Updated/Polished Chapter. Basically all the chapters are being polished. Doesn't even matter.
Damn Daniel, it been a few days. Lots of PM questions about the story and me still. I updated my profile with some questions asked to me by PM, since I don't want people asking questions about ME on the story, because who wants to know about me right!?
Anyway, some people were smart and actually figured out some of the references in this story so far! Here they are if you haven't found them yet or just didn't PM me questions.
1. The glowing/shining/burning eye that the gods get when they are angry or about to fight is a reference to the 2015 game Undertale by Toby Fox. Good game, unfortunately cancerous fanbase.
2. The Iron Legion, is from a game called For Honor. I want that game…but can't afford it. Damn it.
3. Neith's attire is loosely based on the attire of Lara Croft from Tomb Raider
4. The scene where Freya's soul refused to die in the last chapter was also a reference to Undertale.
As always, thanks for the recent support! This story has somehow made it to 1000 views already! I have no idea how I did it, I personally write this for fun, and I don't even think it's that good either.
Anywho, now to the actual Chapter.
In Odin's Palace…
"Ah how do want me to do this!" Vulcan shouted.
"Anyway you can do it! I don't care! I just want some sort of weapon I can use when those pesky Gods of Chaos get up in my face! All I need is a cool looking fire sword!" Sol urged.
"Do you really need something else? I already made all the clothes, shoes, socks, gloves, bra's, panties, hats, ear rings, bracelets, necklaces, all flame retardant and proof! Even that stupid Blue band I made fire proof."
"Hey it's not stupid! You fight for that side too! And yes I know, my clothes look awesome! They look super shiny, kinda like aluminum foil…"
"YES BECAUSE THAT IS HOW IT NEEDS TO BE!" Vulcan yelled. He yelled so hard that Sol covered her ears and went into the fetal position whilst in the air. Vulcan stared at Sol with a clenched fist.
"Now, Now...What is the allfuss about in here?" Rama said as he walked into Vulcan's forgery room.
"Ugh...Now I have to deal with a pacifist." Vulcan groaned.
"I am not a true pacifist. I will fight for what is right. Which is why I fight for the New Order, But I still try to keep violence to a minimum. Especially among my fellow gods." Rama politely replied.
"Yeah whatever." Vulcan replied, obviously annoyed.
Sol stared at Vulcan, her hands intertwined with each other as if praying. She stared at Vulcan with cute eyes, a sad expression and her legs up in her chest.
"Ugh…FINE! But I need one thing."
"WHAT, I'LL DO ANYTHING! Except sexual favors...BUT I'VE ALWAYS WANTED A SWORD!" She shouted eagerly.
Rama and Vulcan stared at Sol about her sexual favor comment.
"Woah. Looks like it's going a little nuts in here ain't it?" Ratatoskr commented as he jumped down from a hole in the roof.
"Uhh…PLEASE JUST IGNORE THAT! I really want a fire sword..." Sol put her hands together.
Vulcan cleared his throat "Very well then Sol, I will need a fire rune. With that engraved into the hilt, it will light up into a primordial flame, you will control it and make it take the shape of a blade. That flame will deflect enemy swords, and burn anything that can be burned. As well as will be able to cut holes in walls and melt through things." He explained.
"That….That's AWESOME!" Sol hugged Vulcan. Vulcan felt Sol's warm heat, as if he were hugging a teddy bear that had a small heater inside of it. Vulcan struggled not to hug back. But he was better than that.
"Sol, take someone with you."
"Like who?" Sol asked.
"I may be able to help with that." Poseidon interrupted as he entered the room with Odin at his side.
"Sol! Where are you off too?" Odin demanded to know.
"I want a weapon to fight the Gods of Chaos with…besides by magic and spells, so I'm off to go find a fire rune, and apparently I'm going with Poseidon." Sol signaled the Ocean God.
"And me! It gets super boring in this place. I want to see if we run into any of those Chaos knuckle heads out there and get to crush em like a walnut!" Ratatoskr laughed.
"Very well, you three can go. But I hope you know that you can only get a fire rune from the chest of a fire giant."
"Yes. And the last REAL Fire Giant was killed to start this whole mess."
"Real?" Sol asked with curious eyes.
"Yes of course you wouldn't know. We lived peacefully with Fire Giants, they would help us fuel the Pantheons with their primordial fire. Over time, The Fire Giant's began to die out, they released TONS of energy that would be equally shared between all the Pantheons. But now, the last Fire Giant was killed to give Hades and his army incredible power..." Odin shook his head.
"What about the Fire Giants we fight in the Conquest Arena? Or the chests?" Sol asked.
"All those jungle monsters and the Fire Giant are fake, they are created by the Arena. When killed, all they do is enhance some of our powers. That Fire Giant is merely a creation of the Arena, and not nearly as powerful as a real Fire Giant." Odin clarified.
"Oh…and the chest?"
"Ah yes. Inside the chest, there is usually tons of gold and riches. There is also a single fire giant rune. It is guarded by small Fire Imps, but they should be no threat. There are Portal Demons there though...but I don't doubt that The Chaos Gods are killing them for the portals they create, to get around easier." Odin crossed his arms.
"Ooh…what about Gold Fury's? Are those real?" Sol asked another question.
"No. They are also creations of the Arena to give us more currency to buy items from the also Arena created Titans." Odin sighed.
"Yes, but I heard that the Iron Legion made their own Titans. They are called Omicrons." Vulcan blurted out.
Fun Fact: Omicron, is the fifteenth letter of the Greek Alphabet.
"Wait…Vulcan. How did you know that?" Poseidon asked with a sharp look in his eyes.
"….Yes…How did you know that?" Odin added.
Ratatoskr jumped into Sol's arms as a worried look came over her face. Rama stepped in front of Sol, a blank look on his face.
"I-I…I RAN INTO ONE! Yeah that's it! I was on my way back to the Roman pantheon before I veered off because of that thing, and then ran into you Odin!" Vulcan panicked.
"Hmm. I sense a lie." Rama murmered.
"So do I. But we must not jump to conclusions; we need Vulcan for his tools and craftsmanship. We talk about this later." Odin said sternly, before leaving the room.
"Alright then! Let's goo!" Ratatoskr skittered out of the room. Sol and Poseidon followed close behind.
Below Mt Olympus…
The sound of fire was could be heard. The clash of weapons and shields, grunts, shouts, and screams. The minions of the Iron Legion finally began the march for the gods of the New Order. The remaining Greek Army struggled to fight the Fire Minions.
Among them, gods were fighting as well, Scylla and Agni aiding the rest of the takeover of the Greek Pantheon. And helping the Greek resistance, Anhur, Thor, Tyr, and Khepri.
Up top on the peak of Mt. Olympus, it looked like a fire work show. The leaders of the Iron Legion proud of their soldiers, Sun Wukong and Osiris observed below, admiring the view of the red armies of fire minions against small groups of blue and silver uniformed Greek warriors, the catapults firing like crazy, the flaming rocks across the sky and the explosions they made looked at the utmost intriguing. Susano sat in silence as he tried to divide his attention between 3 things: The first battles of the ruthless Iron Legion, Athena and Ares fighting, and the whereabouts of his beloved sister, Amaterasu. While Hades, Thanatos, Nox, Ao Kuang, and Kukulkan looked at what was happening before them.
Athena backed up, her head tucked under her shield as she blocked a strong overhand attack from Ares. Ares continued striking Athena, he attacked her from the right then left, he flamethrowered Athena, then tried to attack again. Athena blocked everything, her shield strong and sturdy. Athena popped her head up to see Ares panting for breath.
"Tired so soon Ares?"
Athena rushed forward. She jumped up and struck Ares in the chest with her spear. Athena swept her spear at Ares's legs. Ares fell on his back. Athena then attempted a strike with her spear while Ares was down, but she received a flame from his shield that sent her straggling backward.
"You look a little hot sister. Maybe I can cool you off. My chains are pretty cold."
Ares threw two chains at Athena, both wrapped around her arms, she was left open. Ares had a chance to stab her right in the chest, but he knew her sister better than that. He made the chains turn hot as melted steel.
Athena shrieked in pain as the red hot chains pierced skin. Ares pulled himself forward using his chains and rammed straight into Athena, knocking her to the ground. The Goddess had tears in her eyes, she kneeled on all fours, as if accepting her death, as if waiting for a gruesome execution. Ares ran toward Athena with his sword raised.
"ITS OVER!" Ares yelled.
Athena clenched her fists. "No...NOT YET! GUUAAAHH!" She roared, she fired up a yellow aura, stopping Ares in his tracks. The aura disappeared as the flame in her eye lit up.
"I won't go down so easily."
Athena got into stance then disappeared, she reappeared right in front of Ares, and began to pummel him. She made it obvious she was going in for a gut punch, Ares moved to block it, but Athena switched her attack.
"Huh?!"
Athena hit Ares right in the jaw with a devastating back kick, sending him crashing into a wall with a cloud of dust surrounding him.
"Argh...What the..."
Athena had no mercy, she summoned her spear, and threw it as hard as she could.
"GLAAAHH!" Ares gutted out, his blood splattered all over the floor.
The spear was stuck in Ares' body, going clean through and into the wall.
"Well…If this isn't a good show then I don't know what isss." Kukulkan slithered.
Athena stood up. Only her Shield in hand. Ares looked at Athena, blood leaking from the sides of his mouth.
"What the hell are you waiting for! Finish me!" Ares grunted, he spit out his own blood.
Athena looked down.
"Hmph. Fine then. Ares ripped out the spear from his chest and threw it back at Athena, who quickly deflected it with her shield, making it fly to the side.
Ares charged at Athena. Athena did not care. She charged right back at him, no spear. The 2 siblings clashed shields. Ares raised his sword and swung it down. Athena moved to the side and kidney punched Ares, hard. Athena followed up with hitting Ares in the back of the head with the edge of her shield. She went behind Ares. She kicked him forward. Ares stumbled toward a wall. Athena summoned her spear and threw it once again. Ares luckily matrixed it.
"I do not want to kill you…brother." Athena said sternly.
"Then we will be here forever sister." Ares responded.
"Did you and your sister ever fight like this?" Thanatos teased to Susano.
Susano clenched his first has a blue flame could be seen from under his hat.
"No. Only once, when she first came out of that cave...the cave I put her in. She defeated me. But…she gave me mercy."
"Sounds pathetic." Thanatos replied.
"Just like your love life." Susano responded.
All the gods on top of the cloud, even Nox and Hades responded with a loud:
"OOOHHHHHHH"
"Are you calling Bellona a bad girlfriend? She is the opposite of unattractive."
"Yeah I know that. Whew!" Susano tipped his hat. The angry blue flame disappeared.
"That girl is something else! I'll tell ya, sexy as a motherfucker." Susano exclaimed.
"But I have no idea how she fell for YOU. You got lucky with her." Sun Wukong added, as he patted Susano on the back.
"The why are you calling my love live pathetic?"
"Cause you've only had one girlfriend. Even your dumbass should have more than one. I mean Bellona is a doozy but still. Pathetic." Susano finished.
All the gods responded with another:
"OHHHH"
"Ah I'm done with this. I'm out of here. I'm going to go help down there. Those New Order gods are actually holding up against the Iron Legion. Hey Sun Wukong, Osiris, Kukulkan, Fafnir. I thought you all commanded that army. Why aren't you down there alongside them?" Thanatos said.
"They can certainly handle themselves. Plus they got Scylla and Agni down there with them." Sun Wukong responded.
"Whatever. I'm going to see if I can reap an immortal soul today…" Thanatos said has he flew up into the air.
"He's just mad he got burned." Susano teased. All the gods laughed, even Hades let out a small:
"Tsk…hehe"
Athena hit Ares with her shield which Ares deflected. He also blocked an overhand attack from her.
"Sister! Stop this!"
Athena did not let her guard down but asked behind her shield: "Why? What is wrong? You finally realized who you have been fighting? Who you are fighting for? Why you are even doing this?" Athena shouted.
"No. I have been well aware of all those things." Ares looked up at Hades.
"HADES! Why are we doing trial by combat? What is the point? What will happen if she wins?" Ares shouted at Hades.
"If you win, then that's that. Athena is dead. Good day." Hades responded. Athena closed her eyes in frustration.
"If you lose…then you are dead. That's that. Athena gets to go her own way."
"She LEAVES?" Ares shouted back.
"Only to be killed another day, Ares." Hades responded.
Athena ran forward as he charged up into Ares. She hit him across the chest. Ares responded to a chain to her leg that made her trip and fall. Ares dragged Athena toward him. Athena quickly got up, but only rose to get head butted by Ares, and was knocked back down. Athena slowly got back up.
Ares hit her sister with a direct hit to her boob. Blood spilled on the floor. Athena shrieked momentarily as she braced herself for internal bleeding. Both siblings saw that this was going nowhere. They both looked down to see the blood from both of them spilled all over the ground, the same blood, the blood of siblings.
"Cede, Frater!" Athena shouted at Ares, using their native tongue.
"Interficiam Te!" Ares shouted back as he charged at Athena.
Down in the Greek battlefield…
The soldiers of the Iron Legion were highly trained, they used strategy, always remained calm and collected, they always moved forward, they rarely got tired. They were the ultimate army.
The Greek resistance was messy, untrained, frantic, and was outnumbered. If it wasn't for the gods fighting alongside them, they would not have the Determination to keep fighting.
Thor spun his hammer around him; Iron Legion soldiers in the area were hit hard and fell to the ground with a thud. Anhur commanded a small group of well trained, Egyptian commandos, as well as the Greek resistance. He endlessly threw spears at the shields and waves of Iron Legion soldiers that were before him.
Every spear impaled and killed 1 soldier, maybe 2 if they were close together. Anhur threw the spears far too hard for them to be blocked by their shields, if they attempted, the spear would either go through the shield, or the soldier would fall to the ground, and get stomped on my his fellow warriors, the Iron Legion…always moved forward.
Tyr fought with a furious passion, every swing her took killed at least 4 soldiers. He threw his sword up into the air then caught it and jumped to a location in the center of the Iron Legion's charge. Killing at least 60 soldiers in one fell swoop.
Khepri was in the front lines, not only healing and reviving the Greek soldiers, but helping them fight. He clawed and disintegrated the Iron Legion's soldiers. Whenever he saw a Greek soldier die, he would do what he can to help him get revived. Khepri obviously could not keep everyone from dying, which is why he kept yelling"
"Look out for each other!"
"Watch your ally's backs but don't forget about your own!"
"Fight as one! Help one another!"
The Greek resistance held strong.
"Burn in flames!" Agni shouted as he flushed down an area in front of him with fire from his molten rock hand. A little girl walked up next to him. It was Scylla.
"Oh…I have better things to be doing right now." Scylla whined, her arms crossed.
Agni seemed annoyed as a huge rock landed behind him. "Then go play with the resistance then. And take out those catapults!"
"Fine."
Both the Iron Legion and the Greek soldiers towered over Scylla, but she did not care. She threw a ball of green acid at the men who attempted to attack her, melting through their armor and killing them within seconds.
"La La La La La! Hmm…oh did that hurt! I'm SO sorry! Awww…your dead! Boop!" Scylla giggled as she walked past the fields of soldiers before finally reaching the front lines.
Anhur stopped dead in his tracks. Thor did as well.
"Oh. Hi! Are you guys trying to help?"
"Quite the opposite young one." Anhur responded, he roared loudly, so loudly in fact, that it made Scylla's ears bleed. He was surrounded in a large orange aura, when he stopped roaring. His orange eye flame began to burn.
He threw a spear at Scylla, which she swiftly moved to the side to dodge.
"Hey! That wasn't very ni-"
Thor cut her off by suddenly teleporting in front of Scylla and hitting her with his hammer, head on. It sent her flying though a bunch of Iron Legion soldiers.
Scylla crashed right into a catapult that completely destroyed it. But before that, Scylla made it fire. The projectile hit right in the middle of the field, where Tyr was.
"Hey good job Scylla!" Agni shouted.
"What the hell?! Is that supposed to be a joke! I just murdered like…90 of our own men!" Scylla responded, completely enraged.
"Heeyy…I didn't know you could count to 90! Anyways, I'm not talking about that idiot. You just injured Tyr, lets finish him!"
Scylla began to smile. "WOOO!" Scylla clenched her fists, her green aura flared, until her eye flame absorbed all the power.
"I'll gladly join." She wiped her nose in arrogance.
Tyr crawled out of the impact area, he didn't look to good.
"Odin protect me…Argh!" Tyr groaned as he continued crawling. He reached for his sword, until a flaming hot boot made out of obsidian stepped on his hand.
"GAAAAAHHHAH!" Tyr shouted as his one good hand was burned and melted under Agni's powerful step.
"What's wrong Lawbringer? Can't take a little 7th degree burn?" Agni laughed.
"GET OFF OF HIM!" Khepri yelled as he grabbed Agni tightly in his Pincers and pulled him away.
"Let me go you stupid crab!"
"I'm actually a scarab!" Khepri corrected as he threw Agni in the air. Agni landed right in front of Scylla. Khepri launched a yellow ball of magic that went through both of them, burning their skin.
Thor helped Tyr up, but Tyr's hand was completely disintegrated. He was going to bleed out if he did not get medical attention right away.
"Thor! Get him out of here! Go somewhere safe!" Anhur yelled.
"I will not leave you two here! I will stand and fight!" Thor yelled back. Valleys of arrows now flying from the side of the Iron Legion. Anhur quickly picked up a shield from a Greek soldier and turned it to gold. He blocked the arrows swiftly.
Khepri tanked the arrows for Tyr and Thor. Iron Legion soldiers hitting and cutting Khepri's metal like exoskeleton.
"You must, Son of Odin. You have to do the right thing!" Anhur yelled.
A shadow came over the sky as a Anhur, Thor, and Tyr looked at the ground, and were surprised to see the shadow of a strange looking bird, they looked up to see death itself hovering over Thor and Tyr.
"THOR LEAVE NOW, TYR IS WEAK HE IS EASY-" Anhur stopped mid-sentence to see Thor get thrown aside and Tyr executed.
"NOO! KHEPRI! USE YOUR REVIVE ON TYR!"
"I CANNOT! ARGH, THIS LITTLR GIRL HAS ME-" 1 of Scylla's dogs covered up Khepri's mouth as the other 3 held him down while Agni tortured the poor scarab with his fire, slowly burning through Khepri's armor, making sure he feels every little bit of pain and burn.
Thor felt a hand hold his shoulder. "We shall all perish here if you do not leave. It will be for no cause and a pitiful death, I promise you Son of Odin, I will fight until my last breath…GO, warn any other gods you can! And tell them about us...Tell them…the Iron Legion is coming…" Anhur nodded
his head.
"No, please do not make me do this. I will stay here! I WILL NOT LEAVE WITHOUT YOU, ALL OF YOU!" Thor insisted.
"Except for Tyr that is." Thanatos joked as he carried Tyr's body in one hand by the throat, and then threw him aside.
"You pitiful excuse for a god...FIGHT ME!" Thor yelled at Thanatos with all his rage.
Scylla and Agni laughed as they looked at Khepri's burned and charred carcass.
"Woowee! Now that...Smells horrible. Almost like your armpits Anhur." Thanatos chuckled.
Agni, Scylla, and other Iron Legion soldiers nearby laughed profoundly.
Anhur threw a huge valley of spears at everything around him. Iron Legion soldiers were killed and melted by the wave of spears. Scylla, Agni, and Thanatos with a bloody scythe inched closer.
"Thor! GO!"
"Never!"
"Godammit Thor!" Anhur punched Thor square in the jaw. "GO NOW! Please…"
Scylla grabbed Anhur by the stomach and laughed as she raised him up into the air.
"Tell the gods of the New Order! Tell them our tale! Tell them about our glory in battle! Warn them! The Iron Legion is coming!"
Thor stared at Anhur as he was carried away.
"Go! NOW!"
Thor closed his eyes and held Mjolnir tightly. He crouched down and began to spin the hammer. He spun it faster, and faster, and faster. Until finally, without looking back, he took to the skies.
Thor had tears in his eyes as he hovered over the ruined lands of the Greek pantheon. He saw Anhur get ripped apart in Scylla's grasp. Ripped in half, destroyed, a painful way to go. He heard the Iron Legion cheer as Scylla raised up Anhur's torso and Tyr's body in the air. Thanatos flew over the army of Iron Legion soldiers carrying Khepri's large head.
"They will pay for this…All of them…the Iron Legion, the Gods of Chaos…Hades. All of them."
Okay...that's done. But there's more ahead. Hopefully you new readers are enjoying the story!
Original Author's Note: Alright then! This chapter was all about what was happening in the Iron Legion infested lands of the Greek pantheon, the Gods of Chaos are trying to gain territory, the own all of the Greek, and Celtic pantheon. They have also given the Celtic and Greek armies the Fire Giant power, and have all been folded into the Iron Legion. But everything else belongs to the New Order, for now at least. Like Anhur said…the Iron Legion is coming. Athena and Ares are still fighting. I'm not too sure how to end that fight. But I'll come up with something…
R.I.P Khepri
R.I.P Tyr
R.I.P Anhur
