Some would say humans are to be feared when hatred rules in their hearts for one another, but much more dreadful when an unknown forces takes over their hearts with just a whisper, destruction can be done in matter of seconds, diseases are unleashed, people killing eachother for the fun of it, economy crashes, countries wages war against another and Chaos reigns in ultimate supremacy, the wrath of Chaos consumes everyone as it takes over the alternate earth, in matter of seconds the whole world was in Shambles, diseases of all kinds broke out, half of the worlds population was destroyed and the rest were fighting to stay alive, either battling the diseases that makes humans lose control of their natural senses or they become absolutely erratic and dangerous. Chaos stood in the centre of the earth looking down and smiling at the havoc she's able to wreck in Pharrell's body, sooner or later she's going to have the power to destroy both the alternate earth and reality. Chaos "Yes my children, destroy, destroy" She shouted as the erratic humans were chasing some group of mortals, as they screamed dearly for their lives, like swarm of bees they invade every home and picked them up one by one, you wait, you get turned or fight back you might just survive, still the force of Chaos didn't stopped whispering into peoples ears. Chaos "Kill, Kill and destroy" she shouted as she raised up her hands red thunder struck the earth, fire consumed people who were stricken with thunder, it's just a matter of time before she takes over reality, the alternate earth has turned upside down without any country spared, the peace that was once known became stone dead like the graveyard, the unending wailing of people that gnashed their teeths in fear gives her great joy, she feeds on their fear and pains. As her army grew stronger in thousands, amongst her converts, those who have yielded completely to her voice, people who by standard are naturally evil, her definition of evil is so unique, her strategy for picking those who belongs to her is a distinct feature which is embedded in her DNA, a spot on taste for natural destroyers those who wields the power of the law whether they belong to the CIA, LAPD, Policemen,Thieves, Assassins, Judges, President of Nations as long as you have your hands dirty with blood, liers, Backbiters, haters of men, and all hidden evil that men commits has special position in her army; for her they are all easy to adopt without much effort, you might be doing her will without knowing it, she's swift in picking her prey with the help of Erebos and Chronos all evil doers must submit to her lordship, every of her converts gathered at every corner of the world, wearing armour of gold and silver, chanting all together and moving slowly and gradually. Armies of Chaos "Huuumm!" they all chanted together and continued "Huuuum, Skotono, Skotono Katastrefo" meaning kill, kill, destroy in greek, they continued chanting in orderly manner without stopping. Chaos " Nai paidia Mou" meaning yes my children as she urges them "na tous skotosoume olous" meaning kill them all she said slowly. Red lighting struck the earth core as she spoke. The sky turns red with little white clouds trying to fight their way to illuminate the heaven, a clear sign that something has gone wrong, Tyrese looks up to the sky Tyrese "Guys are you all seeing these?" he said as they all moved closer to eachother, their attackers surrounded them and were getting ready to attack Bruce "We can all see it" Tyrese "No I mean the sky" they all looked up and saw the conflict in the sky Paul "I don't like the look of this" he said Daisy "Has anyone ever thought what our powers could be now that we're Demigods?" she asked as if they were all meant to know Daphne "I guess that's the purpose of this exercise" Bruce "Let find out" as their backs touched eachother Tyrese "Seven against five that's fair enough, very fair" he said in a sarcastic tone, one the creatures launched his battle axe forward against Tyrese, he dodged it as they all scattered, he gave it a hard punch on the face with his left hand but it didn't flinch, gave it another but this time harder with his right, still he didn't move a muscle, Tyrese "Guys a little help here" the creature gave him an angry look Daphne "We're all busy" as she jumped on her attacker shoulder, gave it a knuckle on the head with her elbow, wrapped her two legs on it neck and brought it to the ground, Tyrese couldn't believe she brought her victim to the ground with just one move, as he moved backward the creature gave him a punch that threw him towards Bruce who successfully doged the thrust of a two edged spear but didn't see Tyrese coming, they both fell to the ground, Bruce stood up with anger "He's all yours" he told Tyrese as he decides to take the creature that threw Tyrese at him, Tyrese "Oh C'mon dude" he complained, An instinct kicks in Bruce leaped forward, he grew wings out of his back and flew towards it, Daisy who was fighting off two creatures saw the way Bruce flew and took one of the creature straight up into the sky, all the creatures were a bit surprised as they saw Bruce took off with one of them, they all paused fighting and watched. Paul kept on dodging his attackers every move, the moment it felt like they got him cornered he vanishes into thin air, they stood in confusion as they look around for him, he reappeared "Guys" he touched them by the shoulders and disappeared with them. Daisy "Let's do this" the two creatures infront of her looked at her with their weapons raised up in combat mode. "Uhnn" they said in a fearful tone, she moved away from them with the speed of light came back within the same second with some level of force and speed of lighting, grabbed them by the neck and slammed them to the ground, the impact made it look like the earth shook. Daphne dragged the creature she beats up across the grass and dropped it beside the other two creatures on the floor that Daisy just put to the ground. Daisy looked into her eyes and smiled for the accomplishment. Tyrese "Guyyyys" he called out to them, the creature Infront of him thrust the two edged spear at him, he parried it away from his chest with his left hand, turned around in 360°, took the creature by the head with his both hands and it head on his right shoulder, flip it forward, it landed on the ground with force "Wow! did you are that?" he said enthusiastically "Please tell me you saw that?" pointing to the creature behind him with his thumbs as he danced towards Daisy and Daphne, they both looked at him, amazed at his attitude, the creature stood up and tried to thrust him through, for some minutes it looks as if the whole world started moving in slow motion as it moves closer, Daphne and Daisy tried to warn him as they both shouted as loud as they can "Behind you" before he could turn around it was already too late, he turned and saw the weapon close to hid stomach, that's when he discovered he messed up, from nowhere Paul appeared and grabbed the creature by the shoulders disappeared with it and reappeared. Tyrese "Dude, how did you do that?" he asked with joy Paul who was angry, moved closer to him "Are you trying to get yourself killed?" looked him in the eyes, Bruce dropped in from the sky with his wings like an angel. Bruce "What did I miss?" they all looked at him. Daphne "Can somebody tell me what just happened?" Paul "For starters I think we almost got our a*s kicked" Daisy "Is everybody alright?" she asked, they all answered, "Yes" one after the other. A loud noise from afar caught their attention, they all ran towards the direction and appeared in the midst of the great city, everywhere is in pure disarray, some of the lesser gods were seen catering for eachother and trying to pick eachother up, Tyrese moved closer to one of them, tried to help him up "Are you okay?" he asked softly, he shook his head to his question. Bruce "What happened here?" he asked him Lesser god "We got attacked" Daisy, Paul and Tyrese looked at eachother. Daphne ran towards the temple of Zeus as they all followed her, Zeus who was sitting on his throne watched them as Daphne ran in and started walking with others behind her, they got to his presence. Bruce "Mighty Zeus I think we should all get some heads up when we're all going to be attacked all at once" Tyrese faced Aphrodite and Perseus who were standing on the right hand side of Zeus throne. Tyrese "And next time you guys are going to bail on us, you should let us know" he said unhappily Aphrodite "That was not our battle" Daphne "What? We got attacked right after we went through the resurrection water, is that not a test?" Zeus "No that's not the test, the battle you fought was not from heaven" he said Paul "Wait if the battle was not from heaven, then where was it from" he asked curiously Perseus "The battle is from Chaos" Daisy "No way, can he do that? I mean I thought he can't enter heaven" Zeus "She not he, Chaos is a primordial life form, the source of all metaphysical power, and your adversary, now that he possessed a mortal body, he's very powerful, he will be able to move between realms and wreck havoc, it's just a matter of time" Tyrese "Hold on, are you saying Chaos possessed a mortal body" he gesticulated with his hands "You mean entered him?" Zeus "Yes that's what possessing someone means, there are two realms, the physical realm controls the earth and everything you see which is reality and the realm unseen is the heaven, the alternate earth and the soul realm, the alternate earth is currently under great attack by Chaos" Bruce "If the alternate earth is been destroyed, what will happen to the our reality?" He asked Perseus "Every part of the world will start collapsing one after the other" Daisy moved forward in anticipation to get him correctly "What do you mean collapsing after the other?" she aske Zeus tapped the side of his table and a gigantic hologram of the world map appeared infront of them, he stood up and moved forward, Tyrese "Wait is that what I'm thinking?' he asked Zeus hold on, he clenched his fists together and throw it up in the sky, the hologram expanded into pictures and videos of places of people moving about with things happening all over the world, they all looked up and wowed, the view is so spectacular. Paul "I can't believe I'm watching the holographic display of the events happening around the world" Zeus "How about you experience it first hand" he brought the hologram down and tap it away with his right fingers, the hologram bursted into tiny particles and hit them one by one, the effect felt like they were caught up in the sky, from that moment they could see events happening around the world, the sight is so overwhelming, Zeus continued Zeus "If Chaos takes control of reality, diseases of all kinds will break out, the sea level will rise more than usual, world economy will collapse, countries will rise up against eachother, the number of people killing eachother will increase, all hell will break lose" as he was speaking the peaceful nature of the earth changed all at once and every part of the world became chaotic in matter of seconds, he took them from reality to alternate earth, they all saw the deteriorating condition of the alternate earth. Zeus "This is the alternate earth as we speak, if Chaos lay his hands on the Orb of mortals, he will become so powerful not even I can stop him" he exited the inter-dimensional view as they all get jolted back to reality, as Zeus sat back on his throne Tyrese "I think we should save alternate earth, people are dying there" he asked out of compassion Aphrodite "Yes but not now" Daphne "Where is the orb of mortal?" Perseus "It's somewhere between the heavens gate and the great wall of Rome" Bruce "How do we get there?" Zeus "When the time comes, you will all know" his answer agitated them but Daphne was quick to speak Daphne "When the time comes? I think we should be out there right now, this minutes trying to stop Chaos, we all have families and loved ones down there who knows nothing about what is coming, I think they deserve to know what is coming" Daisy "I can't believe I'm throwing my life way for this" she brought out her phone, Paul brought out his too as they made an attempt to dial some numbers Aphrodite "I'm sorry that won't work here" Daphne "Seriously? You've got to be kidding me" they started panicking, it just dawn on everyone of them what they got themselves into, the idea that their family is about to die hit them real hard Tyrese "I think if I'm gonna die, I should at least tell my mama" he made an attempt to move away. Bruce "Guys calm down, I know we all didn't sign up for this, we were chosen which means the gods didn't make a mistake, think about it why us?" he looked into their eyes and asked the question again "Why us?, there must be something about each and everyone here right now, we can do this" from what seem like a short motivational speech from Bruce, their level of confidence got rekindled. Bruce "We can do this" he charged them on, the gods were happy at their sudden change in mood. Zeus "I must warn you all, Chaos must not lay his hand on the orb of mortals" he didn't finish before Tyrese interjected him as he raised up his hands. Tyrese " Excuse me, quick question, what will happen if Chaos lay his hand on the Orb of Mortals?" Aphrodite quickly interjected him, her expression exhumes fear and uneasiness as she stepped forward "Noooo Chaos must not be in possession of the Orb of mortals" her mood quickly dwindled, she paused and continued "If he uses the orb on himself, he will become neither a god nor a mortal, he will be able to move between realms at will and he will be able to manifest all metaphysical power" Daisy "Did you say all metaphysical power?" she asked Aphrodite "Yes" she answered Daphne "And what could the powers be?" there was a great silence that followed her question before Perseus finally broke the silence Perseus "No one knows to what extent" Zeus" Super strength, shape shifting, opening porthole to any dimension, move things with just his finger or mind, mind control, read thoughts and so on" Paul "That's bad" Daisy " I believe we have superpowers too" Aphrodite "Yes, but I'm sorry you all are yet to attain your full potential, you still need to be trained" Bruce "When do we start?" they all stood and clenched their fist in anger with the mindset that they should get it over with and everyone will return to their usual lifestyle. Zeus "Let the sanctum be made ready"
