Akeno didn't fight whatever was happening with the artifact. She could feel it willingly fusing itself to her. It only took a short moment for the entire thing to break down and seep into her very being. When it merged with her, she felt powerful! She felt more powerful than she did with Rias's Queen Piece inside her. Akeno let out a moan as the power surged through her being! It felt wonderful! Her body went pleasantly numb as it swept through her!
When it reached her back, another pair of black wings burst out of her! Akeno looked behind her at the new pair and smiled. She was once again a High Class being.
"Are you alright?" Marvel Girl asked Akeno in concern. "You…uh…made some noises there." She said with a small blush.
Akeno grinned at Marvel Girl. "Ufufu, I'm more than ok! Although, I may have made a small mess of my panties…if I was wearing any." She teasingly added and smirked as Marvel Girl blushed once again. Innocent girls like this were the most fun to tease. Akeno lamented that she wasn't getting any reactions from Storm anymore though. She'd have to step up her teasing with the older woman at a later date…
"Hmph!" Marvel Girl turned her head away in embarrassment.
Storm smiled at Jean's blushing face. She glanced at the grinning Fallen Angel. 'She is quite the dangerous one…' Ororo thought with a smirk. She normally wouldn't mind sticking around a bit, after the mission, to get to know a girl like Akeno, but unfortunately they were expected back at the mansion soon. "It seems like we are not needed here. Marvel Girl and I should get going–"
Ororos eyes widened as a large black sword came out of nowhere, aiming for her head!
CLANG!
Before it could take her head off, Akeno had thankfully conjured a dark Lightspear that was pulsing with electricity, and deflected the blow!
"Tssk… To think someone was able to block my sneak attack. I wanted to kill the woman who's been interfering with Father's domain for far too long now!" The man who tried to kill Storm spat out. He backed off of Akeno and placed his sword over his shoulder arrogantly as he spoke.
Akeno noted that he was wearing a black trenchcoat, even though it wasn't cold out, along with a pair of sunglasses, even though it was already night time… They had just been attacked by some kind of edgelord apparently.
"Thank you for saving me, Akeno." Storm said as she took a steadying breath. Her heart rate had shot up after almost dying there!
"Ara, I'll be happy to save a beautiful woman like you or Marvel Girl anytime!" Akeno replied. She wondered if she was turning into her aunt there with her blatant flirting…
Akeno was also grateful for her recent powerup! That attack came out of nowhere and was very fast. Had she still been a 4 winged Fallen Angel, she would not have been able to react fast enough to save Storm's life.
"Who the hell are you and HOW DARE YOU TRY TO KILL ORORO!?" Marvel Girl shouted angrily as a hazy red aura surrounded her body. She thrust her hand forward and a telekinetic blast launched towards the man.
He scoffed and casually swung his sword to bat the mortal's attack away. What he wasn't expecting was for it to be so powerful! When the red blast connected with his blade, he almost felt his arm go numb! "Since when have mortals become so powerful!?" He hissed angrily.
"Holy shit! That's Ares!" Percy exclaimed. Was the God of War here to kill him for failing his quest?
"Language, young man!" Steve said almost instinctively. He unstrapped his vibranium shield from his back and started rushing over to help Akeno. "You know, in my hometown, men don't try to attack ladies with swords!" Steve yelled as he moved at superhuman speeds towards Ares! He punched forward with his shield.
"Another impudent mortal!" Ares growled out. He swung his sword towards Steve's shield. Ares was expecting his Olympian blade to easily cleave through the human's flimsy shield and kill the man.
That did not happen.
His celestial bronze sword, forged by Hephestaus himself, harmlessly bounced off of Steve's vibranium shield. Ares's eyes widened in shock and he was thrown off balance. Steve's blow continued unimpeded and his shield smashed right into the god's face. It connected right with his nose!
A loud crack wrang out!
Ares's head whipped backwards with the blow. He stumbled back a few steps. He felt something warm dripping down his chin. He reached his free hand up and wiped his face. His eyes widened in shock at what he saw! A trail of golden blood was flowing from his broken nose. Ares quickly reached up and snapped his nose back into place with a hiss of pain. "Blood!? My own blood? How can a mortal instrument hurt me? A shield no less!" He spat out hatefully!
Captain Rogers smirked and then said something he might end up regretting. "God? You're no God. You bleed gold, but at the end of the day you still bleed like the rest of us. You'll go down just the same!"
"Graahhh!" Ares was done playing around! He had originally been sent down here to retrieve Zeus's Master Bolt, after Poseidon's spawn failed in his mission to bring it back to Olympus. When he had arrived, he was surprised to find the mortal woman Zeus had been constantly complaining about. She was some kind of evolved human. She had the ability to manipulate the weather. Even better than his illustrious father could! That had naturally made Zeus furious and the God of the Sky demanded the woman's death! Ares tried to kill her in a moment of opportunity to win some points with his father.
Divine power flared around Ares. His trench coat disappeared and was replaced by golden armor. The sword in his right hand was now accompanied by a shield in his left. He would now take this fight seriously as the true God of War!
