(Percy)

All around me was Chaos. Even with my ADHD I could barely keep up with all that was going on. The damn explosions and loud impacts constantly going on were not helping! I ducked down, dodging a vicious sweep to my head. Ephialtes were no joke. Otis was easier to defeat, not that it was a cakewalk. Even with dad helping me I was barely keeping up, both of us visibly injured. Of course, Ephialtes wasn't lily fresh himself. His missing arm was lying next to the indentation where his Redneck twin fell, courtesy of yours truly. Personally I felt he looked better that way. I lunged forward with Riptide, nicking the Giant's legs, while dad thrust his trident at his face.

"YOU WILL DIE PAINFULLY SEA SCUM!" Ephialtes roared as he countered the thrust with his spear, and attempted to step on me. I managed to roll out of the way, but suddenly Dad yelled out in pain. A golden line appeared on his face, causing him to reel back as Ichor spurted from his eye.

"FATHER!" I yelled. A wave of anger surged through me and I stabbed Riptide as deep as I could into the giant's calf, snapping the blade at the hilt. The Giant roared and lost balance. He fell forward, towards my dad who simply stuck his trident out and impaled Ephialtes throat. I tried not to gag when he became a golden sprinkled, painting my Dad's face gold.

"I hope your mouth was closed." I laughed, panting intermittently. That was one harrowing fight. My hands were shaking as I looked at what remained of Riptide. Dad wiped his face and threw some of the Ichor at me while getting up. "AUUUGHH! DAD!" I complained, trying to shake the nastiness off me. Even while injured, my dad managed to chuckle before looking me in the eyes. His left eye was wounded, but his right eye remained as piercing as ever. "Do not let yourself be overwhelmed son" he said firmly, "Not on the battlefield." I nodded and breathed deeply to calm myself. I wiped off what I could before quickly looking around to examine the situations. All the giants had been slain, with the exception of Porphyrion. I could see Annabeth and Athena had just slain Enceladus, the giant collapsing before turning to dust. "Go Percy." My father said, as if having read my mind. I looked back with a quick smile before I ran towards them.

"You okay Annabeth?" I asked before realizing it was a stupid question. She had numerous cuts and was panting like a dog. Still, she had energy to glare at me. I couldn't help but smile and hug her.

"Owowowow!" she winced "Im injured, Kelp head!" I retracted, "Oh shit sorry sorry!" She rolled her eyes but a smile had crept onto her face. Athena cleared her throat, "I don't think it wise to be celebrating yet." Annabeth brushed off some of the Ichor still on me, "Yeah. There is still Porphyri-" Another bone-rattling explosion drew my attention. With his head blown off, Porphyrion crumbled to pieces. Zeus' master bolt crackled from the discharge and dissipated. I could make out Jason hovering next to him.

A wave of relief washed over me as I realized it was over, and Gaia wasn't raised. "You were saying Wise Girl?" I smirked and got a punch in the arm for it. "OW!"

"Ass" she growled in annoyance. I smiled, "I'm just saying, it's over. World's saved."

Suddenly the ground shook and threw all of us off our feet. A fissure formed underneath me and I fell through "PERCY!" Annabeth yelled as she lunged to catch me. "YOU JUST HAD TO OPEN YOUR MOUTH!" Annabeth yelled at me over the havoc. "NOT NOW! JUST PULL ME UP!" I was hanging purely by her grip on my wrists. "WHAT. DOES. IT. LOOK. LIKE. I'M. DOING!!" Annabeth groaned as she strained to pull me up. The stream of insults she was saying as she did would have been hurtful in any other situation.

I scrambled up to her side of the fissure, and immediately saw a huge black spire had emerged from where Porphyrion was reduced to rubble. The spire grew to be more than double the size of Porphyrion. It suddenly became eerily quiet. "Please no please no please not what I think it is" I begged. The silence was pierced by a raspy woman's that seemed to speak directly into our minds. "My precious children… have been slaughtered…" the ground shook with each syllable. "I will claim this world… and return the favour… A thousand fold…" the voice dripping with venom, enough to make my hair stand.

The Gods and other heros were surrounding the Spire, readying for combat. "DO NOT WAIVER" Zeus bellowed at the rest, "WE STAND TOGETHER, SHE WILL TAKE NOTHING" I couldn't help but be impressed by Zeus' unexpected leader talk. "C'mon seaweed brain" Annabeth grabbed my hand to pull me up. Her scowling face was covered in dust. Yet I could make out her lips were quivering, betraying her furious demeanor. I was terrified too. I gave her a quick peck on the cheek "Don't worry. I've got your back." I assured her. "It's not that!" she yelled before her face softened "You almost died… again..." she shakily said with tears forming. Despite the situation, I pulled her in for a hug and whispered to her "I better not, cause I worked my ass off for a ring with your name on it." Her eyes widened at the realization "We'll make it out of this." I told her before grabbing her hand and running towards the others.

Suddenly, spire exploded and a cataclysmic shockwave threw me back. I was getting real sick of this 'Fus Roh Dah' shit. My ears were ringing and there was a lot of dust from the blast, making it hard to see. As I got to my feet I tried to look for Annabeth

"ANNABETH!" I called out, unable to hear my own voice due to the ringing. I strained to see through the dust-fog, calling her name again. Suddenly the dust cloud was blown away. I turned to see a towering woman, taller than any of the giants. She was made of black dirt and had trees growing out of her back. I knew instantly that was Gaia. She let out a roar that shook the earth, but I couldn't actually hear it. "Crap. I think Im deaf." I thought to myself. The other gods and heroes started to engage her. Zeus bombarding her with bolts, Hades sending black energy blasts, Artemis assaulting her with explosive arrows, etc.

"ANNABETH WE GOTTA GO HELP-" I turned to look for Annabeth and my heart stopped. The ground where she was was red. There was a trail of red with patched of Earth kicked up. "A..annabeth?" I called out shakily. My eyes followed the path of red, completely forgetting the battle behind me. I walked alongside it, till I found it. A huge boulder from the spire was splattered with blood. Sticking out from under it, was Annabeth with everything below her torso gone.

"No.." I collapsed to my knees and shakily reached out to touch her. She was just barely alive, blood spurting from her mouth. "No..nonoNONONONO" I yelled, holding her head. She was talking to me but I couldn't hear her. I COULDN'T HEAR HER. "APOLLO!" I yelled out, but they were using all they had to combat Gaia. They couldn't hear me. I felt Annabeth tug on my clothes, I turned to her.

"DON'T GIVE UP. YOU'RE NOT DYING. YOU-" my voice cracked. My tears were washing away some of the blood on her. She looked me in the eyes and mouthed some words.

"I CAN'T HEAR YOU ANNA-" She then went limp.

"Ann..annabeth?" I shook her. There was no response. "No… no..annabeth...please..." I shook her harder but to no avail. I hugged her tightly, kissing her, trying to bring her back. Nothing. I felt.. cold... numb. I looked around. The gods were in a bad shape, with Gaia knocking Zeus out of the sky with her hand, and my father using his powers to erode away her legs with a high powered water blast. All it did was slow her down. My friends were struggling to help their parents take down Gaia. I didn't care. Annabeth… I looked at her cold body and hugged it tightly. Then, I let everything loose.

(Artemis)

The battle was not boding well. Father has been heavily injured, and Ares was buried under a pile of rubble. The Heroes were trying their best but none of them had enough power to damage her enough. Not even that Perseus J- wait. He was not here, had he run away? I looked at the heroes and noticed Athena's daughter was missing as well. I felt my blood boil at their cowardice, I never expected th- no.. Perseus was still a male, I shouldn't be surprised.

I let loose a trio of explosive arrows at Gaia's eye, the explosion staggering her. With unexpected speed, she quickly retaliated, knocking me back. Pain laced my arms as I got back up. I suddenly felt very weak. I looked before me to find my bow had been snapped from the blow. I had just lost my divine symbol. I grimaced and drew my hunting blades. "I swear on the river styx.If we survive this, I will make your life hell, Perseus Jackson. " I snarled, barely noticing the thunder rumbling above. But just as I was about to dash forward, a blood curling scream filled the air. All of us, even Gaia, froze.

Turning to look, I saw the coward Perseus in the distance. His screams of agony grew louder and more deranged, I felt sadness just from hearing the scream. Then, I saw why. The half torn body of Athena's daughter was in his arms. I could hear Athena breaking down as well. He was walking towards us, cradling her and letting out such harrowing cries that I had to cover my ears to prevent from crying myself.

"The first of your children has perished, you will all soon follow" Gaia laughed, enjoying the boy's misery. As I readied myself for the attack, I knew that this would be my last fight. All of a sudden, Gaia stepped backwards "No… wh.." she muttered. I turned and felt my blades fall away from my hands. Perseus Jackson was floating in mid air and engulfed in a weird red aura. His usual green eyes were now glowing white. Yet he was still cradling his fallen love's body.

"PRIMORDIAL GAIA" Perseus spoke. But it was not his usual voice. It was layered with multiple powerful voices that seemed to make the world shake as it spoke. My very soul trembled. "YOU HAVE DESECRATED THIS WORLD FOR THE LAST TIME" Gaia looked terrified and furious at the same time "You should not be here!" she yelled back, shaking the ground. She swung her fist at the boy, Poseidon screaming "No!" in a feeble attempt to stop it. The fist made contact. Not with Perseus, but a barrier that sparked white upon impact.

"BY THE WILL OF CHAOS YOU WILL BE STRIPPED OF YOUR DOMAINS AND TITLES." Perseus continued. "No! I WILL NOT BE DENIED MY RIGHT" Gaia roared, slamming another fist to no effect. "YOU ARE HERE BY RECLAIMED BY THE VOID WHERE YOU WILL FACE JUDGEMENT FOR YOUR CRIMES."

A black portal appeared from underneath Gaia and tendrils shot out, wrapping around her and dragging her in "NO YOU WILL NOT DO THIS TO ME. I AM GAIA. PRIMORDIAL OF- " A black tendril wrapped around her mouth silencing her. "YOU ARE NOTHING." Perseus roared as the portal closed. The red aura faded and his eyes fluttered shut. He suddenly fell from midair. Poseidon and I rushed to catch him, but as was closest I managed to catch him.

The other Olympians and Heroes gathered around us. We stared at him, curled in a fetal position clutching what was left of Annabeth. His face contorted in agony despite being unconscious. The heroes started crying, seeing their fallen friend. Athena was barely in control of her tears. "We have, much to discuss." I heard my injured father call out from behind us, before we flashed to Olympus
