The Godslingers: Chapter 25

Jack's POV

This was not my ideal day. Okay, fight the king of the Gods with the power and mind of Gaia? No. Climb up one of Earth's tallest mountains? Nuh-huh. Get nearly frozen by my teammate? Hell, no.

Anyway, the Zeus-Gaia tried to blast me clean out of existence. I dodged, parried and deflected it's blast. Then I swung my mace. Just as it was about to hit, gold letters swirled around it, spelling ειρήνη. Peace, the word that in welsh caused my Mace to become a card. It did so. I kept saying "Pali. PALI!" But nothing happened. I saw an ogre holding a mace charge me. I saw one of Josh's arrows lying on the ground. I picked it up and stabbed the ogre. It exploded into gold dust and dropped it's emerald mace. The spikes were Imperial Gold, and the rest emerald. The handle was wrapped in rough black and brown leather. I swung it and a harpy disintigrated. "This'll do until the charm wears off...If I live that long." I muttered to myself. I killed a Gegegene and then a lightning bolt impaled itself in the ground a few feet away from me. Andrew threw them everywhere. Josh was in gold form, shooting lasers from his hand. Then the Gegenes surrounded him. He unleashed his wall of force and a wall of gold dust appeared following it. Linda froze Gegene and Andrew dispersed Venti. Then an arrow impaled the Zeus-Gaia. It stuck in, but it fell out as if he was made of mud. I looked at Revenger. The letters were gone. "Yes. This'll work. Andrew! Linda!"

The couple looked at me. "Create as much wind as you can! Blow the Zeus-Gaia of it's feet!"

"JOSH! WILLIAM! CAUSE A DISTRACTION!"

Josh began to glow and William put Josh on his shoulders. They ran behind the Zeus-Gaia and began to do a complex dance. The Zeus-Gaia looked utterly confused. Then Andrew and Linda did it, causing the Zeus-Gaia to get stuck a few feet above the ground. I threw Revenger in card form. It lodged itself in the Zeus-Gaia. Then I shouted "PALI!"

The half of the card coming out of Zeus Gaia became a mace handle. Then a gold flash and a demonic howl filled my senses.

When it was gone, all the Godslingers were laying on the ground. Zeus was standing, looking like himself again, standing over Gaia. A master bolt was in his hand. Zeus said "Gaia, you are exiled." He dropped the master bolt and Gaia exploded into green sparks. Zeus congratulated us and then transported us home.
