Me: How was your Christmas?

Finn: Ours went decently.

Me: No webcam, so maybe a smidge of Skyping for you.

Finn: -gasp- You didn't know about our Skype?

Me: We got a Skype! Correction: I got a Skype. Finn doesn't make too many appearances. I did talk to MoonXRain.

Finn: Didn't she change her username?

Me: … Ungh. I don't know anymore.

Chapter 25

Kat POV

We weaved into the woods and out quickly and back into open battle. Percy Jackson was slashing a few balrogs open and Arianna Fitzpatrick was 'stupidfying' a few Dementors. Finn reached into his pocket and then stared at me.

"I dropped my knife."

"You dropped your knife?" I said. I looked behind us, where the woods loomed. And Finn's knife. I sighed then remembered something that I put in my pocket before I left my small room. I reached into my pocket and pulled it out. Finn gaped at it.

"How did… what?"

"Please, Finn. I own every weapon: fictional and nonfictional." I examined the small, metallic blue, cylindrical figure with an ink tip.

"This is Walt's Pen. I'm really not supposed to be giving it to you now, so when this stupid war is over, you give it back to me. It's only to be given to the 'chosen one'." Link looked up where he was whacking a Deku Baba.

"Not you," Finn said. He frowned and continued stabbing it.

"It electrocutes the enemy, so watch where you aim. Aim and press the button on the hilt. DO NOT USE THIS FOR TOO LONG! You will get attached and then I'll have to break your face. Clear?" I snapped. Finn nodded, now looking like he didn't want it anymore. I handed it to him and he took it reluctantly.

"Okay," I said. "GO KILL PEOPLE! RAHH!" I yelled, charging back into the woods. Finn crashed in after me. I sighed and turned around.

"What're you doing?" I asked.

"Following you…?"

"NO! Go back! I'm going to kill Candice. You go kill her friends." I pointed behind him and he stared at me for a moment. Then he turned and trudged away. I sighed and kept running.

"If I were a zucchini, where would I be?" I grumbled as I jumped over a tree stump. Then I slammed into a moving figure.

"OW!" they yelled.

"What do you want?" I growled. I saw who it was and raised an eyebrow.

"What're you doing out here anyway?" I asked. Leo sighed and raised a wrench.

"I'm looking-" he started.

"Where are you from?"

"Well, Wolfie…"
"Ah. Say no more. You're from my Redwolf11 thing. Kaylena and… 'kay. Uh… unpublished fics… that way." I pointed to the left as Leo from Heroes of Olympus ran off in the direction I was pointing.

"Kat." I turned and saw Candice standing across the clearing, opposite the tree stump. She was not in zucchini form, but in Katniss form. I knew it was her because the Bracelet was beeping like crazy. It does that when it senses her.

"Candice."

"Looking for me?"

"Only a bit," I said, creeping closer.

"No weapons. Fair fight. For me. Could you handle it?" she asked.

"Can you? You're just a cucumber with a fancy get-up," I laughed. She dropped her bow and arrow and I dropped my sword.

"Fair fight," I confirmed.

"No interfering?"

"No interfering."

"To the death?" she asked. I winced. To the death was a little much.

"To the death."

Finn POV

Being dissed by your kidnapper wasn't fun. And there I was with a weapon that 'I shouldn't get attached to' or she'll 'break my face'. Thanks, Kat. I charged in and pressed the button, aiming at a giant stomping through. A stream of lightning shot out from the tip of the pen and it zapped the giant, who exploded into yellow dust. I coughed and kept running. A few got in my way, but were soon eliminated. It was easy to use, and efficient. Walt's Pen was pretty awesome. How would I earn it? By… doing good deeds? Zap. Can drives? Zap. Nursing homes? Zap. As my thoughts raced, I zapped the enemy.

"FINN!" someone yelled. I turned and someone grabbed the back collar of my shirt and flew me up into the air. When I stopped freaking out, Percy brought me up next to him on Blackjack.

"Kat's in trouble?" I asked.

"I don't know that, but there's something wrong, and Taffy needed you. And I have to hurry. Unless you want us to die." We flew up into the sky where there was a boat pushing through the clouds.

"The Argo 2?" I asked, excitedly.

"No. It's a fly-boat. Ron Weasely likes it. Anyway…" we flew up next to it. Jack Sparrow was steering and yelling at someone for 'stealing his peanuts'. Taffy helped me on, saluted Percy, and Percy went back down to fight.

"Kat's in trouble?" I asked again.

"Is she?" he asked, like he was going to freak out.

"No! Just… just checking… What do you want?"

"This is a fly-boat equipped with celestial bronze cannonballs. We are going to fire it upon the enemy's masses."
"Why do you need me? Specifically…"

"Because someone's on here to see you." Taffy pointed to a door that would lead to a cabin. I looked at Taffy unsurely before opening the door. The staircase led down to a looming darkness, like the stairs were being eaten. Shut up, brain. I went down the stairs and felt around for a doorknob. It was the only door down there. I twisted it open and there was a small gold shrine emanating from the room, the only light in the room. A person was kneeling, wearing a white gown and a veil over her head. When I came in she spoke,

"Finnegan Whitman. Enter."

Me: WHO'S THE CREEPY GIRL?

Finn: I don't know.

Me: … Enthusiastic. I'm going to Universal sometime next week and if you have any advice for anti-heights people. My friend wants be to ride Hulk, but that goes…

Finn: Upside down.

Me: Yeah. I like it when I go fast, not upside down. HUGE heights, like dropping sixty feet, isn't fun.

Read and Review? I mentioned you G-L-I-M-M-E-Ressence. Arianna Fitzpatrick. Yep.
