I know I said we'd see Hades attack our world and Thor as the Amazons' prisoner, but it was asked if other Greek Gods would make it on here and though I initially chose to wait to bring them in until the end, I figured the gods would be wondering why their temples were being crushed on the island. So, let us see what the gods of the Greek Pantheon are wondering, shall we? Enjoy!

PS. Thor is a god, and the Asgardians are immune to all posions, radiation, etc., no doubt. But remember, Thor is in the DC Universe right now, meaning there's a whole new world of toxins he has no knowledge of, stuff that can very well bring down a god. Thought I'd make that note clear.

Interlude: Meanwhile on Olympus…

"ARES!"

The call of the King of the Gods is not something one-even Ares, God of War-would want to ignore. When Zeus calls, you answer if you value your very existence…or your insides staying inside. Poor Prometheus, the god mused.

Wondering why in the world Zeus had called him, Ares left his throne in a puff of fire and smoke and reappeared before the assembled might of the Olympian Pantheon. Zeus, Hera, Hermes, Apollo, Athena, Artemis, Aphrodite, Eros, Hypnos, Morpheus…even Poseidon came up from the seas of the mortals to be here. The only one missing was Hades, but that was a given.

"Dear family," Ares spoke in an unenthusiastic manner. "To what do I owe the…privilege of being called here?"

"Your mother," Zeus spoke, the fury in his voice unquestionable, "wants a few words with you, Ares."

Lazily, he turned his head to Hera. "Yes, mother?"

"Ares, Poseidon here tells me that something entered his kingdom on Earth, something that came from the direction of Themyscera. Do you wish to tell him what it was, brother?" Hera spoke, directing her question to the God of the Seas.

"It was a warrior…a MALE warrior, one that has never been seen from the mortals' Justice League."

Ares was really not interested. "And you tell me this because…?"

"WHAT MADNESS DO YOU PLAY AT ON THE HOME OF OUR AMAZONS, WAR GOD?!" Hera boomed, startling even Zeus. Ares frowned after regaining his composure.

"Mother, I have no idea what you're-"

"Themyscera has been devastated!" Artemis roared. "My temples and the temples of Athena, Hera and Aphrodite-the temples of the gods of Olympus have been destroyed! The beauty of its greenery is lost in flame, smoke and destruction! Our Champion herself is in battle to save the island from this abomination! WHAT ARE YOU HOPING TO ACCOMPLISH WITH-"

"Dear family, I'm going to be frank," Ares spoke sharply, now full interested. "Yes, I hate the Amazons; yes, I hate Hippolyta; yes, I hate Diana; and yes, I would like nothing more than to see them burn under the might of my hand. But I tell you now-I have no idea what is going on in Themyscera."

A bit shocked at Ares' words, Zeus was the first to speak up from the others. "He's being truthful; I can sense he is." Taking his hand, he formed a vision cloud and Ares could now see what the other gods meant. Before his eyes, the hate Amazon Champion was locked in a brutal, heavy and unforgiving battle with a warrior-a warrior the likes of which Ares had never seen before, and he knew why.

"Athena," Zeus spoke. "You, my daughter, are the Goddess of War. You and Artemis, Goddess of the Hunt, must know what that warrior is."

"I'm sorry, Father; Artemis nor I-"

"He is not of our dimension-or universe, as the mortals call it."

The other gods returned their focus to him. "Explain, my son," Hera commanded.

"I have seen and manipulated every conflict, every fight and every war the earth has ever seen-from arguments to bully fights on school playgrounds to full-fledged wars. I have seen every type of warrior there is to see. And I have never seen a warrior like that. I conclude he is not of this world. Also, you see the aura around him. Do you all know what that is?"

"We know what it is SIMILAR to, if that is what you mean," Athena spoke.

"It is not similar, sister-it is the same. That is an aura of divinity, of godhood. That warrior, it means, either had power of godly proportions…or is a god himself. And unless Olympus has welcomed a new god among the Pantheon without telling me, this warrior is from another universe."

"How did he get here to ours?" Apollo asked.

"I'm a war god, not an all-seer; figure it out, Apollo. Now if there is nothing else…" with that, Ares disappeared back to his dominion.

"My husband…" Hera spoke. "This…god, if that is what he is, a god from another world, another faith…if he defeats Diana and destroys Themyscera…what is to stop him from finding the way to Mt. Olympus itself?"

"I do not know, Hera," Zeus said as he watched the battle continue in the vision cloud. "I do not know."

Short, I know. Reviews and whatnot are always welcome.

Next chapter for sure will be the invasion and Thor being a prisoner.
