Feels weird that Athena and Ares' cosmic duel will be taking place in the past..
@Facepunch Oh, this is going to be an actual fight between the two? I figured they would drop Polemos in front of him and give him a stern 'don't pull this shit again, or we're coming for you'.
Man, that night just keeps getting more eventful.
@Dedonus Yes, dropping rocks on the god of war will totally work. Just like shooting Umbraxis worked to stop him from eating a police station.
Shield-breaker Ares started it, attacking 470
Athena first with his bronze spear and taunting her:
“You dog fly, why is it you’re once again
inciting gods to fight each other,
heart prompted by your own foolhardiness?
Don’t you recall the moment you provoked
Diomedes, Tydeus’ son, to wound me?
We all saw it—you grabbed his spear yourself
and drove it at me, scratching my fair skin.
Well, now I think you’ll pay for all you’ve done.”
Saying this, Ares struck Athena’s tasselled aegis, 480
that fearful aegis which not even Zeus’ lightning
can overcome. Bloodstained Ares’ long spear struck it.
Drawing back, Athena picked up in her strong hand
a large, black, jagged rock, lying there on the plain.
In earlier ages men had set it there to indicate
the boundary of a field. With this rock Athena
struck raging Ares in the neck. His legs collapsed.
Ares fell. Stretched out he covered seven hundred feet.
His hair was dirtied with the dust. His armour rang.
Pallas Athena laughed, then cried in boastful triumph— 490
her words had wings:
“You fool, still so ignorant
of how much stronger I can claim to be
than you, when you seek to match my power.
This is the way you’ll answer now in full
your mother’s vengeful rage. She’s angry,
planning nasty things for you, since you left
Achaeans to support the arrogant Trojans.”
So, by your reasoning, the police should have stopped Umbraxis.

Umbraxis: "I'm sorry, but scraps of metal stopping me is ridiculous. If you'd like, I can provide another demonstration of that little failed attempt."
Athena: "Do you challenge a goddess? Not even the lightning of Zeus can harm the mighty Aegis! This planet is under my protection. If you meddle with human affairs, be warned. The wrath of the goddess is not easily born."
<Snipped quote by Dedonus>
Umbraxis: "That's cute, did you rehearse that speech or was that an off-the-cuff remark? Nevertheless I am entertained by such an offer. Perhaps I the void will consumer another god today...or several."
Don't make me put you wannabe deities in time out...

Racheli: "This, folks, is why you don't put two wannabes together in the same air space. Everyone's got to get their fucking measuring sticks out and see who's bigger."
Me: "It sounds more like a relationship in those tv shows where the two characters just need to get a room...Almost."
Racheli: *rolls her eyes* "Damn, I hope not. Else this will turn into one of those corny, sappy soap operas."

But...Athena is a virgin goddess...

Is she now?? High time someone fixed that, who better than -
Eva "I thought you were typing up my next post, not boasting about your special skills."
Right, well I guess that's my queue better buckle down.
<Snipped quote by Dedonus>
Well, depends on your definition of virgin. I recall another player who played Athena actually going into depth what she believed it was meaning in greek myth and it never meant she didn't know her way around a man. :p Though it was preguildfall so I've long forgotten it. XD
