Ares VS Kurayami(Rewrite)

As he talked about challenging a god, a motorcycle as if out of nowhere appeared next to his SUV. The guy on it wore sunglasses and a leather jacket, and his bike had guns strapped to it. Kurayami had to say the guy in question looked ready for war which he was.

He rolled his window down and spoke to him. 

"Ares? That you?"

Ares looked at him with a frown.

"Yeah, and you shouldn't challenge the gods Fallen boy. You are still too green to do so."

Kurayami got out of the truck while getting ready to fight. Akeno, Esdeath, and Raynare got out and they all looked at Ares with smiles. Kuroka stayed in, but she went to keep the SUV safe. 

She knew them better and they did not want her help with this. Instead, she decided to help protect Percy and Annabeth. She looked at the two demigods with a smile.

"You are going to want to see this. How the real world fights."

They both nodded as they looked on to see what such a fight was like. Kurayami crossed his arms as he looked at Ares. His face was blank, but slight twitches showed how excited he was. 

"Did you steal the Lightning of Zeus, Ares?"

Areas got off his bike and he began to burn up with fire. It was insane that the sand began to melt. Seeing that made Kurayami nod in respect as those flames were powerful. The god looked right at Kurayami and glared at him as he was found out.

Annabeth and Percy were both listening in as this was the first time they were about to see a godfight. Ares tried to play it off as he looked at Percy.

"You accuse me of stealing. When it was Percy."

Kurayami knew that was false. He could feel it. 

"While I am no Lightning god, I still know lightning. I can feel it all over you."

Ares suddenly seemed genuinely pleased.

"You are not an idiot. How about it? You join me as my apostle. You will live forever, fight forever."

Kurayami refused because he had far more potential to unleash. He would be shackled to weakness if he agreed to Ares' offer.

"While I may not be truly immortal I am no human."

Ares grinned as he already liked Kurayami.

"Well, now, that is true. While I didn't steal them personally as Gods, taking each other's symbols of power is a big no-no. But plenty of demigods are easy to temp."

Kurayami spoke a single word. 

"Luke."

The idea seemed to amuse Ares.

"Maybe. The point is, you're impeding my show. I planned to have Pery go to old Corpse Breath, who will take the Master Bolt, so Zeus will be mad at him. And Hades is still looking for this."

From his pocket, he took out a ski mask and placed it between the handlebars of his bike. Immediately, the cap transformed into an elaborate bronze war helmet. Raynare and Kuraami identified it at a glance as it felt similar to their Death Magic. 

Raynare shook her head at the sight. 

"The helm of darkness? You also stole that. I thought you had no brains for strategy. Plus, why piss off Hades when he is the strongest of your pantheon."

Ares was gloating as he looked at her.

"Exactly, I still managed to do it anyway. Aren't I great?"

Ares said. However, he realized he called himself stupid.

"YOU STUPID BRAT! I'll TURN YOU INTO A CROW! Now, where was I? Oh yeah, Hades will be mad at both Zeus and Poseidon, because he doesn't know who took this. Pretty soon, we got a nice little three-way slugfest going."

Akeno was a bit confused as she could not understand why he wanted that.

"But they are your relatives and family. Why stir up trouble?"

Ares shrugged.

"Best kind of war. Always the bloodiest."

Kurayami thought the plan was stupid, but who knew Ares was stupider than he thought.

"But why not just keep The Master Bolt for yourself? That is what I would have done. Why send it to Hades? You will lose ownership of such a powerful weapon."

Ares got a twitch in his jaw. He realized that sounded smarter than what he had planned. 

"Why didn't I? Yeah, with that kind of firepower-"

He held the trance for one second ... two seconds until he shook his head. His face cleared as he got his confusion under control. 

"I didn't want the trouble. Better to have the kid get caught red-handed, holding the thing."

Kurayami felt pity that even a god could be influenced so easily.

"You are being used by someone else. This isn't your idea." 

Ares got pissed hearing it as a part knew it was true. 

"Of course it was." 

Smoke drifted up from his sunglasses as if they were about to catch fire.

Kurayami kept going to see if he couldn't release Ares from his control. Ares was the only male god aside from Hermes who was not banned from Japan by Amaterasu. '

He even kept out of the war that was started by Zeus when he tried to force himself on a priestess of Amaterasu. It was why he was still allowed in Japan, unlike all other male gods. 

"You didn't order the theft Ares. Someone else sent a Demigod to steal them, Then, when Zeus sent you to hunt him down, you caught the thief. But you didn't turn him over to Zeus. You kept the items until another could come along and complete the delivery. Not what you would do normally. It's not your MO."

Esdeath shook her head. 

"If you let yourself be controlled this easily, then gods are not all that. Especially if you let yourself be used. Ares."

Raynare continued the teasing.

"He must feel like a weakling. Ares the war god, was brainwashed. What would they say? I bet Athena would have already managed to overthrow Zeus unlike you. Unlike you, she can think for herself." 

Akeno laughed at him as well.

"I pity you, Ares. I can help you rid yourself of the brainwashing if you want." 

Ares was getting more and more pissed.

"I AM THE GOD OF WAR! I WAS NOT BRAINEDWASHED! I do what I want when I want." 

Raynare shrugged. 

"Sure you do." 

Ares looked agitated, but he tried to cover it with a smirk. As he calmed himself ever so slightly. 

"Let's get back to the problem at hand, You now know everything and I got to kill you. You just might get those hard-headed idiots to listen to you. Nothing personal."

He snapped his fingers as the melted sand turned into swords of glass before they got launched at Raynare. Raynare grinned as Asmodai appeared in her hands which she used to slice apart the flying swords with ease.

 At the same time, Raynares' sacred gears appeared on her body while a giant black serpent coiled around her. It looked at Ares and spoke with a deep voice.

"Is he my prey?"

She looked at him and smirked.

"Yes, Viritra. A god is on the menu today."

Ares saw the dragon and he flinched. It may not be Ddraig and Albion, but it was still a Dragon King who fought Indra on one. Lose or not. He calmed down as he was sealed and weakened. She still only had 4 of the 6 as finding them was harder than finding a needle in a haystack.

Flames danced along the top of Ares's sunglasses. As that happened Akeno's spear appeared in her hands and she used magic to form armor around her. She formed it from fire and lightning making her glow brightly. 

Seeing that made Ares more than displeased.

"4 on one? If you need it fine then." 

Kurayami moved his neck from side to side with the pop of bones.

"You are correct Ares. That does not sound fair. Girls, mind if I handle this one on one?" 

Raynare looked at him like he was crazy. 

"Are you nuts? That is Ares, the Greek God of War. He may be easily brainwashed, but he is still a war god. You may be the son of Baraqiel and have a Longinous, but gods are on another level. You need us." 

Esdeath tried to reason with him as well. 

"While I do not question your strength my love, but that is madness." 

Akeno frowned as she used her link to speak to him alone. 

'Brother, don't do this. You can die.'

Ares waited for Kurayami to think as he could feel the heart of a warrior in him. And he respected warriors. 

'If I die, so be it.' 

Akeno's eyes went wide open. 

'WHAT ABOUT MOM! DAD! ME! You think I will watch you throw your life away.' 

Hearing those words reminded him of the motto he lived his life by. 

"Death comes for us all. We can only avoid it for so long." 

Akeno felt horror at those words as she knew they came from the deepest reach of his soul. Raynare and Esdeath also felt a deep sadness as that was how he lived. But how?

Ares on the other hand grined at those words. 

"Good words to live by. I like you. Your name was Kurayami correct?" 

"Kurayami Himejima. Remember it well." 

Ares closed his eyes and reached up for his face. He ripped off the sunglasses showing off the burning pits of his eyes.

"I shall remember when I kill you." 

He reached behind him and swung his baseball bat down. 

 How would you like to get extinguished: classic or modern?"

Kurayami opened his palms as Rebellion and Submission appeared in them. He crouched down as he placed Submission on his shoulder. He aimed Rebellion at Ares as he took a deep breath. 

"Let's go." 

Rebellion was all for it. 

'Will we be killing a god today?' 

'Maybe.' 

Submission chimed in. 

'Claim his spark with me.' 

'If it comes to that.' 

Ares's teeth were all barred. 

"Classic it is then."

The baseball bat changed into a huge, two-handed sword. The hilt was a large silver skull with a ruby in its mouth. Just looking at it made Kurayami feel a similarity to his own. It was huge and just what he would be using. 

Ares began to laugh.

"Boy. I promise you this will be the greatest fight of your existence."

Esdeath looked at Raynare as they both wanted to help. 

"What do we do?" 

Raynare closed her eyes as she sighed. 

"We let him fight." 

Esdeath grit her teeth as she was not one to be left on the sideline. 

"But-" 

Akeno stopped her. 

"Let them fight. That is the kind of man my brother is."

"But-" 

Before Esdeath could finish Akeno directed her glare at Esdeath. Akeno may not look it at times, but she was Kurayami's twin. She was a monster when she wanted to be. 

"I said, let them fight." 

Esdeath nodded as she knew that Akeno was not to be messed with. 

"Ok. No need to glare." 

Kurayami and Ares did not move for a few moments, but in instants, both moved. From Kurayami erupted a colossal pillar of black touki. An ocean of Holy and Death flames exploded in every direction. 

He pulled Submission back as Ares with one hand swung his blade up. When both giant swords clashed the breaking of the sound barrier several times over caused a massive boom. 

Annabeth and Percy who were in the SUV covered their ears in pain as they were not made to handle battles of these extremes yet. Kuroka had to use her Demonic Power to protect them and the SUV. Ares and Kurayami were not holding back at all. 

With ease, Kurayami swung both of his giant blades so quickly they were blurs. Any normal foe would have been overwhelmed with the power behind each swing, the powers of each sword, but Ares was matching him blow for blow with a single sword. 

Kurayami ducked to avoid a wide swing as he stabbed out with Rebellion. The giant blade cackled with a bloodthirst, but Ares tilted his head to avoid the stab. He extended his leg to kick Kurayami's knee, but he raised his other leg to block. 

The power behind Ares' kick was immense, but thanks to his Mana Reinforcement and Touki he endured. Ares cackled. 

"I have been fighting since ancient times. You may be skilled, but you are still not immortal. What do you get?'

Kurayami answered for him.

"A Longinous, 2 Sentient Swords, and Holy and Death Magic." 

"I did not mean it literally."

As he said that, Ares swung his blade down on top of Kurayami who deflected it with Submission before swinging with Rebellion. He aimed for Ares' side, but expecting that the War god bent his back and summoned a new blade from mid-air to block. 

An exact copy of his main blade. 

"You are not the only duel wielder kid."

Kurayami's face began to twitch as slowly, but surely a distorted smile began to split his features. When Ares summoned the second blade, the stakes increased as now 4 blades were involved. 

Every time Kurayami swung, or stabbed Ares was there to match him. But at the same time, Ares was having trouble as Kurayami was adapting to him as well. Over and over, both men continued their brutal clash. 

They both stopped swinging and locked blades as they pushed against each other. Ares grinned as they both put their brawn into this. 

"You are strong, Kurayami." 

"As are you, Ares." 

Ares pulled his head back as he spoke. 

"But you still holding back. SHOW ME EVERYTHING!"

Kurayami pulled his head back and they headbutted each other. The sheer force behind that headbutt caused a shockwave from the clash point. Esdeath recoil. If that was her, her head would have burst like a watermelon. 

Ares and Kurayami jumped away from each other for a few moments. Kurayami let go of Submission as he reached for his forehead and wiped off his blood. Ares grinned as he felt unharmed. 

"See that, there is more w-" 

Just as he said that golden blood spurted from his forehead. 

"Huh?" 

He reached up and wiped off his blood. Ares stared at his blood for a few seconds before grinning like a feral animal. He wiped his blood into his hair as he locked on Kurayami. 

"Seems I underestimated. Care to take this up a notch?" 

Kurayami popped his neck as he wiped the blood from his forehead down his face. 

"Lets." 

From Ares, a tsunami of Divine Energy radiated. His leather jacket and biker clothes changed into Greek-style armor over his body. His two swords were enhanced by his released energy. 

As for Kurayami, it seemed impossible for him to match Ares, but he proved that wrong when he released his unrestrained Mana. Ares and Kurayami released their Killing Intent as their wills alone began to clash. 

The very earth began to quake under just their wills clashing. Giant gashes appeared in the ground as they began to walk toward the other slowly. The closer they got the worse the clash began as a massive earthquake was starting. 

When they were just a few paces away from each other, they lunged for the other. Ares' swords were coated in Divine Red flames fueled by the wrath of war. Rebellion was coated in Fire and Lightning of the Holy Element while her sister was coated in the opposite. 

This time, they did not stay in one place as they fought on the move. Los Angeles in the distance was hit by a large earthquake, but the city was going to be ok. As for Ares and Kurayami, each clash of the blades caused elemental mayhem. 

Explosions, eruptions, chasms, tears, and sheer elemental mayhem peppered the area for miles. In this state, something had to give way, and when it did it was brutal. A missed swing left Kurayami open which Ares took advantage of. 

A burning sword slash from Ares left a cut on Kurayami's face from his right eye to his chin. That would be a bitch to heal, but Ares did not get out unscathed as Kurayami slashed down with Submission cutting open his chest. 

Neither even flinch as their regeneration would handle it. Kurayami squinted his remaining eye as his mana became more compressed. All his Touki and Mana compressed down around him and his swords. 

Ares' Divine Energy was compressed as well the brutality kept being elevated. Kurayami's right collarbone was sliced in half, but Ares got sliced open from his thigh to his knee. When he kicked Kurayami's knee and broke it, an elbow strike to his leg smashed his bone. 

He caught Ares' leg with his knee before spinning with his remaining leg and throwing Ares away. All the while, Annabeth watched and wanted this power and was inspired by it. Percy on the other hand was horrified. If fights of this level happened all the time, what hope did he have to survive?

However, the Kurayami and his foe did not stop. He jumped in the air to avoid a diagonal sword swing. While in mid-air, jets of fire formed around him and spun in. Black and White lightning smashed against each other in a Positive Negative Reaction. 

Kurayami made it unstable which caused it to explode and he smashed it against Ares' face. Thundering Holy and Death Lightning engulfed Ares' face and armor. Ares was launched several over a mile away. As his armor was engulfed in lightning he continued to spin, until he came to a stop by stabbing his swords into the ground. 

He fell to his knees as he reached for his head and ripped off his helmet. When he did, his mangled face was revealed. The Positive Negative Lightning Reaction did a number on his face.

But, he was a god of War, being injured was not new to him. He rose to his feet and placed a hand on his face which began to heal. 

"FUCK THAT HURT!"

Kurayami began to walk forward as Ares grinned.

"That was a nice kick." 

"Thanks." 

Ares was happier than ever as that had snapped him out of the brainwashing. He laughed to the air a hearty laugh as Kurayami had done him a solid. 

"Seems you were right. I was being fucking taken for a fool. How shameful." 

Kurayami nodded. 

"Do we stop?" 

Ares shook his head as he grabbed his swords. 

"I want to see it. Your Balance Breaker. Let's end this, with one last final exchange. No holds barred." 

Kurayami gripped both his blades tight. 

"You're on." 

Ares began to laugh as he dropped his secondary sword and kept only his first. He bent backward as he began to pour his Divine Energy into his sword. This battle had been so much fun he was going all the way in. 

Kurayami could feel it so he did not hold back either. 

"Balance Breaker, Fiend Of The End." 

Behind Kurayami, the same Razor-Toothed Fiend appeared. It was titanic, over 100 meters long with a burning cross on its head. Its body had been formed of Holy and Necronic Flames while Lightning of the same elements thundered from its back. 

Kurayami's Mana began to be drawn by the Fiend as it opened its giant maw. All his Mana began to gather in the mouth of the beast as a white and black orb of fire began to orbit each other In the middle, White and Black lightning was compressed adding to the mix. 

In the distance, Akeno got a bad feeling.

'KURAYAMI! STOP! DON'T DO IT!'

He blocked their connection as he was all in right now. All his remaining mana was used up and Ares did the same for his Divine Energy. Both of them had crazy grins on their faces. 

Once all his Divine Energy was in his blade, Ares swung down striking the ground full force. At first, it seemed nothing happened, but what came out was not a slash. It was a titanic sword-shaped wall of Divine Energy. 

Kurayami roared as his Balance Breaker pushed him to the breaking point. All his energy was used in this one move. When the Fiend opened its mouth, all everyone saw was a pillar Abyss. It wasn't black, white, grey, or in between, just an absence of light. 

In seconds, Ares' blow and Kurayami's Balance Breaker clashed. For several tense instances, things seemed to hold even, but that only lasted fleeting moments. Instantly, the balance was broken and it was going to explode with more power than any human nuclear device. 

Ares began to madly cackle as while he could run he did not. He began to charge forward despite it. 

"YES! FIGHT WITH ME TO THE END KURAYAMI!"

"RIGHT AT YOU!" 

That was the most emotion he had shown in this life, but a good fight was all he needed. Kurayami snarled and charged forward. He was not going to run, but just as their attacks were about to clash, someone intervened. From the sky, a man extended his hand toward their mess. 

In front of everyone, their massive clash was compressed down into a hand-sized orb which the man threw with all his strength into the sky. For several tense seconds, no one moved, but a few moments later a massive explosion in the atmosphere filled the sky. 

"That was reckless boys." 

Seeing him made Ares and Kurayami freeze. The man was just flying in the sky, but what made them freeze was the Fallen Angel wings behind him. 8 sets or 16 wings in total. 

Only one being had 16 wings he was feared for it. Who does not know who the Angel of Death was? Azrael landed down on the ground between Kurayami and Ares like a disappointed elder. 

"I get being engrossed in a fight, but if that went off California would have become quite a bit smaller. And it would have killed you and my granddaughter. That, I do not condone." 

He stared at Kurayami who fell to his knees in exhaustion. 

"I am sorry." 

"It's fine. No harm done."

In the distance, Raynare looked at him with no fear. She could feel a familiarity with him coming from her very soul. He gave her a comforting feeling she only felt from Kurayami. Raynare began to cry because she felt a connection with him. It was her grandfather. He came for them. 

Seeing her cry made his heart bleed as he was a terrible Father. If he had stayed behind his son and her Father would be alive. That was the promise he made to himself. He may have failed his son, but he would not fail her. 

Now he would have to talk to his granddaughters crush who almost got himself and her killed.
