PJ an unexpected alliance c10

She bowled through the monsters that were now scampering away fleeing as their army had failed. The Romans and Greeks were working together finishing up the stragglers. When Alexa froze tilting her head she looked through the retreating enemy. She turned to look at Thalia sharing a look with her one Thalia didn't understand, taking off before Thalia could ask; she disappeared. Literally one minute she was in between two hell hounds and centaurs the next she was gone. They all marched forwards wanting to know what had happened. Thalia had shouted out her name but became concerned when she could no longer feel the link to her. They continued to fight, this fight lasted them 26 minutes. In this time they had conquered the monster army glad that no other Giant had shown themselves. They had set up a perimeter and had guards posted as they tended to their injured and claimed their dead. Thalia looked around her hunters seeing Phoebe helping the Apollo kids she noticed she was down at least three hunters and four more were injured but Phoebe says they will make a full recovery.

"Thalia it is Alexandra." One of the hunters stated making Thalia and Phoebe run out of the tent they were in to see Alexa walking into their impromptu camp. She seemed to be limping Thalia moved over to her and watched as she lowered herself to the ground that was when she realized she had two passengers.

"Annabeth?" Thalia shouted seeing Annabeth and Percy both looked terrible. She waved forward healers as she and Phoebe helped them down off her back. Once they were down they were engulfed by campers only for them to be shooed away by Will and Malcom who immediately began to assess them. Phoebe had also began her assessment of Alexa as she lied on the ground. Thalia noticed the large gash on her side as if she had been scratched by a giant, her eyes were closed as Phoebe was talking softly to her.

"How?" Jason asked moving over to Percy who would not let Annabeth go.

Annabeth opened her eyes to be looking up at Percy, at first she thought it was just a dream and that they were still stuck in Tartarus but her gaze landed on Malcom and Will and everything came crashing back. She looked to Percy with panic in her eyes he seemed to understand exactly what she was feeling. Annabeth then noticed a giant wolf lying down across from her.

"Alexa?" Annabeth asked

"She would not leave your side...do you know how worried we have been about you? Why didn't you come out at the door?" Piper asked she was next to her as were the rest of the Argo crew, and several other people.

"Only way to stop monsters coming out." Percy stated but his eyes were on Annabeth.

"What have we missed?"

"Well the monster army was defeated we still need to make it up to the giants but when our guide left us...turns out she was saving you...you should have seen her fight I mean it was freaking amazing." Piper, Leo and Hazel all said over each other.

"The giants?"

"No doubt waiting for us." Jason said, "we have had time to rest for half an hour we can't really push it any later, we just wanted to see you were alright before we head off."

"What?" Percy asked the way they were talking was if they would not be going

"Dude you just got back from...well you know. No one expects you to fight anymore. You have sacrificed enough." Frank stated

"No, we will finish this." Annabeth states sitting up her hand going around the sword that she was given in Tartarus, Alexa was right about finding friends in unlikely places. she also found it interesting that it looked exactly like the knife Alexa had shown her or thought she had shown her, she still was not sure on that part.

"Say what?" Malcom asked looking down at her.

"We need to finish this. Stop the giants." Annabeth stated more firmly there was an edge to her tone that clearly meant no arguments.

"We can have the legion ready to move..."

"No, it needs to be the seven of us."

"The seven of you can't face the giants alone."

"We won't be alone." Annabeth stated looking around the room

"The gods have not helped so far."

"Except for killing Alexa." Hazel pointed out

"We have to have faith they will." Annabeth replies even as she said it she knew it felt strange especially where she had just come from she knew she was lacking in the faith department. She felt a nudge and turned to see that Alexa had moved closer to her, it was weird that she did not know what she was saying or that she didn't feel that weird tingling sensation. But she could tell what she wanted, she was not alone.

"Let's go slay some giants." Percy stated pulling Annabeth up. They moved out of the tent to find as they walked through the camp everyone was staring at them.

The Seven made their way to the Parthenon in the Argo II where a whole new battle took place. Just like Annabeth predicted the gods came down from Olympus in their chariots dressed for war where they battled alongside their demigod children slaying their Giant counterparts and any other Giant. Poseidon teamed up with Percy, Annabeth fought alongside Athena, Piper with Aphrodite, Frank with Mars, Hazel with Pluto, Jason with Zeus and up on the Argo Leo worked with Hephaestus the other gods were there like Apollo, Hermes, Hestia, Dionysus and Artemis who was fighting alongside Alexa who was still in Wolf form tearing at giants limbs. Finally it was over Zeus and Jason alongside Percy and Poseidon worked together to bring down Porphyrion. But it was a little too late Annabeth was cut across her leg and was currently being treated to by her mother and Percy well during the fight he got a bloody nose. The earth was shaking the gods looked around nervously as Gaïa began to rise. Percy and Jason alongside the other seven stood vast with the Olympians behind them when they began their attack on the earth mother. Piper was with Jason as Leo managed to trap Gaia and pulled her from the earth up into the sky. Piper began to charmspeak her hoping to put her back to sleep. Percy alongside Annabeth borrowed Artemis's chariot and raced across the sky to assist. Frank was in the form of a dragon as they each worked together to defeat Her. Percy ended up borrowing his father's Trident and alongside Jason and Leo through water, air and fire they managed to destroy Gaïa's form and put her back to sleep.

After the fight they didn't remain in Greece the gods snapped everyone back to their camps for a week. Annabeth and Percy were inseparable they were asked a lot of questions but kept it as brief as possible. Reyna and Frank as Praetors were in contact with Chiron throughout the week coming up with a plan for peace amongst the two camps. Leo had left saying he needed to sort something out after the battle and so far no one had heard from him. Nico has been spending his time with Will, Hazel being in Rome with Frank and Jason and Piper stayed at Camp half blood for now.
They were summoned to Olympus... Annabeth was with Percy sitting on the beach resting her head on his shoulder looking up at the sky ever since coming out of Tartarus she loved looking at the sky. When they were flashed to Olympus, at first they were confused then they saw that the other crew from the Argo were there including Leo with Calypso and a wave of dread washed over her as she remembered the curse down in Tartarus. Reyna and Nico were there as she turned to look at the gods up on their thrones she saw Alexa lying at the feet of Artemis before she met her mother's gaze and lowered her head to her.

Percy looked around the room he was anxious and nervous, Chiron had warned him that the gods were wanting to reward them but didn't know when or how? He guessed now and was about to find out. Annabeth was looking at her mother and seemed to be having a silent conversation with her as she felt Annabeth's hand squeeze his, she still had not let him go.

'Percy, you need to accept their offer.' A voice echoed in his head that made him tense. 'Relax Jackson it is only me.' A very familiar sarcastic voice stated making him turn to the wolf lying on the floor she was not looking at him in fact it seemed she was asleep.
'I am not asleep. You need to accept their offer. Annabeth will be accepting her mother's offer she has to seeming she is now her champion after the mark of Athena. You need to accept their offer.' Alexa informed him.

'Why?'

'They do not like you refusing them, this would be the third time...you need to accept it.' She stated he knew she was hiding something but the desperation in her voice this was no trick. He had a feeling it would not be good for his health if he refused them for a third time.

"Heroes of Olympus! Welcome...you have all shown bravery and loyalty to us and now is the time for you to be rewarded. Jason Grace my son I offer you immortality do you accept?" Zeus declared as Jason stepped forward and knelt in front of his father he looked up before looking at Piper.

"I accept on a condition that Piper be granted the same." Jason replied Zeus looked at his son before looking around the room several of the gods nodded in agreement

"Consider it done." Zeus declared as he struck his master bolt onto the marble floor.

Frank Zhang son of Mars step forward." Zeus stated he did his reward was that his curse be broken.

"Hazel daughter of Pluto." Zeus stated her reward was her curse also to be broken

"Leo Valdez son of Hephaestus step forward." Zeus stated and Leo looked nervously at Calypso before stepping forward and making a very awkward bow towards the king of gods. "I hear by offer you immortality to work under your father who has asked to take you on as his apprentice." Zeus stated making Leo openly gap at the Zeus before turning to his father who was giving him a lopsided smile. He then returned the smile looking over at Calypso and everyone could tell he had just solved a problem.

"I accept." He grinned moving over to Calypso his smile seemed to get wider.

"Reyna daughter of Bellerom step forward...we know of the sacrifices you made in order to bring the Athena Parthenon back to the Greek camp we also know that if it weren't for you we would still be at war with ourself and would have failed at destroying the giants. You are one of the best Praetors we have had we have spoken with Lupa and the other Roman gods and are in agreement...so we offer you this, immortality but you are to remain at the Roman camp as Grand Praetor of the 12 legions." Zeus stated it obviously being clear they had just made up the role as Grand Praetor. Reyna was speechless and in shock as were the other demigods, before Percy ruined it by cheering Reyna on he got several weird looks from everyone in the room.

"I accept." Reyna stated mainly because like any good Roman knows you never refuse the gods.

"Nico son of Hades... your father has already rewarded you as Lieutenant of the underworld for you bravery. We are just making it official." Zeus stated (Nico was immortal)

"Annabeth Chase Daughter of Athena. We all know that you are the first to ever complete the Mark of Athena therefore are made Champion of Athena, I take it your mother has filled you in on what that means?" Zeus stated to which Annabeth nodded looking from Zeus to Athena "So be it. You are hereby known as Champion of Athena." He stated banging his master bolt on the ground it sent a shock wave through the room and Percy could swear Annabeth seemed to glow.

"What does that mean?" Percy asked he wasn't looking at anyone else he was looking at Annabeth and she looked at him with sadness in her eyes. He moved in closer to her pulling her in for a hug holding her tight. Several of the gods protested only to fall silent when a growl echoed the room, Alexa was now sitting and seemed to be glaring at the gods that had protested.

"Daughter get her under control or she will have to leave." Zeus stated Alexa stopped growling when Artemis places her hand on her neck making her lie down.

"She says to let them be, they went through something none of us would dare...?" Artemis looked at Alexandra who was looking up at her right in the eyes before they closed her breathing evened out indicating she was asleep.

"And what would that be?" Ares asked

"Tartarus, even we do not enter there." Hades stated looking at the two of them, he had a soft spot for his nephew since he got him back on the council but his respect soared when he survived Tartarus for that long with his girl. The room fell into a dead silence as everyone watched the two in the middle of the room completely oblivious to them staring.

"Perseus Jackson son of Poseidon step forward." Zeus stated wanting to get this over with. Percy gave Annabeth one last squeeze before going and lowering his head at his uncle before nodding to his father who looked at him lovingly. "Twice now you have been offered immortality and so on the councils insistence I offer you this for a third time bare in mind there will not be a fourth. Do you accept to join your father at his side? Twice now you have saved Olympus and in doing so we offer you godhood over heroes, loyalty and waves." Zeus declared the other demigods were all shock Percy himself was freaking out he turned to look at Annabeth but her expression was unusually blank. The message was clear this was up to him. He knew that as Athena's champion he figured that Annabeth was now immortal this way they could still be together then he thought about his other friends those that had died, his mother and step father Paul would they be alright if he was to become immortal? Then Alexa's warning flashed in his head and he turned to look at her but she was asleep he met Artemis's gaze did she know that Alexa warned him? His gaze landed on his father who he could see had hope in his eyes. Could he be a god? What if he wasn't good enough?

"I-I accept...on three conditions." Percy stated his voice cracking as he did.

AN: What are his conditions find out in the next chapter. What do you think? Until next time.
