Jade vs Artemis (Amazon)
(It's been a couple of weeks since The world's first meeting With Ark Angel. Since then Erica has been getting hands-on training from Nyssa, Arcee, and her mother. This is to prepare her for when times when she will have to rely on herself. What she doesn't know is that during her training, someone else is watching her with dislike in her eyes. This is Artemis one of the many amazons on Themyscira. Ever since it was found that Diana had a daughter, many of the Amazons were excited to have another sister among their ranks. Artemis however, did not like the notion of someone from man's world coming to Themeyscira. So when Erica was first introduced, everyone's first reaction was to welcome her with open arms and ask her where she had been all this time. To answer their question, Erica had only but to point at Arcee, and say that she was helping in a war. This excited many of the amazons, because to them, that meant that Erica was already proving her heart as a warrior. To Artemis, this meant that Erica must have been a liability in the war since she had no prior training. With a sears help, the amazons were able to see everything that Erica had done to help the Autobots. From storming the deception ship in order to save a friend; to her first encounter with Airachnid and M.E.C.H, and finally, her mission to restore the memories of the Autobot leader Optimus Prime. After watching Erica's life with the Autobots, the amazons were even more surprised when they learned that the armor that appeared on Erica was gifted by the god of the forge himself. This however didn't sit well with Artemis. She saw it as the gods blessing someone, that in her eyes, was not worthy of their blessing. This view had grown even more when she saw her namesake and the goddess Hera openly engage the younger Amazon as a worthy warrior. Before she could question the gods as to why they chose someone with little experience, they vanished in a flash returning to Olympus. Since then Artemis has done what she could to avoid Erica believing her to be unworthy of being called an Amazon and has constantly made it her point when the two cross paths; to calling Erica a pampered child. The two had yet a chance to cross punches with one another until now)
"( Blocks a sword swing from Diana before backflipping over a slip kick sent to her by Nyssa). Woah, that was a close one. ( ducks under a kick from Nyssa before being kicked from her left by Donna and falling on the ground). ok, that one hurt. I guess I still need to work on my surroundings." Said Erica.
" I will say this young one, you are improving far faster than I originally anticipated. Within a few more months and you will be a fine warrior." Said Nyssa. "Why don't we take a break for now Nyssa. My mother would like to discuss something with you." Said Diana as she, Nyssa, and Donna walked away, though Donna had quickly paused to look in a certain direction before following Diana and Nyssa.
" You can come out now Artemis, I know you're there." Said Erica as she watched a woman walk from behind a tree.
( Themyscira: Artemis)
" Why do you train so much, you're just gonna be sent back to the hospital after letting yourself get beaten down. I don't even know why you even try anymore." Said Artemis. " Why in the world do you care anyway. It's not like you've down anything other than mock and irritate me. To be honest I don't even know what I did to deserve your hate." Said Erica.
" How about the fact that the minute you show up and all the gods want to bless you with something. Including my namesake. Add that with all your training and you get a spoiled brat." Said Artemis.
" How am I a spoiled brat when I train just as hard if not harder than everyone else here. Why does it bother you so much that the Goddes of the hunt has blessed me with something? I don't even know what it is yet." Said Erica.
" That makes it all the more infuriating that someone like you would be blessed by almost all of the Olympian Goddesses. For all I know, you could possibly misuse those same gifts for things that they are meant for. As for why I dislike you, the main reason is I can't wrap my head around the fact that a girl from a man's world; is supposed to be our Princesses daughter, is just a mere human, or the fact that you when it comes to you almost all of our laws are thrown out the window. We are supposed to be battled harden yet compassionate warriors and yet you come in and everything shifts. Instead of being brave amazons, we've become warriors that instead of fighting to our last breath to women who just wanna relax and learn about what comes in the next book. You've made into something that we're not." Said Artemis.
" All I've done is help my mother teach Themyscira about the current events in man's world. All I've done is try and help our people evolve." Said Erica. " WE ARE NOT YOUR PEOPLE CHILD! YOU GREW UP IN MAN'S WORLD WITHOUT A FEAR OF DEATH AND CHAOS WHILE WE'VE BEEN BREAD AND TRAINING FOR SITUATIONS LIKE THAT! YOU WILL NEVER BE ONE OF US. NOT UNTIL YOU'VE EXPERIENCED THE KIND OF HARDSHIP THAT WE HAD TO ENDURE BEFORE FINDING THIS ISLAND! Your just a kid playing warrior." Said Artemis as she crosses her arms). You are no true amazon. ( turns around to walk away only to get sent flying into a nearby wall ). Ok then if this is how you wanna settle our little dispute then come on then. Show me why should I should consider you to be one of us brat." Said Artemis as she was tackled by Erica through four buildings.
( Meanwhile with Diana, and Nyssa in the throne room)
" So let me see if I get this straight. You're asking if I want to house my league of assassins on Themiscyra? ( watched Hippolyta nod her head). Don't get me wrong your highness, I am extremely honored by this invitation. However, I can not accept it at this time since your daughter's husband needs all the help he can get with keeping my sister in line. Especially since she has targeted your granddaughter. This brings me to what I have to say next." Said Nyssa.
"And what might that be? Assassin. Though from your tone we will not like what we hear." Said Hippolyta.
" No, you won't your majesty. I have received word that my sister has gained a blood sample of your granddaughter. ( watches and listens to everyone gasp in shock). Not only that but it appears that the same sample she acquired was taken from her by a man in black armor. ( looks at Diana. Someone that I think you are familiar with princess." Said Nyssa.
" Ares, He must have been planning this ever since Jade was brought to Olympus. I only fear what he will use it for. ( feels the ground shake). What was that?" Said Diana until she spots an amazon running into the hallway.
" My queen, princess there is trouble outside. " Said the amazon.
" What is going on outside sister and does it have anything to do with the rumbling we just felt?" Asked Hippolyta. " ( Watches as two women crash through the roof of the throne room to reveal Erica and Artemis as the two stand up before punching each other five times each and before Artemis tackles Erica out of the building).
" Was that Erica... and was she fighting Artemis. Why are they battling in the city?" Asked Diana.
" I think it has something to do with this. ( actives a recorder that was left in the forest after she had left plays a recording of Erica and Artemis's conversation). Of course, Artemis would antagonize her. She's been doing that ever since Erica got here and everyone praising her so much just added to Artemis's fire." Said Arcee as a flash of light appeared showing Athena.
( Goddess Athena)
" Greetings everyone, I am sure you have questions as to why I am here. ( watches them nod their heads). The answer is simple, two members of our council have chosen to allow you to see who has made the young Erica their champion. ( looks at Donna and Hippolyta). Though it seems some of you have already guessed who I speak of. " Said Athena.
" Zeus and Artemis, they as well as yourself have chosen Erica as their champion." Said Donna.
" What makes you say that, Donna? I can understand the wolf and the bird since those are sacred animals of Artemis and Zeus, but how does Athena play into all this." Asked Hippolyta.
" It's simple my queen, during the night when Erica likes to spend her time under the moon's rise while sitting in a tree. She has stated how an owl would always sit on a tree across from her and then leave when she does. I went with her one night to see what she was talking about until I spotted the same owl sitting in a tree above us. ( looks at Athena ). You and Artemis were doing something to her power. That's why she's felt it is easier to control lately. Because you two are regulating it aren't you?" Said Donna.
" You are correct Troy, but we were not just regulating it. We were also using it to help create a new uniform for me. One, far more suited for battles against being of our caliber. Though it seems we must postpone this conversation until the quorum outside is finished. We can not allow you to interfere. Artemis has decided to activate the gift she gave to Erica." Said Athena as she summoned an ethereal image of the battle outside.
( Back with Erica and Artemis)
"( Blocks a punch from Artemis before kicking her thirty feet back before looking at the houses around her and see's how her battle with Artemis is destroying their homes). Oh no, what have we done? ( Immediately turns around only to get kicked by Artemis). Artemis we need to stop this fight right now. Our sisters are getting hurt." Said Erica as she gets punched twelve feet away.
" My sisters, not yours. ( smashes a hole in a building and watches as twelve amazons run out before flying towards Erica). Why don't you head back towards where you were born and raised and let me handle this." Said Artemis.
"(instantly gets back up on her feet to smash some debris that was about to fall on a group of amazons then lifts up a pillar that was blocking their way out of the falling building). GO GET OUT OF HERE NOW! ( watches the group run out of the collapsing building before being forced to let go of the pillar after getting tackled by Artemis).
"Enough Artemis, this fight can be settled later we need to get our sisters to safety. ( feels a different type of energy well within her before spin kicking Artemis away as a bright light envelopes her left hand before instinctively reaching behind her. A silver bow appears in her left hand while three silver arrows appear in her right).
" What is happening to me? ( looks up to see a building start to collapse on a mother and daughter behind Artemis). Oh no, I can't let them get hurt because of me. ( aims the three arrows towards Artemis and watches as the Arrows fly past Artemis, before seeing two of them destroy the collapsing building). That was a close one. ( looks behind her). Is everyone ok, nobody hurt. ( looks towards a woman laying on the ground with a twisted ankle, before running to her. Using that same energy to heal the ankle, she then helps the woman stand back up). There, that should do nicely." Said Erica as she stepped away from the woman.
" ( watches Erica heal the woman with irritation). Though I am thankful she is trying to save my sisters, I can not abide by someone who does not know the limits of their power. ( Summons her ax before throwing it with the flat top facing toward Erica). This will teach you to stay out of amazon affairs and send you back to where you belong. ( throws the ax at Erica not noticing a little girl walking towards Erica.)" said Artemis. " ( Checks everyone to make sure they're okay before hearing someone scream. She immediately turns around to see a giant ax fly at her). That is so, gonna hurt. ( hears someone scream and looks to see a little girl behind her). Oh no, if I move it will hit the little girl. Darn it Artemis, why won't you listen. ( Runs towards the little girl before turning her back to the ax. She takes the hit the center of her back and is sent flying through more buildings and out of the city and into the nearby ocean and hits the water hard). So this is my life, that was going soo well. ( swims to the top of the ocean to see Artemis standing on the shoreline with many other amazons). I guess it's best if I leave while I can, I don't want anyone else to get hurt. " Said Erica as she floats out of the water and into the air.
" ( holds out her right hand behind her to call her ax to her only to hear something wrap around it and looks behind her to see Diana, And Donna as well as Cassie with Donna's lasso wrapped around the ax). Princess Diana, Donna it is a pleasure to see you." Said Artemis only for her to receive a punch to the face by Cassie.
(Wonder woman battle-ready)
( Donna battle-ready)
( Cassie: Wondergirl battle-ready)
" You idiot! Do you have any idea what you have done? ( points to the destroyed houses that Arteimes axed). You've caused more damage and endangered more lives than you've saved. And for what, your dislike of Erica? News flash for you, Artemis, she was just like, if not similar to me. So if you wanna start a fight with someone, then how about you fight the three of us in the arena right now." Said Cassie as she points her sword at Artemis.
" Though we should thank you Artemis had it not been for your stunt, we wouldn't be able to see what gift your namesake gave Erica." Said Athena as she brought up a quick aetherial video of when Erica had summoned the silver bow and arrows. She had also summoned two silver short swords that rested on both sides of her hips, while a silver quiver appeared on her back.
" ( looks towards Erica). Are you okay hunny, you're not too hurt, are you? ( Watches her turn around and hears everyone gasp in shock before seeing a large gash on her back). Wait Erica don't go, let us heal you." Said Diana. "
" Please Erica, there is no need for you to leave, just let us heal you. I don't want to see my niece in pain like that nor do I wanna see you leave. ( Watches Erica fly away as Arcee runs by before flying after Erica). WAIT, ERICA COME BACK." yelled Donna as she watched Erica and Arcee fly off. " ERICA WE CAN FIX THIS JUST COME BACK PLEASE. ( Feels a hand on her right shoulder and looks back towards her mother. She watches her shake her head no before looking at Artemis).
"Artemis, since you are the one that caused this whole thing you will be put in a cell until you can think about what you have done. ( watches two amazon guards grab Artemis by her arms and take her away). Also, tomorrow you will face me, Donna, and Cassie in the arena tomorrow. Since you wanted to start a battle so badly then you will be put in a three-on-one no-rules match." Said Diana.
" Don't even think about trying to put this on my granddaughter. ( holds up the voice recording of Artemis's conversation with Erica). Next time you wanna start something as trivial as a city-wide brawl don't, especially if it will endanger your sisters. ( looks toward Donna and Cassie). please, go find my granddaughter and keep her safe. Diana and I have to help our sisters rebuild and fix this mess." Said Hippolyta as she watched The guards Take Artemis away and Donna and Cassie fly off in the same direction as Erica and Arcee before walking over to assist Diana and her people.
