Thank you for all the reviews. I made a poll between Reyna and Annabeth. Please Vote! _
Reyna's POV
The fight was not going well. We were badly outnumbered and unprepared. Monsters suddenly appeared and attacked at the same time the Greeks were going to land. I was asking myself a million questions. Did the Greeks plan this? Was Octavian right? Can we save camp? What can I use to torture the Greeks? I shook my head to clear my head. I need to focus.
Hellhounds were shadow traveling and appearing right in front of our forces then attack. Earthborns were throwing rocks and mud to keep us immobilized while the Hyperborean giants brought wooden clubs, ready to smash some unlucky demigods. A Gigantes was screaming orders to the monsters while throwing fireballs at the first cohort.
I can't stand it anymore, I need to defend my camp. I charged the Earthborns while riding Scipio. That way, they can't hit me with rocks because Scipio was too agile and nimble for them. I stabbed an Earthborn who wasn't even looking at me ant dived in to impale some with my dagger.
I saw Percy and my heart stopped from amazement. He was like a one man army, attacking, defending all at once. He summoned large of quantities of water from the Little Tiber and brought them all at once, turning dozens of wild centaurs into dust. He blocked, sidestepped, ducked gracefully then attacked at places you least expected it. He fought like a true graecus, unpredictable.
I made up my mind. I need to be like him. I need to protect camp and destroy the Gigantes. I turned around and saw the Gigantes get hit by Tyson's giant fist. The giant seemed annoyed then amused a little.
"Hahahahaha, you amuse me little cyclopes!", he bellowed. "You are unlike the others, join me and you will not experience a fate just like them." He pointed to Romans that were knocked out cold.
Anger surged through me. They can't just hurt my friends like that. I charged at the Gigantes. I slashed downwards but he seemed to have expected it and blocked then held the tip of my dagger and yanked it away with incredible power that I was forced to let go.
"You will face the wrath of Mimas for that girl", Mimas said. "I am the bane of the lame god Vulcan, and I will trample him along with the other Olympians!"
"I see you're much uglier than Lord Vulcan". I brought out my spear and told Tyson to help Percy. I'll handle this fool.
Mimas made fireballs appear from his hands and juggled them first and proceeded to throw them at me. I barely dodged one of them and another hit my arm. The pain was unbearable, I had the urge to bow down to him and say sorry but I held my ground. My vision was getting blurry but I kept attacking. At least I'll go down fighting.
The giant seemed to know where I would attack at him. At this rate, I had no hope. But I heard something, like a giant rock going hit the earth. I wish a meteor would hit Gaea right through her nose.
"Reyna!", Percy screamed, panting. He had a few cuts and bruises, other than that, he looked better than most of us. He pointed to the sky, right behind the giant. If the timing and direction is right and with the size of that boat …
I had an idea. "Hey, ugly! Mimas turned around quickly. He just accepted the fact that he was really ugly. "If you're so tough, why don't you come over here and fight me one on one?" I asked. I wouldn't recommend saying that to a real giant but I really needed it."
"You would wish you were never born into this world, girl." He ran towards my direction. This giant's not only ugly but stupid too, I thought.
"Yeah, I wish", I said taunting him even more. "So that I never got to see you're ugly face!" I looked around and saw Frank looking at me weirdly but Percy was grinning broadly. That was the only motivation I needed. The boat was coming closer now and thank the gods Mimas was too stupid to notice the loud noise. I think Mimas is in the right position now. I have to get away before I get smashed into a pancake too. I turned to run but Mimas held my neck in a vise grip.
"Where do you think you're going girly?", Mimas laughed like an idiot. "I thought you wanted to fight me one or one, or are you too scared now?"
Suddenly, I felt something wet. Oh, please don't tell me I just pissed in front of all the Romans. Luckily, I didn't. I looked down and saw that it was moving water. Percy might've been controlling this. In a blink of an eye, it blasted Mimas right in the face while he was laughing, which caused him to gag and drop me. I learned my lesson and quickly ran away.
For the first time, I saw the ship. It was only small but big enough to have 10 to 15 people in it. It was beautiful but it was a shame that it was going to land in Mimas' ugly face
Mimas coughed and had trouble breathing. "You think that will stop me? Come here and let me smash you all to bits!" We were a good 35 feet away from him.
"No", Percy said. "That will", he pointed to the boat behind Mimas. Mimas' eyes widened with realization.
"Goodbye, ugly!", Frank screamed. And the Argo II crashed into Mimas, hitting him square in the chest.
Percy's POV
The first thing I heard after the crash was: Ha! We survived! Pay up Connor.A few Romans snickered at this. I was glad that the Argo II was not fully destroyed, only partially. The insides were still intact which means the occupants were still safe.
The first one to come out was a boy taller than me. He had blond hair, blue eyes. Will Solace from the Apollo cabin.
Next was the boy who proclaimed himself as the "Supreme Awesome Commander of the Argo II". He has curly hair and eyes that were dark brown but rimmed with red. Has he been crying?
A buff girl with stingy brown hair came out and quickly examined the situation. She smirked. It was my old enemy, Clarisse from Ares cabin.
Two boys came out next. They looked exactly the same except the other one was taller. They both had crooked smiles and a mischievous glint in their eyes. Connor and Travis Stoll from the Hermes cabin. I gulped, this is not going to be good.
A boy with electric blue eyes, tidy, military cropped blond hair while holding a beautiful girl with choppy brown hair. She seemed to be unconscious. The boy has to be Jason Grace, son of Jupiter
Where's Annabeth? Didn't she come?, I asked myself. Finally, the girl I've been waiting for came out. She looked more beautiful than the last time I saw her. Her blond hair was neatly tied to one side and she was wearing her usual camp shirt. In other words, she looked gorgeous.
They just stood there until the commander dude spoke up. "Greetings Romans, I'm sure you've met me – as I'm very popular – and my lackeys, err , I mean friends." He pointed to the Greeks.
"Lies!", Octavian said. He was probably tired from the battle. Oh, Hades. The battle! It's not yet over! "You Greeks planned this. You know we would be weak and then show up to save the day so we can trust you", Octavian continued.
"Nice to see you too Octavian", Jason said. "Romans! It's me, your former praetor, Jason Grace, son of Jupiter. I know it's hard to believe but we really need to set aside our differences in order to defeat Gaea. I am your former praetor , you know that you can trust me."
"We don't care, you sided with the Greeks!", Octavian hissed. Sometimes I wish he could just shut his mouth.
"That's enough Octavian, I know a way to prove the Greeks are not our enemies. I pointed towards the still-many-but-depleted hordes of monsters. "Help , us defeat the monsters then we decide what to do.", I tried to sound confident. I saw Annabeth looking at me with disappointment. She must've thought I don't remember her. I mentally sighed , this was going to be looooong day.
The Romans seemed to agree with me as they found new enrgy in fighting monsters.
I glanced at Reyna. Her face was a mask of seriousness, not sure of what to make out off the Greeks.
"Then it's settled. If we win and protect camp then we will unite with the Greeks", Reyna said. I smiled at her, and said a mental thank you.
"Sure, I can't wait to fight anyway", Clarisse said. I'm starting to like her now.
All of us charged at the monsters - well not all of us - I stayed behind and ran to where Annabeth was.
""Hey, Anna – I was cut off when she gave me a bone breaking hug much stronger than Tyson's.
"I missed you so much, Seaweed Brain!", She squealed. Whoa, since when did Annabeth squeal?
I returned her hug. "So, where's my kiss?"
She pulled closer to me, slowly but surely and kissed me. It was a soft passionate kiss. She pulled away. I pouted at her. "We don't want your tough Romans see us kiss, right?", she chuckled .
Finally, after 8 months I'm going to be with Annabeth again. This moment could've been perfect if there was no war going on around us as we tightly embrace each other again, both of us missing the warmth.
"Now let's help them before they find out we're missing all the fun", she said. Same old Wise Girl.
Together we walked into battlefield promising each other that once this was over, we'd go on a date. Just the two of us. Perfect
