Devil May Cry Olympus Titans Curse
ESKK: Time to begin the 12 Chapter people so do enjoy what it offers.
(Start Desert the following Morning)
The entire town was gone when the group woke up in their campsite the next morning. They were still in the desert and towering before them was the Junkyard from before. By the looks of it now the entire place was giving off energy similar to Patty who knew it well.
Of course Percy had been given a warning when he had met with Aphrodite before. "So don't touch anything there right?" Evan asked as he figured it was like Aladdin and the Cave of Wonders in that regard.
"That's what Aphrodite said." Percy said but Kat wasn't buying it too much. The reason the town was gone was because they had woken in the middle of the Junkyard itself and needless to say none of them wanted to be here longer then they had to.
"The Goddess of Love would not make a special trip to tell thee that. Be careful, Percy. Aphrodite has led many heroes astray." Zoe said as both Kat and Thalia had similar thoughts.
"For once I agree with Zoe," Thalia said likeminded with Zoe on this regard. "You can't trust Aphrodite." Thalia added as Patty looked to Kat with concern knowing Aphrodite was her mother after all.
"Aren't you going to defend her?" Patty asked but Kat shrugged in response to such a question.
"Not like she's wrong." Kat said but Dante decided to voice the topic of his visit from Aphrodite.
"Well considering Aphrodite tried to get into my pants you're not wrong." Dante said to which all eyes were widened by this.
"Wait back up what?!" Calisto asked shocked as she looked to her father.
"And thou had declined her offer?" Zoe asked shocked to hear this.
"Hey Succubus's make better offers then her." Dante said surprising the group to no end.
"Does thou not comprehend thy actions? To decline a God or Goddess is to invite travesty upon thyself!" Zoe yelled as she looked to Dante both impressed with how he turned Aphrodite down flat and worried about her inevitable retaliation.
"That's why I had Rodin record everything, she try's something that goes viral." Dante said showing his battle with Ares was also blackmail material. If Aphrodite tried something all she would get is mutually assured destruction for all parties involved. "As much as Aphrodite could easily take over Olympus with words alone, she is a total attention whore for her beauty." Dante added and thus Zoe saw what Dante did and smirked to the Half-Breed.
"Clever." Zoe said admitting that Dante had the right idea.
"I know." Dante said with a cocky smirk on his face.
"So anyone bring a map on how to get out of this place?" Evan asked as they looked around.
"The only way we can get out is by walking." Zoe said to which she had one warning to give to everyone in the area. "Don't touch or take anything from this place." Zoe urged as she looked to the group.
"Well in that case." Dante said as he then took something from his person and passed it around. "Here are some ear pieces in case we get separated use them." Dante said but Zoe begged to differ on this.
"No we cannot, Monsters would use this to track us down!" Zoe yelled as Dante for such use of mortal devices.
"Normally yes but these things are custom made you can thank Rodin, Hephaestus, and Lady for these things." Dante said to which meant that if the two smiths made this then they accounted for being tracked down through the communication devices.
"Well if we must." Calisto said and thus one by one they each took a piece and put it to their ears making sure it was properly secured on them.
Once Evan was sure his ear piece wouldn't fall off he got straight to work. "Great no problem then let's move." Evan said as he was already moving out as this place gave him a bad feeling about the situation.
As they moved Calisto stopped as she looked to the junkyard with concern. "You ok Calisto?" Bianca asked noticing how Calisto looked worried.
"I don't know something about all of this just seems wrong." Calisto said while looking at the Junk Yard towering before them. "All we have to do is walk through and not touch or take anything it just seems too easy." Calisto said as she was suspicious of such a thing.
"Angels or Demons?" Bianca asked as she looked to the Tri-Breed Umbran Witch Daughter of Artemis with a look of concern.
"Both." Calisto said before she walked in hopefully to be ready for whatever it is that's waiting for them inside.
(Later inside the Junkyard)
The group was seen with weapons drawn as they walked through the Junk Yard. "You know they saw a lot of bad things happen in a lone junkyard in the middle of the desert." Evan said as he walked through the area with his weapons ready to use here.
"If thou intend to scare us little brother, then thy best try harder." Zoe said and thus Evan laughed a bit to that one.
"Challenge accepted, after all you just called me little brother." Evan said as Zoe heard this and opted to ignore Evan. "Am I growing on you big sis Zoe?" Evan taunted to which Zoe looked ready to strangle Evan but left it be.
"Hah!" Thalia laughed and thus Calisto decided to step in.
"Speaking of families, since Artemis is Zeus daughter and Zeus is your dad, Thalia." Calisto began as she walked close to Thalia. "Doesn't that make you mine and Evan's aunt?" Calisto taunted a bit and thus Thalia realized what Calisto did there.
"Yeah that's right, I guess you need to get used to being called Auntie Thalia." Patty laughed and thus Thalia began to glare at the group.
"Yeah Auntie, you got about two maybe three cabins worth of nieces and nephews you owe gifts to." Evan laughed and thus Zoe rolled her eyes to this.
"Shut up!" Thalia yelled as she hated being made into the butt of the joke right now.
"Look guys can we just be quiet this place gives me the creeps." Grover said and in turn they were soon met with Corvus who landed on Kat's waiting arm.
"Hey guys I think I got a route we can take, I'll lead the way but be careful something about this place is making me molt." Corvus said as he looked to the group here.
"Yeah good to know." Evan said as he wanted to get out of here as much as everyone else did.
While they were walking Percy then heard movement from nearby and began to grow worried over it. He then looked to the source and saw a large tower of junk beginning to shift and moan. "Uh guys you better look out." Percy began as he pointed to the leaning tower. The group looked and thus all went wide eyed at what they saw happening.
The tower of random junk began to tip before it began falling to the ground. As it fell everyone scattered and ran to avoid being crushed by the falling debris. When the tower fell it caused dust to blow out around them obscuring everyone's vision there. Coughing fits was heard as they were blinded by the dust and coughing from the dust that got into their lungs from the towers crash.
Evan was the first to come too as he began to look around for the others. "Percy!?" Evan called out as he began to notice several people were missing after this entire event went down. "Thalia?" He asked looking around for his currently missing aunt. "Zoe Calisto?" He added and thus he then heard a new voice calling him out.
"Evan!" Kat called out and thus Evan looked and saw Kat exiting the dust coughing a bit of it herself.
"Kat thank goodness you're ok." Evan said happy to see that at was alive and well.
"What happened?" Kat asked as she looked to Evan with concern over what happened.
"Shit happened that's what." Evan said as he helped Kat to her feet before going to the earpiece Dante had passed out to them earlier. "Hey guys if you're alive say something." Evan said as he contacted the other members of their current quest group.
It didn't take long for Evan to get a response as Zoe was the first to response. "We are well Evan." Zoe said as Evan heard this. "But currently Dante, Kathrine, and Patty are unaccounted for." Zoe said as she called in on the group.
"Kat is with me so that means Dad and Patty are still MIA." Evan said as he expected them to speak up soon.
Evan didn't have to wait long as Patty spoke up. "Hey we're ok, I'm with Dante right now." Patty confirmed and in turn everyone was accounted for.
"Ok try to regroup we need to start making our way out of here." Evan said and thus he looked around. "Just pick a path and try and head torts the opposite side from where the sun had set." Evan said figuring it was the best shot they had.
"Understood/Ok." Zoe and Patty both said and thus the link ended between then three groups.
"Just you and me for now Kat." Evan said as he looked to Kat who nodded.
"Yeah." Kat said and thus the two headed off side by side as they went to find the exit.
(Meanwhile with Percy's Group)
"Come we best make haste." Zoe said as she then headed off leading the group but as they left Percy felt off somehow.
"Are you ok Percy?" Thalia asked as she looked to Percy.
"Yeah… it's just well ever since I got involved with Angels and Demons I've gotten this whole sixth sense on me for it and right now it's going off and I don't know why." Percy said as he looked to Thalia who understood what Percy meant.
"Keep your eyes peeled." Thalia said and in turn left and oddly enough Calisto and Bianca were oddly silent. Upon closer inspect through the eyes of those with the ability one can see that Calisto and Bianca had Halos over their heads no doubt imposters who stepped in during the chaos. So if the Imposters were here then where were the real Calisto and Bianca? The Angels then proceeded to follow the group intent to locate Tyr or to draw out the holder of the Left Eye.
(Meanwhile with Calisto and Bianca)
Calisto and Bianca began to come to as Calisto rubbed her head a bit. "Ow." Calisto said as she got up while shaking the cobwebs from her head.
"Thank the Gods you have a healing factor." Bianca said as she looked over to her friend.
"Yeah doesn't stop soreness though." Calisto said as she got up and then noticed something not right. "Um Bianca just to be sure we're alive and well right?" Calisto asked and thus Bianca was confused.
"Um yes we are… oh." Bianca said as she saw what Calisto saw and that was their friends walking off with two imposters accompanying them.
"We need to hurry." Calisto said but before they could Angelic beams appeared blocking their path and the only way to get through them… was in Purgatory. "Dammit." Calisto cursed and thus the two Witches went into action to fight.
*Insert Bayonetta OST: The Falling Military Transport
The two then opened a portal into Purgatory and began to chase after their doubles to save their friends from a trap they were being lead into. As the two Witches went after the fakes with their friends through Purgatory they jumped and avoided laser shots from vents the Angels no doubt set up to get in their way. The way they moved was like something of a spy movie their abilities and flexibilities allowed them to weave and bob their way through the lasers.
The way they moved it was almost divine art even as they made their way through. The Sun glistening off their forms as they moved only magnified the beauties the Umbra Witches held. As they continued to move they knew they had to rescue their friends before they ended up in a terrible situation due to the angels. But the closer they got the more it the Angels tried to stop them as the lasers began to move around them.
Luckily Calisto and Bianca managed to avoid them with ease. They two witches ended up arriving at a larger area to chase after the Angels who tricked their friends. They in turn nodded to each other both sharing a silent plan with each other to kill the angels. The two then began to open a portal back to Chaos to save their friends from the Angel.
*End OST
(Back with Percy's Quest group)
As the group continued to move they were then blindsided by the sound of a gunshot that pierced Bianca's head killing her instantly. "Bianca!" Zoe cried out only to be stopped by Percy.
"Unhand me you!" She began but Percy cut her off.
*Insert Bayonetta OST: Sexy Battle
"Look!" Percy called out and thus when Zoe looked she was wide eyed to see that Bianca and Calisto were there with Calisto holding her smoking gun post firing. The group then looked to the two Calisto's and in turn Bianca began to move.
"Get back!" Bianca called out and thus she used her wicked weave to slam her contract demons hand down to split the two sides up. This in turn left the two Calisto's as the group then noted the fake had a halo over her head once they began to focus on the two. The two Calisto's glared at each other daring the other to make the first move.
The fake then chased after the group only to have the original stand in her way. The two glared at each other and thus began to have a contest to prove to the others who's fake and who's real. The Calisto with the halo over her head went first as she performed a few movements with her arms before doing a spin. She ended it with a small bow no doubt looking attractive when she did so.
Calisto scoffed and thus performed a move her old teacher Bayonetta showed her. She started it by hiding her head behind her right arm that was held behind her with her gun in said hand. With a few more moves Calisto struck a pose with her head turned to the Angel while her body faced away from her foe. She had one leg moved forward to help show off as the guys who would see this saw this as some sort of dick measuring contest.
The Angel in turn tried to move again as she was trying to look as sensual as possible. But she was then cut off by Calisto who moved her body to the ground as Grover and Percy could not get their eyes off the scene. Bianca, Thalia, and Zoe of course rolled their eyes to the guy's antics here. That was of course at least until Calisto ended her move by laying on her side and lifting her right leg straight up causing pink smoke and confetti to go off behind the Tri-Breed.
*End OST
*Insert Bayonetta 2 OST: Tomorrow is mine
Glaring at her foes the two Calisto's went at each other thus beginning their duel against each other. They began firing their guns at each other in an attempt to best the other. As they did so they jumped and avoided each other's bullets their moves mirroring each other perfectly.
They then started using kicks at each other trying to overpower the other. But Calisto knew herself better than almost anyone on the planet did. She knew all of her own strength but the Tri-Breed also knew her own weaknesses. They continued to fight until Calisto dodged a spin kick at her head. The gun went off as expected and when Calisto ducked under it she performed an upward kick. The attack sent her foe flying up and back a few feet before Calisto stood back up smirking at her downed foe.
"Boy do I hate knock offs and swag stealers." Calisto taunted as she sighed not even bothering to glare at her angelic foe. "No class and no style of their own always the disappointment." Calisto said as she knew there was a smart ass comeback there somewhere here.
*End OST
*Insert Bayonetta OST: Angel Descend 2
The Angel got back up and in turn decided to take the kid gloves off. The false Calisto began to strike a pose as she was soon on the ground in a sitting position with her legs spread. She had a let that went up between her legs using her hand before she caressed her breasts and in turn her form change. From this Calisto produced the Book of the Laguna and in turn turned to the page with the Angel. The Angel's form was similar to a Joy as but clearly more evolved.
From what Calisto understood this new angel may be the upper apex of the Angel known as Joy. From there she began to read the Angel's name as she saw it had more advance version of the Joy's attacks making it more like an Umbra Witch.
"Fifth Sphere: Euphoria."
*End OST
Once Calisto was done she closed the book with an audible snap and in turn took a battle stance. The Tri-Breed Umbra Witch was ready to do battle and in turn went to the fight.
*Inserts Bayonetta OST Riders of the Light
The Angel then went on the attack as she went after Calisto intended to cause the Tri-Breed harm. The battle had begun as Calisto and Euphoria began to do battle against each other. As they continued
Calisto was forced to dodge whip like attacks from the Angels feather hair. No doubt some cheap knock off of her Wicked Weave.
"Why must the bad guys always mimic their betters?" Calisto asked as she then kicked Euphoria with a double heeled shot kick. Euphoria flew back only to be joined by several more. "Then again they say copying someone is the greatest form of endearment." Calisto said as she looked to her foes.
The multiple Angels came at Calisto and in turn the Tri-Breed Umbra Witch smirked at her foes ready to fight. She then spun between them and fired her guns using Witch Time as she did so. The Tri-Breed slid on her knees before she appeared on the other side with her left leg spread out, her left hand on the ground, and her right arm stretched outward like her leg.
Witch Time ended and the Angels were each hit by the bullets sending them back. In response Calisto pulled out her twin blades and began to hack and slash her foes. As she did so the Angels blood flew out staining the ground as she fought through the angelic fuckers. Calisto continued her assault on them showing them what for as she dodged and avoided each of their attacks easily. As she did this she decided to go for an old classic and began using her Torture Attacks on the Euphoria's that were attacking her.
The Angels all came at Calisto as she got to work. She invoked a spell and created an iron maiden where on Angel flew straight into it before it closed on her. The Angel died instantly and painfully from all the spikes going through her. Once that was done Calisto saw another one coming at her and opted to use a new Torture Attack she had been working on. "Come here baby." Calisto taunted and thus the Angel roared and went for the attack. Calisto then caused a flash that blinded everyone in the area with demonic power.
When they regained their vision they saw a demonic bathtub and the Angel in some kind of glass case with Calisto next to the tub. She held a rope of some sort and for Percy he began to put the pieces together. "Is she going to?" Percy asked and thus Calisto pulled the robe with a slight tug.
A plate pushed down on the Angel but not enough to crush it before she lightened her grip pulling it back up. The Angel began to hit the glass trying to break out but to no avail. Calisto had a sadistic grin on her face as she continued the process two more times until she left the Angel laying at the bottom of her prison. She then decided to end it up pulling down hard and thus the Angel was crushed in the container. From the bottom its blood pooled out into the tub in a horrific show of gore fit for horror movies.
The last Euphoria came at Calisto intended to kill her but the Umbra Witch was too fast for the foe. She dodged and avoided the Angels attack as she got ready to use one last Torture Attack on the angel. Calisto then kicked the Angel in the side before summoning the torture horse to battle.
When Euphoria got up and saw it she went wide eye and tried to run away. But alas it would be for not as Calisto swung a chain down on her and pulled her to the riding Horse where she was tied down to it. Once Euphoria had her crotch on the spiked edge Calisto pulled down as the Angel moaned and cried out in agony from Calisto's torture over. Eventually her body could not handle it and thus Euphoria became a smeared bloody mess on the device as she was torn through in half.
*End OST
Calisto smirked and dusted of her hands and thus walked over to the group. "Calisto…" Percy began but Calisto cut him off with a hand to the face.
"How did you not know that was a fake?" Calisto asked glaring at Zoe.
"My apologies but I was hoping you'd be quiet for a time." Zoe confessed as she was actually hoping Calisto would give her a moments of peaceful silence.
"Next time focus." Calisto said and thus she led the group to hopefully find the exit. They began to make their way through the Junk Yard hoping to find a way out.
(Meanwhile over with Evan and Kat)
Evan and Kat were seen walking through the junkyard as they looked for a way out without bringing the whole place down atop of them. "Well this place is a goddamn maze." Evan said as he and Kat made their way through the junkyard. "You sure the bird knows where we're going?" Evan asked with suspicion over this little trek.
"Positive he hasn't let us down yet." Kat said as she had total faith in Corvus as they followed his lead. Corvus was currently up in the air gliding as he led them through the infamous Junkyard of the Gods.
"Yeah great." Evan sad as he had Jekyll and Hyde pointed out at any target that may pop up nearby. "But as the old saying goes there's always a first time for everything." Evan said as he felt something was off about this place here.
"There something bothering you Evan?" Kat asked as she looked over to Evan with worry.
"Yeah it's too quiet out here." Evan said as he looked around for possible dangers. "Normally the quiet is always the prelude for shit happening." Evan said as he had enough experience to know that he needed to be careful.
"I see what you mean." Kat agreed as she had been through similar stuff also.
Just then the two stopped as they heard movement from nearby. They tensed up and looked ready to fight as Evan then saw a small creature run off. From closer inspection it was a rat and in turn Evan holstered his weapons rolling his eyes.
"I think we're a bit on edge." Kat said as she saw the creature run off.
"Maybe, or maybe bad things tend to happen in the dessert at night." Evan responded as he and Kat continued on with their trek.
"Son of the Moon goddess you'd know." Kat joked to which Evan rolled his eyes and followed after the medium.
"Says the love child of the love goddess." Evan retorted to which Kat glared playfully at Evan.
"Ok Evan, touché." Kat retorted knowing Evan had her on that particular quip. Still this place seemed a bit too easy for them as they knew anything and everything thrown here had to stay here. They never know what Patty's father had built that is deemed too dangerous.
Just then Evan heard movement and sighed as he looked to where it came from. As this happened he saw something large show up much to Evan's amusement. This guy was not a demon but he was on the large side. Evan walked over and thus gave the guy a look over with a smirk. "Well don't they grow'em where you come from." Evan said as he looked to the giant of a man before him.
"So you are the famous Son of Artemis and that bastard Dante." The man said as he glared at Evan sensing a familiar power from the large foe. "I had thought you older when we met previously, most strange." The man said as Evan was at a lost here.
"Met previous, dude get your head checked this is the first time we're meeting." Evan countered as he looked to the man before him.
"The same cocky attitude, do not take me for a fool though I knew not what you were back then in this era I do." The man said as this just left Evan at a lost.
"Buddy I think you're confusing me for my sister assuming you met her already." Evan said as he glared at the foe before him. "But let's get the explanations in order this." Evan began as he gestured to the area for the situation. "Is the FIRST time we're meeting, so either you got a fucked up head or your just dumb." Evan said while he pointed at the new arrival. "Any questions?" He asked showing he was taunting the giant.
"Perhaps a head injury has clouded your thoughts." The man said still not believing Evan. "Very well I'll humor you this time, I am Orion a former Hunter of Lady Artemis and the man who rightfully deserves her heart unlike your bastard of a father." Orion said as Evan heard the name before.
"Orion son of a hunter, rebelled against his giant parent, joined my mom's hunt, got shot by Apollo into madness, got killed, and then kept coming back as a monster of some sort." Evan said as he walked to the side spinning Hyde in his hand while doing so. "Anything I'm missing?" Evan asked as he looked to Orion who glared at Evan.
"The same as before skip the monologue and go straight for the battle." Orion said as he drew his own weapon, a massive sword, and got ready for battle.
"Well talk to my friends I do hate monologues." Evan said as he taunted Orion trying to egg him into a fight or to turn his ass around and start walking. "But as far as I see it you only have two options you can either stay here and fight which end with you getting your ass kicked by me or you can turn you fat ass around and walk away while you still can and take what dignity you have on you, toga boy." Evan taunted and this in turn caused Orion to snarl at the Tri-Breed before him.
"I suppose I should be thankful Artemis denied her love for me." Orion said and thus drew forth his weapon for battle. "At least I know you're not my bastard." Orion said and thus Evan mad a 'bring it on,' gesture with his right index and middle fingers to Orion. Orion in his rage roared out and charged at Evan causing bot Evan and Kat to jump out of the way to avoid his attack.
The battle began as Evan started off with firing off Jekyll and Hyde at Orion. While he did this Corvus came in as Kat sent him out to attack Orion. The Demon Bird flew around Orion sending off bolts of lightning as he attacked but despite this it was clear Orion wasn't one to be taken lightly in this battle. Orion went for Evan of course but Evan switched over to Leo and blocked Orion's attack on the young Tri-Breed. Once that was done Evan pushed Orion back and proceeded to send a flurry of punches at Orion's torso area.
This did some damage as Evan then sent one final punch that sent Orion flying back a few feet away. Just then from nearby Fenrir came in and began biting into Orion in an attempt to maul the ancient hunter. Orion eventually managed to get Fenrir and in turn throw him aside only for Fenrir to be caught by Furfur. Once Furfur caught Fenrir he gently put him down before moving his body and attacking Orion. Orion of course found himself unable to fight off the slime like creature who in turn created a path for Kat to travel on. Kat then ran over at Orion and slashed at him with her short sword in the facing causing him to cry out in pain from it.
Following it up Kat went for his torso and used her shotgun to blast at Orion's torso causing him even more pain for it. As Orion stumbled back Evan came in and slashed at him with his Elysium going for as many attacks as he can lay in on his moms supposed ex-boyfriend here. Once that was done Evan jumped back and just in time to avoid Orion's next attack on the young Tri-Breed. Orion slammed his fists down on Evan before getting some distance when Evan avoided the attack. Orion then went for his bow and began firing it off at Evan. Evan of course avoided the attacks as he bobbed and weaved through them all with ease.
Once that was done Evan regrouped with Kat who blocked another arrow with her buckler before pointing her sword at Orion. This was the signal for Furfur, Fenrir, and Corvus to all attack the foe to which they did so without question. As they began attacking Orion he was being ganged up on by the three demons who were proving to be difficult to handle. This went on for a bit as Orion then took his sword and swung it around causing the three to fall back from the foe.
Evan in turn took the chance to charge in and began a sword fight with Orion using Elysium to do so. As they continued to do battle Evan kicked Orion in his stomach and then slashed at his chest causing some damage to the man. Once that was done Evan held Elysium at the way and went for his stinger move in Orion. Seeing this Orion blocked with his sword and thus parried Evan away. Evan of course went back to using Leo and then performed a drop kick on Orion after blasting off from a pile of godly junk. When the attack hit Orion Evan kept the advantage going and began using fast and deadly attacks on Orion to help bring down this foe. Once that was done Evan back flipped away from Orion and then regrouped with Kat. Once the Son of Artemis and Daughter of Aphrodite regrouped they smirked to each other ready for what came next. Evan then saw Orion firing off more arrows to which Evan parried them with Elysium and in turn crouched down. Doing this Kat came in and jumped over Evan before sending Corvus to attack Orion for her. Once that was done she blocked attacks from Orion with her Buckler before Evan jumped over and fired off his guns at Orion.
Once Evan's part finished Corvus fell back and gave Kat and Evan cover as Kat jumped over and sent Fenrir out next to attack Orion. As Fenrir proceeded to maul Orion as he cried out in pain only for gun fire to go off. It was shown Evan was firing his guns once more after jumping over Kat as they clearly had momentum built up. Kat then had Fenrir call back and as she went over Evan she sent out Furfur to attack Orion again. Once he got to Orion however Furfur wrapped his body around Orion and restrained him giving Evan and Kat the opening to finish this fight.
Evan and Kat then charged at Orion and thus Kat got to Orion first. She stabbed her sword into Orion's chest before firing off her shotgun once she got the sword out of him. Following it up was Evan as he proceeded to slash through Orion coming out the other side just after Furfur released the man stalking his mom. Once this was done Orion stumbled forward and glared at Evan in contempt as the Tri-Breed stood over him. "Again you best me." Orion snarled as he glared at Evan.
"Again? Dude this is literally the first time we met." Evan said as he glared down on Orion.
"Heh maybe this is the first time you met me… but not the first time I met you." Orion said as he glared at Evan in contempt.
"Jesus fuck it I'm ending this." Evan said as he pointed Jekyll at his foe.
But before that could happen something strange happened. From out of nowhere the duo was attacked and thus from around them monsters showed up snarling and roaring at the duo. "The fuck!?" Evan asked as he glared at them.
Of course they were easy enough to deal with for Evan and Kat and in turn made quick work of them. But by the time they were done Orion was gone. Evan seeing this glared a bit only to notice a piece of paper seemingly glowing. Evan walked over to pick it up and began to read what it had written.
"We'll meet soon –Niobe."
That was it and for Evan that just set red flags off in his head. But right now they had other stuff to do and they had to focus on it. "Now what?" Kat asked as she looked to her friend.
"We keep moving." Evan said and thus the duo got moving to their intended destination.
(Later over with Calisto's group)
As Calisto's group continued on it seems they were having a better time with things. Hardly any more angels had popped up to attack and the few that did were dealt with Calisto and Bianca. They haven't found the others yet so it was still just Calisto, Bianca, Zoe, Percy, and Grover travelling through the Junkyard of the Gods. As they continued on down the path Percy felt something was off about this place as he couldn't put his finger on it without Annabeth's help.
"Nervous?" Calisto asked as she was walking next to Percy.
"Kind of it's just strange after everything we've been through thus far." Percy said as he looked to his friend.
"Yeah well that's my every day, when you think you've seen it all life throws a curveball from left field." Calisto said as she walked next to Percy as the Quest group kept traversing the infamous Junkyard of the Gods.
"Yeah no kidding." Percy said as he was in agreement with the young Tri-breed Witch.
"Look." Bianca called out when she noticed something from afar. The group looked and saw the main road was just up ahead and somehow they all made it through unscathed.
"The main road we made it." Zoe said as she saw the main road stretching out before their very eyes.
"But where are Evan, Patty, and Kat?" Grover asked noting they were still missing.
"And Dante." Percy added as he looked to the group.
"They are probably waiting on us." Zoe said as she got ready to move out again.
"But what if they're not." Percy asked as he looked to Zoe wanting a straight answer from Artemis trusted lieutenant.
"If they're not we come back in and find them." Calisto said and thus Zoe went wide eyed to this.
"We cannot, Artemis needs us." Zoe argued as she looked to Calisto.
"Yeah well my father and brother need me so mom is going to have to wait." Calisto argued as she glared at Zoe daring her to argue against her on this one.
"Heroes die on quests all the time." Zoe shot back and thus Calisto glared at her.
"And that leaves mortal parents mourning for their lost young while the Olympians shrug it off and move on." Calisto said as she was starting to get annoyed with Zoe. "Not like the Olympians can do things humans are unable to." Calisto said and thus Zoe went wide eyed to this.
"Excuse me?" Zoe asked and thus things were about to get heated.
"Uh hey girls um." Percy began but Calisto ignored him and just kept going with her rant.
"Just saying facts, the Olympian had faded before and humanity went along just fine without them." Calisto said as she glared at Zoe for this. "Kicker is humans are already capable of building things and the Gods had NOTHING to do with them. I hope the Olympian council is listening in because news flash… the gods claim humans need them but that's bullshit it's the other way around they need humans but humans DON'T need them." Calisto said and thus thunder boomed from afar suggesting Calisto stepped on a mine with her words alone.
"Wow Calisto too far." Grover jumped in but Zoe had enough of Calisto's blasphemy.
"You must not say such things!" Zoe urged as she was getting angry herself.
"Yeah keep blasting grandpa its facts humans existed well before you guys did and we'll be around long after you're gone to boot!" Calisto said as she could already see it. "See humans have already began deep see exploration and space exploration Zeus is losing control of the skies and as humanity progresses the Olympians lose their power over them. It's inevitable I'm only helping with the Titan problem because it would be a problem for humans, the Olympians need humans to survive as do the Titans. Eventually humanity will evolve to a point that the Gods curses and pettiness won't mean jack shit anymore." Calisto went on as the thunder boomed further. "Hell they hardly mean much right now, eventually humans will get to a point where the Gods Domains will be ruled by them and when that happens bye-bye Gods." Calisto said as the way she suggested it showed she knew Olympus enemies won't be able to succeed in destroying the Gods that was humanities role.
"Well looks like someone has some issues they need to work out." Evan's voice was heard suddenly and in turn the group all looked and saw Evan and Kat had made through the junk yard. "Though not like I disagree with her points." Evan said as he jumped down and regrouped with the others. Grover gave Evan and Kat a sniff while Percy looked at Evan with suspicion over him.
"What?" Evan asked as he looked to his friend showing he was a bit uncomfortable.
"Evan what was the first thing you did when Percy woke you up for the first time?" Calisto asked as she looked to Evan.
"Punched him in the face why?" Evan asked and thus Calisto sighed to her twin brother.
"Because we had two angels impersonating me and Bianca earlier." Calisto confirmed and thus Evan totally understood on that one.
"Well to bad for you guys… I'm a fake!" Evan said with a deeper voice and a maniacal laugh.
"Yeah it's him no one can do that stupid but him." Calisto said walking away only to shoot Evan in the forehead.
"Gauh son of a bitch!" Evan cursed and thus Calisto smirked to this one.
"That also prove it." Calisto added with a cocky smirk while her twin brother removed the bullet from his forehead.
"Calisto what did I say about shooting your brother?" Dante was heard as he and Patty came in next.
"Not to do it unless it was funny." Calisto added and thus Dante nodded to this.
"Huh as badass as he is, I'm sure damn glad mom didn't hook up with Dante." Percy said as even if Dante was an improvement over Gabe he was still nuts to the Poseidon boy.
"Look let's just go already ok." Patty said as she was ready to head out.
"No arguments there." Kat agreed as they needed to continue on with their current quest.
But soon as they reached the edge of the junkyard one by one they departed the line. All was well until they got to Bianca who strayed behind the group. When she began to leave the junkyard the entire place began to shake violently as mounds of junk began to tumble and fall over. As this happened the group were wide eyed in shock over what was currently going on.
"Earthquake!" Patty cried out as she tried to find something to hold onto and keep her footing.
"All the way out here that doesn't make sense we're nowhere close to a fault line right now." Kat said as she tried to keep her footing also.
"Look the Junk Mountain is falling!" Patty cried out as the group looked and saw that it was as she said… or so they thought.
"No it's not falling." Zoe said as she realized what was really going on here. "It's standing up." Zoe said and in turn the group were met with the sight of a massive automaton towering over them.
"Is that?" Calisto began as Evan then had a sadistic grin on his face.
"Talos right?" Dante said as he looked at the massive machine before him. "Heh almost reminds me of the Savior… almost." Dante said as he was taunting the giant robot towering over him. Just then Talos swung down his weapon upon them only for Dante to act and used Rebellion to stop the attack. Dante then yawned into his hand a bit not even bothered by the sudden attack. He then pushed Talos back and then sheathed Rebellion again.
"I almost forgotten how powerful you were." Zoe said as she looked to Dante shocked at what he just did. "But alas it is not over yet." Zoe said as Talos began to stand back up. "Someone must have taken something who was it?" Zoe asked as she looked to Percy.
"Hey don't look at me I didn't do it." Percy defended as he had Riptide ready to fight Talos. "Why do I always get blamed for this stuff?" Percy asked and thus Grover saw the next attack coming.
"Guys argue later take cover!" Grover called out and thus Talos attacked again causing the group to scatter away from him. Talos swung down his sword parting the two groups as one comprised of Percy, Evan, and Calisto while the other had Kat, Zoe, Patty, and Dante.
"Well if taking shit from this junkyard was what set Metallo here off how about we put it back?" Evan asked as he had his guns out for battle.
"It won't work why do you think Hephaestus abandons his broken creations here?" Zoe asked and thus Evan got the gist of the problem here.
"Got it defective robot here." Evan said as he figured this would be the case.
The battle began as the group began to circle around Talos trying to find a way to beat him. Patty fired a rocket at Talos face but the attack did close to nothing to him. Following it up was Evan and Dante as they slashed passed Talos feet with Elysium and Rebellion. Thankfully the attacks mad gashes into robots armor but nothing to lasting there. Talos seeing what those swords can do acted fast and forced Dante and Evan away from him to avoid the weapons those two currently held.
Nearby Percy and Bianca regrouped as Calisto was nearby with Patty firing their guns at the massive foe before them. Bianca had something in her hand as she looked guilty over the item in question. "So much stuff… I didn't know." Bianca said as she looked upon the item she currently had in her hands.
"What are you talking about?" Percy asked and thus ducked when Evan was kicked by Talos and sent flying. As Evan flew he used his Ophion tool to tank himself back at Talos and punch him with Leo, The impacted knocked the giant robot back as Evan smirked over that. Once that was done Evan rejoined the fray as Percy and Bianca continued to talk.
Bianca showed to Percy a figure in her hand no doubt recently acquired from here. "I found it in the junk pile. It's not like anyone wanted it." Bianca said revealing she was the one who took something from here. "It's the only figure Nico doesn't have." Bianca said as she showed the small figure of Hades she had taken.
Just then Evan used Ophion tool to grab Calisto and proceed to throw her to Talos' face. Once she got close enough she used a Wicked Weave to slam Lady Astarte's fist into Talos face. Once that was done she fell back down only for Talos to act and kick Calisto causing her to cry out. What should have killed her only bruised thanks to her demonic healing factor from her grandfather Sparda. But when she landed Talos swung his sword down on Calisto causing her to go wide eyed to this.
"Calisto!" Evan cried out and thus Dante was on the move to aid his daughter.
But alas Dante wasn't fast enough as Talos swung his sword down on Calisto. In response Calisto blocked the attack with Lady Astarte's arms once again and thus shielded herself from the sword. When the sword hit Astarte's arms the clash created a shockwave and a crater as everyone was pushed back from it. Talos of course stood his ground and thus forced more power into the attack. Calisto gritted her teeth refusing to let herself be cut in two by this machine.
Just then Talos pulled back his sword and in turn went to kick Calisto upward. Going wide eyed Bianca charged in to help her Umbra Sister. "Calisto!" Bianca cried out before transforming into her panther form. She charged at her fellow Umbra Witch and thus when she got close enough Bianca pushed Calisto out of the way of Talos' attack. But in doing so she left herself open for attack and thus was kicked up into the air by Talos.
"Bianca no!" Calisto cried out a moment too late and thus they were forced to watch as Bianca was then grabbed by Talos before he slammed her down onto the ground. Once that was done Talos threw Bianca aside as she then hit the ground creating a crater doing so. Her body bounced from the impact and during it Bianca's soul flew out and landed not too far from where her body ended up landing.
Everyone was wide eyed to this as they had all be exposed to the Demonic stuff enough to be able to see what cannot be seen. To their shock they saw that Bianca's soul was split from her body and it didn't take long for Bianca to notice this as well. As she looked upon her own corpse she realized what this meant for her. The contract with Inferno must be acknowledge and thus a portal opened beneath her. From the portal Bianca was wide eyed in horror as demonic hands shout out and grabbed onto her and began pulling her in. Bianca by instinct struggled with all her might against it but the hands not only had a powerful grip but they multiplied to make sure she doesn't escape.
Bianca formed the contract and in turn upon her death her soul was Inferno's to take. And when one considered the number of people whom the Olympians had made suffer and are probably in Inferno it stands to reason that Calisto was in deep shit.
"No don't please DON'T!" Bianca begged as she was then dragged into Inferno.
"Bianca!" Calisto cried out and went for the portal but alas it was closed before she could even reach for her friend. As everyone stood there horrified over what they just witness a cold chill blew through the air as Calisto stood back up with her fists clenched tight and shaking also. "You bastard… you just made a huge mistake." Calisto said as her voice sounded savage. "AND NOW YOU MUST PAY!" Calisto roared out as she turned to face Talos revealing her eyes had a demonic red glow in them brimming with pure unbridled rage.
Roaring forth Calisto charged at Talos with the moon shining bright upon her. As Calisto charged she did so with a blast of speed with energy forming in her right hand. Once she got close she sliced through Talos with a new sword in her hands. Once she got through she roared out and entered her Devil Trigger form and continued to attack Talos. AS she kept passing by him everyone was forced to watch as Calisto split her new sword into two weapons and began to tear Talos apart bit by bit.
Talos was left helpless to stop her as she kept at it without remorse. The Demon inside her was enraged and Calisto had no problems letting it rampage. Dante on the other hand knew what was happening and began to approach his daughter. Soon Talos lost his feet and fell on his back in which Calisto proceeded to pin down the giant machine. In turn Talos struggled to get free but Calisto was tearing out his insides causing fluids and gears to fly out of the large hole, Calisto tore into his chest.
As Dante got closer he easily avoided the parts as Talos was currently motionless with the glow of his eyes no longer visible. Once Dante got to his Daughter he knew what was to come next. "Calisto." Dante began and thus Calisto roared and much to everyone's horror stabbed her own father in the chest.
"Dante!" Patty cried out only for Evan to stop her.
"No… let them." Evan said as he knew Calisto needed this.
Soon to their surprise Calisto's shoulders began to shake as it sounded like to their shock Calisto was crying. She then looked up to her father while reverting to her human form to show that she was in fact crying. Calisto removed the new sword from her father's chest not caring how his injuries were instantly healing once it was removed from his chest. Dante then hugged his daughter and began to rub her head as Calisto returned the hug.
"It's ok baby girl just let it all out." Dante said as he comforted his daughter over losing a dear friend. "Daddy's here… he's got ya." Dante said as he hugged his daughter.
"But… Devil's Never Cry." Calisto tried to keep to those words but Dante smiled a bit.
"Lady often said even a devil cries when they lose a loved one." Dante countered and thus Calisto just let it all out and kept crying.
Percy was shocked as he had never seen Calisto look so small so vulnerable before. It makes one wonder just how much the Twins bottle up deep inside themselves. Zoe was grateful as she knew if Calisto had kept on going… she feared none of them could stop the Tri-Breed Umbra Witch from rampaging. But now they had another problem which was currently Bianca.
"One shall be lost." Zoe said as she remembered the words of the Prophesy well.
(Scene Break Gates of Hell)
Thankfully there was a portal waiting for them and from it they all arrived at Rodin's bar, the Gates of Hell. So here they were gathered as Bianca was in a coffin of sorts looking peaceful despite where her soul currently resides at.
"So the Contract it's barred her from Heaven, Elysium, and the Underworld?" Zoe asked as she looked to Rodin. They had given her the run down about that portal and the hands that had taken Bianca's down into Inferno.
"Just about sums it up." Rodin said as he had a bottle in his hand and opened it up. "See when a Witch forms a contract with a Demon then it's for life and beyond." Rodin said as he began to poor the elixir onto Bianca to preserve her body as best he could, given the current circumstances. "So when that Witch dies… Inferno gets her soul for all eternity." Rodin finished and thus Zoe knew this was bad for a lot of reasons.
"Lord Hades won't be happy about this." Zoe said and thus Rodin knew why. Bianca was Hades daughter so the fact she won't appear in the Underworld would no doubt get Hades quiet crossed.
"She's not dead yet." Calisto suddenly said from the bar showing she had an idea. "You're only truly dead when your soul has been fully consumed by either Paradiso or Inferno." Calisto explained as if it was common sense.
"So there's a way to save her?" Percy asked as he looked to Calisto with some hope in his voice that they could save Bianca.
"Yes and it's time for Rodin to cough it up." Calisto said as she looked to Rodin who didn't seem at all bothered by the accusations. "Rodin we know that there are other Hell Gates in the world not just the Temen-Ni-Gru and the ones in Fimblebenter." Calisto said as she wanted the information on the locations of the closest Hell Gate that they can currently reach.
Rodin smirked as Dante wasn't too surprised about other Hell Gates. Those things are naturally made and close to impossible to utilize. What did surprised and worry him is Calisto asking about one of those thing. "Before I tell you I need to know, you sure you want to go down this path?" Rodin asked as he looked to Calisto needing her confirmation on this.
"What do you think, Rodin?" Calisto snapped as she took Bianca's Umbra Heart for this.
"Wait what?" Percy asked as he hoped Calisto wasn't planning to do what he think she was planning to do.
"I can't stop you from trying to use them and I'm sure your old man won't be able to stop you either." Rodin said as he knew how Calisto thought, if Dante said no then Calisto will just sneak off to do the task anyway. "Keep a strong grip on that Umbra Heart, it's the only thing that can bring Bianca home once you find her soul down there." Rodin said as he looked to the group.
"So you do know where I can find a Gate?" Calisto asked as she almost glared at Rodin.
"Heh I do, as humanity grew so did Inferno and Paradiso and but extension Limbo and Purgatory." Rodin explained as he offered a drink to Zoe and Dante who took the offered drink from him. "When that happened more Hell Gates and Heaven Gates began to form hidden within Limbo and Purgatory." Rodin continued as he looked to the group. "Finding them is hard but not so much as you may think. Just need to know where to look, its opening them that's the hard part." Rodin said knowing why it was difficult to open such ancient yet powerful devices.
"The closest one I can think of is in Hoover Dam just find a gate into Limbo and go down." Rodin finished and thus Zoe understood they were going that way regardless of Bianca's situation.
"So we part at the Dam and continue the quest while you go into Inferno to Save Bianca." Zoe said as it was just as the Prophesy foretold surprisingly enough.
"Calisto you can't do this." Percy said as Patty and Grover agreed with him.
"They're right." Evan said as he stepped in surprising the group. "That's why I'm going with." Evan said and thus everyone should have seen that coming from him.
"Evan, Calisto." Dante began as he looked to his kids.
"Oh what you're gonna try to stop us too dad?" Calisto asked and almost challenged her father on her decision here.
"No." Dante said surprising the group further. "But I am going to warn you, die down there and I'm coming in and dragging you both out kicking and screaming." Dante said and thus showed he had faith in them.
"Well Calisto if you're going on the highway to hell… you're going to need this." Rodin said as on the bar was the sword Calisto had summoned. "Its name is Catastrophe but when it's split in two it becomes Catastros and Raphe." Rodin said as he pushed the sword torts Calisto who took it. "Seems it's been waiting a good while for you to summon it." Rodin said presenting to Calisto her new sword for this quest. "So break those guns and you have a reliable backup for you to use." Rodin said as he looked to Calisto who picked up the sword and held it in both hands while giving the blade a proper look over.
"Come on we don't have much time to waste." Calisto said as she sheathed her new sword on her back and proceeded to head to the portal once more.
"She's right let's move people!" Evan added and thus Percy sighed to this.
"Jeez I swear those two are more reckless then I am." Percy said as he knew what people said about him. But he agreed as well no one gets left behind and he had to make sure for Nico's sake that Bianca made it home alive and well.
"Guys I hope you know what you're doing." Kat said as she looked over to both Evan and Calisto with concern for them.
"I ask myself that question every day." Evan said with a cocky smirk showing he was not afraid of what was to come. Sure the twins pissed off the Gods on a day to day basis but they knew humans had more power than the Gods could ever hope to truly have. Humans had the gift of free will and no matter what those Olympian jackasses say the Gods NEEDED humanity but humanity did not need the Gods. Evan and Calisto didn't even need to prove it because time in the end will show who was right and who was wrong. Though their mindset on humans vs gods would no doubt tick off a lot of Olympians but hey who gives a rats ass about what the Gods thought of the twins.
"Come on I have an Umbra Sister to save." Calisto said and thus the group all vanished into the portal one by one.
Eventually Rodin was left alone in his bar as he smirked to this while lighting a cigar. "Well this should get things interesting." Rodin said as he wondered if Calisto and Evan can do as Bayonetta and succeed in this insane task. Regardless Rodin looked forward to their continued business, after all how else was an artist supposed to practice his craft. Still he knew with that Lumen Sage Tri-Breed it was only a matter of time before Calisto and Tyr face each other once more.
(TBC)
