Battle on a Bridge

Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson and The Olympians

All of the campers, hunters, gods and soldiers got into battle position. I returned to the throne room along with John and saw the Olympians discussing strategy. In

the center of the throne room stood a holographic 3D replica of the city that actually showed the forces at battle. Now I know what you are thinking, why are the gods

not fighting. To answer the fates decreed that unless another immortal appeared (i.e. Giant or Gaea) the gods may not partake in battle.

"We need to sink the tunnels and destroy the bridges then we can get the river spirits to protect the waters and keep away boats, and the wind spirits to knock any

air travel. That would minimize the forces getting through." yelled Athena.

"Yeah, and were the fun is that?" shouted back Ares.

"War is not supposed to be fun." replied Athena.

"Well aren't we supposed to keep the damage to the city at a minimum?" asked Dionysus

"Yeah and keeping out as many forces as possible is the best way to do it." yelled Athena exasperated.

"Please Gaea wound find a way to get her troops in, all it would do is add to the damage." said Poseidon.

"I agree." said Apollo.

"As do I" said Artemis.

"Fine, then what do you propose?" asked Athena.

"Keep with the plan, defend all of the entrances. As long as we keep them open Gaea would be tempted to use them." said Artemis.

"Well, it appears that the Williamsburg Bridge will need reinforcements. That appears to be where the majority of monsters are. Nearly two thousand are there we

only have about 400 fighters there. The Manhattan bridge has been fairly quiet so send half off our forces from there to the Williamsburg Bridge."

"No." I announced

"Percy when did you get here?" asked my Father.

"Five minutes ago, I will go to the Williamsburg bridge myself. Contact the Manhattan bridge. Tell them to be on high alert. If that has been the quietest, than it can

be assumed that Williamsburg bridge is a diversion to lower guard on other bridges and tunnels, meaning another one is about to be attacked when we panic and

send forces to the Williamsburg, use all resources before you decide to center our forces around one bridge." I told them.

"And what makes you such a military strategist?" asked Athena, with a slight mocking tone. I turned around.

"I have already defended Manhattan once." and with that I teleported to the Williamsburg bridge.

"You know he is right." I decided. "It would be most logical for that to be the case would you not agree."

"Great if both of you think that than it definitely is wrong." mocked Athena.

"Don't say that, he has defended Manhattan and led our forces here once, he probably knows what is best." said Apollo.

"Yes, a diversion is definitely what father would do. Gaea would probably do the same." said Zeus.

"Well, you are the king. So if you think it is what must be done than I will follow." Athena replied.

I appeared at Williamsburg Bridge and found Thalia leading the long range division sent here. She ran over to me.

"Hey, we were about to make a steady retreat, destroy as much as possible, and wait for reinforcements." she told me.

"No, we will take back control of this bridge." I said.

"How?" asked Thalia. "There are over two thousand enemies in sight and every one we kill another just takes its place."

"Here is the plan. I will charge in to the monsters sword and shield ready. Have the archers rain arrows down wherever I am not. Have half of the ground troops

charge in behind me and the other half defend the long range division. The goal is for the ground fighters to destroy the beat of the enemies and the arrows will cause

to much panic for the monsters to rally into a unit." I explained

"You sure about this." asked Thalia.

"Unless you want to give up the bridge." I replied then turned and charged to met the monsters. I drew riptide and my shield and began to tear through monsters. I

no longer thought; just let my body react to my surroundings. Slice, stab, duck, block, side step, stab, jump, flip, slice... you get the idea. My sword became no longer

a sharpened piece of medal, but a force of nature itself. Where it cut monster dust soon appeared. However I noticed Thalia was having trouble getting the attention

of the troops behind me. They were to caught up in panic mode to even notice that most of the monsters had backed off to turn their attention to me. I could see the

rage building in Thalia's eyes, they seemed to glow a deep blue and out of nowhere a huge thunderbolt appeared only moments after a deafening roar of thunder

followed. Now she had gained the undivided attention of the gods forces. She relayed my orders and the troops began to notice me fighting of hundreds of monsters

on my own. I could see their spirits brighten and now hope flicker throughout the forces. To further embolden them I formed a hurricane around me just as I did

against Hyperion in the first battle of Manhattan. My strikes increased in pace and I tore through monsters with everything I had, but alone I was only delaying the

overrun of the bridge.

"Troops, we will not lose this bridge." Thalia shouted. As a unit my allies followed the order. Soon after we had the monsters on the run. In fact I had to stop our

advance, lest we would overextend ourselves.

AN: Well what did you think. Please R&R
