The Olympian: Children of the Gods (Limited Series) #3

CALVIN CITY - AN APARTMENT COMPLEX
This issue picks-up right where the previous one leaves off. Drawing her knife, Euryale is about to plunge it into the Olympian’s back when an object hurtles at her at terrific speed, knocking her out of the panel—the Cybernaut leaping at her with bionic power!

Ixion prepares to engage the government agent, but instead disappears into that cloud of smoke again. Cybernaut rushes to the window he knocked Euryale through, and she was nowhere to be found three floors below – the pair of monsters had made their retreat. Cybernaut turns to Olympian, and removes the arrow (by pulling it through his leg). Alex comes-to soon afterwards, glad to see that he got some help.

After introductions are made, the agent inquires as to why the arrow had him out, to which he replies “It was enchanted to do just that.” Cybernaut explains that he is on the trail of a group of missing children, snatched by what appears to be some kind of black ops outfit called “RED SKY." According to his intelligence, they send small teams of men using tranquilizer guns to kidnap specific children. The Olympian believes that there’s a connection between that and the appearance of the superhumans they fought. Agreeing, Cybernaut says that he believes that there are people with the means to perform such an operation in Calvin City and that the two should check it out.

CALVIN CITY - CLOCKWERK (an elite nightclub in the financial district)
The two heroes barge into the crowded club where Cybernaut explains that this is a holding of the Sazia Crime Family (something Olympian knows something about), the group Cybernaut believes could know something about what’s going on with the kids. Within moments, goombas in black suits outfitted with ray guns attack the two heroes, weapons Olympian’s partner recognizes as old H.I.V.E. technology. The heroes take the shooters out fairly quickly, but some duck into the door of the office seen in the epilogue to issue #1.

The Olympian and Cybernaut move to intercept them, but instead of the office seen in the previous issue they’re both plunged into a swirling darkness plagued with a sinister laughter as the issue ends…
