Prompt: Song: We Can't Back Down, by Demi Lovato from Camp Rock 2

We watched with bated breath as thunder rolled around Mount St. Helens, finally with a burst of energy we watched as Typhoon broke free of the mountain, I watched Hephaestus cringe, it had been his favourite forge after all, I watched as Ares started sharpening his knife in anticipation, while Aphrodite stood up determined and snapped her fingers, suddenly she was dressed in full-battle armour, holding her face mask in her hands, she took one look at our disbelieving faces and scoffed.

"What?" She yelled and slammed her hand on the guard for emphasis.

"Aphrodite, are you seriously considering going into a battle where it will get bloody and messy?" Ares asked, she set a dark glare on him.

"Well I'm not staying here and backing away from him, if I don't die trying to stop him getting to Olympus, I will not just sit here while you all fight it without me. Either I come or else." She warned.

"Maybe he's not coming after us?" Hermes said weakly. "Maybe he heard about hot dogs and wanted to try some?" He offered, Aphrodite raised her chin defiantly.

"Whether he wants hot dogs or not, I will not sit back and wait for him to destroy the only home I have ever known." She spat and then glared at the screen with such a force I was worried that it would melt or that she would kick it.

"I agree with Hermes, maybe we should wait a while to see what he wants." Apollo said weakly, I nodded along with him. Aphrodite looked at each of us in turn, her hair slowly changing colours to finally settle for black and she tapped her helmet anxiously. Her eyes travelled around each us once more.

"We have at best seven days to beat this beast at best, and you all want me to wait?" She asked us, her voice wavered at the end and I knew she hated fighting but she wanted to protect our home. Nobody said anything for a few minutes. "This may be our last home, if Typhoon, or heavens forbid Kronos attacks, we're done, finished, gone. There will be no more Olympus, no more demigods, no more Olympians. We can't back down, this may be our final fight and I intend to be there." Aphrodite vented and Athena reached out to touch her.

"Aph..." She started, Aphrodite moved away quickly.

"Don't. Just don't, she summoned a sword and a shield and set them down on her throne before taking her helmet and placing it on her face. "It's been nice knowing you guys." She told us before picking up her weapons and flashing out of Olympus.

"She..." Ares yelled shocked, I felt nervous, Aphrodite was a lover, not a fighter. I looked at the screen nervously as she flashed in, the newsreporter was gone now but I saw her arrive.

"HEY UGLY!" I heard her yell against the storm, she raised her shield as Typhoon went to slam her in to the ground and she completed a barrel roll out of the way. "Is that the best you've got? I wonder how you got your wife, it can't be for your skills, or your personality, or your looks either." She yelled before performing another barrel roll and sticking her sword in Typhoon's foot as soon as she could, she got back up kneeling and removed her sword. She continued taunting him and at one point she came close to being smashed to the ground. Typhoon had yet to move from the mountain, so it meant she was distracting enough, finally he got a hold of Aphrodite in his grip and brought her up to get a look.

"Aphrodite!" I yelled, I summoned my armour and got it on.

"Are we gonna smash his-" Ares asked, I glared at him and made sure my armour was in place.

"Lets get him." Athena said as she closed her owl helmet. We flashed to the mountain and Zeus shot his first bolt at Typhoon's left shoulder, the arm that held Aphrodite, she screamed as she started to fall, but I pulled her onto my chariot.

"Guys!" She gave me a quick hug before jumping from the chariot to the ground.

"For Olympus!" Apollo yelled dramatically as he shot an arrow at Typhoon, I followed his lead and sent a barrel of arrows towards the beast. I didn't care that I might die in this battle, all I cared about was that I was fighting for my home, for my family and friends. We can't back down.

A.N I wouldn't believe it if you told me Aphrodite was the first one to go into battle, even on her own, I did note that she's a lover, not a fighter, but I kinda figuire she'll make an exception for Olympus, it's her home. I did like writing this though and to the reviewer who told me they were all connected, thanks for mentioning that, but I trying to be as random as possible, hence the cuteness in the last chappie. It was my fave to write.

I don't own anything to do with Percy Jackson or the Olympian gods, thank you goodnight it is 4 am I want to continue writing, but can someone spare me the wrath of my younger sister, she get furious when I stay on all night.

Wish me luck and press that button.
