Olympus 10: Titan of Time! Lord Chronos!- Dave is walking to Olympi, his arm injured, but trying to stay in good spirits as he tries to fight off the pain. He see's the girl he met in the park a few days ago and approaches her for their planned date. "Hey Sara, how's it going?" "Oh, hi Dave. Say, what happened to your arm?" "Oh, well it was a biking accident yesterday and-" "Are you alright?" "I'm fine actually- urgh, gyah, urgh. I really am." "You don't have to lie to me Dave. Go home and get better, you shouldn't be out in this condition. Let's reschedule for another day." "That sounds good. Urgh, goodbye."

Mr. Hitsugaya is busy at work putting Olympi back together as Dave comes in still reeling from the last battle. Demi, concerned asks " Why are you here? You should be at home resting." Dave, in pain says " Don't worry it's getting, ergh, better." "You still look terrible, you should at least sit down and relax." "Ok." Hera asks "Dave, why are you here so early?" "I'd rather be here than at my house where my dad will use this as an excuse to send somewhere far away." Demi replies "Dave, it's your father, I'm sure he loves you." "You don't understand, my father's the coldest person on the planet, even to his own son. He tries to do everything he can to make me change who I am to become like him. He didn't support me when Jamie died and I think deep down he was glad I wasn't dating a boy." Demi goes to the couch at the center of the room where Dave is and starts touching his wound. "It hurt's when you touch it like that." "Sorry, I need to apply more alcohol to it." "Ergh. That stings." "Relax, calm down, I know it hurts, just try not to move anymore." The others walk in around this time. Miki immediately goes to Dave's side. "Look, I'm extremely sorry for what I said a few days ago to you Dave." "You don't have to-" "I mean it. What I said was uncalled for and needlessly harsh. I don't need to be angry or malicious to my friends, I need to be those things to the Titan's." Miki then gives an encircling hug to Dave as Demi treats his arm. "You're so understanding, it's almost therapeutic." "There we go, you just get better there Dave, our little tough guy." Kai rolls his eyes and scoffs as Miki calls him out. "Hey, what's your problem." Kai just walks away as Shun tries to follow him. "Hope you get better soon Dave." "I'm trying." "Great to hear, Kai wait up." The girls return to Dave. "That guy needs an attitude adjustment." "Yeah, he almost beat up Dave a few days ago." The two girls continue addressing grievances against Kai until Dave speaks up. "Ladies please, I'm sure Kai isn't all bad, just give him a chance. He's feeling a bit, umm, red at the moment-gyaah! AAAH!" A sharp sting of pain ran up his arm as Demi starts treating it again. Miki says "Huh, so that's how he's feeling."

Meanwhile Shun is trying to talk to Kai. "Hey buddy, mind telling me what's going on in that big head of yours?" "Nothing." "You know that never works right? Want to tell me what's really going on big boy?" "It's just, I don't understand." "Understand what? Women?" "It's not that. I just don't get why they're on top of him while I do everything I can to contribute, and I'm still treated as street trash by Miki and Demi." "That's a tough call. Again man, this image you have here, all it does is create bad vibes. You need to open up more. Besides, Dave's a nice guy, he's courteous, sensitive, would never hurt a fly, and he got himself injured trying to fight off the Titan's, arm kabobed and everything. What sensible girl wouldn't treat a wounded deer like that?" "Whatever." "Let me guess, you had a bit of a booboo yourself there?" "On my ankle, I got a slight burn pushing Gou out of Typhon's attack. It's still in pain, but I don't have Demi at my side 24/7 like he does." "Are you sure it's the burn, or is it the Demi at your side that's the problem?" Kai starts walking away. "There, I knew it." Amy walks outside "He'll come to eventually, don't worry Shun." "I want it sooner rather than later. This kind of tension could drive us apart." Kai immediately walks back. "Please don't tell Demi anything about what I said, please?" "Ok then. Deal. However, you need to be more honest with yourself." Back inside Demi unknowingly uses her healing powers to ease Dave's pain." "Wow, thanks Demi, it's starting to feel much better." "It is?" Miki replies "That's great Dave. Soon you'll be back to fighting shape and can show that Titan Red what for." "I'm not interested in vengeance. I saw a mix of different colors in his soul. He's hiding something himself, something very powerful." "Yeah, and we're going to kill him soon, right Demi?" "Oh, right. Yeah." "So Dave, how was your date?" "She made me change plans because of my injury but I'm sure it would have been a fine one." "Is she a good friend?" "Oh yes. Such a sweet, misunderstood soul. She practically emanates this aura of good feeling." "Umm Dave." "Yes Demi?" "Is she, pretty?" "Oh of course. She's got very nice hair kept in a ponytail and she also usually wears low cut shirts and-" Demi starts looking at herself in the mirror. "Umm no Demi. I'm not interested in her that way." "Oh, well ok. It's not like I thought you were." Dave tries smiling at that but the pain returns to his arm.

Back at Mt. Olympus, Chrono is preparing for his arrival to Japan, his three generals getting ready. "You're looking quite spiffy there Lord Chronos." "Thank you Typhon." "One more potion Lord Chronos." "Why thank you. This will help me greatly. Tetsu, dear boy, come over here." "Yes lord." "I need you to go find the new Godbeast that has appeared. Your titan changer should be able to find it somewhere. It will prove most valuable to us." "And it will help me get closer to finding my father. Then I'll get my two purposes in life fulfilled." "That's my boy. I know you could do this." "I won't let you down." As Tetsu leaves, Asteria and Typhon groan with disgust. "I can't believe that human is carrying more favor than us." "I'll crush him one of these days. I'll burn him to a-" "A what, Typhon?" "Oh, l-lord Chronos, I'd never burn one of our teammates." "You'd sure as hell cut and run from one of them though." "But sir-" "I don't want to hear it. As far as I'm concerned you're the worst of us." Asteria tries butting in. "But lord Chronos." "However, you don't have to be pathetic Typhon. Make yourself stronger for our cause." "Of course sir." "Good. Cause one of these days the Joutengers will kill you for your weakness when Tetsu can't bail you out." "Yes sir." "Let's be out. I have a meeting with my grandchildren."

Just as everyone comes in to settle down, the computer alarm goes off. "Trouble. Guys, I'm getting a reading five miles outside the city. It's a very large energy signature, so it's something beyond what we've seen before." "Yeah, well we can handle it. Let's go guys." All five team members prepare to morph as Miki stops Dave. "Dave, there is no way you're fighting in your condition. You're staying here." "But you guys-" "We'll be fine without you. Don't make me take your god changer. Hera, could you make sure Dave doesn't leave here?" "Sure thing child." Demi says "It's for your own good Dave." Dave, a bit saddened, says "Oh no, I understand, don't worry about lil old Dave." "Tell you what, when we come back, we'll treat you to some nice steak, how does that sound?" "Sounds good I guess." "You just wait here for us and watch us kick some ass Dave. Joutengers, move out!" "Bye guys." Dave goes to sulk on the couch as Hera approaches him. "They still think I'm worthless." "You aren't worthless." "I know them. They're holding back with me. They think I'm nothing but a spineless brat." Dave starts crying. "I-it's just th-that I know that I can g-get much stronger than what I am. I WANT TO PROVE MYSELF TO THEM!" He then starts sobbing uncontrollably. "It's not all that, don't be so silly Dave. Your teammates all love you very much, they've shown that to you." "They treat me like a child though. I get treated like I'm helpless and Kai resents me for it. I see it in his eyes, I'm nothing but a pansy and a weakling, I could never live up to the heroics of my ancestors, even though I try and try everyday of my life. I failed last time, and I'll probably fail again. Maybe my father was right, my life had been one giant failure." Dave starts sobbing uncontrollably as Amy speaks to Hera. "I think he just needs space. That's all he needs." "Sure thing." "Hey Dave?" "Y-yes?" "Do you want to watch the others do their thing and kick some ass?" "Yes. Yes I do. I'm sorry for-" "You don't need to be sorry, it's who you are."

Kai asks while they rush to the battlefield "You sure it was ok to leave Dave behind? I mean, he's still our fifth member." Demi replies "Are you dense? If he was to fight in his condition he'd probably die. I won't let that happen." Miki also replies "Relax Kai, us four should be more than enough to take on the Titans. As long as Titan Red isn't here." Shun interjects "Hey, maybe we should have taken Dave with us, you know incase of an emergency. He seems kind of down about everything going on to him." "Out of the question, it's too dangerous with his arm. We're his teammates, we have to protect him." "I understand, but he's just as important as the rest of us, we don't need to baby hi-" Demi immediately gets angry "Talk like that again and I'll break you." Kai retorts "Huh, so much for pacifism, huh?" "I'm not arguing with you two on this." "Demi is right. Nows not the time to be fighting each other." "Fine." "Yeah sure." As they run to the area outside the city, they encounter Typhon and Asteria. "Kokolos attack!" The four Demi Gods manage to fight off the Kokolos with no issue, and as they finish them off, Dave is watching from the control room with Hera and Amy. Hera says she feels very intense and that they need to be very careful for what's to come. Meanwhile, as the Joutengers prepare to fight the two Titans, Chronos makes his appearance from a clock-like portal. Miki asks "Who is that?" Shun also asks "Is that who I thin-" Typhon blasts the team with magma. "Learn some respect! This is our noble leader, your destructor, Lord Chronos!" Both him and Asteria bow. Asteria says "He's needed a few weeks to gather strength but our strong leader is ready to finish you off himself." Chronos rather calmly replies "Indeed. It is a most gracious honor to meet my grandchildren." "Be careful guys, he's the same Titan that ate his children and killed them on Olympus. He's obviously dangerous." "Hmm, it seems I have a following. Quite right my dear. Unfortunately, I'm not impressed. You all are nothing but a grim reminder of a mess that needs cleaning. Once you're out of the picture, there will be nothing left to stop me in conquering the Human world, and ushering in a new age of Titan domination. The time for Olympians is done. The age of Titan's is upon us all. You're in my way Joutengers!"

The Joutengers charge in full strength against Chronos using their weapons. Chronos at first takes the full hit. "So that's how it feels. That's nothing compared to what your parent's could do." Miki gets angry as well as Kai and Miki starts shooting lightning as Kai turns invisible. Shun prepares his earth attacks while Demi is starting to gather the local fauna. "Last I counted there were five of you bastards. Pink a bit under the weather?" "We're more than enough for you you disgusting demon." "Oh yellow, I am most offended. Demon maybe but disgusting? I figured you would have much more class than that." Demi asks "What is that supposed to mean?" "I mean you're all children at heart. Your inexperience with your powers makes you weak. Give it your best shot!" As lightning, plants, the ground and a barrage of stygian rock assaults him at once, he once again feels out the damage. "That hurt a bit. Might as well." He then all of a sudden turns back time 3 seconds. As the joutengers attacks come again he simply dodges and uses an energy attack with his scythe to blast the team back hard. He goes to them individually and revels in slashing them all in the back, one at a time. Kai says "He's way too fast for us to-." Demi yells "KAI!" Kai gets slashed hard in the back, knocking him out cold. Chronos gleefully yet calmly says "What a shame. Your strongest fighter out with one slash. I'd hate to see how the rest of you fare." "We'll see about that." She charges with her sword to duel him but he simply moves behind her, slashing her hard with his scythe. "Second strongest down. Who's next?" Shun, a bit hesitant, goes in with his trident and creates a wall of ice on his back to protect himself. "Clever boy. But still-" He slashes him directly in the front. "Your next child." Demi tries her best to hold her ground with her vines coming to surround her. "If you try to come near me, my vines will ensnare you." "Your mistake was telling me that girl." Chronos uses his time rewind five seconds to where she started amassing vines. "Too slow." He slashes her hard in the front. The Titan's stand victorious as the Joutengers struggle to even move, horrifying everybody in Olympi, especially Dave.

Dave goes to walk to the exit but Hera orders him not to leave. "You're staying here whether you want to or not!" "If I don't assist, Chronos will surely kill them. I can't just sit here like a lump while my friends are in danger." "I know it feels awful, but you can't fight with that arm." "I don't care. I have one good arm and my legs. I'm sure I could mount some sort of challenge." "We won't let you-" Amy interrupts her to let Dave go. "Please. He's really anxious to prove himself. You and the other's are really hurting his self esteem by saying he can't do it." "I risk my life every time I go out and fight. This time is no different. Even if I come back worse, what kind of friend would I be if I sat aside while everyone was killed. My inaction killed my boyfriend, I can't sit by and let the new lights of my life get snuffed out." Hera, after a bit of contemplation, reluctantly says "Go as fast as you can. You're a noble soul Dave. Da: Thank you very much." As Dave runs to the battlefield he morphs and thinks. "He uses time manipulation to gain an advantage. A hard ability to counter, but as long as I can keep up my guard at all times he can't take me with his speed." Hera is obviously worried. "I understand his pain but with how quickly he beat us, I can't imagine Dave surviving the fight." "I do too. I hope that everyone can at least make it out alive."

Dave arrives as Chronos makes a grand speech. "I find it fitting how as you die, even as your parents, you are hopelessly divided. Your whole team isn't here and it's a shame. I would have taken great pleasure in killing the last of you still alive. He will come back one of these days, and I can't wait to torture him, slowly and painfully. No need for air, he will be tormented every hour of every day. Tell me, does it not sound exhilarating to know your friend will soon be joining you?" Kai tries his best to stand tall as well as Miki. "You better be in for a surprise." "Yeah. Our friend is absent because he's recovering. If he were here us five would be much stronger than you are you tyrant." "Trying to intimidate I see. Might as well spend your last breath being brave then gravel for mercy. You've made your choice. One move and you'll be dead. SYCTHESTO-" Dave shows up and uses a fan to knock chronos' scythe out of his hand and hurt it. He does and Chronos is enraged. "Who did this to me? I'll find you eventually." Dave walks past some nearby rocks, unseen. "Aha." Chronos uses his speed to effortlessly search the rocks for Dave. As Dave slowly approaches his recovering teammates, he gets scolded. "I know what I did was foolish-" "It's beyond stupid. You are in serious danger of death." "Relax, I know what he is doing." Shun remarks "Give him some credit. I think he wouldn't have come here otherwise." "I'm amused you even showed up. As I stated, I'll be sure to let you watch your teammates get cut up one at a time. Then unspeakable things will-" Dave threw a feather at Chronos mid speech and laughed. "If you think you could posture while I'm your opponent, you're sorely mistaken." "Fine. Cut to the chase. I like that."

Chronos uses his speed as Dave prepares his attack. "You seem calm for a man with an injury. You're facing the strongest Titan, me." Dave keeps his cool as Chronos starts his attacks, using his scythe to get some quick shots at Dave, who takes 1 hit but manages to dodge the rest after seeing the pattern. "For someone who is supposed to be smart, you should know never to attack in a pattern." "Er, how dare you insult the intellect of our mast-" "Calm yourself Typhon. A minor mistake on my part, it won't happen again." Shun says "Man, Dave got under Chronos' skin with that one." "Yeah, but we need him to actually attack him." Chronos then goes to swing with his scythe, and as Dave predictably dodges, he brings the lower part of his scythe up to whack Dave. "Finally, someone who could actually be a challenge for me. Somebody who uses his brain. If you were a Titan, I'd make you my right hand man." Typhon and Asteria are a bit disappointed. "However, since you're one of my grandchildren, I'll have to kill you. Such a shame your talent had to be wasted on being on the wrong team." "You think it will be that easy?" "I know boy. You have the power of love. However, Aphrodite's powers have not mattered much on the field of battle." Chronos uses his speed once again, but decides to drop his scythe. "This ought to be more than enough." He starts attacking Dave with his fists, and the blows wear Dave down. He goes for some punches, a few hard kicks to the abdomen and then a kick to the chest with a punch to the face. "Where do you think Demeter got her strength from? I'm her father. You wouldn't even exist if it weren't for me. All of you. It's a shame this chapter of our lives had to be cut short. However, at least you will not suffer much." Chronos takes his scythe and is prepares to execute Dave as he stands on his bad arm, but Miki and Shun manage to get up and run towards Chronos, planting their feet on his and they try to hold and twist his arm. "C'mon Dave, you have a clean shot." "Yes Dave, come at me. Throw the strongest attack you have." "Trust me, I will." Dave throws an unopened scallop fan with a petal storm behind it, increasing its velocity and damage. Chronos takes the hit then tries to uses his time jump ability. However, he simply starts sparking and falls down. "What is this, I can't fast forward time?" "I guess, urgh, not bad for a man with one good arm." "I've still got plenty of energy left to GYAHHHHHHHH! AHHHHHHHH! Asteria and Typhon rush to him. "Lord Chronos, are you alright? "I can take them on for you sir. I'll make them pay!" "I appear to have lost a lot of energy using my extra strength. Especially time jump." Asteria picks him up on her shoulders. "I'll get you home right away." "Typhon, you fight the Joutengers." Asteria gives him a small crystal ball. "Use this in case of an emergency." "Yes sir. Thank you Asteria. YOU JOUTENGERS ARE GONNA PAY!"

Typhon goes to attack Dave as Dave is utterly exhausted. Demi is very concerned. "Guys, he could hardly stand, we have to do something." Kai picks Dave up as Dave starts reeling in pain a bit. "Alright Dave, we'll take him from here." "H-how did I do?" You did alright. Now let's finish this guy." "Ok. Blade of Olympus, form." The combined weapons of the Joutengers unleash a huge slash of energy at Typhon, who is severely weakened. Miki says "What! He's still standing." "Yeah I am. It's about time I finish you all off." Typhon uses a magic ball he received from Asteria just before she left to grow to giant size. Demi says "Oh no." "This is truly amazing. I feel so alive. Now it's time I destroy the city." "Not on our watch, God Beasts, Arise!" The Godbeasts arrive and combine into the Olympic King. "Ha, I'll slay those beasts like the Titan of Monsters that I am." Shun contacts Amy. "Amy, you there?" Amy shows up with the Owl and blindsides Typhon who gets knocked down. "What the-" "Don't worry guys, I got your back. Olympus Gattai! Olympic King, Athena Formation!" "I don't care if you have a sword and shield, here's some lava!" Typhon shoots a huge storm of lava but the Olympic King blocks the attack with the shield. "What?" "You und-urgh, Underestimate our power. Gorgonic Slash." "Typhon is turned to stone and slashed to a pile of rocks." "What a tough one." "You did well Dave." Demi replied "Nah Miki. Dave was outstanding today." Kai said "I guess he was." Shun excitedly says "One down, three to go. Man that felt good."

The team exits the mech and walk back to Olympi, Demi carrying Dave back to Olympi. "I can walk-" "Relax. You did great today. You outsmarted Chronos and we destroyed Typhon. After all he did to me and Shun, it sure feels good now that he's dead." "Of course. After the way he pummeled me hard a few days ago, I think I've more than enough history with him." Miki asks "How's about we skip the base and the six of us go get some barbeque for dinner." Shun replies "Sounds good." Kai says "Eh, I could use the bite." "Dave, you sure you could get through din-" "Demi, I r-really appreciate your concern but I think I can have a steak or two. Relax." The team enjoys a nice barbeque dinner as Shun proposes a toast. "For Dave. If it wasn't for him we'd be dead right now." "Thank you, it wasn't much really-" Shun interrupts "Quit being modest. You really saved us back there buddy." Demi says "Yeah, you don't need to be so humble tonight." "I'm sorry, it's just-" Miki interrupts him "It's a totally fine trait Dave, but tonight is celebrating. You have your day." "Thank you so much everyone. I can't express any more gratitude at you accepting me as your teammate." "Think nothing of it. You're invaluable." "Hey Dave, when your arm gets better, you wanna take Gou to the park one day to get him out of the house?" "Sure, why not. Well thank you everyone. I met someone at the park a few days ago." Demi asks "Is he a hot guy?" "No, she's a very intelligent woman. We found a common love of poetry and song." "Really?" "Indeed. I've never met a girl like her. I was completely immersed in conversation. We talked for two hours straight about nothing but our favorite poets." "That's nice that you have a friend outside of us Dave." "We scheduled a date for tomorrow." "DATE!?" "Yes. We scheduled a lunch date as friends. We were supposed to go today but my injury frightened her enough to postpone the date." "Well, I hope it goes well." Shun snidely remarks "Is that why you're blushing?" Demi get angry but does some breathing to calm herself. "Maybe I could introduce her to you all one day." Miki says hastily "You don't mean-" "Oh heavens no. I just mean that since we are all friends, we could be introduced to one another." Demi says "That sounds cool. What do you think Kai?" "It's fine. Don't interrupt me when I'm eating, ok? Shun says "Ok then." Amy asks "Do you know whether she goes to the university?" "Now that you mention it, she did have a university shirt on her, so maybe." "Interesting." Shun then turns the conversation. "So Kai, our offer to have you join us at the Daimonji's is still on the table if you want." "I'm fine where I am, just leave me alone." "Oh, ok. Have fun."

On Parnon, Tetsu arrives at his destination. "This better be a good god beast for the mission ahead. I need to match the OlympicKing somehow." As he traverses the mountain, a long chariot of giant horses emerged from the peak. "HALT! We may only appear before true demi gods of Ares. You better prove your worth in battle against us." "What?" "Your soul is not in synch with itself, its splintered. Your guilt will become your undoing." "What guilt? A soldier never has guilt for his actions." "Unless you force me to submit, you will never be my master at this stage. I suggest you leave now or else." "You leave me no choice. You will do as I say. Even if I have to die trying."

Author: Hey guys, sorry for the 2 of you that I kept waiting, semester has been pretty heavy this time around and I'm doing my best to manage my time between my hobbies, my schoolwork and this. I can't promise when a new chapter will come up as this has no set date on which to end, but I would like to say that hopefully by next year it will be done. I strongly urge you all to give me some feedback as to how I am doing and to leave reviews, well thought out reviews too. And, for the love of god, don't post hate without a solution. Tell me what I am doing wrong and what I can do to improve, don't just say he sucks he's a fag lol#omg. It helps nobody and only makes you look like a dumbass. I should be having the next two chapters up sometime soon though, since now I try to write three chapters ahead while I'm busy.
