Kip. 13: Pride vs. Pride

13

Leonidas destroys the Apollo statue and marches with 300 Spartans to face Xerxes in a losing effort at the Battle of Thermopylae. Leonidas reveals his shield, which changes into a chain & sawblade that knocks Apollo back. Apollo gracefully dodges the second strike using his divine treasure: the thread of Artemis, which he uses to create a pair of gauntlets that land several direct hits. After overhearing the crowd question his fighting tactics, Apollo shortens the arena boundaries to taunt Leonidas into facing him head-on. Apollo uses his threads to ensnare Leonidas and delivers a finishing blow, but Leonidas survives and headbutts Apollo before smashing him into a kneeling position. (Source: Wikipedia)
