Author's Note: To battle! Let's see how the crew goes up against the biggest baddy of Greek myths! Also, I try to answer all reviews from the previous chapter before I go and update the second part of this later tonight. Hope everyone enjoys and finds the fight satisfying!

Disclaimer: I only own the plot.


"Hard to believe it's finally time."

Percy glanced to Jason beside him as the pair walked across the fields of Tartarus, headed to the Arena of the Pit and towards their hardest challenge yet. It had been several hours since Nyx came to him with the news of their impending fight and he was honestly feeling nervous. Typhon, Titan of Storms and Monsters and the last but strongest child of Gaea solely. Also mentally incomplete and therefore a completely loyal pawn given to Kronos even though Typhon easily outclassed any other immortal save for the protogenoi. It was only thanks to the council of protogenoi having been dissolved long before and Typhon never being given a primordial domain that kept him limited to the class of a Titan but his sheer size gave it away, being on par with the true size of a primordial.

Now they were about to face him and they weren't full protogenoi either. Percy knew this would be the make or break and that none of the primordial gods would step in to save them this time. He couldn't help but open and close his hands in anticipation for this fight but also concern for his family getting ready to fight. Jason looked nervous as well but he didn't have any obvious nervous tick like Percy showing. The too near-primordial beings looked at each other in a monetary pause, the screams of the truly damned and tortured echoing around them.

"Are you ready?" Percy asked in a calmer voice than he was feeling.

Jason gave him a stern look before flashing a faint smile while offering his hand. Percy smiled as they locked hands tightly while nodding.

"Brothers till the end," Jason said before both let go and faced the arena again.

Percy took a breath before saying, "Let's go … no time to waste."

With that the pair started moving faster, arriving to the arena in a few minutes and they soon stood within the actual battle floor. Percy glanced around to see his family already waiting and each being dressed for full combat as they looked at them. While Nico couldn't yet fight at this level since he still hadn't claimed the right to be an heir, he'd been adamant in helping with the battle even though Percy tried to convince him otherwise. Phoebe and Styx weren't fighting though, considering they weren't going to be on the front lines in this war even if they could fight if necessary. The others stood at the ready with the armor and weapons displayed.

Rhea was dressed in a dark green, nearly black chiton that cut off at mid-thigh with slits for movement, a bright green sash around her slim waist, and dark green tights underneath. Next was a black leather jacket reaching down to her thighs as well that Percy made for her out of darkness fibers with a tensile strength of steel for easy movement yet added protection. On her arms over the coat sleeves were her manifestations of power, her emerald gauntlets made of perfectly cut emerald tinted with gold within the precious rock. Her legs were covered by knee high boots made from the same solid darkness as her coat only with added emerald shin guards and a slight heel. Her hair was pulled back into a high ponytail with a green ribbon and her hazel-gold eyes were focused intensely as she held her bow staff, Testament, at her side. To Percy she looked more like a beautiful goddess of war ready to lay waste to those who dare oppose her.

Next to Rhea was Andromeda dressed her usual red long sleeve shirt, corset, plaid skirt, thigh-high leather boots with Tartarean steel heels and toes, Tartarean steel bracers with her manifested glove on her left hand and her knives currently in bow form, Absolution, in her hands, and lastly her coat similar to Rhea. Percy could see the apprehension in Andy's purple and blue eyes as she glanced at him but he sent her a reassuring smile.

Beside Andromeda was Thalia, dressed in grey and white chiton given to her by Hemera with solid light bracers and small breast plate, her legs covered in her condensed wind boots while small tendrils of electricity crackled off them. In her hands was her own personally forged bow, Genesis, made of mixed Tartarean steel with solid light and a solid lightning string. Her longer hair was braided and reaching to her lower back as her intense, deep blue eyes with tendrils of grey-blue electricity coursing through them focused like the huntress she still is.

Nico stood next to Thalia, dressed in a special black bicker jacket decorated with red streaks soaked in the Styx river and padded with Tartarean steel along with his usual skull shirt and leather pants, lastly with Tartarean Steel bracers and shin guards while ending in his own leather boots. His own claymore modeled after Tartarus' but cooled in the river Styx while being smelted in Hellfire was leaner, with a smoother tapper. The blades name was Damnation and true to its word, being cut by that sword was as painful as burning in Hellfire. Percy would know, Tartarus tested it on him to see his pain tolerance before removing the fires and healing the scars himself.

Lastly were Percy and Jason themselves looking near identical with their coat of darkness/light, matching shirts, black leather or grey pants, and their preferred boots with Percy being darkness leather while Jason still liked the cowboy ones only re-enforced with drakon hide leather. Neither liked wearing armor much though aside from their manifestations of power which were close to near perfect armors themselves. The only drawback is that the manifestations of power are just that, condensed power. Percy's coat, just like everyone else's manifestations, were only indestructible as long as power was supplied, otherwise under constant pressure they would break at some point and leave them exposed though they also self repaired as the primordial in question recovered as well.

Still, with his coat and his blades, Purgatory and Sin, his katana and Viking Ulfberht respectively, strapped to his hips on opposing sides while Jason had his long sword, Revelation, strapped to his back. They were as ready as they could get to face the monster that had never truly been brought down. Twice Typhon had been bested but only to the point of being unable to fight back, having a mountain hurled on him through the combined efforts of the elder Olympians and later dragged to the Underworld thanks to Poseidon and Hades along with the Cyclops army weighing the titan down. This time though, it would be Typhon's death, no half measures or imprisonment. With one last glance at his assembled team Percy looked to Tartarus and gave him a curt nod. The primordial nodded back before raising his arm and with it, the entire arena started to shake.

Their gathered allies hunkered down as the group stared at the far end of the arena. Tartarus had expanded it to fit half of New York City and they could clearly see a massive fissure opening up on the other end. They watched as red hues of flames spewed out along with the clinking of massive celestial bronze chains filled their ears while the ground around them continued to shake. They could feel the power surging out of the growing chasm as the sole occupant stirred from his forced slumber. Then, suddenly the sound of chains moving stopped and as did all the noise, even the pained screams of the damned in the distance. 'That can't be good,' Percy thought before all Void broke loose.

"RAAAAAAWWWWRRRRR!"

A massive bellow blasted across the arena with gale force winds buffeting at them as the ground shook even more but the team stood firm. Then, one massive clawed hand came out of the chasm, being big enough to crush a god even in their divine form, reach out and crashed onto the arena floor with a deafening boom. Soon another hand follow as Typhon hauled himself out of the hole Tartarus had kept him in since the monster was brought down over a decade ago by surface world time. Then, the monstrous head of the titan, still surrounded in storm clouds even though they could see his face through it as it morphed between innumerable beastly forms, each more horrid than the last with glowing red eye lacking irises or pupils.

His foul scent assaulted their noses as he pulled himself further from the chasm, the celestial bronze chains that once held him falling off in clumps with heavy crashes. Soon a shadow over took them as Typhon's charred and scared body towered over them, his dark brown and green splotched skin looking like boiling tar as the titan measuring nearly 120 meters(400 ft) stood up fully. Percy wouldn't hide it, he felt intimidated at the sheer presence of the monster and what it could do. He thanked Chaos that Typhon never finished fully forming proper mental functions otherwise the Titans and Olympians alike would have been utterly decimated and he would reign above all while his mother slept to her content.

Typhon gave another challenging bellow as Percy and his friends readied their weapons as they prepared to fight the closest thing they could get to a primordial. Percy took one glance around before nodding, having already planned the strategies with his team to take the massive titan down. Percy took a breath as his stance relaxed for but a moment. This was it, the true hurtle before the war. Everything has been leading up to this and he wasn't about to fail now.

"Go!" he shouted as they all surged forward in bursts of speed, weapons poised and ready for the kill.

Percy raced beside Jason as the pair locked onto their target, Typhon's chest. The pair ran as blurs before both hunched down and jumped, the ground beneath them cratering as they blasted up like cannonballs towards Typhon. As they ascended Percy brought Sin forward, the Viking blade's tip sinking into the titan's flesh and mincing through the thick muscle underneath as Percy's rise slowed. Typhon roared in anger more than anything as it brought a hand up to swat him like a fly but then Jason, having reached the highest point of his jump leveling him with Typhon's sternum brought out Revelation and drove the blade into Typhon's chest, sinking it half way to the hilt and keeping him hitched to the Titan.

Now Typhon's roar had pain to it but it wasn't enough, not nearly enough. Their symbols of power may be sharp enough to cut the titan's flesh with ease but with their size they couldn't reach into the denser muscles where real damage could be struck. Percy, noting that he'd slowed down too much to get higher stabbed both Purgatory and Sin into Typhon's ribs to hook himself to the Titan. With his foothold secured he watched as Typhon tried to bring his massive clawed down on Jason but as the hand came closer suddenly a bolt of lightning hit it with enough force to make Typhon abruptly twist to the side.

Percy glanced down to see that Rhea had leveled the arena floor to create several spires and columns of rock for different vantage points, some going as high as Typhon's thighs. Thalia stood on one with her bow, Genesis, trained on Typhon, another arrow of pure lightning already formed and notched. Soon another arrow made of purple energy struck Typhon in the neck followed by a burst of ichor as the arrow pieced his protective hide but not deep enough to inflict lasting damage. It had been Andromeda with her knives in bow form, Absolution, her arrows having larger piercing power while Thalia being more of a large bomb on impact. Together the pair fired off arrow after arrow, being careful to not hit Percy or Jason as the pair scaled Typhon's body, Jason being closer to the goal than Percy at the moment.

Seeing as he was farther than he wanted he glanced around while watching as Typhon brought his hand down and nearly hit Jason but the bugger managed to toss himself to the side and drop a good two stories before stabbing his sword in again to stop from falling to the floor. Percy noticed that Typhon's hand was pretty close so thinking quickly he tugged Purgatory out of the titan's flesh and sheathed it before focusing on his hand.

Frost and darkness radiated off his right hand before his Void crystal started to form in the design of a hook and soon it lengthened to form a chain. He then spun it to gain some momentum before he whipped it around, sending the hook at Typhon's retreating hand but the hook managed to grasp the flesh in a firm holding. With that Percy pulled Sin out and kicked off Typhon's ribs, using his impulse to swing under the hand and then kick with his legs to complete a full rotation. He then willed the chain to disperse and fell onto Typhon's moving hand. It seemed that he caught the titan's attention with that as the monster turned its gaze on him.

That proved to be a mistake as a pillar of rock measuring nearly three stories was literally thrown at the titan, hitting him square on the chest and making him stumble back as Percy hunkered down to get a good grip. He glanced down to the arena floor to see the one tossing the stones was Rhea, using the pillars around her as ammunition. Once Typhon stabilized Percy started running up the titan's arm with both blades out. He coated them in his Voidfire as he sliced the hide under him while running, the black flames hungrily eating at hide and flesh exposed along the cuts as ichor flowed by the gallons and Typhon roared in rage and pain. Percy smirked, knowing that his flames were just as painful as the Hellfire of Tartarus and Typhon was now feeling pain like he never had before. The heat of being under Mount Etna and later St. Helens was nothing compared to this and the best part was that the titan's rapid healing wouldn't work on wounds from either of the divine fires.

Percy soon arrived near Typhon's head as Thalia and Andromeda peppered his chest with their arrows while Rhea focused more of her pillars onto Typhon's gut to keep his focus on them. Percy raced forward, his swords poised at his sides to slice at Typhon's head. He jumped, swords high, but the buffeting winds surrounding the monster's head took most of his momentum and forced him to squint. He made a wild swing just before the winds could push him away, his swords seeming to cut at Typhon's cheek close to his eye making him screech in pain. Percy winced at the sound but in doing so he failed to notice Typhon's hand grasp at him.

He didn't have time to react to the titan's suddenly fast grab and grunted as the monstrous strength tried to crush him. He could feel his ribs straining even as he flexed his arms to try and keep some space for himself to save his chest from being crushed in the hand of Typhon. He was strong but this thing was only strength and no one besides another full primordial could outmuscle the titan. However, his team came to his rescue as Typhon abruptly released his grip making Percy fall. As he fell he glanced up to see the wrist of Typhon's right hand had been sliced open with a torrent of ichor flowing out. He then glanced to his side to see Jason falling not far from him, his sword stained golden as the former roman shot him a grin.

Percy returned a thankful nod as he corrected himself in the air but they really didn't have anything to stop their fall unless Thalia willed the winds to catch them. Unlikely considering she and Andromeda were currently shooting at Typhon while hopping around to avoid being crushed underfoot. 'This is gonna sting' Percy thought as the arena floor rapidly approached them. He came down at terminal velocity, landing on a pillar only for the damn thing to give way under him, splitting down the center until he landed at the actual arena floor with a resounding crash, Jason not too far behind him. Percy groaned as his legs and back stung from the landing but he shook it off and the dust on him while looking around. Jason was up as well with Revelation in arm as he scoped out a vulnerable spot to attack. Percy glanced up to smirk in satisfaction as Typhon's right arm and a piece of his face was burning with Voidfire, taking half of the titan's eyesight and slowing down the use of his right arm tremendously along with the useless hand that Jason nearly lopped off.

"No luck getting to his head huh," Jason stated as he moved closer to him.

"Not really, the wind is too much," Percy replied before narrowing his eyes at Typhon's chest. "I don't think we can get too close to his neck to slit his throat either but …" he trailed off as he thought of an idea.

"What's on your mind Percy?" Jason asked knowing Percy's face when he thinks up something possibly reckless but usually useful.

"Well, we can't get to his head or neck and Andromeda's arrows don't have enough power to fully pierce his chest and get to his heart. Our swords could but with his height we just can't keep enough momentum to swing at full strength and carve his chest open but if we did enough damage to open it up Thalia could possibly create a bolt strong enough to get to his heart."

"She'd need to hold off and focus for that but then what's keeping Typhon's attention off her?" Jason asked as both suddenly jumped to the side and onto another pillar as Typhon's foot nearly squashed them. "He would noticed the buildup of power and attack her."

"Then we need to keep his attention," Percy said with a smirk. "Go let Thals and Andy know. Tell Andy to focus on Typhon's face while I let Rhea and Nico know."

"Where is he by the way?" Jason asked but both stopped and looked to see Typhon stumble slightly and for the first time noticed that his right calf was on Hellfire with multiple lacerations going up to mid-calf with a black and red blur running around the titan's foot.

"Found him," Percy said with a point before grinning. "Let's join the party!"

Both nodded before surging forward again, Percy making a straight jump to Rhea as she hefted a locomotive size boulder and tossed it like a soft ball, the stone missile slamming into Typhon's head regardless of the wind making him roar as more ichor spilled from a cut over his only usable eye since the other is long gone thanks to Percy's Voidfire.

"Nice toss love," Percy greeted as he landed beside the former Titaness.

Rhea huffed a bit while rolling her shoulder while glancing at him. "Bastard just doesn't want to go down though."

"And that's why I was coming to tell you the plan," Percy said. "If you and Nico can bring Typhon to a halt long enough, I can make some damage on his chest and give an opening for Thalia to throw in the bigger fireworks."

Rhea looked at him questioningly for a moment before she glanced at the titan and narrowed her eyes.

"I think I might have just the thing," she said with a small smirk. "Just wait for the opening but it could be nice if you distract him for me."

"Will do," Percy agreed before rushing off to join Nico.

He arrived quickly while glancing up to see purple arrows constantly striking Typhon around the collarbone, neck, and face making him roar in frustration while trying to cover his face with his good hand, his right side being more of a hindrance as the Voidfire ate into more of his flesh, freezing it before it broke off in clumps of molten flesh and globs of sloshy ichor. It was still only skin level damage at best and was only starting to get to Typhon's muscle. He disregarded it for now and arrived at Nico's side, the blessed of Tartarus leaping across Typhon's calf as Damnation sliced across the flesh while igniting it in purple Hellfire adding further damage to the titan's leg.

"Yo Nico!" he shouted as he stood a few meters away while keeping an eye on the titan's arm swinging over them as the monster tried to cover his face from Andy's onslaught.

"What!?" Nico shouted as he swiped some sweat off his face. "I'm busy at the moment!"

"I can see that!" Percy replied as he jumped high and drove both his swords into Typhon's knee earning a very loud roar of pain as his Voidfire spread from the blades.

Percy disengaged quickly and landed close to Nico but both them leaped again and moved away as Typhon's hand nearly smashed them while the titan looked for what cause him so much pain on just one leg.

"Hey, if my flames eat away enough, you think you can cut through his knee?" Percy asked as Nico huffed beside him.

"Sure, I just need a higher vantage point since I can't jump as high as all of you guys since my physical ability is still just underneath godly level," he replied.

"Alright then, just wait for Rhea's part and you should have an opportunity," he answered getting a nod from Percy before the heir of Nyx jumped away to the front of Typhon. He could see Jason was on the titan's shoulder again but was trying to avoid being caught like Percy had before.

He pulled to a stop and glared up at the monster before flaring the flames on his blades. He then slashed at the air in front of him, blades of Voidfire shooting off his swords at the monstrous titan and impacting him on the chest making him stumble slightly as the fires spread on his skin slowly. Percy clicked his teeth, having hoped that the blades of fire would manage to cut the skin as well to really get into his flesh but apparently not. He was about to send another volley but then felt a spike in power and looked to see Rhea jumping onto a pillar of rock with her bow staff glowing green as it thrummed with power.

It drew Typhon's attention when Percy saw Nico lunge from a rock outcropping near Typhon's burning foot, his blade roaring with Hellfire. With a mighty heave Nico cleaved across the back of Typhon's burning knee, the cut combining with the damage from Percy earlier attack nearly causing the entire bottom half of the leg to rip off. Typhon roared in agony and surprise, lifting the injured leg in reflex but it was that moment that Rhea attacked. Blasting off the ground she roared as she swung Testament with all her immense strength, an explosion of pure power following as the end made contact with Typhon's left knee.

A sickening crack followed as Typhon's kneecap was blown off in a shower of ichor and bone making Percy smirk as he focused more of his power into his swords while watching the titan fall. With all the pressure on one completely shattered knee, Typhon roared as it buckled and he fell to his knees kicking up a massive dust cloud but Percy remained still. He watched as the dust and ash dissipated as Typhon sat up while in obvious pain and looked directly at Percy with his one good eye. Percy smirked before muttering, "Let's see you take this."

The flames coating his swords condensed before he brought both up and then with a roar, swung them down together with as much power as he could. His swing released a massive blade of black fire joined from the two swords, slicing through the rock and air around it as it sped towards the titan faster than a missile. Typhon could only watch as the massive blade of Voidfire spanning nearly 20 meters impacted his chest hard enough to push his immense body back with an explosion of pressure and flames as the blast minced through his thick hide. Typhon bellowed in sheer agony as the flames ate deep into the muscle and bone of his chest as a waterfall of ichor formed from an attack making Zeus' master bolt look like a firecracker.

Then, just as he was trying to cover the largest wound he'd ever received, Percy spotted Jason jump straight up from Typhon's shoulder with his blade raised high as it crackled with white lightning. Percy watched as Jason fell back down and swung his blade, slicing past the thick hide and muscle along the titan's shoulder nearly severing the arm completely but still doing enough damaged to make it useless. Then a larger than average purple arrow, nearly double the size of a ballista bolt, struck Typhon's other shoulder where Percy's fires had eaten away at the flesh, piercing clean through muscle and bone alike while cutting off the vital tendons of the arm.

"Nice shot Andy," Percy muttered as he took in the sight of the downed titan. Armless, crippled legs, and a wound basically leaving his inner chest cavity exposed to all.

Percy then looked behind him to the highest of the pillars left by Rhea, Thalia standing there with a massive bolt of crackling lightning and churning winds forming a drill point aimed straight at Typhon. It seemed that Thalia felt his gaze as she glanced at him. He nodded sternly at her and she nodded back before locking her gaze on the nearly dead titan. With one final breath she pulled back her bolt the last stretch of her bow and released. The bolt sounded light a hundred thunder cracks within a hurricane as the bolt flew towards Typhon. The monster could only look on, not even uttering a sound as the bolt struck him dead in the chest right over the heart.

What followed was an explosion that felt akin to an atom bomb as Percy was forced to turn his gaze away to cover his face from the vicious winds and shockwaves, the air thrumming with electric charge making him feel almost numb along with a blinding flash. The roar of the explosion lasted for nearly ten seconds before everything finally died down as Percy looked again to a sight no Olympian or Titan had ever thought possible.

Typhon wasn't a single body anymore. His head and hips were what remained as his entire chest had been all but vaporized with the combined might of Percy's flames and Thalia's bolt, his right leg mostly ash thanks to the still burning Hellfire. Percy remained silent as he memorized the sight, their first true battle of this impending war and a victory thought impossible by most. The others soon gathered round, all looking on soberly as the gravity of what they've just accomplished settled on them. As they watched Typhon's body slowly starting to decade to golden dust Thalia thrust her hand out. In response a blueish aura drifted off the growing piles of golden sand and drifting into Thalia's hand. As she absorbed it the sands started to turn white, marking the fading of an immortal.

The Law of Succession needed only be used to strip immortality and domains not related to those held by the victor if they had them by chance. Thalia was already the heir of Sky and Storms, Typhon's only domain that he was given when Gaea stole part of it from Ouranus when Kronos cut him up, it was his only tie to retaining his form. Thalia forcefully reclaiming his domain of Storm and having so much of his essence destroyed by Percy's Voidfire and Nico's Hellfire, there was nothing left for the monster of a titan but to fade.

With the last of the blue aura collected Thalia's power grew while all of the golden dust left from Typhon turned ashen white. It was done now. The greatest monster of Greek mythology was permanently erased and sent to the Realm of the Faded to be judged by Lady Chaos herself. With a tensed exhale the group let their postures relax before some broke into massive grins, namely Percy himself, Jason, and Nico.

"We fucking did it!" Jason shouted while raising his hands in triumph while Nico just whooped in agreement.

"Hell yeah!" Percy agreed while pumping his fist making Rhea giggle beside him and drawing his attention. "And where would we be without you knocking him down a peg or three?" Percy added before sweeping Rhea in his arms and claiming her lips much to her surprise.

In didn't last long before she eagerly returned the kiss, escalating it into a full blown make-out as her hands dug into his hair as he pulled her closer. He was so enraptured with her taste and soft whimpers as he bit at her lips that he nearly missed the throat being cleared … loudly. They both snapped out of the steamy embrace with flushed faces and heavy breaths to see their audience including those that had watched the fight from a safe distance. Rhea blushed a little more while Percy sheepishly chuckled much to the amusement of some though Hades looked a bit uncomfortable having seen his mother make-out with his one-upon-a-time nephew. Hestia was also blushing like crazy but there was a curious glint to her eyes making Percy wink at her only for her to blush more and look away shyly.

"Well …" Nyx started while looking around as everyone settled down. "… That was exceptional."

"Exceptional!?" Persephone asked incredulously as she clung to Hades' arm. "That was utter madness is what it was!"

"I think they did well enough," Tartarus added his two cents.

"Badass!" Medusa exclaimed with glee next to a nodding Lamia.

"Damn, my little bro and sis one upped me there. Now I need to do something big or I'll get left behind," Hercules chuckled as he clapped Thalia on the shoulder.

"That was very exciting," Hemera added though she grimaced slightly. "A bit more gore then I needed but at least the brute is gone for good."

"Very true," Aether agreed but with a more sober tone. "… And soon … so shall we …"

Everyone grew silent at that. Percy locked eyes with Nyx and saw that sadness again, knowing that she would miss them just as much as they would them. In the time together everyone, not only the protogenoi and their heirs, had grown closer as a family. Their pasts put to rest in the effort to live and strive for the future … but sadly they could not all be together to see it through. With that though Percy let go of Rhea before slowly walking to Nyx, all eyes on him as he kept a calm face.

He stopped before her and looked down at her due to the difference in height. Wordlessly he brought her into a hug, her face partially buried into his chest as he rested his cheek against her raven locks. She soon returned the embrace and squeezed onto him as her frame shook slightly while she sniffed. He tightened his hold as she softly started to sob and he felt his own eyes sting and his throat beginning to hurt as he spoke softly.

"I guess it's finally time huh … mom."

Nyx only nodded as she sobbed harder before speaking in a muffled voice.

"It really is … son …"


Well? I hope everyone was satisfied with the fight. I'll see you all later tonight with the second part full of feels! A pleasure, Jbubu
