The End War Pt1
Disclaimer: I don't own PJO
Lio POV
When mom asked me to come with her to the Hunt's camp I was surprised at first, but she explained that she wanted me to be the first one to see the camp. I was really excited about seeing where Aunt Diana spends most of her time when she was not with uncle Moros. When mom flashed the both of us to the camp I was expecting the girls to be jovial, but that's not what we saw.
Lady Nyx and Lord Erebos were in engaged in combat if want to call it that. Their opponents were struggling to match their power. That's when I saw Mom's smile wash away when she saw the three unfamiliar people and also the fact that one of them was wrapped in tendrils of darkness. "What is going on here?" she asked the two Primordials curiously.
Nyx and Erebos saw Mom and bowed. "Your Excellency, these scum were attacking the hunters, but one of them ran off and I offered the girl with the platinum hair a chance to flee" Nyx said to mom who nodded.
"Ah Irene Insigne, you should listen to the advice of Lady Nyx, our world is not meant for you, but I shall not force you to accept our offer. Go to your brother Ryan and create a life for yourself. Helix will only taint you and use you to further is agenda. A life full of hate will lead only to a dark path and it will make you do the unforgivable. Your friends Death…Alfred and Pestilence…Yvonne passed that line long before they were offered to serve Helix. For them oblivion is all I can offer." mom said walking towards Irene who backed up from her. "I wont hurt you, if I did you would already be in Hades' Domain. Nyx, Erebos, you may kill the other two."
Erebos and Nyx both flicked their wrist snapping the two riders' necks, killing them instantly. Mom touched girl who apparently called Irene on her forehead and chanted in some ancient language I didn't get chance to learn yet.
I looked at my mother and I realised for the first time just how dangerous she could be and how she was not blood thirsty. "Mom, is…" I asked afraid as she saw the girl dropping to the ground.
"She is fine, I just needed to undo the power of a great evil from her." My mother answered as she snapped her fingers transporting everyone of us to Olysia along with the girl Irene and her so called brother who had retreated into the darkness of the night.
APOLLO'S POV
I was sitting on my throne with my sister, her new born and husband waiting for my wife and son to return, that's when a bright flash of light flooded the room for a few seconds. In the middle of the room was Nyx, Erebos, Lio, The hunters who looked upset, Percy who wore a frown and two unconscious empowered mortals. Nyx, Erebos and Percy rose to their council height and sat down on their thrones. Lio huffed at not having a throne. "Worry not my son. In time you will have a throne, but for now train harder than you have. Be an example to your sibling should follow. Now who are those two mortals?" I asked pointing at the two.
Nyx looked at us grimly. "It would be best if we call the council first." She said. "Ananke's counsel will be needed I believe for this situation."
"Very well." I said I shot a blast of energy at each of the thrones of those not present. "I summon you all to council."
In mere seconds every councilman and woman was seated on their thrones. Percy snapped her fingers and a temporary throne was created for Lio to sit on and he gladly rose to his council height and sat upon the throne. Ananke looked at the two mortals and frowned deeply before she looked at Elpis to restore them and fill them with the light of hope. "Why have you called us to council my king?" Ananke asked me and I pointed at Nyx and Erebos. Ananke frowned even more. "Care to explain Nyx, my dear sister?"
Nyx also frowned, but nodded anyway. "Yes, it will be my pleasure to explain the reason for council." She said looking at the Hunters with sympathy. "When My husband and I went to the camp of the Hunters we wanted to simply share with them the joyous news of a new born, but what we found was the campsite in disarray. One of the Hunters, the lieutenant Phoebe was held by her hands and forced against a tree to be ravaged by one of the figures who called themselves the four riders of Helix."
The room gasped when they heard the name of Helix. "Why wont he just give it a rest?" asked Eros. "Isn't he tired of being beaten by the council?"
Ananke shook her head. "Beings such as Helix are a strange sort. They are not governed by logic or reason. In his entire existence Helix has never truly tasted defeated until he fought Percy all those years ago. I believe that our Uncle has never once wanted to admit that he may not be as powerful as he would love to believe himself to be. He lived by the assumption because he was the brother of two truly Omnipotent beings that are Chaos and Order that he too was Omnipotent, but it is not so. His power has a limit."
Hestia got up from her thrones and shrunk to the height of an eight year old and began healing the hunters and the unconscious duo. "We will need them to tell us all that they know. I can sense that they have good hearts." She spoke up so the council could hear her.
We all nodded and agreed that is was the wisest course of action in this regard. Percy looked troubled. "Hermes, go bring my children to us." She said. "Something is very wrong I can feel it in my bones."
Hermes quickly rose from his throne. "Right away Milady." He said with a bow and flashed away to bring back our children.
I looked at my wife and her expression worried me greatly. "What's the matter Percy?" I asked her.
She didn't seem to hear me at first before she turned her head to look at me. "I sense danger, so much danger." She said.
The council and I looked at her in surprise. "What do you mean you sense danger? Who's in danger?" Ananke asked Percy.
Percy uttered one word. "Olysia."
I raised an eyebrow, I didn't know who would have the gall to attack us here of all places. Hermes flashed in just as I was about to speak with ichor dripping from his mouth carrying my daughter Aikaterina who was unconscious and had a bloodied face and her clothes were matted with her ichor. Marino and Eione were bleeding ichor from their mouths and chests, but not heavily. Their faces were swollen. Percy leaped from her thrones to our children and before you knew it I was by their side. Fury burned through my body in the wake of my children being attacked.
Percy's eyes flared with power causing the room crack under its constricting force. "Who did this to my babies?" she asked with a voice that was deathly quiet.
Hermes gulped nervously as he felt my wife's power force him his knees. "Helix, he's here on Olysia." He said as Percy released him from the force of her power.
My eyes flared bright golden like the sun flooding the room with their searing light. "He did this to my kids?" I asked, my voice colder than I had ever felt it causing the council bar Percy and Lio who looked murderous to flinch.
Lio's eyes burst into watery flames. "No one hurts my sister." He whispered to his brother Marino who looked just as upset.
I placed a hand on Kat's forehead to heal her of her injuries. A golden light surrounded her body and she began to sigh contently in her sleep. I turned and began to heal Marino and Eione of their injuries.
"COME OUT AND PLAY OLYSIANS!" a voice shouted outside. "COME TO YOUR DEATHS!"
All of our clothes changed from council gear to battle armour. "Lio, Eione, Marino, Athena, Moros, Hydros, Aunt Hestia, Zoë and Artemis, I want you to take Irene and Ryan, and go to Olympus or anywhere safe until we give you word." Percy said looking at the deities she mention to do as they were told. They all gave her a nod. Our kids' faces were awash with intense fear. Percy and I gave them a hugs and kissed the foreheads. "Be safe, my darling children. I will see you again when this is over."
They gave us a reluctant a nod before they flashed away. I looked at Percy. "You ready love?" I asked my beloved causing her to smile.
"Ready as always Delian." She said giving me a kiss, before she leaped into action like missile towards the direction of the voice.
I stood there for a second drawing my courage to face what is to come. "Showtime." I said running in the direction Percy went.
I saw Percy walk slowly to the lone figure the dark horizon that I knew was Helix. "MARK MY WORDS HELIX, WHEN THIS NIGHT IS OVER, YOU WILL BEG ME TO END YOUR EXISTENCE. I AM GOING TO RIP YOU PIECE BY PIECE FOR HURTING MY CHILDREN AND I PROMISE IT WILL HURT. THAT IS MY PROMISE TO YOU!" Her voice was so powerful and frighteningly cold that it shook the very foundations of Olysia.
Helix walked out of the shadow with a snarl on his face. "Ever the arrogant Queen I see, huh Perseus?." He prodded hoping to draw her out and attack him.
Percy narrowed her eyes that were filled with nothing, but contempt for the being in front of us. "Call me what you will, be it Percy, Perseus, Persephone, Allura or whatever name your filthy mind can conjure, but no name is above me being called mom by my children or wife by my beloved Apollo." She said with such passion that Helix actually blushed with embarrassment.
"BAH!" he bellowed. "That matters little, you will all fall before the might of my army." He raised his hand swung it forward and a horde of millions upon millions of monsters appeared out of the shadows and what looked like millions of dragons filled the skies.
I leaped into the air and climbed aboard my chariot and called upon my golden recurve bow.
Helix smirked. "Attack!" he order the monsters. The horde of monsters descended upon the Olysians and the Primordial council with fury and bloodlust. I noticed that Nyx was in the skies with her own bow.
The Dragons roared and dropped down to attack our ground forces with their fiery breaths bearing down. "Nyx, you take right, I take left. Make sure no dragon reaches our ground forces." I shouted causing her to turn and she gave me a nod before she began to fire black arrows that seemed to absorb whatever they hit.
I drew my bow and began to shoot my arrows fiercely at the dragons lighting the night skies with my arrows. Down below I noticed that Percy had out her own bow that was designed by her to connect to her and made by Briaries. Over the years Percy began to improve in her skills with the bow until she was near my level which meant she never missed a shot. She summon two arrows and fired them at two monsters before she hit another monster with the stem of the bow before she shot two arrows into it's skull.
I saw a dragon hurling towards me, so I jumped and shot two arrows mid air and landed on my chariot before I threw five daggers at five different dragons and they dropped turning into golden dust. To my right Nyx was using her bow and whip to destroy the dragons. She swung her whip against the head of a dragon killing it before she fire hundreds of arrows in quick succession at the direction of the dragons.
Within minutes Nyx and I had killed millions of dragons, but they just kept coming. Thunder rumbled as streaks of lightening arced across the night lighting the skies even more. My father and step mother Hera were on a chariot pulled by storm the four winds shooting lightening bolts and fireball at the dragons. Hera leaped from the chariot and her body was engulfed in flames as she turned into an enormous 200ft long flaming Phoenix.
The Olympian council had joined the fight.
