1 Month later, SWC Headquarters halls.
"Can't believe it's been a year already, but hey, one year closer to beating this game, right?" Artemis said.
"Yeah, though, we still have four years left now don't we?" Leafa said.
They walked through the halls and eventually, they found one room and they heard Oblivion and Nero inside, Artemis opened the door to see Nero in his kangaroo costume and he was dancing stupidly in front of Oblivion's son, who aged one regular year now, and until Artemis opened the door, Nero stopped.
"Thank god you did that, Kiyo was about to start crying." Oblivion said.
"Nero go get changed from that ridiculous costume please, and don't dress in that around him." Artemis said.
Nero muttered something and left, Artemis went to sit down by Oblivion, "Things are weird without Wolf around, don't you think?" Artemis asked.
"Can't you bring him back?" Oblivion asked.
"I mean I could, I tried already before, he told me not to revive him, for some reason." Artemis said.
Lisbeth then walked in and said, "Is he fussy anymore?"
"He would have been if Artemis hadn't come in here to tell Nero to go change into his regular clothing whenever he's around Kiyo. You should take him for a bit, he's hungry anyways, I think." Oblivion said, it was then, Kiyo started crying. "Um, yup, he's hungry." Oblivion got up and handed Kiyo to Lisbeth and Artemis and Oblivion walked out, and they stopped when Artemis cast a hold spell on Oblivion by the door. "Um, what do you have me pinned here for?" Oblivion asked.
"There's a dungeon we need to raid, one that some DH members taken over and is holding very valuable info for their guild." Artemis said, and released Oblivion.
"So, should we go today or, when?" Oblivion asked.
"Right now, actually." Artemis said with finality. "Okay, first, tell Liz you're going, I don't want her to freak out on you or anything like that, I will be in the briefing room."
"Alright, will do." Oblivion said. The two walked back into the room. "Hey, Artemis says we're going on a dungeon raid pretty quickly, so, bye." Oblivion said, Lisbeth waved bye to Oblivion, until Leafa got up.
"You're not going without me, are you?" Leafa asked.
"Well, I mean, if you want to, but, it's gonna be dangerous as Oblivion is only coming for back up." Artemis said.
"What should we be expecting in this dungeon?" Leafa asked.
"Higher up DH members, in fact, they have info guarded heavily in there that we need to retrieve, or else we're fucked." Artemis said.
"I'm coming, and you're not stopping me." Leafa said.
"Are you really sure? I mean, I could die, but, I don't want you to die either, in fact, I might live through the dungeon and leave without you, I don't want that." Artemis said.
"You can bring me back, can't you?" Leafa asked, quietly.
"I tried bringing Wolf back, he didn't want to come back, he's in his own universe now." Artemis said.
"He didn't want to, I would want to come back, because who knows if you can ever come back now? You're a god now, if you die, then what?" Leafa asked.
"You're right, what if I do die? That thought worries me." Artemis said.
"You need the protection, I mean we could die, but, at least you can bring us back, but hey, if you die, then what? We don't know what will happen." Oblivion said.
"All right, fine, Leafa, you come with, but be careful, alright?" Artemis said.
"Don't worry about it, I'll be fine, now, let's get going, we're wasting our time." Leafa said.
2 hours later
They were at the dungeon entrance, and Artemis turned to Leafa, "Be careful, especially of me, because in such a large group of enemies, I tend to go ham, and it isn't pretty, I don't want to accidentally kill you, so, please, for the love of god, don't be near me when you see me going ham, on those mother fuckers."
"I want to know what going ham is, especially for you." Leafa replied.
"You'll see soon enough." And with that, he turned and swat kicked the door open, "Hey fellas!" Artemis called to the entire base.
"Why the fuck did you do that?" Leafa asked furiously.
"I want it to be quick and fun, so getting them all here, well, it makes it both." Artemis replied, smiling back at Leafa.
"Yeah, quick for them!" Leafa was scared for her life, as well as Artemis's.
"That's what you think." Artemis replied cheekily.
Soon they were surrounded, and Artemis slowly turned to get a glimpse of everyone they were fighting, and he put an index finger to his temple, and called for backup, even though he believed he didn't need it, he just felt guilty for stealing all the fun.
It was a couple minutes, before they heard conflict coming from the entrance where Oblivion and Nero's groups were, they had arrived.
"Looks like it's time,"Artemis said as the enemy converged on them. He quickly drew his blades and rushed forth, killing the first man with a simple swipe to the neck with Hellfire, and he spun with the strike, batting away a strike with Shadow, and ending the spin with a stab from Hellfire, the blade embedding itself in one unlucky victim, the man crying out in pain, as he died.
Leafa wasn't having the best time of her life, she was quickly surrounded, but she then sees Oblivion, and she cuts a path towards him, only to be grasped by her hair, and as she screamed, Oblivion looked over and activated a new special ability that created a blast of wind and lightning called Hurricane Storm, It killed everything in range, just like Artemis's signature Fire Storm, and he charged through the wreckage his ability created, towards Leafa, and watched as the man groped her, but Artemis also saw this, and this infuriated him beyond what he'd ever felt before, and he zipped in and chopped off the arm the man was holding her with, as Oblivion caught Leafa, and they watched as Artemis grabbed the man's war axe and began brutally smashing his face with it.
As he was doing this, another group surrounded them, "How many of these fuckers are there?" Oblivion asked as he went back to back with Leafa.
"About a thousand, no biggie." Artemis replied as he got up and stretched his back, "Now fellas, it's ok to play with me, but when you play with my girlfriend, well, you got what's coming to you." A huge blazing fire erupted around Artemis, surrounding him in brilliant flames, and he looked like a dark shadow, but one terrifying feature stood out around his black form, wings, draconic wings, people would think he were a demon, but he only created them temporarily, as he is a god of creation, he has the power to create nearly everything.
"Woah! He's a demon, get away!" One unfortunate soul cried, attracting Artemis's attention, and he blazed forward, and incinerated the man with a touch, for while the wings weren't real, though they could be used, the flames, were all too real, and any who drew near could feel the shear heat from the flames. Artemis then conjured a huge ball of flame and tossed into the crowd, exploding with such force, it knocked Nero, who was furthest away, to his knees.
A demonic voice was emitted from the flames, "DIE!" and he charged into the middle of a large group, and immediately created a Fire Storm, incinerating around 200 of the 300 there were left, and as the flames dissipated, Artemis, still in his fire cocoon, approached the remaining few of the Death's Hand guild, and simply said, "Boo," in the demonic voice he impersonated.
The Death's Hand fled their stations and left the dungeon far behind, leaving Artemis to leave his cocoon of flames, and begin laughing.
"So that's what you meant about going ham." Leafa said, still in shock.
"Well, yeah, I also wanted to go demon mode for a bit, but, as a god, I can't actually become a devil, so I became an artificial demon." Artemis replied.
"Well, looks like you had fun." Oblivion said, laughing.
"Well, I was pissed, then I realized it was an opportune moment to go full demon mode, and I was happy again." Artemis said happily.
"Well, thanks, nice to know I mean so much." Leafa said sarcastically.
"You do, you mean a lot to me, did you not see my reaction when the jackass groped you?" Artemis replied.
"Well, after what you just said, I felt like a burden, I knew I wasn't as good as you guys, you have been doing this longer than me, especially since I took the long break for like 8 months, so you can bet I lost a bit of skill." Leafa said, a little down.
"Aw… Don't worry, I'll help you train for the next one." Artemis said.
"Well, now that that's over, we should check out this quote, 'cette information'." Oblivion said, as he opened a nearby chest, he discovered the documents that held the intel, and Artemis read it aloud.
"We are to attack KOTFM on the 8th of June, 7 days after the anniversary of this wonderful game, if this base is to be attacked, send a messenger to base and we will attack at once, we shall be there in the hour of the attack." Artemis looked horrified, but then read on, "As soon as the attack on the KOTFM is completed, we shall turn to SWC, and obliterate them, I, PoH, shall lead this attack myself, guided by the other leaders, it will be a full on war."
"Oh, shit, we fucked up, didn't we?" Oblivion said, as he chased Artemis through a warp gate to base.
Artemis called to Nero and Oblivion, "Get all the guards ready to put this place on lockdown, Oblivion I want 50 of our army to go to KOTFM with us, this is our highest priority." He took Leafa by the hand and they walked up to the wall, Artemis messaged Roxas, he didn't get an answer.
"Oh shit, it must be happening right now." Artemis said.
"Well, Oblivion's got all the guy's up at the gate with their weapons ready, and Nero's got the guards ready, we should be heading out now." Leafa said.
"Listen, I don't want you to go, I feel you'll be much more safer while this place is under lockdown, and I know PoH is coming, so if we deal with KOTFM's attackers first, we'll come back and protect everyone." Artemis said.
"O-okay, be careful though, I sure as heck don't want you dying either, and you know that." Leafa said.
"I will, don't you fucking worry about it, if I have to, I'll cause a big ass explosion while everyone is away." Artemis said.
He left and opened a portal to Kazuto and Asuna's house, upon entering Artemis said, "You mind helping us out? DH are about to attack mine and Roxas's empires and we need as much help as we can get, Asuna, your mother can watch the baby, and Yui."
"Oh crap you can't be serious, already?" Kazuto asked.
"Artemis, hurry up in there, we need to go soon." Oblivion said, though the portal.
"Yui can watch the baby, my mother won't get here in time." Asuna said.
Artemis nodded and the three went through the portal, and they walked to Oblivion and Artemis gestured Oblivion that they were ready, and Oblivion nodded back and they opened the gate and they ran to the KOTFM empire as fast as they could with their weapons drawn, and as soon as the empire came into view, everyone gasped as they saw fire being launched from the empire, and into the empire, and if the SWC knew PoH, then DH were probably killing as many of Roxas's people as possible. The SWC ran into the empire but stopped, as they saw the citizens attempting to fight off the invaders as they escaped, and watched in pure horror, as they saw Roxas, fighting but as he turned to see reinforcements, he was stabbed through the back.
"No!" Artemis screamed, as he rushed towards the capital.
