The battle for Rome pt. 1
Thalia's POV
I lightning travel to the throne room to find all the Olympians there discussing. They stopped the moment I appeared and I quickly bowed to my father.
"Father the Romans are under attacked!" I exclaimed.
"I know my child we're discussing how many reinforcements to send to aid them." he stated. Suddenly the doors opened and came my brother dressed in full armor accompanied by his soldiers that came with him.
"Father, he said as he bowed, "my soldiers are ready to help my brethren and to find who was responsible for this attack." he said.
"The one who did this is Simon son of Ares he's the one who arranged this attack." said Athena. I saw my brother's eyes go wide in surprise and anger but before he could speak, the doors opened again and Percy walked in. He was dressed still in that bronze armor with wave design, and he's followed by his Trojans all dressed for combat and armed to the teeth. He kneeled towards Zeus and stood up.
"Lord Zeus my Trojans and I wish to help the Romans in battle." he said calmly. Zeus was going to say something but Athena cut in.
"Father we can't, we don't know if they're trustworthy and can hinder us." said Athena rather coldly and harshly. I saw Poseidon eyes turn green in anger and Zeus noticed this and surprisingly touched his brother in the shoulder. Poseidon looked at Zeus and something passed between them that made Poseidon relax his glare.
"Very well Perseus prepare for deployment when the back-up force is completed." stated Zeus. Percy nodded said something to Beckendorf and left quickly the throne room. Meanwhile Athena was throwing a tantrum.
"Father why are you ignoring my counsel, we don't know if these Trojans will betray us an-" Whatever she was going to say was cutoff as Zeus summoned his master bolt to his side.
"Enough Athena, your hate for these Trojans are blinding your judgment, this warriors are our allies not our enemies! Control yourself or I shall do it!" he said.
Athena shut up at once and was looking away and honestly I can't blame her, she may be the goddess of wisdom but even she will fall at the hands of Zeus. And is true she just want to cause problem, but she'll get over it one way or the other.
Percy's POV
I hurried to the fountain that the Olympians use to Iris message. Once there I did the routine.
"Oh Iris goddess of the rainbow, show me Will Solace in Troy." I said. And just like that Will appeared in the rainbow.
"Will!" I said. He looked up to his surprise.
"Percy where've you been?" he asked.
"I'm on Olympus with the others listen quickly." I said, he nodded and I continued. "I need you to take the mercenary regiment and the Macedonian regiment to this coordinates." I said and quickly told him the directions.
"Why Percy?" he asked.
"Cause we're going to help some allies and those two are our fastest and strongest cavalry force and you're going to need the speed if you're to make it to help the Romans, I'll be there joining the Olympian forces so you're going to be in charge, let Leo and Katie in charge of Troy, got it?" I said. He nodded and left to complete my orders.
I waved my hand in front of the image and left to join the others. I returned to the throne room to find some of the Olympian forces in the place. I did a head count of the force, they were fifty in total, that included my Trojans and the Romans. I wonder why so few?
"Why so few?" I asked Jason.
"The reason is cause we're just going to hold the fortress until the Roman army returns from the borderline." answered Jason. That was kinda risky but before I could point it out Zeus waved his hand and everything went blurred.
Third Person POV
The coup would have achieved greater results if it wasn't for that faun that saw the army. Now they had to face the defenses of the Roman troops that sealed the fortress. Even being greatly outnumbered they still held on attacking and weakening the enemy lines, but more came.
It had been hours since Reyna praetor of the second Legion sent the distress call and until those forces come they must hold on no matter what. Meanwhile amongst the enemy the traitor Simon son of Mars was leading his rogue Romans alongside the second in command of the Fallen Ethan Nakamura son of Nemesis.
He had join the Fallen to get the respect he deserved and he would show all those that mocked him his wrath. But suddenly he heard a cry from the fortress. "Jason, Jason, Jason…" he had returned. Things have just turned complicated . Thought Simon.
Jason's POV
We appeared in the center of the palace surrounded by injured people and others on guard. One of them removed their helm and walked towards me, it was Reyna praetor of the second Legion.
"Jason thank goodness you're hear we're in a bind." she said.
"What's wrong?" I asked fearing the worst.
"The enemy has reached the main entrance of the palace, so far we've closed it up but it's only a matter of time before they breached it." she stated grimly.
"Then that's were we need to be at our strongest," I said and turned to the others, "Thalia you, Clarisse, and Annabeth take some warriors and protect the other entrances. Percy you and me we'll take some of our forces and we'll meet the enemy at the front, the rest will back us up as archers." I finished getting a nod from Percy who began telling his Trojans their duties.
After that we went to the front of the gate, once there I spotted in the front lines former Roman soldiers, I recognize a few and hated that I was going to fight them. I felt a hand on my shoulder and saw Percy looking at me as if he read my mind. Shaking my head from my thoughts I unsheathed my sword and ordered the gates to be opened.
"Their armors is weak at the neck and the sides, and are strong in the front and back so beware you'll find no mercy from them." I told the Trojans of our armors weak and strong points as the enemy came at us.
"FOR OLYMPUS!" I cried as I began to clash with the enemy.
And cliffhanger. Decided to put a bit of Jason there seeing as he'll lead this fight. Also though it's a bit early in my profile you'll see the changes that Percy's sword and armor will have, so far I need to find it's final form. Also you'll see the women's armor too and Thalia's in the profile since hers is a bit different. So enjoy review cause the best is yet to come.
