Chapter 430 War of the Gods

I don't own Bleach or any of the powers and gear used in this story.

Alex was going through a tunel before he arrives at a forge of some kind with a giant there crying.

"Leave me be, I tell you... I payed the price."He said.

"I didn't come here to do you harm."Alex said.

The man then turns to see he has brown hair and a beard, the right side of his face was deformed with a white eye.

"Well this is surprising, I wasn't expecting visitors."He said.

"I am a traveler, tell me is this Olympus?"Alex asked.

He got surprised and said:"Yes it is, how could you not know? This is the forge of Olympus, I am Hephaestus."

"I have arrived here by chance."Alex said.

"Well it seems you better move since it might not last long."The place starts to shake.

"What happened to make this battle happen?"Alex asked.

Hephaestus then told them the story."Before all this started, I was once the most prized craftsman in all of Olympus. Zeus, the ruler of the gods, rewarded me with my marriage to the beautiful Aphrodite, goddess of beauty and love, my mother, Hera, bragged of my talent but one day, it all came crashing down."

Alex got worried.

"It all started with a Spartan named Kratos. A bastard child of Zeus, he fought in many battles but there wa sone he couldn't win. In desperation, he called out to the god of war Ares, pledging his services to him in return for the power to defeat his adversary, Ares agreed and gave him the power in return for his oath. Ares eventually betrayed Kratos by tricking him into killing his own family but that proved to be a mistake, Kratos killed the Furies, releasing him from his oath to Ares, with the help of Athena, goddess of wisdom, he opened Pandora's Box and used its power to kill Ares, while he had wanted peace, he was forced to be the new god of war which did not sit well with many, It was also that day Zeus became the fiend he is now."He said.

"Pandora's box, what's inside it?"Alex said.

Hephaestus sigh and continued. "Long ago there was a great battle for dominance between the Gods and Titans. While the gods won and banished the titans to Tartarus, the evils from that Great War, fear, greed, and hate, needed to be contained, so Zeus commissioned me to build the box. The box was forged in a power greater than the gods or titans, the Flame of Olympus, a flame that no being could touch without being destroyed. After forging it I realized the safest place for the box was in the Flame itself. However, every lock must have a key, created from the very heart of the Flame, the key took on a life of its own, Pandora, a child, a being neither living nor dead."

Alex felt bad for the girl and felt the worse for her safety

"I came to love her as a daughter and she loved me as her father. When Zeus came to take the box, I hid her away. I told him the safest place would be on the back of Cronos the Titan, who had been condemned to wander the Desert of Lost Souls, for who could best a titan? but Kratos was able tos succeed, Zeus tortured me and forced me tell him about Pandora, then he took her away from, so many tries I tried to recreate her only to fail."he then shows them the statues in the ceiling."without the flame it's impossible."

Alex feels bad for him since he's a father too."Hephaestus I may be able to help."That made him curious.

"Really?"He said.

"Yes, I understand your pain for being a father too."Alex said.

"Your a father, how old is your child?"Hephaestus asked.

"She's three."Alex said.

"So young, are you doing this because we're both fathers?"Hephaestus said.

"I don't ask for anything, i'll rescue your daughter and take her away from this madness."Alex said.

"Very well, but can I see that sword you have."Hephaestus looks at Dragonslayer that was on his back.

Alex shows him the sword and Hephaestus checks it.

"Impressive, it's able to harm even spirits, I might make a weapon to use it with."He returns it back to Alex."Save my daughter and I'll craft you a new weapon."

"Thank you."Alex goes to another exit to find Pandora.

With Draco's group

The group was at a house they were given to look after Trish and now Bruno asked Narancia to go buy some stuff as Fugo and Narancia where at the door as Fugo was explaining to him what to do as Narancia has the list of things while Giorno, Abbacchio, Kazuo, his friends and Draco were waiting at the stairs watching them.

"Narancia, listen carefully that's a list of food and other things you need to buy."Fugo said then he presented the car keys"these are the keys to the car, you can do this Narancia, I know you can pull it off"

Naranica nods and said:"Okay."

"Listen carefully , no one knows anyone is at this hideout, not even the people at the winery in the vineyard out front."Fugo tells him to pay attention"Once you're done shopping, try going in circles on the same path over and over again, also try U turning every once in a while, check to see if anyone is following you, then come home after switching over to the other car that I arranged just in case in one of the citys's parking lots, no one else knows that we're guarding the boss's daughter, but if someone's looking for us, the last thing we want them to do is follow us but if someone's looking for us, the last thing we want them to do is follow us."

"Do you understand, someone needs to go shopping, it's very important, but we have to make absolutely sure no one finds out the this hideout."Fugo said.

"Jeez I get it already, leave it to me."Narancia said confident about it.

"Okay, now repeat all the steps I just explained to you from the beginning."Fugo said.

"Huh, once I'm done shopping I drive around in circles in the vineyard out there."Narancia said then Fugo jabbed him with the car keys hurting him.

"Wrong! Quit messing around! Again, from the beginning."Fugo said angry at him.

"Um, Drive around so I don't get dizzy."Narncia was then jabbed again."Urgh what the hell is your problem?!"

"It's not that hard just after shopping just go in circles on the same path, then try U turning while checking if anyone is following you and then switch cars with the one Fugo picked."Kazuo said.

"Well good job Kazuo, Narancia your dumber than a 12 year old."Fugo said.

"Hey!"Narancia said.

"Even so Bruno asked Narancia because his stand ability should tell him if anyone if following him."Abbacchio said.

Narancia grins and takes the keys and said:"So basically, that means I just need to make sure I'm not being followed back here right, by anyone who follows me."

"Wait."Draco said stopping him."Take Mangle and Foxy."The two came up from behind him.

"Those two?"Narancia said.

"Are you sure about that?"Fugo asked.

"Narancia is going to need some extra help in case of a battle, they're stands are able to subdue a enemy."Draco said.

"Hmmm, I see your point."Fugo said.

"Okay, let's go kids."Narancia said.

"I'm the captain."Foxy goes down with Mangle following him.

Abbacchio looks at Draco."What's the point of those two?"

"They're good, believe me."Draco said.

Note:Alex is in God of War, now he's trying to find Pandora while Draco sent Foxy and Mangle to help Narancia.
