FINAL BATTLE part V
Luke's POV:
Darkness consumed my vision. Occasionally you would see bright flashes of light in the corner of my vision. The crashing of waves roared in my ear, making me want to clutch my head in pain. I could feel other people in the portal, and I knew who they were of course. Arch and destruction.
Right when I felt I couldn't take anymore of this, the throne room of the gods came crashing in. I came to it on the white marble floor. I looked up and saw a confused destruction and a dazed arch. The gods in the room left into action, all holding there weapons of power up and ready to fire.
No not yet, just a little longer.
Arch jumped forward, tackling a recovering destruction to the ground. The gods in the room raised there weapons of power and pointed them towards the two.
No not yet, just a bit longer.
Determination was written in all of the gods eyes in the throne room. Then without warning, so it seemed, beans of light shot from the weapons of power, Arrows fired, and towers of fire danced in the throne room. Heading towards arch and destruction with lightning speed.
NOW!
I leap forward right before the projectiles of the weapons of power hit arch and Destruction. Smoke trailing behind me, I threw Arch across the room, taking his place as the host. I watched him it a column, then slide down with a dazed look written on his face. The weapons of power hit us. Artemis' sliver arrow sliced through my chest, hades helm chilled my bones down to -500, Poseidon's water just intensified the burning sensation of Zeus' lightning, Hestia's actual fire seemed to just top it all off.
My skin felt like it was burning in acid, dunked in oil, then light on fire, but at the same time that I was burning up, I was freezing cold. I'm not sure if I want to snuggle up in a blanket infont of a fire. Or do lay in a desert.
I was losing my vision, destruction eyes wrote a song of pain. He was experiancing the same thing as me. Although he was slowly fading. A grim look plastered on his face.
I wanted to let go of him so much, but I knew if it did the full affects of the weapons of power would be on me. And I would die. A Bright light starting consuming my vision, only starting on the edges. But it slowing took over what little vision I had.
The last thing I saw. Was an angry arch silently screaming at me. My hearing had been one of the first things to go. My body felt weightless, I felt I could just float where I wanted to go.
Then everything went white.
Yes white. The bright white light had completely taken over my vision. I could no longer sense the throne room, nothing. I was in a blank space. Destruction was still here. We were still had each other's throats, but other then that. The white seemed to go on for eternity.
That's when everything went weird. Grey silhouettes suddenly appeared. They seemed to be fighting a battle. Slowly one by one they grey silhouettes fell. But there was one silhouette that stuck out. Mainly because of its strange color compared to the other. This silhouette was black, and was taking out the grey silhouettes one by one. The grey silhouettes couldn't touch him. Then another Black silhouette appeared. This one wasn't as big, and didn't take down the grey ones as swiftly and fast as the first silloutte. Then the 2nd black silhouette was stabbed, right through the chest. The first silhouette turned around and ran to the 2nd one.
Then the scene changed. The second silhouette was laying on a bed. It didn't seem to be moving though. Suddenly the first silhouette appeared, this time with a much larger black silhouette. The larger silhouette placed his hand one the injured one, enveloping it in a red light. The now Crimson silhouette got up like nothing happened. Time passed, both the red and Crimson silhouette both started fighting many battles. Both trying to impress the larger silhouette. But the larger silhouette always seemed favor the black silhouette. The Crimson one seemed to disappear.
Time continued to pass. Suddenly a navy silhouette appeared. It appeared to be a women. She joined the battle field with the Crimson and black silhouettes. The three silhouettes continued to win battles together. And slowly, it was obvious that the Crimson one was falling for the navy one. But much like the first larger black silhouette, the navy one ignored the Crimson one. Instead the navy one fell for the black one. Favoring him just like the first black silhouette did had well. More time passed and a marriage scene appeared. On the alter where was the black silhouette and the navy silhouette. The crowd was filled with grey silhouettes, and the Crimson one. Watching from the shadows.
Once the black one and the navy one kissed, everyone except Crimson one disappeared. Rage was visible on the Crimson silhouette, the Crimson silhouette faded, only leaving a dark mass of light. Then disappearing. Only to reappear, destroying a lonely village. He murdered all of the grey silhouettes, leaving no one. The Black and navy silhouette appeared, they looked like they were arguing with the Black light.
That's when I heard something for the first time since I got here. The black mass, shock with either anger, or amusement. Then insanely yelled.
"Why brother... The DESTRUCTION has just began." In a voice I knew all too well. And he was standing right in front of me.
Then if hit me. I had just witnessed destructions past. How he bacame the way he was now. And I would bet 1 million drachmas that the black and navy silhouettes were Order and Chaos.
And if I had to guess, from the look of confusion in destructions eyes, he saw my past. And I could figure out who's was worst.
Looks like we have two idiots with messed up pasts. Everything faded away. But this time, everything went black...
Arch's POV:
I was thrown back, my back slammed into a marble pillar. I slid down painfully. All I could think was the plan failed. We lost. It was over. I waited for the throne room to be ripped to spreads. Everyone in it dead. But nothing happened. Just a bright white light filled the throne room. I looked up hesitantly, only to find the one thing, I didn't want to see. Luke was in my place. Blood ran down out form his mouth. His eyes were unfocused, but filled with pain, nothing but pain. I shot up and tried to run towards him. But I was held back by the right white light.
So I did the only logical thing. I yelled at him.
"LUKE YOU IDIOT! This wasn't suppose to happen! Are you insane! Luke! LUKE!" I screamed. I vented out my anger, only leaving worry. We were slowly losing sight of him. The bright light engulfing him. But before the light completely took over, he glanced at me. I continued to yell at him, this wasn't suppose to happen. No one but me was suppose to get hurt.
But all he did was smile. A closed eye smile. A simple, but sad smile. Then I got it. He had been planning this since the beginning. He didn't want me to get hurt, he didn't want me to take the place as host
That's when we lost sight of him.
"LUKE!" I cried out. But just as quickly as the light engulfed the throne room, it disappeared. Just gone. No Explanation. No fading light, not sizzling pop, nothing. It just disappeared. And the only one standing in the throne rooms center, was Luke. Although he looked like he would fall at any moment.
So he chose the moment to start falling back. I rushed forward and caught him before he hit the ground. His skin was pale, his face was contorted with pain. I checked his pulse.
Thud, thud, thud, thud, thud
He's okay. I let out s breath of relief. The gods in the room all rushed forward in shock (okay only Artemis and Hestia, but...).
"Shall I call Apollo?" Hestia asked me. I was about to nod my head when movement caught my eye. Luke opened his eyes.
But instead of his normal baby blue eyes, I was meet with a Crimson iris. I jumped back in shock, reaching for my katana, when I removed it wasn't here. But the his iris slowly faded, leaving behind his old blue iris'. I rushed back forward.
"Luke! You in there?" I asked Luke... Or possibly destruction.
"Right here arch..." Luke slurred. His eyes were droopy, and unfocused. I know I shouldn't but I couldn't help myself.
"Are you okay." I asked him.
"Everything is chill arch. Dang tired, but I just got a crazy God sealed inside of me, so hey. What do you expect." He slurred again.
"Good because..." I stopped mid sentence, and did something I really needed (wanted) to do. I did the only thing a logical man would do. I slapped him. Luke eyes widen and her held his check.
"Owwww!" He pouted. And looked at me with annoyance in this eyes. I shrugged my shoulders to tell him, to bad. "Wake me up later..." He mumbled and slumped forward. I caught him and laid him down. I looked at the goddess infront of me.
"Please take care of him while I'm gone, we will sort this all out later." I quickly said then stood up."
"Where are you going?" Hestia asked.
"Well we still have a battle to win. Our friends at camp Half Blood aren't done yet." I told her then shadow traveled back to the battle field. The field was in chaos. The once organized monsters where now being hacked to pieces, or they were doing the hacking themselves. Because I didn't have a sword I flew up above the field. Once I was at a safe distance I mind messaged the other warriors.
{{Get all the campers of the field. I'm calling Chaos.}} I said. Because destruction was no longer here to interrupt Chaos, we could get rid of the rest of these monsters.
{{Arch!}} Bianca cried in the MM. {{What about the sealing? You said you would be exhausted afterwards...}}
{{there were some complications, don't worry, destruction is sealed. I'll explain later.}} I told her. This seems to satisfy everyone because I saw all the other warriors fly up. They were calling a "retreat" or what all of the camper knew as: get off the field or you're going to die. Some stuff about to go down.
I sent Chaos a message that pretty much said we were ready for him. A black portal opened next to me, and Chaos stepped out. He looked at me with knowing eyes. We both quickly searched the area for remaining campers. No one, not even the injured remain on the field surprisingly. Monsters were already celebrating their "victory". Me and Chaos internally chuckled. We raised both of our hands(well me just one) above the field. Concentration was key to pull this off.
I focused my shadow fire on the palm of my hand. It appeared, but slowly disappeared as it mixed with Chaos' black energy. The shadow energy, as we call it, weaved its way above the field, unnoticed by monsters. When the entire area the monsters were in was covered in shadow energy. We released the energy was had been containing, letting it go wild.
Lightning shock the ground. The black sky danced with black lights. The lightning found its way into the monsters below it's souls. Destroying them from the inside out. Incinerating there being. The Shadow energy faded away until there was nothing else. Only the remains for the previous battle.
I smiled to myself, even when I felt myself losing consciousness. I started falling. Falling fast too. But I felt myself get caught. Held in strong arms. We descended to the ground, and I wish I could tell you how it ended. But my vision went black before we made it too the ground...
