Clarisse LaRue
I had to complete this mission. To save family and build a bigger and stronger army. I threw some clothes into my duffel bag and chose my best weapons. Maimer, two daggers and one sword. Right now my only family I had left was Ares, Phobos and Deimos. I slung the bag over my shoulder and entered the garage. The Stolls were loading their gear into the trunk of their SUV with Katie's help.
"Clarisse!" I turned to look at Chris. Who was carrying a small bag and his dagger by his side.
"Yeah." I called back stuffing my bag into the car's trunk slamming it shut.
"Everyone listen up!" Chris yelled causing everyone to freeze and give him attention.
"Last night I had a dream form my father. He told me that we might be able to save olympus, but that are downfall would be working as a team. As the god of traveling he gave me something very useful." He motioned for us to follow him and we obeyed. He lead us outside to where a large black van was parked. It was humongous, it had several headlights on it, missiles protruded from the top sides. It was heavily armored, two grappling hooks could shoot out of it and the windows were tinted darkly. There was a compartment at the top where someone could sit and shoot anyone down and a bulletproof shield would cover above and around them. Everyone was speechless and staring at the battle truck.
Annabeth took a shaky breath. "Alright, let's get packing."
We packed out stuff at the trunk of the battle van which was located at the side of it. Inside was very roomy and we all had enough space. There were two seats at the front, the driver and passenger seat. Two chairs at the next row, three chairs at the third row, and four chairs at the back row. It was eight o'clock pm when we decided to leave.
"Now who will drive?"Katie question causing the boys to argue among each other.
I grabbed the keys from Annabeth."Fine, since no one can decide I'll throw the keys in the air whoever catches them gets to drive."
They all gave me nods and I threw the golden keys into the air. Travis lunged at Percy who tried to use his powers to grasp the key. Connor went for Chris who was searching for the key on the ground. Nobody had noticed Luke who was standing in front of them waving the key around. Annabeth whistled loudly catching their attention and pointed to Luke who was smirking at the bruised demigods.
"Get in, it's getting late." Connor commanded, we all obeyed. I sat in the back row with Chris on my right and kelp face on my left who was holding hands with Annabeth. Travis and Katie sat in the second row while Connor sat up front trying to read a map. We traded off every three hours so every one got a turn to drive. We arrived at the Empire State Building where my brothers were being held captive.
"Alright we need a plan that place is probably guarded by demigods or Kronos himself." Luke stated as he took a shaky breath.
I gripped my spears handle turning my knuckles pale white. "I have a plan, Stolls keep everyone busy by shooting at the building, Chris, Katie and Annabeth you plant these bombs at the front, that will explode in thirty minutes. So we need to leave by then, traitor, Jackson you follow me.
They all listened. The three of us crept slowly waiting for the signal.
Annabeth Chase
I looked at the explosives that were handed to us. They had a thirty minute timer and had a radius of five feet, we had to plant four so we would stay twenty feet away. I started the timer and hid the bomb under some bushes. Something gold shimmered in the bushes, I unburried the plants and grass and found a golden key with a scythe on the head of it.
"Annabeth, we're ready." Katie motioned for me to join her. I ran towards her and looked back at Percy seeing his determined mood. I gave them the okay sighn and they snuck in through the double doors.
"Katie look at this," I showed her the key. She stared in wonder and looked back at me.
"The mark of Kronos. This will come in handy." She said as I nodded in agreement.
We strolled back to the Hermes boys who were loading guns.
"Connor, take the upper launcher." I commanded while he climbed up.
"Chris you and Travis snipe people." They nodded in agreement. "Katie you and I will shoot whoever is near or in range."
Clarisse LaRue
We ran through the hallway passing paintings of Kronos himself. As the villain he was very stylish he painted the walls golden and the floors marble. The ceilings told the story of how the the big three rose up to defeat their father, Kronos. We hid behind a wall seeing two demigods dressed in full greek battle armor guarding the door.
"Use your water powers to knock them out or something." I commanded. He shut his eyes and concentrated hard, water spread across the hallways and started to build up slowly. They stared in shock and drew their swords in fear and swung only making gaps that would heal. Percy's eyes shot open and the water blasted at the villains sending them flying bursting through the door. Kronos stood there staring back at us while we entered.
"Well, how exciting." He said in a non sarcastic tone.
"Where are my brothers." I demanded ready for a fight. Two giants appeared with Phobos and Deimos knocked out and bleeding badly.
Ethan smirked."You want them, go get them."
I charged straight for the giants along with Percy and Luke clashed swords with Ethan. Six demigods suddenly appeared before us but I was ready. My spear implanted itself inside of the shoulder of Brandon, the son of Aphrodite sending him into shock. I dealt with another demigod daughter of Demeter the same way. Percy had used riptide to fend off three other people.
"C'mon Clarisse, are you finally ready for a challenge." A familiar voice echoed. I turned to face my half brothers Mark and Sherman. They were great fighters but they were also clumsy. I swung at Mark and tripped Sherman, Mark parried quickly grabbing the butt of his sword he hit me right in the shoulder bruising me. Sherman was up and he swung slow but powerful striking me on my forearm causing a large cut that bleed out. I ignored the pain as I used a large vase to smash on my brothers heads ending the fight leaving them unconscious. I directed my attention to the cyclops who were fending off fish brain, who used his powers as a shield. I grabbed my spear and threw it implanting itself in the monsters throat killing it instantly dropping Deimos. Percy followed my actions and did the same. Luke and Ethan kept their eyes on each other fighting to win.
Luke Castellan
I slashed at Ethan and jumped backwards avoiding the sword swinging at me.
"You aren't bad, but I can so better!" Ethan roared swinging his sword at me. I used Backbiter to absorb the hit but I stumbled backwards. He grinned evilly and raised his sword above his head. I found an opening and threw my dagger at his stomach, the dagger flew and hit its target but Ethan didn't flinch. He merely chuckled and pulled it out of his abdomen.
Ethan's eyes turned red."You fool, I cannot be beat. Mortals fear me! Demigods fear me! My children fear me! I am fear!"
I then saw my biggest fear. I was there standing in front of everyone. In a flash they all were covered in blood and I had a bloody dagger in my hand. Kronos appeared in his Titan form.
"It's your fault they died!" he roared.
I looked up and I saw Phobos and Deimos in Clarisse's arms and Percy battling Ethan.
"Take him and go." I got up and took the minor god in my hands.
Connor Stoll
I carefully aimed the cannon and fired taking out twelve demigods at once.
'Man I loved this cannon!' I thought to my self.
I looked through my binoculars and looked at the figure hauling a body. It was Luke!
"Guys Luke's coming cover him!" I ordered as i loaded my sniper gun. I aimed slowly and fired. My bullet successfully hit the monster behind my older half brother. More and more I fired killing monsters and demigods. Luke finally arrived with Deimos over his shoulder.
"Where's Clarisse and Percy." Chris said with a look of fear he and Annabeth shared.
"They're still inside, A fight's breaking out." He explained and he cleaned his wounds off.
Annabeth started pacing back and forth mumbling something about fire.
"Annabeth, they'll be fine." Luke reassured her.
She stared at him for a while and said."I know but I when are the bombs going to explode."
A look of fear was plastered on every person's face listening to our conversation. i quickly grabbed my binoculars and saw the time they had left, 2 min 30 sec
"They can't make it they only have two minutes left!" I yelled in frustration.
"We have to go in there and get them out, or we loose not only great warrior but our loved ones!" Annabeth cried out. She continued to pace back and forth.
"I'll go," Chris volunteered getting up with his backpack strapped on his back.
"No it's to risky." Luke said. "If one of you goes you won't make it in time. We have to put our faith in them and hopefully they'll get out in time. But for the mean time try to clear out the exit."
i hopped back on the cannon at the top of our battle truck and kept firing and my targets would fly and land hardly on the ground. i sent a quick prayer to the gods for protection and looked back at the time. 48 sec. the clock read. I panicked and started to shoot randomly at the empire state shattering glass and sending chunks of rock into the air. 15 seconds. I stared at the entrance of the building not seeing Clarisse or Percy but angry monsters. Then the building exploded with Percy and Clarisse in it.
