The Gods threw their weapons straight at Tartarus, barely shaking him as the darkness continued to infiltrate through the white clouds.
"What about the Titans? Are they fully formed yet?" Hecate asked, obviously having a much closer hold on her wits than I did.
"It seems they have not, but they will regenerate soon if we don't put Tartarus back down. This could be the end of entire universe if we do not succeed." Artemis explained as we marched down the bridge in front of the other Olympians hurrying to Earth.
I gazed upwards as we reached Mount Olympus with it's caved in roof. I tugged at my necklace. My renewed and updated silver armour blossomed from it, hugging my entire body from my arms to my legs. From it a lilac skirt-like material flourished to my mid-thigh and the same colour accented across the rest of my amour. My weightless, adamantine sword sat in it's scabbard and my silver bow hooked onto my lilac quiver.
"It won't be easy to make him dormant again, will it?" I said, fear coursing through my body.
"No, not in the slightest." She huffed, bringing her bow to anchor point.
I grabbed my bow off my back and knocked in an arrow while feeling incredibly overwhelmed by looking at the Gods around me try to bring down Tartarus.
"What is the plan? We must take him down before he reaches full power," Zeus thundered, landing beside us all after launching a sword at it.
"We retaliate with everything that we can muster. One after another, we take him on. Each one of us using our own strengths," said Athena, her hard eyes glinting.
"We must do so now," said Hermes as Tartarus had almost reached the heavens.
Zeus stepped forward, facing the great mass of darkness.
"What do you want with our realm?" He shouted up at Tartarus.
His glowing purple eyes shot down to him and a horrific boom of laughter penetrated my mind. "What do I want? You Olympians have kept me dormant for all of eternity. You have forced me to become a mere wasteland where the damned are exiled. I have become nothing but a pit of perpetual punishment. I am a primal deity! Soon enough the Titans shall rise and we shall bring destruction across the universe!"
At that moment, Zeus rubbed the palms of his hands together, creating sparks of electricity then drew them apart to form a lightening bolt. I involuntarily stumbled backwards at the very back of the group as he launched up into the air and struck Tartarus with his electric energy. The purple streams intertwined with blue lightening as Zeus dropped back to the ground.
"Now!" Zeus yelled to Poseidon who launched high into the air, just like his brother.
I watched with bewilderment as Zeus' lightening seemed to glow a dazzling neon and join with the purple energy, creating an even brighter light. Tartarus grew out from the white clouds and rose his great, dark limbs above his head as Poseidon approached him.
