The greek throne room is the gathering place of the gods. The greek pantheon.
Zeus, the lord of the sky and king of the gods. Poseidon, the lord of the sea, father of horses and maker of earthquakes. Hera, goddess of marriage and the queen of the gods. Demeter goddess of farming, harvest and fertility. Ares god of war, son of zeus and his brother, Hephaestus god of the forge and fire. Athena the goddess of wisdom, warfare and skill, and Aphrodite goddess of love, beauty and desire. The twins Apollo, god of the sun, prophecies and truth, and Artemis, goddess of the hunt, the moon and childbirth. And finally Dionysus, the god of wine, party and festivities and Hermes god of traveling, writing, trade and so many more, along with being the messenger of the gods.
These were the 12 that occupied this room most of the time.
The room itself was made of marble and lined with gold. The light from the fires around the room lit up the room as the expensive marble reflected them all over the room. And in the throne room were 12 thrones.
They all looked to be carved out of one solid piece of marble, pain and white. But once each respective god sit on his or her throne, that was when it changed into what the divine wanted it to be.
And now this throne room was the area for the last battle in the titan war.
The once beautiful marble now laid in ruins. Cracks on their surface and dead plants on the floor. There were five people in the room, all of them were demigods, and one was possessed by a titan.
Willard, the satyr was knocked unconscious and laid on the floor of the throne room. He had used the last of his strength to summon vines to attack the intruder, but now they lay dead on the floor, and Willard knocked out.
One of the people awake was Sara Grace, daughter of Athena. Sara was up and fighting, but barely conscious. Every moment she fought with her body, forcing herself not to fall down and be beaten, but she was feeling the pain. Her leg was broken, a statue of Hera had fallen on her leg breaking her bone there. And now she had a cut right above her left eye, and the blood was dripping down threatening to blind her in one eye.
Then there was Yukio Nakamura, son of Nemesis. He was once the enemy, but now he had defected to fight for the defenders of Olympus. Yukio had struck the enemy, but the attack failed and now he was forced to defend against the reincarnated titan before him.
And the person in question was none other than Drake, Drake Vermilion. He was once a strong and powerful demigod, but now he was a twisted, vile possessed demigod. He had more power now, but at the cost of his free will. He was being possessed by Kronos, the titan of time, and together this unlikely duo has almost brought Olympus to its knees, but there was one person standing in their way.
And that was Rin Merlin. Rin was the only one who stood a chance against Kronos, Yukio was there, but he was more suited to defense than offense. And Sara was injured. Rin Merlin is the son of Poseidon, retriever of the lightning sword, and the golden fleece. The bearer of the sky and savior of Artemis.
And right now he was in for the fight of his life.
Rin slashed with his sword, Void Ripper, and with each swing of his sword he took one step back. Why? Because Drake swung his scythe, Backbiter, like a madman, but then again he was kind of mad.
"Stay still Merlin!" yelled out Kronos inside Drake, as he blocked a slash from Rin with the pole of his scythe and swung to only miss Rin again.
"Like hell I will you maniac," cried out Rin as he hopped on top of a raised layer of the floor, only to have Kronos follow him up with another swing of his scythe. Rin bent his back until he was almost parallel to the floor and then jumped and spun. He brought his sword up and swung it down vertically with all his might.
Kronos brought his scythe down just in time to block Rin's blade, but the force of the attack was felt. Kronos's legs buckled, and as the battle raged on Kronos felt himself being pushed back.
With a grunt Kronos kicked Rin in the gut sending him crashing into one of the thrones. His eyes shut in pain, but Rin pushed himself off the marble structure and got back up again. This was going on too long.
"Kronos, why are you doing this? Aren't the Olympians you're family?" cried out Rin hoping that he could sympathize with the Titan of time.
"HA!" he laughed out loud, "Never! These gods are nothing but spoiled brats! If I could I would spend an eternity killing every last one of them!"
"But they are your children! Is mistreating your kids a part of the family? Like does it run in the family? Like first you ate your kids, then your kids had us then began ignoring us! What the hell!?"
Kronos looked at Rin with squinted eyes, the golden orb flashed blue for a second, and suddenly Drake's voice said, "and that is why I fight Rin," said the body of the demigod/titan. He offered his hand, "come on Rin join me, together we will form a world where no father abandons his family or mother. We will be one and work as one."
For a moment Rin considered it, but then he realized the lie he would be living if he actually said yes. "No Drake that is not the way. Revenge is not the way. What we have to do is show them we are better, show them we can be great without their help!"
Drake closed his hand back and his eyes turned cold, he looked at Rin with hate and then broke out laughing maniacally, "HAHA very well Merlin! If you love these gods of you're so much! Then why don't you protect their thrones!"
Kronos lifted his scythe and out of the weapon 12 rays of light shot and hit the thrones. The marble which touched the light started turning into dust. Rin acted fast, "NO!" he charged at Kronos and knocked him down falling with him further down the throne room.
Rin quickly got back on his feet just as soon as he did Kronos was already up, and had knocked Void Ripper out of Rin's hands. Kronos grabbed Rin by the neck and lifted him with one hand.
"So here it ends, the supposed savior of Olympus at my mercy. Now, how to kill you? I'm not going to use Backbiter, no no no that is far too easy, lets see. Ah I know how about I make you fade?" At that a wide smile broke out on Kronos's face. He threw Rin back and he skid until he fell to the center of the room right next to the hearth.
"NO!" yelled Sara, she ran, or hopped in her case, at Kronos and swung her dagger hoping to get the titan, but almost out of reflex the titan reacted, he swung his blade and Sara was cut down at the waist.
Kronos turned and saw what had happened, and suddenly the golden eyes disappeared replaced with blue. "Sa-Sara?" asked Drake unknown to what he had down. He didn't mean to, not Sara, never Sara, but there she was holding the deep gash on her stomach.
"NO!" yelled Rin, Drake looked at Rin as he tried to get up and then something snapped.
"YOU!" yelled Drake, "you are the cause of all this MERLIN!" and then blue turned once more to gold and Kronos smirked.
The titan hit the ground with the butt of his staff and suddenly all the broken pieces of marble from the thrones, all the fine marble now sand, all flew up and like it was alive moved behind Kronos. He walked slowly to Rin the sand behind him following him like a soldier following a general.
Rin reached into his pocket and brought out a pen, he opened the cap, and there came Void Ripper. Rin held the blade in front of him, but his arms did not hold still. He was shaking, his fear taking over slowly.
"Put that down before you hurt yourself," smirked Kronos, he batted away Void Ripper and caught Rin by his throat again. Rin tried to resist, he kicked Kronos in the stomach and in the jaw, he also broke a rib with one of his punches, but it was not enough.
Kronos lifted him up into the air and swung his arm down smashing Rin into the already broken floor. Kronos looked Rin dead in the eye and said, "goodbye savior of Olympus, die by the power of those you serve."
Kronos let go of his weapon, it just stood there at attention, and then raised his hand up high. Slowly the sand behind him came to his palm and Kronos directed it all into Rin's mouth.
The sand flew and soon the particles filled Rin's mouth muffling his screams. The sand flew faster and faster and slowly Rin began to glow golden. He started shooting lightning bolts out of his mouth and smoke came out of his nose. He felt like he was burning up inside. Rin tried moving Kronos's hand but it was like a marble statue unmovable.
"Stop!" yelled a voice, Kronos turned and there was Yukio, the son of Nemesis swung his sword down forcing Kronos to break contact with Rin and jump away.
Yukio stepped in front of Kronos and his blade and smirked. "You're mine now Kronos."
Kronos smiled, "and what makes you say that boy?"
"Your weapon is behind me."
Kronos raised an eyebrow, "oh, is that so?"
He raised one hand and from behind Yukio Backbiter floated in the air and then thrust itself to Kronos's waiting hand, all the while the blade of the scythe cut through Yukio slicing him cleanly in half. Yukio's lasts thoughts were of his home and the promise his mother made him so long ago.
"Now where were we?" asked Kronos and he turned around to face Rin. Only to see Sara there right next to him. She was bleeding but she was right there.
"Seaweed brain? Rin?" she shook him gently, "Rin come on wake up, you have to wake up!" Her face filled with tears as she mourned for her friend.
"He is dead Sara," said Kronos with a gentleness that came from Drake inside him, "even he could not survive all that energy inside him."
But Sara did not listen as she still tried to shake Rin awake, to get him to come back to the world, to her. Kronos knew she was not listening and decided to end her pain. He lifted his scythe, hopefully she would meet Rin in the underworld, if there was enough of his spirit left to be found that is.
Drake was reluctant at first but after a moment he agreed, and so Drake took over the body and with the scythe raised above him, he swung down the blade to his once best friend.
But the landing never came, but just as the blade was about to meet Sara's neck Drake was hit by a bolt of lighting. It hit Drake dead in the center throwing him across the room and pushing him into the large 50 foot doors, which then swung open from the impact which allowed Drake to be thrown back further.
'That was close,' thought Drake, 'if not for the curse of Achilles then I would be dead, hell my body would not even be here.' Drake looked ahead of him trying to find the source of this lightning bolt, worried whether Zeus had arrived or not. But all he saw was Sara, and next to her Rin standing upright and tall.
His wounds seemed to have disappeared and none of them could be seen. The only way of realizing he had been hurt is from the blood stains on his skin and the tears in his clothing. Rin's hair was now standing up straight on end, glowing yellow with power and his eyes seemed pupiless. His right hand was outstretched and his entire arm sparked with electricity.
"This ends now Kronos," said Rin, only this time his voice was different deeper and much, much, much more powerful.
Rin brought his hand down and looked at Sara, he put his hand on her and she was suddenly surrounded by a glow, and all her wounds seemed to close by themselves. Kronos could only look on in shock at what he had just seen. Rin stood up and looked, "surprised?
So am I. But I'm guessing I have the abilities of the Olympians thanks to you. So that means,-"
And with that Rin disappeared in a flash of yellow light and appeared right next to Kronos with his arm drawn back.
"Get out of my home!" yelled the god-like being and punched Kronos straight in the face sending him flying back and out of Olympus. Kronos could be seen flying in an ark out of the main palace and slowly he began his descent down to the war torn streets again.
Kronos looked down and he saw that the street was filled with his monster army, Hades and his army and lots of demigods.
That last words he said was, "oh sh**."
And with a with a crash that rang out through the entire battle ground he fell into the tar road.
The fighting ceased as all wanted to see who had fallen down from Olympus. The monster's hoped it was a god, while the demigods hoped it was not someone they knew.
Out of the smoking crater came out Kronos with his scythe in hand. The monster was stunned and the demigods thought that the gods have returned to save them. One child of ares got cocky and charged at Kronos. The titan swung his scythe without even turning back and look at who was there, all he had eyes for was the figure who was flying down from the skies.
Soon all could see Rin as he flew down from Mount Olympus. His torn orange shirt batted in the wind. But the only thing he had eyes for was Kronos, and for Kronos, him.
Rin clenched his right hand and a ball of lightning charged in it, Percy looked at Kronos, "round 2 time bi***."
