Hello everyone!

Yes, yes I am super late and someone actually pmed me if I am not continuing the story and I am VERY sorry, but I had a very, VERY hardcore month and a half forgot about my two fanfictions.

Anyway, hope you guys/girls all enjoy it!

[David's Pov]

"So what did my sisters show you?" Zoë asked as we started to walk up the hill.

I scowled at her as the horrible image came back to mind.

"That is none of your business. Why are you even asking that now?"

"Well for one, you can't just walk up this hill. You have to not intend on going up this hill to go up."

Zoë explained as if her word made sense, which totally didn't.

"The hell do you mean? We can't 'not intend' to go up while we are going up."

"We just have to push that thought to the back of our mind-we need something to take our mind off."

Then the surroundings shifted slightly then we were both at the bottom of the hill.

"See what I mean?" She asked as I looked around.

So we have to be distracted to go up. That still didn't mean I had to...reveal my past.

"Still, I don't want to talk about this. Maybe we can have a talk about...something else."

Zoë shook her head.

"No. Since I told you about my past, I want to know yours."

"Do you really have to know my past?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"Because I want to. Now let's go and you can start talking."

She started to walk up the hill before I can even complain.

"You've gotta be kidding me..." I grumbled as I followed her up.

"So, My parentage is slightly complicated. My mother married some other guy after I was born since my father wasn't around. However, she broke up with him after a few years because of all the monster attacks."

"Seems pretty normal for a demigod."

"Yes well, the problem was that my father took me with him and he married someone else and she wasn't...a great mom."

I scratched my backpack as I remembered her 'other side'.

Zoë stayed quiet listening to the story just like I did way back in the train.

"So this one day she actually tried to murder me. I have no idea why, and I ended up murdering her."

At this point I glanced at Zoë, expecting her to flinch or give me a disgusted look.

"Well, that is a pity," Zoë said dryly and I raised my eyebrow at her.

"That is it?"

"What is it?" She asked puzzled.

"I just told you that I murdered my stepmom."

Zoë rolled her eyes.

"We are literally going to fight my dad right now. If you want me to be disgusted at you, I will be happy to oblige."

I blinked at her for a few seconds. It was the first time that someone didn't care about the fact that I murdered a human.

"...thanks."

"You are welcome. And we are here."

With that, we both looked up at a transparent castle.

[Line Break]

[David's Pov]

When we entered the palace, there was Artemis trapped under some kind of boulder.

"M'lady!" Zoë rushed over to her, but Artemis only groaned.

As Zoë went over to Artemis, I looked around. Considering this was the main base of the Titans it was surprisingly empty-

"Zoë?!" I said in a warning tone as someone slowly walked toward us.

The footstep was heavy as if it was from a giant.

Zoë turned to the sound of the footsteps as the owner of the sound revealed himself.

"Ahh, Zoë. How nice of you to return to your home."

The man had black hair and was very muscular. Like, very muscular. However, the thing that bugged me the most is that Zoë had similar features with him.

They had the same shade of hair and that same look that could give you a feeling that you were stabbed by them.

The difference was that Zoë's eyes were like if she stabbed you with a dagger.

Atlas's eyes were like if he repeatedly stabbed you with a poisonous spear over 3000 years.

Zoë growled as she slowly stood up and walked pass Lady Artemis and stopped right next to me.

Lady Artemis muttered something but I missed it as Atlas came, his every step warning the senses in my brain:

Do not fight with this guy

"So this is the half-blood that came to challenge me?" Atlas said as he looked me up and down once then let out a laugh.

"Ha! He won't even stand a single blow. It is brilliant that he managed to make way into your heart."

Zoë blushed scarlet for some reason and turned to me.

"You know that he is lying right?"

"Huh?"

"Never mind."

She turned back to Atlas looking relieved and slightly disappointed at the same time.

I had no idea what the hell was that about, but this wasn't really the time to wonder about small things.

Atlas materialized a huge ax that must have weighed a ton out of thin air and swung it like a baseball bat, and the current hit my face in a light breeze.

"Well let's see if you hit hard as you say." With that, I gripped my sword and Zoë looked at me again.

"You'll get squashed."

"We don't know that until I try!"

With that, I again focused, and the feeling of something pulling on my gut returned as a red aura burst around me.

"Your arrogance will be your doom!"

Atlas yelled with a voice that nearly exploded my ears, but I still swung my sword as he swung his ax toward me as well.

[David's Pov]

You know that moment when you think something would be a good idea until you start to do it and you realize it was a crappy idea?

Fighting the General of the Titans was also that 'crappy idea'.

I realized it at the exact moment when our weapons met because it felt like I hit a meteor instead of an ax.

The next second I flew toward a wall and smashed right through it, rubbles raining down on me.

[Zoë's Pov]

"David!"

I yelled taking my eye off from Atlas for a second, which was a terrible idea.

Atlas growled as if the arrows were just a bee sting and kept bringing his ax on to the ground as if he was playing a whack-a-mole game.

"No time to care for your little crush, daughter!"

Atlas said with a fierce grin and I felt myself flush red even in this crisis and acted slightly late, and Atlas swiped his hand and swatted me like a fly.

Being a hunter for 3000 years usually makes you used to most of the pain you can experience.

Sadly, his single blow toped every injury I had since this day as I crashed against the wall.

"I thought this was transparent..."

I groaned as Atlas slowly walked over to me.

"The Titans are regaining their strengths, daughter. I am only the beginning of the outcome of what would happen."

Before I could ask what he meant, there was a somewhat similar roar, and Atlas turned just in time to see David jump at him with pitch black eyes.

For once David wasn't smiling while he was in a berserk form. Instead, he was acting like a very, very angry tiger or something.

Atlas stepped back as David swung his swords at a much faster pace than usual.

"Quite impressive. This technic is something that even I haven't seen in my life."

The sound of metal clashing against each other was heard-David was on full attack mode while Atlas merely blocked his attacks with his ax.

After a while, Atlas swung his ax in a wide arch and David jumped back, still growling like an animal.

A slight slash was present across Atlas's face and a small trail of ichor was dribbling down his cheek.

At this point, I was half hoping that this berserk mode might actually be enough to defeat Atlas.

"Amazing increase in speed and power...I have to say I am envious of that power."

Atlas said casually as he wiped the blood off his cheek.

"However, you will never, ever defeat me with that."

I felt a cold chill slide through my spine.

I kept telling myself that he must be bluffing-David was doing just fine. What was the problem?

David let out a roar and charged at Atlas.

Atlas was just standing there, not even putting his guard up.

"As I said, that technic gave you amazing power and speed. However-"

David jumped mid-charge and brought the hus sword down, aiming at Atlas's head-

I expected/or hoped for a burst of golden blood from the Titan's head, but instead Atlas was holding David's arm, holding him up in mid-air as his expression changed to shock from anger.

"It lacks skill."

Before neither of us could react, Atlas lightly tossed David straight up, as if he was a baseball and kneed him straight in the stomach as he came down.

David went flying to the same spot he landed before and crashed into the brick wall again, and the wall broke down on him.

All this happened in less than 5 seconds, and I just comprehended what happened as drew my bow, but Atlas threw his ax toward my direction and it snapped the bow clean in half before flying back to its owner's hand.

"Enough with your little toy, daughter. It is starting to annoy your father."

"You-"

With a terrifying roar, David burst out from the pile of the rocks and charged straight at Atlas again.

"David No!"

I screamed. He was going to die-

"Alas, a mad warrior never learns it's lesson."

Atlas blocked David's blow with a tip of his finger, then he elbowed him from the top of his head and David crashed into the floor.

Before he could get up, Atlas put his foot on David's right arm and brought his ax down with his full strength.

The sound of the impact was louder than a tank being fired and I nearly flew off the hill as the ground shook making cracks along the floor and debris flying everywhere.

After the dust settled down, David was in a pool of blood

I started to run toward the Titan and David.

I admit it was a pretty stupid thing to do, especially since I don't have any weapons, but I wasn't really thinking logically at that moment.

Atlas let out a snort as he swatted me again.

"You haven't changed a bit in 3000 years."

I smashed against a pillar and slumped down to the floor.

I could feel something trickling my back-probably blood.

"You betrayed your father 3000 years ago for a hero, only to be betrayed. Now you are just repeating yourself."

Atlas grabbed me by my neck and I choked as the air was suddenly cut off from my neck.

Atlas picked me up as I struggled to breathe. My hands closed around his fingers desperately trying to free my neck, but his grip was too strong.

"Any words to defend yourself, daughter?"

"Ghdhfnfngmgfjdhshshnmhdsshhhhh"

"Good one."

His grip tightened and I felt my mouth open, trying fruitlessly to get some air.

Black dots popped up in front of my eyes as my strength slowly faded away.

'David...'

Suddenly a dark-red lightening bolt struck where David was laying.

Atlas turned to see what happened with a surprised look, and his grip loosened allowing me to gasp for air.

"Round 2, Asshole."

[David's Pov-slight past]

I can't see anything.

Where am I?

Am I dead?

Oh, I can see now.

I can feel my arms so I must be alive.

I can't feel my legs though, what happened-

I looked down and saw that my waist was separated...nearly.

'That makes sense.'

Normally I would have screamed in pain and panic, but currently, I didn't feel pain.

I felt tired as if I was dying.

'Well if this was all my blood I would be dying.'

I let out a very, very small sigh, and closed my eyes again. I was so tired. Maybe I'll just take a nap...

'WAKE UP!'

'JESUS CHRIST'

Someone yelled right in my ears and I sat bolt upright.

A very angry looking Alpha was glaring at me and Beta was slightly behind her, looking angry himself.

'Oh hello you two-'

'WHAT THE = WERE YOU THINKING YOU #@# !?!?!?!'

Alpha yelled something that I can't understand, it seemed like a language older than ancient Greek.

'Woah Woah calm down-what happened?'

'WHAT HAPPENED? I TELL YOU WHAT HAPPENED-'

Bata clapped right next to Alpha and she started.

'We have bigger issues than what this idiot of our master has chosen to do. Right now, we have to make a decision.'

'What decision?'

Alpha was taking deep calming breaths as Beta snapped both of his fingers and two orbs appeared next to his hand.

'You tried 2 times to get control of this power.'

'Didn't I tried it 3 times?'

'The first time you called us doesn't count-you didn't try to control it. You merely tried to use it by its own. That is why it left less of a damage to your soul.'

'That was less of a damage?'

Beta rolled his eyes and pressed on.

'Anyway, when you try to control this power-'

I raised my hand and Beta stopped talking.

'What?'

'I've been meaning to ask, but who is exactly lending this power? Is it you two or-'

'No it is not us, you will learn in due time- and currently, we don't have much to waste.'

Alpha turned back to me and I flinched.

Thankfully it looked like she calmed down.

Alpha took one of the orbs and turned to face me.

'Long story short, you can try to control the power again, but if you fail, your soul would be ripped into pieces, you won't go to the Underworld, just cease to exist.'

Beta continued.

'If you choose not to try, you will die and go to the underworld. We would be sealed off again for 100 years until the next demigod worthy enough to wield and appear.'

'Choose'

'Choose'

They both held out their orbs toward me.

I looked up.

It was weird describing, but I could see what was happening in the real world as if it was happening on a movie screen or something.

Zoë was getting choked out by Atlas, then I somehow heard her voice.

'David...'

She didn't say that through her mouth, she couldn't even breathe.

But at the same time, I could have sworn I heard her voice, calling out for me while getting choked to death.

I turned back to Alpha and Beta and put my hands on the orbs.

The orbs disappeared inside me as I felt myself crumble into nothingness.

I automatically closed my eyes.

The pain was too much: he wanted to give in, faint, whatever he had to do make this pain stop-

'David...'

This time he wasn't even sure if Zoë said that again, but I gritted my teeth.

I can't just give up now.

Someone needed me.

I have to get up and help-

"That's the spirit."

A sunglass-wearing man seemed to have been standing next to me with someone else I didn't know for a split second, then my eyes snapped open in real time.

The first thing I saw was a flash of a dark-red light. Then I realized I was standing with my feet, no wounds on me.

I looked down at my hands, still clutching on to the swords. There was the same colored dark-red aura around them.

I looked up to see Atlas, just turning around to see me.

I let out a vicious smile. I can win this.

Round 2, Asshole."

[Line Break]

[Zoë's Pov]

Atlas and David looked at each other for what it felt like an eternity.

Atlas's eyes were slightly squinting as if he was sizing me up.

David had his confident smile and slowly walked out from the crater.

His wounds were all healed for some reason, but I was glad to see that he wasn't dead.

Suddenly David charged at Atlas-and for a split second, he disappeared from my sight, then suddely Atlas flung me aside as he jumped side ways, a huge gash opened in his right arm.

David was standing right in front of me as I coughed on the ground, my head starting to give out steady pase of pain.

"You ok?"

He asked looking back and I just nodded slowly.

"Get yourself and Ambrosia, and try to figure out where the others are."

David pointed at Atlas with his ichor stained sword.

"I'll take care of your father."

And that is the end of this chapter.

Again, sorry for taking so long and hopefully this chapter kept up to your expectations.

Byeeee~
