Hey everybody, it's your main man Gold Testament coming to you with a story update after a 2 month hiatus due to college. I have been bugged with a lot of messages to update Soldiers of the Skies, but guess what people… You didn't have to tell me to cause I planned on it when I got my break between semesters. Yes, that's right I said semesters. I am going to a four year university to continue my college studies, so updates will be very scarce. This is the first warning to you guys about that. I am also going to remind you that there is a poll up on my profile page in regards to the next Percy story. Remember vote on the goddess that you want Percy paired up with. I'll be honest though, I'm not surprised Hera has a head start, with Persephone in second place, and Amphitrite behind them both. But please I need you all to vote quickly in that before August 10, so I can start on that story. Because around that time I'll be starting the Fall semester at college. Please just don't keep me waiting on this poll like you did last time. This is an extremely important poll that you people need to do or else no new story. I want the votes on one of the big three goddesses to reach 100 otherwise you guys will get nothing new aside from story updates. I hope I have made myself crystal clear for all of you on the importance of my current poll.
Anyway here comes the worst part about any story.
The disclaimer…
I do NOT own Percy Jackson and the Olympians, The Heroes of Olympus, or even The Kane Chronicles. They belong to Rick Riordan one of my most favorite authors. By the way I will say this…The Percy Jackson books are way better than the movies they are making.

More Surprises and Family Bonding
Annabeth just stood there, as everyone celebrated Percy and his new girlfriends, feeling shock, rage, and betrayal toward her own mother as well as rage for Artemis, the man-hating goddess, who fell for "HER" Percy.
"Everyone…" Amphitrite began. "While I am happy to have my step-son back, I just remembered that if Kronos lost at Camp Half-Blood, my father, Oceanus, would come to take Atlantis with the aid of Polybotes." The Queen of the Sea announced.
"That's terrible news!" Hera shouted.
"Amphitrite, would you be willing to fight against your own father?" Percy asked his step-mother.
"For my husband, son, step-son, and Sally?" Amphitrite began. "Of course I would fight my father." She answered.
"Good." Percy said before turning to Ouranos. "Gramps can you call for Alpha and her father to take on Polybotes while dad, Amphitrite, Triton, and I bond while fighting Oceanus?" Percy then asked.
The king of the primordials nodded before two people flashed into Poseidon's palace, however, most were shocked as Poseidon, Triton, and Amphitrite bowed to the man.
"It's an honor to have you here in my palace Lord Pontus. Please tell us the reason for your visit?" Poseidon said as most (except for Percy) stared in awe at the Primordial of the Sea.
"Ouranos and your Percy requested my and my daughter's aid." Pontus replied as he gestured to the feminine figure dressed similar to Percy.
The figure approached and removed her hood revealing a young looking woman with ocean blue eyes, raven hair, and a face rivaling Aphrodite that made the hearts of everyman, except Percy, Pontus, and Ouranos, stop beating for a moment from her breath taking beauty.
"My name is Ariel, demigod daughter of Pontus, and second in command of the Soldiers of the Skies under Percy Jackson." Ariel announced.
"Percy, how come you weren't awed by the beauty of the primordial demigoddess?" Triton asked.
"Maybe it's because Percy is now dating two beautiful goddesses." Hera spoke making Artemis and Athena look somewhat smug.
"Actually Percy and I used to date, but we had a mutual break-up." Ariel explained shocking them all.
"Percy if you dated her why did you break-up?" Nico asked surprised.
"You are one of two people who should know the reason all too well Nico." Percy answered with a glare and gaining a gasp from Aphrodite.
"You were afraid to proposed out of fear of another heartbreak after catching Annabeth and Nico the first time you attempted to propose!" The Goddess of Love shouted.
"Yeah, but things worked out for Ariel when I recruited Luke Castellan, so he could have a second chance and put his skills as a Son of Hermes to good use as Gramps' spymaster." Percy said surprising Annabeth, Thalia, and Hermes.
"LUKE IS ALIVE?!" Hermes yelled.
"Luke is in the soldiers, and dating her?!" Annabeth and Thalia asked shocked.
"Actually he proposed right before Percy's last mission, and after this war Percy will NOT be taking any missions until after the wedding…especially if he wants to still have children one day." Ariel said making Percy shudder.
"I promised Luke I would be his best man, and that Nico and Grover would be his groomsmen." Percy told them.
"Percy didn't Luke also convince Ariel to have Thalia as the maid of honor?" Ouranos asked.
"Yes." Percy simply said to Thalia's joy.
"What about me?" Annabeth asked only to be hit by a blast of water, and froze from the neck down.
When that happened everyone stared at Percy.
"Don't look at me after all I'm not the only child of the sea here that can do that." Percy said with a shrug. "Besides after what she and Nico did Annabeth's lucky to even be invited as a guest, and Nico's only a groomsman because Charlie is still holding that grudge to Luke when he got blown up during the titan war." Percy added.
"Now that we know about that can we go take on Oceanus and Polybotes?" Triton asked.
With that the gods, goddess, and demigods of the sea headed out as the armies of Poseidon and Pontus began fighting the forces of Oceanus and Polybotes. As they swam they were then met by the titan and giant of the sea.
"Hello Amphitrite I take it this means you and my grandson side with Poseidon and his spawn?" Oceanus asked.
"Yes father, and while my husband, son, step-son and I bond by fighting you, Polybotes will have Pontus and his daughter to play with." Amphitrite answered making the bane of Poseidon sweat at the thought of fighting a primordial and his demigod. However, before the titan or giant could speak, Percy and Ariel had already began to attack with sword strikes Oceanus could barely avoid, block, counter, or deflect while Polybotes couldn't even move due to his immense size.
"Percy who said you could have all the fun?!" Triton yelled before joining his half brother in the fight with Oceanus.
With the addition of Triton Oceanus had to summon a sword with his own trident to block, counter, or deflect the attacks of the brothers since Triton's inclusion took out opportunities to avoid attacks.
"Impressive!" Amphitrite began. "For Percy and Triton to fight in sync like that… It's like they grew up and trained together." The Queen of the Sea said in awe as she watched the sons of Poseidon fight.
"You should have seen them fight Kronos' army at Camp Half-Blood." Poseidon began. "The way they watched each other's back and took down an army of monsters was just as amazing." Poseidon added before staring at his wife. "Now dear are we just going to swim here, or are we going to join them?" Poseidon asked his wife with a smirk before they joined the Sons of Poseidon making it impossible for Oceanus to defend before all four struck a killing blow ending the titan.
"Seems like you four had some real family fun." Ariel said with a smirk while swimming to them.
"Yeah, and I take it that fighting Polybotes was boring for you and Pontus right?" Percy asked with a knowing smirk of his own.
"You know it Percy, and as always once the battle was done my dad left knowing he'll help when we need it." Ariel answered with a punch to Percy's shoulder.
"Hey Ariel, do you think you could bring Luke to Atlantis?" Percy asked.
"Give me a reason to bring my fiancé there." The daughter of Pontus demanded.
"Thalia misses him as does Hermes who wants to make amends with his son." Percy replied annoyed.
"I said one reason not two, but point taken." Ariel replied as she flashed away, and Poseidon's family began to swim back to Atlantis.
Well ladies and gentlemen here it is the long awaited 12th chapter of Soldiers of the Skies. I hope you like it because pretty soon I'll be back in school, and I'll try to have at least one or two more updates done before I go back for the fall semester, but I make no promises. Just know that I'll do my best.
