AN: So I have been close to updating for three days now but stuff kept getting in the way. I have tried to keep the giants fighting who the myths say they did. Also please forgive what I am going to do to some of the characters in the chapter.

Chapter 3: Sacrifices

Argo II

The Seven of the prophecy and the Gods looked over the edge of the Argo II. Down below them was the last of the Giant army. In numbers the army was smaller than even the army Kronos used to attack through the labyrinth. There were only thirty fighters. There were no extra monsters but one of them was Khione. The other twenty-nine were all giants. Seven giants stood in front of the other.

Up until now Porphyrion was the largest giant they had encountered. But now he seemed almost average. The largest giant had deep blue skin and wore bronze armor and stood seventy-five feet tall. Poseidon looked over at Percy noticing where he was looking. "Eurymeon, the giant that became king after the defeat of Porphyrion."

"Who are the others?" Piper asked.

"The peacock colored one is Phoitos, my bane," whispered Hera. Phoitos had short grey hair. His armor was a coppery brown and was carved with the faces of cows. He was around thirty-five feet tall.

"The pink one is Damysos, he is my bane," Aphrodite said, "He is the fastest and ugliest." Damysos was the smallest at only twenty feet tall with black armor.

"That blood colored one with drool all over his face, that punk in Echidandes, he is mine," said Ares. This giant was about forty feet tall.

"The aqua one is Hippolytus," said Hermes. Hippolytus was forty-five feet tall with wings coming out of his back. His eyes seemed to flicker with blue fire.

"That big silver one is Mimas my bane," Hephaestus said. The giant seemed to reflect all the light that hit his skin. He had no hair. Instead Flames made up his beard and covered his head. He had the ears of a donkey and the horns of a ram. He was fifty feet tall.

"There is also Agrios and Thoon the bane of the fates, Periboia the daughter of Porphyrion, Mimon the other bane of Ares, Gration and Tytus the other banes for Artemis and Apollo," Athena said as she analyzed the field. "Aristaios one of the two giants that live through the first war," she said pointing to a thirty-five foot tall giant that looked slightly like a dung beetle, "As well as Sykeus the giant Gaea turned into a fig tree," Athena added this time pointing to a thirty foot tall giant with fig branches for hair.

"And Peloreus the many armed giant," Hades added as he pointed to another seventy-five foot giant.

Percy looked at Annabeth she didn't look optimistic and looking at Athena Percy knew that their chances of winning were slim to none. The Athena Parthenos stood proudly on the deck of the ship.

"We'll win," Percy's voice sounded more confident than he felt. "We face impossible odds before. But I didn't get kidnapped, lose my memories, and travel through Tartarus to be beaten. None of us came here to lose. Together we can win we can beat them Western Civilization won't fall without a fight."

"Amen," Jason said as he walked up to Percy. He held out his hand and said, "Together."

Percy took it and said, "Together." He turned to Athena, "Can your statue transport people?"

"Yes."

"Send it to Camp. I imagine the Romans have arrived there by now. Use it to bring all the demigods here, to Olympus. If they are faced with a common enemy…"

"A good plan except they have already united. The rest of the giants are already at Half-blood Hill. They are fighting their own battle."

"The statue is supposed to be the key so how can it be the bane of the giants? What powers does it have?"

"It is a symbol of my power it makes those around it wiser and better at battle strategy but that is all."

"Yes, but the prophecy said 'Giants' bane stands gold and pale' so it must have some other power."

"Maybe we should just drop it like a bomb, see what happens," Leo said. Athena looked ready to kill. "Okay, okay sorry."

"Actually it's not a bad idea," said Percy. Athena glared at him. "What's the worst that can happen, it breaks. If we lose this battle it won't matter anyway. I say we give it a shot."

Percy looked over at Annabeth. She was looking at him curiously. It was the first time since she woke up that she wasn't in his arms. They looked into each other's eyes. Percy stared into those pools of grey that were so similar to her mother's. He began to memorize her pale face. Her golden curls. Percy froze. Pale and golden. His jaw dropped. "It's you," he whispered.

"It's me what," Annabeth said looking confuse and irritated.

"The giants' bane."

Poseidon seemed to catch on to Percy's line of thought. He too was looking at Annabeth now. "Could it be possible?" Poseidon asked turning to Athena.

She looked as irritated as Annabeth. "It is," she said tentatively, "But it is unlikely."

Just then the Argo II lurched sideways and began to fall from the sky

Camp Half-Blood

Octavia had led the Roman in the attack on the Greeks. He realized now how much they had underestimated them. First there was the issue of entering the camp. They had assumed that because they were demigods they would be allowed in. But as it turned out since they had come as enemies they weren't allowed in. Before the Romans could try to figure out a way through however the Greeks had attacked.

Their strategy had been flawless. And in a half an hour the Romans had been pushed back into a trap and all been chained to the ground. There had been some wounds on both sides but no casualties. On big burly girl with string hair walked up to Octavia.

"You must be that punk Octavia that Jason mentioned."

"So he did betray us," Octavia had growled in response.

The girl glare at him and for a second Octavia was scared. She raise her spear that seemed to crackle up in front of his face then said, "I can see why he didn't like you. But Chiron said not to hurt any of you." The girl then turned to Reyna and baked, "Release her."

To boys with mischievous looks walked up to Reyna and opened her chains. "Stolls, keep an eye on this one if tries anything then…use your imagination."

"Traitor!" Octavia had screamed.

"No you foolish child." The voice had come from the woods and out from them walked Lupa. The silver wolf looked down at the legacy of Apollo with hate. "I would expect better of a Roman," those words had nearly destroyed Octavia. Lupa turned and addressed the rest of the Romans, "You have been tricked. The son of Hephaestus did not fire upon New Rome. Octavia saw that the boy had become possessed by an eidolon. He use his hatred of the Greeks and the possessed boys actions to turn you against each other. His actions have crippled the gods who are now torn between their aspects. His actions would won the war for Gaea if it had been allowed. Reyna simply asked for my help."

"Lupa please," Octavia began.

"Save you apologies boy and leave the family you have betray. You shall never step foot in Roman or Greek territory again."

And so Octavia had been banished. Reyna and Clarisse had united the camps. It was true that there was tension but for the time being they were allies. Then the giant had shown up. There were five of them but they had also brought along an army of at least three hundred monsters.

"You ready," Clarisse asked her knew friend.

"What's a matter? Scare?" Reyna replied.

Clarisse look at their enemy, "A little yeah."

Reyna sighed then whispered so only Clarisse could hear, "Me too."

With that the war began.

Olympus

The Argo II slammed into the ground sending dirt, gods, demigod, and chunks of celestial bronze flying everywhere. "WOUND DON'T KILL!" Porphyrion bellowed and the giants attacked. Jason was confused why would they want to wound them then he realize that they still needed two demigods' blood to wake Gaea.

"ATTACK!" Zeus bellowed. But the dust was so think no one could tell what direction. The earth was shaking as if there was a 10.0 earthquake. Suddenly there was a huge blast of wind and they could all see again. The seven began to pair up with their parents. And a few giants fell it dust.

Percy and Poseidon fought in two hurricanes but their attacks were countered. Leo and Hephaestus were on fire and seemed in a stale mate with Mimas. Annabeth and Athena where doing the best having already killed three giants. Hazel and Hades were battling Eurymeon and where evenly matched. Piper, Aphrodite and Hera were fighting Damysos but they were having trouble keeping up with him. Frank had turned into a dragon and was currently blasting away at any giants that came in range. Jason and Zeus were once again battling Porphyrion.

The battle carried on for forever with neither side gaining ground. Suddenly the braying of donkeys echoed around the mountain. The giants panicked. "Still scared of an ass I see," bellowed Hephaestus in triumph. Giants began to crumble left and right until the only enemies that remained where Porphyrion, Eurymeon, Phoitos, Mimas, and Damysos. Suddenly Khione launched herself at Leo.

The Giant fell back as everyone began to watch the clash of elements. Then the dragon that was Frank joined the battle. Leo was knocked aside and Frank continued to fight the goddess. Turning back into a human Frank pulled out his sword and continued. Battle resumed around them but Percy continued to watch his friends and as he looked around he realized that Hazel was missing.

Percy summoned a massive blast of water and pushed Phoitos away long enough to locater he. She was close to the remnants of the Argo II where she and Hades had been fighting Eurymeon. She wasn't moving.

Percy ran over to her pulling out ambrosia as he went. When he got close though he saw that ambrosia would do nothing. The daughter of Pluto's throat had been slit. Percy turned back to the battle and saw that Frank was looking in his direction. He must have seen something that in Percy's face that told him all he needed to know. Frank's face contorted with rage.

As Frank looked at Percy he knew Hazel was dead. But as he looked behind Percy Mars' words finally made since. Percy was holding back he was only fighting at half. He needed a push to fight at his full strength. And behind Percy Damysos had gotten a hold of Annabeth.

Frank looked at Annabeth and together they understood what had to be done. Frank had to distract Percy. Khione also had to be taken out of the picture. Hazel had had the piece of wood that was tied to Frank's life I her jacket but now it was in Khione's hand. "Now Zhang don't do anything stupid," the goddess teased.

"How about this?" Frank responded as he ripped the chart wood from her hand. He willed it to burn and it lit. His strength began to drain as he drove the board into Khione's chest. There was an explosion that sent Frank flying. Khione was burning from the inside out and in seconds she had turned to golden ash. Percy ran over to Frank.

"Why?" he asked.

"Because you needed the push," Frank responded as the last of the wood burned.

Percy looked around most of the gods were out of commission. The only ones left standing were Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, and Hephaestus. Jason was flying around Porphyrion's head blasting it with lightning. Zeus' thunder bolt had been knocked out of his hand and he was now fighting with a sword. Poseidon and Hades were blasting beams of energy at Eurymeon. Leo, Piper, and Hephaestus where still fighting with Mimas. And Percy realize that Damysos was missing and more importantly Annabeth.

He looked around wildly and saw them further up the Mountain. Damysos was standing next to a set of ancient coble stone with the daughter of Athena in one hand and a spear in the other. Percy began to race toward them but he knew he wouldn't make it in time.

"You will wake or last brother, you should be honored," Damysos yelled.

"Stop fooling around and kill her Damysos," bellowed Eurymeon.

The pink giant nodded and through Annabeth on the stones. Like lightning he plunged his spear into Annabeth's stomach and her blood covered the stones.

So in response to the Guest that put in their review that they hope this won't be a Percy gets betrayed by everyone story no it isn't and if it were you could just deal with it since this is my story and NOT yours. However I didn't do this out of spite I planned on killing Frank and Annabeth from the beginning. Hazel was only done cause that was the only way I thought she would give up the piece of wood that was Frank's life. I am going try to get the next chapter up today or tomorrow. I won't be mean and just leave you hanging like this and again please forgive what I did to Hazel, Frank, and Annabeth. I do have plans for them in the future but right now they are all truly and honestly dead.
