"It's because I force them to comprehend something they've never wanted to comprehend. I force them to comprehend the concept of an end, of oblivion, no one is safe from me. Do you know what they called me during the Great War, Apollo? I was known as…Death. Tell me, Apollo. Can you see it? The death of you and your sister by my hands," growled Scathach as Gae Bolg became a mass of swirling energy.
"You Immortals are all the same, you keep deluding yourself into thinking that you're unbeatable. That you can beat death, but you can't can you Apollo? Death is patient, Death is always lurking in the shadows just waiting for a single misstep, Death cannot be cheated," informed the witch as Apollo felt his blood turn to ice in his veins.
'She's…she's a monster! I…I'm going to die!' panicked as the Sun God felt a warm liquid run down his leg and he fell to the ground, the shadows cast by Death's spear dancing around him as if in some sort of ritual.
"What will you do Apollo? What will you do now that Death has come for you?" announced the Godslayer, even as a low shudder escaped Apollo.
The witch suddenly spun around and deflected an arrow being shot at her from Artemis whom had just regained consciousness, her brother quickly following suite as he launched his own desperate barrage at her. The Godslayer became a red blur as her spears intercepted and deflected every single projectile coming towards her, eventually the two Gods had to stop as they realized that the current strategy was getting them nowhere.
Apollo just snarled as the plants surrounding him began dying at an ever-growing radius, noticing this Scathach frowned as she launched a barrage of spears towards the Sun God before using the spears themselves as stepping-stones as she crossed the field of death and closed the distance from her target. Eyes widening in shock Apollo brought his bow up to block the spear sailing towards his head, only to growl in frustration as the spear cut his magical bowstring easily as it was deflected away.
Grabbing the witch's foot he tried to drag her onto the ground where all the dead plants were but was instead greeted to a slash along his arm, as she dived away from him and rounded to attack the still reeling Artemis. However, before she could begin her assault something landed in between the fighters and Scathach heard a familiar voice.
"Note to self, Scathach is scary when serious," commented Issei as everyone stared at him in shock.
"Issei, you're alive?" gasped Scathach as everyone stared at him in shock.
The human just smiled, "I sure hope so, or that means we're all dead."
"But how? People die when they are killed!" exclaimed Artemis, only for her brother to eye Issei cautiously, noticing patches of grey skin appearing over the teen's body.
"Sister, are you sure you killed him?" he asked Artemis with a frown.
The Moon Goddess just nodded, "I'm positive, I hit him at near point blank range with Tri-star Amore Mio."
Apollo was silent for a couple of seconds before he walked over to Issei, "how? How do you have Herakles' God's Hand?"
"Apollo, you're not serious?" gasped Artemis, even as Scathach stared at Issei in shock.
"Does it matter?" replied Issei, dodging the question.
"I suppose not," agreed Apollo as he readied another arrow and dived to the side, avoiding Scathach's barrage of spears.
"Issei get out of here, I can take these two," she growled, eyeing the two Gods viciously.
"No Scathach, we need them alive," he informed her with a shake of his head.
There was no visible reaction to his orders aside from the witch tightening her grip on the two spears in her hands. "Issei they just tried to kill you," she pointed out.
Issei nodded, "yeah and I want to know why. Plus you know the consequences if we kill them, we can imprison them in the Land of Shadows until they talk."
"Fine, I suppose the Celts could use this to our advantage. Not even Dagda would let an attack on a member of our faction slide easily, doubly so if it's a descendant from Lugh's son," agreed the witch.
"Are you really taking orders from this weak human Scathach? How the mighty have fallen," smirked Artemis, only for her smile to drop and a shiver to run down her spine at the glare she got from the witch.
"Issei just saved your lives fools, now be silent or I might change my mind," snarled the Godslayer as she sent barrage of spears towards the Goddess, only for the spears to be knocked off course by a tight grouping of arrows from both the Greeks.
Artemis and Apollo then split off in opposite directions as they split up, causing Scathach to growl in frustration at this. "I'll take Artemis, you take down the pretty boy," said Issei, getting a nod from the witch.
"I'll make this quick," she snarled, before rushing after the Sun God while Issei did the same with Artemis.
Scathach was hot on the heels of Apollo whom frowned as he threw his now useless bow at her as fire began surrounding the Sun God, the flames trickled off his body and started setting the area around the two fighters alight with flames. Scathach simply drew a Rune of Fire in front of her as the flames were extinguished in a large area around her, Apollo frowned as he saw this before the Sun God was engulfed with flames.
"I am responsible for the coming dawn and the departing dusk, I who travels the world in a four horse drawn carriage," chanted the Sun God.
The Godslayer skidded to a stop as a massive pillar of fire erupted where Apollo had been standing, the witch stabbing Gae Bolg into the ground as the power from the attack sent a shockwave of heat and pressure out even as the pillar continued growing.
"Now you shall face the wrath of Phoebus, Chariot of the Sun!" shouted Apollo as the pillar exploded outwards, burning anything in its wake as it revealed the Sun God standing in a massive four horse drawn chariot.
The horses all had fire for manes and the chariot itself was a blazing red as it's wheels had flames dancing around their rims. Scathach just looked at the Sun God unimpressed as purple Rune Chains appeared along her body and disappeared in a burst of movement as Apollo charged where she once was at a phenomenal speed.
As the chariot hit the entire area erupted into a bonfire as a smoking crater formed from the impact and Apollo quickly rose to the sky in search of his prey, the flaming chariot and its steeds hovering well above the tree line.
"I don't have time for this," growled Scathach as Apollo spotted her and charged her again.
The witch just jumped down from the tree and ran along the forest floor, flames rising behind her as Apollo gave chase. The Sun God then frowned as he found himself unable to close the distance between him and the magically enhanced witch, 'she's faster than even my chariot when using Rune Magic…not good.'
Suddenly the Sun God was snapped out of his thoughts as Scathach spun around without warning and instead charged his incoming chariot. The witch then leapt over the chariot as her spears formed around her before shooting towards the four Divine Beasts pulling his chariot, braining the four horses which stumbled to the ground as the chariot was overturned and Apollo sent flying.
The last thing Apollo saw before darkness overtook him was a massive blue mist forming in the distance and a feeling of horror began to spread throughout his body. "Sister…don't use it," he gasped before collapsing to the ground unconscious.
Scathach frowned as she heard this before picking up the unmoving God and turning to face the blue mist with a frown. 'Should I interfere? No Issei said he could handle this, besides after our fight Artemis is in a wounded state anyway,' decided the Godslayer as she and her prey headed back to the remains of the Hyoudou residence.
"You shouldn't have come back human, now your life is forfeit," growled Artemis.
Issei just shrugged, "fine take it, I've got plenty more. I must say I'm disappointed in you Artemis, I mean Atalanta held you in such high regard and this is the best you can do? Hell even Atalanta would put up a better fight then this."
Suddenly a massive pillar of flames erupted in the distance, however Artemis was so consumed by rage she didn't even notice it as she started trembling. "You dare insult me by comparing me to that FAKE!"
"Be prepared human you shall suffer the same fate as Calydon!" snarled Artemis as the ground began shaking.
Issei watched as a massive storm of blue mist swirled around the two fighters and his eyes narrowed as he heard the Goddess and instantly the ground began shaking even m
ore violently. 'No…she wouldn't! Not with Kuoh this close!' he realized with fear.
