Kid Icarus: Pantheon-IC Open(We'll never close)

[Osnil]

Earth
Ironus dropped the arrow like a hot potato. . . "Which I could really go for right now." . . . and then was smacked in the face by Thanatos. He flew upwards and said, "It's time for Round 2." He flew towards Thanatos firing a full-power energy blast.
Batus, in the meantime, took his fist and planted it firmly in Hades' jaw, then used the left to hit him in the eye.

Batus, in the meantime, took his fist and planted it firmly in Hades' jaw, then used the left to hit him in the eye.

"REALLY OSNIL?! MY GOSH DANG EYE AGAIN?!" Hades exclaimed, absolutely shattering the 4th wall. he then retaliated with an uppercut to Batus, followed by a blast of magic to his chest. Thor saw Hades now black eye, and took advantage of it, flying up in the Chariot, and planting Mjolnir firmly in it. Hades shrieked in pain, falling to his knees. "Hey! allies! I could use some help here!" He exclaimed. Thantos managed to dodge the blast, then transformed into... a hat? "Yes! A hat, and imma pull a rabbit out of it!" Thanatos said, pointing the hole at Ironus, and firing exploding toy rabbits at him.

Earth
Batus glared into the face of Hades before getting an uppercut and a blast of magic to the chest, throwing him backwards. He lurched forward and retaliated by giving Hades a kick to the face in the eye that Mjolnir didn't whack. Yes, Hades, the eye again.
As the bunnies appeared, Ironus reached forward to cuddle one and it exploded in his face. He fired a blast inside the hole of the hat pouring out exploding bunnies and said, "How can you use such an adorable toy to be so evil?"

"These are really good noodles."

The statement wasn't being made to anyone in particular, the cook operating the streetside stand having long since run screaming from the area, along with the handful of other patrons. Standing some six feet in height, her black hair occasionally being whipped about by the wind and the occasional explosion, the woman still at the noodle stand would not have stuck out in a crowd save for her clothing and red eyes marking her for not being a native to the region. A wandering swordsman, perhaps, a mercenary given the blades clearly sheathed on her belt, the weapons occasionally obscured by her purple cloak. Nothing unusual...

Well, aside from the fact she was leaning on a strangely intact section of wall in the middle of a warzone, and she was apparently more interested in the bowl of noodles she was snacking on than on the monsters rampaging in the area. Nevermind the death and destruction everywhere, and especially hard to miss, the battle of divine agents and their various representatives overhead. Not even Draksis putting in a kaiju-sized appearance in the sky seemed to take her attention away from her meal. The charred/frozen/artfully dismembered remnants of various unidentifiable mooks in a roughly 50 foot ring from her position lent further evidence that the dark-haired woman was not merely a mercenary.

Those had to be some positively divine damned noodles.

Still, she did spare the occasional glance at the maelstrom, chuckling quietly at Thanatos' antics, which promptly got upgraded to open laughter at Hades being the victim of repeated Eye Screams.

"Really good noodles, and a show. Awesome."

"Because im me! dur dur dur!" Thanatos said, transforming into a large key. "Lets unlock that head of yours! HOO HOO HOO!" Thanatos rushed Ironus, attempting to stab him in the head. Meanwhile Hades was getting a real "kick" out of the whole situation. "How can you laugh at my expense?!" Because I can. "Oh whatever!" Hades grabbed The Chariot with a quick motion, tossing it into Batus's face. Thor and Pit were sent flying. "Gahhh! bloody little..." Thor muttered.

[Mundeo]

The sheet heat of the arrow began to burn through Ironus' armor. Apollo snarled, his eyes ablaze. "First off, we're. Second, you have no business intruding my... Business. This... blasphemer tries to steal my name! I am the sun god!"

With a wave of his hand, the Pyrrhon's fireball stopped mere feet from him, and went back in the direction of its sender.

"Wait, guys!" Lyron wailed, waving his arms frantically at the battling gods. In a panic he looked to the sky and saw that the sun would be setting soon.

Pyrrhon would absorb his fire. "You're just jealous that you don't have MY looks! Pyrrhon is far more better looking than you!" He said, a grin on his face. "I hate to interrupt, but you might wanna duck." Hades said, suddenly flying through a portal, with Thor and Pit hot on his heels. "You wont be getting away Laddie! you're done for!" Thor yelled, Mjolnir high in the air. Hades laughed. "Oh please!" he fired several blasts of darkness at the Chariot, causing the goats to swerve to avoid it. Pit was hanging on for dear life. "AHHHH! LADY PALUTENA!" he cried, gripping to the rails. "Oh Pit stop! you're fine! just focus on Hades." Palutena said, trying to reassure the angel, it didnt work. Palutena then turned her attention to Apollo. "Oh and Brother, could you save this until later? we have bigger things to do right now!" she said.

Despite Palutena's efforts, her words didn't reach Apollo. "Me? Jealous? You're nothing but fire!" The god ran his hand through his golden blonde hair, it flowing in the breeze. "You don't even have this"

Lyron watched, shifting from afraid to somewhat confused. At least if their going to fight, let it be a nonviolent argument on devine fashion.

The battles raged on in the background, but Pyrrhon didn't care right now. He had to prove his divine beauty! "Maybe, but im HOT! am I right ladies? oh you bet Im right! Pyrrhon is always right!" he said. Palutena sighed. "Brother? hello? you listening to me?" she asked, annoyance growing in her voice.

[Himdah do Lu]

Drakol had returned, swarming in bat form and using his thousands of mouths to bite his enemies, though it wouldn't be a true Vampire Bite, just a bat bite... I guess they'd get rabies? Maybe? At any rate, the Vampire God was swarming and fighting as a bunch of bats. Meanwhile, Hahnu was opening a gateway to the Dream Realm, to allow his Dream Eaters to join the fight.

"Follow the Gods of Good, you'll know who they are because reasons!" he ordered, smiling.

Far away, in the icy mountains, another deity was playing with children. White covered everyone, the god smiling as the children caught much of the white on their tongues.

"Don't you guys love the snow?" he asked, catching some of the white snow falling from the sky on his tongue.

The deity's name was Hielo. He smiled, leaning on his large, wooden staff. That smile faded as he heard the cries of the gods, battlecries, but still cries. Jumping into the air, Hielo flew through the air, looking to join the battle.

[Eodor]

"What is going on" shouted End at Palutena "Aren't those guys on the same side"

[Osnil]

Earth
Batus grabbed the Chariot in midair and smashed it down on some unfortunate Underworlders.
Ironus flew forward as Thanatos the Key chased him. Ironus flew upward as the Giant Key stabbed Hades in the eye.

Pyrrhon is always right!" he said. Palutena sighed. "Brother? hello? you listening to me?" she asked, annoyance growing in her voice.

"Hot? Please. I am the Sun for crying out loud! The ladies have never seen anything hotter than this" Apollo struck a dramtic pose, the heat radiating off of him enough to keep the Underworld forces at bay for a good ten yard radius.

"Oh yeah?! well Pyrrhon-" "WOULD YOU BOTH SHUT UP?! WE HAVE BIGGER PROBLEMS!" Palutena yelled, her entire body shaking. meanwhile- "GAAAHHAHAHAHA! THANNY WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING!" Hades screams interrupted the narrator. he pulled Thanatos out of his eye, and tossed him back at Ironus. "Sorry Lord Hades..." Thanatos said, sounding quite pathetic. Underworld forces went after the Dream Eaters, lead by the Hewdraw, which had now arrived on the scene.

[Osnil]

Earth
"Would both of you stop fighting each other and fight the Underworlders? I think Hades is out for a while," Ironus said.
Batus, in the meantime, grabbed the Hewdraw by one of the heads and began slapping the Underworlders with it.

[Eodor]

"What on Earth is going on" End shouted to the good team in general." You are a rubbish narrator. I mean seriously".

"Would both of you stop fighting each other and fight the Underworlders? I think Hades is out for a while," Ironus said.
Batus, in the meantime, grabbed the Hewdraw by one of the heads and began slapping the Underworlders with it.

"We're killing bloody Underworlders! get to it Laddie!" Thor said, talking to end. the Magenta Hewdraw head bit Batus on the hand. "UNHAND US YOU FIEND!" It exclaimed. "No no no, you're supposed to ask nicely, Please release us Lord Batus." Blue head said. Purple head in the meantime wriggled around trying to escape. "FORGET BEING NICE! LET ME GO!" It shouted, managing to escape the god's grip, firing a fire ball in his face. Batus would then find a fist firmly planted in his back. "OUT, AM I?!" Hades yelled. "Brownie points to whoever names that reference in the OOC!"

[Mundeo]

"Hot? Please. I am the Sun for crying out loud! The ladies have never seen anything hotter than this" Apollo struck a dramtic pose, the heat radiating off of him enough to keep the Underworld forces at bay for a good ten yard radius.

Underworld forces went after the Dream Eaters, lead by the Hewdraw, which had now arrived on the scene.

Apollo scoffed. "Alright... fine". He turned his head from Pyrrhon, and picked up his bow once more. Pulling back the string of his bow, he fired in rapid succession three burning arrows into each of the Hewdraw's heads.

[Eodor]

"What do you think I've been doing since I got here" End shouted to Thor.

Batus drew his hand back, then recieved a hit to the back. "Spiderman is so overrated," Ironus replied, firing multiple energy blasts at Hades, hoping to increase the Hades Eye Smashed Count by at least one, "In fact, it was so crappy, that it's being rebooted for the third time."

A batarang flew towards Hades' face, and Ailos appeared in the air with hundreds of Giant Bats (see the Justice Army app) along with Iepatos, and Aella. Icarus, in the meantime, was riding on a Giant Bat wielding a Bat
"Looks like it's time to hit Hades with the eye-ron!" shouted Ailos.
"Very good, Sir," Icarus replied.
"Quit with the stupid puns!" Aella insisted. She was the only member of the Justice Army not being a diety that used a bow. Firing it into the Hewdraw.

[The Dark Brotherhood of Deros]

Hewdraw was struck by all of the attacks, and they roared with pain. "THAT'S IT! YOU'RE ALL DEAD!" Magenta yelled, spewing fireballs in all directions. the other heads went along with it, and soon the air was filled with fire. Hades in the mean time was done with the eye shots. he brought his hand up, and deflected the shots. as the Baterang flew to its target, it would be blown apart by Thanatos, who was now a giant floating cannon. "BOOM! YAY FIREWORKS!" he exclaimed. "Nice one Thanny! now lets finish this!" Hades said. he flew back from Batus, and focused. A third eye would appear on his forhead, bearing the Underworld army insignia instead of an iris. Hades brought his head back, as energy was drawn into it.
"BYE BYE BAT! HAHAHAHAHA!!!" Hades shouted, lurching his head forward, and firing a massive beam of energy from his eye.

[Eodor]

"Oi, Hades that's cheating" End shouted "But if you can do it." He held up his hand and started shooting beams of energy out of it "I can"

[The Dark Brotherhood of Deros]

"Oi, Hades that's cheating" End shouted "But if you can do it." He held up his hand and started shooting beams of energy out of it "I can"

"OF COURSE ITS CHEATING! IM FREAKING EVIL!" Hades said, making yet another reference that will receive brownie points in the OOC. The beams of energy would strike Hades, slightly knocking him off target.

[Osnil]

Batus was blasted back by Hades' eye. "The Eye strikes back," noted Ailos, "next thing you know one of us will be frozen in Carbonite."
Ironus fired an energy blast into the mouth of the Thanatos Cannon and said, "Kaboom."

Earth

Her noodles eaten, the mercenary-who-probably-wasn't-just-a-mercenary had shifted to find a reasonably comfortable chunk of debris to recline on in an open courtyard, having filched some plush cushions and one of those fancy personal awnings rich merchants were fond of to make it more comfortable. The awning might have seemed an odd choice, being the sort of thing that really wouldn't do squat against splash damage from the fighting still raging overhead, but if anyone had asked, that wasn't the point.

"Let's see..." She briefly licked her finger and held it upright, apparently checking the wind direction, though given explosions and such from the battle, how useful or accurate the results were was debatable. Still, she was apparently satisfied with whatever results she got, a contented grin plastered all over her face. "Any moment, now."

Earth- 5 days ago, several thousand miles away from the present location
A butterfly flapped its wings, the tiny shift in air movement-

No, not really, but a similar concept applies. In this case, the "butterfly" was the definitely-not-a-mercenary careening through the air at a suitably high altitude where things like air pressure and "breathing" and "not freezing to death" would be a problem for a mere mortal. Moving large quantities of air around in the upper atmosphere was the sort of thing that seemed perfectly harmless in the short term, just a gust of wind and no harm done. Which is true, in the short term. In the longer-term and over longer distances, however...

Earth - Back to the present!

Jet streams are kinda a big deal, driving the planet's weather system, moving dry cold fronts and moist warm fronts around. Thanks to the meddling days ago, a northern one had dipped south, bringing cold, dry air with it; and a southern one had slipped northward, bringing warm, moisture-laden air along. Coincidentally, the location the two met for a date was right over the region where the holy war was going on. Clouds began to boil up along the stormfront, bringing gusting winds and that peculiar greenish tinge to the sky that Midwesterners associate with supercell storms and tornado weather. Had stormchasing and Doppler radar been invented yet, they would be clearly identifying the imminent squall line as one of those "tornado/severe weather warnings over a tri-country area" messes preparing to cut loose.

By the not-a-mercenary's estimates, she was banking on at least one twister in at least the F4 range spawning from the storm system, along with a heaping helping of lightning, sideways-blowing rain, and if things went really well, potentially baseball sized or even larger hail. Really, not the sort of weather you want to be fighting a predominantly aerial melee in. Or in Hades case, probably not the sort of weather to be fighting in without eye protection.

The first peal of thunder growled across the sky, making her grin even wider and clap her hands in glee. "This is gonna be great!"

[Mundeo]

The Hewdraw's fire would arc and swirl in every direction but that of the "good guys". Like a thousand amber tendrils, the flames spiraled around Apollo like solar flares.

"Nice try, but fire isn't going to work here!" He said boastfully. He threw his arms back as if to release the flames in what woukd have a been a rather powerful blast, but the flames were suddenly wicked away.

"Aw... dang it" Apollo whimpered, turning to the sky. The sun was almost fully over the horizon. The god's sun like aura faded to only a faint glow. "Welp. I've got a show to catch. So if you care to find me, look to the western sky!". He pointed drastically to the sky before being whisked away by his chariot, riding majestically into the sunset before dipping below the horizon.

On cue, the first silver lights of the moon shone through the fresh brewed storm clouds. The cold rays projected in the form of a young women with silver hair and a like dress.

"I see you're up to no good again, uncle" She said, her voice like a blizzard, sharp and cold.

"Artemis!" Lyron said enthusiastically.

[The Dark Brotherhood of Deros]

"Oh good... you... come to tell me how bad a person I am Artie?" Hades asked, clearly not amused at the arrival of the moon goddess. then the storm hit. Lightning struck Hades, doing no damage, but making him yelp. "That wasn't there before. Thor, did you cause this?" the god of thunder was currently on the ground, holding a wounded Pit. after the chariot was thrown, Pit and Thor struck the ground. Thor being a god was fine, Pit however was out cold.

"Nay. this isn't my doing Laddie." Thor said. Palutena noticed Pit, and she gasped. "Pit! Is he okay?" she asked, concern in her voice. "He's a tough one. He'll pull through." came Thor's response. Palutena blew a sigh of relief. "Oh good." she said. she then saw Artemis. "Sister! Its about time you got here. the battle isn't going well." she said. Pyrrhon laughed. "You mean its not going well for them! Pyrrhon is doing just fine! lets end this right now!" He said, flying full force at Thanatos, who was already stunned by the explosion. Pyrrhon struck him, sending poor Thanatos flying. "IM BLASTING OFF AGAIN!!!" he screamed, as he vanished with a twinkle, forcing a face-palm from Hades.
