War for Olympus *Almost Finished*

Rosarie - Artemis

I found my way to where Rayah and the others were gathered around Gem. Cautiously, we entered the palace, a gorgeous structure tattooed with intricate carvings and marble sculptures. Gold flashed here and there and sky high paintings hung everywhere, framed in dense, yet delicate bronze frames. It was a place fit for, literally and ironically, gods.

Gem led us into an elevator. The ride up was silent and stiff, tension heavy in the air. When the doors open, I let out a breath I didn't realize I was holding and the group of us stepped out into a hallway. Gem lead us to a huge golden door and without warning, pushed it open. I squared my shoulders and readied an arrow on my bow.

There was a woman. The first thing I noticed was that as per usual, she was gorgeous, just like everyone else at olympus.

Then I noticed her face and tried unsuccessfully to stop the shudder curling down my spine.

Demi

I followed my instincts and suddenlly found myself facing Ares. My bastard of a father.
"Demitra! My daughter!" He cried in joy. "Oh how I have longed to see you since you were born."
I spat at him. "Bull! You never came to see me and when I finally saw you, you acted as if I never even existed! I HATE YOU!" I cried as I swung my sword at his face and it missed.
How could I have missed! I thought. I never missed! I ran to the western side of him and swung again.

Andrew

We all gathered in the central court yard, I was relieved to see that no one was seriously injured. My eyes drifted to Rayah, she was speaking with Gem. My heart fluttered for the smallest of moments.

I had known Rayah for a long time, although not until recently did I have feelings for her. But love doesn't win wars, warriors do. Which was why I couldn't say anything to her...

Once Gem lead us through the palace and into the elevator. I repeatedly sharpened my blade.

He dies tonight... - I kept thinking.

When the elevator stopped, there was a stillness in the air before the bell rung and the doors opened. Demi sprung through the door and started to attack her father. Everyone split in a different direction, heading to their parent's throne.

I stopped at the feet of my father, he was sitting in his throne lazily. I pointed my sword at him, I was about to say something when he interrupted me

"Don't think you're actually going to kill me tonight Andrew, I am your father." he said, a bubble of rage that had been building burst through me. A torrent of emotion, I yelled.

"YOU WERE NEVER THERE FOR ME! YOU SENT ME OFF INTO THE OCEAN TO DIE BEFORE I COULD BECOME STRONG ENOUGH TO KILL YOU!" He breathed loudly,

"And you honestly thing that you're strong enough to kill me now?" he looked sarcastically at me.

"I've trained my whole life for this!" I yelled at him,

"Perhaps if I had raised you to attend Camp Half-Blood like Percy this wouldn't have happened." He was messing with me, trying to get in my head.

"Don't bullshit me! I was born to kill you, and that was how it was going to happen the whole time! And you know that! It's the only thing I think about!"

"The only thing?" - he knows

I stepped back, deciding to wait to see what the other Juggernauts would do.

Rayah-Aphrodite

Everyone went they're own ways and I searched all around for my mothers chambers. I found a door with flowers and a crown And took my bow and arrow from my back.

My mother looked up at me, plead in her eyes. "Darling. You wouldn't dare hurt me." She says sitting down in her throne.

"Your a freaking B**ch mother! You descrase this city! You- you-" I said...Hoping I said it right.

"Y-You descrased me." I whispered, putting my bow and arrow back on my back. "And this is what I came here for."

I ran for her and she moved out of the way, me and my knife running into the wall.

Dammit.

I yanked my knife out and turned to her. "Bring it on."

Gemini "Gem" Randa

I stand there before the gods only two missing, the recently murdered Demter and Apollo which was somewhere in the city. I lock eyes with my father, and I could feel his thoughts echo in my head. The tension broken on the woman who was pacing around and now was on us.

"Who the heck are you?" She asked but I ignored her.

The juggernauts took aim at each of there parents but waited for my signal.

"You know this all could have easily been avoided if you had left your wife, my stepfather, and my brother and sister alone." I said.

"And? You were a threat to me and my rule, I had to get rid of you!" He said.

"And now prometheasus' prophecy comes true, the one where Chrion had given his immortal life, and Hercuales had freed him." I said.

I could feel the both godly eyes and the eyes of my friends around me on me.

"That's right, I'm riding our invasion on a prophecy told by a titan, I'm sure you remember father, I'm certain I'll run into my half brothers Hercales and Perceus, Andrew is certain to run into Percy and Theseus." I said.

Demi

I swung twice more. Each time I had missed.
"Is that all that you can do. I thought you had trained all your life to defeat me! You are my daughter! I thought that you would be stronger and faster than that! You are like your mother, you are too soft." he snarled.
I lunged. My sword finally hitting something. It was his leg. DAMN! I thought. Almost had him.

Chloe:

So this was it. Everyone around me had encountered their Godly parent, and were trying to destroy them...to kill them. After all, this was our main objective, and it had started to define who we were. I stood in the middle of the fray, taking it in for moment. Then I began looking for my father. I didn't know what I'd do once I found him, but it seemed the only appropriate thing to do.

I knew where he'd be of course, the wine cellar. It was a widely known fact that once he harvested grapes for the season, he would spend days holed up in a cold, light-less hole to carefully begin the fermenting process. Many of his wines were infused with enchantments and he groomed each one to it's fullest potential. I bitterly imagined to myself what my life would have been like had he directed his attention on my mother instead of so feverishly on his wine.

"Gem, this is Chloe reporting. I'm going underground." I relayed towards Gem in case anything happened.

I found my way through the Olympian hall and outdoors until I found two wide, golden doors bearing my father's symbol that led into the ground. I quietly opened them and walked slowly into the cellar, inhaling quickly in response to the sudden chill.

I noticed a lantern burning softly and a silhouette projected against the wall. It was my father, Dionysus, who hummed quietly to himself as he worked. I doubt he even knew what was going on above him. I realised how easy it would be just to end it here and now.

"Chloe." He said without turning around. "I wasn't expecting you." He continued working, "How are you?"

"Not well Dionysus," I replied, trying to keep my voice from wavering.

"I'm sorry to hear about that," he replied, sounding resolute, yet legitimately unhappy.

"You should be," I said, not really knowing what else to say.

"I know what's going on. I've felt it all day, you and your companions plan on overthrowing Olympus," he finally turned to look at me, his unruly black hair framing his tired eyes that were framed by dark circles.

"It's time for a revolution father, your reign has gone on long enough. You've gotten sloppy and apathetic. Leaving your children in the dark thinking they'll be there for you when you think to go back." I glared at him.

"So you plan on taking over after us?" He asked indifferently.

"Of course." I replied, trying to figure out his game.

"I wish you luck." He replied and laughed to himself cryptically. I watched him smile mockingly at me. He never expected me to actually make a move against him. I was struck with a sudden anger, as if everything he had ever done to wrong my family and me had risen to the surface and opened like a fresh wound. Without warning I gained entrance to his emotions and, instead of exaggerating each one that I found, I shut them all down and, when I calmed down, I saw Dionysus lying comatose on the floor.

"Sorry dad." I whispered, taking one last look at him before checking in with Gem.

"Final mission is cleared. Could you use some help up there?" I announced unceremoniously. I didn't feel excited, or proud, or even happy. Though I had successfully immobilized my father, the very bane of my existence, I simply felt numb, and doubt started flickering on the corner of my conscience.

Ivan Buttlestock

Ivan stood looking for his father. Of course, he thought to himself, he can't even help his brothers let alone his children. Ivan felt a sudden surge of anger at Hades. Ivan wanted to kill him. He wanted his fathers soul t be sucked into the underworld and lay there for all eternity. But instead of coming up to help his brothers he stays down in the underworld, most likely having a feast. Ivan turned around to see a lack mist behind him.
"Hello father." Ivan said as a crazy smile formed across his face.

Rayah- Aphrodite

My mom raises an eyebrow and an unknown force pulls me against the wall and she walked over to me. "Rayah, sweetheart. You can't defeat me."

Suddenly my anger builds up and I charge foward pushing her against the wall and kneed her. "You make me sick." I muttered holding her up by her neck. I drop her and she lands uncontious. I smirked to myself and walked out.

I went to go check up on Andrew, and walked in to where he was. "Need any help?"

Gemini "Gem" Randa

I hear Chloe report in Dionysus is dead, I smile crazily.

"Father even now I continue to win, Dionysus has been killed." He said.

He laughed at me, wait what? He LAUGHED at ME. I scowl at him wondering why he had been laughing at me. I wonder what had been going though his mind to have him do so even tho Olympus is about to fall to the Juggernauts.

"Why do you laugh old man?!" I yell at him.

"My son is not dead, if he truely was, you would have never gotten the report that he was." He said.

I scowl again and I get back on my headset.

"Chloe, from what Zeus says Dionyesus is not dead. Go back and finish the job." I tell her.

Then as the battle raged between a few of the gods and juggernauts, my father cringes in pain but quickly looks at me again.

"Dionyesus, is dead." He says.

I go back on the headset and begin to speck again with a crazy grin.

"Chloe, Zeus says he's dead whatever you did it worked. Head to the throne room." I said.

There was no answer back from her, whitch was odd. She always says "right" or "roger" or something. I must have been scowling because he had a grin.

"What happened father? what has happened to Chloe?" I ask.

"You still don't know? And you call yourself my daughter?" He laughs.

He stood and caused a thunder strike to occur, signallying Ares and Aprohdie to take notice and return to there thrones. I stop Lyra from chasing after her father, as I still look at Zeus.

"When the gods are to die, our children follow us behind. When we die, you die." He said.

I started to shake like crazy my eyes growing wide.

Jason "Jay" Chastain:
I'm given directions on where to land and meet with the others over the radio and quickly make to follow them, loudly setting the pegasus and chariot on top of the skylight of the throne room. A pane of glass from the window is left ajar from the movement and I slip through it, falling to the ground beside Gemini.

She's shaking, eyes wide as she stares at her father. The need to protect her kicks in and I draw my sword again, standing in front of her. Pivoting to be able to speak with her, my eyes meet hers.

"What happened?" I whisper.

"Chloe...she's dead." One of the others says.

My face drains of color and I find no more words to say, staring into Gemini's eyes.

At least she took Dionysus with her...

I blink a few times, resisting the urge to shake my head clear.

Ma wouldn't want me thinking that. I might not be 'good', but I'm not cold.

My thoughts dim down to only one question. Does her death change things?

Emmy

I was stalking through the halls of the palace, looking for Athena. Not looking, really--following. I already knew where she was, and where she'd be when I finally caught her. I would take my time, make her wait a while. It didn't make sense to spend all my energy running after her when I already knew what was going to happen.

"Emmy, come in!" That was Gem's voice. She sounded...disturbed.

I grabbed my radio. "Yeah, go ahead," I said.

"Chloe's dead," Gem reported.

"What?!" I shrieked. "How did that happen?!"

"She killed Dionysus," Gem answered. "When our parents die, we die."

Well. That changed things.

"Okay," I said. "I'll be careful. Do you need me for anything else?"

"No, just find Athena," Gem ordered. "Trap her somewhere if you can. We'll figure something out."

"Got it," I replied. "Over and out." I stuck the radio back on my belt and quickened my pace a little. Gem's operation was about to get a lot more complicated.

I stopped, pulling my longbow off my shoulder. Here I was--just steps away from where Athena was hiding. The palace library--how typical of her.

Before slipping through the giant gilded doors, I paused, and dug something out of my pants pocket. Two pieces of felt--for the bottom of my shoes. They'd be a little slippery, but they'd muffle my footsteps. Besides, I didn't have anything to worry about. Athena didn't have any weapons with her, and she wouldn't find any. I slipped the felt pieces onto my shoes and crept inside the library.

Sneaking around the bookshelves in a half crouch, I pulled out an arrow and pivoted around. Athena was right behind that large shelf with all the scrolls. She was scared.

I leapt out from behind the shelf, drew my arrow back, and fired without taking time to aim. I didn't need to--once again, I hit my mark. The arrow, shot at full power from only ten feet away, skewered Athena's arm, pinning her to the library wall.

I drew another arrow and aimed it at Athena's other arm. "Hello, mother," I snarled, a malicious smile spreading across my face.

Andrew~

I was looking angrily at my father, when I heard Rayah's voice behind me. So sweet and melodic, I turned to her. I was about to say something before my father interrupted me

"So is this the one Andrew?" he asked.

"Don't speak! Just because I can't kill you doesn't mean I can't harm you!" I looked at him, my red-purple eyes glowing with hate. I turn to Rayah,

"I think I've got everything under control. Is there word back from Rayah?"

"No, she's still deciding what to do..."

Out of the corner of my eyes I say my father form a trident out of water and aim it at Rayah, he released it. I leaped in front of her, pushing her away. I tried my best to defect the spear but it still nicked me in the side, slicing right through my body armor.

"GAHH!" The pain in my side was intense.

That bastard poisoned the water!

I double over on the floor, my vision blurring from the pain. I can see Rayah leap over me.

"Andrew!"

I hear my fathers voice inside my head laughing.

Rayah

When Poisidon Threw that I lost it and ran for him, "You freaking idiot!" I screamed, pushing him to the floor and punching him a couple times. He threw me into the wall. And I swallowed. I crawled over to Andrew, not hurt at all, and looked over at Poisidon angrily.

I looked back at Andrew and threw him over my shoulder and walked out, still severly pissed off. I brought him to the halls and set him down where no one would find us, not even Gem.

I ripped off a peice of my sleeve, and set it to his wound. I tapped his face with two fingers, "C'mon Andrew. Wake up for me." I whispered.

Gemini "Gem" Randa

My anger was building, fast, when Andrew doubled over I thought he was dead. Black lighting shot around me and I was pissed, I wanted to kill someone, anyone. So I looked to the one man I saw fit to, my father. I looked at him with nothing but pure haterd, a haterd so bad that it had to be let out, I was tired of the years of torment, all the death I had seen, my brother and sister, my stepfather, my mother. For once in a long time I lost my level headedness power boiling over wanting to be loose, that's when I opened fired on my own father.

"Die you son of a bitch die!!!" I yelled as I shot a huge ball of black thunder.

Zeus stood and defelcted it with his fist but it crashed into the wall behind him cause a huge hole in the wall. He looked at it in anger then looked back at me and I saw as much anger as I had pent up inside.

"You insolent child you shall pay for that dearly!!" He roared.

I charged at him blade drawn and as we colided the energy knocked us both out the huge hold and to somewhere else on Olympus.
