Percy landed with a soft thud. The air around him seemed to have displaced itself temporarily before he noticed the cause of the anomaly.

'Sup shithead?' Arion called out with his usual mastery of tact.

"You, what do you want?" Percy wrinkled his nose in disgust.

'Mistress wants me to find out who the chick you're banging is.' Percy shook his head at the lingo the horse was so used to.

"I doubt you'd be pressing to tell anyone if you ever did find out-" Percy responded but was cut short by the silver flash to his side.

'That your slam piece Jackson?' Arion asked, oblivious to the Goddess of the hunt's real identity. Artemis shot them both questioning glares.

Percy laughed knowing the pain that Arion would be subjected to, "Actually Arion that's Lady Artemis, the Goddess of the hunt." Percy held a very triumphant smirk.

'WELL IT WAS NICE SEEING YOU JACKSON BUT I'LL BE GOING NOW!' Arion cried, but for once his legendary speed failed him.

"Stop." Artemis' voice was low and commanding. Arion didn't move a muscle.

'Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit.'

"I can hear your thoughts as well you know."

'...'

"What happened? You were so incredibly articulate before you knew that." Artemis teased.

'SHTI. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT.'

"I'd get running if I were you." Percy pointed in the direction that Arion had come from. A blur was all the evidence that the foul mouthed son of Poseidon had even been there in the first place.

"That was entertaining. Hello you." Percy smiled as Artemis' eyes found his own.

"Percy." She grinned, "What do you want?" She asked, keeping him on point.

"Aside from you, like all the time? I wanted a kiss before I go into this war. I'm the only one who by the ancient laws can even challenge the Primordials and have a chance of success. There's three of them Artemis, there's always the chance that things could go wrong." He explained very slowly.

"If anything does happen, I'll tear this universe apart until I have you back in my arms." Artemis told him sternly. "Well just in case anything does happen, I'd better free Ares, or he'll be trapped for an eternity of boredom." Percy laughed. Artemis noticed his eyes glow purple for a second or two before his focus was back. Slowly he walked over to her and gave her a soft kiss on the lips.

"You'd better get to Olympus. The Gods will want to watch this." Percy explained. She had no words for the man she loved at this point though.

Line Break.

Percy stood atop the battlements of the Roman camp. He stood watching the armies approach the vital converging point. The legions were all anxious to get straight into the fight. The light warriors and the Vikings had not yet been summoned, they were a surprise for Gaea. On the raised wall with Percy was a final makeshift strategy table so that everyone knew clearly what they were going to be doing.

Percy watched the horizon intently, almost as if he was daring Gaea herself to show up. Reyna and Luke were donned in full battle armaments. Thor had decided to go short sleeved and without his luxurious navy blue cape. He claimed that he didn't want to get the blood of the unworthy on it. Secretly he just couldn't tie it up properly. He too was wearing his battle armor, the most notable of which was his golden winged helmet. The true majesty of Thor.

Selene was there along with a mad man that was sitting with his back to the wall smoking. Galo chose to fight on the winning side it seemed, either that or seeing as Erebus himself was here and Aether had pledged a thousand soldiers, that he saw it as a duty to his parents.

"Are your tasks clear?" Percy asked no one in particular.

"Selene. Left side with Aether's warriors. Thor, side by side with Aether's soldiers with our finest Vikings at your back. Galo, just do whatever you want to do as long as it doesn't involve our own troops." Percy wrinkled his nose at the smoking immortal. They'd come to blows in Alaska and he seriously didn't like him since.

"Luke and Reyna will lead the last line of defense against the attacking army with the legion at their backs. The Primordials Nyx and her husband Erebus will arrive shortly. They cannot directly engage in combat against the opposing Primordials, but I can. Leave them to me. I can take them, you cannot. Does everyone understand?" Percy looked at the faces around the wall as they all nodded gravely.

"Champion of Chaos. We need a badass entrance though." Galo spoke up calmly from the shadows.

"Aye. You are all my generals. We shall walk alone to meet the oncoming army when they show themselves. When their words become meaningless I shall give the signal. Selene will summon Aether's forces. I shall summon Nyx and Erebus, Luke and Reyna shall open the gates revealing the legion and Thor shall signal Heimdallr to send our Vikings. Our army will expand before their very eyes." Percy grinned.

"That is rather badass actually." Galo admitted. He stood up and immediately all of the immortals standing on the wall except for Thor pitched their heads to the horizon. Thor being completely Norse could not sense monsters but the others could.

"They approach." Selene nodded.

"So here we are. Facing against the earth and hell itself. When we fought Perseus there was no doubt that you beat me fairly, but I wander how you will use your power in front of these people you call your friends. Let us see who has more flair for the dramatic son of Odin." Galo smiled as they all jumped over the side of the wall. Percy glided down with Luke and Reyna in an arm each. The army approached. Percy counted three giants, thousands upon thousands upon thousands of lesser monsters in their ranks, but driving the horde were three beings of unimaginable power.

The combined power of the evil Primordials hit them like a wave of hot air.

"Bloody hell." Luke muttered.

"Let's do this." Percy grinned as the opposing army didn't even bother with tried words, but instead just charged from the horizon. Percy raised his hand and suddenly Nyx and Erebus were standing at either side of the generals. They stood a tall thirty feet high into the air, much bigger than the Gods but around the same size as these giants. The human forms of Gaea and Tartarus were not impressed. Hydros however was beginning to doubt himself.

Selene was the next one to raise her hand. A moment later a thousand unsynchronised white flashed erupted from the skies and there stood in perfect formation another unit of warriors. This caused Gaea herself to frown in the distance. Thor squared up towards the sky.

"Heimdallr, open the Bifrost!" He boomed. A moment passed before an entire field sized beam of rainbow like light hit the earth. There stood one thousand blood thirsty Vikings all wielding weapons that weighted more than most people. Reyna gave the signal and suddenly the twelfth legion poured out behind the massed armies.

"You impress me champion of Chaos." Gaea muttered, seemingly unwilling to admit it. Percy grinned. The monsters of the army were cut short in a double helix of white and black light that illuminated the battlefield briefly.

"What was that!?" Hydros screamed in surprise as he was knocked free of his placement.

"Hi, name's Galo. I'm the son of Erebus and Aether, and I'm slightly COMPLETELY INSANE!" Galo screamed as he continued to decimate the monsters in front of him. Selene and Thor both sounded the charge and attacked. Nyx and Erebus began to take on the giants that were controlling the ranks of monsters.

"Let's do this mother earth." Percy grinned once again before a purple aura surrounded him.

"Gaea wait, Perseus has changed, his bloodline no longer reflects the Norse heritage he has. He has another aspect, a Greek aspect."

"I am not Perseus!" Armageddon boomed, already in full war mode. The two Primordials flinched at his newly revealed power. The battle raged below them with Armageddon still standing with everyone else, he would show them what he was capable of. He started walking slowly through his own ranks before turning into a run. Yggdrasil was firmly in watch form on his wrist, he wouldn't get it out just yet. A Cyclops had gotten a bit too close to Armageddon as he turned his walk into a sprint. The next thing anyone knew, Armageddon had turned his body at an angle and wound his fist back. The moment the Cyclops' face was in range, he unleashed a powerhouse punch that caused a rupture to spread through the cyclops' body, effectively ripping him apart on particle level. The Cyclops exploded into nothing more than red mist as limbs began raining down on the army. A red blood splatter stained the right side of Armageddon's platinum armor, only serving to enhance how dangerous he was.

Line Break

Artemis was sitting in her throne, pretending to listen to what her father was talking about.

"Ah yes lord Zeus." A messenger, one of Herme's sons responded as he was given a package directly from Zeus to deliver to an occupant of Olympus. Herme's himself would have done it but nobody had been summoned to the throne room, she was just there because she had nothing better to do.

"Father, the war has just begun, you'll want to see this." Apollo announced as he flashed into the throne room.

"Very well. We shall observe it as a council. Let us see how far young Perseus has come since he was revealed to us." Zeus announced neutrally as he struck his bolt against the floor of the throne room. Moments later and all of the Olympians had arrived.

"Dionysus wake up!" Zeus boomed to his son.

"Huh, what?" He asked wearily as he scratched his eyes.

"The son of Odin is about to fight, let us observe." He announced.

They watched everything that was going on through a gigantic cloud of mist that Iris had basically formed a multi-channel Iris call over so that they could observe the battle. They watched as Percy led his generals out to the field, and one by one they summoned their reinforcements. They watched as the battle began and they watched as Percy turned into Armageddon.

"He's got a lot of guts in his Greek form." Zeus admitted. Artemis' heart leaped out of her chest. Her father actually had a sense of respect for her secret fiancé. She sent Ares a death glare than Hades would be proud of. He simply tightened his mouth, that was all that Artemis needed for her to know that whatever Percy had said or done to him in the void, it worked.

"Holy-" Apollo started. He made Iris rewind the call so that they could all watch it again. Sure enough, Percy or Armageddon, had run up and punched a Cyclops so hard that it exploded into red mist. Never mind the golden dust that monsters usually formed when they died, Percy had literally obliterated it from existence.

"And to think, that's the guy that Arty is-" Apollo was cut short of his slip of the tongue by an arrow that landed a few centimeters short of his crotch. He realized his mistake and immediately clamped a guilty hand over his mouth.

"The guy that Arty is WHAT exactly?" Zeus asked so slowly that Artemis knew his tone was dangerous.

"Bad phrasing, I was going to say that he's the guy that Artemis has guarding her girls, nothing is going to ever get through this guy." Apollo's recovery was actually sound, but Hera, seeing the obvious in Artemis' idiot brother's former words, decided to speak up.

"If that was what he was going to say, why did you nearly shoot him dear?" Hera asked with a genuinely mischievous sparkly in her Godly eyes.

"I thought he was going to badmouth Perseus. He is a member of my hunt, a MALE member of my hunt, if he was not truly a great man and above all of the rest of you, then I would have killed him a long time ago. I would not have my idiotic brother bad mouth the one man I have a genuine respect for." Artemis responded without missing a beat. She returned her face to the Iris battle, unknowingly that her gaze had subconsciously faded over to Aphrodite who winked at her.

Line Break

Armageddon dodged as Hydros swept his blade upwards, missing by inches. Armageddon twirled in mid-air, forcing his arm around the bar of his scythe which sent a whirlwind of furious blade strikes right at the stunned God. He wasn't sure if he actually could get the God to fade but it was evident from his increasingly sluggish movements that he was growing tired. The strikes that were landing on him were starting to force him back into slumber, and that was good enough for him. After another torrent of ferocious strikes Armageddon had had enough, he turned and forced himself behind the water God, and plunged his scythe blade all the way through the God. Hydros immediately faltered and fell towards the floor. The Primordial of the rivers hit the ground and exploded into a river that fell away from the spot that he had been felled. "Sleep Hydros." Armageddon muttered. He turned around to find himself face to face with Tartarus who extended his arm faster than Percy could have anticipated. A second later and the son of Odin was thrown viciously across the battlefield. His helmet was crunched form the force that Tartarus had used.

"So that's how it's gonna be huh? BRING IT ON TARTARUS!" Armageddon screamed in defiance at Hell itself. They both charged each other and much to his surprise, he'd gotten lucky and managed a deep slice along the God's stomach when he dropped to the floor and slid out from under his strike. He would be out of the battle for a moment while he recharged. Tartarus fell away and faded into the shadows so that he could heal the strike Armageddon had given him. This was it, the allied armies were decimating Gaea's forces completely and utterly. It was then that Armageddon knew that he had to take Gaea out right now.

He found her terrorizing Galo who was probably actually enjoying the torturous warfare that she was instilling on him.

"You wanted to see true power Galo, let me show you." Armageddon hissed sadistically as he let out a flurry of punches that struck Gaea's elegant form. She released her hold on Galo who took an entire two seconds to bolt upright at the speed of a hamster on coffee. He'd obviously gone into overdrive as he began to purposely decapitate evil centaurs. That wasn't right, the sick bastard.

Armageddon was squared off against Gaea who was renting and faltering under the incredible intensity that he was setting. Lightning began to strike around the two fighting figures. Successful punches were the ones that shook the earth when Gaea tried to protect herself with thick tree trunks that shot up from the ground, but the sad truth was dawning on her that Armageddon was equal to her in the state that he was in, this was after defeating Hydros with ease and slicing Tartarus' stomach up. He was incredibly powerful. That and her army was practically non-existent anymore.

The continuous lightning that was pounding the earth began to slowly form color and before long with Armageddon and Gaea still fighting there was black lightning snaking towards the ground all around them. Armageddon's eyes were pure black with white and purple wisps of pure energy flowing freely from them. The black lightning was hitting the ground and releasing contained supernovas of pure energy from within them.

Armageddon got the upper hand when Gaea fell back, panting heavily from her exertion. Armageddon didn't miss the chance, he immediately formed a spear out of Yggdrasil and ran the Primordial Goddess through. He wished that it would have killed her immediately, but instead she promptly faded away while the features on her face settled into a solemn slumber.

"Two down. One to go. Where are you Tartarus?" Armageddon asked maliciously.

"I'm right here you fool!" Tartarus got his attention but by the time he could defend himself against the attack, it was too late.

Line break.

The Olympians watched in awe at what happened. Artemis cleanly fell from her throne and on to her knees. "He's gone..." She whimpered.

Zeus was gobsmacked but he relented to see what his daughter had been so worried about. "What is wrong with you Artemis? He did his duties like he should and now at least you'll be free of the male presence near your hunters." Zeus explained like it was obvious.

"Dear, can you truly not see what the problem is?" Hera asked, her voice was sharp and frosty. Apollo was on his knees on the other side of the throne room.

"Perce, no." He whispered quietly.

"What on Olympus has gotten into you two!?" Zeus demanded, standing up.

"It's pretty obvious is in not father? Artemis and the lad had a romance." Hephaestus spoke up.

Tears were rolling freely down her face, she didn't even bother denying it. Zeus was fuming, he would have picked up his master bolt if he knew it would do anything against Percy. What Artemis didn't expect was for Apollo to be the one to defend her.

"HOW DARE YOU!" He screamed at Zeus. The king of the Gods fell back into his throne so fast that they were sure he broke through the back of it.

"HE IS MORE OF A MAN THAN YOU WILL EVER BE FATHER! Yes, I knew about this, but so did Ares, I know for a fact through my power of prophecy and clear sight that Percy was the only one who was to ever make Artemis happy in her life. You shall not ever bad mouth Perseus Jackson ever again!" Apollo demanded. His entire body was alight with flames hotter than those in Hephaestus' forge. He had shown his own true power that day as his golden body had illuminated every inch of the Olympian throne room.

Line Break.

"I'm right here you fool!" Tartarus shouted, his magical power hit Armageddon like a wave of lead and forced him to turn back into Percy.

"Your efforts have stopped nothing Percy Jackson. Gaea will rise from her sleep once again and I will be there by her side the entire way. You may have won today, but how well will your precious armies fare against us when you're trapped in Tartarus for all of eternity. The process may force me to slumber once again, but you will be trapped to relive the worst punishment someone can ever face." Tartarus grinned. Ichor was gushing out of the wound Armageddon had given him, it had clearly not healed at all. Percy briefly managed to regain his footing. The power emitting off of Tartarus was like nothing he had ever seen before. He braced against the shockwaves that were threatening to throw him back. Slowly his armor was forced away from his body in pieces, it was all coming down to a last ditch effort. Right when Percy was upon Tartarus' stunned form, his watch was gone as well. That was his plan, but it seemed that he was left with only improvisation.

"Perseus Jackson, I sentence you to eternity in the darkest corners of the pit. Enjoy your reward for aiding the weak." Tartarus spat.

"If I'm going down, then you're coming with me!" Percy screamed as he finally reached Tartarus. The magic was complete though, and just as Percy grabbed hold of the Primordial God of hell itself, the ground shook and opened up, swallowing them both whole.

Chaos herself appeared on the battlefield and eradicated any remaining monsters from flares that shot from her eyes. She was furious. A cheap trick had rid her of her champion. She flashed away and onto Olympus. She felt that no words could ever do, so instead she just walked over to Artemis and placed her hands on her shoulders. "Come with me child, there is much to discuss." She spoke softly before they both vanished from the throne room. Percy Jackson had defeated Gaea, Hydros and by extension, Tartarus in a single battle, but his sacrifice was what sealed the temporary peace for the Romans. Now Percy is stuck in Tartarus' deepest and most horrifying places while Artemis had been taken away by Chaos herself, it was a truly dark day for everyone.
