PERCY POV
Everything hurt. My head burned like hell, and I was in the ocean. I was clinging to the edge of my consciousness : I could feel it. The tides carried me far and far away. I racked my brain to remember.
(Memory)
"Campers! Stand and fight! The titans are no match for us!"
I yelled, and the campers started to fight harder. I snarled, cutting through a giant, and lunged at a hellhound. It disintegrated with a 'YOOFF!' I grinned. One down... about 2 thousand to go. And a titan. I started cutting through the monsters. The bridge was broken, and I could see the ocean. Not so far... I borrowed some powers from it and charged at a horde of empousai. They hissed, but stood no chance against angry-and-wanting-to-rest-a-bit Percy.
"Take that!"
I smirked. The monsters growled, but parted. I frowned. My ADHD was keeping me staring into a spot for long time, but this was important. As I was starting to get bored of it, Kronos stepped out.
"Yo, Kronos. Did you want to say hello to your grandson?"
He scowled. So, technically, he was my grandfather... EWW. Kronos charged, raising his scythe. I blocked, although the impact jarred my body. Then I realized a thing. My back was unprotected. My Achilles heel! I whirled, but way too late : I felt a pain worse than anything coursing through my body. I let out a scream. Now I was going to die. But I didn't, and I wasn't thankful for it. Kronos sank his scythe into the ground, and a shock wave erupted. I flew towards the ocean, and started sinking slowly to the bottom.
"PERCY!"
A female voice, probably Annabeth's, screamed, but I couldn't respond. I just wanted to get away from the pain right now.
(Memory ends)
"THE WAR!"
I yelped. How could I forget? What if we've already lost? I shook my head. That wasn't going to happen... That should not happen. Never. Period. Now, if you were in my situation, you will try to go back to Manhattan, but I couldn't. There was a bigger problem - a.k.a A battle ship in front of me.
"Oh gods,"
Was all I had to say before the mortals, probably the army, noticed me.
"Who are you?"
I heard, before seeing a bunch of gunpoints pointed at me. I gulped.
"I'm... a teenager. I am just out for a surf."
"Don't try to lie,"
A soldier growled.
"We know you are lying. So are you one of them? Do you turn in to a robot? Huh? No, I'll shoot you first before you stand up like it was FUCKIN' NOTHING!"
The soldier made me feel a Déjà vu. ' "Iapetus shall crush you!" A Keres shouted. "Who?" I asked, before running her through with Riptide. Note to self : if you vaporize monsters, they can't answer your questions. '
"Ironic..."
I muttered, before stumbling to the edge of the ship, a bunch of guns still pointed on my bloody(literally) back. I turned, and grinned.
"Hey, thanks for well, making me feel awkward. Anyways, hey, thanks. Although I think all of you are a bit mental."
"Don't move!"
The soldier from before yelped, aiming for my head.
"Or I shoot! FREEZE!"
"Oh yeah, sure.."
I sighed, but froze. There was a gigantic robot. A robot. I stared for a minute, before pulling out Riptide. I yelled.
"WHAT THE HADES?!"
"I wonder what that means, boy,"
A blue-and-red robot grumbled, before training something that looked suspiciously like a missile on me. I gulped. That was... unnerving.
"Who are you? Are you on Megatron's side? Why are you here? What is that blood?"
"Okay, first of all, I'm Pe- Perry Johanson (I inwardly smirked. Thanks, Mr. D!). For the second one, no. I don't know what 'Megatron' is. And I said I was surfing before. For last... this is.. Ketchup."
The robot rolled his eyes. I gaped at it, before returning to earth. Now, the robot was glaring at me. Just as he was about to open his mouth, a teenager ran to his side. He panted.
"Wait...Optimus... He.. I think... I know.. him."
"Look for yourself, then, Sam."
'Sam' gazed at me, and exclaimed.
"You ARE! You were the one who put a hole in St. Louis Arch! I saw you jumping out!"
"Been there, done that,"
I grumbled, before straightening.
"Okay, I don't want to explain. Alright? But first, I am going to Manhattan. And then, if you manage to follow, I'll explain."
Swallowing 'If I live', I started into the robot's eyes confidently. He nodded, and I whistled. Few seconds later, a black steed flew down from the sky. I grinned.
'Blackjack : To Manhattan. FAST!'
'But boss, you'll die if you go there. The war-'
'It doesn't matter! If my friends die, I die WITH them!'
'If you wish so, boss.'
With everybody staring in amazement, I hopped on and flew to Manhattan. Without hesitation, Optimus Prime, Sam and Bumblebee followed.
I stared. And stared. In utter shock, I slowly moved through the destruction and corpses. Nobody was left. No monsters. No titan. No campers. I started to run towards the Empire state building. I burst through the elevator, barely noticing the robots transforming into a car and riding on the strangely-enlarged elevator. I didn't notice that there was no music. I burst out the door, and ran towards the throne room. I heard the booming footsteps of the robots behind me, but I didn't care right now. I couldn't care right now. A cold hand gripped my heart. What if.. What if... I shook the thought off, and pushed open the majestic doors.
SAM'S POV
That Perry guy ran through the town. On the air. I still couldn't believe it : A TOWN WAS SUSPENDED IN THE AIR! I tried to run and catch up with Perry, but he was fast. VERY fast. He ran like a madman towards a door, and threw it open. Alright, so the room was supposed to be beautiful. But it was not right now. Everybody was kneeling on the floor, tied by golden chains. Monsters and a man with golden eyes was standing, and the people who was radiating powers were disappearing one by one when the golden-eyed man said something and pointed at them. Perry let out a strangled cry. The golden-eyes looked at him, and smirked.
"Oh, Perseus Jackson. You finally arrives. So you wanted to join your friends? And you brought some friends. Wonderful!"
Perry didn't seem to be hearing anything right now. Optimus grimaced as Perry sank to his knees. A tear ran down his cheek.
PERCY's POV
I can't exactly describe that feeling, but I'll say it anyways.
Emptiness.
Regret.
Rage.
Sorrow.
Madness.
Pain.
Basically, it felt like my inside being ripped out. I stared, tears blurring my vision. I whispered.
"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry... I'm... I... "
I couldn't say anything anymore. I burst into tears. I knew that I had to do something. I knew that I had to charge at Kronos and kick his butt into next century. But I couldn't do anything. It was like my bones has melted. I couldn't move. I couldn't talk. I just sobbed. Just then, a voice broke through my trance, awakening my senses once more.
"Stand up, boy. Fight against him. I know you can."
My vision cleared. I was kneeling helplessly. The campers and the gods were watching me, an equal pain etched on their faces and some crying. I straightened. I couldn't let it end like this. There was no chance after this. No later. No future. I took out my beloved weapon, Anaklusmos, and uncapped it. It sprang into a 3-Feet long celestial bronze sword, earning a bunch of snickers from the monsters. I readied myself, and charged. Kronos just swung his scythe around, looking problem-free. Little did I realize that Riptide was glowing blue from energy, or the olympians were giving all their powers to my blow. It is their hope, I thought, my blade crashing against Kronos's. It made a sharp, grinding noise, until the blade glowed and snapped in two. Everything looked slow-motion from that moment. I don't know if Kronos was using his power or it was just me, but it looked slow. The scythe, cut in half clearly, shattered, many of it embedding itself in my stomach and causing a wave of pain. I brought my blade down on his neck letting out a wild battle cry. The blade connected with the skin, and cut through it. Kronos was still for a moment, then he burst into golden ashes. I stood still, not believing it. Kronos was gone. I killed him. He was back in Tartarus once again. I panted, the ashes forming a circle around me. I walked towards the campers, who were smiling really big. I started cutting through the chains, and I was done soon enough. Everybody was around me, cheering. But I couldn't see very well. Well, the others noticed it when Sam, who had apparently seen the blades sink into my skin, pushed through the crowd, yelling. Though, what really gave them the hint was I collapsing, coughing up blood. Shouts of alarm rang through the air, but I heard it like some cottons were shoved into my ears. I let go of my consciousness as soon as a warm, comforting hand lifted me up. The last thing I saw before I blacked out was a worried smile that matched with a pair of sea-green eyes. My lips started to form the words 'Dad', but my vision went black before I did it.
