Falling in Olympus

Fighting for the Sword

Gracie forcefully struck a sword on the concrete ground in the middle of the colosseum, causing the ground to crack and walked away from it, preparing to explain the rules to her friends.

"Alright, the rules," she began, "the first one that pulls the sword out of the ground gets to use it. It's free for all, which means you can use any of your powers and any of your weapons to fight."

"Oh hell yeah," Jungkook said, clapping his hands together, "this is going to be fun."

"Imma unleash the night on you cretins," Aria said.

Gracie stared at her for a moment, trying to comprehend what she just said before shaking her head, "You fight until your opponent or opponents give up. Last man standing wins."

"Hold on," Yoongi interjected, "how about we make this a little more interesting?"

"How do we do that?" Aria asked him.

Yoongi smirked, "teams."

"Ooh! Ooh! I want to be on Gracie's team!!" Aria said excitedly, running to Gracie and hugging her arm.

"Me too!" Anjelyn ran to the other side of Gracie, "that way I know we'll win."

"Being on Gracie's team doesn't guarantee you a victory," Yoongi laughed.

"Oh yeah? Say that to the daughter of the goddess of war and wisdom's face!" Aria argued.

"If we're really doing this I would like to be on Gracie's team also," Seokjin raised his hand, "because being with Gracie means less damage to my face but more to yours."

Yoongi rolled his eyes again, "Fine then I get Namjoon, Jungkook, Jimin, and Taehyung."

"The sons of the Big Three in one team," Gracie observed, "am I supposed to be scared?"

"If you're as smart as I think you are, you would be," Yoongi teased her, causing Gracie to ball her fists and glare at him.

"Does this mean I'm on Gracie's team?" Hoseok asked hopefully.

Gracie shifted her glare from Yoongi to smile at Hoseok, "of course."

"Let's get this started then," Taehyung said, walking away from the group to one side of the arena.

Yoongi offered his hand for Gracie to shake, "may the best god win."

A growl left Gracie's lips as she ignored his hand and stepped nose to nose with him, "Your head is mine."

With a smirk resting on his lips, Yoongi used his finger to lift up Gracie's chin, "did I ever tell you how attractive you look while threatening me?"

Gracie pulled her face away from him as she walked to the other side of the arena, her teammates following behind her.

When they reached their side of the arena, they gathered in a small circle, trying to come up with a plan to beat the other team.

"Alright what's the plan?" Aria asked.

"Aria you go after Namjoon, Anjelyn you go after Taehyung, Hoseok you fight Jungkook, Seokjin fight Jimin. And you all know who I'm fighting," Gracie announced, "start small. Start with hand to hand combat to tire them out, then start using your powers as soon as you see them start to weaken. Fight smart."
