Chapter Eighteen - Enemies Of The Past

As the Argonauts stood against the champions of Hecate, they were quickly overwhelmed by the sheer power of the undead champions of Hecate. Talia uses her magic to form a protective barrier between them and their foes. Nessus begins to batter the barrier with his battle axe.

Jiro: What are these guys?!

Talia: Undead champions of Hecate. They were no doubt resurrected by the Blacktongues.

Bakugo: Well whoever they are, I'm sending these bastards back to Hell!

Yaoyorozu: We can't take them head on! They're much too strong for us!

Kirishima: Maybe we can get Mr. Aizawa and some of the others to lend us a hand! Maybe Todoroki's Ice could even things up!

Midoriya: We can't. We'd be putting them at risk.

As Midoriya said this, the protective barrier formed by Talia's magic began to crack under the constant attacks from Nessus's battle axe.

Midoriya: Our best strategy will be to split them up. It's our best chance if we're going to survive.

Jiro: That...that Manticore can go invisible. It looks like that Centaur is the one calling the shots. The Sight of Hermes can see through the Manitcore. I'll take him and his pet.

Talia: Centaurs are formidable warriors. Even with your Quirk, you're no match for him alone.

Kirishima: Leave that to me! Hercules's pelt ought to even things up!

Bakugo: You leave that fucking asshole with the mask and the spear to me! I'll show him who the fuck he's messing with!

Midoriya: I'll help you, Kacchan. We've never fought these guys before. We need all the advantages we can take.

Bakugo hated the idea of working with Midoriya or anyone for that matter. However, the situation made it impossible to refuse. Bakugo gritted his teeth.

Bakugo: Fine! Just stay the fuck out of my way, Deku! We're taking on this asshole and we're taking him out! Got it?!

Talia: Then that just leaves Phaedon. Momo, you and I will deal with Phaedon.

Yaoyorozu: Understood.

Midoriya began to quickly analyze the area, devising the best way to isolate them and lure them away from the stadium. As he formulated a strategy, Midoriya turned to Talia.

Midoriya: Talia, we need some way split them apart. Do you think your magic could help us with that?

Talia: Leave it to me, Midoriya. Pan has taught me several spells for just this occasion.

With that, a plan was set. It wasn't long until Nessus broke through the protective barrier. Nessus swung his battle axe at the Argonauts, but Bakugo unleashes an explosion which pushes Nessus back. The explosion does little damage to the Centaur though it angered him greatly.

Nessus: You will pay for that, human!

Bakugo: Fuck you, you overgrown horse! I'll send your ass to the glue factory!

Phaedon: What a brutish thug! It appears the Satyr's taste in company has greatly diminished.

Docon: We will deliver your heads to the Satyr.

Midoriya: We won't let the Blacktongues win! Whatever they're planning, we'll stop them!

Docon: You fail to understand the truth of your situation. Your fate has been sealed. Your lives were over the moment you chose to stand against us. We will end the reign of the Olympian Gods and bring about the eternal reign of Hecate!

As the champions of Hecate prepare to attack the Argonauts, Midoriya waited for the right time to execute his plan. As they got closer, he saw the opportunity.

Midoriya: Everyone! Now!

As Midoriya gave the signal, everyone lunged at their target. Midoriya and Bakugo fought Docon. Talia and Yaoyorozu dueled against Phaedon. Jiro and Kirishima confronted Nessus and Hep'naje. Once everyone reached their targets, Talia used her magic to form a protective barriers around each separate fight to prevent any interference. As all this happened, Xerxos watched from a distance.

Xerxos: Fight, Argonauts, fight. You're only prolonging the inevitable.

Xerxos would watch this fight with great interest. Meanwhile back at the cafeteria, another wave of Blacktongues and Tartarus Fiends swarmed the Heroes. Pan and the Pro Heroes held the line.

Present Mic: These guys just don't quit!

Pan: Neither should we! We must hold the line for as long as it takes! The students are counting on us to fight off these invaders!

Pan and the rest of the Pro Heroes continued fighting the Blacktongues as they poured into the cafeteria. Pan used his magic to even the odds. Soon enough, the Blacktongues were pushed back for the time being. Suddenly, Pan felt a disturbance. He felt something was terribly wrong. He felt as if something terrible was happening. Aizawa could see that something was wrong.

Aizawa: Pan? What's wrong?

Pan: I feel...something terrible is happening.

Aizawa: You mean the Blacktongues?

Pan: No. It's...it's something else. Something....elusive.

Pan took this moment to clear his mind and meditate. As he meditates, he saw the Argonauts engaged in combat. At first, he was unable to see the faces of the people fighting the Argonauts. However, he was soon able to see the faces of Docon, Phaedon, Nessus and Hep'naje. He can also sense Xerxos nearby.

Pan: No....it cannot be....

Aizawa: What's going on?

Pan: The Argonauts, they're...they're facing enemies from my past. Enemies who were long since dead. The Blacktongues have resurrected them.

Suddenly, another way of Blacktongues and Tartarus Fiends began attacking the cafeteria.

Aizawa: Go help them, Pan!

Pan: Are you sure?

Aizawa: We can take it from here, Pan. Go!

With that, Pan exited the cafeteria and began to rush to the Sports Festival Stadium. In that moment, Pan prepared to face off against his old foes.
