Percy Jackson

Pairings: PercyxAnnabeth ChrisxClarisse NicoxThalia TravisxKatie

The world has been overrun with demigods controlled by Kronos, the titan lord of time. Annabeth, Luke, Travis, Connor, Katie, Clarisse and I had barely escaped with our lives, but that didn't mean we came through this experience unharmed.

"Percy, we have to keep moving." Annabeth said as we trudged through our old home, Camp Half-Blood. All of the cabins were either set aflame by Greek fire or were crushed into tiny bristles. There was no place in camp that hadn't been ravaged by the enemy, and by the looks of it, it would take years to fix everything without the gods' help. Our only hope now was to find a safe place to meet up so we could plan for what they had to do next. We stumbled across what was once the big house,which was now scattered with ash spelling the words END.

"But we have nowhere to go! It's been a week since camp was destroyed and we've all nearly lost our lives!" I exclaimed.

"Percy, we're the last survivors. It's up to us to find and defeat Kronos. We should at least try to prevent whatever it is he's doing. He's controlling most of all demigods and mortals." Katie huffed as she leaned against Travis,sighing in exhaustion.

"Fine, but we need more supplies." I grunted tossing Clarisse and Luke a few empty duffel bags I had salvaged from the wrecked camp.

"Why do we have to go?" Clarisse asked indignantly; arms crossed in irritation

"We'll take turns." Connor replied

"We'll meet back under Zeus's fist." Luke suggested as he and Clarisse proceeded towards the tall hill.

The rest of us walked along investigating the camp that we used to call our home. It was horrible to think that it had been our own friends and family that had destroyed it. Kronos will pay for what he has done to us. I yelped in surprise when I found myself tripping over the beam that used to hold up the Hermes cabin, but quickly got up and shook it off, continuing on with the group to the forest.

We finally arrived to our destination; which was a hidden metal door that was installed in the side if a large tree. Connor and Travis had stumbled upon the secret door not too long ago and had discovered it lead to a small bedroom-sized cavern underneath the tree. They had made it useful by adding bunk beds, desks, a fridge, and an emergency escape. The perfect hiding place for a group of head-strong demigods. We were all beginning to file when I heard Annabeth shriek.

"Travis! Connor! Katie! Percy! Get over here!" Annabeth screamed. I scrambled to my feet, following the sound of her voice as it echoed through the caverns. Once I reached her, I was astonished by what I saw.

"HOLY STYX!"

Luke Castellan

Clarisse and I both trudged through the streets of Manhattan. The entire place was overrun with corrupt demigods, which we were forced to hide and run every chance we got. We quickly arrived at an abandoned grocery store and snuck through the boarded up windows. Hopefully there was still food that wasn't taken or spoiled.

Once we were in, we swept the perimeter, checking to see if the coast was clear. After a ground-sweep, we checked for any other openings and blocked them with the chairs from behind check-out counter. There were still plenty of supplies left for us to take.

"You grab the water and food, I'll look for weapons and anything else that's useful." Clarisse said as she drifted away to another aisle.

I started grabbing and stashing anything that looked like it was edible into the duffel bag on my a few minutes of just stuffing the duffel bags with supplies, I checked my watch. It read 9:10 pm. We had to get back before ten or the gang would start to worry and send someone to help us thinking we had been attacked.

"Hurry up Chri-Luke, sorry" Clarisse appeared behind me with her bag filled I looked at the contents in the bag which was filled with several knives, about six hammers, some metal tools, several bandages, medicine, gauze, and some other medical supplies.

"Uhhh… did you just call me Chris?" I asked not hearing how dumb I sounded. I ran a hand through my sandy cropped hair, making sure to keep track of the time and the demigods that I could see though the store's glass front windows.

Clarisse frowned "Sorry, I just… I can't get over the fact that he… that he died during the Second Titan War," she glared into her duffel bag, but I could tell she was upset that he was gone. She was the one who helped Chris overcome insanity. She had gotten close enough to break through his mid and pull him back. NO wonder she was so broken up about him. I felt bad but didn't voice my concern. I knew she didn't want my pity. I bet she'd rather suffer her dad disowning her than take pity from another demigod.

"We should get back, the others are probably worried." I replied shakily after a moment, trying to get out of talking about Chris. He was my younger brother, and I missed him just as much as Clarisse. Neither of us were over his death yet.

Clarisse nodded in agreement before the two of us slung the baggage over our shoulders and snuck back into the streets.

As soon as we were in the clear, we began jogging at a more comfortable pace, talking about strategies and which weapons were best to kill a zombie with. As we stumbled back into Camp Half-Blood, I noticed Annabeth, Percy, The Stoll brothers, and Katie gathered around an old weeping willow tree. Curious, we got closer and it didn't take long for us to realize it was a body.

Clarisse LaRue

Once we realized what they were all looking at, we quickly ran to join them. I stifled a gasp of shock as I watched the supposedly 'dead' Chris Rodriguez who began to wake. Without another thought, I ran to his side, dropping the duffel bags I had with me in my haste.

"What happened?" I demanded not taking my eyes of him.

Annabeth stepped forward. "I was searching the camp for extra supplies when I saw him lying here, so I called the others and waited for him to wake. I doubt he's under Kronos' control at the moment."

Before I could get any other questions in, Chris suddenly woke up, his eyes bloodshot. Once he had gotten a hold of his bearings, he sat up quickly.

"Are you the last survivors?" He choked out roughly, his throat probably feeling like sandpaper.

All we could do was nod, I still was in shock. After everything we've been through this past week, it was a wonderful feeling to know that Chris was still alive.

"Yes, what happened to you?" I said. I helped him stand and we headed inside of our secret hideout.

"During the Battle of Manhattan I was captured by Kronos, hoping he'd make an ally out of you. I realized what he was trying to do and watched him possess others for power. I tried to escape after Isaw what Kronos posses Ethan saying he needed a fresh body and that Luke was resisting. He kept Luke there thinking he was dead. But, I guess you found him. After eating a chunk of Ambrosia, I crawled back here as quickly as I could. Then you guys found me." He said seeing his surroundings feeling the concrete walls painted white.

"We're pretty sure we're the last survivors." Percy said

"We'll give you two some room to catch up. Katie and I will start fixing the cars." Travis said a little to excited about working with Katie. It may have been the fact that we're in the middle of an apocalypse or it may have been Aphrodite's magic. Romance seemed to be blooming through Travis and Katie.

Travis Stoll

My half brother was alive! Excitement jolted through my veins as I watched his limp body stir. After his explanation, Katie and I went of to the garage compartment of our hideout.

There was a black SUV parked to the right, that belonged Katie, Connor, and I. Then there was the black corvette which Clarisse and Luke used (though now they had to make room for Chris too). Percy and Annabeth used a black camaro. They all had a truck load of arsenal loaded inside of it. Connor and I had engineered it to equip anything. The SUV had an arsenal of guns with celestial bronze bullets, Clarisse's had every celestial bronze weapon engineered into it and Percy's had celestial bronze daggers, arrows and swords. I grabbed the tools and started working on the tires and engine with Katie's help.

"Are-are we um...are you my boyfriend now...?" Katie asked out of the blue .

I air and answered with a question of my own. "Um, do you want me to be...your erm..boyfriend?" I scratched my neck nervously and snuck a shy glance.

"Hades yes!" She muttered under her breath as she cast her glance to her feet.

I turned and faced Katie, pulling her up by her chin meeting my lips in slowly but passionate kiss. After breaking apart, my face broke into a grin as I could see a faint blush on her cheeks.

A loud crash startled us and we broke away from our embrace. "We have to go now!" Connor shouted loudly as he began to gather the keys to our cars.

"Why? What's wrong" I questioned as I pulled Katie close to my side protectively. Now that I was her boyfriend, I could show my concern and worry for her publicly. I wanted to protect Katie from no matter what, even if I died.

"A bunch of Athena's kids found the door. The traps we set up killed two of them and the other one has retreated. We have until nightfall to leave before Kronos's army of corrupted demigods reach the hideout.

We wasted no time and spring into action. I help Katie and Connor grab the supplies and load them in the separate cars. I looked inside where we had left Chris and Clarisse alone and hoped they were packing up. But instead I saw them in a tight embrace with their lips locked. I barged in and threw them several duffel bags.

"Athena's kids found us. We have twenty-four hours." I explained as I worked my way around them avoiding a death-glare from Clarisse.

They helped out as soon as I told them the story. We quickly boarded up the entrances with spare wood and began loading everything else in our cars. Matresses, pillows, breakable chairs, tools, weapons, food, clothing, desks, maps the mini fridge and medical supplies (not forgetting our minimal pack of ambrosia and nectar).

Katie shoved the remainder of the supplies our black SUV. "Where to next? We have nowhere else to go and the streets are overrun with demigods not to mention there are monsters crawling everywhere!"

I looked at Connor who was already smirking. On the off chance that problems like this were going to arise someday, the two of us mapped out several underground bunkers around the globe made by either other surviving demigods (which I doubt) or the demigods before who had ran away.

"Guys, we not only have one bunker, we have thirteen." I said holding up the map that pinpointed bunkers in thirteen different states.

Clarisse quickly snatched it out of my grasped and scanned it, finding the closest base nearby: Blue Island, Illinois.

Luke shrugged "How are we going to get there without being spotted?"

"Or killed?" Percy added.

I smiled evilly as I gave them a second map. "We also have secret routes, underground, through the sewers, and the forest."

Both Connor and I received smiles and high fives from everyone.

"So which route do we take?" Annabeth said she set the map on the table. I looked at the clock that read six fifty-nine.

I pinpointed our hidden underground escape route "We have about five hours before they get here, so the shortest route would be-"

"The underground route." Connor interrupted

"Let's go!" Chris said in to much of a hurry.

"You lead and we'll follow." Clarisse responded taking the passengers seat in the corvette.

Luke Castellan

We sped off following the Stoll brothers and Katie. I knew the special gifts of Hermes. The first thing to do is: Never regret being claimed by Hermes. I had learned that the hard way by listening to Kronos's voice. I guess he manipulated me when I came back from the Gardens of the Hesperides. I didn't really understand that I should appreciate my powers: I had the ability to sense traps and demigods, I could magically break locks and I could steal things without being noticed by mortals.

We traveled through several tunnels that were held up by concrete walls and pipes.

"We'll be there in about three hours." Chris said fiddling with his new and repaired celestial bronze sword.

Ahead of us, I saw Percy and Annabeth's camaro come to complete stop. I slammed on the brakes to prevent crashing into them and the car squealed to a stop.

"What's wrong? Why'd we stop?" I asked Percy as everyone else began piling out of their vehicles.

Percy ran his hand through his jet black hair. "Travis said that he spotted something. So we stopped. You can't doubt a Hermes kid and his abilities."

Suddenly, several demigods emerged from the shadows. All of them shared a few common traits. Their eyes shinned a pure evil gold. On their necks were collared chains with Kronos's symbol: a scythe. And they were all in a fighting stance, their celestial bronze weapons gripped tightly in their hands.

"Kronos will destroy the world. He will be King once again!" Eight demigods said in unison, darkness etched into their voices. Their faces broke into an identical twisted smirk before several began to approach.

"Not on our watch!" I said, that was our cue. "Attack Plan Macedonia!"

Percy and Annabeth quickly worked to fight of a son of Hephaestus and so on. Travis, Katie and Connor jumped into action and quickly destroyed a daughter of Aphrodite and several other dryads.

Chris, Clarisse and I's opponents were easily identified as a twins of Apollo. Both had blonde hair and the once blue, now golden eyes. One was covered in blood, the other had a giant gash crawling up from his wrist and reaching to his elbow. They both had on white sleeveless tees and dark black jeans along with steel-toed boots, making it hard to block their kicks.

Quick tutorial: To carry out Attack Plan Macedonia, one person attacks in front of "the corrupted demigod" while two others attack on both sides (one from the left, the other from the right). What you're trying to do is to surprise the enemy and to make sure he won't be able to fight the three at the same time giving the attackers (us) the advantage to defeat the "corrupted demigod". This battle plan works better when there are large numbers of people attacking and if you're the best swordsman in the last three thousand years after Percy.

We broke out of Attack Plan Macedonia and I faced an incoming demigod. I swung repeatedly being blocked every time. I faked a swing and watched as he tried to block. I moved in for the kill and the demigod suddenly became dust.

I looked around me and saw two demigods on both my sides begin to come at me. I pulled out my sword, Backbiter. I had been using a normal celestial bronze sword, to prevent any corrupted demigods to follow us. Now was the time to use it. As they were closing in the both held up their swords to attack, but I was faster. I quickly intercepted their strikes and used my disarming technique. Their swords clang to the ground and their bodies buried themselves to the hilt of my blades, before turning to powder.

A few moments later, the cars around us were covered with dust. Our clothes were stained and we all sported minor injuries.

"Let's get moving, we'll hopefully get there in time."

This will have more action in the chapters to come i hope you like the story. I will add Thalia and Nico in the next two chapters. this story is not complete yet so stay tuned :) - Slayer1002
