Nike swung a punch at Kenneth's nose, but he ducked the attack, and uppercut her in the stomach. He got back up and swung at her nose, but she leaned away fom the attack. She used her position to wind up for a punch and unloaded it on Kenneth's eye. He was stunned by the attack and this gave her the chance to run around him while striking him over and over. Kenneth shook his head and finally managed to block a punch. Nike looked up at her arm and didn't notice Kenneth's next strike until it was too late. Kennthe slammed his fist across her face and swung again just nanoseconds after. Nike ducked the attack and moved behind Kenneth, but the Demigod was somehow the combatant, so he had already planned out his next move. He reached behind himself and grabbed her by one of her wings, then tossed her up at the ceiling of the room they were in. Nike caught herself in the air with her wings, but kenneth pulled her back down. When they were at eye level with each other, Kenneth slammed his foot down onto her knee. She let out a yell of pain and Kenneth slammed his fist against her nose. Nike fell to her knees and Kenneth took her through the wall by her neck. He slammed her into Helios' landed chariot, which ended up spooking his horses. As Kenneth threw her away again, the Horses began dragging the sun this way and that. Several Gods and other people who lived on Olympus were trying to figure out what in Zeus' name Helios was doing. Was he drunk? Little did they know that he was trying to catch his horses as well.
"Get back here!" Helios exclaimed as he flew after his chariot.
Kenneth dragged her all across the closest wall before choke slamming her down onto a pool of water. At the speed they were continuously moving, the water was seemingly completely solid. He kept one hand around her neck as he slammed his other fist into her nose. He picked her up and ran through the doors back to Hayden's palace and threw him over the throne. As Hayden was just pacing around the throne room, he didn't even notice they were gone until the after shock blew him back. He managed to stay on his feet, but when he looked around, he couldn't see anything. When he heard the chaos coming from behind his throne, he instantly knew what was going on above, and decided it was time to act. Kenneth dragged her out into Hollywood and threw Nike through an L on the sign. Kenneth watched her land on her back, grabbed her again, and spun her around by the ankle. He launched her into the side of a record store and punched her up into the air. Kenneth ran up the side of the building and grabbed Nike by one of her wings as he ran up to the roof. When he got to the top, Kenneth spun around, and threw her into a stairwell that would've led to the bottom. He ran down and dragged her back down every step before body slamming her through a wall. He ran toward another, relativevly far away, alley way, and threw her down onto the ground.
"This did not have to be your fight, Nike," He snarled at her.
Back on Olympus, Cratus swung his blade across Marc's face, causing him to yell and stumble backwards. While holding the wound with one hand, he looked back at Cratus. As Marc pointed his mace at Cratus, Zelus flew behind him, and slashed his back. He exclaimed and back rolled away from the next attack. He got back up and Nate ran toward Cratus to make sure the fight stayed fair. He spun around, knocked Cratus' sword away, and slashed him across the chest. Marc used a lightning bolt and blinded both of their opponents so they could switch back. As Zelus tried to regain his sight, Nate punched him in the chest with the Bifrost fist.
"Come on, asshole!" Nate snapped as he took out two swords again "Let's go!"
Zelus rose up into the air so Nate leapt up, and swung his left sword at his chest. He blocked the attack, but the strike knocked Zelus' spear away. Nate spun in the air and swung horizontally at his neck, but the Minor God moved back in the air. As Nate landed, Zelus spun around, and stabbed at his chest. The Demigod slammed both of his blades down on his opponent's to stop the attack. He spun around while doing a flourish with his blades behind his back to block a slash to his spine. When he spun around, he had encased his blades in Bifrost and he dragged both weapons against each other. Bifrost sparks flew out and Nate cut into the ground to send more sparks at Zelus. Cratus looked back and saw his brother struggling, so he decided to help. While continuing to battle Marc, Cratus plunged his hand into the ground. He ripped out part of the floor of the courtyard and threw it at Nate. Even without his mind reading ability, he could tell something was coming. He turned and cut the piece of floor into pieces with a single swing of his blade. Another piece of floor slammed into Nate and sent him flying. He slid across the smooth quartz floor before jumping back up into the air. He spun around incredibly fast, using Bifrost to encase himself. In the brief few seconds he spun in the air, he looked like a cyclone made of rainbow fire. He channeled all the Bifrost energy into his blade a moment before he landed. He let out a loud roar and swung both blades outward. The blades cut through the ground and sent Bifrost sparks and flames out at both Minor God brothers. Cratus jumped back and decided to go back to Marc, seeing that Nate was much more versatile with his power than Thrud's son was.
Zelus chuckled at this and asked "Does that little show make you think you can win?" He swung down at Nate, but he blocked with the lingering Bifrost enhanced weapons "Cratus is stronger than Marc..." He stabbed at Nate, but he moved his foot back to shift his body away "And I am smarter than you, Nate." He brought his blade up and tried to cleave Nate's head off, but he just jerked back to dodge.
"You say that," Nate retorted as he blocked another stab "But you've still gotta have your family around to even have a chance against me."
Zelus grinned and swung at Nate's head, but he blocked the attack with his right blade. With Zelus' weapon seemingly caught, Nate tried to swing at his legs. With the butt of his spear, Zelus knocked his blade up into the air. He swung at Nate's neck, but he leaned back to dodge under the attack. He reached up with his left hand and caught his weapon before swinging back up. He brought both blades down at Zelus' head, but he blocked with the pole of his spear. The Minor God used the blade of his spear to knock Nate's sword aside, but the clever Demigod used the momentum to spin and create momentum for his next attack. He slashed both weapons at Zelus' head, one after the other. He ducked under the first attack, then moved his foot back to lower himself under the second. Zelus got up and used an diagonal upward strike. While his attack was aimed at his chest, Nate used his blades to redirect his attack. Zelus pulled his blade back down and swung down at Nate's neck. Heimdallr's son slammed his blades down onto the Minor God's and knocked all three blades into the floor, cutting three deep slits into the quartz floor, not that it really mattered.
As Nate continued battling Zelus, Marc shot a sphere of lightning at Cratus. He jumped out of the way and looked back to see the sphere destroy an entire block. He looked back at Marc, who was running right at him. When he was about a foot away, Marc stomped down on the floor. He used a thunder shock to launch himself into the air and he spun in the air as he fell back down toward Cratus. Marc turned in the air to face Cratus once again and swung his mace down in a crushing attack. The powerful Minor God used his greatsword to block the attack. Marc landed and they swung at each other again, but they just bounced off one another. Cratus swung again at Marc's head, but he ducked the attack, and pushed his blade away from the inside. Cratus' sword stabbed into the ground and Marc swung his mace at his chest. Cratus turned and used the blade, which was still in the ground, to block the strike. Cratus let out a loud grunt and ripped his sword out of the floor. Marc spun and swung his mace at Cratus' hip, but he backed away. Marc gripped his weapon with both hands and pulled back for a massive attack. He swung another devastating attack, but Cratus swung his blade behind his back to block the attack. Marc pulled back and Cratus swung back at Marc's head! Used a shield made of lightning, Marc blocked the attack, but was pushed backwards quickly. He struggled to keep his footing.
"Is something the matter?" Cratus asked, breaking his long silence during the fight "Were you not going to oppose our might?" He grabbed Marc by his, admittedly wide, neck and puleld him closer "You worthless spark." He threw him to the floor and flipped his blade into his under hand.
Marc groaned as he heard Cratus launch himself up into the air. He looked up and yelped before barrel rolling to the side as Cratus' blade dug into the ground. A gigantic dust cloud was pushed out by the impact and Marc got back up to his feet.
"Damn, these guys are tougher than I expected," He admitted while breathing heavily "Still, I'm not dying today."
Cratus turned to him and swung at his legs, but Marc leapt back to dodge the gigantic attack. Cratus pulled his blade back and pointed it at his neck in an inside right guard. He jumped at him and steabbed, but Marc slammed his mace to the floor. A gigantic lightning bolt shot down from the sky and blasted Cratus' sword to the floor, rendering his attack worthless. Sure, he could've blasted Cratus himself instead of his massive sword, but he wasn't thinking about that. Cratus lost his grip on his sword and grabbed Marc by the shoulder before slamming his forehead into the Demigod's nose. Thrud's son stumbled backwards and Cratus grabbed his sword before swinging it up at Marc again. He rolled out of the way of the blade, knowing that he currently wasn't focused enough to block or parry the strike.
Nate and Zelus were still taking shots at one another as the younger of the two swung his right blade at the elder's head. He used the blade of the spear to block the attack, then swung the pointed butt of the weapon up at Nate's head. He leaned away from the attack and Zelus used his incredibly small opening to elbow him in the nose. Nate grunted and kicked Zelus in the chest to knock him back and the Demigod leapt backwards.
"Damn, you're lucky Hayden didn't come with us," Nate snickered as they circled around one another "If he had, you and your brother wouldn't have lasted too long in this."
"Oh, you must be an Aesir. Their arrogance is palpable."
"Think and you'll see a lot of similarities between the Norse and your Greeks." The two ran at each other and launched themselves high up into the air before clashing in the air with a world shaking crash.
