Olympus' Throne Room

     "Is that a large hurricane? Uncle P, you know about that?" Apollo asked, pointing off in the distance.

     Poseidon looked at where Apollo was pointing, and lo and behold, there was a huge hurricane. Much bigger than anything Poseidon has ever summoned. "That's not me."

     Zeus started to get angry. "IRIS!"

     A rainbow came in through the middle of the room, like a discount Bifrost. "Yes, my king?"

     "Show us the cause of that storm."

     She nodded, and a misty rainbow appeared showing video. Oceanus in his merman glory, and Percy in his angelic glory were fighting, sword to serpent. The hurricane surrounded them; they were caught in the eye. Water had taken an outline on Percy's back, in the shape of wings. Oceanus had some ichor dripping from his nose. Blood was dripping from the serpent, who had pain in his eyes.

     Percy swiped at Oceanus, and decapitated the serpent.

     Oceanus' eyes widened in horror. "You killed my snake!"

     Percy took the chance to lunge forward and stab the titan through the chest. Riptide erupted from the back of the titan, covered in ichor. Percy had an impassive look on his face as he stared forward to the horizon.

     Percy unsheathed the blade from the Sea deity, and wiped it off with his suit jacket. He capped it, and put it back in his backpack. Percy looked at the floating body that hadn't disintegrated yet.

     The hole on Oceanus' chest closed up, and he opened his eyes. He got to his- well not his feet, so his tail, fin? I don't know, he got to whatever you would call it. He looked at Percy happily.

     "You thought you could kill me, in my home turf?!"

     "Okay, in hindsight, that does seem rather stupid of me." Percy said.

     Oceanus charged, but Percy flipped over him. He used some of the wind from the hurricane to blast the eldest titan onto the beach. Percy stepped onto the sand while adjusting his surgeon cuffs.

     Oceanus rose... well, actually, he tried to. But as soon as he got up, he fell back over. His tail split into 2, then morphed into legs. He stood, a little shakily, but he was on 2 feet.

     Percy had a smile the whole time as he watched Oceanus struggle. But soon the morning sun was covered, and the ground had a weird pattern.

     Behind Percy was a tsunami, about 2,000 feet tall. (609.6 m). It towered over the tallest tsunami ever recorded, which was only 1,700 feet. (534 m). It spanned the entire coastline, looking to destroy, at the very least, the entirety of Jersey shore.

     "The punk is going to get it now!" Ares said with glee.

     Percy just held his hand up, still facing Oceanus. The tsunami paused in its tracks. The water was so still, it looked like it was frozen in time. All hope fell from Oceanus' face. The tsunami lowered itself back to a normal wave height.

     Oceanus replaced the lack of hope with anger. He charged, only to get punched in the nose. More ichor fell from it, staining Percy's suit. Percy kneed one of Oceanus' new legs, bringing him to a kneeling position.

     Oceanus looked up at Percy, who's eyes were glowing red. Percy placed his hands on the sides of Oceanus' face, before violently twisting his head to the right. Oceanus fell on the sand, dead. This time he did turn to golden dust.
