 ZEUS |  Apollo |  Hades |
As soon as Zeus lets the other Gods interfere Ares went there to punish Diomedes. His entry to battle was in favor of the Trojans. He planed to bring more carnage than Achilles would bring to the Trojans but he wanted to find Diomedes first. Apollo decided to just let Ares help the Trojans since the god of war was capable of defeating the Greeks. Apollo told Ares to help Hector but little did Apollo knew that Ares ignored the message.Diomedes was in combat as he saw the god of war approaching in the shape of a Trojan soldier . He immediately threw a spear but Ares dodged it. Ares then threw a spear but Diomedes evaded then he taunted Ares. The provoked god runs recklessly and predictably. Diomedes threw a dagger stabbing Ares left arm but Ares continued to approach Diomedes who is keeping distance with the enraged god. Ares leaped tor-wards Diomedes. Ares blade was blocked by Diomedes' shield. Diomedes quickly pulled out his sword and dueled with Ares in the shape of a soldier. Diomedes' sword broke then with Ares' superior sword Ares slashed the right arm of Diomedes before he kills his brutalized foe. The victorious Ares roared arrogantly then he noticed the bodies of dead Trojans. He realized that Achilles was the one decimating the battlefield. Meanwhile, the Spartans, led by Menelaus, fought with Achilles' soldiers and they were amazed by power of the vengeful Achilles. They did not let any Trojan pass their checkpoint. Then suddenly Ares charged like wild animal slaying every Greek in his path.
Achilles swept the battlefield killing Hector's brother. He then approached Hector then they dueled. Apollo was unable to save Hector for he thought Ares would save Hector from Achilles. Ares was devastating the Greeks so much that he did not realized that Hector was in danger. With all the deaths of soldiers Hades appeared and informed Ares that Achilles is killing more soldiers than him. As Hector's body was being dragged by Achilles' chariot Ares attacked the Chariot. The high quality spears pierced each of the horses. Instantly after that a spear from a spartan named Kratos hit Ares. Kratos was gifted with special abilities which include seeing the gods when they are in disguise. Ares bled though the would is not big Kratos felt confident. Kratos is a brave man who journeyed before joining the rest of the Spartans in the war. He was only begging to train when the fleet sailed for war 10 years ago. The rest of the Spartans were protecting other areas.
Photo of KratosKratos came to find an excellent battle which is why he took on the god of war. He pulled out his unique and powerful weapon. He got it from one of his journeys. Hades recognized the blade for he contributed in making it. The blade is made out of materials from the underworld and it could also hurt a god or possibly kill a god though it will take full control of it. Ares charged to Kratos not knowing of the blade's capabilities. They fought but the shape of Ares altered into a minotaur.
Soldiers saw the minotaur not knowing it was Ares. Hades appeared to Achilles before he would go near the other Trojans who were with the Greeks to witness a duel between a Spartan and a minotaur. Hades mentioned to Achilles that one of his weapons are being used by mortals and he wanted it back. Achilles instantly knew that the weapon Hades spoke of was with the Spartan fighting the minotaur since it can compete to the weapon the minotaur was wielding. Kratos stabbed Ares and he felt the pain like a mortal. Kratos told to Ares "so this blade hurts the gods like it would hurt mortals." Ares was frightened that he may die but he attempted to strike Kratos with his majestic weapon but the skillful Spartan lived though injured. Kratos slashed the arm of Ares' form. The screaming minotaur ran. Suddenly after the battle, Hades produced a giant smoke which covered the battlefield and ended the battle for the day. He then took his weapon back in front of the wounded spartan with out taking him to the underworld. Achilles and his soldiers took Hector's body back to camp while the others took Diomedes while Achilles was dragging his chariot and Menelaus returned Kratos to safety. Luckily for Ares he was able to morph back to his Olympian form with less injuries when he returned to Mt.Olympus ashamed and vengeful. Menelaus himself went to see Kratos' condition. Kratos told Menelaus "My king, I have fought the god of war in his minotaur form. He favors the Trojans. Beware my king he might return and I would not be able to stop him since Hades took my weapon." Menelaus responded with "Let us pray that the other gods stop him from harming us." The Greeks then discussed their strategy to keep the wooden horse hidden during the ceasefire. Odysseus saw the horse earlier that day and he was working with Agamemnon in finalizing the plan.Effects to the story
With the involvement of Ares, Apollo did not advised Hector to stay away from Achilles thus making his death quicker. The Greeks were losing many soldiers as Ares slaughter them brutally. Diomedes' death really affected the Greeks but having Achilles to fight made the Trojans weaker. Achilles killed Hector earlier due to the storyline modification but he still dishonored Hector's body. Ares came to kill Achilles but the added character Kratos fought Ares. Hades' stopped the day's battle which created a ceasefire. The ceasefire lasted long enough that the funerals of Diomedes, Hector and Patroclus were prioritized. Priam still got the body of his son though it was better kept than the original version since Achilles did not spent a day dragging the body with his chariot. Smoke covered the battlefield. Hector's family knew his death late due to the other commotions. Kratos was praised for his gallant performance. He became popular. Ares vowed revenge but he was unable when Athena stopped him in the next chapter[21]. Zeus still sends the message to Thetis to ransom Hector's body. During the next chapters the Greeks would have been mourning and concentrating in ending the war with deception.
Thank you for reading from Nickleus Jimenez Now I present a presentation to supplement my entry.click to see it larger
I have modified this chapter because I felt that chapter 20 does not have that excitement that it should have. The story was too simple since Achilles is too dominant in the story so I made a Trojan counterpart and introduced a new character.
The flash file was rushed and it is buggy. Click on the buttons in the Flash file.
