A/N PENULTIMATE CHAPTER! Also, I might be writing in a different style because I freaking SUCK at writing battle scenes. The demigods will mostly be paying attention to fighting each other and not the other people.
(Percy)
They all rushed towards each other, attacking and slashing and rolling. The new kid in the red and blue costume immediately shot webbing at Percy's hands, binding it together. He probably had pegged Percy as the biggest threat. Smart guy.
"Annabeth!" Percy called, tugging his hands fruitlessly and dodging as War Machine shot multiple blasts at him. Annabeth was sparring with Natasha. "Little busy here!" Percy gritted his teeth. The next time Rhodey shot a blast at him, Percy held up his hands.
Like he'd hoped, the blast broke apart the webbing put didn't hit Percy. He grinned, pulled apart a few extra strings, and pulled out Riptide.
Time to find out if Celestial Bronze could deflect arc reactor beams. Apparently it could, and it was deflected off Percy's sword and back at War Machine, which took out one of the blasters on his arm.
"Bye!" Percy said and ran off.
The Spider-Man swooped in and tried to web Percy's hands again, but Percy instinctively deflected it off his sword. It simply stuck to it. "Yes!" The new kid yelled. "Hey, Mr. Stark, I got it!" Tony yelled back, "Great! See if you can web him to the ground!"
"Oh, no." Percy said. "Not on my watch."
Spider-Man shot blast after blast of web at Percy, making comments every time, each one Percy dodged. "Is your suit made out of water-proof fabric? You know, Mr. Stark said you're only seventeen, which, I gotta say, is awesome. You know, I'm only fifteen."
"Alright, you're done." Percy said finally, drawing on some water from the pipes in the ground.
The cement cracked, and a spray of water hit Spider-Man in the face. "Ahhgg!" Spider-Man yelled, and swooped away to find another victim.
Percy saw a shadow go over his head and saw a huge truck flying through the air and landing on War Machine. Percy ducked just in time and ran away, because he knew enough that that definitely wasn't a water truck.
Clint and Wanda ran up to Percy, panting. "That's our ride." Clint said, pointing to the quinjet in the hanger. Annabeth saw where he was pointing, abandoned her fight with Natasha, and darted towards them along with Nico, Hazel, and Leo.
Half of Leo's shirt was burned off, so you could see all of his scars in all of their glory. Hazel had a streak of dirt across her face and Nico seemed to be even paler than usual.
"Come on!" Steve yelled, and they all rushed towards the quinjet.
A yellow energy beam sliced a red line across the asphalt and they all stopped. Vision floated over to them, along with the rest of Tony's team. "Captain Rogers." Vision said. "I know that you think that what you're doing is right. But for the collective good, you must stop now."
Sam looked at Steve. "What do we do, Cap?" Steve gritted his teeth and pulled his shield out of its holder. "We fight."
"This is gonna end well." Natasha muttered. The two teams started striding towards each other. Percy had a random vision of what a mortal would think if they saw what was happening now. Two groups of people in costumes walking towards each other with grim determination on their faces.
"They're not stopping!" Spider-Man said.
"Neither are we." Tony replied. Both teams started running towards each other. Jason was heading towards Percy.
ANNABETH VS PIPER
Piper ran towards Annabeth. Annabeth drew her bronze knife and stared at her, like, I dare you. The two girls slashed with their two knives, though they were a match for each other.
Piper hated herself for doing it. She hated everyone for fighting for each other. Yet she did it anyway. Annabeth gritted her teeth and attacked with more venom. Their fight drove them all the way across the airport.
Piper knew that she couldn't go on like this forever. "Annabeth, drop your weapon!" She insisted in her best charmspeak. Annabeth froze uncertainly, which gave Piper time to disarm her and pin her to the ground. Annabeth choked, but kicked Piper in the gut and jumped back up again.
Annabeth didn't have a weapon, but that didn't mean she couldn't fight. She mostly played defense, while Piper played offense. Then Piper risked a glance behind her and saw Jason kept in a swirling water ball by Percy. The horror of the scene made Piper freeze.
Annabeth kicked Piper in the chest, causing her knife to fly out of her hands. Annabeth dove to grab it, and stood up again. Then she ran off to Clint and Steve who were talking about something. Piper struggled to get up, but she knew it was no good.
She wouldn't be able to fight off that many people.
FRANK VS NICO
Frank saw Nico striding towards him, swinging his Stygian Iron Sword. Frank roared at the challenge and turned into a lion, and charged towards Nico. Nico raised his hands and skeletons rose from the earth, charging Frank right back.
Frank tore through the skeletons like a knife through butter, but the skeletons kept repairing themselves. Frank glanced up and saw the new guy had grew to the size of a building. It seemed like everyone else had it under control, even though Tony said, "Okay, so if anyone on our side has any shocking abilities they'd like to reveal, now is the time!" That worked perfectly, because Frank saw that slicing the skeletons wouldn't work, so he turned into a dragon and roared even louder.
Half the fighters in the airport stopped and looked up in fear, a red dragon's shadow falling over them. Then they recovered and starting fighting again. Frank blew fire at the skeletons, and they melted into bone goo.
Nico looked a little nervous, but swung his sword and sliced Frank in his scaly leg. He howled, and blew a blast of fire at Nico, who deflected it off his sword, but it melted the tip of it. Nico tried to raise more skeletons, but he seemed to realize he didn't have the strength.
Frank turned back into a human, drew his bow, and held the tip of an arrow against Nico's throat. "I really don't want to kill you." Frank said. "So please don't struggle." In fact, he doubted that he could kill him even if Nico was about to kill Frank and there was a golden opportunity.
Nico went limp. Frank had won, but somehow it felt like that Nico hadn't tried his hardest.
(Annabeth)
Piper was frozen, and in the meantime Annabeth ran off to Clint. Clint and Steve were talking.
"Yeah, as much as I hate to admit it, if we're going to win this one, some of us are gonna have to lose." Clint said, glancing at Annabeth. Annabeth absorbed the statement. Prison. That's what surrendering was going to mean.
Hazel and Percy ran up as well. "Hazel, can you disguise us?" Annabeth asked. Then she noticed Hazel was limping. "Oh my goodness, your foot!" Hazel gritted her teeth.
"It's fine. Yeah, I can disguise us. We can't be too obvious about surrendering, though. We'll need a distraction. Something big." Steve nodded.
"I got something kinda big." Scott's voice sounded in their earbuds. "But I can't hold it very long. On my signal, run like heck. If I tear myself in half… don't come back for me." Bucky looked confused.
"He's gonna tear himself in half?"
"You're sure about this, Scott?" Steve asked. Scott shrugged.
"Yeah, I do it all the time. Well, once. In a lab. Then I passed out." That didn't give Annabeth a lot of confidence, but then Scott grew to momentous size.
Spider-Man yelled so loud that Annabeth could hear it all the way over there. "Holy-"
"Okay, the tiny dude is big now." Rhodey said. "He's big now." Sam grinned.
"Way to go, Tic Tac!" Scott grabbed War Machine's leg with glee. Tony rushed towards Scott and fired a bunch of explosions at him
Scott let go of Rhodey but held his ground. "You wanna get to them… you gotta go through me." Peter swooped over and wrapped webs around Scott. He tried to move but fell over, crashing to the ground.
He shrunk back to normal size and flicked his helmet off. "Does anybody have some orange slices?"
PERCY VS JASON
Percy watched glumly as Jason flew towards him and drew his gladius. Percy reluctantly drew Riptide and raised it in a defensive position.
Greek vs Roman. Celestial Bronze vs Imperial Gold. Both boys are the greatest swordsmen in their generation. Both are fighting as fiercely as possible.
They swung and slashed, dodging and stabbing. Eventually Percy pushed back Jason and held his sword to his neck. "Yield." Percy said. "You never could beat me." Jason's face hardened. Then he yelled. Lightning flashed, and Percy was thrown backwards.
He sat down hard and smelled a burning scent that he was pretty sure was him. Jason slowly advanced, and Percy could seem to find the energy to get up.
He reached out his senses to find water. There was a huge water tower to their left. He closed his eyes and water gushed out of the tower.
Water flowed everywhere. Percy was suddenly flooded with new energy. He jumped up and Jason stared at him. A wave flew up and landed on Jason. He spluttered and fought, but Percy didn't hold back. A glittering sphere of water rose around him and trapped him. Jason's eyes rolled to the back of his head.
Someone was calling Percy's name. Was it Annabeth? Somehow it didn't feel important. Then he locked eyes on something behind him and lost all his anger and concentration.
Jason collapsed on the ground, coughing and retching. Percy didn't even look over, but thrust out his hand to pull the water out of Jason's lungs like he'd done once before. He'd be in prison, but at least he could say that he tried.
War Machine was falling full speed ahead to the ground. Jason saw this-who could breathe again but looked weak-and controlled the winds to try and catch Rhodey. He looked exhausted, however, so the winds didn't do much.
Both Falcon and Iron Man rushed towards the ground to try and catch Rhodey, but Percy knew that it was too late. War Machine hit the ground with a dull thud, dirt flying everywhere.
Percy winced, but out of the corner of his eye he saw the quinjet flying away. Steve and Bucky had escaped, but had also condemned everyone else to life in prison, unless they could find a way to escape. The odds seemed pretty low, and Percy didn't know what to think.
A/N I'm sorry if this was a bit rushed, I was kinda on a tight schedule. The next chapter will probably be the last, but maybe not, depending on how long it is. Shout out to reviewers:
