Mike had been waiting for some action getting very bored about the fact he wasn’t out there helping in the fights but there was a plan so he was going to stick to it.

He had set up his own connection to the communication network Ty had made not wanting to take any chances with the thing in his head and someone else in his head.

Mike had been paying attention to some of the other fights when he noticed Ty was gone. Being the avatar of the god of the dead it didn’t take him much work to find how what had happened. He then quickly worked to reestablish the network with his telepathy doing his great grandma proud.

He made things very easy for people to let him know if they needed his help.

The room lined with statues of Titans that given their lives to help others was something that Iris didn't set foot on a regular basis.

It wasn't that she had never been in it. It was just that she could never go in without feeling the urge to cry.

Today, that urge was especially strong.

Because the newest statue was one of her best friend.

Asteria, goddess of the stars, was fascinated by these mortals and the devices they had to view the stars. She was currently at the Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii. She was looking through the telescope after having chased off the mortals.

dc_titansofmyth:

Phoebe wasn't as hostile as the other Titans and wasn't hellbent on destroying things. She was currently enjoying the view from atop the Eiffel Tower. Mortals of this age were interesting to say the least.

dc_titansofmyth:

Crius and Coeus walked side by side toward the massive factory that belong to LexCorp. Crius picked up a parked car and threw it at the building. Coeus mirrored his brother's actions and launched a car of his own at the building. They made their way slowly through the parking lot and threw the employees cars at the factory.

Rhea stood outside the sprawling farm that was owned by LexCorp. She stood near one field and waved a hand and the crops began to wither. She smiled and moved on to the next field. One by one she moved across the fields and all of the crops began to with and die.

dc_titansofmyth:

Selene, once the goddess of the moon before Artemis, walked toward the office building of a small subsidiary of LexCorp. She raised her hands and beams of light shot from her hands and shattered some of the windows. People inside screamed and started to panic as shard of glass went everywhere.

dc_titansofmyth:

Atlas walked across the tarmac toward the planes with the LexAir logo on them. He reached the planes and put a fist through the hull of the first one. He put his fist through it again and did it a few times more until the plane was full of fist sized holes. The people inside screamed with the first punch and started scrambling to get off the plane.

dc_titansofmyth:

Hyperion stood outside the LexCorp manufacturing plant just outside Metropolis. Fire with the heat of the sun behind it came to his hands and he threw it toward the chemical storage tanks.

A few moments later explosions filled the cool autumn air.

dc_titansofmyth:

Oceanus and his wife Tethys approached the domed city of Poseidonis. The world's oceans were once under their rule and would be once again. The usurpers, Poseidon and his followers, would be driven out and Oceanus would once again claim what was rightfully his.

Tethys was next to her husband as they approached the domed city. Poseidon's rule over the oceans would end and his mortal worshipers would properly be worshiping Tethys and Oceanus. The Titans would once again take their rightful places.

The two walked confidently up to the gates of the city.

Cait returned to Titans Tower to make sure that someone would watch King Triton for her while she was gone. She didn't know how long she would be in Poseidonis so she wanted to make sure the cat was taken care of. There was also Ty. There was no way she would go anywhere without saying goodbye to him. She did make him a promise after all.

She knocked lightly on the door to his room.

Immediately following the meeting with the other avatars, Cerdian attempted to speak to Jai, but the younger man almost literally vanished into thin air. Upon recognizing where Jai was headed before the battle, Cerdian couldn't fault him. He envied Jai's finding of someone he loved and who loved him in return. Cerdian had never experienced that in his young life and knew now that he never would. It was sobering, but there was little time to dwell upon it.

He had others to speak with before too long.

Leaving the Justice League headquarters, Cerdian bent the space between worlds and found himself at the front door to the West household. Dispelling his staff and creating normal clothing, rather than his robes, he walked to the door and knocked.

Night had settled over Gotham and the nightlife was starting to become active. On the streets the good people of Gotham started to seek refuge in their homes and apartments while the criminals started to prey on the unwary. Three thugs, guns for hire for the local mafia, were hunting down the person their boss wanted dealt with.

Little did they know they were the ones being hunted.

A moment later they were jumped from behind and knocked out. The bodies were dragged to a waiting van and tossed inside.

young_swimmer:

Cait had called Jon and a meeting had been set once all the avatars had been located. It seemed like every god and goddess had chosen an avatar to act in their stead during this crisis. They would all be needed along with the rest of the teams. Their opponents weren't just supervillains, but were gods.

Cait along with Ty, Ruth and Dinah headed for the JLA headquarters. Dinah was Hephaestus' avatar, Cait was Poseidon's, Ruth was Hera's and Ty was excellent at coordinating and knowing things. They would be the representatives for the Teen Titans.

They arrived and took seats at the table.

dc_gods:

Hephaestus, Master of the Forge, God of Innovation, Crafstmen, Fire, and Metal appeared before Dinah Kord, the earth splitting open and his form limping out, magma falling off his body.

"Dinah Kord. These are troubled times for mortals and gods." He rasps, rubbing chapped and soot-stained hands together thoughtfully. "I am in need of an avatar, and your keen mind pleases me."

dc_gods:

Dionysos, God of Debauchery, had to get that choosing an Avatar thing done, didn't he?  Well here was his candidate right here. He appeared right behind him.  "Eli Coyne?"

dc_gods:

Aphrodite, Goddess of Love, appeared in Warriors before Petra Gardner.

"Petra Gardner, you shall be my.... "

Her expression shifted to one of pure disdain.  "No.  Absolutely not.  My avatar is not wearing that."

young_swimmer:

Cait was out in the Pacific saving a dolphin from a fisherman's net. The dolphin was one of Hope's pod and Hope's mother had come to Cait for help. Cait had made it out to the boat as fast as she could and had made it in time to rescue the dolphin.

The dolphin swam free of the net and Cait smiled.

dc_gods:

Zeus, God of the Sky, Lightning, Weather, Law, and King of the Gods appeared before Will Freeman in a bolt of lightning.

“Will Freeman,” he said, “I am Zeus King of the Greek Gods. I have chosen you for a very important task. You are to be my Avatar to help fight the Titians of Myth.”

dc_gods:

Hades appeared before Mike Blood and stood looming over him with an intent gaze.  "Mike Blood," he announced, "You know well who I am.  I have come to make you my Avatar, to seek out and crush the Titans of Myth.

Apollo, the god of the sun and music, appeared on the rooftops of Star City along with his twin sister, Artemis, in front of Keith Queen and Mia Dearden.

"Keith Queen," his musical voice said, "I'm the God Apollo. You have been selected by to become my Avatar in this time of of troubles."

He waited for his sister to say her piece before continuing.

dc_gods:

Athena, the goddess of war, civilization, wisdom, strength, strategy, crafts, justice, and skill, and one of the creators of the Amazons, appeared in front of Corinna Prince.

"Corinna Prince of Themyscira, daughter of my Champion, Diana, I have chosen for you to become my Avatar in this time of troubles."

Ares appeared before Hope Free in an instant, signaled by a thunderous boom and wisps of fire.  "Hope Free," he announced.  "I am Ares, the God of War."

The Titans of myth being freed from Hades goes beyond just the YJLA. The adults are also working on it, but haven't had a lot of luck, especially with so many of their number in semi-retirement. As such, Jon moved beyond his original plan to hold a meeting of his team, and called to invite representatives of the other teams as well, calling all active roster YJLA, and inviting the other teams to send 1-3 people so things didn't get too crowded. Then they can inform their people what's going on.


"So, folks, we have a big problem. The monsters and beings that have been appearing around the world were freed from the dimension Hades. We don't know how or by who. The Olympian gods have not been forthcoming, even to the Amazons, and even very powerful mystics have been unable to pierce the mystery... though past experience has taught us that's often the case with affairs of the gods. They limit their direct interference in mortal affairs, in exchange, mortals have a very hard time dealing directly with them. Sadly, even though the original Grecian Titans don't have any such compact, to learn what happened, we'd need to get past Hades' protections. The Greek gods may be incapacitated, or may be somehow bound by the compact of the gods. Its very possible that once the original Titans reached Earth, their captors couldn't directly interfere."

He sighs. "Direct confrontation isn't the likely answer. Single gods have fought groups including my father, Wonder Woman and a handful of other senior leaguers. Many of the Titans have the power of an entire team. The Titans are more powerful still - the only reason the Greek Gods defeated them was due to greater unity and better tactics. Don't mistake me - they can be beaten, but we're going to need a good plan, and possibly more allies and greater resources. At this point, I'm open to ideas."

dc_titansofmyth:

Near Logan International Airport there were a number of industrial areas. Warehouses and manufacturing plants were scattered through out the area and closing in on a manufacturing planted owned by LexCorp was Helios, Titan and once worshiped as the sun god. Until Zeus and his Olympians usurped the Titans and cast them into Hades.

Helios pulled upon his fiery powers and engulfed the plant in flames.

dc_titansofmyth:

Oceanus, Titan and once ruler of the oceans, rose from the waters of the North Sea close to the Faroe Islands. He looked at the large monstrosity of a LexOil oil drilling platform rising out of the water. These mortals had the nerve to poison his oceans. Oceanus would show them what happened to insolent beings who dared to poison Gaea with their technology.

Oceanus summoned the power of the ocean itself as he moved toward the platform.

dc_titansofmyth:

Atlas, titan of myth and who once held the sky on his shoulders, stood outside the LexCorp manufacturing plant on the outskirts of New Orleans, LA. The Titans would not be beholden to any mortal. They were free and nothing would stop them. Zeus and his crew would be defeated and the Titans would once again rule as they were meant to.

Atlas moved toward the plant. Moments later there were fires and explosions rocked the plant.

dc_monsters:

A small herd of Hippocampus had charged in and taken over the harbor of Happy Harbor. They attacked any ships or people that got close to them.

They did not seem to be going after anyone once they got away from the herd.

The great and might Chimera was flying around the city of Metropolis. It spouted fire from its lion head as it flew closer to the ground to attack the masses.

If no one interfered soon the Chimera would live up to its gruesome legacy.

What looks like a bat-winged lion with a tail covered in spikes flies down the Las Vegas strip. With a savage wave of its tail, poison spines shoot into a crowd, paralyzing those they hit.

Once its prey are struck still, it swoops in for the easy meal.

It was a beautiful fall evening in Paris. The Eiffel Tower was all aglow, and couples strolled through the Champs-Élysées.

A great roar echoed in the night, and a fearsome creature swooped down out of the night sky, picking up a man by the shoulders in his claws!

The griifon, from Greek myth, carried his prey and perched on top of the Eiffel Tower. He let out a cry.

dc_monsters:

The biggest, baddest and most feared monster in all of Greek Mythology was Typhon. He was the father of all monsters with his wife Echidna.

His human upper half reached as high as the stars. His hands reached east and west and had a hundred dragon heads on each. He was feared even by the mighty gods. His bottom half was gigantic viper coils that could reach the top of his head when stretched out and made a hissing noise. His whole body was covered in wings, and fire flashed from his eyes.

In myth, the Typhon was never killed. The gods feared him and it took the lightning bolt of Zeus to hurt the thing enough for the king of the gods to imprison it under Mt. Etna in Sicily.

The Typhon would be a great distraction and a very big problem for the gods and the heroes of the world if he were unleashed.

Hyperion the titan made his way toward Mt. Etna to release Typhon.

dc_monsters:

The waters of the Atlantic could be turbulent and deadly with the storms that kicked up the waves. Today it was a bright sunny day and the waters were calm.

Or were calm.

The waters around a fishing trawler in the Grand Banks erupted in a spray of water. The Leviathan, a creature of myth and legend, was alive and hunting in the waters of the North Atlantic. The large monster roared and attacked the fishing trawler.

The captain of the boat managed to get a short message to shore before the ship started to sink, taking cargo and crew with it.

dc_monsters:

The Nemean Lion once terrorized the countryside outside of Nemea devouring anyone that close to his lair. His golden fur was impervious to attack and its claws were sharper than mortal swords and could cut through any armor. It was slain by Hercules on his first labor.

The citizens of San Jose California were going about their daily lives not aware of the danger that awaited them. The Nemean Lion, a creature of myth and ferocity, ran through the streets of downtown San Jose. He roared and swiped at anyone who came close to him.

Each year the The Denver Botanic Gardens created a corn maze. Each year the design changed and each year it is one of most attended corn mazes in the country.

It was natural that the minotaur from Grey Myth would show up in a maze and he made the Denver corn maze his home. Attendance quickly dropped off as people entered the maze and never came out. Authorities and the media appeared on the scene to see what was behind these disappearances.

dc_monsters:

Aello, Celaeno, and Ocypete three harpies swooped down into Metropolis and circled the top of the Daily Planet a few times before heading down to the streets. They swooped down and grabbed a citizen before taking them up to a roof top to torture them a bit.

dc_monsters:

Sunlight glinted off of metallic feathers and bronze beaks as the flock of large man-eating birds descended upon the city of Moscow. The residents and tourists were out enjoying the warm (for Moscow) late summer day. The birds flew down and started attacking the humans.

dc_monsters:

The Pacific Ocean just off the coast of San Francisco erupted in a spray of water and foam and a giant monster out of myth arose from the surf. The Kraken, a being of gigantic proportions, roared. He was free after so long. He turned and set his sights upon the city of San Francisco.

dc_monsters:

The seven head serpent known as the Lernaean Hydra walked of Lake Michigan and on to the streets of Chicago striking out to attack people with its many mouths. As dangerous as it was the poison it was breath was causing just as much trouble.

The police were doing the best job that they could to contain the situation but they were not trained to deal with anything like this. They needed help and fast.

dc_monsters:

Podagros (the fast), Lampon (the shining), Xanthos (the blond) and Deinos (the terrible), known as the Mares of Diomedes raced through the streets of London. Fire streamed from their mouths and nostrils as they ran.

The unlucky citizen or tourist who couldn't get out of the way fast enough were either burned, or on the rare occasion ran down and eaten by the flesh eating horses. Police tried to set up barricades to stop them, but the wild horses would not be stopped or contained.

dc_titansofmyth:

Rome had always been famous for its museums filled with paintings and statues. The city was filled with art from all ages. Today, more art was being added in the form of statues. These were not being placed in the museums, but were being created on the streets.

Medusa, the gorgon from myth, made her way down the Via del Fori Imperiali and turned the citizens and tourists to stone with her gaze.

dc_misc:

There was a low rumbling deep within the Earth near Taenarum, Greece. The rumbling grew louder and louder until it seemed like there was an earthquake. Local residents ran for doorframes. The Earth erupted and dirt, rocks and plants were sprayed into the air. A gaping maw formed in the Earth and the pit seemed bottomless.

The pit was not empty.

Beings and creatures that had not seen the light of day in over two thousands years climbed from the pit and stepped out onto the Earth.
