Grypas:" Your welcome"
Grypas get back inside Griffin
Sora:" Well now we need to find the arena…"
Razor:" Where can we find the arena tho"
Selena points at a building:" You mean that?"
Griffin:" That's where we going alright"
They began to walk toward the arena… and finally, they arrived and take a seat to watch some brawl
Griffin:" Wow, so this is the arena… looks so ancient"
Sora:" Yea, yet so strong of a structure…"
Razor:" Can I join the fight there I really wanted to test my power"
Mary:" …"
She's looking towards the person on the throne watching the brawl with a sinister look…, and the person from the throne looks back
???:" Ah… so it's you…, the time is near, isn't it? Well, to meet me in person you need to send a warrior to the arena, and if he's worthy, you all can talk to me in person"
Back at the seat
Mary:��� Razor… you can join the arena…"
The others:" EHHHH????"
Razor:" Alright!!! Yea!!!! Finally, I can try using this power"
Sora:" Why?"
Mary:" You'll see"
Razor:" Alright I'll go now"
Razor enters the arena…
The arena guy:" WE HAVE A NEW CHALLENGER"
On the throne…
???:" So, you really sent one…, you really can't be underestimated, Daughter of Artemis…"
At the arena stage…
Razor:" So who are my opponents?"
The arena guy:" First of you'll start with fighting a mercenary and as you progress, you'll fight against the Sword of Ares"
At the seat…
Griffin:" The… THE SWORD OF ARES?
Mary:" …"
Griffin:" There's no way Razor will win the final"
Mary:" We'll see…"
Selena, Sora:" Huh…?"
At the arena stage…
Razor:" Alright bring him in"
The mercenary enters the arena
The mercenary:" YOU WILL BE FINISHED HERE, RIGHT HERE AND NOW!"
Razor:" Are you feeling proud of yourself cuz you're tough? And I'm all looking like this?"
The mercenary:" ENOUGH WITH THE TALKING…"
The mercenary starts to attack Razor but…
Razor:" Hmm, Foolish…, Leo…"
Razor uses the aura of the Nemean Lion inside him to attack… so he needs no effort… the mercenary has been defeated…
Razor:" EZPZ"
At the seat…
Griffin:" Wow…"
Sora:" He didn't even need to move a muscle"
On the throne…
???:" Hmm, interesting…, that aura of yours… the Nemean Lion in Lyra's temple isn't it… so you're the one who tamed it"
Back at the arena… Razor easily defeated all of the Mercenary and finds himself in the final
The arena guy:" It seems you have passed… well now…, meet your final opponent…"
Razor:" Huh, the Sword of Ares… bring him in"
The Sword of Ares:" This is where it all ends now…"
Razor:" Who are you… that 'ARES' title you have there won't scare me"
The Sword of Ares:" Such a brave word from someone who is foolish and not using his powers wisely"
Razor:" Huh…? Enough with the chit chats let's fight now…, Leo!"
The Sword of Ares:" Alright if you insist…"
The Sword of Ares summons an armor, a sword, also Razor uses the aura of Leo again…
The Sword of Ares:" Let me see that power of the Nemean Lion"
Razor:" Oh, you'll see it alright, LEO!!! CLAW OF THE KINGS"
The Sword of Ares:" Hm, pathetic… Ares…"
The Sword of Ares uses the aura of Ares to block the damage
At the seat…
Sora:" What is that thing… so bright red…"
Mary:" …"
Back to the arena…
Razor:" Huh? Why…"
The Sword of Ares:" Pathetic I said…, you're not using your powers wisely, the Nemean Lion has more than that… well, now it's my turn…"
The Sword of Ares attacks Razor with his sword… It didn't create a hole in his body but it knocks Razor to the wall and he passed out
The Sword of Ares:" I won't even use my full potential against an opponent like you"
At the seat
Griffin:" RAZOR"
Selena:" *gasp*
Mary:" Griffin… go in there… fight him"
Griffin:" Uh… alright"
Griffin enters the arena
The arena guy:" WELL LOOK WE HAVE SOMEONE NEW TO CHALLENGE THE SWORD OF ARES"
The Sword of Ares:" So… you're Griffin…"
Griffin:" How do you know…"
The Sword of Ares:" I will answer that… once you win against me…, give me a great fight would you"
Griffin:" Urgh…"
Griffin uses the aura of Gryphon…
The Sword of Ares:" So this is how the aura of Gryphon feels like… magnificent… Ares…"
Griffin:" Urgh… that Ares of yours…"
The Sword of Ares:" Right, he helps me win in every fight…"
Griffin:" How many win streak do you have now?"
The Sword of Ares:" I don't know… probably near a thousand"
Griffin:" Nice"
The Sword of Ares:" Thank you, but this is not the place for chit chat… Ares…"
The Sword of Ares began to attack Griffin without a warn…
Griffin:" Huh…"
Good thing that aura of Gryphon grants Griffin a wing so he can dodge the attack, but…
The Sword of Ares:" Look behind kid"
The Sword of Ares suddenly appears behind Griffin and knock him towards a wall, same with Razor but Griffin doesn't pass out
At the seat:
Sora, Leena:" GRIFFIN"
At the arena stage…
Griffin:" Argh…"
Grypas:" Let me become one with you kid"
Griffin:" No…, not yet"
The Sword of Ares:" Do you even understand how much power you have?"
Griffin grunting:" I don't…, it's because I never really care about it, but it seems I need to care now is it…"
The Sword of Ares:" Hmm…"
Griffin grunting:" I never thought that this thing inside me, this power will be used one day…, but here…, now…, it makes me realize that nothing is useless…"
The Sword of Ares:" You're just like your father… always thinks that the power in him is useless…"
Griffin grunting:" I never think it's useless…, I just don't want this power to become chaos and danger to myself…"
The Sword of Ares:" How pathetic…, you've wasted all of the potentials within you-"
Griffin:" Shut… up…"
The Sword of Ares:" Huh…?"
Griffin:" It's time Grypas…"
Grypas:" Hm, finally you needed my help in trouble… alright then…"
Griffin:" I believe in us"
Griffin and Grypas become one and emit very bright rays…
Gryphon:" *eagle sound*
The Sword of Ares:" Wh…"
At the seat…
Sora:" Wh… at…"
Leena:" Griffin?"
Selena:" What the…"
Mary:" …"
At the arena stage…
Gryphon:" *still makes a loud eagle noise"
The Sword of Ares:" So… you've decided to become one…"
Gryphon:" Enough! I'll win this fight and I will get the answers"
Gryphon unites the sides of its wings and emit a light beam that is so powerful that if any ordinary humans get hit by the beam it will make a hole in his body and yea die…
The Sword of Ares:" So this is the power of the Gryphon… impressive…, alright I'll surrender"
Gryphon:" Huh?"
The Sword of Ares:" You've shown me that you're worthy… meet me near the entrance of the arena I'll show you something… and oh yea bring them also"
The Sword of Ares walked out the door and Razor become cautious…
Razor:" Argh… what happen…"
Griffin:" We win…"
Razor:" W-w-we…?"
Griffin:" Yea…"
Razor:" …"
The other approaches them
Sora:" You okay Razor…?"
Razor:" Yea I'm fine"
Selena:" Are you hurt?"
Razor:" No I'm fine"
Mary:" Griffin…, where did he tell you to meet him?"
Griffin:" At the entrance to the Arena"
Sora:" Let's go then"
They walk outside to the entrance…
The Sword of Ares:" It's been a long time, Mary…"
Mary:" Yes, it's been so long…, Alexios"
Griffin:" Alexios?"
The Sword of Ares:" That's my name alright… I see that you're here to seek clues and answers"
Sora:" We are…"
Alexios:" And I know you're here to look for the ancient forge also isn't it?"
Griffin:" Yes we are…"
Alexios:" Follow me then"
They followed Alexios to the Ancient forge
Alexios:" It's dark around here…, watch your steps"
Razor:" I can't even see a thing…"
Griffin:" How do you even see in dark places…"
Alexios:" It's only dark here at the stairway, inside the forge is not this dark"
Halfway through there's tunnels in front of them…
Alexios:" Uh… to be honest I forgot where we should be going…"
Razor:" Oh look the mighty 'ARES' forgot where to go"
Alexios:" Grr—"
Meanwhile, Mary uses her hunter sense given by Artemis and finds the way
Mary:" It's trough here"
Alexios:" Well-well, you look like you still have that sense of yours isn't it"
Mary:" Maybe"
They finally entered the forge…
At the forge…
Btw before this, something happens at the Temple…
???:" It's time…"
Lyra:" Shadow of Hades…"
Shadow of Hades:" Unfortunately you will follow me now"
Shadow of Hades activates the curse to Lyra
Lyra:" Argh…"
Lyra's hair turned black, his outfit turned black too, and his eyes changed to red
Shadow of Hades:" Well-well, this'll be fun"
Back at the forge…
Griffin:" Whoa…"
Alexios:" This is the place where the warriors before forge their weapons"
Sora:" And your sword…?"
Alexios:" It's a gift from Ares himself, the armor too"
Griffin:" So you don't make your weapon here?"
Alexios:" Nope, no need, alright so choose your weapons, It'll be automatically forged into a crystal"
Razor:" How is that even possible"
Alexios:" You seem underestimated the Ancient Civilization, it'll be summoned like my sword if you're ever in need"
Razor:" Sounds cool…, well I'll look around for a weapon that matches my personality"
Griffin:" Yea, me too"
They then look around for weapons
Griffin:" Well, I think I've found mine… a Crane Sword…"
Razor:" Looks like a Katana…"
Griffin:" I know right… cool"
Razor:" This axe looks cool"
Selena:" Hey this bow looks nice"
Sora:" I'll go with this spear…, just like Leonidas…, what about you Leena?"
Leena:" I'll take this dagger…"
Razor:" Seriously… a dagger?"
Leena:" Yea…"
Alexios:" Alright put your weapons here and it'll become a crystal, like mine here"
Alexios shows the crystal on his hands
Razor:" Do you mean that if it turned to crystal, we need to plant it on our hands?"
Alexios:" Nah, this is Ares's gift so yea, you don't need to just put it in your pocket or anywhere"
Griffin:" Alright…, ok"
They put it in the forge table and become crystals
Griffin:" Whoa…"
Razor:" Nice…"
Alexios:" Alright I guess we're done here"
Mary:" Do you know where we need to go next?"
Alexios:" Unfortunately, I don't know… but some report says that there's been volcanic activity in the Xierra island"
Mary:" That mountain hasn't been active for centuries…"
Alexios:" I know, but the people reported that there's someone who crossed the line"
Sora:" Crossed the line?"
Mary:" Well you see, the Volcanic mountain there is a sacred place of the Dragons…, so when someone crossed the line it means that he/she has crossed it and ignore the warning from the people"
Griffin:" Dragons…"
Mary:" Yes… he could be there"
Sora:" Lord of Dragons…"
Alexios:" Well let's go then we should help the people there"
Sora:" Right, we should head there now"
They exited the forge and walks toward the exit
Sora:" So how do we get there exactly"
Alexios:" Oh there's a military area nearby we can ask them to bring us there with the helicopter"
Razor:" Alright so let's go then…"
Before they even walk a meter away, Razor bumps to someone…
Razor:" Oh sorry I didn't see"
???:" That's okay kid"
The person is wearing a cloak and he's not alone…
The cloaked guy:" So which one of you is Leena?"
Leena:" E-e-eh?"
Griffin:" What do you want with her?"
The cloaked guy:" Well, my master told me to bring her back to our place…"
Griffin:" Who's your master, and who are you"
The cloaked guy:" Oh yea, it would be rude if I didn't introduce myself first, isn't it"
The cloaked guy opened his hood…
The cloaked guy:" The name's Nyx, I'm one of the followers of Hades…"
Razor:" Huh? Come again?"
Nyx:" You heard me correctly, now time to get my objective…"
Griffin:" Urgh, I won't let you touch her…"
Griffin took out his sword but suddenly someone parries him with staff so OP that it made the sword flew away…
Griffin:" Huh… that staff…"
Griffin looks at the face of that someone
Griffin:" DAD?"
Razor:" Heh?"
Sora:" What happened to him… his eyes are red, and his outfit and hair turn black…"
Mary:" The curse…"
Sora:" Curse??!!"
Mary:" He told me that back at the Temple…, he had it since he fought with Shadow of Hades, the curse will only active if he step his foot on the outside world, or if Shadow of Hades himself activates it…"
Razor:" Eh?"
Griffin:" Is there any way, to break the curse?"
Mary:" There's a way, but it'll only break if Griffin uses the power of Gryphon and uses one of his healing power to heal the scars"
Griffin:" Alright… I'll do it…"
Griffin uses Gryphon's Aura
Griffin:" Now… to heal the scars"
Nyx:" Don't let that boy come closer to him"
The other Hades followers:" Right!"
They move towards Griffin and tries to attack him, but yea he's too OP
Nyx:" Argh…"
Lyra:" …"
Griffin:" Dad…"
Griffin tries to heal the scars but Lyra is being struck by lightning that comes out from the scar… and what do you know Hades controls him and his guardian Zeus as well, so…
Lyra:" ARGHHHH…."
Griffin:" Huh…? What is this feeling…"
Alexios:" The king of gods… Zeus…"
Hades release the aura of Zeus from Lyra's body and….
Lyra:" Son…, get out of here…"
Griffin:" Huhhh???"
Lyra becomes cautious for a moment…. But then…
Lyra:" I don't want to do this…, but it's not my will…, Arghhhhhhh"
Lyra got struck again
Lyra:" …Zeus's barrier…"
Lighting struck from the sky, creates a barrier of lightning and they disappear within the barrier…
Griffin:" Ah…, They're gone!"
Leena picks Griffin's crystal and gave it back to him…
Leena:" G-Griffin…, here's your crystal…"
Griffin:" Ah thank you, Leena"
Leena:" Y-your welcome…"
Alexios:" The curse… so strong that he can even control his powers…, I think if you want to break the curse, you need to train your powers first…"
Razor:" *in mind* Train your powers…"
Sora:" Hmm…, well he's gone…, now we should get moving…"
Griffin:" Ah, right"
They continued, and finally arrived at a Military base…
Alexios:" Well, we need to take chopper from here…"
Griffin:" Alright then if it needs to be done"
They take a Chopper and when they're on their way to Xierra Island
Griffin:" Hey, aunt what do you think they want to do with Leena?"
Mary:" I don't know…"
Griffin:" …"
Alexios:" Well, whatever they want with her, probably uses her powers for evil…"
Sora:" That's right… what else does the followers of Hades wants with her?"
Razor:" I don't know, rape her?"
The others:" HEHHHH????"
Griffin:" What did you say?"
Razor:" Rape her… I mean c'mon it's possible right…"
Griffin:" You're out of your mind…"
Razor:" Guess so…"
Selena:" You're always out of your mind…"
Razor:" Not always but… I guess you're right…"
Griffin:" Well whatever they want with Leena, I won't let them touch her"
Leena:" E-eh? *in mind* Griffin…"
Razor:" Well look here a dove in love~~~"
Griffin:" Maybe…"
They continue to chit chat and then they've arrived at the Xierra Island…
