"Dion, I'm so sorry."
"Look on the bright side, at least he died to someone like me," Arsenios said.
"I'll never forgive you," Apollo said, wincing in pain and tears still falling.
"Oh, the youth does scare me," Arsenios said before the black blade almost cut him.
"As I said, you're fighting me now. I'm going to kill you for trampling over that man's death. I'm sorry, Apollo. I said I would help and I still didn't, I'm going to make up for it." Arsen said
"Oh, well that means you're planning to take me down."
"Exactly."

"Nephew! You better stop this nonsense! All we need is for you to die, and we'll stop killing everyone! We swear!"
"I'm already dead! This is the body of my son! If you think you're going to kill my son you've lost your damn mind!"
"Don't worry Boss. I'll just kill him now."
"Thank you."
"Reality Distortion! Sword!"
"Cool technique, however, you don't understand Zoe. At least not like I do. Branding!" Arsen said dashing over and touching Arsenios.
"What's your name kid?"
"Arsenios."
"Wow, we have similar names."
"We do."
"I hate to do something like this. However! Branding Technique; Arm!"
That's when Arsenios arm started to change colors and turn blue.
"What is this?"
"My technique, the branding technique, makes anything I touch into my brand. For example, you're arm there since I didn't touch it for long it's only a shade of blue If I touched it for longer it be the shade of red. Once that happens, your arm is basically my brand forever."
"Interesting. My technique, Reality Distortion is able to use the reality around myself and distort it into whatever I see fit. It's strongest is when I use it for negative energy, since the ability is supposed to be used for items that have a natural bad energy."
"Branding Technique; Arm, Punch!" That's when Arsenios punched himself.
"Don't let me get full control of your body because, at that point, you'll become my puppet."
"I know that!"
"Then stop falling for it!" That's when Arsen dashed by Arsenios and touched his leg.
"That's your leg."
"Reality Distortion! Multiple Arms Gatling!"
"Too slow, and I'll use this against you!" That's when Arsen ran past all his arms and touched them all.
"Reverse!" Arsen said with a smirk as the gatling turned straight back to Arsenios and hit him until Arsenios got rid of the technique.
"You really don't understand, don't you? You're not an issue, you're no longer a concern, you're no longer someone who I'm fearing for, you're no longer someone who has power here. While I'm on Ground 0 no one is going to concern m-" That's when Arsen clutched his stomach.
"Don't tell me you're hurting for using your ability?" Arsenios said with an evil smirk.
"No, it's my son. He's mad, furious, and trying to take over. However, I'm keeping him put."
"Why is your son that strong?"
"No, however, he's going to do more harm than good."
"Reality Distortion! Shurikens!"
"You finally caught on that physical attacks are worthless to me. To be honest I could have made those shurikens hit your eyes since I could have reversed your arm. So I will still be careful."
"The way you're talking... you're talking like you aren't taking this seriously."
"You finally realized! Everyone Zoe in here is a joke. The only one I can say had potential was that kid's brother! I can tell, he just awakened an ability that hasn't been awakened for so long. Ever since him."
"Reality Distortion! Ultimate! First Form; One-Shot!"
"Using ultimates already? Reverse!" That's when Arsenios hand punched him in the gut.
"There, you want to use an Ultimate? Use it on yourself! However, I know you wouldn't do that fully knowing that you can die. You're still alive, but barely aren't you?"
"I- will bea-t you! Bo-s-s to-l-d m-e s-o."
"That's so sweet! You guys do have loyal members! Too bad you brothers can't see eye to eye."
"Shut up Nephew! You're lucky he already fought!"
"Shut up, stranger!"
"Don't call me a stranger! I'm your uncle!"
"Eew, don't call yourself that in the regards of me."
"Rea-lity Di-stortion! Multiple Leg Gatling!"
"Please tell your little pet to stop," Arsen said dodging every attack.
"However, I will say he's getting smarter! He used the body part I didn't touch and multiple of them so it's like using his normal two legs. You got to give that something."
"Sto-p talkin-g down on me!"
"It's sort of hard too when you're trying to hit me and you can't because my detection is on a different level. In fact..." That's when Arsen walked away from Arsenios attacks and walked to Apollo.
"Can you still move, can you move your arm?"
"I- I can."
"Want to get a good hit in?"
"I would."
"Alright then, I'll bring him to you." That's when under a second he had Arsenios on the floor and was unable to attack anyone.
"Go ahead." That's when Apollo took a breather and powered up the Zoe in his body and started to punch down on the man but then stopped his fist right before it hit him.
"I'm sorry, I can't. This isn't the punch of satisfaction I want."
"You've surprised me, Apollo, you have a great sense of justice don't you?"
"Justice? No. I wish."
"No, No you really do. Not a lot of men could do what you just did. For that, I shake my head in approval. I wish we could have hung out, you feel like someone who isn't boring."
"I've been told."
"I- God dammit Son! I get it! I get it! Give me one fucking second!" That's when Arsen looked at Apollo and then cleared his throat.
"I want to thank you, sir! Thanks to you, my son will be able to carry out his job! I know that when I truly leave this world, you can look over him! I heard you also saved my dad, I can't thank you enough! My old man, and my son I care for them. Even if I couldn't be there for either."
"You're welcome, I'm just doing what others have done for me," Apollo said, making Arsen shake his head with a smile on his face.
"So, can I trust you?"
"Don't worry young man. Your family is safe." Arsen smiled then turned into an evil smirk.
"Now where's that bastard?"
"I'm under your foot."
"Oh right... Well whatcha doing under there? There's a new view from all the way up there!" That's when Arsen through Arsenios in the sky and then kicked him down then before he could touch the ground hit him up again and did that for a solid minute everyone watched in awe.
"Now, that you've been beaten down, It's time I finally finish you off now isn't i-" Arsen then clutched his chest and blood started to slip out of his mouth.
"Yo-u-r son? Trying to take over agai-n?" Arsen then wiped it off and started his evil smirk again.
"No, not this time. Looks like I am running out of time! Well, no matter since I'm going to kill you right here and right now! I haven't shown you what I can do with my blade yet, haven't I?" That's when the black blade started to have small flames markings on it and started to glow with fire.
"No, no way!"
"One Sword Style! Hell's Flames!" That's when Arsen started to cut Arsenios in every single direction leaving no room for escape.
"This is the last attack! Goodbye, weakling! One Sword Style! Hell's-" Right before Arsen could finish the job Xdred stepped in front of him and blocked the attack.
"Stop getting in the way!"
"You got in my way!"
"I had too! You're working with him!"
"If you don't believe in a better world then that's on you! Your dumb family shouldn't have butted in, to begin with!" Xdred said, in an angry tone.
"You're in that dumb family!" Arsen said in a shocked one
"No, I'm not! I'm just related to you, not in the family! I'll never be in that family! The Polemos family is the worst family to ever exist! You know it's true!"
"You only hate it because of Grandfather!"
"Yes! I hate him! I hate the fact his stupid blood is flowing through me right now! However, once I get the gateway opened! He promised me I could have his blood and his family. To get rid of my own and to join a new one. The world he promises is a world I did for."
"This is the only time I'll call you Uncle so listen here. Uncle, you siding with him will do nothing for you. You'll still have that white hair, you still will always know that he's your father. Do you want to help him create a new world? Go for it, help him. However! The new world you're hoping to create is one I set down for my son to take apart."
"What!? What are you saying!?"
"The prophecy will be fulfilled! Many before, even myself couldn't complete it. However, my son is remarkable! He will power through with the help of his friends and destroy the world you guys are trying so desperately to create. Z will be the one to bring in the world of peace of prosperity to all those around him. I have faith that he will."
"You'll have to do that over my dead body! Master, will be the one to fix this world! To mend it from its broken state and make a new world! So, if my great nephew wants to try to raise havoc, then I'll kill him, because you'll need my head before I stop!"
"So be it! One Sword Style! Hell's Paradise!" Arsen then cut through Xdred, making him scream in pain and agony.
"I told you to move, didn't I?"
"Who said I was done!?" That's when Arsen got hit straight in the face by Xdred.
"He landed a punch on him. Boss is incredible!" Arsenios said in amazement.
"You let me land that, didn't you?"
"What are you talking about!? I'm here to kill your subordinates and kill you if I have to! Why would I let you get free hits!?"
"Maybe because you're still afraid your son won't be able to take him down like you couldn't!"
"One Sword Style! Hell's Flames!"
"Boss I got your back! Reality Distortion! Ultimate! First Form; One-Shot!"
"You can still move!?" Arsen said as Arsenios punched him with all his might.
"How's that for weak!?" Arsenios said, waiting for Arsen's response, that's when Arsen cracks an evil grin.
"Strong? Well, you must be talking physically and not mentally because you played right into my hands!" That's when Arsenios tried to pull away his hand but he couldn't."
"I learned tricks and techniques you don't even know are real. I've been in the back of my son's mind slowly feeding him this information ever since he was ready to use Zoe. Since then, he's been boiling into one of the strongest men to walk on this earth!"
"What... What!? You didn't take any damage from that!?"
"You're a fool. I wanted you to punch me. I even acted surprised for you to go all the way through with your plan of punching me. Haven't you heard the term, Zoe is both physical and mental? You forgot the mental part and have a weak physical. Don't forget without the fundamentals you're already set up for failure. I guess that doesn't matter, since your death is soon."
"You hurt my Boss! No matter what I will get my revenge."
"Oh please, you're a water down version of me. However, your ability is great. I wish I was my son so I could just ta-"0
"King of the X! Point A! Dreaded Punch!" Xdred said charging at Arsen which he just dodged easily.
"Keep it coming, you two! I'll beat you both! You want to join in over there! Huh!?" Arsen said to Dazin who was watching everything go down. Dazin looked at Arsen as if he was crazy while Xdred and Arsenios both charged Arsen from opposite angles of his body.
"King of the X! Point B! Dreaded Kick!" "Reality Distortion! Triple sword!" That's when Arsen jumped and they both rammed into each other since they didn't want to attack each other.
"Having a good time, boys?" Arsen said, pulling up their heads from the ground to see them bloody and messed up.
"Well, now that you two voiced your opinions loud enough I think it's time I finally end you two now isn't it?" Arsen said, laying them right next to each other.
"You, you're working with them right?" Arsen said to Dazin who was watching everything happen.
"Uh, uh."
"That tells me everything! Best get you in for a triple package, right!?" Arsen said dashing over to Dazin right away hitting him with all he got sending him flying almost off the platform of lava.
"Say, what if I kicked you down there? What do you think we'll happen?" Arsen said to a now terrified Dazin.
"What's a monster like you doing down here!? Why are you trying to stop our plans? Why can't you forfeit in this war?"
"Do you really want to know why?" Arsen said, looking at the man with an evil grin and having his leg slowly kick Dazin towards the lava as he put away his sword.
"Well, do you? Come on, don't be shy!"
"I do! Tell me!"
"Because," Arsen started before his eyes started to glow gold with blue tipped at the end of the gold that was flowing out of his eye. A bone-chilling amount of voices said altogether, picking up Dazin and holding him over the lava
"We are Polemos."
