Day eight!

Meanwhile, Phil is running from his feelings and responsibilities by hiding out in his aunts’ cabin. He knows it’s not a perfect solution, but he needs to get away from his usual Christmas traditions. 

As they say, great minds think alike, but maybe sharing a cabin with a stranger wasn’t what they meant.

Yesterday’s fic!

The snow was falling lightly on the mountain, but the narrow road that wound up it stayed clear and cut a dark spiral through the white powder. A lone bright yellow cab made its slow but steady trek up. The December air was cold, but inside was warm and soft Christmas music played over the speakers. The driver just hummed and drummed his fingers against the wheel to the tune of the song, but his passenger in the back seat was staring out the window and talking on the phone.

“Dan, I can’t believe you’ve run off to America and left me here alone at Christmas,” Louise whined across the line. “You could have at least given me a warning so I had a chance to give you your Christmas present. Now I’ll have to wait until New Years to give it to you and that’s just ridiculous.”

“People give each other Christmas gifts late all the time,” Dan corrected her. Remember year before last when we were both so busy that we didn’t manage to get our gifts delivered until February.”

“That was awful! We swore we’d never speak of it again! I had a wrapped gift on my hearth for almost three months!”  

“Actually, we never swore to anything, you just told me not to,” Dan smirked. “Besides, that’s just proof that you’ll be fine keeping my gift for an extra week. If you want you can come pick me up from the airport and give it to me then.”

“You wish. I don’t give festivity deserters rides anywhere.”

“You’re so mean to me,” Dan whined half-heartedly. As he said this, the car rolled to a halt, but when he looked outside, the cabin was nowhere to be seen. “Anyway, I have to go. I’ll call you when I get settled.” He hung up and leaned forward to get the driver’s attention. “Hey, why are we stopped?”

“This is as far as I can take you,” the driver explained. “That’s the driveway, but it requires four-wheel drive, which I don’t have. Sorry, but I gotta leave you here.”

Dan quickly pulled up his maps and groaned. “But I have luggage! And it’s snowing!”

“Sorry, pal,” the driver shrugged. “Nothing I can do.”

Muttering darkly to himself, Dan paid the man and got his bags out of the back of the car, relieved that he’d left in such a hurry that he didn’t have time to pack as much as he normally would have. Thankfully, the snow was light, and he started his hike through the woods. About three minutes in, he discovered that his shoes were not at all designed for this, and all he could do was hope that his sneakers weren’t ruined.

Ten minutes later, he made it to the cabin and was surprised to see an old beat up blue truck parked outside. He assumed it belonged to a groundskeeper or cleaner and shrugged. Maybe they’d be willing to show him where everything was. As soon as he hauled his things up the last few stairs, he immediately started shedding his damp clothes and made a beeline for the lounge (or should he call it a “living room” now that he was in America?) to start a fire and get warmed up. Much to his surprise, there was already a small fire crackling away happily, so he sat down right in front of it, and let his eyes slip closed at the feeling of warmth.

“Uh, hello?”

Dan’s eyes snapped open to see a man, probably around his height, standing in front of him with a confused expression and a thick blanket. Dan smiled and offered a hand. “Hi, I’m Dan; I’m renting this place for the next couple weeks. Do you work here?”

“Uh, no, I don’t work here,” the man said, and Dan could hear a familiar accent coloring his tone. “And what do you mean you’re ‘renting’ it?”

“I mean I went on Airbnb and booked it through New Year’s,” Dan said. “And if you don’t work here, what are you doing here?”

“This is my aunts’ place,” he said. “They’re letting me stay here for the holidays while they’re in Italy.”

Dan flushed darkly and covered his face with his hands. “I’m so sorry. I must have the wrong address or something.”

The man laughed. “No problem. Who are you renting from? I haven’t been here for years, but I may know them. I could give you a ride so you don’t have to walk.”

Still a bit rosey-cheeked, Dan smiled up at him. “That would be great. I’m renting from the Moore-Davies and their place is called Badger Rest. Do you know it?”

The man sputtered. “I, uh, yeah, I know it.”

Dan beamed. “Great! Let me grab my stuff and I’ll be out of your hair as soon as possible.”

The man groaned. “No, look. I know Badger Rest because my aunts are Sara and Jessica Moore-Davies. I convinced them to name it Badger Rest because this is where I got my pet badger.”

“Jessica Moore-Davies is your aunt?” Dan clarified. “The same Jessica Moore-Davies that I’ve been chatting with for a week about renting this place?”

“Yeah,” the man said. “She married my Aunt Sara, who I talked to day before yesterday. They must not have talked to each other about letting people stay here.”

“What am I gonna do?” Dan moaned, burying his face in his hands.

“Hey, hey, don’t worry!” the man said, a twinge of panic to his voice. “I’m not going to kick you out or anything. You paid good money to stay here, I’m sure. Besides, I doubt you have anywhere around here to stay anyway. If you want, we can share. At least for today.”

Dan peered up at him through his fingers. “You’d really do that for me?”

The man grinned. “Of course! Besides, this works out. Now I can be sure that you’re not going to throw any wild house parties and ruin my aunts’ cabin.”

Dan snorted. “As if I could throw a party.”

The man chuckled and offered a hand. “Phil Lester is the name. I was about to get started on dinner. Do you have a problem eating stir-fry? I’m not the best at cooking, but I think I’ve got this down at least.”

Dan took the hand and surprised Phil by using it to pull himself to his feet. “Dan Howell. Do you want some help cooking?”

“Yeah!” Phil nodded. “Careful with the cabinets, though. I’m notorious for leaving them open and I don’t want you to hit your head on the corner or anything.”

“Duly noted.”

Together, they chopped vegetables and sauteed meat and cooked rice, chatting the entire time. There was one instance where Phil almost caught a tea towel fire, but Dan managed to snatch it off the hot eye before any real damage could be done. As they talked Dan quickly learned that he and Phil had basically the same set of interests, just with varying levels of enthusiasm. When Dan learned that Phil had brought his entire Switch system and several games, he almost kissed him.

“Dinner was great, thanks,” Dan sighed, letting his eyes slip closed with a contented sigh.

“I’d say you’re welcome, but you kicked me off the stove halfway through,” Phil teased.

Dan grinned. “I said what I said.”

Phil snickered. “Do you want to play Mario Kart? I’ll pick up the dishes if you go get everything set up.”

“You are like a gift from god.”

“Sure. Give me your plate.”

Dan did as he was told and scurried off to set up their game. Phil had only gotten to the cabin less than an hour before Dan, so the system was still in its traveling case on the floor next to the TV. Thankfully, setup didn’t take too long, and after he untangled and plugged in the wires, Dan was shuffling through Phil’s games. At first he’d thought it was adorable that Phil carried his games around in their original boxes instead of a travel case like everyone else, but soon learned that Phil was an actual demon.

“Hey, so I--”

“These are all in the wrong cases, you absolute trollop!” Dan interrupted gently chucking the box for Mario Odyssey (which contained Zelda) at Phil’s shins.

Phil just giggled with no shame. “I’m pretty sure Mario Kart is in the Splatoon case.”

Dan shot him a glare and opened the box, sure enough finding Mario Kart right where Phil said it would be. “You’re an awful, despicable person,” Dan informed, sitting himself on the couch next to Phil as the menu screen popped up. He handed the blue controler over to Phil who quickly selected the game.

“Who do you normally play as?” Phil asked casually, roaming his cursor over all the characters, not stopping on one for too long.

“Usually, I just play as my Mii, but I don’t have that here so I guess I’ll be one of the Squid Kids. You?”

“Uuuuhhh,” Phil frantically switched from character to character until he finally decided. “Tanooki Mario!”

Dan cut him a playful side glare as Phil picked a cup and course and the race started. “Is this your way of telling me you’re a furry?”

“I dunno,” Phil said, totally deadpan, more focused on the game. “Is this your way of telling me you’re whatever a squid furry is called?”

Dan laughed. “First of all, definitely yes. Second, I guess they’d be squishies or something? I mean technically furries are all manner of anthropomorphised animals, so furry works anyway.”

Phil sputtered out a laugh. “Alright, good to know. Not sure I want to know how you know that, but I guess I’m glad I do now.”

“Oh, please. It’s like you don’t even internet, Phil.”

“Stop making me laugh, this is cheating!” Phil giggled as his character was fished out of the water.

“Maybe you should just get better at Mario Kart. Wait-- Hey!” Dan laughed as Phil abandoned his own controler to try and knock Dan’s from his hands. “This is blatant cheating.”

“Maybe you should just get better at Mario Kart,” Phil mocked. They tussled for a moment before the final horns sounded on the game.

Dan glanced at the screen, gaping. “Fifth? I came in fifth?” Phil was now wheezing with laughter, so Dan tossed his controller aside to continue their miniature wrestling match, this time with more tickling.

“Stop, stop, you win!” Phil choked out. Dan backed off and they laid there panting for a moment before Phil looked over with a wide grin. “So, round two?”

*_*_*_*_*_*_*

They played Mario Kart into the night, later than Dan was happy to admit, but when Dan fell asleep mid-race, they decided to call it quits. That’s when realization washed over Dan. “Phil there’s only one bed here.”

Phil grimaced. “I totally forgot about that. Maybe they have and air mattress somewhere?”

Dan was doubtful. “I dunno, your aunt was pretty adamant about making sure I knew there was only one bed.”

“Yeah, but we might as well look.”

“Might as well. I’ll check the bedroom, you check the hall closet.”

“I’ll check the attic, too,” Phil said. “I know they used to keep all kinds of stuff up there.”

Dan nodded and wandered off down the hall to the bedroom with ensuite. He doubted there was going to be an air mattress stored in the bedroom, but you never knew. He checked the closet and under the bed, but was met with the expected clothes and storage boxes. Nothing even remotely helpful here. The story was the same in the bathroom, and Dan returned to the lounge empty handed.

Phil showed up carrying an armful of blankets, but when he saw Dan with nothing his face fell. “Well, these won’t be very useful.”

“Don’t worry about it, I can just kip on the sofa,” Dan shrugged.

“Well, that doesn’t seem fair,” Phil protested. “You paid to sleep here, the least I could do is let you use the bed.”

“You were already nice enough by not kicking me out into the snow earlier,” Dan pointed out.

“Any decent human person would do that, though.”

“You’d be surprised at how few decent human people there are.” Seeing Phil’s mouth open to argue, Dan added, “How about this: I’ll take the bed tonight, and if for some reason we’re both still here tomorrow night then we’ll swap.”

“I doubt either of us are going anywhere,” Phil mused. “There’s only one hotel in town, and since it’s going through renovations I doubt there’s going to be any available rooms.”

“Then it’s settled,” Dan decided. “I’ll sleep here tonight, and you can tomorrow.”

Phil shrugged. “I guess that’s fair.” He smiled warmly at Dan. “See you in the morning.”

“Night, Phil.”

They went their separate ways for bed, and Dan changed and curled up on the couch to sleep. It was a nice couch, but there was a metal rod that cut it in half for support that hit him right on the hip, and his long limbs just barely fit on the cushions. However, easily the worst part was how cold it got so quickly. The south wall was made up entirely of windows that overlooked a beautiful, serene lake during the day, but Dan had no idea how quickly it could sap the room of warmth with the fire doused.

Dan laid there shivering and trying to fall asleep for a good half hour before the hallway light came on an a silhouetted figure stood in the doorway. Dan sat up and watched Phil come in, weighed down with a couple heavy-looking blankets and two cup of what Dan assumed was hot chocolate.

“Can’t sleep?” Dan whispered. For some reason he felt like if he dared speak any louder, something would break.

Phil smiled softly at him. “Yeah. Plus, I remembered how cold it gets in here from when I was a kid.”

Dan took the hot chocolate offered to him, and he and Phil sat together watching the snow fall outside the panoramic window. They were silent until Dan heard a soft snore from Phil. He gently woke up the other man and ushered him back to bed. When he returned to the lounge, it seemed warmer than before.

While Nebula and Sea Angel Splatoon are rescuing the Galaxa Gems and the Frosted Stars, and Telemachus and Agent 7 are helping Neo Nexus Corp in exterminating the Typhonian Horde of Giants in the Kelp Dome, Camille arrives in Arowana Mall.

The Typhonized Giants each have a massive snake infesting their body along with sea slugs and hagfishes; their human features were morphed into claws, burnt, decaying flesh, deformed jaws, extra appendages, and other projections. Most of their iron and bronze armor that they were now bound to their body like graft.

Camille can see Cell wielding her Ink-Sword V2 along with Mercury wielding her Royal Splatter Pistols. Rasbel was with Cell and Mercury, staying close her mother and aunt; Vix was nowhere to be seen, and it seems Mercury is real worried. However, the Giants were blocking Mercury's path, preventing her from searching for Vix. They held out on one of the spawn points at one end of the mall.

How they were fighting the giants was quite simple: Mercury distracts while Rasbel stays close, and Cell attempts the get close to the Giant and make it fight blind against other giants.

Anteros arrived by Camille's side, and Hermes arrived late as he was busy with some errands he had to finish for people in Greece. Anteros had his brother's artifacts: A bow made out of a candlestick holder and arrows made of hearts and a pink metal. Hermes still had his winged helmet, winged sandals, and caduceus which are all his artifacts.

Agent 0 and Suzy arrived as well. Since Agent 0 is a Champion of Ares, he takes out Ares, Bronze Sword, twirls it, and set it on fire. Soon Agent 0 is in a bronze armor, blood-stained cape, black tunic, leather, and a gold helmet. He doesn't use Ares's Bronze Shield and instead uses his usual electric blade with the electricity now being red. Suzy carried a Krak-on Splat Roller on her back, and in her hands, she has a simple spear modified for combat and fishing.

Camille's group is on the other side of the mall.

"So how are we going to save them?" Suzy asked.

"Camille, think this through," Hermes advised, "It is very necessary that we--"

Camille already has her owl wings sprout from her back again and she sped through the mall without her team. Hermes sighed and looked to Agent 0 for a plan.

"You and Antero will lure the Giants away," Agent 0 ordered, "Suzy, I'll try to open a path for you so that you can help Camille."

"Understood." Suzy gave a nod.

Hermes's winged sandals turn into gold winged boots. "We'll do our best."

"Hold on, what about you?" Anteros questioned Agent 0.

"Doing the same thing: Luring the giants away." Agent 0 soon runs into the horde, distracting them from below and avoiding getting stepped on.

Camille arrived by Cell and Mercury's side. "Auntie Cell! Auntie Mercury! Where's Vix?"

Cell and Mercury didn't expect Camille to arrive at their aid in Olympian Form. Rasbel was amazed by Camille's new appearance with the bronze armor, white cape, a spear and shield, and owl wings.

"I'm trying to find him, but those giants are blocking the way," Mercury explained.

"And no matter how much were take one down at a time, we can't risk Rasbel's safety," Cell added.

"Camille, is that you?" Rasbel was looking at Camille's Olympian outfit.

"Call me the Champion of Zeus and Athena, and I'm here to save ya guys!" Camille twirls her spear and points it at a giant, zapping it with lightning. That horrid giant collapses.

"Woah..." Mercury is surprised.

"Athena and Zeus?" Cell knows a lot about the Greek Pantheon and the Mythology. "How did you...?

"I'll explain later," Camille answered.

Another horrid giant was charging at them, about to slam them with his fist. Suzy used the giant's bent back as a slope, and when she's on top of his head, she jumps up and stabs her spear into the giant. The giant's attack stops and it collapses with his arms focused on Suzy. Camille sends lightning bolts at the arms and helps finish off the giant. There were still more giants roaming in the mall.

Suzy and Camille regroup with Cell, Mercury, and Rasbel. Camille then thought about what she just said; she can get the three out of here because Vix is somewhere around the mall.

"Suzy, do you think you can get Rasbel and Auntie Cell out of here?" Camille asked. "I want to help Mercury find Vix."

"I'll get them to safety," Suzy responded, "You go on and help Mercury find the child."

The sharkling agent began escorting Rasbel and Cell to the nearest exit, taking a quick passage to the center of the mall. The giants were distracted with Agent 0 slicing their ankles and Hermes running across the walls at full speed. Anteros was raining pink fire arrows at the titans, shooting directly at the hearts so that they can burn from the inside.

Camille soon picked up Mercury and carried her to the rooftops of the mall to make it easier to locate Vix.

"To think Vix would just wander off into situations like this," Camille muttered.

"Well, you've watched over him before," Mercury remembers the time she left Camille to babysit Vix.

"Heh... now that you mention it..." There was a smile on Camille's face, but she shakes her head. "We should be searching."

"He could be anywhere." Mercury began jumping from roof to roof.

Camille follows her, catching up. "I assume you don't need an explanation of what's really going on?"

"All I know is that my son wandered over to this mall, some unusual meteor crashed nearby, and these Giants appeared afterward." Mercury was too focused on searching for Vix.

"You gotta control Vix-y, Auntie Mercury," Camille replied.

Mercury stopped at the end of the rooftops. "I wish I could..." She turns towards Camille. "I don't want to see him hurt in times like this." At least she's aware that there's some kind of war.

"We'll find him, I'm sure of it," Camille assured.

Soon something appeared rising from hiding and stands in front of Camille and Mercury. At first, the creature was taller than the giants; however, to make up the height, it stands with its back bent. It had a face of Cthulhu and a thin body of a skeleton. It was clad in in iron steel, and rags with a helmet of a Spartan. From its metal ribcage, the chest and torso beneath it is flesh-twisted with rags and unusual hagfish tails dangling from unnoticeable openings. The arms and legs were covered in cryptic tattoos; its eyes are a terrifying yellow with red around the lids. In its right hand, it wielded a rusty battle-scarred sword.

((Author's note For better visuals of this massive creature, see this: http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/patapon/images/6/6b/OGj5hXx69fkphf4eSl7P6oq8qE4RJYM6.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20110408083428 ))

The unusual giant stared at the two carefully. Camille prepared Athena's Spear; Mercury stepped back with her Splatter Pistols. The giant stood straight and raised his sword up high.

"He's going crush us!" Camille quickly tackled Mercury, and they end up on another roof.

The building the giant attack end up breaking in two and collapsing. The giant was still targeting Camille and Mercury. It turned slightly to face them and he raises his foot and stomping on the next building the crush. Again, Camille and Mercury managed to evade.

"We can't just let it do that," Mercury warned, "It'll destroy the entire mall."

"Wait..." Camille narrows her eyes at the giant and noticed something. "Mercury on the plumes of the giant's helmet!" She pointed her spear at the plume.

At appear Vix's random wandering lead him to end up on top of a giant's head.

"Vix!" Mercury called out.

Camille offered to retrieve the boy, but as she took off to flies towards the Giant's head, the giant swats her away like a fly. Camille ends up crashing into a window, receiving minor cuts. Mercury runs over to pick up Camille and get her to safety.

With the presence of this taller giant, the other giants were already retreating to the meteor they came out of which was actually a fortress with geometric structures. Hermes, Anteros, and Agent 0 turned their attention to the taller giant. Suzy managed to get Cell and Rasbel out of the Mall; they were waiting for Camille to be back with both Mercury and Vix.

"That seems taller than those we fought here," Agent 0 commented.

"Porphyrion the Gigantus," Hermes replied to Agent 0, "A well-known giant veteran of the Gigantomachy..... strange he hasn't succumbed to Typhon's influence....yet."

The Gigantus stands straight again and body slams in the building that Camille and Mercury are in, destroying the structure. Once it got back up, it enters the mall with nothing in its way.

Mercury managed to get Camille away and regroup with Agent 0, Anteros, and Hermes. She also grabbed a first aid kit just in case. When she puts Camille down, several items spilled from Camille's inventory: Artemis's Antler Crown, Apollo's Bow and Lyre, an empty scabbard made of Nemean Lion skin, The Gorgon Shield, Mnemosyne's Amulet, and Phoebe's Scripture. Athena's Spear (With Zeus's Thunderbolt inside) was still in Camille's hands.

Agent 0 walks over and knelt down. "What happened?"

"We were trying to look for my son, Camille saw him on that giant's head," Mercury explained, "She tried to rescue him, but the giant just swatted her, thinking she was attacking head-on."

Hermes made sure the Gigantus didn't come in close; otherwise, he would need to distract it.

Even though Mercury managed to patch up the cuts caused by broken shards of glass, Anteros attempted to "revive" Camille.

"I don't think that's enough, we need to provide more medical treatment!" Anteros suggested. "Wait, I got it! CPR!"

"Anteros, I don't think--" Agent 0 warned, but Antero just went on ahead.

Anteros gets close to Camille's face, about to perform it. However, Camille regains consciousness and sees Anteros attempt to perform CPR, mistaking that he was going to kiss her. She quickly hit him with the blunt blue shield, Aegis, again.

"What is wrong with you!?!" Camille screamed, squirming back in disgust.

"Owww... I thought you needed CPR," Anteros groaned.

"From a squid like you! Gross!" Camille wanted to kill him even if he is a deity. "The next time you try to do that, you're dead!"

Mercury shakes her head at Anteros. Agent 0 just sighs.

Camille took a deep breath, getting on one knee as she recovers. She then noticed the items that spilled out. She picks them back up and puts them back in her inventory. She then got back on her feet, using Athena's spear as support.

"Tch. It'll take that giant more than just one swat to knock me out like that." Camille takes a deep breath.  "I can see messenger-boy is already distracting him..." Electricity emitted from Athena's spear. "Can't wait to jam this into its brain."

"I think you can take Porphyrion down, Camille," Anteros complemented, "Athena fought the giant, Enceladus, and she buried his so deep into the earth, Sicily was created."

"She did what now??" Camille raised an eyebrow.

"She buried him under the Earth and ended up creating the island of Sicily," Anteros repeated.

"Athena sounded like a badass," Agent 0 commented, "Did you know about this, Camille?"

Camille didn't know that side of Athena. Then again, she knew Athena turned a weaver into a spider, blinded a love interest into an oracle, and fought with her mother and aunt over a gold apple. In response to Agent 0's question, she shook her head.

Hermes returns and stretches. His gold boots revert back to winged sandals. "Man, what a marathon."

Porphyrion the Gigantus steps closer with its back still bent; he was still targeting Camille. Anteros prepared Eros's Bow and aimed his heart-burning arrows at the Giant. But as Anteros fires at the skeletal chest, it only hit the steel rib cage that clads the chest and torso. Any arrows at actually hit the flesh didn't sink in and try to literally set the heart on fire. The Gigantus just didn't feel the arrows hit him.

"What???" Anteros didn't know what went wrong.

"I already tried that, but Porphyrion just couldn't stagger," Hermes informed.

"Then we take him down physically!" Camille looked to Mercury. "You think you can get to the top of his head?"

Mercury has parkour a lot in her lifetime, but performing it to climb a giant is some else.  She was sort of hesitant, but she prepped herself for do what seems to be the impossible.

"I can parkour my way up there... never tried this before.... maybe with an octoweapon once, but I'll try with this scenario." Mercury actually had to do whatever it took to save Vix.

Camille looks to Hermes and Anteros. "Distract the giants." Camille looked at Agent 0. "You're with me." Camille looked to Mercury. "I'll get you to a roof."

Camille began flapping her owl wings, grabbed Mercury's arms, and started carrying her to a roof that's closest to Porphyrion. Agent 0 follow the two to that roof. Meanwhile, Anteros and Hermes were keeping Porphyrion’s eyes focused on them so that Camille, Mercury and Agent 0 can get close, rescue Vix, and defeat the Gigantus.

"Alright! Let's do this!" Camille raised Athena's spear up high before taking off in flight.

(( Background music Porphyrion the Gigantus: https://youtu.be/6LIcyvIJlAM )

Mercury backed up carefully before increasing speed to jump towards the Gigantus. She manages to land on the lower back of the creature and runs up the spine to reach the head. Agent 0 did the same and followed Mercury.

Once they were on his back, hedron walls grew from his back and obstructing their way to its head. Mercury actually gets around them with ease thanks to her parkour skills, running, jumping, climbing, and swinging. Agent 0 does the same using his blades to cut down obstacles that might slow him down.

In addition, large parasitic worms are spawning out to eliminate Mercury and Agent 0. And whenever Porphyrion crouches, raises it's foot or stands straight to deliver an attack, Mercury and Agent 0 needed to anchor themselves to the back to avoid falling off.

Camille just had to fly away from the Gigantus' sight, and she made sure Mercury and Agent 0 get to the top of Porphyrion's head. She had to swoop down and strike at the parasitic worms in order to protect Mercury and Agent. If she used lightning attacks frequently on Porphyrion, it would be aware of the distraction.

When Agent 0 and Mercury reached the shoulder blades, they made one huge leap to get on the plume. They're finally on the head, and Mercury made her away towards Vox and picks him up.

"Who there?" The hair on Vix's head forms a question mark.

"Don't worry, Vix," Mercury whispered, "Mommy's here to save you."

"But I don't feel like I'm in danger," Vix replied.

"Mercury, we gotta go!" Agent 0 warned.

The parasitic worms spawning from Porphyrion's back were drawing close. Camille flies in to help carry Vix to a roof that Mercury would parkour her way to. After Mercury makes one more giant leap to reach the roof, Camille carried Vix over to Mercury so that they can escape Arowana Mall. Camille nods to Agent 0, and he is obliged to set fire to the plume, and after that, he gets off the Porphyrion's back and breaks his fall by anchoring his swords to a wall.

Porphyrion the Gigantus was now trying to put out the fire on his helmet plume. Camille raises her spear up again and clouds gather to cover the nightly sky. Then pillars of thunder descended, hitting the back of Porphyrion and stripping him of his steel armor, revealing a flesh of latticed blood red and a rib cage full of hagfishes and sea slugs.

Anteros can now fire Eros's heart-burning and heart-breaking arrows at the Gigantus, breaking the rib cage and its vital organs. When Porphyrion swings his rusty sword down, Hermes uses it to run up the Gigantus's arm and disarms it. Agent 0 left huge gashes on the ankles and made Porphyrion get on one knee.

Camille delivered the final blow, flying upwards with the moon behind her.

Cell, Rasbel, and Mercury can see Camille in the sky. Vix is not aware that Camille is flying since he's blind. Suzy was amazed by the sight of the fight.

Camille puts away Athena's spears and takes out Apollo's Bow. She never fires a bow before and she had only one glass arrow to use. She pulls the arrows back and aimed for Porphyrion's helmet. She releases it and the arrows forms into a green comet, striking the helmet and shattering it.

Camille puts the bow away and takes out the antler crown. She sighed and holds it close with Athena's spear. She carefully folds the owl wings on her back and flies downwards towards Porphyrion. As Camille swoops down, she left a glowing trail of green and blue ink. She points Athena's spear straight at the head, timing it with Porphyrion moving his head up to stare at the charging Camille.

Then there was a flash, and a blue lightning and a green lightning strike Porphyrion's head. When the brightness dims, the Gigantes staggered and then laid on his back, giving an exhausted breath. Blue and Green ink covered the Arowana Mall's turf.

Camille lands gently at the center of the mall and reverts back to her normal form, wearing her casual clothes. Everyone that was there gathered to congratulate Camille, but she collapses in exhaustion.

Soon Agent 7, Telemachus and Neo-Nexus Corp arrived after containing the Typhonian Horde in the Kelp Dome.

Two days left until the final battle.
