Atlas and Calypso had Thalia trapped, bound, gagged and stripped naked. They knew that the only way to bait Marik was to harm the ones that he considered family, the ones he loved. So that's exactly what Atlas was going to do. He would bind Marik and force him to watch as Thalia was raped over and over again. Then Thalia would be killed by Calypso if he would not tell them how to escape the island. As Marik charged in, he was lifted off the ground by aurae and slammed up against the wall. Calypso walked over to Marik and as he struggled, slapped him. He went to hit back but the aurae kept him trapped. "You wouldn't hit a lady would you", chided Calypso. Marik, being the smart-ass he is, responded with "I kicked Aphrodite's ass, what's to stop me from kicking yours?". For a brief moment, Calypso looked scared, she lost her focus on controlling the aurae and they flew away. Before Calypso could re-focus, she recieved a sharp right hand, Courtesy of Marik. She would not enjoy her little nap. Marik stood to face the titan Atlas. Atlas laughed and, before he could defend himself, Marik punched him in the throat. "Okay, little mortal. If you want to fight, we can.", growled the titan. Atlas grew to his true size, a fourty foot tall monster. Marik transformed into a being of pure energy. Then the forces clashed over the fate of Thalia. As they fought, Atlas started smoking because of the hits he had taken. 'It's like geting punched in the face by the sun', He thought. Finally, Marik flared, killing Calypso and knocking Atlas unconscious. Marik then climbed on top of Atlas and kept punching him until he stoped disolving. Marik had made the legendary titan Atlas fade. He would never return.
Marik absorbed the energy so he would not hurt Thalia when he touched her. He ran over to her and broke the chains that held her. He held her as she cried. and he only got madder. Zeus opened a portal for him to take Thalia through. When Zeus reached for Thalia, Marik snarled and stood with her in his arms. He walked her to mount Olympus, where he sat her on Artemis' throne. He took his shirt off and put it on Thalia and then stood guard. Marik snarled as he realized Aphrodite was staring at him. She was literally drooling. He told her to fuck off, she told him she'd rather fuck on. He just rolled his eyes. Eventually, Zeus got up the guts to try to move Thalia, but Marik gave the god a black eye. Zeus cursed. "Why are you protecting her, Marik.", he asked quizically. "Weither we are related by blood or not, Thalia is my sister.". "Move Marik", Zeus demanded. Marik locked eyes with Hephaestus. "NO MARIK", Hephaestus screamed. But it was too late. Marik pulled a .45 out of his pocked and aimed it at Zeus. The lord of the gods laughed. "What do you intend to do with that mortal, those bullets wont affect me". Marik pulled the trigger. A Stygian Iron bullet left the barrell and penetrated Zeus' stomach. The lord of the gods doubled over, vomiting golden ichor. The other olympians watched in awe. Marik pulled the hammer back, ready for another shot. Zeus didn't rise again, so Marik picked Thalia up and took her to Artemis.
Hephaestus soon found Marik, that conversation consisted of a few "fuck off"s, "i dont give a damn"s, and "peice of shit"s. Marik finally had enough, so he decided the best thing to do was to punch Hephaestus in the face. Before he did, Hephaestus brandished his own .45, only for him and Marik to catch an arrow in the legs, courtesy of Artemis. As Hephaestus cursed and writhed, Marik looked at the arrow protruding from his leg. His face grew into a smile, as he laughed, Artemis looked puzzled. He pulled the arrow out of his leg and hugged Artemis. "Thank you for shooting some sense into me" he said. "Now where's Thalia". With that, he went to see his sister.
