I'm not Rick Riordon so that means I don't own Percy Jackson

This takes place during the fight with Talos...

He raised his foot to stomp and I saw that his sole was treaded like the bottom of a trainer. There was a hole in his heel like a large manhole, and there were red words painted around it, which I only deciphered only after the foot came down: FOR MAINTENANCE ONLY.

'Crazy idea time,' I said.

Bianca looked at me nervously, 'anything.'

I told her about the maintenance hatch. 'There may be a way to control the thing. Switches or something. I'm going to get inside.'

'How? You'll have to stand under its foot! You'll be crushed.'

'Distract it,' I said, 'I'll just have to time it right.'

Bianca's jaw tightened. 'No, I'll go.'

'You can't. You're new at this! You'll die.'

'It's my fault the monster came after us,' she said. 'it's my responsibility. Here.' She picked up the little god statue and pressed it into my hand.

'If anything happens, give that to Nico.'

'Bianca, no!'

Bianca stopped awhile to apologize and I knocked her unconscious with the hilt of my sword.

'See you later Bianca.'

I pressed the statue back into her hand and charged at the monster's left leg.

Thalia had its attention for now. She'd learned that the monster was big but slow. If you could stay close to it and not get smashed, you could run around it and stay alive. At least, it was working so far.

I got right next to the giant's foot, trying to balance myself on the metal scraps that swayed and shifted with his weight.

Zoe yelled, 'What are you doing?'

'Get it to raise its foot!' I said.

Zoe shot an arrow toward sits face and it flew straight into one nostril. He raised his foot to stomp on her and I saw my chance.

I jumped and grabbed at the manhole, managing to hang on to the now 3-feet-off-the-ground hatch. I swung myself in and stumbled over to the control panel. There were probably about a hundred buttons and just staring at them made my head ache.

Suddenly I heard Thalia shout, 'Grover!'

I pushed the buttons randomly not caring what they did; I just wanted it away from Grover. Finally, I heard a satisfying snap and all the alarms began to blare. I took that as my queue to leave. Before I could even take step, the world did a 360 and tools, which were probably used for fixing Talos, flew of their shelves. I dodge most of them but one caught me on the back of my head. I fell onto the floor with a loud thud! The world blurred and my vision became hazy. I touched my head with my hand and it felt warm and sticky. I flashbacked to the first time I had encountered a hellhound and I felt the terror all over again. I struggled trying not to slip into consciousness and pulled myself onto my feet. I struggled to reach the opening.

CREAK!

Talos fell and I was thrown backward knocking into the control panel. Pain flooded me and I screamed. It occurred to me that I might not survive to fight another day. The sound of alarms blaring and metal joints creaking faded away and then, silence.

Dun dun dun!
