Chapter 2

The bellowing of the giant momentarily shocked us. I recovered quickly and strode up to Luke. A multitude of expressions flew across his face. Anger, bitterness, nervousness, jealousy, before ultimately landing on shame. I stood in front of him and stared him in the eye. We were the same height now and he held the gaze. The gods and demigods held their breaths, waiting to see what the Son of Poseidon would do. I remained there with a masked expression on my face. Then, without any warning, stuck my hand out for a handshake. Luke was taken aback, I smiled and told him, "If Hades thought it was right to bring you back to life for this fight, then he clearly thinks you've changed. So, im starting this off on the right foot. Maybe you can redeem yourself with this battle." He nodded, grinned, and clasp my hand. I then pulled him into a "bro-hug". What the rest of them didn't know, was that I was doing it to whisper in his ear. "I can't change what Thalia and Annabeth think of you, but if you try to betray them in any way, I'll send your ass to Tartarus where you can chill with the semi remains of Kronos," I pulled apart to see his face pale, before he nodded to me and said thanks.

Luke then turned to face the crowd of demigods. "Some of you I know. Most of you I don't." A ripple of quiet laughter went through the demigods. "First of all, I need to apologize for my actions. I was bitter at the gods and wanted change. I blamed my father for what happened to my mother," he choked a bit there, "I wanted the gods to accept their kids and treat them like actual children. Kronos twisted my mind into thinking he could help. I only realized after it was too late."

"I talked with the fallen campers. I made peace with them, so I. um I uh." He faltered. Bianca ran up next to him, seemingly awfully close to him and told the army what Luke couldn't. "He's not asking you guys to forgive him, he is just asking that you give him a chance. He accepted into coming with Hades because he thought of it as a second chance. He doesn't want to be resurrected, he just wants to redeem himself and change what he will be remembered for." Bianca blushed as she finished and stepped away from Luke. Luke also blushed once he realized the he and Bianca were so close together.

The campers looked around uneasy until Clarrise La Rue stepped forward. "We'll give you one more chance, but even then it'll be a while before we completely forgive you. I don't know if i'll ever forgive you for what you did to Chris." Tears pooled on her angry face before Chris walked up next to her and put a hand on her shoulder.

"Well I forgive you Luke. I was twisted by Kronos, like you. I never blamed you, but maybe it's because I had felt his magic as well."

Thanatos then scared the living shit out of me when he appeared next to me, " I believe you all should get ready for the fight, there will be many souls for me to reap. He stepped back, extending his two part wings, summoned his scythe, twirled it, and leaped into the sky. (AN: Look up Thanatos Smite its a free to play game of gods that i play and Than looks really badass in it.)

We were all fully equipped and ready for the fight of our lives. Children of Dionysus and Demeter we handing out juices and fruits. The Roman legion was mostly all in Imperial Gold, courtesy of Frank, Hazel, and mine's trip and Vulcan forging some weapons and armor. However, the Fifth Cohort was fully equipped with Imperial Gold and their supercharged Eagle which was held up proudly by Dakota. I felt the earthshake slightly as something came towards me, no two somethings. I slowly drew Riptide and whirled around to face them and found two giants.

Tyson and Braries smiled widely and clapped at seeing their brother. Braries sounded like he had made a thunderstorm. Tyson crushed me in 5 ton force bear hug. "Can't breathe."

"Sorry brother. We made you something for war. Well, a couple somethings." Tyson reached into a bag and handed me a long wrapped object. It felt pretty well balanced as I unwrapped it. I was shocked. In my hands was a 3 foot long Celestial Bronze trident glowing with a sea blue aura. I smelt the sea and felt a cool, ocean breeze as I gingerly handled this weapon. "This looks exactly like my fathers trident."

"Daddy blessed it with ocean magic but it is better. I turns into a trident charm on your wrist. And it shoots nets made of energy. O o o and it also returns to your hand when you throw it."

"THIS IS AWESOME THANK YOU SO MUCH TYSON."

"Braries has something too." Braries used 25 hands to take something out of his bag. Each hand held a different thing. The hand closest to me held the most beautiful helmet I have ever seen. It was celestial bronze with sea blue tint with waves etched into it. There was a plume of blue running straight down to the back. I put it on carefully. The inside of the helmet lit up and ran I authorisation check.

" Authorizing. Retinal scan: verified. DNA sample: verified. Fingerprint: verified. Welcome Perseus Jackson, Son of Poseidon. I am your armor. Please give me a name."

I sat there trying to comprehend what just happened. "How about... JARVIS."

"Please sir, that silly robot. Forgive me sir, but a better name please."

"Oh okay. Let's see how about" And once again someone interrupted me. Zeus was ordering us to battle ready. I rushed to put the armor on , which was very difficult as there were many pieces.

"Sir, allow me." The armor started flying towards me attaching itself to me. Riptide appeared at my side, and my trident on my back. I thanked the suit and ran to get with the rest of the Seven.
