The screen flickered an then disappeared
"What the actually fucknuckles happened" Percy asked
"I think... I think the gods just lost" Leo replied, in shock
"Excuse me but - HOW THE SYTX DID WE LOSE AGANIST THE GIANTS" Apollo screamed
Everyone covered their ears, to save them from the God of Music's horrible screams. Artemis walked towards her brother and covered his mouth
Athena let go of her ears and sighed, "I think- I know what Polybotes meant when he said Gaea was going to destroy all of us"
The fact that Apollo stopped yelling and all the eyes were on her, she got the hint
"They is something we never told you... there are other gods" Athena raised her hands
"AND before you start shouting, we never told you because... honestly we were scared off them" She paused
"When we were at high of our power, they will still stronger. Like Thor. When he was young, he could fight fate, drink 1/4 of the oceans, and lift 1/4 of the earth. Or Ra, he was the first Pharaoh of Egypt and basically a more powerful Helios, he could fight the forces of evil singlehanded"
She realised how powerful the old gods were, well compared to the demigods
"And Gaea wants to wipe all of gods from her domain, that's the Egyptians, the Norse, Shinto, Chinese, Aztecs... so on"
"That risks not just Western Civilization but ever form of the mythological world, including separate dimensions. There won't be a place on heaven or Earth, Gaea can't go and destroy."
"That's bad, isn't it?" Calypso gulped, fearful for the first time in centuries
In a crude way of saying things, yes daughter of Atlas it is" Ares replied
" I thought, Western Civilization going down, but the entire universe that's worse. This is Avenger level stuff" Leo said, trying to lighten the mood
"Unfortunately, we don't have our own Scarlet Witch or Elizabeth Olsen" Hermes said, helping the Latino's efforts
Apollo and Leo sighed, "Elizabeth Olsen, she is something"
They both glared at each other
"Dibs," Apollo and Leo said loudly
"I'm a god, can't I have go things and celebrities"
"Yeah you have fun for 4 thousands years, leave someone for me"
"Aren't you in a relationship with Calypso"
"And... when has that stopped anyone of you lot" He pointed at the gods
"That's fair," Zeus said, Hera glaring at him like so now you agree with me.
"Who is this, Elizabeth Olsen..." Calypso asked, her voice dead calm and quiet
"Well, she is an amazing actress currently living in-" Leo was cut off by Annabeth putting her hand over his mouth
Leo looked confused, and judging by the fact his eyes widened, he got the memo.
"Lets just continue" Hazel said, talking for the first time since the recorders started playing
"Before Leo embarrass himself, as usually" Piper replied, before giggling at her closest friend's misfortune
Nico grinned, he was thinking 'some things never change'
the screen flickered back to life
A giant black mountain rose, its stone as void as night and flowing magma coursed like blood. On top was a fortress similar to the one of Mount Orthys but this was much newer and more powerful. Under the mountain was a great swirl of grey, storm ready clouds which probably shrouded the fortress from... unwanted attention
The screen flew past the great fortress and zoomed into the throne room. Mahogany brown pillars of marble lined the great hall and braziers of Greek fire burnt brightly. Twelve supreme beings sat on their thrones, studying a map intensely
"We have completed our Conquest, Brethren" Alcynoeus said
Polybotes rose, "Yes the gods of Olympus have fallen and with them West Civilization" The giants slammed their weapons in approval
"Which leaves one more threat to be faced" Mimas said
Orion stared at his brother oddly, "I doubt the others are threats
Enceladus slammed his spear into the ground, " Hold your tongue, Orion remember we underestimated one group of gods once. We shouldn't do so again"
"Silence, brothers" The Giant King said, his eyes flickering from void black to pure white
He rose, "We defeated the Olympian gods, and ironically there we the most powerful. The others will be easier" His giant bronze staff flashing into his hand like lighting a flame.
"Rejoice Brethren, The final Conquest begins and then we can rule undisturbed. THE TWILIGHT OF THE GODS, THE FINAL CRUSADE BEGINS" He roared and the giants chanted in agreement.
The waves of power then swept along could be felt for miles. The wind rippled in the golden hills below. The clouds were ripped apart showing the gruesome face of an almighty monster
It had giant leathery wings and long entangled hair with the noxious smell of volcanic smoke. Its skin was mottled which clashed with its seaweed green dragon legs then the height of the Eiffel tower doubled. Its golden talon hands could hold the Yankees Stadium and the most terrifying was ... its face.
"For the love of the gods... that him isn't it" Nico said fearfully
Zeus gulped, " Your are right son of Hades, he... I mean, It is the beast"
The face was covered in clouds or mist but what was always there, were its jumbo jet-sized blazing magma eyes. It was a creature of mass destruction. The true Bane of Gods. The youngest son of Tartarus and Gaea. Typhoon, the father of monsters.
"THAT'S FUCKING TYPHOON" Leo yelled
The Stolls turned pale, even Frank started sweating.
"I soo happy, you gods had to fight that" Calypso sighed
Zeus, Apollo and Athena looked slightly murderous
"Yeah because it was difficult or TERFFIYING AT THE SAME TIME" Athena yelled
the screen changed to a different scene.
It was New York, it was silent too silent. The amount of lights was almost zero to none. Only one apartment was illuminated in inky blackness. It was the apartment of Sally Jackson. The last of the gods had taken refuge at the former hero, Perseus Jackson.
A burly god with shoulder-length coppery red hair, a bushy red beard that sizzled with lightning. His eye was electric blue but the other was covered with an eyepatch. He had bodybuilder arms and fair skin. A hammer with a head that was a trapezoidal-shaped slab of iron with runic designs swirled across the metal and a short handle bound in leather. He wore a cape which glided as if it was blowing through treacherous winds
Another deity walked behind him. He was even more odd. His skin or more accurately his scales was the colour of lush trees of a rainforest. The deity had shoulder length ebony back hair, shaped in a Egyptian style. Considering that the god was around 9 feet tall and muscular, walking through the doors was a feat to be discussed later. More oddly, he had a crocodile head and yellow eyes covered in a film of mucus. You could see the countless scars over his scales.
The last god to walk in the room was a... strange one at that. It was a wolf
"Maybe its Lupa, maybe she survived" Jason said hopeful, Frank, Hazel and Percy nodded in agreement. They really liked Lupa.
The Wolf's fur was a shaggy mess of grey with tufts of black, intelligent, cold neon-blue eyes and long muscular legs. Its white fangs were tainted with blood.
They walked into a room with three other gods standing with in front of map, studding intensely. One of the god's golden hair shone but very dimly
"Glad, you could make it here tonight," the golden haired god said in a sarcastic tone
"Apollo, we don't have time for you jokes" The crocodile headed god said
Apollo lowered his cloak and it was shocking. His golden eyes dulled to a darker shade. You could see the broken look, like he almost lost everything. He had bags under his eyes and his bronze skin had considerable paled. His hands were stained with the blood and his hair was covered with monster dust. Apollo's chest was halved covered with bandages, as he was beaten black and blue.
Everyone looked Apollo surprised, at how much the funny upbeat god of the sun had changed.
"Sorry old friends, its just been too long" Apollo said softly, looking out towards the Empire State building. Tears swelled in his eyes as he remembered the good old days.
The hammer god looked apologetically at him, "I apologise for his lack of emotion. Its been hard for us all."
"I know, I know" Apollo replied
The other deity next to Apollo sighed, "We can't dwell on the past anymore. It will hold us down"
He smiled at the deity, "When did you become a pep talker Arty"
She lowered her cloak, her eyes were longer silvery yellow, but silvery grey. His auburn hair had turned midnight black and a green scar from her forehead to cheek went down through her eye.
Artemis grinned at her brother, "That its champ, be happy again"
Apollo snorted, "Champ?" His eyes widened " Like Mom used to call me?"
Artemis; smile faded "Yeah, brother"
Apollo wiped the tears out of his eyes
"Tonight is not the time for tears, tonight we make our final stand."
"Gaea, and the her Giants can't leave the States just yet. That's our idea. If we can defend the east side of America, Gaea can't attack our allies in Europe, Asia or Africa. "
The red haired god asked, "Why not, the west side or south side or north side?"
"That's easy Thor Odinson, the west side leads into Asia and Gaea can't attack the gods in the east. They are too powerful, for now. The south side has the resurrected Aztec gods so Gaea can't take control. The North side is Canada and Alaska, its called the land beyond the gods for a reason. Greeks have no power over them. The East is the only way Gaea can get into Europe, stealing the ancient sources of our former power. Ergo we must defend New York" Apollo explained like Athena, he was proud of himself
"That checks in" the Wolf said
"Thank you, Fenrir son of Loki" Apollo said
