Artemis frowned, he was willing to look the other way for her unless Ares came after him, then he would do what was necessary. It didn't matter, Maks was an individual outside The Syndicate and he had a right to choose. ..."The Greatest Son of Man must fall to Save All." Maks said."Ares is likely the most powerful son of man.""Ares's father was mortal, he said his mother was a god. But he gained his god-level powers by working." She said."That doesn't make any sense. Why would he level up when he's already a god? Wouldn't that make him a demigod?""I don't know.""We can ask Ares ourselves." Maks said."Are you serious? The Syndicate wants his head. He's the only hope humanity has now that Pandora is free." She said to him."He must fall which means he has to be taken in."Maks said.She was keeping him in where might be the most horrendous place in the world to keep him from staying in prison. Harley had to be one of the most inconsiderate persons in the planet and she couldn't s

Maks rushed away from danger. He picked up speed and took a car. "He's escaping!" An assassin said and Harley glanced at Maks running away from them. He stopped and the awakeners shook their heads at him. Artemis's eyes tilted."You want me to lead you?" Their eyes were trained on him in wait."Yeah?" He psyched himself up and he trodded back. "Why would Fei do such a thing?" He cleaned his ear. "Okay, so we're going after Pan, right?"One of them coughed. "We're gonna call up the rest of the assassins. First we spy on the monsters and see if they have a pattern. If so, they report back to us and then we close in on their main flanks.The rest of the team with more firepower will open attacks on them. We're going to disorient Pandora for a while so she thinks we're declaring a war. She'll be too busy dealing with the strongest ones.We'll sneak in through a loophole on their blindspot and we...hit Pan as hard as we can.""Sounds like a plan but if we fail?""I don't know but

He picked up going after The Warden. The guard behind him shook."Shoot him." Maks saw the German Shepherd barking and it turned to bite him in the crotch."Aye!" Maks drew energy from the guards. They fainted."And no killing. We just need to bust out of here." The place was dark and Metallie grabbed a torch. Elektra spread electricity through the metal walls. "The screaming is dat a way." She pointed and Maks ran leading them on. He thought Elektra killed them but he sighed when they groaned staying down."So why did you help me?""That's what heroes do.""A hero breaks two criminals out of a high security prison? Please don't tell me that I've been in jail for too long.""I made a deal with Elektra. It's the least I could do." Maks said."I doubt it but...you do you anyways." She outran them and he closed his eyes.She opened the ceiling and Elektra gave her a boost. She jumped out and created two walls to cover them from the shots. "Wait, I can control metal."Their bullets st

The whole thing blew up in my face. My brother died of a strange illness and I hated myself. I vowed never to live in poverty anyway. Besides honest work never got me anywhere. Always got in trouble, didn't have a problem with duping anyone. Until I met your sister Rosie, she was the most beautiful thing I ever seen. I loved her more than life itself. She taught me about charity and such, almost forgot I was supposed to be selling her eye out of her head to her."He pulled out a black fang necklace on his neck. "I joined the assassins. She said I could make good use of my powers fighting. First I thought it was a load of bull. Never worked so hard for so much sterling in my entire life. I still wanted more though, lost money as soon as I gained it. Ghost came in and things were starting to take an ugly turn. Roseline asked me to terminate him whilst I received the biggest news of me life. He asked me to kill her for a whopping sum of money. The most fish I caught in me entire life. I

"I do but it's not my destiny to defeat Pandora. Sadly.""You're not the greatest?""Nope." He shrugged indifferently. "You are."He paled. He wasn't even an A-level awakener. "How so? I can't be the greatest."Ares wrote in mid air using light on his finger. "Maks. The Greatest. Anderson. Son of Andrew or Man. Whatever. It's you. He said....They gazed at him like he had just lost touch with reality. He hoped so too but the answer was clear. Maybe Ares was just playing with his mind."No, that's not possible.""I thought Ares was only trying to kill you because he disapproved of us." Harley said.He smiled sadly at her. "Me too, but like he said. Nothing personal_" He muffled when Harley cried holding on to him as tightly as possible. He couldn't even give her an assurance as much as he wanted to."I'm sorry, Jack." Darragh said sadly."It has to be this way." He said."You're insane!" Sam roared."No, I'm not, it's not really a coincidence either. I have to accept my fate. I have t
