The Broken and the Hunted (Percy Jackson Fanfic)

chapter 18

Tartarus, 20 years after Akauma's awakening.
Tartarus P.O.V

For twenty years that demon has been rampaging through my domain tearing apart everything in its path. It doesn't seem to want anything other than death and destruction. When it attacked my brother I did nothing because it was made by my brother's foolish meddling. When it attacked all the monsters I did nothing because they were just pawns. When it attacked the titans I stood by because they did not ask for my aid. Now here it stands before me staring into my soul, it feels like.

Akuma started laughing slowly leaning backwards to face the sky. I'm not one to let an opportunity pass me by though so I dash forward with all me speed with my sword in hand. In an instant I was right in front of him. I manipulated my domain to slow it down and slashed at its throat.

I saw as if I was moving in slow motion as he moved around my blade and struck my arm easily snapping it. I started to jump back but before I moved far it dashed forward and kicked me in the stomach. I felt three of my ribs shatter as I flew through a couple walls inside my palace.

I flashed just outside the gate and summoned every monster around me just as Akuma jumped through the throne room window. I mentally called to my other siblings as well as instantly reforming all the titans and flashing them here.

"Gaia, Kronos, Nyx see if you can slow it down. Hyperion, Hemera blind it with your light see if you can burn away it's darkness. Everyone else attack it, I will instantly, and painlessly reform you if you are killed." With a roar a wave of monsters charged and crashed down on Akuma. A large beam of light shot down on him from above making it, making it flinch slightly. I focused on reforming every monster and titan that was being torn to pieces around Akuma.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw Nyx trying to take control of the shadows surrounding Akuma, I would have preferred Erebus but he is in no condition to fight. Gaia's small host was sitting far behind everyone turning the ground into hands grabbing at its legs to pull it down. Kronos shining blindingly gold, created a small golden sphere around Akuma slowing it down.

Third person P.O.V.

After 20 strait hours of fighting Tartarus was nearly out of power from reforming all those monsters so fast, Gaia's small host was past out behind everyone after a particularly draining attack that landed a blow on Akuma. The two deity's of light drained of magic were fighting on the ground amongst the other titans and giants. Wave after wave of monsters threw themselves at him, only to be torn apart by his claw like hands. Akuma could no longer use his darkness to destroy everything and the rest of the shadows were being controlled by Nyx.

Deciding to end it Tartarus stood after multiplying the power level of all the remaining beings besides Akuma. Everyone charged at once aiming to land the final blow on the demon. But to their confusion he stood relaxed and and simply lifted his arms while turning his head to the sky as if inviting the attack.

Beams of pure destructive power slammed into him from every side. Then while he was still stunned he got bashed around like a rag doll in the mob of melee attacks. What scared Tartarus was the unnerving grin on Akauma's face. Looking closer he saw that Akuma was taking no damage from the countless attacks in the slightest. When the barrage let off everyone breathing heavily Akuma merely stood up brushed dust of his shoulders and uttered a few words that stuck terror in the hearts of everyone there. "The Demons Revenge Counter."

Akuma lifted his hand in the air and started forming a massive ball of destructive energy. It kept growing larger and larger until it was the size of a mountain. Every primordal there could tell that it contained the combined power of every attack the just delivered. Suddenly it shrunk to the size of a marble in-between Akauma's fingers.

He looked at it closely before casually tossing it at the army in front of him. The explosion that followed made shock waves that were felt throughout even the underworld and Olympus itself trembled slightly causing the gods to look around confused as to what's happened. The only beings able to escape the blast was Tartarus and Akuma himself. The two stood facing eachother only a few meeters apart.

They stared at eachother knowing the other was completely out of energy. "I'm going to nap." Akuma simply stated before the shadows burnt away revealing a knocked out Percy who promptly fell forward on his face surprising the primordal.
