Second Giant War, Part Two

The Second Giant War was a series events relating to the rise of @Gaea and her children, the giants. Like its predecessor, the Second Giant War was fought between the @Olympians and the @Giant Army, with the Prophecy of Seven being its focal point. It began in December 2009 and ended on August 1, 2010.

Part Three: The Mark of Athena

When the people of @Camp Half-Blood arrived at @Camp Jupiter things seemed to go well. Until @Leo Valdez fired at the camp due to being possessed by an @Eidolon. Now the camps are going to go to war and the gods are split between their Roman and Greek counterparts. Annabeth figures out that she needs to find the @Athena Parthenos to unite the camp.

Meanwhile, Ephialtes and Otis have kidnapped @Nico di Angelo in a jar because he knows about the @Doors of Death. After a while, the ship was attacked by Chrysaor and his dolphin warriors. They manage to defeat them by using the trickery of @Frank Zhang and @Dionysus.

Annabeth followed tthe @Mark of Athena to Rome, where she found the statue guarded by @Arachne. She managed to trick the monster into sewing Chinese finger traps all while she had a broken leg. At the same time, Jason and Percy managed to defeat Otis and Ephialtes with the help of the Argo II in the @Coliseum and Bacchus finished them off. But when Percy reunited with Annabeth, they both fell into @Tartarus, but this was actually good because they can close the Doors of Death.

Part Four: The House of Hades

While in Tartarus, Annabeth and Percy meet @Iapetus (also known as Bob), a former titan who was brainwashed by Percy. He believes that Percy had called for his help when the former was actually screaming in pain. Bob helps them defeat many monsters in the pit including several empousa and a flock of Arai. Bob also took Percy and Annabeth to see @Damasen, an amiable giant with exceptional healing powers after Percy was critically injured by the @Arai. However, they had to leave quickly due to the trio being pursued by other giants and titans whom had been sent to Tartarus by them and other demigods like @Jason the Argonaut. Damasen and Bob however have discussed Bob's plan to use the death mist to conceal the two demigods so that they could be smuggled back to the mortal world. Damensen doesn't believe the plan will work but Bob thinks it is their best shot so he takes them to see @Akhlys. The goddess hides them in the death mist but then tries to kill the demigods. Percy managed to defeat her by controlling her poison and using it against her and then chases her off. After that, @Nyx and her many children arrive to kill the demigods but Annabeth tricks her and they run away.

The remaining members of the Seven were travelling to @Greece to help Annabeth and Percy close the doors of death from the other side. They are attacked by a number of enemies such as the Ourae, in which they escape from and Sciron and his giant turtle, whom they manage to defeat through trickery. They also arrive at @Diocletian's Palace to retrieve his sceptre. They meet @Cupid there and he reveals Nico's homosexuality but they manage to retrieve the Scepter. Later, they arrive at Greece and destroy thousands of monsters with the help of the undead Roman Legion to reach the Doors of Death but Leo and Hazel were separated from the rest of the group during the battle.

In Tartarus, with the help of the death mist, Annabeth and Percy manage to sneak past many monsters and titans. They soon arrive at the Doors of Death, where many monster are waiting to get through to the mortal world. However, Tartarus arrives and destroys @Krios and @Hyperion, the titans guarding the Doors of Death. Bob and @Small Bob defend Percy and Annabeth but they are both soon defeated by Tartarus. Just as Tartarus is about to kill Bob, Damasen then arrives and along with Bob, they sacrifice themselves to let Percy and Annabeth go through the Doors of Death.

Meanwhile, Hazel and Leo are attacked by the sorceress Pasiphae and the giant Clytius. Hazel manages to defeat @Pasiphaë on her own by shifting the Mist and tricking her but then is nearly knocked out by Clytius. At that time, Percy and Annabeth had just got out of the doors of death and because they still weren't fully recovered from Tartarus, they were both weak and unable to fight. Then, the rest of the seven and Nico arrives as well as Hecate and through combined efforts, they manage to defeat @Clytius.

Reyna also arrives at Greece, but since she and her pegasus were constantly under attack by monsters, her pegasus dies. She then volunteers to go with Nico Di Angelo and Coach Hedge to return the Athena Parthenos to the Greeks as a peace offering.

Part Five: The Blood of Olympus

@Reyna Ramírez-Arellano, Nico and Coach Hedge set off to return the Athena Parthenos while the Seven set off to the ancient lands. The stop at Odysseus' palace where all the suitors of Penelope had gathered, revived from the dead by Gaea. Jason, Piper and Annabeth go to the palace, disguised as suitors to try and find out more about Gaea's plans. However, their cover is blown by the infamous praetor Michael Varus. The three manage to defeat most of the suitors until Michael Varus stabs Jason in the back but is in turn killed by Piper. Hera then appears but says that she couldn't heal Jason much to Piper's dismay. She then says she has to go as her husband is currently hunting her down.

Meanwhile, Reyna, Hedge and Nico encounter Lycaon and his wolves who are currently working for the giant Orion. They manage to kill Lycaon and then shadow travel away before Orion arrives.

The seven also encounter a large storm on their way to the ancient lands which nearly destroys the Argo II. The nearly completely healed Jason and Percy Jackson try to find out what is happening under the sea. Percy dives in, soon followed by Jason after he managed to capture a storm spirit so that he could breathe underwater.

There, they meet @Kymopoleia, who is the one causing the storm and the giant @Polybotes. Percy attacks Polybotes but is defeated by Polybotes poison which had a sickening affect on sons of Neptune/Poseidon. Jason then fights Polybotes but is unable to defeat him without the help of a god. Therefore, he convinces Kym to help him by offering to give her a cabin at Camp Half Blood as well as many other offerings such as an altar, which outshined the what Gaea was willing to give her. They manage to decapitate Polybotes and Jason then reveals the storm spirit helping him who is revealed to be Dylan. Kym and Jason then have a brief discussions about their plan to defeat Gaea.

Reyna Hedge and Nico encounter Orion again but this time, they were kidnapped by The Amazons and The Hunters to lure him into a trap. However, Orion surprise attacks them and kills most of the defenders. The remaining ones hold him off as Reyna and her comrades escape. They soon encounter Bryce Lawrence who had orders from Octavian to capture Reyna. Bryce uses undead members of the Roman Army to attack them but they are defeated by Nico, who sends him to the underworld, defeating him.

After getting the @Physician's Cure from @Asclepius, the seven then attack the giants planning to revive Gaea at the original @Olympus. The demigods are nearly all defeated until the Olympians come and with the help of the demigods, defeat the giants. However, Percy's nosebleed touches the sacred altar and awakens Gaea.

Reyna Nico and Hedge encounter Michael Kahale, Dakota and Laila and they try to arrest them but Kahale is taken out by Tyson and the other demigods agree to help them. Hedge and Nico set off to destroy the onagers that the Romans had set up but once they are gone, @Orion attacks Reyna once again. However, this time with the help of Bellona and @Athena, Reyna manages to defeat them.

Nico meets up with @Will Solace and several other campers from Camp Half Blood and together they try to disarm all the onagers. However, they are discovered by the Romans but distract them for enough time for the Greeks to attack the Romans. However, before they could attack, Reyna returned with the Athena Parthenos. Upon seeing this, the monsters Octavian brought along turned against the legion and the Greeks and the Earth mother Gaea awakes as blood was still dropped on Mount Olympus. She summons more waves of monsters who start overwhelming the campers but is later defeated when Jason, Leo and Piper use Festus to lift her into the air so she loses most of her power. Piper charmspeaks her to sleep while Octavian fires and onager shot which hits Gaea, defeating her but also apparently destroys Festus. The other campers then defeat the armies of monsters and force the remaining to flee. However, during this final battle, Leo is supposedly killed.

Aftermath

Due to the physician's cure, Leo was killed, but was resurrected by @Festus and taken to @Ogygia. There, Leo keeps his promise to set @Calypso free and takes her away. Meanwhile, at camp, the two camps united, but demigods from both camps were worried about Leo, who supposedly died in the battle with Gaea. The demigods focused on meeting new friends and cleaning up as well as giving the dead a funeral. After a few days, the Romans returned to Camp Jupiter and all of the demigods planned for the future. However one of Gaia's monsters; Python survived the war and still controlled the Oracle of Delphi which stopped the flow of prophecies for a period of time. Apollo was also turned into a mortal for a third time by Zeus for being goaded by @Octavian too easily, while Python allied himself with the @Triumvirate Holdings who had a hand in the previous two wars leading to the events of the Great Imperial War. Additionally, at least two of the mortals Gaea revived, Medea and @Lityerses, managed to survive and allied themselves with Triumvirate Holdings.

After the conflict with @Commodus, @Caligula, @Nero and @Python, Nico di Angelo decided to return to Tartarus to search for Iapetus. Though Iapetus was believed destroyed helping Percy and Annabeth escape through the Doors of Death, Nico experiences a voice calling to him from the realm that he thinks might be the Titan calling for help. The son of Hades decides to try and find out what happened to his friend and to help Iapetus if he can.
