Chapter 31- The Ruling Battle Part 2- Helios Secret Rage

"Number one-sixty-five has turned the battle in his favor!" Rosia screamed into the microphone. "How will two hundred be able to turn the battle!"

I kept my gaze fixed on Helios. Zeus and I were the only ones who knew the trouble Helios was really in. She trapped him underground but being caught in his own fire will burn us all alive if he stays down there much longer.

---Helios POV---

"I will ask once more!" I screamed fighting the new growing vines wrapping around me. I'd burn the ones touching me but if I do much more nobody up there will be able to survive.

"Ask what? For me to lose?" I heard the first words from her voice was muffled.

"Take me out from underneath here or everyone will die. The only ones standing will be Elea Zeus and I."

"Your words cannot alter your loss. Admit defeat or you shall remain under the planets crust until the time is up."

Finally having enough I took a deep breath. I tried my best to keep my nerves calm before I remembered Cronus had taught me a physical move ages ago. I bit my lip and closed my eyes. I clenched my fist and counted to ten holding my fists ready. I managed to get my feet on top of the vines as I mentally said ten I kicked off as hard as my strength would allow me forcing the vines to shatter beneath my feet. I raised my fists and punched the ground above me and saw the daylight. As I crawled out of the whole I saw the witch standing there with complete shock on her face.

"I asked you nicely. I will not go easy anymore." I growled standing up. She held horror in her face as I ran towards her grabbing her throat.

"N-no!" She coughed between breaths.

"I've had enough OF YOU!" The words belted out of my mouth and I ran and threw her into the wall. I watched as the stone began to crumble around her body.

"Helios, that's enough." Elea grabbed my shoulder before I went to finish her off.

"She almost killed everyone here simply because she wished to win!" I grabbed her arm, as I grabbed her arm I watched the skin around where my hand sizzle like I was holing her arm on the surface of the sun.

"I know, but she did not. Ignorance is not an excuse but she had no idea the power that you held onto. Only you did. Zeus already called off the fight. He deemed her irresponsible and too incapable of controlling her emotions." She kept her eyes on me as if I was not torching her hand off her arm.

"I see." I let go of her arm and walked up the stairs to speak with Zeus.

"That was a bit intense but let's continue to the next match!" Rosia broke the silence filling the colosseum.

"Helios? What are you doing up here?" Zeus smiled as I sat next to him.

"Why'd to stop my match?"

"She was trying to win a battle that would have ended with an explosion killing everyone here. I deemed her irrisponsible for the position she was fighting for."

"That wasn't your place to decide that. She did not know of what would have happened."

"Yes she did. She has access to her third eye so she can see bits of her own future. She was reckless."

"Did you tell Elea?"

"No I have not. Elea would have jumped down there and interfered.

I looked down to see Elea carrying the witches corpse to the healing witches. Zeus was right with his course of action. I would have done the same.
