Chapter 1: A New God of War
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The Second Titanomachy (Second Titan War) had ended, with victory going to the Olympians yet the price of victory was higher than any the Olympians had or were willing to pay. Numerous demigods, those who felt betrayed and abandoned their godly parents and those who remained loyal, had died in the battle. The Olympians faced betrayals not just from their own children, but from their fellow gods. Many of the minor gods left the Olympians for the Titans, but the greatest of the betrayals came from Ares himself, the Olympian God of War.
Ares has always desired to overthrow his father Zeus and rule as Lord of Olympus, ensuring he could wage as many wars to his heart's content. He was approached by the spirit of his grandfather Kronos, the Titan of Time and Titan Lord, with an offer: join him as his general, help him overthrow the Olympians and he would make him [Ares] the Titan Lord of War (and replacing the traitor Pallas as Titan of Warcraft) and allow him [Ares] to wage as many wars amongst the mortals as he [Ares] wanted. Ares' lust for war and bloodshed has always been insatiable, so he could not pass up the offer to be a Titan Lord and make as many wars as godly as possible.
The year before the war actually started, Ares and his children, both immortal and mortal, betrayed Olympus. He also turned on his long-time 'girlfriend' Aphrodite, brutally humiliating her all the while laughing and revealing he was just using her for sex and enjoyed how he was hurting Hephaestus by seducing the woman who was supposed to be his wife. Next he targeted Camp Half-Blood, his children there attacking their friends, comrades and even lovers, killing some and injuring many more.
With the gods weakened and Typhon freed, it looked grim, but one demigod would not stand for it. He rose to the forefront, leading the remaining demigod forces loyal to Olympus to into battle and later victory. This demigod's name is Perseus "Percy" Jackson - son of Poseidon and the mortal Sally Jackson, Savior and Champion of Olympus and Bane of Titans.
Percy had faced many trials and tribulations during the years leading up to the Second Titan War: at age twelve he retrieved the stolen Master Bolt of Zeus, stopping a civil war between the Olympians and revealed Luke Castellan as a traitor; at age thirteen he retrieved the long lost Golden Fleece and cured Thalia's Tree while reviving his cousin Thalia Grace; at age fourteen saved Artemis from the burden of the Sky by forcing Atlas back under it; at age fifteen he safely navigated the Labyrinth of Death, defeated the Titan Lord of the West and Titan of Mortality Iapetus and the Giant Antaeus- son of Gaia and Poseidon, defeated the strongest and most powerful of all monsters Kampê during the Battle of Camp Half-Blood; and at age sixteen led the remaining loyal demigods and Hunters of Artemis against Kronos' forces in what would be named the Battle of Manhattan. During the battle, Percy fought and defeated many powerful foes; Hyperion - Titan Lord of the East and Titan of Light and Perses - Titan of Destruction; the God of War himself Ares along with his children; and finally the Titan Lord himself Kronos.
Percy was a storm of destruction and death, every enemy before him was rent unto death; from monsters, the traitor gods and demigods, and the Titans under Kronos' command. During the first day of the three days of the Battle of Manhattan, Percy faced both Phobos the God of Fear and his brother Deimos the God of Terror/Dread, easily defeating the two and sending them straight to Tartarus. During the second day, Percy faced the Titan Lord of the East Hyperion and the Titan of Destruction Perses. Despite the two-on-one advantage and their massive powers as the most powerful in the Titan Pantheon, Percy overcame the titan duo and sent them back to Tartarus.
On the third and final day, Percy faced both Ares and Kronos, but not before dealing with the distractions known as Clarisse and her siblings. Despite receiving her father's blessing, Clarisse was no match of for the man responsible for the defeat of several of the most powerful of titans.
With Clarisse and her siblings dealt with, Percy barely managed to make it in time to stop Ares and Kronos from destroying the thrones of the gods. Ares was ridiculously easy to beat, being downed in 3.5 seconds, and yes the Titan of Time counted how long it would take Ares to fail.
That left Kronos, using the body of Luke Castellan as his host until he reached his true power and returned to his true Titan form, fought Percy with the fate of the world on the line. The battle was fast paced and furious; the two were evenly matched much to Kronos' chagrin. Kronos' anger mounted as Percy proved strong enough to break free of his time spells right immediately after Kronos casted them. Soon Percy gained the advantage when Annabeth managed to bring back Luke's conscience due to her pleas throughout the fight and being injured by his hands. Luke, shocked that he hurt his beloved Annabeth, allowed Percy to strike the fatal blow; hitting his Achilles Spot.
Percy did so by controlling the liquids in Luke's body, gaining control of his body. Lifting Luke's left arm and removing his armor, Percy stabbed him an inch below his arm pit. As Kronos was forced back to Tartarus, his Titan essence dispersed so thin to the point of fading, Luke asked how Percy knew his Achilles Spot.
Percy smirked before saying; "Common sense. To protect yourself, and by proxy Kronos, you chose one of the least likely spots on the human body to be targeted during combat."
Smiling as blood escaped his lips, Luke apologized for his actions and to Annabeth for hurting her the way he did. Annabeth cried as she cradled her dying love, giving him the kiss she always wanted to give him. Luke Castellan - son of Hermes and May Callastan died with a smile on his face, even as the Olympians stormed the room to see Annabeth crying over Luke's dead body, Grover looking morose, the still unconscious traitor God of War and Percy standing triumphant above all.
