A new age of Divinity: Theomachy

Mythological Meltdown

Alarms began to blare and they could hear doors opening on every floor. The sound proofed facility was now rumbling and bustling with chaos. Guards were running down the hallways and they walked past them, keeping the seed and stone in Mikayla's janitor cart to avoid suspicion. Since Mikayla was pushing the cart and Eden just looked like a supervisor, no one thought twice about them.
"Nate, tell me you're okay," Mikayla mumbled as she tried to use a spell to see through his eyes "Tell me you haven't gotten caught..." Before the spell could work, she saw the ceiling above them start to crumble, which prompted a groan, "You gotta be shittin' me."
"Mikey, look out!" Eden yelled as she grabbed Circe's daughter and pushed her out of the way of the falling ceiling "Who is that?" The two both scrambled to their feet and saw... nothing "Huh, then what made the ceiling collapse?" A brown furry mass suddenly slammed into both of them and they fell on their backs again.
"The brother bears?" Mikayla groaned.
"This must be where they have been all this time," Eden added as the two got back up "Ready for this?"
"We're in a place filled with mythical weapons. Yeah, I'm ready," Mikayla affirmed "Let's go."
Agrius swiped at Eden while his brother, Oreius charged toward Mikayla. Eden used whatever vegetation was around to create a shield in front of her. Agrius' paw slap was deflected and Eden lowered the vines and roots. Mikayla used a concussion blast spell to knock Oreius into the adjacent wall. Before Eden could raise another shield, Argius took another swipe at her. His claws ripped into her wrist when she tried to recreate her shield and she let out a yell as blood ran down her wrist. Oreius got off the wall and launched himself toward Mikayla, but she just shot a fireball at him. He raised one of his front legs and blocked the inferno sphere, but his fur was also singed in the process.
"Wow, they're resilient fucks, aren't they?" Mikayla asked as Argius turned to her, and launched himself at her "Ah, shit!" She created a bubble shield around herself which shattered once the massive bear slammed his body into it.
Mikayla stumbled backwards and back into the storage room as the bear stalked toward her on all fours. As she heard Eden fighting off Oreius and listened to Argius slowly walking toward her while growling, she looked around for any weapon she could find. When Argius rounded the corner, Milayla turned to face him with Forsetti's golden axe. The two charged at one another and Mikayla swung the axe several times across his face to ward him off.
"Mikey, are you okay?" Eden asked as she turned away from her fight.
"I am now that I have this thing!" Mikayla yelled back "Here! Take a boost, it's only for a few seconds, though." She conjured a spell to heighten Eden's aggression, attack strength, and speed, then chucked it at her.
Just as Eden was about to be mauled, the spell took effect, and she threw Oreius off her while yelling "Whooh! Round two, fucker!" Mikayla was shocked, she had never heard Eden speak like that before, but it was probably because of the spell.
Eden began to pelt her opponent with punches, pushing him further and further down the hallway. All the soldiers on the floor had filed out minutes ago, so there was no one watching the battle that could make it more difficult for the women. The spell only gave Eden a three to five second burst of adrenaline, but it gave them more than enough aid. Once it wore off, Eden created a sword with the roots and vines she had used before.
"What was that?" Eden asked as she held her weapon out in a defensive position to keep her opponent at bay.
"Never tried it, but it was basically a steroids spell!" Mikayla replied, but just a moment later, Agrius slapped her to the ground, and turned to charge Eden "Crap, Eden! Look out!"
Eden didn't hear her and when she knocked Oreius back, Argius pounced at her from behind. Eden moved to turn just as Argius tore into her back! Eden yelled out in pain and fell to one knee and Mikayla stood back up in a rage. The brunette looked back and rolled under Argius at the height of his next pounce. She got back up and grabbed her sword off the floor while Mikayla leapt at him from the side. Eden swung the blade of her weapon across the bear's face while Mikayla stabbed him in the back with her chained daggers. Agrius reeled back from the joint strike and the two were about to attack again when Oreius charged them. Eden was caught off guard and tackled down the hall while Mikayla continued brawling with Agrius.
"Alright, come on, ya bastard bear."
Mikayla swung Forseti's axe at Agrius, the blade ripping and tearing away at the bear. He began trying to cover his face and Mikayla used a shockwave to blast his arms away, then continued swinging. When his defenses were down, she charged the axe with a frost spell, then jumped back, twirled around, and hurled the weapon at Agrius. It sunk into his shoulder and the bear roared in pain. After his roar, Agrius gripped the axe's handle, then proceeded to tear it out of himself.
Eden was still fighting Oreius and he swung her across the face, opening three long wounds on her cheek. She yelled out in pain and back rolled away from his next swing. She got back up and spun around, then slapped him back with a vine whip. To repay him for his attack, she also decided to strike him across the face. He stumbled back and when she attacked him again, his brother interrupted. He pounced on her and pinned her to the wall... and slammed his forehead into her nose for some reason. He let her go and Oreius came back to shoulder check her back into the hallway.
Mikayla saw her pass out when she hit the ground and ran to help her, only to have the larger of the two bears slam full force into her. She fell onto her stomach and the smaller one began clawing and ripping away at her back. Eden woke up and saw the bear basically torturing Mikayla and quickly got back up. She charged toward them and tackled Oreius off of Mikayla. She got back to her hands and knees and panted, then cast a healing spell on both her and Eden to make sure they could keep fighting until it was over. When Mikayla got back up, they both began to focus Agrius with a barrage of attacks.
As they were attacking Agrius, Oreius came in and knocked Eden up into the air. Agrius pushed Mikayla off of him and leapt up to grab her by the arm. He swung her around and threw her into another cell. They both began to focus Eden, but she created a dome of entangled vines and roots to block their attacks. Mikayla got up and saw Eden being attacked, so she ran to Forseti's axe while Agrius and Oreius weren't paying attention. She picked it up, enchanted it to cause extra pain, and lobbed it at either of the bears. It sunk into Agrius' shoulder and he roared out in pain again, taking Oreius' attention away from their target. Eden felt the pressure be taken off of her shield, so she lowered it, and wrapped all the vines and roots around her fist. Oreius looked back at her and Eden slammed her vegetation covered fist into his jaw. He let out a snarl as he was knocked back, then stabbed her in the shoulder with his left paw. Eden yelled out in pain and he uppercut her in the chin to knock her up into the air... again. Agrius tried to attack her while she was in the air, but Mikayla stopped him.
As Oreius pinned Eden to the ground, Mikayla wrapped her arms around Agrius' neck, and yelled "Get off of her! Oh, wait!" She slung another aggression spell at Eden and used a transformation spell to turn herself into a bear, just to even the odds.
She grabbed Agrius in her mouth and charged him down the hall while Eden got back up to face Oreius. Before she could attack, he paw swiped her across the face again, but his attacks didn't phase her thanks to the aggression spell. She wrapped vines around his neck and punched him in the jaw, breaking half of his teeth with her strike. He staggered back and Mikayla threw Agrius into his brother, turning the two terrifying bears into a pile of fur. She ran up to them and began to maul them both while they were down, drawing more and more blood with each swipe. Oreius got away from her and tried to attack from the side, but Eden slammed into him with her full body weight... not that it was all that much. The force of her attack was enough, though, and she wrapped more vines around him. While Mikayla kept Agrius busy, Eden swung Oreius over her head and slammed him down onto the ground. Mikayla grabbed her bear and Eden wrapped vines around hers. In sync, they both killed their opponent with Mikayla tearing Oreius in half and Eden breaking Agrius' neck. Conveniently, the spells both wore off and the two fell against adjacent walls. The fight had been more brutal than either had expected, but it also made sense given that they had been fighting bears.
The two got back up and Mikayla had to use Foresti's golden axe to keep herself standing. As they walked, Mikayla finally noticed what Eden was wearing... or what was left of it. The fight had torn away a lot of the shirt and the buttons had all come loose, which revealed her entire torso. Her glasses had fallen off and the hair that had been in a tight bun was no in its usual free state.
"Imma fuck her in that..." Mikayla mumbled, soliciting some momentary side eye from Eden.
Quite literally half a minute after the two had taken the seed and stone, Nate came down the hall. He stopped for a moment when he saw the torn apart hallway, then ran into the storage room. Nate walked around the tables and cabinets, throwing everything that wasn't a seed or midgard entry stone out of his way. After a few minutes, he slammed his fists down on the table and walked out... after having a quick little Bifrost tantrum and blowing almost everything to pieces.
"Alright... if it's not here, then..." He stopped in some cafeteria and grabbed something off the ground to eat "Maybe the girls did find it. Hopefully at least." He was about to sit down and eat the piece of pizza when his Bifrost arm seemingly moved on its own and caught a... familiar spear "What the...? Oh, come on. Really?" He turned around and saw Zelus standing a few feet away, so he casually threw the spear away "Come on, then." He was about to walk over when he saw Zelus cut some kind of wire at his feet.
Nate took another step forward... and was then trapped within a box made of ivory and copper. There was some kind of magic that let Nate see through the panes of copper and he glared at Zelus. He smiled at Nate as he hopped down from the table he was standing on and began to walk toward the Demigod. Nate punched the wall, but his Bifrost arm barely left a dent.
Zelus tapped on the glass like copper and asked "You still hold back? Fine." He walked away and turned a projector on, one that seemed to show security footage. "Maybe all you need is the proper motivation." Nate stopped when he saw Gulltoppr being attacked and hurt by a bunch of guards, sending him into an unthinking, blinding fury.
He began throwing everything he had at his entrapment, hitting it over and over. Zelus turned and saw him doing everything he could possibly do to escape. This wasn't out of fear of being captured and brought to Athena though, no, this was something entirely different. This was in hopes of dealing out the same amount of pain to his current target that Gulltoppr was receiving. The more he attacked the cube he was trapped in, the weaker it became. After about fifteen seconds of going full force, the box began to crack, so Zelus started to egg him on.
"Oh, please, do not feel pity for the creature. It was worthless in life..." Nate began to let out a building roar, pulling all the Bifrost energy he had into his core, or at least that's what it looked like "Sure, he was a useless animal in life, but he will become a glorious feast in-"
"Shut up!!!" Nate screamed, a Bifrost explosions completely destroying the trap and the strength in his voice causing the entire facility to shake, dust falling on them from the ceiling, but then he calmed himself down, and he spoke in a low and malevolent voice "I'm done... and so are you..." He opened his eyes and looked up at his enemy "I'm gonna kill you right here!"
"At last," Zelus gasped, his voice shaking with excitement "A battle with a rival worthy of me." He pulled out a long spear and massive shield and readied for combat.
