A new age of Divinity: Theomachy

Agents of Zeus

Athena returned to Mount Olympus to speak to her father, Zeus, about getting help. It had become increasingly obvious to the point where she could no longer deny it, her warriors were useless... at least for what she needed at the moment. While she had told her soldiers not to chase down the group, she did that more so that she could keep more of her Athenian Warriors alive. They were all well trained, but these Demigods constantly standing in her way were something else. There was something about them that she didn't understand. They were just as well trained as her warriors and they were outnumbered, but they still managed to fight them all off. Athena knew that it would take actual Gods to deal with them at this point, minor as they may be. As she reached the top, she could hear her father and Hera arguing as usual. She groaned, believing everything they had ever argued about was trivial. She had expected Hera to have gotten used to her father's extramarital affairs by now, but apparently not. Then again, she had turned Medusa into a monster when she was in a bad mood and found her having sex with her uncle.
"Alright, let us get this over with," Athena sighed, then she opened the door to the throne room of The Olympians.
When she opened the door, she found, as she expected, only her father and Hera in the massive chamber. Her father was a tall muscular man, but the depictions in many mortal media was wrong about him aside from that. Most showed her father as an elderly man with a long white beard and gray hair while wearing a toga. Instead, he was wearing a black sleeved armored vest and dark gray trousers with greek sandals with short black hair and no beard. The depictions of Hera in the mortal world tended to be a little bit more accurate to reality. Like her father, she was always depicted in a toga and had dark brown hair... and that was pretty much it. Her form was actually very similar to this, with light brown hair, piercing grayish green eyes, and a crop top style woolen shirt under a single shouldered toga.
"Oh, for the love of... enough!" Athena exclaimed while hitting a spear on the door to shut the two Gods up "Father, I need to speak with you."
"On what matter?" Zeus asked his daughter.
"Nothing that is more important than what we are discussing now!" Hera yelled at her husband.
"Woman, shut your mouth. How are you even phased by my extra marital affairs anymore? It has been millenia of this, so leave, and do whatever it is you want to that mortal whore." Hera grumbled as she pushed past her husband and stomped out of the throne room "Now, what is it you need?" Zeus asked as he sat down on his throne, which angered Athena, but she made sure not to show it.
"I request the aid of your most loyal Minor Gods to deal with a bit of a Demigod... problem I have been having trouble with."
"You? I had assumed most of the Demigods have joined your Athenian Warriors by now," Zeus replied, surprised by his daughter having a problem with mere half breeds.
"Yes, most have... but this small group has been particularly annoying," Athena admitted "My warriors have tried over and over but every time, they are defeated. I request to be able to station them here for training from other Gods and to take your agents as my own for the time being."
"Hm, I suppose that is fair. If your current army is unable to get what you need done, just recruit a better one. I respect that thought process."
"Yes... we will go with that," Athena sighed under her breath "So, may I take them?"
"Yes, yes. Allow me to summon them." Zeus stood up and threw his Master Bolt up into the air as a signal.
It seemed to fracture into four bolts and they flew to different parts of Olympus. Just a few moments later, four lesser deities landed in the throne room. They were the four Agents of Zeus, Bia, Zelus, Cratus, and Nike. Bia was a brunette who had white feathered wings and a pale yellow toga while holding a golden spear. Zelus had long white hair and wings as well, except he had four whereas Bia only had two, and he was wearing only an armored set of pants. Cratus had silver hair and a bushy beard while not wearing a shirt, much like Zelus. Nike had rose red hair and wielded a strangely shaped golden sword while wearing a quartz white, armored toga.
"Lord Zeus," Nike greeted him as the four bowed to the king of Olympus "What is your command?"
"You will join Athena in... whatever she intends on doing," Zeus told the four "Truth be told, I care very little what my daughter does with her time. Her affairs mean nothing to me, but whatever she instructs you to do, you will do it. Now, Athena? Let me explain to you what each of these four are specialists in." The four lined up next to each other "Nike is even faster than even Hermes. She excels in stealth as for mortals, it is impossible to spot her. Now..." He walked behind Cratus "This one is what you would call a demolitions expert. If you need something destroyed, then this is who you would go to..." He walked behind Bia "This one's wings makes her great for recognition as she can view an entire country, or possibly even world from a great enough height with pinpoint accuracy as to whatever you need found." Finally, he walked behind Zelus "This one is who you go to if you want information out of someone. The pain he can inflict on others can cause anyone to give any information you need." Zeus used his power over lightning to travel within a bolt in front of the five Gods "Now, do what you need to do. Go!!!" Athena nodded and took her new Agents to Earth.
It didn't take too long for them to get back to the White House and the four looked around for clues as to where the Demigods had gone. After a while, Bia found a piece of Gulltoppr's fur and looked around for more. She looked around and found more on the ground, which soon turned into a trail. They followed the trail into a small town pretty far from the battle site. Athena ordered the four to stay and hunt the Demigods down while she took her usual army to deal with some other business.
"So, we have been tasked with dealing with worthless little Demigods?" Cratus grumbled "What kind of low level trash does Athena take us for?"
"Shut up and we will finish this quickly," Bia told her colleague "Zeus told us to follow his daughter's orders, so that is what we will do."
"I just hope these half breeds will be worth our time," Zelus told the group "If they can defeat entire armies of other Demigods, then there must be something different about them."
"Will you three quiet down?" Nike snapped back at them "If you are so insistent on finishing this as quickly as possible, I think it would be better if we actually got to work instead of arguing like children." She looked around and tried to tell if she could find a gigantic lion with horns in this small town. "This place is a wasteland. A true member of the divine would never be caught dead living here." As she surveyed her surroundings, she noticed a strange animal laying outside of a store "Ah... there we are." She turned to the other three "Make yourselves scarce. We will follow them back to whatever house they reside in and destroy them all."
"Yes! I love when we get to eradicate the weak," Cratus cheered while cracking his knuckles.
While Bia and Cratus walked toward Gulltoppr without being seen, Zelus and Nike sensed some kind of divine disturbance. Gulltoppr lifted his head up off the ground quickly and sniffed the air, having caught a whiff of pure Olympian blood. He looked around, but didn't see anything, which made the lion stay on his guard. Tracy came out of the store with Kenneth, Eden, and Mikayla and they noticed Gulltoppr was back on his feet.
"Toppr? What's up?" Tracy asked as she walked on her crutches over to the beast "Has he ever acted like this before?"
"No... but he is focused over there..." Eden said.
"Hm... we should make sure no one is following us... or as well as we can," Kenneth said.
The four got up on top of Gulltoppr and they slowly began to ride back to the house. The two Gods followed them back to the house and they managed to stay out of sight the whole time. In the meantime, Zelus and Nike listened from outside the house as Nate and Beth fought. When Bia and Cratus showed up, Nate knocked Beth out into the front yard.
"Huh, maybe we will be able to simply let them destroy each other," Zelus said while they watched Nate attack Beth... but then that plan quickly went down the drain as the others came in between the battle "Fine... original plan it is, then." The four jumped down on the sidewalk across from the group and the larger team looked up at the vastly more powerful deities.
"Ah... shit," Nate groaned.
