"Cupid!" I rejoiced as I hugged her. (In this story Cupid is a girl) "Please Ella no need to be so formal just call me mom." My mom laughed as I sat down on the pink nimbus cloud.

"What did you want to talk about?" I asked. "Well Ella, do you remember anything before the age of seven?" She asked as I shook my head. "Okay... um... how do I word this?" she sighed.

"Well Ella, this was you home for the first seven years of your life. Then we brought you to the geishas because the Veazanee came. There are lot more to explain." She started.

Meanwhile with Carly!

Carly walked down the dark tunnel knocking down everyone in her path. She didn't care how many people she killed. The only death that mattered to her was Hades. She wanted to see him bleed for what he did to Kami.

Suddenly a loud scream snapped Carly out her thoughts. Not just any scream. It was Kami's.

Carly ran as fast as she could towards the voice. All that went through her mind was the degree of which she was gonna stab Hades. She could see Hades in the distance.

"YOU!!" Carly yelled in anger she was about to stab Hades but something stopped her. She looked around to see there was a blue mist around her making her stop in her tracks.

"Carly!" Kami rejoiced. "Well look the cute little girl couple here." He smirked as I unfreeze dropping to the floor. Carly slowly drew the long katana from her belt slowly, the blade made a hissing whisper as it was removed from the sheathe. All the while, Carly was holding Hades firmly in her gaze.

"Don't hold back or I'll break you." Carly snarled at Hades.

Carly rushed at Hades. She dipped and waved right as she was about to reach him and slashed downwards with the katana. Hades parried with one of his gauntlets and the blade clashed against the metal strapped to Hades arms with a shriek that sent sparks flying into the air.

Carly was quick and uppercut slashed at the god of death, attempting to catch Hades from stem all the way to stern. Hades side stepped yo the right just enough for the blade to pass a hair's breadth from his face.

Quickly, before Carly could respond with a follow-up, Hades swiftly punched Carly in the solar plexus, knocking the wind out of her, and stunning her for a brief moment.

The fight had taken Carly and Hades dangerously close to the edge of the arena and Carly had his back almost to the wall, despite his counter offensive.

Hades was still open for more attacks though and Carly was not done. The quick blow had opened Hades up for another attack and Carly obliged him, putting a simple sidekick into the swordsman's stomach, doubling him over. Carly followed that up with a quick rising uppercut.

Taking the opening and using the environment to his advantage, back flipped onto the wall and pushed off towards Hades. The maneuver sent him front flipping towards Hades and just before he reached the swordsman,

Carly flattened his body out, feet first. Instead of colliding with his adversary though, Carly opted to wrap his feet around Hades's neck instead.

The maneuver caught Hades off guard as he was recovering his wits, once again.

Carly gave him an apologetic shrug, mid air. As if to say, "sorry" for what was going to come next.

Carly used his momentum in a creative, instead of piling into his opponent; instead, he jerked to the right and swung around Hades.

Then, when he was directly behind his opponent, Carly curled his legs into his body and angled his body towards the ground, changing the direction of his fall, putting the weight of his jump into a powerful throw.

Hades was pulled off his feet violently and was thrown across the floor. He skidded and tumbled along the ground, uncontrolled.

He was stopped by the other end of the dance floor, about five feet from the wall at the back of the dance floor.. A groan escaped his lips as the pain from the attack started setting in. Hades looked up and his eyes opened with surprise.

As Carly was about to let go of Hades, during the throw, he had planted both hands on the ground. When he completed the attack, Carly sprang off his hands, throwing himself into a quick back spring, followed by another, another, and another to build momentum.

When Carly was almost to Hades, Carly bounded off the ground and threw himself into a spin that would have made an expert gymnast jealous.

Flattening out in the air like a sideways whirling tornado, so that his body was perpendicular with Hades as he neared the fallen swordsman,

Carly's spin got increasingly fast as he whipped his arms in and out, efficiently putting Carly into an almost uncontrollable rotation, arced at Hades.

Just as Carly was about to reach Hades, the warrior threw one of his legs out, shin angled down. The entire force from the spin was pushed into his leg.

Hades barely had time to breath, let alone dodge. But, it was a testament to his experience in battle that Hades kept the presence of mind to roll to the right in a desperate dodge, towards the wall.

Carly's leg smashed into the ground, slamming into the ground with his knee and shin flat into the wood, crushing the floor into a torrent of splinters that rose up around him in the air.

Seeing Hades dodge, most warriors would have allowed their opponent to stand up. That was the honorable thing to do. But, there are no rules in a bar fight.

With the speed of a cat, while the splinters were still hanging mid air, Carly spun his body around and swept his foot towards his opponents head.

The attack was so quick that Hades wasn't hurt; it actually pushed the assassin a foot and a half into the air.
Hades was curious, why had that not hurt?

That was Carly's intention. Swiftly, Carly rolled forward and halfway through, slid straight, so that he slid under Hades and stopped facing the rising assassin's back.

Carly cocked both arms back and double punched upwards into Hades back. Air whooshed from Hades lungs as he was pushed even higher into the air. The impact from the attack gave Carly a couple feet between her and Hades.

"This is going to hurt you, just as much as it is going to hurt me." Carly promised Hades with a forewarned wince.

Carly quickly performed a handspring to his feet, crouched just under Hades with his legs coiled underneath him. Carly exploded from the ground towards Hades rising form.

She grabbed the god of death around the waist, twisted mid air, and arched the two of them towards the wall, easily angling Hades head first, towards the raised lip of the dance floor.

Hades collided with the raised floor and his head plowed through the woodwork with a painful cracking and crunching sound as the wood shattered under the enormous pressure from the attack.

Carly let go and managed to aim herself towards the level below. She landed with ease and rolled to his feet. Then, Carly looked back at the god of death and a look of brief sadness flashed across his face.

Hades body hung vertical for the briefest moment, suspended in an ephemeral moment in time, then he collapsed, head still firmly stuck into the ground.

The rest of him hit the ground in an uncomfortable position, but Hades was still breathing. Carly the walked up to Hades and stabbed him in the heart. "This is what you her for hurting my Kami." Carly scolded.

She then ran over to Kami and picked her up. She was all bruised up and bleeding from everywhere. "Carly? Is that you? Did you just kill a god and used my Katana do do it?" Kami asked, her voice as dry.

"Yeah we're gonna be okay." Carly answered suddenly there was a light that came from the top of the underground passageway. "Carly?" Hawkgirl asked. "Hawkgirl!" Carly rejoiced as as Hawkgirl pulled them up.

"You killed the god of death... yep that's not something you see everyday." Hawkgirl laughed as they flew up to Mt Olympus. "Yeah it really isn't." Carly agreed suddenly Liam tackled her.

"Carly! You scared the crap out of me! I thought you can Kami we're dead!" Liam hugged her tightly. "We're fine cuz. I kinda need to breathe and Kami needs medical attention so can you let me go!" Carly asked breathlessly.

"Right!" Hawkgirl said as she pulled out a beaker with a plus substance in it and poured it over Kami's wounds making them disappear as a result Kami woke up.

"What happened?" Kami asked. "I'll explain it to you later. Kihone wants to talk to you so get going." Hawkgirl ordered as the four of them walked off.
