I hoped you liked the first proper chapter. And I hope that this one will be just as good. Copy and paste any mistakes into reviews.

David Brown, son of Nemesis 16

I drew my black sword. The Laistrygonian Giant raised his club. We charged at each other. I was David Brown, son of Nemesis. I had been at camp for years and a single eight foot tall Monster was not going to stop me from victory.

My blade was knocked aside with his club and I retreated back to avoid another swing of his weapon. I ducked under a strike that could have taken my head off and moved forward slicing my opponent in the back of his leg. As he went down on one knee I jumped up and slammed the hilt of my sword on his head.

I attempted to stab the Giant while he was on the floor and have it done with but he grabbed my arm in its massive fist and threw me across the arena. I picked up my sword that I had dropped and got to my feet. I swung my sword against the Giants club.

I was on my knees blocking the Giants club strike. He was lazily pressing his weapon on top of mine with one hand. I moved out of the way as the Laistrygonian's fist smashed the part of the floor where I had just been.

I lunged, parried and thrusted my sword at the Monster but he kept knocking my blade aside with his club. I was only alive because he was too slow when he was striking. He tried to knock me off my feet but I jumped on his club and stabbed him in the arm, forcing him to drop his weapon.

The Laistrygonian punched me straight in the stomach, knocking the wind out of me. For a few seconds I couldn't breathe. I saw the Giant grab the hilt of my sword and scream in pain, as he took it out and chucked it to the other side of the arena.

I looked for a way to fight the Monster. The only weapon anywhere close was that massive club, which I probably couldn't even lift. I would have to take the Giant on in hand to hand combat. I was dead.

The Laistrygonian made a grab for me but I dodged out of the way. I landed a blow on the side of his head. It didn't have much effect, apart from making him mad. I ducked under a swipe and rolled out of the way of a viscous kick, grabbing my sword in the process and striking at the Monsters face, cutting his cheek.

I twirled my sword in the air waiting for the Giant to make his. He struck his hand out aiming for my throat but I stabbed him in the hand, forcing him to pull it away. The Giant tried the same again but with his other hand and I did the same.

I knew I was going to win this easily. He was as dumb as a tree stump and I was the one with a weapon.

The Laistrygonian slammed both of his fists against the floor. I jumped forward moving out of the way and plunging my black blade in to the Monsters stomach.

Adonis Omorfi, son of Aphrodite 13

The gate opened and a Scythian dracana came out. It was a humanoid female with twin serpent trunks instead of legs. She was armed with a net and spear with a Celestial Bronze breastplate.

I drew my bow and made the first the shot. You see my arrows are different from most. There similar to the ones that belong to my half brother Cupid. If I shot her with a lead arrow then she would hate the first person she saw. Me. But if I shot with a golden arrow then she would hate the love person she saw. Me. I was using the golden ones. It would be easier to kill the Dracana if it wouldn't attack me.

The Snake woman managed to dodge out of the way with surprising speed considering she probably moved like she was on skis. It chucked her net at me and I rolled out of the way and put away my bow and clenched my fist turning my leather glove in to a small hand held crossbow.

I slowly walked towards the Scythian dracana knocked the cross bow bolts aside with her spear or dodged out of the way. I pulled out my bow planning on using it as a close quarter weapon. The Snake woman knocked my cross bow out of my hand as soon as I came in range.

I swung my bow and it caught her on the side of her head and in return she threw her net on top of me tripping me up and causing me to crash on to the floor.

The Dracana stood over me with her spear raised above my throat. I pulled an arrow out from my quiver and plunged through a hole in the net and it went straight in to her snake leg. Only too late did I realise that it was an arrow made of lead. That means that she would hate me. Oh well it's not like it was going to make a big difference. I struggled to get the net off of me. The Monster's spear came right at me and I grabbed the wooden end of it just as it was an inch away from my face.

I pulled the spear out of the Scythian dracana grasp and used it to cut the net in half. I got up levelling the weapon in case the Dracana made a move.

The Snake woman dodged to the side and missed the point of the spear by an inch. I took another swipe but she simply jumped backwards and grabbed my cross bow. I hit her arm before she could aim the cross bow and attempted to strike her in the face but she grabbed the spear with her hand and wrapped one of her snake legs around the wooden end and snapped it in two.

The Scythian dracana bent down and picked up the part of the spear that had the point on it. Our weapons clashed together. I struck her in the waist and made a lunge for her face but the Snake woman blocked it and kicked me backwards.

I made another attempt but she blocked the strike and stabbed me in the stomach with the point of the spear. I looked up and saw that the Monster was smiling.

Alicia Munroe, daughter of Hebe 12

The Hellhound began to circle me. I had been elected because I was the leader of the Hebe cabin. At age twelve I was one of the youngest to do this by changeling someone. I drew Nectar and got ready to face my opponent.

Nectar was the name of my knife that could be transformed into a sword by pressing the cup (which was the symbol of Hebe) that was etched in to the handle. Despite its lack of length I kept it in knife form. I couldn't really use the sword very well, it was too big. I had the same problem with armour and that was why the one I was wearing now that was enchanted to weigh nothing. Besides I was an expert with a knife, I could even impress the Ares kids. And that was not an easy thing to do.

I lunged at the Hellhound with a whirlwind of fast and viscous movements. The Hellhound I was fighting was the size of a bear. There have been bigger ones, like the one at camp that's called Mrs O'Leary, who was the size of a tank.

I slashed my knife at the Monsters side and whirled around turning my blade in to a sword just in time to back off an attack that probably would have killed me. I kept my sword level knowing that if I shrunk it back in to a knife then the Hellhound would take advantage of its lack of length and try to strike.

I took swung my sword but the Hellhound jumped right over me. I pressed the cup on my sword and blocked a claw that was going straight at my face.

The Hellhound rested its claw on my knife for a few seconds and then swiped at my leg leaving a nasty cut and forcing me to fall down. I rolled out of the way as the massive dog came crashing down on the spot where I had been a few seconds ago.

I got too my feet and rested on my sword (yes I had transformed it again) because of my injured leg. I swung my blade upwards, trying to keep my balance at the same time. I knew that I would be dead soon. The Hellhound was a very nimble creature and it would be near impossible to beat it with my sword, which I had to use to keep my balance. I decided to take a chance. I turned my sword back in to my knife and fell backwards.

As I expected the Hellhound jumped at me attempting to tear at my throat. I wacked him (I think it was a him) with the hilt of my weapon and he went sideways landing on the ground. I swung my knife widely and when stabbed the Monster.

Penny Jewels Trudel, daughter of Poseidon 15

It was ironic thatdecided to put me up against a Gryphon, considering my past with them. When I lived in New York I encountered a Griffin in central park. It was my first Monster and I have fond memories of it. During the fight I destroyed a few trees (so a couple of Satyrs hated me) and created a crater the size of a room. Now it is a favourite sledding spot for kids in the winter. Unfortunately I got banned from Central Park for six months. Small price to pay for not dying.

The Gryphon cawed at me, while raking it's talons across the floor. I squeezed the birth stone on my necklace and it immediately turned in to a Celestial Bronze sword. With some of the kids if they had special power then they could bring something in the arena to help them. In my case I had chosen a small pool of salt water. I took a few steps backwards as the Gryphon slowly approached.

The lion/bird Monster shot towards me with such impressive speed I barely had time to register what it had done. I used the water behind me to launch me straight up, dodging out of the way.

I got behind the Gryphon raising my sword, getting ready for an attack. The Gryphon had was ready for this and shot a claw right in my direction. I managed to block the first and second claw strikes, but the third hit me and I flew to the other side of the arena.

I saw that my wounds was bad perhaps even fatal. Maybe not right away but I would be weekend by the loss of blood in about a minute. My only chance was getting to the pool of water. But the chances of that were about as equal as Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort becoming friends on Facebook. Then again if we Demigods are good at one thing then it is doing the impossible.

The Gryphon was in the air and coming towards me. At the last possible second I slid right underneath it and sprinting towards the water. I probably wouldn't make it in time, the Gryphon was a great deal faster than me and my side felt like it was on fire. I felt a great force crash in to me propelling me in the pool.

I instantly felt refreshed and better. My wounds were healed and my mind was sharper. I sent a wave out at the Monster forcing it to back off. In doing this I had spilt almost half of the water. I had to be more careful, if I got wounded again then I would need to be able to heal myself.

The Gryphon was in the air and didn't seem to have any intention of coming down. So I decided to take the fight to him. Like before I used the water to jettison upwards, dodging a razor sharp beak and landing on its back.

I used my sword to hack at one of the wings and making a big injury. The Gryphon toppled over and crashed right against the wall of the arena. I thudded against the ground and saw a massive bird head in front of me. Wasting no time I picked my blade off the floor and drove it through his head.

Taryn Locke, daughter of Ares 15

I was facing a giant scorpion. I would win this easy. I pulled out my sword and swung it backwards; turning in to a knife, then twirled it like a drumstick, making it in transform to a spear. I balanced the weapon out in my hands.

The scorpion shot its stringer at me and I planted my spear in the ground, using it to pull myself out of the ground like a lever. I swung my spear around the point of it cut threw its stinger. Not all the way but enough to cause it to retreat. Poison sprayed out of the wound. A bit of it landed on my and it burned through my sleeve and I had to resist screaming in pain as some of it landed on my skin.

I ran towards the scorpion and pole vaulted over it, narrowly missing a stinger. I plunged my spear in to its tail. The scorpion squirmed in pain for a second then stood still. For a second I thought that I had killed it but then it reacted like lightning. It turned around and using its pincers cut my spear in half.

I slowly moved backwards with the blunt half over my spear in my hands. I twirled it around and if transformed in to half a sword. I looked over and saw that the spear that was stuck in the scorpion's tail had transformed to a broken sword as well.

A slick, black, pincer sailed over my head as I ducked and charged forward. I knocked the other pincer out of the way and was about to stab downwards but stinger came at me. I managed to block it but the force of the strike knocked me backwards.

I threw my broken sword like a knife (they were more or less the same size, anyway) and it cut off the Monsters stringer. More poison sprayed threw the air but I was ready this time and dodged out of the way. I jumped over the scorpion's pincers and on top of its sleek body. I made my way down to the end but, I had forgotten about the tail. The stinger may not have attached but it was still a blunt and powerful weapon that sent me to the other side of the arena. I got too my feet just in time to dodge the same tail, as it came towards me.

I sprinted towards my broken sword and scooped it up, once again deflecting the tail that came at me. I turned my sword in to a spear and grabbed a half of it that was stuck in the scorpion's tail. With both parts of the weapon on my hand I was knocked a couple of meters in the air.

While I was in midair I connected my weapon together and came plaiting down. I landed on my side sitting there for a second, until I pincer came my way and I rolled right under the scorpion. I got my spear ready and stabbed in it. For a second I thought it was going to crush me but it just turned to dust.

If you didn't get the memo for the last chapter then you should know that I need pets for each of the characters that live for round 2. I used MAEDE KIN briefly in the final chapter for Rise of the Monster I The Spear of Ares. I hope you don't mind.
