Hey guys I'm back. I'm trying to get back on schedule because I've left alot of stories up in the air. Mainly with my original KiGo multiseries. I plan to start back uploads for AvKiGo Resurrection as soon as I can. Also the next story update will be King of The Monsters so keep a lookout for it.
I do not own the Kim Possible characters they belong solely to Disney and this is for entertainment purposes only.
Ch. 3 Tides of War
"Nike." Kim spoke to the blonde goddess. Her olive eyes locked onto the woman as her face formed a serious expression. "Don't make the same mistake twice." She warned her, referring to the previously thrown halberd.
"The sirens sing of your death by the hands of Ares." Nike told her.
"The sirens have always sung off key." The red head responded.
"Surely you know how this must end?" Nike asked her.
Kim smirked. "I have an idea, but I'm sure you'll tell me."
Nike looked over to Zeus. The king of the gods was obviously tired. Nike knew he needed to recuperate to take victory this night. Nike noticed that Hera was nowhere to be found. She would worry about that later. Right now what mattered most was protecting Zeus.
"I'll handle it from here my Lord. You go and prepare to end this." Nike told him.
"Not a chance." Kim spoke and she unleashed a stream of lightning from her fingertips.
Nike jumped in the way taking the hit. The goddess screamed out as the energy coursed through her. Nike summoned her strength and slowly began to reach out with her right hand. Kim increased the voltage. She wasn't here to waste time and she wasn't going to leave empty handed either.
"You embarrass yourself. Heed and I'll shall stop." Kim said.
"Never." The blonde responded and was able to grab ahold of her weapon. The energy immediately arched it's way through the halberd and into the wall cracking it as it discharged.
"I never lose." Nike said with a huff, taking in breaths.
"We shall see." Kim said.
Nike spread her wings and flew forward tackling Kim. She carried the red head out of Zeus' chambers and into the sky. Kim started to discharge more of her energy as she struggled with to gain control. Kim managed to free one of her arms and grabbed Nike's face discharging more energy. Nike screamed out as both women began to fall from the sky.
They fell towards an Amphitheater. It was carved out of the mountain and it was where those who sought to stay in the good graces of the gods entertained them, even fighting to the death. Kim and Nike collided with the ground both women rolling along the stone floor with Kim stopping a few yards away from Nike. Kim stood and took a moment to gather herself. As she looked around she noticed several banners.
Each banner had a distinct color and symbol on it. These banners were laid out around the center of the amphitheater just below the spectators seats. The two main ones hung in the center obviously where Zeus and Hera sat. Zeus' banner was white with a gold symbol of an eagle. Hera's was blue with a green symbol of a peacock. There was a red banner with a black symbol of a dog with two swords behind it belonging to Ares. This banner hung behind Nike as she slowly rose to her feet. Then behind her was a yellow banner with a brown symbol of an owl which belonged to Athena.
Kim scoffed as she observed Athena's banner. It only served to remind Kim of how blind she had been.
"What happened to you?" Nike asked as she stood full height.
"I woke up." Kim answered.
Nike looked at the glowing fist on Kim's chestplate. "You can't trust the Titans. Whatever you have been told are lies."
"And I'm to assume you tell the truth if that is the case?" Kim questioned the blonde. "You forget your roots. Has living amongst the Olympians made you forget your Titan heritage?"
Nike frowned at Kim. "I have forgot nothing. Do not presume you have the right to judge on matters you do not know."
"You should heed your advice Nike. You judge me without knowing my full story." Kim countered. "There is a reaction for every action."
"And this is it?" Nike said. "How could letting the Titans rule be any better for humanity?"
"Rule?" Kim said with a craned eyebrow. "Humanity will be free from any rule."
"They are trying to reestablish Cronus' rule."
"The reign of Cronus has ended, just as the reign of Olympus will." Kim told her.
Nike sighed. "It was foretold that a child of Zeus would bring great destruction. I just hoped it was not you."
Kim took her free hand and brushed her back as the wind had whipped it around. She was done talking for now. It was time to get to work.

Ronnicus led his group of Spartans down the halls of Olympus. Thanks to the effort of the Amazons they were able to penetrate deep into the palace and down the foyer. They came to a stop at the end as the entered another room. The smell of various foods filled their nostrils. They looked around as saw various meats ranging from cows to chicken.
Dishes lined with fresh bread and fruits sat next to other dishes filled with lintels, olives, grapes and various beans and wheats that served as the sides. There were drinks present in the form of red, white, rose and port wines. Ronnicus looked around he swallowed hard as he took in another sniff of the smorgasbord as did his fellow soldiers.
"Welcome Spartans, I trust everything is to your liking?" A voiced asked.
Ronnicus looked ahead of the buffet to see a man seating before them. He was a hefty individual and he laid back as he was fed by two mortal women. He chuckled contently as he ate from the grapes fed to him. He wore a white chiton laced with gold hem. He wore a laurel reef around his head. He had brown hair and facial hair and his blue eyes scanned his guests causing him to smile more. One of the women wiped his mouth cleaning his beard of the foods he had eaten previous to their arrival. This was the God of Wine and Ritual Madness Dionysus.
"What is the meaning of this?" Ron asked.
"A truce." Dionysus proposed.
"You will not deceive us." Ron declared as he grabbed the hilt of his sword ready to draw it.
"There is no trickery to be found here. That was my brother Hermes' domain." Dionysus said. "Well until your red headed friend killed him. An eye for an eye I suppose." He said referring to Ares killing of the Demi goddess. "Still that doesn't mean we have to be barbarians does it?" He asked.
The Spartan General relaxed his grip on the sword. He took a deep breath as he looked at his men who looked back at them for their next move.
"Talk quick." The blonde said.
"Sit." He told them. "I had this meal prepared just for you."
"You knew we were coming?" Ronnicus questioned as he and his men took a seat. He surveyed the food once more. His men wasted no time digging into the food a sight that made the Wine God smile more.
"Athena was so sure that Olympus would be attacked by a gang of marauders." He said waving the matter off. "I of course was skeptical, but nonetheless…" He paused. "...Here we are." He said smiling once more.
"Tell me how do you plan to broker peace between our two warring sides?" The blonde asked.
"I don't." Dionysus stated simply.
"Come again." Ronnicus said more on edge now.
"I don't." The God repeated. "Our sides are too busy eating this foolish war. They refuse to make peace with each other because of bad blood." He explained. "But you and I, we have no quarrel."
"You speak the truth. But how do I know if you can be trusted? The Gods of Olympus have shown us that your words are for naught."
Dionysus held up his index finger as he was fed another grape. He chewed the fruit and swallowed it before answering the question.
"I'll protect you obviously. You'll have my blessing that I shall aid you if attacked by another Olympian." Dionysus responded.
"Your blessing?" Ronnicus said with an incredulous look. "You take me for a fool Dionysus. What could you offer us?"
"For one a bountiful harvest for you and your wife Bonnie."
"What can you give us that Demeter cannot?" Ronnicus proposed.
"Demeter has decided that she shall not provide any one with a flourishing crop when Persephone is not with her. That means you have to go a whole season without being able to provide your home without food." The Wine God said.
"And?" Ronnicus said rolling his hand around in a circle telling Dionysus to continue.
"I'll ensure that you and your men can provide for your families. You will not have to worry about the possibility of your children starving or over working yourselves to make sure you have food for the season."
"That sounds like a good offer." One of the Spartan soldiers said.
'Too good.' The Spartan General thought.
Ronnicus stared at the God eyeing him suspiciously. Dionysus merely smiled back as the women fed him more.
"I'll think about it." The blonde said as he silently doubted the God.
"Well how about a toast?" Dionysus said. Even though some of the soldiers had already drunk most of the wine from their cups.
Ronnicus looked around to see some of his men raise their cups as they prepared to toast with Dionysus. He looked back to the God in question and noticed something very peculiar. The whole time they were here, he never once sipped from the wine that sat at the buffet table.
Why wasn't he drinking? Surely the God could handle his own wine intake. He surveyed the men once more before staring at his cup of wine. Ronnicus picked up the cup and sniffed it. It was faint but it did smell a bit different than wine he was used to drinking. He was going to chalk it up to the wine having a divine scent and possible flavor when his instincts told him to glance back at the Wine God.
Once more Dionysus was smiling. However his smile was wider this time as he looked around the room. Once Dionysus locked eyes with Ronnicus he was able to read his expression better. The God once more grinned at the Spartan, leaving the blonde to wonder why he was smiling so hard. Then it hit him.
"Don't drink anymore of that wine!" Ronnicus said.
Dionysus burst out with laughter it was too late as far as he was concerned. Ron looked around as the heads of most of his soldiers hung low. Only four of his soldiers who did not drink the wine looked around in bewilderment.
Dionysus then finally picked up a cup as one of the women poured fresh wine in it.
"Let the Ritual Madness commence!" He shouted.
Upon saying that one of the Spartan soldiers cried out in pain. Ronnicus looked to see that his drunk soldiers had begun to attack his sober ones.

Shego, Hippolyta, Betty and Tara had also pressed deeper into the halls. Shego's mind was wondering about what she saw earlier. She wondered if that red lightning belonged to Kim. She battled with her mind as she knew full well what became of her lover. Still a part of her held out hope.
"Focus Shego." Hippolyta told her. "Danger could be around every corner."
Shego glanced at her mother to see the stern look she was given. Shego knew better than to let her mind wander on the battlefield.
"Sorry mother." She apologized.
"Don't be sorry. Be better." The Amazon Queen told her. "We don't know what we might run into here." She said as they rounded the corner only to come upon the God of War, Ares.
"Or who." He said with a smile.
Instantly Shego's expression changed. Her mind thinking back to one year ago. She could see Kim struggling in Ares' grip and she could hear her screams. She then could see Ares crush Kim, killing her and throwing her body forever out of the Amazon Princess' reach.
As the images flooded her mind she began to hyperventilate. Shego gripped her chest as she felt her heart ache and she dropped down to one knee.
"Princess!" Tara said as she came to Shego's aid.
Shego pushed her away with enough force Tara slid across the hall. A guttural growl escaped from Shego's lips as flames sparked from her fists every time she clenched them. Shego's body began to smoke as she rose slowly her eyes locked in to Ares'. The War God smiled he had a good feeling what was coming next, so he put on his helmet.
"I'm going to make you suffer, just like you made her suffer…" Shego told him.
"Is that so? How will you do that?" Ares asked his granddaughter.
Shego snapped and she grabbed the claws of Atropos from her hips and equipped them as she charged Ares.
"Ares!" She roared as she planned to erase him from existence.
Ares blocked her strike with his gauntlet pushing her back.
"Good, you've gotten stronger. Let your anger flow. It feeds my strength."
Shego charged back in. She attacked and Ares blocked it again this time Shego attacked again. Her fist was covered in green flames when she struck Ares slashing him across his chest. Leaving marks in his armor.
Ares knocked Shego back again. Fueled by her rage she didn't hesitate to charge the War God again. This time Ares drew his axe and it heated up with his energy as he prepared to cut through the Amazon Princess.
Shego found that she had been knocked on to her rear. When she glanced up she saw that her mother had blocked Ares attack. Her magical shield was fighting to overcome Ares' might and deflect the attack.
"Mother."
"Get back Shego. This is not a battle you are ready for just yet." Her mother told her.
"I disagree Hippolyta. You hold her back. Without you around she would be able to fight at her full potential. You are nothing but a hindrance." Ares told the Amazon Queen.
Shego watched her mother struggle against the War God's might. The light from her shield glowing brighter. Shego moved to aid her mother.
"Did you not hear me?" She said to her. "I said get out of here!"
Shego just stared at her mother before she felt a hand on her shoulder. She looked to see it was Tara as Betty stood behind the blonde. She reached her hand out to help Shego up. However Ares wasn't about to let them escape. He applied pressure to his axe, but Hippolyta did the same. She pushed back against her father and the resulting energies from their clash caused the floor to crack behind Hippolyta.
Shego, Tara and Betty looked around to see the cracks spread. Their dismay grew when they saw the floor begin to crumble away. Tara tried to get Shego up so they could escape, but the floor gave way and they soon found themselves plummeting into the depths of Olympus. Shego watched as her mother still continued her struggle with Ares, as the light from her shield rapidly faded from her eyes.
"Mother!" Shego screamed out as she, Tara and Betty fell into the darkness.
