War of the Titans

Hold the lines!

It's been two months since we got stuck in Primordial War. We had built up all our defenses by upgrading the Ballistas, putting up turrets and a defensive moat around the city. We now have over two hundred people in the city and gaining more by the day.
The day began how it usually does. Matthew, Charles, Cayden, Wyatt and I all meet at my house and discuss plans for the city and still try to figure put the strange armor we all found. Then we go out to the city and stroll the streets and talk to the people. We seem to be what they consider leaders though I'm not sure about that. Eventually they were gonna choose a leader and I feared what it would do to the community.
Many of us still wondered when this all would end and we'd get back into the real world or if... We never got out of the game and life went on without us. Today as I put my armor on I just felt it be good to go check out the temple again. No one was permitted to go there until we figured out anything for it.
I grabbed all my armor and weapons and went for the temple. I strolled down the street with my helmet under my arm as I do so people know it's me. I stopped and had a conversation with one of the oldest members of our community, who had joined two days after the gate was fixed. He was a blond guy who had a black iron and copper sword.
I finished my conversation with him and then went for the temple again. I got to the temple which was made completely of Crystal Quartz and emeralds with marble pillars and gold floors. I wanted to see what that little prophecy or legend was I briefly saw before. I was shocked when someone was standing there reading it.
"This area is off limits. Mind telling me what your doing here?" I said.
"Oh I um got lost." The person said. "I saw this artwork and prophecy and I wanted to look at it. Please don't tell.." The person turned around at that last part and noticed who it was.
"Let me guess don't tell me?" I said smiling a little. I studied the person. She was a girl who had brown hair with blond highlights. She was wearing a white jacket over her black shirt and had on a pair of vans.
"I'm so dead aren't I?" She said.
"No. I came here for the same thing." I admitted. "Now since you've read a little of this mind telling me what it says so far?"
"Oh um yeah sure." She said. "It says this city was once ruled by five heroes who were children of Ethos."
"Wait so Ethos, as in the maker of this game, Ethos Caos, was in here some odd hundreds of years ago and had children?" I said.
"Well it seems that way. Ethos was pretty much God for this world." She said. "Anyways back to the prophecy. Since Ethos was pretty much God his children were powerful beings called Primordials. Each with they're own special abilities. And they founded and made this city. Each one had a palace."
"Wait you mean.." I said.
"Yes your palace and the others." She said. "Anyways let me finish please. Each palace was made and somewhat related to the abilities and stuff they had, so one of them had ocean related abilities so they had a ocean and beach looking palace."
"Matthews house." I said.
"Exactly." She said. "However, this peacefulness and life wouldn't last long. Erebus was the devil and he couldn't deal with the design, peace and children his brother Ethos had. So Erebus made a plan to destroy it. He made a army, the Titans, a immensely powerful army of beings. Erebus made thousands of Titans to overthrow the demigods and bring down the reign of Ethos.
The Primordials and Titans fought for a decade. The Primordials knew the Titans and Erebus would never stop so they imprisoned them. In Tartarus."
That's when I interrupted. "This is just rewritten Greek mythology." I said plainly. "Tell me how this works?"
"Both worlds I assume at one time were one." She said. "Let me continue reading. The damage to the land was tremendous. So the Primordials.."
"They what?" I asked. "What they do?"
"They used all they're power to separate the worlds. One world of monsters and the other one of people and a normal world." She said shocked. "That's how the Greeks got it. They just edited it."
"So what happened to them?"I asked.
"To do this they had to use all they're remaining power. They sacrificed themselves.." She said.
"They went out like the heroes they were. Died to save the others." I said. "Is there anymore?"
"Yes just some." She said. "They put they're materials into they're houses. They're armor that was imbued with powers over the element and abilities Ethos gave them. This armor was crafted by Ethos and each gave more power to the wearer that had that ability.
Next the prophecy speaks of a day the two worlds conjoin again or at least partially." She stopped at that for a second. "This was meant to happen."
"What is the rest?" I asked.
"It says that when that day comes, five heroes who Ethos has given the abilities of his children to, will rise and build a empire to destroy the Titans and Erebus."
I stumbled as if something had punched me. It all hit me. "What children had what ability?" I asked a little shaken.
"One will have dominion of shadows, space, natural disasters, darkness and he will be the most powerful. One will have dominion over hurricanes and water and shall be the second most powerful. One will have dominion over lightning which will be the third most powerful. One will have dominion over the sun and light and will be the fourth most powerful. And the final will be the one will have dominion over metals and electricity." She said. "The new heroes will have armor similar to the old when they all find the armor of the old heroes."
"So these heroes.." I said feeling sick. "They'll stop Erebus and the Titans. Anything thing else that's important?"
"No." She said.
I stood there silent for a good deal of time before I spoke. "Thank you for telling me this." I said at last. "No one will know that you were here um.. What's your name?"
"Ashley." She said.
"Ok Ashley no one will know you've been here." I said.
"Thank you *****." She said. "Anytime you want to talk about this or anything else just come find me."
"I will." I said with a smile. "How about here again? This was fun."
"Ok." She said.
I was about to say something else when I heard something familiar to me. I heard spiders. I turned around to see that spiders were in the temple. German Shepard sized spiders that looked at Ashley and jumped for her. She screamed but I jumped and tackled the spider midair and grabbed my scythes.
The other spider jumped on my back and I threw it off and stomped on it and left the worlds biggest stomped spider on the floor. Two more were crawling on the ceiling so I threw my scythes and got both of them before the scythes came back to my hand and the first spider jumped on me tackling me to the ground. The spider tried to bite my neck but suddenly it went limp and fell off me. I looked over to see my scythes that I dropped plunged into its face.
I turned to Ashley. "That was awesome!" I yelled.
"It wasn't that much." She said blushing.
"You just killed a giant spider by putting two scythes into its face." I said. "That's pretty cool."
"And you tackled one midair, threw one over your back to stomp on it and then threw two scythes that got both targets and came back to your hands." She said.
"Power moves only." I said smiling. "And we are getting your outfitted with weapons and armor after this."
"I don't have any supplies for it." She said.
"I got plenty." I said. "Stop by later and I'll give you some."
"Ok." She said.
"And now I get to go find out what this prophecy means and the armor now." I said. "I'll melt it down and reinforce my armor with it now. Wanna come?"
"Sure. We can stop and get stuff for my armor too." She said.
"Let's go." I said.
We got the stuff she wanted her armor and weapons to be made of and got my armor to reinforce. I grabbed stuff for the scythes because I had a plan for those.
When we got to the forge I went to work on my armor and my other weapons. All my stuff except my guns would be reinforced with this old ancient armor. By the time I finished my armor looked more like black and red demonic Spartan armor while my weapons looked the same as the armor mixed with what they did before. I finished my surprise on the scythes which we'll find out later when Ashley walked in.
Her armor was made of silver, diamonds and rose quartz crystal. The pattern design was that of a angel and the helmet was as well. Her weapons were two daggers with a diamond studded grip and silver and rose quartz as the blade, a small short sword that had a similar design but the guard was made of gold and shaped like wings and finally a bow with a flexible gold and silver reinforced string while the rest of the bow was rose quartz except for the diamonds studded on the bow which has shape like a pair of wings.
"Wow." Was all I could say.
"Thanks." She said. "Same to you."
"Oh um thanks." I said sheepishly. I looked out and it was night. "Wow we were in there for a long time."
"Wow we were."Ashley said. "My house is on the way to yours. Walk me home?"
"Sure." I said. So we began walking to her house. We laughed and talked on the way while admiring the city lights. Little Ancient Modern Sparta is what she called it. Finally we got to her house that was made of Quartz and silver.
"Well see you soon." I said.
"You too. Thanks for walking back with me." She said.
"Anytime. It was fun." I said. I don't think I'd rather do anything else these days."
"Aw thanks." She said blushing.
"I mean um." I stuttered.
"I know what you mean." She said smiling.
"So see you tomorrow maybe?" I said.
"I wouldn't rather do anything else these days." She said smiling as she closed the door.
"So who's the girl Romeo?" A familiar voice said.
I spun to see Wyatt standing there smiling. "You followed me the whole time?" I asked.
"No. Just saw you leave the forge with her so I decided to check it out." He said. "I also heard the stuff at the temple. I was behind a pillar."
"So you know what we have to do?" I asked. He nodded. "Go reinforce your stuff with the older armor."
"Will do. Just one question?" He said.
"What?" I asked.
"What's her name?" He said smiling.
"Jackass." I said. "I think it was On the Ground Gasping for Breath."
"Wait what?" He asked before I kicked him in the balls.
"Ha why you on the ground gasping for breath?" I said laughing. He raised his arm up and gave me the middle finger. "Ha yeah your good."
I helped him up and we went different ways. I went home and collapsed on my bed and passed out.
I woke up to screaming and a explosion. I grabbed my gear and rushed to the roof to see what happened. Monsters were attacking the gate. They had a army attacking us with explosives taking down the front gate.
I saw Matthew and Cayden at the front lines but they were being surrounded. Charles was in his suit but he was being overwhelmed. They wouldn't last long. If only I could get to them faster!
"The armor helps enhance your strength and abilities." A voice in my head said. "I've given you flight first. Now go!"
I decided to listen to the voice and jumped off my palace. While falling i tried to think of getting there and all of a sudden black starry wings sprouted from my armor. I spun in air as I pulled up from the ground and flew towards the battle over people's heads. I was there in a matter of seconds as I pulled out my sword and cut through the front line of mobs by rolling and dodging with my wings as I cut through them.
I grabbed a zombie and flew up high in the air and sped towards the ground and slammed him into the ground. I got up and my wings went away but I felt so much power raging through me. I took out my scythes and decided to do my new little trick. I put both handles together with the blades facing opposites directions and extended the handle till it was six a six foot staff with a scythe blade on each end facing the opposite of the other. I spun the new weapon around in circles and kept getting any mob that came within six feet. My friends saw all this and attacked in renewed strength till only one mob was left. A 9 foot tall zombie with a weird looking armor on that had a giant axe.
I stepped forward and pulled out my sword. The zombie and I stared at eachother for a moment then we immediately began our fight. I willed my wings to come out from my armor and I jumped into the air with them to stab the zombie in the face but he blocked the strike and went to swing at me but I flew under the strike. I used my wings to help my speed and kept striking at the zombie until he finally managed to knock me back with the flat side of the axe. I collapsed to the ground and before i fully regained my senses I rolled out of the way when the zombie jumped and slammed the axe into where I was. I got up and flew at him and threw him into the air. Then I grabbed my scythes an threw them into the air where the zombie was. They sent the zombie another forty feet into the air while tearing up the zombies armor. I flew up and my scythes came back to my hands but I took out my Warhammer and sent him flying up another twenty feet and then flew above him to slam him back into the ground. I threw the hammer at the zombie and the zombie fell crashed into the ground with my warhammer.
I flew back down and grabbed my warhammer and turned to my people. I raised my warhammer in the air and gave out a victory cry. Everyone joined in on the cry.
Surprisingly we had no casualties. Many were injured but none dead. We held the lines for what we loved and we won. Now to explain to the others how I can fly..
