Percy Jackson

I slid out of the bed I was sleeping in and uncapped my double edged sword Riptide. I followed Annabeth as she led me outside of the bunker. Right outside was four hell hounds and six demigods. I charged straight for Garrett, a son of Hephaestus. His sword clashed against mine as I blocked his offensive strike, he threw his dagger at me and I ducked just in time barely avoiding the pointed blade. I slashed at his ankle catching him off guard as he fell to the dirt. I stabbed him in the chest enough to kill him. I left him lying there and started to help out, Katie had strangled two hell hounds with the poison ivy nearby, Travis and Connor helped confuse a hound while Annabeth attacked it. Luke killed a hound on his own and Chris and Clarisse took care of the demigods, by giving them internal bleeding slamming their heads into trees and various things. After they were all killed we headed back to our bunker.

"How did they find us?" I questioned them as we all entered the infirmary and surrounded the single bed. Thank the god's Travis and Connor added nectar and ambrosia.

"While you were asleep we sent two people to retrieve supplies;" Annabeth said as she shot a glare at Travis and Katie who all of a sudden found an interest in there dirty shoes.

"Well it wasn't our fault we're so attractive;" Travis said in a joking manner. He pulled out a duffel bag fatter than him and lined up what was in the bag. He brought back with him was several mops, silver rods, a fur coat, a pack of water, ten long wood canvases, plates, spoons, and forks.

I stared at what he brought "What use are these things! I could tell what the water's for but the rest!"

"Listen up" Travis snapped "We can melt these things and mix celestial bronze in them and make new weapons."

"Have you noticed that none of us are sons or daughters of Hephaestus." Clarisse stated as she sharpened her spear.

"We don't have to be sons or daughters of Hephaestus, we can just use what we have." Katie said obviously backing up Travis.

"Fine, let's do this." Luke answered for all of us. We entered the weapons and training room and got to work. The mops were not very useful, as we all know you can't melt sticks. The silver rods, spoons, and forks worked very well. I made a double bladed sword and used the glass from the plated to make spikes on the side. Clarisse became crafty and created a swinging mace, Luke had two pipes bent to look like bull horns.

"I'll be right back," Clarisse sneakily said as she dashed out the door.

I followed her out, but no one noticed I was gone. As soon as I was out there the first thing I saw was a sword pointed between my eyes.

"It's just me don't kill me." I panicked nervously, thankfully she moved the sword away from me.

"What do you want, Jackson." She rudely said as she stared out to the gleaming sunset.

I stuttered but I managed to speak normally."Nothing,"

"Then why are you here?"

That question dawned upon me, 'Why am I here?'.

"Did you think Kronos killed them." Clarisse asked as I thought hard. Then I noticed who them was: Phobos and Deimos.

"They're alive," I reassured her.

Clarisse only got madder. "How do you know, maybe Kronos took the energy out of them killed them instantly."

Then I realized how Kronos was controlling them, using fear. We need Phobos and Deimos to defeat Kronos there was no other way!

"That's it!" I smiled with glee. "Kronos took your brother's power's that's how he's controlling everyone. We have to get them back."

"How do you know all of this." Clarisse questioned me as she whipped her head around.

"It makes sense, do you want you brother's back or not." I beat back showing an argument.

"Fine let's tell the other's first." She agreed we walked into the fortress to find them waiting for us with listening ears.

"How come all of a sudden both of you have gone missing and one of you aren't dead, injured, or missing a body part." Annabeth said as she snickered in between along with the people surrounding her.

"We have an idea that will help us win." Clarisse responded taking a seat next to Chris.

I stood forward and met the eyes of each and every one of them. "Phobos and Deimos, as you all know are the minor gods of fear and terror. Well Kronos took their powers away."

"So if we rescue my brother's we might be able to use Kronos' power against him." Clarisse interrupted. They all thought of it for a while either confused or ready to say yes.

"Wait, but who will go?" Luke responded adding another problem to our hands.

"Not all of us can as you can see. We have to protect our fortress from enemies coming and we have to send three people to get fear and terror." Katie spoke up from the back.

"I'll go!" Clarisse volunteered immediately. "Their my brother's so don't argue with me."

"Two more people," Travis said trying to drag Connor out of the table he was hiding in.

"I'll go." Luke stood. "I need to face Kronos, give him what he deserves."

"I'm in." Chris stood side by side with Luke and Clarisse. " I need payback for him driving me crazy."

I stared at the warriors who volunteered. "Start packing."

They started grabbing swords, spears, daggers, and other pointy things along with medical supplies such as ambrosia, nectar, bandages, and gauze.

"Wait, guys don't you think we're moving to fast. Speeding into things." Katie said concerned. She did have a point, Kronos doesn't just take you and let you go. Maybe he's luring us to come to him.

"Guys, she's right. Maybe he wants us to come to him." Travis admitted taking Katie's hand.

"Well they're not wrong." Luke gritted through his teeth swinging backbiter around like it wasn't dangerous.

"It doesn't matter if he's luring us or not! Imagine if you have immortal brother's you would do the exact same thing!" Clarisse screamed.

I knew Ares children were arrogant but this was something else. "You don't understand! If we send the three of you you'll all end up being another one of his servants! We don't need to loose anyone else! We are the last survivors!"

"You don't understand, none of you do." She muttered as she stormed out of the room with tears in her eyes.

Chris Rodriguez

I watched the argument unravel before my eyes. I was started to walk forward but Katie stopped me "give her some time"

I then walked to our shared rooms and sat on my soft bed. I stared at my sword gleaming from the bright light in front of me. I remembered now, the day I collapsed.

"Stop resisting!" Kronos and Luke's voice screamed. Luke had been fighting Kronos's control. Ethan Nakumara approached him looking confused.

"Master,-" Ethan started. But yelled in pain. His eyes turned gold and Luke collapsed on the ground. A golden light shimmered around him. I ran and hid behind a large bush and watched the scene in front of me. Ethan had completely changed his appearance, he was now wearing golden Greek battle armor with red paintings of a war, his hair had a streak of blonde, and his eye patch was gone.

I ran off to the hill four miles away but I collapsed.

"Chris, you're on watch duty tonight along with Clarisse and Percy. Good luck." The Stoll brothers laughed as they ran down the hallway. It was ten o' clock shift ends at six. Eight hours of argument and screaming. I strode down the hall walking toward the steel door and saw Percy there. He looked up from his sword when he saw me coming, I sat down across from him sitting cross legged. We sat there and stared at each other for about ten minutes. Clarisse arrived sending a glare to Percy who only clenched his teeth holding back his anger.

"Are we just going to do this all night!" I barely said over a whisper getting more and more frustrated.

"We are fighting a war here! And you two can't put your differences aside and try to work as a team!" I screamed probably waking some of the other heroes.

"I don't need another lecture from someone about working with someone especially, Jackson." Clarisse got up and walked away I heard the door slam shut, so I knew she was mad.

"Chris, you don't have to side with her all the time you know." Percy pointed out with a yawn. I looked at my watch it was three in the morning three hours left.

I grabbed my laser from my pocket. "Let's go, we have to sleep. I'll set an alarm in front of the door."

He trudged back into his room and I set my alarm in front of the door and went back into my room.

Clarisse LaRue

I trudged back into my room slamming the door not waking the traitor. I sat on my bed and thought about the decision that I was going to have to make. Was Jackson right or should I go rescue my immortal brothers? I heard footsteps getting louder and louder. Quickly I locked the door and saw a shadow in the window of the tinted door.

I put a chair in front of the door "What now, Chris. Here to tell me what's right and wrong."

Sea water smell filled the room and the door opened and Percy Jackson stood there with a crooked smile plastered on his face.

"What." I started to pick up the broken pieces on the floor and threw them in the trash.

"Look I'm sorry. I was wrong I would have done the same for Tyson if they had him." He chuckled slightly to himself as he continued."Chris was right; I mean we're fighting a war and we can't even get along."

Luke cleared his throat signalling he was wide awake. "So, are we going to get them back? Or are we going to sit here and listen to you two argue for another decade?"

We walked to the cafeteria which was just a room with food and a single table.

"What's the plan, are we just going to attack head on?" Luke piped up.

"Wait? Who is we? And what do you know that we don't" I blurted out looking at his suspiciously.

"Well we is anyone. I know where they are keeping your brothers. I forgot-" He started but was cut off my Percy.

"You forgot! I've been trying to read a book about a map! Do you know how long it took me to at least read a page! Three hours!" He screamed waking the others who came running to the door. Surprised by the screaming everyone was armed with a weapon.

"What's going on here?" Travis questioned us. "You know Chris passed out in the hallway"

Luke snickered and I sent him a death glare causing him to fall out of his chair.

"We have to discuss our plan, to retrieve my brothers." I told the group as they lowered their weapons.

"Can we all change first?" Annabeth asked, then I realized we were all wearing pajamas. We all got up and changed into a black skinny jeans with silver combat boots. A blue shirt with a leather jacket which was a gift from my dad.

Luke wore a white blouse with a pair of black converse. His sandy blonde hair looked pale white in the light, the scar on his eye looked like it had disappeared. Travis and Connor dressed the same but with different colors. Travis wore blue leather jeans and an orange letterman jacket while Connor wore a yellow leather jeans and a purple letterman jacket. There brown hair were parted to opposite directions one left and right. Katie had on a flowery shirt with pink jeans. Percy had a sea green hoodie with a grey shirt inside and a trident necklace. Annabeth had on a purple shirt with a denim jacket. Chris had finally woken up and put on a leather vest with a camp half blood shirt.

"Let's start over but with no arguments this time." Katie glared at both Percy and I.

"Alright, we go on the mission. But we work as a team." Percy announced like he was the leader.

"Who voted you leader?" I remarked. Annabeth, Katie, Travis, and Connor raised their hands. Percy only chuckled at the vote.

"As I was saying. Four people will go to-" Percy gestured for Luke to continue.

"Olympus. He took over after the gods retreated into hiding." He frowned at the thought.

I sheathed my sword. "I'm going of course, Chris and Luke volunteered. We need a fourth person."

"Ok, let's even out the odds. Travis and I are horrible fighters. So that counts us out." Connor said admitting the truth.

"Wait, why can't all of us just go? The more people the better chance we survive." Annabeth smartly proclaimed. Everyone was thinking about this and it really was a hard decision.

"Then I guess we're all going!"
