The prisoner

Chapter twenty eight: Facing the Piper

It was carnage, Kronos had finally entered the Empire State builidng. Demigods and Satyrs were being casually tossed aside like leaves in a breeze.

That was until Kronos and Ethan Nakamura stepped onto the Connective Bridge. This bridge should it be destroyed spelt the end of Olympus for without it the mighty citadel would not be able to move to another location.

"You're very brave foolish Son of Hades and Poseidon or very foolish." Kronos stated at Harry who held his double edged sword in a stance that vaguely resembled Darth Maul's from 'Phantom Menace'.

"How about a little bit of both." With that Immortal and Invulnerable clashed on the bridge, the shockwaves rocking the real world.

Kronos was surprised, his opponent was exceptionally skilled in his weapons of choice twin swords, double ended and a chain. Along with various combinations of the weapons. Harry lashed out with the chain intent on skerwering Kronos in the face when time slowed down.

Kronos grinned, stepped to the side, grabbed the chain and casually with his Titanic strength cast the smouldering demigod off the connection. Harry's eyes widened as he saw his attack turned against him. His chain was secured solidly to his body, no way he could get free.

Meanwhile outside the Empire State Building, Katie Bell and Clarisse La Rue had successfully managed to rally the fragmented force of Olympus. The Children of War had become little more than berzerkers as they felt their fathers rage swim through their veins.

Clarisse was by far the chosen child. She was garbed in her fathers personal aura, the aura made her similar to Percy except it was temporary. Clarisse was now driving around the Empire State Building and three blocks in a chariot with the corpse of the Drakon trailing.

It was then an intervention of Hades, Demeter, Persephone and Nico who managed to save everyones bacon. The army of the Underworld flanked and began to massacre the swarming army of Kronos. "Lord Hades, Ladies Persephone and Demeter, if you wish to be truly accepted join the Olympians in holding back Typhon. Harry is holding off Kronos directly on the connectivity bridge..."

Suddenly a deafening thunderclap rocked the floor, Katie only managed to stay on her feet due to Hades grabbing her. He then plucked the falling shotgun out of the air. "Appears he has just been defeated. Miss Bell you honour me by standing by Harry, I shall assist my family." Hades said before summoning his chariot and taking flight.

Back on the bridge, Kronos grabbed Harry's wrist, twisted and effortlessly flipped the teen sending over the edge of the bridge and tumbling towards the earth. Kronos turned around and stalked off destination the Throne Room where Percy Jackson, Thalia Grace and Annabeth Chase were waiting for him. "My Lord, do you think Potter will survive that fall?"

Kronos smirked "Of course not. But if he does, he is truly a worthwhile opponent." What they didn't notice was a chain burying itself firmly into the bridge.

Kronos entered the the Throne Room to see Percy Jackson dismount his fathers throne his sword spinning expertly in his hand. Sycthe and blade clashed thunderously and the combatants sprang apart. Kronos staggered back slightly as his blade bounced on Percy's bare forearm.

Percy knew that he was outmatched but carried on regardless. Kronos launched his scythe at him propelling Percy up and into Hepheastus's throne activating a vicious tazer coil whoch he shoved into the possessed teens face.

Kronos staggered backwards, his scythe not jumping into his hand. "Percy, he's regenerating...If he...comes back...empower...other...titans."

Percy nodded, suddenly he was chucked backwards as Luke began to glow faintly. As Thalia and Annabeth staggered backwards trying to form a plan, they began to notice the slow but imminent glow of a titan beginning to show through. "Armpit...Weakness."

Then they heard it, a stumbling cascade of armoured boots and a vast amount of energy was felt as the Olympians charged into the room as Luke began to disspear. "Olympians cannot interfere." A booming voice ordered.

The gods froze as they heard the titan king speak. However a faint pop was heard as Harry appeared in the throne room. "Πόρτα στην κόλαση" Harry called and a black eery portal erupted into existance.

"You! SHOULD! BE! DEAD!" Snarled Kronos.

Harry smirked as he twirled the chain around "Yeah, get that a lot. Anyways I can't let you rematerialise." With that Harry launched the chain and with pinpoint precision assisted by Percy throwing Riptide both chain dagger and sword punched into the armpit of Luke.

Luke and Kronos screamed Riptide was slightly faster severing the connection between Titan and vessel. Luke shotbackwards like being chucked from a cannon as Kronos stepped out of the body glowing like a Time Lord about to undergo regeneration. "I HAVE WON!" He declared.

Suddenly a black chain erupted through the Titan King's chest. "Not yet. You're going to hell." What happened next amazed everyone even Katie Bell. Harry erupted into his Ghost Rider form and with a primal scream, turned and hurled the regenerating Titan King into the portal.

"BACK...TO...THE...PIT!" Harry exclaimed as the Titan King exploded into fragments. It appeared the twin attacks had hit and killed just in time.

"Well done, Rider. You defeated the Titan King we knew you would." The Olympians turned as they saw the gods of balance walking towards the Rider.

"Time for us to take back what we gave you...But for such a powerful action an equal one must happen."

Sammael and Azrael reacted to slowly as they finished speaking Harry keeled over, his own chain was now embedded in his stomach. "I'm sorry..."

Suddenly Harry was yanked through the portal which closed with a snap.
