Ch a7: Eagles

Yin vaulted over a picnic table lashing out with his feet at a Roman fighting Alanna. The Roman gurgled as Yin's feet planted in his neck and chest. Yin rolled out of his fall bringing Neck Lacer upward knocking a celestial bronze blade from one of at least fifteen Greeks aiding another Ten Romans. The demititan spun around kicking a leg out of the cheap picnic table toppling Roman from atop making him face plant in a snowdrift.

"What the hell are these guys!" a Greek yelled as she was ducked under a gladius that Neck Lacer sent flying from Roman's grip. Despite Neck Lacer's name Yin was being careful not be slicing any throats. Yin nervously checked the sky seeing three eagles' circle above. The damn things already came after Yin once only to get a nice size gash in their wings.

"Yin!" Alanna yelled snapping Yin back to reality as he ducked under as sword strike lashing out with a quick blade strike to the inner thigh electing a scream that was silenced when Yin finished with a jarring side kick to the jaw. Yin glanced at Alanna seeing various cuts and scrapes across her arms. Alanna wasn't the worst fighter nor was she the best though. She had already used her time powers and nearly knocked herself out once the second wave came from the woods.

Yin cursed as another eagle swooped down though this one had a girl clad in roman armor and imperial gold spatha. Yin fell on his back the girls' blade missing by a hair.

"Roman's Greek's orders to kill these traitors!" The girl roared dropping from her eagle and rushing at Yin who jumped to his feet bringing Neck Lacer full circle knocking both back. The girl looked surprised that Yin had just deflected her strike. "AAAAAAGGGGGHHHHH!"

Yin danced around her blade deflecting her blows and sidestepping stabs. The girl roared letting lose a wicked strike at an odd angle. Yin spun around knocking the blade away with his ancient gold arm guard. The two locked eyes for a moment the girl regarding Yin in new light before letting lose a loud whistle.

"Crap!" Yin yelled as two metal gray hounds with arrow tip teeth leaped into the fray. One was gold and the other silver both inches from ripping his throat to shreds.

"Bad doggies!" Another girl screamed as both greyhounds crumpled like tin cans against the side of a brick building. Everyone stopped fighting looking at the smashed robot dogs in a shitless gaze. Yin snapped his attention to the girl who stood before him holding an ancient gold baseball bat with goggly eyes and silly grin.

"Viel?" Alanna asked her voice ringing through the silent Alaskan town.

"Mm-hm!" Viel said proudly pointing her bat at the girl who had sicked her dogs on Yin. "Demi'se sent me said you two could fight the grunts while I fight this one."

"D... Do you know who I am?" the girl asked in a snarl.

"Nope." Viel said swinging her bat.

"I'm Reyna daughter of Belona! Praetor to New Rome! And leader of the Greek alliance!" Reyna called her troops cheering.

"Kay I'm gonna smash you now!" Viel said charging forward with a thunder like smash of her bat. Reyna screamed in pain as her arm cracked from blocking Viel's blow. "Wow you Roman's break so easily I was only playing that time."

"You demon!" Reyna roared tossing her blade to her left hand. "Roman's Greek's fight!"

"Yay!" Viel squealed as she and Reyna were locked in combat.

Yin grinned as his mind cleared from the massive spike in power. Yin dashed through a crowd of enemies slashing their calfs making them topple like dominoes. Even fighting his own battles' Yin had to admit 'Viel had Style' though it kind of scared Yin how she tossed around Reyna as well as confused Romans and Greeks.

Yin cursed as he jumped evading a Greek's spear. The demititan cleaved the tip from the shaft using the useless stick to fling it's user into a wall then let lose a jarring punch to the Greeks jaw knocking him out against the brick wall of a feed store. Yin turned noticing that there were maybe ten enemies still standing as Viel fought Reyna and Alanna was doing her best against Romans' who was limping from Yin's Assault. One thing was clear this skirmish needed to end fast even Yin was feeling worn out.

Yin kicked in the feed stores door slashing down three hiding Greeks grabbing a shiny Zippo lighter grinning as he charged into the open holding his prize high ready for some arson.

"Everyone get away in the name of the titans I'll burn this town the ground!" Yin called flicking the lighter to life. Good Yin thought racking his mind for what he should do. Being the son of Prometheus the bringer of fire no knowledge... Though what Yin now held wasn't knowledge it was if anything dumb. Yin's eyes flared as he chucked the lighter into the sky only one thing coming to mind. "GO!"

The lighter burst into a explosion of fire much larger than should have been possible. Yin reached out to the flames letting his intelligence fill the empty shell. His Eyes snapped open as screams filled his ears Roman's and giant flaming eagle was burning Greeks and Romans alike.
