The meeting had been boring. Ares hated when the meetings were boring. Zeus was going more and more insane. His ideals were getting more out of hand and Ares knew he would have to stand up to him soon. It was getting absolutely ridiculous. Zeus wanted someone killed here and someone to live there. Was it any wonder Hercules had left all those years ago? Ares sighed and rubbed his temples. Gods above and below he was tired. He thanked Hades, his real father, everyday that his heirs had all been born so if something were to happen to him his three houses would be safe and well cared for.
He’d just completed that thought when he was struck in the chest by a powerful blast of magic. It threw him across the hall of War into a wall and held him there. Blast after blast of power hit him and as he lost consciousness and saw Zeus, he sent a summons to the three heirs. Then, with the last of his strength, he transported himself to his real father.
Hades caught him and sensing the summons had been sent, he sat and held Ares after summoning his own children. It was time to kick it, God Style. In other words, Zeus would pay for this outrage.

Kermit Griffin and his lover, Peter Caine, were walking through Chinatown to Peter’s father’s building when Kermit suddenly doubled over as if in pain. Peter watched, as his father and the Ancient did when they joined him, as Kermit was glowing and seemed to be morphing into something. Without warning, large, ebony wings erupted from his back, shredding his suit coat, the shirt he wore under it, his undershirt and his tie. He looked down at himself and shrugged as he removed his sunglasses and closed his eyes. His pants and dress shoes changed to black leather pants and boots and a wicked looking dagger appeared in the belt at his side. A mark appeared on his chest of horns over an elongated X. Peter thought his father knew it because Kwai Chang Caine inhaled sharply as the mark flared and an amulet with the same symbol appeared around his neck. There was a clap of thunder in which was spoken one word: War!
Kermit made a gesture with his hand and Paul was suddenly there. Then he closed his eyes and they were all suddenly elsewhere.

Duncan MacLeod was walking with Darius, Methos, Jenny and Richie through a park when Darius suddenly stopped, threw his head back, and bellowed in rage. Then he seemed to be overcome by a fit of some kind. He doubled over and dropped to one knee. A glow started over his body and Duncan reached forward. He was yanked back by Methos who hissed: “Don’t touch him, child. That energy will fry you.”
Duncan watched, they all watched, as Darius seemed to be changed by the energy. It reshaped his body, his hair grew to just below his shoulders, he seemed to get bigger in the shoulder and most of his body became more muscled. An earring appeared in his left ear, the habit vanished to be replaced by black leather pants and instead of a shirt of some kind, he seemed to be in a harness of crossed leather straps the formed an X. The center of which was the center of his midsection. An ax appeared at his right side a curved dagger at his left and on his back, crossed curved swords. His hair was held back from his face by a leather band. His belt carried the symbol of horns over an elongated X.
There was a loud clap of thunder in which was heard the word: Aggression!
Darius gestured and they were suddenly elsewhere. All of them save Methos who already existed in that time and place. Methos chuckled.
“Good luck,” he said as he walked away.

Rupert Giles and his charges had been going over the latest threat to the Hellmouth opening when Giles suddenly staggered and was caught by Ethan of all people.
“FATHER!” Giles screamed in anger, as he and Ethan were both engulfed in light. The light flared about them, hiding them from view. Giles’ form seemed to be changing and shifting, as was Ethan’s. He was getting younger in appearance and his clothes were changing. From his tweed outfit to a pair of black leather pants and a high collared black leather vest. His hair lengthened slightly and his eyes glowed with power.
Across the library, Dawn was watching, as the same thing seemed to be happening to Wesley. He didn’t change much but his clothes did and his eyes screamed power if you looked into them. Ethan, when his change was complete, wore what looked like the clothes he wore regularly except they were leather and silk and seemed to shimmer as he walked. Wesley’s clothes were all black. He carried a bow and arrow and he looked stunned as if he finally understood something about himself.
A loud clap of thunder filled the library and three titles were spoken: Mortals, Chaos, and Mind of Humanity, Protector of Youth!
Giles waved his hand and moved them all elsewhere.

Hugh Pendragon had been reading when he felt it. A summons to home. He’d stood and whistled for his dog. The power washed over him and the dog, revealing the dog in its three-headed glory. Hugh was revealed in black, as Wesley had been, but there was also a gold band around his upper right arm and the Gems of Hades adorned his wrists.
The clap of thunder filled the mansion just as he transported out: Soul of Humanity, Prince of Asphodel!
And he was elsewhere as well. With his dog.

He’d been sleeping when it hit. That pulling sensation that he had learned over the years never to ignore. The demon in him smiled as it released him, walking itself into the sunlight, hugging him once before disintegrating into dust. He did not change. He was fine as he was, always had been. He hugged the demon back, hearing its whisper of Luck for William before the clap of thunder filled the air: Heart of Humanity, Guardian of Slayers!
And he, too, was just gone.
