He stepped forward and let Zeus speak, deciding how how he wanted to handle this he felt that boldly and confidently would serve him better here, where noble and respectful was a tactic better suited for Ra. He felt these God's as a whole would be closer to the Norse Gods than the Egyptian Gods.
"I felt it prudent to prove my worth before confronting you directly. Like a Greek hero winning the favor of the people before being tested by the Gods. I have won favor from your soldiers and your artisans. Now I seek the favor of the Lords and Ladies of Olympus itself."

Hades would move from his spot as well as Posiedon, the big three as it where. They'd move to stand next to Zeus, who was never in a good mood these days. Posiedon was even still mourning the loss of his son.
"How would you gain favor from us then?"
Asked Posiedon.

He couldn't help but smirk ever so slightly at the question. He felt it was a trick question.
"I have already proven my strength and my wit. I doubt there is one here who would deny that. I do not believe there is a challenge I could name that would win your favor. It would be seen as bias."
He took another step forward.
"So instead I come with a scenario to present, or the willingness to complete your challenges here."
He looked at the big three, and then the rest as well. He meant their challenges, not just those of the big three.
"The choice is yours."

The others are watching as per usual with these kinds of ordeals.
"What is the scenario you have in mind?"
Zeus was curious at this now.

"Since the dropping of the bombs the God's have been restrained to this area. One which you have taken great care to build and maintain. I applaud that effort and wish to replicate it. However that is another subject."
His eyes swept past the Gods before locking on Zeus.
"Your resources are limited, your holdings are small. I plan to lead an assault in to Barker's territory and rip a piece of it from him. One by one until I find my friend. I will try to convince the Dragons to join me, and the Norse have pledged to do battle in my name. At the same time I plan to start trade, but there is a lot of neutral territory where things can go wrong."
He paused to let them register his plan for war on Barker.
"I would rather have you as a trading partner than raiders. And with Barker focused on our attack you would be free to expand your boarders south. A war on multiple fronts he can not win. Especially if we open trade between us. Sharing resources rather than competing for them."

Zeus would contemplate the plan as it where so had all the other gods at this point. Zeus would look to Athena to take her battle strategy into consideration. She would wait a second before responging.
"The strategy is workable."
Zeus would nod and then turn his attention back to Mathew.
"Very well. If thats the route that seems most plausable we can take it. Though remember Dragon. We have lost enough of our brethren to betreyal. Don't play games with us or I'll personally end your story."

"I don't back out on deals I have personally made. But if you are afraid of being betrayed by an outsider. The simplest solution is to make me one of your brethren as well. Is it not?"
Because he wanted one of those thrones.

Posiedon would step forward this time. Considering he had lost the most in this time of war and before to the two five nine kids.
"And you would say you are worthy? Interesting."
Athena seemed to be the most interested in this outcome, as she leaned forward to watch. Hades simply walked back to his throne, and Zeus leaned back to let Posiedon handle things.

"No. I don't think I am worthy. I know I am."
His chin rose up in pride.
"The Green war in New York. One of the best soldiers RoB ever put out. The Earth Dragon. Toppling the pillars of 259. Defeating Seigefried The Dragon Slayer. Winning the titles of Jarl and Pharaoh from your own people. And now, standing before you not as a supplicant, but a man of power. A man of power and the will to use it. Not content to just sit and wait, but always moving forward."
He kept his eyes locked on the God before him.
"I don't think, I know I am your next Aries."

"Fine then. A simple challange. You and me."
Posiedon spoke, but Zeus coughed a bit. Posiedon shifted and scoffed.
"Fine, no powers."

"And the challenge is? Combat?"
Or something else?

"Well since you want to be the new War God, yes, combat."
Dionysus shifted uncomfurtably, being on the recieving end of Posiedons combat tactics back when he helped the old school captain of 259 escape captivity.

"Very well, I accept."
He turned toward Athena.
"If you would be so kind as to hold this for me. It was a gift and I would hate to see it damaged."
He held out the Scepter of Ra for her.
If she took the scepter from him he would face Poseidon and hold up a single finger.
"Since you said no Qi."
And stone would start to come out of his sleeve, sliding down to the ground and coiling itself in the shape of a serpent.
"Any additional rules before we begin?"
He asked digging out a roll of pennies from his pocket. Showing the Gods his weapon of choice before clenching his fist around it.

Athena would hold onto the sceptor for Mathew as it seemed this should be interesting enough. All watched as the armor he hid under his coat came off and solidified on the ground.
"None come to mind, Dragon."
Posiedon would say raising an eye brow to Mathews weapon of choice. Before he'd take an open stance, knee's bent hands spread open like a bear hug.

"Very well."
He said as he looked over his stance of choice. He was the challenger he would strike first. Rushing forward straight at him. He could only guess the God was used to fighting with his power, and his style was probably based around using it. Without his power it would be at least somewhat less effective, or so he hoped.
As he neared he ducked down, spinning to his opponents left, assuming his tactic was to grab him he would hopefully avoid that and be able to slam his elbow in to the back of his ribs. Finishing the turn to slam his barefoot in to the back of the God's kneecap.
