(Story: "Progressing Goals")

"I was expecting you here a bit sooner. Was your pantheon giving
you trouble? I could help you fix that." Zeus says to Michael,
who had just arrived in Olympus. To Michael's side was the
alternate Castiel, who stood silently as they walked into the
throne room.
Michael: Nice and roomy in here... He says as he looks around
and notices the space in the throne room. Sorry I'm late... It
took a little longer than I thought to get my people over here
and get everything stablized. This heaven was in worse shape
than I thought. When I got there, Heaven was slowly failing to
keep itself from falling apart without the angels. Sariel was
barely able to keep things together. But I think I've managed
to... smooth things over... He says with a smile.
Zeus: Good to know. It seems everything is set then. Did you
bring what I asked for? He says as he gets up and walks over to
Michael.
Michael takes out a vial of angel grace and hands it to Zeus.
Michael: Of course. I take it you have what you promised as
well?
Zeus: Indeed. He hands him a formula, which was in two vials.
This should be exactly what you're looking for... And I've
altered it to allow for the adding of angelic grace to it as
well.
Michael smiles as he examines the formula, sensing the power in
it. Zeus: You should be able to use the first one and use the
second to reproduce it. It does exactly what I promised. It
purifies the being into a pure holy being. My son, Hei, can
vouch for it's purification power and the conversion of holy
power, as can my previous host that was his son.
Michael smiles a bit as he puts the formula away. Michael: I'll
be sure to test it on a few people. I have a number of creatures
joining me. Thankfully, it's not just some humans and angel
hybrids, but I also have some other supernatural creatures.
Vampires and werewolves, that sort of thing. A few I've enhanced
with angelic grace, but this is the final step I need to power
up the "different" supernatural beings. Too many darkness types
that need something a bit better for their... power...
Zeus: I can guarantee it will do the job. I made sure to test
the formula and work out the "side effects" that my son suffers
with his "personality quirk" as he puts it. He says as he puts
the vial of angel grace into his pocket. There should be no side
effects of the formula.
Michael: I have your word on that?
Zeus: I made sure to test it very thoroughly. If it doesn't work
as intended, I'll redo the formula. He says as he looks over to
Castiel. So... Is this one of your subordinates?
Michael: Indeed... The best torturer in the business. He should
help with your "mole" problem. He says with a prideful smile.
Zeus: Good... Hei's sons are proving a bit more difficult to
track than I would like. And apparently any one my forces
capture seems to... be stronger than I'd like. And apparently
I've had some trouble corrupting them. It seems their military
groups have found a way to cleanse the DNA of things like my
corruption.
Michael: Well... Have Castiel... take a look at them. There
hasn't been anyone he hasn't been able to break yet. He says as
he waves to Castiel.
Zeus: Very well... Artemis. Take Castiel to the prisoners. Zeus
says as Artemis seems to appear in a burst of lightning,
switching from her lightning wolf form to her mortal form.
Artemis: Yes father. She says before bowing to Zeus and then
walks out with Castiel to handle the prisoners.
Michael: And... what about our "other" experiment? What's the
progress on that one? He asks curiously.
Zeus: It goes well. My new angel gems are close to completion.
We need only stablize the effects as some beings cannot handle
the power of the gems. Usually those of dark natures reject the
power. But with my son's formula, and the angel grace you
provided, we should be able to fix that little... problem.He
says as he starts walking to the door, to which Michael follows.
Zeus takes him to the experimentation area, where a man layed on
a surgeon table. Zeus goes over and grabs some tools, while also
grabbing their "angel gem." The man was watching and trying to
scream, but his mouth had been sown shut so he could only make
muffled sounds.
Zeus: Now... Let's see how this works. He takes the angelic gem,
and pours a small amount of angelic grace into the gem. Once the
gem starts to shine, he cuts the man's chest open, causing him
to scream in a muffled manner, and Zeus places the gem into him.
The man instantly starts to shake and tremble violently, and
starts shining with angelic light. His dark power seemed to be
slowly converted, but during the process, the angelic grace
seems to cause an adverse reaction which causes the man's
internal organs to burn with holy light, and light starts
shooting from his mouth and eyes. The man ends up putting so
much force into screaming that he tears the sown stitches on his
mouth, causing his mouth to bleed heavily as the grace was
burning out his mouth and eyes completely. Before long, the man
falls to the table, dead, smoking from the angelic light that
had burned him up internally.
Zeus: As you can see... It seems our power is a little TOO
potent for these weaklings. The mortals in this world are so
much weaker that I was expecting.
Michael smiles a bit. Michael: A bit too much juice I think...
we may need to... dilute the formula a bit. Or tailor it a bit
better to whatever creature you want to use.
Zeus: Well, I could try my blood, but my grandson's
(Takahashi's) angelic power tends to cause the same effect on
those I've tried this on. He says with a sigh.
Michael: I suppose I could try a few things. Let's try a little
less of the angel juice first and see if that does the trick. He
says to Zeus.
Zeus: Agreed. Given what you've provided, it seems we really
don't need much at all. He says as he takes another crystal and
fuses it with some angelic grace, however he takes some time to
dilute the process, fusing it only in extremely small increments
to try and dilute the grace a bit. I suppose I had better go
find a subject...
Michael: How's the other project going? The artificial "holy
ones"? He asks curiously.
Zeus: Fairly well. I've already started planning on deploying
them. I'll show you after we finish here. I plan to test them in
the arena to see how they work out compared to the other
supernaturals of this world. Then I can begin my plan to wipe
out all the foolish other pantheons that would refuse to stand
with me.
Michael: Well... While we're waiting, I hear you had an...
encounter not long ago.
Zeus: Yes well... Since coming to this world, there's been no
shortage of fools thinking they could take my throne from me.
The last one was a bit more interesting though... He says before
he starts recalling his encounter.

It was a casual day for Olympus since Zeus took over. Zeus had
prisoners to experiment on, and fights going on in the collesuem
for people to enjoy where the useless prisoners were sent to
fight until they literally die from exhaustion or get killed
after getting exhausted. The collesuem was something that Zeus
usually watched directly, sitting in a throne chair at the top
of the arena. Some people truly enjoyed the fights, but most
were just people who were too scared to say no to the concepts
and didn't want to seem out of place for avoiding Zeus's forces,
as people who tried to avoid Zeus for long would usually get
tracked down and captured, usually to be thrown into the arena
themselves, or be experimented on and never seen again.
However, ever since Zeus had taken over, he had protected his
pantheon from other pantheons, and not even Hyperion and Black
Sun were willing to try and take over Olympus with Zeus in
charge, though it was obvious both groups were trying to figure
out how to take over. Zeus hadn't gone after Hyperion and Black
Sun yet, but it was obvious he was planning on building up his
forces to take them both out if he could manage to build his
forces the way Hyperion and Black Sun had managed to.
However, the one thing that was different about this day was the
man who had made his way to the top of the arena, taking out
groups of Zeus's soldiers, which were mostly just enhanced
supernaturals he'd corrupted and turned to his side. They
weren't worth much to him, but he used them to act as his
"police force" in a sense so he wouldn't have to do everything
himself.
Of course, as the man blasted through the door and put his large
sword through the chair, Zeus had seemingly vanished, and
appears in a burst of lightning behind the man. Zeus looks him
over curiously, having swithced to his Takahashi Darkfire form,
which he tended to frequent in fights, not just because the form
was angelic in power and much more agile than his normal form,
but because he usually used the form to play mind games with his
opponents when he was in battles, especially against those that
know Father Hei and know his first son was corrupted by Zeus.
Zeus: So... Another fool thinks they can sneak up on me? You're
a fool to think that would work.
The man turns around putting his sword on his shoulder with a
smile. Man: Yeah... I should have known. Thought it was worth a
try at least though.
Zeus: You have some courage. I'll give you that. He studies the
man. So tell me... What's your name, boy? I sense this world's
Zeus's power in you... and you look similar to someone I knew in
my world... Or at least, knew of.
The man smiles. The name's Arthur. Arthur Gikari. I'll be your
executioner this fine evening. He says jokingly.
Zeus: Another fool thinking they can take me on?
Arthur gets serious and points his sword at Zeus. Arthur: Let me
be clear... I'm going to kill you, old man! Your throne will be
mine.
Zeus: Such confidence... You are indeed Arthur Gikari. And you
are just as foolish as the one who tried to stand before me in
my world. But he was devoured because I needed his power. I
don't need your power since it's already in my blood... So you
are of no use to me. He says as he summons his holy knight
energy, which was the same as Arthur's power, which surprised
him.
Arthur: That's... my power... He says, analyzing the power.
Zeus: Yes... You were one of my former host bodies. Another
being who crumbled to my will as every host of mine does. He
says as he summons gauntlets which were very similar to the ones
Arthur uses for his unique Thunder Fist style. So... Let's see
if you compare to my world's Arthur.
Zeus moves with unnatural speed as Zeus uses Sonido, and goes
for a power attack, which Arthur barely has time to block with
his sword. Realizing his sword wasn't going to win the fight in
a contest of speed like Zeus had just displayed, he uses the
sword to block Zeus's view, then summons his own gauntlets, and
has the sword disappear right before Arthur sends a power attack
of his own at Zeus.
Zeus dodges the attack, even though he couldn't sense the attack
coming since Arthur hadn't infused it with lightning. However,
Arthur throws another attack, as the two start comparing their
own Thunder Fist styles in close quarters combat. Zeus manages
to stay ahead of Arthur due to his unnatural speed thanks to
Takahashi's high speed movement art. The two manage to stay
fairly even for a bit, with Arthur trying to use his higher
defense to block a few of Zeus's techniques, with the two
getting good punches on each other now and then. It was obvious
though that Zeus wasn't trying too hard against Arthur. After
almost 10 minutes of close combat, the two throw a punch that
hits the other, and the two are knocked back.
Arthur: Damn... This won't be easy. But I didn't expect it to
be. He says with a smile.
Zeus: I'm not entirely disappointed... That's certain a
surprise. He says before summoning a storm overhead. However,
this wasn't a normal storm, but the power of an angelic storm
that was used using both his holy knight and angel power from
Takahashi. Mixing the smiting power with a thunderbolt, he
strikes it down with pure raw energy, not giving Arthur time to
dodge or giving him warning other than Zeus motioning upward
with his arm which he did to use his power to generate the
storm.
Arthur barely has time to counter the powerful attack, which
would have probably left him a smoldering pile of burnt flesh if
it hadn't been for his own unique skills he'd been developing as
of late, and the newest one he just used which increased his
defense immensely using lightning. The lightning runs over him
to increase his defense, and the attack seems to engulf him.
After the attack is done, Zeus is surprised to find that Arthur
was still standing, and seemed only slightly burned by the
attack. Due to his holy resistance and his training, Arthur had
managed to take the attack with only minimal damage.
Zeus: Impressive... The Arthur in my world would have surely
fallen to that attack. He says as he analyzes Arthur's power.
Interesting... Your power isn't quite like my Arthur.
Arthur: That's right old man. The power of the Kirin! He says as
his body was covered in what looked like dragon scales. He
returns to normal and then gets ready again. I'm not some weak
Zeus kid like the other rulers here were! I'm a holy knight with
the power of the mighty Kirin, and the reincarnation of King
Arthur! He says as he goes and attacks Zeus again.
Zeus: The Kirin... Now that's a power my Arthur didn't have
before I took him over. He stops for a moment. Perhaps I was
wrong... Maybe I can use you after all. The Kirin are similar in
nature to dragons and I have a dragon powered son that I will
need to fight. Give me some of your blood and I just might
forget this little attempt you've made on me.
Arthur: "Might"? Let's be honest old man... You're gonna kill me
either way. Probably as one of those little experiments of
yours.
Zeus chuckles a bit. Zeus: I probably would. But I suppose I can
just have your corpse studied! He says before jumping into
another speed based art, and punching Arthur hard in the
stomach, knocking him back before he could block the attack.
Before Arthur can even recover, Zeus goes in and starts to use a
combo attack mixing power and speed attacks before Arthur can
try to get back on his feet.
Zeus knocks Arthur through the wall, and Arthur falls to the
ground, coughing up blood after the attack. While he was trying
to regenerate, his regeneration is stopped when Zeus kicks him
while he's coughing up blood, knocking him across the room into
another wall. Arthur's regeneration struggles to keep up with
the damage, with Arthur barely able to even move before Zeus
picks him up and stabs through Arthur's chest with his hand.
While it doesn't kill Arthur, it does leave him in critical
condition as Zeus drops him. At this point, Zeus was no longer
toying with Arthur, and showed that Arthur wasn't strong enough
to take Zeus on at his full capacity once he started taking the
fight seriously.
Arthur slowly tries to move, realizing he was gonna lose unless
he did something as he regenerated very slowly. His regeneration
was slowing heavily due to the damage done, and it didn't help
when Zeus summoned his thundersword, and stabbed Arthur through
the stomach before his wounds had fully healed. The Thunder
Sword was a special god-killer weapon originally designed by
Raiden Kindron's teacher, Raiden, for Raiden Kindron to use to
kill Zeus, but Zeus had gotten to it after he found out about it
and got a hold of it before it had been bonded to Raiden
Kindron. As the weapon is removed, Zeus summons a vial and drops
some of Arthur's blood that was on his sword into the vial
before putting the vial away.
Zeus: I have no more use for you, boy... So go to whatever
afterlife you subscribe to these days. He says before going to
attack. However, he was forced to halt his attack when a blast
of fire and a cigarette come toward him, trying to blast him
from behind. The force doesn't even make Zeus flinch, since he
had fire manipulation, but the cigarette exploding in dark
flames was enough to force Zeus to have to block the attack.
While he was focused on the smoke around him which clouded all
of Zeus's senses, Solace, the human form Salamander who was a
major member of Stormbreakers, had managed to crawl his way in
and grab Arthur, and carried him to safety while carrying him
over Arthur over his shoulder with one hand.
Zeus was distracted by more cigarettes which all were thrown and
explode, preventing him from going after Solace. while Zeus
wasn't affected, he did have to use his holy fire to prevent the
attacks from hurting him.
When the smoke and fire died down, Rock was standing there
smiling with a cigarette, and next to him was Father Hei, in
spirit form.
Rock: Good thing the priest found us, or Arthur would be a dead
man. He said he wouldn't have any problems with this one. He
says as he takes a puff of his cigarette. I told him we should
have attacked as a group.
Zeus: So... Another pissant and my other son. He turns to Father
Hei, noticing that Father Hei looked different. You've gotten
stronger, boy. The glasses are a good look for you.
Father Hei looks at Zeus with a look of cold fury, which was
rare for Father Hei. Father Hei looked at Zeus. Father Hei:
Soon... That smile is going to get wiped off your face. We will
beat you soon enough. He says to Zeus.
Zeus: I take it you mean those ants that were ruling this place
before are going to beat me? They are hardly even a threat to my
servants, you think they could stand up to me?
Father Hei: Wait and find out, old man. He teleports Rock and
himself away, leaving Zeus all alone.
Zeus thinks on the encounter he had. Zeus: It seems even things
I know can surprise me... Hei has gotten stronger, and so has
Arthur... Maybe they'll all prove useful to me after all. I
might be able to use them. He turns and starts walking away,
taking out the vial he'd gotten of Arthur's blood. It's not
much... But this blood should be enough to study for now... I
suppose Hei thought that I couldn't study him without the
corpse, but that's not the case. If my Arthur has the same
potential, perhaps I can further my power even more. He says as
he walks away. Artemis. He calls, to which alternate Artemis
appears in a burst of lightning in her lightning wolf form.
Artemis: Yes father?
Zeus: Track Arthur Gikari and his friends down. Kill him and
bring me Arthur's corpse. And maybe the other two if you can
bring them alive. I could use them as pawns or experiment
fodder. He says, to which Artemis just nods and vanishes. Zeus
continues walking, going back to his throne chair to watch the
fighting in the arena. I'll look forward to watching the hunt.
He says as he uses his godly vision to watch Artemis as she
started tracking Arthur and the others as he goes back to
watching the fight in the arena as well.
End Flashback
After listening to the story, Michael smiles a bit. Michael:
So... did the blood help at all with the holy powers we've been
trying to build in our soldiers?
Zeus smiles a bit as he opens the door to the lab, and goes
inside. As Zeus told the story, they had been walking to the
experimentation room where Zeus was working on other secret
projects. Zeus: Indeed it did... The first angelic powered holy
knight... And the new order of soldier for our combined forces.
He says as he turns on the light in the room, revealing a man in
the tank. I haven't named him yet, but he is the first perfect
specimen created to be the new line of knights to act as the
champions of the gods and will hunt down anyone dumb enough to
oppose our rule. He says as he revealed the man in the tank, who
turns and looks to them. The man shined with holy power, as
though showing Michael his holy power while also studying him
carefully, being silent since he was unable to talk while in the
tank.
Michael: You've really outdone yourself. He's perfect. He says
with a smile.
Zeus: Yes... And soon I will have models that can be
mass-produced, and once the angel stone is equipped to them,
they'll be ready to use to show those other organizations how
foolish their attempts to take over this world truly are. He
says, also with a smile.
Michael: And bring peace to a world torn by war... Once we kill
all the groups warring for the world, they'll all bow to us.
They won't deny our rule when we save their pathetic lives...
Zeus: The first step. And then we will crush the other pantheons
that dare to think themselves "gods".
End.
