Chapter 1
Summary AU!: Eighteen years ago, the wolf goddess, Lupa, adopted the demititan son of Atlas. Out of the five years, she adopted the clone of Superman. She raised the two as her own, turning them into something more. Something the world needs now more than never.
Batman, Superman and Green Lantern struggled to keep the Parademons at bay. Even when the two heavy hitters cut there numbers down, more just kept coming.
The Caped Crusader could only do so much. His fists and shins were bloodied and bruised just from dealing lethal blows on these creatures, and he was running out of explosives.
A parademon shot a ball of fire from his maw at the vigilante, but he managed to roll out of the way. He reaches for an explosive Batarang and chucks it with all his might. The blade explodes on contact, blowing its armor off. The monster fell to the ground, defeated.
Batman panted heavily and sank to a knee. He felt uneasy killing. It went against his morals, but these monsters were mindless killing machines. At least that's what he's been telling himself. He couldn't afford to take the risk.
Just when he felt his sanity cracking, he sees Superman take off into the sky without a word.
"Where's he going?!"
Leaving him alone with the glowing space cop.
"We've got bigger problems than him" Batman says as he takes out more batarangs.
Viribus and Atsáli ran amongst the pack of wolves, leading them away from the city. Viribus decided that the safest decisions was to fall back and assest the situation.
Atsáli didn't agree, but followed none the less. As they continued into the forest, they heard screeches. Screeches of creatures they've never encountered before.
Viribus slows to a hault and tilts his head. These creatures were saying something.
'A war cry' he thought, confirming the idea of an oncoming invasion. He turns his head just in time see three parademon descending upon him. Fortunately, his instincts kicked in and saved him.
One went for a swipe at his head, but Viribus ducks. And with one hit, the monster was obliterated. The force of the punch throws the demons off course sending them veering to the ground.
Before one of them could steady themselves, a wolf snagged onto its clawed feet. The parademon was dragged to the ground and tackled by more wolves.
Meanwhile, the other one crashed into a tree. It shook several branches of its head and snarled at his assailant.
Only to have its head chopped clean off its shoulders, by a shield.
Atsali let raised his hand to catch the shield as it bounced towards him. He looks to see his brother walk up to the monster as it was held down by wolves.
Viribus grabs the monster by its head and looked into its nonexistent eyes. He wondered how these things could see.
The random thought made him lose focus, making him unaware of the fireball forming in the monsters mouth. The parademon let out the torrent of flames on the demititan, covering him from head to toe.
The wolves scattered away to avoid the flames. Atsáli stood unfased by the flames, but squinted his eyes as the heat blew into his face.
'Those flames sure do feel different alien, but nothing compared to Greek Fire'
The alien's flames burn several trees, starting a forest fire. All the while, Viribus stood unfased and free of any burns. His clothes weren't even singed.
With a huff, he rips the monster's head off and throws it to the ground. The wolves retreat into the non burnt area of the forest, leaving the brothers alone.
The two look at the burning forest, the flames still raging on. Atsáli glares at his brother, who looks down slightly ashamed.
"Sorry brother, my ADHD kicked in at the last minute" he sighs.
"The battle instibct one, the easily distracted one, or the arrogant one" Atsáli asks with a smirk.
Viribus rolls his eyes, "Very funny. Now can you please put out the fire before the gods smite me"
Atsáli chuckles as he faces the flames. He takes a deep breath, puffing his cheeks slightly. He then lets out a huge gust of wind, snuffing out all the flames in the area. The trees shook violently, but remained standing.
"Fires out" Atsáli says, "The pack's probably retreated to the mountains. What do we do now?"
Viribus crosses his arms and looks onto the distance with a glazed look in his eye. Atsáli rolls his eyes at the look.
"The infamous thinking face" he commented as he sat on a burnt log. His nose suddenly twitched at a familiar smell.
Viribus must've noticed to, "I thought we put out the fire"
"That Super Breath isn't perfected but it's still a Super Breath none the less" Atsáli says, irritated that his abilities were doubted.
Viribus looks up to the sky and notices smoke coming from the direction of the city. He nods upward to his brother who jumps to the sky, clearing the treeline with ease.
He and the pack moved pretty far away from the city, so Atsáli used his enhanced vision to catch up on the current events.
Viribus simply leans on tree with his arms crossed. Something didn't seem right, he could feel it. It caused a cluster of emotions to race in his mind.
Irritation from the feeling. Anxious to get to the bottom of this. Hell, even excited to face the new challenge. But there was also something else, something he hasn't felt since he was a boy.
Fear.
Viribus will admit when he's afraid, but only when he could explain why he'd be afraid. He is scared of the gods because they could, no, would dispose of him easily just because he rivaled them in strength. He is terrified of snakes because he was thrown into a snake pit when he was a boy.
But this fear. This fear yet excitement of the oncoming storm, it confused him. Was it because his human side was scared? Or was it because his Titan side was eager?
"The ocean's on fire"
Viribus looks at his brother, "That's pretty blunt"
Atsáli stares at his body before saying, "You get gray streaks in your hair when you either using uour full power or when torn between decisions"
Viribus doesn't say anything, only turning to the direction of the city. With a sigh, he says, "I'm really going to regret this"
And with a mighty leap, he clears the treeline with ease. Atsáli smiles and leaps after his brother.
'Greek or Roman. Half god or half Titan, you all have the blood of heroes coursing thtough your veins'
Yeeeaaaah, had to reupload the chapter because I accidentally duplicated the chapter. Guess that's what happens when your watching Berleezy at 3 in the morning I guess. Anyway, see you soon.
