Chapter 10:
Mount Tartarus: Immortals
One of the Olympians was dead. The Titans were now ganging up on the gods. Three to four Titans on each god. One of the gods distracted by the Titan infront of him. Hermes used his whip to try and kill on of the three Titans infront of him but a Titan from behind used it's war hammer and smashed it into Hermes' back. One of the other Titans grabbed the whip and pulled sending Hermes flying. Another Titan grabbed him and impaled him with it's blade. He gasped for his last breath as he slowly died.
Persephone tried to avoid one of the Titans but was pinned against a wall and then thrown into a sharp peice of black steel that stuck out of the cage. The peice went into her chest. She cried in pain slowly died.
The Titans were getting ruthless. They wanted more blood. They wanted more dead gods. Hestia threw some more knives. She was fighting more Titans then before. They rushed at her quicker then before. One Titan, before he was hit, threw his own blade. The blade slide into Hestia.
She staggered back as the blade went into her stomach. She gasped as a Titan hit her in the back with a hammer. The blade slid out but another Titan stabbed her in the heart. One of the original Olympians has fallen.
Kronos laughed as his children and grandchildren struggled to kill any Titan that came at them.
Ares bought down his labrys and and chopped a Titan in half. Athena Dionysus came up behind Ares to back him up. He punched a Titan in the face and broke his skull.
Apollo sliced a Titan's stomach. It's entrails spilled on to the cave floor and the blood splattered the cage. The warm immortal blood dripped from where the blood hit.
Poseidon cut a half Titan in half with his trident and then impaled another. Athena came up behind a Titan and cut it's head off and then stabbed another Titan that came up behind her.
Nyx used her sythe to chop a Titan's head off while Eberus used his morning star to crush a Titan's chest and then skull. Hades wrapped the chain around a Titan's head and then pulled him near him. Hades used his other chain's blade and stabbed the Titan in it's face.
Artemis was going throught her arrows fast. She got one arrow out of her quiver and stabbed a Titan with it and then threw it by hand at another Titan. As she pulled out another arrow, a Titan hit her with a war hammer and grabbed the arrow from her hand. He used the arrow and impaled her with it. The arrow went straight threw her heart. The golden tip came out through her back. Covered in blood. She fell to the floor groaning.
"Artemis!" Apollo yelled. He raced towards his dieing sister. He cut and sliced Titans that got in his way. Apollo's wrath was something that should no one is safe from. He knelt down and checked on his sister.
"Apollo." She said weakly coughing up blood. Her last breaths past as Apollo teared up. He couldn't cry at this moment. The Titans were now wining. Apollo raised his sword once more and yelled out a war cry that usually Athena or Ares would yell.
Demeter impaled another Titan. There were to many and she wasn't fast enough. A Titan stabbed her in her leg and took her spear. He impaled her with her own spear. The spear went from the bottom of her stomach all the way to the top in a deadly angel.
Kronos laughed. He enjoyed the blood that was being spilled. The gods did not stand a chance. It was over for them.
Nyx was having trouble killing the Titans. Her weapon wasn't made for facing off against many enemies. As she cut a Titan across it's chest. Another Titan slammed a war hammer against her back which drove her into a knife that one of the Titans picked up from Hestia. The knife didn't go in deep but it did hurt her. Eberus rushed towards his wife but a Titan sliced at his leg. The wound was above the knee. The shadow god turned himself into shadows and rushed towards his wife once more and left Mount Tartarus leaving the remaining gods to their fates.
Hades easily picked off the Titans. His chain blades cutting into the Titans. Kronos watched this. Hades, Zeus, and Poseidon were always powerful. Together no Titan could stop them except himself. Kronos grabbed his sword and head towards his first target. Hades.
Before reaching Hades, Hera got in his way. His lovely daughter walked up to him with her bloody blades raised.
"Well, Hera. What a lovely surprise to see you still alive. I would have thought you would have joined your older sister." Kronos mocked. Throught her helmet Kronos could see Hera sneer.
"What do you plan on doing my daughter? Kill me? You aren't strong enough."
"But I can do this." Hera rushed at him. Kronos raised his sword and watched his daughter impale herself into it. She gasped as the blade went into her stomach.
"And what was that?" Kronos asked with a smile.
"It was for this." Kronos felt something cold and sharp go into his stomach. He looked down to see Hera's balde in his stomach. His daughter sacrificed herself to hurt him and make it easier for Zeus to stop him.
Zeus watched in horror as Kronos' sword poked out of his wife's back. Her body fell to the floor and so did Kronos. Two Titans rushed at him. He threw his two swords and watched as the two swords went into the skulls of the Titans. Zeus was ready to unleash his rage.
Hades sent his chain flying as it wrapped around a Titan's neck and watched as it struggle for breath. What he didn't see was a Titan behind him. The Titan tried to stab him but only cut his back. Pain radiated all through his body. Hades made himself into shadows and retreated.
Now only six gods remained. Zeus, Poseidon, Apollo, Ares, Athena, and Dionysus. They were the only ones left to fight the last seventeen Titans. This time it was up to Zeus.
In his rage he sent a lightning bolt at on of the Titan. The Titan's body exploded. Blood and gore splashed the walls and floor. Zeus sent more lightning bolts at the reaming Titans. They experienced the same fate as the other Titan.
Zeus roared in anger as one Titan other then Kronos remained. He walked up to the frighten Titan that dropped it's weapon. Zeus grabbed the Titan by it's throat and shoved him against the wall. Pinning him there. Zeus shoved his hand into the Titan's throat and ripped most of it out. The Titan's body slumped to the floor. Zeus looked at his bloody hand.
He walked over to his dieing wife. Her breathing was ragged. She wasn't going to hold on any longer. Zeus removed his helmet and knelt next to her.
"Hera." Zeus said. Tears flowed from his eyes.
"Zeus. Stay strong. We still need you. They still need you." Hera said cupping her husband's cheek.
Zeus nodded and watched as Hera struggled to breath for the last time. Zeus cried as she slowly closed her eyes and lay still.
Athena picked up the Bow. "Father. I'll hide the Bow." Athena turned into a ray of light and left Tartarus. The other gods watched as Zeus, the king of gods, cry over his dead wife. Poseidon and Ares both sheded tears as they saw Hera dead.
Zeus heard a small gasp. He looked over to Kronos' body. He was still alive. Zeus rage peaked. He wanted to crush Kronos under his heel and watch his head pop under his foot. He walked over to the body of his weak father. He was about to lift his foot when he got another idea.
"I won't kill you Kronos." He could hear his children and brother gasp.
"And why not?" Kronos asked weakly.
"Because, death is an escape and you don't deserve an escape. You deserve to suffer for your crimes. For one year you will be human. After that year I will personaly see to your death." With those words a white light erupted from his hands. The bright light engulfed Kronos.
Once the light disappeared, Kronos' wound was gone. His immortality was also gone. But only for a year. This couldn't happen to him. Kronos screamed in frustration.
"No god will come to your aid." Zeus spat before leaving Kronos and heading to Mount Tartarus.
Kronos was on his own and now he was human. Mortal. No longer the immortal Titan king he once was. It was over.
Now I know some of the deaths sound the same but I was running out of ideas. Now there is only one last chapter before I add the next story in the Dawn of War trilogy. Dawn of War: Titanomacy. I've also decided to add a fourth story to this that will be the last story in the trilogy. It will be called Dawn of War: War of the Gods. I decided to write the story because yesterday I saw Wrath of the Titan and liked a little of the story line. The movie was okay. So that will make five stories in the Dawn of War trilogy if you add Dawn of War: Rebellion. Also my birthday is on April 11. So I am going to add a new chapter to all of my stories. So if you like any of the others that aren't Dawn of War. Check it out.
