[Doctor Voidsman]

-upon arrival the made saw the dome....he reached his hand out touching it only forit to shock him and quickly retract it. he looked around in search for a weak spot but found none. he soon got an idea and retreated back to the forest to prepare something he had hoped would work.-

"The gods thing their pathetic light show will stop me...too bad they never understood copper to being a well know conductor and reciever..." -backing away from his now new creating he began setting it up around the forest directly aimed at the lightning dome. if calculations were correct, the launch would create a temporary opening for him...if not back to the drawing board. he pulled a lever to which the copper spheres flew into the air towards the dome-

 

[A Hazy Sort of Clarity]

Zeus tapped Athena on the shoulder. "Intruders. I felt something touch the dome outside. Should we go ahead and look?"

Athena sighed. "But the sorting-" Zeus leveled her with a stare that even she had to yield to. "Very well then. Students, the sorting will have to be delayed further, my apologies." she was met with groans from the students.

Zeus, Athena, Poseidon, and even Hades hurried out of the Institute and out into the school grounds.

 

[Doctor Voidsman]

(Bouta introduce the gods the concept of a firearm...though Ares might already know what it is considering he's the god of war)

-The base of the dome was faulting....something was making a opening and it seemed to be the odd shiny brown spheres lodged in the dome and at the base....from the forest the same crow masked man walked out weilding an odd looking weapon...sudden a single action from the finger was placed against the small lever on the weapon and a loud, nearly ungodly noise-

 

[Cephalop0ds_]

Seeing the dome collapse under its weight, as the figure of the Man slowly slithered in, Aulos froze in fear. He had never seen anything like this before, even less seeing someone face the 3 main gods. Either they were a genius, a madman, or woefully stupid; perhaps a well-balanced mixture of the three. He had some degree of respect for their plans, thinking how someone could set a catapult to hit the institute. He shook his head, trying to stop fawning, then grabbed the nearest people to him, rushing to cover.

Atë looked at the scene, things had gotten more serious. Just for this time, she was going to play by the rules and defend the institute... mainly expecting a reward. She rubbed her hands togheter, focusing her mind on creating an image. Fog began crawling under her, rustling her feathers, slowly taking the form of several warriors sporting ancient armor. The soldiers walked out of the crowd, pointing spears and swords towards the intruder, standing besides the gods.

 

[Doctor Voidsman]

-Bullets whizzed past them...mostly aimed towards the windows and sometimes the gods. a few students had been hit and severly injured. the man seemed to care less about them. soon however the belt of bullets ran earing a groan from the man. he opened the top the began relaoding the weapon as he made his way in. soon, slamming the top down in the odd weapon he began firing again this time focused more on the gods...with the weapons he had it seemed he was prepared for such a threat before hand-

 

[A Hazy Sort of Clarity]

"Behind me!" Athena yelled. The others followed her command, and she held her large shield in front of her, the bullets simply ricocheting off. "How dare you attempt to attack a place of such ancient knowledge!" she bellowed, she and the three kings following her back into the castle, flanked by their new soldiers, who she had barely noticed.

A god was running to and fro, amongst the students who were injured, healing them instantly and leading them somewhere safer. A name tag on his clothes read Asclepius. "Come along now, children! Hurry!" he cried.

A vine shot out of a broken window and knocked the gun out of the man's hands. It appeared to be none other than Artemis, who stood in front of the cowering Hermes and Hestia. The vine wrapped itself tightly around the man, almost squeezing him to the point of suffocation. This gave Athena and her squadron enough time to make it to the destroyed and bloody dining hall.

 

[Doctor Voidsman]

_The man struggled for a bit before breaking out and looking towards him Mg...it was stuck in part of the lightning done was slowly melting from the heat of it...heartbroken the main lowered his head but in turned faced Artemis with an MP-40 in hand...for someone of such inhumane height he was quite fast as hewas charging at her and quickly closing the distance whilst firing his weapons- "you will pay for the loss of such lovely engineering..."

 

[Cephalop0ds_]

Aulos ran towards Asclepius, in a hushed tone he urged him "I'll carry the injured, just... focus on keeping the students out." He began lifting students with ease, slinging them over his shoulders and back, the strenght and stamina of his father finally had a use. Though his legs began to shake and his muscles to burn, he kept going back and forth, carefully dropping students out of the broken windows. "Father... give me the strenght to carry at least one more." he whispered, making his way through the hall once more, bullets chafing bits off his horns.

Atë walked closer to the apprehended man, the soldiers took a step foward, enclosing him. She raised her hands, a jolt of magic burst out, forcing cieling tiles to rain down on the man. She cracked a smile at Artemis "Don't steal the spotlight from me, hm!"

 

[Doctor Voidsman]

-The tiles caused him to fall to a knee...however his slowly rose up and looked at the soldiers surrounding him. reaching into his coat he pulled out 2 small hand held objects he pulled what seemd like pins from the top of them and threw them to the solders and Ate....a loud bang was heard and blinding flash as well. the soldiers were stunned leaving doc to killed them one by one. finally turning his attention to the Ate he scoffed- "You deny your abilites true form....join my side and I myself can train you.." -he said to her before he resumed fire at Atremis-

 

[A Hazy Sort of Clarity]

Artemis summoned plantlife to take bullets for her, but she began to grow a bit weary. Hestia, summoning up a bit of courage, threw a handful of fire at the gun, melting it instantly.
Athena skidded to a stop in front of Ate, holding her shield. Her shield was strong enough to protect from the explosion, and Athena pointed her spear at him. "How dare you. I gave you a chance to yield and yet you did not. Now you shall pay." she barked.
Zeus took the opportunity to shoot out a bolt of lightning from his palm, and it wrapped itself snugly around the man, shocking him as it did so. Unlike Artemis' amateur bind, his was unbreakable.

 

[Cephalop0ds_]

The soldiers disspiated into smoke, Atë was still stunned from the noise, falling down. She mumbled towards the headmistress "Right... Right... You're welcome?", trying to recover her balance. She held onto Athenas shield, slightly intimidated by her presence.

Aulos had finished dragging out the remaining students, he leaned towards a wall then slid down. He fell prone due to his exhaustion, breathing shakingly, he couldn't help to crack a smile after his feat. Blood trickled from his horns down his face, clouding his view of the scene. AUlos could barely make out the silhouette of the Gods and two of his friends... and what seemed to be just a dark splot. "Oh... I think that's just Atë" he murmured, slowly helping himself up.

 

[Doctor Voidsman]

-The mans struggled...the lightning shocked him causing him to fall to a knee. he groaned in pain and struggled greatly trying to break out...a black portal opened behind him as a purplish black claw reached out and stabbed into the doctor's back-

???: "no longer shall you suffer the wrath of these so called gods...you shall be granted the ability to adapt and overcome...bring me his head..." -another armed peered our pointing at Zeus-

-the hands retracted into the portal as it closed and the doctor began groaning in pain suddenly the lighting on his began to be absorbed into his body freeing him. Doctor V sent a red bolt back towards Zues-

 

[Jaw Breakcore]

The nymph blinks a handful of times to clear his vision, it felt as if time had slowed, the sounds and colors meshing and smearing together like a water down oil painting. The warmth on his hand dim as he was pulled away, his legs moving despite the ground feeling foggy beneath his feet. A small ringing underneath a layer of the hazy uproar and chaos.

The cyclops tried to calm himself but breathing technics only aid so much when the events seem to layer thicker and thicker. Normally he'd excuse himself if things got this bad, if his own mind was turning its back on him but everything seemed to swell like an orchestra, drown him like the angry waves of an ocean until his senses were engulfed with fight or flight. And just when he's thought the stress was easing enough so he can breathe, he hears a crackle of lightning.
Light thrusts forward, the students barely being missing as he surges into the air and grabs the striking bolt with his bare hands. His vision is encased in blinding red, the searing heat blistering his skin and crackles of electricity licks at his biceps. But his pain is numbed by the adrenaline as he takes a step back, holding the bolt in one palm and reels his elbow back. Then he hurls the bolt right back at its manipulator, the stark red leaping and bouncing across the white floor and walls.

 

[A Hazy Sort of Clarity]

A rush of white flew in through a window all of a sudden, and it was none other than Hermes, who had taken it upon himself to help with evacuating the other students. He fluttered down in front of Aulos, holding what appeared to be his staff. Hermes wasn't a fighter, as he had no special powers like Artemis or Hestia, yet he stood in front of him, and asked, "Are you okay?"

Zeus nodded a thank you towards Light. Poseidon grabbed the man in a giant fist made of water, suspending him in mid-air. Poseidon looked livid, like drowning the man wouldn't be enough to satiate his temper.

Athena nodded towards Ate, and motioned for Artemis and Hestia, Hermes and Aulos to stand by her, holding her shield and spear at the ready. Artemis and Hestia hurried over, and Hermes slung Aulos' arm over his shoulders and carried him over to the small group. "You cannot kill us with your mortal weapons. We, as fully able gods, unlike my students, are immortal to all but each other, and we all stand united against filth like YOU. Now, I will ask you one more time, you vile creature, DO YOU YIELD?"

 

[Doctor Voidsman]

-the red bolt strikes Voidsman making a clean hole through his chest...he was soon lifted up into the air by the sudden rush of water surrounding him and he floated their limp....he should've died yet his lifted his head and he stared into the soul of the water god. he then spoke- "heed my warning, listen well....you false gods of hell. this was only a fractions of the 3 siblings wrath...they will exterminate all life in the realm and move onto the next...you all will perish by their hands.." -instead of struggling he began laughing hysterically and twitching a bit-

-soon another black portal opens and a hand twice the size of Poseidon's came through gabbing onto Voidsman and dragging him in...the portal closed leaving them alone. 2 of his weapons lied on the ground one of which was the MP-40 and the now melted MG-42 on the ground from being caught in the lightning-

 

[A Hazy Sort of Clarity]

All the gods watched, calmly, as the portal closed. It was over. They had won the battle.
But they all knew that a war was brewing.

Hades scoffed. "I mean, I'M technically the only god of hell so--"

"Stuff it, you goblin-faced lump!" Zeus growled. "We could have used a bit of assistance from your end."

Athena surveyed the damage done to the dining hall, which was slowly repairing itself. She sighed, relieved, and asked, "Is everyone okay? Hades, go tell Asclepius that the students may re-enter the building."

Hades huffed, and muttered as he left, "Diminished to nothing but a messenger boy, no respect around here, none at all..."

 

[Doctor Voidsman]

3 beings watched them through a tear in the realm....they spoke amongst themselves

???: "Strange...they don't seemed alarmed by our presence..."

???: "They underestimate us sister! We should kill them now!"

???: "Calm yourselves!" -an ethereal voice shouted at them- "we mustn't egage them....not yet my brother and sister. the time will come...but for now we wait"

???: "What of the doctor?..." -the sister asked looked at them man bound mid air-

???: "I will show him what happens to failures....Barren....you shall take his place. stalk them and if they engage show no mercey"

Barren, the second brother: "I will Brother Primordial.....I will do better that failure..." -he soon disappeared and let them alone-

 

[Cephalop0ds_]

Aulos could only make out a fuzzy white blur, he wiped the blood off his eyes. "Right... I'm bleeding a little, but it's nothing too severe. Did you get the other students?" He asked urgently, his pupils bouncing around trying to focus on the attacker and Hermes. Seeing Athena's signal, he slowly made his way, stumbling from exhaustion. The satyr turned towards Light, looking how crackles of red lightning seeped out of his body, he truly was related to Zeus.

 

[Cephalop0ds_]

Aulos shuddered, the sight of demonic beings out of his understanding... just facing this on the first day? The attacks wouldn't stop right here, someone as ambitious to rise up from death wouldn't stop for anyone. He looked at his surroundings, the title of mess hall really suited it. Walls caked with blood, broken glass everywhere, collapsed ceilings, the dome... He took a deep breath, the adrenaline was wearing off, he felt glass shards pierce his hind legs. Mustering a bit of optimism, he smiled towards the group "Is... everyone okay?"

 

[Doctor Voidsman]

-Barren, the second brother appeared amongst the crowd od people....he began to take on a more human look. deciding to pose as a cook he begins think up the attire and looks of one before finally settling with his attire and looks not caring or minding it was off to begin with-

 

[Jaw Breakcore]

Σταφύλι shakes his head, clearing his vision as his large fish like pupils swell, he slowly looks over the expanse of the mess hall turned war zone, taking in the smoke and haze in full.
He shakily stands to his feet, sucking in a sharp breath between his teeth, he's not sure when he had fallen to begin with. A spark of pain makes him cup his elbow, he out stretches his arm and notes the way blood curved between his webbed fingers and stained his suit.
His mother was going to kill him... if she didn't get the headmasters first.

He turns towards a sharp hiss, Light was crouched on his knees, cupping his scorched arm. He sprints over to him, his unsteady hand reaching to rest on his shoulder.

"You okay, man?"
Light watches his face for a moment, then shakes his head. He tries not to cough on the debris smoke as he sits down next to him.

"Are you... hurt?"
"Outside of my arm and my ma' possible assassination attempt on me, sure, I guess so..." He huffs a breath.
The cyclops chuckles lightly, the sound much lighter than the current situation.

 

[A Hazy Sort of Clarity]

Hermes nodded. "They're coming back with Asclepius. Convenient that we got an instant healer on campus, huh? Speaking of which, you don't look so hot." He grimaced as he looked over the blood and the glass shards, even though he himself had some shards on his wings, red seeping into the pearly white.

Hestia managed a weak chuckle, though it was lacking the usual crackle. She was banged up as well. "We all got pretty messed up, didn't we? ...Artemis..?"

Artemis looked quite pale in the face, and was clutching the crook of her arm, blood dripping through her fingers and onto the floor. Hestia pried her hand off of the wound, adamant to see the damage. She had gotten hit with a bullet, and was bleeding quite heavily. Hestia gasped.

"Oh dear..." Athena mumbled, surveying the damage done to her students. "Quickly, go to the infirmary. Asclepius is on his way, but as for right now, his assistant Hygieia should be able to take care of you. Quickly now, it's down the corridor and to the left."

 

[Cephalop0ds_]

"Yeah... I have the worst headache of my life." he winced, feeling his head swell and throb. It seemed he had stopped bleeding for now, though the pain in his hooves was enough to deter him from walking. Aulos looked towards the corridor, wondering if he could suck the pain up and make it, he winced thinking about digging the glass deeper. "I'm probably being paranoid, but... we should probably go all togheter. Just in case he wasn't working alone." he said, cracking a sheepish grin.

Atë glanced at the cyclops, somewhat impressed he wasn't inmediately fried by tuching the lightning bolt. She looked down at her hand, the image of the mysterious man appearing in her mind. Denying her true form? Being offered training? Blood dripped from a shallow cut on her palm, she stared at it seemingly intranced by its glow, the image slowly melted to her mother standing on top of battlefields thrilled by violence.

 

[A Hazy Sort of Clarity]

"Good idea. Move along, all of you. The Heads of Brackets and I have many things to discuss." Athena waved them along. Hestia pushed a dazed and pale Artemis along, who was still bleeding heavily from the bullet wound, Hermes following close behind.

"This is nuts." Hermes mumbled, trying to pick out bits of glass from his wings. "All this on the first day?"

 

[Doctor Voidsman]

-Barren, the second brother, now under the fake name of Godfrey looked around and sighed a bit-

Godfrey: "Who or what drove Herr doctor to commit to such actions....sir Vincent is truly lost to us.." -he had hoped the named would interest someone even one or 2 of the gods but he didn't wish to blow his cover just yet. walking away he rounded a corner and dissapeared-
