Chapter 37: Then There Were Four!

[Askr— Unknown Location]

Clarisse tailgates behind Legion, planning to tackle him. She instead stops and calls him again to spare her remaining energy. "You. Wait up!"

Legions halts his escape and turns around to face Clarisse.

"Yesss. What do you have to say for yourselllffss?"

"Rrgh. What are you talking about? Why are you so annoying?"

"Watch it please. We grow offended."

"Ah, whatever. You are working with me. Got it? I'm in charge!"

"Deal. Wouldn't you agree brother? Yessss I do."

"Quit talking to yourself. Matter of fact, quit dragging your axe along the ground and instead start ripping the party animals up to shreds!"

"That was the plan."

Clarisse gives off a weak smile. "Hey, you finally spoke normally. I must say, I'm proud of you!"

Athena comes from out of the bushes. "You two..."

"Athena?" Clarisse uttered.

Athena nods. "You...and you.."

Athena takes turns pointing her blade at the two to study them.

"Mhm. I see I must join you. In whatever you have going on.."

Clarisse smirks mischievously. "Nothing complex. Just erase Marth and his friends from existance as they did the General."

Athena blinks. "Hello! We are not doing someone else's dirty work."

Legion snorts as he falls asleep.

"Alright?" Athena said.

Clarisse shakes her head. "I meant, that is MY plan. Feel free to join!"

"That is, why I approached you. Together, we will build our own army!"

Legion was still asleep. Athena bangs her sword on Legion's armor.

"Wake up. I was going to punch you in the stomach, but ah..I'd rather not," Athena revealed to him.

"Nnnnnngh...go on," Legion instsed to Clarisse.

"I like your plan, I'm afraid to say," Clarisse mumbled to Athena.

Athena grins. "Good. Together, it will be the three of us and then our army will expand. Listen, I realize you two would rather fight alone and spend time alone, but joined as one, we have a chance against Marth, against the General, and against ANYONE who is in our way!"

Clarisse shakes Legion and Athena's hands. "Okay Athena. Consider us in!"

"It won't be the three of us. My brothers are in this as well," Legion said, cloning himself.

Athena chuckles at the brothers. "Ahah. I fail to believe you are human!"

Camus kindly approaches the three. "I will join too..."

Clarisse holds her hand out. "Help yourself!"

Athena stares at Camus in shock. "Him?!"

Camus rolls his eyes. "Yeah. Me! I will crush Marth and his lifeless group!"

"If I have anything to say about this, they are the lively ones. Lifeless would be the four of us," Legion commented.

Clarisse grits her teeth. "Who cares? All I care about is stopping this little party of theirs. They should be celebrating nothing! At all!"

Camus places his hand on his forehead. "You sound like a brat, but, this has to be done. Let's go plan this out carefully."

The four of them started moving on foot, bar Camus.
