"And since when was he more disciplined than us?" Charlie said to John as he indicated himself and Albert. Atlas kids were highly disciplined, just because he picked fights with the demigods didn't mean that he lacked discipline, he chooses his fights. he then noticed Adrian's glare and glared back daring the child of Ares to cross him.

---

Albert sighed, it looked like another argument was brewing and that wouldn't get their quest going any faster.

IC: "At least Austin isn't fighting with everyone else here." Alexandra sighed and held the bridge of her nose.

OOC: Tabitha sooooon.

Austin let out a small sigh. These Greek and Egyptians... They are nightmares. He didn't answer, knowing it wouldn't help the situation at all. His arms folded across his chest, pressing his SPOR insignia against his chest. If only there were more Romans here and this quest might have gone smoothly.

Adrian narrowed his eyes at the glare, where he stepped forward, towards him slightly. His hand found his sword again, ignoring the fact that he previously just got out of a fight with Alexandra. His body was tense, ready to attack Charlie.

Charlie saw the kid advance and he gripped the hilt of Crusher and was prepared to unsheathe the blade if the demigod tried anything. he was a little tired from fighting Michael but if he needed to defend himself then he would. luckily Atlas had great stamina on their side so taking short breaks from fighting could really help replenish his strength. he kept his firmly on Adrian and waiting for him to make a move.

"A little more aggression from any of you, and we will lose our patience," Michael said sternly as Sobek spoke along with him.

"Just take a moment to realize the irony of this all. You are all talking about discipline, and yet you can't even make decisions as simple as deciding whose walking in first?! Pitiful. Screw you guys."

And with that, Michael picked up his staff, shoved on past both of them, and began heading into the entrance of the Labyrinth himself...

"Hey I'm not fighting either." Alec said looking at the girl who had made the statement. Then she turned silently and followed Michael into the Labyrinth.

IC: Tabitha was about to follow the others when words from the past echoed in her ears.

Died.

A younger Tabitha pulled a wounded man out of a burning car, not noticing how abnormally light he was.

The older Tabitha shuddered and fell to the ground, a nearby evil pounding into her ears, into her skull, into the base of her mind, her back starting to ache, her entire body wracked in pain. Her blade glowed brighter-

Yesterday.

He smiled and thanked her, not even flinching when the other man touched his shoulder.

Something looked like it was crawling under the skin of Tabitha's back, trying to burst out, the daughter of Hades biting her lip so hard that blood was running down her chin, that presence pounding, pounding, pounding-

Morning.

A wink and they were gone, the midnight feather falling, falling into her.

A massive tearing sound and a shriek of pain, the back of her shirt punctured by two pitch black wings, spreading wide and drying in the air, the uninjured part of the shirt turning red with blood before the wounds healed over, the presence dying away, acting wary.

Charlie gave a glare at Michael, just heading off into the labyrinth by himself was a special kind of stupid, in the demi-titan's mind. but he took his hand off his sword hilt and turned away from Adrian to head into the tunnel. as he passed by Michael to take the lead, he said "please remind me again how many times your culture has been owned in history? let's see, first there's the Hittites, then there was the Persians, the Greeks, the Romans and finally the Arabs, I don't see how much of a threat a god from culture that easily conquered could pose much of a threat."

he knew that he was being insulting but he'd had enough of the Egyptians and their arrogance in the idea that they knew better than the Greeks. he may have hated the demigods but at least they had some relations and weren't different.

---

Albert followed the others into the Labyrinth and was ready help with making sure that they had light in the tunnel.

"Since i am the son of Hyperion I can make it brighter in here if you guys need it" he said to them.

"If I could find a small patch of sunlight I can bend the sunlight to follow us." Alec said as she walked

"And your supposedly powerful parents were defeated by their 'inferior' children, and then again by mere mortals. Everything falls, few things in this world remain the same. Deities, kingdoms, and empires are no exception to the end. At least for Egypt, it was able to endure and come back from all those times it was conquered. Rome fell by its size and barbaric tribes, and Greece was partially assimilated into Rome when it too was conquered. Now, mind your tongue, or do I need to kick your ass again?"

Michael pushed Charlie aside with his right arm and began to tap into Sobek's senses. Since the crocodile god could see into the Duat, it would give him a better chance of navigating this maze. Another thing was Sobek's ability to detect other divine creatures, and though there were certainly different creatures here... he was focused on a particular type of energy.

"Please, don't flatter yourself, it makes it more likely for you to get your ass kicked. also in the " Charlie said, and then when he was pushed aside, he glared at the Egyptian. how much of an ego did these Egyptians have? they kept on with the superiority attitude.

Charlie then pushed Michael aside and said in an angry tone, "if you push me one more time I'll really go all the way in a fight!"

---

"that will not be as useful once we go deeper into the labyrinth where the sun won't shine in, my powers will still work" Albert said, ignoring the potential fight building up between Charlie and Michael, his friend could handle himself. Albert made his body begin to glow which illuminated the inside of the labyrinth, showing off more of the stone passageway's details.

Michael slightly snapped inside, gripping Charlie's neck in a crushing hold that threatened to crush his windpipe if he held on any tighter. He growled, eyes taking on the golden and reptilian design of Sobek's.

"I'm just about done with your pathetic attitude, demititan. It would suggest you are displeased with my attitude of superiority, but you're too blind and stupid to realize you are just as arrogant as I am with all that bullshit talk on how great you and your subjugated family and brethern can be. You are nothing, and it would do you well to remember your place."

The host of Sobek released him and shoved him backwards, making him bump into a glowing crocodile head that he had formed behind him, ready to snap.

"You've no idea how easily I could just end you, even with all your skills and abilities. One more arrogant word out of your pathetic mouth, one more scrap of false, superior behavior towards me, and you'll quickly learn I really have no problem on reducing you to more pieces than your uncle Kronos."

With a sigh Myra stepped forward, looking over Micheal and growling as she pulled him off of the ignorant demi-titan. Holding him in a choke-hold she pulled him out of the situation and shook her head. "Micheal, don't. This has gotten tiring. If you want to fight someone fight me."

Michael released himself from the choke hold and held Myra at an arm's distance. He really didn't want to fight anyone anymore, but if everyone was going to be as uncooperative, arrogant, and blind as Charlie, he would gladly prepare Sobek a full course meal from their broken remains. For the greater good if anything, because the arguing and conflict in this group was so intense early on there was possibly no way to advance without falling apart at the slightest thing.

"Myra just.... just try and keep things under control...."

"You are the one that needs to be under control, Sobek has gotten to you Micheal, and since you seem unwilling every time we talk I will not try to fix you." Myra hissed, if he wouldn't listen that was fine. But she would keep arguing with him until the sense knocked him to his feet. His arguments were the same but so were hers, it was just an all out pissing contest between them but it was one she would continue with.

Charlie was taken by surprise when Michael put into a choke hold that made him almost suffocate and threw him away, thankfully his stamina helped keep him from losing much energy. The Egyptian's words had pushed Charlie over the edge and the moment he got back to his feet, he charged the Egyptian. ran right past Myra, not taking much notice of her and using his superhuman strength, he punched Michael hard to send the host of Sobek flying.

"Alright jackass, no more games! come on!" Charlie snarled as his eyes turned a fierce red which was a symptom that Atlas kids got when they became angered enough. if it was a real fight the Egyptian wanted than it was a real fight that he would get.

---

Albert saw the commotion and then watched Charlie punch the egyptian with a good amount of his incredible strength. he cursed, "awe shit! here we go again"

if their fight continued then he would have interfere and help end it. they were in the labyrinth and if super-powered fight broke then there would be a risk of the place collapsing and burring them all.

Michael grunted as he was hit and sent flying, slamming hard against one of the walls of the Labyrinth. He clutched his chest in pain, but Sobek's empowerment allowed him to endure the strike and recover quicker than normal. He pointed his staff at Charlie and bgean to cast magic.

"One strike, you're dead," Michael spat as the jaws of a crocodile formed above Charlie's head in the perfect position to snap shut and decapitate. It quickly dissipated though.

"Another strike, you're immobile," Michael said again as the same construct appear at Charlie's feet and threaten to snap them off.

"And with enough focus," Sobek growled as the earth quaked and produced an even larger version of the construct underneath Charlie, threatening to swallow him whole before disappearing again.

"I've already proven to be able to match and even surpass you, moreso while using my true abilities."

Michael then stood in a casual position before walking on past the demititan, heading deeper into the Labyrinth.

"Normally I would have expected us to show respect to each other as warriors after our battle, mainly as an act of honor and maturity. I see now you are below such things, and therefore will not waste my time fighting someone who brings dishonor to their father as a warrior. Now begone, child."

With a tilted head and a glum expression Myra looked towards Charlie and gave him a respective nod, walking forward she smiled and put a hand out. "Charlie? Are you OK? I'm sure you would've put up a great fight. Trust me, his talk is bigger then the jaws of any crocodile. So don't think you are inferior. I respect the Titans as much as any other, they are meant to be worshiped like others. I do believe they were just pushed down so gods could use them as a stepping stool. My gods included."

She soon put a hand on his shoulder, it was a symbol of comfort of course. "I wish I could make him apologize." Taking her hand off she left him alone and slightly separated from the group, carrying on with the labyrinth.

Michael clenched his fists at Myra's words. Typical of her, just like the rest of the "true Egyptian magicians": Doubting his abilities, believing his talk to be nothing more than just that, talk. Was she as stupid as the rest to not realize he was Sobek's host for a reason?!

*And that is why you must forget your former friendship with her... she means little to you now...*

Charlie saw the beast appear about him and he spat in the Egyptians direction, "you're not more powerful than me, i've seen better power from a hellhound than this crap. i have taken blows from giants and all sorts of beasts and have still kept on fighting until they are beaten! you think some pathetic piece of magic can kill me? my senses can make me easily avoid these foul apparitions. you dishonor yourself by claiming superiority over me and I say I am done with you and your pathetic god, I could crush you if i wanted to too. you can try your magic if you want and see what happens, I always wanted to know what happens when i use Titanic Energy directed right at the head"

he then heard Myra's words and smiled, "I guessed that, I don't normally talk about my power unless for people this crocodile brain says crap, it is smarter to let you opponents find how strong you are when it really matters"

he crossed his arms and walked next to Albert, saying "Titans i hate these Egyptians claims of superiority"

"Well you did do some provocation" Albert replied.

"So, he tried choking me which proves that they are twisted and cruel" Charlie said angrily

"still try not provoking them, we are in a confined area and a fight could cause this place to cave in and we'd all be buried"

"okay fine, I'll try to not start crushing these assholes, but once this quest is over and they still are talking shit about us like they're gods then I don't want hear any complaints from you when I beat them into the dirt" Charlie said firmly.

"whatever" Albert responded and decided to take the lead since he was basically the group's flashlight.
