Devil May Cry Olympus Titans Curse
ESKK: Well here we go the Third Chapter let's get this started folks.
(Start the Hunters of Artemis Camp)
Evan, Calisto, Bianca, and Zoe were gathered in Artemis tent after they had reported the events pertaining to the hunt. "So Gomorrah went out of control?" Artemis said as Calisto nodded to this.
"Yeah and I got sucked into Limbo again." Evan said as he had taken a random seat to relax a bit. "There was a demon surge but now it's handled." Evan said but Artemis was more focused on the berserk summon.
"Calisto how did you lose control of Gomorrah?" Artemis asked knowing full well Calisto isn't the sort to let something like that happen. And worse of all if it had gotten any worse no doubt the Olympian would have gotten involved. Her father would in turn start demanding that they be put down to prevent such disasters from occurring in worse forms.
"I don't know ok." Calisto confessed as she then got to the nitty gritty of it. "But for a while now the Trinity it feels off." Calisto said as she looked to her mother.
"Off?" Artemis asked as everyone noticed.
"I wouldn't say off." Bianca said as she jumped in on this. "It feels like something has tipped the balance of scales torts the light as opposed to the dark." Bianca said as she looked to the group.
"Yeah ever since the last Lumen Sage died Darkness has been on the upper scale but not enough to be concerned over with so few Witches left in the world." Calisto said as Artemis saw where Calisto was going with this.
"So something has occurred to allow the Light to make a comeback to put the scales back in order." Artemis said as Calisto nodded in response. "Do you have any idea what it could be?" Artemis asked as she looked to the two Witches.
"I'm not sure Lady Astarte isn't saying anything." Calisto said as her Infernal contract was oddly silent about this.
"Same with Madama Khapri." Bianca added and thus Evan cleared his throat to this.
"I… may have a theory." Evan said as he then gestured to his right eye to make his theory known. "It's crazy but it's the only thing I can think of that makes sense." Evan said as he then got up and stretched a bit.
"You're not suggesting that?" Zoe began as she was aware of both the Sages and the Witches of old.
"Yeah… Bayonetta and Jeanne may have missed one." Evan said to which if that was the case… then it would mean that the balance of the Trinity is resetting around this new Lumen Sage if Evan's theory was on point. More than that the Right Eye of the Overseer the Right Eye of Light would in turn make its way to the hands of the last of the Lumen Sages where it rightfully belongs.
"If there is one last Lumen Sage out there then we would need to locate and decide if he is a threat or not." Artemis said knowing full well the Sages aren't one to underestimate.
"Mom as much as I hate to admit it being a Lumen Sage especially the last of his kind means he's needed to keep the delicate balance of the Trinity." Calisto said as she looked to Artemis. "I don't think destroying him if he is a threat will do anyone good." Calisto said and thus Artemis knew that Calisto had a point on the matter. "Though if he is a threat letting him roam about isn't a good idea either." Calisto added and thus Evan had to voice his thoughts.
"Meh we'll burn that bridge when we get there." Evan said and thus Artemis knew it was time to change the subject.
"Of course… anyway Evan Calisto if you two are up for it I've received a message from Apollo with a reasonable pay for you both." Artemis said as this got the twins attention. "Over in Westover Hall Maine there's a Demigod he would like for you both to retrieve he said that it's important but he won't go into detail on it beyond the fact the Demigod is his." Artemis said as she knew her brother well and wasn't one for secrets.
"Well in that case I'm in." Evan said showing he wanted some action.
"I'm still a bit shaken up from… well you know. But I can handle it." Calisto added as this caused Artemis to nod in response. "Very well prepare what you two will need and head out as soon as possible, the rest of the Hunt will join in when we have the chance." Artemis said as they too had a monster to hunt down in that general area.
"Got it." Evan said as he was ready to ship out and kick some ass.
As they took their leave Artemis worried for them just as any mother would. But something was at work here and she feared the Titans aren't the only powers on the move in the world. On the Council she had been the most vocal about preparing for a second Titan War and with the upcoming meeting she had to make her case known to them. Furthermore with both Inferno and Paradiso making a move of their own it was clear that powerful forces were afoot. She only hoped her children and her hunt are up to the task to face the storm coming their way.
(Later Westover Hall, Bar Harbor Maine)
In the halls of this Military Academy a rescue operation was taking place. Leading it was Percy Jackson as accompanying him were four other Demigods and a Styr. These five were Thalia Grace Daughter of Zeus, Annabeth Chase daughter of Athena, Patty Lowell daughter of Hephaestus, and Kathrine Daughter of Aphrodite. Their reason for coming all the way here was due to the reveal of a Demigod within this location and the request to retrieve him. The odd thing was that it was Apollo who made this request and since it was an Olympian making it they all complied.
That was when things got interesting because it didn't take long for Grover and Kat's demonic familiars to detect the monsters roaming about. It only got worse when they took note to Angels guarding the location as well opting them to keep out of sight.
Of course the task seemed easy enough on paper but something strange was going on. This task it seemed a tad bit easy too easy for any of their likings. They were currently hiding behind some cover avoiding another patrol who was no doubt looking for any escape attempts or intruders roaming these stone halls.
"We need a plan." Patty said as Kat agreed here.
"Annabeth what are you thinking?" Kat asked as she knew the daughter of Athena had to have some plan in the works in her head.
"We need a diversion." Annabeth said as she then looked to the son of Poseidon. "We'll draw their attention while you go for the Demigod." Annabeth said as Percy nodded to Annabeth's plan of attack.
"Got it." Percy said and thus he went on to locate the Demigod held here. Unknown to any of them they were all walking head first into a trap set up for all of them.
(Meanwhile outside in the snow)
Evan and Calisto had arrived outside of the Academy as they saw it. "Hello Castlevania." Evan said as he looked to the Castle like school. "Hey sis think we can see the Count while in there?" Evan asked as he looked to his twin sister.
"Depends is it Mathias or Gabriel Belmont?" Calisto asked as Evan smirked to his twin sister's smart aleck response.
"Well whatever we better get a move on no telling what's going on in that Grade B Horror Move location." Evan said as he in turn entered the massive fortress.
"Right behind you." Calisto said as she went after her twin. But as they approached the fortress Calisto couldn't help but feel off about it somehow.
"Yeah I can sense it, this place is crawling with Demons and Angels." Evan said to which Calisto agreed with her twin brother.
"We're walking into a trap." Calisto said as she knew a trap when she saw one forming.
"Yeah I can see that. Any ideas?" Evan asked as he looked to his sister while the got closer to the school.
"We spring it." Calisto said as Evan then smirked to his twin sister while they got to the front door of the school.
"This is going to be one hell of a party!" Evan called out as he then kicked the door open.
(Meanwhile back over with Percy)
Percy was walking down the hall being quiet while his friends had gone to cause a diversion for the Hero. As Percy walked he went looking through each door to find the Demigod hidden here. Eventually he came across a lone room and saw someone sitting in the shadows of the room on a lone chair. The shadow obscured the person save for his what looked to be white robes.
'This must be him.' Percy thought as this guy was the only person here who fit the description given to them by Apollo and Chiron.
"Hey thank goodness you're ok." Percy said in a hushed tone while getting this persons attention. "My name's is Percy I'm here to take you somewhere safe." Percy said offering his hand and thus the young man gave Percy a look from the shadows.
"Percy… as in Percy Jackson Son of Poseidon." The young man said making Percy go wide eyed at how this guy knew this already… unless. But before Percy could react he had to dodge a Gold Glaive coming his way. Percy looked and saw the Demigod standing there with a Glaive in his hand and wearing a gold mask with a hood over his head. As he glared at Percy it became clear that despite being a demigod he was not in any way their friend. "Then you and all of your heretical fellows shall fall by my blade." The young man said as he pointed his Glaive at the Demigod.
"So on my honor as a Lumen Sage the light shall prevail once more." The now identified Lumen Sage spoke as he glared upon Percy.
"A… Lumen Sage?" Percy asked as he remembered Calisto talking about them.
"Surprised Mr. Jackson?" Came a new voice and thus Percy looked around and saw Dr. Stone standing there. "Even I was surprised when I learned there was one more Lumen Sage left in the world and now with him the fall of Olympus is assured." Dr. Thorn said as he looked to Percy.
"Now I suggest you surrender less my Lumen friend here cleaves you in two." Dr. Thorn said as it was clear Percy was in trouble.
(Later outside the Military School)
Percy was being guided outside by Dr. Thorn and the Masked Lumen as the ladder of the two held his Glaive at Percy to keep him from trying any tricks. As this happened Percy realized that they were too late to get to the Demigod and that now he's fighting for Kronos and his forces.
"You know I was hoping you and those Hades children would be here but it seems I must make do with you." Thorn said as he began to contact someone. "I am on the way with the package." Thorn said into his communication device before hanging up. Once he was done he then turned his attention over to the masked Lumen Sage. "The General would most like to meet you Sir Tyr." Thorn said while looking to the Lumen Sage named Tyr.
'Tyr… like the Norse God of War?' Percy wondered as he knew Calisto researched Norse for one reason or another, hard to tell.
"As for you Mr. Jackson." Thorn said as Tyr paid attention to this. "You are all to be given the opportunity to join the Titans Army." Thorn said choosing his words carefully. "To be redeemed in the grace of the Lumens Light." Thorn added knowing he needed to keep the Charade going around the Sage. "If not well… they say no fate is worse than an eternity deep in Inferno." Thorn said no doubt having researched both the Sages and the Witches deeply for this.
"Oh do tell." Came a familiar cocky voice from nearby. Stone, Percy, and Tyr looked and saw none other than Evan sitting upon a snow covered boulder with his ever present smirk on his face. "I mean I highly doubt anything Inferno can throw is a match for yours truly." Evan said showing that he was back in action.
"Evan!" Percy called out happy to see Evan was back. And best part if Evan was here then the cavalry shouldn't be too far behind him.
"The Son of Artemis." Dr. Thorn growled as he saw Evan was here at last. "What are you doing so far from your pack?" Thorn asked as he glared at Evan knowing of this infamous Tri-Breeds reputation among the monsters.
"Hunting thanks for asking." Evan said not at all bothered by his foe as he jumped down and looked ready for battle. "How about you?" Evan asked as he took out Jekyll and spun it in his hand with ease.
"Right now… dealing with you!" Thorn called out and fired thorns from his person. Seeing this Evan used Jekyll and fired at the thorns hitting them all with trained ease.
"Sorry what was that? I was shooting some skeets." Evan taunted as he held his gun with a relaxed aura. Thorn was of course now on edge as he glared at the Tri-Breed seeing some of the rumors about him may not have been an exagaration of the fearful masses. "By the way word of advice from a hunter to a soldier always watch your six." Evan said and thus Percy was pushed down and thus Tyr saw this.
Acting fast he swung his Glaive at the force as Annabeth became visible once more.
Seeing the attack coming and knowing full well she could not stop it she knew she had to move fast. In response Corvus appeared and started attacking. "Hah take that you sorry Lumen Sage Rip off!" Corvus called out and thus laughed maniacally as per norm.
"For Zeus!" Thalia Grace was heard as she charged into battle with Kat, Grover, Patty, Fenrir, and Furfur at her side.
"Jeez the gang's all here!" Evan called out as he smirked at his foe.
"I shall deal with these heretics, Thorn." Tyr said as she glared at those who worshiped these false Gods.
"Not on your life!" Patty called out and fired off her mini-gun. Acting fast Tyr used his glaive to deflect them all with ease making Patty go wide eyed. Tyr then charged at Patty and avoided her attacks seemingly teleporting pass them while he charged her. The Alchemist was then met face to mask with Tyr before he sliced at her with his Glaive. Patty dodged and avoided it as best she could and thus managed to slam her rocket launching end against the shaft of his Glaive. Seeing this Tyr split his Glaive into two separate weapons just in time as Patty fired off the rocket at Tyr. Tyr used the explosion to the ground to force Patty to retreat from it via being thrown back from the blast. Tyr then put his weapon back together and with a few test spins was ready for combat again.
Next came Kat as she fought against Tyr in combination with her familiars Corvus, Furfur, and Fenrir. But it was clear Tyr knew how to fight as he managed to defeat all three Demons with well-placed blazing daggers that looked like feathers. The Holy energy of the attack caused the demons to retract their attack causing Kat to go wide eyed to this. But before Kat could attack Tyr grabbed her by her neck and tossed her aside no doubt going easy on her to avoid needless deaths.
Grover and Thalia both saw what Tyr did and thus decided to gang up on him and attacked. The daughter of Zeus roared in fury and with her spear attacked Tyr. Seeing this Tyr spun his Glaive about and used it to force both Grover and Thalia to step back. Thalia then stabbed at Tyr with her spear only for him to vanish. Just then Thalia went wide eyed as she felt a great number of attacks hit her one after the other before she was sent flying back from the force that was used. Grover was no better off as Tyr had no doubt taken the time to strike at him also.
"What?! That's just like Calisto's Witch Time?!" Grover cried out from the ground as nearby Tyr had reappeared showing he was the one who performed the attack.
"Guys!" Percy cried out as he then took out Riptide and went after Tyr. "Leave them alone!" Percy cried out and swung Riptide at the Lumen Sage. Tyr seeing this spun his Glaive and before he blocked the attack before he opted to make quick work of Percy. Percy hardly stood a chance from this young man who was clearly a veteran warrior in battle. Before Percy could get back up Tyr's Glaive was pointed directly at him ready to end Percy's life if needed.
It seems he was going to do that as Tyr then swung his Glaive down upon Percy to end him. "Percy!" Annabeth cried out and thus she saw how Evan was oddly calm about this.
Just then from out of nowhere Calisto flew in and kicked at Tyr's glaive blocking the attack. The resulting blast from Calisto's gun going off sent Tyr flying back some. When Calisto landed, she then fired off her guns off at Tyr who then flash stepped and avoided the bullets.
"An Umbra Witch." Tyr said sounding both surprised and annoyed by this. "I should have suspected some of your kind survived." Tyr said as he and Calisto began to circle around each other sizing each other up like predator animals. "Though I'm hardly surprised that you are aiding these False Gods." Tyr said as he glared at Calisto in what is clear to be contempt.
"Well they have their short comings but they pay well with added benefits." Calisto taunted as she looked upon Tyr. "Though I had thought all the Lumen Sages had died out. I suppose if you truly are a Sage that makes you an endangered species." Calisto said as she looked upon the Sage before her.
"You will come to regret that your Clan didn't make sure they finish what they had started." Tyr said as the two glared at each other clearly ready to do battle against each other. In fact if one looked on the look upon Calisto's face… she was excited for it. Annabeth, Percy, Patty, and Grover were in turn reminded of the same look Evan had when he and Evelyn had their bouts two summers back.
In turn Tyr threw his Glaive like a javelin and in response Calisto avoided the weapon with ease. But during this Tyr had appeared where his Glaive was thrown behind Calisto for a surprise attack. Acting fast Calisto used her guns for melee combat as glaive met gun in a struggle of skill and power. Calisto then fired her guns to go with her attacks as she even did the same with her kicks a couple times. Tyr in response then stabbed his glaive at Calisto who then leaned back to avoid it. Calisto then used the momentum and after wrapping her legs around the Glaive before she spun around the shaft of the weapon. It almost looked like she was on a stripper pole but using this position she proceeded to fire the guns on her heels at Tyr.
Just then time slowed and then came to a halt around them all and in response Tyr grabbed the bullets before dropping them to the ground. When time resumed Calisto saw this and jumped off Tyr's Glaive and looked to him with a mixture of being impressed and shocked.
"You… you're really a Lumen Sage." Calisto said shocked to see that this masked figure was in fact the genuine article. The young man then glared at Calisto clearly ready to do battle with the Umbra Witch once more.
*Inserts Bayonetta 2 OST: The Lumen Sage
The battle began between the two as Calisto began by firing off her guns at the Lumen Sage. Tyr responded by deflecting the bullets with his Glaive via spinning it. It was actually impressive he manage to keep up with the gun fire from Calisto. Tyr then counter attacked and charged at Calisto intent on skewering her with his Glaive. Calisto dodged at the last possible second with a backflip and in turn activated her Witch Time. Of course knowing of this Tyr looked around for Calisto and thus with a snap of his fingers he joined Calisto in Witch Time and blocked her assault.
Calisto was wide eyed in shock when her attacks were blocked that it left the Tri-Breed Umbra Witch distracted. Taking advantage of this Tyr grabbed Calisto and spun her around by her leg that was used in Calisto attempt in kicking him during, Witch Time. He then threw Calisto causing her to go flying from this but the Umbra Witch acted fast. As Witch Time ended she spun mid-air and landed safely on the ground. The two foes glared at each other as Calisto saw Evan moving the others over to safety while she handled the last Lumen Sage, Tyr.
The Sage then sent fire balls at Calisto with a vocal invocation for it. Calisto responded by dodging them all opting to avoid using Witch Time in this fight if she can possibly help it. But Tyr was far from done as Calisto returned fire and opted the Sage to dodge and flip to avoid the bullets from the Tri-Breed. One more flip from Tyr and his hand was seen to be holding feathers for some odd reason. The reason soon became known as he then fired them off at Calisto imbuing his power into them. Acting fast Calisto dodge and avoided them knowing how those things worked. Once Calisto avoided the attacked she glared at the Lumen Sage who in turn glared back at the young Tri-Breed Umbra Witch.
The two then charged as the Sage had a fist raised and brought it down upon Calisto. In response Calisto also had a punch of her own ready for Tyr. The two attacks summoned off their respected weave based attacks and in turn Lady Astarte's fist clashed with one of the Dragon heads of the Audito Fortitudo. The clash caused a shock wave that sent everyone and everything flying back. Calisto and Tyr were included but they managed to hold their ground before glaring back at each other intend on eliminating their newly acquired foe. They continued their battle as it was clear they were fully intent on besting the other by any means necessary.
As the battle continued the two exchanged strikes as sparks were made from the brief friction of each clash of their weapons. They continued to do battle as Calisto performed a spin kick with gun fire while Tyr jumped back and deflected the Witches attacks. Once he was away he split his weapon in two and threw them at Calisto. Calisto in response jumped up and spun between the spinning blades to avoid being shredded. When Calisto landed she charged at the Sage and proceeded for an uppercut Wicked Weave. The Sage barely managed to block it as he was sent flying from the attack.
But as he went airborne Calisto charged at him intent on slicing him with her twin swords. Alas the Glaive parts returned to Tyr who then blocked Calisto's attack with them. He pushed her back and united them back into one before charging at her. The two then send an attack at each other from a distance and the two dodged it activating their time magic. In the realm of the stop time the two continued their battle intent on besting each other.
Time resumed and they continued their battle while Calisto began to grin from this. The Demon inside her was enjoying this fight. She had basically met her own equivalent to Evan and Evelyn or Dante and Vergil.
The Demi-Gods had moved to cover as Evan kept them safe from the battle. They saw how Calisto and Tyr were seemingly teleporting during the battle. "This fight can go either way!" Annabeth called out as she saw this.
"When you said the twins were tough you weren't kidding." Thalia added as she saw this.
"Something has to give between them." Evan said to which they were all in agreement on this battle. "But what?" Evan wondered fearing for his sister.
Back to the battle the two combatants continued their epic duel clearly intent on besting the other by any means available to them both. The jumped back and took a battle stance glaring at each other no doubt they were pushing each other to their limits at the moment. The two then went at it once more as they passed by each other striking at the other intent on besting their clan's respected rivals. Witch vs Sage it went on as it had always between Dark and the Light. Their duel forcing them to think outside the box and utilize their strengths beyond what they normally use in combat. They continued to do battle as they decided to use their Weave based attacks at each other.
With a chant of his magic Tyr summoned of Temperantia's fists in their gun forms and fired them off at the Umbra Witch. Calisto going wide eyed to this quickly ran for it with a yelp to avoid the gun fire. The rockets flew and thus Calisto had to use Witch Time to avoid them. It worked as she then used the opportunity to redirect the missiles to hit Tyr instead of her. When Witch Time ended the Rockets flew at Tyr and thus he was forced to slice through them with his Holy Glaive. They went off behind him in powerful explosions causing the back wind to make his robes billow out.
*End OST
*Inset Bayonetta 2 OST: Lumen Sage and Fortitudo
Realizing they had to put an end to this soon Tyr opted to change gears for this bout. The Lumen Sage charged at Calisto with a flying kick who then blocked his kick. Using this Tyr launched himself to the sky and had three feathers in his hand. "ZIRACAH!" Ty invoked and threw the feathers into the sky where an angelic portal then took form. From the portal Fortitudo came forth and as he flew in the air he roared out and had his dragon heads fire out a blazing inferno to the ground. The Heat alone caused the ice to melt but the area began to be covered in lava.
The Demigods were wide eyed at this and thus Evan acted fast. "Let's go!" Evan called out and thus they all began to run to whatever cover they could. After a few jumps they managed to find an area of level ground and stood upon it.
"Those two are going to bring the entire mountain down!" Percy called out as he looked to Evan.
"I know." Evan said surprised that his sister was willing to sacrifice much to beat this guy.
"We have to stop them." Patty said until they were force to dodge thorns.
They looked and saw Dr. Thorn now sporting a more beast like appearance which include a scorpion tail and lion based arms and legs. "You're not going anywhere." Thorn as the group were flaring at a Manticore of all things.
"We're going to be here for a while." Evan said realizing they were stuck.
Back to the battle Calisto saw what the Lumen Sage brought in and knew it was time to fight summon with summon. "ARGEDCO!" Calisto invoked and with her wicked weave and infernal summoning once more summoned Labolas so he may do battle with the Angel Fortitudo. "You're not the only one capable of summoning friends!" Calisto taunted as she glared at her Lumen Sage foe.
"As expected from a Witch regardless have at you!" Tyr said and in turn the two charged at each other while in the background Fortitudo and Labolas had started battling. The two did battle fully intent on besting the other as they stopped pulling some of their punches in this. The Conflict went like this as the battle was doing more damage than either cared to note about during it.
Guns met Glaive as the two rivals battled against each other. Calisto used her Wicked Weave to summon parts of the other Demons she had access to while Tyr did the same with his Angels. The two spun around each other as Calisto fired her gun at him only for Tyr to move her gun arm away with his Glaive avoiding being shot by Calisto. The two traded blows against each other before Calisto performed a kick and was met with Tyr's Holy Glaive. The attacks met causing a small shockwave between them to form. In turn they parted from each other and glared at each other in pure contempt as their summonings did battle.
They then charged once more and continued to trade blows as the two were going as fast as Evan and Evelyn had done in their fights. It was clear when blood stains were hitting the ground that they weren't holding back as much this round. As the two foes Calisto and Tyr continued to go at it the two powerful entities behind them continued their own boat. The massive demon and Angel were clawing, blasting, or biting into each other as they fought like bitter rivals from ages long past.
Calisto was then forced to avoid fireballs sent at her by the Lumen Sage Tyr. Calisto avoided them via flips and cartwheels as Tyr continued his assault against the witch. This assault continued further as it was clear something had to give between the two but the climax was still miles away it would seem. Of course that did not mean their battle did not have consequences as the Sage and the Witch continued to fight. It was light vs dark as they were practically evenly matched against each other. The battle continued as the two forces then parted ways and glared at each at each other in pure contempt.
They then went for melee as Calisto switched to her twin swords while Tyr charged at her with his Glaive at the ready. The two clashed and thus swords met glaive as the two warriors of rival clans did battle. Sparks were made with each clash as Calisto and Tyr glared at each other. They then parted from each other before Calisto charged in again. She jumped up and proceeded to slash down with her sword upon Tyr intend on ending him here and now. Tyr blocked the attack with the shaft of his Glaive keeping the Umbra Witch at bay. He then split the Glaive in two and jumped back before throwing the weapons at Calisto where they spun in the air at her. Calisto avoided them but then saw Tyr was gone from her sight.
Acting fast she dodge an attack from Tyr who went in from behind to surprise the young Tri-Breed. Once she did this Calisto shot her heel guns at Tyr who avoided them with ease before spinning and reforming his Holy Glaive. Once the Glaive was one once more he stabbed at Jun who then side flipped away and fired her hand guns at the Lumen Sage. Tyr dodged the attack by halting time and grabbing the bullets midair. He then appeared behind Calisto and formed them into a circle before time resumed. The Bullets came at Calisto who then spin jumped through the ring the bullets had formed.
Once this was done Calisto took a battle stance and glared at her foe in absolute contempt yet also with a hint of respect for his strength. Calisto won't say it out loud but she was actually breaking a sweat. This excited her knowing that there were stronger foes out in the world to face and it inspired her to push herself further for them.
*End OST
On the ground Evan was fighting off the Manticore with Patty, Kat, Percy, Annabeth, Bianca and Thalia by his side. "Hey dummy this is no place for us to go at it!" Evan called out as he then went wide eyed to this. "Oh crap I'm turning into Calisto." Evan said realizing what he had said.
"Then it seems we die together!" Thorn called out and charged at the group who quickly dodged and/or blocked his attack. The Olympian monster roared out like a lion intent on taking them all down.
"Yeah in your dreams you ugly sack of shit!" Evan called out but before the fight could go on a hail of arrows came down upon the Manticore stabbing into its body causing the monster pain from them.
"Wait a minute." Evan said and thus looked to where the attacking arrows had come from despite the epic battle going on near them.
"Impossible!" The Manticore called out as he glared at where the Arrows had come from. Low and behold the Hunters of Artemis had arrived all hunting for the Manticore despite the dangers of the environment. "You have violated the Ancient Laws coming here tonight." Thorn growled as he glared at the Goddess in absolute contempt.
"You are a monster, a wild beast, and it is within my purview to slay wild beasts and monsters." Artemis said as she then notched up an arrow and aimed it at Thorn ready to end him here and now.
"Jeez mom could have cut it a bit short there?" Evan quipped as Artemis smirked at her son. It seems even despite the danger it was hard to get through the boys seemingly upbeat personality.
"Very well." Thorn was heard as he knew when he was beaten and to retreat. "If I cannot have live Godlings then I shall have dead ones!" Thorn called out and unknown to him Annabeth was sneaking up on him.
"Not if I have anything to say about it!" Annabeth called out as she jumped behind the Monster and stabbed her dagger into the beast. In response Thorn began to buck and struggle to get both Annabeth and the girl's dagger off of his back.
The two ended up going torts the ledge causing Evan and Percy to go wide eyed to this and panic. "No!" Evan cried out and gave chase to the two. Percy joined in as they tried to save Annabeth from falling off the ledge with the Manticore known as Thorn.
But alas they were not quick enough as the two in turn fell off the ledge into the chasm below. "Annabeth!" Percy cried out opting Corvus to act so he can save Annabeth from falling.
(In the Chasm with Corvus)
"Don't worry I got her!" Corvus called out as he flew down to rescue Annabeth. As Corvus got closer to Annabeth and Thorn as they fell he had his talons out to try and grab her before she and the monster hit the chasms bottom. Right now he didn't have time to worry about making sure he didn't cut her because he had to grab her as fast as possible. But as his talons reached out they began to touch the girl and in turn all of them began to glow. "What the?" Corvus began until all of a sudden he, Annabeth, and Thorn were gone in a flash of light vanishing from the Chasm.
(Back on the Chasms ledge)
Kat cried out as she grab her head causing everyone to go wide eyed with worry over the young Medium. "Kat!" Evan called out as he looked to Kat.
"It's Corvus… I can't sense him." Kat admitted as she even noted that one of her bucklers gems had gone dull. Fenrir and Furfur heard this and in turn began to worry over their close yet annoying as all hell friend. Plus considering Corvus was the one who translated for them it would make it hard for the two to get their thoughts out when speaking.
"Fuck." Evan cursed realizing they lost both Corvus and Annabeth.
Just then the group and the hunters had to avoid another magma blast as they all looked and saw the chaos going on right now.
"What's going on?" Artemis asked as she looked to her son for any important updates.
"Long story short the Demigod we came for is siding with the Titans and to top it off is a fucking Lumen Sage." Evan explained to which he then pointed to the demon and Angel doing battle with Calisto and Tyr not too far away.
"But he didn't seem to be aware of who's the actual good guys in this." Percy said as he remember some of the words spoken by the Lumen Sage Demigod.
"So a possible deception is being played upon this Sage." Artemis said and in turn another explosion above was heard and thus they saw the two doing battle were reaching this bout of violence climax.
(Back with Calisto vs Tyr)
The two parted ways both gasping for breath as they both kept their defenses up against each other. "I must confess Witch you are a formidable opponent." Tyr said as he kept his battle stance against the young Umbra Witch.
"I can actually say the same about you." Calisto returned the praised as she looked to the masked Lumen Sage.
"Regardless of this praise I believe we're at the end of things." Tyr said as he began to channel his power making Calisto do the same. "Rejoice hardly anyone I've faced before has forced me to use my full power. The Creator herself has blessed you for this honor and myself for facing such a worthy adversary in honorable combat." Tyr said as he looked ready to unleash his power.

During this Labolas charged at Fortitudo as the Angelic dragon did the same. Using his arm maws he chomped down on the Angels dragon heads before he used his main maw to bite down on the Audito's main body. The victory was his as with a cry of agony Fortitudo began to return to Paradiso to recover.
During this Tyr went off as a beam of light to the sky and appeared over Labolas. He then threw his Glaive down upon the Demon besting it in its already weakened state as it roared in pain. When the Light died down around Tyr even Calisto found herself at a loss for what she was seeing in the Lumen.
His entire form had changed looking more like an Angel himself. Protruding from the Sages back was two large pairs of pure ivory white wings. His main body had what seemed to be feathers mixed into it as his bare chest had clear sign of muscles that had become more like the Angels outer skin. His arms were tipped with gold claws that mixed with another pair of wings on his arms one per arm. The wings on his arms wrapped around them becoming more like gauntlets made of feathers. His lower body were a mixture of both humans and angel as it was mostly feathered that were tipped with gold talons. His head was the most peculiar as it was covered in a bird like helm that only showed his mouth and his right eye. His mouth showed to be much like that of the human faces many of the High Ranking Angels had suggesting he was at least an Angel of great power. Atop the helm were a second pair of wings no doubt for this forms aesthetics.
"Impossible." Calisto said taking a step back when she saw this. "He's a Tri-Breed." Calisto said realizing that whoever his Olympian Parent was he or she nailed a fucking Nephilim.
Knowing she can no longer hold back Calisto returned this show of force with one of her own. She jumped up to the sky and activated her Devil Trigger causing her left eye to flare to life once more. When this happened Tyr was the next to be left in shock at what he saw. Knowing he made the right call to stop pulling his punches he knew he was in for a fight now.
Taking the chance Calisto continued on with her next phase. "PDEE BARMA!" Calisto invoked to perform her Infernal Summoning. Thus in turn with her wicked weave a portal opened into Inferno following it up her Infernal Contract Demon, Lady Astarte. Lady Astarte glared at Tyr ready for battle as she had not seen a Lumen Sage for many centuries now.
With four feathers in his hands he threw them all to the air where an angelic portal began to form. "HONONOL!" Tyr invoked and in turn Temperantia descended from Paradiso.
"COME ON!" Temperantia called out ready to fight once more.
Once both summoner's and summons were ready the battle once more began. As Lady Astarte battled against Fortitudo Calisto was fighting against the Lumen Sage. They began to do battle as their fight went on to become more of a dog fight of divine proportions.
As the two foes flew about Calisto fired off her guns infused with her demonic power torts the Lumen Sage. Tyr in response deflected the shots with his Glaive before summoning forth more feathers and used them as throwing daggers. He infused them with his own angelic power and forced Calisto to fly around them. The battle continued as their summons were fighting as well trying to overpower the other as they traded titanic blows.
As they continued to do battle it was clear for all to see that they were two rivals driven to end the other. It was expected Angels and Demons were fundamentally opposing forces natural enemies to each other. It wouldn't be farfetched to see that their offspring would also share this hatred for the other. The two were then seen flying between their summoning's who were doing battle while the Tri-Breed were firing and clashing.
With the two titans of Paradiso and Inferno the battle in the sky was different. Their clash was truly that of divine proportions as the sky behind the Audito was raining holy rays of light from the heavens up high. Meanwhile on the side of Lady Astarte the sky was a blood red color showing the dark and demonic power this High Class Devil held. Relying on her brute strength and her nimbler form Astarte made sure to weave between Fortitudo's massive arms to attack. Going low she aimed for the Audito's mid-section to cause maximum damage to the angel. In response Fortitudo forced some distance between himself and Astarte and then came at her with a fist to the face. Astarte who had given chase to the Angel was unable to stop before she was hit in the face.
Following it up Fortitudo's other hand began to spin wildly before he used it to punch Astarte sending her flying back from the powerful blow. When this happened Fortitudo turned his attention to his summoner Tyr and his foe Calisto. He still remembered how Calisto had bested him using the same method as the Witch Bayonetta had done years ago. In fact the most recent memory he had of her was when she threw an Olympian missile into his face. In response Fortitudo began to charge up power with his eyes set on the Witch.
Calisto seeing the massive glow as did Tyr went wide eyed. Tyr knowing what the Angel intent to do got a few good swings on Calisto and then flew out of the way. Being stunned for a second Calisto was nearly helpless against the angels attack. Fortitudo unleashed a powerful energy blast upon the Tri-Breed opting Calisto to act fast. She quickly summoned her strength and used Witch Time to avoid the attack before going after Tyr and striking at him. She began to fly around him as fast as she could and attacked him with hit and run tactics.
When Witch Time ended Tyr was hit with the full force of Calisto's previous attacks sending him flying back. Calisto opted to make this showy as she in turn flew upward and thus her form was portrait by the moon. "You should understand my power jerk ass." Calisto said as the full moon was high behind her. "An Umbra Witch's power rises with the moon, my mother is Artemis so my strength flows from her doubling the power I have as an Umbra Witch." Calisto said as Tyr knew Calisto had the advantage over him.
"Then you will fall before my blade as did many of your clansman did against mine." Tyr vowed as he pointed his Glaive at Calisto.
"Then just try it asshole!" Calisto countered and in turn Lady Astarte rejoined the battle.
The Sage and the Witch then charged at each other and began to attack each other. Their movement and weapons becoming blurs as they attacked each other. Their blood flew out and rained down to the snow covered mountain below staining some of the pure white snow blood red.

The two then parted ways catching their breath fast before returning to it. Tyr snapped his fingers his order clear as Fortitudo then swung his fist at the Devil Astarte. In response Calisto roared and got ready to punch as well to which Astarte mimicked. Their fists collided for but a moment before sliding against each other's arms striking the others faces. The shockwave of it sent the two stumbling back for a moment before they regained themselves and objectives.
The two then got up close and personal as Astarte intended to end this battle. She grabbed the Angel by his arms and gave him a powerful head-butt. The strike knocked the Angel back leaving the Audito dazed and disoriented. Using this chance Astarte began to send punch after punch to Fortitudo's face causing it to crack revealing the ugliness underneath it. Astarte wasn't letting up as she kept up the strikes intent on defeating the natural enemy of Inferno. Astarte kept up her assault into she slammed her head into Fortitudo again sending the Audito flying back from this Devils strike.

*Insert Bayonetta 2 OST: Lumen Climax
Having just about enough of Lady Astarte Fortitudo charged in throwing all he had to ending this battle right now. Astarte had similar thoughts and in turn charged as well torts her for from Paradiso. Once they got close enough they sent powerful punches at each other where their fists collided and began to struggle to overpower the other fist. When those attack had original met a shockwave had formed from it before they both pulled back and once more clashed with their other arms. This went on for a bit as their speed against each other began to increase.
Soon their fists were blurs as they kept their assaults going against their natural foes. This went on for some time before one final clash resulted in a massive burst of power between the two.
This caused major damage to both the mountain and the military school where debris flew to the sky. Calisto landed on one piece of it while growling and reverting to her human form. Tyr did the same as he the glared at Calisto intent on ending this brawl between them. The two then charged at each other with Tyr's glaive pointed outward and Calisto with a flying drop kick ready to use against the Sage. Their attacks met half-way as the result was a blast of force and power between the two powerful Tri-Breed warriors.
Fortitudo and Lady Astarte no longer able to stay in the mortal world returned home to Paradiso and Inferno respectively. As they did this the sky began to clear up opting those on the ground to begin a search for the Umbra Witch and Lumen Sage.
(Later on the ground)
The battle had resulted in an avalanche of all things as there was hardly anything left from the school. It was a miracle in of itself the school was deserted. Still the group would not have survived it if not for the quick thinking of Kat and Furfur. Furfur had stretched his body as wide as he could to form a dome around the Hunt and the heroes as they were buried under the snow.
Once the chaos began to calm itself Furfur blasted out a torrent of flames to free themselves from the snow. When everyone began to climb out Artemis was the first to speak up. "Find Calisto and her opponent now!" Artemis ordered and despite her cold exterior it was clear she was worried for her daughter.
"Yes milady!" Zoe said and thus they began the search.
They didn't have to look far though as from nearby a mound of snow burst out getting everyone's attention. They looked and saw it was Tyr as he climbed out of the snow tired and exhausted from taking on Calisto. His mask was heavily damaged yet somehow managed to remain intact on the Tri-Breed face.
When everyone was about to draw their weapons another mound of snow burst forth and from it Calisto climbed out. But like with Tyr she was also at her limit as the two glared at each other in absolute contempt. But before Tyr could even move his mask broke at the right side revealing his eye underneath it. He glared at Calisto who then glared back taking a battle stance.
Artemis of course was worried that Calisto might just try to fight him until one of them drops dead from exhaustion. As Tyr was about to attack he suddenly stopped as he in turn began to stumble back while grabbing his masked face right side. His Glaive fell to the ground and vanished in a flash of light while Tyr continued to stumble back to the Chasm behind him.
Just then from under his hand a blue glow was seen as Calisto then grabbed her own face or more specifically her left eye. In turn the two both began to cry out in pain as they revealed their eyes from their hands. The Left Eye of Darkness that Calisto possessed was glowing while her own body giving off a crimson red aura resonating with another power.
"The Left Eye of Darkness?" Patty asked shocked to see the Left Eye was responding some something. When she said this Percy and Grover went wide eyed and looked over to Tyr. Seeing this the group all looked as well and saw that Tyr's revealed right eye was glowing an azure blue color as his own body was covered in an azure blue aura.
As Tyr stumbled back he soon fell over the ledge causing Percy to act. "No wait!" Percy called out as he then chased after Tyr but as he fell he soon vanished into the darkness.
Artemis was shocked as it seems Jubileaus was correct about the Eyes. They were created together and thus can only be destroyed together. Since the Left Eye was now bonded to the youngest Umbra Witch before Bianca the Right Eye was now bonded to the last of the Lumen Sages. The Eyes of the World at long last have returned. They all did not know what would result from this but they did know trouble was coming their way soon.
(Scene Break an Unknown Location)
Corvus woke up with Annabeth as they looked around in confusion for but a moment. The two began to walk about trying to figure out where they were. But as they walked they soon heard the sound of armor nearby. The two looked and saw a woman in ebony black armor wielding a large sword glaring at them. Her helm had a humanoid face on it yet lifeless eyes as she glared at the two.
"Jeez one thing after the other." Corvus complained as Annabeth was nervous about this foe. Yet at the same time the two noted something oddly familiar about this unknown warrior.
"Who or what is she?" Annabeth asked and thus Corvus had an answer for her.
"I don't know who she is but I do know what she is… She's an Angelo." Corvus said and in turn Annabeth was worried hearing Dante's tales about Nelo Angelo.
"Oh fuck." Annabeth cursed as she realized the trouble the mixed duo were now in.
(Meanwhile with Tyr unknown location)
Somehow Tyr had not appeared where Annabeth and Corvus did. He was seen passed out on the side of the road. As he laid there his visible eye was closed showing he was in fact unconscious. But despite his injuries healing thanks to his healing factor it was evident he had taken one hell of a beating this day. Nearby Rodin was seen kneeling over Tyr as he gave the young Lumen a look over.
"Well seems I might just have myself a new regular soon." Rodin said with a drag of his Cigar. "First need to make sure someone finds you first." Rodin said and thus he looked and saw a Car approaching them. "Ah speak of the Devil." Rodin said as he then entered a portal and returned to the Gates of Hell. The car ended up pulling over no doubt noticing Tyr and thus from it a family walked out from it.
From it a man was seen as not far behind him a red haired young woman came out seeing it go down. The father removed Tyr's mask and gasped when he saw the boy here injured and knocked out. The red haired young woman to the other hand looked to Tyr and blushed at what she saw. In time the paramedics would appear to take Tyr to be healed.
