Previously on The Warrior: Champion of Hestia
James losing patience in his own tactics quickly rams his claws into the ground causing spikes of biomass to quickly shoot up impaling the hellhounds and enemy demigods.
James turns to Darkblade "Now it is time for the rest you wish for"
James leaps back shifting his claws back into his arms and unsheathes his katana from his back, his blade starts lightly glowing orange, he thinks to himself 'Hopefully my blade's now hot enough to cut through his armour cause if not then I'm gonna need to find a new way to smash through his armour'
James charges at Darkblade, he gets in close landing in several blows to the chest with his blade before leaping back, his blade losing the orange glow it had, James thinks 'Shit… I really should work on that if I live through this, best go defensive while I think of a new plan of attack'
Darkblade just stands before blurring out of sight, James quickly raises his blade in front his face just in time to block an attack from Darkblade, however the force behind the attack sends James flying backward.
James stands back up and pulls a card from his sleeve and announces "I activate Spellbinding Circle", intricate circular symbols appear beneath Darkblade and lock him in place, however cracks slowly start appearing in the symbols.
James swears in his head 'Bollocks, I've got to think of a plan and fast, it doesn't look like the trap card will hold him for long, all my sword strikes hit him the chest area, but they didn't do any damage however maybe if I keep pounding away at his chest, I'll be able smash through his armour' Having a moment to catch his breath, James observes what Darkblade attacked him with, with a raised eyebrow 'You have got to be fucking kidding me, he can give himself a blade arm? This shit just got a lot more difficult'
Noticing that his trap card is about to break, James sheathes his katana and brings his arms down in front of his chest. The spell shatters as the card reappears in James' sleeve but greyed out signifying that it cannot be used again for a period of time, slowly bringing his head up he calls out his attack "KAIOKEN" before disappearing and reappearing in front of Darkblade surrounded by a red aura, rapidly and repeatedly punching the same part of Darkblade's armour that he had struck with his sword. After a few seconds the aura fades and the tendrils surround James' arm changing it, but not into his traditional claws, these new arms were large and bulky almost like he had black boulders attached to his fist, using these arms James punches Darkblade in the chest again sending him flying across the cliff, cracks know visible in Darkblade's armour.
Now standing on opposite sides of the cliff, Darkblade's brings up his blade arm while James shifts his arms back to normal before they both charge forward and disappear to the hunter's trained eyes, however within seconds the air starts distorting, before both Darkblade and James reappear in the middle of cliff where James killed the mercs. Upon closer inspection, Darkblade has his blade arm embedded through James' chest, however James also managed to punch through Darkblade's mortally wounding him, slowly Darkblade removes his blade and suddenly drops to the ground with James looking down at him.
With a sad smile on his face James speaks out to Darkblade "You were the greatest opponent I have currently faced, I have given you the rest you so wanted, Rest in pea….." Darkblade suddenly reaches up and grabs hold of James' jacket and with rattled breath "My name is Raven Polus, and I know of your powers, so I ask that you let me pass before you consume me"
Raven lets go of James' jacket and lets his arm slowly fall down to his side before letting out his last breath, James continues his word from earlier "Rest in Peace Raven Polus, may the afterlife give you everlasting fortune" James stands up and brushes his hand over Raven's eyes closing them shut, he stands for a few more seconds before tendrils snake out of his body and into the wound on Raven breaking him down and consuming him until all that is left are guns and blood strewn across the snow.
James walks over to the remains of the mercs and starts to grab their assault rifles before he drops to the ground as tendrils encompass his right arm, twisting the flesh into a large double ended blade from his shoulder down (If you want to see the blade go to this link: prototype . wikia wiki / File:Hellerblade . png Just delete the spaces in the link, to my knowledge you can't post a complete link without the spaces)
James gives his new arm a few test swings, he looks at the blade and smirks "I can work with this" before his eyes widen as biomass starts gathering in his back slowly spreading across James mirroring his clothes covering them in the same bone-steel substance that Darkblade had as armor, however the look was different where Darkblade's was almost like a medieval knights armor, James' looked more like it was a suit of volcanic rock rather than bone, however the strange thing about is that it still had a hood that covered the head despite the helmet surrounding James's head. (Tried my best at describing Mercer's agile armor, here's a link as to how it looks: prototype . wikia wiki/File:P2_Alex_Armor_DLC_fr . jpg and for the hood, use your imagination)
James lifts up his blade arm and uses it to see his reflection observing his new armor, although it can't be seen the smirk on James' face turned into a happy smile.
James focuses on his armor retracting and his arm shifting back to normal and walks towards where what's left of the mercs are, and proceeds to grab an AK-47 and scours around for clips of ammo from the intact bodies. However he hears something that causes him to quickly look to the sky hearing the chopping of helicopter blades and then looking back to what he has in his hand as an idea forms in his head and a smirk forms on his face.
The helicopter comes into view, hovering above the cliff with its searchlight searching the area, James hiding in the shadows, pulls the pin from the grenade he looted and starts counting in his head '1…..2…..3' upon the third number James quickly throws the grenade at the chopper, the grenade smashing through the windscreen of the chopper and detonating causing shrapnel to be flung across the snow. However when the chopper impacted into the ground, the weapons on the chopper were still functional, the impact caused the missile launcher on the chopper to fire out a single missile which flies towards James blasting him off his feet and sending him flying backwards.
James slowly picks himself up and stares at the burning remains of his jacket, he sighs "Well, I hope that the new jacket I ordered comes soon, oh well I can't do jack shit right now"
Turning and walking towards the hunters, James stops and looks to the sky, and starts speaking "Apollo, get here now, I'm calling the favor you owe me to get us all out of here before people start investigating"
As soon the words are out of his mouth, the suns glows brightly until it becomes blinding, when the light fades away, standing there is the sun god Apollo with his sandy blonde hair and his annoyingly blinding smile, with his sun chariot which looked like a school bus
Walking up to Apollo and getting in his face "Apollo we don't have time for bullshit, just flashes us all to Olympus before the mortals come to investigate and we all find ourselves stuck in a country wide manhunt"
Apollo solemnly nods and clicks his fingers as all the hunters and their camp disappear along with himself and James leaving behind the stench of blood and death and destruction.
I think this is a good place to end the chapter, sorry about the constant switching between American and British spellings for some words, any way give me a review so I can see what I need to be a better fanfic writer
