Dean Summers

Battle to Hell

 Everyone was on edge, I was the new guys in this "boat" and most of the team kept there distance from me as they all took there own spaces in the RV and would stare at different places and when I mean stare I mean they could burn a hole in the side of the RV with that much staring so I was the first to break the silence.

"Im Dean by the way, nice to meet you all under the circumstances" I piped up cautiously to see who would be the first to speak.

"Elicia daughter of Demeter, this is my sister Nox daughter to Nyx. Nice to have you with us I guess" Elicia sat back down and started fiddling with the ends of tape on the chair. Allen was the next to speak to me "Im Allen, son of Helios, who did you say your godly parent is?" he asked sitting on the floor across from me.

"Im the son of Ersa, goddess of the morning Dew" I said looking as proud as I could be but I wasn't that proud seeing that my mother took my father away from me as an act of "protection". "Isn't Dew a form of water droplet, what signifigance is that to your demigod abilities?" Megan asked looking as bad as I felt.

"Well so far I have learned to cause torrential rain and make rain duplicates of myself but I have yet to learn the art of making weapons out of the rain I can cause" I replied making it sound as cool as possible. "As touching as this conversation is going, I must tell you that we have company up ahead" Leo said as calm as he could but once we looked out we saw maybe fifty to sixty demigod Zombies standing in lines.

"What the hell do we do now?" Nox asked letting the darkness dance between her fingers.

"We have to fight them because to be quiet honest I don't fancy getting this paint job ruined after spending a full hour trying to fix it, wait it looks like someone is going to get a head start" Leo said and pointed to a girl who was running up behing the Zombies with a katana and what appeared to be a Beretta 92 pistol. She ran up on the left side of the Zombies and ran as fast as she could swiping at the Zombies but one of them caught her off guard and had her by the throat "I am not standing here watching her get killed" Elicia shouted at us and barged out the door, held her hand in the air and thorn vines wrapped around the Zombie holding the young girl and strangled it.

"When did you learn to do that?" Allen asked Elicia in surprise, looked at the vines and then back to Elicia still in shock.

"I don't know, It was a spur of the moment thing I guess, no time for talk, Let's fight" Elicia said, the team and her charged into battle leaving only Leo and I. I looked at Leo and then to the sky. "I hope you have a raincoat" I said and held up my hands and the rain started to lash down on us drenching the ground and everything around us.

Malcolm looked my way whilst he stabbed a Zombie and mouths "Just what I need" runs to the perimeter, holds his hands in the air and a flash of lightning struck a grouped number of Zombies. I took out my Spear and flung it at the farthest Zombie and it pierced him in the head, I used the rain to make three duplicates and all four of us ran into join the battle. I took out my dagger and leaped into the air and on my downward desent I took out three Zombies with a boomerang technique I was though on my travels by some jogging dude with a seriously noisy cell phone. I slashed and maimed any near Zombies until I heard a scream. I turned around to find that Elicia had been stabbed in the shoulder. I turned to the Zombie gulity of hurting Elicia and I used what I call a "you can't touch this" dagger movement which is so fast you can't feel it when it hits you. I dragged Elicia over to the curb of the street and as I stood I felt a hand grasp my neck.

"You... can't.... touch....me!" I said and as my dagger fell to the ground the rain gathered around my fist making some sort of axe so I stuck it in his knee and he exploded on the spot. I stood turned to see that we had finished killing the Zombie. "Guys, you will never guess where we are?" Rachel said with a terrified expression on her face.

"Where are we?" Leo looked at her with a serious look smeared across his face.

"This is one of the passages to the underworld, it's the quickest way for Hades to get to the Garden of The Gods" Rachel said.

<p style="text-align: left; ">"So for the moment we are in Colorado?" Luke asked.

<p style="text-align: left; ">"Yes and for this to end it looks like we are going down, to face Hades himself" Rachel finished walking up to the new girl.

<p style="text-align: left; ">"Hey Im Denise, daughter of Pallas, God of Warcraft, thanks for saving me" she said politely.

<p style="text-align: left; ">"Denise" Rachel said looking towards the crack in the road "This is your time to meet Hell"
