The Horsemen

Chapter 8

"Why are we here, Ria?" Izuku asked his older sister as he stared up at the mall's entrance. "I thought that we were going to have a family day? Not a 'have my little brother carry all my purchases' day."

Rias then used the weapon that makes all older brothers crumble like paper, the puppy dog eyes and Izuku said, "Must not look, must not look, must not look..."

Of course, Famine looked and he said, "Fine. Let's go."

Rias then smiled wide and said, "Yes! Come on!"

Shaking his head, Izuku followed his sister, and soon, his hands were full of bags filled with clothes and such.

"Hi," a voice said to Izuku and he turned around only to have his eyes widen and the bags dropping to the ground. "I'm Ochako Uraraka, but you know me as..."

Her eyes then turned white and she said, "Lilith. Hello Famine. How have you been the past 150 years?"

"I've been good," Izuku replied. "Looking for a way to fix what I've done to you like always."

"You know that there is no way to fix what has happened to me," Lilith replied as she walked around Famine her hips moving back and forth in a seductive motion. "But... You can teach me to suppress it. Doesn't that sound like fun?"

Izuku just looked at Lilith and asked, "Why her?"

"Because she's becoming my most powerful host," Lilith replied now in front of Famine. "Just as you are becoming the most powerful Famine that has existed on this plane."

"What is your endgame this time around, Lilith?" Izuku asked, his eyes narrowed.

"To see Olympus burn," Lilith replied with an evil grin. "Aphrodite herself told me to get out of my host so that she may make Ochako's life interesting, but I sealed myself inside of her permanently. No way I am getting out. Ochakois now immortal like you."

"So you decided to ruin her life?" Izuku asked, a scowl on his face. "She could have lived a life without you, but instead you ruin it. All for what? To meet me again?"

"She asked me to seal myself away inside of her, like a Sacred Gear so to speak," Lilith replied. "Once Ochakofound out what we could do, what she could do, she asked me to make us one."

"I find that very hard to believe," Izuku replied, his eyes narrowed. "Why would she want to become one with you?"

"Izu?" Rias asked as she walked up to him. "Who is this?"

"I'm Ochako Uraraka," Ochako replied, her eyes going back to normal. "You are?"

"Rias Jackson," Rias replied, her vibrant green eyes narrowing slightly. "What is your relation to my brother?"

'Brother?' Ochako thought before Lilith replied with, 'She the Horseman of Pestilence. Be careful around her.'

Before Ochako could speak, however, the sun was covered by a blood moon and Izuku's eyes narrowed and he said, "Vampire Queen is pissed."

"Most likely at her father," Rias started looking up at the sky. "I think we should get going, Izu. It was nice to meet you, Ocha."

"It was nice to meet you two!" Ochako called after them.

"Do you guys know what's going on?" Izuku asked as he and Rias ran into Percy's living room. "Where's Perce?"

"He just left in a cloud of death mist," Jaune replied, picking up a glass of scotch with his right hand. "I'm guessing he's heading to the point of origin of the Death Beacon."

"You think Artemis is calling Percy via Death Waves?" Rias asked with a raised eyebrow. "That's... Not possible. Only one of us can use Death Waves to call our brother."

"But Artemis is a Vampire, a creature of Death," Jaune replied, before taking a drink of his scotch. "And before you guys say that I can't drink, I can't get drunk. War's power burns through it practically immediately."

Rias rolled her eyes and said, "Whatever, let's just get to Percy and stop him from killing all of the Olympians."

"But is that really a bad thing?" Izuku asked his sister and brother to look at him and say, "Come on!"

The three then vanished into dust and appeared a little ways away from their brother and Zeus, instantly realizing that they were on Olympus, a Pagan Territory.

"Who are you mortal?" Zeus asked as his monstrous ex-daughter hid behind the eldest of the Horsemen.

Percy was silent, his dark green eyes never leaving Poseidon's bright sea-green eyes, and Zeus thundered, "Tell me who you are mortal!"

"I am he who governs over death," Percy stated, his eyes never leaving Poseidon's. "I am he who rides the pale horse. I am he who slays man and beast alike. Who am I?"

"What?" Athena asked.

"I am he who governs over death," Percy repeated his eyes now focused on the stormy grey that he hates so much. "I am he who rides the pale horse. I am he who slays man and beast alike. Who am I?"

After a few more minutes, it finally clicked for the Wisdom Goddess and Athena said, her face going white with pure terror, "N-No... Y-Y-You can't b-be..."

"What's wrong Athena?" Artemis asked. "You look like you've seen a ghost."

"Silence Nightwalker!" Zeus boomed at his ex-daughter. "Athena, who is this mortal?"

"F-Father... We cannot anger him nor his siblings," Athena said her color going back to normal, but with terror still etched on her features. "If we do, it will be the end of us."

"You are quite right, Pagan Goddess," Jaune said as he stepped into the light with Izuku and Rias to his right and left respectively. "My name is War and these are my siblings, Famine and Pestilence. You've already met our older brother, Death, I see."

All of the Olympians were now on the ground kneeling at the feet of the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

"My Lords and Lady," Zeus said fear and panic-stricken on his face. "Please accept my deepest apologies. I didn't know it was you."

"Stand," Percy said as they all stood back up with confusion on their faces. "I am not the Lord. I am but his helper."

"If any of you have anything to say, now is the time," Rias said her eyes glowing red and blue. "If not, then this conversation is over."

"What about the monster?" Aphrodite asked looking at Jaune with a look that can only be described as one thing: Pure Lust. "And how about me and War go a few rounds?"

"No thanks," Jaune replied. "I'm not into sluts, try the fake war."

"Why you little punk!" Ares growled before going for his saber and lunging at Jaune, but the Horseman of War just held out his hand and Ares stopped in place. "Why can't I move?!"

"Blood manipulation," Jaune replied, his eyes blood red instead of their sapphire blue. "It's one of my powers as the Horseman of War."

"We are giving you only one warning, Zeus," Izuku said, his eyes also glowing. "Don't anger us. Or we will bring about your end."

Zeus nodded and Percy said, "Now then, on the subject of Artemis, she and her Hunters are allowed back in Camp Half-Blood and Artemis is allowed freedom from the Council and if I find out that she was attacked, well, you won't like what I'll do to you."

They all nodded, but, as the 4 siblings began to leave, Poseidon asked, "Death... Why do you seem so familiar to me? What is your name?"

Percy stopped and looked at Poseidon before saying, "My name is Death, but you, Poseidon, know me as Perseus Jackson the Son of Sally Jackson and..."

"Son of Poseidon," the Greek God of the Seas said with wide eyes and a dark blue trident appeared above Percy's head.

Somewhere in New York City, a young girl, with snow-white hair, ruby-red eyes, and cat-like ears, wearing rags and had tears rolling down her face, said, "Somebody... Please... Help me."
