AN: Hello little biscuits! I'm back with another chapter for my lovely story, and I am happy to see how many views it's getting. Thank you! This actually took a lot longer than I wanted it to, sorry, I just didn't have the right mind-set to get a chapter out. Drop a review, leave a suggestion, and have fun reading!
Think of the strongest force in the world.
The utter destruction and power of this single thing. How it deeply impacts and interacts with everything on a global scale. How the earth was shaken to it's core by the sheer might of it. This is but a basic description of three superpowered deities fighting each other on a small island off the coast of Greece.
One was a red colored New God named Rao, who harnessed the very sun into his arsenal. Anther was a woman from another dimension called Wonder Woman, with extremely enhanced strength and speed, and a couple godly weapons in her hands. Last, but definitely not least, a Greek minor god of dark magic, disease, liquids, and cleverness named Perseus, with a cloak of magic and a sword that increased not only his physical ability, but also his mystical.
Hit after hit after hit, the three powerful individuals didn't stop for a second. Even with Rao and Perseus, Percy for short, injured, they gave one hell of a fight. The minor god lifted Sylvia to block an incoming attack from Wonder Woman's sword, which shook at the force behind it as a wave of energy rippled around their magical weapons.
"I do not have quarrels with you. Leave this scum to me." the Amazon grunted out, strain visible on her face. He decided not to answer, and shot a blast of magic with his hand, sending her flying back a few hundred feet. A red blur crashed into the godling, forcing Percy to put his focus back on the New God. Rao flapped his great wings, sending them deeper into the ground and creating more craters.
A glowing lasso wrapped around the former sorcerer, flinging him across the island in mere seconds. Wonder Woman shot after him shortly after, giving the bloodied and beaten minor god a break.
"Akila." he coughed out. "Yes master?" his faithful cloak replied quickly. "I need more energy. What can I do to achieve this?" the cloak seemed to think for a moment, before answering obediently.
"As a god of liquids, especially one born of Lord Poseidon, the sea should help speed up the process in leaps." that was all the god needed, launching out of the shallow crater and teleporting to the sea in a blip. As soon as he touched the waters, Percy was filled to the brim with godly energy, even going past that and almost causing him to burst into his true form.
"This is amazing!" he exclaimed with glee, his eyes temporarily flashing sea-green. The minor god turned toward the other two fighters, a smile spreading across his face.
"Alright you little skatas. Time to play."

Olympus, the mightiest city in all the lands, home of the gods. Inside a large building at the very top of Mount Olympus, where the city lay, twelve thrones began to fill with people.
At the head, a man with a large beard as dark as a thunderstorm and blue eyes sparkling with lightning. Next to him was a woman as fair and regal as any queen, brown eyes cold and unfeeling. The man, Zeus, summoned his symbol of power and the greatest weapon ever created: the Master Bolt.
"I call this meeting to order!" he thundered, slamming the bolt on the floor to silence the whispering amongst the other eleven.
"Father, what is this about?" a woman with silver eyes like the moon and auburn hair asked, obviously impatient. "Three powerful sources of energy have suddenly appeared on an island off the shore of Greece, a place called Alba Longa." The King said sternly, almost disapprovingly at his daughters lack of seriousness. Immediately, the room filled with murmurs until Zeus slammed his Master Bolt again.
"Brother, what could it be? The Titans? Giants?" a man holding a Celestial Bronze trident asked worriedly, sea-green eyes clouded in anxiousness. "I know not, that is why I have summoned the Council." without another word, Zeus thrusted his hand out and summoned a large mist into the room.
"Apollo, if you please?" the sun god nodded and created a shining light above their heads, making a rainbow appear in the mist. "Iris, show us the battle in Alba Longa." after a second, the mist cleared into a large image of two people fighting. Wonder Woman and Rao, attacking at break-neck speeds that even left some gods dizzy.
"Who are these people?" a woman with long brown hair asked, squeezing a stock of grain unconsciously. "Not mortals, but no immortals I've ever encountered." A grey-eyed woman spoke, forehead creased as she tried to put pieces together that didn't make sense.
"Where is the third individual?" Apollo asked, noticing the anomaly. As if on cue, a shadow covered the battle in darkness, causing said battle to halt and stare at something out of view of the Council. "What is that, some kind of monster?" Artemis asked, shifting in her seat to see more clearly. The Iris Message refocused, now showing the shadow's owner, but only causing more confusion.
"Is that..?"
"The sea… it is the sea." Poseidon said with wonder despite the terrifying display of power. True to his words, the very sea had been lifted almost a mile (1.6 km) off the ground. Everyone in the Throne Room was shocked by the power this being had.
"Wait, there is someone on top of it." Athena stated, grey eyes squinting to see. The Iris Message zoomed in on the figure, giving the Council an up close picture of who was doing all of this.
"Oh, he is hot!"
"Looks like a wimp, how is he doing all this?"
"Interesting, he stands on the water as if it is land."
"Wait a second, I think I know this man."
"Hold on, this punk does look familiar…"
"Indeed, he does hold a resemblance to someone."
"Ok skata…" the Council turned to Artemis in confusion, who just kept staring at the man before her with utter contempt an hatred. "Daughter, do you know this man?"
"Yeah sis, why does he look so familiar?" Apollo chipped in. The huntress sighed, lifting her eyes to the other Olympians, who were on the figurative and literal edge of their seats.
"His name is Perseus, a minor god that I once enslaved for a decade or so. He controls dark magic, disease, and, as you can see, liquids." The Council was silent, until a heavy clunk echoed throughout the room. The gods turned to Poseidon, who had dropped his trident as he stood, staring at the man with tears in his eyes.
"What did you say?"

Percy was having the time of his life. He almost laughed at the horrified faces of his adversaries as he slowly moved the nearly three thousand gallons of water above their heads.
"Don't make me drop it!" the minor god shouted at the two enemies below. Rao seemed scared out of his mind, while Wonder Woman was more internal with her fear, calculating a way to survive without surrendering. The minor god sank through the water, falling to the ground in less than a minute.
"Well? Do you surrender?" his smirk was infuriating, not only cocky but showing he knew just how powerful he was. Truth be told, the minor god was not holding up as well on the inside. "Master Perseus, you cannot hold this much water for too much longer or you won't have any choice but to drop it!" Akila was right. The strain was almost physically forcing the god to the ground. Percy could barely stand, much less keep holding up part of a sea.
"Well played, minor god. You will not see the last of me, this I swear!" Rao growled out in anger, before folding his wings against his body and fading away into thin air.
Wonder Woman, however, was not budging.
"You are powerful indeed, but I know you will not drop the water."
"Oh yeah, how do you know that?" the Amazon only gestured behind her, to the castle in the distance that was definitely in the shadow of the sea.
"If you release your hold on the water, you destroy the kingdom you were just protecting. You do not strike me as the kind of person to kill innocents to get what he wants, especially innocents of whom you care about." her face broke into a smile of satisfaction at the minor god's widening eyes.
"You win this time." he muttered, using his power to slowly put the sea back into place. As the waters settled, Percy felt immense relief as the strain was lifted from his shoulders. "Now, what is it you want from me?" the Amazon glowered at the minor god, almost seething at the question.
"My soldiers, my sisters, are all dead because of you!" she stated with malice coating every word.
Percy only smiled, shrugging softly. "They were killing my people, Ms. Wonder Woman. You seem to forget that." she was taken aback, shock coloring her features, only for a mask of steel to cover it up.
"Diana. My name is Diana, Princess of Themyscira."
"Perseus, minor god." he, regrettably, added the 'minor' bit so she didn't get the wrong idea.
"Minor? I know of no 'minor' being who can lift entire seas." Diana's words boosted Percy's ego, if only slightly. "Well, I might also be the only son of Poseidon." the Amazon narrowed her eyes in confusion, shaking her head as if what the god had stated was a distasteful wine. "But, what of Lord Poseidon's other son, Triton?" Percy froze, purple eyes glowing almost violently when he turned to the Wonder Woman.
"Who?"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Who?"
The Olympian Council had many differing emotions at Poseidon's accusation. "That is my son, Perseus." the sea god stared at his long lost child with joy and complete euphoria.
He had finally found his son, after all this time.
"I'm sorry, Uncle Poseidon, but don't you already have a son? Triton?" Apollo's words seemed to pierce the bubble around the Olympian. He seemed to, just now, realise the predicament.
"Triton is still my son, but he will need to give up his title as prince. My first-born has returned to me."
No one dared to suggest differently as the sea god went back to watching his child walk back to the kingdom of Alba Longa, accompanied by the strange Amazonian woman.

Percy could pretty much chalk the day up to be pretty terrible.
First, he was blinded for trying to help his people (thanks Fates). Then, he had subsequently created a New God via engaging in a fight with a sorcerer. And, gods, don't forget he had fought a three-way battle between a New God of the Sun and an Amazonian demi-goddess from another dimension. But the icing on the cake? He apparently had a brother out there, being pampered as some big shot prince while Percy had to spend his first couple decades alone with no knowledge of his powers or his lineage.
To say the minor god was angry would be a gross understatement; he was absolutely furious. "Of all the injustices, all the horrible things that bastard sea god could have done, replacing me was not one I saw coming!" he ranted to the, slightly scared, Amazon.
"I am sure that Lord Poseidon did not replace you with Triton, he just needed an heir in case he fell in battle."
"Oh, I'm sure that's all it was. It's not like he even knew me anyways, right. First fifteen gods damned minutes and you lose your child. Unbelievable." Percy huffed, trudging forward across craters and pits in the island's terrain.
Diana sighed, wringing her hands as she thought of what to say to the hurt god. "If you are so concerned about your 'replacement', why don't you talk to your father?" the god stopped in his tracks, skin glowing ethereally in the setting sun.
"Listen, you are new to this universe, so I'll let you in on something: the gods? The Olympians? Hate minor gods. Especially Zeus. And, by the way, I've gotten in a fight with three of them! And, don't let me forget to mention that I'm harboring a woman from another dimension! I'm sure that meeting will go over fucking peachy!"
Diana was, once again, taken aback by his comments. She was starting to dislike this world greatly with every passing problem. Soon, the duo were at the high walls of the castle, where the entire population of the island had come out to witness the return of their saviour.
All was silent, and all was still, until one man rose on his feet. "All hail Lord Perseus!" soon, the entire crowd of people repeated the chant again and again, each time growing louder and more excited as they realized the threat to their lives was now defeated.
All of this was promptly ignored, however, because the minor god was busy searching for the lovely queen of the now safe kingdom. A flash of blonde hair caught his attention, and he started forward towards the individual of which said hair belonged to.
"Queen Sylvia? Is that you?" he called softly, though he could not be heard over the roar of the crowd. "Perseus, go to your queen. I shall distract the commoners." Diana said, disappearing before the godling could get a word in. Nevertheless, he took off towards the woman he needed to have a serious talk with.
True to her word, the Amazon Princess quickly grabbed the attention of the audience. Percy followed, hopefully, Sylvia into the barracks, where he found her facing out a window. "There you are." he slowed down at the sight of the queen, a smile forming. She turned, a light smile marking her face and letting Percy know that she was okay.
"Hello, Percy. That was a mighty battle you fought, but I knew you would win in the end." the god noticed a slight glare from the sun, which reflected across her eye to make them shine brighter. He approached her with hesitance, a laugh escaping his throat.
"Yeah, well, I couldn't save everyone." the bitterness in his voice surprised the queen, but she shook it off and hugged him tightly, sniffling slightly.
"I know, my love. A lot of people died today, but it was for the safety of the kingdom. Every life given was ten lives saved." her voice was muffled with her face pressed into his chest, but the god could easily pick it up. Silence engulfed them, though it was not awkward, but comfortable, until Percy broke it.
"Did you call me your love?" he said smugly, poking her side teasingly. The queen groaned, hitting her head against the godling's chest as he laughed.
"I thought you wouldn't notice."
"Oh no, it's fine. I can be your love, if that's… what you want." tense silence, quickly interrupted with a surprised grunt as Sylvia leaned up and kissed him, pressing her lips to his with fiery passion. Percy's eyes fluttered closed with a soft moan of pleasure, holding the woman close to him.
"Of course, my love." she said happily, breaking the kiss and leaning on his shoulder as he held her.
Suddenly, shouts from outside got their attention away from romance and affection. "We should probably go see what that is about." Percy sighed. "You go ahead, it would not be good for the citizens to see their queen in such a state. I'll return soon, my love." she kissed his cheek, making the minor god blush brightly as he exited the barrack.
Once gone, Sylvia turned back towards the window, her smile of love twisting into an evil smirk. The sun reflected light into her eyes, but she didn't seem bothered as it sank below the horizon. The light sunk, revealing that it was not the sun that was igniting her eyes.
Her normal blue irises were painted gold, in fact, all of her eye was gold.
"Naive godling. I shall crush you soon enough." her voice pitched upward, like nails on a chalk board. She blinked once, her eyes returning to blue, before she exited the barracks as well.
