*Loud Snoring*...GAH! I'M AWAKE!...no I'm not.
Hey guys so I've been stuck in class doing tests and stuff…..and by the time this comes out, It will be over...probably. ANYHOW!
I have been playing a shitload of smite, so I'm going to do a story over that, cause...why not? Now before I do anything, this story has the images of Gods and Goddesses. Smite is a MOBA about said Gods and Goddesses. The following depiction, is based off of THE GAME, not real life. If you have a beef with the way I'm depicting them based off the actual Mythology, and not how the game does it, shush. Also to those who dislike the Idea of the game cause they are "False Gods" I don't want to hear it. It's a game, you don't like them, then don't read it or play the game. Now that I pissed off at least three people, let's move on! Enjoy!...oh yeah. I OWN NOTHING!
Ch 1 Normal day
"Welcome! To the Smite realm! Today is Team Deadlands versus Team WAR! We will begin in a few minutes!" An announcer screamed over the microphone. The Smite Realm. A realm full of war, battle, and death. But in this world, death does not equal the end. In Fact, death is but a door and time is but a window. This realm is special, it is the ground where Gods clash in combat. Gods from all over come to fight. To prove who is better, to settle arguments, and to just engage in combat. It was now time for their annual combat tourney. Gods would band together and fight each other in a series of events. The winners receive the highest honor of winning, and a feast in their name. This year's two teams fighting it out was Team Deadlands, and Team WAR!.
Team Deadlands, A group of Gods who aid work in the ways of death. Assassin Thanatos, Guardian Hades, Warrior Osiris, Mage Anubis, and Healer Hel. This team made up of some of the most feared gods and goddesses, had come extremely far in the tourney. They had dug tooth and nail to go against last years winners, Team WAR!
Team war is made up of Gods who reveal in War. Guardians Ares and Athena, Hunter Anhur, and Warriors Guan Yu and Bellona. The winners of last years fight. They had slayed all in their path with pure power, and unstoppable energy. Yet they were weak in the realm of magic. They had been accused of cheating, by Zeus that year. His claims were written off as poor sportsmanship, and was simply ignored. This year though they had a wild card. Bellona had managed to take the smite realm by storm, with her powerhouse like build. Thanatos was excited, the souls of his enemies would be his. Well for a while anyway.
In the waiting area was Team Deadlands, and the team that had been crushed by WAR!, Team Thunder head. Consisting of Zeus, Chaach, Thor, Ao Kuang, and Nox. They had been decimated by the physical power of the group. It was all up to Deadlands now. Hades stood in the middle.
"So do we know the plan?" Hel would smile cheerfully.
"Yup! I go with you, Anubis takes middle, and Osiris, goes solo." Hades would watch her for a bit.
"Annnnd?"
"And I go into the jungle." Thanatos said standing up and unfolding his wings.
"OKAY!" She said happily. "If you need help tell me and I'll heal you/ AND CRUSH THE ENEMIES IN MY PATH!" She said changing into her darker stance. Hades chuckled at this.
"This should be good." Anubis would chuckle a bit as Osiris tried not to laugh. They found Hel's mood swings funny, but in combat, they feared her. Hel turned to the two shutting them up instantly.
"ATTENTION ALL COMBATANTS! The fight starts in two minutes!" Thanatos looked up and listened to the announcer. He began to hover and grabbed his weapon of choice. His scythe. Hades would grab his equipment and head for the door.
"Good luck, and most of all, don't be bad sports." Hel followed soon after with Anubis and Osiris, following up. Thanatos equipped his death toll and made for the exit. The group exited and saw they were invaders this day. "Good luck to you both." Hades said looking to Osiris and Anubis and began rushing to get in position. Hel and Hades would split of to the side leaving Thanatos alone. He would sigh as he gathered potions and wards. With his left over gold he grabbed some would sigh and make his way out into the jungle. He reached the attack speed camp and looked deep into the jungle. He placed a ward by the Lava Giant and then one on the other side of the map quickly before returning. He would look at his ward and stifle a laugh. It was a small stuffed Manticore with two fangs on each side of it's mouth. Thanatos would wait as the timer ticked down until the Minions spawned. He could hear Ares taunting Hades from across the map. Thanatos just leaned against his scythe.
"Blow hard."
"Isn't that the truth." Thanatos did not react. He simply looked over to his left and saw Bellona standing there. Her hair cut short, and her armor dirty and bloody. Thanatos's wings would unfold as he stood up. He turned to her and watched as she tried to decided if she should attack or grab the buff first. Thanatos had his mind made up. If she came at him, attack the Cyclops and run back letting her take the damage. If she went after the jungle buff, he would hide and wait to strike.
Bellona on the other hand was split. She would contact Athena through a special orb they all had.
"I see their jungler. I'm to slow to hurt him this early. What should I do?"
"Be aggressive. Scare him off." Bellona smiled. She could do that. Though she was fighting death. She did not fear him. Thanatos would watch her as he sliced through one of the Cyclops. The other two looked at him and began to attack. Bellona smiled and charged in. She swung her mighty hammer and slammed it down where Thanatos was, but Thanatos was gone. The Cyclops turned to Bellona and attacked. She was now wide open. Thanatos would smile if he could, as he crept up from behind. Thanatos would throw his scythe at her, damaging her, yet healing him fully. Bellona now had little time to act. She would spin around and get two hits on Thanatos. Thanatos would just keep attacking. Once again he tossed his scythe at her, this time knocking her down to the ground. Bellona looked up in anger as Thanatos raised his scythe. With a sadistic laugh and a piercing scream.
"FIRST BLOOD!" Thanatos smiled as he began to return to base.
"BELLONA! WHY DID YOU ATTACK IN THEIR JUNGLE!?" Ares screamed at his teammate.
"But I-"
"Take up the lane! Guan Yu, go grab some buffs." Ares commanded. Guan rolled his eyes as he vanished into the jungle. Team Deadlands simply laughed.
"Good kill Thanatos. Do you require any buffs?"
"Damage."
"Come here then, I need to steal health anyways." Hades said as he waited by the buff. Thanatos would arrive and the two decimated the camp. "Thank you."
"No, thank you." Thanatos said as he picked up the small rune. His body would heat up as he felt the power course through his body. He let out a primal yell as he dashed into the jungle. He would pass through the middle to see Anubis and Anhur at a stalemate for now. Each ranged and two weak to risk going in weapons hot. He reached the jungle to see Guan Yu there. Guan was a few levels up, but not invulnerable. Thanatos would toss his scythe out and just miss him. Guan you would look over and see the wings of the Thanatos. Guan smiled as he went the opposite way to flank him. He turned to see nothing. Guan would stroke his beard and think as he returned to get the damage buff, only to see it was in the hands of Thanatos.
"Truly a dastardly villain to steal the buff i was working on." Thanatos laughed.
"You want it, come and get it back." Thanatos said mockingly. Guan Yu charged at the reaper only for him to vanish. Thanatos had used blink and was now behind the Saint of War, attacking him with heavy damage. Guan fell to his knees and simply waited. Thanatos drew his scythe back and landed the final hit.
"An Enemy has been slain." Thanatos laughed at this. He looked to his left to see Osiris in danger.
"Assistance!" He called out. Thanatos would flap his wings up and crouch low as he took to the air. He would then come crashing down onto Osiris's attacker. It was Bellona. She was stuck hard in the back and had no time to react as Thanatos unleashed a barrage of attacks onto the Goddess. Leaving her on her knees once again. "Thank you!" Osiris said as he returned to base.
"BELLONA! I SAID DON'T GO INTO THE JUNGLE!"
"She didn't. She was ambushed." Guan Yu said from the orb.
"YOU DIED AS WELL! YOU BOTH TAKE THE LANE! We have no use for a jungler." Ares said as he threw a chain onto Hel.
"OW! Let me go you bully!" She demanded. Ares smiled. He would leap to the air and snatch the girl up in a glowing chain. Hel smiled and pulled out some blue beads. Breaking the chains. Areas grew red with rage as she busted out. Hel smiled and recalled away from the area. Vanishing, leaving Ares stuck in the sky like a jackass. Thanatos listened as Ares released a loud yell from across the map.
"Heheheh." Hades chuckled as Thanatos sniped a kill. "Hey Thanatos. Can you go kill the Guardians? Hel can only do so much." Tanatos collected Guan Yu's soul and chuckled.
"That can be arranged." He said vanishing into the jungle. As he vanished he would bump into Bellona again. Thanatos would think. "Hel. I'm going to draw one away. Attack the other with everything you have." Hel smiled and nodded.
"Okay!" Hel said happily. Thanatos would throw his scythe at Bellona damaging her heavily. Bellona would retreat and try to hide.
"I'm drawing the reaper into the jungle, someone help me!" Athena looked and would frown.
"No. He's planning for it."
"But I need help!"
"I am sorry, he is planning for this. We cannot aid you." Ares flared up.
"YOU ARE A GOD OF WAR FIGHT DAMN IT!" He yelled. Bellona would sigh and figure she wasn't going down without a fight. She would launch into the fight and got ready to attack. Slashing and swiping at who she thought was Thanatos. Sadly it was just a lost minion. She had wasted her ult. And Thanatos was waiting. He would slash at her and bring her down. She fell to the ground and waited for what seemed like an eternity for him to kill her. But it never came. She opened her eyes to see Guan Yu.
"Are you alright ally?" Bellona could barely talk as she weakly muttered something.
"*mumbles*"
"Beg pardon?"
"Tr-p"
"What?"
"She's saying trap." Guan spun around and saw Thanato leap into the air, glowing gold. He had little time to react as he slammed down behind him executing Bellona. The sound of Bellona hitting the ground would cause Guan to turn only to see Thanatos's scythe slam into him. It was a fast assault. As he sliced through them. Anhur was about to come and assist when he heard the sound of crashing tower.
"Your right tower has been destroyed." Anhur would drop his head as his orb filled with the sounds of Ares's yelling.
"Enough of this." He said throwing the orb to the ground shutting out his team mate's voice. "Peace at last." He said moving out.
As the game progressed the pattern stuck. Team Deadlands pushed WAR! back and continued to slaughter them. The match was close to ending with one final push, Team Deadlands pushed right into their base. Thanatos went to attack the titan but his attack did nothing.
"What?!" Thanatos striked it again and nothing happened. "How can this be?" He said as Hades attacked the titan.
"It seems Zeus was telling the truth."
"You mean that?"
"Yes. Team War glitched the titan. We can't hurt it." He said watching hordes of minions attack the beast, yet nothing happened. It was then they were hit with golden chains. Thanatos dug out his beads but they didn't work.
"How?" Hades did the same but it failed.
"Damn it. We couldn't win if we tried." As the two looked at each other they were thrown into each other and into the enemy fountain. "Well this sucks." Hades said as the took heavy damage every second.
"How ironic."
"How so?"
"All's fair in love and war….but we aren't allowed to give the titan armor. Are we?"
"No. We aren't" Hades said as his head dropped and he fell to pieces. Thanatos looked down as a black portal opened up under him. He sighed and fell through. Ares's smiled and laughed.
"They have failed! WE SHALL WIN AS ALWAYS!" He yelled charging forward. Athena would smile from the back of the group.
And so Team War charged up the middle lane. Taking their two towers and their pheonix. Hades and Thanatos spawned and looked at each other as they saw their titan fall to the earth.
"They eradicated us that fast?" Hades asked. Thanatos groaned.
"Team War wins?! But wow! WHAT A TURN OF EVENTS!" Thanatos would grumble loudly as he turned toward the exit. Bellona would see the two and run over to them.
"Good game guys." Thanatos just scoffed and kept moving. Hades looked to Bellona then to Ares.
"It seems Ares is smarter than I thought. I'd better tell Ananke and Nox about this." Hades said vanishing in a blink of an eye. Bellona would watch as Team Deadlands dispersed giving her and her team a glare of hate and anger.
"What did I do?"
"Nothing dear." Athena said walking up from behind. "They are simply bad sports. You did well today." She said putting a hand on her shoulder. Bellona smiled and nodded.
"Yeah...thanks." Bellona said with a weak smile. She felt that she in fact did little to fight. She would gather her gear and head to the locker room to see Ares and a minion talking.
"Is it done?" Bellona would hide a little and listen in.
"Yes Ares. It's done. No one will know."
"Good. Now that that's settled. We can move on." The minion nodded and walked away. Bellona backed up a little and called into the room.
"Yo. Guan you back here?" She asked walking into the room. "Ares you seen Guan?" Ares just scoffed and walked away. "Are all gods of war asses?"
"No dear just my brother." Athena said walking in. Bellona could feel something was wrong, but wasn't sure.
Whatever nothing's wrong….maybe. She thought as she walked to the exit.
Thanatos walked through the exit five minutes ago and now he was out in a large room with white floor and gold trim. He was hoping to head to the underworld and relax a bit, but he had been roped into a conversation between Neith, Bakasura, and Scylla.
"I'm just saying *gulp* That match was rigged." Bakasura said eating a whole leg of mutton. Neith would nod as well as Scylla.
"Yeah I know cheating when I see it. I'm on a team with Loki." Scylla said as one of her dogs chewed on a doggy toy. As the two talked Thanatos would just stare of to space. He blinked and saw Bellona standing in the doorway. Thanatos would look at her and see she was covered in scratches and blood was all over her legs. Unaware he was being watched Neith smiled.
"I see Thanatos has take interest on the Bellona." Thanatos would immediately snap his head to Neith.
"What?"
"Don't worry Thanatos. She is quite a catch." Thanatos would unfold his wings and glare at Neith.
"I do not have an interest in anyone. I am Death. I do not like anything." Neith smiled as she found a way through his defence.
"Do you like Death?"
"No, but it's my job."
"Do you like your job?"
"...Well I suppose it is my duty."
"So you do like something." Thanatos just stared at her. Bakasura and Scylla were just laughing in the background.
"This conversation is over." He said making Neith pout. As the four talked about Thanatos's love life. Anake and Nox walked in through a large door.
"Well Nox it was a good match, what a pull back from War."
"Yes well, I can't help but think something was amiss." Nox said walking beside her. As they entered the room Hades took notice and walked over.
"Ah just the two I was looking for. I have two things to ask." Nox just looked to Anake who smiled and nodded to Hades. "I do believe the equipment in the last game was faulty. Ares broke through the beads effect." He said crossing his arms. He would unfold them and produce the beads.
"Hades removing of match gear is forbidden."
"Unless it is broken." He said rebutting Anake comment. He handed her the beads and she felt over them until she opened her eyes. Nox just shook her head
"Hades the beads cannot be broken it is-"
"Broken. They are cracked." Nox looked over shooked.
"W-what? How?" Anake would close her eyes then smile.
"Not to worry. I will have this looked into. And the second thing you wanted Hades."
"I would like to speak again of the relocation of-"
"No." Anake and Nox said in unison.
"But why not?"
"Because the amount of time it would take to relocate the underworld to purgatory is astronomical." Anake said sighing.
"You're gods you snap your fingers and its done." Hades said crossing his arms angrily.
"Sorry but no." Nox said. 'Besides don't you like your neighbor.
"You mean…*ehem* THE PRINCE OF DARKNESS? No, in fact I find him annoying and quite bothersome. As of late he's been sending those imps after my realm to take it over."
"Look I'm sorry Hades, maybe some other time, we need to look into the issue with the equipment." Anake said turning and walking away. Nox would follow suit leaving Hades to stew in his own anger.
Thanatos would sigh as Neith and now Scylla sang an annoying song.
"Thanatos and Bellona sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G." Thanatos just glared at them. He would slam his scythe down and shut them up.
"Enough!" He said as he slammed his scythe down.
"YEOW!" Thanatos looked down and saw a small squirrel with it's tail caught under his scythe's handle. He lifted it and the small creature held his tail.
"WHAT'S THE BIG IDEA!?" He asked angrily. Thanatos groaned as he saw who it was.
"Ugh….what is it rodent?"
"That's Ratatoskr to you pal!"
"All I heard was rat." Thanatos said making the squirrel angry. It was Ratatoskr, the sly messenger, and biggest spreader of gossip throughout the smite world. Ratatoskr stuck his tongue out at Thanatos and climbed up to Neiths shoulder. From behind cupid would tap Thanatos and smile as he turned to look at him.
"HI THAN! I need to shoot you."
"Why?"
"A little squirrel told me you're in love." Thanatos would slowly look to Ratatoskr with a look that would strike fear into Ah Puch. Thanatos would grab out for the small rodent but miss as Ratatoskr went running.
"Annoying rodent." Thanatos said turning to glare at Cupid. Cupid got teary eyed and flew off.
"I DON'T WANNA DIE!" He yelled as he flew off. Ratatoskr would scurry up a pair of random legs and sigh as he rested on the person's shoulders.
"What the hell?" He would slowly look to see Bellona. "Oh...what do you want?" Ratatoskr smiled as he whispered something to Bellona's ear. Something that made her blush with anger. She would take Ratatoskr by his tail and throw him to the ground. With her hammer she smiled at Ratatoskr and placed a foot lightly on his back. "FORE!" She said loudly as she sent the tiny hairball flying. The hall was then filled with Ratatoskr's cries of fear. His descent ended with him landing in the hands of Anake. He would hug her and drop down to the ground. Anake approched the lobby and smiled.
"A great fight was just had. And Team War has won. As normal a feast will be held in their honor. We hope to see you all their." Thanatos would growl as he heard laugter from behind him. It was ares bellowing over his victory.
"HAHAHA! War will always comeout on top!" He said raising his fist high. Thanatos would turn to him and glare at him.
"You say you won. but a true winner does not resort to ill sportsmanship." Thanatos said pointing to him.
"You dare implay the god of war a cheater?!" Ares asked angirly.
"No. I do not implay. I'm flat out calling you one." Ares closed in on Thanatos who wasn't backing down.
"And dare you be man enough to fight me?!"
"One on one. Arena." Thanatos said up close.
"I FEAR NONE! YOU ARE ON!"
"Prepare to meet death's icy touch." Thanatos said as coldy as possible. Anake would slam her foot down.
"Scilence. We are aware of the accusations Thanatos. There shall be no rematch of any kind. You two shall nt meet in the arena at all. That is all on this mater." She said sternly. Ares would shake his head and punch a nearby wall.
"FINE! BELLONA!" He bellowed. Slowly Bellona strode over and looked to Ares. "SHOW THIS FOOL WHY WAR GODS ARE TO BE FEARED! YOU SHALL FIGHT HIM IN MY PLACE!" Anake got ready to speak as Nox put up a hand.
"The smite relm is here to settle disputes. Very well, but this does not effect the feast or the tournoment. Is that clear."
Thanatos nodded as well did Ares. Bellona stared at Thanatos and he did the same. The two looked at each other as if locked in a internal fight.
She shall fall to my blade.
He will crumble at my power.
Her body….grr! why is this even a thought?
His armor is useles to my hammer...but he does look bad ass….erk! Why did I think that.
As each of them thought to themselfs Ares dragged Bellona off for training. Thanatos would shake his head and Neith nudged him again.
"You like her~"
"SHUT IT!'
