"I can't believe I'm bringing you back here…"

"A bet is a bet. Ya lost, and you're a prince of whatever. So you're honor bound."

"No amount of honor is worth indulging you."

Astro couldn't believe he was bringing Basteta back here. Gigantea was one of his favorite places in mewni. Even before it was revealed who his father was, it was one of the places he'd always been welcomed to with open arms. So bringing Basteta here felt like bringing a virus to sacred ground.

But after losing to her in that stupid Dance Dance Revoltion game, she insisted that he bring her back to she could get more giantslayer. There was a not so small part of him that was tempted to ditch her here and now, and let her fend for herself. Gitantea was known for the giants, as well as their equally large predators. If he was lucky some local creature would eat her and he'd finally be rid of her.

"Don't be such a sore ass loser. Should have known better than to try and outdance me," Basteta said smirking. He might have held onto his title in that little guitar game of his, but she was the champ when it came to dance games.

Astro grunted in response, but then stopped. Basteta looked at him confused. "Great, he sensed you," the prince muttered looking up.

Basteta was about to ask what he was talking about, but then felt a ringing in her head. She winced and then looked up to see a large figure flying down towards them. Typhon loomed over the two, though his eyes were locked onto Besteta. "Asterossa. That's an earth deity standing next to you. Care to explain?" he asked.

"This is Basteta. She's an annoying furball from earth. She's nothing to be concerned about," Astro said bluntly.

"Fuck you too prince asshole," Basteta said crossing her arms. "So who's the big man? Don't tell me that you're the big bad daddy you mentioned."

Typhon hummed as he stepped forward, then sniffed. "You… are a Titan. And yet you also have the stench of a deity on you. How odd." He thought the Titans on Earth died out years ago. And if he was right about her having the blood of a deity… a spawn of a Titan and a God was unheard of.

Basteta smiled. It was interesting meeting the so-called 'Father of Monsters'. She thought she remembered her grandmother saying something about him in her lessons, but she hadn't really been paying attention. "Yeah, my family is from a long line of monsters. Names Basteta. Ever heard of the Ptolemy?" she asked.

He rubbed his chin. "Oh, so you're the one Asterossa tussled with in the Underworld. And part of the Ptolemy family. That explains why I feel divine energy coming off of you. You have Sekhmet's power in you," he said.

Basteta tilted her head. "You… you can tell that?" Nobody back home had ever been able to tell what she was at a glance. Let alone smell it or feel it. Then again she got kind of an odd feeling when she met Astro, so maybe it was just a Titan class thing.

"Oh, I would recognize any of the Egyptian deity's energy. We were… well, friends might be a bit of a stretch. They were one of the few pantheons of gods who didn't want to kill me," he explained. "And believe me, with how few and far they were in between I made it a point to remember names and faces."

Astro looked skeptical. "You know I can't quite help but think that if that many of them wanted to kill you, that maybe part of the blame lied with you," he accused.

Typhon smiled. "Oh, all of it was. I caused quite a bit of chaos in my younger days. Toppling quite a few kingdoms, stirring up the mortals into rebellions against them, I even may or may not have slept with a few people that put me on their crosshairs," he said looking up fondly. "And Sekhmet and I in particular were very close…"

Astro scowled. "For fuck's sake…" he muttered. "Tell me you didn't."

"Look son, I had a very long history of women before I met your mother. You shouldn't be surprised that one or two gods were on the list."

Basteta laughed. "Ha! Past me fucked your dad! Hahahaha!" she teased.

"No you didn't! Sekhmet did!" Astro glared towards her.

"She's sealed in ME! She's a part of ME! We literally share a body, so we're technically the same person or some shit! Which means a part of me did in fact fuck ya daddy! So was I a good lay? Who the hell am I kidding? Of course I was!"

Astro shook his head. "Honestly, of all the people you could have stuck your dick inside of, you pick the one goddess inside of her? Did you have no standards man?" he asked. "I mean look at her! C'mon! Really?!"

"Fuck off! Sekhmet and I are fucking fine ass lays, ya cactus reject!"

Typhon shrugged. "Look, I don't know anything about this one. But if you had seen the Sekhmet I knew, you would have more than understood. She was quite a looker, and quite ravenous in the bedroom. Not as much as Echidna or your mother, but hardly anyone is. She used to do this thing-"

"Ah!" Astro held his hands up. "No! Stop! Stop right there! I don't know who was about to do what in that story, and I don't want to know! Just shut up and let me try to repress everything I've learned today by drowning myself in barrels of Giantslayer."

"You and I both know that won't work for us son."

"I'm not afraid to die trying!"

Basteta leaned forward Astro. "Don't be so surprised Astro. I mean how the hell do you think he was supposed to resist all of this?" she asked gesturing towards herself "Ya know, if things had worked out different or I'd been born a few years back, I might have ended up being your mama or-"

Astro suddenly punched forward, nailing her right in the face and sending her flying back. The prince cracked his knuckles as his father clicked his tongue. "I see you two get along well," he said. Basteta got up looking furious, and they could feel her magic swirling around her. "She looks mad."

"Worth it," Astro said, watching as she charged at him.

He charged right back, and the two clashed. Both of them slid back, and Basteta quickly blasted at him. Astro countered with a blast of his own from his horns. When the attacks collided, there was smoke kicked up into the air. Basteta kept her guards up, and then quickly jumped out of the way as a wave of ice suddenly shot out towards her.

She landed down on the ground and rushed towards him again. This time Astro planted his feet and braced himself. Basteta growled and lunged at him, and Astro moved to the side. Her claw managed to graze his cheek, and she grit his teeth before reaching out and grabbing her by the ankle.

He swung her around before slamming her into the ground, and then smiled as he got ready to blast her. Before he could, Basteta kicked out and knocked one of his feet from under him. She kicked out again, hitting him in the chess ad knocking him onto his back. She quickly leapt up and dived down to bite him, but he opened his mouth and then shot out a blast of fire.

She raised her arms and quickly stepped back, wiping the small flames and smoke off of her. "You dick! I always knew you had hot ass breath!" she shouted.

Astro got up and wiped his mouth. "Be glad I didn't burn you to ashes, you damn furball," he said. "And with that pathetic excuse for a kick, I'm wondering how the hell I lost to you. You have toothpicks for legs."

"Oh no you fucking didn't! I'm gonna shove my foot so far up your ass you're gonna taste my toenail polish!" she yelled back angrily.

Typhon watched as the two continued tearing into one another. It was good to see that there were still a few titans lurking around on Earth. Maybe they would strike some fear into the gods. And if nothing else, they would keep Astro on his toes.

"Oh, is there a fight going on?!" The king looked over his shoulder and saw Antero approaching, along with a few others. "Ha! Why did no one tell me there was a bout planned for today!"

"Hey, isn't that the beastkin girl that got into a drinking contest with Fi last time?" Fee asked curiously. They wouldn't forget someone who could go toe to toe with the biggest drinker in the tribe.

"Yep, that's her," Fi said nodding.

Nalfi looked interested. "Wow, she's actually going at it with Astro. Not bad."

"Now this is a show! Fo, run and go fetch some drinks so we can properly enjoy this!"

"Huh?! Why do I have to go! I don't want to miss it!"

"I'll do it."

"You'll drink it all before you get back!"

"Probably…"

Basteta sighed as she finished another barrel of alcohol. There was nothing like a good drink to go with a good fight. Astro, Typhon, and the rest of the giants sat around enjoying their own drinks. "Ah, good ass drink, mostly good ass company. What a day," she said, raising her mug. "Ain't that right big boy?" she asked, winking towards Fo.

He nodded back. "Oh yeah! By the way, that was some pretty good fighting back there."

She smirked. "Yeah? Well maybe later me and you can go a few rounds and I can show you a thing or two," she said, licking her lips.

Fo blushed and chuckled nervously. "Ha… a-are you serious?" Girls didn't usually flirt towards him. It was the other way around typically.

Typhon smirked. "Hmm, you really do have her in you. She liked to wash down a drink with a good fight too. And after a good lay. You know she used to have an harem of her own, and we would-"

"Shut up!" Astro yelled, hitting up upside the head with his mug.
