"I'm going to go fight Hades."
Albeit expected, this shocked everyone, as they felt that it was too soon, and that Akio was far too tired to fight Hades in his current condition. Akio begrudgingly agrees, but he says that he will spend no more than one hour here, as they must not try to prolong the fight further.
The others agree, and Akio sits on the ground, saying that this has been really taxing, even though it's been just a few hours. Indeed, victory is what they have been claiming during this time, but they lost two possible allies..
Everyone sits around and they discuss for a bit, while Artemis heals Akio's wounds, as for some reason, he is unable to do it himself, and Poseidon notices Akio's spear.
"Akio, excuse me for asking, but if I may, where did you get that spear?"
Akio looks at what Poseidon is pointing, and he remembers that he had it.
