The Incoming Hero

The Battle to Change It All

Wherever he looked, he saw his fellow demigods fighting monsters within an inch of their lives. Gold dust and blood were the most common sight amongst the battlefield with demigod corpses scattered here and there. It looked about even with the Romans fighting on the left side of the battlefield and the Greeks fighting on the right. Some were even mixed together to form an unbreakable wall. Both sides united against a common enemy.

Percy was panting and covered in blood and sweat. The seven, Nico, and Thalia fought through the monsters to reach the Giants so they could finish them off with the help of the gods. They looked to each other and each gave a nod before separating to help their parent.

Percy ran over to his father, Poseidon, and yelled up to him, "You haven't killed him yet!?!" He smiled to himself as his sweating father flashed to his side. It was funny how similar they looked with their uncontrollable black hair and sea green eyes. Each having an unrestrained personality that couldn't be contained.

Poseidon smiled tiredly at his son and said, "Took you long enough to get here. I guess you're losing your touch." They both rolled to the side as Polybotes tried to impale them on his trident. They were instantly back on their feet and charged.

Percy said, "Touché" before dodging a swipe and slicing Polybotes Achilles tendon. Polybotes was able to move his foot quick enough to not do severe damage but it still cut deeply. While he was distracted, Poseidon was able to stab his trident into his leg before quickly jumping back, barely dodging the incoming trident.

"Dad, give me some water. I have a plan." Percy said. Poseidon didn't see how water could help them since Polybotes wouldn't be affected but he knew to just trust his son. Poseidon slammed his trident into the ground shaking the earth a little with the power behind it. Water seeped through the cracks and Percy summoned it to gather around him.

Polybotes just laughed and said, "No matter how strong your water attack is, it won't affect me. Just give up now and let's get this over with!" Percy just rolled his eyes and thought about how many times someone had told him to give up because he couldn't win. He had educated many people on how to do impossible things during those fights with the way Percy fought.

After gather enough water, he said, "Thanks dad. Now let's finish this!" Poseidon pulled his weapon out of the ground as Percy got into a ready stance with the water still swirling around him. Now, there was a big difference between a titan and a demigod other than just power. Titans were much, much bigger than a mortal and even slightly bigger than a god. Thus creating a little height difference.

Percy and his father charged at Polybotes while Polybotes just laughed and got into a ready stance. Percy used the water around him to create an ice slide that raised him off the ground. Polybotes wasn't expecting a high attack and had to shift his stance to accommodate. However, with all his focus on Percy's attack, he forgot about the other being he was fighting.

Poseidon swiped his trident at the giant's feet knocking him to the ground as Percy jumped off his ramp and stabbed Riptide into the giants the heart, creating a small earthquake as the heavy being fell. Poseidon quickly flashed beside Percy and stabbed his trident right next to Percy's sword. Polybotes stared up in surprise at the two before he started to crumble into dust. He was only able to give one last look of pure hatred before disappearing.

They both gave each other a nod of thanks and surveyed the battlefield. They were the first ones done but it looked like Porphyrion and Mimas were being overwhelmed with Zeus and Hephaestus being helped by their children. Percy yelled to his father, "I'll go help Annabeth and Athena. You go help Ares and then tell him to help Artemis and Apollo. They need a solely close range fighter to beat Orion."
