Here's another chapter, full of hearty cynicism. Who wants to hear Athena bitch about humans?
Nomercy745: Oh, wow.
Chocoguy12: We'll see.
FeraliPerv94: Yes. Yes she is.
Malory79080: Yes, he really is.
Electrifry: Well, we'll see what happens, won't we?
Mr. Brandloyal: That's not exactly how Landorus is. But we'll see it when it happens.
Blake's Moemon Adventure: Chronicles of Truth
Chapter 12
"I have no need to address you." Athena said, turning away from Dr. Jones. "Humans have no authority over me."
"Well, what are you going to do now?" Dr. Jones asked. "You don't have anywhere to go to. Your kingdom is gone, your power has long since died out. No one remembers you or the other Noble Knights."
"Silence, vermin." Athena said, walking towards Dr. Jones. "If I hear any more of your blasphemous words, I shall cut out your wretched tongue."
"You're not the only one with power." Dr. Jones said, smiling. "Why don't we see just how strong the pride of the Noble Knights is when compared to the moemon of today?"
"Okay, I think that's enough." Cynthia said, stepping between the two. "Listen, Athena…"
"Do not address me by my name." Athena said, glaring at Cynthia. "My name is far too magnificent to be spoken by such an inferior species."
This girl… Cynthia thought, smiling, an irritation mark throbbing on her head. Through gritted teeth, she managed to spit out a "sorry."
"I need not here apologies from one of your kind." Athena said, continuing to give Cynthia an even frown. "I would never hold your kind to a level where you could be my equal. It is only natural that your species act in an inferior manner to someone of my stature."
"…Blake, you go back with Hughes." Cynthia said, smiling, unable to continue a conversation with Athena without attempting to punch her out. "I'll head back and pick up your moemon. I'm sure they'll be overjoyed to know you're safe."
"All right." Blake said, nodding. Cynthia headed out towards her villa, and the rest headed into the large mansion.
"Humans have taken over this planet…" Athena said, pressing her hand against the windowpane as she looked out at the rain pouring down.
"Kind of, yeah." Blake said, nodding.
"When I ruled this planet, there were fields of green as far as the eye could see." Athena said, staring out at the sea. "Beings evolved to be capable of ruling over the forces of nature, and they were seen as gods. And those of my stature and skill… Truly we were gods to the unskilled masses."
"Interesting…" Hughes said frowning. He was sitting on one of the chairs, staring at Athena. "So you were alive before the existence of moemon…"
"Moemon…" Athena said, venom obvious in her voice. "What a word… Another one of your human phrases?"
"Yeah, I guess." Hughes said, nodding.
"Strange…" Athena said, looking at her hand. "This form I find myself trapped in… Disgusting. You humans have such weak, frail bodies. You have two legs, yet you can stand… In place of front legs, you have these useless hands…"
"It disgusts me." Athena said, turning to Hughes, Blake and Dr. Jones. "Looking like you, it's disgusting. This stringy hair, these eyes that are not my own, such a small mouth, and this unneeded weight within my body…"
Athena ran her hand across her breasts, and looked up at them. "What need have I for these?"
"Well, um…" The three men said, looking away.
"Of course." Athena said, frowning. "You humans utilize breasts as a method of nurturing their young. However, moemon have no need for such things. Why would they be created with such an unneeded triviality?"
"Gee, I wonder why…" The three men said again, looking away, Tara rolling her eyes in disgust.
"I remember humans well…" Athena said, frowning. "Oh, yes."
"So humans existed at the same time you did?" Blake asked, shocked.
"Of course they did." Athena said, glaring at him. "Little insignificant insects, scurrying around in the woodwork. Made only to worship beings superior to them. And yet even at this, they were inferior."
"What-"
"Humans would brag about their pride in humanity, and yet would be driven to violence with little to no provocation. Their slovenly nature prevented them from properly worshipping us." Athena continued, staring out the window. "Instead, they would allow themselves to stagnate in rampant fornication and overconsumption. Their greed knew no bounds as they coveted that which was not theirs. They even coveted the power of those above them, seeking to take it for their own."
She turned back to Blake again.
"A weak, pathetic child species. This planet is wasted on them." Athena said, frowning. "How such a species could seize control of the world, I do not understand it."
"Well, it was mostly opposable thumbs." Hughes said, frowning.
"And fire." Blake added, nodding.
"And a bit of the 'rampant fornication' you were talking about earlier." Dr. Jones said, smirking.
"Obvious." Athena said, frowning. "If I had not gone to rest, this world would still be mine."
"So why do you think you awakened in this world?" Blake asked, frowning. "I mean, there must be some reason you would awaken now of all times."
"Isn't it obvious?" Athena asked, frowning. "It is my duty to cleanse the world of humanity. In doing so, I can allow the great beings to once again rise to their stature."
"Really?" Dr. Jones asked, smirking. "So, what then?"
"Explain your insolent tone, maggot." Athena said, glaring at Dr. Jones.
"So, you want to wipe out all of humanity to regain your power?" Dr. Jones asked, laughing. "And what then? If mankind dies, you will have no one to worship you."
"…" Athena was silent. "I have no need for humans to worship me. With greatness such as myself, anything that lives will bow to me in worship. And those that do not kneel before me will not be needed."
"…You know, you remind me a lot of Aurore." Dr. Jones said, laughing.
Yes. Yes she does. A cynic.
