His menacing gaze set itself upon the strange spider-girl. "I am Ares, I am the God of War! Mountains tumble before my blows, and all soldiers bend the knee at the sound of my call. I command the power of a thousand exploding suns and hold the lives of all of earth in the palm of my mighty hand. You and your god are a speck before me, a footnote in the history of my conquest." Ares shouted in frustrated anger. How dare this insect come within his chambers and threaten his followers with the words of some human book. Now she would suffer the consequences. "Polemos!" Ares yelled as his eyes began to glow crimson. Chike turned towards his master, and their eyes locked. After a moment Chike's eyes became engulfed in the same crimson light as Ares forced his influence over his avatar. Chike felt his mind collapse, and he lost control of all motor functions. Another entity, some alien sentience that Chike had not known existed within him, became the master of Chike's body. This being was a construct of Ares' wrath. He was fury. He was death. He was war. Polemos bent his knees and jumped. The sheer force of his takeoff created a shockwave that threw the crowd onto their backs as he took to the air. In a blinding flash Polemos bull rushed the Spider, his callous hands wrapping around the young girl's throat in an instant. He had given her little time to react as Polemos slammed the drider through the ceiling and the pair took off into the sky. The city rushed by in a blur as Polemos continued to fly at full speed over the city's streets. The demigod spotted his target: Central Station. Polemos continued flying, until he and Archne slammed full bore through the train station. Fire engulfed Central Station as train after train found itself the target of Polemos' rage, slamming Archne into the locomotives and causing numerous explosions. Polemos dragged the Spider along as they broke out of Central Station and continued on their flight. Chike tried his damnedest to slow down, to stop himself. He was going to kill her, and there was nothing Chike could do but watch as his own hands clenched around the creature's throat. The rampage was not yet over. Polemos changed directions as he chose to fly through a line of apartment buildings. Using the arachnid as a makeshift ramming device, Polemos smashed through an entire city block of apartments. He aimed mostly for the lower floors and the load bearing walls; collapsing nine buildings as the two of them flew through Olympia. They briefly crossed Sherman Square, where Polemos and Archne were both able to see the fires that engulfed Lost Haven. Looters occupied the streets, ransacking stores and attacking civilians. Chike felt his heart drop as he watched his new home burning. If only he could control himself. Chike had the power to stop this. He could help! But no, Ares had other plans. Ares wanted his Avatar to kill this Spider for her ignorant challenging of Ares. Olympus would remember this day, Chike thought. Olympus would remember the day Polemos let Lost Haven burn. The fight stopped abruptly outside city hall. Polemos held the girl above his head with a single hand, looking up into her eyes. Was she frightened? Terrified? Perhaps she still had fight left in her. Whatever the case, the entity that now controlled Chike's every action was not yet finished. Polemos slammed the girl into the street and sent asphalt and concrete flying in all directions. Polemos lifted her up once more before tossing the Spider-girl into City Hall. Archne punched through the building's wall and went sliding into the lobby. Polemos followed her after a moment, landing in front of her. [color=aba000]"Tell me your name, Spider, for when I mount your head in the Shrine."[/color] Chike's voice was different. It seem distorted and clouded. Polemos' voice was filled with rage, hate and arrogance as he slammed a bronze boot on the side of the girl's face. [color=aba000]"I could crush you like the bug that you are."[/color] He contemplated at loud. He seemed to think that victory was assured. After all, this girl was nothing to him. Weak and powerless before Polemos' godhood. Ignorance was bliss, for he knew not who he faced. Suddenly a loud bang sounded from behind Polemos. He felt something touch him. Polemos turned around, fury in his red eyes. A group of perhaps five masked men stood inside the hole Polemos had created when he threw his enemy into the Hall. [color=aba000]"Who dares?"[/color] Polemos growled as he stepped off Archne. One of the men pumped his shotgun, ejected a spent shell. The other men brought their guns up and began to open fire on Polemos. "Who is this freak?!" One of them asked as Polemos walked through the gunfire unaffected. "Dunno, but he's in our way! We gotta take out the May-" Their apparent leader's yelling ceased as Polemos rushed forward and grabbed his face. [color=aba000]"You are a gnat."[/color] Polemos spat as he crushed the man's skull with his fingers. Polemos slammed his fist through the chest of another looter, tossing his body hard enough to break one of the other attacker's in half. Fire engulfed Polemos' hand as he melted the remaining looters with little effort. [color=aba000]"I am War."[/color] Polemos spoke in a deadpan as he turned around to look for the Spider again...
