Previously on Percy Jackson: Tales of Dunamis;

. . .

Hera crossed her arms and sniffed disdainfully, "Boys and their toys."

"I suppose we get weapons? Are we supposed to be cheerleaders and dance around while you guys do all the fighting?" Hera asked

Zeus winked at her. "Don't worry, baby. I'll protect you."

"I think I'm going to be sick," Hera said.

Now:

. . .

Well, there was no doubt the Elder Cyclopes could've made an extra three weapons for the women. But at that moment, Kampe turned and marched back towards the Cyclopes. Maybe she had noticed the smoke from Zeus's lightning bolt, or the swirling clouds made from Poseidon's trident, or maybe she could taste the residual fear in the air from Hades's helmet. Perhaps it was Dunamis's rumbling that the ring caused.

Whatever tipped her off, she detected the presence of the gods.

She raised her whip and howled, "RAWRGGGGGWRRR!!!!"

The half reptilian woman charged towards their hiding place, using her tail to lash the gods grazing Hestia on the cheek and Poseidon on the thigh.

A scowl clouded her face and an ugly smile was displayed for all to see, "Lord Kronos will reward me for your bodies, and I'm pretty sure it was alive or DEAD!"

The thousands of vipers around her legs spitting poison, which was sidestepped with ease.

'If it was a one on one it would've been so much easier.' Dunamis thought.

"Great." Muttered Hera.

Zeus stepped forward with confidence leaking off his body, "I've got this!"

He raised his lightning bolt pointing it at Kampe. He focused all of his energy into his weapon.

KA-BLAM!

A column of white-hot powder shot towards Kampe - the brightest light ever seen in Tartarus.

The sudden attack caught Kampe off guard allowing her to be hit on the side.

Her torso had been completely ripped upon impact and a deep gash was left on her body.

It definitely hurt, but it wasn't enough. All the attack achieved was pissing Kampe off.

The She-Monster looked up, her scowl intensified and she lunged towards Zeus.

Dunamis summoned Gleaming Death and immediately met Kampe. He brought his sword down in a diagonal slash, causing her guts and ichor to begin leaking out in abundance.

"Never harm my family Dracanae!" Dunamis roared changing his sword into a magnificent eighty-inch spear, he mustered all of his strength into his forearm and threw it. With practised precision it landed right through her left eye, completely gauging the thing out.

Her breathing became heavy hair face pale, as she took in her last breath she snarled towards Dunamis, "You bastard, I curse you to live a life full of hardships."

The Dracaena disintegrated into ash, which was hauled away by the wind.

"At least give the rest of us a chance!" Poseidon grumbled.

"Don't be so hasty brother, your time will come, sooner than you think."

. . .

"Zeus, Hades go and get the Hundred-Handed Ones, Poseidon, Hera you get the Elder Cyclopes," Dunamis announced, taking charge of the group. "Demeter, Hestia stay with me."

Once the Hundred-Handed Ones and the Elder Cyclopes had been unchained and had regrouped with all the gods, Brontes decided to speak up.

"I have discussed with my brothers and we have come to a decision, we will fight Kronos!" He roared in his rough voice.

"Excellent!" Zeus said, the more the merrier.

A loud roar reverberated throughout Tartarus, all the monsters had seen the flash of lightning Zeus conjured and soon enough, their location would be swarmed with monsters.

"We should leave," Demeter said, "like right now!"

This must have been the first non-grain related idea Demeter had mentioned so far, so Hades navigated them out of the caves using the same trail as last. The gods returned to the upper world, along with their six large, new friends.

. . .

Once the Gods and the two sets of triplets had returned to Mount. Ida, they began preparations for the war.

It was decided that there would be two squadrons, one for support consisting of Hestia, the Elder Cyclopes and Hundred-Handed Ones, Rhea and more.

Then there were the main fighters such as Dunamis, Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Hera and Demeter. These would be the ones on the front lines storming Mt. Orthys.

The whole group was back in the hideout at the base of Mt. Ida.

Rhea walked forward, grabbing the attention of the others, "I have an idea. Why don't we try and seek help from some of the Titans."

Dunamis nodded at the proposal, "Yes but who? Aren't all the Titans loyal followers of Kronos?"

"Not all," She said, "I'm sure most of my sisters will remain neutral,"

Dunamis stood up, "It's decided I shall go and recruit the Titans to our side,"

Rhea was shocked by her youngest son's statement, "Absolutely not young god, not on your own I forbid it!"

Dunamis sighed he knew his mother was just too overprotective, it could be seen as a good thing. However, he needed to do this it was the only way to win the war.

"Fine, I'll take Hestia and Hades with me."

Rhea was still upset that she would have to part with her children, but she decided to allow it. Three gods could handle themselves besides, Dunamis was the strongest of them all.

"Fine but Hades and Hestia have to agree," She said.

Hestia wanted her family to be happy so she saw this as the perfect opportunity to get a relationship started between the three.

For hades, he was just growing bored and didn't want to stand around doing anything, he also felt something akin to admiration for his younger brother.

They both nod their heads signifying their understanding.

"It's decided then," Dunamis announced "Whilst I'm gone, I want you all t work on making equipment and stocking up on resources."

They all knew the parts they had to play.
