I am in a generous mood today so I posted the first part of the battle.. ENJOY! :)The Epic Music I mentioned last chapter is also recommended for this chapter.
Disclaimer: I do not own class of the titans.
Throughout his career as a hero, Archie had always been out beaten by Atlanta. She was faster, more agile, sharper. Being undercover, which they always were, was always her element. But this was an open battlefield. The warrior's element and Archie had unleashed his true potential on that battlefield. He was using a combination of his whip and his spear to full use. Pulling monsters down, ripping off their limbs and finishing them off with a spear. He could have taken on the army single handed it seemed.
Herry, like I said was dangerous without a weapon. He was more dangerous with a minotaur horn. Now picture him with a weapon made just for him and fill him with a desire for revenge. Yeah. It was messy. He was shoving giants aside and cracking their skulls open with his axe, and in some cases his bare hands. You could frequently hear him say, "That's for granny." with the occasional "Lets rock slime-o". Atlanta fired countless arrows and never missed. A machine gun would be a better case of thespeed he was running at. She was dodging axes, clubs, the works. She kept the mortal maker arrow separate for Cronus.
Neil was an interesting case. His luck kept him alive for the start of the battle. He was very iffy about everything. He was faced with one pissed off giant grinning and holing a massive mace. But then, something unexpected happened. A minotaur had gored a man right into the chest right behind him and blood went everywhere, mostly on the ground, but one unfortunate drop landed on Neil's shoulder. His precious silk shirt which he wore under his armour. Neil was completely distracted by it and he tried rubbing it out. It was useless. It was a stain. The giant was about to swing, until he saw Neil's face. It was bright red. If he wasn't blonde he would have looked like the hulk. Unspeakable rage filled into him and he charged the giant with redoubled fury. The giant dropped his mace and ran. Good choice because Neil was on a rage driven rampage. Shotgun shells were flying and he wasn't planning on stopping.
Theresa was fairing very well too. She was pretty useless with nunchucks when they were fighting monsters so having a deadly weapon was relieving. It was cutting through bones, and flesh. She sometimes used telepathy to make the dumber giants to fight one another. She didn't do it too much though because there was always some monster trying to sneak up behind her just to get roundhouse kicked by an angry ginger.
From time to time there was an explosion. It was Odie, he and Polyphemus were working as a team to take down their foes. Odie tricked them when Polyphemus blasted them with his custom bolts. It was interesting to see them hit multiple enemies down then blow them up. Messy, but interesting. And Jay. He was a prized target for many giants and monsters but he had backup: Macks squad. They would leap over the giants and shoot them right into the head. Mack was tossing grenades down their thoughts and kicking them away. But Jay himself was a lot more efficient at monster killing. His experience alone simply toppled them. His presence actually caused fear and disorder among the giants.
While Jay was fighting giants and minotaurs and chimeras like a pro, he never let his guard down for his friends. About half an hour in he pulled his xiphos from his previous enemy and threw it with pinpoint accuracy, right into the chest of a giant that was about to club Atlanta.
"I owe you one." She called, but Jay didn't hear her over the cries of battle around them. Jay pulled his sword out of the giant and charged onto his next unfortunate victim. Jay could see Cronus now. He was slicing and dicing with his scythes. The poor people never had a chance against him. He wanted to take him down right there, but he needed to get him isolated from his giants and he needed the rest of the team. Reality hit him with a near miss of a minotaur charge. He spun around and sliced the minotaurs head off. Herry was close by chucking his axe anywhere there was an enemy. People had come down from the roves to join in the melee fight. They figured it was too danger close for guns. But where were Pan and Camp? Jay figured Campe had gone looking for Cronus again. That was annoying. He looked around.
The people were greater in numbers, but the giants were tougher and larger, Alot of people were dying. The dogfights in the air were causing equal casualties, but the air force seemed to be winning. Jay wished he could say the same on the ground. The giants were pummelling the resistance.
Archie was being a menace. He slew a chimera, then a minotaur, then he had his back to someone. It was Atlanta.
"How many are you on?" He asked?
"15 monsters baby!" She shot an arrow at a charging giant. "16!"
Archie chuckled, "Is that it? I'm on 25."
"Hey I've been watching your back buddy."
"And I yours, now can't talk slaying monsters." He lunged at the nearest monster he could find.
"ARCHIE!" a booming voice rumbled. Archie turned around. Oh great. It had to be that bloody water god Schamander. He strode towards him with anger in his voice and posture. There was no other option but to fight.
"Alright water boy," Archie yelled. "BRING IT ON!"
Neils rampage had not slowed down. He blasted away at beasts. His next target, a Byzantine boar. He shot once. Knocked it down. Twice. Hit it again. One more shot. 'click'.
"WHAT are you kidding me?" he stared at his shotgun. Out of ammo at a time like this was unlucky. Especially for Neil. The boar grinned from cheek to check and charged. He almost hit Neil until he got blown to smithereens. The explosion seemed to come from nowhere but Neil knew better.
"Odie! You saved my ass there. I don't expect you have any shotgun shells in that belt thingie you have there?"
Odie reached for the back of his belt. "No but you could use these," He handed him two 10 inch long knives.
"Alright!" Exclaimed Neil. "Bring it you hairy swine!" He charged headlong into another boar.
On the other side of the battlefield, a giant fell, gashed from end to end of his spine. A swift but deadly Theresa finished him off through the mouth. She jumped off beside Jay.
"Nice move." They were both breathing loudly.
"He smashed the window of Forever 21. He HAD THAT COMING." Theresa cried a battle cry and dived back into the brawl. Jay followed suit until he heard that fateful sound. It was that unforgettable roar that inspired unspeakable fear into both man and giant alike. There was only one thing he could do. Yell.
"TYPHON! TAKE COVER!"
Things are getting HARDCORE! Im going to leave it on a cliffhanger for tonight. Please review! :)
