Angelique had thrown herself to the cold stone floor. Her left leg had been seared - burnt by the water being heated to a hundred degrees. It was a burning bright red as she looked briefly up to Laura standing over her.

"What's the matter, Angelique ?" Laura looked down on her. "Burn yourself ? Let me make you better !!" Laura threw another massive fire ball just as Angelique rose on one good leg and dived behind another fountain. What was going on ? How did Laura get to be so powerful ?

"What are you doing ?!!" Ares teleported into the hall and glared back at her. "I told you to capture her ! Not kill her !!!"

"Something I forgot to tell you, Ares...." Laura looked at him. "I don't take orders from anyone !"

Angelique watched as Ares flew over her head, crashed into the wall and fell into a smoldering pile of burnt leather just a few feet from her.

"Let me guess..." she looked at him. "You made her a god ?"

"If you had said yes when I offered it to you," Ares crawled closer to her. "We would not be in this mess with that psychotic witch !!"

He leaped up and threw several lightning bolts as he dodged several fireballs. Without watching, Angelique heard Laura scream as Ares lifted her up and teleported the two of them out of the hall.
