Legacy of Asgard

The dust slowly settled and Percy saw Jason, the tip of a spear protruding from his stomach and a look of shock and disbelief written on his face.

Hel pulled the spear out as Jason dropped to his knees, blood starting to pour from the wound in his stomach. Hel raised her weapon to finish him and all Percy could do was look on in horror.

Just as the weapon was brought down, a familiar looking panther leapt out of nowhere and sunk its fangs deep in the goddess' neck. Frank jerked his head to the side, trying to go for the instinctive kill before he was thrown over the top of the goddess, landing at her feet.

Ichor poured from her neck but Hel remained on her feet. She raised her spear on Frank and brought it down only to hit nothing but marble. She looked down at the spot in disbelief when instead of a full grown panther; a small gerbil scurried away from her as fast as its little legs could take it.

She lunged at the rodent but was tackled hard to the ground but what felt like a runaway freight train. Percy looked like a linebacker as he wrapped both arms around her waist and drove her so hard into the floor, the marble cracked under the impact of their collision.

Rather than roll away, Percy sat up and drove his fist straight into the goddess' face. One after another, he wailed away, his rage fueling him on and leaving the goddess too stunned to react or defend herself. After a few though, she turned her head and Percy hit the marble with a sickening crunch of his knuckles.

Hel grabbed him by the shirt and used her legs to flip him over the top of her, allowing her to roll away, still reeling from the beating she had just taken at the hands of the demigod.

Percy jumped to his feet to see Hel slowly getting to hers. Her face was bruised and bleeding and not even her powers as a goddess were healing them very quickly.

Reyna had pulled Jason aside and was trying to stop the bleeding as he lay there, his face ghostly white and looking close to death.

Frank has transformed out of his gerbil form and reformed as himself, standing a few feet away from Percy, his eyes locked on the goddess.

Hel's already hideous face was marred with a vicious sneer. She wiped some of the ichor from her mouth, "I will destroy all of you for this!"

Percy glanced at Frank and then back at Reyna and Jason. Frank followed his eyes and an understanding quickly passed between them.

It was up to the two of them to finish this once and for all... Or die trying.

Frank moved first. His body transformed mid stride. He lunged at Hel in the form of a panther only to transform mid jump into a six hundred pound Grizzly Bear. He roared loudly and swiped his massive paw at her. Hel ducked and had to spin around to parry the Mjolnir. She expertly parried Percy's strike, using his momentum to send him stumbling forward before spinning around to impale Frank.

Only Frank, or the monstrous Grizzly, was no longer there.

Instead, a massive boar lunged at her, upending the goddess and sending her flipping over its back. The boar spun around and barreled into Hel with its tusks. She howled in pain as she felt the animal's tusks pierce her skin. She let out another scream and blasted Frank away, sending him flying into one of the thrones. Frank though, transformed into a chimpanzee and grabbed one of the arms the throne as he reached it, doing a backflip and landing perfectly on his feet where he turned back into himself.

Percy used her preoccupation with Frank as his chance to move. He hurled Mjolnir at Hel but she managed to duck before it could hit her. Percy ran forward with Anaklusmos just as she got back to her feet. He slashed at her chest but she blocked, pushed back, and returned with her own attacks. The sound of metals clashing filled the throne room, as Percy met every strike with one of his own.
