As the smoke began to clear, Tsukune could make out the appearance of their attackers. In another life he would have asked who the hell they were, but when he hadn't been training with Moka's father, he had been in the Shuzen family's archives preparing his mind for the day he would take his role as the new Headmaster of Yokai Academy.
"The Olympians?"
The Olympians were a race of beings that had been worshiped as gods in the ancient world. With the turn of time and the subsequent rise of Christianity, their power slowly but surely began to fade, until finally the Olympians disappeared altogether. Tsukune could feel the energy radiating from them, after all this time they had lost none of their potency.
"You crusty arrogant fossils belong in a museum." said Oberon "I suggest you leave before we decide to put you in one."
There were at least a dozen Olympians ready to strike, and at the center stood the three brothers responsible for leading the revolt against the Titans. Hades, Lord of the Underworld; Poseidon, Lord of the Sea; and Zeus, Lord of the Sky and King of the gods. Hades stepped forth dressed in a flowing dark cloak adorned with trinkets and a demonic helm.
"Do you not know power when you see it?" he growled.
"You are an insignificant speck Fairy King." said Zeus "We ruled this world before your kind were even a conceived thought on the plane of existence."
"And now after all these centuries of waiting, we're here to take back what is rightfully ours!"
When he had said this, Poseidon sank his trident into the earth and created a massive earthquake that nearly destroyed the rest of the temple.
"Moka, are you alright?"
"Aqua, you know what I've been through. I'm fine."
"What about the baby?"
"Baby? What are you talking about?"
Moka's face turned pink.
"Tsukune… I was going to surprise you later but… you're going to be a father."
Tsukune put his hand on Moka's stomach, and when he focused he could hear the sound of a tiny heart beating. For a moment everything was silent, but a very close encounter with a lightning bolt from Zeus brought him back to reality. He turned to face the Olympians and looked madder than any of the girls had ever seen him.
"YOU BASTARDS!"
A second later and Tsukune was dressed in his full armor. He had even conjured a wicked looking helmet for himself.
"I am the Dark Lord Tsukune Aono… You think you can come here and threaten my friends, my family, MY WIFE! MY CHILD!?"
All the other members of the Shuzen family looked just as angry as Tsukune. But the Olympians only laughed.
"If I didn't know any better brother, I'd say these leeches think they actually stand a chance against us."
"You creatures live on plasma, but that doesn't even come close to the carnage I have tasted." said Ares unsheathing an outrageously huge sword "I am War!"
"Aqua, escort Moka to safety." said Issa "This is no place for a mother to be."
"Titania, you take care of the VIPs. We'll handle the three brothers." said Oberon.
"The rest of you find an ass and kick it!" said Tsukune.
"Don't let fear dictate your actions, they are not invincible." said Quetzalcoatl drawing his macuahuitl "Onward, to battle!"
"Dibs on Artemis." said Koko.
"It seems that time has made them forget what we're capable of." said Poseidon defecting an energy blast.
"It'll be a pleasure to remind them." said Zeus throwing his arms in the air "JUDGEMENT STORM!"
Hundreds of lightning bolts came raining down from the sky. Yukari insitinctively prepared to cast a protection spell, but before she did Oberon raised a single arm and created a barrier that shielded all of them.
"Wow… So this is the power of the Fairy King."
"You think you're the only ones that can control the elements?"
With a single telepathic command, Oberon lifted hundreds of large boulders out of the ground and threw them at the Olympians, but Artemis and Apollo shattered them all with a volley of arrows.
"Okay, I admit… that was kind of awesome."
"Kalua, I know you don't like killing people, but you need to remember… they're trying to kill our niece."
Kalua removed her restraints without a second thought.
"I'm gonna kill them all!"
As Kalua charged off into battle, Moka and Aqua took off in the opposite direction.
"Niece?"
"So I hope it's a girl, sue me… Is it a girl?"
"It's too early to tell."
As they made their made their way back to safety, the sound of screaming could be heard from the battlefield.
"Kalua."
"I almost feel sorry for them." said Moka.
"Get down!"
Aqua pushed Moka out of the way of an energy blast, but was careful not to use too much force.
"Where do you think you're going?"
Moka and Aqua looked up and saw that they were surrounded by four muscular winged beings.
"The enforcers…"
The winged enforcers were the children of Pallas and Styx, known for their support of Zeus during the war with the Titans, now they were his constant companions. They were Kratos, Nike, Bia, and Zelus.
"The future head of the Shuzen family, and the wife of the new Dark Lord… They should make prestigious kills." said Kratos.
"She's pregnant you bastards!"
"Save it for someone who gives a damn." said Bia already generating another energy blast.
"SKKKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!"
All the enforcers covered their ears and were knocked flat on the ground.
"San!"
San came down carrying her notpad.
No one hurts my friends.
"Wretched siren!" growled Zelus "You cannot thwart the will of Olympus! We are gods, and you are nothing!"
Suddenly Zelus was shot in the back and his wings caught fire. He started rolling around on the ground trying to put them out.
"I don't think real gods would cry like little sissies." said Ruby.
Pandemonium had broken loose. Issa was fighting toe to toe with Heracles, Koko was in a duel with Artemis, Oberon was caught in a battle of magic with Hades, Quetzalcoatl was fighting with Poseidon, and Tsukune was trying to fight his way through a barrage of lightning bolts and light arrows to get to Zeus.
"Uh… was I supposed to fight Ares?" asked Fangfang "Because I think he's got a better sword than me."
Fangfang barely dodged a couple swift strikes from Ares' weapon.
"You're nothing but a pitiful demon playing with magic! I am the God of War! This conflict fuels me! Not even the Titans could kill me here!"
Bang!
A giant anvil dropped on Ares' head and he collapsed to the ground.
"Thanks for the save Yukari."
"It was nothing."
Poseidon knocked Quetzalcoatl's weapon out of his hands and sent him reeling.
"ENOUGH OF THIS!"
Poseidon threw his arms in the air and conjured a massive tidal wave that was easily over two hundred feet tall.
"HOLY SHIT!"
With her husband and daughter no longer on the field, Mizore was free to let it all loose. She charged over to the tidal wave and froze the whole thing with a single touch.
"Is it just me, or did she really step up her game?" asked Koko.
"Tsukune, what's our situation?!" asked Kurumu.
"We're holding our own, but we can't do this forever. I need to get to Zeus."
Unfortunately Zeus was still raining down thunderbolts like crazy, and Apollo was covering him with a barrage of light arrows.
"Oberon's got his hands full, and I don't think I can protect you that long." said Yukari.
"Gin, can you get to Apollo?"
"I think I prefer my body without more holes than Michael Bay's latest movie, if that's possible."
"Someone needs to get Apollo's attention, I'll take care of the rest." said Tsukune.
"I've got an idea."
Tsukune stood at the edge of the frozen tidal wave, ready to move. Kurumu flew out over the top.
"Hey Apollo! Were any of your consorts ever this endowed?!"
The sight of Kurumu's breasts provided the distraction that Tsukune needed. He took off like a bullet in Zeus' direction. He quickly conjured twin daggers the same way he formed his armor, then he chucked them at Zeus.
BOOM! BOOM!
"AAAAHHH!"
Zeus had just had his arms blown off, but Tsukune wasn't done with him yet.
WHAM!
For a long moment, everyone just stared at the scene with their mouths wide open.
"Did he just kick Zeus in the dick?" asked Oberon.
"I don't care if you were worshiped as a god in your time." said Tsukune "This is what happens when you mess with my family!"
"RETREAT!" bellowed Hades.
The incapacitated Zeus was carried off the field by his sons, all the others scrambled to get away on their own.
"COME ON YOU BUNCH OF PANSIES! GET BACK HERE AND FIGHT LIKE MEN!" yelled Koko "COME ON! COME ON! COME ON!"
There was a big round of applause beginning to emanate from those who had been brave enough to stay and watch the fight unfold, but Tsukune didn't stick around for it.
"MOKA!"
"Tsukune!"
"Moka, are you alright?!"
"The enforcers showed up, but I think it's pretty clear that godhood is a huge exaggeration for those guys." said Ruby.
"And the baby?"
"Our baby's fine… and after an episode like that, I think it's clear that you're going to make an amazing Dark Lord, and an even better father."
"Moka…"
"Tsukune…"
Tsukune thought his wife was going to give him a kiss, but he was mistaken.
"Moka, what do you think you're doing?!" asked the other girls as they showed up.
"I can't help it. The fight got me all excited, and I'm drinking for two now…"
