"M-Master...A-Agae has news…news for...M-Master."

"What is it?"

Recently, every time the satyr reports to the big cheese, he gets more and more terrified each time he brings news, whether good or bad, especially bad news since it resulted with him being flung out from the throne room or his horns on fire.

"Y-Young gods are not with gods. They are at human mall...one of them…missing." he said as he trembled on the floor he stood, wishing he had a shield with him or something that he could hide from his master's glaring eyes. Then again, he once asked for Athena's Aegis, which resulted with him almost being served for dinner if Rhea didn't interfere.

"Who's missing?"

"T-The fire god…"

His eyes narrowed. "And where are my sons?"

The satyr ran behind one of the pillars and shrieked "A-Agae d-d-don't know! P-Please don't hurt A-Agae!"

"If you don't come out of there this instance, I will cut your tongue off!"

"A-A-Agae is out! Agae is out!" He ran back to his place and bowed to him.

Cronus sneered. "What kind of news is this?! I told you to bring me news that will aid me in getting rid of them!"

Without looking up, he said "This i-is p-perfect t-time to send junior t-titans... to destroy, m-mini gods...master..."

He was about to shout when he realized what the creature was trying to say. He smirked at the thought and said "Yes~…yes, that is indeed a perfect time." He conjured a rope and pulled it down to summon the trio. Minutes later, they've arrived and were awaiting their Uncle's orders. "From the looks of it, you've been helping your cousin train, that's good. Very good, and I know exactly how to find out with this effortless mission I shall give you."

None of the three spoke, but two of them glanced at one another.

"This will just take you a few hours," He chuckled darkly. "or maybe even minutes. I want you to eliminate some relatives of yours."

The shortest titan asked "I-If I may ask, who these relatives you speak of?"

Cronus laughed evilly, enough for his audience to tremble in fear. "Zeus' Olympian sons. I want you three to kill them, all of them. Let their blood shed."


"…Umm~"

When these four were together, never have they experienced this kind of uncomfortable situations. At this point of their relationship, they will mostly fool around like any normal teenage boys do, sadly, without the presence of the other they might remain in this awkward atmosphere.

"…So…do you guys want to do something…anything?" asked Apollo as he looked at each of them who were playing with their food. "We still have two hours until they fetch us…would you like to go somewhere?"

He bit his tongue as he watched he watched his brothers gaze somewhere. He turned his head to Ares and said "Marko, do you want to go to the sports house? I heard they are having a sale and you could buy new equipment for your game." He didn't receive an answer, so he hopefully looked at Hermes across from him. "Hey Daisuke, let's go to the arcade, you could teach me how to play that…what's that again?...Ah! Whack-a-Chicken."

The boy just hummed.

Apollo sighed, but he still was hoping when he asked Dionysus "They're offering grape tarts at that store, I'm sure you'll love it!"

"…I'm not in the mood…"

Apart from Apollo, Ares and Hermes couldn't believe on what they have heard.

Dionysus' not in the mood for some grapes?

It's like the apocalypse for them.

The blond boy had had enough of their drama and slammed the table. "I don't understand what the three of you are moping about! I mean, just look at yourselves! I know that we are at fault but get a grip! He wouldn't like to see us like this! And what proof do I have? In one point, I saw it myself from him, and he wants us to be happy, even just by making us weapons or armory or jewelries, even if we teased him, even if the whole world looked down on him, all he cares is his family!" A small smile crept up his lips. "He'll come back, so don't worry. And if he doesn't, we'll find him and drag him back up to Mt. Olympus and take back what's ours!" He saw two of his brothers having a smile on their faces, the other though looked at his untouched plate.

"Yeah! Revolution!" exclaimed Hermes.

Followed by Dionysus "Grape tarts!"

"…"

Apollo got up and went to pull Ares up while saying "C'mon, let's enjoy ourselves before the ol' trio comes back!'

"Hey- What the- I don't want to! Just leave me alone!" Ares easily pushed Apollo, until he was resisting the three of them. He could use his inhumane strength, but in the end, and for some reason, he let himself be swept away.

But first, they headed for the store with the grape tarts.

Moments later, they found themselves among the crowd as they made their way to the benches at the middle.

"Alright, what do you guys want to do?" asked Apollo. He looked at each one of them, Dionysus shrugged, Hermes shook his head, and Ares was still looking far away from them. He was about to suggest something when Hermes exclaimed "Hey, I know! The first one to get a number from a chick wins!"

He was about to retort when Dionysus agreed. "Why not, it's been awhile. Let's see if we could get older women in these bodies."

Apollo cocked an eyebrow and crossed his arms. "When you mean by older, do you mean like Ms. Lexton?"

The two cringed and feigned a barf.

"Yuck! Eww~! Hell no!" said Hermes with a disgusted look.

Dionysus was holding his stomach as he muttered "I think I'm gonna be sick…"

Apollo chuckled, feeling content with the atmosphere among them, even if the other was still lost in his thoughts. "Fine, but each of us is only given one chance, got it?"

In agreement, Dionysus went first as the other three watched him from the benches. Whenever a beautiful woman passed by, he would flash his smile and some of them will return the favor, and that's it. He decided to change his tactic and went to the first woman he saw, sitting by herself on one of the benches.

"Good afternoon, my name's Eladio, and may I ask the creature's name?"

The lady raised an eyebrow. "Creature?"

He chuckled. "Why yes, a beautiful creature like you must have an elegant name~"

Her forehead knitted together and said in a harsh voice. "Go away."

"I will, if you leave me your number~"

Her mouth formed an "O". "Who do you think you are?!"

"I'm the one who would be waking up in your bed tomorrow~" he said with a smile.

*smack*

"What did he say?" Apollo muttered while he heard Hermes laughing beside him.

Dionysus came back grinning, even though he has a swollen cheek. "She's hot!"

Hermes stood up and patted his shoulder. "Just watch and learn bro." He made his way to the crowd and showed his cute smile with every woman who passed by him, but he was only attracting teenage girls, and even kids. A few minutes later, little girls were starting to ask him for pictures, autographs, and whatnot. He would have suffocated if Dionysus didn't pull him out and sneaked back to the two.

"Breath li'l bro, breath."

"What the hell man! A bunch of little girls started groping me out of nowhere!" said Hermes as he smoothed out the wrinkles of his polo shirt.

Apollo chuckled "Well, you are the "kid-next-door" among us."

"Ha ha, very funny! Alright it's your turn."

"This will be a piece of pie"

Dionysus asked "Isn't it supposed to be piece of cake?"

"What I mean is Pi! Like Pi is equal to 3.14159-"

"Alright! Alright! Just go and get some women!" said Hermes as he pushed his brother.

Apollo made a "hmph" and moved along. He spotted a cute woman and was about to head to her when someone grabbed him on the arm. He quickly turned to see an old woman grinning at him.

"Hello there young man~"

"Uhh~…Hello Ma'am…"

"I was just passing by with my friends when I saw you and just had to see you up close~"

"Ohh~…Uhh~.." He tried to remove his arm from her grip, but it only tightened on him.

"You're not busy are you? We just want some company!" She turned her head and shouted "Oh girls! I got a young lad to escort us!"

Apollo saw the group of old women coming near them and panicked. He eyed his brothers who were just laughing on the benches at the sight of him. Before he could free himself, he was surrounded by the group of old women. Minutes later he returned disheveled and having kiss marks all over his face.

Dionysus muffled his laughter while Hermes was trying hard not to laugh while saying "S-So-ha…how did-haha go?"

His eyes narrowed "Don't. Ask."

The younger boy turned to Ares. "Hey, bro, it's your turn!"

"…"

"Oh c'mon!" He pulled him up. "It's your time to shine!"

Ares grumbled and made his way to the middle. He looked around, trying to find someone that would at least catch his interest even if he wasn't in the mood. He spotted a short, strawberry-blonde girl who was standing in front of a fountain and decided to just choose her as his target. As he arrived, he noticed the human's wearing the clothes that he and the others used to wear when they were at Mt. Olympus. Curiously, he said "Hey…" He noticed her jumping a bit before slowly turning her head.

They both stared at one another, waiting for each other's next move…calculating…until Ares said "Are you one of the nymphs I'd dated?"

He was pissed off. "What?! I'm not a nymph! I'm Lelantos, a TITAN!"

"Lelantos?...Ohh~ you're the-! what the hell are you-" He was cut off when he was blasted into the air and landed on the second floor.

The scene caused an uproar among the crowd and they ran for the nearest exit they could find as smoke started to come out of nowhere. As for Apollo, Hermes and Dionysus, they hastily made their way to the fountain. When they've arrived, weapons in their hands, they cautiously awaited as the smoke cleared out to find the titan along with two more.

"Yo~"

Apollo said in a low voice "Astraeus…"

The said titan crossed his arms. "Sup Polski, I'm sorry if we've intrude your bonding, but we have a job to do."

"Does this job involve killing us?!" said Hermes as he brought out a set of knives.

"Hmm~ I wouldn't like to say "kill"…but alas, that's what we were ordered to do."

"Hah! Then we'll see if you'll be able to finish that job!"

The two groups turned their heads to Ares who looked like he was about to murder everyone. He jumped down and walked over to them and said "There's only one rule you have to remember, punk!" He brought out his dual axes and sneered. "Never mess with the war god."

The groups clashed, with Lelantos disappearing out of nowhere, leaving the two to fight off the gods.

Apollo and Dionysus were attacking Astraeus, the former shooting light arrows and the latter whipping him, but even if they simultaneously attacked, the titan kept on blocking them. Dionysus managed to hit his leg which made him fall to the floor.

Apollo took this chance to generate a light blast and directed it to Astraeus which made him hit a pillar. They saw him starting to laugh as he got up and said "I have to admit, I haven't had this much fun in like hundred years! Keep it coming!"

His rod lit up, and beside him, he created an energy golem twice the size of him. When it formed, it charged at the two and sent them flying.

At the other side, Ares and Hermes were having a hard time with the titan because they kept on hitting him but his skin was thick like a hide. The former put his axes away and charged at him, which resulted with a wrestling match but he was flung away. Hermes ran to his side and said "Bro, who is that?! He's much stronger than you!"

The older boy quickly pulled him and dodged from an incoming marble statue. They went behind a pillar and said "I don't know and I don't care! I'm going to break his neck!"

"Oh my Chaos!"

"What?"

"He's-"

"Incoming!" They managed to dodge the blow from the pillar and faced the titan.

"Ares, It's Atlas!" exclaimed Hermes.

"What?! Didn't Dad locked him up or something?!"

"Zeus locked Atlas! He pay for what he done to Atlas!" shouted the titan as he charged at Hermes who was fast enough to avoid him.

He said in a joking manner "Well, I think he is. I don't know what's wrong with his brain though."

"You mock Atlas?! ARGH!" He was about to charge again when Ares tackled him from behind and pinned him to the ground.

"I've always wanted to take you down!"

"No match…Atlas!" The titan elbowed him on the stomach and punched him on the face.

Hermes ran to them while throwing knives at Atlas. "Let him go!"

When he was getting near, an arrow flew past by him and turned to see Lelantos shooting another at him. He dodged and hid behind a bench and saw the titan on the third floor taking aim at one of them. His eyes widened and was about to warn him when it was too late, his brother was hit on his left shoulder and fell. "Apollo!"

Dionysus went to his side and saw the pool of blood starting to form. He saw Hermes coming towards them when he said in a serious voice "Hermes, I'll take care of him! Take him down!"

He nodded and because of his rage, he sent a knife to where Lelantos is, but he disappeared in split seconds before it made contact. "Where the hell are you?! Show yourself!"

"Behind you."

Hermes turned and swung his dagger but hit no one. He heard Apollo's groan and quickly went to the three. He saw Ares in front of them, and they were all bruised and battered.

Ares was in the state of collapsing, be he wouldn't let his guard down when the titans were just a few meters away.

"Just give up already. None of you are fit to fight. We'll spare your lives." said Lelantos.

Ares said angrily "Spare us?! Screw you!"

Hermes agreed. "One of us is already dying and you'll only tell us now you'll let us live?! What kind of sick joke is this?!"

Astraeus scratched the back of his head. "We're giving you a choice, you live, but, your powers will be taken away, forever, or we could stick to the original plan. Look, I know that it'll sound weird but, we don't want anyone dying today, ok? And this is our own accord, we just had to…loosen you up."

"Like I said, screw you!" Ares brought out his axes and took position.

"Beat puny human!" Atlas said as he and the other two was about to attack when a wall of fire appeared in front of them making them wince. It formed above their heads and started to engulf them. They were forced to flee with Astraeus magic and the flame disappeared with them

The boys couldn't believe on what they've seen, but their attention quickly went to their brother's groans of pain.

Dionysus tried to do whatever to ease the pain. "Hang in there! Hermes, call Dad!"

"I already am!" he said with the phone on his ear.

"I don't know what their problem is, but they're so dead when we get back to Olympus!" said Ares through gritted teeth.

"They're already on their way! We just have to move him to a safer place."

Ares carefully carried Apollo and followed the boy. Dionysus, on the other hand, saw for a split second someone on the third floor, but shrugged it off and went after them.

He didn't know that there were two who've been watching their fight.
