Second Chance

Prologue-

The Final Victory?

Third Person POV

It was the final battle of the Second Giant War. Percy Jackson was surrounded by Earthborn as he slashed and hacked away at Gaia's army. Things weren't going so well for the demigods. Nico was about to pass out for summoning too much of the dead to battle the Cyclops but he was still fighting a herd of evil centaurs. The Olympians couldn't come near the ground for the fear of being trapped in the earthen cages. Percy noticed the Stolls, Chris, and Hermes struggling against Hippolytus, the anti-Hermes. The Hunters and Artemis, who was soaring around the giant in her moon chariot, were failing to beat Gration. Leo, Hephaestus Aphrodite, (now deciding to be a loyal wife,) and the rest of the Hephaestus cabin were trying to defeat Mimas. The rest of the seven were trying to defeat Porphyrion as the other Olympians were trying to fight off Typhon who was brought back by Gaia as a wonderful surprise to her grand and great-grandchildren and the half-bloods, both Roman and Greek, were slaying monster after monster of the not so nice Mother Earth's army. Apollo couldn't even fight as he had to heal the wounded. The last four giants had the nerve to not die and the Olympians were weakening. If it was possible, things got worse in a matter of seconds.

Leo got knocked out by Mimas' fists landing in a trench of Greek fire. Hermes got hit by Hippolytus and was sent flying towards the ground causing Chis and the Stoll brothers to rush forward and catch him to prevent their dad being caught in the tentacle like earthen strands. They didn't notice that Hippolytus had cornered them until it was too late to escape. The monster kept on coming and soon the demigods would be outnumbered. Annabeth and Jason had been cornered by Porphyrion and would soon be blasted by the giant's spear but the giant wanted to wait until his spear was fully charged. Thalia and Phoebe were back to back as they were the last Hunters available to fight Gration as the rest were battling the small army that had sneaked upon them, unbeknownst to the Hunters, and were led by three drakons hence the need of the attention of the Hunters. Thalia and Phoebe's attention were caught when one drakon lunged at them and they had to turn their backs on the giant so no matter what they seemed doomed. Artemis, being the brave and bold goddess she is, rushed down to pull them up from harm 's way, not want to lose her lieutenant and favorite Hunter. She was semi-successful by getting the two girls out of danger but had gotten too close to the ground. The ground wrapped around her and began to pull her into the ground as it absorbed her energy. She couldn't even use her godly powers to escape, much to Apollo's dismay, whose full attention was on his "little sis" as he tried and failed to save his sister who would be soon no more.

Percy's POV

It would be optimistic to say that we still had a 10% chance of winning. So let's just say we were at had a nil chance of beating Gaia. I realized with a pang that I wouldn't see my mom again even though I had promised her that. My second promise I would break. And my last. I watched Nico barely lift his sword as pale as death, (not Death, Thantos had a darker skin and looked like a really buff cupid,) and Schist… Leo just fell into Greek fire. At least the Stolls, Hermes, and Chris were doing okay, wait never mind. The worst were the Hunters. I saw the drakon lung and I could see the Battle of Manhattan all over again. Poor Selina. That reminds me, I still owe Blackjack from all those years ago on the quest with Bianca and Zöe… At least I would see them soon. Artemis swooped to the rescue, just like taking the sky from Annabeth, but then Oh My Gods… She got too close and the Earth was bringing her in and taking her power. I saw a gleam of gold flash by towards her and realized it was her twin, the god of ummm….. Interesting… haikus. What could be worse? Gaia would get the Maiden Goddess's power and would rise. Boy was I wrong. I heard a familiar feminine scream.

My blood ran cold. Turning slowly my worst fears were confirmed. Annabeth was cornered, (oh and Sparky,) and had Porphyrion's spear at her getting ready to fire. This was the final straw. I raised Riptide above my head and did what my father would do if he wasn't occupied. I might as well go out in a bang. Directing it at the Giant King and where Artemis was trapped, I sent the most powerful quake, (thanks dad,) to them and four 30 feet waves at the army around Nico, the monsters around the Hunters, Mimas, and Hippolytus. The effect was instantaneous. The waves knocked the two giants away and dissolving the remaining monsters hence sparing my friends, but that quake…. Wow. It made the earth around Artemis crumble like a sand castle freeing her into her brother's arms, (cue aweing from Aphrodite and her children in the middle of a battle, like seriously,) and the best part was it sent Porphyrion tumbling causing his blast to go right into Typhon, who let's just say was sent back to Taurtarus due to the giant and the Olympians renewed effort, and saved the love of my life. The downside was that it was so powerful even I stumbled and it turned the Giant King's hateful gaze right at me. Oh gods, what had I done?
