Orb of the Protogenoi

Meltdown

Evening came, and a lot of students have gone to the old, abandoned warehouse outside of town. A few cars were parked outside, but most of them had walked so they wouldn't attract attention from the residents living near the area.

The old dilapidated building looked like it was about to collapse, barrels with oil have been lit to give light to the surroundings. The distinctive odor of rats and rusty nails filled the room, but as more students came, it was gone. The second floor was filling up with students, while the others surrounded the platform where the fight will be held.

The doors were shut and everyone cheered. Evan can be seen shouting that they can bet on Hephaestus or Kevin on who they think would win. Apollo, Hermes and Dionysus were at the second floor, looking at the audience below them.

"What are we going to do?! Liam and the others aren't still here!" said Apollo loudly.

Hermes turned his head to him. "I don't know, but don't worry too much. That's Antonio over there, and he's known to beat Marko's ass from time to time. That Kevin guy will be out before a minute passes." He turned to Dionysus. "Right?"

He popped a grape into his mouth. "Yeah. He could punch a metallic wall without getting hurt.

"If that's what you think, then you should bet on him."

They turned to see Evan and Hermes asked. "Bet?"

"Yeah." He brought out a small notebook and a pen. "So, will that be three?"

One of the football members went up the platform, held his hands up and said "Wassup Miami Phoenix!" They cheered. "Tonight, will be a special fight between the Robotics Club-" Laughter filled the air. "-and the Miami Phoenix football team~!" They chanted the names of the fighters. "Alright, let's give it up for Antonio!"

Hephaestus calmly went up the platform and saw his three brothers at the second floor, saying something but he couldn't hear them. He scanned the audience around him and saw Ares glaring at him.

"And now, let's give a big shout to our one and only, captain of the football team, Kevin~!" Most of them chanted his name as he went up the stage and threw his jacket at the girls, while the others wanted to boo him but they didn't want to take the risk.

The referee, along with the others shouted "Let the football smashing night begin!" A gong-like sound was heard throughout the place, signaling the start of the fight.

Hephaestus stood in his place while he watched the boy do some stupid moves.

"What? Are you chickening out?" asked Kevin tauntingly, and the students around them laughed. He strode over him and put a hand over his shoulder, and before he knew it, his face was on the platform. He stood up and cracked his knuckles and neck. "Looks like you know some moves." He smirked. "But I know a lot more."

Kevin charged at him but fell to the ground when the boy took a step sideward. The former took this chance to grab the ankle and pull. Hephaestus fell but got right back up before Kevin could do anything. This got him angry and stood up and charged at him again, but his attacks were dodged again and he felt something hard hit his stomach and flew and landed at the ground. Everyone was murmuring at what had happened.

One of the rules of the fight was to knock the opponent off of the platform. So basically Kevin lost, but he nor neither of his team was going to have that. Blood was trickling down his chin as he stood up and shouted "Hold that ********!"

Two big boys quickly went up the platform and held the boy, who was still calm. Their captain wiped the blood off and went up. This time, he was sure he was going to hit him, but he was wrong. Hephaestus pulled the boy on his left so he can take the hit and he kicked Kevin's crotch. Then when his left hand was free, he punched the boy on his right. A few seconds later, everyone was silent as they watched the three jocks groan in pain on the ground, except for Hermes who shouted "Yeah Antonio! You showed him alright!" Apollo covered his mouth and whispered "If you want to congratulate him, do it later!"
