Annabeth yelled- "I'm here to help." as she sliced through a spartan warrior sporting their red colors that was about to spear the Athenian warrior on the ground who was in blue colors.

Io knowing she was never going to be a physical warrior like Annabeth took up the bow but lost it during their travels, only recently replacing in a small town. Drawing it full length, showing the experience of having done this numerous times before she let fly her arrow, piercing a warrior charging at Annabeth from the side.

"Anna, don't let your guard down." Io kindly reminded

"I know!" Annabeth yelled back, irritated that she was being told something she knew. It wasn't like the warrior was even close to being able to kill her.

One Spartan yelled- "It seems these weak fools needed help from a couple of women." Gaining some mock laughter while completely disregarding their brethren's deaths.

Spartan leader- "Thomas, Nikos, take care of the women, let's finish this fight!" he gave a military chime that they all reciprocated before increasing their aggressiveness.

A fat guy peeked out from one of the horse-drawn carriages, gazing upon the two beauties who came to help.

The Athenian leader yelled out his orders trying to rally his men into formation to little effect as they were chopped down immediately whenever they lost focus for a fraction of a second. These men weren't here for tough battles, they thought it was a simple escort, never did they think their lives would be at risk.

Io seeing a man charge shot countless arrows at him, only for his shield to block every single shot that he didn't manage to dodge.

Annabeth seeing Io in trouble attempted to go back before she dodged a spear strike from the side. Worried she angrily turned to her attacker throwing a random strike that he easily blocked and then shield bashed her away.

Chuckling he commented- "Battle isn't a place for a woman, drop your weapons and I'll let you warm my bed tonight."

Surprisingly this calmed Annabeth, realizing she lost control earlier, she grew quiet while taking a stance.

The man seeing he failed to rattle her thought nothing of it since she was still just a woman. He sneered as he moved forward thrusting his spear out. Annabeth ready and waiting moved forward dodging by a hair's breadth as she moved forward to his now exposed side and swiped her dagger across his open neck, all within a fraction of a second.

Eyes wide, he fell clutching his throat as he bled out not believing he was just done in by a woman.

Annabeth turned quickly to check on Io, a heart-stopping moment as she saw the man about to pierce her.

Io was nowhere near prepared enough to fight someone so skilled and grew flustered as the gap closed knowing she was in trouble.

Theoric feeling Sigyn's nervous squeeze held her hand tightly preventing her from moving.

"Theo!?" Sigyn said panicking a little.

"Relax," he said with a grin.

Sigyn eyes grew wide in fear as she saw the spear's decent and gave a yelp- "Oh, no." turning her head away into Theorics chest so she didn't have to see the horrific sight.

The spear, however, was stopped abruptly by an orange glow as Io was spared thanks to Theoric's timely intervention. Without hesitation, she drew her waist dagger and planted in the throat of the stunned man who died still baffled by the event.

Io sighing in relief gave thanks to Theoric with a thankful nod in his direction.

Annabeth seeing things taken care of let out a breath of air that she was holding, happy that they met such a wonderful man.

Theoric patted his wife's head- "Sigyn, you should really trust me more, look everything is fine."

Sigyn peeked out- "Oh thank goodness." then she turned and began to pout,- "Stupid Theo, Smelly Theo, it's not me who doesn't trust, it's you who bullies me, Hmph!"

"Which made him chuckle- "Yes, yes, yes, It's my fault, I'm sorry my love," he said stroking her head.

Squinting her eyes Sigyn responded- "It's good you know."

No longer worried about Io, Annabeth turned her attention back on the battle. The Athenians were down to half their men with only about a dozen left as they finally managed to gather into a reasonable formation, knowing they wouldn't survive on their own.

The Spartans attacks slowed as they came up against desperate pressure from the Athenians who were fighting their hearts out to live, but the numbers that were about even at the start of the battle now swung to the Spartans as they outnumbered them 2 to 1.

Annabeth charged over not afraid to attack their backside as she began a bloody dance that they were ill-prepared for. Every one of them wondering where this deadly minx came from.

The Spartan leader seeing this couldn't believe his eyes as he watched more of his men falling to this unknown beauty.- "What are all you sad sacks doing, It's just one woman! Kill Her!" he barked.

The close proximity though was becoming a problem for his men as their spears couldn't keep up with her.

Seeing a lost cause the Spartan leader ordered the retreat- "Retreat, Retreat! Get Your Asses Moving!"

Annabeth didn't miss all the unusual things they were doing, muttering to herself- "That's strange."

Io took the chance at revenge as she shot a couple of the retreating forms, downing one.

The Spartan leader giving one last curse- "Done in by a couple of damn women, how will I explain this."

Annabeth kept an eye on them before turning to see the Athenian Leader arrive to thank her.

"I can't thank you enough for coming when you did, you really saved us... May I know the name of my savior, I'm Manousos Vlachides by the way, leader of this ragtag group of men."

"I'm Annabeth Chase, and those are my friends, Io, Theoric and his wife Sigyn," she said pointing out the others.

The man seeing there was another two frowned a little when he noticed Theoric, wondering why such a nicely geared man was hiding away from the fight and letting women fight for him.
