Percy's POV
I guess the craziness started on our annual field trip to Olympus. The war with Gaea had just ended, and we were excited to finally do something normal. I am facepalming myself right now, because nothing in my life could EVER be normal. Leo, Jason, Piper, Hazel, Frank, Annabeth and I were all their, along with the rest of Camp-Half Blood. All the gods were friendly(or not incredibly cruel)again, and as I said before, we were excited.
"Hey, you think Poseidon's gonna be here?" asked Pablo, my new brother. He came to the camp the day before, and everyone was shocked. Except me, of course. Who wouldn't want a brother?
"Definitely" I said. Then, as everyone squeezed into the Empire State Building, everyone's hopes were flushed down the drain. The receptionist was gone. In his place was a note that read: OLYMPUS IS CLOSED. WE ARE SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE- The 12 Olympians. "I don't know about you, but something's not right…" said Leo. Frank snorted. "The only thing that…..oh, Styx…" Chiron said.
"What is it?" Annabeth asked. I was shocked, because Annabeth knew everything that was happening at Olympus these days. In fact, she had told Hephaestus Ares' and Aphrodite's new hangout spot. If she didn't know, Zeus knows who did.
"Come" Chiron said, and he put a hand in his quiver. Oh, gods, I thought. He's gonna shoot something,.
But, instead of pulling out an arrow, he pulled out a bow. It was weird looking, too. It was made out of blocks, for one thing, and it was shimmering indigo. Then, he pulled out an arrow, which was also blocky, and shot it at the elevator button.
Then he pulled back, and…..nothing happened. The arrow didn't go anywhere. Everyone gasped, and when I looked up, there was an arrow imbedded in the button. What the…., I thought, but I became even more surprised when the door actually opened.
"Come" Chiron said, and we went in the elevator, which now fit everyone. "Chiron-" I started. "Shhhhh….." he said. "Listen". So,
I did, and heard the weirdest sounds I had had ever heard(Trust me, I've heard sounds that would make you cry). There were hisses, and moaning, and squealing, and explosions, and bone clacking, and bouncing, all above us. I also heard, "ARES! GO TO THE LEFT! HEPHEASTUS, GET RID OF THOSE CREEPERS!". Creepers?, I thought. And then the door opened.
Olympus was Armageddon.
There were blocky skeletons, zombies, and weird…..green THINGS that blew up when something got near. There were huge, blocky ghosts that shot fireballs from their mouths, and huge blobs of…..slime…bouncing around, bumping into the gods.
And yes, the gods were fighting them. And losing.
Zeus was hurling his Master Bolt at the flying ghosts, while Ares, Athena, Hephaestus, Dionysus, Hades, Demeter, and pretty much everyone else was getting rid of the zombies, skeletons, weird pig-zombies, and pretty much anything that got in their way. The twin archers, Artemis and Apollo, were shooting down anything that moved.
But it wasn't enough.
The monsters just kept coming, and the gods were becoming weaker and weaker.
Then, the sound of what I knew was something not very friendly rang out. It was a strange hiss, like a cross between the ghost's cries and the green-things hissing. Everyone, even the monsters, froze.
Then it flew up and shot Zeus in the face. "ZEUS!" pretty much everyone yelled.
Now that it was flying closer, I could see the monster's features. It was a dark gray, and had three heads, one on it's neck, and one on each hand. It shot skulls out of the hands, and they grew back, so it could shoot more. It had a skeleton-ish rib cage, which got narrower and narrower until it was a point. It flew right up next to the ghost's, shooting down the gods, one by one.
"Children, do not move!" Chiron yelled. Then he charged into the battle. Of course, everyone but Annabeth, Thalia, Nico, Jason, Piper, Leo, Frank, Hazel, Grover, Pablo, Tyson, Coach Hedge, and I all charged into the battle as well. "How did I know that was gonna happen?" said Grover. "Let's go find where the monsters are coming from!" I said. "Maybe we can destroy it!". So, Thalia opened her shield, Aegis, and we marched through the battle.
I guess even the weird block monsters were scared of the shield, too, because nothing bothered us. It was unnerving, having monsters all around us but not attacking. I felt Pablo shaking next to me, and Annabeth moving closer too me. I pulled out my sword, Riptide, and kept moving.
Finally, we saw where the monsters were coming from. It was a rectangle made out of obsidian, with a glowing purple…..substance inside. The monsters were coming through it, so I decided to the natural thing.
"CHARGE!" I yelled, and dived into the portal.
I went unconscious.
When I woke up, there was a sword point at my throat.
Me: BUM BUM BUM! WHERE DID PERCY & HIS FRIENDS TELEPORT? WHO WAS POINTING AT HIM?
ASFJerome: It was me, wasn't it?
Me: It was, but since you said that, it won't be anymore.
ASFJerome: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Me: MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
