Let the battle between Vanguards and Destroyers commence! Enjoy and Review!
Claws POV:
I watched as the machine worked. I was sitting at the edge of Olympus, my legs dangling off the edge. Hestia had lost conscious a while ago so she wasn't screaming anymore. I felt myself relax a little; everything was going to plan, soon I would release my ancestor, his legions unleashed onto creation itself and then, we release the Destroyer. And then…everything ends.
I heard an explosion from behind me. I turned around and saw Teridax destroying one of the thrones. "Pathetic thrones" He murmured. "How these Olympians ever managed to reign supreme for so long is beyond me."
I smirked. "Simple: They used underlings for their battles, their so called children fought and died for their greed. Almost funny, beings with such great power having to use minors as their tools of war." I said.
Suddenly I sensed Feral running up to me. From the way he was running it was urgent. He stopped running when was a few feet away from me and I had turned my head around. "Lord Claws, Lord Claws the ones guarding the children of Blades have reported that Vanguards attacked them." Feral reported.
I stood up, both shocked and angry. "What?"
Feral nodded, "And Blade has appeared, except something is different about him, he seems stronger. He was able to take out the Makuta Beast."
That would explain the strange feeling I sensed. Blade has somehow gained new power, power that feels…older. And with the Vanguards still alive, this could ruin everything. I had to keep them distracted, preoccupied.
"Teridax" The Makuta turned to look at me. "Go and gather your forces, defend this building, I want that group hunted down and killed quickly."
"What about the other prison groups?" He asked.
I thought for a moment. "Keep them alive, knowing them they might try to free the other prisoners to strengthen their own forces." I said. Then I contacted the other Destroyers. "Destroyers, move out, keep the Vanguards separated and away from the building. Is that understood?"
"Yes Lord Claws!"
As they hurried away I grabbed a bag that was beside me. I pulled out a scimitar that was still in its sheath. I pulled out the sword, showing off its black blade, with red markings over it. The blade seemed to hiss at me with content. "Soon all will end." I murmured to myself as I rubbed the blade.
Havoc POV:
We were currently on 49th Street and 6th Avenue, only a couple of more blocks to the Empire State. So far we haven't run into anymore Fade forces or prison sites. We ran into five so far and now we had a total of thirty Demigods, fifty marines, and the God Athena. I couldn't sense any enemies nearby either; which meant Claws was planning something for else.
"I still don't see why we shouldn't free the other prisoners. The more the better." Hazel said as he hefted his shield. Most of the demigods were armed to the teeth with swords, spears, shields, axes, bows and arrows. The marines had grenade launchers or automatic rifles.
"We can't waste anymore time. If they succeed then we'll have even more problems then just the Fade." I replied as I kept scanning each building for signs of enemies. And when I mean scan, I mean like X-ray vision scan (I know pretty cool huh?) but I still saw no sign of the enemy.
Suddenly I heard a noise from behind. I turned around and to see the smoke of an explosion. Then there was another explosion, this time next to us, knocking a couple of us off our feet.
"What in Chaos's name was that?" Lory shouted as she helped Annabeth up. Coming into view I saw an armored giant walking towards us. He had on his arms what appeared to be Gatling guns, two on each arm. Attached to his shoulders were missile pods, four on each one, and finally there was an energy cannon sticking out of his chest. He fired several more shots from his guns, nearly hitting us.
"Shit we can't move on with him behind us." I said. Then I turned towards Ka-boom. "Annihilators take care of him!" I shouted.
Ka-boom lifted his grenade launcher. "LET'S DO IT!" He yelled as he and the other Annihilators charged the massive giant.
"Everyone!" I shouted. "Keep moving, if I know what that was, we need to move-"
My sentence was cut off as something slammed into my side, causing me to crash into a building. I got up to see a bulky bald dark blue skin man glaring at me. He had three giant fingers and thumbs on his hand and rhino like feet. He also had a giant scorpion tail.
"You're mine!" He growled as he lunged at me with great speed. I dodged the attack and slammed a punch into his face. That pushed him back a bit as I got into a fighting stance.
I realized that the others were watching so I yelled out. "Go I'll deal with him, now move!"
As they continued to get out of the battleground I heard a laugh from above. I looked up a saw a tall thin man with grey skin. He wore a helmet with horns on it and beside that had only pants on him. In both hands were these freaky looking maces that started to spin as he charged right at me.
"Ah crud" I said.
Normal POV:
Terminator opened fire on Recon with his Gatling gun, who was running at him with great speed. Since he was so focused on the runner, he didn't see Agent and Snipes taking shots at him, making him wince as they struck his armor. But the Destroyer ignored that as he focused his attention back on Recon, who had then climbed onto his back and began banging him with a battle bat.
"Boink, Boink, Boink!" He yelled as he kept hitting him. Terminator finally grabbed his leg and threw him to the side, and now put his attention on Ka-boom and Trooper. He fired his chest cannon at them.
"I'm going to blast you into thin glue!" Ka-boom shouted as he jumped to the side while Trooper used a car to dodge it. Trooper fired his bazooka while Ka-boom fired two shots from his grenade launcher. All there attacks struck home. While they stun him, Burns did a slid right underneath Terminator, firing his flamethrower. The Destroyer roared as the flames made his armor hotter, but it also allowed Doc to get behind him. Doing a spin in midair, Doc used his electric saw to cut off Terminator's left arm. Doc smirked as he watched the giant roar in pain. "Did that zting? Zorry" He said mockingly.
Terminator roared, "I'm going to shred you to pieces for that Vanguard scum!" He yelled as he prepared shoot Doc, but was struck by several rockets. Mechanic had built a rocket turret and struck the Destroyer in the back. Then Bigs walked in with his Gatling gun at the ready and firing. "Come get some!" He shouted as he fired his weapon.
Soon the other Annihilators began to open fire with the cover of the cars. This only to seem to annoy and anger him even further as the projectiles bounced off his armor. Letting out a roar he fired with his remaining right arm, chest cannon and rockets, destroying countless things from cars to building debris.
"I think we got him mad pardners!" Mechanic said as he ducked for cover. Ka-boom fired another grenade. He turned towards Mechanic, "Ya think?"
Chad POV:
I looked back to see my Dad fighting that giant monster who was soon joined by another one with flails. I wanted to go help him but something told me those guys weren't like the ones we've been fighting before. So I had no choice but to keep running alongside my sister and Mom.
"Incoming!" Someone shouted. Then out of nowhere two missiles looking things struck the ground in front of me. I felt like my head got spun around as I landed on the ground. I could hear Lory, Crystal and Mom shouting my name. Next thing I knew I was being picked up by Charger.
"Where did those come from?" Will asked, his bow and arrow out and ready as he scanned the buildings. Ember was also scanning the area when a large shadow loomed over her, Wolf, and Ty. A massive warrior stood on top of a building's ledge. His feet were that of a hawk's. He had two bulky arms with cannons attached to them and his eyes were red. His armor was blue and his skin pale. His teeth were sharped as swords and he had a jet pack strapped to his back. He jumped off the building and when he landed on the ground he caused a little tremor that nearly knocked me off my feet.
Before anything else Ty, Wolf, Fist and Ember stood between that giant and us. "You guys keep going." Wolf said as he pulled out his dual knives. "We'll take care of this Destroyer."
"Are you guys sure?" Darius asked, sword out. Reaper put his hand on his shoulder. "Trust me kid, to us" He said as he backed away. "This is personal."
"Indeed" A raspy and shadowy voice said. We all look up into the sky and saw a winged black armor being looked down at us with red eyes. His mouth curved into a vicious grin. Axxon and Brutaka immediately pulled out their own weapons. "Teridax" Axxon growled.
Teridax merely grinned. "The shadows have arrived."
No one moved, not a hand, a foot a head nothing. Both sides were waiting for the other to make the first move. I was practically squeezing Tidal Wave so hard that my hand was turning red. I could tell that people were getting tense, waiting for something to happen. Any moment now, someone was going to fire the first shot…
"Now!" Ty cried as he fired his shotgun. Fist and Wolf charged the giant Destroyer. Ember turned to us. "You guys run!" She shouted as she threw a fireball at the giant.
Teridax threw a shadow ball at us but was deflected by Axxon's axe. Then Brutaka leaped at the Makuta, blade drawn. "We'll handle Teridax you guys get to the building!" Axxon said as he charged to join Brutaka. Ram began yelling to everyone to move before we got caught in the crossfire. "Move it boys and girls move it!" He yelled. Lory helped me back to my feet and we began running along with the others.
Claws POV:
"Feral report" I said as I sat in front of the machine.
The small Destroyer walked up to me then bowed. Behind him were Deathsting and Oblivion. Deathsting looked like a wasp human hybrid. His body was wide rather then tall, his wings were tucked underneath his shell. Oblivion was tall a muscular, the size of a van to be exact, with organic tan skin. His head was like that of a worm with his mouth and teeth going around in a circle, his big black eyes scanning the room. His left arm was a giant with a large claw with three fingers, excluding the thumb. His right arm was a giant cannon (A/N: He looks kind of like Shockwave from the transformers movie except he's tan and organic).
"My Lord, Shade and Teridax have engaged some of the Vanguards while the rest of the group continues to make their way here. Jumpkill and Clanks are fighting Blade though I doubt they'll last long against his power." Feral reported.
"Agreed" I said and then paused to think. "What is Spike's and Bloodsound's status?" I asked.
This time Deathsting spoke. "Bloodsound has gone off to investigate some ripple in the sky, Spike is guarding the Olympians down below."
"Deathsting go and join Spikes in guarding them. Oblivion you and Feral stay here. I want nothing to screw this up." I ordered.
"Yes my Lord" All three said as one of them flew off of Olympus. I picked up the sword I had with me earlier. The blade began to glow even more, which meant one thing…
…the pillars were beginning to break.
Third Person POV:
On a building several miles away stood a person. He was average human size, had black shiny and spiky hair. He wore what appeared to be a long silver and black leather coat with white line going along the sleeves and down the coat. Strapped to his legs were black and silver armor leg pads and he wore black shoes. Standing beside him up straight with no support was a long one-sided battleaxe, with markings on the blade, three circles with red crosses on both sides. On his hands were also the same markings except crimson. The only odd thing about him was that his face, or his eyes to be exact. His right eye was bright yellow, while the other was black.
All of a sudden a book appeared out of nowhere in front of the man, opening and flipping pages on its own. It finally stopped somewhere in the middle of the book, two blank pages. Then a drawing began to appear on the pages, a temple on top of a red planet appeared on one page. The other showed the inside the temple with a pillar that was cracked in between the middle.
The man smirked as he watched this. "Everything is going according to plan." He said as he flipped through some more pages in the book. "The Chaos Wars have begun."
The mystery man represents a third party that will coming up in hopefully the sequel of this story.
I'm actually working on making this into an actual book, except without the Percy Jackson characters. Review
Also the HestiaxChaos couple challenge is still going on. Let me know if you're going to do it and when you post the story let me know.
