5. battle for the steps to Orthrys

Perseus: The Imperfect Perfect Child

Chapter 5: Footsteps of Orthrys/ Beginning of the battle for Orthrys:

AN: I have a poll on my profile for who Percy will get paired with, if it's someone from modern times then I will get to that time skip faster but if it's not there will be more ancient Greece and possibly the Trojan War I'm not sure though.

... "Ummm, well I'm Perseus, and for what you mean well it's a long story." I knew that this would happen I had to ask Ouranos for a lot of power to finish off the battle like that but I have to explain to the gods now and what am I going to tell the soldiers? Zeus spoke up. "Yes, I'd assume it is now how and why do you have all of that power and where did you get it. Also why didn't you tell us before that you're a god. Well Zeus, I'm not a god, actually well hmm... how do I explain this to you." Hmm, never thought I'd forget what I am well lets see, demi-titan, immortal blessed by Pontus a bunch of titans and adopted by Ouranos, and has the domain of weather and water... even though I am not a deity. Okay logic. "Well you see I'm actually a demi-titan but let me explain that later. I am blessed by a ton of titans the Primordial of liquids Pontus, trained by Hydros primordial of water, trained by Ouranos the first and most powerful Primordial, adopted by Ouranos and has the domain of weather and liquids. Even though I am not a deity just an immortal." They just looked at me like I'm retarded. This time it was Hades talking. "Okay, why have we never heard of you then? And what Titan is your parent." Hades said. (this talking thing is confusing do I close quotes after each person? IDK ummm...)"Well first of all you never heard of me because I was born before you and when Hestia was born I was already off training. And for your second question Kronos is my father." At this all of their eyebrows went up. "He created me as a sort of perfect child but I ended up being an imperfect child as I left him. (heh, get it get it? Oh... um never mind *cries*)

After a few more hours of explaining my life up to this all of them left except for Zeus but Hera seems to always be eyeing me but I'm not sure why. "So, Perseus. This is really hard for me because well I'll admit right now I have a large ego but could you help me?" Wow, that must've been like swallowing a spear for him. "Yeah, of cource what is it?" "Well you see, I was wondering if you could help me with the whole lightning control thing and electricity, since like it's sort of obvious that you're pretty good at it." Well that is certainly not what I was expecting.

"Sure, of course but you must understand, unless there is weather like a storm my lightning is rather weak. And I usually use black lightning or shadowlightning, but when there is a storm I can use regular lightning really well so yeah sure." His face lit up like a lightbulb, wow I can really use this as amazing blackmail later, just wow. "Yeah! That'd be great thank you so much Perseus can we start now? I just want to know how to get these abilities more powerful without relying completely on the masterbolt. Oh yeah, no problem just gimme a minute.

40 minutes later: Olympus 3rd person pov:

Perseus was floating in the clouds in his armor with his spear drawn as he looked at Zeus who was just floating up to him from the palace on Mt. Olympus. Perseus spoke in a rich deep sounding voice. "Lord Zeus, first we will start by you showing me just what you can do right now, like already." Zeus nodded and raised his hand. A few seconds later a large bolt struck his arm and he moved it to point at a tree in the distance and a bolt of lightning flew from his fingers into the tree evaporating all of the water instantly. "Okay that's good but now let's try that again but without using your arm just try to get lightning to strike a few miles to the west." A few seconds later and a convincing constipated Zeus a large bolt struck a hill a few miles west. "Okay that's great Zeus now let me show you all the lightning I can use here lets move away from the camp.

A few minutes later Zeus and Perseus appeared in a valley several miles east of . "Okay first I'll show you shadow lightning." Perseus raised his hands and pointed them at a rock. He flexed his arms and arcs of black lightning leapt from his fingertips to the rock and melted it in an instant. He kept up the flow without looking tired and melted a 1200 foot deep hole in the cavern wall in a few seconds, without breaking a sweat. "Well that's shadow lightning, or black lightning you can choose what you want to call it." Zeus just stood there dumbfounded. A few seconds later he collected himself. "Wow, well then that was quite... electrifying." Perseus seemed to smirk a bit. "Yes, I guess you could say, now here I'll show you an example of a storm I make.

About two minutes later there was a hurricane spinning at 350mph around Perseus with lightning flashing everywhere and flashflood rains covering the entire area. Perseus's eyes were glinting dark blue and stormy gray. "And this! Is the power of WEATHER Perseus closed his eyes and a second later a bolt a little over 50 feet wide slammed down and made a 50 ft. hole all the way from the surface down 12 miles.

Zeus stood there dumbfounded again with his mouth wide open staring as Perseus flef up out of the hurricane and willed it to begin moving. His eyes went back to their natural mix of colors and spoke again. "Well, now that I'm thourouly tired as Tartarus I think we'll focus on your powers now, oh yeah and that hurricane will be hovering over the Titan's forces near Orthrys. That should keep them occupied for a while.

25 years later, Perseus pov: Mt. Olympus:

I had trained Zeus to be able to summon much stronger bolts and more of them, I had also began training Poseidon in water and storms and such. Also, Hera just keeps on trying to get close to me.

So as I was walking to the training grounds to duel Poseidon with my Trident Tripli a messenger ran up to me. "Commander Perseus, Lord Zeus requests your presence in the war room." The man said. "Sure, no problem thank you." "You're welcome sir, it was no problem."

So as I arrived in the room there was a huge map laid out. Zeus spoke up first. "Okay, since Perseus is here let's begin shall we?" "So, we have decided that after all these battles, The battle of Thessaly, the battle of Delphi, Battle of the Ionian Sea, Battle for Olympus, Battle for Sparta, Battle of Athens, Return to Sparta and the Return to Thessaly (Yup, I just skipped 99% of the war... sorry?) I believe it's time to end this war. We have more troops than the Titans now, however they have far more immortals. So I have decided that we must all fight in this battle. Yes, I know we haven't all been at one battle since Thessaly but we must finally take Orthrys." He looked around at all of us and we all were paying close attention to Zeus. We were all here, Hades, Poseidon, Zeus, Hestia, Demeter, and Hera. We all listened as we had been waiting to storm Orthrys for ages. "Yes, we will take the entire army and slowly encircle Orthrys.

line break: 1 year later, steps to orthrys: Perseus pov:

We had started 125 miles away from Orthrys and now we are one mile away from the steps and all of the Titans but the origional six are down here. Zeus spoke up. "Okay men! We make the final push today. I want Poseidon attacking from the south with his army and the Atlantian Army. I want Hades attacking with his army from the East. I want Perseus and his armies attacking from the west as that's where the steps are. Finally me and my army will attack from the Sout. Now before we go I would like to talk to Perseus in private.

Zeus and I walked into the command tent. "Perseus I want you to wreak havoc on their army before the battle begins. Just make a tornado touch down on their Southern base camp." Of course... Zeus wants me to weaken HIS opponents... ugh. "Sure Zeus but I'll hit the Western camps too, Okay?" "Yes sure go ahead start all of that now we attack in fifteen minutes.

I left the camp and flew up into the skies. I focused for a second before a tornado instantly touched down on the Southern camp. Within five minutes all the tents were flying around in the air and a little over 11,000 of their troops had died, that was only a small fraction of them though, each side had a little over 250,000 troops. Then Orthrys had the elite troops, all Demi-titans and there were 100k of them. So we were in for one hell of a fight.

Then I summoned another on the western side. This time all the tents were tied down really strong and everyone was digging in, monster mortal and demigod. I only wiped out half the tents and killed 2k so I decided that I should use some lightning. I raised my hand and fried about 4000 of them with shadow lightning. "Ahhh, there we go there's a warm up." I smiled as I floated down to the front of my troops, I had the second most troops after Zeus. I had 210,000 I used to have 300,000 but the last battle left me depleted so we have to use this many, we were at a number disadvantage and we were attacking not defending. But we were much better trained as I had trained all of them like 10,000 at a time. Large classes.

"Okay soldiers. Today we storm Orthrys, we will take the Western side, the side with the steps, The Titans Perses, Lelantos and Atlas will be leading them. Now we will storm their defenses an kill them all, NO PRISONERS!" I yelled and my entire army roared back. "NO PRISONERS!" "Charge!

We thundered across the plain 'till the camp came into view. I had seen it from above but all of the soldiers were on the field already. The enemies were in a defensive position. It was clear they were missing some soldiers as they were about 10 feet short on their phalanx so there was an opening I could already spot. they had a legion of mortals in Testudo formation. They had a double line with the first line as a 500 foot long line of two soldiers deep phalanx with the scond line being 150 feet of reserve for the phalanx and about 650 feet of archers. the same on both sides of the field. So basically I am looking straight at a Testudo square with prior mentioned double lines formation on both side in like a / shape line like slanted lines so it's a funnel into the testudo square. But in front of the square there is a short phalanx. I also saw a huge reserve of dracaena and hellhounds.

"FALL IN! I WANT LEFT FLANK IN WEDGE FORMATION! I WANT RIGHT FLANK IN WEDGE FORMATION! I WANT CENTER IN PHALANX FOLLOW LEGION ONE'S SPEED!" I started my best legion's speed at a 15mph jog.

In five minutes the left and right flank came in contact with the sides of their funnel. I led the phalanx up into the Testudo square. I ordered my second in command to lead them into the battle and I took off straight for Perses as he was beginning to tear apart my left flank.

I saw him about to kill my fourth in command, a young demigod son of Hades. I summoned my shield and devaporized my spear as I had got Hydros to enchant all my weapons to be able to devaporize and vaporize. I slid into the strike with my shield first. I caught his downward slash right on the edge of my shield. "So, the little commander comes out to play eh?" The titan of Destruction boomed at me. "Zetheus go lead your flank and this time try to avoid the eight foot tall one ton Titans okay." "Um okay, yes sir." Then the young general ran off back into the fray. I turned to Perses. "You are a disgusting piece of shit, you shall feal pain thousands of times more than your pathetic soldiers did when they were vaporised by that tornado.

"Ha! I knew it was you who summoned those, now lets get going you will beg for mercy at the power of a TITAN!" "Yeah, yeah, lets just fight or are you afraid of a mere mortal gifted with a few powers and partial immortality." I lied of course but still, what's the point of saying who I am? He will reform one day so nah.

Surprisingly I started off the battle as I thrus my spear forward in an attempt to gut the Titan and end this battle quickly but as usual he blocked it. I leapt back and vaporized my spear and devaporized my bow. I pulled the string back summoning 5 arrows and fired six sets of five arrows in about two seconds. Perses blocked the first 18 but the last ten met their marks. Each arrow finding a chink in his armor Perses bellowed in immense agony. I devaporized my spear once again and launched it straight into Perses's chest effectively knicking him back about 150 feet. I sprinted forward summoning my trident.

I thrust my trident straight into his stomach making him cough golden ichor. I then summoned my spear back again and thrust it into Perses's head killing him to which lie on the ground in a pool of ichor.

I looked around to check on the happenings so far in the battle. Their left flank has been almost completely deteriorated with the loss of their Titan. The right flank is in a stalemate as our center has wiped out the phalanx and their Testudo formation. So I decided to help the left flank finish off so we can surround the right flank and maybe even kill Atlas.

Just as I got excited about fighting Atlas again I noticed my second and third in command, Ajax and Peleus backing Atlas up with the help of twenty or so archers and about 9 other soldiers. Right before they could surround and kill the General he dissapeared in a golden flash. Saved again by Kronos dammit.

Well I noticed that Lelantos has taken to the skies and was currently trying to take out our right flank from the air just out or archer range. I decided to take care of that.

I leapt up into the air with shield and spear in hand ready to fight the titan of the Air and Hunting. I flew at about mach two as I bounded towards the Titan. Just before I got within bow range I slowed down to 55 mph. launched my spear once I got within spear range (about 3400 feet for Perseus) I launched the spear and drew Anaklusmos in long sword form. (Look up Greek straight sword) and charged.

At the last second Lelantos noticed me mid swipe. He ducked and shot a volley of arrows. I blocked them all with my shield and sword and threw my shield like a frizzbe again knocking his bow away and landing in a demi-titan's throat.

Lelantos drew a Kopis and with a flap of his wings was attempting to swing at my head but it was hella obvious that he wasn't very practiced with a sword and he knew that too as his expression showed. I blocked a swipe to my feet and shot a bit of shadow lightning from my two smallest fingers, just enough to get the Titan to flinch and I capitalized that by thrusting my sword all four feet right into his gut.

The Titan of the Air bellowed in agony as I devaporized a hunting knife and held it icepick grip and shoved it right through his skull. The titan was dead, and all that was left was a small circular phalanx. There were about 1 thousand enemies left and they were all in said phalanx so I decided that I'll just end this. I flew up so I was right above them devaporized my bow and took aim. I shot five arrows at a time until the entire right side was open for attack and I kept raining arrows down as my troops went in and wiped them out.

We lost 67,000 troops in the battle. They lost their entire Western Army. I hadn't lost any of my high ranking officers the highest up was a Colnel. (I don't know the ranks back then and I don't think I should use Roman ranking systems so I'll just use like Colnel, general, Commanders and such.)

After we finished up the western armies we set up a left and right flank to guard the Steps to Orthrys. (Steps to Orthrys or Steps To Orthrys? Wha?)

I went over and checked on each of my half brothers' work and they all had minimal casualties and had won their battles.

line break: command tent: 3rd person pov:

Perseus, Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Hestia, Demeter, and Hera were all gathered together in the command tent discussing how they will take Orthrys. "We must rest then attack tomorrow." Stated Zeus. "Brother we know not how powerful the Titan's forces are we could walk into a death trap, we must attack today and catch them off guard." Poseidon retorted in a slightly annoyed tone. "Both of you we mustn't attack at all yet. We must delay and simply surround them and make small sneak attacks from the shadows." Stated Hades in his usual darkish tone. Finally I decided to interrupt.

"Okay all of you have good ideas but each of them would get at least one of us killed. Listen." All of their heads turned to look at me. "Zeus you are currently married to Metis correct?" I asked. "Yes, you were there for the wedding." Zeus said in a questioning tone. "Yes I know. The point is that most of the Titans are either dead or fighting with us.

"The only Titans they have left are Atlas, Hyperion, Krios, Koios, and I believe Iapetus freshly reformed." They all stared at me like "get on with it" but I just returned the stare. "You see they have all the origional Titans and only a few of them have fought in this war most have just sat idly by and planned attacks like Koios and Kronos." Hyperion, Atlas, and Krios have war experience against us so we know their capabilities." I got more of the annoyed stares.

"We must allow our children to fight in the final battle." The moment there was an uproar. After it toned down a bit, (a few thunderbolts of mine are responsible for that) I was able to explain. "You see Athena has been a great strategist and although she still thinks I'm a spy for some reason she is a good warrior. I understand she's only been alive for sixty for years but still she's a good warrior. I understand that the rest of you have only demi-god children who you use as a guard of sorts but we must put all of them on the front lines."

"No seperate groups. I will lead and we will attack tonight." Do not question me this time. I have listened and followed your plans with input from me now it's time for you guys to listen to me. And I believe that Hestia agrees." Everyone looked at Perseus with a bit of distain after my later statement but looked at Hestia and she nodded. "Yes I agree with Perseus, he is correct."

Everyone was surprised as Hestia didn't comment often in these meeting and never went against her family.

time skip: 11:00pm Steps to Orthrys: Perseus Pov:

I led everyone in a huge square of a little over 500,000 troops and gods and nymphs. We marched up the steps.

It took fifteen minutes for the enemy to begin firing upon us. There were javelins, arrows, spears, rocks, knives, and axes launched against us. I called out "Testudo formation" and none of the projectiles made contact with the soldiers. Once we made it to the first level of the city we branched off into it.

(Think of it like this, there is a huge mountain with steps a bout 1000 feet across. they go all the way up the Moutain in a straight line, every like 450 feet there is a leveled ground with marble floor that comes off of the steps but the steps keep on going up. Like a corkscrew wihtout any slant on the edges.) We branched off and from my memory this was the shopping district.

We marched off, no formation just slaughter all mortals and demi- titans. If you see a Titan alert a god.

I was currently fighting a hastily assembled phalanx of 250 mortals judging by their half strapped armor, missing knives and daggers and no armchers.

I didn't even pay attention when the Captain shouted for me to surrender peacefully and I'll be spared. I leapt forward devaporizing my spear and slapping my bracelet forming ricoche as it unspiraled on my wrist.

I landed with a thud. I raised my spear and stabbed the Captain right through his chest plate where his armor was strongest effectively shocking the enemy.

"It's him! It's the "Harbinger of Terror" One of the assembled warriors shouted using the nickname the enem had given me over the centuries this war has lasted.

I bashed one on the head with enough force to destroy his skull and let my reflexes and centuries of training take over.

I blocked one thrust with the flat of my blade and scewered three on my spear while breaking one's ribcage with a backkick.

I pulled back my spear with a "shink" and whipped it like a sword cutting a head off with the edge of the spear head. I stabbed one with an downward full extetnion of my arm stabbing him in the eye with the sharp butt of the spear. I noticed an opening and thew my shield activating the sharp edged on release severing 19 heads. I summoned ricoche back to me (Like Thor's hammer) just in time to block a sword thrust and scewer them on my still nameless spear. I vaporized a throwing knife betwen my fingers and flung it at a fleeing warrior's neck killing him.

I continuted like this thrust, swing, block, crush, bash, stab, stab stab, parry, riposte, kick, dodge, stab, swing, block, block, dodge, scewer. Just over and over for the next minute and a half.

After I finished that tiny skirmish I jumped up and willed the air currents making me fly. I ascended the mountain and met up with the force again twenty minutes later at the main palace.

As I marched with Anaklusmos in it's twin scimtar form flanked by Zeus on my right and Poseidon on my left and Hades behind us we lead the army straight through the gates and into the field that surrounds the main palace.

As expectd Kronos stood in the center. On the right it went Atlas, Hyperion, Iapetus. On his left it went Krios, Koios, and Pallas.

Kronos spoke first. "You have lead a powerful army and almost destroyed us my sons. For that good job. Although I am deeply dissapointed in the fact that you required the help of him the newly crowned "Harbenger of Terror"

Zeus grew a red face and his eyebrows went down and seemed to lid his eyes. "NO ONE, cares! Listen father." He said father like it was the worst possible curse. "We have a lot of Titans on our side, I am married to one of them. It is obvious that someone had to stop your rule you are a tyrant." Kronos seemed to bite back a laugh at this. "Ha, you see you will be just the same. I killed Ouranos because I wanted power and Gaia offered it to me, but you see Ouranos had grown powerhungry at the time as well, all rulers become power hungry, it's just something that happens."

Zeus growled and I looked at my ex-father with hatred. How dare he. Ouranos became power hungry yes, but he corrected it and Gaea realized her mistake but she is currently trying to get Ouranos to accept her again.

I noticed the gods had charged Kronos and the soldiers were battling the royal guard.

I drew Anaklusmos and put it into dual scimtar form. I looked at the formation of the Titans. Kronos was toying with Hades, Poseidon was handing Hyperion his ass on a platter and Zeus was in a stalemate with Krios. Atlas was having a grand old time beating the shit out of Hera and Demeter. Koios and Hestia were going at it fire sword to silver shield and spear.

I decided to jump in and finish Hyperion. I leapt through the air throwing both scimtars into the sky devaporizing my spear and launched it at Hyperion.

Before I hit the ground I spun and kicked Kronos right in the ribs with my shin breaking a rib and knocking the wind out of him. I held my hands up and caught both scimtars.

I launched some black lightning at my grandfather Atlas to knock him away from scewering Hera. When I did this Kronos's eyebrows shot up because the only one that can use Shadow Lightning is Ouranos.

I quickly leapt into the fray of the soldiers. I looked to see that my generals and high ranking soldiers seemed to lead the entire army at the head plowing through the demi-titans killing hundredsa making their own little island in the middle of it all.

I activated the poison on my scimtars and sliced one head off with my right scimtar. The left went up blocking four strikes and followed up with an electrified slash of my right cutting all four in half and elecrecuting three to death that went to block the strike.

I jumped and tucked my legs to dodge a javelin and vaporized Anaklusmos and summoned my bow which I still have yet to name...(Hint hint, give me names for the spear and bow in reviews or pm's) I drew back the string summoning 5 arrows and fired all of them on one draw killing two archers and three javelin throwers.

I vaporized my bow and devaporized anaklusmos in scimtar form again.

About five minutes later I had killed around 1000 of them and left the other 6400 to our 400,000 that were engaged with them as they circled the demi-titans about 250 surrendered to us.

I ran back over to assist in killing the Titans. I was about to block Atlas's strike to Demeter's back when I felt a tingling in the back of my neck. Never doubting my senses I ducked and flipped the coin in my pocked and a beautiful primodial-platinum scythe grew to full size and I noticed an arrow soar right above where I was just standing.

I looked up to see the titan Koios firing an arrow right before he was killed by Hestia. I blocked the second arrow with my scythe "Ripper" (Greek names confuse people so I won't use greek names anymore fow weapons other than Riptide/Anaklusmos) I sprinted forward and blocked Atlas's second strike as the first was dodged. Our blades locked and he seemed to almost recognize the blade when I spun ripper and knocked him unconcious with the butt end of the Scythe.

The last Titan left was Kronos as Pallas and Perses had been dealt with by our army. I looked and saw Kronos about to cut Zeus in half with his Scythe but at the last minute Zeus summoned a bolt of lightning that struck Kronos knocking him back about twelve feet.

AN:I have a poll up for who Percy will be paired with, Also please pm or review names for his spear and bow. Also I will take the top three reviews of the next two weeks and if you are one of them you can add something to the story or take it out. Also guys come on review I got 14 follows and 8 favorites, so if each of reviewed once just telling me what you think that would help me change how the story will go, it is my first so I need people to tell me what they think of it. I need a reader's prospective not just the author's.
