*Woosh!*

A man sitting on a throne sighed as he felt the hot blade against his neck. The so-called flaming sword protecting the garden wasn't exactly the most welcoming weapon.

"Michael, I am pleased you are he-" The man stopped as the blonde 10 winged angel pressed the blade harder. "Now that's not very nice is it?"

Michael scoffed as he took the blade away and walked out from behind the throne, looking at the man with weary. "Beezlebub... I trust you have something to do with it?... Father is in slumber... How dare you try and wake a bea-" Before Michael could finish Beezlebub yawned loudly, interrupting the Arch-Angel as a small blue flame flickered on his palm.

"You know it's amazing how God created planets to store and control our power. It even works for those lesser bastards... Though I do wish I could have gotten grandfathers... Pluto is just so... Lame."

As he ended his words Beezlebub threw the slowly forming ball toward Michael, only for it to be swatted away faster than he could see. 'Still a fast bastard I see...'

Michael ignored the attack and waved his hand, locking them in a subspace. "I want to know what's happening, Or I'll get Mephisto..." Beezlebub widened his eyes as he heard this, bringing his rival up to threaten him? Michael must think he'd done something bad...

"While I will admit that I may have something to do with it, No I didn't instigate it nor start it... We demons are hardly as strong, especially me... Pluto is known as a fake planet nowadays... Haha... fucking humans."

Michael nodded as he saw that Beezlebub wasn't lying; allowing himself to relax for the first time since entering. "Then I trust you will leave us be if Father chooses him to be eradicated? Having another lucifer or Abaddon now do we?"

"Hmm... I see, I can't agree with that Michael... Unfortunately... I'm not in charge any more..."

Michael's eyes widened as he heard these words, Beezlebubs cocky smile giving him an uncomfortable feeling. "Well... I sent Raphael already... I assume that's it then?"

"Yeah... Good luck uncle... No hard feelings?"

Michael ignored Beezlebub's words as he flashed away...

...(Before Argen went batshit insane)...

"Mortals should never strike a god..." Zeus said as he looked at the fist planted in his chin, the struggling Argen gritting his teeth as he tried to force the fist forward with no results.

Zeus waved his hand, sending a jolt of lightning throughout Argen's body. "See? If you had just sat still..." Zeus muttered as he looked back at the fight with Artemis and Argen's father, seeing the goddess of the hunt with the upper hand.

"Sneak attacks don't work when I can feel the air," Zeus said calmly as he turned to hit Argen's outstretched fist with his foot; Smashing his knuckles in one swift movement.

Argen's eyes widened as the pain shot up his arm. 'Huh?... What am I doing?' The realization of just who Argen was fighting passed through his mind in this second; The pain was a distant memory as his eyes set on the smiling Zeus, this time with an understanding of his situation.

"Sorry," Argen said breathing heavily as he looked past the golden-haired man seeing his mother and father fighting fiercely with each other.

*Crack*

Zeus wasn't one to be fair in a fight, however, nor was he known for his mercy, kneeling Argen in the stomach and shattering his other arm in two swift hits.

"Now, lay down," Zeus said smiling as he pulled his hand back and swung it forward, aiming for Argen's chest.

*Zpthou!*

"Hm?" Argen looked in front of him as he had already been prepared to take it and at least live. Though in front of him was a silver-haired woman, holding the hand sunken in her chest.

Before Argen could react to Selene's actions a drop of ichor splashed into his open mouth, causing the boy to close it and swallow the drop of Ichor.

"Didn't I say-" Selene started to say as she glared at Zeus, only for her words to be cut off by the ichor flying in front of them.

"Hah..." Argen murmured as he wiped the golden Ichor from his mouth with his shattered arms, looking forward at the beast.

"I'm hungry," Argen said ignoring the woman he had kicked away as Zeus gritted his teeth with an uncomfortable look in his eye.

'I'm sure Artemis can handle this...' He thought turning and leaving in a flash of lighting, the pause around the area wearing off.

"W-What's going on?" One human said as they stared at the people covered in blood and sweat in the middle of the room.

"Don't say that name," Artemis was saying as she was behind the beast in a flash, her knife flashing as it sped toward the small of The Beast's back.

"Oh no don't touch me there!" The beast yelled covering his mouth with a teasing look in his eyes as he blocked the bow and kicked at Artemis, only for a chill to run down his spine as he felt a pain in his shoulder.

"H-Huh?" He and Artemis said at the same time as a boy covered in red aura had his teeth sunken in The Beast's shoulder.

"Gods, Humans, Monsters, I hate you all, I hate you, I hate you, I HATE YOU!" Argen yelled enraged as he tore off the flesh, chewing it quickly with a crazed look in his eye; His arms were black and blue from his fight with Zeus...

His emotions were a mess, enhanced by the Ichor he had accidentally consumed.

"Mars," The Beast muttered as his wounds healed, a red glint in his eyes as he smirked at his son. "I hate demons."

"I'm hungry."

Argen bent over on all fours as Asfalis appeared next to him, much larger and fiercer looking than before.

Argen's eyes were close-lidded as he surged forward, faster than both Artemis and The Beast had expected.

"Come, this is no longer our duty," Zeus's voice whispered in Artemis's ear as they both disappeared back to Olympus.

"I reckon we should go too, this is not an affair of the Greeks any longer, nor Egyptian," Khonsu said appearing next to Selene as she sat up, fully healed and watching Argen with a blank expression.

Khonsu noticed this and inwardly sighed, putting his hand on her shoulder. "Hey, not all love is returned, I'm sure there is someone else out the-"

Before Khonsu could finish Selene's face lit up, "He looked at me! He actually noticed me! Let's come back in a bit" Selene said smiling with stars in her eyes as they disappeared as well, leaving Argen and his father with the humans watching in terror.

Due to the mist, a mystical force that blocked humans' perception of the Mythical side of things, what they saw wasn't the true events, but a more mellowed-down version that made sense.

"You should be careful son... These humans can get hurt... Though they are useless to me..." Argen's father smirked as he ignored the gods leaving, he couldn't care less when the race he hated the most, his own race, was right in front of him, practically asking to be killed.

Using the humans as bait he could easily subjugate Argen and kill him.

Argen didn't respond as he was breathing heavily with his eyes closed.

"Well... If you insist on fighting," The Beast said as he put his palms together as red energy came off of them, the ground cracking under the pressure.

"I don't need much to take on-" The beast's words were cut off as all the humans in the room were slashed to bits by a stream of silver and red energy.

"Why are you so shocked?" Argen asked standing there calmly with his eyes now open, his breath stalled as he prepared for another attack.

The Beast's eyes were opened wide, not expecting Argen to simply kill all the humans in the room.

"After all... Didn't you say they were useless?" Argen finished as he dropped his raised hand, a shiny beam of energy fell down from the sky, straight toward The Beast before he could do anything...

"Three weeks ago we were subjects to a terrorist attack right outside the north prison. The suspect seems to have died as well in his cruel judging of these criminals. The terrorist, Argentum Strauss, a victim of domestic abuse seems to have had several bags full of c4 ready to go off-"

The news report shut off as Megan shut off the Tv in the big house, not wanting to hear about the story anymore.

"You think... He's dead?" She asked Percy who was getting ready to leave for the summer, Thalia Grace, the daughter of Zeus was there as well, still getting used to not being a tree again.

Percy didn't answer as he left, his hands shaking as he remembered the huge crater that was shown on the TV.

'How could you?...'

(Somewhere in China)

"Wow! I didn't expect such a visit from you random demigod! What can I do for you?" The Monkey King asked smiling widely as Argen, covered in rags looked at him with a monotone expression.

"I... I want to know... How do I become God?"

(A/N: Is Argen's dad dead? Is Megan crying right now? How will Thalia come into play? What's Selene doing! Why does Argen want to become God?! So many questions so little answers! Find out next time, Sage out)
