Ch c22: Sea to the Rescue
"Now lets begin." Demi'se laughed looking over the beaten Percy and demolished Jason. "wow I really did expect better from the son of Jupiter!"
"Damn you..." Jason panted rising to his feet only to fall as a massive explosion rocked the frozen earth. "What the-"
"Silence!" Demi'se surged forward knocking Percy aside with the Blade of Mars and let loose a jarring kick to Jason's skull. Knocking him back a few feet. "Better now Percy Jackson watch as the tower of Suns Death rises!"
"Oh now thats cheap!" Percy growled as the massive Stygian and bone tower rose.
"Perhaps a closer look is needed?" Demi'se chuckled as his body ignited.
"No! Really man... I think this is okay!" Percy said backing away from the flaming son of Hyperion.
"None sense ocean spawn!" Demi'se laughed snapping his fingers. Percy let out a yell as his body exploded into flames. The two exploded into existence on the top of the massive tower. "Behold!"
Percy spun around cursing in Greek as the sun began to be eclipsed.
"Let me guess power up?" Percy sighed readying himself for what was to come.
"Oh you have no idea!" Demi'se laughed tossing aside his Ancient Silver sword rising the Blade of Mars. The blade was consumed in flames and lightning. "Perhaps you should know what fuels my hatred for you Sea spawn..."
"Story time then?" Percy said his voice cautious.
"More or less..." Demi'se sighed. "Poseidon killed my mother! Before my very eyes! No three-year-old should see that! She felt no vain to the gods... Yet your father killed her! He took something dear from me... Now I will take his most cherished son from him! Aaaagggghhhh!"
Percy met Demi'se's blade both had eyes of vengeance. "This isn't the way to do it!"
"Shut up!" Demi'se roared tossing Percy aside with the Blade of Mars. "You know nothing! And never will!"
"In the name of my father I will-" Percy was cut off by a vicious assault of blade strikes.
"The time to repent has long since passed!" Demi'se snarled spinning around with a jarring kick to the demigods wrist knocking his blade free. "The time for blood is now!"
Demi'se surged forward knocking Percy to Stygian roof of the massive tower. The demigod had no sense of fear to him enraging Demi'se who stomped down hard on his rib cage.
"AAAGGGHHH!" Percy yelled as his ribs broke.
"Still no fear!" Demi'se spat kicking Percy hard in the side. "fine still YOU will DIE!"
Demi'se brought the blade of Mars down in a wicked arc. The son of Hyperion leaped backwards as a triton lashed out at the boy.
"d... Dad?" Percy sputtered at a man standing between he and Demi'se. He wore a simple Hawaiian T-shirt and bermuda shorts the god had leathery skin and dark hair with smile marks that were masked by a houndish glare. The god raised his hand to silence his son.
"Enough..." the god said readying his triton. "it seems this boy has much to learn of godly power... And pride."
"Please I took on both Mars and Artemis!" Demi'se growled which was cut off by the gods massive laugh.
"That you did boy!" the god laughed enraging Demi'se. "One as yourself should know that Mars alone is Meat bag. Though with Artemis at his back the two might as well dig there own graves."
"STOP MOCKING ME!" Demi'se roared charging the god who sighed as he tossed the son of Hyperion aside with a jarring blow from his triton. "dammit!"
"Surprised? Hmm... You shouldn't." Poseidon sighed readying his triton.
"why's that?" Demi'se spat.
"Because if it weren't I to beat you into submission it would be one of your own Titan spawn!" Poseidon roared his triton glowing green with wicked energy. "Now taste defeat!"
"NOOOOO!" Demi'se cursed as a ripping torrent of water flooded from Poseidon's triton tearing the air from Demi'se's lungs and dragging him down the small opening of the one hundred story tower. Each step beat into the demititans ribs back or limbs. The son of Hyperion cursed as his lungs flooded he roared fighting hard against the endless rush of water the gods words burning into his mind.
'If it weren't I to beat you... It would be one of your own'
That message meant far too much to let pain erase it as Demi'se was beaten down the final flights of stairs. His body racked with pain from his one hundred-flight fall which the god's water had seemed to maximize. Only one thing hurt more than defeat... Demi'se knew it to be betrayal.
