Olympus Throne Room, three days after the war

The eleven Olympians sat on their thrones as they contemplate the recent war that ended only 72 hours ago, thinks to Percy Jackson. Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Demeter, Hephaestus, Hermes, Apollo, Artemis, Athena, Aphrodite, Dionysus, and the unofficial Olympians Hades and Hestia felt there ages weight heavily upon, the children of Kronos more so given in there four thousand year lives.

In the middle of the throne room, in celestial bronze shackles that zapped his powers, the traitor God of War stood before the council with a sneer on his face.

"Ares" Zeus' usual rumbling vioce was heavy subdued."Why? Why betrayus for the Titans?"

Ares chuckled amused that they even had to ask why he betrayed them "As the mortal saying goes, the first thing to go to old age is the mind" He mocked with a laughter at his father not knowing his reason for his betrayal given it were so obvious.

"This isn't a laughing matter Ares!" the sky lord thundered! "You betrayed us! Your father, mother, aunts, uncles, brothers, and sisters for the Chaos-forsaken Titans! You betrayed all of Olympus and you laugh!"

Ares chuckled even more due to his father's trade. "Yeah pretty much." He said with a shrug getting glares from his so-called family. "Fine if it well let you sleep at night than I'll give ya a reason. The reason is that I wanted to do what I do best, cause wars and enjoy the carnage. But I couldn't due to the damned Ancient Laws restricting me. So I wanted to take your place pop's since as the new Lord of Olympus, I could do so, but even that wasn't enough for me. Ares began smirking cocksurely. "Than after you turn your bitch daughter into a tree, Kronos came to me in a 'dream' and gave me his offer: become one of his loyal general, in return I help him rise, throw you fools in Tartarus, become the Titan Lord of War and wage all the wars I can handle." Ares explain before smirking.

"The plan was for the Big three to go into a civil war with each other. Yeah pops I helped in stealing your precious toy lighting bolt and Hades 'hat of fear'". The two elder gods seethed at Ares for insulting their symbol of power. "When you sent out the lesbian slut Artemis, the owl bitch Athena, and 'Mr.-I'm-so-fast-I'm-finish-in-three-seconds' Hermes." Ares said smirking at the enraged looks from the aforementioned gods." I had to act fast because I knew that those three would find Luke and the plan would be ruined. Before hand, I gave Luke an untraceable phone that could be used to contact me it sends out a signal that was tuned to my divine power energy signature, allowing me to get to him first. I kept the two power symbols well teleporting Luke away and waited like Kronos instructed." He said before turning to Poseidon. "Kronos told me to wait until another hero could be used to make the delivery, and it happened when Hades attacked your son for his perceived sights against him and for you breaking your oath. When Percy got to camp, Luke struck by summing the Hellhound which led to Percy getting a quest to find and retrieve the Master Bolt." He told the seething Sea God.

"As the quest progressed, I waited until the right time, approaching him when he was on his leg." He smirked before turning to Aphrodite. "My 'date' with you was planned, so I could get Percy to do me a favor and i 'repay' him for it." He said to an angry and betrayed Love Goddess. "I gave him the modified sheath of the Master Bolt that would call the bolt when in the Underworld and near Hades' presence."

"Hades would kill the boy for the perceived theft of his helm, getting Poseidon to declare war on Hades for the death of his son, and I would declare war on Hades due to my perceiving his stealing of my Master Bolt." Zeus said with a pale face along with his brothers. They had been so close to a civil war, a war that planned their father, and thwarted only because of his nephew Perseus.

"Exactly." Ares chuckled "With an Olympian civil war, Olympus would be divided thus making things easier for the Titans. They would wait in the shadows, secretly recruiting both mortals and demi-gods to their cause and manipulating the events to paint themselves to being as noble and selfless compared to the Olympians 'The Olympians are selfish, greedy, and power hungry. See how easy they fight and wage war with each other. See how they use and abuse human and even their own children simply because they can and for their entertainment. Join us, the Titans, and we'll usher in another Golden Age; no war, no pain, and suffering. Just peace and tranquility for all. ' As you weaken yourself, the Titans well grow stronger and stronger and when strong enough they would strike. Nice, clean, and easy." Ares explained to the ashed face gods. They were realizing just how methodical Kronos had been his planning of vengeance against them. If not for Percy they would be in Tartarus, suffering ungodly punishment, while the Titans ran the world. "As the Titan Lord of War the world would be my playground; humans slaughtering themselves for my entertainment. I would sit back and watch as men, women, and children debase to levels that would sicken monster, becoming monsters themselves just to survive my little games." He explain dreamily. "It would had been glorious had Barnacle Beard's little cock puppet not interfered and cost the Titans the war." Ares said with a snarl as he thought of the Sea spawn. Poseidon gave his nephew an enraged glare at the insult to himself and his son.
