3 The Winds of Terra

--Scott hovered above Zeus and Poseidon, in the storming winds. He was looking down upon them, still holding the jawbreaker sized in his right hand. He held an intense glare towards Zeus as he gripped the food pill.--

Zeus: "The winds of Terra will smite me? Never heard such bold statements from you before. However…"

--Zeus creates a long pause.--

Scott (aggravated): "Tck! However what!?"

Zeus (with a smirk): "Hmph. Your words are empty."

Poseidon (angry): "I have had enough! He needs to pay for wasting our time!"

Zeus: "HE didn't waste our time. You did. He is only a circumstance of your failure."

Poseidon: "Whatever! I'm gonna beat him senseless until every once of life leaves his body!"

Zeus (snaps at Poseidon): "NO YOU'RE NOT!"

Poseidon: "What!?"

-- Another pause was made. Poseidon looked at Zeus with such anger and frustration.--

Zeus (in a stoic manner): "We need him alive. He knows where they went so we need to keep him alive. Besides, I'd rather not start another war. We don't need every god of Terra in the vicinity coming this way."

Hades: "Then Poseidon isn't the only one who failed today then."

--Hades's voice echoed through the air. He instantly teleports, through a quick burst of fire, between Poseidon and Zeus. He had a look of disinterest on his face.--

Hades: "I told you, Zeus. We shouldn't have made a sudden move to come here. This storm is bringing some unwanted attention. One of the snakes reported back that a group of humans in vehicles are heading this way. It also said it saw some figures with high levels of condensed energy within them. We need to return to Olympus."

Poseidon: "Not without Ventus!"

--Scott thinks he could probably escape from the Greek gods, but Zeus never broke eye contact with him. He realized that they were not going to let him leave at all. He decides to put the food pill back in his pocket. He overheard their conversation and realizes that he is in a lot more complex situation now.--

Scott thought: "I can't let anyone else come here. Innocent lives will be endangered and our cover will be blown even more than it already is. I need to take them down now!"

Zeus (to hades): "How far away are they?"

Hades: "About five miles. They will be here in about ten minutes."

Zeus: "Hmph. Very well. Poseidon, do not fail me again."

Poseidon: "Is this what I think brother?"

Zeus: "Yes. You have three minutes. Capture Ventus. I will join you after two minutes pass."

Scott (to himself): "Here we go."

Hades: "You two do as you wish. I am taking my snakes and returning home. I'll be waiting."

--Zeus watches as Hades transports himself to another location. Zeus seemed annoyed but unsurprised by Hades's choices. Both Poseidon and Zeus look up at Scott with grins on their faces.--

Zeus: "Well Ventus, you say the 'Winds of Terra' are going to destroy the seas and skies of Greek, right?"

--Scott grits his teeth in preparation.--

Zeus (To Poseidon): "Go. Do as you wish to him. Just make sure to bring him back alive."

Poseidon (excited) : "Yes. Yes, brother!!"

--As Poseidon said that, he had already launched himself off the ground and was barreling towards Scott. Poseidon was inches away from Scott in mere seconds. Poseidon swings his fist towards Scott's face. As he made contact, he went right through him. Scott's body turned into a gust of wind and quickly shifted himself back to the ground. Scott looks up and takes the opportunity to utilize Poseidon's weakness.--

Scott thought: "He is useless in midair like that!"

-- Scott quickly pushed his arms out in a T-pose. After a sequence of motions, he puts his fist to the ground and quickly moves it from the ground to the sky, as if he were punching it. A burst of pressurized air-launched from around Scott, in the shape of a tube. Like a missile, the air went straight towards Poseidon and he got hit and trapped in the pressurized air. Scott controls the air and repeatedly slams Poseidon into the ground. Scott was about to launch Poseidon towards Zeus's direction, but before he could even attempt that.--

Scott though: "W-What the hell! Why can't I move!"

--Poseidon had slowly turned the air he was trapped into water. He traced it back to Scott and entangled him in a strong stream of water. Scott couldn't move his arms or legs. Poseidon pops his head out of the water.--

Poseidon (mockingly and angrily) "Whew! That was a wild ride. Now it's your turn little man!"

--Poseidon violently pushes that water he was in towards Scott. Scott gets blasted with the water and feels like he is being dragged around by a violent riptide. He tries to escape, but every time he tries, he gets dragged deeper into the water. The water started to become more unified until he was completely submerged into a ball of water. He tried to move but he couldn't, there was so much pressure coming from the water. He could vaguely see Poseidon outside the water. He could hear Poseidon talk to Zeus. Zeus praised Poseidon from catching Scott, especially under two minutes. Scott became desperate and began to struggle some more. Eventually stops and hangs his head in shame."

Scott thought: "I am supposed to be a defender. I became so enthralled by the idea of comfort and now I'm too weak to even protect myself. I can't breathe. I'm losing more strength than I ever did before. Forgive me, everyone, I have failed."

--With the little strength he had left, he tightened his fists and yelled as loud as he could in the water. Bubbles started violently forming and surrounded Scott, some went as quickly as they came. Poseidon became angry and screamed at Scott to be quiet. Zeus stood in front of Poseidon's bubble and began to call upon lighting. Scott was reaching the limit of his breath and in that second he came to a revelation. He pushed his yell further and tried to form as many bubbles as he could. This time all the bubbles stayed and began to expand. Poseidon noticed what he was doing and tried to stop him. He summoned more water from the sky and aimed it at the water bubble. The bubble became larger and it only helped Scott with his plan because adding more water created more bubbles. Scott swallowed some bubbles to get back some air in his lungs. He focuses the bubbles around him and forces himself out of the water prison like an air cannon. He crashes into the ground as the momentum of his escape causes him to roll, tumble, and slide a couple of yards away from Zeus and Poseidon. Poseidon was about to dash after Scott, but Zeus stops him before he does. Scott finally stopped sliding, sprawled, and face down on the ground. He struggles to get off the ground for he felt like he gained a hundred pounds. He repeatedly coughs up water and tries his best to catch his breath. He gets to his hands and knees and starts coughing up more water and some blood too. He looks up to Zeus and Poseidon, his hair hangs over his face, soaked in water.--

Scott thought (grabbing his chest): "Damn...I think I broke some ribs with that escape. I think I dislocated my shoulder too."

Zeus (slowly walking to Scott): "Ventus. Is it really worth this much effort? Stop this pointless resistance."

Scott: "Sorry Zeusy….not gonna happen. I will stand against you until I draw my last breath."

Zeus (stopping halfway to Scott): "Come with me willingly. All will make sense. I have no want to end your life brother Ventus."

Scott (from the ground to kneeling): "Let me explain something to you as a 'brother.' You have left your mark already. The 'legend' of Zeus is over. Accept what has already come to you. Leave these kids out of your twisted ideas. Leave in peace."

Zeus: "You're asking me...to leave. You are in no position to make such demands!"

Scott (slowly gets to his feet): "Even now, you don't listen to reason. That's why we will never follow you. You have done too much. I was willing to forgive you years ago, but even I realized it was a useless effort. Although you may still take this path, on behalf of Terra we forgive you and what you will become."

--In a rage, Zeus flashes to Scott and grabs him by the neck.--

Zeus: "I don't need 'Terra's' forgiveness! I don't need anyone's forgiveness! My legend has never ended! Now you're gonna come with us whether you like it or not!"

Scott (struggling to breathe): "Sorry...Z-Zeusy. Can't go...with ya."

--Zeus growls in frustration.--

Scott: "It's time...for me to say goodbye to this mortal coil."

Zeus: "What!?"

--Using his left hand, Scott blasts Zeus with a powerful stream of wind from his palm. Zeus loses his grip and both him and Scott get separated from each other. Scott lands and slides on his back but recovers to his feet. Zeus was knocked back, but not as far back as Scott and he never stumbled from his feet. Scott goes back into his pocket and retrieves the food pill that he has been holding on to. He was in great pain, but Scott stands tall and faces Zeus and Poseidon. Poseidon walks up next to Zeus and looks at him. Zeus gives an angry approval look to Poseidon. Scott looks at the food pill with a sense of acceptance. He quickly puts it in his mouth and begins quickly chewing. He looks up and sees Zeus and Poseidon ready to pounce on him. --

Zeus: "We have tried it the nice way Ventus. I guess we have to break you in order for you to comply. Poseidon!"

Poseidon: "Yes brother."

Zeus: "We move together now."

Poseidon: "Very Well."

Zeus: "Holding back isn't an option anymore."

Poseidon: "About damn time."

--In that moment, both Poseidon and Zeus's eyes lost their pupils. Zeus's eyes went pure white and Poseidon's eyes went to a light blue. The storm around the three of them grew more violent. Winds swirled, carrying the debris of destroyed parts of the school into the air. Lighting strikes throughout the area and rain begins to profusely fall. Scott finishes chewing the food pill and swallows. He closes his eyes and faces towards the pouring rain. Zeus and Poseidon both vanish at incredible speeds. Scott closes his eyes and takes a deep breath, preparing for what's about to happen. As he exhales, he quickly shifts and puts his arms out in a T-pose, palms out and opens. He focuses on himself so that his surroundings become silent."

Scott thought: "My life long friend, let us become one this final time."

--Scott hears the rush of multiple streams of water surround him and the crack of lighting and the bash of thunder above him. Then, in a crucial second, Scott opens his eyes wide and vanishes in thin air. The ground where he once stood was upheaved as if a bomb had hit it. The grass and dirt were launched to great heights. In the sky, you can hear the storms turn on each other as the winds try to whip the clouds and entangle the lighting as it flashes.--

*Meanwhile in another location*

-- There was a large circular opening covered by what seemed like a glass dome over the opening. The ground was engraved with multiple large and small circles. There was a set of circles that seem to be located at the north, south, east, and west points. In the middle of the floor, there is a person that seems to be in a meditative position, with his arms and legs crossed on the floor. He had short black hair, fairly white skin, and a somewhat large, muscular build. His eyes are closed and keep his back to the exit of the dome. There seems to be only one exit and nothing else under the dome except the stairs that lead to the exit and some pillars at the edges of the dome. At the exit there is another person, he is facing the back of the guy in the middle of the opening. This guy seemed to have stood at a good 5 feet and 6 inches tall. He also had fairly rough, brown skin and had somewhat messy, curly hair. His build consisted of him having somewhat of a stomach, but had a fairly strong upper body. Both guys were wearing red training gi. The guy at the exit leaned in the opening of the exit with his arms crossed, seeming somewhat annoyed.--

Guy at the exit: "Henry! You know we are allowed to be here, right?"

Henry: "...."

Guy at the exit: "Hey! I'm talking to you!"

Henry: "...."

Guy at the exit (echoes through the dome): "HENRY!"

Henry (snorts and slurred): "Guh...huh!! Wha...happen!?"

Guy at the exit: "You bonehead!! You were sleeping!? I thought you were meditating!?"

Henry (holding his head): "Uhhh I was. I just decided to take a nap in the middle of it."

Guy at the exit (echoing): "A NAP!?"

Henry (covers his ear): "Bro David, you need to relax. Meditating can be exhausting."

--Slowly gets to his feet and lets out a loud yawn as he stretches his arms in the air. He turns to David, the guy at the exit, and slowly starts walking towards him, but his demeanor showed that he was still tired. He rubbed his droopy eyes, dragged his feet as he walked, and let out another yawn as he reached the stairs to exit the dome.--

David: "Unbelievable. Why couldn't you sleep in the dorms?"

Henry: "Look at me. Those 'beds' can't hold up someone like me."

David: " Oh please, you're just being a drama queen. You just wanted to get out of today's training."

Henry: "Blasphemy! I would do no such thing."

David: "Yeah, yeah whatever. Let's go before he comes looking for us. I know neither of us wants that."

Henry: "Yeah, I'm coming."

--There are fifteen steps that make up this flight of stairs and Henry begins making his way up to them. As he was halfway up the flight of stairs, a strong high pitched noise made him stop in his tracks. David quickly moved to the top of the staircase and shouted to Henry."

David: "What is that noise!"

Henry: "I don't know!"

--The sound soon promptly stopped and for a brief moment there was silence, but it didn't last long. Both David and Henry felt a pulse come from the ground and a faint sound started to grow louder.--

David: "Did you touch something!?"

Henry: "No, but something is turning on!"

David: "Let's get out of here!"

--Henry ran up the remaining stairs and met up with David. Both started running towards the exit. Before they run through the open to exit, Henry briefly looks back and stops David.--

David: "Ayo yo! Why are we stopping? Let's get out of here."

Henry: "Look!"

-- Both Henry and David saw that parts of the floors had shifted and lifted off the ground, floating in mid-air. It looked like four cones were created by the sequence of rings at the north, south, east, and west points of the floor. The cones began rotating and a bright light grew from each cone. Henry and David look at each other in a brief second and bolt out of the dome. As the lights grew brighter, a diamond-shaped prism began to form. In the lights, you can see the faintness of the coins that the teachers once possessed. Then suddenly, the lights quickly move to the prism and form one large light in the center of it. Slowly, the silhouette of a group of people started to form within the prism. The light grew in intensity as streams of light started breaking through the prism. Soon, the prism began to break and then shattered which sent a shockwave of energy in every direction. The group that escaped from the attack on the school appeared in the center of the floor.--

Mr. Ishi (Exhausted): " Damnit...Scotty. Things didn't have to..end this way."

--Ishi was on his hands and knees with visible anguish in his face. Behind him was the group of students and the other teachers, but everyone seemed to have passed out except for the teachers. Ishi, John, and Katherine were the only ones conscious. Ishi turns his head toward John who was to the left of him. Ishi's anguish turned into rage. While Jon was trying to recover from the transport, Ishi moved to his feet and angrily moved to John. John saw him coming, but didn't react, he had a fairly blank expression on his face as he saw Ishi come towards him. Ishi grabs John by the collar of John and pulled him up from the ground, looking down upon him.--

Mr. Ishi: "You...You had no right!"

John: "Calm yourself, Patrick, your hypocrisy is starting to show again."

Ishi: "Don't patronize me Cicos! I make the decisions here! What you did was-!"

John: "For the safety of the students."

Ishi: "We could have-"

John: "Get a hold of yourself."

--John rips Ishi's hands off of him.--

John (Poking Ishi's chest): "You think we took this role not expecting sacrifice. You think I wanted to hand him over to death! He had accepted the situation before any of us!"

--Ishi hangs his head.--

John: "He will not be forgotten. He is a true guard."

--Ishi, with his eyes welling up with tears, turns away from John, wipes his eyes dry, and looks up with an angry, but determined look on his face.--

Ishi: "You're right John."

Ishi thought: "I can still feel his presence. He must be still fighting. If you have taken the pill Scott, I hope you didn't do this because I was angry with you. Either way, I believe in you. Zeus, Poseidon, get ready. You are about to feel the power that Terra possesses. Give 'em hell Scotty."

--Back to the battle between Scott, Zeus, and Poseidon, it has lasted about 5 minutes since Scott escaped from Poseidon's trap. Scott is in the air, holding two whips, one in each hand. Both looked solid in his hands but were transparent. Also, both had the ambiance winds revolving around the handles up to Scott's forearms. Scott was breathing heavy, hunched over, and had a layer of sweat over him. The ground was far from him, dark clouds, wind, and rain surrounded him to the point that he could barely see the ground below him. Then suddenly, he freezes. Scott's breaths became more frequent and shallow. He gripped his whips tighter and quickly started looking around in front of him with only his eyes. Then, without warning, multiple strikes of lighting started heading towards him. One right in front of him and two coming from the left and the right. He quickly reacts and thrashes his whips to encase himself in a thick layer of winds, but the lightning breaks through his winds and mercilessly strikes him that strike went right through his body. Scott screams in agonizing pain but still stands his ground. One strike went through his right shoulder, another through his left arm, and another through his lower abdomen. Because of the strikes, Scott's whips vanished within the air around him. Zeus appeared in a flash of lighting in front of Scott and looked at him."

Zeus: "It's over now Ventus. Come with us now. This is your last chance."

Scott (heavily breathing): "Clearly….you have already...forgotten. Doesn't matter anyway...it's not gonna happen Zeusy."

-- Scott struggled to, but he clasped his hands together. With a smirk, he looks at Zeus with content and confidence. Zeus points his hand towards Scott with his palm open. The clouds around them grew thicker and darker. Lightning cracked throughout the clouds and grew more and more violent. The rain began to swirl around Scott, but he remained unphased. He slowly closes his eyes and begins mumbling under his breath.--

Zeus (To himself): "You won't stand between me and what is rightfully mine."

--Zeus, in motion, sent a powerful stream of lightning from his hands towards Scott. Even behind Scott, lightning began to emerge from the dark clouds around him. Also, the rain continued to swirl more violently and grew in volume. In the chaos, Scott opened his eyes and everything seemed slow in his eyes. He looks up to the darkness and sees a crack in the wall of clouds. A small beam of sunlight was trying to invade the darkness. Scott smiles at the light in bliss. He looks back down past the lighting in front of him and back at Zeus with a face full of determination. And, as if a sonic had sounded, Scott disappeared and sent Zeus flying towards the ground with a powerful punch to the chin. The lighting attacks collide behind him, sending a pulse of electricity into the clouds around him. Zeus recovers and lands on his feet the moment he was about to hit the ground. As Zeus was about to look back up to Scott to counter-attack, Scott was already face-to-face with him. Scott kicks him in the stomach and pushes Zeus back a couple of feet further. As he struck Zeus, what seems like tentacles made out of water started zipping through the clouds towards Scott. Scott vanishes again as each tentacle tries to ensnare him, but continues to fail. Zeus watches Scott dodge Poseidon's attacks in frustration. In the midst of the chaos, Scott slips on the wet grass he was standing on and was left vulnerable in mid-air for a moment. Zeus raises his hand in reaction to Scott's slip. Quickly, Scott slammed his hands together and Zeus felt a pull from his abdomen. Instantly, Scott and Zeus and Scott switched places and Zeus got entangled in Poseidon's attack. Zeus screams at Poseidon to let him go, but, before Poseidon could react, Scott motioned his arms and hands to control the winds around the area and encased Zeus from the neck down and the tentacles that trapped him. As soon as he did that, he re-summoned one of his whips made of wind. He quickly whips it into the stormy skies. He then, just as quickly, slammed the whip into the ground next to Zeus. Scott had caught both Zeus and Poseidon.--

Poseidon: "AHH!! YOU PIECE OF SHIT!! LET ME GO!!"

--Both Poseidon and Zeus were trying to force themselves out of Scott's traps and in that moment he began to feel the strain being put upon his body. As he tries to keep both Zeus and Poseidon in place, he feels a powerful vibration through his body. That vibration sent a wave of pain through him that almost brought him to his knees.--

Scott thought: "D-Damnit...I really wasn't expecting to feel...this much pain. Ahh, that doesn't matter! I need to end this!"

--Scott uses his determination to try and tighten his grip on both the Greek gods. Then with a sinister look upon his face, he pushes his abilities further. He tightens the grip he has upon the greek gods as tight as he could. Zeus struggles, but looks down at Scott and sees that he is in great physical pain.--

Zeus: "What...have you done to yourself Ventus?"

Scott (breathing heavily): "I took a pill that granted me the power I once had, but...has sentenced me to death the moment I took it. Now you must understand, I won't...be going with you, whether you liked it...or not."

Zeus: "Then why-"

Scott: "Why do I fight as if I will see a tomorrow? You, of all people, should understand. What I don't understand is this course of action. Why do you fight?"

Zeus: "That is none of your concern."

Scott (Losing breath): "Hehe...come on. We are brothers, aren't we? Hehe"

Poseidon: "You are no brother of ours! Look at yourself! Damaged and shaking! Release me so I can put you out of your misery!"

Scott: "Now, calm down Poseidon. It isn't your time to speak yet."

Poseidon: "WHY YOU-"

Scott: "Sorry buddy, sharing time is over!"

--Scott strains his arms and tightens his grip on Poseidon and Zeus. Scott strengthens his stance and increases the case of wind around them both to cover them entirely. Scott did his best to tighten both cases, but at a certain point he couldn't push it any further.--

Scott thought: "Damnit...the effects of the pill are really starting to get worse after every passing second. Ahh! Fuck it! I need to push through this pain! Too many are depending on me! Pain isn't my main concern nor is their plans! I have no more time! I need to stop them here and now!"

--During Scott's thought process, he began building the winds around him. After his thought, he let out a pain-induced yell and tightened his grip upon Zeus and Poseidon as far as he could. Scott dashes at Zeus and Poseidon and grabs both the cases of winds with his bare hands.--

Scott: "IT'S OVER! I'M GIVING YOU EVERYTHING I HAVE!"

--Scott crouched to fly in the air but stops for a brief second after feeling a major pain in both his legs. Poseidon started trying to push out of the case which caused Scott to scream "NO" out loud and launched himself into the stormy skies above while pulling Zeus and Poseidon behind him. As he soared deeper into the storm, cracks in his skin started to form all around Scott's hands and arms. Ignoring the state of his arms, he suspends Zeus and Poseidon in the middle of the storm. Scott took them high enough that the ground was no longer visible, all around them was the wrath of the storm. Scott stares at both of them as he holds them, begins to yell. He gradually increased the volume of his scream and at the height of his yell, he instantly vanishes as his voice reverberates and extends deep into the storm. Both Poseidon and Zeus were trying to escape the wind cases, but before they really could make any progress both Zeus and Poseidon felt a powerful strike, violently launching both of them in opposite directions from each other. They were feeling incredible strikes of wind in all directions. Zeus and Poseidon get launched towards each other, but before they collide into each other, Scott reappears and slams both towards the ground. Zeus and Poseidon feel the impact of both Scott's attack and the ground below them from his stomach to his back. Zeus and Poseidon became pinned to the ground. Scott forces his palms towards the greek gods. The storms began to strengthen behind him. Poseidon violently tries to escape from the ground, but the wind traps keep him and Zeus concealed to the ground. The storms began to intensify and compress behind Scott. The winds howled, screamed, and dense winds ripped out of the clouds and swirled around his body. Poseidon continues to violently attempt to escape the wind trap, but Zeus remains still and stares intensely at Scott. Scott lets out a powerful yell and begins flying straight toward the greek gods. Scott yelled as he barreled towards them. His velocity increased as he yelled while carrying a large, powerful mass of wind around him and behind him. Scott strikes the greek gods with such force that the shockwave affected the immediate area like a category 5 hurricane. A large funnel of wind also was created at the point of impact to piercing a hole in the dark clouds above, revealing sunlight once again. The ground caved in, creating a large crater. The crater was wide but wasn't deep enough that it wasn't difficult to walk from the center of the crater to the outer rim, which Scott attempted to do. As he limped away, Zeus stood, as if he were undamaged. Poseidon stood as well but held his abdomen as it seems he took some damage. Poseidon raised his hand to the back of Scott, about to unleash a vicious attack. Although, Zeus puts his hand in front of Poseidon, indicating to him, not to attack.--

Zeus: "That's enough."

Poseidon: "But brother, he-"

Zeus: "Is no longer able to fight. Besides, time is up. I can sense three energy sources coming our way. The humans will be here any minute and I am sure those energy sources are other gods."

--Scott reached the edge of the crater and turned to face Zeus and Poseidon.--

Scott thought: "Hehehe of course...they both are...still standing."

--Scott feels another wave of sudden pain strike him in his chest. He grabs his chest and hunched over in pain, barely able to stand on his feet and breathing heavily. Zeus starts walking towards Scott. Poseidon watches as Zeus makes his way to him.--

Zeus thought: "I will give you this much, you do have some terrifying power. Too bad it's the one thing that's going to lead to your downfall."

--Zeus starts walking towards Scott and motioned to Poseidon to stand down. As Zeus walks to him, Scott just tries to stand tall in front of him no matter how much pain he felt. His eyes glazed and he was having a lot of issues keeping his eyes open and maintaining focus on Zeus. As Zeus stands in front of him, Scott's sight focuses on him and cracks a smirk.--

Scott: "Hehe...What happened to your friend? You used radiate a bright glow...now all I see is a hollow shell."

Zeus: "Times have changed, Ventus."

--The clouds start to close and to cover the sunlight again. Rain commenced once again, heavily. Scoot hangs his head down but maintains his smile."

Scott: "You never were a good liar...hehe."

Zeus: "None of you will understand."

Scott: "You never gave us the chance…"

--Scott loosely drops his arms and hands limp.--

Scott: "It really is a shame...I won't be able to...see they prove you...wrong…"

--Scott sways as he speaks and collapses on his right side like a tree that has been cut from its roots. As Scott hits the ground, the impact splashes water from the ground to around Zeus's feet. Scott stares blankly at Zeus' feet, taking in shallow breaths. Zeus crouches down and looks at Scott with a face full of pity.--

Zeus: "I had very high respect for the 'Winds of Greek' before they were changed to the 'Winds of Terra.' They were a force to be respected."

--Scott coughs up a couple of times, even coughing up blood.--

Zeus: "But right now, the title of god can no longer be used to describe you."

Scott: "Y-You'll...never find them...they are safe...that's all...that's all that matters."

Zeus (starting with a sigh): "The title of 'God' has become diluted in these times. I pity you, such strength lost to time. Resorting to consumables to get a fraction of that strength back. Ironically, I respect your choice to swallow that pride. Unfortunately, that is a lesson I don't plan to learn any time soon. The glory of the gods will rise again. One day you will understand Ventus, in the other world."

--Zeus stands and looks down at Scott wheezing and taking deep labored breaths.--

Zeus: "Brother! Let us return to Olympus!"

Poseidon: "But-"

Zeus: "There is nothing else here for us! Our mission was a failure."

--Zeus turns his head to look at Poseidon. Poseidon looked into his eyes and, for a moment, he wanted to tell Zeus off. As he was about to speak, he felt Zeus stare get stronger and, before he knew it, Zeus stood right up to him, inches away from his face. Poseidon froze.--

Zeus: "I gave you an order, brother."

Poseidon: "Y-Yes...yes brother."

--From Scott's eyes, as they constantly gain and lose focus, sees a strike where Zeus and Poseidon stood, followed with a loud crash, where they vanished from where they stood. He slowly loses consciousness and whispers to himself. As he whispers, he turns his palm out and the essence of light winds rotated above his palms. A dim light is formed as it appears, he closes his hand and grips the light in his fist.--

Scott (In a whisper): "The oath….has been….followed my friend. May the spirits….guide them...and their minds...be nurtured."

--Scott lets out a long exhale, losing all consciousness. All the winds grew still. On this day, the Winds of Terra were silenced.--
