"Talking!"

'Thinking!'

"Demon!"

End of the Sun and Beginning of Flesh

Pain. That is what the First Born has been experiencing since he was defeated for the second time since he was born. The first being when Zeus defeated him so soundly. But this time he was defeated by the Amazon and that Assassin. The Amazon used her godly powers to easily overwhelm him, but the one that gave him the fun fighting was the Assassin. The Assassin fought and fought using everything he had and then some. A warrior fighting a warrior to the death; a warrior's death. Soon when the First Born escapes will have his revenge against the Amazon, and give the Assassin a warrior's death.

"I imagine that groan was due to your spine breaking," spoke Apollo as First Born is being tortured with his face been cut off and his back broken, "Again. Tell me something, can you only feel pain now? I mean, with all that blood rushing of your ears… Eyes… Mouth… I'd like to know, do you merely sense the break, or hear it like I do? Causing the inevitable clench down… well, you know,"

"My hands will clutch you…!" First Born groans out in pain, "CLENCH!"

"You assume you're going to have them. When I'm done with you, you'll be using your forehead to smear "mercy" with your own excrement," the new king of Olympus grabs the lever, "Unless… and this is so easy," pulls the lever causing more pain for First Born, "Swear your allegiance to me, and your wretched torments will end, just like that. We'll look at this as a trifle, and move past it. You'll see. That's what we always do. Gods don't hold grudges," First Born pulls the chains trying to break free, "We hold thrones. Swear your allegiance to me," First Born pulls the chains once more, "And stand by my side. Recognize me as not only Master of Olympus," Apollo grabs the lever once more, "But master of you. Swear!"

What Apollo doesn't see is the First Born grinning as the is a small break in the chains.

-Themyscira-

Wonder Woman arrived back to Themyscira to see if any of the Amazons survived when Naruto defeated all of them. But all of the Amazons were defeated by her childhood friend.

"When I left home for the first time I remember what you said," Hermes is standing behind and watching Wonder Woman as she stands before her mother that was turned to stone, "No matter how far your journey takes you… we your family are your home; we always are, I suppose. What I was told, I've learned, is different from what I knew. Who, I mean. Which…" the Princess of Themyscira lowers her head with some of her hair covering her face, "I've failed someone I care the world about. You taught me to be strong. To rely on myself. To trust myself. But how can I do that, when the person I trust most in the world, a person I've sworn to protect; doesn't trust me?" Diana place her hands on her mother's shoulders

"Wonder Woman… we should go,"

"All right, Hermes," said the Amazon.

They leave the market place with the snakes guarding the stone statue of Hippolyta. If one were to look around not just at the market place, but the rest of Themyscira as vines are growing and taking the place over as though nature is trying to take back the island.

"Look at us," Hermes started off to say

"Birds of a feather?" Wonder Woman fires back

"Yes, both swore to protect a child that's flown the coop,"

"And his mother, Hermes," because Zola disappeared along with Zeke leaving Hera behind with the Diana and Hermes went looking for the mother and they started with Themyscira because it is right now the perfect place to hide.

The God of Medicine holds up his staff, "Of course, we'll find Zola, Diana."

-Connie Island-

Naruto for the life of him can't believe what he is watching. Himawari is running around chasing Harley with a baseball bat trying to hit her with it. The reason that she is doing this is because she walked in on them as Harley was kissing Naruto. Since the little girl didn't know that Naruto and Hinata aren't married, but the little girl thinks they are and doesn't want other women getting close to her daddy. Hinata is gigging at this since Himawari doesn't get to have very much fun back in Japan.

"I should of brought Himawari-chan here sooner," stated Hinata

"If Harley wanted to she could easily get away,"

Gigging some more, "She's just playing with Himawari-chan. Naruto-kun, I have to ask you; something is coming and you don't know how to face it,"

"You're right, Hinata-chan. I recently fought a man that toyed with me," the blonde turned to his lover, "The only thing that harmed him was my demonic sword. And even then… I had to push it. He was the only person I've fought that could go toe to toe with me,"

"I know you can defeat this man, Naruto-kun. I have faith you in!" Hinata places her hand on Naruto's shoulder, "Think of this as a way to fight a man that can give you a challenge when you fight him once more,"

"Oh, I plan to fight him again! I know he'll break free from his prison that the Gods of Olympus have him in; it's only a matter of time!"

"You're bloodlust it showing, Naruto-kun,"

Smiling sheeplessly and rubs the back of his head, "Sorry about that, Hinata-chan! Just knowing that someone is out there that can take the punishment that I can dish out and he give it in turn. I will be waiting for him to come!" Naruto grins with his clear bloodlust as show with a thought of someone fighting on even terms with him.

-Mount Olympus-

"Why do you insist on making me behave in a fashion I'm uncomfortable with?" Apollo has changed into his godly form causing the temperature to go up to ridiculous levels, "We share the same blood. It pains me to spill yours. You're been treated so unkindly by our father. But believe me, you're not alone in suffering the slights or Zeus," it is reveal that the New King of Olympus is holding a pitcher of water, "I have as well, and I don't want to hurt you, I want to heal you," Apollo pours the water out in front of the First Born as the rising temperature dries his mouth, "Just swear your allegiance to me and your torments will end. What say you, brother?"

First Born mutters something that Apollo couldn't hear.

"What was that? A little louder, please."

Once against the First Born mutters something that Apollo still couldn't hear.

"Louder. So all the heavens can hear," placing his hand next to his ear

"Never," mutters First Born before breaking his chains, "NEVER!" he wraps his hands about Apollo's throat.

-Connie Island-

Naruto stares down at Himawari as she is sleeping peacefully after a long day of playing. This is what Naruto looks forward into the future as Himawari will be spend time during the summers for how long she wants too.

'Everything that I've down is wreath it in the end to see my Little Princess.' thought Naruto.

The one eyed blonde gently kissed his daughter's forehead before silently leaving her room that was set up for her. He makes his way to the living room where everyone else is waiting for him.

"I think the rest of us wants to know what happened when you left, Naruto-kun," Hinata stated to the blonde, "It has been weighting you down since you've returned,"

"Sighing…!" the blonde sits on the couch next to Harley, "Wonder Woman and I have been made the new Gods of War with the death of Ares,"

"How are you a God of War?" Harley asked

Running a hand through his hair before sighing once more, "It started back on Themyscira when I was still a child; Ares made the decision to have the aspects of war. One being the honorable aspect of war and the other being the cruelty of war,"

"Wonder Woman being the honorable aspect of war, while you became the aspect of the cruelty of war," Hinata easily pieced together what Ares was trying to do with both Naruto and Wonder woman, "Did Ares tell you why?"

"He just wanted to have a student. The honorable one was trained by Ares himself, while the other was trained by no one. To learn through the hardship that the difference between learning from a teacher to learning through self taught,"

"That's why you'd joined the Liberian Civil War," Jack says as it makes since

"Oh, that was all Slade's idea," confessed Naruto, "He wanted me to learn the hard way of fighting. But back to the story at hand; I went to London to fight the First Born,"

"First Born?" Harley tilts her head to the side since during collage she took a Greek Mythology class and no name like that ever came up

"The First Born was the first child that Zeus had with Hera and was told that he would overthrow him and take the sit of Olympus as the new king. While fighting First Born it came to mind that he could take my super strength and give it back in spades,"

"And that is saying something," Jack mutters since he remembers how hard Naruto hits when they were younger, "So he could give and take what you do best. I take it that there is more to there, isn't there?"

"Oh, there is. Wonder Woman did more damage, but I think I'd pissed him off more then anything. Ares was fighting First Born and was losing and Wonder Woman took advantage with her killing Ares and at the same time hurting First Born at the same time,"

"So Wonder Woman killed the old God of War?" Jack crosses his arms and leans back against the wall, "How does one kill a god?"

"Wonder Woman is a demigod so she had the power to do so. I have Kurama to kill a god now if it came to it. Shortly afterwards both Wonder Woman and I was summoned to Mount Olympus to take our sits with the other gods. They are children with powers they shouldn't have,"

"That's what they are Whiskers," Harley stretches out to push out her chest trying to get Naruto to look at her, "I took a Greek Mythology class during collage and my professor said that out of all the pantheons the Greeks are one of the most took power that wasn't given to them,"

"It's a given to how the king's came to power,"

"What happened to the First Born after he was defeated?"

"Apollo took him to Mount Olympus to torture his older brother and I have a feeling that the other gods are torturing him as well. But the one thing that have been bothering me is that I have a feeling that the First Born will break free and kill Apollo,"

"Why do you say that, Naruto-kun?" asked Hinata

"I don't know it's just that gut feeling. And the one thing that I fear the most," Naruto looks over to the room that Himawari is sleeping in, "I fear what would happen to Baruto and Himawari if the First Born becomes the king of Oylmpus,"

"Don't worry, Naruto-kun, we'll stand by you when the time comes," Hinata reaches over to take the blonde's hand into hers

"She's right, Naruto," Jack leans off the wall and makes his way over to his friend, "The Two Demons will show the First Born want it means to know fear,"

"And we can break his knees in!" Harley is holding up her bat with a crazy grins on her beautiful face, "Can we cut his legs off?"

Naruto is having a feeling that Harley is getting a little sexual frustrated. Living in the same building and being in a relationship with the crazy blonde has taught Naruto a few things about her. She likes to get a little violent when she wants to have sex; then remember throughout the day she tried to get the one eyed blonde alone to have her way with him.

'Note to self; treat Harley later when it is just the two of us,' Naruto makes the mental note to himself

"We'll cut his legs off when we fight him again, Harley,"

"So when this First Born breaks free; what are you doing to do?"

"I plan to fight him and I plan to win this time around." Naruto stated as he stares out the window as though storm clouds are making their way to the blonde.

-Mount Olympus-

"Now, jailer behold your executioner!" stated the First Born as he wraps his giant hands around Apollo's throat

"Jailer… yes. My folly was to believe I could rehabilitate you, First Born," chokes out Apollo as he has intense flames being released from his body

"What you've stolen Apollo, rightfully belongs to me!" the first born of Zeus ignores the intense heat from the flames

"What I have is power; is that what you seek?" the Sun God throws his hands up, "Then have some!" releasing a large intense stream of fire that forced the First Born and throws him across the top of Mount Olympus, "What do you think, First Born? That was but a taste of my power!"

"Is… that all?" groans out the First Born as he sits up showing that he has third degree burns all over his body, his hair has been burned off, if anything it looks like he was cooked and is ready to been eaten, "I have burned since the day of my birth! This is nothing new."

Apollo takes a step back as for the first time since he came into existence; the God of the Sun feels fear setting in. He has never felt anything like this. The only time that came close to anything like this is when he was cut by Hera's Champion. The damned sword has something about that just brings fear out, but this is nothing like what is happening right now.

'No! I will not let this happen! I have finally become the King of Olympus! I am the God of the Sun! I stand above the rest!' Apollo shouted at himself in his mind

"DIE!" Apollo goes supernova melting everything around the two of them, but then Apollo goes up and beyond and focus the supernova all onto First Born, "WHY WON'T YOU DIE!?" Apollo intensified the supernova even further.

The supernova ends with Apollo on his hands and knees huffing as he spent so much of his power to just one being. The chard body of First Born moves as thick black smoke rises off his body. From third degree burns to fourth degree burns that no one should of survived, yet he did. The First Born grins without any lips anymore and laughs.

Standing over his younger brother as he still is huffing from using up large amounts of his power, "Because Apollo, my hate burns hotter than a thousand suns. it's bigger than your ambition. You don't deserve the power you have. None of you do," he reaches down picks up his younger brother, "This mountain is my birthright. I claim as my own," putting Apollo in a bear hug, "You were a pretender, Brother. Nothing more. The throne is mine; you merely kept it warm," the sound of bones cracking under the pressure, "You will be the first of Olympus to die by my hand. That honor salve your final seconds," more bones break from the bone breaking pressure, "Then the entire family will fall! One by one!" until there is only one; ME! And my mountain,"

Seeing something flying towards Mount Olympus, "Over my dead body!"

And with Apollo's last breathe he causes all of Mount Olympus to explodes.

-Provence-

Hera is looking through the wine menu looking over the different wines that she wants to try. As she does knowing full well that the waiter is getting annoyed by this, she can't help think about her life up till now. Yes, she has done many trouble things to Zeus' children that he had over the years. The only one that stood out from all of Zeus' children was Hercules, but even that was pushing it. Then Zeke came along and the former Queen of Olympus can say that she has fallen in love with Zeke for he is innocent to the world and does know what is going on around him. He is still young enough so that he can be taught to not become like who his father is.

But right now the former goddess needs a drink, "Hmmm… I had a drink once. It was made with cucumber essence, I think," looking through the menu, "Or was it cucumber water? Wait… no, it was rose water. Do you know what that drink is called?"

"Not on zee menu. This is a winery. Perhaps some wine?" you can tell on the waiter's face that he wishes for this woman to make up her mind already

"Wine was all I drank for centuries. I'm sick of wine!"

"That's ridiculous!" not believing the woman to be a goddess from Olympus, "You should try our wine. it's the best in the world,"

"I'm from Olympus. Your best doesn't hold a candle besides, I'm all about trying new things,"

"I'm told they have new things in Spain; I could get a train schedule," the waiter made up his mind to try to get the woman to leave since she is clearly doesn't want any of their wine

"What about that drink Zola liked? What was that called? Jack?" a green meteor head towards the winery, "Jack and something. it'll come to m-" Hera didn't get to finish as the green meteor hits her.

-Olympus-

Well all this is happening as Mount Olympus goes up in flames an aircraft that was heading towards it was hit by the explosion. The wing of the port side of the aircraft was blown off and caused the engines to power down.

"Cheever! Status!" yelled out Cassandra as the aircraft rocks back and forth

"Engines are dead and we've taken a blow to the port bow wing! Cassandra we are going down!"

oxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Zola hangs onto a ladder as the aircraft shacks and is taken by gravity. She really regret getting on this aircraft when Dionysus was captured. All she wanted to do was get away from everything and just be with Zeke. No gods. No fighting. No wars. No crazy at all.

"Okay, Zeke, this is one of those times when your mama tells you things are gonna be all right," the aircraft rocks once more, "WHOA!" Zola loses her grip and hits the floor below making sure she lands on her back, "An' you just have to believe her."

oxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

"We've stabilized?" asked Cassandra since the aircraft has stopped shacking, "Good work, Cheever. Thank you,"

"Cassandra… The engines are still dead. don't thank me." gave the cold hard truth that something is guiding them down to Mount Olympus.

oxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

That something is Wonder Woman who caught the aircraft. Yes, the Amazon is super strong, but the aircraft is too heavy with the force of gravity making it even harder. Grunting as the aircraft weighs down coming closer and closer to Mount Olympus.

A blue sphere appears with Hermes and Artemis appearing to see the remains of Mount Olympus.

"Here we are, Moon," stated Hermes

"This is Olympus?" asked the Goddess of the Moon as she looking up to see the falling aircraft comes crashing down, "You need to work on your timing."

And true the aircraft came crashing down onto Mount Olympus. The aircraft slides across the ground clearing out a path from it. Hermes pushed a large slab of cement off him and Artemis.

"Apollo?" Artemis asked as she couldn't feel her brother. She and Apollo have a connection that lets them feel each other, but for some strange reason the Goddess of the Moon couldn't feel him, "Apollo, my Brother. My soul. Answer me!" shouts out in anger.

Cassandra, the Minotaur who has been working with the Daughter of Zeus, and Dionysus whose broken free from his bonds, "I think it's obvious Apollo can't respond; and that you two had an interesting relationship," calling out that both Artemis and Apollo are in fact lovers

Growling at her younger sister, "You! What manner of devil are you that bring down Olympus?" charges towards them intent to kill them all in a blind rage

"Moi?" Cassandra mocks her older sister, "I'm no devil, sweetie," Minotaur easily backhands Artemis away, "I'm family,"

Wonder Woman quickly runs over to the down Goddess, "Cassandra's not responsible for the fall of Olympus, Artemis. Its fall brought hers as well,"

"You can't feel it, Wonder Woman? The bond I shared with my twin," for the first time she feel powerless, "It's broken. Apollo is gone." cast her eyes down as her other is no more.

The hyenamen survived the crash before they throw their heads into the air sniffing the air and start to howl and bark. Zola who survived the crash as well hides behind some rumble holding Zeke close to her trying to make sure her baby doesn't cry out. While this was going on flesh grows out and covers the very ground everyone is standing on. Hermes lift his foot up as flesh sticks to it.

"Don't mind my… children," calls out a voice causing everyone's head to turn where the voice is coming from, "They get… excited," more and more flesh grow and over. A tower of flesh that looks like different organs with a few bones sticking out, "When they smell… blood," revealing First Born standing there with no skin at all, "I claim my birthright. Olympus is mine," if the First Born could grin he could as for the first time in several millennia Zeus' first son has what he wants, "Heaven is mind. Bow down to me. You have my word, your deaths will be quick,"

"And you, scum, have mine! I will avenge Apollo!" Artemis throws causation to the wind as her anger takes her and leaps at the First Born.

Veins burst out of the First Born's chest. The veins grab and wrap around Artemis before they dig into her very body, causing pain that she never felt before she starts to scream out in pain.

"Avenge Apollo? The coward? Rather than die by my hand, he chose suicide. You should have followed his lead," Artemis' body withers as all the liquids in her body are drained, "can you feel it? Your life draining from you?"

"Cold…" Artemis barely whispers out

"Fueling my furnace!"

"Do you know what I feel, First Born?" Wonder Woman asked before summoning a glowing blue spear who jumps high into the air to bring it down cutting the veins that are draining Artemis, "Revulsion; at your very existence, and I will have no more of that,"

Diana holds up Artemis making sure she isn't hurt while doing so, "Diana, we made a bargain… You owe me a wish…" lowering her head as her eyes grow heavier, "Stop denying your mantle," veins wrap around Diana and drags her away, "Or he will kill us all…" before passing out from being drained by the First Born.

Lifting up Diana with the veins and away from everyone else, "You made a bargain with a god? There is only one that matters," First Born stated as he himself sees himself as the only god that should exist

Trying to break free from her bonds with only one breaking from her strength, "I understand that now, First Born,"

Cassandra starts to laugh at Diana as victory is at hand, "Ha! You may understand, but you don't hear. Olympus is ours-" she didn't get to finish as veins wrap around her head shutting her up

"Shut up, Voiceless of God. There is no ours; there is only mine. you're served me well. Continue to do so, and I won't beat you to jelly," the Minotaur growls and takes a step forward, "Really? Less than a man? You want to challenge God?" Minotaur stops with the First Born pulling his muscles as if he is smiling, "I didn't think so,"

"Cower or kill? Is that your offer?" Diana asked as it seems the same as death to her

"What makes you think I offer anything?" the veins dig into Wonder Woman's body and start to drain her, "You treat ma… as a thing you understand. But I am not that. Left to die in a desert, condemned by those that created me. Left… as nothing," bones grow out of the ground and surround Hermes, "It too me seven thousand years," organs wraps around Dionysus trapping him in the fleshy prison, "To understand," more of the liquids in Diana's body is drained, "Only nothing last forever," throwing up his arms in victory, "Mother! Father! I understand now; I am nothing!"

Then, when everything seemed to be hopeless green lightning strikes down severing the veins that are holding Wonder Woman and striking the First Born. Another bolt of green lightning strikes the ground with Hera making an appearance revealing Hera to be standing in its wake; showing that all of her powers have been restored. Green lightning strikes down freeing Hermes and Dionysus from their bonds. With more lightning strikes in front of all First Born's forces.

"Oh, quit your crying. Mama's here. Apollo's last act wasn't dying, but restoring me. And I am Queen of Olympus!"

Diana who is restored after Hera rescued quickly stated, "Hera, the First Born, he's too powerful!"

"Would you please just let me vamp?" the fully restored Queen of Olympus almost pouted

"We're lost Olympus to him

Turning and frowning to Diana, "And you can't beat my first born without an army," throwing up her hand which caused green lightning that strikes herself, Diana, Hermes, and Dionysus, "You too!" with another bolt of green lightning strikes Zola and Zeke.

First Born grins as the up coming battle that will soon be here. A battle that will decide the fact of the world and everyone on it. A battle that will be glories.

-Themyscira-

Green lightning strikes the ground with everyone appearing with any wounds healed. Artemis who is restored is still on her knees, not fully at full power since Apollo is gone.

"ZOLA!" the Amazon Princess lifts up Zola as joy overtook her with all the danger that has happened in the last few hours

"You're not mad…?" since she upped and left without saying a word about it

"Mad? that's the last thing I am! I'm sorry I made you feel like a burden; can you ever forgive me?"

"Forgiveness seems to be the order of the day; I ask the same of you?" asked Hera since she too wasn't all too good to everyone's

"Don't be silly, Hera, we owe you our lives!"

Hera turns to face away waving her hand for Diana to follow, "No, Diana. it's I who owe you. And not just for what I fear you're about to do for us all. I promised you an army. I can think of none more glorious," showing her that during her time away from everyone Hera has restored all of the Amazons that Naruto defeated have turned back to normal, "Than the Amazons,"

Overcome with joy as her Sisters are standing there waiting for orders as their Princess is standing there, "Thank you, Hera. Sisters, it brings me such joy to see you restored. Not just you here in Themyscira, but all the Amazons of Paradise Island. Yet that joy is tempered by a declaration I don't take lightly. Olympus lies in ruins claimed by a Mad God," telling the Amazons the truth about what is about to come, "Warriors, I ask you to join me in a fight to reclaim heaven. Follow me," godly energy gathers in Diana's left hand, "Not as your princess," summoning her sword before pointing up to the skies as lightning shoots out of the tip of the blade, "But as the God of War!"

-Connie Island-

Naruto stares into the clouds that are rolling in. One minute the skies were cleared, but now it looks like a storm; and a big one is fixing to hit them. From what Harley said that storms don't come around this time of year. The blonde sits on the lawn chain that someone has left it on top of the roof.

"You can come out now, I know your there," he calls out with Hera stepping into view, "I see that you have your powers back,"

"I've come for my Champion. You are needed for this up and coming battle," she stated, "What say you?"

Looking up to the Goddess, "Yeah, I want another go at that son of a bitch. I want to not just kill him!" Naruto stands up and walks over to the edge of the building, placing his hands on the cement bricks, "I want to beat him! Destroy him! Show him what it means to fight against the Golden Devil!" breaking the cement bricks

"So you will fight then. Come with me and see the army that Diana is building,"

"I can't do that right now. I will bring my own army. While Diana has her Amazons; I have my assassins," Naruto turns to face Hera with her seeing that her Champion is on fire and is thrilled by the thought of facing her son, "Give me a few days and I'll be on the shores of Themyscira."

Hera can tell that Naruto will keep his word and will bring an army that will help with the up coming battle. She takes her leave with a bolt of green lightning striking her. Naruto heads down stairs to his apartment. When the blonde got there he picks up his cellphone and dials the number in mind.

-Tibet-

Talia just finished with a few documents that her assassins competed a few hits. Her phone rings with her eyebrow raised since very few people have her number for that phone, but then the Demon Head remembers who usually comes on that phone.

Picking up, "Hello, Naruto," greets Talia

"Hello, Talia. How are you and Bolt?" asked since it been sometime since the blonde called his first lover and his son

"We're doing fine with Bolt learning as much as he can. He wants to see you with his first trail coming up,"

"His first trail? So soon?" being Talia he knows the inner workings of the League of Assassins and how those grow in rank take trails to further themselves, "Isn't he too young?"

"No, this is normal for children to take their first trail around the age six. Baruto wishes for you to be here when he takes the trail,"

"Tell me when his trail is and I'll be there. But for the reason that I'm calling you is there is an up and coming battle and I need warriors,"

"Naruto, we're assassins not warriors. We fight in the shadows; not in the light,"

"I know that, but this is very important. I never asked you for anything in all the years that I've known you. Talia, I need an army,"

Talia closed her eyes and made up her mind. Naruto holds a special place in her heart with the love that only her son could fight for, "Very well my love,"

Naruto was taken aback with Talia calling him her love, "Thank you, Talia. you've been there for me, and I've been there for you,"

"You helped me when I needed you the most. It's only right that I help you in turn. I'll let you know when Baruto is taking his trail. In the mean time I'll have those that can fight for you in the states in two days,"

"Again thank you, Talia." hangs up shortly afterwards.

Talia leans back in her chair and sighs. In all the years she knew him this was the first time he truly asked for anything. Turning and picking up another phone, "I need all members free from any assignments and have them head to America to Connie Island when Naruto Uzumaki is located for he has a mission that will need their skills. And get me Lady Shiva for she will want to be there." she hangs up her phone and leans back in her chair before long stands up and heads to see her son and tell him the great news.

-Fairbanks, Alaska-

Rose just finished taking a long and hot bath after a long assignment. It was too hard or long, but it was just painful. Wintergreen made his persist known for her to look over to her long time butler as he is holding a phone for her. Taking the phone and place it next to her ear.

"Yo, Rose!" it's been a while since Naruto as called her, "How are you?"

"I'm doing fine. Just finished a job that didn't feel right with me," sitting in a chair and relaxes even more, "So I have to ask since you only call when you need something; so what is it?"

"I need you to come to Connie Island as I'm heading for war and I need your help,"

"War now?" the daughter of Slade Wilson swings her legs out and leans forward, "Tell me more!"

Naruto tells her everything that has been happening and what the First Born planned to do, and how he plans to attack and force everyone to kneel before him of death.

"Oh, I'm in! I'll be there tomorrow with so many weapons that Batman will be watching to make sure I don't start a war there!" Rose didn't wait for Naruto to say anything else as she hungs up the phone, "Wintergreen!" calling out to her butler, "We're heading for war and we may not return!"

"Master Naruto always seem to find the most interesting people to fight to the death. I would love to see the battle once more, Lady Rose,"

"And what would you do?" Rose asked since it's been a long time since Wintergreen fought on the battlefield

"I would do what a butler would do; tidy the place up!" says Wintergreen as a bloodthirsty smile appears on his face.

-Underworld-

Standing at the shores of the River of Styx is Hades with Poseidon breaching the waters in his massive form.

"Heaven; whose weight once pressed heavy on our shoulders, now hangs above our heads as a guillotine. We are threatened! You can't deny that!" the God of the Underworld simply tells her brother the cold hard facts

"Of course, but to act…? Heavens rages. Rest not to give it a target. Tis better we let its nature take its inevitable course,"

"The arguments though certainly flawed… is convincing,"

"Then, dear Hell, the question becomes; have I convinced you?" as Poseidon doesn't want to lose another brother

"Well, Sea, for now? Your detente. I'll stand down. Heaven is safe," all the souls of the dead standing behind their god as he is ready

"Hell… It's neither heave nor safe anymore."

-Themyscira-

The Amazons of Themyscira are training, making weapons, forging armor, all for preparing for the up and coming battle. Both Diana and Hera stand before the still stoned Hippolyta.

"It's such a relief… things here being almost back to normal. All except for you, Mother,"

"I don't know how to explain it, Diana; I wished Hippolyta to clay, but I can't wish her back. that's never happened before. Something; or someone is preventing me," Hera has tried and tried again and again to make Hippolyta whole again

"Are you sure, Hera?" since Hera is very powerful

"I should be able to do it by just thinking it, and I'm thinking it right now,"

"Heh! Me thinks you think otherwise," Aleka stated as she sharpens her spearhead

"It would be wise to watch your tongue, Aleka. Hera is a goddess!"

"I know what Hera is, Princess," she marches over to them and leans over the Queen of Olympus being a head taller, "And what she did to me, my Sisters and my Queen. Aye, Hera is a god. And as such worthy of my worship," turning and waving over to the clay Hippolyta, "My trust, however, I'll reserve,"

"For your queen, I presume?"

"Certainly. I pledge my allegiance only to her,"

"Then you should show her respect, and face her when you pledge,"

"What?" asked Aleka since she is facing her queen

"You called her princess. Given Hippolyta's state call Diana queen,"

"Hera, I'm not-" Diana tried to say but was cut off

"Of course you are. Maybe sooner than to your liking, but you are Diana; Queen of the Amazons,"

"Ah, so that's it. Hippolyta remains under a spell! How convenient!" Aleka growls at the newly crowned queen

"Are you accusing me of treachery directed at my own Mother?" Diana fired back

"Your words, my Queen. Think I'll watch my tongue…"

Hera who has been watching this little conversation taking place smirks with her eyes starting to glow bright green, "Fork again?"

Aleka's right hand becomes green with scales growing as fear takes her, "NO! Goddess! Mercy!"

"HERA!" throwing her hand on said Goddess's shoulder to stop her from turning Aleka back into a snake.

From what was happening the other Amazons stopped what they were doing to watch what was going on. For the fear of turning back into snakes was still fresh in their minds.

Night quickly came to Themyscira as most of the Amazons went to bed. While a few stood guard and guard the city from the enemy may do a sneak attack. But there is one thing that has been on the minds for all the Amazons and that is Hera's Champion; Naruto Uzumaki. He defeated them all and were wondering where is he since the Goddess is there. They don't know to be afraid or aroused. Afraid that a man could defeat them with ease, or turned on by a strong male that would give them strong children.

"It might be best if you left the island," Artemis stated to Hermes and Dionysus

"What? I don't thin that's wise," Hermes tries to argue with his sister

"Perhaps not, but prudent. Even though the both of you are divine, your male presence offends the Amazons,"

"Artemis, I think 'offends' is a strong word," Diana chimes in

"You have a better?"

Diana thinks long and hard but only one word comes to mind, "No,"

"We are your guests. You are their queen," the Messenger of the Gods tells the new Queen of the Amazons, "The Queen. that's something you should establish,"

"And I will," she walks over to the opened window to look at a group of Amazons sitting around a fire, "By being sensitive to their wishes," before turning back to everyone, "Hermes, perhaps you and Dio should go. If just for a bit,"

"Why?"

"Because the Amazons were turned into snakes for a while and they don't trust Wonder Woman," says Zola as she is feeding Zeke

"When you put it that way," the God of Wine sips his glass of wine

"I know right? It's like, oh, I get it!"

"What about Zeke? Shall we take him too?" Hermes asked since the baby is a boy too

"NOOO!" Zola will not let her baby leave her side

"I'm here. Zeke will be safe," for Hera will not let anything happen to the baby while she is still here, "And there is merit to Moon's words. It's about barriers, Messenger. We need to remove them. So Diana can move forward,"

"Why do I think baby steps with my Sisters will be a pain?" Diana asked herself.

"Treason!" yelled out Dessa as she was taken aback by what she is hearing from the other Amazons as she was the right hand for Hippolyta

"Please, Dessa. They're just words. What have be become, that dissension breeds discord," Aleka says trying to say that they're still loyal and aren't turning turncoat

"Snakes?" one of the Amazons said since most of them gained a fear of snakes

"Heh, you have me there, Sister, you do. But then, the spell had all of us; all of us," Aleka brings her knees in and wraps her arms around herself, "Crawling on our bellies. And for what? Protecting our beloved Queen from a capricious god. A fate we would accept again, certainly, but…"

"Now we're being expected to accept another capricious god as our new queen," says an Amazon wearing a cloak

Aleka jumps to her feet quickly to defeat herself for what she just said, "I have concerns. What you're voiced-"

"Is all our concern," the cloaked Amazon said what was on all the Amazon's mind, "All of us. My voice echoes the beating of your hearts,"

"You speak as if we have one mind in this matter. But rarely it is, if ever,"

"Then mark today as ever; forever," the cloaked Amazon turns and walks away, "More," grinning as the seeds of discord have been sown into the heart's of the Amazons.

-Mount Olympus-

Mount Olympus is a sit of power for the Old Gods plain and simple. Zeus had Mount Olympus show where they came from with it looking like how Greece was back during it golden years. Apollo had Mount Olympus a more modern look as he is always looking towards the future. But with the First Born? He has Mount Olympus as how he looks at everything; death. Flesh and bone. Blood raining down creating rivers of blood. Red lightning flashing to make like the skies are become just like Mount Olympus.

"Are you hungry?" first Born asked Cassandra, "I said, are you hungry, Cassandra?"

The First Born had starved her by keeping her mouth covered with veins. She hunger for what seems like for days. First Born breaks the veins covering her mouth.

Tossing her a piece of meat, "Then eat," watching devour the meat, "I, too, hunger,"

Crawling away for her life, "Don't… touch…

Trying to grin, "You flatter yourself. Olympus is mine. The thrones abandoned. I rule heave alone. As is my birthright. And yet," he kneels down still grinning as Cassandra is eating the meat, "Ruling is for the contented. I am not that, nor will I ever be. Crave. I will let you help me get what I want, Cassandra. You, too, less than a man," Cassandra finished the piece of meat, "Huh, you made short work of that. You liked it?"

"You're starved me," Cassandra licks her fingers

"Yes, but you liked. What was its name?" the First Born asked

"Cheever," said one of the hyenamen

"He's delicious, no?" Cassandra covers her mouth before emptying her stomach as she just ate someone she knew, "I will make you one of us, Cassandra, or it is I who will eat you; I promise." the First Born stands over his younger sister as the first step in breaking her has begun.

-Themyscira-

Back on Themyscira the sun is setting casting the color purple on the island as the sun sinks lower and lower. Diana and Zola walk the shoreline enjoying the peace while they still have it.

"It's really nice here," says Zola

"It makes me happy you enjoy my home, Zola,"

"Yeah…"

Diana looks at Zola, "That was a pregnant yeah, yeah?"

"Yeah,"

"You want to leave," it wasn't a question

"I don't belong here,"

Grinning at how the new Queen of the Amazons thought like that once, "Funny, I said that myself once. Zola, this has all been crazy for you. I mean, since we're met, you've seen things you didn't believe existed,"

"I'm walking on one, y'know?"

"I do… I'm walking with one. you're a very special person, Zola. that's something you don't forget,"

"That suppose to make me feel good?"

I hope so. I'm worried, though, I need you and Zeke to be safe,"

The mother looks down at her baby, "I get that, but I never feel safer than when I'm alone with him,"

"No offense,"

"None taken, mother. Mother…" then a thought came to mind, "Zola, give me the chance to do something about that."

oxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

The sun fully sets as a blood moon rises over Themyscira casting a shade of red over the island. Diana had the Amazons gather at the palace for she wanted to make one last stand on they views on men. Not just for Zeke, but for Naruto as well she knew he'll come to fight the First Born when the time comes.

"Amazons, I stand before you not as a god, or your queen, but as you sister. As one of you. I haven't felt that way, I know. There were times when I felt alone on this island, that I was different. And I was, but I've since learned that whatever differences we may have are paltry next to what we share in common. And that makes me happy. I am an Amazon, and I have never been prouder to say that; or as your queen, to say things on Paradise Island have got to change,"

"You see, Sisters? Here we are," called out Aleka

"Aleka, we need to evolve. we're isolated ourselves of our society; and some of our children," Hera waved for Zola to come over to them, "The old ways… Do they actually work anymore? Do we just cling to them because that's the way our forebears intended? We need to look at ourselves and open doors we've closed. And now is a good place to start," Zola hands the new queen Zeke and she shows the baby to all the Amazons, "This girl is my friend. Our friend. She needs our help. Sisters, I ask all of you to become mothers to this child!"

"But it has a-"

"Name," the God of War cuts of one of the Amazons, "His name is Zeke. As you queen, my first order of business is to pledge the life of every Amazon warrior to his protection,"

Aleka shouted out, "You can't do that!"

"I just did. Our survival depends on his. And as you Sister I'm pleading with you to love the boy as your own; open your hearts,"

"What about the male Amazon?!" shouted another Amazon

"Naruto became like to because you all feared him," some of the younger Amazons didn't understand what their new queen said, "Years ago, Naruto, who was born it was said that he would cause the Amazons; our ways from ending and it caused a panic. We reaped what we sowed,"

"W- Will he come back?!" another panicked

This is it was Hera that spoke out, "My Champion will be returning to fight and kill the First Born."

-Underworld-

"I'm troubled, Father," began Hades, "I mean, when you decided to kill your children, it was because you perceived us as a threat. But by trying to destroy us, you ended up creating that threat," a bean was tossed in his father's mouth, "It's one of those self-fulfilling bites in the ass that I've spent eternity wisely avoiding. And truth be told… other than sea? I have no use for any of my siblings," the bean falls out of Cronus' empty stomach cavity, "This detente, though… I have an army that can only swell in ranks if we war with Heaven. It seems foolish for me not to attack,"

"Then you are too late the fool."

Hades turned to be surprised that the First Born sneak up on him. The eldest son of Zeus simply blew out the God of the Underworld's candles out that sits onto of his head. Darkening the throne room.

No one.
