting him with a direct hit, and making him fall to the ground with smoke radiating off his chest.

Chang'e rushed forward and performed a Crescent Moon Dance, sending forth a large blue blade of magic that caused massive pain to Chronos.

Hou Yi fired nine arrows into the sky in rapid succession, at the same time, Chang'e sent forth a powerful Waxing Moon ultimate, stunning and hurting Chronos for a few seconds.

"AARRGH!" He hunched over in pain. Just then, huge meteors broke through the roof of the temple and began to crash down on him.

Chronos got hit with most of the meteors before teleporting to safety, his body was half broken.

Freya and Nox were fighting with agility and powerful magic.

Nox flew up into the air and fired multiple beams of magic, using her sword, Freya blocked all the attacks. She fought back with her own blades of magic that she shot forth from the tip of her blade.

"HAH! HUAH!" She fired a hailstorm of magic blades. Nox waved her hands in front of her and created a shield of darkness that absorbed all the blades, she crushed the blades into a large sphere of magic, and using her own magic; she made it into a sphere of dark and light energy.

"EAT THIS!" Nox sent the HUGE sphere forward, sending it hurdling towards Freya.

"I WILL!" Freya held her sword out in front of her, she grit her teeth, and shut her eyes tightly.

Freya's sword stuck into the sphere of magic, absorbing all the power, her real arm was sent into a world of pain, power surging through it.

"HAAANGH! NNGH…NGHAAAAHHHHH!" Freya yelled out in the worst pain she's ever been in, but she endured through it, suddenly, she opened her eyes, both shimmering pink.

The Valkyrie let out a battle cry, she lifted her sword into the air, Nox's sphere of magic disappeared into her sword, the blade shined brightly with the most powerful magic the Gods have ever seen.

"What's this?" Nox steadily floated back.

"Það er yfir fyrir þig!" Freya yelled out, she aimed her sword forward, in the blink of an eye; hundreds of blades per second were firing from the tip of her blade.

It was like the fastest firing machine gun, Nox tried to block the blades, but her force field broke and hundreds of blades began to hit the Goddess repeatedly in the chest.

Freya watched Nox get shot up until she fell to ground, where she continued to fire.

"STOP IT! AGGHH! GAAAH!" Nox cried out in pain, she finally turned into a shroud of darkness that began to make its way towards Freya.

"Huh?" Freya stopped firing, her blade still fueled up with plenty of power to send out one more powerful move.

Nox returned to normal, her gloves shrouded in darkness. Freya was too fast; she stabbed her right in the stomach with her shining blade.

"Guh! Kch…." Blood fired out of Nox's mouth and splattered all over Freya's smiling face.

"I think you're about to see the light." Freya smiled at Nox, whose eyes widened as she felt the blade get hotter inside of her.

"No….No….NOOO-"

A laser shot out of Freya's sword, hitting Nox while impaled; she crashed into the back wall of the temple, a large hole in her stomach.

Freya's eyes widened. "WHAT?! HOW! HOW ARE YOU STILL ALIVE!?"

She suddenly heard a voice to the right of her, it was Jing Wei.

"Freya! The Fire Giant Rune! We have to destroy it!" She cried, and blocked yet another attack from a still angry Thanatos.

Freya looked up to see the Rune shining brightly, still juiced up with what seemed like infinite power.

"Damn it…She's right…I have to do something."

Jing Wei interrupted Freya's thinking. "IF YOU'RE GONNA DO SOMETHING, DO IT FAST! EVERYONE ELSE IS PROBABLY BEGINNING TO ATTACK RIGHT NOW! WE NEED TO WEAKEN THEIR DEFENSES…..NOW!"

Freya began to breathe heavily, her heartbeat accelerated.

"FREYA LOOK OUT!"

She looked up to see Nox send forth a beam of darkness that sent her into the ground. It bore down on her.

"GAAH! STOP!" Freya yelled, she shielded her body from the beam using her forearms. She kicked her leg up, sending a small bit of energy flying towards Nox's stomach, making her lose focus, and stop firing the laser.

Freya looked around, Nox, Chronos, and Thanatos still going strong, the New Order gods were beginning to get exhausted.

The Valkyrie looked at her robotic arm, she clenched fist and narrowed her eyes, then began to run forward.

The Greek Pantheon Northern Flank…

"Holy shit! There's so many of them!" Bellona yelled, with one swung of her bludgeon, six Iron Legion soldiers were killed.

Neith was using all her strength to repeatedly fire spirit arrows; she fired the first one with no effort, killing a dozen Iron Legion soldiers in a straight line. But then she fired a second one, then a third.

The weaver pulled the string back with all her strength to fire a fourth one. Her three strings were tight and strained, glowing white with overuse, her fingers hurt and muscles ached while she pulled back once more, a fifth spirit arrow flew out.

Neith breathed heavily, half knocked out, she tried to send forth another Sprit Arrow, but she was about to pass out, Bellona stopped her.

"Woah! Woah! Neith, stop it! You're hurting yourself!" She fell into Bellona's arms; The Morrigan came in front of the two Goddesses to cover them.

"I-I'm trying to push them back…There's so many of them and I want to help…As much as I can…" Neith panted, Bellona could feel her heartbeat, and it was extremely quick.

"Yeah I know you are…But you have to take it easy. Those Spirit Arrows are powerful, but they use your strength to send them out, you have to slow down a bit and only use them when you're ready." Bellona held the Egyptian Goddess, who was looking up at her.

"Okay…Thanks Bell…" The Weaver lifted her head up a little, Bellona knew what she wanted.

The two Goddesses shared a short but sweet kiss, Bellona helped Neith get back on her feet, and handed the Weaver her bow.

Astrid swung her longsword with pride and strength, killing multiple soldiers with each swing.

"Come on! We have to get past all these soldiers!" She raised her sword in the air, filling nearby Egyptian soldiers with renown, making them fight harder and more efficiently.

Astrid cut straight through the shields of two Iron Legion soldiers with her blade, shortly after she killed them both.

Myra smiled, she was happy to be fighting alongside her sister, her eyes flashed blue as she fired a powerful arrow, causing a small explosion, and killing a few soldiers.

"Let's go sister! Pour it on!" Myra and Astrid charged forward together, Bellona, Neith, and Morrigan not too far behind.

Nemesis was using her super speed to kill hundreds of Iron Legion soldiers, but it was in vain, there was so many of them, it looked as if she was doing basically nothing.

The Greek Pantheons Eastern Flank…

"Awilix! Be careful! They could potentially overrun you, they may pale in comparison to us, but there is strength in numbers!" Odin yelled. He slammed down in the middle of a pack of Iron Legion soldiers, killing them all.

Awilix stabbed and killed soldiers as she made her way through to Odin, the Norse Army behind them.

"I hope the death of Artemis does not affect you too much during this Awilix…You need to concentrate if you want to live through this, and potentially keep on remembering her." Odin told The Goddess, who was standing next to him.

"Maybe Odin…Maybe. But there's so many of them…Way more than I've ever seen." Awilix murmured.

"It is true…I would have hoped that the infiltration team would have already weakened their defenses. There must be something going wrong…" Odin responded as he spun around twice, cutting nearby Iron Legion soldiers in half.

"Yeah…There must be. There always is…"

Greek Pantheons South-Eastern Flank…

Skadi stood alone, fighting alongside the Norse Army, her ice spears freezing and killing everything in their path.

"Where are they…?"

Suddenly, from the south, the Chinese and Japanese Armies joined the fight, leading them, Rama and Ne Zha.

"Finally…" Skadi murmured.

Rama flew up into the air and fired three shots, killing dozens of Iron Legion soldiers.

Ne Zha stood behind Rama, spear shaking in his hands.

"Good to see you Avatar." Skadi grunted.

"Sorry for the delay, I had to get Ne Zha to stop crying. I couldn't just leave him behind." Rama smirked, Ne Zha reddened with embarrassment behind him.

"I don't blame the kid…Rama, do you see this?" Skadi pointed at the orange blanket of Iron legion soldiers in front of them, protecting the inner mountain.

"We fight our way up as far as we can. We can make it to the top level of the mountain, where the Gods must be."

"Yeah…But how?" Skadi frowned.

"We wait for the Infiltration team."

Skadi frowned; she looked at Rama with worried and puffy eyes.

"The fate of this war rests in their hands." He finally said.

Scorched Valley…

Virgil flew into a wall; she slid down it and went numb.

"Gh….Damn it…" She held her side, it was bleeding, badly.

"Stupid human! Do not interfere with the killing of this weakling!" Thanatos hovered towards her. Just then, Jing Wei kicked him in the side of the head.

The Hand of Death, recovered, and angrily went in for an attack on Jing Wei's neck bones, but she deflected the attack and stabbed him in the gut with her katana, she ripped the blade upwards, then stabbed her opponent in the chest, making him grunt loudly in pain.

Jing Wei kicked Thanatos back and ripped out her katana from his chest, blood leaking from it. The Hand of Death staggered back, offended.

"AGH…Do you…Have any idea…How much I HATE YOU!?" Thanatos yelled at Jing Wei.

The Winged Goddess helped Virgil up, she only smirked at Thanatos.

"It's not a good idea to have a grudge with death himself…" He growled.

"Yeah…I know…But so far, nothing bad has happened." Jing Wei whipped her hair back and forth a few times.

Thanatos observed The Goddess' body: Young and athletic. "What's with the new look? You were already ugly enough."

Jing Wei was wearing new clothes, black and blue armor, some chainmail and designed gloves and boots. She replaced her tassel with a blue gem, and had blue highlights in her hair, similar to Bellona.

*She looks like the cover picture of the story, if you're one of those people who like to picture what they read.*

"Yeah…Virgil helped me pick it out. Before we found out someone betrayed us." Jing Wei responded.

"Yeah…Sol right? She's on our side now…She's going to try and kill as many of you guys as she can." Thanatos teased.

Jing Wei grit her teeth in anger, she charged at Thanatos, and the two clashed blades, they did so multiple times before Jing Wei made a move. She went for a low sweep, but Thanatos stepped back and took advantage of her low positioning, he slammed down his scythe on the ground.

"Woah!" Jing Wei managed to dodge the attack, she hit the scythe aside and slashed Thanatos's thigh.

"Gah!" Thanatos failed to attack Jing Wei, she deflected his attack and stabbed him through the chest, but he withstood the pain.

Thanatos lit up with an indigo light; he stabbed Jing Wei with his scythe and threw her over him. She landed behind him.

"DIE!" Thanatos lifted up his boot to crush Jing Wei's skull, but she quickly rolled away and regained her balance with her wings.

Freya got hit with Nox's sphere of dark magic; she flew back and coughed out black smoke.

"No…We're starting to lose…" Freya looked around, Virgil was trying to heal herself, but she was far too out of it.

"This ends now…" Freya clenched her metallic fist. She sent forth a beam of magic at the Rune, making Nox turn into a shroud of darkness to block the hit.

"Hou Yi! Attack the Rune! I have a plan!" Freya yelled.

Hou Yi did as told; he fired an arrow at the Rune, hitting the beam that was holding it. The Rune hit the ground with a loud thud that echoed through the temple.

Virgil fired her wrist crossbow at Thanatos's calf, but the armor was too strong, it didn't even pierce.

"Ha…You reall-GUH!" Jing Wei drop kicked Thanatos right in the side of the chest, making him stagger back. She took out her crossbow and shot him with an explosive bolt, hitting with a direct hit.

"GAANGH!" The explosion sent Thanatos hurdling into a wall, causing a large explosion when he crashed landed. The Hand of Death hung his head low as rubble fell on top of him.

Chronos's eye lit up with a light blue flame. "You'll pay for that archer!" In the blink of an eye, he charged up a beam of magic and aimed at Chang'e.

"NOO!" Hou Yi ran towards his dear wife, he jumped in front of her and took the beam, right in his chest.

"GAAHHH!"

"HOU YI! NOO!" Chang'e cried.

"Ouh…Chang'e…Are you…Okay…?" Hou Yi staggered around, before falling forward on his stomach.

Chang'e pulled her husband behind a pillar, mostly away from danger.

"You idiot! I could have taken care of myself! You made me waste the power of the Aegis Amulet!" Chang'e cried; the golden rings of protection suddenly disappeared.

Hou Yi struggled to talk; his chest was open, burning with smoke. "I'm sorry…I thought…You couldn't do it in time…"

"Hou Yi…I can heal you!" Chang'e held the gem in the center of the Meditation Cloak.

Hou Yi stopped her; he grabbed his wife's hand. "Don't do it…I'm done for. This wound is fatal…"

"No! DON'T SAY THAT!" Chang'e cried, tears rolling down her soft cheeks.

"Chang'e…I'm no god. I'm not immortal…Trying to heal me…When I've gotten hit with an attack from a Primordial…Is a waste of resources. Please." Hou Yi managed to say.

"No! NO! I'M USING IT! YOU CAN'T STOP ME!" Chang'e yelled, she raised the cloak into the air. Just then, a pulse wave of healing energy flew through the temple, healing Freya and Jing Wei…But not Hou Yi.

Chang'es heart stopped. "N…N-No…" Her lips trembled; she covered face and began to sob like never before.

"Chang'e…I love you. Alright? Take care of yourself." Hou Yi coughed.

"Hou Yi…No…Please don't go!" Chang'e held her husband's hand. But it was too late.

"Farewell.." Hou Yi said weakly, before letting go of his wife's hand, and sliding down the pillar.

"No…NO….NOOO!" Chang'e yelled. She hunched over the body of her husband, crying immensely and desperately.

Chronos teleported next to Nox, who was guarding the Rune. "I got one."

"Nice work." Nox smiled, Chronos smiled back.

Freya held her organic arm with her real arm, she narrowed her eyes and took a deep breath.

"Kch….Come on…I can do this…For the war…For everyone who's died." Freya began to jog forward, Nox and Chronos laughing at her.

Freya stopped, still holding her arm. "VIRGIL! THROW ME YOUR KNIFE!"

Virgil turned back and brought out a small knife from her bootstrap. She threw it at Freya, who caught it.

Tears rolled down her cheeks, Freya looked back at Jing Wei, who was fighting Thanatos.

"Virgil! Come on!" Jing Wei kicked Thanatos back, she looked back at Virgil.

"NNGH…NNGHAHA!" Virgil fired a green beam of energy from her sword, hitting Thanatos in the chest, sending him bursting through a pillar and into the wall again.

"JING WEI! GRAB CHANG'E…AND GET OUT OF HERE!" Freya cried.

Jing Wei looked confused. "WHAT?! WHY!?"

Freya began slowly began to sob. "Please Jing Wei…Do as I say…PLEASE! JUST GET THEM OUT OF HERE!" She yelled, and began to sprint towards Nox and Chronos.

"What is she doing?" Nox frowned. Along with Chronos, she began to try and hit Freya with spells.

The Valkyrie dodged everything, and kept moving forward. She flew up the steps and sprinted towards Nox and Chronos.

"AAHH!" Freya yelled, she tackled Nox and Chronos into the ground, and pinned both of them down.

"JING WEI! ARE THEY OUT OF HERE!?" Freya yelled back.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Jing Wei shouted. She flew above Freya; she too was starting to cry.

"Jing Wei…Get Virgil and Chang'e out of here…" Freya said between short sobs, she was ignoring the punches that Nox and Chronos were taking at her.

Freya held the knife tightly; she stared at Jing Wei intently. "Please…Do it!"

The Winged Goddess breathed heavily. She suddenly came to the realization. "Freya…Are you sure!?"

She nodded her head in response.

"Okay then...Goodbye Freya…I love you!" Jing Wei cried, she flew back and picked up Virgil, she then dropped her at the exit of the temple.

"Go! Get out! Run as fast as you can!" Jing Wei pushed the blonde-haired explorer down the stairs.

Jing Wei flew back to grab Chang'e. "Chang'e! We have to go!"

"I'm not leaving Hou Yi!" She pushed Jing Wei away; Freya's cries of pain could be heard echoing through the temple.

"Chang'e! LET'S GO!" Jing Wei grabbed her arm and began to pull her away.

"NO! NO!" Chang'e cried. Jing Wei was pulling her to the exit as fast as she could.

Freya looked back at her, who was pulling Chang'e out of the building. "There…It's time."

Chronos yelled at Freya. "GET OFF! I CAN KILL YOU WHENEVER I WANT!" He held a switch that had a pink button on it.

Freya stabbed the switch with the knife, destroying it.

"NOO!" Chronos yelled. Freya pinned down Nox and Chronos completely; she began to mumble things under her breath.

"For the New Order." She held the knife tightly, immediately; Nox and Chronos knew what was happening.

Nox turned into a raven and flew out from under Freya; she flew out from the hole in the roof of the temple. Freya and Chronos were wrestling on the ground.

Chronos tried to teleport, but Freya was choking him, he couldn't do anything. "Freya! Don't do it! There are other ways!" He yelled.

Tears trickled down the Valkrie's face, but her face was emotionless. "No there isn't, the Rune is right behind you. I have the chance to do two things." She said in a dull tone.

Chronos's heartbeat picked up. "NO! YOU FOOL! YOU'LL KILL US BOTH!"

Freya's eye flashed pink, she stared at Chronos.

"I know."

She stabbed the knife into her own organic arm, igniting the mechanism inside of it. In the blink of an eye, a huge explosion happened, absolutely destroying the temple, the Rune, Chronos, and Freya herself.

A burst of hot air knocked Nox out of the air, almost making her lose her raven form, but she kept flying…Towards Olympus.

"HOLY SHIT! GET DOWN!" Jing Wei and Chang'e lifted up into the air; the explosion behind them threw them forward.

Virgil helped Chang'e and Jing Wei back onto their feet. "W-Where's Freya?"

Jing Wei took a few seconds to respond, she looked down before looking up at Virgil. "She…She gave her life for The New Order."

Virgil's heart stopped. "No…No she didn't!" She began to tear up.

"Yep…She did it…She destroyed the Rune…and Chronos…" Jing Wei said sternly, trying to hide the cluster of emotions she felt.

Virgil looked at the ground; she closed her eyes as a tear rolled down her cheek. She looked up at the moon.

"T-Thank you…Freya…" Virgil said with a warm smile, the sunlight shining down on her face.

Jing Wei turned to Chang'e. "Hey…You okay?"

The Moon Goddess wiped tears from her face, and looked at Jing Wei. "I…I'm sorry. I almost got both of us killed. I don't know why I wanted to stay with someone who's already dead."

"Don't say that! People do that. You wanted to grief with him in front of you. I'm sorry I had to pull you out…But I couldn't just leave you to die." Jing Wei smiled.

"I guess you're right. Thank you Jing Wei. You saved my life." Chang'e smiled warmly, and hugged the young Goddess tightly.

The three girls looked back at the temple, it was in ruins.

"I hope that destroying the Rune did something." Jing Wei murmured.

Virgil put her hand on her shoulder. "Trust me Jing Wei, it did."

"How do you kno-" Jing Wei looked behind her, the small village was empty, the Iron Legion soldiers that inhabited it were genetic, meaning they were powered from the Rune.

They were all on the ground, lifeless, same thing with a few Omicrons.

"Oh…" Jing Wei smiled.

"Come on. Let's join the fight." Virgil smiled; she pulled out a Ward, and then placed it on the ground, opening a portal.

"I placed one in a wine cellar back at Mt. Olympus. We'll teleport there and once again are behind enemy lines." Virgil shrugged.

"I'm used to it. Let's go." Jing Wei smiled, the three girls walked through the portal.

Just then, a winged figure landed in front of the Ward, but it suddenly turned off.

"Hmph…Don't they know…You can't escape death."

The Greek Pantheon…

Bellona and Astrid ran through the near empty battlefield. Millions of Iron Legion soldiers suddenly dropped lifeless in front of them.

"YES! THEY DID IT! LET'S GO!" Bellona charged forward and killed any real soldiers that stood in her way.

"RALLY! RALLY HERE!" She raised her sword in the air, Astrid next to her.

Within seconds, Ne Zha, Odin, Awilix, Skadi, Rama, Morrigan, Myra, Nemesis, and Neith all gathered around Astrid and Bellona.

"It's great to see you all! Guys…This is it. We can win this war!" Bellona yelled out, happiness in her voice.

"We should stick together, but maybe split up to try and find the Gods of Chaos once we get up to their level of the Mountain." Rama brought up.

"Good idea. Astrid? Shall we?" Bellona turned to The Commander and smiled.

Astrid had brand new armor, still Blacksteel, but this time the robes weren't orange, they were blue.

The two hit the locks of the large Golden Gate of the mountain with their blades; they blasted it open for the other Gods to enter.

"Let's do this."

Atop Mt. Olympus…

"Shit…This doesn't look good Hades…" Scylla whined, she watched as Omicrons and the majority of the Iron Legion immediately died and fell lifeless to the ground.

Hades slammed his fist on his desk; Scylla got startled and stopped watching out of his window.

She stood in a horizontal line in front of Hades's desk along with Ares, Sol, and Da Ji.

"Damn it! WHERE IS THANATOS? AND NOX?!" Hades yelled, just then, the mother and son walked into the room.

"You…YOU DIDN'T STOP THEM?!" Hades yelled with anger.

"No boss…The Queen of Valkyries…She knew about her arm. She used it to kill Chronos and to destroy the Rune. As well as the entire Fire Giant Temple." Thanatos cracked his neck.

"How did she do it?!" Hades shouted.

"She killed herself doing it." Nox crossed her arms and frowned.

Sol pretended not to be shocked of the news, memories of Freya rushed through her mind. The thought that she had given her life for the war sent guilty shivers down her spine.

Hades looked at his remaining forces. Scylla, Da Ji, Ares, Thanatos, Sol, and Nox. Ao Kuang was standing next to him.

"Okay…We spread out. This is our LAST stand. We try and kill as many as we can, if we lose this war, we won't go down without a fight. Do everything in your power to kill them. NO MERCY!" Hades said sternly.

The Gods of Chaos nodded their heads; they all left the room to go find their enemies. Ao Kuang exited last, he looked back at Hades.

"Kill Nemesis…You already know she's Ares's weakness. Make sure they don't come in contact, plus…I'm pretty sure you have a little grudge with her anyways." Hades frowned; Ao Kuang nodded his head, and left the room.

Leaving Hades alone with his thoughts.

"Oh…This is going to be quite the blood bath." He chuckled.

Halfway up Mt. Olympus…

Ares and Da Ji watched as the Norse, Egyptian, and Chinese-Japanese Armies swept through everything, villages, cities, fortresses, outposts, towns, and outlands.

"This is just great." Da Ji said sarcastically.

"It really is. And so is that." Ares pointed at the white stairs that led up the mountain, both the Gods spotted the New Order making their way up.

"Shit. Go back up. Go back up!" Ares began to run up the mountain again, he sprinted up the steps and made it to the top level of the mountain within seconds; he closed another Golden Gate behind him.

Da Ji watched as Ares disappeared above the clouds, she only scoffed and began to do parkour up the mountain.

"There! It's that fox Goddess!" Odin yelled, leading the New Order gods.

Rama shot arrows at the locks of the gate; Nemesis ran forward and broke them open.

"Alright…Split up. This level of the mountain has lots of open areas and gardens you can encounter our enemies in, so stay alert." Rama announced, next thing he knew, everyone ran off to finish of their enemies.

The Avatar sighed, Odin behind him. He opened up the door to a large building with a large table, chandeliers and dark corners. The two Gods walked in slowly.

Rama armed his bow; he observed the clean table and statues of armor that were in the room. Just then, he heard a faint sound above him. Rama looked up; startled…The chandelier was moving side to side ever so slightly.

"We're not alone in here." Odin held his spear tightly.

"You're right…We better get out of here." Rama murmured, worry in his voice.

Suddenly, a figure dropped down on top of him and began to slash his throat. The Avatar quickly hit the figure with his bow and then rolled away, holding his bloody throat.

"Guh…What the…" Rama glared at the figure, it was none other than Da Ji.

"Think you can get away that easily?" She smirked, and appeared right above Rama in the blink of an eye.

"AHH! GUAHAHA…GAH! NO-ANGH! Guh….Gchl…" Rama's screams and gargles echoed through the room, Da Ji had slashed his throat clean open, blood squirting out like a water fountain.

"NO! RAMA!" Odin summoned his ravens to surround him, he quickly lifted off into the air to land down on Da Ji, but something slammed him out of the air and into the wall.

"HANGH!" Odin grunted as he got crushed into the wall by a hound, it was Scylla.

"We meet again Odin…and I'm afraid my orders are to have no mercy…" She laughed as she emerged from underground, her hound biting down on Odin's ribcage.

"Goodbye Odin!" Scylla sent forth two hounds to constrict Odin completely and began to drain him of his energy and oxygen. Da Ji got up off of Rama's body and cleaned her claws on his pants.

"Wow Scylla…I'm impressed." She said seductively, Scylla smiled and raised her hand in the air, it began to glow green.

"Time to finish him off." Scylla scoffed, and threw a spell that summoned a circle of acid below Odin, the circle exploded, devouring and killing him in a slow and painful, acidic death.

"NOO-CURSE YOU SCYLLA! C-Curse…Yo..u…." Odin's body fell apart, green foam emerging from his mouth. He slumped down on the wall, lifeless.

"Nice work." Da Ji high-fived Scylla, the two walked out the building with no injuries, it was a swift and easy encounter.

In a great dining room of Olympus…

"AAHH!" Skadi yelled as she flew through a wall and landed on her side, not too far away from a balcony.

"Gh…Come on Sol…We can talk about this…" She coughed. The Goddess steadily got back on her feet and held her ice spear tightly.

An angry and fiery Sol flew through the hole that Skadi made, fireballs in her hands.

"You abandoned me…Told everyone to avoid or try and kill me…The New Order rejected me!" Sol yelled angrily. She then threw her two fireballs.

"SHIT!" Skadi rolled to the side and managed to dodge one of the fireballs, but the second one hit right in front of her, exploding and causing her to fly back and land on her stomach.

"Gh...Fine! If you want it to be like this…Then so be it." Skadi spat on the ground nearby and fixed her hair behind her ear.

Sol frowned and threw more fireballs that Skadi successfully blocked using ice.

The Winter Goddess quickly countered by throwing two icy spears at the Sun Goddess, who only managed to dodge one of them, the other hit her right in the shoulder.

"GR!" She angered, and flew forward, looking like a fiery meteorite. Skadi and Sol blocked each other's hits in a fight of Ice vs Fire.

Sol flew over Skadi and tried to throw a fiery punch to her opponent's back, but found it to be blocked by a cushion of snow that Skadi created for a shield.

"HUHPH!" She bashed Sol right in the chest with a powerful Ice Punch, making her fly back a bit. Sol recovered and flew up into the air; she launched two fireballs at Skadi, who blocked them both with Ice Shields.

Sol yelled out in anger and powered up. An angry inferno of fire burned around her body.

Skadi began to sweat.

"Her power tripled...No...Quadrupled! Goddamn it.."

Sol stopped powering up, and panted heavily. She cupped her hands behind her, a small fireball charged in between them.

"What the hell? Hmph. FINE!"

Skadi put both of her hands out in front of her, and brought them close together. Ice and Snow began to revolve them.

"Are you stupid? Cold never wins over heat!" Sol laughed, the ball of fire growing larger in between her hands.

"Gr-BE QUIET! I'm about to prove you wrong!" Skadi shrieked back. The Ice and Snow around her hands was moving much faster.

"HA! We'll see about that. EAT THIIS!" Sol brought her hands forward, and let out a powerful yell.

"HHHAAAAAAAAAAA!"

The huge beam of fire blasted out of Sol's hands, charging straight towards Skadi.

"GGHHAAAAAAAAAAAHH!" Skadi unleashed her Blizzard Beam. Ice, Snow, and Water fired out from her hands. As soon as the two lasers made contact, tons of steam emerged from in between. Shrouding the area in vapor.

"WHAT?! HOW!?" Sol angrily shouted, her fire beam was being pushed back.

"HELL NO! HIYAAH!" The Sun Goddess yelled, she multiplied her power again. A large fiery aura was loudly burning around her.

"NNGHH-HAANNGHAHH!" Skadi multiplied her power too, an icy, frigid aura crackled around her.

"GH-GAAHHH!" Sol cried out, she was in pain.

"Sol? STOP INCREASING YOUR ENERGY! You'll strain yourself!" Skadi yelled out to the other Goddess, but in doing so; she broke her guard.

Sol's fiery laser pushed back Skadi's ice beam. The Winter Goddess tried to fire back, but it was already too late, she had lost her chance.

"HUUAHHHH! AHH! GRAAANGHH!" Skadi wailed, she flailed around, Sol's fire beam hitting her directly.

The Goddess fell to the ground, the laser boring into her. The ground underneath her cracked and caved in. Skadi did her best to block the attack with her arms, but it was no use.

"YES! HAHA! DIIEEEE!" Sol once again increased her power, the beam became stronger.

"AGH!"

Sol abruptly stopped firing; she doubled over in midair, holding her gut.

Skadi laid on the ground, her forearms in front of her face. Her clothes were burnt off, only a few shreds of her undershirt remained. Her bra was easily visible.

"I..I told you you'd wear yourself out..." Skadi coughed, she slowly stood back up.

The Winter Goddess felt Sol's power spike up once again.

"SHUT UP AND TAKE THIS!" She threw a massive fire ball that Skadi managed to dodge.

"Alright! Try this on for size!" She threw a large icicle at Sol, distracting her and causing her to dodge it.

Sol fell for the bait as Skadi had enough time to summon an Icicle Storm above her, bombarding her in sharp ice shards and heavy snow.

"GAH! NOOO!" Sol fired up once again, shooting a fireball at Skadi, taking her by surprise.

"Shit!" The Goddess tried to block the fireball, and barely managed to do it, but it still burned her arms.

Sol's fist became engulfed in fire. She angrily charged forward like a meteor.

Skadi surrounded her hand in ice and water, she managed to catch Sol's fist.

"HAA!" Skadi threw The Sun Goddess over her, making her fly up into the air, giving her a chance to throw a fast Ice Spear into her opponents back.

"GAAH!" Sol squealed, she turned and strained her power again, making her stronger and hotter.

She fired a quick shot of fire that Skadi couldn't react to in time.

"FHUH!" Skadi busted through the balcony and nearly fell off the side of the mountain, down into the water below.

"THIS IS IT! IT'S OVER FOR YOU!" Sol yelled. She flew forward and grabbed Skadi, burning her up; she then flew full speed down into the water below, the poor Ice Goddess in her arms.

Sol plummeted into the water; it evaporated around her as she entered.

"GH! DIE!" Sol began to try and drown Skadi, but it wasn't that easy. She felt her energy spark up.

"You used all your major power early in the fight...BAD IDEA!"

A bright blue aura sparkled around Skadi, within seconds, all the water around the Goddess' became solid ice.

"Come on! Bring it!" Skadi began to pummel Sol. Punching, forcing, jabbing, stabbing, thrusting, hitting, throwing, and launching ice at her.

"AAH! Stop it! STOP IT NOW!" Sol angered once again, she grabbed Skadi and burned her again. She lifted her up above her head.

"Damn it…" Skadi groaned as she felt Sol's hands get hotter. In the blink of an eye, she shot out of the water, the beam of fire burning into her back. The ice below exploded in a magnificent detonation of snow.

Skadi landed on her back, she was completely burned and scorched. Wearing only her pants, boots, and bra, which had one of the straps burned off, she staggered around to get back up.

Sol flew overhead and frowned.

"Remember what you said about using up all my power?" Sol asked.

Skadi's skin was charred and burned. Black marks of ash and soot covered her body. Her dirty bra was tinted with black marks. Her entire body ached with a stinging pain.

"Yeah..." She paused to cough, it sounded rough and dry. "I remember..."

"Well...You were wrong."

Skadi felt the pressure in the area become unbearable. Suddenly, the amount of heat The Goddess felt was unbelievable.

Sweat ran down her body, tons of droplets fell to the ground from her jawline and the tip of her nose. It got into her eyes, the burn she felt caused her to roughly rub them.

"AGH! SOL! W-WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Skadi cried out, she looked up into the dark sky, a bright torch above her.

"SUPER….NOVAA!" Sol yelled, from high up in the sky, humongous bursts of fire plummeted and rained down on top of Skadi.

All the blasts came down so fast, that they cause a shockwave that shook the mountain. Suddenly, a large and bright explosion went off, expanding through the air from Skadi. It was huge, nearly blowing up the entire top of the mountain.

All the Gods on the hill felt a deep surge of heat as the wave from Sol's power ran through the area.

She panted desperately, as the smoke cleared, she looked down at Skadi.

"N-No…No way…THERE'S NO WAY!" Sol cried out. There she was:

Skadi, with a weak shield of ice and snow around her.

Half of her face was gone, just skull and burned flesh. Her body scorched and covered with cauterized wounds. You could see her ribcage, her lung moving around inside there, with burned and dry flesh surrounding the open wound.

All her clothes were gone. Sol couldn't believe it. Skadi was clinging onto life. But she didn't want that, and she was about to fix it.

"NO! I WANT YOU DEAD! GH….GR….GAH…..COME HERE! FEEL MY FIERY FIST DECIMATE WHAT'S LEFT OF YOUR PITIFUL BODY!" Sol yelled out in the most anger any God has ever been in.

She flew down, breaking the sound barrier for the first time, with her fist out in front of her, set on Skadi's skull.

Yet again, a fiery explosion went off. As the flames died down, and the smoke cleared, Sol crouched down on one knee. Her fist cracked into the ground.

She breathed heavily, when she opened her eyes, Skadi's skull was missing. She removed her fist and looked at her body, it was missing a head.

The Sun Goddess had crushed and evaporated it, only dry blood and scorched pieces of her skull were left.

"Ha…Ha…Ha…Good riddance...Bitch…" Sol exhaled; she looked up at the night sky, and sighed. Suddenly, she let out a small yelp.

Her eyes rolled back into her head as she fell forward, unconscious; her body recovering from the enormous swelling of her energy.

The Sky Pillar…

Nemesis looked around, observing everything. The ground was solid gray concrete, with designs, engravings, and pictures drawn on them.

There were six pillars in front of her, three on each side. It all led up to a short set of stairs that ended up at a small building that had a magnificent view of the ocean below.

"Awilix, go look over there, in that garden." Nemesis pointed at a small garden that was surrounded by a hedge wall. It had flowers and two sculptures in front of a large water fountain inside of it.

"Okay…I'll go. But be careful!" Awilix brought up before running off towards the large fountain.

Nemesis turned to the six pillars, they had chains on them, and large sculptures of eagles with their beaks open at the top.

"This is where Fenrir was bound…and where the Nemean Lion was chained as well." Nemesis said to herself.

Nemesis stepped on a broken chain, and frowned. "Well…Temporarily."

Just then, Ares blasted out of the door of the building ahead of the stairs, his eyes widened and jaw dropped.

"HUH!? N…N-Nemesis? Is that you!?" Ares stammered, he stepped back and rubbed his eyes.

Nemesis dropped her sword. "Oh my gods…Ares…..Honey!" The Goddess began to walk forward, her hand out for her husband.

Suddenly, two flashes, one teal and the other indigo, came in between the couple. It was Ao Kuang and Nox.

"Don't take another step my dear daughter…" Nox had her hand out, it was shrouded in darkness.

"I would advise you to stand your ground soldier." Ao Kuang warned Ares, his sword out in front of him.

"Ao Kuang…Switch with me. Trial by combat." Nox smirked. Ao Kuang nodded his head and smiled.

Nox walked up to Ares and nodded her head.

"She is the enemy. Don't interfere."

Ares grit his teeth in frustration. "But…She's my wife! I haven't seen her in so long! You can't just expect me to-"

"That doesn't matter anymore! If you see her losing…You do nothing. Understand?" Nox took off her visor and stared at Ares with her own eyes.

The War God's jaws dropped as he gazed at Nox's face. He had never seen her without her visor.

Her eyes were the color of white diamonds, they had a silver shine, and her black pupil looked large, due to her seeing darkness all the time.

She had a small and chiseled nose. Light colored skin, peach lips, long eye lashes, perfect eyebrows. Short white hair at the sides of her head, but longer hair ran down her back.

"Y-Yes…I-I understand…Ma'am." Ares stepped back and placed his hands by his side. Nox nodded her head and snapped her fingers; her visor appeared over her eyes in one dark flash.

She stood at the top of the stairs, Ares next to her; the Goddess of the Night clapped her hands.

Nemesis picked up her blade and flexed.

"I'll make this quick…" Ao Kuang grinned; he quickly surrounded himself in dragons and went invisible.

"Not this again..." Nemesis braced herself.

Ao Kuang appeared behind her and fired his dragons from his blade, sending her flying forward.

Nemesis recovered with a swift roll, she skid across the ground and placed her hand out on the ground to stop herself.

She looked up at Ao Kuang, her visor flashed purple.

"HIYAH!" The Goddess turned into a purple blur as she dashed forward; she kneecapped Ao Kuang and began to swing her blade out in front of her.

Sparks flew everywhere as Nemesis and Ao Kuang repeatedly clashed blades. Ares watched carefully, he could tell both fighters were being cautious. One fluke and the fight could end in an instant.

Nemesis blocked Ao Kuang's swift attack and then back kicked him, sending him staggering back.

"Ha…Ha…" Ao Kuang breathed heavily as he recovered; he shot forth a dragon from his blade at his opponent.

"Not this time." Nemesis' visor flashed. In the blink of an eye, she slashed through the attack and kept running forward.

"WHAT!?" Ao Kuang yelled, in a fit of anger, he shot forth more dragons like a bullet-storm.

The Goddess stopped running and summoned her shield bubble around herself. The dragons struck the shield and dissipated on impact.

"Gh….Come on…" Nemesis held on tightly, her shield bubble began to crack and fracture, purple beams hitting Ao Kuang from the deflect effect of the shield.

"GAH!" Her shield exploded, the dragons diminished as she surged with power.

"No way! How did you block my dragons?!" Ao Kuang stood in shock, feeling the rise in Nemesis' energy. It gave her the perfect chance to dash forward and kick him into a pillar.

Ao Kuang got back up and began to block Nemesis' attacks, he crouched low and slashed her thigh, but she quickly countered by cutting him across the chest.

Nemesis landed a swift and deep cut across Ao Kuang's torso, but the dragon king landed a huge attack, he thrusted his sword into Nemesis's chest, the attack went clean through.

"ANGH! GKCL! GAH!" Nemesis gagged, she spat out blood into Ao Kuang's face.

"Haha!" Ao Kuang laughed in Nemesis's face, but the Goddess punched him in the jaw, making him stagger back.

Nemesis dashed forward and traded hits with her enemy, Ao Kuang blocked a thrust attack, then a side attack, but she was too fast this time.

The Goddess stuck her blade down on Ao Kuang's shoulder, and then forced him into the ground.

Ao Kuang fell on his side, Nemesis raised her blade in the air, but when she slammed it down, Ao Kuang wasn't there.

"Wha…TAUH!" Blood flew out of Nemesis's mouth as The Dragon King stabbed her in the back. The Goddess dropped her blade and held the sword that was sticking out of her stomach, she tried to push it back, but in doing so, she cut her hands.

"I'm not going down so EASILY!" Nemesis yelled, a bright purple aura sparked up around her, Ao Kuang's heart skipped a beat at the sudden burst in power.

The Goddess of Vengeance elbowed Ao Kuang in the teeth, and then pushed him back. Nemesis summoned her blade in her hand as she began to strike with all her strength, and landed three deep gauges on her enemy, causing him deep bleeding.

"Shit!" Ao Kuang stepped back, but Nemesis wasn't letting up, she charged forward and kept attacking, Ao Kuang struggling to block everything.

He summoned two dragons to attack Nemesis, but she created her shield to destroy them. She out-bursted in energy again, sending Ao Kuang onto his back.

Nemesis dashed toward him and tried to strike him when he was down, but the Dragon King teleported to the side. She turned and went for a huge attack, but it missed, and her blade struck the ground with a loud bang, the ground underneath it shattered.

Ao Kuang quickly stabbed Nemesis in the ribcage and pierced her lung; he pushed his opponent down into the ground. Nemesis gargled on her own blood, it splattered and gushed out onto the floor; she managed to create her bubble shield to push Ao Kuang away with the detonation.

She grabbed Ao Kuang's katana from inside her ribcage and then threw it at him like a knife. It struck him in the leg, making him fall on one knee.

"This is it! DIE!" Nemesis lifted up into the air, her weights around her. A purple flame drained Ao Kuang's energy, making him feel weak and slow. Two bright orbs revolved around Nemesis, giving her strength and shields.

She dashed toward Ao Kuang, and then jumped up into the air. A loud and horrible gnashing sound could be heard.

"Gh….Gckl…Nh..Gauh…ha…" Blood seeped out of Ao Kuang's mouth, his face was emotionless. He was on his knees, his arms out in front of him, katana on the ground.

Nemesis's blade was stuck into the top of Ao Kuang's back, it went down through his body, ripping through his heart, organs, intestines, and coming out through the bottom of his pelvis. It was as if a sword had replaced his spine.

Ares stood with his jaws dropped, Nox was shaking her head.

"AH!" Nemesis struggled to remove her blade from Ao Kuang's back, but she finally gruesomely ripped it out, The Dragon King's body fell forward, limp and dislocated. Nemesis held her bloody sword tightly; she glared at her mother.

"Mother…Let…Me see…My husband." Nemesis said sternly.

Nox let out a small laugh. "Do you think you scare me? Sure you shattered Ao Kuang's spine and forced your sword down his into body...But you don't intimidate me."

Ares stepped forward. "Nox! Let me hold her…Please…"

Nox looked down, she frowned ever so slightly.

"...No."

She reached her hand out towards Nemesis, magic made her visor disappear.

"What? WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" Ares reached to stop whatever Nox was doing, but she was too fast. Nox trapped Ares in a sphere of darkness, preventing escape.

"I want you to see your wife's beautiful face when she dies." Nox grinned.

Nemesis's eye burned up with an angry purple flame, a powerful, surging aura of power surrounded her. She dashed forward towards her mother, ready for the kill.

"An impressive amount of power Nemesis! BUT IT'S NOTHING COMPARED TO ME!" Nox laughed in an evil tone, a straight laser of dark energy struck Nemesis in the chest.

The magic was too strong; she stopped Nemesis in her tracks and made her fall down on her knees.

"NOX! NOO! LET ME OUT OF HERE! NOW!" Ares yelled out in anger. His eyes filled with rage.

Nox smiled as she watched Nemesis struggle and wince as she tried to escape her magic. But it was no use; Nox looked her daughter in the eyes.

"Such a pity that I have to kill you my dear…I am very sorry Nemesis. But now your time in this world is up. I wish I could make this quick…But it's a process."

Nemesis grit her teeth in anger, she released all her power, unleashing all her potential, pouring out every drop of energy she had in her body.

Nox stepped back, the veins on her arm could be seen as she angered.

"Hmph...Hm..GH! OKAY THEN! I guess I'll just have to use up more energy!" Nox yelled out. Black smoke emerged all around her, it engulfed her completely, before she began to glow with an indigo light.

"GIIAAHH!"

Ares fell to his knees, his head hurt, and he couldn't breathe. Nox's power had multiplied hundreds of times over. With the combined power of the Fire Giant Rune; The Chaos Gods had the power advantage over the New Order Gods by a lot.

"This is going to hurt…A lot. Goodbye now." Nox smiled at Nemesis one last time. She extended her hand outwards, and after a few seconds, she began to suck her daughter's life force out of her body.

"NOOOOOO!" Ares yelled out, he slammed against the dark bubble Nox was keeping him in.

The Goddess of the Night laughed as she kept draining Nemesis of her life, a dark beam coming from Nemesis's chest to Nox's hand.

"GAAAAAHHHGH! HNNNGHH….AAAANGGHH! NNHHH-GHH…HGGNGH…DAAAGHNGHAAAHHH!" Nemesis' death screams echoed through the mountain, music to Nox's ears, and torture to Ares.

She finally finished. The killing beam disappeared.

Nemesis' beautiful purple eyes no longer sparkled; they looked like that of a dead fish, foggy and blank. Her skin was pale, not soft and creamy; her face had no emotion, and her body was numb.

She fell forward with a thud. A pool of blood was forming around her lifeless body from her fight with Ao Kuang.

Nox looked at her gloved hand, it had a purple radiance. "Ha…That was fun."

She deactivated the bubble that Ares was in, he ran down the stairs and held Nemesis's body in his arms, he hunched over and began to cry.

"Aw…Ares…Did you really care that much?" Nox cooed.

Ares slowly looked up at her. A deep energy bubbling up from inside him. He summoned his sword and shield.

"Nox...You'll...Pay."

He charged forward, the ground below him cracking and breaking with every thundering step. Nox staggered back, in complete shock.

"TASTE MY REVENGE! AAHHHH-GUH! WHAT THE-"

A purple fog wrapped around Ares' throat.

It was Hades, hovering above the entire scene; he turned his hand into a fist, tightening the grip on Ares's throat.

"GAH-GK-Guh…" Ares gagged, he couldn't breathe. He looked at Nemesis's body, his dear wife, which he soon would be joining in the afterlife of the Gods.

Hades pulled his arm back, cracking Ares's neck, instantly killing him. The pressure in the air immediately died down.

The God of the Underworld himself landed in front of Nox.

"Did you HAVE to kill him?" She crossed her arms.

"I told Ao Kuang to keep them separated! Ares would be useless is he'd seen his wife! Even more if he saw her die to her own mother." Hades grunted.

"I guess you're right. Nemesis unfortunately killed Ao Kuang…But we can kill them ALL with that power of yours." Nox grinned.

"Yeah, I just checked on Thanatos, he was killing some weak little Mayan Goddess, having a little fun with her. Let's go find the others." Hades descended into the underworld, Nox turned into a black smoke and made her way through the air.

The Small Garden…

Awilix reached for her spear, but Thanatos stepped on her wrist, instantly breaking it.

"AAHH!" Awilix cried out, her body was covered in deep gauges and cuts, blood seeping out of everywhere.

"Ugh…What a bloody mess you are." Thanatos picked Awilix up by the back of the neck and threw her into the large fountain.

Awilix gasped in surprise, the water was shallow, and it had pennies and dimes in it. The cold water felt slightly relieving to her, but not for long.

Thanatos stood over Awilix, scythe in hand. "Well…This was probably the funniest fight I've had today! You barely touched me. Except for this little annoying wound." Thanatos held his shoulder; it had a deep stab wound in the center of it, causing discomfort and a bit of pain when he moved it around.

Awilix cowered in fear; she held her hands out in front of her as Thanatos lifted up his scythe.

"Welp. It was fun! Time to die." Thanatos chuckled, he brought down his scythe on Awilix's chest, cutting it clean open, revealing her insides.

The small Goddess yelped out in pain, blood shot out of her mouth, and tons more erupted and spilled from her chest like a pierced gallon of milk. But she was still alive.

"Huh. I guess you're a little tougher than I thought. Well, it's nothing another hit can't fix."

Thanatos hooked Awilix with his scythe, then lifted her up into the air a little, and then slammed her down into the water; crushing and cutting open her heart and chest. Her breasts were separated, her chest was wide open.

Revealing her graphic insides. Her bones were broken, organs all out of place, and intestines tangled and mixed into the fray of flesh and blood.

Thanatos spun his scythe around. He left the garden with a small laugh.

The water turned red with Awilix's blood, she lay in the center of it, nothing short of dead.

Plaza of Mt. Olympus…

Ne Zha hid behind a small market stand in fear, holding his spear tightly and close to his body.

"Oh my gosh…Oh my gosh…I'm gonna die…I'm gonne die!" Ne Zha whispered to himself as he heard the sound of powerful spells and the clashing of blades.

Suddenly, Astrid smashed through the market stand, making Ne Zha yelp out in fear. Astrid quickly regained her footing and looked at Ne Zha through her helmet.

"Ne Zha! MOVE!"

Ne Zha quickly jumped out of the way of a fireball that belonged to Sol. Astrid managed to dodge the fireball as well.

Bellona and Da Ji fiercely slashed their blades against each other, hoping for a lucky hit. Neith and Scylla facing off in a battle of ranged attacks. Morrigan stood in front of Hades in fear, but at the same time a sense of confidence.

"You traitor. You know how we punish traitors." Hades got closer to Morrigan.

"No! Stay away from me!" Morrigan summoned her two other counterparts and then struck Hades with all three spears, effectively stunning him and making him crouch over in pain.

"Gr…Hah…" Hades brushed off the pain, and then seized Morrigan by the throat; he began to lift the helpless goddess into the air.

"You filthy whore…how DARE you betray us! You were so obedient…No wonder…You're nothing more than a useless slut wanting everyone's genitals in your mouth!"

The insult hit Morrigan hard, but it's not like she could start crying when she knew death drew near.

"GET OFF OF HER!" Ne Zha yelled, he grabbed onto Hades with his Armillary Sash and pulled himself forwards for a devastating kick, causing Hades to drop Morrigan and stagger to the side, Ne Zha threw his Universe Ring at Hades, hitting him in the face and stunning him.

"ACK! GH—YOU IDIOTIC CHILD! YOU'VE JUST MADE A GRAVE MISTAKE THAT WILL CAUSE YOU YOUR LIFE!" Hades yelled in rage, he went into the underworld and erupted right under Ne Zha, he seized him by the throat and began to squeeze.

"GAH-GH..LET…ME…G-GO! CAH-UNGH!" Ne Zha managed to croak out, Hades continued to choke him, his gauntlet glowing with a purple Aura.

Astrid and Myra quickly ran towards Ne Zha, in an attempt to save him, but something stopped them.

"Stop right there!" Sol shouted, she fired a fireball at the sisters. Myra's eye flashed blue as she leaped out of the way; Astrid stepped back and tanked the explosion radius of the attack.

Astrid looked at her sister, who looked back. "Let's do this Myra! This hothead needs to cool off…" She took off her helmet and let her hair run loose, she smiled at Sol.

"Permanently."

Astrid threw her helmet at Sol, a move that was not expected from a former Iron Legion Commander. The helmet hit Sol in the forehead, making a loud clanging sound when it bounced off.

"Ouch…" Sol rubbed her forehead in annoyance.

"MYRA! NOW!" Astrid yelled. She began to run towards Hades and Ne Zha, in a last attempt for a rescue. Her sister quickly loaded an arrow into her bow.

Myra took a deep breath. "Alright…I've been practicing controlling this power…" She exhaled as she fired the arrow, hitting Sol with a direct hit. The explosion knocked her out of the air and sent her crashing into the roof of a nearby business building.

Sol abruptly toppled down the roof and fell to the floor.

Astrid watched as Ne Zha struggled to stay alive, kicking and flailing his body around.

"Damn it…Just hang on a little longer!" Astrid yelled, she changed course to Sol, and ran towards her full speed, her longsword in the air.

"UUAAHH!" Astrid leaped into the air and impaled Sol with her sword, making her regurgitate embers from her mouth, burning Astrid's face.

"AAHH! Gh—GAH IT HURTS!" Astrid felt the fire from Sol's body begin to disappear into the air around her, the Goddess of the Sun was making a last attempt to take someone down with her.

"NO! DIE ALREADY!" Astrid ripped out her sword and turned away to avoid burning her face, she then closed her eyes and forced her sword into Sol's head.

Myra's eyes widened. "ASTRID! GET AWAY FROM HER!"

Astrid opened her eyes; the tip of her blade was glowing hot, as if it was freshly forged. Sol was glowing, and she was glowing brightly, Astrid's heart stopped.

"SHIT!" Astrid yelled out, she turned to run as far as she could.

A fairly large and hot explosion went off behind Astrid, making her lift up into the air and crash into Myra.

"Ugh…Hey sis...That felt like being inside a furnace…" Astrid wiped her sweat away.

Myra's face brightened, she wrapped her arms around her sister for a hug.

"Sister! I'm so glad you're—OW! Oh my goodness your armor is hot as hell!" Myra threw Astrid off of her and blew on her hands.

"Yeah, sorry. It's kinda hard for steel not to get hot around fire. WAIT! NE ZHA!" Astrid took off towards Hades, who had Ne Zha in his grasp.

"How are you still even breathing? Sheesh." Hades asked.

"Gh…S-Small…Throat…..Young….Air sacs….." Ne Zha choked.

"Oh. Well then I guess I'll have to snap your neck then."

"OH NO YOU'RE NOT DOING THAT!" Astrid picked up Ne Zha's spear and stabbed Hades in the stomach with it.

"GAH! ANOTHER INTERFERENCE?! GO AWAY!" Hades slapped Astrid with a powerful backhand attack, sending her smashing into the side of a bar.

Hades turned to Ne Zha. "Enough play time. It's nap time."

Hades slammed down his staff, sending forth a lethal wave of purple fog forward at Ne Zha, engulfing him entirely.

"NOO!" Morrigan cried out, startling Myra.

"What? What's wrong?"

"Ne Zha…He's dead. That was Hades' Soul Smoke…It kills and devours the soul of anything that is engulfed within it…" Morrigan began to sob, Myra confused and frightened.

It was true, Ne Zha lay there with white eyes and no pupils, his skin pale, spit drooling from his mouth, his body numb and lifeless.

"No…DAMN IT!" Myra got up and shot Hades with an arrow, gaining his attention.

"You want to play too? Get over here." Hades laughed, he fired magic from his staff, Myra dodging multiple of his attacks, but finally getting hit.

"AH! Oh my gods! It hurts so much!" Myra groaned in pain, her body vibrated and pulsed in waves of sharp pain as it glowed with a dark purple aura.

It was Hades's Blight effect.

"NO! I'm not letting you kill anyone else! If you're going to kill anyone…You have to get through me first." Morrigan shouted sternly, Determination in her voice.

"Fine with me." Hades scoffed and descended into the underworld, Morrigan turned into a raven and flew up into the sky before Hades erupted below her.

Morrigan fired a disk of magic at Hades and managed to hit him, stunning him. She landed on the ground firmly and summoned her two other parts, stabbing him with all three spears, stunning him again.

Hades recovered and tried to hit Morrigan with his glowing staff, but she ducked under the attack just in time. She hopped back and prepared for another attack from Hades, which came within the next second.

Hades fired spheres of magic from his staff, The Goddess dodging all of them. She reached out with her bare hand as it began to glow purple.

"Only a fool…Fonders a raven." Morrigan smiled as she fired a projectile of magic from her hand that hit Hades with a direct hit, exploding on impact.

She got cocky and tried to stab Hades with her spear, but Hades grabbed her before she could do anything, and then slammed her into the ground.

"Don't get scared…" Hades laughed as he sent forth his Shroud of Darkness, silencing Morrigan and causing her body to surge with Blight.

Suddenly, Astrid rammed into Hades full strength, making him stagger forward, but the attack was in vain.

Hades struck Astrid with his spear, inflicting her with Blight, and sending her hurdling towards a catapult, not only smashing it into pieces, but accidentally setting it off.

In a Wine Cellar…

A large explosion went off in above Virgil, Jing Wei, and Chang'e, startling all three of them.

"What was that?!" Jing Wei cried.

"Stray catapult projectile…" Virgil looked at her glass of wine.

"Maybe it's a sign to stop drinking and get into the fight." She shrugged.

Jing Wei nodded her head; she chugged down her bottle of Grape Sparkling Water because she's not legal to drink yet, and smiled at Chang'e.

"Did a drink help you relieve some stress?"

"It did…Having some girl time helped me take my mind off of things." Chang'e giggled.

"Well…Try to stay safe…Cause we're getting back into the fray." Virgil grinned and then readied her blade.

Back at the Plaza…

Morrigan fell to the floor, her body radiating with a purple energy. It felt like a rattle snake had bit her a million times in every single centimeter of her body. The poison surged through her veins, killing her.

Hades hovered over The Morrigan, he chuckled an evil chuckle as his staff began to glow.

Myra wearily stumbled over to Astrid, who was laying in the scraps and pieces of wood that used to make up a catapult.

"Sister…Let's go...Get up." Myra helped Astrid regain her footing, she stared back at her as she did so.

"Morrigan…Help her." She mumbled.

Myra looked over at The Morrigan, but she felt that it was already too late.

Hades finally stopped laughing, he glared at The Morrigan.

"Learn what happens to traitors."

Hades' staff absorbed her soul, making her shriek out in pain and agony. Hades laughed maniacally as he watched Morrigan squirm around hopelessly, before going numb.

Her eyes blank, mouth open, body motionless, soul collected and destroyed by Hades.

He turned around and looked at Myra and Astrid, who were still recovering from his powerful magic. He slowly hovered right in front of the two girls, and raised his staff in the air.

"You really think a pair of humans can stand up to me? HA! I think not." Hades laughed, Astrid and Myra stood their ground, but they were filled with fear and still in pain from the magic.

Just then, Hades flew to the side and collapsed to the ground, stunned. It was Chang'e, she stood in front of Hades with angry eyes.

"I came too late to help my other allies…But I will not be late for the humans…You will not harm them!" Chang'e yelled, Hades stood up and scoffed.

"Tsk…Just another weak god in my way again."

Chang'e stood in front of Myra and Astrid, who were both shaking and struggling to stand still.

"Girls…Shake that Blight off and try to help me here…I'm not sure how long I can stand up to Hades…" Chang'e murmured over her shoulder.

Myra had no response; she held her body in pain as the purple aura slowly began to fade away. Astrid slowly nodded in response; she then winced and quickly held her neck in discomfort.

"The humans are weak. They cannot help you. My power is too much even for Gods! What makes you think mere mortals can stand up to me!?" Hades laughed, he went underground and erupted below Chang'e, who gracefully danced out of the way.

She countered with a Crescent Moon Dance, making Hades stagger back, she then threw a disk of magic at him, hitting him in the face.

"AGH! You're so annoying you know that!" Hades yelled, his staff powered up in his hand.

"Come here!" The God swung his staff at Chang'e, who ducked and struck Hades with a moon blade, she then shrouded her hand in a white fog.

"Stay back!" Chang'e punched Hades in the gut, making him fly back and crash into the ground. He recovered and went into the underworld.

Chang'e scanned the ground for a purple shroud in the ground. It was right below her.

"AHH!" She cried out, and was barely able to jump out of the way. Hades appeared in front of her moments after.

Chang'e tried to cut him with her moon blades, but he blocked every attack using his staff.

"HA!" Chang'e managed to get an attack through Hades's guard; she repeatedly slashed him with her magical blades, until Hades began to block her attacks again.

The Moon Goddess glared at Hades angrily, she performed a Moonflower Dance, making white magic and flower petals fly everywhere, purifying Myra and Astrid, and making Hades' flail his arms in the air, trying to swat away the flower petals.

"AGH! I HATE FLOWERS!"

"I LOVE THEM!" Chang'e threw another Waxing Moon Ultimate at Hades, he slouched over with an infuriating pain in his waist, and the moon goddess saw a clear opening.

Chang'e slammed down on Hades with a Moon Blade, crushing him into the ground, right in front of her feet.

Hades groaned in pain as he slowly tried to get back up, but he then felt a sharp blade on his back, he looked up to see Astrid with her blade on him, and Myra aiming a blue arrow at his skull.

"Oh please…You all just got lucky."

Hades suddenly spiked upwards, darkness all around him. Chang'e put her arms out in front of her and quickly jumped back.

Unfortunately for Astrid and Myra though, Blight surged through their bodies once again, the two released blood curdling screams.

"AHH!"

"AUH!"

Black veins were visible all over their bodies. The two sisters collapsed to the ground, unconscious this time.

"NO!" Chang'e cried out, Hades only laughed and glared at Chang'e.

"You're done for."

Hades quickly erupted under Chang'e, too fast for her to dance away; she collapsed under Hades' power.

The God of the Underworld wasted no time, he was completely merciless, he silenced Chang'e with his shroud of magic, Blight surged through the Moon Goddess's body, she lied there in shock with her mouth and eyes wide open.

"Another kill for Hades." The God said to himself, he slammed down on Chang'e; killing her using his Soul Smoke.

The Goddess lay there, motionless and pale. Myra was unconscious, but Astrid wasn't, she lay still, making Hades think that she had died because of the Blight.

"Hah! This is going to be easier than I thought." Hades laughed, he came up to his allies.

"I'm going back up to my temple! I haven't finished watching the carpenters paint by new balcony." He chuckled, and he flew up into the air, when he ran into Thanatos.

"Oh hey boss, what's going on?"

"The last of the New Order gods are down there. Kill them for me will you? The end of this war draws near."

"We still have to kill their armies though."

"They'll surrender immediately as soon as they learn all their gods have been killed. For now, just finish these last one's off."

Thanatos nodded his head in understanding; Hades flew past him and up to his temple at the top of the mountain.

The Hand of Death observed the fight, to him; The Morrigan, Ne Zha, Chang'e, Myra, and Astrid were dead. But the sisters weren't.

Thanatos touched down in a shroud of darkness, black fog covered the area.

"Haha…This is all that's left? My EX girlfriend…and her girlfriend…Huh…Wow. That's just amazing." Thanatos laughed.

Bellona slashed aside Daji's blades; she kicked her into a wall and then looked around.

"No way…Where is everyone?! Neith?!"

The Weaver of Fate herself back flipped into the air, she landed next to Bellona and fired a Spirit Arrow at a Broken Weave that Scylla was standing on.

A white explosion sent her crashing into a cart full of barrels.

Neith and Bellona stood back to back, surrounded by Daji, Scylla, and Thanatos. Just then, a profound laugh was heard.

It was Nox, she stood at the edge of the Plaza. She stepped over Chang'e dead body, and smiled at the sight of The Morrigan and Ne Zha.

"Wow…We really outdid ourselves today! Good word Gods!" Nox clapped her hands, Daji and Scylla whooped and cheered for themselves, while Thanatos only nodded his head in approval.

"So now it's only you two. Nobody else to help you, not even the two humans! I saw them both dead as well." Nox smiled.

Bellona and Neith couldn't believe what they were hearing, everyone was dead. The war was lost.

Behind Nox…

Astrid grit her teeth harder than ever before, trying not to yell out from the pain she was in. Droplets of sweat dripped off the tip of her nose and bangs.

"Gh…C-Come on…Wake up…..Myra…Please…...Damn it…" Astrid's body ached with a purple aura, powerful, sharp surges of heavy pain ran through everywhere.

Astrid suddenly heard something; someone was trying to call out to her. She slowly turned her head to look around.

There she was, Astrid spotted a green light shining within the darkness of an alley, and it was Virgil, her white hood over her head, reflecting light from her neon green eyes.

"Psst!" Virgil signaled at Astrid, whose face lit up with happiness.

She began to point at the roof of a market, she then started to flap her arms as if she was flying, and finally she made pigtails with her hands and put them on either side of her head.

Astrid was profoundly confused, until she then realized what Virgil was trying to say: Jing Wei was on top of the roof of the market…But doing what?

"Ugh…What happened—" Myra began to moan.

"SHH! Myra…Be quiet…Don't freak out…But everyone is dead. Look in front of you." Astrid said through grit teeth.

Myra struggled to move, but she saw them, New Order gods dead on the ground.

"Oh my gods…Oh my gods! OH MY-"

"MYRA! Shut up! Please be quiet…Neith and Bellona are still alive…and Jing Wei is on top of that marketplace…We still have a chance…" Astrid whisper-yelled, she held the hand of her crying sister.

"We'll get through this little sis…I promise."

Back to the encounter…

"Wow, I can't believe we really did it. All of us! Together! We are the official rulers of the world! Free to do whatever we want with humanity and everything with it! We will all live like the gods that we truly are!" Nox laughed with happiness in her voice, the thought of it made Daji and Scylla all giddy. Thanatos was already thinking of how he would terrorize the Pantheons.

"Well…I guess we can go ahead and kill these two, and after that…WE HAVE OFFICIALLY…WON…THE WAR—"

A blue blur phased through Nox, making her stop talking. Her eyes darted around, she slowly put her hands down as blood slowly started to seep out of her mouth and neck.

"Nox? What's wrong? You're bleeding!" Daji exclaimed; Scylla and Thanatos stood there in shock.

Nox's eyes finally landed on Jing Wei, who was standing next to her. Her eyes were closed, but a blue flame was burning out from under her eyelid. Her katana dripped with fresh, warm blood.

Thanatos began to breathe heavily.

"No…Not her again…No…"

Nox touched her face with her hand, her eyes widened.

The Gods watched as Nox's head fell off her neck and splat on the ground.

"M…M-Mom…?" Thanatos dropped his Scythe and kept watching as Nox's headless body fell forward with a loud thud.

"Oh my goodness…It was so fast and swift…" Daji glared at Jing Wei. "Who are you?"

The Young Goddess held her katana at her side. "Why do you care?"

Virgil ran out of the alley and dived towards Astrid and Myra, she smiled as the sisters showed clear happiness towards her.

"Stand still…" Virgil said warmly, she closed her eyes as she held Myra and Astrid's hands.

Her Gem began to glow with a radiant green light. Suddenly, neon green energy engulfed Virgil; the energy moved down her arms and passed onto the two siblings.

Myra and Astrid sighed in relief as they felt Virgil's power heal and purify them, ridding them off Hades's Blight, and getting rid of any pain and discomfort.

The sister's smiled as Virgil opened up her eyes; they were bright green momentarily before returning to their original brown color. She exhaled as she began to fall forward.

"Virgil!" The two sisters cried out, they dived forward and quickly caught her. They then helped her stand.

"Hey…You okay?" Astrid asked.

Virgil massaged the sides of her head with her hands, and then smiled. "Y-Yeah…I'm fine. Are you two okay?"

"Thanks to you, I can tell you're getting used to your power." Myra smiled.

"We all are getting the hang of it aren't we? Hah…Come on. We have to help our only gods that are left."

Bellona stepped to the side as Daji tried to jump on top of her; she grabbed her by the back of the neck and threw her back, the fox landed next to the right Thanatos.

Scylla sent forth her Crush attack, Neith jumped back and dodged the attack. Scylla angered and used her hound to appear next to Neith, who once again dived backwards, leaving Scylla shrouded in a white energy, she also left behind a Broken Weave.

Neith shot the weave, causing another explosion, Scylla landed to the left of Thanatos; she flailed around on the ground as she tried to escape the weave's annoying silk.

Thanatos stared at his mother's corpse, headless, her head and visor mere inches away from the rest of her body.

Bellona and Neith stood next to Jing Wei, weapons at the ready. Just then, Astrid, Virgil and Myra lined up next to them.

"I…I thought you guys were dead!" Neith exclaimed.

"Heh…No, not just yet." Astrid smirked.

Scylla and Daji stood up on either sides of Thanatos. The hand of Death summoned his scythe in his hands.

A standoff. Six Verses Three.

"Hmph…You little winged bitch…You…You killed my mother….." Thanatos slowly grunted; his voice deep and suspenseful.

Jing Wei narrowed her eyes. "I don't care. You killed my best friend…and his sister. And for the record, you and I hate each other. It doesn't matter."

"Doesn't matter…Doesn't…matter…DOESN'T MATTER!? I WILL FUCKING DESTROY YOU! I'LL TEAR YOU APART! I'LL CHERISH YOUR WARM, BEAUTIFUL RED BLOOD SLOWLY DRIPPING DOWN MY SCYTHE!"

Jing Wei was scared of Thanatos for the first time in a while, the perfect sworn enemies.

"Hey guys..?" Myra said.

Virgil and Astrid turned to her.

"If we don't make it out of this fight...I just wanted to say goodbye."

Virgil and Astrid exchanged looks, they shook their heads. "We're making it out of this."

Myra shrugged, she was scared.

"Just in case..?"

Virgil sighed. The three friends came together for a final hug.

"I love you both...Astrid and Myra. You were really some great allies, and friends. I'll surely remember the BlackWell sisters if I make it out of this." Virgil smiled.

"We love you too Virgil. We'll surely remember the brave, courageous Blonde-Haired Explorer."

Thanatos finished letting out his rage.

"ENOUGH HUGGING!"

Everyone got into position as the Hand of Death rushed forward, Scylla and Daji alongside him.

The Final Fight.

Thanatos immediately went after her mother's murderer, Virgil helping her. The Hand of Death began to radiate with the scent of death, he sped up and was more swift and brutal.

Jing Wei ran forward and slid in between Thanatos's legs, he spun around with his scythe out in front of him. She ducked to dodge the attack, and then successfully blocked multiple melee attacks from Thanatos, but he suddenly got much faster.

After receiving a swift slash to the stomach, Thanatos angered, he managed to punch Jing Wei square in the face, stunning her, he then upper-cut her into the air with his scythe, gashing up her body.

"AAH!" Jing Wei cried out in pain, she fell on her back and looked at the large and deep cut that went up and down her body.

Thanatos raised his scythe to finish off his opponent, but he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back. He turned to see Virgil firing energy at him from her sword.

"Stupid human." Thanatos threw his scythe at her, who quickly dodged it and fired another laser, hitting him in the face.

"GAH! GR-STOP IT!" Thanatos threw his scythe once more, but after seeing Virgil dodge it once again, he flew up into the air and summoned clones of his scythe, then fired them all down in a large barrage of scythes.

Virgil rolled her eyes. "Give me a break…"

She zipped back and forth on her tippy-toes, swiftly dashing and prancing in between each scythe.

"AAAHHHH!" He yelled out, Thanatos raised his scythe and brought it down to see he hit nothing. Virgil continued to dodge the Gods attacks, until she had to block one of them with her sword, nearly breaking her arm doing so.

She fell onto one knee in exhaustion.

"Time to get you out of the-DAAH!"

Jing Wei rammed into Thanatos full power, she was flying mere inches from the ground, but it made her faster. She cut him through the chest, and then stabbed him clean through the stomach.

She ripped out her blade and then slashed him once again, making a deep, bloody gash. Finally, she brought her katana down on Thanatos' collar bones, harshly sliced to the left across his neck, and bashed him with the hilt.

"Ha..Ha…Ha…AH!" Thanatos staggered back, trying to catch his breath, but it cost him. Jing Wei armed her crossbow and held out with one hand, she fired an explosive bolt that resulted in a direct hit.

The Hand of Death flew off his feet and smashed into the ground.

"Hmph." Jing Wei grunted, she glanced back at Virgil with a smug looking smirk.

*Meanwhile…

Astrid watched as Thanatos himself fell to the ground within a cloud of dust, her face had an evil grin. She turned to help Bellona, who was being strangled to death by Scylla.

"GAH! ASTRID! H-HELP…"

"I'm coming!" Astrid yelled, she threw her longsword forward like a spear, impaling Scylla through her ribcage.

"AAHHH!" Scylla shrieked, she let go of Bellona and ripped out the sword. "Ugh…So heavy…HAH!"

The sword hit the ground with a loud clanging sound; Bellona summoned her shield and ran forward, hitting aside Scylla's hounds.

"GET DOWN HERE!" Bellona yelled angrily, Scylla was high up out of melee reach using her hounds.

"Astrid, do that thing again." Bellona said sternly.

"What thing? Oh. Alright…" Astrid ran forward and quickly picked up her sword, she hit one of Scylla's hounds aside; another one came at her as her left gauntlet lit up with a red fire.

A loud punching noise rang through Bellona's ears, another one of Scylla's hounds retreated away from Astrid with a half broken face, she had punched it.

"Holy shit.." Bellona watched Astrid throw the blade up once again, this time it went straight through Scylla's chest.

"GAH-AAAHH!" Scylla cried out, nearly busting her enemies' eardrums as she released high pitch screams of agony, she fell to the ground with a loud thud.

Astrid ran forward and ripped her blade out of Scylla's chest; Bellona stood next to her and grinned.

"Sorry Scylla…Play times over."

"Not yet it isn't…"

Scylla suddenly grabbed both her opponents and smashed them into the ground next to her.

Astrid felt herself unable to breathe, she tried to, but her lungs wouldn't listen. Her eyes were wide open, her pupils were small and her mouth was wide open. She lay in a large crater; most of the bones in her body shattered and broken.

"Aww…Did I kill you already?" Scylla laughed.

"NO! ASTRID HOLD ON!" Bellona's eye fired up as she got up and ran towards Scylla, who tried to stop her by picking her up with her hounds, but she clearly failed.

One of the hounds was the one that Astrid punched, it couldn't see. Bellona slashed it aside, causing pain for both Scylla and the hound.

Bellona had no mercy; she brought down her blade on the bleeding hound, cutting clean through. Scylla lifted up her tentacle, it had tons of blood and guts pouring out of it, the hound's head was missing.

"Oh…Heh…..GGHHH…..GGGNHGHH…..GAAAHHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

This was by far the worst pain Scylla had ever been in, everyone heard her death scream, Bellona slashed Scylla across the chest, she looked up at The Goddess of War with shocked and teary eyes, but it had no effect on the angry Goddess.

Astrid watched through blurry vision as Bellona slashed up Scylla's body once again, she raised her sword, and turned it into a large bludgeon within a second. She brought it down on Scylla.

A horrible, gut wrenching, ear gnashing, spine chilling crack went out. Bellona lifted up her bludgeon from the huge, graphic pile of flesh and bones. Blood covered the floor all under the Goddess' feet.

Scylla's hounds died with her, they lay there lifeless, rooting out from the messy, splattery mess that was Scylla's body.

Bellona ran over to Astrid, she had tears in her eyes.

"Astrid! Oh my gosh…How do you feel?!"

Astrid couldn't move, Scylla had slammed her into the ground too hard. Her bones were shattered, spine broken.

"B-Bellona…I'm…I'm gonna die…Just end me. Put me out of me misery…Please…"

"No! NO! I'M NOT DOING THAT! I NEVER WILL!" Bellona sobbed.

Astrid swallowed hard, she watched as Bellona ripped off her gauntlet, and held her hand. The warm and soothing feeling made Astrid feel relaxed.

"Don't die Astrid...Please! We can help you!"

Astrid shook her head slowly. "No you can't..."

Suddenly, a loud shriek could be heard.

Bellona turned around abruptly. She tightened her grip on Astrid's hand.

"NO! NEITH! NEITH IM COMING!"

"BELLONA WAIT! WHERE IS MYRA!?" Astrid cried.

Bellona paused; she then had a look off horror on her face.

"Astrid! Daji has her; I'm going over to help them! They're both going to die if I don't get over there!"

"DIE?! NO…NOT MYRA…GH…GAH….I…I won't let her die...NOT HER!" Astrid said through grit teeth, she began to move slowly. She wrapped her fingers around Bellona's hand to test her strength, she wiggled her toes, and moved her arms around.

"No! Astrid stay still!" Bellona gently tried to push Astrid back down.

"No way! Please get off of me...I need to..."

Astrid suddenly heard a scream that was all too familiar. A scream that she had heard once before: When her sister was in danger.

"NOO! MYRA! IM COMING!"

Astrid launched upwards, she hovered in the air with a bright, radiant red aura flaring all around her.

Heavy rocks and boulders flew everywhere, the wind was so strong it could knock someone over. Dust, dirt, sand, and debris obscured everyone's vision. The ground cracked, and the entire area was shaking like a small earthquake.

"What the—"

"Who the hell is that?!"

Thanatos and Jing Wei turned to see what was releasing an amazing amount of energy. Astrid's power was at its fullest. She surpassed her limits, and was yelling out in power. Her voice thundered through the mountain, she clutched her fists and tensed up.

She could fully move again despite a broken body, she felt NO pain, she felt NO exhaustion, and could NOT tire, no matter what happened. Her super strength could kill anything, and her red aura and eye torch burned angrily, and brightly.

Daji grit her teeth, she turned to Neith, who was crying out in pain within her torture device. She was chained to a pillar surrounded with fire, and the chains were burning hot as well.

Myra stood up against a wall, holding her sword weakly; she was heavily injured, clothes drenched with blood, deep cuts and gauges all over her body. Blood dripped down from under her bangs, and down the side of her face.

"I'll have to kill you quickly!"

Daji cut Myra's arm with her claws, making her drop her sword and let out a loud whimper of pain, she was defenseless.

The Fox raised her index blade to Myra's soft, delicate throat, her blade tapping against it; Myra shut her eyes tightly and waited for the end to come.

"I'm going to enjoy seeing that warm, pure red blood of yours squirt out of your throat…Kind of like my own private water fountain of strawberry syrup."

Just then, Myra didn't feel the blade up against her neck anymore, she opened her eyes to see Astrid standing in front of her, blade in hand, Daji on the ground.

"Get behind me!"

Myra did as told; she stood behind her older sister, reminding her of the old days…

Flashback…

"HA! Girls can't fight! Boys are way better than girls! HAHAHA!" A naughty boy with brown hair laughed along with his friends, a small, six year old Myra began to tear up.

"Go away! Why are you guys so mean…"

"Because! Making fun of small little girls is super fun!" The boy laughed, his two friends agreed.

Just then, a seven year old Astrid ran in front of her younger sister, her black hair messy as it ran down her back and shoulders.

"Stay away from her! She's my little sister!" Astrid yelled.

The boys laughed even harder. "HAHA! GIRLS CAN'T FIGHT! BUAHAHAHAH!"

Astrid reached behind her; she grabbed a small wooden dagger that was tucked in her skirt.

"You wanna go ahead and find out?" Astrid held the dagger out in front of her.

The boys didn't bother to respond, they turned to run home to their parents.

Astrid turned to Myra. "Don't listen to those bullies alright? I'm always going to be here for you, no matter what happens!"

Flashback ends…

"No matter what…" Myra said under her breath, but she lost her train of thought due to a loud metallic noise.

Astrid hit aside Daji's left blades, but then got slashed by the right pair; but she didn't even feel the pain. Astrid rammed Da Ji into the wall and raised her blade in the air.

"AAAAHHHH!" Daji yelled out, her arm fell off in one fell swoop. She stared at her left arm; it was missing everything.

Astrid took advantage of Daji's state of shock; she impaled her straight through the gut, making blood gut out through her mouth. She ripped the blade up wards, tearing intestines and internal organs; she ripped the sword out and spun around.

In the blink of an eye, Daji's head fell to the side, next to her arm. The rest of her body fell forward as Astrid moved out of the way.

Bellona cut through Daji's chains; Neith fell into her arms, half dead and very burned up.

*Cue the Sad Music.

"Neith! Neith I'm so sorry…I'm so...Sorry…"

Neith fell to her knees; she looked Bellona in the eyes. "…..Bellona…It's not your fault. I'm fine…"

Bellona hugged Neith, her back was scorched and burned, it was nothing a small hibernation couldn't fix, but not here.

Myra ran forward as Astrid began to lose power, she hugged her beloved sister.

"Astrid…I saw what that monster did to you…That's why I lost focus and began to lose to Daji…Are you okay…?"

Astrid let out a small chuckle. "Myra…Listen…The only thing keeping me alive right now is my energy…but eventually I'm going to power down...I don't have much time left..."

"No! NO DON'T SAY THAT! WE CAN HEAL YOU ASTRID!"

Astrid's red flame slowly faded out, she fell forward into Myra's grasp. She held her near dead sister in her arms tightly.

"Astrid…No…please don't leave me…Please…" Myra sobbed, tears ran down her face, Bellona and Neith stood over the sisters, also grieving Astrid's state.

"Myra…I-I'm happy that I saved you…I'm going to die…Knowing that you're still alive."

"Yes Astrid...I'm here and I'm okay! But please just hang on!"

Astrid smiled weakly, her eyes sparkled with tears, her lips were trembling ever so slightly.

"I'm not going to make it Myra...I don't want you to be sad okay? Just—"

"NO SHUT UP! YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE IT! I SWEAR ASTRID DON'T DIE...PLEASE DON'T DIE!"

Astrid winced, she shut one eye tightly in pain. She her grip on Myra's hand tightened one last time.

"Myra...My little sister...Take care of yourself okay? Promise me you'll live to tell this story..."

Myra sobbed heavily, it was loud and passionate. Neith broke into tears, she cried into Bellona's shoulder.

"Astrid...I can't live without you...I need you..."

Astrid shook her head. "Shh...Take care...Little sister. Don't forget about me you hear?" She said quietly, and let out a small laugh.

"I'll never forget...I swear to you..." Myra croaked out between sobs.

"Okay...I love you Myra...I...Love...You..."

Astrid whispered. Myra felt as her sister's grip on her own hand weakened, until it rested on her palm, numb and still. The Black-Haired Sister slowly closed her eyes, and exhaled one last time.

"Astrid! Astrid! ASTRID! NO! NOO!"

The Brown-Haired Sister let out a cry that rang throughout the entire mountain. It sent shivers down Bellona and Neith's entire bodies. Myra held her dead sister, caressing her face and running her fingers through her hair.

Bellona walked over and fell to her knees. She wiped tears and gently passed her fingers through Astrid's bangs, to get them out of her eyes.

"I'm going to miss you Astrid...A lot..."

Neith knelt down, sobbing quietly. "I'm so sorry Myra...I really am."

Myra didn't respond, she only held her sister gently, caressing her, and looking at her.

Neith tapped Astrid's forehead with her fingertip, a small white flash occurred. The Weaver blessed her, granting her a happy afterlife.

Bellona put her hand on Myra's shoulder. "She died saving you Myra…She wanted her sister to keep living…"

Myra didn't respond.

"You have to get out of here…Take her body and her sword…and get her a proper burial. We'll finish this. I promise." Bellona shook Myra's shoulder gently.

Myra looked at her sister with tear-filled eyes. She took a deep breath, finally accepting her dear older sister's fate.

"Astrid…..I...I love you too...I'll miss you...Big sis..."

Myra took off Astrid's longsword strap and placed the blade on her back, she carried Astrid gently, using both of her arms.

Myra looked back at Bellona and Neith, who smiled back. She waved goodbye as she began to make her way down the mountain. Little did she know, she would never see them again…

*Cue the Sad-Action music.

Bellona and Neith turned to see a horrible sight.

Thanatos' mask was off, revealing his pale and bloody face. His eye was burning with a dark indigo. Jing Wei was on the floor bleeding out, Virgil stood in front of her, defending her from death itself.

Virgil was bloody all over, she stood in front of Thanatos wearily, sword out in front of her.

"Virgil…Get out of the way…This is my fight…" Jing Wei whimpered, she slowly began to stand up.

"Yes…A fight that you're losing darling…" Virgil panted, she fired energy at Thanatos hitting him in the shoulder, but he walked right through the pain slowly making his way closer and closer to Virgil.

She kept firing, but Thanatos was already half dead. He struck Virgil with his scythe, and then went in for another attack.

Jing Wei watched as Virgil blocked two attacks from Thanatos, but the third one was too much. Virgil fell to the ground, Thanatos stood over her.

"VIRGIL! NO!" Jing Wei cried, Bellona ran as fast as she could across the plaza to try and help, Neith straggling behind her.

Thanatos brought down his scythe on Virgil, blood blasted out all over, on Thanatos' armor and all around Virgil.

Thanatos ripped his scythe out from Virgil; he let out a slow and sinister laugh.

Bellona charged at Thanatos, who only blocked her first attack and then hit her with a sweep attack, he grabbed the Goddess by the throat and threw her aside.

Bellona hit the ground, hard. She hit the back of her head on the floor, temporarily disorienting her.

She watched everything.

Neith tried to fire her bow at Thanatos, she shot him once in the chest, but he once again walked through the pain.

He threw his scythe at her, and due to being recently tortured and burned, she couldn't backflip in time, the scythe cut right through her body, it stuck in her, blood pouring out, and running down her body.

Bellona couldn't breathe; she felt a large hole in her chest. She reached out to Neith, her vision getting blurry from tears that came instinctively.

She watched in horror as Thanatos ripped out the scythe, Neith fell forward on all fours, still alive. Thanatos brought down his scythe on her back that was already burned, making the kill easy, yet brutal and bloody.

Neith sprawled out on the floor, the pool of red blood around her growing larger. Thanatos pulled his scythe out from her back; he set on his next target, an injured Jing Wei.

Jing Wei used her katana to help her stand, she had deep cuts all over her body, and she was bleeding from the nose and mouth.

Thanatos and Jing Wei clashed blades, sparks flying everywhere from the force. Jing Wei back kicked him, she fired her crossbow.

The Hand of Death spun his scythe around, deflecting the explosion; he walked through the smoke and raised his scythe.

Jing Wei saw an opening, but at the same time…She fell for the bait. She dashed forward and missed her vital slash, Thanatos raised his scythe, he brought it down on Jing Wei's thigh, and it went straight through.

"AAHHHHH! GNGH…GAAHA…GHN…" Jing Wei cried.

"YES! FINALLY! IT FEELS SO GOOD TO HAVE YOUR BLOOD ON MY SCYTHE! FINALLY…I CAN FINALLY…KILL YOU…"

Jing Wei fell down on one knee, there was nothing she could do except…..Let it happen.

Thanatos dragged Jing Wei across the ground, smearing the floor with her luscious blood. Thanatos ripped the scythe out of her calf, Jing Wei turned on her back to try and backed away, but Thanatos was too fast and eager to finally kill his archenemy.

He slammed down the scythe on Jing Wei's stomach, making her gut out with blood, like a pierced water balloon.

"GHCKL! Gah…Ghuuh…"

Thanatos raised Jing Wei up into the air, his scythe clean through her back and coming out her stomach. He slammed her down behind him.

Jing Wei was clinging onto life, she slowly tried to crawl away, but Thanatos dropped his scythe and picked her up by the neck.

The two glared at each other, their eyes locked in a staring contest of hate. Thanatos finally blinked as he began to laugh.

"Death has finally come around to you…I'm going to enjoy this."

Thanatos grabbed Jing Wei's delicate neck with both of his gauntlets; he then began to strangle her.

"GH! GAANGH….ANGH….GHANGH…GAH…LET…ME…G-GAUH!" Jing Wei gagged, blood squirted out of her mouth, she flailed her legs around and tried to open Thanatos' hands, but he was holding on to tight. It was over.

Thanatos pushed his thumbs inwards, the sharp tips of the gauntlet entered Jing Wei's neck, making two large holes were blood splattered and spewed out.

"AHAHAH! AHAHAAHAA! I LOVE THIS! MMM! IT'S LIKE A HOT, BLOODY SHOWER!"

"GANGH! GHH—GRCKHNGH! GRLAGH! ANH—NGH..." Jing Wei flailed her hands, trying to cover the holes in her neck. She fumbled and fidgeted, she squirmed and wiggled.

Until finally, she stopped moving, blood ran down Thanatos' arms as he lifted her up into the air even higher.

"Yes…Yes! YES!" Thanatos laughed, Jing Wei's blood shimmered in the small amount of sunlight that there was, and The Hand of Death was satisfied with his work.

He threw Jing Wei's body forward, landing next to Virgil's. It was still releasing endless pools of blood, from basically everywhere, calf, stomach, back, neck, and mouth.

Thanatos looked around; everyone was dead…Except for him and Hades…and one more God…or Goddess…Bellona.

Bellona picked up her sword; her lips trembled in both anger and shock as she glared at Thanatos.

"Shit…Not you…Not you…" Thanatos panted, he was already wounded, and exhausted, but Bellona wasn't. Her red flame burned radiantly.

Bellona charged at Thanatos, she attacked furiously, Thanatos barely managing to block everything. She stabbed him through the stomach, then cut him through his chest, then rammed into him and cut him again.

She stabbed Thanatos even deeper from before, she forced her blade downwards, making him kneel, she brought down her blade on his shoulder then knocked him to the ground.

Thanatos fell on his side, Bellona stood over him. She brought down her blade, but he blocked the hit with his wing, at a price, the Goddess had cut his wing off.

"GAAAHHH! GET OFF OF ME! GUH!" Thanatos hit Bellona in the stomach with his palm, knocking the wind of her. He got up and threw his scythe full strength. It didn't look like the Goddess was going to dodge at all.

She didn't need to. Bellona caught the Scythe out of the air, and threw it aside.

"N-No way…G-Get away from me!"

Thanatos took to the skies, mostly using his powers, not his wings. He flew towards Hades' temple, a mere staircase away from the Plaza.

Bellona looked at Neith's body, but at this moment, she was too angry to cry.

"Neith…I love you…If you can hear me…I truly love you…I'll never stop loving you…Even if you're not here…I'll always feel this way…Forever…Wherever you are…"

Bellona looked around at the destroyed mountain, the sky was dark, but the sunrise was starting. A tiny bit of light shined on her face.

"It's definitely better than here. Enjoy it for me...You're the love of my life...I'm sorry I couldn't protect you."

Bellona kissed Neith's soft, delicate, and tender lips. She half expected her to grab her face, and kiss her back. But Bellona knew better.

She stood up, and turned to run towards the last level of the mountain before she heard a small croak behind her.

It was Virgil.

"Oh my gosh! Virgil?! I saw you die! How are you still alive?"

Virgil coughed up some blood before smiling up at Bellona. "Gods always underestimate humans…They think we die in just one punch. But we're stronger than that…Heh…Especially me."

"Virgil…Can you walk?" Bellona asked, her expression was happy. But it later changed to sadness when Virgil frowned.

"Bellona…I just wanted to say goodbye…I'm not sure how I'm still alive darling…He did tear me open with that scythe of his…Just take a look."

It was true, Virgil never lies. Bellona looked at the open wound that Virgil had, she could see her insides, blood seeping out and ruining her white cloak.

Virgil grabbed Bellona's smooth hand, her eyes lit up green.

Bellona felt energy run through her body, not only did it heal her, but it gave her strength and power.

The Goddess gasped. She felt a heart-skipping spark. She looked down at Virgil, who was smiling weakly.

"Bellona…I just lent you the last bit of power that was left in my Gem…Use it. Use it to win this war. I know you can do it darling…"

"Virgil…Thank you…"

Virgil nodded her head. "Good luck…Win the fight…Not just for me…But for all of us. Go on…Leave me here."

Bellona got up, she began to tear up. "A-Alright…..I-I'm leaving now…"

"Oh go on! I don't want to see you cry over me, you're gonna make me cry!" Virgil chuckled, before coughing.

Bellona began to cry anyways.

Virgil smiled warmly at Bellona; a tear ran down her cheek.

"Dying…Is something that all of us go through Bellona. You know how it feels?" She asked.

Bellona looked at Virgil in the eyes, awaiting the answer. Memories of Neith flashed through her head, making more tears come forth.

"It feels…Peaceful…and you know I never lie...Now go on darling…"

Bellona suddenly knelt down and hugged Virgil, she sobbed heavily.

"I love you Virgil…Thank you for all you've done for us…If it weren't for you...The New Order would have never gotten past the front lines of the Greek Pantheon…You…You Virgil…You won us the war…Thank you…"

Virgil sighed; she was starting to breathe more slowly. "Heh…I love you too Bell…Be safe..."

Bellona nodded her head, she set Virgil down easy.

"Thank you."

Bellona turned around, her eyes closed.

When she opened them up, her right eye was burning with her powerful red flame, burning bright and strong. But her left eye had a flame too; it was green, just like Virgil's…and just as bright and powerful.

Bellona narrowed her eyes; she let out a battle cry and sprinted forward, faster than she's ever ran before. Her yell was heard throughout the mountain, birds took off because of it, the soldiers down in the lower levels heard it, and Myra heard it.

Virgil lay on the ground, taking her last breaths.

"Myra...Remember your sister and I...Tell our tale..."

Virgil slowly closed her eyes, and sprawled out on the ground, finally resting.

Hades's Temple…

"WAIT WHAT?!" Hades yelled.

"Everyone…Everyone is dead…I killed everyone…Except for one of them. But everyone on our side is dead as well…It's just me and you…"

"AND WHO ELSE?!"

"Bell…Bellona…"

"WHAAT?! YOU'RE TELLING ME—"

Bellona blasted through the door, stopping Hades in his tracks, and making Thanatos start to slowly back up.

Bellona charged forward, Hades covered her in his Soul Smoke, then slammed down on her, presumably reaping her of her soul…Or so he thought.

Two fires, red and green were visible through the smoke, then out jumped Bellona, covered in Blight, but still moving.

"W…W-WHAT?!" Hades yelled in shock.

Bellona threw her sword forward, just like Astrid. It impaled Hades right through the chest.

"GAAAHHHH!"

Bellona charged forward at a blinding speed, just like Myra. She summoned her bludgeon, and jumped up into the air, slamming it down on Hades, killing him instantly.

Black blood and smoke filled the room, Thanatos couldn't believe it; Hades had just been killed so easily. He couldn't see Bellona; he was scared, for the first time since he was born. He blasted through the back door and out onto the balcony.

Just then, Bellona smashed through the wall, holding her bludgeon, it was covered in black blood.

Thanatos was hesitating. He glared at Bellona in fear.

Bellona grinned. "What? You scared to die? It's been a long time…Ex."

"Yes…It has." Thanatos responded.

"Such a shame that our first encounter in a while is like this…The end of a war. Where both sides only have ONE…LAST…SOLDIER…LEFT." Bellona's two flames flared even brighter.

"Yes…It is a shame…" Thanatos held his scythe tightly, ready for anything.

"Well…I guess we'd better get to it…Shouldn't we?"

Thanatos inhaled. "Yes…I suppose."

"Alrighty then!"

Bellona and Thanatos glared at each other for a few moments…Until Bellona broke the silence.

"Let's do this."

Bellona ran forward, shield out in front of her. She rammed into him, knocking him into the ground. She brought down her blade, but Thanatos blocked it.

Thanatos slashed Bellona's kneecap, making her fall down on one knee, he went in for an overhand attack, but Bellona blocked it using her shield, she cut her opponent across the chest and then rammed into him.

Bellona summoned her bludgeon; she uppercut The Hand of Death, sending him flying over the balcony, but he held on, and jumped back over, throwing three scythes at The Goddess.

She blocked one with her shield, making it ricochet off; she dodged the second, but then got hit by the third.

Thanatos jumped forward and uppercut the War Goddess with his scythe, then gauged her breasts. He punched her, and then gauged her again.

Bellona felt a sharp pain in her stomach, she felt blood erupt up from everywhere and blast out of her mouth. She looked down to see a scythe straight through her stomach.

Thanatos threw Bellona forward, she landed on her back, blood squiring out from her large stomach wound.

Just then, the green flame lit up, and just like Virgil, she healed a little, but not much, what was effective though was the pain relief.

Bellona charged forward once again, the two Gods clashed and cracked blades; they parried and blocked each other, struck and cut each other, punched and kicked each other. The fight was so fast paced, both Gods trying as hard as they could.

It was getting too close. Far too close. Both Gods staggered back, warm, red blood from Bellona and cold, black blood from Thanatos painted the ground.

The Gods charged…One final time, weapons at the ready…Only one of them was faster…

It was Thanatos. Blood blasted out of Bellona's mouth, she had tears in her eyes.

She had failed.

Thanatos ripped his scythe out from her gut, making her fall to her knees. He raised his scythe in the air for the final hit.

Suddenly, the green flame came into effect once again, she felt less pain, she felt faster, and healed a bit, but even less than before. But it was enough.

Enough for Bellona to find the strength to tank through Thanatos's finisher, and impale him, clean through the gut and up to the heart.

"GAAH! GH…"

Bellona ran forward, she charged Thanatos into a wall, making him accidentally rip out his scythe from Bellona's back. The Goddess of War pushed the blade further, and further, and further into Thanatos.

Bellona's sword was at an angle, it went slightly upwards, Bellona kept pushing. Her face mere inches away from Thanatos' face. The two wouldn't take their eyes off each other, their teeth grit, eyes narrowed, and mouths bloody.

Finally, Thanatos's eyes slowly began to roll up into his head; Bellona's blade had made contact with his black heart.

"GHAAH!" Bellona pushed one final time, her sword cut clean through Thanatos's heart, killing Death itself.

Thanatos slid down the wall, his blood staining it. Bellona pressed her forehead against his, and breathed heavily.

She ripped her sword out from his body, and panted like crazy. She moaned and whimpered in pain.

Her red and green flames died off, Bellona suddenly fell to the ground, feeling weak and debilitated. She looked off onto the balcony; the sky was getting brighter and brighter.

She touched her wounds, and then looked at her hand, just as expected, dripping with blood.

She was losing too much of it, she wouldn't make it down the mountain in time. She was supposed to be dead, Thanatos had landed his finisher, if it weren't for Virgil's remaining Gem energy, she wouldn't have killed him.

She thanked Virgil in her head, hoping that she could hear it. The War was won. The New Order had done it.

Bellona finally accepted it, she came to the realization:

She would die; there was nothing she could do about it. She took off her armor, but kept her battle skirt on, her boots, and black tank top, all of it stained in her own blood.

Bellona couldn't walk; she slowly crawled over to the balcony and lifted herself up to lean against it. She smiled as the sunrise came over the horizon, lighting up the sky and ocean.

The water was a beautiful blue color; the reflection of the Sun could be seen down in the water below, and in Bellona's teary eyes.

She looked at her own hands, bloody and dirty. She looked at her own body, sleek, but tired and weak.

Virgil was right, death WAS peaceful, and of course it was. Virgil never lied.

Bellona suddenly felt herself become unstable; she let out a small laugh before losing power in her legs. She held herself up to keep looking at the sunrise, feeling felt empty inside.

She was so close.

"Heh…What a ride…a hell of a ride…"

Bellona looked at the sunrise through the gaps in the balcony, she slid down and sprawled out on the ground, she thought about all her memories and friends, and how it felt to be alive, she thought of Myra, and where she was, what she would do, she thought of her past, and what the afterlife would be like.

She thought of all of this while admiring the majestic sunrise.

The last thing she ever would see…

Before Everything Faded To Black.

The End.
