But before he could try to reengage Typhon a warm sea breeze blew past him carrying a melodious voice, "Father, Atlantis is under attack! We can't fight them all! Please help mother is in danger!"...

... Poseidon quickly flashed to his palace into one of the most frightening scenes he had ever seen.

Poseidon froze in horror; Atlantis was in flames, even underwater. Green flames were spewing out of his palace's windows, Greek fire! Poseidon mentally screamed.

But that wasn't all; the Atlantian army was in battle with a mix of Telekhines, Cyclops and sea monsters. His son and daughter were fighting the Trojan sea monster, Keto, and the Kraken, while his two granddaughters, Lýpi̱ and Kríma were in battle with a group of sea monsters that were being helped by Karkinos.

But even worse was when Poseidon saw his wife being held by her hair in the hands of Polybotes, who had Oceanus by his side.

"Daughter, I offered you a place next to me, you and my grandchildren could have been safe under my rule." Poseidon was angered by the way Oceanus was talking to his wife, but what he said next made him rage. "But then again. That daughter of yours is very pretty, she will have a lot of fun in our army." The smirk on his lips was undeniable and caused Poseidon to roar and barrel toward him, tackling both Oceanus and Polybotes.

When the three of them all managed to stand Oceanus noticed that he had a small amount of ichor coming from is head, Polybotes had a cut along his arm and Poseidon had a split lip but the sea healed all their wounds. Both Poseidon and Polybotes summoned their tridents, ready to strike while Oceanus pulled out his sea-snake sword.

"You will die puny sea god!" Polybotes bellowed before he lunged with his trident.

"Come on sis, we got this." Triton was pepping up his sister who had just been thrown into the wall of their palace, the pair watched as their three opponents swam towards them.

Aeráki righted herself and wiped the ichor that came from her mouth, she had taken a slap from the kraken when she was trying to sneak up on him. The gigantic octopus-like creature was currently destroying everything in its path, the city of Atlantis being its playground. The ocean was healing her but it couldn't keep her energy up forever.

Once Aeráki was back Triton pulled out his duel swords, "I bet you that I get the kill." His smirk motivated Aeráki to pull out her trident, a gift from Briars that was almost as powerful as her fathers.

Over the years a sibling rivalry grew like that of all brothers and sisters, Triton realized that he couldn't be the overprotective brother after she was a mother, something that took a while for Triton to accept.

"The only way you are going to get the kill is after I have done all the work again." Aeráki mocked before swimming straight at the Kraken. Triton wasn't far behind but Aeráki was faster than him and was now within the Kraken's reach but she hadn't been noticed yet. Aeráki swiftly maneuvered the tentacles trying to wrap around her, looping around them as they were rattling about. Triton moved the other side, separating allowed them a chance to get an advantage over the Kraken.

Once on the other side of the Kraken, Triton began his assault on the tentacles reaching everywhere, slashing at two at the same time before swimming swiftly to assault a third. This technique was to distract and anger he beast before Triton could make his way to the head.

Aeráki utilized the distraction that her brother was providing, guiding her way through the thrashing tentacles before moving her way to the head. Aeráki moved to the side, right next to one of the eyes but just out of sight. Pulling back she thrusted her trident into the back of its eye. The Kraken's wail ran throughout Atlantis, all windows that had survived this far into the battle shattered, raining shards onto the streets. But with the wail came frantic trashes of the tentacles and Triton wasn't lucky enough to dodge this time.

Triton was knocked out of the Krakens range and landed in the middle of an army of telekhines. The impact of the prince caused many of them to vaporize into golden dust only to be swept up by the sea. But the gap made by the impact was quickly filled, monsters storming towards a recovered but still groggy sea prince.

But Triton was able to right himself before he was overrun. His swords just arriving in the arcs of two axes, both aiming for his head, Triton managed to slap the axes away as he made a 360 move. His form despite all the strain already inflicted on him transformed into a whirlpool of death. Water and currents followed his movements, drawing in more victims quickly as Triton decimated ranks after ranks of the monsters, changing the course of the Atlantian army's momentum. The mermaids were hacking their way through the legions of now distracted Cyclops, but with the mass they were unable to make much distance.

Aeráki was making progress now on the Kraken, multiple points could be seen on the Kraken's face that were leaking black oil like blood. And she was too busy with the Kraken to notice that the other 2 combatants were no longer watching the Kraken waiting for their turn, Keto had left to join Polybotes and Oceanus while the Trojan sea monster was currently stalking towards her brother. But then something happened that created a ball of ice in the heart of the sea princess.

A cry of pain that Aeráki never wanted to hear came from the other side of the Kraken. Kríma's cry rang through Aeráki's ears before her motherly instincts cut in. Aeráki stabbed her trident into the Kraken's head one last time but this time unloading a blast of ocean air into the wound, causing the head to swell. The head of the mammoth mollusk ballooned to the point of bursting, which it did, raining golden dust down to reveal what was behind it.

Karkinos' small force was decimated but the crab was still very much kicking. In fact, in its claws it held onto one of Aeráki's treasures, Kríma was clutched in the pincer of the shelled fiend and was being crushed. Lýpi̱ was hacking at the claw while avoiding the second, her sister slowly losing color in her face. Aeráki was so afraid and angry at the same time, her body and mind crying, for the blood of Karkinos and also in the despair of her daughter.

The daughter of Poseidon swam swiftly towards her daughters, still struggling against the claws of Karkinos. "I'm coming Kríma!" Her voice holding all of her sorrow and determination.

Karkinos' bubbly screech permeated the battle, he was now fighting a powerful goddess but in his mind, he could take her. Too bad he doesn't know the fury of a protective mother, a mother protecting her child is even more powerful then his first foe, Heracles.

Aeráki avoided his first claw, which the crab had put too much power in, burying its own pincer in the sand below. But then the Karkinos used its other claw, still holding Kríma, to bludgeon the mother effectively puling with him Lýpi̱, who was holding onto her sister's hands attempting to pull her out of the killing grip. This swipe was intercepted by a very angry mother, her trident catching the claw of Karkinos just at the last joint, and like a shell cracker Aeráki snapped the claw off.

The claw fell to the sea floor accompanied by a deafening screech from Karkinos, his mouth foaming even more in his anger. The twins both fell to the ground, the claw loosened its grip and Lýpi̱ was able to pull Kríma from the fallen trap. The twins then hugged each other close; in their rather short lives this was the most terrifying experience they had and it wasn't over but they could help but marvel at their mother.

Aeráki took her trident and bashed the second claw of Karkinos, cracking it and sending new waves of pain through the monster. This movement was followed by two quick thrusts into the face of Karkinos and a final swift drive of the trident downwards into the head of the beast.

As the beast melted into sand Aeráki swam down to her daughters, both still in their position of holding each other and engulfed them in a motherly embrace, holding them tight without even a notion of the warfare happening behind them.

She then started crying, neither of the girls were injured anymore, the water of the sea had healed them to near full health, but both were exhausted from the strain the fighting had caused. The twins then joined their mother in sobbing, they were so afraid and scared, it was the reason their father sent them to Atlantis when the war had begun, he had believed that there would be no fighting here since there were no stirrings from Oceanus or the sea monsters but they had all came at once and the two began to fight fro their home. The council and Poseidon had been so sure that there would be no attempt on Atlantis that the cyclops army had been sent to Olympus, even Triton and Aeráki were going to join them but then the forces of Oceanus and Polybotes came and they were at war under the seas.

Aeráki then pulled back wiping her eyes to look down at her daughters, "Are you two alright?"

They didn't answer just hugged their mother tighter. Aeráki just began to rub their backs, comforting them as best she could. These two were associated with death, they were the lieutenants of Thanotos at sea, but they had never been close to losing each other, since they were born they had never left each other's side.

"Shh... shh..." Aeráki comforted her daughters, "Now I am going to go help grandpa, but I want you two to go back to the palace, go to the center and don't leave each other."

The girls lifted the teary gazes to their mother before giving slight nods and running back to the palace never letting go of the other's hand.

Aeráki watched as her daughters ran away before turning towards the rest of the fighting and finding a scene that could only be described as terrifying.

Triton had stopped his tornado of death, his body burning from strain; never had he fought this hard and long. He was leading the Atlantians through rank after rank of cyclops, making his way away from the city, trying to minimize the damage. He had heard the cries of his nieces, the same nieces that he spent the last few decades spoiling. He was tempted to run to them, but then he saw Aeráki wailing on Karkinos and he couldn't have left his soldiers in their fight with the sea of monsters around him.

As Triton was slashing his way through the cyclops he was distracted from the large sea serpent currently swimming towards him. That is until the teeth of the monster began to dig into the skin of his arm.

Triton didn't scream, he held his tongue; he didn't want to show weakness to his foes. But the Trojan sea monster was digging into his flesh, so Triton lost one of his arms, at least for this fight. He spun bringing in his now lone sword across the monsters eye, half blinding the beast.

The Trojan sea monster roared in its pain, letting go of his prey for a split-second. But that split-second was enough for Triton to escape its grip but not enough time for him to avoid the tail that crashed into his back.

The scales ripped his skin but the sea quickly closed his wounds. Turning quickly Triton raised his sword just in time to slash at the snapping maw of monster.

The dance then began, the monster around Triton and Triton attempting to defend his still useless side from tail and teeth but was still having trouble using only one arm. With the continuous strikes of the serpent Triton was struggling to keep his strikes powerful enough. But Triton had enough strength to push one more time, using the injured eye as cover Triton spun over the beast and stabbed directly into the uninjured eye, the beast's wails quickly died as it disintegrated into the currents.

Poseidon was dueling his two greatest enemies, Polybotes and Oceanus. Trident swinging between foes and blocking advances. But this wasn't always effective, fighting two opponents was hard enough for Poseidon and then again these two were his greatest foes. Oceanus was the titan of the sea and the one he took the throne of, but Polybotes was literally created to defeat him.

The clashes and clangs rattled throughout the battle. Oceanus slashed and Polybotes stabbed and Poseidon was being overwhelmed, cut were appearing all over his body only to be healed by the sea but the healing powers were being dampened. Oceanus and Poseidon both create clean seas wherever they are but Polybotes has the effect of poisoning it, the waters were clashing in this fight and now it was affecting him.

Poseidon was slowing down slightly, despite the sea powering him, hours of fighting Typhon tired him and even the sea couldn't give him the strength to win. Oceanus created currents from the deep ocean, the cold water freezing to the touch and flowing strong right at Poseidon. The blast of chill staggered Poseidon allowing Polybotes to wrap his net around his legs.

Poseidon fell; crashing to the ocean floor with his two greatest enemies towered over him, bellowing in joyous laughter. Poseidon couldn't move, he was going to die now and he was afraid. Poseidon was afraid for himself, for the ocean, for the world. But what he feared for most was his family, the ones fighting Typhon, the ones fighting for the roots but mostly the family he had fighting with him now, the ones he depended on most.

"Are you ready to fade you upstart?" Oceanus taunted, readying his sword for a killing blow.

But right before the blow landed Oceanus tumbled forward, an angry sea queen jumping on his back, his sword falling down, cutting the net around Poseidon. The freed sea god then quickly acted, launching himself at Polybotes who was encroaching on his wife.

The battle was shifting now, Amphitrite clinging to Oceanus' back stabbing into him with her dagger and Poseidon and Polybotes grapples, both weaponless and using the sea to over-power the other.

Poseidon got a strong right hook on Polybotes followed by a knee to the head, making his stumble backwards. This gave Poseidon enough time to summon his trident, readying his own deadly blow.

But as Poseidon brought down his strike an excruciating pain shot through him, spreading from his back as his blood began to burn and his body became rigid. Standing above him was a smirking Keto, one of Oceanus' snakes in hand.

Poseidon knew his chances of living were slim now, the poison of the snakes was deadly to all, the ocean would have to heal its king for him to live and even then his odds were slim.

Polybotes began to stand up, his white aura and the sea healing what was left of his injuries, Oceanus then walked over, pulling Amphitrite's unconscious form by her hair. "You are lucky that we have somewhere to be you pathetic excuse for a sea god. Take your whore and die already." Oceanus spat as he threw his wife onto the now paralyzed sea king.

Polybotes and Oceanus had one last laugh at the sight before they flashed away to Chaos knows where, leaving a dying Poseidon and his wife alone with Keto looming over them.

Keto's tentacles began to roll over his body, shifting Poseidon to look at her, "Are you ready to die handsome?" Keto was now right in his face, looking into his still defiant sea green eyes. "Pity, I would have like one last go before I got rid of you."

Keto prepared the same snake as before, ready to inject a dose of poison that would eliminate all chances of him surviving. But right before she could do anything a sword sprouted from her abdomen, showing its black blade coated in her green blood before she burst into ash.

Poseidon eventually felt the poison leaving his system, being drawn out of him and fresh water pouring in, healing the systems that the poison damaged. When he looked up he saw a man he never thought he would see again, it was his son Percy, it looked just like him only older than he had gotten to live. But then there was something off about him.

It wasn't his son, his son had his eyes, and this boy had eyes that were straight black. "Come on gramps," the man offered his hand, which Poseidon took, still in shock from the situation. "Well I got to go help sis, but you sit tight, and I will see you after all this is done." The man then disappeared, no shadows, no sea mist, and no flash. He just vanished.

Meanwhile at Olympus

"Do you surrender now? You are no match to us!" Prometheus called out to the defending army, arrogance was ever present in his voice.

Theseus stood proud in front of his army, dwarfed by the hordes before him. He was hesitant to run into this battle, mainly because the chance of winning a battle with only demigods didn't work to well for them. So he needed to adjust the favors.

"Amelia, we need some gods." Theseus called over his shoulder, receiving a nod from the daughter of Hermes before she started to send an IM to Iris herself. Theseus then called out to Prometheus, "You will not see tomorrow Prometheus, you have not thought this through."

Prometheus' face grew dangerously red; his pride was too large for someone to mock his own title and his anger disrupting any semblance to thought. Prometheus charged the small Olympian army alone, Enceladus holding the others back before they rushed into battle over ones hurt ego. Theseus saw him coming and in one swift movement took his 3-foot chaotic steel sword and flung it straight through Prometheus' forehead. Causing the titan of forethought to fall disintegrating into a pile of golden dust leaving an angry monster army behind him. Many of them had been following him from the beginning but Enceladus just grew a flat face, showing no emotion.

"Attack plan bravo!" Theseus called before he ran straight at the army followed by a small group of soldiers and the more elite of the campers including Luke and Clarisse. He seized his sword from the ground before he charged into the fray, slicing through monsters and making his way towards the strongest of their opponents. Enceladus could be seen slipping back behind lines of monsters and other giants calling out orders and sending waves after waves of the now structured Olympian army. The speed of his orders only being beaten by that of the top daughter of Athena, Annabeth, whom was organizing everyone; setting up the best possible defense.

A faction of the Ares and Mars campers followed their leader, soldier of Chaos Andrew Jackson, son of Mars, in a fight with the Lydian Drakon, the Minotaur and the Erymanthian boar. All fighting with newfound vigor and the strength expected from children of Ares/Mars.

Michael Yew and Lee Fletcher were firing down of the gorgon sisters, Stheno and Euryale from the remodeled flying chariot. Meanwhile the 5 ships of the campers were loaded with archers that were firing upon the flocks of stymphailian birds and gryphons that were spreading throughout the ranks while a few of the Hephaestus/Vulcan kids were using the ballistae and cannons on the armies mass.

Grover lead the nature spirits in battle, gathering all available help as they fought with bark armor and assorted weapons from swords to pointed pinecones that were surprisingly efficient. Meanwhile a swarm of Basilisks were emerging throughout the monster army towards ranks of campers only to be met by a weasel. Strangely that weasel that terrified the snakes used to be a large elephant.
