"Just go down will you", Percy said to the evil centaur, as he repeatedly stabbed Riptide into its side. The seven had made it back to Camp Half-Blood in one piece, only to find that both campers from CHB and Camp Jupiter were being slaughtered by Gaea's army. From the view of the Argo II , they saw the battlefield and what was happening to their friends. Bodies and weapons littered the ground, blood was shed everywhere. What once was a beautiful green hill, was now a sea of blood and bodies. Leo had landed the Argo on top of Half-Blood Hill, when it hit the hill Reyna ran up the plank to give them a report of what was happening.
"We've been fighting Gaea's forces for hours now. Just when we think that the battle is over, Gaea sends another wave of these monsters. ", she said as she tried to catch her breath. Percy looked at her closely, she was caked in dried sweat, dry blood, dirt, and monster dust. Her gladius was dull just from the look of it. She'll have a hard time killing anything with a dull blade, Percy thought to himself. As if he had read his mind, Leo appeared right next to her and gave her a sharpened Imperial gold gladius and a hug. Ever since her and Leo had taken time to talk to each other at the House of Hades, Leo and her have started to grow closer.
"Its Gaea's final push at the camps and the gods.", Leo said as he pulled a canteen of nectar, water, and a small square of ambrosia for Reyna. She thankfully chugged the water and sipped the nectar, then ate the ambrosia. Leo then started to check her for any cuts. She grabbed his hands and looked him in the eyes.
"I'm fine, Leo. Thanks for the water. I need to get back in the battle." Reyna said. They all scanned the battle and knew that if they didn't get in the battle soon, both camps would be destroyed.
Jason sighed and unsheathed his gladius.
"Why cant we ever come home without a war.", he said. Everyone silently nodded in agreement. Then they all ran into the fray, Leo with Reyna wielding a vile of gasoline and his Celestial bronze coated hammer. Hazel ran to Nico who was having some trouble with a pack of hellhounds. Frank ran with Jason and Piper to help Gwen and Dakota with a few dracnae. Annabeth ran to her brothers and sisters to help them with a herd of basilisks. Percy just ran to fight anything that needed to be killed, which was about everything.
When the centaur he was trying to kill for the past 10 minutes finally died. He again scanned the battlefield, and wish he hadn't. They were losing terribly. Nico and Hazel were fighting off another hellhound, to keep it off of Will Solace as he was trying to heal a Roman centurion with a quad tipped arrow through her right knee. Frank was shapeshifting from a lion, to a bear, then back to his normal self as he keep trying to kill another group of the donkey legged vampires. Jason was fighting alongside his sister, Thalia, cutting monsters own from left to right. Piper, Leo, and Reyna were taking on a group of Cyclopes, and were doin fine until Leo got cut across his lower back by a centaur. As Leo yelled in pain the centaur was goin in for the final kill, Frank the lion jumped in front of Leo, deflected the centaurs blade and jabbed a jagged edged Imperial gold dagger into its gut and sliced up through its head. Reyna, Piper, and Frank made kind of a circle around Leo as he took a quick swig of nectar and stuffed an ambrosia square in his mouth before jumping back in the fight.
Percy stared making his way to the four when he heard Annabeth scream in pain. He quickly turned to her at the feet of none other than... Kelli. Annabeth was clutching her stomach as blood was coming out of the wound. Kelli stood over her like she had already won. Blood roared in Percy's ears, adrenaline coursed through his veins, he gritted his teeth, his grip around Riptides handle tightened, then he charged at Kelli yelling defiantly at her. Percy raised Riptide above his right shoulder preparing to end Kelli's life. When he got close enough he swung Riptide at her... but she then sidestepped. He missed by an inch and when he missed he knew his mistake right then. When Kelli sidestepped she stabbed him in the stomach with Annabeth's dagger. Percy dropped Riptide and fell to his knees.
" I have beaten the all mighty Perseus Jackson!" Kelli screamed as she laughed wickedly.
"PERCY!", Annabeth screamed with tears in her eyes. She then grabbed Riptide and yelled Kelli's name. As Kelli looked at her, Annabeth slashed Riptide over Percys head. Kellis laughter stopped as she felt blood gush down her neck. She fell to her knees as she put her hands up to her throat and felt her life essence drain away. Blood squirted everywhere, from her recent meals no doubt, it poured out of her throat as she turned to dust. Annabeth then turned all if her attention to Percy, as blood just kept coming out of his stomach.
"WILL!" Annabeth screamed the young medics name with tears in her eyes and fear in her voice. As Percy clung to life, he heard shouts of victory. He smiled his home was safe but not just one home, both of his homes were safe. His mom was safe with Paul, the camps had united, and Gaea was gone. He had one what he had planned to do-except the fact that he was dying. Jason, Piper, Leo, Hazel, and Frank had shown up to see him. Hazel started to cry, Frank wrapped his arms around her. Piper looked away, Jason looked defeated, and Leo was fidgeting with some gears trying not to look at his friend slowly passing.
"Annabeth, this is really bad."
"I KNOW THAT, WILL"
"The blade went all the way through is abdomen, it most likely severed vital organs. I don't know if he'll make it." Will said sadly. As if to prove a point, Percy coughed up some blood. As she cried, Annabeth squeezed his hand as tight as she could. A circle had gathered as the campers dropped to one knee and prayed to the gods to bring back their friend/hero/champion.
"Percy," Annabeth said in almost a whisper, "please, please, don't leave me like this. I need you with me. Your mom needs you, the camps need you. I need you here. I just got you back. Please don't leave me alone. I Love you! Please don't go!" Annabeth bawled. Her tears fell on him, he looked deeply into her stormy grey eyes. Percy just smiled and stroked her cheek with his free hand, and pulled her down for a kiss.
Annabeth tasted the blood, but she didn't care. She kissed him for as long as she could, knowing that it would be there last kiss. As they pulled away, he grinned, and squeezed her hand tight.
"I-I-I Love you the most, Wise Girl, but this isn't the end. I will see you again. I promise.", he looked at Jason and Piper.
"Take care of my mom for me will ya?" Jason nodded.
"I promise."
He looked back at Annabeth and said, "Tell her I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I couldn't come home an that I love her."
Percy gave Mrs. O'Leary to Nico. His Minotaur horn to Tyson, who was bawling his eye out. Then he picked up Riptide and asked Leo to cap it. Leo did as he was asked and gave it back to Percy. He held it close to his heart and handed it to Annabeth.
"Take it please."
"Okay"
Annabeth took Riptide from him and held it close. Then Percy coughed out some more blood, and looked at Annabeth.
"Annabeth. I see them. Charles, Silena, and.. and... Luke. They're calling me. I love you Wise Girl.", and with that Percy closed his sea green eyes. His hand went slack in her hand as he breathed his final breath. Annabeth cried her eyes out as her best friend, boyfriend, and love of her life died protecting her.
