"I'm Reaper the one who is going to kill you guys," Reaper said as he kicked Percy across the face sending skidding towards Ty. Percy picked himself up slowly and turned back towards Reaper. Reaper was in a slouched position with his hands in his pockets. His axes where stuck in the ground in front of him glowing lightly. Percy picked up his sword and dropped his shield to the ground. Ty staggered up to his feet and approached Percy slowly.

"You will try," Ty managed to cough out. Reaper looked up with a raised eyebrow at the two of them. "But we will not let you."

"Really," Reaper said as he looked at the two of them. "You can not even stand. Your friend's power is draining quicker than yours even at your current state. You two are no where near ready to take me on."

Percy looked at him slacked jawed. He could feel himself starting to weaken rapidly. Percy fell to his knees and coughed looking back at Reaper who was smiling from ear to ear.

"I rest my case," Reaper said as Percy fell face first to the ground. "You know I am interested in seeing what you guys are made of."

"What do you mean," Ty wheezed as he knelt down to check on Percy. Reaper laughed and picked up his axes and rested them on his shoulders.

"Like I said," Reaper said. "I am interested in seeing what you guys are made of. You know you always see how a person truly is when they are at their weakest. So, time for you to show me what you guys are made of."

Ty did not have time to react as Reaper crossed the distance in a blink of an eye and kick Ty in the abdomen. Ty flew back and crashed into a tree spitting up the black liquid. Percy slowly picked himself up and looked at Reaper who turned towards him smiling.

"Good to see you got some sort of fight in ya," Reaper said as he kicked Percy into the air. Pain shot through Percy as he continued to climb to an altitude that was higher than most of the trees in the forest. He was flying back towards the ground when he felt air start to rush around him. Percy looked over at a glowing Ty and knew that he stopped him from crashing back into the ground.

"You guys are seriously trying to fight back," Reaper said. "I like that."

"Percy you ok," Ty asked as he walked towards Reaper with renewed strength. Percy nodded but felt extremely sore and tired. Ty twisted his stave in the air and ran towards Reaper.

"You will not kill them," Ty yelled as he raced towards him. Reaper looked taken aback for a second and got struck by Ty's stave. Reaper was launched off his feet and sent flying towards a giant oak tree he first appeared from. Reaper recovered gracefully and laughed as he stared down the two of them.

"What do you mean them," Reaper asked nonchalantly. "You protecting someone in that camp. Someone special."

"We fight for all of them," Ty said blushing a bit. Percy stood up and looked at the armor that Annabeth gave him before this battle. No way was he going to die out here. The thought of being with Annabeth something happened. He felt himself slowly gaining his energy back just as the rain began to pour harder. The sun was completely blocked out making it look as if it was night. The three glowing bodies were the only light in the small clearing of the forest.

"Really," Reaper said as he started to expel an unseen amount of energy. "I hope that they are worth dieing for!"

"She is," Percy said as he walked next to Ty.

Reaper let out a loud and eerie laugh before he looked tome dead in the eyes. He launched himself forward grabbing his two axes on the way towards them. Percy raised his sword to block as Ty launched a burst of wind, from his hands that Reaper just barely blocked with his axes. The trees behind Reaper where not as fortunate. Ty leveled half the forest behind Reaper who was stopped in his tracks baffled. Reaper looked behind him and surveyed the now leveled field. It looked as if some one took an invisible knife and chopped them all to pieces. Percy took the opportunity to launch an attack himself.

Percy raced forward before Reaper turned back around and landed a solid kick to the face sending Reaper bouncing down the leveled forest. Ty raced by Percy and jumped in the air and launching another blast of wind towards Reaper who still didn't recover from Percy's kick. This blast wasn't as wide or crazy it seemed more controlled and hit Reaper square in the chest ripping the black clothes and tearing into the skin on his chest. Reaper recovered and blocked to rest of the blast sending it away. Percy raced forward again, but this time Reaper was waiting and blocked Percy's sword with one of his axes. Reaper then swept the other axe towards Percy's knees. Percy jumped into the air dodging the blade. While dodging the bled he flew over Reaper and slashed his back. Reaper let out a cry of anger and back kicked towards Percy knocking the wind out of him. Reaper charged towards Percy slashing his axes with quick precision. Percy was slashed across his chest causing him to scream in pain as he fell to the ground. Ty appeared and stabbed his stave into the back of Reaper causing him to divert his attention to him. Percy slowly picked himself up and looked down at his cut. The blood was a cross between red and bright gold.

Percy took three deep breaths and stood up. Ty had been holding off Reaper for a few moments and will soon need back up. Percy had to do something and then he looked down. He was standing in the small river they wanted to stay close too. It gave him an idea as he started to summon the water with all his might. Ty parried another strike and kicked Reaper away. Reaper slowly stood up and turned back to Ty panting a bit.

"So you guys done with this warm up," Reaper asked with a smile.

"I think we are just about done with this whole thing," Ty said as he launched himself as high as he could into the air. Reaper's eyes followed then looked down to see Percy smiling from ear to ear. His entire body screaming bright gold, his eyes where filled with a white light. Percy was floating in the middle of a horizontal vortex of water. Percy shot a hand forward and the vortex turned into a three-story beam of concentrated water that rushed towards Reaper who put up his axes to block it. The water beam hit him but he did not budge. Percy then raised his other hand and shot it forward making the beam of water even stronger and larger than before causing Reaper's feet to be pushed into the dirt about six inches. Percy closed his eyes and brought his hands together in front of him.

"You will never harm the ones we love," Percy said softly more to himself than to Reaper.

"Ugh you kids are good," Reaper screamed. "BUT I WILL DESTROY YOU!"

"This…,"Percy said as he took a step in the air forward. "IS….."

Reaper felt his power draining as Percy's powerful water attack was increasing in strength. Reaper knew that this could not be the end and smirked to himself as he watched in slight humor and horror as Percy opened his eyes finally.

"OVER!" Percy screamed and launched the remaining bits of his power into this his last attack. Reaper felt the beam of water engulf him and he was swept away towards the deep Atlantic. The grounds around them was soaked and destroyed. Ty landed near Percy and fell to a kneel. Percy looked down at him and smirked.

"Wow," Ty said as he fell to his back making a small splash in the wet dirt.

"You said it," Percy said too as his body gave out and he landed next to Ty with a thud. Both where extremely exhausted from the battle. Percy looked down at his body to see that the glowing was gone and his cut was still bleeding red and gold blood. "How did we do that?"

"You will have to ask Chiron cause I have no idea," Ty said as he looked down at his hands. "I just went with it."

"You think he's dead," Percy asked looking towards the ocean. The rain stopped falling and the sun was starting to break through the clouds. Percy turned his attention to Ty who was looking at the ocean with a smirk.

"We shall see Percy," Ty said before closing his eyes and passing out from exhaustion. Percy looked back at the ocean and smiled. It was over….for now at least. Percy closed his eyes for some much need rest.


"PERCY YOU BETTER BE ALIVE," Annabeth's voice filed Percy's ears. Percy slowly opened one eye to be blinded by a giant light that was hanging over him.

"About time you wake up," Annabeth said as she squeezed his hand. Percy let his eyes focus and noticed that Annabeth looked pretty beat up. She had a tear stained face and her hair was a mess.

"Hi," Percy croaked then coughed as Annabeth forced him to drink some water. He took it happily before she took the cup and stared him down. "What'd I do?"

"WHAT DID YOU DO?" She screamed. Percy put his hands up to tell her to calm down she took a deep breath before continuing. "You almost got yourself killed….again. Why do you continue to do this to me."

"I did it to protect the camp," Percy said as he raised himself up from the bed. his chest screamed out in pain causing him to take a sharp breath. He looked down and noticed that the cut was bandaged up.

"Not so invincible now huh," She said nonchalantly. "You're lucky it was just a scratch."

"But how," Percy asked more to himself. "The River Styx's should have insured me that nothing would happen."

"We still don't know why or how yet," Annabeth said rubbing her temples. "Another thing, you leveled half the forest out there you know that right?"

"Hey that wasn't me," Percy said putting his hands up. "You take that up with Ty."

"Fine," Annabeth said with a huff, finally reasonably calm. "What happened back there?"

"If I tell you promise not to get mad?" Percy asked with a grin.

"Percy," Annabeth said slowly and deadly.

"Well," Percy said scratching the back of his head. Percy explained the fight in every detail cause, well she is a daughter of Athena and wanted to know everything that happened. When he finished Annabeth stood up and began to pace at the foot of the bed.

"How where you glowing," Annabeth questioned.

"I don't know," Percy answered.

"How was you strength amplified so much," She asked again.

"I don't know," Percy answered again.

"Well what do you know?" Annabeth screamed a bit annoyed.

"I don't know," Percy said as she started to pace again this time with more vigor in each step.

"He's not dead," Annabeth said coming to the conclusion in her head. "I just have this feeling that we have not seen the last of him."

"Gee you're just a bringer of great news," Ty said as he walked into the room followed by a scolding Thalia. "Nice to see you're up."

"How long have I been out?" Percy asked as he swung his legs over the bedside.

"Four days," Annabeth said.

"Yeah sleepy head," Ty said giving him a hard time, but got a scowl from Annabeth and Thalia.

"You just woke up yourself an hour ago," Thalia said hitting him in the arm. Ty just smiled and looked up at Percy.

"I think we need to ask for some help with this whole glowing power thingy," Ty said as he sat down next to Percy's bed. Thalia looked at Annabeth questionably, but Annabeth gave her the look as if saying 'tell you later'.

"Only one person who can really help us out who comes to mind when dealing with new fighting techniques," Percy said through gritted teeth. "Ares."

"Oh fun," Ty sad as he slung his head back.
