บท 79: War is brewing…

"Who is that guy?" Mordred asked as he stood next to kratos. Nia had the same question, the only thing he knew about this situation was that they wanted something.

"Hah, who are these guys behind you, you really did bring an army huh?" Luke said smiling as he looked down on Argen.

Argen didn't say anything as his fingers twitched, looking at Luke was annoying.

He remembered when he had been naive and thought he had found an actual family, only for Kronos to be using him for his body.

"An army… No, I brought my family."

Argen's words surprised the others, even Scathath. Though she had been with him for a while now, she had never thought he would consider them family.

"Ah how heartwarming… Too bad it's bullshit, Family? You have no family, the only family you have… hates the thought of your existence."

Argen didn't say anything as the others stayed still and waited for any indication that they would be fighting.

"So why are you here Argen? Surely you know I wouldn't have anything to bring back that bitch you led to death-"

That was as far as Luke got as Argen slammed his fist into the Chariot, looking Luke in the eyes coldly.

"Don't ever…" Argen breathed in before looking at Luke calmly.

'I see, he has more control of his emotions now… I can't tell if this is good or bad…' Scathath thought as Argen turned away.

"Yeah I knew there was no way that she could come back… Haha… Yeah I'm such an idiot…" Argen stood there looking away from Luke and just staring at his partners.

"I just can't stand it, when I saw her die in my arms, it was worse than any abuse I'd ever received… My mistake… I really should have known you know? Just like you should have known not to mess with me like that…"

Argen had barely uttered the last word before his body moved in a blur, slamming into Luke and throwing him off of the Sun Chariot(Ferrari)

"There we go, just like I remember," Luke said standing up without a scratch as Argen rushed forward and slammed his elbow into his stomach.

*Boom!*

Luke fist collided with Argen's face at a speed faster than sound, breaking the sound barrier as Argen stayed still.

"Hm? I was expecting you to block it…" Luke said in slight surprise.

"Block… That puny punch? Nah, I'm never blocking until my body is strong enough that I don't need to block…"

Luke looked at Argen and back at his fist. "That's… So stupid!" He said slamming his elbow into Argen's throat and kicking the boy away.

"You kidding me? I become a god from voodoo magic just to beat your ass and take you to Kronos, and you're telling me you're not gonna block my punches? What a waste!"

Luke threw Argen into a tree as the others lunged at him, only to be caught mid air by a bunch of tendrils.

"Argen you should know, your dad, we've been in contact… You're going to have to choose soon, because there's going to be a war either way. Good or bad? Right or wrong? That shit won't matter after this war… I'm giving you this one chance, choose wisely yeah?"

Luke began to step away before Argen grabbed his shoulder. "Fuck are you talking about? A war? Who cares about that, I just came to beat your ass."

Argen punched Luke in the face and flashed behind him, kneeing him square in the back and raising his hand, blowing a large beam of red energy through his immortal body.

"Ah… Damn, I could have sworn I would die right there, how did you do that?" Luke said breathing heavily as blood, normal red blood and not the golden ichor of gods, spilled from his side.

"Do what? You were never a god, you were simply doing tricks, besides… You can't take a divinity by simply stealing someone's immortality… I win this one Luke, hmm… I'll give you one chance, Choose wisely yeah?"

With these words Argen walked away with his group, he only got around 100 feet before a voice in his head made him stop in his tracks.

'I lied before, about that girl, she can come back, there's a price though… Are you willing to do it? I wonder haha…'

Argen turned his head sharply, only to see Luke gone and everything back to normal.

"Let's just go, I know that you miss her but-"

"Yeah, you're right, let's just go…" Argen gulped as he heard the price, would he go through with it? For some selfish desire like this?

Having thought with his feelings for so long it felt weird to think with logic, but Buddha had helped him calm down, so he really had no choice but to think with logic.

'Am I really willing to do all that… For Law?' Argen thought for a second as he opened the portal to Camelot.

Yes, yes he was. He knew even as he thought it he'd do anything to bring his "Sister" back. She was the first person he ever trusted after leaving Camp Half blood, and she may have been the last…

'How will the others feel though? A war against the gods, us Vs. Them… The energy collected would be enough to bring back law but…'

"Argen, what are you thinking about?" Scathath asked as the others left to their rooms to get some rest.

"Ah, nothing important… But I think it's about time we start getting stronger, or we'll… It's about time for me to get stronger… I need to visit some one… I want everyone to train their skills as much as I can… Get them ready for war."

With this Argen opened a portal out of Camelot and disappeared without tellling anyone where he was going.

(In a Dark Vast space)

"Ahh… You know I was wondering when you'd show up, she'll love that you're here, you're all she talks about…" A man in a silver suit said smiling slightly as Argen appeared in front of him.

"Cut the small talk, I'm here for one reason and one reason only… And you know what it is," Argen said sighing as he looked around the dark place.

"Ah yeah, but are you sure you want to do this?" The man asked as he disappeared and reappeared with a hand on Argen's shoulder.

"You could die ya know?" He finished with a smile as Argen just looked him in his eyes.

"And?"

The man smiled as a girl came walking out, her footsteps loud and echoing in the dark space.

"A war huh? It's not the first we'll be in, and it won't be the last, we'll teach you… After all how can I say no to the one I'm destined to be with!" Selene said flashing next to Argen and hugging him.

Argen didn't react as he just sighed. Out of all the gods he'd met, these two were the weirdest…
