Chapter 20: Chapter 20

Ch. C20: Bad Call?

"Tell me did we learn anything Mars?" Demise asked his Ancient Silver blade twisting in Mars' back. The god's namesake blade at his neck his chest riddled with twelve oh make that thirteen arrows.

"Agh! Damn it Artemis!" Mars roared his ichor or golden god blood spluttering from his back. "That blade hurts! And those damn arrows aren't helping!"

"Oh sorry!" Demise laughed lurching his hilt up electing a roar of pain. "Truly my bad!"

Demise kicked the god from his silver blade golden ichor spraying the frozen ground.

"Damn you runt!" Mars snarled ripping arrows from his chest careful not touch his more serious wound. "Always forgot that ancient metals hurt like a fiend."

"I would also guess you aren't to found of silver arrows?" Demise chuckled electing a growl from the god.

"Mars he's making a puppet out of you!" Artemis said under her breath. "Don't let him enrage you! Or we'll both pay for it... Dearly."

"Damn I hate when you're right!" Mars sighed his stab wound finally mending itself. "Together?"

The goddess nodded knocking a silver arrow to her bow. "It's long overdue."

"Should I call this romance or suicide?" Demise asked ready for their assault. "I do like to categorize my victories."

The gods looked at one another.

"Suicide." they said together tensing as Demise sheathed the blade of Mars.

"Why not use such a godly blade?" Artemis asked keeping Demise in her sights.

"Let's just say that it is far too flashy for my liking." Demise said pointing to the sky quickly. "Oh my dragon?"

"What Where?!" Mars asked looking up to the empty sky. "Oh you little-"

The god was cut off by a swift kick to knee and hilt to his brutish face. The god fell like a stone exploding into his godly form and teleported away.

"Oh Artemis you don't seem to have a single scratch... Shall we change that?" Demise asked deflecting one of her arrows with a shower of sparks from his blade. "I'll take that as a yes!"

The Demititan rushed forward his blade aimed for the goddess's neck. Demise cursed as she changed into gazelle kicking off the ground and bounding away.

"Seems she was scared of boys after all." Demise chuckled spinning around to hilt slam an unsuspecting demigod into unconscious bliss.

"Or she was waiting for the Calvary?" a voice said from behind Demise. The Demititan turned facing the two guys from earlier Percy and Jason. Jason still wore a black eye curtsy of Yin. Though it was Percy who spoke. "You're the guy who burnt my cabin down right?"

"I don't know if I should applaud you or give you a dog treat." Demise laughed making the demigod turn red.

"Percy let's do this together you saw what he did to Mars." Jason said gripping his imperial gold gladius tight. Demise had done his homework on these two knowing they'd show.

"I must say that flimsy toy sword is nothing compared to your old blade and spear." Demise goaded as he circled his opponents. "Oh yes and Percy is a girl's name."

"AAAAAGGGGGHHHHH!" Percy roared charging forward with his celestial bronze blade. Demise palm struck the demigods wrist just as he brought down his blade and hilt slammed the idiot in the temple. "Ow!"

"Percy!" Jason called trusting his blade into the sky as a flash emitted. "Taste lightning!"

"Oh crap!" Demise yelled as was hit by the bolt dead center in his crimson breast plate. The Demititan flew backward skidding to a halt twenty feet back. "Nice trick..."

"Oh would you like another taste?" Jason said raising his blade again. "I don't think you'll have a smart comment for this one!"

Demise flinched as the flash emitted.

"AAAGGGHHH!" a voice roared as a blur of gold leaped in front of Demise bringing down an awkward looking ancient gold blade. The bolt split hitting two demigod's dead center in the chest. "Wow that actually worked!"

"Yin!?" Demise sputtered getting to his feet his eyes focusing on the sleek black pony tail and gold armor in front of him.

"Demise." Yin replied holding Neck Lacer at the ready. "Really now, I thought you'd at least take three bolts."

"Apparently you've never received one." Demise sighed popping his neck.

"You just cut my lightning in half..." Jason said backing away his blade moving around as he tried to think of the best way to counter Yin's Kopis Neck Lacer.

"Cool right?" Yin said patting Demise on the back. "I'm needed elsewhere can you handle all one and a half of them?"

"Hey!" Percy and Jason said in unison.

"Oh I do believe so." Demise said his eyes dancing with nonexistent flames. "How many casualties can we deliver?

"Two." Yin said pointing to Jason and Percy. "Have fun I'll be off now!"

"I don't like this..." Percy said cautiously.

"You shouldn't!" Demise roared his body bursting into flames as he charged both of the demigods.
