Landon had fallen half asleep as Aforgomon entered. He managed to successfully shut out the world, but it would only last a moment. As Landon woke up he sensed the presence of Aforgomon again. Not having been able to see him before he just took in the feel that Aforgomon gave off. It felt different now though. Before an endless power backed by curiosity strode about, almost as interested in the Merged as the Merged were in the humans. Now there was hatred behind it. It mirrored how Landon felt when he was invaded during the beginning of the month. He hated the humans then and gave them no mercy at the time. There was even more to him as well, death lurked about like a foreign obscenity to the aura. Landon opened his eyes to try and catch sight of the thing this time, wondering what was wrong with it. His first sight was something very different though.
He opened his eyes to see a fireball falling straight for him. He quickly created a shield with his good arm and formed his other. The fireball felt like it had substance behind it, like being hit by the sun. It quickly melted his shield and fizzled out leaving nothing behind though. He stood up and looked around quickly and saw he was in the eye of a red maelstrom. Occasionally pieces of the red ventured close enough to the center to cut him. It was like liquid blades had surrounded him. He hardened his body in response to his new predicaments. Another sunblast came at him and he stopped it fine with his prosthetic. What he wasn't expecting was the two goddesses that were right behind it. Sekhmet and Freya came crashing down on him as the orb fizzled out. Freya's sword knicked his shoulder as she pinned him to the ground, and Sekhmet cut off his prosthetic at the wrist. Landon took in the shock of the blow for a moment only to be shocked that it was two beautiful goddesses that had assaulted him. The scantily clad goddess Freya was using her body to keep Landon pinned while the similarly scant lion goddess Sekhmet was attempting to cut off his limbs. This is definitely someones fantasy, maybe not the killing intent though. Landon managed to barely shift his legs from underneath Freya to avoid Sehkmet's wild swings. Soon Sehkmet stopped trying for his appendages and lodged her hatchet in the side of his thigh. With a furious roar Landon was done with this game.
He reformed his prosthetic with extra reach and knocked Sekhmet back with a clean blow to her snout. He next grabbed both of Freya's wrists and wrenched her grip free of him and the sword. Half of the blade had pierced his shoulder and lodged into the ground making it difficult for him to move left or right. He slowly sat straight up pulling the sword out of his shoulder and pushing against Freya's wrists to get her off of him. As Sekhmet came back at him, he shoved Freya to into Sekhmet and rolled back towards the sword. He stood up and removed the runic sword from the ground. Sekhmet threw a smaller quicker sun orb, as Freya ran at Landon. He easily stopped the orb with his prosthetic and swung the sword up at Freya as she came at him unarmed. Freya jumped back as Landon was just short of cutting her up the middle of her body. They were done underestimating each other.
Landon could feel the power of the sword coursing through him. Freya's maelstrom was weakening considerably. This must be a primary source of her power. Landon created a storm of his own to counter Freya's. Blood clashed with hail in a storm who's winds seemed to attack each other while they blew both ways creating even more fury. Freya summoned a spear in replacement to her lost sword. Her and Sekhmet put distance between themselves to surround him. As Sekhmet began launching sun orbs at him Freya rushed him from the side. He stopped the orbs with his prosthetic and lept back from them to put Freya in the line of fire. He barely managed to block and avoid Freya's attacks until the sunblasts stopped. His back was up against the wall of the storm now. He held his ground as Freya pushed him to his limit. Her fighting skills significantly outmatched his own, and if she had her sword he would have been gone by now. He needed to do something now though or else the approaching Sekhmet would end him. As he parried the next attack with his prosthetic he shot a blast of encaspulated darkness at Freya. She blocked the ice, making it shatter and explode in her face. She jumped back and was next to Sekhmet in the center of the ring. The blast had frostbitten her shoulder and part of her face. Landon launched a similar attack, but this time while he slashed, throwing an arc at the both of them. Freya dodged her half while Sekhmet diffused her's with a burst of light. He continued to unleash a barrage of the arcs at the two pushing them backwards. He was very lucky Freya lost her sword in the initial ambush. If they had merely dueled him, he certainly would have died.
He pushed them back to the deadly maelstrom and continued his barrage. Freya subsided her torrent of blood, leaving only the hail storm. As Sekhmet and Freya tried to rush through and exit the storm, Landon placed his prosthetic to the ground and created a wall on the outside of the storm. He extended the wall in a half circle around the storm. He also made a wall on the inside of the storm to trap them inside of the storm itself. Landon concentrated and used his strength to keep the tunnel up and intensify the storm. The sword empowered him and the ice and hail shredded at the goddesses. He also added the darkness to the hail, causing bursts of frostbite as they made contact with the goddesses. Freya managed to stumble out of the storm tunnel cut, bruised and half frozen only to have Landon thrust her sword through her back and into her heart. He removed it from her as she collapsed, like a limp doll, onto the ground. The storm subsided and the walls crumbled to reveal a disfigured and torn Sekhmet, frozen in place.
Landon's prosthetic collapsed and he stumbled away from the goddesses. He searched for the source of the hatred and death and noticed it was coming from the direction of the portal. He noticed the other gods engaged in their own fights as he stumbled towards the portal. As the other end of the portal came into sight he felt another anger as well. He barely managed to catch sight of Cia's eyes, full of rage, as sight was cut off by earth engulfing what must have been the original monster.
