Goku and the Olympians

Chapter 14: Tough Decisions (Edited)

Goku continued to trade blows with the now transformed Kogu. Both fighters punched and kicked each other at speeds practically eclipsing light itself, making their movements invisible to everyone else in the area. All Percy and his fellow demigods could see were brief flashes of yellow energy that appeared every second or so.

This, to no one's surprise, greatly confused and terrified Bianca. She blinked a few times and then thoroughly rubbed her eyes.

"Okay. Am I hallucinating or did they just completely vanish from thin air?!"

"I know! Isn't it awesome, sis?" Nico cheered in delight.

"Stop saying that! This is not something to be happy about!"

Artemis walked up to stand by Bianca's side. "You're not imagining things, dear girl. Although it may seem like Goku and his opponent have vanished from the battlefield, they are, in actuality, moving too fast for mere mortal eyes to comprehend. Even I'm struggling to keep up with some of their movements and I'm an Olympian goddess."

Bianca quirked a brow. "Um... by 'Olympian goddess', you mean that you're just a talented athlete who competed in the Olympics once, right?"

"No", Zoë shook her head, "She means one of the Greek goddesses. Don't be foolish."

"So-so... she's the real Artemis from mythology and all that lame stuff Nico's into? That's not just her name?!"

"You weren't convinced when she turned that fully armed helicopter into a bunch of birds?" Percy asked from nearby.

"I thought that was another hallucination, honestly." Bianca groaned, holding both hands on the sides of her head. "Now, I'm even more confused!"

Artemis gently clasped her shoulder.

"All of your questions will be answered soon, child. Let's just watch and see how Goku's fight pans out first."

"Tch. Easier said than done, Artemis. I can't see shit!" Thalia grumbled.

She squinted her eyes in an attempt to catch a small glimpse of Goku's Super Saiyan form, but to no avail. The powerful bursts of wind emanating from Goku and Kogu's respective attacks made it practically impossible to move any closer.

Goku himself was not struggling in the slightest. Kogu put in a few good hits here and there, sure, but the Saiyan of Earth's defenses were nothing short of perfect. He was able to block each strike of Kogu's fist before it even had a chance to land.

And this infuriated the Hera swordsman to no end.

"Hmph. I'll admit, your Super Saiyan form is just as strong as the legends made it out to be." Kogu clenched his teeth. "But a monkey draped in gold is still just a monkey, Son Goku."

They continued their onslaught of blows in the air. They moved from one point to another, causing small explosions that eviscerated nearby trees.

"Heh, funny. Did you take that one from Frieza's book?" Goku chuckled sarcastically. He looked at Kogu's new appearance, thinking of how it similar it was to Frieza's 100% Full Power state. "Your form even looks like his too."

Furious, the Hera underling narrowed his eyes. His temper was reaching its breaking point.

"Errgh! Don't compare me to that pompous tyrant! I'm stronger than Frieza will ever be!"

He flexed his muscles, enshrouding himself in a field of green energy that forced Goku backward. Said Saiyan crossed both arms in front of his face to keep steady.

"HRAAAAAAAH!" Kogu screamed. Fully enraged, he thrust his fist straight into Goku's stomach and then followed it up with a fierce uppercut across the chin.
