Calliope, Lady Death, God of War and Revenge

AU: What if it had been Calliope in her father's place?

33. The Battle of Olympus part 6

The Battle of Olympus part 6

Calliope and Alecto went through Tartarus and faced many enemies along the way while Lady Death found and opened many cheats in the area. After getting to a large part of the horrible place, a Centaur general appeared with many undead soldiers. Calliope and Alecto dealt with the soldiers easily while the Centaur general was more of a challenge. While Alecto used her black goo to slow him down, the Ghost of Sparta used the Class of Hades to slice him, dealing great damage to him before she sliced into his stomach, making his intestines spill out of him, killing him and making the barrier above them disappear.

They then continued further and got into a large room that had the Gates of Tisiphone. Alecto and Calliope made it to the large gate, leading to the Pit of Tartarus. "This is it, baby." Alecto said. "The Pit of Tartarus is through this gate. All we need to do is figure out how to open it."

Calliope nodded when suddenly two Chimera's appeared and they drew their weapons. "Damn these monsters!"

The fight started by Calliope using her bow and arrows to make the explosives near them blow when the Chimeras were close to them, stunning them enough for the 2 lovers to slice off their snakes tail with their blades before Calliope usd the Claws of Hades to kill one Chimera, while Alecto killed the other using Hercules' Nemean Cestus! And when they were dead, Calliope and Alecto began solving the puzzle to open the large gate. After several minutes of puzzling, Calliope and Alecto managed to open the large gate, leading them into the Pit of Tartarus.

Upon entering the destructive landscape of the Pit of Tartarus, the two lovers were attacked by several undead skeleton soldiers, but easily defeated them.

When they defeated the last enemy, Alecto looked for a moment over the Pit of Tartarus, the place where the legendary battleground of the first Great War was fought between the Olympian Gods and the Titans, where the Titans were wrongfully imprisoned after their defeat.

Calliope embraced her lover from behind and softly stroked her belly. "We need to go further, baby." Calliope softly said in Alecto's ear.

Alecto softly moaned as she nodded. "I know... It's just... horrible. Remembering what the Titans all had to go through."

Calliope slowly turned Alecto and both glanced at each other. "Let's not think about that right now. We need to go and find the Omphalos stone."

Alecto gave her lover a lustful passionate kiss. After a minute she slowly broke the kiss and said. "Then let's go, my love."

And along the way down, Alecto and Calliope defeated more undead skeletons very easily.

While checking around the landscape of where this Omphalos stone could be, Calliope suddenly remembered something that Gaia told her while she and Sophie went to the Sisters of Fate. "Wait a minute...!"

Alecto turned and glanced at her lover. "What's wrong, Calliope?"

"Gaia once told me that... the Omphalos stone was used when-"

Suddenly, the ground around them shaked before it was lifted up! While trying to hold on, Calliope and Alecto saw who was the one who lifted them up. It was the Evil King of the Titans: Cronos!

With a fierce look, Cronos scowled when seeing the Ghost of Sparta. "My great-granddaughter and her Fury lover enters my tomb?"

"Cronos!" Calliope yelled in anger at the Titan who was responsible for all the misery that befell on his fellow Titans.

Cronos kept looking angry at Lady Death and the Ex-Fury Queen. "I know it was you two who turned all the Titans against me, Spartan. Who else could?"

"That was because of you, Cronos!" Alecto yelled at the former King of the Titans. "You were the reason that Gaia and the others turned against you! And for what? Just because of your fear that your own children would turn against you?!"

"AND THEY DID!" The giant Titan yelled. "Now, I live in torment because of you, Calliope. After you took the Box from the Temple of Chaos, Zeus was consumed with fear. He banished me to the Pits of Tartarus."

Calliope looked away while crossing her arms. "To even think I once felt pity for you when the Gods tasked me and Alecto to kill Ares." Then she glanced back at the Titan, saying coldly. "But this new fate suits you even better than the last one, you giant asshole!"

Cronos' anger grew. "You might have killed Ares for your own need for vengeance, Lady Death. But this time, retribution finally comes to me, you little bitches!" with his giant fingers, Cronos grabbed the Ghost of Sparta and her Fury lover, in an attempt to crush them for what they did to him!

With all their might, they tried to hold Cronos, preventing him from crushing them to death. As Calliope and Alecto pushed Cronos' giant index finger away, Alecto got an idea and quickly grabbed Hellios' head "Calliope! Close your eyes, now!"

Calliope did so, and using the head of Helios, Alecto flashed its light on Cronos, blinding him! "AAARGH! My eyes!"

In the shock, Alecto grabbed Calliope and landed on Cronos' other hand, while the evil Titan tried to gain his sight. "UUURGH! Damn you bitches! You will suffer when my sight returns!"

Calliope and Alecto then began to kill many undead soldiers before Cronos got up, having regained his sight while unknowingly spinned his right wrist bind, creating a gap for Calliope and Alecto to climb up the Titan's arm before they destroyed a flesh bump, hurting Cronos a little.

But it also revealed where they were as the Titan looked in their direction. "Ah, there you both are." He said before he began to try to blow Calliope and Alecto off him. But while they hung on, the undead soldiers weren't so lucky before Cronos tried to crush them with his giant fingers. But Calliope got an idea when she saw a rotten fingernail and used her blades to slice it a bit before she used them to completely pull it off, hurting the Titan greatly!

"Ahhh! You little bitch!" Cronos said with anger.

"Serves you right, asshole!" Calliope called out.

This only annoyed the disgraced king of the Titans. "You and your Fury bitch are both pests, and deserve to be crushed like pests."

Then, when Alecto and Calliope climbed on Cronos' hand, after attempting to crush them, Cronos' head was suddenly grabbed by another Titan! "CRONOS!" Before he was hit hard in the face!

In the shock, Calliope grabbed on Alecto as both flew up. "Atlas?" Alecto wondered with confusion, as their Titan friend fought the Titan King.

But then, Calliope spotted their daughter on Atlas' shoulder. "SYLVIA!"

Alecto saw her too, and flew down with Calliope to where their daughter was standing.

The warrior princess was overjoyed to see her mothers again "Moms!" And ran towards them and embraced them.

Calliope and Alecto let their daughter hug for a while, till Calliope asked with a serious tone. "Sylvia, what are you doing here?! I told you to stay with Atlas!"

"Orkos told me that you guys were in danger! So, I..." Sylvia explained, till she was interrupted by Alecto.

"Wait. Orkos? You saw my son?!" The Ex-Fury Queen asked in shock.

Sylvia nodded. "Yes, mom. I saw... my brother. He told me you two were walking into a trap." Then she glanced back to her birth mother, Calliope, apologizing. "I'm sorry, mom. I know you told me to stay with Atlas and be safe, but I couldn't let you guys get killed. Let me help you, please."

Both Calliope and Alecto glanced at each other for a moment. Both felt that it was too late for Sylvia to go back and be somewhere else to be safe. Calliope held her daughter's shoulders and said. "Alright. But stay close to us, do you understand? And if something bad happens-"

"I'll run and don't look back. I know, mom. I can do this." Sylvia finished her mother's sentence, knowing what to do, but felt she was ready for this kind of thing.

Suddenly, all three were almost shocked away from Atlas' shoulder from a heavy blow from Cronos, but all held tight using their blades. "Atlas! You will suffer for turning your back on your king!" Cronos called with fury for being betrayed by his right hand man.

As the three warriors climbed up to Atlas, Sylvia called to her mothers. "Moms! We've got to help Atlas!"

Alecto nodded in agreement, but didn't know how.

Calliope then saw the main chains on Cronos' chest and got an idea. "The chains! We've got to break the chains somehow!"

Alecto and Sylvia agreed and used their climbing skills to try and reach Cronos, while he still fought with Atlas. The 4 armed Titan did everything he could to fight his former king, but Cronos was more powerful than he was, even if he still had the temple on his back, delivering several blows on Atlas.

But Atlas still was able to hold his own due to finally having some time to recuperate from holding the world for so very long, and having 4 arms did have some advantages. He was able to block some of Cronos' punches while countering with his 2 extra arms, landing some punches to his chests, ribs and stomach while Calliope and her family were trying to get the the main part of Cronos' chains, killing many undead soldiers along the way. But Cronos used the still chained temple on his back to harm Atlas greatly, stunning him long enough to land several punches on Atlas before finally uppercutting him, making him fall to the ground! Cronos then tried to strangle Atlas before the 4 armed Titan used his legs to kick him in his ribs, making the evil Titan let go of him before he kicked him away, got back up and continued to fight with Cronos.

When the Ghost of Sparta and her family finally reached the lock that held all the chains on Cronos, Alecto and Sylvia fought the skeletons while Calliope tried to open the lock. After a few minutes, Calliope opened the lock, revealing a big onyx rock that held the chains.

Alecto used the Nemean Cestus to crush the rock. But that was when Cronos knew something was up. After he threw Atlas away, he grabbed his big left hand lock. When he opened it, he saw Alecto, Calliope and Sylvia hanging on it. "Ah! There you are, bitches! And it looks like you brought your precious daughter too." He said before he raised his hand. "Your fates are now in my hands!"

Cronos raised his other and attempted to crush the three warriors in his hands!

But with all their might, Alecto, Calliope and Sylvia held Cronos' hand from crushing them and pulled it up! Calliope then used the Blade of Olympus to stab Cronos' hand, making him raise it as he screamed in pain. "AAARGH! Damn you, Spartan!"

Cronos then held his hand down, making Calliope use her blades to hang from it while Alecto quickly grabbed Sylvia and flew her to Cronos' left shoulder while Calliope used her blades to follow them using the grappling hooks on the chains.

When they got to the left shoulder, several skeleton warriors appeared but the family easily killed them before a skeleton cyclops came out of Cronos' shoulder before Calliope engaged it.

While fighting the skeleton cyclops, Calliope realized what they had to do in order to claim the Omphalos stone. "Alecto!" She called.

Alecto came to her lover. "What is it?"

Sylvia was too busy with the other skeletons to hear what her mothers were saying.

"Baby, I know how to get the Omphalos stone! But..." Calliope stated, but was sure Alecto wasn't going to like it.

"But what?"

"Just trust me, alright!" Calliope called before jumping on the skeleton cyclops and controlled it by slashing into Cronos' wounded shoulder.

As Cronos tried to hold Atlas' attacks, he felt the pain on his shoulder and hit it with his hand hard, making Calliope and Alecto fall down with the skeleton cyclops.

Sylvia held on as she called out. "Moms!"

Cronos then suddenly grabbed Calliope and Alecto while they were attempting to kill the skeleton cyclops. "Enough. It is time to end this. Trust me. Eating you will be more unpleasant for me!" Before he then held them above his mouth, eating first the cyclops, and then Calliope and Alecto!

Sylvia was horrified to see her mothers being eaten alive. "NOOOOOOO!" She said in rage before her Spartan rage exploded and she raced to Cronos' face. "YOU EVIL BASTARD!" She yelled in fury before she hit and slashed through his face, hurting him!

"Graaagh! You damn little girl!" Cronos said angrily. And with a fierce uppercut, he hit Atlas hard, making him fall on the ground. While Cronos used his foot to keep Atlas pinned down on the ground, he reached his hand to his face, grabbing Sylvia! He then evilly smirked as he looked at an angered Sylvia. "Do not worry, little Sylvia. You'll be joining your mothers really soon." Before he held her up while opening his large mouth.

Sylvia was frightened and tried to hold on!

But as Cronos was about to eat Sylvia too, the Titan suddenly felt a large pain in his belly. "Ugh! AAGH!" As the pain increased, he dropped Sylvia while holding his belly "Aaaargh!"

As Sylvia hanged on, using her blades, she saw the Blade of Olympus piercing out of Cronos' belly and slashed it open, making Cronos' intestines drop out as Calliope and Alecto escaped and landed on one of Cronos' hands, trying to hold the wound while screaming in agonizing pain!

Sylvia was relieved and dropped to her mothers, using her blades to get to them.

Alecto and Calliope were soaked in blood, while Alecto held the Omphalos stone before Sylvia embraced her mothers, being so happy that they were alright.

Cronos kept screaming in pain. "AAAARGH! You have what you came for! Let me be!"

Suddenly, Atlas saw his chance and charged at Cronos. Calliope, Alecto and Sylvia quickly jumped out of the way as Atlas slams at Cronos, pinning him down the ground! "This is for all the pain you've caused upon our kind!" Atlas screamed as he punched all his four arms against Cronos' face and stomach, causing Cronos to cough out blood.

After several minutes, Calliope called to their Titan friend "Atlas! Stop!" Atlas glanced at Lady Death in confusion "He's beaten. Let him go."

Atlas shook his head as he grabbed Cronos by the throat. "He is the one responsible for all the pain that the Titans had to endure and the rise of Olympus! He deserves to die for what he has done!"

As Atlas raised his fist to beat Cronos to death, Calliope called out to him again. "Atlas! If you strike him down in anger, you're no better than him. I know what he has done, we all do and yes, he deserves to suffer for what he did to the world and the Titans. So let him suffer here in Tartarus for eternity, for if you kill him now you'll grant him mercy. Mercy he doesn't deserve."

For a minute, Atlas thought of what the Ghost of Sparta said. He felt that she was right, if he kills the fallen King of the Titans now, It will just be another form of mercy. Atlas let's him go, leaving Cronos to suffer.

As Atlas left, while Calliope, Alecto and Sylvia hung onto his shoulder, they could hear Cronos screaming at them. "Damn you, Spartan! Damn you ALL! Mark my words, Calliope, one day somewhere in the future, I will escape this torment! And when I do, I shall have my vengeance on the world and your descendants! I SWEAR, ONE DAY I SHALL RETURN AND KILL YOU ALL!"

Calliope just scowled at the evil Titan before looking away. However, Cronos' last words to the family made Sylvia somehow worried, thinking of what Cronos would be capable of if he did return one day. The warrior princess closed her eyes and made a vow to herself 'When that day comes that you'll return and rage havoc on the world, Cronos. My descendants will be ready for you.'

Not long after, Atlas brought his three friends to a tunnel that would lead them out of Tartarus. Once Calliope, Alecto and Sylvia jumped off Atlas' hand, the Titan said. "You can take that tunnel out of Tartarus. I will leave the Underworld and join your fight on Olympus."

Sylvia smiled at Atlas and held his big hand with hers. "Thank you for everything, Atlas."

The Titan gave a simple nod before going away, to climb his way out of the Underworld while Sylvia joined her mothers and entered the tunnel.

Back at Hephaestus' prison/forge

the Smith God was working on another bronze statue of Pandora, while Nemesis waited for the two warriors 'return'.

Suddenly, Alecto, Calliope and Sylvia jumped down from an opening in the ceiling. While Hephaestus was happy to see his friends still alive, Nemesis was surprised to see them again.

When Sylvia saw the Smith God, she smiled and ran to him. "Hephaestus! You're alive!"

Hephaestus embraced the warrior princess with his big hands. "Sylvia! It's so good to see you again."

However, Calliope and Alecto marched with an angry face to Nemesis. "You sent me and Alecto to our deaths?!"

Nemesis raised her hands. "No, no, no. Calm yourselves. I knew you and Alecto were up to the challenge." Before she then saw that Alecto held the Stone, making her form a small grin. "I see that you've found the Omphalos stone. Good, good. Now you will finally have the weapon to destroy Zeus."

Alecto just sighed and tossed the stone to Hephaestus, who caught it. "This better be worth it, you damn Goddess!"

Nemesis assured the Ex-Fury Queen. "Do not worry, It will be."

While Hephaestus went to work on the new weapons, Sylvia started to wonder that if Pandora's father was alive, that means that Pandora was too! She went over to her mothers and asked "Moms! If Hephaestus is alive, that means-"

Calliope nodded. "Yes. Pandora is alive."

Sylvia gasped, with tears forming in her eyes. She was this close to exploding with emotions, both anger and sadness.

But Calliope held her shoulders and assured her daughter. "We'll save her, Sylvia! We will."

For a moment, Sylvia looked at her mother and nodded. "Then... where is she? What did Zeus do to her?"

Alecto then answered. "She's been locked away in the Labyrinth, in the Caverns of Olympus."

A sense of anger and determent rose in Sylvia. "We... we've got to save her! I don't want to lose her again."

"Don't worry, sweetheart. We'll save her. We promise." Calliope said while hugging her daughter while Nemesis just kept quiet.

After a few more minutes, Hephaestus was done with the weapons. "There! They're finished. With these, you'll be able to pass that barrier and give Zeus a taste of his own medicine." Before he showed the new weapons he'd made from the Omphalos stone. It was two sets of what seemed to be clawed whips with some sparking electricity.

Calliope and Alecto both took the new weapons, being fascinated by the design.

Nemesis then walked up to the two heroines and said in a wise way. "Now that you have your weapons, I have something else to give you. A final gift."

Both Alecto and Calliope raised an eyebrow. "And what will that 'final gift' be, Nemesis?"

Nemesis turned for a moment, taking something from her tunic while evilly smirking. "Your... FINAL RETRIBUTION!" She answered before she suddenly waved with an electric dagger, shocking both Alecto and Calliope with its power while its power multiplied because of their new weapons, making Calliope and Alecto scream in pain as the electricity hurted them greatly.

NO!" Sylvia screamed and attacked Nemesis with her blades, but deflected them with her powerful wings! With her dagger she tried to strike down Sylvia, but avoided Nemesis slash in time!

Hephaestus was horrified by what he suddenly saw and attempted to help Sylvia by grabbing his tool and hitting Nemesis with it, making Nemesis yell in pain as one of her wings tore off! "Aaargh!"

As Calliope and Alecto tried to recover from the sudden shock from Nemesis, Sylvia used this chance to attack Nemesis and with a heavy blow, slagging off the other wing! While Nemesis screamed in agony, Sylvia stabbed Nemesis with both her blades in her chest!

Nemesis watched with wide eyes as she was hit in both her heart and belly. "No! Impossible!"

When Sylvia pulled out her blades from Nemesis, Hephaestus let her go before the backstabbing goddess fell on the floor while bleeding to death.

Still feeling hurt, Calliope grabbed Nemesis by the collar. "Why Nemesis!? WHY!? Was it Zeus that ordered you to kill us? DID HE!?"

Nemesis couched out some blood as she slowly answered. "I wanted... to kill you... and all the Gods..."

"What?" Calliope asked, confused.

"Once you and Alecto were dead... I was going for Zeus, the Olympians and the Titans..." Nemesis then scowled at Lady Death. "You, the Olympians, Titans, Furies... all of you are responsible for all the pain and suffering upon mankind... I wanted to end it... a world... without all of you... or this damned cycle of children killing their parents..." And as her anger slowly died, a tear fell from Nemesis' eye. "The dying... they call for vengeance... for retribution... I wanted to end it all... all... of... it..."

As Nemesis breathed out her last breath, her body glowed a bright light, and in a flash the Goddess of Revenge and Retribution was no more.

While Hephaestus rubbed his eyes, Calliope couldn't believe what Nemesis told her. "She just... wanted to end it all. But by backstabbing us and eventually betraying Zeus and the Olympians?"

Alecto shook her head, still recovering from all the electricity that went through her body. "And I thought that Nemesis was smarter than this."

Sylvia then gave a grin. "Not so bad to have me around after all, huh?" Before both mothers smiled at their daughter and gave her a hug.

After a minute, Calliope and Alecto broke the hug and Hephaestus called out to Sylvia, having just finished something for her. "Sylvia, this is for you." Before showing what he'd made: 2 Fleeces, 1 Silver and the other red.

Sylvia took the Silver Fleece and was fascinated by it before she put it on her right arm. "Wow. This is... beautiful." Before she looked at the red Fleece. "But who's the red Fleece for?"

"Isn't that obvious, Sylvia? It's for Sophie, your fiance. Think of it as my engagement and wedding present from me to you and her." Hephaestus answered with a smile.

Sylvia smiled as well, thinking that the Fleeces were a perfect engagement and wedding present for her and her Sophie. "Thanks, Hephaestus."

Hephaestus nodded before he said. "Go now. The longer you guys wait, the more mankind and my beautiful Pandora will suffer."

Just then, as the family was ready to go, another person appeared from the portal. It was Aphrodite, looking with a sad face. "Hephaestus?"

Surprised, Hephaestus looked, but soon he smiled at seeing his ex-wife. "Aphrodite." But as soon as he saw tears falling from her cheeks, Hephaestus carefully took her in his hands. "Aphrodite..."

Not able to hold herself anymore, she hugged her ex. "Hephaestus... Hephaestus, I'm so sorry for everything! This is all my fault. All of it."

Hephaestus shook his head, comforting the Goddess of love. "It's alright. I forgive you... I am much to blame for our failed marriage."

Now Aphrodite shook her head, while tears still flowed from her eyes. "No... I failed you as a wife... not being able to... give you a child. I was so stupid, Hephaestus." Then she softly spoke. "I still love you."

Hephaestus closed his eyes, while a tear fell from his eye. "I love you too, my precious Aphrodite. I never stopped loving you."

Both looked at each other, both forming a smile while Aphrodite wiped away her tears. Then, Hephaestus sighed deep while looking down. "If I just wasn't... this big, I-"

Aphrodite shook her head while slowly touching his big cheek. "It's alright, Hephaestus. I don't care about that anymore. All I want is you."

Alecto smiled, nearly getting teary herself, of seeing her younger sister finally telling Hephaestus that she still loves him and just wants his love. Calliope and Sylvia smiled at them too.

Calliope then whispered to Sylvia and Alecto. "Let's leave them be."

Both nodded and followed Calliope to the portal above. But before they went through it, Sylvia watched Hephaestus and Aphrodite one more time, seeing them sharing a kiss. Sylvia wandered something and softly spoke a spell upon Hephaestus.

While both still kissed, Hephaestus suddenly started to shrink, till he was almost Aphrodite's size while both still shared a kiss. When they broke it, both looked shocked at what happened to Hephaestus.

Then they looked at Sylvia, who felt a bit lightheaded from using that spell, but said. "I... know that that spell doesn't work on Gods, but... maybe because you were imprisoned by Zeus in here, Hephaestus, maybe... Zeus took away your position as God?"

This made Aphrodite look surprised, while Hephaestus was confused. But then they smiled at each other again and embraced in a passionate kiss, as they'd desired this for so long.

Sylvia gave them a small smile, before going through the portal and joining her mothers.

Both Hephaestus and Aphrodite kissed while touching each other everywhere, something that was very hard for them to do when they were still married and because of Hephaestus' large size, it was hard for them to make love. But now, both could release all the passion and desire they'd held for so long.

Not wanting to wait, Aphrodite stripped out of her clothing and embraced Hephaestus with another deep kiss. Hephaestus touched Aphrodite's breasts and pussy, making her moan of pleasure. "Hmmm... ahhh... Oh, Hephaestus... yes... Hmmm..."

Hephaestus was so turned on by this one thing he'd desired for thousands of years, that his cock was already rock hard. Not being able to hold himself any longer, he slowly laid her down on the floor and immediately thrusted his cock inside Aphrodite's wet pussy!

"Hmmmaaaah!" Aphrodite yelled of pleasure. She pulled Hephaestus close to her while he kept fucking deep inside her. "Yes! Yes! Yes! Hephaestus, yes! Fuck me! Fuck me! Fuck me hard! Yeah!"

"Aaah! Aphrodite...! This is... amazing! Aaah!"

They kept going for a minute, till Hephaestus felt his climax coming fast. "Aphrodite! Aphrodite! I... Nghaaah!" And filled her vagina with his seed. Hephaestus didn't mean to cum so fast, so he looked at Aphrodite, who's eyes become teary.

Hephaestus felt guilty for making Aphrodite cry. "Aphrodite, I-I-I'm sorry, I... I didn't mean to..."

But Aphrodite shook her head as a smile formed on her face. "No, Hephaestus... I'm just... so very happy. For so long... I never thought this was possible between us. And now..."

Hephaestus smiled and shared a kiss with Aphrodite. When he broke the kiss, he still apologized. "I'm still sorry for cumming too soon..."

Again, Aphrodite shook her head. "Don't be. You just held it in for so long." She then bit her lip. "And I know just the thing to make you go again." Before she pushed Hephaestus out of the way, making her on top. She went down to Hephaestus' half hard penis and sucked it, swallowing some remaining seed.

It felt so good to Hephaestus that he was feeling rock hard again from Aphrodite's sucking skills.

In her mind, Aphrodite was so glad for what Sylvia did for them. 'Thank you so much, my little niece. You truly are a treasure to my sister. And... since I know that spell lasts for at least an hour, I'll be having the time of my life with Hephaestus.'

Meanwhile, with Pandora

Pandora was sitting in a corner of her new cell, while holding her legs. She sobbed, worried about Aphrodite. Despite being mean to her in the past, Pandora could sense in the Goddess of love that she was sorry for what she did to her and wanted to do anything to make up for all the cruel things she'd said.

But mostly, because of the battle between the Gods and the Titans, Pandora was worried about her dear Epimetheus. She hoped deep down that he was alright. "Oh Epimetheus... I miss you so much... I wish you were here... with me..." And as she kept sobbing, she softly whispered. "I love you."

Suddenly, in the middle of her room, the normal flame became blue. Confused, Pandora looked at the flame. "Did... I do that?" She asked, wondering if it was because of her use of magic that she changed the normal fire into a blue flame.

Pandora wandered, and used her magic to use the blue flame to see where Epimetheus was.

Slowly, images were showing in the blue flame, revealing how the world was being destroyed. The seas swallowed the lands, the sun was covered under dark clouds and disease infected all the survivors. Pandora's heart sank from what she saw. She became desperate, while searching through all the sick survivors who were more dead than alive. "Oh no. Please Epimetheus, don't be dead!"

Pandora nearly cried as she kept searching through all the faces of the remaining people. Suddenly, above a high mountain near the flooded Athens, now surrounded by an endless sea, Pandora saw dozens of sick people, slowly dying of the plague. Among them, she saw Epimetheus! He slowly walked, nearly losing balance. As he grabbed onto a nearby tree, he couched loudly and fell on the floor.

Pandora shook her head while she cried, holding her hands on her mouth. "Epimetheus! No... No, please don't die, Epimetheus! Please!" She sobbed, seeing the love of her life dying before her eyes, not being able to help him.

Pandora could hear him softly speaking. "Pandora... Pandora..."

"No! You can't die, my love! I won't let you die!" Pandora yelled as she suddenly used all her power on the flame, trying desperately to help Epimetheus. Any way she could!

The Flame of Olympus suddenly changed colors, while increasing in size and sparkled flames and energy in every direction.

Pandora closed her eyes shut, wanting to help Epimetheus. "Epimetheus! Please, stay with me! I don't want you to die! EPIMETHEUS!" Pandora screamed her lungs out! Suddenly, her eyes glow a bright blue light as the blue flame she placed her energy in glowed bright!

Meanwhile, with Epimetheus

As Epimetheus felt his life slipping away, he looked up to the darkened sky. All he could think of was Pandora, nothing else. 'Pandora... I don't... know if you can hear this... but... wherever you are... I miss you so much.' Before he couched one more time as he softly spoke. "I wish I could see your face... one last time..."

Just then, something started to shine in the sky above him, slowly coming closer to him. Epimetheus thought it must be one of the spirits, taking him to the afterlife. But the shining shape was slowly forming... into Pandora, wearing a long white dress. "Pa... Pandora?"

Pandora's spirit slowly came down over Epimetheus. A tear fell from her eye as she smiled. Pandora moved her face closer to the love of her life, planting a soft kiss on his lips. In the moment that they kissed, Pandora sended some of her life energy into Epimetheus.

As the kiss broke, Pandora started to fade away as she softly whispered. "I love you... Epimetheus."

Epimetheus' illness was suddenly gone and he felt better. As the shade of Pandora faded, he tried to reach for her. "No! Pandora don't go!" But she was gone. He sighed in sadness, but thanked her for saving him.

Back with Pandora

Once Pandora broke the connection, her eyes went back to normal and fell on the floor unconscious.

Back with Calliope and her family

While they went out of Aphrodite's chamber, Alecto told her daughter that Aphrodite is actually her younger sister. Sylvia was both shocked and surprised to hear this, but after hearing about Alecto's past mistakes with her younger sister, the warrior princess began to understand why she had never told her before. "I... I think I understand now, mom. At least you and Aphrodite are willing to start again. I'm proud of you."

Alecto smiled and both shared a hug. However, they were interrupted when a horde of undead soldiers appeared and a barrier formed. Now armed with their new weapons, Calliope and Alecto both used the electric powers of their whip claws and killed many of Zeus' minions. Sylvia too helped out and now armed with the Silver Fleece, she was able to deflect their attacks more effectively.

Once they were all dead and the barrier disappeared, Sylvia formed a smile while looking at her new Fleece. "Wow. This sure comes in handy." But then she became sad as she took the Red Fleece that she kept behind her back to give to her fiance, Sophie and said to herself. "Oh, my dear Sophie, please be alright."

Calliope placed her hand on her daughter's shoulder. "Don't worry, Sylvia. Your fiance is stronger than almost any other warrior, even close to your strength. I'm sure she's alright."

Sylvia was hoping the same thing. After she gave a nod, she placed the Red Fleece back to her back and joined her mothers while moving over the Upper Gardens.

With their Nemesis Whips, Calliope was able to fix the bridges, while Alecto used hers to destroy the barrier that Zeus created. With the way clear, the family proceeded, till they were at another door. Calliope opened it and all entered the hallway. But as they moved on, the hallway ended in another room, filled with books, schematics, journals, portals and a ballista.

"What is this place?" Sylvia wondered.

"I don't know." Alecto answered. "It's like some kind of workshop, but I don't remember anyone having ever used this place before."

Calliope then wandered while looking at the schematics on a desk. "Maybe this is why Zeus never asked Hephaestus to fix those bridges outside?" When Calliope looked at a journal, she said. "Hey, take a look at this. It's more information about the Labyrinth. Designed by... Daedelus?" Calliope also found in another journal that Daedelus needed the Fires of Hades to create the Labyrinth.

Alecto found more records of many workers that had died in creating the Labyrinth and the large Chain. "By the Gods... so many have died... just so that Daedelus would see his son again."

Calliope walked over to and sadly nodded. "Yeah... the only thing is... Daedelus' son, Icarus, is dead." She said while showing the wings she now had from Icarus.

"Moms! Take a look at this! It's Pandora." Sylvia called her mothers.

Both came to their daughter, who showed them a notebook entry, with a drawing of Pandora in full detail and some texts, saying: 'Today, Zeus locked his 'treasure' away in the Caverns. The King of the Gods commanded me to make a cage, so strong in the Labyrinth, that it would not escape. I could only find one more space, in the heart of my invention. During my research of the creation of Hephaestus, I was amazed that this girl named Pandora could have been created from the very heart of the Flame of Olympus. It almost seems impossible, yet... a miracle, if you might call it. I spoke with her several times while examining her. She seems kind and somehow, I don't know how to explain it, but... how could someone, or something like her, be a danger to Zeus' rule? It does not seem right to sacrifice one child to gain another. Yet, I would do anything to make Zeus fulfill his promise. Do not think less of me, Icarus. We have too much at risk. Let the Philosophers debate morals, while we inventors invent.'

Seeing how Pandora was treated like some kind of guinea pig, made Sylvia frown. "I hate it that she's still treated like a 'thing'."

Then, Alecto saw another schematics with a notebook entry, telling of Daedelus having found a new energy for the Labyrinth by combining the gift of Boreas with the Fires of Hades. "I got a feeling that we're soon gonna find what'll drive this power source of the Labyrinth."

Calliope agreed while using the ballista at the front gate. "I agree. Let's go."

After climbing the rope down and entering another hallway, they made it to Hera's gardens. Sylvia had such good memories about this place, as she and Pandora often sneaked into the gardens while they were young and sometimes would do when they became teenagers. Now, because of the endless rain, flies spreading the plague, the atmosphere around the Gardens didn't feel right.

On the floor, lied another servant. But he had already succumbed to the plague. Calliope sadly closed the man's eyes as they went on.

That was when they spotted someone, lying on the grass while drinking wine. It was Zeus' wife, Hera. Calliope and Alecto frowned at the Queen of Olympus, while Sylvia's hatred for that drunken whore increased.

As Hera drank the last drops of her wine from her chalice, she was frustrated that she hadn't more wine and threw it away. Then, Hera spotted Lady Death and her family.

"You!" The drunken Hera called, trying to get up.

"Hera." Calliope answered coldly.

Nearly tripping, Hera said with her drunken anger of how foolish her husband was. "I told him to kill him. I told him the day your father was born to kill him. But he would not have it. My stupid husband took pity on your father, Kratos. He even took pity on YOU when you killed him yourself and took his stupid bloodoath. And now look what you and your family have wrought!" Before she pointed at the flowers on the ground. "Look at this! Look at it! They're dying because of all of you! Everything is dying because of all of you! The sun is gone. The oceans swallow the land. Disease infects what remains." Sadly, Hera went to the ground, holding the flowers. "I'm doing all I can to keep them alive."

Sylvia crossed her arms as she called to her "Look at you. The great Queen of Olympus, weeping on the ground... like the drunken bitch that you really are."

Angry at that insult, Hera stood up and attempted to slap Sylvia, but she held her arm and punched Hera hard in the face and fell on the ground with a bleeding nose.

"You have no idea how long I've been waiting to do that, Hera. No idea!" Sylvia nearly yelled, as she and Pandora were so many times insulted by the Queen of the Gods.

While wiping away the blood from her nose, Hera chuckled.

"What's so funny?" Sylvia asked with disgust.

"I'm wondering... do you want to know what had happened to that slut of yours named Sophie? Or all those servants and soldiers that were loyal to your mother?" Hera asked as she stood up with an evil grin.

Sylvia was this close to marching on Hera, but was stopped by Alecto. "Where is Sophie? WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER!?" Sylvia demanded.

"What did you do, Hera!?" Calliope asked with a fierce tone.

Hera now laughed while holding onto a wall, preventing her from tripping. "I didn't... Hecate did. She cursed all of them... especially that Atlantean brat." Hera then snapped her fingers.

Sounds were then heard, screeching and yelling of a woman. Suddenly, a wall broke into several pieces, revealing a siren in armor, screeching at the three warriors!

While taking their weapons, Sylvia saw that the armor of the siren looked very familiar... but then saw it was wearing a silver necklace, with a golden pendant in the shape of a rose in blue and red. Sylvia gasped in horror as she realized who that siren really was as tears formed in her eyes! "No... SOPHIE!"

Both Calliope and Alecto too looked in shock, as their future daughter-in-law was changed into a monster.

Hera chuckled as she stated. "Now that's what you call a 'greek tragedy', huh? All the monsters that you and Alecto had slain, were all the people that supported you on Olympus." And as Hera walked away, she said while Siren Sophie was joined by many other undead soldiers and monsters. "Kill them." And walked away, into her gardens.

While Calliope and Alecto easily killed the other Sirens and undead soldiers, Sylvia was fighting with Siren Sophie. But she was proving to be quite the challenge, as she was easily avoiding Sylvia's punches and kicks. The warrior princess wasn't using her blades as she didn't want to kill her fiance and lover and was trying to get Sophie to listen to reason as she finally pinned Siren Sophie to the ground.

"Sophie! Sophie, baby, please listen to my voice! Fight it! You have to fight this! Please, baby, I can't live without you! I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you! Please, baby, come back to me! Please, think about the future we promised to have together: our marriage, and even our future child or children! Please, Sophie, baby, please come back to me!" Sylvia pleaded as she showed Siren Sophie the pendant that she'd given her, making Siren Sophie's eyes widen before the warrior princess drew her into a passionate kiss, tears falling down her eyes and onto her lover's face as she embraced her.

And no sooner than when the kiss was broken, Sophie's body began to change, her skin no longer grey, but changed back as she'd always been before she was cursed.

Both Calliope and Alecto looked with awe as their daughter seemed to have done the impossible.

Slowly, Sophie's eyes opened, seeing her fiance holding her. "Sylvia?"

The warrior princess began to cry out of joy as the woman she loved had come back to her as she held her close. "Oh, Sophie!"

Both looked into each other's eyes and passionately kissed. After a short while, Sophie broke the kiss as she began to cry. "Sylvia." She sobbed while trying to say "Syliva... I'm so sorry! I had... no control over what I was doing. Hecate had cursed me... me and... the others..."

Sylvia shook her head as she hugged her dear Sophie. "Don't blame yourself. It wasn't your fault. You're back... and that's all that matters."

As Sophie slowly stood up, Calliope and Alecto hugged Sophie too, as they were glad that she no longer was a monster.

But then, Alecto began to feel sad, now seeing why Zeus and the Gods had suddenly a massive army of undead soldiers and monsters. "We killed them, Calliope... All the monsters and soldiers that... were with Zeus were... they were people!"

Calliope nodded, as she too began to feel sad. "I know. I feel just as horrible as you are, baby." Before she then glanced at her future daughter-in-law and asked. "Is there no other way we can... cure the others from being monsters, like how Sophie had saved you?"

Sophie slowly shook her head. "I'm sorry, Calliope... I had killed Hecate before she'd changed me into a siren."

This was an answer that Lady Death had somehow expected, as Sophie was only an exception because she and her daughter were truly in love, while the same process couldn't be done for the other servants and soldiers who supported Calliope and in the rebellion against Zeus.

Sadly, Calliope sighed as she said. "Then there's nothing we can do for them... other than... freeing them from their suffering."

Alecto, Sylvia and Sophie nodded, as this was the only way for the servants and soldiers to be free from Hecate's curse. "I don't feel any pride in doing this, but if this is the only way, we'll do it, Mom." Sylvia said.

Calliope nodded before checking around. "Now we only need to find a way out of these gardens."

As Alecto joined too, Sylvia took the Red Fleece and gave it to Sophie. "Baby. Take this."

Sophie took it and asked. "Wow. What is it?"

"It's a Red Fleece. Hephaestus made it from the Omphalos stone, same as my Silver Fleece. Both are just as powerful as my mother's Golden Fleece. It's a small gift for our engagement from the Smith God." Sylvia answered.

Sophie put it on and nodded as she liked it. "It's great, Sylvia! And it suits my hair."

Sylvia chuckled as her lover's Fleece was nearly as red as her red hair. "It sure does, baby."

Sophie then noticed the Chalice that Hera threw away and took it. "Hmmm. Maybe this could be of use to us?" And attached it to her belt.

While looking around, Sylvia then noticed something in the wall and walked over to it. "Hey! I know how we can go further!" She said, surprising her mothers and her lover. Once Sylvia had pressed a stone, a door revealed itself.

"How did you know that there was a door here?" Alecto asked her daughter.

Sylvia then confessed while they entered the door, leading down Hera's Gardens "Pandora showed me these secret passageways years ago, when we first met and became friends."

Sophie was amazed as they went in further, seeing all kinds of secret tunnels, but still wondered and asked her fiance. "But, Sylvia, why had you never told me or showed me this before?"

Sylvia stopped and said in an apologizing way to both her lover and her mothers. "I'm sorry... I... promised Pandora years ago that I would never tell anyone about this."

Sophie and Sylvia's mothers understood before Alecto gave her daughter a hug. "It's okay, my little warrior princess. Me and your birth mother understand."

before Calliope nodded and too gave a hug to her daughter.

After a minute, they moved in further, letting Sylvia to guide them. "This way." Sylvia said, as they went through a tunnel on their right and entered a tunnel that went up, till there was a wall before them.

Sylvia pushed the wall a bit, opening it, revealing that they were in a different section of the gardens. Once they were out and the secret door closed behind them, Calliope asked her daughter. "Do you maybe know a way how we can reach the Caverns from this 'maze'?"

Sylvia thought for a moment, trying to remember what else Pandora had told her about Hera's Gardens. She then remembered and told them. "Hera's Chalice." Before she glanced for a moment at her lover, who held the Chalice. "The gem on that Chalice is our way to go further."

They then used the gem from the Chalice to reveal many places that even Sylvia and Pandora never knew about before. As they got through the maze, Sylvia crushed the Chalice as another insult to Hera while Calliope found and opened several chests around the maze. They also solved some puzzles along the way, creating pathways across the maze that only the gen could reveal and they also healed a few sick servants with their amulet while occasionally killing a monster that tried to stop them.

As they were about to move to the next area, Hera appeared, nearly tripping because of her being drunk. "You... stupid... bitches... How dare you challenge us?"

Calliope glanced at her daughter, who's anger increased. Calliope shook her head. With the little temper she'd left, Sylvia gave a nod and all were about to bypass Hera.

But the Queen of the Gods tried to stop them in their tracks. "You think you can just walk away?" Calliope and Alecto just walked past her, but the drunken Goddess then tried to grab Sylvia. "Don't you dare walk away from me! We aren't finished!"

Hera was about to slap Sylvia, but the warrior princess held her arm and yelled in Hera's face. "WELL, I'M DONE WITH YOU!" And threw Hera hard against a wall and fell on the ground

Now being beyond angry, Sylvia marched over to Hera and grabbed her and slammed her into the same wall again! "YOU FUCKING BITCH!" Sylvia yelled as she beat the crap out of Hera. "Why couldn't you just leave me and Pandora alone?! HUH!?" She yelled as she kept punching and kicking Hera.

Sophie, being terrified of what Sylvia was doing, tried to stop her fiance and lover. "Sylvia, stop it! That's enough! Sylvia!" As she grabbed Sylvia, who tried to get free to beat Hera again.

"I'll kill her! I'LL KILL HER!"

Sophie pleaded. "Sylvia, please, stop, baby!"

Alecto held Sophie too. "Sylvia, sweetheart! Stop!"

Sylvia panted as she tried to calm down. She then looked at Hera, having now many bruises and wounds over her face and body for being beaten up.

While Hera wiped away the blood from her mouth and nose, she saw that her little tiara was broken in half. "My tiara. Look what you've done to it." She said as she nearly wept, as the tiara was a gift from Zeus thousands of years ago.

Sophie looked into Sylvia's eyes, pleading with her lover to calm down before Sylvia sighed and gave a small nod as Sophie and Alecto slowly let go of Sylvia.

Though Calliope was glad that Sylvia had calmed down, she then looked down at Hera after walking over to her. "Honestly, you've got what you deserved, Hera. Go and weep in all your misery for all we care. We're done with you."

As Calliope and her family started to walk away, Hera then suddenly became angry and tried to get up after throwing her broken tiara away. "You... cowardly bitch! You, your lover and that brat of a daughter of yours destroy all you touch!" Before she then tripped and fell on the ground again. Calliope and the rest ignored her. But then, Hera chuckled as she called to them. "Good luck with finding that little whore you call Pandora!"

Sylvia's anger exploded as her eyes glowed red and her birthmark burned like fire. "GRRAAAAAAAAH!" As she grabbed her sword and pierced it right into Hera's throat, up her head, killing her instantly!

After Sylvia pulled her sword out of Hera's head and dropped her corpse, the grass field around them suddenly withered into grey and black. Around them, all the plants, trees, fruit and vegetables all withered within seconds, as Hera's death had now sent another plague into the world, meaning all plants, trees, fruit and vegetables would slowly die.

Sylvia looked down at Hera at first with pure hatred, but as she soon realized what she'd done, she was horrified and dropped on her knees, dropping her swords. She looked at her bloody hands. "Wha... what have I done? What have I done?"

Even though Calliope and Alecto were angry at Hera for calling Pandora a whore, they were shocked that their daughter had killed the former Queen of the Gods in pure rage.

Sylvia panted as she buried her hands in her head, the emotions that went through her mind were too much for her. "No... I didn't mean to... I didn't want to kill her... I just... Oh, Gods, no!"

Sophie slowly walked over to her fiance and sat on her knees, embracing Sylvia, letting her cry on her shoulder.

Calliope and Alecto both felt that Sylvia had already gone through so much her whole life. And now with this, both mothers understood their daughters' pain more than anyone. Both walked over to them and sat on their knees, hugging their daughter.

"Shhhh. It's okay, Sylvia. We understand..." Calliope softly said to her daughter.

After a few minutes of sobbing, Sylvia wipt away her tears after breaking the hug and stood up. "We should get going. The longer we wait... the longer Pandora suffers."

They all then continued to solve the pathways using the gem, even using Hera's dead body to solve the pathways through, much to Sylvia's amusement, as it was the final insult to the drunken whore. And after they eventually created the complete pathway out of the gardens, they took it, leaving the now dead garden behind before Sophie crushed the green gem so that it may never be used again before they crossed the large gap to get to the next gate.

While Calliope pushed the handle to open the gate, Sylvia noticed a familiar dead body between more dead corpses, all succumbed to the plague. As Sylvia pushed them aside, she checked the body she recognized.

"Sylvia?" Sophie asked her fiance.

Saddened, Sylvia shook her head as she looked at the dead man. "It's Fotis. He too didn't make it."

Sophie placed her hand on Sylvia's shoulder. "I'm sorry for you, baby." Before Sylvia nodded and both shared a hug, as remembering the beautiful times that Fotis was there for her and her parents and had always been faithful to them, made Sylvia give a few sobs.

After grieving for their servant and friend, they all moved into the Caverns after Calliope opened the entrance using the nearby crank. And as they moved through the Caverns, Sophie saw 2 familiar bodies, making her fear the worst before she ran up to them and looked at them closely, seeing that the bodies...were her parents, having succumbed to very fatal stab wounds.

"Mom. Dad. No." Sophie said as tears formed in her eyes before she saw a note in her father's hand, taking it before she read it. "My dear Sophie, I don't know if you're alright, but if this note finds its way to you, I wanted to share these words with you. You are the greatest treasure me and your mother could ever have. Though we were disappointed that you chose to be a warrior, like the Goddess of War, Calliope, we are so proud of you for what in the end you've become and what you've achieved. I do hope that one day we'll see each other again in the afterlife and that you find happiness together with your fiancé Sylvia and that you… will have many children in the future you will build together. Goodbye my daughter… we love you… always…and forever." Before she held it close to her heart as Sylvia, Calliope and Alecto touched her, offering her some comfort.

"Come on, baby. We can't stay here much longer." Sylvia said before Sophie nodded, put the note in her armor and gave Sylvia a passionate kiss, which she returned before Calliope and Alecto hugged their future daughter in law and they moved on.

As they moved further, several scorpions appeared but they easily killed them all before they got on an elevator that Calliope operated. When the elevator went down and stopped, they moved through the dark tunnels, using Helios' head to see until they came upon the giant cubes.

As they entered the gigantic place where the disassembled Labyrinth was located, both Sylvia and Sophie looked with amazement at the size of these cubes that would form the Labyrinth.

Inside a different cube, an old man, hanging in chains, was the architect of the Labyrinth, Daedalus. The old man was mumbling to himself. "The gift of Hades. The liquid fire. That is what is first. Next... next I will take the gift of Boreas. The Ice Storm. That will give me the power... the power to bring my son back to me."

After they got on the nearby cube, a few cyclops appeared. But due to their experience with fighting the 1 eyed monsters, they easily killed them all,with Sophie using her new red Fleece to full advantage to deflect their attacks, and Sylvia mentally promising in her mind that she'll save her best friend, who she sees as a sister.

Once the cyclops were all dead, the barriers around the cube dissolved and after Calliope opened 2 chests, they all went to the left entrance and Calliope used Helios' head to reveal another tunnel. After going through it, they got to a large room and Sophie went down to the floor before she pulled the lever on the left side, making the mechanism in the middle of the floor go down before the room filled up with water before she swam to the right and joined the others as they went through the next hallway and Calliope pulled the nearby lever, making the platform they were standing on go up to the next level before they went through another dark tunnels, using Helios' head to see while also killing a few Gorgons before Calliope found a few hidden chests and opened them. They then went to the next door and Sylvia opened it before they went through it, getting to another giant cube before Calliope opened a few more chests and they all jumped onto the cube.

But no sooner when they did, more scorpions appeared...with an even bigger 1 that had crystal armor on its legs and back. Alecto knew how to deal with this monster and while Sylvia and Sophie dealt with the little scorpions, Calliope got the bigger one's attention while Alecto used Hercules' Nemean Cestus to break its leg armor, weakening it so Calliope could use her blades to pull out its teeth before Alecto broke off the rest of its leg armor, allowing her daughter, future daughter-in-law and her lover to finish the giant monster, with Calliope delivering the final blow by pulling its rain through its head, making it turn into crystal!

Alecto then used Hercules' Nemean Cestus to shatter it and its tail before the source of its ice power appeared: the Boreas Icestorm, which Sophie took and used to operate the nearby heat switch, causing an updraft of high pressure air to rise up. Alecto flew Sophie up while Calliope flew up Sylvia before the Atlantean warrior operated the nearby heat switch, making the giant cube on the left side rise up to reveal hooks that Calliope used her blades to swing across while Alecto flew Sylvia and Sophie to another cube before Sophie used the Boreas Icestorm to operate the nearby heat switch, making the cube begin to move.

Suddenly, several Gorgons, Minotaurs and undead soldiers with crystal shields appeared. While Calliope dealt with the Minotaurs, Alecto used her Nemean Cestus to shatter the soldiers' shields before killing them while Sylvia and Sophie used their Fleeces to deflect the Gorgons stone gazing power before using their blades to kill them as the cube finally stopped.

Calliope then swung on the grappling hooks to get to the the cave nearby while Alecto flew Sylvia and Sophie before they all went through it, getting back to the room Sophie filled with water earlier and Sophie used the Boreas Icestorm to operate the heat switch on the ledge before they went up and went through the next tunnel.

Upon reaching where Daedalus was being kept, the old architect asked as he looked where he heard someone coming. "Who's there?" But he was suffering from near dementia though, as he saw Calliope and her family in the shadows, he thought he saw his long lost son Icarus. He began to smile as his hope had been restored. "My son! My beautiful Icarus?" Before he then looked at the others, who he didn't see well. "Huh... I... I see you have some friends with you as well. Ah... Good, good. You have the Ice Storm. Then... the scorpion must've been defeated. the Ice Storm, that is the secret of the Labyrinth... To escape it, we must assemble it! You must do it together with your allies, yes!" Daedalus then noticed that many cubes had already been moved into place. "Ah... good, you've already started. I've seen the cubes moving into place. Now, once inside, you must use the Gift of Boreas. It is the catalyst that drives the Labyrinth."

Calliope sighed, feeling that she should share Daedalus the truth of his son's demise. Slowly, she and her family stepped out of the shadows, shocking Daedalus "But... you're not... you're... You?! But then...?" The old man then frowned in anger, demanding to know. "What have you done with my child!? My boy! Where is my boy?!"

Saddened, Calliope answered the old architect. "I'm sorry, Daedalus. Your son... is dead."

Daedalus was beyond belief, hearing that his only son was dead. "My boy... my child... No. No. No!" As he then nearly yelled. "I took the gift of Hades - the liquid fire. And the Ice Storm to create the power of the Labyrinth! CREATE THE POWER!" But his yelling caused his voice to echo throughout the Caverns. Before he then became sad again and nearly sobbed. "He said... Zeus said that... if I built the Labyrinth for him I would... see the return of my son!"

Alecto shook her head as she told him. "Zeus lied to you, Daedalus. He's done that so many times and broke his promises over and over. We're... sorry for you."

Daedalus wept as he had done all this work, only to be backstabbed by the King of the Gods. "Oh, Icarus... my boy. Oh my child... No!"

While they moved forward, all four of them felt sorry for Daedalus for losing his son, Icarus. Calliope the most, as she was responsible for his death when she went in search for the Sisters of Fate.

While Calliope used the nearby line to get to the platform, Alecto flew Sylvia and Sophie up to the top of the cube above them while Calliope used her blades to follow them by swinging on the grappling hook.

"Wha-what are you all doing?!" Daedalus asked with fear before he realized what they were about to do. "No! No! Don't do it! Please!"

But his begging fell on deaf ears as the family got to the top of the cube and Sophie reluctantly activated the next heat switch with the Boreas Icestorm, making all the cubes begin to assemble but also killing Daedalus in the process as Calliope hung from the cube while Alecto held on to Sylvia and Sophie as she flew. And in minutes, the Labyrinth was fully assembled before a small door opened. The family then entered Daedalus' masterpiece before the doorway before it closed behind them.

And as the door closed, on an edge of a cliff, the Goddess of the Hunt, Artemis, had kept an eye on the Ghost of Sparta and her family from the moment they entered the Caverns. Evilly she smirked. "You are mine... my little preys." And on her back, a dark hooded figure held on to her. With her mighty Sphinx paws, she jumped high and landed on top of one of the cubes of the Labyrinth. A doorway opened as the hooded figure went off of Artemis' back. The Goddess glanced one last time at the necromancer before jumping away to another part. "You know what to do."

The hooded man gave a nod before Artemis jumped away to a different section of the Labyrinth. He entered the opening, waiting for the ones he wanted to kill while giving an evil smirk.

Calliope used the line to get to the platform and then used the grappling hooks to get to the top of the cube that had the next heat switch, Alecto flew Sylvia and Sophie before the Atlantean warriorused the Boreas Icestorm to operate the heat switch, making the cubes move into place.

After the cubes were assembled, a small entrance on the cube opened and the family went into it before it closed behind them as they entered the Labyrinth.

Sophie then used the Boreas Icestorm to operate the heat switch, making 2 statues come to life as a Cerberus appeared. While Alecto, Sylvia and Sophie got the statues' attention, Lady death forcefully controlled the 3 headed monster with her blades, making it breath fire on the statues until they were destroyed and Calliope cut the 1st and 3rd heads off before Alecto stabbed the middle head, killing the Cerberus as Sylvia and Sophie killed the baby Cerberus that appeared, making the gate that blocked their way to down.

They then moved forward and went through a doorway before Sophie operated another heat switch, making the cube flip and several traps in the room activate. Alecto then saw a lever on the upper level and flew up to it before pulling it, deactivating the traps and a doorway open before they went through it and crossed a bridge to another cube. Calliope looked around and figured out how to get through the room and pulled the small crate in front of the small upper floor before Sophie operated another heat switch that made the cube flip before Calliope moved the crate on the floor with the pressure pad. Sophie flipped the cube back before Sylvia pushed the crate on the pressure pad, making the cage above them open before Alecto helped Sylvia and Sophie up while Calliope used the Boots of Hermes to join her loved ones and they got to another room before Sophie operated another heat switch that activated the spike floors as several monsters appeared. The Ghost of Sparta and her loved ones used the spikes to their advantage as some of the monsters were unlucky to be on the floor parts the spikes came up on while they killed the rest with their weapons as the room flipped until the monsters were all dead and a doorway opened and they went through it.

When they reached the very core of the Labyrinth, they saw a big cage before them. Sylvia's eyes went wide as she saw Pandora, lying unconscious on the ground. "PANDORA!" She shouted as tried to open the cage, but it was locked with an onyx stone.

Alecto quickly grabbed her Nemean Cestus and broke the stone, allowing Sylvia to open the cage.

"Pandora!" Sylvia said before she ran over to Pandora, holding her in her arms, but was still unconscious. Sylvia nearly cried. "Pandora! Please, wake up! We're here."

Calliope and Alecto checked on her. "What has Zeus done to her?" Alecto asked worriedly.

But somehow, Calliope could see that it wasn't Zeus who did this, but that she was unconscious for using so much magic. "She... she used a lot of magic, causing her to faint. But why?"

Tears fell from Sylvia's eyes as she held Pandora close to her. "Oh, Pandora... please be alright. I... I can't lose you again. Not like this!" Before she began to sob. "I... I never got to tell you that... after all these years we've spent together, that... you're more than just my... best friend." She then spoke into her ear while giving small sobs. "You are... my sister... Though you're not my sister by blood... in my heart... you've always been a sister that I never had."

Sophie, Calliope and Alecto felt touched by what Sylvia said, telling how much Pandora meant to her, as she was a sister she never had. And to Calliope and Alecto... she was almost to them a daughter they too never had.

Pandora's hand started to move a bit. A soft voice came from her as she gave a small smile. "You too are my sister... Sylvia."

Surprised, Sylvia looked at Pandora, seeing her eyes opened. Sylvia smiled while tears of joy fell from her eyes. "Oh, Pandora!" Before both, now sisters by heart, embraced in a hug while both sobbed.

Calliope and Alecto too were happy to see her okay and well and too embraced Pandora. "We're so happy that you're alright." Calliope said.

Sylvia wiped away her tears as she said while sobbing. "I'm so sorry that It took so long, my sister... I thought for so long that you were dead."

Pandora smiled as she embraced her sister again. "I knew you would come and save me. I always knew you would." Then she looked at Sophie, who bent on her knee before her.

"Hello, Pandora. It's an honor to finally meet you." The red haired Atlantean warrior said.

"Who are you?" Pandora asked.

Sylvia smiled as she helped Pandora to stand up and said. "Pandora... this is Sophie." Sophie stood up and gave a nod while taking Sylvia's hand. "She's... She's my fiance..."

Pandora was surprised to hear that. "Your... fiance?"

Sylvia nodded. "Yeah... while you were captive... Sophie and I met and... we fell in love. Now... we want to marry each other and spend the rest of our days together." Sylvia shrugged while blushing. "I figured out that I'm into boys... and girls."

"Oh." Pandora said, still being surprised to hear that. But then she smiled brightly. "Oh, sister. I'm so happy for you!" Before she then hugged Sylvia and Sophie.

Though their moment was sweet, Calliope knew they couldn't stick around this place for too long. "C'mon. We must leave this place."

Pandora broke the hug with her sister and her future sister-in-law and nodded. "Come. I can show you guys the way."

While Calliope was about to open the door, Sylvia took something from her bag and handed it to Pandora. "Here. I think these are yours."

Pandora looked and saw that they were her daggers. She smiled at her sister after taking them.

"When I thought you were dead... I took them for safekeeping."

Pandora gave Sylvia a hug. "Thank you."

They all then approached the ledge and Calliope picked up Pandora and held her so she could get on the ledge before Lady Death and her family jumped on the ledge and they followed Pandora to a door. And when they entered, some Gorgons appeared but the Ghost of Sparta and her family were easily dealing with them while avoiding their stone gaze.

Pandora also slaughtered a gorgon and a few monsters as well while also using their stone gaze her advantage by turning some of the monsters to stone before they were shattered.

When they were all dead, Calliope, Alecto, their daughter, future daughter in law and Pandora went further and Alecto pushed the nearby switch forward, opening the cage that had a pressure pad that Pandora crawled through and triggered, making the wall come down to reveal another heat switch that Sophie activated... along with a trap as the room flipped and blades were slowly coming down on Pandora, who was using all her magic to slow the blades down while Alecto quickly flew up to the switch and used it to open the cage, allowing Pandora to get out of there before the blades finally came down, much to the others' relief.

After Calliope had opened a chest, Alecto checked the closed cage which held a ladder to bring them to the top. "How do we open this?"

Pandora saw an opening on top of the closed barrier. "There. I think I can get through it and try to open the barrier for you guys."

"You sure?" Alecto asked her niece.

Pandora nodded. "Yes. Daedalus told me lots of things about the Labyrinth when he was 'examine' me. I can do it."

Just before Alecto would help Pandora, Sylvia said. "Wait! I'm coming with you. I'm not gonna lose you again."

Sophie joined in. "Me too. I'll go too."

Calliope was unsure to let them go without them, but reminding herself that her daughter and niece were no longer children, she agreed to this. "Okay. But be careful, sweetheart." She told her daughter.

Sylvia assured her birth mother. "Don't worry, Mom. I will."

Alecto first helped Pandora to get through the opening, followed by Sylvia and Sophie. All three climbed up the ladder to the top. A big door was there, but it was locked. Pandora then noticed a small passage to their right. "Let's check in here." She suggested.

Sylvia and Sophie nodded and followed Pandora.

Down below, Calliope called to the three girls. "Do you see anything?!"

For a moment, no answer came, till Pandora called back. "Calliope? Alecto? I think we can open the cage from here, just give us a minute."

Pandora checked around more, till Sophie noticed some mechanisms to their left. "Hey, what about this?"

Pandora nodded. "Yes. This could be it. Help me with this."

While Pandora grabbed one mechanism and Sylvia and Sophie the other side, all three tried to push it in with all their strength. Suddenly, there was some rumble in the cube. "What was that?" Sylvia wondered.

Her sister and lover didn't know and kept trying to move the mechanism. After a few attempts, it clicked and made the cage open.

"Pandora? Sylvia? Whatever you guys did, the cage is open." Calliope called as she and Alecto went in and climbed up the ladder.

Just as the three girls were about to go back, a door suddenly shut at where they came from! "Ah!" Pandora said in shock.

Sylvia and Sophie tried to open it, but it was stuck. "Damm it! We're trapped!"

Calliope and Alecto had heard and tried to see where Sylvia, Sophie and Pandora were. "Where are you?! We don't see you!"

From a wall, Sylvia called. "We're in here. It must've been some trap."

Then Sophie saw something. "Hey, I think we can get out. We need to go this way. C'mon."

Seeing no other option, Sylvia and Pandora followed, with the girl calling out to Calliope and Alecto. "We're gonna try and find a way out. We'll meet up with you guys soon."

Both Calliope and Alecto were worried, but as their daughter and Pandora had gone on more dangerous missions in the past, they knew they could trust them with this. "Okay. We'll see you soon."

Suddenly, Pandora yelled as she fell into something! "AAAAAH!"

"PANDORA!" Sylvia yelled.

Shocked, Calliope and Alecto banged at the walls. "Pandora! Sylvia! What's going on down there?!"

"It's... It's Pandora! She fell into something-" But then, both Sylvia and Sophie yelled as they fell into something too. "AAAAAAAAAAAH!"

Calliope and Alecto feared the worst as the Ghost of Sparta banged on the walls. "NO! SYLVIA! PANDORA! SOPHIE! NOOOOO!"

With Pandora

The little sorceress fell into a large pipe, heading deep underground. Pandora tried with everything she had to stop, even using her daggers, but it didn't work! Then, she fell down into a cube, landing hard on the ground! Pandora grunted for a moment in pain while trying to stand up. It was dark in the cube, showing barely any light. Pandora was scared as she called back to where she fell from. "Sylvia! Sophie! CALLIOPE! Can you hear me?! CAN ANYBODY HEAR ME?!" Before the pipe then closed, showing no way out of the cube.

Pandora tried to search for a way out, but it was hard as she barely could see. Pandora then stopped and concentrated on using a shining spell and formed a bright little orb from her hands, giving more light into the big room. As Pandora looked around, she noticed a closed door, behind an elevator. "Ah. This could take me back up. But how to open it?" She thought out loud.

As it was quiet, she then heard several big paws outside of the cube. With one of her daggers in hand, Pandora looked up and around where those sounds came from. They came closer, like they were after her.

A familiar voice then sounded. "Well, well, well. Looks like the little bird got out of its cage." Before it then evilly chuckled. "That makes you another prey, you little thing."

Pandora recognized that voice. It was Artemis. Trying not to be afraid, Pandora called. "Get away, Artemis! I'm not afraid of you this time!"

"Hahahahaha! Really? Oh, Pandora... you should be." Artemis said in a softly voice, before saying very evilly. "You're mine."

Suddenly, an arrow was fired at Pandora, but the sorceress reacted quickly with a deflect spell and dodged the arrow in time! Just then, a huge part of the top of the cube was ripped open, letting out lots of light, revealing Artemis. The Sphinx-like Goddess jumped down into the cube, looking at her next prey with her large bow at hand. "I'm gonna present your head to my father on a silver platter!"

The fight between Pandora and Artemis turned out to be evenly matched, with Artemis not only firing arrows but using her bow as well as a sword to deflect Pandora's attacks However, Pandora was able to greatly hurt Artemis too, thanks to all the training she'd had under Sylvia and all the experience she had from their adventures, with Pandora using her daggers to block Artemis' arrows and her bow and eventually, Artemis lost all her arrows because of a flamethrower spell from Pandora. Then, after some fierce attacks from Artemis' clawed hands and clawed paws, Pandora layed nearly motionless on the floor.

Artemis looked down at Pandora, who tried to move. The Goddess evilly smirked as she grabbed Pandora up with her left hand, nearly strangling her. Pandora tried to grasp for air as Artemis moved her closer to her, telling with an evil smile. "Nice try, you little thing. But in the end, the hunter always gains her prey."

While trying hard to free herself from Artemis' grasp, Pandora then noticed that one of Artemis' arrows was still intact. Without letting her know what she was about to do, Pandora carefully lifted the arrow up with her magic, pointing it to the evil Goddess.

Artemis held Pandora even more tight and said while raising her clawed right hand. "Time to take my rightful price."

Then, Pandora pulled the arrow hard, hitting it right into Artemis' heart! Artemis gasped as she dropped Pandora, looking down at her chest in shock. Pandora quickly recovered and pulled her daggers back to her and jumped high, slashing Artemis' throat with both her daggers!

Artemis froze, not believing that she was defeated, but Hepheastus' creation.

Pandora then said with a grin on her face. "Looks like the hunter has become the hunted, bitch."

Artemis then fell on the ground, still in shock of being defeated like this. As the Goddess of the Hunt breathed her last, her body started to crack and shake, with a yellow-greenish light coming from the now deceased Artemis. And with a powerful burst, Artemis was gone.

Pandora panted as she nearly couldn't believe what she did. She had slain a Goddess, all her own. The little sorceress looked down at her daggers and slowly formed a smile as she looked back up the light coming from the ceiling of the cube. Deep down, Pandora was proud of herself for overcoming her fears.

The door with the elevator then opened, giving Pandora the chance to escape this death trap. When she entered the elevator, it moved up, taking her out of the cube where the evil Goddess of the Hunt met her end at the hands of the sorceress, Pandora.

With Sylvia and Sophie, some minutes before

Sylvia had climbed up to the cube's ceiling, desperately trying to reach the pipe from where she and her fiance fell from, but couldn't reach it. "Damm it! I can't make it!" Then as the pipe began to close, Sylvia jumped up to it. "NO!" And with all her strength she tried to keep it open.

Worried, Sophie called to her. "Sylvia, be careful."

As the barrier began to break because of Sylvia's strength, the warrior princess tried even harder to pull it open. But suddenly, some smoke appeared before her and saw Ares' face in front of her face smiling evilly to her!

Shocked, Sylvia let go of the barrier and fell down. "Aaaaah!" And as she hit the ground, Sylvia grunted in pain.

Sophie tried to help her. "Sylvia! Are you alright?"

Sylvia stood up and gave a nod. "Yeah... I'm okay." Before she then looks up the barrier, now locking the pipe they came from and looks with confusion. "I thought I..."

"You thought what, baby?"

Sylvia shook her head, dismissing the false illusion she witnessed. "Never mind. We need to find another way out of here."

Sophie agreed to her fiance and started to search around with Sylvia. After a few minutes of searching, a secret door suddenly opened before Sophie, surprising them both.

"Huh? Did you do that?" Sylvia asked.

Sophie gave a shrug. "I... I don't know."

But then, they heard a call for help coming through the secret doorway. "Sylvia...! Help...!" It sounded like Calliope!

"It's... It's mom!" Sylvia shockingly says as she runs into the doorway, followed by Sophie.

Around them, more voices are heard from either Calliope or Alecto. "Sylvia, where are you?!" Alecto's voice called.

"Mom? Moms! Where are you guys!?"

"Please... help me!" the voice of Calliope called.

They both went through one doorway to another, still hearing Calliope and Alecto's voices. "Calliope?! Alecto?!" Sophie called.

Then, as they ran into another cube, they saw a wounded Calliope holding herself to the doorway. "Sylvia... help me..."

Shocked, Sylvia walked over to her. "Mom! What happened?!"

Calliope grunted while trying to say. "Zeus... he..." As she then reached out her hand. "Please... help me..."

At that moment, Pandora reached the same cube as the elevator stopped and exited it. She then suddenly spotted Sylvia and Sophie, slowly walking over a wounded Calliope. Pandora was both glad and worried for Calliope. But then she noticed that Calliope was holding a black dagger. Pandora gasped as she could sense the dark magic from it and the person who pretended to be Calliope. She ran over to them. "Sylvia! Sophie! No! IT'S A TRAP!"

Confused, Sylvia looked at Pandora. "Huh? What?"

Suddenly, the false Calliope drew the black dagger and attempted to stab Sylvia, but was held back by Pandora's magic! As Pandora tried to pull the false Calliope away from them, she called. "Don't listen to her! That's not the real Calliope!"

Seeing that they were dealing with another monster, Sylvia and Sophie drew their blades and attacked the false Calliope, but then released a powerful dark power burst, sending both Sylvia and Sophie back, while Pandora held on. The false Calliope looked furious at Pandora, before morphing into a Centaur General and attacked Pandora!

Pandora tried her hardest to avoid the shapeshifters' attacks while Sylvia and Sophie aided her. The Shapeshifter changed into one monster to another, but the three warriors were able to defeat them all due to having plenty of experience with battling the monsters it changed into until they saw that its power was weakening.

The monster, feeling its power weakened, slowly morphed into his original form. He wore a dark hood and had zombie-like skin. With his yellow eyes, he glanced evilly to them. "Not bad at all, ladies. Not bad at all."

Sylvia and Pandora gasped as they recognized this new enemy, now with his new powers. Vasilios. "You!" Pandora called.

Sylvia's anger grew, as she'd never forgotten the man that had nearly raped her back at the Athens Festival in his home.

Sophie looked at Sylvia and asked. "That's him?"

Sylvia gave a nod to her lover before glancing back with anger at Vasilios. "Yes! He's the one that nearly raped me back in Athens."

The morphing necromancer, Vasilios laughed evilly. "Bwhahahahahaha! So good to see you again, beautiful flower. I dearly missed our moment together, Sylvia. We could have so much fun... and my friends. Hahahahahaha." Vasilios evily laughed, thinking of the possibility of him and his friends failed moment to rape Sylvia.

As her birthmark glowed like fire, Sylvia grind her teeth. "So now you're aiding that bastard, Zeus!?"

Vasilios floated up with an evil smirk. "You got that right. Now that your bitch mothers have slain many of the Olympian Gods, Lord Zeus is in need of new Gods for his new world. He wants me to be on one of the thrones of Olympus. Me! Out of all people!"

"You are no God, you bastard! You're a monster!" Pandora called in anger of how he'd treated her sister at her 16th birthday.

Vasilios gave a shrug as he lifted up many objects in the cube. "Perhaps now. But! Once I killed you, and your mothers, Zeus will reward me Godhood. So treasure this last moment you have. For here... you... will... all... die!" He finished with an evil smirk, as his dark magic made him summon lots of more monsters.

Despite that Vasilios had numbers on his side, the 3 warriors avoided some of the objects but got hit by a few as they fought and easily killed many of the monsters, especially the Gorgons, whos power was used against the rest of the creatures to turn them into stone before they were all shattered and Sylvia killed the Gorgons.

After slaying the last monster, Sylvia taunted Vasilios. "Ha! Is that all you got, Vasilios?"

The necromancer chuckled as he duplicated himself, forming two Vasilios' "Oh, this is only the tip of the iceberg of my powers, my dear flower." Both Vasilios' said simultaneously.

The two Vasilios' then morphed into two bigger opponents. Sylvia, Sophie and Pandora stood ready. But as the forms took shape, Sylvia was shocked as one took the form of the Fallen God of War, Ares! The other morphed into the Siren version of Sophie, screeching with a hellish sound!

Sophie trembled in fear, reminding herself of being like this, being a killer for the Gods and nearly having killed the women she loved.

Sylvia started to pant as she began to panic, seeing all the flashbacks from her traumatizing memories of Ares.

The two copies smirked evilly as they said in both Ares' and Siren Sophie's voice. "Now it's time to be consumed by your own fears!"

While Pandora stood ready to aid her sister and future sister-in-law, a small spirit from Vasilios suddenly appeared before her. "Oh, I haven't forgotten about you, little monster!" Suddenly, it formed a purple vortex around Pandora, taking her into somewhere else while she screamed!

"No! SYLVIAAAAAAA!" Pandora yelled before vanishing.

Horrified of what happened to Pandora, sent pure rage into Sophie and Sylvia and attacked the duplicates of Ares and Siren Sophie, being somewhat evenly matched and landing a few punches, kicks and slices on the duplicates of Ares and Siren Sophie, hurting them greatly while they got a few blows of their own against the 2 lovers.

Meanwhile with Pandora

Pandora woke up to find herself in another illusion, showing Pandora her sad childhood of being constantly bullied and humiliated by the other children of Olympus, being called many things by them and the others. Then she saw visions of her father, Hephaestus, being disappointed in her, while Calliope and Alecto called her names for all her actions. Lastly, Pandora saw Sylvia, turning her back on her. Pandora started to panic, but then realized that this was a sort of illusion that she'd been trained by Hecate to resist, Pandora tried to gather all her magic to break the illusion, making her eyes glow white and she eventually freed herself from the illusion in a powerful magical burst.

Back in the real world

Vasilios was shocked that Pandora had broken free of his grasp on her. "No! That's... impossible! There's no way you could have broken those illusions!"

Now with her new power, Pandora was now ready to aid Sophie and Sylvia to slaughter the fake Ares and fake Siren Sophie. "There's much you'll never understand about me, you heartless bastard! And now, you're about to see for yourself!" Before she, Sylvia and Sophie soon killed the fake Ares and fake Siren Sophie by working together and slicing them in half lengthwise!

They then advanced on Vasilios, who tried to fight them off but couldn't overpower their combined strength and was soon overwhelmed before Vasilios fell weakly on the ground and panted while coughing out black blood.

Sylvia, being beyond furious, marched up to Vasilios.

The weakened necromancer tried to crawl backwards, away from Sylvia. "No... stay back!" He then morphed into Calliope, begging Sylvia as he stood up. "Sylvia, please! This isn't who you are!"

But Sylvia didn't fall for it and hit Vasilios hard against a wall!

Vasilios then morphed into Alecto. "Sweetheart, please stop! I am your mother. Stop!"

Again Sylvia didn't listen and threw Vasilios down into the ground. It tried to morph into other persons, but being weakened, he was unable to take any form. He then begged for mercy. "Please... daughter of the Ghost of Sparta... I ask you for mercy!"

Sylvia didn't listen and held Vasilios tight by the throat. She looked at him fiercely. "You've got some nerve, Vasilios! Would you have shown any kindness or mercy?! Time for you to die, you bastard!" Before she then grabbed her blade and stabbed Vasilios straight into his heart. As his newly gained life started to slip away from Vasilios, Sylvia moved him closer as she said. "And this time... stay dead."

Vasilios gave one last couch before he gave a small smirk and stabbed Sylvia with his black dagger into her throat!

Sylvia gasped as she dropped Vasilios, who gave his last breath and died while smirking. She looked at the black dagger, now stuck in her throat. When she removed it, she shockingly saw that some black fluid was flowing from the wound, throughout her body. Sylvia began to cough as she fell on her knees.

Sophie and Pandora looked in shock and ran over to her. "SYLVIA!"

Sophie held her in her arms. "Sylvia!" Before she glanced at Pandora in panic. "What's wrong with her?!"

Pandora took a quick look at the dagger that the now dead Vasilios stabbed Sylvia with and then back at Sylvia, who's nose began to bleed and her body began to shake. "By the Gods. She's being poisoned with dark magic!"

Sophie began to panic even more. Was Sylvia going to die?

Pandora removed some of Sylvia's armor to check the wound, which was now coloring grey and black as the fluid kept going through Sylvia's veins.

Sophie's eyes began to tear up as she looked at Sylvia, who now was sad as she kept coughing, thinking that this is their last moment together. "Sophie..."

"Just... just hang on, my love! Pandora can help you!" Sophie began to cry as she then asked Pandora. "You can help her, right?!"

Pandora however was not sure, and shook her head in both sadness, not knowing what to do. "I... I-I-I don't know how… I have never done something like this before."

As tears fell from her eyes, Sophie begs Pandora "Please, Pandora. She's dying."

Pandora glanced at Sylvia, seeing her condition worsen. Pandora gave a nod as she placed both her hands on the wound. She closed her eyes and deeply inhaled, before breathing out. Pandora then chanted something in an ancient language that neither Sylvia or Sophie understood as It took Pandora all her strength to heal the poisoned wound.

Sylvia couched less, but her condition didn't get any better.

Pandora could feel she was dying. With her eyes closed tight as tears fell from her cheeks, Pandora chanted with all her might, making a light glow from her hands, a light that was near as bright as the Flame of Olympus. Pandora gasped as her eyes opened wide and glowed with a bright white light before the wound healed and the poison left Sylvia's body.

As the light went away and Pandora's eyes went back to normal, Sylvia gasped as she panted, but slowly calmed down. She was healed from the curse.

Sophie was so grateful for Pandora saving Sylvia's life that she instantly hugged her. "Oh, Pandora! You did it. You saved her. Thank you so much." Sophie softly said.

Pandora felt dizzy but gave a nod and returned the hug before both then helped Sylvia on her feet. Both sisters shared a hug for a long time, till they glanced at Vasilios' body for a moment before walking away through a gate that just opened.

The three female warriors were then stuck in one of the cubes in the Labyrinth, having to solve a puzzle in order to move on: solving a riddle. And if they answered wrong, a horde of monsters would appear, and would make more monsters the more they answered wrong.

The Riddle was: 'What loses its head at day and gains it back at night?' And when they answered wrong twice, hordes of monsters appeared and they used all their strength and willpower to fight them off and kill them, getting a bit injured in the process before the monsters were all dead.

When they were all dead, Pandora finally got the answer to the riddle after they took their time to solve the riddle and all 3 girls shouted out the answer: a pillow!

After the riddle was solved, a door opened and the three moved up to an elevator, bringing them to the cube where Calliope and Alecto are. And as they stepped into the elevator, Pandora shared with her sister and future sister-in-law about her fight with Artemis, which amazed them greatly.

Meanwhile with Calliope and Alecto

The two lovers fought many monsters and solved some puzzles while searching for Pandora, Sylvia and Sophie. "Fuck. These damn things are everywhere!" Calliope said with frustration.

"I know, baby. But we're not going to give up! Our girls need us and we still have to get our revenge! And nothing will stop us! Not these monsters, puzzles and especially not Zeus!" Alecto said with determination to keep fighting on.

When Calliope ripped off the head of the last gorgon, some mechanisms began to move, making a door open as an elevator stopped. Calliope and Alecto stood ready to face whatever this Labyrinth would throw at them. But then, they were surprised and happy to see that it was Sylvia, Sophie and Pandora stepping out of the elevator.

"Sylvia! Sophie! Pandora!" Calliope and Alecto called as they ran up to them and hugged them.

"Moms!" Sylvia said happily as she and her fiance and sister hugged Calliope and Alecto.

Calliope then looked at the three girls, being a bit shocked at how they looked. "By the Gods, all three of you look terrible."

Sylvia just shrugged as she wiped away some dirt and blood. "It's nothing. Just fought through a herd of monsters."

"And fought Artemis." Pandora added.

Alecto and Calliope were nearly shocked when they heard that they encountered the Goddess of the Hunt. "You... fought Artemis?" Calliope asked.

Sophie shook her head. "Me and Sylvia didn't. But Pandora did, and finished her off. That's what she told us."

Alecto and her lover were both surprised to hear that. Alecto walked up to Pandora. "You killed her? All by yourself?"

Pandora gave a nod. "Yeah." Before she then sighed. "I'd never fought that hard before in my whole life. If... it wasn't for all you guys training and all the adventures... I would've been dead by then."

Alecto embraced her niece. "Oh, Pandora. I'm so proud of you. I'm just glad you're okay." Before Pandora nodded as she returned the hug to her aunt.

As Calliope took out the head of Helios, serving as a lantern, Lady Death advised everyone. "We should go." Before all nodded and followed Calliope over the bridge, leading to the cube where Daedalus was being kept.

Along the way, Calliope felt that Pandora deserved to know the truth of why she was really created. "Pandora... listen to me. When me and... Alecto spoke with your father... about why you were created in the first place, he said that..."

Pandora assured Calliope. "I know what you're going to say, Calliope. I know why my father created me... but I'm not afraid of that. I understand what lies ahead."

They stopped for a moment, with Calliope telling her softly. "We'll find another way, Pandora. We're not gonna let you sacrifice yourself just so we can gain the Box of Chaos."

Sylvia was confused and shocked that her mother just said. "Sacrifice... Pandora?! Mom, what do you mean?"

Pandora placed her hands on Sylvia's shoulders and told. "Sylvia... sister... I know this is hard for you to understand, but… my father created me to serve as a key to destroy the Flame of Olympus. That was my true purpose... why I exist."

It didn't take long for Sylvia to understand, and neither for Sophie. Tears started to form in Sylvia's eyes. "No... no, Pandora you can't do that!"

Pandora placed her hands on Sylvia's cheeks. "Sylvia, It's alright-"

"No! You're not some goddamn thing to be used to destroy something! You're my best friend! My companion when we go on adventures! A beautiful woman who fell in love with that young man, Epimetheus! You are... the sister I never had!"

Some tears formed in Pandora's eyes too, but she ensured as she shook her head. "I know I am. And I am always grateful for the things you've taught me and the moments we shared together. But if we must save the world from Zeus... this is the only way."

Sophie now joined in and shook her head. "Pandora... don't. Sylvia has gone through more than enough of losing you... Calliope and Alecto too."

Alecto hugged Pandora, telling her. "You're my little niece, Pandora. Nearly a daughter I never had. We will find another way."

Calliope nodded and hugged Pandora too. "Don't think that you're an object Pandora. You're a strong and independent woman now. You are strong enough to make your own decisions."

Though Pandora was truly touched by having such loving friends, nearly a family, Pandora knew in her heart what she had to do. But to not extend this conversation for too long, Pandora... lied by saying while giving a nod. "Okay. We'll try and find another way to claim the Box." Before Sylvia gave Pandora one last hug before they moved on. But behind her back, Pandora crossed her fingers while mentally stating. 'I'm so sorry... but I have to do this... I love you... Calliope... Alecto... Sylvia... and you too, Sophie, even though we've just met.'

To keep their minds on something else, Pandora started to tell of how horrible she felt after Zeus tortured Hephaestus. "You know... when I saw Zeus torture my father... I... I knew he was beaten because of me. Even when Aphrodite tried to rescue me... she was tortured too by Zeus. I should've helped them but I was afraid."

Sylvia placed her arm around Pandora's shoulders, while Calliope softly said. "Hephaestus did what every parent should do. Protect his child. And even Aphrodite... despite being mean to you in the past... she wanted to protect you too."

Pandora shook her head. "No. It's all my fault. I failed my father... failed Aphrodite because of fear. The same fear that nearly became my death when fighting Artemis. Fear is it's own kind of darkness." Before she then remembered all the horrible flashbacks she saw when being manipulated by Vasilios' illusions. "In that darkness I heard what the Gods... and the other people said about me. They called me a thing... a monster."

Sylvia rubbed Pandora's back as they moved on. "Don't let it get into you, sister. In the end, words mean nothing."

Sophie nodded. "Yeah, no matter how much people call you names, you're more than that."

Pandora gave a nod while telling what she truly heard in those words they said to her over the years. "Perhaps. But in their words I heard fear. The fear of an Ash-covered warrior and her daughter. The fear of you." Before she glanced at Calliope, then at Sylvia. "And of you."

Pandora then began to form a small smile, rethinking the moment after she'd slain Artemis. "As the fear of the Gods rose... and mine as well... I began to feel something that was stronger than that. My fear... was replaced by hope."

Just as Calliope checked the gate to open it, Calliope began to sigh deeply as she looked down before glancing at Pandora. "You know... I was just like that... long before my father Kratos made that damn blood oath to Ares. I too believed that everything would work out in the end. My father would return to us and all would be joyful. But... my father always taught me that hope is something only for the weak, a false promise as the world is nothing but death and suffering." A sad sigh came from Calliope as she looked up. "After all that I'd been through... after all I've suffered... I began to realize... that my father was right all along. Hope... is only for the weak."

Pandora then grabbed Calliope's shoulder and faced her, saying. "Hope is what makes us strong. It is why we are here. It is what we fight with when all else is lost."

Alecto agreed with Pandora and placed her hand on Calliope's shoulder, rubbing it.

Calliope sighed as she opened the gate, showing them all the now dead Daedalus, having succumbed to his wounds after the Labyrinth was put together. "Do you see this?" Calliope asked both Pandora and her daughter. "THIS is all that hope delivers. You should learn that by now after all you and Sylvia have been through."

Not wanting to make this into an argument, they all stepped into the elevator, bringing them down into the cube down from Daedelus' hanging body.
