Flight of the Griffen
( It has been a couple of weeks since the previous battle and the short but sweet reunion between Alena and team Prime. Since then, Arcee has been keeping in touch with Alena whenever she can. Currently, Alena is speaking to Artemis and Hestia about the outfit that they gave her. While Diana was coordinating their next attack against the rising monster population)
" Last time we brought up this outfit, you told me that it would keep me hidden from those around me. While also allowing me to move silently. So why do I feel like there is something more to this outfit, primarily the jacket? Though now I'm starting to wonder if your power to mask me as one of your hunters only works when on the ground or on a boat in the water. ( Points to the sky). But your power might not be able to mask me when I'm on a plane." Said Alena. " ( Shakes her head). You're close but not fully there, when I made you a hunter. I made you a true hunter. Meaning the protection from your mother's gaze. Extends to wherever you go, be it land sea, or air. As for the jacket, be warned that once you summon that weapon. She will come looking for you. So don't keep it unsummoned for too long." Said Artemis.
" However, I fear that you will need to use it soon, very soon." Said Hestia as Donna ran over to them. " Alena, we got a mission. Two griffens have been seen in San Diego. You, me, and Cassie are tasked with bringing it down." Said Donna. " I'll send Phobie and Bianca to go with you for added support." Said Artemis as she motioned for two hunters to gather toward her. " Thank you, Lady Artemis." Said Donna as she, Alena, Cassie, Phobie, and Bionca disappeared in a flash of light. " I fear this mission may be where she must use it. The spear that Athena created to grow with its user, but above all else, to always strike true.
( Elsewhere, in San Diego twenty minutes later)
" ( Roles out of the way of a blast of lighting launched at her by the griffen). Griffens that can throw lighting, are you serious? Isn't that like an insult to the king or something?" Asked Alena as she used her shield to protect herself from pieces of debris that were sent flying her way. " If it's any consultation, Alena, he okayed this. Remember, an eagle is his sacred animal." Said Cassie as she tried to wrap her lasso around the Griffen, only for the second one to quickly tackle her to the ground and try to snap at her using its beak. Forcing her to grab it's mouth and struggle to keep it from biting her head off. " Hold on Cassie, I'm on my way." Said Donna as she quickly flew to assist Cassie. Then punched the Griffen off of her.
( Griffins)
" This is getting us nowhere and people are about to be in danger." Said Phobie as she and Bianca continued to shoot arrows at the second griffin. " Hey, do you guys have like a tar arrow or something? I think I may have an idea." Said Alena as she fired her own arrows at the Griffin. " We do why, we'd need to light them somehow and we can't get near the fires that are closest to us." Said Bianca." Leave that to me, hey Donna, Caisse. Can you guys knock the Griffen toward the flame over there?" Asked Alena as she pointed to the flame. " Yeah, we can do that. Hope you got a plan or something." Said Cassie as she and Donna worked together to knock the griffin that they were fighting towards the flame.
" Sweet, now it's my turn. ( Grabs four tar-covered arrows from Phobie and Bianca. Then runs towards the wall of fire that was closest to her). Here goes nothing. ( Looks up to see Donna kick the Griffin toward her. Then quickly lights the tar-covered arrows and jumps into the air and over the griffin as it crashes into the flames. Before quickly firing all four arrows at the griffin. Which hit both its eyes and the membrane of its wings). Heh, that was something." Said Alena as she quickly rolled to her feet. " ( Looks to her left to see the other Griffin roar in rage and then charge at Alena). ALENA, WATCH OUT, THE OTHER ONE IS HEADED YOUR WAY!"Yelled Donna which gave Alena enough time to do a run and jump over onto a destroyed car. Then over the griffin. The problem was, that the griffen had tried to grab Alena. Luckily she moved out of the way. But then Alen grabbed the Griffin's back as it flew into the air.
" What is she doing, that's crazy even for her?" Said Bianca. " Diana is gonna kill us if we don't help her." Said Donna as she and Cassie quickly flew after the griffin. With Phobie and Bianco following close bind in a car that Phobie had hotwired. " ( Holds on for dear life as the griffin tries to shake her off). Hey, birdy, creature of the sky or not. your landing whether you like it or not." Said Alena. " Why can't you hunters just let us do our job so we can go home? He said that if we caused some terror to the humans, he would leave us alone. We could live in peace and start a family." Said the griffen in a female voice. " Wait what, Ares forced you two to attack the humans. " Said Alena.
" No, he was in the area. It was the one calling himself Herakles. He killed our family right in front of us. After Ares knocked us from the sky." Said the Griffin. " Wait hold on, Herakles is working with Ares to bring chaos to this world. Then I have a proposition for you. Stop fighting us, and instead. You and your friend can either work with us to stop them, or, you can stay on Paradise Island where many other Griffins reside. There, you guys can live out your lives in peace. " Said Alena as she got more comfortable on the back of the griffin. As it quickly rose higher into the sky. " Wait what, what are you talking about? You killed them, I saw you shoot the eyes." Said the griffin. " I missed, the arrows hit their mark but it wasn't really the eyes. The arrows hit above the eyes, so your friend is only burning. The wings were the only thing that I really hit. But I'll ask again. ( Quickly tucks herself closer to the griffen that she is currently riding as a quick gust of wind goes past her). Will you help us fight against Herakles and Ares, be let alone in peace among other griffins? Or do you two really wish for this fight to end in death?" Said Alena as she looked at the second griffin whose whole body looked scorched.
" ( Looks at the female Griffin). Aireal, does she speak the truth? Have the two of you been talking about that this entire time?" Asked the male griffin. " She has not raised her sword against me, once she knew why we were doing what we're doing. Though, hunter, how are you able to understand us? From what I knew, the only hunter that can understand us is the goddess Artemis." Said Aireal. " She gifted me the ability to understand animals. That is how I was able to understand what you were saying." Said Alena as Donna and Cassie floated over to them. " Where might we find griffins that are living in peace on this Paradise Island?" Asked the male griffin. " ( Points to Donna and Cassie). They can take you there, it's where they're from its a peaceful island where there is no war or danger on that island. If there ever is, the amazons do what they can to protect the island." Said Alena as Aireal and the male griffin landed on the ground.
" Then we will live with our kind on this island and help protect it when the time comes." Said the male griffin. " If that is your wish. ( Gets off of Ariel and walks over to Donna, Cassie, Phobie, and Bianca). We've got a problem. These two weren't sent by Ares. they were forced to attack the humans. Because Herakles and Ares killed their family. "Said Alena which makes the other four glare in hatred. " So Herakles is involved in this as well is he? Well then, we'll need to alert Lady Artemis and Hestia." Said Bianca. " ( Holds up her pointer finger in order to tell everyone to shush). Someone's watching us. Let's head back for now. ( Walks over to the griffins). We'll show you the way to an Amazon camp, and from there we can teleport you to the island." Said Alena as Cassie grabbed her hand and flew off. With Donna wrapped her arms around the waist of both Phobie and Bianca and then flew off after Cassie. As the Griffins flew off after them.
" ( Walks out of the shadows and then crosses his arms). Now then, who are you, young warrior? You're not a hunter, but it could be that Artemis has added one more hunter to her ranks. But then, why do I feel as if you have a connection to the Amazons as well? ( Sighs). No matter, our time is drawing near. Soon, we will bring about a war that this world has not even seen. Not even that feathered owl who calls herself a goddess of war. Will be able to stop us." Said Herakles as he dissapered ina flash of light.
