Cryo-Wolf's and Damien's fist collided, causing a massive explosion that sent them both flying. Cryo flew through the air and landed hard on the pavement of the street a few buildings over, leaving a the tar cracked and upheaved. Damien was rocketed in the opposite direction and slammed into the side of a building, knocking a few bricks out of the wall. Damien winced and pulled himself the impact mark on the wall, shaped like him. His scratches healed and he flew groggily toward Cryo. Meanwhile, Cryo got up and shook himself, freeing his fur from dirt and bits of tar. He stumbled a bit, and narrowly avoided an oncoming car. He fell to the sidewalk and looked up into the window. He was by a Sports' Store. Cryo slightly smiled as he got an idea.
Damien flew over a rooftop and descended slightly to see Cryo standing and tossing a soccerball. Damien seemed a little confused. "What? You wanna play Soccer now!? Did someone forget to tell about your short attention span or something?"
"No, I just wanted to show off some cool moves to my extra cool older cousin." Cryo tried to sound as stupid and innocent as possible.
Damien laughed, folding his left arm across his chest an resting his right elbow on it, so he could hold his chin with his right hand. "Yes, I am pretty cool aren't I?" Cryo smiled dumbly and began performing soccer tricks. He dropped the ball to the ground, then tosse it into the air with his foot, then balanced it on his head. He headbutted it up and then bounced it off his stomach. Cryo lifted his right leg up sideways and hit the ball wih the inside of his right foot, then bounced the ball on his left knee, followed by his right, sending it high in the air. Cryo had to aim this just right. As it was in mid-air, he spun around counter-clockwise and performed a roundhouse kick on the ball, sending it rocketing towards Damien.
Damien was caught by surprise and was dazed for a bit as the ball hit him in the face. Cryo utilized this time to jump off the side of a building and propel himself toward Damien. Cryo came at him with a punch in the gut, followed by a punch to his left cheek. Cryo let himseld fall slightly an grabbed onto his black army boots, dragging the dazed Damien with him to the street below. Cryo touched down first, and used gravity to pull Damien down and slam him onto his back in the street. Damien's body bounced up a bit from the impact. Cryo jumped up about 10 feet in the air, then came down fit first onto Damien's chest, knocking the wind out of him and causing his eyes to bulge out.
Cryo backflipped off him and crouched down, waiting for Damien to get up. Damien slowly picked hi body up from the street and stroked his chest his chest. "Ok, so you're kinda smart." He said.
"And I won MVP of my soccer league." Cryo said sarcasticly, but some part of it had truth. Cryo did play soccer, and his coach said he was one of the best in the league. Damien seemed angry and fired off more fireballs and Cryo, all the while saying,"Dad never let me play sports besides ancient greek ones! Oh, I am sooo jealous right now!" Cryo jumped out of the way to dodge the first one, then somersaulted the rest.
Meanwhile, In a place closer than anyone would think, The Olympians gathered and watched the fight through a pool of water that lay in front of them. Olympus nowadays was at the secret 600th floor of the Empire State building, relatively close to Cryo and Damien. Inside a celestial palace in the middle of the many buildings built around the palace, was the Council of the Gods. Their chairs sat in a U shape around the circular pool. The Gods were on the left, and the Godesses on the right. In order from left to right in a curved U, was: Hermes, Messenger of the Gods, Hephaestus, God of the forge, Apollo, God of Prophecy, medicine, and the sun, Ares, God of War, Poseidon, God of the Sea, Zeus, God of the sky and the heavens, Hera, Goddess of Women and Marriage, Demeter, Goddess of the Harvest, Athena, Goddess of Wisdom, Artemis, Goddess of the Hunt, of Maidens, and of the Moon, Aphrodite, Goddess of Love, and Dionysus, God of Wine. Hades rarely ever attended these meetings, but this time he had to. He sat next to Poseidon.
Zeus, a muscular god with black hair and beard with blue robes, managed to say through gritted teeth as they watched the battle,"I cannot believe the two of you have broken the Oath. You know very well that our children are the most powerful of Half-Bloods!"
Hades answered,"Actually, Dear Brother, I have not broken the Oath." He had a weasely look on his face as he said this. Many of the Gods were confused. Zeus raised his eyebrow and asked,"And how is that?" Hades leaned forward in his chair as he spoke. "I have caused time to slow for my son in the Underworld. While everyone else ages normally, he ages at a lessene pace. I had sire him before World War II an kept him in the Unerworld ever since. An thus, technically he is exempt from this Oath."
Poseidon's clenched his fist as he sat in his chair, looking at Poseidon. He always found a way out of things. "You loathsome snake!" He yelled. "First you send your son after my own and now this!? What else are you keeping from us!?"
Hades almost jumped out of his chair. "I did no such thing! You have no proof!" The two brothers began to argue, but the discussion was quickly quelled by Zeus's booming voice. "That is enough! You both have children, even if you didn't break the Oath!"
Hades saw Cryo slam Bruce into the ground an said,"My son is getting killed out there by that Animal! I am not standing by an doing nothing!" Hades began to get up when Zeus said,"NO. Neither of you are interfering in this. You two started it, and they shall finish it."
Hades darted his eyes around and muttered something, making a gesture with his hand.
Back at the fight, Damien threw a flaming punch at Cryo and knocked him down. Damien came running at him, but Cryo threw up his arms and legs, and as Damien jumped for him, he used Damien's speed to propel him past Cryo an into the Sports' Store behind them. Damien smashed the glass and knocked down a sales rack of Yankee's T-Shirts. Suddenly, a voice in Damien's head spoke,Look to your right, Son. There will be your ticket to Victory. Use it wisely. Damien trurned his gaze to the wall at his left. There he saw his key to victory. It was a helmet, like in any Sport's Store, but this was no other helmet. Damien smiled and knew what it was.
Cryo was waiting outside when Damien flew out of the store. Cryo immediately knew what he was holding, and his eyes widened in shock. It was a helmet, but made from pure darkness. Damien laguhed as he set it over his head, vanishing from sight. The helmet Damien now wielded was Hades' Helmet of Invisibility. Cryo looked around frantically, but couldn'tt see him anywhere.
The voice again spoke in Damien's mind. And now, something else for your advantage. The ground around Cryo began to shake, and opened up, flames shooting out from them. A skeletal hand raised rose from the pit, and pulled itself and the body attached to it up from below. Five skeletons in total surrounded Cryo, and the threat of an invisible Damien still lingered. These Skeletons were skull Warriors from the Underworld, and could not be killed easily.
"You cheating dog!" Poseidon yelled as he stood up and pointed at Hades. "How dare you intervene!" The anger and rage of te Sea was in his voice. Hades merely looked up at him, his red eyes taunting Poseidon. "Well, two can play at that game, brother!"
A voice spoke in Cryo's head,*These shall even the odds. A Trident materialized in Cryo's hands, and Cryo could feel power coursing through it. All of my powers are imbued in this Trident, Son. Use them well." Then, the sky cleared, showing the sky darkened, an the snow fell at a quicker pace than before.
Cryo ran to the first two Skeletons and with one swipe of the trident, a wave of water washed over them and sent them falling back through the hole to the Underworld. The other three skeletons tackled Scot, knocking him to the ground. Cryo kicked one of the skeletons and sent it flying, then foring a wave of water to guide it into the pit. Cryo stabbed the Trident through the final two and picked them up, stuck to the Trident. Cryo moved to the hole and let the skeletons slide onto it. Cryo turned aroun but was punched in the face by an invisible fist.
Cryo recovered and swiped the Trident in the direction of the punch, but there was nothing there. Cryo stepped cautiously, looking around with each step. Cryo felt a kick from behind and fell to his knees. Cryo gripped the trident an tried to think of how he could beat someone he couldn't see. Then it hit him like a freight train: Listen! Cryo strained his ears against the wind, and the cars, an the police sirens in the distance, the usual sounds of New York, and just listened. There! He heard amien's army boots against the pavement, he heard his breathing. Cryo spun around to 7 O'Clock and fired a massive blast of snow in the direction. When the snow hit its target, Damien was covered in snow, and visible. Cryo aimed the Trident at Damein and a huge pressurized jet of water shot from its tip. Damien shook off the snow and fired a blast of fire at the ater, causing steam to billow out from the connecting point. It completely surrounded Cryo and Damien, and a fair radius around them. Now, Cryo need to find Damien when he's invisible and in this.
