A/N- Still don't own.

Here is the results from the dodgeball game. You decide if I'm right.

Thanks again for everyone who reviewed.


From previous chapter

Finally there were only five people left in the game. Ares and Clarisse on team one and Hermes, Percy and Nico on team two.

Part 21

All five players ran and grabbed a ball. Hermes threw his ball at Ares which Ares sidestepped so it missed. Hermes was knocked out by a shot from Clarisse. Clarisse was hit by the ball thrown by Percy. Ares threw his ball at Percy. Percy managed to dodge it but it hit Nico squarely in the chest. Nico skidded across the room before crashing into the wall behind. His ball dribbled from his limp hand. Nico was not moving. He was injured and unconscious. Percy got to him first, about a second before Hades. Apollo, and Will also rushed to him knowing they were needed.

"Gentle with him," said Hades as Apollo healed him. You could see fear and worry in Lord Hades eyes. Apollo was sure Nico was going to be fine (well he hoped) but wanted to make sure. He decided to move Nico to the Olympus medical centre.

While they were assessing Nico and removing him from the playing area, Athena was talking battle strategies with Ares. She and Clarisse walked back to her team who was sitting in front of Rachel and Lady Hera.

"I'm glad I'm out," Clarisse said.

"Why?" asked Zeus.

"Have you seen Percy? He has his don't mess with me, fighting look," said Rachel.

"Well Ares made a vital mistake," said Annabeth.

"Yeah you don't hurt Percy's friends and family," grumbled Clarisse. Hera looked surprised at this comment.

"Especially Nico, he is very protective of him," said Travis. Athena looked worried.

"He has a list of those who are important to him, it goes Annabeth, Nico and Grover, Thalia," said Rachel. No one disagreed with her.

"So we have one more turn to see who will win," said Lady Hestia.

Ares and Percy got ready to begin. Athena did notice a change in Percy's demeanour as did Zeus and Hera. When the whistle rang both Ares and Percy ran and grabbed a ball. They threw their balls at each other, Ares side stepped the ball coming at him, while Percy managed to catch the ball, although the force made him take a step back. He threw the ball at Ares with all his might but Ares managed to dodge it again.

Poseidon entered the game and all contestants ran to quickly get to balls that were scattered around the arena. They each got a ball and moved so they had a clear shot at each other. Poseidon threw his ball but managed to miss Ares. Ares threw his ball at Percy but Percy managed to just dodge it, it missed him by a whisker. Percy threw his ball but Ares managed to catch it, he quickly threw the ball back in the hope that Percy wasn't expecting it. Percy dodged the ball.

The game was now a fathers and children match. Again they all scrambled to grab a ball from around the arena. Percy managed to dodge the ball thrown at him by Ares while Poseidon was out from a hit by Clarisse. Percy threw his ball and managed to get Clarisse out. The match was back to Ares verses Percy. Percy and Ares again ran and got a ball each and threw it at their opponent. The balls skimmed each other mid air before hitting the opposite target. Percy was hit in the left shoulder; Ares was hit on the right hip. They were hit simultaneously, they were both out.

"Who won?" asked the spectators in awe. No one was sure.

"I WON," shouted Ares his team nodding in agreement.

"NO WE WON," shouted Hermes, Poseidon, Thalia and Connor.

"NEITHER OF YOU WON, IT WAS A TIE," shouted Hera.

"Lady Hestia what do you say?" asked Rachel asking the referee.

"Ares team won," said Lady Hestia. Hades came into the arena.

"In your face, what do you say to that Punk," said Ares.

"Congratulations, NOW DUCK," said Percy.

"ERR…." Said Ares before Hades punched him in the head.

"You idiot, my son is hurt," shouted Hades throwing more punches at Ares. It took Poseidon, Zeus, Hermes and Hephaestus to get Hades away from Ares. Hades gave one last glare at Ares and shadow-travelled away.

"How's Nico?" asked Percy.

"He is resting in his room, he will be fine," said Apollo who had entered the room, "Hey sis shouldn't you be doing your moon duties?" Artemis nodded and stalked out of the room.

"We better all get to our other duties," said Zeus glaring at the others as he left the room. Most of the gods left.

"What did we win?" asked Clarisse.

"This my little pony carrying this care bear," said Aphrodite, showing a purple pony and a pink care bear. (That's when the demi-gods learnt you don't let Aphrodite obtain the prize.)

"What, no way that's girly," said Ares storming out of the room.

"But it would look so good next to the cabbage patch doll I gave you," said Aphrodite leaving the room. Hermes, Apollo and Hephaestus followed Ares so they could tease him for having a cabbage patch kid. The demi-gods were laughing as they exited the room with tapes of the dodge ball game to replay and show Nico.

The next day they all met back in the throne room. On Ares throne is a cabbage patch doll which had been gutted and was stuck on a spear. Nico came in with Percy.

"I can't believe we won the dodge ball contest," said Nico excitedly.

"Yeah, Lady Aphrodite has your trophy," said Percy as Nico ran to her throne.

"But our…" began Ares but the demi-gods all glared at him shutting him up.

"Cool," said Nico playing with the pony and disregarding the care bear.

"Time for the story where are we up to?" asked Percy.

"Demon pigeons," said Connor.

"Oh yes the chariot racing," said Percy

"Percy and I had teamed up for the chariot but we argued so we didn't."

"You told me my brother was a monster and was deceitful and treacherous," said Percy glaring at her.

"I was WRONG," said Annabeth.

"Wow Annabeth admitted she was wrong," said Travis and then ran as Annabeth chased him around the room.

"Tyson admitted he was a monster, but said that he would be a Good monster," said Percy. The demi-gods laughed.

"He certainly is a good monster," said Rachel.

"I was still having dreams about Grover. Usually I just heard his voice. He said 'It is here' and 'he likes sheep'," said Percy.

"Grover likes sheep?" asked Apollo.

"No you idiot, Grover said someone else likes sheep," said Artemis rolling her eyes at her brother.

"Tyson and I finished our chariot and I dreamt about Grover. He was in a wedding dress," said Annabeth. All the demi-gods who didn't know burst out laughing.

"Oh I wish I saw that," said Will with the sons of Hermes nodding in agreement.

"Grover had used an empathy link to contact me. He was trapped in a cave on an island in the sea; he went to Florida and turned left." Poseidon groaned he knew where Grover was, so did Athena.

"He was trapped by Polyphemus, who thought he was a female Cyclops wearing goat smelling perfume. Polyphemus wanted to marry him. Grover wanted to be rescued," said Percy.

"Where was he?" asked Zeus.

"The Sea of Monsters."


A/N: I hope no one is upset with the dodgeball game. If you don't like who won, well the gods could be wrong. (Hey they could be).

I checked, Cabbage Patch Dolls, My Little Pony and Care Bears were popular in 1983.

Chariot Race in next chapter.
