The sounds of battle were everywhere. Linda stood, trying to regain her composure, she looked around her and almost choked. There were several bodies of demigods on the ground, their eyes empty and their flesh cold. Death had already marked them as his own.

Linda was never a fighter prior to Etheron's ascendance, and because of that she had never seen death before. She wished she never saw him before. She sucked in air to let loose a scream, but was stopped as a body slammed into her.

She was knocked down into the mud, she looked up and saw her attacker, a large Cyclops. The cyclops was armed with a large broadsword, stained with fresh demigod blood.

Linda froze in fear, then adrealin kicked in, her body entering "fight or flight" mode. She knew she had to move or she would die. But looking into the Cyclops's single brown eye, all the strength was sucked out of her. The Cyclops smiled at her, ready to kill her.

That's when the black figure jumped and appeared in the air above the Cyclops. "Death!" The figure shouted, the baton in his hands extended, turning into a scythe. The back of the blade was forged into a shape of a some animalistic skull, and a tube-like design wrapped around the entire handle of the scythe. The entire blade was a sickening black, and radiated fear.

The figure fell towards the cyclops and brought his scythe down, cutting the monster neatly into two. Linda was showered with golden dust.

"Ah..." The figure said. "It feels good to kill again." Now that Linda took a good look at him. He was tall and slender. His attire was primarily black, similar to the prayer robes that the "Etherions" wore. His top was skin-tight, showing off his muscles with tails on either side of his legs. A sash was hung across his chest, and was a dark blue colour. His pants were black as well trimmed with blue. And he wore a skull-like mask on his face.

The figure held his hand out. "Come on kid. We're demigods, we always stand up straight for battle."

Linda took his hand and he pulled her up. "Stay here and keep safe." The figure then ran into the wave of monsters in combat with whatever was left of the demigod army.

He easily tore through the monster army, taking down a monster with a swing of his scythe. After several kills, he stood straight looking at the sky. "Ah..I miss this feeling. I think it's time I stop being civilised." His left hand went to his face, and pulled his face free of his mask.

As soon as it was removed, a wave of demigod power spread throughout the area. Now without his mask, Linda could see his features. He had light brown hair and eyes as well as a handsome face. He licked his lips, as if enjoying the taste of death. He looked at the remaining monster army, and smiled like a madman, his eyes full of bloodlust. "Whose next?"

Linda heard a sigh from behind her. "Kendall, kendall. Always taking it too far."

"I agree." Another voice said. "He's demigod aura is so disturbing."

"Let him have some fun boys. He's always forced to be mature and is unable to fulfill his "urges"." A women's voice said.

Linda looked around at the source of the voices. Behind her were three figures wearing similar clothes Kendall wore. The man with white hair and red-browish eyes wore attire trimmed with silver, and instead of the tails that Kendall had, he wore a coat that was part of his uniform, which covered his arms and part of his legs. His sash was hung across his chest and was silver as well.

The women beside him had brown hair and blue eyes, she looked younger than the man beside her. Her attire was a black long skirt and a sleeve-less top and trimmed with gold with boots. Her sash was also the colour of gold. Her arms were covered with gauntlets, with intricate runes on them. Linda was familiar with those symbols, they represented death and darkness. A glowing green amulet, with a skull shape around her neck. She also wore cresent moon shaped earrings.

The final man behind them was probably the most interesting. His eyes were violet. His hair was violet as well, but it was obvious that it was dyed because his eyebrows were brown. His attire was similar to the others, except they were trimmed with white, like his sash. His top was sleeve-less, and he wore the cloth that covered his arms were held in place by white belts, and another belt was around his waist. He looked like the oldest out of the others as they were obvious signs of age and fatigue on his face, and silver necklace was around his neck.

The man with violet hair bent down and touched a body of a fallen comrade. "We should probably protect their bodies, some monsters have been known to eat the flesh of demigods. Some of them might even be alive." Then he looked at Linda, it took her a moment for her to realise he was talking about her.

"That has always been your area of expertise Zane." The man with white hair said. "You should do it."

"Your right Specter." Zane took out a staff, it was pure silver and on top of it was a green gem. "Famine." He said, and the gem on the staff glowed. "Behold the power of 'the ace of clubs'." He slammed the staff into the ground.

Immediately, plants grew out of the ground, covering the bodies of the demigods. Vines grew and grew, covering the bodies and shielding them from the battle. Vines grew from under Linda's feet as well, elevating her several centimetres into the air.

"I've done my job. You guys take care of the remaining monsters. Kendall can't handle all of them." Zane said.

"Of course. I wouldn't want to miss any of the fun." He looked at the women beside him. "You ready my beautiful Sarah?"

"Of course dear." Sarah said, talking to her husband. Sarah's right hand went to her amulet. "War." Immediately her amulet glowed bright green."

Specter pushed back his coat, revealing a holster where a gun was kept. He took out the gun, pointing it into the air. The gun was a handgun, though it was much larger than a normal gun. There were silver designs on it's side, a symbol similar to four rings connected together just above the trigger. "Let's go Conquest."

"I summon the immortal warrior of the underworld." Sarah started the incantation. "Serve your mistress and rise from the dead! Alcarier!" The ground behind her shook.

Slowly, bones rose from the ground and began forming a body. It was large and skeletal, if it still had flesh it probably would have been muscular. It was a huge creature made of bones, it's skull was similar to a dinosaur head but their were horns on it. It stood on four legs and had a tail and large skeletal wings. It was a dragon.

"Alcarier, Strike." Sarah said. The dragon roared and lunged forward. It's skeletal wings though deprived of flesh and skin, could still lift it off the ground. It attacked the monsters with full force, unharmed by their attacks.

Specter raised his gun, aimed it at a monster and fired. Then another and another. The bullets penetrated the flesh of the monsters and each one took down at least three. Conquest was not a normal gun, it didn't require bullets. It generates an unlimited amount of bullets, and each bullet always either kills or injuries the victim greatly.

Monster after monster fell one after the other. One monster shouted. "The Aces! Their here! Kill them!" Soon after he fell prey to Conquest's bullets.

Soon enough the monsters were eradicated. The Aces stood proud among the chaos. The remaining demigods shouted a cry of victory.

"Amazing." Linda muttered, amazed by the power of the four Aces. How these four individuals won a battle that hundreds of demigods were losing. "So this is the power of the Aces."
