The 7 hero's froze in horror. The scene before them was utter chaos. Cars were over turned and on fire, surrounding buildings that lay in ruins. People screamed and ran away terror, from the man that walked casually down the street. Jay snapped out of his trance first and switched to leader mode. He let go of Theresa's hand and stood in front of his team mates.
"Ok listen up." He waited until he had everyone's attention before continuing. "Odie, Neil. I want you to find any people that might be trapped and get them out of here. Herry help them when they need it. Theresa, if you get the chance try and wipe their memories. But don't worry too much about it. Archie, Atlanta, I need you to take out the giants, try and keep Cronus' focus on you, most importantly, be careful and watch out for each other." He looked at each of his friends, eyes lingering on Theresa. "Are you ready?"
"Yep"
"Yeah, let's go!"
"Can I check my hair fir….."Neil questioned, but trailed off when the glares came his way.
The team followed their leader towards Cronus before splitting up. Theresa, Odie and Neil headed towards a crowd of people to frightened to move. Herry, Atlanta and Archie ran towards a group of giants, who were overturning cars and smashing everything in sight. Jay ran towards Cronus, xiphos in his hand.
"Ah, Jay, so glad you could make it. It's been a month or so has it not? I do remember our last meeting so well. Pity, I was hoping that dear Theresa had died, all that power should have killed her. Shame, would have made my life easier." He paused for a moment before smirking at the fury that was rippling across Jays face. He had assumed that he and the physic were more than friends. He enjoyed being right.
"You stay away from her!" he hissed at Cronus. Jay lunged at him, stabbing his sword towards Cronus' chest. He blocked with his traditional scythes. He kicked him in the chest sending Jay flying a few meters away with the breath knocked out of him.
Atlanta and Archie, having beaten the giants ran towards Cronus. Herry ran to Jay and pulled him a side. Atlanta shot her laser into Cronus's face while running. Archie only a few seconds behind her, wrapped his whip around Cronus's legs and pulling him off his feet. Cronus cried out in fury and sent fire balls flying at Atlanta and Archie who were running faster than ever.
Neil ran towards his friends, trying to stay near Archie and Atlanta, but couldn't keep up. He eventually ran over to Jay and Herry.
"Jay, Jay what do we do?" he panted. "All this sweating is terrible for my pores!"
Herry rolled his eyes, but turned to his leader also wanting to know the answer. Jay got up, his breath back where it should be.
"We need to help Archie and Atlanta. Neil and I will sneak in from behind, while you help them in anyway you can." Jay said while grabbing Neil and pulling him around a corner.
Herry turned to find Archie and Atlanta. They were moving in circles around Cronus, Atlanta pulling Archie behind her. He looked away for a moment, trying to find something to throw at Cronus only to look up instantly at hearing a scream of pain from one of his friends.
Odie and Theresa were getting the people out. They had sent Neil to help the others. Theresa was wiping their memoires while Odie used a heat seeking device to look for more people.
"Odie, I think we should go help the others now" Theresa shouted over the noise as she ran towards Odie. He opened his mouth to speak when a scream interrupted him. He looked over at Theresa who was already running towards the horrific noise. He ran after her, fearing the worst.
Jay and Neil where creeping behind Cronus. They had snuck around the long way and now had Cronus in their sight.
"Neil stay near me the whole time ok?" he turned back to Cronus, only to whip around again. "But not too close" he paused looking at Neil and thinking how clumsy he could be. Neil rolled his eyes and nodded. They slowly moved forwards as a scream echoed all around them. Ditching his leader responsibilities behind him he ran forward with Neil on his tail.
Atlanta was getting tired; she could feel the strength leaving her as she ran with Archie. Cronus was sending these fire things at them and it was getting harder and harder to dodge them. Suddenly she felt Archie's hand slip from hers, she turned around to see his face distort in pain before a cry rang out. It took her a moment to realise that it was her who had screamed.
"Archie!" she screamed running back to him and kneeling next to him. She gathered him up in her up arms as tears fell from her eyes. Archie groaned and looked up to see a crying Atlanta above him. Part of him was floating on the fact that she was crying over him, but most of him was focused on the mind blowing pain that he felt below his right knee. He sat up a little and looked down to see a red and bloody shin/ankle.
He groaned, "Why is it always the ankle?!" he shouted. Atlanta laughed darkly, stroking his face softly.
"Because you don't spend enough time with Neil." A loud bang sounded around them. She jumped a little remembering where they where and the danger that they were still in.
"Aw, poor Atlanta. Did I hurt your little Archie? Well I wouldn't want to leave you out" Cronus grinned wickedly. Another fire ball forming in his hands.
"Run Atlanta! For god's sake run!" Archie screeched at her, pushing her away from him. Atlanta just shook her head.
"I will not leave you." She spoke with such a force that for once, Archie didn't argue. Instead he wrapped his arms around her waist and held her close.
"I love you, so much" he whispered into her shoulder, she smiled in spite of their situation.
"Love you too, Arch."
She buried her face into his hair, closing her eyes. Waiting for the pain that would wipe her and her love from this world.
