Percy Jackson and the Olympians 1. Chapter 1

**Disclaimer: Rick Riordan owns PJATO, just writing for fun.**

The Queen of the Titans, Rhea, was sitting in a forest waiting for her mother Gaia. Rhea had an emergency and her mother was the only one who could help her.

"Rhea my daughter what troubles you?" Gaia asked as she approached her daughter.

Rhea embraced her mother, "Mother I'm pregnant again" she stated sadly.

"Do you want to hide the child with Zeus?"

"Mother is there any way you can convince Kronos to not eat this one?" Rhea asked almost in tears. Gaia looked at her daughter and took pity on her.

"Even if I can convince Kronos to let you keep this one, what will you do when Zeus comes to challenge his father?"

"I will convince all my children that overthrowing their father is for the best" Rhea said with absolute conviction.

"Very well my daughter, return to your husband and I will follow shortly and convince him to let you keep this child."

Rhea hugged her mother and turned to leave but stopped and turned to her mother, "How is Zeus, Mother?"

Gaia smiled, "The boy is growing strong and will be able to do what is necessary when the time comes." Rhea smiled and flashed back to Mt. Othrys, home of the Titan court.

**Line Break**

All of the Titans were gathered in the feast hall, celebrating their rule over all the other beings of the cosmos. Kronos was bragging about the overthrow of his father, again, when suddenly Gaia entered the palace. All the Titans, minus Kronos, kneeled in the presence of the primordial goddess.

"To what do we owe the honor of your visit mother?" Kronos asked his mother.

"I have come to congratulate you on securing your throne my son."

"What do you mean mother?"

"By devouring your children you have prevented the prophecy I gave you so long ago about being overthrown."

Kronos smiled at this statement but before he could say anything Metis, the Titaness of Wisdom, spoke, "What of the child Queen Rhea currently carries?"

Gaia smiled, "That child shall be Prince of the Titans and will be crucial to the fate of his father throne."

There were many reactions around the room from shock to confusion. Kronos spoke, "I thought I had secured my throne mother?"

"You have my son, for now."

Kronos snarled, "Elaborate!"

Shocking most of the beings in the room that he would speak to a primordial in such a way. Gaia smirked at the arrogance of her son, thinking how he was acting just like his father.

"There will come a threat to your throne my son and your newest son will be crucial in the outcome of said threat."

Kronos sat there absorbing the information before speaking to his court, "The seventh child of myself and my queen will be named my heir and prince among the Titans."

Rhea smiled widely at her mother who nodded in return. Gaia knew if she played to her son's paranoia and told her son his precious throne would be in jeopardy that he would agree to almost anything she said.

"Mother you are sure it's a son?" Rhea asked from her throne.

"Yes my daughter I'm positive." And with that Gaia flashed out of her son's throne room, chuckling to herself the whole time. If her son would have paid more attention than he would have noticed she never said the child would produce a good or bad outcome to the coming threat.

**Line Break**

A few months after Gaia visited the Titan court, Rhea was ready to bring forth her new child. The birth of an immortal is a quick process and while not as painful as a mortal childbirth, Rhea still felt a near unbearable stab of pain as her newest son entered the world. Rhea held her new son in her arms and marveled at the fact she would actually be able to raise this one. While she just stared at her son, Kronos walked in to see his proclaimed heir.

"Rhea my wife how are you?"

Rhea smiled at her husband, "I am well my lord, come meet our son."

Kronos stepped over to her and looked down at his son. The baby had a tuft of brown hair, a mother's skin coloring, and when he opened his eyes they were so ice blue that they were almost white. Kronos smiled at the boy who besides the eyes was a carbon copy of his mother. He slipped his finger into his new sons hand and was surprised when the baby squeezed it and it actually hurt the Titan Lord.

"The boy is incredible strong" Kronos said shaking his sore finger.

Rhea chuckled at this, "Indeed he is my lord and that is why his name will be Carolos."

Kronos nodded at his wife's decision and left the room to announce to the court the birth of his new son. Rhea cried a bit at the thought of her five eldest children that were still trapped in her husband's stomach. 'My sweet Hestia, Hades, Demeter, Poseidon, and Hera' she thought sadly. She kissed her newest sons head and whispered, "One day my son you and your siblings will set things right."

	2. The Titan Prince

**Disclaimer: Rick Riordan owns PJATO, I'm just writing for fun.**

**5 Years Later: Carolos's POV**

"Carolos get your butt out of bed this instant." I heard mother yell from outside my door.

"Five more minutes mom" I whine from underneath my blankets. The next thing I know is my mother is dragging me out of my bed.

"Cal get up and get dressed this instant we are holding court today and your father insists that you be there."

I get up and stretch, "Yeah yeah mom give me a few minutes to get pretty and I'll be there."

Mom rolls her eyes at me and gives me a kiss on the cheek before leaving my room. I dress in my ice blue chiton, which matches my eyes, and put on my crown that marks me as a prince in my father's court. I walk to the throne room and I swear this place never fails to amaze me. The black marble columns hold up the whole structure and from the balcony you can see the garden where Atlas' daughters live. You can also see the massive World Pillar, which keeps the sky from embracing the earth. On the ceiling is a depiction of my father cutting up his father while his brothers hold on to him. As I make my way to my throne I notice just about all the important Titans are here and they have their children with them. All of my aunts and uncles are here along with their children and grandchildren. That's when I notice her, Leto. Leto is the most beautiful being ever, with her striking blue eyes and long silky auburn hair. Every time I try to talk to her my tongue grows thick and can only stutter out a jumbled racket. So in order to keep myself from being embarrassed, I make my way over to my uncle Iapetus, who taught me how to fight with my weapon of choice, a spear, because he is my favorite uncle.

"Uncle how are you?"

"I'm well Cal, how goes the search for a wife?" He asked in a teasing tone but loud enough to capture the attention of my other uncles and aunts who had to come give me a hard time.

"Yes Cal, have you still not found a woman to wed?" my aunt Theia asks.

"Or at least one to share your bed?" my uncle Hyperion teased which set all the males off laughing.

After getting my blush under control, "I'll have you all know" I start to say but was cut off by the arrival of my parents.

My father sits in his throne and turns his attention to our group, "Now let's get down to business, than we can tease Cal on his lack of bedroom action." This set the whole stupid room off and made me blush even harder. My mom slaps my dad upside the head, which makes their siblings laugh even harder.

I make my way to my throne and sit, "I am not married because apparently in this family you have to marry your sister and since I don't have any," I say in a joking way but the joyful mood seemed to just vanish from the elder Titans.

My father clears his throat, "Well let us begin."

I just sighed this council meetings take forever.

**Rhea's POV:**

I listen to my husband drone on and on about trivial matters, while the council just eats it up. I look over to my son and see that he is looking at some of the women assembled here. He takes the jesting well but I know he wants to be married, so he can please his father. Ever since he was a baby Cal always sought to please his father and Kronos was always supportive and attentive to his son. I could hardly believe that a man, who could so carelessly eat his eldest children, could actually be a good and loving father to a child. I notice Cal catches Leto's eyes and she smiles and him and my son immediately looks away with a huge blush on his face. I make a mental note to tease him later, he can enter any combat situation and not falter but make him talk to a girl and he crumbles into a scared little boy.

"Watch your eyes boy" I hear my nephew Atlas bellow.

"This boy just happens to be your prince, cousin" Cal snarls at him. I sigh this has been a never ending thing between these two. My son is an easy going man and generally gets along with everyone, but he absolutely loathes Atlas, and the feeling is mutual. Atlas was always Kronos' favorite before Cal came along. Kronos had taken Atlas under his wing and had groomed him to be his right hand, but that all changed when Kronos had his own son. It did not help matters that Iapetus, Atlas' father, was also close to Cal. And the final thing that divides Cal and Atlas is the fact that Cal is close friends with Atlas' daughters, the Hesperides and Calypso.

"That might be godling, but keep your eyes off my daughter." Atlas said making sure to make godling sound like the worst insult he could deliver.

"Well Titan" Cal spat the word, "Calypso is my friend and I will look at her if I want too."

Both men drew their weapons, "Enough both of you calm down now" I order.

Cal puts his spear away, "Of course mother" while Atlas puts his javelin away, "Of course my queen."

Kronos slams the hilt of his scythe on the ground to get everyone's attention, "I think a recess is in order so some of us may calm our tempers."

I walk over to my son and rub his shoulders, "You must try not to provoke him my son, Atlas does not take to challenges well" I say in my concerned mother voice.

"He started it mother" my son pouts in a way that I can't help but chuckle.

"Carolos come with me" Kronos says from a doorway to a balcony.

"Coming father" my son dutifully replies. Cal gives me a kiss on the forehead and joins his father on the balcony.

"Our young prince does not take well to insults does he?" Metis asks as she approaches me.

"He has a quick temper" I reply.

"Runs in the family" she jokes and we share a laugh.

She stops laughing and her face takes on a serious look, "My queen the task you have me working on will be ready to start tomorrow."

I nod my head, "Have you made all the preparations?"

"Yes my queen the new servant will arrive tomorrow."

I nod my head, "May the Fates be with us."

**Carolos' POV:**

I join my father on a balcony overlooking a vast territory.

"My son you must learn to control your temper" my father says without taking his eyes off the landscape.

"I know father, but Atlas just gets under my skin."

Dad smirks, "He resents you son you have everything that was once his."

I raise an eyebrow at my father which makes him chuckle.

"Think about it son, before your birth Atlas was my right hand. It was he who commanded my armies, the one I placed all my pride in."

I cannot believe my father thinks so highly of me.

"Why do you place so much pride in me father?"

My father turns to me and places his hands on my shoulders.

"My son you are a strong warrior, a loyal son no father could ask for a better son."

I am humbled by my father's words and the passion he places in them.

"Thank you father and I could not be any prouder than to be the only child of the great King Kronos and Queen Rhea."

My father smiles at me and heads back to the throne room, but he turns around at the door, "But I would not mind some grandchildren."

I let out an aggravated groan, "Come on dad not you too."

He just laughs and returns back to the throne room. I turn back to the landscape and just admire the view when I feel a hand placed on my shoulder.

"You seem to be in deep thought my son."

I smile up at my mother. My mother is a tall woman with chocolate brown eyes and long hair of the same color. Her skin is a beautiful pale color. I have the same color hair and the same skin tone as her. I also inherited several other features from her. The point I am trying to make is that I look more like my mother than I do my father.

"Just admiring the view mother."

"It is quite lovely isn't it?"

I nod my consent. "Is there something you need mother?"

She grabs my hand, "Yes my son, I want you to go with your uncle Oceanus when he returns to his kingdom today."

I raise an eyebrow at that. My father does not care much for my uncle Oceanus, since he would not help my father against their father, but my mother has a decent relationship with him.

"Of course mother but may I ask why?"

"He wants your advice on the expanding of his palace, and probably to get you take one of his daughters off his hands."

I laugh, "Of course mother, I'll leave when he does."

She smiles at me and kisses me on the cheek, "Know that I love you with all my heart my son, no matter what happens."

I raise an eyebrow at her wording but just shrug it off, "And I love you with my entire heart mother."

"Good my son, well I will see you in a few weeks" she says and flashes away leaving me alone on the balcony.

"Are you ready nephew?" My uncle Oceanus asks as he walks toward me arm in arm with his wife, my aunt, Tethys.

I smile at them, "Of course my lord, my lady."

Aunt Tethys smiles widely at me, "Who knows maybe we can get you to take one of our daughters off our hands."

"We only have three thousand" my uncle mutters.

I laugh at that, before we all flash to their palace under the seas.

	3. Meeting the Family

**Disclaimer: Rick Riordan owns PJATO and HoO**

**Carolos' POV:**

I just flashed back from my Uncle Oceanus' palace but I could tell something was wrong. A servant was running by so I grabbed his arm to find out what was going on.

"The king has fallen ill, my prince."

"What do you mean ill? Immortals don't get ill."

"I'm just repeating what I heard, my prince."

"Where is my father?"

"In the war room, my prince."

I release the servant and make my way to the war room. I open the door to find my father with his war council, which includes my uncles, with the exception of Oceanus, Atlas, Prometheus, and a few others. My father looks awful his skin is clammy looking and his eyes are ichor shot.

"Father what's going on?"

The council turned towards me with a look of hate for some reason.

My father cleared his throat, "A godling poisoned me my son, which allowed him to release five dangerous prisoners from their prison."

"Who are these prisoners father?"

"Five other godlings that were put away for treason against my throne."

I nod my head, "So we have six dangerous godlings out there, do we know where they are?"

Before my father could answer that arrogant jerk Atlas spoke, "Who cares what can six godlings do against the might of the Titans?"

"Be quiet my foolish son, who knows how powerful these gods are going to be with their parentage?" My Uncle Iapetus says.

"Who are their parents?" I ask.

All eyes turn to my father, "It matters not Carolos, what does matter is that you will find these godlings and you will either bring them back here in chains or you will send them to Tartarus, is that clear my son?"

I bow to my father, "It will be done my lord."

"Good use your connection to your mother," he spat the word, "and you will find these traitorous gods."

I raise an eyebrow at that but know better than to question my father when he is in a mood like he is in.

**Line Break**

I put on my armor, which consists of a celestial bronze breastplate, a leather warrior skirt, two leather vambraces, two leather shin protectors, and a white cloak with a hood attached to it, which I wear up so only my mouth is visible. I strap my spear to my back and place a silver ring on my right ring finger. The ring, when twisted, becomes a shield. It was a gift from my mother when my Uncle Iapetus declared me a master of spear fighting. I reach out to the connection I share with my mother and it is very strong at a mountain to the north of my current location. I flash there, but I'm blocked from going to the summit by a powerful barrier. These gods must be very powerful if they can block me. I start climbing and soon I could make out voices. I decide to ignore them for now and continue to make my way to the summit. I finally make it to the summit and find a hiding place where I can listen to the godlings.

"Brothers and Sisters will you stand with me against Kronos?" a man with black hair and electric blue eyes asked.

"I will brother" said a man with the same black hair and black eyes.

"I will brother" said a beautiful woman with black hair and earthy brown eyes.

"I will brother" said a man with sea green eyes and the same black hair as the other two men.

"I will as well brother" said a beautiful woman with hazel eyes and curly brown hair.

They all had a unique look to them but you could defiantly tell that they were siblings, but what really bothers me is how familiar their features are. I am broken out of my musings by the last voice to speak.

"I will as well brother" said a beautiful woman who made me do a double take. The woman had chocolate brown hair, eyes the same shade of brown, and a beautiful pale skin complexion. I thought I was looking at my mother for a second; she looked that much like her, which means she looked just like me. We could pass for twins; I mean the only noticeable differences are the eyes and male/female thing. I am broke out of my musings by the first voice speaking again.

"Good together we can overthrow the tyrannical Titan Lord."

Well I've officially heard enough to know they are traitors.

**General POV:**

Just as the six siblings go to discuss a strategy to defeat their father a figure appears from a rock.

"Yeah good luck with that," Carolos says as he approaches the group.

"Who are you?" Zeus demands as he draws his sword.

"That matters not, what does matter is that you six are under arrest by order of King Kronos. My Lord has instructed me to bring you back to Mt. Othrys but gave me permission to kill if necessary."

"We would rather die than go back there" a furious Hera said as her siblings nod their heads in acknowledgement to her words.

Carolos just smirks and snaps his fingers and a celestial bronze net ensnares the three goddesses. Carolos never did like the idea of hurting women. Before the three brothers can react their attacker is on them. Hades and Poseidon were both unarmed but still rushed their attacker, which in hindsight wasn't too smart. Carolos could instantly tell the two unarmed gods were not trained to fight so he decided to disable them quickly. Using his amazing strength and reflexes he developed after years of warrior training he caught the black eyed ones arm and twisted until he heard a satisfying snapping sound. Poseidon managed to land a solid punch to their attacker's ribs, which made him stumble but Poseidon's hand felt like he just punched a mountain. Cal felt the punch but smirked when he saw the green eyed god holding his now probably broken hand. Cal kicked him and sent him flying backwards. Zeus charged the cloaked man and swung his sword in a way that was meant to decapitate him. Cal ducked under the blade and uppercutted the swordsman causing him to stumble. This gave Cal enough time to get his spear out, but he opted not to use his shield since the traitorous god did not have one. Zeus swung again but this time he was just testing the cloaked man's defenses. Zeus knew he had to get close since his opponent's weapon had the reach advantage. Cal laughed to himself as he noticed the god trying to get into close quarter combat. When Cal chose the spear as the weapon he wanted to use his father questioned him about why he did not use a weapon that would take advantage of his strength. Cal picked the spear because this would give him the reach advantage on his opponent, and if his opponent got close Cal would use his shield as an offensive weapon or in a fight like this one, Cal could just use his strength to engage in hand to hand combat. Zeus got in close and initiated a weapons lock between the two gods. Cal smirked at this and held his spear with one hand and reached back and punched his opponent in the face making him stumble backwards. Before Zeus could recover his opponent swept his feet out from under him. Cal raised his spear up ready to impale the defeated god but before he could he was blasted away by an incredible powerful energy blast. Zeus looked over to see all five of his siblings with their hands held up; having blasted the cloaked man that was about to kill him. Cal shakingly got off the ground and had just enough time to get his shield out as he blocked a blast from all six of the traitorous gods. Before they could break through his defenses a bright flash caught the attention of the seven gods. The flash revealed Rhea, Queen of the Titans and mother of the seven gods.

**Carolos' POV:**

"Mother get out of here it's dangerous!" I yell at my mother as I make my way over to her. As I take a defensive position in front of her I notice the traitorous gods are looking at me in shock as they look back and forth between my mother and me. My mother places her hands on my shoulders and turns me around to look at her. My warrior instincts are screaming at me to not put my back to an enemy but the look in my mother's eyes let me know that she is about to tell me something serious.

She strokes my hair, "My son" this causes a gasp among the traitorous gods, "it's time for you to learn the truth."

"What truth mother? And why in front of these traitors?"

"Silence son and listen to me" my mother says in a way that makes me feel like a little boy again. Mom waves her hand and eight thrones appear which we proceed to take seats in. I'm in the throne next to mother so she grabs my hand and looks me in the eye.

"Carolos my baby boy I'm about to tell you something that will change your entire world."

I nervously nod my head for her to continue.

"Cal look at these gods and tell me what you see."

I glance over the gods one more time and make the same conclusions as I did earlier.

"They are obviously siblings" I say in a curious tone.

"Yes indeed my son they are indeed each other's siblings" she takes a deep breath, "and your siblings as well my son."

My mind races with hundreds of thoughts but mostly my mind feels blow, so I say the intelligent thing, "Do what?"

My mother proceeded to tell me how my grandmother, Gaia, told my father he would be overthrew by his children, which would be a new race of immortals that would be greater than the Titans, so he imprisoned the five eldest children to prevent that from happening.

"Then why not imprison Zeus and me?" I ask.

"He tried to imprison Zeus but my mother came up with a plan to save Zeus and she lied to your father so you would be spared."

This is a lot to take in but one thing still doesn't make sense to me.

"Mother where were the five held, I know all our prisons and I have never seen them before."

My five oldest sibling, fates that's weird to say, all grimace and that changes to a look of anger.

My mother looks on the verge of tears but manages to speak, "He ate them as they were born my son" she says when the first tears fall from her eyes.

My mind stops working as I can't believe what I'm hearing.

"I can't believe that mother" I yell at her.

Hestia, the oldest of my siblings, grabs my hand and gives me a comforting look.

"Little brother everything our mother says is true; Hades, Poseidon, Demeter, Hera, and I grew up inside our father, never seeing daylight until Zeus freed us."

I can tell from her eyes that she is telling the truth. I hit my knees as my whole world has just been shattered in a matter of moments. My father, my king, the man who I idolized, the man I've strove to emulate since I was a child, was a power hunger monster who would do anything to keep his power, including eating his own children. I look over to my mother who looks so broken and that's when something inside of me snaps. Anger suddenly fills every fiber of my being. I punch the ground, and with anger fueling my already tremendous strength, I caused the mountain to rumble.

"Father will pay, I will tear him limb from limb, and the last thing he will see is me destroying his precious throne with my bare hands" I say in my anger.

My mother puts her hands on my shoulders and pulls me up. She makes sure to look at all of us in the eye.

"My children, it's time for you to fulfill the prophecy the Earth Mother gave so long ago. The seven of you will overthrow your father and his regime and take command of the cosmos."

My siblings and I all share a look and nod our agreements to our mother's words.

Zeus speaks, "Brothers and Sisters, the rebellion of the Gods has officially begun."

	4. Sibling Bonding and WAR

**Disclaimer: PJATO belongs to Rick Riordan. I'm just writing for fun.**

**General POV:**

The seven siblings decided to make the mountain where they met their base of operations, as well as the capital of their new world. The mountain was known as Olympus, so the siblings took the name Olympians for themselves. Carolos immediately began training his siblings in the way of combat. Even though he preferred the spear, Cal was proficient in all forms of combat so he handled training his older siblings. Poseidon was best with a sword and hand to hand combat. In terms of brute strength, Poseidon was the strongest sibling; of course he was still a long way from Cal's level. Hades was also best with the sword and great with his powers. Zeus was already decent with a sword but Carolos brought his level up by teaching him some new things. Cal would have preferred that his sister's not have to fight, but his mother insisted that all seven of them would be needed to bring down the Titan Lord. So Cal set out to instruct his sisters combat as well. Demeter was a quick study with a sword, but was not an aggressive person. Hestia was best with a spear but was not a fighter. Being the first born of two immortals, Hestia had tremendous power and Carolos knew he had to find a way to make Hestia harness her fighting spirit. Now Hera was the warrior of the three sisters. She was a natural spear fighter and she could be more aggressive than her four brothers at times. While the seven siblings improved in fighting, their mother was busy gathering allies to join her children's cause. There were many Titans and Gods who were against the tyranny of Kronos' reign but had lacked the ability to do anything about it. When Rhea mentioned her and Kronos' seven children leading a rebellion against Kronos, well they jumped on the chance to usher in a new age. Metis had been watching Zeus for Rhea, so she was the first of the Titans to ally with the Olympians. She offered her wisdom in their councils and instructed the eldest five in things they would have learned had they not been imprisoned inside their father. The siblings planned on launching an attack on their Uncle Koios' stronghold first. This was the plan because the stronghold was the weakest of all the Titan Lords' but would be an awesome declaration of war against the Titan Lord and his regime. Carolos and Metis also agreed it would be good for the others to get some real combat experience before they fought the like of Atlas and Hyperion, Kronos' greatest warriors. The attack was set for dawn but the siblings were up late sitting around the hearth, which Hestia was a natural at tending too.

**Carolos' POV:**

My siblings were nervous about tomorrow and if I'm being honest so am I. I have been training all my life to fight, but tomorrow we were going to enter a real war like situation against one of the first generation Titans.

"Zeus what was it like growing up at ?" Hestia asks.

"It was a tough childhood, our grandmother Gaia made sure I trained every day for the day I had to free you all."

"How about growing up as a prince Cal?" Demeter asked me.

I corrected each of my siblings every time they tried calling me Carolos. I only liked being called my full name at formal events and by strangers.

"It was a lot pressure."

I got funny looks from all my siblings except Hestia who made a motion for me to continue.

"A lot was expected of me being the only child of the King and Queen. People expected me to be the best at everything, to be my father's heir in not only name but in skill as well."

I practically spat that last part about my father.

"We will be able to defeat Kronos?" Hades asked from the other side of the hearth.

I ran my hands through my hair before answering, "It won't be easy, our father, is the lord of time and he knows how to use that scythe."

The very thought of fighting my father makes me feel wrong. The loyal son part of my brain is screaming at me about being a traitor and the love I still hold for my father is begging me to return to Othrys and beg for forgiveness. But the love for my mother outweighs the love for my father and I keep seeing the absolute despair on my mother's face when she told me about father eating my eldest siblings. So I am going to fight my father and his regime for my mother. And besides I've gotten use to the idea of having siblings. Speaking of my siblings I look up and notice they all look down after my statement, but that didn't last for long as Zeus got to his feet and began speaking.

"Yes our father is powerful but fret not my brothers and sisters; we have his power in our veins along with the power of our mother. Just as Kronos overthrew his father, he will be cast down by us his children and we will claim dominion of the cosmos as is our birthright."

I have got to give my brother props he knows how to give a speech. The mood lightens up after Zeus' speech and we enjoy each other's company for a while.

"So little brother you were a prince among the titans?" Poseidon asks with a smirk on his face.

"Yes" I reply in a curious tone.

"So how come you don't have a woman or two?"

I groan loudly in an annoyed tone which causes my siblings to laugh at me.

"Really Poseidon, I already caught this enough from our parents and everyone else."

My siblings continue to laugh at me at least until Hera speaks.

"In all seriousness though why aren't you married little brother? I'm sure women lined up to marry the prince."

"I just never found the right woman I guess."

"So what is this right woman like little brother?" Demeter asked.

"I don't really know Demi, but mom always said when I found the right woman, I would know it."

"Yes I did and I still mean that." Mother said appearing from the other side of the room.

"I say that to all my children, when your significant other comes along you will know it."

Mother smiles at us before ushering us to get some sleep.

"Rest now my children you have a big day tomorrow."

"Fates be with us all" I say before heading to my bed.

**General POV:**

The Olympians stand on the outskirts of Koios stronghold preparing their attack.

"Is everyone ready?" Zeus asks as he grips his sword.

All the siblings nod their heads. Zeus nods his head in return before charging and shouting "For Olympus!"

All of the siblings besides Carolos join Zeus in his charge. Carolos lifts a rather large boulder and throws it with all his might at the strongholds' gate, which tore it completely off its hinges. The six oldest siblings charge through the now open gateway and began slaughtering the monsters that Koios has as guardians. An alarm sounded which would no doubt draw the attention of the elder Titan, but then again that was the Olympians plan. Things were going well until the Gods began getting struck by arrows that were being fired by a battalion of Dracaena, creatures that a human female top half and a snake half from the waist down. The Gods take shelter by forming a wall with their shields, but were unable to make an attack because of the sheer number of arrows being fired at them. Being focused on the six gods in front of them, the Dracaena don't notice Carolos scaling the wall and reaching the top behind them. Cal immediately begins slaughtering the unexpecting monsters and is soon surrounded by piles of golden dust.

"Well that was fun, you guys okay?" Cal asks.

"Fine brother" the other six Olympians reply.

"You six head into the throne room and I'll do a sweep of the rest of the castle" Cal ordered as he rushed off into the castle leaving no room to argue his orders.

"Does anyone find it odd that we take orders from the baby brother?" Poseidon asks.

Before anyone could reply they heard Cal yell, "I'm not a baby!"

The elder siblings could not help but laugh at their younger brother. After getting their laughing under control the six eldest Olympians burst into the throne room to find Koios and his son Lelantos putting on their armor. Guards came from the two hallways that led into the throne room; the six gods were vastly outnumbered. Koios just smiles at the situation and speaks, "Well what do we have here?"

**Carolos' POV:**

I ran through the halls of Koios' stronghold destroying any monster that I encountered. I was hoping to find my friends/cousins Lelantos and Leto, two of Koios' children. Lelantos would probably not be able to be persuaded to join our side but he was my friend and I owed him the opportunity to make the choice. Leto I was hoping would join us, mostly because I don't know if I have the heart to hurt her in any way. Ever since I was a boy I have been totally in love with Leto. Well I mean I have had a mega crush on her since I met her. When I was a prince I always tried to talk to her, but whenever she was around my brain went to mush and the only thing I could stutter out was "Hey Leto", real smooth you know. Koios' other daughter, Asteria, would be with her husband Perses, the Titan of Destruction. I entered a wing that I remembered housed the bedrooms. I opened each of the doors to find them empty or with mortal servants trying to hide from the fighting. I made it to the last room at the hall and I could tell that someone was here. I slowly entered with my shield in front of me. I turn a corner and spot my Aunt Pheobe sitting in a chair reading a scroll like nothing is going on around her. The sound of metal hitting the ground makes me turn my head. A mortal servant dropped her serving tray at the sight of me. I got distracted by her so I didn't notice the hand that gripped my shoulder and turned me around only to have a knee forcefully introduced to my manhood. I fell to the ground holding myself in what I can only describe as pure agony.

"Carolos?" I hear my attacker say and through my agony I know the speaker, Leto.

"Hold on Leto the boy needs a moment to collect himself" Aunt Pheobe says never looking up from her scroll.

After a minute or two of pure agony I stand up and collect my bearings.

"Carolos what are you doing here?" Leto asks.

I calmed my mind before speaking, "Leto maybe we should sit down."

She nods and we take seats at the table her mother is at. I explained to them about our rebellion and why we were attacking their palace, and I offered them a chance to join us.

"You want to kill my father but you expect me to join you?" Leto asked in a scary tone.

I steeled my nerves. "Yes Leto, I'm sorry your father has to die but you know he would side with my father and that cannot be allowed."

Leto goes to say something but is interrupted by her mother, "He is right my dear, your father would never turn against our brother and he is right my little brother Kronos is a tyrannical monster that must be stopped."

"Will you join us Aunt Pheobe?" I ask with hope in my voice. I know none of my uncles will side against my father, but I knew my aunts would consider it at the least. Mother went to Uncle Oceanus and asked for his help, but he said he will remain neutral, while it would have been grand to have his help, I'll take not having to deal with the Lord of the Seas.

"I will not join you nephew nor will I stand against you, I claim neutrality in this conflict."

"I understand Aunt Pheobe."

"Lelantos will not abandon his father, my nephew."

"Then he will have to be taken prisoner or killed, Aunt Pheobe."

She sighs very sadly, "I know Cal; I only wanted to inform you of where he would stand and to ask for you to be merciful if he be taken prisoner."

"You have my word my Lady."

I look over to Leto and see that she is in deep thought about the subject.

"I will join you and your cause cousin, Lord Kronos is a monster that ate his own children to protect his power and must be stopped" Leto said with conviction in her voice.

"As one of the Olympians I, Carolos, accept your vow to join our cause Leto, daughter of Koios and Pheobe."

She nods and smiles, which makes me blush so I turn my head to try and hide it. I clear my throat and speak, "Let's head to the throne room and check on my siblings."

**Zeus' POV:**

"Well what do we have here?" Koios asked as he drew his sword.

I step forward, "My name is Zeus, sixth child of Kronos and Rhea and these are my older siblings."

Koios smirks at that, "Always knew Kronos would be the cause of his own destruction."

I raised an eyebrow at his words which causes him to laugh.

"Nephew, I'm the Titan of Farsight, I knew the day would come when Kronos' actions would result in his own children rising up against him. But I will not just lay down and accept death. Come godlings; let me see your strength."

With that said he swung his sword and I barley raised my blade in time to block the swing. I was put on the defensive quickly and it was everything I could do to block Koios strikes. I noticed my siblings were doing well against the monsters while Hades was battling Lelantos and was winning.

"I must say nephew so far I'm not impressed by your showing."

I growl and take a swing at his head that is easily blocked.

"Where is my dear nephew Carolos? I am so looking forward to seeing him die" Koios says with a laugh.

I swing my sword again which of course is blocked but besides following up with his sword Koios used his hand to shoot a beam of energy at me, sending me crashing into the back wall. I look up and Koios is bringing his sword down to finish me off when suddenly he is cracked upside the head with a spear. He stumbles backwards while Hera takes a defensive position in front of me.

"Get up brother, none of us are dying today" Hera exclaims.

Before I can reply Koios charges at Hera and the two are in a struggle. Koios disarms Hera and brings his sword up to kill her but I grab my sword and swing it at Koios' arm and I manage to take off his arm from the elbow down. Koios howls in pain for a moment before a spear is thrust into his mouth and out the back of his throat. Hera holds her spear tightly and we watch as Koios dissolves into golden dust.

"The first of many Titans that will fall in this war" I say as we turn to help our siblings finish off the rest of the monsters. I look at my siblings to see the monsters were all dead or had fled and that Hades was standing near the pile of dust that use to be Lelantos. Suddenly a door is thrown off its hinges by a tremendous force. We all raise our weapon but lower them when we notice our little brother.

"Nice of you to join us baby brother" Demeter says which makes Cal grumble about not being a baby, which makes us all laugh.

I go to say something but stop when I notice the beautiful woman behind Cal. She has long auburn hair with beautiful blue eyes and her body was incredible. I see that Hades and Poseidon are thinking the same thing I am. Cal introduces us to this beautiful woman, Leto her name is, and I notice my little brothers blush every time he looks at her. Well it's safe to say that a fight for Leto's affection is going to be in our future but for now our focus needs to be on the war.

I spot a mortal servant, "You there mortal, do you know how to get to ?"

He stammers out an of course my lord. I write an official declaration of war, explaining what we had done her today and tell the servant to take it to our father. After he leaves Cal starts laughing.

"What's funny Cal?" Hestia asks.

"Nothing sister I was just thinking Tartarus of a good start."

We all laugh while I think, 'Tartarus of a good start indeed.'

**General POV:**

Kronos and his war council are in the Throne room discussing what to do since there has been no word from Prince Carolos and the fact that some titans and gods have all but disappeared. The conversation is getting nowhere until a mortal servant enters and hands a scroll to Kronos. After reading the scroll, Kronos' face morphs into one of fury and he kills the servant.

"What news my lord?" Prometheus asks.

"It seems we are at war with my seven children and their allies and they have killed Koios."

There are shocked faces all around that quickly turn into shouts of what to do with the gods.

"My lord did you say seven?" Iapetus asks.

"Yes my youngest son Carolos has turned traitor and joined his siblings." Kronos face is one of anger but inside he is full of sorrow that the son he raised would do this to him. 'His bitch mother must have manipulated him; I knew I should have not let him get so close to her.'

More shouting occurs at the declaration of the prince turning traitor unitl Kronos slams his scythe into the ground.

"With Carolos gone, I need a new general" he pauses, "Atlas will you command my armies?"

Atlas kneels, "Of course my lord and I will personally bring you the head of the traitor Carolos" Atlas declares happy at the thought of being able to kill Carolos when the time came.

"Very well, prepare yourselves for war, time to show these gods what happens when they mess with titans" Kronos says.

He will capture all of his children and break their spirits before returning them to their prison, but his youngest two would receive even worse, especially Carolos, the child he loved that had betrayed his trust and love. The war between the titans and the gods had officially began.

	5. The Symbols of Power

**Disclaimer: PJATO belongs to Rick Riordan, I am just writing for fun.**

**Hera's POV:**

Ten years. We have been waging war against our father and his followers for ten years. After our initial victory over Koios many Titans and Gods rallied to our side and initially the war went in our favor. But the Titans army struck back and they struck back hard. We waged a massive battle at the base of Mt. Pelion, practically in our backyard. The Titans caught us by surprise, but we managed a defense before they scattered our army and had an uncontested route to Mt. Olympus. Hestia was almost captured by Hyperion, but Poseidon managed to rescue her. Hyperion stabbed him and went to cut off his head but Hades and Carolos arrived in time and Hyperion was outmatched by the two, so he disappeared before he could be killed or captured. That battle was a year ago, and since that time, there has been no activity by either army. Poseidon has healed and we have secured our defenses and sat in hundreds of stupid war meetings, which is where I find myself at now.

Zeus and Metis are talking about some strategy while the rest of us are just 'listening'. These past ten years have changed all of us so much. Hestia has let her hair grow down to her lower back but still wears that same sweet smile. She is still the least aggressive and outspoken of us, but is not afraid to put an end to our arguments, reminding us that she is indeed the eldest sibling. Hades has let his hair grow long and is now sporting a beard. He does not speak often but when he does it is usually a sarcastic comment which causes a fight between Zeus, Poseidon, and himself. Demeter wears her hair braided with different flowers in it. She is still shy and does not speak often but when you set her off, Fates be with you because that woman knows she can rant. Poseidon has a headful of shaggy hair and a close cropped beard. He is still that silly goofball that he has always been. Seeing the terrifying being he becomes in battle is still shocking. Zeus hair is a little past his shoulders and he has a bushy beard. He has let his command go to his head. He has been trying to woo Metis but she keeps denying his advances. The rest of us find it funny and we always have a good laugh when she shoots him down. Carolos is the most difficult of my siblings to place. His hair is at his shoulders and he is sporting a close cropped beard. He shares characteristics from all of his older brothers, like Hades' sarcasm, Poseidon's goofiness, and Zeus' commanding aura and of course the temper that all seven of us share. Cal is still terrible at talking to women. We all share a good laugh at our baby brother whenever he has to talk to a woman outside of giving commands. Whenever he tries talking to Leto is the funniest, he freezes up and barley manages to stutter out a "Hey Leto" then runs away. I caught him giving himself a pep talk once, so he could finally manage a conversation with Leto, that boy is sad.

"Something funny sis?" Cal says breaking me out of my thoughts.

He smirks, knowing I was not paying attention before deciding to bring it to the room's attention thus making Zeus and Metis give me angry looks. Well if he is going to embarrass me, two can play at that game.

"Nothing baby brother just remembering yourself pep talk to work up your courage to talk to Leto."

Cal blushes and we all share a laugh at his expense.

"Oh he- he- hey Leto" Poseidon does an impression of Cal, which just gets all of us roaring in laughter.

"Older siblings are such a pain" Cal mumbles and that just sets our laughs off again. Well at least until Metis gasps.

"What is it Metis?" Zeus asks.

"That's how we beat the Titans" Metis exclaimed with a smile on her face.

"How?" Demeter asks the question we are all thinking.

"Simple we release the Titans elder siblings from their prisons and get them to join us."

"Yeah great plan Metis but you forgot a few important details" Cal states.

"Like what Carolos?" Metis spits, she hates when someone questions her brilliance.

"Like how the Tartarus are we going to free them?!" Cal practically yells at her.

"Everyone calm down, now brother explain what you mean." Zeus calmly states.

"Well the Hekatonkheire and Elder Cyclopes are trapped in Tartarus and are being guarded by Kampe." Cal states.

"Who is Kampe?" Poseidon asks.

"Kampe is only the second worst monster to ever come into being. She is mostly a dragon with a huge scorpion tail, which has extremely powerful venom, and to top it all off she has two deadly scimitars coated in the venom." Cal says and visible shutters.

"Well if that's" Zeus starts but is interrupted by Cal.

"Oh yeah the only entrance to Tartarus is in the Underworld, which is ruled by Iapetus, who has legions of monsters on his side and is the greatest wielder of the spear on the planet."

"Better than you Cal?" Hestia asks.

"Uncle Iapetus taught me how to fight" Cal states sadly. We all slightly glare at him for referring to him as uncle. Because of what happened to us eldest Gods we do not refer to the Titans as family, except for mother of course, but Carolos does and it has caused a small sore spot between us.

"The risk is great but the reward will be worth it in the end" Metis says with complete conviction in her voice.

Cal sighs but nods his head in agreement.

"You're right as usual Metis, but here is how this is going to happen" Cal draws our attention to the war table.

"Metis you and my sisters will move our army as close to Mt. Othrys as you can without provoking an attack. While you do that my brothers and I will sneak into the Underworld" Cal orders in his commanding tone.

"Why do we need to move the army brother, if we are not going to attack?" I ask.

"That's brilliant Carolos, we will draw their attention while you four sneak into the Underworld, and if luck is on our side Iapetus may be called from the Underworld to defend Mt. Othrys." Metis exclaims with excitement.

Cal smirks, "My thoughts exactly."

Cal looks at all of us for conformation and we all nod our consent.

"Very well Metis have the army ready to march at dawn and the rest of us should get some rest." Cal orders never taking his eyes off the map on the war table.

"Of course my lord" Metis says with a bow and leaves.

We all leave the room except Cal who hasn't moved. I walk back to him and loop my arm through his.

"What's wrong Cal?"

He lets out a sigh before pulling me into his strong arms for a hug. I snuggle into his broad chest before he speaks.

"This is dangerous sis, Kampe alone is dangerous enough, but add Iapetus and it only gets worse, not to mention the fact that the Titans may attack you guys while we are gone."

I pull his chin down so we are looking each other in the eyes.

"Don't worry about us brother, we can handle things."

"Sorry sis I'm always worried about you guys" he says with a sad smile.

I lean up and kiss his cheek, "You take care of yourself Cal and you come back to us."

He smiles and kisses the top of my head, "Of course Lady Hera."

With that he releases me and we both head to our rooms to get some rest.

**Carolos' POV**

My brothers and I successfully snuck into the Underworld and are now crossing over the River Styx. Styx was one of the first allies mother secured for us, but she publically claims neutrality because she is married to the Titan Pallas, the titan of warfare. We swore to take Pallas alive on her river; we agreed all holy oaths be sworn on Styx's river as it is the river that separates the world of the living from the world of the dead. We continue our trek through the Underworld in silence before Poseidon decides to break it.

"Well this is officially the worst place I've ever been in."

"Even worse than father's stomach?" Hades asks with a smirk.

"Okay this is the second worse place I've ever been in."

We all share a laugh at this.

"Well when we win this war, one of us will be living down here." I inform my brothers.

"Pray tell what you mean brother?" Zeus asks.

"Father is Lord of the Cosmos and the Cosmos has four main domains: the heavens, the seas, the underworld, and time. When we depose father we will each claim a domain."

My brothers all nod their heads with thoughtful looks on their faces.

"How do we decide which domain goes to whom?" Hades asks.

"I'm sure the Fates will tell us when we win this war" I explain.

"True, but let us focus on the task at hand." Zeus commands.

We turn a corner and come face to face with Pallas and Menoetius, titan of anger and rash fullness.

"Well look at what we have here" Pallas says with smugness.

"Pallas, Menoetius surrender and you will be shown mercy" I say.

"Tempting but I think we will pass" Pallas says, the cocky smirk never leaving his face.

"You four will be brought before Lord Kronos and be made to suffer" Menoetius said anger clearly displayed on his face.

"But first, Carolos, Lord Iapetus has asked that you to go to his palace."

I nod my head, but cannot hide my worry about fighting my Uncle Iapetus. For one I'm not a hundred percent sure I can beat him and the thought of killing my teacher and the uncle who practically raised me rubs me the wrong way.

"Now you go we will entertain your brothers" Pallas says then quickly draws his sword and engages Poseidon in combat.

Menoetius charges Hades, but Hades blew him backwards with a blast of godly energy.

"You two continue on with the mission, Poseidon and I will deal with these two" Hades says as he blocks a swipe meant to decapitate him.

Zeus and I start running to the entrance of Tartarus. We are far enough away that we can no longer hear the sounds of our brothers fighting before we slow down.

"How much longer to Tartarus?" Zeus asks.

"It's a few more minutes that way, but this is where we part ways brother."

"What do you mean brother?"

"You heard Pallas, Iapetus has requested my presences and it's rude to refuse the Lord of the Dead."

"What about Kampe?"

I place my hands on Zeus' shoulders, "You can do this brother, I have faith in you."

Zeus just looks at me before nodding his head. We share a quick brotherly hug and take the paths for the next steps in our destiny.

**Hades' POV**

This titan is fighting so angry and it's making beating him incredible easy. I look over at Poseidon, who is struggling with Pallas. I could tell Poseidon was holding back, we did have to capture Pallas for Styx. Menoetius swung with all his might at my head in a horizontal swing. I duck my head and bring my sword up and then hear the titan scream. My sword has sliced through his arms and taking the forearms down off. I quickly follow with a stab through his heart and watch with satisfaction as the titan dissolves into dust. I turn my attention to my brother to see that Pallas and he are deadlocked in their fight. I quickly blast Pallas with godly energy and he slams into a wall. Pallas was clearly not expecting the blow so it took him a few seconds to get his bearings, seconds he would not be getting. Poseidon slammed the hilt of his blade into Pallas head and rendered the titan unconscious. I snap my fingers and the titan is encased in celestial bronze chains.

"Took you long enough brother" Poseidon said as he came to stand beside me.

"What are you talking about? I got mine, he was yours."

"You try fighting and holding back, it's not easy."

I just smirk at him and we share a laugh.

"Bravo my lords" Styx says as she appears out of nowhere. I nod my head and give Styx a look over. She is beautiful, she has long raven black hair, an abundant bust, and curves for days.

"It's rude to stare my lords" Styx says in a teasing voice, which makes me and Poseidon look away. Styx just laughs and walks to her husband, while swaying her hips very seductively.

"I'll take him to the prisons on Olympus my lords and thank you."

Poseidon and I nod our consent so she flashes out with the captured titan.

"Well should we help our brothers" Poseidon asks.

I wave my hand and make a chair appear and take a seat.

"No they are big boys they can handle it, besides we should stay here in case the titans send reinforcements." I say in a joking manner.

Poseidon just laughs and conjures up his own chair.

"So that Styx is a nice eyeful" Poseidon says.

"Indeed little brother, but remember I saw her first" I reply with a smirk.

We swap war stories of our conquest of the women in our ranks. Poseidon and I have both had our way with quite a few of the female titans and goddess, but neither one of us has found one we want to make a wife. We both share our knowledge of Zeus' conquest, which are numerous and we share a laugh at his failure to woo Metis. I ask if he knows of any of Cal's conquest and Poseidon does not know of any.

"Well it's not surprising, have you seen him try to talk to a woman outside of giving commands."

We share a laugh, both of us and Zeus are natural ladies men, but our baby brother is terrible at it. Suddenly what sounds like a stampede is heard and Poseidon and I get in battle ready stances. Zeus appears and behind him are the largest creatures I have ever seen. There are three Cyclopes that dwarf any Cyclopes that our father commands and there were three other creatures that I've never seen before. They each have hundreds of hands and heads and were at least thirty feet tall. When they saw us they kneeled and said, "My lords."

I make the motion for them to rise and turn my attention towards Zeus.

"Good work brother, where is Carolos?"

"I thought he would be here already."

"No he left with you, that's the last we've seen of him" Poseidon says.

"We need to go look for him" I say with a slight hint of worry.

"No need here I am" Carolos says as he approaches us. He has a massive wound on his side and bruises and cuts all over him. What worries me most is the depressed look he has on his face.

"What happened Cal?" Poseidon asks in a concerned tone.

Cal drops his head so we can't see his face, "Nothing let's get back to the army."

With that the four of us focus our powers and flash ourselves and our newly acquired allies to our army camp.

**Zeus' POV: Before reuniting with Brothers**

I went in the direction that Cal pointed out and found myself at the entrance of Tartarus. I could feel the evil drifting up from the pit and did my best to repress the shudder I felt. Before I could focus on it too long I heard a screech so loud it hurt my ears. I turn towards the sound and almost drop my sword at the terrifying sight. My brother failed to describe how awful Kampe truly was. She was how he described but she was also a hundred times more horrible then I could imagine. She smiled evilly at my fear and took out her two swords which gave off a green hue thanks to the venomous coating. I tightened my grip on my sword and brought up my shield. Kampe was quick and brought her blades down with a tremendous amount of force. The force behind her strike jarred me to my bones, but I was able to keep up my defense. I made a mental note to thank my little brother later; all those sessions of him pounding on me with his colossal strength are really paying off in this fight. I got drawn into a weapons lock with the monster and suddenly felt tremendous pain on my shield arm. I forgot about the animal heads on Kampe's belt and paid the price as a bear like creature crunched down on my arm. The pain caused me to drop my shield and back away from the monster. I had to think quickly or this creature was going to kill me. I looked around and noticed a rather large pile of loose rocks up on a cliff at my back. I backed up against the cliff and pretended like I could not fight anymore and the monster lunged for the kill shot. I rolled under the blow at the last second and saw my plan had succeeded. Kampe's swords became stuck in the cliffside and as she tried to remove them I shot a blast of godly energy at the top of the cliff and watched in satisfaction as the resulting landslide crushed the monster. I stood there for a few seconds to gather my bearings when suddenly the rock pile moved and to my horror Kampe crawled out. She was severely injured and was bleeding ichor everywhere. I raised my sword and decapitated the horrendous fiend who exploded into golden dust and slime.

"Not a bad showing little god" a voice sounded from what seemed like all around me.

"Who is there?" I said with confidence in my voice, but I knew I wouldn't be able to put up much of a fight.

"I am Tartarus, little god and I understand you have business with me" the voice roared.

Even though I hated too, even I am not foolish enough to not bow in the presences of a Primordial.

"Lord Tartarus, I request the release of the Hekatonkheire and the Elder Cyclopes, so they can assist us Olympians in our fight against the Titans.

Tartarus hummed like the idea amused him, "And tell me little god, why I should give up my prisoners and not just drag you down into my pit."

Even though he was not physically here I did not doubt the Primordial could do it. I could not stop the fearful expression that crossed my face. Then suddenly an idea came to me.

"A prisoner exchange Lord Tartarus. In exchange for the Hekatonkheire and the Elder Cyclopes, when this war is over all the Titan prisoners of war will be given to you."

Tartarus hummed again but this time it seemed like in interest, "I do indeed hate Gaia's arrogant offspring" he hummed again in deep thought, "Very well little god I accept your exchange."

With that his presences left and in a its place a massive shadow rose from the pit and took the form of six massive beings. The hundred handed ones and the elder cyclopes kneeled at my feet before the largest of the group spoke.

"Are you the one who freed us?"

"Yes it was I."

If possible they all bowed even further, which felt great, before all six spoke in unison, "We are in your debt my lord, what can we do to repay you?"

I proceeded to tell them about our fight and they quickly agreed to fight against their traitorous brother Kronos.

"As one of the Olympians, I Zeus, accept your pledge of loyalty."

With that I led my newly acquired assets to where we came in to find Hades and Poseidon, but no sign of Carolos.

**Carolos' POV: Before reuniting with Brothers**

I entered the throne room, a room I was very familiar with. I had spent a lot of my childhood here.

"Carolos it has been a while since you last stepped in my throne room" my Uncle Iapetus said from his throne.

I looked into my uncles eyes and saw a look of acceptance in his eyes. Generally when we fight a Titan they are all cocky and smirking at us or giving us hateful expressions.

"Indeed it has uncle; I wish this meeting was under better circumstances."

"As do I my nephew."

"Uncle join us and help us overthrow my father and I promise you will be given a position of power in our new world" I pleaded.

My uncle took a deep breath, "Carolos would you betray your siblings?"

I sighed; I knew where this was going, "No."

"Then you have my answer nephew."

I nod my head and twist my ring to activate my shield. I retrieve my spear from my back and remove my cloak. I look up and see that my uncle is ready for battle as well.

"Before we begin, I want to say nephew that you were my best student and that I always thought of you as one of my own" my uncle says with acceptance in his voice.

I feel the tears gather in my eyes, "Know I hold no ill will against you and you have always been a father to me Uncle."

Iapetus nods at my words and I can see he is misty eyed as well. We take battle stances and I make the respectable motion of bowing my head to my master to which my master raises his spear above his head in recognition of my respect.

We circle each other for a few seconds before I take the initial strike. He catches it on his shield and carries out a counter strike which I block. We trade blows like this for a while and while we are both taking bruises and cuts, neither of us can gain the upper hand. We can predict each other's movements too easily so I decide to do something out of character. Instead of stabbing, I swing my spear and he raises his shield to catch it. He notices the hole I left in my defense and goes to capitalize on it. Seeing the spear headed for my side I drop my spear and grab the shaft of his. I was not fast enough and the tip pierced my side. Biting down my scream I bring my shield up on his spear and break his spear in two. He must have realized what I had planned as he rushed forward and pushed the part of his spear that was still in me deeper. I screamed in agony as I brought my shield down as hard as I could and hear a sickening crunch as my shield connects with Iapetus' head. Iapetus is clearly disoriented so I take a moment to look at my own wound. I am bleeding badly, not enough to die from, but still enough to cause problems if not treated soon. It doesn't seem like he pierced anything major. There is a little bit of the broken off shaft hanging out so I grab it and yank it out, and it hurts like Tartarus. I see stars for a moment before I recover. I look over at my uncle, who is losing ichor form his ears, mouth, eyes, and form where I struck him. I must have put enough force behind my blow to compress his brain, which means he won't live for another hour at the most.

He spits some ichor, "Well fought, it seems the student has surpassed the master."

I look at him in confusion before realization dawns on me; he wants me to end him.

"Even if I manage to defeat you nephew, which is unlikely given the extent the extent of my head pain, I would die from ichor loss within the hour, so from one warrior to another, don't let an old warrior die like that."

I understand where my uncle is coming from, we are warriors to die from blood loss would a great dishonor to us, if we are to die it should be from our opponents weapon. I pick up my spear with my good side and look at my uncle who nods. I drive my spear through his heart and watch as he dissolves into golden dust. My eyes get heavy with tears, but I know that now is not the time for crying, so I make my way back to my brothers.

**Line Break: At the God's army camp**

We flashed in with our new allies and were immediately met by our mother, sisters, and Metis.

"Thank the Fates you are alri-, Cal what's wrong?" Mother asked as she noticed my massive wound or it could have been the depressed look on my face.

"Nothing Mother, send a healer to my room, I'm retiring for the night."

With that I left, my brothers could handle debriefing our family and incorporating our new allies in the army. I make it to my room and remove my armor, which was difficult with an injury. An Oread, mountain nymph, showed up and began dressing my wound.

"You are dismissed" a voice from the doorway caught the nymphs and my attention. In the doorway stood Hera, whose face was caught somewhere between worried and angry.

"Of course my lady" the nymph said and bowed to the two of us before leaving. Hera took the nymphs place and finished dressing my wound and handed me some ambrosia, our godly food that pretty much cures everything.

"Are you okay Cal?" Hera asked in such a quite delicate voice.

"Yeah sis I feel much better thanks" I say and give her a small smile.

"I'm not talking about the wound Carolos."

I am not sure if I should tell her and show this weaker side of myself. Hera grabs my chin and makes me look at her before placing a kiss on my cheek.

"You can tell me anything Cal."

The loving and trusting look in her beautiful brown eyes makes the decision for me. I pour out my heart to her about the fight with Iapetus and the guilt I feel from killing someone I loved like a father. By the time I am done, I am crying without restraint, the guilt I have accumulated from war finally breaking free. Hera sits herself in my lap and brings my head to her chest.

"It's okay to cry Cal."

So I cry into my sisters' chest, where part of my brain notices how ample it is, for a few minutes, while Hera runs her fingers through my hair and whispers sweet nothings in my ear. I compose myself and look at my sister.

"Thank you so much sister, this means a lot to me."

"You can always confide in me Cal."

We notice at the same time that my body has reacted to the beautiful woman sitting on my lap, talk about awkward. Hera just giggles before getting out of my lap and gives me a kiss on the cheek, which last a little longer than it usually does, and walks out, with a "Good night little brother."

I move to my bed and lay down, "Well sleep is going to be 'hard' to come by tonight." I laugh at my own joke before I attempt some sleep. To prove my point I suddenly hear that my brothers all have 'company' tonight.

"It's going to be a long night.

**General POV: Several Months Later**

It had been several months since the sons of Kronos had rescued the Hekatonkheire and the Elder Cyclopes. In that time the Olympians had been camped out at the base of Mt. Othrys, cutting off the Titan stronghold from the rest of the world. Their recon had discovered that all the remaining Titans were there and were dug in for a long siege. Carolos had recovered from his wound and had developed several battle plans with Metis. The Gods were awaiting the return of the hundred handed ones and the elder cyclopes, who had went to Mt. Ida to do something they said would assure the Olympians victory. Iris had confirmed that they were on their way back and that they had an official presentation for the Olympians. The seven children of Kronos and Rhea were sitting in their makeshift thrones, surrounded by just about everyone in their army when they returned. The eldest of the Hekatonkheire, Briares, stepped forward while his brothers dropped to knees behind him.

"My Lords, my Ladies, forgive our absence but we have made the tools to assure your victory."

"And what would that be Briares?" Hades asked.

"Mighty weapons, Lord Hades, weapons that are superior to your father's scythe."

Everyone gaped at this; it was a well-known fact that Kronos possessed the mightiest weapon in the universe. Briares made a motion with one of his hands and his brothers stood up beside him.

"The Fates gave us glimpses at your future domains so we have made weapons accordingly."

He grabbed a metal cylinder and presented it to Zeus.

"For Lord Zeus we present you the Master Bolt, which will allow you to summon powerful blast of lightning and summon thunderstorms."

When Zeus grabbed the cylinder it came alive and changed into a shaft of pure energy.

Briares then grabbed a bronze helmet and presented it to Hades.

"For Lord Hades, we present you the Helm of Darkness, which will give you control over shadows and it induces a person's worst fears."

When Hades placed the helm on his head all the shadows gravitated to him and everyone was shuddering from their fears.

Briares then grabbed a bronze shaft that had three points and presented it to Poseidon.

"For Lord Poseidon, we present you the Trident, which will give you control over water and the ability to create earthquakes and hurricanes."

Poseidon grabbed the trident which grew several more feet and its power slammed into the surrounding people.

Briares then grabbed a bronze shaft and presented it to Carolos.

"For Lord Carolos, we present the Omega Spear, which will give you control over ice and snow and grants you the ability to cause winter storms."

Carolos grabbed the shaft which expanded into a long spear and had immense power rolling off of it.

The brothers looked at each other and nodded.

"We thank you for your mighty gifts Briares, you and your brothers have done well and will be rewarded greatly when we defeat the Titans." Zeus said which earned him a loud cheer from the assembled masses. The brothers raised their new weapons in the air and the cheering increased to deafening levels. The Gods now had the allies, skill, and weapons to overthrow their father, and the time was drawing near.

	6. Calm Before the Storm

**Disclaimer: Percy Jackson and the Olympians belongs to Rick Riordan. **

**Rhea's POV:**

My children took my advice and postponed the attack on the Titan stronghold for another day. The boys took their new weapons and have been experimenting with them. The power those weapons give off is frightening, but also inspire hope that their wielders can achieve anything. The weapons seem to know when they are in the others presences as they radiate more power. Braises explained to me that the weapons are designed that way, so that no force can stand up to my sons when they work together, but it limits their power individually, which would encourage the brothers to work together. Braises and I both know how brothers tend to fight over power, so he made the weapons like he did to discourage my sons from fighting each other.

"Are you alright mother?" my eldest Hestia asks.

I smile at her, "Of course my dear, just deep in thought about the future."

"Everything will change tomorrow" Hestia states matter of fact like.

"Yes it will my dear Hestia."

She smiles up at me with her beautiful smile. Kronos may be a monster, but I'll give him one thing he fathered some beautiful children. All three of my girls are visions of beauty and my boys are all ruggedly handsome. I shake my head at my eldest boy's behavior; they are all off in their tents with women. Hades is with Hecate again, Poseidon is with three nymphs, and Zeus has finally wooed Metis into his bed. They are all very active in their carnal relationships so I've had to use my powers as the Titan of Motherhood to make sure their various partners don't become pregnant. I of course want grandchildren but I would like for them to be born out of marriage unions and not because my children need to pleasure themselves. That reminds me I need to tell the children of their bastard brother, Chiron. Shaking my head free of my thoughts of Kronos' bastard son, I turn back to Hestia who has been joined by Demeter and Hera. I smile at my girls', all three of them as pure as the day they came into the world.

"What's got you all smiley mother?" Demeter asks.

"Just thinking about how much I love my children."

The three girls give me happy smiles at that. We make small talk for a while, which mainly centers on joking about the boys, before I decide to retire for the night. The girls and I head towards our tents, but we stop as we see Carolos is still in the command tent going over the war maps. I would never say it out loud, but Cal is so much like Kronos sometimes it's scary. They both are meticulous in planning and both can scheme for anything and can determine an opponent's thought process from their plans. Even though he inherited most of my features his thinking face makes him look just like his father.

"Do you think he even realizes its night outside?" Demeter asks.

"I doubt it; he gets so absorbed in those maps" Hestia replies.

"You girls go to bed, I'll make sure he gets there" I say.

"It's okay mother, I'll get him to go to bed" Hera says with a smile.

With that my eldest girls leave and Hera makes her way into the command tent. I watch my youngest daughter and youngest son interact with curiosity. Barely looking up from the map Cal smiles and opens his arms, which Hera enters and snuggles into his chest. Cal goes back to the map, but is now playing with his sisters' hair, while Hera looks content in his arms. Carolos has always had his crush on Leto, and I do mean from the first time he saw her, but I have noticed how it has waned, especially since the night he returned from the Underworld, and now I know why. Carolos is usually awful when it comes to women, but he is perfectly content with his sister. I decided I've spied enough and head to bed. Those two will give me beautiful grandchildren.

**Hera's POV:**

I enter the command tent which causes Cal to look up at me and smile. My heart sped up at that. He opens his arms and I don't hesitate to enter his embrace and snuggle into his chest. We have been in this position numerous times, but lately it has changed from comforting a sibling into something more. Cal starts playing with my hair and I sigh contently into his chest. We stay like that for a few moments before I speak.

"Carolos you need to sleep, we have a big day tomorrow."

"I know sis, just couldn't force myself to go there, especially with the racket our brothers are making."

I laugh at that, our brothers are rather loud love makers.

"Well I'm sure they are finished by now and you need to rest."

"Okay mom" Cal replies back sarcastically, so I smack his chest, which causes him to laugh.

"Come on and walk me to my tent" I say.

"Of course my Lady Hera" Cal says mockingly with a bow.

He offers me his arm, which I take, and we leave the command tent. As we make our way to my tent I give my baby brother a look over. His hair is now at his shoulders and he is sporting a close cropped beard. He has muscles that are absolutely beautiful and he rarely wears anything to cover his chest when not in battle. He is so hard, I mean just smacking him playfully hurts my hand, but his touch is so soft.

"It's not polite to stare my lady" Cal says with a smirk on his beautiful face.

I blush at the fact he caught me staring at his beautiful form, which causes him to laugh.

We walk a bit further in silence until we have reached my tent.

"Well we have arrived at your tent my lady" Cal says with a smile.

"Thank you my lord" I mockingly say and do a curtsey.

We share a laugh at my actions, before Cal says goodnight and turns to leave. I make a snap decision as my mouth opens before my brain has time to filter my words.

"Cal stay here with me tonight."

Cal stops in his tracks and turns to me with a look of shock on his face.

He recovers from his shock, "Is everything alright my Lady?" he asks with such concern and love it makes my heart skip a beat.

I grab his hand and pull him into my tent. Cal looks so shocked it's kind of funny and he is blushing something furious. I guide him to my bed.

"Lay down."

He gulps loudly but does what I say. I turn my back to him and go behind the divider to change into my sleeping gown. I step out from behind the divider and smile at the reaction I get from Cal. The gown is short and my thighs are showing, but my chest is where Cal's eyes are focused.

"It's not polite to stare my lord" I say with sarcasm, throwing his words from earlier back at him.

After what seems forever, as Cal stares my body up and down, he finally speaks, "You're beautiful Hera."

I blush at that praise, "Thank you Cal."

I lay down next to him. I place my head on his chest and he wraps an arm around my waist. We stay like that for a few minutes before I look up at him to discover him looking at me. We have a conversation with just our eyes and we both lean in and share out first kiss. This is absolute bliss and it's soft and loving. We break apart and catch our breath, our foreheads touching.

"Wow" we say at the same time which causes us to laugh.

We share another kiss and this time I take the initiative and force my tongue in his mouth. It catches Cal off guard, but he recovers quickly and soon our tongues are fighting for dominance. Next thing I know, Cal grabs my hips and flips our positions placing me beneath him. We continue to make out and I can feel Cal's arousal pressing into my hip. I reach down and grab it and squeeze lightly, which causes Cal to moan into my mouth. Without warning Cal breaks our kiss and lies back on his back at my side.

"Is something wrong Cal?" I ask with worry.

He draws in a big breath and releases it before speaking.

"No Hera, but we shouldn't do this."

"Why not?"

He blushes, "I want us to be married before we give into these feelings."

I just stare at him in shock before I stammer out, "Married?"

He looks away blushing, but then turns and looks at me with a look of determination and love.

"I can't deny it any longer Hera, I'm in love with you and when this war is finished I want you to be my wife."

I find myself at a loss for words so I smash my lips against his. He smiles at me.

"You don't have to give me an answer now Hera, I will propose properly later, but I just wanted you to know how I felt."

"Thank you Cal, and I'm in love with you too and I will give you the chance to propose properly after we when this war, even though the answer will be the same then" I say and give him a light kiss on the lips.

The smile on Cal's face is so large; it looks like it might split his face. I lay my head on his chest and feel him wrap his arms around me. Tomorrow we will be fighting a war, but for tonight I'm perfectly happy in the arms of the man I love.

	7. The Battle of Mt Othrys

**Disclaimer: Rick Riordan owns PJATO and the HOO. I am just writing for fun.**

**Kronos POV:**

Today is the day. Today is the day my children will storm my castle and try to kill me. I can taste the tension on the air and I don't like it. What is left of my war council suggested I go back in time and prevent this from happening. Why this would indeed fix my current problem, it would cause an even larger problem to occur as the Fates severely punish anyone who tampers with the timeline. I can hear Atlas bellowing out orders to what troops we have left. I make my way to my throne and sit down with my scythe in hand. I'm going to make my children come to me for our fight. Atlas' bellowing is getting louder as the feeling of battle becomes thicker in the air. We cannot win this fight, Tartarus we will be lucky to slow down my children's army. My children may get me today, but I will rise again and have my revenge. Being the Lord of Time I can somewhat see into the future, and while it is not as clear or powerful as the gift of prophecy, and I can see that if I fall today I will have a chance at vengeance. I'm jarred out of my thoughts by the sound of something heavy striking my castle walls.

"So it begins."

**General POV:**

The Olympians launched their assault at dawn and they struck hard. The Hundred Handed Ones and the Elder Cyclopes were chunking boulders and pulverizing the outer walls of the stronghold. The sons of Kronos stood at the head of the army waiting for the walls to fall so they could lead their armies into the breach and unleash Tartarus on their enemies. Carolos looked back at Hera and gave her a small smile which she returned.

"Today will be a day of days, today we will storm Kronos' mighty stronghold and cast down the tyrant king" Zeus yells to the army which earns him a sound of war cries. Cal looks at Zeus and makes a motion with his eyes that Zeus catches on too. Zeus raises his Master bolt and directed a massive bolt of lightning to shear off the peak of . The army cheered even louder at the display of power.

"Now that's how you cap off a speech brother" Cal said to his brother.

Zeus laughs, "Indeed brother."

After a constant beating the walls of the fortress collapse and the Olympian army surged through slaughtering everything in sight. The four brothers advanced together and the sheer power they radiated caused most to flee in terror and the brothers blasted anyone stupid enough to fight them. The brothers were about to enter the inner courtyard of the castle when they had to throw up a shield to stop a powerful blast of bright energy. After the light died down the brothers looked forward and standing in front of them was the Lord of Light, the Titan Hyperion.

"Well if it isn't Kronos' little bastards."

"Surrender now Hyperion and you shall be shown mercy" Carolos said.

"I think not nephew" he spat the word, "you will die here."

Cal smirked, "Brothers you remember the attack we have planned for father, I suggest we try it now."

The brothers all smirked evilly and began to focus their powers. Hades channeled power into his palms from the Helm of Darkness, while the other brothers channeled their power into their weapons. In synchronized movements the brothers shot the building power at the Titan. Sensing the massive power, Hyperion paled slightly and threw up a shield as the massive surge of power was unleashed upon him. The blast was so powerful it threw the four gods backwards and destroyed the inner walls, while throwing both armies off their feet. When the smoke cleared there was no sign of Hyperion, the only sign that he was ever present was the massive pile of golden dust in the newly formed crater.

"Well I say it works" Poseidon said.

"No you think" Hades replied back sarcastically.

The four brothers shared a laugh before they turned serious again.

"Come brothers, our father is dying to see us" Zeus said in a dark tone.

The brothers all smirked and made their way to the throne room doors. Just as they were about to open the doors, the ground started shaking and Cal smiled, he knew exactly what was happening.

"Running off so soon godlings?" Atlas taunted as he entered the courtyard, the ground shaking with his movements.

"Says the general who has abandoned his army to the slaughter" Carolos taunted back.

Atlas' eyes narrowed, "Traitor, I'm going to enjoy killing you."

Cal smiles and makes his way towards Atlas, "You three go ahead; this is a fight I've looked forward to for a long time."

"Are you sure brother?" Zeus asks.

Without ever looking at them, Cal replies, "Go."

The three brothers continue into the throne room leaving the two strongest beings in the universe alone.

**Carolos POV:**

"Just you and me Atlas and no one to stop us this time."

"That's right Carolos, mamas not here to protect you now" Atlas taunted.

"I'll tell you what Atlas let's settle this like men."

"What do you mean godling" Atlas spat at me.

"I mean no weapons, no armor, just your strength against my strength."

"Afraid that you can't best my skills with a weapon Carolos?" Atlas taunts me.

I smirk and hold up the Omega Spear and it coats its tip and my arm in a layer of ice. I see the subtle sign or fear in Atlas' face at the weapon powers.

"Not at all Atlas, I just wanted to settle it once and for all about which of us is truly the strongest."

Atlas has not taken his eyes off the Omega Spear.

I lift the spear so it is pointing at his face, "Decide now Titan or I will strike you down with the might of the Omega Spear."

My threat seemed to bring Atlas out of his trance and his cocky smirk returned to his face.

"I accept your terms Godling."

I stab the Omega Spear in the ground and ice starts spreading out around it. After removing my chest plate and cloak, I'm only in my warrior skirt and two celestial bronze vambraces, Atlas is dressed the same. We start circling each other and I throw him a cocky smile.

"Fight!"

With that I throw a cross at his face. He takes my punch and counters with an uppercut. Punching Atlas hurts but judging from his pained expression punching me does not feel too great either. We trade several more punches still trying to figure the others style out. We are both bruised severely and have ichor all over our faces from cuts and our busted knuckles. We both go in for a suplex and end up in a contest to overpower each other. I step on a rock which causes me to slightly lose my footing which Atlas capitalizes on as he wraps his arms around me and lifts me up and starts squeezing. I can't breathe and I'm sure my back is seconds from snapping like a twig. Atlas is smiling up cruelly at me with a cocky expression sure of his victory. I muster my strength and bring my hands up and slam each of palms on each side of his head. Instantly the pressure disappears as Atlas drops me and brings his hands up to his own head. I greedily gulp in large breaths and regain my bearings. After a minute of both of us getting our equilibriums back we both nod our heads as a sign to continue. Atlas throws a punch to my left and I go to counter, but realize too late that it was a feint. Atlas rushes me and lifts me from the ground running with me. My back slams into a wall with tremendous force and Tartarus does it hurt. I immediately bring up a knee and catch Atlas in the face and hear the crunching of his nose. I follow up with an uppercut and catch him square in the jaw. Atlas throws a powerful cross but I'm able to duck under it and his fist shatters the wall behind me. I throw a head butt and it pops him right in his broken nose. He yells but I offer no respite as I kick with all my might at his exposed chest and send him backwards with the satisfying sound of ribs breaking.

'Good that jerk got a few of mine when he had me in that bear hug.'

Atlas lands hard on the ground on the other side of the courtyard and I smile, sensing my impending victory. I hear cracking behind me so I turn around and my smile becomes a look of horror. The wall I slammed against was no wall at all. It was the World Pillar and combined with me being slammed into it and Atlas' powerful punch the pillar is cracking under the weight of the sky. If the pillar collapses then everything in the immediate area will be crushed by the sky instantly, with the rest of the world following shortly. There is only one thing to do and I make the decision just as the pillar gives out from the weight. I catch the vortex that is the sky and place the burden on my back. With my strength, I've never lifted anything that was too heavy but the sky was proving otherwise. With my strength and stamina already low from my injuries and fighting with Atlas, the sky's weight makes me take a knee almost automatically. I hear bellowing laughter and look up and see Atlas smiling cruelly at me.

"Your father wanted to imprison you all inside him again but I think this is a much better prison for you, O mighty Carolos."

I glare at him but I cannot do anything and Atlas knows it. Atlas draws closer and punches me in the face, which caught me off guard.

"Now I believe I will join the battle and capture those pretty sisters of yours. They will provide excellent entertainment for me."

I growl, "If you touch them I'll"

"You'll what, you are trapped under the sky forever little godling" Atlas laughs and turns to leave.

"Well this one saved me the trouble of having to find her" Atlas bellows with laughter.

I wonder what he means and I look to where he is facing and see something that makes me terrified.

My oldest sister, Hestia, at the entrance of the courtyard in a battle ready stance to fight Atlas.

**Hestias POV:**

Our army is slaughtering the opposition and we are close to achieving victory. I hate that we could not persuade my father's followers to surrender. I watched my brothers destroy Hyperion and continue to make their way to our father. After picking myself up from that massive blast of energy they used I surveyed my surroundings. Hera and Demeter were fighting back to back and doing a number on the titan army. Just as I went to make my way to them, a sharp pain appeared in my head. A great amount of anger and distress is coming from my baby brother. Metis rushes to my side.

"What's wrong Hestia?"

"Something is wrong with Carolos."

I straighten up, "Metis make sure we take care of things here and I'll go check on Cal."

"Of course my lady."

I look to see Hera and Demeter are trying to fight their way to where I felt Carolos' distress coming from; obviously they had felt it too. They were surrounded by monsters and a minor titan, so I could not expect any help from them. So I made my way to my baby brother. When I made it to what I assume used to be the inner courtyard I see Carolos on one knee holding up what appears to be a huge black vortex. He looks in pain and it appears the vortex would crush him at any moment. In front of Carolos is the most massive titan I have ever seen. He is more muscled than Carolos, so I'm sure that this is Atlas. I lift my spear and assume a battle ready stance. That's when the titan turns around.

"Well this one saved me the trouble of having to find her" the titan bellows with a laugh.

Carolos looks up at his words and upon seeing me his face pales dramatically.

"Run Hestia!" Carolos shouts out to me.

I ignore my baby brother and turn my attention to the titan.

"Release Carolos, Atlas and I will be merciful to you" I say in hopes to avoid a fight.

Atlas releases a bellowing laugh and actually has to put his hands on his knees to prevent himself from falling over. I never lose my look of confidence though. After a minute of his laughter the titan finally straightens himself up and looks at me.

"Well thank you for the laugh godling, but now it's time to claim my prize" he says to me with a lustful look at me.

My body shutters with horror at the implications of his words and I can hear Cal shouting all kinds of curses at the titan. I lift my spear and point it at the titan who in response just laughs again.

"Put down your weapon little godling and I promise you will have an enjoyable life being my little harem girl."

He starts to look at me lecherously again so I stab my spear forward. Atlas reacts just in the nick of time, so besides piercing his heart like I aimed for he sidesteps and I cut a large gash in his chest. Ichor starts pouring out of his wound and he stumbles back.

He looks at me in anger now, "For that little bitch, you will not enjoy what I have planned for you for tonight or any of the other nights for the rest of eternity."

With that he swings his massive fist at me, which hits my shield I have thrown up to defend myself. Atlas fist connects with my shield and makes a huge dent in the bronze. Atlas keeps pounding away at my shield and I know it is not going to last much longer so I swing my spear at his feet and hear the sound of metal slicing through skin. Atlas bellows out in pain and takes a step back. I had sliced his shin area. I take advantage of my reprieve and toss my useless shield away and stab at the titan. My spear pierces his stomach and I adorn a slight smile, but only for the moment as Atlas catches the spear before it can enter any further. I push with all my might but that's not much compared to Atlas' strength. To my horror Atlas puts his other hand on the spear and snaps it in half. He is in obvious pain but he still takes the time to taunt me.

"What will you do now little goddess, no weapon, no shield, and no brothers to come save you."

I try to think of anything I can do to win this fight but I am coming up with nothing and that's when I feel Carolos make a mental connection with me.

"Hestia grab the Omega Spear" Cal says in my head.

"I thought no one but you four could touch your weapons" I reply back.

"I'm giving you permission Hestia; use its power to defeat Atlas."

I still look worried but Cal gives me an encouraging smile through his pain. I look over at Atlas who has removed the spear from his midsection and is recovering from its removal. I run over to where my brother's mighty weapon is stuck in the ground. The power this weapon puts off is unreal and it makes me slightly timid to touch it.

"You can do it sister, have faith" I hear Carolos in my head again.

I grab the weapon and instantly I feel the power flowing through it into me.

"That's a man's weapon little goddess, you had better put it down before you get hurt" Atlas mocks me as he starts making his way towards me.

I point the weapon at him and Atlas loses his cocky smile and actually looks scared for a second before schooling his features to a passive face. I channel power into the weapon and it shoots a blast of ice at the titan. Atlas yells out in pain as the ice cuts him deeply.

'Wow this weapon is powerful, would be cooler if it shot fire though.'

I charge the weapon again and shoot more ice at Atlas but he rolls out of the way. That gives me an idea about how to end this fight and save my brother. I keep firing blast of ice at Atlas until he has rolled his way over to where he is standing in front of Carolos.

"For someone who claims to be the mightiest being in the universe, you sure seem to be on the run from one little goddess" Cal mocks at Atlas.

Atlas loses his focus on me for a spilt second but that is all I needed as I launch the most powerful blast I can from my hand. Atlas expecting the blast to come from the spear, having not seen me gather the energy in my hand thanks to Cal's distraction, was caught off guard and rolled right into the blast which threw him backwards into Cal. Cal is dislodged from under the black vortex and thrown backwards while the black vortex finds itself on Atlas' back who as soon as he realizes what is on him, lifts the vortex to his shoulders. Carolos comes to stand next to me and I look at him, he looks tired beyond all belief. Next thing I know I'm wrapped up in my brothers arms being crushed into his massive chest.

"Thank you so much sister" Cal says into my hair as he continues his death grip of a hug on me.

I giggle at him and give him a kiss on the cheek when he releases me from the hug. We both look at Atlas and Cal quickly adopts a look of pure cockiness.

"You got two squares of ambrosia sis?"

I give him the ambrosia and watch as he eats one and while he does not look completely healed he looks much better then when he first got out from under the vortex. He then takes the other ambrosia square and heads towards Atlas. Cal grabs Atlas nose and twist it forcing a painful yell from the titan. During the screaming, Cal tosses the ambrosia square in the titans' mouth who then begins to choke on it. The ambrosia melts in Atlas mouth I assume as he stops choking and greedily draws in large amounts of air. Like Cal, Atlas does not look fully healed but he does not look in danger of passing out from pain.

"Mighty Atlas defeated by a goddess, it will forever go down in the history of our world that Hestia forced the might Bane of the Olympians to hold up the sky for all eternity" Carolos says which makes Atlas adopt a look of rage.

I look at Carolos in confusion at his words and he goes on to explain that the vortex is the sky and that it must be separated from the earth to keep it from crushing everything on the earth. He turns back to Atlas and slaps him across the face.

"Make sure not to pass out under there o mighty Atlas" Cal taunts the titan.

"I'm going to" Atlas starts but is cut off by Cal.

"What are you going to do?" Cal smirks. "Don't worry Atlas; I'll take 'special' care of all your lovely daughters."

Atlas bellows in rage and I look at my baby brother in shock.

"Don't look so shocked sis, I'm just messing with Atlas" Cal says mentally to me.

"You had me worried for a moment brother" I reply back telepathically.

"I wouldn't do that to a woman, but I got to say that that Calypso sure is easy on the eyes and don't even get me started on the Hesperides."

"This telepathic conversation is over" I say as I shut off our mental connection.

Cal just laughs and wraps me up in a hug, "Come on sis we have a war to win."

**General POV: Kronos' Throne Room**

The three eldest sons of Kronos burst into their father's throne room where they find their father sitting on his throne with his scythe in hand.

"I must say some part of me is proud at what you children have accomplished" Kronos says as he eyes his three eldest sons.

"Surrender Father and we will make your end quick" Zeus bellows out.

Kronos smirks like he finds the idea amusing.

"Hades and Poseidon, you two look different without being covered in my vomit" the titan joked.

The two mentioned brother's anger grows and their auras grow more powerful. Kronos eyes the three weapons of his sons and could not help but be in awe of their power.

"Now where is my youngest, did he not want to see his dear father?"

"Enough of this, rise from your throne and fight us Kronos!" Zeus shouts.

Kronos just glares at his sons until he is forcibly removed from his throne by Zeus' bolt. The three brothers closed in quickly but to their surprise Kronos recovered quickly and swung his scythe in a wide arc. Poseidon brought up his trident and blocked the scythe. Hades brought his sword down but was shocked when Kronos raised the handle of his scythe and blocked the strike. Zeus fired off another blast of his bolt and caught his father square in the chest. The bolt threw Kronos against the back wall hard. It was in that moment that Kronos knew he could not single handily stop his three sons. Before he could regain his bearings a powerful stream of water and shadows slammed into him. Kronos tried to rise again but he would not be able to defend himself in time as his three sons all raised their weapons to finish him off. Just as the brothers go to finish off their father they are knocked off their feet by a powerful blast from their side. Kronos looks to the blast origin and smiles as he sees his brother Krios.

"Great timing as usual Krios" Kronos said as he picked up his scythe and stood next to his brother. Krios, Titan of Constellations and Stars, Lord of the South, nodded to his brother.

"Looked like you needed a hand."

The three gods recovered and stood side by side. As if some unseen signal had been given, Hades and Zeus charged at Kronos while Poseidon engaged Krios. Krios caught the trident swing with his sword but didn't notice it was between two of the prongs. Poseidon forced Krios sword down and in the same motion brought up the handle of the trident and slammed it into Krios' head. Then with fluid like motion Poseidon followed up with a solid kick to the titan's chest. He then raised his trident and fired a powerful blast of water which slammed the titan against a wall rendering him unconscious. Poseidon snapped his fingers and the titan was wrapped in celestial bronze chains. When Poseidon turned towards the other fight he froze in horror.

**Line Break – other fight**

The Titan Lord was putting up a much better fight now that it was not three on one. He was able to counter all the blows his sons threw and managed a little offense. He threw a quick glance and noticed his brother was doing poorly against Poseidon. Knowing he could not beat all three of his sons he decided now was the time to break out his full arsenal. Kronos slammed his scythe on the ground and looked on in glee as Hades and Zeus froze in place. Hades was about to slice off his father's arm when suddenly it felt like his body froze. He looked and noticed the golden glow in his father's eyes and Kronos smug grin.

'Oh no we are stuck in a time spell' Hades thought.

If he and Zeus could channel enough power outwards they would be able to break the time spell, but that would take a few seconds, seconds they did not have. Kronos swung his scythe in an arc that would cut Hades and Zeus in half in one swing. Zeus closed his eyes as he prepared for the worst, but shot them open when Kronos bellowed out in agony. Poseidon stabbed his father as hard as he could with his trident and he managed to drive most of the tridents head into his side. Kronos dropped his scythe and screamed even louder as Poseidon jerked the trident free. Hades and Zeus broke the time spell and flanked Poseidon. The three brothers concentrated their powers again and blasted Kronos backwards. Kronos slammed into his throne's base and he could not find the strength to rise. Seeing that Kronos could not rise, Zeus grabbed his father's scythe and approached the defeated Titan Lord. Poseidon and Hades watched on as Zeus cut the Titan Lord to pieces with his own weapon. Kronos agonizing screams could be heard all over the mountainside. Zeus got lost in bloodlust and kept hacking and hacking away at his father's remains. The Goddess and Carolos arrived and watched Zeus cut up what assumed was once their father.

"Zeus that's enough" Cal's voice bellowed from behind him, which broke him from his battle trance.

Zeus nodded and handed the scythe to Cal. Carolos took his father's weapon and approached his father's throne. He raised the weapon above his head and brought it down with all his might and the throne exploded throwing Cal off the raised dais it sat on. Cal's siblings helped him up and they all looked towards their father's remains.

**Carolos POV:**

"What do we do now?" Demeter asked as we all looked at father's remains.

"The seven of us open a portal to Tartarus and cast what is left of Kronos into it."

My siblings nod their heads in acknowledgment and follow my lead as we all start chanting in the old tongue. The portal to Tartarus appeared and father's remains were sucked in and then the portal closed. We all stood there for a moment absorbing the fact that we did it we won.

"We did it, we actually did it" Hera exclaimed happily.

With that we all hugged and smiled and basked in the fact that we Olympians had cast down the Titan regime. After hugging everyone I realized I was still holding father's scythe. I eyed the weapon and could feel the massive amount of power coursing through it. While powerful I could feel father's evil inside the weapon and knew it had to be done away with.

"We need to destroy this" I state in a calm voice.

"How?" Zeus asks.

I smirk, "Hestia it's time for you to show us your power."

"What do you mean Cal?" all my siblings ask simultaneously.

"Hestia is Father's and Mother's firstborn child therefore giving her more raw power than any of us" I say to my siblings.

Everyone looks at me confused. I explain to them about how an immortals firstborn is born with incredible power and since Hestia was the firstborn of two immortals she was born with unbelievable power.

"Just focus your power into the weapon Hestia" I say as I hand the weapon to her.

Hestia takes the weapon and closes her eyes to focus her power. At first nothing happens, then the scythe seems to pulse then it melts into dust and scatters on the wind.

"Good now that that is done let's go give everyone the good news."

**General POV: **

The seven Olympians gave their army the good news and the resulting cheering could be heard for miles. Everyone was busy celebrating at the base of the mountain. The seven siblings were honored above all others and cheers of, "Lady Hestia, Lord Hades, Lady Demeter, Lord Poseidon, Lady Hera, Lord Zeus, and Lord Carolos" could be heard throughout the army. Rhea just looked on in pride as she watched her babies being honored by the masses. Carolos noticed his brothers were beginning to look for their perspective 'sleeping' partners and knew they had one last order of business for the day.

"Brothers and Sisters" Cal spoke with volume, to be heard by everyone, "we have one last order of business before we return to Olympus."

"And what business is that brother?" Zeus asked with a little attitude.

Metis had just given him the 'look' and Zeus was anxious to be alone with her.

"We have cast down our father and his regime and now we must destroy the last symbol of that regime; Kronos' palace."

As soon as he finished speaking a bright light appeared and when it dimmed the Fates were standing there. Everyone bowed to the three sisters.

"Lady Fates to what do we owe the pleasure?" Zeus asks.

"We are going to protect the garden of the Hesperides and Atlas as you destroy your father's palace" the powerful sisters spoke in unison.

Carolos turned to the army, "My friends you have done well, now return to Olympus and celebrate for tomorrow we shall have a grand award ceremony."

The assembled masses bowed to the Fates and the rulers of the cosmos before flashing away.

"Alright guys concentrate on your essence and channel it into your hands" Carolos instructed his siblings.

Once they had done as requested, Carolos raised his hands, which were pulsing with energy, and pointed them towards the palace. His siblings followed his aim and with a head nod from Carolos the seven siblings released the built up energy at the palace. About halfway there, something happened that not even Carolos had planned on happening. The seven energy blast merged into one and when it hit the palace the whole world was lit up and the gods had to erect shields to protect themselves. After several minutes, the light died down enough for the gods to see and what they saw astonished them. Where there was once a grand palace now there was nothing. Excluding the Hesperides garden, all the splendid gardens and statues had been completely vaporized by the seven sibling's raw energy.

"You have done well children of Kronos and Rhea, "the Fates spoke in unison, "now return to Olympus and celebrate, for tomorrow we shall return and assign you your domains."

With that said the Fates flashed out leaving the siblings. Right when the siblings went to flash out, Poseidon stopped and face palmed.

"What is it Poseidon?" Demeter asked.

"I forgot about Krios in the palace."

"Well I'll say he was blown away" Hades said.

All the siblings busted out laughing at Hades joke. The seven siblings flashed back to Olympus, laughing all the way.

	8. Domains

**Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson and the Olympians. Rick Riordan does, I am just writing for fun.**

**General POV:**

The day after the defeat of the Titans, the Olympians and their allies could be found in the throne room on Mt. Olympus. The seven children of Kronos and Rhea were each sitting on their thrones while their allies all stood around the room. The Olympians were each dressed in a chiton that matched their eye color. The thrones were in a straight line and the siblings sat in order of their birth. The Fates flashed in and everyone bowed to them.

"Before we determine your domains we have some unsettled matters to resolve" the Fates spoke as one.

"Come forth Oceanus" the Fates order and out of the crowd the Titan of the seas approached.

"Oceanus you remained neutral in the conflict between Olympus and Othrys so you shall be given a choice" the Fates say.

"What choice my lady Fates?" the titan asks.

"When the new lord of the seas is appointed you have the option to accept his rule and go into exile in a place of your choosing or you may return to your kingdom and prepare for war against Olympus."

Oceanus was furious; he could not believe that even though he choose to remain neutral, his domain was going to be given to one of Kronos' brats. He had the option of fighting, but he knew if his five brothers combined could not defeat Olympus then he had no chance alone.

"I will go into exile on one condition" the titan finally spoke.

"What condition is that?" Hestia asks from her throne.

"Whichever of Kronos' sons becomes lord of the seas must marry one of my daughters and make her queen of the seas."

"You are in no position to make demands titan!" Zeus bellowed from his throne.

"That is my condition and if it is not met then consider yourselves at war."

The four brothers looked at each other, none happy about a forced marriage but knew that another war was not the best way to start their rule, and even nodded his consent.

"We agree to your condition, but Uncle which daughter did you have in mind?" Carolos asks from his throne.

He had a calm expression on his face, but on the inside he was panicking. If he became lord of the seas he was going to be forced into a marriage and he was already sort of engaged engaged to Hera. The titan looked thoughtful for a moment, "You know my daughters nephew, I'll allow you to pick which one you think would make the best queen."

Carolos thought for a moment about the numerous daughters of Oceanus. All of them are beautiful so that was not much of a factor in his decision. Then Cal thought of his favorite of his cousins from Oceanus, Amphitrite. She was beautiful, a fighter and knew how to handle situations. She was only a year older than Carolos so they became fast friends. Carolos smiled and blushed at one memory he swore to Amphitrite he would never speak of to anyone. When they were younger, around the time of puberty for immortals, he had walked into her room to find her naked. He just stood there like an idiot and stared, well at least until she noticed and started yelling at him and throwing things at him. Carolos heard someone clearing their throat, bringing him out of his memories, and looked over to see everyone looking at him expectantly.

"Uncle I believe Amphitrite would make an excellent queen."

"Excellent decision nephew, "Oceanus said then turned his attention to the Fates.

"I, Oceanus, concede domain of the seas to the new chosen lord on the condition of his marriage to my daughter, Amphitrite, and I will exile myself to the deepest darkest abyss of the seas."

"Very well, now before we assign domains, the Olympians must choose one among themselves to serve as King or Queen of Olympus."

The seven siblings look at each other for a moment before nodding.

"I, Hestia, cast my vote for Zeus to become King of Olympus."

"I, Hades, cast my vote for Zeus to become King of Olympus."

"I, Demeter, cast my vote for Zeus to become King of Olympus."

"I, Poseidon, cast my vote for Zeus to become King of Olympus."

"I, Hera, cast my vote for Carolos to become King of Olympus."

Zeus threw a glare at his sister before speaking, "I, Zeus, cast my vote for myself to become King of Olympus."

Carolos rolled his eyes, 'did Zeus really just vote for himself', before speaking, "I, Carolos, cast my vote for Hestia to become Queen of Olympus."

"Very well the majority has spoken, Zeus shall become King of Olympus" the Fates declare.

The crowds cheer and Zeus stands basking in his applause while his siblings roll their eyes at his behavior.

"Thanks for the vote Hera, but Hestia should be Queen, she is the eldest" Carolos spoke in Hera's mind.

"That's true, but I think you would be a wonderful king" she replied back mentally.

"Doesn't have anything to do with wanting to be queen does it sis?" Carolos teased her.

Hera sent Cal a smile, "Of course not, but I would make a great queen."

"Be careful what you wish for sis."

Most people were unaware of the mental conversation, but Rhea could see her children's smiles and glances at each other so she guessed the two were mentally conversing. The vote did not surprise her; she knew her eldest children were extremely grateful to Zeus because he freed them from Kronos' stomach. All of her children were born to rule, and she was positive they would do a wonderful job at it, but she secretly hoped Carolos would be elected king. Rhea did not have any preference when it came to her children, well maybe slightly for Cal, but come on he was her baby, but she had hoped for Cal because he was raised in royalty and had been helping his father do kingly duties his whole live. Rhea was brought out of her musings when a large flash appeared and when it dissipated four bronze sticks were in the middle Fate's hand.

"Sons of Kronos come and draw a lot; this will determine which of the domains of the Cosmos you will rule over."

With that the brothers rose from their thrones and approached the Fates. Hades, Poseidon, and Carolos made the motion for Zeus to go first since he was king. Zeus drew a lot, Hades went next then Poseidon, and finally Carolos took the lot that was left.

"You may now be seated" the Fates said as soon as the lots were drew.

As soon as the brothers sat in their thrones a golden light hit the seven siblings and stayed on them for several seconds before dissipating.

The Fates spoke as one, "All hail Zeus, God of honor, justice, lightning, Lord of the skies and heavens, and King of Olympus."

"All hail Hades, God of wealth, the dead, and Lord of underworld."

"All hail Poseidon, God of destruction, earthquakes, hurricanes, storms, oceans, and Lord of the seas."

"All hail Carolos, God of ice, snow, strength, stamina, mountains, and Lord of time."

"All hail Hestia, Goddess of the hearth, home, family, and fire."

"All hail Demeter, Goddess of agriculture, fertility, sacred law, the harvest, and the seasons."

"All hail Hera, Goddess of marriage, home, family, motherhood, and women."

**Carolos POV:**

Wow! Out of all the domains to get I got time. I have nothing against time but it reminds me too much of father. Well it could be worse, poor Hades got the Underworld, which is the most demanding of the domains. Poseidon is officially engaged to a woman he does not even know, so like I said it could be worse.

"Now prepare Olympians, this will be discomforting" the Fates say breaking me out of my musings.

The Fates shot that same gold beam out of their hands and this time it slammed into us. I feel like my head is going to explode from the pressure it is being subjected to. That's when I feel my godly aura increase as I make my connection to my domains. I feel the cold places of the world, I sense the strength in the people around me, I feel all the nymphs connected to my domains, I feel the Ouare, beings that are and rule individual mountains, and the most powerful feeling I get is the ebb and flow of time. No wonder father felt invincible. I could literally see time and could manipulate its flow to my liking. 'Whoa, easy there boy, your father was just overthrown'.

The golden light finally died down and I hear everyone gasp. The aura coming off the seven of us is overwhelming and many people in the room subtly back away. The Fates wave their hands and our thrones appear in a new order. They were now in a reverse U shape with Zeus being in the middle with Hestia to his immediate right, with Demeter to her right, and Hera at her right. Hades was at Zeus immediate left, with Poseidon at his left, and me to his left.

"Lord Carolos stop time, we need to address the seven of you on a private matter" the Fates speak in my mind.

I grab the Omega Spear, and its aura explodes with raw power, before slamming its hilt on the ground. Everyone in the throne room is frozen except the Fates, my brothers and sisters, and me.

"Olympians since you hold the power to rule the cosmos you must anchor it somewhere."

"You mean like how Kronos tied his to his throne?" I ask.

"Precisely Lord Carolos."

The seven of us look at each other and we agree with looks to bind our powers to our thrones.

"We will bind our power to our thrones" Zeus speaks for all of us.

"Very well, but make sure to keep the throne room secure, because if your throne is destroyed you will be severely weakened."

The Fates then proceeded to instruct us on the ancient laws, which basically meant don't steal another gods symbol of power, don't trespass in another gods domain, and for me never do anything to alter the past or do anything to damage the timeline.

The Fates make the motion for me to resume time, but before I can Hera looks at me and gasps.

"Carolos why do you look different?"

I raise a questioning eyebrow and summon a mirror and look at my reflection with amazement. My hair has gone from its normal chocolate brown of my mother to the raven black of my father. The most shocking thing though is my ice blue eyes have turned to a startling golden. I look like so much like my father that it startles me. I resemble my brothers more now too. I make the mirror vanish and turn to Hera.

"I don't know sis."

The Fates speak up before she can reply, "Your hair changed colors to match your brothers as it serves as a status of your shared lordship. Your eyes will return to their normal color as soon as you resume time, and any time in the future where you are utilizing your time domain they will become gold as they are in tuned with the time stream."

'Well that was a very helpful explanation' I think before resuming time.

"My eyes back to normal?" I ask Hera through a mental link.

She smiles at me, "Back to their beautiful blue my love."

I smile at her and turn my attention back to the ceremony as the other gods and goddesses receive their domains.

I look back to Hera and find her looking at me, we share a smile and I can't help but be optimistic about the future.

	9. Our New World

**Disclaimer: I don't own Percy Jackson and the Olympians, that would be property of Rick Riordan.**

**Heras POV:**

It has been several years since we defeated the titan regime and claimed our domains. I would love to say that everything has been perfect since then but that of course would be a lie. Even though Oceanus surrendered peacefully the same could not be said for the other ocean spirits. Zeus had to tame some of the more rebellious sky and storm spirits. Hades has been nonstop busy with securing the Underworld. He has to make sure Tartarus is locked down, that the souls of the dead reach their proper resting place and so much more. Hades has been so busy he has missed several of the council meetings, Zeus requires us to have to discuss our domains. Carolos has been busy quelling rebellions from the Ouare, which are difficult fights according to Cal. He spends most of his time quelling these rebellions, because as Cal tells me, this world is full of mountains. Our relationship is as strong as ever, but he still has not asked me to marry him. Every time I ask him why he tells me that he is working on a special project for me before he asks me. The Fates informed me that since I was the Goddess of Marriage, the first man I was 'with' I would be bonded to for eternity. So on those rare nights that Cal and I sleep in the same bed I've slept naked. This has led to some intense making out and petting but Cal always stops himself from 'getting carried away' as he calls it. A part of me thinks it's sweet that he wants to wait until we are married, but another part is telling me to make him do me. Our brothers know nothing of our relationship, I think our sisters suspect something but I've yet to ask them, naturally our mother knows.

"What's got you thinking so hard?" a voice says from beside me startling me.

I look over to see Zeus sitting next to me with a smirk on his face.

"Hello Zeus, what can I do for you on this lovely day?" I ask gently.

He looks me up and down, 'is he checking me out?'

I clear my throat to break him out of his ogling.

"Oh nothing Hera, I was just walking about and saw you here alone so I thought I would offer my company."

"Well thank you brother, how is our queen fairing?"

"Metis is well" Zeus says with a smile on his face.

"What's got you so happy little brother?"

If even possible his smile grows even wider, "Metis is with child" he declares proudly.

I squeal and give him a hug, "Congratulations brother, this is wonderful news, the first of a new generation of Olympians." I could not but help and think of what mine and Carolos first born would look like.

Zeus smiles at me but then he looks distracted for a moment.

"If you will excuse me sister, I have someone I need to go see."

"Of course Zeus" and with that he flashed away.

I decide to focus on my domains, so I am caught by surprise when from behind me two strong arms wrap around me and lips are pressed to my neck.

"Hello beautiful" says that wonderful voice that belongs to the man I love.

"Hello to you as well my love" I say as I turn around in his arms and pull him in for a deep kiss.

We break apart and I look into those ice blue orbs that hold so much love and admiration when he looks at me. How could a girl not fall in love with a man that looks at her like that?

"So what is going on in that pretty little head of yours?" he asks placing a kiss to my temple.

"I was checking up on my domains."

"Ugh, don't mention domains" Cal says in his adorable pouty voice, which causes me to laugh.

"You are so cute when you pout, baby brother" I tease him.

"Don't call me baby brother" he pouts.

I laugh so hard at this which causes him to laugh with me. We eventually calm down and sit in one of the gardens on Olympus and talk about our days. Suddenly there is a massive bolt of lightning shot into the air, which means Zeus is calling us to an emergency council meeting.

"What do you think this is about?" Cal asks.

I just smile, "I don't want to ruin the surprise my love."

Cal rolls his beautiful eyes before picking me up bridal style and kissing me. As I go to deepen the kiss, he flashes out making me fall to the floor.

'He is so going to pay for that later.'

I flash to the throne room and am met with a sight I did not expect: our grandmother, Gaia, the primordial goddess of the earth.

**General POV: **

The seven Olympians were greeted by the sight of their powerful grandmother in their throne room. They all bowed, Zeus grudgingly so, to her.

"To what do we owe the pleasure Grandmother?" Carolos asked as he returned to his throne.

"I'm here to warn you of a danger to your thrones" Gaia stated bluntly.

"What threat" Zeus shouts while gripping the Master Bolt tighter.

"Calm down brother, I'm sure Grandmother is getting to that" Hestia says.

"The greatest of all monsters is headed to Olympus and seeks to destroy it."

Carolos paled when she said the 'greatest of all monsters' while praying 'please not him'.

Gaia smirked at her youngest grandchild's face, "Yes Carolos I speak of my son: Typhon."

All the gods paled at this, they had learned of Gaia's most powerful child from Metis. Typhon is the father of all monsters and was even feared by the Titan Lord Kronos.

"Why would he seek to destroy us Gaia?" Hades asks.

"Because Hades, I've instructed him to seek vengeance upon Olympus."

"What have we done to earn your wrath?" Demeter asks.

"What you did to my other children has angered me."

"You told us to overthrow the Titans!" Zeus yells at the earth mother.

"I'm not talking about the war you imbecile; I'm talking about afterwards when you sentenced them to Tartarus."

Carolos knew that his grandmother assisted them overthrow the Titan regime because Kronos had gone back on his promise to free the Hundred Handed Ones and Elder Cyclopes.

"What would you have us do Grandmother? Have the Titans free to run around causing chaos and always challenging our rule?" Cal asked.

"It matters not what they would do, but because of what you have done I have sent my most powerful son to destroy you. I only warn you, because of the love I bear towards your mother."

With that Gaia flashed out of the room.

After a moment of silence, Demeter spoke, "What can we do?"

"The only thing we can do, we fight" Cal stated.

"Can Typhon even be beaten?" Poseidon asks.

"Perhaps not but we will meet him in battle none the less. I refuse to sit here and wait to be destroyed." Zeus states with growing confidence.

"I think you four should seek refuge while we fight" Cal says to his three sisters and to Metis.

"What? You can't expect us to go hide while," Hera started but was cut off by Zeus.

"No he is right Hera; this is going to be dangerous."

The three sisters look determine to argue but Metis understands why she cannot fight. The four brothers talk their sisters down after much arguing.

"I'll take them to mother" Cal states making his way to his sisters and sister in law. They all join hands and flash away to the home of Rhea.

**Carolos POV:**

Well that could have gone better. As soon as we flashed out of the throne room, my sisters started yelling at me. I tune it out as best as I could as we head towards to the palace built in the base of Mt. Ida, my mother's abode. The Fates declared that the peaceful Titans had to have little to no impact on the world so most of them have homes hidden from the mortals or live on Olympus. Rhea lives in a palace created by Hades and I, since he rules everything under the earth and I rule mountains. My brother and I also protect the place with our power and only we seven can enter her home. Once I told Mother of our predicament she paled and almost fainted. Once she got her bearings back she went into full panic mode, ordering me to go get my brothers and hide from her monstrous half-brother. After arguing, Mother was letting me go. She said I was stubborn like my father, which I told her dad said I got it from her. She playfully slapped my head then gave me a kiss and a hug. I gave each of my sisters a hug, lingering a little longer with Hera, before flashing to Olympus to meet my brothers. I arrive back on Olympus and notice my brothers were all geared up for battle. I quickly flash on my own armor.

"Are we ready?" Zeus asks.

We all look at each other and nod our heads. When battle is upon us, Poseidon becomes quiet and serious while Hades' bored expression becomes extremely focused. We flash to the land that lays beyond the body of water the mortals call the Ionian Sea.

"What in the Fates name is that thing?" Poseidon yells pointing at a massive creature surrounded by a wall of storm clouds.

Trying my best to keep the fear out of my voice I answer, "The most powerful of the Earth Mother's children, the Storm Giant, the Father of all Monsters," I swallow the knot in my throat before finishing, "Typhon."

**A/N: Thanks for reading and special thanks to everyone who fav/followed and reviewed. And if you are curious the land they flashed to is Italy.**
