I woke up the next morning and I had went and got all the guys. I told them that I needed them to gather everyone inside the building we had the party in for a announcement. Once this was accomplished I walked on the stage.
"Good morning everyone." I said. "Sorry to interrupt if you were doing anything but I have excellent news! We are allied now with a kingdom called New Italy. So effective immediately I want Charles to begin building a way to travel back and forth between there because it is quite the hike and we will begin making defenses together. That is all Id like to tell you. Now my good friend Connor would you come up here?"
About 300 people sat up so I decided to narrow it down. "The Connor that led me to the kingdom." Everyone else sat down and Connor walked on stage. "Now everyone knows Connor. He was the first civilian besides myself and the other um lets say primadorials. Why not? Anyways he was the one who showed me to the kingdom. This man has survival skills and wits that out do all of you, not to be rude. He goes out alone on missions and comes home safe and without a scratch. For his skills and helping me find the kingdom I promote you to head of our defenses. Your the commander, besides the primordials, of this army."
Everyone got up and clapped. "This meeting is now disbanded. I myself will be going to the other kingdom with my all the primordials except for Cayden. You my friend will be holding down the fort in case something happens. Everyone else with me." I said as I opened a black hole to travel through.
Charles and Matthew went through the black hole and I was waiting for Wyatt to come. "Caleb I'll be there soon. I'm gonna grab all my weapons and stuff."
"Wyatt you don't know the way." I said.
"I'm in not there in a hour than come back and get me." He said. "I wanna try something."
"Ok fine." I said. I walked through the black hole and was back in the other kingdom.
"Caleb I forgot my armor and stuff." Matthew said when I came through. The black hole closed behind me.
"I can try to have the shadows bring them." I said. "Or I could open another black hole."
"I need mine too." Charles said.
"Black hole it is then." I said. I focused and made two black holes for them to go through. "Charles one on the left it is your house, Matthew one on the right is yours. Hurry up or it'll close and I'll be pretty well spent."
They jumped through the black holes. This was using so much energy that I was about to pass out. Augustus walked in and saw me and ran over.
"What are you doing?" He said. Then he saw the strain look on my face and only afterwards did I find out my face was ghost white. "You need to close these before you kill yourself."
"Just another couple seconds.." I said barely. Matthew jumped through and Charles a second after. They saw me and ran over. "And close." The black holes closed.
I went to take a step forward and collapsed. Matthew and Augustus caught me before I hit the ground. They helped me over to a chair.
"Medic! I need potions now!" Augustus yelled. A couple minutes later a few doctors came in with potions. They gave me strength and healing and in a few minutes I could stand again.
"Thanks Augustus." I said. "Augustus this is Charles and Matthew. These are two of the men who are destined to defeat the Titans with me."
"Nice to meet you both." He said.
"Another one of us is on his way." I said. "Charles I want you to start working on weapons for them here. Augustus get him your best tech guys."
"Jack and Maxwell than." He said. He turned to a guard. "Escort him to the labs and get Jack and Maxwell to help him."
"Sir yes sir." The guard said as him and Charles went off.
"Augustus is there a place for us to stay?" I said.
"Yeah. Couple grand rooms in this castle." He said. "I'll show them to you later."
"Thanks." I said. "There's a crazy idea I want to try as well."
"What is it?" He asked.
"I want to try and connect our cities underground." I said.
"Caleb that's crazy." Matthew said. "It take years."
"Not if we use the project I had Charles build." I said.
He paused for a second. I had Charles build a drill that would mine away vast areas of rock and minerals. "It could work." He said finally. "Augustus do you have a mine here?"
"Yeah. It's giant. Why?" Augustus said.
"We have a giant drill that will mine away vast areas of stone and minerals that we could use to make a tunnel underneath the ground to connect the cities. We just need access to your mine."
"I'll tell Charles to start building another one." I said. Matthew nodded than headed out. "Now I want to show you some weapons we have." I summoned all my guns and weapons from the shadows.
"You have guns?" He said.
"Yes. And turrets and Ballistas." I said.
"None of us ever though of using guns or any of that. Or mixing metals to create stronger ones." He said.
"We will teach you and equip you." I said. "It'll just take some time." Than I heard a explosion. We both looked up.
A guard ran in the room. "The gates are under attack!" He yelled.
"Get all forces out there!" Augustus yelled. "Get Jerome and Pluto on the front lines!"
"Sir yes sir!" The guard yelled and ran off.
I grabbed my guns and scythes. I threw Augustus the shotgun. "See you on the front lines!" I yelled as I jumped out the nearest window.
I willed my wings to come out and flew towards the gates. The army of mobs was the largest I've ever seen. It looked to be 90,000 strong. I grabbed my pistol out and flew to the front lines. I went into a nosedive and got rid of my wings. I turned into a roll as I hit the ground. I hit the ground in a somersault and when I came up I drew my pistol and shot the closest 12 zombies in the head.
I put my pistol on my side and grabbed my assault rifle. I laid down a line of fire and dropped another 60 mobs. My clip ran out and I grabbed my scythes instead. Next thing I knew Matthew was at my side with his trident. Next to him was Augustus, Charles, Jerome, Pluto and all the other leaders, all with they're weapons drawn.
"Primordials come out!" A voice bellowed from the mobs. A four block tall monster that looked like a Minotaur, clad in diamond armor, came out. He had a sword that was blood red and black. "If you sacrifice yourselves the others may live."
I gave Mathew and Charles a look. All three of us walked forward. The monster seemed to laugh.
"I knew you would give yourselves up." The monster laughed. "Your kingdom will burn because of this!"
"You said-" I said before he cut me off.
"You believed that?!" The Minotaur laughed. "Your warriors will be killed! Your women will be slaves and-" That was all he said before I swung my scythes and split his body into six different pieces.
"No one will hurt my family!" I yelled. "Charge!!" I yelled as we all ran into the other army.
Everything went to chaos. Matthew jumped onto a zombie and jabbed his trident into its chest. Than he got up and started fighting like he was actually Poseidon. He twirled, jab and slash with that trident like he was Poseidon in Immortals. Last image I saw of him was him jabbing the middle prong of his trident into a zombies neck, spinning the trident so it took off the zombies head and than thrusting the butt of the trident into the head than kick the trident up so the head flew up and hit another mob in the face before he brought the trident down with so much force it crushed the mobs skull.
Charles was blasting with one hand and slashing with his armblade with the other. A zombie went to stab him and he blocked the strike and blasted the zombies head off. He kept fighting and taking down mobs but I lost sight of him in the chaos.
I found myself back to back with Augustus. He was fighting with the sword that the Minotaur had. He must've picked it up in the fight after his broke, since in his other hand was a sword with a a broken blade. We cut through wave after wave of mob but we were being over run. The wounded were being dragged into the city while we held a last offense.
Matthew sent in wave after wave of icicle shards but it was only prolonging our defeat. Charles had been wounded but was still blasting as he was dragged to the gates. I flew into the air and decided to do the only thing I could I saw that they still had another 2000 in they're army. We did a good job so far but I had to make sure it was ended. I used the last of my energy to have the shadows consume as many as possible.
The army seemed to be only be missing 1000 mobs. I was able to glide down on my wings before I collapsed behind the gate. I was blacking out when a thing on lightning hit the battle field and someone stepped out of the crater and threw a spear. Wyatt!
The army attacked in full force, renewed in energy. We seemed to be winning before everything went black.
***********************************
I woke up in the infirmary. I realized I had been injured worse than I thought. I had cuts and gouges all over. A doctor came in.
"Mr. Boomer it's good to see your awake." He said.
"Mr. Boomer is my father." I said. "And we won?"
"Yes. Your friend seemed with the lightning helped with that." He said. "When he appeared the army has renewed hope and we fought back."
"Hit me with more health and strength potions and I'll be fine." I said. "I know from experience. I went toe to toe with Erebus."
The doctor looked surprised. "Of course." He said. He handed me the potions and I was out of there in 10 minutes.
Many had died during the battle. Charles, Matthew and the leaders were all still alive. That was good cause the people needed heroes to look up to. I shadow traveled to my house and collapsed in my bed. We won though.
