War of the Gods

I Owe You

Greg dashed at Guillermo, with anger in his eyes, and lightning in his fists. He attacked Guillermo, and missed. Guillermo kicked him back, but was counteracted by a flip backward, and Greg shot lightning at him. The ground rumbled afterwards. "Greg, how powerful did you make that?" Star asked. "That wasn't me!" Greg shouted. The ground rumbled again, this time, much worse. "Greg, that isn't any of us, right?" Guillermo asked. "I don't think so, not unless you gained the power to start moving the Earth," Greg said. Aries fell to the ground. "ARIES!!" Greg screamed, as he ran to her. "Talk to me, what's wrong?" Greg asked. "I... I don't know, I feel dizzy," Aries said. Aries closed her eyes, and saw what looked like Natalie, next to a god, one she vaguely recalls. "My name is Antare!" He said. "Antare," she whispered. "That's it!!" She screamed. "Aries, what's going on?" Greg asked. "I've figured out why the gods held the tournament!" She said. "Guillermo, the power is real, but, the god is false." Guillermo panted, and sat down. "The tournament was held to keep another god at bay," Aries said. "Because, they stole the power, and they abused it." Aries, Star, and Greg looked at each other. "Antare... we need a way to release Antare," Aries said. "Okay, one, who the hell is Antare, two, how the hell are we gonna do that?" Greg asked. "Antare is a god, his power, I don't remember, but, he's more powerful than the others combined, and, for the second part... I don't know," Aries said. "Well, it's a start," Star said. "Yeah, but, we have no idea how to find the gods," Greg said. "We're pretty much stuck at square one." They all sat down. "Wait, if Natalie is still alive, then, maybe I could find her," Greg said. "Greg, no!" Aries said. "Let me finish," Greg said. "Back at the tournament, they made a clone of her, to break my will," Greg explained. "They had to have put a tracking device of some sorts on her, otherwise, if she had escaped, they couldn't find her," Greg sighed. "Plus, dad found her in some way." Guillermo walked towards his friends. "He's right, the marks on us are basically tracking devices, they keep tabs on us," Guillermo said. "They had to put something on her, Greg, throw a lightning bolt in the air." Greg tossed a bolt of lightning, and it struck, the end pointed eastward. "Just as I thought, it's pointing towards her," Guillermo said. Greg closed his eyes, and saw Natalie. She was in a tank, with Lightning and Fire in front of her, laughing maniacally. "I saw her," Greg said. "Greg, it's dangerous," Star said. "She's alive, that's enough for me," Greg said. "Greg, you agreed to participate in this war," Guillermo said. "On my own terms, not theirs," Greg shouted. "I will not stand by while they have my girlfriend held captive." Aries looked at Greg, almost as if she were proud of him. 'Father,' she thought. "First, we sleep," Star said. "But..." Greg said. "Greg, she's alive, that's enough for now," Star said. "This is something we can't charge in head first," Guillermo said. They went back in their rooms, and fell asleep.
Lightning struck around Florida, almost as if it were about to storm. "Damn it all to hell," Lightning said. "Calm down, Sparky, it's still working," Fire said. "They know she's alive, plus, they have her," lightning said. "That won't matter, Aries has no threat to us," Fire said. "Greg and Guillermo almost did our jobs for us, but, he interrupted," Lightning screamed. "I'm amazed that he has this much power," Fire said. "If he gets released, we'll be imprisoned." "We need to finish this, we'll have them come to us," Fire said. "I suggest we go to Bermuda, then," Lightning said. "What about her?" Fire pointed at Natalie. "Leave her," Lightning said. "Isn't the whole point to keep them away?" Fire asked. "Aries will be the one," Lightning said. "The daughter? What does she..." Fire looked at Lightning. "That's evil," Fire said. "Let's leave, they'll be looking when they get here." They disappeared.
Morning came, Greg and the others woke up, and drove back to Greg's neighborhood. "I'm taking baby Aries back to Natalie's, she doesn't need to get caught in this," Greg said. "Uh, hi," Aries scoffed. "I've seen my fair share of time travel movies, would you rather be possibly killed as an infant and not exist?" Greg asked facetiously. "... Fair enough," Aries answered. They drop Aries off, and they leave towards wherever Natalie was, or is, who knows. "Oh, Guillermo," Greg said. "Yeah?" Guillermo said. "I owe you," Greg said. "What?" Guillermo asked in a confused manner. "I owe you a match," Greg said. Guillermo fell silent. "Wait until this whole thing is over," Guillermo said. Greg focused back on driving, but, he couldn't shake Natalie off of his mind. 'I'm coming, Natalie, hang on,' Greg thought.
