Hey everyone I've returned. I apologize for not updating fast but I have been busy, so here's a new chapter for all of you. In here I will put battle scenes a lot cause this will last for a while. Also the reason I have been putting Thalia narrating the battles is cause it describes better what is happening but I will put a bit of Percy when he goes against one of the top battles in this arc. So enjoy.

The Battle for Troy pt 2

Thalia's POV

It's been two months since the war at Troy began and let me tell you it's been bloody. It seemed that the full force of Iapetus and Prometheus have been unleashed for this battle, not to mention the Fallen generals Ethan and Simon forces were there as well. Anyway it's been a bloody battle after the other, so far Troy has been busy. Their cavalry regiment have been raiding the enemies supply trucks left and right.

Meanwhile the Roman cavalry have been raiding slave camps to gather more allies. Also Percy has sent emissaries to the nomadic tribes around the area in the hope of assisting in the battle, some have answered the call, others refused to.

Speaking of Percy he's been fighting battle after battle, like last time a special force tried to invade through the harbor and so Percy took fifty soldiers to meet them in combat, the held that line until reinforcements had arrived.

Also he's been leading charge after charge, the reason was to give his people hope and to never give up, even though he could die any day now. But Percy always said that even if he died Troy will live, aside from him my brother Jason has been battling hard too. Both of them side by side have been in winning battles amazingly, twice they've brought Prometheus new cyborg soldiers to their knees.

And have crippled Iapetus daemon legion drastically, and also have made some monsters even join them. Hyperborean giants, telekhines, hellwolves (higher form of hellhounds they respect honor) and so on.

Also Percy's Trojans have been busy two. Beckendorf, Tyson and Leo have been forging weapons like crazy, they've gotten so good that they're like blurs crafting and is inspiring.

Aside from their normal forces, now they have automatons forces too and also undead warriors. And Percy has been has completely baffled the gods. He has battled in every fight there has been and has slain more creatures than Heracles himself.

He's taking out the Minotaur twice now, he wrestled the Nemean lion and has it fur as a cloak, slain a hydra and python the monster Apollo defeated, and even a Kampe monster.

The gods have been baffled with his skill in weaponry, even Artemis praised him n how use stealth to raid one of their bases. Ares also has praise him, the war god was baffled on how Percy commanded and fought. He was fierce in a fight, yet cool leading his forces, even Athena saw the he had wisdom as a leader. It was amazing how quickly he divide his forces, strengthen the weaker lines and fully used the strong ones.

But not all is happy, last week one of Percy's advisors Cynthia daughter of Athena died detonating a bomb to eliminating six drakons and also Simmons and the mercenary regiment that he leads fell in battle against some guerilla forces made of mortals and dracaenae, he died taking he died taking with him ten of his enemies, a hero till the end.

Then I spotted a squadron of those cyborgs that are called Sentinels. They were an experiment made by Hecate goddess of magic, see she took a lot of mortals and started enhancing them making them stronger, faster and have more endurance.

After that they go into a procedure created by Prometheus and the telekhines, mixing magic with engineering, implanting armor all over the body so it'll be difficult to be pierced, doing some brainwashing to make them feel no pain, no mercy and no doubt. Then finally Hecate or her children awaken them with their magic to fight for their cause.

That cause is Kronos, their his royal and personal guard, making it very difficult to harm him. Now those same sentinels are in combat with a cavalry led by Percy, but that won't stop the son of Poseidon. His hacking away no mercy at any enemy that there's face him in battle that included this super warriors. But as he finished the last of them, he was met with a new adversary, Iapetus the Piercer.

Percy's POV

So here I am fighting one of the most dangerous titans there was. My response is fuck I cannot catch a freaking break. So me and Iapetus circled around trying to find openings to strike, when Iapetus decided to just use brute force instead of tactics and attacked. I dodged barely that blow, if that speak catch me it'll shish kabob me armor and all. But even with his titan power it won't make a difference.

I parried blow after blow but he wouldn't give up and he could go on longer than me. He lunged at me but I quickly deflected the attack with my sword but it dislocated my shoulder. Crap this turned into a disadvantage. He grinned evilly and thrust at me. I ran out of the way dodging his weapon, as he hunted me, enjoying this moment.

"You can run but you can't hide Jackson!" he taunted.

I knew he was right but I needed an advantage here on how to win this fight. And I found the solution in a gun I found amidst the battle field. Quickly I ran to it and threw myself baseball style as Iapetus attacked yet again. Praying to the gods that the gun be loaded I pulled the trigger straight at his face.

Iapetus roared in pain and tried to punched me and succeeded hitting my in the ribs. Thankfully as I crashed into the ground my ribs weren't busted, but that didn't me the rest of my body wasn't. I could barely move my right arm, I looked as if I was stampede on and even though they weren't broken my ribs hurt like Tartarus.

Luckily Iapetus was still blinded by the rain of bullets and I took my chance to take him out of this battle for good. So I charged in my state and stabbed at his stomach, he howled in pain and his screech was so loud it unleashed a shockwave around that sent me flying into a boulder blacking out.

Third Person POV

The next hour was a blur to the two colliding forces. Now that the Trojan king Perseus was out of the battle by taking out Iapetus one of the leader of the enemy forces it was all up to Jason Grace to lead the two armies. The battle was fierce but it was thanks to the determination of both the Trojan and Roman forces made them win the battle.

The gods watch in amazement, most of them thought that morale would've been low with one of their leaders injured in the line of combat, but it was the opposite. They were stronger than ever as if they were inspired by their leaders determination that made them not lose the fight.

Now after a gruesome battle both sides retreated to gather their forces, treat their injured and burn their dead. By the looks of things it will be a while before another battle starts. So for now there will be a temporary peace amongst the armies.

Percy's POV

I stirred slowly from my slumber and wondering what happened to me. The first thing I noticed was Piper sleeping at my left. I wondered why she was here but apparently my stirring woke her up. She looked drowsy at first but when she looked at me she snapped awake.

"Percy how do you feel?" she asked concerned.

"What happened?" I asked her still confused.

"Don't you remember you fought Iapetus and got injured." she explained.

"Oh yeah, how did the battle went?"

"We won, the enemy retaliated but we held them off and they were forced to retreat, so now we have a chance to rest."

"I see…" I trailed off. I wondered why she cared so much about my well-being.

"Tell me Piper why do you care such much for me? I asked her.

In return she did something I wasn't expecting. She kissed me and it felt good. Her lips were warm and moist, she smelled like strawberries. To tell you the truth I have zero experience with girls before and after this life started so in this moment it made felt like I was just a normal teenager and this was a normal life. But like all good things it ended just as quickly as it came. She broke the kiss blushing a little and me probably the same way.

"So…" I trailed.

"So what now?" she asked. I looked at her and it made me realize that even I need to have some happiness in this war.

"Now we're going to enjoy the time that will have before this battle recommences."

And with that I kissed her again, knowing that even with all the hardships that will happen I'll be the girl I like.

Even during wars life goes on. I'm sorry I haven't update but I had summer school and I focused on it to finish fast and it worked. So I'll have free time to give you the next chapters. So like I said before I put Percy/Piper moment, now I don't know how to express love fluffs so I hope that it worked well. So Iapetus is out of commission what would happen next. I don't know but I'll see what I can think off. So review and enjoy this chapter. Until next time.
