Percy stood in front of the empire state building in New York, looking out upon the massive army approaching him. He stood stock still, not moving a muscle as he stared at the waves of monsters heading towards him.
Around him were the demigods of camp half blood. Many of them were shaking as they looked at the terrifying sight in front of them.
"Even the stone may not get us out of this one?" Chiron said. Percy nodded and sighed.
"We must try. There are thousands of monsters here. It would be better to kill as many as possible before we go down" Percy said.
Chiron nodded in agreement. He patted Percy's shoulder. "If this is the last time we speak, then I would like to tell you that I am proud of you" he said. Percy smiled at him and nodded.
"Thank you." Then, without another word, Percy reached into his pocket and pulled out the reality stone. He stared at it for a few seconds. He then closed his eyes and concentrated. Suddenly, everything flashed red, then went back to normal.
The monsters were still approching and the demigods were still scared out of their minds.
"DEMIGODS, WE STAND HERE TO DEFEND OLYMPUS!" Chiron yelled. "AND DEFEND WE SHALL!"
Some of the demigods mustered up the courage to cheer but others remained silent. Percy sighed and turned around to face the monsters.
"CAMP HALF BLOOD!" he yelled, "CHAAAARRGE!"
The demigods, some reluctantly, sprinted towards the monster wave.
After a few seconds, the groups met head on. Immediately, demigod bodies began dropping to the ground, dead, while monsters began disintegrating. Achilles and Percy fought side by side. They were two blurs of death, slicing through hordes of monsters like butter.
Unfortuntely, the demigods were outnumbered 30 to 1. Everywhere you looked. There was a dead demigod.
Finally, there were only two demigods remaining. Achilles and Percy. Theseus' body lay still on the ground with his head lying a few feet away. Perseus was unmoving as well. Even the immortal Chiron was down. He was not dead, but he could not move. He had an arrow sticking out of his rib and was in unbearable pain.
"So it comes down to this" Percy said as the monsters slowly made a circle around him and Achilles.
"If we're gonna go down..." Achilles started.
"We're gonna go down fighting" Percy said.
"Aaaaw, how touching" a voice said. The monster stepped aside, making a path for a person that Percy definitely did not want to see. Hyperion, titan of light.
"Pers-"
"Cut it. If we're gonna fight we're gonna fight. Don't try to start a conversation with me" Percy said.
Hyperion raised an eyebrow. "Disrespectful all the way to the end. Well that's nice and all but I'm still going to kill you."
Percy laughed. "Are you?"
Percy reached into his pocket and pulled out the reality stone. It glittered red as Percy turned it in his hand.
Then, all of a sudden, he closed his fist around it and closed his eyes. Hyperion's eyes widened.
"Stop him!? he shouted. But it was too late. There was a bright flash of red light and then all of a sudden. Everything was dark.
When Hyperion's sight returned to him, he was standing in front of his army, but something was wrong. All the demigods were gone and there was monster dust everywhere.
Then, he looked up and was met with a horrible sight. All the demigods that his army had just killed were sprinting towards them. Hyperion's eyes widened, then they narrowed.
"Killl them" he snarled. "Kill them ALLLL!"
The monsters clashed with the demigods again and same as before, it did not take long before the demigods were almost all dead. One person was missing though.
"Where is the Perseus boy" Hyperion sneered. "WHERE IS HE?!"
"Right here" came a voice. Hyperion looked around and caught sight of Percy. He already had the stone in his hand, though, and before Hyperion could say a word, there was a flash of red light and everything was back to the way it was before, except all the monsters stayed disintegrated.
"How is this possible?" Hyperion asked himself. "The boy has some unknown power to turn back time" Hyperion said as the campers came running back at his aemy once again.
Once again, Hyperion and the monsters faced the campers head on. This time, though, Hyperion watched Percy throughout the whole battle. He watched as Percy sliced through his ranks. He thought about engaging Percy in battle but then, he had another, better, idea.
As all the demigods fell under the hordes of monsters for yet a third time, Hyperion watched Percy. When it was just Perseus and Achilles standing, Hyperion flashed in front of him.
"So you seem to have found a way to reverse time" Hyperion said.
Percy looked up at the titan. He knew that he should have just ignored him but Percy couldn't resist taunting Hyperion a little bit.
"Oh it's not turning back time" Percy said. "It's something that you'll never know or understand."
That's all Hyperion needed. In the blink of an eye, he had flashed in front of Percy and grabbed at the stone. His fist closed around it at the same time that Percy's did.
Hyperion growled and yanked his arm, trying to get the stone out but Percy held on for dear life, knowing that if he let go, it would spell doom for Olympus and camp half blood. Hyperion was a titan, though, anf he was much stronger than Percy. Percy knew that it was a matter of seconds before Hyperion would get the stone.
Suddenly, Achilles drew his spear back and drove it directly into Hyperion's abdomen.
Hyperion roared in pain and his grip on the stone loosened. Percy quickly yanked it back. He then closed his eyes. Just as the sky started to flash red, Hyperion leaped at Percy and snatched the stone from his hand.
A few minutes later
Percy opened his eyes standing in front of the empire state bulding for the fourth time. He immediately reached into his pocket for the reality stone, expecting it to be there. He was shocked, though, to find that it was empty. A panicked expression came on Percy's face.
Chiron looked at Percy worriedly. "Is something wrong!"
"The stone" Percy said. "It's gone!!"
Chiron's jaw dropped. "How did you lose it?!"
"Hyperion caught on to what was going on" Percy said. "He tried to make a grab at the stone and we wrestled for it but then Achilles stabbed him and he dropped. We were about to return to reality when he made a last ditch grab at it. I wasn't careful enough and I think he has it right now."
"But that wasn't reality, right?" Chiron asked.
"You forgot? It isn't reality for us but it is for them. Everything that goes on for them is real" Percy said.
"So when he snatched the stone..."
"He actually got the stone" Percy said.
"But if it wasn't reality for us then why don't you have a stone with you" Chiron asked.
"I don't think that's how it works Chiron. There can only be one stone. Since he grabbed the stone, he has the one stone. There cannot be more than one copy. Reality isn't a printer" Percy explained.
Chiron's expression was solemn. "What do we do now?" he asked.
Percy looked towards the monster army. "We fight for our lives. I will try to get the stone back."
Chiron nodded. "Let them know that the stone is gone. Tell them that this is actually life or death." Chiron nodded again. Percy sighed.
A couple minutes later
Each side stood facing each other, just 100 yards away. Though thousands of monsters had been cut down, over three thousand remained. Meanwhile, the 250 campers and hunters of Artemis remained.
Camp half blood was the first to charge. They ran at the monsters courageously, knowing full well that they would die gruesome deaths.
Just as the two groups were about to meet, a bolt of lightning struck the ground directly in the middle of the armies.
Everyone stopped moving as the sky darkened. Then, suddenly, a figure flew from the sky at alarming speed and slammed into the earth.
The figure had a red cape on, which billowed behind him. In his hand he held a large hammer, which crackled with lightning every few seconds.
Seconds later, a streaking form flew from the sky and landed next to the figure. This guy looked more like a robot. His suit was red and gold and looked like it was made of metal.
Seconds after he landed, another figure dropped in, but this guy was nowhere near human. He was seven and a half, maybe even eight feet tall! He had green skin and muscles bulged on his body everywhere you looked. There were two people on his shoulders. One was a man in a purple suit that had an empty qyiver on his back and was holding a bow. The other was a red haired woman that wore a black jumpsuit and had all types of gadgets strapped to her body.
"He jumped all the way here?" the robot guy asked in a somewhat metallic voice. Purple man nodded and robot man chuckled. "Must've been a bumpy ride."
"You have no idea" red hair girl muttered.
Just a few seconds after she said those words, another guy came sprinting up to the group. He was wearing what looking like a red white and blue suit and he had a shield on his back.
"Did you run all the way here?" robot guy asked. Red white and blue nodded. Robot guy shook his head. "You're insane man. You're not even breathing that hard. Are you even tired?"
"I am. I'm just not showing it" red white and blue said. "So, what the hell is going on here, more chitauri?"
"Those don't look like chitauri" purple man said.
"Yeah, more like giant, bulgy geckos" robot man said. "Well, some of them look like that anyway."
"Smash?" the giant green guy said.
Robot guy looked at the hammer guy. " Are we smashing? You're the guy who brought us here."
"Yes we are smashing" Thor said as he looked at Hyperion. "We are smashing all of them."
Percy glanced at Chiron and he knew they were thinking the same thing. 'Who the hell are these guys?'
"Okay buddy, looks like we're smashing" robot guys said, floating off the ground and patting green guy's shoulder.
"YAAAYYYY SMASH!" green guy shouted. He then turned to the monster army and charged them. His friends were soon behind him.
The campers and hunters could only watch in awe as the group of six people began to destroy the monster army.
The hammer guy was crushing all types of monsters, even laistrogynian giants, under his hammer. Lightning was flashing everywhere, disintegrating monsters on the spot.
The robot guy was shooting blasters from his palm, disintegrating monsters, while purple man and red hair were working with the red white and blue guy. Red hair seemed to be the only one with a weapon that could kill a monster, some electrical thingy in her wrist, so red white and blue guys and purple man would thwack monsters with their shield and bow then red hair would shoot them.
The one that seemed to be having the most fun, though, was big green guy. He was stomping on monsters, tearing them apart, and even crushing them under his massive fists.
Camp half blood was stunned. These people were literally running through Hyperion's army.
Suddenly, Chiron yelled, "Ataaaack!"
Camp half blood was shaken out of their shock and followed their leader into battle.
Percy immediately engaged with Percy, who was trying to figure out the whereabouts of the stone.
It seemed as if a lot was going right for the camp, but then, things started going downhill.
The sound of a loud horn rang through the air and suddenly, another wave of monsters began to pour through the streets of New York, and leading them, was Kronos himself.
