- Back to the story -

"Mankind's victory... I see..." Loki muttered. He seemed to softly sigh. "I believe that the moment he took himself to the skies... he had already foreseen the conclusion of this round..." The God then had a flashback of Jack using his grappling gun. "Even when it looked as if he was in a dire situation, it was all just a part of his plan..." The God of mischief then flashbacked to Jack getting impaled on the spike of a metal fence. "He carefully calculated his point of impact to make sure it wasn't fatal... selecting just beneath his flank as his target... All in pursuit to make us believe that his aim was acquiring the iron rapier as a weapon, and striking with it." Loki thought back to seeing Jack's rapier slide into his grip from under his sleeve. "However, his true goal was to both discover and sustain an injury that would provide him with the necessary amount of blood.." The God's mind then remembered Jack's gloves covering up his wound, getting blood all over them. "His final choice was to take his life into his own hands..." Loki had then remembered Jack stabbing his hands into Heracles' gut. "Impaling himself on that iron gate... was that man's greatest bluff... It deceived both Heracles, and all of us in a magnificent manner." Loki spoke.

He gently bit at his thumbnail. Hermes seemed to finally walk into the room, just softly lifting his chin. "And yet, it is certainly more easier said than done. If I were in his shoes, a gamble of such stakes would be out of the question..." He spoke, smirking faintly. Loki softly chuckled as he leaned back in his couch. It had tipped over from his force, of course sending him toppling to the floor. Yet, he didn't really seem to care about that, especially when he had his hands behind his head in a carefree manner. "That's just how far he needed to go if he wanted to defeat Heracles..." Hermes looked back at the mischievous God. "Quite a determined man... I see why (Y/n) likes him..." Hermes then looked forward with a faint huff. "Still... he really was a formidable guy..." Loki mumbled. "No..." Ares spoke. Both Loki and Hermes looked back at him. "The one who truly deserves those words... is Heracles! The one who remained unbroken until the end!" The pair then remained quiet. "Until the very last second... he stood tall, facing forward... which is why..." Ares sniffled as he allowed the tears to fully flood down his face. "Which is why..." He tried to say. The male then brushed his tears away, covering his face. "In the name of my dearest friend..." He then glared forward, clenching his fists from beside him. "I shall also face forth." Ares spoke. His tone was firm as his tears had continued to run down his face.

Hermes faintly smiled. "Now... Dear me... We've drifted off topic... Now the score's all tied up..." Loki's and Ares' eyes seemed to wide as Zeus' arm had begun to swell up. He gripped the floor below him, easily causing it to break down. Ares, Loki, and Hermes had easily kept their balance, comfortably falling to the floor. "We must not allow... their lead... Even if (Y/n) themself is our opponent... Our time to strike is near... It's a perfect time since they're not near their prime either... We shall never allow Humanity's lead... at any cost..." Zeus' arm had then swelled back to normal, leading to him faintly panting from the fatigue. Hermes, Ares, and Loki had all went silent. Though, the last God had silently looked back.
