A floor below, Loki tossed his own brand of fireballs at Hercules as the lion of Olympus swung a marble pillar like a baseball bat. Quetzalcoatl fired arrows of mystical force at Ares and Discord as Thor cocked his head at the sounds of thunder from upstairs. He wasn't making those noises. Where were they coming from ?

Without warning, the entire ceiling came down as Discord made a look of fear.

"Oh crap," She had a brief sign of the truth. "She's a god now." She vanished than face the deified wiccan.

Ares ducked from being squashed as his Aztec opponent held his arrow at the ready. Through the dust and debris, Thor noticed one figure pummeling another, heard someone screaming and then the visage of a female immortal flying backward from the blunt end of a hammer.

"Angelique ?" Thor mustered a brief grin of amusement. He realized she must have found the armory of the Valkyrior as she continued pushing off the immortalized Phoenix further and further back into a burning pyre in the next chamber.

"Oh, baby......" Ares grinned a little grin as Angelique struck one more blow. In three seconds, the holy flames had once more reduced Laura to a desiccated husk and her stony heart into a rock.

"You were incredible." Ares smiled as he moved the longer strands of Angelique's gold hair out of her eyes. He obviously wasn't paying attention as she punched him in the gut with her new toy.

"You ever touch me again, and there will never be enough of you to bury !" Her glare was almost war-like itself but vehemently hostile.

Ares doubled up in the fetal position as the heroes looked down on him.
