Like a Wrecking Ball (John/Eve)

[Lucifer]

Evelyn finds herself struggling to keep the ground underfoot as the sinkhole swirls and whatever giant monster prepares to erupt from the ground!

John finds himself flying to the scene having launched himself from a ballista at the Sinkhole where he can see the figure that had been flying was Evelyn, daughter of Ares! 

[John]

Great, Ares daughter was involved, but of course. However, if she was concerned about the whirlpool... Then there were definite problems. He'd land while thudding his hammer into the ground to try and reinforce it to give them extra time.

"Back off!"

John was technically relying on Siegfried or Aphrodite to have the awareness to help if something jumped out, however John would pull back after that getting ready to blast the shit out of whatever came up.

[Evelyn Amtrum]

She liked it better when she was stabbing...whatever it was. She took a step back, focusing on keeping the ground beneath her solid - and Hephaestus, now that he was here. Talk about an entrance.

"It was gunning for the Pyramids." They had to keep it away from there at all cost. She summoned an earthen dagger, ready to strike as needed. She doubted it would stay underground for long.

Earth Blade's of Vengeance: Evelyn is capable of creating earth Dagger constructs combined with her own raw energy constructs that perfectly mimic the look of the blades her and her sister were given. These blades have an attack power of %125 her energy plus her attack stat. These blades are capable of many things. (This ability is used at will at no qi use cost.)

[Mathew Amtrum]

The giant beast broke through the surface with an ear shattering roar that sent the ground rumbling again. Projectiles from the balista fired and pierced into the beast but did not break through the thick hide. The power from the crack surged and they could see a figure falling from the crack before it sealed up, hurtling toward the giant monster before slamming into it, the beast and the figure hitting the ground with an explosion of sand and dirt.

When the dust settled a man sat on the dead carcass of the monster in the same pose of a statue not ten feet away of the same figure in the same pose.

"That it?"

[John]

John was getting ready to use the balista rounds as targets to drive nails into the thing when what seemed like a meteor broke through the crack in the sky. He ducked behind a rock quickly before popping out holding a fireball. When the dust cleared his eye brow furrowed. He knew that face, posture, tone. That mother fucker that transferred from 552 all those years ago and defeated John and Winters along with another.

"Ares? The hell?"

[Evelyn Amtrum]

Eve was focused on keeping the ground stable under them as it continued to rumbled, cursing as the creature broke free. She took cover behind a building that hadn't been turned to rubble, only to have something - someone? - pummel it back into the ground it came from. By landing on it. Coughing, she waved her hand in front of her face to clear away the dust and debris, stepping out and blinking at the sight of the man who sat on the now dead monster.

What?

John's belief echoed on her face as she took in the figure, and the statue behind him. His god title was a dead giveaway, but she'd seen pictures and statues of this man since before she could remember.  And it was weird as hell seeing him with long hair.

"Dad?"

[Mathew Amtrum]

"Oh hey, hammer dude. You're still alive? Guess shit ain't that bad."

He'd say with a grin as he hopped off the dead monster, looking around and at the statue with an approving nod before glancing back at Evelyn and giving her the what's up nod.

"Who's the hottie? New God or something?"

He'd not met her before.

[John]

"So that isn't an effect from your throne. That is your future daughter, the less you know the better in that regard."

He figured explaining it like that would be best. Though this was still the same pompous and arrogant bastard he remembered.

"Not that I'm not grateful for your timely arrival, but what the fuck?"

[Evelyn Amtrum]

"Or something." The sense of relief and caution faded as Mathew acted as though he'd never seen her before in his life. Instead, all she felt was an overwhelming sense of 'oh hell no.' Definitely not the Mathew she knew. Hephaestus seemed to have a decent grip on whatever was going on, which saved her an awkward explanation. It reminded her of whenever she and others had been warped in time. Same rules still applied, she assumed.

"Nice landing, either way." But yes, she wants to know.

[Mathew Amtrum]

He clicked his tongue hearing that she was his daughter. Damn fucking shame, but whatever. She wasn't HIS daughter. But point was taken all the same.

"It's simple. Word from the fates is that you losers let your world get destroyed, and well..."

He'd motion to the wreckage of God territory around him.

"Looks like they were right. The problem is now it's my problem. They came to me and told me that I can come here during a rift and get this shit. Not fight the fucker that did this, because apparently I'll lose that fight. But what I can do is help whip all of your sorry asses into shape so that you can."

He'd flash them both a wicked grin.

"Assuming you can all prove to be worth my time."

[John]

John would almost AUDIBLY roll his eyes as he put his hammer away and folded his arms waiting for Mathew to finish explaining... In the way he used to.

"When we have time for your test, sure. Right now."

John would gesture vaguely at the area around them.

"There are things that need to be sorted."

[Evelyn Amtrum]

It was going to take some getting used to, hearing him explain things like that. It was also the quickest way to confirm she was talking to someone who didn't know her.  Eve stiffened at the comment about being losers, lips pressing into a tight line for a moment before shaking her head and looking towards the Pyramids.

"Tell you what, I'll take you up on that after shit stops falling from the sky and wrecking the place."

[Mathew Amtrum]

"Jeeze. I'm here 20 seconds and kill this big boy. You guys need me to clean up more of your mess?"

He'd snort, so much for the gods that weren't him.

[John]

John was already walking to the pyramid.

"Yeah yeah, we'll get to you, oh great one whose flatulence permits no odor."

[Evelyn Amtrum]

What even was this? Eve was starting to wonder if she was in her own reality, herself.

She shrugged at the taunting, also heading towards the pyramids. It was interesting that Mathew was here from apparently another world or time, but there was time to explore that later. And oh, she would.

"Maybe, maybe not.  Look at it this way: you're here to whip us into shape. We're looking to see what's left to be whipped into shape over." Aside from their lives. So far as she knew, the world had already ended.
