The air trembles with her newfound power, and the land beneath cracks with each pulse of her aura and the very fabric of reality vibrates around her just by simply existing.

She looks down upon the god of gods as if he were nothing more than a nuisance. Her primordial prowess looms over them and Zeus is nothing but enthralled.

As the wheel behind her spins, Zeus doesn't even bother paying attention to the other who are behind him.

Zeus' eyes are set on one single target.



"So tell me dear star, If you know you can't kill me by yourself, then what's the point in trying?"



Pholys tilts her to the side and lets out a slight smirk only to say, "That should be the least of thy worries."

Before Zeus could even say a word he feels an overwhelming sense of heat as both Pluto and Zephilious pierce through both of his pecs with their arms.

Zephilious with the sheer heat of his red lightning coating his entire body and Pluto's black flames infused over his right arm melt through his skin.

"TAKE THIS MOTHERFUCKER!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"

Both Pluto and Zephilious yell to the top of their lungs as their energies rise higher and higher until Pluto yells, "PHOLYS!!! YOU'RE IN THE LINE OF FIRE!!!"

Pluto didn't realize, but Pholys had already gotten out of the way by levitating behind him before he could formulate the thought of warning her.

All of a sudden the black flames around Pluto's arm and the red lightning around Zephilious' arm burst into a giant explosion and both power merge into one as Zeus yells out in agonizing pain.

The black and the crimson colors merge into one becoming an ever darker tone of red as all three individuals see Zeus' body rip apart in slow motion.

His flesh and hair burn away in an instant as his muscles and organs emerge out and they too melt into bare bones and those bones succumb to the pure heat of energy released from their arm.

The blast disintegrates Zeus down to a sub atomical level leaving absolutely nothing. No trace of his the god's physical existence, it's almost as if he never arrived in the first place and it left an expanding hole in reality with no virtual end.

The boys lower their arms down just as Zephilious says, "I-It's over..?" Pluto's body explodes in sharp pain as blood gushes out from his eyes, ears, and mouth.

Pluto bends down slightly putting his arms over his abdomen as he grits his teeth taking in all of the pain.

Zephilious looks at Pluto and says, "You don't have much time. I think it's best if we go now before it's too late."

Pluto slowly tilts his head up twitching in pain to meet Zephilious' gaze and says, "A-as much...as I want..t-to go...we can't."

Pluto lets go of his abdomen and straightens himself up slowly. He inhales and exhales slowly trying to mediate the pain as much as possible.

He waits a moment and then says, "It's not over yet. If we leave, he'll just hunt me down again."

Zephilious squints his eyes at Pluto and asks, "What are you saying? That he's alive? There's just no way."
