Chapter Eleven: I Am So Gonna Kick Zeus' Butt
I have to win!
I told myself that for the third time as I reached out and grabbed the bident. "Alright Zeus! Let's play." I sounded as confident as I could as I prepared to block the next attack on my own.
Images started to surge my mind coming from the bident, it was like the battle instinct of Hades unlocked itself in my mind as body and I moved of my own accord and blocked Zeus' thunderbolt.
CLANG!!
Maybe... Just maybe— I can beat Zeus. I steeled my resolve and tried for the first time in my life to fight back, all my fears of getting into fights immediately faded from my mind and I advanced forward by one step.
I swung the bident for Zues who blocked it quite easily. And he vanished again, the main problem I had was following his insane speed with my eyes. But that problem was immediately solved as my eyes almost instantly adjusted to the movement of thw GOD OF THE SKY!
BHAM!!
I blocked his attack from behind without even looking, it felt completely instinctive. If I did not know any better I would have said Hades was on par with Zeus but I don't think he was taking the fight seriously. So I knew I had to take him out before he got serious.
The bident throbbed in my hand as if reacting to my resolve. In looked over my shoulder, I could see the blur slowly approaching. I tightened my grasp on my bident and and slashed at Zeus with all my power.
"Please Work!" I prayed silently.
What followed next was an explosion on a massive scale like a nuclear bomb had been dropped right on Zeus. The ground shook and a huge mass of smoke covered the entire colosseum.
"Huh? Did I kill him?" There was no way I could see through all the dust. But my eyes started to see in infrared, my eyes just seemed to adjust to every situation I found myself in.
I could see Zeus through all the dust and he was still standing. His body was releasing a strong energy and rising, it seems I pissed him off. But I wasn't afraid.
The bident throbbed in my hand as if telling me to prepare for something big.
BOOM!!
I could hear thunder on the ground, I could see the gold streaking light reaching for me. Damnit! Zeus had awakened the thunderbolts power.
"Huup!!" I sidestepped and avoided the blast by a hairs bredth. "That was close, does this fucker want to kill me? This is practically the best day of my life and I won't let him ruin it."
I knew I had to rely on all the resources I had at my disposal.
"Bident..." I hoped it would work.
"...Awaken!!!"
KRA-KA—
Black smoke hissed from my bident as it started to crack. My skin started to burn inside, I could feel mists rising from my body. My ears were filled with the screams of crying souls, I felt a rush of power I had no control over.
I only took one step but I had already closed the distance between me and Zeus, I guess he did not expect it but I instantly went on the offensive.
CLANG! BANG! CLASH!
I rained down endless assault on him just by swinging my bident without much power and I was forcing Zeus back. I could see him gritting his teeth and cursing under his breath.
I was elated by the fact that I was beating Zeus.
"Hey Zeus, I am so gonna kick your butt!" I could not help myself but smile. "Teach you some manners while I'm at it too."
I could see Zeus smiling, now why would he be—
"KEUGH!!" I stopped my assault and staggered on one foot. Something was wrong with me, I could feel a strange thing in my chest, it was like a hole. Every energy that gathered in my body escaped through it. Could this be the wound they were talking about earlier. "Shit!"
And just when I was about to beat this-- Zues smiled as he stood over me and slashed at my head. I would have died of not that Bident moved on it's own and blocked the attack.
"It seems you are still having trouble gathering your energy big bro Hades. You just had to show off and reopen your wound, not even playing is safe like me. I am so disappointed in you, so just give up already!"
I swear I hated Zeus' snorty attitude. It reminded me of the bullies I used to have back at the orphanage. I was done being a pushover.
I pushed myself back to my feet much to Zues' surprise, even under the unexplainable pain I was sure to land a clean hit on Zeus face.
WHAM!!
Zeus was sent flying through the air like he had been hit by a bazooka. I don't think I really used that much strength but I wasn't going to let up just yet.
I took hold of bident and raced for Zeus before be could land, my legs carried me at an insane speed that was unreal. Zeus saw me coming and started to fly in the air, leaving the area of my reach.
From the look on his face he knew Hades could not fly, everyone did.
Hehe! Thing again you ass— because Hades is no pushover.
I kicked off the ground with all the momentum I had built up and belived in myself that I could fly. It wasn't hard, I always had a wild imagination.
I watched in pride as Zeus' face malformed in shock and surprise. From my back was sticking out two huge white feathered wings. It came as a great shock that Hades could fly.
I reached Zeus and drove my bident into his chest and screamed. "HADES SPEAR!!"
The thunder clouds immediately dispersed as I knocked both Zeus and his thunderbolt out of his hand and watched him fall to the ground.
The next thing I heard was the cheers of the mass number of people half filling up the colosseum. I guess there must have been some other gods around and well who cares.
I love the audience.
I held Zues' thunderbolt in one hand and the bident in the other, I looked down at Zues lying flat on the ground and smiled.
"Does this mean I am the strongest god on Olympus?"
Poseidon boomed. "The match has concluded, the winner is... HADES!!!"
Wow, what a day!
