-Jason Grace-

We found ourselves breaking into the clouds surrounding Mount Olympus finally, the ground still shaking from below us. "We are being followed by several giants," The Russian woman snarled towards the apparent Pharaoh.

Carter Kane didn't pay attention to her and faced Percy and I. "Can you reach your Gods here?" He asked quickly.

"Probably not, Zeus has locked up Olympus for some time now," Percy informed dryly.

Carter grew distressed to the thought. "I've lost contact with Horus again," he announced quietly towards us. "If we can't contact them, this is most likely a losing war."

"Wait, so now we don't have your Gods on our side?" My eyes widened to the thought. "And we have an entire army following us as we speak!"

Carter opened his mouth to reply when a sudden bolt of lightning struck five feet ahead of us. We all managed to get to a screeching halt and took in the burnt ground. "You dare to approach Mount Olympus this way?" His familiar voice roared from twenty feet ahead, glaring at all of us.

Well, the King of Gods is never usually alone; he obviously had the whole gang with him. Athena, Apollo, Hephaestus, even the dreaded Hera supported him as they approached all of us. "Wait, where's Ares?" Percy asked abruptly.

Zeus immediately glared as his nephew. "Causing trouble, most likely," he spoke with much disregard. "Percy Jackson, not only have you ignored my rule, you have also formed a horrid alliance with the Romans and Egyptians!"

"Shut up!" Carter snapped, earning shock from all of the demigods as he boldly approached the Greek Gods.

"Carter-" His sister started worriedly.

"You aggravating fucking bird!" Carter stopped literally in Zeus' face, which honestly alarmed him. "Stop being so pompous and aid us in defending your turf. Then we can speak boundaries."

Zeus finally pushed Carter gently out of his face, studying the magician. "Do I know you?"

Carter's face grew red with outrage, his fists clenching to the thought. "Carter Kane, be at ease," Hera suddenly spoke, her tone the only one calm. "Forgive my husband, the Roman and Greek forms are usually disconnected to the thoughts of the Gods you know us by."

"But you know?" Carter demanded.

She grinned a motherly grin towards him now, earning questionable looks from us who know her. "I know many things, surely you learned of that by now."

"Wait, you planned to bring the Egyptians into this too?" Percy spoke up.

She peered at us, as if counting all of us and knowing each name. "Sadie, you know-"

"Yeah yeah, I know," Sadie took a step forward, standing beside us. "I ended up with the Goddess that knows it all."

Hera simply smiled towards her, "You already know then that you cannot reach our Egyptian forms. Therefore, you must put up with us for aid."

"Wait, how am I supposed to use the spell if you're not in my head?" Sadie demanded.

"What is going on here?" Zeus' anger got the best of him now, angrily peering at his wife.

"So hosting Gods wasn't the way?" Walt asked.

"No, it never really was, Stone," Hera continued, ignoring her husband. "Your magic might be able to release us from the imprisonment of these forms. There are so many of you following different Gods too, you must be able to aid."

"Aid in what?" Sadie demanded.

"Sadie," Hera turned to her again, "what your uncle was looking into happens to be a way to mend us back into our original forms for a short time. With that, we can perhaps get Geb to bury himself further into the Duat."

"Therefore banishing Gaia?" Carter asked.

A sudden flash appeared and Ares dusted his hands off with a large grin stretched across his face. "And where have you been?" Zeus demanded as he peered at his son.

"Oh, finishing up some much needed business," Ares nodded towards Carter, who widened his eyes in reply.

"Wanna help get your nephew to cooperate?" Carter snarled towards him.

"Uh, that would be father in this case," Percy corrected quickly.

Ares thought for a moment before turning to Zeus' demanding glare, "They are coming. I just aided in bringing down Polarus."

"And who helped you with that?" Athena demanded.

Ares grinned towards her now, "Sorry sis, can't say. Top secret, you know-"

"You know too?" I asked of the God.

Ares paused to peer at me, "Yes, I am closer linked to him than Mars. Though, Mars is also closer to him than he is to me."

"Okay, let's skip the messy conversation," Percy suggested. "What do we need to do?"

Hera peered at Percy and I now, "Demigods, you must help us fight them off. Magicians, you are, for the majority of us, the only link we have to our original forms. You must have physical contact for the spell to be affective. For example," Hera gripped her husband's wrists and extended them towards Carter.

Carter eye's widened, but Hera insisted in her glare that he put his own hands around Zeus'. "Just like that, the exception goes to Alyssa," Hera peered at her, which the girl's breath slowed as she peered at the ground under her feet. "We don't have much time, demigods; you should get ready to defend us," she instructed as she peered past us.
