Eventually I had to leave my uncles as my school was threatening to hold me back.They tried once after the first two weeks but apparently my teachers got me more time.Of course I knew why they did this.None of them wants me a year longer than necessary.I grin at the thought.

I decide to run back home to stretch a little even if I am about 12 miles from home.I could probably do it in a few minutes but I want to practice with using my Inari knives (still thinking of a good name) as a means to travel faster.Since the chain can expand half a mile I decided to go at it Spiderman style.

It didn't go so well.....I fell a few times,broke quite a few high up windows,and may have speared a bird or ten.Maybe it's better as a grappling hook.Inari laughed the whole time calling me a dumbass and Alita actually agreed!Since when are these two so god damn chummy!I need to pit them against each other soon being out numbered isn't good for my health.

When we do get back my father gives me a hug and says welcome home.Then he heads off to work.Mom is in the kitchen making me some breakfast but leaves shortly after.The boys are already at school which unfortunately I have to go tomorrow.

"I wonder what Cindy is going to do when I show up?"I ponder out loud and start dividing up my breakfast so Alita and Inari will stop giving me death glares.

Satisfied that they got their shares they then tell me not to worry about it.If it was going to be a problem then it already would be.

After breakfast we go up to my room.I sigh and decide to just go for and stand in the circle,activate my holy energy, and teleport us to the training area.

Inari and Alita are both surprised."You actually brought us here of your own free will?"They both say simultaneously.

"I need to get used to the weapons and if my last battle was any indication I need to get better at using my abilities.Maybe explore them more or strengthen my body so that it can handle the stress of my powers better.Mom and dad will be back at about 6 so we got about 10 hours (20 here) for a good start.However don't read into this to much we will not be training at night."I say to them.

"Why not if we train more you would be more prepared?"Inari asks.

"Simple while I see the merit in it whats the point if I keep trying to get out of it?Both of you have to agree that your attempts so far haven't been all that great.I mean im still a shit fighter.The only thing we have managed really is that I can dodge fairly well and I developed a danger (oh shit) sense."I explain.

"So what do you want to do?"Alita asks.I can tell they both understand that their attempts haven't worked out so well.

"Well my idea is to first spar with each of you with the weapons.If I understand right you guys can give me pointers and help my actions along right?(They both nod surprised I figured that part out.)Good this way I can figure out my own way to fight and if you two guide my actions we can reach a decent point."I finish

"Well it's not exactly "guiding" all our knowledge on fighting will be in your head you just need to have your body pick up the movements.Honestly like this you should improve by leaps and bound.You should use your eyes more though.And before you say anticipating your opponents should be better you need to understand that if you can see it coming you can dodge it.Ash you have eyes better than even Inari and I so it would be best to use them."Alita explains.

"Oh and before I forget you should cycle your holy energy throughout your body constantly not only will it make your stronger it will slowly strengthen your body as a whole and increase the amount of holy energy you can use."She adds

"Sure you just don't want to see me grow wings?"I ask with a raised eyebrow.

"It's not fair that you have kitsune parts and not Angel."She says with a pout.

I laugh then ask her to change into the gloves.Then I turn to Inari and tell her no killing and to keep her strength to about 1.5 my own.She agrees and we get started.

At first Inari slapped me around like a doll but slowly I started to get the knowledge they were talking about.Alita mastered several martial arts and soon I was blocking and countering with a multitude of different styles switching to a fro with ease.Alita said that the fighting style I was using is one she developed and it uses

Keysi,Aikido, and Brazilian ju-jitsu.

It took about 12 hours but I started to get the hang of close combat thanks to the holy energy I kept circulating the whole time without it my results would've been much worse.Alita said that after a few weeks of time in here I should be able to fight at a competent level.For now though I shouldn't try head to head unless as a last resort.Then I decided to spend the rest of the time getting a start on using the bow and shield aspect.

We decide the shield part first as it's more important as far as my survival goes.Inari gets ready and starts striking out at me I try blocking repeatedly but she shatters my shields every time.

"Ash you have to focus don't just throw up the shield all willy nilly.You need to adjust the power for each hit.It will take some practice but trust me its worth it.For now though establish a base level of power and adjust accordingly."Alita speaks in my head.

After seven hours I managed a somewhat decent shield.It's not going to take a punch from any decent power based supers but it will deflect small caliber bullets and sharp weapons.

During the last hour all of us were exhausted decided to take a rest before leaving."You know Ash you are a lazy bastard and a bit of a pervert but sometimes you actually have good ideas there was actually some improvement."Inari says.

"Thanks?"Can't she praise me with oh I don't know actual praise?

"No problem"She says.

Guess thats a no.

After our rest we get up to leave I draw on my power to go back and then The girls and I start to scream in agony.

======================================================================================

Goddesses

"Why is it affecting him as well?"Laverna asks.

"It must be because those two fused part of his soul into themselves when they made the weapons.The parts they used are affecting him.If we go to fast we may do permanent damage so he is going to have to suffer a little more."Artemis said.

"We must make sure he comes out okay otherwise this is for nothing."Postverta says.

"Those two damn nuisances!How dare they use part of his soul!"Laverna snarls.

======================================================================================

Alita

This feeling it's got to be a higher being but who?With all of our souls together like this we should be shielded from any deity.Inari and both made sure our gods couldn't even scry for him.Ash should be for all intents and purposes a dead zone.

"Alita it's got to be one of the blessers.They are the only ones with connections right?"Inari ask me with a pained expression.

"No it can't be we would know if it was then.Their blessing would disappear once they attacked him.This is someone else someone who is connected-

"Thats it!"Inari yells.

I look at her in confusion."Don't you get it who is more connected to Ash out of all the gods?"Inari says.

Then it hits me."Of course!"I turn to Ash and see him lying on the ground pain clear across his face.I then connect to him in our bond.

====================================================================================

Ash

"Ash!Ash!"I hear Alita's voice in my head.The pain is so intense I can't even reply it is taking everything I have to stay conscious.

"Ash the one doing this is Laverna you have to reject her hold on you!You must accept another god!"I hear her scream.I try to ask how but I don't know if it worked.

She must have picked it up because next she said."This will only work if another god accepts you luckily you have several blessing!"I hear and am confused several?What am I a toy?

"Out of all your blessings you should pick Rhea don't try arguing shes the only one thats neutral!Im going to tell you what to say!You must say this outloud I know its hard but try!"I hear her plea.

Then she says what to say in my head.I grit my teeth and block out as much of the pain as possible."I Ash Falls here by give up my connection to the goddess know as Laverna and instead place my right of judgement into the hands of the Goddess known as Rhea!"I yell out with a scream.Then I see a flash and then darkness.

=====================================================================================

Goddesses

All of a sudden they were watching Ash then they heard his chant and paled.

"NOOOOOOOO!"Laverna screamed however she was to late.A flash happened and then a blast of power erupts forth knocking all of the goddesses flying in different directions all of them look at the screen gold blood flowing from their heads and mouths.

======================================================================================

"Well well now this is something I didn't see coming."
