"Oh shit." Derek said. "Hey if we want to beat him we do what we do best, we improvise." I said. "Fools, you will all bow before the might of Kronos!" Kronos said. He stomped his foot on the ground and caused a small earthquake and knocked Kayla and Marcus unconscious. "Come on, let's go!" I said. We charged at Kronos, weapons drawn and attacked all over his body. Kronos kicked Trevor and Sarah into a wall and knocked them out. It all came down to Jason, Derek, Kevin, and I. "Let's do it for Phil." I said. Kevin ran around Kronos creating a vortex, Derek threw frozen water chunks, Jason threw as many Master Bolts as he could, and I fired every fire bolt I could. He backhanded Kevin and he went flying towards Kayla and Marcus. "All right, it's up to us." I said. "Let's kick this prick's ass!" Derek said with confidence. We ran to Kronos and slashed all over his legs to bring him closer to the ground. "The bigger they are, the harder they fall." Jason said. We kept jumping in the air and slashing Kronos in the upper body. Suddenly a spear disarmed me, Damon woke up and attacked us. He drop kicked Derek and hip tossed Jason. Then he backflip kicked me onto the ground. "Lord Kronos, I'm your grandson Damon, son of Hades, I helped in resurrecting you." Damon said. "Ah yes, the spawn of Hades, Hades was always my least favourite." Kronos said as he grabbed Damon and threw him through a mountain. "That'll hurt in the morning." Derek said. "Come on we can do this guys." Jason said. "We could really use Herc right about now." Derek said. "Well he's out cold so that means we're on our own." I said. "Jason keep throwing bolts, Derek, let's take the fight to him!" I said. "Now we're talking." Derek said. We attacked while Jason stayed and attacked from a distance. Derek slashed his knees while I attacked the chest and arms. Kronos grabbed me and started to squeeze my body and crush me, I screamed in pain. When I thought I was done for, Hercules chopped off Kronos' hand and it flew back into the casket that held his remains. "Thank you Hercules." I said. "Now I've found redemption, so I thank you for helping me find it." Hercules said. We shook hands and stood together to stand against Kronos. "Oh this isn't over if I have anything to say about it." Hades said. "Hercules, Hades took control of Zeus' mind and banished you right?" I asked. "Yes this is true." Hercules replied. "He's all yours Herc." I said. Hercules ran towards Hades and Hades drew his greatsword Apocalypse and their swords clashed. Meanwhile we continued to fight Kronos, when suddenly we saw everyone waking up to stand beside us. "We started this as a family." Kayla said. "And we're going to finish this as a family." Marcus said. We all charged at Kronos and led an all out assault on Kronos. Kayla and Trevor shot arrows, while Jason and Marcus launched lighting bolts, Derek, Sarah, Kevin and I broke him down and stopped him from moving or fighting back. Sarah sliced off his legs at the knees, Kevin used every ounce of speed he had left to attacked every bit of Kronos' body while Derek and I sliced off his arms. Finally all of us started to slice Kronos' throat. "Remember the Fates said you must finish him." Jason said to me. "Go, do if for your mom Nathan." Kayla said. I ran and finished him with The Nine Circles of Hell, after the six hundred and sixty-six hits Kronos' body bursts into pieces and his remains flew back into the casket where he laid. Hercules blocked Hades' sword and disarmed him. "It's over, you've lost Hades, now where's my mom?" I said. "You think I'm afraid of you? I'm the lord of the dead, what do you have frighten me?" Hades said. "I just killed Kronos." I said. "Now where is my mother?" I said. "She's kept in the River of Souls, with all the other dead guys." Hades said. "Let's go, let this piece of shit rot here." I said. We went back to the River of Souls to get my mom back. "Nathan I think I see her." Jason said. "Alright I'm going in." I replied. "Are you nuts, that'll kill you before you make it to her." Derek said. "Where's your faith in me?" I said while smirking. I jumped into the River of Souls and swam towards my mother's soul. As I swam deeper down the River I saw my skin start to wrinkle, I was dying. As I swam further down the River I grew weaker. Finally I reached my mother and her hand touched mine, suddenly I started to glow, a bright aura covered my body and I flew out of the River and back to the surface. "This impossible, you can't be alive you'd have to be..." Hades said. "Immortal?" I asked. "But you're half-human." Hades said. "You're wrong Hades, my mother is a Demi-God." I said. I freed my mother's soul and it returned to her body. "Hey Nathan." My mom said. "Hi mom." I said while slowly crying. "Oh my how you've grownup kiddo." My mom said. "Yeah I have." I said. "I haven't seen you since you were just a baby." My mom said. "You can thank him for that!" I said angrily. "What do you mean?" My mom asked. "He's the one who sent that Minotaur after us." I said. "Well Nathan what happened, happened okay? You have to move on." My mom said. "What do you guys say we go home?" I said. "Now you're speaking my language." Marcus said. "Wait, I'm coming with you." Damon said. "Wait what, you tried to kill us now you want to join us?" Jason said. "Kronos betrayed me which means Hades betrayed me, so I'm coming with you." Damon said. "All right, the more the merrier." Derek said. "There's always room for family." I said. "I don't think your plan will work like you want." Hades said. "What do you mean?" Kayla asked. "Sandra can't leave the Underworld, she's already dead." Hades said. "You're telling me I came all this way to save my mom who can't leave?" I asked. "That's sound dumber when you say it." Hades said while laughing. Marcus punched Hades in the jaw and knocked him out. "Man that guys annoying." Marcus said. "Go Nathan I can handle Hades." My mom said. "No I'm not leaving without you, I lost you once already." I replied. "I'm never lost as long as you remember me." she said. "Goodbye mom." I said. "Goodbye Nathan." My mom said. We left the Underworld and arrived back at the bottom of the Brooklyn Bridge. "Back home Nathan?" Sarah asked. "Yeah." I said. We walked back to the top of the bridge when suddenly a beam of light surrounded all of us and we were lifted into the sky. When we stopped moving we found that we had arrived at Olympus, but who summoned us?
