Chapter 2: Wrath of a Demigod

"Zeus...the thunder god?" Calvin asked, barely controlling himself. Adrian raised an eyebrow,

"She's probably talking about us, genius." Calvin shut up after realization kicked in.

"Tell me which one of you is Zeus! Or I will paint these trees with your blood!" the grey girl shouted. Calvin shrugged his shoulders, and summoned electricity into his hands,

"Look gorgeous, I'm no god, but I can definitely bring the thunder!" The girl brought up her blades, reigniting them, and Adrian began to worry for his new friend,

"Be careful Calvin, I don't know how powerful this girl is!"

"So YOU must be Zeus then! Then prepare yourself to die!" The girl then began to swing her blades, with chains appearing on the ends of the hilts, allowing them to have a wider range. Both Adrian and Calvin barely had enough time to dodge as the blades took out several trees and ripped up the earth. Calvin looked at the damage in utter shock,

"Okay...Adrian, good call on bringing her to the forest, but now we got to calm her down before she tries hurting someone else!" He dodged once again, barely avoiding an overhead strike from the grey woman. Calvin made a ball of electricity, and chucked it at the woman warrior, and it landed right at the warriors feet, making her stop, stare at the ball of electricity on the ground in front of her, then shift her glare to Calvin,

"Is that really the best you can-?!"

BOOM!

The ball of electricity exploded, sending the grey woman back. Calvin, seeing as the woman was not even phased, sent a missile-like lightning bolt at her, sending her back further, and now pissing her off.

The grey woman readied her blades again, but saw that Calvin wasn't even looking at her. He was looking...up? She followed his gaze, and looked just in time to see full scale lightning raining down from the sky! It landed in from of Calvin and sped up in front of him, making its way towards the grey woman, and encased her in the lightning vortex.

There was nothing but smoke, and both Adrian and Calvin tried to see if she survived or not. They quickly got their answer when one of her blades flew out of the smoke, and it barely cut into the side of Calvin as he dived out of the way, and as he slowly made his way back up on his feet, the blade swung back around, taking his legs out from under him.

Calvin propped himself onto his elbows, but was staring down the womans blade,

"Say goodbye, Zeus!" She raised her blades up, and Calvin prepared for the fatal strike...

CLANG!

Calvin and the assailant couldn't believe their eyes; the blades collided with a large black shield! Held by none other than Adrian!

"Alright, my turn!" Adrians free hand then morphed into a large fist, and after rearing it back, he landed a massive punch to the face of their attacker, and she was rocketed backwards, slamming through trees and leaving a massive trench in the ground.

The girl picked herself up, brushing off the dirt as she now glared daggers at Adrian. Calvin couldn't help but to stare at Adrian as well,

"What...the fuck...are you?" Adrian let out a sigh, and turned to Calvin briefly,

"I'm complicated," Adrian said solemnly, and turned his gaze back to the girl. He called out,

"Before we continue, do you have a name?" The girl replied back, brushing back her hair,

"I am Katrina! The spiritual descendant of Kratos! The God of War! My sole purpose is to destroy the one named Zeus, and so far, you two are the only ones who fit the bill remotely close!" Adrian almost lowered his guard...almost.

"Well I hate to disappoint you, but I can only think of two people who were named Zeus. One of which isn't even real, and the other is dead..." Adrian paused, seeing the disbelief on Katrinas face, "...and I'm one of the guys that killed him."

The eyes of Katrina and Calvin practically popped out of their heads,

"You?!" Demanded Katrina.

"You killed a guy?" Asked Calvin.

"More than I care to count," said Adrian mournfully. Katrina brought her blades back up, ready for a fight,

"If I can't kill Zeus, then I suppose I'll have to kill his killer!" She lunged at Adrian, but his arms started to change shape, and now his arms have turned into monstrous claws, and they blocked Katrinas blades perfectly. Adrian then brought a boot out and kicked out Katirnas right leg, forcing her to kneel, and quickly turned his claws into pure black arms, and with a solid punch, knocked Katrina onto her rear. The Goddess of War then brought a leg around and kicked out Adrians legs from under him, only to watch him land on his hands and backflip away from her, while she kipped up to her feet. She advanced on him again, only for his arms to shapeshift once again, and now his left arm was normal, but his right was spiny and stumpy. Katrina leaped up, only for Adrian to launch his fist at her, almost like a whip, grab her chest piece, and launch himself towards her, landing a perfect flying side kick to her abdomen.

She fell back down to the ground, dissappearing in a cloud of dust. Adrian reverted his whipfist back to normal, and approached the decent sized crater he had created, and with one toss of a chunk of earth, he found Katrina, only to quickly turn away, blushing madly,

"Time out!" he shouted, and quickly climbed back out of the crater. Katrina groggily returned to her feet in time to see Adrian approaching Calvin.

"Calvin, I'm going to need your shirt," said Adrian urgently.

"Why?" Adrian grabs the top of his head and turns it towards Katrina,

"...okay what am I OH!" Calvin then attempted to pull the shirt off over his head, with Katrina still looking at the two,

"Will someone explain what is going on?! Why did we stop fighting?!"

Both Adrian and Calvin, the latter having his shirt stuck on his head, both look at her incredulously,

"Look down!" They shout in unison. Katrina does so, and see that her top has been ripped, and her right C cup sized breast was exposed. She looked back at the two young men she had been fighting,

"You stopped fighting because a bit of flesh is showing? Honestly??" The two men glanced at each other, then back at her,

"Welll..."

"We thought we'd be nice enough..."

"...decency, you know?"

"...show you a little respect." Both of them kept talking over each other, until Katrina had enough,

"SILENCE!" The two boys had quieted down, and their jaws dropped when Katrina purposely tore the top from herself, freeing her breasts. "I'm fighting to end my curse, and I will not stop over some damnable teenage hormones! Now one or both of you come and fight me!"

Adrians and Calvins faced turned from surprise to confusion, and they were no longer looking at Katrinas chest, and instead looking at each other,

"Curse?" They asked each other. Adrian looked back and Katrina, and started to approach her, tendrils encasing his body momentarily, and once they cleared, his jacket and shirt were gone, and his arm morphed a massive blade.

"Tell you what Katrina," began Adrian, "How about we try to land one last slash against each other, and the one that does most damage wins. If you win, you are free to kill me. If I win, you tell me everything you know. Deal?" Katrina narrowed her eyes,

"Challenge accepted!"

She then jumped out of the crater, towards Adrian, while he jumped towards her, and with one last swing, they both lash out.

Both land on their feet, but after a moment, Katrina fell to her knees, a large gash inbetween her neck and shoulder, bleeding profusely.

Calvin finally gets his shirt off, and presses it firmly to Katrinas wound.

"God dammit...we got to get her to the hospital!"

"No need," said Adrian, and the ground began to rumble, and the earth split open, revealing a cave-like entrance, "Just walk down the clearly marked path. I'll meet you both at the end." He then regenerated both his shirt and jacket, and hopped into the sky, leaving Calvin wondering what in hell he got himself into.
