Chapter 20: Wrath of the Gods Pt 1
Soon enough, Riku greets with Kairi and Sora within their own ship. "Good work with those towers. We only have two left," Riku said to sit within the main living room.
"Cool, we are close to finishing our test," Sora said.
"And we can help you Riku and Master Umiko on your quest to finding the rest of the Keystones," Kairi said.
"Yeah, its going to be easier with you guys having my back," Riku said as he is laying down on the couch.
"Indeed, prepare yourselves," Umiko said as the Gummi Ship manages to reach the Olympus world as the trio appear within the middle of the fields next to a city. "Where are we?" Sora asked as Riku can see a familiar city.
"We are near the city of Athens and one of the most beautiful cities in Greece," Riku said as they walk towards the city for they notice smoke in the distance.
"Oh no. Come on let's go," Kairi said as the three Keyblade Wielders are rushing through the fields to see large numbers of Heartless storming the city for Riku to cast Firaga to hurl a large ball of flames destroying a big chuck of enemies.
"Thundara ," Kairi calls down several bolts of lightning destroying rows of Heartless with Sora throwing his Keyblade demolishing groups of baddies.
They crave their way at the front gate of the city seeing people getting killed by the monsters with a Neoshadow on top of a citizen digging its claws into his body.
Sora stabs his Keyblade into the Heartless making it disappear with a bunch of Scarlett Tangos spiting fireballs at Sora. He rolls away from the fiery blasts for Kairi uses Reflect to bounce them back taking them all down.
Kairi slashes down several Shadows and fires a single Fira to hit a Large Body with an explosion making it vanish.
Sora blocks a bunch of Lance Warriors for he charges his blade and slams into the ground creating a shockwave making them burst into smoke.
Riku stabs into a Soldier and slice a Gigas Shadow in half with him fighting multiple blasts of dark energy demolishing them.
"There are so many of them," Riku slashes more Shadows for suddenly pillars of energy vaporize hordes of Heartless for an armored woman with shield and spear in hand tearing down groups of Heartless.
"You horrible monsters, get out of my city," she flings her spear to impale through a Defender's shield into its head instantly killing it.
Soon the Heartless were cleared out of the city with Riku, Kairi and Sora being greeted by the armored woman. "Thanks for the assistance, these vile things keep coming," she said.
"If this is Athens, then you must be Athena," Riku said as the tall slender woman pulls off her helmet showing long brown hair tied in a French braid, powerful green eyes and flawless fair skin. She has a golden breastplate, a knee length white skirt and brown knee high boots.
"Yes, you must be Riku. Master Umiko's agent," Athena looks upon the two young adults. "Who are you?" Athena asked giving them a friendly smile with Kairi suddenly giving her a hug.
"My name is Kairi, I'm your biggest fan," Kairi suddenly realizes what she did and backs away with the Goddess giggling at this.
"I'm flattered Kairi and who this is?" she moves towards Sora.
"I'm Sora, nice to meet you. Me and Kairi are partners," he said.
"Yeah, I see you're a heroic couple. How romantic," Athena sensing the connections between to see them glowing in their faces. "So, why are you here?" she asked.
"Well we are here for the Keystone? Do you know where it is," Riku asked as Athena knows of this special stone.
"No but the Goddess Aphrodite knows of its whereabouts. She is in her keep far on the edge of a valley close by here. Hercules is tracking her down to aid him on a mission to stop these beasts," Athens said as she summons an orb of light to shoot towards the valley. "Follow the light and you'll find the valley along with the recent hero," Athena transforms into an owl flying away. "I'll be watching you, Keybearers," she echoed to disappear into the heavens.
"That was amazing and we get to meet Hercules," Kairi said.
"Hercules?" Sora asked.
"He's the biggest hero in Greece; he can help us find the Keystone along with the Keyhole and dark tower," Riku said as the three journey to the valley to find the Goddess of Love and Desire.
Ares watches from the building watching them from a distance, "The Keyblade wielders have returned. They could interfere with our plans." Ares said to teleport out of the area.
Kairi, Riku and Sora reaching the valley feeling a violent shaking in the area. "An earthquake?" Kairi questioned.
Out of nowhere, a large monster is flying over their heads to see it's a Minotaur wielding twin battle axes and clad in armor head to toe. Than a young man with a tall well-built frame goes in and slashes his sword against the monster's knee shedding large amounts of blood.
"That must be Hercules," Riku said.
"Guys, you should get out of here. This is dangerous," Hercules said as the Minotaur slams his weapon into Herc's face sending him into a boulder. The Minotaur roars in rage for suddenly a dark aura begins to engulf it with its skin coming purple and its eyes dim yellow.
"Guys, let's lend a hand," Kairi said for them to draw out their Keyblades with Herc taking pause at the elegant weapons.
"Gee Déjà vu, fine let's do this," Herc assists the Keybearers for them to go on the attack for the monster smashes his weapons onto the ground unleashing a powerful shockwave blowing the others away.
The Minotaur leaps for Kairi as she rolls out of the way to launch a series of fireballs hitting the beast with fierce force but it only made it flinch. Riku casts Stop to lock it into place with Hercules letting his fists impact the body of the monster and uses a powerful uppercut landing a hit on its chin. It flies backwards for it digs its blades into the ground slowing itself down.
The Minotaur fires balls of darkness from its mouth lobbing across the battlefield with Kairi using Reflect deflecting them back. The blasts damage the body of the Minotaur for it makes him bleed but still going strong.
Sora and Hercules attacking the beast with Keyblade and fists as Sora stab his sword into a wounded knee. Herc gives a single punch into it breaking the bone as he uses his sword to sever it from its thigh shouting out in pain.
Riku casts Flare and throws a large fire ball for it gets engulf in a large explosion shedding its armor and pieces of its flesh exposing bone.
"Prism Rain," Kairi fires a series of rainbow colored energy beams stabbing through the monster until one cuts through its head instantly killing it.
The monster collapses onto the ground with blood spreading around its corpse. "Oh man, Thanks for the assist guys," Hercules said.
"No problem," Sora said.
"So, my name is Hercules and what are your names?" the demigod asked.
"I'm Riku and these are my friends Sora and Kairi," Riku said as Sora shows a goofy smile with Kairi expressing a bright smile.
"Do these beasts attack you often?" Kairi asked.
"Yeah, they keep being sent after me for three months straight along with those weird black creatures the Heartless. I don't know why but I need to see Aphrodite to tell me who is behind this," Herc and the others are nearby the large building with lavish marble construction with erotic moans echoing throughout the windows.
They open the doors with them inside the main lobby. "Come in heroes, I've been expecting you," a female's voice screech through the building for the group goes into the Goddess's main chambers. They look at a comfortable bed with two women making out with a beautiful curvaceous woman.
"My servants, I have guests. Be gone," the fair skinned goddess orders her handmaidens to leave with her leering at the group.
"Well, I have four fine specimens in my humble summer home," the goddess said as the they witness the sight of this divine red headed woman only wearing a skimpy purple dress showing off her delicious curves.
"Aphrodite, we need your help. We seek answers," Riku said as the Goddess moves off to approach the boys Sora and Riku with her eyes trained like a tigress ready to pounce on a mate in heat.
"Well, well my good sir. Lean muscle around, handsome face and eyes of deep focus," Aphrodite said as Riku shakes his head.
"Not interested," Riku said as the goddess can feel the intensity in his words to back away.
"Fine, you are missing out," she said as she goes over to Sora to glide her hand along the spiky brunette's chest with a seductive smirk on her face. "So lanky, guys with thin frames always have a certain appeal," Aphrodite said as Kairi holds onto his arm not liking the looks Sora is getting from the lustful goddess.
"Sorry, I have to refuse," Sora said.
"He has been taken," Kairi is being defensive with the Goddess grins at this.
"That hasn't stopped me before and you are so cute," she said staring at Kairi's short curvy body liking how her large breasts hug the top part of her sailor dress. "Oh, I like a girl with a fair bit of meat on her bones," she goes behind and slaps her on the butt adoring how big and round they are. "Plump in all the right places, I like this a lot," she said.
"I'm not interested in women, goddess or not," Kairi said.
"You never have a girl on girl fantasy before, putting your hand on a soft pair of breasts can change your mind," Aphrodite flicks her finger on Kairi's right breast making them jiggle for a bit with Kairi backing away feeling uneasy.
"Not interested," Kairi repeated with more force in her voice as the goddess is not pleased.
"Fine, you're a tad boring anyway," Aphrodite looks upon the demigod beefcake. "Hercules, you're single and free. How about you take me on a joyride big guy," the woman glides her hands along his big chest.
"What do you need from us," Hercules asked with the Goddess kissing him on the lips.
"I'll tell you everything you need to know for exchange for the ride up my Underworld if you catch my drift," Aphrodite smiles with a sexy grin.
"Well, I have to take a hit for the team if we are going to get the information," Hercules said as Sora is perplexed.
"Taking a hit on a sex goddess," Sora said with Kairi nudging him on the arm.
"We have no choice, Hercules crave her lust so we can get some answers," Kairi said as the Demigod and Goddess spent some time together with the others waiting in the lobby.
Then an owl appears on a pedestal right next to Sora. "Where is Hercules?" she asked as Sora and Kairi jump in surprise noticing Athena's voice coming out of the bird.
"He is in the chamber taking care of 'business'," Kairi said as Athena sighs at this.
"I swear Aphrodite's vagina is so wide even the whole Mediterranean Sea can flow right through her," Athena magically appears as a human form.
"What is going on in this world?" Riku asked.
"I'll wait until Hercules and Aphrodite is done with their little rendezvous," Athena and the others can see Hercules looking pretty worn out as the Goddess giggles at Herc.
"For a first timer, you were quite enjoyable. Now you craved my lust, I'll tell you what you need to know," Aphrodite said.
"We need to know where the Keystone is." Kairi said.
"Oh, you and Hercules questions are quite linked to one another. The one who's sending the monsters after Hercules and the one holding your keystone are one in the same," Aphrodite said.
"I also heard rumors about a conspiracy against Olympus and Zeus himself. Some of the Gods are not pleased with his handling of the current situation. Hercules, our father is in deep danger," Athena said making the demigod confused.
"Our father so you mean you and I are brother and sister," Herc said.
"Yes, but also many things Zeus didn't tell you about like your origins. You were one of the many children Zeus fathered over the years with many women. Hera is pretty disappointed with him is saying it lightly," Athena said.
"This Keystone is stored within a tomb on the opposite side of the valley, beware of surprises," Aphrodite said as they head off to the tomb with the Goddess sensing a presence behind for it wraps its big arms around her hourglass shaped waist.
"Miss me, baby," a husky voice whispered in her ear making her heart quiver with delight.
"Ares, my beloved; you make me wait too long for your return," she said groping his large beefy chest.
"I see you were sleeping with that demigod reject Hercules," Ares having hints of jealously in his tone.
"Oh no, my dear you are the only one that can give such immeasurable pleasure and the only one I love," she gives him a deep kiss with the God of War caressing her ass making a purr loving every minute in his arms. "So is our plan in motion," she asked.
"Of course, we need the right moment to take down our target and we got them right where we want them," Ares said with a vicious smile on his face.
Back with Kairi and the others are at the tombs with a large stone blocking the entrance. "Allow me," Herc uses his great strength to move the object letting them inside. "We better find some answers to all this, I mean who would want to kill me?" Hercules questioned.
"Well, we are going to get to the bottom of this," Riku said as they walk through the long hallways to reach a vast room where the Keystone is lying in the middle of the spacious area.
"I'll get it," Herc moves forward with Athens sensing something very odd.
"Brother wait," Athena suddenly appears with the others not liking this setup either. Then the stone morphs into a humanoid thrusting a spike arm into his shoulder with blood exploding from the wound.
"Hercules, you are such a fool," a woman said as she whips him across the tomb with her morphing into her proper form with Athena stunned by this.
"Hera, why are you doing this?" Athena appears before them seeing the Queen of the Gods impaling her stepson.
"Doing my job, punishing my husband by getting rid of his bastard children," Hera appears as a tall pink skinned woman with a shapely hourglass frame draped in a flowing white dress with her long orange hair stretched across her lower back.
"Wow mother, he fell right into our trap and with Hercules out of the way, we'll take over Olympus," Ares teleports beside his mother as Athena is angered by the sight of Ares.
"Ares, you can't be seriously. You want to overtake Olympus but why?" Athena asked in disbelieve.
"For a Goddess of Wisdom, you seem really dense. Ares actions are my own and my husband's time as King has come to an end. He's completely incapable and his constant endeavors have pushed me for the last time," Hera said.
Riku goes over to Hercules to cast Curaga restoring him to full health. "You're not getting away with this Hera," Hercules said.
"Oh please, you're like your father a complete waste of space. My son be useful for once and end their miserable existence," Hera ordered Ares.
"Yes mother, I've been waiting for this for a long time," Ares said as the Goddess disappears with Ares standing boldly with hot red skin, tall yet massive bulk clad in full armor head to toe with a helmet enclosing his face.
"Ares, you can't possibly kill your own brother and sister," Athena wields her sword and shield with Ares summons his massive sword and fling it on his shoulders.
"Oh please, you mean nothing to me since you were both Zeus's favorites. Why did you think I let those creatures wreak your city to show how pathetic you are," Ares mocked.
"So, you're the one that set the Heartless into Athens," Riku said.
"Of course, many things my uncle has provide for us and allow me his connection to the Underworld itself," Ares calls the darkness for his body explodes with dark energy making the five stand their ground. The God of War's armor is covered in an organic black metal with a Heartless symbol on his chest.
"Let's see who is the better of Zeus's children once and for all," Ares rushing at Sora with sheer speed leashing out vicious blows and a stroke of his sword launching him through a wall appearing outside onto the grass.
"Guys, do not hold anything back," Riku dodges a swing from Ares as he fires dark fire orbs into the armored torso of the god not doing much. Ares punches Riku and smashes his blade into him sending him into a pillar but Riku regains his footing.
"Submit to me, mortals," Ares slashes the ground unleashing a large energy shockwave destroying the floor as it heads for Riku.
Kairi moves in and uses Reflect to block it but the attack destroys the energy bubble. "Firaga Burst," Kairi calls out a ball of fire for it shoots smaller fireballs into Ares pounding away at his body. Kairi throws the big fireball scoring a major hit on the god with Athena and Herc moving in with blades in hands.
Ares shrugs off the blast and blocks the two Keybearers with them exchanging slashes and blows. Athena shoots an energy blast at Ares to stun him with Herc tackles into him and follow up with a barrage of punches denting his armor until Herc mule kicks him in the chest recoiling Ares several feet.
Sora's body is in deep pain as he calls upon Ifrit. "Spirit of Fire, give me your strength," Sora's body is empowered with him aiding the others by shoving his fist into the floor unleashing a pillar of fire to engulf Ares.
Riku casts Stopga to freeze Ares in place preventing him from escaping. "Do something fast, it's not going to hold him forever," Riku said.
Athena summons several spears to surround Ares creating an energy cage as Ares breaks free from the pillar of flames and the time spell. "You think this can keep hold of me," Ares leaps up and slams his bulk into the ground scattering the energy field.
Ares slashes his blade into Athena with her blocking his strikes as Sora and Hercules moving in. Athena evades his strike as he shoves her shield into him making him flinch. "Guys now," Athena said.
Sora goes in delivering hard punches to the god for him to give him a strong uppercut lifting him 30 feet into the air. Hercules grabbing Ares from behind and piledriving him into the rocky floor. Herc jumps away with the God of War's helmet cracked open with blood dripping from his messed up face.
"Don't get cocky, I'm not done yet," Ares rushes in with both Kairi, Athena and Riku firing magic spells peppering the god damaging his body but not slowing down his assault.
Sora and Hercules swiftly move in by kicking him in the chest with them showing off a barrage of punches but Ares braces the pain and grabbing both tossing them aside.
Riku and Kairi use double Bind to hold Ares in place but he stabs his blade into the ground causing an earthquake breaking their focus and their hold of him.
Ares swings his blade releasing a gust of wind blowing everyone away with Riku countering by casting Graviga enclosing Ares in a dome of high gravity holding him down.
Sora regain his balance to land on a boulder and flings himself towards Ares. He cloaks his body in fire spinning like a drill and slams into Ares grinding against his torso while slowly pushing him backward with Ares trying to hold his ground.
Sora backs away as he dodges a strike from Ares to build up energy into his armored fist. Ares gets a hit on Sora with him using his supernatural strength to hold back Ares' sword with his arms and legs burning with strain.
"This guy's power is fucking crazy," Sora shoves the sword away and rushes in landing an explosive punch sending the god flying through a few pillars until crashing into a wall. "Leviathan," Sora switches grabbing his Keywand casting a powerful Reflega defending against Ares's counterattack.
"This isn't over yet," Ares digs his blade into the ground casting pillars of energy to rocket across the vast space with everyone trying to dodge them. Kairi uses Reflect to bounce them back to Ares with him easily knocking them away with his sword.
Sora casts multiple Balloonga as he shoots several big water orbs for them to burst on contact causing great pain for the God of War. Athena and Hercules go on the offensive evading and blocking Ares's slashes and blows.
Athena tosses her shield and it cuts into Ares's left eye with Ares roaring in pain with Hercules slashing the left leg with his sword. Ares explodes with energy to push the two away to gain his breath.
Ares is getting badly damaged by these strings of spells and attacks with Kairi and Riku prepare their powerful spells with Sora using Reflects to block Ares's attacks.
"Ice Barrage," Sora casts several spears of ice bursting out of the ground impaling Ares in place with blood escaping his many wounds.
Athena and Herc combine their attacks pounding away at Ares's chest plate until it has several big cracks. Athena fires a potent blast of energy and damages the armor with Hercules following up with a devastating kick breaking the chest piece leaving it exposed.
"Prepare to meet your fate." Kairi casts Holy while Riku casts Ultima for them to fire towards Ares. Both spells merge into one striking into Ares unleashing a massive explosion overwhelming the god in severe pain.
"Sora, let's finish this," Herc grabs onto Sora spinning him around and then releasing him as he switches back to Ifrit. He transforms into a fiery drill cutting down the middle piercing through Ares chest leaving a large bloody hole behind.
"No, this is impossible," Ares knells on his knees with energy crackling from his dying body. "Hercules and Athena in the end, your pathetic siding with these mortals; we Gods are made to rule these fools," Ares said.
"You're wrong, using power to protect others isn't weakness but instead it's what makes us strong," Hercules said as Athena and others agreed.
"Your greed lends you to your death just like Hera and Hades," Athena uses her spear to stab into its head ending his life for his body bursts into energy vanishing from existence.
"Damn, Aphrodite tricked us into this trap," Kairi said feeling ashamed for not seeing this coming.
"We should head back to Athens and rest up," Hercules said as Athens turns back into an owl and perch on Kairi's shoulder.
"Yes, that battle was most tiring and we need to rethink our plan to stop Hera and get your Keystone," Athena said as they head back to the city.
Hera looks on from her hideout looking very enraged. "My good for nothing son can't deal with three mortals and two bastard kids that spawned out of Zeus's loins," Hera said with three other gods with her.
"Come on guys, those three are not just any mortals. They have a weapon capable of ruining our plans and they have unique powers that make them a threat," Hades appears behind Hera and the three gods.
"Well that changes things," Aphrodite appears before them. "I help lead them to a trap but it's not my fault you guys screwed up," she said.
"Aw Aphrodite got a little sand in your vagina when your boyfriend got whacked," Hades joked as the goddess is not pleased with this.
"Screw you Hades, he was like my one true love and now Athena and her entourage killed him. They'll pay for that," she said as another god laughs at this. "What's so funny Helios?" she snapped.
"Well if true love means best orgasms, I guess you score big time," Helios pokes fun of Aphrodite with a vein pulsing on her forehead.
"Enough, we have work to do and Hades you give us the Heartless from your source," Hera said.
"Funny you're taking orders from a mortal Hades, getting soft," Helios asked.
"She has what I need so I go along with it. Anyway, I trust you to take care of things here," Hades said with the lord of the dead disappearing in a dark portal with their plans coming together.
