Flashback Weeks Before Present Time
"Hey wait up" I said while the bus was starting its engine as soon as I was able to grab the handle it went without me they looked at me and laughed.I took a cab to get to school.When I arrived they were waiting for me the usual bullies this guys aren't the stereotypical ones they immediately beat you up then ask you to give them your money why aren't they suspended or expelled you ask well because one of them is the son of the owner of the school Aides Scythe.The Scythe bloodline has been known for being the best for a thin kid Aides is supernaturally strong.He walked up to me and said "Say good night bitch" he was about to punch me until Julius stopped him "You shouldn't be picking on people who aren't like you Aides" Julius said "Get him boys" Aides commanded his "Friends" but they were in too distracted with the beauty of Venus Roman.The Roman family is known to be international models that travel the world while the family of Julius Cules has been known for strength and helping others they have donated 100000000$ for a charity to help the disabled and the ones with special needs."Fucking idiots" Aides said then he punched Julius and kicked him down Julius didn't want to fight back so I stepped up and threw a book at him *Thonk* the book hit him but he wasn't affected by it "A book haha you must be stupid Sky Dues with your glasses nerd" he said walking slowly at me I take a step back he takes a step forward he got so close that he held my shirt and pulled me and said "You are a dead man" then he beaten me to a pulp that I had to be rushed to the hospital...

At The Hospital
"Vitals are normal only a lot of wounds expected recovery would be 1 week" a feminine voice said "How much would it cost" a strong masculine,familiar voice asked "20$ for the recovery and 50$ for stay" she answered.I opened my eyes and saw Julius talking to a nurse and Venus sitting in the chair watching me "He's awake Julius" Venus said the nurse left us three in the room "You okay Sky" Julius said "Nothing that's fatal Julius" I said "Look we are your friends dude we are like brothers and sisters we'll cover the expenses" Julius said "Yah well good luck on your recovery Sky" Venus said.After a few minutes of chattering they left to the first period on their class.

After They left
As I was sleeping in the hospital I felt something enter my body a substance of sorts I don't know what it is all I knew was it made my body paralyzed I woke up in a dark room I looked around screaming for help until he slowly walked away from the shadows it was Aides Scythe with his minions "Long way from recovery don't you think Sky" he asked "What do you want you monster" I said.He looked at me and started laughing "What do I want? I want to kill you Sky or should I say Zeus" He said "What I'm not Zeus,I'm just a normal kid dammit" I said trying to break the chair.He raised his hand up and a weapon appeared from thin air and his minions turned into a Cerberus I was frightened I realized I had no chance to win only die, the Cerberus grabbed on to me breaking the chair into pieces and started biting me I felt all the pain.All of it then Aides leaped and was stealing my soul until the unthinkable happened, I sent out a electric pulse pushing them back "What no...no..impossible" Aides shouted rushing at me, the metal of his weapon got affected by the electricity causing him to get electrocuted he walked slowly to me fighting the electricity and barely said "This is not how this is supposed to go I was supposed to win not you over and over again Zeus" I didn't know what was in my head when I said "Hades your rain of terror has ended again just give up brother" then I saw him kneel before me and say "One day everything you know will disappear so you better give up----" before he could finish he died by the electricity.

Outside of the place with Aides

I ran away, everything that had electricity malfunctioned flickering lights,traffic lights malfunctioning causing a accident I kept on running and running until I realized I ran away to the next part of town Chinatown and of course almost everything there uses electricity that's when I couldn't control it I kept on draining everything so much that I-I-I killed them a explosion that destroyed half the Chinatown causing a giant mark.A mark of a hero that killed to become who he is....

Present time

I don't know anymore who I was after that I decided to make a suit that is able to control my abilities and trained alone I got so good that I stopped a robbery of a bank with my lightning.After that I stopped more and more crimes being a "hero with the people" and surprisingly I wasn't the only one who had the abilities of a god.While I was chasing a few petty thieves I got a message on my phone with a address of course I wondered what am I going to then I realized who would message a hero if they are a criminal.Arriving in the warehouse I broke down the door "Such a entrance Sky" Julius and Venus said surrounding them there was people who had abilities of gods.It was amazing they told me what is going on with me they told me I am Zeus well more of a descendant of Zeus the history goes way back to the rivalry of Hades and Zeus apparently the Greek gods have been fighting Hades for a long time now and it seems like this century was the end now that Hades is fully dead humanity is safe.

In a place unknown to gods or humans

"Everything is falling into place wonder whats next? what do you think Kala"

"I don't know Cronus humans are a interesting specimen and their actions are unpredictable,don't you think we should help them?"

"Kala like you said humans are unpredictable one way or another their do it again a never ending cycle....a cycle of death"

"Cronus, Hades is dead where do you think the dead go now"

"I don't know Kala"
