At 4:30 am Percy's alarm went off. He and Annabeth quickly got out of bed and put their clothes back on. Percy then snuck Annabeth back to here cabin before everyone else got up. Luckily no one in the Athena cabin is tattles, or they'd be in trouble.
At 5 am everyone woke up. They all hurried to breakfast. Grover, Annabeth, Thalia, Alyssa, Beckondorf, and Silena sat with Percy at breakfast, since Dionysus was allowing everyone to sit with their friends because he believes we will all die.
"Hi," Grover said.
"Hey," Percy said
"I want to talk about Nico," Grover said.
"Who's Nico?" Alyssa asked
"Don't you remember? Bianca's sister," Thalia said.
"He's the reason this war is going to happen also," Beckondorf said.
"What did he do?" Alyssa asked.
"He joined Kronos' side and made him rise," Beckondorf said.
"It wasn't his fault! He would've been killed if he didn't!" Percy shouted at Beckondorf.
"Then he should have died," Beckondorf said. He got up and left to go to another table.
"I'll go calm him down," Silena said and followed him.
"Well, I didn't mean to start that," Grover said.
"Why do you even want to talk about him?" Annabeth asked.
"Well, one of is likely to find him, I just wanted to know what to do if we did. Do we trust him and help him? Or do we fight him?" Grover said.
"I don't think Nico did anything wrong. He was scared and my dad did a terrible thing leaving him with Kronos," Thalia said.
"I agree with Thalia a hundred percent," Annabeth said.
"But he's been a year since he's been with Kronos, who knows how messed up he could be, or if he's even alive for that matter," Percy said.
"He has a point," Thalia admitted, "I say if we find him that we just keep an eye on him until we know he's on our side, if he is then maybe he'll fight with us."
"Kronos will probably be making him fight for him though," Annabeth said.
"We'll just have to get him somewhere alone to find out I guess," Percy said.
After breakfast everyone went up to Thalia's pine tree. The camp buses would take us to an old airport, where we would fly to where we'd be going. The people that would be staying in New York would just go to Manhattan. The gods had evacuated the city.
Chiron stood in front of everyone. "I know, that this won't be easy, knowing that you could die any minute. But we can't let Kronos win! "He said, "We have to fight. You have all trained, for the past year, for this war. Not all of you will make it, you have to know that. But we won't let anyone's death be in vain, I want everyone to fight to the best of their abilities."
Everyone cheered. They all got onto the camp buses. Percy had to go on a different one than Annabeth since the ones going to New York took a different one. Most of them were staying in New York.
"I guess this is really goodbye," Percy said. He was holding Annabeth's hand.
"I'm gonna miss you seaweed brain," Annabeth said. She was about to cry.
"I just love you so much. I don't want to be away from you," Percy said. Now Annabeth was crying. Percy rapped his arm around her and kissed her. They didn't stop until Thalia came and pulled Percy away.
"We have to go now," She said. Percy followed her to the camp van.
"I don't understand why Zeus won't just let me transport myself there," He said.
"He doesn't all the gods to be there at once I guess, I don't know, besides now maybe we can get a chance to talk or something," Thalia said. We barely ended up speaking two words on the way to the airport. In fact, the entire bus was almost silent the entire time.
When we got to the airport there was no one there but the camp vans.
"Where is everyone?" Percy asked.
"I'll try to contact Zeus and find out," Chiron said. They were about 30 demigods, 30 hunters, and 30 satyrs here. Chiron went in the corner by a puddle from a leak in the room to send an iris message. He turned back towards us. "It's already started," He said quietly.
"What has?" Thalia asked
"The war! The war has begun! New York is already under attack! That's why the Olympians aren't here yet. Now everyone move!" He shouted.
Everyone ran to get their things and loaded on their plane.
"I got an iris message from Morpheus! He says that they are sending Minor gods out here quick to fly!' Chiron yelled. Most people were probably too busy to hear him though.
As Percy was getting his pack out of the camp van he heard a strange noise, like a fire cracker. Then he heard it again. It was a fire cracker though, it was a mini explosion.
"Where that coming from?" Percy screamed.
"I hear it too," Grover said. Everyone went silent. There was a laugh then a huge explosion. As the planes blew up, Percy looked for water pipes. They were probably in the wall, so the busted the wall and the pipes. Water busted out fast. In less than a second Percy managed to stir up a tsunami and threw it at the fire. It wasn't quite enough. Everyone was thrown back some killed. He turned all the water into a sea monster, and the fire seemed to do the same thing. Percy knew something was controlling the fire since it just seemed to keep coming. BOOM! Another explosion.
"Ahh!" Thalia yelled as her head was banged hard against the concrete wall. Percy made the water monster bigger, and it threw it self and the fire. Percy saw someone inside the fire, and he recognized the face. It was Hyperion.
"Get out of here you stupid bitch!" Percy yelled.
"Are you going to cry?" Hyperion mocked.
"I'm only going to destroy you for killing my friends," Percy shouted at him. Hyperion let the fire die down and Percy blasted him with the water. When the water cleared out Hyperion was just as he was unharmed.
Percy had noticed that the other minor gods were here. They were trying to help all the demigods get out of danger and get the injured, which happened to be everybody that was alive. He looked around for his friends. It looked like Grover was going to be all right, he saw Thalia unconscious but alive, Alyssa, Beckondorf, Silena, and Will Solace from Apollo were all aright with just cuts and bruises. He saw Jake Mason from the Hephaestus cabin lying on the floor in a pool of blood. A pipe was impaled in his stomach. It must have busted out of the wall during the explosion. That's a horrible way to die.
"You're going to pay for that," Percy told Hyperion. He grabbed riptide, and Hyperion grabbed his 6 foot long sword made of Stygian iron, but it was flaming.
Percy attacked him. Their sword clashed in midair. Hyperion let out a scream and fire spewed out of his mouth so hot it made Percy jumped back, and gave Hyperion enough time to slice him in the back. Percy jumped up and sliced at Hyperion but it was blocked.
Morpheus came to help. He started trying to put Hyperion to sleep, but it didn't work on Titans, it did however slow him down some. Morpheus distracted Hyperion By stabbing him in the back. Hyperion blasted Morpheus but Hecate flew up and started blasting him, of course it didn't really blast him, only make him stagger. But before Hyperion had time to turn around Percy swung his sword. He sliced his head clean off.
"He will be back eventually," Hecate told Percy. Twenty one dead, thirty-one with serious injuries. That's out of ninety two campers and hunters... Thalia was one of the seriously injured one.
"Chiron said she'll be fine," Alyssa told him. Percy nodded. They ended up having to get eleven private jets at the regular airport. All the injured people had to go and the dead bodies were transported back to camp. Percy couldn't get the image of Jake Mason's bloody body out of his head. They weren't sure if the war had started anywhere besides New York, but if it did they might already be too late. Percy said goodbye to Grover when he got on his plane. Percy, Thalia, Alyssa, Beckondorf, and Silena all got on the same plane.
The whole plane ride was pretty annoying to Percy, all the hunters were making sure everyone was okay the whole time, and they crowded around Thalia so he never even got to talk to her, and Beckondorf and Silena were pretty much just making out the whole time. Percy really wished Annabeth could be there. Was she even alive right now? No, she was, Percy would be able to feel it if she wasn't.
The plane landed in an empty space somewhere in England, but there was nothing around. Ares was waiting for them.
"I hope you aren't afraid of blood," He said
(This goes to New York)
Annabeth stumbled back to her feet and stabbed the drachaenae. Kronos himself was leading the attack, but she was still relieved that Luke didn't seem to be around. She saw lightning boom in the sky, there were explosions everywhere and monsters came in every direction. She didn't think she would last very long. Zeus had to force some of the Olympians to stay and help him fight because it was so bad here. It had been about five hours and New York was almost completely destroyed. Annabeth jumped around and saw a monster coming at her. She didn't know what it was. It was some freaky messed up hybrid. It has the top half of a wolf and then human legsā¦..naked human legs.
"Do you want me to slice your dick off or something?" Annabeth asked it. It growled at her. Then before she could even move he attacks her. She was barely able to block a bite to her face with her arm and she got a pretty bad cut. The monster went silent and stopped attacking her. It fell on its side and Annabeth saw an arrow sticking out of it. She looked up at the shooter. The shooter was Rachel.
"I could've handled that myself," Annabeth said.
"Ha, yeah right, he would have torn you into a million pieces," Rachel said.
"Why'd you do this anyways I almost killed you today," Annabeth asked.
"For Percy, when you die Percy will come to me since I saved your life so many times, then he'll love me," Rachel said.
"And what makes you think I'm going to die?" Annabeth asked.
"Oh, I'll be sure you don't make it out of this war alive," Rachel said.
"You listen to me you little whore, you don't know who you're dealing bitch, If you ever try to hurt me or Percy or any of my other friends, I will stab your fucking (can I do that on T) guts out, do you understand me?" Annabeth warned her. Rachel walked away and then pulled out an arrow and pointed it at a monster but then turned around and pointed it at Annabeth.
Suddenly, hundreds of monsters of every kind came charging towards them. They were both forced to retreat. Annabeth ran for her life. Rachel managed to jump out of the way and hide in an alley. Annabeth was running about to get trampled when someone pulled her into an alley. She saw The Stoll brother, Katie Gardner, Castor and Pollux, Lee Fletcher, and about twenty other demigods.
"Where is everyone else?" She asked.
"Annabeth," Connor said, "This is everyone."
