Perseus's POV:

Look I gave control over the Nyx mansion thing to Thalia because one she'd be quick and two she wouldn't see anything. I kept my eyes open and guided us through and the only thing I have to say about her interior design choice is why did she choose Akhlys to design the inside. Everything there just extruded misery in scenes so horrible I can't even put words to them, and I killed a guy by shoving his own severed member down his throat.

However let's see where did Thalia leave off. Oh yes the titan and giant riding down the hill on a drakon. Well that's Iapetus and Damasen.

When they got to us Iapetus hugged us happy we made it. "You survived the night" He said happily like we'd actually have a chance at making it not seeing the army of literal hundreds of thousands out there between us and the doors. Not to mention that two of his brothers are there. And one of them knows he's a traitor if the bright light is anything to go by.

"Uhhh Iapetus we have other problems" Damasen said.

Iapetus looked out over everything before us. "Oh. Yeah. This won't be easy"

"So what now" Damasen asked

Thalia and I shared a look. "Why do I have a feeling I'm going to hate this" Annabeth asked

"Well it's that or we fight til we drop dead" Thalia said

"Ugh fine but make it quiet" Annabeth said and turned around.

"What is she" Iapetus started to ask.

I say started because he stopped at the golden dust mushroom cloud that just appeared out of nowhere. Totally didn't use my powers along with Thalia to insta kill like four hundred thousand monsters of various types all at once. No that would be too cruel. But the golden dust mushroom cloud also coincidentally eliminated everyone but Hyperion and his brother that were present.

"Is it over yet" Annabeth asked as the dust was still falling

"Uhhhhh I mean if you don't count the falling monster dust yeah" Damasen said shocked looking at Thalia and me.

"WHO DID THAT" shouted Hyperion after the dust settled, which caused Annabeth to turn around.

"Well at least the path forward is clear" she whispered to herself.

"It's now or never" I told the others, who decided on now.

We rushed Hyperion and his brother, who as we got closer I realized was Krios the titan lord of the south.

"TRAITORS" Hyperion yelled as he caught sight of his brothers.

"You know I wouldn't fight my favorite granddaughter brother" Iapetus said

"Mom and dad are both dicks so why should I care about what they want" Damasen asked

The two titans guarding the doors stepped away as we approached to fight us and the drakon that seemed to be Damasen's friend or pet now.

This would be fine. Two of the original titans versus three technically classified demigods (even though I know I'm a hybrid between that and a god), another of the original titans and one of the giants. I like those odds. I mean the three demigods here technically beat the titan lord Kronos by themselves so two of his weaker brothers should be no problem right.

Yeah that didn't happen. Our luck ran out. Out of all the primordials to meet down here the one I hoped to never meet, even more so than the others, heck even the creator, Chaos, would be a preferable meet and greet to who showed up.

At least he did it with shock and awe style as the two titans that were once guarding the gates were absorbed by him from infront of us.

"Well well well" Tartarus started, but I couldn't really tell where the voice was coming from. "You Perseus truly have my attention now. Something not even those pesky gods got when they were down here freeing G's other children" he monologue

"So you'll let us go" I asked hopefully but knowing that even as Hestia's champion that hoping for leniency and freedom in this place is neigh pointless.

"Oh no no no" he said like talking to a toddler. "You and your little girlfriend there just killed a half million of my residents"

"Sorry bout that but you know they wouldn't have let us get close to those doors which we are here to return to their rightful owner" I bargained.

"Ahh yes my nephew Thanatos. Death incarnate. But didn't you also kill many of nieces including the miserable one"

"In my defense all those cases were self defense"

"Right" Tartarus said like he didn't believe me.

"Well I can't let you leave. G needs you to stay here to keep your pesky sisters from joining the fight" Tartarus said.

"father" Damasen interrupted.

"Disappointment. Did you finally decide to join your father and mother again and give up whatever notions you had"

Damasen looked back to us and Iapetus, as if looking at us one last time. "No Father I won't be joining you" he said turning back to the manifestation of the pit. "Iapetus get our friends out of here this is no place for them" Damasen said mounting the Drakon and charging his father.

Now to anyone else a thirty foot tall giant warrior riding a Lockheed C-5 Galaxy sized Drakon into battle would be understandably terrifying. But to the lord of the pit he looked barely bothered by this act as his son charged.

"Go now" Iapetus said grabbing me and practically shoving me into the doors of death elevator, apparently, as my two loves were already inside. "Keep the doors closed Generals until you've reached the out. Hopefully your friends are there" he said as he chopped the chains.

"Iapetus" I tried

"No general. My granddaughter needs her brother more than she needs this old tired being" Iapetus said and started pushing the button causing the doors to initially start their close.

"Your sacrifice will be made known" I said as the doors shut and I felt a sudden change in velocity upwards.
