"Maks came to my home? By himself? Does anyone have him by a leash.""I can hear you." Maks said with a serious look on his face at the gazebo.She bit her lip at his sun hat, his hair was a lot more neater, he wore a boiler suit, gloves and sneakers. The only thing suspicious about him was his red nose and sunken eyes."You look ridiculous.""It's the boiler suit." "No, it's your face."He sniffed. "I'b been paighting a pew buck bemans."She grimaced. She thought that she heard he had been painting a few buck B-mans. "Must be a strong paint."His accent was horrible and his nose was stuffy. "No, DUCK DEMONS.""Whatever floats your boat, you're you here for the strawberries?""Yeah and my friend." He made a pathetic attempt to smile and Artemis's eyes narrowed in suspicion."You should have yourself checked or else you're gonna infect her berries." She said. "And everyone else.""Well, I promised to check in everyday. And on you.""Save your breath. I have this covered." Lewis cleare
Sentinel went to a huge mansion with Ares on the front seat. The garden was a whole different image. Anyone would expect a barren land full of spears with human skulls on them. But there were cabbage roses and a brick rotary with a fountain and a statue of Faunus on top."I had him and we could take on those demons anyway.""I don't want you to fight.""What's the point of training me if I'm not even going to prove myself. You never even take me to your so-called battles.""I'm well aware of the fact that I train you and you're supposed to understand that I'm a very powerful man and a wanted man.""I can help you fight." She said and Ares's expression was blank behind those shades and he shook his head. She almost had him, he heard from his eyes and ears that he never hesitated. Why was he suddenly talking to the likes of her?Could it be that he knew she was special?Sentinel had immense strength and power but what if she discovered them through the boy. He couldn't let her go anywhe
Maks tried everything he could. "Pan, where are you? Where am I supposed to get an explanation?" He meditated and woman in a flowing white dress emerged from the darkness. Her eyes looked sunken and her inky black hair was foggy."Listen, Sentinel wants my side of the story and it better be convincing." He didn't know if he should trust her either. She was going to kill him too.Pan Bandura lifted her hand. "Years ago, I proposed a treaty of peace with Ares in order to keep monsters at bay from humans and Ares thought going to war with me was the best solution. In fact he banished many souls into the spirit world. To gain more power. The null void where they could not reincarnate. I was rendered powerless and kept prisoner for many years. He was senile, even his family acknowledged that. But he was too powerful. He fought many awakeners to the last. Slaughtered many against his vision and till today. He is the reason why a few monsters and demons roam freely. He is a menace to the nam
She gave him a spinning kick and Maks rammed her into the water. She was drenched. She felt her the dampness behind her mask, it was turning soggy. "Well played.""Would you settle down and listen to me?""No, you're lying, you just wanna use me like the rest of the awakeners. That's what he said...I'm glad his eyes are open to the real world." She rammed him into a portal. He shouted coming out of another and she turned to punch him. He groaned and she rushed to shove him down to a puddle in the ground."Ah!" She yawned when he fell through two portals parallel to each other. Up and down, up and down. Maks flew out of the loop when he was fed up and he leaped over her.He stayed airborne. Out of her reach."Coward!" She said although her eyes were constricted. He noticed when he flew her away from Ares reach to speak to her."He's keeping you in the dark. If Ares's eyes were open then he wouldn't keep you away from the world. He would let you explore it for yourself.""Gah! Do you t
Sentinel felt two claws on her shoulders. She screamed when a bat man hissed swooping up with her. "PROVIDENCE." It said in a gravelly voice. She kicked out and gazed fearfully at the rooftops. She couldn't let it let her drop but she couldn't let it take her away either. She struggled."Claws off." She blew up in flames and it screeched blowing up in flames too.She dropped from the sky and screamed. Maks saw her plumetting and a bat man grabbed him. They surrounded him until he shrugged them off. "Sentinel!"She tumbled in the sky and her eyes stung with tears. She jump-started her fists with fire. "Come on, a confidence boost is all you need." Maks tried to reach her and her fists and legs blew up in flames. She glided towards a tank and landed on the body. She gasped holding on to the sides. Her dark hair drifted in the wind and she gazed down at the rooftops and other houses. She could have gone splat in a matter of minutes. "Oh god.""Can you come down?" "No thanks, I'll
Maks paused, was he being too hard on Rex? He put that to the back of his mind and he checked on his suit. A burned black imprint was on his chest like an emblem."Don't worry, we can replace that. You sure you don't want to be wired?" Artemis asked holding her box. "Whatever, I appreciate that you're letting me handle this.""I appreciate how things are coming together so smoothly. Just don't get carried away. She's your enemy, don't go all out on her until the time's right.""Yeah. That." He said tugging his collar."I trust you, Maks, don't fail me."She hugged him quickly and left.Maks left and he met with Sentinel sitting on a boulder overlooking a grass field.The stars were out and they went to battle monsters. Grass spirits that didn't take to being stomped on.Maks went out for weeks on end and he expected a beatdown but Sentinel was more interested with monsters. He kept absorbing their powers and they sat back."How do you keep up with you know? Ares."She frowned. "I do
He scoffed moving away from her. "How did this all start? Tell me.""My father Eric Johnstone, an archeologist always went to work, he left me at home and the time he made that video of me with Kujo was the last time he really paid attention to me. He went to work looking for something and my mother tormented me emotionally. She blamed me for things I couldn't even control, that I was the reason why dad neglected her. I was six years old, I was in the middle of it all, I didn't know anything. My mother abused me, I ran away before she got physical.I was in the neighbourhood out at night all alone. Some guys were looking to take advantage of me and there was a man in the shadows. He hurt them before my very eyes and he helped me. He promised that I wouldn't go back to my old life. He trained me and I only got better. I promised that I wouldn't be that clingy little girl anymore.""That's sweet and all but you can't trust him.""The man who took me under his wing. Is that the person
She turned when his shadow enlarged over them. "Ares, you son of a bitch.""Don't talk to me in that language." He turned his silver devil ring."How dare you talk to me that way after what you've done? You lied to me.""You don't understand." Ares said."No, I really do. I'm not a child anymore. You're a criminal, you locked him up without fair trial and I want to know why." She pulled out her sword."It's getting worse. Stay away from these two. They're a liability.""No, you are! Maks helped me open my eyes. Why were you keeping me, why!?""I'm doing this to protect you." He said with difficulty."You can't even say it with a straight face. It's over, the jig is up.""This is for your own good. They can't be in the same room together.""Shut up!" She said swinging her sword and Ares tried to kill Maks who took up the gorilla aura and he rammed him into the bars.Eric was frantic. "Don't hurt her, please! She's coming...don't!" He clutched his head and he cried out in an unholy voic
