God of War Revenge final part
When the Phoenix flew to the far away mountain and got to the very top, Calliope jumped off the flaming bird and saw that she was now in the Temple of the Fates and saw that time was slowed down by a crystal on the upper level. The Ghost of Sparta then got to the crystal and destroyed it, restoring time to normal
To get further, Calliope knew that she would have to make both bells in the room ring at the same time, so she jumped towards the Chronos bell and moved it before slowing down time with the Amulet of the Fates, got back to the central platform and used the battering ram to activate the Zeus bell, doing it quickly enough to make the statue at the center of the room crack.
Lady Death then dived into the water and pulled an underwater lever before returning to the surface and using the turnstile so that the blue crystal got into place before going back underwater and using the lever again to rotate the battering ram, making it face the statue before using it to destroy the statue, finding a corridor before going into it and opening 2 chests and heading through the circular hallway, opening a nearby gate before going up the stairs and getting to the Throne of Lahkesis.
As Calliope jumped up to the next platform, she was greeted by Lahkesis, who flew down to her. "We have been expecting you."
"Then you know why I have come!" Calliope angrily said.
Lakhesis was not amused by Calliope's threats and warned her. "Your resolve is admirable, even if it is misguided. None can change their destiny, Calliope, nor that of your precious Alecto or that of your daughter's. We Sisters determine the fate of all. It was I that deemed the Titans lose the Great War and I that have allowed you to come this far." Though her words sounded wise, all Calliope could hear was more deception. "It is not your destiny to kill Zeus."
Calliope then faces Lakhesis. "You no longer control my destiny!"
Lahkesis then mocked the former Goddess of War. "I sense that Gaia has filled you with her lies."
Having had enough of the lies of the Sisters, Lady Death grabbed Lahkesis by the throat. "No! She has shown me the truth, that it was Zeus who was my true enemy all along! Now let me pass!"
Lahkesis then pushed Calliope back from her and smirked. "You have always been a stubborn one, Calliope. But know this fallen Goddess. There is no power greater than the Sisters of Fate. If you challenge us, you will die!"
Calliope then drew her blades. "So be it, bitch. Bring it!"
The battle against the Sister of Fate seemed difficult at first, but it got fairly easy once Calliope began using the Golden Fleece to reflect Lahkesis' green projectiles back at her, causing her some pain while also avoiding her other attacks by using the grappling hooks and also using Chronos' Rage and short-based combos.
Once Calliope dealt enough damage to the Sister of Fate, she started to electrocute the floor from time to time. When Calliope saw that about to happen, she used the grappling hooks to avoid it while jumping from one hook to another when the Sister was firing beams at the Ghost of Sparta. When Lahkesis was in the air, Calliope reflected her projectiles back at her, stunning her long enough for Lady Death to stay her to the floor really hard!
Lahkesis got back up before saying. "You do not defy fate, Calliope! For we have guided the events of your life!" Before using her powers as a shadow spread through the room until getting to one of the mirrors before the 2nd Sister of Fate Atropos appeared out of it.
"And now, that life is at an end. We control your destiny, foolish mortal!" Atropos said with evil before grabbing Calliope and taking her into the glowing mirror, taking her back to the time she and her lover faced Ares at the moment he attacked Calliope mentally, putting her on the very sword she used to kill the long dead God of War. "Search your memory, Calliope. The sword you're standing on helped you win against Ares. Without it, it will be you and your family who did this day, not Ares. We can change your past and set your future! This is the power of the Fates!" She said before firing a green beam on the blade, cracking it!
Calliope knew that she couldn't let evil sister destroy the giant sword, so as weak undead soldiers appeared, Calliope used her Chronos Rage to kill them while using her magic against Atropos herself as well while also reflecting Atropos' beams back at her with the Fleece. And at the end, the Ghost of Sparta got to Atropos and stabbed her with her blades while protecting the sword long enough for her past self to get it, saving her future and getting back to the Throne room.
"I'm through playing games with you, Calliope. This power was never meant for a mortal like you!" Lahkesis said with anger.
Calliope then combated both of the two sisters at once, focusing on Lahkesis and fighting her in the same way as she did before, but with the Sister leader using a lot less beams and allowing the Ghost of Sparta to use her own weapons more while trying to avoid Atropos' energy beams. And whenever Lady Death dealt enough damage to Lahkesis, she stopped time with the Amulet using the crystal on the Sister leader's staff and dealt with Atropos by attacking her and forcing her into the mirror she was in, breaking it as she went into it before Calliope repeated the process until only the 3rd mirror was left! Calliope then got Lahkesis' staff and stabbed her with it as Atropos grabbed her, allowing her sister to try to attack Lady Death but she got free and used the grappling hook near the left as Lahkesis stabbed Atropos instead before Calliope swung the Sister leader into the mirror as she used 1 of her blades to stab her in the head before she was all the way into the mirror as it broke, trapping both sisters inside it before Calliope used her blades to completely shatter the mirror, killing them both while revealing a secret room.
The Ghost of Sparta then continued into the next room, grabbed the wall and went along the ceiling to get to a balcony on the upper level before gliding to the ledges on the left and on the right where she opened 4 chests before going further and seeing the last Sister of Fate Clothos, who was much bigger and much more uglier than her sisters.
Calliope then smashed through the wall on the right and went down the stairs. As she went down, lots of enemies appeared as barriers surrounded her, but she easily defeated them all by using her weapons and magic to kill them while also using the barriers to split them into smaller groups to make them easier to deal with until she got to a locked door and opened it before going through it.
"My friend, Clothos controls all the threads of life for every mortal, god and Titan. Find your thread and you will be able to return to the time when Zeus betrayed you and save your family and Sophie."
Calliope then moved under the spinning blades and reached the Sister's ugly body before turning left and hitting the moving limb a few times to stun it, quickly using the turnstile when it wasn't moving to open the bars above it.
After stunning the arm once more and use the nearby stairs to glide towards the chest that she opened, Calliope used the climbable wall to go along the ceiling to the other side until she got caught by the other limb. After she freed herself from its grip and destroyed the two skeletons that blocked the grating, Lady Death jumped down and used the other turnstile and reached the upper platform just as she did a moment ago to get to a middle level.
To get any further, Calliope immobilized three of Clothos' limbs, stunning the first one with a few hits then jumping on a nearby rope, climbing it up and using the lever to lower the anchor while being quick about it and going to the next limb before stunning it and using the lever that opened a small hatch in the floor while opening the chest there before stunning the limb and using the lever again to catch it inside the hatch. To immobilize the final limb, Calliope grabbed a mechanism that was positioned near the second one and rotated it counter-clockwise until it was placed under small, metal hands. She then stood on the button that was on the mechanism itself before a blade appeared and the Ghost of Sparta stunned the final limb and pushed the mechanism so that the blade was directly over the limb before stunning it again and grabbing the newly appeared rope and going up to the top level.
There, Calliope saw Clotho in all her ugliness before slowing down time freely and stunning her hands, just as she did the ones down below before going right and up the wall before she destroyed the skeletons that were blocking her path. She then grabbed a handle of a rotating mechanism and pushed it two segments to the left to position it under a hanging chain and used the lever in the middle to bring about a giant blade. After rotating it, she pushed it to the ugliest Sister of Fate and, after a little effort, stabbed Clotho in the head, killing her almost instantly and ending the Sisters of Fate forever.
Calliope then went through the nearby door and got to the upper level by pulling a lever before diving under the gate and reaching a huge, magical mirror before Gaia spoke again.
"The power of the Fates resides in these great mirrors, Calliope. Find your thread and you will be able to control the mirrors and use them as a gateway to return to the time when Zeus betrayed you and save your family and Sophie, my dear friend.
After Calliope used the lever in front of her to bring up the destiny threads, she went back to them and looked for hers before finally finding her thread. As she pulled it, she saw on the mirror of time images of her past before making it to the Temple of the Fates: her fighting the Kraken. Fighting king Tyndareus. Calliope on her knees crying with a dead Sophie in her arms. Speaking to Atlas. Her and Sophie's fight with the Barbarian king Alrik. Then suddenly, the mirror showed Calliope the image of her and Sophie having sex.
As she stopped while looking at the image, it still pained Calliope that she'd cheated on Alecto and defiled herself with her daughter's fiancé. She'd preferred to forget this memory and mentally struggled with those thoughts as tears fell from her eyes, making her to twist her tread. 'I'm sorry... I'm so sorry, Alecto! Sylvia! I'm so... SORRY!'
As Calliope twisted her tread so tight, the image in the mirror suddenly broke before
the Ghost of Sparta's eyes went wide, as the memory of that event was... gone. "What?" She asked with confusion before Lady Death looked at the blank image and wiped away the tears from her eyes, not knowing why she was crying.
But remembering she had to change her destiny in order to save Alecto, Sylvia and Sophie, she left this moment out of her mind and kept pulling her tread until she'd found the image of herself being stabbed in the chest by Zeus with the Blade of Olympus.
With her rising anger, she let go of the thread and ran towards the mirror. "I'm gonna get you, Zeus! Do you hear me!? YOU'RE GONNA PAY FOR EVERYTHING!"
With only a few seconds left, she jumped into the mirror!
As Calliope runs into the mirror of destiny, where Zeus betrayed her she saw her enemy stabbing the Blade of Olympus into her past self, he asked the same question she'd heard when the moment occurred. "Even now as you draw your last breath you continue to defy me!?" He before he came closer and stared into Calliope's face, but was then thrown away by the future self of Calliope.
As Zeus stood up, he stared with wide eyes to see two Calliope's! One on the floor dying with the Blade of Olympus deep in her chest and another giving a dead glare on him and a huge scar on her chest. He looked at the future Calliope. "What? How can this be? The Sisters of Fate have aided you. How unexpected."
As the past self of Calliope faded away and the future self of Calliope remained, Lady Death pulled the Blade out of the ground as she spoke coldly. "The Sisters... are dead."
Zeus was surprised by hearing this. "Hmm, I have underestimated you." Before he then charged a lightning bolt in his hand. "A mistake I do not intend to repeat!"
Both then charged at each other, with Calliope having the Blade of Olympus in her hands as they continued in the skies until Calliope landed on the Summit of Sacrifice and drained the Blade, gaining back her Godly powers while Zeus gathered his powers and said loudly. "Now, Lady Death I will show you the true power of a God!"
Calliope looked every way on the Summit but didn't see Zeus. Then, before her appeared a giant version of the King of the Gods, showing with his lightning strikes his true power, but Calliope was not afraid by that as she took the Blade, now ready to have her revenge!
Zeus then summoned sirens, so Calliope focused on them, easily killing them and when they released shockwaves, Zeus was stunned for a few seconds, long enough for Calliope to hurt his right hand before stabbing it, causing him great pain before he changed into his normal size and they began to fight to the death, being evenly matched as Calliope had her godly powers again.
Zeus had managed to get the Blade from Calliope while saying. "You may have your godly powers again, but you are still no match for me!"
"We'll see about that, Zeus!" Calliope yelled as she called upon her Titan Rage and battled Zeus with her blades and her magic, which was now godly enhanced, still evenly matched even if the King of the Gods had the Blade.
When Calliope managed to grab back the Blade from Zeus, she stabbed him and smacked him to a nearby pillar as she screamed. "I will kill you for what you have done to me!" As she grabbed the pillar to beat him and said. "I will not let you destroy Greece!" Before Zeus tried to get up but was slashed by Calliope with the blade. "AND I WILL NOT LET YOU KILL MY FAMILY!"
Zeus had enough of this and grabbed back the Blade. "I will show you no mercy, fallen Goddess!"
With Alecto and Sylvia on Olympus
With Calliope having changed her fate and those who she loved, her lover and daughter were now both alive and well, along with Sophie, who was where she was when this moment occurred, and as such, had no memory of her journey with Calliope especially the part where they had sex to ease their pain. But even though they were all alive, they still wouldn't be safe if they stayed on Olympus.
Alecto walked across the living room while Sylvia was watching out from a window, with Alecto getting worried. 'What's going on? Calliope should have been back by now?' She mentally asked herself.
Then all the sudden, Fotis burst through the door, surprising both Alecto and Sylvia as he panted, as if death itself had been chasing him. "Fotis?" Sylvia asked. "What is going on?"
"You both have to leave, now!"
Sylvia was confused for what her personal servant was saying, as not even for Alecto it made no sense. "Leave? Why do we-?
"Lady Calliope is fighting Lord Zeus!" Fotis nearly yelled out.
Alecto and Sylvia were shocked to hear this. "What?! Why is-?"
Fotis interrupted his mistresses. "Zeus wanted to kill Lady Calliope, but somehow the Sisters of Fate allowed her to change her fate! They are fighting now on the Summit of Sacrifice! Both of you need to leave Olympus, it's no longer safe for you here!"
Alecto understood full well, as Zeus had shown some jealousy towards them and her lover over the last few years for all the good things that they did for the people. But that he was planning to kill Calliope was unheard of!
Alecto then glanced at her daughter. "Pack your things Sylvia, but only take necessary things!"
Sylvia nodded and went straight to her room. Fortunately, she was used to packing small when she went out on an assignment or an adventure with Pandora, and now with Sophie. Even after 4 months she still missed Pandora terribly. But now she could make Zeus pay for what she did to her. However, her mind was also on her beloved Sophie, whom she'd asked to marry her only a week ago. Sylvia wanted to tell her fiance where she was going and ask her to come with them, but she felt that there wasn't enough time for that.
It didn't take long before she came out of her room, wearing her armor and swords, with her backpack over her shoulders. When her mother was almost done, Sylvia asked Fotis. "Why don't you come with us?"
Fotis shook his head. "I wish I could milady, but my place is here. I took a vow to serve Olympus a long time ago and that's something I cannot break. I'm sorry."
It made Sylvia sad that her servant, who she considered now as a friend couldn't come with them. But she couldn't force him to come, so she understood. But then she asked Fotis sadly. "Fotis... please tell Sophie... why I had to leave... and tell her... that I love her!"
He smiled and nodded. "Do not worry, milady, I'll tell your fiance why you had to leave and... I'll tell her you love her."
Sylvia then gave Fotis a hug. "Please be careful." She whispered.
"I will milady. I will." Fotis promised
That was when Alecto came in with her supplies. "It's time."
Sylvia let go of Fotis and nodded. They said their final goodbye to Fotis and left the house fast. When Pegasus landed near them, the winged stallion already felt what was going on and was going to help his friends to escape Olympus.
Not long after they flew off Olympus, Alecto started to land, confusing Sylvia. "Mom, why are we landing?" She asked her mother.
"You're staying here, it'll be dangerous if we go together and help Calliope."
But Sylvia protested. "No way! I'm going with you to face Zeus, I've stood against worse monsters before! I can fight him!"
"Listen to me, Sylvia, this is not a funny adventure or some ordinary mission, this is something serious between life and death and I will not be responsible for the death of my child!"
When Pegasus touched down, Sylvia looked angrily at her mother as they dismounted the horse. "I'm a warrior now, mom! I am not a child anymore!"
"Don't give me that tone, young lady! You're staying here and that's final!"
Then before Alecto went to leave, Sylvia tried to convince her mother in a different way. "What if Zeus comes for me?!"
Alecto looked at her. "What?"
"Have you maybe thought about that if Zeus escapes, he will see me as an easy target because you left me behind!?"
Alecto felt that her daughter was right. She would surely be killed by Zeus if he escaped. The ex-Fury Queen then sighed and stepped off of Pegasus to face her daughter.
"Just let me help you and mamma Calliope. I can do this." Sylvia begged.
Alecto put her hands on Sylvia's shoulders. "All right, but promise me that you will keep a safe distance and if anything goes wrong, you just go with Pegasus and go as far away from here as you can."
Sylvia smiled as she nodded to her mother "I promise." Before both embraced in a daughter and mother hug. And not long after they flew away with Pegasus to go and help Calliope.
Back with Calliope fighting Zeus
Calliope slammed Zeus again to a piece of wall and smacked him down with a broken pillar. "I told you I would make you suffer for what you did!"
Zeus broke himself free and jumped out of the Summit and grew once again in his huge form, facing the Ghost of Sparta. "I am through playing with you, Calliope!" He said before shooting huge lightning bolts at her.
Calliope was unable to reach Zeus by all this. But then all of a sudden, she yelled out. "I lay down my arms, Zeus! You win!"
Zeus had not expected this sudden surrender from her. But he transformed back to his normal size and stepped over to Lady Death while she placed the Blade of Olympus before him, turned her back and dropped to her knees with her hands in the air.
"Release me from this torment of life." She pleaded. However she did this only in the hope Zeus will fall to her deception and would drop his defense.
And It seemed that Zeus had fallen into her trap as he took the Blade, ready to execute her. "I will release you from your life, my child." But as he was raising the blade, he gave an evil smirk. "But your torment is just beginning!"
Then Calliope turned fast and blocked Zeus' attack with her Golden Fleece! After beating on him rocks and slashing him with her blades, she held him unto a wall and stabbed him with the Blade in his chest.
But then suddenly Athena appears and fends off Calliope from killing Zeus. "You cannot do this, Calliope!"
Calliope was determined not to be stopped by her former friend from her revenge. "Stand aside Athena, this is between me and him!"
Athena shook her head. "I do not wish to fight you Calliope, but I will defend Olympus!"
Alecto and Sylvia arrived with Pegasus at that same time, seeing what was happening while Athena tried to fight off Calliope.
As this was happening, Zeus raised himself, threatening before he would escape. "Know this, Lady Death. You have started a war you cannot possibly win."
"I did not start this war, Zeus..." Calliope started before she then pushed Athena out of the way with her Spartan Fury unleashed. "BUT I WILL FINISH IT!" She finished as she charged at Zeus, ready to finally kill him, but then...
"No Calliope! Stop!" Athena yelled before she jumped in front of Zeus and was stabbed in the chest!
Calliope gasped in shock, seeing what she had just done. "Athena! No!"
Alecto and Sylvia watched with horror at what had just happened as Zeus made his escape as Athena was dying at the hands of Lady Death before they dismounted Pegasus and ran to Calliope. "Mom!" Sylvia called out.
Calliope was very surprised when she saw her lover and daughter. "Sylvia... Alecto." She said with happiness, so glad to see her daughter and her lover alive again.
She wished she could hug them both right now, but was now facing a dying Athena.
As she pulled the blade out of her chest, Calliope held the dying goddess in her arms. "Why did you sacrifice yourself?"
With a sad look in her eyes, Athena answered. "I... did it... to save Olympus."
"Athena, I never sought to destroy Olympus. Only Zeus."
Athena then held tightly to Calliope. "Zeus is Olympus!"
Calliope then looked angry at her. "Zeus brought this all to himself. He betrayed me... killed my family."
Sylvia and Alecto were now confused. Zeus hadn't killed them at all. But then Alecto reminded herself of what Fotis told them, that Calliope used the power of the Sisters of Fate to change the past and now knew that she and Sylvia must have been killed by Zeus but because of Calliope, it never happened due to these events.
A tear fell from Athena's left eye. "He did it because of fear, Calliope. A fear felt by his father Cronos. A fear that brought the Great War. A fear that drove Zeus to kill you..." She started before she then held her one hand on Calliope's cheek and spoke the words that would haunt Lady Death forever. "His own granddaughter."
Calliope, Alecto and Sylvia stared in shock at Athena of the words she just spoke. Calliope couldn't believe what she had just heard. "His... granddaughter?!"
Athena slowly nodded. "Just as Zeus was compelled to destroy his father Cronos, you were compelled to do the same."
"But... but i'm not Zeus'..."
Athena coughed out blood and told further. "When you killed your father Kratos, Zeus thought that the prophecy of his own son, a marked warrior, would... never rise against him to destroy him. (cough) But then you took the same mark and the curse intended for your father. Zeus was again consumed by the same fear when you destroyed Ares. Same as... when your daughter Sylvia was born, who had been born with the same mark as that of your uncle Deimos. No kin should destroy its own."
Calliope was overwhelmed by all this. All this time Zeus was her father Kratos' father, making her the granddaughter of the King of the Gods! But knowing of how much pain and suffering he had brought upon him and her family, she glared at Athena, not willing to see Zeus as her family after what he tried to do to her and for what'd he'd done to all those innocent people. "No! Zeus means nothing to me, not now and not ever!"
Athena shook her head and begged Lady Death. "God after God will deny you now, Calliope. They will protect Zeus, no matter what. Zeus must live so that... Olympus would... prevail." She said as her final words before the Goddess of Wisdom Athena died in Calliope's arms.
Calliope let go of Athena's body and instantly hugged her lover and her daughter. She couldn't stop herself from hugging now due to how much she'd missed them both and believing she'd lost them forever. Then from Athena's body, a powerful green energy emerged and in a shockwave the Goddess of Wisdom was no more before Calliope then broke the hug and faced the horizon.
"This is unbelievable! All this time... Zeus was... family!?" Sylvia asked as she was shocked beyond disbelief of what had just happened. First Zeus tried to kill her mother and was planning to kill herself and Alecto, and now it turned out he was fearing them for some prophecy that his grandchild would rise against him.
Alecto couldn't believe all this too, but now it made so much sense. Zeus was not really jealous of what they'd done for the people, he was afraid that Calliope or Sylvia would one day destroy his reign.
"But what do we do now?" Sylvia asked. "The Gods will hunt us down no matter where we go."
Alecto agreed with her daughter by nodding as Calliope turned herself back to them and took the Blade of Olympus. "I vowed a long time ago that I will defend the innocent and get rid of any tyrant. Now it is clear to all of us that Zeus was the true tyrant, how he tortured the Titans and neglected mankind! If all of Olympus is with him... then they all shall meet the same fate! The time of the Gods has come to an END!"
Alecto was more than ready to help her lover. She'd conspired once with her former lover Ares against Olympus, but now... she will do it to free the world of Olympus.
Sylvia, as the fierce warrior she ever was, wouldn't doubt a moment to aid her mothers and avenge Pandora.
Then Calliope heard the voice of Gaia in her head. "Remember Calliope, you have the power to control time itself."
And with her new time powers, she returned to the Loom of Fate together with Alecto and Sylvia. For the upcoming battle against Zeus and the other Gods... they need the help of the Titans!
Back on Olympus, while Calliope took Alecto and Sylvia through the portal
What had happened in Rhodes spread like wildfire on Olympus. There was great indignation among the servants. None could've ever expected that the King of the Gods would conspire to kill Calliope, the Goddess who had done so much for them and the people across Greece.
Sophie, who was in the same place she was when those moments occurred, and as such, had no had no memory of her journey with Calliope, was with many people at the square, close to the arena; servants, soldiers and soldiers-in-training, all who were beyond disbelief and anger.
Fotis had just told her why Sylvia had to leave and tell her that she loves her. It saddened Sophie that she didn't have a chance to go with the woman she loved, but understood why she had to leave. Then she looked among the people who were left to their fates by Zeus for too long and owed so much to Calliope and Alecto for helping them.
Sophie knew they needed to be inspired, so she called their attention. "SERVANTS AND SOLDIERS OF OLYMPUS!" She yelled out before all looked at Sophie as she started saying. "Zeus has neglected us for years, abandoned us and ignored our prayers! And had now attempted to kill the Goddess of War, Calliope! The women that had done for us, for all of Greece so much!" All agreed and cheered. "Do we just stand here and watch the Gods destroy our lives!?"
"NO!" They all yelled out.
"Then I call upon you all, take arms and fight against the monster that calls himself the ruler of Olympus and all who stand with him! Do not be afraid! Calliope had shown us many years ago, THAT YOU CAN KILL A GOD! SO I CALL UPON YOU, FIGHT FOR YOUR LIVES, FIGHT FOR HUMANITY! FIGHT FOR FREEDOOOOOOM!".
All raised their hands and swords, calling out. "DEATH TO ZEUS!" They cried out, the rebellion against Zeus having begun. A large portion of the servants and soldiers on Olympus joined the rebellion, but some remained loyal to Zeus or stayed out of the conflict.
Back with Calliope, Alecto and Sylvia
Calliope, together with her lover Alecto and their daughter Sylvia, went through the portal back to the Loom of Fate. Sylvia was amazed as she was in the lair of the Sisters of Fate. But her amazement was cut short when the roof started to crack and was about to collapse.
Calliope looked at her lover and daughter, stating. "You guys wait here, I'll be right back!"
As she was about to leave, Alecto asked her. "Wait! What are you going to do, Calliope?"
Calliope then turned to her lover. "If we are about to face Zeus and the other Gods, we're going to need help."
"But from who, Mom?" Sylvia asked, confused.
Calliope didn't have the time for explanations as the lair was about to collapse, so she just said. "Just trust me, okay?" Before both Alecto and Sylvia nodded.
Calliope went back, using her thread. She pulled her thread so far back, the image showed just before the end of the Great War. When Calliope let her thread go, she hurried herself back up, where Alecto and Sylvia waited. Sylvia was confused why her mother wanted to go so far in time, but as Calliope came back, she started to understand. They needed the help of the Titans to defeat Olympus. Calliope glanced at Alecto and Sylvia one more time before they all nodded and went through the portal.
Sylvia was stunned from the destructive landscape. All the Titans, fighting the Gods of Olympus as Alecto stood close with her daughter while Lady Death looked up to the closest Titan and yelled. "GAIA!"
Gaia stopped and turned herself, looking down. She was glad to see the one who was foretold to free the Titans. "We have been expecting you, Ghost of Sparta. The Gods are far too powerful for us to defeat now."
Calliope ensured her new friend. "That won't be forever, Gaia. All of the Gods tremble at our names." The Ghost of Sparta meant that not only the Gods fear her, but her lover and daughter as well. "Zeus is weak! Ares and Athena are dead, by my hands and I have the Blade! We can win the Great War, but not in this time!" She said as she looked how the Titans were losing the battle, as the young version of Zeus was about to use the Blade of Olympus. Then she said to Gaia. "If we stand together, we can destroy the Gods, see Olympus crumble and free the world of Zeus's evil reign!" Then Calliope used the power of time to take Gaia and many other Titans with her and her family to the present. "Come with us, Gaia! Return to our time!"
And just as Zeus used the Blade to finally end the war, Calliope with her family and many Titans teleported away... to the present.
As all of the Titans arrived, the entire spire that held the Temple of the Sisters was destroyed in a powerful blast! The Titans opened their eyes and saw they were in the future. They felt control and oppression in the elements of the world. Something that would give them a heavy headache as Calliope, Alecto and Sylvia stood on the shoulder of Gaia.
But before they could march on to Mt. Olympus, there was still something the Ghost of Sparta had to do. She had a promise to fulfill to another Titan: Atlas. She whistled loudly and Pegasus arrived before Calliope told Alecto. "Listen, you go ahead with the Titans. I'll be joining you shortly, baby."
"But, what are you going to do, baby?" Alecto asked.
"I have a promise to fulfill to Atlas." Calliope answered.
Alecto's eyes went wide as she didn't know why Calliope was going to meet their old enemy.
But Calliope assured her. "Trust me, I know what I'm doing."
Alecto nodded as she trusted her lover. "Be careful, baby."
Then Calliope told Sylvia. "Sylvia, you're coming with me."
Sylvia was a bit unsure, but always wanted to see the Titan Atlas, as her mothers told her the story of them facing him before when Persephone tried to destroy the world. The little warrior princess nodded and both sat on Pegasus and flew away with the flying stallion, with Gaia already knowing what the Ghost of Sparta was about to do.
Not long after, they dived with Pegasus into the pit where Calliope fell into when she faced Icarus. Some time later, they arrived in the Underworld, near the destroyed top of the Pillar where Atlas was still holding the world. When the Titan had heard Lady Death arriving, he reached out his free hand, allowing them to land with Pegasus.
Calliope and Sylvia dismounted from Pegasus and faced the Titan. "Calliope. You have returned! ...I sensed Gaia and my other brothers and sisters' presence. So you used the power of time to bring them back? Very good. I trust you have back the Amulet?"
Calliope nodded and took the Amulet from her bag, showing it to Atlas. "A promise is a promise, Atlas."
Atlas smiled, as Lady Death did come back as she'd promised him.
Calliope then glanced at Sylvia, who was amazed to see the four armed Titan. She looked at her mother, who instructed her. "Listen Sylvia, you use the Amulet while I'll break the chains from Atlas. You still remember to use the Amulet?" Calliope asked her daughter while handing over the Amulet.
Sylvia nodded as she took the Amulet. "Yes, Mom. You've shown me many times."
Calliope smiled at her daughter and turned to climb on top of Atlas to position herself to break the chains while Sylvia went to the edge of Atlas's hand to get close enough to repair the Pillar.
When Calliope was at one chain, she yelled to her daughter. "Now!"
Sylvia then used the Amulet's power to repair the Pillar! Slowly the broken parts from down below floated up, every single piece that was destroyed was slowly repairing.
Then Calliope told Atlas. "Okay Atlas, I'm going to break the chains now, but don't let go of the world yet until I say so!"
Atlas nodded and Calliope then broke the chains. "Understood!"
As Lady Death broke the last chain, she watched how far the Pillar war repaired. It was almost done, but not yet... Then after a minute she said. "Now Atlas! You can let go!"
Sighing loudly in relief, Atlas let go and just at that moment, the top parts of the Pillar were repaired, holding the world once more as Atlas quickly held on to the side of the Pillar to make space for the final pieces.
The world crumbled a bit down, but Sylvia used all her powers into the Amulet to hold on. And then... the Pillar was finished! It held the world on perfectly as how it was built in the early days of the world. Sylvia fell on her knees. Tired from using so much energy, but was happy that she was able to do it.
Atlas climbed down from the Pillar, close to the old Temple of Persephone. As he was down, he rubbed his hands and smiled brightly when he breathed the free fresh air once again. "Finally... free from holding the world on my shoulders." Then he held the hand where Sylvia and Calliope were on closer and said proudly. "Thank you, Ghost of Sparta, for keeping your promise."
Calliope smiled and asked. "I guess now we are even then?"
The Titan nodded. "We are."
However, there was something else on Calliope's mind. The images of her daughter, slaughtered by the hands of Zeus made her scared that the same thing will happen again if Sylvia will go with her and Alecto. She then asked Atlas. "Atlas! I need to ask you a favor."
"What would that be, Lady Death?"
"I'm asking you to protect my daughter and keep her here in the Underworld, until Zeus and all of Olympus has been defeated."
Sylvia, shocked to hear this, marched up to her mother. "Now wait just a minute, Mom! What do you mean I have to stay in the Underworld?!"
Calliope faced her daughter very seriously and told her. "Sylvia, listen to me! This isn't an ordinary mission. This is a serious matter between life and death that could endanger the whole world! I and Alecto are going with the Titans to face Olympus."
Sylvia tried to convince her mother. "Mom! This is what I have been trained for my whole life! Let me fight with you!"
"NO! You may be strong, but you're not ready to face Zeus or the other Gods! You will get yourself killed!"
Now Sylvia was getting really angry. "Like hell I am staying here! I AM GOING WITH YOU TO FIGHT ZEUS! HE DESERVES TO PAY FOR WHAT HE HAS DONE TO PANDORA!"
Then Calliope looked at Sylvia with the most serious face she'd ever given her. Like a mother telling her daughter a very serious life lesson. Sylvia was scared of this look. No words came from Calliope, only the look.
Sylvia then nodded. "Okay... I'll stay with Atlas." Before Calliope nodded.
Atlas let them have their talk before he said to Lady Death. "I will do so. As tribute for releasing me and helping my brothers and sisters against the Olympians, I will protect your daughter with my life, Ghost of Sparta."
"Thank you, Atlas." Calliope said while she smiled at her new ally... and new friend.
Calliope and Sylvia gave each other one last hug, embracing for a long time, for this could be the last time they'd ever have this moment, as maybe they'd never see each other again. A tear came from Calliope's eye, for this was almost exactly like when she embraced her father the last time so many years ago, when he was still alive before he took that damned blood oath to Ares.
The Ghost of Sparta then looked at her daughter as she cried a bit too. "Please come back safe, you and momma Alecto."
Calliope nodded. "I will, sweetheart. I promise... we will see each other again." Before they shared one last hug before Calliope let her daughter go and went on Pegasus.
Sylvia then called out to her birth mother. "Give Zeus a punch from me!"
Calliope smiled as she whipped away a tear. "I will...!"
Then she looked at Atlas, who said. "Don't worry, Lady Death. No harm will come to Sylvia, as long as I'm alive."
"Thank you, my friend." Calliope said before she flew away with the flying stallion Pegasus, back to the surface to join her lover and the Titans.
Meanwhile with Alecto and the Titans
While Alecto gathered the Titans before the main assault on Olympus, Thera, the Titan that she and Calliope had freed at Atlantis joined them as well. Thera had been in hiding for years and was happy to see the other Titans. "Gaia. It's been too long." The old Titan said to Gaia.
Gaia placed her hand on her shoulder and said. "It's good to see you again, Terra. Now the time has come to rise up against the Olympians and take back our world!"
Perses, another Lava Titan then demanded. "What about our king, Cronos? He is our leader and he should-"
But Thera protested against this. "No! Cronos had used us only for his own gain!"
Perses and a few other Titans did not appreciate how Thera doubted their king.
Gaia however defended Thera and spoke. "Brothers! Sisters! Don't you understand, any of you? Cronos' fear of his own son, Zeus was the reason for our torment in the Underworld, the reason we have been imprisoned for so long! The Titans were supposed to take care and watch over the world and the mortals, not ruling over them!"
A few Titans disagreed, but some Titans agreed with Gaia and Thera. "Gaia is right. Cronos left us to our fates, only for power!"
"No! Cronos is our king, he knows what is right for us and the world!" Another Titan said back.
This erupted in a fierce argument among the Titans as Alecto became afraid that this would cause a civil war between the Titans and so she called out to them. "EVERYONE!" Before The Titans looked surprised at the ex Fury Queen. "I know that most of you see Cronos as your rightful ruler, but he is not who he seems! I can know, because me and my sisters saw what his true intentions were! We never said anything because of mine and my sisters way from back then, but now I can show you!"
She then raised her arms as she used her powers to show the Titans Cronos' memories. Alecto focused really hard to make a connection with the Titan King's mind and showing the Titans of what Cronos really was. Perses and the others looked at how Cronos killed his own father for power. How he evilly laughed as he had control over the elements of the world. How Cronos lied to the other Titans of his true intentions, his fear of his son Zeus would kill him to take his place. In the last flashes of Cronos' memories they saw the same evil laughter of Zeus as equal as Cronos as when he and the Olympian Gods gained control over the world and the mortals.
After showing this revelation to them, Perses fell on his knees in shock, as did the other TItans after seeing how evil Cronos truly is, just as his son Zeus. Perses looked back at Gaia and felt ashamed for ever trusting Cronos. "I'm... so sorry, Gaia. We didn't know his true intentions."
Gaia smiled and knew that the other Titans felt sorry for ever trusting Cronos. "It's not too late to change our ways." She said before Perses nodded, as did the other Titans.
Alecto felt more sad then happy now. "I'm sorry for not showing this to you sooner, but I have changed since then..."
Gaia and the other Titans gave her an assuring smile as the Mother of Earth spoke gently to her. "We know, Alecto. And now is the time to do the right thing, to free the world."
Alecto nodded as she wiped away her tears, feeling thankful that the Titans had forgiven her.
Not long after, Calliope arrived back with Pegasus. Alecto had told her of what had happened while she and Sylvia were away to free Atlas.
Calliope embraced her lover and softly spoke. "I'm so proud of you, Alecto." Before they both shared a kiss. After a minute, there was something else that Calliope wanted to know from Aleco. "Baby? Why didn't you tell me that Aphrodite is your sister?"
Alecto stared at her lover in surprise. But then looked down while sighing deeply. "Gaia told you, didn't she?" She asked before getting a nod from her lover. Alecto looked back into Calliope's eyes and admitted. "Yes. Aphrodite... is my sister."
"But... why did you never tell me, or Sylvia?"
Alecto looked away, as she sadly stated. "When me and my other sisters Megaera and Tisiphone were created, Aphrodite was the last to emerge out of the blood and sperm of Uranus. But unlike me and my other two sisters, Aphrodite was different. While we, the Furies, were out for revenge on anyone who would break a blood oath with a God, Aphrodite only felt compassion and pity on those who wished to be free and left alone. We were disgusted by her 'weakness' back then, that we... turned our backs to our little sister... while she became more closer with the Olympian Gods." When Alecto stated this, tears formed in her eyes and looked back at Calliope with so much regret of what she'd done. "I wanted to tell her... that I was so sorry for what I and my other sisters had done and said to her after we moved to Olympus! But I... couldn't find the strength to do that, fearing how she would react. So we've... stayed quiet about it and never became close... as I saw how mean she was towards Pandora."
This was making some sense to Calliope, seeing how Alecto and Aphrodite's arguments sometimes went out of control when Aphrodite was mean towards Pandora.
"I really wanted to tell you about this Calliope... but I... I know this isn't an excuse but... I was hoping that... Aphrodite would change her ways one day too... before I told you."
Though Calliope wasn't happy about that Alecto held this from her for so many years, she too had hoped that Aphrodite would treat Pandora better, after they'd become closer after the incident at the Athens Festival caused by their daughter and Pandora.
With some worry, Alecto asked Calliope. "Are you mad at me?"
Calliope shook her head. "No Alecto... I'm not mad at you. I just…" She started before she then stroked Alecto's cheek and told with some seriousness. "I never held anything from you, baby."
Alecto nodded sadly "I know. I promise... I will never keep any secrets from you again. Ever."
Seeing that Alecto wouldn't do that to her or Sylvia again, she gave a passionate kiss to her Fury lover, which Alecto gladly returned. After a minute, Calliope and Alecto slowly broke the kiss, leaving a trail of saliva still connecting them. Now, the Ghost of Sparta looked very determined before Alecto gave a nod as both looked over to the horizon, as the Titans approached Mount Olympus, as In both their minds, Alecto and Calliope were ready to finish this war against Olympus and free the world, so they could finally live their lives in peace and their daughter would have the future she deserved. But both were also hoping that not all the Gods were with Zeus... especially Aphrodite.
The rebellion was not only fought on Olympus. Across all of Greece, angry mobs stormed and destroyed many temples of the Gods, all calling out to Zeus' death and hailing Calliope as their new ruler and savior. But the Goddess of War had no intention to take Zeus's place on the throne of Olympus, she was going to free the world and its inhabitants, for the people didn't deserve to be ruled over by another God or Titan.
Meanwhile on Olympus
Zeus was recovering in his quarters from his wounds from the fight with Calliope. Hecate, the Goddess of Witchcraft, helped the King of the Gods to be healed up. Hera was by her husband's side, while Hercules stood in a corner of the room.
Then, one of Zeus's soldiers rushed inside in panic. "Lord Zeus! The servants of Olympus! They... they have revolted and my men can't control them! They have stormed the barracks and are on their way here!"
Hercules then cracked his knuckles while saying. "Then I say, we'll crush these rebel scum and show them the consequences of standing against Olympus!"
"No, Hercules!" The evil King of the Gods spoke. "I have a better punishment for them in mind." He said as he raised himself from his bed and glanced at Hecate, who nodded as she followed Zeus to the balcony that was close to the living room.
As both Zeus and Hecate were on the balcony, they saw the rebels fighting against Zeus's personal guards. Sophie was leading them as she killed many of the guards. Then she saw Zeus on the balcony, together with Hecate, Hera and Hercules. "There he is! ATTACK!" She yelled out before they all joined her and charged on Zeus's quarters.
The remaining guards of Zeus were able to hold them off for a while as their master spoke. "My servants! How dare you defy my reign!"
The other rebels called out to him, saying angrily. "We know what you have done, Zeus!"
"You tried to kill Calliope!"
"We will not stand for this anymore!"
Zeus was now very angry and yelled. "SILENCE! Let me remind all of you that I am still and always will be the ruler of Olympus! And all who stand against me will be punished-"
"YOU ARE NO RULER!" Sophie yelled to him. "YOU ARE A MONSTER!" Before every rebel charged in on Zeus's personal guards and Sophie cut off another soldier's head.
"Fine. Then I am a monster." Zeus said with pure evil in his heart before nodding to Hecate to do what he had in mind for the rebels.
Hecate spoke out an ancient curse on the rebels before they all started to scream in pain as their bodies began to shake as they were changing... into monsters or undead soldiers!
Sophie watched with horror at what was happening, before she started to feel lots of pain flowing through her body. She looked at Hecate on the balcony and acted fast, taking a spear and throwing it at Hecate, who was distracted on causing the curse on the rebels. The spear pierced right through her heart as Hecate looked in shock as how she'd let her guard down. She then looked at Sophie and scowled as she used her last powers to cast her last curse on the Atlantean warrior!
Sophie was overflown by an incredible agonizing pain before she screamed as her body was starting to change. Her last thoughts were of Sylvia and she screamed out her name. "SYLVIAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaa...!"
Hecate then fell down on the floor as the Goddess of Witchcraft was dead. But Sophie was no longer a human, and was now a Sirene, giving a loud screech as all the rebels were now monsters.
Zeus looked over at the dead body of Hecate and sighed. "What a waist." Before he then looked at his son, Hercules and said. "You'll be in command of these abominations. Use them well."
Hercules nodded. "I will, father."
Zeus then left the balcony and said to Hera. "Gather all the other Gods. If Calliope wants a war, she can have one!"
Fotis was hiding around the corner, but had witnessed what had happened, seeing Sophie and the other rebels turned into mindless monsters. Saddened, he softly said to himself. "I'm so sorry, Sophie."
Meanwhile, Aphrodite too had watched from her home of what had happened. She and her two pleasure women were horrified by what they had seen. Aphrodite never knew how evil Zeus could be as she shook her head in disbelief. "This is not right. This is not right!"
One of her pleasure women asked Aphrodite with worry. "Mistress... what do we do now?"
"I need to talk with Zeus. This has gone too far!" Aphrodite said as she needed to convince Zeus to stop this madness.
As she walked out of her chambers, she mentally stated, praying to her Fury sister Alecto. 'I now understand... sister... what you meant when we spoke for the first time in centuries, when you and Calliope came to Olympus. No one is beyond redemption. Please... be alright... and maybe... when this is over... we can start again?'
But unknown to her, Alecto had somehow heard Aphrodite's thoughts. She smiled while looking up to the top of Mount Olympus. 'Don't worry, Aphrodite. We will.'
By changing the course of history, Calliope, the Ghost of Sparta, at long last had freed Titans from their torment and from Cronos' grasp. Now realizing that Zeus had crossed the line once more, mankind had enough of Zeus' reign and revolted against his tyrannical rule. For years, even though Calliope sat on the throne as the new Goddess of War, she was still haunted by visions of her family, a father who she herself murdered after he'd slayed her mother. Deceived by lies and false promises of the Gods, had sent our heroine into a path for revenge against the King of the Gods. A path that nearly cost her own life and the lives of those that she loves. But the hands of death could not defeat her. The Sisters of Fate could not control her. And now, Calliope and her lover, Alecto will lead us all into battle. The final battle that'll determine the future of the entire world. The Battle for Olympus... has begun.
Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerer of death's construction
In the fields, the bodies burning
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind
Poisoning their brainwashed minds
Oh lord, yeah!
Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor, yeah
Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait till their judgement day comes, yeah!
Now in darkness, world stops turning
Ashes where their bodies burning
No more war pigs have the power
Hand of God has struck the hour
Day of judgement, God is calling
On their knees, the war pigs crawling
Begging mercy for their sins
Satan laughing, spreads his wings
Oh lord, yeah!
There you go, my dear friends, God of War Revenge is complete. Next will be the start of the Battle of Olympus, which will have more surprises and plot twists ahead. Rate and review. See you all next time, my dear friends.
