The battle rages on and the Champions experience their Gods' true power
Malfested corpses littered the waters and shores the battle raged on for hours the longer it went on the more destroyed the landscape would be. Bellona crashed in front of Oscar and Peter raising her shield to block a fierce blast from Rishka. "Go run!"
A strong kick closed Bellona's jaw raising her into the air she caught her self mid-air Rishka fired another blast from her mouth Bellona charged forward using the enchantment on her shield to deflect it. The blast sent Rishka into the ground Bellona heard a explosion she jump into the distance Oscar and Peter just watched. "Jayson are you still there?" Heavy panting came through their earphones. "
Yeah say the word and we'll get you outta there." Margaret was running towards the two following close behind her was Yamor long tendrils wrapped around her legs. "Help!" Oscar and Peter rushed in empty handed all they could do was punch at the Darkbeast's legs. "I'll devour all you!" The other two were grabbed then they were dropped the blade of an axe slammed through the Darkbeast and hoisted him in the air. "Xing!" Yamor was slammed into the ground green flames erupted from underneath him forming a large pillar that rose into the sky darkening them. The Champions paused running to watch the skies.
"What're you doing let's get outta here!" Peter barked orders at the other Champions they continued to the docks until they were stopped by a Darkbeast once again. "You won't escape me this time Champions!" Calamity charged up a mouth blast before he could fire a boar slammed into his chest causing the beast to open his mouth wide. Artemis fired her air striking the ball of energy the impact of her magic arrow caused the ball to explode blowing the beast head off his shoulders allowing the Champions to continue. They were close to the docks Bellona crashed down in front of them Oscar came to a grinding halt letting his team mates pass him. "Bellona!" He knelt down to her and began to shake her in attempt to get her back up.
"Please Bellona get back up!" Yamor rose from the ground towering over the young Champion charging up a mouth beam Oscar grabbed her shield and raised it over his head. The beam hit the shield activating the reflective enchantment lifting the Darkbeast off his feet Oscar still frozen in fear watched the Darkbeast get back up. "You made a grave mistake." Yamor raise his fist and slammed it down onto the shield he kept doing this until the boy's arms started to give out. "Bellona help!" Before Yamor could finish the boy off a arrow pierced his chest and a loud sizzle noise emitted from the arrow following with a large combustion on his body. "Kid come on!" Artemis called out to him Oscar lifted Bellona onto her feet she snapped back into her awakened state. Jayson appeared out of the corner with a large metal contraption carried in both hands Cabrakhan write behind him.
"You're sure it's ready?" Cabrakhan asked.
"Yeah I'm sure just tell me when to shoot!" Jayson snapped back.
The Darkbeast followed the Champions and Gods to the portal.
"Almost." Cabrakhan whispered adjusting the gun.
Vamos threw Ravana into the ground he stomped him further into the stone Dmitri ran to his God. Vamos grabbed the Champion by the leg dragging him across the stone and lifting him into the air.
"Fire now!" Jayson did so pressing a small red button unleashing a large fiery blue beam swallowing up multiple Darkbeast. Vamos turned his head towards the beam dropping the Champion leaving him in front of the beam Dmitri lifted his arm to shield his eyes the boy was done for. The blast struck a Cliffside creating a large explosion everything stopped for a second before anyone could mourn the loss of Dmitri Artemis rose from the rubble carrying him. The everyone entered the portal returning to the Nexus the portal instantly closed after that the Champions were exhausted. Their bodies aren't used to Janus' portals causing fatigue like effect on them it'd go away in an hour's time.
"What the hell happened out there?!" Jayson asked.
"We were investigating a possible Darkbeast-" Peter was interrupted.
"I know that but everything else like that shark thing."
"The Darkbeast?" Peter guessed.
"That's what it is?!" A loud metallic crash ended their conversation.
"Though I don't much about these Darkbeast myself. I do know conflict is approach quickly and we must train harder the real battle has yet to begin." Bellona added in.
Though the Champions usually would've protested but the situation they were currently in training was what they needed most. After a few hours of rigorous training each and every Champion stood though they were weakened. The Gods and Champions entered a fierce stare down the kids were on the verge of collapsing they were ready to surrender however Brock had a different idea. He readied an arrow before he could even pull back his arrow Artemis' struck him in the chest sending the boy flying back.
"Brock!" Jayson called out rushing to his aid.
"I'm fine."
The other Champions stood exhausted yet fierce.
"You're all true Champions." Kali complemented them.
"Now you all need rest so return home if you wish." Bellona stated.
Most Champions returned home some stayed of course for extra training.
The next day- Boston
He was being followed he knew it two tall bulky men had been trailing him there was a small spot in his head believing they were Darkbeast. He was on his way to school when he noticed the same two people following him on his way. Oscar looked around for animals then he found a large German Shepard down the sidewalk he continued moving sidewalk. Once he passed the dog entered an alleyway the dog became aggressive growling and barking at the two. Oscar needed more evidence he wasn't going to risk getting behind them to see if they had shadows but there was a electronics store nearby with UV lights that'd put the nail in the coffin. He popped out the other side of the alley and continued to the electronics store looking behind him the two were not far behind him. Oscar weaved in and out of the crowd he was approaching the store and the two men were right behind him Oscar entered the UV light's ray just as one of the men gripped his shoulder. Claws sunk into his shoulder as the fake skin began to fade away Oscar felt the rush of adrenaline he spun around unsheathing his bat colliding into the side of it's head. The Darkbeast fell into the UV light scorching his skin revealing his true form Oscar pulled out his holodisc sending out a voice message alerting all the Champions. "The Darkbeast they're after me!" A tendril wrapped around his ankle and dragged him across concrete until he lied in front of Calamity his throat was gripped tightly before he could've been killed his team teleported in.
