Chapter 1: Everyday Lives
Bellona pulled herself together as she prepared herself and her team for the upcoming match. The gods were in the lobby. Bellona, Ares and Artemis were partied up to go into an arena fight together, but Bellona was fine with being on the other team. She was excited to fight her 2 friends. She put her Respawn Chain around her neck, and began to stretch as she walked toward her pod.
"You ready Bellona?" Anhur yelled
"I'm fine, the question is…are YOU!" Bellona exclaimed back with a smile.
Bellona got in her pod as she saw the door close in front of her. She took a deep breath as she felt her pod suddenly get lifted up into the air; she looked up to see the blinding light of the sun. The pod opened to reveal her standing on her pedestal that had her face on it. She was transported into the arena. She looked around to see her teammates: Thor, Nox, Osiris, and Anhur. She smiled at the sight of her teammates. She knew who was on the other team…Thanatos, Bellona's old boyfriend from years ago. The Morrigan, Sobek and of course her 2 friends: Artemis and Ares.
"Minions have spawned!" The announcer announced.
Bellona ran out of her fountain to see the minions already interacting in sword fights and shootouts. Her team was destroying the jungle camps, she decided to join them. She noticed a blue aura radiating off of Nox, indicating she had taken the Mana Buff. She saw a lion not too far away. She ran towards it.
"AARGH" Bellona grunted as she struck the lion with her blade.
A red rune dropped from the lions body as it disintegrated. Bellona picked up the rune in her hands and crushed it. She felt the power surge through her veins as her eyes light up a fiery red.
"Let's do this"
Artemis leaned against her fountain opening as she watched her teammates fight. She was fixing up her hair and writing "moron" on all of her arrows. She got startled at the voice of the announcer shouting:
"A god…has FALLEN"
Artemis glanced over at the center of the arena to see Bellona's dead body radiating a purple poison from her blood dripping mouth. The Morrigan had gotten first blood.
"Hahaha! Wow I didn't think she would die that easily." Artemis thought to herself. "Well…let's get out there."
She could her the tap of her own boots clashing the ground as she ran towards her teammates. Her heartbeat began to accelerate, body began shaking, hands sweaty. Holding her bow tightly in her small hands, she raised her bow, tightened her retinas, and got ready to fire.
Bellona shouted in her earpiece.
"Hurry! We have to attack their minions! AND DEFEND OUR PORTAL DAMN IT!"
"I don't see you attacking anything Bell! After all, it was your blood that was spilled first." Thor shouted back. Bellona felt herself turn red from rage, but Thor was right, she died first.
"I-I guess your right…But still! We have to make a-" Bellona was interrupted by a powerful blow to her legs from Sobek. He launched her into the air and threw her over his shoulder. Bellona was greeted by a nice, warm fire from Ares's shield. Bellona shouted in pain.
"Ugh. We have to do everything" Anhur exclaimed.
Anhur threw thousands of spears with rapid succession, many hit an invisible Morrigan. Bellona quickly regained her bearings as she knocked Morrigan to ground with her shield, she then proceeded to bash her skull with her foot. Bellona's hard metal sole hitting Morrigans skull into a fine pulp.
"A God has Fallen." The announcer announced.
"Thanks for the assist Bell," Anhur said into his earpiece.
"All for the team buddy."
Bellona felt a sharp pain from her spine, making her lash out in a blood curdling scream. She fell her knees as she felt herself getting lifted up into the air by none other than Thanatos. His sharp scythe has struck Bellona in the back with a direct hit. Thor quickly struck the ground with his hammer making the floor break and creating a sharp row of rocks to appear. Thanatos, stunned, dropped Bellona. She quickly ran back to the safety of her fountain. She came back, and she came back mad.
"ROMA INVICTA!"
Bellona planted her huge roman flag right on Thanatos.
"Whose going to be dead now?" Bellona whispered to Thanatos as she stomped on his head, revealing a broken skull and a lot of black blood. Bellona looked up to see Thor in the air. He came down right on top of Sobek, and spun his hammer, damaging Sobek badly. Anhur summoned a pillar surrounded by sand, sucking everyone in. Thor finished off Sobek by hitting him in the back with a thunder powered hammer. Anhur swiftly impaled Morrigan with a spear straight through the heart and threw her body on the ground. Thanatos was already dead. Artemis and Bellona were fighting.
"You're quite perseverant aren't you?" Bellona teased. Artemis fired her arrows at Bellona, she blocked every single one with her shield.
"Uhhh…TUSKY!" Artemis shouted as she summoned her boar, it rammed Bellona, and it rammed her hard. Artemis fired a barrage of arrows above Bellona.
"AAAAAGHH" Bellona shouted, she rose up with countless arrows stuck in her back. "Ouch, that really hur-" A burst of blood blasted out of Bellona's mouth, she looked down to see a sword through her stomach, the sword had HER blood on it.
"Now that…should have hurt."
The sword was pulled out. And Bellona's body hit the ground with a thud. Artemis, still shocked at what she just saw, stood with a blank face.
"What? Not used to a little blood?" Ares laughed.
"Wow, way to go genius." Artemis exclaimed. The 2 gods were annihilated by huge ball of pure darkness.
"DECIDE!" The announcer shouted. "The Enemy Team has agreed to surrender. The other team wins!"
All the gods were instantly teleported back to the lobby. And Bellona was ready to go home after that.
