Perseus was worried. He was alone with his mother and his father who by the way was in a really bad mood. Fortunately he was currently knocked out. He now had to send a message through one titan who may be going to fight against him, to another titan who may be against him.

He through a gold coin in the air. It landed in a pool of water. "Iris can I send a message to Hecate."

After a minute of held breath the face of Hecate was shown in the pool.

"Hello Perseus." She said expressionless.

Perseus gave her a nod and said, "I need a favour." Hecate nodded gesturing for him to go on. "One which will make an immortal throw up."

Hecate gave him a wry smile. "Are you by chance going to feed this potion to your dear father?"

Perseus stared right at her across the message. He sighed "Yes."

Hecate smiled brighter, "Well then, I shall be right with you."

Perseus waited for Hecate. Iris would tell her where he was so there was no need to tell her. He was half expecting for Hecate to burst into the cave with half the titan council in tow behind her.

"Perseus calm down." Rhea called from across the cave. "Hecate is a good person, she knows that we are in the right here."

As if on cue the Titan of magic walked in through the entrance to the cave.

"Hello Perseus, Rhea." She said acknowledging the two of them.

"Thank you for coming Hecate. Do you have the potion?"

She nodded, "where is he?"

Hesitantly Perseus led her over to the back of the cave where the king of the titans was tied to the wall of the cave with earthen restraints.

Hecate walked up to him procuring a small bottle of clear liquid as she got close.

Kronos glared at her and his son he yelled something that was muffled by the gag over his mouth. The gag disappeared as Hecate pinched his nose.

Kronos opened his mouth to shout at them and Hecate poured the potion down his throat.

She turned back to Perseus. "It is done."

Hecate joined Perseus, Rhea and the now grown up children of Kronos away from Crete. Perseus had the chance to kill his father. He couldn't and he left him there in the hopes that he would eventually come to reason.

As they went the group of newly named gods collected allies from both the ranks of titans and also from the other 'monsters' such as the hundred handed ones.

Along the way each of the four brothers had weapons made for them. Zeus a master bolt, Poseidon his Trident, Hades a helm and Perseus was given another sword made the same way as his father's scythe.

The gods grew in power until they were confident that they could defeat their predecessors.

The gods and their titan allies marched into the Throne room of Othrys. Waiting for them was Atlas, Perses, Krios, Iapetus, Kronos. The four brothers leading the march turned around to see their allies embroiled in a fight with the other titans. However Oceanus was nowhere to be found.

Zeus pointed his bolt straight at their father and charged, the other three brothers almost let him go alone in their shock.

The youngest of the four had gone to challenge the most powerful titan.

Poseidon was the first to react as he charged after Krios. Hades followed making a move after Iapetus. Perseus just waited, he knew both Atlas and Perses would be after him.

He watched as his youngest brother fired bolt after bolt at their father with very little success.

He had his old sword out ready to fight. It was always good to keep a weapon in reserve for a surprise.

As expected Atlas was the first to attack Perseus striking at his head with his javelin. Perseus ducked underneath it and met Perses' strike at his knees.

The three of them exchanged blows for a minute with Perseus not looking to be breaking a sweat. He kicked Perses in the chest and held his sword to Atlas' throat. "Give up my friend, you could never defeat me." Atlas froze and looked to be considering the deal.

Perses charged right back at Perseus and Atlas broke out of his stupor. He knocked the sword from his throat and Perseus drew his new symbol of power. The two titans looked at the sword in shock. It looked simple but they could feel the power radiating off of it.

Perseus readied both swords, "Come on, if you think you're hard enough."

Both of them looked wary and they were about to back off. A bright light shone from behind them. They had to shield their eyes.

When they opened them Hyperion was standing there with Rhea in his hand.

"Well Perseus do you give up?"

Perseus looked at his mother in despair. He looked around the room to see his three brothers looked in combat. Well except Zeus who seemed to be being played with by Kronos.

"Too slow." And with that Hyperion stabbed his sister through the chest with his spear.

Perseus' eyes lit up as golden suns. All three of the Titans were frozen in place. Koios and Iapetus were also frozen with their two opponents looking at Perseus in shock. Even Kronos was frozen in time, his own domain being used against him. Perseus stalked towards Hyperion who collapsed to the floor with the dust of his sister still on his body.

He looked up at his nephew in fear.

"Do you know what my father's scythe feels like?" Perseus asked slowly.

Hyperion shook his head.

Perseus shook his head and reached out his hand. Much to the shock of everyone in the room Kronos' scythe flew out of its master's hand and into Perseus'.

His old sword discarded on the floor he held the two most powerful weapons in the world in his hands. "His Scythe is meant to rip your soul clean from your body. One cut is meant to kill a mortal." Perseus said sadistically. His face turned to a smile, "My sword does that too."

With that he lopped off his head with both his weapons. Hyperion fading from existence. Perseus watched as a bright white ball of light rose up and entered his chest. He turned around to his shocked audience. He clicked his fingers and Perses and Atlas were unfrozen. They however made no effort to attack their one time friend. Perseus nodded to his three brothers and walked up to his father. Both Iapetus and Koios were unfrozen and dispatched by Poseidon and Hades.

Perseus gestured for Zeus to move aside.

"I like your scythe father, much better as a sword though." The ten foot weapon shrunk down to a hand and a half sword. "I am sorry that it came to this father but you are no longer the man who raised me."

He paused briefly, "I hope that you can find mother in Tartarus, I hope that she smacks some sense into you."

With that Perseus drove his sword into his father chest. He burst into dust like Rhea. Perseus turned back to his siblings who looked at him with a mixture of shock and awe.

"Shall we dear brothers?" Perseus asked gesturing to where the rest of the fight was.

A/N I enjoyed this chapter. I do not think that is was that good though. I am not going to be releasing a new chapter for a while so I may do another story next. I know where I want to go next for both a journey through Kalos and the apprentice. I just need to put pen to paper, or in this case finger to keys.

Thanks for reading and this is HCS signing off.
